The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 87
Only Krnovel
The preliminaries were held with great acclaim.
As the group of idiots was filtered out to a certain extent, the level of the dance performance increased, and accordingly, the party administration demolished the outside dance stages one by one.
The higher one went, the more attention was paid to each dance.
As a result, new martial artists who became popular among people started to gain popularity.
“Oooh! “It came out!”
“Chwigeom! Get drunk! “Get drunk!”
Namgung-tae went up to the off-stage holding a sword.
However, the other person’s gaze was directed to the opposite hand.
This was because he was holding a liquor bottle along with the sword.
“Referee. “Is it okay to do that?”
“There are no restrictions on drinking while off work.”
“what the… .”
The young man who was Namgung-tae’s partner had nothing else to say.
Of course, there was no reason for the organizers to stop the event with a rule prohibiting drinking.
If you become drunk, it will ultimately lead to your own loss.
However, Namgung-tae felt different.
“Ah, my throat hurts.”
My throat is sore from drinking the night before, so I take a sip.
Then, the cycle continues with a sore throat again the next day.
Namgung-tae frowned after taking a sip of his drink.
“Big.”
“Are you both ready?”
After checking both sides, the referee declared the start of the fight and stepped down.
Namgung-tae muttered as he shook the bottle with his wrist.
“Is there thirty-five pennies left?”
At that time, the young man rushed at me recklessly.
He thrust out his spear and aimed at Namgungtae’s abdomen.
Cough!
Namgung-tae, who slashed his sword and broke the path of the spear, turned his wrist around.
A sword that looked sophisticated yet flimsy flew in like a snake.
“Huh!”
The young man took a deep breath and hurriedly struck it away with the spear.
What followed was boring compared to the bloody battles that took place elsewhere.
Namgung-tae consistently maintained a defensive stance as if the bottle of alcohol was more important than him.
The young man showed a lack of competency to the point where he was embarrassed even by the occasional swipe of his sword.
However, there was no sign of the confrontation ending as Namgung-tae did not take an active role and was rather on the defensive.
Every time Namgung-tae took a sip of alcohol, cheers rang out.
At some point, the young man stopped spearing.
He frowned.
“Do your best! “No matter how much you call me Namgung, are you trying to make me a laughing stock?”
Namgungtae’s hand, which was lifting and tilting the liquor bottle, stopped.
When I quietly cast my gaze, the young man continued to shout.
“Isn’t it the duty of a warrior to do his best no matter how ridiculous the opponent is?”
Namgung-tae lowered his hand.
“I’m not belittling you.”
Afterwards, Namgung-tae was silent for a while.
He looked down at the bottle for a moment, took a sip of his appetite, and then spoke.
“I recently found out a secret that I couldn’t handle. “I’m a little confused.”
It was quite difficult because without alcohol, I got a headache.
I needed something to calm my mind, be it alcohol or something else.
At the same time, what the young man said was not wrong.
Namgung-tae, who raised his upper body with his will, stared at the young man with a drunken face.
“I won’t ask you to understand,”
Huh!
Finally, the standard method of Changgung Muae Sword Technique was revealed.
“I will do my best from now on.”
Paang—!
The wind created by Nangungtae’s charge rose towards the young man.
As the young man swung his spear straight ahead, Nangongtae’s sword was struck in a flash.
Kwazijic!
The window shattered with a loud noise, scattering into several pieces.
Namgung-tae, who tilted his upper body to avoid the wood fragments, raised his sword upward and cut.
Cough!
The spear blade that had been flying towards its owner flew into the sky.
Regret appeared on the young man’s face.
But I wasn’t as indignant as before.
Rather, he seemed satisfied with having witnessed just a glimpse of Namgung-tae’s true skills.
“It’s a good sword.”
“Thank you.”
The moment Namgungtae’s victory was confirmed, the common people cheered and chanted the nickname ‘Chwigeom’.
The young man looked towards the civilians and smiled bitterly.
“They don’t know the true intentions of Namgung Sohyeop and are hurting them.”
