Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 451

Episode 451. If so, they will lose money

.

Buyang Bunam-hyeon.

around dusk.

Baekhwa Sangbang’s wagon and porters arrived at the outskirts of Bunam-hyeon.

Returning from reconnaissance, Baek San-wu, the swordsman of Sangwol in Daeju, visited Baek Il-woong, the acting chief.

“There is a meeting in front of the acting chieftain ten li (about 4 km). If I go to the village, I will have to go back. What should I do?”

“Is there a place to stay by the river?”

“There are dozens of abandoned houses, so I think we can use them.”

“Then, let’s spend the night by the riverside and cross the river when the sun rises. It’s kind of like going back on the road after only looking at one inn. What do you think?”

“I think that would be fine too. I have to go twenty li (about 8 km) to the village, but thinking about going back and forth is a waste of time.”

“Is there a group of thieves nearby?”

“There are still no rumors about bandits haunting Bunam-hyeon. If it’s not green forest, even if there are thieves, you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Isn’t there any green forest that has advanced to Fuyang?”

“That’s right. Seongseochae in Kwakgu-hyeon, Yuan is the closest.”

“Even if it’s close, it’s two days away and they won’t move until Buyang.”

“you’re right. We have nothing to do with Seongseochae. I will enter Hoenam via Yeongsanghyeon and Suhyeon.”

It is two days from Hoenan to Namgungse of Hebi.

In fact, as long as it went all the way to Huainan, the transportation of goods was a success.

“If there is no greenery in Buyang, there is nothing you can’t do to rest overnight by the riverside. But just in case, inspect the empty houses and make sure there are no gaps in the borders. You never know when the opportunity will come again if you get screwed up this time.”

“I know. We will look into it so that there is no problem.”

“Yes, you take care of it yourself. There are so many variables in the riverside that I can’t relax.”

“Don’t worry too much. If the Seongseochae moves, rumors will reach them before they do.”

“I guess. Because the greenery is so conspicuous. I get it anyway Then guide me to a suitable campsite.”

“yes.”

Baek San-wu led the escorts of Jungyang University and took the lead.

Baekhwa Sangbang’s carriage and porters moved forward while basking in the setting sun.

along the Huaihe River.

Wagons and porters were arranged in a circle around the largest and least broken house.

A wagon full of ‘Jade Pearl’ and ‘Tang Samchae’ was parked in the middle of the yard.

It’s like building a wall with people and luggage.

After roughly preparing the camp, the porters huddled together and began to eat dry food.

In the outbuilding, the guests diligently made food and brought it out to the front yard.

After smelling it, the escorts from Chungyang University gathered one by one.

Lastly, Yeonjeokha appeared in the front yard.

Middle-aged escort Hong Jeong-ro glanced at Yeonjeok-ha and said something.

“It seems that seniors have more money than they look. I see you come to buy it for every meal.”

someone said

“Aren’t you the kind of person who doesn’t mind having your restaurant go bankrupt? Ten or five doors is the blood of new feet.”

“hey. Don’t ignore it as new feet. No matter how new their feet are, they will die if they bleed too much.”

The young escorts giggled at Hong Jeong-ro’s words.

Unlike before, when the escorts made sarcastic remarks, he frowned.

It seemed that the escorts were firmly stamped on it because of the day’s work.

It’s not that I can’t understand their feelings, but it still didn’t feel good.

‘Should I step on it?’

It’s when he’s thinking about it for a while.

When Yeon Jeok-ha’s expression was not good, Baek Seon-hwa came forward.

“It doesn’t look good when many people make fun of one person. Please be careful with your words and actions while going around in the name of Baekhwa Sangbang. I’m sorry if I offended you. They’re just words, don’t take them to heart.”

If it were an ordinary clerk, the escorts would have been angry, but she is the niece of the ark.

The escorts kept their mouths shut with embarrassed faces.

Yeonjeokha glanced at Baekseonhwa.

She is a unique woman in many ways.

He has a sharp and tenacious side, but he also seems to know how to be considerate of others.

Seeing that he was a clerk and pointed out to the escorts without hesitation, it seemed that he had a lot of back.

The escorts were people with one leg in Murim, so they looked down on literary men.

Of course, I know the clerk as dog shit.

If you think about it, the strange atmosphere now was not common.

“Bag sozer.”

“yes?”

“Does the family look good?”

Baek Seon-hwa looked at Yeonjeok-ha with absurd eyes.

I took the side at best, but I don’t know what kind of sound this is when I’m sleeping.

“What do you mean?”

“It was amazing to see that the tough escorts couldn’t even squeak at the words of a clerk.”

At that moment, the expressions of the escorts who were eating nearby hardened.

Even if you look at them, they are faces with hurt pride.

Bewildered, Baek Seon-hwa hurriedly asked.

“Do you know that now is not the time to say such a thing, senior citizen?”

“Is there a set time for you to say that?”

Yeonjeokha narrowed her eyes.

He hadn’t seen anyone notice him since he dipped his toe into the green forest.

So even now, I couldn’t understand Baek Seon-hwa’s words.

Seeing his innocent expression, Baek Seon-hwa held back the swearing that rose up to her throat.

“Have a senior citizen meal and go to sleep. What do you do when you know someone else’s family history?”

“Ah, you seem to have misunderstood my words, but what do I want to say?”

I wanted to say, ‘I want you to know that I have a story that makes you like your family, just like shouting in front of an escort.’

But Baek Seon-hwa didn’t want to talk to him.

What more could I say in front of the escorts who were gnashing their teeth?

“Hey. Kite Confucius. I don’t want to listen to seniors. I have no interest in the work of a practitioner. So have a quiet meal and go. The senior Confucius also came here to eat. is not it?”

“I do.”

