Chapter 74 - Be sincere
Around lunchtime, Namgungjin, the master of Changchundae, came to Namgungcheon.
He said, “I met and heard of the hand ark. Did you set a date for going up?”
Namgung-jin is Namgung-cheon's cousin, so he usually talks privately.
“Yes, I will leave in three days.”
"you?"
“It’s a chore, so I’m thinking of participating too, is that okay?”
Still, since Namgung-jin is the leader of Changcheondae, Namgung-cheon asked for his opinion.
“Let it be. By the way, what would you like to do with the green forest you meet on the way up?”
Namgungjin looked at Namgungcheon with an ambiguous expression.
Five generations took it for granted that people would kill themselves when they saw a green forest. It is said to be an escort for the ascending, but since it was the Changcheondae of the Namgung family, I had to ask.
“If we are the Changcheondae of the Namgung family, there is nothing to compromise with Nokrim. But while you're there as an escort for your ancestors, it's good to keep on good terms with Nokrim. Even later, the other side shouldn’t be harmed.”
“Yes, I think the same as you. I will convey your will to Changchundae.”
Although Namgung-jin is the younger brother of Namgung-cheon, he definitely treated him like Sogaju.
“Thank you, brother.”
“What is gratitude? Oh! Are you going to take Yeon?”
"no. I'm going to leave it upstairs. There might be news from his father.”
“Yeah, that would be nice. Uncle will surely come to visit you.”
Namgungcheon silently nodded her head.
For the Namgung family, the Namgung Byeok has more meaning than the family head. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Namgung Byeok, the head of the household, was Namgung Se himself. This is because Namgung Byeok was the master who poured all the abilities of the Namgung family and nurtured them.

May.
Pingjeong Mountain in Henan Province.
Around noon, a group of about seventy people cautiously approached the entrance of Pyeongjeong Mountain. This is the top of the Sangjo Sangbang on the way from Luoyang to Nanjing.
Sohn Hak, a man in his fifties, approached Namgung-jin, Daeju of Changchun University, and said,
“Daehyeop, this is the territory of Jeokpungchae.”
“I know.”
At Namgoongjin's words, Sohn Hak couldn't say anything more.
In fact, it was a mana shout to the masters of the Namgung family. Because there is no one who knows about greening as well as they do.
Sohn Hak, a little embarrassed, glanced at the flag hanging on the wagon.
The flags of Sangjosangbang and Namgung family hang side by side.
I suddenly get curious.
Will there be greenery to step forward even after seeing the flag of the Namgung family?
There are twenty-one guards at the top.
It's not a lot when you consider about 50 merchants and handymen. The number of people, which was normally only 230, increased like this because they were the escorts of the Namgung family.
Time passed in tension.
Even though the upper section passed more than half of Pyeongjeong Mountain, Jeokpungchae did not appear.
Sometimes there were people in the forest, but that's it.
Finally, the upper ranks left Pyongjeong Mountain.
Sohn Hak, who was all alone, quietly spoke to Namgoong Jin.
“As expected, I am the Namgung family. The greed of Yeomdobu, the owner of the house, is not common, but I don't see him pecking his nose.”
“… … .”
Namgung-jin just stared straight ahead with a calm face.
It was funny to see the number of people I liked because of just this, but I didn't show it.
After that, several elderly merchants came and bowed their heads in thanks.
The day went by without incident.
evening the next day.
The upper ranks were able to enter Haga Village in a narrow way.
Namgung-jin and Namgung-cheon went out to the restaurant as soon as they unpacked their luggage at the inn that Sohn Hak had arranged for them.
It was dinner time, so the restaurant was full of customers.
Still, the two were lucky enough to occupy a vacant seat by the window.
As soon as the two of them sat down, carp soup, stir-fried vegetables, and pork came out as if they had waited. Since it was a restaurant for guests, there was no need to order separately.
Namgungjin and Namgungcheon started eating the prepared food without saying anything.
