Episode 283 I am not an easy man.
I cooked and ate a large piece of Baeknyeonhasuo.
It was eaten seasoned, dipped in seasoning sauce, boiled in soup, and consumed as a health food.
It didn’t suit my temperament to give a whole elixir to a young Yoran that he couldn’t handle, so it was as if a hundred years of waste came into the stomachs of Cha Seong-tae, Hong Samae, and Deuk-su, the four major evils. There was a lot of food, so for every meal over the course of three days, we consumed Baeknyeon Hasuo, which we picked up from under Manjang, as a side dish.
On the fourth day.
The sword demon, the demon demon, and the color demon stayed in their room since morning and did not move. They were probably having a fortune-telling breakfast.
In the end, Yoran, who was bored, played with me all afternoon and was caught by Sister Hong and taken away.
I never thought playing with a child would be this hard.
Yoran kept asking me questions about martial arts and terminology used in martial arts, so I didn’t really have time to rest.
It was a more difficult task than defeating Heukdo.
Just as I was sitting alone in front of Jaha’s guesthouse and taking a long-awaited break, an unfamiliar man walked up from the front and spoke.
“I have come to visit Lord Hao Wen.”
“It’s me.”
“Lord Moon, I am Yeomgeon Pyosa of Namyang Pyo-guk.”
This is my first time hearing the name Yeom Geon, but I have heard of the reputation of Namyangpyoguk.
“Thank you for your hard work coming here.”
Yeom Geon took out a letter from his pocket and spoke.
“I received an order to deliver the letter to Lord Hao Wen. I’m glad it was delivered safely like this. “Can I pass it on?”
“I would like you to open it and read it yourself.”
Yeom Geon looked troubled while holding a letter.
“Lord Moon, if you can confirm that I received the letter without any problem, I will open it and read it.”
“I, the person involved, received it without any problem.”
Yeom Geon spoke to me as he carefully opened the letter.
“For your information, the contents of the letter and Namyangpyo Bureau’s position are unrelated.”
“I know.”
Yeom Geon looked at the scroll, sighed briefly, and then read it.
“Hao Wenju’s claim for damages. You have committed crimes such as damaging and robbing goods traded in Heukhyang without any connection. The damage situation is as follows. Gu Clan Yakmun’s One Hundred Yin Yang Dan Swordsman Wijisan’s Sword The Life of the Three Tigers of Thousand Life Mixed Race Girl Other Miscellaneous Auction Items The lives of auction participants and even material damage to the auction site. In consideration of your past activities in Kangho, we hereby replace Heukhyang’s claim for damages with 1,000 common silver coins. The cost of the lives of non-passengers was not added to the amount charged. This is because it is the fault of the guest who lost even though he learned martial arts from me. However, Heukhyang must be accurately compensated for the damages. If the request is rejected, the plan is to allocate 1,000 hermits as a bounty for Hao Wen-ju, which will be a request cost that will be difficult for assassination groups to refuse. “The number one apostle in the East Lake.”
After Yeom Geon put the letter back, he looked at me.
“I read it all. There was no poison in the letter. “Can I pass it on to you now?”
“She’s a mixed-race girl… give it to me.”
Only then did Yeom Geon come closer and politely hold out a letter. He held the letter with the hand infused with the world of wood and placed it on the table.
“If you are not busy, please sit down for a moment. water?”
“yes.”
I poured him a glass of water from the kettle he was drinking. Yeom Geon, who was sitting across from me, gulped down the water in one go and put down the glass.
“If you’re the best apostle, you’re also the best swordsman in the group?”
“yes.”
“Do you have any other messages?”
“The person who requested it made a few noises.”
“let’s hear about it.”
“Based on my actions, I expected that there was a high probability that Master Moon would reject it.”
“Right.”
“…It is said that if you refuse, you will find out why leader Lim So-baek cannot come forward even though Sado Jeil-in is openly on the martial arts list.”
“You’re showing your confidence in a foolish way. Since he’s hiding, Lord Lim can’t help it. By the way, why did you use Namyangpyoguk instead of sending a subordinate?”
Yeom Geon responded like this.
“Maybe the messenger will be killed by Lord Mun… I guess he thought this. “That’s my prediction.”
“If 1,000 hermits cost 1,000 nyang, how much will the living body move?”
“All organizations hired by the club will move. Even if it is only paid to successful people anyway. In other words, it is highly likely that the followers of the First Apostle will also come.”
“Is Namyangpyoguk also under the influence of Sado Jeilin?”
