Episode 393. what? dead? (2)
There was no way that the spleen would come running back and report the death of only one soldier when an uncountable number of people were already dying.
It must have been an important soldier, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember who that soldier was.
“The soldier whose head was treated by Congressman Nam Ho the other day.”
“ah! The soldier who was said to have the same headache as me!”
Only then did Jojo understand why the spleen was making such a fuss over the death of a soldier named Beongil.
“yes. That’s right. main ball.”
“So how did you die?”
He could have been hit by an enemy arrow or stabbed by an enemy soldier’s spear.
“He said his head hurt like it would explode… and he died suddenly vomiting blood.”
“what? Did you suddenly vomit blood? Are you not hurt?”
Jojo, who asked back, and the bookkeepers around all had similarly puzzled expressions.
Didn’t it be said that Nam-ho opened the head of Bun-gil, treated it, and removed the source of the disease?
“Beongil had been requested by the governor in the past, so instead of participating in the fight, he was assigned to the medical corps to help the lawmakers. So up until now, he was safe and sound, but after entering this castle, he suddenly complained of a headache, and he vomited blood and died.”
“To vomit blood and die for no reason! If I had been in the medical corps, the members would have made a diagnosis. What did they say?”
“Most of the members said that the symptoms they showed right before their death were those of a typical headache patient, and that he must have died of a headache.”
“What did Congressman Namho say?”
Jojo’s mouth trembled as he asked.
“Rep. Nam-ho was not in the medical unit at the time, so I couldn’t ask.”
“Call Nam-ho right away and find out the cause of death.”
“Since we have already dispatched people to find Nam-ho, the Duke of Ju will soon be able to hear the answer he wants.”
Jojo tilted his head for a moment.
It was a bit strange that the spleen had already released someone to find Congressman Namho.
“Rep. Nam-ho always has to be at the Medical Center or the Military Medical College, but what are you talking about even freeing people to find them?”
“According to the lawmakers, when Bun-gi complained of a headache, the first person to take a pulse was Congressman Nam-ho, but he hasn’t been seen since.”
“What?”
Jojo jumped up from his seat involuntarily.

“Sea Pearl! I thought I would be fine because the surgery went well, but suddenly I’m showing the symptoms before I fell behind!”
A face tanned, as if he had done a long hard job, in clothes worn by a villager.
The coveted white dye had changed to sparse black dye, as if it had been eaten by a rat, and the color of her hair had also changed from snow-white hair to mixed black hair.
The only thing we could guess was that this old man, sandwiched between the villagers and women repairing the wall, was Namho Clinic only by the bag carrying surgical instruments slung over his shoulder.
Rep. Nam-ho instinctively sensed danger and prepared to run away when Beon-gil, who pretended to treat himself with his head open, suddenly felt a headache after escaping to this castle.
In fact, it was a car that had been preparing to run away from a long time ago, but was unable to move it because there were many eyes on it.
Anyway, when he learned that Bun-gil was going to die, he had no choice but to run away, which he had been putting off.
In the past, most of the patients who had opened their heads complained of headaches over time, and they all vomited blood and died before one examination passed, so they avoided the body before that time.
Since all the gates were closed, it was impossible to leave the city, and the second best option was to join a group of villagers and women who were repairing the walls and mix mud with straw and weeds.
They were interrupted by a stranger but took no interest.
In fact, none of the people doing forced labor here had the mental space to care about such things.
The soldiers are carrying spears and whips and ordering them to work, so they only do it reluctantly.
It was too much work to survive on a bowl of gray water porridge, given only once a day.
Rumble…..
At that time, a group of soldiers rushed to the place where the castle wall was being repaired.
“Everyone, stop working and gather here.”
Rep. Nam-ho, who had been disguised at the soldier’s cry, also lined up in front of the soldiers and had no choice but to bend over and bow.
“I have something to check, so everyone raise their faces!”
hot.
Rep. Nam-ho was shocked to find out that the congressman was among the soldiers.
‘Seeing that they came looking for me, it seems that Bun-gil is dead!’
The disguise was perfect, but if someone had a good eye, it could have been discovered.
‘In case you didn’t know, I threw my luggage between the fences… but I’m not going to search that far!’
gulp.
As the soldiers came closer, checking their faces regardless of gender, my saliva was swallowed and my heart pounded.
snap.
Then, when the soldier suddenly reached out and grabbed his chin, Nam-ho reflexively struggled to pull out the knife hidden in his sleeve.
The soldier turned Nam-ho’s face from side to side with an annoyed expression, and then moved to another old man next to him.
‘Phew~’
I let out a sigh of relief.
If he had been caught here, he would have been taken to Cao Cao and killed by dogs.
‘Yeah, they can’t be that hard. I was given an order to find me when the enemy soldiers surrounded the castle and prepared for a siege.
If the soldier had a good eye or looked closely, he would have noticed that he was thicker than the other old men and surprisingly straight.
I was relieved when the soldier passed by and only then did I realize how skimpy they were.
