“I want to help Princess Yuya. If there is a way, could you let me know?”

In fact, Jang’s request was ridiculous. There are degrees of vagueness, but what can you do with just motivation?

People rejected Jang-i, treating him like a crazy person, but there were some who stayed by his side.

Like Jang, they were people who could not bear to take a step because of their heavy hearts.

They realized something when they saw Jang Yi.

The way to get rid of the worries in your heart is not to sigh and worry, but to act.

Soon dozens of people gathered together and they put their heads together and began to find a way.

“The biggest problem currently facing Princess Yuya is dethronement. Since you have seriously violated the royal family’s laws, it would not be surprising if you were stripped of your royal qualifications.”

Among them, in addition to those who came to Luoyang like Jang Yi, there were people from famous families, there were scholars who had learned ink and black, and there were also Luoyang natives who were born and raised in Luoyang.

“Then what is the means to prevent Princess Yuya’s dethronement? Please voice your opinion without any hesitation.”

“How about going to high-ranking people and asking for a favor?”

“There will be people who will take Princess Yuya’s side. But I’m not sure if anyone will change their mind just because we make a request.”

“What is raising an appeal?”

“Appeals tend to be pushed back when major national issues occur. It probably won’t reach the court until Princess Yuya’s treatment is decided to some extent.”

Many opinions were expressed, but in the end there was only one method they could choose.

“I guess the only way is to offer the real product.”

A gift is offered in the name of Princess Yuya. They make their intentions known to the imperial family by offering genuine products.

Even though the conclusion was reached, people’s faces were dark.

It was the only way for those who were not officials or members of a prestigious family to convey their intentions to the imperial family, but at the same time, it was not effective with only the people gathered here.

It was clearly an excessive expectation that the imperial family would change its mind after only a dozen people expressed their opinions.

So the participation of more people was needed.

In the end, it was necessary to persuade others to offer the true product, which was by no means an easy task.

This is right after it is revealed that Geum Myeong-wol is Princess Yuya and Hyuk Kirin. There will be many people who will be shocked or feel betrayed upon hearing that fact, but would they offer a true gift to Princess Yuya?

“Let’s all do our best.”

Jang opened his mouth to lighten the mood.

“Whoa, honestly, I’m at a loss. Even if people with ties to Luoyang can persuade people they are close friends with, what should an outsider like me do?”

“That’s right. What is this? I wonder if I should stop and beg someone on the street.”

“Currently, Luoyang is full of people from all over. Grab these people who seem to be from the east and encourage them to show their local spirit while so-and-so from Gwangju is stepping forward.”

Jang spoke emphatically in response to the outpouring of complaints.

“A writer named Jang from Gwangju is offering a gift to Princess Yuya. Even if I were the only one offering the real prize, I would do it.”

It was truly a statement of deep determination, so even those who were complaining gathered their minds and nodded.

“…Good! Let’s give it a try!”

Those with ties to Luoyang dispersed individually, and those who came from the provinces dispersed in groups of three or three. Jang, who was watching them disperse, muttered without realizing it.

“It should go well…”

Jang, who expressed his concern out loud, immediately burst into laughter. Who cares about whom? In fact, Jang, like those who had just broken up, was in a situation where he had to face the situation without any solution.

So from now on, it was time for Jang to put aside other people’s worries and focus only on his own work. Jang looked at the person who would move with him.

He was a strange man who covered his face with bamboo lips, but his appearance was somehow very natural.

“Let us move now.”

“Of course.”

The place where Jang could open his mouth most confidently was the inn, so the two people headed to the nearest inn.

The guest house was already buzzing with the news about Princess Yuya that had happened today. Jang-i, who was wondering where to start the story, stopped at one place. These people are constantly listening to the noise around them. They appeared to be merchants traveling between Luoyang and the countryside.

Since they are the ones who can benefit from fresh information, they seem to be thirsty for it.

“You seem to be interested in what happened today. How about buying me a drink? It’s about hearing the story directly from my gunboat.”

The merchant nodded quickly.

“I was already frustrated because the rumors were so confusing. I’ll give you plenty of alcohol, so feel free to unpack your bundle.”

The revealed life of Princess Yuya was too long to be condensed into a few words, and at the same time, there were many twists and turns. In general, rumors tend to leave only the core and provocative elements, but Princess Yuya’s speech that continued today was all about the long content, so it was difficult to understand the context because the words were just picked up on the side.