“It’s not like that. Originally, public displays were prohibited, but this time, we had no choice because we were threatened. “For now, I plan to complete my mission and then report it to the Murim Alliance.”
“You handled it well.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“Do you know the reason why Yeom Pyo-sa has not been able to capture the Murim Alliance’s feat of being the best sword of the East Tiger?”
Yeom Geon nodded.
“yes. First of all, we do not know the residence of the First Apostle. Unlike the mainland, rivers and islands must be thoroughly searched, which is difficult with most troops. Also, there have been attempts by experts to assassinate the First Apostle to collect the bounty, but there has been no news since. Even if the Murim Alliance steps forward, it is not easy because a huge amount of money will be spent. Since Sado First Man dominates the entire East Lake, procuring ships is a problem. Moreover, it is known that the First Apostle himself is at a level where he is not afraid of Master Lim, so I understand that he is in a situation where he cannot do either this or that.”
“Ten great swordsmen?”
“That’s right. Even if you rank him by the sword, he is a man who definitely belongs in it. “He is also extremely rich.”
“I got into trouble after robbing an auction house. “Yeompyosa.”
“yes.”
“Even Ai was trading in Heukhyang. “I had no choice but to kill everyone who was there.”
“I see.”
“I didn’t know that Dongho First Sword did business outside of Dongho.”
“My guess is that it may have been done by students or executives to raise funds, but I don’t know the exact circumstances.”
“Does Pyosa Yeom have to bring my answer to complete the Pyohaeng?”
“That’s right.”
“Of course, you will be meeting with the client, right?”
“Anyway, I’m going back to Namyangpyoguk. “They will send someone over there again.”
I looked at Yeom Geon blankly and asked.
“Pyosa Yeom, do you think it would be better for me to hand over 1,000 nyang?”
“Want to know my personal thoughts? “I already know Master Moon’s answer.”
“What do you think?”
“Of course you don’t want to give it to me.”
“That’s right. But the reason is clear.”
“What is it?”
“Anyway, if I give you 1,000 nyang, I will give that money back to the assassination organization as a request fee. It’s already been taken, so there’s no need to give it away. I guess they’re trying to set an example. “Regardless of whether it is the Murim Alliance, the Murim Family, or the sect, I tell you to stop visiting Dongho from now on.”
“That might be possible.”
I nodded.
“…As you know, it’s a rejection. “Pyosa Yeom, please go and have a meal.”
“That’s right. After hearing Moonju’s answer in person, my heart feels heavy. “I can’t even think of food.”
Yan Geon stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
“Lord Moon, I will return now. If you are short on money, how about consulting with our office? Or, you can discuss it with the Murim Alliance.”
“Didn’t I tell you? If you give that money, it will go to the assassination group anyway. “That bastard would like to paint a picture of me dying with my money.”
Yeom Geon looked at me.
“I feel very uncomfortable not being able to help. Anyway, I will also go back to Pyoguk and discuss this matter.”
“Can I ask you one favor? “It’s a bit difficult.”
“yes. “I think I’ll feel at ease if I can help.”
“Because it’s not easy.”
“Say it anyway.”
Yeom Geon, who was serious the whole time, looked at me with eyes full of determination. I thought about it for a while and then entrusted Yeom Geon with a difficult task.
“…If a messenger from Dongho comes, please be sure to convey my words.”
“Yes, what should I say?”
“You idiot.”
“yes?”
“Hao Wenju, please speak the words to the First Apostle. Please just tell me briefly that you called him an asshole. “I’m a little sorry because this is a difficult request.”
Yeom Geon looked at me with his mouth slightly open and then answered.
“Oh, I understand. “Can I just say that?”
“Yes, I would be grateful if you did.”
“Yes, I will pass it on. “It’s an appropriate expression because he’s such an asshole.”
Yeom Geon took power over me.
“Then, Moonju. Good luck.”
“Please return safely to Master Yeom.”
Yeom Geon turned around, walked a few steps, then opened his eyes and soon disappeared. As Yeom Geon left, the windows of Jaha’s guest room opened one after another. When I turned around, the demon and the demon who had been listening to the story in the room were showing their faces.
I looked at the two people and said to the demon.
“What you looking at? “You idiot.”
While the color demon was sighing, the demon demon asked.
“So when are you leaving?”
“What and when do we leave? Have a lucky breakfast. “Let’s think about what to do.”
“How much do you understand the intention?”
