Episode 163 One more layer of bean pods.
The sword dance performance entered the main hall.
He had his beard shaved clean and his hair neatly trimmed, and he was wearing a nice new military uniform and jangsam. Every time I took a step, I caught everyone’s attention.
It wasn’t just because he was handsome. He had a strange aura that attracted people. There was a sense of relaxation that can only be felt by people who are close to the extreme of nothingness, and a mysterious yet noble atmosphere that no one can imitate.
Jin Ha-ryeong did not recognize the sword dance. The pure admiration that came to mind the moment I saw him.
‘stylish!’
It was really cool. If someone asked her what kind of person she liked, she would say this. That person.
She wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts. The women watched the sword dance performance in fascination. Not only women but also men were equally deprived of attention.
“who is this?”
“I don’t know either. Who is it?”
“It’s a small cooperative I haven’t seen before?”
“handsome!”
These words were openly spoken here and there.
Attracting everyone’s attention, Geommugeuk walked to where Jin Ha-ryeong and Jo Shin were standing.
‘Why are you coming to us? ‘Ah, is this someone you know?’
While she was thinking that, Geommugeuk greeted her first.
“Jin Sozer is also here.”
Jin Ha-ryeong was startled.
‘Do you know me? ‘Who are you pretending to know?’
The voice was familiar to my ears. But even after hearing the voice, she did not recognize the other person. That’s why there was such a big difference between the sword dance I’ve seen so far and the sword dance I’m seeing now.
“Are you sure you don’t know me?”
I really didn’t know even at this moment. It never occurred to me that people with similar voices were the same person.
“Who are you?”
“They told me to tell them if someone is bothering me? Is this why you want to help me? “You don’t know and I’m going to harass you along with you?”
At that moment, Jin Ha-ryeong opened his eyes wide. That was exactly what he said. If someone is bothering you, tell them that the Murim Lord’s granddaughter is your friend.
“no way? you!”
“you’re right. That’s me.”
Jin Ha-ryeong screamed evilly without realizing it.
“I don’t know if this is something worth screaming about, but I’m the swordsman.”
When I looked again at those clear and deep eyes that were not like those of a servant, Geomyeon was right.
For a moment, a shiver ran through her body. The hairs all over my body stood up.
It makes me nervous to be near such a handsome man, but is this the Geom-yeon who was the servant?
she asked in a trembling voice.
“What happened?”
“I shaved my beard and straightened my hair. “I also bought new clothes.”
The courtier next to him was equally embarrassed.
He was so surprised and embarrassed that he could not react. I just stood there blankly with my eyes closed.
At first, he didn’t even recognize the sword dance. Because he was very proud of his appearance, he felt rejected when he saw a man who was more handsome than him.
That’s why I was already in a bad mood when the sword dance show appeared.
He felt bad that a guy who was more handsome than him was attending the banquet, but when he walked towards him with Jin Ha-ryeong, his nerves were on edge. What is this bastard? Why do you come this way?
‘But what? This guy is him? That dirty servant is this guy? No way? ‘It really can’t be!’
Josin really almost screamed and swore.
‘Was that guy this handsome?’
If this happens, your plan will go completely wrong. The plan was to erase the mystery and bring out the ordinary, but the real mystery came out. What made me even more angry was the fact that he even gave me money to get it out.
Geommugeuk greeted the courtier who was standing behind him.
“Prince Jo over there gave me money to buy clothes.”
Jin Ha-ryeong looked at Jo Shin with a surprised face.
“Really?”
“Ah yes. exactly.”
Jin Ha-ryeong misunderstood the situation.
“Oh, I really meant to apologize. I honestly didn’t believe you. sorry.”
“no.”
Truly, Josin was in a state where he could neither laugh nor cry.
He immediately sent a message to Geommugeuk.
-You bastard! go away! Get the hell out of here!
They were told to get out of the banquet hall, but Geomugeuk walked towards the later index members as if they had been told to leave this place.
“oh! There are many expensive and rare dishes. Can I eat as much as I want? Oh, there’s alcohol here too. “It smells very good.”
Everyone watched his every move. The sword dance performance did not put any pressure on people’s attention. I ate delicious food and drank alcohol. His actions were natural, as if he was the main character here.
Jin Ha-ryeong approached him as if possessed. “Damn it,” the courtier followed.
“You really seem like a different person.”
“It’s because I’m usually very messy.”
“Why didn’t you go around like this?”
“Why would a servant need to dress up?”
When he saw Jin Ha-ryeong’s eyes sparkling towards the sword dance, Jo Shin’s heart became urgent.
‘This isn’t right. ‘Not this!’
