Episode 247. Accompanying (1)

Hanbin said after seeing Seolhwa’s expression.

“Don’t worry. If you’re going on a long journey, you should be prepared, right? So, just rest on this floor.”

Hanbin smiled brightly with a kind face.

As Hanbin went up to the third floor, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa faced the food in a place where Jangha could see them at a glance.

Although it was a tea-scented table, Jeomsoi gave Seolhwa and Cheonghwa all the food they wanted.

As a result, Sulwha’s appetizer plate was piled high with sweets.

At that moment, Cheonghwa tilted her head and asked.

“I guess Confucius is really rich.”

“What does that mean?”

“I saw you earlier and it seemed like you were the owner of this place?”

Seolhwa tilted her head at Cheonghwa’s words.

Although Hanbin clearly said that, Seolhwa didn’t listen.

This was because all of his attention was focused on the martial arts of Jeomsoi and the sinister aura coming from the third floor.

“no way…….”

Seolhwa glanced at the stairs leading up to the third floor, her voice trailing off.

I didn’t even know the story of why Hanbin was the owner of this place.

Seolhwa thought she knew everything about Hanbin, so it was disappointing to see her act so ignorant.

Seolhwa was trying to soothe her disappointment with sweets.

Seolhwa added one more thing to the sugar and skewer.

“Cheonghwa, you eat too.”

“I’m fine. I’ll eat this.”

Cheonghwa pointed to her plate.

There was a pile of glutinous rice cakes there.

Cheonghwa recently discovered a snack that suits her taste perfectly.

That was glutinous rice cake.

When I was living in Germany, I would never have thought of eating food like this.

Because you had to induce toxicity in your body by eating poisoned food.

When I first came to Cheonsujang, I didn’t even know what I liked.

It was all thanks to Seol-hwa and the villagers that she discovered that glutinous rice cakes suited her taste.

Although he was only in Cheonsujang for a short time, he always accompanied Seolhwa when she went to the newly opened market to buy sweets.

The snow and blue flowers that came down from Cheonsujang were valuables to the merchants.

Their positions as maids to Jangju and their young appearances grabbed the merchants’ hearts.

When they came down, the merchants offered them various things to eat and gave them trinkets as gifts.

While being treated to various treats unintentionally, Cheonghwa ended up tasting foods she had never eaten before.

All the food was delicious, but the chapssaltteok felt a little different.

No matter how much I ate, I couldn’t get enough.

Even Cheonghwa herself couldn’t figure out why.

I just couldn’t stop craving rice cakes.

Cheonghwa emptied the rice cake in front of her and glanced ahead.

The snow flower’s plate was also neatly emptied.

Seol-hwa, whose eyes met Cheong-hwa’s, nodded quietly.

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Jeomsoi.

“Sir, could you give me a little more candy and rice cake?”

“Okay, just wait a minute.”

Jeomsoi waved his hand with a kind face.

After a while.

Sweat formed on the forehead of Jeomsoi, who came up from downstairs carrying a plate.

In Jeomsoi’s eyes, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa were monsters.

Of course, it wasn’t because of Sulwha’s martial arts skills.

Since Seolhwa didn’t show off her martial arts skills, Jeomsoi couldn’t even dream that her opponent was a master of the highest level.

However, he was troubled by the amount of food that Seolhwa and Cheonghwa had eaten.

One was just shoveling candy into his mouth, while the other was devouring rice cakes in the blink of an eye.

This was already the fifth time that Jeomsoi had carried food like this.

The atmosphere was tense, so I was doing everything they asked me to do, but this wasn’t it.

Candy and rice cakes were not foods sold in Daru.

That’s why I was buying it from a store a little further away and serving it to him.

It was so hard that even Jeomsoi’s internal energy was completely depleted.

Jeomsoi put the plate down in front of Seolhwa and Cheonghwa.

widely!

Then I glanced at the two of them.

