*** ***

Ha Seon-su was dragged by the messengers and thrown into the carriage. Looking at my condition, I think I’ll come to my senses by noon, even if I can’t.

Isn’t this bad? They always eat a big dinner and drink alcohol so that they can’t come to their senses during the day. No matter how luxurious a carriage is, it cannot provide as much comfort as resting at a hotel, so it will take a long time to sober up.

The important thing was not who got off.

The black cat became strange.

Normally, when he was bored, he would sneak up to me and play around with me, but this morning he suddenly started acting awkward and even when I started moving, he sat as far away from me as possible and was just looking at the floor.

I can’t be sure because he’s wearing a hat, but it seems like he’s glancing at me sometimes.

“Hmph!”

Unable to bear this awkward atmosphere, he tried to clear his throat, but the black cat suddenly flinched, making the atmosphere even more awkward. After shaking my hands in embarrassment, I opened a new martial arts magazine, [Musin Ganglim-1], at Botjim.

Before leaving, I stopped by a bookstore and, thanks to the colorful cover reminiscent of stained glass, I ended up buying all the books without realizing it. I always wanted a martial arts magazine with a well-decorated cover or illustrations, so I bought it as if I was possessed.

You have to read the content to find out.

A wagon is not a suitable environment for reading books, even with empty words. Even if you read something in a car driving on the highway, you will likely suffer from motion sickness. When you ride a carriage, your upper body is bound to shake.

If you feel motion sick after reading for a bit, look around and focus on martial arts for a while.

“Break time!”

In general, these peddlers usually take a break for about half an hour to an hour at noon. People who walk all day need to rest and replenish nutrients.

For passengers like us, it is also a time to move our bodies. Just sitting in a carriage all day is hard work.

I also got off the wagon and stretched.

“Seoul, how about getting some fresh air outside?”

The black cat stared at me for a moment, then seemed to think something and got out of the carriage and disappeared somewhere.

Was I in a hurry to go to the bathroom?

Although I was worried because the situation looked strange earlier, the fact that the black cat went into the forest alone was not something to worry about. Since he has stronger martial arts skills than the big head, in fact, in terms of danger, I became more dangerous after breaking up with the black cat.

“Are you experiencing any inconvenience during your trip?”

“Wow, the total votes are from Daehyup.”

Ga Gil-yeom’s lips twitched. To put it simply, Chongpyodu is the person in charge of political action. And the representative head is the next location. Well, it’s a simple social skill. Isn’t it part of social life to call the chief manager “assistant manager” and the assistant manager “manager”?

“Hmm. greatness. It’s the CEO.”

Okay, it’s okay to pretend to be solemn while dying.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Thanks to Daehyup, it has become a very comfortable road.”

“Hehe, I did something…”

“Isn’t it possible to move around so smoothly thanks to the leadership of the leader?”

I thought he was a man who loved flattery, as he kept clearing his throat when I complimented him, but he only said something else. If Yoo Yu-yeon has put any money into this Namhaengpyoguk, I should tell her to take it out. A very catchy song.

“Anyway, I came because I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Do you mean a favor?”

“Our Three Dukes are very talented, but compared to the level of martial arts, they were born with a weak constitution.”

A tear-jerking package for a disembarker who barely looks like he can do second-rate pull-ups. Now that I think about it, is Ha-seon still a piece of cake? If he had woken up, he would have tried to get up and stamp his eyes on the black cat, so it looks like he is still unconscious.

“That’s why I don’t want a situation like yesterday to happen.”

“Ah~ I see.”

If I get motion sick while watching martial arts, I look outside. What are you thinking when you look outside? Ha Seon-su was trying to enrich Daehyeop’s pockets.

In order to rob Ha-sun, he had to first get rid of Nam Haeng-pyo-guk’s guardian. This person. The CEO is going to go.

Ga Gil-yeom is like the person in charge of managing this behavior. First of all, Ha Seon-seon, who is a direct descendant of Pyo Guk-ju, is the general manager, and it appears that Ga Gil-yeom is under him, but in reality, anyone can see that Ga Gil-yeom is the general manager.

Therefore, it is impossible to disembark without this person’s connivance or active cooperation.

And, aside from his personal feelings, Ga Gil-yeom cannot look upon Ha-sun in a kind light.

Let’s think about it from the voters’ perspective.

After a hard day, when I wanted to drink a bowl of takju and fall asleep, Ha-sun, who had been comfortably riding in a luxurious carriage all day, sat down with a beautiful (presumed) passenger, excitedly poured alcohol into his stomach, collapsed, and the situation continues to this day. .

Of course, it is inevitable that he will receive heat and complaints will build up, so Ga Gil-yeom, who has to manage such ambassadors, also has no choice but to look at Ha Seon-seon with a negative eye.

