Episode 843 There are limits to screwing people up! (3)
Shoot.
The sound of grain pouring is pleasant.
Jo Geol, holding a sword in his hand, shouted loudly at the crowd.
“There is enough, so don’t fight and get in line! “There’s more than enough for everyone!”
And as if to prove his words, he tapped the grain sacks placed in front and behind me.
“Here we are.”
“Really… thank you so much, Musa. thank you.”
“you’re welcome.”
Jo Geol smiled as she looked at the old man, who was even shedding tears and repeatedly thanking him.
Hyeonyeong used the money that Hyeonjong had borrowed from Cheongmyeong at usury and purchased a large amount of grain. And they are now being distributed to the poor people of the Yangtze River.
Not only here, but all of Hwasan’s disciples and members of the Tang family visited nearby villages to provide relief.
“Go to sleep.”
It was at that time that a man who came forward was scooping up grains into a sack held out.
“Oh my, oh my. thank you. “You are so devoted.”
“ha ha ha. “I’m kind of handsome.”
“Such an extraordinary young warrior! Rumors about the young warriors of Hwasan are spreading around the Yangtze River these days! “There are people who fought against one of those evil enemies, Jang Il-so of Maninbang!”
Jo Geol’s chin rose higher and higher.
“under. under. under. hot! What’s so great about that? Of course, Jang Il-so was also great, but….”
Before saying that, the eyes of the old man who had received the grain widened.
“Then maybe the warrior….”
“Ugh ugh!”
“Why are you doing this!”
“Oh no. My side hurts from being hit by Jang Il-so. Okay… this isn’t going to get better easily.”
“Oh my god… that great person…”
A flood of emotion flooded the old man’s face.
I was so moved by the fact that the great man who mixed the world’s greatest swordsman with a sword was personally distributing grain like this.
“Then maybe…?”
“yes?”
“Warrior, you are the famous Hwasan Swordsman Association in the world?”
“….”
“Isn’t it? Then… the volcano sword?”
“….”
“…Isn’t it? Oh, then I guess Bing….”
“I put it all in.” Next time.”
“Hey, warrior over there.”
“yes?”
“…I think my grain is a little less than other people’s.”
“It’s the same.”
“It definitely seems a bit small….”
“No. “It’s the same… ahhh!”
Suddenly, a palm flew out and struck the back of Jo Geol’s head.
“Don’t mess around and capture it properly!”
“Ah, why does the death penalty always punish me!”
“I guess it’s because other people don’t do anything worthy of being scolded!”
“no…!”
“Just say one more word.”
As Yunjong rolled his eyes, he began to scoop up more grains, even though he was muttering dejectedly.
“Hey, what a dirty world. “Some people are Hwasan Sword Association and others are Hwasan Jeonggeom, but I am Hwasan’s little guy.”
“Shut your mouth.”
Then Jo Geol stopped singing the strange song and pursed her lips. Yoonjong laughed and helped spread the grain.
“I really don’t know how to express my gratitude….”
“No.”
Yoonjong shook his head.
“I am sorry that you are going through hardships because of our sword-wielding thugs.”
“How can it be the volcano’s fault! “It’s all because of those rotten old-timers and those Sapas who will tear you to death!”
“that’s right!”
“Volcanoes are different! “Cheonwoo-maeng is no different!”
Shouts and shouts of agreement were heard from all directions.
Since it was a time to distribute grain, the public sentiment of the people of the Yangtze River was clearly leaning towards Hwasan.
Yoonjong said with a bitter smile.
“Thank you for your words. However, there are many places to stop by other than here, so I hope you’ll hurry up a bit.”
“Yes, Master! “I will.”
Jogeol’s mouth popped out at the reaction, which was quite different from before.
“Why am I a warrior and my death is a Taoist? “I’m doomed too!”
“…walk.”
“why?”
“If you open your mouth one more time, I might not be able to hear you call me a Taoist.”
“…I will be quiet.”
Seeing Jo Geol quickly close her mouth and share the grain, Yoon Jong smiled slightly and straightened his back.
I could see the Yangtze River flowing in the distance and Gangnam beyond that.
‘It looks so peaceful.’
However, that was only what it looked like on the outside, and it was no longer a place that could be called peaceful.
* * *
“There are too many.”
Baekcheon, who returned after rescuing the civilians, looked at the crowd gathered at the dock and muttered like a sigh.
Not long ago, there were a lot of merchants trying to cross the river, but it felt like the number had doubled in just a few days.
The interesting thing was that normally, when this many merchants gather, there would be a fight or great confusion, but there was no real disturbance here.
Merchants whose turn was imminent waited in an orderly manner, while those who still had to wait a while skillfully pitched their tents and rested, quietly assessing their turn.
Merchants are incomparably hot-tempered when it comes to money, but here they were no different from gentle sheep.
reason? It was very simple.
“there?”
“yes?”
“Your foot stuck out?”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, I’m not saying I did anything wrong. Be careful because you might get hurt by a passing cart. Do you understand?”
“yes! yes! “Thank you so much for your concern!”
This is because the people managing these merchants are all bandits who look like they ripped a tiger to pieces with their bare hands.
“Is that over there…Hogeol-nim?”
“Not a hero, but a merchant. So what’s going on?”
“We arrived before the person loading the luggage over there…”
“Huh? “Just wait and see.”
The bandit who was checking the order scratched his head with a sad expression on his face.
“Okay. I’m sorry. What should I do about this? If I report it, I will be hit. “Ugh…”
The merchant flinched when he saw the bandit’s face turn white. Even as his eyes began to bloodshot, the merchant quickly opened his mouth.
