Episode 66. That is the problem.
Hongshin said while I was dancing like a fool, circling around the stiff Yusacheong.
“Ambassador, they are slowly retreating.”
“what?”
I stopped dancing like someone who had forgotten and then turned around. Then, several of the beggars who had retreated fell on their butts, stood up, and scattered like defeated soldiers.
Meanwhile, Lee Ryongno was glaring at me with a blunt expression.
I spoke to Lee Ryongno, who was acting quite calm.
“Old man, do you have anything to say?”
Lee Ryongnogun responded.
“As promised, it is only a temporary ceasefire.”
The white man stepped forward and said:
“Master, please kill more.”
“done. A ceasefire is a ceasefire. Mercury is Mercury. The facial expressions and mood of those who are retreating, and even the facial expressions of the leaders who are trying to look calm. For now, enjoy it.”
When Prince Lee Ryong-no retreated first, Teacher Su had no choice. He spit out one word at me, calling me the leader.
“I will see you again soon.”
I responded with a grin.
“You guys, only those who come and surrender first will be treated like captains. Go back and think about it slowly. Will I ever have another chance to survive? “Think about it seriously.”
After the enemy retreated, I looked back at my subordinates.
“Check the injured person first. It’s late at night, so let’s go in. “End the surveillance, and the commander-in-chief first gives orders to be on alert, then take turns with other executives.”
“All right.”
I spoke after slapping Yu Yu-cheong, who was standing stiffly, on the cheek.
“Prisoners also go through a lot of hardships. “The night air is cold, so let’s go in together.”
One of Heukmyobang’s subordinates came over and carried Yusa-cheong on his back. I called Cha Seong-tae.
“Seongtae.”
“yes.”
I didn’t have anything to say. I just hugged Cha Seong-tae and then headed to the black cat room.
“let’s go.”
* * *
I sat down at the head table and had a drink. Meanwhile, executives moved around freely. I treated the injured ones, let the sleepy ones sleep, and let the hungry ones eat.
Yoo Yu-cheong was sitting next to me, silently watching the executives busily moving around.
After a while the priests and officials returned to fill the empty seats.
Everyone has gathered because they are curious about the identity of the pseudo office.
The student who showed up last to wash the blood from his face and body passed by and hit Yoo Yu-cheong on the head before sitting down next to him.
“Is everyone here?”
Sogunpyeong answered my question.
“Oh, Daeju, I’m a little injured, so I’m going to get some sleep first.”
The student who put down his drink seemed to suddenly lose his temper and slapped Yu Yu-cheong on the cheek again. Yu Yu-cheong’s face turned with a sound.
I looked around at the twelve priests.
“Are the priests injured?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“it’s okay.”
Cha Seong-tae also reported his condition.
“I’m fine too.”
I nodded.
“You should be okay.”
Sogunpyeong asked about the operation in the larger framework.
“What will Lee Ryongno and Teacher Su do from now on?”
“wait. The damage there is much greater. You will have trouble sleeping for two days, have difficulty eating, and feel anxious when going to the bathroom. What comes after provocation, confusion, and defeat is nothing but fear and anxiety. Since they are strong-minded people, they will endure, but their subordinates will become agitated. “You become weaker than before.”
Baekyu unexpectedly said these words.
“Master, you like dancing, right? “I should have danced the fan dance next to you.”
I grinned.
“Next time, let’s dance together.”
“That’s right.”
The white man glared at Yusacheong and asked me.
“Master, what do you think of this guy?”
“What does the priest think?”
Baek Baek was the first to mention Yusacheong’s swordsmanship.
“It is not a sword technique that can be learned from the Black Sword.”
“Please explain to someone else why. Because a guy like Seongtae might not know.”
The white man answered briefly.
“I felt like I trained rigorously first on posture and then on sword techniques. If you think about the time when the main execution was pursued in the beginning, the flow of the swordsmanship was also consistent. “I’m not a guy who has learned sloppy sword techniques.”
“I think the same thing.”
The student from Dokgo glared at Yusa Cheong.
“This bastard, was it Baekdo?”
Dokgosaeng’s harsh palm hit Yusa-cheong’s cheek again. When Yu Yu-cheong did not open his mouth, Hong-shin, who was curious, asked.
“Daesa hyung, did you even notice this guy’s blood vessels?”
