—————————————
My banquet has begun (3)
Ma Jeong-su was sitting with an expressionless face.
From the time he saw the empty safe until now, he hasn’t thrown a single vase to break it. For the first time, Ma Jeong-su felt that when people are really angry, they don’t even think about breaking something.
There were a total of four people, including him, in the room with heavy silence.
The other three were Shigon, Hwaseonnodae, and the mysterious woman.
There were blue bruises on Sigon’s face.
A wound that is more humiliating than having an arm cut off, so a person with strong self-esteem would have thought at least once that it would be better to die.
It was Ma Jeongsu who broke the heavy silence.
“Like an idiot, I can’t even take a bite.”
I was feeling sorry for the Shinryeonggu leaf plant. The reason I didn’t take it was because I wanted to use it to capture late-stage indices.
At this banquet, I planned to show the Cheonjo Sword, and at the next banquet, I planned to show the Shinryeonggu Leaf Cho.
They attempted to sway the hearts of the later leaders with objects and elixirs. Of course, I had no intention of giving them either the sword or the elixir. He tried to use it as bait and then take it himself… … .
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ma Jeongsu hit the desk repeatedly. In the end, the anger I had been suppressing until now exploded. At a time when elixirs were rare these days, he was so angry at the thought of losing the divine cypress that he felt like he couldn’t sleep.
Only the desk was smashed and suffered.
No one in the room could stop him. It was a situation where if that anger splashed on someone, someone could die.
Ma Jeong-su asked with a huff.
“Have you found out who did it yet?”
Hwaseonnodae spoke carefully while looking at Ma Jeongsu.
“Jeong Bang-ju is doing everything he can to find people.”
“Isn’t that what he did?”
The Hwaseonnodae shook his head and said.
“At least it’s not what he did. “Because you were with me when the incident occurred.”
Jeong Yeo was smart enough to stay with someone who could most definitely prove his whereabouts.
“I guess he ordered it as a subordinate.”
“As far as I know, there is no expert in Yangsobang who can knock out Shimuin with one blow. In fact, even Jeong Bangju wouldn’t have that kind of skill.”
When the expression “knocked down” was mentioned, the corner of Sigon’s eye twitched nervously.
Ma Jeongsu looked at the Hwaseonnodae and let out a nervous sigh.
“Then you’ll be the one.”
“No matter how angry you are, why do you say that?”
“fury? “Do I look angry now?”
Ma Jeongsu bared his teeth fiercely.
“Does this just make you look angry? I’m on the verge of going crazy right now. If we catch the stolen baby, we will torture it until it dies. “I will never kill you, but make you live in pain for the rest of your life.”
The Hwaseonnodae flinched as he blatantly radiated murder. Because I knew that those words were sincere, I was naturally afraid. Even if I didn’t know anything else, I was able to understand Ma Jeong-soo’s mind reading.
Majeongsu’s artillery was aimed at Sigon this time.
“Are you even mute?”
Shigon hadn’t said a word since entering this room.
Finally, he opened his mouth in a dry voice.
“sorry.”
The atmosphere calmed down even more as his voice filled with lamentation.
The Hwaseonnodae quietly joined the offensive.
“I don’t think any of the people we’ve met are skilled enough to make you like this. “Isn’t that right?”
Shigon squirmed again at those words. He sounded as if he doubted himself.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not saying this because I doubt you.”
“But why are you saying that?”
“Like that?”
This time, the Hwaseonnodae stirred. A tense fight ensued between the two.
Ma Jeong-su’s expression became even more distorted.
What made him even more angry was the woman between them.
I would hate each other less if we just started to doubt each other like that and fight. Because I could have cursed these idiots.
But the woman just watched with her arms crossed, as if she was watching the fire across the river. She was always like this. It seems like he just wants to watch what you do. Like a supervisor watching over children taking a test. Really, just my father.
If it were you, I would have kicked you in the face.
Ma Jeong-su shouted.
“Shut up!”
With his words, the tense battle between Shigon and the Hwaseonnodae ended.
Ma Jeong-su spoke to the two people.
“Are you the only suspicious people in this room?”
