Episode 83. Last Word
Then, Bang Sodog, who was suddenly embarrassed, spoke stuttering.
“Ha. “What can I do?”
At that time, I heard the sound of something flying.
Surprised, Bangsodog saw that it was a leather pouch.
Han Ibi really threw it as she said.
Bang So-dong waved one hand and snatched it.
Ebi Han said.
“You must put an end to past grudges. From what I saw earlier, it seemed like the two of you had a lot in common…”
asked Bangsodog.
“Then what about you?”
Han Ibi answered with a smile.
“I’ll be here to help you keep your men out of the way.”
“Helping? how.”
“I know it when I see it.”
At that time, Yun Ui-seol said.
“Don’t be fooled. That guy is playing a trick on us now…”
Swish.
Nangabong came in with all his might and split the air.
Bangsodog said with a big smile.
“Does not matter. doesn’t care. “It doesn’t change the fact that you’re going to die anyway.”
Then he glanced at Han Ibi and continued speaking.
“If that guy betrays me… Ugh, I’ll catch that guy, skin him, and make a bag for him.”
Wow. Even though I was
acting like I was relaxed, I was a little worried.
Once again, a fierce battle between Room Disinfection and Yun Ui-seol unfolded.
However, because they were so close… it didn’t seem like the outcome would be easy.
Suddenly, Yun Ui-seol spoke to his two subordinates.
“Catch that guy!”
This refers directly to Han Ibi.
Han Ibi was a bit embarrassed and pretended to throw the book into the air.
“uh? “I really throw!”
Yun Ui-seol snorted and said.
“Does not matter. Because my goal is to destroy it. I’m thankful that I can avoid the hassle. “I’m going to kill you too.”
Oh?
This… if this happens, the scenario won’t work…
Then I heard the room disinfectant’s booming voice.
“You bastard! “If you really throw it, I’ll kill you first, so do it yourself!”
‘It’s starting to get twisted…’
Yun Ui-seol said to his subordinates.
“ruler! Come find the book. Of course, you can throw it off the cliff.”
Then the two men approached Han Ibi at the edge of the cliff.
At that time, the room disinfectant who was very tired also hurriedly spoke to his subordinate.
“no! You too, go and get the book. “You must bring it back in good condition.”
So Bang So-dong’s subordinate, who had received the order, was also approaching the cliff where Han Ibi was.
This is how a strange alliance was formed.
Two of Yun Ui-seol’s subordinates and one of Bang So-dong’s subordinates.
They were slowly approaching Han Ibi with the common goal of obtaining books while keeping each other in check.
This is why Han Ibi’s threat to destroy the books no longer worked.
‘Shit.’
Han Ibi thought as she cursed in her mind.
‘I thought it was a good idea that would never come out…’
That was then.
One of Yun Ui-seol’s subordinates swung his sword at Han Ibi.
‘Eek.’
Han Ibi barely escaped Geomse from a narrow cliff.
Another man’s sword stabbed in again.
‘Chang!’
Han Ibi turned it around with Han Jo’s sword.
Then, this time, his subordinate, who was as big as Bang So-dong, also swung a huge sword and threatened Han Ibi.
‘Kang!’
Han Ibi, who struggled to defend herself by keeping her body in balance, shouted at Bang So-dong’s large subordinate.
“Hey you idiot! Even if you kill me, do you think these two idiots here will leave you alone?”
Only then did the giant seem to have figured out the situation and turned his sword towards Yun Ui-seol’s subordinates.
Deep.
But it was too late.
One of Yun Ui-seol’s more cunning subordinates secretly turned around and plunged a knife into the giant’s back.
Even in the midst of a fierce battle, Yun Ui-seol saw this and spoke with joy.
“Good job. Assam.”
Bang So-dong’s face was contorted in the opposite way, but…
“That… that idiot…”
Anyway, now there was nothing for Yoon Ui-seol’s two subordinates to be rough with anymore.
