Chapter 191: Continuing Danger
Zhuge Jigang, frowning as he rode in a four-man palanquin, muttered to himself.
“Every time I come here, I feel the same thing—the air in this place is truly unpleasant.”
The muggy air of Yunnan Province possessed something that stirred irritation in people simply by existing within it.
Moreover, Zhuge Jigang’s mood could hardly have been good, having to come to the front lines in Yunnan Province as if he were being exiled.
He suppressed the urge to vent his frustration everywhere with reason and began to organize his tasks ahead.
First, he surveyed the elite three hundred or so men of the Black Tiger Corps, Black Wolf Corps, and Black Dragon Corps guarding his immediate vicinity.
‘The first thing I must do is pick out my own men from among them. I need to figure out exactly where the loyalty lies with the leader.’
If he could not select those who were completely trustworthy, no matter how much time passed, he would inevitably remain nothing more than a pawn in the hands of Murong Jian, the leader of the Martial Alliance.
Therefore, Zhuge Jigang resolved to stake his very life on this task.
‘After that, I must erase the remnants of the Sword Saint on the front lines. Especially the Biyong Shisan Dae, where his daughter was—they need to be properly dealt with.’
Zhuge Jigang intended to wipe out not only that so-called outstanding figure, Seolpung, but also the seven core members of the Dragon’s Thirteen who had acted alongside Hae Cheong-yeon.
