The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 6
Only Krnovel
The person who came out to meet the group was Maeng’s commander-in-chief.
He grovelled to Namgung Seobaek, spouting words that seemed like he had prepared them with great care.
Eventually, he turned to Dang Bi-hyeon.
“Are you Yoohyuk?”
“yes. “I see you, Commander-in-Chief.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
The commander-in-chief, who refused to take the gun, handed something to Dang Bi-hyeon.
It was an octagonal plaque with a red tassel.
“I heard the story. He is a talented person recommended by Elder Namgung. How could he be missed? “Welcome to the Murim Alliance.”
“thank you.”
The name of Yoo Hyeok, who was in disguise, was written on the plaque, and the three letters of the Murim Alliance were written in plain print below the name.
It was a crushing defeat that showed that he belonged to the Murim League.
Riding on the back of Namgung Seo-baek’s power, it was a piece of cake.
Dang Fei-hyeon asked the general.
“Where exactly do I belong?”
“We’ll find out in a week.”
“Is it a week?”
The Commander-in-Chief nodded.
“It will take some time to contact each unit to see if there is a need for increased personnel and receive a reply.”
“All right. “I’ll see you in a week.”
“okay.”
After finishing the conversation, the general bowed his head to Namgung Seobaek.
“Let’s go. “I will guide you to the Senate.”
Before parting ways, Namgung Seo-baek looked back at Dang Fei-hyeon for the last time.
He was already in a fighting stance.
Namgung Seobaek also followed, took the gun and said goodbye.
“It’s time to say goodbye.”
“I will visit you often.”
“Hehe, yeah. “Do that.”
This is Namgung Seobaek, who used to laugh because it was awkward when they first got together at Yuseong Gaekjan.
But now, he is acting as relaxed as Dang Bi-hyeon and is even joking.
Tang Feixian grinned and lowered his head even more.

While Tang Feixian was being defeated, Yang Howie purchased a shabby warehouse.
It is located a long walk from the street and has an ambiguous size that is too big for local merchants and too small for large merchants.
I don’t know who built it, but it was a warehouse that didn’t have the insight of a merchant.
However, all of this was an advantage from Tang Bihyeon’s perspective.
Since it is away from the street, it is not noticeable.
Since the size is ambiguous, demand must have been low so far.
In short, no one cares.
“Are you here, Master?”
“What about your stomach?”
“As Confucius said, the existing antiques were left as is.”
“good job.”
It was necessary to disguise it as a regular warehouse to avoid the risk of being discovered.
The cheap antiques that came with the purchase took up half of the warehouse.
“And indeed, as Confucius said, there was a basement.”
I guess so.
Dang Bi-hyeon walked towards the entrance to the basement.
There was a crack in a corner of the warehouse that was covered by antiques that could be seen only if you looked closely.
When I lifted it, which was more of a cover than a door, a staircase leading down to the basement was revealed.
“How did you know the entrance was there?”
“If you pretend, you pretend.”
“Like when you persuaded Mr. Namgung… . “It seems like Confucius changed drastically at some point.”
I guess it’s because he’s an expert who’s about to reach his peak.
Howie Yang’s senses are sharp.
Dang Bi-hyeon went down to the basement and said a few words.
“I’ll explain everything later.”
Even though it was a basement, it was simple.
The size of one quarter of the warehouse above.
This was Tang Feixian’s real warehouse.
It was also a hiding place, an armory, and a doctor’s office.
Dang Feixian gave instructions to Guard Yang.
“Is there any bamboo left outside of Hubei? “Move everything here.”
“All right. But now?”
“huh.”
As soon as Guard Yang came down the stairs, he went up again.

Chusaldaeju Chae Hyun-hwa was on her way back after inspecting the scene of Min Seong-guk’s assassination.
At that time, I happened to run into Chae Se-yeon, the unit owner, on the street.
Since we were moving separately due to lack of manpower, I had a lot of questions to ask.
“What are the identities of the handymen who were hired five days before the incident? “Have you secured it yet?”
