Chapter 361

Episode 361. Double-edged sword (2)

“Nanggun.”

“ma’am.”

The painter hugged his wife for the first time in a long time.

Five years had passed before he fought and won against Jingju, Ikju, and the Xiliang Army, and was crowned emperor.

I haven’t heard of the house once in a while.

“hello. father.”

At that time, her daughter Hwarang hesitantly greeted the painter.

The daughter I saw when I was 3 years old was turning 8 years old.

“huh. okay. You’ve grown so much already. sorry. Come here. Let’s hug each other.”

“yes? Ah yes.”

Hwarang looked at her mother’s face for a moment, then forced herself to walk closer and hugged the painter.

snap.

The painter held his daughter and lifted him up.

“This guy looks just like his mother!”

“Yes hehe.”

Hwarang laughed with a very awkward face.

The painter held the daughter for a long time, then put it down, approached the mother, and prostrated herself.

“A disgruntled little boy finally sees his mother...”

“Is it a blessing to be on that carriage?”

My mother’s eyes were not on the fireman, but on the wagon carrying the coffin behind him.

Yeo-po’s body was sent to the family of Mrs. Eom and Cho-seon, and Hwa-bok’s body was brought to the painter’s shop.

“Your mother. I couldn’t protect my older brother because I was a small child.”

“I have already heard from people how Bok-yi died.”

For some reason, the mother did not cry or show any emotional ups and downs.

rattle.

However, when he approached the carriage and opened the coffin, he passed out.

If the fireman had not hurriedly helped her, she would have hit her head on the ground and suffered a concussion.

The fireman hurriedly laid the mother down, laid the spittle, and massaged the back of her neck.

After a while, she woke up and the tears she had been holding back began to flow endlessly. Her tears continued until the funeral period was over and the eldest son was buried.

In the meantime, I fainted three times, and each time, the fireman was by my side to provide first aid.

Since the flower pot was contacted in advance, the two brothers took care of the funeral, and the mother and sister-in-law were busy consoling each other.

A few days after the funeral, the procession of mourners that had flooded in like a wave came to an end.

Of course, condolences from distant places such as Ikju and Yangju were still coming, but now I can afford to take care of my family.

Flower Pot asked while pouring a drink into a glass with bloodshot eyes.

“When are you planning to hit Jojo?”

“We’re going to strike after we’ve pacified Xiliang.”

The fireman poured the alcohol his brother poured into his mouth at once and poured it into his brother’s glass.

“Wouldn’t it be too late? The time for you to strike Xiliang is enough time for Cao Cao to kill Byeongju and the sons of Yuan Shao who fled to Yuju. If you absorb their power, it won’t be easy for you either, right?”

“I will absorb more power than Cao Cao.”

“I understand what you mean, but do you really need to give me that chance? What if I attack Cheongju while you pacify Xiliang?”

Cheongju is the land of Jojo, adjacent to Seoju.

“My older brother, Jojo, is a strong man that is difficult to deal with alone.”

For an instant, the flower pot’s eyes twitched.

“I look weak in your eyes, do you see?”

“I don’t mean that you are weak, it means that Jojo is just as picky.”

“That word is that word.”

“I know how you feel, but please wait a little while until I calm Xiliang.”

“I heard that it is already a large army of well over a million, so wouldn’t it be better to turn half of it to Xi Liang’s calm and join forces with the other half to attack Cao Cao? Even so, it is a large army of over a million.”

“Moving behind my older brother without hesitation can result in exposing weaknesses both left and right. Even if we have a lot of troops right now, we are in a situation where we are getting attention from others because of that number. Rather than exposing weaknesses, I think it would be better to conquer Seo Liang and then create a large army of over 2 million to strike at once.”

As I pondered the reason for the delay, I realized that the cause was the history of the future, which I knew through knowledge.

The painter quietly excluded historical knowledge and judged the situation based only on the current situation.

Then I started to see things I hadn’t seen before.

‘The time when Jojo’s power is weakest is right now! That’s why my older brother is showing his impatience, and many bookmakers are saying that now is the right time.’

Already because of himself, history is flowing in a different direction from what he knew, but he was foolishly entangled in history.

A sudden realization came.

‘Heh heh... I must have been foolish!’

I realized my stupidity, now I need to correct it.

“great. Your brother may be right. We need to gather the bookmakers and longevity and hold a meeting.”

“Good idea. If you can only avenge your older brother, you don’t have to give me the throne.”

“.....”

“Master.”

The painter and the flower pot were about to get up from their seats, but Bun-ah ran from afar with Yun-ju.

“uh? Earn!”

Perhaps because of the joy, the fireman’s voice grew louder.

“Receive from me. Poor disciple Bun-ah greets Master after a long time.”

When Bun-a bowed down on her face, Yun-ju, who was next to her, also bowed by sitting down.

“Heh heh... Why are you saying such a grandiose greeting? It must have been difficult to come a long way, so get up quickly.”

“yes.”

“So, did you eat dinner?”

“It is still before dinner. There are other people who came with me.”

“Companions? who?”

“I came to pay condolences with Son Kwon and his wife in Yangju.”

“ah! right. you were in yangju But if you came to the condolences together, you would come together. Why did you and your wife come in first?”

“Son Kwon’s son-in-law was delayed due to disarming, so only we entered first.”

“ah! armed.”

The fireman nodded his head when he heard the reason.

No matter how much they mourned, since the times were heinous, generals were disarming at the entrance of the painter’s shop.

Until now, only the guards who came with the emperor had visited the condolence gate without disarming. Of course, the captains of the escort were those who escorted the fireman in the past.

“You must be hungry, let’s go eat.”

“First of all, I will offer my condolences to Hwabok’s funeral.”

“Oh, yes. Let’s go to Yeongjeon.”

“yes.”

As the fireman took Bun-ah to Yeongjeon, he glanced at Yun-ju, who was following him.

She had a hard time with the painter, so she didn’t dare to open her mouth except to say hello.

“Mrs. Yoon.”

“yes! Ah yes. Hwabu Eosa Daebu.”

“Tsk, are you still the Eosa Godfather? I’m the teacher of the nanggun, shouldn’t I have a different honorific title? Furthermore, I heard that you are learning medicine from Bun-ah, so you are learning my medicine after all? From now on, call me Master just like Bun-ah.”

stop.

Hearing the painter’s words, Yunju suddenly stopped walking and burst into tears. Then, he prostrated himself and bowed again.

“How can you be so unworthy of a lowly me...”

The painter hurriedly raised her up. Then he took Bun-ah’s hand and let her hold her hand and opened his mouth.

“Looking at the letter that Buna sent me the other day, it seems that Mrs. Yoon made a great contribution to making the seven-leaf cheongjeomje. Since then, I have already made up my mind to treat Mrs. Yoon the same as my son, so from now on, please call me your teacher.”

“I don’t know what to do with Master Shi’s graceful body.”

“The Chili-leaf Blue Point Jem made by Mrs. Awa Yun will free many people in this world from the pain of parasites. So it’s okay to accept this little consideration.”

“Most of them were made by Master, and my wife and I only finished the final touches. How do you pass the ball to us?”

“It’s a start, anyone can do it. But that finish is not something that anyone can do. He did really well this time.”

The painter patted Bun-ah on the shoulder several times and then took the lead.

Bun-ah and Yun-ju followed the fireman’s footsteps and looked as if they had won the world.
