Congressman, Live Again - Episode 258
Episode 258
Han Yi-jeong's treatment was successful and a letter from the Admiral's Chief of Staff arrived..
Master was still reading the code text consisting of dots and lines, and then said:.
“The Admiral was very happy. Her granddaughter is healed so she deserves it.”
Jin Cheonhee narrowed his eyes..
“I still don't understand what the higher-ups think..”
“Hahaha, they won't understand us Kanghoin either..”
And modern people don't understand either..
But anyway, when you come to Rome, you have to follow the Roman laws. I just live my life wondering if that’s the case..
“It is said that he will receive a big award soon. Various silks, spices, medicinal herbs, etc. will come by cart..”
“I guess that's superficial..”
“okay. The hidden prize is that, first of all, some of the connections under the Admiral's office will move their business partners to Baekrin Uigak. The biggest thing is that they say they will hand over the vacant land near Baekrin Uigak headquarters. He will also provide convenience to the silver mine you discovered..”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widened..
“Wow, it's bigger than I thought.?”
“Because he is a person who uses it when it is useful. And there must be another ulterior motive behind giving such a big gift..”
At those words, a blue light briefly pooled in Jin Cheonhee’s retina and then passed by..
“……They want you to keep him as Han Yi-jeong's doctor..”
“okay. The Admiral is old and I cannot pinpoint exactly when, but he is probably retiring due to old age..”
“Han Yi-jeong, one of the six ministers, will take over after him. A competent attending physician is essential to avoid disruption in official duties..”
Master nodded and tilted his head diagonally..
Silver hair flowed like fog..
“Here, ‘competent’ has the same meaning as ‘reliable.’ Currently, the Baekrin Uigak, if we must express it as a faction, belongs to the Zhou Wangbu, and Zhou Wangya is called a military god. That disposition is far from conspiracy or scheming. And the representative pro-emperor faction..”
“Something's bothering me.”
The disciple sighed heavily..
“Clinicians only treat patients, but there are many things to consider in Uigakju. Hehehe.”
That's annoying.
Just treating the patient is daunting, but having to calculate all the stones around you is a challenge..
“I hope Master will take care of me for a thousand years and ten thousand years..”
“Hahaha, you look like you hate troublesome things..”
“of course.”
“Still, you have to learn. Because you will still live longer than me.”
…Is that really the case? Master is already on the verge of complete transformation..
‘You may climb the mountain in the future... … It has to exist.’
Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to imagine Master living out his life due to old age in the distant future..
“First of all, let's take advantage of the award we received from the Admiral..”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded at those words..
“Land and administrative convenience, I guess..”
“okay.”
Master laughed like a child playing a naughty prank..
‘You look so happy?’
I'm actually a little happy like this.
There is a long way to go anyway.
A little excitement along the way would be something to be thankful for..
The two priests shared their future plans as if they were putting together a puzzle..
* * *
Two months have passed since Han Yi-jeong’s treatment..
The money being made through Smoke City is starting to gradually become enormous..
Now, some people are even starting to wait a month to enter the smoke city..
The warriors waiting for a month gathered in small groups in the waiting room and started talking..
“We have to wait this long for the second store that has finally opened.?”
At those words, the other warriors sitting at the same table each opened their mouths..
“Don't even talk. It's already been a year and there's even a deserted person who refuses to come out..”
“Huh, Yeonmu City isn't cheap, but it's only for a year..”
“I heard that some obscure families who are making a decent amount of money, but who can't even dream of becoming a major clan, are sending their children in..”
“what… It's Seowon. I heard that if you want to get into a seowon that is advantageous for the civil service examination, that's the way to go..”
“I wish they would open the third branch as well, but I heard that they will open the third branch with some caution..”
3rd branch?
At those words, the warriors at the table next to us suddenly stopped passing their glasses..
As expected, the ears seem to go there..
“This is the third point. Please explain quickly..”
“Wow!”
As I cleared my throat without speaking, the oldest military officer quickly spoke..
“Jeomsoy! Here, give me just one bamboo leaf herb! Leave all the calculations to me!”
“yeah! How about bamboo leaf greens?!”
Bamboo-scented liquor fills the glass..
gol gol gol-
When the alcohol goes down my throat, only then can I speak fluently..
“Even though my brother-in-law is a member of Baekrin Uigak, there are rumors that the third branch is a special training ground for Baekrin Uigak warriors..”
“Huh! It's such a good thing just between them... … . No, it was Baekrin’s Pavilion from the beginning..”
Still, I'm jealous.
“Then, the soldiers belonging to Baekrin Uigak don’t have to stand in line like we do..”
“In the first place, the unmanned soldiers in the unit weren't on standby like us..”
“But it will be easier.”
I was also jealous.
“To pass the exam, you need to have high skills, but that doesn't mean you will pass.…….”
It was like that..
There is a separate meeting of military personnel to select military personnel belonging to Baekrin Uigak..
The interesting thing is that even if you win the match, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be there..
Each state or each state would compete while watching, and there were several cases where the winner was not accepted..
“They say they make decisions based on growth potential.……?”
When you join Baekrin Uigak, you will learn the martial arts of your organization, so it is natural to decide based on martial arts skills..
That was quite understandable..
a warrior said.
“There is a rumor that they are trying to distinguish between intruders from outside..”
“How can you tell ganja apart from just bimu??”
“The little habits that arise when holding a sword, the way internal energy is used, and the movement of tendons. They say you can tell if someone learned martial arts somewhere else by looking at things like that. That's not how I distinguish it.?”
