Chapter 24

Episode 24 What will happen will happen.

There was plenty of time before he was officially appointed to Hwangcheongakju. In the meantime, I decided to take care of one thing..

I plan to give the best treatment to the new members of Gwiyeongdae who will come in the future. Loyalty is not about squeezing youth under the guise of faking it, but rewarding them with a monthly salary commensurate with their abilities..

Whether you waste your money on a spending spree or prepare for retirement by buying land or a house because you don't know when you'll die, you just don't have to gamble..

This required a huge amount of money, and by this time I knew how to make a lot of money..

After leaving a note with Ian saying that I would come back for a moment to get some fresh air, I secretly left the church..

My life was a life with regression in mind.

I spent most of my time busy and hard looking for Dafa materials, but even then, I made sure to remember what I needed to remember. I know exactly when and where the events that have taken place in Moorim over the decades have occurred that I can utilize..

The place where the incident took place this time was a village near Wuyishan, Fujian Province. An event occurs there that I must never miss..

In order to practice, I ran to the place at a fast pace using the Poongsin Sabo. I was just beginning to walk, but the more I ran, the more I fell in love with its profundity..

When I rested, I looked at the distant plains and lost myself in old thoughts, and when the wind from the horizon blew sand and dust, I got up and ran again..

Depending on the day the incident occurred, I ran excitedly one day and ran slowly another day..

So I ran and ran and arrived at the village at the bottom of Wuyishan Mountain..

There is a story I heard from an old ronin when I was wandering around as a ronin..

It is said that he once ran a Ronin office and collected commissions. The incident that occurred back then, the incident that begins with a sigh of 'It was a terrible thing' when he is drunk, happens here today..

I asked a business person to find out where the Ronin office was..

There was a place where the old people gathered in an old building at the end of the street..

When I entered, there were about a dozen Ronin sitting in a suffocatingly narrow space. Some people were dozing off while leaning against the wall, while others were polishing their weapons or chatting in groups. A few eyes focused on me, but then dispersed, unable to find anything of interest..

I walked over to a middle-aged man who was sitting at a desk in the corner and writing something..

When I saw him, my heart sank. He was Lim Chu (林秋) who told us about today's events during his time as a ronin..

“I have a job.?”

Imchu raised his head at my question..

“Is this your first time seeing this face? Who did you recommend??”

“Brother Seogwang told me to go..”

“What kind of sign is Seo Muin-gwa??”

“We've worked together before..”

“what happened?”

“I helped my brother with his work at Heongsan Mountain..”

“It was a commotion incident.?”

“No, it was the Namak faction..”

Even though I knew it, I could tell that I had asked the wrong question. Since it was a place where all kinds of people gathered, Lim Chu was trying to identify them carefully. But I was already prepared..

“If it's a recommendation from Seo Mu-in, you can trust it. Can you work today??”

“Of course.”

“I just happened to have a big case today, so I'm glad it came. Go over there and wait. Because more people need to gather.”

I went and sat down where he said. Some Ronin glanced at me, but I didn't even pay them a glance..

After about an hour, all the people ready to go on the mission had gathered. There were fifteen people in total..

In his last life, Lim Chu said that there were fifty ronin mobilized for this work. Anyway, these are the braggadocios of drunkards..

Anyway, even with fifteen people, it was definitely a big task. Normally, ronin would be mobilized for at least two or three or at most six or seven jobs. Unless it was truly an emergency, I wouldn't spend so much of my rough life wandering around..

“Today, the lead will be led by Miss Yang..”

Yang Dang (梁當), who was introduced, was a man with a long history as a ronin..

“It is a mission that is as dangerous as it is well-paid. Anyone who acts like an asshole will die by my hands first, so you know that..”

After warning everyone, both parties approached me..

“It's an unmanned recommendation.?”

“exactly.”

“Can I trust your skills??”

“If you cut someone, will you be recognized? It's you?”

I didn't think I would look like a ronin if I went out too low, so I went out with a moderate amount of force..

“Hey, don't be cocky. And then, this world is what drips like the morning dew..”

I didn't bother to argue because I felt that they were trying to discipline the ronin by setting an example for me..

“Don't worry, I'll follow your orders. I just get money and that's it.”

“We'll see..”

So the fifteen ronin got on the prepared horses and carriages and headed somewhere..

Only after finding out the final location through several contacts was I able to meet the woman and the boy..

Their faces looked exactly alike, and no one could tell they were mother and son..

Only after meeting them did both parties tell us about this mission..

“We have to get those two people safely to Nampyeong. We need to move as quickly as possible.”

The fact that fifteen Ronin were mobilized for the escort mission meant that the status of this woman and boy was great. At the same time, it also meant that they were in great danger..

The kid in the carriage looked at me through the window. He was a cute and handsome boy. I smiled and waved at the child, and he bowed..

He seemed to have a good personality and was well-educated. The woman I was riding with bowed lightly to me and closed the curtain. Her face was full of anxiety and worry.

