Episode 558: Hyang-hang

“Hey, did you get it done?”

“Young-Young, you can’t do it now!”

Soso’s awkward answer followed Yeong-yeong’s question heard through the sand dust.

And after a while, the sand dust cleared to reveal the figure of Hwangbo Gaju, lying diagonally in the sand with only his hands and feet sticking out, twenty or thirty meters behind him.

The place where Garyeon had been was still too dusty to see, but a long trail in the sand showed how he had landed.

It felt like I was hit once and fell diagonally to the ground.

Although Soso had said that he shouldn’t be killed, it felt like he had been buried along with the execution.

Because it was buried in the sand and barely moved.

The first thought that came to mind when I saw that sight was, since it had already come to this, I might as well just change my residence.

If you’re dead, there’s nothing you can do about it.

‘Okay, let’s just change the subject while we’re at it!’

I thought that since I was the son-in-law of the Odae family, it would be better to just let my son succeed me.

At that moment, the wind blew and swept away the sand and dust, and I could hear my wives’ cries from the side.

“Poor thing!”

When he turned his head, he saw Cheong-i, who had jumped into the scattering sand and dust, pressing down on Garyeon-i’s fist diagonally toward the ground.

And a huge fan-shaped pit spread out before it.

If it had hit him directly, it would have either evaporated or flown away several kilometers instead of twenty or thirty meters, but it seemed like Cheong-i had intervened and saved someone’s life, as it maintained its shape.

“Poor thing!”

It seemed like I had to take Hwangbo Gaju out, but as soon as I ran to Garyeon, she buried her face in Cheong’s shoulder and collapsed.

I feel like I’ve reached my limit.

Let’s take a look at the face first. It doesn’t look like the nose bone is broken or anything, but the face is still a mess.

The dark-skinned girl’s face had become even darker, with bruises and swelling here and there.

“Poor thing, are you okay? What the hell. Look at this face. Are your teeth broken?”

“It’s okay. I think he just fainted. I need to check his face more, so I’ll ask Unnie Mimi to call the Medicine King.”

“Okay, I’ll tell you my story! Mimi!”

When Cheong-i said that she needed to call a paramedic, she looked for Mimi first.

Then, what was heard was Yeong-yeong’s answer.

The answer was that he had already run to call the Medicine King before he could speak.

“Sister, he already ran!”

“That’s fortunate.”

Even though it was inevitable that he would be heavier than others, he would still want to be in my arms more than Cheong.

As soon as he received Garyeon from Cheong-i and held her in his arms, a shadow began to form on his face.

When I turned my head, the first thing I saw was the outline of a man blocking the sun.

The man’s shoulders were shaking.

And then a low voice is heard.

“She was more worthy of the name Hwangbo than anyone else, and she was more like my daughter than anyone else.”

The master of the sword knelt down on one knee in front of me and stroked Garyeon’s forehead.

And after a while he said to me.

“Go to the Gase spot. Let’s go and lay him down. I felt sorry for my son, and since Ga-ryeon’s will was too strong, I left him alone, but I won’t let either of you act this way in the future.

“No matter what anyone says, you are my daughter. I feel bad about seeing you.”

Just like the King of Fighters, I couldn’t actively stop him when he said he would fight for me, so I had nothing to say.

“no.”

“Then let’s move quickly.”

“Let’s do that.”

It was the moment when I lifted Garyeoni up because I had to move Garyeoni quickly as the craftsman said.

Ticklish back of the head.

I couldn’t help but ask about the ticklish back of my head.

“What about you, brother?”

His children, who were supposed to look after Hwangbo Gaju, were still delivering, so no one followed them to the sandy beach.

I wish he had just died like that, but I couldn’t just leave him like that because he was a guest.

So, as I looked towards the head of the Hwangbo family, who was now coming to his senses and squirming, twenty or thirty meters away, the king of the swordsmen laughed and said.

“Huh, I guess he’ll come when he wakes up. Let’s go.”

What can I do if his father just leaves him alone?

‘Yeah, whatever. Whether you die or not.’

Without caring whether the head of the Hwangbo family woke up or not, he carried Ga-ryeon in his arms like a princess and headed to the spot.

“Sir, may I help you?”

Seeing her struggling, Cheong-i asked if she could help, but how could she entrust someone else with the female knight who fought for the three characters of the manly Ryu Cheong’s name?

Since it was a situation where all wishes were granted, I had to save up my stamina for tonight, but since I was low on stamina, I had to move to the spot even if I took two recovery pills today and couldn’t get out of bed tomorrow.

