Chapter 251 – 252. The Hardened Lord Becomes a Trumpeter.

“What? You said you decided to get involved in the act?”

King Gyeonghwa asked the coachman with a puzzled expression.

“That’s right.”

The coachman answered her question with an apologetic expression.

“Why?”

Hearing his answer, the hard currency lord asked him as if he did not understand.

He said that his departure to the North Sea was not for tourism or travel.

It is a journey to find the treasure among the treasures of the North Sea called ice crystals.

But how can you get involved in a ticket you don’t even know about?

“There are several reasons.”

Hearing her words, the coachman continued with an apologetic face.

“First of all, it was because of the absence of a blooded horse.”

“Have you one blood?”

“Yes. Right after the monarch gave the order, he immediately went around all the horse markets in Beijing and searched for a horse with a Han blood, but he couldn’t find a horse with a Han blood anywhere.”

He lowered his eyes as if he was apologetic and continued.

“If there is no one-blooded horse, wouldn’t it be okay to lead other course horses?”

Hearing his words, the King Hwahwa asked him with a look of incomprehension.

If there is no one-blood horse, you can find another horse, so why insist on a one-blood horse?

“It’s because normal coursers can’t cross the North Sea. Horses other than one-blooded horses slow down and wait for the wind to stop when they are hit by the cold snow wind from the North Sea. They can’t cross properly.”
In response to her question, the coachman explained the reason for the need for a one-blooded horse.

“Is it really something you couldn’t find?”

“Even if they offered a higher price, no one would sell it.”

He spoke to her in her calm tone.

“Hmm”

Hearing his words, King Hwahwa spat out a quiet voice and fell into trouble.

It seemed that he was reluctant to accompany the flag.

In order to save the ice crystal, there could be something that had to be done alone.

However, if you get caught up in the flag, there are considerable restrictions on your actions.

You can’t do a proper search.

“Can’t we bring a few Hanblood horses from the imperial palace?”

After thinking about it, King Gyeonghwa looked at the coachman and opened his mouth.

“No.”

“How?”

“If you steal a blooded horse from the imperial palace, your actions may become suspicious.”

He spoke to the lord of hard currency in a firm tone.

What he said was true.

The Han-blood horse was a well-known horse.

If not one, but many, of such a one-blooded horse were stolen, she would be suspicious of her whereabouts, and she might find out that she left for the North Sea after falsely claiming to be closed.

That’s why she couldn’t steal the Hanhyeolma from the imperial palace.

“Don’t worry too much, Lord.”

As if he knew her concern, the coachman looked at her and continued her words.

“Accompanying the flag is not without its downsides.”

“Then what advantage do you have?”

As if she didn’t know, she asked the coachman.

There are great restrictions on action, but how can there be an advantage?

“For starters, we have a professional guide. You’ll probably be able to enter the North Sea faster than anyone else. Also, you won’t have to worry about getting lost in the North Sea, where the snowy wind blows and everything is white.”

The coachman looked at her with her twinkling eyes and opened her mouth.

Usually, in the case of the target country, professional guides are hired.

This is because the difference between having and not having a guide makes a difference in the safety and speed of walking.

In particular, in the case of the North Sea, the weather was so bad and only white snow spread, so the role of a guide was very important.

This is because all the shelters they had kept here and there became good shelters to escape the snowstorm.

Besides, it is easy to lose one’s sense of direction and get lost when looking at the white snow, but with a guide, such worries could be alleviated.

“And how comfortable would it be to do chores like lighting a fire or preparing meals if you paid extra?”

“Hmm”

Hearing the words of the coachman, Lord Gyeonghwa seemed to be not as bad as he thought to accompany him on the voyage.

It was because he thought that if he had a guide, he would get into the North Sea more quickly, and if he took care of the chores, neither he nor the coachman would feel uncomfortable.

But then she shook her head.

This is because there are enough disadvantages to offset all these advantages.

“There is a problem.”

King Gyeonghwa looked at the coachman with a calm gaze and continued her words.

“What’s the problem?”

“The purpose of our trip to the North Sea is not travel or tourism. It is a journey to find ice crystals. Obviously, we may need to act independently. However, if we are bound by tickets, we will be limited in our actions.

“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s only going as far as the North Sea, and we’re going separately after that.”

At her words, the coachman continued as if not to worry.

“Then, what about the Han-blooded horse?”

“I decided to borrow it from the target country.”

“Then, why not borrow a Hanhyeol horse from the beginning?”

Hearing the coachman’s words, the hard currency lord shouted in a fit of rage.

If you’re going to do it that way, wouldn’t it be better to borrow it from the target country in the first place?

But why do you want to accompany the ticket?

“They said it couldn’t be done. They said it was difficult to lend a blooded horse recklessly because most of the things that the midfield carry are bulky and heavy.”

In response to her question, the coachman continued with a puzzled look on his face.

“Then when you return to the central plains from the North Sea?”

“They said that the items they buy from the North Sea are not bulky or heavy.

The coachman began to explain step by step what he had heard from her chief of staff.

Usually, goods going from Central Plain to North Sea were bulky or heavy items such as pottery, weapons, silk, and hardwood.

That’s why it’s hard to lend a blood horse.

However, on the contrary, most of the items purchased from the North Sea were rare precious metals, alcohol, or crafts.

It had to be relatively small in volume compared to items brought from Jungwon.

That’s why he said that he would gladly lend a Hanhyeol horse if he gave him an extra money.

Of course, I had to give him enough money to buy a Hanhyeol horse in the name of a deposit.

“Hmm”

Hearing his words, the king of hard currency was deep in thought.

And soon, a satisfied smile crept across her lips.

It was not a bad condition.

