Episode 228
walk
A middle-aged man blocked the entrance to the pavilion and shouted.
“Jinokryong! Didn’t I tell you to wait! “What rudeness is this!”
Jeong Gwang was dumbfounded.
‘Despite? this?’
I was just trying to pass by.
You haven’t hit or killed anyone yet, have you?
I thought I was misunderstanding something, so I said it one more time.
“excuse me. “I’ll pass by for a moment.”
A vein rose on the middle-aged man’s temple.
“That’s not possible!”
“why?”
“The head of the house hasn’t even looked for you yet, so you’re so reckless that I want to see you! “Does that even make sense?”
“iced coffee.”
It was only then that Jeong Gwang realized.
‘I heard that Huisang (徽商) knows how to run a decent business. ‘It was a rumor.’
From Jeong Gwang’s perspective, the Namgung family’s response did not make common sense at all.
“Then keep waiting until you call me?”
“Say the obvious!”
“My soldier from the Namgung family has gone missing?”
“I’m looking for you!”
“How can you be so proud?”
“What?”
A middle-aged man who was so angry that he tried to hold the hilt of his sword froze.
It was because of Jeong Gwang’s eyes.
‘W-what kind of guy’s eyes… … .’
Is this how a frog feels when it encounters a snake?
When I saw Jeong Gwang’s shining eyes, I couldn’t move my body.
That wasn’t all.
Jeong Gwang’s tongue began to move menacingly like a snake.
“I lent you money, but you lost it and you’re yelling at me.”
“Do, money?”
“yes. A righteous person who came to help his family go missing on his way home. Who is responsible for this? “Missing person?”
“… … .”
“It’s your responsibility as the debtor, right? But they kept waiting for me, the creditor. “Is there any place in the world that does business like this?”
“… … !”
The middle-aged man opened his mouth.
Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, what kind of guy’s expressions are so cheap?
Isn’t it as if the owner of the house is scolding the gambler who borrowed money and lost it?
“Am I right?”
“… … .”
“The unspoken word is positivity. “Then I’ll go in.”
Jeong Gwang walked past the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man, who was speechless because he was too embarrassed, was startled and grabbed Jeong Gwang’s arm.
“ouch!”
Jeong Gwang, who was grabbed by the arm, opened his eyes wide.
“Such a poisonous weapon!”
“What, an eagle? “Isn’t that just a light grip?”
“Ugh. “Push in your inner strength as well.”
“Stop talking nonsense! When did I… … .”
“What happens from now on is self-defense.”
“… … !”
The eyes of the middle-aged man who was protesting because he was unfairly widened.
I was so angry that I remembered Jeong Gwang’s notoriety, which I had forgotten for a while.
The moment when Jeong Gwang removes his arm and curls his fist.
A man came running out from inside the palace.
“Ji, Jinokryong. The matriarch is looking for you. I was there just in time. Let’s go in.”
Jeong Gwang inwardly shook his head.
‘Finding it is a piece of cake. When I tried to go in, they hit me.’
It meant that they were meeting because Namgung Hwain himself wanted to, not because of Jeong Gwang’s protest.
‘It’s only plausible if you respect respect as well. ‘It doesn’t look like it’s there.’
Anyway, since I had achieved my goal, I had the magnanimity to let it go.
Jeong Gwang followed the man into the palace.
And when we arrived in front of Namgunghwain’s office, the waiting concubines opened the door.
Namgung Hwain appeared, sitting upright in an ornate chair.
It looked very dignified, but in Jeong Gwang’s eyes, it just looked pathetic.
‘There is too much waste of manpower. ‘Do you need two people just to open and close the door?’

Jeong Gwang, who was richer in his previous life, didn’t do that either.
Let alone arguing about opening the door, there was no door itself.
Isn’t it easier to respond to a sneak attack when you have clear visibility?
As soon as I entered the office, the door closed, and Namgunghwain’s voice brought Jeonggwang back to this life.
“It’s been a while.”
Jeong Gwang put his hands together politely.
“Hello, matriarch.”
“So, what’s going on?”
“I came because of my military service.”
“I’m looking for you, so please wait a little longer.”
“Are you still alive?”
Namgunghwain did not fall for the provocation.
“Don’t say that even as a joke. “It looks like you care about your subordinates.”
“It’s because I’m worried. Who could come into Namgung House and kidnap people? No matter how much I think about it, it seems like someone from my family had a hand in it.”
“The rules of the main family are very strong. “That won’t happen.”
“Whew. I came here to help with nothing but righteousness, and then ended up being treated unfairly like this. “The military is also very unlucky.”
As Jeong Gwang spoke with a sigh, Namgunghwain’s eyebrows twitched.
“The evil brain of evil spirit is courage. “Look, your farming skills have increased a lot.”
“I was born anew, not with a dead brain, but with no brain.”
