Episode 139A ragtag group (3)
Noon the next day.
âUgh, itâs cold.â
Yunho rubbed his shoulders with his hands.
âIf you had called someone, they would have come out on time. Why are you so late?â
Dong-ho (å¬è±ª) scolded me.
âItâs not even half an hour since we arrived.â
âanyway! âIf you call me, you have to show up on time!â
âSniff, when Iâm in front of that person, I freeze and canât even open my mouth properly.â
âThis damn kid?â
âThatâs just it.â
âAnyway, why did you come? âAfter playing in the village, we will return to the headquarters.â
âItâs all because of the death penalty.â
âWhat me?!â
âHow do you know what kind of trouble the death penalty will cause? âThey are all here to monitor the execution.â
Yunho snorted.
âWhat are you going to do by spying on me? âI came here because I wanted to get some fresh air.â
âI will do both.â
âGiggles.â
âAnywayâ¦â
Dongho looked around.
âItâs more than I thought.â
Nearly fifty later exponents gathered at Pagungak Garden.
Most of them were mountain people from the Gudaemun sect. And they were the losers of a fight that was broken after being attacked by Yeon Ho-jeong at least twice.
Young masters who have not yet taken on leadership positions in the clan. Although they may not be the best reviewers produced by each school, they were at least enough experts to be considered top-notch.
Dongho frowned.
âItâs strange.â
âwhat?â
âMost of these people belong to our Huashan, Qingcheng, Ami, Jeomchang, Kunlun. As for the rest⦠well, Iâm not sure. âItâs the behavior of a ronin, though.â
âhowever?â
âIsnât it fascinating? âNot a single person from the six generations came?â
Yunho shook his head.
âIsnât it surprising at all?â
âwhy?â
âThat gentleman is the eldest son of the Yeon family. It is said to be part of the six generations. âIsnât it a loss of respect for members of the same Yuk family to join a military unit with a nobleman like that as the commander?â
âAhâ¦â
âWell, there might actually be someone Iâm friendly with. But the elders of the family would have stopped it, right?â
Dongho looked at Yunho with admiring eyes.
âHow do you know about the death penalty?â
âHey. âBut arenât I from a prestigious family?â
âYour brother-in-law was from the Yu family?â
ââ¦Not to the point of rubbing it there, but just putting some pressure on your head in a small area?â
âAs expected, you are someone who has learned about the world in advance. âMaybe itâs because Iâve lived in the mountains since I was young, so I donât really understand the struggles of the world.â
Yunho smiled bitterly.
âDonât bother trying to understand. âThe deeper you know, the dirtier and filthier it becomes.â
âHmm.â
Dongho scratched his head.
âBut the death penalty.â
âWhy again?â
âI didnât ask you until now on purposeâ¦â
âWhatâs taking you so long?â
âWhy on earth are you trying to join the Confucian military unit led by that person, Yeon Ho-jeong?â
Yunho licked his lips.
âThere are many reasons.â
âThe captain hasnât arrived yet, so please talk to me.â
âHmm.â
Yunho cleared his throat by clearing his throat and lifted his index finger.
âI have nothing to do at the first volcano.â
âThatâs an incredibly trivial reason.â
âsudden.â
âWhat about the second?â
Yunho even raised his middle finger.
âI want to experience the second powerhouse.â
âwhat? The death penalty has been passed down several times, right? âDidnât you participate in the fight against bandits before?â
âYou bastard, can you say that you have fully experienced the river by just descending the mountain a few times? âI want to see a wider world.â
âHey, what if the captain only goes around one area?â
ââ¦I havenât thought about it that far, but thereâs nothing I can do about it then.â
âAnd is there another reason?â
âthird.â
Yunho clenched his fist.
âYou can train freely.â
âyes?â
âNeither you nor I have any positions at the headquarters. So to speak, itâs almost like a reserve force, but you have to live according to the time without any need. âSometimes you have to stand guard at the gate.â
âWell, itâs an honor in its own way.â
âItâs an honor. But I want to do something bigger than that. âI want to go back and grow several times bigger than now.â
Yunho licked his lips.
âWell, you wonât be learning a new martial art, but wonât you have more time to persevere? âI have no doubt that this military experience will be of great help to my life.â
Donghoâs eyes sparkled.
âItâs a respectable death penalty.â
âWhat respect? In the end, I came in because I wanted to do things my way.â
âStill. âI donât have a goal as grand as the death penalty.â
âIâm sure itâs not just me.â
âyes?â
Yunho looked around.
A person standing leisurely and looking up at the clouds, a person sitting on a small rock and dozing off, a person sitting cross-legged and concentrating on something.
It was truly an incredibly diverse group.
âI guess they all came with similar thoughts. âThe situation will be similar.â
From Yunhoâs perspective, their martial arts skills were strong enough. He was at a level that could easily lead him to the top level in a strong league, and among them, there were people like him who had just entered the peak realm.
Itâs just that the standards of the so-called prestigious political factions are too high, but they were also quite talented people. Arenât the majority of martial arts people unable to reach their level even if they practice martial arts all their lives?
However, those gathered here will want more. Although he is not a postscript that can represent the Samun, his pride is as good as anyone elseâs.
Dongho sighed.
Yunho tilted his head.
âWhy are you sighing all of a sudden?â
âIâm just frustrated.â
âThereâs a lot to be frustrated about, young guy.â
âThere is only a two-year difference between me and my brother-in-law.â
ââ¦Tsk.â
A look of sadness appeared on Donghoâs face.
âI think they and we are all people who had high expectations from the monks.â
âyes.â
âIn the end, most of them came together because they were half-hearted.â
Yunho didnât answer.
