The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 26

What Dangyeong took out of his sleeve… It was a small wooden barrel.
Dangyoung opened the lid of the flat cylinder and showed the contents inside to Dang Bihyeon.
“It’s a golden pill. Spray it on the wound.”
Dang Bi-hyeon, who was about to reflexively throw a fine needle, hesitated.
This is because, without a doubt, it was truly a golden drug.
While he was dazed, Tang Ying took out another cylinder from his sleeve.
“This is ointment. “I have a lot, so come to me when you need it.”
After showing the contents inside, he closed the lid and placed it in front of Dang Bi-hyeon.
“I know you don’t trust me. So let’s call it a day.”
Dangyeong took a step back and took control for a moment.
Dang Bi-hyeon faced her eyes, which were a mixture of complex colors, and fidgeted with his hands.
The fine stitching was hidden inside the sleeve.
Meanwhile, Dangyeong smiled softly.
“Call me anytime you need.”
After saying one last word, she left without looking back.
Guard Yang came down from the roof.
“I was going to cut your back the moment you attacked Confucius, but you only gave me medicine.”
“I see.”
Dang Bi-hyeon picked up the Geumchang medicine and ointment and stood up.
A golden opportunity to kill or subdue the opponent was thrown away.
Even though there is no particular reason to refuse.
“ha.”
Not believing in innocence even after seeing such behavior is a pathological suspicion.
This much has been proven.
Let’s introduce her to Namgung Seobaek soon.
As a newly joined assistant.
Dang Bi-hyeon looked back at the training hall.
My body was tired, but there was still work to be done.
“Escort Yang.”
“yes.”
The footprints of two people stretched out dizzyingly.
Dozens of bamboo raincoats scattered everywhere.
The iron blade had already been recovered by Yang Howie.
“Let’s clean up the scene first.”
“All right. “What about that phrase?”
Dang Bi-hyeon raised the corner of his mouth in response to Guard Yang’s question.
“Of course I have to leave it behind.”
* * *
Chae Se-yeon climbed the stairs.
I gave the stereotypical smile to the gatekeeper who greeted me and entered the Murim Alliance.
It came back exactly twenty-six days later.
It would have been okay to come after resting at the mansion where Chae Hyeon-hwa and I lived together, but Chae Se-yeon thought reporting was a priority.
‘There was no particular harvest.’
Chae Se-yeon walked towards the front of the Chusaldae.
While the Mo Yong family welcomed her and expressed Mo Yong Qiao’s unfairness, the Zhuge family did not say anything.
Jegal Se-yeon, who could not have been unaware of Chae Se-yeon’s purpose, was fully aware of her situation, which made it impossible for him to ask her questions openly.
He consistently asked why he came here to ask questions about what happened in the Murim League.
Chae Se-yeon ended up drinking a lot of tea.
That was when she sighed and was about to enter the main hall of the Chussaldae.
“Stop.”
“You cannot go in.”
Two men stopped her.
Chae Se-yeon recognized that they belonged to the Hyeonmudan through the color of their military uniforms.
However, the entrance to Chusaldae’s pavilion is clearly visible from the pharmacy opposite, so guards are not usually stationed there to save manpower.
In fact, Chae Se-yeon was meeting the young men in front of her for the first time.
“Can’t you see my military uniform? “This is Chae Se-yeon, the commander of the Chusaldae.”
“ah… . “Can you check the defeat?”
Chae Se-yeon took out the badge from her pocket and handed it to her.
Confirming that both Meng Pae and her position were real, Jang Jeong returned the pavilion with an awkward smile.
The road was open.
“sorry. “Because it’s a procedure.”
“It’s okay, just answer the questions. “Why are they controlling access out of nowhere?”
“Oh, I guess you haven’t heard yet. Last night… .”
“for a moment.”
A handsome man appeared from inside the pavilion, interrupting the man’s explanation.
It was Nagyeol, the general of the Murim League.
“Commander Chae, have you just returned from deployment?”
“yes.”
“Please come in. “I will tell you in detail.”
