Chapter 558 - Don't think you came here for work

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saneum County.

 

Hyeoncheonmun.

 

 

 

Cheonsanwol's prediction became a reality that very evening.

 

So Cheon-wu Munju came to Yeon Jeok-ha who was having dinner at a restaurant.

 

“Yeon Daehyeop. Could you please take a moment after dinner?”

 

"why?"

 

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at So Tian-yu with puzzled eyes.

 

I don't know what's wrong with Munju, who I haven't been looking for since the beginning of winter.

 

“I have a guest to come.”

 

“A guest?”

 

“At the end of Sulsi (around 9:00 p.m.), the new head of the brother-in-law decided to visit.”

 

“A government official is coming?”

 

"yes."

 

"why?"

 

“I don’t know about that, but… … . I heard that several buildings were destroyed today. Since you are the brother-in-law, aren’t you here to ask about the matter?”

 

“There are many people who have seen the disciples of Cheonjijong destroy it, so what else do they want to find out?”

 

“Yeon Daehyeop saw it up close, so that’s what it must be.”

 

Of course that's what it says.

 

So Chun-wu, who was quick-witted, had a rough idea of why the new job was coming.

 

Bona Mana will try to place some of the responsibility on the yeon jeokha.

 

You won't be able to charge for the far-off Hansanju, moreover, the heaven and earth.

 

It is true that Yeonjeokha is a great master, but how can he be compared to Cheonjijong?

 

“Is it because you saw it up close?”

 

Even if it wasn't so, I felt uncomfortable when I heard strange noises from Cheon San-wol.

 

“I heard that a disciple of the Cheonji sect broke it? If so, don't worry too much.”

 

I was a little relieved by the words of the naturally virtuous So Tian-wu.

 

“Just in case.”

 

“It will be fine. Then, when the new job comes, I will send someone to the inn.”

 

"Please."

 

Hearing Yeon Jeok-ha's answer, So Cheon-wu returned with a clear face.

 

When So Chun-wu disappeared, Gong Ji-seop, who was sitting with him, carefully removed his luck.

 

“Yeondaehyeop, I think you need to prepare your mind.”

 

"yes? What are you ready for?”

 

“I heard someone came from my brother-in-law? Moonju says it’s no big deal, but it won’t be.”

 

"why?"

 

I put down my chopsticks, which ran away from my appetite.

 

Since So Chun-wu and Gong Ji-seop speak differently, it seems that they go back and forth between 'hot bath' and 'cold bath'.

 

“It is full of eyewitnesses, so it is obvious why they would come to Yeondaehyeop in the middle of the night.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“I’m going to weave it together with Cheonjijong and ask for a share of the restoration cost, no matter how much.”

 

“… … .”

 

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Gong Ji-seop with absurd eyes.

 

Share the cost of recovery?

 

Not enough to spend on finding Namgung-yeon?

 

“Ah, what kind of money does an individual like me have?”

 

“The government would think that it would be easy to raise money because the Yeondaehyeop is a master.”

 

“But it’s not just one or two broken palace halls. Shouldn’t I go to the Cheonjijong and beg for it?”

 

“Even the lord of the castle cannot do anything about it. He is even more like the sky to Hyeongryeong. Cheonjijong would have given up immediately. If Yan Daehyeop were the prefecture, would he send people to Heaven and Earth?”

 

“I can’t send it.”

 

He was accustomed to the life of the Savior, and he did not even worry about it.

 

Cheonjijong was an opponent that Hyeonryeong could not even dare to look at.

 

“Why would your brother-in-law's official visit you in the middle of the night? He will ask for a compromise in a reasonable way.”

 

“Wow! I have to go into the soyojong quickly, or I can't live because it's dirty.”

 

“Good idea. If you do not want to suffer unfair things in the Savior, you must become a disciple of the sect. If Yeon Dae-hyeop had been a disciple of So-yo, he would not have asked or questioned.”

 

“That's true! What is it?”

 

“Don't worry too much. Officials will also notice the open negotiations. Do you have any intention of participating in the reconstruction of the palace?”

 

“Are you participating?”

 

“Yes, I mean, are you willing to contribute a little bit to the construction cost?”

 

“Honestly, I haven’t thought about that yet… … .”