Everyone shook their heads at those words..
“No, it is a correct theory in theory. How can you tell them apart from a short dance that only adds up to a few words? Is there a drone that can do that??”
“…….”
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed impossible to tell kanji apart from that..
another warrior said.
“And anyway, if you come in as a martial artist, you will be exhausted, so your martial arts history will inevitably be exposed. So I wonder if there is anything that needs to be done in such a detailed manner. Anyway, no idea.”
“Plus, they definitely receive less attacks than other sects. The businesses do not overlap.”
“Hey, it's not that easy to see. I heard that other factions are starting to keep in check..”
“Actually, there is a story that the number of hired warriors was 2,000... At this level, we have reached a level where we can compete with the great gate factions..”
“Still, only the number of people is right, but there are only a few people with outstanding abilities.…….”
gol gol gol-
“I already ate all of this. Jeomsoy, one more bottle of bamboo leaf syrup... No, give me two more bottles.!”
“yeah! I'll upload it right away! I'll add some more snacks too..”
“Hehehe, this guy, Jeomsoi, knows how to run a business..”
Ha ha ha ha ha.
The guests in the guest room burst into laughter..
“Please give me a bottle of bamboo leaf syrup too.!”
“This too!”
A man in black wearing a hat glanced at the sight..
“You seem to be in a good mood. Lord Sogyo?”
“Sogaju.”
The subordinate was so startled by those words that he slapped himself on the mouth..
Wherever you go, there are people who have fallen short, and even in the Demonic Cult, this rule does not change..
If I hadn't learned patience, I might have hit my head..
I found out about this guy's strengths and am making good use of them..
“There doesn't seem to be any poison.”
You can tell if any food is poisonous just by smelling it..
A formidable specialty that even the most secretive Yunnan Sanggongdog can recognize just by smell..
Thanks to this, Yeo Ha-ryun is able to turn a blind eye to even the minor mistakes of his subordinates and guide them around..
At that time, another subordinate asked Yeo Ha-ryun:.
He was a ferocious man whose entire body was covered with huge muscles and who had an ax the size of a man strapped to his back..
“Lord Soga, are you only going to ascend this time??”
‘‘Sanghaeng’ is another word for ‘mission.’.
Yeo Ha-ryun answered calmly..
“I heard a brother is passing by, so it would be nice to meet him..”
Here, ‘brothers’ meant demonic religions and other ‘small religious leaders’..
[Are you going to kill me??]
“…….”
Yeo Ha-ryun did not respond to those words..
It may not have been completely decided.
However, it is also true that in order to learn the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique, you must constantly hunt other small family owners who have eaten the Red Demon Blood Cluster..
slurp-
Yeo Ha-ryun, who was slowly swallowing the bamboo leaf greens, finally answered..
“We are the top, and shouldn’t we make a decision after watching what kind of transactions are being made?.”
Yeo Ha-ryun's subordinates nodded at those words..
Rather, Yeo Ha-ryun's gaze was directed at the warriors who were talking about the whereabouts of his older brother, Jin Cheon-hee..
Yeo Ha-ryun's eyes looked strangely happy, and none of his subordinates said anything more..
* * *
“It looks like they want to keep other factions in check as well, but it seems ambiguous as there are no areas where their interests overlap..”
Master responded to Jin Cheonhee’s words..
“Ah, but it looks like there are a few places that have started secretly making and selling sapphire, ondol, and soap. In the case of Cheongok and Ondol, it seems that the Gongson Daesang or Bota Daesang are blocking it on their own..”
“What about soap??”
“I guess they copied the scent somehow. The cleaning power seems to be non-existent..”
‘No, these guys... … If you're going to make a fake, make it right.!’
If you leave out the most important cleaning, isn't it really just a sachet?.
the master said.
“And, crucially, the unit price is cheaper than ours..”
“……There is no mourning.”
“Isn’t there only Sangdo in Gangho? There are no human lives. Hehehe.”
Jin Cheon-hee is sparring with the wooden people today as well..
It's not a one-sided match like before, but a proper sparring this time..
Instead, because she was in a desperate situation, not only was Jin Cheon-hee's ability significantly lowered this time, but.
This time, we have to temporarily block a few blood vessels and deal with the Mokin with limited internal power..
Thump, thud!
Every time the wooden people swung their swords, they immediately struck back Jin Cheon-hee's wooden spear..
As I was dealing with several woodmen at once, there were times when I had to give up my body to some attacks, but my body never shook from a single blow like before..
“The aftereffects of Geongon Geumganggong have deepened, and in the end, the sword energy has become invulnerable..”
It was like that..
The wooden spear wielded by Jin Cheon-hee was edgeless, but the weapons wielded by the wooden people were all properly edged..
Even blackness was mixed in there, so if it were an ordinary warrior, it wouldn't have even come together and it would have turned into finely ground cold meat..
On the other hand, even when the sword qi grazed Jin Cheon-hee's body, only her clothes were torn and there were no injuries..
“What will you learn after learning spearmanship??”
“I want to learn the Tao.”
Danggeum’s goal is to learn all weapons..
Even if you have a martial arts sword, the more you learn weapons, the better..
“You plan to dig many wells until the end..”
“Doesn't being able to use that weapon mean predicting how the opponent will attack??”
“……You will also be able to understand how wounds inflicted by those weapons occur and how to treat them..”
The teacher immediately realized what the disciple was thinking..
