Entomologist In Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 340

Chapter 340

340

Together with Hwa-eun and Seol, I followed the path of the opening of Yeongcheonbu to the Haomun branch of Yeongcheonbu.

In a slightly unusual way.

Sister Hwa-eun and Seol, each holding my arm tightly.

It looked like I was being dragged away.

Originally, I was going to go with Buntaju, but it turned out like this and I ended up going with two people because of the location.

Since it was an urgent matter, we decided to leave right after finishing our conversation.

“Okay. Then shall we go right now?”

“Okay. But your clothes···”

“Little Dragon, are you okay? Are you tired?”

“Yes, but thanks to Hwa-eun, I was able to get some sleep, and I can’t be late, so I’ll be back soon. Hyang-ah, Hong-dan, let’s go!”

-Tsrrrr!

-Kkii!

When I call Hyang-i and Hong-dan-i, who always accompany me when I go out, they crawl over and stick to their spot.

The fragrance clung to his body like armor, and the red color clung to his shoulder like decoration.

Since we had been doing this for quite some time, we both knew what to do.

This made it easier to camouflage myself so people would see me as some weird guy in armor rather than a kid.

“Ugh! So this is the poison you’re raising!?”

Elder Punggae is surprised by the appearance of two children.

He introduced the children with a smile.

“Yes, this Goku is Hyang, my second daughter, and Hongdan here is the youngest.”

“Heh heh… Are you talking about your daughter?”

“Should I say hello to you guys?”

-Tsurut.

-Beep.

As the two children bowed to the old man, a voice of admiration was heard.

“Is this the first time I’ve seen anything like this in my life?”

“Yes, that’s right. Let’s go.”

Yeah, where else would you see something like this? It was obvious that if not me, there was no one else in the Central Plains who could show it to you.

He said casually, stepping onto the plank that spanned the harbor and setting off, but then he heard the panicked voice of the old man, Punggae, behind him.

“Okay, just wait a minute!”

Let’s look back and see Elder Poonggae with an embarrassed expression.

When I tilted my head, the old man Punggae spoke with an embarrassed expression.

“I was flustered when the kids showed up, but it’s a bit of a place to go like that. No, it’s not like we’re going on a campaign. If you have nice clothes, why don’t you wear them and go?

“I just need to pretend like I’m a beggar and came here to beg, but you are a bit···”

“yes?”

‘What? Is there a dress code?’

No, where on earth are you going that there’s a dress code in this central plains?

The streets are filled with people who only show their stomachs and are called “Bang Ye” in their past lives. These people come into restaurants and eat naturally, and that’s the Central Plains.

When I made a face that said it was ridiculous, the old man Punggae scratched his head and said.

“No, because the place I’m going to is a mess···.”

Before I could even say anything, Kiru said:

A sharp voice shooting from behind the back of the head.

“Giru!?”

“What the heck!?”

When I looked back, Hwa-eun and Seol’s eyebrows had changed into the antenna shape of the mecha stuff I liked in my past life.

It’s a V shape.

That’s why we ended up going together like this.

“I don’t think I can send Little Dragon alone.”

“I think so too.”

It was clear that the line, ‘A man can go to a bar because of work’ only appeared in dramas.

It was possible in our fathers’ generation, but it seems it wasn’t possible in this Central Plains where it’s older than that.

‘Is this why you shouldn’t learn about life through dramas?’

Anyway, it was when I was heading to Baekhyangru, the best giraffe in Yeongcheonbu, between Hwa-eun and Seol.

A thought that occurred to me as I walked down the street, feeling as if I was being dragged along.

A question arose as to whether it would not be better to go to the headquarters, which is the base, rather than the branch office, which is a lower-level organization.

Since it’s a matter of striking at the bases of the Blood Cult and the Five Poisons, it would be better to meet the person in charge at the base rather than attack them.

I had to meet with the union president. I thought that if I met with a union member, it would interfere with the meeting.

And it might not be Kiru.

From what I’ve heard, Haomen is a union of a coachman called Cha, a boatman called Seon, a shopkeeper called Jeom, a porter called Gak, a human trafficker called Ah, a thief called Tu, a pickpocket called Bae, and a gisaeng called Gi. So the headquarters might not be Giru, and if so, there’s no reason for me to be passing by like this.

I was getting a lot more attention now than when I went out wearing my armor alone.

“Does the young guy have a lot of money?”

“If not, why would such pretty women be clinging to me like that?”

“Hey! I told you the world is going to end?”

I asked the old man, Punggae, who was walking slightly away from the sound of muttering coming from both sides of the road.

