Episode 69: Uncle will protect you (2)
Unless you are an expert enough to use water rain, no matter how outnumbered you are, your chances of survival in the rapids of the Yellow River are slim.
However, you will have a higher chance of survival than dealing with a peak expert.
The enemy, everyone, rushed off the deck.
with a plop-! with a plop-!
When all of the Red King’s enemies disappeared, applause erupted.
“Waaah!”
“Waaaa!!”
The passengers who survived from the brink of death hugged each other and were happy.
Meanwhile, Dong-gu was in a horseback riding stance, applying strength to the sword he was holding.
“Dong-gu, what are you doing?”
Yu Seol turned his back and glanced around him.
“That’s strange. “Suddenly it doesn’t work again.”
“What?”
“I was full of energy a little while ago, but it suddenly disappeared. There must be some secret hidden deep inside my body. “I’m trying to find the source of that power.”
“What secret?”
“I think you are the world’s greatest boneless person, born once every hundred years.”
“Ah, lie.”
Yoo Seol’s acting, with its flirtatious attitude, was perfect.
“Are you sure. “You just saw him defeating the enemy.”
At that time, the captain and crew approached Dong-gu and put their hands together.
The joy that could not be hidden appeared on their faces as they came back from the dead.
“Thank you. “Everyone survived because of Daehyup.”
Dong-gu scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
“Never mind. “I just did what I had to do as a martial arts warrior.”
“you’re welcome. “I would like to repay you in a small way, but would it be okay if I vacated the special cabin in the three-story pavilion?”
“Oh my gosh, that’s so....”
Yoo Seol tugged on Dong-gu’s collar as he tried to refuse.
“Wow... thank you.”
What is the need to refuse? Above all, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see the three-story pavilion.
The group followed the captain up the stairs.
It was the best cabin that could not be used by anyone except high-ranking officials or VIPs.
Two cozy beds. And water was also stored for bathing.
It was on a different level from the narrow first floor.
“If you need anything for the rest of the trip, please let me know.”
The rumor caught my ear.
Isn’t it a good idea to rush over and take up half of the bed and lie down on your back? Then, he tapped his forearm with his palm and sent out an electric sound.
-Grandpa, come quickly and lie down next to me. It’s very comfortable here.
Yu Jin-san only smiled happily at the sight of his granddaughter being happy.
– no. Grandpa will take a look around and come back, so take a break for a while.
– Yes. Come quickly~
Yujinsan went down to the deck and picked up a stick from the stairs.
He moved to the deserted stern and scanned the waters of the Yellow River.
‘I guess I can walk the remaining distance comfortably. As long as I finish cleaning up.’
There was something uncomfortable about it that I couldn’t just ignore.
There must be some people left on the ship the bandits came on.
Moreover, I saw that some of the bandits who had entered the river managed to survive and climb onto the boat.
If I just sent him back, there was a high probability that he would come for revenge along with his other colleagues.
‘Uncertainty should be prevented in advance.’
Aren’t these guys who treat the lives of passengers like insects? I didn’t want to overlook the situation.
He looked around, saw that there were no eyes to see, and jumped away.
Taaa-!
He flew high out of the ship and jumped into the current of the Yellow River.
If anyone had been watching, they would have thought he was trying to kill himself.
However, rapid water was not a threat to Yu Jin-san, a transcendental expert.
His movements as he ran across the water were unstoppable.
Ta-ta-ta-tat-!
The target was a boat that the enemy had arrived on.
It was a medium-sized ship with good mobility and could accommodate about 30 people.
‘An answer of force?’
Armless water. It was a technique of walking on water without any resistance, and was a high-level light technique that could not be compared to the leveling technique.
I couldn’t even imitate myself standing on a tree.
When on earth did you learn this? I couldn’t help but be amazed at my granddaughter’s martial arts skills improving day by day.
“When did you follow me?”
“In a few hours ago. “Grandpa, you fought alone except me, right?”
“There is no need for you to come forward because of people like that. “There are a lot of masters in Hanam, so Seol should save his strength just in case.”
The granddaughter’s face brightened at the mention of experts.
It seemed like my blood was boiling.
“How many?”
“That is the center of Gangho. Wherever you go, there are plenty of amazing experts. “You can’t even compare it to Shaanxi.”
“I want to go quickly. When will you arrive?”
“Probably about five days.”
“For that long...?”
A child who is addicted to martial arts training is bound to get sick after staying on a boat for several days.
I needed to relieve my frustrated granddaughter. Come to think of it, I wasn’t even able to play with him for a while.
“Since we’re out like this, shall we go play with grandpa?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a joy that could not be hidden appeared on the child’s face.
“really?”
“Come on, let’s see how fast Seol is!”
After speaking, he kicked the current and started running to the other side.
His speed, running on the water of the Yellow River with all his might, was twice as fast as that of a fish.
Nevertheless, Yoo Seol’s face was full of composure.
“Hi-Hi. “I count to ten and chase after you.”
* * *
Unlike the first time, life on board was comfortable.
It was possible to go all the way to Hanam in one go, but there was no need to overdo it. Because the rest of the voyage was quite enjoyable.
A comfortable VIP room. Why go through all the trouble when you’re receiving high-quality cuisine and the best treatment?
Moreover, when he was bored, he would sneak out and practice light exercise together. In the process, they succeeded in discovering and destroying three ships of the Red King Dan.
Everything was perfect throughout the voyage. Five days later, when we arrived at Maengjin Port, our destination, we felt a sense of regret.
“haha! “How long has it been since you stepped on this ground?”
It was Dong-gu, carrying a bundle around his shoulder. I couldn’t help but feel good because I was back near my hometown after ten years.
“It was fun so far, mister.”
Yu Seol held her grandfather’s hand and said goodbye to him.
However, Dong-gu could not easily let go of the children as if he felt regretful.
“Would you guys like to go to my house together? “Our family head is not far from here.”
“where are you?”
“This is Nanyang County in the Luoyang direction. There is also a road that leads to Seongsan Mountain, where your relatives are located. “Why don’t we stop by?”
What would an eight-year-old child know about Hanam’s geography?
Yu Seol looked at her grandfather with a puzzled face.
After thinking for a moment, he soon nodded.
There is no place to stay right now anyway. Establishing several bases in Hanam was not a bad choice.
Moreover, Namyanghyeon was just around the corner.
“yes. “I do that.”
“Okay, good idea! Let’s go quickly. “If you go diligently, you can get there within today.”
So the three of them, carrying their luggage, headed towards the place where Namyanghyeon was located.
The group that departed in the morning was only able to arrive at their destination as it got dark.
A manor surrounded by a wall on a hill in a quiet plain. As a rough estimate, it was enough space for about 50 people to live comfortably.
As he said, it was a structure that was sufficient to be called a famous military family.
“weird. “Why is the door closed?”
Dong-gu approached the door with a puzzled expression.
From what he could remember, the family gate had never been closed. Moreover, it was so quiet that he couldn’t understand it.
After a while, Dong-gu stood tall in front of the door and shouted at the top of his voice.
“Father, I’m here!”
Strangely, there was no reaction.
“....”
“I’m from Dong-gu!!”
At that time, Yoo Seol muttered with a dark expression behind his back.
“...the smell of blood.”
