Episode 137: He was a good brother (3)
There were two of us when we left, but there were three when we returned.
The Apostate Monk, who briefly joined the group, continued to smile. It may be because the burden on my heart that I have carried my whole life has been relieved.
“When the black guy comes, you must help me. Understand?”
I’ve already been asked the same question thousands of times. No matter how much he promised, he didn’t seem to be reassured.
Jin-san Yu was keeping his mouth shut as if he was tired of answering, and instead, his granddaughter was answering automatically.
“all right.”
A soulless answer that comes out reflexively.
Judging by his weak voice, he seemed to be tired of the rumors.
“please?”
“all right. please.”
“Really?”
“all right.”
“It’s not a lie, right?”
“....”
“Why aren’t you answering?”
The tenacity of the apostate monk, who chattered non-stop while practicing meditation, was enough to make one put one’s tongue out.
Jinsan Yu saw his granddaughter’s hands trembling and sent a message.
– You have to endure it, baby.
– I’m strange. My head is getting hot.
Everyone has a limit to their patience. The granddaughter seemed to be slowly becoming irritated.
However, if you break up with the apostate monk here, everything you have endured so far will be in vain.
– When we get to know him, he is a pitiful person, so we should understand him.
– Do I have to keep holding on?
– To become a great person, you must develop patience. Grandpa will change your shift after half-hour.
– We’ll arrive after half an hour.
All I had to do was endure another half hour of hardship.
The destination is Hohyeon’s Paedomun Gate.
The problem that Yujinsan had been concerned about so far was its defense problem.
It was clear that Hohyeon would not be able to hold out for long if the civil war intensified. Considering the power of the Murim Alliance, it was very famous.
But if an apostate monk joins there, the story will be different.
That was the condition that Yu Jin-san gave Jeong-hye in exchange for help.
Until the black-faced guy returns, he will stay in Hohyeon and protect Paedomun.
Considering the safety of the children stolen from the training camp in Amisan, it was absolutely necessary to strengthen the defense. Only then will you be able to continue your next steps with peace of mind.
* * *
Every corner of Paedomun was more lively than before, and laughter never ceased.
This may be because the children who escaped and joined Amisan began to adapt.
They were all children who were hungry for love. He was bound to fit in well with the warriors of the Paedo clan who were unable to have children due to the side effects of Gwidugong.
The granddaughter had disappeared somewhere as soon as she arrived. I couldn’t tell if he was there to have fun or if he was running away from Jeonghye.
Yu Jin-san, who was left alone, was looking around Paedo-mun’s manor with Jeong-hye.
“Hello~”
“Why?”
“Do I have to protect this place now?”
Yu Jin-san raised his head and looked into Jeong-hye’s eyes.
“okay. But you have to keep in mind. If my younger brother bullies the kids here, our promise will be broken. “You understand, right?”
“Jeonghye always keeps her promises! “I will kill all those who come here.”
I couldn’t help but feel reassured by the sight of the apostate monk clenching his fists.
Is it because one thing to worry about is gone? Eugene San’s face was full of composure for the first time in a while.
It was while I was looking around for a while.
“Brother Jinsan!!”
A familiar and welcome voice. It was Baek Gyu, the master of the Paedo Gate.
When I looked back, he was running this way.
And even their purpose.
“If what you said is true, there will be a crisis in the midfield someday.”
“The timing is unpredictable. Will that be a few years or decades later? And since Geomhu left Wulin and moved to Cheonchuk, it might be resolved well there.”
“hmm. Anyway, if that happens in reality, it will be a three-way match. “Because we can never become one with the rat bastards of the political faction.”
Jin-san also knew it well. The relationship between a political faction and a sad faction is like water and oil, so being together is something we cannot even dream of.
Moreover, the benevolence between the two powers that had been accumulated over a long period of time was like a tangled thread.
