Episode 1276 I’m not wrong. (1)
“What did you say?”
Hu Jiamyeong asked softly.
To begin with, Ho Ji-myeong is not a very impressive person. To be precise, the impression was not that bad, but the expression was so cold and sharp that it scared the viewer.
Seeing Hu Jiaming with a bandage on his face and a cold look in his eyes, the reporter couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding.
“Boats were commandeered from nearby villages. We couldn’t get a ship as big as the one we originally came on, but we had
several ships of appropriate size…”
“Just the point.”
The person reporting swallowed dryly.
“It’s not like the sailors brought in from the land are driving the ships we commandeered. “They say it’s difficult.”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I don’t understand. Isn’t a sailor the person who drives the ship? But why is it difficult to drive a boat?” “
They say that everything is not easy because the boats in Haenam Island are structured differently from the boats they used to drive.”
Hu Jiaming let out a laugh. Isn’t this the appearance of a warrior using a sword insisting that it is difficult to hold and swing a sword that looks different from the one he is used to?
“Bring the person in charge.”
“This way!”
The person who was reporting immediately turned his head and shouted, as if he knew Hu Jia-ming was going to say this. Then, a young man from one side rushed over and knelt in front of Hu Jia-myeong. “You lowly bastard
. “See you, soldier…”
“That’s it.”
He cut off the man’s words, as if there was no need to use a pseudonym. Then the man’s already pale face became even whiter.
“You said you can’t drive a boat?”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
“The reason is?”
Hu Jiaming looked at the sailor with cold eyes.
“Can I understand this to mean that a ship that doesn’t fit your hand can’t be built?”
“Oh no, military adult!”
The sailor lowered his head to the floor.
“No matter how lowly you are, you have been driving boats all your life! But how can there be a ship that you can’t
drive?” Hu Jiaming nodded quietly. If you think about common sense, this is correct.
“Then?”
“But the ship in Haenam is an unfamiliar ship to us. Even though the typhoon has passed, the waves are still high and there is a headwind right now. If this happens, our ship will inevitably be later than usual.”
“late?”
“Yes. It will take at least half a day to reach the land…”
“Half a day…”
If you have time, you can go leisurely. But the only thing they don’t have right now is leisure.
Half a day is all they need. There is still time for them to get out of Guangdong.
“So you can’t drive it?”
“If you say you don’t know, of course you will. But… you have to take into account that it may take more time… “
Hu Jiaming chuckled.
“You’re smart. That’s why you came as a representative at a young age.”
When the sailor said that he couldn’t drive the ship, he didn’t mean it literally. If he didn’t say this and sailed the ship and it took longer than expected, naturally, the desperate people of all people would try to hold them responsible
.
This person is trying to get Hu Jia-myeong’s approval for the excuses he will come up with at the moment.
Normally, he might have been rewarded instead. People who think of their own position and come up with a solution are the type of people that Hu Jia-myeong likes the most. But
, What Hu Jiaming was feeling now was more irritation than admiration.
‘Things are going wrong.’
Lost in thought for a moment, he smoothed the bandage wrapped around his cheek with his fingertips. He could feel the dry bandage becoming wet with sticky liquid.
“Soldier!” I will clean them up…”
“There is no need for that.”
Hu Jiaming cut off the reporter’s conversation and asked the man,
“You’re not familiar with this ship. Is that right?”
“yes.”
“Then we can call someone familiar.”
The corners of Hu Jiaming’s mouth twitched slightly.
“I heard that everyone who lives in Haenam is a sailor. Is that right?”
“If not everyone, then at least one of them knows how to drive a boat.”
Hu Jiaming nodded and turned his head. He saw a large fishing village adjacent to the coast.
“Bring all of them. “Not a single person is left behind.”
“Yes!”
Hu Ga-myeong’s eyes twinkled darkly.
The gathered villagers looked at the people surrounding them with anxious eyes. The mere
name of Man-in-bang can’t help but make the heart pound in the faint-hearted. In this Gangnam, the fear given by the names of Sapaeryun and Man-in-bang. is just as huge.
“Chief Chu.”
“Quiet…”
When someone was afraid and tried to open their mouth, the village chief, old man Zhong, quickly stopped them. Then I looked around and examined the situation.
‘What is happening?’
In his opinion, the atmosphere is not unusual. This is because it felt like all of the warriors who gathered them were under the influence of evil.
“Is everyone here?”
“That’s right. This is all they have in this village.”
When Old Man Zhong answered, Hu Jiaming’s gaze turned towards him.
“Are you the village chief?”
“That’s right.”
Hu Jiaming nodded.
“We need people to drive that boat to land.”
At those words, the village chief glanced at the boats anchored on the shore.
“It’s a Haenam boat, so a Haenam person would be the best at driving it.”
The faces of those who heard Ho Ga-myeong’s words. It was stained with this earthy color.
“Are you saying we have to drive the boat?”
“Yes.”
A nickname was added that did not need to be added.
“We have to chase after the ship that went first as quickly as possible.”
Some of those present now understood what everyone wanted.
‘It’s Haenam.’
The coast where the Haenam faction captured the ship was not far from here. So there were some who knew that the Haenam faction was targeting something on the coast.
Sweat began to appear on the face of the old man, Chief Jong.
“Do we have to go to land…?”
“Yes.”
“Then after that…?”
“It will depend on the situation.”
The old man’s complexion darkened.
They say that all you have to do is drive the boat, but you never know what will happen once you get on the boat with them. If you are unlucky, you could be trapped on land for months, or even worse, you could lose your life.
In such a situation, who on earth would be willing to step forward? Moreover, what Maninbang is trying to do now is to follow in the footsteps of the Haenam faction.
