Chapter 570 - two roads, two roads

Kong Ji-yu did not know the exact relationship between the three men and Jang Jian.

It was because he didn't talk much with Zhang Jian, and after the quarrel, Zhang Jian avoided him.

I knew that the deceased Zhang Jian was on his way to participate in 'Flight to the Sea', but that's all. She didn't even wonder because she wasn't interested in men - except for Jeokha.

However, the story changes when the people who were avoiding until yesterday suddenly follow behind.

Gongji Yu listened to her men's conversation.

She wants to know why they are following her.

But the three men did not speak as if they had become mute.

Except when ordering from the clerk, she remained silent as if she had promised.

'There's something!'

No matter how you look at it, the men's behavior was suspicious.

Even so, it is impossible to approach them and ask, “Why are you following me?”

Gongji Yu couldn't speak to anyone, and she was alone in her thoughts.

Her behaviour, which was different from usual, immediately caught the attention of the jeokha.

"What's wrong?"

"yes?"

“I think my expression has been bad since before. Where are you uncomfortable?”

“There is no such thing.”

"is it so?"

I didn't ask for more to do.

She said she was fine, but it wasn't polite for her to pry.

From then on, Gong Ji-yu's eating speed suddenly increased.

She hurriedly emptied her bowl and bobbed her ass as if it were about to happen.

She is a far cry from her usual serenity.

She ended the meal with such a wind that she ate even less.

Gong Ji-yu said to Yeonjeok-ha, who was trying to catch her breath by rinsing her mouth with water.

"song."

“Aren’t you drinking tea?”

“I just want you to drink water. It’s because I have something to find out.”

"is it so?"

Gong Ji-yu woke up at the place of dating her chae-geun.

Even when he fought against the subjugation party in Obongsan Mountain, she ate her own meal at leisure, which is a big deal.

After leaving the restaurant, the three of them diligently moved west along the highway.

Is it because you ate lunch late?

I didn't even walk long, but the sky was dyed red in the setting sun.

Yeonjeokha, who was looking to the left and right of the highway, murmured.

“I can’t see the title. I see there is no village nearby, so should I be homeless?”

At the word homeless, Jeong Deok-haeng's complexion darkened.

This is because when you are homeless, you have to prepare not only food but also a place to sleep.

Gong Ji-yu, who was looking around her, nodded her head.

“Even if I go further, I don’t think the approval will come out. Wouldn’t it be better to find a place to rest before it gets darker?”

“Does it seem like that too?”

I agreed with her mate.

It was surrounded by mountains to the left and right, so it didn't seem like there was a place for people to live.

I unpacked my things in search of a cozy place to hang out.

Jeong Deok-haeng cooks over a fire, while she even prepares the bed for the three of them.

Still, he did not praise his hard work.

No, on the contrary, I was nagging him.

“Jeong hyung, the soup is salty.”

“Ah, yes, I will be careful.”

Even though he received intellectual quality without rewarding his hard work, Jeong Deok-haeng laughed like a crazy person.

It is because he who used to be called 'Mr. Jeong' finally called him 'Jung-hyung'.

Jeong Deok-haeng knew that Yeon Jeok-ha's title changed depending on how he viewed his opponent.

According to experience, “Mr. Chung” is a dangerous title.

It was ‘Jung Hyung’ who broke down there.

For instance, when he threw himself at the wild beast, he called him 'Mr. Jung', but after the job was over, he called him 'Hyung Jeong'.

"It's salty, but what do you like so much?"

"sorry. We will do better next time.”

Jeong Deok-haeng quickly started managing facial expressions.

He was afraid that he would hear ‘Mr. Jeong’ again if he hurt his stomach.

By the time Yeon Jeok-ha finished eating, it was already dark.

At that moment, the voices of men were heard from afar.

And not long after, Do-gyeong Han and his party suddenly appeared.

As Yeon Jeok-ha stared at him, Do-gyeong Han made an excuse.

“I came to see the lights. I didn't know you were resting here. Enough then.”

Do-gyeong Han and the two men left without hearing an answer.

Soon after, a small light appeared in the darkness on the other side of the highway.

It looks like they will be sleeping nearby.

Gong Ji-yu, who was staring at the new light, said with a concerned face.

“Because it’s strange.”

"What?"

“I feel like we went after making sure we were right.”

“Ah, no way.”

I thought she was a bit sensitive.

It is because if they are going to the fire umbrella, they have no choice but to run into each other often.

However, Gong Ji-yu had a slightly different idea.

“You've always been ahead of us. Then people suddenly circle around us, isn’t it strange?”

“Since the destination is the same, they must go ahead or behind. There is no reason for those people to hang around us.”

“There is no reason for that, so it is strange. Even now, they don’t bother to check on us, and they stay homeless nearby.”

Then Jeong Deok-haeng, who was organizing the cauldron and bowls, said a word.

“Samae, if you see a light in the middle of the night, it's only natural to check who it is. You learned that at Hyeoncheonmun.”

“… … .”

Gong Ji-yu did not refute.

In the past, she recalled the memories she had when she was homeless with the current Astronomers.

She nodded her head as if in sympathy.

At times like that, Jeong Deok-haeng also seems like a sane person.

Joyful nature.

Cheon Byeok Hyun.

Yeon Jeok-ha's party and Han Do-gyeong's party accompanied each other for seven days.

By that time, she came to think that even having a positive relationship in everything was a bit strange.

It's not a smooth relationship, and it's not that the date is not tight, but it's because we met too often.

around lunchtime.

A shabby inn next to the highway.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who simply solved her meal with soup, glanced behind her.

