Chapter 13: The Price
Jae-ryeong folded the note twice and put it inside his robe, next to Seol's.
Then he went to find his sword, because the note said come alone and he was not a clever man.
Do-yun caught him at the stable.
"My lord, you're wearing your funeral face."
"I'm going to Hwangsan."
"Then I'm going to Hwangsan, forty paces behind you, looking at pots."
Jae-ryeong did not argue.
The teahouse on Willow Street had paper screens, a pond with three tired carp, and no other customers.
Every table was empty but one.
An old man sat at it in a plain black robe, pouring tea with a hand as steady as a stone.
He was thin and bald, with a wisp of white beard and a small green thorn stitched on each cuff.
He was not at all what Jae-ryeong had pictured.
He looked like someone's grandfather, the kind who keeps sweets in his sleeve.
"Lord Han," said Master Mo Cheol-ryang, and smiled. "Please. Sit."
Jae-ryeong sat with his back to the pond and his hand on his sword.
Mo set a cup in front of him.
"It's only tea," Mo said.
"Then you drink it."
Mo drank it without any hurry and poured another.
