Episode 648 Stories from the reign (23)
Aenghwa’s cooking was truly amazing.
I’ve been so busy that it’s probably been quite a while since I’ve cooked for myself, but my skills have actually improved. More than ten dishes were carefully prepared, and each one was nothing short of a work of art.
Zhong Zhenbaek shook his head.
“My goodness, your skills are comparable to those of the imperial palace servants. “In particular, my skill in handling meat seems to be better than that of the imperial palace servant.”
“Hoo? “I used to drink cheap alcohol quite often, but after eating high-quality food for a few years, my tongue became very sensitive, right?”
Zheng Zhongbaek said indifferently.
“I am a person who enjoyed luxurious food even before entering the imperial palace.”
“Is that so?”
“After all this, he was the leader of the Sapa martial arts group.”
“Still, isn’t it a hundred times better to be the emperor’s sworn brother than to be the leader of the Sapa Martial Forest?”
“If you say no, His Majesty will be disappointed.”
“What’s the point of talking about someone who doesn’t exist?”
“You’re going to get this.”
“Giggles.”
Yeo Kang-hwi said to Aenghwa.
“Vice owner. If you’re bored later, why not come visit the main palace? Let’s reserve a spot for a proper guy. “Wouldn’t it be nice to spend my golden years cooking and drinking with my family?”
Aenghwa just smiled.
Yeo Sang-rin scolded him.
“Why would I come to the main palace to express my regrets about cherry blossoms?”
“No, but human life is… … .”
“Aren’t you being too pretentious in asking me to come and have a good night’s sleep?”
“Kahahahahah! “It’s absolutely not like that.”
“I can see clearly inside.”
“This guy seems to have gotten more harsh since I haven’t seen him before.”
“I used to be like this. “Onii-sama wasn’t watching on purpose.”
The two continued to bicker.
Seo-ryang filled Joo Seo-yoon’s cup.
“By the way, as I said before, it’s been a while since I came home. Why don’t you take a break for a few months?”
Joo Seo-yoon smiled. This is because I was grateful for the support that called Shingyo my home.
“I would like to do that too, but I can’t.”
“If Hubei has been stabilized to that extent, won’t it run on its own now?”
“That’s not the case again.”
Seoliang pointed at Gongyachi with his chin.
“He’s really good at his job, right? I leave it to you, and if something big happens, it won’t be too late to go there, right?”
Gong Yachi accepted his words cheerfully.
“What you said makes sense, sir. “I will take care of all the little things, so please take a break for a few months like the leader said.”
Zheng Zhongbaek snorted.
“You’re making a fuss about not coming, saying you’re not coming, but you’re wagging your tail in front of the religious leader.”
“Isn’t it obvious? “You are the religious leader.”
“It’s so sad.”
“Haha, now that we’ve come this far, what should we do? You just need to sleep less. In addition, the religious leader sometimes sent me medicine, so my physical strength increased even more.”
Joo Seo-yoon smiled.
“We should try to help Gongya Munju sleep a little more. Still, he is a superior person.”
Xu Liang looked at her as if he was proud of her.
“Okay, if that’s what you think, I won’t say more.”
“A few days is enough. Instead, I will come more often from now on.”
“You’re welcome anytime.”
Song Sang-baek said while looking at Ma Dong-pil.
“By the way, I also felt it when I saw you in Hunan Province, but you are really so ruthless, aren’t you?”
“yes?”
“The closer you get to the top, the harder it is to take a step forward. But you have gone beyond common sense. I have become noticeably stronger in five years. “It truly deserves to be called the best magic sword.”
Ma Dong-pil filed the complaint.
“I’m telling you this sincerely, but I am not the First Sword of Magic.”
“why? “Because there is a religious leader?”
“no. “You are a person who has escaped such worldly evaluations to begin with, aren’t you?”
“… … “It leaves me speechless.”
Song Zhongbaek tilted his head.
“So, are you saying that there are other swordsmen in the Demonic Murim who are more skilled than you?”
“That’s right.”
“Who is that?”
“This is the old man with an iron sword.”
“Iron sword? “Iron Sword Mazon?”
“That’s right.”
Wei Hongryeon chuckled.
“To be exact, when it comes to kendo (劍道), our old school is definitely much deeper than that nobleman.”
“Huh.”
“But what… … “If we were to fight to the death, I don’t think Master could beat that person.”

Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.
“Yes, in a life-or-death situation as a demon, you can beat an iron sword, but if you’re talking about enlightenment as a swordsman, an iron sword is better.”
“To say that it is better may itself be an insult to Him. In my opinion, the enlightenment of the Iron Sword Elder is comparable to or better than that of the Sword King of Namgung in the past.”
“Huh! “You mean that much?”
“That’s the way I see it.”
Zheng Zhongbaek looked at Seo Liang.
“Is that really true?”
Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.
“It has to be similar. However, due to the nature of magic arts, it is bound to be more difficult to achieve reason than the magic arts of the righteous faction. If you think about it that way, if Iron Sword had trained in the martial arts of the Righteous Sect, he might have surpassed the level of the Sword King.”
“her!”
The Old Great Majon was the strongest Gossin that could be used in the new religion.
But no matter how much it was, it was truly amazing that a magician who had mastered magic learned the art of kendo, which could be considered the best in the world. It was a matter of raising one’s level or the power of martial arts.
“There are a lot of talented people in Shinkyo.”
Ma Dong-pil said with a smile.
“I also occasionally exchange sword arguments with the iron sword elder. I feel it every time that happens. “My shallow understanding does not even reach the feet of the elders.”
“That’s amazing. “I decided to stay for a few days, so I’d like to meet you sometime.”
“Elder Cheolgeom’s personality has become considerably softer. “If His Majesty King Taejang wants to see you, he will be happy to meet you.”
