Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 252

252
I decided to go meet the craftsman right away with the princess’s letter.

“Let’s go Hwa-eun! Let’s try to convince her with this!”

“Okay, Little Dragon.”

He clearly said that he would think about it, but he avoided giving a clear answer until the letter arrived, so it was because he wanted to persuade her with the princess’s letter.

‘I guess I can push through since the princess has received a letter?’

I could roughly tell what the craftsmen and adults were worried about.

I guess you must be worried about sending me overseas when the Odogmun guys are after me.

But it was really a needless worry.

That would be the case, if I were going alone I wouldn’t know, but with my kids, who would put me in danger?

These kids already have the experience of completely wiping out a unit of the Blood Cult, but with the addition of the Death King, Cheong-yu, and Yeon-du becoming an adult, didn’t their attack power increase even further?

When you’re in the Tang family, you have the highest attack power because you have the Golden Phoenix Kings, but even if you bring along friends who can move, you shouldn’t have any problems taking on most enemies.

“The princess said she would help?”

“Yes, Master.”

“hmm···.”

Even though the princess told him that she would help, the father-in-law still didn’t come to a conclusion.

I brought it up to remind you of something you’ve forgotten.

“I know what you are worried about, but you don’t have to worry too much, Master.”

“How could you not be worried when those evil bastards from Odokmun are blatantly targeting you?”

“I’m not going alone, am I?”

“Hey, you bastard, it’s said that ten people can’t stop one thief. There’s a reason why adults worry.”

Our father-in-law was a very MZ person for his age, but why are only older people doing this all of a sudden…

After a moment of confusion, he smiled and nodded obediently.

Originally, if you talked back to words that started with ‘latte’ or ‘adults’, you would immediately get yelled at.

In times like this, it’s best to just pretend to admit it.

“Master, what you said is certainly right. It is not easy for ten people to stop one thief.”

“Okay. Now you should listen to adults…”

When I answered that what I said was true, my father-in-law smiled and was delighted.

But this is a frog crouching to jump far.

When the craftsman nodded and was about to continue his speech, I smiled at him and asked.

“But what if the one guarding it isn’t a person?”

“huh?”

The craftsman blinks, not understanding the context of what I’m saying.

He explained with a mischievous smile.

“Of course, it would be difficult for ten people to stop one thief, but what if ten poisons could stop one thief?

Even if you don’t take a single warrior from the family, you still have Cho, Hyang, Bin, Hwayang, Yeondu, Cheongyu, Cheongwol, Yohwa, Seol, Bing, Dongi, and Hongdan, so what’s there to worry about?

“Haven’t you seen, Master? What happened to those Blood Cult guys?”

You saw that the Blood Cult became strawberry juice that suits them, right? Master, if you touch me, the Bremen Town Musicians, no, the Sachon Poison Brigade won’t stay still, right?’

The craftsman, who had flinched as he recalled the horrific scene at that time when I spoke, answered with an embarrassed expression.

“Oh, that, that’s right···.”

The princess will also take care of the problem of going abroad, and there is no need to refute the issue of safety.

The craftsman walked towards the open window and looked out the window as he spoke.

“I can’t help it….”

It was an answer that gave the impression that they had no choice but to grant permission since it was an external event.

But there was a condition.

“Take care on your way. Just.”

“but?”

“Ahem. I heard you met Hwa-eun this time?”

“Yes? Yes···. That, that’s right.”

“I can speak from experience, but a mating is like an introductory martial art between a man and a woman.

If you put in a little more effort into the family heir, we will have less to worry about. When I asked my sister-in-law, she said that if one of the people or beasts connected to the beast heart dies, they will never forget it for the rest of their lives…

“Then wouldn’t it be a big deal for the party?”

“Oh, I see?”

“Yeah, so I’ve been immigrating too. Ahem. The adults are a bit worried too… You know?”

I needed permission to emigrate, and the permission I received had two implications.

-Squeak. Thud.

Late one night, a strange-looking boat was anchored on the river near Dangga.

