Chapter 52 Who’s That

Chapter 52 Who's That?

As Du Cheng, the new vice lord of the angelic realm of Wuyang, rode his horse through the moonlit city, he suddenly pulled the reins.
“Whoa.”
He saw people scurrying across the street with torches.
“What’s all the fuss about?
The dozen or so men are the officers of the command center.
“I don’t think it’s here.”
“It’s been quite a while already, let’s finish searching this area.”
“You could have gotten away on horseback earlier…….”
Then one of the troopers who spotted Du Cheng shouted.
“Hey, wait a minute!”
Quickly, the group shined their torches on him to see what he was up to.
Ducheng asked in a friendly tone.
“What’s going on?”
“We’d like to ask for your cooperation with the inspection. There was an intruder in this cow about half past one, and we’re searching the area.”
“So…… you’re doubting me now?”
“Oh, it’s a courtesy inquiry, so don’t take offense. Where are you off to tonight?”
“I left yesterday for personal business and just got here.”
“Hmm, you don’t appear to be carrying any weapons, and…… did you see anyone of questionable behavior on your way here?”
“Not at all.”
At Du Cheng’s short answer, the courtesy officer exchanged glances with the others before asking again.
“If you have something in your hand, would you mind taking it out and showing me?”
“What if I don’t?”
Du Cheng raised an eyebrow and retorted bluntly, the guardsman’s expression hardened slightly.
“What?”
“Demanding. You know who I am and you dare to get on the subject of minions…….”
“He’s rude!”
The moment the spirited trooper raised his voice, the trooper standing next to him let out a muffled cry.
“Oops, he’s an angel!”
Another trooper chimed in.
“The cadre’s selfless sword!”
Ducheng was dressed in casual clothes, so he didn’t realize his identity until later.
Seeing the bewilderment in the soldiers’ eyes, Du Cheng introduced himself in a cocky manner.
“This is Ducheng of the Angelic Chamber. Apparently there are some who are spherical?”
The guards looked puzzled.
Angelic Fang was the head of the Wuyang clan, favored by many officials.
So it was kind of an unwritten rule not to mess with that executive team.
The trooper at the front scratched the back of his head and said.
“Oh, I’m so sorry about this. It was night and I didn’t recognize your face, it was a simple mistake…… so please don’t take it to heart.”
He did so because he was worried that the angel room executives, who were unhappy about this, would use their connections to pressure him.
You avoid poop because you’re afraid of it, or you avoid it because it’s dirty.
“Well, because I’m a small-minded person.”
In a moment of euphoria, Ducheng giggled.
“Didn’t they say that angelic officers can ignore lower ranking officers?”
A challenging voice came from the other side of the room.
A man shuffling toward you.
A forty-striped mantis with an unusual skeleton, beaky seawall, and bushy beard.
A dozen troopers cheered in unison.
“Ah!
The owner of the voice was the platoon leader through the command center.
In the midst of all the panic, a trusted boss showed up.
Ducheng, on the other hand, was less than pleased.
‘Large, half a boubon…….’
He muttered the other man’s name under his breath, and then said it with a nonchalant expression.
“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Anti-Petty Officer. I was merely mildly protesting unfair treatment.”
The sub-captain Ban Bu Feng, who had come to his side, flashed his tiger-like eyes.
“Hey, I don’t like looking up. Look down.”
The command center’s highest ranking officer, Wu Ming, is imposing.
A presence that stands apart from the hordes of troopers.
Du Cheng was reluctant, but he followed the instructions anyway.
“Well, as you requested…….”
He replied with a curt two and was soon on his feet.
May Ban Bubong shine forth and command.
“Show me everything you have in your heart.”
Du Cheng spread his arms wide.
This means that you can browse to your heart’s content.
With a gesture, Ban Bu Feng ordered the guards to search Du Cheng’s body.
There wasn’t much to it, except for a scroll that contained a snack.
As the guards quietly retreated back, Du Cheng lowered his arms and revealed a haughty expression.
Ban Bubong glared at him and said.
“You should have been more cooperative.”
“Huh…… I won’t forget what happened today.”
“What will I do if you forget?”
“You’ll see.”
“Arrogant, you still speak ill of me. You are sorely mistaken if you think the fallen power of the angelic realm will last forever.”
