Episode 344. Posuk-ah (2)

Yeok-ah continued to nag at Po-suk.

“Don’t blame Yu too much. Of course, I’m just a humble cook, but didn’t you, Po-suk-gong, who was from a noble family, also used to be close to the gangster Gwan-o, who had nothing?”

A thug with nothing?

That’s true. But you shouldn’t say that in front of Posuk. That would be an insult to Posuk.

No, you don’t have to look at just that.

This whole conversation is an insult to him.

“Are you crazy?”

“Haha, I said I wouldn’t blame you for drinking too much. I guess I lost my mind a little after drinking. I apologize.”

The woman who said that bowed her head exaggeratedly.

And then.

“Father, it’s not that the Duke of Yeok-ah has any bad intentions. The Duke of Yeok-ah said that he would persuade you to join him…”

“So, you’re saying that you guys drank the alcohol that Iza gave you?”

When Posuk-ah reprimanded.

Suddenly, Yu Yu opened her eyes.

“…I did it for my father.”

“For me?”

“If I don’t do this, how can my father stay in the palace? The Emperor loves Yeok-ah, so if he becomes close to her…”

At that moment.

Posuk recalled what Poongbaek had said.

-If you remain loyal, your descendants will remain traitors.

It was exactly as he said.

Posuk couldn’t stand it any longer and grabbed his son’s wrist.

“Hey, where are you going? Don’t you want to have a drink together?”

The old man giggled when he saw that.

A country’s chef ridiculed a country’s prime minister.

However, no one around him thought anything was strange when they saw that.

There was no law or morality.

Those who are friendly with the emperor will win, and those who are hated by the emperor will fall away.

That’s it.

It was my country now.

***

At that time, I was with the martial artists.

My plan was three-fold.

Hope, possibility, despair.

Let’s start with the hope side.

Successfully persuade Posuk to rescue Summer.

This is literally a jackpot.

If we could take him, it would be a great help in formulating our strategy.

Politically, we can also confidently proclaim, ‘This is how much of a mess my country is!’

But I didn’t really think this would happen.

Posuk values ​​benevolence. That is why he released me, and that is why he will not betray his lord.

Then why did I have to meet Posuk?

To specify the location of summer.

“I checked with Posuk. As the Murim people said, Yeoreum seems to be in the villa right now.”

Originally, it would have been right for the main wife, Yeoreum, to be in the main palace, and the new second wife, a woman from the Zhou Dynasty, to be in the auxiliary palace.

However, now Jiang Xiaobai called himself the emperor, and in order to obtain the bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty, he placed the Zhou women in the main palace and pushed the summer to the villa.

And the martial artists found out about this and reported it.

I met with Posuk and confirmed this information.

-To find summer in the villa.

I said that on purpose, and Posuk didn’t react much. Looking at this, it seemed like summer was right in the villa.

“Now that Posuk has entered the palace, the guards at the villa will be strengthened soon. Can you rush to the villa right now and save Yeoreum?”

“How could we spare ourselves when we have received the grace (two boxes of Daehwandan) from Asadal?”

This is my second plan, the ‘possibility’. As the name suggests, it is the most likely one.

‘Besides, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for Posuk too.’

Perhaps tomorrow, Kang So-baek will be angry. His anger will probably be directed at Po-suk. He will ask why he let me go.

In that case, Guan Yi would have a compelling justification for attacking his country for his friends, and this would be able to erase much of the suspicion towards him.

And the third ‘Despair Chapter’ is… the situation where Posuk catches me and offers me up.

This is fine as is, except I’m X.

First of all, I don’t know anything about Asadal Army right now. I know a little about Seorabeol-bu, but how important is Seorabeol-bu in this war?

As soon as I am captured, the children of my country, who dared to capture Feng Baek, the envoy, will declare war in a rage, saying that he is my teacher.

This was also enough to boost the will to fight.

Whatever you do, it’s beneficial.

Of course, I could easily lose, but honestly, I was like, ‘Would they really kill me?’

but.

“I think the scorpion is coming!”

My heart sank when I heard that.

‘Was the answer despair?’

Are you coming to catch me with your soldiers?

Then it’s better if I just get caught.

“Everyone run! The soldiers are alone…”

“Oh, that’s it.”

The martial artists said.

“There is only one person here, Posuk?”

…huh?

***

A few hours ago.

Posuk looked at his son, Poyu.

The baby is kneeling with her mouth shut. Despite being an adult, her eyes are filled with tears.

Po-yu, the son of Po-suk, is very filial.

There is also the ability. Posuk knows that best.

That’s the problem.

“Father, I couldn’t stand to see you ignored any longer.”

Poyu wanted her father’s lottery ticket.

The wise Yu also knew that the only way for her father to be restored to his original position in the current country was to become friends with the likes of Yeok-ah and Sucho.

“It’s okay to be a traitor. It’s okay to be pointed at. As long as you don’t do that to your father, your father…”

therefore.

Now, Posuk is being pushed aside by parachute personnel and is being treated as leftover food.

However, the situation is that his son is begging the paratrooper to save his father.

