Episode 80. futile (5)
“I don’t know how the hell this happened.”
Ma Dong-pil’s face was one of confusion.
Joohwa shook her head.
“We will find out why later. I think it would be best to rest for now.”
Ma Dong-pil nodded. In fact, even if I tried to find out the reason, there was no way to know right away.
“How are you feeling?”
“are you okay.”
It definitely seemed to be fine. His face was bloody and the movements of his limbs were very natural.
However, the swelling on the face has not gone down yet. No matter how great the magic was, it wasn’t a wound that could heal in less than half a day.
“When are you planning to leave?”
“When Confucius wakes up.”
yes.
Ma Dong-pil looked at Humi’s carriage. Confucius was in the middle of the flight after taking medicine for hypochondria.
‘Whew.’
Truly, this operation was full of shame. If I had known that Confucius would end up in such a mess, I would have given up on protecting coins and ran away.
‘but… … .’
Again, I can’t help but admire it.
All the demons, led by himself, looked at the traces of the fierce battle on the top of the hill.
And I was astonished. It was because he knew how high-level martial arts were to reveal the traces engraved all over the hill.
It is a military feat that the combat unit commanders of the civil war cannot even dream of.
No, it was a question of how many MEN could survive such a fierce battle across all organizations within the civil war.
‘I can’t believe it, Mr. Confucius… … .’
Ma Dong-pil’s face came to mind.
‘Have you already ascended to that realm?’
transcendence.
It’s easy to say, but the status of those who are called transcendent masters is enormous.
It was the realm of transcendence, where a talented samurai could not climb without luck even if he practiced the highest level of martial arts for decades without missing a day.
In the first place, the word that it transcended the peak proves the difficulty of this state. The climax means reaching the end, but isn’t it that even the end has been transcended?
‘Considering the age of Confucius, this… … .’
Xi Liang is now around twenty-five.
Did you reach that level in your mid-twenties? It was not an area that could be explained by common sense.
‘I’m envious.’
Ma Dong-pil’s fists gained strength.
‘I want to follow.’
There was no jealousy. He wasn’t something to be jealous of, and he wasn’t even temperamental enough to feel that way.
It was just infinitely envious.
And I wanted to follow. Even if I couldn’t catch up, I wanted to reach the place where I could see Xi Liang’s back.
“I don’t know that kind of relationship.”
Ma Dong-pil, startled by the sudden voice, looked at the coin.
Joo-hwa said with his characteristic expressionless face.
“It looks like the face of a man looking at the woman he loves.”
“What do you mean?”
“Weren’t you looking at Confucius?”
Ma Dong-pil nodded.
“Right.”
“… … .”
“… … Not like that.”
“yes.”
“Don’t get me wrong. I am… … .”
“I am not misunderstanding. Because that’s just what it says.”
“… … .”
“You seem to have a close relationship with Confucius.”
“There is nothing to call it friendship. I just worked hard for Confucius, and Confucius only appreciated me undeservedly.”
Joohwa shook her head.
“Whatever it is, the relationship between the two of you seems special.”
“I don’t mind. If you say that, I’m very sorry to Gongja. I am but a sword and shield.”
A person who is always firm and firm.
The coin followed Ma Dong-pil’s gaze and turned to the carriage.
“What kind of person are you?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s Gongja.”
“You cannot define a person in a few words. Especially if you are such a great person.”
Coin, who had been quietly looking at the carriage, opened her mouth. With the thought that after somehow waking up, she will talk a lot.
“Confucius healed my body.”
I didn’t say there was a deal of any kind. It was because he thought that he might not know if Madong Phil knew the inside story, and even if he did, it would not be something he would say.
“My body was in a mess from the state fire. He returned my body to normal in less than 15 days.”
“I see.”

“It doesn’t end there. While coming this far, I restored about half of my martial arts.”
“… … !”
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not my perfect ability. Without Confucius’ help, it would have been absolutely impossible.”
“hmm… … .”
“Did you see the three captains? The sight of Confucius slaying those monsters.”
“… … Of course.”
Even now, when I think of that time, my heart trembles.
It also got hot at the same time.
It was truly touching to see Confucius, who appeared like a savior at the moment of desperate situation and swept away the wolves with one stroke of fearsome martial arts.
Those who have not experienced that relief will not know. The wind called hope that blew in a moment of despair threw a thrilling ember into everyone’s hearts.
“I’ve never seen a martial art greater than that. But he has never seen a martial art more mysterious than that.”
Ma Dong-pil shook his head.
“No matter what impression you have, it can be rude to evaluate Confucius in this or that way.”
“i know. I know… … .”
“… … .”
“I envy you.”
“Envy, what do you mean?”
“no.”
Ma Dong-pil, who had been staring at her blankly, turned his head. He didn’t want to force himself to talk to someone who didn’t want to talk.
silence for a moment.
It was the coin that broke the silence.
“When do you think you will wake up?”
“You mean Gongja?”
“yes.”
“Well, I don’t think it will take long since he has excellent original body abilities. However, since the muscles of the whole body went to the brink of bursting, maybe half a day was enough… … .”
At that time, a rather weak voice came from inside the carriage.
“Half a day is a plague.”
rattle!
The carriage door opened and the rain fell. Kumho followed behind him.
