Chapter 154
Episode 154. Separate paths (1)
While the painter operated on the equipment, Liu Bi and Guan Yu retreated to a corner of the medical room and looked closely at Jang Goe and Ok Ju.
“Ooh ah.”
Guan Yu also answered in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear Liu Bei’s voice.
“Your brother.”
“How do those two look to my younger brother?”
“I can’t make a hasty decision because I haven’t competed directly, but… they are as strong as me.”
“I heard that the incompetence of an escort commander Ha who competed with his younger brother was great, but there are two more strong men who are as strong as his younger brother. I feel this many times while participating in this war, but I think there are really many heroes in the world.”
“Isn’t it because it reminds me of Son Gyeon and the generals he served with?”
“Yeah, Sun Jian was a really great person… The Hua Sheeosa Temple here is no less.”
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bi with a strange expression.
He and equipment had some idea of how big Liu Bei was. It was for this reason that the righteous army was gathered and trained in preparation for such an uprising.
Guan Yu tilted his head, realizing what Liu Bei was saying.
“But isn’t Mr. Hwa Sieosa a member of the Diet? The member is also a member who has earned a reputation as a tara, not an ordinary member of parliament.”
Aren’t you far from ambitious? It was an indirect question.
Liu Bei shook her head slightly at Guan Yu’s words.
“He’s so great that he’s called Tara, so maybe he’s a bigger person than Sun Jian.”
“I don’t know why my brother is so concerned all of a sudden.”
“Actually, I don’t care as much as you do. The only concern is that people’s hearts are focused on him.”
“The heart of the people?”
“Did you see him getting paid to treat the wounded today?”
“I didn’t see it.”
Guan Yu’s head nodded.
I vaguely guessed what Yuvi was talking about.
“I think not only those who were cured by him, but also how fellow soldiers, relatives of those soldiers, and people in their hometowns all think of Mr. Hua. Even now, they are called Uiseon or Tara and worship them, but as time goes by, they will grow bigger and inflate.”
“You’ve already gained a great reputation that cannot be compared to our criminal record.”
“yes. If Mr. Shea says someone is a good person, all the people will think so. that’s scary In the future, the world will become more dizzy and many heroes will arise and try to lead the people. At that time, if Mr. Hwa takes someone’s side, that person will win public opinion without much effort.”
The rumor that Liu Bei would come to a chaotic world was already predicted by many educated people who were awake.
There was a look of awe in Guan Yu’s eyes.
It is not that Liu Bei who can do this kind of analysis is great, but the practical life of the painter who makes Liu Bei feel that way is great.
A life of compassion for the people that people like yourself cannot dare to imitate, and practice it personally. It’s not just a day or two, it’s been several years, so it must be called Hwatani and Uiseon.
Who dares to find fault with such a righteous man? It seemed natural that his brother was concerned.
“Even though they had a bad relationship because of his brother, it’s clear that he’s a great person who doesn’t dwell on such a small bad relationship, judging from how he heals his shoulder. So, it would be good for us to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Mr. Hwa.”
“How can I make a good relationship?”
“Right now, since we don’t have anything, we can’t help it… but can we have a drink together?”
“yes? Is it just alcohol?”
“There’s nothing like drinking alcohol when it comes to forging relationships among men and strengthening righteousness. It will take a long time to heal Via, so send someone to prepare some wine and meat.”
“Would someone like Sheeosa want to drink with us?”
“He is a great man and a righteous man, so how can he be intolerant? I’ll set the mood somehow, so go ahead and get ready.”
“All right.”
When Guan Yu took some of his men and disappeared, Liu Bei approached Jiang Gui and Ok Zhu and talked to them in a friendly way.
* * *
‘Alcohol and meat….. It’s not like it came from Guan Yu’s head, is it Yubi? It’s much better than I knew.’
The painter saw the wine and meat brought by Guan-wu, and Jang-goe and Ok-ju, who had already become friends with Liu-bi, when he came out after the operation, and realized Liu-bi’s inner thoughts.
Jang-goe is easy-going and doesn’t care about people, but Ok-joo is not someone who gets along easily with others. Even so, he is already laughing and talking with Yubi.
Indeed, it could be said that he had a great affinity.
‘Oh… to meet the three brothers of Liu Bi, Guan Yu, and equipment like this. This is so… I don’t know what to say. Anyway… there’s nothing wrong with being close.’
Later, after Liu Bei recruited Zhuge Liang, he would become a brother-in-law and fulfill his ambitions. Until then, it won’t be much to see, but what about it? It’s a chance to get acquainted with the best people of our time.
“Sir Hwa, in order to apologize for my brother’s sins, I prepared alcohol and meat for the people who are suffering.”
When Liu Bei came and bowed his head, the painter smiled slightly.
“That is good too. But you’re not trying to put an end to all your mistakes, are you?”
“You mean this? I will pay back the favor of treating my younger brother.”