“It looks like your tongue is still the same.”
“If it changes completely, it’s rather suspicious. “I can trust what’s appropriate and it’s just right.”
“Are you here to play with words? “I am a busy person.”
“I’m busy too. “I passed through Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei and took the Yangtze River to Anhui Province.”
Namgunghwain frowned.
If you just listen to it, isn’t it a huge distance?
Anyone who hears it will admit that Jeong Gwang is busier than Namgung Hwain.
“Say it again. “Wait.”
“I think it would be better for both of us if you could give us a clear answer on how long we can wait.”
The string of reason suddenly broke in Namgunghwain’s mind.
‘How dare you! Are you putting pressure on me like this?’
However, I knew very well how strong the concentrate was and how quickly it went away, so I quickly reconnected the broken string.
“All I can say is that I will do my best.”
“hmm.”
Jeong Gwang stared into Namgunghwain’s eyes.
He seemed to be burning with anger, but not shaken.
‘Didn’t you give orders to kidnap Wei Jinhong?’
It was something that did not suit the insidious Namgung Painter.
If so, it means that someone among the family members had a hand in it.
‘You really don’t know who he is, do you?’
When I looked closely, I noticed the sword Namgunghwain was wearing on his waist.
‘Look at this?’
Jeong Gwang slowly opened his mouth.
“The head of the family is wearing a sword even when he is sitting in his office chair.”
“… … “This is what a prosecutor should be like.”
“In Kunlun, it is usually placed on a table or placed against it. “It’s very intrusive.”
“… … “Isn’t it different for each clan?”
“Even independents say that.”
“… … My home is in the secular world. “I have no choice but to do this because I don’t know when something will happen.”
It was a pretty reasonable explanation, though.
That wasn’t what Jeong Gwang heard.
‘What are you doing with only a few unmanned guards around the palace and a dispute in front of the office?’
Who would dare to jump into the Nangong family, the losers of Anhui Province?
Moreover, Namgung Hwain was a man who was as proud of his martial arts as he was arrogant.
‘But you’re wearing a sword in your office? ‘It doesn’t make sense.’
It’s not like he was prepared to deal with Jeong Gwang.
Because Namgunghwain couldn’t fight Jeonggwang.
Isn’t this a situation where Jeong Gwang, who he is known to dislike, has come to help him?
It was clear that if he even pulled out his sword, many warriors would point fingers.
‘I think I was about to go somewhere… … .’
Namgunghwain was so embarrassed that he made a mistake.
All I could have said was that I was about to leave, but as I tried to hide my whereabouts, I ended up making useless excuses.
‘At times like this… … .’
You should ask outright.
“Are you planning to go to a dangerous place?”
“… … !”
Namgunghwain’s pupils widened slightly.
A smile appeared on Jeonggwang’s lips.
“There is no place in Anhui Province that is dangerous to you. “I guess there is a place like that in the manor.”
“… … “Hehehe.”
Namgunghwain laughed and gave a congratulatory order.
“The farming ends here. “Please stop and go out.”
“yes.”
When Jeong Gwang responded obediently, Namgunghwain’s eyes wavered.
“Oh right. “The military will return within three days, right?”
“I would have said that I couldn’t give a definite answer.”
“Waiting doesn’t suit my temperament. “In three days, the rumor might spread outside the manor.”
“… … “Are you threatening me now?”
“No way.”
Jeong Gwang grinned as he looked at Namgung Hwain shaking.
“I’m rooting for you.”
* * *
Jeonggwang came out of the pavilion and headed straight to the Cheonryongdan dormitory.
“Master. I’m back.”
“Good work. “What did the head of the Nangung family say?”
Jeong Gwang spoke about his conversation with Namgung Painter without adding or subtracting anything.
After adding his thoughts there, he persuaded Heo Cheong.
“Because I really doubt it. “I don’t think we should just wait.”
“Are you planning to move it yourself?”
“yes.”
Heo Qing placed one condition.
“I wonder if you can handle it yourself. “First of all, don’t use her hands.”
“of course.”
He Qing nodded deeply.
“Don’t believe it. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Something might get worse, so please stay in top condition. “And the Celestial Dragons.”
“… … “How ominous that sounds.”
“I guess it’s my mood.”
“… … You won’t cross the line, right?”
“Sure.”
Jeong-gwang pounded his chest and boasted, but Heo-cheong sighed with a half-confident look on his face.
“It would be great if that were the case. however… … .”
He paused for a moment and then asked in a trembling voice.
“Nothing happened on the Yangtze River, right? Say so. hurry.”
“ah. in fact… … .”
When the conversation was over, He Qing had a look on his face that had lost his soul.
Jeong Gwang comforted him and returned to the bloodless group’s dormitory.
After explaining the situation to the Bloodless members, he looked at Yu Jeongpung.
