Chapter 42: Lazy Man, Solved (4)

Gong Mu-jin opened his mouth with a heavy heart.

“Do you see any urgency in this situation?”

Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head and answered.

“Sometimes when I see you, you seem to say strange things. Isn’t it because of this situation that you see the emergency? Aren’t you curious about what it is that so many people are risking their lives to chase after?”

“…….”

Gong Mu-jin almost nodded.

'Oh, no, if I admit it here,'

You shouldn't get caught up in that lazy bum's tricks.

“But you don’t usually read it on the spot! You might lose your neck.”

“Don’t worry, I’m still fine.”

Wi Yeon-ho said, tapping his own neck.

“Surprisingly, I’ve become tougher as I’ve been trained.”

“Okay.”

Gong Mu-jin looked away from Wi Yeon-ho, perhaps thinking that further conversation would only make him more angry.

As people gathered, some stepped forward.

“I am Jeong Rip, the Nine-Hour Swordsman from Hanam.”

The eyes of the people gathered on Jeongrip.

“The author is Jeongrip.”

“I never would have guessed that the establishment of the swordsmanship would be here.”

The crowd began to roar.

Jeongrip confirmed that everyone's attention was focused on him and slowly led the conversation.

“If all these people rush to the emergency room, there will be great sacrifices. So, how about we decide on our own method?”

The first one to find Wi Yeon-ho was Sam-bul (三不), Jeok-geon (赤移建), who frowned and answered his words.

“Method? What method do you mean?”

Gookwaedo Jeongrip smiled brightly as he watched the enemy.

“Senior Jeok, you’re here too. If I had known you were here, I wouldn’t have acted so arrogantly.”

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

Even though he must have known that he was confident, seeing Jeong-rip speak in a sullen manner, it seemed like even the enemy would have a hard time maintaining his composure.

“Isn’t the method simple? The martial arts world is not a place where the law of the strong lives.”

“Let the strongest one take the secret weapon?”

"exactly."

The enemy asked with a dumbfounded expression.

“Who wants to prove who is the strongest? Are we going to have a group fight here?”

“Would that be okay? It would be a good idea to have the strongest fight each other, but if you do that, you might lose your life to the swords of others while you’re exhausted. That’s why I’m making a suggestion. Senior enemy, it’s only natural for the strong to have this secret weapon. So, how about sharing it among the strong for now?”

For a moment, a strange light appeared in the enemy's eyes.

“Hmm, are you saying we should show solidarity?”

“So to speak, yes.”

“You’re quite the roundabout talker. But it’s not a bad idea.”

The enemy nodded slowly.

Even so, it wasn't easy to extract the secret from among these many people. To be honest, I couldn't even guarantee a match against Gookwaedo Jeongrip.

In the meantime, it was clearly beneficial to have a way to secure emergency supplies.

“There’s no point in wasting time. I agree. So, you and I are going to do it together?”

“That’s not it.”

Jeongrip shook his head and answered.

“Actually, if we were to do that, there would be quite a few people who would object. Among them, there are some who are honestly burdensome. For example, Seok Hyung over there.”

“Hahaha, you know a lot.”

As soon as Jeongrip spoke, a bald giant walked out from among the crowd and struck the ground with an axe.

“……That human bastard was here too.”

“Hahaha. You’d better watch your words, old man. Your joints aren’t all that good, you don’t want them to break into pieces.”

The enemy turned his head away as if he didn't want to deal with it.

“And I will put it in for you, so please put down that bow you have pointed at my back for now. Who would dare to proceed with the matter without killing? I don’t have the courage to do so.”

“Hmm.”

When a noise was heard from above the trees, the heads of the people gathered in that direction. Then, a figure wearing typical hunter's attire poked his head out from between the branches.

“Then I will join too.”

Jeongrip smiled softly.

“At this point, we can easily take care of the remaining personnel. So let’s secure emergency supplies first.”

Jeongrip said while looking at Wi Yeonho.

“Brother, since things have come to this, wouldn’t it be better to pass the emergency supplies over to me?”

Wi Yeon-ho sighed.

"mister."

Wiggle.

Jeong-rip's face shook slightly when he heard the word "uncle."

“You’ve already heard everything, so why do you keep asking me to repeat the same thing? I told you that this is mine now and I won’t give it to you.”

Jeongrip looked at Wiyeonho with a strange expression.

'He looks fine.'

Are you having some mental problems?

Even if a three-year-old doesn't know, a seven-year-old would probably have a sense of what was going on, but that kid seemed to have no clue at all.

Jeongrip was a quick thinker.

'There's no use talking to that guy.'

If it were his original nature, he would have already killed Wi Yeon-ho and brought the secret, but he was concerned about the person who had been fidgeting next to Wi Yeon-ho like a puppy that was hungry.

“It seems like you are a group, so wouldn’t you like to speak nicely? I don’t want to waste any more time. If you can resolve the matter easily before I take it by force, that would be great.”

Gong Mu-jin stared at Jeong-rip and then spoke with a half-given expression.

“Try to steal it.”

“What did you say?”

Jeongrip thought he must have misheard.

But by then, even the symbols of the public office had been distorted as much as they could be.

