Episode 755. Disciple is fine! (5)
“for a moment! for a moment!”
A beggar ran as fast as he could towards the dock.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok!”
It was only when he reached the dock that he bent down and took a deep breath, and as if such leisure was a luxury, he hurriedly looked around and grabbed a random person.
“Hey, hey, let’s ask something!”
“what?”
“Well, wasn’t a merchant ship here leaving this afternoon?”
“Oh, that boat?”
“yes!”
“What’s a beggar to do with a merchant ship?”
“that… … It’s because someone I know rides it. What happened to that ship? “I don’t think it’s time to leave yet?”
“People gathered early so we already set sail.”
“yes?”
“I left earlier. The oral cavity is probably gone already. “If you want to find a boat, look for the next one.”
At those words, the beggar sat down in shock.
“oh my… … .”
In his hand was a letter in a red envelope.
“No, they say the ship has gone. How are we supposed to deliver this? I am now beaten to death by the king… … .”
My eyes were filled with despair as I looked at the Yangtze River, which was constantly flowing to the point of being cruel.
* * *
The boat moved slowly and smoothly along the Yangtze River.
It is a sight that is nothing special. There are probably hundreds of boats going up and down the Yangtze River every day.
But there was someone standing at the bow who made that common sight unusual.
“I see you are the son of a noble family.”
“Why did you get on a boat like this? “You’re going to go on a hwabang (play cruise), right?”
“You must have gotten sick of that.”
“Anyway, you’re really handsome,”
Baekcheon’s face trembled at the whispering voice in his ear.
‘I told you not to attract attention.’
Rather than avoiding attention, isn’t this at the level of attracting people? But I couldn’t bear to express my dissatisfaction.
“It looks like there’s a servant next to him.”
“Since you are a nobleman, of course the servant will follow you.”
“You just look like a servant, so why are you asking?”
Baekcheon’s eyes were filled with pity as he looked at Baeksang. However, Baeksang spoke in a toneless voice with half-opened eyes and a face that had attained enlightenment.
“… … “Don’t say anything.”
“… … ivory.”
“Because when I receive comfort, I want to cry.”
“… … .”
They seem like cruel people.
It was a whisper that no one else could hear, but it pierced the warrior’s ears very clearly. So I can’t blame them… … .
huh?
Guys? Why are you guys whispering there together?
‘What are those baskets…? … .’
As I watched Hwasan disciples, including Yunjong, pointing in this direction, my heart began to sweat.
All Baekcheon could do was pat Baeksang’s shoulder… … .
“Do not touch. “I ask the servant.”
“… … .”
What a timid bastard.
“Anyway, will the enemies come?”
“Shh. “The voice is loud.”
“… … no. Why are you so careful? “This is a shipboard, and the ship has already departed. No matter how sharp your ears are, will you be able to hear what is being said here?”
“There may be enemies on this ship.”
Surprised by those words, Baeksang slightly shook his neck.
“Is it a boat?”
“No matter how well the enemy knows the Yangtze River, they cannot know all the boats that come and go on the river. “You can also have one person on board the ship you are targeting to send a signal.”
“… … “I didn’t see anyone who was particularly skilled in martial arts.”
“Just because you agree with the enemy doesn’t necessarily mean you have learned martial arts. If it were me, I would recruit one of the merchants or a sailor.”
“ah… … .”
Baeksang nodded his head loudly.
When I look at it like this, it feels like Baekcheon from long ago.
“So do you think the enemy will come?”
“First of all, since the bait has been spread, I guess it will happen. “It will probably come sooner or later.”
“Why?”
“It wouldn’t be very common for a special ship to cross the Yangtze River. “You don’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Baeksang nodded as if he understood.
It is unclear whether they are really targeting the valuables transported by the special agent, or whether they have some other purpose. However, for whatever reason, the opportunity to aim for a special ticket would not come often, so there was a high chance of seizing it when the opportunity did come.
