Chapter 328
Turn it off, break it.
Blood gushed from the gaping throat.
Heo Jun struggled and grabbed his neck, but it was too late.
Joo Hwa-ran’s single sword was fast and accurate, and it achieved its purpose without a single mistake.
“Kreuk… …
It was the dying man’s deathbed.
What did you want to say? It is unfair? save me? Or will I curse you until I die?
Heo Jun’s lips, which had been smacking with a bloody boiling sound, stiffened.
The limbs that were struggling were losing strength, and the light in the eyes that were looking at Joo Hwaran, stained with countless emotions, went out.
haaa… … .
The last breath he exhaled in this world is scattered into the air.
Heo Jun, who was the sworn brother of the swordsman Joo Ho and served in Yongbongpyo for 30 years, died like that.
By the hands of his niece, who once followed him like blood.
“… … Uncle Huh.”
A small voice. The back of Joo Hwa-ran looked somewhat desolate.
After looking down at the breathless Heo Jun for a while, she slowly turned around.
The obsidian-like eyes that passed by the soldiers belonging to the Yongbong Pyoguo turned toward the outsiders.
One by one, and finally Joo Hwa-ran, who looked at me, raised a fist to everyone.
“Ju Hwa-ran, the Soguk-ju of Yongbongpyo-guk, committed disrespect in front of Kang-ho’s seniors.”
It is often said that pain makes a person mature. I hoped she would grow up a notch through this job.
‘It’s fortunate that he looks calmer than expected… …
I mean, the atmosphere is a bit awkward.
As I was thinking about that, something stepped on my foot.
Looking down, I saw the gorgeous Tanghui worn by a woman.
As far as I know, there is only one person here worthy of wearing something like this.
Looking at it with questioning eyes, Wolhwa gestured left and right.
The eyes of people who feel it only then.
Before I knew it, people who were split on both sides were staring at me.
And the coin that is taking a pogwon at the end.
*… … What is this?’
Did you put anything on my face?
He whispered in a voice that was barely enough for me to hear Moonhwa, who was perplexed.
“Confucius Qin says something.”
“yes?”
“Ju Sojeo greeted you. I have to accept you as a representative.”
“No, why am I doing that?”
“Hurry up. I’ll wait and grow old.”
Yeah, I’ve aged about 10 seconds in the meantime.
I don’t know why I have to say it, with the leading presidential candidates of the Huashan faction, the beggar king Jagunggibang, and the Shaomseo branch manager Haomen, but I bowed my head with a shy face.
“What about rudeness? And I’m not like Kangho’s senior, so you can treat me just like that.”
“Could it be?”
Joo Hwa-ran raised her head and spoke calmly.
“Jin Dae-hyeop and other seniors are the benefactors of the Yongbongpyo Bureau. Without your help, our Yongbongpyo Bureau would have suffered greatly… and would not have been able to punish the traitors.”
Bitterness flickers across Joo Hwa-ran’s expression as she adds the last word.
She must have felt it herself, and her voice grew stronger.
“I will definitely repay the kindness I received today.”
It wasn’t a big deal, but it was clear that the help of me and various munpa was great. From the perspective of Juhwaran and Yongbongpyoguk, bowing 100 times is not enough.
‘No matter what, it’s a little loud to hear.’
The small cow is still cheesy, but it has evolved one step.
Feeling like I might have to grow a beard, I turned around.
“If you repay the favor to someone other than me, what are you going to do now?”
“First of all, I plan to collect the body and return to the target country. There are many things to solve.”
“You must be very busy.”
Instead of the unconscious father, it is the Joohwaran that manages the flag country.
A day would have passed quickly just by clearing up the long trip, but with dynamic events following one after another, it was clear that even ten bodies would not be enough.
Joo Hwa-ran nodded at my words and opened her mouth.
“Still, I have enough room to treat Jin Dae-hyeop and the others.”
