Episode 904 Welcome back, Hwasan Swordsman Association. (4)
For the first time in a long time, many people gathered at the long gate of the volcano.
Not only the Hwasan people, but even Dang Gun-ak and Lim So-byeong, who came yesterday, sat across from Jang Mun-in.
“first… … .”
Hyeonjong cleared his throat slightly and continued speaking.
“We would like to express our deepest apologies to the two people who worked hard while the volcano was away. “And I think I should also apologize to the two of you for not being able to fulfill my role as the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance.”
“You don’t have to say things like that, Lord.”
Tang Gunak shook his head.
“Who doesn’t know that just because the volcano is away doesn’t mean we can live comfortably? “We just had different things to do.”
“Matriarch… … .”
In the midst of the warm words of gratitude, a slightly crooked voice intervened.
“Well, of course it was a bit difficult.”
“… … .”
Lim So-byeong was looking at Hyeonjong with a bright smile without a spot.
“We are shaken by the scammers who don’t know when they will come from the other side, and we look at the old factions who visit the Yangtze River area for no reason and just roll their eyes, and we try to please the merchants who talk about how expensive the toll is. , I lived a hard life, even taking the money I had saved so hard and giving it to the people… … !”
“… … .”
“Of course, Hwasan, who only trained behind the scenes, must have had a hard time. yes! What could be more difficult to do? Ha ha ha ha ha.”
“no. But that human!”
When Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes and tried to get up, Baekcheon pressed his shoulder.
“Be patient, Cheongmyeong. “It’s just the beginning, but if you do that, I won’t be able to do anything today.”
Then Cheongmyeong, who made a groaning noise, turned his head and asked Hyeonyoung.
“Is there anything wrong with the ledger? Is there anything I missed? Did you eat some saury? Maybe there is? Are you going to be there? “Is it supposed to be there?”
It was a statement that momentarily caused confusion as to whether it was better to have embezzlement or not.
And unfortunately, Hyeonyoung’s answer was different from what Cheongmyeong wanted.
“It was clean.”
“clean?”
“Yeah, clean.”
Hyeonyoung shook her head and emphasized.
“There is no mistake about a coin.”
“really?”
“I compared everything. “This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a perfect ledger.”
When Hyeonyoung looked back with an admiring face, Lim So-byeong spread out his fan and smiled triumphantly.
“Haha. “I am also happy that I was able to satisfy the elder.”
But then.
“I knew it! “That bandit!”
Cheongmyeong rushed at Lim So-byeong and grabbed him by the collar.
“Keeek!”
Lim So-byeong, who was suddenly grabbed by the collar, opened his eyes as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Oh, no! How many years have you been deaf? They say it’s clean and perfect! perfect! “Don’t you know it’s perfect?”
“okay. You know, perfect! So you’re not doing it like this!”
“yes?”
When Lim So-byeong looked at him asking what he was talking about, Cheong-myeong shouted in anger.
“A bandit bastard wrote a ledger, does that mean there are no mistakes in it? “Who do you think this is?”
“… … .”
Lim So-byeong’s mouth opened wide.
“Spit it out, you bastard! What a waste! They must have scraped everything they saw and stole it in a very cruel manner! Spit it out! “Why don’t you spit it out right now?”
Cheongmyeong shook Lim So-byeong’s head. Lim So-byeong’s neatly combed hair was thrown back and soon became a mess.
“Che, Cheongmyeong. He… … .”
“I know! This guy is a thief! Don’t worry, Jang Moon-in! “I will steal every single coin this bastard has hidden inside and retrieve them!”
“Oh, no. Green Forest King… … .”
“You bastard, you won’t confess even if you do this, right? Do you want to sleep? uh?”
Tears welled up in Lim So-byeong’s eyes.
It was obvious that they suspected thieves were running a business, so many people stayed up all night to make sure no information was accidentally omitted, but what was all that time for?
“catch!”
“yep!”
