Chapter 386. Sama-ui, I can’t believe it (1)
Nam-ho ordered his confidant to secretly follow Hyeong-geun’s group, and then packed up the surgical instruments and headed for Jojo’s place.
‘There was no sign of nervousness on the face of the guy who was treating Hyeong-geun, who was being mentioned as the next head of household. There must be a secret passage leading out.’
He is the son of the owner he serves, and he is being talked about as the next influential head of the household.
When such a person was poisoned with an indecipherable poison, Gaui could not be so calm.
It is possible because there is a way to treat it.
‘If you follow them, there will be a secret passage. I’ll have to run that way too.’
Rep. Nam-ho felt annoyance welling up inside him as he got closer to Jojo.
In fact, since I’ve opened the heads of many people, perhaps Jojo’s headache can be cured.
If he treats Jojo’s headache himself, his reputation will exceed that of the fireman, and if Jojo wins the war against the fireman later on, he may rise to a position of recognition, albeit for real.
In that case, the emperor and Cao Cao were confident enough to make them their puppets, but unfortunately, now the possibility of Cao Cao’s defeat is getting stronger, and Cao Cao was not confident in making the cancellation that Cao Cao was told to make.
“Welcome.”
While I was organizing my thoughts, I entered Jojo’s residence before I knew it.
When Jojo, who was rubbing his temple, half-reported, Congressman Nam-ho hurriedly lowered his head.
“How is your headache?”
“Since I received treatment earlier, I have improved a lot, but another troublesome incident has occurred and it is getting worse again.”
“Can I put the spit on you?”
“no. Acupuncture can be done later, so hurry up and treat the author.”
Rep. Nam-ho looked at the road, which was tied to the bed and his anxious eyes were rolling.
Bun-gil seemed to have a lot to say, but Congressman Nam-ho gave him a determined look.
“Drink this and get a good night’s sleep, and the headache that has plagued you for a long time will be gone.”
“Senator, but my headache is…”
“Uh huh! What do you say so much? Come on, have a drink. Don’t you think you’ll fix me? Do you really want to die from suffering from a headache?”
In the eyes of Congressman Nam-ho, he was young, and Bun-gil gritted his teeth.
He seemed to be thinking about something for a while, but then he let out a short sigh and nodded.
“All right. Congressman. Please… cure my headache.”
“Don’t worry, go ahead and drink this.”
“yes.”
As Bun-gil drank the anesthetic, Nam-ho let out a sigh of relief.
If Bungill pretended to be crazy and broke the relationship with himself, he could have run away from this spot.
‘I thought the bastard’s liver was falling!’
He thought of opening and closing his head, but in Nam-ho’s mind, Bun-gil was no longer his confidant.
After a while, when Bun-gil completely lost consciousness, Congressman Nam-ho neatly shaved off one side of Bun-gil with a razor, then split his scalp and pricked the blood vessels with a pharynx. Then, when the white skull was exposed, he took out an awl and a hammer with grooves like a drill.
‘Ho! Indeed, it is exactly the same as when the painter opened the head of the sick man who had fallen off his horse! There’s obviously a connection after all.’
Jojo’s eyes twinkled as he watched Namho’s surgery.
If the operation was successful and the soldier’s headache went away, he would have to undergo surgery himself.
Puck puck puck…..
After the hammering was over, Congressman Namho moved his hands busily as the skull fell into pieces.
Although Jojo was watching from the sidelines, he couldn’t have the same view as Congressman Namho, so he couldn’t tell what he was doing in Beongil’s head.
Rep. Nam-ho cut off the head of the boon-gil, so he hurriedly picked up the skull fragments and fitted them into the slots.
Then, the split scalp was closed and stitched with a needle.
After completing this series of steps, Jojo’s eyes widened.
‘It’s only been a while… It’s much faster than the painter did!’
According to his own memory, the painter must have performed the surgery to open the head in about two hours. He opened his head and invested that much time.
However, Congressman Nam-ho opened and closed his head similarly, but the time invested after the opening was extremely short.
I had some doubts, and on the other hand, I also thought that he might be a better lawmaker than a painter.
“Is the operation over already?”
“Your win. Whoa~”
Rep. Nam-ho slumped down even in front of Jojo, expressing with all his body that he was very tired right now. Then the light of suspicion in Jojo’s eyes disappeared.
“Then the soldier’s headache is gone now?”
“I have removed the source of the disease in my head, so if nothing special happens, I will be just like a normal person.”
“Heh heh, I’ve been a little suspicious of Nam’s congressman until now, but today I know that he’s much better than the fireman who spreads only the false rumor that he is the most trustworthy person in the world.”
“I am grateful that the Prime Minister treats me highly, but I cannot yet say that I am better than a painter.”
“Is it because the antidote hasn’t been made yet?”
“There’s an antidote… and another surgery, so I’ve never thought I’d be worse off than him, but I wouldn’t say it’s better.”
When Rep. Nam-ho showed a humble appearance, a satisfied smile appeared on Jojo’s lips.
Although the soldier named Bungil hadn’t woken up yet, this operation alone had already proven that his medical skills were to some extent.
From my experience so far, there were many real exhausts who knew how to humble themselves like this rather than assert themselves.
“It was a lot of work. Please rest a little.”
“All right.”
After a while, Congressman Nam-ho bowed and left, and Jojo looked at the road that hadn’t woken up yet.
