Chapter 571 - there is a time for movement
When Yeon Jeok-ha and the others left the inn, Do-kyung Han quietly put down his spoon.
Howie and Yoo So-sam spoke in a calm tone.
“Did you hear? They seem to be arguing over where to go in Yangdo... … .”
Then another escort, the siren, spoke.
“No matter what I do, I will go south in the end. Everyone in Sumi-seong goes that way.”
“Hasn't there been a lot of talk about the northern road?”
“That is all nonsense. When I get to Yangdo, I will go south without further words.”
Dung Psychology basically did not believe the words of the jeokha.
Wouldn't he know if he was a disciple of Soyojong?
This is because the 'corridor of death' is literally hell for ordinary people.
“What do you think of your older brother?”
In response to Yoo So-sam’s question, Do-gyeong Han slowly stood up and asked again.
“Does our opinion matter? Will Yoo not follow him if he goes north?”
Yoo So-sam did not answer.
The death of the three princes is, in other words, the failure of escort.
The reason they went to see Joo Chun-bi was to blame Yeon Jeok-ha for it.
It was a different matter to pass through the 'corridor of death'.
“Han hyung, are you planning to follow your jeokha to the end?”
“We don’t even know where the stone sutras are. What if, by any chance, Yeonjeokha disappears without going to Fire Umbrella? Do you think you have something to say to Zhu Dahyeop and Zhang Hyunling?”
“Han older brother, do you think that the enemy ship can leak somewhere else?”
“How can you know what’s inside people? Since that could happen, didn't you put up with your dirty looks and follow me?”
The back psychologist, who had been listening silently, said a word.
“Still, it doesn’t seem like you are following the ‘corridor of death’. Of course, it is necessary to check the destination under the cumulative shipment until the end… … . Since the three princes are already dead, isn’t there anything we can risk our lives for?”
I mean don't push yourself too hard.
Han Do-gyeong looked at the back psychology with complicated eyes.
“I see what you mean. By the way If your sister-in-law suddenly disappears, will you be able to take care of the aftermath?”
“Hmm.”
A quiet voice flowed from the deungsim's mouth.
If Yeonjeokha disappears, the responsibility for the death of the three princes must be borne by the guards.
Considering Jang Hyun-ryeong's fiery personality, that was as terrible as the 'corridor of death'.
Han Do-gyeong passed Yoo So-sam and Deungsim-ri and said.
“Anyway, let’s go. I can't come all the way here and miss Yeonjeokha.”
Cheon Byeok Hyun.
assignment.
Around sundown, the man and woman approached the wall surrounding Yangyang.
They are Yeon Jeok-ha, Gong Ji-yu, and Jeong Deok-haeng.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was looking at the stone walls that only exist in large cities, asked Jeong Deok-haeng.
“Jeong hyung, didn’t you say that Yangdo is a village at the end of Chaoyang Fortress?”
“Yes, that's right.”
“By the way, what kind of wall is it? I think that one is bigger than Saneumhyeon?”
“It is because there is so much floating population. If you want to go to Sumiseong, you have to go through Yangdo.”
“Wow! I thought it was a small town on the outskirts, but are you kidding me?”
“A lot of officers come. By now, the officers should be in full swing slaying the beasts on the southern road. Because we used to subdue them in line with ‘Biseungwahae’.”
"I see. That’s why you don’t know if you just hear it.”
Yeonjeokha's gaze turned to the officer guarding the castle gate.
It's not because of any intention.
Perhaps it was because he had been a vigilante all winter long, his eyes immediately went to the guard at the gate.
Getting in and out of the castle wasn't difficult.
Officials only glanced at the faces of people passing by and let most of them pass.
Yeon Jeok-ha and his party also went to Yangdo, mingling with the people.
Yangyang inside the city walls was so large and splendid that Saneumhyeon could not be compared.
“Wow! tremendous. What outskirts town is this? I would believe it even if it was the place where the lord of the castle lives.”
"Iknow, right. It's much bigger than I thought, isn't it?"
Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-yu exclaimed as if they were rural people seeing the city for the first time.
Entering the downtown area, high-rise buildings were lined up on the left and right sides of the road.
