I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 218
Episode 218. Haomen, Ping’an County (1)
“Lord Wen, a suspicious person is hiding near the inn and observing Lord Wen.”
“Some strangers are asking shopkeepers and guests about you.”
The disciples of Hao Mun, who worked at the inn on the other side of the main road, informed Lee Dang Ji about the movements of the suspicious people.
Lee Dang-ji listened to the two people at intervals and had his people confirm it.
“Who the hell is going after me?”
If it had been the dignitaries who had hit their backs (scammers) up until now, they would have sent warriors straight away and arrested them without resorting to such cumbersome methods.
The men returned shortly after they had been released, one with a limp and the other with a blue bruised left eye and severe swelling.
“How did this happen?”
“Those who kept watch on Lord Moon and peeked behind them… They were so great masters that we couldn’t dare to stand against them.”
“What is it that you guys can’t stand against? Come to think of it…”
Lee Dang-ji realized that the weapons the two subordinates were carrying were nowhere to be seen.
“…What about the weapon?”
“It was smashed.”
“I was taken away.”
“They must have been great masters. Even though I met such masters, it is fortunate that I came back alive like this.”
“Because they saved me. And I told you to tell the Lord Moon these words.”
Lee Dang-ji felt that the unknown enemy was absurdly strong. I was nervous and swallowed dry saliva.
“What did you say?”
“I’ll watch him for now, but he said he would kill me if I did anything stupid.”
“You’re just watching? What are you watching?”
“…..”
“Can’t you guess who they are?”
“I have no idea.”
“Ah got it. For the time being, you guys run the inn. I will have to disguise myself as a different identity.”
“All right.”
After sending his men out, Lee Dang-ji thought deeply and guessed who was moving the masters of martial arts to pry behind him and keep an eye on him.
‘Who the hell are you? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t get a feel for it.’
The next day, Lee Dang-ji did not go to the fireman’s clothing room with So-hyang, but instead sent a subordinate. Then, he changed his appearance to a role-playing role and became a warrior of Giru, where Sohyang worked before.
* * *
“You guys got stepped on in reverse?”
Receiving the report from the two executioners, Eulji put on a slightly surprised expression.
“Yes, the crane that was prying after him might get caught, but I was also caught watching from behind.”
“You’re not an ordinary innkeeper.”
“It didn’t seem like a simple employment relationship, either at the inn’s shop or staying overnight. And it seemed like he learned a little bit of martial arts.”
“I guess I’ll have to dig up what it really is. less.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“You watch him yourself.”
“All right.”
When the enemy lion, the head of the executioners, left, the remaining two lions widened their eyes.
From their point of view, sending enemy lions to such a task was too much.
However, Eulji’s expression was still serious, as if he was putting more weight on this than other times. Because of this, the two lions did not say anything.

Lee Dang-ji, who disguised his identity as Giru’s gibang warrior named Cheonseolru, heard from his subordinates that the person who was following him had disappeared.
‘It’s not that it’s gone, it’s just that it’s hiding more secretly so that you guys can’t find it.’
Lee Dang-ji became more wary and even ordered his subordinates not to visit him for the time being, and continued to serve as a warrior.
During that time, when Sohyang returned to Cheonseolru after receiving treatment today, he secretly went into the back room where she was staying and asked questions.
The back room is where the toegis usually stay until they settle down before leaving the gibang, but now she was the only one there.
“It seems like you’ve been receiving treatment for seven days now, but is there any improvement?”
Sohyang looked around and confirmed that no one else had come in before opening her mouth.
“When I heard that other gisaengs got better, I actually dismissed it as a rumor…. Look how much better it is.”
Sohyang proudly removed her cotton thread and showed her face full of festering marks.
At one time, she was a gisaeng who made a name for herself in Pyeongan County, but now she has a scary face that might appear in a dream.
Lee Dang-ji hesitated for a moment without realizing it, but then took a closer look at her face.
“The bear marks are still there… but they’ve shrunk a bit.”
“Most of the pus inside is also gone.”
“Yeah, it seems that way. It definitely got better.”
“Yes, not only that, but it also cut open the stomach and cut out the rotten intestines, and made a cripple who had been limping for years walk. Where the hell did that name come from?”
Sohyang’s eyes were full of respect for the fireman.
Lee Dang-ji, who had been wary of the fireman until now, now knows more about the fireman than before, and his eyes are similar to hers.
“There is a saying that among those who work with Rep. Hwa, there are long-term governors called Sinui in the Changsha Province, and pyeonta who served as members of the city council at the imperial palace in the past. With very outstanding doctors gathering and treating, diseases that were known to be incurable until now are being cured.”
“Chief of Changsha Province or the Imperial Palace’s Municipal Council are among them? Oh~. I saw some pretty old lawmakers, I guess they are. But where did you get that information, Moonju-nim?”
“Where did you hear that? I heard it from the guests who came to drink at Tianseollu.”
“By the way, did you figure out the identity of the people who were following Moonju?”
So-hyang knew why Lee Dang-ji was serving as a gibang warrior here.
“I didn’t understand. Until now, I thought that no one in Pyeong’an County could escape our eyes… but it seems there is a sky above the sky.”