“Confucius!”
Surprised, the two quickly approached Xu Liang.
Xi Liang’s complexion was still pale. Because he couldn’t get his strength back, the unstable demonic spirit swayed little by little, and he even stumbled because he had no strength.
Ma Dong-pil quickly supported him.
“Are you okay?”
“Dude, does this look okay to your eyes?”
“I’m sorry!”
Seo Liang smiled.
“There are many things to be sorry about. Are you not injured anywhere?”
“I am… … it’s okay.”
“huh? What is it? Have you ever had a broken heart?”
Confused, Ma Dong-pil hurriedly shook his head.
“That’s not like that!”
“Chuckling, it still tastes like teasing.”
“Confucius, how would you like to go inside again and practice luck? You still look incapacitated.”
“it’s okay. Enough of this.”
“still… … .”
“Write!”
“… … sorry.”
“I came out because I could move. It’s all over, so don’t worry too much. And this, get your arm in the armpit too. I’m so stuffy I’m going to die.”
Ma Dong-pil sighed inwardly. It was because he knew how stubborn Xi Liang was like an iron tendon.
When I let go of the support arm, Xu Liang stumbled for a moment.
But for a moment, he caught his breath and straightened himself up. Although it was difficult, there seemed to be no great difficulty in moving.
“Hey, State Secretary.”
It was too fast a recovery for a human who went to the brink of death due to severe internal and external trauma. Zhou Hua, who had been staring blankly in surprise, quickly knelt down on one knee.
“Please kill me, Gongja.”
“What else does this man say?”
“We caused a lot of trouble to Confucius because we were disobedient. I have committed a mortal sin.”
I shuddered as if I was fed up with Seo Liang.
“What kind of trouble did you ask me to kill?”
“… … yes?”
“Stop talking nonsense and stand up. Seriously, is it characteristic of demons to make noise among people?”
There was no way that the two of them could make such a big statement, even though they were the map mines.
“by the way.”
The sage’s face turned cold.
“That corpse, where did you throw it away?”
In my mind, I wanted to send him to the goal after cutting off his limbs and pouring out all sorts of torture.
However, I felt that my body could not stand it any longer, so I broke my neck at once. No matter what the reason was, I couldn’t get caught in the coin intoxication again just to vent my anger.
Ma Dong-pil said calmly.
“It was dumped together near the red wolf carcasses. All belongings, including clothes, were collected just in case.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Xi Liang looked up at the sky.
A red sunset was burning in the clear blue sky.
“Yeah, well done.”
Ma Dong-pil let out a cough.
At first glance, it looked refreshing, but when I looked closely, I felt a bit of bitterness. It seemed that the examination was complex.
“Dongpil.”
“Yes, Gongja.”
“If you can, don’t live with a grudge against someone.”
“yes?”
“I’m not saying not to be angry, and I’m not saying not to hate it. Just let go of those feelings quickly and forget them.”
Seo Liang withheld the complaint.
“Life gets tiring if you live with a tight embrace like me.”
“… … .”
“Well, you can just let it flow. Because you’re too subjective.”
“No, Gongja. I will engrave Confucius’ words into my bones.”
“Damn it.”
Xu Liang looked around with the bright expression he had worked hard to create.
“Did you find all the things?”
“yes. and me… … Well, I also captured one of the men who seemed to be in the party. Would you like to take a look?”
“Don’t look. My business is done.”
“All right. If so, can I leave right now? I think it would be a good idea to stop by the branch and rest.”
“It’s good. Let’s go eat delicious food and get some rest in a soft bed.”
Xi Liang exclaimed cheerfully.
“Now, go back… … .”
For an instant, his expression darkened.
Ma Dong-pil shouted loudly without seeing Seo-ryang’s face.
“State Secretary! I think we can just leave!”
“yes.”
“All three, prepare to move! We will move to the branch!”
“Honorable name!”
Surprised by the roaring answer, Seo-ryang grabbed Ma Dong-pil with a gasp.
“Dongpil! Dongpil!”
“yes? Do you have anything to tell me?”
“No, that’s not it, now I… … .”
Ma Dong-pil’s face hardened before Xu Liang’s words were finished.
“Confucius!”
“I’ve been thinking about it, but it seems like I have a little something left to look at… … .”
In an instant, Xu Liang’s knees faltered.
At the same time, blood flowed from his nose. It was because he was forced to move while his body was not fully healed.
‘What is it, Sibal?!’
Ma Dong-pil hurriedly helped Seo Liang.
“I can’t. We will move as soon as possible.”
“Cool! no! that is… … .”
“There are always good legislators on standby at the branch. It would be better to see a doctor instead.”
“This bird… … !”
“State Secretary! Come on, come on, get ready! Confucius’ details have deteriorated!”
The coin answered quickly.
“Everyone in the convoy, climb into the wagon! I will run without stopping!”
A look of urgency was evident on the sage’s face. My head was spinning and my limbs were losing strength, but none of that mattered now.
‘I have to go to the safe house! Let’s stop by once! no go! Please don’t go!’
Ma Dong-pil laid Seo-ryang in the carriage.
Xi Liang’s vision gradually darkened.
‘I’m not going!!’
rattle!
The carriage door was closed.
