Se-hwa pointed at the opposite side of the river.
“Older brothers, that’s my house.”
Although it was dark, it wasn’t difficult to spot the house as three lights were turned on.
“We just have to kick him out of Hangzhou, right?”
Kal Ma-pyeong, who had small eyes which cannot be distinguished from whether they were closed or open said.
“Yes. It’s alright to earn one hundred silver taels by doing some gestures a few times while quickly going on an excursion, right?”
Ko Seo-bang who had a bushy-beard wrapped his arms around Se-hwa’s waist.
“What I wanted is something better than money….”
Se-hwa shook off Ko Seo-bang’s hands with a subtle gesture as she always did.
“Work comes first. If you stink of a woman it will be disloyal to your work.”
Oh Tong-su who had thin lips on his pale skin said with a cold voice.
“Don’t be careless. A tiger does its best even when it catches a rabbit. There must be a good reason why they are called Hangzhou Sa-seon. You better get your head on straight”
“Hehehe…. even so, they’re frogs inside the well. Let’s take this opportunity to drink the well-known Sagi wine to our heart’s content.”
Se-hwa supported Ko Seo-bang’s words.
“Of course. Compared to the three wicked ones of Jiangxi the Hangzhou Sa-seon are immature kids.”
“Once the work is done you’re mine all night today. Understand?”
Even though he made many efforts to embrace Se-hwa over the past two years, the flower of the Kisaeng house did not break easily.
Not just Ko Seo-bang, but no man in Jiangxi has ever had Se-hwa. Even if she is not a prostitute who sells her body, this was a very rare case.
“First of all, finish your work. And, don’t ever forget the directions. There is no commission fee if you kill the Hangzhou Sa-seon. You know it, right?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be ending it at all cost.”
Ko Seo-bang boasted and rushed towards the river first.
Every time she saw the Qinggong technique of gliding on the water where he climbs on the water, it strangely approached her.
‘If I was a little younger, I too would’ve learned martial arts.’
Se-hwa saw the three wicked ones of Jiangxi crossing the river and turned away.
There was no need for her to be there. It is rather better to stay away from the scene of the incident.
By any possibility, if the Hangzhou Sa-seon dies, she’ll have to back off.
“Thanks to the Hangzhou Sa-seon, I get one thousand and two hundred silver taels for free. Hahaha!”
The three wicked ones of Jiangxi who did not even know that they were doing cheap services (?) stepped gently inside the yard of the house.
Then, they happened to witness a strange sight as soon as they entered the house.
Three middle-aged men and a young woman were crouching on the floor with their heads together.
“Now it’s my turn to draw the line.”
“Cover the bottom well.”
“What if you draw it overlapping with the other lines? Draw it again.”
“Shh! The abolition is sleeping. It’ll all be ruined if the abolition wakes up.”
“Oi, even the abolition can’t say anything about this. They’re people who came to kill us. I don’t know if they’re here to steal the recipe like last time, but since they came to kill us, we can kill them, right!”
“You’re sure they’re here to kill us, right? We have made a promise to the abolition, so, if they’re not here to kill us then….”
“Look at these guys. They’re just here to murder. So, don’t worry. Hehehe….” Said one of the middle-aged men glancing at the three people
Among the three wicked ones of Jiangxi who looked confused, Ko Seo-bang opened his mouth to talk.
“You fellows….”
“Shh!”
“Didn’t you hear when I said the abolition is sleeping? Stay quiet. As we’ll be done soon.” Said the young lady frowning.
She was threatening, but it looked cute in the eyes of Ko Seo-bang.
‘Oh! Surely my taste. Hehehe… if I do it well it would be like having the best of both worlds.’
Kal Ma-pyeong couldn’t wait and was about to speak but Ko Seo-bang gave him a thump on the back.
“They look busy. Let’s wait a little bit.”
“This jerk goes out of mind when he sees a pretty woman and doesn’t know how to get back onto his senses.”
“I’m starting now!” Said firmly the half-bald middle-aged guy.
The middle-aged guy’s fingers moved along with the line that was drawn on the floor.
The lower part of the line that was drawn messy was not visible as it was covered with a cloth.
“Isn’t that Ghost Leg? Asked Ko Seo-bang from Oh Tong-su in a low voice.
“Looks like they’re placing some bet.”
“How important is the bet that they’re pretending as if they didn’t see these uninvited guests who came in the middle of the night.”
As soon as Oh Tong-su was done talking the three raised their hands straight up in the air.
They didn’t make a sound, but it looks like they were pretty happy jumping up and down with their mouths wide open.
