The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 40



Only Krnovel

“Ah, show the slave to God Sojeo.”

“I don’t like the basement smell.”

“hurry.”

Sama An stood up while glaring at the Four Horsemen.

At that time, Chae Se-yeon looked back at Dang Bi-hyeon and opened her mouth.

“I will stay and chat with the matriarch some more. “Let’s go with my self-defense team.”

“yes?”

“actually… .”

In fact, he explained that he just followed along in droves, and that the person in charge of actually handling the matter was this self-defense committee.

Tang Feixian was not embarrassed and nodded.

I had a conversation with Chae Se-yeon beforehand.

‘But, should I really entrust my youngest daughter, who has stayed at home all her life, to represent me in large-scale negotiations?’

‘It would be more natural for practitioners to be separate.’

‘huh.’

‘Then let me introduce myself as a practitioner. ‘I’ll take care of the rest.’

“Well, I guess so.”

The Four Horsemen agreed.

He looked at Tang Feixian.

“Sohyeop, the name is…” ?”

Dang Bi-hyeon uttered the sentence he had been thinking about.

I was thinking of doing it right instead of just lying.

“My name is Kanghyuk. “I don’t have much of a position, but I am learning many things under the owner of the top.”

It was an introduction with plenty of room for interpretation in any direction.

The Four Horsemen fell deeply into Tang Feixian’s trap without any time to suspect.

“Wow, I don’t know a young man who will do great things in the future.”

“It’s just fiddling around with money here and there.”

“If you touch a lot of money, it’s a big deal. is not it?”

Samaha himself, who asked the question, burst into laughter.

Dang Fei-hyeon followed him and laughed.

“you’re right.”

* * *

The size of Samasege’s ‘basement’ far exceeded expectations.

As soon as he entered, Tang Feixian realized that this was essentially a prison.

Sama An, covering his nose with his hand, walked ahead and explained in a nasally voice.

“There are still quite a few voices saying that slaves in the West are insecure. So, we first brought him into the family as an example.”

The barred door was not particularly locked.

However, the expressions on the faces of the people inside were not very bright.

It was natural that the entrance to the basement was guarded by an armed man.

“We only use it for chores, but its usefulness is endless.”

“Was there any resistance or escape attempts?”

Dang Bi-hyeon glanced at the slaves and asked.

Samaan quickly answered.

“Most people comply. “There are many people who were slaves from the West to begin with, and even if that wasn’t the case, it is an unfamiliar central plain.”

“I mean most… .”

“It can’t be there.”

Jerk.

Samaan stopped in front of the only locked barred door in the basement.

A woman was lying dead, her wrists tied with rope.

But Dang Bi-hyeon saw it clearly.

The woman was watching Sima An and Tang Feixian with narrowed eyes behind her shaggy hair.

Even though it looked like a captured prey, it looked like a wild animal waiting for its moment with bated breath.

Samaan, who had not noticed, spoke up.

“Everyone has pale skin, but this one has bronze skin, right? According to the merchant at the West Station, she is the daughter of a general from a ruined country.”

“You tried to escape.”

“Whenever I get the chance.”

“What is your name?”

Sima An looked back at Tang Feixian.

And instead of giving the name right away, he started talking about something more fundamental.

“When slaves come in, the first thing we teach them is to give up their names. And then we give it a new one.”

“… … .”

“For those who listen well, their original names are transliterated in the Jungwon style, and if they cause trouble, they are given new names.”

Tang Feixian looked back at Sima An.

I felt quite uncomfortable.

Samaan from before and Samaan now, who had an immature argument with their father and looked up to Chae Se-yeon.

The two are clearly the same person.

However, right now she was just explaining the family’s slave business.

This may be the true essence of Sapa.

Dang Bi-hyeon slowly opened his lips.

“I guess this woman is the latter.”

“that’s right. “You can call me Neungyong.”

“Then the original name was…” .”

“Now that I have received a new name, there is no such thing as an original name anymore. “He will be effective from now on.”

