The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 43
Only Krnovel
Tuk. Tuk. Tuk.
The warriors only realized it after Samaan stopped patting them.
The head of the family died.
To them, he is a lord, but to Samaan, he is a father.
The warriors saw Sima An.
She slowly lowered her hand covering her eyes.
An expression that appears peaceful.
But everyone knew that could never happen.
“The achievement of preventing even a single person in black from escaping is significant.”
Samaan took the lead.
“But there’s no guarantee that the guy who sent them won’t attack again.”
“… … .”
“Since we haven’t heard from Brother Hu, I will take over as the temporary head of the family.”
Sima An was so calm that he raised his cold face and glanced at the warriors.
“Are you dissatisfied? Probably not. Commander-in-Chief.”
A skinny middle-aged man came forward, moistening his lips with his tongue.
“yes.”
“I will go to Apostolic Training right away. “Do your best to repair the damage while I’m away.”
“My name.”
Sima An lowered his head.
A shadow fell on her face as she looked down at the demonic magic with her eyes closed.
“The funeral will be held informally today.”
* * *
Sima Clan’s grave.
Samaan, with his hands neatly folded, looked at a tomb.
It was a tomb located right next to the place where the Four Horsemen were buried.
The sound of stepping on grass was heard from next to me.
It was Chae Se-yeon.
“this person is… .”
“I’m mom.”
Chae Se-yeon bowed her head towards the tomb in front of her, just as she did to the tomb of the Four Horsemen.
At that time, Samaan leaned his head on Chae Se-yeon’s shoulder.
And then he smiled weakly.
“Shin Sojer.”
“yes.”
“Show me your face.”
“… yes?”
“just joke.”
Samaan instead linked arms with Chae Se-yeon.
Then, in silence for a while, we stared at the graves of the couple buried side by side.
It was around the time when Chae Se-yeon touched her umbrella as water droplets suddenly hit the bamboo rips.
“Shin Soje, I have a favor to ask.”
“yes.”
“I can’t bring many samurai with me because I have to fight back when they attack Sega again.”
Samaan looked back at the translucent swell.
Chae Se-yeon turned his head and met her gaze.
“Please come with me. “We need the strength of the river small cooperatives.”
“I will.”
“It could be dangerous, can I make a decision so quickly?”
“Because I am the master.”
“It’s fun. “It’s not a situation to laugh about.”
Fighting.
Starting with an unusually loud sound, it started to rain steadily.
Chae Se-yeon opened an umbrella and shared it with Samaan.
Sama An began to stare at the tomb again.
Chae Se-yeon, unable to see her, opened her mouth.
“It’s okay to cry.”
“yes? I’m fine.”
“I know. It means that if you want to cry, you can cry as much as you want. This place… .”
Chae Se-yeon waved her hand behind her.
It was a signal to Dang Bi-hyeon to stay back.
Dang Bi-hyeon followed her wishes and followed the steps.
Chae Se-yeon’s words were the last to be heard.
“Because we are the only ones.”
Simase’s manor and family temple were so close that even a leisurely walk would take less than a day’s journey.
Moreover, Chae Se-yeon herself told Dang Bi-hyeon to step down, so if an emergency arises, she will use martial arts without hesitation.
Tang Feixian, who had covered the way he came in an instant, entered Simaseji Manor.
They were the gatekeepers who inspected Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon yesterday when they came in as empty guests.
It seems that he was lucky to have survived even after going through such a large-scale blood battle.
After bowing in silence, a gatekeeper called out to Dang Bi-hyeon, who was about to pass by.
“I am Kanghyuk Sohyeop.”
“Is there a problem?”
“thank you.”
Then he bowed down to express his gratitude.
Dang Bi-hyeon waved his hand like everyone else did.
“It wasn’t that big of a deal.”
“It’s not a big deal. “We were able to win because the head of the family was alive until the end of the battle, and that was entirely thanks to the Sohyeop.”
Other gatekeepers also helped.