“But… heroes.”
There was a desperate light in the old man’s eyes.
“We have been starving for several days because of the typhoon. You already took the boat with us, but if you take the men too, we will…”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Are you saying that if you take a few people with you, everyone will starve to death?”
“You take all the intact boats, but we…”
“Stop.”
Ho Jiamyeong neatly cut off the village chief’s words.
“I am not one to avoid controversy. Rather, he is closer to a person who enjoys it. But now I don’t have time to waste on pointless arguments.”
“……”
“The Lord Ryeon doesn’t like it when warriors touch the civilians. But that doesn’t mean protecting the civilians. I just do my job and live. Because the greater the number of civilians, the more helpful it is in the end. But…”
Hu Jiaming, who paused for a moment, sneered coldly. His already cool expression became eerily cold.
“The situation has reached this point . “If he is a person who takes Haenam’s side and interferes with the alliance even though he has arrived, there is no reason to protect him. It would be better for the alliance to get rid of him in advance.”
At those words, several of the Maninbangdo pulled out the swords from their belts.
The villagers’ complexions turned pale.
“Are your thoughts still the same?”
Hu Jiaming smiled and looked at the old man. However, a poisonous light flashed in the eyes of the old man, who looked like he was about to tremble and lie down.
“If you want to kill, kill.”
“…What did you say?”
Perhaps this was unexpected to Hu Jiaming, and he looked slightly surprised.
“I said kill if you want to kill me!”
He looked at the old man as if he was dumbfounded. A little while ago, he was worried that something might happen. The trembling old man was suddenly glaring at Hu Jiaming with venom in his eyes.
“Have you lost your mind?”
“Realistic? Of course I did.”
Old Man Zhong shouted in anger.
“My children are among the disciples of the Hainan Sect you are trying to chase after!” “……”
”
No matter how precious a person’s life is, what kind of crazy parent “You’re saying I’m lending a hand to those who want to kill my children? I’d rather die! Do whatever you want, you evil bastards of the world!”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes darkened.
It would have been insignificant if just that old man had gone on such a rampage, but the moment the old man became angry, I saw the venom in the eyes of the other villagers behind him.
‘Is it because it’s an island?’
The relationships and bonds are very strong. If it were on land, children or anything else would not have dared to oppose the Sapaeryeon event.
Hu Jiaming nodded.
“I guess I get it.”
“Military…”
“It’s important to chase after those who run away. But… there are things in this world that must be done even if they are urgent.”
Ho Jiamyeong said calmly in a voice devoid of emotion,
“Haenam will also need this. An example of what happens to those who oppose the Sapaeryeon.”
A cruel smile spread across the lips of the Maninbangdo members who heard those words.
“Soldier then…”
“Don’t leave anything behind.”
Ho Jiamyeong glanced at the people gathered in front of him and continued speaking.
“Kill all the rats, leaving no rats behind, and then burn the village.”
The moment permission was given, the Maninbandos unleashed their murderous spirit and tried to attack the villagers. The villagers, sensing their fate, closed their eyes tightly.
Right then.
“Stop it!”
One person shouted and stepped forward.
“hmm?”
Hu Jiaming looked at the person who came forward.
Jang Jeong, who stepped forward with a stern face, bit his lip and opened his mouth.
“I can see the boat. I will also select the driver of another ship.”
“Hmm.”
Hu Jiaming looked at him with serious eyes and asked,
“Why should I do that? I can get a ship driver elsewhere?”
“…It won’t be the end once we reach land.”
“What do you mean?”
“You weren’t trying to chase Haenam?”
“……”
“I can distinguish the traces they left behind and the marks they used.”
Ho Jiamyeong smiled softly.
“You must be a disciple of Haenam.”
“……exactly.”
Hu Jiaming, who was silent for a moment, nodded.
“It would be useful as a hunting dog. But one isn’t enough. If you’re willing to bring a few more, I’ll spare the villagers.”
“…I understand.”
“Yukong!”
“Sangkong!”
Yugong bit his lip. I tried to stay away as much as possible, but now there is no way. He even abandoned his clan to save them, but if they die like this, wouldn’t everything he did have been in vain?
Somehow, they have to be saved.
“…I will do whatever you ask me to do. So… So, please spare them.”
“Good deal. i get it. Get ready quickly. Depart within half an hour. If the preparations are not completed by then, we will treat it as if there was no transaction.”
“Understand.”
“Do you understand?”
As Hu Jiamyeong asked quietly, Yugong bit his lip.
“I understand… I understand.”
The shame spread . Looking at his face, Hu Jiaming nodded with an expressionless face. As he was about to turn, he suddenly stopped.
“Oh, and.”
“Yes?”
At that moment, a flash of tension flew from Hu Jiaming’s hand.
Wow!
The force that flew struck the body of old man Jong, who was standing in front, without any chance.
“Chief!”
“Oh, father!”
The old man bled. It was clear that he had died without even needing to look.
“Excluding that old man.”
“……”
“Remember, a deal is a deal. If you don’t do your part properly, the rest will too. “It will be the same. And then you won’t die as gracefully as you do now.”
Yugong bit his lip until it bled.
“I’ll keep that in mind… I’ll do it.”
“Good.”
Hu Jiaming finally turned and walked away. The Wonjinbangdo also lifted the siege and retreated, leaving behind regret. Only then did Yugong turn his head and
look at the villagers. Naturally, the villagers’ eyes were not at all friendly.
Criticism and hostility. Yugong clenched his fists without realizing it in his young eyes.
‘I wasn’t wrong.’
It should be so,
no, it had to be so.
