Taejonbirok Volume 7 Episode 8
Chapter 44: The Lazy Man Enters (2)
“Like a torch?”
Gong Mu-jin tilted his head as he looked at the lights in the distance.
We were almost at Luoyang. We were just a little further away, and Luoyang was there. So it wouldn't be strange if we saw some lights.
But if there are more than one or two of those lights, it gets a little weird.
'If it were the lights on the wall, it wouldn't look so dizzying.'
Gong Mu-jin slowly turned his head and looked at Wi Yeon-ho.
“Do you know what this is?”
“It’s a person.”
“……Even animals know how to use fire. Thanks to you, I just found out today. I asked because I didn’t know who the person was!”
Wi Yeon-ho said with a sullen face.
“I think you’ve been very dissatisfied with me lately.”
"does not exist!"
“No, I’m sure there is.”
“I said no!”
The officials ground their teeth.
There was no end to the complaints, but the officials knew very well that they were all too trivial to voice out loud.
“What kind of people are they?”
"well."
Wi Yeon-ho narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.
'Do you see that?'
In Gongmujin's eyes, only a tiny light was visible, but Wi Yeonho was looking ahead with a serious expression, wondering what he could see clearly.
'After all, there is a difference in the level of martial arts.'
Just as Gongmujin was about to become convinced, Wi Yeonho opened his mouth.
“The light looks like a tiny bean.”
“Hey, you son of a bitch!”
Gong Mu-jin shouted at Wi Yeon-ho while swinging his sword.
“Why are you angry!”
“Who here can’t see that! Why are you pretending to look at it so closely?”
“No, please look.”
Just as Gong Mu-jin was about to vent his anger, Musan grabbed his sleeve.
“Please calm down.”
“……Ugh.”
Even though he knew that talking to Wi Yeon-ho would make people irritated, Gong Mu-jin always tried to get him to stop.
“Why are there so many people there? What happened?”
Musan shook his head slowly.
“Everything in the world has its cause and effect. If there are people waiting for you on the road ahead, it is important to first think about whether they are waiting for someone from our side.”
"yes."
At Musan's words, Gongmujin looked up at the top of the carriage.
Well then, it's obvious.
“What are you going to do?”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s obvious that people are lining up there and trying to eat you.”
“……What did I do wrong?”
“I have not committed any sin. It is a sin to have treasure.”
“Wow, so you’re saying that just because I have treasure, people are going to come and try to steal my secret weapon? They’re useless people?”
“Isn’t that how it is in all martial arts?”
“That’s really funny.”
“Huh?”
“Everyone is a martial artist. But if there’s something bad about martial artists, that needs to be fixed. Why do you say that as if it’s natural?”
“…….”
Gong Mu-jin opened his mouth at Wei Yeon-ho's words that hit the nail on the head.
“Well, I haven’t really thought about it?”
“I knew you would do that.”
what?
What is this feeling of being ignored?
“So what are you going to do?”
Wi Yeon-ho seemed troubled by Seomun Da-yeon's words, then opened his mouth.
“Are you staying here for a day and leaving during the day?”
“It won’t make much sense. If we don’t go, they’ll come.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do. Let’s go.”
"song?"
Wi Yeon-ho nodded.
“If waiting doesn’t solve the problem, then we should go and see what happens. If we can avoid it, we can, but looking at the situation, it seems like it can’t be avoided.”

Seomun Da-yeon nodded at Wi Yeon-ho's words.
Wei Yanhu is right. This is something that cannot be avoided. If we continue on our way to Luoyang, we will eventually encounter those people.
"wait a minute."
Eonhyo raised her hand.
“How about we wait a little bit? If the Muryeon finds out that there are so many people gathered outside the castle, they will start investigating the situation. Then we will have no choice but to disperse.”
“No. They’ll come from over there first.”
“Hmm.”
Wi Yeon-ho concluded simply.
“Well, just go. I don’t think you’ll kill me, do you?”
"All right."
Looking at Seomun Da-yeon, who was urging him to speak again, Eon-hyo muttered to himself what he had not been able to say until the end.
'But why are we going together?'
The difference between Eonhyo and Wiyeonho was that they could not say those words out loud.
"and!"
Wi Yeon-ho opened his mouth as he looked at those blocking his way.
“There are a lot.”
It's not just the government.
The fields stretching out to the left and right of the road were also packed with people. The people blocking the road had one thing in common.
One was that they all had fierce eyes, and the other was that they were all armed with weapons.
Just looking at those two things, their purpose was obvious.
"to……."
As Seomun Da-yeon stopped the carriage and stared blankly, Gong Mu-jin took a step forward and opened his mouth.
“I am Gong Mu-jin, a disciple of the volcano.”
“Okay.”
"uh?"
I expected a reaction that would be something like "Plum Blossom Sword Ghost" or something, but the reaction was extremely direct and sharp.
“I don’t plan on dealing with that brat…… Tell the emergency man to come out, emergency man.”
"that's right!"
The pupil of the public servant caused an earthquake.
“Hey, what’s up?”
He is the plum blossom swordsman Gong Mu-jin.
He was known as a child prodigy and was considered the most powerful candidate for the next chief swordsman in the prestigious Hwasan swordsmanship school.
Gong Mu-jin was a person who had never once been free from the expectations and admiration of people since he was born.
But what?
A little kid?
“No, this crazy…….”
“Calm down, Gong Daehyeop!”
Musan hugged Gongmujin tightly from behind.
“No, I…… I…….”
“I understand that you feel wronged, but if you get angry now, things will get worse.”
“Ugh…….”