“Gong Sojeo, I need to find an inn before it gets darker.”
"yes."
Fortunately, finding the guesthouse was not difficult.
It was said that there was a lot of floating population, and it was an inn that was scattered along the road.
Among them, I walked to the largest and cleanest looking place.
Daebunggaekjeom.
As soon as I unpacked my luggage at the dorm, I went down to the restaurant with Jeong Deok-haeng.
It was close to dinner time, so we had to hurry to get a good seat.
Fortunately, there was an empty seat by the window.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the guests rushed in like a tide.
Yeonjeokha said with a triumphant face.
“Jung hyung, did you see it? This is what is called ‘Dongseonsi’. To become a master of swordsmanship, you must know this Dongseonshi well.”
“What is Dongseonsi?”
Jeong Deok-haeng, a disciple of Hyeon Cheon-mun, showed interest in the word 'dongseonsi'.
“It means ‘there is a time for movement’. You have to act at the right time.”
“Oh, when… … .”
“When you hit, when you step back, look. As soon as we settled down, people rushed in. Speaking of swordsmanship, we hit the ball at the right time. Do you know that a good place like this can be given for free?”
Jeong Deok-haeng didn't know why he brought the logic of swordsmanship here, but he nodded his head.
After a while, Gong Ji-yu came down and joined them.
“Did you manage to get a good seat?”
“I was lucky.”
Jeong Deok-haeng glanced at Yeonjeok-ha.
He called himself 'Dongseonsi', and now he says he's lucky again.
At his back and forth words, Jeong Deok-haeng erased the teachings of ‘Dongseon Poetry’ from his mind.
I got a seat one step ahead of others, but the food didn't come out right away.
This is because guests flocked to it at the same time.
A man approached Yeonjeokha and his party while they were waiting for food to be served.
“There are no empty seats, so can we sit together?”
I turned my head to Gong Ji-yu, who was eating.
It doesn't matter if she's herself, but I was thinking of saying no if she was uncomfortable.
When Yeon Jeok-ha looked at him, Gong Ji-yu shook his head.
Don't you know if it's Juru?
Sitting together at a restaurant was a very natural thing, so there was no reason to object.
Only then did he speak on behalf of the rival party.
"Please."
"thank you."
As soon as she sat down next to the man, Deok Haeng Jeong, she briefly revealed who she was.
“I am Jin Yeom-baek, the leader of the top tier.”
Yeonjeokha slightly leaned his upper body towards Gong Jiyu.
It's because I don't know exactly what the head above means.
Gong Ji-yu, who was quick-witted, explained before he even asked.
“Each guild has an armed organization. The top is the captain, then the manager, and the last is the assistant manager. A foreman is a position in command of ten enlisted men.”
Yeonjeokha, who nodded, introduced the party to Jin Yeombaek.
“I am Yeonjeok, the master of the Seokgyeongjang, this is Hyeoncheonmun’s Gongsojeo, and that person is our porter and cook.”
Jin Yeom-baek looked at the three with strange eyes.
Seokgyeongjang, Hyeoncheonmun, porter and cook.
How did these three people from different backgrounds come to be together?
“Ah, you are the person of Seokgyeongjang and Hyeoncheonmun. There is only one thing that a military man from Suyakju comes to Yangdo, maybe two of you?”
Yeon Jeok-ha answered Jin Yeom-baek’s question.
"that's right. I’m on my way to participate in ‘Biseungwahae’.”
“Huh! My prediction was correct. This is an honor. I've been to Yangdo often, but this is the first time I've been sick with the participants of 'Biseunggwahae'. I wish you good results.”
“Yeah, what… … .”
He blurted out his words with a sullen face.
Participating in 'Biseungwahae' doesn't mean becoming a disciple of So-yojong, so what an honor.
“Would you like to go to Bul-U-San easily this time? Would this be a good sign?”
"yes?"
I didn't know what Yeonjeokha was talking about, so I blinked my eyes, and Jin Yeombaek spoke as if explaining.
“Our Choiseon, Geumwang, and Sinju companies are in charge of shipping items for ‘Biseunggwahae’. However, the masters of Soyojong came out to meet you because the date was running out. Thanks to them, it looks like we'll be heading north this time.”
