Episode 1349 He says he will take his life. (4)
“This way.”
Hu Jiaming spoke briefly. Yugong looked at him with his face set. At that moment, the attention of everyone around was focused.
‘Damn it.’
It was a moment when my hopes of being able to do nothing until the chase was over as I was holding my breath like I was dead were completely shattered.
“Can’t you hear?”
As Hu Jiaming urged, the atmosphere around him suddenly became cold. As if he would cut off your head immediately if you ignored the soldier’s words again.
Yugong bit his lip and forced his feet away. Hu Jiaming’s sunken eyes glanced at Yugong.
“What do you think?”
“⋯⋯What do you mean?”
“I won’t forgive you if you change your mind. “That’s inefficient.”
“⋯⋯.”
“There is one thing I want to check. “Do you intend to cooperate or not?”
Yugong’s fingertips trembled slightly.
Hu Jiaming’s eyes were as indifferent and cold as ever, but Yu Gong, standing in front of them, could not think that way.
It seems like those sunken eyes are speaking to him. Since you already know everything, don’t even dare to make a fuss.
“What do you think?”
When Yugong’s lips were asked again, his lips twitched. But the words could not come out and crumbled in his mouth.
Hu Jiaming stared at Yugong with emotionless eyes and then turned his head.
“I remember there was one more person?”
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to the person behind them.
“Ah…”
As his eyes suddenly turned back to me, Go Hong, the priest of Yugong, felt his shoulders twitch. The color drained from her face in an instant.
“Bring it to me.”
“yes.”
The Ten Thousand Bands grabbed Gu Hong by both shoulders and dragged him to Hu Jiaming. Go Hong looked back at his captors with a white face, but he could not muster the courage to resist and was dragged along helplessly.
dump.
Those who dragged Gao Hong threw him out in front of Hu Jiaming. Go Hong, who had fallen to the ground, forced his head up.
“Well, I…”
The moment Yu Gong’s eyes met Hu Jiaming’s eyes, Yugong’s face turned pale.
“I don’t force anything.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But if you are here, you must follow Safa’s ways. “The only way to save one’s life in Sapa is to prove one’s usefulness.”
“Well, I…”
Go Hong’s shoulders trembled. How could you not know what you want? They seemed dead, but I was paying close attention to their movements and actions.
What they want from him is to sell Haenam’s death penalty.
The reason he came here was simply to survive. And it was to save the people of his hometown.
He was not the one who decided that even the death penalty could be sold out in the process. It was a meritorious work.
“How is it?”
My lips became dry. Go Hong swallowed his dry saliva and opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“W-what are you talking about… I am…”
“Can you prove the value of your life?”
Hu Jiaming’s intimidating gaze pressed down on Gu Hong.
Gohong’s gaze went somewhere without me knowing. It was an instinctive glance that could not be helped even with a strong will.
Hu Jiaming did not miss Gohong’s instinct to struggle to survive.
“There is something.”
Go Hong’s eyes trembled as if an earthquake had occurred as he was recognized with just that brief glance. Hu Jiaming spoke slowly.
“Then it’s simple. There is only one of two things left. “Either cooperate and survive, or remain loyal and die.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Of course, not only you, but also those who remain in Haenam.”
“Ugh…”
My whole body started to become damp with cold sweat.
Since being brought to Hu Jiaming, no harm has been done to his body.
But now it seemed like it would be better to have my whole body chopped up. Physical pain would be nothing compared to enduring words that are stronger than the blade of a knife.
“I gave myself enough time. “You decide.”
“I…”
Gohong’s pale lips smiled.
The desire to live, but the will not to sell out those who were once colleagues like this.
Those two things that I couldn’t throw away were making a mess in my head.
“Well, I…”
Gohong’s eyes wandered here and there, not knowing where to go. Many people’s eyes are still focused on him.
Hu Jia-myeong’s indifferent gaze, Man In-bang’s angry gaze, and even Yu Gong’s gaze, whose thoughts we can’t quite figure out.
For a moment, I felt dizzy. The world was spinning, and something disgusting rose in my stomach.
“Well, I…”
When Go Hong was unable to make a final decision, Hu Jiaming cut him off without any hesitation.
“This guy is useless. “Kill him.”
“yes!”
As soon as the order was given, the Maninbangdos on the left and right drew their swords. Gu Hong, knowing that this was not just a threat, widened his eyes and hurriedly shouted.
“Now, just a moment, just a moment! “I, I…!”
Paaaat!
However, the swords wielded by the Maninbang swords flew towards his neck without any hesitation.
“stop!”
At that moment, someone shouted loudly, as if in a seizure.
The sword, which was flying in with a blue sword, stopped right against Gohong’s neck.
Grumbling.
A trickle of blood flowed from the cracked skin.
“I will tell you.”
It was Yu Gong who shouted. He was biting his pale lips and closing his eyes tightly.
“Death penalty!”
Hu Jiaming’s blade-like gaze turned to Yugong.
“I have no intention of giving any time.”
“No, the death penalty is not allowed. execution!”
