Episode 843. Despite his father’s disapproval of the frog in the well,
Koo Myung-hyeon, who was obsessed with inferiority complex and jealousy, did not break his stubbornness.
“it’s okay. I won’t overdo it, so please let me go.”
“ha! Do not allow me to say that you mean it. Don’t tell anyone until Noh-kyu’s row is announced.”
With his father’s permission, he repeatedly expressed his position just in case.
“I will go to Geumlindae Daeju. Any other seat is meaningless.”
“Know. Stop and see.”
When Goo Myeong-hyeon left, the ark of Koo Bon-woong called in No-gyu.
Then, I asked Noh-gyu’s intention about the return of Geumrin Daeju, Myeong-hyeon Koo.
“What kind of wind blew, the third asked to go to Geumrindaeju. Anyway, since you’re in charge of the guild, I’d like to hear your thoughts on that.”
Nogyu secretly examined the complexion of the ark.
Seeing that the old ark referred to Gu Myeong-hyeon as ‘the third’, it was clear that he was saying it in private.
However, according to the owner of Geumwa Sangbang, there can be no difference between public and private affairs.
No, in some ways it is harder to disobey private words.
Just like now.
“Originally, the third Confucius is the Golden Prince, so it is only natural that he go out. Considering the future of the upper direction, I think it is better for Gu Dae-ju to step forward rather than Waryong Swordsman. Waryong Swordsman is a guest, but Gu Dae-ju is a mainstay.”
The wise nogyu sounded pleasant in his master’s ears.
There is nothing more foolish than blaming the master’s son in front of his master.
“also! Please leave your thoughts. Listening to you, it was nothing to worry about. Yes, considering the future of the upper direction, it is better to have the third person in charge rather than the customer. But if Waryong Swordsman is in the seat of Geumrin Daeju, wouldn’t the third position become ambiguous?”
“Even the Waryong Swordsman knows that he is the temporary lord. If you really care about him, you can make him your adviser at Geumlindae.”
“Oh oh! torture. great. If it’s torture, even Waryong Swordsman won’t take it unpleasantly, right?”
“It’s a higher position than Daeju in terms of appearance, so I won’t be offended. On the contrary, he might like it because he is relieved of the responsibility of being the owner of Geumrin University.”
“Right. If not, you will appoint Waryong Swordsman as an advisor to Geumrindae and restore the third to Daeju. Merchants might think it strange if I go ahead and say this and that.”
“All right. I will meet with Waryong Swordsman and ask for his understanding.”
“And I’m just saying this out of nostalgia. Put human life above wealth and act accordingly.”
Originally, Bon-woong Koo is a person who prioritizes ‘wealth’ over ‘life’.
However, this time, I was worried that Noh-kyu’s hang-su would drive Goo Myeong-hyeon into a dangerous task, so I tried it.
There is no way that Noh-gyu, who has served Bon-woong Koo for a long time, does not know that.
“Don’t worry. Even if it is not, I plan to work with the idea that ‘people come first’.”
Goo Bon-woong nodded with a satisfied expression at his promise.
Seeing Nogyu, the head of the guild, say that, my heart felt much lighter.
***
The first day of March.
After many twists and turns, the upper troupe of Geumwa Sangbang departed from Luoyang.
It was a middle-class upper class with twenty wagons, fifty porters, and twenty merchants.
Ku Myeong-hyeon, who was in the lead, glanced behind him with a dismayed face.
Although it is said to be torture, perhaps because of the strained relationship with him, the smoke bag was at the rear.
‘Smoke bag. that’s your place Please follow me until I finish the ascent.’
It was for this that he returned to the top in a precarious situation.
Some may curse at you for being selfish.
However, he thought that having a good father was also his ability.
It’s because, once you know it, talent, appearance, or family are not much different.
Suddenly, Gu Myeong-hyeon asked the deputy manager Oh Gye-joong.
“Ogyejung. What kind of person do you think Hyeonmubaek is?”
“He seems like a taciturn person for his age.”
“I was asking what your personality is like.”
“He just seemed like a nice guy. It is said that it is the official position of Yeongamugwan, but it doesn’t show that at all.”
“Stupid bastard. There’s nothing special for Yeongamugwan, so even if you want to show it off, you can’t. I don’t even know where Goseongchon is located.”
“Whoops! It does.”
Oh Gye-joong met Gu Myeong-hyeon’s taste.
In fact, it was not wrong to say that Yeongamwan had nothing to do with it.
“If it were not for my father, I would have established a faction instead of following the guild.”
“Iknow, right. Since Dae-ju was from Uicheonmun, he would have succeeded even if he established a school in Nakyang.”
“I know yeah! If so, my disciples would have been at Geumrindae by now.”
Oh Gye-jung responded to Gu Myeong-hyeon’s bravado.
“Why don’t you start a sect right now? If the ark supports us, we will soon settle down.”
“After this trip, I have to seriously think about it. My students are a hundred times better than hiring strangers. is not it?”
“Of course not. If so, am I the owner of Geumlin University?”
“Things like that happen, too. why? Do you like my seat too?”
“Wolbong doesn’t rise when you become Daejoo.”
“Ay snob. Still, I’d rather have someone who looks like you on the inside than anyone else.”
Goo Myeong-hyeon secretly compared the smoke bag and said.
Oh Gye-jung, who did not immediately understand his meaning, asked.
“why? Are there any sneaky people out there?”
“Isn’t there someone who is trying to take a step forward with the falsehood of the past?”
“Ah…”
Oh Gye-jung reflexively turned his head backwards.
