Episode 311. The Wind Blowing from Yunnan (1)

Tang Baek-gang has completed preparations to leave for Guizhou Province with Tang Ga-ta’s full support.

It wasn’t just the people selected by Noh Kwan-young who formed the line.

From the carpenters who will build the building to the general manager and hired workers of the Gongsun family who will expand the commercial area.

The long line stretched far into the distance.

Dang Baek-gang, who was leading the way, rode a shiny horse gifted to him by the Xuan-ge tribe of Yunnan, looking like a general going on a campaign.

And a few days later, Baekta came to visit at Cheonyeong’s request.

“You’re going to open a branch in Guizhou… … How far do you plan on expanding?”

“what?”

“How long has it been since the fight with Zhuge Se-ga ended and you’re already moving?”

“Nam Isa.”

Cheonyeong smiled and said to Baekta, who was sticking out his tongue.

“You are truly the craziest bastard I have ever seen. You have already taken over half of Hubei Province and even Dongting Lake in Honam. What are you so greedy about? Are you the king of conquest?”

“I just said it was a branch office?”

“You’re talking like a branch office. Who would think that a moving Dangata is just a branch office?”

He’s saying the exact same thing as Gongsun Seung.

But what does openness have to do with what other people do?

“By the way, aren’t you going to build an ark?”

“what?”

“Have you heard the story about the Yangtze River? Not long ago, Brother Gwangro became the general manager.”

“I heard. He’s a success. A country bumpkin from Dongjeongho is the general manager of the Yangtze River… … I didn’t know he would become one of the most influential figures in the Central Plains.”

“Why? Do you remember the time when you were in the clutches of the evil one?”

“Oh, don’t even mention that. He’s already put so much pressure on opening up since he took office as the chief debtor. It looks like he won’t be able to go near the Yangtze River for a while.”

“You reap what you sow, huh? You should open up quickly too. Then, won’t Brother Gwangro at least notice?”

Baekta snickers at Cheonyeong’s words.

“Do you think our opening is the same as Sapa? We have to follow the history and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. The Lord of the Ark is still in control, so what kind of Ark am I? Maybe after twenty years or so, I will understand.”

“Twenty years?”

“okay.”

“Oh, shit, I made a bad investment. I made a bad investment. I should have approached the ark instead of you.”

“Oh my god!”

Although Sung was angry, Baekta could not refute the claim.

It is true that Cheonyeong’s power was of great help in ascending to the throne.

Even after the Battle of the Yangtze River, its position grew even further.

His guardian, Hyeol-gu, ascended to the position of Daejang-ro, and Chui-bul-gae, who was the head of the Sacheon Sangbang, quickly took the position of Bonbang Dharma Elder.

Since even Noh Sang-gae, who was the head of the Ganyang branch, was in the same place as Sacheon Sangbang, those around Baekta were able to control the opening.

The so-called open real power.

The decision-making authority was in the hands of the ark, but most of the authority was in the hands of Baekta.

“By the way, what’s going on? I came running here after dropping everything I was doing because you asked me to come see you.”

“Oh, let’s get to the main point later when the executioners arrive. I went to call them, so they’ll be here soon.”

“Death rowers?”

“Yeah. You all know the face, right?”

“I know, but.”

Baekta nodded, looking puzzled.

If it’s a story that needs to be heard with the executioners, not the vassals… … .

“Hey, have you found out any information about the Eight Immortals?”

“Anyway, the feeling is… … . right.”

“Wow! He really is a very smart guy. He must have been busy fighting the war and dealing with the aftermath. When did you know about that?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

Cheonyeong pauses for a moment.

Records of the Zhuge family.

In exchange for the withdrawal of the seal, a clue was attached when Zhuge Changyun handed it over.

It’s a secret from others.

Since you made a promise, you must keep it.

“Somehow.”

“How did that happen?”

“Yeah. I just happened to get my hands on it.”

“Who are you trying to fool? Zhuge Liang?”

“… … .”

“That’s right. Jegal Se-ga had the records from that time.”

