560 times. Do I look like someone to vent my anger on?
The drinking party, which started casually, was over almost midnight.
Shin-yeon, who had drunk so much, staggered once as she got up from her seat.
But he didn’t even ask if he was okay, let alone catch him.
Shin-yeon lightly slipped under the kite as if she were desperate, and then went out to the floor.
Then, as if they had been waiting, four escorts appeared from the opposite room.
Two of them were women, and they supported Shin-yeon from the left and right.
Shin-yeon left Hyeoncheonmun under the watertight protection of male and female escorts.
Yeon Jeok-ha muttered as he watched Shin-yeon and the others walk away.
“Seeing that they even have personal escorts, they look really good.”
“If my grandfather was a Panseo (判書), he would be one of the best families in Chaoyang Province.”
“What is a billboard?”
He completely stopped talking to So Chun-wu, who had a romantic relationship.
Even if it wasn’t, it was annoying, but it’s because I was completely blinded by Gong Ji-yu’s work today.
“The head of the six ancestors who govern Suyakju is called Panseo. As it is a position to assist the lord of the castle, it is also called as the foster assistant by the people.”
Seeing that he is even praised as a star, it seems that he has great prestige.
Leaving behind So Chun-wu, who had a romantic relationship, he walked to the guest house of Hui-jeok.
In front of the inn, they stopped standing tall.
‘But why did she come to see me?’
There was an uproar over So Chun-wu’s reckless remark, but there was still time to talk after that.
However, Shin-yeon did not even open her mouth about the story related to Goo Hoe-il.
She just left after telling her story as if lamenting her situation.
After thinking about it for a while, I moved to the guest house where I had to stop.
It didn’t matter anyway, since he wouldn’t go to the government office anyway.
***
Hyeoncheonmun is said to be great in Sanyin County, but the number of disciples is not large.
Within a day, the things that happened at the drinking party with Shin-yeon spread through the quarrels.
But human psychology is strange.
Men as well as women criticized Gong Ji-yu.
He said that he should have given up participating in ‘Biseunggwahae’ himself, but it happened because he was greedy.
Rumors circulated around and eventually reached the ears of Gong Ji-yu and Gong Ji-seop.
Alumni.
Gong Ji-seop followed Yeonjeok-ha as he returned to the tent after lunch.
“The kite grand bargain.”
“yes?”
“Can I have a moment to talk?”
“Yes, what is it?”
Gong Ji-seop took Yeon Jeok-ha to a teahouse near the east gate.
It was midwinter, so the teahouse was empty.
The two sat facing each other in a window seat with a good view of the street.
After a while, the refreshments we ordered came out.
Gong Ji-seop cautiously opened his mouth while pouring boiling water into a teacup under the lid.
“Last night, I heard that an official from my brother-in-law came to see the grand agreement.”
“It was. why? Have you committed any crimes?”
He thought Gong Ji-seop, whom he had a relationship with, had come to visit him on behalf of his brother-in-law.
“Not like that. Friends said so. Daehyeop Yeon said on the spot that he rebuked Lord Somun.”
“Ah….”
The serial killer secretly examined Gong Ji-seop’s complexion.
However, it was difficult to know how he was feeling just by looking at his calm face.
“Thank you for taking my brother’s side yesterday.”
“you’re welcome.”
“Yeon Daehyeop, do you think my brother will be able to pass the ‘Biseungwahae’?”
“yes?”
“I want to hear your honest words about that part. Because the eyes of the Yeondaehyeop will be the most accurate.”
“Why?”
I couldn’t understand why Gong Ji-seop was curious about that.
Moreover, he is not even a disciple of So-yojong, so how does he know that?
Gong Ji-seop said with a confused face.
“Among those from the Munpa in Saneum-hyeon, there is no one who has gone through the ‘non-seung-gwa-hae’ so far. As I said before, I also challenged ‘Biseungwahae’. But I only checked the insurmountable wall and came back.”
He nodded his head in suspense.
‘Biseungwahae’ means ‘to fly up into the sky and cross the sea’.
It’s such a test, can’t it be easy?
From the standpoint of a sect that has lived for thousands of years, there is nothing urgent, so I won’t choose just anyone.
As such, the barriers to entry are bound to be high.
“As you know, next spring is my brother’s turn. Nine out of ten you’ll never get through. It’s because the equipment that is better than my brother has also fallen.”
‘huh?’
Yeonjeokha tilted her head.
For some reason, the story seemed to go in a slightly strange direction.
“So Munju is a good person, but he is narrow-minded and has a very long back. I will resent my brother for a long time if he returns without passing the ‘Viking Passage’. Because of you, I was insulted by the Daehyeop that I opened.”
“Are you saying you want Sojeo Gong to give up?”
“I hope Jiyu will not suffer when she returns to her hometown. If Yeondaehyeop says it will be difficult, I will dissuade you. Don’t get scolded for nothing, just give it to someone else.”
“Captain Gong.”
“yes.”
“I am also a person who applies for ‘Biseungwahae’. They don’t know the standards, and they don’t know what they want. How can I determine whether such a thing is possible or not?”
“But isn’t there such a thing as discernment? I think you will see something different from us if you do nothing at the level of Yeondaehyeop. Isn’t it?”
I didn’t say Katabuta, who is a rivalry.
As he said, it was true that a person’s ability was visible to some extent.
But that’s not all.
First of all, he doesn’t know what kind of person he wants in the sect.
What do you mean, a person who is not a disciple of a sect says ‘yes or no’ because he knows something?
