Episode 67 Eat some rice.
I stared at the flash dagger stuck on the table.
“When I was young, there was an interesting older brother in the neighborhood. Why are there people like that? He was the kind of guy that everyone in the neighborhood had, who was cheerful, fun, and kind to me. “He also had a manly personality.”
“… … .”
“Life and death in our neighborhood was like this. Each person sticks a dagger on the table and solves it through conversation. If it doesn’t work out, each person grabs the dagger and stabs the other person. Although it was a matter of life and death, no one died every time. Still, one or two fingers were definitely cut off. In my young eyes, it was a pretty bloody fight. “The people in my hometown never gave up easily.”
I looked at Yusacheong.
“One day, my brother was found dead on the table. Well, it wasn’t that surprising. My grandfather cleaned up the body, and I came with a mop and wiped the table. But the rag kept getting caught on the table. When I looked, I saw dozens of dagger marks on the table. This thought occurred to me. Still, the brother I know didn’t die in a bad fight. “I wiped that table at least once a day, and each time I thought about how to accept my feelings.”
“… … .”
“The table wasn’t cleaned well every time because of the knife marks.”
“… … .”
“I suddenly can’t remember my name. He’s also an orphan, so there’s no way to find out. Anyway, some time passed, but the guy who killed my local brother died by my hands in the same way.”
I pulled out my flash dagger.
“In the end, he turned around and died on me.”
Yu Yu-cheong, who was trapped, was shaking his whole body. A grown man even shed tears.
Yu Yu-cheong finally opened his mouth.
“Salvage, please save me!”
“Is your blood pressure relieved?”
“Please save me. I’ll tell you everything I know. “I will cooperate unconditionally.”
“I don’t know what you want to say, but I’m not interested.”
I held out my flashing dagger and cut Yusicheng’s trap. The thick rope was cut easily, as if a knife had been applied to a dumpling.
I grabbed Yoo Yu-cheong’s arm and put him on the table.
“It’s just that the pain has not been resolved yet. From now on, if you don’t come to your senses, you’ll have to buy coins. “Try to catch your breath.”
I said while holding his hand tightly.
“And why am I killing you?”
He practiced the absorption method.
“ugh… … Black… … .”
The pure inner energy of Yusicheng passed through my intestines and entered my body. After stopping the Absorbing Great Technique for a moment, I dispatched a ray of True Qi and injected a scout into Yusacheong’s body. After that, I continued the absorption technique again. After a while, Jinki, who had gone on a scouting trip, came back into my body.
Before we knew it, tears, snot, and saliva were all mixed up on Yu Yu-cheong’s face.
I checked the state of Yusacheong, stopped practicing absorption, and took a deep breath.
I too need a breakfast right now.
The true energy of Geukyang, bubbling up in my Danjeon, rose to the top of my head, making my face feel hot, and I felt a reddish glow mingling with my vision.
I turned Yusa-cheong’s palm and stabbed the flashing dagger into the back of his hand.
A flashing dagger penetrated the back of my hand and struck the table with a loud sound. Yusa-cheong said while his screams were long and loud.
“noisy. When that poisonous student from earlier wakes up, he will come here and turn your neck several times. “Wouldn’t it be better to endure pain than to die?”
“Sigh… … .”
I glared at Yusacheong out of the corner of my eye, then sat cross-legged on the chair and started the fortune-telling breakfast.
“If you are confident, pull it out and attack. “That’s the way our neighborhood lives and dies.”
With Yusa Cheong next to me, I drew on the power of Cheonok and began to eat fortune. Even though it was a short period of time, I burned a considerable amount of true energy and accumulated it in my inner energy. However, I had a strange feeling about the fact that the state of Geumgu Soyogong was still in the salt world. It was definitely a martial art where it became really difficult to conquer each level from the mid-stage.
Even now, if you try too hard, you can break through the Flame Realm.
However, I was not in a hurry because the overall principle of martial arts contained in Geumgu Soyogong did not want it.
When I opened my eyes after calmly completing the first week of prayer, Yu Yu-cheong had used his own method to block the circulation in my arm to stop the bleeding.
Yu Yu-cheong said with a pale expression.
