Chapter 196
“Hey, what is this?”
A middle-aged merchant who runs a third-generation linen shop in the center of Taewon, Shanxi Province, opened his mouth.
“Rain, silk.”
The silk, which should have been densely packed, disappeared without a trace, various items were damaged, and the store owner, who should have been busy welcoming guests, was lying on the ground, drenched in sweat.
“thief! There is a thief!”
The merchant’s eyes darkened and his legs gave out.
Although he is already operating several linen shops, Taewon is the largest and most symbolic place that has been handed down from his grandfather.
thieves in such a place To think that all that silk had been robbed!
“Somehow, I thought I was lucky.”
For the past four months, the merchant has visited each province, inspected the stores, and concluded major contracts.
However, the point that I came back after a long time was in a state of disintegration. It was at that time that he collapsed, unable to withstand the shock.
“Tsk tsk, it looks like this here too. Anyway, what are the Murim people?”
The middle-aged man, who was looking around the store while clicking his tongue, widened his eyes when he saw the merchant sitting down.
“uh? when did you come I heard there is a big one this time, but it came earlier than expected.”
However, the merchant, who was already half insane, did not hear those words.
Among the middle-aged man’s words, only one word lingered in his ears.
“Hey, here too?”
”yes?”
snap!
The merchant grabbed the middle-aged man’s collar and brushed it off.
“Surely you did! It looks like this here too!”
“Oh yeah it was. But can we talk about it over the collar?”
“What happened? magician?
thief? Or did the government office requisition because the war broke out? What are the Murim people talking about?”
“Ah, let’s talk about that!”
The middle-aged man, who had barely escaped the merchant’s touch, grumbled while examining his clothes.
“Ah, these are new clothes.”
“If you don’t tell me right away, you will die before you die.”
“Okay. okay.”
“So, what the hell happened?”
The middle-aged man’s answer was simple.
“All sold out.”
“……?
“It’s not that it was stolen, it’s that it’s all sold out. this is my friend So calm down.”
The merchant, who had been staring blankly at the middle-aged man, barely opened his mouth.
“Are you crazy? does that make sense? Who would buy more than a thousand rolls of silk?”
“Government officials, merchants, and Murim people. They all came and swept away without cover.”
“… … why?”
“Why, everyone is doing it to put a snow stamp on Taewon’s true family.”
“Taewon Jin? Is it the Taewon Jin I know?”
“Of course Taewon and Jingaji. Could it be an anti-san inspection?”
“Why the anti-acid check? Did something happen?”
“… … Didn’t you hear?”
“It’s the way back after four months. He said he came right away without seeing his wife’s face!”
“Wait a minute! please calm down I’ll tell you later.”
Not wanting to ruin his new clothes, the middle-aged man quickly and simply explained the situation of the past few months.
After a while, the merchant who had heard all the circumstances from the war between Taewon Jinga and Hangsan Checkpoint until now muttered with a bewildered face.
“Did something like that happen?”
“Because it is. It’s not even a fuss with the appearance of the King of Fire now. Not to mention Shanxi, it is full of foreigners who came to meet him.”
The middle-aged man continued with a flushed face.
“I’ve been doing business in Taiyuan for over twenty years, but this is the first boom like this.”
“For that matter, the number of people on the street seemed to be the same as usual… …
“Sometime after the sun has risen in mid-sky, will you still be idling in the streets?
I packed up a long time ago and ran to Taewon Jinga.”
“Huh, hard to believe.”
“I even robbed all of my inventory.”
“Bur, already?”
“What are you so surprised about? I am nothing compared to you. And this is information I heard from someone I trust… …
“The middle-aged man whispered in a coy voice.
“It looks like the meeting originally scheduled for three days will be extended. Rumors are spreading fast right now, and the real big names are on the move.”
“The real giants?”
“It means that the prestigious Moorim faction has begun to move. His Majesty King Sangsan, the lord of Shijiazhuang, which is said to be the best in Sanggye, also went to Taiwon Jinga early this morning.”
“His Highness King Sangsan?”
