Chapter 174
Episode 174. Another pair of shoes (1)
The patient was dressed in casual clothes, but the material of the clothes itself was silk, and the shoes were also made of luxurious leather that was double-padded to make them impervious to arrows.
‘In addition, the clothes of the author, who seems to be a subordinate, are quite high-end, and his sword is also a famous sword.’
To employ such a person as a subordinate, he had to be regarded as one of the highest rank in Eoyang-gun.
The fireman thought for a moment and then opened his eyes.
‘Couldn’t he be Jang or Jang Soon?’
It was a guess, but it was a guess close to certainty. The fireman thought so.
‘How do you do this? Should I save someone like that? Damn I’m a doctor… but I can’t let a bastard like that live. How many people have died because of him so far.’
The painter was very angry inside, but he could not come forward and stop the treatment.
It was because his guess was not yet certain, and he had been treating patients without distinguishing between enemies and children.
The fireman hurriedly took a deep breath to calm himself down.
‘Calm down, calm down. Not sure yet. First of all, it’s not too late to make a decision after confirming that the author is really Zhang or Zhang Yang.’
You don’t have to go far to confirm your guess, just find a soldier from Eoyang Army among the patients being treated here and ask. And if you still can’t check it, you can call Yubi or Guan Yu’s equipment to check it.
Those who fought directly on the battlefield would know the enemy commander.
The fireman turned his head and looked at the Janggoe.
‘Come to think of it, Guard Zhang may have known since he participated in the battlefield.’
The fireman approached Janggoe while watching Pyeonseon and Buna prepare to operate on a man with an arrow stuck in his stomach.
Jang-goe and Eul-ji were together, talking in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, but when the fireman approached, the conversation hurriedly stopped.
The painter looked at the Janggoe and looked at Eulji.
‘Oh, come to think of it, Bishop Eulji said he knew the bishops of other states.’
“Bishop B. By any chance, the patient Seon is treating… isn’t he one of the heads of Eoyang County?”
Eulji’s eyes widened at the painter’s direct question.
“W You noticed too. The author is Bishop Jean Gere.”
“Somehow, it looked alike.”
“Actually, just a moment ago, I was debating with Howee Jang whether or not I should inform this fact to Master Eosa.”
“The reason you didn’t tell me right away… is it because you think I’ll block the disciples’ treatment?”
“no. I will unconditionally support whatever decision the Master makes. However, I was hesitant because I was afraid that my words would shake the priest’s convictions.”
“My convictions are unshakable.”
“That’s right.”
Eulji and Janggoe looked slightly disappointed at the fireman’s firm answer, but did not say anything different.
After looking at the two, the painter turned around and approached Pyeonseon and Buna.
The two were carrying a man with an arrow lodged in his stomach to a tent for surgery.
“Seoni and Aya. Do not operate on him.”
For a moment, Pyeon-seon and Bun-a looked at the painter with expressions that did not understand.
“yes? What are you talking about?”
“Is there no hope for us to operate?”
“It is not. Surgery can save it.”
“Then why are you not letting me?”
The fireman looked at the two quietly and then opened his mouth.
“Because he is Janggeo, the head of Eoyang County.”
“Come on, it’s long.”
It happened almost at the same time that Bun-a and Pyeon-seon were startled, and Jang-geo’s henchman, Geon-hyo, drew a sword from his waist.
Sureureung.
However, Geonhyo did not dare to swing the sword he had drawn out.
Just when it came, Zhang Gui held a sharp blade to Jianxiao’s neck.
“If you don’t want to die, put down that knife.”
Geonhyo swallowed dry saliva and let go of the knife he was holding.
“W I heard that this place does not discriminate against people and treats people… but it must have been a false rumor.”
“That’s right. It’s bullshit. So take the long one and get out of here.”
It was the fireman who spoke.
I wanted to tell Janggoe to kill him, but I couldn’t bear it.
‘If he lived, he would kill many people again…’
But he couldn’t tell him to kill him. Also, I didn’t think I would be able to live even if I got out of here anyway.
Geon-hyo made an expression of disbelief at the painter’s words.
“Turn it off? Are you saying you’re going to let us go like this?”
“If I leave this room, someone will kill me. If you’re lucky, you might live. Anyway, your party can’t heal you, so hurry up and take them away.”
Geon-hyo glanced at the people around him. Everyone seemed to agree that the fireman’s words were absolute.
“I get it. I can’t help it if you don’t treat me.”
When Zhang Gui removed the sword from his neck, Jianhyo hurriedly put Zhang Ge on his back. And quickly got out of the room.
“Are you really going to send it like this?”
Janggoe asked, and the fireman nodded with a firm expression.
“I can’t. Still, this is a place to save people, not a place to kill them.”
“Someone else might save it.”
“Let’s consider that person’s destiny.”
The painter smiled bitterly at Pyeon-seon and Bun-ah, who seemed very embarrassed.
“Just because you are members of the parliament, you don’t have to unconditionally save people. It is okay to save only the people who need to be saved and not to save those other people.”
