Blood gushed from the gaping throat.
Heo Jun struggled and grabbed his neck, but it was too late.
Joo Hwa-ran’s single sword was quick and accurate, and it achieved its purpose without a single mistake.
“Keureuk…
That was the deathbed of the dying.
What did you want to say? It is unfair? save me? Or will I curse you until I die?
Heo Jun’s lips, which had been smacking with a bloody boiling sound, stiffened.
The struggled limbs lost strength and the light in the eyes that looked at Joo Hwaran, stained with countless emotions, went out.
Haaa….
The last breath he exhaled in this world is scattered into the air.
Heo Jun, who was the sworn brother of the swordsman Joo Ho and served in Yongbongpyo for 30 years, died like that.
By the hands of his niece, who once followed him like blood.
“…Uncle Heo.”
A small voice. The back of Joo Hwa-ran looked somewhat desolate.
After looking down at the breathless Heo Jun for a while, she slowly turned around.
The obsidian-like eyes that passed by the soldiers belonging to the Yongbong Pyoguo turned toward the outsiders.
One by one, and Joo Hwa-ran, who looked at me for the last time, gave a bow to everyone.
“Ju Hwa-ran, the Soguk-ju of Yongbongpyo-guk, committed disrespect in front of Kang-ho’s seniors.”
It is often said that pain makes a person mature. I hoped that through this incident, she would have grown up
a notch
.
When I was there, something stepped on my foot. I
looked down and saw the gorgeous Danghye worn by a woman.
As far as I know, there is only one person here who can wear something like this.
I looked at Wolhwa with questioning eyes. I pointed to the left and right with a wink.
It was only then that I felt the eyes of the people.
Suddenly, people split on both sides were staring at me.
And at the end of it, the coin that was taking a hug.
*…What is this?’
Did you get anything on my face?
Wol-hwa whispered in a voice that I could hardly hear the bewildered me,
“Gongja Jin says something.”
“yes?”
“Soju Joo said hello. You should accept it as a representative.”
“No, why am I doing that?”
“Hurry up. I’ll wait and grow old.”
Yes, I’ve aged about 10 seconds in the meantime.
I don’t know why I have to say it, but I bowed my head with a shy face for now.
” And I’m not like Kangho’s senior, so you can treat me like that.”
“Could it be?”
Joo Hwa-ran raised her head and spoke calmly.
“Jin Dae-hyeop and other seniors are the benefactors of the Yongbongpyo Bureau. Without your help, our Yongbongpyo Bureau would have been in great trouble… and we would not have been able to punish the traitors.”
A bitterness flickers across Joo Hwa-ran’s expression as she adds the last word.
Perhaps she felt it herself, but her voice grew stronger
.
To say it wasn’t a big deal, the help of me and various schools was definitely great. From the viewpoint of Ju Hwa-ran and Yongbong-pyo-guk, bowing 100 times was not enough
.
My small nose is still cheesy, but it has evolved one step further.
Feeling like I have to grow a beard, I turned around and said,
“You should repay the favor to others other than me, and what will you do now?”
“First of all, I plan to collect the body and return to the target country. I have a lot of work to do.”
“You must be very busy.”
Instead of the unconscious father, it is the Joohwaran that manages the flag country.
A day would pass quickly just by clearing up the long trip, but with dynamic events following one after another, it was clear that even ten bodies would be insufficient.
Joo Hwa-ran nodded at my words and opened her mouth.
“Still, I have enough room to treat Jin Dae-hyeop and the others.”
“I’m glad you can afford it… Yes?”
“Jin Daehyeop is the benefactor who saved me and my family. I can’t let you go without being treated properly.”
That’s it.”
“Are you very busy?”
busy Quite busy.
The treatment period for Jeokcheongang is at least 6 months
and at most 8 months.
In it, I must search the vast land of Sacheon to find an unidentified person named Sinui.
‘It took a week to get from Hanam to Seomseo. To reach Sacheon, no matter how fast, we have to travel another week.’
It is a story when even that was when the new law was exercised to the fullest.
Faith is the water in which everything is shrouded in a veil. No one can predict how long it will take.
That was the reason why I felt uneasy after spending only one day in Xi’an.
‘It’s late today too.’
It’s been a long time since the sun rose in the middle of the sky. I had to run until my feet were on fire because I was delayed for a considerable amount of time due to being entangled with the sectarian faction.
But…
“No. I am not busy.”
Unknowingly, my mouth opened and that answer came out.
what just happened This is the exact opposite of what I was trying to say.
Joo Hwa-ran carefully asks me, who was dazed for a moment.
“Are you really okay, Jin Dae-hyeop?
Thank you. Thank you so much for saying it first.
She’s quick-witted and smart. When she scratched the itch, I answered without hesitation,
“No matter how urgent it is, can’t we have a meal together?”
“yes.”
“It was a car that I had been hungry for, but it turned out well. let’s go.”
Are you sick for real? Why go to Yongbongpyoguk when you have to go to Sacheon?
But when he came to his senses, he had already carried the crab on his back.
When I let out a deep sigh, I saw a person who had been far removed from all of this.
Looking at him, he opens his mouth first.
“Why do you have anything to say?”
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard half-talk so naturally in my first meeting.
Anyway, the other side let me go first, so
it was comfortable for me too.
just. I don’t want you to go.”
“No work.
” Then make it.”