Gong Ji-yu, who had been listening quietly, hurriedly interrupted.
“To the ‘corridor of death’?”
“Yes, the soyojong masters said they would escort me, so it's a golden opportunity. Thanks to this, even the merchants of Yangdo are in a very festive atmosphere. You didn't know the good news, it seems you've just arrived in Yangdo?”
“Yes, I arrived a little while ago.”
“Heaven seems to be helping. Three caravans are scheduled to depart tomorrow morning. It would be nice to see how the 'corridor of death' came about at this time. Ordinary people never go down that road in their entire lives.”
“I guess so.”
Gong Ji-yu let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, I believe in the inaction of Yeon Jeok-ha, but there is one thing in the world.
If he makes a mistake, he and Jeong Deok-haeng are certain to die.
Even though the plan made by Yeon Jeok-ha went awry, safety still came first.
Gong Ji-yu secretly examined the complexion of the Yeon jeokha.
just as expected!
Unlike Jeong Deok-haeng, who was ecstatic, it was a face that chewed shit.
'Yeon Daehyup, I'm sorry. This time, I am of the same opinion as Brother Jung.'
Meanwhile, the food came out.
When Jin Yeom-baek's, who had been seated late, was brought along, Yeon Jeok-ha called the clerk and stopped him.
“Small brother, hold on.”
"yes? Anything else you need?”
"We've been waiting since a while ago, and Jin-hyung joined us a little while ago. Why is the food served together?"
"yes?"
The clerk, unable to understand Yeonjeokha's words, tilted his head.
“The food of the person who came first should have come out first.”
Only then did the clerk, realizing his dissatisfaction, smile awkwardly.
“Ah, it looks like they prepared food together in the kitchen, thinking they were friends. Sorry for the long wait.”
The clerk bowed his head.
I pressed my fingers on both temples with my fingers, as if I was feeling frustrated.
Why is nothing going the way you think?
The order of food and the road to the north also run wild, purely out of unwillingness.
But you can't be angry with the clumsy clerk.
He motioned the clerk away.
When the atmosphere became a little strange, Jin Yeom-baek said with a puzzled face.
“This is because of me, the small association lost money for no reason. . I'm sorry.”
"are you okay. In life, there are people who benefit, and there are people who lose money.”
He tried hard to calm her mind.
However, Jin Yeom-baek wanted to pay it back somehow because it was caused by his own joint stone.
“It's okay to say it's a substitute, but I'll let you see the soyojong master from a distance. How is it?"
He thought that Yeon Jeok-ha would of course respond.
Then, if you are lucky, you may be able to make friends with a soyojong master.
"That's Okay. I do that because I have something to see.”
Yeombaek, who lost his resolute refusal, scratched his head.
Are you like that?
Even if it's not necessarily 'Biseunggwahae', it's a great help in life if you know the soyojong master. He offered to make the opportunity to do that, but he refused?
'Tsk! He's still a kid who hasn't grown up yet.'
Jin Yeom-baek decided not to care about him anymore.
Didn’t they say, ‘You can tell a promising tree just by looking at its cotyledons’?
Judging from the fact that he rejected his offer or just insulted the clerk with food, he is not a character.
He was the one who always liked to date people, but he didn't want to do that this time.
He ate the food and left without saying goodbye.
Gong Ji-yu hinted at Yeon Jeok-ha, who was chewing on food with a sullen face.
“Are you going with the upper house tomorrow morning?”
“I can do whatever I want. I've decided not to do anything called a plan from now on. Even if you work hard, nothing will come out the way it is.”
At his somewhat self-deprecating words, Gong Ji-yu smiled and said.
“The Yeondaehyeop doesn’t need a plan. You can do whatever you want, but do you really want to make a plan?”
Even if you don't, your ears are thin.
His protruding mouth went in, and his slightly crooked eyes softened.
“Let’s go with the upper ranks in the morning. Also, look at the disciples of So-yojong, who is also a member of the company.”
“Good idea.”
Gong Ji-yu thoroughly read Yeonjeokha.
At times like this, he's a very easy-going guy, but I don't know why it's so difficult to approach him.