“Sheesh, it doesn’t seem like it’s here. Senator.”
When the soldiers reported to the senator, the senator frowned and nodded.
“There’s no way a quack who has already run away could be in a place like this. It’s a waste of time performing, but… Let’s go, eight.”
“yes.”
“Now everyone, go back and repair the wall. Hurry up and don’t go, what are you doing? If you procrastinate like this…”
Congressman Namho left behind the soldiers’ threats and headed back to the repair site of the collapsed fortress wall.
The reason why the walls of this place have collapsed so much is that what was broken during the fight between Yuan Yuan and Cao Cao has not yet been restored.
It’s been a long time, but since Jojo was only preparing for a fight with the fireman in the castle, the castle here was almost neglected.
sparkle.
As night fell, the eyes of the old man in Namho, who was repairing the castle, began to shine like a cat that got a chance.
‘I thought there would be no escape route because the gate was blocked, but I think I can get at least one body out through the collapsed fence.’
Namho let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the wall he had secretly blocked off.
Although it is a castle wall made of mud and filled with stones, it takes a lot of time for the soil to harden. In addition, it was filled with the thought of escaping through it again, so it was not visible to others, but there were too many straws and weeds, so it could easily break even with a small impact.
If he waited until it was dark and took out a few stones supporting the bottom, he could have made a hole for himself to escape.
‘If I drill a hole at the bottom, it’s about two sheets to the bottom of the outer castle, so even if I jumped down, my ankle would sprain.’
An ordinary person could get seriously injured if he jumped from a height of 2 feet, but Nam-ho was learning a high-level martial art that wouldn’t hurt him even if he jumped from that height.
* * *
There was deep anger in Cao Cao’s eyes.
“what? You still haven’t found it?”
“Sorry. I’m looking for a way to release people in all directions…”
“Haven’t I repeatedly emphasized that Congressman Nam-ho is the one who will cure my headache? I would have told you to be extra careful?”
“Sorry. I’m sure until morning, I even checked the roads at the Uicheong.
“It’s already been two o’clock. It’s getting dark soon. How are you going to find it? I still have a lot of things to worry about, so why should I raise my voice like this just because of this?”
“sorry!”
Cao Cao looked at his subordinates who were dripping with cold sweat, and swallowed his anger as he slammed the table to the point where he heard a bang.
In the past, it wouldn’t have ended with just being angry at this level, but now I was in a situation where I couldn’t even get angry at the people below me.
The situation was not so bad that it was serious.
“What are you doing? Go out immediately and visit Congressman Namho. If we don’t catch that swindler by tomorrow morning… you’ll have to be prepared. Come on out.”
“yes.”
As soon as the subordinates disappeared quickly enough to make a clatter, Jojo left the office and headed for the watchtower of the castle, rubbing the back of his neck.
“I am angry that Congressman Nam-ho, the governor of the province, ran away, but in a way, the sky may be helping the governor.”
At that time, when Guo Jia approached and offered consolation instead of consolation, Cao Cao turned his head with an absurd expression.
“Is this situation heaven helping me?”
“I’m not talking about this situation, I’m talking about the governor not having surgery to open his head from Congressman Nam Ho.”
“If I had been operated on by that old man, would I have died suddenly vomiting blood like a soldier named Bungill?”
“yes. Why did he run away so quickly? Didn’t Bungil run away first because he knew he was going to die like that?”
stop.
Jojo stopped walking for a moment and thought for a moment. Then he nodded.
“Seeing that they couldn’t find it even after releasing many people, it must be that they didn’t run away in a hurry, but that they had already anticipated this and prepared to run away from a long time ago!”
My body trembled when I thought that I could have died like Bun-gil if I had undergone surgery.
“Perhaps. But how long can he really avoid the eyes of the governor? Sooner or later, you will be captured by the soldiers, so release your anger then.”
“I knew it. By the way, why didn’t the soldiers of Hwabu still attack even though they had surrounded the castle?”
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were just besieging the castle and not attacking, so it was nice to be able to buy time, but worries were growing as well.
“Since we can’t send Sejak out of the castle… It’s hard for me to know why.”
“Still, can’t you guess something?”
After thinking for a while, Kwak Ga replied.
“It may be looking for a secret passage underground, like in the castle, or it may be replenishing the poison it consumed.”
When Jojo heard that, he let out a deep sigh.
“Either way… it’s no good for us.”
“But I don’t think it’s a bad thing, since I’ve got enough time to prepare.”
“Okay. However, the mental pressure of the soldiers will gradually increase.”
My heart is more nervous when the opponent holding the hawk is holding the form to hit than when I am hit by a hawk.
At Cao Cao’s words, Guo Jia smiled bitterly.
“Maybe the reason why the fireman doesn’t attack is that he’s waiting for trouble to arise from within.”
“I am worried about that too. I don’t know who came up with this ploy, but he’s really nasty.”
“…..”
“Let’s go to the castle and look at the enemy’s dynamics.”
As for what would change if he kept an eye on the enemy’s movements, that was the only thing Cao Cao could do right away.
