Reaper of the Drifting Moon

Episode 401

“It’s difficult.”

The lawmaker looked at Hong Ye-seol’s condition and shook his head.

Hong Ye-seol’s condition was truly the worst.

Even if it wasn’t, he was seriously injured, but his body was further damaged as he used the top of the lifeboat.

I had to take the upper part of the life preserver and go to bed, but the medicine became poison as I was forced to move.

The inside of Hong Ye-seol was seriously damaged.

The doctor who diagnosed her was also one of the best doctors in Poyang Lake, but when he saw Hong Ye-seol’s condition, he raised both his hands.

“To fix the broken blood, there must be a doctor with superior skills than me.”

“Is there such a member in Kangho?”

“As far as I know…”

the senator slurred.

was saying no.

Pyo-wol looked down at Hong Ye-seol.

Hong Ye-seol was truly a man-in-the-middle. The breath is attached, but it is so precarious that you don’t know when it will break.

The lawmaker, who had noticed Pyo-wol, carefully took out something from his bosom and held it out.

“what?”

“It is poison.”

“poison?”

“yes! It was manufactured by extracting the poison of the Black Flower Plant (黑華蜘蛛), which was difficultly obtained from the Southern Manchuria. Give her a small dose when her life is at stake. Then, the poison of the black flower will trigger her birth guard.”

“Are you trying to use Admiral Lee’s principle?”

“you’re right. It stimulates the congenital organs and temporarily activates the physical signs. However, there is a limit to the amount of congenital protectors that humans are born with, so it is recommended not to take it unless it is in a really dangerous situation.”

“hmm!”

“This is all I can do with my abilities. While there is still breath left, find a better councilor than me or find another way.”

The senator bowed his head.

He was the most outstanding member of the Poyang Lake area.

Even if it wasn’t faithfulness, he had the ability to be called a great name.

It was Roh Tae-tae of the Jewon Group who introduced the member.

In response to her strict orders, a doctor with the most outstanding medical skills in Poyang Lake came running. However, it was impossible to cure Hong Ye-seol even with the doctor’s medical skills.

At best, the best he could do was to give him a poison that would trigger the premonitory.

Pyo-wol carefully put the poison of the black hwajiju into his bosom.

The lawmaker bowed his head to Pyowol and went outside.

Pyo-wol looked at Hong Ye-seol without a word.

At that moment, Hong Ye-seol’s eyebrows trembled and he opened his eyes.

Hong Ye-seol, who blinked for a moment as if he was out of focus, smiled bashfully.

“It’s still there.”

“Did you know there wouldn’t be?”

“yes! I knew you would throw it away.”

“…”

“Whoops! just joke.”

Hong Ye-seol smiled at what was funny. However, he made a lot of impressions as if he could not bear the pain.

After a while, the pain subsided a little.

Then she raised her eyebrows.

“after! Incredible. When it comes to pain, I have bones, but this kind of pain is really…”

“It’s because I overreacted. If I hadn’t taken the top of the lifeboat, it wouldn’t have been this broken.”

“I couldn’t help it at the time. It’s just a shame that I couldn’t put a knife through her neck.”

Hong Ye-seol gritted his teeth, recalling Namgung-seol.

“Do that when your body recovers.”

“Of course it should.”

Hong Ye-seol nodded.

Although her eyes were closed, she too listened to the senator.

Even if it wasn’t necessarily the words of the congressman, she herself knew best about her physical condition. I mean, that’s the worst case scenario. However, Hong Ye-seol did not despair.

I’ve lived my whole life as an assassin.

The pain and despair were familiar.

Giving up everything to this extent was unacceptable to her.

Pyowol said.

“They say there is a god nearby.”

“God?”

“okay! I don’t know how much skill he has, but that’s what Lee Jae-ja of the martial arts training class called him.”

“Yoo… Confucius Suhwan. He wouldn’t be a quack if he’d call it faithfulness.”

“i think so too.”

“If I find him, there’s a small chance I’ll get better.”

“At least it’s better than waiting for death in a daze here.”