“But wouldn’t it be better to go to Haomen’s base rather than Bunta?”

“Surely you have to meet the highest person, right?”

Sister Seol agreed with what I said and listened to what I had to say. Then, Elder Poonggae answered while chewing on the jerky he had given us earlier.

“The Haomen base is in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. If we get there, won’t the Blood Cult and the Wudok Cult all run away? Tsk tsk.”

“Oh, Haomen’s base was in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province?”

I also knew a little about Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.

Because it was close to Haenam Island where I lived alone.

Most of the various items that occasionally come into Haenam Island by boat are said to have come from Gwangju.

Didn’t you say you were in charge of the southern trade, which is said to be the most profitable in the Central Plains?

“That’s right. And there’s no need to worry, the Haomun clan leader in Gwangju is a person who will do anything. So there’s already someone who has been designated as the successor.

That is the branch office of Yeongcheon-bu. Yeongcheon-bu has long been the place where the next Haomun lord is in charge.”

“Oh, I see.”

In the end, it was said that we had to go to Giru, so we walked a little along the riverside, passed Giru, which was closed due to the work of Eunuch Heo, and a five-story pavilion came into view.

Baekhyangru (Baekhyangru).

It was said that there were a hundred different scents.

***

I went to the market that was open from evening until dawn, so of course it was closed.

We headed to the back side door.

After looking around, the old man Punggae knocked on the side door.

-Thump thump!

“Hey, give me some food.”

We felt embarrassed for no reason when we heard the proud old man shouting, even though we weren’t begging together.

Even though I was standing a little bit away.

-Thump thump!

As the old man knocked on the door twice, it opened and a young-looking woman who appeared to be a gisaeng came out, sighing.

“Elder Poonggae, you said that we don’t beg in our village anymore.”

Then, Elder Punggae looked at us with a puzzled expression.

He answered with a serious expression.

“Oh my, this guy, when did I ever beg here? I have an important guest with me today, so please show him to Rouge.”

“Guests? No, why are you giving us guests in this open space?”

The gisaeng looked bewildered at the news that she had brought a guest.

That would be the case, since it’s like one of the two branch managers of a restaurant competing for information in the central region bringing customers to the other restaurant.

They had no reason to introduce guests since they were the ones who received them.

As the gisaeng looked at us over the old man’s shoulder with a bewildered expression on her face, the old man nodded and whispered softly.

“There’s something we need to do together. Please give Rouge a chimney.

Behind them are the son-in-law of the Sacheon Dang family, the Cheonha Dokmulpapa Soryong Sohyeop, his lover Dang Hwaeun of the Sacheon Dang family, and Soju Seolbyo of the Beast Palace.”

The gisaeng is startled when the old man looks at us and speaks.

The surprised gisaeng, perhaps because of our status, quickly let us into the side door.

“Yes!? ···T, please wait over here for now. I’ll tell Rouge.”

As I entered through the side door, it was a backyard and there were a few more gisaengs inside, and I could hear the sound of Seol’s sister’s condolences.

[Little Dragon, they are all courtesans who have learned martial arts.]

[Little Dragon, you must be careful, they are courtesans who have mastered martial arts.]

Looking at the temples of the gisaengs at the two’s words, they definitely felt slightly more bulgy than those of ordinary people.

When you learn martial arts, the temples near your temples start to swell slightly, and that characteristic is evident.

But now that I had reached Samhwachwijeong, I had Dong-i in my arms and Hong-dan on my wrist.

Since there was also a sandal hidden on Hwa-eun’s head, I looked around without thinking much of it.

As soon as I entered the shelter, a familiar scent started to waft around.

It wasn’t the scent of flowers or anything like that, but it was the smell that I could feel from my neighbors.

What does that mean?

Birdcages were hung here and there in the garden, and mandarin ducks, ducks, and geese were leisurely swimming in the garden pond.

Even a few peacocks were visible.

‘Isn’t this similar?’

Although they are different types, it feels like they are all fans of the same genre.

That’s understandable, since the mandarin ducks were swimming with their chicks.

I know that mandarin ducks are very difficult to tame, but if you let them loose and raise them like that, they won’t run away after raising their chicks, so they must be very friendly.

“This way.”

A voice heard while looking at the pond.

When I turned my head, the young courtesan from earlier was approaching me.

I followed her past the pond and into the backyard.

It was sperm.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Eunbi Roo from Baekwolru.”

The woman standing in front of the pavilion and bowing her head politely had a face with red lips and tear stains around her eyes, and to anyone who looked at her, she had the dignified and proud appearance of a gisaeng, but she was wearing blue see-through clothes…

Hwa-eun’s hand was covering my right eye, and Seol’s sister’s hand was covering my left eye, so I couldn’t see them in detail anymore.