 

Yeonjeokha blurred the end of his words.

 

If the property is broken during a fight in the inn, just throw half of the hermit.

 

But this time is different.

 

As many as a dozen buildings were destroyed.

 

Although the scale was large, it was committed by Gu Hoe-il, so I didn't care at all.

 

“In the end, it will be as you wished. Whether you donate any amount or cut it like a knife.”

 

"is that so?"

 

“The officials won’t say anything like this. Because Yeon Daehyeop is a master who subdued the disciples of Cheonjijong. So he will come to visit you at night.”

 

“I see what you mean. Listening to Captain Gong’s words, it feels like his mind is clearing up.”

 

I was grateful to Gong Ji-seop, who had a relationship.

 

He would have been greatly embarrassed if he had only trusted So Chun-wu's words and left without thinking.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Sulsi Mal (9:00 p.m.).

 

 

 

One of Hyeoncheonmun's disciples led Yeonjeokha, who was resting in the guesthouse, to the guesthouse of the anchae.

 

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was taking off his shoes on an island stone under the veranda, had a strange look in his eyes.

 

Two pairs of shoes are placed on the island stone. One of them looks a bit small.

 

Then jeokha who tilted his head stood up on the floor.

 

Eventually, when I entered the room attached to the guest room, So Cheon-wu greeted me with a fuss.

 

“Oops! Did you come? He's resting well, but I don't know if I've bothered him for nothing. This is the brother-in-law’s new workplace that I mentioned at dinner.”

 

Yeon Jeok-ha's eyes naturally followed Xiao Chun-wu's hand.

 

A woman who appeared to be in her mid-twenties smiled and bowed her head.

 

“Yeondaehyup, I heard a lot of words. It's called the brother-in-law's workplace distraction.”

 

“Ah, yes. hello?"

 

Yeonjeokha also responded with a simple refusal.

 

When the two finished their greetings, So Chun-wu stepped out.

 

“Come on, let’s sit down. Yeondaehyeop, new workplace said as soon as they saw me. Don't think that you came here because of work. I also learned a lot from my new job today. That's right. If we meet during the day, it's official business, and if we meet at night, it's social. Ah yes.”

 

He sat down in his seat with a confused expression on his face.

 

They say you can pay off a thousand-nyang debt with just one word, but when you hear the sound of socializing, it feels like the burden is drastically reduced.

 

“Hehe, in fact, the dream of an old man when he was young was to become a government official. By the way, it seems that your new job has a high level of dignity for your age?”

 

Xiao Tianyu asked in a calm tone.

 

If it's a job, it's a high-ranking official.

 

It was truly surprising that she, who seemed to be in her twenties, was already in such a position.

 

“I was lucky.”

 

Shinyeon summarized the story about herself in one word.

 

And he naturally turned the topic to Yeonjeokha.

 

“Oh, there is something I really want to tell you when I meet Yeondaehyeop. Thank you for protecting Saneumhyeon. I live in Hwayangchon, close to Dongmun. No one has been harmed yet this winter. Yeon Daehyeop is the benefactor of Hwayang Village.”

 

“… … .”

 

I just laughed it off.

 

To be honest, I didn't care how to bring up the topic of money, so I couldn't even hear anything else.

 

“Please visit Hwayangchon sometime. All the villagers want to see the Daehyeop held.”

 

"Ah yes."

 

When Yeon Jeok-ha answered dryly, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Shin-yeon's face.

 

It was the first time that she wasn't so focused on her conversation with herself.

 

‘Still, I am called the flower of Saneumhyeon. It's really too much. I heard she was married, so is that so?'

 

But that doesn't even make sense.

 

It wasn't that married men weren't kind to themselves.

 

Men are weak to beautiful women, regardless of marriage.

 

In my own experience, it was.

 

However, it seemed that the love affair had gone elsewhere.

 

“Hey, can I ask you some personal questions on behalf of the residents of Huayang Village?”

 

“Is it personal?”

 

“Yes, I heard that you live in Hyeoncheonmun’s inn, for example. Where is your house?”

 

“This is a stone sutra field near Soho.”

 

“Soho? Was there such a lake in Chaoyang? Seeing what I don’t know, it must be a small lake?”

 

"yes. It is very small.”