“… … “It stopped the bleeding for a moment.”
It seems Yusa-cheong has come to his senses now. Saying things like “please save me” or “I’ll destroy everything I know” don’t apply to me.
I looked at Yusa Cheong and answered briefly.
“Good job.”
“yes.”
When I pulled out the flash dagger, Yu Yu-cheong quickly ripped off the collar with one hand and mouth and quickly wrapped the back of his hand.
I poured alcohol into an empty glass and handed it out to the office.
Yu Yu-cheong then took a drink with his free hand. I took an impressive sip of water, as if I had been drinking water for the first time in a long time in the desert. Yusa-cheong, who had taken a sip of his drink, opened his mouth with bloodshot eyes.
“thank you.”
I also said this while drinking.
“The reason Muakmunju and Lady Cheolseom came to me and bowed their heads is because their residence is fixed. He probably put down his pride and came to apologize because he knew that I could annihilate Muakmun or go to Yuhwagok and set it on fire. They didn’t apologize to me because they had less pride than you. “I felt a sense of responsibility because I had students to protect and a family to feed.”
I continued speaking while pointing my finger at Yusacheong.
“But I’m not really interested in your situation. “You are the owner of a gambling house.”
“yes.”
“The way you live.”
“Please speak.”
“If you don’t help me in the future when I kill Prince Lee Ryongno and Teacher Su, there is no reason to keep you alive. Two people attacked me first, but they were the ones who were going to hinder my movements anyway. That’s how Daenachal died, and that’s how Heukseon Boju died. Because I am an orphan like my brother who was stabbed to death, I have nothing to protect, such as Yuhwagok or Muakmun. The minions gathered here? Daenachal’s disciples, Heukseonbo’s followers, and the subordinates of those I killed were mixed together. You are not qualified to be my subordinate now, and your chances of surviving in my hands are low. “Your life depends on what you do with Prince Lee Ryongno and Teacher Su, so how can you persuade me?”
Yu Yu-cheong looked like he was about to pass out and was trying hard to find words to answer, but for a moment he seemed to have lost consciousness and hit his head on the table.
thud!
I sighed.
“Tsk.”
Why do more and more people faint while talking to me?
‘Should I get counseling from Teacher Moyong…? … .’
At this time, a single student walked out from inside and asked me.
“Have you had a conversation?”
“I fainted while doing it.”

Dokgo-saeng put his hand on Yu Sa-cheong’s neck.
“You’re breathing.”
The high school student said while glaring at me.
“Get some sleep. My eyes are red. “It’s unusually purple.”
Only then did I stand up.
“sleep.”
* * *
When my subordinates told me to eat, I just washed my face and went back to the main hall. Even though there were no ministers, the table was full of food that the subordinates had roughly prepared.
I scratched my head and sat down to eat.
One by one, they returned to where they were sitting yesterday and started eating. Sogunpyeong asked while eating.
“Let’s attack Lee Ryongnogun first. Should I start with teacher Su?”
I answered while chewing the vegetables.
“I don’t know.”
the white man asked.
“Where did Yusacheong go?”
“I don’t know. “Let’s eat first.”
I am a man who doesn’t know many things. While eating, the door to the main hall opened and Dok-go-saeng and Yoo Yu-cheong came in together.
The eyes of the executives and priests were focused on the two people.
A student from Dokgo came first, pulled out a chair and spoke to Yoo Yu-cheong, who was staggering.
“sit down.”
Yu Yu-cheong said hello and sat down.
“thank you.”
Everyone ate while shaking their heads.
Yu Yu-cheong’s face was covered in blood and had been washed. Dokgosaeng said while stroking Yusa-cheong’s back.
“Let’s eat. “You should eat a lot too.”
“yes.”
How many times have you had to hit someone to be so discouraged? I thought it was fortunate that Yu Yu-cheong didn’t die.
I was struggling alone while eating.
“Is it okay for people to be that cruel?”
The high school student answered.
“Well, don’t tell me such boring jokes. “Because it’s not funny at all.”
Dokgo-saeng explained the state of Yusacheong to others.
