Episode 168. Why aren’t you sleeping?
He sat down without even looking at the rival swordsman, Feng Wusheng, and the bloodthirsty demon, Chun Sanggong.
“Hehehe, come in. What would you like to get me?”
Jeomsoi came closer and bowed.
Gucheonnodo Simtong and Yu Geunsik ordered food on behalf of their companions.
After Jeomsoi left, Yeonjeokha and his party leisurely drank tea.
Judging from that alone, it seemed like they weren’t there for business, but just to have a meal.
Chunsanggong whispered in Poongwooseong’s ear.
“The man sitting inside of those four is the general patrolman.”
Feng Yucheng frowned slightly.
The opponent looked more like a common rascal than a martial arts master.
It was hard to believe that a seemingly ordinary man could pour down black energy from the sky. However, it must be true, since Chunsanggong had no reason to lie.
Feng Yucheng immediately got up from his seat.
Then he approached Yeonjeokha and bowed his head.
“Nice to meet you. I am the last of the Murim scholars, Poong Woo-seong, greeting you, the General Patrolman of Nokrim.”
Yeonjeokha looked at him with cold eyes.
“who?”
“It is called the Pungwooseong of Heukunbang.”
“however?”
When he came out as a sibijyo, Poongwoosung’s face hardened.
“I heard that our group has done something very wrong to you, Chief Patrolman! If you could please forgive us… … .”
“If you forgive me?”
At the blatant question, dry saliva rolled down Poongwoosung’s throat.
How much should I charge to get him to shut up?
‘Three thousand nyang? Four thousand nyang? Surely not five thousand nyang?’
The worried Poongwoosung carefully opened his mouth.
“I wanted to buy a new carriage, but there are no carriages in the village, so I will repair it for you. Instead, as an apology, I will give you three thousand nyang… … .”
Poong Woo-seong glanced at Yeon Jeok-ha.
He just nodded, seeming to like the amount.
“… … I will give you three thousand nyang.”
“Okay. I’ll take it since you said you’ll give it to me. Just don’t say anything later after I give you the money.”
It felt good to be in love.
It’s understandable that they would offer three thousand nyang for a broken roof on a carriage worth two hundred nyang.
“Oh my! How can that be? I’m not a person who speaks with two mouths.”
“Okay. But.”
“yes?”
Feng Yucheng looked at him with anxious eyes.
My heart started pounding as I thought about what kind of trouble he was trying to pick on me again.
“Why are you fighting with Cheongsanbang?”
“Ah! The Unhak Sangbang wanted us to hand over the Hwangseonru, which was managed by the main office, for a very low price. When we refused to sell, they brought in Cheongsanbang and had them attack us.”
“Why are you picking a fight when the person in question won’t sell it?”
“Since Cheongsanbang is doing quite well, I guess they’re trying to rely on its influence.”
“So you’re fighting the Cheongsanbang?”
“yes.”
Yeonjeokha scratched her head.
As expected, the world is different than it looks. I thought they were bad guys because I was surprised by the Heukunbang. But they were the ones who started the fight first at a place called Unhaksangbang?
This time, Namgungcheon, who had been listening, asked.
“How long will it take to repair the carriage then?”
“I’ve called all the carpenters in the neighborhood together, so it should only take a day.”
“Hmm! Does this mean I have to stay here today?”
“We will provide a room for you and your party to rest comfortably. This inn is actually run by a disciple of our sect.”
“That’s fortunate. Your Majesty, I think it would be okay to rest here today.”
“I wonder? I don’t really care.”
Simtong said a word to Poongwoosung.
“You punk. Our lord hates breaking promises the most. If the carriage isn’t ready by tomorrow, you punk.”
Simtong whispered ‘I’m dying’ with his mouth shaped like a mouth so that he could stop looking.
Feng Wusheng nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling with fear.
***
The outskirts of Heungjungchon.
Shindosanjang.
The right arm of the ark, Hell’s Jongdaso, told the story of what had happened to the ark’s Gogeomwol, Noksajo, in Cheongsanbang.
