Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 173:

Namgung So-hye, who returned home after working at the market, quietly looked at her hands.

Even though I held his hand a few hours ago, it seemed like his warmth still remained.

A blush appeared in shame.

It was the first time in my life that I walked while holding a man’s hand.

Excluding family members, of course.

‘But…’

Namgung So-hye suddenly remembered something.

Holding hands was a catch, but there was something even stranger than that.

“I… didn’t need to go to the business, did I?”

When I thought about it, it was like that.

The two of us went to the business, chatting about various things. But all I did was meet Hao Mun, and in the remaining time, I walked around the streets, bought some food, and came back.

I went to a place that took several days to visit and came back in less than one visit at most.

She tilted her head and fell into an unsolvable mystery.

Meanwhile, Dan Woo-hyeon was sitting on the veranda.

Kwon Moo-jin came in and bowed his head to him. Kwon Moo-jin’s expression was quite serious, as if he was reporting on what he had investigated.

Namgung So-hye quietly approached and listened.

“There was no information about the recent contact between the scandalous family and the Honam Trading Company. However, as I traced his past movements, I found that Duakchil, the head of the Chumun family, had secretly stopped by Honam Sangdan. After that…”

“Mak Chung-heon came to Geumhwan Sangdan.” “That’s right.”

Namgung Sohye was surprised.

Both Chumun Sega and Honam Sangdan were famous families.

‘The Chumun family is a family that brews alcohol… and the Honam Sangdan is a merchant…?’ I tilted my head in puzzlement.

Of course, there was no contact between the two places.

Since the Chumun family’s alcohol is distributed through the Honam merchants, the two must have a very deep relationship.

However, as far as she knew, the Chumun family was not a family with great military power.

Even if you ask ten people passing by, they will praise the Honam Sangdan as being greater than the Chumun Sega.

But does this mean that the Honam upper class listened so actively to the request of the Chumun family?

Of course, considering the close relationship, it may be so, but in that case, the Chu family should have shown some movement.

However, the Chumun family did not move at all and only the Honam upper division was enthusiastic.

Not even anyone else, the owner of Honam Sangdan himself stepped forward with both arms raised.

This was a very special thing.

Considering the power and reputation of the Honam Sangdan, this is absolutely impossible.

‘It’s as if there’s a superior-subordinate relationship, right?’

Of course, the scandal was at the top.

Is it really like that?

“Also, it appears that they are preparing for a large-scale commercial operation in the Honam area in the near future.”

“Because it’s a commercial transaction…”

“It’s a fairly large transaction, so the preparation time is quite long. “Maybe it’s to sell off the damaged items.”

“That might be possible.”

Dan Woo-hyeon let out a small sigh.

In any case, what was lost must be regained.

I wanted to clash with him according to his personality, but that was impossible, so I had to understand the situation well.

Then suddenly something occurred to me.

Didn’t they say, “an eye for an eye?”

Dan Woo-hyeon thought that far and smiled.

“They stole it, so let

’s take it back.”

“…yes?”

“yes?”

After saying those words, Dan Woo-hyeon got up and disappeared somewhere.

The expressions of the two people who were quietly looking at their leisurely backs were full of puzzlement.

‘What did you just say?’

‘Take away what?

‘ no way?’

I smiled awkwardly and looked away.

Not even a moment had passed before Dan Woo-hyeon was seen returning. In his hands were three seemingly hastily made masks.

Namgung Sohye held her forehead and sighed.

“Why is that…?”

“Can’t you tell by looking?”

“I know it’s a mask! “I’m asking why you brought it!”

“Why do you ask the obvious?”

“Are you really… going to rob me?” Even though he said it out of his own mouth,

he couldn’t believe it and had a blank expression on his face.

The Namgung family was a prestigious political faction and

was famous for its public policy.

But what should I do?

She looked at Woohyun Dan with a disgusted expression.

“We are taking back what was stolen.”

“Why not look harder for evidence?”

“If it comes out.”

It was a carefully planned theft.

The fact that such a large amount was taken in one night, and the fact that no traces were left behind, made me feel that it had been carefully planned.

No evidence was produced.

It might have been possible to force him to open his mouth, but Dan Woo-hyeon had no desire to do that at all.

If you make a mistake, you can suffer great losses.

The opponent was the largest merchant in Honam and probably had many connections with high-ranking officials, so if he tried to intimidate that side by force, things might go wrong.

Since I have a sweet tooth, I didn’t want to create something that I might get caught up in.

“But…”

As Namgung So-hye hesitated, Dan Woo-hyeon sighed.

Why can’t I do simple things? I looked at him with that expression.

“Wear a mask and hijack the carriage of Honam Sangdan. It’s simple. “Don’t worry, you won’t even get caught.”

