Episode 1220 Who will help? (5)
Those who were watching the cart moving precariously through the narrow alley spoke in whispers as best as they could.
“… What does it look like is on the cart?”
“It’s like grain.”
“Why is Sapaeryeon carrying grain?”
“Maybe it was conscripted?”
“If it’s mean, go the other way.”
“…… Yes?”
There is a doubt in everyone’s eyes. But the question was resolved not long after. This is because I could hear the conversation between those pulling the cart.
“Damn you!”
A grumpy-looking man riding in the front of the cart growled in a very irritated voice.
“Why do we have to do this!”
Then the man with a literary style who was following behind him smiled and answered.
“If you tell me to do it, I have to do it. Is there anything else I can do?”
“Shouldn’t you be asked to do something that is understandable? I never thought that in my lifetime, I would end up handing out grain instead of beating up those worms. I’m just so shocked.”
At that moment, the members of the Cheonwoo Alliance exchanged puzzled glances.
‘You’re giving away grain?’
‘Sapaeryeon?’
Their heads were confused for a moment, but the conversation continued before they could gather their thoughts.
“What on earth is that guy Jang Il-so thinking…”
“Shh!”
When the tough man got excited and crossed the line, the person next to him looked around with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Surprised by Jeppul, Cheon Woo-maeng and his party lowered themselves closely and hid their presence even more thoroughly.
“Is this guy crazy? He said something like that just to get himself into trouble!”
“What a shame, what a shame! Is there anyone here but us?”
“A mouse listens to what you say at night, and a bird listens to what you say during the day! If you keep talking like that, you’ll be hung before even a month has passed! You know what kind of world we live in now.”
“… Damn it.”
The man with a grim expression gritted his teeth.
“We don’t even have enough to eat and die, so you’re pouring this precious grain on those worms! What are you thinking?”
“The higher-ups must have their own thoughts.”
“Thoughts? So you’re saying that Godfather Mangeum didn’t have any thoughts?”
“Uh-huh! Why did you bring up that name again?”
As soon as the words “mangum loan” came out, the man’s face turned white. His eyes were busy as if he was scared that someone might hear him.
But the man with the grim face shouted loudly again.
“Why? Can’t I even bring up my name?”
“No…”
“To be honest, when Godfather Mangeum was alive, did we ever have to borrow money because we didn’t have money to drink? Back then, there was nothing to be afraid of in the world!
Those damned Man-in-bang people were scammers. After taking over…”
“This guy really needs to shut up! What kind of trouble is he going to get into?”
“I don’t even have enough to eat, so I’m upset because I’m giving this to people who don’t help me! I’m upset!”
Hwasan’s disciples, who had been listening intently to the conversation between the two, looked at each other.
“It looks like they are dark ghosts?”
“……It looks like that.”
“It looks like Jang Il-so is pecking at me a lot…”
Lim So-byeong’s eyes sank solemnly.
It may sound like just a common complaint, but the information contained in that conversation was much bigger and more important than I thought.
First of all, the grain loaded on that cart is being given to the common people under the order of Jang Il-so. And no matter how much it was Jang Il-so’s order, the internal response to the order was not very good.
‘I guess so…’
Jang Il-so is probably stockpiling a huge amount of supplies in preparation for a war with Gangbuk.
Even though the Sapaeryeon swallowed up the entire Black Ghost Treasure and acquired a huge amount of funds, it would have been difficult to prepare for war and at the same time pay satisfactory salaries to its subordinates.
In the meantime, it was natural that it was difficult to say good things about giving the supplies they had acquired to the common people.
“Speaking of which, what good was there for us because of the creation of the Sapae-ryeon? We were dragged from a place where we used to live well, we were forced to stand in that damn Yangtze River several times, and now, when we thought we were finally released, they are pulling a cart for us!”
“That’s it…”
“The conquest of Gangbuk is freezing. What good do I get from doing that? Anyway, it’s only good for the higher-ups. If I just make a decent amount of money and drink a lot of alcohol tonight, that’s good! Isn’t that good? ?”
The grim-faced man looked back at those following him, as if hoping for their agreement.
No one dared to open their mouths to answer, perhaps because they were lower in rank than the two in front, but their eyes clearly seemed to agree with what the man with the grim expression said.
“Oh my gosh. Who doesn’t know that, so they keep their mouths shut? If you keep saying things like that, you’ll be ripped off alive. They’ve been acting like old-timers, but… those bastards from Maninbang are really human bastards.” It’s not.”
“……”
“Have you forgotten what happened to the guy who gossiped about Ryeonju the other day and got caught by everyone? Oh my… It’s already been 20 years since I heard Sapa, and I treat people like that. “I never imagined it would be possible to kill someone so cruelly.”
The man with the grim face seemed to sympathize with those words and snorted without replying.
“They say the Demon Cult bastards are cruel, but they will also get angry when they see the Maninbang bastards. Even if we just get in their ears without even going all the way to Yeonju, we won’t die well!”
“Fuck you!”
The grim-faced man gritted his teeth.
“How did the world come to be like this…”
“Tsk, tsk. Why should I blame it? Still, we are in a better situation. We are better off than those who were conscripted to the Yangtze River and Haenam. “There’s nothing to see.”
“That’s better. Is this something you do with a knife?”
“Even if it kills my temper.”
“In this case, I’d rather just cut myself and die. All I can do is…”
The man who was speaking made a strange expression for a moment. Then he asked.
