Episode 387. Sama’s, I can’t believe it (2)
After a while, Lee Dang-ji brought Hyeong-geun and his party.
“The number of people who can go inside is limited.”
Lee Dang-ji’s voice was heard outside the military tent. I could hear the murmurs of some unfamiliar people, but the atmosphere was soon to be sorted out.
Now it’s wartime, and this place can be said to be an enemy camp.
It would be natural to meet the head of this level.
“All right.”
“I am waiting for you here.”
“yes. Senator.”
Dangji Lee entered the military tent and greeted him loudly.
“I brought Confucius, who brought the gift that Master told you about.”
“Stop by.”
“yes. And this is the antidote I just made.”
After bringing Hyung-geun, Lee Dang-ji offered the fireman a solution that had not yet cooled down.
gulp.
Hearing that it was an antidote, Hyeong-geun unknowingly swallowed.
If you take that medicine, you can detoxify this poison that has already paralyzed your shoulders.
“There seem to be a lot of patients, but aren’t there not enough ingredients to make an antidote?”
“So many people are addicted to it… it just isn’t enough. If medicines are not supplied by today, many people will die.”
A conversation that deliberately emphasizes that the antidote is valuable.
The questioning of the painter and the answering of Lee Dang-ji were very well matched.
“Seeing that you have ten self-inflicted diseases, it seems that you can treat ten people. Haven’t you brought too many? It’s saving one life. It’s okay with that earlier, but isn’t this excessive?”
“I didn’t bring this as a gift, I just brought it to tell you because it was ready a little while ago. It is because much better medicinal materials were used than those used by ordinary patients.”
When Lee Dang-ji answered naturally, the painter put on a worried expression for a moment.
“In fact, isn’t that what life is all about? When you die, both the treasure and the treasure become useless. A handful of grains is as precious as life to a hungry citizen, but to a high-ranking Confucius who commanded the governor, what would that gift be so precious? From this point of view, wealth and life are all relative. It doesn’t matter to me if the precious son next door dies, but it hurts my heart to see Yellowy die in the backyard.”
“okay. Then I will return the gift and put away the medicine.”
As Lee Dang-ji tried to touch the box containing the medicine, the painter shook his head.
“no. Wait a minute.”
“yes? Ah yes.”
When Lee Dang-ji took a step back, the painter turned his head to look at Hyung-geun, who was sweating profusely.
“I saw what you brought. It was an unusual gift. It’s not that I don’t know its value. Are you from the former family?”
“no. I am a man of the Jing family, and I am called Geun.”
“Hyeong-gara… I have an acquaintance with my former family, but there is no relationship with the jing-ga. So don’t ask directly. If you came just for the purpose of canceling your contract, you had better come disguised as a soldier. But since you brought these people to show off your power, I have no choice but to ask you. Did you have anything else on your mind?”
“How can I have a different mind when I am dying of poisoning?”
“Your actions are too excessive for only trying to live on your own. If you’re going to say that, I’d rather just go back. Lastly, I ask you, do you really have no other thoughts?”
When the painter made eye contact, Hyeong-geun looked around for a moment and then let out a short sigh.
“If you hand over the surroundings for a while, I will tell you my father’s will.”
“It’s a message from the head of the family…. Is the prestige of the family of brothers great, or do you think your own family is great since I met you?”
“yes? What is that…”
“I asked if you came here to show off the greatness of your family. Do you think you are qualified enough to have a private meeting with me!”
Hyeong-geun swallowed dry saliva at the painter’s solemn question.
“It’s not like that…”
“I think I’ve paid enough for your gift just by giving me a chance to speak here. If you still want to be alone, I have nothing to hear, so stop going.”
“…..”
Hyung-geun hesitated a little without answering right away, so the painter added one more word.
“done. Seeing how worried they are, they are a family that can’t even keep their place. I have nothing more to say, so go back.”
When the fireman issued an order to celebrate guests, the vanguard stood up and stood in front of him. Hyeong-geun’s eyes widened as if the fireman’s words had hit the mark.
“It is not like that. Well, we’re still in JoJo’s hands… Let’s get rid of any ears that listen…”
Kung.
