Episode 369
In the end, Jin Cheon-hee ended up mobilizing an unmanned worker to make rib dumplings.
A long process of carving out rib meat to make dumpling filling, turning it into dumplings and steaming them to keep the meat juicy inside.
It was crazy, but I did it with just the determination to eat it.
…I was satisfied.
The remaining ribs were grilled and supplied to the warriors who ran out of food.
The experience of wrapping thin ice-covered broth around ribs and eating it was not an easy experience.
After such a happy voyage, the group safely disembarked in Nanjing and resupplied.
While resupplying, I decided to rest in the largest guest house in Nanjing.
The teacher had made a reservation in advance.
Man-seon looked a little horrified, but his student Jin Cheon-hee was at peace.
For a strategist, calculating military supplies is the most basic task.
It wouldn’t be the Master’s job to figure out where to resupply and where to rest nearby.
‘And surprisingly, there aren’t many guest rooms where all these people can rest.’
One more thing to add is that Jin Cheon-hee, Hwang-gu, and Noe-jin are all great gourmets.
Of course, it is the owner Jin Cheon-hee’s fault that the two spirit creatures have such picky tastes, but in any case, it has to be a place that can satisfy the tongues of both humans and spirit creatures.
‘The bed can be a little hard! Eating comes first.’
Is there anything more sad than traveling and eating bad food?
So, I took a seat in the guesthouse, sat at the head table, ordered, and ate the food that was brought out.
Soon, Yein came out on stage holding a pipa.
Because of her stunning beauty, all warriors, both men and women, focused on her.
She had side slits in her slightly tight clothes that showed her legs, but Jin Cheonhee didn’t know where to put her eyes, so she looked away.
A child who appeared to be a father-in-law introduced himself.
“A popular beautiful musician in Hongtaek Lake! Would you like to hear it?”
Wow!
She played the pipa and sang in a husky voice.
‘The level is higher than I thought?’
Because of his amazing skill, he finally turned his gaze to look at her.
Then suddenly our eyes met.
She smiled at Jin Cheon-hee as if she had been waiting for her.
‘What is it?’
Anyway, she fixed her eyes on the pipa again and continued to play and sing.
That’s how the stage ended.
Wow!
All the warriors clapped happily.
‘It’s perfect for relieving travel fatigue.’
I was surprised that the level of entertainment was higher than I expected.
In addition, Jin Cheon-hee had many points to refer to in the pipa playing skills just shown.
‘Actually, I learned Chilmageum, which is a peerless sound technique, and only used it to troll in real life.’
If Grand Master Chilmageum had found out about this, he would have jumped out of his grave.
* * *
After having such a great time, I went into the room.
As it is a luxury hotel in its own way, I put hot water in the bathtub beforehand and took a light bath before coming out.
Someone cleared their throat in front of the guest room.
“Who are you?”
By the looks of it, there was only one person.
Soon a voice rang out.
“I came here because I have something to ask of the White God Dragon.”
Ah, that’s the musician’s voice at that time.
Jin Cheon-hee calmly shook her head.
‘I guess it’s one of three. ‘He’s a spy, an assassin, or has a sick family member.’
Jin Cheon-hee, whose love cells had died and only vestigial organs remained, was unable to think about more than these three variables.
Hwanggu waggled his tail and barked.
Is he holding something to eat?
First of all, it would be difficult to deceive Hwang-gu’s nose if it were a spray.
That’s at the level of a decent spellcaster, and the river is so wide and deep that I’ve heard that a top-class spellcaster can fool even a dog’s nose.
But Hwanggu is not just a dog, but a spirit animal?
I don’t know.
I may be trusting Hwanggu too much as the owner.
“Please come in.”
Grumbling –
she came inside.
She spoke to Jin Cheonhee with tearful eyes.
“long time no see. Above.”
“yes?”
No matter how you look at it, it’s not the first time you’ve seen it.
‘…Now wait a minute.’
The moment she ran up to me and was about to wrap her arms around me.
Jin Cheon-hee felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
I asked right away.
“…Are you Sima Xuan?”
“Hehe. “My brother is quick-witted!”
At that moment, he wrapped his arms around Jin Cheon-hee’s arm with tremendous grip strength.
“Hey ya!”
“ha ha ha! But I still made fun of half of it~”
“You’re changing your skeleton now too?”
The clothes that showed off her legs clearly belonged to a woman.
“Musculoskeletal deformity surgery has reached great heights.”
“What about the voice?”
“When you reach that stage, your vocal cords will also be transformed.”
…I’ve become a completely different person.
* * *
Long time no see.
Jin Tianxi took out a bottle of tea and Sima Xuan took out a bottle of alcohol and drank it slowly.
There were many stories accumulated, but the time given was always insufficient. Still, that wasn’t a reason to ruin our current meeting.
The two continued their conversation slowly under the moon.
“That aside, you sing well, right?”
“You used to perform in Peking opera. Of course, acting is the most important, but the singing in the play is also important. “It’s a bit difficult since I’ve touched the vocal cords and it’s not my voice~”
Now that I think about it, there was a scene in The Supreme Heavenly Demon where Sima Hyeon slaughters the child of a member of the righteous faction and imitates his voice to lure the other person.
What Sima Hyeon said at that time was this.
-Ah, father! Father… Dad! Haomunju! Daddy!
There is no head of household who would come to his senses after hearing that.
As soon as he rushed around the corner to rescue the child, the child’s bloody hand reached out towards the father, and the father grabbed the child’s hand.
At that moment, I realized that my hand was unusually cold, so I looked away and saw that there was nothing below that wrist.
