Chapter 198
Episode 198. Behind the scenes finally revealed (1)
“I see. By the way, how was Master Hwa’s slander?”
“It was garbage.”
For an instant, an absurd light flashed in Yu Dan’s eyes.
“yes! Garbage? Was it that bad?”
“It’s not just crappy… I couldn’t quite make out it.”
Old Man Namhwa took out a book the painter had made from his luggage and held it out so that he could read it.
Yu Dan flipped through the pages of the book and widened his eyes when he saw that it was full of strange and unknown characters.
“I heard that there are dozens of countries that speak different languages if you cross the desert of the West Station and reach the end of the silk road… Did Congressman Hwa study that language?”
“How would you know that? The important thing is that these letters are unfamiliar to me, and because of that, until I find someone who can interpret them, they are just garbage.”
“You are a very clever fellow.”
“Some are clever and some are evil.”
“Evil?”
When Yu-dan made a slightly incomprehensible expression, the old man Nam-hwa spat in his mouth and spoke passionately.
“Look at these pictures. At first glance, isn’t it a precise drawing of a human body cut into pieces?”
“okay.”
“Do you think you drew this with your imagination? Or do you think you drew it by looking at it?”
“I must have seen and drew it.”
“So it is evil. That bastard’s medicine and medicine… These are things that can’t come out without experimenting with countless people.”
“Huh~. After listening to Master’s words, I realized that the doctor was a wicked person in the world.”
“yes. He wears the mask of a sage to heal people, but at the root, he is like a devil who is so evil. But this stupid bastard of the sadang betrayed me to escort such a bastard, so how angry will I be?”
“okay. I fully understand Master’s feelings.”
“Go ahead and call the shrine. And among the merchants who have been on the silk road, if there is someone who knows the letters of the country beyond the West Station, bring them.”
“All right. If the brother-in-law of the party refuses to come, I will drag him by the collar.”

When the priest came and said that the teacher was looking for him, Sadang pondered for a while, but soon nodded and followed.
“To call me a traitor… that’s absurd. Okay, let’s hear what the hell you’re talking about.”
No matter how much Sadang is a teacher, this time I was going to take a hard look at it.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the inn where the master was, and we could see the master making his own after ordering drinks and snacks.
“The shrine meets Master.”
Although Sadang announced their breakup, the relationship with the teacher was not completely severed, so they set an example.
“Looking at your rugged face, you must have a lot to tell me. Sit down for now.”
“yes.”
Old Man Namhwa nodded toward Yu Dan as he sat down in front of the shrine.
“The two of you have something to talk about, so go outside for a while and get some fresh air.”
“All right. Master.”
When Yu Dan went out of the inn, the old man Namhwa and the shrine faced each other.
As the awkward silence, which was different from before, passed, the old man Namhwa took up his drink.
“Would you like a drink?”
“Yes, please.”
“I heard from Dan-i that he became an escort for Congressman Hwa? Did what I did make you sad enough to make that decision without a word of discussion?”
Sadang drank the wine from the glass at once, poured it into the master’s glass, and poured more into his own.
“I can understand why Master covets the secret arts of the Hwabu doctor, but the method is still wrong. He healed the feet of his eldest niece Sao and saved the life of his niece who had attempted suicide.”
Took.
At that time, Old Man Namhwa took out the book he had shown to Yu Dan from his luggage and held it out.
“What a big deal the doctor treated people. Do you know what this is?”
“Is this a book containing Congressman Hwa’s secret plan?”
“right. Take a look.”
“I don’t like it. I don’t want to do anything shameless like Master.”
“I already ate the swearing at you for being shameless, so take a look. There are many reasons why I want to see it.”
Old Man Namhwa reached out and opened the book when the shrine did not open it.
“How are you? Do you recognize these pictures?”
“It seems to have drawn organs in the human body.”
“I know right away. From your point of view…”
Namhwa asked Sadang what he had asked Yu Dan and began to explain how evil the painter was.
Old Man Namhwa’s words made sense at first glance, so Sadang had to think for a while.
Then he opened his mouth.
“But the Hwa I’ve been through wasn’t a bad person.”
“Tsk, did a wicked man write on his forehead that I am a wicked man? Did you really think I would steal Congressman Hwa’s books?”
“I couldn’t.”
“That’s it. How can a guy who doesn’t know the speed of a teacher who has been with him for decades know the inside of a doctor like Dalpo?”
“But… I’ve yet to see his evil deeds with my own eyes, so it’s hard for me to accept Master’s words.”
“Ah, it’s because my ears are blocked like this. listen carefully. You can’t draw a human figure like this simply by dissecting a few people, and even these letters…” The
old man, Namhwa, continued to offer drinks to the sadang, slandering the painter.
Sadang also drank continuously without skipping the alcohol given to him by his teacher, probably feeling stuffy.
The more the alcohol went into the sadang’s mouth, the more the smile on Old Man Namhwa’s face grew.