Can anyone tolerate this?

Posuk lamented.

‘What the heck, what kind of country is this…’

A monarch who dismisses his prime minister and is manipulated by a man who only says nice things and a cook.

Because of that, his own children became traitors.

And, his friend Gwan-O is greatly threatened within Asadal due to the presence of Summer.

The night is over, the bird is worrying.

He looked up at the sky.

Before we know it, the night is over and the sun is rising.

The end of the year was hanging over Mt. Taishan.

The place where Pungbaek is said to be.

Posuk headed towards that place.

I met Posuk right away.

Posuk said.

“Summer is in a separate palace away from the main palace. There was a drinking party in the palace yesterday… There probably won’t be many caretakers here, and it’s also the time for a change of shift. If you want to get Summer out, now is your chance.”

He advised me to go and rescue Summer by telling me the shift change times in my country.

‘What is this, is this a dream?’

I pinched it, but it hurt.

It’s not a dream.

‘What the hell is going on in my country? What kind of traitor is he?’

Of course, it’s the Spring and Autumn Period now, when there’s no such thing as Confucian order, and the basis is that if the ruler treats his subjects well, they should be treated well in return… But this guy is a bastard, right?

The person that later generations said, ‘I don’t know the wisdom of the crowd, but I know the wisdom and humanity of Po-suk.’

‘What the hell is going on?’

I thought it would feel like this if Yi Sun-sin had betrayed Joseon or Jeong Mong-ju had betrayed Goryeo.

But at least one thing was certain.

My country is a mess right now.

And at the same time, cold sweat started to flow.

‘If I had been caught… I might have really been killed?’

I don’t know for sure, but seeing as Posuk decided to betray, Kang So-baek must really be out of his mind right now.

If I had been caught by that guy… I might have just caught him and tore him to pieces, calling him the Asadal Lion.

***

My country still doesn’t know about Asadal’s invasion.

Of course, we are still in the friendly stage with Asadal.

But being friendly doesn’t necessarily mean being close. All Kang So-baek wants is ‘Asadal not attacking from behind when we go to war.’

So, common sense would suggest that they should have treated Summer well… but in reality, it’s the opposite.

“It’s like a dog.”

Summer was now in the annex, not the main palace.

He also had a child. He was ostensibly a prince, but I don’t know if he could become a prince.

The expression “in a villa” is also strange. The expression “confined” would be more appropriate.

It is really strange. Why does Kang So-baek, who is wary of Asadal, treat Dal-bi, a woman of Asadal, so coldly? However, there was a reason for it.

First, Kang So-baek brought in a new woman from the Zhou Dynasty.

Having the blood of the Zhou Dynasty is a good thing because it brings legitimacy to the Zhou Dynasty. Of course, it seems like he sleeps with Sucho more often than Zhu Xi.

In any case, as Jiang Xiaobai needed the legitimacy of the Zhou Dynasty, he had to keep Zhu Xi closer than Yeoreum.

When Asadal and Je were friendly, Kang So-baek took Yeoreum with him wherever he went.

Thanks to that, Summer was able to build relationships with many women and act as their leader. But now it’s different.

All ties with them were severed.

There is no way to know whether they are not coming to meet or whether Kang So-baek is blocking them. It is probably both. And there was another reason.

-Did you think that my wife didn’t know that I was sending news from my country to Asadal?

Kang So-baek became overly friendly with Asadal. This means, conversely, that he was wary of Asadal.

And Kang So-baek did not want information about his country to leak to Asadal in the current situation.

However, since he acknowledged the value of summer itself, he chose to keep her in the villa.

Kang So-baek, who was trying to be friendly with Asadal, ended up treating Asadal’s woman coldly… This is how things turned out.

Of course, on the surface, it is said that ‘instead of a dizzying palace, we brought her to a comfortable villa’, so there is no problem.

“This is completely ridiculous.”

Summer spoke Asadal. It was nonsense, but it didn’t matter. Kang So-baek didn’t have a single maid who knew Asadal. Even these maids were changed every week.

The intention is to isolate them openly.

And Summer is Dalbi’s younger sister. The blood didn’t go anywhere. Summer was worried.

‘Should I just throw it away?’

He is just a scapegoat now, and Asadal must be having quite a headache because of him.

Those guys from Jungwon are my sister and my family, and they fight and cause trouble on a daily basis, but it’s hard to see Dalbi, Poongbaek, and my father Bulgeo approving of that.

Then, it would be better if you died yourself.

Isn’t this the end of the story?

…I thought so.

“…Fucking Kang So-baek.”

Kang So-baek was persistent. He did not isolate Yeoreum alone. He placed his son in the villa with her.

This was a warning.

If you die, what will happen to your children?

…the results will not be good.

She knows Jungwonsa well. It is not uncommon in Jungwonsa to kill the first wife’s child in order to revive the second wife.

If she were alive… the child would survive at least by seeing Asadal’s face. But if she were to die, the child’s future would be uncertain.

“Soya, Kangsoya.”

“mother…?”

“No, sleep more.”

She looked at her son, the cow.

I can’t die leaving my child behind.