“I am a person who came from the countryside today to hear the explanation of Geum Myeong-wol Daehyup. However, when I went to the gun post today, I realized that it was not the Jinmyeongwol Grand Hyeop, but some royal family member coming up with Duke Xu.”

Jang began to unravel the events of today with all his might.

Even if the story is the same, the level of immersion varies depending on the person telling it.

In that sense, Jang was a very good joker.

First of all, because I had a high level of understanding of the person named Geum Myeong-wol and the rumors derived from him, I was able to tell the story clearly and without hesitation, and the eloquence I honed while telling various rumors to guests at the guesthouse also helped others who were in a hurry to convey the news they heard today. It was noticeably different from

At first, Jang was just talking to a few merchants, but soon quite a few people in the guesthouse started listening to Jang.

“This is what happened today.”

“Huh! This is how it ended up!”

As soon as Jang Yi’s story ended, someone raised a question.

“Then what happens to Geum Myeongwol, or rather, the princess?”

This was exactly the question Jang wanted.

“My experience is short, so I don’t know much about the royal family’s laws, but I heard that you probably won’t be able to avoid severe punishment.”

“Huh.”

“Isn’t this truly unfortunate? The reason he left the imperial family was for the sake of the imperial family, and he must have done many blessed things in martial arts even after leaving the imperial family.”

The guests in the guest room nodded in agreement with Jang Yi’s lament.

“That’s true.”

“It didn’t happen.”

After seeing the friendly response, Jang quickly released his plan.

“Maybe that’s why there were people gathered at the gun stand who wanted to take action for Princess Yuya. They say that if you express your support for Princess Yuya by offering a gift to the imperial family, it will give her strength.”

“Huh, I see.”

However, the reaction of those in the guest room was sour. There was a reaction that all the weirdos were there, but they were all excited to discuss today’s events that Jang Yi had just mentioned, and no one showed any interest in helping Princess Yuya or the real prize.

Jang bit his lip at that reaction and asked, holding on to those who had just expressed regret over the treatment of Princess Yuya.

“Do you ever want to help Princess Yuya?”

“…You mean the real product?”

Those who were pointed out by Jang responded with shocked expressions.

“Isn’t this something that the higher-ups can take care of?”

“Things are unfortunate, but it’s still a little too much to go to the imperial family to offer a gift…”

“What will change then?”

Answers that seem to show no intention of moving at all. Jang opened his mouth to persuade once again, but soon turned his head when a hand was placed on his shoulder.

It was a man wearing a hat who decided to act with him.

“Brother Jang, we got some drinks, so let’s go back now.”

Jang noticed the hostile atmosphere in the guest house as the hat man slightly shook his head.

Offering a true product is ultimately a story about wealth. Jang-i’s obsession with real products was similar to that of con artists trying to steal money, so the guests at the inn began to be wary of Jang-i.

In the end, Jang, who was half driven out by the customers’ gazes, sighed. It seems that the atmosphere itself was formed, but was it because we pushed people too hastily that we messed things up?

“Let’s go to the next guest room.”

Jang reflected on his mistake and headed to another guest room. This time, the news was dark, and I caught up with someone who seemed to have quite deep pockets to tell the story. Perhaps because of the accumulated experience, Jang was able to control the atmosphere of the guest house more easily and naturally developed anticipation.

This time, we will definitely be able to get a positive response from the guests.

However, Zhang Yi’s expectations soon turned into disappointment.

Remembering the mistake from earlier, he subtly expressed his intention to help Princess Yuya and discussed the real prize, but no one showed interest in what Jang Yi said.

It just disappeared without a trace, swept away by the noisy sentiments that poured in after Jang Yi’s story.

After experiencing failure for the second time, Jang gritted his teeth.

In the third guest room, Jang started talking similarly to the two guests, and as soon as he finished talking, he jumped up and shouted.

“I can’t leave Princess Yuya alone like this! How can you just watch Princess Yuya’s embarrassment! Let’s express our wishes by offering a gift to the imperial family!”

The atmosphere in the guesthouse suddenly became cold due to Jang-i’s sudden departure, and the Jeomsoyi rushed in and dragged Jang-i out of the guesthouse and beat her up.

Jang thought as he stretched out on the street.

What on earth can we do to save Geummyeongwol and Princess Yuya?

Since I couldn’t see the numbers at all, the only thing that came out was a sigh.

