The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 273

It was around the time that Sakju, who had fallen asleep, started to wake up from the distant dawn when Jinmu returned to the inn after leaving the country.

Squeak.

When Jinmu returned, young Jeomsoi, who was barely awake, poured him a warm drink to soothe his cold body in the early morning air.

Jinmu opened his mouth while looking at the figure that did not even take off his eyes.

“thanks.”

“What.”

“…”

You must have been tired.

The darkness was still thick and no one was awake, but the child was faithfully fulfilling his duties.

Because I have to. I have to eat to live.

After the child went down the floor, Jinmu looked at the cup of steam rising.

The warmth felt at the fingertips spreads throughout the body like water riding on paper.

gulp.

A hearty smile appears on Jinmu’s lips as he swallows the drink in one breath, then disappears.

Shanxi Chamber of Commerce.

After visiting Saneum Pyo-guk, their hidden appearances are drawn in my head little by little.

The vast amount of oppression from merchants and shamans in Sakju to Pyo-guk and commoners.

Aside from the act of rebelling, you also control your words and actions.

Jinmu, who was organizing his thoughts for a while, laughed as if it was absurd.

Ha, so these bastards are playing kings now.

what a good way Rule through fear.

It is a method that the bastard of Bukri Docheon uses well. It’s also very efficient.

But dare to go to Shanxi?

I’ll have to stretch my legs out looking for a place for crazy people to lie down. How dare you drive a stake into my ground?

Even if the liver was swollen, it was too swollen.

oh yes let’s see where

It doesn’t matter if you are a palace or not. money? That’s it, if you take it anyway, it’s mine.

I’ve never lost a fight for position.

I’ll smash them all and carve into every bone who the true owner is.

Crisp.

The spirit of subtle anger shatters the wine glass in Jinmu’s hand.

As soon as the warmth of the liquor poured from the bottle passed into the throat and spread to the organs, Jinmu’s eyes began to sink more and more coldly.

“Lord.”

The time when the sun, which had been hiding behind the mountains for a long time after waiting alone, began to shine.

After looking around Sakju, Hwangshin and So Dongbo returned.

“These slugs. What is so late?”

“…!”

uh? Why is the Gaecheonju suddenly so angry?

Seeing Jinmu’s bloody expression, Hwangsin and So Dongbo approached and stopped in shock.

“Did you find out?”

“yes! Like the Saneumpyo Bureau, everyone has strengthened their vigilance.”

When So Dongbo replied, Hwangshin nodded to express the same meaning.

“That’s right…”

It’s a story that moved as a whole.

There’s no way I’ve been vigilant every day like I am now. You won’t be able to lead your daily life due to severe fatigue.

Then why?

Jinmu was sweeping his chin to organize his thoughts, but in the early hours when the world was just waking up, an inappropriate commotion came from outside the inn.

“The emperor.”

Simultaneously with Jinmu’s short command, Hwangshin perked up his ears.

“…hmm.”

The face of the Hwangshin, who had been listening quietly, gradually distorted.

“A nice-looking boy… well-dressed… I think they’re looking for us?”

already? Did the Saneumpyo Bureau report it?

No way. They didn’t leave any traces in the Saneumpyo Bureau, and even if they did, there’s no way they’d find it this quickly?

How the hell do you know… Damn it.

It seems that Su Dong-bo and Huang-sin’s collection of information related to the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce has become a problem.

“Lord, I think we should move quickly. They are officers.”

“…ha! Are you an officer in the middle?”

Aren’t they the upper ranks?

anyway it is

Moreover, how much money did they have to spend so that the sluggish government officials moved to find them at dawn?

yes it is good I’ll step away for now. But wait a minute.

After dealing with the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, I’ll find out the details of how you guys took bribes and rob them.

“…back off for now.”

No matter how angry I was, as long as the coffin was hanging, there was no point in bumping into it until I found perfect evidence or was completely sure.

Jinmu had So Dongbo pick up the ledger he had brought and immediately left the inn through the window.

After a while.

thump thump.

With the sound of running up the stairs, more than a dozen officers armed with spears and swords appeared on this floor where the martial arts were held.

“What is this?”

The official who brought the official bottle frowned at the appearance of this floor of the inn, which feels empty and sluggish.

“I heard you were there just now?”

“Oh. Did I see him warming up the drink and bringing it up?”

The innkeeper pointed to the young Jeomsoi who served Jinmu’s liquor.

“Hey, what happened?”

“…I’m fine.”

Surprised by the authority of the official, the child was terrified and answered with his neck tightened.

“What a pair! Are these jokes?”

The government official who used the hexagrams sighed as he glared at him fiercely.

“What can I do? Catch these guys too. If you gossip, you’ll vomit something.”

“…yes? vs. vs. Are you a god? I am not guilty of anything. Believe me!”

“Noisy. That’s for us to figure out.”

“Vs vs.s!”

The innkeeper and young Jeom So-yi were grabbed by the officials and dragged out struggling.

The official looked at the empty room and turned around with an annoyed expression.

“Everyone goes to the inn next door! I know that because I can’t leave the office until I find the suspicious guy!”

“yes!”

The roof a little far from the inn where the officers and soldiers escaped.

Jinmu’s expression is severely distorted as he watches the situation at the inn.

Because they avoided their seats, the innkeeper and shopkeeper were arrested.

Damned coffins are rotten as they are rotten. It’s not enough that you received a bribe, so you harass even innocent people?

I expected it, but when I saw it myself, I was so angry that I wanted to knock them all out right away.

