Episode 918 There is one crazy guy. (3)
Surochae’s enemies carrying military flags roared and clashed with the Changgung Sword Team.
“Those who begged for their lives from the enemy and survived are shamelessly showing their faces again! “It seems like these people from the political faction have no shame!”
“If it were me, I would bite my tongue and die!”
The enemies continued to laugh and ridicule the Namgung family as they faced off against the Changgung Swords. Although he was a swordsman standing here with a firm resolve, he couldn’t help but blush when he heard those words.
It is still vivid in their minds. The moment I survived on the Yangtze River was the moment I begged for my life from that wicked Sapa!
“Stay where you are!”
The moment I was about to apply too much force to my sword out of humiliation, a loud voice came from behind me.
Namgung Dowi, the head of the Namgung family, was running forward like a beam of light, holding the iron sword that was unique to the Namgung family.
“It is a shame to have made a mistake. But it is even more shameful to make a mistake and be caught up in it and not be able to make up for it! “Don’t be ashamed of being here, just be thankful that you can stand here!”
At those words, the Changgung Swordmaster’s eyes became sharp again like blades.
How could you forget? That shame. The misery of having to be discouraged in order to survive.
For the past three years, the Changgung Sword Master has swung his sword just for this moment. For the moment to make up for that humiliation and rebuild the spirit of the Namgung family!
“Die!”
At that time, a scissors sword, which was terrifying to look at, flew towards Namgung Dowi’s face. Nangung Dowi’s dark sword-face twitched for a moment.
Quaaaaa!
His sword, swung like a thunderbolt, cut the flying scimitar in two at once and stuck in the body of the enemy who had swung the sword.
“Oops!”
There was a moment of shock on the enemy’s face.
Quack!
The sword, which was pushed in with force, cut the enemy’s body in two in an instant. The torn body of the enemy bounced around, spraying red blood.
Even as blood poured down like rain, Nangong Daowi shouted without blinking.
“I will take the lead! “The Changgung Sword Team follows behind me!”
“insect!”
Nangung Dowi rushed forward at once.
There was no longer any trace of the past in his resolute face.
‘I am a worthless human being.’
I thought it was enough to catch up. He may be behind the Hwasan Sword Association now, but he is also a man from the Namgung family. I believed that if I worked hard and tried again, I would be able to stand in a place like that someday.
Because I had the confidence to work harder than anyone else and to persevere more patiently than anyone else.
So I thought that was enough.
Right now, all I can do is run a little faster thanks to the talent that Cheongmyeong has, so I thought that if I maintain my posture for the rest of my life, I will be able to stand in the same place as him someday.
But…
‘That’s not even funny.’
I know now. How stupid that idea was.
‘That’s not something you can do just because you’re strong.’
If Nangong Daowi was as strong as Cheongmyeong, would he have been able to face Jang Ilso there?
If he was that strong, would he have been able to fight alone in a place where everyone was silent for fear of their lives?
I can’t even say yes to this. This is impossible for Namgung Dowi.
In fact, he was frozen, unable to do anything, even when Cheongmyeong confronted Jang Il-so, when a fight broke out, and when Cheongmyeong’s fist was stuck in the face of shaman Jang Moon.
It was a shameful thing for the iron sword of the Namgung family, which was said to exist to protect morale.
‘You can’t be that kind of person just because you’re strong. ‘He is strong because he is that kind of person.’
Losing in martial arts can be excused. But there is no excuse for losing as a human being.
Whether you are strong or weak, you only have one life. Whether or not you can risk your life has nothing to do with inaction.
That day, Namgung Do-wi painfully realized how foolish a person he had been.
“I wouldn’t say I’m the strongest!”
This was something he said to the person watching behind him, and at the same time he said it to himself.
“You can be defeated with a sword! But at least don’t be defeated in spirit! “We are the Changcheon Namgung family!”
“insect!”
The Changgung Sword Unit immediately rushed towards the enemies. The sword, more resolute than ever, began slaughtering the enemies in an instant.
And at the forefront, Nangung Dowi’s sword was shining brighter than anyone else’s.
* * *
The corners of the court’s lips trembled. The eyes looking at the legal world were filled with shock and anger.
