Chapter 140

Episode 140. Being naive is also a disease

.

“I guess the family head of the Unga Troupe was aiming for it.”

“Yes, and now I have something to tell you.”

When the painter spoke with a straight face, Hwabok also faced the painter and said.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

“yes.”

The two sat down at the corner of a tree in one corner. Others looked at the two and did not come around. The first to speak was the painter.

“Brother, it’s presumptuous, but I think I have to say something to you today.”

“Say yes.”

“I don’t know about your honesty and uprightness, but these days, I feel like my older brother is united by stubbornness and stubbornness rather than uprightness. Above all, once you make up your mind, it seems to be a big problem to insist and see without looking at the circumstances.”

“You speak a little harshly.”

“no. So far so good, but now it has to change. Otherwise, our whole family could die.”

“.....”

“I don’t know what you think, but I don’t hate your uprightness either. But where is the world going to be stubborn? In particular, my older brother tried to reprimand even the actions of those who were better than him in one field, such as Hyungnim and Ok Ho-beop. They are people who give you enough faith. Even if they couldn’t report because they were in a hurry, I thought it was all for a reason, so I had to figure it out first.”

“Keuhmm ah, okay, stop it.”

“Even if you don’t want to hear it, listen more.”

“What else do you have to say?”

“yes.”

“Yeah, listen to me. Please tell me.”

“As I came, I saw that other prefectures did not send all of their support to the extent that it was difficult to maintain public order like my older brother, but rather sent them in moderation.”

“How can they spare their troops when a group of traitors are trying to deceive the world?”

“Your brother is absolutely right. But what do you think about the fact that the people of the prefecture are trembling with anxiety because of the collapse of public order? Even if you do something right, there is a limit, but it is the same as if older brother discarded another right on top of right.”

“I can’t accept what you are saying now.”

“Do you think the prefectures of other prefectures did not act like you because they had no cause and were stupid? The cause is important, but the people are also important, so I kept the middle way.”

“The rise of the Yellow Turbans is unusual, so I made that judgment.”

“I could have died today with that judgment.”

“What is it!”

“My mother, who will be sad when my older brother dies, doesn’t even think about my older brother and me, right? And the wedding was held, but will your sister-in-law make you a widow? The child in the womb of my sister-in-law will be made into a child without a father.”

In an instant, Hwabok’s eyes widened.

“Has your sister-in-law been conceived?”

“Yes, I said hello earlier and looked at your complexion, but I felt a baby in my stomach.”

“Hehe, this slope...”

The corners of Hwabok’s mouth, which was blushing, went up.

“If you want to like it, you know that your life is precious, and the next step is the cause. When I die, my children, my sister-in-law, and my family... nobody sees me.”

“Ah got it. Keep that in mind in front of me.”

“You need to emulate people like Joe.”

“To imitate Joe? What should I imitate?”

“My older brother Cho went to the battlefield as a prayer group, but he sent his reliable younger brothers down to his hometown to ensure the safety of his family first and prepare for the future.”

“Okay, okay, stop it. I will work hard in my future.”

The painter had a lot more to say, but he stopped talking about it. If you say more, you might get a backlash.

“Please tell my sister-in-law that I want to congratulate you as well.”

“Okay then.”

Hwabok took the three surviving people to the prefectural office for interrogation, and then rooted out the Unga Sangdan, which had become a dark place.

Perhaps it was because he had heard bitter words from his younger brother, but this time, he was more determined and swift than ever before.

The fireman could not easily give a negative answer.

“The reason I want to attack Cheongju-gun is not because Yeonju-gun is good and Cheongju-gun is evil. It is because if we end this fight as soon as possible, even one less of the weak grass swept away will die.”

“.....”

“.....”

The painter nodded his head more heavily in Eulji’s eyes for a while.

“Whoa, maybe... the person who led me to this place could be something other than a specter.”

“yes? What else do you mean by that?”

“I will heal the sick according to the bishop’s will. If anyone gets hurt on the battlefield, I’ll fix which side he was on. Oh, of course, except for the ringleaders like the chieftain and his younger siblings.”

“Thank you. After all, you are the freshman of public tax.”

“What is Shinseon... just a member of the legislature?”

The painter tried to stand up, but Eulji pressed his forehead to the floor and bowed deeply over and over again.

The fireman said goodbye to his brother.

“Ber is leaving already?”

“My worries about your older brother have been relieved, and I think this is enough.”

“Keuhum, then do you plan to go back to Chohyeon?”

“No, I plan to look around the battlefield.”

“That battlefield... Why? Could it be that you’re a doctor, so you’re going to look for patients?”

“yes.”

“Are you crazy? You are the one who asks me to put my own safety first.”

“Even if I walk around the battlefield, I will never die.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Did you forget already? Did I cut one of my fingertips when the 50 or so assassins led by Unya attacked? Did you even cut your collar?”

“That’s... that’s right. By the way, what the hell was that wagon at that time? It was amazing.”

“My older brother must be sad, but what happened at that time is a secret that cannot be told. Anyway, I have a lifeline that will keep you safe anywhere, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Hmm~.”

Hwabok pondered for a moment with a thoughtful expression. Then he opened his mouth.

“It reminds me of what you said to me to look like Joe.”

“.....”

“I heard from the battlefield that even though he was a member of the prayer committee under Hwang Bo-sung, he was the last to join in suppressing the uprising. The reason is that we have prepared not only for the immediate fight, but also for the future.”

“I am still listening to the news of Joe. Among all the generals who participated in the war this time, they said he was making the most revolutionary achievement.”

Hwabok’s eyes widened as the painter seemed to know more information.

“How can you, a member of the council, hear the news from the battlefield more than I do... do you have ears like mine?”

The painter deliberately appealed himself strongly to his brother.

“yes. My older brother may be shocked to say this, but... I am also making my own ears and eyes.”

“Is that so? Well, if it’s you, you’ll stay like that. What is Joe’s current situation?”

Hwabok had a completely different view of Hwabu after the incident of Unya’s raid.

“I heard that your brother Cho hid and waited on the road to Gwangjong and destroyed the large army of Jangbo and Jangryang, who were fleeing from the combined attack of Hwang Bo-sung and Joo Jun-jungnangjang.”

“Did something like that happen? Are you certain?”

“yes. However, the unfortunate fact is that even after doing so, it seems that the two brothers, who can be called chiefs, have been missed.”

“Hehe, it’s something I don’t know, but it doesn’t sound like you’re telling lies... Your ears and eyes seem to be brighter than mine.”

Hwabok had no choice but to acknowledge the Hwabu now.

If he had at least that level of eyes and ears, he would be able to avoid danger in advance, and even if danger were to come, he would be able to overcome it with the power of defeating fifty or so assassins without hurting a single finger.

In the end, Hwabok allowed Hwabu to go to the battlefield.

“You must always be careful. Deliver the news often.”

“yes.”
