Chapter 41

Episode 41. Greening does not ask for troublesome things.

I couldn’t understand the words of the head of the family.

If you go back to Obongsan, you won’t be able to move, so what are you asking for help from yourself?

“I don’t think I’ll be very helpful?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Along with his horse, Pacheon Demon Army Seong Mu-hae held out a silver plaque.

“What is this?”

“It is a plaque that proves the identity of a general patrol. Originally, I was going to leave it to the Twelve Demons, but I think you should take it.”

“A gun patrol?”

“Nothing. It means that if the patrol causes any trouble, you should sort it out.”

“I’m going to be at Obongsan?”

“You won’t be in Obongsan for the rest of your life, are you? If you live, you can go down the mountain like now. Just live comfortably, and if you see the patrols doing something wrong, you should clean it up then. If we don’t have to face each other, it’s okay.”

Seo Mu-hae talked as if it was nothing special, so he received a silver plaque for dating.

“So you don’t have to struggle around, right?”

“yes. Our green forest doesn’t even ask each other for cumbersome things. Going around looking for something for work is something that only officials do. Who are the thieves who are busy taking care of themselves looking for?”

“If it’s total patrol, is it higher than Chaeju?”

“It is very high. You can think of it as a replacement for me as the general manager.”

“and! That’s good.”

He kept the silver plaque of succession in his bosom.

I was blown away by the sound that I could just live comfortably without wandering around.

Luoyang.

hundred years old.

Four people gathered in the office of Lee Se-chang, the ark, ahead of the full-scale ascent. Acting Chief Lee Yeon-bok and Blue Dragon Daeju Yeonmu-do Baekho Daedae Daeju Baek Do-jin.

Lee Se-chang put a smile on his face and said good things to the two great lords.

“Yeon Daehyup Baek Daehyup From now on, I will only trust you two. I’ve heard that Yeon Dae-ju and Baek Dae-ju are the highest officials of the Temple of Waryongjang. Rumors spread in Luoyang. The masters of the Temple of Heaven in Waryongjang are as good as the disciples of Chilpaimun. Please take good care of our Baekse Sangbang.”

Yeonmu-do responded with a trembling face.

“I will do my best. There will be no dedicating items to bandits like before.”

In fact, Yeonmu Island was in a state where its pride was quite hurt due to the Wolbong issue.

‘It’s not like I’m teasing that a Wolbong is 500 moons,

while saying that it’s as good as a student of Chilpaimun.

“I’m sorry that Wolbong seems a little harsh. However, after a couple of trips up, the monthly salary will be paid normally. This time, we signed a contract to trade with Wuhan Taiping Sang. As long as this deal goes well, even three pieces of Wolbong is possible. Please do your best.”

Yeonmu-do’s expression softened when he said that it was possible to buy three coins from Wolbong.

Subsequently, acting manager Lee Yeon-bok explained the precautions for ascending to Wuhan.

“...And it would be better to go to Topha via Pyeongjeongsan instead of Namyang at first.”

Yeonmudo nodded.

“I know. Did you hear that Samak Sanchae in Hatangjin is gaining notoriety?”

Hetangjin is an area halfway between Luoyang and Namyang. The owner of Samaksanchae there is greedy and vicious, so the merchants were reluctant to pass by.

“It’s difficult to talk with Samak Sanchae, so it’s not safe unless it’s a large-scale trip.”

“I heard that the Red Pungchae on the way to the tower is also formidable.”

The obong sanchae below it was rumored to be worth one nyang, but the jeokpungchae was a bit tricky.

“The temperament of Jeokpungchaeju is just dirty, but greed and cruelty are acceptable. If we can prove that our military strength is superior, the rest will be fine.”

“You mean we have to fight first?”

“The Jeokpungchaeju sends out one or two people to test the opponent, and the toll is determined depending on how they do it at that time. Just go, or be prepared to pay the hermit 50 nyang, or even 100 nyang in the worst case.”