The ship’s appearance under the moonlight is a bit unusual, with an extended deck.

In addition to the mast, there was a large piece of cloth spread out wide, showing off a unique sight never seen before in the Central Plains.

“Your stomach has changed in a peculiar way?”

“I asked you to do some repairs.”

Seol’s sister asked if the ship was special.

It had a strange appearance, but it was our ship.

He shouted at the man standing on the deck holding a lantern in the darkness.

“It’s been a while, Taoist master.”

“Your Majesty, come in! Please wait a moment. I will lower the plank!”

The plank was lowered and the sailor jumped out of the boat.

He spoke to the Taoist monk, pointing to the boat with a light in the darkness.

“Did everything you asked for get repaired?”

“Yes, of course. I have prepared as Your Majesty said, to take the ladies. I have expanded the deck as you said and prepared a canopy to block out the sunlight. Is that okay?”

The reason our ship ended up like that is because we expanded the deck a bit when we returned from Cheonghae last time because Cheongwol looked so uncomfortable.

Because they couldn’t move their bodies and people couldn’t move to either side of the deck.

And a curtain was also prepared to block the sun from shining down on Cheongwol.

To avoid rain and block out sunlight.

That’s why the ship ended up looking a bit odd.

“Let’s see. Did you make this foldable?”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

Let’s go up and check it out. It looks well prepared.

As I explained to you last time, the ship was in very good repair.

He looked down from the deck and shouted.

“Let’s get on, guys!”

-Tsrrrr!

-Bowl.

-Sia.

The children happily shouted and climbed onto the boat at my words.

The children looked excited to go out on a boat for the first time in a long time.

In my previous life, dogs would have loved to go for walks, but it seems that poisonous creatures and spirits also like to drink.

‘Should I go for a walk from now on?’

The original reason for keeping reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods is that they have the advantage of needing to be walked around, but this looks a little worrisome.

Hwayang and Hongdan, who were riding on the first ship, climbed up first, and Yeondu, the heavenly messenger, lifted Cheongyu, the Four Kings, onto his rolled body and climbed onto the ship.

After that, Seol, Bing, and Dong-i followed on top of Yo-hwa and Bin-i, and Hwa-eun, Seol’s sister, and Oryongsambong jumped onto the boat.

“Welcome, ladies. Miss Cho, it’s been a while. Miss Bin, please come too. This time, don’t bite the deck. I had a hard time fixing it. Haha.”

-Tsurut.

-Tsururut. Tsururut! Tsururut!

“Miss Yohwa, please be considerate of the line this time too.”

-Kissit.

It was when Cheongwol finally approached the boat.

Now that he has somewhat adapted to the children, the boatman happily watches them board the boat and greets them.

The Taoist priest flinched at the sight of Cheongwol approaching the side of the boat and shouted.

“Now, wait a moment! Mr. Cheongwol. Tie the rope tighter and lower the plank further!”

“Yes, Taoist priest!”

“All right!”

At the shout of the boatman, several men got down, made a commotion, tightened the rope a bit more, and lowered the plank.

And after a while.

The Taoist priest shouts to Cheongwol that preparations are complete.

“You can come up, Cheongwol.”

Was it because of his large size? Feeling intimidated, the Taoist monk was using honorifics toward Cheongwol, and with a creaking sound, Cheongwol’s pincers were caught on the deck.

-Squeak.

As Cheongwol’s claws got caught on the boat, the boat tilted just like last time.

Still, it was more stable than last time because I prepared in advance.

The legs are placed one by one starting from the pincers.

It was when the last leg fell off Cheongwol’s body.

-Squeak.

I thought the ship would rock back and forth like last time, but it slowly tilted and settled down.

When I looked at Cheongwol, wondering why it was so stable, I saw that Cheongwol was slowly shifting its center of gravity while stretching its tail out.

‘Ah… I’m exhausted.’

Is this really a spirit?

It will slowly shift its center of gravity by stretching out its heavy tail.

It seemed that I was not the only one who was moved, and the voices of the boatmen continued to exclaim in admiration.