“Oh no. That’s just what I was saying. “We can just wait and load it.”
“huh? Is that okay?”
“oh my! Of course! haha. “All we have left is time.”
“Thank you. I will definitely repay you! Then go and stand behind me. “I’ll let you load it right away next time!”
“Thank you!”
This is something I will never be thankful for since it was an accidental delay in the order. However, the merchant kept bending down as if he was truly grateful.
“….”
Baekcheon, who was staring at the sheep, opened his mouth to say something, but then turned his head away.
However, the sight I saw when I turned my head was also not very enjoyable.
“So how much money did you say came in yesterday?”
“I have it recorded here in the ledger.”
“Hmm.”
Hyeonyoung took the ledger and flipped through it in a familiar manner.
If this is all there is, there is nothing special about it. Hyeonyoung is the person responsible for checking Maehwado’s attendance as the governor of Hwasan.
…If it weren’t for the King of Green Forest who was politely turning over the ledger.
“Hmm. Have you ever studied accounting separately?”
“haha. “Isn’t this basic knowledge?”
“Very accurate.”
“You won’t miss a single coin. “The most important things for a lasting friendly relationship are trust and honesty!”
“That’s right, that’s right. For the first time in a while, I was able to entrust work to someone I could trust. However… the Galaxy Top will come from time to time to check the ledgers, so I would appreciate it if you could take that into account.”
“Whether it is or not! “You are welcome anytime.”
“ha ha ha. “As I heard, you are a hero.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. “Would you like to do it, Jaegyeonggakju?”
Lim So-byeong held Hyun-yeong’s hand tightly.
“Please take care of me!”
“Huh… huh. Of course. “Hehehe.”
Baeksang, who was watching the scene from the side, was startled and said to Baekcheon.
“Death penalty. “I just saw that hand…”
“Ivory.”
“yes?”
“Close your mouth.”
“….”
Baekcheon also saw clearly. Hyeonyoung held Lim So-byeong’s hand tightly and let go of it, and a heavy-looking bag appeared in her hand.
Baekcheon, who saw Hyunyeong clearing her throat and putting the bag in her arms, closed his eyes tightly and turned his head.
‘I didn’t see anything.’
That’s the way the world is. The history of the world.
Anyway, Baekcheon’s eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the bustling dock.
“Slowly…”
“Yes?”
“I guess I should get ready.”
“Ready for what?”
Baeksang asked back, but Baekcheon just smiled silently.

Late at night.
Cheongmyeong left the room, holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand. The temple halls were still brightly lit.
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong, who was looking around the bright surroundings, slowly turned away.
It’s too bright here to drink comfortably.
His steps headed towards the water. After walking for a while through a thick field of reeds, we arrived at a riverside that was rarely visited by people.
Shoot ahhh.
The river is turbulent, continuously rising and falling.
Cheongmyeong sat down in a suitable place and took a sip of the drink in his hand.
“hmm.”
After a while, Cheongmyeong’s face was slightly distorted as he put down the bottle a little roughly.
As I lay down, I could clearly see the moon rising in the middle of the night sky.
‘I don’t know.’
Things are going well. The volcano has gained fame, benefit, and justification. Through what is happening on the Yangtze River now, Tianyu Meng will definitely take his place.
What would have taken at least ten more years was accomplished in just one month.
So you have to be willing. Because it was something that Cheongmyeong did not want.
But…
“It’s stuffy.”
For some reason, it felt like there was a stone placed in the corner of my chest.
Are you afraid and burdened by the work that Gangnam’s Jang Il-so does?
no. It’s not like that.
I couldn’t understand the cause myself. Ever since I became attached to Jang Il-so, this feeling of discomfort for some unknown reason has not gone away.
I can’t explain it…
“Black?”
“Wow!”
Cheongmyeong, so startled, rolled over and got out of the spot, then stood up violently.
“….”
“Mr. Ao! It’s a surprise! Are you a ghost? uh? “Are you a ghost?”
“…black?”
Before he knew it, Yu Iseol had come closer and was looking at him with an expressionless face.
No matter how much you weren’t on guard, how could it approach so close without even a trace… Oh, that’s right. That guy was always like this.
“Why black?”
“Pull it out.”
“huh?”
Grumbling.
At that moment, Yu Yi-seol slowly pulled out the plum sword on her waist and aimed it at Cheong-myeong.
Cheongmyeong frowned at the sudden action.
“What are we going to do?”
“Bimu.”
“…with me?”
“huh.”
Yu Iseol nodded resolutely. Cheongmyeong sighed deeply.
“I’m not in the mood right now, so I’ll deal with you later. Today…”
That was right then.
Paaaaaa!
An eerie sword energy emanated from the tip of Yu Iseol’s sword. Without any hesitation, the pouring black energy passed right next to Cheongmyeong’s face.
“….”
Surprised, Cheongmyeong wiped his cheek with a blank expression. There was red blood on the tip of my finger.
“…accident?”
“Not twice.”
“….”
Cheongmyeong said, ‘Ha!’ And I laughed out loud. Then, with a slight twist in his face, he slowly pulled out the black sword from his belt.
“I don’t know what you want to do, but I’m not in a good mood right now.”
“….”
“You should be prepared to get scolded.”
“You’re cocky.”
Yu Iseol’s eyes became even colder.
“On the topic of sand.”
“Oh? Then, let’s check how great Sasago’s skills are…”
Yu Iseol kicked the ground and flew into the air before Cheongmyeong could finish speaking.
A frighteningly cold murderousness emanated from her eyes.
