Episode 754 Disciple is fine! (4)
“…Yes?”
Deng Qian closed his big eyes.
He, a second-generation disciple of Ghost Gate, had just arrived here after receiving an order from his superiors to go to Gugang immediately at a mountain lodge he had stopped by on his way back from delivering a special ticket to Wuhan.
But now the noblemen in front of him were telling stories that made absolutely no sense.
“All you have to do is spread the word.”
“Rumors?”
“yes. All you have to do is spread the word that Mr. Master is boarding a ship with a special ticket.”
“…Why do you have to do that?”
Of course, it is one of the special envoys’ duties to inform about special envoys and galactic envoys. Isn’t that why Deung-gyeom wears such flashy clothes?
As with any business, promotion is half the battle.
No matter how useful a special ticket is, who would look for a special ticket if people don’t know that such a thing exists in the world?
That’s why we have been working hard to publicize the existence of special signs for the Galaxy and Ghost Moons.
‘But isn’t this a different problem?’
Why spread such a rumor in Gugang, where there don’t seem to be many people who would request a favor? It only adds to the risk.
“Let it spread well without giving the appearance of being too conscious of spreading the rumor! That naturalness is important.”
Deng Qian, who was speechless, saw Heo Yeo Mulgeon standing in front of him… no, he just stared blankly at the handsome young man, who honestly had never been seen anywhere else before, smiling and emphasizing his words.
And I realized one truth of the world.
‘Heaven does not give everything.’
It seems like in exchange for your face, you took my head…
“Do you understand?”
“…yes. I understand what you are saying, but… why do you have to do this? Even so, the Yangtze River is infested with enemy forces and is causing chaos in the country. If we do this, isn’t this just going to drag us in even further?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
“yes?”
“That’s exactly what we want.”
Deng Qian also smiled as he looked at Baek Chen, a man smiling brightly.
‘I’m definitely not in my right mind.’
Now that I think about it, I think I heard somewhere that the people of Hwasan are not all strong, but crazy… If you
think about it, the time you visited the Ghost Gate before this guy was no joke…
“Then what about after that?”
“We should take a boat.”
“…a boat?”
“yes.”
“You spread a lot of rumors that a special agent is on a ship, attract enemies, and then actually board the ship?”
“Yes, it is. But there is nothing to worry about. We will ride together too. You won’t hurt a single finger if you use special equipment. Please trust us.”
Instead of answering, Deng Qian slowly moved his gaze from left to right.
Seeing all the Hwasan disciples making confident expressions made me smile.
“…Am I the only special agent around here?”
“….”
“If it’s okay, you could call someone else….”
“Hehehehe.” “Even jokes.”
“No, I’m not kidding…”
“One o’clock is urgent. now. Well then, thank you for your hard work!”
“Hey you guys! Do you have about ten lives?! “I have to say something that makes sense…!”
In the end, Jo Geol and Yoon Jong dragged Deung Gyeom, who was yelling and protesting, dragging him away.
Baekcheon, who was watching this, sighed and expressed doubt.
“Why don’t you understand?”
“Sasuk.”
“huh?”
Dang Soso smiled brightly and gave kind advice.
“When you return to Huashan, don’t play with Brother Qingming for a while.”
“….”
“They say that if you see each other often, you resemble each other. I guess that’s really true.”
I think that’s an insult?
right? Right?
* * *
Tang Soso, who was shaking with a red face, hastily covered his mouth.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
You shouldn’t laugh. We should not disparage the efforts of those who prepared desperately.
But…
‘I can’t stand it!’
Isn’t this really too much to do?
“What is this?”
Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and cried out, and the other disciples turned to each other. Then we burst out laughing, thinking that each other’s appearance was ridiculous and ridiculous.
Jo Geol said while looking at Yoon Jong.
“execution.”
“huh?”
“…Where are you going to farm?”
Yunjong, dressed roughly in cotton clothes he had found somewhere, looked like he was about to go plow the field at any moment.
“Why are your pants rolled up?”
“…Did you just follow someone who was passing by?”
“I guess he was a woodcutter who came out to sell goods. You have no sense….”
Yoonjong cried out in tears as Jogeol clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry for him.
“You bastard!”
“What’s wrong with me? This is the silk clothing that is very popular in Hangzhou these days! Tsk tsk tsk. I still ate it in Sacheon once…”
“Have you ever been to Hangzhou?”
“….”
Wearing silk clothes embroidered with colorful flowers, he looked like a Parakho roaming the streets at night rather than the son of a rich family.
But the two were a little better.
“Accident…”
Tang Soso turned his head away, unable to face Yu Yi-seol. Still, the fabric looked good, as if he had faithfully followed the instructions to dress to look like he had some money. The problem is that the top is yellow, the pants are blue, and the robe is red.
I felt like my eyes would roll just by looking at it.
“This was an accident…”
Yu Iseol turned her head and looked at one person with a look of injustice in her eyes and said.
“I at least tried.”
Then everyone’s eyes were focused on one person.
“What can I do!”
After receiving all the attention, he vented his anger in a blood-stained voice.
“What would happen if everyone wore different clothes! In the first place…”
“He’s bald.”
“Yes, he’s bald.”
“Young bald men are not easy to find.”
Tears welled up in Hyeyeon’s eyes.
No, is it really nonsense to tell someone to disguise themselves to look like they have money?
If you wear silk clothes, you will be bald in silk clothes, and if you wear leather fur, you will be bald in fur!
Hyeyeon even took a picture of Gye-in. No matter how he disguised himself, at best he was an apostate monk who ran out of the temple.
So in the end, I had no choice but to get a plain gray monk’s uniform instead of the Shaolin yellow robe.
