Chapter 374. Are you Sama’s? (1)
Ok-ju threatened, but the man’s expression became much lighter.
Just by removing the knife that was already on his neck, he could see through the other person’s heart.
“Since I was young, I have read the scriptures as well as anyone else, so please ask me anything.”
“What do you mean, if you fulfill your defenses, you will be multiplied?”
“It means you will be resentful if you act only for profit.”
“Oh, you read quite a bit. Then, what does it mean to say that it is sacred, that it is unreasonable, that it is investigation, and that it is disabled?”
“It means not talking about things that have already happened, not overlooking things that have already happened, and not blaming mistakes or faults in the past.”
Seeing the man answer right away without hesitation after asking a question, Ok-ju admired inwardly.
In fact, it is not a big deal, but in an era when the majority of the people do not know the letters properly, this could be said to be a student who has been reading the lines for a really long time.
I didn’t feel the need to ask one more question.
“I can see that he is a student since he answered without any hesitation. But if you are a student, why are you leaving Cao Cao’s camp and going this way?”
“As I said earlier, it was to escape the wrath of war.”
“Cao Cao is the country’s chief minister, so if you served him, you would have been able to enter the government?”
“Actually, I was already admitted to the dormitory on someone’s recommendation. However, after experiencing what he was like, it was judged that he was not a great person to stay for a long time, and he was leaving here.”
Ok-ju nodded her head at the confidence of the man.
“hmm! what is your name?”
“Sama’s.”
“what? It’s Sama’s! Are you really saying that you are Samaui?”
When Ok-ju asked, surprised, Sima Yi’s eyes widened.
The reason he told the truth about his name was that if he searched his chest, he would find a hopae. If I knew how to run away, I would have made a fake hopae, but I couldn’t because I ran away in a hurry.
“exactly. I’m Sama’s. But why are you so surprised?”
“Heh, that’s absurd. Aren’t you the one who received the rank of the 6th class protester not too long ago in recognition of the credit for causing the Gyoju and Yangju to quarrel?”
“How do you know that?”
Sima Yi’s lips trembled in surprise.
Even if there was Sejak in Jojo’s camp, it belonged to a considerable secret for the opponent in front of him to know.
“You don’t need to know how I know that. It’s weird anyway. A guy who even received the official rank of the Siwirang is running away disguised as a merchant…”
Seureung.
Ok-joo took out the sword she had saved and placed it on Sima Yi’s neck.
“If you were a student with talent, I was going to take you to the governor, but you’ll have to drag me in and interrogate me.”
Interrogation will tell you a lot about what is going on in Cao Cao’s camp.
“Wait, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“Don’t you know why you’re doing this? What are you doing? Tie this guy up.”
“Your general.”
Sima Yi’s complexion turned pale as the soldiers rushed in and tied him up with ropes.
“Look. It seems that I misunderstood something. It is true that I was promoted to the post by Seung-sang Jo, but it is also true that I was disappointed in him and left the territory and ran away.”
“What’s wrong with a guy who’s been given a government job and runs away?”
“That’s because Cao Cao’s army suffered a lot because of my plan. That’s why I run away to live.”
“What damage did you do?”
Sima Yi’s mind was spinning like a top.
He had to find a way to live somehow, so he answered quickly, but he opened his mouth after weighing back and forth to see what was advantageous and unfavorable to him.
“I came up with a plan to send the cavalry first and shake the fireman’s camp. However, the tactic did not work, and the 10,000 cavalrymen who sent out were all killed. That is why I was running away.”
“If the plan you came up with is acceptable… wouldn’t there be a lot to gain from torturing you?”
“If you torture me, I will not tell you the truth even if it takes my life. And if I tell lies, you will suffer more damage. So please let me go like this.”
“I heard that you read the lines, and your tongue is as smooth as if it was oiled. What to do with you will be judged by more intelligent bookmakers than me. Take them all and put them in prison.”
“Your general.”
When Ok-ju nodded, his subordinates arrested Sima-ui and the rest of the peddlers and took them to the military camp.
* * *
Imprisoned in the military prison, Sima Yi looked around with a half-fazed expression.
Hwabu’s scouts killed those who were certain to be Jojo’s scouts, but those whose judgment was ambiguous, such as Samaui and merchants, were all caught and imprisoned.
There were about a thousand people who were imprisoned like that.
Sima Yi was caught in the gap between them.
Clearly, until Ok-ju discovered and caught her identity, she thought that if she solved the information she knew, she could be used as a fireman’s schemer.
However, when he was arrested, he found that there were about 200 students similar to him in the same situation.
And students who must have read the line were going around and recommending conversion to become soldiers of the fire department.
Many of the captives accepted their invitation and converted, were given proper meals and received training, but those who did not were said to have been eating rice balls for several days.
‘If I don’t turn into a soldier, am I in a position to be driven into an arrow shaft?’
Sima Yi shoved the coarse rice balls that did not easily go down his throat, and called out to the soldiers guarding the prison in a loud voice.
“Look here, Okab. I’m a bookmaker who saw big things in Jojo’s camp. So get me out and take me to your superiors.”
“You bastard, at least two more days will have to pass before you can be in the interview order, so stop talking nonsense and wait.”
“If you treat me like this, you will regret it. So either call the commanding officer or take me to him.”
“Did this bastard eat a rice ball and get sick? If you wait, you will wait. There are so many words.”