“… … .”

“anyway.”

Samaan began to explain another part and took a step forward.

Dang Bi-hyeon, who followed her, saw Neung Yong for the last time.

Only then did Neungyong seem to realize that his gaze had been caught from the beginning.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Neungyong quickly lowered his gaze and bit his lower lip.

Dang Bi-hyeon saw through the fact that although she was third-rate, she was still a warrior.

‘Dissatisfaction with one’s own situation is sky-high.’

There may be room to use it.

Dang Bi-hyeon followed Sima An deeper underground, keeping the existence of Neung Yong engraved in his mind.

* * *

A guest room provided by Samasega.

Chae Se-yeon, who took off her veil, condensed Dang Bi-hyeon’s report.

“When merchants from the western region bring slaves to the Apostolic Alliance, they purchase them and sell them at auction?”

“yes.”

“ha. People make people… .”

“What does it matter if it makes money? “I don’t think there will be any sense of guilt since I happen to be a person of color with a completely different appearance.”

Dang Bi-hyeon still looked at Chae Se-yeon.

Chae Se-yeon’s shadow swayed with the candlelight.

After saying nothing for a while, she eventually asked about the performance.

“What is that bronze-skinned man talking about?”

Dang Bi-hyeon opened his mouth.

Chae Se-yeon, with her arms folded, listened intently.

I lowered my voice for fear that the conversation would leak out.

Mildam ended only when two o’clock had passed after the sun had set.

Finally, after congratulating himself on successfully entering the Sima family, Tang Feixian stood up.

As I was about to open the door and go out, something occurred to me and I turned around.

“By the way, I missed this.”

“What?”

Dang Bi-hyeon asked Shinsin.

“You must never use martial arts.”

“… “Can’t we just invite a teacher and say we trained?”

“Originally, I would have considered it. But isn’t there Song Joo-hwan?”

No matter how much you dress in black and cover your face with a mask, there are clues that cannot be hidden.

Dang Bi-hyeon recalled the last battle.

Song Joo-hwan would have observed and figured out all the parts that the two could not hide due to the circumstances.

Gender, age group, martial arts skills.

If Chae Se-yeon reunites with Song Joo-hwan, she must not lift her veil carelessly.

He must have even remembered the color of her eyes.

“The moment Song Joo-hwan starts to doubt, our chances of survival drop exponentially. and… .”

Dang Bi-hyeon swallowed his words, but Chae Se-yeon was able to guess what he was trying to say.

A moment of confidence beyond doubt.

Chae Se-yeon will experience how martial artists are treated.

“But if a situation arises where my life is at risk, there is nothing I can do.”

“We will make sure that doesn’t happen.”

“… … .”

“Please believe me.”

Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon’s gazes became intertwined in the air.

“While you are south of the Yangtze River, please trust me and entrust your life to me.”

She is not a cleaner.

There is no such thing as throwing something away just because it becomes a burden.

It was what I promised with Namgung Seobaek.

It was also a promise that I swore to myself.

Chae Se-yeon raised the corners of her mouth as if she couldn’t do anything.

“okay. “If I can’t trust you for defeating 40 men, then who can I trust?”

Although it was not a head-to-head match where each person was defeated one by one, victory was achieved under the same rules.

Chae Se-yeon nodded.

“You’re telling me to endure even if an unexpected situation where I feel like I’m really going to die occurs?”

“yes.”

“Don’t be late.”

“I won’t be late at all, so just go to sleep.”

“okay. “You go to sleep now.”

“I will.”

widely.

Dang Bi-hyeon came out after closing the door and stood under the eaves and next to the pillar.

Shoot ahhh.

The night air and raindrops combined to create a chilly wind.

Dang Bi-hyeon stayed outside with the rain falling without moving a single inch.

He seemed to be faithful to his duty as a member of the self-defense committee to guard Chae Se-yeon’s room.

In reality, I was practicing various things by moving my inner energy.

‘He has a knack for quick footwork.’

