Episode 309. The end of false love (2)
The painter looked at Beon-ah and opened his mouth.
“It’s not that you don’t know your heart, but you can’t do that.”
“Master! All the information that Yunju passes through comes from my own mouth. So please punish me and save Yunju.”
“Do you know what you are talking about? Ui-nyeo Yun used you and obtained information through you. Because of that, he is the one who tried to push people you know into a trap. Even so, I fully understand that you want to protect her, but you can’t do anything that doesn’t work. Wake up.”
“Master, please kill me too. When the Lord dies, I... I may not be able to attend Master any more. So please kill me too.”
“I understand your feelings, but don’t be ridiculously stubborn.”
“It is not stubborn. Please kill me.”
thump thump thump.....
Beon-a begged to be killed while repeatedly stamping her forehead on the floor.
The painter looked at Eulji while making a complicated expression as he watched Bun-ah’s forehead swell and bleed.
“Danju Eulji. What do you think?”
“In fact, killing is the best. If I hadn’t, it would have done a lot of harm to the Lord. However, I am not ignorant of Congressman Buna’s feelings, so if she swears to change her attitude, I will end it by kicking her out.”
stop.
Hearing Eulji’s words, Bun-ah lifted her head, which was filming on the floor.
“Are you saying you want to save your life?”
“Congressman Bun-ah said he would give up his life to save Yun-ju’s daughter. If she knows how you feel and swears never to reveal anything about this place again, I will end with expulsion.”
“The Lord will surely swear.”
“well. We’ll have to wait and see. For now, let’s go to the place where Yunju’s maid is with us.”
“Let’s stop the bleeding from the forehead first. Come here.”
The fireman stopped the bleeding on Buna’s forehead and wrapped it with a bandage.

When I went to Eulji’s residence, I saw Yun-ju, tied up and sitting on a chair.
“Oh brother!”
“Day. Are you really Sejak?”
“I’m sorry.”
As Yun-ju lowered her head, Bun-ah hugged her with tears in her eyes.
Hwabu and Eulji watched the two of them quietly.
After a while, Bun-ah spoke to Yun-ju.
“Master said he would let you live if you told me who it was that made you do this and you swear to keep quiet about everything you’ve seen and heard here. So tell me who made you do this.”
“Anyway, Eosa Daebu will guess who’s behind me.”
“Is your background the will of the company of Ikju?”
Yunju nodded at the painter’s question.
“yes.”
“He and I have no grudge, so why did he send you to me?”
“It is not a matter of resentment. Who can trust whom in this age of war? It is natural to want to keep an eye on the most feared person.”
“I have no intention of attacking Ikju.”
“I don’t know what Eosa Daebu said, but Eosa Daebu has already obtained Yeju, Seoju, Hyeongju, and even Yangju. Wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that we wouldn’t attack only Ikju?”
“Isn’t what you’re saying too far-fetched?”
“There is no compulsion to prepare in advance. Besides, didn’t Eosa Daebu already send a camouflage commander to the Korean-Chinese army? Hanjung County is the land of Ikju.”
“Guardian Zhang is a brother to the leader of the Korean-Chinese army. That is why Wessa Jang went to persuade his brother out of concern for the future.”
When Isu tried to take Bun-ah out, Bun-ah clung to the fireman again.
When the painter strongly nodded at I-su, I-su forcibly dragged Bun-ah out.
When Bun-ah disappeared, the painter looked at Yun-ju with bitter eyes.
“I want to cut off my tongue and cut off my hands and throw them out of the city, but since the foolish disciple cares about you so much, I will ask you one last time. Do you really not want to live?”
Hearing
the fireman’s words, Yunju shed tears and continued with difficulty.
“How can you not want to live like me? In fact, there were many times when I hesitated several times whether or not to pass on the information to other colleagues because of my older brother. But I can’t help it either. I’d rather kill you.”
“You have a knack for making asking for help really difficult. I know how to properly stimulate people’s nature. Perhaps he seduced Bun-ah with such skill?”
“.....”
“I know that she is dangerous enough to feel relieved if I kill her right away. But if I kill you, Bun-ah will be very sad. My heart is not greater than Bun-ah’s sorrow, so I will spare you. Eulji Danju.”
“Your master.”
“Exile Yun-ju to Ik-ju.”
“All right.”
“After that, if you sneak in and get around Bun-ah... At that time, you might hit Bun-ah’s wooden car.”
When the painter finished talking and left, Eulji looked at her with a cold expression.
“Seeing that I raised a child like you, I am not an ordinary person either. Well, since he is a person who has become a popular figure in an era when things were running rampant and the emperor was half mad... I can guess how vicious he is. I look at Congressman Bun-ah’s side and let him go safely, but all the other three that are related to you will die.”
Eulji’s words surprised Yun-ju, but she didn’t reply.
* * *
Eulji approached the fireman, who was looking at the distant mountains with a confused expression.
“I did everything you commanded.”
“Beon-ah is still out of his mind, isn’t he?”
“yes. For now, he was put in prison on a suitable charge.”
“There’s no need to lock it up, is it?”
“I thought it would be more stable if I put him in a prison. And no matter how much I didn’t know, Jang’s visit to the brothers should have been kept a secret.”
“Whoa-! Perhaps, as Danju said, being in prison is a way to relieve guilt. Anyway, it will hurt your heart, so please take care.”
“All right. Since you’ve been through a lot, your mind will have grown up by the time you get out of prison.”
“Whoa~. Since the world is atrocious, all sorts of methods are mobilized.”
“Even the trinket we planted in the enemy camp is not very proud.”
“It is. Who in this world can be proud?”
“It is unavoidable. But there is no feudal lord as human as the Duke of Zhou.”
“I ordered the expulsion of my disciple’s lover... It’s strange to hear that he’s human.”
“I was not a woman who could show mercy. In fact, letting them live is to the point of worrying itself.”
“Have you planted people around the will?”
“There are a few people who do chores, but they haven’t entered important positions yet.”
“Please pay attention to the trend of the will company.”
“All right.”
“Whoa~. Beyond the mountain, I thought the mountain was the end, but it is a mountain again.”
“Don’t worry, the Duke of Zhou is a high mountain that no one dares to climb.”
“I am always grateful to Eulji Danju.”
Eulji looked at the fireman’s reddened eyes and let out a short sigh.
‘You must have been in a lot of pain!’
