Episode 788 Either live like a dog or die like a wolf. (3)
“Kya! “It tastes good!”
A base in the oral cavity.
Even before the sun had set over Seosan Mountain, the people gathered at the base were drinking heavily.
“I’m really offended by those ugly enemies!”
“That’s right! Damn it, those guys who were so stubborn can’t even see their noses sticking out! “Those who can’t even use their strength in front of Shaolin or shamans!”
“So Safazi! Why buy it for no reason?”
The drunken people shared their thoughts and shared a glass of joy.
Just because the toll that the enemies pay disappears, it does not mean that life will bloom immediately. But the joy of being able to at least keep all the money I earned and the relief of not having to meet a knife-wielding robber in the middle of that vast ocean-like river made me drink.
“Tsk. To put it conversely, doesn’t it mean that we haven’t done something that would have been done just once?”
“Hey, you man! They say that if you rescue a drowning person, they tell you to give them a bundle. That’s exactly what they’re saying about you. How ordinary people are these people! “The construction work is probably going to be over, so why did you come here to look for me even now?”
“Right! “That’s right too!”
It is true that at first, there were people who looked at the Gupailbang and Namgung family members who arrived at the Yangtze River following Hwasan with some disdain, but those views have almost disappeared now.
Whatever the reason, whether you came late or early, wouldn’t it be a good thing as long as you wipe out the enemies?
“Anyway, I hope we can drive out all the enemies like this.”
“Don’t expect too much. How can we drive out all the enemies from this wide Yangtze River? “Something that even a coffin can’t do.”
“Could it be that the government can’t do it? You’re not doing it! Aren’t they just sitting by and watching because they can’t be attacked even if they travel by boat? “If a high-ranking official is robbed by enemy forces, the enemy forces on the Yangtze River will be decimated, right?”
“Anyway, that’s too much to expect. “I wonder if they continue to reside in the Yangtze River.”
“That too remains to be seen. “I heard that some of the Huashan faction reside in the Yangtze River?”
“huh? “What does that mean?”
“I just heard that the Volcanic Sect people are sailing ships around the place where they cleared out the bandits. “A boat that goes to and from the other side of the river on a regular basis.”
“Isn’t that a common occurrence until now?”
“I don’t know. Wasn’t it a daily occurrence for ships that operated so regularly to be robbed by pirates? “Even boats that come and go irregularly can easily be robbed, so a boat that departs with a set time and route is no different from a prepared meal.”
“It was like that.”
“But what kind of courage would these enemy bastards have to mess with that volcanic wave? “It may be a long way from Gugang, but now we don’t have to worry about numbers when heading up to Gangnam!”
“Well, I guess so.”
“And in order to do that, the volcano people will probably stay in their positions for some time. “Then maybe we won’t have to look at the numbers in the Gugang area.”
“If only it were so!”
One by one, people began to grow hopeful.
If you no longer have to worry about being attacked by enemies, you will not only be able to make a little more money right away. As more money is released, extra money is created, and when extra money is created, offsetting becomes active.
People shared a drink cheerfully, dreaming of a day when the Yangtze River would be filled with people and luggage.
But in such a place, there is bound to be someone who beats the candle.
“I don’t know. “I wonder if it will turn out that well.”
“… … “What else is this person going to say?”
“If the enemy had disappeared in that way, would there have been any cases of enemy infestation in the Yangtze River?”
“Again, again… … .”
“Eighteen houses on the Yangtze River. This is Shinju oppa. I will never let you suffer like that. And maybe this is a bad thing for us.”
“why? “Why is it bad news when the enemy is wiped out?”
“Isn’t the reason we’ve been able to travel along the waterway by paying a reasonable amount of toll to those guys because they’re constantly trying to extort money from us?”
“We all know that.”
“But after something like this happens, those guys won’t think that they can spend their whole lives plundering the Yangtze River. So wouldn’t you try to grab all the money that’s right in front of you? Before the subjugation comes?”
“… … that… … .”
The person who was speaking shook his head.
“If you touch a snake clumsily, it will only become poisonous. If we get upset and withdraw, the anger of those outnumbered bastards will pour down on us. But will those noblemen really want to protect the Yangtze River to the end? Are you going to risk your life fighting with Surochae?”
“… … .”
Everyone closed their mouths.
I wanted to deny it, but there was definitely some truth to that statement.
“I don’t know if it’s just a scrape. “I hope not.”
“That’s unfortunate.”
“now! Stop and drink! drink!”
As the atmosphere calmed down, people got excited, raised their voices, and raised their glasses again. However, the anxiety that had already sunk in remained curled up in their hearts until the drinking party ended.

“Did you say the sink was empty?
“yes!”
A sigh flowed from the Dharmakaya’s mouth.
“What about tracking? “Is it possible to track it?”
“It’s not easy. Rather than fleeing to land like bandits, they took a boat and went out to the middle of the Yangtze River… … .”
“… … .”
“We need ships to attack those floating in the middle of the Yangtze River. But fighting with them… … .”
“It must be difficult.”
“I guess so.”
“I see. There’s nothing you can do about it. First, look at the empty sink again and inspect it.”
“Yes, Elder.”
The court’s eyes sank gravely.
I wasn’t in a position to show it, so I pretended to be calm on the outside, but inside I was quite nervous.
‘It’s difficult.’
If the enemy escapes by boat like they are doing now, Shaolin has no way to pursue them. As I said to my student a moment ago, engaging in a war with enemy forces that have gone to the center of the wide Yangtze River is bringing harm upon oneself.
Of course, if the goal is to destroy the enemy, even if it means taking damage, there is nothing that cannot be done. However, this fight is not a fierce battle where Surochae and Shaolin compete for each other’s fate. Isn’t the goal to achieve more results with less damage than other factions that went to the Yangtze River?

