Black poetry is a kind of marketplace for all things.

To be precise, it was a night market where restrictions on items were lifted and commercial goods were excluded.

They sell anything, but fakes and stolen goods are rampant, and rip-offs and scams are commonplace.

“Well, is there all that garbage like the tourist attraction merchant association? “Aren’t you going to stab me?”

“If you break the rules of the dark city, assassins from all over the martial arts will attack you. “The Black Spot owner is putting a huge bounty on it.”

“Sunspot owner? Does black poetry have a separate owner? hmm? “No, you’re telling me you’re leaving the mess alone even though the owner is there?”

“Because it makes more money. “It’s that kind of place.”

Usually, even after hearing this explanation, people in Jungwon have to go there in person to understand what it means.

However, Cheong heard the explanation and immediately understood.

So, it’s a used country.

A place where new, used, new, fake, and stolen goods run rampant, and where rip-offs and scams are a daily occurrence.

“So, where is it?”

“The location changes every time, but with a few tips, you can find out the location right away.”

“Hey, if it weren’t for Zhuge, we would have been lost for a long time. After all, it’s convenient to have a smart friend.”

“You are right, sister.”

When I praised him at best, he came back with a spiteful self-praise.

weird. Was he always like this?

I think he was a bit humble.

Are you the type that shows your true colors when you get close?

Cheong didn’t know, but it was the perfect answer.

Rather than being a characteristic of Zhuge Yi County, it can be said to be a blood kinship temperament passed down from generation to generation by the Zhuge clan.

Even from our great ancestor Zhuge Liang, the closer we got to each other, the more condescending and unlucky he was.

He was doubly unlucky because he actually did well.

Thanks to this, just when Cheong was running out of things to say, his sister-in-law came back with a bright smile.

“Sister-in-law, I’m here!”

“uh? oh. what. “What is the momentum?”

Since his strength increased significantly, it seemed like he had taken the elixir and had risen to the level.

“Yep! “I’m a complete warrior now!”

“You have achieved enlightenment.”

“enlightenment? is it?”

Gyeon Po-hee tilted his head.

Zhuge Yi-hyeon added politely.

“Originally, enlightenment is not a concept clear enough to describe in words, so you may not know much about it. Congratulations on Daesung.”

“huh! thank you!”

Gyeon Po-hee may be stupid, but she has good senses, so she understood why Cheong expressed the need to clean up after him.

Through Sister Seol’s lecture on common sense in the Central Plains, I also learned that Hwanhee Palace’s training methods are highly despised by the powerful.

Cheong looked at Dannan and said.

“Dangnan, try harder.”

“What, I’m poisonous? “If you add that, I’m stronger than him, right?”

Tang Nan-ah pointed a point at Zhuge Yi-hyeon.

Dang Nan-ah is a quack council member who is gentle with Cheong, but she is not like the original Anhamu, but she is an evil woman who is obsessed with beauty instead of character.

Cheong touched his smooth chin for a moment and thought deeply.

It’s the poison of the party family.

“hmm. admit. If I were to poison it, I might be able to give it somewhere between the end of the climax and the beginning of the climax. Then, Jegal, please work harder.”

“Sister, isn’t it the virtue of a gentleman to know his shortcomings? Emperor Wu is well aware of my shortcomings.”

Zhuge Yihyun smiled and answered.

Cheong snorted in amusement, saying that he doesn’t get made fun of because he’s a smart guy.

Afterwards, he left Bangacheolbang and settled down in a shabby tea house under the leadership of Jegal Yihyeon.

After all, the restaurant looks a bit old and unsophisticated, doesn’t it?

Cheong ordered a lot of snacks, but it seemed like they would come out quickly, and then dry ones that looked like they had been made for a while came out.

It was tasteless.

Cheong took out his endless anger on the snacks.

It means that they ate like a pig.

In the meantime, Jegal Yi-hyeon stood up to find the owner of the tea shop, and I thought he would protest, but instead of mentioning the poor snacks, he only asked about the news that a black market was being held near Sookap Lake in the east.

“No, the snacks came out like this, so is dark poetry important now? “I also need to take a look at the owner’s face.”

“Have you already eaten everything? And since it was a black spot business in the first place, you would be the first customer this year to actually order snacks. But isn’t that a dragon car? Why is there frost on the teacup? Even if it is a disguised business, isn’t it a joke that goes too far to show off its courage? How dare you do such a terrible thing to the guests of the Zhuge family… … ”

Zhuge Yi-hyeon looked genuinely angry.

It would have been better to leave the poor tea store like this to be overturned, but Cheong obediently confessed it on his behalf.

“ah. I floated some thin ice with an ice ball. I like to drink it a little colder. “Would you like me to give you something cold?”

“oh my god! Sister, are you crazy!?”

Sigh!

Cheong cast the hack honey balm he learned while getting hit on the head.

“Ahh!”

“This thing is creeping up more and more. Jegal, brother, do you want to see me go crazy? Shall I show you?”

“No, sister! “What kind of unrivaled magic is this?”

Zhuge Yi-hyeon couldn’t speak properly because he was rubbing his head until it burned.

Cheong snorted happily.

A big, distracted guy is going to kill you.

If I try Master’s original technique, my head will be split open.

“What kind of power… … Super strength… … ”

Jegal Yihyun, who was rubbing his head, suddenly took on a serious expression.

“Well, maybe. “Did you stop by the State Warriors training center when you were staying at the Zhuge family?”

“Musang of the State?”

Cheong’s expression whispered to Zhuge Yi-hyeon.

What is that? Are you eating it?

“In the post-perineum battle of the fraud known as Guksa Mussang… … ”

Roughly, Nara-guk, Seonbi-sa, no radish, two pairs.

