Taejonbirok Volume 9 Episode 2

Chapter 53: The Lazy Man on the Road (2)

Wi Yeon-ho opened his mouth as he saw the appearance of Peng Do-geuk who had jumped in front of the group.

“What is this strange feeling of foreboding?”

Wi Yeon-ho's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

No matter how I look at it, that human in front of me seems to be that water ghost.

“Am I dreaming or have I gone back in time?”

“Do you know this person?”

Wi Yeon-ho muttered as he looked back at Jin Ye-ran's words.

“When I see that the people around me have changed, it doesn’t seem like we’ve gone back to the past.”

If so, there is only one outcome.

That water ghost must have had a hobby of suddenly appearing in front of people in that kind of appearance. And it was obvious that it probably had a hobby of bringing a bunch of enemies with it and making fun of other people.

Wi Yeon-ho sighed as he anticipated what would happen next, but Seok Moon-cho, who had no way of knowing such circumstances, tilted his head as he watched Peng Do-geuk suddenly appear.

“What are you doing here? Why is the guy who should be heading to the volcano coming this way?”

“Huh? A volcano?”

Peng Do-geuk tilted his head as if he had no idea what was going on.

“Wasn’t that what was at your parents’ house?”

“I was on a special mission with your orders, sir.”

“So the chimney couldn’t have reached it. So, why is that guy here looking like that?”

“Ah! Instructor! This is not the time. I am being chased.”

“You’re being chased?”

“Yes. The order I received was…….”

Peng Do-geuk, who was about to speak, turned his head back.

“……I’m screwed.”

It seemed as if the bushes on both sides of the pipe were shaking as a whole, and then people wearing green uniforms came rushing out from the left and right and approached them.

Seokmuncho's face instantly hardened.

"green wood?"

It was not possible to be certain that it was Nokrim just because of the green uniform. There were many who used the green uniform as a symbol. However, the uniform that Seokmuncho was looking at now was definitely that of Nokrim.

Seokmuncho's knowledge was not so limited that he could not even tell that much.

The green forest people who discovered the group stopped walking and quietly watched them.

“Tell me what’s going on.”

“……I can’t tell you everything. It’s your position as a military officer……”

“Umm…….”

“What is certain is that I went undercover to investigate them, and in the process, I was caught by them and was on the run.”

“I infiltrated the green forest…….”

Seokmuncho nodded slowly.

“Great Hyuk.”

Seokmuncho looked at Wijeonghan, who was riding next to him, and asked.

“What should I do?”

Wi Jeong-han slowly scratched his chin and opened his mouth.

“Since it is a government office, wouldn’t it be better to refrain from killing if possible? The child is safe, so if we can send him back nicely, let’s send him back.”

Seokmuncho looked at Wijeonghan with a strange look in his eyes.

'Jeong Hyo-geom's temperament has also softened a lot.'

In the past, the moment the Nokrimdo came into view, he would have been a righteous man who would have drawn his sword and cut it down without asking or questioning.

Wasn't he given the name Jeong Hyo-geom because of his sharp temperament that was so righteous and did not forgive even the slightest evil?

Seeing such a powerful person trying to avoid conflict made me realize once again that the saying that time changes people is true.

Wi Jeong-han, who was under Seokmuncho's gaze, snickered.

“That’s not it. They are quite numerous, so if there is an unnecessary clash, the children will be hurt. Isn’t our mission to safely take these children to the volcano?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Seokmuncho nodded deeply, as if he hadn't thought about that far ahead. It was certainly not the time to discuss personal matters. The mission had to come first.

“Listen.”

Seokmuncho spoke to the Nokrimdo who were quietly watching them while maintaining their formation.

“I don’t know what happened, but from this moment on, this young man has come under the protection of Jeongmu-maeng. If you don’t intend to betray Jeongmu-maeng, then go back.”

Seokmuncho smacked his lips as if he was disappointed.

It was a shame to just let them go, not only himself but also the Wijeonghan.

Normally, he wouldn't have tried to punish them just because they saw the Nokrimdo, but these people had tried to kill his disciples just a moment ago. It was a twisted feeling in his stomach to let them go unharmed.

But, whether they knew his feelings or not, the Nokrimdos began to smile strangely.

“What are you going to do if you plan to turn your back on Jeongmu-myeong?”

“It’s scary? It’s so scary that I want to slit my throat right now.”

“Chuck… Heh heh heh heh heh.”

Seokmuncho's face hardened.

'What the heck, these guys?'

Ordinary Green Foresters would not have reacted like this. No, even before that, if they were ordinary Green Foresters, there was no way that Peng Do-geuk would have been chased away like this.

It wasn't because he was his disciple, but because Peng Do-geuk was a latecomer who would not be outdone anywhere in the world. Isn't it Peng Do-geuk who, along with Wei Shan, occupied the last place among the five dragons of the previous generation?

Was that kind of a pervert being chased by the Green Forest people?

Even if their number was not negligible, it was bound to be awkward.

“They are no ordinary guys.”

"hmm……."

Seokmuncho slowly nodded after hearing Pengdo-geuk's words. They seemed to be at least elite members of the Green Forest.

“Are you saying that you are not afraid of the Jeongmu Alliance?”

At Seokmuncho's words, the Nokrimdos laughed lowly and sinisterly.

“Of course it’s scary. The Political Alliance is a scary place.”

“We know that fact better than anyone else.

"but……."

Those standing in front flew into the air and landed behind the group, neatly blocking their escape route.