“Our Ark pierced the back of this guy’s hand with a sword. When I listened to it, it seemed like my strength had been taken away. And they were so scared of our ark that it was very difficult for me to talk to them. All I got was a few punches in the face. Yu Yu-cheong, am I wrong?”
Yu Yu-cheong answered while eating.
“you’re right.”
The high school student spoke strange words to the audience.
“Because the Ark has a lot to worry about. I’ll take care of this guy now. “Please take note.”
No one responded, perhaps because the single high school student really had a nasty personality. Suddenly, Dokgosaeng patted Yusa-cheong’s back.
“Eat a lot.”
“yes.”
For a moment, I also had goosebumps running down my spine.
When the high school student kept talking informally to me, Cha Seong-tae intervened.
“Student of high school alone, you have suffered a lot.”
“… … !”
For a moment, the audience’s gaze shifted alternately between Cha Seong-tae and the solo student.
The high school student responded with an indifferent expression.
“Commissioner Cha, you too are having a hard time just eating.”
As everyone giggled at the high school student’s words, Cha Seong-tae’s face turned red again. Everyone was eating without saying anything, but Yu Yu-cheong opened his mouth.
“Ark.”
“why.”
“If you allow me, I will bring the troops and I will be the vanguard…” … . “I will go with my high school student.”
I glared at Yusa-cheong and responded.
“Just eat some food.”
“yes.”
When I was about to finish eating, I spoke to Sogunpyeong.
“Since we’re full, let’s have a daytime drink.”
Sogunpyeong responded with a grin.
“Is that so?”
I am now the leader of the most pathetic people in the world. There is no plan, no direction. All I had in my head was a grand strategy and the belief that the person who needed to die would die by my hands.
While we were drinking, Baekyu spoke to me.
“Master, let’s do the fan dance.”
“Sure.”
Baekyu, who had been drinking, danced a fan dance, Dokgosaeng began to crave Yusacheong again, and Cha Seongtae often glared at Dokgosaeng with a mischievous look in his eyes while drinking.
Meanwhile, Hongshin sang a song as Baekyu danced.
White people still drink alcohol in a decent manner.
Cheongjin was disapproving as he looked at these idiots.
It was truly a mess.
I too was getting drunk, so I looked at my subordinates and clicked my tongue.
“Oh, you pathetic bastards.”
What on earth is the single high school student saying that he is longing for pseudo-cheong? Yoo Yu-cheong, who had been silently listening to the story, ended up shedding tears.
There was no need to do anything because I was waiting for the enemies to weaken themselves. In the end, amidst this mess, I sat cross-legged on the chair again and fell into meditation.
The sound of Hongshin singing fades away.
Dokgo-saeng’s words and Yoo Sa-cheong’s sobs also disappeared.
“… … .”
A combination of the effects of alcohol and meditation… … .
Before I knew it, I was sitting at the old Jaha guesthouse.
.
.
.
“Jaha, give me a bowl of noodles.”
A local guy wearing a clean white coat from top to bottom entered the guesthouse and sat down. I took a clean cloth and wiped clean the table where my brother was sitting. The table was clean, so it was wiped well.
“Where are you going, brother? “You’re neatly dressed.”
I was sitting across from my neighbor, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, while he ate noodles without saying a word. My brother, who had finished drinking the soup, asked me as he put down the bowl.
“You didn’t remember my name? “I feel sorry for you.”
“What was your brother’s name?”
My brother revealed his name, and I answered roughly without even remembering it.
“Oh right. “Now I remember.”
“It was a good meal.”
I asked while my brother was getting up from paying the bill.
“Where are you going dressed up? Are you going to meet a girl?”
My brother shook his head and smiled brightly.
“Women, now you have to make a fresh start.”
“Aren’t we going to have sword fights anymore? “I have to get revenge on Jo Yi-gyeol.”
“What kind of revenge is this when you’re already dead? Anyway, thank you. I’m going.”
I made eye contact with my brother and then smiled.
“A new start, do well.”
My brother grinned in front of Jaha’s guest cup.
“okay.”
.
.
.
As soon as I opened my eyes again, I let out a long, trembling breath.
It was a strange dream, but I didn’t think it was strange.
I just thought it was a neighborhood brother who was starting over.
While looking at his subordinates, one corner of his mouth turned up.