‘Kuh, did I say that this is why black-headed beasts aren’t harvested and raised? After he betrayed me once, he didn’t even listen to my words and only took the side of the fireman. You will no longer be my disciple, but my puppet.’
Sadang is unaware of it, but old man Namhwa is already drunk and drugged. And now gossiping about the fireman was a hypnotic process.
Sadang did not expect that his teacher, Old Man Namhwa, would hypnotize him, so he gradually fell in love with his words.
Old Man Namhwa’s hypnotism was different from Hwabu’s, and it took a long time to be brainwashed.
From that day on, old man Namhwa called the shrine every night to drink alcohol, increasing the intensity of his hypnotic techniques.
After meeting and listening to the master for several days, Sadang began to think at some point that what he said made a lot of sense and that the painter might not be a good person as he sees it, but a bad person.

Soon after the painter left Luoyang, Sun Jian also left Luoyang, and Gongsun Zan also left.
Shao Shao, the leader, later learned that Sun Jian had taken the emperor’s seal, and sent a wild horse to attack Sun Jian by his brother Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Liu Biao was gathering troops to attack Dong Zhuo’s army even belatedly, so he attacked Sun Jian at the command of Shao Shao, the leader.
While Sun Jian and Liu Biao were fighting, the feudal lords of Luoyang did not intend to attack Dong Zhuo’s army, but when the food ran out, they started fighting to take food from each other. .
Then the feudal lords distrusted each other and left Luoyang, all returning to their own dwellings.
The feudal lords who returned to their residence did not disperse the army because Dongtak’s army was still in good health, but as a result, the military food was still insufficient.
In order to secure food for the military, Element attacked Giju, drove away Hanbok, who was the main focus, and committed an unscrupulous act of becoming the main attention himself. Then, Gongsun Zan from the north attacked Shao Shao and started a war to take Qi Zhu.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought, Sun Jian and Liu Biao fought, and Cao Cao gathered the righteous army again to defeat Dong Zhuo’s army.
Hwabu heard through Eulji that there was a war going on in many places, but this time he did not go to the battlefield, but continued towards his hometown.
Fortunately, his hometown, Yeju Chohyeon, was fortunate to escape from such a whirlwind of war.
“Senator, aren’t you going to the battlefield this time?”
When Eulji tilted his head, the painter shrugged.
“From distilled alcohol to saliva and suture needles… I spend so much in Luoyang that I can’t even treat patients now, even if I want to. So I have to take a break for a while and replenish it.”
“ah! okay. Well, yesterday I saw that there were only a few bottles of distilled liquor left.”
“There is not a single medicine that is not a consumable.”
“Since many lawmakers have suffered a lot so far, it’s not bad to take a break at this point.”
“Yes. You can do more when you are well rested.”
“By the way, Senator, the four guards are a bit suspicious these days.”
“why? What’s going on?”
“He kept going outside at night, so I attached someone to follow him… but my subordinate who followed him is not coming back.”
Eulji’s expression was rather serious.
Hwabu knew how good Eulji’s men were. I was very surprised because
“Has the four escorts returned?”
“Yes, I came back yesterday and went out again a little while ago.”
“You didn’t tail me today, did you?”
“I didn’t attach it today.”
“Where are you going?”
“A few days ago, his priest, Yu Dan, came and took me away. Since that day, I have been going out at night.”
“The person who followed has gone missing, and if it was called by a estranged priest, maybe he could be meeting his crazy inspiration.”
“I’m expecting that too.”
The painter’s expression crumpled a lot.
“I can’t keep the company’s escort by my side any longer.”
“It has not been confirmed, and the cause is a little weak to kick it out just by predicting it. In addition, Sarah Sojour, the congressman’s disciple, is also caught.”
“But I can’t keep him around doing suspicious things.”
“So I’m going to have the enemy lion follow me tomorrow.”
The enemy messenger was the head of the executioners, and his strength was comparable to that of Janggoe or Haman.
The fireman thought for a moment and then shook his head.
“no. Let’s just ask. Bring it to me when you get back.”
“All right.”
It wasn’t until late in the evening that Eulji brought the shrine, but Jang-goe and Ok-ju were brought along as well, perhaps because he was uneasy about leaving the two of them alone.
The painter recognized Eulji’s intentions and nodded.
“Four escorts.”
“Yes, Mr. Hwa.”
“I heard from you, you go out at night these days. Who are you meeting?”
Sadang laughed bitterly when he saw Jang-goe and Ok-ju standing between himself and the fireman.
“Looks like you already know who I’m dating.”
“I’m guessing, but I’m not sure.”
“I’m not going to hide anything, I’ll tell you. I am meeting my teacher who stole your book.”
“Didn’t you cut ties with Master the other day when you said you were my escort?”
“I thought we had cut off our relationship, but it was a one-sided notification from me, so I decided to meet Master and tie the knot.”
“Then did you tie the knot?”
“no. After listening to Master’s meeting, Master made mistakes, but Congressman Hwa also found many suspicious things. That’s why I’m thinking about it these days.”
