Chapter 65
Episode 65. If you bring it, it will be solved. As soon as
Lee Se-chang, the ark of Baekse Sangbang, met Lee Yeon-bok, the acting manager, he brought up a story he had heard from Yu Ji-sang, the ark of Geonhwa Sangbang.
As soon as he heard that Suryongchae Chaeju was made, Lee Yeon-bok’s face hardened.
“Come to think of it, Lord Ark, there is still no word from one of the troupes that departed from Jeongju four days ago. I was going to wait until tomorrow, but I guess I’ll have to check Waryongjang first.”
The wrinkles on Lee Se-chang’s forehead deepened.
If you are coming from Jeongju, you must pass through the territory of Guryongchae. If Chaeju’s words were true, there might have been an accident at Guryongchae.
“I’ll have to grab some rice wine and ask.”
The two of them immediately got into the carriage above and ran to the horse.
Yeon Mu-sang and Yeon Moo-myeong accompanied Lee Se-chang and Lee Yeon-bok to escort them.
It takes about an hour (two hours) to speak.
Lee Se-chang, who had been silently looking out the window, turned his head toward the haze on the other side.
“Do you know what is going on between Waryongjang and the thieves of Green Forest?”
“I do not know.”
“Have you been to Waryongjang recently?”
“I went 15 days ago and I am still here. What’s going on?”
“ha! In Waryongjang… No. You will find out soon.”
Lee Se-chang gnashed his teeth inside.
Seeing that even the Yeons in the Baekse Sangbang do not know, it seems that he made up his mind and hid it.
Lee Yeon-bok said to Lee Se-chang, who was losing his anger.
“Lord Ark, there are two caravans coming to Luoyang. One has to pass Guryongchae, the other Obongsanchae and Jeokpungchae.”
“I’m going crazy.”
Even if only one upper part is destroyed, there will be a hole in the finances for about three years.
At least six years for two. It is said that the loss must be compensated for six years.
I just shrank to leap to the top of the giant, but looking at it, it looks like I’m going to sit down like this.
‘I just want this woman in Baekmiju…’
Lee Se-chang, who was sighing, hurriedly got off the carriage as soon as it arrived at Waryongjang.
As soon as I saw Baek Mi-joo’s face, the emotions I had been suppressing for a while exploded.
“Look! Today, I met Yu Bang-joo from the geonhwa store and heard the sound of the sky falling.
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”
“What are you talking about! Are you asking because you don’t know? Something happened between Green Forest Sanchae and Waryongjang! Why the hell is Suryongchae Chaeju saying such a thing all of a sudden!”
Baek Mi-joo was heartbroken, but she refrained from pretending.
“Ark, please speak calmly. What do you think Suryongchae Chaeju said?”
“It’s grubby at the drying room. From now on, the corps that use Waryongjang’s warriors as escorts cannot pass through the green area. It is assumed that there was even an order from the general patrol to plunder. Is it possible without a big collision between Waryongjang and Green Forest? Come on, let’s hear an excuse.”
“What are you talking about…”
“What are you talking about? Are you going to keep sticking out your flippers? The top one that should have arrived yesterday is now missing! There is also a guild that is going to Obongsan right now. Are you going to take responsibility if something happens on top of these two?”
“Two tops?”
Baek Mi-joo was completely out of his mind right now.
Is it really going as the thief of Mount Obong said?
Lee Se-chang, who had a hard time dealing with people, read something from Baek Mi-joo’s expression at once.
“come! When I looked at the face, there was something! What is it? What the hell happened between Waryongjang and Nokrim? I don’t know what to do to take measures! I will never forgive you if you keep telling lies!”
Baek Mi-ju, hesitating, sighed for the ground to disappear.
“You have eyes to see, so please eat inside. I will tell you in detail what I am curious about.”
“Good. Take the lead.”
Baek Mi-joo guided Lee Se-chang and Lee Yeon-bok to the audience.
“ha! Have you two ever heard of the name of Luoyang Five Gorges?”
Lee Se-chang and Lee Yeon-bok shook their heads at Baek Mi-joo’s sudden words.
Wouldn’t you know if it’s a famous martial artist?
