Episode 158. Carrots and sticks... use that only on horses (1)
“It’s been a while. If you came to the ecliptic, you should have found your older brother. feel dissapointed.”
The fireman laughed when Jojo appeared.
His grandfather, Jo-deung, had already gone for treatment, so he was expecting him to come this evening or tomorrow evening.
“Haha hyung-nim is sitting at such a high place, so I need to be able to find him.”
“Aren’t the people of Taewi Hwang Wan noticing that there are people around?”
“Well, there’s no such thing.”
“Taewi Hwang Wan and my grandfather have already finished the negotiations, so there is nothing to worry about.”
Jojo did not bother to mention the terms of the negotiation, and the painter did not bother to ask about it.
“There are things like that, but more than anything, I like treating former patients. I don’t know how my day goes when I treat patients.”
“You are still the same.”
“Your brother has been through a lot in the past.”
“Why aren’t you always on the battlefield? So, that credit was recognized. Didn’t you see that too? For a while, I lived soaked in blood.”
“It was. You are so amazing. That’s how you set up your major.”
“There doesn’t seem to be a patient anymore, so let’s go get a drink.”
“yes. I eat a good snack for the first time in a while. Take it off when it’s around your neck.”
“When something was put on my neck! Haha, it’s a pretty metaphorical expression, but it looks like you’ve been reading some poetry. Yes, I’ll peel it all off your neck today, until it’s stuck in your gut. let’s go.”
“Haha...”
Cao Cao took the fireman to Giru.
Kiru of the ecliptic is much more expensive than Giru of the world, so it is not an easy place to get in and out.
As it was the kiru of the imperial capital, the momentum of the gibang warriors was quite great, and there was a separate quiet and secret space where they could share secret conversations.
The fireman put on a slightly puzzled expression.
“I’m a little surprised that you brought me to a place like this.”
“Now that I’ve succeeded, I should visit a place like this at least once.”
As soon as the two of them sat down, a table was served, and gisaengs dressed as flowers appeared, dancing and singing with gold.
The painter drank the drink Jojo poured him and waited to hear what words would come out of his mouth.
Jojo, too, must have noticed that the painter was not drunk with alcohol or ginyeo after a while, and created a place where only the two of them could talk.
“Did you treat my grandfather today?”
“That is why you came to me. At first, I didn’t know he was my older brother’s grandfather, but I found out later.”
“They say he was treated in a slightly unusual way, but he said he had to go to the mountains.”
“Yes, because that was the only cure.”
“My grandfather also seemed to be quite satisfied with the treatment.”
“is it so? You seemed to have accumulated some complaints, but I must have felt the wrong way.”
“You didn’t like having to climb mountains, but it gave me better results. My grandfather is a person who values results.”
“I honestly thought I would give up halfway through the mountain.”
“My grandfather... I, my grandson, may seem a bit jumpy when I say this, but he is a really strong person. Even if it’s hard to climb the mountain, you’re the one who will do it with poison.”
“Well, that’s why you’ve become the real power of the imperial palace.”
“Kuhm~. But do you really have to climb the mountain like that every day?”
“Yes, so that if the disease recurs next time, it will pass quickly.”
“Well, if you, the owner of the title, are like that, then that would be it.”
“By the way, what do you want to say, why are you wasting time even after creating such a good place?”
“Ha~.”
Jojo, unable to answer the painter’s direct question straight away, drank a glass of wine and let out a short sigh.
“As you may have heard, you know that my grandfather is very greedy.”
“I have nothing to say. Please say no.”
“It was decided at once... Haa~ I got it. I’ll look into the atmosphere and tell my grandfather somehow... You should leave the ecliptic for a while.”
“I was thinking of leaving the imperial city after listening to my older brother. He has a government official, but he doesn’t have one, so it doesn’t mean much to me.”
“I really have no face to see you.”
The painter let out a long sigh as he looked at Jojo, who couldn’t even meet his eyes and drank from his glass.
‘It’s hard to live a good life. Those who live in the other world or this world do not change their power of abuse.....’
The fireman looked at Jojo quietly.
Having become a sworn brother, it seemed that the time had come to set a course for dealing with Cao Cao based on what the outcome would be.
* * *
“You look like an ugly bastard..... Didn’t you shout loudly that I was in your arms?”
“sorry.”
Jojo bowed his head in front of Grandpa Joe’s lamp.
He said it well in front of the fireman, but it was not easy when he stood in front of his grandfather.
“How can you do great things if you are not so harsh?”
“My grandfather may think lightly, but he is my will. It cannot be a sentence to enforce an agenda.”
“Is that righteousness more important than this old woman’s health?”
“It’s not like that. What in the world could be better than Grandpa’s health? Boo will also come running to Grandpa if he has any problems.”
“Tsk! who doesn’t know that? But how do you know the world? What can happen suddenly! That’s why I want to keep it by my side. In any case, you were just wasting time.”
“sorry.”
“done. Can Abby step in now?”
“.....”
Cao Deng turned his head to look at Yang Zhao Song.
“You go and make Hwata our family’s exclusive clothing.”
“All right. After the inauguration ceremony, I will call and talk to you right away.”
“Don’t let me down too.”
“Do not worry. You built your ego on Joe, you wouldn’t dare build it on me.”
cooong.
Then a heavy lump of iron fell onto the table.
Jo Deung and Jo Soong, who were having a conversation, looked at the lump of metal on the table.
The piece of iron was a breastplate that Jojo usually wore on his chest.
No matter how many arrows and swords he blocked on the battlefield, there were scratches everywhere and even some parts were split.
Just by looking at the breastplate, you could tell how fiercely Cao Cao fought on the battlefield.
In addition, Jo Deung and Jo Sung took off their breastplates and were able to see Jo Jo’s upper body exposed.
Upper body covered with numerous scars.
Cao Song frowned.
The breastplate was prepared by him when he said that his son was going to the battlefield. Suddenly taking it off and putting it down where she and her grandfather were watching, she suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
“Why are you taking off your breastplate now?”
Cao Cao was low and made a dignified sound, but Cao Cao was not intimidated at all. No, it was much more confident than before.
The moment he took off his breastplate, he felt a sense of freedom, breaking the chains that had been restraining him until now.
“Being an older brother, you can’t keep an agenda. What am I to my father and grandfather?”
“Yeah man! Do you dare to protest against your grandfather?”
Cao Song blushed as if he would hit Cao Cao right away, but he couldn’t bear it.
“My father said that after becoming adopted by my grandfather, he gave up his surname Hahu and took the surname Joe. And he said the reason wasn’t because of his success, but because he was so happy about his grandfather’s infidelity.”
