Episode 100. Underwater War (4)

At the same time, at the summit of Yeongdansan Mountain.

Jang Ja-myeong said in a trembling voice.

“It feels a bit creepy. I also feel a strange sense of murder.”

“Isn’t that the case with all mountains? By the way, did you dig up all the herbs that my lord mentioned?”

When Imoo-myeong asked, Jang Ja-myeong nodded.

“Yes, I have collected them all. All the ingredients needed to make the medicine you mentioned are here.”

When Jang Ja-myeong pointed to the bundle behind him, Imoo-myeong nodded.

Then, as if he remembered something, he took out a dagger from his bosom.

Sigh.

Imoo-myeong’s dagger, bathed in moonlight, seemed as if it could even cut down falling leaves.

Jang Ja-myeong was surprised at the sight and asked.

“Why are you doing this? Is it my fault… … .”

Imoo-myeong walked slowly.

Thud thud.

In an unexpected situation, Jang Ja-myeong stepped back and shouted.

“Are you a murderer? Did the Four Princes order you to do so?”

At that shout, Imoo-myeong looked at Jang Ja-myeong as if he found it absurd.

However, the dagger in his right hand remained the same.

Jang Ja-myeong shouted.

“Save me, this guard!”

“There is some misunderstanding… … .”

Before Imoo-myeong could finish speaking, Jang Ja-myeong stepped back and shouted.

“Just let me live. I did everything that Lord Sa told me to do, but how can you call me a murderer?”

Now I’m backed up to the wall where I left my luggage.

But Imoo-myeong didn’t stop.

Jang Ja-myeong, who was a scholar, closed his eyes tightly and shouted.

“Oh, you devil!”

Imoo-myeong tilted his head at those words.

What on earth does Jang Ja-myeong think of his lord, Han Bin, that he has such doubts about him?

Imoo-myeong barely managed to hold back a sigh.

To him, Hanbin was a friend before he was a lord.

Hanbin was the only friend who could communicate with a sword.

What came to mind when I met Hanbin was the Bai Ya Jie Xian (伯牙絶絃).

It is a story about a master of the geomungo named Baek-ah and his friend Jong-ja-gi.

One day, Imoo-myeong asked Hanbin who was Baek-ah and who was Jong-ja-gi.

At that time, Hanbin said that it didn’t matter who was Jongjagi and who was Baek-ah. He said that if they knew each other’s hearts through the sword, that would be all.

That conversation still lingered in Imoo-myeong’s heart.

But why does Jang Ja-myeong react like that?

Isn’t it as if you think of Hanbin as a devil?

As an anonymous person, I couldn’t understand it.

Lee Woo-myung, who was looking at Jang Ja-myung who had his eyes closed as if he couldn’t believe it, opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to harm Congressman Jang.”

At those words, Jang Ja-myeong opened his eyes.

“Then why on earth… … .”

Imoo-myeong silently took out a mirror from the luggage placed in the corner.

Imoo-myeong, whose face was reflected in the mirror, began to shave his beard with a dagger.

Jang Ja-myeong sighed in relief once he realized that the dagger was not pointed at him.

“phew.”

For a moment, Jang Ja-myeong had a question in his mind.

In this mountain.

And on this night when the moon is shining brightly.

Why are you shaving your beard out of the blue when you don’t have a wife to show your face to?

I couldn’t understand it at all. However, I couldn’t just approach Imoo-myeong, who was holding a dagger.

Jang Ja-myeong took a step back and asked cautiously.

“Why are you doing that?”

“… … .”

Imoo-myeong did not answer Jang Ja-myeong’s questions.

Swish. Swish.

He simply shaved his beard with a sharp dagger without saying a word.

Sigh.

As Imoo-myeong’s bare face began to be revealed in the moonlight, Jang Ja-myeong tilted his head further.

Imoo-myeong took out a set of clothes from his luggage without paying attention to Jang Ja-myeong’s gaze.

It was a red uniform.

Jang Ja-myeong tilted his head again this time. The red uniform was exactly the same as Han Bin’s.

When Imoo-myeong changed into a red martial arts uniform, Jang Ja-myeong’s eyes widened.