When Baekta, who was quick-witted, spoke as if he already knew everything, Cheonyeong tried to avoid the question and pretended not to know.

He himself said nothing.

It’s just that Baekta’s ability to just roll over the opponent’s opponents is outstanding.

The promise was kept.

“I thought someone would have the history of that time.”

“… … .”

“Those damn guys, when I sent the request, they didn’t say anything.”

Baekta had already anticipated this.

When Cheonyeong first asked me to find out about the Palseon.

Most of the records from that time were lost, and those that were found were fabricated.

The reason was obvious.

Three hundred years ago, during the war with the Demonic Cult, they were able to drive out the demonic cult with the help of the Eight Immortals, but since they were not at the center of it, they manipulated history.

It would be enough to respect and commemorate them, but they must have erased and changed that history in order to preserve their modest pride.

“Somehow, the Zhuge family didn’t seal the gate. Was that the condition?”

“… … .”

“Yes, that would be so. I thought it was strange that you went back to the Jegal family, so that was the reason?”

Cheonyeong still kept her mouth tightly shut.

That son of a bitch.

The skill of turning things over, then and now, is excessively sharp.

Can’t you just hear a few words and figure it out as if you were there?

“So? What did you find out?”

“Should we start when the executioners come?”

“You guys, you do what you want to do, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. If you make me annoyed, I might not help you.”

Cheonyeong frowns deeply at Baekta’s words.

This guy also became a successor and grew up a lot.

He also knows how to threaten himself… … .

Pick laughed and Cheonyoung sighed and said.

“The names of the eight immortals.”

“really?”

“Yeah. Everyone knows.”

“Well, so you want me to find those descendants?”

“If not you, who else can I leave it to? No one is as quick to find people as Gaebong.”

“This kid thinks of Gaebong as his servant? There are a lot of people in Danggata now.”

“I heard you’re going to open a branch in Guizhou Province. We don’t have the resources.”

“What the heck! Then what about opening up? Is there room to spare?”

“How many beggars are there? It’s not for nothing that they say there are a hundred thousand ways.”

“Oh my, you can’t even speak.”

Baekta shook his head and held out his hand.

“what?”

“Give me your name, I’ll have to find you.”

“No, when the executioners come… … .”

“Why would I meet those people? I know their faces, but I’m not close with them, so it’s awkward. Just give me the names of the Eight Immortals. I’m busy too.”

“Pretending to be busy.”

“This is real! I’m a slut, a slut! Don’t you know what that means? I came here because I was called by you. I have a lot of work to do!”

“Okay, okay.”

Cheon-yeong sighed at Baek-ta’s annoyance and took out the paper he had written on separately and handed it to him.

“What is your real name?”

“huh.”

“… … How long do you need me to look into it?”

“The faster the better.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll try to use all my information powers to the fullest.”

“Thank you. Always.”

“If you are grateful, please ask the Sacheon Sangbang in the future.”

“Sacheon Sangbang? Who do you trust?”

“What are you going to do with the death penalty for Noh Sang-gae?”

“That guy is so ugly.”

“What the heck! Then why don’t you just send me to Jeonseo-gu? Don’t you know where I’m from? Gaebong, Hanamseong Gaebong!”

“Well, it didn’t take that long.”

Baekta’s face turns bright red at the sight of Cheonyoung smiling brightly.

It seemed like he was so angry that he couldn’t even curse.

“Anyway, I have a favor to ask, my friend.”

Baekta, who had been smiling brightly and shaking off the hand grab, got up in anger.

“If you can’t speak… … Anyway, I’ll send a messenger to Tongjeongak starting with the names that have been confirmed, so let me know in advance.”

“Huh? Are you leaving already?”

“I told you I’m busy, really busy!”

“Why are you pretending to be busy when you’re fucking up something.”

Baekta, who was glaring fiercely at Cheonyeong’s mutterings, let out a deep sigh.

“I’m leaving now.”

“Okay. Next time, come early. I’ll prepare some good alcohol.”

