Episode 149. Romance is an extravagant emotion
.
Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon, who was leisurely sitting on the veranda, suddenly raised her head.
“Didn’t you find it?”
“I just came because it looked like I was resting by the riverside.”
“okay? Well, sometimes you just need some alone time. Good job.”
Namgungcheon thought that his younger brother had just come because he was considerate of his younger brother.
Namgung-yeon, who was about to take off her shoes and enter the room, stopped.
“Brother.”
“huh?”
“Why didn’t your brother get married?”
For a moment, Namgungcheon’s shoulders flinched.
It was the first private question I heard from my reticent younger sister.
“Why? Of course, it was because there was no girl I liked.”
“ah.”
Namgoongyeon nodded lightly and entered the room.
Namgungcheon continued to nag as if he wanted to hear it.
“Yuna, if you find a guy you like, grab it. I’m young and young, but I’m only getting older like me. Time waits for no man The day I went to Wudang Mountain with my parents seems like yesterday, but I’m already 32.”
It was sincere.
He stopped by Waryongjang with his family when he was 18 years old. Fourteen years passed in the blink of an eye. It was an embarrassing age to mention the nickname Cheongwoon Sword.
The driver of the coachman prepared a simple breakfast.
Everyone was in a mood to fill it with dryness, but it didn’t suit their taste, so they cooked rice.
The only side dishes were grilled fish and greens, but everyone ate them like crazy.
Soft rice and fragrant fish were much better than hard dry rice.
What was it like to just eat without saying anything?
Yoo Geun-sik, who was persistently removing the flesh from the bones, suddenly asked.
“I didn’t see you this morning, where did you go?”
“Ah, I learned to play the water swallow from Confucius Yeonmi at the riverside.”
“Tsk! If you’re going to learn, you should have learned martial arts. what is the cost of water where do you write If the thieves attack in droves, why not throw a stone?”
“Chi. The death penalty is unacceptable because it does not know romance.”
“In the yard where lives come and go, what kind of romance freezes to death. Isn’t that right, Sojeo Namgung?”
Yoo Geun-sik quietly spoke to Namgoong-yeon.
Of course, this is an extension of the joke.
However, Namgoongyeon, who was eating quietly, replied with a firm face.
“Lee Mae-hwa, an anoxic animal, is an intelligent and tenacious woman, so she will not back down like this. I would like to tell you to think about living before romance.”
Not only his words, but his expression was like ice.
Jinseolha, who was downcast, said in a crawling voice.
“sorry. I just said it, I didn’t really think so.”
“Isn’t it? I knew that too. Just because I said something wrong Hum. hum.”
Yoo Geun-sik put down his chopsticks with a puzzled face.
It felt hollow inside, like a bony fish.
“haha! Jin Sojeo Yu Sohyeop It’s okay. Our kite is always serious because it’s Tal. The more precarious a person is, the more he must not lose his composure. isn’t it? Shim Noh-bae?”
When the atmosphere subsided, Namgungcheon drew in a heartache.
And the old fox heart pain did not betray his expectations.
“That’s right. Our Confucius also always taught me that. I tell you to leave a piece of your heart behind in any situation.”
“oh! indeed! In order to enter the stage of ascension, respect (存心) is essential. It is a great teaching.”
However, Namgoongyeon immediately refuted.
“The leisure to talk about romance and respect in swordsmanship are two different stories. If respect is the word a swordsman uses when walking on a blade, romance is a luxurious feeling sought by leisurely people.”
“….”
Namgung-chun also shut his mouth at her logical words.
It seemed that he tried to soften the atmosphere a little, but only exposed his stupidity.
Meanwhile, Jin Seol-ha blushed at Nam Gung-yeon’s words.
It’s because the word idle people sounded like a reference to themselves.
In fact, he and his brother-in-law didn’t do anything during this tour of the living.
No, on the contrary, it would be fortunate if he did not hold on to the younger enemy’s ankles.
In front of the twelve horsemen, he was protected by Namgungyeon and Simtong several times.
I was looking for romance on such a topic, so I wanted to go into it if there was a mouse hole.
It’s been about three months since we met at Jeongju Jeilru.
During that time, I felt that we had grown quite close, but it feels like we went back to the day we first met.
***
Around Missy (1-3pm).
It was when the boat with Yeon Jeok-ha and his party slowly passed Madangjin.
The captain cautiously approached the Yeon Jeok-ha group, who were leisurely gazing at the scenery.
“Come on warriors.”
His face had something he wanted to say, but he couldn’t say it right away and hesitated.
From some time ago, Geun-sik Yoo, who was in charge of handling complicated tasks, approached him.
“What’s going on?”
The captain pointed to an island in the middle of the river in the distance.
“The island is called Wanboju. Numerous pirates appear from time to time there. I usually pass by paying the toll, but this time I don’t know what to do.”
In a word, it means that you will protect the ship from the pirates.
Namgungcheon showed interest in the word number.
“What is the size of the enemies?”
“About 10 bandits go around on a boat and do it.”
“Tsk! If that’s enough, I couldn’t even put my name on Green Forest. Is that correct?”
“Yes, the water of the green forest you mentioned will come out after one more day. Complementary numbers aren’t quite there yet. Even so, they are like the grim reaper to us.”
“Are they cruel to passers-by?”
“That’s okay. They are very wicked people. The toll is basic, and there have been many cases where property has been stolen or women have been dragged away.”
Namgungcheon frowned.