“Then move.”

“It would be very painful to move in that state.”

“Ho Ho! What’s wrong? I’m not a Murim Chochul. It’s called an assassin. Pain is as familiar as breathing.”

Hong Ye-seol forced himself to stand up.

Even though I only moved my upper body a little, my breath reached the end of my chin, and sweat flowed like rain all over my body.

It was painful enough for everyone to see.

However, Pyo-wol watched Hong Ye-seol without any intervention.

It’s because I know that an assassin with a skill like Hong Ye-seol is extremely ashamed to receive help from someone else.

“Keugh!”

In the end, Hong Ye-seol stood up on his own.

She leaned against the wall and breathed heavily.

It was the first time in my life that I had such pain. Even when I was training to become an assassin, I had never experienced this much pain. Still, she gritted it and endured it.

She burned her revenge against Namgoong Seol and Lee Geom-han. As I recalled their faces, the pain subsided somewhat.

“Whoa!”

Then she let out the breath she had been holding back.

Pyowol said nonchalantly.

“Go out now. We must hurry to find him before he leaves.”

“all right.”

Hong Ye-seol nodded and followed Pyo-wol.

When I came out, I saw an old woman whose face was so full of wrinkles that I couldn’t guess her age.

It was Roh Tae-tae, the owner of the Jewon Merchant.

Beside her, a gusty wind was supporting her.

Noh Tae-tae asked.

“I heard from the senator. Considering her condition, wouldn’t it be better if she stayed here?”

“I know someone who can fix her. We need to find him.”

“Then I’m really glad.”

“thank you! for helping me.”

“Hee hee! It’s embarrassing to hear such a story from the messenger of the world.”

“I’ll go!”

“Go carefully.”

Noh Tae-tae said with a smile.

Pyo-wol looked into Roh Tae-tae’s face for a long time.

Noh Tae-tae was very old. It was an age where it would not be strange if he died at any time.

If we broke up like this, there was a high probability that we would never see each other again.

“I hope to see you again.”

“Hee hee! Until then, if Heaven keeps this old man alive, it will be possible. Everything depends on Heaven’s will.”

Noh Tae-tae smiled brightly.

Pyo-wol nodded and looked at Ju Seol-pung, who was beside Roh Tae-tae.

“Til we see each other again.”

“Are you coming back to Lake Poyang?”

“Someday.”

“Please be sure to stop by.”

“I will.”

“Then…”

Ju-seol-pung threw a fist at Pyo-wol.

Pyo-wol also threw a fist at him and went outside.

Outside, his horse was waiting. A small cart was attached to the horse.

Pyo-wol loaded the cart with Hong Ye-seol and drove the horse.

Roh Tae-tae and Ju Seol-pung looked at Pyo-wol’s back for a while.

When Pyowol finally disappeared from sight, Noh Tae-tae opened his mouth.

“Snowstorm!”

“yes! Great-grandmother.”

“Get out of the jewon top. The Jewon Sangdan will treat you as a person without you from now on.”

“All right.”

Despite the unexpected words, Ju Seol-pung answered without a hint of embarrassment.

Noh Tae-tae continued talking while looking in the direction where the pyowol disappeared.

“Since he is gone, both the Golden Heaven and Silver Reunion will move in earnest. There will be bloody winds blowing along Poyang Lake. To protect the top of the jewon from blood and wind, you have to lock the door.”

For people along Poyang Lake, the leaping moon was recognized as a kind of disaster. Because of that, even Jang Ho-yeon provoked Gwanmu-su to deal with Pyo-wol instead of dealing with him directly.

Yong Ha-sang, the owner of Union Reunion Association, was equally uncomfortable with Pyo-wol. Because of that, I couldn’t move the eunryeonhoe properly because I was paying attention to Pyowol.

Now that the Pyowol that oppressed them had disappeared, it was obvious how they would move.

The problem is that Ju Seol-pung was related to the Union Reunion.

Ju Seol-pung was a choice he made for the future of the Je-won guild, but if he made a mistake, his choice could bring about the downfall of the je-won guild.

