“Brother! Are you here?”

Jump up!

Suddenly, the door opened and the person who came in was Beon-Kwae, a brown-skinned woman full of wild beauty.

“Aaaah!”

Zhang Liang was shocked and lowered the dress he had lifted.

“…”

Beongwae rolled his eyes for a moment as if he didn’t understand the situation, but then frowned.

“Hey, what are you doing…!”

When Beongwae frowned and screamed, I waved my hand.

“No, it’s nice.”

“…No?”

“Yes, it’s a misunderstanding.”

“What kind of misunderstanding…”

Beongwae thought for a while, then groaned and closed his mouth.

“Okay, now is not the time to be like this!”

Beongwae shouted as if that wasn’t the most important thing right now.

“Paehyeon is in chaos right now!”

“Huh? In Paehyeon?”

When I asked, Beongwae nodded and continued talking.

“…”

Xiaoha killed the county governor and rebelled.

Soha nominally made Yugye the head of Paehyeon.

It was ordered by prefectural decree.

“…What?”

I couldn’t help but frown in embarrassment.

No, if you go from a suit to a prefecture level, you should be promoted very quickly…

So suddenly?

“They say there are two reasons. First, to prevent the female worker from marrying his wife, as my brother wanted. Secondly, because Hyungnim is better than Sohana Jocham when it comes to gathering people.”

It would not be of much help to have Jin officials Sohana and Jocham above the people who were angry and rebelled against the Jin Dynasty.

Beonghwae added that.

“…grunt!”

I groaned and continued to listen to Beongwae’s explanation.

Soha, Jo Cham, Joo Bal, Noh Gwan, and Ha Hoo-young took control of Paehyeon. Afterwards, they gathered the gangsters who had followed me and sent them under the command of Beongwae.

It was an arrangement to come to me.

But here a problem occurred.

The gangsters who follow me have left, and Beon-Kwae, who uses his fists, has gone out, so So-ha and Jo-cham are running out of hands and feet to use.

A vacuum of force soon leads to deterioration of public order.

But doesn’t that mean he can’t reach out to a female worker?

If his influence grows, the plan to prevent the marriage from taking place will go awry.

Meanwhile, Ongchi volunteered.

She was famous for her dislike of the religious world, and as the daughter of a wealthy family, she was still a well-known figure in Paehyeon.

Ongchi reassured me by sending his favorite subordinate along to Beongwae, and humbled himself by pledging loyalty to me.

Soha and Jo Cham, who had no reason to refuse when the daughter of an influential family member came forward, eventually accepted Ong Chi’s offer.

But here a problem occurred.

As Beongwae left with his soldiers in search of me, Jin’s army soon arrived at Paehyeon.

Soha and Jo Cham ordered to prepare for defensive posture.

It is said that Ongchi smiled brightly and pointed his sword at the two.

-Catch these bastards and throw them in right now!

Ongchi’s men immediately captured those who followed Yugye and took control of Paehyeon.

Then he quickly ran and surrendered to the Jin army.

“…shit.”

I couldn’t help but swear.

“So what happened after that?”

I asked, feeling nervous.

“That is…”

Beongwae hesitated for a moment about whether he should return to Paehyeon, but soon changed his mind. I guess he thought finding me came first.

The soldier that Ongchi gave as a hostage had already run away, so there was no way to deal with Ongchi.

“…Damn.”

I ground my teeth.

“What should I do with this…”

There were younger brothers who followed me in Paehyeon.

There is also my family.

No matter how bad I am, I can’t abandon them and run away.

“…Hmm.”

I thought for a moment and said.

“What kind of measures are needed…”

“…There is, brother.”

Beonghwae opened his mouth.

“Really? What is that?”

When I asked, Beongwae immediately opened his mouth.

“You just have to surrender.”

“What?”

“If you surrender and go under Ongchi, everything will be resolved. First, lower your posture and look for the next opportunity.”

“…”

“You must know how to bow down for a moment for the greater good.”

hmm.

“Who are you?”

“…Yes?”

“The Beon-Kwae I know is not a great person who would say things like that. Who the hell are you?”

“…Hmm.”

Beonhwae scratched his chin.

“It’s a shame. If you just shut up and follow my words, things will go well.”

Beon-Kwae, or rather, someone who looked like Beon-Kwae, grinned.

“I’ll say hello to you, even if it’s late. I am Ongchi’s right hand man.”

The face of the guy with the appearance of Bunggwae twitched and changed shape.

The face that changed along with the crunching sound was that of a man I had never seen before.

“You have two options. It would be better not to put up any futile resistance. Even so, I am confident in my skills. It’s not as good as Beungwae, but I still know how to use a knife.”

The guy smiled and continued talking.

“Surrender or die on the spot. It’s an either/or choice. Why don’t you try it with the crazy bitch behind you?”

The guy chuckled and said.

