Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 223. I am not a person who likes to fight.

Lee Si-hwa warmed up at the bonfire on one side and stared at Yeon Jeok-ha at work.

The pyre he made was all thick logs.

At first glance, it was better than what my father had brought and sold.

The time it took for the double loader to tie the two loads of trees was no more than an hour (15 minutes).

If I hadn’t lit a bonfire along the way, it would have ended much earlier.

When he tied a bundle of wood and came to the campfire, Lee Si-hwa said.

“Wow! really good Brother, why don’t you rather be a woodcutter?”

“You say you don’t know yet, but I can make money just by standing with my hands behind my back.”

“Sheesh! Nonsense. What kind of job is there in the world?”

“Because it’s real. When people see me, they know me and just give me money.”

Of course, it happened when I was in Obong Sanchae.

Lee Shi-hwa had no choice but to believe her cousin when she spoke so seriously.

“My mom and dad can’t make money even if they work late into the night. How can I earn well like my older brother?”

“Are you good at fighting?”

“no.”

“Then it will be a bit difficult.”

“Can’t my brother teach me?”

“hey! Do you think this can be learned in a day or two? It took me ten years.”

Lee Si-hwa did not cling to the fact that it took ten years.

I gave up because my cousin brother couldn’t stay in Seokjangchon for ten years.

“Let’s go down.”

The couple carried a bundle of wood on each shoulder and descended the mountain with Lee Si-hwa at the fore.

Yeonjeokha lightly tossed the load of wood into the yard.

When there was a ‘thump’, Lee Woo-seok, who was in the room, opened the door and poked his head out.

“What is that?”

Lee Si-hwa quickly took the place of Yeon Jeok-ha.

“My older brother did it in the mountains because he used the firewood yesterday.”

“Tsk! Because it’s okay. all that stuff By the way, the enemy, please come in for a while.”

“yes.”

I brushed off my hands and went into the room.

Lee Woo-seok, who was sitting in the room, made an excuse as he made eye contact with Yeon Jeok-ha.

“During the winter, there is no work, so the men of Seokjang Village are mostly confined to their homes. When I go out, I have nothing else to do besides drinking and gambling.”

“Ah yes.”

“My aunt and Yuhwa went to another house to help prepare for the 70th birthday party. Are you really staying in Hyeongyang County?”

“yes.”

“sorry. He’s an only-in-law, and he’s poor to have one, so he can’t be treated well.”

“are you okay. You don’t have to worry about being treated well elsewhere.”

Lee Woo-seok just nodded his head because he knew that Yeon Jeok-ha was wrong.

At that time, Shihwa Lee came into the room and squatted in the corner.

In the summer, he would wait outside, but since it was winter, he just came in.

Lee Woo-seok, accustomed to living in a single room, didn’t care much.

“I just met the village chief.”

Lee Si-hwa pretended not to hear and listened without breathing.

It is only natural that the family has been turned upside down due to her sister’s marriage.

“I said I couldn’t get married, but he didn’t accept it.”

“You don’t accept it?”

“Hyungyang, my relative, even said that he had decided to come, and he said he would just go ahead with it. Rather, I was told to persuade you.”

“So will you convince me?”

“Do I look like someone who will push through the marriage my daughter rejected?”

“…”

It was a mysterious face that continued to mate.

When there was no answer he expected, Wooseok Lee said with a bitter face.

“What do you want me to do now? I don’t think the chief has any intention of giving up. Would you rather run away at night? No matter where you go, you can’t live like this.”

“You haven’t committed a crime, so why are you running away at night? Do you think rumors will spread that your mother-in-law ran away because she didn’t want to pay off her debt? I might report it to the government department.”

“Then what?”

“What are you worried about? If you want to mix things up like that, ask him to do it alone. Didn’t I tell you that you won’t stay overnight?”

“I said so during the day.”

“That’s all right. You should be ashamed of yourself by setting it up for a wedding ceremony alone.”

“ha! It’s not going to end that easily. Looking at it today, it looks like the village chief is going to take Yuhwa by force.”

“Nothing like that.”

Lee Woo-seok looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with a suspicious face.

It suddenly jumps into his life and bangs loudly, but it is very uneasy.

“Honestly, if the chief pushes us, we have no choice but to follow. Do you know where this is? In Seokjangchon, Seok is the king. Even if we send five or six strong men from his household, we cannot stop it. It seems that a late night getaway is the best.”

While talking, Lee Woo-seok became engrossed in his argument and his butt was already shaking.

“That’s because you don’t need to. If you just want to stay still, let’s hold a ceremony for Yuhwa (a coming-of-age ceremony where you put in a hairpin and wear a hairpin).”

“Gyeye?”

Wooseok Lee narrowed his eyes at the sudden sound.

Of course, Yuhwa was sixteen, so he was past the age of giving rites. It is because women from ordinary households hold rites at the age of 15.

“Are you saying we should hold a ceremony for Yuhwa on the wedding day?”

“yes.”

“I understand your feelings, but the village chief isn’t a fool, can he just watch it? The house will be a mess and Yuhwa will be taken to the wedding ceremony.”

“My sword is not a decoration. No one will be able to put a finger on Yuhwa’s body.”

Yeonjeokha tapped the sword attached to his waist.

Even so, Wooseok Lee still has an anxious face.

For no reason, there was an unprecedented worry that my nephew would be arrested by the government department.

“Don’t do that. If we run away at night, it will end well without anyone getting hurt, so why?”

“I heard that a relative of the village chief is the county governor? Are you prepared to avoid government officials for the rest of your life? Even if I were the village chief, would you report it to the government department?”

A heavy silence flowed from Lee Woo-seok’s mouth.

