Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 215. Farewell, My Friends. (5)

"Ple- Pwease spae me!" (The raw is "사, 사여 주입이오!")

"I'm behing you!" (The raw is "자모해쓰빈다!")

… . No. Not this!

A Taoist named Chung Myung, who sat in the driver's seat, hit the heads of the bandits with the scabbard he was holding.

"Are you kidding me? Your legs seem to lose strength?"

"No! It’s not!"

"You guys are lucky. I'm not the kind of person who keeps someone alive because they are a Magyo or a bandit. I saved you because you were useful, but you’re starting to get useless"

"No! Absolutely not!"

The wagons began to move at a faster pace. It is now the speed at which those who used to walk around the wagon must run.

The poor (?) bandits, not even thinking of resisting, tearfully pulled the wagon with all their might.

Gwak Haengsu opened his mouth at an absurd scene that he had never imagined before in his life. Then the escort crept up and said in a low voice.

"Haengsu-nim.”

"Yes, Captain."

"These people who are pulling that wagon now."

"Yes. Hahaha. It's ridiculous. I'm sorry, Captain. I know it's hard for you to understand, but those people over there...…."

"No, no. It's not like that."

"Huh?"

The captain of the escort said with a slightly pale face.

"They're stronger than I am."

"Yes?"

"They’re stronger than me."

"……Yes?"

Gwak Haengsu looked at the escort captain with a face that he didn't understand at all.

The name of this man, who is in charge of escorting the group, is Sama Huai. Nicknamed Seomjeon Gaeksu. (Lightning Fast 섬전쾌수(閃電快手))

He was well-known in the Sichuan area. Since the road to Yunnan is so rough and dangerous, he was hired as the escort captain for a large sum of money from the Peace Merchant Association.

It is even more difficult for people who doing business in Sichuan to not hear the nickname "Seomjeon Gaeksu."

But he's weaker than a bunch of bandits?

"I mean... What do you mean, those guys?"

"The bandits who are pulling wagons now. They're stronger than me."

"……."

Not even Mount Hua's disciples who overpowered the bandits, but those bandits are stronger than Seomjeon Gaeksu?

"You punks! Can you see my feet?"

The bandits that are being kicked by that young man?

"It's not just one guy, it's all stronger than me."

"...all ten of them?"

"Yes, every single one of them."

"……."

The captain glanced at the bandits with a tired face.

"Didn't they say they were Jang Ho-chae last night?"

"...I think I heard something like that."

"If this Jang Ho-chae is the one I know, they are notorious around here. I heard that it was an emerging force that gathered the bandits who were rampant around."

"I think I've heard that too……."

At this point, only one question remains.

"What the hell are they doing?"

"Well, I don't know, I don't...…."

Gwak has not heard anything from Tang Gun-ak about Mount Hua Sect. He was only told that they were his guests, so please take care of them.

There's only one thing he picked up.

"I've heard that they are disciples of Mount Hua."

"Mount Hua? Did you say Mount Hua? Do you mean Mount Hua on Shaanxi?"

"Yes, as far as I know...…."

"I heard that Mount Hua is recovering its old reputation recently, so..."

The captain of the escort shuddered.

But isn't this a little too much?

A group of bandits,  the strong Jang Ho-chae, was immediately defeated by such children.

It's not even like they gang up on them.

One of them, who looked young, trudged out and instantly beat up those scary bandits like dogs.

‘Tang Gaju-nim told me to take good care of them.'

So Gaju not saying that he should take good care of them because it's his guest...… but he means to be careful because if he doesn't serve them well, he could lose everything?

Gwak Haengsu coughed loudly.

It was so absurd and chaotic that he had held back until now, but now he have to organize it.

"Well...."

"What?"

Until now, Gwak Haengsu had only talked through Baek Chun, but now his eyes were on Chung Myung. Seeing him treat the bandits like horses, he thought he should talk to this person now.

"Wi- Will it be alright?"

"What?"

Chung Myung looks back at Gwak Haengsu with a bright face.

He seems to be feeling better as they advance faster.

"Ca- Can we enter Yunnan like this?"

"What? Why not?"

‘No, you punk!’

‘It's weird no matter how many times one looks at it! A man pulls a wagon!’

"Oh, those guys?"

"Yes, I can't help but look at it. In addition, there is a problem with the number of people. What do you answer when they ask what these people are?"

"We can call them bandits."

"Yes?"

"What would you say if you caught and attacked the bandits? There's no need to lie, right?"

"……."

‘No, that's true, but...’

Chung Myung smiled mischievously.

"They’re not going to count bandits caught in the middle of the road. I don't think they even think about that. Namman Yasugung Clan is also a human being."

"If they ask me how we subdued the bandits..."

"The escort over there beat them all up and punished them, and let them pull the wagon instead of the horse. Then everyone will like it. Anyway, it's a good thing."

"……."

Will they really like it?