“omg!”

The surprised Jang Ja-myeong approached Imoo-myeong.

Imoo-myeong smiled at that sight.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Doesn’t it seem too much like Prince Sa? Are you by any chance the real Prince Sa?”

“Haha, that’s what you hear when you wear similar clothes.”

“So, are you really saying this is an escort?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But why did you change into a red uniform?”

“This is also an order from my lord.”

“Then, was it also the order of the Four Princes that you came to Cheonsujang and grew a beard?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then, did you think about the mission you would be given today from the beginning?”

Jang Ja-myeong’s eyes grew wide.

When Imoo-myeong first came, there was a story that he was similar to Sa-gong-ja.

It was more similar when he was wearing regular light clothing rather than the military uniform of Hanam Jeongga.

Come to think of it, Imoo-myeong started growing a beard a long time before this incident began.

The story that he resembled the Four Great Princes after growing a beard was forgotten.

Jang Ja-myeong’s eyes trembled.

It all happened before I was assigned this mission.

If that’s the case, then it means that Prince Hanbin knew exactly what was going to happen this time.

Jang Ja-myeong continued to mutter to himself without realizing it.

“Everything was in the palm of Buddha’s hand!”

Lee Mu-myeong tilted his head at Jang Ja-myeong’s lament.

Didn’t you call your lord Hanbin a devil?

Why don’t you suddenly call him Buddha?

I was very worried about Jang Ja-myeong’s mental state.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

As Jang Ja-myeong came to his senses and took a deep breath, Lee Mu-myeong took out a bamboo container filled with water from his luggage.

“Eat this and come to your senses.”

“thank you.”

Jang Ja-myeong said, drinking all the water from the bamboo tube.

“Now that I look at it, it’s very similar to the Four Princes.”

“Haha, that’s right. When I wore similar clothes to the street before, people didn’t recognize me. But if you look closely, there are quite a few differences. Haha.”

When Imoo-myeong pointed to his own face and laughed, Jang Ja-myeong, whose tension had eased, also laughed along.

“Haha. Yes, that’s right. They are similar, but there are also differences. The most noticeable one is that the escort of Imoo-myeong is much more handsome than Sa Gong-ja.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Ja-myeong raised his thumb.

Then two shadows appeared from behind.

Jang Ja-myeong, who sensed the presence of a person, turned his head hurriedly.

And then he screamed.

“omg.”

That was because none other than Hanbin was there smiling brightly.

Hanbin slowly approached Jang Ja-myeong with a bright smile on his face.

“Rep. Jang, I heard some strange things being said from afar. What’s going on?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I was praising the character of the Lord Sa. As you can see from my mouth, I’m worn out now.”

“… … .”

As Hanbin looked on silently, Jang Ja-myeong quickly waved his hand.

“I have worn out my mouth from praising Confucius.”

As Jang Ja-myeong laughed brightly, Lee Mu-myeong, who was next to him, looked up at the sky.

It was an adaptability that seemed like it could survive even if dropped in the middle of the sea in Haenam.

Jang Ja-myeong, who had just misunderstood himself and was taking a step back, was nowhere to be found.

When Imoo-myeong was looking at Jang Ja-myeong with a shocked expression, Han-bin said.

“Thank you for your hard work, Representative Jang.”

Hanbin held his two hands tightly with a bright face.

A strange sense of uneasiness ran up Jang Ja-myeong’s spine at the touch of those warm hands.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“I heard that all the herbs have been harvested.”

“when…….”

“I heard you from behind earlier. You really worked hard.”

At Hanbin’s words, Jang Ja-myeong turned into a stone statue.

If you heard the story about picking all the herbs, didn’t you also hear the conversation that followed?

As Jang Ja-myeong stood there blankly, Han Bin continued speaking.

“Well, I know exactly what Representative Jang thinks of me.”

“omg.”

Jang Ja-myeong opened his mouth wide.

Then Seolhwa intervened.

“Master, I think it’s time.”

“Oh, right.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin nonchalantly put on the clothes that Imoo-myeong had just taken off over his current clothes.

Still, the clothes fit Hanbin like a perfectly tailored suit.

