Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 85

>

Closer, closer.

There were several carriages speeding through the wilderness, raising clouds of dust. Although it would be difficult to describe it as luxurious, the carriage looked quite sturdy and expensive, and was being pulled vigorously by unusual course horses. There were a few carts behind, but they weren’t that big so it didn’t look like a top.

Next to the carriages, warriors with swords on their belts, as if they were guard troops, were each riding horses and moving with the carriages and horse heads side by side.

As the horse galloped along with the sound of its hooves for a while, the horses in the carriage attached to the cart began to sag back little by little. Then the coachman shouted to the warriors right next to him.

“The horses are tired!”

“Okay, let me tell you.”

One of the warriors responded by lightly kicking the horse’s body. Soon his horse ran forward with a hissing sound. A warrior approached one of several carriages and spoke softly.

“Jeonju. The horses pulling the cart are tired and need to get some rest.”

His voice could have been drowned out by the strong sound of the horse’s hooves, but his voice spread clearly. It was probably loaded with inner strength. The way he spoke calmly on a horse saddle that was constantly moving, rather than sitting still, suggested that he had learned martial arts at a fairly high level.

“…No. If you go a little further, you will come across a small village. Let’s rest there.”

Inside the carriage, the voice of a person presumed to be ‘Jeonju’ came out in the form of an honorable mention. It’s a deep voice with a hint of exhaustion. It was unclear whether the fact that he spoke highly of even a mere guard was indicative of his personality or simply a matter of habit.

The warrior tried not to lose his politeness even though he could not be seen. Muryang Jeonju was not only a key figure who mastered all the secret techniques of the clan, the Zhuge family, but was also the one who personally worked with both feet for the revival of the family. There was even talk that if it weren’t for him, the Zhuge family would have been ruined long ago, so the young people in the family all respected Zhuge Changsin of Muryangjeonju.

The unmanned person opened his mouth again.

“Wouldn’t it be better to rest here and then go to Sacheon and rest in a proper place? It seems like a village at best in this area.”

“Sacheon is completely different from the land of Hubei, where the main family is located. Although Ma Guangtian’s forces are rampant in Hubei as well, Sichuan is truly an apostolic world. The entire Sichuan, excluding Chengdu, where the Tang family is located, is the territory of the apostolic Bangpa. The bed may be comfortable, but “You won’t be able to rest comfortably. If you even slow down your movement speed, there is a risk that you will be attacked in many places.”

There was a pause for a moment. Mu-in recalled that Muryang Jeonju had been arguing with the head of the family for two days after his return. According to what I heard, there was a heated argument to the point where shouts were exchanged, but perhaps because he talked too much, Zhuge Changxin’s voice seemed to be slightly cracked and dry. At least your throat is thirsty.

After a while, a much better voice came out, as if he had actually swallowed his saliva.

“Before entering Sacheon, you must rest sufficiently in the village, and after entering Sacheon, move to Chengdu as quickly as possible. You will need to eat in a place with few people if possible, and stay overnight in a place where security is easy to guard.”

“…Does the main family have to go to such an extent just because of the Sapa thugs? There’s even a young lady here.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

If there was a sound of jade beads rolling, would it be like this? Inside the carriage, the voice of a girl who was still young came out pleasantly.

“I was sick of being locked up, but coming out like this feels like an outing and it’s nice. The carriage is quite shaky, but it seems to have its own fun. I’m looking forward to staying overnight. After catching the animal and skinning it, salt it. “I heard it’s so delicious to sprinkle it on and grill it over fire.”

“anyway.”

Muryang Jeonju’s voice appeared again, interrupting the girl’s lively voice.

“Among the apostolic factions under the Black Silhouettes, there are many who have quite strong martial arts skills. In other lands, those who walk the apostles are often looked down upon and referred to as junk, but those who have mastered the martial arts changed by the Black Silhouettes can withstand even the elite armed forces of their home family. It won’t be easy, so it’s best to avoid causing as much friction as possible. Even if you don’t understand it, I hope you’ll follow my advice for now.”

“…No, I was presumptuous. Jeonju. I’m sure you have other thoughts, but I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“It’s okay, so please go back. Tell the coachman that you will rest when you get to the village.”

“yes.”

The warrior bowed his head politely towards the carriage, slowed his horse and stepped back.

A little while later his presence disappeared.

The girl inside the carriage said while circling.

“You’re in quite a hurry, uncle.”

“…Did you see it like that?”

“As soon as I finished talking with my father, I gathered up my crew and set off, and even when I stopped at a guesthouse, I just had a quick bite to eat and then set off again… The travel time was much longer than the time the sun was up. Even if they were course horses, they were still worth it. .”

“I didn’t want to create unnecessary variables.”

The middle-aged man, Zhuge Changxin of the Muryangjeonju Zhuge Dynasty, answered indifferently, stroking Nie Xuan with his palm. And then I mutter to myself. Of course you have to hurry. It’s already been quite a while.

一I won’t say much. Please install the Jinbeop secrets similar to those installed at home at your home. With that, I will let this matter pass quietly. There will be no estrangement in the relationship between the two families. Of course, all costs and manpower involved will have to be borne by your home country.

This was the condition that Yeon Myeong, the head of the Tang family, had agreed to save him. There were requests, or even threats, to move forward quickly.

On his way back to his family alone, Zhuge Changxin was raided several times by Sapa warriors. It wasn’t just because he looked easy-going because he was dressed like a student. The forces of the Sa faction under the Black People’s Alliance rarely touch the civilians. The reason why Zhuge Changxin was attacked was because there were many people watching the Tang family. This is because Taeeulmukgeompa and Cheonjinbang were caught up in the Tang family’s Sogaju competition.