As soon as Hyeonjong’s command was given, the five swords that were waiting rushed in and took Cheongmyeong away from Lim So-byeong. Cheongmyeong kicked the air while being dragged.
“no! Let go! “Everyone is being deceived now!”
“They say the ledger is accurate!”
“Where is this thief’s bastard from?”
“… … .”
Ah, that was why.
Then let’s talk.
Baekcheon, who almost let go of his hold on Cheongmyeong, flinched at the last moment and regained his senses. Then he grabbed Cheongmyeong tightly again and dragged him backwards.
“… … “I’m sorry, Green Forest King.”
“… … .”
“Are you okay?”
“… … it’s okay.”
The area around his eyes seemed to be moist, but neither King Hyeonjong nor Tang Gunak bothered to point out that fact and just moved on.

“anyway… … .”
Okay.
Lim So-byeong spread out his fan. It’s just a pity that the fan, which was normally a symbol of confidence, is now being used to cover the face.
“As you can see by looking at the ledger, Maehwa Island is making a lot of money. “Every merchant who has confirmed that Maehwado Island guarantees safety is trying to cross the Yangtze River through Maehwado Island, so they are running out of boats.”
“Oh my! These guys stole the money to buy a boat… … . Eup! town!”
“… … .”
Lim So-byeong looked back at Cheongmyeong with worldly emptiness. At that time, Hyeonjong said.
“The Green Forest King.”
“Yes, it’s a long story… … .”
“Let’s just not worry about it.”
“… … yes.”
Lim So-byeong cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“As the Huashan Sword Association said, it is a problem that can be solved by increasing the number of ships, but in fact, in the end, the benefit is gained by blocking the Yangtze River, so the situation on Maehwado Island can change rapidly at any time depending on the situation on the Yangtze River.”
“Uhm. That’s correct. “Actually, I didn’t think that that ditch was still blocking the Yangtze River.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in. Therefore, if you increase your size without thinking, you may incur losses. “For now, it seems better to maintain the status quo.”
“You really put in a lot of hard work.”
“you’re welcome.”
Lim So-byeong smiled.
“Shouldn’t we, Green Forest, also play our role as proud members of the Cheonwoo Alliance? Hahahaha.”
“But that Sapa guy is sticking his spoon out somewhere again! I think I’ll see it before the dirt gets into my eyes… … . Ugh! Ugh!”
This time, even Tang Kunak came forward and silenced Qingming.
“Be quiet, be quiet!”
“Please shut your mouth.”
“If you speak one more time, I will stab you in the forehead, death penalty!”
Hyeonjong held his face and apologized to Lim So-byeong once again.
“… … I’m sorry.”
“They say the life of a bandit is worse than that of a dog.”
“Aren’t you a slave?”
“… … A slave or a bandit.”
different. A lot of that too.
However, King Hyeonjong comforted Lim So-byeong, who was suffering from the shackles of social status.
If Noklim had lived honestly for the past three years as Lim So-byeong said, the world’s perception of them would have changed a lot. Even if the perspective has not changed much, one would agree that volcanoes can suppress melting.
Therefore, as Lim So-byeong said, it may be necessary to confirm the location of Nokrim, which is unofficially allied with Cheonwoo-maeng.
‘Before a real problem arises with the Sapaeryun.’
Hyeonjong nodded quietly, and this time his eyes turned to Tanggunak.
“The head of the family has also gone through a lot of hardship.”
“There is no need for trouble.”
Tanggunak shook his head.
“There is nothing really serious about the unrest taking place on the Yangtze River. “If there was a problem, it would be that a party with a small number of people had to coordinate in an area that was too large.”
Cheongmyeong took Baekcheon’s hand away from his mouth and grumbled.
“Then it’s okay if we just use those idle bandits, right?”
“… … In reality, it wasn’t easy. “Who would welcome bandits coming down to capture the Sapa bastards?”
“Anyway, those bandits are no help.”
When Lim So-byeong was wondering why he had come this far from the Yangtze River, Tang Gun-ak continued.