“On the way here, I saw that the Black Cloud Group’s men had attacked and destroyed the carriage of the Justice Alliance members.”
“Is that why you fought with the Justice League?”
“No, it’s not. It seems like the Justice League people just decided to cover it up.”
“Tsk! What a shame.”
“But now that the Justice League members have gone to the village, they will be quiet for a while.”
“Do you see anyone of use among the Justice Alliance members?”
“They all looked average. One old man in particular gave me goosebumps just by making eye contact.”
“If you ask them for help, will they help you?”
“I had already noticed them, but they were so worn out that they showed no signs of moving.”
“So in the end, we have to fight Heukunbang with our own strength.”
“That’s right.”
“Wow! I thought it would end easily, but I didn’t know that Heukunbang’s resistance would be this strong.”
“Your Majesty, why is Unhak Sangbang so obsessed with Hwangseonru?”
“They say they will try to grow Hwangseonru into Hwanghakru.”
“Huh! Like the Yellow Crane Tower? That wouldn’t be easy.”
“I heard that there is still a lot of money coming from the commercial area near Hwangseonru. If Hwangseonru develops, the amount of money earned will change.”
“Then wouldn’t Heukwoonbang be more reluctant to let it go?”
“If money doesn’t work, then the next option is the sword. It’s not like it’s been a while since you’ve fought with the martial arts world’s defenses.”
“I wonder if this isn’t just making things worse for nothing.”
“The bigger the job, the better. Our Cheongsanbang’s name will become widely known. We can’t just wander around the outskirts forever, right? We should also fly high with Unhaksangbang.”
When the two were discussing the fight against Cheongunbang.
The general’s voice was heard from outside the door.
“My lord, Yiwolchun, who was out in the village, has returned. What should we do?”
“Listen, tell me.”
“yes.”
After a while, the door to the pavilion opened and a young man in his twenties cautiously entered.
The green algae stared at him intently.
“So, what’s the current situation at Heukwoonbang?”
“They are still not moving from the guesthouse. Judging from the doctors coming and going, it seems that they are also treating the injured at the guesthouse.”
“Ugh! You’ve been hit so many times, but now you’re not showing any weakness. How are you going to drag them out?”
Jongdaso asked curiously.
“Have you seen any outsiders in the village?”
“Ah, I heard that the Nokrim General Affairs Corps and its party are staying at the Yeollae Guest House.”
“The Green Forest’s general manager?”
“Yes, I heard that the Black Clouds gang picked on them as they passed by without knowing. So they decided to repair the broken carriage… … .”
“It’s not the Justice Alliance, it’s the Green Forest?”
Jongdaso’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.
They clearly said it was the Justice League, but I don’t understand why it was disguised as Nokrim.
“Yes, I definitely heard that.”
The green algae looked at Jongdaso with a puzzled look.
“What happened? Didn’t you say they were the righteous people?”
“The people I spoke to clearly said they were from the Jeongju branch of the Justice League.”
“Huh! The Justice League and the Green Forest… … .”
The muttering green heron spoke to Yiwolchun again.
“Whether it’s the Justice Alliance or the Green Forest, that’s not the important thing. So you’re saying they’re staying at Yeollae Guest House?”
“Heukwoonbang said they will repair the carriage by tomorrow as an apology.”
“What if I can’t fix it?”
“It seems that they have threatened to kill the ark. The Black Clouds are so shocked that they are gathering all the carpenters from the nearby villages.”
“So, you touched the Nokrim carriage? You promised to finish repairing it by morning?”
“yes.”
“If you can’t keep that promise, Heukwoonbang will suffer serious damage?”
“That’s right.”
“Ohh!”
The corners of Nok Sa-jo’s mouth went up.
As far as he knows, the Green Forest are the most vicious demons in the world.
Aren’t they the ones who make excuses and harass you even when you stay still?
What if you can’t keep your promise?
The Black Cloud Ark is as good as dead. That’s why it’s acting up like that.