It was an amazing feat to keep talking for almost half a hour about being an unrivaled scholar in the country, meaning the best talent.

It was only then that Cheong realized the meaning of the word peerless, which is sometimes used.

ah. That’s what it means.

Perhaps he forgot something while explaining it, but the story about the training center disappeared, and Jegal Yi-hyeon, who showed off his knowledge to the fullest, satisfactorily brought up the next story.

“It would be a good idea to have a hearty dinner before leaving for Sukap Lake. “Heuksi also sells snacks, but it is better not to touch them at all because you might end up eating human flesh.”

It’s nice to hear that people eat dinner beforehand.

It was also nice to hear that it was a healthy meal.

However, it is harsh to just go to the night market and look around.

“Then if you eat something other than meat…” … ”

“If you want to eat centipedes, spiders, scorpions, etc., I won’t stop you.”

“hmm. I ate too much when I was a beggar. It was tasteless. No, you’re not going to eat it raw, are you? “Would it be any different if I sprinkled some seasoning on it and grilled it?”

Then Tangnan suddenly intervened.

“What, were you a beggar?”

Cheong was speechless for a moment.

“hmm. It’s me. What does it mean? “Does this mean that a girl from a high-ranking Tang family will not pretend to be a beggar?”

“No no no, I mean, that’s not it. I’m just saying that because it’s surprising, and I’m definitely not saying it to make you feel bad. Sorry, Cheong, you’re our friend, right? huh?”

“okay. You’re a friend. You have no friends other than me. “I know you’re grateful.”

“huh. thank you… … ”

It seemed like the behavior of a friendless idiot who even kept repeating words without any thought, so Cheong understood that it was like that and moved on.

After that, we had dinner and left for Juma branch.

They said they couldn’t ride the Zhuge family’s express carriage because emblems that could reveal their affiliation were prohibited.

Even if that is not the case, if you take a carriage, it will be stolen or taken by another passenger, so you have to walk.

So, the group walked along the road while chatting with each other, but it was dark and there was no other scenery to see on an early spring night.

“That’s surprising. I didn’t know you would cook for me too. “I thought you would leave a bowl on the floor, fill it with soggy rice, and tell me to eat like a dog.”

Dannan nodded next to him.

Cheong said in bewilderment.

“What on earth am I doing in your heads? And no matter how much you hate people, you don’t play around with what you eat. Even if you kill him right away, you have to feed him and then kill him.”

The Napa warrior flinched at that.

To be precise, no matter how much of a bastard you are, you should not be allowed to eat what you eat.

If you really need to kill it, you should feed it plenty of poison. It would be too much to not let it eat at all or make it just a sight to see.

It’s not like I have any grand beliefs, it’s just that Cheong was very sad about eating, so that’s what happened.

As we climbed over the hill, chatting like that, a huge night market opened up in the field with a large lake behind us.

There seemed to be more than a thousand yellow lanterns, and the gathering of tents there had the grandeur of a small town.

“Sister, I think you should take off your cotton cloth now. “You can’t cover your face during a dark night.”

“huh? They say symbols that could indicate affiliation are prohibited? But do I have to cover my face again?”

“That is, a story that goes back to the origins of black poetry. Past sunspots… … ”

In short, it was a place where one could neither hide one’s identity nor reveal it too much.

Even if you meet someone you know, you should not talk about meeting them publicly.

You just have to pretend that you met face to face in a dream and pretend it never happened.

Therefore, symbols that reveal your identity are prohibited.

Officially, people who have never visited Heuksi should not walk around wearing the emblem.

However, the face must be revealed.

This was just a rule that Heuksi unilaterally set to stop the bastards from messing around.

“It’s called tyranny by the seller.”

Anyway, it was nice to hear that there was no need to use cotton yarn, so Cheong took it off and held it aside.

Of course, it is Gyeon Po-hee’s job to take care of it.

“hey. Na-i. “Where should I go now?”

“Well, the meat market is always in the deepest place.”

“This is to prevent the product from escaping.”

Zhuge Yi-hyeon even added a note.

Heck, that group doesn’t rest.

Do you have muscles in your mouth too?

Ah Sang spoke of human traffickers in the midfield.

The culture of human trafficking is so widespread in ancient, uncivilized, and primitive China that it even has a separate occupational name that is six characters long.

So it was the same in Qing’s hometown.

Human traffickers are the most loved occupation by the Chinese people, boasting the second largest scale in the world, and have a very efficient and scientific system ranging from systematic distribution process to dismantling and export according to classification.

Of course, since they are not the best in the world, they claim that if they are caught because the party’s pride is damaged, they will be put to death.

However, in reality, about 60% of the money left over from the sale of a person went to the communist nobles, so it was actually closer to a play than a death sentence.

For reference, the home of human trafficking, the paradise of human trafficking, the great suzerain country of human trafficking, and the overwhelming number one, is a country with a large population located beyond the high mountains in the southwestern part of the Central Plains.

It was also a nation of terrible criminals whose entire population (in this country, women are not included in the population because they are not people) were sex offenders, robbers and murderers, and pickpockets as a sideline.

If you go on a trip alone, your chances of returning are only 50%.

Women are always on a one-way trip, so men can trust the power of statistics and give it a try.

Anyway, the group passed through the dark city without difficulty.

Then, the whole thing smelled so delicious that my mouth started watering, and it wasn’t until a while later that a flag called Wangbujeong appeared.

With an entire alley heating up an iron plate to cook food, the smell was bound to spread far and wide.

And surprisingly, the delicious smell was actually grilled skewers of all kinds of insects!
