Episode 200: If you ask about our identity
I brought the leftover snacks from the previous day from the kitchen and ate them for a late lunch outside Cheonri Gaekjan.
It was a cold snack, but since I don’t care about taste, it didn’t matter. When you eat bad food all the time, eating proper food once in a while feels like a sumptuous feast.
I stored tasteless food in my stomach for that day. As I was muttering with a piece of cold stew in my mouth, a man came running from the left and moved to the right.
Hurry!
I watched the man walking away while chewing the stew.
“… … .”
Why are you running like that in broad daylight? Of course, I don’t know him. First of all, the clothes were not popular in Baekeungji. The thought of chasing him like a neighborhood mutt crossed my mind for a moment, but then disappeared.
This is because the demon and the demon who had stayed up all night in the Cheonri Guesthouse were sleeping. She felt like her throat was getting clogged, so she drank a little of the strong drink that Senior Sword Demon had brought.
“Kkeok.”
I had a simple lunch with three pieces of stew and two sips of alcohol. I was too lazy to wash the dishes, so I sat down on my chair for a while and looked at the beautiful sky.
If he took a nap like this, it would be difficult to find more than one more completely pathetic Jumsoi in the world.
At that moment, I heard someone’s short scream coming from the direction where the guy who was just running was heading. I couldn’t tell if it was the scream of the person running or if the person running hit someone else.
After a while, a man in familiar clothes came running carrying someone on his back and made eye contact with me.
“Hello, Lord Moon, how are you?”
Sambok, carrying the unconscious man on his back, greeted me and continued running to the left.
I answered towards Sambok who was running away.
“It’s a lot of hard work.”
By the way, why is Sambok the place where people run away? It would be better to head north if you want to stay in Baekeungji, which is crowded with people, for a while.
After a while, Sambok appeared again on the road, apparently having chosen to retreat. Did it run for more than one hour? When I looked closely, I saw that his hair was all wet with sweat. The facial expressions were also worth seeing. I couldn’t tell if he was smiling or crying, and as soon as I made eye contact with him, I was forcing myself to smile.
“haha… … “I’ll take a moment.”
I nodded.
“okay. “It’s a lot of hard work.”
I couldn’t help but check who the man carrying Sambok on his back was. Just as he was turning his head towards me, the three-year-old had black eyes under his eyes, as if he had been poisoned, and his eyes were open. I heard a voice muttering in my ears, as if I hadn’t lost my mind yet.
“Get down. It would be better to kill and move on.”
Sambok screamed at the words of the Three Confucius.
“Shut up!”
I applauded Sambok as he ran away.
“Wow, you’ve grown a lot to be able to tell the three princes of the Demonic Cult to shut up. This bastard has succeeded. “I succeeded.”
The term “successful” doesn’t exactly fit the situation, but in my eyes, it seemed like I was successful. Then, you have succeeded.
Next, soldiers in various costumes appeared from the left and ran towards the direction Sambok had fled.
The fact that the attire is not uniform is good news for Sambok.
Anyway, it means that it is not a demonic religion.
However, the high probability that they were adherents to the Demonic Cult meant that they were cheating on Sima Ma, so this was bad news for Sambok.
Thanks to this, I got to see the true scene of those belonging to the Demonic Cult being chased by Sima Wei Dao.
It seems that things in the world and even demonic religions are no different. That’s what happens when you’re weak. Still, seeing that Sambok was risking his life to save the three princes, it seemed like they were not the ones who had chosen the wrong guards as Geomma senior said.
Meanwhile, the sound of bones breaking and screams continued from time to time nearby. Instead of looking at the sky, I had no choice but to be distracted by the sight of people living their lives.
Sambok, who appeared for the third time today, ran towards me with a smile on his face and spoke in a calm tone.
“Hey, Moonju?”
“why? “Why are you calling me?”
“Can I have some water? Because I’m thirsty. haha… … .”
Sambok was carrying Samgongja on his back and stopped in front of Cheonri Gaekjan and was laughing. It was a dry laugh.
I said, pointing to the inside of the guesthouse.
“There is water inside. Go in quietly. “There are people sleeping.”
Sambok bowed his head deeply to me while carrying Samgongja.
“thank you. Lord Moon.”
Sambok carried the three princes and entered Cheonri Gaekjan.