There was a description that Sima Xuan was naturally imitating the child’s touch, pulling tendons and moving joints as if doing a puppet show.
The leader of the political faction slowed down at that terrible sight.
He had his face ripped off by Sima Xuan.
Sima Xuan imitated the political faction with his face for a while.
‘The Supreme Heavenly Demon’s Sima Hyeon and the Sima Hyun who met me are the same person, but they are taking different paths.’
“What are you thinking, bro?”
“Well, I feel a little proud.”
Sima Hyeon of the Supreme Heavenly Demon is a completely broken person.
I felt lucky that I never had to see him.
If he sees it, Jin Cheon-hee himself won’t know what to do.
The current Sima County has someone to protect, and it is the Sima County that Jin Tianxi bound with an oath from Baek Huanhu.
Of course, that doesn’t make him a good person, and in some ways he still has aspects that are close to being evil, but he’s not a guy who dances around with fire.
Whoop –
Sima Hyeon glanced at Jin Tianxi who was loudly sipping tea, and then poured his own drink into Jin Tianxi’s tea water.
“Hey hey!”
“why. what? “I thought he wanted to eat because he looked like he was drunk~”
“What kind of expression is that?”
“An expression that says he takes on all of the world’s karma?”
“What is that?”
Jin Tianxi grumbled irritably and eventually swallowed a glass of Longjing tea-flavored plum wine that Sima Xuan had poured.
“It’s surprisingly worth eating.”
“Even people who don’t like alcohol drink some of this.”
Is that why you ordered it?
The two continued to talk about the past.
Jin Tianxi talked about meeting Sima Hui and told Sima Hui how much she had grown.
“It would be nice to just hang out and eat at home… I don’t know why you hate it so much~”
“That seems boring.”
Money is an important motivator, but sometimes people find something more important than that.
“It’s all because of you, brother~ I instilled in him a useless sense of mission, and then he suddenly had a goal and that’s what happened, brother… What did he say? ‘role model?’ Right?”
‘Did you memorize that word?’
Jin Cheon-hee himself can’t remember when he said that.
But this guy is so good at remembering and using them one by one.
‘Well… Master and the members of the Council often remember the foreign words I often use.’
In the past, on Earth, foreigners used to use the game language that Koreans often use.
The same goes for idol terminology.
I wonder if words are contagious like this.
Of course, Hyun-i is too active.
“Then how are you going to move now? “Hyung~?”
“I’m going to Sacheondangga and then stop by Odogmun Gate.”
“It seems that Lord Uigak is laying the groundwork in many ways~”
Sima Hyeon seems to have figured it out just by his actions.
“yes. Holding a medical exchange meeting that was just a matter of saving face is itself a political move. Of course, I am a bit greedy about the medical exchange event itself.”
There are several treatments for common poisoning symptoms and antidote side effects found in the private sector made in this way.
In addition, while experiencing this collapse incident, I experienced the burden that patients would experience, such as symptoms of acute renal failure, beyond simply ‘detoxification’.
Even if the poison is detoxified, there are cases where organ function declines and death occurs.
‘Yang Min is a problem, but Kang Ho-in is also… umm… It’s okay to say he’s okay because he’s healthier than Yang Min.’
Even if he died of acute renal failure, there is no way for the military person to know whether he died from poison due to the late detoxification period or from another cause.
“Anyway, my brother was very obsessed with saving people.”
“ha ha ha. Let’s say he has a strong sense of duty as a member of the National Assembly.”
This is a world without the Hippocratic Oath.
Of course, there are virtues as a member of the National Assembly, but it is a place where the law of strength takes precedence.
It is a place where a systematic code of ethics like the modern one has not been established and cannot be established.
‘I guess that’s why I listen to the sound of mad medicine.’
When I think about what I did in front of Jeongsama, well…
if I brought it on myself, I guess I brought it on myself.
I have no regrets, and even if I had to go back then, I would do it again.
“Anyway, I’m going to trade herbs and request medicine from Sacheondanga. I called because I wanted you to arrange for me to connect with Hao Wen. Jinhyeolbang has quite a lot of influence within Haomun, right?”
“It’s not quite big, but it’s the biggest. There’s no way your brother wouldn’t know that~”
“Yes. “Let me do you a favor.”
Jin Tianxi looked at Sima Xuan with straight eyes.
“….”
Sima Xuan looked at his older brother and smiled.
This brother hasn’t changed since he was So Baekryong.
It was like that during the time of the White-robed Divine Dragon, and it was also like that during the time of Byeokgwang.
People who call themselves Souiseon have also begun to appear one by one, and even if they are recognized as Souiseon in the Gangho, this type will not change.
Sima Xuan liked that.
It is fundamentally different from yourself, where when you look at the face of someone who has not been eaten since birth, you have the urge to keep tearing it and taking it.
I liked that type of brother.
Sima Xuan slowly played the pipa.
Diriring-
“I’ll take a request for one song~”
“Whose voice is it?”
“Go~”
“…No, let’s do it with your voice. “Not that one.”
My brother said with a creepy expression.
Sima Xuan willingly sang in his low voice.
Jin Cheon-hee listened to Sima Hyeon’s song with her chin resting on her chin, and then she herself sang a song that she did not know the language of, matching the melody.
Ordinary humming without any notes.
For some reason, I thought it might have been a lover’s breakup song.
I don’t know why.
Just noticed.
While listening to the song, Sima Hyeon poured some drinks.
Jin Cheon-hee grumbled and eventually took another drink.
As expected, I liked that type of brother.
