◈ Gangho People’s Book (10)
* * *
Great Wall. A long wall.
It clearly stretches left and right, but you can’t see the end of it. The wall runs endlessly in a grayish gray color and is swallowed up by a yellow sandstorm. No matter which direction you look, the scenery is the same.
It curved like a dragon’s body along the distant ridge, and it literally looked like it would block out the world.
It wasn’t built with one or two lives.
The public opinion of a country.
This was the opinion of some of the great sect masters who knew the realm of seclusion well.
Countless sacrifices have seeped into the stone wall, and it is said that a deeper resentment than any divine revelation is holding the stones together.
The same was true of the Great Wall above Beijing.
Geoyong Pass.
A magnificent castle stands between the long walls.
It was a place built on a terrifying scale by the hands of the imperial iron tribes, just like a gate. Its height alone reached eighty zhang. A cliff made by man.
At that moment, two people were standing on the highest watchtower in the Geoyong Pavilion. A young man in purple robes and a middle-aged man in faded silver armor were standing there.
“The stone wall was built with the spirituality contained in the fire energy of nature.”
Grand Admiral Jeon Woo-rip, a middle-aged man with omnipotent power throughout the province, spoke while carrying a backpack on his back.
Jeong Yeon-shin, who was standing next to him, just listened silently.
“I was originally a layman when it came to studying stonework, but after being appointed as the Grand Admiral of this damned land, there were many things I had to learn, even if I didn’t want to. Besides, the cavalry charge of the demons was the most magical of magical feats, capable of destroying even a general.”
“… … .”
“I heard that the royal secret formation even mobilized the power of the ‘Fire King’. Considering the scale of the situation, it seems plausible. Of course, it breaks easily against the damned Heavenly Sword.”
Looking at this sturdy height, I can no longer help but agree.
It was Jeon Woo-rip’s gossip.
Jeongyeon Shin nodded slightly.
‘A magic attack that even destroys a castle… .’
Generally, the term ‘magic’ is used in two cases.
When vicious methods are used to increase achievements, or when it is truly a study to cultivate demonic energy.
Or when calling down a very strong martial art.
It seems that Jeon Woo-rip meant the latter, and now Jeong Yeon-shin also somewhat agreed. In fact, she had just experienced Cheon Dan-kwang-gap.
Jeongyeonshin stared blankly beyond the castle walls.
A castle facing Geoyong-gwan from a distance. The slightly more angular roof and walls stand out faintly.
It was a castle that looked very far away to the naked eye, but strategically, it was incredibly close.
Now, gray smoke was rising above it, creating a rather bleak and overwhelming atmosphere.
‘…I got the dragon.’
I failed to properly kill the owner of that fortress.
Originally intended to pierce the abdomen, it ended up pushing the new form to the horizon. On the second hit, it let out a strange roar and fell into the valley beyond.
It was because Mama Kwang-yeol’s self-defense power instantly became as tough as Pan-go’s tendons in the story. It was literally like a giant’s muscle.
This is not an ordinary thing.
Even if it was a sword that was cast with the naked eye from a great distance.
“What are you thinking so deeply about?”
Jeon Woo-rip suddenly speaks.
A twinkling smile. The lips that were originally very sharp have become sad. Even conflicting emotions are faintly expressed.
The embarrassment of having encountered something a little absurd. The joy of having met someone who fits in so well.
Jeong Yeon-shin’s gaze, which had glanced at him once, returned to the front.
“…Beijing and the North. There is no easy place.”
The new sword master said.
For a moment, Jeon Woo-rip’s eyes twitched gently. A movement of insight. Even while smiling, the Ming admiral’s eyes were filled with venom.
“Hocheonseongju Mama Gwangmyeoldo is truly a troublesome guy.”
“… … .”
“Maybe it’s because I’ve lived a very messy life, but I haven’t been able to tie my life together into one meal… but when it comes to life-threatening skills like the Boshin Gyeonggi and the Hosin Ganggi, I’m no less than any peerless master. You could say that I’m a Han Chinese who has knelt before the northern martial arts world… … .”
Jeon Woo-rip concluded his speech like this.