If it was that bad, go away from the sink of the green forest.
“I see what you mean. Don’t worry and act normally. If any bandits appear, we will take care of them.”
“Ouch! All right. thank you.”
The captain’s face brightened at once.
So far, money has been taken regularly, once every four or three days.
However, it feels like sitting down and earning money when the Murim people, who are like heavenly gods, come forward and give it to me.
Maybe it’s been about a meal (about 30 minutes)?
As the boat passed the wanboju, a boat hidden in the shadow of the island approached quickly.
These were the pirates the captain said.
When the bandit’s boat obliquely blocked the front, the captain hurriedly stopped the boat.
The two boats facing each other swayed lightly in the waves.
Although he looked like he had encountered a bandit, Jinseol looked around with a comfortable face.
The water surface glistened in the midday sun, scattering the light.
If it were not for the number of compromising points, it could be said that it was quite an interesting sight.
‘ah! Feel so good.’
For a moment, Jinseolha, who was about to say something without even realizing it, let out a sigh with a depressed face. Namgung-yeon noticed something in the morning.
She inadvertently peeked at Namgoongyeon’s face.
Namgungyeon still had a layer of thin ice on her face.
‘ha! I’m not learning how to swallow water. Like brother-in-law Yoo said, he’ll ask you to watch martial arts…’
Jin Seol-ha thought it was because he was doing something idle.
Yin-Yang Confucius Yang Jin-ho, who boarded the other ship to plunder, quickly looked at the passengers first.
It was because I was unlucky enough to wonder if there were any Murim people among them.
‘omg! They are Murim people!’
Yang Jin-ho’s face stiffened when he belatedly discovered Yeon Jeok-ha’s group.
There are days like this when you are plundering.
I checked and attacked it, but it seemed that it was not visible because it was covered by people or luggage.
The opponent’s number is seven.
Looking at the calm and weak face with the bright eyes, it is not an empty talker.
Yang Jin-ho quickly turned around and threw himself into his boat.
“Go back!”
It was before the four opponents could react to his sudden action.
Namgungcheon and Seol Chasu’s party attacked the bandits like a shelter.
The four opponents, who were acting like kings, were punched in the face and rolled around.
Yang Jin-ho heard the screams of his subordinates, but did not stop.
Rather, I knew how strong the opponent was, so I thought to avoid it unconditionally.
Yang Jin-ho jumped into his boat and shouted like a madman.
“Go! hurry!”
Even if it wasn’t, the five bandits who were watching frantically pointed their fingers.
It was when Yang Jin-ho’s boat opened a distance of about 3 meters.
Namgungcheon seemed to rise softly, but soon it fell in front of Yangjinho.
Yang Jin-ho, in awe, pulled out his sword and shouted.
“who are you! We haven’t done anything to you yet!”
“Are you that vicious nemesis that you’re on a pedestal?”
“no. We just ran out of water and food while passing by.”
“gibberish! Attach the boat.”
Following Namgungcheon’s instructions, the bandits all looked at Yang Jinho.
In a situation where only one person has crossed over, it is asking if we should follow that word.
Yang Jin-ho chewed his lips and looked at the man in front of him again.
In the meantime, the distance of the double gradually increased and now reached this length (about 6 meters).
At this distance, it is difficult for even a good master to cross.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to deal with one of those guys here?’
Whether it be porridge or rice, that is the right thing to do.
No one would crawl back in knowing that it was a tiger’s den.
‘Only after I’m not an idiot.’
Yang Jin-ho, who made up his mind, rushed at Namgung-cheon with the command “Attack!”
As if waiting, the other bandits also drew their swords and rushed at Namgungcheon.
Cha-cha-cha-window.
The blades crossed several times, making an eerie sound.
Although surrounded by five bandits, Namgungcheon was overflowing with composure.
Fourteen years ago, he was already an excellent swordsman to the point of being called the Blue Cloud Sword.
Not to mention, he met Yeonjeokha and broke his own wall several times.
Compared to the Twelve Horses, he looks weak, but it is no exaggeration to say that he is already a master at his peak.
As he swung his sword lightly, blood splattered from the shoulders of the three bandits.
Swords fell from the hands of bandits whose shoulders were pierced.
Only then did one of the bandits, realizing the opponent’s inaction, secretly lowered the point of his sword and took a step back.
Namgungcheon asked while staring at Yang Jinho, who was still holding the sword.
“Will you do more? Or will you attach the boat?”
Yang Jin-ho stood in front of Bak-do and begged.
“Great deal. This is what I said to live on because my throat was grape juice. I haven’t done anything to you, so can’t I just let it go?”
“If you guys had only taken the money all this time, it might have been. But I can’t do that as long as I know that he dragged the women. I just had to make a living.”
“Are you going to kill us?”
“no. I will hand it over to the government department at the next port.”
“When we go to the government office, we die. I will give you all the riches I have gathered. Please close your eyes just once.”
“Have you ever looked after people who asked you to see them?”
“…”
Yang Jin-ho, who was standing there devastated, threw down his sword with a face of despair.
The thief, who had stepped back and watched, also dropped his knife to the floor.
“Attach the boat.”
Soon after, Yang Jin-ho pointed to the side of Namgung-cheon.
for a long pole lay at his feet.
When Namgungcheon stepped aside, Jinho Yang bent down and stretched out his hand.
At that time, the heartache that had been watching from afar shouted like a thunderbolt.
“Memorize! Avoid!”