The half-bald guy whose head was lowered wore an expression of grief as if he had heard the news of his parents’ demise.
“Seo Seok-san, take good care of the abolition.”
“Can you not yield me a leg bone?”
“Hehehe…. don’t say absurd things. I’ll give you my bones, but I won’t give you their bones.”
“You traitors.”
The three wicked ones of Jiangxi couldn’t understand what they were talking about.
Anyway, the result of the bet seems to have come out, so, Ko Seo-bang said.
“We came to meet the Hangzhou Sa-seon, are you guys the Hangzhou Sa-seon?”
A guy who had eyes with white-ringed iris and a rough beard replied.
“We’re being called like that against our wills these days.”
“I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard this name but we are the three wicked ones of Jiangxi.”
At this point, they were expecting a reaction that turned their faces pale along with a terrible sense of astonishment. But the Hangzhou Sa-seon only stared at each other.
“Have you heard of the three wicked ones of Jiangxi?”
“Do I have to go around listening to each one of those newborn’s nicknames? I just want them to have strong bones. Only then there’ll be a pleasure in breaking them. Slurp!”
The woman who wiped off the saliva that was flowing from her mouth which didn’t suit her beautiful face approached.
“Do you know to glide on water?”
“Oh? How did you? Did you see?”
“See? You’ll know when you just hear it. Shall we go to a quieter place than here?”
A beautiful woman said let’s go to a quiet place, but it was the first time they felt uncomfortable.
The bushy-bearded guy who had eyes with white-ringed iris stood in front of Oh Tong-su. And then, as he nodded, he walked out the gate passing him.
It was surely a sign of a follow-up.
“Let’s go while I’m saying it on good terms. If you make a fuss here, even the chance of you breathing a few more times will be gone.”
“What nonsense are these fellows…!”
Oh Tong-su shouted and suddenly felt his breath suffocate. The quiet man grabbed him by his nape and threw him.
‘This crazy bastard!’
The world class three wicked ones of Jiangxi cannot be grabbed by the nape and dragged down. So, he tried to counterattack but his limbs suddenly became stiff.
While grabbing his nape, he blocked his blood flow with only one hand.
‘What kind of a monstrous!’
The other two weren’t any different from him.
Thump! Boom! Smack!
As they bumped against the tree, ground, and rocks a terrible pain was transmitted, but they couldn’t even scream because the point of muteness was blocked.
Something is wrong, but it was a lot that was wrong.
They were told that it was a simple commission to kick out the liquor brewers who knew a little bit about martial arts. They also thought that the one hundred silver taels each of them received were a jackpot.
This woman Se-hwa! Whom did she send us to!
It’s almost like they’ve been dragged for four kilometers.
They stopped at a fairly open space in the mountains where three tombs were made side by side.
“If it’s for this extent, the abolition will not be able to hear no matter how much they scream, right?”
After dumping the three wicked ones of Jiangxi roughly onto the floor they occupied the tombs one by one and sat down. The tombs they sat on could also become the tombs of the three wicked ones of Jiangxi.
“I can’t believe they came looking for us on their own. Like these fortunate guys.”
The woman patted the back of the quiet guy who looked touched.
“Jang Man-dok, I know how you feel. Have we ever been this long without killing someone? Even if it goes against the nature of the beast, it goes against for a long time.”
The rough bearded guy gave strength to his fingers by cracking his knuckles.
“I can’t hold it anymore. I have to feel the touch of it.”
“Stupid fellow! Are you going to prepare the quality ingredients to your heart’s content and not season it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Shouldn’t the hands and ears feel pleasant at the same time?”
“Ah! Of course!”
At the same time, the blood flow of the three wicked ones of Jiangxi was released.
It makes sense to release the mutation point, but even the blood flow that subdued the body was released.
‘Maybe we can run away.’
Oh Tong-su was thinking so, but Kal Ma-pyeong stood up all of a sudden.
“These fellas know who we are! If you are lucky enough to subdue the blood flow with a sudden attack, you should’ve just finished it off! You’ll surely see what a huge mistake it was to free the blood flow!”
The three of them stared blankly at Kal Ma-pyeong who shouted, and burst out laughing at the same time.
“Hahaha! Look at that spirit! That fellow is mine!”
“You crazy fellows! You’re called the Hangzhou Sa-seons, do you seriously think you are gods!”
The guy who had eyes with white-ringed iris suddenly stopped laughing.
“Have you guys only heard of Hangzhou Sa-seon and not heard of the name Blood-lions?”