“…is that true?”
“Yes, Bangjang! “Now, we have received word that the head of the Namgung family, Emperor Namgung, has rushed to Gugang with the Changgung Sword Team.”
Zhao Kai glanced towards the door. One of the beggars who reported this to the court was unable to come into the room and was snooping around. The moment his eyes met with Zhao Gai, he nodded vigorously.
It meant that it was all true.
“Emperor Namgung. “It’s the Nangong Emperor…” Zhao
Kai, who was muttering softly, laughed. It was a look of disappointment rather than fun.
‘If it’s that guy’s personality… yes. It’s possible.’
When it comes to temperament, it is Emperor Nangong who is second to none in the world.
He must have already been seething from the humiliation he experienced at the Yangtze River Disaster three years ago, but now that news has reached his ears that Si Pei Lian has crossed the Yangtze River and set foot on the land of Jiangbei… Zhao Gai sighs
.
This was clearly a mistake in openness. Information by itself has no meaning. It is only meaningful if you can predict what will happen later based on that information.
They should have expected something like this to happen from the moment the Sapaeryun set foot on Gangbuk territory, but they only realized it too late when they heard the news that the Namgung family had moved.
‘No, no. ‘How many people in the world could have predicted something like that in that urgent situation?’
Since we were in a situation where we had to pay attention to everything that was happening all over the world, it was probably because we had no choice but to postpone the reaction of the clan that had gone into seclusion a little later.
The angry voice of the court was heard in Zhao Gai’s ears as he was soothing his bitter stomach by making excuses that were not excuses.
“What on earth was Gaju Namgoong thinking?! You went to the Yangtze River? “Do you think Namgung-se will fight against Sapae-ryeon alone?”
The court looked at the court with an expression of complete disbelief. I don’t know if yelling at him would have made any difference to the situation, but it was because I couldn’t handle the situation that had gotten out of his control and started to run wild.
‘I’m out of my mind.’
Where is that place where one sect went out on its own to attack it?
Oral. No, Maehwado Island is literally a powder keg. The attention of the entire powerhouse is concentrated, and the conflict of all forces is gathered together.
It is difficult to understand how an island that was nothing could become such an important place, but it was an undeniable fact that it had become a natural place where the pride and practicality of the Four Schools and the Old School collided.
But attacking such a place alone without any consultation?
If this incident leads to an all-out war between the Sapae-ryeon and the old faction, how on earth are they going to deal with the aftermath?
“What on earth were you thinking! how!”
Kagak!
The prayer beads in the court’s hand made a sharp sound and rubbed together. It feels like everything in the world is going as it should and out of his control.
“If this incident causes all the people in the world to fall into despair, the Namgung family will have to bear all the sins! “How can someone who is the head of a family and the head of five generations be so careless!”
Angry voices erupted one after another, but no one was able to open their mouths.
However, Zhao Kai could not help but sigh inwardly.
Careless?
okay. Maybe that’s right.
But at least in Gangho, such behavior is not considered imprudent.
‘They say I’m proud.’
Isn’t fighting against evil without caring for one’s own harm or personal interests the same thing as consensus?
The Namgung family did what those who use Jeong’s name emphasize so much. Nevertheless, if you start with criticism like this, it is like admitting that everything they have emphasized so far was in fact nothing more than a facade.
Zhao Kai, who could no longer bear to listen to the court’s criticism, opened his mouth.
“Bangjang.”
The court looked at Zhao Kai without even being able to remove the anger from his face.
“It is true that the Namgung family did something unexpected, but there is no point in blaming it now. “The important thing is from now on.”
He paused for a moment before speaking. So that the court can sort out the confusion. And he asked with an unwavering voice.
“What are you going to do now?”
This is a question that pierces the heart.
“The Namgung family opened the gun. Now you have to choose. “Are you going to help them and hit the water traps, or are you going to declare that this is an arbitrary action by the Namgung family and walk away?”
The court closed its eyes tightly.
If you think about common sense, it is right to support the Namgung family. But what if they came out to support the Namgung family and those Sapae-ryeon flock to the Yangtze River?
