Episode 172. The Art of Trading
Han Ibi quickly added.
“But I’m sure Master So will be satisfied.”
At the same time, Han Ibi quickly held out a silver coin to the man.
Then he cleared his throat and gently took it and thrust it into his arms.
“Adventure. “Anyway, be careful not to tarnish my name.”
“All right.”
The two people stood in front of a door richly painted in red.
The man with the sword spoke in a cautious voice.
“So big man. I brought in the person I mentioned earlier. “He is the one who introduced new medicinal herbs.”
Then a low-pitched voice was heard from inside.
“Come on in. “You may go back.”
“yes. All right.”
Then he pretended to ask Hanibi to go in.
Han Ibi grabbed the door handle, took a deep breath, and pulled the door open.
The door opens with a creak.
Before I knew it, the man who guided me had disappeared.
Han Ibi walked in slowly.
Inside was a middle-aged man.
He was slim and tall, and he sat down without taking his eyes off his book.
I took a quick look at the cover.
Surprisingly, ‘Shijing (詩經)’.
It was not a book that someone who ran the most powerful bureau in the Xinjiang region would enjoy reading.
There was clearly a person in front of him, but he was reading a book without moving anything.
Han Ibi was a little embarrassed, but did not interfere and stayed quiet.
How long has it been like that?
Suddenly he put down the book and said, ‘Thump’.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I really hate stopping in the middle of reading a book.”
Han Ibi responded with a smile.
“Reading is food for the mind.”
He said with a grin, as if he liked it.
“You are much younger than I thought.”
Ebi Han said.
“Louju, you are also much more gentle than I thought.”
He answered with a smile.
“There is no need to act like a small person when dealing with small people.”
“Isn’t it true that everyone who comes to a place like this is a small person?”
“Well, that’s true. “What is your name?”
“Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even say hello. “It is said that the resuscitation is Han Ibi.”
“Right. “You may have already heard, but my name is So Ju-yeom (蕭周廉).”
Han Ibi said with a smile again.
“Of course I know. “Is there anyone around here who hasn’t heard of So Dain’s reputation?”
So Juyeom waved the back of his hand once and humbly asked.
“What are you doing?”
“Sosaeng was originally a nameless magician who simply learned insignificant martial arts from a nameless teacher. Normally, selling medicinal herbs or showing martial arts is my main job, but…”
Han Ibi continued, taking a step closer to Soju Yeom.
“…Sometimes we also engage in these transactions. “If you are lucky enough to find the herb in large quantities.”
Sojuyeom nodded and said.
“Are you sure about the item?”
“That’s right. It can be said that the hallucinogenic properties of this herb are by far the best. Sir, have you tried using the good product (sample) that I posted earlier?”
Then So Juyeom shook his head and said.
“no. I don’t use drugs. Not only does it cause headaches, but it is also bad for your health. “I just asked other friends to verify it.”
“How did you feel?”
“It’s not bad, but I heard it’s kind of average.”
Then Han Ibi laughed and said.
“As expected, you are a natural negotiator. But I can’t believe that this Yeoncho is ordinary.”
“Then this will be the end of our conversation for today.”
Han Ibi shrugged and said as if she had no regrets.
“If I don’t get my due, I have no choice but to step down. Let’s look for another groin that wants to start this year. “Then thank you.”
Han Ibi bowed to show respect and then prepared to leave.
At that time, I heard the sound of Sojuyeom jumping up.
“The heart is not normal for a young person.”
I learned it from Master Song.
Han Ibi looked back again and said.
“Daein So is by no means an ordinary bachelor.”
Then So Juyeom lightly clapped his hands and said.
“Okay. Let’s discuss it again. But I have no intention of buying it expensively. “How much will it cost?”
Han Ibi took a step closer again and placed the bag she was holding down on the floor.
“This is enough for 10 people a day for three months. “If it’s like this…”
Han Yi-bi continued, looking into So Ju-yeom’s deep eyes.
“…You need to pay at least ten gold coins.”
Then So Juyeom snorted and said.
“That’s a pointless story.”
Ebi Han said.
“Guests will think differently. “No matter how expensive it is, you’ll be frustrated because you can’t get more.”
The snowball fight between the two continued for a while.
The first person to speak was Sojuyeom.
“But it’s still too expensive. “I can never pay that price.”
Ebi Han said.
“great. So Daein. “Then I would like to tell you this.”
Then So Juyeom looked at Han Ibi with puzzled eyes.
Ebi Han said.
“I can give you as much as I want for free.”
A moment of heavy silence.
But soon Sojuyeom’s deep voice was heard.
“Unnecessary favors are always met with suspicion.”
Han Ibi said with a smile.
“It’s not a favor. “I have a favor to ask you…”
That was then.
I heard someone running urgently outside the door.
Han Ibi, who was interrupted, frowned without realizing it.
A voice as urgent as your footsteps.
“So big man. “I’ll go in.”
Sojuyeom also frowned and answered.
“What’s going on?”
The door suddenly opened and a young man with a very large body came in.
As Han Ibi entered Giru, she saw several men like this.
These people were hired to solve various incidents and accidents that occurred in the so-called Giru.
According to the Murim Alliance’s intelligence, most of them were filled with ronins to maintain confidentiality.
So, it is true that it is difficult to expect a great martial arts level.
At that time, So Ju-yeom said.
“Why are you even telling me this? “There will be recovery.”
The person named Bo-su probably has a role similar to that of a security guard.
Then the tall young man hesitated, scratching his head as if he was troubled.
Su Juyeom questioned with even more frown.
“Where has he gone? “Did you really leave your workplace again?”