The two of them drank tea leisurely after filling their empty stomachs to some extent. The restaurant was empty as the customers who had come in like the tide flowed out like the ebb tide. This is also a unique feature of the restaurant.
Suddenly, Namgungcheon asked.
“Have you heard the rumours about bandit group?”
"okay. One of them's inaction is particularly good, isn't it? They say it's second to the Green Forest Samzone. The Moorim people are so bluffing that I can’t tell.”
“Still, it doesn’t seem like a rumour at all, seeing as the name of the Merchant of Heaven and Earth goes up and down.”
“You won’t know until you hear from the merchant of heaven and earth. That's what rumors are originally."
Namgung-jin noticed that she was somehow hot.
“You will find out tomorrow. If you lower your tail like a red wind chive, you're exaggerating... … .”
“There is such a thing as bravado.”
“Please. I've never seen Nokrim show off his bravado in front of the Namgung family.”
“That’s true, but the inside of a person is so difficult to understand. Isn't there a law preventing such a person from appearing?”
“Are you thinking of checking the skills of bandit group?”
Although he is her cousin, after a ten-year age difference, Namgungcheon noticed Namgungjin.
She thought for a moment, and Namgung-jin lightly nodded her head.
“Isn’t that something someone has to do anyway? Because she just listens to gossip and can't keep her head down.”
“I do, though.”
Namgung-chun slurred her words, as if she was not very comfortable with her.
Some rumors are exaggerated, but the opposite is often true!
Namgoong-jin said with a slightly sad face.
“Soon, rumors will spread that Namgung Sega will escort her top tier. They'll laugh at us from behind if we act like the other tier escorts. I don't want to make that happen.”
“Don't be too harsh. Even for later when we quit.”
“Sure.”
Namgung-jin also had no intention of deciding between life and death.
Wouldn't it be ok if it was a subjugation or a gangho trip in the Namgung family? I didn't want to overdo it with the temporary escort.
next day.
As soon as the day dawned, the Sangdan left Hajia Village.
Upon entering the entrance of Obongsan Mountain, Son Hak-su looked around and said,
“Don’t you think Obongsan will pass quietly? It's because it's Jeokpungchae, Obongsanchae, and fifty bobaekbo. If you just pass by here, you will leave more than 200 nyang of the hermit, I hope that is the case.”
Namgungcheon asked Sohn Hak.
“Haengsoo-nim, have you ever seen bandit group?”
"Me? I didn't see it. I've only heard about it, but not many people have actually seen it. There are also rumours that since last year, Obong Tengeol has been sitting back.”
“You said you sat back?”
"Yes. Usually, the owners of the rice cookers just watch from behind, but at Obongsipgeol, they said it seemed like they were doing it as a group. In fact, not many people have seen the face of Obong Tengeol. It's hard to remember because there are ten members, but I think it's more because the activity period is short.”
“Then, are the merchants paying the toll on their own these days?”
"Yes."
"omg! Are you saying you only listen to rumours about bandit group?”
“It is a rumour, yes. If you want to sink a little, someone pokes at you. Not too long ago, Sangbang Hwayang touched Obongsanchae with the knights of Lukyang. What is it? Then it broke very cleanly. For the next few years, I will go around paying tolls again without saying anything.”
“Is it true that you got hit by bandit group?”
"Sure. It only confirmed that the martial arts of the bandit group are excellent.”
“One of them is said to be particularly good. Are there any rumours about him?”
“I’m a bit young, but they say martial arts are terrifying. He uses one bag of swords, and I heard that no one has ever received his one second.”
"Omg! He said no one took a second?”
“Haha, you have to strain your ears and listen. Isn't that the level of an escort warrior at the top?"
At Son Hak's words, Namgoong Jin smiled.
It was because Son Hak did not forget what he was going to say.
In the meantime, the guild continued to move and went deep into the mountain before they knew it.
Son Hak's finger pointed to a point in front.