“I see.”
The painter turned around, looking at the disciples who nodded with a confused face.
‘I don’t know if I’m teaching well either. When I watch a movie or something, even a murderer who kills people recklessly saves people’s lives by saying things like human rights… I guess I can’t do that.’

When the news came that Jangyang, who had disappeared from the palace, had died while participating in the rebellion of Jang-geo Jangsun’s brother, a smile came to Geon-seok’s lips.
Qianshi was originally Zhang Yang’s right-hand man.
The emperor hated Zhang Yang after being cured by the painter, but somehow did not distance himself from Cao Deng. So, most of the eunuchs, including Geon-seok, maintained their power by clinging to Jo-deung again.
Geon-seok began to receive the emperor’s favor again because of Jo-deung’s consideration, but on the other hand, he was worried that Jang-yang would return and deceive the emperor again.
To think he died…
Geon-seok took out some of the tools Jang-yang used from his arms.
I didn’t formally learn how to do it from Jangyang, but I knew roughly how to do it because I’d been watching from the side.
“Your Majesty is appalled at this scented candle because you already know its usefulness. But there is no need to burn this as incense.”
Geonseok was made by finely pulverizing fragrant grass called mongcho. Then, he mixed the powder with the perfume he obtained for a thousand gold.
This perfume was sold by a fireman for a large sum of money to some noble ladies while treating patients in the imperial city, and Geon-seok received one of them as a bribe.
Geon-seok, who mixed all the perfume with moncho powder, put it in his bosom, bitten his subordinates, and called the nine-year-old Se-hyang to his place.
Sehyang was the Nine who was chosen today and was supposed to enter the emperor’s bedchamber.
Usually, when Nain is chosen by the emperor, the courtiers wash themselves and the courtiers conduct education and inspection.
Since Geon-seok was the head of the courtiers, he could call Se-hyang at will and give him instructions.
“Did you call? Senior Commander.”
Sae-hyang was intent on clearing her trembling body as she greeted Geon-seok.
There were about 8,000 of the court ladies and nine in total. Among those 8,000 people, only a few are chosen by the emperor.
became one of them.
Of course, being chosen does not mean that one becomes a rain or a palace unconditionally.
Even after being selected, you need to be favored by the emperor in order to achieve great success. And in the middle, the people who played a decisive role in success were those who were right in front of me.
“So, did you have a good bedroom education?”
“Yes, well received.”
“There is no such thing as trembling. The reason I called you was not because I doubted you, but because I wanted to discuss with you how to please Your Majesty more.”
“yes! Ah yes.”
“You don’t know yet, but His Majesty hates smelly girls.”
“yes?”
Sehyang was startled and opened her nose and sniffed to see if there was an unpleasant odor coming from her body.
“Will you be able to smell the smell of your body that you are already familiar with through your nose?”
“…..”
“And I have a special slander to please your Majesty, so don’t worry.”
Geon-seok took out the perfume with his coy eyes and placed it in front of Se-hyang.
Sehyang did not dare to touch the perfume and looked at her with her eyes wide open.
“What is this?”
“Open the lid and smell it.”
Sehyang opened the lid, smelled it, and involuntarily inhaled.
“How are you?”
“It is fragrant as if thousands of flowers were gathered together. What is it?”
It seemed that this scent could cover the smell of poo from the body.
“It is a precious thing called perfume. If you put this on your body, it will cover up any stench coming from your body.”
A glimmer of greed shone in Sehyang’s eyes as she listened to Geonseok’s words.
Although he was afraid and trembling, he knew what a rare opportunity in his life this night would be.
“How can I get this?”
Geon-seok read the young greed in her eyes and laughed inwardly.
“It is already yours.”
“yes?”
“What are you so surprised about? Could it be that I held it out just to smell it?”
“Ha, but I haven’t bought anything I can give you…”
“I don’t have it now, but I will in the future. Oh, of course I don’t want anything grandiose. Because I have shame too.”
“…..”
“If, in the future, you fall in love with His Majesty…. It is a small gift given in advance to ask you to take good care of me.”
“Of course, if I continue to receive favors from His Majesty, I will serve Lieutenant General Sanggun as my lifelong benefactor.”
“Heh heh heh, it’s not that grandiose… By the way, do you know how to use this perfume?”
“Isn’t that what you put on your mother’s body?”
“yes. that you put on your body. But you can’t apply this precious thing all over your body. Therefore, focus on the part where His Majesty’s lips will touch…”
Geon-seok explained in detail how to use the perfume, and gave him some points to be careful about, such as what the emperor likes and what he should never do in bed.
She didn’t realize it, but his story was mixed with the ways Geon-seok could seduce the emperor.

The painter was also in the middle of considerable trouble.
“It’s not what I wanted, but now that I’ve become close with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, should I meet Sun Jian?”
Sun Jian was killed by an arrow within a few years, but his second son, Sun Quan, later founded Wu.
“Considering the future, I think it would be better to get close to that father… but I think it would be better if I want to freely travel around the country later.”
