“Isn’t that a question of discipline hazard?”
“There will be a part of that, but I think we need to figure out how the Hangzhou ship came to be first.”
“How did you get here?”
“Yes, for example… If the Hangzhou sa ship came running after receiving a message that it had been attacked…”
“What is that… What? Can’t you? What is the distance from Hangzhou to here, so are you here at that time?”
“So… … What if you came?” Such a level of hard work is impossible even for Namgung Cheolun.
“Don’t you know too well that there are as many guinea pigs as grains of sand in Moorim?”
“What about their prayers?”
“It seemed that he hadn’t learned martial arts. So the meal offering is more suspicious.”
Namgung Cheol-woon nodded. “Isn’t that the point where you can even hide your prayers?”
When one reached a certain level of martial arts, the energy naturally radiated. It was like the smell of sweat, and it was not something you can hide by trying to hide it. “If you can capture prayers so perfectly, you can say that you have reached the level of refutation, but did you know that there are at most fifty masters who have reached that level in the present Moorim?”
“Of course. So I thought that Soze was making an absurd misunderstanding, but even so, I thought that it would be better to treat the Hangzhou Saship with the utmost sincerity.”
Even if they misunderstood, there was nothing wrong with making friends with Hangzhou ships, as they were quite famous people in Hangzhou. “But at first glance, it seems that Hyeyeon is interested in Geom Woobin, is that true?”
At that, Namgung Seongwon smiled. “It does look like that. According to Shibi, she changed her clothes twelve times when the news that Geom Woo-bin had arrived. I got a message that she was coming, and I had her clothes picked up.”
“This is really annoying. Doesn’t this mean he’s getting married to the foundry kid? Even so, our Namgung Sega can’t just be tied to the brewery, right?”
“There is no problem, but it is difficult to look down as it is just a brewery. You don’t know because only my brother doesn’t enjoy alcohol that much, but Hangzhou’s scammer is too great to be just a drink. It is a drink that cannot be sold because it is not available. They get 60 hermits per bottle at Giru, but they say that you have to wait your turn to drink that as well.”
“Sixty hermits for a bottle of wine? Isn’t that more than our Sega’s samurai salary?”
“That’s right. A few years ago, a strange rumor circulated in Hangzhou. It is said that the hermits of Hangzhou dried up when Wu Seon Manor earned hermits and did not use them.”
“What? Pu ha ha ha! That is too much of a rumor!”
“That’s right, but just ask the western label. It seems that this wasn’t just a rumor. Therefore, it should not be underestimated as a mere foundry. How many good deeds he did there, would it be called Hangzhou Saseon? The public sentiment they gained is by no means a small fortune.”
Namgung Sega, who reigned as the loser in Anhui province, was looking for an opportunity to expand her power into her Zhejiang province. Despite the large cities of Hangzhou and Suzhou, Zhejiang Province did not have any significant Muslim forces other than the Dong clan.
In that sense, if they had a good relationship with Oh Seon Manor, it could be an excellent bridge for Namgung Sega to advance into Zhejiang Province. “For now, we must not neglect to treat them.”
The Blood Lion was able to hear the full story of the incident that was later attacked by Geom Woo-bin.
“A cup of nothing? Who else are they?” They were so insignificant for the Blood Lion, they were unheard of.
“Just hearing the name is a catch. Anyway, I’m glad they were weak. What if they were strong?”
Geom Woo-bin smiled at Seo Seok-san’s words. “If we were strong, we would have attacked from the front instead of using a trick like a screenshot. That’s why we let Screen Seconds work.”
“Isn’t it because you were fussing at night in my pharmacy to make an antidote? That’s what Mandok said.”
Do Pyeong-su belatedly said, ‘Ah! Did you say that even the death penalty can read the facial expressions?’
He scratched his head. “Still, I don’t know what kind of variables will arise in Moorim. We have to choose the safest way possible.”
“I will keep that in mind. Are the four qualities good? Any newcomers?”
Only then did the Blood Lion realize that he had brought them upside down. “Are you going to sit down now? Even if you’re stupid, you won’t be that stupid, right? Right?”