“No. You said you would fight for me, so I should repay you for your kindness.”

The spot that arrived like that.

When we arrived at the spot, Mimi and Yakwang were already there.

It feels like they arrived earlier than us because they spread their wings as soon as they heard.

First, I laid Garyeoni down in my room, and the Medicine King came and examined Garyeoni.

“What do you think, Medicine King?”

“Will the King of Medicine cure you?”

“What do you think, Your Majesty?”

The room was bustling with all the craftsmen, mothers-in-law, and even the Poison King.

The face of the child, who was only a month away from getting married, was injured, so everyone seemed very worried, even though it was not their child.

Adults ask with more worried faces than me.

The medicine king frowned at their question and said:

“No, how could you make such a face of a child whose wedding is not far away! I’ll have to use the Chungking Gold Needle Technique. I’ll make everyone step back and remove the swelling from his face.”

Acupuncture unfolds from the hands of the King of Medicine who made us retreat.

Every time he opened his hand, the golden needles began to pierce Garyeon’s face without mercy.

“Will it be okay? Gaga?”

“The old man, the pharmacist, is checking on you, so you’ll be fine.”

I thought that the Junggyeonggeumchimdo method was only used to kill people, and thinking back to what happened during the Qing Dynasty, I wondered if there would be any side effects, but now the only person I could trust was the Yakwang.

Let’s wait a moment. Strangely enough, the swelling slowly subsides.

The pharmacist examined the needle and said.

“A bruise is caused by blood clots forming in the affected area. I used my saliva to remove the clots and blocked the blood vessels to prevent blood from pooling. So, recovery will be quick. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re fine by the wedding.”

The Yakwang who became capable as a Gwansi after holding military discipline once last time.

I held his hand tightly and expressed my gratitude.

“Thank you, sir.”

Then, at the end of the words, “It’s okay,” I heard a word of regret.

“No. I’m glad I could help. By the way, seeing everyone flocking to you to give you their daughters, I feel a little sorry. It’s about forming a blood relationship with the royal family, but I don’t have a granddaughter.”

The Medicine King seemed to regret that he alone could not form a blood relationship.

Jin-i and I, who will become public figures, are sworn brothers.

In the Central Plains, sworn brothers have great significance, but they are usually limited to two-person relationships.

Because blood ties continue from child to child.

“If there is a great law that can change a person’s gender to that of a woman, I would like to change this Jin’s gender to that of a woman. I heard there used to be something like that?

Anyway, the head of the Hwangbo family created a child who would become the wife of a national prince like this, and how is he going to deal with the aftermath···.”

‘No, that’s a bit···.’

The pharmacist who makes some rather dangerous remarks.

As I was sweating profusely at his words, I heard a surprised man’s voice from the door.

“Old, national?”

When everyone looked at the entrance to the room at the sound of someone’s surprised voice, there was the head of the Hwangbo family standing there with a blank expression on his face, wearing a tattered, beggar-like top.

There was something odd about his surprised expression.

The fact that I was becoming a citizen of the country was like hearing it for the first time.

Clearly, it must have been Jegal Jang-in or Namgung Jang-in, the head of the Se-ga-hoe, who gave the order.

“What? What’s with that expression of hearing it for the first time? You’re also the head of the family of the wife’s family. You must have heard that Cheongun became the national prince.”

Hwangbo Gaju’s eyes grew even bigger as the Medicine King glared at him.

He looked at me in disbelief.

“What? Is this really the first time you’re hearing this? Didn’t you tell me the stories?”

No, if I had sent a letter and included a link, I would have definitely talked about it, but this is the first time I’ve heard of it.

When he looked at his master, Zhuge Liang said as if it was only natural.

“Well, I can’t write a letter and send that kind of story, but of course, the head of the Segahoe, Namgung Gaju, would be the one to tell such an important story…”

At those words, all eyes turned towards Namgung Gaju.

Namgung Jang-in said with a surprised expression.

“I, I couldn’t write such an important matter down in a letter, and even though I am the head of the Sejogahoe, isn’t the head of the Triad the head of the Jegal family? This isn’t a Sejoga matter, it’s a Triad matter, so of course Jegal family will talk about it···.”

Yeah, it was definitely a bit weird.

No matter how angry I am at my father, I would beat up my wife, who is about to become a public servant. Only a crazy person would do that.

It was an action that I would never have done if I had known that I was a public servant.

And the reason was that the signatures of the craftsmen who had to be told did not seem to match.

