    Pyoguk (鏢局)!

    In general, it is easy to think of Pyoguk as a delivery business that simply transports logistics, but in reality, Pyoguk is a business with three inclinations: transportation, insurance, and security.

    What do people believe in when they entrust the delivery of goods?

    This is because the company can be held responsible for accidents such as damage or theft while transporting goods.

    There are many countries that provide insurance benefits beyond simple compensation.

    So, if you lose the item, fail to make the ticket, or do not complete the ticket within the due date, you will be returned more than the price of the item.

    In the case of a merchant, if he or she fails to send the product or does not receive the product, can simply compensating for the cost of the product be real compensation?

    Also, as in the case where I applied, they take responsibility for people’s safe travels in exchange for money.

    Therefore, just by operating a country, it is said that it has a power that most small and medium-sized literary groups cannot even show their business cards.

    First of all, in order to open a business, you must have a minimum reputation, and in addition to that reputation, you must have collateral to receive the goods. Is it just that? Since there must be manpower and equipment to transport the goods, it is not easy to even have the minimum elements to put up a sign saying [Pyoguk].

    So, it could be said that being the son of a successful Pyoguk called Yunnan Pyoguk had a golden spoon in his mouth.

    At first glance, Ha-seon appears to be wearing expensive-looking silk clothes. He might shine at some high-class event or at an invitational event, but as he set off on his way to Yunnan, he looked like he was showing off a lot of style, and just by looking at him, he was like, ‘What a mess I am.’

    The black cat nodded its head in silence.

    It was a clear refusal, but the guy didn’t care and continued talking.

    “It makes Ha Mo feel uncomfortable to hear that Sojeo, who is so weak, is riding such a rough wagon. How about moving to the carriage I’m riding in?”

    “Haha, I’m sorry, but Daehyeop, your younger brother is quite a dark person, so I think it will be difficult.”

    Right now, Black Cat and I are disguising our identities. The two of us are just tourists.

    The easiest relationship setting was that of biological siblings. Just saying we’re companions is too weak a relationship, and I think saying we’re lovers is too risky for me.

    “Oh, I see…what is your name?”

    “This introduction is late. It is called Geumbusan Mountain.”

    When choosing a pseudonym, I use the name of the poem. So, I am Geumbusan, which is Kim + Busan, and Black Cat’s current pseudonym is Geumseoul.

    There is no special reason, but in life, there will be times when you need to hide your name. What if you think of an alias on the spot? I have to give a pseudonym without the other person knowing, but what will the other person think if I keep unnaturally silent and then say, “I’m so-and-so Kim?”

    Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan. How nice it is to see aliases appearing one after another.

    “Hahaha. I see. If you feel uncomfortable, we can accommodate you at any time, so just let us know.”

    “Ah, yes, thank you.”

    Ha Seon-su looked at the black cat obsessively, as if he wanted to hear the black cat’s voice, but the black cat responded in silence.

    Looking at Ha’s eyebrows twitching slightly, he looks a little uncomfortable.

    But soon he smiled and went back to the fancy carriage.

    “Hmm…”

    Things don’t look particularly good. Usually, travelers follow along on a ticket. So, of course, I thought there would be a lot of tourists following us, but it seems that there are only two of us.

    It would be helpful to have someone else’s point of view when I’m acting unreasonably like that guy named Ha-seon.

    “It’s annoying.”

    The black cat calmly opened its mouth.

    “Ha Seon-seon from Namhaengpyoguk is a famous madman in Sacheon. I don’t think I’ll give up easily.”

    “Hmm. Should I just leave?”

    “For now, let’s go as far as we can.”

    Since it is the black cat’s responsibility to endure discomfort, I decided to follow the black cat’s opinion.

    “If you can’t stand it, tell me right away.”

    “It’s okay. No matter where you go, guys like that tend to stick around.”

    “Um.”

    It seems that living as a beautiful woman is quite tiring.

    The black cat wore a hat with a brim instead of a black lip. The cotton thread of the Cheonnyeon Imugi that was usually worn around the face changed its shape and was attached to the end of the bamboo rib.

    It looks much more comfortable this way, so I asked him why he didn’t do it this way, and he said it was uncomfortable because he couldn’t see clearly.

