Episode 281 There is nothing as scary as the consistency of words and actions.
Black Cat Room was also an important base, so I couldn’t leave without thinking. First of all, I planned to stay until Sogunpyeong finished the fortune-telling breakfast, so I went outside the main hall and watched the monkeys practicing.
While looking around, I was surprised to find the Seven Chungs, who were originally servants of the Demon Demon.
“Hey bug.”
Chilchung, the youngest of the Gold and Silver Chilchungs, looked back at me.
“yes?”
“Come here.”
Chilchung walked over and stood in front of me. I asked after observing Chilchung’s expression and prayer.
“Why are you here?”
Chilchung answered with a puzzled expression.
“It was originally here all along.”
“Did you?”
“yes.”
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
“I have nowhere to go. And Teacher Yukhap told me that he would beat me to death if I didn’t behave well, so I’m just behaving calmly.”
“What about other gold and silver chili peppers?”
When Chilchung turned around, Gold and Silver Chilchung quietly appeared among the monkeys who were training. The gold and silver chilchung was originally most afraid of demons, and I defeated such demons and seriously injured them. Therefore, the man that Gold, Silver and Chilchung fears the most is me.
“How have you been?”
Chilchung thought about the answer and said this.
“I was often scolded by So Gakju.”
“Smoking tricks?”
“How did you know?”
“It’s written on your face. “Come and see all the gold and silver chili peppers.”
All the seven insects gathered together and stood side by side. What should I say about this feeling? These seven people are all beaten to death by me in their past lives. In particular, when I looked at the two insects and the four insects, I realized why I felt uneasy.
Those two guys were blatantly looking for a dispute when they first appeared in the Black Cat Room.
It means that they are guys who expose women to some extent.
Fortunately, even if all seven of them combined their strength, they were not skilled enough to deal with Sugunpyeong and the executives of Heukmyobang.
“You guys want to stay here. Otherwise, I would like to go to Teacher Yukhap in Ilyanghyeon.”
Ilchung, who was still, asked.
“Are you training, by any chance?”
“right.”
“Then I won’t go. “Even if we were there, it wouldn’t help.”
“Then you will continue to stay in the Black Tomb Room.”
“yes.”
“Ask General Byeok to name you properly.”
“What’s your name?”
“I can’t keep calling you bugs. “Are you bugs?”
“no.”
“I guess you are the eldest brother, right?”
“yes.”
“You take good care of your brothers. The fight has increased, and if there is news that there was an accident, your brothers will be beaten to death. Either die to me or die to Su Junpyeong. okay?”
Ilchung, who understood what he meant, looked at his younger brothers and nodded.
“All right.”
I looked around at the guys I had beaten to death in my past life. To survive like this, these people were truly the ones whose fate had changed.
I asked Il-chung, the eldest brother.
“How about being in the black cat room?”
Ilchung gave an answer I didn’t expect.
“It’s so good. “The rice is delicious too.”
“Is it good because the rice is delicious?”
“yes. Mrs. Son’s cooking skills are truly outstanding. “Everyone takes good care of me.”
Come to think of it, if I harassed Lady Son, Master Hoyeoncheong would beat me to death again. There were men in the dark room who could suppress them in many ways.
“Good. I feel strange to hear that you guys are doing so well unexpectedly. Although not now, the Black Cat Room was a dark power. A sword fight may suddenly break out one day, so make sure you help Sogunpyeong well in that case. “You have experienced many fights following Mr. Yukhap.”
“All right.”
I looked around at the seven people and then spoke.
“Now, if you have a real name, use your real name. If you don’t have one, ask Commander-in-Chief Byeok to give you a human-like name. Looking back, I was planning to kill you and Mr. Yukhap, but perhaps fate changed and they all survived. “Let each person find the reason why their fate changed.”
Ilchung asked with a curious expression.
“I have a question.”
“what.”
“Should I call you Lord Ark from now on? Or should I say Moonju.”
I nodded.
“From now on, call me Munju. “For Sogunpyeong, I call it Ark.”
“All right. Thank you for caring me. Lord Moon.”
“Oh, and I have a special wish for you seven.”
“Please speak.”
I said while looking around at the gold and silver chili peppers.
“From now on, you will treat General Byeok as your direct superior, just as you did when you served Mr. Yukhap. If you give him the job of messenger, he will do it and greet you every morning. Although he is weaker in martial arts than you, he is someone you can learn a lot from. I think he is the commander-in-chief of the Black Cat Chamber and assists Hao Wen’s military. This is a special mission. “Can you do it?”
Ilchung looked at me and answered.
“I will.”
“Every time you complete a big or small mission, I will ask Commander-in-Chief Byeok to give you either a monthly salary or a daily salary. “You each live your life trying to figure out what you want to do with the money you earn, and when you find your dream, you can become independent as an individual at any time without being restricted by anything.”
