Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 243

Gambling (3)

Ilmok, Jin Ha-yeon, and Dam-bin split into three groups and charged into the garden.

“What kind of guys are they!”

A group of startled gamblers tried to rebel, but were quickly subdued.

Because they were all second-rate or first-rate.

puck!

Instead of killing the group of gamblers, Ilmok and his group subdued them to some extent.

Because the difference in skill was so great, there was no need to use magic separately.

“Please, save me!”

As about half of them fell like autumn leaves, the rest quickly threw down their weapons and knelt down, begging for mercy.

“Where did you guys come from?”

At the question of asking about the back of the ship, the guys looked around for a moment.

“Kwaaaaak!”

I crushed the hand of one of them, and he answered with a frightened face.

“I came from Heukseombang!”

“Black Island Breakwater? Where is that breakwater?”

“Oh, it’s a breakwater in Gwangwon County!”

When Ilmok looked at Dambin, who was hearing the name for the first time, Dambin answered.

“It is a county in Sichuan Province. It is located on the border between Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.”

At her answer, Ichimoku turned his head again and looked at the gamblers.

“Then who gave you the order?”

“We just did what the Ark told us to do!”

“Yes. He sent me here to tell you to go and earn some money since there are so many people here!”

The men answered, trembling with fear.

‘Tsk. Are you guys so immature that you don’t know anything?’

Ichimoku lightly clicked his tongue inwardly, then turned his body and looked behind him.

It was because I felt some kind of presence behind me.

“Stop!”

Those who appeared while saying so had familiar faces.

They were the later leaders of the same sect that I saw at the Arts Center, including Hwangbo Yeon, who is known as Kwon Bong-i.

As the guy who had been causing a ruckus earlier, who was called Paeng Ji-kwang, tried to step forward, Hwang Bo-yeon stepped forward, extending her arm as if to stop him.

“My name is Hwangbo Yeon of Hwangbo Se-ga. I came here after hearing screams and shouts, but who are you to threaten the weak?”

At Hwangbo Yeon’s question, Jin Ha Yeon and Dam Bin looked at each other.

– Can I kill you?

Ilmok shook his head at Jin Ha-yeon’s emotionless tone and stepped forward.

Because I felt something strange in their questions.

“Since you came to Pyeongryang County, haven’t you heard anything about us from Gaebong?”

“Have you been in contact with Gaebong? I’ve only heard that Gaebong has been quite busy lately, tracking down something.”

It seems that the liberal side did not go around talking about the Maitreya Buddhism throughout the Central Plains.

‘You said you didn’t have the energy to chase after the Blood Cult, but you were hiding the fact that you were tracking it?’

Only then was Ichimoku able to grasp the general situation.

It seemed that they were secretly pursuing them, as rumors spread that they were openly pursuing the Blood Cult, which would cause them to go into hiding.

However, knowing the circumstances of the opening did not make things any better.

Because I should have explained the situation from the beginning.

“The people living here in Pyeongryang-hyeon were poisoned by the evil man named Guigokja.”

When Hwang Bo-yeon tilted her head, wondering whether it was the first time she had heard the name Ho-jeop-cho, the woman behind her opened her mouth.

“It is a very dangerous flower because if you inhale its pollen, you will experience hallucinations and it is highly addictive.”

“Thank you for the explanation, Miss Zhuge Liang.”

Hwangbo Yeon, who had been offering a bribe to a woman who appeared to be the daughter of the Jegal family, turned her head again and looked at Ilmok.

“Then are they the subordinates of that traitor?”

“The ghost has already died by our hands. The problem is that there are still residents who have become addicted to the Hojeopcho. Therefore, we at Mireukmyeonggyo are taking care of the residents of Pyeongryang-hyeon.”

The one who expressed that this place, Pyeongnyang-hyeon, is the territory of the Mireukmyungyo, pointed to the rioters behind him and said.

“And these guys are gamblers who are trying to drag the residents who have barely escaped their addiction to the tobacco plant into the swamp of gambling.”

As soon as Ilmok finished his explanation, Peng Jiguang shouted.

“How can you believe that it’s true? Couldn’t it be that you guys made up a story to scare the weak?”

It seemed as if he was deluded into thinking that he was some kind of swordsman.