Blood-lions.
They’re called the Moorim Creators together with Ma Gun-ja. They’re more of demons that shouldn’t be met other Ma Gun-ja.
These guys had also heard absolute warnings to not meet them if they want to live long, not just the saying, ‘Don’t make enemies.’
However….
In Jiangxi, all though they were going strutting around with their name the three wicked ones of Jiangxi, they’ve never once met a blood-lion.
Should it be called good luck or consider it as a false rumor…
It was that kind of a feeling. The blood-lions suddenly showed up at Hangzhou?
The woman poked the man’s ribs with her elbow.
“You fool! How can you reveal our identity?”
“So, what? They’re going to die anyway.”
“Yes, but there is something called one in a million.”
“There is no such thing. Even if there is, it won’t work!”
Kal Ma-pyeong snorted listening to the three of their conversation.
“They’re losing their minds.”
Oh Tong-su screamed with an unpleasant expression.
“Hey, hey…. you crazy fellow!”
“Are you selling out the name of the blood-lions who went missing two years ago where no one even knows if they’re alive or dead? Have you seen such crazy bastards!”
-You bastard! Shut your mouth!
Despite Oh Tong-su’s change of tone, Kal Ma-pyeong did not stop his absurd remarks.
“Fuck! Now that you sold out the blood lion’s name, let’s see if your skills are up to that level!”
You’ve proven your skills enough by driving us here and overpowering us, you daredevil!
Yeah, let’s praise him for having the guts.
Kal Ma-pyeong pounced on them.
Smack!
And then, he was slapped by the woman, went flying a field away, and was slammed with a thud.
“Hahaha! He’s a young fellow, so he has good skin.”
“What, what the fuck!”
Kal Ma-pyeong who had the guts and the endurance of pain pounced once again and he was left with fingerprints on the other cheek as well.
“This is a pleasure! This pleasure! Hahaha!”
They had to stop the situation from getting any worse. Oh Tong-su fell on his knees with a thud and bowed in submission.
“The juniors, who know nothing dared to disrespect the honorable ones! Please forgive them!”
“Why don’t you run away instead of asking for forgiveness? Your blood flow is also released.” Said Minachal.
However, Oh Tong-su, whose head was buried on the floor, showed no signs of escaping.
“How can we escape from the hands of the blood-lions? It will be of no use even if we practice Qinggong for the next one hundred years!”
“Oi, don’t do that, just run away. Since you can glide on the water, Qinggong would be pretty much. It’s been a while since I’ve had fun playing with the guys who are running away.”
“Ah! Right. Oi, you guys, run away first.”
How can they escape after hearing such words? The three wicked ones of Jiangxi laid flat on the ground.
“Pl-, please save us!”
Kal Ma-pyeong faced the reality only after he regained consciousness being slapped on both his cheeks.
“I’m sure you will get bored of that words all night. You want us to ask you to kill us more?”
“Since you dared to come to kill us, there is nothing wrong with us wanting to kill you, right?”
Ko Seo-bang shook both his hands at Do Pyeong-su’s words.
“No… it’s not it! Seniors, we never thought of….”
“We’ve never had juniors like you fellows.”
“I’m-, I’m sorry. Good-, good old men….”
“Are you saying we are aged?”
“That’s-, that’s not it…. then, how do we address you?”
Yeon Geum-hong swished her hands.
“Let’s go with Seniors for now.”
“We did not try to kill you, Seniors. It was only a request we received to kick you out of Hangzhou.”
“A request? Who made the request?”
The three wicked ones of Jiangxi, trying to be better, told the inside story in detail.
They had no loyalty to protect when their lives were at stake.
“You mean the owners of the Kisaeng house, who couldn’t receive the supply of Sagi wine made this request?”
“That’s right. I swear the murderous intent is not even close to the eyeball of a mosquito.”
“Jeez, as I heard your nickname, bad guys aren’t usually bad guys, so, there’s no way you could tell us to get out on good terms. Don’t you think so?”
“Of-, of course, the language must have been a bit harsh.”
“Alright. If you think it’s not good to talk harshly, you would strike someone a little, and then it goes wrong and people can die. Not all murders are intentional in the first place. We know it well among us, so what’s wrong?”
Oh Tong-su shook his head obstinately.
“Absolutely no! No matter how fierce the fight was I swear we had no intentions to kill! When we received the request, we weren’t asked to promise in vainly that we should never kill anyone!”
“You punk! Does it make sense to come inside the house in the middle of the night with no intention of killing?”