When Go Hong urgently tried to stop him, Yu Gong opened his eyes and looked at him blankly. When the sword touched Gohong’s neck, a cool feeling began to form again.
Yugong eventually spoke, pointing to the large tree in front.
“excuse me.”
My fingertips were trembling slightly. It was a sight that showed how complicated his mind was, but no one paid any attention to his heart.
“execution! Stop… stop!”
“There is a pattern carved into that tree.”
Go Hong bit his lip until it bled. Hu Jiaming glanced at his reaction. Just looking at that, it didn’t seem like Yugong was lying.
On the top of the large tree that Yugong pointed to, there was a faint pattern engraved on it that was difficult to find unless you looked carefully.
“What does it mean?”
“It’s hard to explain in words.”
“The reason is?”
“execution!”
Go Hong shouted with a pained face. However, Yugong seemed to have already resigned himself and revealed without hiding what he knew. It would be impossible to lie about the family name anyway.
“That is the sword mark of Chilchoshik, one of Haenam’s Jangpungparang sword techniques.”
“Hmm?”
“The sword… No, even Tao is fine.”
When Yu Gong held out his hand asking for weapons, the Maninbangdo turned to Hu Jiaming as if asking for permission.
“Give it to me.”
“yes.”
They held out the sword they were holding. Yu Gong held the untrained sword in his hand and exhaled for a moment. And soon he deployed a sword with no internal power into the air.
“And this is how the herbivorous meal ends.”
When the brief and light ceremony was over, the end of the path pointed in one direction. Everyone’s eyes turned to the end. The end of the path pointed to a forest.
“Do you understand?”
“This is the direction the sword points when the herbivory ends…”
He nodded as if he understood the household name.
“You put quite a bit of thought into it.”
It’s certainly reasonable.
No matter how elaborate a password is, it is bound to be broken someday. And if you use a password that the other person can easily figure out, it can cause indescribable fatal damage.
However, using this method, it is difficult to find out the meaning of the password. Because only Haenam’s disciples who learned Haenam’s sword can interpret it.
‘A prestigious name is a prestigious name.’
Each group will have people who can clearly check and interpret this code. They are sharp-eyed enough not to miss these traces even while moving quickly.
Hu Jiaming nodded slightly and asked again.
“What is the distance?”
“I don’t know.”
Yugong shook his head.
“Basically, this mark is used as the starting point of ten ri, but this may change depending on the time. “I don’t know how they agreed…”
“But if you proceed in this direction, the next sign will appear.”
“exactly.”
“Otherwise…”
Hu Jiaming stared at Yugong with cold eyes.
“You may meet those who are ahead of you.”
The slight hostility in Yu Gong’s eyes flowed out helplessly at those words.
“⋯⋯It will be so.”
“In other words, we need to keep you alive in order to find them. Am I right?”
“⋯⋯.”
“I thought you were explaining it too kindly.”
Hu Jiaming quietly nodded.
“good night.”
“⋯⋯.”
“However, I will not allow you to waste time. “He seems like a smart guy, so you can probably guess why I brought so many people with him, right?”
“⋯⋯I know.”
“Take the lead.”
Yugong nodded silently. He sighed and was about to move forward when he suddenly saw someone glaring at him. It was Gohong. His eyes were very bloodshot.
‘Are you holding a grudge?’
Anyway, just by coming here, you have become a traitor who sold out the sect. Now, what on earth are you sacrificing your only life to protect?
If I had had that spirit in the first place, I wouldn’t have come this far.
Seeing him not have the courage to risk his life or betray the monks, but just looking for someone to blame, filled me with indescribable disgust.
Must survive.
That was the only goal Yugong had left now.
Having thrown all his pride as a Haenam scholar and the path he had dreamed of into a pile of manure, all that is left is his life and the safety of his family members remaining in Haenam.
But even so, Yu Gong could not bear to look Gu Hong in the eye. He wanted to glare at him with venomous eyes, but strangely enough, he avoided eye contact first.
“Go ahead.”
“⋯⋯Yes.”
Hu Jiaming curled up the corners of his mouth as he watched Yugong grit his teeth and run forward.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
Others followed Yugong’s footsteps and delved into the thick forest.
‘Certainly the move you prepared was fatal, Hwasan Swordsmen.’
However, it was clear that Cheongmyeong also did not know. The fact that they had prepared an unexpected hand here as well.
“You wouldn’t expect a Seungnyang to behave like a dog. Even if it’s you in the world.”
It doesn’t matter even if you expect it. Because this battlefield no longer belongs to Hu Jia’s name.
Even if he gets hit by that guy again, the outcome won’t change.
The flow of this battlefield was squarely in the hands of the one who was supposed to hold everything.
A strange heat flashed in Hu Jiaming’s eyes.
I wanted to check that too. No, because of that, I wanted to check even more desperately.
Hwasan Sword Association. No, plum sword demon. How will Yeonju be able to trample on an overwhelming monster that he could not even use his hands on?
What will happen when the loser, who has shown incomprehensible favor to the Plum Blossom Demon, finally pulls out the buried sword?