“I can’t stand it until now. If I keep doing that, will I die?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Yes? Oh no. Those guys are fine. Hahaha!”
Before Geom Woo-bin asked any more questions, Sibi’s voice could be heard outside. “This is a message from the Lord asking us to have dinner together.”
The Blood Lion was unexpected. If it was the head of the Namgungse family, the position it occupied in Moorim was close to the best. It was one of two things where such a person invited mere breweries or people to a meal.
“Is Namgung Cheolun good enough?”
Seo Seok-san answered Do Pyung-soo’s question. “I heard that he has quite a bit of talent, but he is famous for being an idiot with stronger self-esteem than his skills.”
“Why is he inviting us?”
Geom Woo-bin told Si-bi that he would find out sooner or later. “That’s how great our Oseon Jangwon is.”
The Blood Lion looked at Geom Woo-bin with an expression that said she did not understand. “What? Are you just making and selling alcohol?”
“Can’t you just call the liquor merchant a hang-jusa ship?”
“Hey, that’s what the idiots who like to name gave it to them. What have we done?”
All he had to do was catch a few bounties and help those in need a few times. It was done purely to get Geom Woo-bin’s praise, so the Blood Wind Lion was ignored. However, because of the good deeds that Geom Woo-bin performed in the name of Hangzhou, the Blood Lion had a much greater reputation in Hangzhou.
“I don’t know about the priests, but for the most part, money is power. Priests, are you keeping the money I gave you?”
“Yes. Stuck under the bed… No, it was piled up step by step.”
“I threw it in the closet… No, it is well organized.”
“Sister Yeon is meticulous, so I don’t think there is anything to worry about, and Priest Jang… … Yes? Are you at the pharmacy? Why do you keep your slips in the drugstore as a hermit?”
Do Pyeong-su groaned. “Did you write the slip as a spark? It doesn’t matter that I didn’t write a few pages! If the death penalty told you to keep it, you should keep it well!”
“It’s okay. You can keep it well in the future. Anyway, the fact that Gaju invited us to a meal means that our manor Oh has grown so much that even Namgung-se cannot ignore it.”
Geom Woo-bin was proud, but the Blood Lion evidently looked embarrassed. “It’s hard to be famous.”
“The more eyes you see, the more likely it is that it will be known that we are in Hangzhou.”
Geom Woo-bin read through such a bloody lion. “Don’t worry. Who would think of an antidote as a blood lion?”
“Haha! Yes?” The Blood Lion and the Anti-Season were names that were at the extremes.
As they talked, it was time for dinner. Everyone stood up, but Seok-san suddenly spoke. “Oh! If we go on like this, there is one problem!”
“What problem?”
“You and our faces. On the surface, we look twenty years older than you. is not it?”
“Therefore?”
“If Namgung-se did something to us in a public place, everyone would think it was strange, right?” Dopyeong also apparently struck a match.
“Yes! Don’t you think you’re a complete soybean family?”
Geom Woo-bin replied, “Then sister-in-law Yeon can tell the three priests ‘brother,’ right?”
Geom Woo-bin spoke lightly, but she put on a terrifying expression on Pension Hong. “Never!”
Even Geom Woo-bin was startled by the intense reaction of Yeon Geum-hong. “I’m just acting for a while…”
“Even in dreams, not in acting, you can’t call those poor people bro!”
“Then what do you do? You won’t be able to say a word at dinner.”
At Seoksan’s words, the other screamed. “I’m not eating!”
“Ho ho ho! Woo-bin is called her aunt Pension Hong.” Seo Seok-san helped Seok-san as he greeted Namgung Cheol-un.
“This is our ‘youngest.’ Heh heh…”
“It is nice to meet you here. The cooperation on the Hangzhou Saship has grown from here to Anhui Province.”
They greeted each other warmly and took their seats. On the side of Namgung Sega, Namgung Cheolun, Namgung Seongwon, and Namgung Hyeyeon were seated. The food laid out on the round table was neat, tidy, and tasted great.
“Is this duck delicious? The skin is crispy and the flesh is moist.”
“The fish doesn’t even smell fishy and it’s chewy. Namgung-se and Suk-soo are pretty good at cooking.”