“Oh, it’s been a while. Eunbi.”

“This is the Dang Hwa-eun of Sacheon Dangga.”

“It’s called a snow leopard.”

“It’s a little dragon.”

As I was playing the lottery blindfolded, the woman answered me in an apologetic voice without saying anything.

“Originally, we should have brought you to the fifth floor. However, since Elder Punggae is here, we had no choice but to bring you here from the pavilion. Please do not be angry. Tea has been prepared, so please drink it and chat.”

It seemed strange to suddenly apologize, but Hwa-eun explained it to me over the phone.

“In this kind of restaurant, the level of service varies depending on the guest’s status.

The fifth floor is the highest level of guests. The lower you go, the lower the status.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you up to the fifth floor because of the smell of your old man.”

When I nod my head at Hwa-eun’s explanation, my body is guided to sit down.

As I sat down, my covered eyes were lifted, and it seemed that Eunbi, a rouge named Rouge, had started fanning herself, covering her body.

“By the way, how did you find me here? I heard we were going to do some work together. What is it?”

“Oh, that’s what I mean. It’s because of the Blood Cult and the Five Poisons.”

“Blood sect and five poisons!?”

Rouge’s eyes widened at the mention of blood ties and poison.

Old Man Punggae nodded and explained why we had come.

Now that you’ve discovered the secret businesses run by the Blood Cult and the Odogmun, why don’t you join in destroying them?

“······That’s why, wouldn’t you like to help us out a little?”

Then, Eunbi, the owner of the kiln, smiled with the corners of her lips twitching.

“Elder, you know that our Haomen does not work like Gaebong···.”

Certainly, I remembered what Hwa-eun had told me before: Hao-mun was a place where you couldn’t move if you didn’t have money.

So, what I meant was that I wouldn’t do it for free, the old man asked back, revealing his rotten teeth.

“It seems like Eunuch Heo’s Giru will be a big gain now that it’s gone. Could it be that Eunuch Heo’s Giru is the only place in the Central Plains that those guys are secretly operating?”

“!”

Then an exclamation mark appeared in Rouge’s head.

When Elder Punggae asked me to meet Haomun Buntaju, I thoughtlessly followed him, but when I checked the list in my head, I saw that there were many places where Haomun clashed with the businesses of the Blood Cult and the Five Dogs, such as restaurants, bars, and pubs.

As I was running it secretly, I seemed to have no choice but to associate with people who did low-level work.

The one who will benefit from pushing this out is Haomen.

It seemed that the old man had not come without thinking, but had thought about it.

‘Is it really open?’

The question that follows as I admire in my heart.

Rouge was sitting in front of the tea table.

“Well, then?”

“Well, if I may give you one as a gift, it’s Taewolgak in Gwangju.”

“Taewolgak!? Is that true?”

“Then, this is what So, Sohyeop found out by personally interrogating the leader of the Blood Cult Blood Sound Alliance. By the way, isn’t Bokju’s situation in danger these days?”

“!”

As the old man Poonggae said a few words as if scratching an itch, Eunbi Rooju’s embarrassed expression returned to its original haughty expression.

And then he smiled with a calm expression.

“We, Haomen, are also part of the martial arts world. It is only natural that we lend a helping hand for the peace of the martial arts world.”

It seemed like he was offering to help, but there was a condition attached.

“However, since it is not possible to do it for free according to the Haomen’s rules, it seems like we should make it a condition of exchange on the surface. Is that okay?”

“exchange?”

“Yes, it’s nothing special. I’ll just exchange one piece of information that Confucius knows. Haomen has a rule that says you can’t do something for free.”

There are many precepts and unwritten rules in the martial arts world, but it seems that Haomun has a precept that says they won’t do anything for free.

So it seemed like they were saying that they needed something, but let’s do it in exchange for one piece of information that I knew.

“Okay. What kind of information is this? Let’s listen and decide.”

Since information about the children was difficult, let’s first hear what kind of information it was. Eunbi asked with a smile.

“I heard that a court lady whom the prince was very fond of went to the prince’s ship and then disappeared. She seems to be the next empress or the prince’s concubine. Do you know who she is?

“It’s not a bad thing. I’m just trying to get in line.”

At Eunbi’s question, Hwaeun and Seol covered their mouths and looked shocked.

“Huh!?”

“Cow, cow dragon!?”

“Your beauty is so pretty. The prince has been looking for you for the past few days.”

At Eunbi Rouge’s words that followed, the two’s eyes widened even further and every hair on my head stood on end.
