Chapter 318

Episode 318. A flower is stuck in

cow dung.

I was not surprised because I had given up my expectations from the moment I brought up the topic of bamboo.

However, after that, he would not move for the Merchant.

Because I don’t want to get entangled in rotten roots.

She finally left without a word.

A sigh flowed from the mouth of the Cheonjimaeng leader, the martial arts merchant, who was looking at her with lonely eyes.

“ha!”

He himself had such a spirit when he was young.

But now it’s different.

There were so many things I had to protect and things I wanted to achieve.

The Mugeuk Merchant muttered like an excuse.

“Mount Tai can be so high because it doesn’t shy away from even a handful of soil, and it can be so deep because it doesn’t block even a small stream that flows through it.”

These are the words from Samacheon’s ‘Lessons of Isa’.

It’s not that he doesn’t know the young man’s spirit, but it was difficult to agree on the musketeer.

Cheonjimaeng absolutely needs the resourcefulness and experience of the musketeers.

The same goes for the faction alliance in the future.

After thinking for a while, he took out the contents from the seal and inspected them.

I knew most of it, but there were some things I didn’t know.

“Awesome.”

He found out using the power of Chumilgak, which he had been running since the days of the Justice League.

However, it is surprising that he managed to dig up the musketeer this far without such help.

Of course, even if it did, it wouldn’t have a big impact on the general trend.

The Mugeuk Merchant put the contents back into the seal and stood up.

The more you put off these things, the deeper the misunderstanding, so it’s better to sort things out quickly.

Coming out of the leader’s office, he moved to Cheonchugak.

To meet the Sword King Namgung Byeok.

***

“Haha why did you all come to see me?”

Namgung Byeok smiled and looked at the merchant.

He has maintained a close relationship with Jang Moon-in of the Volcano faction since the days of the Justice League.

After the Namgung family suffered damage that was close to extinction, they became a little estranged.

“I was looking for advice from a senior.”

“It may not be of much help, but tell me. If I can help, I will help.”

“Actually, the young lady came to me and informed me of the Musketeer’s misconduct. Have you heard anything about him from the young lady?”

“ah!”

A short sigh escaped from Namgung Byeok’s mouth.

He tried to dissuade him, but it seems that he finally told the leader about the musketeers.

‘Oh, Yuna made a mistake this time.’

I don’t know why my daughter, who knows people better than anyone else, did so despite the opposition.

‘I must have believed that the Merchant was a guru and a person who could not tolerate injustice.’

However, he is a long-time scholar of the volcano faction and the leader of the Heavenly League.

At that point, it’s natural that you can’t live according to your personal beliefs.

Rather than one’s will, the interests of the Hwasan faction and the Cheonjimaeng should be put first. The Hwasan faction and the Cheonjimaeng people would also want the Merchant to do the same.

It’s unfortunate, but the moment people step into politics, humans have no choice but to get away from straightness.

This is because the interests of the group are justice and the cause.

the same goes for himself

As an extreme example, if I had to cut Mugeuk Merchants for the Namgung family, I would cut them.

Namgung Byeok nodded.

“I would like to hear your opinion on this matter.”

“I told you to bury it. It’s not because the musketeer’s misconduct is weak. As soon as it is known that Namgung family pointed it out, some will consider it as revenge, right? There is no reason to inflict such an insult on oneself! What is the name of the Jegal family?”

“You mean just leave it alone? A bad guy in the world?”

“The one who has a lot to protect should be careful. The musketeer only had one body left. Maybe that’s why he’s acting more extreme. Even so, he is trying hard to make a name for himself. Watch them risk their lives to join the negotiating team. If you bite Namgung family like that, even if you win, a stigma will follow you. He’s not the kind of person to admit his mistakes and leave quietly.”

“Hey, what a piece of shit he is.”

There was no other way to express it, as it smeared filth on the person who touched it.

“Huh, yes. You’re right. He really is like a byun. But what kind of world would it be if you knew and still respected such a person?”

“A world like dog poop?”

“that’s right. Do you have the ability to forgive everything if necessary?”

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Namgung-yeon and said.

“I guess to some extent. Just like Cheonjimaeng, Jeongpa and Greenrim joined forces. It looks like a cutting blade soon.”

“That’s right. It was a world that was helpful to me and even joined hands with the devil when necessary. why did i forget that? Does that mean we shouldn’t ignore age?”

Namgungyeon’s self-deprecating words made Yeonjeokha jump up.

“no! sister! It’s the world that’s wrong, not your sister. That’s not age. Because I was rolling in the shit field, I got shit all over my body.”

“Do you really think so?”

“yes. I like an upright sister. Doesn’t it make me feel good when I’m next to you?”

“You were originally nice.”

“I don’t trust anyone. Everyone calls me ‘Little Devil’?”

“what? Who says that?”

“Hehe, you can hear it right away if you turn your back and eat in the corner of the spot.”

It was true.

He used to go out to eat alone when he had a heartache and time passed.

On such a day, people’s eyes are burdensome, so I sit with my back turned to eat in the corner.

The sound I hear every time is ‘little devil’.

Of course, the masters of Nokrimdo and Sapa were like that.

To them, Pacheon Demon Army was the ‘great devil’ and he was the ‘small devil’.

“why not?”

Namgung-yeon couldn’t understand why people were talking badly about Yeon Jeok-ha.

The things he did when he came out to Gangho were not like Noklimdo.

No, rather, it was closer to the chilpamun and the four generations of knights.

I have never done anything wrong to the common people or to the swordsmen of the political faction.

At best, it’s all about not getting along with the musketeers.

Why do you call him a little devil?

“You destroyed your own family, and not too long ago, you forcibly dragged Chae-ju (Hyuk Moo-chun, Shisan-mado) to death. It is said that the fact that Youngja-kun lost only one arm was because he was lucky. If you get out of my eyes, disgrace is the default, and you will die or become an idiot or something.”

“...”

Namgung-yeon couldn’t say no.

Certainly, I forcibly dragged the young man who said he didn’t want to be in a relationship and the shisan mage. One of them was eaten by the immortal, and the other became a one-armed man.

Namgungyeon’s expression darkened, and Yeonjeokha laughed out loud.

“ha ha ha! are you okay. What is it like to hear the sound of a little devil in a dog shit-like world? Only my sister can look good on me. I don’t care what other people say.”

“In my eyes, you are a great swordsman and the nicest thief in the world.”

“lol.”

He laughed softly, feeling better.

The steps of the two people who were walking affectionately stopped.

A procession of negotiators could be seen in the distance.

Jegal Seung-woon, the musketeer and Shinki-su, who was on his way with about a hundred escorts of the Cheonji-maeng, turned his head slightly.

Jegal Seung-woon, who was looking at the flower tree, said gently while stroking the beard growing under his chin.

“There is a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.”

Gongson Ilang, Gong Son Gi, and Byeokgyeok Do Paeng Man Ho, who were walking with him, looked around, not knowing what they were talking about.

Then, for a moment, he smiled as if he had made a promise.

The streets were full of cow dung, some of which were studded with flower branches.

But the musketeer’s words were a metaphor.

Among the people, it was seen that Empress Dowager Ten, the flower of the political faction, was with the Green Forest Patrol.

The three of them thought there was a distance between them, and since it was a metaphor, there was no way they could understand it.