Ilchung asked back with his eyes wide open.
“Independence?”
I nodded.
“I have to be independent. You can also learn painting from Master Byeok. Commander-in-Chief Byeok may entrust the guest room to one of you. If your martial arts training is still good, it is a good thing to continue improving. “Let each of you think about how you want to live.”
Gold, Silver and Chilchung looked at each other’s faces and answered.
“yes.”
“All right.”
In the past, they were bugs, not people, but I treated them like people anyway.
I was practicing external exercises here and there, and after taking off my jangsam, I became a monkey and started doing pull-ups with my subordinate monkeys. Today, I planned to spend time training, eating, and talking nonsense with my subordinates.
* * *
After dinner, I met the new civil servants in the main hall.
“What I called was nothing else.”
“Yes, Ark.”
“Now call me Moonju. “So Gunpyeong will be in charge of the Black Cat Ark.”
“All right.”
“That’s not important.”
I looked at the three young people fighting and asked.
“Is there anyone among these people who wants to become a medical woman?”
“What does a medical woman do?”
“It’s basically taking care of patients. Sometimes I assist doctors and sometimes I provide treatment myself. There is a lot to study and learn. Above all, most of my colleagues are women. “It’s the opposite of here.”
“Mrs. Son chose us. Can we go as medical women if we want?”
“You guys want to do it. All I have to do is give permission. “If I tell you to, Mrs. Son will also have to become a medical woman.”
Among the three wives, one of the women is exceptionally beautiful, and there are too many men in the black cat room. I was thinking of taking it out because it didn’t fit well.
“If you have any questions, ask.”
“What kind of person is the congressman?”
“also.”
“If we leave, won’t there be a shortage of workers?”
“also.”
“I hope you’re not scared of the congressman.”
I answered three people’s questions in succession.
“Mo Yong-baek is an outstanding lawmaker. There will be a lot to learn. He’s a good person. Every time I visit, I see that the medical women’s skills have improved, and I can tell that they are good at teaching. If there are not enough workers here, you can hire them again. Instead, I should pick a guy. Mo Yongbaek is not a scary person. “He’s a busy guy.”
“I want to go.”
The beautiful woman I had been eyeing raised her hand.
“also?”
“I want to go too.”
“I like it here. It’s so close to my house that it’s convenient to be able to go to work and back home. Please take good care of Son, too.”
“Two of them become medical women and one stays behind?”
“yes.”
I nodded.
“I get it. Do whatever you want. I’ll call you two when I leave, so let’s go together. “I’m resting.”
“All right.”
After sending the quarrels away, I dozed off for a while with my feet up on the table. After training with the monkeys for nearly half a day, I fell into a deep sleep. After a while, So Gunpyeong walked out and called me.
“Lord Moon.”
“huh.”
“I left after finishing breakfast.”
I just opened my eyes and looked at So Gunpyeong sitting next to me.
“Hey, I’m surprised. Who are you?”
Sogunpyeong seemed to have taken a bath or something, and his spirit looked much brighter than usual. Sogunpyeong said.
“I had some waste coming out of my pores, so I washed it out. “Lord Moon, is this right?”
“why?”
Su Junping looked at his hands and said this.
“My strength has increased tremendously.”
“Um… actually, I don’t know. It’s not like I’ve been watching it for a hundred years. “If the efficacy is good, you must be older.”
However, from what I could see, Sogunpyeong’s prayer had clearly changed.
“Gunpyeong’s body became stronger because it trained every day. “No matter how good the elixir you took, if your usual physical condition was bad, you wouldn’t have seen such a big effect.”
“That is correct.”
“…I will take charge of the Black Cat Ark from now on. “There is no special gift to give.”
“All right.”
He didn’t look too happy because he had been handed responsibility.
“Keep an eye on the gold and silver chili peppers. Lee Chung and Sa Chung are the type that originally reveal women. So, I will take some of the disputes to Moyonguiga. “Recruit the missing personnel internally.”
“All right.”
“Lord Mun, is there any news from the Demonic Cult?”
“not yet.”
“Um…”
“Why?”
“There is a large business called Taecheong Sangdan (太靑商團), located midway between Unsan and Cheongwon, and what they are doing is no different from the black market. “I discussed it with the envoy a few times, and I was wondering if it would be okay for us to destroy the Taecheong Sangdan.”
Since I was born in Sogunpyeongdo and am a man from Heukdo, the only answer I could think of was something like shattering.
“For what?”
“Munja Yeon Ja-seong purchased a lot of building materials, and all of them were materials to be used in the commercial building repair work recommended by General Manager Byeok. However, after delivering half of the quantity, the material cost doubled as the price changed. I tried asking around and they hit me in the head like that every time. If you protest, you may respond by checking to see if there is a force or expert who will support you. “It seems like there are some experts inside the top as well.”