“Hehehe.”
Xiliang clapped his hands.
“Now, there was too much talk, including good food and alcohol. “Let’s all have a drink together.”
“It’s good.”
Ching!
Everyone toasted and passed their drinks.
“Puhuaak!”
“Cough!”
“Kekkeek!”
And more than half of them immediately started drinking.
Xu Liang frowned.
“What’s wrong with you? Strange?”
Zhong Zhenbaek looked down at his glass blankly.
“What on earth is this drink? Is this the first time in my life that I have ever drank alcohol that is so strong and smells so strange? “Words are scents, but isn’t this just a stinky smell?”
That wasn’t all.
Although Aenghwa struggled to swallow her drink, her complexion turned pale. Ma Dong-pil maintained a calm expression, but the corners of his eyes trembled, and Joo Seo-yoon blew away the scent floating in his mouth with an inner attack.
Yeo Kang-hwi completely froze on the spot, and Yeo Sang-rin was even retching on the pavilion railing.
Only Wei Hongryeon was looking at them with puzzled eyes.
“Why are you doing this? “It’s a bit harsh, but isn’t this okay?”
Seo-ryang’s face brightened.
“yes? “Not bad, right?”
“It’s not a good liquor, but it’s still better than the cheap white liquor sold on the market, right?”
“… … Damn bitch.”
“Why, why are you doing that?”
Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.
“Silpanga again.”
“You mean failure?”
“No, Master taught me the recipe for the Six Heavenly Heart Pill. “I’m sure I’m making it as he said, but strangely, it doesn’t taste that good.”
Song Zhongbaek’s eyes were bloodshot.
“Could it be that you were testing it on us?”
“Why is this like this? I served it to myself because it didn’t seem too bad to my taste. Do you know how much effort I put into making this drink? “You don’t understand people’s sincerity, it’s a shame.”
“It’s so honest, so bad, and the taste is so-so, so what’s the disappointment!”
“These noblemen? hey! it’s okay! Don’t drink it! “I don’t even know what alcohol tastes like!”
Seo-ryang huffed and put away the bottle.
Aenghwa spoke hurriedly.
“No, master. “It was delicious for me.”
“Wipe the drool off your chin and lie. “It’s flowing steadily.”
“yes? omg!”
Seoliang let out a sigh.
“Damn, it looks like it was made more delicately than before, but this is such a mess.”
It certainly seemed like the manufacturing method was difficult.
Although it was nothing compared to Cherry Blossoms, Seoryang also had enough skill to cook quite a few dishes. Because he was very dexterous and had good sensitivity, he could learn anything quickly.
But this damn six thousand heart wine didn’t taste like that at all. I don’t know if it even comes close to that taste, but somehow the result is completely different every time.
Seoliang was sad.
“Dongpil. “Go and bring me ten bottles of Master’s sake.”
“All right.”
After a while, ecstasy appeared on the faces of the group as they drank the alcohol that Lee Cheon-sang personally brewed.
“Kya! This is it. “This is alcohol.”
“oh my god… … “I never thought the dark cloudy sky would look this beautiful.”
“There is no separate Mureung Island. “The world looks different after just one drink.”
“Wow, I feel like this drink goes well with any kind of snack.”
“I’m in tears. “I was almost sick to my core.”
Xu Liang said bluntly.
“Is the difference that big?”
The group just drank alcohol without answering.
It wasn’t just a silent affirmation, I was completely preoccupied and couldn’t even hear it.
Seo-ryang shouted loudly.
“Oh, you damn things! Drink it all! “Just go and search everything!”

That night.
Everyone was drunk and they were spread out all over the pavilion.
The temperature was very nice, and the scenery was very beautiful. Moreover, since I was meeting close friends after a long time, I woke up and had a drink.
Even Zheng Zhongbaek was completely drunk and was sleeping, leaning against the pillar of the pavilion and snoring. He forcibly controlled his inner energy and made him drunk. I could see how comfortable he felt here.
In the end, there were three people who were fine.
“Hehe, really.”
Ho Yaoseong smiled with a dull face.
“Do these people even know? “What an honor it is to be drunk in the Demon God’s Palace.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“What is glory?”
“I think everyone was definitely excited. “I didn’t know you could get drunk this quickly.”
“I must have been excited, and I drank alcohol before I even got over my fatigue.”
“I can definitely feel that all of them like the leader.”
“What a shame.”
“Everyone had a good relationship. “Isn’t that right?”
“Haha, that’s right. Now that I think about it, I don’t think there’s any other relationship I’d look at negatively. “All the bad relationships have already died or been ruined.”
Ho Yaoseong quenched his appetite.
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
“Shall we move them all to their own residences?”
“Leave it alone. “It looks like he’s about to wake up and drink again.”
“Shall I really just leave it alone?”
“Didn’t you see these people drinking 6,000 ounces of liquor and their eyes popping out? “I bet I’m willing to drink it again.”
Xu Liang stood up.
“Are you guys going to drink more too?”
“uh? “Do you not eat it, sir?”
“Of course you eat it. Instead, I’m going to stop drinking with you guys.”
Ma Dong-pil asked cautiously.
“Do you have any other plans?”
“There’s no such thing as a promise.”
Xi Liang looked towards the northwest.
If you go ten miles northwest from this pavilion, you will come across a huge forest. And that forest was the most secret place of Shinto religion.
“I have a relationship that I haven’t seen in a while. “I think I really need to see it today.”
Xu Liang, carrying two bottles of Six Thousand Heart Juice on his belt, walked out trembling like a lily.
“Don’t run away from people because I’m not there, and if you want to drink more, keep drinking there. “I will drink in moderation and then come back.”