It was not a name that would be heard even to the position of the ark and the acting chief of the upper direction.
“It’s a meeting created by the children of five military officers in Luoyang to play together.”
“Tsk! What do you say it has to do with greening?”
Lee Se-chang bruised as if to get to the point quickly.
“The children went out to Gangho despite the opposition of their families. Then, there was a fight with Obong Sanchae, and everyone was taken hostage.”
“So?”
“My daughter was also one of the Luoyang Five Gorges. I was held hostage at Mount Obong.”
Lee Se-chang, who had been grumbling, listened quietly when the story of the green forest came out.
“However, a thief from Mount Obong started harassing my daughter. As a ransom, other military officers paid 1,200 nyang, but Waryongjang had to pay a whopping 1,000 nyang.”
“omg! Have you got a thousand nyang?”
Lee Se-chang, who clearly knew the financial situation of Waryongjang, must have been curious about it even in the midst of this.
“Fortunately, one of Luoyang Wuxia’s families helped me. I thought it would end like that…. My daughter came and said that. The thief threatened to ruin Waryongjang. When I heard that, I couldn’t believe it. There is no Eun-won between Waryongjang and Green Forest, but that can’t be the case. That’s why I thought the thief said it out of anger.”
“…”
Lee Se-chang and Lee Yeon-bok looked at Baek Mi-joo with blank faces.
If what she said was true, it would be difficult to hold Waryongjang accountable.
Lee Yeon-bok asked as if to confirm.
“Aside from that, there was nothing that could collide with the greenery, right? Think carefully.”
“Not at all. As you know, Waryongjang has never been a strong player before. The Blue Dragon and White Tigers are all in the upper world. If there had been a collision with the green forest, it would have gone into the ears of the ark and the acting manager first.”
Since her words were true, Lee Se-chang and Lee Yeon-bok could not refute them.
Lee Se-chang, who was thinking deeply about something, opened his mouth.
“As a waryongjang, it would have been like being struck by lightning while sleeping, but now that it’s like this, what can I do? I have to work through it.”
“Couldn’t the Merchant be delayed due to other things? To be honest, I still can’t believe it.”
“First of all, I gave instructions to the other corps to bypass the green forest unconditionally. I am concerned about the guild that started from Jeongju and Top, but we will only know when they come.”
Lee Won-bok, who was listening, added an explanation.
“The guild from Zhengzhou should have arrived yesterday, but there is no news yet. The lower part of the tower will pass Obong Sanchae within a few days…”
Baek Mi-joo’s face hardened at that moment.
“I don’t know about Jeongju, but Obongsanchae might interfere with the guild. Can’t we send a message to the top of the tower to go the other way? Oh, must it be too late…”
Lee Se-chang said, pressing his temple gently with his left hand.
“You are late. It would have been nice if I had heard such a thing a few days earlier… Aside from the greening of other areas, why didn’t you tell me about Obong Sanchae?”
Lee Se-chang glared at Baek Mi-joo.
At least I was able to avoid Obong sanchae, but I didn’t even have a chance to do that.
“As I said… I thought the thief threatened him out of anger.”
“shit!”
Lee Se-chang hit the table with a ‘bang’ sound.
For a while, the three of them said nothing.
Sechang Lee suddenly asked.
“Isn’t there something unspeakable between your daughter and Nokrim Island?”
He thought that the relationship between the speaker and the thief was broken because Waryongjang was against it.
It doesn’t make sense that the woman had been held in the green forest for a long time and nothing happened to the thief.
In an instant, Baek Mi-ju jumped up.
“It never happens! If you knew Luoyang Wuxia’s family, you wouldn’t think that way. The thieves also took Luoyang Wuxia hostage, but they did not treat it carelessly.”
“How on earth is Luoyang Wuxia’s family going to be like?”
“In addition to our children, the children of Palseonmun, Daeyeonmun, Chilyangmun, and Uicheonmun are included.”
“What if it was Uicheonmun’s child?”
“that’s right. Lee So-min, the third daughter of Gunja-gum. Now you understand why Green Forest couldn’t do anything to them, right?”
Lee Se-chang raised no more suspicions.