“If you all die here, who will know that it was our doing?”

Seokmuncho quietly ground his teeth. Even if you ignore people, you are still a genius, how dare you be like the Green Forest!

Just as Seokmuncho was about to have a seizure, Wi Jeonghan slightly steered his horse forward. As Jeonghyeopgeom stepped forward, Seokmuncho took a deep breath to calm Nohwa.

Wei Yanhu looked at the situation with an excited expression.

Isn't this exactly the situation that Jo Hyun was talking about?

“How far will it go?”

Lee Seol-hwa tilted her head.

“You got eaten?”

“My father’s reputation. My military grandfather said that when my father says a word, most kids will back down. I don’t know because I just stay at home.”

Wi Jeong-han's ears perked up.

'child.'

Now I see how great this father is.

Wi Jeong-han, who was in high spirits, opened his mouth.

“I am the Jeonghyeopgeom Wi Jeonghan.”

“Worthy?”

The atmosphere of the Nokrimdo Islands suddenly changed. The tension seemed to have been heightened.

As soon as the word “Wi Jeong-han” was mentioned, all the Nokrimdo members slightly lowered their postures and glared at Wi Jeong-han as if they were going to pierce through him.

'It's a little ambiguous?'

This reaction alone seemed to be enough to show the father's dignity, but somehow it wasn't enough.

“If you know my name, you will know how merciless my sword is. I will not speak at length. I have a lot of work to do today, so I will open a special way for you to live. So open the way and step aside.”

Wi Jeong-han straightened his shoulders.

"oh!"

Wi Yeon-ho nodded when he saw the sight.

“It’s definitely different from at home.”

He was like a storybook hero. Nothing he said or did was out of line with the principles of the story.

But the reaction was a little different.

The green forests that had to run away with their tails pulled out were gnashing their teeth and glaring at the righteous.

“Wonderful…….”

The green forest owls stare at Wijeonghan with eyes as if they are facing a life-or-death rival.

Wi Jeong-han and Seokmun-cho also had an intuition that something was wrong.

'What is this reaction?'

It was a reaction that could not have come out in an ordinary green forest.

Of course, there are quite a few Nokrimdos that Wijeonghan has cut down, but why is Nokrim called Nokrim? Nokrim is a place where bandits gather and make a living. As such, isn’t Nokrim a place where changes are rapid and members change frequently?

If he had enough loyalty to regard the person who killed his past comrades as his enemy, he would not have joined the Green Forest.

But these people were clearly holding a grudge against the government.

Just as Wi Jeong-han was about to say something in response to the incomprehensible reaction, one of the Nokrimdo shouted.

“Kill him!”

“…….”

“Kill them all! Especially, don’t let Wi Jeonghan escape! They must be killed!”

"omg……."

Wi Jeong-han's mouth opened wide.

And then a single, painful word pierced his ears.

“Fame doesn’t help a thing.”

The son of a bitch's cold assessment tore at Wi Jeong-han's heart.

'This isn't it… … .'

Of all the green forests in the world, why did I have to meet these guys and embarrass myself?

No, that's not important right now!

Wi Jeong-han raised his hand on the hilt of his sword to deal with the rushing Nokrimdo. However, even though the order to attack was given, he was unable to easily rush at the Nokrimdo.

One of them opened his mouth.

“……I can’t handle this situation. Permission to fire?”

“It’s impossible.”

"one!"

“It is his order. I cannot disobey his command, even if I have to die here.”

“…….”

“And I can’t just send Wi Jeong-han away like this. I’d rather die here.”

“Jeonmyeong!”

Wi Jeong-han's face hardened.

I couldn't understand what he was saying. The guy who gave those strange orders was strange, and the guys who carried them out were equally strange.

‘I’ve seen this method a lot… … .’

But Wi Jeong-han's thoughts could not continue in depth.

Upon hearing the order, the Nokrimdos all drew their weapons and began to rush at them.

“These crazy guys!”

Seokmuncho shouted in surprise.

“Everyone, come down!”

The Jeongmu Alliance members who jumped down from their horses also drew their weapons and charged at the Nokrimdo.

Ugh.

Wi Jeong-han also jumped down from his horse and drew his beloved sword.

How dare someone like Nokrim-do attack him.

“I forgot my sword.”

The sword of the wise man rang out with a sharp sound.

Wi Jeong-han lightly swung his sword at the Nokrimdo that was rushing towards him.

visor!

Then he took a step back with a bewildered look on his face.

'what?'

It was something incomprehensible. A single Green Forest member had taken his sword.

It's not that I underestimated my opponent.

Considering the energy waves that could be felt from the outside and the aura emanating from their bodies, it seemed as if they had enough energy to kill with a single strike, but that single sword was deflected with an unbelievable lightness.

“It’s stronger than you think! Everyone, don’t let your guard down! Think of the ship as being stronger than it looks!”

That was the best the wise man could do.

Wi Jeong-han gripped the handle of his sword tightly as he watched the Nokrimdo rushing toward him.

It's unidentifiable and full of strange spots, but now is not the time to worry about such things. When facing an enemy, you should forget about useless thoughts. You should only focus on defeating the enemy in front of you.

Wi Jeong-han's eyes sank deeply.

His usual boisterous appearance was nowhere to be found, and a sharp-tongued swordsman was standing there.

“Come.”

A low, flowing voice.

Wi Jeong-han went out to meet the Nokrimdos rushing towards him.
