The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 143

"This is a bit disappointing."

Yuk Samcheon grumbled.

"I let you choose one each, and you're still dissatisfied?"

"It would have been nice if we had taken both, wouldn't it?"

It seemed Yuk Samcheon had wanted to monopolize both types of medicine.

"You're greedy."

"If you're not greedy, you shouldn't be a merchant."

That was true.

"But it's all over, so why did you come here?"

"I came because I wanted to see you."

He came because he wanted to see me, my foot. As if. People in that position are so busy with work they could die. But he says something like that? That means there's something else.

"It must be nice to be so free. I'm so busy I could die."

Yuk Samcheon smiled a little awkwardly. Then he couldn't get to the main point and hesitated a little. Seeing him like that, it seemed there was something. And it probably wasn't an ordinary serious matter.

"I'm busy. Tell me quickly."

"Heh heh. That... the food."

"What about the food?"

Yuk Samcheon, even after bringing it up, hesitated for a moment. Then, when Mok Wigun urged him again, he finally confessed.

"It seems it will be difficult to get the food I promised you."

"You said you were confident, didn't you? I think you said you would bring not only the payment for the herbs but also more than I could buy."

"I did. But the situation suddenly changed."

Yuk Samcheon said there were signs of war recently. That was a story Mok Wigun had also heard.

"So everyone is in a frenzy to gather food."

"I suppose so. To wage war, you need a lot of military provisions."

Things were flowing strangely. Everything in the world is connected. So a small thing can bring about a huge change. But I refuse anything that harms me. Mok Wigun told him to explain the situation in more detail.

"So how much have you secured?"

"I've almost filled the payment for the herbs. But more than that will be difficult."

Even if it's just the amount of the herb payment, it's an enormous amount. He thought that was enough for now.

"Then it's no big deal. I'll just take that much."

"Wait a little. I'm looking into it in all directions, so I'll be able to bring more."

Mok Wigun felt something was strange. He wondered if it was a matter to act like that over. This was something that wouldn't be a problem even if he didn't come.

'Is it because of his pride?'

Isn't he the number one merchant in the world? If such a person made a big boast and couldn't keep it, his pride would be greatly hurt. But to come all the way here and talk about it? Something was strange.

He also wondered if it was because he wanted him to meet his daughter. Because he had brought it up several times to somehow make them meet. But it didn't seem to be that either. Mok Wigun said, looking at Yuk Samcheon straight in the eye.

"Is there nothing else?"

"Huh?"

At that, Yuk Samcheon stealthily avoided his eyes. Ah. There's something more. And a serious matter at that. When the world's Yuk Samcheon shows such a side, it's never a light matter.

"Tell me quickly. I told you I'm busy."

It was true. He had to leave for Mount Wudang. Everyone was waiting outside. So he used that as an excuse to urge him. But Yuk Samcheon still beat around the bush.

"Well... you said you were building a new manor, and it probably won't be that far from Chang'an."

"I suppose so."

"So I moved the secured food to this area. But while moving it, it was..."

Haa. This is the main point.

"It was stolen, wasn't it? Who was it?"

There are many who need food. When they see a lot of food, everyone's eyes will turn. But Yuk Samcheon would have solved it if it were an ordinary matter. But the fact that he couldn't and was hesitating like this meant that he couldn't do anything about it.

"Heh heh... He's a person who just won't listen to reason..."

"If you're not going to talk, I'm leaving."

"No. No. There's a person named Ham Seopyo. He's a bandit, but a rather unusual bandit."

He said he was a person who had built up a considerable force in the Seohyeop area. He had a thousand soldiers, and the number of people who followed him was enormous.

"Is that so? It's not easy for a bandit to gain such popularity."

It seemed he was not an ordinary bandit.

"What should I say. Should I say he's upright? Anyway, they say he's a rather unusual guy. Perhaps because of that, he has gained a lot of popularity in the area."

"An upright bandit. Those are words that don't go together..."

"That's what I'm saying. Besides, his force is quite large, so even the government troops can't do anything. It seems they would have to raise a large-scale army to be able to subjugate him..."

If it's a scale that the local government troops can't do anything about, it's enormous. And it would be difficult for an army to come and subjugate him.

Seohyeop is not far from here. Originally, it was the imperial family's territory, so the imperial family should have taken action, but since they had a falling out with the general's manor, their power doesn't reach this far. And it's also ambiguous for the general's manor to step in.

'Since you don't know what will happen and when, it won't be easy to move troops.'

The area from Chang'an to Luoyang and Kaifeng is a very important place. It is a granary, and it is also an important point for trade. Besides, it is also a very important strategic point militarily. That means it is a place that everyone is aiming for.

"If you give me a little time, I'll try to do something."

"Didn't you come because you thought it would be difficult to do that?"

"There's a bit of that, but still, who am I? I'm Yuk Samcheon."

Mok Wigun raised his head and closed his eyes. A sigh came out on its own.

"There's not a single quiet day."

Mok Wigun lowered his head and opened his eyes. In the meantime, he had organized his thoughts and made a decision.

"Let's go. I can't sleep if someone takes my stuff."

