Episode 187
Honam Danga was large in size, but there was a fairly large self-sufficient field beyond the wall.
However, no crops had been planted since the last harvest, and the rain had poured down so the field had become flat and had to be hoeed again before it could be used.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was returning from fishing, saw a strange situation in the field.
There was Namgung So-hye, who worked hard at hoeing.
I must have been sweating quite a bit, so my clothes were sticking to my body. Thanks to this, her body was fully exposed, and if it were Akyang and not in the mountains, she
would have immediately caught the attention of passing men.
He stood for a while, looking at Namgung Sohye, then sighed deeply.
“What are you doing?”
I finally asked.
Gung So-hye, a male who was hard at work hoeing, suddenly turned her head and made eye contact with Dan Woo-hyeon. He blushed, probably because he realized that his appearance was not that good.
“Look… you wouldn’t know it if you saw it, right? “You do hoeing.”
I heard Namgung So-hye’s downcast voice.
When I looked next to him, I saw Je Gal-yeon leisurely lying on the cow and eating an apple.
Unlike Namgung So-hye, who worked hard at hoeing, she went to Agyang and borrowed a ox and used it to grind the hoe without expending any effort.
Looking at that leisurely sight, Namgung Sohye trembled.
“They say that if you have a bad head, your body will suffer. That’s right.”
“No?! “ Yuna was being cruel
!”
“Is it cruel? “Can you tell me that you are working efficiently?”
Since Zhuge Yan was right, Nangong Xiaohye had nothing to say.
When you only plow one row of fields, Zhuge Yan plows three or four rows of fields. How can there be any comparison?
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and looked at Zhuge Yeon.
“Where did you get the money to rent a cow?”
“It’s as simple as renting an old cow. “After all this, I have some experience in acupuncture, so I put a needle on my leg and borrowed it.”
Zhuge Yan smiled brightly.
Technology makes money. Like Nangong Xiaohye, Zhuge Yan did not live with only a sword in mind, but possessed versatile talents.
Because of Zhuge Un, she was stuck in the mountains and lived a rough life, but if she had put her mind to it, making money wouldn’t have been funny.
“Right. “Is it pretty?”
“Thank you. “Is this enough to pay for a meal?”
“okay. I hope you continue to do so in the future. “Someone somewhere is useless at work.”
“What is that!? “Are you doing that to me?”
Namgung So-hye glared at Dan Woo-hyeon with a very angry expression. I felt bad because I felt like Jegal-yeon was constantly trying to stop me, but I felt angry that even Dan Woo-hyeon was doing that.
He hit the hoe hard with a dissatisfied expression.
Puk puk! And the ground was dug.
Zhuge Yan shrugged his shoulders at the sight of what appeared to be an unreasonable venting of anger.
“So, I thought your father was looking for you?”
” I get it.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded at Jegal-yeon’s words.
Before turning his back, he looked at Namgoong Sohye, who was still dissatisfied, and did not forget to smile.
“ah-! really!”
Namgung So-hye’s dissatisfied voice was heard from behind. I unconsciously chuckled at the harsh voice, opened the front door of the three houses, and went inside.
As if he had already guessed that Dan Woo-hyeon was coming, as soon as he opened the door, Zhuge Un appeared in front of him and bowed his head as if he had been waiting.
“Are you here?”
“What’s going on?”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who casually walked inside, did not even glance at Je Gal-un. It was as if he was treating me like a non-existent person, but the answer to Zhuge Un’s question flowed clearly and clearly from his mouth.
“It is the work of the Geumhwan Sangdan…”
“It is a matter left to the Geumhwanhak. “It’s none of your business.”
“…Is that so?”
Zhuge Un sighed and swallowed a groan.
Since I said I was going to work for Sega, I thought that I would have to manage the overall things myself. However, Dan Woo-hyeon left the work of the top to Geum Eun-hak and told him not to interfere or even report.
This means clearly distinguishing between tasks.
Zhuge Yun smiled without realizing it.
I was a little embarrassed because it was my first time in a situation like this.
But it’s okay.
If you have one less thing to do, you can focus on other things. Perhaps Dan Woo-hyeon was considerate of such things.
‘Of course, I don’t think this person would really do that, but…’
With that thought in mind, his expression relaxed. Jegal-un
cautiously opened his mouth as he followed Dan Woo-hyeon, who was slowly walking towards somewhere.
“The scandalous movement has become more active recently. I guess soon…”
“You mean it will come?”
“Yes, judging by the situation, I think they might be trying to launch an all-out war.”
Recently, in the process of collecting information about Honam, Zhuge Un realized that the Honam merchants were under the protection of the Chumun family.
Although it was hard to understand that the power of a single liquor seller was stronger than that of a merchant that encompassed the entire Honam region, he knew from experience that unconvincing things did happen from time to time in this central office.
Also, in the current situation, it was absolutely necessary for the scandalous family to eliminate the Honam Danga.
He would have realized that it was more efficient than aiming for the gold ring top, and he would have also known that doing so would require considerable strength.
You may be thinking that Honam Danga is the place that has the power to push away the Honam Sangdan in an instant, and not anywhere else.