    Since they can’t openly operate Black Spirit Qigong, they seem to have chosen the next best option.

    The black cat tapped my shoulder.

    “Brother Geum, please tell me a story that happened at the Tang family.”

    The black cat giggled and made a soft voice. I sensed that the intention was to revamp the atmosphere that had been disrupted by Ha Seon-seon, so I accepted it with a solemn expression.

    “Uh huh. Didn’t you say it was confidential?”

    “Is there a secret I can’t tell even to my younger brother? Instead of saying that, please tell me.”

    I chuckled. The younger brother’s acting is quite good.

    “Keuhum, do you promise to keep it a secret?”

    “Where else would you talk about things related to your flesh and blood? Let’s stop talking now~”

    It’s hard to talk about Tang family affairs, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to tell stories about Tang Liao, such as riding the raincoat.

    “Do you remember the carriage we rode in when we parted ways?”

    *** ***

    “Phew.”

    Yeo Il-ye sighed and ran down the mountain path. After reaching the peak, Yeo Il-ye’s body was pushed forward every time her feet touched the ground as she burned the vast amount of internal energy that had increased without hesitation.

    ‘I never thought it would take this long.’

    The trip to Yunnan was taking too long. The second problem was that he had to pay for the sword to his benefactor, and since he had been away from the shrine for so long, Jeomchang was starting to worry.

    ‘I never thought Dok-ui would visit Hyeong-gwi Mountain.’

    It was truly ironic.

    After reaching Mt. Hyeonggui, Yeo Il-ye immediately went up to inspect the mountain hut, but the door to the mountain hut was tightly closed and the bandits, uncharacteristic of bandits, were standing on tight guard.

    After observing from a distance for about a day, Yeo Il-ye was able to confirm that there was no coriander in the wild vegetables.

    Yeo Il-ye, who was traveling through Mt. Hyeong-gwi to figure out the cause, encountered the poison’s wife.

    And as soon as she faced Doki, Yeo Il-ye grasped the situation. As Dok-ui temporarily settled in Gaewang-chae’s territory, Mak Yeo-bu got scared and hid herself.

    Yeo Il-ye also had no way to do anything about his poison, so he had no choice but to retreat and wait. As a result of post-war discussions and discussions, it was decided to share roles. Yeo Il-ye decided to stay in the guesthouse closest to the mountain chae and observe the movements of the mountain chae, and Jeon Hudam left to check where Mak Yeobu was hiding.

    Even to get to the nearest inn to a mountain village, an average person would have to walk a full day to get there. Even Yeo Il-ye, who has a vast amount of internal strength, had to sweat and develop light skills for more than two trials.

    Yeo Il-ye reached the place where she always observes Gaewangchae and took a breath.

    ‘There is a change.’

    Yeo Il-ye, who had always been observing, confirmed that the number of people in Gaewangchae had decreased. There is clearly a shortage of personnel for it to be said that the vigilance has simply been reduced.

    ‘For a bandit, he endured a long time.’

    It has been over a week since I observed wild vegetables. Yeo Il-ye also couldn’t figure out when Dok-ui settled in Hyeong-gwi Mountain, so the bandits held their breath for at least a week.

    A change has finally occurred.

    “Whether or not.”

    When wild vegetables start to act, the vegetable stock must also maintain its position.

    Yeo Il-ye looked at Gaewangchae with the eyes of a fisherman waiting for the float to move.

    *** ***

    I’ve never heard of a black cat covering its face.

    However, there was no need to hear an explanation as to why the face was covered with a cotton thread and bangs. When you see the appearance of a black cat with your own eyes, you will inevitably think, ‘Ah, if it’s just that kind of atmosphere, it can’t have a pretty face.’

    When you think like that, it naturally leads to the thought, ‘Oh, she seems to have a beauty that would cause an uproar if she didn’t cover her face.’

    In fact, as a modern person, I have a very high tolerance for this part.

    A streamer that looks really pretty was actually the result of ridiculous retouching work.

    There is a photo going around of a beautiful woman before her makeup that makes people say “Wow”.

    The years of living as a modern person have been a series of disappointments due to uncertainties. I’ve learned so much about having expectations and then being disappointed that I no longer have any expectations.