 

She didn't want to talk about it at length, so she just said it was small.

 

In fact, it was true that they felt small compared to the rivers and lakes of the Savior.

 

“Then how long do you plan to stay at Hyeoncheonmun?”

 

So Cheon-woo also showed interest in this question.

 

Hyeoncheonmun's status increased just because Yeonjeokha stayed in the guest house.

 

He wanted Yeonjeokha to stay in the inn for a long time.

 

“It will be there until spring.”

 

“Ah, until spring… … . Are you going back to the Seokgyeongjang after that?”

 

"no. I want to go to a place called Bull Usan.”

 

“If it’s a bad umbrella, would you like to participate in Soyojong’s ‘Biseungwahae’?”

 

"yes. I had to enter the temple gate.”

 

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Sin-yeon with meaningful eyes.

 

If I had been So-jong's disciple, I wouldn't have been in such an uncomfortable position!

 

However, Shin-yeon rather happily accepted his gaze.

 

At least I got the feeling that he was concentrating on the conversation with me.

 

“That’s right. In fact, I also challenged ‘Biseungwahae’. I fell three times.”

 

Hearing that he had fallen three times, So Chun-wu showed interest.

 

Most of the munpa did not give many opportunities to their disciples.

 

Usually once, if the family is good, twice.

 

Although the road to Bull Usan is dangerous, it is because you have to give other disciples a chance.

 

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked abruptly.

 

“How did you get your new job because of your family?”

 

“My grandfather served as a judge.”

 

"ah!"

 

So Chun-wu's mouth fell open.

 

I can't believe he was a blacksmith.

 

Panseo is the head of the six ancestors and is a high official who governs the castle.

 

If the goal of a martial artist is a disciple of sectarianism, the goal of a literary man could be said to be a blacksmith.

 

A word from the panseo is enough to blow the throat of the hyeonryeong.

 

Considering her family, three chances weren't many.

 

When the story of the official position came out, Yeonjeokha looked out the window.

 

He had never been a government official, but he felt rejected for no reason, perhaps because he was from Green Forest.

 

When he got bored, Shin-yeon hurriedly changed the topic.

 

“Yeon Daehyeop, if you have any questions about ‘Biseungwahae’, ask. I fell off, but I still have the experience of attending three times.”

 

Only then did Yeon Jeok-ha show a little interest.

 

“Is it necessary to have a letter of recommendation from the Munpa to participate in ‘Biseungwahae’?”

 

"why? Yeondaehyeop should just tell Somunju.”

 

“Ah, that letter of recommendation should be received by a disciple of Hyeoncheonmun. who has been preparing for a long time There should be, but I can't take that opportunity away.”

 

It reminded me of Gong Ji-yu.

 

Stealing her letter of recommendation? That was unimaginable.

 

On the other hand, Shin-yeon, fearing that Yeon Jeok-ha would criticize herself, quickly raised him up.

 

“As expected, the Yeondaehyeop is a great person. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have a letter of recommendation. It’s just preliminary work to weed out people who aren’t capable.”

 

“Pre-work?”

 

“The final destination of ‘Biseungwahae’ is the top of Mt. Bullusan. There is not only one way to climb a mountain, is there?”

 

“It is.”

 

“The people who presented the letters of recommendation can be seen as people who have been filtered out once in the munpa. Soyojong’s disciples personally take such people to Jinsubong (辰宿峰), halfway up Mt.

 

“What if I don’t have a letter of recommendation?”

 

“You have to go through the basic gate installed at the beginning of Bullousan Mountain. By passing through it and reaching Jinsubong, you prove your qualifications. The real ‘Biseungwahae’ begins at Jinsubong Peak.”

 

"aha!"

 

When Yeon Jeok-ha nodded her head, Shin-yeon smiled brightly and said.

 

“Of course, Yeon Daehyeop will arrive at Jinsubong sooner than those with invitations.”

 

“… … .”

 

Despite the beauty's praise, his expression did not change, like a stone Buddha in love.

 

When his reaction was not good, Shin-yeon pulled So Chun-wu in.

 

“Lord Moon, who are you planning to send next spring? Anyone who knows that he is going to the Daehyeop, which is being held this time, will make it to Bu-U-San safely.”
