The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 47
Only Krnovel
The guide to the underground was taken by the martial arts officer Do-gyeong.
“Let’s take a look at the gladiatorial arena first.”
“… “A gladiatorial arena?”
Chae Se-yeon, who was now hiding her murderous intent well, tilted her head.
Samaan took her hand and led her.
“Slave auctions only make it a gloomy place. “Then it would be difficult.”
At the end of the passage was a large, high-ceilinged cavity.
All of the rough exterior was shaved off to reveal a sophisticated interior.
It felt like a waste to use it as a place to buy and sell slaves.
A non-stage was set up in the center of the common area.
“I know that fighting makes even non-Murim people’s blood boil.”
“It’s impossible for slaves to fight among themselves over there… .”
“You saw it correctly.”
Chae Se-yeon, who was about to say, “I don’t mean to start a fight,” kept her mouth shut.
At that time, Dang Bi-hyeon joined the conversation.
“Are there no safety measures for the audience?”
“I plan to call in a technician to install the barbed wire around the time we start the business. Of course, we deploy unmanned islands just in case.”
“I guess that’s enough.”
Chae Se-yeon looked back at Dang Bi-hyeon.
When I see him calmly blending into the world of society like this, I feel a strange sense of discomfort.
Are you as shameless as a snake-snake and are you suited to acting?
Or is that what it looks like right now?
Chae Se-yeon dismissed her sense of discomfort as a delusion and shook her head.
Dang Bi-hyeon was having a conversation with Do-kyung.
“Gladiator fights and slave auctions. “It would be a bit disappointing if people came and only had two things to enjoy.”
“Haha, how can that be possible?”
Do-kyung explained in detail, tapping the other palm with his index finger.
“As the space is huge and has many rooms, it will include all types of entertainment. Gambling, general auctions, drinking and dancing… .”
“is it so?”
“yes. In the case of the auction, we have already secured valuable items for the first round.”
“It’s fun. “Can I take a look?”
Dang Bi-hyeon took advantage of the interlude to go see the treasures and asked a question.
“Are you the manager of this auction house?”
“You can say that. “We eat, sleep, and do everything here.”
Dang Fei-hyeon naturally became close to Do-kyung and looked into the inside of the joint.
Chae Se-yeon also looked at every corner.
Do-kyung spends most of his work here and also sleeps here.
In that case, there was a strong possibility that he would be killed here.
Things will become easier if you understand the structure of this place thoroughly.
“Let’s go in.”
The room that Do-kyung showed the group to was dark.
It was the place that most felt like it was underground, with minimal light.
“I’m a little sleepy. “The head of the province takes care of the rest of the information.”
“Yes, miss.”
Samaan left the basement with a yawn.
Only Do-kyung, Chae Se-yeon, and Dang Bi-hyeon remain.
A room so dark that it’s hard to detect a surprise attack, and a basement where no one is likely to come.
Do-kyung excitedly began introducing items without even realizing what kind of crisis he was in.
He even showed his back to Chae Se-yeon and Dang Bi-hyeon.
Chae Se-yeon lifted her veil and looked at Dang Bi-hyeon.
Dang Bi-hyeon shook his head.
‘Not yet.’
Although it was evening, the fact that everyone was awake was an obstacle.
Do-kyung is the person in charge of the slave auction house.
It is by no means a low position.
There was no guarantee that he wouldn’t have a pre-scheduled appointment or work that needed to be done.
If they killed him right away, the only suspects would be Dang Bi-hyeon and his group.
“If you look at this next to you… What’s wrong?”
“no. “Keep talking.”
When Do-kyung turned his head, Chae Se-yeon quickly withdrew her hand that had lifted her veil.
Dang Fei-hyeon followed Do-gyeong, deliberately making footsteps.
To keep him from being suspicious, I pointed to the sword in front of me.
“What is that sword? “I can feel the power.”
“Ah, you’ll really want that.”
A strangely shaped sword with the tip split into two and curved like a sheep’s horn is hanging on the wall.
Do-kyung stepped aside so that Chae Se-yeon and Dang Bi-hyeon could look at the sword.
“This is a sword used by the general of a certain Saekmokin kingdom. “It’s not suitable for stabbing, but it’s so sharp that cutting is enough.”
“Like you said, I’m jealous.”
“It is a famous sword. I did an experiment, and if there is a fight between people of the same level, the side holding it will always have the advantage.”
Inside the veil, Chae Se-yeon’s eyebrows twitched.
“Experiment… ?”
“yes. Because it’s a sword I personally like. “I tried using it on a slave, and other things.”
Do-kyung smiled broadly and began introducing the next item.
Chae Se-yeon placed her hand on my heart.
I often feel sick to my stomach when I encounter something incomprehensible, and that was exactly the case now.
Dang Bi-hyeon glanced at her.
Then he took a step closer to Do-kyung.
Dogyeong was gaining momentum and introducing other weapons.
“From here on out, these are all things I have used. “Mainly to slaves.”
“Oh yeah?”
“It’s a secret from everyone else.”
“All right.”
I grabbed Do-kyung’s neck with one hand.
He plunged the sword in his other hand into Dokyung’s heart.
Phew!
Do-kyung’s pupils got huge.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he looked at Tang Feixian with a surprised face.
“What… .”
The calm expression on his face, as if he was not killing anyone at all, was overwhelming.
Dang Bi-hyeon faked an innocent look in his eyes.
“I heard it’s a secret from others.”
“Kruk… … .”
“I will never reveal anything, so once you die, it will be a secret forever.”
dump.
He was unmanned, naked, and had a pierced heart, but there was no way he could survive.
Dang Bi-hyeon, who passed over Do-gyeong’s body, picked up his famous sword.