“you’re right. “I’m glad it stopped with this much damage.”
“I understand, so please leave it at that. “It’s burdensome.”
“Okay, then… .”
Now Dang Feixian was actually about to go inside, but the gatekeeper caught him once again.
This time the story was a little more productive than before.
“Oh, that’s right, Sohyeop.”
“yes.”
“The Commander-in-Chief told me to tell him, but he said he wouldn’t say anything until Sohyeop came.”
I won’t say a word until Dang Fei-hyeon comes.
In other words, it meant that when Dang Bi-hyeon came, he would reveal what he knew.
Dang Bi-hyeon asked straight away.
“Where are you?”
* * *
The captain was in the middle of the training ground with rain pouring down.
I was tied to a chair and couldn’t avoid the rain, which soaked my black clothes.
Sima Se painfully understood people’s treatment of him.
He is no different from the main culprit who killed the head of the family.
The prison must have seemed so cozy and warm to keep a guy like that in there.
Dang Bi-hyeon lowered his head and looked at the motionless captain for a moment.
His condition looked bad as the rain and wind lowered his body temperature.
Although I understand the treatment, I was against letting him die without getting any information.
The captain dragged the tied chair to a nearby roof.
Then we rented a large furnace.
He put the torch hanging nearby into the brazier and placed it nearby to warm up the captain.
“Sigh, fuhe… !”
“aha.”
Even though I was under the roof, it was raining.
It was a minor mistake caused by the wind direction changing to the opposite direction.
Dang Bi-hyeon indifferently dragged the chair further inward.
The captain came to his senses and raised his head.
“Chu, it’s cold.”
“What’s your name?”
“Just a little more fire… .”
Dang Bi-hyeon took out the memory he had taken from the captain.
The effect was clear.
The captain’s breathing became heavier, and the speed of his speech also increased.
“eighteen!”
“what?”
“Eighteen, number eighteen! We are just numbers. “I don’t have a name.”
“… “Don’t talk about your numbers.”
Dang Bi-hyeon asked the following question to No. 18.
“What is the name of your organization?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know?”
“Ooh, we’re just playing chess. “I’m an exception because I’m the captain, but the other kids even took poison.”
It is said that there is a poison that will cause internal organs to melt if you do not take a neutralizer regularly.
Because of that, no one can rebel against the organization.
If a captain who did not take poison goes against his will, a person called a ‘manager’ will personally take the stand and execute him.
“Is the manager the head of the organization?”
“Probably not.”
“… … .”
“I told you. We’re just talking chess… .”
Facing Tang Feixian’s gaze like the cold snow of the north wind, No. 18 squeezed out as much information as possible.
“The manager always said that there was someone else behind him. “I said, ‘Master.’”
“also.”
“Is it a girl. The voice is very low and has a scratching sound. “You can tell right away when you hear it.”
“also.”
“I don’t know your face. “We take turns wearing different masks.”
By diversifying his questions, Dang Bi-hyeon gradually drew a detailed picture of the identity of this organization.
“Do you think people change every time they wear a mask?”
“That’s not right. “He is definitely one person.”
“Aside from you, how many other captains are there?”
“First of all, three people. There might be more than that.”
“What is the purpose of the organization?”
“To inflict maximum damage by striking the three major powers of Sapa at the same time. “I don’t know the next step.”
“ha… .”
“Why, why are you sighing? “Uneasy.”
Dang Bi-hyeon leaned against the pillar in front of the brazier and wiped the corners of his mouth.
A rough picture unfolded in my mind.
‘A clash between the three major factions, including the Apostolic Alliance, and an emerging force that has secretly formed an alliance?’
I vaguely remember it.
In my past life, there was a time when the three most influential figures in Sapa suffered near annihilation and there was tension throughout Sapa.
But that was right before Dang Bi-hyeon died.
Chae Se-yeon’s pursuit was so persistent that at the end of her life, she had no time to worry about anything else because she was so busy taking care of herself.
