Surviving the Romance Fantasy

Not too long ago, when I went to report the information collected at the Bohyeon Tower, I saw the expression on the future… It looked like a lot of trouble. It was as if the tiredness had already reached its peak, stained with worries and worries.

“Hmm… I didn’t expect to get caught this far…”

I was sitting quietly on one side of the marketplace, nodding my head.

The life of going out to collect information in moderation, pretending to ask here and there, then buying rice soup, looking at the scenery, and then going to the inn.

To be honest, at first, I was so satisfied with this comfortable life that I hummed naturally, but no matter how much it is, now that the 15 days have passed, I wonder if it is okay to be like this.

At first, the fellow military officers who had been circling Hyeonmu City, gritting their teeth to make the ball, had lost their energy before they knew it.

“sh*t! In the first place, there is too little information about Hyunbi Po…! Even the features were all I heard by word of mouth, so there was no way it would have been possible to find a single person in this vast ecliptic…!”

“Still… can you find a clue! Hyeonbi-nim must have come out wearing a conspicuous and splendid court attire, and since he has no place to go, he must be wandering here and there!”

Around evening, when I went to see the same group of commanders, they were already scratching their heads among themselves.

Surely, she is not a girl who wanders around without a place to go, wearing such a flashy outfit.

Even just looking at it, it seems full of stories and it is an appearance that can only stand out, but it was too suspicious that there was no eyewitness information.

“For now, let’s search all the inns in Hyeonmu City tomorrow.”

The leader of this group was Han Cheon-seon, the deputy commander of the Red Palace.

The short-cropped head and rugged body were truly honest armaments themselves. He seems to be carrying out the role of future chief of staff, but he certainly seemed like a great staff member.

Finally, Han Chun-seon’s conclusion to search mainly for guest cups was the last, and the warlords who had gathered in Hyeonmu-si dispersed to their respective lodgings.

I also walked the streets of the ecliptic last night with the sound of swords clattering moderately.

‘It’s taking a lot longer than I thought… They say they can’t even get a clue until this point…?’

Certainly, Po Hyeon-bi is not one of those people who can be easily caught… but it was strange that it took so long.

Time goes by like that again. As each day goes by, the soup bowls of the soup restaurant near the entrance of Hyeonmu-si are piled up.

All I did was eat soup.

“Jumsoi, here’s a bowl of pork soup!”

“Oh, you’re here again, better! Aren’t you tired of soup?!”

Even if he said this, he would go around the market with the military commanders, and hang out next to him when he went around the city and inquired. They were sometimes hired together for stealth at dawn, and they often talked to each other by the side. I also have a minimal conscience.

However, I ended the day by eating soup at a soup restaurant in Hyeonmu-si that I always go to.

No matter how busy I was, I never missed this. Cancer, this is very important.

“Jumsoy! Here’s a bowl of bean sprout soup!”

“Yes, I am better!”

.

.

.

next day.

Take a lap around the market. Meet the armed forces and collect eyewitness information. Gathering information while walking around the city.

And eat a bowl of soup before going back to the dorm.

“Jumsoy! Here’s a bowl of pork soup!”

“yes! Get well!”

.

.

.

The next day when it rained.

“Jumsoi!”

“Pork soup, right?”

“No, bean sprout soup!”

“oh my! I thought I could guess today!”

.

.

.

.

“dot…!”

“Here is pork soup! customer!”

“…”

.

.

.

.

“…”

“Today is bean sprout soup, right?”

.

.

.

“How on earth can a person be so without a trace!”

Deputy Vice President Han Chun-seon clenched his fists and trembled.

“At least what you buy, how you change clothes, where you sleep… shouldn’t there be traces of life! How can there be no trace at all after digging for information so persistently!”

“There is a high possibility that the impression we already know has become almost meaningless.”

After a long time, all the detached groups gathered and sat down inside the Bohyeon Tower.

It was late in the morning, as it was obvious that if close to fifty military commanders were gathered, they would be noticed.

It’s been a month since I started searching for Hyunbi Po as of today.