“I know you don’t have time anyway, so let’s talk.”
“conversation?”
“Uh conversation.”
The Song Il-seom, who had been looking at me with his eyebrows raised, straightened his leaning body.
* * *
Early spring. The bright sun disappeared less than two o’clock after arriving at Yongbong Pyo-guk, behind Seosan
. A delicacy was prepared on the table, and Cheongpung and Gunggibang, wide-eyed, hurriedly stuffed the food into their mouths
. Eunin. Drink this. Chops, chomps.”
“…Eat a lot. Please don’t talk
.”
It looked delicious.
Until Cheongpung dared to show what was in his mouth.
“Waguwagu. You’re good at this signature dish. Sogukju. Could you share some leftover food with the family in this room?”
That son of a gunsmith is a real beggar to the core.
Hwaran Joo nodded his head toward the guy who was being slaughtered mainly for meat.
“Of course. If you’re hungry, just ask them to come.”
“Oh how much?”
“…but too much is difficult.”
Even if only the opening of Shaanxi Province came in, 400,000 hermits, which would have been received as settlement money, would be robbed for food expenses.
The gunggibang grinned, showing yellow teeth.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you don’t worry.”
At least Hyuk Moo-jin, who was eating normally, whispered,
“I’m more worried when you say that.”
“I know.”
Isn’t Yongbongpyo-guk ruined because of openness, not Jong-Nam faction?
Joo Hwa-ran spoke to me as I promised myself to be careful
.
“Yes, the food is delicious.”
Other than our party, Baek Moo-sung and Heukgeolgae Wol-hwa did not respond to the invitation. I don’t know
why, but I think Wol-hwa changed his words after he glared at the two of them.
Well anyway
… Do you like it?”
“No, it was delicious. Look, I emptied two bowls of rice.”
“weird. But why do you think you ate less?”
1 It’s relative. look at them You’re fighting a battle between food and love.”
Kumchuk kumchuk!
Wow wow!
Chew-cheep-cheep!
Joo Hwa-ran nodded like someone who had attained enlightenment.
“iced coffee.”
“Mujin and I are normal. Those who eat less are over there.”
Song Il-seom replied in a blunt voice,
“I’ve been saying this for ten years, but the food here is too salty. Spicy and salty food is very irritating and makes the body heavy.”
“Suddenly, I think of one person. If I were here, I would have beaten you to death with a ladle.”
Who are you talking about?”
“There’s someone like that. If you get hit by one, your screams will naturally heal. I’ve been beaten so many times, too. Strangely, I couldn’t escape even once.”
Is this the Jin Daehyeop HR room?”
“You mean?”
Joo Hwa-ran asked in surprise, and Song Il-seom’s eyes flashed,
“If you, who defeated Taeeulmujeonggeom, say so… you must be a truly great master. Can you tell me his name and nickname?”
“Kim Jeong-hee. The nickname is Mrs.”
“Ummm. I’ve never heard of that.”
That’s right, because it’s my mother.
I didn’t show it, but continued with a solemn tone,
“Anyway, he said that, no matter what, he said that if you eat well, you’ll grow bigger and stronger.”
“Ugh ”
*m’.
“So don’t complain and eat the side dishes. ，，
Song Il-seom, who was worried with a serious face,
lifted his chopsticks and started eating the side dishes.
The more I look at him, the more
bizarre he is.
For a while, I suspected the identity of Songil Island in a very bad way.
It was a reasonable suspicion. An outstanding peak master who hid my skills for ten years. I had already experienced a similar case in Shanseo Province. Amcheon
(暗天) )
The elder and Shanseo Wumen, who had been crouching for decades
, seem to have overlapped Song Il-seom’s actions above them.
However, the more they talked, the more doubts disappeared and only questions remained.
‘What the hell is this thing doing?’
His blunt tone and behavior. It’s obviously a rough look, but there’s a strange elegance in various parts of his appearance. Maybe that’s
why his casual speech sounds natural.
This is true.’
I stared blankly at Song Il-seom,
who had been chewing on the side dish while writing arrogantly, swallowed the food in his mouth and said,
“That expression again. What?”
“Just. I was thinking about who you are.”
“Are you curious about that?”
“Yes. Very”
Conversation with this guy is like an open highway. That’s why it’s comfortable.
Before I knew it, other people, including Joo Hwa-ran, were also paying attention to Song Il-seom’s mouth.
He didn’t like that, his eyebrows raised. He raised his head,
“Nothing. I just stayed in Yongbongpyo country because there was a kite.”
“There is a kite with the predecessor?”
“To be precise, my father was greatly indebted.”
Huh? Wait. I almost can’t remember
. An orchid of flowers with her eyes open was staring at Songil Island.
It was clear that this was the first story she had heard in 10 years.
“May I ask for his name
? ”
It’s a name I’ve never
heard before.” “There’s nothing strange about that. It was almost 50 years ago.”
Fifty years ago? During the Great War
?
“The Guangdong Jin family is a long-forgotten family. The mother, who was revived with the help of Pyowang Ju Gong-san, passed on her surname to her child for fear of the greedy Murim people. It was a wise choice.” It feels like being stabbed in the back
. Joo Hwa-ran looked at Song Il-seom with trembling eyes.
“Then, are you…?”
Instead of answering, Song Il-seom took out a faded jade hairpin from her bosom and held
it out . It was the only fee (? 費) received from a full-term woman.
