Episode 305. A heart like the sea… Fuck! (2)
The painter made an absurd expression when he heard what had happened to Jojo.
“Oh, brother. You did something really inappropriate. How can you be indulged in wine and women served by a surrendered enemy general?”
“Keueueueugh, buy and sell!”
When the painter cleared the wound on his right arm from the arrow, Jojo gritted his teeth and frowned.
“We haven’t even started treatment yet, and we’re looking into it.”
When the fireman’s tone was cold, Jojo let out a dead voice.
“I don’t even know why I did it. It was like he was possessed by something.”
“It deserves it.”
The fireman did not rebuke any more.
Looking at Jojo now is like seeing his old self. The appearance of being angry at Gaecheon, who entered the medical school, which was nothing to see. Of course, Jojo is clearly different from himself at the time.
“Oh… I have no face to see you.”
“It’s hard to say that it’s your brother’s fault.”
But there’s not much difference. At such a young age, he held in his hands enough power that even this vast central plains emperor could be defeated. Who in the world could not be drunk with that power?
The painter looked at the wound and was troubled.
Will you scold or will you just let it be arrogant?
In the long run, the latter would be better. Anyway, Jojo is a person who will live here and fall apart. It is a flower that will be lost in history after living as a gangung. But on the other hand, seeing that kind of look made my heart cold on the other hand.
Still, how hard did he try to protect himself as his brother-in-law?
If he hadn’t been Jojo, he would have been beaten three or four times by his arrogance. Shouldn’t that debt be settled once and for all?
The painter gently bit his molars.
“Do you know that I have no face?”
“huh?”
“I asked if you knew that I had no face.”
“You are really… Adamada. why i don’t know To miss out on something important because you were possessed by a woman.”
“older brother.”
Jojo was startled by the fireman’s low words.
“Why are you doing that, Boo?”
“Your brother still hasn’t come to his senses.”
The fireman’s words were like sharp daggers.
“what?”
“Do you think your older brother is bewitched by a woman? Oh… that’s absurd. It’s not that there aren’t prettier girls in the imperial palace, and it’s not like there aren’t better girls than him… To think that a man named Mupyeonghu was attracted to cheap girls like that. As a younger brother, I am ashamed.”
Jojo’s expression slightly stiffened at the fireman’s words, and the eyes of the guards, soldiers, and generals around him showed a hint of anger.
“Boo, no matter how much I made a big mistake, be careful with your words.”
“why? Don’t you want to hear it?”
“…..”
“My older brother saved the emperor and transferred the capital to Heodo, and he behaved as if he became the emperor himself. That’s why you have a lot of flatterers around you, and you’re copying the way Dong Zhuo did in the past.”
“Stop blowing!”
“stop!”
The painter shouted after Jojo.
“Does the world seem easy enough after being sealed with a higher rank than your grandfather and becoming a monk? Do you think the whole world belongs to you because the emperor obeyed your brother? Do you think all the people are under your feet?”
“Boo!”
Jojo’s voice softened for a moment.
When Cao Cao opened his eyes, the spirits of Cao Cao’s subordinate generals around him became quite tense. The fireman looked around at them with wide-eyed eyes and then shouted louder.
“Boo! wealth! Boo!”
In an instant, Jojo’s spirits were broken.
“Am I your brother’s younger brother? Whether you become emperor or not is none of my business, but if I’m your brother, at least if you think you’re my brother, listen to me now. Or should I recite sweet words in your brother’s ears like the gisaengs Gafu gave me?”
“Boo!”
“why? don’t you want to hear it? But listen. Who in the world would say such a thing to my older brother?”
“…..”
The fireman looked not only at Jojo, but also at the others around him with unflinching eyes.
And he spoke.
“There must have been people who gave advice to my older brother before he fell for Gafu’s candy coating. But I wouldn’t have listened to it like I don’t want to hear it now. The result is this. The 150,000-strong army has been reduced to 30,000, and Joang, the eldest son, is wandering between death and death. If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t be able to make it past today, and Joang and the vanguard would have died. I don’t know what happened to my brother.”