The soldier snorted, lifted his spear, and struck the metal bars of the jade until his ears hurt, then went away ignoring Sima Yi.

“What part of the main author do you pay attention to?”
Eulji tilted his head as if he did not understand.
From his point of view, Sima Yi was no different from an ordinary bookkeeper. Of course, the part he did in the church was something to be recognized, but other than that, nothing outstanding was visible.
If it was a person like this, it would be normal to take it down and use it as a low-level tactician, and then have others monitor it and examine its skills.
But this time, for some reason, the fireman himself came forward to look after him.
What’s even more interesting is that it’s not for the sake of moderation, but it’s being confined to prison like others and treating it disrespectfully.
“The fight between Gyoju and Yangju was instigated by us, but even so, it was not an easy fight. But the author made it possible. Even so, Jojo ran away because of the last incident… Isn’t it fun?”
Sama’s.
The painter thought that he was a person who was too good to be thrown away, even though he was kept with him.
Unlike history, it doesn’t look like that, but…
Anyway, isn’t it one of the best rebels of our time? Furthermore, in the history books, he was a genius who put Zhuge Liang in trouble with a ruse.
“So I wanted to test whether I would accept or reject it.”
“But the principal. This is the one who received the official rank of the 6th rank. Wouldn’t it be better to at least raise the level a bit?”
“I didn’t have that thought… but seeing it, I’m a little worried. First of all, I want to see his bottom. Isn’t it true that people reveal their bottom only when they undergo severe hardships?”
Eulji nodded quietly.
“If that’s what the Duke of Zhou wants… shall we make it a little more humble?”
“Can you make me a little lower than me?”
“If you ask for permission, I can give you a true bottom experience.”
“Then do it. After seeing your humanity, you will decide whether to reject it or accept it.”
“All right.”
A small smile crept across Eulji’s lips.
Ever since the army entered the precincts of Giju, the atmosphere in the territory was brittle like a knife. In the meantime, a very small entertainment street was created.
‘All the people the Duke of Zhou was interested in were extraordinary, but is that guy named Sima Yi also extraordinary? Well, looking at what he did in Jojo’s camp, he’s no ordinary guy.’

‘Have I become a fodder for arrows now?’
Sima Yi looked down at the crude spear and shield in his hands with a devastated expression.
As a nobleman, he read numerous scriptures, but he also practiced martial arts in his spare time, so he immediately knew how bad these weapons were.
Kwaang iron grung.
Sima Yi threw away the spear and shield he was given and shouted at the soldier who gave them.
“Do you really not know who I am? Or are you pretending not to know?”
“Where is this madman now!”
When one of the soldiers tried to step out, glancing at Sima Yi, someone who looked like a superior stopped him.
“Stop stepping back.”
“Your county.”
“It doesn’t matter who you are now. The spear and shield are important weapons that will protect your life when fighting the enemy. So pick it up right now.”
“Heh, I don’t need a weapon like this, and I have no intention of carrying one. Come on, take me to your superior.”
“Oh… your prestige is so high. I get it. What to do if you don’t need it. You will have to fight enemies without weapons. Collect the spear and shield he threw away.”
“yes.”
Sima Yi sneered and stiffened his head, although the soldier took the spear and shield he had been given.
“Are you guys making a big mistake?”
“You will know who made the mistake. Enemies also came out of the castle and built a youngchae within a day’s distance, so a battle will take place tomorrow. I hope you are still alive then.”
“what? What are you talking about? Will there be a fight tomorrow? There’s still a few days left…”
“I don’t need to answer your question. What are you doing? Without training these fools.”
“yes. what are these guys doing? If you want to live, lift up straight from the window. Raise your shield face to face!”
Sima Yi stood at an awkward position because he had neither a spear nor a shield. However, the soldiers did not leave him alone and rolled him.
Sima Yi resisted several times, and after being beaten, shed countless tears and rolled along with the others.
‘Sipper what is this? How did this happen to me?’
* * *
While Sima Yi was rolling on the floor and being abused, the painter smiled wryly at the sight of Cao Cao’s portrait in the distance.
“It was supposed to be like this in the end, but… I can’t help it being complicated.”
“What are you thinking so intently about?”
A flowerpot approached the fireman’s side.
“I’m glad to see Jojo, but I also feel like I’m going to get angry.”
“Are you saying you’re glad to see the enemy who killed your brother?”
“Isn’t that what you mean, brother? But the help we received from Joe is by no means small.”
“Yeah, it’s not like I don’t know that. However, Jojo is now our enemy. What would you do if you met and talked? The guy will definitely stick with his excuses. You haven’t sent an apology even once until now!”
“Because I would have known that my anger wouldn’t be relieved by a vicarious apology from the god of death.”
“joy! Anyway, I don’t think it is. You speak of the grace we have received, but the grace you have given them is more than doubled. What will return to such an ungrateful bastard will be the blade of severe punishment.”
“I know. How could I have a different mind? But I still want to share a few words with you.”
The pot looked into his brother’s eyes and nodded.
“Because the relationship before becoming enemies was not shallow… I got it. If that’s what you mean, do it. Instead of the vanguard, send an envoy to propose the number of people and meet in the center.”
When the pot went down with a disapproving expression, the painter called his subordinate and sent an envoy to Jojo’s camp.
