Chapter 139
The Reason for Fighting Like the Dark Path and the White Path
The surrender declaration from Suwangchae came not from the drunken Lee Sin-pyo, but from the mouth of his second son, Lee Ung-pyo.
Lee Woong-pyo shot a look at the drunk Lee Shin-pyo, signaling him to keep quiet, and mouthed the words.
‘Brother, shh!’
Lee Woong-pyo first offered his gratitude to Dan Woo-sung.
“Brother, thank you.”
Only then did Dan Woo-sung lift the wine jar with one hand and drink from it with perfectly steady movements.
Then, Dan Wooseong, who had brought the wine jar, handed it to Lee Woong-pyo.
Even when Dan Woo-sung’s right arm and the height of the wine jar were level, his arm didn’t tremble at all.
Lee Woong-pyo thought Kwon Wang was gauging his martial prowess, so he took the wine jar and drank with one hand like Dan Woo-sung. Drinking was fine, but when he set it down again, his arm was trembling slightly.
Dan Woo-sung spoke as he had heard the names of the clan leaders from Gwang-shin at the Martial Arts Alliance before.
“Let’s hear your names.”
Lee Woong-pyo, having drunk the wine, replied.
“This drunken king here is Lee Sin-pyo. I am Lee Woong-pyo, the second of the Green Forest Five Tigers.”
The other brothers also drank before announcing their names in order of seniority.
Their names were Lee Wan-pyo, Lee Ri-pyo, and Lee Ja-pyo. Starting with Lee Ung-pyo, they were orphans taken in by the Green Forest King. They received their surname from the Green Forest King and became brothers thereafter. They were also the brothers who never betrayed King So, Lee Shin-pyo, until the very end.