“Hey, how safe are you comparing Zhou Gong to Cao Cao?”
At that time, the avant-garde suddenly slammed the floor with a spear and reprimanded him, and Hyeong-geun’s face showed a look of embarrassment.
“sorry. Please forgive my absurd remarks for a while.”
“done. I’ll give you one last chance Say what you want to say.”
“Yes, sir. You are right. It’s true that we’ve overthrown Jojo’s power so far, but hey….. Cowardly, I don’t want to share my luck. So we want to protect our family.”
Hyung-geun replied calmly. It was a spirit worthy of a direct descendant of a fairly large family.
“If I promise Jing Jia to keep his position, what can Jing Jia do for me?”
“I will return all the goods that have been supported by Jo Seung-sang to Eosa Daebu.”
“Is that all? What a disappointment! After capturing the castle, you can burn it so that there is not a single weed left. What is the difference between supporting molding until then and having it come to me?”
The painter deliberately said things that seemed to regard Hyungga as nothing special.
some kind of provocation.
But Hyung-geun didn’t shake that much.
“If you burn it, will there be nothing left but ashes? There are still many feudal lords who are hostile to Eosa Daebu. So, there is no need to cut off one of the helping hands, right?”
“You speak quite well, though. But that alone is not a reason to preserve the family name.”
Hyung-geun thought for a moment, then sighed and said.
“I will tell you the way I came here so that I can effectively attack the castle.”
“Are you talking about Samjin Village in Gokryang-hyeon?”
Huh!
At that moment, Hyung-geun couldn’t control his surprised feelings and even inhaled vain winds.
“How did you know that?”
“I already know not only your brother’s family, but also the secret passages that the former family dug.”
Hyung-geun’s complexion turned slightly blue at the painter’s words.
In fact, the fireman didn’t know the secret passage, but he said it on purpose. Hyeong-geun’s secret passage was only discovered by the nearby Sejak when Hyeong-geun and his party suddenly appeared in Samjin Village.
“If you know the non-secret passage, why don’t you still use it?”
“If it was a trap that Jojo dug after sending soldiers thinking it was a secret passage, wouldn’t only the precious soldiers lose? That’s why I’m just watching and knowing. Of course, conversely, we anticipate that Cao Cao’s soldiers will come out through the secret passage and attack us, and we are preparing.”
gulp.
Hyeong-geun swallowed dry saliva.
If the fireman’s words are true, they almost became the target of arrows in Samjin Village.
“The only cards I’ve been allowed by the family lord are support and secret passage. If there is something you want, I will persuade my father to make it happen.”
Sweep.
The painter laughed at Hyeong-geun’s words and held out the antidote in front of him.
“When you return, I will accompany you to my person. He will deliver the words to your family head. When that happens, your family will enjoy the same power as now.”
Hyung-geun nodded as he realized what the fireman was trying to do, probably because he was a smart person.
“All right. Thank you for the grace you bestowed on behalf of our family head.”
“Intestinal stomach.”
“Your master.”
“Choose those who excel in martial arts and enter the castle with your brother Gongja.”
“I will follow your orders.”
Jang Goe immediately lowered his head and soon selected several guards.
“You take the cancellation medicine first and then go.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Hyung-geun drank the antidote from a small porcelain bottle and bowed deeply to the fireman.
After a while, Janggoe and several guards disappeared along with Hyeong-geun, and the fireman looked at the place where the generals such as Gwan-woo and Jang-bi were.
“General Guan Yu.”
“Your master.”
“When Zhang’s subordinates return, take a thousand armed men with excellent martial arts as the vanguard to secure the safety of the rearguard.”
“I take orders.”
When the fireman’s order was carried out as if he had prepared it, Gahoo expressed concern.
“Somehow, this could be Cao Cao’s ploy. It’s not that I can’t trust Zhang’s camouflage skills, but wouldn’t it be better to spend a little more time checking if it’s a trap or not before sending General Kwan?”
Gahu’s words caused the painter to worry a little more.
“What do you think of Zhuge Lieutenant?”