“sorry. Great person.”
“joy! What do you have to be sorry for? “Hurry and lead the way.”
“yes. All right. Small and large.”
The big man bowed his head and walked briskly toward the exit again.
So Ju-yeom hurries to follow him.
He walked a few steps and then spoke to Han Ibi as if he had remembered something.
“Wait a moment here. “I’ll be back soon.”
Ebi Han said.
“Don’t worry, just do your job. Small and large.”
The moment the two quickly left the door…
Han Ibi couldn’t stay still.
He followed them with the Fudo Myowangbo to make as little noise as possible.
There was no need to go far.
As soon as I left, I heard a loud noise.
Customers flowing out like the ebb and flow.
Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to run away.
It’s truly a mess.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Hwiyu. It’s really not easy to take the first step on a mission. It looked pretty cool in a spy movie.’
They were passing through a typical gibang and heading to the battleground beyond a cave where various drugs were suspected to be running rampant.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Wow… it’s been a bigger month than I thought.’
There were ronins sprawled out and bleeding on the floor.
At that time, I heard Old Man Hwang, who was in charge of the battlefield, rushing over and reporting to So Ju-yeom.
“So big man. Even though they…”
Han Yi-bi looked at where Old Man Hwang was talking.
The three middle-aged men are overturning the table and beating up the rogues while playing the game board.
They were wearing the clothes of merchants.
Old Man Hwang continued.
“…I don’t think he’s an ordinary merchant. “I guess they are Green Foresters in disguise…”
At that time, So Ju-yeom said as he walked towards them.
“Guests, please calm down.”
Then, the three middle-aged men also discovered Sojuitis and stopped moving their hands.
The one who spoke first was the oldest-looking man among them.
“Uh huh. You have to let them calm down so they can calm down. “Are you the owner of this place?”
So Juyeom answered seriously.
“That’s right. Have our children somehow made the guests feel uncomfortable?”
At that time, the man in the middle, who was two heads taller than the others, spoke.
“We are doing this because we made it uncomfortable. “Are you saying that now?”
Su Juyeom frowned and thought.
The ronin who are currently guarding Yeohwaru are still people who have had some experience with Gangho.
Judging from the hands they showed today, they must have been great experts.
Sojuyeom asked.
“Is there something you didn’t like so much?”
Then this time the furry man who appeared to be the youngest shouted.
“Have you seen these scammers? huh? Do you have trouble sleeping at night after robbing customers of their money? You guys hired Nocheon (Tazza), right? I saw all the cards being changed. “You guys.”
Su Juyan frowned again and looked at Old Man Huang.
Old Man Hwang was seen looking away in embarrassment.
Even without Sojuyeom’s specific instructions, it was very common to maximize profits by utilizing such open air in actual battle arenas.
So Ju-yeom said to Old Man Hwang.
“Give back the customers’ money.”
Then Old Man Hwang bowed his head as if he was very sorry and said.
“sorry. I already gave it back without getting permission from Rouge. Even so…”
Then the tall man shouted.
“These guys are no better than dogs. If you cheated, wouldn’t you have to pay five times as much? huh? “If we hadn’t done that, wouldn’t we have won a lot more money?”
Sojuyeom frowned again and said.
“Did you receive orders from Yeonghwanru?”
Then the faces of the three people hardened at the same time.
But then the oldest man shook his head awkwardly and said,
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
Sojuyeom said.
“Sihwasamgoe (撕碎三怪). I’ve heard before that trash from the South has been flowing in here. I also heard a long time ago that you guys joined the Women’s Unit. “It’s you guys who tricked me into recovering an unharmed person!”
The three people seemed a bit embarrassed.
How could an ordinary Rouge understand all of this?
Anyway, seeing as they couldn’t even manage basic facial expressions, it seemed like although they were strong in martial arts, their brains weren’t working well enough.
Sujuyeom, who gained momentum, shouted loudly.
“If it ends here, I will overlook this incident. “Get out of here!”
The three people seemed to be busy making eye contact with each other and trying to exchange opinions.
However, So Joo-yeom was actually gambling with his life in his own fighting arena…
Surprisingly, he was a real bachelor who was not good at martial arts at all.
At that time, the youngest, the furry one, shouted loudly.
“Shit. “Didn’t you say that Tian Rouge should never be caught?”
Then the tall man shouted.
“you idiot. What should I do if you talk about Chen Rouju!”
Chen Rouju is the owner of Yinghuanru.
At that moment, the oldest man spoke.
“Tear it! Now that it’s like this, there’s no other choice but to kill.”
With those words, the two men rushed towards So Ju-yeom at the same time.
So Ju-yeom was startled and took a step back… but
how could an ordinary bachelor be able to defeat a martial arts expert?
He had no choice but to grab each arm.
At that time, Old Man Hwang screamed.
I realized what it meant to tear apart.
A sudden moment.
Now, if the two men of Siswaesamgoe just applied their strength and pulled, Sojuyeom’s fragile body would be split in two and his five organs and six parts would spill out onto the floor.
The tall man shouted.
“Pull!”
It was then.
Whoosh whoosh.
The sound of cutting the wind.
This was right after Han Ibi swung both arms at the same time.
The two blades formed a large circle outward, aiming at the arms of each of the two men holding Sojuyeom.
“Yikes!”
The two people were so startled that they had no choice but to pull out their arms at the same time.
That moment.
Like lightning, there was someone who blocked Soju Yeom’s way by utilizing the tricks of Bagua…. It
was Han Yi-bi, who although she wore shabby clothes, had difficulty hiding all of her beauty.
He said with a smile.