But thinking about it, there doesn't seem to be any particular reason to hate the idea.

"How good is it? They'll pull a carriage instead of a horse, and they'll prepare a camp for you at night. Other than that, if you have something to make, make sure to make full use of them for many purposes ."

"Ca- Can I?"

"Yes. Wouldn't that be better than having them killed?"

"……Yes?"

"If Haengsu-nim say otherwise, I'll bury them in appropriate place. If we let them go, they'll rob someone again. I can't do that."

At Chung Myung's words, the bandits tied to the wagon shouted and shed tears with runny noses.

"Like a dog! No! I'll drag it diligently like a cow!"

"Let me work! I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

"Please do not abandon us! We can pull it off much better than those horses! Please!"

"……."

A beautiful sight full of passion for work... … to hell with it.

It was a desperate scene between life and apology. A desperate cry ensued to change Gwak's mind.

"Haeng-nim!"

"Hyung-nim!"

"Buddha-nim!"

‘How far have you gone?’

Gwak Haengsu closed his eyes tightly.

"Will it be all right? I think taking the bandits with us...…. It looks a little dangerous."

"Danger?"

Chung Myung tilts his head.

Chung Myung smirked as he kicked the bandits's butt.

"These guys?"

"……."

"Ah. From Haengsu-nim's point of view, you might be worried. Then, um...."

Chung Myung makes a troubled expression.

"Uh. Then... I should spare the legs because they have to pull the wagon. Shall I just break both arms?"

The bandits looked at Gwak Haengsu with an unparalleled earnestness in the world.

Seeing them shake their head violently, Gwak Haengsu was able to revive his sympathy.

"Then I'll break their arm so you don't have to worry!"

"Ah, no! Sohyup! Wait! Wait a minute! No matter how much, people's arms are can’t be just...!"

"What kind of people are they? They're killing people for money, and everyone here would be dead without us."

"Well, that's true, but...…."

"I save people who are supposed need to die, but they have to bear with broken arms. I think I'd like to leave only one leg, but there's a long way to go. Right."

Gwak Haengsu's voice became more urgent when Chung Myung stood from the driver's seat with a sword.

"Ca-  Calm down! Calm down, Sohyup! I'm fine! I won't be anxious at all! They'll understand if we tell them enough!"

"What?"

Then the bandits shouted quickly.

"I understand everything! I really understand, Sohyup!"

"We need arms to work harder! I'm good at digging and cooking rice! Please let me work!"

"If you put a finger on merchant people, I'll break you! Understand!"

"Help me! Help me!"

Chung Myung tilts his head.

"Did you really understand what I said?"

"That's right!"

"I'm telling you."

Chung Myung's eyes lit up.

"Why do people who can understand words do bandits in the first place, you bastards!"

Tttaaakkk!

Instead of the broken plum sword, the iron sword, which had been robbed by Tang Gunak, fell hard on the demon's head with its scabbard! (the raw is 한철검)

"These bastards, their limbs are intact and good at fighting but they just started robbing just because have nothing to do. I'm the one who beat Nongnimwangdo (녹림왕도/綠林兵 Green Forest Soldier)! Don't you dare play victim in front of me! I’ll kill you!"

Tttaak! Tttaak!

All the bandits who were pulling the wagon were pitiful.

But the most pitiful bandit was the one tied to Chung Myung's wagon.

"Don't think about being treated like a human being until we arrive in Yunnan!  You and horse! Pull and pull it until you reach the level of one with the body (馬我一體)! I'll tell you what Tao is!"

As Chung Myung began to glare, Gwak Haengsu turned to Baek Chun.

Baek Chun smiled brightly at the refreshing appearance.

"Give up. I can't stop him."

"……."

And the Sahyung added one by one.

"No, Sasuk. Still, Chung Myung has gotten a lot nicer. In the past, he would have broken one arm and legs and told them to pull the cart, but he would have said that he made a mistake." (the raw is 그래도 청명이가 정말 많이 착해졌습니다. 옛날 같았으면 일단 팔다리 부러뜨려 놓고, 짐마차 끌어야 하는데 실수했다고 아쉬워했을 텐데.)

"No, he will break your arms and legs and told you to pull the wagon."

"Oh, that's right."

Then Yoo Iseol spoke in a low voice.

"Head."

"Yes?"

"He didn’t break my head. He is nice."

"……."

"Don't worry. Anyway, thanks to this, the road will be much easier, and for the same reason, the bandits will also be able to change their minds."

"Change their mind?"

‘If they don't change their mind, they'll be dead. How can they not?'

Looking at Baek Chun muttering to himself, Gwak Haengsu smiled unknowingly.

‘I don't know anymore.'

Do what you want!

Thus, the journey Yunnan began to advance without problems at a speed several times faster than expected.

No problem... No problem...….

"Where do horse cubs eat human food! Eat the fodder, you bastards!"

There was a bit of a problem.

A very small problem.