They now launched a fierce attack against Han Ibi.
The width of the cliff where Han Ibi was located was very narrow.
It was not enough to move even one person.
Moreover, being bombarded with attacks like this…
‘I’m going crazy. It looks like it will fall if you scratch it. wait.’
At that time, a thought suddenly passed through Han Ibi’s mind.
‘It’s falling… it’s falling!’
It was like that.
A method of walking that continues within a limited, narrow space.
Isn’t that the core of the ‘Bagua Book’?
Whether you fall off a cliff or get stabbed by an opponent, the principle is the same.
Han Ibi let the other person come closer.
‘Bagua Bobeopchang.’
Han Ibi unfolded the Bagua Bobeop Chang.
A green light appears as if it was waiting.
The windows of the hand and liver lit up.
In the midst of a fierce attack, Han Ibi pushed back the two people’s swords at the same time with maximum strength.
Then he disturbed the movement by stepping on the steps between the hands and liver.
An attempt to pull the body out towards the space that appeared at the same time.
However, since the bandits were tough on Gangho, they could see through their intentions and soon blocked the retreat route.
Give strength to your whole body.
‘That’s right. This is the sea I wanted!’
Han Ibi smiled to herself and took Geon and Gon’s steps at the same time.
Then, he raised both fingers and pushed the two people with a lot of force in the same direction.
So… to the cliff….
“Ugh!”
“help me!”
The two people were instantly sucked down the cliff.
‘It’s a success!’
He defeated his opponent without shedding a single drop of blood or sweat.
The moment Han Ibi turned around to run away with this momentum.
‘omg!’
Han Ibi was startled.
Before you know it, the two bandit leaders who were fiercely fighting are blocking the escape route.
Bangsodog said with a chuckle.
“As I live, I get to hear all your stories.”
On the other hand, Yun Ui-seol’s face looked very gloomy.
It was probably because of the subordinates who fell off the cliff.
In any case, they followed Yun Ui-seol’s opinion and blocked Han Ibi’s escape route.
The important thing was not the fight, but the unknown ‘book’…
As things turned out like this, Han Ibi couldn’t help but feel nervous.
The level of martial arts skills of these thieves was obvious… but the level of these thieves was much higher.
If you were attacked by two people on the cliff at the same time…
it could have resulted in basic serious injuries and up to death.
Of course, there was no time to think deeply.
This is because the two people attacked Han Ibi at the same time.
Kang kang kang.
Since the two were quite experts, the Bagua steps were not enough.
Besides, haven’t they already witnessed Han Ibi’s method once?
Bangsodog spoke as if he realized something at that time.
“You rat… you were targeting the book from the beginning.”
However, Han Ibi was in a position where she could not speak.
This is because Yun Ui-seol’s sword, as sharp as Bangsodog’s Nangabong, came pouring in.
In such a narrow space, the power of a thin sword with a long reach was terrifying.
Han Ibi decided that she would not be able to endure even a few seconds of eating while being cornered like this, so she shouted loudly.
“hey! Your men aren’t dead! “There’s space down there!”
“What?”
It was true.
There was some height, but there was space at the bottom of the cliff.
Two of his limbs might have been broken, but he probably wouldn’t have actually died.
Yun Ui-seol instantly lowered his body into a defensive posture and looked down at the bottom of the cliff.
‘It’s your last chance. First of all, we must preserve our lives.’
At the same time, Han Ibi gave a big blow to the room disinfection stick and suddenly…
whizzed.
It’s like a slow motion scene.
The book left the cliff and was swimming in the air.
Han Ibi took advantage of the moment and threw the book.
“No way!”
As expected, as if in slow motion, Bangsodog threw himself off the cliff and caught it.
Then I heard the sound of Nangabong being slammed into the cliff.
That’s all that Han Ibi confirmed.
He started to run with all his might, stretching out his arms.