I looked around in confusion for a moment.
“under… … “I’m involved.”
Giving water to a thirsty person is such a serious matter.
After sighing a couple of times, various groups of people who could not tell whether they were Sima Wei Dao or Black Daoists were coming in, and some of them had limp legs or their faces were blown out here and there. It looks like they were hit by Sambok while they were chasing him, but they seemed to be pushing him because of the number of people.
I felt like I was familiar with these guys too.
I was planning on giving them water when they asked for it, but one of the people in the group yelled at me.
“Where did it go!”
“Didn’t you see it? “The one carrying it!”
I pointed north to Baek Eung-ji. The beggars who were trying to move to the left pulled each other’s collars and screamed, then turned towards the north.
I laughed silently at the people rushing to Baek Eung-ji.
‘They’re funny.’
At this time, one guy happened to turn his head and stopped as soon as he saw my expression. This guy suddenly said with a heavy mood.
“Smile? “Everyone, stop.”
The guys who were rushing to Baek Eung-ji took a breath and talked among themselves.
“He was laughing after pointing at Baek Eung-ji.”
“Actually, there is no reason to go to Baek Eung-ji, is there?”
“It’s ambiguous. Should we split it in half again?”
“No. Take a look at the guesthouse first. “That guy’s expression is definitely strange.”
It’s not that my expression is strange, it’s just that I am strange.
Those who were going to Baekeungji slowly returned to the front of Cheonri Gaekjan. I looked at the approaching guys one by one and said.
“… … Are you all coming here to die? “Just stop right there.”

I wiped my smile and glared at the beggars.
* * *
Those who were approaching stopped at the same time.
“… … .”
Because it was not something Jeomsoy could say, a look of bewilderment spread across everyone’s faces.
These guys trusted me and started talking rudely to me.
“Hey, Jeomsoy. Do you know what is disturbing you now? It is something that involves Protestantism. “Think carefully before speaking.”
I nodded.
“You guys, lower your voice to warn you. There are people sleeping inside. And what crazy and crazy Jumsoi in the world would interfere with the work of the Demonic Cult?”
“… … .”
“But that’s me.”
I giggled and picked up one of the chopsticks.
“Guys, please don’t make a fuss in the Shingyo High School guesthouse. And you do not belong to a Protestant church. “They must be the rebellious agents who were commissioned, rogues who rush for money, or subordinates of Sima Oedo.”
A man spoke in a polite tone.
“Look, the person you are hiding is the Three Princes of Shinism. I promise you there won’t be any problems as long as you hand it over. “Is he planning to join the archdukes’ fight?”
“The two guys who went inside are the ones whose lives I saved. You can’t save him and then tell him to die right away. And he is someone who should not die near Baek Eungji. You may not know this because you are a spy, but because of that guy, there may be a conflict between the Baekdo and the Demondo. I can’t allow this or that, so please step away. Are you really going to get involved in the archdukes’ fight just for money? “Even if the religious leader was a bystander, he would not have expected a fight like this.”
At this time, a deep sigh was heard from the door of Cheonri Guesthouse, and as I had feared, the devil appeared with a seriously upset expression.
“ah… … I can’t sleep. “It’s going to turn.”
People naturally become eighteen times more angry than usual when their sleep is disturbed. The demon continued to exhale deeply, shook his head, and spoke while taking a drink from the table.
“… … “Master told me to keep him alive, so it’s a shame or he will die by my hands.”
The lecher who had been drinking suddenly ran towards the random guys, jumped into the air, and threw a kick at the guy.
The thing that flew away with a thud sound spun violently in the air, fell headfirst to the ground, and began to wriggle on the ground.
Saekma, who had already returned to the table, said while eating stew with chopsticks.
“If it doesn’t go out, I’ll kill you all this time.”
I looked at the color demon.
Are there all these villains in the world? It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone fly and kick without explanation or warning.
The men who surrounded him said this while they were retreating.
“We’ll see again.”
“what?”
As soon as I felt sobered, I threw my chopsticks.
Wedge!
The flying chopsticks pierced through the shoulder of the guy who had said “see you again” with a loud sound. A rumbling sound was heard along with a scream, and the trembling creatures quickly disappeared.
