The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 128

A Small and Cozy Garden.

If you just turn your head while walking, what you see are gumicho and stone bamboo flowers.

Oddly enough, it was these common wild flowers that filled the very well-appointed garden.

Sabak Sabak.

The woman who was looking at a flower lying in the corner of the garden for some reason steps forward, perhaps because she was tired of waiting.

While delicate hands scooped up thick soil and carefully erected a stand on the bent stem, the owner of the garden came and called for a woman.

“Godmother is still the same.”

At the words of the old man who slowly approached, the middle-aged Mibu stood up with a happy face.

“Meet the Three Kings. I apologize for entering without the permission of the owner. One fallen flower was so pitiful.”

“Please refrain from overdoing it. Aren’t you the owner of my palace? I am afraid that others will curse me.”

“no. How could I, a foolish man, do anything to the elders of the palace who are on the front lines?”

“Now stop and go in and talk.”

“yes.”

The godmother left the flower garden and followed the lord of the three palaces.

As she moved, the women who had been standing in neat rows followed undisturbed.

My wife, Grandmother Palm.

And the masters of Bunbongwon (分封院), the most elite of the inner palace and her limbs.

They were beautiful enough that everyone could call them Gyeonggukji color, but the venom inside them is hard to describe.

Outwardly, it was very weak, but the military power of Bunbongwon, which was raised with great care by Palmyeo, was not lacking even compared to the Japanese clan.

“But what are you doing? You searched all the safe houses of the main palace. I thought you were busy educating Sogoongju.”

Samgungju entered the boudoir and asked in a friendly manner, offering the tea he poured himself.

“I am busy. That the Sogoong Lord is growing well alone.”

“is that so?”

The two of them exchanging greetings seemed friendly at first glance, but there was no sincerity in the eyes looking at each other.

“What is your reason for coming?”

“Are you talking as if you wouldn’t see each other without work?”

“It’s not that I can’t see you, but there’s no reason for the owner of the Inner Palace to come all the way here without any business. What’s more, he even accompanied Bunbongwon, so how can I not be curious?”

Both of them have smiling faces, but there is a sharp blade in their words.

A thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox.

It was the perspective of the Three Kings, looking at the godmother Palm.

When was it?

Because of her appearance, their position began to diminish.

But I couldn’t express myself in front of her. It was because I didn’t want to create a distance to be bitten off.

“Lord of the Three Palaces.”

“Tell me.”

“This was pretty disappointing.”

“…”

Hiding her emotions was as easy as the chief female officer, but this time she had no choice but to frown.

The tone was soft, but full of reproach.

Each palace under the Daegung and Naegung were separate groups and were on the same position.

In other words, it meant that no one other than the lord of the grand palace could participate in the events of the lord of the three palaces.

“Heo, Godmother seems to be interfering too much.”

“is that so? But this is not my opinion.”

not your own thoughts?

What are you hiding?

When the lord of the three palaces sent a fierce glance to find out about Palmyeo’s intentions, she took out a small jade tablet from her bosom.

“that!”

Seeing the jade plaque, the face of the three palace masters was distorted, and the face of the palm army turned cold.

“Accept the command of the Master of the Three Palaces.”

“…”

The head of the three palaces frowned, but as long as she had come to convey the orders of the head of the palace, she was thoroughly the representative of the head of the palace.

“Samgungju Shangangping follows the command of the Grandgungju.”

As he knelt down, Palmer-kun smiled and continued.

“The Samgungju lost Daerang Ocheoksan and Cheongnangdae, outstanding warriors of the main palace, in order to obtain only one martial arts heart.”

It was an issue that hadn’t even been reported in detail yet. But how?

It wasn’t a small thing, but it was quite unusual for the head of the palace to fall for something that was not reported.

“Also, since you have been trampled on by the government officials who have been following the main palace, Sang Gong Pyeong, the lord of the three palaces, take your hands off everything you are doing and return to the palace as soon as possible.”

“…!”

Shang Ping’s eyes widened as he lowered his head in wonder.

