Episode 133. It depends on how you look at it.
Assemblyman Jang Moon-jin burst into laughter, seemingly taken aback.
“Haha! At least a month. It might take longer.”
“Can’t a carriage do that?”
“No, you can’t. Your upper body will shake, so it’s no different from walking.”
“But what if I absolutely have to ride it?”
“It’s cold outside so it won’t spread right away, but I still recommend not moving around.”
“Should I keep applying good ointment?”
Yoo Geun-sik glanced at Namgung Cheon.
Each of the famous martial arts schools has its own unique story to tell.
The golden elixir of Namgung Se-ga, one of the five great martial arts masters, is especially famous.
Didn’t the congressman just say, ‘It’s not dangerous because you applied good ointment’?
Jang Moon-jin shook his head at his opponent’s stubbornness.
I am worried, but considering the strong physical strength of the martial artists, it is difficult to say that it is impossible.
Besides, the elixir he used was close to an elixir, although I don’t know who made it.
Suddenly, the thought occurred to me, ‘These people might be from a pretty famous sect.’
It might be possible with that level of gold.
In the end, Jang Moon-jin decided to send the patient. Treatment depends on the patient’s will, and he did not want to stop the patient from going.
“Hmm! If it were summer, I would have said absolutely not. But it is winter, and you have good elixirs… … . Let’s go after one more day of treatment.”
Yoo Geun-sik looked at Yeon-jeok-ha at the congressman’s words.
Yeonjeokha nodded at his gaze, which seemed to be asking her to look after him for just one day.
Seol Cha-su was injured, so it would have been better to rest for a day or so. Since there was no set deadline anyway, that was understandable.
Only then did color return to Yoo Geun-sik’s face.
Yeonjeokha and his party left, leaving Seolchasu and Yugeunsik in the hospital.
In the doctor’s office, the glasses were so close that if they fell, their noses would touch them.
Since two men were missing, this time Namgungcheon of Cheongung Sword was put in solitary confinement.
People went into their rooms and stayed home. They didn’t say anything, but it seemed like they were having a hard time.
***
Around lunchtime, Gucheonno went down to the restaurant with Simtong.
Namgungcheon was still resting, so only Hwayongdoksim Namgungyeon and Jinseolha were in the restaurant.
Since Namgung Yeon and Jin Seol-ha were already eating, Yeon Jeok-ha and Sim Tong sat down next to them.
While the two were ordering food from Jeomso-i, Namgungcheon came down.
Namgungcheon greeted the group that had arrived first and sat down in front of Yeonjeokha.
Since it was still winter, the only guests in the inn were Yeonjeokha and her party.
After finishing the meal with Namgung Yeon, we leisurely drank tea.
They look a little more relaxed since there are no other guests around.
The appearances of Yeonjeokha, Simtong, and Namgungcheon, who finished their meal late, were similar to theirs.
How much time has passed?
Yeonjeokha, who was fondling a warm cup of tea, turned her head to Namgungcheon.
“older brother.”
“huh?”
“Why did Yoo So-hyeop say he wanted to go with me? He seemed to be quite badly injured.”
“The warriors of the Jeongpa consider it a great honor to be a knight. So this incident must be very important to him. He would think that an injury of that level is nothing.”
“is it so?”
I couldn’t understand the relationship.
All I’m doing is following you around, so why risk your life for something like that?
“Master, don’t worry about it. The true believers are obsessed with useless things.”
The words of the heartbreaking love touched my heart.
Even in his own eyes, Yoo Geun-sik was certainly close to obsession. How could he follow him with such an injured body when he was not of much help in battle!
Namgungcheon said with a sly smile.
“As the old man said, it could be seen as an obsession. However, I think that the ‘dedication’ of people like that is what protects the right values.”
What Simtong called obsession, Namgungcheon called devotion.
“It is important to fight the enemy directly with a sword, but it is also an essential task that someone must do to collect information about the enemy. Enemy.”
“yes.”
“Everything depends on how you look at it. Big and small, right and wrong, life and death. A master like you has to embrace everything. Otherwise, the world becomes a tough place.”
Yeonjeok nodded silently.
I thought I knew what Namgungcheon was trying to say.
If his grandmother and the elders of Waryongjang had been like Namgungcheon, his own life would not have been so painful.
Suddenly, Namgungcheon appeared again.
It seems that the agreement between the political parties is not just hypocrisy.
At that moment, Jinseolha approached and thrust something in front of Yeonjeokha.
It was a round, rolled up bundle of paper.
“Yeon So-hyeop, I’ve organized the ten horse soldiers. Can you take a look and see if they’re okay?”
Yeonjeok nodded, having nothing else to do.
Jinseolha quickly sat down next to Yeonjeokha and unfolded the rolled up paper.
The names written on the paper were Superheat Mine, Flame Mine, and Ilcorn Mine.
As I was about to read the caption next to it, Jin Seol-ha quickly spoke.
“I named it Super Heat Mine because its body is red-hot and black like lava. And the one that spits fire and lava from its hands and mouth is a Flame Mine… … .”
“Oh, because the Ilgokkama has only one horn on its head?”
“Yes, I named it so that anyone who sees it can recognize it immediately.”
He nodded with a look of admiration on his face.
Naming them this way brought vivid images of monsters to mind.
Namgung Cheon’s words, “This is something that absolutely needs to be done by someone,” came to mind.
‘The distinction between big and small things was truly futile.’