I just thought that if the strong are bullying the weak, then the strong are automatically considered evil.

The moment Jin Ha-yeon and Dam-bin were about to step forward in response to that rude attitude, Hwang Bo-yeon spoke first.

“You can ask the Open House to confirm that, Peng So-hyeop. There is no reason to be rude to these people now.”

“But… .”

Paeng Ji-kwang tried to say something more, but Hwang Bo-yeon stared at him intently, so he ended up keeping his mouth shut.

Even though they were interfering with what he was trying to do, Ichimoku had that thought first.

‘You’ve really worked hard.’

Judging from the way he handled the dog, I thought he had been suffering for quite some time.

Hwang Bo-yeon, who had succeeded in stopping Pang Ji-kwang, turned her head towards the masked man again and asked.

“Come to think of it, the seniors who were fighting in the art hall or something were quite skilled. Are they also members of the Maitreya Sect?”

“Yes. It was to show them the secret to encourage those who have lost their will to live due to addiction to the herb.”

“That’s why those experts showed off flashy and exaggerated movements that couldn’t be used in real combat.”

As if she had already been wondering about that part, Hwangbo Yeon nodded and muttered.

Hwangbo Yeon, who seemed to be organizing her thoughts in her head, soon turned to Ilmok and showed her respect by taking a lottery ticket.

“I apologize for interfering without knowing the circumstances.”

When she expressed her intention to step down as a representative, the suppressed rioters started to shout as if they were having a seizure.

“Oh, my lady. Please, spare me!”

“We, we are not guilty!”

“It’s unfair!!”

Their cries brought arsenic to the corners of Ichimoku’s mouth.

“No sin?”

A heavy murderous aura settled over the garden.

“Do you really not know how those who have lost their fortunes to gambling live?”

When it comes to gambling addiction, it doesn’t just end with the individual losing money.

“You must have clearly seen a family being torn apart because of one person who fell for your tricks. And you still do this after seeing that.”

When a person becomes addicted to gambling, the whole family is ruined. Even when parents, siblings, spouse, and children are all swept away, the person addicted to gambling cannot stop gambling.

In some ways, gambling was more dangerous than drugs.

While it may be an aberration for an individual to gamble, those who encourage gambling and drag people into gambling are just as evil as those who distribute drugs.

Is it because of the earnest murderous intent that is scattered throughout the house?

The group of rioters who had been shouting that they were being treated unfairly trembled with pale faces, unable to open their mouths.

The first thing that made them shut their mouths was to turn their heads and look at the followers of the political faction who had not yet left.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

Without any reaping of life.

It was a murderous warning that if they interfered any further, they would not be allowed to go.

As if in response to that terrifying murderous intent, a cold wind blew through the garden, and the veil covering the woman’s face fluttered in the wind.

It was not for nothing that she covered her face with cotton, for she was quite beautiful.

“Wow… .”

“Gulp.”

To the point where the rascals who were oppressed by the murderous intent of Ilmok found themselves exclaiming in admiration or swallowing their saliva.

At their blatant reaction, the woman who had been wearing the cotton swab was startled and grabbed the cotton swab with her hand, covering her face again.

“Now that we’re letting go of the interest, you’ll have to worry about how the interest will come out.”

When Ilmok, who had been watching the whole situation with an indifferent gaze, said that, Hwangbo Yeon and the woman whose face was revealed flinched.

“We will now take our leave.”

Hwang Bo-yeon quickly grabbed the lottery ticket and said that before leaving, and the woman wearing a cotton swab followed right behind.

As those two moved first, the rest of the group also left the garden with various expressions on their faces.

After sending back the index of the Jeongpa, Ilmok turned his head and looked at the rioters.

I thought to myself that they really were a miserable people.

Not only did he lead people down the path of ruin and disgrace, but he also lost his last chance at a crossroads of life and death by being bewitched by a woman.

* * *

After getting some distance from the garden, Pang Ji-kwang belatedly shouted with an angry expression on his face.

“Are you really going to go back like this?”

The person who had been keeping his mouth shut, overwhelmed by the masked man’s murderous intent, finally seemed to have come to his senses.

To that question, Hwangbo Yeon held back a sigh and answered.

“Then, does Prince Peng want us all to die together?”