You may not know if you are very dark about oral information, but if you heard the news, it will definitely come.

“What if you don’t come?”
“Then that’s a relief.”
“yes?”
Baekcheon said, casting his gaze into the distance.
“If it doesn’t come even after repeating it once or twice, it means that they weren’t aiming for a special ticket with a specific purpose, but it was just a coincidence. Then it will be easy to solve the problem.”
“iced coffee.”
“but… … well.”
If things had gone smoothly like that, we wouldn’t have been going through all this trouble.
“Anyway, nothing much will happen for a while. This is because the flow speed is slow and there is a high probability that it will appear in sparsely populated places. “But just in case, don’t relax until then.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
Baeksang responded quietly and glanced back.
It was a strange feeling to see the people chatting happily with the passengers.
‘It’s reassuring, but… … .’
Now, it can be said that Hwasan’s disciples have joined the ranks of proud masters.
Although he has not yet reached that level, the five swords can already be heard as experts no matter where they are placed in the powerhouse, whether in terms of performance or skill.
but… … .
‘I wonder if those skills will be fully demonstrated on the water.’
This was difficult to predict.
Considering Ogum’s skills, I don’t think there would be any particular problem, but considering the fact that even those prominent factions are reluctant to eliminate their enemies, it is not something that is easy to see.
‘I hope nothing happens.’
Baekcheon seemed to think that something would happen somehow, but Baeksang just hoped that nothing like that would happen and that everything would be peaceful.
With these two different thoughts in mind, the boat slowly sailed down the Yangtze River.
“… … “There’s nothing to do.”
“Iknow, right.”
Yunjong’s face was full of boredom. The excitement of seeing the scenery of the Yangtze River unfolding outside the ship has gradually disappeared.
It was the first time since Cheongmyeong came to Hwasan that he had the experience of wasting time like this. That guy really can’t sit still for even a moment.
“Would you like to do some training?”
“Arthur. “There is so much snow, but now you and I are ordinary merchants.”
“… … Okay. “I’m dying.”
Jo Geol looked like he was about to die.
It is said that there are some people who enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River by taking a slow boat ride, but it did not suit them.
If you enjoy the scenery, mountains are better than rivers. Because I can jump up the mountain on my own feet.
“I hope they come quickly, even if only in small numbers.”
“That’s unlucky… … .”
“Why are you doing this? “I came here to find my enemy in the first place.”
“But if you can avoid meeting, it’s better not to meet.”
“why?”
“Okay. The explanation is long. “It’s better if no problems arise.”
“Is it because Cheongmyeong is missing?”
Yoonjong fell silent for a moment in response to Jogeol’s question.
I didn’t really mean to say that, but after hearing Jo Geol’s question, I was speechless.
‘Is that really true?’
If Cheongmyeong were here, everyone would have been busy trying to stop the guy who was going on a rampage trying to catch his enemy.
But at least I don’t think I was afraid of encountering enemies.
‘There’s no need to say these thoughts.’
Yoonjong opened his mouth, pretending to be calm. But before he could say anything, Jo Geol spoke.
“Honestly, I’m a little anxious, death.”
“huh?”
“… … “Cheongmyeong.”
Yunjong looked at Jo Geol with slightly surprised eyes. If I were to choose a person who would not say something like this among the five swords, the first would be Yu Yi-seol, and the second would be Jo Geol-seol.
“When I was there, it was just really… … I was very sure about getting my face hurt… … .”
“You’re just randomly saying that it’s not really in front of you… … .”
“Isn’t it true? “I have a temper that makes me want to turn everything upside down.”
“no. ‘If only I had the strength.’”
“Yes, that’s right. Anyway, since there is no one… … .”
Jo Geol trailed off.
“What can I say… … . “I’m not sure I can explain it well.”
“done. “I know it even if I don’t hear it.”
Yoonjong lightly waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
I was surprised that Jo Geol would say something like this, but I understood what he was feeling. Because he was feeling the same thing.