I had to change this situation somehow. When trying to remove the bean pod, a stronger bean pod would be placed on top.
Josin sent a nervous message to Geommugeuk.
-You bastard! Why did you come dressed up so nicely?
Then Geommugeuk looked at him. Jo Shin couldn’t refute the look in his eyes that told him he was the one who told him to come dressed up like this.
Besides, there was nothing special about it. All I did was shave my beard, straighten my hair, and buy new clothes. But even so, the sword dance performance shined.
The courtier had to pull off the sword dance somehow.
“We dressed up to the best of our ability to impress Jin Soger.”
“Yes, I tried to be cool on purpose.”
Jin Ha-ryeong’s cheeks turned slightly red as it sounded as if he was being fashionable for his own sake.
The sight made Josin sad.
‘shit! ‘This isn’t it either.’
It should be awkward, as if it was forced. That valet originally seemed like a person who would look good in such luxurious clothes.
At the same time, his behavior was revealed without shame, saying, ‘I made it up that I was coming to a banquet.’ It actually made him seem like a more confident person.
“Perhaps by coincidence, it’s the same color as Jin Sojer’s and his uniform.”
“Yes.”
The courtier, who could no longer watch this, sent a message to one of his men to talk to Jin Ha-ryeong.
While Jin Ha-ryeong was receiving his greetings, Josin took Geommugeuk to a corner.
“You crazy guy! “Do you want to die?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Would you like to take off the bean pods from Sojeo Jin’s eyes and receive 100,000 nyang today? Or do you want to waste 100,000 won and die by my hands? “It’s up to you.”
“So what should I do?”
“A woman has to do something that will make her love fall. They brag, pick fights with others, and even use injections! okay?”
Zhao Xin really had no idea that these words would come out of his own mouth. Have you ever tried to belittle someone this obscenely? If I had just killed him, I would have killed him.
But now he was anxious. I have to somehow embarrass myself before new bean pods stick to my eyes. I was really annoyed.
“Then give me the money first.”
“what?”
“I will do it if you give me 50,000 nyang. “After you finish, give me another 50,000 nyang.”
“You bastard! “Do you want to die?”
Josin raised his hand and tried to hit him, but Geommugeuk was not afraid.
“That’s what trading is all about. “I also have to make a living.”
“You worn-out piece of trash!”
At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong walked this way from over there. The courtier lowered his raised hand and touched the clothes of the sword dance.
“Our servant Xiaohyeop really seems like a different person.”
Then Geommugeuk spoke.
“As I said before, it’s all thanks to Confucius.”
“Honestly, it was the money I gave for our Jean Soger.”
“You really have a big heart and are wonderful.”
Geommugeuk did not spare praise for Josin.
Josin felt uneasy, as if he had opened something he shouldn’t have opened.
But that didn’t mean I could leave like this.
Jo Shin changed the topic.
“This time, we plan to make a large investment in the Murim Alliance.”
When Josin brought up the story, Geommugeuk took his place.
Jo Shin worked hard to boast about his family and money, but Jin Ha-ryeong’s eyes kept turning to Geommugeuk, who was talking with other late Jisoos. In particular, Jin Ha-ryeong clenched his fists when Yeohyeop, who was listening to the story of the sword dance, laughed at how funny it was.
How can the courtier not know her feelings?
Even though he stopped talking, Jin Ha-ryeong was only looking at the sword dance.
Jo Shin’s expression hardened.
Jin Ha-ryeong suddenly felt a chill and turned his head. Josin was staring at the sword dance in silence. The snake that had disappeared from her mind reappeared again.
“It’s a shame to have someone like that as my attendant. “Isn’t that right?”
“What can I do with my birthright?”
I felt regret in her answer. Zhao Xin was really angry.
‘Damn bitch! ‘Do you ignore me like this?’
I felt a surge of anger for no reason.
He sent a message again to Ji-su later, who had previously ordered him to talk to Ha-ryeong Jin.
-Induce a fight and have a fight with that bastard. When you beat someone, beat them mercilessly.
The later Jisoo who received the transfer was Hoyoung (胡英).
Hoyoung was a person with an ambition to grow his family by somehow impressing the courtiers. Therefore, I accepted the order without hesitation.
Hoyoung asked Geommugeuk.
“Seeing you wearing a sword, did you learn martial arts?”
“That’s right.”
“How did your servant learn martial arts?”
“That’s because the owner is a great person.”
“Can I learn some martial arts techniques taught by that great man?”
Everyone looked curious.
When Jin Ha-ryeong tried to stop him, Jo Shin spoke to her.
“Aren’t Jin Sozer curious? “What kind of martial arts has that servant learned and how much?”