At that moment, the seam of the silver armor he was wearing creaked at the elbow. It was clear that his murderous intent against Mama Gwangmyeoldo had risen along with the energy wave.
‘ah.’
Suddenly, Jeong Yeon-shin realized that the Grand Admiral’s armor was made of iron, like lightning.
The silver ore that was once hanging in the dragon’s formation. I don’t know where he got it, but being the leader of the imperial army meant that he would have such precious armor.
“Over there, over there, here it comes!”
“Open the door!”
Yeah, yeah!
It was a sound from below the watchtower. For a while, the soldiers stared blankly at Jeongyeonshin and the other side of the door. Some of them were opening the gate of Geoyonggwan.
Euaaaahhhhhh!
Those rushing towards them were, of course, a group of prisoners who had escaped from Hocheon Castle.
Young men and women, consisting of commoners and civilians. Their faces were pale and pale, and they had been escorted by female soldiers floating all the way from Hocheonseong to here.
A look that makes it hard to fathom what has happened.
Some of the civilians with hazy eyes raised both hands toward the sword, and the divine sword Yeore responded by spinning around in place.
In this way, Jeongyeonshin’s one and only beloved sword regained its vitality beyond recognition after leaving Mt. Mudang.
Jeong Yeon-shin looked down at them and spoke to Jeon Woo-rip.
“There was a pavilion.”

“hmm?”
“It was built from corpses. Some corpses were infused with a powerful energy, while others were infused with a faint but faintly rippling energy… It also looked like a house built using some kind of indecipherable formation.”
“ah.”
Jeon Woo-rip lets out a dry exclamation.
“This is the vision of the Northern Seeds. According to the reports of the Sejaks, they are commonly seen in every city.”
“How to celebrate?”
In response to Jeong Yeon-shin’s question, Jeon Woo-rip raises the corners of his mouth without much emotion. It was a manufactured dryness.
“It’s a method of quickly extracting the spirit of the dead to the nearby land. It’s said that this method was developed because the land is particularly barren and there are no elixirs, and they even kill each other to make things like that. Usually, those who lose in a war between clans or a battle of barriers end up in the same situation.”
After saying that, Jeon Woo-rip added, “It goes without saying that well-fed and well-raised southerners are excellent roof tile builders.
It was a humor that smelled of blood.
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt was thrust into the scabbard at his waist.
bang!
Jeongyeonshin habitually let the recoil flow down to his feet. Soon after, the blue Taegeuk that had been faintly burning around him suddenly disappeared.
Grand Admiral Jeon Woo-rip seemed to be deeply curious about it, but surprisingly, like a martial artist well-versed in the laws of the martial arts world, he did not ask about Jeong Yeon-shin’s secrets.
He just quietly blurted out a firm statement.
“In any case, it is a remarkable feat for anyone. Of course, even so, I do not have the power to take Jeong Gong’s men out of the Beijing Brain Prison… but I guess we can have a few conversations.”
– Shouldn’t you rest first?
Jeon Woo-rip’s last words rang out like a bell.
Jeong Yeon-shin was a little surprised, but didn’t show it. The opponent was someone who had been given the Emperor’s axe, ‘Hwangwol’. It wouldn’t be strange if his keen eye was sharper than any of the purple eyes of the Emperor.
Hocheonseong, now filled with smoke.
It was completely empty.
The same goes for the Slahae-gwan beyond that.
Jeong Yeon-shin truly annihilated three thousand of the Yao Clan’s masters at once.
I struck the enemy’s sword, which seemed to be well-made, with my sword, and immediately after that, I raised my sword with my opponent’s weapon.
At that time, extreme concentration was required. For a moment, I felt a pain as if all the energy in my body was being pulled out and flown away.
Right now, most of the royal guards above and below the castle walls are staring at Jeong Yeon-sin as if they were looking at the Geonling Emperor, but if Jeong Ga-dong-gong hadn’t been there, they would have had to show a rather ugly appearance.
Even though I’m standing and exercising right now, my whole body feels heavy.
‘The rotation speed of the light wheel has slowed down by about 40%. The vital energy of the acupoints and veins has temporarily lost its elasticity… This child is the only one who is okay.’
