Episode 1453. Please take care of me in the future. (3)
“Let’s see… “The property is currently in the warehouse…”
“Commander! “How many acres of rice did we have now?”
“Because I don’t carry a ledger…”
“In this case, wouldn’t it be better to send someone to the North Sea and ask them to bring back the ledger?”
“That is absolutely not possible!”
“huh? why?”
“Then aren’t those people going to point out that the person called the Commander-in-Chief can’t even figure out how much wealth his clan has? Even if I die, I won’t be able to see that! “Bite your tongue and die!”
“⋯⋯.”
“Okay. Let’s see, so Yamyeongju…”
Han Yi-myeong started pulling his hair out again. Seol Sobaek shook his head. Although I felt very sad…
‘But compared to what happened there, it’s still a good thing.’
The real battlefield was separate.
“Isn’t there thirty-seven bases on base?”
“I guess there were thirty-eight?”
“Didn’t Hana close last month?”
“We opened two more this month.”
“⋯⋯I’m going to turn around.”
Namgung Dowi muttered with a face that looked as if he had been threshed. His sunken eyes gave an idea of the extreme suffering he was currently experiencing.
In fact, he was the head of the Namgung family and only studied martial arts without much interest in property. It was hectic to suddenly become the head of the family and take care of the Namgung family. Therefore, there was no way to know in detail how the family’s wealth was managed.
“Well… I’ll try to do something about this, but Sogaju…”
“No, uncle. This is also Sogaju’s mission. “It cannot be left out.”
“Then maybe you can help me.”
“yes?”
“Oh no. it’s nothing.”
As Namgung Dowi was looking at Namgung Myeong blankly, a sarcastic voice suddenly flew into his ear and caught him.
“ha ha ha. “It seems like the noble Namgung family has no idea how much their family’s wealth is.”
Namgung Dowi gritted his teeth and looked to the side. Lim So-byeong was waving his fan mischievously and smiling.
“Tsk tsk. Is it because the head of the house is so incompetent? No, so is it Sogaju? Haha, I guess they’ll give me a cow for the rest of my life.”
“This…”
A spark lit up in Nangong Daowi’s eyes.
“Ah, it looks like you have already figured out that Nokrim is a sect that makes its living through robbery? So, you’re snooping into someone else’s clan, right?”
“Hehe. What do you see me for? The wealth of green vegetables is known down to every single grain of millet! “I have already finished writing the ledger.”
“⋯⋯You’re amazing.”
I had a strong desire to be sarcastic, but I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut when I was told that it was all over.
Even at this hour, grain from seventy-two households spread across the world is being collected in Greenchae. It is impossible to understand such a large amount of assets in real time, no matter how great your abilities are.
“⋯⋯Isn’t this a scam?”
“ha ha ha. This is the behavior of a typical lover. That’s exactly what we laugh at because we don’t understand the extraordinaryness of others. “It’s because there is so little trust.”
“Ugh…”
“In my opinion, Sogaju, you need to work harder. Tsk tsk.”
At the time when Namgung Do-wi, who had lost his temper, was grinding his teeth, Tanggunak, who was passing by, suddenly said something.
“Nokrim has no choice but to be like that. “The guys guarding the green vegetables are all bandits and robbers, and if we don’t catch them, they’ll all disappear without a single grain of rice left.”
Lim So-byeong closed his mouth. I felt like a mute who had been fed honey. Nangung Dowi did not miss the opportunity and shook his head loudly.
“Ah, somehow. I understand now. “You’ve been through a lot.”
As Namgung Do-wi grinned, Lim So-byeong’s face suddenly distorted. This time the arrow went back to Amon Danga.
“Oh yeah? “Then, of course, the party families who trust each other so strongly have finished keeping the accounts, right?”
“I see.”
“Eh? already?”
Tang Gunak grinned.
“Weren’t all the properties in Sacheon burned or looted? “There isn’t much to write.”
“⋯⋯I’m sorry.”
“⋯⋯Cheer up.”
Lim So-byeong and Namgung Do-wi simultaneously bowed their heads with solemn faces. Tanggunak shook his head.
‘Still, I’m glad.’
Cheongmyeong ordered it to be insignificant, but in fact, this was a more sensitive issue than expected. It is not easy for any sect to disclose the details of its assets.
So, I thought that no matter how remote this place was and how much we trusted each other, they would still be aware of it and hide it to some extent. However, surprisingly, everyone is actively revealing the wealth of the clan.
The reason is probably faith…
“Haha? That’s all, Namgung? “It’s not as great as it sounds, right?”
“This is only 30% of our wealth!”
“We haven’t yet listed the assets of wild vegetables except green vegetables?”
“under! “Yes, it is a den of bandits, but there is only so much there is.”
“Is this person ignoring bandits now? Do you guys have that much money? I wasn’t going to reveal this, but we also have a business in Anhui, right? “This means that the best gambling house in Anhui is ours!”
“what? So the gambling house was yours? I thought it was a shaman! These crazy Sapa guys are opening a gambling house in the middle of Anhui? “Do you want to die?”
Uh…
⋯⋯Anyway, all you have to do is be honest.
Meanwhile, Hyeonyoung was also scolding Baeksang for keeping the ledgers. Cheongmyeong, who was watching the scene quietly, laughed.
It would be okay to take out a ledger after arriving at Hwaeum, but Elder Hyeonyoung was also very thorough in this regard. That’s why Cheongmyeong was able to do something like this.
“But you look free?”
“Me? “As you know, the Beast Palace doesn’t have much to call wealth.”
