Episode 220
Finally, I went to Moorim ER and the council members greeted me warmly.
My heart was filled with joy when I saw the members of the Chamber of Deputies who were able to move their hands considerably faster.
“Lord Incinerator has arrived!”
“Waaah! Our Heimaaaaaaaa!”
The council members of Busuldang embraced Jin Cheon-hee, shedding hot tears.
“Thanks to Lord Incinerator, the number of patients has decreased significantly!”
Even the acupuncture doctor turned his head and wiped away tears so that I couldn’t see him.
Lord Chuna also tapped Jin Cheon-hee on the shoulder.
“Well done. Well done! “I’m going to keep going up like this and knock you out!”
“Are there any patients I can help?”
“Luckily, it’s not in today’s preliminaries. And if it was an emergency that only Sogakju could treat, the central party decided to ring a bell to notify it.”
It’s a kind of Joongwon-style pager.
The problem is that everyone will hear the alarm, but anyway, as soon as the bell rings, Jin Cheon-hee will immediately run to Gangho ER.
“No serious injuries, only three minor injuries at most! “It’s a miracle!”
Yeo Ha-ryun also worked hard to control his strength and hold it down.
Isn’t the fact that the Demonic Cult of Heavenly Death, who kills people and insects alike outside (see twice), coming here and putting up with the hardships of treating his brother, is itself a miracle!
‘He even did two against Sima Hyeon.’
Jin Cheonhee rolled up her sleeves.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
At those words, the House of Representatives, the House of Representatives, the head of the Bedding House and the Head of the Busul House made eye contact and nodded.
“Rest.”
“yes?”
“As you know, Master Incinerator, I will ring the bell if necessary, so please rest.”
“Get some rest and go upstairs! “I’m going to beat those damn late Jisoo bastards… no, I’m going to subdue them!”
…Everyone has built up resentment.
Jin Cheon-hee nodded with a faint expression.
In this way, Jin Cheon-hee, representing Moorim ER, became everyone’s hope.
Jin Cheon-hee decided to protect them from overwork.
‘My choice was right.’
Jin Cheon-hee raised his arms.
“I will definitely make it to the finals, capture them all alive without any serious injuries, and send them home!”
Wow!
All the lawmakers hugged Jin Cheon-hee with great emotion.
The World Cup final won’t be like this either.

When I returned to the accommodation, my teacher greeted me happily.
“It’s been a while since the meeting ended. Did you come back after saying hello?”
“yes. “I came here to meet people I have connections with.”
Master’s fan flapped merrily. I know this rhythm.
‘Ah, you exploded with all your might.’
An overwhelming victory in the Yongbong branch preliminaries.
It was not just a victory; it was a great victory that can only be described as a crushing defeat.
This was a demonstration of his skills in front of the elder-level and lord-level members of all sects.
The Master is full of disciples!
Master’s nose soared to the sky at the victory, which was sweeter than any drug.
“Wow, everyone looked at your skills and looked at them with a straight face. Anyway… tsk tsk tsk, it’s so amazing. “I was worried about the level of other people’s students.”
At first glance, it looks like he is worried about other monks’ disciples, but this is just bragging!
My student is crazy!
The level is different from you guys!
It can be said to be a shy expression of the desire to shout through a loudspeaker towards the Jungwon Moorim.
“Your students will do well too.”
“That’s right. “Huuri Hee is a child who has to practice medicine and martial arts, so I’m always anxious.”
My student succeeded in digging two wells!
You couldn’t even dig a well!
The teacher’s words were automatically translated in my brain even though I didn’t even open the Xuanyuan Shendan Shin Technique.
Jin Cheon-hee’s blood rushed to her ears at the Master’s outstretched arms.
‘How much have you been bragging about… my teacher?’
In the meantime, even though I boasted that I had a golden calf in my house, I could not show it in person.
But right here and now, the opportunity has opened to raise that golden calf and show it to everyone.
“Daejin’s luck was good. “You don’t know how fortunate I am.”
“Hee is really humble for his age. That’s why this teacher is worried.”
My student is so bad, but his character is also upright! You don’t even have to experience a gale or storm!
I heard my inner lion’s hoo again.
“By the way, Master.”
Jin Cheon-hee quickly changed the topic.
“What’s happen?”
“I think we need to do some research on Changseonmun Gate.”
“If it’s the Changseonmun, then it’s the Cheonyimun sect that you fought against. To use swordsmanship at that age. “If it weren’t for you, Cheon Yi-moon would probably have passed the preliminaries.”
Unknown Shingongjeolhak is everywhere.
However, the fact that the disciple speaks like this probably means that there is something that gets caught when the swords meet.
“I’ll tell both Kai and Hao Mun.”
“thank you. “Master.”
Zhugelin waved his fan.
“by the way. Rather than that, isn’t today the disciple’s first official victory in non-fighting? “I could be happier, but my student is so calm.”
“Now that I think about it, this is my first time fighting in a competition format like this.”
“It is true that competitions like this have public confidence. “Even if you are an unknown person, fighting in the mountains and fighting unarmed are on a different level.”
He seems very happy about his disciple’s victory.
‘If I had known you would be this happy, I would have participated a long time ago. If so, the number of patients could have been reduced and the fatigue of the members of the National Assembly could have been reduced.’