There was a family method that I learned when I was young.

We used it as a basic framework and added practical experience.

As a result, Dang Bi-hyeon came to possess a method that, if done well, could pierce even Cheonnajimang.

The speed is sufficient.

That was not the problem Dangbi-hyeon was currently facing.

‘If you want to hold still… .’

I was used to building strength in my lower body to run faster.

However, he was unskilled in using internal energy to maintain the center of gravity in the upright posture.

Looking at it objectively, the pinnacle was not a low position at all, but it was still full of loopholes.

Now we have to graduate from the days when we relied only on instinct.

Dang Bi-hyeon began to erase his thoughts.

In a way, I moved my inner strength for the opposite purpose of the footwork that I had consistently used throughout my life.

Cheongeunchu.

Or even more than that.

If the steps were to become infinitely lighter, these were techniques to become infinitely heavier.

I closed my eyes.

“Use…” .”

Shoot ──

The intangible energy that had been concentrated in my lower abdomen stirred.

I began to guide the reality of vivid sensations.

──

The sound of rain faded away.

‘If it is operated in the opposite direction to the Bobeop, it will not have the opposite effect.’

Qi doesn’t work that easily.

This meant that Tang Fei-hyeon’s journey to Cheon Geun-chu could be quite long.

Dang Bi-hyeon continued to use internal power.

Although he was not aware of it, he continued to exercise his skills throughout the three trials.

Time passed and the rain stopped.

The lower body, heated by the constant stimulation, was almost radiating heat.

It was only for a moment that my concentration, which was almost like selflessness, was broken.

Dang Fei-hyeon, sensing the presence of people, opened his eyes.

“… “Sama, the head of the family.”

“I’m sorry. “Did I interrupt you?”

“no. “I was about to quit because I wasn’t making any progress.”

Dang Fei-hyeon took a gun at him.

The Four Horsemen waved their hands and walked closer.

“Please be my companion for a while.”

“Thank you for the offer, but I have my own responsibilities.”

“My subordinates will take care of Shin Soje’s escort. “How is it?”

The warrior who had been waiting behind the Four Horsemen stepped in front of Tang Feixian and bowed his head.

I bowed my head and looked him up and down.

‘There is no way that the Four Magicians would have discovered our identities.’

We created an environment where the other side could not refuse.

So it would be better not to refuse.

Tang Feixian smiled slightly.

“great.”

Sima Ma and Tang Feixian walked around the interior of the manor at a leisurely pace.

It was rather comfortable because the Four Horsemen’s words didn’t stop.

Dang Feixian only had to give a short answer or reaction.

As we walked and chatted together until Insi, we reached the front gate of the manor.

Dang Feixian nodded and thought at the Four Horsemen’s words.

‘Not possible.’

Assuming a situation in which a magician is walking alone in the early morning, we assessed whether assassination would be possible.

The result is also unreasonable.

Even though it seemed like I was alone, I felt the presence of two escorts in the dark.

Dang Feixian opened his mouth, smelling a strange smell that tickled his nose.

“This is a continuation of what you said earlier. that is… .”

My mouth stopped.

My brows naturally furrowed.

Seeing that, the Four Demons were suspicious and asked.

“Kang So-hyeop, is there some problem?”

“I smell blood.”

“is it? Sohyeop has a good nose. “The kitchen is far from here.”

Dang Feixian left the Four Horsemen alone and walked without hesitation.

I grabbed the door with both hands and opened it.

Whoops, the smell of blood was strong.

The gatekeepers were murdered.

Tang Feixian turned his head.

The clues in my mind were spinning furiously and coming together as one.

“house owner!”

“What’s going on there?”

“Do you have an undercover escort?”

“I’ll wait until I go outside, but not now. “Isn’t this my manor?”

Two popular ones.

The number started to increase like a lie.

It’s not an undercover escort.

The Four Horsemen also seemed to have finally grasped the situation and raised their internal power.

Sreung!

Dang Bi-hyeon drew his sword.
