Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 330

330
The letter from Geumgi-ryong was, as expected, just as Sister Seol had said.

Since the ship was already completed, the idea was to decide where to take it to the temple.

“Haha. I should write a reply and send it right away.”

“The little dragon is very excited.”

“I can’t help but be excited. It’s like our new home is coming to life. I can’t even sleep tonight because I’m so excited about how wonderful it will be.”

The shell that covers the gold sword is a kind of armor.

Can poison wear armor?

Isn’t this something like a transforming robot?

What man can tolerate this?

In my previous life, there were animations that gave armor and weapons to dinosaurs and animals, but they didn’t just come out of nowhere.

Because there is demand, there is supply.

Seol’s sister smiled faintly when I spoke with an excited expression.

“So the little dragon likes something other than poison?”

“There are many things I like other than poison. For example, there is Hwaeun…”

“Hwa-eun is happy. My little sister likes her.”

“Sister too···.”

“Ah. Hwa-eun is running away.”

Hwa-eun looked embarrassed and disappeared to one side, then came out with a writing brush and ink stick.

Is it because Hwa-eun mentioned her favorite things?

Seol said she ran away, but it looks like she went to get this.

“Little Dragon, here. Pencil and ink.”

“Thank you, Hwa-eun.”

I was going to write a letter right away and ask where would be good.

‘No. If I send this letter…’

But after I finished writing the letter, I realized that if I continued this way, it would take more than two weeks just to decide on a place to meet.

It would take at least two or three letters to decide on a meeting place, and even if they asked the office where the martial artist was, it seemed like it would take a lot of time just to send and receive letters.

That’s because I go back and forth from here to Taean.

“It seems like it’ll take a long time to get there by train, so I’ll go with Yeondoo right away. If we fly, we can get there in one day.”

“Right now? You just got here.”

Seol’s sister looked at Hwa-eun with a bewildered expression when I told her that I would go quickly.

I had just arrived from Beijing and was going alone, so I guess they were looking at me like they were asking if I was allowed to do that.

Because my solo travel was implicitly forbidden.

But this time, there was enough justification that they were neither fighting nor going to catch poison.

Moreover, Hwa-eun had become much more gentle after what happened last time, so I looked at her with an expectant expression, and she touched my clothes and said.

“Take care on your way back. If anything happens, please contact me through the group chat.”

“Yes, Hwa-eun.”

“No, you’re allowing this?”

Could it be that the effect of mentioning Hwaeun as a representative favorite a little while ago has continued?

Although Seol-nu was shocked, Hwa-eun changed me into the clothes she had washed and quietly took me to the kitchen, told me to have a good time and even kissed me.

“Can’t you worry me this time? Hehe.”

“Oh, of course!”

‘wow.’

I bet you got permission.

After explaining the situation to the children, he wrapped Hyang-i around his body and headed straight to Taean with Yeon-du.

Geum Gi-ryong usually stays at his own guest house in Taean.

We left at lunchtime, but arrived early at night, just as the sun was setting.

Let’s go to the window of Geumgi-ryong’s quarters and look inside. Geumgi-ryong was standing in front of the desk, diligently organizing documents while turning on the lamp.

Is this really the image of a model merchant?

I called him with a smile.

“mold.”

“huh?”

When we broke up, we decided to eat together, so I called him by the term friends with an age difference use.

Then, Geum Gi-ryong looked towards the door and then shook his head.

I thought maybe I misheard him, so I held back a laugh and called him back.

“Here it is. Here.”

“Ugh! Small!”

At first, Geumgi-ryong looked at the door again, but then, at my repeated calls, he turned his gaze toward the window and jumped up from his seat in surprise.

He came to the window, then quickly stepped back and said:

“No, I’m surprised. Come in first. Small.”

As I entered, he took a quick look out the window, then grabbed both of my hands and greeted me.

“No, why did you come here so suddenly without any notice? Anyway, it’s nice to meet you.”

“I received the letter and was going to send a reply, but I thought it would take a long time for the letter to travel back and forth, so I came in person.”

“Ah, definitely. Anyway, welcome back.”

“Okay, where is the boat?”

“Ah, the ship departs from the shipyard···.”

-Gulp.

I wanted to talk about the belly right away, but the belly button clock was crying.

Geumgi Ryong stopped talking and looked at my stomach.

“Ahaha. This is before eating.”

“Then, please eat something and talk.”

As I scratched my head awkwardly, he prepared a late dinner for me.

The conversation started like that while eating.

I heard that the ship was already completed and was on its way from the shipyard, arriving here in a day or two.