“Are you okay?”

As I was sighing and looking at the sky, a bamboo shoot suddenly appeared in my field of vision. After confirming that it belonged to the person who had accompanied him just a moment ago, Jang simply nodded his head in silence.

As I was just watching and looking at the behavior of the man in the hat, who was fine, I felt a little resentment compared to my own situation when he was dragged by the hands of the Jeomsoy and beaten to the floor, but I quickly ended up laughing.

Even if the Juklip man had stopped him, what would have changed? The failure would have been the same, and the Juklip man would have ended up rolling on the floor along with Jang-i.

While Jang-i was comforting herself, the hat man held out his hand to Jang-i and said,

“You are truly enthusiastic. Have you received any favor from Geummyeongwol Daehyeop?”

Jang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Whew, I hope so. Then it would have been easier to persuade people.”

“Then, Brother Jang, you are acting like this solely out of admiration for Geummyeongwol Daehyup?”

“If I were to be honest, I guess not.”

“Kya, I can see that you are a deep fan. You have to be at this level to be president.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing. Please get up sooner than that. The floor is full.”

Jang stood up, holding the hand of the Juklip man who was shaking his head as if somehow satisfied. The man in the hat, who seemed to really like Jang-i’s answer and actively moved his body to shake off the dust from Jang-i’s clothes, opened his mouth.

“Things are really not easy. Since there were so many people at the time of the announcement, I thought the rumor would have spread throughout Luoyang, but somehow, not many people even knew about the news.”

“…Ah.”

It was only after listening to the hat man’s words that Jang realized why he had not made any profit until now.

The actions of Jang Yi, who wanted to help Geum Myeongwol, and the comrades who sympathized with Jang Yi, were the result of breathing and empathizing with the long story revealed by Princess Yuya.

So what about the guests who did not hear the story of Princess Yuya directly, but only heard the abbreviated news from Jang Yi’s mouth? It was too much to expect that the guests who had just heard the news about Princess Yuya would immediately come to a conclusion and agree.

After getting the clue, Jang Yi’s head quickly turned.

So what should we do to gather comrades who will offer gifts together? Should we actively spread the word about what happened at the gunboat so that the rumor can spread more quickly and accurately?

Soon, the scene of the guesthouse appeared in Jang Yi’s mind. There was no one to talk to, so there were only one or two people who were working hard to spread the word. Even at this very moment, tens of thousands of voices in Luoyang are spreading the word about what happened today, so what does it mean if one more mouth is added?

Jang-i, whose flow of thoughts was blocked, heard the hat man’s complaints in his ears.

“Won, where did all the crowds from all over the country go…”

“…This is it.”

“Yes?”

“That’s it!”

Jang clenched his fists. Why have I missed this simple fact until now?

Jang Yi gathered many comrades just by catching those who were scattering from the gun stand and talking to them. Considering that I could not gather a single comrade during the three talks in three different rooms, it was as if the answer had already been given.

It would be much more efficient to persuade those who were clearly interested in Geum Myeong-wol than to persuade an unspecified number of people who cannot know how much interest they have in Geum Myeong-wol.

“These people came all the way to Luoyang to hear a word from Geummyeongwol Daehyup! I have to find them!”

The Juklip man hesitated for a moment, perhaps surprised by Jang’s sudden enthusiasm, and then opened his mouth.

“But where do you find them? Among the guesthouses I have visited so far, there are not many people who have been to the gun stand in person.”

“You can find it.”

The rat’s ways are well known to the rat. From the perspective of the guests, it seems that the guest cups do not discriminate among guests, and both the cups and the cups may look the same, but Jang Yi, who has worked in the guesthouse business all his life, pictured the situation of the guest cups in Luoyang.

The guesthouses they had just visited were very close to the gun stand. It was probably anticipated that the lodging problem would arise from the time the rumor spread that Geum Myeong-wol was clarifying the suspicions of Gamchal-eosa at the Pogodae, so those who usually came and went to Luoyang and used nearby guesthouses secured their own rooms in advance. It will be

In such a situation, it was nearly impossible for those who came to Luoyang to hear Geum Myeong-wol’s explanation to find a guest room near the gun stand.

So where have they all gone?

Luoyang was large and had many guests, but Jang knew the answer.

“Let’s go to Chilbong Gaekjan.”

The hat man and Jang Yi headed to the largest guesthouse in Luoyang, or rather, the largest in the central region.
