    [Episode 366] Whether you sleep or wake up, be careful of the fire. Let’s see the fire that has been extinguished again.

    The experienced soldiers of the Daesoon Lake shared a look and waved their fingers.

    Many people are conversing silently in sign language making eye contact opening their fingers folding and opening their hands and pretending to hit their palms with a hammer.

    The level of sign language they use to hide their presence is such that you can immediately tell how elite this unit is.

    So these are conversations that took place in sign language.

    -stop. Civilian obstacles ahead. Two guard posts one breakthrough point but no guards.

    – Approach the advance team on standby for the suspended steel workers protest and observe the situation.

    -Closing the state of civil obstruction. No guards. No sign of enemies. Does it break through?

    -Judgement reserved. Wait a moment and listen.

    There was silence for a while about a day later.

    The scout team standing close to the left and right of the closed wooden door sends sign language again.

    -There is no sign of an enemy.

    -atmosphere.

    So the general and his adjutant begin to make on-site decisions in whispers.

    ‘Didn’t you flee because you saw the forest fire?’

    ‘A lot of smoke is rising.’

    ‘He could have left without stopping.’

    ‘Considering that the smoke in the distance is very harsh. It wasn’t at the level of a fire so someone must have filled it with new firewood and raised the fire.’

    ‘What do you want to do? Is it a forced breakthrough?’

    ‘It’s a private village. It is not a good time to create unnecessary trouble so try to shout out first and if there is no response break through.’

    ‘All right.’

    So the adjutant raised both hands and approached the village’s wooden fence step by step.

    They say there is no enemy border but I can’t really feel any signs of being different.

    So the adjutant took a deep breath and then let out the loud voice of a northern man.

    “I’m-!!” / Sigh!

    At the same time the door opens carefully making the sound of wood twisting.

    The adjutant blinked.

    what? I haven’t even started to introduce who I am let alone tell you to open it yet?

    Cheongdo was also surprised.

    What is it? What is it that this guy stands quietly in front of the door but as soon as he opens it he screams for no reason?

    In the northern part of the village the members of the Golden Guard were resting so they took advantage of the opportunity to sneak out through the south gate.

    As soon as I open the door some guy starts yelling as if he’s been waiting.

    So a very awkward exchange of glances ensued between Cheong and the stranger who was wearing a chest strap and holding a sweet potato in one hand.

    Wow. Cheong chewed the sweet potato in his mouth once and then took one step back another step three steps four steps. Only then does my butt touch the cart.

    Cheong pushes the cart back with his butt then quietly closes the door again.

    I’m sorry.

    The stockade door slowly closes with the sound of wood twisting as if they were trying to pretend it never happened.

    The adjutant shouted urgently.

    “Stop! “If you don’t stop I’ll shoot you!”

    Gulp.

    Cheong swallowed the under-chewed sweet potato due to the stinging sensation.

    Still I was glad that I didn’t choke because it was a raw sweet potato.

    The idea of ​​shooting doesn’t really impress me.

    The gate of the fortified village was made of thick boards so even if an iron siege were to break through it would only be a siege that had already lost all its speed.

    However if you make a fuss and the members of the Geumuiui come around you will become very angry.

    Well if you get surrounded from front to back well.

    For now Cheong did as he was told and stopped.

    In fact these doors are reassuring when fighting among civilians but if they are caught by a proper unmanned person they are flimsy and flimsy obstacles that do not even give you time to take a few steps.

    Should I try to think about it and pretend to be a woman fleeing?

    I took refuge with my sick old mother and my immature sick younger brother.

    They may be mysterious refugees who left the intact North Gate behind and headed towards Namsan Mountain where the fire was burning but a plan conceived on the spot is bound to be as shallow as a puddle of water.

    So Cheong clears his throat hmm-

    “Come. okay. Someone said. “He’s a rickshaw puller pulling a cart.”

    Pretending to know who is on the other side.

    A man wearing a thick blue coat. There is no woman at the military gate so he must be a man.

