Episode 1238: Someone came (3)
“Who came?”
“You said it was a volcano? A volcano! “Cheon Woo-maeng has arrived!”
“What nonsense! “There’s a typhoon like this?”
“It’s not a matter of whether it makes sense or not! We are now in the audience hall! “Have you been deceived?”
“⋯⋯Oh my god.”
The person who heard the words reached out and opened the window.
Whiiiiiiiing!
The trees were swaying as if they were about to break due to the wind and rain blowing at an incredible speed. There were several trees already uprooted and rolling around.
‘Through this?’
With the sea and waves and a typhoon of this magnitude, it would not have been easy to climb the mountain. Typhoons encountered in the southern seas are on a different level from typhoons encountered on land. However, in the midst of this typhoon, people who are not familiar with the South Sea…
“Who said someone was here?”
“Don’t be alarmed! “Oh-gum has come in person! Oh-gum!”
“Five swords? Could it be that the Hwasan Five Swords?”
“yes! “That volcanic sword!”
“⋯⋯hehe.”
The term ‘Hwasan Five Swords’ gives many different feelings to the disciples of Haenam School.
‘That’s them then.’
The world’s best martial arts competition held in Shaolin. There, Haenam’s disciples got into a fight with Hwasan’s disciples and started punching each other.
At the time, the matter did not spread significantly due to Shaolin’s mediation, but if you think about it, it would not be wrong to say that the people who announced to the world the appearance of the Hwasan Five Swords were the Haenam faction.
As a result, Haenam’s disciples who heard the name Hwasan Ogum had complicated feelings. Didn’t people who weren’t that different at the time emerge as representatives of the late index in just a few years and achieve the unthinkable, sweeping away all the fame in the world?
“Well then, just a moment! “Has the Hwasan Sword Association also come?”
“That’s right!”
“⋯⋯It’s true. “I really came.”
The person who was listening trembled.
Hwasan Sword Association. It has been a long time since that star name went beyond volcanoes and became a symbol of Cheonwoomaeng. How could you not know what it means that he came in person?
“Where are they now?”
“That’s right, in the guest hall…. Death penalty! Where are you going? execution!”
“I have to see it with my own eyes!”
“Let’s go together! execution! Ah, death penalty!”
The news that Cheon Woo-maeng’s special envoy had arrived in Haenam spread faster than a strong wind. Some people were embarrassed by that fact, others were thrilled, and a few impatient people ran back and forth.
And Cheon Woo-maeng’s group, who received all that attention…
“rice! “Please give me more food!”
“Hey. Haenam chicken is also delicious.”
“That’s not a chicken, it’s death penalty.”
“Why are the grains of rice a bit long here?”
“What does it look like? “All it takes is taste!”
The food warehouses of Haenampa, which had been isolated by the typhoon, were being torn down at a rapid pace. People who don’t know much might mistake them for being dispatched under a special order from the Sapaeryun to exhaust Haenam’s supplies.
Haenam’s kitchen master looked in bewilderment at the table where a war was taking place.
Normally, we would have prepared delicacies from the mountains and the sea for those who visited Haenam from far away, but Haenam, which suddenly received guests, could not possibly have had the capacity to do so. As a result, there was a lot of concern that the food would not taste good because it was served in a hurry.
But now that I’m looking at this, what can I say…
‘Is there any meaning to the food from the mountains and the seas?’
I just cram everything I can chew and swallow… Wouldn’t it be a bit of a waste to put precious food in that mouth…
“Do you have any more food?”
“⋯⋯You just ate a pot.”
“no?”
“I will give it to you. rice! Come on, bring more rice! “Prepare more food too!”
Suksu ran back to the kitchen, sweating profusely.
Cheon Woo-maeng and his companions, who had been draining Haenam’s storehouse as hard as they could for a long time, finally sat down on their chairs, clutching their bloated bellies.
“I think I will live.”
“Iknow, right.”
Namgung Dowi closed his eyes tightly as he looked at his bulging belly.
To be honest, there was a time when he, too, saw the people of Hwasan scooping up food as if they were gluttons and thought they had no culture.
‘It wasn’t that I wasn’t cultured.’
You had to eat to live.
If you get caught up in the training that the Hwasan Sword Association tells you to do and the things he does, you will lose a lot of weight no matter how much you train your strength.