“I like it. “Chwigeom, I think it’s a good nickname.”
Good!
The young man, who accepted the result, took the bow of arms.
“No matter what happens to Sohyeop in the future, I wish you good luck.”
Namgung-tae, who had already turned his back, waved his hand holding the liquor bottle instead of raising his head.
“You too, don’t commit suicide.”
* * *
The navy blue uniform of the Chusaldae immediately intersected with the white uniform.
The sloppy walking technique that was difficult for the eyes to follow left an afterimage of the two people.
Late index exhibition.
Chae Se-yeon’s sword and the sword of the White Tiger member clashed with all their might.
Whoops!
“What is the reason for not using Ganggi?”
A member of the White Tiger team spoke up.
Chae Se-yeon threw his sword to the side and delivered a slash.
“For me, just use what you want and that’s fine.”
Chae Se-yeon’s level is at its peak.
On the other hand, the members of the White Tigers have reached their peak.
If you use up your attack power similarly, the White Tiger member who runs out first will ultimately be defeated.
Chae Se-yeon, who had the advantage of advanced level, had no particular reason to finish the dance quickly.
Therefore, I was conserving my strength with the mindset that I would not hesitate to fight for a long time.
It was the sorrow of someone of low status.
The off-stage is just a flat space, an environment where all variables have been removed.
If I didn’t create something unexpected, it would be like slowly losing.
In the end, the Baekho members made a bold move.
Following the widely stretched out steps, a pure energy gathered around the blade.
Wedge!
Kang-gi cut Chae Se-yeon in front of her nose.
She read the Baekho members’ goals in advance and unfolded the snack she had prepared.
Whoops!
A powerful strike on the shoulder.
The strength of the White Tiger members barely blocked the dark blue attack.
Chae Se-yeon, who was leaning in close for a power struggle, suddenly changed her attitude.
He adjusted his position to the side and extended his hand.
Up!
Geum Na-su tightly held on to the Baekho Dan member’s military uniform.
Just as Chae Se-yeon was about to put the sword to her throat.
“stop!”
The referee intervened.
“Chae Se-yeon, wins. “Do you have any objections?”
“… doesn’t exist.”
The gap was allowed, and Geumnasu released his defense.
Even though it wasn’t a matter of life or death, it sent shivers down my spine, and there was no way I could avoid admitting defeat.
The White Tiger member took the gun and made a request.
“Be sure to win.”
“huh?”
“Wouldn’t you be able to get something out of it by telling tales of your adventures to the members?”
“okay. “I will try my best.”
Chae Se-yeon turned her shoulders and came down from the off-stage.
Because it was an unusually long game, most of the other non-stages were empty.
Chae Se-yeon’s dance was likely to attract attention, but quite a few people had already left the festival, making plans for tomorrow.
As expected, Chae Se-yeon’s dancing was perfectly stable.
In other words, it was not the type that interested the common people.
However, it attracted the attention of many experts as a reward.
“Hey, Chae Sohyeop!”
Chae Se-yeon turned her head.
A middle-aged man running quickly, even walking.
Min Nam-geon quickly landed in front of her and looked at her clothes.
He said after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
“Can I talk to you for a moment?”
“Yes, it’s still noisy here, so please move.”
Chae Se-yeon, remembering him asking her to investigate the death of her son Min Seong-guk, nodded willingly.
She even invited Min Nam-geon to the palace of the Chussaldae.
Min Nam-geon took the tea cup, blew on it to cool it down, and then drank it.
His face was deeply troubled, and the more he thought about it, the more his throat seemed to burn.
Chae Se-yeon had a question.
“Has something gone wrong?”
“Ah, it looks like I’m being targeted by Dang Fei-hyeon right now. “Of course.”
“Dang Bi-hyeon… ?”
Are you going to kill someone again without fear during the Hubei Festival?
Chae Se-yeon’s body leaned forward as if urging an explanation.
“You must have proof that you think so.”
“exactly.”
It was then.
Suddenly.
“Oh, I didn’t know you had a guest.”