“Ohhh!”

“That’s great!”

Cheongwol sat down in her seat and bashfully looked embarrassed, as if she was happy about the compliment.

-Croucher. “What, it’s not that big of a deal, but you’re making a fuss.”

When everyone was on board, the boatmen removed the planks and pulled up the anchor.

When the boatmen had finished their work, the boatman asked.

“Master Xiaolong, then shall we go to Mount Putuo in the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province?”

It was definitely the destination, but there was a place we had to stop first.

“No. Let’s go to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River first. I need to meet with Blood Wind Sand Worker Lee Tae.”

“Okay. Then, we will head straight to the Jang Gang Sap Hap. Let’s go!”

The boatmen move around and adjust the sails as the captain calls out to them.

While everyone was busy moving, Seol Nui and Hwa Eun came and asked.

“Little Dragon, why are you there?”

“So-ryong, why is it here?”

Itaewon seemed curious as to why he was going to meet her even though he hadn’t told her in advance.

“Oh, I asked you to let me know if there was any information about poison or spirits, but I haven’t heard anything recently. I’m going to give these guys a beating.”

“aha.”

“We definitely need to stop by and establish some discipline.”

The boat quickly rode the waves to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

I didn’t raise my family flag because I was afraid that the Odukmun or Blood Cult would come after me, but as expected, Lee Tae’s subordinates approached me as soon as I entered the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

The guys came over with gleeful expressions, intending to rob us, but then they were terrified when they saw me and the kids.

“Ugh! Little, little dragon!”

“Do you know why I came here? I want you to call Itae.”

“Now, just wait a minute!”

Itae appeared a while later.

As soon as the guy got on the boat, he started making excuses, wondering if he was going to get in trouble.

“There is a reason why I couldn’t give you the link, Mr. Soryong!”

“Okay, so let me hear the reason?”

-Tsururut! “Okay, shall we listen?”

-Kissit.

When I get annoyed, the grass and the fairy get annoyed too.

Itae swallowed hard and then said.

“Poetry, in fact… because a person who knew how to write died….”

“?”

This can’t be happening.

I was wondering why this guy hadn’t contacted me in a while, and it turns out that not long after we left, a guy I knew suddenly passed away.

The high illiteracy rate in the Central Plains is something I knew even in my previous life.

I couldn’t even get angry and decided to just collect information.

“Well then, we should send someone from our side now. Anyway, is there any information coming in?”

“Yes, sir!”

He was angry, but he got the information. He was very lucky.

“Well then, tell me.”

“Understood, Little Dragon! First of all, there is information that in a small village in Xiong County, Hebei, all the villagers are suffering from anemia. There is also a rumor that near Taishan Mountain in the Yellow River, there is a rock that occasionally rises from the water!”

“hmm···.”

I felt like I should give him a piece of my mind.

The villagers are suffering from anemia, which seems to be a disease, and it is rising from the water? It could be seen that way depending on the water level.

When I asked them to gather information that could suggest that it was a poisonous or spiritual substance, it seemed like they only collected garbage information.

***

It was decided that Itaewon would send people periodically from the Tang family to collect information, and the journey continued.

The princess was not in Putuo, but in Hangzhou. When she met me, she asked with a very expectant expression.

“It’s nothing special, but pirates are running wild here, so could we possibly get some help from the poisonous creatures of the Small Group?

“The damage to fishermen and merchants is severe, but their boats are so fast that it is impossible to catch them.”

I wondered what he wanted, and it was to help suppress pirates.

“Oh, you mean we have to catch pirates?”

“Yes, since they are pirates who operate based in the area, they can move with us.”

“If that’s the case, then of course we should help. From now on, we’ll have to call pirates by a different name.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

The princess asked what kind of nonsense that was.

But it really should have been called by a different name.

When they have a ship, we call them pirates, but when they lose their ship on the sea, we call them fish food.

At the princess’s question, she smiled as she looked at the now grown Yeondoo and Cho.

‘Which should I use, anti-ship missiles or torpedoes?’
