Episode 74: I am the King of Fishing (2)
Dong-gu grinned as he ate the golden-cooked fish handed to him by Yu-seol.
“Very delicious! “It’s the best fish I’ve ever eaten.”
“lol. “I caught it.”
Jinsan Yu waited calmly until he finished eating.
And after a while.
Dong-gu wiped his mouth and got to the point first.
“Have you heard of Heukya Bang?”
“This is my first time hearing this. “Are you the information merchant I asked you to find out?”
“yes. It is said that the power has expanded rapidly over the past five years based on its enormous wealth. “At least in Henan Province, information power is better than openness.”
When it comes to handling information, openness is the best in Moorim, both in name and reality. But is there a force that could threaten their livelihood?
It was certainly an interesting fact, but there were also parts that were unclear.
“That’s strange. “Are you saying that Gyeongjae, who doesn’t even let his brothers take away his food bowl, left them alone?”
“I don’t think there’s anything special about it because it’s run like a branch organization. According to rumors, most of them are hired ronin warriors and the formal members are hiding in the shadows.”
“Well, if you have the money, it would be more advantageous. “How do I contact you?”
“It is said that if you drink black mountain tea at Ihyang Teahouse in Baekhwahyeon, they will approach you within a few days.”
Even Yu Jin-san, who loves tea, had heard this name for the first time.
It seemed like it was probably a special tea sold only there, but it felt somehow familiar.
“Heuksan... chara. “Isn’t it possible for a person to drink it out of curiosity?”
“I can’t drink without a purpose. “A cup of tea costs five nyangs.”
Five silver coins. It was an amount that could only be made possible if Jin-san Eugene wiped out all of his assets.
“It’s too expensive for a contact. I can only hope it’s worth it. Anyway, good job.”
I didn’t have high expectations because he seemed immature, but the job was done very well.
It was obvious how hard he must have worked to collect this much information.
“you’re welcome. If there is anything else you would like me to do, please let me know.”
The target is the Shaolin Temple in Songshan. To be exact, it was Ambassador Wongang who would be there.
Since there is no information, the order would be to conduct a preliminary investigation first. I had to contact Heukyabang.
But before that, there was something that had to be resolved first.
“Any information about the Hafuse family?”
As if he had been waiting, Dong-gu took out a scroll from his pocket.
“This is information compiled by my aunt. “Take a look.”
“hmm. “I really like his work.”
Dong-gu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
“You have to work hard at everything. “The life of our family depends on our elders.”
“It’s nice to be honest.”
As expected, the content was as Jin-san Yu expected.
The most powerful family in Hanam. The Xiafuse family was not a force that could be easily seen.
The core masters ranged in level from first-class to peak, and even to matriarchs whose level of martial arts was unfathomable.
To make matters worse, it was written that he had connections to the coffin. So, there was no choice but to suffer unilaterally from the head of the village.
“Tomorrow is the anniversary, right?”
“Yes, old man. “I will come back from Hafusega tomorrow morning.”
“Let’s go in first. “The old man will be waiting like he’s dying.”
“Yes, I will take the lead.”
Eugene San and his granddaughter held hands and walked along behind Dong-gu.
After a while, when I reached the entrance of Donggajang, I saw a familiar figure.
The youngest son, Seok, was waiting at the entrance looking restless.
“Third brother! How worried I was that I would be late. “Did you resolve the matter well?”
“huh. “Is everyone inside?”
He nodded and wrapped his arms around the shoulders of the children behind Dong-gu.
“Oh my beautiful nieces! “Grandpa is waiting, so let’s go in.”
Dong Woon-geol, the matriarch of the Dong family.
He was sitting on the floor leading to the outside of the pavilion with a serious expression.
It was only after discovering Dong-gu and the children that his face seemed to relax a little.
“My babies, come up here.”
Dong-woon-geol, without any hesitation, placed Yu-jin-san and Yu-seol firmly on his side.
I was jealous of how much he loved his grandchildren.
Dong-gu, who knew the truth, asked with bitterness in his heart.
“Then why are you here? “Your complexion looks dark.”
“I’ve thought about it carefully, but I don’t know if this is right.”
“What does that mean?”
“Tomorrow, our San will face that bastard from Hafuse. “I’m worried that I’m putting too much of a burden on this little one.”
If you had known that Yu Jin-san was an anti-robot expert, how could you be so worried?
Dong-gu waved his hand as if there was no need to worry.
“There is no other way anyway. “Don’t worry, you can win.”