It’s called a palace?

I never thought I would give such an order.

Of course, it is true that this incident provided an excuse for the enemy. Particularly, since some members of the Cheongnangdae were captured by the Tang family, it was necessary to move to another place in a hurry.

There were hundreds of safe houses in the midfield, so it was always possible to erase traces and move. In addition, if he used Sejak, he could have diverted the attention of the government.

No matter how you think about it, it’s not an overkill. When they return to the palace, all the efforts of the three palaces to break down the political alliance will be in vain.

“A return palace? What nonsense is this? So far, how much effort has the Samgung made to establish itself in various places in the Jeongmumaeng…”

“Samgungju! Are you going to protest now?”

Shang Ping’s face was horribly crumpled by her words.

“You have caused great damage to the palace by trying to obtain unnecessary deep air for personal advancement. You should be punished for the crime by cutting your head, but it is an order given in recognition of your efforts so far, so please follow it.”

Ilshin’s eternal moon.

It was nothing else but a ball of conscience.

In the meantime, the destructive power of the Yang Qing Heart Gong he had been investigating was very dangerous.

It was something that should never fall into the hands of others.

“I will obey your order.”

However, disobeying the order is like revealing that there is a different meaning.

It was the moment when her true intentions for leading the squad were revealed.

It is prepared for any unexpected protests. Even knowing that they engrave their allegiance to the Grand Archer deep in their bones.

Palmer-gun opened his eyes and glared at the lord of the three palaces for a while, then put the jade in his bosom and sat down.

“Lord of the Three Palaces, that’s all I have to say. Stop getting up.”

Sang-pyeong’s stiff face did not straighten, although she smiled brightly as if she had never done so before, who had been showing off her temper a moment ago.

“If so, what will happen to the trio of three palaces that have been laid in the political affairs?”

“They told me to take over from the inner palace.”

“…!”

It was this.

Shang Ping let out a deep sigh in his heart.

Of course, all the hard work I had put in was in vain, and I had to bring it to the inner palace in its entirety.

“Is this what you meant from the start?”

“Can it be? How dare I.”

How dare you

He smiled and smiled, but it wasn’t a correlation that he couldn’t understand.

Have you been hiding your teeth for this one time?

I couldn’t help but think so.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to hit it in so quickly. There wouldn’t have been a single mistake and the entire Three Palaces would have been eaten by her.

Her ability to swallow the things that Shang Ping had been working on for decades was terrifying. As if to laugh at his fear of being bitten off, he had already driven his teeth into the nape of his neck.

“What about me in the future?”

“From now on, while living in the inner palace, I will become a strong supporter of the Sogung Lord.”

strong supporter. It sounded nice to hear, but the meaning behind it was cruel.

Living in the inner palace means completely cutting off your limbs.

Correlation is lost.

“Right. Can I ask you one question before leaving?”

“Please speak.”

“What are you going to do with the Spirit Gong?”

At Shang Ping’s words, Prince Palm stared blankly at him.

“I don’t know why you are obsessed with deep air.”

“It’s not just deep air!”

“You still have the momentum even after doing things like that.”

“….”

“Didn’t it be said that losing even one of the four pieces is useless?”

I also know the details.

The content of Yanguisimgong was a top-secret matter that only a few knew about even within the Three Palaces.

‘It seems that this bitch planted her own person in the Three Palaces from the beginning. I should have been more vigilant.’

He blamed himself for trusting his subordinate too much, but it was already too late to regret it.

“Follow-up is probably more important than focusing on useless work.”

Shang Ping shut his mouth at her smooth smile.

Judging from this, it is obvious that they will not be looking for the Good Heart Gong.

However, that was not important to the current Sanghwangpyeong.

She was right.

It’s already too late. It would be much quicker to go back to the main palace and find a way to retrieve the stolen three palaces.

‘There will be a day when you will be caught on a leash someday.’

Shang Ping tried to calm himself down and spoke softly to Palm Liu.

“Please take care of the aftermath.”