After being attacked several times, Zhuge Changxin completely lost his disdain for the Four factions. Although the number of people was large, there were some people whose skills were so outstanding that it seemed like they were from famous families. After dealing with such people a few times, Zhuge Changxin began to doubt whether he would be able to escape Sichuan safely alive. His pride was once crushed for his life in front of his name. It wasn’t difficult for him to roll over again. He threw away his help and disguised himself as an ordinary citizen. He even resorted to using his tactics to hide and rest, and barely managed to survive. It took quite some time.

Have you seen Jegal who arrived like that?

I immediately met with the head of the family alone. The head of the family, Zhuge Changxian, was originally a cousin to Zhuge Changxin. The two, who grew up together since childhood, were so close that they called each other by their first names in private. Because he knew the hard work that Zhuge Changxin had done for his family, his trust in him was also strong.

Zhuge Changxin desperately tried to persuade the head of the family. It is said that a person who could be called a dragon has appeared in the Tang family. Let’s take advantage of that and try to revive the Zhuge family.

It wasn’t difficult to persuade up to that point. Originally, the Zhuge family had the intention of being subordinated to the Tang family. In the first place, what was the reason for supporting the key figures of the Zhuge family’s Muryangjeon in the Tang family’s Sojiajou competition and installing the Seven Chains of War Palace? It was to recruit talent who would become the head of the So family to the Zhuge family.

The failure of other Muryangjeon personnel who had been dispatched together to return alive was appropriately blamed on the factions under the Heuksaryeon. It is said that he went into exile when a major apostle, the Bangpa faction, like the Taeeulmuk Geom faction, raided Gonggongsan Mountain. They were concerned that it would instill antipathy towards the natural name of Jajit Danga and Sogaju.

The problem was when the Zhuge family mentioned that they wanted to install the same level of gin laws that were installed in the main family in the Tang family.

‘Muryang Jeonju. No, Changshin. I understand that you had a lot of confidence in the child called Sogaju of the Tang family. It is quite fitting that at that age, he witnessed the sight of him supporting three hundred people by himself. But that is too risky a gamble, regardless of the cost. After giving it away, the utility value of the original family from the party’s perspective is extremely low. ‘It’s something to discuss more carefully.’

‘house owner. There is no time. It won’t take long for Sogaju’s true name to be revealed. I guarantee it. Truly an overwhelming quality… No, since it has already blossomed, I should say it is a skill. Anyway, he has amazing inaction. From what I understand of his personality, it is easier to be liked if he provides solid support rather than just guessing things for no reason.’

‘No matter how much it is….’

In order to persuade the hesitant head of the family, Zhuge Changxin had to talk for two days. He didn’t talk about the fact that he was caught playing tricks on his wife. He considered it a shame and judged that it was not good for the relationship between the two families. Judging by Yeon Myeong’s cleverness, there was also a guess that he would never reveal what happened with him.

In any case, after obtaining the family head’s permission with difficulty, the next thing Zhuge Changxin did was to gather pretty fair-looking girls from within the family.

Children aged between thirteen and sixteen.

‘Raise your head.’

It has been more than five to six years since Zhuge Changxin left the family due to the Tang Dynasty’s Sogaju competition. There were many faces I didn’t recognize. Especially for teenage girls, their beauty often changes significantly even after just one or two years.

Among the dozens of girls, there was one that particularly caught my eye. Even though she was still young, her off-white color was amazing. This is probably what I remember. While mumbling like that, Zhuge Changxin asked.

‘What is your name?’

‘Forever. It’s Zhuge Yingying.’

“What are you thinking like that?”

A clear voice breaks my thoughts.

When Zhuge Changxin raised his head, a pretty girl with big eyes was pulling her lips. Her bright smile was very impressive. Wouldn’t it be easy to disarm boys of the same age?

She was the daughter of the current Zhuge family. Because she was the daughter of her concubine, Zhuge Changxin had completely forgotten about her, but this time she caught his eye and she accompanied him to Sichuan.

‘It’s like watching Suran from when I was young.’

Zhuge Changxin suddenly thought of his cousin. It was called the best beauty in Hubei and was the pride of the Zhuge family. Then, he falls victim to the eccentricity of Ma Gwang-cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok. She is a poor woman. Thanks to her sacrifice, Zhuge Suran was able to maintain her reputation, but in the end, unable to bear her humiliation, Zhuge Suran committed suicide.

At one point, he ran around in every possible way to get revenge on Yeon Hae-hyeok, but Ma Gwang-cheon’s power only grew stronger day by day, while the Zhuge family declined to the point where it was difficult to maintain its reputation without relying on the Tang family. Now, rather than wanting to get revenge, he just wanted the family to continue.

“…Don’t forget that the future of your family depends on you.”

“Don’t worry. As my uncle said, if Yeon Myeong is such an outstanding man, I will take it anyway.”

Zhuge Yingying said in a confident tone. She had never experienced a boy her age rejecting her before.

“I can see the village!”

The driver can be heard shouting for a long time. Before we knew it, we had reached the destination that Zhuge Changxin had mentioned. The sound of the horses’ hooves seemed to have become more lively, as if they had sensed that the rest was coming soon.

Taking steps, Zhuge Yingying sticks his head out the window. As expected, the smoke from cooking rice was billowing upward in the distance. When she turned her head to see the red light coming from her, the sun had just begun to set and the sun was hiding its body. The entire landscape in sight is dyed red.

Sacheon was now just around the corner.

The girl took a deep breath and put her head back, looking forward to a new encounter.