It wasn’t just because of that thick murderous feeling I felt at the end.

Hwang Bo-yeon. The reason why she stopped Pang Ji-kwang immediately after entering the manor and used honorifics when speaking to them.

“All three of them were masters who could not be compared to me.”

That’s because their level cannot be gauged.

If I had encountered him on the street, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed that he was unmanned.

However, it is absurd for those who have not even learned martial arts to subdue those who appear to be first- or second-rate.

She was able to deduce that fact immediately after entering the manor.

“How can a hero of the righteous faction turn a blind eye to injustice because he values ​​his life!”

Hwangbo Yeon responded to Paeng Ji-kwang’s words as he shouted while glancing at Hwangbo Se-hee.

“You don’t know if it’s unfair or not?”

“What Hwangbo Do-woo said is right. Peng Ji-kwang Do-woo. Since they mentioned opening, it is not too late to ask about opening and learn about the Maitreya Buddhism before taking action.”

As he went out to support Hwang Bo-yeon all the way to the Unbaek Dojo, Pang Ji-kwang gritted his teeth and said, “I-I-Ik,” and then closed his mouth.

In an awkward atmosphere, they walked through the streets of Pyeongnyang-hyeon.

A street where you can hear the sounds of someone playing an instrument, singing, or reciting poetry.

As word of Pyeongryang-hyeon spread, musicians came to visit, and thanks to the education provided by the Arts Center, residents who had learned music began to play on the streets.

In the peaceful atmosphere, unlike the scene at the garden a little while ago, Hwangbo Se-hee, who was wearing a cotton swab, approached Hwangbo Yeon and whispered in her ear.

“I’m sorry, sis.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You avoided me because of me.”

At the end, I wasn’t talking about the cotton being blown away by the wind.

From the beginning, Hwangbo Yeon was not the type of person who would avoid fighting or ask for help from his family because he thought his life was precious.

He was a man who would stand up to injustice even if it meant losing his life, and he was not afraid of fighting the strong.

If he had been afraid of such things, he would never have gone on a non-combat mission. Rather, he welcomed the non-combat against the strong.

If Hwangbo Se-hee hadn’t existed, she would have applied for the match regardless of whether what they said was true. Just because the opponent was a master.

At her younger brother’s words that saw through her true feelings, Hwangbo Yeon smiled and patted her younger brother’s head.

“Bimooya, won’t there be a chance at any time?”

Although they are biological sisters, they are very different from each other.

As a woman herself, it would be natural to envy her looks, but Hwangbo Yeon never had such thoughts.

Because she considered herself a ‘woman’ before her gender, she was grateful to her parents for giving birth to her with a stronger body than that of an average man.

This thought became stronger thanks to his younger sister, who was called Murim Ohwa.

My younger sister, who is worthy of the phrase “beautiful in the country,” has been harassed by countless men since she was young.

So Hwangbo Se-hee was traveling the rivers and lakes with her face covered with cotton. Just like at Jangwon earlier, there were so many men whose faces were scary enough to make her feel envious.

No, even without looking at them, Peng Ji-kwang, who is with us now, was like that.

Hwangbo Yeon, who had seen her younger brother since childhood, felt sorry for him rather than envious.

Hwangbo Se-hee, who had smiled on her face covered with cotton at her sister’s touch, muttered as if she had only just remembered something.

“Come to think of it, that guy was kind of strange.”

“That guy?”

“The man in the mask who spoke to my sister.”

“What was so strange?”

“Even though you looked at my face, there was no change in your eyes.”

“Looking at his level, I think it’s because he has deep self-cultivation and can control himself.”

“… Don’t you remember the Taoist priest who tried to kidnap me five years ago?”

“… … .”

An old Taoist priest famous for his arrogance came to visit Hwangbo Se-hee as a guest. When he saw Hwangbo Se-hee’s face, his eyes turned red and he tried to kidnap her.

At that time, Hwangbo Se-hee was only fourteen years old.

For some reason, it seemed to bring back scary memories of her younger brother, so Hwangbo Yeon coughed in vain and changed the subject.

“Ahem. Anyway, it really is a peaceful town. It’s so peaceful that I’m sad to leave for Sacheon tomorrow.”