“I am behind Yeon Ja-seong, so why did Tae-cheong Sang-dan come out like that?”
“I told him about Lord Moon, but he didn’t budge.”
“why?”
Sogunpyeong looked at me.
“It’s probably because Lord Mun’s reputation is lacking.”
“You’re kidding, right? “How can I further increase my reputation here?”
“I’m half joking. “The Baekris family is looking after the Taecheong Sangdan.”
“Oh, it wasn’t a black island?”
“yes.”
“The white people who are crazy about money are just as crazy as the black people. Ah, there is that Shinnam Four Dragon in Baekri Family. “They seem to think that their reputation is equal to mine, or they look down on me because I am the Sixth Dragon who came in late.”
So Gunpyeong blinked and then asked.
“What is that?”
“Oh, there is something like that.”
“The four dragons and the six dragons are very childish.”
“Why are you fucking with me? “It’s a nickname given by the leader.”
“Then we should move on.”
“But Baek Ri-sega is behind you, and you were trying to hit the Tae-cheong Sang-dan with the envoy?”
“Yes, Yeon Ja-seong’s younger brother was in trouble, so we thought we’d do something to him.”
“Heh heh….”
I thought that the time had come for my subordinates to go crazy.
“I actually like this shit.”
“That’s right.”
“But for now, let’s compete with the written word. Tell them to hand over all the materials for the promised price. And in my name, tell the owner of Taechung to come to Ilyang County. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come. I have to notify you first. And make sure to write down the message that you should trust Baek Ri-se and not make jokes.”
“Is this a declaration of war?”
“Anyway, after making fun of him, harassing him, and even ridiculing him, send him a letter. I’ll decide next time after seeing what happens. “They say rich people do business more strangely.”
“All right.”
“Now that I think about it, is this the reason why there is only money going out and no money coming in these days?”
“Yes, we still have plenty of funds, but if we continue like this, we may devote ourselves to opening up. “It seems that money will come in only when the guest cups and tables placed here and there run smoothly.”
“This all happened because I wasn’t good enough.”
“That’s right.”
“It’s strange. If I want to survive, I have no choice but to keep hitting the black sword. “I realized once again that stabilizing the people’s livelihood was also related to my pocketbook.”
Sogunpyeong said.
“Later, when the store organization returns, there will be no problem with income.”
When you go out to Jianghu, you become involved in events within Jianghu, and when you return to Haomen, you become involved in internal events. Whether I went outside or not, Gangho’s incidents and accidents were swirling around me.
“Anyway, back to the point.”
“yes.”
I looked at Sogunpyeong.
“It may be because of the elixir I gave you, but you have become stronger anyway. “It’s something to celebrate.”
“Thanks to Lord Moon. Anyway, I’m really surprised that Moonju seems to get stronger every time I see him. “You seem to be busy moving around, but is there a reason why you keep getting stronger?”
“I can’t really recommend the method of becoming strong like me.”
“Why?”
I let out a long sigh.
“You’re risking your life. I almost died two or three times if I remember. In particular, I thought I would just plan a two-way battle with senior Cheonak, but that didn’t happen.”
“How did you survive against heavenly evil?”
I spoke as if making a request to Sogunpyeong.
“You have to speak well. Don’t forget either. When martial arts is pushed back, you must always fight with words. “You know because you’ve been through it too.”
“I know. How do you practice that?”
I grabbed Sogunpyeong’s shoulder.
“Craving is the foundation. Let’s test the one who doesn’t listen first. The mindset of grinding until your ears bleed. Next, you have to look into the other person’s psychology and try to change the situation. After checking to see if there are any loopholes, I write a season. It’s like a martial arts battle. “There are a lot of subordinates in the Black Cat Room, so you too should sharpen yourself.”
“All right.”
“If you can subdue someone with words, your martial arts skills will also improve.”
“This is my first time hearing this.”
“It’s true. Jiaozhou Cheonak Open Ark all spoke uniquely and well. Cheonak was not an eloquent speaker, but his speaking style was scarier than anyone else’s. Do you know why?”
“I do not know.”
“It’s because he is a person who always keeps his words. There is nothing more scary than the consistency of words and actions. “You too must have your own words and actions. Now you have to lead the Black Cat Room.”
I made eye contact with So Gunpyeong and then smiled.
“Now it’s Black Cat Ark Sogunpyeong.”
Sogunpyeong also chuckled.
“That’s it.”
I burst out laughing as I remembered craving Sogunpyeong in front of Chunyang Restaurant.
“Are you thinking about fighting in front of that spot?”
“that’s right.”
So Gunpyeong must have been thinking of that too, as he moved his shoulders and laughed.
