Episode 277
Kwon Moo-jin woke up early in the morning and devoted himself to training, sweating. As soon as the three-hour training period ends, his daily routine begins.
I briefly washed my body, got dressed,
and came out.
Finally, I continue to stand in Honam Danga endlessly.
“Kkeum…”
There was Majang River next to him, and although they were nominally in charge of guarding the manor, they didn’t do anything in particular.
Not even a thief could come into this manor.
Even the assassins don’t dare come in.
There are no people who pose a threat.
Next to Dansomi, who needs to be protected the most, are two fearsome beasts. The strength of Dan Woo-hyeon, who can be said to be the center and focal point of the family, was beyond imagination.
In addition, the seniors also had skills that would be surprising if they were second in the midfield.
Therefore, this Honam Danga had escorts and guards, but they were useless.
Not even many people came to visit due to its presence becoming as thin as the air recently. Most of the time, when there was chores to do, they went to Jang Sam-tae first.
Since he was quick and had a hand in household chores, it was easier to find Jang Sam-tae rather than entrusting the work to these two people.
However, doing chores did not suit my personality, so I had to sit around and do nothing other than training.
“It’s boring….”
“I see.”
Ma Jang-gang and Kwon Moo-jin sat in front of Dong-ho Dong-ho and muttered. In their hands were different bottles of alcohol, one of the two types of medical techniques Hoyeonji had created.
The only thing here was the training time and amount of alcohol.
‘I didn’t want this, but Kwon Moo-jin looked at Dong-ho Dong-ho with a blank expression. Surrender yourself to a battlefield full of intense fighting and bloodshed and take a step toward becoming stronger.
That was Kwon Moo-jin’s goal. But now…
‘It’s no different from the Parakho.’
It would have been nice if something had happened.
Now that the manor repairs have already been completed, I have more free time.
After finishing their appetite, the two people took a long breath.
“Maybe they won’t even know if we’re gone.”
“Don’t say that. “It won’t be that much.”
In response to Majang Gang’s sighing words, Kwon Moo-jin shook his head in denial. Still, if a person disappears, you will notice.
No matter how non-existent it is.
The two people looked at each other and were silent.
‘That couldn’t have been possible. Then I heard footsteps behind me.
Kwon Moo-jin, who was sighing, glanced at the place and saw a familiar person slowly approaching and smiling brightly.
“What are you doing in a place like that?”
“Daein Hong…?”
“Haha, it’s been a while.”
The person who came was none other than Hong Won-chang.
His bushy beard, matted hair, and the marks visible across his face were clearly presumed to have been inflicted on him by his wife in some past incident.
Kwon Moo-jin and Ma Jang-gang felt somewhat sorry.
“Are you okay?”
“Haha, it’s me… Well… I’m not okay, but…”
Hong Won-chang turned his head with a dead expression.
It’s already been a few days and the scratching hasn’t stopped. Let alone using each room, I couldn’t even access it.
Heung Won-chang felt like he was going crazy because they didn’t even provide him with a proper meal.
“Still, I did it, so what can I do?”
“Ha ha ha….”
The two sighed as they looked at Hong Won-chang, whose eyes were like those of a dead fish.
“By the way, why did you come here? “Maybe my lord…?”
“That’s right. “We should go inside first and talk.”
Hong Won-chang hurriedly led the two people and entered the house.
* * *
Hong Won-chang took a breath, sweating profusely in front of Dan Woo-hyeon.
Even though I actually talked to him, I didn’t know how he would receive it.
Although I understood Dan Woo-hyeon’s personality to some extent, if I was offended, I could have ended up in a bad situation.
There is another reason why Hong Won-chang was discouraged.
This means that people from all three families are gathered together. To the right of Danwoohyeon is Namgungcheon, and to the left is Sadohak, as well as Zhuge Un and Namgung Sohye.
Because their eyes were focused on me at once, I had to be careful about what I said.
“Imperial Forest Competition?”
“Eh… yes…”
Hong Won-chang wiped away the cold sweat and swallowed dry saliva.
The Imperial Forestry Competition was held almost every year.
Most of them were held in places close to Beijing or in Beijing, where the Emperor can easily move around, but for some reason, Honam was chosen this time.
“You mean in Honam?”
“Yes, it’s a business in Hunan, but…”
“Isn’t it usually done in Beijing?”
“Oh, that’s it…”
Hong Won-chang glanced at Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak.
Then he swallowed dry saliva in one gulp and carefully opened his mouth.
“Actually, this competition is hosted directly by King Yeongchin… Most of those participating are experts from the Geumwangya faction…” “
King Geum?”
“Yes, he is the one who rules Hubei. But my relationship with King Yeongchin is not good…”
Heung Won-chang made an awkward expression.
The relationship between the two has deteriorated rapidly in recent years.
Also, King Yeongchin has never won the annual imperial martial arts competition.
That’s why he wants to ask Hong Won-chang for a favor and send the Gunja Sword and Macheon Sword, whom he is close friends with, to the competition.