So the carriage carrying the two people started running. The ronin rode together on horseback, escorting the carriage back and forth..

The carriage stopped only when the horses were tired and could no longer run..

As the horses rested, the people also ate and rested. Both parties distributed the beef jerky they had prepared to the ronin. The woman and child were given separately prepared food..

The ronin received twice the amount of money they normally receive for this mission. The two parties leading them would have received several times more. Maybe that's why he was so nervous to complete this mission safely..

“I don't know when I'll eat again. So everyone eat well!”

After resting for about half an hour, the carriage departed again..

How long has it been since we set off??

A ronin fell from a galloping horse..

“stop!”

The Ronin stopped and looked at the fallen man. He was dead, with a black face and foam at the mouth..

“died.”

The ronin who was reporting was surprised when he saw his colleague who was with him. To be exact, both were surprised. They too had bloodshot eyes and their faces had turned black..

“poison?”

The moment I said those words, they grabbed my neck and fell back..

“Ugh.”

The faces and bodies of the Ronin turned black and they fell down one after another..

There were three people who did not collapse until the end. It was the two parties that led us, another ronin, and me..

I could tell from the way they looked at me.

‘These people have released the poison!’

This is something that even I didn't know about. In the past, when I heard from Lim Chu, I heard that the ronin were attacked by an external attack and their bodies were not even found. I never would have thought that the guide had poisoned the food..

They probably disposed of all the corpses to hide that they had poisoned them..

“why didn't you die?”

Both parties glared at me with surprised faces and asked.

“Because I didn’t eat the beef jerky you gave me. How can I eat food given to me by someone I met for the first time today??”

Although many things are changing since I regressed, there are also some things that do not change. Just as the fate of the monk who mixed his rice with acid poison was destined to die that day, so was the death of these ronin people today..

Even if we try to prevent unnecessary killings, unavoidable things like this still happen. What will change will change and what will happen will happen..

Two people pulled out their swords at the same time.

“It would have been better to eat that and die..”

Just then something unexpected happened.

Puuk!

Yangdang's sword pierced the back of another ronin and came out through the chest..

“Pfft!”

The man collapsed, spouting blood..

I shook my head and told him.

“Are you stupid? I should have killed him after he had to deal with me. I know what my skills are like?”

“This guy is so calculating and selfish that he would never have tried to fight first. If I have to step up and fight first anyway... … Better to just kill you while you're distracted.”

It seems like the two had similar skills..

“What a pathetic life. If you live your life standing in line and stabbing others in the back, won't it be your turn??”

“I won't stand behind my back, so stop worrying.”

“What are you going to do with the money you earned by killing your colleagues like this??”

“There's a lot to do. Drink alcohol, buy women.”

“Killing so many people just for that? All the ghosts will hang on you. Will your load be able to stand because it is so heavy??”

“You idiot. Don't worry about your life!”

The reason he killed his colleague was because he had something to trust..

Four men appeared there. Three of the four people wore masks, and only the man who appeared to be the leader was not wearing a mask. I could see from their eyes and gait that they were quite capable people..

“Have you come??”

Both parties greeted each other politely. From their tone and actions, it seemed as if the newcomers had hired both parties..

The two parties and I were not concerned about the man who was not wearing a mask. he shouted as he saw the carriage..

“Stop coming out. Before I burn the whole carriage down.”

Then the woman and child got out of the carriage with frightened faces..

“You're so good at hiding like a rat, I got scolded trying to find you..”

The woman ejaculated on the man..

“Kwon Mu-in, please at least save our sheep..”

The woman seemed to know the man well. The man called Kwon seemed to think for a moment..

“great. I will save you by remembering the old days..”

The moment when joy and hope flash across the woman's face. Kwon showed his mean true nature.

“Did you know it would be like this? You damn bitch. How can I be considered a master when even if I get down on my knees and beg, it's not enough??”

Kwon laughed while teasing his anxious mother..

The surprised child was hugged by the width of her mother's skirt. The woman's expression hardened as she was humiliated by her subordinate. However, wanting to somehow save her child, the woman ejaculated again..

“If you save Yang, I will give you ten times the amount of money you will receive..”

“No matter how much money is the best, it cannot be more important than life. Your father has already been subdued and captured. It's all over.”

The woman let out a sorrowful sigh upon hearing that her father had been subdued..

At that time, the gaze of the person called Kwon turned towards me..

I was smiling and waving to the child who looked like he was going to start crying at any moment, just like when I first met him..

Kwon, who thought that appearance did not suit this situation, asked both parties..

“What is that guy? It wasn't a subordinate?”

Everyone's eyes were focused on me. In particular, the eyes of the woman holding the child were full of earnestness hoping for a change..

I walked slowly and blocked the woman and child..

“I am the person who was paid to take these two people to their destination. The people you need to protect are also the people you stand behind..”

It was the moment when a rope made of twisted silk thread was placed in the hands of a woman who had to grasp at straws..