Three men were eagerly eating soup.

We've met so many times since we crossed Muryangha together, and now it feels like we're together.

After thinking for a while, Yeon Jeok-ha asked Jeong Deok-haeng.

“Hyung Jeong, where did you say the fork in the road was?”

“If you go half a day more, you will come to a village called Yangdo. It splits into two branches there.”

“Transfer. Do you mean ‘two roads’?”

“Yes, there are two roads that lead to Sumi in Yangdo. One is hell, the other is heaven.”

“Hell and Heaven?”

“Yes, there is the Karma Mountains between Chaoyang and Sumi. If you go up north from Yangdo, you will see a canyon that runs straight through the Karma Mountains. You can pass through the gorge in a day, but there is no way to avoid it if you encounter a beast, so it is called the 'corridor of death'. That is why it is called Hell.”

"aha!"

I think you know what I mean.

Having met a beast in the gorge, it would be the same as being caught in a single trap.

No matter how much it is, it's a 'corridor of death'.

“Don’t go that way,” I heard.

“The main road people use is in the south of Yangyang. The route bypasses the rough terrain of the Karma Mountains, takes three days but is relatively safer than the route north. It's called a paradise. I also went this way three years ago, and I only saw a plant-level beast from a distance once.”

"omg! You saw a plant-class beast while penetrating the mountain range for three days?”

"yes. I heard that Cheonbyeok County regularly subdues beasts for trade.”

"aha! Even if you turn around a little, go safely, right?”

"That's right."

“Transfer. It's fun.”

The younger brother's eyes twinkled.

If I go to the northern road with the ‘corridor of death’ in Yangdo, will those men follow me?

Thinking about that made me laugh for no reason.

Gong Ji-yu, who saw Yeonjeok-ha's expression, asked cautiously.

“Yeon Daehyeop, don’t you think it’s strange?”

“Is that a strange idea?”

"No, I'm just asking because I'm suddenly feeling low. We're going south, right?"

Jeong Deok-haeng looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with surprised eyes.

I explained it in detail at best, but why would Gong Ji-yu say such a thing?

“There are plenty of dates, so you don’t have to rush. Isn't it?”

He shrugged his shoulders in response to Gong Ji-yu's repeated questions.

'what? Are you going south? Are you saying it's not?'

Jeong Deok-haeng did not dare to intervene in the conversation and only looked at the two.

“A kite?”

It is also known

She didn't give the jeokha a chance to escape.

Jeong Deok-haeng internally cheered Gong Ji-yu.

‘Yes, dig in to the end. Don't let Yeonjeokha fall over Eoyeongbuyeong.'

Only then did Yeonjeokha answer with a reluctant face.

“Well, I’ll go to Yangdo and think about it.”

"yes? What else can I do but think about it? They say we have no reason to rush, and that the south road is a safe road managed by the prefecture. There is no reason why you should leave heaven and go to hell.”

Gong Ji-yu looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with absurd eyes.

No matter how high his inaction was, I wanted to dissuade him.

No, he was right to hold back.

Do you dare call it a ‘corridor of hell’ over a safe road managed by Tianbyeok County?

Then Yeonjeokha said quietly.

“Remember when I said I thought they were following us? I'm going to see if it's the same in Yangdo.”

“Anyway, I don’t think it’s the northern road. If you’re curious about that, you can just grab it and ask.”

“If you ask me, of course they will say no. So what do you do? Beat it until we get the answer we want? What kind of sin is it to follow?”

“It is, but… … .”

Gongji Yu muttered her words.

right.

It is not a sin to go the same way.

Even more so, when the destination is the same, it would be strange to ask, ‘Why are you following me?’.

“If you come all the way north, you really have a problem. It's because there's something there that will risk her life to chase after her. Well, I think we'll go south from there.”

“Isn’t it a bit harsh to go north just to find out about that?”

“There is a fast road there, and since I have the ability to go, shall we go? I was thinking about it.”

At the words, ‘I have the ability to go,’ Gong Ji-yu nodded his head.

He might even be able to see the beast of the Karma Mountains in his eyes after defeating even the one-eyed demon.

He was frightened by the words that he was 'hell' and 'the corridor of death', but he didn't feel anything.

There would have been no clue.

“Ah, that’s right. If so, do as you please. It's a bit like having to leave the fast road and go back.”

"Yes? It's a road that people don't often go on, so it might be crowded with Yeongji Seoncho.”

“Whoops! Those people are making an excuse, but in fact, it seems that they are doing it because of Yeongji Seoncho?”

“It’s half and half. As long as it is called a mountain range, we can expect the beginning of Yeongji, right?”

Then Jeong Deok-haeng cautiously intervened.

“Yeondaehyeop, going south is the same as passing through the Karma Mountains.”

“That one is wrong.”

"yes? What are you talking about?”

“I heard that merchants go there and regularly go out to subjugate the prefecture? Will Yeongji Seoncho remain in such a place? Anything that is within sight has already been dug up.”

“The southern road is said to be safe, but it is still a rugged mountain road. It's not a level where you can say that merchants and officials went around and dug up everything.”

To be honest, he wanted to avoid the northern road.

My mouth was dry when I thought of going into an already dangerous place with a backpack full of luggage.

But he didn't listen to what he said.

“Hey, let’s get up and see! Should we hurry to get to Yangdo when the sun is out?”

With the crossroads of life and death ahead of him, he acted like a person out on a picnic.

'You son of a bitch, listen to what people say and pretend to eat them.'

Jeong Deok-haeng diligently kneaded his stiff knee joints with his already sweaty hands. Because I had only two legs to trust.