“We have sent crews all over Sacheon, so there will be a harvest soon. however… .”
“What’s going on?”
As Chae Se-yeon continued to talk, Chae Hyun-hwa sensed that trouble had arisen.
“I walked around Pyoguk today. “I was wondering if there was someone among the miscellaneous workers who participated in the extortion.”
“What did the locals say?”
“It is said that many of the miscellaneous workers worked as porters in a place called Cheongseongpyoguk.”
“Holy shit.”
Chae Hyeonhwa reflexively swore.
They were only searching inside Sacheon, but a suspect escaped to another area.
And that too, not as an officially registered Pyosa in the Bureau of Pyo, but as a Jaengjasu.
It would have been a disaster for the criminal, who claimed innocence, to get away leisurely like this.
“Where did you say your destination is? “We have to get there first!”
“This is the Murim Alliance, Great Lord.”
“One o’clock is urgent. “I will only delegate command and leave immediately.”
“Just the two of us?”
“okay.”
If the real culprit is pretending to be a thief, he will not leave in the middle of the crime.
It was an unreasonable number since all the faces were sold.
After arriving at the Murim Alliance, he will try to disappear, but we must catch him before that happens.
Chae Hyun-hwa and Chae Se-yeon traversed the forest all night long to reach Hubei faster than their destination.
Chae Hyun-hwa, who cooled her head after running endlessly, thought that it was better.
‘We already didn’t have enough people, so if there are any promising new recruits, we should recruit them.’

“It’s seven days.”
Hideout basement.
Dang Bi-hyeon said as if he was making a promise to himself.
“Within seven days, I will kill the owner of Baekpo Sangdan.”
The name is right.
Was he a little over forty?
I already had the rough information.
What Dang Bi-hyeon needed was his schedule, movement route, and escort situation.
Guard Yang raised his hand cautiously.
It was a signal that there was a question.
“Can’t you ask Elder Namgung for help?”
“Senior, you are in the tiger’s den. “As long as the eyes of the Blue House are everywhere, it is difficult to move carelessly.”
It is an essential role.
Namgung Seobaek is an important factor that provides information and the atmosphere of the upper class of the Murim Alliance.
In order to deceive the government, he must always remain in the position of an indirect helper.
“Starting tonight, we will monitor his house. “The security will be tight, so be careful.”
“All right.”
That night.
Tang Feixian, clad in black clothes and immersed in the darkness, approached the Baekpo Merchant Mansion.
The house was luxurious enough to be worthy of the word “mansion” and was staffed by first-class military personnel, starting from the gatekeeper.
It was to protect Baekpo Merchant’s most important asset, the merchant’s livelihood.
Tang Feixian did not gamble by going inside the mansion.
‘The location of the mansion is close to the Murim Alliance. If you get caught, the work will be in vain.’
On the first day, it was enough to check the gatekeeper’s shift times.
The distribution of roles began in earnest the next day.
While Tang Feixian figured out the structure of the mansion, Yang Guard followed behind Jeoksaeng.
As a member of the Cheonglimbu, which is deeply rooted in the Murim Alliance, Jeoksaeng seemed to conduct many transactions with the Murim Alliance.
He visited the Murim League at most two or three times a day.
Other times, he would spend the night in his bunk or not leave his room at all.
After receiving the report from Guard Yang, Dang Bi-hyeon organized his complicated thoughts.
‘Isn’t life the same every day? ‘You have to lure it somewhere or wait for it to settle down.’
The former is impossible.
I am now in the position of a ronin who has just joined the club and has no special status, so how can I attract the highest level merchant in the central region?
If it’s the latter, there’s a possibility.
All you have to do is wait on the street, attack, kill the enemy, and run away.
But it was extremely difficult.
Wherever Jeoksaeng goes, he is accompanied by two escorts.
Dang Bi-hyeon estimates that the two are at their peak.
It wouldn’t be a problem if they attacked at once with both guards, but there was no way there wouldn’t be an additional guard hidden.
“Confucius. “You have to go to the Murim League the day after tomorrow.”
