◈ Harvest (2)
Immediately after completing urgent matters such as clearing the battlefield or interrogation. Full-fledged talks began.
“Now that the Five Dog Gates are gone, what do each palace plan to do?”
As Ouyangpae translated Mujin’s words, the Beast Princess snorted and answered.
“We will return to the palace and protect the forest.”
“Now that the war is over, we are planning to go back.”
Mujin tilted his head at the two palace lords’ response that they would return obediently.
“Are you not interested in the territory occupied by the Five Dogs?”
“There are less than a thousand members of our sun sign. “If we expand the area to this point, we won’t even be able to manage it properly.”
“We are also busy protecting the forest. “The reason we fought against the Odogmun was because they kept trying to invade our forest.”
Seeing the unexpected reaction, Mujin looked at the two palace lords with a curious expression.
‘Hmm. Still, I don’t think the Sun Palace lord means that he will just give in.’
Right now, the only problem is that the number of archers is small. It seemed like he had plans to go beyond this point when his power got stronger.
The Beast Palace Lord seemed to have no thoughts.
And upon hearing that the two palace lords were returning, Ouyangpae opened his mouth.
“If you do, our Red Tiger Corps will stay here for a while.”
“… … “Are you saying you dare to build a nest here?”
The Sun Palace Lord glared fiercely and asked, but Ouyang Pai only answered with a calm expression.
“Don’t worry. Our goal is to return to Protestantism. “I’m saying I’m going to stay here for a while because I need a place to stay until then.”
“joy. Do you know when you can go back and stay for a while?”
“I have a plan, so it won’t take long.”
If the Jeokhodan, Ouyangpae, and Geumyanghwi stayed here, the news would naturally spread to the Demonic Cult as well.
In that case, the Demonic Cult will once again send someone under the pretext of punishing apostates.
If the people coming here were slaves from the upper class, it was enough to kill them, and if they were abandoned people like the Red Tigers, they planned to embrace them and turn them into allies.
One way or another, the number of people who follow the left and right guardians will decrease.
Of course, the sun sign’s expression was still rough.
Since the Princess of the Sun seemed to be in a bad mood after losing Geumyanghwi, Mujin stepped in to mediate.
“Don’t you think it’s a good idea? Now that the Odokmun Gate has disappeared, there are only two palaces left in Namman. Both sides have lost people who were like family to this war, so you don’t want to start a war right now, do you? But from what I’ve seen so far, if only the two palaces remain, it looks like war will break out within a few days?”
“… … So, are you saying that they are taking on the role of mediators in the middle?”
“You guessed right. Lord of the Sun Palace.”
“joy. “How could you trust these guys who were with the barbarians?”
Ouyangpae, who had been translating Mujin’s words, personally responded to the Sun Palace Lord’s comments.
“Do you, Lord of the Sun Palace, not trust Geumyanghwi Daehyup, who has been with you for ten years? “The Geumyanghui Grand Council is with us, so how can we unilaterally take the side of the Beast Palace?”
“… … .”
There seemed to be nothing to refute to Ouyang Pae’s words, so the Sun Palace Lord merely crumpled her face with a chewed-up expression.
When things seemed to have been sorted out, Mujin turned his head and looked at Dang Somi.
“Is there something you want here, Lord Dang So-mi?”
“There are so many. Materials from the Odokmun’s research on poisons, and raw materials for the poisons they used. “I’m thinking about taking some of them with me.”
After Ouyangpae translated her answer. Mujin asked the two palace lords.
“Both palaces don’t use poison anyway, so those materials won’t be necessary. “Do you mind if we proceed as she wishes?”
“Hahaha. “Do it!”
“hmm. “It doesn’t really matter to us either.”
When the two palace lords readily accepted the request, Dang So-mi clapped her hands and added, as if she had finally remembered something.
“ah! Now that I think about it, there is one more thing I need to receive.”
“What is it?”
“An apology from the Lord of the Sun Palace. “Now that the war is over, you should apologize for delaying.”
As Ouyangpae translated her words, the Sun Palace Lord looked at her with a shocked face for a moment.
“Whoa.”
The Sun Palace Lord let out a deep sigh and bowed her head to Tang Xiaomi.
“I’m sorry for belittling you.”
A truly shocking scene unfolded where one of Namman’s top leaders apologized for his rudeness.
“Khahahahahaha!!!”
Well, it was a bonus that the Sun Palace Lord swung the Great Sword at the Beast Palace Lord who laughed at the sight.
* * *
After all discussions have been completed. The Sun Sign and the Beast Sign returned to their own territories.