“Or so.”

Baekta waved his hand and left Dangata.

How exquisite is the skill of climbing over the wall.

It looks like you’ve put in quite a bit of effort so far.

If you look at it, you can see that the skills are quite good.

But why the fence?

It’s not like I came secretly, so I could have just used the door.

Anyway, habits are scary.

“Well, since I have some free time, should I go check out the Shadow Corps training? As for the death squads… … I’ll go and meet them.”

Because they are serving as the deputy commanders of the Dark Shadow Corps under the Yongcheon River.

After Cheon-yeong left the residence, walking unsteadily.

“Your Majesty, this is Giltae.”

Byun Gil-tae comes to Cheon-yeong’s residence and calls her.

But there was no way an answer could come from the already empty dwelling.

* * *

Northern Yunnan, southern territory of the Xuanjia people.

A group of drones hide in the dense forest, looking very tense.

“Whew, it looks like we’ve shaken off the pursuers.”

The warrior of the Hyungal tribe who returned from inspecting the outside let out a sigh of relief.

“The Euncheon Dunhyeong formation that I learned from the Jungwon people is so helpful. Was it called Dangga-ta?”

“Yes. If I hadn’t unfolded it in time, it would have been a big problem.”

“That was a great help. To receive help from the teachings of the Zhongyuan people.”

Euncheon Dunhyeong was a type of illusionary formation that used the surrounding terrain to conceal itself.

Since they were a Hyeon-gal tribe that was actively interacting with the Dang-ga-ta, they learned from them.

“By the way, what about the chief?”

“It’s not good.”

The middle-aged man shook his head at the young warrior Bunta’s question.

The middle-aged man was Mando, a warrior of the Saryeong tribe who belonged to the Odokmun along with the Hyungal tribe.

Since the territories of the two tribes were adjacent, there was a lot of traffic between them even on a regular basis.

“What on earth is going on? Why did the Wukong tribe attack the Commander tribe?”

“I don’t know why either. Why did they attack? They suddenly attacked, and I barely managed to escape with the injured Daego.”

At Mando’s words, Bunta looks at Daego, who has collapsed and is panting.

Daego was the chieftain of the Saryeong clan.

Not long ago, their tribe was attacked unexpectedly.

The evil spirits were the Wukong tribe.

Because of them, countless warriors were killed and the tribesmen were scattered in different directions as they broke down the defensive line in one fell swoop.

Only Mando managed to save the chieftain and escape to the territory of the Hyungal tribe.

They were chased by the pursuing party, but they were barely able to escape thanks to the quick response of the Hyungal tribe warriors.

But an attack?

It was impossible.

The five elements of the Five Readings are Wukong, Saryeong, Hyungal, Byeokho, and Mahap.

Didn’t those five tribes maintain peace for a long time by performing a confederation ceremony and keeping a covenant not to invade each other’s territory?

“There was something strange about them. They couldn’t communicate, and their eyes were filled with madness. It was as if they were possessed by something.”

“hmm…….”

“This is not normal. It feels like something big is going to happen throughout the Odokmun area.”

When Mando showed signs of anxiety, Bunta said.

“First, go to our branch. We need to treat the chief first.”

“Thank you. I will never forget the help you gave me.”

“Don’t mention it. The Commander-in-Chief has been friends with us for generations.”

“hmm.”

“It seems like the pursuit party has moved to another place, so hurry. If we get caught, we’ll be in trouble.”

“Okay.”

Mando carried the commander on his back, and Bunta ordered the branch warriors to hurry and prepare to move.

Although the treatment of the Commander was urgent, Bunta wanted to hurry and inform the Commander of the current situation.

The Wukong tribe’s pursuit force did not hesitate to attack not only the Commander tribe but also the Hyungal tribe.

Judging by the atmosphere, it was clear that the painter would soon reach Hyun-gal as well.

We had to let them know quickly so they could respond.

Perhaps, the attack by the Wukong tribe could be the prelude to a war that would engulf Yunnan.
