Episode 293. shake the world (4)
“Go, thank you.”
Blood was still spurting from Gong Sun Myung’s severed arm. Even Jong-goo was terrified by the bloody sight, but he did not forget the minimum duty.
Seo Liang shook his hand.
“What is gratitude?”
“no. Thanks to the righteous man, I have been able to protect Juru, which is a gift that I will not be able to repay even if I spend my life.”
It wasn’t just words.
Jong-goo’s face was full of sincerity. Although Rouge is different, he was also the one who built this place together with Rouge. He was able to protect the tower he had dedicated his life to, so there is no need to say how grateful he was.
“I don’t think it’s time to be so relieved.”
“yes?”
“There aren’t that many factions that have as much influence as Gongson-se’s throughout the central plains. Of course, there are many Daemun factions who treat it like a courtesy tax, but we can’t ignore the power they have accumulated.”
“… … !”
“We are entangled in this way, but if they play a stern trick again, will Biyeonru here also walk the path of hardship again?”
Jong-goo’s eyes twitched.
Said with a smile.
“So that’s what I mean… … .”
“Great man! Get out of here!”
“Eh?”
“Gongsun Sei will surely lead an army to attack this place! If Daein is here, he will not be able to avoid suffering! You must get out of here!”
Seo Liang looked at Jong Goo with blank eyes.
‘Is this person sane?’
It’s true even if you watch it twice or three times. Jong-goo was sincerely worried about himself and Ma Dong-pil.
‘He’s stupidly innocent.’
No matter how good a person is, once they have been helped, they will want more help.
But Jong-goo wasn’t like that. Rather, he is afraid that the benefactors who helped him will be harmed, so he tells them to leave here quickly.
‘It must be difficult to live in a harsh world with this kind of temperament. but… … .’
At the same time, because he had lived his whole life with this personality, he could have been the general manager of Juru.
Seo Liang said.
“Let’s think about that in a moment.”
“Great man!”
“There is one thing I want to ask you.”
The situation was urgent, but Jong-goo responded politely.
“Tell me.”
“Hasn’t there been a Moorim faction that has looked after you?”
“… … There was none.”
“Haven’t you ever held hands with the gangsters?”
Jong-goo shook his head.
“None.”
“Is there a reason?”
“If I had to give a reason, it was because I thought that if I joined hands with the Moorim sect, it would always harm me.”
Jong-goo sighed.
“The easiest and fastest way for the weak to survive in difficult times is to go under the strong who will become a fence. But strength is relative. Whenever another strong person appears and robs the interests, it is small merchants like us who bleed in the middle.”
“Is that why you didn’t hold hands with the Moorim sect?”
“Right now, yes. It will be somewhat difficult in the beginning, but I wanted to earn enough money by carefully expanding the business.”
“I don’t think that’s all. You said you wouldn’t hold hands right now, but is there a place you’ve looked at?”
After hesitating for a moment, Jong-gu let out a small sigh and said.
“I wanted to strike a deal with the Namgung family.”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
“With Namgung?”
“That’s right. Although I don’t know much about worldly life, I do know that the Namgung family’s guidance is incomparable to that of the Gongson family.”
“Have you done it?”
“Anyway, the distance from here to the Southern Palace in Huangshan is quite far. So, by making this place one of Namgung’s bunta, we are aiming to protect our business and at the same time become the eyes of Namgung’s family.”
A look of surprise flashed across Shi Liang’s face.
“I can’t help but join hands with the Murim sect, so if that’s the case, would you like to join hands with the Anhui strongest sect to plan the future?”
“… … That’s right.”
Have you ever seen such a cute person?
‘I thought he was such a timid person, but was he looking that far?’
Xu Liang genuinely admired Jong Gu.
I thought he was an infinitely good person, but he wasn’t. It would be difficult to survive beyond the age of forty in this turbulent world just by being kind.
