The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 80



Only Krnovel

“While Chae Daeju and Xiaohyeop were away, the General Military reorganized the Chusaldae.”

Namgung-tae explained what Na-gyeol had done.

“Why do you think the pavilion is so empty? “I’m sure there needs to be a crew.”

“… “I thought everyone was away.”

Namgung-tae shook his head.

Now that I came here, I noticed that his face seemed a little redder than it normally was.

Above all, it had a faintly sweet smell.

“Everyone’s affiliation has changed to Cheonradan. entire!”

“… … .”

“Currently, there are only three people in the expulsion squad.”

Namgung-tae spread his fingers.

“Myself, Deputy Director Yoo, and Deputy Director Chae. “There are three of us.”

In turn, he pointed to the inside of the Murim Alliance, where he, Dang Bi-hyeon, and Chae Dae-ju would be located.

Tang Feixian narrowed his eyes.

“Have you been drinking?”

“I ate. “I drank a little too much.”

“You seem to be worried.”

“That has nothing to do with the reorganization of the Chusaldae… Even though it is there, it is not there. “Just move on.”

Namgung-tae held a liquor bottle that was not visible to Dang Bi-hyeon and shook it.

The bottle seemed empty.

After savoring his appetite, Namgung-tae put down the bottle.

He started muttering as if he were talking to himself.

“So what I mean is that now the Chussaldae has become a method of recruiting a very small number of elites.”

“So that’s it.”

“The reason everyone left and I entered the Chusaldae was… .”

Namgung-tae stopped mumbling in the middle of his voice and let out a series of deep sighs.

“Father… . Oh, my father too… .”

Then, all of a sudden, I lay down with a bottle of alcohol on my back.

It was an instant before I fell asleep.

Dang Bi-hyeon began his reasoning with the sentence that Namgung-tae could not finish.

‘Did Namgung-gon order Namgung-tae to join the Chusaldae?’

Namgung-gon’s name is on the list of exorcists.

A servant of the Ministry of Justice.

We can’t be sure why he ordered his son to change affiliation, but we can guess.

‘If your son joins the Chusaldae and the Chusaldae captures Dang Bi-hyeon, your status will increase. Did he make that calculation?

It may have been something the Cheonglimbu ordered in the first place.

Whatever it was, the problem was nothing else.

‘All members of the extermination team under his command were absorbed into the Cheonradan.’

This was an important variable because it was something that had never happened in my past life.

The catch was that Cheonradan’s body had grown even larger.

I didn’t know anything else, but I was certain that being trapped in Cheonnajimang would be an even more severe ordeal than before.

Dang Bi-hyeon mentioned the name of the source that created this variable.

“Nagyeol… .”

* * *

Same time.

Na-gyeol, who heard Chae Se-yeon’s report, was informing Dang Bi-hyeon of what she had just found out.

Chae Se-yeon’s eyes wavered.

“Is that true?”

“Do I look like someone who throws jokes while working?”

“no.”

Chae Se-yeon pursed her lips and narrowed her brows.

Nagyeol’s mouth did not rest.

“It’s not that the Chussal Unit has a small number of people, but that number seems useless.”

A humorous explanation from a handsome man competing for supremacy in a political faction.

Chae Se-yeon vaguely noticed the sarcasm contained therein.

“It’s impossible to track down Tang Feixian with just three people.”

“Isn’t that why there is a Hubei Festival, you foolish person?”

“… … .”

“There will be a lot of fighting going on. From there, select late-stage indexes who look promising and smart. “I think it would be appropriate to select seven to fill the number of ten.”

“Total military.”

Chae Se-yeon stared at Na-gyeol.

Na-gyeol’s eyes became bright as he met her gaze.

‘Look at this?’

The look in his eyes and his spirit were different from before he was sent on a mission.

The emotion was darker than before.

In a way, it could be said that he had become more human.

“I will only choose two people.”

“Didn’t you hear me? Let’s have around ten people.”

“I will only choose two people, general.”