“Since you’re hungry, let’s talk while eating first.”
After a while, after a few rounds of alcohol, the awkward atmosphere at the beginning changed to a warm one, and Yubi and Guanwu started to become friends in earnest.
Equipment and Haman attended but drank meat and water because they were not allowed to drink alcohol.
Even though equipment and Harman didn’t drink, they quickly became close like old friends and cleared up misunderstandings about each other.
In fact, Harman was packing as an escort for firefighters, but in fact, he had fled about two months ago when the charter was unfavorable after fighting with the equipment. Because of this, when the equipment apologized, he quickly accepted it and became close.
“Then, are the scars that stretched from your face to your neck the marks that you received from Master Hua Shieo?”
“Yes, after that, I fell in love with Mr. Shea’s personality and decided to act as an escort.”
“For some reason, it was only after I came here that I realized that there are many people with scars like Captain Ha. If I had known that all the people treated by Mr. Shea had similar scars, I would have doubted it at least once… I’m sorry.”
“Well, it might be confusing to say that not only the scars but also the weapons are similar. Even I would have been confused.”
“Hahaha… Actually, the general of the Yellow Turbans who fought me wasn’t very good at martial arts, so I couldn’t compete with him. Captain Ha rather pushed me against it, so I’m very different from him. If Brother Wu hadn’t appeared and helped, Captain Ha’s iron club would have broken this mother-in-law’s head.”
“Oh no. I got lucky and pushed General Rain, but that was probably because I was careless, and if we were to officially face each other again… we wouldn’t win.”
Harman and equipment laughed heartily as they drank water from a large bowl like alcohol.
While the two of them were doing this, Liu Bei and Hwabu were also quickly becoming friends.
“ah! Then, at that time, did you treat Crown Prince Hwang Wan for his violation and receive a royal seal from His Majesty the Emperor?”
“yes. Originally, I didn’t intend to go into government service, but His Majesty called and bestowed me with the Sieosapae, so I couldn’t help but accept it. In any case, the Shea Temple doesn’t have to be chained to the imperial palace.”
“If Mr. Shea had been a little greedy, he would have been on a much bigger governmental path.”
“I’m going to do that. I don’t mean to, but even if I did, I wouldn’t have.”
“If it were me, I would have been given a higher official position, saying that it was right… You are amazing.”
“What’s so great about it? When I was in the government office, I couldn’t see the patients, so I just declined. I still hide the fact that I am a Sheeosa, so how can I handle the greetings if the injured seek me and say that I am a Sheeosa?”
During the conversation, Liu Bei’s eyes also showed a light of respect.
In fact, he had the idea of making the painter a supporter of himself in the future, but when he saw him truly caring for the patient and estranged from power, he suddenly felt ashamed.
‘I’m ashamed of myself for thinking of using someone like this. I don’t know what will happen to me in the future… If I go into government service, I should follow this man’s example.’
In the minds of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, the painter gradually began to take his place as a giant.
* * *
After meeting Liu Bei’s brother-in-law, Hwabu stayed for about 15 more days to treat patients, and when the Hwang army’s punitive forces withdrew, he packed up and prepared to return to Chohyeon.
“Now that the great riot is over, the world will be quiet.”
At Eulji’s question, the painter turned his head and looked at the villages around the completion that had turned into ruins.
It is a problem that countless people died, but a bigger problem is rice fields where the seeds of crops dried up because they were trampled by war horses.
Originally, by now, when spring has passed and early summer has passed, the fields should have been filled with crops and turned green. But now, the rice fields were reddish with ocher, and most of the mountains were burnt down, leaving only black ashes.
People died, the mountains died, and the fields died.
Of course, there were some survivors, but they would have to go through really hard times in the future.
“It would be nice if this was the end, but unfortunately I don’t think that will happen, so that’s what I’m worried about.”
While living with the painter, Eulji learned that his insight into the future was far superior to her own. I was surprised because
“yes! Is this just the start? Could there be another big riot like this?”
“The cause of the rise of the people saying that they can not live is corrupt officials, eunuchs, and a distraught emperor, but the cause has not been eliminated, so how can the world be quiet? This time, the grassroots rose up, but next time, the feudal lords and barons of each province will rise. And each person’s cause is right….. Whoa~. no. It will never be quiet anyway.”
The painter stopped talking, but Eulji was able to guess what he was going to say next.
“The world will fall into great confusion.”
“Even if you grow up, you will be in too much trouble.”
“The congressman predicts all of that… Is there any way to stop it?”
“How can I block the flow of the world?”
“The flow of the world is also what people do anyway. If you wish, Bishop Myung and I will work together to follow your wishes.”
The painter shook his head as he listened to Eulji.
“If I intervene, there will be more confusion. So let it flow for now.”
“Are you going to just watch innocent people being trampled on like this?”
Eulji’s eyes were open, but the fireman’s was cold.