Nagyeol smiled and gestured, then turned his back.
Chae Se-yeon passed through the doorway and entered the palace, frowning.
There was a faint, but faint, smell of blood.
I turned my body around and looked around, but the width of the Chussaldae was the same as usual.
“There is good news and there is bad news. “What do you want to hear first?”
Chae Se-yeon looked at Na-gyeol’s back with a frown.
“yes?”
“If you can’t decide, I’ll tell you the bad news first.”
Come here.
Nagyeol motioned behind him and turned the corner.
Chae Se-yeon slowly followed him.
For some reason, my steps felt heavy.
The entrance was the same as usual.
There’s just a new guard at the door.
The inside of the palace will also be like that.
As you turn the corner, you will see a training hall and office of a reasonable size as usual.
I turned my head, ignoring the smell of blood lingering in my nose.
At the same time, Nagyeol’s voice was heard.
“There was an intruder last night. It seems like this was planned from the beginning. “It’s probably Dang Bi-hyeon, right?”
Chae Se-yeon’s steps suddenly stopped.
With the smell of blood becoming more intense, the scene of the training ground was revealed, which was completely opposite to her imagination.
“That coffin… ?”
“The scene has been preserved as much as possible, but even so, we can’t just leave the deceased alone.”
Footprints of four or five people stretched out dizzyingly.
Hundreds of memorizations scattered everywhere.
The phrase ‘Dangmun Innocence’ drawn with a sword on the training ground.
Na-gyeol glanced at Chae Se-yeon’s endlessly trembling eyes and patted her shoulder.
Then he stuck the wedge with his tongue.
“Who would have thought that he would target Chae Hyeon-hwa, the Great Lord?”
Chae Se-yeon’s chest heaved rapidly.
As she stumbled with heavy breathing, Nagyeol supported her.
He was smiling broadly as if it was no big deal.
“There’s a reason why I told you the bad news first.”
“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
“Doesn’t this naturally lead to good news? Think about it carefully. Don’t you know? “Can’t you feel it?”
“Gun, soldier. I, my breath, my breath… … .”
My legs lost strength and I slipped.
My vision became blurred.
As consciousness gradually faded, a word from Na-gyeol reached Chae Se-yeon’s ears.
“I sincerely congratulate you on becoming Lord Chusal!”
* * *
Hyperventilation due to psychological shock.
Chae Se-yeon, who fainted in the royal palace of Chusaldae, was immediately taken to the medicine hall.
It was around midnight when she woke up.
“Are you awake?”
“… “Hyuk.”
Chae Se-yeon turned her head towards Yoo Hyuk.
His face was full of worry.
“Do you know how surprised I was when I heard that the head lord passed away and the vice lord collapsed?”
Chae Se-yeon just looked at Yoo Hyuk without responding.
Yuhyuk closed his mouth once and sighed.
We stayed silent together as if we understood her feelings.
The footsteps of lawmakers passing by outside were unusually loud.
After a while, Yoo Hyuk asked.
“What should I do.”
Chae Se-yeon closed her eyes.
No matter how difficult or sad things may be, you must control your emotions.
It was one of the teachings left by Chae Hyun-hwa.
When she opened her eyes again, Yoo Hyuk had placed a sword next to the bed.
I grabbed the sheath of the sword and raised my upper body.
“We are investigating the scene. “I’ll be there soon.”
“All right.”
Yoo Hyuk bowed his head and left the room.
He closed the door and walked towards the main hall of the Chusaldae.
Yoo Hyeok, or rather Dang Bihyeon, showed fierce defeat to the men guarding the entrance.
‘Chae Hyun-hwa is already dead, so this is just a show.’
It looked like they were fixing the barn after losing the cow.
Dang Bi-hyeon leisurely entered the scene of his condemnation.
“hmm… ?”
The eyebrows suddenly narrowed.
It was completely different from the scene he had last pictured in his mind.
“Ah, did you come instead of Chae Daeju?”
Na Gyeol, the leader of the Murim Alliance, is already referring to Chae Se-yeon as the Great Lord.
