Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 329

After the commander of 329
disappeared with the Odokmun and Blood Cult guys, Hwaeun and I headed to my brother’s house.

We had a brief chat at the riverside, but since we couldn’t talk in detail there, we decided to move to my brother’s house to talk in detail.

Because if you want to attack the capital, Yeongcheonbu, you need to hear Jiryong’s opinion.

-Clang. Clang.

Since there are still green onions and radish, I cannot walk in broad daylight, so I take the carriage my brother brought and head to my brother’s house.

The view of Beijing through the carriage window was the most splendid city I had ever seen.

The road to my brother’s house was a very busy street, and there were many shops selling fruits I had never seen before, timber shops selling colorful silk, and blacksmith shops.

After all, Beijing was originally the capital of Central Plains.

Although it wasn’t the capital city where I was reincarnated, it seemed like a major city competing for supremacy.

It was when I was absorbed in the view outside the window.

The scent and voice of the grass heard in my heart.

『-Tsuru! (Dad, there’s someone rolling over there!)

-Tsurut! (That guy is spitting fire! Do people also have the same poison?)

‘Breathe fire?’

‘You’re spitting fire?’

When I turned my head, I saw two children peeking their heads out from under the curtain at the back of the carriage and looking outside.

I thought about covering it with a cloth just in case people saw it, but I forgot that thought for a moment as I heard the innocent conversation, and Hwa-eun and I looked outside through the gap in the cloth.

Then, through the gap in the cloth the children were looking at, they saw people tumbling in place or breathing fire with oil in their mouths.

I looked to see what the children were so surprised at, and it turned out to be acrobats.

As I wandered around the central plains, I occasionally saw people performing acrobatics on the streets like a circus and earning money. I was amazed at seeing them.

‘Our kids are just kids, right?’

Although they have grown a lot in body and mind in less than a year since they started eating naedan, they are still lacking in things like common sense.

Maybe it was because the children’s hearts were still pure, but they were amazed to see them show off their talents.

“‘Oh, they’re called acrobats. They’re people who show off their skills and earn money.'”

It was when Hwa-eun was affectionately explaining to the curious children.

A surprised cry from someone is suddenly heard.

“Huh!? Th, that’s it!”

‘what?’

When we looked in the direction of the sound of someone shouting, we saw the person performing tricks on the ladder pointing in our direction with a surprised expression on his face.

I can definitely feel that he saw the children because his eyes met mine.

As they quickly tried to cover the carriage with the tarpaulin, the man on the ladder was startled and fell to the floor, turning the acrobatic show into a pandemonium in an instant.

-thud!

“Whoa! Someone fell!”

“Oh my. What’s going on? Are you okay?”

“Over there, over there!”

The man who had fallen to the ground pointed at our carriage with his finger, so I carefully covered the gap in the carriage’s fabric and asked Brother Gyu-seong in the front seat.

“Brother, I think we should go a little faster. I think someone is spying on the kids through the gap in the cloth.”

“Okay? Okay. Get out of here quickly.”

As the curtain closed and the carriage moved quickly forward, the children’s voices of disappointment could be heard.

『-Tsururut. (I wanted to see more···.)

-Tsurut. (Me too···.)』

Perhaps he wanted to see more acrobatics.

But you know, there are kids who can’t be taken out.

He said this while patting the children’s heads with an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry. I’ll work harder so that you guys can go outside freely soon.”

Hearing the children’s sad voices, I felt that I had to become famous as soon as possible.

If I become famous by the nickname of Cheonha Dokmul Papa as soon as possible and spread the culture of companion poison throughout the Central Plains, it will be okay to take my children outside.

But I still hear voices saying they are sad.

『-Tsuru···. (Eeeek···. Acrobatics.)

-Tsururur···. (Acrobatics···.)』

When the children said they were sad, Hwa-eun didn’t know what to do, so she clapped her hands and said.

-match!

“Oh! Then when we get home, should I ask Dad to show it to me?”

-Tsurut? (Dad?)

-Huh? (Dad?)

‘Of course. I think Dad will do better?’

-Tsurut. (Really?)

‘Well then. Right. Little Dragon?’

‘Well, then. Of course, I can do that with my eyes closed.’

The children’s faces are full of anticipation.

Eventually, I arrived at my brother’s house and had to do some tumbling before I could even say hello to Peng Gaju.

『-Tsururur! (Amazing!)

-Tsurut! (Awesome!)』

It was nothing special, but the kids really liked tumbling. At that moment, a familiar, bandit-like voice was heard.

“But what on earth are the cows and cows doing here?”

He heard that I had arrived, but when I didn’t come inside, the man who came out to greet me looked at me with an expression on his face as if he was wondering what I was doing.

I was a little embarrassed, but seeing the happy expressions on the children’s faces made me think that way.

Originally, my father was sometimes a talented clown and such.

***

“There was a fairly large blood sect stronghold in Yeongcheon-bu?”

Ji-ryong asked back with a surprised expression after hearing Hwa-eun’s long explanation.

“Yes. I heard from the leader of the Blood Cult Information Corps that it is the largest in terms of scale.”

As the saying goes, “the darkness is under the lamp,” in the central plains’ capital, Yeongcheonbu, there was currently the largest stronghold of the blood sect.

In terms of military power and scale, the original stronghold near Muhan, where the Murim Alliance was located, was the largest, but it was swept away by the Murim Alliance’s suppression, so now the largest place is Yeongcheonbu.

Although it is not very powerful in terms of force, it is said to be the largest in scale.

“There is also a stronghold of the Odokmun… These guys are spread out like this in the Central Plains.”

There was even a stronghold of the Odokmun nearby.

Although neither of them were that famous, they each ran a fairly large-scale kiryu and smut shop.