“… How long is it until the village we’re going to now?”
“We’ll be there soon.”
“Was this the last time?”
“You just have to stop here and then go to Hyeongyang.”
“Hyung-yang…”
The rugged man grinned and nodded.
“It’s a village located very deep in the mountains. Then we should go quickly.”
“……”
“Hurry up. We have to get there before the sun sets!”
“yes!”
The cart accelerated again and began to move forward.
Only after the group had gone so far away that they could barely be seen did Cheon Woo-maeng and his party, who had been hiding, stand up.
They stared in silence in the direction where the cart had disappeared with complex and strange gazes, then soon turned their heads and exchanged glances with each other.
“Well…nothing’s going on, right?”
“I heard that Jang Il-so told me to share the grain. Even if he was a Safa bastard, wouldn’t he be able to do it?”
“That’s right. They all know that Jang Il-so is scary.”
“I have a busy way to go, so I guess I’ll just be wasting time.”
“That’s all true. So…”
The people who were exchanging glances and saying obvious things nodded in unison.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s just follow along.”
“You just have to watch for a little while. If nothing happens, you can just go on your way.”
“But there may be a delay…”
“If you don’t sleep, that’s it!”
Lim So-byeong held his face in despair.
‘I only went on mountain paths to avoid seeing this.’
It’s not scary for them to stand out. It’s scary for people to notice these people!
“Hey… that’s probably not possible, but I’m telling you this out of old age…”
“Yes?”
“… Where we are now is in the middle of Gangnam.”
Lim So-byeong spoke clearly.
“Even if you tell me to just go anyway, it’s obvious that they won’t listen, so I won’t stop you that far… No matter what happens, you must not go forward. If the matter escalates, something truly irreversible could happen. What do I mean
? Do you know what I mean?”
“Oh, of course.”
“No way, we don’t even think about it that way.”
“We need to find out what the League of Legends is doing. This could be important information, right?”
Turn off the light in your eyes and tell me… If anyone sees it, they will think that a pack of tigers has emerged from the bush. Why are you putting so much strength into your eyeballs?…
When Baekcheon glanced at everyone, he opened his mouth.
“No one is allowed to step forward without my permission.”
“Yes. Assistant Manager Jangmun.”
“good.”
Baekcheon’s eyes shone sharply.
“Let’s just see what’s going on.”
* * *
Cheon U-maeng and his party quickly advanced through Soro and soon discovered a small village.
Considering that it was not very large, it seemed to be a small village that made a living through hunting or slash-and-burn farming.
“Like here?”
“Shh.”
They lowered their voices and climbed the mountainside. It was a place where you could clearly see what was happening in the village.
The grain cart they had seen a little while ago was stopped in the open space in front of the village, and about thirty people who appeared to be villagers were standing awkwardly in front of it with scared faces.
“… Is this starch?”
At those words, the villager in front of him trembled and answered.
“Yes, yes! This is all I know who lives in my village.”
The rugged man frowned.
“This is something that is done in the SPA. You know what will happen if you lie about the number of people, right?”
“Oh, my goodness…. What courage do we have to dare to deceive you? They are the only people who live in our village. Everyone, even the infants, gathered together as instructed.”
“Hmm. Really?”
The man nodded and counted the number of people standing in front of him.
“Thirty-two… That’s quite a number for a village deep in the mountains.”
He nodded, pounded the grain sacks on the cart with his hands and shouted loudly.
“Listen carefully! Lord Ryeon took pity on you and sent you grain. All of this is given by Lord Ryeon, so receive it gratefully.”
“Are you serious?”
“So you’re saying I’m telling a joke by gathering you all together?”
“Is that possible? But we are so thankful…”
Chonro looked at the grains loaded on the cart with an expression of disbelief.
Suddenly, sword-wielding Sapa bastards invaded the village. I was trembling at the thought of what kind of disaster I would face, but I was surprised to hear that grain was being distributed.
“You can express your gratitude to the leader. Remember the name of Jang Il-so, the leader of the Sapaeryeon.”
“That’s right, that’s right. If you don’t know grace, how can you be human? I will live my whole life never forgetting this gratitude!”
Tears welled up in the corners of Chonro’s eyes.
As of now, there has been a severe drought this year and we have been surviving on bark bark. If this continues, it won’t be long before people starve to death, so I can’t sleep out of worry.
Who would have thought that the famous leader of Sapa would share grain like this?
It was natural for people to feel more grateful to a villain who gave them food right in front of them than to a Buddha who said kind words from afar.
The rugged man said with a chuckle.
“Really? Are you grateful?”
“Yes! Yes! I’ll get better. Really… thank you so much. Lord Ryeon’s grace is like a blessing.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“And on behalf of the village, I would like to express my gratitude to the heroes who brought these grains here.” ”
Haha. “You have nothing to thank me for.”
“No. How can we…”
“You don’t understand what I’m talking about.”
“… Yes?”
At that moment, the man pulled out the sword from his waist like a sword and cut the villager’s chest open with a single blow
. .
“What are you doing!”
This happened before the man next to him could even do anything.
Chonro opened his eyes wide, looked down at his gaping chest, and collapsed on the spot. Torn
screams erupted from all over.
“So. “I told you, there’s nothing to be thankful for.”
The dark-skinned man with a lot of blood on his face grinned.