“I don’t think the First Sword of the Apostles is the kind of guy who would go outside of the East Lake. Even if I send it away, it will only bother me. I think he’s planning on dragging me out by continuing to bother me. It would be impossible to kill me with a water dropper. “I think he’s going to end up putting me in a club…”
Saekma said.
“Shouldn’t we unite with the Murim Alliance?”
“I don’t know.”
Dongho First Sword is a feat that has never been caught, whether in his past life or his current life.
Even while the Demonic Cult was rampaging, he lived well, just like the Oh Dynasty that stayed in the Dong-o region and defended itself. He was a man that no one could easily attack because it was like touching a beehive.
“I killed one person and there is no end to it.”
But this is a powerhouse.
The demon said.
“Let me know when you’re done worrying.”
“okay.”
I stared at the sky in front of Jaha Guest Cup until the sun set.
I understand most of the contents of the manuscript. This is because it is common in Gangho to ask for money like this. However, the thought that it included the price of a mixed-race girl stuck in my head, and it was not easy to suppress my anger every time I thought of that short phrase.
As I was staring helplessly at the sky that was slowly turning purple, Cha Seong-tae slowly walked over and spoke to me.
“Lord Moon, why are you so angry? “What’s going on?”
“Seongtae.”
“yes.”
“How much money is left in Maehwaru?”
“There is a huge amount left. “I didn’t spend anything other than the construction fee for Jaha Gaekjan.”
“Spend some money.”
“yes.”
“There is no need to specify the date, just post the following information in rooms all over Gangho.”
“Please speak.”
“I found out that Dongho Jeil Sword Sado Jeilin is a person who trades even young girls at the auction house and is a supporter of Heukhyang.”
“yes.”
“So Hao Wenju will go to Donghu and engage in a one-on-one battle with Donghu First Sword.”
“What is the date and time?”
“I don’t know about that. There is no need to write it down intentionally. It’s just that sooner or later… Hao Wenju will personally visit Donghu and have a one-on-one match with the First Apostle. The reason is everything I mentioned earlier. I understand?”
“yes. understand. But, um, if we do this, will Moonju and Dongho Jeilgeom fight one-on-one? I’m curious as to what your intention is with this. “Isn’t that person acting like a mysterious person who has never appeared in the forefront?”
I looked at Cha Seong-tae.
“I don’t really have any intention. You don’t have to fight one-on-one. But we need to let the world know why we fight. The overall plan is to downgrade the incident to an asshole being scolded by me for doing an asshole thing. Proceed as if you were sending a letter to the entire Gangho. First, spread the word to those who know me, and then those who know me pass it on to those who don’t know me. “Read it.”
When I pointed to the letter with my chin, Cha Seong-tae quickly read it. Now Cha Seong-tae’s expression has become grim.
“So this idiot mentioned Yoran.”
“….”
“Instead of repenting my sin. All right. First, I will inform all the bases such as the Black Cat Room and the Nammyeonghoe of the Black Seonbo and tell them to spread the word to the heads of those places. Since this is Lord Moon’s order, it will be much faster than if I proceed alone.”
I nodded.
“Let’s see who dies when we get to the end. In the meantime, I hope all the people who want to kill me come rushing in. “Drop them all into the East Lake and have them drowned.”
Seongtae Cha nodded and sighed slightly.
“All right. Calm down your anger. Flower bottles are also sold. “Your complexion is the color of a sunset.”
“Is my face the color of the sunset now?”
“yes.”
I looked at the sky.
“It must be because the sunset is spreading. “Why is a person’s face the color of a sunset?”
Cha Seong-tae also turned his head and looked up at the sky.
“is it?”
At this time, a window opened again and the Sword Demon showed his face.
“When does Munju leave?”
I asked while looking at the Sword Demon.
“Eldest brother, when will the fortune-telling breakfast end?”
The Sword Demon answered.
“If you’re going to prepare, about three days.”
I nodded.
“Then let’s go then.”
“I get it.”
The Sword Demon closed the window again with an expressionless face. Jang Deuk-su’s voice was heard from inside.
“Everyone, have dinner. “Commissioner Cha also comes in.”
Seongtae Cha answered on my behalf.
“…I’m going in.”
I watched the exceptionally beautiful sunset today until it disappeared safely.
I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but it didn’t matter because we weren’t easy guys anyway.
Cha Seong-tae, who took the letter, said to me.
“Let’s eat first and then get angry. “Relax your expression. Yoran will act like he’s eating.”
I nodded.
“…Let’s eat.”
