433. Confucius Sharpening His Sword (3)

The soldier tilted his head.

I couldn’t understand the merchant blowing the trumpet that was used only in barracks.

Finally, the eunuch Seo, who was in charge of this place, came running.

Hot and cold.

Hot and cold.

Eunuch Seo, who had come galloping on horseback, looked at the soldier.

“What’s going on?”

“It was nothing. Those guys must have gone crazy because they suddenly blew the trumpet.”

“Why did you say that?”

“I don’t know. We’ll kick them out right away. So, Your Majesty, just stay still.”

“Do that… … .”

Eunuch Seo stopped talking.

Because the trumpet that Joho was holding looked familiar.

That was when.

Someone came running out of the castle like the wind.

Whirlwind.

A gait like that of a fairy, as if walking on clouds.

It was the volcano’s treasure trove of plum blossoms.

The Plum Blossom Three Treasures, which means that if you step on three plum blossom leaves, you can go anywhere.

Eunuch Seo shouted before he even got there.

“What are you doing here? River Bridgehead!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man stood in front of Eunuch Seo.

He was none other than Kang Yu-chan of the Royal Guard.

“Eunuch Seo, how are you? I have come here with the Lord of Hebei Province to look after the people’s livelihood.”

“Minseong… … . You are on the same mission as me.”

“What I’m saying is, this luggage was brought in under the orders of the governor of Hebei Province.”

“hmm.”

“I have come to assist the Lord of Hebei Province under the command of His Majesty the Emperor. If you interfere with that… … .”

“Okay. But I need to check what’s in that baggage.”

“Do as you wish.”

When Kang Yu-chan pointed to the cart, Eunuch Seo smiled brightly.

He thought that Kang Yu-chan of the Royal Guard had taken him too lightly.

If there was even one thing among them that was out of his favor, he was determined not to let it pass.

Grains were included among them.

There were surprisingly many items banned in the country.

If even one of them was caught, the entire line in front of them would be turned away.

As Eunuch Seo nodded, soldiers came rushing in like a cloud from behind.

In front of the soldiers, who were grouped into ten, there was even a military dog ​​used in the barracks.

Meanwhile, Kang Yu-chan clicked his tongue at the sight.

A while ago, Hanbin asked me for a few favors through Jeonseogu.

One of them was the current situation.

Kang Yu-chan tilted his head.

Judging by the fact that even military dogs were mobilized, it was clear that they were determined not to let this cart pass.

It was definitely as Hanbin said.

Hanbin said that those blocking this place are connected to someone.

Those people are the ones who are destroying the country.

Kang Yu-chan clenched his fist.

He felt his heart flutter as he thought of the country and the emperor.

At that moment, soldiers led by military dogs arrived in front of the cart.

The one who appeared to be the leader of the soldiers shouted.

“Your Majesty! The cover is now firmly fastened to the carriage. I think it must be torn off!”

The soldier drew his sword. Then he grabbed the cloth hanging on the cart.

He looks at Eunuch Seo quietly.

The well-trained soldiers waited only for the eunuch’s orders.

Eunuch Seo turned his head, looked at Kang Yu-chan, and smiled.

“I don’t know what you were hiding that you had to wrap it up so tightly, Kang Kyo-du.”

“I don’t know that either.”

Kang Yu-chan looked at the cart with a blank expression as if it had nothing to do with him.

The eunuch smiled strangely at that sight.

The laughter was brief, and Eunuch Seo silently swept his hands from left to right.

Whoosh.

As if that was a signal, the soldiers mercilessly cut the cloth covering the wagon with their swords.

Boohoo.

All the way.

Then he removed the rag that had become the cover.

In an instant, the Red Blood Tiger Squad members disguised as merchants hurriedly covered their noses and mouths.

The soldiers of the same class tilted their heads at that sight.

Suddenly, I couldn’t understand the action of covering my nose and mouth.

At the same time, the military dogs reacted first.

Wake up.

Gang.

It’s a desperate cry.

The startled military dogs began to scatter in all directions.