However, Ga Gil-yeom is in a position where he cannot say anything to Ha.

This could be inferred from the behavior of Ga Gil-yeom, who watched Ha Seon-su in the guesthouse yesterday until he got drunk. I don’t know anything about the power structure within the Namhaengpyo Bureau, Ha Seon-seon’s position, or Ga Gil-yeom’s power, but in the end, the results of such a structure come out through actions.

Since Ga Gil-Yeom is not in a position to directly stop Ha-Seon’s actions, the inevitable conclusion is that in order to control Ha-Seon, he must control the actions of me or Black Cat.

If you want to control Ha Seon-su, you have to go to him and grab him by the collar or beg him. Why do you come to me, who is so strict, and put pressure on you?

If you’re going to say things like this, don’t flatter me. After chewing, tearing, enjoying, and tasting everything, I experienced the determination to say what I had to say, and what little remorse I had disappeared.

In fact, if a bastard named Ha-seon gets into an accident, there is a high probability that Ga Gil-yeom, who is the guardian, will also be in trouble. ‘Jan, you’re a total idiot, so what on earth did you do?’ Wouldn’t they be tempted to use logic like this?

So I was thinking about how to gently persuade him, but my thoughts changed.

“A~ CEO. Even if I’m a country idiot, I know everything!”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Ga Gil-yeom’s face.

“I know at least that the three great Confucius arranged everything! I have that much sense.”

“What…?”

I put saliva on my lips and started the car.

“Hongja…what is that? It’s not something like private temple activities.”

Ga Gil-yeom looked at me as if I was wondering what this guy was talking about. Looking at my whole body up and down was a gesture that made me think, ‘Has this guy turned?’

“As a foreigner, I can only guess what exactly they do. Nowadays, who would think of Prince Xia as a Confucius of the country? You might just think of him as a high-ranking person escorted by Pyoguk.”

Ga Gil-yeom’s eyes wavered. From Ga Gil-Yeom’s point of view, this may have been a remark that he had not even thought about. From Nana’s point of view, I knew that Ha Seon-seon was the Confucius of the Namhaengpyo Country, but from the perspective of an outsider, this was another problem.

A luxurious carriage accompanying the journey. And Confucius, dressed in silk, getting off a luxurious carriage.

Who would think that this is the foolish behavior of the three sons of Namhaengpyoguk? Normally, it is normal to think that a person of noble rank is being escorted by a nobleman.

People judge situations based on their common sense.

“There are things I have seen and heard in my life. Where does the direct lineage of a nobleman go on a journey in a luxurious carriage and wearing silk clothes? Ha ha ha ha ha! If there was a Confucius like that, he would either be truly crazy or an unthinkable mess!”

Ga Gil-yeom flinched. You must be embarrassed because you were distracted by my nonsense and suddenly you were attacked with facts.

“Huh, wow..!”

“Ah! Now you know! Is this a strategy to raise the status of the Namhaengpyoguo by making it look like they are escorting a nobleman dressed in silk clothes in such a fancy carriage? Kiya, this is an ingenious move. It’s a role that’s perfect for the dedicated Confucius! Isn’t that right?”

“No, that is..”

“, as expected, it is a famous southern travel country in Sacheon! Of course, to achieve this level of prestige in Sacheon, you have to do something like this! The head leaders with strong martial arts skills and the leaders with strict discipline, and even such a novel promotional strategy!”

I looked at Ga Gil-yeom with an expression of regret.

“Huh. I’m sorry about this. I was so excited that I just started talking about it. Perhaps…I may have gone too far.”

“That is…”

Ga Gil-yeom trailed off and closed his eyes tightly. I waited for Ga Gil-yeom’s answer with excited eyes. Wow, it’s a shame there’s no black cat. You really should have seen my face right now.

truth or lie. Your choice?

“You are right..!”

Yes, I’ve sugar-coated it like this, but how can you say, ‘Actually, I don’t have that kind of strategy, I’m not heading south, that bastard, Ha-sun, is a bastard beyond your imagination, and I don’t like you playing around with such a bastard, so I came here to criticize you.’ .

“Haha, as expected! Somehow I was a little worried yesterday because I thought Confucius Ha Seon-su was spending too much money, but I don’t have to worry anymore!”

Ga Gil-yeom made an angry expression, but my mouth, which had already started, did not stop.

“Of course, if you show yourself spending a lot of money in a guesthouse or other places exposed to the outside world, people’s attention will be drawn and it will be remembered that Namhaengpyoguk is escorting a wealthy Confucius! Since you are in a position to eat expensive food, I will try to control your drinking, so don’t worry! Hahahahaha!”

I burst out laughing while looking at Ga Gil-Yeom, whose pupils had an earthquake.

Ha, you are dead now.