As soon as the fireman finished speaking, a heavy air filled the hall.
Jojo didn’t have the same angry expression towards the painter as before.
“I was foolish.”
Suddenly, tears flowed from Jojo’s eyes.
When Cao Cao cried again, the attendant next to him held up a cotton cloth and tried to wipe away his tears.
“Yeah man! What are you doing?”
At that time, the painter stopped the servant’s actions in a cold voice.
“yes? I’m the tears of the winner…”
“You look like I’m an idiot right now. The guards there can’t tell when to intervene and when not to intervene. Take this bastard right away and beat him ten times!”
“yes!”
Two guardsmen rushed to the fireman’s shrill voice and took the attendant outside.
“And Soonwook. What are you doing?”
“yes yes?”
Next, Sun-wook, who saw the fireman’s cold gaze, was startled.
“What are you talking about?”
“Did you know or not that Joe was going the wrong way?”
Originally, Eosa Daebu and Sang Seo-ryeong were not classmates that could be talked about. However, Sun-wook was unable to say anything at the painter’s last words.
“Ah, I knew…”
Soon-wook couldn’t bear to say that he had said it over and over again. It was a word that put a disgrace on Jojo’s face.
“If it was really for Jo Hyung, I should have given advice even if it meant losing my neck. Is it advice to say a few words and then stop if it doesn’t work?”
“I’m sorry.”
“If something like this happens again in the future, I will personally slit the throats of all of you who saved your advice for the sake of your life.”
A dignity comparable to that of Jojo overflowed from the fireman’s body. Until now, he had been a doctor treating patients, but at this moment, he was a great empress who led tens of thousands of soldiers and ruled over a large land.
When the fireman’s gaze reached them, everyone bowed their heads.
The fireman looked over the ministers and then looked at Jojo again.
“Brother, do you think I have gone too far?”
“Oh no. You are right. I was very immoral and did not listen to the loyalists.”
“If I show you anything less than a younger brother, declare your disloyalty. I would also rather live as a stranger than to be able to give you a proper advice.”
“I was wrong. Stop being angry.”
“You must have fully understood my meaning, so I will treat you now. see.”
“Your master.”
“Bring the anesthetic.”
“yes.”
The dignity overflowing from the fireman’s body disappeared in an instant and he returned to the clinic caring for patients, but no one in the hall could even breathe loudly.
* * *
“Master, why did you do that?”
On the way back to the army doctor’s office after Jojo’s surgery, Oh Bo tilted his head toward the fireman and opened his mouth.
“what are you talking about?”
“Master and Mupyeonghu. Although they are bloody brothers, they are feudal lords of a large land. Looking at the situation, I think it would be better to just leave it alone… Isn’t it reminding me too much?”
The fireman stopped for a moment and looked around.
There were only himself, his disciples, and the guards.
It is unlikely that the conversation we are having now will reach the ears of the people of Jojo, so it must be that the misinformation brought up these words.
“Did it seem foolish that I brought hyung Cho and the ministers back to their senses?”
“It’s not like that, but I don’t think there was a need to do it.”
“As you said, it is not known what will happen to Joe and I in the future. But anyway, isn’t it your brother now? I don’t know if my older brother betrays me, but even if that’s not the case, how can I be called a brother if I can’t say what I need to say now thinking about the future that may happen?”
“But the servants of Wu Pyeonghu may be wary of Master.”
The dignity that the painter showed in a short moment was so great that even misinformation was concerned.
“Yes, it could be.”
The fireman stared at the sky in silence.
“What can I do? If I’m not going to disown him, I’ll still have to be careful not to get hurt by being my older brother, but as long as he’s my younger brother, I’ll do my best as a younger brother.”
As the painter smiled, Obo, Bun-ah, and Lee Dang-ji widened their eyes.
“I was thinking too little of Master’s great will. sorry.”