The soldiers of the same class also quickly retreated.

It was because of the musty smell that suddenly came up.

As they tore the cloth covering the wagon, a smell began to leak out.

They retreated hurriedly.

“Everyone, be careful… … . Gasp.”

“Everyone, be on alert… … GASP!”

The soldiers couldn’t breathe.

Eunuch Seo, who was watching the scene, said.

“What the hell are you doing now!”

“What are you doing? Your Majesty, please check with that merchant yourself.”

Kang Yu-chan pointed ahead, pretending not to know.

There was So Dae-seop, disguised as a merchant.

When Kang Yu-chan nodded, So Dae-seop smiled awkwardly and continued speaking.

“Your Majesty, you may check it yourself. It is a medicinal herb.”

“Herbs… … .”

Eunuch Seo shook his head as if he couldn’t believe it.

At that sight, So Dae-seop continued speaking.

“Have you heard of soyangcho? It is also called dog poop grass because it smells like dog poop.”

“hmm.”

“These are the herbs that Elder Kang Yu-chan personally ordered because he thought there might be a shortage of herbs here.”

At So Dae-seop’s answer, the eunuch turned his head.

“Is that true?”

“Well, that’s true. Didn’t I tell you that? It’s essential for the livelihood of the people of Hebei Province. You never know when the Confucian scholars will start a riot here in Hebei Province. If something happens, there will be a shortage of medicinal herbs… … .”

Kang Yu-chan continued explaining without stopping.

So Dae-seop was also surprised by that sight.

I never thought that someone called the head of the Royal Guard could speak so openly.

Now that I look at it, I think he is the same type of person as his master, Hanbin.

While So Dae-seop was surprised, Eunuch Seo squinted his eyes.

Then I looked around.

Eunuch Seo shook his head from side to side.

He had also heard of the plant called dog poop grass.

It was a medicinal herb commonly used by the common people as it was effective for stomachaches and wounds.

Although it is called a medicinal herb, it can be easily found in the Hanam region without the need for cultivation.

If it wasn’t so far away, there would be no need for merchants to move it.

“You should have told me earlier… … .”

Eunuch Seo squinted his eyes and plugged his nose urgently.

He quickly raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of Hebei Province.

It was a signal to pass.

But the cart did not move.

At that sight, the leader of the soldiers shouted.

“What are you doing instead of passing through?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. If we go inside the castle like this, the smell will cause chaos, so let’s do some cleaning up here… .”

At those words, the soldiers looked at Eunuch Seo.

Eunuch Seo sighed deeply and then said.

“I don’t want to see it, so let it pass quickly.”

At those words, the Red Tigers, disguised as merchants, were pushed through the gate.

After walking a long way from the castle gate, So Dae-seop finally gave a winning ticket to Kang Yu-chan.

“Thank you, sir.”

“It’s okay. All of this is the request of Prince Peng and the order of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“What is your order?”

“Hmm. That’s a secret.”

“Ah, if even the great man follows our Confucius… … .”

So Dae-seop slightly trailed off.

As I was talking, I felt like I was making fun of Kang Yu-chan of the Royal Guard.

His status and mine are worlds apart.

If you don’t have regular contact, it wouldn’t be strange for your neck to fall off.

Kang Yu-chan said at that sight.

“You don’t have to be so nervous.”

After finishing speaking, Kang Yu-chan glanced towards the south.

Then he looked east again.

The south was the side where Hanbin was, and the west was the side where the emperor was.

The message from Hanbin that Kang Yu-chan received was also reported to the emperor.

The emperor readily ordered Kang Yuchan to return to Hebei.

There the emperor made one request.

Kang Yu-chan checked the emperor’s message that he had kept in his bosom.

This is a request from the emperor to a mere man… … .

Kang Yu-chan smiled without realizing it.

* * *

Three days later.

A group of merchants were sleeping rough on the border between Jangun County and Hebei Province.

The smell of rice cooking and burning wood wafted ceaselessly around the campfire they had lit to sleep in.