When Dang Bi-hyeon steps into the Murim Alliance as Yu Hyeok, his actions are restricted from then on.
You have to kill your enemy today or tomorrow.
However, I couldn’t come up with a clear number.
“… “I guess there is no other way.”
Dang Feixian looked at Howie Yang.
“There must be a route that the enemy mainly uses inside the mansion, right?”
“yes. “There was only one way to go out and come in.”
“What about between the office and the bedroom?”
“It’s meaningless. “I sleep in the office every day.”
“Mark it.”
Dang Bi-hyeon handed over a floor plan of the mansion that he drew himself.
Howie Yang wet his lower lip with his tongue.
While he was comparing the floor plan with the memories in his head, Dang Bi-hyeon slightly turned his head.
At the end of his gaze were handmade memorization tools made of bamboo.

Late night.
Baekpo Merchant Jeoksaeng headed to the office again today.
Entering the office, he sat down in a chair made to fit his body shape.
A sigh flowed out.
I remembered what happened a little while ago, when I went into my bedroom for the first time in a while and got into an argument.
“Look at this. What should I do? “This is all because of that woman.”
Jeoksaeng held out a pile of hair that had fallen out.
One of the guards chuckled and responded.
“Isn’t it because of the head of the house, not the wife?”
“Uh huh. It is not a private house, but a Sacheon folk house. “Sacheonminga will give us our money.”
In fact, the Murim League promised enormous support to the head of the Min family in the name of filling the vacuum in the Tang family as soon as possible and protecting Sacheon from Sapa.
It’s not just financial.
The intention was to raise Min Ga-jang as the leader of Sacheon to succeed Tang Mun, under the protection of the Murim League.
Slowly, people began to call Mingajang Sacheonminga.
“That’s because such a high-ranking citizen is lazily delaying payment. “When I think about it, it’s even worse than my wife’s.”
When Jeoksaeng told a self-deprecating joke, laughter bloomed in the room.
Another escort asked him a question.
“What do you plan to do?”
“We’ll have to negotiate on a ratio first. “In return for providing weapons, we were originally promised a share of the party’s property, but in reality, even receiving just five pennies is a multiple-fold gain.”
“But so far there hasn’t even been a message.”
“ha. Min Nam-geon also vaguely knows.”
The order that Cheonglimbu gave him was to provide free weapons to private households.
Jeok Saeng indifferently glanced at the two guards waiting for the next sentence.
Other than himself, his subordinates do not know the Cheonglimbu.
There was no reason to tell people who would just throw it away for more money.
Jeoksaeng motioned for him to step aside.
“I have work to do, so stay out.”
The guards briefly bowed their heads.
Of the two, the one wearing the curved sword turned around first.
Another guard with a scar around his eye bowed his head again to his master.
“Please call me if you need anything.”
“i get it. Well, before I leave… .”
As the scarred man turned around, the man with the curved sword opened the office door.
Grumble.
Jeoksaeng’s words stopped.
I made direct eye contact with the person in black with his face covered.
At that moment, when everyone stopped in a daze, the man in black aimed the object in his hand at the opponent in front of him.
The scarred man shouted.
“Stop it!”
Bababababaak!
The throwing stars fired from the bamboo barrel stuck in the body of the man wearing the curved sword.
The guy with the commendation on his forehead fell backwards.
Coo!
“Sangdan lord! “Go away!”
The lone scarred man swung his sword at the same time as he fired.
Before he knew it, the man in black had blocked the road attack from his back.
Kaang!
The blade trembled.
The man in black swung his sword, easily shaking off the scarred man’s attack power.
Sigh!
“Keuuuuu… !”
The scarred man, who thought it was aimed at the abdomen and defended himself, fell sideways, clutching his neck.
The scared student waved his arms in the air.
Instinctively, I grabbed onto something and tried to take a step back, but the chair I was sitting on fell backwards.
Guard Yang, the man in black, stepped on the desk in the office.
“Hi!”
When Yang Guard aimed his sword, blood spattered on Jeoksaeng’s face.
