Chapter 236
The man looked at the four neatly placed students.
Brushes and inkstones made of sable hair were bluish jade, and ink and paper were prized goods that were used in the royal family of Haedong, ten thousand miles away.
All of the best products that cannot be used unless they have a certain code.
“Good, good.”
A hearty smile was formed. The only luxury a man famous for being frugal was this office worker.
“Okay then, let’s start slowly.”
Just when the man was eating happily, the door opened and a man approached with unstoppable steps.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s Hallimhaksa.”
The identity of the uninvited guest was a soldier dressed in dust.
Seeing him with torn eyes and a sword stained with hand stains at his waist, the man deliberately hardened his face.
“Hallimhaksa. Rather, call me Daehwabaek (大? 伯).”
“Are you still painting?”
“It is my only pleasure.”
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like it’s suitable for a conversation. Would you like to learn martial arts from me?”
“I politely decline. My limit as a soldier ends here.”
“Oops. You lack the knowledge that a warrior should have.”
“It doesn’t matter. I have a friend among my subordinates who wields a sword very terribly. I wonder if a nickname would be a ghost sword.”
The uninvited guest’s face softened at the man’s sly attitude.
The next moment, the two laughed as if they had promised.
“My lord is still the same.”
“Wupang, you too.”
It was the first time I saw him in four months, so I was very happy.
Taiyuan Jinga’s Su Jiazhu, Jin Weiqing, patted Wei Feng on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
“What is this person doing without communication? It was written in the front desk that we would arrive tomorrow at noon.”
“Jinryongdae is going well without me.”
The Jinryongdae was an armed group representing the current Taewon Jinga.
Although it was only one year since its establishment, each individual’s performance was outstanding, and loyalty to the family was higher than that.
The fact that Jin Wi-gyeong’s confidant, Wi-Pang, was in charge of the Grand Master of the Jinryongdae gave us an idea of its status.
“You didn’t come out alone without saying a word after becoming a large shareholder, right?”
“Could that be? I left it to the Hyukga, so he will come back on his own.”
“You mean the temporary sub-owner?”
yes.”
“This was my first mission. What was it like watching from the side?”
For a moment, Wipin’s eyebrows twitched.
I thought I had gotten used to it to some extent, but just thinking about him made my bones hurt.
Still, a ball is a ball, and life is buying.
He answered like a sigh.
“It’s quite usable, except for the incessant muzzle twitching.”
“I knew it roughly, but he seems to be more cheerful than I thought.”
“It’s a problem because he’s cheerful enough to be damned.”
“What about the other part?”
“… … If you tell me one by one, you will learn quickly.”
“If you say that, you’re saying that you’re quite incompetent.”
A year ago from now, Hyuk Moo-jin was honored to enter the Jinryongdae in recognition of his merits.
Of course, Jin Tae-kyung’s influence also played a role in such personnel decisions.
‘That guy is a better guy than I thought. Try growing it.’
If it’s the words of the younger brothers, it’s a truth that kills.
Just in case, I put it in Jinryongdae and attached Wipin to teach it, and my skills improved day by day.
He had a sly personality and got along well with the crew, and there was nothing to say about his loyalty.
“Ha ha ha! As expected, our youngest has eyes for people.”
Jin Wi-gyeong laughed heartily, and in her hand was a bottle of alcohol, from which she had taken it out.
He poured out a full cup and opened his mouth.
“Anyway, it was a lot of trouble. So, is the northern highlands all sorted out now?”
“yes. It should be fine for at least the next ten years.”
Stabilization of the Northern Plateau.
That was the reason Yu Peng had been away from Taiyuan Jinga for the past four months.
Jin Wei-qing thought that in order to become a true loser of Shanxi Province, he had to subdue the pirates of the plateau, and after months of secret and meticulous preparation, he wielded his sharpest weapon against them.
The sword called Wei Feng, the demon sword.
“When they attacked in seven directions, they collapsed helplessly.”
Shanxi Murim, especially in the northern region, which was the main affected area, actively cooperated with the munpa and guild in appreciation of Taewonjinga’s bravery.
The so-called Seven Road Army was born, led by Wei Peng and Chen Long, and they were armed with high-quality weapons and horses under the full support of the upper tier.
In addition, strong reinforcements also participated in the war.
“Haowen, it was scary. I realized the fear of information once again.”
Immediately after the end of the war, Hao Wen, who was assigned a significant share of northern interests, welcomed Qin Yuqing’s decision with open arms.
Like skilled information merchants, they monitored the pirates’ every move, while leaking false information and setting traps.
Its thoroughness made even Jin Wi-gyeong stick out his tongue.
“Everything in the world has a different use depending on the owner. The truly scary thing is the moon. It is not a vessel to stay only in Shanxi.”
“Is that so?”
“Can’t you see the results? That her true weapon is resourcefulness, not beauty.”
two thousand people.
It was the number of bandits killed or captured in the Northern Highlands that day.
Seven battles took place in different places, and after winning seven victories, they advanced without hesitation.
“After that, they killed and captured whatever they came across.”
Hundreds of crows flew in the sky, and corpses ten times their weight rolled beneath them.
By the time the Chilo army’s horses stopped, it was after five large bandits had already been destroyed and more than ten bandits had surrendered.
“In fact, it was as if it had already served its purpose.”
“I know you have a story that hasn’t been told yet.”
“Oh, you mean the nomads?”
“You got it right.”
The damage was small thanks to the quick maneuvering strikes, but Chilo’s forces had accumulated considerable fatigue from the successive battles.
Then, in an instant, thousands of nomads appeared along with a huge dust cloud.
“Actually, at that time, my eyes were dizzy.”
