Taejonbirok Volume 2 Episode 20

Chapter 15 – The Lazy Delivery (2)

In general, Habukpyeongga is evaluated in two ways.

― A family of chivalry that cannot tolerate injustice.

and…….

― A family full of crazy people who think with their muscles instead of their heads when faced with a problem.

The place that received such polarized evaluations was Habukpangga.

Although it is evaluated as being extremely harsh, it is a family that is evaluated as being good if you have to choose one among them.

Although it is common for them to sometimes act rashly and make a big deal out of things, their chivalry is second to none in the world.

First of all, they were not evil, and even when they did commit crimes, most of them were committed with good intentions, so there were not many who would call them evil, rather than criticize them.

If someone from such a place were to say something like that, it would certainly be a serious matter.

“But how can we……”

Gokbi Port was in a difficult situation.

“There are those who are chasing me. My martial arts skills are not enough to ward off their pursuit. If you can help me escape this mountain by hiding in a tent, I will definitely thank you.”

Gokbihang sighed.

It is a moral imperative that we help.

However, the problem is that if you get caught up in this problem, not only your actions but also the fate of your country could be at risk.

There is such a dangerous smell in the air.

'What should I do?'

Gokbihang was worried.

If it was a matter of life and death, I would have helped without a second thought, but the task at hand was not that simple.

What troubled him the most was that this task did not seem easy at all. How could they help someone from Habukpengga who could not handle it?

However, if he had flatly refused, if things got messed up, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had been retaliated against by Habuk Pengga in the future. Of course, he wouldn’t have been retaliated against openly, but it would have been difficult to even set foot in Habuk in the future. There would be no Habuk person who would want to do business with a country that had a mark on it.

After thinking it over for a while, Gokbihang finally nodded as if he had made up his mind.

“I will help you.”

Peng Do-geuk's face brightened.

"thank you."

“I’ll thank you later. For now, please hide yourself in that bag.”

Peng Do-geuk bowed deeply and approached the cart pointed at by Gokbi-hang.

“Go up there and get into the luggage.”

"yes."

Peng Do-geuk climbed onto the luggage as Gok Bi-hang had said.

Then I found a young man with a very grumpy face lying on the luggage.

“…….”

The young man was looking at the pendulum with a very displeased expression.

“Oh, hello.”

Pandoguk, embarrassed by the young eyes of his enemy, awkwardly greeted him without realizing it.

The young man, Wi Yeon-ho, watched the play with an annoyed expression on his face and then closed his eyes.

"I……."

Peng Do-geuk was embarrassed.

I had to hide inside the luggage, but since Wei Yanhu was lying on top of the luggage, I couldn't dig inside.

“If you could step aside a little……”

But no matter what Peng Do-geuk said, Wei Yan-ho remained steadfast. Peng Do-geuk looked at Gokbi-hang with a face that seemed to be asking for help.

Then, Gokbihang panicked and climbed onto the cart.

“Hey, what are you doing! Get out of my way!”

Wi Yeon-ho opened his eyes.

"why?"

“Why!”

“Why should I get out of the way?”

Gokbihang coughed loudly.

“Just step aside for a moment. Why can’t this person hide himself in those bags and then lie down again?”

“I don’t like it.”

“You don’t like it? Why?”

“It’s annoying.”

Gokbihang looked at Wiyeonho with a bewildered expression.

What on earth are you trying to do?

“There’s no time for fooling around! Get out of the way quickly.”

"mister."

“Why, but! Don’t get out of the way quickly!”

Wi Yeon-ho answered with a very annoyed expression on his face.

“You don’t have to hide here. You can hide under a carriage or disguise yourself as a thief.”

In that moment, Gokbihang's face turned red with anger. Anyone could tell that it was because he was annoyed and he was not going to get out of the way.

But Wei Yanho finished what he wanted to say.

“Even if that’s not the case, you could just leave it alone.”

“I won’t say any more. Get out of my way.”

“I paid to join here, but it wasn’t my money, of course.”

After hearing that, Gokbihang let out a deep sigh.

After listening to the end, it seemed like it wasn't just because he was annoyed. If that was the case, then an explanation was needed.

'We're not alone.'

If you think about Wei Yanho, it would have been right not to do something that would invite danger. This was clearly Gokbihang's mistake. He acted too naturally like a target and ended up overlooking the fact that there was someone he had to protect in an emergency situation.

“I understand what you mean. You have the right to safety, too. I also know that our flag must guarantee it. If anything goes wrong, I will protect you with my life, so please step aside.”

Wi Yeon-ho still had a displeased expression on his face, but he quietly rolled over and headed to a corner.

“If anything happens, I won’t help you. I told you in advance.”

“Okay.”

Gokbihang clicked his tongue inwardly.

'What help would that be? It's better if it doesn't hurt you.'

Gokbihang untied the ropes that had tied the loads tightly together and removed the loads from the top. Then, he put the sling in and covered it with the loads again and tied the ropes tightly.

It was so well-made that it was impossible to guess from the outside that there was anyone inside.

When the work was finished, Wei Yanhu rolled over again and lay down on top of the luggage.

Gokbihang looked at Wiyeonho with a displeased expression.