“Is there a place in the Namgung family that is prohibited?”
“It’s forbidden… … .”
Yoo Jeong-pung scratched his head and searched through the information in his head.
“I know there is no special place.”
“Then what if it’s not banned and not many people come and go?”
“well. At best, it’s about the residence of the head of the family and the head of the Taesang family. “The women’s living quarters will also be like that.”
Jeong Gwang was not disappointed.
No matter how information-savvy openness is, there are limits. If they know, it’s not really a ban.
“Yoo Sohyeop. “There are open buntas in Anhui Province too, right?”
“of course. “There is no place in the world without beggars.”
“Would you please go and get some information? I wonder if a new force has appeared in Anhui Province or if a suspicious person has arrived. Things like how the Namgung family has moved recently.”
“I understand. Isn’t it possible that Brainy could have been kidnapped from outside? “The Namgung family’s relatives may have helped.”
“Please tell Zhao at the front gate to come and rest.”
“Sure.”
As Yoo Jeong-pung left, Jeong Gwang gave a request to the members.
“I also told Master, you need to stay in top physical condition because you never know what might happen.”
Everyone nodded with stern faces.
“Then I’ll come back.”
When Jeong Gwang stood up, Jeong Woo asked with a puzzled look.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m trying to follow the head of the Nangung family.”
Jeongwoo frowned.
“It’s too dangerous. Weren’t you seriously injured in the fight with the Beast King? “A priest must rest.”
“are you okay. “I was completely healed after seeing a small achievement at Samcheong Hapil Shin Gong.”
“From Samcheong Hapil Shingong?”
“yes.”
Jeongwoo and Jeonghyeon’s eyes widened.
Unlike Baek Seung-moo, who was also a member of the Kunlun sect, but entered late, he knew what the Samcheong Unification Shinggong was.
“iced coffee… … “Is there such a slope?”
“ha ha ha. After all, he is a priest. After all, he’s a priest!”
The other members didn’t understand what they were talking about, but they knew it was a good thing.
“Congratulations, Danju.”
“You have accomplished a great feat.”
“It’s a small skill.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
At Jeong Gwang’s denial, Gong Woo smiled like a Buddha.
“The minor Duke of Danju is nothing more than the Grand Duke to others.”
“It’s complicated. Rather… … .”
Jeong Gwang pointed out Dang Ye-ji, Eon Ui-jin, and Hye-jin.
“Three minutes. “I have something to do, is that okay?”
Among the three people who suddenly stood up, Dang Ye-ji answered.
“If it’s the order of a sober person, you have to follow it. “What’s going on?”
“You can go out and take a walk.”
“… … walk?”
When Dang Ye-ji was taken aback, Jeong Gwang explained.
“If three people walk, people will flock. “A lot.”
“… … .”
The three people looked embarrassed, unable to confirm or deny.
It’s hard to say anything because they know very well that they are beautiful.
“There will be competition to guide each other. “Please go to as many places as possible and find places that you can’t enter.”
“ah! “It means finding places that may be prohibited.”
“yes. We need to find the military quickly. Even though I don’t want to see it, I’m still a child. “If you were alive, how scared would you be?”
The three imagined Wei Jinhong trembling in fear.
No, I tried to do it, but it didn’t work.
‘I think he’s swearing.’
‘Pretending to be proud.’
But what should I do? He’s a colleague.
Dang Ye-ji spoke as representative.
“I’m going now.”
“take care. “I will come too.”
As soon as Jeong Gwang finished speaking, he disappeared.
The three of them tried to erase their reluctant feelings and went outside.
Soon a line formed behind them.
Namgungse was a line made up of men.
‘It’s getting longer.’
Eon Ui-jin sighed inwardly.
The situation is such that not only young people but also older people are joining in.
‘Why is everyone just watching? Talk to me. hmm?’
Just then, a familiar face caught Eon Ui-jin’s eyes.
It was Namgung Jin-yeong, who thought she was attracted to Jeong-gwang and started an argument with Jeong-gwang, which resulted in the arrest.
‘There’s also Namgung Jin-do, who attacked Danju to get revenge and was beaten up.’
The two people were startled when their eyes met with Eon Ui-jin.
Eon Ui-jin forced a smile and asked the two people.
“Nangung Jinyeong small cooperative. Namgungjindo small cooperative. “I want to look around, can you help me?”
“… … !”
The two people’s mouths were torn open.
The other men were so shocked that their mouths opened wide.
“Oh, of course!”
“We will take care of you!”
As the two responded with happy faces, the other men also remained silent.
“I specialize in guidance!”
“Uh-huh! “That’s what I’m going to say!”
“What?”
“Did I say something wrong?”
The atmosphere suddenly becomes dangerous.
One person’s voice echoed throughout the hall.
“What a disgrace this is!”