Most of the speculation and passion has faded, and I wonder if this is really something I can find. Words began to come out about whether the impressionable information we had was meaningful or not.

Future sat in front of him and fell into deep trouble.

After all, I wonder if it would be impossible to lead only 50 detached troops in such a wide and magnificent city and catch Po Hyeon-bi like a flying squirrel.

Even so, it seems that I was able to deliver a piece of good news today.

“Sangseo-gwan heard about our situation where we are having difficulties in the search for Hyeonbi Po.”

“Do you think there will be additional staff?”

“no. As I said at the beginning, if the size of the search party is too large, it is likely to make things more difficult because it is easy to notice.”

“Is that so…”

“However, it is said that the plan was passed at the party meeting. They say that a Taeseong sword will be given to anyone who visits Hyeonbi Po.”

Silence hung over the middle of the room at Mirae’s words.

The Taeseong sword is a sword handed down as a reward only to those who were directly possessed by Heo Han by Emperor Unseong, and it is regarded as the highest honor that a military officer of the second class or lower can receive.

There are only two or three military officers who can hold the Taeseong sword every year, and the sword itself served as a shield to prove the military officer’s ability. Once he received the sword, it was enough to say that joining the enemy’s palace was a piece of cake if he wanted to.

“…”

However, I was already holding a Taeseong sword for saving Ingwibi last year. It is enshrined in the inner chamber of Baekseon Palace.

It’s not an old game, and it’s not like having two guns makes you twice as strong, so it’s not a very attractive lure from my point of view. In the first place, there is no desire to succeed.

“I-really…!”

“Tae, Taeseong sword…!”

However, speculation began to spring up again among other military officers.

If he could really hold the Taeseongsword in his hand, he would be ready to catch even the tiger of Mt. Baeksak, not Po Hyeonbi.

“However, we have been out of Qingdao Palace too long.”

Of course, it didn’t seem to bring only good news. In the future, as a leader of a group, he had to talk about reality as well.

“I didn’t know it would take this long. Everyone has been hired from various places in the palace, so it will soon start to interfere with the work of the place they belong to.”

I’m blown away by that word.

Going out on the streets full of the scent of spring every day, chatting with fellow military commanders and looking around Hyeonmu City, or eating soup at the end of the day.

After spending a leisurely day like that, before I knew it, I hardly heard about the current status of Baek Seon-gung, where I originally belonged.

Wang Han, my old friend, will take care of the hard work, but even so, it won’t be easy to fill my vacancy for such a long time.

And… the white line doesn’t have much life left.

Wasn’t the reason why I was guarding Baekseon Palace every moment, after all, to protect Baekseon’s deathbed?

Although he is an old man who can’t catch the thread at the moment, I received a lot from him.

That said, there’s nothing I can do for you, so just tell me to go comfortably on the way there and nod my head next to me… Or I just wanted to do it properly, so I stayed in the Baekseon Palace.

However, when I came to my senses, it was like I was drinking dirt on the roadside of the ecliptic. This is how it is… I have a feeling that this is right.

His life was in a critical situation, and he ran out to the ecliptic, but if you think about it, almost a month has passed.

At this point, both the princess and the hostess must have cooled down enough to cool their heads, and if they are lucky, there is a high possibility that their hearts will also cool down. Originally, when the body is far away, the mind is also far away.

Above all, the fact that I have not entered the Baekseon Palace for such a long time is highlighted, and I close my eyes again.

is it.

Yeon-ri-do, introspective elders, Han-yi-do, and white line elders.

As always, sitting in the inner room of the Paekseon Palace, living to the fullest. Since I haven’t seen him for such a long time, I’m worried on the one hand.

Perhaps the people of Baek Seon-gung are counting down the days when I will return. First of all, the work itself will be piled up too much.

No matter what, in the end, I was a person from the Baekseon Palace.

“Jumsoi!”

“Ah yes! Today… Mmm, bean sprout soup, right? be better! Ehehehe!”

nightfall. A large soup restaurant near the entrance of Hyeonmu City.

Today, after a tiring day, it was full of the sounds of ordinary people eating happily and chatting.