Besides, it’s actually difficult to die.

The maids are watching her with their eyes wide open day and night. She is a real target.

“It’s a lot of luggage.”

It was at that moment, muttering like that, that she was about to wet her silk clothes with tears again.

“What is it!”

“The enemy!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Even the maids were startled and headed outside. Summer also got up and went out the door.

Whoosh-! The still-warm dawn air brushed her cheek. Against the dim dawn, a group of people with hoods wrapped around their faces could be seen fighting with the soldiers guarding the villa.

The one who seemed to be the leader among them brandished a sword.

“Whoaaaa! The flowers are falling so fast!!!!!”

The soldiers who were restraining him fell to his feet due to his bold and splendid swordsmanship.

Summer was somewhat taken aback when she saw that sight.

‘If that’s the case… why did you cover your face?’

But the thought didn’t last long.

Summer immediately came to mind with something to do.

“Cow!”

“Oh, Mother?”

“Come out now! Right now!”

She carried her son and ran towards the masked men.

“Where is this!”

The soldiers who saw that stopped him.

“Don’t be a jerk!”

Whoosh!

Summer threw the sharp piece of wood that she had prepared in advance. Summer is also a woman of the Bear Tribe. She is also the daughter of the chief of the Salt Tribe.

I’m learning some simple tricks.

The sharp wooden dagger flew straight and stabbed the man in the back of his neck.

“Huh, huh?”

It wasn’t enough to kill, but it was enough to make him panic. The soldier seemed surprised that a woman was throwing a dagger. However, this is a common occurrence in Asadal.

“Me! I am summer!”

Summer ran and shouted.

A group of people, hearing her screams, rushed towards her.

***

Each piece of information Posuk-ah gave was valuable. He knew the exact shift change times for the villa, and the martial artists succeeded in rescuing Yeoreum by attacking during those times.

If they hadn’t barged in during the shift change, it would have been difficult for the Murim people to defeat the well-trained and well-armed guards on the plains anyway.

“Summer!”

“Father! Brother-in-law!”

Summer looked at me and shouted:

I didn’t call them both, they both mean me.

I am Summer’s adoptive father, and I am married to her older sister. At first glance, it may seem like a strange family tree, but it is not that unusual by today’s standards.

“I wish I could hug you and cry right now, but I don’t have time for that, right?”

“right.”

Summer was quick to judge the situation, wondering if anyone was her younger sibling.

“I have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs right now.”

“Okay, but what about them?”

“Ah, it’s Posuk-ah’s family.”

I said this while looking at those gathered behind me. They were also under surveillance, so I had to evacuate them through the martial artists.

‘However, the surveillance wasn’t that strict.’

It seems that Kang So-baek believed that Po-suk would never abandon him even though he had kicked him out.

In some ways, I may have trusted his loyalty, but… in my opinion, it was stubbornness.

Isn’t this just treating Posuk like a spouse who gets beaten? Even if I abandon Posuk, Posuk can’t abandon me.

The thought of how a person could be so arrogant is meaningless now. What can I do now to someone who has already been crowned the King of Bongseon?

“Let’s go!”

I shouted like that, and people started moving. Except for one person.

“…I won’t go.”

It was Posuk who said that.

I asked.

“Why?”

“I saved the lady of Asadal so that my lord would not have the cowardly reputation of using a weak woman in battle.

Because of that, my family is in danger, so I am evacuating them to Asadal. However, those two problems have been resolved now.”

Posuk said resolutely.

“So, I am single now. As long as I am single, I want to live with dignity.”

therefore.

I don’t want to be a traitor, but a loyal subject who chooses to do what his lord doesn’t want.

I wanted to search this house. I’m sure I’d find a dozen empty lunch boxes.

If not, how could I make such a stupid choice?

“If you stay, you will definitely die.”

“I guess so.”

Posuk said calmly. I feel like I want to be a gentleman, a scholar, and a loyal subject, but… from my perspective, I seem very, very stupid.

And I’m not the only one who thought that.

“father.”

“Baby. Today is the last time I see you…”

“It’s not the last.”

Poyu approached with brisk strides and stood in front of Posuk.

“Please forgive my unfilial piety.”

Phew!

He swung his fist and struck Posuk-ah in the lower jaw. Posuk-ah was unable to withstand his young son’s punch and fell down with his eyes rolled back.

“I’ll pay the penalty later.”

What is it? Is it a Pokemon battle?

Can’t you just catch the legendary monster Posuk and then have to render it to a near-death state before catching it?

I looked back and forth between the fallen foreskin and the foreskin, then asked in disbelief.

“…Are you okay?”

“If I hadn’t done this, my father would never have listened to me.”

“…When I wake up?”

“You may try to kill me. You may say that you have made me a disloyal person. But, it doesn’t matter. As long as my father is alive, I don’t mind being accused of being disloyal, unfilial, or anything else.”

After saying that, Yu Yoo calmly carried my father on her back.

“Then, go.”

Yes, before the sun rose high in the sky.

We moved to Naeminbu through secret paths that the Murim people knew when they lived in Taesan.
