439. The business of leaving people behind (4)

While Han Bin and his party were talking in the inn, at the city gate of Hebei Province.

The gates of Hebei Province had not heard the sound of a carriage or cart passing for nearly a month.

The rumor that the alumni would step forward and take control spread like wildfire, so merchants couldn’t even think of passing through this place.

Thanks to this, the soldiers guarding this place were also able to spend their time leisurely.

Of course, that was until yesterday.

The soldier guarding the gate turned his head and looked at his comrades.

“It’s not like it’s a moth to a flame, but the rumor must have spread like wildfire. What kind of nerve do these merchants have to come in here?”

“That’s right. If you’re blinded by information, you’ll end up wasting good money.”

“I remember the merchant who returned yesterday.”

“With that amount of grain, even Hebei Province would be stable.”

“You are right. I am not worried about the merchants, but what about the people who are groaning inside?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“Of course, but if things stabilize, won’t our Eunuch Seo’s financial resources disappear?”

“Hey, lower your voice… … .”

The soldier looked around, putting his index finger to his lips.

The reason they were so cautious was simpler than you might think.

This was because the eunuch Seo, who controlled Hebei Province, was secretly buying food and doing business.

It was before he had even lifted his hand from his index finger.

The sound of cart wheels was loud in the distance.

Less noise.

Less noise.

The soldier narrowed his eyes at the sound.

“Yesterday and today, the castle gates were strangely crowded!”

“That’s right. A flock of moths are crawling in.”

“For moths, the taste of fire is the best.”

The soldier smiled and adjusted his grip on the spear.

The soldier who had been watching for a while tilted his head.

“But that cart… … .”

“Why are you doing that?”

When his colleague asked, the soldier gestured with his chin towards the approaching procession.

“It’s similar to the carriage that the merchant who was kicked out yesterday brought.”

The procession was approaching, raising a faint cloud of dust.

The soldier’s comrade shook his head at his words.

“Look over there. Isn’t that flag different?”

“A flag, what the heck… … .”

The soldier opened his eyes wide.

The flags placed on each cart were the flags of the Wisise family.

In that moment, his fellow soldier quickly ran somewhere.

That would be the case because Eunuch Seo had ordered that they be notified immediately when the warriors of the Wi family arrived.

As soon as the Wei Shi family from Hebei Province arrived, Eunuch Seo came running.

They saw the eunuch Seo come out like the wind and greet Sang-Hwa-Ho.

“I’ve been waiting for you anyway. Please go in quickly.”

Wi Sang-ho was struck by the sight of Eunuch Seo pointing inside the castle gate.

“Thank you for your kindness, sir.”

After finishing speaking, Sang-Ho Wi looked behind him and gestured.

At the same time, the carts marched in unison toward the castle gate.

Less noise.

Less noise.

As the cart gathered in front of the city gate, Eunuch Seo looked around and shouted.

“You are to escort the Great Swordsman to his destination!”

The soldiers shout out the order simultaneously.

“Your name!”

At that sight, Sang-Ho quickly waved his hand.

“It’s okay, sir.”

“No. How could I neglect you when a distinguished guest has arrived?”

“No. The warriors of the family alone can protect this one body.”

“Haha, I was rude. It was my fault for trying to provide escort to the world’s most famous Wei family.”

Eunuch Seo smiled awkwardly.

In some ways, it was an excessive kindness. It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that he was protecting the Wei family, one of the ten great families in the world.

“no…….”

Sang-Ho waved his hand and smiled back.

In fact, Sang-Ho Wi was pleased with Eunuch Seo’s treatment.

How much money was sprinkled in the palace?

I thought I was reaping some of the seeds I sowed then.

But the eyes of the soldiers looking at them were not so kind.

Although it was their job to strictly control the entrance to the castle gates, it was obvious that there were those who wanted to take advantage of this chaos.

The rule here was that most of the upper classes were not allowed to set foot within fifty paces of the gates.

But the sight of the whole martial arts world now ordering them to be their escorts was too contradictory.

It was while Eunuch Seo and Sang Wi-ho were talking.

The carts began to pass through the gate.

When half of the cart passed the gate.

The military dog ​​the soldiers were carrying started barking wildly.

Woof woof.

As the military dog ​​moves forward to charge at the cart, the soldiers’ leashes tighten.

The sight of several military dogs barking madly was strange to anyone who saw it.

The soldiers quickly tightened their grip on the leash to calm the dog down.

“What’s wrong with him?”

Woof woof!

The procession of the Wisise family stopped for a moment when the military dogs started barking like crazy.

At the same time, the horses pulling the cart started to buck as if startled.

Whew.

At the same time, the warriors of the Wei clan placed their fingers on the tops of their horses.

It’s a bet to calm the horse down.

It was similar to the principle of acupuncture.

The excited words finally stopped as if they had calmed down.

In a sudden situation, when only the sound of military dogs barking echoed around, a secret look was exchanged between Eunuch Seo and Wi Sang-ho.

Eunuch Seo gestured to the cart the military dogs were about to rush towards.

Sang-Ho immediately shook his head.

It was a sign that there would be no problem.

But Eunuch Seo tilted his upper body as if he was uneasy.

Then he whispered with a serious expression.

“Master, are you sure there is nothing hidden?”

“yes.”

“Then I can rest assured.”

“That’s the grain we brought from Jangunhyeon.”

“hmm.”

“I bought goods from merchants who came to the city gate yesterday, were treated coldly, and then returned… … .”