Jang Ja-myeong had to be surprised again at this point.

Hanbin, who had changed his clothes, handed a note to Imoo-myeong and Jang Ja-myeong.

“This is the next mission.”

“Yes, I understand, my lord.”

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

When Jang Ja-myeong tried to open it, Han Bin stopped him.

“Please read it later.”

“When?”

“Seolhwa will teach you that.”

Hanbin pointed to Seolhwa with a nod.

Seolhwa, who was receiving attention, smiled brightly and hit her chest.

“From now on, you can come down the mountain with me.”

“Follow me?”

When Jang Ja-myeong tilted his head, Seol-hwa answered.

“Yes, do you believe in Confucius?”

“That may be true, but… … .”

“Confucius, you are the one who trusts me the most. Please follow me.”

“No matter what… … .”

Jang Ja-myeong looked at Han-bin, trailing off.

Hanbin smiled and pointed at Seolhwa again.

“At night, there is no one with as much night vision as Seolhwa, so just follow Seolhwa. And when you reach your destination, do as I say. Got it?”

Jang Ja-myeong reluctantly nodded at Han Bin’s words.

I couldn’t figure out how the cute maid Seolhwa could guide me along the mountain path at this hour of the night.

At that time, Hanbin asked Imoo-myeong.

“Hey, did you take good care of the Hancheol train?”

“yes.”

When Imoo-myeong took out a box of iron from his luggage, Han-bin asked again.

“Did you keep it so that the seal was not damaged?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Imoo-myeong lifted the Hancheol box, showed it to Hanbin, and handed it over to him, showing him the part sealed with red wax.

Hanbin received it.

“Yes, thank you.”

Seolhwa clicked her tongue at the sight.

This is because Seol-hwa also learned for the first time that what she had just received was the real Hancheol chest that Madam Jeong-hwa had given her.

* * *

After a while.

They started to descend Mt. Yeongdan.

It was difficult to ride the mountain path relying only on moonlight.

But the story that went ahead was unstoppable.

Swish, swish.

Her movements were like those of a wild beast.

Jang Ja-myeong thought that she was from a slash-and-burn farming family. He thought that if she was a slash-and-burn farming family who lived in the mountains and cultivated their fields, she would be able to climb the mountain like this.

Of course, this was Jang Ja-myeong’s idea.

Of course, Imoo-myeong was also surprised.

In the case of high-level experts, they could judge the location of objects just by feeling.

Still, I couldn’t get through the darkness as naturally as Seolhwa.

Imoo-myeong could vaguely feel that Seol-hwa was not a child who had lived an ordinary life.

That was when.

The sound of weapons clashing was heard from somewhere.

Buck! Buck!

“Hand it over!”

“No, it’s my stuff!”

Judging from the sounds I could hear around me, it seemed like a war had broken out.

Seolhwa avoided the place without any problem and made her way there.

Jang Ja-myeong, who followed behind, shrugged his shoulders.

Buck! Buck!

Again the sound of the pistol echoed across the mountainside.

In Jang Ja-myeong’s opinion, this was no ordinary matter.

Fighting scenes unfold all over the mountain path.

Jang Ja-myeong thought that getting out of this place would be like trying to reach for a star in the sky.

After walking for a while, Jang Ja-myeong began to have doubts.

Because even though the sound of the machine gun was heard, we never encountered the enemy.

Jang Ja-myeong looked at Seol-hwa with eyes full of suspicion.

At that moment, the previous story spoke quietly.

“I’ll speed it up a little bit.”

Jang Ja-myeong’s expression changed at that voice.

* * *

Meanwhile, Hanbin, who was left alone on the summit of Yeongdansan Mountain, pulled out the moon-ah on his waist.

Srrrrung!

The moon-lit Wol-ah revealed her swordsmanship.

Hanbin shouted softly towards Wol-ah.

“Let’s have fun today.”

His smile was brighter than ever.

Now it’s time to collect the knots.

Thud. Thud.

Hanbin looked at the mountainside, calming his pounding heart.

I instinctively felt that there were many stray dogs among the Sapa’s unmanned forces that had just gathered.