There are thousands of nomadic tribes, each one said to be a master of horseback martial arts.
No matter how mature Wipin was, there was no way to turn the tide of the war alone.
“At that time, the thing that I reported in the previous letter happened.”
“You mean those who called themselves Khan?”
It has been a long time since the huge nomadic empire that once ruled even the central plains has become a distant past. However, the bloodline of the conqueror was not severed, and so was the title of khan.
“It was two people. Let them go first and introduce themselves… …
“Temur and Chingen, descendants of the Great Khan and members of the Golden Clan.”
“Exactly.”
Hupin nodded.
The young tribal chiefs of the grassland, each with 2,000 horses, were neither aggressive nor arrogant.
Rather, they carefully tried to communicate with each other in poor Korean.
‘Are any of you from Jinga in Taiwon?’
The expected battle did not happen. It was thanks to the name of none other than the Hwawang Jeokcheongang.
“The rumor has already spread to the plateau. They already knew the relationship between the enemy and the Three Gongs, and they said they did not want to be hostile to us.”
“That is what I am curious about. It’s too much of a surprise to back down after only seeing the reputation of the King of Fire.”
“Oh, you mean that? I was also very embarrassed, so I tried to kill the bandits who were taken prisoner.”
Wipin smiled and continued.
“There was a history of being scolded last winter. Hoksa and India, the notorious leader of the bandits in the highlands, were killed by the enemy Daehyeop with a single blow.
There were also two people there.”
“I was scared.”
“On the one hand, I also received help.
After the leader died, he absorbed the remnants of the demons in chaos and grew up to this point.”
Temur and Chingen were lucky.
Hoksa and Indo died on the same spot, and soon after, even Cheonpungdan was annihilated at the hands of Jeokcheongang, creating a power vacuum.
After annexing the remnants of the bandits and gathering the scattered nomads, they quickly emerged as the powerhouses of the highlands in just one year.
“From now on, we will be friends. They also loaded a lot of furs on the plundered gold and silver treasures.”
“what? Hahahaha!”
Qin Weiqing let out a cool laugh.
A perfect result.
Because of this subjugation, Taewon Jinga’s fame and position in the Shanxi Murim were further solidified, and at the same time, he gained the support of the sects under him and the common people.
“It was hard. Your credit is great.”
“I don’t know about that, but I do know that my glass is empty.”
“Haha, let’s drink until you’re drunk today.”
The two talked about giving and receiving a drink.
A lot has happened in the past year, so there is a lot to talk about.
“Oh, by the way, what happened to the nebula mark?”
“It was completely finished right after you left. Now, we should call it Jinga Pyoguk.”
The family of Woo Hwang-tae, the national owner of Sungwoon, ran away with only a small amount of money. It was revealed that he bribed some officials and stole military supplies behind him.
In the process, of course, Zhou Pyo, King of Sangsan, who was an ardent follower of Jin Tae-gyeong, was of great help.
“The training with other schools is also going well. A ticket to Hebi via Songshan is in progress.”
“If it’s Sung Sahn and He Fei… … “
“Shaolin and Namgung. It was a good offer, so there was no reason to refuse it.”
Shaolin, the North Head of Taesan of Murim in the world, and Namgung Sega, who are counted among the top five generations.
Since the scale was so huge, it was satisfying just to open a deal, but on the contrary, the other side proposed a deal first. And that too under very generous conditions
“The existence of the enemy daehyeop is of great help to the main family.”
Qin Yuqing smiled silently at Yu Peng’s words.
He firmly believed that at least in Moorim, there was no favor without a price.
Their favor contains the price of two people.
One is for Hwawang Jeokcheongang, and the other is for a sleepy dragon named Jin Taegyeong.
‘Come to think of it, it’s already been a year since the youngest left.’
It was an eventful year.
When the ground melts soon, the Seongradae kite will be held in Hanam, and the brothers will meet again there.
‘Are you doing well?’
Just when Qin Yu-gyeong was drinking while thinking of her indifferent youngest brother who hadn’t been in contact with her, Wi-Peng suddenly opened her mouth.
“By the way, what were you trying to do again this time?”
“well.”
“You haven’t decided what to draw, but you mean you were grinding the food?”
“It happens often. It’s not uncommon to grind food for one or two tests and then fold it again.”
“Huh, are you really trying to become a painter now?”
“Stay closed. However, when this painting is completed, I think it would be nice to hear the voice of the artist.”
“Didn’t you say you weren’t sure what to draw?”
“It’s just that I can’t easily associate what it will look like. The title was decided early on.”
“So, what is the title of that great work?”
Qin Weiqing replied with a smile.
“Jamryongchulsa (潛龍? 仕).”
He was a ragged young man.
His long, loose hair reached his wing bones, and his chin and philtrum were full of beard.
Among them, the peak of Hwaryong is an iron ball hanging from the limbs. He looks like a prisoner at a labor camp.
However, there was only one thing, the eyes were different.
The young man who was staring at the bluish-white flames with eyes so deep that I couldn’t tell, murmured.
“Ah, it’s the worst to eat meat here.”
and the next moment.
Wedge love! f*ck!
A wrinkled palm slapped the back of the young man’s head with an indescribable sound.
“Have you seen such a rude bastard! Dare to think of roasting meat with the sacred fire of the main text!”
The young man grumbled at the appearance of the energetic old man.
“Oh, why? I think I can put it in and take it out for a while.”
“What!”
“Don’t you know the bulgama samgyeopsal? It tastes like honey.”
“You, you died today!”
f*ck! Udang-tang-tang!
One day in early spring, when the ground thawed and sprouts sprouted, the peaceful Jiuhua Mountain began to become noisy.