Instead of waiting for Moonpa to reach out, he reaches out first.
Proving your ability and value by expanding your business comes first, and deals come second. There was a strong determination not to be dragged around by others.
“Wonderful.”
“Oh, no. Now that I think about it, she was just dreaming big. Justice without power is so empty.”
Jong-goo’s face was smeared with the sadness of the weak.
Xu Liang saw Ma Dong-pil.
A subtle surprise flashed across his sullen face. He too admired Jong-goo’s aspirations.
Seo Liang smiled.
“Look, Commander.”

“Yes, man.”
“Okay, is it okay if I’m not the Namgung family?”
“yes?”
“There is no military force as strong as that of the Namgung family, but there is one faction that possesses power that the Namgung family does not possess. Do you have any plans to join hands with such a munpa?”
Jong-goo tilted his head.
“Which school are you talking about… … ?”
“Haomun.”
“… … !”
“Hao Mun’s information power penetrates all of the central plains. Besides, now that the open state is missing, Haowen is not lacking in being called the best in the world of intelligence.”
Jong-goo’s eyes widened.
Seo Liang spoke quickly.
“Of course, I may not believe it. Because Haomen has always been oriented in the dark. But they don’t take payoffs or commit tyranny on contracted juruses. In other words, mutual aid… … .”
“of course!”
“… … Eh?”
A look of excitement appeared on Jong-goo’s face.
“If I could make a connection with Hao Mun, I would do it no matter what!”
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes.
“Haomun is better than the Namgung family… … ?”
“At least for the merchants who run the Juru like us, Hao Mun is the one we most want to connect with!”
If it’s natural, it’s natural.
Because Hao Mun is oriented in the dark, it rather comes as a bigger charm to small merchants. At least there is nothing to be swept up in a dispute between factions, and damage recovery is certain.
In addition, Hao Mun’s financial power was impossible to convert into numbers. Thanks to this, when the contracted juruna shop saw unfair damage, they would take the lead in helping them.
In addition, since the back alleys did not dare to touch it, it was truly the best door for merchants.
Of course, cases as vicious as Gongson’s tax are really rare. In other words, non-involvement was unlucky.
Seo Liang ate his appetite.
“I didn’t know Haomen would be so popular. Okay, if you do, I will connect this Juru to Haomen.”
“Yes?!”
Jong-goo was surprised.
“You mean that is possible?”
“Did you mention Haowen for nothing?”
A look of emotion appeared on Jong-goo’s face.
“If only that could be true… … .”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“I just make connections. Whether or not the contract with Hao-men is properly concluded depends on the governor and Lu Zhu.”
“No, of course! That alone is a grace that is hard to bear!”
It looked like he didn’t know if this was a dream or real life.
Seo Liang smiled.
“Now then, let’s wrap up today’s situation.”
“yes?”
“There’s a lot of politeness tax left, isn’t it?”
In an instant, Jong-goo’s face turned red.
“This, it’s not like this, you should hurry and avoid it… … .”
“It’s okay. It’s not like you’ve lived a life so clumsy that you could only be beaten by guys like that.”
What does this mean?
Behind Jong-goo’s anxious face.
Seo Liang’s eyes lit up as he sat in any chair. His pupils, which had been bright blood, were colored with a faint blue light before he knew it.
“They are neither overflowing nor lacking in sacrifice. Sosumu did a good job.”
After a while.
Whoops.
A faint spirit emanated from outside the base. It was the energy that Kumho exuded.
Seo Liang smiled.
“Dongpil-ah, let’s go.”
“yes.”
rattle!
Xu Liang opened the door of the main house and saw Geumho with golden hair flying in his eyes.
“A monster, is it a monster?”
“A wolf? fox?”
“oh my god… … There was such a beast!”
People from a distance looked at Keumho as if possessed.
Anyone who sees a beast as big as a great tiger and with a strange appearance like a fox or a wolf would be shocked.