“Are you deaf? If you want to take it, go ahead and take it! What kind of guy is that guy! He’s the kind of guy who won’t spit out what he puts in his mouth until a knife is put in his throat!”

Aging had set in on Jeongrip's face.

“……This author!”

From Jeongrip's perspective, he couldn't help but think that the public officials were causing trouble.

“If you dare say something like that in front of me, you must not be nameless, right? Unless you are a petty person who cannot reveal your name in front of others…….”

uh?

Jeongrip's eyes were fixed on the man's sleeve.

Isn't that a plum blossom pattern?

"small fry?"

The officer's head tilted upward.

“This is the first time I’ve heard the term ‘small-minded person.’ You don’t plan on insulting the inspector of the volcano and returning home alive, do you? If you want, I’ll tell you. I’m Gong Mu-jin.”

“Falcon, plum blossom sword ghost!”

When the name Gongmujin came out, the people took a few steps back as if they had planned to.

"wow?"

When Wi Yeon-ho saw the sight, he was surprised and asked Lee Seol-hwa.

“Is that guy really that famous?”

Lee Seol-hwa blushed and nodded slightly.

“You have some fame.”

“Isn’t that a bit much? I thought you were just some ordinary guy since you’re so weak…….”

Gong Mu-jin made a solemn expression and prayed that Wi Yeon-ho's ramblings would not reach other people's ears.

'Don't do it! Don't call me weak!'

He even revealed his name as Gong Mu-jin, so if he says he's weak, what would he become?

“Khuhhhhhh!”

Gong Mu-jin coughed loudly and tried to gloss over the situation.

“I didn’t know that the Plum Blossom Sword Ghost was here. I apologize for my rude words and actions.”

When Jeongrip gave the lottery ticket, Gongmujin accepted it with a slightly arrogant expression.

“Wow, look at that expression.”

At the same time, the official immediately loosened his arrogant expression.

'I, I wasn't this kind of person… … .'

'Before I met that guy, wasn't I the best in the volcano and the next Jangmun seal to be mentioned externally? But now I have to watch out for that kid who keeps talking behind my back.'

Gong Mu-jin's teeth were clenched in anger.

“Does the arrival of the Plum Blossom Sword Demon mean that Hwasan has intervened in the fight for Eugene?”

Gong Mu-jin answered in a heavy voice.

"no."

"……then?"

“We just stopped by this inn on our way. I have no interest in that secret. Hwasan may change his position later, but for now, I will not touch that secret.”

“Oh.”

Jeongrip's expression brightened significantly.

Considering the fame of the Plum Blossom Sword Demon and the Hwasan that supported him, it was quite burdensome to confront Gong Mujin.

“Then may I speak with your group?”

“It doesn’t matter at all, do whatever you want.”

“Do you really not care at all?”

When Jeongrip kept coming up, Gongmujin sighed and answered.

“I promise you in front of everyone. Even if someone uses a knife to cut off your head, I have nothing to do with it.”

Of course your neck will fall off.

Gong Mu-jin looked at Jeong-rip with pitiful eyes.

'Don't blame me later.'

The public servants were so worried that they might come looking for him and ask why he didn't tell them in advance that they had cut off ties.

“If that’s the case.”

Jeongrip looked at Wi Yeonho with a bright smile.

“You heard me, little brother? There’s no one left to help you now.”

Wi Yeon-ho replied with a sullen face.

“I didn’t expect any help from the beginning. That person is the type of person who only takes what he wants and ignores others when they ask for help.”

At Wi Yeon-ho's words, Jeong Rip turned his head and looked at Gong Mu-jin.

Gongmujin was already looking at the distant mountains. He had a firm determination not to turn his back and meet your gaze.

“I guess that’s fine. Even at this hour, tiger-like beings are coming. My patience has reached its limit, so let me say this one last time…….”

"no!"

The Wei Yan Lake finally exploded.

“I said I won’t give it to you! I won’t give it to you! Are you deaf? I said I won’t give it to you! Where the hell have you been and what have you been doing to not understand what I say! I told you! I won’t give it to you! No! Give! It! All! Go!”

Jeong Rip, who had been covering his ears to the loud voice, looked at Wi Yeon-ho with a dumbfounded face.

If I put my hands down over my ears now, it felt like smoke would rise from them.

Who you are.

The old way is established.

Even the plum blossom sword ghost Gong Mu-jin is reluctant to clash with the old guard. And now this stupid kid is yelling at him.

“Come on! You punk! Let’s see if you can resist!”

The sword that symbolized him was pulled out from his waist. As the sword flew through the air like a ray of light, the people in the court tightly shut their eyes.

Even though he is crazy, I don't want to see that little kid lying around with his head cut off.

Phew!

The sound of a pig being slashed echoed along with the thrilling crash.

“Kuweeeeeeek!”

The soldiers opened their eyes in puzzlement at the sound they heard. It was clearly a road cut, but what was that sound of a blunt object hitting them and a scream?

And those who opened their eyes could not help but be terrified by the situation unfolding before their eyes.

Gookwaedo Jeongrip was rolling around on the floor, clutching his head.

“Hey, where did this old man get his sword from?”

And then Wei Yanhu spat on the floor, then he started to approach Gu Kwai-do with a long club wrapped in a white cloth in his hand.