“I have entrusted 100,000 nyang of gold in your name to the Golden Field. That should be enough for you to express your will.”

“Thank you for your consideration. Great-grandmother!”

“This is all this grandmother can do for you.”

“That’s enough.”

“Please spread your will to the whole world.”

“thank you.”

Noh Tae-tae held Ju Seol-pung’s hand tightly.

Ju Seol-pung felt Roh Tae-tae’s warmth for the last time and closed his eyes.

“The Ark has left.”

Deung Cheol-woong made an impression at the appearance of his subordinates rushing forward with a fuss.

“What did you say left?”

“He said. Reaper!”

“Reaper? the moon?”

“yes! He left Poyang Lake.”

“Is that true?”

Deung Cheol-woong unknowingly screamed loudly and got up from his seat.

His ferocious spirit made all the nearby bloody room warriors flinch.

“I saw it with my own eyes. I clearly saw them coming out of the top of the jewon and leaving somewhere.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes! It is the way to come back after watching it even leave Poyang Lake after following it.”

“You mean he really left Lake Poyang?”

Deung Cheol-woong stroked his chin with his hand.

His lips parted and his yellow teeth were exposed.

It will make you smile without even realizing it.

“Kuhhh! Wouldn’t it be a golden opportunity if that human being left Poyang Lake?”

The mere fact that Pyo-wol was in Poyang Lake made it impossible to breathe deeply. The fear of not knowing when he might come find him made him shrink.

It wasn’t just Deung Cheol-woong.

Many munpa and warriors around Poyang Lake were only watching Pyowol.

The situation in which many people feel fear seems funny at first glance to one individual, but no one will be able to laugh at it when they put themselves in their shoes.

“Summon all the children right now.”

“yes? Why are the kids?”

“Tell me to keep a close eye on the trend of the union association. I will give you the order after going to Cheonhaejang.”

“All right.”

Cheonhaejang was a large manor located south of Poyang Lake.

Those currently staying in Cheonhaejang were Jang Ho-yeon, the warriors of Ugeom Lodge, and the supporting troops of Geumcheonhoe.

It was a scale that could be considered a small Moorim League.

Deung Cheol-woong visited Cheonhaejang with some of his henchmen.

He looked around in the Cheonhaejang.

‘Then the army has increased.’

There seemed to be twice as many troops staying in Cheonhaejang than when they came before.

With this level of strength, it seemed like he could wipe out the union association in an instant. Unless there are other variables.

“What is that again?”

“What’s the haojapbae doing here?”

The soldiers who saw Deung Cheol-woong’s ugly appearance whispered.

In an instant, Deung Cheol-woong’s expression distorted into shame.

‘Oops! This guy or that guy is ignoring everyone. let’s see where Can you make fun of me like that even after I become the ruler of Lake Poyang?’

Deung Cheol-woong moved on, hiding his feelings thoroughly.

It was not that difficult to meet Jang Ho-yeon.

The problem is that there is a woman next to Jang Ho-yeon that he has not seen.

Eom So-so was a beautiful woman with a faint blue tinge in her eyes, as if of mixed blood.

Eom So-so and Haemu-dae followed the traces of Yoo Soo-hwan to Poyang Lake and found out that Ho-yeon Jang and the soldiers of Geumcheon-hoe were staying at Cheonhaejang.

The work of Geumcheonhoe was the work of Hwang Dokgo, so he came to Cheonhaejang like this.

Jang Ho-yeon, who had been talking with Eom So-so for a while, looked at Deung Cheol-woong.

“What is it?”

“I’m here because I have something urgent to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“The pyowol has left Poyang Lake.”

“Is that true?”

“yes! My subordinate confirmed it himself.”

“What is the trend of the union association?”

“I am figuring it out.”

“Ho! You mean that?”

“This is a golden opportunity that will never come again. Hehe!”

Deung Cheol-woong smiled darkly.

A few days after that, Geumcheonhoe and Eunryeonhoe clashed at Poyang Lake.