If Namgung Do-wi had maintained the same amount of food as usual, his skin and bones would have been close together by now and he would not have been able to avoid the appearance of a sore throat. By eating like crazy, this is the only way I can maintain my body.
“I thought it was really falling apart.”
“Maybe he’s already dead? “We are already dead and have sunk deep into the sea, and this is just a dream…”
“Don’t say anything stupid.”
The party leader wrinkled his face and scolded him.
I don’t know why that guy, Namgung Dowi, gets weirder by the day. Still, in the past, I was a serious person even if I was a bit unlucky.
“⋯⋯It’s because I came close to death.”
“I agree with that.”
He shook his head with a tired look on his face.
Just thinking about waves the size of a house still gave me goosebumps.
‘You managed to survive.’
The place where they encountered the typhoon was in the middle of the open sea. No matter how trained a warrior is, it is normal for him to be unable to survive.
If Lim So-byeong hadn’t told me to dive deep, I might have run out of stamina halfway through and something would have happened.
“⋯⋯It’s a shame because the results are good.”
“great?”
“…It’s a shame because the result isn’t the worst.”
Namgung Dowi also shook his head.
‘How on earth did they know that?’
I knew it the moment I went into the water. The ocean currents that were so strong on the surface suddenly became as calm as a lie inside.
Of course, it was not easy to dive deep and swim, and you had to come up to the surface to breathe from time to time, but it could not be compared to swimming outside the water.
“But where does this bastard find precious medicine!”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong kicked Lim So-byeong, who was holding the medicine bowl. Even though Lim So-byeong fell to the ground, he somehow managed to protect the medicine bowl and put his face in and sucked the medicine bowl.
“Why don’t you give it to me? “Some Sapa bastard is wasting precious medicinal ingredients!”
“What a death sentence! “Then you really die?”
“That’s what I said! You’re from a Tang family, so you’re using medicine on a Sapa bastard when you can’t use poison? “That expensive one?”
“⋯⋯People must be saved. “Still, I’m a member of the National Assembly.”
Namgung Dowi sighed deeply. Both Cheongmyeong and Lim So-byeong were the same in many ways. Although he didn’t say anything, the party leader nodded as if he agreed.
Suddenly, Nangong Dowi’s gaze turned to the side. I didn’t realize it because I was out of my mind, but before I knew it, quite a few people were sticking to the window and snooping around. Even though it’s raining and winding outside.
A strange sense of anticipation and anxiety was visible in their eyes. Nangong Daowi spoke in a low voice.
“The expressions on the faces of the Haenam sect’s disciples do not look good.”
“I guess so. “I have endured for several years under the pressure of not knowing when the Sapaeryun might attack.”
“Then shouldn’t we be a little more welcoming?”
“You also tend to forget one thing.”
“yes?”
“We are also the same in that we completely excluded Haenam and left it alone until now.”
At those words, Namgung Dowi’s expression hardened slightly.
“Of course, we can defer responsibility by saying that it was the role of the old group, but it would be difficult for them to see it that way.”
Nangong Daowi especially could not avoid these words.
Before Emperor Namgung died and he transferred the enemies of the Namgung family to Cheonwu Meng, the Namgung family was also in a position to act together with the nine factions under the name of the Five Great Families.
During those three years, they ignored Haenam. That is a fact that never changes.
‘I mustn’t forget it.’
So they did not come here as saviors. I came here to apologize for ignoring what I should have done and to let them know that Cheon Woo-maeng was right now.
“I came with a good heart, so to say that you should naturally accept it with good intentions is nothing but the arrogance of the person extending his hand. “Before that, let’s first look back at what we did.”
Namgung Dowi nodded at those words.
‘I guess I should approach this with a more humble attitude.’
I thought that would be the key to solving Haenam.
And then.
Hehehe!
The door to the guest room opened wide and a fierce wind poured in. Kwak Hwan-so entered inside, receiving everyone’s attention.
Jerk. Jerk.
Kwak Hwan-so, who made a beeline for their table, nodded when he saw the cleanly emptied plates.
“Jang Mun-in has instructed us to ensure that there is no inconvenience in hosting guests. “If you need anything…”
“uh? “I remembered!”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong pointed to Guo Huanxiao.