“Then have a meal. Don’t make people uncomfortable.”

“You made me feel uncomfortable? I?”

Baek Seon-hwa answered his question firmly.

“yes. Can’t you feel that the atmosphere here has become a bit chilly because of the seniors?”

“I am the one who felt uncomfortable after hearing unpleasant noises as soon as I arrived, but why did I…”

“I apologized for that. After that, the Yeon Gongja said strange things about the escort and me… Haa, that’s it. Kite Confucius.”

“yes.”

“Let’s go our separate ways tomorrow morning. I don’t think seniors and us are compatible. It would be better not to look at each other before the unpleasantness builds up. I will tell the acting chief, so please go quietly.”

“Wow!”

An exclamation escaped from the young man’s mouth.

It’s the first time I’ve been kicked out while accompanying Sangbang.

It was shocking to hear the words ‘Please go’ from a peer I thought I could communicate with.

Embarrassment and self-doubt followed like a wave.

I was in a bad mood, but I didn’t get angry because I had apologized enough to her.

“It sucks.”

After the match ran out of appetite, he returned to the carriage without looking back.

Young-il, the coachman who was eating dry food next to the carriage, came running and crouched down.

“Did the meal suit your taste?”

He knew that the younger brother had a rather picky taste, so he asked about that.

“I haven’t eaten.”

“Oops! There seems to be a dish you don’t like. Shall we prepare a dry quantity?”

“Rather than hating it, I wasn’t in the mood to eat anything.”

“yes? why?”

What had happened just a moment ago flowed out of his mouth.

“…We don’t get along, so I’m going to leave quietly tomorrow morning. If we stay together, it won’t be good for each other.”

“…”

Yangil was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything.

Even a three-year-old knows that Nokrim is a more difficult opponent than a government official.

But did you do that to Green Forest’s second-in-command, Yeon Jeok-ha?

Of course, it must have been because he didn’t know his identity, but that alone was a sin that deserved death.

Because the green lords used to slaughter people just because they didn’t like them.

In particular, it is no exaggeration to say that Sangbang, which is weaker than Murim’s breakwater, is the rice of Green Forest.

“Can I ask what you plan to do tomorrow?”

“How are you doing?”

“Are you going to go quietly as Clerk Baek told you to do, or do the people…”

Yangil swallowed dryly.

‘Are you going to kill everyone and burn the wagon?’

“What about people?”

“no. I was just wondering if you would really leave quietly.”

“It’s a wish, but you have to grant it. We could have started a little later. Dad, don’t be in a hurry tomorrow morning. Let’s go leisurely.”

“Yes yes. Shall we prepare breakfast tomorrow?”

“It should be. After we split up, I don’t want to snoop over there in the yard.”

“Then I understand that you will prepare meals from tomorrow morning. Would you like some of this now?”

Yangil quietly held out the dry weight he was holding.

I had to eat something for dinner, so I accepted it without hesitation.

Yangil muttered as he looked into Yeonjeokha’s eyes.

“Oh, people are mean. Don’t go with it for a few days, Haniwon.”

“Live like that. If so, it’s their loss. Because I have nothing to lose.”

“This is a wise statement. He kicked his own belly. What is it, Yusei, who has one accommodation?”

Yang-Il, who was in charge of Yeon Jeok-Ha’s meal again, resented Baek Seon-Hwa’s treatment, and

was already scratching his head about how to satisfy the short-spoken senior.

***

The next morning.

As soon as the sun rose, the people of Baekhwa Sangbang moved diligently.

As usual, the porters who had no money gathered in groups of threes and fives to have a dry breakfast, while the merchants and escorts filled their stomachs with hot dosak noodles (a type of kalguksu) made by the master.

Baek Seon-hwa turned her gaze to one side.

A small carriage was seen in front of a barn with only a roof remaining.

It is the kite’s carriage.

He said he didn’t like it last night, so he seems to skip breakfast.

I was a little concerned that he, who was always well-groomed in front of me, was nowhere to be seen.

‘Am I a bit harsh? I wasn’t a bad person to be kicked out like that.’

Just in time, Baek San-wu, the sword of Sangwol in the Middle Yangdaeju, muttered.

“Today, for some reason, the practitioner is late. The person who came running at the smell of cooking.”

The escorts who knew what happened last night glanced at Baekseonhwa.

Baek Seon-hwa reluctantly opened her mouth.

“Last night I asked you to leave the upstream.”

“huh? What do you mean?”

“There was a slight clash with the escorts, so I intervened, but I hurt the atmosphere with ignorant voices…”

Baek San-wu, who had been listening to the word ‘conflict’ inadvertently, straightened up.

This is because the escorts are all warriors of Jungyangdae and are responsible for themselves.

“What is conflict and what is ruining the mood?”

Baek San-wu asked in detail, and Baek Seon-hwa confided in detail about last night.

“…so I said let’s go our separate ways in the morning. The seniors and we don’t seem to fit each other. Let’s stop seeing each other before we get even more uncomfortable.”

“…”

Baek San-wu put down his chopsticks and stood up slowly.

In a way, it’s nothing.

It’s because he accepted a stranger on his way up and then kicked him out without notice.

However, it bothered me that the warriors of Chungyang University had harassed him first.

However, he could not reprimand his subordinates for the past.

I didn’t want to make fun of my niece by reversing her decision.

“It was decided by the clerk, so I won’t say anything else. One thing I regret is that I couldn’t protect him after he fell into the arms of Mr. Baekhwa.”

Baek San-wu looked at Baek Seon-hwa with a bitter face.

If you are a merchant, you should have calculated your profit and loss before you act.

Unfortunately, however, the nephew seemed to have handled this emotionally.

It’s just that I can’t help but regret it.