He answered excitedly and nodded to Jeom So-yi, who entered the kitchen, and sat down at the table at the soup restaurant he always came to.

A month and a few more days have passed.

It’s still a leisurely and leisurely day, but I can’t help but think that this is enough.

“Oh, get well! It seems like you really liked our soup! Here we are! As a regular customer, you have to do it right! If you need more broth, just tell me!”

I took a spoon and stirred the soup a few times, then took a bite.

“Is there anything else you need, sir?”

“At this rate, it was quite long for an outing.”

“yes?”

– ‘I miss the scent of cherry blossoms I used to smell at Chunhyangjeong Pavilion…’

These were the words spoken by Hyeonbi Pohwa-ryeong at the tea party of the Four Grand Palaces in Cheonryong Love Song.

The appearance is so elegant and beautiful that I thought the name Chunhyangjeong was the name of a scenic spot famous for its scenery.

After slurping soup a few more times, I turned my head and looked at the wooden signboard at the entrance of the store.

‘Chunhyangjeong’

After knowing the name, finding it wasn’t too difficult.

It’s not that it’s dark under the lamp…it’s just that everyone couldn’t imagine that the owner of Hyeonmu-gung would be serving food here.

There are not many people who can think of a fortune-teller wearing a fortune-telling suit, arms rolled up, and a towel wrapped around her head with her hair tied back as the Crown Princess.

“Let’s eat again at Qingdao Palace. Po Hyeonbi.”

“…”

Yes, in fact, there is no reason to go to a soup restaurant that does not have a mat head like a regular customer.

It was just that I had a different goal to check by visiting here every day.

“…………”

Jeom So-yi, who was serving soup, soon began to break out in a cold sweat.

“Checher… did you know from the beginning?”

“Please take back your respectful words, Mr. Po. It is mere samurai.”

*

A month has passed since Seol Tae-pyeong was away from Baekseon Palace.

According to the news heard, the search operation of the detached unit has not made much progress, so it seems that the day when the recruited warriors will return is still far away.

‘…’

– Whiik! widely! widely!

– Dripping!

Yeon-ri was shaking off the laundry and hanging it out in the yard of Baekseon Palace, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly ran out to the inner room.

It was the day when Sukbi came to be taught pilotage by Baekseon twice a week.

As if today’s teaching had been completed, Sukbi Jin Cheong-rang was hanging down her sleeves on the floor of Baekseon Palace.

“Joo, middle school maid Yeon-ri. I want to see the hostess.”

For the owner of the Blue Dragon Palace to enter the White Palace directly twice a week, it was quite burdensome for the maid.

Before coming, you have to polish the room every time, and if your hostess appears while you are working, you have to run out and say hello, and if there is any inconvenience, you have to solve it quickly.

Although Aunt Jin usually accompanies five ladies-in-waiting, there are definitely things that only the ladies-in-waiting of Baek Seon-gung can handle.

Yeon-ri had to be on the alert every time, fearing that the hostess would be uncomfortable.

And, actually, Sukbi, who came out of the boudoir, looked somehow uncomfortable.

…Actually, Yeon-ri didn’t know the reason either.

“Mister Jin!!! You worked hard today too!!! Lee Wang-han, secretary of Baek Seon-gung!!!!!! I will do my best to escort you so that you can eat at the concubine without any worries today!!!!!”

“Hold on to your worries!!! With my hawk eyes!!! I will take any risks!! hahahaha!!!”

The chubby clerk Wang Han lowered his head and made a fuss. In any case, he was a man who rushed at every opportunity to get ahead.

Shubi, who was covering her mouth with her cuffs, stared at Wang Han with her ax eyes open.

“…”

I almost said, “Get rid of this pig and bring Seol Tae-pyeong.” There’s no reason to say that.

However, there is no truth to what he has already said with his eyes.

Then, his shoulders drooped and he felt intimidated, like a puppy returning from a walk. If it had the ears of a beast, it feels like it would have been puffy and droopy.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the purpose of periodically entering the Baekseon Palace did not seem to be to learn pilotage.

