Chapter 106
0106 : Dark Heaven Village
After the elimination of the Blood Saber Group, I had a private discussion with Ahn Hyeon. The main topics were about how to handle the aftermath and how to return the people captured by the pirates. I refrained from mentioning the brutality of Lingchi, as I thought even Ahn Hyeon, with his ironclad character, would dislike it being brought up.
During the conversation, Deputy Ahn Hyeon remarked,
“We cannot stay here for long. Although we have eradicated the Blood Saber Group, the merchant faction might still be threatened by minor pirates, so we need to hurry and escort them.”
“Are you planning to take the prisoners to Goryeo?”
Here, ‘prisoners’ referred to those enslaved by the pirates. In reality, almost all of the pirates had been wiped out, leaving around seventy among the slaves, making their handling also an important issue.
After a moment of thought, Deputy Ahn Hyeon replied,
“That seems to be the case. Since there are likely Goryeans among them, we will take them home first, then move the rest to the Central Plains.”
“I can speak a bit of Late Goryeo. I think I could help.”
