Chapter 13

13 times. As the first mountaineering

fight got longer, Tak Go-myeong glanced at Chae-ju of Poongyeoncho.

In terms of physical condition, Cheon Ki-deok is far ahead, but he can’t help but be small and dwarfed. However, if Yeonjeokha is winning, that is not the case either. No matter how you look at it, it seemed like they were just holding on with evil.

Soon after, the two got tangled up and rolled around on the floor.

Poong Yeon-cho, who had been watching the pathetic little girl closely, opened her mouth.

“Go Myung-ah.”

“yes.”

“After looking at the atmosphere...”

The moment I was told to declare one side the winner, the two stopped with a ‘pop’ sound.

After a while, Yeonjeokha raised Booth to his feet.

People’s eyes turned to Cheon Ki-duk.

Unfortunately, he hit his head on a protruding stone and passed out.

After grasping the situation, Go Myung Tak asked Lee Cheol-san and Han Chae-yeon.

“The enemy won this fight. Are you going to challenge him too?”

Then Lee Cheol-san and Han Chae-yeon shook their heads vigorously.

Rather than end up like that, he thought it would be better to just treat him as a superior.

Finally, Takgomyeong said as if declaring.

“Chun Ki-deok was defeated and the other younger brothers surrendered, so Yeon Jeok-ha is the seventh. The new members of the family should regard him as a superior and follow him.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

After the ranking was finished, Chaeju Poongyeoncho came out.

“Since Chaeyeon is the youngest now, prepare lunch for Jeokha. Laundry... Since the number of people has increased, I can leave it to Gideok. more! Get some rest.”

Only then did the Sanchae family scatter one by one.

Lee Cheol-san picked up his friend Cheon Ki-deok and carried him to the room.

I trudged to a place where there were no rivals standing there.

The excitement of the first fight subsided little by little.

Maybe it’s because it’s the end of a fierce physical fight that excludes inner strength, so I feel refreshed and confused.

‘shit! It wasn’t something I had to do like this...’

Earlier, when a man named Lee Cheol-san teased me by saying, ‘You look foolish,’ my heart suddenly boiled. His eyes turned white and his life soared. It was the first such experience.

“ha!”

As the shot was fired, a high-pitched voice came from behind.

“Yeon brother! They told me to prepare lunch... Please teach me.”

“...”

I shuddered when Han Chae-yeon, who was the same age as my older sister, called me older brother. However, since the order is set that way, I think I should just accept it.

The hesitant Yeon Jeok-ha moved toward the kitchen.

Han Chae-yeon followed him and asked.

“Where are you going?”

“kitchen.”

Yeonjeokha’s words were short.

It’s because it’s uncomfortable to speak casually because I haven’t learned the rank yet. Of course, it’s the first time I’ve ever had a conversation with a beautiful woman like Han Chae-yeon.

A smile appeared on Han Chae-yeon’s face after she got to know the man through her short life.

‘Oh, how cute.’

I never thought there would be such a green boy among the young adults with bold impressions!

He went into the kitchen where he was married and taught Han Chae-yeon what he had been doing.

“...water has to go down to the valley to float, but it’s hard, so I’ll help you. No, I will help you.”

Han Chae-yeon smiled bashfully and replied with a long ‘yes’.

“Enough then.”

I couldn’t even see the face of the girl who was dating, and I ran out of the kitchen in a hurry.

Takgomyeong called as he crossed the front yard of the sanchae.

“Hey enemy, come here.”

“yes!”

As Yeonjeokha approached, Takgomyeong handed him a shabby park sword.

“My eldest brother is yours. He said he was impressed with the way you guys fight today. Starting tomorrow, I decided to take you on a hike too.”

“I will do my best!”

Yeonjeokha bowed his back.

“That’s what I’m talking about when we fight. If you put Green Forest first, they won’t fight.”

“Is that so...”

Ma Hyeong-do distorted.

“In case of emergency, I just need to feed one or two arrows. If you reduce the number to five, it is a fight that you will win unconditionally.”

“But who shoots the bow?”

Fourth, at Heo Imdal’s question, Poongyeoncho looked at Cheon Ki-deok and Han Chae-yeon.

“Since Ki-deok and Chae-yeon know how to shoot an arrow, I plan to entrust it to them.”

“ah!”

The Sanchae family glanced at Cheon Ki-deok and Han Chae-yeon with new eyes.

“And don’t step out and stay next to the second. Enemies and new recruits will have to work with the idea of ‘learning’ tomorrow. Do you understand?”

“yes.”

The four people responded unanimously.

“If Namyang Sangbu pays the toll tax, other merchants will pay it one after another. Then we can get through the winter warmly. Everyone, stay alert and don’t make any mistakes. Do you understand?”

“yes!”

“Don’t worry.”

Poongyeoncho looked around at the family with happy eyes.

The opponent is a small but well-known Namyang Sangbang.

They cross Obong Mountain once every three months, but they have never paid a toll so far.

Random banditry was also exhausting.

Now that I have joined Green Forest and my family has increased, I plan to receive a toll tax soon.

However, I don’t want a lot of money like other green forests. The goal is to get the toll without fighting, even if it’s a small amount. If the head of Namyang bowed, the other heads would do the same.

***

the next morning.

About 30 merchants entered the entrance of Obongsan Mountain.

They are merchants from the upper reaches of the South Sea and merchants trying to cross the mountain by clinging to them.

Seven warriors of the escorts belonging to the upper division of the South Sea guarded the lead.

An exclamation flowed from Poongwoon Daeju Wang In-geol’s mouth while admiring the surrounding scenery.

“ha! Climbing up the stone road on the steep slope of a distant mountain, there is a house where the white clouds rise.”

This is a phrase from the boss’s poem, Mountain Haeng.

Im-o-gun, who was walking side by side, took the word.

“haha! Wang Sohyeop Shall we stop the cart and enjoy the scenery for a while?”

“I would love to, but if I do, other merchants will try to eat me. Hurry up and cross the mountain...”

Whiriririk. puck.

Before Wang In-geol could finish his words, a spear flew in and stuck in front of him.

With a surprised face, Lim-O-gun’s attendant retreated behind Poongwoon Daeju, King In-geol.

Wang Ingeol looked at the window with sharp eyes.

A green flag was hanging from an ordinary-looking window sill made of trimmed wood.

The surprised King’s face hardened.

This is because the green flag in Gangho is a symbol of greening.

‘what? There are no green trees in Obongsan Mountain...’

I hurriedly looked around, and bandits came out from the thick scrub forest.

Poong Yeoncho, the owner of the house, carried Bakdo on her shoulder and took a few steps forward.

“you! You don’t intend to just go without saying hello to the owner of Obongsan!”

Instead of answering, Wang In-geol took a closer look at the bandits.

Eight opponents.

He has a rough face and holds a sword and an axe, but it feels like he looks a little clumsy.

The king, who regained his composure a little, said calmly.

“I am the great king of the Pungnundae, which belongs to the South Sea. What is the name of the person who is said to be the owner of Obong Mountain?”

“I am Pungyeoncho, the owner of Obong Sanchae.”

In an instant, the corner of the king’s mouth rose slightly.

The name Pungyeoncho is familiar to my ears.

‘Did I say he was the leader of a small gang of bandits in Obong Mountain?’

Just then, an arrow flew out of the forest.

shhhh. puck.

The arrow narrowly passed through Wangin-geol’s face and pierced the giant tree behind him.

‘omg! What else is this? Do you want to see blood?’
