Taejonbirok Volume 5 Episode 21
Chapter 37: The Lazy Man Takes Revenge (1)
Who is Seo Ju-ak?
The scholar-official Seo Ju-ak was quite a famous womanizer at the time.
Well, in fact, there are one or two perverts in every era. So, it's not that unusual.
But I think that Seo Ju-ak should be treated as quite important in Gangho-sa.
Because… …Seo Ju-ak rolled a giant wagon wheel.
If it weren't for Seo Ju-ak, Wi Yeon-ho would never have entered that cave. Wi San-ho suffered a lot mentally, and Wi Yeon-ho suffered a lot physically, but when you think about it, he really did a great job.
huh?
Oh, of course, Seo Ju-ak himself will regret it.
You must have regretted it so much.
I can't help but regret it.
I've been through that.
Now that I'm talking about it, I'm reminded of that scene. It was really horrible.
* * *
“Ahhhhhhhh, I found it.”
Seo Ju-ak turned around in surprise at the voice coming from behind him.
“Ehhhhhhh.”
There was a man standing there looking at him.
“Hehehehe.”
'Hey, are you crazy?'
What he did wasn't that crazy.
You look young?
When I look closely at his face hidden in the darkness, I can see his youthful appearance. He seems to have not yet reached his prime or has just reached it. But why is he wandering alone in this ambitious mountain?
“Ehhhhhhhhh.”
“……Is he really crazy?”
Otherwise, he wouldn't be just laughing in this situation.
The young boy who suddenly appeared slowly raised his head.
“Seo Ju-ak?”
The eyes of the scholar Seo Ju-ak narrowed.
'You knew it.'
If that was the case, then this guy was also one of the people chasing him. Only then did Seo Ju-ak relax.
Among those pursuing him, the only one that Seo Ju-ak actually feared was Gong Mu-jin. The others did not pursue him out of fear that the Emperor's Eugene would be taken away.
In the end, aside from the public servants, those who followed him were nothing more than moths set on fire by the shallow pretense of a sense of justice. So there was no need to be on guard.
“Another young kid with a keen eye for public opinion…….”
“Hehehehe, Seojuaaaaaaah.”
“……This crazy guy?”
"that's right?"
“What are you talking about?”
“Are you the explorer Seo Ju-ak, Seo Ju-ak?”
Seo Ju-ak opened his mouth, looking annoyed.
“Yes, you little brat. I am Seo Ju-ak. So what are you going to do?”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
As soon as Seo Ju-ak finished speaking, the young boy burst into laughter and rolled his eyes.
“I wanted to meet you. I really wanted to meet you! You can’t imagine how much I wanted to meet you.”
what?
Does this guy know me?
Seo Ju-ak couldn't help but be confused.
'That's not strange.'
Given the things he had done up until now, it wouldn't be surprising if people he didn't know held a grudge against him.
However, what really should be considered strange is not that, but Seo Ju-ak's reaction just now.
'Why am I putting up with that crazy guy's antics until now?'
Seo Ju-ak hates it the most when someone interferes with his work. If it were him in the past, he would have killed the kid the moment he showed up without asking any questions or questioning him.
But now, Seo Ju-ak was reluctant to take action.
'Why?'
His mind had already moved ten times, but his hands were not moving.
“Hehehehe.”
At that moment, the madman opened his mouth.
"first……."
A growling, bestial howl echoed through the mountains.
“Let’s get started!”
* * *
“Did you say you were the Emperor’s son-in-law?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm…….”

The divine investigator Jo Hyeon swallowed his sigh.
“How can I accept that the grave of someone who died three hundred years ago has only just been discovered?”
Zhuge Tianyi, one of the five vice-admirals supporting the military campaign, held his breath as he observed Zhao Xuan's complexion.
Although it has been quite some time since I first met Jo Hyeon, it is not easy to see him struggling like this.
“In a situation where the Green Forest is in turmoil, the Sword Emperor’s Eugene suddenly appears? And there’s even talk that the Poison King’s secret note has been discovered in Sacheon. Should we consider it a coincidence that so many things are happening at the same time?”
“No trace of manipulation was found.”
“Just because no traces have been found, doesn’t mean we can take it at face value?”
“There is no force that can properly plan things.”
Jo Hyun's eyes sank.
“What about Cheon Iryeon?”
“There is no movement from the Cheon Eui-ryeon. Don’t you know? The Cheon Eui-ryeon recently had its leader replaced. They must be very busy with the internal reorganization.”
“I guess so. That’s how it should be…….”
Jo Hyun drank tea with a sour look on his face.
As the scent of tea stimulated my nose, my dizzy head felt a little more organized.
'That's strange.'
The situation was clearly clear.
The problem is that the situation is too clean.
With so many things happening at the same time, there should be at least one bad smell, but I was concerned that everything was so clean, as if it was a coincidence.
“I have a bad feeling about this.”
Unfortunately, his hunch turned out to be pretty accurate.
“What is the situation?”
“All the unmanned units in the area are heading towards Nasan. We have mobilized all of the branch personnel to prevent any possible conflict, and we have also sent people from our headquarters, but if there is any provocation, there is a clear possibility that it will spread like wildfire.”
