Episode 117. As the day dawned
, the three young men and women from the Jeongju branch of the Justice League headed to the first base of Jeongju early.
The three of them were carrying a large package on their backs as if they had promised. If it wasn’t for the sword worn around his waist, he would look like a bundle merchant.
Geumsik Geumsik’s Yoo Geunshik glanced at Changinmun’s Jinseolha and smiled.
“Why do you look at Brother Yoo that way?”
“You were great yesterday. Did you hold on to that terrifying kite so tightly and shake it?”
“oh! Don’t say anything strange in the morning. What do you think I grabbed and shook?”
When Jin Seol-ha jumped up, even Seol Cha-soo added a word.
“It is not a sound. I was nervous the whole time watching it. Even so, it’s Green Forest Patrol, but they treat me like the bachelor next door. Well, it was the same the first time the branch manager came, so there is consistency. Looking at that, I think Yeon So-hyeop’s personality is okay. Master Yu, isn’t it?”
“yes. When Sister Jin gave me all the injections, I didn’t see him as a green person. I thought you were a high priest of Shaolin Temple.”
“Oh, why did you do that until the death penalty on New Year’s Day? Still, thanks to me, didn’t we get to know each other a lot? At first, the brothers couldn’t even make eye contact with Shim Noh-bae.”
Seol Cha-su said seriously.
“okay. It’s all thanks to you, but from now on, I hope it’s a little more formal. As you may know, Nokrim are people who put their sword before words.”
“Oh yes. I will find out.”
Jin Seol-ha pursed her lips, and Yoo Geun-sik said a word.
“Sister Jin, don’t be so downhearted. Yeon So-hyeop doesn’t seem to be very interested in you either. do you know Will things go well with the green forest patrol? As the sister said, when young men and women travel for a long time, you never know what will happen.”
“Oh, did Brother Yoo look like that? Did Yeonsohyeop really look like that?”
“why? Are you really interested in that?”
“It’s cool to be on patrol at a young age. Madou wouldn’t be able to stop at his words.”
Seol Cha-soo, who was listening to the two of them, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk! immature things. Right now, the Justice League and Green Forest are cooperating because of the famous religion, but how long do you think that will last? Once the formidable enemy of the famous religion disappears, the next step is greening. What are the women of the Justice League and the green forest patrol doing? Is that a reasonable thing to say?”
“Oh, the death penalty. Let go of your preconceived notions. What’s not going to happen? Yes? Yoo death penalty?”
“Yes, I believe there are no orthodox parties in love. Of course, the two of them must first come to terms with each other. But I’m really curious, so Sister Jin. Are you really interested in Yeonsohyup?”
“Tell me how many times. Because it’s cool!”
“okay. I will cheer you up. It will be all right because the only woman is Sister Jin.”
The three entered Jeongju First Lu with their big dreams.
The moment they reached the seventh floor, the three of them froze to a halt.
The first time I’ve seen it, a man and a woman were chatting with Yeonjeokha and Heartache.
It has a friendly atmosphere even from a distance.
Jin Seol-ha, who was crying, muttered.
“Couldn’t it be?”
Seol Cha-soo and Yoo Geun-sik, Jin Seol-ha, who had been hesitant, approached slowly.
Gucheonno, who discovered the three people, introduced them with a heartache.
“Since you are going with me, say hello. These are Confucius Namgungcheon and Sojeo Namgungyeon.”
Besides Yeonjeokha and Pacheonmagun, who have heart pains, there are only two people who treat him politely, Namgungcheon and Namgungyeon.
The three men and women couldn’t help but be slightly surprised at the different heartache from before.
Seol Cha-soo cautiously opened his mouth.
“I am the Seolchasu of Cheondomun. Aren’t the two of you Cheongwoon Sword Daehyeop and Hwayong Doksim Sojeo?”
Namgungcheon is 32 years old, so it’s a bit early to call it Daehyeop. Twenty-three-year-old Seolchasu was difficult to deal with, so he was called Daehyeop.
Namgungcheon laughed and nodded.
