The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 33



Only Krnovel

Zhong Tianqi gritted his teeth.

It was so painful that I tried to kneel down, but the pain was aggravated by the fine needle stuck in my thigh.

The constant screaming was so harsh that I could taste the blood in my throat.

Be that as it may, Dang Feixian looked at Nangongseobaek.

“How is it?”

Namgung Seobaek looked like he had already prepared everything he wanted to say.

“When there is movement and stillness, you always choose movement.”

Rather than remaining static, always move around and play with your feet.

Sometimes it’s better to just wait.

“You just won slowly but surely. “Because the gap between you and Zhongtian is as wide as heaven and earth.”

“… … .”

“If you can cope without moving, it is much better not to move. “Unmanned weakness usually occurs when you take your feet off the floor.”

A mixture of advice and criticism came out of Namgung Seobaek’s mouth.

“Speaking of words, what would have happened if that guy had a precious item that prevented him from getting fatally injured several times?”

“… “The moment you thought the attack was successful, you would have been counterattacked.”

“okay. “It creates a useless disadvantage.”

Namgung Seobaek sighed once and added.

“What is more important than killing the enemy is not dying. “Refrain from gambling with your life.”

“All right.”

“I ended up nagging instead of teaching. “Think of it as the complaining of an old man who wants you to be safe.”

Tang Feixian shook his head.

It was hard to dismiss it as just complaining, but it pointed out exactly what Dang Bi-hyeon had missed.

“no. “It was helpful.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Wow!

Dang Bi-hyeon, who knocked out Jong Tian-gi, noticed Nangong Seo-baek.

“If you’ve said everything, go and do your job.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Whirling!

Namgung Seobaek disappeared with the sound of the hem of his clothes shaking.

Dang Bi-hyeon is left alone in a room with the smell of blood.

‘Where did they put the people they captured from the village?’

I ran down the hallway, remembering the structure of the wild plants that I had memorized on the way to my room.

* * *

Namgung Seobaek walked inside the living quarters.

The bandits saw the blood splattered on his clothes and rushed at him, each holding a blade.

The next few feet ran away.

Among the bandits, there was no one who could see Namgung Seobaek’s sword strike.

As the situation progressed strangely, the bandits no longer attacked Nangong Seobaek.

What is the way to survive?

Each person moved hurriedly according to their instincts.

Among them was a man who held a blade to the neck of a woman who was doing chores.

“If you come any closer, I will kill this woman!”

I made eye contact with the woman.

“You show very well why Noklim should be removed from the midfield.”

It seems like the bandits decided that taking hostages would increase their chances of survival.

That’s what hastened his death.

“Oh, don’t come!”

“You have violated the martial arts taboo.”

Moorim must remain as Moorim.

The martial arts people should not attract the imperial family and the common people to their entreaties.

The only rule established by our ancient ancestors.

On what basis could a bandit in front of me break that rule?

The afterimage of Nangong Seobaek laid the blade aside.

A bandit who witnessed this attempted to cut the woman’s throat shallowly.

Pee it!

“… “Kwaaaaaak!”

The pain came late.

The guy, with all four limbs divided into three parts and a total of twelve, fell sideways.

Namgung Seobaek, who confirmed the death of the man behind the woman, brushed off the blood from the sword.

“Have you been caught?”

“yes yes… .”

“Go and gather those who were also captured.”

Piyuung!

There was an arrow flying towards Namgung Seo-baek’s neck along with the sound of waves.

Up!

Namgung Seobaek snatched it up with his bare hands.

Then, he breathed strength into it and stepped on the footwork.

“Huh! “Monster, monster!”

The archer who was aiming for Namgung Seobaek from the watchtower built in the middle of the wooden fence was frightened and jumped out of the watchtower.

grasp!

I landed first on both legs and supported my body as I fell forward with my arms.

But I felt something strange.

Archer touched his chest with an unknown foreign body sensation.

“… uh?”

Clearly, the arrow he shot at Namgung Seobaek was lodged deep in his heart.

