Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 327

327
“What should we do here, Sandan?”

-Peepee!

In response to Hwa-eun’s question, Sandan moved his front paws down and looked at Hwa-eun as if he were his teacher.

As if to ask if I could follow along.

Then, Hwa-eun imitates Sandan’s movements with her pointed hands.

You may wonder what the two of them were doing, but it was martial arts training.

No, to be exact, Hwa-eun was in the process of creating a Dokmun martial arts technique.

Hwa-eun said that she wanted to gain some insight from watching Sandan’s movements in a situation where her life was on the line and she wanted to turn it into a martial art.

So that’s what I’m practicing.

Do you want to try making a Tanglangquan?

It was a good idea.

Among the insect hunters, the one that competes for the top spot is the grasshopper.

If you can mimic the movements of a locust, it will be a martial art of considerable power.

Wouldn’t it be a martial art with explosive speed, accuracy, and brutality?

Sandan, who spreads the flowers on her buttocks and shows Hwaeun how to move, and Hwaeun, whose clothes flutter whenever she moves, looking like a large flower.

In the yard, two flowers were blooming as if dancing.

“It’s just like dancing.”

“Right?”

While I was happily watching Seol Nui and Hwa Eun’s martial arts practice.

Cheong-yu, who had been lying face down with her legs crossed, suddenly raised her head and looked toward the door.

“Why Cheongyu?”

-Shii. “Little Dragon, someone is coming.”

They said that people were coming, and that the snakes scattered around detected people coming up.

Since Cheong-yu can not only summon snakes, but also see the snakes that she has scattered, it seems that she has caught people climbing up the mountain in the sight of the snakes that she has scattered here and there.

-Sia! 『Come up in a line with spears and swords!』

He flinched at the mention of people coming up, but when he heard that they were coming up in a line with spears and swords, he patted Cheong-yu’s head and made him lie down again.

Because I expected who it would be.

“It’s okay. I think I know who it is.”

-Shia?

But even though he said it was okay, Cheong-yu’s eyes kept turning towards the door.

It seemed like he kept thinking about his own mistakes.

A few days ago, he had sensed the blood cult’s assassins early on, but Qing Yu could not tell whether they were good people or bad people.

Because wild animals that have never encountered humans before do not show hostility toward humans.

Like the Falkland wolf or the dodo, which became extinct because they showed no hostility towards humans.

Before Cheongyu came to us, he lived alone in the mountains.

So, he had little hostility towards people, and even though the assassins of the Blood Cult had been coming and going nearby for several days, he seemed unable to discern whether they were good people or not.

Although I experienced something bad once because of Lady Cheongyu, since I’m with you, you may still think that most people aren’t bad.

Or maybe the original Golden Crown Kings were friendly to people.

So, in order to prepare for human threats, it may have been a case of sucking out a human soul to obtain information about the person.

Anyway, it’s my job to protect the guy’s innocence.

“I told you it’s okay.”

Let’s reassure Cheong-yu and wait a bit, then we can hear people’s movements outside the door.

The clanging of the guns was followed by the man’s shouts outside.

“Who’s inside?”

“Look. Bad people try to sneak in without telling anyone that they’ve arrived.”

-Sia.

Cheong-yu nodded with a look of relief at my words.

“You may come in.”

As I stood up and walked towards the door, shouting outside, a government official entered through the gate.

A familiar face was following me behind.

“So So Hyup, I’m here. I didn’t know you’d call me out. What a blessing.

“Oh my. I heard there were a lot of other kids… This is really amazing.”

The conductor greeted them warmly and entered the yard through the threshold, but then flinched when he saw the children playing in the yard.

He started coming towards me again.

Perhaps because he had already shown Hyang-i and Hong-dan-i to them last time, the conductor didn’t seem too surprised even though other children were playing in the yard.

Behind him, the old man who had come in first was unable to approach and was staying far away.

“Welcome, Commander. I hope I have bothered you.”

The commander approaching me now is the leader of the Blood Cult and the one who helped me during the Red Moon Sister incident.