Professor Jin looked at his crazy thoughts with calm eyes.
Eventually, Master’s voice, which had been excited just a moment ago, changed slightly.
“…They say they caught the tail of the blood mission.”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widened slightly.
“Did you catch it in the Murim Alliance?”
Zhugelin narrowed his eyes at those words.
“okay. After making such a fuss, it was bound to leave traces. The leader was very wary of the Jinseonsipcheongun. There are ten warriors of the same level as Elder Gwon Je. Or if it could be more than that, it would be a big deal.”
“Does the lord have any plans?”
At those words, Zhuge Lin spread out his fan blades one by one.
“To be exact, it is Dokgo Ship’s plan. “At first, he suggested bringing in the imperial army.”
Zhugelin took out the baduk balls and spread them out on the board.
“Let’s say the white side is our camp and the black side is a blood mission. “The location and scale of the blood mission ultimately have to be based on guesswork, but… um… this would be good.”
As he said that, black stones scattered like a swarm of ants on the checkerboard.
“Heeya. What would you do? If we bring in the imperial army, we will be able to increase this white stone even more. “Can you increase it?”
Look at the scattered moves.
The master’s blue eyes tested the disciple’s brain.
Jin Cheon-hee held a white stone.
The finest white stone made of mother-of-pearl looked extremely shiny and fragile.
Just like a person’s life.
“If so, what happens to the borrowed white stone when the game is over? I think it would be difficult to tell them apart because the colors and shapes are the same. “Wouldn’t the owner be angry if I didn’t return it properly?”
There are very few people who leak the total number of baduk stones. But if you use it for a long time, you are bound to lose it one by one.
Moreover, this is only a metaphor and it is implemented by humans.
Many people would die and many people would change.
“Why do you think that?”
“Even if we add new white stones to this melee, in the end we will not know which one is ours and which one belongs to someone else. If that happens, after the game is over, we will have to pick out each stone from our side and put them back…”
And the owner of those stones is no one else, but the emperor.
“The analogy is quite good.”
“yes. In the end, the Emperor will not return. On the other hand, there will also be cases where the Murim people enter the imperial palace. If that happens, won’t the calculations end up being messed up?”
“okay. It’s a fight you can win and still lose. That is the problem with Dokgoseon’s strategy. Baduk is just a metaphor anyway. The essence is a war without rules. “What if one more person joins in and offers to lend his stone?”
“….”
“At first glance, it may be advantageous, but after the game is over, the imperial palace will definitely pay the price. “Isn’t it rumored that the emperor is good at calculations?”
The two emperors suddenly came to mind.
They will move as one body and rule the empire as one body.
They are also basically righteous people. However, the righteousness of a ruler is different from the righteousness of a powerful person.
One of the two was bound to break.
“I am against it.”
“It’s the same idea. “I was against it too.”
It was the correct answer.
The teacher was happy that his student gave the right answer.
Even though he possesses medical skills that no one in the world knows, he is sometimes naive and unaware of the world.
There were many guesses as to why, but Jegalin would never be the first to say it out loud.
Such a disciple is now in the same place as his teacher and has begun to predict the same numbers.
It is an indescribable joy as a teacher.
“Now then, guess there is one more reason why this teacher was against it.”
“Isn’t the imperial army fighting a foreign power?”
“okay. At first glance, things are peaceful, but there are still big and small battles taking place on the border. “Because the West Continent exists across the sea, and those who border the Fire Empire are all strong.”
Master took a sip of tea and continued speaking.
“The West Continent is far away and the ocean blocks it, so it’s not a big problem, but borders are always a problem.”
The people of the Hua Empire believe that this continent is theirs.
In reality, it has national power and territory that are worthy of the term empire. However, that is only the perspective of the Fire Empire.
“Because we don’t need an imperial army that can simply quell civil unrest.”
“okay. And they are spread out. Even if the emperor were to listen to the Murim Alliance’s request and move, it would also be a significant burden. So, you will reap the benefits. There is a group in this country that makes money by relying on martial arts alone. “How annoying.”
Gwan and Moorim have nothing to do with each other.
However, it was not created with any ideology or romance.
Humans are beings who constantly desire as long as they live. From the moment the umbilical cord is cut, humans desire.
To have something to eat and walk.
There is only one way to suppress that instinct.
A stalemate created by the balance of power.
“So this teacher came up with a plan.”
“hmm…?”
Zhuge Lin stretched out his hand and moved a white stone. Then, it became a very appetizing house for Heukdol.
If the knight (棋士) is incompetent, it seems like he can swallow up the board in about two moves.
“It’s bait.”
“That’s right. “It’s Pojeonin-ok (抛塼引玉).”
The 17th of the 36 precepts of war. Throw a brick and get jade.
It is an old saying that originated from an anecdote during the Tang Dynasty, but to be condensed as briefly as possible from a modern perspective on the art of strategy, it is a tactic to throw a bait and then hit the enemy who rushes at it from behind.
“Pojeoninokgye. If so, it would mean that you also have to show your weaknesses to the other person.”
“hmm. That’s how it should be. But it would be better to give them what they want first.”
“…?”
Master’s eyes glowed coldly.