The moment a flash of light passes by.

The archer, unable to find a solution, closed his eyes.

dump.

“Don’t think I haven’t seen you.”

“… … .”

“Don’t even try to fight me.”

Namgung Seobaek turned around.

Doyeop, who entered the living quarters with the gatekeeper, cautiously opened the door.

“Who is Sohyeop?”

“I am not a person who can be called a small-scale person.”

Doyeop desperately shook his head.

No matter how young a warrior he is, it is customary to call him Daehyeop if he is the head of a sect.

‘How many people were young and the head of a sect who were much stronger than me?’

While Doyeop’s mind is a mess trying to guess Namgung Seobaek’s identity.

Phew!

Namgung Seobaek, who had taken care of the two gatekeepers with a single sting, looked down at Doyeop.

Doyeop, startled, hurriedly stepped back and pulled out his sword.

A cool wind blew for summer.

But cold sweat broke out on Doyeop’s forehead.

“Dae, Daehyeop. Are you here to subdue these wild creatures?”

“well.”

Nangong Seobaek recalled the speech technique that Dang Bihyeon showed to Jong Cheongi.

It may not be as elegant as Dang Fei-hyeon, but it was worth a try to get information.

I chose my words carefully and opened my mouth.

“Have you heard anything from Na-gyeol?”

“yes?”

“If you can’t understand what to say, there’s no reason to keep him alive.”

As dark black energy formed, Doyeop wet his dry lips with his tongue.

‘Are you an executive I don’t know…? !’

Memories of when I first encountered Nagyeol and the present scene.

In Doyeop’s mind, the two overlapped as one.

He said with a trembling voice.

“Well, I haven’t heard anything. So I’m just going to proceed as planned… .”

“The deal was cancelled. “Zhong Tianqi got greedy at the last minute.”

Contrary to his calm exterior, Namgung Seobaek was extremely anxious on the inside.

I’ve done some acting before, but I’ve never impersonated someone so blatantly.

At that point, I felt so lost that I thought about just quitting.

Good luck came to Namgung Seobaek.

“Then, are you going to follow the Shinun Sangdanju’s suggestion?”

“… “That’s right.”

Doyeop was a big catch.

Since he initially served as a representative of the Cheonglimbu executive, the range of information he possessed was wide.

Namgung Seobaek pulled his brain as hard as he could to get Doyeop to confess something.

“You will also be deployed. “You know everything, right?”

“I know.”

“Recite it yourself.”

Without any doubts, Do-yeop talked about what Shinun Sangdanju had proposed.

“Chaehwawon children are sold under the intermediary of Shinon Sangdan.”

“… … .”

“I know that our main customers are the imperial family, which is always short of workers, and the clans and families that are friendly to us.”

Doyeop added with a smile as if trying to lighten the mood further.

“Of course, it will only be in the form of receiving resources.”

“resource?”

“We will entice them as much as necessary with official checks, such as promises of high salaries. ha ha ha.”

Namgung Seobaek was too shocked to say anything.

The brutality of the Cheonglimbu was beyond imagination.

A rough outline was visible.

People from the clan or the imperial family who need help are dispatched to Chaehwawon.

He promises good treatment to the children and urges them to volunteer, saying they can be trusted at the Chaewon facility.

It is none of the Cheonglimbu’s business what kind of treatment the children who volunteered receive after they leave Chahwawon.

If you receive kickbacks from the place where the children were taken, that’s it.

“ha.”

Doyeop flinched at Namgung Seobaek’s deep sigh.

“Even if I got it wrong… ?”

“I really can’t do this anymore.”

“yes?”

“How on earth is he so good at it?”

Namgung Seo-baek was once again impressed by Tang Bi-hyeon’s impeccable skin.

Then he struck Doyeop, who was finally beginning to understand the situation, with the broad side of the sword.

Tuquaaaaang—!!

Doyeop’s new model, which broke the wooden fence and flew away, crashed into a tree.

With one side shattered into pieces, the fence began to collapse step by step.