No, on the contrary, it was a very good condition.

If you accept the slight inconvenience of going with others, a fairly comfortable trip to the North Sea is guaranteed.

“It’s not bad. No, rather, it seems like a good condition.”

She looked at her coachman and continued her words.

“He suffered.”

“No.”

Under her congratulations, the coachman continued his words as if he was sorry.

“Then is there anything else I need to prepare?”

She looked at the coachman and continued.

“Basic things will be prepared by the top. We will just rent them all in the form of a rental. So, it will be enough for the monarch to prepare only clothes.”

“Right.”

Hearing his words, King Hwahwa nodded his head and continued.

“And I think you should come up with a pseudonym.”

“Alias?”

“Because you can’t use the title ‘lord’ outside.”

“…”

Hearing his words, King Hwahwa fell into trouble.

It was something I had never thought of.

“You build it.”

“I…How am I!”

Hearing her words, the coachman was surprised and asked her.

“Because I’m really bad at coming up with a pseudonym like that.”

Looking at the coachman, King Gyeonghwa calmly continued.

“Hmm”

Hearing her words, the coachman was deep in thought.

Because she had no idea what name to give her.

Still, it’s a pseudonym for a hard currency lord, so how can you name it roughly?

The coachman raised his gaze and began examining the hardened monarch.

Her burning red hair and red hair and her dignified eyes, her sharp nose and red lips, and her luxurious golden suit surrounding her.

Her face was beyond beautiful.

Just like a goddess in mythology.

In particular, the reddish red hair and golden suit were in brilliant harmony.

‘Ah!’

Seeing this, the coachman spit out admiration as if he suddenly remembered something.

And then she slowly opened her mouth.

“How are you?

“Nephrite?”

“It is a red flower that blooms in summer.

The coachman looked at her with his dazed expression and continued her words.

When she saw her, what she thought of was a jacaranda that blooms in summer.

It was her jacaranda flower that was more orange than red, but when I saw her with her red hair and golden suit, I was reminded of the beauty of her jacaranda flower.

“Not bad.”

Hearing the coachman’s words, King Hwahwa said to him with a small smile.

He seemed to like the pseudonym he had made.

“Then would you like to make it a jacaranda?”

The coachman looked at the hard currency lord and continued.

“I will do that.”

“In that case, I will call you Lady Sohwa during the ceremony. Please forgive the rudeness.”

The coachman lowered her head as if sorry for her and said to her.

He said that he called her ruler, like the wife of her fisherman, because for some reason, I heard her apologies for not knowing.

“I don’t care.”

Hearing his words, King Hwahwa accepted the words calmly.

As long as I could completely hide my departure to the North Sea, I wouldn’t mind being treated like that.

“Thank you.”

The coachman expressed her gratitude to her.

It could definitely hurt my pride, but it was because I was grateful for being so generous.

“When is the departure?”

She asked, looking at the coachman.

“It’s three days from now.”

“It’s tight.”

Hearing the coachman’s answer, the hard currency lord slightly frowned.

Because I felt that it was more urgent than I thought.

There are still five days left until the date when they said they would enter the closure.

But it was delayed by two days.

I couldn’t help but feel it was tight.

“You should have said that you were in the closing house beforehand.”

Seeing such a hard currency lord, the coachman opened her mouth.

“No, to clear all doubts, you have to enter in front of everyone.”

At his words, the King of Coins shook his head and continued.

“Call the people tomorrow. I’ll show you how to enter the closed training center.”

“Is it possible?”

After answering her order, the coachman withdrew and went outside.

Soon, only the hard currency lord was left alone in the room.

“Large fire…Low fire…”

The hard currency lord who remained in the room repeated the name several times, as if feeling a significant aftertaste at the name Jacaranda.

************

“Zhang Xiaoxian, please try this! I picked it myself.”

One of the military men of Cheongseong handed Seonwoo some raspberries and continued.

“No. Eat mine first! I caught him myself.”

Then another Qingseong warrior next to him handed him the head of the fish and said,

“No! From this!”

“No, mine first!”

It wasn’t just them.

Numerous warriors of Cheongseong surrounded Seonwoo and began inviting everyone to eat.

Seonwoo put on a puzzled expression at the unexpected situation.

How did this happen?

The first start was Cheongsong.

He advised Seonwu, saying that he mixed the vegetables he had picked up nearby.

Impressed by his sincerity, Seon-wu quickly accepted and ate the greens he brought and thanked him.

That was the starting point

After that, every time we had a meal outside, the Qingcheng disciples started ardent food torture.

As soon as the wagon stopped, they jumped out and roamed around looking for something to eat.

Some gathered wild greens, while others picked fruits.

Others caught rabbits, and some even started running around the mountains to catch roe deer or wild boar.

In order to fully treat Seonwoo.

Seon-wu was taken aback by their excessive kindness and reached a difficult point.

Also, Seonwoo did not understand.

How could they treat themselves so favorably, who made the lucky man, their pride, so miserable?

It never occurred to me that they were doing favors with a false pretense.

It was because he was looking at himself with the puppy-like gaze that brought him food and wanted praise.

How can you say that those who treat you with such puppy-like eyes are pretense?

However, it was even more difficult because there was no pretense.

“From mine…!”

“No, starting with me…!’

“Get out of the way!”

“You’re the one to get out of the way!”

It’s because they couldn’t do favors and they were fighting among themselves.

Seonwoo felt his head hurt.

“Can’t you just stop!”

At that time, a loud shout was heard by the students of Qingcheng.

The disciples of Qingcheng kept their mouths shut and bowed their heads.

“Didn’t Jang So-hyeop feel uncomfortable!”

The one who shouted was the first swordsman in Cheongseong.