However, it is not a fight between a martial artist and a martial artist. Sanggyedo was also connected, and government offices were also connected.

In times like these, we had to be calm.

both of them will be fine It’s going to be a bit of a struggle, but you can save it later.

Jinmu clenched his fists while glaring at him with eyes that seemed to be on fire.

“New Dongbo.”

“Yes, Lord.”

“First, get out of Sakju and find a forest where people are rare.”

“yes!”

Although they did not understand the contents of the order, Hwangshin and So Dongbo immediately fled without saying anything, probably because Jinmu’s expression was so frightening.

* * *

Paralock!

Ledgers move quickly.

Jinmu’s expression, sitting with his arms crossed, looked angry as if he were going to chew on people at any moment.

Parala Rock!

The ledger moves faster and faster.

Find all suspicious items.

Jinmu said so, and while Hwangshin and So Dongbo were quickly turning over the ledger, they went through the details again and again and marked everything suspicious.

But why did you bring so many ledgers?

It seemed like a lot of useless content, but I couldn’t even say it because I was scared.

Parala Rock!

Hwangshin skillfully finds something and writes it down.

As a member of Haomun, he basically has the ability to analyze information, so it was natural that he was faster than Xiao Dongbo, but whenever he fell behind, Xiao Dongbo felt impatience.

He didn’t want to lose anything to the Hwangshin, more than being afraid of being beaten because he didn’t perform as well as he wanted.

In the meantime, I glanced at Jinmu, and his expression changed even more sternly.

Damn, I didn’t know when he was laughing, but it’s scary.

My hands trembled and my hamstrings tingled every time I met their eyes, which had sunken down as dull as the darkness of a moonless night.

Jump!

“omg!”

Suddenly, Jinmu got up and approached Hwangshin and So Dongbo with a terrifying expression.

“Wrong!”

“…”

As Dongbo So suddenly prostrated himself, Jinmu stared blankly at him.

“what?”

“…anything.”

“…”

Why is this bastard again?

Jinmu sighed and shook his head.

Contrary to Hwangshin and So Dongbo’s thoughts, Jinmu had been concerned about the letter in his arms from earlier.

I couldn’t get rid of the awkward feeling that had settled in my head.

The content of the letter intended to be sent to Shanxi Sanghui. There seemed to be something there.

By now, the woman I met on the map should have woken up.

He would have confirmed that the correspondence was gone, and if so, he must have done something about it.

Whatever it was, it was necessary to confirm it, even if it was to erase the awkwardness.

“I have a place to go for a while.”

“…?”

“Where?”

Hwangshin and So Dongbo stopped looking at the ledger and looked at Jinmu in a puzzled way.

“Additional chapter of Wuyu County.”

“…?”

where you hear it for the first time

Hwangshin and Sodongbo look at each other’s faces and tilt their heads.

According to what they investigated, isn’t it related to the Sakju Top?

“I’ll keep looking at the ledger here until I get back. Find as many of them as possible.”

“yes!”

Dongbo So and Hwangshin answered at the same time.

“Then don’t go.”

After speaking, Jinmu headed northwest and ran.

So Dong-bo, who had been staring blankly at his back, suddenly erases his thoughts and tries to look at the account book to avoid digging, but Hwang-sin takes out a portable paper pen and ink from his bosom and quickly writes something down.

“What are you doing? You said to look at the ledger?”

“It’s because you don’t know that man. I’ve seen that expression before. I’m sure it will fly big in four months.”

“…yes?”

After the ranks were set, the conversation between the two was starkly different from before.

So Dongbo treated Hwangshin respectfully as an older brother. That’s because I’ll get that title back someday.

And, perhaps because it was comfortable, he was a talkative Hwangshin unlike usual in a place where there was no Jinmu.

“Because you don’t see it, you don’t know. Wow, considering that the whole village was blown up at that time… I’m sure it won’t end with just one or two dying, right?”

“….”

The whole village was blown up?

So Dong-bo blinks his eyes and makes an expression as if he has realized something.

“In such a dangerous situation, shouldn’t we hurry up and chase after God?”

“Don’t be mean. If you follow me, you and I might die in an instant. I was lucky then. There was only one such monster. It is different from now.”

“…?”

At Hwangshin’s words, So Dongbo’s doubts grow.

“And you heard it too. He told me to look through the ledger and look for suspicious things.”

“…yes? what is that?”

“We just have to follow orders. And if we go, it won’t help. Fuck I knew this was going to happen and prepared for it in advance.”

In the midst of not understanding what he meant, Hwangshin tore up the note he had written and sent it somewhere.

“Where do you contact me?”

“We have to send people who will be much more helpful than the likes of us to additional chapters. It’s been a while since I sent you to ask for help, so he’s probably around by now.”

“…so who is that?”

“Who is it? Your grandmother, our Danju, and Cheon Woo-myeong, Danju.”

“…yes?”

You called King Sapaeo’s set?

“Whew, I sent you a call anyway, so go find the ledger. If you come back and give an unsatisfactory report, you and I will be beaten to death.”

Paralock!

As if he had done his job, Dongbo So looked blankly at Hwangshin, who began to focus on the ledger again.

“…excuse me.”

Ssuksuk Parala Rock!

“…”

As the marks on Hwangshin’s ledger increased rapidly, So Dong-bo had to feel impatient again.

And as if competing, the sound of going over the books resonates through the forest.

Parala Rock! Parala Rock!

Just like a strong wind begins before a storm rages.
