Chapter 231

Episode 231. Accepting Woogeum as a subordinate (2)

“Ah! Yeonyeonmok is now taking over the capitals of Cheongju.”

“The capitals of Cheongju! Oh, come to think of it, that place must be Muju Gongsan.”

It was only then that the painter realized why Jojo had not returned.

If he occupies the capital city and appoints officials as his own, even Cheongju will fall into his hands. Since the imperial family had already become infamous for half of the time, it was safe to say that when Jojo posted an auspicious letter, he was almost appointed.

After hearing Woo-geum’s words, the painter thought that it would be a long time before Jojo returned.

However, in the afternoon of the next day, Cao Cao appeared with his men in the capital city.

* * *

“Thank you Boo. I heard from your subordinates that it was much easier to convert prisoners of war to allies thanks to you.”

After returning to the capital city, Jojo had time to reunite with his subordinates for a while, and then went straight to the fireman.

“Anyway, if it hadn’t been for my brother’s request, I would have treated the wounded. By the way, I heard you advanced to Cheongju, so you came back quickly?”

“I didn’t have to stay long as all the Yellow Turban enemies occupying the capital surrendered.”

“Still, shouldn’t we fill the empty city with officials and correct the administrative order before returning?”

“How do I do all of that? You just have to have the smart and clever subordinates below you do it.”

“Oh~. I guess so.”

Cao Cao stopped talking and suddenly took out a school paper with a seal on it from his bosom.

“Oh, and take this.”

“This is...”

The fireman opened the school paper and smiled broadly when he confirmed that it was the appointment letter of the governor of the Eastern county with the emperor’s seal on it.

In the Taesu’s name column, of course, the name of the eldest brother, Hwabok, was written.

“You must have been busy taking over Cheongju... did you have the spirit to post an auspicious letter to the imperial palace?”

The painter felt that Jojo cared about him and was grateful. In fact, the appointment was not urgent, so I could accept it later.

“No matter how distracted I am, can I just ask you and not do what I have to do? I have to do my best.”

“thank you. older brother.”

“It’s nothing compared to what you’ve done.”

The painter talked with Jojo for a while about what had happened, and then called Woo-geum to bring Gyo-ji to his brother.

The reason why he called Woo Jin even though there were other guards was to let Jojo know that Woo Jin was his escort.

Sure enough, Jojo’s eyes widened.

“Did General Wu decide to follow you?”

“I was heartbroken for a while when I heard the news that Poshin Jebuksang, whom I served as the fourth lord, had died. The world is so cruel that it would be reassuring if someone like Geum-hyung escorted it.”

When the painter shuddered a little too much, Jojo put on a slightly bitter expression, but soon smiled broadly.

“That’s right. In fact, from the point of view of a servant, if the prince suddenly dies, the heartache is bound to be great. He is a very outstanding general, and he knows you from his hometown, so it will be very helpful.”

The painter sensed that Jojo was feeling sorry for Woogeum, so he naturally turned around without dragging it out.

“By the way, now that the land is wide and the number of soldiers and people is large, we need to hire a lot of talented people.”

“As usual, I plan to attach rooms widely and get recommendations from military and generals. If you have someone you can recommend, please do. If it’s the person you recommend, I’ll hire you unconditionally.”

“All right. No one immediately comes to mind, but I will think about it.”

“Yeah, and... no. Let’s talk over a drink later tonight.”

“yes.”

The fireman was curious about what Jojo would say, but he nodded lightly as it was something that would be known in time.

* * *

The reason why Jojo made a separate drinking party in the evening was to make a proposal to Hwabu to join him in the future by making a position for the military and municipal committee.

“Are there many things that make you feel good? What else is good about your brother besides becoming governor?”

“You know, your second nephew was born in your sister-in-law’s belly.”

“yes!”

For an instant, the painter made a blank expression.

‘I got better with the lymph node massage, and finally.....’

“Hahaha... What is that expression? Aren’t you happy?”

“I am delighted. But in fact, I was expecting that my sister-in-law would have conceived.”

“huh? you expected? how?”

“When I met my sister-in-law yesterday, I felt a sense of urgency. But the reason I didn’t say anything was because I expected words to come out of my brother’s mouth.”

The painter hurriedly gave a rough look, but it was somehow plausible.

“Is it? Well, if it were you, I thought you would recognize it without having a heart attack.”

The fireman suddenly thought that the ship of the ship in his hometown would be called quite a bit now.

A few months have already passed as Jojo’s request to treat his brother for a while overlapped.

‘I’m going to get some scolding when I go home!’

When the painter thought that Pyeonseon would be very disappointed, his appetite was slightly bitter.

Dadadadadak.....

At that time, I heard the sound of hasty footsteps in the distance.

“Miss Hwa! Senator Hwa!”

“What’s the matter?”

As Hwabok frowned as he saw the subordinates running towards him, a follower behind him opened his mouth and gave a loud voice.

“Uncle Buya is in critical condition right now. Hurry up and get ready to go visit.”

The one who gave a loud voice was Jo In. As I got closer, I knew it was him.

In an instant, Hwabok and Hwabu’s eyes widened.

“Ini hyung. What is it?”

Cao Ren’s uncle is Cao Cao’s father Cao Song.

“I’ll tell you the situation while I’m on my way, so hurry up.”

“I see.”

The fireman hurriedly packed his bag with surgical tools, ordered his disciples to pull the wagon and follow him, and then rode a horse and followed Jo In.

“What the hell happened?”

When the painter put the horse right next to him and started talking, Jo In let out a long sigh and opened his mouth.

“Your uncle was attacked by a group of unknown assailants on his way back from Xuzhou with his family.”

“A raid? When my older brother Jo gave the order to bring my father, there seemed to be well over a thousand horsemen who went out. How can such a large group be attacked by a gangster?”

“I didn’t see it exactly, but I heard from General Hong, who returned bloody, that there were thousands of assailants.”

“okay. It could be the remnants of the Yellow Turbans that were defeated this time.”

“You’ll need to do some more research to find out who these guys are. Nothing can be concluded yet.”

Jo In gritted his teeth to the extent that they made a clicking sound.

The painter thought that if he was angry enough to see Jo-in, his son, Jo-jo, would be even more angry.

‘I don’t know what kind of group it is, but they touched the beehive!’

After running without hesitation for a long time, both the horse and the people were exhausted and needed to rest, but then they saw a man and horse waiting for them.

They were the people sent by Jojo, and they allowed the fireman and Join to exchange horses.

Hwabu and Cao In changed horses and rode for about half a day until they arrived at Cao Cao’s camp.