“I understand what Captain Gong said, but to be honest, I’m not confident either. I don’t know if I’m the person I want in Soyojong or not. But one thing is for sure. That everyone has a different use case. If Gong So-jeo wants someone from So-yo-jong, he will be chosen. If not, it will fall. No one will know until Gong So-jeo climbs the fire umbrella himself.”
“It will fall.”
It was amazing to connect for a moment.
It seems that the words he has said so far have been spilled over his ears.
If that’s not the case, I’ve already decided on the answer and came back.
“If you think so, why are you asking my opinion?”
“If the Yeondaehyeop said it was likely to pass, I tried to change my mind to send it.”
“Since I said I don’t know, are you going to oppose Gong Sojeo’s participation in ‘Biseungwahae’?”
“yes. I will tell you to fix your mind. If you persist, I will break your leg to stop you from going.”
“What about letters of recommendation? That’s what caused the uproar.”
“If you don’t let me go, you don’t have to curse at me saying, ‘I was greedy, but I failed.’”
Yeonjeokha did not refute.
It’s a bizarre logic, but I could see how much he cared for his brother.
“Captain Gong.”
“yes.”
“You have to go to the end so there are no regrets or lingering feelings left. How about getting pointed at from behind? I haven’t seen anyone who wasn’t selfish for the people of the Savior. Can’t Sojeo Gong be greedy for himself? Why are you telling Sojeo Gong to give up the opportunity given to him?”
“I don’t want to see him suffer for the rest of his life because of it.”
“Do you think it won’t hurt to prevent Captain Gong from going? You know what? The wounds inflicted by family are deeper and more painful than the wounds inflicted by others.”
“…”
At that, Gong Ji-seop couldn’t say no.
Gong Ji-seop, who was silently looking down at the teacup, muttered as if talking to himself.
“I really hate it when the names of Jeok An Geum Jeo and my younger brother are mentioned together. But when people talk about it again, I think it will turn around.”
“But don’t take out your anger on Sojeo Gong.”
“Do I look like someone to vent my anger on?”
“They said that if Sojeo Gong insisted on going, he would break his leg and prevent him from going.”
“As I said…”
“No matter what excuse you make, it only seems to me to be anger. Why do you want to break Gong Sojeo’s legs when the people from Xuan Tianmen are slapped on the cheek?”
“As I said, even if I get criticized…”
“Will you ruin my life because you care about other people’s eyes?”
“I didn’t mean that.”
“Then what do you call breaking your leg and crushing your lifelong dreams? Did you break it?”
“…”
Gong Ji-sub’s head dropped.
Seeing him like that, Yeonjeokha said coldly.
“Captain Gong, don’t mistake worrying and venting your anger. If I’m worried about Gong So-jeo, I’ll accompany him to Bull U-San. In any case, if the gong-so-jeo fails, he comforts me. Trying to stop him from going and break his leg is just a resentment. It’s bubbling inside, but since there’s no place to release it, it’s pouring it out to an easy-going younger brother. When you’re angry, fight those who point at you from behind. Don’t use worry as an excuse to harass the ball.”
Gong Ji-seop, who had failed to control his emotions while talking, was roughly beaten.
When he got angry, Gong Ji-seop did not dare to keep his mouth shut.
The wheezing couple inhaled the lukewarm tea in one breath.
The fire is so thick that it feels like your mouth is drying up.
There are people like that everywhere.
The Mojiri release their anger accumulated outside to their families.
They excrete the emotions accumulated inside them and package them as ‘acts done for the other person’.
‘Tsk tsk!’
It’s when Yeonjeokha is kicking his tongue inside.
The owner of the tea shop, who was standing at the cash register, sprinted to the window and spoke to himself.
“oh? Is there a beacon going up from the north gate? That’s where Gapjabang (甲子坊) is located…”
The main cities of Kuju are all surrounded by walls.
Not to prepare for war, but to protect the lives and property of the inhabitants from wild beasts.
A wall was also built in the center of Saneum-hyeon, where the prefectural office is located.
The distance between the east gate and the north gate is approximately Ori (about 2 km).
Officers and soldiers used beacon fires to compete for chongak because they were faster than human steps.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-seop, who were sitting awkwardly, turned their heads out the window.
It was not, but red smoke was rising. It means that beasts of the same level or higher appear and cause severe human casualties.
Gong Ji-seop, who had experience, spoke cautiously.
“Yeondaehyeop seems to have to go to the north gate to support.”
“all right. I will go and tell Captain Kang that too.”
“yes.”
Yeonjeokha ran outside first.
Gong Ji-seop let out a long sigh of relief when he disappeared like the wind.
Gong Ji-sub got up from his seat and walked to the cashier to pay.
Hurrying back to her seat, the woman in her thirties waved her hand and said,
“Are you an alumni vigilante? Today, I will just treat you.”
Gong Ji-seop put the money back and bowed silently.
When walking around in the winter, people often recognize them and give them away for free.
Especially when the invasion of the beast happened like now.
The vigilantes are protecting their lives and property, so it’s in return.
As Gong Ji-seop pushed through the teahouse door, he heard the owner’s clear voice.
“Please drop by often.”
Gong Ji-seop thought that the mistress’s voice matched her face very well.
Soon after, he went out into the street and suddenly felt a chilling chill, so he adjusted his collar.
Just then, a wolf howled came from the north gate.
Aww-.
Aww-.
Aww-.
Seeing that they are responding here and there, it is not just one or two.
It is difficult for the officers and vigilantes to handle even one bird, but to come in droves like that!
If it was like before, dozens of people would have been taken over.
like a notice.
Gong Ji-seop, who was standing with his teeth clenched in anger and remorse, hurriedly ran to the alumni gate.