Three days ago, I went to the government office and asked them to call him so that I could hand over the blood cult. It seemed like he came running as soon as he heard the news.

“It’s annoying, man. It’s something to be thankful for. If it’s something like this, you can call me in the middle of the night. I might not get on board because of the guys you handed over last time, but if you hand over the guys down there, I’ll definitely get on board.

Then wouldn’t it be better to run a thousand miles?”

“Haha, is that so?”

“Then, then. Huh? Are you greeting these kids?”

While they were talking, a guest came and Cho and Bin approached them, bowing their heads. The conductor’s eyes widened.

“Yes, that’s right, sir.”

“Haha, okay, nice to meet you.”

The children who greeted the conductor ran back into the yard.

And then I hung out with other kids again.

“That’s amazing. That’s amazing.”

He spoke to the conductor, who was amazed at the sight of the children’s backs.

“Sir, let’s go to the pavilion over there. Let’s have some tea and chat.”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s go.”

There was no other reason for calling him.

To hit the Odokmun right away.

To be exact, it was to attack the strongholds of the Blood Cult that had been absorbed into the Odokmun.

Information obtained when So-Jeong-Yu was absorbed by the King of Geumgwan and defected to our side, information on the leader of the Blood Sound Corps, and now information on the leader of the Blood Sound Corps.

Let’s put these three pieces of information together so that at least three things are clear.

It was a list of the exact locations of the Blood Cult and the Five Poisons, as well as the Blood Cult’s strongholds and lairs spread across the central plains.

The offensive we can take because of this is to eliminate the Blood Cult’s strongholds and stragglers spread throughout the central plains.

Since the Blood Cult and the Odokmun were beyond the border, they could not be attacked directly, so their goal was to eliminate the Central Plains strongholds and traitors who were their eyes and ears.

And the first one is here in Habuk.

According to Nanhwa, the leader of the captured Blood Cult, he dragged most of them out and there are not many people left in the Habuk stronghold, but he still intends to wipe them all out.

“This is my lover, Dang Hwa-eun of Sacheondangga, and this is Seol-pyo of Yasu Palace, my sister.”

As soon as we arrived at the pavilion, we said hello.

It was Hwa-eun and Seol who were introduced, not me.

Because I wasn’t able to introduce the children earlier.

“Oh, I get to meet the flower of my martial arts world and the person from the Beast Palace that I’ve only heard of. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Welcome, Commander.”

“nice to see you.”

After greeting them and offering them tea, the conductor immediately asked them the main topic.

The conductor took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

Are you saying that I should drag them all out and behead them again this time?

“Hmm. The tea tastes good. Okay, so this time I’ll drag those guys out and behead them all?”

It seemed like he wanted to make some quick achievements, so he answered with a smile.

“This time there is something big, so don’t be greedy and lose big.”

“Huh? A big one? Is there a big one?”

The conductor sits up straighter at the mention of something big.

Even though there was a table between us, his face was more than halfway there.

‘No, it’s too close?’

He nodded with a smiling face.

“Yes, among those we captured this time, we captured the leader of the Blood Cult Information Corps. We were able to find out the location of the Blood Cult’s Habuk stronghold.”

“Location of Habuk base!? No, you’re saying you found out their Habuk base!?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Th, where is that!?”

The conductor looks at me with an unbearable expression.

I told him about the location I had found, although his urgent voice and bright face didn’t match, as if he was 100% sure that he would be able to board if he just handled this well.

“I heard that the famous Huaxianglou in Beijing is run directly by the Blood Cultists.”

“Hwa, Hwayangru!?”

His eyes widen at the mention of Hwayangru.

“Do you know this place?”

“I know! That’s the place that Beijing’s high-ranking officials visit once a month. If what you say is true, information will leak out like water.

“Because if the courtesans whisper in their bedrooms, they’ll blurt out anything.”

I wondered why they chose Giru as their base, and after listening to the commander’s words, I was able to understand the reason.