I couldn’t make fun of the matter that even the third daughter of the gunjageom was involved. If you make a mistake and become enemies with Uicheonmun, it will be difficult to make a living in Lukyang.
By the way, taking the daughter of Uicheonmunju hostage?
The more you think about it, the more daring thieves.
“her! I heard that the thieves in Obong Sanchae are docile… It was just a rumor after all.”
Lee Se-chang, who was talking to himself, asked Baek Mi-joo.
“What do you plan to do next, Mrs. White?”
“ha! I don’t know either. I am so shocked right now that my head is blank.”
Lee Se-chang diligently calculated his profit and loss.
It is obvious that the two merchants will return empty-handed, so we must find a way to repair the damage.
The only thing that comes to mind right away is Gonghyun’s song from Samjin Sangbang.
Taking it away will surely cut the time it takes to repair the damage in half.
“Let’s do this.”
When Lee Se-chang let go of his rhyme, Baek Mi-joo’s eyes became lively.
As for her, she had no choice but to accept whatever request Lee Se-chang made.
“Waryongjang has no choice but to let go of the upper tier escort. Then all that’s left is to manage Baekse Sangbang’s workplace. Isn’t it?”
“yes that’s right.”
“As you know, the current workplace is not large enough to put in both the Blue Dragon and White Tiger units. Plus, we’ll have to wait and see, but we’re going to lose the top two. I think you will know even if I don’t tell you that the responsibility lies with Waryongjang.”
Baek Mi-joo nodded weakly.
“In order to recover from the damage suffered by the two merchant companies and to continue to have the warriors of Waryongjang, expansion of the business site is indispensable. If you bring the Gonghyeonyo that Samjin Sangbang has, all problems will be solved.”
When the long story was over, a sigh flowed from Baek Mi-joo’s mouth.
It was like saying, ‘Please shed blood for Waryongjang.’
“ha! I want to do that too, but the situation is not good. How long have you suffered damage in Yeoju, the disciples…” “
If you can’t bring Gonghyeonyo, Waryongjang will have to send the disciples home too. I’m only going to hire ten people to manage the business. Of course, Wolbong intends to pay one hermit.”
Bewildered, Baek Mi-joo’s breathing became rough.
It was said that ten hermits a month were all of his income.
‘Even if I give ten people about 500 gates…’
Waryongjang’s income drops to five hermits.
With that money, you can’t even feed 40 warriors and 50 warriors who have enemies in Waryongjang. In the end, all the disciples that Waryongjang was managing had to be let go. Just thinking about it makes me feel like my stomach is breaking down.
“If Mrs. Baek is like this, everyone has to leave the gate anyway. You raised them with great difficulty until now. Are you going to kill them and give them a dog? If you bring Gonghyeonyo, you can protect the Blue Dragon and White Tigers. What will you do?”
“Haa…”
Baek Mi-joo hesitated, and Lee Yeon-bok helped.
“Since the cause of Mrs. Hundred is on our side, we cannot criticize anyone. Samjin Sangbang brought in the ronin and the number increased, but how can it be compared to Waryongjang?”
Lee Se-chang has a relaxed expression.
He knew that Baek Mi-joo would accept his offer. There is no way that she, who dreams of becoming a Murim family, will release her disciples!
“all right. But right now it’s impossible. Let’s look at the owner’s condition and talk again.”
“Let’s do it. But don’t make me wait too long. If the strikeout increases, we may just give up.”
Lee Se-chang subtly put pressure on his opponent.
Baek Mi-joo, who understood his words, clenched her teeth.
You cannot use it by tying a thread around the waist of a needle just because you are in a hurry. Now, the priority was to treat Hyeonmubaek’s injuries.

Bo Bong-hyun.
Haga Village.
Around sundown, a dignified-looking old man and a beautiful young lady entered the village. It was Uicheon swordsman Lee Ui-jeong and his granddaughter Lee So-min who set out for revenge.
“Grandpa, that mountain is Obongsan. It’s late, so I’m going to stay at an inn today.”
“Heh heh. Let’s do it.”
The two of them moved to a nearby restaurant to appease their hunger.
