A leader of a group of porters on a delivery expedition who really wants to be a bodyguard but is stuck as the leader of the porters. He was killed when his group was robbed. At the last minute, he tries to stop a freight train that is on fire and is full of old artifacts.
He wasn’t dead after all. When he woke up, he was in the body of Escort Dragon’s third son, who owned the expedition. The best thing is that he doesn’t have lame legs like he did in the past, which hurt his career even though he is very skilled and knows a lot about martial arts.
But the problem is that waking up as the Escort Dragon’s third son is also hard because he is known as a trash child. The first problem was finally solved: her boyfriend wanted to break up with her and marry her sister.
Then, he worked on his martial arts skills. Because of what he knew from his past life, this went smoothly as well. Even the Escort Dragon, who was his father, gave him a special dagger (knife).
In addition, he took the undergraduate exam in a nearby city and got first place. This was something he knew from when he used to organize and keep track of the expedition’s goods. Escort Dragon was, of course, shocked, and he hoped that his youngest son would keep studying in the royal capital so he could become an official.
But he wants to be an escort soldier more than anything else, even though he will still take the test in the capital.
During the time he had to wait for the test, he used a trick to become a bodyguard on an expedition. The girl from the Jaegal clan who was interested in what he could do and dressed as a boy to join the expedition.
Long story short, he managed to become the temporary leader of an expedition that started out with only a low-ranking soldier. With a bag of liquor as a symbol, because only the leader is allowed to drink or share alcohol with others on the trip.
When he got to the riverbank on the edge of the forest, he found the robbers’ base. They have made a deal with Escort Dragon to work together, so they only need to pay with a bag of money.
The group also set up tents and slept at the robbers’ headquarters because it was getting late. It was common for escort soldiers and robbers to fight each other in duels. Most of the time, one of the escort soldiers will step up and choose an opponent who is seen as weak.
It turned out that the third son was the one who volunteered. He also seemed to have challenged the second strongest pirate, who was the vice-leader. And in the end, the third son was the winner. Everyone is happy because this fight is just for fun.
The next day, it turned out that the river water had not gone down. Since there was no bridge, the expedition could not cross it. The thieves suggested waiting a day until the water went down.
Several river robber ships showed up in the middle of the argument. The third son quickly answered and made three bags of money with all of the thugs’ money. The bag of money had to be brought by a girl from the Jaegal clan who was dressed as a boy.
The river robbers finally agreed to cross the group in exchange for two bags of money. The people who had been stealing from the forest before were angry and felt betrayed. But when the forest thieves used a diplomatic trick, they were forced to leave.
When it was hard to get horses and goods on the ship, it was because the wooden track that led to the ship was unstable and broke. The third son suggested that the thieves in the forest cut the planks for the track. The river robbers are, of course, prestige dong. But he finally gave in because the third son was the one who would talk to the forest thieves.
When they met the forest thieves, they were still angry, even though the third son’s great negotiating skills got them to agree. The third son gave him a bag of money and told him it came from a river robber who had stolen some of their food.
But it turned out that the thieves in the forest gave the money bag back, along with a poison prize. Because he thought the people on the expedition had made a promise.
That’s not wrong. The old log track will be turned into a bridge, which will get rid of the river robbers’ territory. It will also be easier to use on future trips.
This can’t be missed by the Jaegal girl, whose clan is full of strategists. Since she still has a bag of money and no one else knows about it, the girl in the next town she stops in demands a good meal and a nice place to stay.