“I’m so glad you can afford it… … yes?”
“Jin Daehyeop is the benefactor who saved me and my family. I can’t let you go without a proper treat.”
咫, Zhu Sojeo. That’s it.”
“Are you very busy?”
busy Quite busy.
Treatment period of Jeokcheongang is at least 6 months
up to 8 months.
In it, I must search the vast land of Sacheon to find an unidentified person named Sinui.
‘It took a week to get from Hanam to Seomseo. To reach Sacheon, no matter how fast, we have to travel another week.’
It is a story when even that was when the new law was exercised to the fullest.
Faith is the water in which everything is shrouded in a veil. No one can predict how long it will take.
That was the reason why I felt uneasy after spending only one day in Xi’an.
‘It’s late today too.’
It’s been a long time since the sun rose in the middle of the sky. I had to run until my feet were on fire because I was delayed for a considerable amount of time due to being entangled with the sectarian faction.
however… … .
“no. I am not busy.”
Unknowingly, my mouth opened, and that answer came out.
what just happened This is the exact opposite of what I was trying to say.
Joo Hwa-ran carefully asks me, who was dazed for a moment.
“Jin Dae-hyeop, are you really okay? If you have an urgent matter, it’s okay to postpone it until later.”
thank you Thank you so much for speaking up first.
She is quick-witted and smart. To the words that scratched the itch, I answered without hesitation.
“No matter how urgent you are, can’t you eat a meal together?”
“yes.”
“It was a car that I used to use my strength and was hungry, but it turned out well. Let’s go.”
Are you sick, really? Why go to Yongbongpyoguk when you have to go to Sacheon?
But when he came to his senses, he had already carried the crab on his back.
When I let out a deep sigh, a person who had been far removed from all of this situation caught my eye.
Looking at him, he opens his mouth first.
“Why, do you have anything to say?”
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard half-talk so naturally in my first meeting.
Anyway, let the other side talk first
You and I were comfortable too.
just. I don’t want you to go.”
“No work
“Then make it.”
“I know you don’t have time anyway, so let’s talk.”
“conversation?”
“Uh, talk.”
Song Il-seom, who had been looking at me with his eyebrows raised, straightened his leaning body.
* * *
early spring. The bright sun disappeared behind Seosan less than two o’clock after arriving at Yongbongpyo Country.
A delicacy was set on the table in the reception room lit by lantern lights, and Cheongpung and Gunggibang, wide-eyed, hurriedly stuffed the food into their mouths.
“Jeok jjjeop. Eunin. Let’s drink this. Jeok jjjjjjeop.”
“… … Eat a lot. do not speak
not.”
It looked delicious.
Until Cheongpung dared to show what was in his mouth.
“Waguwagu. You’re good at this signature dish. Sogukju. Could you share some leftover food with the family in this room?”
Gunggibang, that bastard is a real beggar to the bone.
Joo Hwa-ran nodded towards the guy who was being slaughtered mainly for meat.
“Of course. If you’re hungry, just ask them to come.”
“Oh, how much?”
“… … But too much is difficult.”
Even if only the opening of Shaanxi Province came in, 400,000 hermits, which would have been received as settlement money, would be robbed for food expenses.
The gunggibang grinned, showing yellow teeth.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you don’t worry.”
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was at least eating his meal, whispered,
“I’m more concerned about you saying that.”
“I know.”
Then, isn’t Yongbongpyo country ruined because of openness, not Jongnam faction?
Joo Hwa-ran spoke to me, who was determined to give me attention.
“It’s a pity that the others didn’t come.”
“Yes, the food is delicious.”
Except for our group, everyone else, Baek Mu-seong, Heuk-geol-gae, and Wol-hwa, all refused to accept the invitation.
I don’t know why, but it seems that when Wolhwa glared at the two of them, they changed their words.
well anyway… … .
“You don’t eat much of that, do you?”