The eyes of Hwaseonnodae and Ma Jeongsu naturally turned towards the woman.
Even though she was accused of being a murderer, the woman showed no reaction.
Usually, if you stay calm when you should be panicking, it will only arouse suspicion.
But she was so calm that she even got past that stage. She seemed like she had no interest at all.
At that time, Sigon blurted out.
“She is not.”
The Hwaseonnodae asked about his confidence.
“How can you be sure?”
“The other person was not a woman.”

“You said you didn’t even see my face? “If it’s because your pride is hurt, you shouldn’t do that.”
Sigon wriggled again. Every word of Hwaseonnodae was getting on his nerves. He didn’t fit in from the beginning. He himself was unmanned. However, Hwaseonnodae was not a military man, but a charlatan bent on power.
The Hwaseonnodae raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.
“I’m not trying to scratch your pride, I’m just saying that’s the way things are.”
“It was definitely not a woman.”
After emphasizing it once again, the Hwaseonnode retreated.
“If you are.”
Si-gon said while looking at Ma Jeong-su.
“It’s not because I suffered… … “The opponent is really strong.”
It was a feeling that only those who had been hit knew. It wasn’t a matter of the power contained in the fist.
If he had tried to kill himself, he wouldn’t have thought so highly of his opponent.
The other person wasn’t trying to kill him. I was just trying to knock him out. In that situation, it is more difficult than killing. Because I had to control the force accurately. If the other person had tried to kill him, he would have died then.
Ma Jeongsu tilted his head with an expression of incomprehension.
“Why is someone so strong stealing? “Because you have some kind of enmity with me!”
It was the Hwaseonnodae that answered.
“Aren’t you aiming for the Cheonjo Sword?”
“Isn’t it something you can’t sell even if you steal it? Even if it’s a black poem, I don’t think he’s bold enough to dare trade the sword of the Murim Lord.”
“Well, he is like that too.”
The Hwaseonnode, who was nodding his head, suddenly remembered something.
“if?”
He spoke cautiously, moistening his dry lips with his tongue.
“Couldn’t it have been a trick on the part of the other successors?”
At that moment, Ma Jeong-su suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Right!”
That was all I could think of.
It didn’t seem like Yang Xiaobang would have dared target him. These are people who could use themselves to gain greater profits, but there’s no way they were just aiming for the money in the treasury, right? Even if you take the sword, you will clearly see that you won’t be able to use it.
“Okay, why didn’t I think of that?”
This time, my father sent many of his children to various regions. You are taking some kind of test.
In this situation, what if he was someone who could mobilize enough skill to knock Shigon down with one blow?
Among the brothers, there were more than one who could do that. In particular, those at the center of the succession battle all had great experts.
“You bastards!”
Ma Jeongsu gritted his teeth.
The Hwaseonnodae spoke calmly.
“First of all, I need to calm my anger and resolve this matter. “I don’t know who did it, but if you lose your temper, you will end up playing into his intentions.”
Ma Jeongsu nodded and sat down. After he calmed down his excitement, the Hwaseonnodae calmly added,
“Even though we lost the sword and the money, we are still alive. “You just have to save the money, and the sword will be found someday.”
“What you said is correct.”
“First of all, we need to find money. “Because construction will be disrupted immediately.”
“How much money do we need?”
“To start construction, you need to have 10,000 nyang right away, and 100,000 nyang later.”
“shit!”
In a situation where I didn’t have a single penny, 10,000 nyang was not a small amount of money.
Ma Jeongsu showed his angry teeth like a beast.
“Please come up with a way to get the money.”
* * *
I bought a new cotton ball.
Since I was going to use it once and then throw it away, I bought a mid-level cotton ball this time. Even his voice and gait changed as if he were a new person.
So, fully prepared, I visited Heuksi again.
The old man who sold the elixir before greeted me again.
I plan to use up 50,000 high-value vouchers to buy elixirs and use them all up.
Finding a way to somehow exchange these high-value notes is a risky business. Even if it means some loss, it would be a wise choice to dispose of it right away. If you don’t save it, it won’t just turn into shit, it can end up being covered in shit.
“You came to buy an elixir?”
“exactly.”