“I am small and barely try to embrace people, but you guys are my proud disciples. So shouldn’t we embrace the world in the future?”
“yes? Master already embraces the world.”
“I am trying to do that. Now go in and get some rest.”
“yes.”
After sending all of his students in, the painter remained alone and looked up at the night sky.
“As a teacher, I’m grateful for the students who try to look at me favorably. I said that because I thought it was worth doing!”
There was a belief that young Jojo would not be able to do anything in that situation anyway. Above all, it was necessary to show the greatest presence by Jojo’s side. A presence that would keep the other guys by his side from acting rashly.
Fortunately, that will came true.
I don’t know what will happen in the future…..

“Eosa Daebu and General Yeopo attacked the soldiers of the longevity and won a great victory, and now they are pursuing them who are fleeing.”
When Pabalma delivered the news of the battlefield, Jojo was in the middle of telling the fireman that his son, Joang, and his son, Joang, were likely to improve a lot overnight and live.
As the happy news came one after another, the worry that had been young was erased from Cao Cao’s face.
If the general’s army was on the run, there was no need to worry about being attacked.
“As expected, General Yeopo. Fortunately, I can relax for an hour.”
“That’s right. They were chasing them with such terrifying momentum that I was worried that they might be pushed back, but on the contrary, they won and are pursuing.
“Didn’t you just say that the two of you are likely to live now?”
“I said that, but still, there is a high chance that the wound will get worse if you are chased by a carriage. Then complications come and then it can be difficult to fix even for me.”
“I guess so.”
“Since you don’t have to move, you can just stay here until you get better.”
“How long will it take to be able to move in a wagon?”
“I can’t give you a definite answer because I haven’t woken up yet, but I’m so injured that I won’t be able to go to my side for at least five days.”
“Do I have to lie down for five days?”
“Even if you move by carriage after 5 days, you will still have to lie down for a while. I will later tell the city doctors how to treat disease according to symptoms.”
“It’s a long journey from here to Hedo…”
“Is it necessary to go to Hedo? It is said that General Yeopo has completely defeated Jangsu’s army, so if you capture Wanhwa, you can take it to Wanhwa and continue treatment at Uicheong.”
“You can do that. After Angi and the former general recover to the point where they can move, you can send them to Xuedo.”
The painter listened to Jojo and tilted his head.
“You talk as if your older brother won’t stop at perfection.”
“If Grand General Yeo Po can recapture it by completion, there is no reason for me to stay here. The movements of the northern elements are unusual, and the imperial palace cannot be left empty for long.”
“Still, Angi and I are generals… Wouldn’t it be better to wait a little longer and take it when it is somewhat better?”
“Whoa~. I made the excuse that I was an element, but in fact, how am I going to stay here? It’s a losing battle among defeats, so you have to take care of the minimum shame.”
“Brother, if you fight a war, you might lose.”
“If I had fought and lost, I could have done that. But it was purely because of my stupidity that I blew up over 100,000 troops. If my subordinate did that, he would have hit me right away, but since I can’t hit my own throat, I’m trying to take care of myself.”
When Jojo smiled wryly, the painter thought for a moment and then nodded.
“I understand how you feel, brother. Then, when Angi wakes up later, please stay by her side until she goes.”
“Yeah, I got it.”
“Master’s patient is about to wake up.”
At that time, Buna, who was looking after the patient, found the painter, and the faces of the painter and Jojo turned red.
“So who is trying to wake up?”
“This is General Joan.”
“I get it. It seems that my brother, Angi, is losing his mind. Let’s go in together.”
“Okay, let’s go in.”
As I entered the tent, I heard Joang’s weak moaning as he lay on the bed.
Joan was in pain for a while, and then opened his eyes with a frown.
“Come on sleep! Abida. Jaja, are you awake?”
Jaja was the name Joan was called when he was young.
“This voice… Ah, Father! My father is alive! It’s not just a dream, is it?”
“Can’t you see me?”
