Chapter 146
In every meeting there is a parting.
As the familiar six-headed wagon came closer, Zhou Pyo held out something the size of the palm of his hand to me.
“What is this?”
“It’s a reward for the fruit of today’s meeting.”
“Ouch, what kind of things… … When I received it and looked closely, it was a kind of golden medallion.
Clouds and dragons were delicately engraved on the surface, and it shone in the sunlight.
belt ring.
– The quest target is very happy with today’s meeting!
– I got the [Sangsan King’s Token] as a quest reward!
“It is the proof of wine. If you have a specific item or wish, bring a token and come to us. I will listen as far as I can.”
“oh.”
It’s an exchange coupon.
Twenty Chinese restaurant coupons cost sweet and sour six, but since this is an exchange coupon from King Sangsan, I don’t know if it can be exchanged for various elixirs or treasures.
‘I still need a weapon, but.’
Thanks to absorbing deteriorating gods, the air power is sufficient.
However, it is a pity that there is no usable window. The other weapons were almost like disposable chopsticks from the beginning and were thrown away.
Am I going to change it all right now?” I thought about it for a moment, but then I shook my head.
The big crisis has already passed. In a situation where there is nothing urgent, it is too wasteful to exchange the token of the king for a single weapon.
“thank you. I really wanted this.”
As I bowed down, Joo Pyo raised his toe and stroked my hair.
“I’m glad you like it too.”
This feels very strange. Look at me because it’s cute
In the meantime, the carriage to take us stopped. Joo-pyo waves at me as I try to climb into the carriage.
“Go carefully! Come again next time!”
You should come next time, man.
There are only about 15 days left until the first day of the new year, that is, the end of the year. Perhaps by then we will see the young king again.
“Enough then.”
“I’ll be back, Your Highness.”
Because the carriage is so large, the entrance is also wide. Hongjin and I climbed into the carriage side by side.
“… … huh?”
No, wait. It was so natural that I almost passed it.
I looked at Hongjin with an absurd mind.
“What is it?”
“huh? why?”
“This is the carriage that Taewon Jin goes to.”
“i know. That’s why I got on it.”
“yes?”
“Take out the horns as well. At this point, shouldn’t we have a talk with Lord Soga?”
Hongjin smiled and snapped her fingers, and an official came running like the wind.
“Comrade Do Commander. Anything to order?”
“I’m visiting without prior arrangement, so I should bring a lot of presents. Don’t forget to send a messenger in advance to greet them politely.”
“I will follow your orders!”
Lee Pung-do gave instructions to the general under his command.
“You are a VIP. Take me to Taewon Jinga.”
“insect!”
At the command of the two, the troops and a hastily formed delegation of as many as one hundred men begin to move in perfect order.
The blue wind, which was about to climb following the scene, gave a small clap.
wow
Having obtained the set of Guards goods he had longed for, he decided to stay at Taewonjinga for the time being.
Lee Pung bowed his head at me.
”I’d like to ask you to stay overnight.”
“It was nothing.”
Even if you don’t have to listen to those words, this is the person you want to be close to first.
If Cheongpung is used as a stepping stone to strengthen the relationship with the Hwasan faction, the future of Taewon Jinga is sure to be bright.
‘He’s also a fun guy.’
Cheongpung smiled brightly and waved his hand.
“Yi Fung Sajil, don’t worry about me!
When I’m with Gongja Jin, interesting things happen again and again!”
“… … I’m telling you just in case, but don’t just make an accident.”
you]!”
The answer is good.
I turned my head towards the remaining people.
“What did you guys decide to do?”
The later exponents of the Sanseo Gate answered hesitantly.
“I plan to stay at Honghwa Gaekjan until the fabric arrives.”
“It’s too tight to go back to my hometown…
“Actually, I don’t even dare to go back.”

“If I go back now, my father might kill me.”
It’s a depressing answer.
Well, it makes sense, since rumors about what happened the day before should be spreading like winged horses by now.
I clicked my tongue looking at the guys.
“Stay calm until the fabric. I’ll talk to the lords later.”
“Are you sure?”
“In return, each of you is doing well. You know what I’m talking about?”
“The Nebula Marking Bureau… … Yes, I understand.”
The trend is already irreversible. Now these guys and the masters of the Sanseo Wumen will know that fact.
From now on, I have no choice but to grow in size as much as possible under Taewon Jinga.
“Okay, then let’s work hard and see you at the fabric.”
“yes?”
“Why, what.”
“Well, we are on our way too.”
“where. A safflower guest cup?”
yes.”
I blew a word to the bewildered guys.
“This is the Taewon Jinga Express.”
bang!
As soon as the door closed, the carriage started to move.
The interior was spacious even for six people.
The three of us, Cheongpung and Hongjin, each took several seats and leaned against the soft seats.
“I think I can live here.”
Cheongpung continued with a happy smile.
“When I lived with my grandfather, I slept on grass or stones. I don’t think I can live like that anymore.”
There is no primitive man who has come into contact with civilization.
At that, Hongjin asked with a curious look.
“Then did Confucius always live in the volcano?”
“yes. From a very young age. But they say they weren’t born in a volcano. I asked my grandfather before, and I heard that I came to the volcano when I was three or four years old.”
I guess so. No matter how great a master swordsman is, there are limits to parenting.
A man’s breasts won’t produce milk just because he becomes an ultra-high master.
No, if you’re a transcendent master, you don’t know.
They are monsters who use sword skills and sword swordsmanship, but they can only come out of milk.
I imagined the scene of a gray-haired grandfather nursing a newborn baby.