“It could be Jojo’s trap, as Bookmaster Gafu said. However, the current situation is too cunning to be called a trap, and if it is an opportunity, you may miss the timing by trying to check it one more time.”
“What do you think of the military?”
“I am more inclined to the opinion of bookkeeper Gafu. Jojo is like a rat cornered right now. Even a cat can bite you if you’re not careful.”
“Are you standing?”
The painter asked the opinions of various bookkeepers afterwards, but Seo Seo’s opinion was different, and Sima Hui’s opinion was different.
It’s a golden opportunity, but it’s such a situation that you might miss the time if you check once more whether it’s a trap that could be a trap.
It was difficult to make an easy decision.
“May I say something to you?”
Then, Sima Yi cautiously stepped forward.
The painter hadn’t even asked a question because Sima Yi hadn’t yet become that shy compared to the other bookkeepers.
“Ugh! Which safe?”
Gafu opened his eyes, and the painter waved his hand.
“This is a very important time, so I’d like to hear even one more person’s opinion. Say Sima Yi.”
“Your master. My older brother Confucius, whom I visited a while ago, is actually someone I saw a lot when I was in Cao Cao’s camp.”
“okay! If you’ve seen it a lot, it probably wasn’t a small figure.”
“Your family is a family that did not spare any aid to Yuan Shao even when Yuan Shao occupied the old castle, but when the owner of the castle changed to Cao Cao, he quickly changed his stance and has maintained that power until now.”
“You’re saying that Shiryu’s eyes are pretty good!”
“That’s right. Since they are such people, it would be right to anticipate that the owner of the business will change to the main gong again and find a way to live in advance.”
“You mean this opportunity isn’t a trap laid by Jojo?”
“yes. If it’s a trap, Captain Zhang can be dangerous, but where on this battlefield wouldn’t be dangerous? If it’s a trap anyway, whoa… Camouflage Jang is abandoned in enemy camps, so I think it would be more effective to send General Gwan Woo and his generals by leaving a moment or two behind rather than waiting for his subordinates to return. And at the same time, if you attack the castle without waiting for the enemy to move, even if the enemy sets a trap there, you won’t be able to focus on that only, so either side will definitely benefit greatly.”
The painter listened to Sima Yi’s words and thought about it.
In a way, Sima Yi was like a hot potato that was hot to eat and a waste to spit out. However, it could not be denied that he was an outstanding strategist who historically put Zhuge Liang in trouble several times.
One could dream of a Sima dynasty, as it did for Cao Cao later on, but right now, the most appropriate accountability was clear to hear.
“good night. General Guan Yu.”
“Your master.”
“As a result of synthesizing the opinions of various bookmakers, I decided that now is an opportunity. Immediately take a thousand brave armed men and follow Chang’s back to secure the safety of the second team.”
“I take orders.”
After much consideration, the painter gave the order and Guan-wu responded loudly, and the bookkeepers, including Ga-hu, no longer objected.
Afterwards, the fire department discussed with the bookkeepers how to conduct a full-scale attack on the castle and gave orders to the longevity.

Janggoe, who came out of the secret passage following Hyeong-geun, nodded his head knowing that the place they came out was a large barn.
“A distance worth walking half-time! It looks like you put in a lot of effort for a long time?”
“Since the world made me find my own way to live, how can I not put in the effort?”
Hyeong-geun answered and turned his shoulders around.
I wonder if the antidote was really right, but my shoulder, which had not been able to move well due to paralysis, was stiff, but it was working well.
“There are a lot of rats in the barn, but I still only see one here.”
“yes? Where are the mice?”
When Hyeong-geun made a puzzled expression at Jang-goe’s sudden sound of a mouse, one of Jang-goe’s subordinates hung an arrow on the string of a bow and shot it straight through the window.
‘why?’
‘no way?’
peeing. hooked
“Keugh!”
A moaning sound was heard from where the arrow flew, and a black shadow hurriedly ran away.
“Oh no! Chase!”
“I take orders.”
Janggoe’s men and Hyeong-geun’s men hurriedly ran after the black doll.
For an instant, the old man’s expression darkened.