Woof-
Jeong Yeon-shin asked Jeon Woo-rip while caressing Yeo-roe.
“Is there a map of the Northern Powers in this barracks?”
“Of course. It is a national treasure that is treated as top secret wherever it is located.”
“Please give me one.”
“yes?”
Jeon Woo-rip’s eyebrows rose. It was by no means a meaningless question. If Jeong Yeon-shin were to bite back here, he meant that he would pretend not to have heard it.
But Jeongyeonshin didn’t do that.
“Please provide a copy that can be burned later.”
He said.
Clink-
The sound of chains rang out from the silver armor worn by the Grand Admiral, and Jeon Woo-rip’s question followed immediately.
“Are you trying to call it a secret investigation?”
“I don’t know yet. However, if the Grand Admiral goes out, I am willing to follow the expanded military camp naturally.”
The territory of the Ming Empire expands.
If there are so many things to protect, the royal family will have no choice but to let go of Bukgung Ah and Wi Ji-geuk.
Yeouicheonju and Cheonryongdaeju. In Jeongyeonshin’s eyes, they may be somewhat fierce or timid, but they were seniors who were absolutely necessary for the people of the world.
Jeon Woo-rip shrugged.
“Of course, in the lands that were taken away in the North, there are civilians from the South who are living there, furnished with the tiles of the ‘corpse house’. As prisoners of war. However, if Jeong Gong moves like this, what will happen to His Majesty the Emperor’s edict?”
It was an awkwardly formal tone of speech compared to when they first met, perhaps because he was trying to strictly distinguish between public and private matters. However, Jeong Yeon-shin’s attitude remained unchanged.
“You must have heard of the Battle of Ip-Hwang-Dae.”
“Of course.”
“The current Central Plains martial arts world is not as dangerous as it used to be. Also, the current calm is due to the mysterious actions of the northern warriors.”
Then, Jeongyeonshin glanced into space, as if she was talking to someone who wasn’t there.
In reality, he was locking eyes with the invisible wind.
Just as she had once encountered the spirit of the Heavenly Horse in the Hosin Ganggi Cheonma Shingap, at this moment, Jeong Yeon-shin felt the rich breeze unique to Beijing. Naturally, it was the function of the upper chamber.
“… … .”
Jeon Woo-rip opened his mouth with an expression that had suddenly become indifferent. He was a man who had a clear line between personal interests and public affairs.
“… So is it okay now? Because the noble Emperor has lost all justification?”
“If Your Majesty permits, I will first familiarize myself with the map. Am I not qualified to do so?”
From black, you can see the map of the entire Central Plains, and purple, you can even interfere with military strategies. It goes without saying that it was the representative of the New Sword Master.
“You’re talking like the roof of a palace. It looks good no matter where you hang it…”
A middle-aged grand admiral.
The eyes, wrinkled with the smell of blood from the North, slightly curved. It was as if he had received a long-awaited word and action. Jeon Woo-rip then opened his mouth. In a brief moment, the madness of the battlefield flashed across his face several times.
“Okay, first of all. I’ll give you one.”
A moment from that.
Jeong Yeon-sin was well versed in the geography of the North.
It was the result of covert cooperation in the Grand Admiral’s barracks.
Right after.
Flash!
For a moment, a bright blue light flashed through his eyes. At the same time, Jeongyeonshin’s voice was mixed into the wind.
―Some time ago, the Empress Dowager’s palace was put into storage in the royal palace.
―… … .
―Do not let me inform Your Majesty of my trip to the north. You should look after the common people, not the imperial power. If you want to save face, please issue the edict first. I am sorry, but I will give you one day’s notice.
Saaaa …
In an instant, a sharp wind scratched Jeongyeonshin’s cheek in three letters.
Like preserving blood.
It means that he is no different from Jin Myeong-jo. It was a phrase that gave Jeong Yeon-shin incomparable confidence.
‘Is the Vice-Lord in the Imperial Palace? If so… … .’
I am still right.
The swordsman of a country thought about the geography of the northern powers in his head. The map was striking like a sword in his mind.