“No, I’m not worried about that…”

Namgung So-hye pressed her eyebrows as she watched Dan-woo-hyeon planning a crime so easily.

I know that it will be easy because I know Dan Woo-hyeon’s inaction.

But isn’t it too much to ask someone from a prestigious family to commit robbery?

“If you’re scared, just leave. “I won’t stop you.”

Namgung So-hye’s face crumpled at the sight of him smiling.

‘Are you scared? Is this Namgung Sohye?’

This is a woman who has lived without anything to be afraid of. The escorts who follow the commercial routes are probably only second-rate, so is there no reason to be afraid of them?

Namgoong Sohye frowned and twitched her lips.

“That can’t be possible.”

“Then what are you worried about?”

“It’s because I don’t want to tarnish Namgung’s name.”

“Where is the place where the signboard has already been defiled and buried?” Namgung Sohye felt downcast at the words that pierced her wounds.

I looked at the floor with slumped shoulders and trembled.

There is no need to say that much.

In my heart, I thought, ‘Yes, it’s ruined! I wanted to scream, ‘What are you going to do?’

Although Dan Woo-hyeon was angry, she was so strong that she couldn’t do anything about it, so she sat down on one side and sobbed.

“For Mujin, find out the departure time and detailed route.”

“All right.”

“And these are the things you need to prepare for.”

Dan Woo-hyeon handed over a small piece of paper.

Kwon Moo-jin, who took it, nodded and kept it in his arms.

“I’ll be back.”

Moojin Kwon bowed his head and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who was looking at Kwon Moo-jin’s empty spot, turned his gaze towards the sky.

What is received is returned double.

That was Dan Woo-hyeon’s way.

‘If they took my things without fear, I should be prepared for that. ‘Isn’t that so?’ The Honam Sangdan departed from Jangsa County three days later and headed to Gangseo Province.

As if showing that it was a large-scale commercial trip, there were 150 escorts and there seemed to be dozens of porters.

There were so many wagons carrying goods that they were lined up.

What was so great about it was that there were about a dozen carts piled high with luggage, and the entire carts were wrapped in black cloth, perhaps to hide them from others.

The climb was so great that even the bandits would be shocked if they saw it, but perhaps because of the flags carried by those at the forefront, no one dared come close.

I entered the main road, moved for a while, and then took a mountain path.

It is a shortcut to Gangseo and has been used in the upper part of Honam even before the main road was built.

The road was rough enough to make the cart shake, but it was fast enough to bear with it.

“Why are you going down this path?” He frowned and hesitated, as if he didn’t like the escort who seemed to be a newbie.

Even though I was riding a horse, I could clearly feel that the road was in bad condition even from the horse.

Was it really necessary to choose this path?

It would have been more convenient if I had gone down the main street, even though it would have taken a bit of a detour.

“noisy. Focus on being quiet and alert. Even though we are in the upper part of Honam, it doesn’t mean we won’t be attacked.”

“What kind of crazy person is messing with Honam Sangdan? “That too in this Honam land!”

The new escort muttered with an expression that made no sense. As he was the richest man in Honam, the Honam Sangdan was a place with considerable power and power.

Therefore, even the green forest was not disturbed.

Of course, I couldn’t completely ignore it, so I showed some sincerity.

“It happens sometimes. “Crazy people who don’t even understand the topic.”

The guard captain chuckled.

Those who have just started banditry or those who are crazy about money.

There were bound to be crazy people like that somewhere. Moreover, if it was a commercial activity on this large scale, even ordinary people would be amazed.

“huh?”

The guard captain, who was thinking about this, happened to notice something ahead.

A large log had fallen, blocking the road.

He raised his hand to signal.

As soon as the carriages stopped, the guards drew their swords.

Sreungsreung –

A sharp sound of metal echoed around the area.

“You go and check.”

“yes!”

One of the subordinates urgently ran towards the fallen tree. The purpose was to confirm whether someone had artificially knocked it over or whether it fell naturally.

The subordinate, who had been looking at the tree for a moment, turned his head and looked at the guard captain.

The moment he was about to say something.

“It’s the enemy!”

“Everyone be on guard!”

As soon as the shout was heard, the head of the guard ordered to be on alert.

Everyone who participated in the ascent looked around.

The guards’ actions were seamless, as if it was something they had done once or twice, and at the same time, they were brimming with cold, knife-like murder.

It contained the will to slaughter all those who dared to attack.

At that time, dozens of drawings suddenly flew out of the bushes.

The guards, startled by the pouring rain, swung their swords as if they had been waiting for them to form a formation.

“Stop!”

The guard captain suddenly realized what was flying and shouted in a hurry.

But it was late.

The guards’ swords had already cut through it.

Boom boom boom!

Pure white smoke quickly enveloped the surroundings.