Certainly, if a gisaeng asks a question in a flirtatious manner, there is a high probability that she will answer various questions.

Isn’t there a saying, “A pillow fight”?

“Maybe the commander too?”

“Ugh… Because of this….”

The conductor, who had been looking embarrassed by my question, quickly asked a question to clear the air.

“Is there any evidence other than a confession? Since this is a place where many high-ranking officials visit, evidence may be needed along with a confession. They may show off their connections, or they may say things like, “I’m being unfair, I’m asking for money.”

“We have arrested the carriage they rode in at Hwayangru and the two men who worked there. Of course, they will confess in front of the people. Is that not enough?”

The deposit has been prepared in advance.

The commander’s face brightened at my words.

“Oh. Really? That’s enough. I’ll go to Beijing first and prepare the high-ranking officials so that they won’t be hurt, and then I’ll strike right away. Would you like to come with me?”

The feeling I felt on my arm for a moment.

As I lowered my gaze, I saw Hwa-eun’s hand grabbing my arm.

[Let’s go together this time.]

Let’s go together.

He nodded in response to Hwa-eun’s words.

“Okay, but I can’t stay here for long, so if you make preparations and set a date, I’ll go to Beijing on that day.”

“Okay, then let’s do that.”

***

“This way!”

The Hwayangru’s Luju, accompanied by the Odokmun warriors, quickly crept into the darkness.

It was heading to the riverside along the passageway built underground in Hwayangru.

A while ago, the leader of the Blood Sound Corps arrived and said he was going to capture a person, so I helped him, but then the soldiers suddenly barged in.

“There are suspicions that Hwayangru is connected to the Blood Cult. Arrest everyone, from the gisaengs to the servants!”

It seemed as though the work had failed and our position had been exposed.

“What the heck is going on!?”

“It looks like things have gone wrong and the location of this place has been exposed!”

“Damn it. This is the base in Beijing, but it’s so useless… Let’s escape first!”

While the gisaengs blocked the entrance with their whole bodies at the shouts heard from outside, Rooju headed to the secret passage with the warriors of the Odokmun who had been dispatched for surveillance and the key blood cultists of Hwayangru, and they planned to escape through this passage and board the boat that had been prepared for them upon reaching Gangbyeonhae.

If only we had kept a boat ready for emergencies, we could have been in serious trouble.

“As soon as you exit the underground cave, a boat will be ready?”

“yes.”

After a long time of sweating, a voice is heard from behind.

“Why are there so many Wukongs?”

As the Odokmun warrior said, there were quite a few Wukongs hanging from the ceiling that was as high as a person.

“It seems that the Wukongs have settled in since it was left unattended. Be careful.”

“We are the warriors of the Odokmun. Would you be afraid of the poison of the likes of Wukong?”

I told him to be careful, but I got a cold reply.

Rouge pouted and leaned forward.

The wooden door appeared in front of the reporter after a long time.

As I pushed it, a dark space appeared.

It was a passageway connected to a small house on the riverside, so the inside of the house was visible.

“Now, just grab the boat that’s been set up outside and escape!”

Now, all you have to do is go out and run away on the boat anchored next to the house.

I ran outside, but the sunken ship came into view.

“What, what is this!?”

The voice that follows is heard.

“Hey, Blood Cult, come quickly.”

A somewhat playful tone.

When the surprised Rouge and the Odokmun warriors looked towards where the sound was coming from, they saw a boy hanging upside down on the cliff behind the house.

Just like a stone slab.

“A person hanging upside down from a cliff!?”

The boy smiled as the surprised Odokmun warrior opened his eyes wide and spoke.

“Ah, looking at your posture, you seem to have mastered the Odokmu. This is the real Seokcheokbyeokhoshinbo (蜥蜴壁虎身步). And this is the real Shaanxi Bokryeoljang (蟾蜍爆裂掌).”

-bang!

As one of the Odokmun warriors was hit by the wind blast from the boy’s two hands and fell, a small blue flame rose from above the fallen warrior’s head.