The most popular of these was, of course, roast rabbit.

The rabbit roasted by Gwanggae was one of those foods that you could eat for days without getting tired of it.

Baek Mi-rang touched her stomach.

I’ve been eating so well lately that I’ve started to gain some belly fat that I didn’t have before.

But on the contrary, my skin became smoother than ever.

Baek Mi-rang, who had been frowning after touching her belly, quickly touched her face and smiled brightly.

Seolhwa asked at that sight.

“Sister, why are you laughing like that?”

“Oh, that’s a secret… … .”

“Your skin has become smoother.”

Baek Mi-rang’s expression hardened in surprise at Seol-hwa’s sharp words.

Seolhwa, seeing that expression, continued speaking.

“Did I get it right? Please have this too.”

Seolhwa held out a candy.

Baek Mi-rang instinctively accepted the sweets, but then suddenly came to her senses.

“Absolutely not.”

“Why not? This is so delicious.”

“That’s why it won’t work. Because of this, I have belly fat… … .”

“I think it’s because of the meat.”

“Meat is good for your skin, but sugar is… … .”

“Sugar is also good for your skin.”

Seolhwa held out the candy again.

Baek Mi-rang unconsciously accepted the sweets after hearing that they were good for the skin.

Then a black shadow appeared behind them.

Swish.

At that moment, goosebumps appeared on Baek Mi-rang’s back.

It had been a long time since I felt a sense of dread rather than a sense of life.

She turned her head quietly.

There, someone was staring at the candy with white rice cakes in his eyes.

The owner of the ghost was none other than the person in front.

Looking closely, the person emitting the aura appeared to be a woman.

Baekmirang stepped back and spread her arms out as if protecting Seolhwa and Cheonghwa.

That was when.

The monster standing in front said.

“Sister.”

“Huh?”

Baek Mi-rang’s eyes widened.

I didn’t understand why the monster suddenly called me my older sister.

Come to think of it… … .

It was a voice I had heard somewhere.

Then the monster continued speaking.

“Sister. I’m, I’m hungry… .”

Baek Mi-rang opened her eyes wide as she saw the other person stammering as he continued to speak.

“Is that voice by any chance Heukmirang?”

“Oh, now I see.”

“What on earth is going on?”

“Sister, I haven’t been able to sleep or eat a single meal since then.”

“What do you mean? Did Hubei Haomen collapse?”

“That’s not it… … . The nobleman from Haomun that my sister sent to Jeonseo-gu… … .”

Heukmirang couldn’t continue speaking because it was hard.

Baekmirang could tell right away who Heukmirang was referring to.

It was referring to the four Confucius of the Habuk Peng family who had first accompanied him.

Come to think of it, the herons also flew in one after another.

At that moment, Heukmirang pointed to the candy that Baekmirang was holding.

“Sister, please… … .”

“… … Yeah, here it is.”

When Baek Mi-rang handed him some candy, Heuk Mi-rang ate it eagerly.

It was when Black Mirang had finished eating all the candy in one bite.

Seolhwa handed over the candy again.

“Try this too.”

“Thank you. But who?”

“Baekmi and Unni are friends here. But why do you call Baekmi and Unni ‘Unni’?”

Seolhwa tilted her head.

Others had the same questions as Seolhwa.

In fact, it was the same with white rice.

If they were originally twins, their appearances would have been indistinguishable to anyone who saw them.

But the current black rice was dangerously dry.

Of course, Baek Mi-rang had forgotten that she had blown more than she thought.

The difference made them not look like twins.

Baek Mi-rang, who had been watching her younger sister for a long time, asked.

“Why couldn’t I sleep?”

“I’ve been running all night. Sometimes when I try to sleep, Confucius keeps sharpening his sword… … .”

Baek Mi-rang tilted her head.

You’re not even sharpening your teeth, you’re sharpening a knife?

That was when.

Baek Mi-rang narrowed her eyes.

It was because, as Heukmirang said, the sound of a knife being sharpened was heard from somewhere.

Swish.

Swish.