“When I get back, I’ll have to tell you to learn how to cook.”
The Blood Lion ate really comfortably. It was a meeting with the head of the Namgung-sae family, but it seemed like he didn’t care at all. In fact, if one were to tell them that they were the head of the Namgung family, they would be like a young junior who knew how to use a sword.
Because of that, the food in his mouth pushed around while he tried to smile. Was there another joke for today?
“The youngest. Try this mushroom stir-fry too. It smells great.”
Seo Seok-san put the mushroom stir-fry on top of the rice with a grin. The face of Almighty Hong was distorted so that he could not tell whether he was smiling or crying.
“Oh, thank you.”
“And?”
“Brother.”
The name that was spat out between them was too low, and it was soon buried by Namgung Chul-woon’s voice.
“The friendship of the brothers is very good. But out of the three, who is the oldest? It’s hard to tell by looks.”
In an instant, the blood lion’s chopsticks stopped. He had forgotten how to set the ranks of the other three because he had been making fun of Almond Hong. The four looked into each other’s eyes.
‘What should I do? Would you call me the eldest?’
Seo Seok-san thought that was the most reasonable thing. He looked presbyopia because his hair was a little thinner than other people, and it was advantageous to nail the nails first in such a place.
But then the other two said, ‘Don’t be bullshit! How are you the older brother!’
“It’s triplets!”
Do Pyeong-su’s voice resounded, and the room was engulfed in silence for a while. are triplets The twins didn’t necessarily have the same face, but Namgoong Seongwon was evidently willing to stake all of his fortunes on the fact that there had never been a single case of twins with completely different faces like the three of them.
“Yes? Well, that’s very odd. No, it doesn’t mean anything. You don’t look alike.”
It was an answer that made even the head of the kingdom of Namgung-se embarrassed. “Yeah, we didn’t look alike. Still, if you look closely, Mandok is rare, and my ears and Seoksan’s belly button are similar to mine. Hahaha!”
‘Try, try.’
Anyway, the unexpected crisis passed safely to Do Pyeong-su’s base, and therefore, the meal promptly continued. It was a pleasant and friendly meal time for everyone, but Yeon was an exception. It was because he had to give such respectful terms to the men in front of him.
‘Those, just go to the room!’ As she was grinding her teeth alone, Namgoong-cheol’s voice was heard.
“Did Woo-bin say he’s thirteen?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s amazing that she goes so far to do business at the age when she should be studying at the school.”
“She is a wonderful aunt, thanks to her uncles who taught her well.”
“Then, do you plan to inherit Oseon Manor and continue to run the brewery?”
“I haven’t thought about the future yet.”
“If she wants to do something big, she should think about it in advance.”
Even though those words didn’t make it, they touched the heart of the man who was not in a good mood.
“Does that mean that if she runs a foundry, she can’t do much… This…?”
“Because there are many bigger things in the world.”
“What if it’s a big deal? Ah! Is Namgung Se the same? Do you think it’s smaller than our Oseon Manor here?”
It was an insult to Namgoong Cheol-woon, who was proud of himself, even though he was only compared to a brewery.
“The Namgung Sega is one of the five generations of Moorim, and the person in this position is the head of this Sega.”
With the utmost patience, he politely warned. But, except for when he was practicing, he was far from patience, and the only opponent who needed politeness was his master, Hwajeoksan.
“If it’s the fifth generation of Moorim… Ah! Under the old Daemun school and the opening… ”
Taang!
As Namgoong Cheol-Woon knocked on the table, Yeon-Joo Hong was unable to finish what he was trying to say. “Five families who are boring…”
“Are you trying to insult me in my own house?” Namgoong-cheol’s voice, which had his voice low, was evidently full of anger.
“Do you feel that this is an insult? Shall I show you what a real insult is… This?”
Seo Seok-san, startled, grabbed her wrist as Jeon Yeong-hong grabbed her chopsticks. “Geumhong-ah, stop it.”
“Let it go. Before I cut off her finger.”
It was the unwritten rule of the Blood Lion that when someone turns the faucet, it never stopped. Seo Seok-san looked out of her and lifted her hand.
