Chapter 92 (2/2)

“Yuk Tae-gu greets Confucius.”

“How many people are down there?”

“Around fifty people.”

Byeok Tae-san’s eyes gleamed at this. “That’s a lot.”

“Most of them mainly collect, infiltrate, and manipulate information.”

It did seem that way. This was because they were very good at hiding their power.

“I have a few things to do.”

“Just give me the orders.”

“Take over the Nangin Market.”

“Yes, that can be done right away.”

Tae-san knew he had to lay out the basic foundation in case something were to happen. He didn’t know about the heads of each district, but it had been a long time since many of the talented nangs below them had been handed over to Yuk Tae-gu.

After he said this, Tae-san called Ma Chungsam, allowing him to enter the room.

“Come in.”

As the man carefully entered, Tae-san turned to Tae-gu.

“He is from Dongho Pyo Guk.”

“Ah… a fellowship mark… after all, that was where we belonged.”

“You knew?”

“I was just guessing.”

“It’s good that you know, anyway. Make sure the two of you work well together.”

With this, Yuk Tae-gu and Ma Chungsam bowed their heads at the same time. Once they were told, they would have to do it.

Yuk Tae-gu then opened his mouth to ask, all whilst looking at Tae-san cautiously. “But… how did you know us? We’re different from the other groups, so few people are aware.”

Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. “Who knows who?”

“As far as I know, Wolyeong Danju is the only one.”

The Wolyeongdan was an organization that managed information in the Cheonma Shinkyo. It was a place superior to any other information organization in the world.

Although Bicheondan was not under Wolyeongdan, there were other groups that belonged to the organization. In addition, Bicheondan had an obligation to actively respond in cooperating with Wolyeongdan.

Among them, Tae-gu was special.

This was because he was a direct commander of the Wolyeongdanju.

That was why he felt curious. How the hell did Tae-san know his true identity?

To Tae-gu, this meant Byeok Tae-san was a person of high authority. He did not only mention the current month, but he also phrased it in a different way.

This was just a simple question-and-answer procedure, but one must go through it to use the Temple of Heaven. If one wanted to use Tae-gu’s group, they needed to be able to answer a different question from the other non-heavenly churches.

However, Tae-san was not blocked by any questions.

Even if it was almost Wolyeong Danju, this was a believable feat.

However, Byeok Tae-san had never been part of Wolyeongdanju. Yuk Tae-gu knew this very well, because he had met him in person a few times.

Tae-san then continued to stare at Yuk Tae-gu.

In fact, there was no need for him to answer this question. Even if it were to pass, Yuk Tae-gu would still carry out Byeok Tae-san’s instructions.

With this, Tae-san gave a simple answer.

“Just…”

“Yes?”

“I just found out.”

Tae-gu looked blankly at Tae-san. How the hell was he supposed to take that answer?

After a moment, the man came to his senses and bowed slightly. “Yes, okay. Then, I’ll start doing what you ordered.”

Byeok Tae-san simply nodded and got up from his seat. His work here was over.

Just before he left the room, however, Tae-san turned back to Tae-gu. “Oh, and are there any other kids you found other than Dongho Pyo Guk?”

Yuk Tae-gu bowed his head and answered, “There are, but that is not certain.”

“That’s okay, pass the information to him,” Tae-san pointed to the ginseng standing in one corner.

Yuk Tae-gu glanced at Chungsam briefly before he bowed to Tae-san once more. “Yes, okay.”

With that, he watched Tae-san leave, immersed in his thoughts.

‘Did he just know? But how? It didn’t even seem like he knew we were here in the first place…’

Yuk Tae-gu felt as if something ridiculous had just happened, but at the same time, he knew there was something different about this.

‘Huh… Is this what this is?’

There were several anecdotes about the Cheonma, which had been floating around like a legend long ago within the Chonma Shingyo. Tae-gu felt as if what he had experienced was something very similar.

Yuk Tae-gu swallowed as he continued to watch the other man leave. This was indeed very confusing.

Seo Do-gun was staying in the largest gaekzan in Wuhan.

He was using the largest and most expensive patronage in the guest cup, and dozens of samurai were scattered around the room where he was staying, all standing guard.

All of them were excellent masters, but they were all of Go Jun-gwang, not Seo Do-gun.

Meanwhile, Seodo’s men were on their way to Wuhan.

There were only a few dozen people, so it was not easy to do something with them alone. In particular, since the current infinite situation was a complicated version of Moorimmaeng, Heukryeon, Namgungse, and Zhugeulse, Go Jun-gwang’s subordinates and Seo Do-gun’s subordinates could easily be wiped out.

And so, Seo Do-gun had no intention of letting his subordinates ever enter Wuhan.

He was planning to use it in such a way that he could easily put it in when he needed it, solve only the essentials, and then proceed to get lost. Because of this, they had no choice but to use Do-gun’s subordinates for the usual work.

The subordinates between the two were clearly different. First off, Go Jun-kwang’s subordinates were bigger in number. However, each individual on Seo Do-kun’s side was far stronger.

Currently, Seo Do-kun was sitting at a table with some simple dishes. He was drinking.

In front of him sat the man who was in charge of the infinite number of affairs here. Do-kun’s gaze was greedy.

After all, whenever an opportunity presented itself to him, he made sure to grab onto it. He was such a covetous man.

“Cheon Geum-ryeon made contact with Moorimmaeng, Heukryeon, Namgungse, and Zhuge.”

At this, Do-kun smirked. “Huh, he’s definitely talented.” His gaze had that familiar greedy expression.

Cheon Geum-ryeon couldn’t possibly have done that. It was past his ability to be able to contact all four of them.

“Now we have to move slowly. We turned our gaze slightly, so let’s go find ours. I also have to get my bonus with both.”

At this, the man’s eyes lit up.

“Are you hitting the back of those who united the Black Swords?”

“The more people, the better, right?”

The man looked straight at Seo Do-kun. Do-kun simply enjoyed his gaze and continued. “I heard that the Nangin market in Wuhan is quite large? If I catch ten, can I eat them easily?”

“Sure.”

“Then eat it all at once. I’ll head to the Black Sword’s side, so can you go to the Nangin market? Can you do this?”

“Of course.”

As the man bowed, Seo Do-gun looked at him with a satisfied expression.

There was blood in those greedy eyes.