“maybe.”
“Shall I solve it?”

“You can’t solve it. I can’t solve it either. I’ve done a lot of guessing, but I haven’t practiced solving it much because it’s a hassle. “I didn’t put in a lot of energy, so it will be resolved soon.”
Actually, I didn’t even memorize the names of the blood vessels properly. I only know roughly what effect tapping on a certain point will have. Since I learned it for attack purposes, I didn’t take the trouble to learn how to disarm it.
Hongshin said without thinking.
“Ahyeol is also quite dangerous, so if you don’t get rid of it quickly, there is a risk that you won’t be able to continue speaking.”
He briefly responded to Hongshin’s words.
“It’s none of my business.”
“yes.”
I chatted with my subordinates like a person who had no idea. We passed the time by bringing leftover food from the kitchen, sharing it, drinking, and giggling the whole time.
About half an hour passed by… … .
A subordinate reported from outside the main hall.
“Bangju, Muakmunju came to the main gate with his military flag down. What should I do.”
“What should I do? “If you’re here, you should come in.”
While the officials and priests were looking at each other with puzzled expressions, Muak Munju came in from the main hall with two disciples.
Muakmunju said as he took the first sword.
“Bangju, this is Yang Jae-gyeong, the head of Muak Munju.”
I nodded slightly and then responded.
“Yang Munju, welcome.”
Muakmunju said, smiling really awkwardly.
“How should I tell you… … .”
“Please speak in peace.”
“Muakmun will not appear as an enemy of Lord Ark in the future. We made a mistake due to lack of information. Please… … .”
Since the dance was so overbearing, I roughly nodded.
“Let’s do that.”
“I am just grateful that you treat me with such generosity.”
When the Muak Munju beckoned to his disciples, the two disciples placed the box they were holding at my feet and opened the cover. Inside the large box, half of the gold and half of the silver were emitting light.
I clicked my tongue and said.
“Why did you bring all this with you? Between us, tsk. No, how much is this? It’s huge. I guess I should also take care of the black line. Moonju, aren’t you overdoing it?”
I hit the box with my foot, closed the cover, and then stood up.
“The first meeting wasn’t too good, but it’s okay if we don’t meet as enemies in the future. That’s what people’s lives are all about. “Isn’t that right, Moonju?”
When I tapped Muakmunju on the shoulder, the startled Muakmunju nodded as if in a brief convulsion.
“That’s right. you’re right.”
“In Gangho, sometimes enemies become allies, and allies become enemies. If you are unlucky, you will be beaten to death, so don’t take it too seriously.”
“Oh, yes. I’ll keep that in mind. From now on, we will never again join Lee Ryongnogun or Master Su’s call.”
“That’s good news.”
“It’s a bit late, but I was a little late because I had to prepare this. “Well then, it’s late at night so I’ll stop.”
“Take a look. They bring all this again in the middle of the night. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Lord Muakmun quickly took the gun and quickly turned around with his subordinates. The moment Muakmunju was about to leave the main hall, I called him over and stopped him.
“Yang Munju.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Let’s eat next time.”
“Ahaha, that’s right. Ark, I’ll see you then.”
As the Muakmunju disappeared and the door to the main hall closed again, silence fell for a moment.
“… … .”
The high school student who had been watching what had happened so far with blank eyes looked at me.
I asked because the single high school student seemed to be about to say something.
“why.”
The high school student responded with a truly blunt expression.
“That’s so f*cking funny.”
It was said that it was funny because it was completely incomprehensible to the mental world of a single student, and it was also said that Muakmunju’s actions as a whole were just funny. However, when the high school student said it was funny with a not funny face at all, the priests and officials burst out laughing.
“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”
I ended up giggling too.
“That’s funny.”
While everyone was busy laughing, Yu Yu-cheong was alone with a stern expression. Naturally, everyone’s eyes had no choice but to turn to Yusa Cheong.
The solo student looked at Yusa Cheong.
“Why aren’t you smiling? “Is there blood on your face too?”
When Dokgosaeng raised his hand as if he was going to slap him again, Yoo Yu-cheong’s frozen face trembled.
Dokgosaeng pretended to lower his hand, but then slapped him mercilessly.
puck!
I didn’t care how Dokgosaeng treated his prisoners. Dok Go-go led his men and risked his life to fight, so he deserved to do something like that.