“Right. Nice to meet you. I am relieved to hear that you are members of the Justice League.”
Namgungse was also a member of the Justice League, so they were like one family.
“Nice to meet you. I am called Yoo Geun-sik of the Golden Checkpoint. I’ve heard a lot about the collaboration between the two of you. It is an honour.”
“I am Chin Seol-ha of Changinmun.”
“Namgungcheon.”
Namgungcheon made eye contact with the two and exchanged greetings.
Namgungyeon just nodded her head next to Namgungchun and didn’t open her mouth.
Seol Cha-soo and Yoo Geun-sik stood there after finishing their greetings. It was because I couldn’t go out in front of Namgungcheon due to the distribution of age and power.
After exchanging a few words with Sim Tong, Namgungcheon spoke to the three men and women.
“Everyone should know the contents. Briefly describe your schedule. The places we are going to are three sanchae and two sinks. I decided the order considering the movement line. The first is Gwangpungchae in Shandong Province, the second is Samdosanchae in Jiuhuasan Mountain in Namjiglie Province, the third is Yangtze River Waterfall in Huguang Province, the fourth is the Donghu Waterfall in Huguang Province, and the fifth is Daebyeol Mountain Chae in Daebyeolsan Mountain in Henan Province. You can think of it as starting from Jeongju and turning right.”
Jin Seol-ha, who had been listening blankly, muttered involuntarily.
“It is a very long way.”
“So I’m thinking of using a quad wagon for wild vegetables. All sinks are in the Yangtze River, so I’m thinking of going by boat. It’s a long distance, but it won’t be as difficult as you think.”
“ah. Wagons and boats…”
Jinseolha muttered, inadvertently recalling boating.
Then, slowly, he turned his gaze to Yeonjeokha.
He stood back and listened to the story as if it were someone else’s business. Anyone can misunderstand that Namgungcheon is responsible for this incident.
But I also liked Jinseol’s indifference and absurd composure.
Then, I glanced at Namgung-yeon as Jinseol continued.
Even though I tried not to be conscious of it, strangely, she kept bothering me.
Did you say Hwa-yong reading-sim?
I still don’t know how to read, but I can’t help but admit the word Hwa-yong.
Can a person be more beautiful than a flower?
there is.
When I see Namgung-yeon sitting on a chair with a sad expression, I think of that.
She was as beautiful as someone who had ripped out of the Tao of Beauty.
Features well-balanced on a small face.
Her white skin, plump lips like cherry blossoms, and glossy black hair.
None of them are ordinary.
He himself had a beauty that was within the fingertips of Jeongju, but he couldn’t compare to her.
‘I’ll definitely have my strengths too!’
With that thought in mind, Jinseol-ha suddenly ignited his will to fight.
A quadruped carriage arrived in front of Jeongju First Lu.
Then, Jang Bo-ok, the owner of the giru, came out and loaded a lot of dried meat and dried meat on the roof of the wagon.
Seeing his saddened face despite all his hardships, he seems to have developed some affection for him. Or, thank you for keeping me alive and not killing me.
It was around 10 a.m. when Yeon Jeok-ha and his party descended.
Although it is a quadruple carriage, the inside of the carriage seemed a bit cramped for seven people.
In the end, Seol Cha-su and Yoo Geun-sik took turns sitting next to the coachman due to their age.
Yoo Geun-shik first went up to the seat next to the coachman.
Six people entered the wagon one after another, and the coachman gave a long whip lightly.
“Come on!”
Rumbling rumbling.
The quadrupedal wagon moved slowly along the road to the gate.
Green Forest’s fight against Yumyeonggyo began quietly like that.
***
Early February.
Jeongju.
Samjang (Baekjia, Yanggajang, and Waryongjang) had to endure a harsher winter than ever before.
Samjangbulip, which emerged from the head of Pacheonmagun, Green Forest Chowder, pushed Samjang into the abyss of despair.
The disciples of Samjang lost their jobs, and even the commercial power that Samjang was controlling was taken away.
But that wasn’t the end.