Is there something within us that made me think he would naturally know that I would become a nationalist?

First, I asked the head of the Hwangbo family.

“Whew… Are you saying that you really didn’t know that this Ryu Cheong-un would become the Duke of Daesong? Brother?”

The head of the Hwangbo family quickly became polite, whether it was because of the effectiveness of Ga-Ryeon’s true education or because I was a candidate for the national anthem.

He said, bowing his head as politely as possible.

“Fuck, brother-in-law, how could that be? If I had known, I would have been more careful. Of course. I, I am truly sorry.”

But after hearing the answer, I wondered if I would have received such an apology if I had not been a member of the Communist Party, so I asked back.

“It makes me wonder if I would have received this kind of apology if I had not been a citizen of the country.”

Then, Hwangbo Gaju shouted with surprised eyes, waving both hands.

“Oh, no! That’s because my eyes rolled back when I heard what Father said earlier. Well, I still think I went too far, so I came to apologize. Our family doesn’t hold grudges. We admit our mistakes quickly.”

Those who say there is no aftertaste are truly bad people.

The type of people who hurt the other person’s feelings and then think that apologizing will be the end of it.

He shouted with a surprised expression as I glared at him sharply.

“And if you had intended to do so from the beginning, why did you come all the way here with my gift?

“I didn’t intend to do this from the beginning. Seriously, really. As you can see from the gifts, they are the best! Seriously! Our family would rather die than lie!”

He said with a slightly surprised expression after hearing his voice.

“Huh? Loud?”

‘I was just startled by that loud noise.’

Then, the head of the Hwangbo family was startled, covered his mouth, and spoke in a whisper.

[Please, trust me!]

He answered his questions in a standard manner.

“Are you whispering love to me now?”

The head of the Hwangbo family, who is at a loss as to what to do with my answer.

When he made a face as if to ask what he should do about the fact that he was at a loss, he asked back in a quiet voice.

“But why did you hit the face so hard, leaving everything else aside? The child you are going to marry soon.”

Aside from everything else, I was curious as to why he focused on hitting only the woman’s face.

“That, that···.”

“If you don’t tell me the truth, I don’t know where my anger will be directed. Should I go to the Emperor and prostrate myself and cry out…”

The head of the Hwangbo family, who had been hesitating at my question, answered with a surprised expression.

“When, there was no place to hit!”

‘What does this mean?’

Although Garyeon was a cute child who couldn’t be hit, that only applies to me.

When I looked at him with an expression asking me to explain the Hwangbo family’s origins, he scratched his head and answered.

“Wow, at first I just wanted to knock her out and finish her off, so I hit her in the jaw. Didn’t you see that? But when I tried to hit her somewhere else, there was nowhere to hit. At the end, I extended my fist to knock her out, but I couldn’t even hit her in the stomach, which was shameful, so I kept aiming for her jaw, but that kid kept avoiding her head at the end, trying to avoid knocking her out… My, my chest is going to, I think it’s going to burst….”

Look at the poor girl lying on the bed, the mountain range towering over her even as she lies down.

It’s a statement that somehow makes sense.

But, being convinced did not mean forgiveness, so he looked at Master Zhuge Liang and said.

“Except for Master Zhuge and Master Kwon Wang, the others from the Hwangbo clan are associate members of the Samhaphoe. We will wait and see whether we can accept them as full members or not. The others will have to teach us more.

And I will keep a close eye on the Hwangbo family.”

‘I’ll be watching you from now on. Just for ten years?’

Hwangbo Gaju nodded quickly at my words.

***

While Hwangbo Gaju was receiving thorough mental training from other craftsmen.

The medicine king came to me and told me what to be careful of.

“I’ve blocked the acupuncture points, so don’t touch my face. And to prevent the acupuncture points I’ve blocked with my internal energy, you won’t be able to exert any force for a few days.”

“Okay, I understand. Is there anything else I should be careful about?”

“Yeah, just be careful not to touch your face. Be careful with the shaving as well. Oh, and it’s okay to touch your lips, so don’t worry.”

“yes?”

The medicine king chuckled at my question.

He tapped my shoulder and spoke softly.

[You can’t use your internal energy. For a few days. I heard from my friend Jin that he’s having a hard time these days?]

“!”

Only then did I realize what he meant.

Not being able to use my internal energy meant that I could show my ‘dignity’ as a man to Ga-ryeon, who had promised to grant all her wishes.

Since Jialian is a person who would not turn down a visit just because her face hurts a little, I promised her that I would definitely show her around Hong Kong tonight.