“Khahahahaha!!”
The Beast Palace Lord with a hearty laugh.
“If I stay with those damn barbarians, I will die from a fire!”
The difference was that the Sun Palace Lady returned with her face turning red with anger.
And the Mujin group decided to stay together for a while, thanks to the fact that the Germans from Dangsomina and Sacheondanga remained here.
The original manor where Oh Dok-mun lived was completely destroyed, but the Jeokhodan reused the stones and trees that were there and created a manor of an appropriate size for them to live in.
And the people of Mujin and Dangga stayed there for a while.
“Are you saying you tried to serve Lord Xiao with that kind of skill?!”
“You weak bastards! “Move a little faster!!”
There, Mujin was making a living for the fun of watching Geumyanghwi hunt for members of the Jeokhodan while working on metalworking.
‘Hey. I miss you. If you had been born in modern times, you would have made a lot of noise in the military.’
The way Geumyang-hwi led the members of the Jeokhodan was compared to the way Mujin longed for the disciples of the Jongnam faction.
However, the reason the training intensity was so vicious was not without Mujin’s influence.

“Even the warriors of the sect who live peacefully endure such difficult training! “Are you saying that the so-called warriors of the Protestant religion can’t even withstand this?!”
The place Geumyanghwi pointed with his finger.
There, Mujin was looking at them, lifting a piece of metal that looked foolishly heavy.
“Iik!”
“You can do it!!”
And the members of the Red Tigers, burning with a senseless desire to win, gritted their teeth and withstood Geum Yang-hwi’s abuse.
It was a truly beautiful sight, with each person being stimulated by each other.
“He also harasses people in so many different ways.”
“I guess I’ll just do it now. Death penalty.”
Mugung and Mu-gyeong, who were watching, shook their heads and talked to each other, but Mujin had no intention of letting them just play.
“You guys stop playing and come here. Then comes muscle loss?”
Only Muhyul, who was playing quietly with Lingling, was in an unfair situation.
After such a sweaty training session, the sun was setting.
The poisoners of Sacheon Danga and Dang So-mi, who had gone out to study poisonous plants, returned to the manor.
Mujin quickly tried to hide, but there weren’t many places to hide in this narrow manor.
“Woohuhu. Monk Mujin. “So you’re here?”
“Hmm. Hey, I guess you came early. “Dang So-mi, Lord.”
It’s been a while since we last met, and since she calmly(?) focused on work, I thought her temper had been fixed.
It turned out that she was the owner of a wall that knew how to distinguish between public and private affairs.
After the war ended, they began to attack Mujin as blatantly as they did in Sacheon.
‘But there’s Mugung, Mugung, and Muyul, so why only me?’
I didn’t know why, out of so many monks, only he was the one to criticize.
“There are so many different poisonous plants here. Oh, and you know what? I said it was a poisonous plant, but in fact, all plants are poisonous when used as poison, but when used as medicine, they become medicine.”
“Hmm. okay.”
As he had done before, Mujin tried to talk appropriately and sneak away, but the words that came out of her mouth stopped Mujin in his tracks.
“And as I was walking around this place today, I saw that there was also a wild growth of cat-eye grass.”
‘Myoancho?’
It was definitely the name of a grass that I had heard of at some point.
For a moment, I thought back to my memory and wondered where on earth I heard this.
“Miaoancho is here!?”
Mujin had no choice but to ask that question with a surprised face.
As expected, Myoancho was one of the ingredients of ‘the’ decoction.
When Mujin almost died in the battle of King Nang. These are the ingredients of the decoction prepared by God.
Shaolin obtained the recipe for the decoction in the name of medical exchange, but it was impossible to produce the decoction in large quantities.
Because the cat’s eye plant I mentioned just a moment ago is very rare.
‘So, you’re saying that if you just move that Myoancho to Shaolin, you can mass produce that decoction!?’
Maybe, in Namman, we would get a bigger harvest than expected.
Without knowing Mujin’s true intentions, Dang So-mi said with a fox-like smile.
“Is it just Myoancho? “There were many plants and flowers that could make a lot of money if sold in the central plains.”
Mujin’s head began to spin at her words.
“Then why not take it and sell it?”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult? If you want to go to the central plains from here, you have to go through Yunnan or Guangxi, but if you try to pass through Yunnan, Jeomchang won’t stay still, and Guangxi is Sapa’s territory, so it’s not easy.”
Mujin smiled at Dang So-mi’s words.
“Guangxi Province doesn’t matter. “There is someone there who knows.”
* * *
A few days later. Mujin and his party are ready to leave.