"Will you be okay? Those guys are not ordinary."

"Same here, so that's good. It will be very interesting to meet them."

Mok Wigun stood up from his seat without waiting for an answer.

'How dare you touch my things?'

It was an absolutely unforgivable thing. Mok Wigun went outside and said to Dan Bulseok.

"Tell all the Light Wind Unit in Chang'an to come to the Seohyeop area quickly."

The opponent was a force that even the government troops couldn't do anything about. In that case, it was a very good thing. He called all the members from the Folding Snow Valley to check if they had been training well. And he said to Pung Chosan.

"I have something to do for a moment, so go on ahead. I'll solve it quickly and go."

"Alright."

And so, Mok Wigun separated from his group and headed for Seohyeop. Yuk Samcheon, Pyon Juksu, and the Light Wind Unit followed him.

* * *

"Isn't that an army?"

Mok Wigun was surprised to see the person named Ham Seopyo and his subordinates. Their movements were disciplined, and their equipment was all well-maintained. Just by looking at their movements, he could tell how well-trained they were.

All the weapons were shining. Anyone who has experienced the army would know, but weapons get dirty quickly. But for them to be so clean and shiny meant that they thoroughly maintained them on a regular basis.

"Amazing. If my subordinates were at that level, I would have no worries."

Zhong Entai said. He had followed Mok Wigun, saying he had more to talk about. The scholar and the warriors also came along, saying they would protect Mok Wigun.

Since Zhong Entai's warriors were so numerous, it seemed he didn't have to come, but he insisted on going together and followed.

"It must be nice. To have such leisure."

"They'll take care of things over there. Aren't I doing something more important than that?"

Zhong Entai said calmly. Now is a time of change, so it's important to grasp how the world is turning.

"Isn't now a time when dealing with external things is more important than internal things? That's why I'm here."

Anyway, the guys in high positions are good at talking. Among the warriors guarding him, there was one who was dissatisfied with not going back and continuing to follow Mok Wigun. But Zhong Entai acted without caring.

"Anyway, I know that the guy named Ham Seopyo is not ordinary. What are you going to do now? It seems it won't be easy to deal with him."

Zhong Entai looked at Mok Wigun with a very interested expression.

"I'll have to meet him first."

"Ho ho. Wouldn't it be a headache if you get caught then?"

"I'm good enough to get my own body out, so that won't happen."

"The martial world and the army are different. You have to be careful."

Mok Wigun chuckled.

'There's probably no one here who knows that better than me.'

Fighting a well-trained army is completely different from a confrontation in the martial world. But Mok Wigun was actually a person who was more familiar with the army. Because he had fought in wars for countless hours.

"The two of us will go and come back, so why don't you find a place to stay?"

"Young Master. How about taking more guards?"

The scholar said anxiously. But it would only be a burden.

"It's fine. It's more comfortable and safer for the two of us to go."

And so, Mok Wigun and Pyon Juksu headed for Ham Seopyo's camp.

"He's a bandit, but he's set it up like a military camp. But he's set up the formation well."

Pyon Juksu said, looking at Ham Seopyo's camp.

"He must be from the military. And his subordinates are also not ordinary."

Even when he was in the other world, he had seen numerous units. But there were not many units that gave the feeling of being as well-trained as Ham Seopyo's unit. Looking at Ham Seopyo's unit, he thought it was similar to the elite units of each kingdom.

"I'll have to see them fight to know, but it seems they'll be considerable."

"Well, you can tell just by looking at how well-maintained they are."

In terms of experience, Pyon Juksu was no less than Mok Wigun. He also had no disagreement that the unit in front of him was excellent.

"Stop!"

As the two approached, the soldiers shouted. It was disciplined and felt powerful.

"State your name, affiliation, and business."

"I am Mok Wigun of the Demon Dragon Manor. I came to find my food."

The soldiers were surprised. It was because they had also heard the names of the Demon Dragon Manor and Mok Wigun.

"Please wait a moment."

A soldier ran inside. In the meantime, the other soldiers did not let down their guard. At that sight, Mok Wigun thought that it was as he had expected.

And after a while, the soldier came and guided them inside.

"Please follow me."

And so, they headed for the large tent in the center. When they went inside, there was a man who looked to be in his mid to late thirties in the center. A sturdy build and a manly face. A person who just looked like a military man.

"I am Ham Seopyo. I've heard your name a lot. That you caught a giant monster."

He spoke bluntly, but it didn't feel bad. Was it because it felt like the opponent was being informal? It might be because he didn't feel any hostility. Anyway, he was a quite attractive person.

"If you have a chance to come to Chang'an, stop by the Demon Dragon Manor and have a look. You'll probably be terrified when you see the horn."

"The horn of the so-called great single-horned great serpent. I don't know if I'll have a chance to go to Chang'an, but if I do, I'll definitely stop by."

As Mok Wigun talked, he observed, and Ham Seopyo also seemed to have considerable martial arts. An expert above the level of a peak master.

"But you said you came to find food. What do you mean by that?"

"I heard you plundered Yuk Samcheon's food. That's my stuff. So give it back."
