Chapter 456 - The strong know no shame
Southern directness.
Suhyeon Cheonhagang.
around noon.
Nine wagons, porters, and as many as thirty warriors appeared on the riverside.
On the blue background flag attached to the roof of the carriage, the word white flower was written in white.
This is the top of Baekhwasangbang on the way to Namjilgyeseong Fortress.
Baek San-wu, the sword of Sangwol, returned from looking at the river, and approached Baek Il-woong, the acting chief.
“I think we can just cross over because the days are dry.”
“Wouldn’t the porters’ feet get wet?”
“You can go over and have lunch and rest for a while. Since crossing the river is Hefei anyway, how about doing some maintenance at this point?”
"Hmm, it doesn't matter if I take a break, but I don't know if there's anything to fix."
I met the masked people in Bunam-hyeon, and the goods to be sent to the Namgung family were completely burned. So, there is no need to check separately in Hebi.
“Shouldn’t we prepare a gift of apology to send to the Namgung family?”
“That too.”
Baek Il-woong nodded his head.
Certainly, what was the point of just saying to Namgung’s family that ‘all the items I ordered were burned’?
“After crossing the river, I will rest until the end of Missy (3:00 p.m.), so please find a suitable seat.”
“Yes, I will.”
Baek San-wu returned to the lead.
Baek Il-woong, who was thinking hard about something, asked Baek Seon-hwa, who was by his side.
“What do you think? What gift would you like to give to Namgung’s family?”
“Nothing we own right now won’t catch the eye of the Namgung family.”
“I guess so. Still, I can't get over it barehanded. It's because we couldn't keep our promise."
“Well, there is nothing that will satisfy the entire Namgungse anyway. I don't know if it's one person."
"One?"
“Yes, I think there are things that at least one person will like.”
“To whom do you want to give what?”
“Among the goods going to Yingcheonbu (Nanjing), there are old books that flowed in from Xi’an, right? I think it would be suitable for a empress yeon, how do you like it?”
“After … … .”
“Since I don’t know what the Sword King or the Blue Cloud Sword likes, I thought it would be good to stare at it. After all, the person who actually runs the Namgung family is the empress yeon. I don't think there's anything wrong with showing her well."
“That sounds good too. I will arrive at Namgung Family House by tomorrow evening. Until then, make sure to pick up old books that might be of interest to Empress yeon.”
"yes."
Baek Il-woong looked at Baek Seon-hwa with a satisfied face.
She was not only a clerk, but also a great help in the operation of the corps.
Baek Il-woong's gaze suddenly turned to one side.
A small wagon was following at a reasonable distance from the upper cove.
It is the kite's carriage.
After hearing that I had a fight with my nephew a few days ago, I wish I hadn't seen it as much as possible, but somehow it seems to stand out more.
It's a bit nerve-wracking that it pops up all of a sudden when you forget it.
If he is like this, how would his nephew, who is the party involved, feel terrible?
“Hmm! That carriage is here again.”
Feeling uncomfortable, Baek Il-woong unknowingly said something.
The expression of Baek Seon-hwa, who belatedly found the carriage, was also not good.
She was already famous at the top for fighting between herself and the elders over harsh words.
It doesn't matter if you're a veteran or a wanderer, but you're different.
As a result, the face of the eldest daughter of the ark of the Baekhwa Sangbang and the secretary of the Sangbang Sangbang fell to the ground.
With the belief that it would be forgotten with time, I tried to live as nothing happened.
However, his efforts were in vain in an instant.
Now that the wagon has appeared, the people of the upper ranks will talk about the practitioner again.
Baek Seon-hwa looked at her little carriage with her confused eyes.
Negative emotions such as resentment, regret, and disgust rose like a wave and covered her entire body.
Her eyes widened as if she had been swept away by a real wave, and she suddenly choked her chin up to her breath.
"omg! omg! omg!"
When her breathing became rough, Baek Il-woong hurriedly comforted her.
“Seonhwa, don’t worry. take her breath slowly Slowly, yes!”
The light commotion caused the merchants around her to glance.
Still, Baek Il-woong was busy taking care of his nephew, who was dying right away.
Despite the light disturbance caused by Baekseonhwa, Baekhwa Sangbang continued to move.
After crossing the river that was kicked up to her knees, her upper body was busy drying her off and eating her meal.
Baek San-wu, who was in command of her advance, heard the news of her Baek Seon-hwa belatedly.
Moon Yeop-seong, who had been keeping an eye on her sister-in-law, secretly told her that ‘Scholar Baek couldn’t breathe and was in agony.’
Baeksanwu, filled with anger, drove his horse to the aft of the top.
He went looking for practitioners.
Yeonjeokha, who was leisurely eating dried rice with Yangil in the fire, raised his head.
Baek San-woo, the head of Joongyang University, was running like crazy.
Looking at his distorted expression, it doesn't seem like he's coming with good intentions.
After a while, Baek San-woo rose from the horse and fell in front of Yeonjeok-ha.
“Yeon Gongja!”
The air around them shuddered with a sound full of history.
Even the Murim people are in a situation where they are numb.
"yes?"
However, he looked up at Baek San-wu with innocent eyes, as if he were an idiot.
“It looks like he told you to keep your distance from our corps! How can you cling so tenaciously!”
“Oops! do you stick? It is because the destination is the same. When you get to Hefei, you won't be able to see it even if you want to.”
“What a disappointment. I still felt sorry for you on one side of my heart. But not this! What is the chief of the company doing in such a mess! Why are you so obsessed with our top ranks!”
“Cheuk, Baek Dahyeop, I’m just going to Hefei. Even Bai Daqiao knows that my destination is Hefei, right? It is not correct to say that it is a mess or an obsession.”
Baek San-wu's face became even more distorted.
