Chapter 223

Episode 223. I am not a person who likes to fight.

Lee Si-hwa warmed up at the bonfire on one side and stared at Yeon Jeok-ha at work.

The pyre he made was all thick logs.

At first glance, it was better than what my father had brought and sold.

The time it took for the double loader to tie the two loads of trees was no more than an hour (15 minutes).

If I hadn’t lit a bonfire along the way, it would have ended much earlier.

When he tied a bundle of wood and came to the campfire, Lee Si-hwa said.

“Wow! really good Brother, why don’t you rather be a woodcutter?”

“You say you don’t know yet, but I can make money just by standing with my hands behind my back.”

“Sheesh! Nonsense. What kind of job is there in the world?”

“Because it’s real. When people see me, they know me and just give me money.”

Of course, it happened when I was in Obong Sanchae.

Lee Shi-hwa had no choice but to believe her cousin when she spoke so seriously.

“My mom and dad can’t make money even if they work late into the night. How can I earn well like my older brother?”

“Are you good at fighting?”

“no.”

“Then it will be a bit difficult.”

“Can’t my brother teach me?”

“hey! Do you think this can be learned in a day or two? It took me ten years.”

Lee Si-hwa did not cling to the fact that it took ten years.

I gave up because my cousin brother couldn’t stay in Seokjangchon for ten years.

“Let’s go down.”

The couple carried a bundle of wood on each shoulder and descended the mountain with Lee Si-hwa at the fore.

Yeonjeokha lightly tossed the load of wood into the yard.

When there was a ‘thump’, Lee Woo-seok, who was in the room, opened the door and poked his head out.

“What is that?”

Lee Si-hwa quickly took the place of Yeon Jeok-ha.

“My older brother did it in the mountains because he used the firewood yesterday.”

“Tsk! Because it’s okay. all that stuff By the way, the enemy, please come in for a while.”

“yes.”

I brushed off my hands and went into the room.

Lee Woo-seok, who was sitting in the room, made an excuse as he made eye contact with Yeon Jeok-ha.

“During the winter, there is no work, so the men of Seokjang Village are mostly confined to their homes. When I go out, I have nothing else to do besides drinking and gambling.”

“Ah yes.”

“My aunt and Yuhwa went to another house to help prepare for the 70th birthday party. Are you really staying in Hyeongyang County?”

“yes.”

“sorry. He’s an only-in-law, and he’s poor to have one, so he can’t be treated well.”

“are you okay. You don’t have to worry about being treated well elsewhere.”

Lee Woo-seok just nodded his head because he knew that Yeon Jeok-ha was wrong.

At that time, Shihwa Lee came into the room and squatted in the corner.

In the summer, he would wait outside, but since it was winter, he just came in.

Lee Woo-seok, accustomed to living in a single room, didn’t care much.

“I just met the village chief.”

Lee Si-hwa pretended not to hear and listened without breathing.

It is only natural that the family has been turned upside down due to her sister’s marriage.

“I said I couldn’t get married, but he didn’t accept it.”

“You don’t accept it?”

“Hyungyang, my relative, even said that he had decided to come, and he said he would just go ahead with it. Rather, I was told to persuade you.”

“So will you convince me?”

“Do I look like someone who will push through the marriage my daughter rejected?”

“...”

“If things go wrong later, never think about fighting.”

“I’m not a person who likes to fight.”

Then, Lee Si-hwa, who had been listening silently in the corner, said a word as if her mouth was itchy.

“I heard that brother learned only to fight for ten years.”

“It means you trained in martial arts.”

“A pure liar. He asked if I was good at fighting because he asked me to teach him how to make money.”

“So, even if the village chief takes the oil painting, you can just look at it?”

“I am asking because I am really curious. Are you confident enough to stop the village chief from sending people?”

“hey! Did you see me woodpecker? Do you think those people are stronger than trees?”

“Are trees and people the same?”

“You say it because you don’t know, but people are easier.”

When dealing with a tree, one’s realm is projected, but a person can match his level. So, from the point of view of Yeon Jeok-ha, trees were more difficult than people.

“omg! Is it easier to chop people up?”

“Who said he toppled? That’s what it says.”

A heavy sigh escaped Lee Woo-seok’s mouth as he listened to the conversation between the two.

It seems that my nephew has lived a long life as a ronin.

‘Don’t think about fighting, I’ll pay off some of your debts. Night escape is the best....’

From the village chief’s wedding ceremony to Yu Hwa’s ceremonies, it feels like you’re gradually sinking into a quagmire.

Gold’s Branch.

meeting room.

Two middle-aged men in uniforms sat across from each other.

They were Dong Yoo-soo, a warrior from Gae-bong, and Jiil-gang, a warrior from Namgyeong.

The two knew each other because they had worked in the same branch during the time of the guns (commanding small flags).

Even so, the atmosphere in the conference room was stiff.

“Is it true that the Justice League’s Extermination and Cheonchudae suffered near-destruction damage?”

At Jiilgang’s question, Dongyusoo nodded.

“There are only five survivors in the Myolsadae, but if you exclude the wounded, there are only thirty-five left. The sum of the two is eighty-seven. Five hundred and forty-five if all four units are gathered. They will not be able to compete with the famous religion.”

“Huh! how come this happened The commander told me to leak the information on the Justice League so that the famous church would not be defeated. I never thought the power of the Justice League would be so weak.”

“I was also surprised that the power of the famous religion was stronger than expected. From the beginning, the Justice League was not an opponent of famous religions. Who knew that the power of the famous cult would be so strong.”

“I was worried that it would be a one-sided fight, so I leaked information on the Justice League side, but it ended up giving the tiger wings. I don’t know if the Justice League has any strength left to strike back. How does the same person see it?”

Dong Yoo-soo shook his head.

“Looks impossible. The Justice League is unable to stop even the twelve horsemen of the famous religion. Even though it was raided, it wasn’t that the number of famous schools was much higher. In a battle with almost equal numbers, the Justice League suffered damage close to annihilation. Not to mention being outnumbered.”

“You mean we have to just watch as the Justice League collapses and Murim falls into the hands of the famous religion? If that happens, our southward march will end up in the same situation as our northward march.”

Jiilgang looked at Dongyusoo with a puzzled face.

It is the commander who made the decision, but the responsibility for the failure is originally the people under him.

With this incident – the failed assassination of the famous religious leader – the Northward movement could have regained its strength.

In fact, I heard that they were going to find the commander in the north.

“I think if Sapa sides with the Justice League, their powers will be equal again...”

Dong Yoo-soo trailed off.

“By the way, are there any problems?”

“Because Pacheon Demon-kun, who can be said to be the head of Sapa, is just ignoring this incident.”

When the name of Pacheon Demon Army came out, Jiilgang shut his mouth.

Pacheonmagun was famous for treating government officials like a dog.

Even Madura of Green Forest tried to maintain a proper relationship with the government department, but he was different.

“Huh! It’s hard to meet him, but even if you meet him face to face, it’s said that it’s impossible to appease him. It seems that Namjin’s luck has run out.”

Then Dong Yoo-soo said a word with a strange face.

“According to the information I heard recently, it is said that Pacheon Demon-kun entrusted the ‘Green Forest Sword’ to a certain person.”

“Huh! Really? Who is that person?”

“Greenery total patrol enemy.”