The person who appeared as the office door opened was Dang Bi-hyeon.
Chae Se-yeon called Dang Bi-hyeon, who was strangely keeping an eye on Min Nam-geon.
“It just worked out. come in.”
“yes.”
Min Nam-geon put down his teacup with a puzzled look.
“Are you a subordinate of the Great Lord Cai?”
“you’re right. “This is Yoo Hyuk, the unit owner.”
Dang Feixian politely took the gun.
Chae Se-yeon pulled a chair for him to sit down and asked for an explanation.
“What is the evidence that Tang Bihyeon is targeting the head of the family?”
At that moment, Dang Bi-hyeon, who was sitting on the chair, almost twitched her lips.
As always, I kept my innocent face and denied it to myself.
‘Nonsense. ‘We haven’t even made a detailed plan yet, but you noticed the attack?’
It’s true that it doesn’t make sense.
However, humans’ survival instinct is so strong that they sometimes display horrifyingly accurate intuition.
Dang Bi-hyeon, who knew this well from his own experience, clasped his hands and listened to the conversation.
Min Nam-geon began speaking while rubbing the teacup with his thumb.
“There is not necessarily accurate evidence. however… At night, an ominous omen appears. “I came here because I couldn’t get over it.”
“What is this sign?”
“that is… .”
Min Nam-geon bit his lower lip.
Chae Se-yeon waited quietly so as not to make him uncomfortable.
“… “I am staying in a mansion not far from that street.”
“okay.”
“But every night, I hear a wolf howling.”
Chae Se-yeon narrowed her eyebrows.
I don’t know the connection with Dangbihyeon, but it could be considered an ominous omen.
“Are you saying you can hear wolves howling in the center of Hubei?”
“That’s correct.”
“No one has ever seen that wolf in person… .”
Min Nam-geon shook his head.
“That’s why it’s so weird!”
“But isn’t it just ominous?”
“If this was all, you wouldn’t come here. “After nightfall, pieces of bamboo are always found in the mansion.”
Bamboo memorization is like a symbol of Dangbihyeon.
If it had only been the sound of a wolf howling, Chae Se-yeon would have thought Min Nam-geon was sensitive, but now she thinks differently.
Chae Se-yeon first checked before suspecting Dang Bi-hyeon.
“Have you checked to see if it was someone inside the mansion?”
“It’s only me or the people I hired as security guards. “I checked everyone, but no one came forward.”
“It’s definitely not just a nasty prank… .”
There were not many facts about Dangbihyeon that the Murimmaeng announced to the public.
A martial arts hero who brutally kills several people and claims innocence.
That was all.
The act of arranging bamboo pieces as if to show off.
It was difficult to believe that it was someone else’s work.
Moreover, it couldn’t have been a coincidence.
Min Nam-geon poured the remaining tea into his mouth.
“Whew. This must be a warning. “I’m sure they’ll come to kill me sooner or later!”
“I’ll tell the commander-in-chief and we’ll be on guard at night. How is it?”
“If that’s the case, I’m relieved, but I’m still anxious… .”
After hearing the whole story, Dang Bi-hyeon’s thoughts deepened.
‘It’s difficult.’
I don’t know who it was, but he did an excellent job of slandering me.
He acted as if he guessed, or rather was sure, that Dang Bi-hyeon would target Min Nam-geon.
This was an invitation for Dang Fei-hyeon, who knew the truth, to accept.
‘Is it a trap? Are you trying to lure me out and catch me?’
I shook my head.
If it was committed as a trap, it meant that he knew that Dang Bi-hyeon had sneaked into the Murim Alliance as a disguise.
That couldn’t have been possible.
“Daeju Chae, I can’t relax even for a moment.”
‘That’s it.’
This is to ensure that Min Nam-geon is aware of this.
Dangbihyeon might attack.
At least it seemed clear that someone was waiting for Tang Feixian at Min Nanjian’s mansion.
‘okay. Let’s see who wins.’
There was a family enemy in front of me.
I had no intention of backing out.