“There are mendicants, so… wouldn’t it be okay?”
“Well, there’s nothing we can do.”
“I understand, monk.”
Everyone understood Hyeyeon’s situation. Tang Soso spoke firmly and clearly.
“Even if you don’t know Monk Hyeyeon, other people can’t! “Please change again.”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Yoonjong’s face.
“But Soso. Since I was a child, I have never worn anything other than Hwasan’s uniform. So what on earth should I wear….”
“Jogeol’s death penalty.”
“huh?”
“Go to a nearby shopping mall and pay for some clothes that the merchants wear. All you have to do is pack one bag and pretend to be a merchant.”
“Uh… I didn’t think of that. “I also come from a merchant family.”
“Go quickly.”
“yes!”
As Jo Geol and Yoon Jong rushed out, Dang Soso sighed.
When it comes to martial arts, he is more dependable than anyone else in the world, but when it comes to ordinary things, he is worse than an ordinary person.
It was then.
“Is everyone ready?”
After changing his clothes, Baekcheon opened the door and entered.
“….”
“….”
Everyone looked at him with blank eyes, unable to answer. Bai Qian asked a little embarrassed.
“why? “What’s wrong?”
“no. “That…”
Tang Soso blinked and chose his words.
Surprisingly, contrary to her expectations, Baekcheon came dressed perfectly. The dark ocher-colored cotton clothes seemed appropriate for someone doing dirty work, and the hair pulled back into a tight ponytail was a style that could also be seen on ordinary merchants.
But…
“That’s strange.”
“It’s really strange.”
“It’s so clever of you that this doesn’t suit you so well.”
Clothes and people play separately.
As anyone could see, it looked like the family’s child had run away from home, stole the servant’s clothes, and came out.
“The world is really unfair….”
Tang Soso shook his head, pushing past Baek Sang, who was sighing in frustration.
“I can’t stay in private quarters. “Let’s give up on merchants.”
“huh?”
“Anyway, this is going to happen in reverse. “Dress from head to toe in silk clothes so that anyone can see that you are the child of a noble family on a cruise on the Yangtze River.”
“Why should you do that?”
“…It’s annoying to explain the reason out loud, so just do as I’m told.”
“….”
“We are scheduled to go on a boat during the day today, so everyone needs to move quickly! “Did you know?”
“Oh, I understand.”
“I am! “Why don’t you evaluate me?”
Tang Soso chuckled at Baek Sang’s words.
“Sasuk is fine. “You can wear anything.”
“why?”
“If you wear nice clothes, you will look like a general who followed a nobleman, and if you wear dirty clothes, you will look like a servant. Just stick close to Baekcheon’s residence.”
“….”
Tang Soso clapped his hands loudly as he looked at the white statue whose soul had been completely ripped out and its flesh and bones separated in an instant.
“what are you doing? Quick! “Move quickly.”
Just then, Jo Geol came back in a hurry and distributed the clothes she had bought to everyone. Everyone started picking out clothes and putting them on.
“Okay. “What is this doing?”
“Is it really going to work out?”
“I don’t really trust you….”
“How can this work? “I just do it because I’m told to.”
Baekcheon sighed as he listened to the complaints pouring in from all over.
‘Cheongmyeong.’
The day will come when I will understand you.
Honestly, I really want to beat them all….
all of them….
* * *
“There they are.”
“Let’s get on.”
Huashan’s disciples looked at Deng Qian’s back as he boarded the boat.
Surprisingly, Deng Qian performed my duties well. Thanks to this, the story spread that the special sign of the galactic journey had come to Gugang more than expected.
Yoonjong and Jogeol talked quietly.
“You won’t notice, right?”
“There won’t be any problem. “If they were to reside here, the information available from the watercolor side would only be fragmentary.”
“Hmm. “I guess so?”
“I’m not sure if Sasook even considered that.”
This guy?
Baekcheon, who was listening, was about to say something.
“Is that possible?”
“You must have caught a mouse when the cow walked backwards.”
“Even mice are unlucky.”
Poke.
My stomach hurt.
In the meantime, I didn’t know when Cheongmyeong was sharing his dissatisfaction with those guys.
The fact is that these guys are so dissatisfied.
‘I hope they all die.’
sincerely…!
“Let’s go now.”
“okay.”
Baekcheon took the lead and walked forward. Every time he took a step, his colorful silk robe fluttered gracefully.
“huh?”
But there was no sound of spirit following me from behind, so I stopped and turned around.
“Aren’t you going?”
“Go first.”
“…why?”
“Sasuk is a nobleman and we are merchants, so wouldn’t it be strange if we went together?”
“Take Baeksang Sasuk and ride first.”
“….”
Baekcheon asked with a slightly shaken expression.
“You’re not doing this because you’re embarrassed to go together, are you?”
All that came back was deep silence. Baekcheon closed his eyes tightly and turned around.
“Let’s go, white shark.”
“…Yes, death penalty.”
There was a slight look of tension on his face as he headed towards the large ship anchored at the dock.
‘The fact that there was no significant damage to merchants probably means that they were only targeting special sales. If my thoughts are right, I will definitely come this time too.’
It’s a burden to have to deal with enemy enemies on the water… but if you keep wasting your time like this, you won’t be able to eat or porridge.
‘What would you have done if you were him?’
Baekcheon slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.
Every time this happened, I felt a big empty space in Cheongmyeong. Until now, Cheongmyeong had done things without Baekcheon having time to think, and all he had to do was decide whether to push him or not. But not anymore.
Baekcheon paused for a moment, but soon composed himself and shook his head.
‘Be cautious but do not hesitate.’
Baekcheon gathered his courage and boarded the boat.