“But you made some money through the tea trade.”
“Do you think I will manage that?”
Meng Xiao’s muscles twitched. It was a bizarre yet wonderful sight no matter when I saw it. Cheongmyeong laughed awkwardly.
“I guess not.”
“yes. The subordinates will take care of it. And… Hmm, I don’t know. Even if I had wealth, I wonder if I could bring it here.”
“Grunt.”
Cheongmyeong let out a groan. Then he took a quick look at Meng Xiao’s complexion and spoke in an uncharacteristically cautious voice.
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“Beast Palace. “They went to Jeomchang.”
As Cheongmyeong, he had no choice but to be cautious. There is also Yasugung Palace at the edge of Yunnan, where the Sapaelians are flocking to. Because of the situation, everyone didn’t talk about it, but there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t even attack the Beast Palace.
“You’re worrying for nothing. “Didn’t you see it too?”
“Yes, but…”
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why Qingming did not actively move to help the Nanman Beast Palace.
“Behind the Beast Palace, there is a vast jungle. No matter how great they are, it’s difficult to track people in that jungle. “If you make up your mind to run away, you can run away.”
Cheongmyeong nodded slowly.
“But if it were that easy, we wouldn’t have had to worry when the demonic bastards attacked.”
“The situation is different.”
Meng Xiao shook his head.
“Because the Demonic Cult definitely planned to kill us and eliminate us. But aren’t the scammers different? There is no reason to break through that rough jungle just to kill those who don’t have enough strength. “I’m not as reckless as you.”
“⋯⋯Are you swearing at me just now?”
“Did it sound like that? Lol.”
Meng Xiao laughed in a loud voice and slapped Cheongmyeong on the back.
“Ahh!”
“uh?”
Meng Xiao clicked his tongue as he looked at Cheongmyeong, who had collapsed.
“Tsk tsk. It looks like your body has become very weak. “I barely stumbled like this.”
“⋯⋯Can you please consider your own strength?”
“I hit him gently.”
“…If I had hit hard, I would have met King Yeomra, right?”
Cheongmyeong stood up, muttering. Meng Xiao grinned.
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry. We archers aren’t that stupid. “If you wait there while watching the storehouse being attacked and burning, you have nothing to say even if you die.”
“You’re so cold.”
“That’s natural. “You’re worrying too much.”
Cheongmyeong sighed deeply.
“Thank you for at least saying that.”
“I’m not saying this to put your mind at ease. “After experiencing it myself, I realized that this loser is not an ordinary person.”
“⋯⋯.”
“If we don’t stop him now, the Beast Palace will eventually be trampled by them. “We can’t invite a bigger crisis just to avoid an immediate crisis.”
Cheongmyeong nodded. Meng Xiao is a man of many thoughts. If he says this, you can assume that there won’t be much damage to the Beast Palace.
“Anyway, I’m embarrassed that the situation has come to this. “I think the only people who can’t help with money are us and Haenam…”
“yes? Haenam?”
“hmm? Ah… Now that I think about it, I didn’t convey it properly.”
“It’s worth it. As soon as I joined, the head of the party started working. Haenam decided to come here?”
“That’s right.”
“Then why don’t you come right away?”
Meng Xiao smiled bitterly at those words.
“They said they were coming for Jang Mun-in’s funeral.”
“Ah…”
Cheongmyeong’s complexion darkened in an instant. It looks like that’s what happened in the end.
“When did you die?”
“He was a great person. “I held on until I crossed the Yangtze River.”
Cheongmyeong quietly nodded. The moment the disciples’ safety was secured, the thread they were barely holding on to seemed to have broken.
“I see.”
Cheongmyeong looked at the western sky. It’s not that we have a great relationship. However, the way he showed himself in the process of leaving Gangnam was not enough to show respect.
“Because the destination was unclear, they said they would build a temporary grave near the Yangtze River and hold a funeral for three days.”
“Gamyo?”
“It must be a promise to return to Haenam someday.”
A promise to return. Cheongmyeong repeated those words to himself and closed his eyes. It will happen. Just like they did.
Meng Xiao glanced down at Qingming and asked.
“Do you feel pressured?”
“It would be a lie if I said not…”
Cheongmyeong opened his eyes and smiled.
“well. I don’t know I still think listening to people comes first. “I’m not as great of a person as everyone thinks.”
Meng Xiao quietly stared at Qingming. It seemed like he was waiting for his next words.
“But now that it’s happened again, I think somewhere in my heart I’ve always wanted it to be like this.”
“It must have been frustrating.”
“no. “It’s not like that.”
“huh?”
“I have to pay you back.”
For a moment, Meng Xiao pursed his lips. A cold light flickered in Cheongmyeong’s eyes. Those cold eyes were fixed on the south.
Sichuan. This is where the defeated army’s Jang Il-so will be.
“There were many times when I thought I had to take someone down.”
“Hmm.”
“But this is the second time I feel like I have to kill someone at all costs.”
“⋯⋯What happened to the first one?”
“He died. No, I killed him.”
Meng Xiao frowned. This is something that I don’t understand at first glance. I can’t believe I killed him. But I decided not to ask any more questions. Because of the chill that came from Cheongmyeong, I didn’t even dare to ask back.
The image of a man appeared before Cheongmyeong’s eyes. The moment I thought of the bright red lips with a sneer on them, the corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth also twisted up.
“So you have to let them know. “What did he do?”
From Cheongmyeong’s waist, the dark plum sword spewed out a long sword name.