At the rear of the escort ranks, I saw a dragon swordsman following with a calm expression.
“Did Waryong Swordsman have his intentions in Geumwa Sangbang?”
“If that’s not the case, why would you volunteer as an escort in a dangerous time like today?”
“Is that so…”
“Since Song Joong-moon was from Yeongamugwan, he must have boasted of being a goldsmith. If you were the ruler of the kingdom, wouldn’t you want to push your disciples into the golden house?”
“okay.”
Oh Gye-jung agreed with Dae-ju’s words.
It is because the goal of the military attache is to push the disciples to the upper side.
In the case of Daesaebang, the scale was so large that several clans and military officials were involved.
“By the way, Daeju-nim doesn’t seem to like Yeongwanju?”
“I can see clearly, but I pretended not to. Don’t you act like you’re some kind of great person? If you come because you need something, you have to crawl yourself. is not it?”
It was strange even after I said it, but Koo Myung-hyeon asked for consent.
Only then did Oh Gye-jung know why Dae-ju disliked the dragon swordsman.
Waryongswordsman didn’t cringe, so it seemed to bother him.
Objectively, Waryong Swordsman was right to bow.
Gu Myeong-hyeon is the third son of the ark, and he is also a disciple of Uicheonmun.
Therefore, it is only right that Waryong Swordsman, the official of a minor military officer, caters to him.
If you want to have a good relationship with Geumwa Sangbang, you should have done that.
However, even from his own perspective, Waryong Swordsman completely ignored Gu Dae-ju.
He didn’t come to Dae-joo Goo to say hello, nor did he flatter him.
On the day I was introduced as a temporary landlord, it was over when I shared Tong Seongmyeong with Daeju Koo.
Thinking that far, he nodded.
“you’re right. People are too stiff. Even though this place has nothing to do with the year.”
“Well, because it is. So can you like me? I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t have that case. Rather the opposite. I hate people who don’t have cases.”
“Ugh! I didn’t even know that, and I wondered why the Lord is like that.”
“Why is this? I’m not the kind of person who argues for no reason.”
“That’s right. Anyway, I know the Lord’s heart well. I will serve you better.”
“I am still doing well. Just do it.”
“Yes yes.”
Oh Gye-joong courted Goo Myung-hyeon as if he would take out his liver.
‘If you need something, you have to crawl on your own’ because it has been an eternal truth.
***
Early March.
Ha Nam.
release.
A wide field spread out in front of the top of the golden statue crossing the Kano River.
It was a place with a clear view, so the escorts and merchants were quite relieved.
In addition, since it was already in the opening area, there were many people going to and from Guando even in the middle of winter.
As the cart’s wheels rattled over the stones, Heartache, who had been dozing next to the coachman, opened his eyes.
“what!”
Then the coachman hurriedly explained.
“It’s nothing, old man. A stone must have been caught in the wheel for a moment.”
Feeling embarrassed for no reason, he quietly changed the topic.
“Is the opening still far away?”
“Half a day more and the city will come out.”
“It’s boring, it’s boring. You can’t do this either.”
Heartache shook his head.
It was driving me crazy to sit there all day, staring at the horse’s hindquarters.
Yeonjeokha, who was lying on top of the luggage, said a word.
“What do you think a person who sleeps all day can’t do?”
“Confucius, squat down and take a nap. crazy A person like Confucius, who lies with his arms and legs stretched out like that, does not know this feeling.”
“Come up here. Who wants to sit there?”
“It’s too small for two people to use, so I won’t go. Even Confucius should go comfortably.”
“Then don’t doze off like a sick chicken and drive a horse. The coachman will die of envy of Old Sim?”
Then, the heartache glared at the coachman.
“Are you jealous of me?”
“Oh no. I know my fraction well.”
“A guy like that drives a wagon like this? I mean don’t make it rattle.”
“Yes yes.”
The coachman felt unfair, but did not throw up.
I got used to it while living together, but I didn’t have the courage to talk back to Gucheonnodo.
It’s when heartache urges the coachman for no reason.
Yeonjeokha said abruptly.
“come.”
“Are you coming?”
“Aura similar to the ones who killed Cheolsan is coming. By the way, are there a lot of numbers?”
“Gongja. This time, why don’t you catch some and ask who is behind it?”
“Is that so?”
Yeonjeokha raised his upper body and looked around.
Heartache followed him, but nothing could be seen in the open field.
“Are you coming now?”
“When did you see me talking nonsense?”
“It’s not like that, but I said it because I couldn’t see it too much.”
“I can’t see it because it’s 20 li (about 8 km) away. wait.”
“Oops! Have you been checking that far?”
“Even if I don’t have to work hard, I can feel it because it’s so reversed. The more you think about it, the weirder they are. What are they doing that makes them so energetic? The world is so wide.”
“Confucius, get some rest today.”
“why?”
“It’s because if Confucius uses his hand, he will die. I’ll take a look today.”
“Tsk tsk! Who is looking at whose hand? About the frog in the well.”
Yeonjeokha clicked his tongue.
It is true that heartache came back stronger in the Savior, but strength is relative.
Among these mysterious monsters that recently appeared, some were stronger than Heart Pain.
Just looking at the guys I met in Mt. Nang and Mt. Juk, that’s the case.
Even the energy that was approaching now was the best of all the energy I had ever encountered.
“Yes? Did you just call me a frog in a well? A frog in a well to me, who has traveled all over the world and even to Kuju? He jokes too much.”
A burning heart murmured.
Is it a frog not in a well to the world’s nine thousand nodo?
No matter how much he didn’t talk nonsense, it didn’t seem like that.