Yeon-ri lowered her head and repeated herself as if in prayer.

‘Taepyeong-ah… not yet… not yet… not yet…!’

‘Never… you must never come back, Tae-pyeong-ah…!’

It is not as easy as one might think that Heaven grants Yeon-ri’s wishes. On the contrary, I would have listened to it if I had listened to it.

Still, isn’t there a law that always says that?

If Seol Tae-pyeong was still going to return to Baek Seon-gung, it would take some time.

From Yeon-ri’s point of view, it was really fortunate.

maybe.

Detached unit (3)

It’s a tough time.

If you only look at the splendid glory of Qingdao, all of its people may seem happy, but if you go to the slums of the imperial city right now, you can quickly see how deep the bottom is.

No matter how much the times change, there are laws that do not change. The rich live a splendid life and the poor live a miserable life.

Yes. It is common sense regardless of the era that the poor usually find it difficult to take care of themselves.

So, in a way, it was natural that Pohwaryeong was abandoned at the foot of Mt. Baeksak at a young age.

It’s just that my family wasn’t wealthy enough to take care of a child with a fever.

*

An awkward silence lingers.

While Hyeonbi Pohwa-ryeong stared blankly at Seol Tae-pyeong in a cold sweat, Seol Tae-pyeong was still slurping soup.

I fully understand how embarrassing Pohwaryeong must be, so I was giving her time to organize her thoughts.

Po-ryeong had no choice but to think a lot.

After visiting this place as a regular for almost a month, what was the reason for staying silent even after finding out about Pohwaryeong?

From the point of view of Pohwa-ryeong, there is no way to know the reason. However, it was only that Seol Tae-pyeong was not very happy that Po-ryeong was caught too soon, and that he returned to Baek Seon-gung too early.

“A month is passing. The maids of Hyeonmugung must be very worried.”

“…”

“Or, is there any other reason you had to come out like this?”

The Taeseong sword that is hung like a bounty on Pohwa-ryeong is something that all military men cannot but covet with their eyes on.

Even so, Seol Tae-pyeong doesn’t particularly rush to catch Pohwa-ryeong.

Unlike the other warriors, Seol Tae-pyeong’s attitude, which was infinitely leisurely, caused Po-ryeong to tremble for a moment.

“Then…then let me tell you why I had to come out of Qingdao Palace…”

“It’s difficult if you lower your words.”

“Ah… let me tell you…”

Po-ryeong put the tray she was holding on the table and spoke seriously with her voice low.

“You, don’t be too surprised… no…”

“…”

“The reason why I had to escape from Qingdao Palace like this…!!”

“…”

When Seol Tae-pyeong put down the soup spoon and swallowed, Po-ryeong spoke with a serious expression.

“The reason is!!!!!!!!”

After saying that, Pohwa-ryeong untied the raisin wrapped around her head and ran out of Chunhyangjeong Pavilion.

“…”

Seol Tae-pyeong, who had been sitting for a while, was dumbfounded, then realized that Po-ryeong had run away.

– Grasp!

After coming out of the marketplace, Po-ryeong lightly spread light air, then kicked off a pillar of a wooden building, jumped up, and threw herself onto the roof.

Landing on top of the tiled roof, I turned around and took a fall, then took a quick look around.

It is not easy to chase the Po-ryeong, who can fly lightly like a feather, no matter how unarmed he is.

However, Pooryeong did not know. The opponent was Seol Tae-pyeong before he was a military officer.

– Woe!

Seol Tae-pyeong, who followed and jumped out into the marketplace, followed the footsteps to the exact spot where Po-ryeong jumped up.

When he landed on the tiled roof and looked up, Po-ryeong was surprised to break out in a cold sweat.

“hehehehe!!!”

With a pale expression, he quickly kicks off the tiled roof and runs out. As it was, Po-Ryeong jumped over the building and ran outside Hyeonmu City and ran again.

The merchants full of surroundings looked up at it curiously, but they didn’t care and ran as if they were floating in the air, kicking off the walls of the building.