    Although the blue is out of focus and cannot be seen acorn-sized iron pins are neatly placed on the outside of the coat sparkling with silver.

    It looks like a thick coat but it is a type of armor quilted on the inside with iron plates attached to each round iron nail head.

    “Oh come to think of it! you! “He was the guy who dared to kick me!”

    When the adjutant saw Cheong’s size he immediately thought of the rickshaw puller.

    How great are the winter clothes worn by country people?

    It’s just an item filled with cheap cotton and puffed up and the cotton isn’t evenly distributed so it’s thick in some places and thin in others and frankly it’s a poor-looking garment.

    Since you can’t tie the belt again over the affected area that has been tightened it’s like wearing fine cotton yarn which doesn’t suit a rich bloated man.

    The adjutant was furious but somehow he didn’t look particularly hostile.

    Cheong imitated the man’s voice.

    “I am sorry about that. However if you say that I kicked him it would be a bit unfair and I was worried that he might get hurt so I just gave him a gentle push with my foot.”

    “what? Push with your foot!? “If you push twice you’ll catch someone!”

    “I’m so sorry because the fire is chasing me and I can’t see anything but I don’t have anything else to give you. “Do you want to eat some sweet potatoes?”

    “What is this making fun of people-”

    “okay. “If you’re in a hurry you can do that.”

    The general nodded interrupting the adjutant who had interrupted Cheong’s words.

    The adjutant immediately made an aggrieved noise.

    “warlord! But didn’t this guy really kick me in the chest! “I’ve done my best but how can you treat me so poorly?”

    “The parties involved will figure it out on their own. So what is your name?”

    Cheong thought for a moment and then answered.

    “Oh that small person is called Eon Yeon-yeong.”

    “How are you?”

    “Eon Yeon Young.”

    “How are you? “Eh Cider or Un Cider?”

    “Mr. Eon-nyeo no Eon-nyeo-nyeong no Eo-young even I am confused.”

    It is a very difficult name to pronounce.

    “Whatever the name is. So did you have any intention of joining the military? I saw your capabilities and you are a perfect fit for my army. “Would you like to come with me?”

    “Thank you for your words-”

    At that moment the general raises his hand.

    Then with a deliberate orderly sound the soldiers spread out in a semicircle aimed their crossbows. No it seems like he’s aiming.

    “It seems you misunderstood what I said. I didn’t specifically ask for your opinion. Who in the world would want to buy soldiers from the Northern Army? They say they would rather die. Which side are you? Would you rather be alive and be a soldier or would you rather be dead?”

    Do you want to go to the military with me or die?

    Do you want to re-enlist with me or die?

    This is a truly difficult problem.

    This is why even a certain Western king would have muttered before re-enlistment that the question was whether he would live or die.

    Because living as a soldier is not living anyway.

    Are you living like a human being?

    Would you rather die as a human?

    This is the famous re-enlistment versus death problem: a miserable life or a peaceful death.

    To be or not to be that is the question.

    To do or not to do that is the question.

    Surprisingly Cheong is a peerless beauty who has completed her military service.

    Wouldn’t it be better to die than to go back to the military?

    No matter what the military is like these days this is a primitive ancient barbaric world and it doesn’t seem like it will be more shitty than it was back then.

    However according to the law of the country women cannot purchase military registration.

    If you ask why a national law was enacted it is because there are many people who break it.

    In this era the military is all about meeting the quota for each household so if you don’t want to go yourself and don’t want to send your precious son your daughters are left behind to be sold to someone else’s house anyway.

    When a daughter is married off the husband’s family must send a gift to the wife’s family and this amount is called chaerye.

    So a daughter is something to raise well and make a lot of money by filling it with vegetables.

    So if you give up the wedding ceremony you will be made to disguise yourself as a man and do military service instead.

    Anyway Cheong thought.

    Because women cannot serve in the military.

    First I said I would understand and hung out but then I made Jayu and Yeonpa take refuge and then I felt sorry! Wouldn’t it be okay to just say she was actually a woman and get away with it?