Seolhwa quickly spoke after seeing Jeomsoi’s pale face.

“You don’t have to give me any more.”

“Phew, that’s a relief.”

Jeomsoi revealed her true feelings without realizing it.

The story continued.

“You must have had a hard time, sir.”

“No, no.”

“I think you sweat a lot.”

“It’s okay though.”

It was when Jeomsoi waved his hands.

Footsteps echoed on this floor.

Thud. Thud.

The urgent tone of the voice made Jeomsoi tense up and narrow her eyes.

Then the fairy tale said:

“Mister Jeomsoi, I think our group has arrived.”

“party?”

As Jeomsoi tilted his head, someone ran over.

Even when they got to this floor, they didn’t slow down.

They quickly closed the distance like soldiers delivering urgent news and stood in front of Jeomsoi.

The opponents are three men.

They were all martial artists carrying swords.

One was a warrior who could not possibly reach the realm, and the rest were warriors who appeared to be first-class or above.

Jeomsoi gulped at the unexpected situation.

One of them ran towards me with something in his hand.

For a moment, Jeomsoi hesitated whether he should stop them.

However, at the man’s next words, Jeomsoi stopped moving.

“Sulwha, I found out! I found out!”

“Joho Orabeoni, have you finally figured it out?”

Seol-hwa enjoyed it as if it were her own work and even clapped her hands.

Clap, clap.

Cheonghwa, who was next to him, also clapped her hands in joy.

At that sight, Jeomsoi stepped back as if the tension in his body had been released.

Seolhwa asked Joho without paying attention to Jeomsoi’s expression.

“So what’s the answer?”

“The reason the cage is empty is not to release pigeons, but to receive pigeons.”

“Wow, you finally figured it out. How did you figure it out?”

“Look at this. A hawk is flying over the carriage.”

Joho showed the dove in his hand to Seolhwa.

Seolhwa opened her eyes wide.

“It’s true.”

“Isn’t it strange? I don’t know how it found the carriage, but a pigeon flew in and landed on it. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but it’s hanging there. What is it?”

Joho proudly showed Seolhwa the barrel that was hanging on the telescope.

As Joho was jumping around happily like a child, laughter was heard from behind.

“Haha, I knew you’d figure it out, Johoya.”

Everyone turned at the sound of that voice.

Hanbin was standing there.

When Hanbin held out his hand, Joho held out the can.

Hanbin, who received the letter, quickly took out the note inside and checked it.

Hanbin, who received the note, nodded repeatedly.

No one asked how serious that look was.

Hanbin, who had finished reading the note, looked at Jeomsoi.

“Could you please give me some general information?”

“If it’s something to do here… … .”

“Bring out whatever you want.”

After hearing Hanbin’s words, Jeom So-yi bowed her head and went down to the first floor.

As the dots disappeared, Hanbin looked at Seolhwa.

“Jeomsoi looks a little tired. What happened while I was away? Seolhwa.”

“Nothing happened. The only thing I ate was a little sugar and some rice cakes that Mr. Jeomsoi gave me… .”

Seolhwa trailed off and quickly covered the plate that was on the table.

At that sight, Hanbin looked out the window.

As expected.

Jeomsoi was staggering and heading somewhere.

Hanbin looked at Jeomsoi with pitiful eyes.

Then Seolhwa asked.

“Is Confucius really the owner of this place?”

“That’s true.”

“Really?”

“Well, I’m not that surprised, Seolhwa. So… … .”

Hanbin told them the whole story they were curious about.

The story was simple.

It was one of the things I received from Hanamjeongga last time.

This place was originally run by Madame Jeonghwa.

The first reason for running this place was to gather information. The second reason was to maintain close contact between Hanam Jeongga and Madame Jeonghwa.

After the Hanam Jeongga incident, Hanam Jeongga handed over all businesses related to Madam Jeonghwa to Hanbin.

For that reason, it became Hanbin’s job to deal with this.