I thought about this while resting my chin.
‘Did Muakmunju come in first and check the atmosphere?’
As soon as Muakmunju switched with someone outside, the subordinate’s report continued.
“Ark, Lady Iron Island has come to visit.”
I scolded my subordinate while slightly raising my voice.
“The night air is chilly. Why are you asking if you don’t invite me right away? “Hey, tell them to come in.”
Mrs. Cheolseom came into the main hall with a stern expression. Lady Cheolseom looked even more embarrassed than Muakmunju, and it seemed like words were stuck in her throat.
I said it first.
“Mrs. Cheolseom, I almost lost my line because of the harsh memorization you threw at me. “Your memorized throwing skills are not average.”
Only then did Mrs. Cheolseom open her mouth.
“Yes, Ark. I apologize. therefore… … .”
“Please speak in peace.”
“My disciples and I have escaped from the side of Lee Ryongnu and are now thinking of returning to Yuhwa Valley. I will spread the word to my friends and warn them so that they do not interfere with the Black Cat’s path in the future. “Please be lenient on today’s mistakes.”
I nodded.
“Well, that can happen when you fight. Let’s do that. “Is Lord Yuhwagok in peace too?”
“That’s right. “He is still busy practicing martial arts.”
“Your wife is having a hard time moving around trying to earn money for you. But now that we know each other, I hope the entire Yuhua Valley will not become my enemy in the future.”
Mrs. Iron Island nodded.
“All right.”
“It’s late at night. Please take a look.”
Mrs. Cheolseom, who was hesitant, took something out of her pocket and put it down on the table.
“Lord Ark, I will present the flashing dagger that I have cherished since I was young as a token of what I said.”
“H-heh, what are you doing like this again…” … Tsk. I will use it well. I already wanted to carry a dagger in my pocket, but this is perfect for self-defense. “It looks very sharp.”
“Although it is short in length, it is a luxury item that can cut most long swords like dumplings. “It’s also perfect for assassination.”
“Golden people like us also like luxury goods. I will use it well. “Say hello to Gokju too.”
“Yes, I am then.”
When Mrs. Cheolseom returned, Hongshin asked as if she was curious.
“Will anyone else come?”
I looked at Sogunpyeong.
“If you go outside and see some strays, check their faces, threaten them, and send them away. It’s annoying to deal with. Oh, you can accept bribes and all that.”
Sogunpyeong stood up.
“All right.”
As soon as So Gunpyeong left, I had a drink and then slapped Yu Yu-cheong, who was sitting next to me, on the cheek. Yu Yu-cheong, who was tied to the chair, fell backwards with a thud.
thud-!
An executive in the last seat rushed over and raised the chair.
He told his subordinates.
“It’s late at night, so everyone go find an empty room and rest. Regardless of the disputes, there will be a lot of empty places. “I need to think more about whether to just kill this guy or torture him to death.”
“All right.”
The subordinates stood up.
After a while, only Yusa-cheong, I, and the flashing dagger remained in the large hall.
I muttered to myself as I tapped the flash dagger with the tip of my finger.
“Our teacher told us to watch it from time to time, but when I tried it, I realized it wasn’t easy. It’s awkward. “It was awkward for the people who came to apologize, but actually, it was awkward for me too.”
As I was drinking earlier, I was thinking about Mo Yongbaek’s instructions. It wasn’t easy to change my mind and try to live a little differently from my previous life.
“Still, my teachers all told me to do well, so I should try my best. Isn’t that right?”
“… … .”
“Wow, I’ve changed a lot too. If it was an enemy, I just beat them to death, smashed them to death, or killed them with an axe. What’s happening? What happened to me? Is this what you call a sense of another world? Or is it called Sangjeonbyeokhae (桑田碧海)? “Are we both wrong?”
“… … .”
I looked into Yu Yu-cheong’s eyes and asked with a cold expression.
“What’s wrong with your eyes? Do I look ignorant? “Do I look like an uneducated person?”
“… … .”
Yu Yu-cheong pursed his lips. Is the blood pressure just about to be released? Yu Yusa-cheong’s mouth was constantly drying, and sweat was beading on the bridge of his nose.
After taking a drink, I sighed with a serious expression.
“To kill or to save, that is the question.”
I pulled out the flash dagger and placed it on the table.