I suddenly made eye contact with the demon, but had nothing to say, so I turned my attention to the scenery outside.
“… … .”
At this time, Sambok came outside, took the gun, and spoke.
“Lord Wen, Confucius Mong. thank you We will leave after the three princes have driven out Dokman for a while. “I think the Jecheon Alliance’s master is nearby.”
I asked back at the same time.
“Jecheonmaeng?”
“Why is Jecheonmaeng here?”
Sambok explained.
“A poisonous shepherd from the Jecheon Alliance was among the group that attacked the safe house. There will be others too. It seems that other Grand Dukes have hired a group of famous black swordsmen. “We did the same, so we have nothing to say.”
“okay?”
Sambok and Saekma looked at me.
I took the bag out of my pocket and spoke to Sambok.
“Sambok.”
“Yes, Lord Moon.”
“I understand, so please buy plenty of meat while you’re here. “We all didn’t eat properly.”
When I handed over the money, Sambok took the money with both hands and asked back with a serious expression.
“Why are you suddenly eating meat?” … .”
I pointed roughly toward the front of the guest room with my finger and then spoke.
“The weather is nice today, so let’s grill outside. I also bought alcohol. There are many different types of meat. You put it on the grill, light a wood fire underneath, and it sizzles, crackles, sizzles, you know what I mean? I also bought vegetables. “Whether you fight or run away, you need to have a strong stomach.”
Sambok muttered.
“It’s not difficult to buy it, but the Three Princes have a lucky breakfast…” … .”
“I understand, so shut up and come back quickly. Delicious meat, fresh food. Let’s go fresh today. okay?”
“yes.”
Sambok, who received the money, stared at the inside of the guesthouse for a moment and then said.
“… … Have a good breakfast. “I’m running errands.”
“… … .”
As Sambok ran with a light attack, the Saekma asked me.
“Why are you suddenly saying that you want to eat grilled meat? “Is it right to do this now?”
I nodded, looking at the expression on the devil’s face.
“… … Instead of driving out the needy. “We must give water to those who are thirsty.”
“why?”
“I turned away twice, but the third time was difficult.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Sambok ran back and forth in front of this place twice, carrying that guy on his back.”
Only then did the devil laugh.
“ah… … . “It’s absurd.”
“Three times is hard for me too. If you drive out the needy and ignore the thirsty, you are no different from the leader of a demonic cult. Even though that guy is the son of the cult leader, I can give him water, feed him a meal, and send him out, and you can do it too. I don’t know if the religious leader knows that his son is running away in such poverty. Even if I knew something, I don’t think I would care.”
There was silence for a moment, and then the demon spoke in a quiet tone.
“Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel like eating some meat today.”
I nodded.
“check.”
.

.
Three tables were connected together and large stones were placed next to them to create a bezoar-style oven. There, Sambok grilled meat in various ways. I grilled it on an iron plate, and brought the utensils from the kitchen to make stir-fried meat. As I watched, Sambok seemed to have the qualities to be a great servant, but I didn’t know why he was acting as a bodyguard.
Anyway, we laid out vegetables and drinks on the table, and brought some grilled meat to share. In the end, even the demon who couldn’t stand the smell of meat joined in with an ugly face and started eating the meat.
The Archduke forces of the Demonic Cult may come rushing in.
It was a situation where a group of Heukdo and Sima Oe, hired by the Grand Dukes, could come.
First, we ate the grilled meat with our mouths full of oil.
After a while, the demon who replaced Sambok put meat on a thin skewer brought from the kitchen and started grilling it over the fire.
Suddenly the Demon Demon snapped his fingers and nodded.
“good night.”
As if he had completed some experiment, he started putting the various meats that Sambok had bought on thin skewers.
I spoke to the Demon Demon, who was standing side by side with Sambok and Saekma, grilling various types of meat at once.
“Wow, that sounds delicious.”
The color demon also nodded.
“The second one was a meat genius.”
Sambok, who was watching, asked Saekma carefully.
“Second? “There must be some sort of hierarchy.”
When the horse didn’t answer, Sambok looked at me with a curious expression. I briefly informed Sambok of our identity.
“If you ask about our identity, it is natural for you to answer. “We are the four great evildoers who hold a historic title in Gangho.”
The color demon and the demon demon laughed at the same time after hearing what I said.