“Usually, there is a green flag around there… … .”
Before he could finish his words, a spear flew in and stuck in the middle of the road.
pug.
A piece of green cloth tied to the spearhead fluttered and sank.
Sonhak opened his mouth wide and looked at Namgungjin and Namgungcheon alternately.
Even if you see the flag of the Namgung family, it's green!
No matter how much the Namgung family has fallen, it is still not to the extent of being looked down upon by green forests.
If that was the case, there was no way that greedy Jeokpungchae would have watched with bated breath.
'This sounds like Oh B bandit group doesn't care about Namgung's family.'
If Namgung family doesn't bow properly, things will get out of control.
At the thought of that, his heart jumped.
After a while, more than twenty thieves blocked the mountain path.
Hwang Yo-myeong, who has been hiking more diligently recently, exclaimed in a loud voice.
“Stop! You're not trying to cross the mountain without Obongsanchae's permission, right?"
Sohn Hak, who hesitated, quietly retreated back.
It was because he did not want to be photographed by Namgung Sega or Green Forest because he made fun of his mouth wrongly.
Namgoongjin slowly walked forward.
“I say Namgungse is Namgungjin, the great lord of the Changchun Dynasty. Who are you?”
Hwang Yo-myeong looked at Namgung-jin and the warriors lined up behind him with startled eyes.
Hwang Yo-myeong, who was only a county-level master, had nothing to do with the Namgung family, so he didn't even know the pattern.
Although his heart skipped a beat, Hwang Yo-myeong did not back down.
Obongsanchae is lined with masters, so you can't cringe here!
“I am called a single-hearted person in Gangho. Are you really Namgungse people?”
Namgoongjin laughed and replied.
"Exactly. Who would dare to go around pretending to be the name of the Namgung family, unless they were desperate to die? By the way, how are you with bandit group?”
"I'm lucky to be the one who attends Obongsipgeolnim. If you do not intend to ignore Obong Sanchae by putting the name of the Namgung family at the fore, show hum, hum, sincerity.”
Still, the opponent was the opponent, so Hwang Yo-myung could not hide his tension.
Namgoong-jin, who was looking at the opponent, asked.
“I have no intention of ignoring Obong Sanchae. However, personally, I want to see the inaction of Obong Tengeol. Are there bandit group among you?”
“Obongsipgeolnim are training in the wild, so you have to go up with us to meet them. The Merchant will have to wait here, will that be all right?"
Namgoongjin glanced back.
When her eyes met, Sohn Hak shook his head excitedly.
It is only natural that he would waste a whole day after going up and coming down. In addition, if Namgoong-jin was injured, even if it was only one chance, she would not be good for the rest of the trip.
Namgung-cheon suggested an alternative to Namgung-jin, who hesitated with a sad face.
“Brother, why don’t we just go today and take some time on the way back to Luoyang?”
Then Son Hak also nodded his head.
“It would be nice. We have a long way to go, but we can’t relax here.”
When everyone stopped him, Namgung-jin said as if he couldn't do it.
“Did you say you were single? Please tell Obon Tengeol. Cheoksa Swordsman Namgungjin said he would stop by on his way back.”
“Okay. By the way, what else are you going to do?"
Other work means toll.
Namgoongjin muttered with her grim face.
“Well, I still have to do what I normally do.”
Namgungcheon, who was quick to notice her, stepped out with a smile.
“Look. I've heard that it's one hermit per merchant, right?"
"exactly."
“Since there are twenty merchants, can I pay twenty nyang?”
“Yes.”
Unlike usual, Hwang Yo-myeong did not count the number of merchants.
It was because Namgoongse did not dare to engage in a war of nerves with people.
After a while, Son Hak paid 20 nyang, and the bandits from Obongsanchae quietly returned to the forest.
Namgung-jin looked at the forest with a blank face.
When she sees the thieves taking tolls on the Grand Namgung family, it doesn't seem real.