Nangong Cheon shook his head and looked somewhat uncomfortable.
“Nobu won’t go out.”
“to?!”
“Hehe, what would you do by going out to a place like that, where it’s like child’s play?”
Hong Won-chang broke into a cold sweat when he heard that it was a child’s joke.
Actually, it wasn’t wrong.
Namgung-cheon and Sado-hak were already among the strongest players in the circle, so it was as if they had already won.
Fighting with people who didn’t even have a chance was like hurting their pride.
“So… it’s long, right?”
Sadohak looked at Nangong Cheon with a puzzled expression.
Watching him nod his head, he also slammed his palm down on the table.
“Right! “What fun would this apostolic science have in mixing hands with children?”
He turned his gaze here and there and asked again.
Looking at it, Zhuge Yan frowned.
At first, it seemed like he had full intentions of competing. I shook my head, realizing once again that Apostolate is secretly simple.
“But it is directly organized by the king, and if you win, you will receive considerable wealth, fame, and…”
“Well, it is an obvious fight that two people should go out to.”
Even Dan Woo-hyeon nodded and agreed.
Knowing that it was like adults fighting children’s fights, there was a high possibility that the competition itself would become boring.
Also, if it is a competition hosted by the royal family, it is bound to be noticed whether you like it or not, so it could have become even more noisy than if it was a rampage in the middle of the field.
I wanted to decline that much.
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
“We don’t go out….”
“The prize money is also huge.”
“You guys get out.” At that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon looked at everyone except Sadohak and Nam Gung-cheon and muttered.
The eyes of those who had been ignoring it became wide-eyed.
If the words come from Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth and not from anyone else, it is already impossible to refuse.
“Um… you mean us?”
“I guess we can all leave.”
Dan Woohyun thought.
I thought that if Namgung So-hye, Je Gal-yeon, Ma Jang-gang and Kwon Moo-jin finally made it to Jang Sam-tae, even if an outstanding expert were to participate, one of the five would be able to win.
“No, wait a minute! “Are you really telling us to enter the competition?”
Jegal-yeon glared at Dan Woo-hyeon with a sharp gaze.
Due to her personality of not liking being in front of people, she had no desire to participate in such competitions.
“Yeah, there’s nothing to do anyway.”
Jegal-yeon looked shocked at Dan Woo-hyeon’s indifferent attitude.
It was true that I was sitting around doing nothing, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t doing anything.
“I’m an escort too, right?”
Zhuge Yan glanced back at Ma Jang-gang and Kwon Mu-jin and cautiously opened his mouth.
I didn’t want to do chores like Jang Sam-tae, and Namgung So-hye was enough to be the kitchen maid.
She chose it because escorting seemed easy and comfortable.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon’s next words shattered the concept of Ho-wi.
“So there’s nothing to do.”
“That’s right.”
“Were there any escorts here?”
“Hehehe, I thought lounging around was work, but it seems it wasn’t.”
A heart-piercing voice was heard from all over the place.
Dan Woo-hyeon, Sadohak, Nam Gung-cheon, and even Zhuge Un.
He was acting as if the escort thing didn’t even exist.
Looking at it, the three people who claimed to be guards and guards were frightened.
Still, he said he was working hard.
They patrolled occasionally at night and provided assistance when difficulties arose.
But they really seemed to know nothing.
thud!
In the end, Zhuge Yan got so angry that he slammed the table and jumped up. I turned on the double wick and shot at Kwon Moo-jin and Majang River.
“You guys also say something! “We are escorts, right?”
“No, that’s…”
“Quite…”
Kwon Moo-jin and Majang Kang had nothing to say.
After all, if you think about it, it wasn’t something particularly special.
However, when they thought that they were beings with a lot of mana, their shoulders slumped.
Looking at that scene, Zhuge Yan seemed even more exasperated and raised his voice and looked at Dan Woohyeon.
“great! Let’s compete! All I have to do is compete and win, right?”
“okay.”
“But let’s be clear. Participating means competing. A prize is a prize!”
“Hmm?”
At that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Zhuge-yeon with an expression of surprise. It seemed like she didn’t really understand what she wanted to say.
Zhuge Yan grinned and smiled.
It seemed like a declaration of war against Danwoohyeon.
“We are the ones who won, so the prize money is also ours.”
“You’re not mean to say that we’ll use the talent and you’ll take the money, right?”
“…Not like that.”
Namgung So-hye frowned at his slightly trembling voice.
Dan Woo-hyeon must have been planning to take the prize money.
Some people nodded and said yes.
Even Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak seemed embarrassed, so they cleared their throats and looked elsewhere.
At the same time, he implicitly realized her fear, thinking that if Zhuge Yan fired like that, even Dan Woo-hyeon in the world would be embarrassed.
“Anyway, since we’ve decided to enter the competition, let’s go get special training right away!”
Jegal Yeon, full of motivation, left the place with Kwon Mu-jin and Ma Jang-gang in tow.
Return to War