“······The ship is coming here. Oh, just in case, I made the size a little bigger than the size I checked last time.”

“Oh, I’d rather have something bigger than something small. It’s a problem if it doesn’t fit.”

Geumgi-ryong even showed his sense by making it slightly larger just in case it didn’t fit Geumdo.

After picking up another dumpling and eating it, I asked about the exchange location.

“The dumplings are delicious. Oh, but where should I get the pear? I need a quiet place. I also need to wash the dirt off Geumdo’s back.”

He needed a quiet place because he wanted to wash away all the dirt and moss that had accumulated on Geumdo’s back.

I needed a place where there weren’t many people, even though I was working at night.

Geumgi-ryong answered my question as if he had thought about it in advance.

“Oh, I have a place in mind. There is a small lake covered with reeds a little way from here toward Beijing. Let’s do it there. People don’t usually come there. It’s far from the village. And if you block the entrance with a boat, no other boats can enter, so it’s perfect.”

As expected from a merchant, he is a meticulous person.

We decided on the date and location with a smile.

“Then let’s go there. Shall we meet in ten days? Let’s meet in front of that lake at dawn ten days later.”

“Okay, go ahead and do that.”

My brother’s group will return in about five days.

After waiting for a few days, Oryongsambong returned and a few days later, the long-awaited ship was delivered.

-Squeak. Squeak.

A foggy dawn.

Through the misty darkness, something large approached the lake from Taean.

“Little Dragon, something is coming in front of me.”

A ship suddenly emerges from the fog.

It was Geumgi Ryong’s ship, but behind it, another large ship was being pulled by a rope.

“Ohhhhh!”

The admiration that comes out the moment you see the ship.

That’s understandable, because it was so magnificent.

The second deck was properly prepared for the Cheongwol to be loaded onto, and both sides had rope railings instead of railings to make it easier for children to climb on.

Four boats entered the lake, and Geumgi-ryong’s boat blocked the entrance of the lake leading to the river.

The work started right away.

First of all, I decided to give Geumdo a bath.

Because I was planning to give Geumdo a bath first and then have him dive under me.

First, we tore down the bamboo house and bamboos that covered the Geumdo Island and tied them to our boat, and swept the sand that was on Geumdo Island’s back onto the lakebed.

-Clang clang.

The gleaming gold color is revealed when you scrub the back of the gold plate where the sand has disappeared and wash it.

Let’s clean the gaps between the head, tail, and body. Geumdo was feeling good and was wriggling his body, bubbling water.

-Bugururur.

“Are you feeling good?”

As all the crew members of our ship, including Oryongsambong and the children, hung on to shake off the dirt and wipe away the moss, the sun revealed as the fog cleared, and Geumdo’s body sparkled and shone.

“Oh, this is the true face of the Millennium Golden Turtle!”

“I will answer.”

“It’s beautiful.”

The true appearance of the guy who was acting like a beggar was revealed after being washed cleanly.

I couldn’t help but be amazed by its magnificent appearance.

After drying out for decades, the creature had exposed most of its shell, and it looked like a giant golden statue.

The only flaw is its worn-out shell.

A plate made of copper was made, nailed to the back, and the gaps between the shell and the copper plate were filled with glue and lacquer, giving it a slight jade flaw.

But it will gradually get better with time.

After letting the guy dry his shell for a couple of hours.

Now I decided to try connecting the boats.

“I don’t think there will be any problem with shallow diving, so let’s dive in and try it on the back.”

-Bugurur.

Finally, he carefully checked to make sure no water had entered the area he had filled, and told Geumdo to swim under the boat.

Then, the golden sword sank into the water, and soon the ship that matched the golden sword’s shell and head rose slightly.

-Bang! Bang! Bang!

Next is the sound of knocking on wood.

There was a wooden ring-like thing made on the edge of the shell to attach the ship to the shell of the gold sword, and it was the sound of the technicians who followed connecting them one after another.

-bang!

As the last wooden ring was connected and wrapped around the hull to check if the ship fit well into the shell of the golden sword, the eyes of the golden sword were confirmed to be sparkling and open in the eye sockets of the bow part where the head of the golden sword could be inserted.

It feels like both the head and the body fit well.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

-Bugurur.

-Tsurut. “Dad, it’s comfortable. You can float on water without any effort.”

Let’s check if it’s comfortable and if it fits well.

There was an answer that perhaps it was because of the buoyancy of the tree that it was easier to stay on the surface.