Even though I couldn’t complete the system’s quest, isn’t life the most important thing?
‘Oh my, what a waste. That must have been a really nice treasure….’
Maybe it was a hundred and eight years old…
Putting her regrets aside, Han Ibi started running again towards the direction she came from.
Fortunately, the footprints were deeply dented along the road they had come from.
‘Oh my. If it hadn’t rained, I would have gotten lost.’
It wasn’t easy to use a light attack in the rain, but he sprinted with all his might anyway.
The good news among the misfortunes was that the tiresome rain was weakening a little.

Despite the first aid provided by Jong Ri-hyuk and So Eun-ri, Cheon Shin-woo’s spark of life was rapidly fading away.
Too much blood was shed.
He said while breathing hard.
“Because the transportation failed… our Yeosunpyo Bureau… the Yeosunpyo Bureau… will perish…”
Jong Li-hyeok said.
“No, the Yeoseonpyo country is a prestigious country competing for supremacy in the Central Plains, but what does that mean because it has lost one of its targets?”
Then Cheon Shin-woo said with tears in his eyes.
No, it would have been spilling.
Although it was impossible to tell because the rainwater had washed it away.
“My… my greed… we ruined the Yeosunpyo country that we had built up over five generations…” It was
then.
“brother! brother! “What are you doing all this time?”
Han Ibi’s voice was heard from behind.
As soon as she discovered Han Ibi, it was Yeo Nan-ju who spoke first.
“What were you doing that brought you here now?”
Han Ibi was in a bad mood and burst into tears.
“What are you doing here? “I’ve already passed the remaining porridge crisis, but I’m just hanging out here!”
At that time, So Eun-ri frowned and put a finger to her mouth as if telling her to be quiet.
Only then did Hanibi realize that the situation was unusual.
A person lying down.
People quietly surrounding him.
This was a typical scene dealing with a person on his deathbed.
Han Ibi, who understood the situation, lowered her voice and asked.
“Are you… not feeling well?”
At that time, Cheon Shin-woo spoke.
“Over-greed… over-greed… my father told me never to be greedy.”
Everyone’s expressions became solemn.
At that time, Cheon Shin-woo laughed out loud.
Surprisingly, the focus of his eyes became clearer and his face became even redder.
Han Ibi could tell what the signal was.
‘Reflection of light.’
It was a phenomenon where the original energy returned for a short period of time just before death.
Cheon Shin-woo said.
“ha ha ha. Now that I think about it, I guess I couldn’t even make a name for myself with the small cooperative. “What is your name, Sohyeop?”
Then Jong Ri-hyeok stood up and spoke politely.
“Please keep your words low. Sosaeng is said to be Jong Lihyeok of the Cheongseong Sect.”
“Thank you for saying that. It turned out that he was a talented person from the Blue Star faction. As expected, I thought the bright glow in the eyes was unusual.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“But it looks like you haven’t been to Gangho for a while. “Our Yeoseonpyo Bureau has been struggling for several years, being overtaken by the ‘Bugyeongpyo Bureau’ in the same region… Or, to be precise, it was on the verge of collapse.”
“The Lord saw it clearly. Resuscitation is Kangho’s first choice. “I didn’t know much about Moorim’s trends.”
“ha ha ha. I thought so. “The head of Bugyeongpyo State was originally a person with a connection to the imperial palace… and with that power, he was constantly expanding the power of the State.”
Han Ibi thought.
‘Oh… it looks like the imperial family has a secret presence.’
Cheon Shin-woo said.
“There wasn’t much work to do. Then… not long ago, I was entrusted with a request to transport cargo.”
Jong Lihyuk said.
“Isn’t it the job of the bureau to take charge of the goods?”
“Yes… but the problem was the client. “It is our principle not to accept dishonest requests, but… alas… the reward was so unimaginable that we could not refuse it. It was a genius opportunity to revive our country.”
“It looks like that request is the target from earlier.”