“Don’t worry about that. I know what to do. Please don’t think useless things and devote your whole heart to helping Lord Sogung.”

“Thank you. I will not forget.”

It happened in a flower garden in full bloom on a leisurely day under the warm sun.

* * *

A month after the incident in Sichuan.

“You mean this place?”

“yes.”

“Um…”

About 100 people approached the huge manor in the darkness of the night.

The manor, which they secretly concealed and watched, was surrounded by high walls like a huge castle.

All of them were dressed in night clothes, but they did not wear masks, so when the moonlight penetrated, their faces were clearly visible.

Leading them was Mupunggae Yang So-bang, a trace of the political junta and a hero of opening.

The information obtained from the interrogation of the warriors of Cheongnangdae, who were captured by the Tang family, was truly shocking.

The person who led the Cheongnangdae was a person named Daerang, and according to the words of the Tang Wi, the military position was close to the Seven Stars of Jeongmu.

In addition, each leader, divided into six groups, had the level of courage, that is, the ability of a long-term or elder of a huge munpa.

The weakest of the warriors captured by the Tang family is already in a state of dizziness. It is superior to the most elite Hyunmudan under Jeongmu-maeng, led by Yang So-bang.

and their affiliation revealed.

triple palace.

Three, not one.

Cheongnangdae was an unmanned unit under its command.

If there are more than one unmanned army comparable to the Cheongnangdae in one palace, it means that it is a much larger organization than the Jeongmu-maeng.

Yang Xiaobang tried to find out the location of the place called Samgung, and the result.

“You mean you didn’t even know it was right in front of you?”

Deep wrinkles were dug on Yang’s face.

Uichang, another huge city in Hubei Province where the Jeongmu-maeng is located. Samgung was a huge manor located in Uichang.

He said it was dark under the lamp, and he didn’t even know there was an enemy right in front of him.

In particular, isn’t Uichang the place where the branch of the Jegal family is located and where the influence of the Jeongmu-maeng was great?

“hmm. Where is the Tang family and Zhuge’s strength waiting?”

“Jegal is waiting at the north gate with Eulmuban Yukjo, who is going to the south gate with Eulmuban Ojo.”

“Did you properly convey the mission to the children of Class Eulmu?”

“yes.”

Okdang, a disciple of Hwasan and the owner of the Hyeonmudan, answered.

“But somehow it is so quiet. Aren’t the guards at the front gate also sleeping like that?”

“Um…”

Okdang was right.

It was an organization that was not small compared to the Jeongmu-maeng.

There was no way he did not know the news that all of the giant unmanned corps like the Cheongnangdae, including a man named Daerang, had been killed or taken prisoner.

Still too quiet

Also, the wall surrounding the manor reached this level, so it was not easy to look inside. This level was so high that it was difficult to pass it over a couple of times unless you were a tolerable master.

“Dam bridgehead.”

“yes. Biheun.”

“Immediately, lead the seven teams of Eulmuban, climb over the wall, open the west gate, and secure the access road.”

“All right.”

In other places, it would have been possible to break down the door and come in, but it was never to be done here.

It was because of the owner of the manor.

Gwang Sang-pyeong, who served as a university professor in the past.

Although he retired due to political strife, he was respected by Uichang for his character and warmth.

Excessive disturbance could cause friction with the government department.

Being the head of an organization called Samgung is his hidden identity, so it had to be dealt with secretly and neatly.

That’s why I’ve been trying to pick out only the best.

“Hyeonmudanju, as soon as the door opens, send a signal to the Danga and Jegal Sega waiting at the South and North Gates.”

“yes.”

“Because you don’t know what preparations they might be making, pay special attention to the traps and quickly subdue the inside as soon as you enter.”

“yes.”

“Then let’s begin.”

At the same time as Yang Firefighting’s order was given, Eulmuban and Chiljo, who had been working together, prepared according to Dam Pyeong-ik’s gesture.

And the moment the soldiers of the Hyunmudan put their backs against the wall.

“enter!”