    “That general. I have a sick old woman and her sickly son. “First of all the old lady is not in very good shape so we were going to take her to Seonnyeong’s maternal home but would it be okay to do that after taking care of the old lady for a while?”

    “Oh yeah. For some reason they said they were pulling a rickshaw. You weren’t in the military? For some reason I thought it was a power that would be difficult for an unknown soldier to possess. “It looks like you are taking care of your sick old mother.”

    The general nods his head as if he is amazed.

    The disapproving adjutant’s eyes also softened and took on a slightly gentle glow.

    He’s the one who dared to kick Na-ri’s heart his heavenly adjutant but if he said he was desperate to save his old mother I wonder if he could be blamed for that.

    “Yeah but I’m glad I have another child. Even if you do military service you will still have someone to support. Did you say Seonyeong? Three. “I looked at the map.”

    “If it is Seonnyeong it will be on the west side along the mountainside.”

    “Then we can stop by Shenyeong and then return to Beijing. “Then let’s get everyone in formation as we are still under the influence of the fire magic so we must quickly escape.”

    “Oh there. “General?”

    Then Cheong summoned the general.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    “There are some rather suspicious people sitting in that village right now and I definitely heard them talking about the Geumwiui Committee.”

    The general’s expression was very upset.

    In comparison Cheong’s expression brightens a little.

    Oh are you two not getting along?

    “Nothing good would happen if we ran into each other for no reason. Hmm you know the geography of this town well right? You will know where to go in order to avoid being noticed. “Isn’t that so?”

    “You can say that too.”

    If there is a road that is not visible shouldn’t you just break through the wilderness and head west?

    So it’s not really a lie.

    “Okay then you take the lead.”

    It was just as Cheong took the lead with the cart and was about to set off.

    “Stop!”

    No matter how bad the military discipline of the Geumuiwi was it appointed Hwagyeong as its commander in several Chojeoljeongs.

    So even if it was Nammun wouldn’t he have heard the adjutant with a good voice shouting loudly?

    Of course everyone was forced to come out.

    The gruff voice made everyone pay attention wondering if the refugees had come back but then the captain who was sulking got grumpy and asked if we were sitting still even after hearing the suspicious sound.

    However sometimes this grumpiness pays off and the guards of the Geumwiwi captured the appearance of Daesun Cheonho of the Northern Army who should be in full swing by now.

    Thus the guards of the Geumuiwi Byeolgi Army appear through the wide open south gate and stand shoulder to shoulder with an arrogant attitude.

    Outside the south gate northern soldiers surrounded the area.

    “Who is this? Isn’t this General? I believe I have conveyed your solemn imperial command. “Please return after confirming that the fire line has been set on fire and the traitors have been killed.”

    “Perhaps the wind was strong or something caused it to burn much faster than expected. “The mission was completed as scheduled so don’t worry.”

    Cheong who went straight into the game with a sense of tension chewed the sweet potato.

    “That makes sense-”

    “What doesn’t make sense?”

    “The saree doesn’t fit! It was barely half an hour since we arrived in the village! But if you guys are here-”

    “Did you see it with your own eyes? “I saw with my own eyes that the fire line was being burned down and withdrew even if the people who were spending their leisure time in this corner of the country said so.”

    “How dare you? Do you play and eat? “How dare you be rude to an adult-”

    “There is a clear lineage so there is no reason for me the commander of the Cheonho to listen to you inferiorly. Show respect to the military.”

    Makseok’s face turned red as he stopped talking for the third time in a row.

    “It looks like you really want to die but today is your memorial day. “Search everyone!”

    Ok. The guards of the Geumuiui draw their swords.

    The general also raises his arms and the soldiers who have already formed a semicircle surround raise their steel oars and aim them at the guards.

    Cheong’s eyes are bright. The mouth is constantly wagging.

    Oh will we get a chance? Do centipedes fight among themselves?