When Ban Bufeng openly expressed his enmity, Du Cheng also set up a gauntlet.
“You’re talking too much. I heard there was some sort of intruder in the command center, and when you couldn’t find him, you got grumpy? I’m warning you…… don’t use this room as a place to vent your Chapter.”
“Warning?”
“Yes.”
“That’s interesting.”
“I could make it more fun for you.”
“Where do you want me to try it?”
Banbubong’s right hand rested on the hilt of his dagger.
Seeing that, Ducheng pulled up one corner of his mouth.
“Do you want to show your hand?”
“If you want it, I don’t see why not.”
When Ban Bufeng became more belligerent, Du Cheng was a little embarrassed.
“Huh! Look at that guy, did he really lose his shit over today’s events? No, some lunatic just wandered into the command center and decided to…….
The tension was palpable.
It’s inevitable.
Ban Bu Feng was the highest ranking official in the command center, so his power was high.
His exact rank is unknown, but he was well versed in the Guanjun style of swordsmanship, and was reputed to be one of the best swordsmen in the martial arts.
“Pair, when are you going to get rid of that eyesore?
Angel Bang has used his connections to pressure Ban Bubong a few times in the past, but without much success.
This was because he was an official who had earned quite a bit of merit from a young age, and because he was always clear about his work, it was easy for bureaucrats who took bribes to catch him in the act.
The reason why Angelsabang wanted to take down Banbubong somehow was simple.
During crackdowns, he was the one who would turn on the lights and take the lead in finding illegal places.
Of course, Angel’s business has survived every bump in the road, thanks to the protection of the Taming Duck.
Still, Ban Bubong was a target that had to be taken down at some point, as he was one of the most nerve-wracking things that popped up on the net.
Du Cheng bit his lip and looked at the current situation coldly.
“Okay, suck it up. We don’t want to scratch and claw. We’re about to do something big…….’
Clutching the hilt of his sword, Banboubon took a step forward.
“What, you don’t want to get your hands dirty?”
“I thought you were clear about the construction, so why are you intimidating me for no good reason?”
“If it’s an angel room, the division of labor is irrelevant.”
Ducheng clenches his fists in response to Ban Bu Feng’s repeated taunts.
“Uh-huh.”
A muffled voice tapped the middle man’s ear.
Ban Bufeng, Du Cheng, and the others turn their heads to the side and see a man approaching them.
“That’s enough, everyone.”
In his mid-to-late thirties, dressed in a robe, he was the Wuyang sage Zhu Yugang.
The banboubons and guards immediately returned the polite courtesy.
“Welcome, Hyunseung.”
Du Cheng suddenly realized the middle-aged man’s identity.
‘Oh, the author is Hyunseung Saew…….’
I’ve heard the words, but this is the first time I’ve seen them face to face.
Zhu Yugang smiled as he came closer.
“You’ve been watching me unintentionally. It’s Ju Yugang. Did you say Ducheng of the angel room?”
Ducheng awkwardly replied.
“Oh, yeah…… nice to meet you.”
“Something bad has happened, and everyone’s on edge. Is it my body’s overeagerness to understand?”
Zhu Yugang said with a smile, and Du Cheng quickly shook his head.
“That’s okay, what…… might be.”
Unlike the Banbubong horde, there’s something favorable about his expression.
Zhu Yugang’s eyes immediately turned to Ban Bufeng.
“Warden, go ahead and apologize.”
“What? Ha, ha, ha…….”
“All’s well that ends well with the neighbors. Isn’t that right?”
At Zhu Yugang’s subtle command, Ban Bufeng swallowed hard and apologized.
“Umm…… sorry about that.”
Du Cheng shook his head and mocked inwardly instead of answering Chapter.
“Hoot, that looks good!
Jooyugang followed closely behind and tiled.
“You too can relax. We should all get along now, shouldn’t we?”
“Yes, I couldn’t agree more.”
Du Cheng replied, and inwardly sang a happy tune.
‘Huh. You’re the official who uncovered the bribe after all, aren’t you?
Only when Hyunseung, who is not familiar with the situation here, reduces the power of the angelic chambers, will he be able to make friends with Chapter.
Zhu Yugang asked, scratching his head.
“Hmm? But did you get the knife?”
