Chapter 40
Episode 40: The only way to defeat the enemy is to go straight (2)
Baek-gyu’s martial arts skills, which we saw in real life, were truly unbelievable.
The members of the assassination team tried to block his path, but there was no way.
The twin swords held in both hands began to attack everything in their path.
Sigh-! Phew! Wow-!
“Aaaah!”
“Ugh!”
As Baek Gyu passed by, the bodies of warriors dressed in enemy clothing fell like fallen leaves in a cold wind.
Indeed, he was worthy of being called the lord of a sect.
When his men arrived later, the Jisaldae had no talent to withstand it.
“Everyone retreat!”
It was the cry of Yong Cheon-il, the master of Jissal. He was busy running away from Baek Gyu and finding a way out.
The subordinates who were holding on with difficulty scattered and tried to escape, but it was not easy.
Shirtless warriors wielding double swords.
Their eerie appearance, hanging in their mouths until the very end, looked like Rakshalas who had come down from the underworld.
‘There’s no need to look any further.’
Yu Jin-san turned his back, holding his granddaughter to his chest.
Although the child’s eyes were covered, there was no need for him to remain at the scene of the slaughter.
As I quietly retreated, I heard the voice of a dying woman behind me.
“Grandpa…”
When I looked back, I saw Meng Lianhua, with a pale complexion, lowering her head.
“…?”
“Thank you.”
Yu Jin-san stared at her for a moment and nodded once with a kind smile.
“Hurry up and take care of your wounds first.”
With those words, he turned his back and walked away.
I didn’t look back until I reached my destination.
The place where his steps were directed was a cozy abode in the far corner of the manor.
“Let’s get some rest first.”
After entering the room, he lay down without hesitation.
No matter how much strength you have, you cannot lie about your age. Before I knew it, my body was exhausted.
Through the open door, I could see my granddaughter running around the yard alone.
“Hi~”
I couldn’t help but be amazed at the child’s appearance without getting tired.
“Don’t go outside, just hang out there.”
Where is the time to focus on childcare?
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and watched the child play.
It was only after Il Da-gyeong had passed that the granddaughter toddled in again.
The child quietly approached me and lay down next to me with my arms around me. It seemed like he was finally satisfied with the game.
“Let’s take a deep breath, wake up, and have breakfast together.”
The child’s eyes were already half-closed, giving him a blurry appearance.
Yu Jin-san, relaxed, also slowly closed his eyes.
He usually doesn’t sleep much, but today he quickly fell asleep.
How much time has passed? It was a time when I was dreaming.
“Is your brother here?”
It was Baekgyu’s voice.
While he was rubbing his eyes, Yoo Seol jumped up first.
The child stood up reflexively and ran towards the door. It was because of Tanghulu that was in Baek Gyu’s hand.
Yoo Seol held onto his trouser legs and her eyes lit up.
“Is snow off?”
“then! “You brought snacks for our pretty baby!”
After handing Tanghulu over, he lifted the child up and spun him around.
“Hi. “Have fun.”
It was Baek Gyu who came after taking control of the situation and understanding the situation.
The child in front of me, who played a decisive role, couldn’t help but be pretty.
At that time, Jinsan Yu came up from behind with a puzzled look on his face.
“You must be busy, so why did you come all this time?”
Baekgyu put the child down on the floor and hugged him deeply with both hands.
“If it weren’t for you, big trouble would have happened. “I don’t know how to thank you for this.”
Yu Jin-san waved his hand.
“I just paid for the meal, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“What are you talking about? Baek-gyu may not know anything else, but he is a person who never forgets grace.”
Was it because his expression was so serious? Yujinsan nodded and led him.
“Let’s sit down and talk first.”
In the corner of the room there was a small table that could seat two people.
The two sat there facing each other, leaving behind the child who was preoccupied with Tanghulu.
“Your wife was seriously injured. What happened?”
“The crisis has been passed, so you don’t have to worry. “It’s a whole bone that was born with a keel bone, so if you eat well, you’ll feel better soon.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Baekgyu talking as if he didn’t really care.
This is because the sight of him going on a rampage to avenge his wife is still vivid in my eyes.
Eugene San laughed and filled the teacup on the table.
“haha. Anyway, I’m glad we overcame the crisis. By the way, who are the guys who came today? “It looks like a bloodletting organization.”
“That’s right. There were four armed groups in Sahyeolmun, and one of them was the Jisaldae. “I’ve shown you the wrong thing this time, so I’ll never be able to see you again.”
“Still, don’t let your guard down. “If we judge from Nobu’s strong experience, the crisis begins now.”
Baekgyu emptied the teacup he was holding in one go and snorted.
“It doesn’t matter. I also have no intention of just letting this happen. “As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, we will attack the Sahyeolmun Gate and twist Munju’s neck.”
“I know very well that your martial arts skills are strong. But I don’t think it would be a wise decision to attack blindly.”
Baekgyu tilted his head and asked.
“…What does that mean?”
“The fact that you drew your sword first shows that you are confident. Of course, they must have thought about the case in which the operation fails.”
Baekgyu thought for a moment and nodded once in agreement.
It made a lot of sense.
“Like you said, they might be digging a trap.”
“According to my guess, it must be certain. “Well, there may be something more prepared than that.”
“But you can’t just ignore an ambush. “It is the providence of this place that the moment you are underestimated, you will be eaten.”
“I’m just telling you not to attack blindly. “No matter what fight happens, shouldn’t the damage be kept to a minimum?”
Baekgyu stared somewhere outside the window with an expressionless face. It was in the direction assumed to be where the bloodletting gate was located.