Contrary to his serious self, the elder did not take dry weight out of his mouth even for a moment.
An action he couldn't do without ignoring himself.
In the end, Baek San-woo let go of the string of rationality he was holding on to.
“You bastard! Did Baekhwa Sangbang and I look so funny!”
Stepping closer to the jeokha, he raised his right hand as if about to strike it.
Yeonjeokha stared at him who was so excited, he said.
"what? Will you hit me?”
It's literally fanning the fire.
However, Baeksan couldn't bear to swing his fist.
A sigh flowed from Baek San-wu's mouth as his clenched fists trembled.
"ha! My nephew is having a hard time because of you. I'm sure you're doing it because you're left with sediment. How are you going to get me to leave around the top?”
Yeonjeokha looked at Baeksanwoo with strange eyes.
he is a peculiar person
He looks like he's going to push with brute force, but he holds it in.
Like Baek Seon-hwa, who makes a fuss by relying on his small back, but backs down at the decisive moment.
“What can I do for you?”
A mischievous smile appeared on Yeonjeokha's face.
I wanted to see the floor of the department store.
I think that's how you can decide the level of punishment.
I know that Baek Seon-hwa is self-centered, but she doesn't even step on it for that reason.
“Tell me what you want.”
“A thousand nyang?”
Baek San-woo's eyes, which were human for a moment, sharpened.
And he turned around coldly, as if he had ever wanted a conversation and a compromise.
"why? Too many? Shall I cut it?”
Baek San-wu answered without looking back.
"done. Now that I have seen your true self, I have nothing more to share.”
As he was about to leave, Yeonjeokha tenaciously bit him.
“Does your attitude change when you ask for money?”
"you're welcome. It changed because I knew who you were.”
Baek San-wu regarded Yeonjeok-ha as a snob.
They thought he was sticking to the department store and trying to extort money.
“Wow! uncle is scary I guess you were thinking about me from the beginning?"
Baek San-wu did not answer.
In fact, wanting to see the bottom of the opponent was not the only wish of Yeon Jeok-ha.
He was curious too.
He wondered what was inside the young man who thrust his face in to beat the Murim master.
If he had wanted an apology or something, he might have thought otherwise.
However, he asked for 1,000 nyang.
At that moment, Baek San-wu abandoned the pity he had for him.
“I am pathetic for thinking of you for a moment. From now on, I will respond in the way of Kang-ho, not the merchant, so know that.”
“Kangho’s way? Are you outright threatening?”
When asked if it was a threat, Baek San-wu turned around.
"It is the last warning. No more fumbling around the top. It's not even a matter of asking at least one of you.”
At Baek San-wu, who was staring at him with murderous eyes, Yeon Jeok-ha smiled and said,
“Yes, yes. I'm trying to get used to it. Even if I asked you to apologize anyway, you wouldn't have done it. I heard you asked to catch the pod from the beginning. isn't it?”
“… … .”
Baek San-woo did not make excuses.
The strong by nature know no shame.
Isn't it always the share of the weak in the checkup gangho?
“Only the strong can ask for an apology, and the weak have nothing but pity. Unfortunately, you missed your last chance to receive sympathy.”
He turned around after preaching the truth of his life to the thunderous naked practitioner.
I bit my tongue and suppressed his laughter.
And when he walked away, I grabbed his belly and rolled over to his feet, loving it.
“Kkeuk! oh that's crazy Only the strong can ask for an apology, and the weak have nothing but pity!”
Yang Il asked Yeon Jeok Ha, who was having fun imitating Baek San Woo's tone.
“Are you that good?”
“Should I laugh at a funny scene or cry?”
“Shit, you even got a warning, so why don’t you keep your distance in the evening?”
"why? Do you think he will come running with a knife?”
“Didn’t Baek Dae-hyeop say he would do it Kang-ho’s way? Sangbang is usually quiet, but once he turns his eyes away, he doesn't care.”
“I don’t mind fire and fire even in normal times.”
“Yes, he said.”
How disgusting is a person who gently scratches the nerves of a department store in the morning and evening.
“Confucius, I beg of you, please make sure that the sparks do not fly on me. People from upstairs roll their eyes so much that I can't digest it.”
“Mister, don’t you know the word HugHowei? Don’t just think about avoiding it, just enjoy it.”
“I am a bit scared. I can’t even kill a single fly.”
"The horse's butt As long as you hit me well.”
“Ah, what is the difference between beating and killing? By the way, Gongjnim.”
"yes?"
“Why does Confucius hate Baeksojeo so much? Compared to the other heirs of the upper world, he seems pretty nice.”
“It’s not that I hate it.”
“Isn’t it because you don’t like it? Then why do you follow the department stores and harass them?”
“You kicked me out for saying the right thing. I've seen a lot of things that are just as awesome as this. If the baeks are vicious, the upper house is already over.”
“Ah, you’ve seen this a lot.”
Yang Il realized that he and Yeon Jeok Ha lived in a different world. He must have seen a lot of bullying by clinging to the top like a leech.
that evening.
As usual, Yangil parked the wagon not far from the rear of the white shop.
Then he diligently lit the fire and hung the pot over it.
One after another, he shredded rice, dried mushrooms, and beef jerky, and simmered them.
It is so-called ‘mushroom jerky porridge’.
When the porridge of conversion was completed, Yang-il called out Yeonjeok-ha, who was stuck in the carriage.
It was after dark when the two of them filled their stomachs with mushroom jerky porridge.
When Yang-il fell asleep, the couple first sent him under the wagon to rest.
Maybe it was around the end of the hash (11pm)?
As the Yeonjeokha was reviving the flickering embers, the escorts quietly approached.
Finally, Baek San-wu moved in Kang-ho's way.
