Chapter 108: Inexperienced Forest Purge (1)
The Daehwa Service provider Group was one of many high service provider teams in Huguang Province.
In reality, their declare was a bit exaggerated; theyre barely much less outstanding. Nonetheless, theyre not less than the twelfth largest.
The truth that they managed their very own service provider group throughout the huge Central Plains and past the boundaries of the province spoke to their significance.
They’d good relations with the key sect, the Azure Forest, a lot in order that not solely Jin Ri-yeon but additionally different disciples of the Azure Forest have been indebted to the Daehwa Service provider Group.
Naturally, the bigger service provider teams in Huguang Province, like them, operated industrial routes as much as Kaifeng in Henan.
Though the Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, Kaifeng remained a large metropolis.
Its the origin of the time period sleepless metropolis, shining brightly day and evening.
Its additionally dwelling to the orthodox Murim Alliance, a spot the place aspiring martial artists dream of visiting.
This was no totally different for the third-generation disciples of the Azure Forest.
Opposite to expectations, they ended up serving as guards for the Daehwa Service provider Group, however they tried exhausting to suppress any ominous emotions.
The service provider group had items to move, with ox-drawn carts. With a gaggle of twenty, there was no have to take treacherous mountain paths.
They largely traveled on well-maintained official roads, often traversing mountains, so it appeared unlikely they’d encounter tough conditions.
Above all, they have been reassured by the type and respectful angle of the service provider group chief.
Although they have been employed as guards, the service provider group chief didnt deal with the third-generation disciples as mere warriors.
Respectfully addressing them as sir warriors, Son Hee-il, who was simply of age, felt his shoulders rise with satisfaction.
The short-witted Son Hee-il, observing this, urged an thought.
Seems, the silver we acquired as cost is far more than what regular guards get. May or not it’s due to that?
Due to what? What are you speaking about?
Nicely, our Azure Forest is sort of famend in Hunan, proper? It could be their method of sustaining a great relationship with a serious sect.
Which means
It means in the event that they handle us next-generation successors now, sometime effectively develop into essential martial artists in our sect.
That sounded believable.
It was a pointy and considerably audacious deduction.
In actual fact, many service provider teams did sponsor next-generation successors.
Maybe the Daehwa Service provider Group was aiming for that too.
Who would have thought beneath that plump service provider group leaders expression lay such shrewd calculations?
The third-generation disciples felt a way of satisfaction, blended with rigidity from their enterprise into the ruthless martial world.
They didnt hassle sharing their hypothesis with Jin Ri-yeon.
However that was a mistake on their half.
Had Jin Ri-yeon heard it, she would have certainly corrected them.
Its a false impression, she would have mentioned.
The chief of the Daehwa Service provider Group wasnt so bold or complicated.
The rationale for the beneficiant cost was merely to get their moneys price of labor.
Nonetheless, the third-generation disciples quickly discovered their function.
It was after they first encountered bandits within the mountains, leaving the Hunan area.
These bandits, who fancied themselves as noble Inexperienced Forest members, have been a typical sight for service provider teams on every journey.
The third-generation disciples tensed up on the sight of the Inexperienced Forest members however werent overly frightened.
Its not sensible to have interaction in bloody battles each time they crossed the mountains. Most conditions have been resolved in a extra average method.
A burly man, wanting unwashed for a month with bushy hair, stepped ahead.
He had a gap the place his proper eye must be, not even coated with an eye fixed patch, maybe to seem extra intimidating.
Cough, spit!
The gruff Inexperienced Forest member spat out thick phlegm, baring his yellow tooth as he acknowledged the service provider group chief.
Beside him stood a lean man, seemingly his subordinate.
Its been some time, Daehwa Service provider Group Chief.
Recognizing and greeting the chief urged they’d met earlier than and had handed with out incident.
Our heroes of the Azure Forest and Daehwa Service provider Group assembly once more like this can be a heavenly destiny. Actually a 3 hemps romance no, wait. Vice Fort Chief, what was it?
Its three lifetimes unusual destiny.
Proper, three lifetimes unusual destiny, isnt it?
The seemingly illiterate bandit surprisingly used a literary phrase, probably with the assistance of the particular person known as Vice Fort Chief beside him.