“Ugh.”

I was more exhausted from the acting than from the fight.

Namgung Seobaek shook his head and headed towards the place where Doyeop fainted.

* * *

Chae Se-yeon was shocked.

“Doyeop colluded with a bandit from Nokrim?”

“That’s right. Since both Chaeju, Jong Cheon-gi, and Do-yeop were captured alive, we can cross-verify them.”

Namgung Seobaek told Chae Se-yeon all the information he had found out.

However, parts related to the Cheonglimbu were excluded.

Dang Bi-hyeon was able to figure out what happened just by hearing part of the story.

“First, we have to take the villagers and bring in the crew from the village.”

“Let’s go.” In the meantime, Yoo Hyuk and I will watch over the prisoners.”

“please.”

Chae Se-yeon bowed her head and turned around.

At that time, Namgung Seobaek called her.

“Oh, by the way, Daeju Chae.”

“yes.”

“I wasn’t here. “Sanchae was subjugated by Vice-Ju Chae and Vice-Ju Yu.”

He explained that he followed because he wanted to avoid a meeting held among elders.

That’s how I got a promise from Chae Se-yeon that I would keep quiet about what happened today.

“That’s right. Even if someone asks you secretly, you must never say anything!”

“Oh, I understand. I have to go now… .”

No, it was closer to an oath.

Dang Bi-hyeon stared at the back of Chae Se-yeon as she led the villagers down the mountain.

“Are you worried that it will be discovered that you know about the existence of the Cheonglimbu?”

“okay.”

Namgung Seobaek interrogated Doyeop, pretending to be an official of the Cheonglimbu.

However, Do-yeop does not know the identity of Namgung Seo-baek.

So there is no problem up to this point.

However, if Chae Se-yeon leaks to someone, ‘Bingjeonggeomje was with me at that time.’

“They will try to kill me somehow.”

“You’re in a lot of trouble, senior. “He is an expert in the police department.”

“Dang Bi-hyeon. Hyun-kyung dies too.”

Namgung Seobaek backed away.

“You die of old age, you die from poison, you die from being stabbed, you die from being beaten to death. “It’s no different from other people.”

Is it because we had a dark conversation?

As the sun was slowly setting, silence fell over the blood-covered mountain village.

Suddenly, Namgung Seobaek asked a question.

“What do you think of Chae Se-yeon?”

“I don’t have any sympathy whatsoever. Stop messing with it.”

“I’m asking this as your helper.”

Namgung Seobaek trudged along and sat down on the remains of the collapsed watchtower.

Tang Feixian’s eyes followed him.

“What do you mean, senior?”

“Are you going to kill me?”

Dang Bi-hyeon’s lips softened slightly.

It took some time for the answer to come out.

“It’s a bit scary, but overall, he’s naive and trusts me.”

“That means there’s no need to kill him right now.”

“yes.”

“Then what about later?”

Dang Bi-hyeon’s expression hardened.

A rebuttal came out.

“What is mine?”

“Just as innate Qi is not infinite even if one reaches the level of Xuan Jing, secrets cannot last forever.”

Namgung Seobaek conveyed his true feelings.

“You believe that Chae Se-yeon is not a Cheonglimbu.”

“I’m sure.”

“If Chae Se-yeon discovers your identity and seeks ‘personal revenge’ unrelated to the Cheonglimbu, how will you respond?”

There was a slight glow in Nangong Seobaek’s eyes.

“Are you going to kill me?”

Tang Feixian frowned.

In fact, killing him was the quickest and most convenient way.

However, he was determined to punish only the Cheonglimbu.

However, they also had families, and interpersonal relationships that were as close as family.

As the punishment continues, resentment piles up on Tang Bi-hyeon’s shoulders.

“Someday, when you face that grudge, do you plan to kill it because it gets in the way of your future?”

“no. “I promise that won’t happen.”

Namgung Seo-baek smiled bitterly after hearing Dang Bi-hyeon’s answer.

“Don’t break that promise.”