‘This is a real turtle ship. Admiral Yi Sun-sin, are you watching? Your descendants built a turtle ship in the Central Plains. Sob.’

I felt a little excited inside and immediately gave instructions to move.

“Okay! Then let’s move the luggage!”

“Yes, Little Dragon!”

First, Cheongwol came over, then the planks were laid and the loads were moved.

Meanwhile, I quickly headed to my cabin.

Because I had things to move.

As you enter the cabin, two wicker baskets catch your eye in each corner.

Two silvery cocoons still hung there, intact.

According to my calculations, Moji and Soji should have come out already, but there was still no news.

“When on earth are you guys going to come out like that?”

I said this with a frustrated expression, but the guys still didn’t move.

This ship had to be handed over to Geumgi-ryong, so he took out his sword and slowly cut off their entrails.

Since the knife can’t cut their threads, I scraped the wood on the wall and the hair and nails fell off.

I put them in a small container lined with straw and felt them wiggling inside.

I feel like there’s nothing wrong with my health.

“Okay, just come out slowly and healthily. Cheer up.”

I cheered them up and hung them again with the magic thread in the safest place in the new cabin.

And after waiting a little while, the moving process was over.

He gave orders to the sailor who was to steer the large power vessel on the new ship.

“Okay, then let’s go!”

“Okay, sir!”

-Tsrrrr!

As the Taoist hermit announced his departure to the goldsmith, a large boat emerged from the lake and began to sail up the Yellow River.

This is towards Yeongcheonbu, the capital of the Central Plains.

***

Yeongcheonbu, which can be reached in two days by taking a tributary from the Yellow River.

Yeongcheon-bu, located along a tributary of the Yellow River, was magnificent, befitting the capital of the Central Plains.

A huge waterway running through the center of the city and a bridge crossing it.

Tall pavilions lined the perimeter.

It was the most splendid and magnificent city I have ever seen.

“Wow. This is Yeongcheonbu. By the way, it seems like people are watching our ship too much.”

“It’s a bit oddly shaped, but there are many bigger ships coming and going, so interest will soon wane, Little Dragon.”

When an unusual ship came into the port, attention was briefly drawn, but as the porter said, there were ships larger than ours coming and going, interest quickly waned.

Because you would never have guessed that there would be a turtle inside.

So the ship anchored at Yeongcheonbu port and the next day.

The elder of the family, Akbulgun, who had received a request from my sister-in-law, arrived on our boat.

“Are you saying that the Blood Cult’s group is lurking in Yeongcheonbu!?”

“Yes, Uncle.”

He seemed to be my sister-in-law’s uncle, but when I told him that the Blood Cult was establishing a base in Yeongcheonbu, he showed an expression of disbelief and then became angry.

“Huh! This is ridiculous! So, where is that!?”

“Look this way.”

My sister-in-law’s uncle, who was looking at the contents that Ji-ryong showed.

He checked the data that Ji-ryong showed and pointed out the errors.

There were some things that were different from what we knew.

“The giraffe here has merged with this spot and is now one of the five giraffes in Yeongcheon-bu.”

“It seems like things have changed a bit in the meantime.”

The blood sect’s Giru was absorbed into the Odokmun’s spot and opened a new business. As business went well, it is said that Giru is now one of the top five in Yeongcheon-bu.

The story was about something that happened three months ago.

It seems that this happened while the head of the Blood Cult Blood Sound Alliance was coming to capture me, so the woman didn’t know about it.

I had a bad feeling about this, but then my sister-in-law’s uncle, who was checking the list of people involved, spoke with an expression of disbelief.

“Huh, Eunuch Heo was the owner of the spots and a member of the Odokmun clan, an ally of the Blood Cult!?”

“Eunuch? Do you know him?”

It seemed that the elder Akbulgun was still unaware of the fact that the Blood Sect had been absorbed into the Odokmun, but that was not important. What was important was the eunuch.

I heard he was definitely a low-ranking eunuch, but if he was a eunuch, he was the leader of the eunuchs.

As Ji-ryong and I opened our eyes wide in surprise, an unbelievable story continued.

“Ah, I see. Eunuch Heo is now a eunuch in the Gyeongsabang.”

“What if it’s a slope?”

“He is in charge of the Emperor’s boudoir affairs and is in charge of sending concubines to the Emperor’s bedroom. He can be considered the Emperor’s closest confidant. Two months ago, for some reason, the Emperor promoted him to the position of eunuch in the Gyeongsabang.”

It was said that the swindler of Odokmun had been promoted in the meantime and had reached a fairly high position.