‘From then on, it really is all-out war.’
Once an all-out war breaks out, they cannot stop it with their power. Whether you win or lose, you are bound to suffer enormous damage.
“…Elder.”
As the court’s response was delayed, the legal community spoke first.
“Isn’t there a possibility that all of this is Jang Il-so’s plan?”
“Did you say it was a ruse?”
“Yes, a ruse. “Didn’t everyone get dragged into the Yangtze River three years ago with the movement of that ditch?”
Zhao Kai frowned slightly without realizing it. However, he erased his expression as if he had never done that before. Even though it wasn’t like that on the inside.
‘That’s because you were blinded by a desire for public fame and rushed to the Yangtze River without any consideration!’
There was a lot I wanted to say, but I had no choice but to hold back. This is Shaolin, and the people sitting in front are the head and elders of Shaolin.
“It’s probably not very likely.”
“Why? If it’s that Jangilso….”
“It’s a long explanation, but… I don’t think now is the time to waste time with words like that. In any case, it is highly likely that everything that is happening now is the Black Dragon King’s arbitrariness.”
At that moment, a laugh came out of the courtroom’s mouth.
“It’s arbitrary…”
This is ridiculous.
‘The two impatient writers are driving the situation to hell.’
The Black Dragon King and the Emperor Sword.
It cannot be denied that both are great men with a firm position in each force. However, that does not mean that the influence of those two people is great enough to shake up the situation in the midfield.
However, coincidentally, as a result of the two people’s dogmatism happening at the same time, both the old faction and the Sapae-ryeon are being drawn into an unwanted war at a time when they did not want it.
‘Is this what war was originally like?’
At least that wasn’t what the court thought. The war he knew was one in which leaders fought fiercely using the troops they had.
But the way the world works now is completely different from what he knows. All the horses move as they please. How on earth can we lead these people into an all-out war?
“I don’t know why you’re worried.”
At that time, Pengyeop frowned and said.
“I don’t like that the arrogant Namgung family did things as they please, but if the situation has already happened, the only way left is to support them.”
But Zhongli-hyung didn’t seem to agree with that idea.
“I think you need to calm down a little. If we rush to the Yangtze River now, Sapaeryeon other than Surochae will have no choice but to move as well. Then it becomes truly irreversible.”
“However, if we just watch and SPA takes the first step, it will be too late to apply. “The Namgung family will fall first.”
“I know. “I know, but it’s not something to do rashly.”
“How reckless is this!”
As the two people’s argument quickly caught fire, the courtroom’s faces turned dark.
Common sense dictates that the priority is to immediately support the Namgung family and oust Surochae. It’s not that difficult if Paengga and Co help.
But what if the Sapaeryun moves north and an all-out war breaks out?
Can the sects here really be able to deal with the Sapaeryeon? The Sapaeryeon led by Jang Il-so?
‘lack.’
If the nine factions and the five major families all came forward to support Shaolin, there would be no hesitation. But right now, it’s hard to handle that scam.
Even if they somehow win, they will have to watch as the Seungnyangs who were just watching the situation behind their backs are sneaking up on them.
The court was deep in thought and bit its lip.
‘What are you hesitating about?’
The shame is his, but death is everyone else’s. So, as a Buddhist, shouldn’t we naturally choose shame?
“Anyway…”
When he finally opened his mouth, everyone’s eyes fell on him. It seems as if his words still have power.
“Even if we rush to the Yangtze River right now, it will be too late. “By then, the settlement between Namgung and Surochae will have been resolved.”
“Hmm. That’s right.”
“If we do this, we will eventually have to prepare for what happens next.”
The court slowly stood up.
“Just give me the end of the day.”
“Did you say one day?”
Zhao Kai looks at the court as if he doesn’t understand. In this situation, what can you change in just one day?
“yes. One day is enough.”
“Excuse me, room manager. “What are you trying to do?”
“…I will go to Shaanxi.”
“Seoul seomseo? no way…?”
Everyone’s eyes widened. The court nodded quietly.
“yes.”
His eyes were unwavering and resolute.
“I must meet Lord Cheonwoo and the Hwasan Sword Association in person right away.”
