RED STAR IN THE SKY GORYEO (The Scent Of Life 2)
CHAPTER 20 POISONOUS VALLEY
In the darkness of the night, several male figures were sneaking under the cliff. Among them were the Wang brothers. They tried to climb the cliff with all their might. A violent wind blew through as soon as they reached the top of the cliff. Slapped in front of them a field of Monk's Hood flowers in purplish blue filled the valley. They immediately put on a face-covering cloth to avoid the poison spread from the field. In the darkness of the night they descended from the top of the cliff into a rocky valley. They combed the place carefully and vigilantly.

A man in a glove, along with several women, was producing drugs in a cave that only illuminated a few torches. Some guards with shaved heads watched them. It appeared that the man was seriously extracting herbs, and the others were printing them into pill seeds and liquid in ceramic bottles. All use special face coverings of cotton cloth.
In the corner of the cave there was a poor man tied his legs and hands. He looks scared. The medicine man carried a small bottle and approached the frightened man. The poison was forcibly drunk on the poor man. There was no immediate reaction, but the man who was the subject of the experiment would die slowly. The poor man was dragged out of the cave and then thrown again in prison.
An old man in silk clothes with several bodyguards entered the cave. Everyone saluted the old man who turned out to be Minister Park. The old man checked around with a satisfied smile.
"Prepare some bottles to be spread out in some places" Minister Park ordered.
Some guards took some bottles and put them in wooden boxes to take them out of the valley.
Minister Park exited the medicine room to the other cave room. He saw a man sitting in a cave that functioned as a prison. Soon Joon, Myungwool's brother is sitting against the wall. His face and body were covered in bruises.
"How are you Soon Joon-ssi? Still stubborn not to cooperate?" ask Minister Park
"I'd rather die than give you the antidote recipe" Soon Joon replied.
Minister Park smiled with a calm face.
"Aren't you afraid your sister's dead?" Minister Park starts to put pressure on Soon Joon.
"Your bluff won't change my mind" said Soon Joon
The minister clenched his jaw a sign of restraining anger, then left Soon Joon.

The Wang brothers walked quietly in the dark. The smell of the carcass spread Then suddenly ...
Bruugh!
Wang So fell into the hole. Wang Wook and Wang Jung stopped and returned to the direction where Wang So fell
"Whooaaa!" wang So shouted stifled as he looked at the one at the bottom of the hole.
"Hyuung .. Are you okay?" wang Wook asked from above
"Yes, I'm fine. Throw the rope," asked Wang So from below.
Wang So tried to stand up. Suddenly, a hand held his leg. The figure of the corpse nearby opened its eyes. Wang So was shocked beyond measure but was held back, his face was deathly pale instantly.
"Kill me .. I beg .. I'm in pain" said the woman who turned out to be alive.
Wang So crouched down and examined the pulse on the woman's wrist.
"Are you able to hold on, then hold on" said Wang So, trying to tie the woman using a rope to help her get out of the hole.
"Jung-ah pull it up," Wang So orders
When the woman was lifted up and got to the top, Wang Jung and Wang Wook were shocked to death. They thought her brother was riding. As soon as he got above the rope was removed and thrown back at Wang So in the hole. Wang Wook checked on the poor woman
"Take the woman down the cliff, just use the rope to lower her. I hope he can still be saved. Immediately ask for help from General Park," Wang So orders some of the soldiers he carries.
They continued the valley sweep. There was a flame from a distance, which turned out to be a cave with burning torches. The cave is guarded by bald-headed people. Wang So gave a code to approach and make an ambush. They sank, and then the execution took place. Some guards were taken out. They entered the cave cautiously.
A group of guards who walked out caught them so the fight happened. They went into the cave and found a branching road. They separate. Wang So turned to the right, in front of him some bald-headed guards had already blocked. The leader of the horde that had a large body started to attack. The inevitable fight.
Wang Wook who turned left found the cave burrows that were used as prisons for people who were used as experiments. They were immediately greeted by the space guards. Fights are also inevitable. Wang Wook and some of his followers won the fight, and freed the people who were inside. One of the prisons contained a man
"Soon Joon-ssi?" ask Wang Wook
"Yes" he answered
"Come out, with them, your sister Myungwool is waiting for you at Physician Hong's house" Wang Wook said
"Myungwool? Aah, thank you, sir," said Soon Joon with a cheerful face.
He tried to stand up but his left leg was broken. Wang Wook along with several soldiers helped the prisoners out of the valley. Wang So managed to subdue the head of the valley guard. The healer and the drug makers were detained, and tied up tightly, in a drag by the soldiers who came with General Park. The Wang brothers managed to tear apart the poisonous valley. Minister Park gets on board as soon as he hears about the collapse of their project, so do Wang Yo and Queen Shin.