“If the invasion of the Saeroi Murim is imminent, the Murim Alliance will somehow try to liquidate the Sapa first. “If you want to deal with a strong enemy, the order is to eliminate the internal enemy first.”
The Murim Alliance’s operation to destroy the Sa faction, which took place not long ago, may have been part of the behind-the-scenes work to unify the Murim.
Although their plan ended in failure, this was just the beginning.
“Now that we are prepared, it won’t fall so easily.”
“Of course, right now. But what if Changryongdae comes out of the shadows and joins the Murim Alliance?”
“....”
Baekgyu, who was always confident, couldn’t answer at this moment. This is because he personally fought against the Murim Alliance when they attacked Shaanseobunta.
Even though the Four Lords and the Lord of the Black Cat were with them, they had no choice but to retreat.
“But there’s nothing to worry about. “Before that, Changnyongdae will fall into our hands.”
“Are you really planning to capture and punish everyone from Changryongdae to the Murim Lord?”
Jinsan Yu grabbed the teacup with a bitter expression.
“Imagine if all of Paedomun’s family members, except for his younger brother, were murdered. “Then what should my brother do?”
“What are you asking? “We must find them all and tear them to pieces.”
Eugene San took a sip of tea and calmed himself. When I remembered that incident again, my anger filled me.
“And it’s not just about revenge. “If we don’t clean up Eunwon, how will our Seol’s descendants be able to sleep comfortably in the future?”
“Well, that’s true. Because once you start, you cannot stop in Moorim. In any case, I will give my life to help you in anything you do.”
Was it because I felt the sincerity in his words? A faint smile appeared on Eugene San’s face.
“I don’t need my brother’s life, so hurry up and give me your next target.”
“It’s been so long since you came back that you’re already getting ready to leave?”
“It just kind of happens. “I think Seol also wants to leave quickly.”
It was to escape from Jeonghye, who was staying at Paedomun.
How much did you suffer the whole way? I wanted to leave before he bothered me again.
“You have such an impatient personality.”
Baek-gyu smiled sheepishly and held out a letter.
It was information detailing someone’s impressions. He must be a person suspected of being a Changryong member.
Jinsan Yu, who had been silently studying the contents, asked softly.
“A thief?”
“As its nickname suggests, it is the ghost of gambling. I had the kids check him out and they said he had the best talent in the midfield. So much so that they can collect the world’s money.”
“Does that mean he’s also a Changryong member? “There are so many different things.”
From the gatekeeper of Bidomun Gate to the officials of Dohobu. And now even the god of gambling is a Changryong member. It was amazing how many people there were who were hiding their identities like this.
“How about we just leave this bastard to our children?”
You can’t entrust your family’s enemies to someone else. In addition, there was a risk that if the disciples were sent out clumsily, they would be reversed or missed.
That’s why Jinsan Yu flatly refused.
“I think that’s because the Changnyongdae guys can’t give in.”
The letter stated the location where he frequently appeared. It wasn’t far from here, but the problem was that it was very difficult to meet.
The first condition was reputation in the battlefield, and the second was a capital of more than 50 nyang of silver.
Eugenesan didn’t have anything, but it wasn’t a defeat that he wouldn’t prepare in advance.
Baekgyu picked up a thick backpack from the floor and placed it on the table.
“Hundred and fifty nyang of silver. With this, you can bribe a reputable gambler and lure the devil.”
It was an enormous amount of money. Even if one family plays and eats for three generations, they cannot use it all.
“What kind of money did Paedomun have so much money?”
Baek-gyu grinned and said as if it was okay.
“I lost all my spare money, but don’t worry about it. Because investing money in my brother is not a waste of money at all. “Ryeonju also told me not to spare any support.”
I couldn’t help but be thankful for his thoughtfulness.
Recently, Paedomoon’s family has increased, so it must be spending a lot of money. So I was thinking of returning it somehow. If possible, add interest as well.
‘...Go away. Just wait there.’