“What sky are we? It is the lowest river on earth.”
“The sun, moon and clouds in the sky shine on that river.”
“You’re talking poetically to show that you were a nobleman again.”
“Kuhm.”
“Anyway, they’re the ones who can avoid our attention… It’s kind of scary.”
“I can’t even sleep when I think of them these days.”
food.
For a moment, Sohyang smiled with a slightly funny expression.
“When I can’t sleep, a drink and a woman’s arms are the best. How is it? If you want, I can embrace Moon Lord as I wish.”
For a moment, Lee Dang-ji took a step back with a cold expression.
“Even as a farmer, don’t say such scary things.”
“It’s not a joke. It’s been so long since I’ve been held in a man’s arms…”
As if Sohyang was sincere, she suddenly unbuttoned her front skirt.
For a moment, there were festering marks here and there, but still, her plump and beautiful breasts were exposed.
“I’m crazy, I’ll leave.”
As Lee Dang-ji hurriedly disappeared, So-hyang made a strange expression.
Sohyang turned her head to look at the garden where bamboo trees were growing thickly.
“If spying on women’s breasts is not your hobby, stop showing up.”
Despite Sohyang’s confident words, the bamboo grove was silent.
“Well, I don’t have a beautiful body anymore, but I can show you all of them if you want.”
As Sohyang stood up and was about to take off her skirt, the bamboo thicket suddenly swayed.
“How did you know?”
And I couldn’t see a person, but I heard a voice.
“This back room is where I have been living for a long time. If a stranger enters the house, how can the owner not know?”
“Even a guy named Munju didn’t notice, but Togi, who retired from active duty, noticed… It doesn’t seem that the level of martial arts is high, but I can’t believe it.”
“Are you going to continue to hide and talk like that?”
“I am contemplating whether to kill you or not. If I show up, the chances of you surviving are reduced by that much.”
“If he tried to kill me, he seems like someone who could kill Moonju-nim at any time.”
“…..”
“Why did you come looking for an unsightly discharge like me? No, I asked the wrong question. Why are you following our lord?”
“You are so smart.”
As the tone of voice heard in the bamboo grove changed to a chill, Sohyang unknowingly opened her collar and covered her breasts.
“Ah, I guess I was presumptuous.”
“It is not an ordinary retreat. The same goes for that man named Munju… Are you guys Hao Mun by any chance?”
“It is the water that flows from the lowest point of the three worlds. But how did you find out our identities so easily?”
“Haomun’s gatekeeper… for now, let’s keep an eye on it a little longer.”
Pusssss…
For a moment, even though there was no wind, several bamboo trees swayed at once.
Sohyang noticed that Gosu, who had hidden his identity, was leaving.
‘It’s so terrifyingly scary!’
Sohyang looked at the swaying bamboo in the distance with heavy eyes.
A man in blue was leaping lightly like a cat without touching a high fence.
‘Why is someone like that watching over Moonlord? Is it the person who was caught by the monks in the inn? How the hell did the monks find such a monster?’
In an instant, my thoughts became complicated.
Most of the monks now assume that the Watcher has disappeared, but that was not the case at all.
‘Should I inform the lord of this? I don’t think Lord Moon will be able to shake off the author no matter what disguise he wears… What should I do? I don’t think the author will be silent if he informs about it carelessly. Should I just let them watch?’
* * *
“He is the lord of Haomen, Ping’an County?”
The painter looked at Eulji with a slightly absurd expression.
“yes.”
“Why is Haomen’s Wenju disguised as a courtesan brought in for treatment?”
“Why he did that is yet to be revealed. For now, we are just monitoring.”
“Haomun’s Wenjuu… How do the people of Haomen evaluate Wenju?”
“So far, it seems that he has been tricking numerous high officials to extort wealth and using the wealth to help Hao Mun’s followers. Because of that, it has a good reputation.”
“Anyone like that makes me wonder why he approached me.”
“If you want, you can drag me over and ask.”
“no. Let’s watch it for now. If there is a purpose, it will come out someday. They say it has a good reputation.”
The painter recalled once again the man who had brought a gisaeng who had been caught by a prostitute and paid for the treatment.
I don’t know what the relationship was, but even though I called for a lot of money, I didn’t look at her with regret.
‘Maybe I’ve been too wary of people since I was burned by a madman in Namhwa…’

Seong Ga-joo and Cheong Tae-soo came to Cheonseolru and enjoyed drinking, singing and dancing and chatting.
Qing Tae-soo, whose face was deadly when he first evacuated to Pyeong’an County, looked quite comfortable as if he had been relieved of a major worry.
“Heh heh…. Thanks to my brother-in-law, I can now stretch my legs and sleep. You did a great job.”
“What have I done? It’s all thanks to the magnanimity of Son’s family head than that of his father, Son Gyeon.”
“Who could have measured that measure? I measured it because he is my brother-in-law. I’ll buy the alcohol today, so let’s get drunk to our heart’s content.”
“I have my brother-in-law, my sister, and my nieces and nephews again…”
The head of the castle suddenly stopped talking and looked at the gibang warrior who brought the ginyeo from outside the gibang with a strange expression.
“Why?”
“That samurai… I’m familiar with him for some reason.”