Anger appeared on Zhang Liang’s face, but he was patient because he thought it was not his place to intervene.

Could it be that even Taoist arts can’t be used when the situation progresses so suddenly?

“Now then, what choice will you make, Chief Yoo? Or should I call you Hyeonryeong Yoo?”

The guy said in a sarcastic tone.

“Hmm.”

Yes, survival comes first.

Have I told you so many times? I have no intention of becoming an emperor, and I have no intention of becoming a hero.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to lower your status a bit and spend the rest of your life as a subordinate under Ongchi.

With that thought in mind, I opened my mouth.

“Fuck you.”

“…I’m disappointed.”

“Ah, yes. Now I know what your mother felt when she gave birth to you. Tell Ongchi. Even if I die, I will never go under that bitch.”

“Yes, whatever. Let me tell you.”

The guy shrugged his shoulders and said.

“With your neck.”

Ongchi’s subordinate’s daggers flashed.

Oh, fuck.

You’re dying.

Should I not have acted rudely?

Hehehe, whatever.

It’s better than being under a bitch who will mess with my brothers and harm my family.

Zhang Liang ran screaming, but it was too late.

She won’t be able to save me.

For a brief moment, I closed my eyes, thinking about all these arrogant thoughts.

*****

“Oh my gosh-”

There was a group carrying a large coffin.

The number is probably a few dozen at most.

Among those who ran away with Yu-gye, they were those who agreed to go under Ong-chi.

They were coming weeping for the dead Yugye.

And in front of him is Ongchi’s right arm.

Ongchi realized that things had unfolded just as he had expected.

“Are you here!”

Ongchi shouted from the walls of Paehyeon.

“Yes, I’m here, lady!”

“What’s in that coffin?”

“You are the lady’s enemy!”

Ongchi laughed out loud.

dead!

The crazy guy who insulted me is finally dead!

“Open the gate!”

At Ongchi’s command, the gates of Paehyeon were opened.

Yugye’s coffin was brought into Paehyeon.

“Ugh!”

Ongchi let out a bitter laugh as he looked at the coffin with nails stuck in it.

“I won! You bastard! I won!”

Ongchi jumped up and down and shouted.

Yugye’s subordinate. Jo Cham, So Ha, Ha Hoo Young, Noh Gwan, Joo Bal, and Beon Gwae are all in prison.

And Paehyeon has already been taken over by her family.

Now Ongchi has become the leader of Paehyeon.

The only remaining element of anxiety, Yoo-gye, is dead and being carried away!

“Hold a banquet! Have a big banquet!”

At Ong-chi’s shout, her subordinates let out cheers.

Today was a happy day for Ongchi.

It was such a happy day that I wondered if I could even be this happy.

Ongchi happily drank alcohol and enjoyed the banquet.

*****

Late at night.

The governor’s office.

Ongchi was sipping his drink and enjoying the afterglow of the banquet.

“Huh.”

Ongchi giggled.

“I finally killed Yugye. I killed my enemy!”

Ongchi said that and laughed.

She laughed, shaking her shoulders.

But it was a strange thing.

Her laughter faded little by little and soon turned into crying.

“Yugye, you bastard…”

Ongchi was sobbing and talking to himself.

“Why did you die so easily… Why did you do that…”

Ongchi said with tears streaming down his face.

Bounded. Ongchi’s enemy.

A nemesis that must be killed someday.

However, Ongchi’s feelings toward Yugye were more complex.

After being humiliated, she dreamed of revenge and gained strength.

Yoo-gye is the reason why she, who lived a dissolute life relying only on her family’s wealth, awakened and became a powerful person.

Yugye was her enemy, but paradoxically, he was also the person who awakened her.

That’s why Ongchi hated Yugye but also liked him.

Even though I wanted to kill him, I also wanted to be with him.

Ongchi groaned at these confused emotions and shed tears.

“Come back… Yoo-gye… Please come back…”

Ongchi groaned and muttered like that.

The night deepened.

Her sadness also deepened.

She mourned alone in a lonely office where no one came.

…It was a sadness that didn’t last that long.

“Oh, really? Do you miss Yugye?”

“Yes… I miss you… I miss you…”

Ongchi was startled and raised his head.

She grabbed the knife.

Because I heard a voice that shouldn’t have been heard.

“Oppa is here.”

Yugye said.

“And sleep well!”

Pow!

Yugye’s fist exploded into Ongchi’s face.

When she tried to draw her sword, she lost the sheath and fell down.

“Stop it! Well, you did it wrong! I was wrong!”

Ongchi had not yet finished understanding the situation, but he prayed first.

I didn’t want to die.

At least I didn’t want to die at the hands of that bastard.

“If everything is resolved by claiming that you did something wrong, why do we have government offices and why do we have laws? If you did something wrong, you should face the law.”

Yugye said with a wry smile.

“Ass vs. double bitch.”

Yugye said that and unfastened his belt.