Nokrim and Sapa threatened the merchants and even cut off the deal with Samjang.
Unable to bear it, the disciples of Samjang scattered, just like the disciples of Waryongjang did in the past.
However, Green Forest continued to bite the people from Samjang until the end.
Inevitably, those from Samjang had to hide their past and wander as rongin.
The first dismantled was Waryongjang.
Yeonmubaek closed the door of Waryongjang and sent Baekhodae back to Baekjiajang.
Mother Baek Mi-joo and younger sister Yeon Seung-baek objected, but Yeon Mu-baek did not give up.
Inevitably, Baek Mi-joo had to return to Baekgajang with the Baekhodae.
Yeon Mu-baek, who decided to close the gate himself, entered the Jeongju branch of the Justice League for some reason.
Since the head of a well-known shaman family went as a general warrior, it can be called Baek Ui Jong-gun.
As Seungwoon Swordsman Ma Cheondeok was recruiting masters, he welcomed them with both hands.
When Yeon Mu-baek settled in the Jeongju branch, he called his younger brother Yeon Seung-baek.
Yeon Seung-baek, who had nowhere to go, reluctantly joined the Jeongju branch.
In fact, the choice of Hyeonmubaek was correct.
It was because the only place in Gangho today that could accept someone from Samjang was Jeongui-maeng.
Unlike Waryongjang, who gave up early, Baekgajang and Yanggajang foolishly persevered until the end. However, due to Sapa’s constant pressure, every day was like hell.
one hundred heads.
At Baekgajang, where all the disciples left, only the Baek clan remained.
They just hoped that the head of the family, Mucheon Sword Baek Seung-ho, would make some kind of decision.
One day.
Baek Mi-joo, who is good at speaking well, conveyed the wishes of such families to Baek Seung-ho.
“Dad, it’s no longer difficult in Jeongju anyway. I’d rather go to another area…”
Baek Seung-ho shouted before she could finish her sentence.
“Shut up! Other people may not know, but you should have nothing to say even with ten mouths! Three families are ruined because of your one mistake! Even if you just asked him for forgiveness! This would never have happened!”
Baek Seung-ho trembled as he looked at Baek Mi-ju.
Because she was the only daughter, she raised her, wondering if she was born or not, and in the end, this kind of madness arose. I think I should be more strict, but it’s just a belated regret.
“It would have been the same if I had lowered my head. did you forget He asked not only me, but also my father and the head of the household to kneel.”
“Me and the head of the household are not guilty of anything!”
“Then what about me? What the heck did I commit? Since the maid my father brought me to use was an orphan, he treated me better than others! But I treated her like a real sister, and in return, she took away my husband! Do you know how he looked at me after he took her in?”
Baek Mi-joo opened her eyes and glared at Baek Seung-ho.
Recalling that miserable memory made me want to bite a knife and fall face down to death.
“Did I have to take good care of her offspring? I would have killed anyone else! Still, because of the face of the prestigious family, they couldn’t kill them and imprisoned them! If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have killed him by stepping on his neck! You’re right. I was wrong. I should have killed him then!”
“…”
Baek Seung-ho closed his eyes with the funeral ceremony.
Hearing that his arm bends inwards, it was hard to blame him.
I feel sorry for both ‘Yeon Jeok-ha who went for revenge’ and the daughter who said ‘I should have killed him then’.
However, as the head of a household, he cannot just leave his daughter’s mistakes as they are.
Baek Seung-ho, who opened his eyes, spoke quietly.
“I don’t have the face to look at the ancestral tablets of my ancestors anymore. Get out of the Baekjia I don’t know how long Baekjiajang will last, but there is no place for you here.”
“Dad…”
Baek Mi-joo looked at her father with blank eyes.
She was betrayed by her husband and left all the children she had worked so hard to raise. However, it feels like my head is empty when I throw myself away even to the parents I depend on for the last time.
That afternoon, Baekjijang opened the door and a woman came out.
It was white rice wine.
After standing in front of the door for a long time, she walked away with her back blown by the north wind.
The direction she was going was Luoyang.
