Chapter 183: Hanjung
“Depart!”
At Yukhak’s shout, the disciples began leading their horses.
Passing through the crowded vicinity of Guryongseong, it was a safety measure.
Waaah-!
The seventy disciples left behind at the Zhenwang Gate waved their hands to see us off.
They were the ones assigned to rear-guard duty, which could be seen as a kind of vacation, and the forces left behind to support the Han Zhong Shang Lian Kowloon City branch.
‘Surely they won’t kill them?’
Though I had no idea how Master Beigong would train them.
A little further on, we saw a large number of commoners gathered outside the city walls.
The old woman from the beef noodle shop, who had often helped us during the Seventeen Commandery period, approached and handed us something.
“Heh heh, I baked some pancakes for you to eat on your journey.”
“……Please stay healthy until we meet again.”
“As you can see, I don’t have much time left. I don’t know if we’ll meet again. Heh heh.”
Starting with her, the cries of the people reached him.
Lord Gatekeeper! Stay healthy!
You must return!
Hey! Bring us something delicious when you come back!
He looked around and nodded in greeting.
Sniff.
The yellow dust had blown fiercely since morning; sand must have gotten into my eyes. Tears just keep flowing.
Only after completely leaving the vicinity of Guryongseong did Yukhak halt his steps.
“Mount up!”
Simultaneously with his shout, the disciples mounted their horses as one.
The surprise training planned secretly last night.