He also agreed with Donghoâs opinion. However, I felt like I would become so miserable if I said those words out loud.
âThatâs the way the world isâ¦.â
In the end, I ended up just saying something that sounded like an old manâs complaint.
âPurrrrrrr Anyway, as my brother-in-law said, itâs getting colder.â
âThatâs right.â
âAh, when will the man who will be our leader arrive?â
It was then.
âomg!â
Someone took a breath.
âSurely, who is that person?â
âSoseongeom (å°ä»å) Okcheong!â
âShh! Hey, the distribution is higher than ours! âWatch your mouth!â
They looked at Jade Qing with passionate eyes.
Okcheong is the only disciple of Geomseon Takmuja, who was named in the Thirteenth Place of Seongcheon.
The name of Geomseon is known everywhere, but especially in the Gudaemun School, where martial arts of Taoist Buddhism are practiced, he was on the same level as Master Muheo of Gwonsin (æ³ç¥).
A being that the Baekdo martial arts community cannot help but praise. Okcheong was the only disciple of Geomseon and a genius among geniuses who was rumored to be born with the talent of a martial god.
âBut why is that personâ¦?â
âAre you sure you want to join Yuâs army?â
âOh, that canât be possible. âYou must be busy learning from Geomseon.â
âThatâs true too.â
ââ¦Hmm, do you have any ill feelings toward Yeon Ho-jeong?â
âHuh, I guess so.â
The rustling sound is very audible.
Okcheong looked around with an awkward expression and then headed to a corner. It was burdensome to get involved with someone I didnât know.
Anyway, the atmosphere got quite heated with Okcheongâs appearance. For them, he was not an easy person to talk to, but if he even became Geomseonâs disciple, it seemed like he would have some advantages even if he worked as a Confucian soldier.
Yunho, who was looking around, suddenly approached Okcheong.
âhello.â
âOh, hello.â
Yunho said with an embarrassed expression.
âI was grateful at that time.â
âWhen?â
âUm⦠after working with that practitionerâ¦â
âAh!â
Okcheong shook his head.
âNever mind. âIt was natural.â Seará´h the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âHaha, Iâm still thankful. By the wayâ¦â
Yunho asked quietly.
âIs Taoist Okcheong also joining the Yu army?â
âI donât know yet.â
âyes? âYou donât know yet?â
Okcheong said with an awkward expression.
âI just came here after hearing a rumor. Yeon Daehyeop, no, the Yeon Confucius did not look for me.â
ââ¦yes?â
âIâm just saying that I came here because I heard that a Yu army is being organized with a senior scholar as the leader. âI also heard on my way that the practitioner personally went and made a suggestion to his disciples.â
âAhâ¦â
Yunho tilted his head.
âWhy did that guy do that? âIf you are a martial artist of Okcheong Taoistâs level, it would be normal to visit him every month and ask for it.â
Okcheong quenched his appetite.
âIt could have been because my martial arts skills were so substandardâ¦.â
âYes? Hey, how can you say that? If Taoist Okcheongâs martial arts skills are below the level, we will have to go out and die.â
âno. âReally, my martial arts skills were nothing special.â
Yunho grinned.
âYou have great humility.â
Thatâs not humility.
Okcheong tried to explain the past situation but soon stopped. It was too long a story to explain, and it was awkward to talk to a stranger in the first place.
How much time has passed like that?
âhmm?â
âSomeone is coming.â
Everyoneâs eyes lit up.
Sabagsabag.
The sound of walking on the snowy ground tickled the listenerâs ears.
Eventually, a woman appeared.
âOhâ¦.â
âAh, youâre beautiful.â
âArcher?â
The person who came in as an outdoor sponsor was Mukbi.
She blushed slightly, as if she felt awkward when people looked at her.
Yunhoâs eyes lit up.
âIsnât that archer a friend of the practitioner?â
ââ¦.â
âMaster Jade Qing?â
âYes yes? âOh, did you call me?â
ââ¦Yeah. Oh, by the way, you know Taoist Okcheong too, right? âThat archer.â
âI know.â
Even if you know it, you know it too well.
Okcheong smoothed her thighs without realizing it.
âThe hit was concentrated here.â
Yeon Ho-jeong once in a while ordered Ok-cheong to remain silent and let Ok-cheong shoot an arrow.
It was a blunt arrow without a point, but every time it hit, I could barely suppress a terrifying scream from coming out of my throat. Mukbiâs arrows were so fast that it was difficult to dodge them with Okcheongâs reaction speed.
âIâve never had a conversation, but Iâm sure Mo Sojeâs martial arts skills are much better than mine.â
Iâm sure it will. The memory of the immense pain rising from her thighs filled Okcheong with fear.
ââ¦Ugh, stop imagining.â
That was when everyone was looking at Mukbi with eyes full of curiosity.
âWow, there were more people gathered than I expected?â
Everyone looked at the entrance to the sponsorship in surprise.
Yeonhojeong was there. The sight of him wearing the powerful Gwangryongbu on his shoulder blades looked quite pleasant.
âLetâs see⦠one, two, three, four⦠I guess itâs about fifty.â
All the scattered late-stage indexes straightened their postures.
In any case, he was the leader of this Yu army. Regardless of oneâs age or military skill, one had to have certain manners.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
âHave you packed all your luggage?â
ââ¦?â
What does this mean?
Yunho asked as representative.
âWhat do you mean, did you pack your bags?â
âhmm? âIs it literally?â
âYes?â
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
âDidnât you hear what I said? Iâm leaving today.â