He waved slightly at Chae Se-yeon.
“Do you want to have it?”
“… “I said you shouldn’t kill me earlier.”
“I did it just in case. But it seemed very leisurely to be fluttering around for a thousand years and ten thousand years.”
Dang Bi-hyeon waved his sword and swept the blood over Do-gyeong’s body.
He held out the famous sword to Chae Se-yeon.
“So you’re not going to have it?”
“You really look like Sapa.”
It was Chae Se-yeon, frowning slightly but holding the famous sword in her hand.
The two who came up to the ground were greeted by the warriors and returned to their respective rooms.
“How did you do this… .”
Chae Se-yeon sighed and lifted her skirt slightly.
He took out the famous sword that was tied to his leg using a bandage.
Although it was a time when a sword was needed for the operation that was about to be carried out, it was also true that I felt a sense of self-destruction.
Chae Se-yeon recalled what happened earlier.
‘No matter how much I think about it… .’
Hyuk Yoo.
In the Murim Alliance, he was undoubtedly a loyal Murim member.
But when I came here, I blended into Sapa without hesitation.
Chae Se-yeon became curious about how he lived as a child.
His childhood as a ronin probably created that kind of personality.
It was also probably the moment when he decided to join the Murim Alliance.
It was because I assumed that.
Of course, it was completely in vain.
* * *
The original operation was like this.
As if Heuk-do had attacked again, he made a fuss to attract attention, and in the meantime, one of the people went into the basement and killed Do-kyung.
However, it became much simpler after killing Do-kyung beforehand.
“You just have to make some noise and then walk away.”
“You might think Do-kyung died in that commotion.”
“Yes.”
Dang Bi-hyeon, dressed in black, opened the outer door.
There were stars dotted in the dark night sky.
Chae Se-yeon, also dressed in undercover attire, followed him outside.
Dang Bi-hyeon jumped onto the roof of the guest house.
‘If the Black Island really attacks, we have to do what will happen.’
The Red Tigers stood guard under the roof.
In a situation like this, if you call it a surprise attack and make a fuss from within, it would be no different from declaring that the culprit who killed Do-kyung was an insider.
Dang Bi-hyeon sent a hand signal to Chae Se-yeon.
‘It looks shabby over there.’
‘let’s go.’
Even in the imperial palace where the country’s most powerful people live, security is often breached.
Moreover, wouldn’t there be a vulnerability in a guest house guarded by a unit that is not familiar with the building structure?
As soon as Dang Bi-hyeon saw Chae Se-yeon’s hand signal, he held the sword without hesitation.
And then he took a leap.
Just before the operation was carried out.
Suddenly, the faces of my colleagues in Hubei flashed through my mind.
‘Are you doing well?’
* * *
Somewhere in Hubei.
Yang Guard and Yang Seok-jun sat down on a tree stump.
I put down the ax.
Shoot~
The tree that was about to be cut down served as a good screen to block the rain.
Howie decided to take a break due to the sudden rain shower and wiped off his sweat.
Plans to build a second hideout were progressing steadily.
The only problem was that Guard Yang suffered in the process.
‘You’re entrusting me with this task even though I don’t know anything about architecture… .’
I tried to feel impure thoughts, but I shook them off while thinking of Gu Myeong-ji-eun.
However, no matter how infinitely loyal Guard Yang was, it was true that it was difficult.
As the old saying goes, someone returned a favor by tying grass, but Howie Yang was building a house alone on bare land.
It was not an ordinary house.
It was a hideout built in a sparsely populated area in Hubei, especially deep in a mountain range where no one lives.
It was a natural fortress with cliffs upon cliffs and mountain peaks above them.
To put it conversely, since no one lived around me, I couldn’t get any help from others.
Fearless beasts attack you on the wrong day, and when you try to catch it and roast it, the next one sneaks up.
‘Why are there so many bugs, Won?’
The flying insects tickled my skin without knowing that they were afraid of humans.
Surprisingly, we haven’t even started talking about building a house yet.
The conditions of the hiding place requested by Tang Feixian before leaving are as follows.
‘It has to be a land that matches well with Hwanhwanmyeongmyeoljin. That’s the key.’
‘How can I find a suitable land?’
‘How do I know that?’
‘… … ?’
What happened next was even more spectacular.
‘Highland area that is easy to defend and monitor the surrounding area. However, when viewed from below, it must not be visible that there is a building.’
So, Yang Howie came here in search of a place where nature was preserved as much as possible.
Even then, they have only been able to build temporary shelters and a back yard.
You should now start building your real hiding place from the trees you just cut down.
However, there was another issue that complicated his mind.
‘Flickering and extinction.’
A masterpiece created by the Zhuge family, a piece that can excellently conceal a specific area through Jinbeop Hwanhwanmyeongmyeoljin.
I was deeply concerned about how to handle this.
Dang Bi-hyeon explained it.
‘First, inject inner energy.’
‘yes.’
‘And try moving roughly. Then it starts to show. I thought, ‘This is how you do it.’
‘… … ??’
“Ugh.”
I don’t know if the foundation stone will be laid before the end of summer.
Guard Yang looked up at the non-stop rain and scratched his head.
I felt something foreign.
When I opened my hand to see what this was, my palm was covered in hair.
Guard Yang couldn’t believe his eyes.
“… … .”
Even if I blinked once, twice, three times, nothing changed.
Shoot~
Before I knew it, what I thought was a shower turned into a torrential downpour.
The wood piled on one side got wet quickly.
Howie Yang sat quietly on the stump, dumbfounded.
A frustrated sigh flowed out.
“Haaa… .”
I promised myself that I would wear a hood from now on.
