Episode 811. Hand over your wife to Bukjin,
a saint from Sichuan Province.
Golden Guard Sichuan branch.
Palmungak.
late night.
Baekho, Moksojin, with a sorrowful face, reported the affairs of Mt. Cheongseong to Samurai Bukjin.
“...He killed an innocent man, so he beheaded Jo Myung-hwa and Yeosu-dam to pay for it with his life.”
A quiet voice flowed from the mouth of Jang Sa-gyeong, who had been listening in silence.
“Mmm!”
Mok So-jin paused for a moment and raised his head.
Bukjin warriors caught my eye, with their hair wrapped in a white cloth like Moknae.
His face was covered with a cloth, so he couldn’t tell if he was surprised or angry.
“And I asked Samurai Bukjin to tell me that he would come soon.”
“You are indeed a mad man. Since you killed the four soldiers and the golden guards, the gold army is going to move, but you don’t think of running away, but instead intimidate the northern warriors?”
“Maybe they believe in Namjin. Word is circulating in Namjin that they are running around to save the lives of enemy soldiers.”
“You have to do that to survive. If Yeon Jeok-ha becomes a high treason, Namjin, who has been working with him, will cry out. It would be okay to weed out the impure forces at this time.”
“Oh, you mean?”
“Unlike the north march, the south march is not far from the famous religion, is it? It was all because of the people who had worked with Yeonjeokha before. If we beat them off, both advances north and south will be able to work with one heart and one mind.”
Mok So-jin, who nodded, asked softly.
“By the way, what do you plan on doing? He’s famous for keeping his word...”
“Of course we should prepare for that. I plan on hiding for a month or two until Geumgun intervenes. I can’t do outside activities until I’m fully recovered anyway, so I’ll have to treat it at this point.”
“ah! Have you decided where to stay?”
“I plan to prepare from now on.”
“If you need help from the supervisor, please let me know anytime.”
“thanks. I plan to leave Palmungak tomorrow morning with Sangso. Tell the people in the north to be patient and endure until the gold army moves.”
“yes.”
Mok So-jin replied in a dull voice. *** The battle
between Yeonjeokha
and Sawi that took place in Mt. Cheongseong was known all over the world beyond Sichuan.
Of course, no one believed the rumors.
Most of them regarded it as a clash between military officers belonging to the son-in-law and younger enemies.
All sorts of speculations floated around.
“Yeon Jeok-ha collided with the provincial conductor while protecting weightlifting.”
“The soldiers of the four ranks were seriously injured.”
“If Geum-gun moves, it will be over no matter how strong the back of the younger brother is.”
“Nokrim is trying to sever his relationship with Yeonjeokha.”
“Geumgoon’s first target is Namgung Se.”
“In order to keep a distance from the Namgung family, Namjikryeseong’s literary faction is breaking away from the Nam League.”
The truth has not been revealed, but one thing is certain.
People believed that Green Forest and the Southern Meng would distance themselves from Yeon Jeok Ha.
This is because, no matter how good the younger brother is, there is no place to embrace him who has become a high treason.
Kang Ho is not the only one who is noisy.
Geum Ui-wi was also suffering from measles due to the problem of Yeonjeok-ha.
In particular, the internal conflict of Ha Nam’s Geumuiwi, which had been working together with Yeon Jeok-ha for a long time, was at its peak.
Ha Nam.
release. Opening branch of the Golden Council.
With a bundle of scrolls in both hands, Sogi crossed the yard.
The scroll was the ‘Report on the Trends of Government Officials’ written in Namjin.
As he was just turning the corner, he lightly bumped into the person on his way.
One scroll fell from the shock.
“Oops! sorry.”
Sogi of the Golden Guard first apologized and knelt down to pick up the scroll.
But the opponent was faster than that.
Bukjin’s gun pangolin picked up the scroll that had fallen to my feet.
If it was normal times, I would have just handed it over and went on my way.
However, the pangolin, who checked the opponent’s face, did not.
“A firearm man. The brother-in-law is not a traitor. He is not interested in that at all.”
“Whether you are interested or not, it is already a traitor for causing casualties to your son-in-law’s soldiers. You’ve been on the golden throne for years, so you should know that much now?”
“...”
Jin Woo-saeng looked at the pangolin with a devastated face.
right.
There was no excuse for that.
For whatever reason, he was not allowed to fight his son-in-law’s army.
The pangolin strode closer to Jin Woo-saeng and handed over the scroll he was holding in his hand.
“If you hand over your wife, you might become a public servant. No, I will make you a public servant in our Bukjin. If you become a public servant, you will be able to have three wives and four concubines.”
Jin Woo-saeng, who had barely recovered his mind, said in a calm tone.
“If you have nothing more to say, I will go. Pohwamyeong Gun-nim is waiting for you.”
“Think carefully. Time is not on your side, so you will have to make a decision quickly.”
“...”
Woosaeng Jin bowed to him and passed by at a quick pace.
Woo-saeng Jin, who was walking at a brisk pace, stopped in front of the pavilion with a signboard reading ‘Dae Gong Ji-jeong (大公至正)’.
Called Daegonggak for short, this is the office of Namjin.
Jin Woo-saeng sighed deeply as he saw the four letters of ‘Designation of Grand Duke’.
These days, I want to get rid of the golden chair and live in Simsan Yugok.
‘no. At a time like this, I should keep my seat.’
If you want to escape at night with your wife, you must first get inside information from the Geumuiwiwi.
Shaking his head vigorously to shake off his thoughts, he took off his shoes on the stone and entered the hall.

Northern Directly.
Hwangseong.
Bohwajeon (保和殿)
Missijeong (2:00 p.m.).
The appearance of a commander with a golden rank came to the emperor who was losing his appeal at the Treasure Hall.
“What is it?”
“I have brought a letter of appeal from Jang Sa-gyeong, a warrior from the north, who was dispatched to Sichuan Province.”
“Is Jang Sa-gyeong still working as a northern warrior?”
The emperor tilted his head.
I thought I was going to rest because I was seriously injured, but you posted an appeal again?
“After this appeal, I have informed you that I will concentrate on treatment.”
“You are loyal.”
The emperor, who had been muttering with an ambiguous face, stared blankly at the shape.
Only then did the shape walk on its knees and put a scroll on the table.
The emperor, who glanced at the shape, spoke as if passing by.
“Let’s see if anything feels good.”
“Writings written by loyal subjects purify the mind and body.”
The emperor held up the scroll and showed it.
His expression seemed to ask, ‘Is this for this?’
The shape nodded slightly, then backed off on its knees.
The emperor opened the scroll and read the lengthy appeal.
The emperor, who had been silent for a long time, asked.
“Is this true?”
“Hwang Gong Ha, but everything is true.”
“To think that 3,200 soldiers were killed or injured... is a serious matter indeed.”
“It is. Something really big has happened that I can’t handle.”
Contrary to his words, the expression of the emperor and the shape were calm.
No, it was an effort to be calm.
“Chang Sa-gyeong is a soldier of Weiso (衛所), and it is difficult, so they say to send gold troops. What do you think?”
“I am sorry to tell you, but Namjin said that it was difficult even with the gold army.”
“If it looked like that in Namjin’s eyes, that would be it. Could you do it under the circumstances?”
“God risked his life to make it happen.”
The emperor, looking at the shape, took an envelope from a drawer and placed it on the table.
Approaching him with kneeling steps, he lifted the envelope with both hands, put it in his arms, and stepped back.