“I guess so.”
If Jo Hyeon-do, who chose the path of literature over martial arts, is feeling excited, how much more so must those who devoted their lives to martial arts be feeling.
The Emperor of Swords.
'Isn't he the greatest person of all time?'
Even if Shaolin has Dharma, Shamans have Sambong, and Demonic Cultivation has Cheonma, if we were to evaluate them individually, who would dare to say that they are in front of the Sword Emperor?
He was called the Sword Emperor who split the sky with his sword. If his martial arts skills had been passed down to future generations, the history of martial arts would have been rewritten.
He suddenly disappeared one day without even passing down his sword to his descendants, so the world of ten thousand swords did not continue.
But it was understandable that the whole world of martial arts would be in an uproar when the tomb of such a sword emperor was suddenly discovered. Didn’t you feel the urge to rush over there and see for yourself?
'But what if this was a well-laid plan?'
If someone spread this on purpose, what was their purpose?
"for a moment."
Jo Hyun's face hardened.
“Information, what happened to the information? How are Gaomen and Haomen moving?”
“……Are you talking about opening up? Of course, all the people who are open are also gathering in Shinyang.”
"this."
Jo Hyun gritted his teeth.
“Do you think that the Emperor’s Eugene is a trap? But there is no terrain in Nasan where you can dig a trap. And how can you put this many people in…….”
“Tsk.”
Jo Hyun waved his hand.
“Are you saying that there is a cave full of organs that only exists in legends? Why would the Emperor of the Sword do something like that to a tomb when he is not even a carpenter? Those are just stories made up by the talkative and arrogant people. That is not the problem.”
“Then what are you worried about?”
“It’s blank.”
"……yes?"
“Aren’t all the Gaebang and Haomen gathering in Xinyang? Then doesn’t that mean that the information sources outside of Xinyang and Sichuan are decreasing?”
"ah!"
“Just by using the name Sword Emperor, it was possible to create an information gap. I don’t know who thought of it, but this is a fool’s errand. There’s no way.”
“Why don’t you just let people know about this?”
“Who would believe it?”
“…….”
“Even if I believe that, I can’t give up the hope that something might happen. That’s just human desire. So I guess I should consider it as something that’s already happened. The problem is what to do with all those informants gathered in one place.”
Jo Hyun opened his mouth with a dark face.
“I hope it’s nothing serious. I hope it’s just my leap. Just in case, tell the Biyeon Pavilion to keep an eye on the situation.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As Zhuge Qianqi went out, Zhao Xuan got up from his seat and walked to the window.
'This is ominous.'
I had a bad feeling.
During that time, Gangho was very peaceful.
Jo Hyun felt heavy-hearted because this incident seemed to be a sign that the peace would be shattered.
'Are troubled times coming?'
The clouds did not answer his questions.
* * *
Things started to get very strange.
Lee Seol-hwa couldn't help but focus her gaze on the young man who suddenly appeared.
No matter how crazy the young man seemed, he was the only person she could trust right now.
Her belief that he would help her clashed with her rationality about Seo Ju-ak's skills, which she had personally experienced.
After a moment of hesitation, she finally shouted.
“Run away!”
Seo Ju-ak's martial arts skills were beyond what was known. She was the second disciple of Hwasan and the disciple of the Plum Blossom Sword Ghost, Gong Mu-jin, so much so that she could not even swing her sword properly and was defeated.
The young man he saw now did not look old at all.
She may not be the strongest among the later indexes, but even the strongest would not be able to defeat her in a second. If that were the case, the result would be obvious. A life would be lost for nothing.
“Do, run away and call the people! Hurry up!”
Lee Seol-hwa grabbed the sword that had fallen to the floor and struggled to get up. Her insides had already been shaken for a long time, but she had to buy enough time for the young man to escape.
'It can't be helped.'
If you cheat, you deserve to pay the price.
If it was to protect her life or integrity, it would have been right for her to run away while Seo Ju-ak was distracted, but as a proud disciple of Hwasan, she could never commit such a shameless act.
The best she could do was to let the young man escape and surrender herself before losing her reputation. She should be grateful that the young man had caught her attention, which gave her the opportunity to grab her sword and surrender herself.
The moment she grits her teeth and grabs the sword.
A strange sight appeared before her eyes.
The young man made a strange expression and chuckled, then suddenly stretched his body and appeared right in front of Seo Ju-ak.
'omg?'
Her eyes grew wide as if they were going to tear apart.
'Lee Hyeong-hwan?'
What on earth did he just see?
“Huh?”
It seemed that she was not the only one who was flustered. When the young man suddenly appeared in front of her, Seo Ju-ak was startled and used all her strength to spread her makeup.
Red swimming instantly covers the young man's body.
"no!"
Lee Seol-hwa screamed. But right now, her body was unable to provide any help to the young man.
It seemed as if the young man would collapse in a pool of blood at any moment, but something unexpected happened.
A white hand suddenly appeared in the middle of the red swimming pool and sliced off the chin of Seo Ju-ak, who was unfolding his makeup.
“Wow!”
A scream like a pig being slit by its throat rang out.