“No matter how Sanyi is Geomseon’s disciple, it will be difficult for him to deal with the experienced Xiahoucheon.”
“Know. “This is a big deal.”
Dong-seok grabbed the sheath of the sword at his waist with a solemn expression.
“I will step forward. “Let’s just keep San alive for now.”
“This is not someone you can deal with.”
“There is no other way. “I heard that our family has a future only if San-i survives?”
It was a stone that even Xiahou City could not handle, let alone Xiahoucheon. He may be planning to end the situation by giving up his life.
However, from the beginning, the head of the household did not have the authority to make a choice.
“No need to worry. “You will all die today.”
It was a sound that came from the entrance of the manor.
Two middle-aged men wearing white coats with a white tiger on them were in the lead. It will be Xiahoucheon and Xiahou Castle.
And behind them were twelve swordsmen dressed in hostile attire. It was the Blood Blood Inspection Team, a military organization of the Xiahu family.
Dong-seok, who has an impatient personality, asked them back.
“What does that mean?”
A wry smile appeared on Ha Hu-cheon’s face.
“I guess you’re a kid named Dong-seok. Let me say it again. From today, the name of the head of the Dong family will be erased from the world.”
It was no different from saying he was going to kill everyone in the neighborhood.
The moment he finished speaking, the bloodletting team began to disperse throughout the manor.
A movement that goes beyond the first class. It was truly a hopeless situation. It will be positioned so that no one can escape.
The head of the family, Dongwoon-geol, shouted with an angry face.
“What kind of outrageous act is this?”
He Hu-cheon’s expression darkened and a deep murderous look appeared.
“Do you want to save your family?”
“...?”
“Then kneel.”
A soft word. His command had many implications.
It meant that if you kneel down and apologize, you might be able to avoid the worst situation.
You are ordering the head of the family, the pride of the family, to kneel. And that in front of his family and friends.
However, the position of the matriarch was that she would do anything to save her family.
What choice does he have?
An unbearable shame. Dongwoon-geol’s face trembled as she gently bent her knees.
Just as he was about to kneel. Suddenly, Jinsan Yu, who was waiting behind him, grabbed him by the collar and sent a signal.
– If Grandpa gets down on his knees, I will cut off my own legs.
It was a sound that could not have come from a child’s mouth.
Rather, is it because of that? Dong Woon-geol came to his senses at Yu Jin-san’s words. How could he kneel when his beloved grandson threatened to cut off his own legs?
Yu Jin-san could tell that the proposal was false from the flow of energy he felt from Ha Hu-cheon.
Rather, life becomes more and more intense. It was clear that the intention was to end Donggajang as miserably as possible.
just as expected?
“There is pride in the subject. It doesn’t matter. “I had no intention of saving even one person anyway.”
“Yes you bastard!”
Ha Hu-cheon seemed to rather enjoy Dong Woon-geol’s anger.
“Wan, who died at your hands, was my favorite youngest brother.”
“He brought this upon himself! It was he who coveted my son’s woman and forced him to spar with Jinken! Besides, didn’t you already take my five sons as compensation!”
“How dare you call our youngest a bastard? Let’s see if you can make fun of that dirty mouth a little later.”
After finishing speaking, He Hu-cheon nodded once toward the right.
Then Xiahousheng drew his sword and stepped forward.
“Do you think the world will turn a blind eye to your evil deeds?”
It would not be good if the brutal atrocities of the Xiahu family became known to the martial arts community. It was so cruel that it could have been ostracized even by political factions.
But they seemed to have no intention of stopping.
On the contrary, Ha Hu-cheon looked back with a relaxed expression, as if something interesting had happened.
“I never thought about that. “No one will ever know what happened today.”
“You guys can’t wait....”
“We should start with sparring before that, right? “It is our Hahusega’s way to give back in the same way.”
This probably means that he will kill Dong-seok first through real sword sparring and then eliminate the rest of his family at once.
There was no turning back now.
The family members of the eastern family hesitated, not knowing what to do.
And in their gap, Yu Seol was seen watching this scene.
At that time, an elderly woman hugged Yoo Seol around her waist and patted her back. This was because the child was shaking as if he was frightened.
It was completely contrary to Yu Jin-san’s calm appearance.
“Don’t be too afraid, baby. “No matter what happens to this old lady, I will protect you.”
But she was completely mistaken.
The identity of trembling. It was never scary.
Rising anger. Unfamiliar emotions were slowly encroaching on Yoo Seol’s heart.
Yu Jin-san noticed this and looked at his granddaughter with a worried expression.