‘There is a higher chance that it will just stall and take time.’
The Yangtze River is wide.
Even if they don’t run away to the middle of the river, it would be a difficult task to sweep through this wide and long Yangtze River and eliminate the enemy. No matter how Shaolin, Shaman, Cheongseong, and Namgung gathered at the Yangtze River.
Fagye looked at the Yangtze River, lost in thought.
‘Right now, we are attacking with one mind and one intention, but if even one of the four sects feels sluggish and withdraws… … .’
If so, other factions might also feel the irritation.
‘No, it’s still a long way off.’
For now, it is right to concentrate on the task at hand.
Just one thing.
‘There is strangely little resistance.’
Anyway, the opponent is Yanggangsu-ro 18chae. At this point, Heukryongchae, the center of Surochae, can also be moved… … .
“I guess it’s just old age. Amitabha Buddha.”
The legal world shook its head.
It was a movement as if he was trying to shake off the doubts that were filling his mind.

Hangzhou.
Sangyucheondang Hayusohang (上有天堂 下有蘇杭).
Above the sky is heaven, and below the sky are Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Hangzhou, located along the West Lake, is one of the most beautiful cities in the entire Central Plains. Its outstanding scenery has inspired countless poets since ancient times.
However, Hangzhou is not just famous for its beautiful scenery.
A place where you can experience all the joys, luxuries, and pleasures in the world. The city that is best described as a night city is Hangzhou today.
The time reached 3 o’clock. Although not a single star could be found in the cloudy sky, the night in Hangzhou was brighter than the day. Lanterns and lanterns lit up here and there made the streets dazzlingly bright.
“now! We have amazing drinks and even more amazing snacks!”
“The best seats on the top floor are empty! “It’s a perfect place for heroes!”
“It’s full of rare foods airlifted from the West Station!”
The dazzling night streets were filled with the voices of drunk people walking around and clerks soliciting customers.
And among the night scenes of Hangzhou, this is the most notable place.
The Tallest Ten-story Pavilion in Hangzhou, Chuxiang Tower.
There, at the top floor window, a man was drinking alone. It was quite a strange sight.
The price of a place on the top floor of a restaurant alone is enough to cover the living expenses of an average family for several months, and even if you drink the same alcohol, you have to pay ten times more than if you drink it on the lower floor.
Nevertheless, there is always an empty seat on the top floor of Chwihyungru.
This place, which overlooks the streets of Hangzhou and West Lake through the open window, is itself a symbol of Hangzhou. This is because not only Hangzhou’s entertainers, but also the children of families who came to Hangzhou after hearing rumors, somehow try to leave behind memories of having visited the top floor of Chishuiru.
But today, there was strangely no one on the top floor of Chwihyungru.
No, there is only one person sitting on this spacious top floor. If someone I don’t know sees this scene, they won’t believe their eyes.
However, if someone you know sees this scene, they will nod their head as if it is natural, and if someone who knows better sees this scene, they will immediately turn and run away.
This is because the man who is enjoying himself alone in the best seat in Chwihyungru is none other than Jang Il-so, a defeated soldier.
“Hmm.”
Paegun quietly looked at the yellow liquor in the glass and muttered.
“Shaoxing Zhou.”
There are countless liquors sold under the name of Shaoxing wine all over the world.
However, the true Shaoxing liquor must be made from the water of Gan Lake in Zhejiang. In other words, you can only taste the real Shaoxing wine if you come to Zhejiang.
Moreover, the liquor that Paegun is currently tasting is Seolhyangju, which is considered a premium liquor among Shaoxing liquors. Among them, it was the top quality liquor that was sold only in this restaurant.
“Be intoxicated by the scent…” … .”
Paegun smiled brightly and quietly put the drink in his mouth.
indeed.
The fragrance is indescribably deep and exquisite. The moment you take a sip, you feel like your whole body is filled with fragrance.
“Feel so good.”
Of course, the liquor of Guangxi, where he is located, and the liquor of Guizhou are not inferior to the liquor of Zhejiang.
However, even if alcohol is of a similar level, its scent and feel are all different. It is impossible to rank which one is the best.
The world is wide and vast. And countless alcoholic beverages are produced in all parts of the vast world. Outstanding drinks, each with its own unique characteristics.
An ordinary person would die without tasting even one-tenth of the alcohol produced in all parts of the world.
“Me too.”
Saving Shaoxing Zhou was not a difficult task for him.
However, the true meaning of local famous liquor can be understood only when you go to the area and drink it while enjoying the taste.
Could it be that the liquor you drink in Guangxi and the liquor you drink here in Hangzhou are the same?
When I think about it like that, I feel bored, as if I’m trapped somewhere. How much land is there in this wide world where he can freely set his feet?
Paegun gulped down another glass of his favorite liquor and lightly rubbed the corner of his mouth with the tip of his index finger.
‘But there isn’t much left.’
I will put this world under my feet.
You will have more land under your feet than anyone else and drink more alcohol than anyone else.
“This is Jang Il-so.”
At that time, I started hearing pounding footsteps from downstairs.
“hmm.”
The loser slowly turns his gaze towards the stairs. Soon, a giant man completely covered in black clothing appeared.
“You little brat… … “How dare you tell me to come or go?”
“Welcome, Black Dragon King.”
Jang Il-so flashed a bright, triumphant smile.