The collection of research materials by Tang Xiaomi and the Germans had come to an end, and it was necessary to move slowly in order to create a commercial route that would lead from here to Guangxi Province.
‘If we do it well, we will be able to mass-produce decoctions while also earning funds for his activities.’
When Mujin was thinking of someone in Guangxi Province. Ouyangpae approached Mujin and the others.
“Do you want to say goodbye?”
When Mujin asked with a chuckle, thinking that it wasn’t like Gooyangpae, Gooyangpae shook his head.
“It’s not a goodbye. “I just have something to say before I leave.”
I wondered if that was it, but Mujin didn’t bother to point out that part.
“So, what are you going to say?”
“I thought about what you said last time. “I have decided that being with you is the best decision for now.”
“Hoo.”
As Mujin nodded in satisfaction, Ouyangpae frowned.
“It’s only a temporary alliance. After purifying our school and punishing those people called Shincheon who played with our school. Then we will head to the central plain again.”
To the proud declaration of the Gooyang group, Mujin responded with the thought, ‘It is typical of the Gooyang group.’
“Why are you so hung up on the midfield? You just have to live reasonably well in Xinjiang, right? “Is Xinjiang a very difficult place to make a living?”
“As expected, I guess he didn’t know anything because he was a member of a political faction.”
“???”
As Mujin looked at him with a puzzled face, Ouyangpae added.
“We are not looking beyond the midfield. “I want to go back.”
“You’re going back? So that means the Demonic Cult was originally based in the central plains?”
“exactly. More than a hundred years ago. The harsh politics of the former imperial family reached its peak, exploiting the common people, and not only that, the emperor did not hesitate to sacrifice human beings to prolong his life, so our school was a beacon of salvation for the common people of the Central Plains. ”
“By the former imperial family, do you mean the time of the Huan Dynasty?”
The place that can be said to be the current owner of the central plains was the imperial family with the name ‘Cho (初)’. And the name of the former empire was Hwan.
Both were the names of empires that did not originally exist in China, but Mujin, who has been living in this world for nearly ten years, knew them as basic knowledge.
Ouyangpae nodded in response to Mujin’s question and continued speaking.
“At the time when the current imperial family’s first emperor founded the empire. We rose up together with the First Emperor and people like you from the nine factions and the five generations and drove out the former imperial family. But after the war ended. “You denied our doctrine and drove us out of the central plain.”
Because it was a setting he had never seen before in a novel, Mujin tilted his head.
“It seems like all records of your ancestors who were perpetrators have been erased.”
Following Ouyangpae’s words, Mugung, who was listening to the conversation next to him, snorted as if something was strange.
“joy. On the contrary, didn’t the Demonic Church leave records that were favorable to them? How can we believe the words of those who cowardly tried to exterminate our Shaolin by stealing troops during the war?”
Although we continued to be together because of Mujin, the people from the Demonic Cult were very scary.
And Ouyangpae also frowned and answered.
“Why do you keep accusing us of unfair accusations? Our Demonic Cult attacked them head on at that time. To put it bluntly, why bother sending troops to attack Shaolin when the main army is being defeated?”
“Hey, I guess you thought you would win!”
Mugung, who could not think of anything to logically refute, shouted in droves.
“hey. Please say something too. Because of that incident, Taesa Baekjo Hyeongwang also suffered serious injuries.”
Mugung hurriedly spoke to Mujin, but Mujin was lost in thought while stroking his chin.
‘After hearing it, it makes sense, right? Previously, the Namgung Sword Emperor also said that it was behavior unbecoming of the Heavenly Demon.’
Maybe it really was the work of another force.
And if there is a force capable of doing something like that… … .
‘Could it have been those bastards’ doing?’
Naturally, two letters, Shincheon, couldn’t help but come to mind.
But nothing will come out of discussing something that happened 40 years ago right now.
“I guess I’ll have to dig a little to find out, right? Next time I catch the Sincheon guys again, I’ll have to check. “If you succeed in returning to the Demonic Cult, look for the records.”
“I will.”
Unable to conclude anything, they eventually said goodbye and left the Red Tigers’ manor.
‘If it’s the Ouyang group, they’ll do it somehow.’
Since I also told them the truth about Left and Right Sas, I believed that they would take care of it.
As I was organizing my thoughts about the main character of Part 1, Ouyangpae, it naturally led to thoughts about Dowolcheon.
‘Did you get a good seat?’
This was a very important issue.
The person they wanted to meet to open up a commercial route to Guangxi Province was none other than Do Yue-cheon.