“Yesterday, then I guess I can rest assured.”

A hint of leisure appeared on Eunuch Seo’s expression.

If it was returned yesterday, it means there was nothing illegal inside.

If there was such a thing, there’s no way the soldiers wouldn’t have caught it at the gate.

There was only one thing that Eunuch Seo was concerned about.

It was because of Jiang Yuchan of the Jinyiwei in Hebei Province.

Although the purpose of the Dongchang and Jinuiwi was the same in that they assisted the emperor, politically they were like oil and water.

What if something happens here that catches you off guard?

Eunuch Seo’s political life was bound to be damaged.

Eunuch Seo glanced to the side and then signaled to the soldier.

The soldier was the one who had been guarding the gate for several days.

As the soldier approached, Eunuch Seo asked in a small voice.

“Did you happen to have any of the messengers you sent back yesterday?”

“Yes, that’s right. It looks similar to that cart. The covering on the cart reminds me of that cart.”

At the soldier’s answer, the eunuch looked at Sang-Ho Wi and smiled awkwardly.

“The Great Swordsman was right. I’m sorry I tripped you up.”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry about it. I think it’s only natural that misunderstandings like this arise when you’re doing state affairs.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Eunuch Seo bowed his head slightly and shouted to the soldiers.

“Put the dog down so the horse doesn’t get startled!”

“Your name.”

All the soldiers repeated their orders and led the way again.

The soldiers took the dog away from the cart.

The military dog ​​continued to bark incessantly even while being dragged away.

Woof woof.

It was as the last carriage was leaving the city gate.

A voice full of inner energy was heard from somewhere.

“Stop.”

Everyone stopped moving at that shout.

The cart that was getting away could not move forward any further.

This time, not only Kang Yu-chan came, but even the warriors of the Royal Guard came and blocked the carriage.

The one who saw this sight was Eunuch Seo.

Eunuch Seo quickly ran to Kang Yu-chan.

He glared at Kang Yu-chan as if he was going to pierce through him.

“Master! What’s going on now?”

“I saw a military dog ​​barking from afar. From the sound, I thought the dog had detected something strange. But I came running because I thought it was strange that they were sending it off without any investigation.”

“I have investigated everything.”

“I saw with my own eyes that they were forcibly dragging away military dogs.”

“Haha. The person in charge here is me, not Kang Dae-in.”

“I have received orders from Your Majesty to ensure stability in Hebei Province. Any possibility of minor conflict must be prevented at the source. What is the purpose of controlling this place? Isn’t it to prevent the fighting between martial artists?”

“So you haven’t been holding it back very well so far?”

“Aren’t they people of the martial arts world?”

Kang Yu-chan pointed to the flag stuck on the cart.

The flag clearly displayed a pattern symbolizing the Weishi family.

The symbols representing the Weishi family are the blue dragon and the tiger.

It was the family flag that contained their wish to be braver than a tiger and fly higher than a blue dragon.

Then a strong wind blows between them.

Whew.

As the wind blew by, Eunuch Seo, whose emotions had calmed down, continued speaking.

“He is someone I know. Didn’t Kang Dae-in also bring in a carriage loaded with herbs two days ago? It is my responsibility to let him in.”

“Still, I think we should take a look at the wagon detected by the military dog, Eunuch Seo.”

“It’s impossible.”

“Then I will wait inside and inspect this procession together with the Lord of Hebei Province.”

“hmm.”

As Eunuch Seo narrowed his eyes, Sang Wi-ho, who had been watching the conversation from the side, took a step forward.

Wi Sang-ho looked at Kang Yu-chan and gave him a lottery ticket.

“I am the head of the Wei family, His Excellency Sang-Hyo. I heard that our children were indebted to you at the Sachon Dang family last time. I am grateful for that.”

“you’re welcome.”

“We look up to the sky without any shame, so you can look at it for yourself. But!”

The phase signal was gaining momentum.

Kang Yu-chan tilted his head at that sight and asked.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“That cart contains grain to help the people of Hebei Province. If the schedule is disrupted and the people suffer, you will have to take responsibility for it.”

After finishing speaking, Sang-Ho Wi quietly looked at Yu-Chan Kang.

They are trying to pressure Kang Yu-chan for political reasons.

Eunuch Seo nodded with his small eyes wide open and spoke in a serious voice.

“Up until now, Dongchang and Geumuiwi have never crossed the line. But what Kang Daein is saying now is crossing the line. If you want to investigate the carriage, do so, but you will have to take responsibility for it.”

At that sight, Kang Yu-chan was reminded of Han Bin’s face.

The fact that the Red Blood Tigers had allowed the merchants to pass through and that they were currently hiding here was all at Hanbin’s request.

Hanbin said that there were cases where he had dragged his classmates and Weisse into this place.

Kang Yu-chan blocked it confidently at first.

But when he came out so confidently, I started to have some doubts.

What if the items in that cart aren’t prohibited items?

What if the military dog’s mad barking was just a strange misunderstanding?

Kang Yu-chan, who had been pondering his thoughts, shook his head.

Have you ever suffered a loss by listening to the words of the scholar-official Habukpengga?

He is favored by the emperor.

He gained the trust of his subordinates.

But the confident expression on Eunuch Seo’s face was strangely irritating.

That was when.

Someone gestured from a tree far away.

Kang Yu-chan slightly aroused his spirit and squinted his eyes.

For a moment he almost screamed.

Someone was sending a signal from a tree five hundred paces away.