As I returned the greeting to him, I looked at the scene out of the corner of my eye.
Clearly, the footprints that were all erased actually increased.
The one-on-one life-and-death situation between Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Hyeon-hwa had suddenly turned into an attack on Chae Hyun-hwa by several people.
It was a bonus that there were hundreds of unused iron shrines lying around as if they were showing off.
Looking at it from the perspective of the person who knew the whole story, it was so artificial that I couldn’t even laugh out loud.
“It seems like Daeju Chae was very shocked.”
“You just woke up.”
“is it?”
So, Na-gyeol looked at Dang Bi-hyeon for a moment with an expression asking what to do.
He waved his hand toward the scene.
“Except for the body, it has been preserved, so you can investigate on your own.”
“yes.”
Na-gyeol walked down the road where Dang Bi-hyeon came and sighed.
I turned my body and made eye contact with Tang Feixian.
“There is good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?”
“Please give me the good news first.”
“Sure.”
Nagyeol continued.
“While Daeju Chae was unconscious, a letter arrived, saying that the extermination team members would return soon.”
“I will forward it to the High Lord.”
Although he pretended not to care on the outside, Dang Bi-hyeon’s mind became complicated.
The extermination team members who remained in Sacheon to conduct the investigation.
What does it mean that they are returning to the Murim Alliance?
Is there something meaningful to be gained?
“And the bad news.”
“Please speak.”
“I heard that a person named Chae Yeongjun from Cheonradan was absent from work today without any reason. “He sent someone now, and he’s probably dead.”
Although he spoke as if he didn’t know, it seemed like Na-gyeol was fully aware of who Chae Young-jun was.
That he is a servant of the Ministry of Cheonglimbu.
Rather than an organization called Cheonglimbu, it is also a member of the Sujok that follows Chae Hyun-hwa, who belongs to it.
Dang Bi-hyeon replied that he would also deliver that.
“Then I guess I’ll just go. Good luck.”
Nagyeol left the palace without any regrets.
Dang Bi-hyeon is left alone at the scene.
I slowly looked around the training hall again.
“So, did you even manipulate it this time? .”
We took pains to erase all traces, but new distorted evidence filled the scene.
Everything is fake except for the text innocent.
These were things that the Cheonglimbu filled in as they pleased.
I felt very bad, as if I had provided clean drawing paper for the Cheonglimbu.
‘Let’s see what the intention was for making the scene like this.’
I sat down in front of the office and began to take a closer look.
First, memorize a lot of numbers.
Most of them were closer to the shape of daggers than those that were thin and small like fine needles.
Although it was the same dagger, its shape was slightly different, and it had the same shape as the bamboo sword used by Dang Bi-hyeon.
That’s not what’s important.
It is important to note that other types of daggers also exist.
‘It is common for each person to use only one type of memorization.’
If you want to advertise that it is the work of Tang Feixian, all you have to do is place a memorabilia in the shape of a bamboo monument.
But the Cheonglimbu did not do that.
Footprints were made to look like multiple people had attacked, and various types of monuments were displayed.
“hmm.”
Dang Bi-hyeon stroked his chin.
He quickly figured out Cheonglimbu’s intentions.
‘Are you trying to claim that there is a force helping me?’
Dang Bi-hyeon leaned his back against the office pillar.
The coffin with Chae Hyeon-hwa’s body came into view along with the extremely dizzy gymnasium.
That coffin will most likely go to Chaehwawon.
I heard that this is usually the case with those who die while working for the Murim Alliance.
Dang Bi-hyeon suddenly imagined what the scenery of Chaehwawon would be like.
“… … .”
Orphanage for orphans.
A funeral home responsible for the afterlife of those who grew up in the orphanage.
Wouldn’t the two combined create a heterogeneous appearance?
What is certain is that the smell of incense will never go away.
“Uh, Sohyeop?”
One of the men guarding the entrance approached Dang Feixian.
Tang Feixian turned his head.
“What happened?”
“They say Chae Young-jun’s body was just found.”
“Ah, please guide me.”