'A young man of similar age is risking his life for justice in the world, but this punk just lies around and rolls around.'

He's not someone I'd normally look down on, but when we compared him directly like this, I felt even more offended than usual.

Gokbihang wanted to say more, but he turned his head away when he remembered that Wiyeonho was sick.

'You have to understand. I'm sick.'

Gokbihang, who had been distracted by Wi Yeonho, began to take care of Pengdogeuk.

“You must never make any noise.”

"All right."

A low voice came from inside the luggage.

Gokbihang nodded, climbed down under the cart, and resumed his march.

Wi Yeon-ho lay down on his luggage and sighed.

'What a broad-minded person.'

It's good to be kind, but there's no way anyone can benefit from someone who can't tell the difference between their own business and someone else's business and meddles in it. If you were smart, you should have turned away from Peng Do-geuk the moment you saw him get hurt and gone your own way.

If things were as they were, Peng Do-geuk would lose his life on this mountain, and if he was worried about Peng Ga, he could just keep his mouth shut and say he had never seen such a person.

'Well, I don't hate that kind of thing, but… … .'

At that moment, a small voice was heard from inside the luggage.

“How is it outside?”

"I don't know."

“You don’t know? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know because I’m lying down.”

“…….”

Peng Do-geuk's words suddenly stopped as if he was flustered.

After being silent for a while, Peng Do-geuk began to speak cautiously again.

“Then why don’t you sit down for a moment and look around?”

“Why me?”

The pendulum swayed again.

“If there’s something you want to see, come out and see it, or just stay there. Don’t bother people for no reason.”

Peng Do-geuk realized that he couldn't communicate with the person on top of the load.

Moreover, he realized that the person on top of the luggage did not have any good feelings towards him.

However, Peng Do-geuk was a proper person who thought about his own mistakes first, so he prioritized apologizing rather than blaming Wi Yeon-ho for his words and actions.

“I’m sorry for putting you in danger because of me. If this matter goes well, I will definitely thank everyone here.”

Wi Yeon-ho snorted.

“What good is a case after it’s been thrown away?”

"that……."

“Don’t you have a conscience? You put all these people in danger. If you had a conscience, you should have pretended not to see it.”

Wi Yeon-ho's words became like a knife and stabbed Peng Do-geuk.

“I think so too. But this is such a serious matter.”

“It doesn’t matter what country you’re in.”

Peng Do-geuk tried to make some excuse.

“Okay, don’t keep talking to me. I’ll be fine.”

“……Okay, I understand.”

Wi Yeon-ho closed his eyes.

For a while the carriage ran smoothly without incident.

Gokbihang was very nervous and kept looking left and right, but nothing unusual happened. While the carriage was almost down the mountain, no one showed up looking for Pengdogeuk.

'Did it fall over?'

When Gokbi Port felt a little relieved, something happened.

There were about a dozen people wearing green robes standing in front of me.

Gokbihang's eyes trembled with anxiety.

“Table, table leader?”

“Let’s just go. No doubts.”

The gokbi port reassured the charioteer driving the cart.

Then he whispered softly.

“No matter what happens, never make a sound.”

It was something he said to the penguin hiding inside his luggage.

As the carriage approached a little closer, the men blocking the road became clearly visible.

A green robe with the character for forest (林) engraved on it.

The implications of that were huge.

The eighteen green forests that rule the mountains of the world.

Among them, it was clothing worn only by the elite.

The regular green forest people had free clothing and did not wear clothes like that.

No, to be exact, I couldn't wear it because I didn't have the skills.

'Was that a fucking green forest?'

They say there is someone chasing them, but who would have thought they were Nokrim? Well, if it weren't for Nokrim, Peng Do-geuk wouldn't have been chased.

If it weren't for the Pengdo Theater, there would be no reason for the elite of the Green Forest to show up here in such large numbers.

There is also no reason to block the way forward.

As the carriage finally arrived in front of them, Gokbihang got out of the carriage with a nervous expression and took out a lottery ticket.

“The Gokbi Port of the Kwaeryongpyo Kingdom welcomes the heroes of the Green Forest.”

However, the men in green robes just stared at Gokbi Port without saying anything.

Despite the immature reactions of the enemy in the green forest, Gokbihang never lost his composure. If he panicked here, it would all be over.

“The Kwaeryongpyo Kingdom has maintained a good relationship with Nokrim. We will cooperate in any way we can, so could you please tell us what the matter is?”

At that moment, one of the green men opened his mouth.

“Have you not seen the young man in red?”

Gokbihang shook his head.

“We have never seen anyone like that.”

“Are you sure?”

"exactly."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the green-clad man's mouth.

“I don’t think so?”

Gokbihang bit his lips tightly.

The reaction was not very good.

It seemed like it wasn't going to end well today.

But fighting them with only those who were guarding the target now was like throwing eggs at a rock.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but we’ve never really seen anyone like that. Why would I lie? The Kwailongpyo Kingdom has maintained good relations with the Nokrim for a long time. Why would we hide the whereabouts of someone we don’t even know and turn against the Nokrim?”

Gokbihang protested desperately.

But the man opened his eyes coldly and pointed towards the carriage.

There was a tiger there.