“That’s him, he deserves the death penalty! Him!”
Yunjong asked calmly as he was swayed from side to side by Cheongmyeong’s rough hands.
“who?”
“Ah then! The guy who got hit by Sasuk. In Shaolin!”
“ah! at that time?”
“okay! “I cried after being beaten to death by Sa-sook.”
“Who was crying?”
Kwak Hwan-so shouted loudly. It was true, but I didn’t cry! Although I lost consciousness in one hit!
“Hey. “It’s nice to see you here.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But the treatment of the guests here is really poor?”
“yes?”
Cheongmyeong said angrily.
“I guess this is how guests are treated in Namhae, right? “How can you not bring me a bottle of alcohol?”
Kwak Hwan-so chuckled.
“Oh, you mean alcohol. Of course, there is good alcohol in Namhae as well. However, since the alcohol in Namhae is so strong, I think it might be a bit too much for those of you who are tired…”
“I’ll give it to you alone.”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s a drink drunk by corrupt kids who faint after getting hit by Sasuk.”
Guo Huanxiao’s cheek twitched.
“⋯⋯As I told you, the alcohol in Namhae is strong. And the men of Namhae…”
“weakling?”
“⋯⋯.”
At that moment, the sound of Kwak Hwan-so clenching his teeth came out.
“⋯⋯Suyang.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“Go and get a drink.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“Bring everything you have. right now!”
Several of Haenam’s disciples hurriedly ran outside at the sound of an angry voice. Then he soon returned carrying large liquor jars.
In an instant, the auditorium was filled with liquor containers large enough to fit a person. Just by looking at it with my eyes, I could see more than ten.
Fighting.
Kwak Hwan-so pulled the cloth that was sealing the liquor jar. Then a strong scent spread throughout the auditorium.
“I brought you the alcohol you wanted. But… as you can tell just by smelling it, this is a pretty strong drink. So for no reason…”
“Is the scent of Sasuk strong?”
“It’s fragrant.”
“I guess it’s because they’re hillbillies. “You’re a bit pretentious.”
Kwak Hwan-so’s eyes were bloodshot.
“Then, we who drink well will drink, so those of you who can’t drink can go. “I will eat well.”
In the end, Kwak Hwan-so, unable to control his anger, grabbed the liquor jar and lifted it up. It looks like he wants to pick it up and throw it away at any moment.
“execution!”
“Death penalty! It’s not possible!”
Coo!
But he just walked forward and slammed it down in front of Baekcheon. Then he faced me and sat down.
“… Since these guests have come a long way, of course it would be polite to give them a masterpiece.”
“oh?”
Bai Qian smiled meaningfully and looked at Guo Huanxiao. Guo Huanxiao twisted his lips and said.
“But… I’m worried. “Even if you have a fair and fair face, if you taste the alcohol and urinate, it will be a memory that will follow you for the rest of your life.”
Baekcheon just smiled humanly.
“Well then, wouldn’t it be more ugly than just getting hit and standing there foaming at the mouth?”
“What?”
“why?”
A spark flashed in both of their eyes at the same time.
“So? Are you willing to try together again?”
“It seems like you still don’t know much about it even after what you went through back then. Hwasan never starts a fight, but it never avoids a fight.”
Those who heard that whispered behind their backs,
“Aren’t you going to fight?”
“Don’t you hang everything you can on?”
“Sasuk is almost able to tell lies as if he were breathing. I think you can advance to the imperial palace.”
“Do you have no conscience?”
Baekcheon glared at the people whispering behind him as if they were going to kill him, then made eye contact with Kwak Hwanso again. Kwak
Hwanso twitched his face and forced a smile.
“You’ll regret it, right?”
“regret?”
Crumble. Crumble.
Baekcheon, who violently bent his neck left and right, lifted his chin slightly.
“You can make him regret it.”
“Hey, Manager Jang Moon?”
“I have a bit of a stomach ache…”
“Let’s just leave it alone. I think he’s already gone crazy. I can’t stop him if he does that. He’s already gone crazy.”
No matter what anyone around them said, the two were only glaring at each other and grabbed the bowl with their chins at the same time.
“The one who reaches out first!”
“You did it wrong!”
Two large drinking glasses clashed violently in the air.