“So, even the normally slow-moving officials have become busy. They say that the royal family is coming, so shouldn’t they show their faces and show their last name?”
“yes. It should come sooner than others.”
“What kind of place is Taewon? It is not as good as Zhongyuan, but it is the number one commercial city in Shanxi. I can buy pretty much anything.”
“Local procurement. Are you right?”
“The more people looking for it, the more the item will disappear, so the price will go up.”
The merchant’s eyes flashed. I realized that this wasn’t going to be over in a day or two.
The panic and despair I felt at first disappeared long ago, and a pile of hermits shimmered before my eyes.
‘This is an opportunity.’
You can get acquainted with the characters of Moorim, Sanggye, and Gwan, and if you do it well, you can accomplish great things.
The merchant who finished all the calculations said to the middle-aged man.
“I filled a few warehouses just in case. I’ll hand over some of it at a reasonable price, so tell me calmly. Who should I go to?”
The middle-aged man who got his share answered with a broad smile.
“First, remember only three people. Hwawang, Jin Wi-gyeong, the owner of the Jin family in Taiwon, and Jin Tae-gyeong, the dragon of Shanseo.”
“… … Aside from King Hwa and So Ga-joo, why is Jin Tae-gyeong that idiot?”
“Uh huh, now it’s the Shanseo Jamrong.
Also, you will soon become a great master who will rule the world.”
“What do you mean?”
“Tsk tsk, the person called the merchant is such a dark news.”
The middle-aged man enjoyed the merchant’s expression full of questions. And he finally revealed a fact he hadn’t told him for this moment.
“The King of Fire made Shanseo Jamrong his disciple.”
“What? Is that true!”
“Because it is. Two days ago, the elder of the sectarian faction, unaware of the fact, had gone berserk and returned home in a scolding.
I’ve already entrusted the Sanseo Jamryong with the sacred objects of the Munpa.”
“Well, then… …
“It’s safe to say that half of the people who visit Jinga in Taiwon now go not to the King of Fire, but to impress Shanxi’s Jamryong.”
The King of Fire is obviously one of the best masters in the world, but he is old enough to grow old, and he has no power to speak of.
However, Jin Tae-kyung is different.
At the young age of 21, there was a strong background of excellent Mujae and Taewon Jinga.
‘No, no.’
Now it’s the other way around. Taewon Jinga has a great background.
The background of the famous Hwawang and Jin Tae-gyeong, who can grow into a transcendent master comparable to his teacher in the future.
The merchant’s face turned bright red.
“It’s like putting wings on a tiger.”
“So you should get on it before it flies away.”
It’s an opportunity worth spending all your money on.
The merchant finally made up his mind and opened his mouth.
“I need to meet the Shanseo Jamryong right now.”
“Of course it should come out that way. But now, even if you pack a thousand gold and go, you won’t find it.”
“why?”
“I don’t know. According to Taewon Jinga, the building suddenly closed.”
“Close-up training? Is that what the Muslims do? No, why are you doing that now?”
The middle-aged man let out a deep sigh.
“Say that. From what I’ve heard, the Jincheon sword is also said to be enlightened or something.”
“Hey, is there any way?”
“well. In a short time, the plate has grown so large. Taewon’s true value is also on the verge of bursting, so it looks like he’s being screened for.”
“Hey, didn’t you say that you had a good relationship with a certain lord of Jinga in Taewon?
I know you gave me some bribes.”
“Dead. In the last war.”
“Oops.”
It is not easy for a mediocre merchant like them to get involved in the yard where even the big players in each field are moving.
When the two of them put their heads together and struggled, the merchant suddenly opened his mouth.
“I know one person over there.”
“Ohh, do you know someone well?”
“You know. He’s the one my wife gave birth to.”
The middle-aged man furrowed his forehead at the merchant’s answer.
As much as they had known each other for a long time, they knew each other’s family history.
“You mean your eldest son?”
“okay. He’s an unfilial, unfilial man who hasn’t shown his face for years. Judging from the fact that his wife doesn’t say much, he seems to be still alive… … The middle-aged man nodded with a steamy face.