Because I cared, you would never be able to tell from the way they spoke or acted that it was someone from before. Even if I knew, last time I also hid my face and voice, so it wasn’t much of a problem.
“Do you have an elixir?”
“There is, but there is no high-quality elixir.”
“Then what do you have?”
“The elixir we have now has six roots of vitality white tiger. “It is known that if Kang Ho-in takes it, it will give him two to three years of longevity.”
“how much?”
“That’s nine thousand cats in one root.”
If you sprinkle six, it’s 54,000 nyang.
“It’s quite expensive.”
“Because it is a time when elixirs are rare.”
I acquired 15 years of endurance from the thousand-year green onion candle I bought for 44,000 nyang.
If you spray six vitality Baekshiho, you will have eighteen years of endurance, assuming you absorb all the internal power with the Cheonmu Tiger’s Heart Gyeol.
You may think it is more expensive because you can gain more strength, but the problem is that if you take the same elixir in succession, its effectiveness decreases.
If this is to be effective, it must be taken after approximately several months to a year or more, depending on the mind and qualifications of the person taking it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time or space to do that.
In the end, if you take it all at once, you will only gain about ten years of endurance, not eighteen years. If you think about it that way, it is a very expensive price.
However, it was not a wise choice to buy items such as swords or protective gear with this voucher. Because the evidence clearly remains. It’s best to just eat it and get rid of it.
“I will buy all six roots, so give them to me for 50,000 nyang.”
Originally it was 54,000 nyang. This was a request that was not easy to accept as the product was sold under a strict fixed price system.
The old man thought for a moment and nodded.
“Good, I have to sell the elixir when I meet the owner.”
The old man showed his unchanging theory of elixirs.
So, I paid 50,000 nyang and bought six roots of Hyeonggi Baeksiho.
This 50,000 nyang could be tracked down.
However, Heuksi itself is a very large and well-established organization, so it would not be easy for even Cheondomun to find out Heuksi’s customer information. Of course, if the Murim League decides to do so, they will be able to find out.
And if we find out, it will be the extent of Infimyeongu’s obsession with impressions. An experienced old man would probably notice that I was wearing a bast mask, but he wouldn’t say that to those who put pressure on him.
After leaving Heuksi, I rented a room at a nearby guesthouse and went in.
He proudly showed his face. This face was going to disappear forever anyway.
I immediately took a root of vitality Baeksiho in the guest room.
I got three years of history from the first vitality Baekshiho.
The second time too, I got three years of history. The excellence of Cheonmu’s bravery led to luck.
And in the third Hyeonggi Baekshiho, I gained two years of experience.
I stopped taking it. From then on, you will only get two or one year of history.
From now on, it will be a loss if you take it.
Anyway, with the Three Roots of Vitality Baeksiho, I added another eight years of inner strength.
Now, Danjeon has been practicing for fifty-two years. There are only eight years of inner strength left until the end of the day.
Now, I have less than a year left to train and make Ilgaja. Around this time next year, ceremonial herbal food will be available.
I took the remaining three roots and left the guesthouse.
I’m thinking of giving this to Gwangdu. Of course, I have to give it to my father and mother, but there is no way to secretly take it.
It was difficult to explain where it came from, and the bigger problem was this.
If I tell you never to tell anyone, you might ask why. How could you not feel anxious if your child was given an elixir and told not to tell anyone else? It would be a big problem if even one secret were to leak out.
I’m sorry, but I think I will have to show my filial piety to the two of you in a different way once I become more established.
Sorry, you two.
All you have to do is tell Gwangdoo to take it as an absolute secret. Because you will eat it without even knowing what you ate. One person with a secret is better than three.
What now needed to be dealt with was the Cheonjo Sword.
I know several famous swordsmiths in the central plains. They were truly worthy of being called masters.
But most of them are far away, so I can’t afford to go see them.
Moreover, this sword is the sword of the lord. If the craftsman is loyal to the request to keep the secret, his life will be in danger, and if he is not loyal, it will be revealed how the sword was modified.
So I don’t know if it will work out well, but I’m going to try modifying it with my own hands.
I went straight to a nearby iron room.