“No, it was delicious. Look, I emptied two bowls of rice.”
“It’s strange. But why do you think he ate less?”
■1 It is relative. look at them You’re fighting a battle between food and love.”
Kumchuk kumchuk!
Wow wow!
Chew-cheep-cheep!
Joo Hwa-ran nodded like someone who had attained enlightenment.
“iced coffee.”
“Mujin and I are normal. Those who eat less are over there.”
Song Il-seom replied in a blunt voice.
“I’ve been saying this for ten years, but the food here is too salty. Spicy and salty food is highly irritating and makes the body heavy.”
“Suddenly, one person comes to mind. If I were here, I would have beaten you to death with a ladle.”
Who are you talking about?”
“There is such a person. If you get hit by one, your screams will heal on its own. I’ve been beaten so far too. It’s strange that I couldn’t avoid it even once.”
Jin Daehyeop, is it a private room?”
“You mean?”
Joo Hwa-ran was surprised and asked back, and Song Il-seom’s eyes flashed.
“If you say that after defeating the Taeeulmu Jeonggeom… you must be a really great master. Can you tell me his name and nickname?”
“Kim Jeong-hee. The nickname is Mrs.”
“Ugh. never heard of it.”
I guess so. because my mother
I spoke in a solemn tone without showing any expression.
“Anyway, he said that he would grow taller, no, stronger if he ate well without covering anything.”
“eww “
*m’.
“So don’t complain about the side dishes and eat them.
Song Il-seom, who was worried with a serious face,
He picked up his chopsticks and started eating the side dish.
Seriously, the more I look at him, the more bizarre he is.
‘Even though he’s weird, I don’t think he’s dangerous.
A few hours ago, I briefly suspected the identity of Songil Island in a very negative way.
It was a reasonable suspicion. An outstanding peak master who hid his skills for ten years. I had already experienced a similar case in Shanxi.
dark sky
The elder who had been crouching for decades
Shanseo Gate. On top of that, it seems that Song Il-seom’s actions overlapped.
However, the more we talked, the more doubts disappeared and only curiosity remained.
‘What the hell is this thing doing?’
blunt speech and behavior. It’s obviously a rough look, but it’s strangely graceful in appearance and various parts.
Maybe that’s why his short talk sounds natural.
This is true.’
I stared blankly at Songil Island.
He chewed on the side dish while eating arrogance, then swallowed what was in his mouth and said.
“That expression again. What is it?”
“Just. I was thinking about who you are.”
“Are you curious about that?”
“huh. very”
A conversation with this guy is like an open highway. so comfortable
Soon, other people, including Joo Hwa-ran, were watching Song Il-seom’s mouth with their ears pricked up.
He raised his eyebrows as if he didn’t like it.
“Nothing. I just stayed in Yongbongpyo because there was an ancestor’s kite.”
“You have a relationship with your ancestors?”
“To be precise, my father was greatly indebted.”
uh? wait for a sec. It seems like I can’t think of it.
When I turned my head, Joo Hwa-ran was looking at Songil Island with her eyes wide open.
It was clear that it was the first time she had heard it in ten years.
“May I ask his name?”
“Songpyo Mountain.”
“Songpyosan… that’s a name I’ve never heard of.”
“There’s nothing strange about that. It was almost fifty years ago.”
fifty years ago? What happened during the Great War?
Before we could even ask, Songil Island continued as if it was not a big deal.
“The Guangdong Jin family is a long-forgotten family. The mother, who was revived with the help of Pyowang Ju Gong-san, passed on her surname to her child because she was afraid of the greedy Murim people. It was a wise choice.”
It feels like being stabbed in the back. Joo Hwa-ran looked at Songil Island with trembling eyes.
“Then maybe you… … ?”
Instead of answering, Song Il-seom pulled out a faded jade hairpin from his bosom and held it out.
It was the only ticket (? 費) received by a young woman with the surname Zhu about 50 years ago.