Nagyeol’s expression sank.

Chae Se-yeon didn’t care.

“While I was away, you reorganized the unit as you pleased. “I won’t ask you to step down.”

“… … .”

“But the reorganization is over. From now on, how I run the expulsion squad is up to me.”

“… “It is also your responsibility.”

Chae Se-yeon smiled coldly.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

After finishing her report, she stood up.

Nagyeol yawned loudly and did not forget to praise the Chusaldae.

“I didn’t really gain anything, but I still worked hard. “I ask the Lord to give you at least a small reward.”

“thank you.”

“Enjoy the Hubei Festival in the fall, and chase Tang Feixian starting in the winter. “He won’t be able to go on a rampage during the Hubei Festival.”

Chae Se-yeon took the lead.

Na-gyeol, who saw this, gestured for him to leave.

After leaving the office, Chae Se-yeon let out a long sigh as she felt the stuffiness disappear.

“Whoa… .”

The Murim Alliance is right.

There must be a reason for reorganizing the Chusaldae into a small elite group this time.

However, when I started to think that Nagyeol might be planning to completely eliminate the Chussaldae, my words and actions became sharper without me realizing it.

‘Equanimity is the skill of a warrior.’

Chae Se-yeon, who had calmed down inside, walked towards the main hall of the Chusaldae.

Although she didn’t realize it, her steps were lighter thanks to the relief she felt after confronting Na-Gyeol once.

As she entered the hall, she pulled her face back slightly and blinked.

This was because a rather strange sight came into view.

“Hyuk.”

“Are you here?”

Namgung-tae sleeps using his arm as a pillow.

Dang Bi-hyeon extended his blade above him.

A liquor bottle was placed precariously on top of the blade.

As the bottle tilted toward Nangongtae’s head, Dang Feixian flicked his wrist upward and laid down his sword.

The liquor bottle floating in the air was flipped over with the mouth facing down and landed on the wide sword surface.

Dang Bi-hyeon, who maintained the correct posture while balancing the bottle, looked at Chae Se-yeon.

“Have you finished reporting?”

“uh. “But what are you doing?”

“It is a practice using interludes.”

Place the liquor bottle on the tip of the knife and maintain balance.

After experiencing a battle with the Yangtze River, I once again thought about the importance of a sense of balance.

Unlike memorization, which treats the body as if it were its own, swordsmanship was imperfect, so the intention was to train it so that it would not collapse even under difficult conditions.

Chae Se-yeon smiled awkwardly.

“There is no need to do that on the Nangung Sohyeop. If you fall, you’ll get hit… .”

“It’s scary when you have something to lose. “When you’re scared, you can concentrate better.”

A thin sheet of ice where if you slip even once, you will fall to your death.

Dang Bi-hyeon, who has been walking on thin ice for eight years, has now reached the point where he has learned that fear and can take advantage of it.

“That is correct.”

“yes. By the way, what did the general military say?”

Chae Se-yeon relayed what kind of conversation took place.

At the point where there was a nervous battle over how many late exponents would be selected during the Hubei Festival, Dang Bi-hyeon couldn’t help but ask.

“Was it really necessary to argue?”

“It wasn’t there.”

Chae Se-yeon said.

“I don’t want to create a unit that ignores rules with the excuse of being free-spirited. “This is a problem that often arises in armed forces that claim to be a small elite.”

“What you’re saying is that if you bring in a lot of new recruits at once, discipline can become lax.”

“that’s right.”

A sense of being the chosen people can sprout in organizations that extremely limit the number of people and accept only proven personnel.

Such a sense of being the chosen people naturally creates trouble.

There are times when others think they are an exception to the rule that must be followed.

Chae Se-yeon wanted to prevent such a situation in advance by extracting only as much as she could manage.

Dang Bi-hyeon swung his sword, overturned the bottle, and opened his mouth.

“The reason you said you would select only two people was to ensure that the number of new recruits does not exceed the existing number. Is that correct?”

“Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to lead well if the majority are new.”

There are three people who have already joined the Murim League and are familiar with the discipline.

There are two people who need to learn from the beginning.

Even if the latter is the youngest son of a prestigious family, it will be easy to educate him because he is ahead in number.

Chae Se-yeon hesitated before saying the second reason.

“and… .”

“I’m listening.”

Her sincerity finally leaked out from the corner of her mouth that continued to hesitate.

“You’re pissed. “No matter how much of a military operation, such a serious matter was carried out without my consent.”

“… … .”

“Such atrocities are impossible unless you consider me and the Chusaldae to be children.”

I swept up my bangs to cool my heated forehead.

Then, he commanded Dang Bi-hyeon in a whisper.

“Keep it a secret that I said this.”

Dang Bi-hyeon lowered his head.

“Yes, Lord.”

* * *

The noisy atmosphere outside spread into the room.

Jincheom kept twitching his face, the only one that could move.

Growling.

The boat horn became louder.

“Fuck you.”

Suddenly, anxiety came over me.

“Could it be that you abandoned me? “Why did you carry me all the way here?”

Rationally, I knew it wasn’t right, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

But let’s think about that for a moment.

“My cheek suddenly itches. … Oh really, please.”

Naturally, there was no one to scratch.

* * *

Hash.

There is one o’clock left until the appointment time.

I decided to take advantage of the moment and check my secret ledger again.

‘Jincheom, whatever, it doesn’t matter. People don’t die if they starve for a day.’

Dang Bi-hyeon entered the basement of the hideout.

Before Chae Se-yeon handed over the secret ledger to Chae Hyeon-hwa, there was a manuscript that he copied in advance.

The reason I came back to see what I had roughly memorized in my head was no different.

‘I forgot some parts. First of all, I can’t remember who I gave the highest amount to.’

Everyone listed in the ledger received a large amount of money from Jeoksaeng.

Among them, there was a person whose amount of money itself was different from others.

A dusty basement with no escorts.

Dang Bi-hyeon sat down on a chair and opened the manuscript.

If you convert the names of spirit creatures into the way the enemy gave them, the names of people appear, and most of them were people who were active outside the realm.

The name of Shinmong, the head of Shinonsangdan, who was closely related to Cheonglimbu, was written as if it were obvious.

‘It’s the second highest amount.’

I kept flipping to the back page.

After passing through the names of Xue Guang, Cartographer, etc. that Tang Feixian had already killed, the highest amount finally appeared.

I confirmed what kind of spirit it was.

‘Eungryong (應龍). Eungryong… .’

Gamsawonju.

The head of an organization that monitors and checks corruption in the Murim Alliance from outside the alliance.

However, as an executive of the Cheonglimbu, the old man is only satisfying his own self-interest.

Moreover, there was another reason why he could not be taken lightly.

“Hwangbo Palace… .”

He was an adult from the five major political factions, second only to Namgung Seobaek.

In the current Five Great Families, where Tangmun has been changed to Minga, all four members, excluding Zhuge, actively cooperate with the Qinglinbu.

Gamsawonju Hwangbo Palace was, in name and reality, the central axis of their union.

It was that difficult to deal with, and even more difficult to kill.

‘If the identity of the secret ledger written by Jeok Saeng is a list of financing for gunpowder trafficking, it means that Hwang Bo-gung is the person in charge of the trafficking.’

In her last life, Hwang Bo-gung did not make much movement externally.

So after returning to the past, Tang Feixian didn’t pay much attention to him.

However, this snake serpent was overseeing the terrible work behind the scenes for the Cheonglimbu.

Although we do not know the specific plans of the Cheonglimbu, once gunpowder trafficking was revealed, stopping it was a top priority.

These guys were madmen who had grander wishes than Tang Fei-hyeon expected.

“… “Is it slowly falling asleep?”

Dang Bi-hyeon, who closed the ledger with mixed feelings, came out of the hiding place wearing black clothes and a mask.