I think I finally understand what they mean when they say, ‘Everything depends on how you look at it.’
‘Ah! I’m really a frog in a well.’
Yeonjeokha looked at Namgungcheon with respectful eyes.
“Why? Do you have something to say to me?”
“No. Because I respect you, hyung.”
“Haha! You’ve finally developed an eye for people. Keep respecting me.”
Namgungcheon, who was embarrassed, accepted it as a joke.
After a while, he read all the articles about the ten horse soldiers and returned them to Jin Seol-ha.
“It’s really good. Just the name reminds me of those monsters.”
“Really? That’s fortunate.”
Jin Seol-ha, who was rolling up the paper again, said absentmindedly.
“There is a one-horned horse, so maybe a two-horned horse will appear someday.”
“hmm…….”
A slurred voice flowed from Yeonjeokha’s mouth.
I have an ominous feeling that this might be the case.
How strong would such a monster be?
Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
Namgungcheon suddenly said something to try to lighten the mood.
“If it has two horns, it’s the Demon King?”
“Brother, who is the Uma King?”
Namgungcheon answered Yeonjeokha’s question with a smile.
“In the book Journey to the West, there is a monster with a cow’s head, and that monster’s name is Uma-wang.”
“Ah! It’s a cow monster.”
“Okay. You should read it later when you have time. It’s quite interesting.”
For a while, people were absorbed in the story of Journey to the West that Namgungcheon had brought out. Thanks to that, the uneasy feeling caused by the Sipduma disease disappeared.

Boeun Hospital.
Seol Cha-su, who was resting in a room prepared for patients, turned his head slightly.
And then he asked Yu Geun-sik, who was lying face down on his stomach.
“Father Yu, if possible, just stay here and take care of yourself. I’m so anxious that I can’t see you.”
“Don’t worry. It’ll be better tomorrow.”
“I guess that’s how it is. The body will have to follow, but are you really okay with that?”
“Yes, believe in human potential.”
“Jin and I can collect the data, so why do you want to follow us so far away?”
“It’s not just because of that.”
Seol Cha-su blinked at the unexpected words.
It sounded like there was something more important going on.
“Was there another reason?”
After hesitating for a while, Yoo Geun-sik quietly opened his mouth.
“Death penalty, you must not tell anyone else. Especially not to Sister Jin.”
“Okay. What is it?”
Seol Cha-su asked in a subtle tone.
Since ancient times, secrets are thrilling enough just by being known.
“I want to stay by Lady Namgung’s side longer.”
“What? Who?”
“This is Lady Namgung.”
Seol Cha-su thought it was a joke and laughed.
“Hey! You idiot. Don’t even look at a tree you can’t climb. You’ll end up breaking your neck for no reason.”
“That’s okay. You can just look at it from afar.”
“Really?”
“yes.”
Seolchasu’s eyes widened.
Judging from the seriousness in Yoo Geun-sik’s voice, he seems to be sincere.
There hasn’t been much talk about Namgung Yeon for a while, so what’s going on all of a sudden?
“No, you’ve never said anything like that before.”
“I fell in love today.”
“suddenly?”
“Yes, when she saved our lives, my heart skipped a beat. I’ve never felt that way before.”
“Isn’t that because you’re so surprised? My heart was pounding today too. I really thought I was going to face King Yeomra.”
“It wasn’t the death penalty. My trembling was a kind of trembling that was accompanied by excitement.”
“Come on, Inma. It’s the same feeling when you’re surprised and your heart starts pounding and when you’re excited.”
“Absolutely different. I felt something fateful from Lady Namgung.”
“Huh! So, you want to be with me not because of the great cause entrusted to you by the Justice Alliance, but because you love me so much?”
“It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
“Be careful. Can you handle Lady Namgung? Judging from how you wielded your sword today, you seem to be the best among the later indexes. Do you know the rumor that Hwayong Doksim has a different personality?”
“Sincerity is the key to success.”
“Whether you’re serious or not, take care of your own life. If Lady Namgung gets angry, the only person who can stop her is Yeon So-hyeop. But it doesn’t seem like Yeon So-hyeop will stand up for you.”
“Death penalty, why are you so pessimistic?”
“You’re being overly optimistic. But you’re really amazing for feeling love while your life was on the line.”
Seolchasu shook his head.
Yoo Geun-sik, who was excited for no reason, suddenly turned over, forgetting his situation.
“There’s no such thing, ugh!”
Yu Geun-sik’s back hit the floor and he twisted his body again with a scream.
“Priest, calm down. What are you saying?”
“They say people become honest when their lives are at stake. It was only after I was stabbed in the back that I realized that I was in love with Lady Namgung.”
“Tsk! It was my fault for expecting such great responsibility or consultation from you.”
“Of course, I do have that kind of intention. That’s why I said it’s killing two birds with one stone.”
“Ha! Don’t even mention that for a while. If people find out, they’ll call you a person who doesn’t understand the situation.”
“Sir, I’m not that clueless. Do you think I’d show it in front of other people?”
“Never do that. The moment you show it, you become a weirdo.”
“Oh! Do you think I’m an idiot? Well, from your perspective, does it seem like Lady Namgung has a man?”
“How could she be? She has a beautiful appearance and amazing martial arts skills. Most men wouldn’t even look at her. I told you. Don’t even look at her.”
Seol Cha-su looked at Yoo Geun-sik with pitiful eyes.
I would support him if there was even a slight possibility, but he doesn’t seem to have that awareness.
Wuxia,