Of course, Jin Ha-ryeong was curious, but he was more worried than that.
“But it won’t be enough to compete with later indices.”
“Hu Muin is the son of a noble family, and he would not hurt that servant.”
At that time, Geomgeuk spoke to Hoyoung.
“If I use a sword, I’ll get hurt, so let’s compete with boxing.”
“great.”
Hoyoung was dumbfounded. I really didn’t know that he would be so willing to fight.
‘I’ll definitely break it in one place.’
Pretending it was a mistake and breaking your arm or leg would be enough to satisfy the courtier.
“Then please be gentle.”
“great. I’ve done my best to serve and serve all my life. “What a wonderful day it is.”
Hoyoung was caught off guard. Because it was embarrassing to show myself nervous.
Geommugeuk dodged Hoyoung’s fist. I didn’t dodge it lightly, but I dodged it while almost falling. Laughter broke out here and there.
Hoyoung’s fist flew again, and this time, Geomgeuk dodged it by rolling on the floor. Hoyoung, who was pursuing his sword dance as if he was hunting, looked around and smiled.
“This one is so bland….”
“Be careful!”
The moment you turn your head to someone’s shout.
puck!
Hoyoung was knocked down by Geommugeuk’s fist. He let his guard down and allowed a proper hit. Moreover, he fell and broke the table, and the food that was there ended up splashing and staining the courtier’s clothes.
Even so, Josin was so angry that he couldn’t hold back and exploded.
“Holy shit!”
On the other hand, Geomugeuk ran and looked at the fallen Hoyoung.
“Fortunately, there were no serious injuries.”
The contrast between the sword dance of examining the opponent’s wounds and his own actions of swearing for having food on his clothes made Josin feel embarrassed. Everyone didn’t say it, but there was contempt in the way everyone looked at them.
But what made him even more angry was that Jin Ha-ryeong wasn’t even paying attention to him and was just looking at the sword dance.
“Sorry, I got too excited.”
Geommugeuk apologized to the reviewers who were watching.
Jin Ha-ryeong came forward and spoke on their behalf.
“It’s nothing to apologize for. “The person who did not focus on the dance was at fault.”
Everyone nodded at Jin Ha-ryeong’s words. At least in this fight, Hoyoung was caught off guard, so he couldn’t be blamed for the sword dance’s surprise attack.
Jin Ha-ryeong said goodbye to Jo Shin.
“Okay, I’ll leave for today. “Now you go too.”
Jin Ha-ryeong left the banquet hall with a sword dance. A crashing sound was heard from behind. I didn’t know what was broken, but I knew who broke it.
Geommugeuk walked back along the moonlit path with Jin Ha-ryeong.
She was worried about the sword dance again.
“This has made you more dangerous.”
Then Geomgeuk suddenly spoke.
“friend.”
For a moment, Jin Ha-ryeong was surprised.
“Why are you so surprised? “Didn’t we decide to be friends?”
“No, that’s right.”
“friend. You are the granddaughter of the Murim lord, a member of Hubei Ilmi, and a candidate to win the Soryong Battle. You are most like yourself and cool when you are proud and elegant. “It doesn’t suit you to always worry about someone like this.”
After a moment, Jin Ha-ryeong spoke.
“Then can I trust you? “Are you confident that I won’t have to suffer a miserable death because of a guy like that and feel guilty for the rest of my life?”
“there is.”
“really? “How can you believe that?”
“Because we are friends. “Trust your friend.”
“You said I look haughty and elegant, but I’m not that kind of girl. I am a timid person who thinks a lot, worries a lot, and has a lot of regrets. I don’t like meeting people, so I don’t know how to let go of my hurt. So, you can’t surprise me later.”
“Okay, I won’t do that.”
It was ridiculous, but she trusted Geommugeuk’s words. Although I had no basis for faith, I had faith.
This time, Geomgeuk spoke.
“Instead, please make me one promise.”
“What promise?”
“From now on, if something strange or incomprehensible happens in your life, you will definitely come to me and tell me.”
It wasn’t just something I said about this meeting. It was also something he said when he felt signs of something that would happen to the Murim Alliance someday.
“That kind of moment in my life…”
No matter how much she thought about it.
“Now?”
Then Geommugeuk said with a faint smile.
“Yes, if something strange and incomprehensible like now happens, definitely. Now, let’s go back.”
Jin Ha-ryeong looked silently at the back of the sword dance that was walking ahead. Suddenly, this thought occurred to me. As he said, it would be better now to show the haughty and elegant appearance of Hubuk Japan rather than worrying about unnecessary things.
She began to walk towards the sword dance that was waiting in front of her, asking if she was coming.