The officials were so angry that they almost cried.
A brat! A brat, my goodness!
When in his life had he ever been treated like this?
“No, you crazy guys! If Plum Blossom Sword Ghost is a rascal, then what the heck are you guys…… Ugh, ugh!”
Musan covered Gongmujin's mouth and quietly dragged him back.
Gong Mu-jin couldn't resist with his eyes filled with despair.
That is, until he saw Wei Yanhu looking at him from the carriage with a wide smile on his face.
“Kuaaaah!”
Gong Mujin had a seizure, but unfortunately he didn’t have a sword in his hand. Seolhwa Lee, who realized the situation, quickly approached and pulled out his sword. A swordsman without a sword couldn’t handle a Shaolin monk.
“Please calm down, sir.”
Wi Yeon-ho glanced back at the Gongmujin being dragged out by Musan and stepped forward.
“It’s not just a slacker, it’s a big shot.”
“Hey! You! Damn! Damn bastard……. Sob, sob!”
A sound was heard from behind, but Wei Yanhui ignored it and continued speaking.
“What do you want?”
The man in the front drew his sword, aimed it at Wi Yeon-ho, and spoke.
“Huh, you’re not asking because you don’t know, are you? If you want to live, hand over the emergency supplies and go.”
"hmm……."
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head as if he didn't know.
“I thought I already gave you the chance to get emergency supplies?”
“Damn it! Two gold nyangs aren’t even the names of the children. If I could afford that money, would I be crazy enough to chase after the Sword Emperor’s secret?”
Wi Yeon-ho looked back and said.
“I told you guys that you were crazy.”
As those chasing the carriage glared at him in despair, the man in the lead waved his hand in panic.
“No, no. I wasn’t talking to you guys. You punk, don’t cause trouble!”
“No, I just told you the truth…….”
Wi Yeon-ho felt wronged, but decided to let it go this time for the sake of a smooth conversation.
“So?”
“Even those who cannot afford two nyang of gold should have the opportunity to obtain the secret.”
“So I made it possible for you to get a loan?”
“……Who said they wanted it even if they had to go into debt!”
Wi Yeon-ho looked at the man in front and said quietly.
“So… I don’t want to pay, and I don’t want to borrow money either, but I want the supplies. So I’ll take them by force?”
“Haha, who said I would take it away? If you hand over the secret, I can take a good look at it and return it later.”
Wi Yeon-ho looked around.
“Do you think the same?”
No answer came.
“Hmm…….”
Wi Yeon-ho scratched the ball.
Seomun Da-yeon slowly approached him and spoke.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“Can’t you just press it like before?”
“They are people you’ve seen once. But the fact that they stopped you means that you’re prepared to fight.”
"……then?"
Wi Yeon-ho's eyes slightly sank.
“I don’t want to treat people who shamelessly covet other people’s stuff as human beings…….”
Seomun Da-yeon's body trembled.
'I told you it happens like this once in a while.'
It was the same when he fought the Demonic Cult, and it was the same when he fought the Gwido Ssangma. This person usually looks like a fool or an idiot, but when he has to use a real sword, he can be more bold and cruel than anyone else.
Given Wei Yanhu's inaction, if he really decides to take on this many people, there will be a lot of bloodshed no matter what the outcome.
“But I can’t kill them all. Well, there’s nothing I can do.”
Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue and turned around.
“Please pay attention.”
All the people following the carriage looked at Wi Yeon-ho.
“They want to get emergency treatment without paying. What do you think?”
The reaction was immediate.
“You guys are like thieves!”
“Don’t give it to me!”
“Hey, you guys! I have so much money that I borrowed money and got emergency benefits!”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded.
“I don’t plan on giving it to you either. So you have to choose.”
“……You said it was a choice?”
"yes."
Wi Yeon-ho gave a clear explanation.
“We’re going to get out of here. But those people won’t just let you go. They’ll try to take the secrets you have in your arms, whether the transcription is complete or not.”
“Hmm!”
It was a given.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come rushing in. If they had just copied it in the first place, what difference does it make whether it's the original or a copy?
“So, take your pick. If you want to run away, run away quickly. If you want to follow us through there, come this way.”
“Are you saying we can get through there?”
“If we go a little further, we will reach Luoyang. Even if they are just a few people out of the boat, they will not be able to set up a sword in Luoyang.”
People nodded.
There is a Wu Lian in Luoyang. And the governor of Luoyang will never sit idly by.
“It’s late at night, so the gates will probably be closed?”
“I can open that.”
After all the circumstances were explained, the people in charge began to quickly calculate in their heads.
It would be difficult to break through there. But if they couldn't, they would lose all their supplies and their lives would be in danger. They could just give up everything and run away now, but…
'I can't go back to the unfinished emergency!'
They absolutely had to finish this manuscript.
Those who had gathered their opinions ran towards Wi Yeon-ho and lined up behind the carriage.
“Then it seems like it’s sorted out.”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled and looked at Seomun Da-yeon.
Seomun Da-yeon also got on the carriage with a solemn expression on her face.
“Shut up.”
Wi Yeon-ho climbed onto the horse tied to the front of the carriage and shouted.
“There is no negotiation! If you don’t want to die, you’d better get out of the way!”
At the same time, Seomun Da-yeon struck the horse's rump with her whip. In an instant, the horses jumped up sharply and began to run forward at full speed.
Unhyo and Samryongibong also ran after them.
Unhyo shouted loudly with an expression that seemed like she was half crying.
“No! Why are we getting involved?”
If it's going to be like this, at least give me some emergency supplies!
Damn it!