After Hanbin took over, he managed it through Sim Mi-ho.

Through Simmiho, this place was being developed into an information hub connecting Gangbuk and Gangnam.

Sim Mi-ho chose the right person and entrusted him with the management of this place.

For that reason, the people here have not yet greeted Hanbin.

Today was my first greeting with the people here.

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked at Joho quietly.

“Everyone, you’ve managed to figure it out. You’ll probably get a pigeon on your way to Sacheondangga. Once you get the pigeon, you can put it in the cage. From now on, Joho will be in charge of managing the pigeons that fly in.”

“Me, me? Isn’t that what the story originally said?”

“Seolhwa will be busy. From now on, Joho, you take care of it.”

“All right.”

“And Captain So Dae-seop cancels tomorrow’s ship.”

“Yes, I understand. But is there a reason… … .”

“A guest is coming. A guest who will accompany you to Sacheon.”

“Who is that guest?”

“That’s a secret.”

“ah.”

When So Dae-seop let out an exclamation, Han-bin smiled and waved his hand.

“Just kidding, just kidding. The guest who is coming is from Sacheondang, so prepare yourself mentally in advance.”

“Oh my, are you going to Sacheondang?”

“Isn’t that a burden?”

“Why should I be a burden to Sacheondangga? It’s okay.”

So Dae-seop laughed, banging his humidifier.

However, despite his expression, he couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling inside.

Sacheondangga?

The Sacheon Dangga were a group of people who would eat meat with poison instead of seasoning it when eating rice.

But you’re going with Sacheondangga?

So Dae-seop’s head became dizzy.

Of course, Joho and Jang Sam’s eyes were also slightly trembling.

Only Seolhwa and Cheonghwa were emptying the remaining sweets and rice cakes on their plates with innocent faces.

* * *

A road leading from Habuk to Jangha.

Someone was running urgently, clutching the reins.

At the back, the flag of the Sacheon Party was fluttering.

The one standing at the very front is none other than Danggi Myeong.

At that moment, the inside of the party was seething.

In conclusion, Dangi-myeong had to empty his pockets to find out where Cheonsu-jang’s master had gone.

Seo Jae-oh of the Hwasan faction, who had initially extorted money from him, was a nobleman at best.

Hong Chil-gae, who arrived late, teamed up with Hwangbo Man-cheong and took all the money, leaving behind not a single penny.

In fact, there was no choice.

Hong Chil-gae said he would take responsibility for returning the invitation to the Mugajihoe, so of course I had no choice but to leave it to him.

However, what was absurd was that they even charged for the cost of distributing the invitations that had to be delivered to Hwangbo Se-ga.

The head of the Hwangbo family is right next door, so why are you saying you’re going to take it?

The name Dangi had to be questioned once again about Cheon Soo Jang.

However, as he left Cheonsujang and came down to the village, Danggi-myeong had to completely change his mind.

They had no doubts about the leader of the Cheonsujang, who was called Shinseon or Saengbul.

There were even those who witnessed the supernatural powers displayed by Jangju of Cheonsujang in Jangunhyeon, which was swarming with infectious diseases.

Are you the eldest son of Cheon Soo Jang?

This could be the last hope for the Sacheondang family.

“Here!”

Danggi-myeong gripped the reins even tighter.

The next morning at dawn, in the guest house next to Daru.

Hanbin and the three Red Blood Tigers were walking along the river for morning training.

I was looking for a place to practice.

Hanbin, who was slowly walking along the river, saw a beggar near the ferry terminal.

Hanbin crossed his arms and checked their waists first.

I was checking to see if there was a knot.

Hanbin shook his head.

They must have been beggars, not open-minded.

Because there was no knot or anything resembling it on their waists.

Hanbin had just passed them and arrived at the empty lot by the river, where he had just taken his seat.

The sound of horse hooves echoed from somewhere.

Hot, hot.

The yellow dust was gradually approaching, blocking out the dawning sun.