“That’s right, I’m in this room on an urgent business…….”
“Didn’t you lose it?”
“Oh, I don’t think so.”
“That’s great, then. Now, just fill out an affidavit. Then I won’t bother you anymore. I promise you on my life.”
Zhu Yugang held out a handheld notice and a quill.
‘Ho ho, you’re not touching him anymore, he’s totally on our side.’
Feeling better, Du Cheng asked Gong Gong and Sepil in an aggressive manner that was scary to accept.
“How do I write it?”
“Just write down where you went and what you did.”
Nodding, Du Cheng thought to himself.
“Let’s use a different location because we’re going to be doing the White House checkpoint soon. We don’t want to get caught later.
Finally, the right spot came to mind, and he teased the brush with a cold stroke.
Zhu Yugang checked it out and smiled faintly.
“Your handwriting is unexpectedly bad. Your handwriting is quite unique.”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“Oh, no. You don’t have to be a scribe.”
“Master Zhu, are we done? Actually, I’m in a bit of a hurry on my way to…… Sorry.”
“Well, well, well, hurry up and go. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Zhu Yugang waved at him with a benevolent expression, and Du Cheng bowed respectfully.
“Yes, I’ll see you then, or no, I’ll get you a good seat in this room soon.”
“Looking forward to it.”
Shortly after Ducheng mounts his horse and disappears down the road.
Ban Bubong said with a smirk.
“It’s hard enough to act on purpose.”
The guards nod their heads in agreement.
I did.
Ban Bufeng and others had heard the plan from Zhu Yugang, who had visited the command center earlier in the day, and had timed their appearance to coincide with Du Cheng’s arrival.
Zhu Yugang, whose face had suddenly changed, looked at the words written on the paper and muttered coldly.
“So…… you’ve been visiting this place? Idiot.”
Deng Xiaoping’s tongue dropped when he saw the writing.
“The wisdom of the Iron Monarch is remarkable.”
Zhu Yugang recalled some of the conversations he’d had with Chul Ryu-Heon earlier.
-Ducheng doesn’t know yet that I’m here a day early. I’ll be passing through that town in a little while, so you can show up and get a statement from him about your visit. It’s as obvious as fire what he’ll write. It’s…….
Zhu Yugang’s face lit up with a bright smile.
‘Iron Curtain, you’re right on the money. How many years ahead of time was I…….’
He soon looked to the half-built pole beside him and gave the order.
“Warden Van, you will travel this way to the neighboring city’s security office and get a copy of the ruling I told you about earlier. It’s a race against time, so do it as soon as possible, do you understand?”
“Yes, Hyunseung. I’ll grab the official letter and get on my way.”
With that, Ban Bu Feng led his troop of servants toward the command center.
Zhu Yugang turned and walked away, his eyes shining.
‘This is our chance to wipe out the filth that’s been tainting our sheep, both unmanned and bureaucratic…….’
* * *
A temple on the southern outskirts of Wuyang.
Sitting with his back against an old, broken Buddha statue, Chuliu Hsin suddenly looked to one side and said.
“Did it go well?”
Then, Ik-hwan and Gyomuk-gak, who had just stepped into the Buddhist temple, spoke side by side.
“You were here before us. Yes, we did what you told us to do.”
“Perhaps by now, the affair between Zhu Hyun-Seung and the two vice patriarchs has been finalized.”
Their mission was to go to the command post, which had been torn down by an iron stream, and shoot an arrow with a piece of paper tied to it.
“Okay, we’re getting close.”
Chul Ryu-Heon’s words were scary to hear, and Kho Komuk asked a question.
“So, Mr. Wenzhou, will you be monitoring the activities in the angel room starting tomorrow?”
“You don’t have to.”
“Yes?”
Seeing the bewildered expression on Gong Mu Gak’s face, Chul Ryu Hyeon nonchalantly stood up.
“I’ve already sent someone.”
“……!”
“I’ve got a retired knifeman on board. He’s perfect for a covert mission.”
“No, who is that?”
“Danduitis ( cutting off the head ).”
At the same time, Kyo Moo-gak and Ip Hwan were stunned.
“Huh!
It’s a natural reaction.
Guillotine.
It was the star sign of a legendary burglar who had disappeared thirty years earlier.