‘After the operation, even the bandages wrapped around his head are the same as those of the fireman. Even though he was obviously related to the fireman, when he talked about the fireman, he spoke as if he were a complete stranger. He also has the heart to become my subject.’
If Bun-gil woke up and said that the headache really went away, he thought of leaving his head as well.
From Jojo’s point of view, Rep. Nam-ho was a new alternative to fill the vacancy of the fireman who became his enemy.
* * *
‘He didn’t even know how to do it! What riches and glory will I enjoy by fixing your hair?’
Wow!
On the way back to Uicheong after leaving Jojo’s residence, Rep. Nam-ho spat and vomited the irritation boiling inside.
Even just looking at the atmosphere of the soldiers in the castle, it was possible to see how deeply defeated they had become.
If the fireman captured this castle, Jojo would be the one who might run away immediately.
However, in such a situation, Cao Cao called himself to the prison and had the soldier’s head treated.
No matter how much the head hurts, now is the time to call the scribes and generals to discuss the plan and run in all directions to boost the morale of the soldiers.
‘You’ve already eaten too much!’
After returning to Uicheong, Rep. Nam-ho waited for the confidant he had attached behind Hyeong-geun’s party to return.
“Mr.”
At night, the henchmen returned.
“So, do you have anything to pick up?”
Representative Nam-ho calmly talked with his confidant in the middle of the hospital bed where soldiers were grunting or screaming.
It seemed like it would be nice to go to a place that is quiet and away from the eyes of the people around you and have a conversation privately, but if you do that, you can be seen by JoJo’s eyes, so on the contrary, you have a conversation in a noisy place.
In fact, the patients didn’t even care about the conversation between the two. All she could do was complain about her pain as much as possible and try her best to get treated first.
“It was as expected, Senator.”
“Heh heh, there are also those who have it… add it.”
“But I couldn’t go inside the warehouse.”
“Of course there must have been guards, right?”
“yes. However, their skills seemed to be above average.”
“Was it to the point where you couldn’t handle it?”
“I haven’t tried it, but if I and everyone else jumps in, it might be possible.”
“It’s not like that. What do you do if possible? It would be a waste of time if the rest of my brother’s family came too.”
“I’m dumb, so I can’t think of any other way other than force.”
“The existence of such a door is something that should not be known to Jojo even from the position of the brother-in-law, so there is plenty of room for negotiation.”
“ah! okay.”
“I’ll write you a letter, so go see Confucius Hyeong-geun and come.”
“This Confucius? Wouldn’t it be better to be a gaju?”
“It is a heavier position than you think. In a dizzy situation like now, even if things go wrong, Jojo will take the side of the head of the household. Will you take care of me?”
“ah! okay.”
“From Confucius Hyeong-geun’s point of view, there is nothing good about being noisy, so he will try to handle things in secret.”
“All right.”
After a while, Congressman Nam-ho wrote a letter, and his confidant secretly visited Hyung-ga-jang the next day.
* * *
No matter how much one tries to hide a person with a noble status, there will be a mark. Even more so, if he had no intention of hiding it, and rather had brought precious gifts while being escorted by military commanders, he would have no choice but to guess the identity of the other party unless he was an idiot.
The fact that Hyung-geun came to the military medical school for treatment was immediately reported to the fireman.
“I wanted to get my arm healed by offering this gift to Master.”
When Lee Dang-ji held out the gift box, the painter was slightly surprised to see the contents inside.
In a situation where the lives of the people were devastated by the war, this kind of treasure was not something anyone could have.
“Did you treat me?”
“I’m in the process of making a cancellation right now, so I asked you to wait a moment.”
“If you come with escorts to a military base where two million troops are stationed and ask for treatment, you must not be an ordinary person. Any guesses?”
“I didn’t say it myself, but I think there are two families that can wield this much prestige in business, and if it’s not the older brother’s family, it’s the former family.”
“Hmm…that sounds interesting. Either one might have what we want. It wouldn’t hurt to see you once. Bring them to me.”
“All right.”
“Ah, if you’ve made a cancellation, bring plenty of it.”
“yes? Is there only one poisoned person who looks like a scion?”
“Is there not another poisoned person in the city? Bring an amount that can heal about 10 people so that you can use it to create a precious bond.”
“All right.”
When Lee Dang-ji left, a small smile appeared on the painter’s lips.
It would be much easier to destroy the castle if he could only find out the secret passage by teasing and appeasing the opponent.
“It seems that the main character caught a bigger fish than expected.”
Seeing Zhuge Liang’s admiration, the painter nodded.
“Perhaps heaven is giving me a chance to end this war quickly.”
“It’s an opportunity given by the heavens of the Duke of Zhou, but if it’s an older brother or a former family, he’s probably someone who has a close relationship with Cao Cao, so he won’t open his mouth easily.”
When Gahoo sneaked in and expressed concern, the painter responded with a light smile.
“It is a law that people who are originally value their lives more. A person who clearly knows that he is behind enemy lines but has come to live for himself, is there anything more important than his own life? Rather than that, you had better think of a way to coax them.”
“Have you already thought of something?”
Zhuge Liang asked as if he was having fun.
It was clear that he already read what he was thinking. A really great person. To be able to enjoy this kind of time with such a person…
Apart from the war, it was very enjoyable.
“Don’t you already know?”
Only then did Gahu look at Zhuge Liang. Then he realized something and smiled.