‘Look at this?’
If you do it right, you’ll end up blowing someone else’s nose with their own hands.
“Okay, then just get out.”
“yes.”
As Yiwolchun left, Noksajo looked at Jongdaso with meaningful eyes.
“Maybe I can clean up Heukunbang easier than I thought.”
“What is your opinion?”
“Don’t you know yet? All you have to do is make sure the carriage isn’t repaired until morning. Then, Nokrim will take care of destroying Heukunbang.”
“Oh! Are you saying that we should interfere with the carriage repairs?”
“Is there an easier way?”
“No. But if the Green Forest finds out that we tampered with the carriage… … .”
Jongdaso trailed off.
If something like that happens, Cheongsanbang will be like provoking a sleeping lion.
“Of course, we have to do it without anyone knowing. If we succeed, we can end this fight without any damage. This means that Cheongsanbang will advance to the center of Infinite.”
“What are you planning to do?”
“Don’t think too hard about it. Just take a quick look when no one is around.”
“Huh? What if the Heukwoonbang guys come out when they hear the sound… … .”
“Just handle it quietly.”
“It seems impossible. How can you destroy a carriage without making a sound?”
“Oh my! Don’t just say you can’t, think that you can. How can people be so negative?”
“but…….”
“Do it, no matter what. You can do it.”
“Ugh. Yeah… … .”
Jongdaso couldn’t bear to refuse Ark’s instructions.
If you were to repair the carriage by yourself, wouldn’t it be easy? On the other hand, it might be easy to destroy it.

A welcome guest.
Hashtag (11pm).
Simtong, who had been lying down with his eyes closed, laughed heartily.
“Hehehe. I guess something good is happening to Lady Namgung these days? I see she smiles often. Isn’t that right, Your Majesty?”
“Unlike anyone else, whether you smile or not, you are the one who creates a good atmosphere.”
“Who are you? It can’t be me, right?”
“I hate beating around the bush. You know that? Old Man Shim, try not to laugh as much as possible. Every time I hear that ‘hehehe’ sound, it really gives me goosebumps. Even now, I’m so surprised that I can’t sleep.”
“Then, how about laughing like this, ‘Ha ha ha.’”
“Shut up and go to sleep.”
The man who had been shaking his head got up from his bed.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Ha! I woke up because of Mr. Shim’s laughter. It’s really disturbing to hear that kind of sound in the dark of the night.”
The grumbling Yeonjeokha opened the door.
Simtong spoke to the back of the head of the departing Yeonjeokha.
“Hehehe. You’re not doing this because you want to meet other people, are you?”
I closed the door and went down to the restaurant.
‘You’re saying that because you want to meet someone else? Did you see that old man talking to your older sister?’
I took a bottle of alcohol from the kitchen and sat down by the window.
The moonlight was so nice that there was no need to turn on the lights.
Perhaps because of Simtong’s words, my gaze kept turning back.
It seemed like at any moment Namgung Yeon would come up to me and say, “Huh? Are you asleep? What are you doing instead of sleeping?”
‘huh?’
Yeonjeokha’s eyes opened wide.
At a fairly late hour, Namgung Yeon was actually coming down the stairs.
“sister?”
“Huh? What? You weren’t sleeping?”
As Namgung Yeon approached me with a smile, Yeonjeok pinched my cheek without realizing it.
Because I can’t tell if this is a dream or reality.
Namgung Yeon, sitting across from Yeonjeokha, muttered while looking out the window.
“Is there a carriage?”
“They said they had the carriage repaired in front of the inn, not in the stables.”
“It must be because the horses are sensitive.”
“Oh, I see.”
When Yeon-jeok-ha, who was in a good mood for no reason, was giggling and stealing glances at Nam-gung-yeon.
Quasi-snap.
A grating, heavy sound echoed outside the window.
In that moment, Yeonjeokha’s eyes distorted fiercely.
What are you doing adding insult to injury in this good atmosphere?
Wuxia,