”wow”
“Benefactor, are you okay?”
“Gongja Jin. are you okay?”
“it’s okay. I just felt sick to my stomach for a moment.”
“Oh my, that doesn’t work. Now, lie down on my lap.”
I’m afraid I’ll just break my knee.
As I cursed with my eyes, Hongjin covered her mouth and laughed.
“Hoho, after all, Gongja Jin is fun to tease.”
If Mi-in said something like that, I would have laughed along, but Hong-jin is clearly a man. Powdering his face white and putting something on his lips doesn’t change that fact.
‘They said they were from the inner court.’
If it’s an introspection, isn’t it a eunuch?
I heard before that just because you’re a eunuch doesn’t mean you’re a eunuch. However, there is no way to tell whether a person has Heung-jin or not.
“Confucius Qin.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Where are you looking now?”
“Ah, it looks like something is buried, so stop it.”
damn, i got it
He is not a Moorim person, but he has a high level of notice. Taking my eyes off Hongjin’s lower body, I hurriedly changed the subject.
“By the way, how did Lee Poong Daehyeop end up in the military?”
“This addon? Of course, I came in after passing the martial arts exam. After that, it was a solid road.”
“As expected, it’s different because you’re a volcanic faction’s disciple.”
“I wouldn’t say it doesn’t have an impact, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s really difficult to become a Jeong Sam-pum Do Commander in just ten years.”
“If it’s Jeongsampum… … T
“What is Jeongsampum? Are you eating?”
I know it’s a high position, but that’s it.
Hongjin explained step by step to Cheongpung and I, who were unable to catch inspiration.
“It is a senior position. There are only four in each castle, and in the case of this cheomsa, it is within three fingers of the military in terms of rank.”
Hongjin picked up his fingers one by one.
“The commander-in-chief, the provincial commander, is below him. And the third is this affix. Of course, the one who is above everyone is King Sangsan.”
“Are you the commander?”
“He is about to retire. Born as the son of a general, he made a little contribution, and he likes bribes a lot.”
You are a corrupt soldier. Livelihood corruption has become a daily routine.
Since the person called the commander-in-chief is like that, it is fully explained that the public security in Shanxi has been messed up lately.
“The current provincial commander is incompetent. You can tell just by looking at the swarms of bandits as soon as the Hengshan checkpoint is broken.”
“If you’re so incompetent… … Why don’t you cut it off?” he swallowed before spitting out the words. What am I doing to get involved in someone else’s work? Those are high-ranking officials.
Hongjin added a kind explanation to my reaction.
“The provincial commander is directly appointed by the emperor. The same goes for dismissal.”
“ah.”
“Well, I’m glad I don’t have any more greed than that. I like bribes, so I’m not in a position to curse.”
Well, there are all these guys. I’ve seen many politicians claiming innocence on various bribery charges on TV, but this is the first case like Hong Jin.
“Why did I look so innocent?”
“no. I thought you might like bribes, but… …
“You didn’t know how to say this openly?”
“Well, yes. To be honest, I’m a little embarrassed right now.”
“Gongja Jin. You know what?”
Hongjin continued with a serious expression.
“I don’t have anything.”
“yes?”
“Goja.”
How should I answer this?
I guessed it, but I didn’t expect to throw such a bombshell statement out of the blue.
Cheongpung, who was looking out the window, suddenly interrupted with a curious face.
“What is a eunuch?”
“… … Please, please shut up.”
There’s no chilli, chilli!
Every second is slow. I broke into a cold sweat and opened my mouth.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s a pity. In life, there are people who don’t have it, and there are people who have it.
isn’t it?”
“that… … That’s right.”
Even I am humbled by the respectful mindset.
In the meantime, the primitive man who did not know the meaning of the eunuch kept talking without notice.
“Benefactor, can you tell me what a eunuch is?”
I won’t tell you even if I die. never.
Let me tell you, ‘Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a person without a chili!’ There’s a 99.99 percent chance of saying something like that.
But Hong Jin was resolute.
“Goja doesn’t have chili peppers.”
“Wow, that’s the first person without a chili…”
“Oh, shut up!”
Huck, the startled blue wind sucked in a breath.
“Ugh, benefactor.”
“Calm down. Confucius Jin. Maybe if you live in the mountains. And well, it’s not like I’m living as a eunuch for a day or two.”
“Still, you talk too harshly.”
“Did I do something wrong? I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay. Straighten your shoulders. It’s still hanging.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, so I’m not going anywhere.
Hong-jin, who waved his hand as if to calm down, continued talking nonchalantly.
“I have never regretted the decision I made. I can’t do anything when my family members are starving to death, can’t I?”
“Oh. Yes.”
“Me too, I would have!”
Now, whatever Hong-jin says, I have to agree with him. Cheongpung and I just nodded, feeling like treacherous criminals.
“I’m not innocent, but I’m not a coward enough to betray trust.
If that was the case, I wouldn’t have served Her Highness until now.”
Hongjin stared out the window with a blurry gaze.
“A long time ago, I served the emperor by my side. He gave me an order to assist His Highness King Sangsan.”
“The Emperor?”
If the deceased emperor had made such a request, it means that he was also in a high-ranking position among the eunuchs.
Hongjin nodded and continued.
“I came to the outskirts, not exile, but… … For now, I’m satisfied with this enough.”
Unlike words, there is a light that cannot be hidden in the eyes.
ambition? hope? Before I could understand its meaning, the light disappeared, and the coachman’s quiet voice pierced my ears.
‘I can see Taewon’s true value.”