Wouldn’t you know if you give the money back and run away?

It seemed that if he ran away at night while in debt, he would surely be able to do so.

Suddenly, Lee Woo-seok felt resentful of Yeon Jeok-ha.

I don’t know why they pretend not to know when they have a thousand nyang.

If he only paid off his debt, he would have run away without hesitation.

“Will the rites be all right? Don’t worry about money. I will make the preparations.”

For a moment, Wooseok Lee almost burst out.

I don’t know why they keep insisting on the rites that the village chief would obviously overturn.

If I had the money, I’d rather pay off the debt.

“People will make fun of us if we say that we will do the rites in our circumstances. If you have money to spend on that, you’ll tell me to pay off the debt first?”

Lee Woo-seok hinted at the debt story.

I would rather pay off my debt than spend money on one mana and one rite.

However, the serial enemy pretended not to hear and spoke out.

“Even if you think about cancer, the precepts are perfect. When the village chief gathers guests for a wedding ceremony, he sets a counter-fire as a rite. I will open it grandly so that it will be remembered forever.”

In the end, Lee Woo-seok had to give up his expectations of debt settlement.

I didn’t want to care if I did or not if I couldn’t get away at night.

No matter what you do, the mayor will overturn the game.

“do whatever you want.”

Permission fell from the mouth of Lee Woo-seok, who was desperate.

On the day of the wedding, no one was allowed to leave the house anyway, so something had to be done.

‘Guests are the only family members, so it’ll be over if you give Yuhwa a hairpin.’

Of course, there is no guarantee that it will end happily.

“It’s an enemy.”

“yes?”

“If things go wrong later, never think about fighting.”

“I’m not a person who likes to fight.”

Then, Lee Si-hwa, who had been listening silently in the corner, said a word as if her mouth was itchy.

“I heard that brother learned only to fight for ten years.”

“It means you trained in martial arts.”

“A pure liar. He asked if I was good at fighting because he asked me to teach him how to make money.”

“So, even if the village chief takes the oil painting, you can just look at it?”

“I am asking because I am really curious. Are you confident enough to stop the village chief from sending people?”

“hey! Did you see me woodpecker? Do you think those people are stronger than trees?”

“Are trees and people the same?”

“You say it because you don’t know, but people are easier.”

When dealing with a tree, one’s realm is projected, but a person can match his level. So, from the point of view of Yeon Jeok-ha, trees were more difficult than people.

“omg! Is it easier to chop people up?”

“Who said he toppled? That’s what it says.”

A heavy sigh escaped Lee Woo-seok’s mouth as he listened to the conversation between the two.

It seems that my nephew has lived a long life as a ronin.

‘Don’t think about fighting, I’ll pay off some of your debts. Night escape is the best….’

From the village chief’s wedding ceremony to Yu Hwa’s ceremonies, it feels like you’re gradually sinking into a quagmire.

Gold’s Branch.

meeting room.

Two middle-aged men in uniforms sat across from each other.

They were Dong Yoo-soo, a warrior from Gae-bong, and Jiil-gang, a warrior from Namgyeong.

The two knew each other because they had worked in the same branch during the time of the guns (commanding small flags).

Even so, the atmosphere in the conference room was stiff.

“Is it true that the Justice League’s Extermination and Cheonchudae suffered near-destruction damage?”

At Jiilgang’s question, Dongyusoo nodded.

“There are only five survivors in the Myolsadae, but if you exclude the wounded, there are only thirty-five left. The sum of the two is eighty-seven. Five hundred and forty-five if all four units are gathered. They will not be able to compete with the famous religion.”

“Huh! how come this happened The commander told me to leak the information on the Justice League so that the famous church would not be defeated. I never thought the power of the Justice League would be so weak.”

“I was also surprised that the power of the famous religion was stronger than expected. From the beginning, the Justice League was not an opponent of famous religions. Who knew that the power of the famous cult would be so strong.”

“I was worried that it would be a one-sided fight, so I leaked information on the Justice League side, but it ended up giving the tiger wings. I don’t know if the Justice League has any strength left to strike back. How does the same person see it?”

Dong Yoo-soo shook his head.

“Looks impossible. The Justice League is unable to stop even the twelve horsemen of the famous religion. Even though it was raided, it wasn’t that the number of famous schools was much higher. In a battle with almost equal numbers, the Justice League suffered damage close to annihilation. Not to mention being outnumbered.”

“You mean we have to just watch as the Justice League collapses and Murim falls into the hands of the famous religion? If that happens, our southward march will end up in the same situation as our northward march.”

Jiilgang looked at Dongyusoo with a puzzled face.

It is the commander who made the decision, but the responsibility for the failure is originally the people under him.

With this incident – the failed assassination of the famous religious leader – the Northward movement could have regained its strength.

In fact, I heard that they were going to find the commander in the north.

“I think if Sapa sides with the Justice League, their powers will be equal again…”

Dong Yoo-soo trailed off.

“By the way, are there any problems?”

“Because Pacheon Demon-kun, who can be said to be the head of Sapa, is just ignoring this incident.”

When the name of Pacheon Demon Army came out, Jiilgang shut his mouth.

Pacheonmagun was famous for treating government officials like a dog.

Even Madura of Green Forest tried to maintain a proper relationship with the government department, but he was different.

“Huh! It’s hard to meet him, but even if you meet him face to face, it’s said that it’s impossible to appease him. It seems that Namjin’s luck has run out.”

Then Dong Yoo-soo said a word with a strange face.

“According to the information I heard recently, it is said that Pacheon Demon-kun entrusted the ‘Green Forest Sword’ to a certain person.”

“Huh! Really? Who is that person?”

“Greenery total patrol enemy.”