Although I had already expected it, the empty space in Cheongmyeong that I actually experienced was much bigger than I expected.
“Still, don’t be weak. “Unless you want to go back and listen to Cheongmyeong making fun of him and telling him to die.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
Jo Geol nodded with an unusually heavy expression.
“What are you thinking, accident?”
Yu Yi-seol, who was standing on the railing and looking out at the river, turned her head to Dang So-so’s question and gave a short answer.
“volcano.”
“Are you still thinking about the volcano after coming all the way here?”
“Because it’s home.”
A slightly strange expression crossed Tang Xiaoxiao’s face.
‘It’s home.’
Although Tang Soso is a worthy disciple of Hwasan, he still does not think about Hwasan as much as Yu Yi-seol. No, perhaps none of Hwasan’s disciples think of Hwasan as much as Yu Iseol.
“Aren’t you worried about the execution you left behind?”
“A trouble maker. “You can take care of yourself wherever you are.”
“… … “It is true.”
“I’m worried about Jang Moon-in.”
“… … “That is also true.”
Yu Yi-seol looked at Tang So-so with an expressionless face and asked.
“Are you worried?”
“no. I’m not worried. “No worries.”
“No, not Sajil.”
“… … .”
When Tang Soso could not readily answer, Yu Iseol stirred slightly.
“don’t worry.”
“Yes, when it’s dangerous, accidents happen…” … .”
“You too are a proud swordsman of the volcano.”
“… … .”
“I’m not weak. So it’s okay.”
Tang Xiaoxiao, who was looking at Yu Yi-seol blankly for a moment, bit her lip. And after a while she lifted her head and smiled.
“Yes, accident! “I will protect you this time!”
A small smile appeared on Yu Iseol’s lips.
“okay.”
And that was then.
Hyeyeon approaches Baekcheon, who is standing at the bow, and speaks softly.
“A hundred thousand donations.”
“Yes, monk.”
“The ship approaching in front of me looks a little strange.”
“yes?”
Hyeyeon said with a stern expression.
“The ships that have passed so far have turned their bows in advance when they get this close, but that ship shows no signs of doing so. It’s still a long way away, so I can’t make any hasty conclusions, but… … .”
Baekcheon frowned slightly and looked at the boat that Hyeyeon pointed to.
‘It doesn’t look like there’s anything special about its appearance.’
But that’s natural.
If you can recognize in advance that it is an enemy ship, you will naturally run away as soon as you see it from afar. It is common sense to approach a location that cannot be avoided while hiding your identity.
“White shark.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
“Call the kids.”
“yes!”
Baeksang carefully called his disciples who were scattered throughout the ship. A slight tension flashed across the faces of everyone who quickly gathered around Baekcheon.
“Are you here?”
“I don’t know yet. however… … .”
Baekcheon was lost in thought, his eyes still fixed on the ship.
‘Still not changing direction.’
Basically, it is difficult for those on the receiving end of headwinds to change direction. So, it is basic for the side receiving the tailwind to change direction. So, if it were a normal ship, it would have turned around by now.
But now we were close enough to see this side clearly, but the ship didn’t seem to have any intention of changing direction.
The helmsman also moved to change this direction since that ship was not turning. But then, a new sail was unfurled on a ship approaching from the other side.
“omg!”
“Uh, that!”
Everyone gasped in shock.
A vivid black dragon pattern that looks as if it will jump into the Yangtze River and swim at any moment. It was the Yangtze River Waterway.
“We are outnumbered!”
“The enemy is coming!”
Sounds that could not be described as screams or shouts erupted from all over the ship. Baekcheon let out a long breath and opened his mouth with an unfazed expression.
“I guess… … .”
However, before his instructions could be given, everyone took out the plum blossom swords they had hidden in their luggage.
Baekcheon, who took over his sword, pulled it out slightly and nodded.
“It seems our moves worked. Get ready, it’s coming!”
“yes!”
Everyone watched the enemy ship approaching with ever sharper eyes.