For whatever reason, this unprecedented event in Sapa’s history was brought forward by seven years.
I got caught up in an unexpected situation.
This force seemed not even aware of the existence of the Cheonglimbu.
The ambition to conquer the area south of the Yangtze River was evident.
Since Chae Se-yeon promised to accompany Sima An, Dang Fei-hyeon and his party have to go on a boat with Sa Do-ryeon.
‘Honestly, for me, it would be better if the Sapa were overthrown and the influence of the Cheonglimbu disappeared.’
However, Tang Fei-hyeon’s will does not allow him to help the unidentified dark side.
He thought it was no different in essence from working for the Blue House.
The best thing to do is to stay out of this fight.
I want to spend time in a quiet and safe place and then go back.
‘Not possible.’
Dang Bi-hyeon clicked his tongue and grabbed a chair.
No. 18, feeling uneasy for some reason, stuttered.
“Well, what is it? “Weren’t we being interrogated?”
“You’ll hear the rest tomorrow.”
“No, I can tell you anything from now until tomorrow!”
It would be better to listen to Chae Se-yeon together.
Dang Bi-hyeon dragged the 18-year-old back to the middle of the training hall.
Number Eighteen shouted.
“I’m so cold I’m dying!”
“It’s summer.”
Dang Bi-hyeon left the training hall without even looking back.
It was time to slowly go to the main gate and greet Chae Se-yeon and Sama-an.
* * *
next day.
Two carriages left the manor.
Samaan is in the carriage behind.
Chae Se-yeon rode in the carriage ahead.
With a small number of warriors surrounding it on horseback, the carriage set off toward Sadyoryeon.
Dang Bi-hyeon played the role of a coachman pulling Chae Se-yeon’s carriage.
“Recite exactly what you said yesterday.”
“Did you forget?”
Sigh!
The Eighteenth, whose foot was stepped on, let out a silent cry.
Moving around while chained was extremely annoying.
The carriage seats were already narrow.
Only when Dang Fei-hyeon grabbed the head of the Eighteen Tigers with one hand did the struggle stop.
No. 18’s testimony flowed into Chae Se-yeon’s ears.
Not only that, but his words also reached the warriors escorting the carriage next to him.
Naturally, Sima An was also able to hear the words of the Eighteenth Lord.
After yesterday’s testimony, it was time for new questions.
“What about a hiding place or gathering place?”
“doesn’t exist. “The manager or number 16 comes first.”
As the uphill road appeared, Dang Bi-hyeon pulled the reins appropriately.
A new clue has emerged.
“No. 16?”
“We’re all from Goa, right? So, there are quite a few people who believe in managers and organizations, and No. 16 is one of them.”
He must have opened his mouth properly, and what he said was Cheongsanyusu No. 18.
“He’s so talented that he quickly made it to the level of a manager.”
“Are you at the same level as the manager?”
“huh. “He said he met the owner who the manager always praised.”
“Have you heard anything else?”
“Because he’s not an idiot. “I don’t just blurt out important information.”
Dang Bi-hyeon compiled the information.
This unidentified organization is targeting the three most powerful figures in Safa.
It is assumed that there is a person called the owner as the head of the organization.
Below him are two executives, a manager and number 16.
The 18th rank is a captain below an officer, and there are at least three other captains.
The bottom is full of miscellaneous people who work under the captain.
The more I listen to it, the more similarities it has with Cheonglimbu.
As Dang Bi-hyeon was driving the carriage, contemplating the next question, Chae Se-yeon’s voice came from inside.
“Hyuk.”
“Yes, miss.”
“What is his name?”
“They are given numbers instead of names. The interest rate is eighteen.”
After a while, Chae Se-yeon made an unexpected suggestion.
“Give him a name.”
“Do you mean your name?”
“It seems like they are cooperating with us because they have animosity towards the organization, so that means they will be with us in the future.”
Dang Fei-hyeon cast his gaze towards the eighteenth tiger.
He was nodding furiously.