“But thanks to this, the public sentiment in the Yangtze River region clearly turned towards Chun Yu-maeng.”
Hyeonjong nodded his head loudly.
He is also a person who knows how scary public sentiment is. Wasn’t it because there were a small number of people who were willing to support Hwasan that Hwasan was able to endure until the end even in such difficult circumstances before the advent of Cheongmyeong?
“But now we have reached our limit, Lord.”
“Hmm.”
“Right now, we can do anything because the Association is silent, but as the Association gets closer, the problem will definitely increase. “We need support at the Cheonwoomaeng level.”
Although they are called Cheonwoo Maeng, the only Cheonwoo Maengs in the Central Plains are Hwasan and Tangga.
This was no different from Tanggunak officially requesting support from Hwasan.
“surely… … “If you have stayed in Yangtze for the past three years, it would be impossible for your family to be in Sacheon.”
“It’s a shame, but it is.”
“I understand, matriarch. Our volcano as soon as possible… … .”
“What are you doing?”
“huh?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Cheongmyeong.
Baekcheon, who was holding Cheongmyeong, slowly withdrew his hand. Now I can tell in advance, to some degree, when this guy is talking nonsense and when he is saying something correct.
“Let’s just leave it alone and get out, right?”
Baekcheon’s hand quietly grabbed Cheongmyeong’s shoulder again.
Should I subdue it?
“… … “Did you try to take her foot off?”
“yes.”
“On the Yangtze River?”
“yes.”
Tanggunak frowns as he looks at Cheongmyeong speaking calmly.
“I know you’re not the type of person to speak without thinking, but I just don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Baekcheon widened his eyes in shock.
Hey, matriarch… … ? You seem to be misunderstanding something. You can search all over the world for a person who speaks more thoughtlessly than this bastard.
“During the past time, the party has been protecting the civilians, of course, because it was their natural duty, but it was also to create a favorable public opinion toward Chun Woo-maeng. But if you step away from this, wouldn’t it all be useless?”
“No, I’ve done something for you so far, so if you criticize me for taking a break, is that human? “It’s an animal, right?”
“… … .”
“You should be grateful when people help you! “I saved a drowning person and they didn’t even tell me to hand over the bundle!”
“that… … “It’s not wrong, but that’s not how things work in the world, right?”
“What you say is correct, why do we protect it? “It was originally a place that the shamans and the Namgungs were supposed to protect.”
“Didn’t they ask for help…?” … .”
“What, is Bongmun a government post? “If I do the funeral, I don’t have to do anything?”
“… … “That’s not what a volcano would say.”
Baekcheon quickly nodded.
okay. That’s not what we’re talking about, is it? huh?
But Cheongmyeong snorted bitterly.
“Then you can continue.”
“huh?”
“Are you asking me to provide assistance to the volcano now?”
“Okay… … ji?”
Tang Gunak’s face showed anxiety.
And indeed… … Cheongmyeong was Cheongmyeong.
“Even if there is a knife to my neck, I have no reason to go to the Yangtze River and fight instead of the shamans, so either you leave the Tang family, or you can keep doing that there!”
“… … .”
“Why are we doing what those rotten old school bastards had to do in the first place!”
“Still, the Gu Sect and the Cheonwoo Alliance are like an alliance, even though it’s not official… … .”
“Dongmaeaeaeaeang?”
Finally, Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes.
Tanggunak closed his eyes tightly without realizing it as he saw those excited eyes.
“I’d rather stick with the old faction than form an alliance with the bastards from the old faction! “f*ck Shaolin and shamans!”
“haha. Then, while we were talking, Nokrim and… … .”
“You spit out the money you ate!”
“no! “I didn’t eat it!”
The struggling Cheongmyeong, the protesting Lim So-byeong, and the agonizing Tanggunak.
In front of a scene of hell-like chaos, King Hyeonjong smiled happily.
‘Yes, this is what it felt like.’
ah… … . I just want to go back to Cheopcheop Mountain.
please… … .