“Don’t worry too much. “This Baek-gyu has been charging forward only and has never tried any trick.”
Jinsan Yu sighed as if he was frustrated.
I never thought there would be such an ignorant faction in Gangho. It was truly amazing.
As a foodie, he also had intertwined interests with Paedomun.
Their collapse means losing their hard-won sanctuary. Besides, I didn’t want to just sit there and watch because I had developed a strong affection for him.
Eugene San, who took a sip of tea, continued his persuasion again.
“How about comparing the power of Paedomun and Sahyeolmun?”
“There wasn’t much of a difference before. However, after the Four Blood Gates absorbed the Black Dragon, the difference in personnel will be two or three times greater.”
Yu Jin-san, who was drinking tea with his ears open, cleared his throat.
“So what you’re saying right now is that you will make an example of me by attacking a sect with several times as many members head-on?”
“Fighting isn’t about numbers, so don’t worry. “If we just rush in and get Munju’s supplies, we will be able to finish it easily.”
Jinsan Yu hit the table.
“Ekki, you man!”
“Why are you so angry, brother?”
Baek-gyu narrowed his eyes with a puzzled expression.
“How can people be so reckless? “Shouldn’t we at least do some reconnaissance and see if there’s a chance of victory first?”
“There is no such thing as reconnaissance for Paedomun. “If we have to kill someone, we just go and kill them.”
If we continued talking like this, I felt like I would fall into a state of confusion.
Eugene San asked, pounding his chest as if he was suffocating.
“I need to know the reason. “Please tell me the reason why Paedo-moon is so reckless.”
Baek-gyu looked rather aggrieved.
He sighed and asked back with tears in his eyes.
“How can they hide their identity and conduct reconnaissance when all the disciples are bald?”
I forgot. Except for Baek-gyu’s wife, everyone who has learned martial arts has no hair.
The reason Paedomoon had no choice but to be ignorant. It was the moment when their story of trying to solve everything only through power was revealed.
Since their identity cannot be hidden, reconnaissance is inevitably impossible.
Even if you just approached the bloodletting clinic, there was a high chance that you would be immediately discovered.
“….”
Yu Jin-san could not bear to continue speaking.
“Has your curiosity been satisfied now?”
After clearing his throat a few times, Jinsan emptied his teacup and asked.
“I misunderstood you without even knowing that. Still, wouldn’t it be better to find the best way?”
“If there is a good way, brother, please give me some advice.”
Yu Jin-san already had something in mind.
“Didn’t they say there is another force here in Hohyeon?”
“There is a Macheon Association. They are weaker than I thought, so I don’t know if it will be helpful. “Anyway, we don’t get along very well.”
“Whether you like it or not, you have to sort out your relationship with them first. “If you can’t be an ally, I won’t let you be an enemy either.”
“Well, it would be terrible if Macheonhoe were also involved in bloodletting.”
Jinsan Yu nodded and gave him a suggestion.
“Time is not on our side. I will scout out the Four Blood Gates and you go to Macheonhoe and try to persuade them. “It may not be desirable, but it is something that must be done.”
Baekgyu scratched the back of his head with a bitter expression. It seemed like he didn’t really want to meet them.
However, since Jin-san Yu was willing to step forward and offer it to him, he could not bear to refuse it.
“…I don’t know if it will work out, but I’ll give it a try.”
* * *
After dark, Yu Jin-san carried his granddaughter on his back and headed north to Hohyeon.
On every street, warriors gathered in groups of twos and threes had their eyes shining. It is probably to guard against the Paedomun.
Fortunately, none of them paid any attention to Jin-san Yu.
“What would you like me to buy for Seol’s snack?”
“Hi-Hi.”
My granddaughter automatically started laughing just by hearing the word snack.
The street stalls were closing one by one, but there was still plenty to eat on the streets.
Eugene San’s steps stopped in front of a fruit store.
“welcome! “The dried persimmons are very delicious!”
“Please give me one to feed my granddaughter.”
Yu Jin-san offered a coin, but the store owner hesitated and did not accept it.
“Um… the kid is asking for two?”
He turned his head and cleared his throat as if it were absurd. This is because Yoo Seol was extending two fingers towards the merchant.
“Give me two, two.”
Yu Seol took the dried persimmons in both hands and began to eat them frantically.
Seeing him growling alone behind his back, it seemed to suit his taste.
A happy smile appeared on Jin-san Yu’s face as he walked down the alley.
It wasn’t difficult to find the place where the bloodletting gate was located. The largest and most magnificent manor was located not far away.
“Are dried persimmons delicious?”
“huh!”
“Since I bought you snacks, I guess Seol should help grandpa too.”
“I understand.”
Yu Jin-san’s steps stopped with about a dozen pages left in the manor of the Four Blood Gates.
There was no need to go deep for reconnaissance. Isn’t there a superman with the spirit of an absolute expert riding on his back?
After settling down in a suitable place, he looked in the direction of the manor and asked behind his back.
“How many people are in there?”
“So many things.”
Of course there are bound to be a lot. Because the concept of numbers was still lacking, it seemed impossible to determine the specific number of people.
But apparently there was no relationship. That wasn’t what Eugene San was most curious about right now. The question was, what kind of expert was there here?
“Is there anyone whose energy is as strong as Uncle Baek-gyu’s?”
“Hundred nine? “Baekguu~?”
I can’t believe I don’t understand Baek-gyu’s name. It was a disaster.
While he was thinking about how to explain him, a word suddenly came to mind.
“The cattail-haired man.”
At that moment, Yoo Seol stretched out his index finger and pointed somewhere.
The deepest part of the manor. It was a single building that towered to a majestic height.
“Like this.”