“How much did you give away before?”

Obong Tengeol was pushed by the people and moved in one direction. I had a lot of time anyway, so I was swept away by the mind of going to see what was going on.

Two men are standing facing each other in the clearing outside the gate.

Two men in their mid-to-late twenties were staring at each other with the momentum to strike a knife at any moment.

The Honam-looking man spoke in a low voice.

“Don’t forget that Hwang Yeom-dong is pretending to know about the disappearance of Gwangbul Temple when he doesn’t know anything about it, but all the anger comes out of his mouth.”

The man with a sharp impression responded with a sneer.

“joy! Are you saying that the disappearance of a monk from a temple is a conspiracy or something? Didn’t they say that if you do something insignificant, it turns into something great? If you want to gain such fame, subdue the living.”

“You dare... do you think I said that to get a reputation? We don’t know, but do you know how many monks and Taurus have disappeared in the meantime?”

“Okay, let me ask you something. How many have disappeared?”

“I don’t know the exact number either. But it is clear that many people have disappeared.”

“Tsk tsk! A lot of people disappeared without even knowing how much they disappeared? Just go to subdue the nearby wilds.”

At Hwang Yeom-dong’s words, the people who were watching around him laughed and said, “Wow.”

Deungcho, a Honam-type man, gritted his teeth and shouted.

Hwangyeomdong! I cannot forgive you for insulting me. Draw your sword.”

“Deungcho If I pull out my sword, I can’t turn it back. Do you really want that?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, pull it out!”

Along with the horse, Deungcho drew a long sword.

Only then did Hwang Yeom-dong slowly pull out the sword he was wearing around his waist.

As the fight seemed to break out in earnest, the onlookers took a few steps back.

In the meantime, someone opened their mouth pretending to know.

“The high school sword is a bit popular these days, but it still won’t work for Paesando.”

“I see fifty seconds. Before that, Paesando will win.”

“Fifty seconds is too long. Can you hold out for thirty seconds?”

Lee Cheol-san, who was listening to the people talking, suddenly interrupted.

“By the way, hyung, what is the disappearance of Gwangbulsa Temple?”

“About 15 days ago, one of the temples disappeared from Gwangbulsa Temple. The fight broke out after Ko Hak-geom and Paesando had an argument in Juru over that. It is said that one person disappears every few years from Gwangbulsa Temple, but there is no way to confirm whether it just left for another area or was an accident?”

Lee Cheol-san nodded at the man’s words.

In fact, countless people died while wandering begging, so it was no big deal that one of them disappeared.

Another man next to him said as if explaining.

“You can think of Go Hak-geom’s older brother as a monk at Gwangbulsa Temple, so he is accepting it a little sensitively.”

Then, this time, Han Chae-yeon asked.

“That’s the case with the high school swordsman. But why is Paesando so anxious about not being able to fight? Whether it’s leaving or disappearing, you can just do it.”

“I must have been a little envious of his loss because the name of Go Hak Sword went up and down in people’s mouths. Isn’t there a saying that thieves numb their feet? If you keep trying to become famous, you’ll be sure to see that they tell you to subdue wild plants.”

Someone said a word.

“They were also a bit of a rivalry.”

“What is competition? Strictly speaking, the high school sword is the latter index.”

“What I mean is that the seniors are nervous because the juniors are coming up, man.”

“Oh, it could be.”

Amidst the gossips of the people, the fight between Go Hak Sword and Paesando was reaching its climax.

Yeonjeokha, who was watching the fight, asked the man pretending to be an egg.

“Mister, do you even kill each other over things like that?”

“Both of them are swordsmen of the political faction, so they won’t go that far. If you’re not lucky, you could get seriously injured and die.”

“No...”

Yeonjeokha tilted his head.

No matter how you look at it, Paesando’s sword contained murder. I can feel the will to kill the opponent somehow, but it doesn’t go that far?