From the Thirty-Six Forts of Inexperienced Forest, underneath the good Dragons Den Fort, our Dragon Alliance Fort brothers Uh, what was it once more, Search engine marketing Saeng-won?
You should do not forget that we diligently keep these mountain paths.
Sure, certainly.
However Kang Ho-gul, the chief of Dragon Alliance Fort, although weak in martial arts, was a person of wickedness.
That wretched girl, boys, take them down!
As he shouted, his imaginative and prescient out of the blue went black.
Pffft!
With a grimace, Jin Ri-yeon swiftly handled Kang Ho-gul. It was Kang Ho-guls luck that the huge distinction in martial arts prowess didnt lead to his loss of life.
It appeared he had fairly loyal subordinates.
Though the one known as Vice Fort Chief instantly fled, a number of bandits gripped their weapons.
Kill them!
Fort Chief!
There have been those that shot arrows and others who charged with crude blades.
Although greater than half instantly turned to flee, the third-generation disciples inevitably drew their swords.
That chief of the service provider group!
Son Hee-il, infuriated, minimize down the bandit charging on the entrance.
He hadnt anticipated to achieve sensible expertise so quickly.
Simply giving cash would have sufficed, however the service provider group chief had intentionally provoked them. Son Hee-il resolved to seize the service provider group leaders collar as soon as this was over.
Yu Su-rin dashed previous his aspect, deflecting an incoming arrow along with her whip sword, and remarked.
Wasnt Senior Ri-yeon actually cool?
I dont know!
About ten bandits didnt flee however charged as a substitute.
None have been expert in martial arts, however the third-generation disciples hearts pounded, going through sudden actual fight.
Fortunately, nobody, together with the service provider group members, was harm.
Jin Ri-yeon intervened each time hazard arose.
Nonetheless, even after the exhausting first actual battle, Son Hee-il couldnt punish the service provider group chief.
As a result of his revered senior, Jin Ri-yeon, had defined with a smile, It was the order of the Knowledge Sword Pavilion Grasp.
The elders of the sect decreed to dismantle the Inexperienced Forest mountain strongholds that have been extorting the frequent folks on the way in which to Kaifeng.
The Daehwa Service provider Group Chief, upon listening to the Azure Forests suggestion, was thrilled and took motion. For him, it was a welcome alternative to cope with the bandits who have been at all times a expensive nuisance.
Thats why he had given a lot silver to the third-generation disciples.
So, does this imply effectively proceed to do that?
At the least till we attain Kaifeng, proper?
The subsequent-generation successors of the orthodox faction defeating bandits was certainly a conventional act of heroism.
Nonetheless, the issue was that this Inexperienced Forest subjugation was extraordinarily arduous and unprofitable, so nobody did it anymore.
Hehe, due to you warriors, not solely our service provider group but additionally the native farmers can journey to and from their villages in peace.
The service provider group chief, rubbing his palms subserviently, was undeniably irritating.
Jin Ri-yeon provided some encouragement in his method.
I bear in mind once I went to the Dragon-Phoenix Convention.
What number of instances did you encounter Inexperienced Forest members then?
Nicely, perhaps
Jin Ri-yeon counted on one hand, then began relying on the opposite.
About seven instances?
To do that six extra instances
It wasnt a small quantity. However, if these have been the kind of scoundrels theyre coping with, it was actually doable.
Roughly as soon as each two or three days, they would want to subdue bandits.
It must be tremendous.
We will handle it.
The third-generation disciples compelled a smile.
Nonetheless, the seven instances Jin Ri-yeon talked about didn’t maintain true.
Precisely double.
By the point the third-generation disciples and Daehwa Service provider Group reached Kaifeng, the place the Murim Alliance was, they’d toppled a complete of 14 minor mountain strongholds.
It was unclear whether or not the Inexperienced Forest had expanded its affect because the final Dragon-Phoenix Convention, or if villagers had taken up pitchforks and fled to the mountains on account of famine. However the mountains have been teeming with Inexperienced Forest members.
The third-generation disciples, who as soon as dreamed of creating a reputation via heroic acts, had not anticipated such a possibility to come back so quickly.
Furthermore, they hadnt anticipated that upon their arrival in Kaifeng, an unknown nickname can be born.
No one knew.