“I guess they think it’s better to attack them from the front than to attack them from behind.”
“Yes, the justification is…”
Dan Woo-hyeon stopped, and Zhuge Un also stopped. His gaze returned to Hoyeonji on one side of Honam Danga. The woman, who was sweating while making alcohol again today, was breathing hard and seemed quite tired.
“It looks like the Hoyeon family is going to fall. Of course, I can’t guess what method it will take, but…” Dan Woo-hyeon nodded wordlessly and walked towards Ho Yeon-ji. Ho Yeon-ji, who had been sweating at the sound of those footsteps, came to her senses and looked at Woo-hyeon.
“ah! “Did the head of the house come?”
“Okay, I guess the drinking went pretty well today. “It smells different.”
“It’s my own work.”
Ho Yeon-ji used a small gourd to scoop up alcohol and handed it to Dan Woo-hyeon. The pungent aroma that wafted out as soon as I received it was sweeter than any other alcohol I had ever made.
Even Zhuge Un swallowed his saliva.
“It’s okay. “If this is the case, I can be confident that it is the liquor of the Hoyeon family.”
“is it so?”
“okay.”
He nodded and acknowledged it, and Hoyeonji’s mouth caught in his ear. This is the first compliment I’ve heard in a long time after being scolded every day.
My tense mind was relieved in an instant.
Laughter leaked out.
Dan Woo-hyeon handed the remaining alcohol in the gourd to Zhu Gal-un. Then he sat down on one side and quietly stared at Hoyeonji.
Ho Yeon-ji’s face turned bright red at that gaze.
“Why do you look at me like that? “Do you have something on your face?”
“It’s not like that, but… there’s something I’d like to ask.”
“What is it?”
Hoyeonji tilted his head and asked back.
Dan Woohyun, not anyone else, is asking a question? I was so nervous that my heart was pounding.
He looked very worried, wondering if he was saying he didn’t need it anymore.
“Do you remember what I said last time?”
“What did you say?”
“It’s a scandalous matter.”
“…Of course I remember.”
Ho Yeon-ji’s eyes lit up like an active volcano at the word scandal. The atmosphere had somehow changed from her usual innocent expression.
“What changed in that thought?”
“no. “I must repay them for everything they have done to me.”
As if to say that those were the conditions, Ho Yeon-ji was looking at Dan Woo-hyeon without avoiding his eyes.
Woohyun chuckled at that gaze that didn’t back down even an inch.
“Yes, those were the conditions.”
“Yes, so what you’re talking about now is… by any chance?”
“Well, I don’t know what to think.”
Dan Woo-hyeon turned his back without saying any more. Ho Yeon-ji frowned at the word that aroused curiosity, but Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t seem to have any intention of saying anything.
Ho Yeon-ji stared at Dan Woo-hyeon’s disappearing back with a dissatisfied expression.
“What do you have in mind?” Trudging –
I followed Woohyun’s side as he headed somewhere again. Even though they weren’t saying anything, I couldn’t shake the feeling that they had prepared everything from the beginning.
“No, there is nothing like that.” He spoke firmly and smiled.
Zhuge Un was impressed by that expression. I was curious about what kind of composure Dan Woo-hyeon was showing in a situation where it was impossible to predict how the opponent would move.
Did you read the curiosity in Zhuge Un’s gaze?
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.
I slowly turned my head and looked at Zhuge Un.
“Do you know what the scariest thing in the world is?”
“It’s a hidden knife.”
Zhuge Un answered without hesitation. As long as you know, you are not afraid of anything, not ghosts or the enemy’s plans. However, you should be afraid of the blade hidden in your arms.
Isn’t that why Namgungcheon didn’t become like that?
If Zhuge Un had thought a little deeper and found that blade, Nangong Tian wouldn’t have had his arm cut off and the Nangong family wouldn’t have fallen.
“Yes… but what’s even more scary is that.”
” yes?”
“It is an overwhelming power that cannot even be approached by shallow maneuvers.”
“…!”
For a moment, Zhuge Un felt like he was going to lose his breath. The single word that came out of Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth pressed down on his shoulders like a 10,000-pound weight, and the powerful force that covered his entire body made even his flesh tremble.
I swallowed hard and
tried to keep my gaze focused.
That alone made me feel like I was going to collapse from exhaustion. I gritted my teeth with mental strength, endured it, and stood with both legs on the ground.
And I realized it right away.
While he was wasting time collecting information, analyzing it, and predicting his opponent, Dan Woo-hyeon had already finished thinking and put everything into action.
Now that I think about it, Sado Hak and Namgungcheon have not been seen since this morning.
What this means is that the Honamdan family, not the scandalous family, began to move one step ahead.
‘Maybe I…’
thought Zhuge Un.
This person in front of me is Dan Woo-hyeon. I wonder if he is someone who stands higher than I originally thought… and that is the power that made Geomwang and Demon Emperor stay by his side.
The corners of my mouth naturally trembled.
Zhuge Un, who calculated everything with his genius brain and predicted what would happen in the future and made a plan,
had to admit that all of that was behind Dan Woo-hyeon.