    Of course, the reasons above are just the reasons why I can be calm even when I walk around with a black cat.

    The fact that the black cat hides its face is simply the black cat’s private life. I covered it up because I didn’t want to show it, but I guess it’s just something and I have to respect it.

    Black Cat said that wherever he goes, people like Ha Seon-su always stick around.

    That was literally what it said.

    The black cat swept the guest’s gaze.

    The warriors of the country were placed as if they were guarding us, so we ended up just receiving attention. It felt like if only the two of us had come in, a few of them would have talked to us.

    Actually, I was a bit dumbfounded.

    Is it normal to get this much attention even though you’re wearing plain clothes and wearing cotton yarn?

    You have to have the experience of hanging out with a pretty person in your past and present life to be able to judge whether this situation is normal or abnormal.

    When I felt awkward about the surrounding atmosphere, the black cat calmly picked up a dumpling and ate it and said,

    “I told you, right? It’s the same wherever you go. I still see it now.”

    When I turned to follow the black cat’s chin movements, the person with his face down on the table quickly got up. Come to think of it, Jeongsam and Yeo Jin-sang were also doing the same thing when the black cat first came.

    “I should have left and come here because I thought Ha would be bothersome, then those people would have approached me and become a bother.”

    “Um…”

    Looking at the black cat’s calmness, it seemed like this kind of attention was a daily occurrence for the black cat. It felt absurd to me, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t understand. When I first started working as a Sacheon Nang, I was very shocked mentally, but now I have reached a point where I feel comfortable with such hostile gaze.

    “Hahahaha! Are you resting comfortably?”

    Although the black cat’s words were realistic, it was as if there was a thorn stuck in his throat. As I was mulling over the words, a goby appeared.

    The two of them sit down at the table without consent.

    My nose was itchy because of the scent that hit me, as if I had just taken a bath with incense powder.

    “Hahaha! Is it really necessary to eat this poorly during an arduous journey? Jeomsoy! Here are the five most expensive dishes Suksu can cook!”

    “Yes! Confucius! I will supervise you right away!”

    Jeomsoy Burinake moved to perform the spell that made me believe my ears.

    Wow, not the five most delicious things in the world, but the five most expensive dishes. This is my first time ordering food like this in 8 years of my life.

    After listening to Ha Seon-seon’s spell for the king of kings with my own two ears, I began to see him as a golden character rather than a goby.

    this…

    Don’t hate it because you’re a fool, but if you peel it well, you might be able to eat well on the way to Yunnan.

    no. no.

    The black cat may be having a hard time, so what could I think! How uncomfortable would the black cat be if this Geumja, or rather the goby, giggled next to her?

    “I once saw Confucius Tang Dao-gyeong of the Tang family.”

    “Oh, oh oh. I guess so.”

    Ha-sun, who heard the black cat’s voice for the first time, responded with joy.

    “Confucius feels similar to Tang Dao-gyeong Confucius. Isn’t that right? Brother?”

    “Hehe, heh…yeah. Do you think so?”

    “Don’t you think so, too?”

    Is this really it…? I opened my mouth to confirm the black cat’s intention.

    “At that time, you felt the same as Confucius Tang Dao-gyeong in ‘that state’ that you saw on the street, right?”

    “Yes. Brother. Just then. That exciting look back then.”

    Heukmyo expressed Tang Dao-gyeong, who bet the Blood Jade Monument on the gambling table I made in front of Golden Street, as [Hogu]. I argued that it was not designed to catch a fortune, but that it was a legitimate gamble.

    “Haha.”

    This is it.

    “Actually, I felt the same way about Confucius Ha-sun from the first time I saw him.”

    It seemed like it could be a comfortable journey to Yunnan.

    Because it will be with the money of our nobleman, or rather, the rightful successor to the Great South Travel Bureau, Ha Seon-nim.

    Let’s try to show favor by stealing Ha’s underwear.

    The black cat quietly gave a thumbs up.

    Seeing that, I also gave a thumbs up.

    “Hahahaha! You two put too much gold on Ha-mo’s face!”

    I also burst out laughing as I looked at Ha, who was laughing excitedly with a face that was so happy that he didn’t know our speed.

    It was the beginning of a happy journey for all of us.
