Chapter 110

Episode 110. Meet Jojo (1)

“Oh man.”

“Your grandfather.”

Cao Cao, head of the northern part of Luoyang, lowered his head with a slightly tense expression when his grandfather Cao Deng called.

The reason why he is so nervous is that he killed Geon-seok’s uncle with a club not too long ago because he was proud of himself despite violating the rules for entering the north gate. Because of that, it was because I wanted my grandfather to make a problem.

Because of that incident, Jo-deung and Geon-seok are now in a very uncomfortable relationship, and Geon-seok is frantic to kill Jo-jo somehow.

“Today, a doctor named Hwabu was bestowed with a ceremonial plaque by His Majesty the Emperor for his contribution to curing the disease of Taewi Hwangwan.”

“yes? Did the member of Congress receive the Shea Sapae?”

Jojo tilted his head.

Everyone in the government knew how great the sheer sapae was.

“Since Huang Wan begged His Majesty very much, I couldn’t stop it even though it was beyond common sense.”

Glance.

Jojo took a closer look at his grandfather’s face as he spoke.

There was no sign of displeasure at all.

Not taking offense at the fact that something out of common sense had happened meant that he was looking at it from a different angle.

“okay.”

“I hear that Hwabu is a person from Chohyeon who shares the same hometown as you. Have you ever heard of the name before?”

“I heard it for the first time.”

“If you can fix half of Taewi, shouldn’t you already have a good reputation in a small prefecture like Chohyeon?”

“It should be... I never heard of it until I left my hometown. When I was there, I gave the best to a lawmaker named Song Lim.”

“Yeah, since I was young, I guess I could have stood out after you left. Oh, and his older brother received the recommendation of the defeat and is now receiving education at Taehak. Have you ever heard of the name Hwabok?”

“Hwabok... Ah, I remember. He is the eldest son of a painter who is in decline, and he is much younger than me.

“I have seen it. Good for you then. They are also from the same hometown, so make friends before going to Dongu.”

The reason why Jojo was suddenly assigned to the prefecture of Dongu-hyeon was to get him to escape because Geon-seok was looking for his neck. That’s why Jojo was scheduled to take office in Dongu-hyeon three months later.

“yes! You want to make friends? From my point of view, they seem to be on the Taewi side... Is there a need for that?”

“Tsk, have you ever heard that the sea rejected the river?”

When Jo Deung clicked his tongue, Jo Jo put on an embarrassed expression.

“My grandson was short-tempered. sorry. grandfather.”

“Do you know what the world is like now?”

“.....”

Cao Cao did not bother to answer Cao Teng’s question.

The reason he asked this was mostly to make the next statement.

“Bandits are popping up all over the place, and appeals that are hard to count are coming up every day. Of course, the imperial palace is quiet, but the world is not like that.”

Whoops.

Jo Deung stopped talking and took a sip of tea.

Jojo sighed inwardly at the sight of such an old man.

Since one of the Ten Permanent Siblings blocking the Emperor’s eyes and ears was his grandfather, he felt frustrated because he could neither do this nor that.

After taking a sip of the tea, Jo Deung opened his mouth again.

“When the world is in chaos, what you need most is talented people. Even though Taewi is at odds with me, his eye for people is excellent.”

“But you are already favored by Tae-wi, so would you like to come to your grandfather?”

“Tsk tsk, there is no one in the world who is not shaken by wealth. If you want to meet a talented person, give them what you need, whether it’s alcohol, money, or a woman, and make them into four people. At first, you may be humble and decline, but if you continue to meet and use your wealth like water, you will definitely become four people later.”

“All right. grandfather.”

Cao Cao bowed his head and came out of his grandfather’s quarters.

I didn’t like what my grandfather was doing at the imperial palace, but I thought he was right when he said to gather talented people, and I’ve been doing it steadily until now.

Hwa-bok, who was taking a class at Taehak, felt better when Jojo, a northern part of Nakyang, came to him, saying that he was from the same hometown, and gave him encouragement.

The painter suddenly had the idea that his brother shouldn’t get too attached to Jojo.

‘This could be dangerous... but it shouldn’t develop beyond a reasonable friendship.’

I suddenly had a problem.

What he wants from his older brother is to hide under the umbrella of Jojo and avoid the rain, not to shed blood for Jojo.

“My older brother Jojo has good spirits, but what I always have to prioritize in my heart is the comfort of my older brother and my mother.”

“Tsk, in your eyes, I look like a younger brother, not an older brother. Would I put my spirit with my brother Jo ahead of my family’s comfort? Don’t worry too much.”

The painter smiled with a slightly embarrassed expression when his brother looked serious.

‘It doesn’t seem like he listened to my words.’

* * *

“Didn’t Congressman Pyeon have business in the imperial city?”

Hwabu said goodbye to Hwangwan and Hwabok, and was on his way back to Paeguk after escaping from the imperial capital.

However, polarization suddenly caught up with the departing party and tried to fix it.

Of course, I didn’t look good when I asked.

“I’ve already seen everything.”

“I’m going back to defeat, isn’t the direction different from that of Congressman Pyeon?”

“I’m also thinking of looking around the defeated country at this time.”

“If you are following Seon out of concern, then you don’t have to worry. As you have seen, Seon-i gets along well with the other disciples, doesn’t he?”

“Keuhum I really want to see Paeguk. They say that Soho, especially in the south of the defeated country, is such a magnificent view...”

Polarization suddenly mentioned Soho, and hesitatingly hesitated these and other words.

The painter looked at the polarization and nodded with a smile.

‘Even though the times are different, the hearts of parents who have daughters are all the same.’

“All right. Then I will allow you to accompany me until defeat. Instead, you should go back after seeing Soho.”

“Heh heh... of course. I’m sure Congressman Hwa will know when he’s my age...”

Strangely, Hwabu sent Pyeonseon a look in his eyes, asking for help.

Pyeon-seon looked at him and put on a disapproving expression, but soon rode his horse and stuck next to his father, accepting the conversation instead.

In the gap, the fireman tugged at the reins and fell backwards.

‘It’s annoying while I’m going... No, I won’t be bored.’

* * *

“I can finally avenge the cultists!”

Sa-cheol, the executioner, put the blue knife into the scabbard and blinked his eyes when Branch Manager Ho informed him of the fireman’s party.

Branch manager Ho and the executors moved with their necks naturally moved by the spirit of the executioner.

“But unexpected people joined us. Keep that in mind.”

“Who joined?”

“Seong Soo-sin’s party has joined.”

“Sacred reception! Even so, it’s a lawmaker or a brawler.”

“Sacred Susinui is nothing more than a doctor or a bandit, but those who escort him may be masters.”

“Anyway, they’re the ones who escort the lawmaker.”

“But keep that in mind, just in case.”

“okay. Which way did they take the road?”

“I took it towards Songshan.”

“okay! It’s perfect for an ambush.”

“The follower guards keep sending us news, so you should move accordingly.”

“I get it. come and go.”

When Sa-cheol disappeared with the 10 enforcers and the liaison officer, Branch Manager Ho sighed in relief and shook his head.

“Eh~. I’m finally able to breathe. No matter how much I’m an executioner, I can’t help but cringe.”