“Well, try contacting me at this point. do you know He might be doing well as a full-fledged soldier.”
At those words, the merchant laughed.
“The son of a clothing store must be helping out a moose.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if someone was the Shanxi Dragon?”
“Anyway, no. If so, my surname will be Gyeonga, not Hyukga, from today. dog dog!”
“Puetchi!”
My back felt cool with the sound of a sneeze.
Lying on the bed with my upper body exposed, I quietly opened my mouth.
“Mujin-ah, do you want to go behind?”
Moojin Hyuk, who was wiping his back with a cloth soaked in cold water, answered.
“Oh, sorry. My nose suddenly tickled.”
“Try one more time. It will be the last sneeze of your life.”
“… … yes.”
“okay. Wipe it off.”
Swoop. Swoop.
A throbbing pain rises whenever the cold cloth rubs against your back.
His entire upper body was covered in blue bruises, so it was only natural.
‘Patience. It’s been two days and it’s still like this.’
This was the first time ever. Up to now, I have recovered quite a bit from sleep mode and fast-forward breakfast.
[Muscles and bones] and [Muscles and veins] that were hit by leveling up don’t even hurt with moderate hits.
but… … .
‘As expected, he is a master of transcendence.’
There was nothing like that in front of the Hwawang.
It was quiet for a long time, and then suddenly chased after it and beat it, but it seemed that the bones and flesh were separated from the bare fist, not even a flame kidney.
When I woke up in great pain, I found that I was in Taewon Jinga’s hospital room, and since I was moved to my palace, I have been in bed for two days.
“It’s like a f*cking old man.”
“omg.”
At my words, Hyuk Mu-jin sighed.
“Captain, are you crazy? Then he really dies.”
“Kill it. What are the people outside saying?”
“First of all, externally, it was nailed down as a closed-door training. The King of Fire beat the living Seojamryong. It’s a bit like that when it comes to rumors like this.”
“What about your older brother?”
“Will Soga-lord be different? When I first heard the report, I went to the enemy Daehyeop in a moment of great anger… …
“Did you go looking for it?”
“He apologized several times after seeing that the flame kidney was burning.”
“I’m sorry, what are you sorry about? Did I light the fire or did Ji light it? Beating someone like this with a little bit of tanning?”
“When I glanced at it, it didn’t look like it was a little tanned. Almost half of the surface with the title on it was burned, and the flame kidney became a flame.”
“Anyway, I think we should stop talking about this. I don’t know the captain, but I can’t do it because I’m nervous. Then, if the enemy suddenly enters, aren’t they both dead?”
“That’s right.”
Hyuk Moo-jin’s foresight was great.
It wasn’t long after he had finished talking that the door burst open.
Ugh!”
“… … Guys, what was your reaction?”
“Ah, ah, nothing.”
The small old man, Jeok Chun-gang, looked at us with his eyes narrowed, then snorted.
“good. I haven’t heard of the old lady, so I’ll take care of it this time.”
Unexpectedly, he showed a cool side and chin towards Hyuk Moo-jin.
“You go away. It gets in the way.”
I don’t know what to do, but I think it’s better to stay.
Hyuk Moo-jin responded to my longing to live long.
“yes. I’ll just step away. Suffer!”
OK.”
… … pup.
When Hyuk Moo-jin ran out in a hurry, I was overcome with anxiety.
It was because the eyes of Jeokcheongang looking at my naked upper body were unusual.
“Why, why?”
Hopefully not.
However, Jeokcheongang’s eyes flashed with unknown heat.
“Take off your pants too.”
“omg. uh, what do you mean by that?”
“Take off all of them without leaving a scrap of cloth.”
I desperately covered my chest. His voice trembled with shame and fear.
“I have someone I like.”
“… … What does that matter?”
It’s a western mind!
Wrong. I can’t see a hole to get out of. Jeokcheongang shouted at me as I was frozen.
“Ah, I’ll wash your face with bees, so take off your clothes right away and lie down!”
Oh, you blew the word a long time ago.