Perhaps because it was the capital city, they each operated it without knowing about it, as it was a place where they could make a lot of money and share information about the people coming and going.

I heard that both are operated by Odokmun now.

“However, if we were to attack the Blood Cult stronghold in Yeongcheonbu, it would be impossible with our own strength.”

Ji-ryong looked over the information that Hwa-eun and I had written down and organized, and he said that it was impossible for them to do it on their own.

I nodded too.

I had also thought that it was impossible for us to do it alone.

“Yes, I guess.”

At those words, Paeng Ga-ju, the father of Gyu-seong, spoke loudly.

“It’s not that far away, so take one of our Pangga’s armed forces. We can just take them and destroy them all.”

The story is about taking Pengga’s military force and beating them up and destroying them according to Pengga’s method.

Ji-ryong answered those words with an embarrassed expression.

“Do you not know, my lord? Within the Yeongcheonbu, martial artists are not allowed to use martial arts without permission.”

“Oh, really? Damn it. So that’s why those rat bastards settled in Yeongcheonbu.”

That was a story I heard from Hwa-eun too.

There is a story that in Yeongcheon-bu, people in the martial arts world cannot use martial arts.

Since this is where the Emperor is, unauthorized persons are absolutely prohibited from using martial arts.

Since martial arts cannot be used indiscriminately in the capital, there are no branches of the Murim Alliance in the capital.

Because having so many martial artists gathered inside the capital could pose a great threat.

That’s why I planned to attack the capital’s stronghold, and when Oryongsambong returned, I planned to ask Jiryong if he had any good ideas.

After thinking for a while, Ji-ryong asked his sister-in-law.

“Your Majesty, could you please help me with the coffin?”

“Oh, in that case, I’ll find out through my father. My family elders are also in the military, so I think it’ll be helpful.”

Come to think of it, the evil family even advanced into the military.

Certainly, my sister-in-law’s connections would be helpful in the capital.

The martial artists are wary, but the military is responsible for the defense and security of the capital.

If you think about it, there was another princess who would definitely be of help, but it would definitely take a month or two just to send and receive a letter, so it would be difficult to get help from her right away.

So the best thing right now is my sister-in-law’s help.

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

“No. Little Sosukja, of course I should help you.”

When I thanked my sister-in-law with gratitude, Ji-ryong was still looking at the list I had given him.

I asked him because he had a look on his face like he was a little bothered by something.

“What’s wrong, Ji-ryong? You look a little displeased.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s because of what you said earlier, the person who runs the Odokmun branch is also a eunuch in the palace.”

That’s information I also verified.

The story was that the owner of the restaurant that was the stronghold of the Odokmun was a low-ranking eunuch.

That’s the information I got from Sojo Cheongyu. The way Odokmun makes his mark in the Central Plains is by using Go to treat incurable patients, and in return, they bring them into their organization.

It was said that he was a person who was so absorbed that he became a person of Odukmun.

But since he’s a low-ranking eunuch, I don’t think it’ll be a big problem, right?

I don’t know about high-ranking officials, but it wouldn’t be a big problem for low-ranking eunuchs.

Since my sister-in-law’s connections were high-ranking military officials, there was no need to worry about it being a big problem.

“I checked that too. He’s a eunuch, but he’s not a very high-ranking eunuch. I don’t think it’ll be a big problem…”

Ji-ryong thought about my words for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

“I guess I was thinking too much. Well, for a eunuch of this rank, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

Ji-ryong was a very meticulous person, although he had many worries.

I smiled back at him.

***

After finishing the meeting in Pangka, I quickly returned to the house I had rented.

When I told them in the group chatroom when I would arrive, the children who had been looking up at the sky in the yard must have been checking our return, and when I got down to the yard with Hwa-eun, they all rushed over.

『-Tsuru! (Dad!)

-Kyuit! (Installment!)

-Beep! (Beep!)

The children came running to greet me and Hwa-eun like they were greeting their master who had just come home from work.

My sister came running out of the kitchen.

“Little dragon! Hwaeun!”

Judging from the soot all over her face, my sister must have been cooking rice that she couldn’t even eat.

Hwa-eun had left behind some rice balls and dumplings, but it was clear that she had run out and gone into the kitchen herself.

“Sister, what about your face?”

“Ahaha. I was trying to cook something I’ve never made before. By the way, did you finish your work well?”

“Yes, I met Brother Peng there and discussed future plans.”

“So, are we going to Yeongcheon next?”

“Yes, my brother said he would leave right away and come this way, so he will arrive in a few days.”

Our destination, Yeongcheon-bu, is located south of Jeongju, between Gaebong and Nanyang.

To the left was the area surrounding the Sung Shan Shaolin Temple.

Fortunately, it is just a short tributary from the main stream of the Yellow River, so you can use a boat or a gold mine to get there.

So, my brother and his party are planning to leave Beijing, join us here, and move together.

When I just told her my plan, my sister said something as if she remembered something.

“Ah, Soryong, right after you left, a letter from that person, Geumgiryong, arrived. The person delivering the letter said that it was fortunate that the Yellow River was there and delivered the letter.”

“Is this a letter?”

“Yes. If you read the letter, you will see that the ship has been completely built.”

“Oh. So quickly?”

I wondered what kind of letter it was, but it was the letter I had been waiting for.

It had been a little over two months since I had parted ways with Geumgi Ryung, but news had already arrived that the ship had been completed.

They said that they would hurry things up by sending a lot of people, but as expected from a merchant, he was a reliable person.

“I was worried that I would be noticed if I went near the capital on a bamboo boat, but it turned out well.”

My heart raced at the news that the hull of Geumdo’s aircraft carrier had just been built.

That’s because we were told that our ship’s remodeling was finished.