But no one escaped. It was because it was too mysterious to be seen as a simple beast, so I didn’t think it would harm people.
Seruk.
When Xianliang came out, Kumho fell face down.
Its body is so large that even when lying down, its head comes above the waist of an adult man.
Xu Liang stroked Kumho’s head. Kumho made a gurgling sound and rubbed his snout on Xu Liang’s thigh.
“He is coming.”
In the distance, the crowd split left and right.
Between the divided crowds, warriors who were well over a hundred were approaching with a restrained gait. All of them are emitting a sharp prayer, which is not often seen in Gangho.
And at the head of that samurai group was a middle-aged man with a knife mark that crossed his face obliquely.
‘I think I’ve seen it once.’
When the old man took office as the leader.
The leaders of the munpa, who were said to have some power in each region, received the liquor of the leader along with their respective successors.
I remember seeing it once. Even then, when he was a 20-year-old young man, there were bloody knife marks on his face. It was an impression not easily forgotten.
‘The young heir at that time has grown old and is now a dictator who tramples on local commercial power.’
Because it’s so hard to know what’s going on in the world.
chuck.
Gongsun’s troops stopped walking.
Gongsun Huang, the head of the household, lit up his eyes.
“Are you guys?”
Even though there are about twenty chapters apart, the voice is vividly conveyed.
It was an amazing inner skill. It is the same peak master as Gongsunmyeong, but the level of achievement was different. Xu Liang and Ma Dong-pil passed the process in an instant, but the gap between the top masters is extreme.
That Emperor Gongsun was already approaching his transcendent peak. As the head of Ilmun, he was a martial artist with no shortage.
Seo Liang smiled.
“A courtesy housekeeper?”
“Yes.”
“I didn’t know you would really come.”
Gongsun Huang did not waver. He was, at least outwardly.
“I wanted to see for myself what kind of rogue boat it was. It’s hard to find people who have touched the original family lately.”
There was great pride in his calm voice.
In fact, it probably isn’t just for that reason. It must have been their intention to properly show the power of the Gongsun family today and at the same time to make non-involvement completely their own.
“If he is able to knock down the head of the sword and the warriors under his command, he must be a great master. But you guys made a mistake. Dare to come back… … .”
“Ah, okay. I’ve heard such obvious lines many times. It’s sloppy.”
Gongsun Huang’s eyes trembled.
Seo Liang said calmly.
“What I want to know is this. As the government department is not doing its job properly, the government office makes the Moorim faction, which can be said to be a prestigious local retainer, in charge of security. But why are you guys trying to steal the bar like a robber? Rather, protecting them would not be enough.”
Xi Liang’s voice had a much deeper resonance than Gongsun Huang’s.
A voice that spreads in all directions. It was a voice of strong trust.
Gongsun Huang exclaimed.
“Shut up! Where did you get such advice… … !”
“You came with a contract asking for six percent of your income. Is that a robbery?”
People looked at Gongsun Huang in amazement. To give away six percent of your income? It didn’t sound like just dying.
Gongsun Huang’s eyes lit up with life.
“How dare these people look at someone with that kind of eyes!!”
Whoa!
“omg!”
People bowed their heads involuntarily. He was frightened by the life of the warriors, including Gongsun Huang.
Seo Liang smiled.
Gongsun Huang shouted again.
“I won’t say much! Cut off an arm yourself! Then I will save your life.”
“eight?”
“Yes!”
“It’s an arm… … That’s good.”
Kwaduk!
Gongsun Huang’s eyes widened.
Seo Liang, who was standing far away, was approaching him in the blink of an eye.
Seo Liang waved his hand.
Surprisingly, in his hand was a torn arm. It was Gongsun Huang’s arm.
Fuhuaaak!
“Keah!”
late bleeding. Gongsun Huang stumbled and stepped back.
Xi Liang’s eyes were dyed a deep blue.
“Where next?”
