Episode 1104 This kind of reward is worth receiving. (4)
Cheolpudeok.
The party flag collapsed and fell on the spot.
“Off…”
I was so exhausted that it was difficult to breathe properly. Dust was rushing in through my nose, but I didn’t even have the energy left to turn my head to the side.
“Tsk.”
Soon, the sound of Cheongmyeong clicking his tongue in extreme disapproval passed through my ears.
“If you fall because you are weak…”
That voice feels like it is piercing my ears and body.
“what? “Poison and memorization have to be handled delicately?”
“….”
“You started talking nonsense and fell asleep. If the poison flies on its own and the memorization stays still, does it even dance on its own? In the end, it is a poison, memorized, and used by people. “How are they going to use memorization when their hands are shaking due to lack of stamina?”
“Queu….”
“It’s not that you don’t need to train your physical strength because you are a delicate martial arts scholar. The more delicate a martial arts class you are, the better your physical strength should be. Dangga’s martial arts can be completely ruined with just a slight tremor. “I know that from the outside, so why don’t you people who use martial arts know that?”
Cheongmyeong looked around at the fallen people and turned around.
“Tomorrow, when the sun rises, we start again. “Anyone who shows up late will get kicked out.”
Finally, Dangpae caught a glimpse of Cheongmyeong’s back as he walked away and fell face down on the floor again. A voice of concern came from next to me.
“…older brother.”
“….”
“Brother… are you okay?”
“…Are you going to be okay?”
“….”
“Uh….”
Dangpae returned to the dorm with difficulty moving his legs.
I just wanted to wash my face and fall asleep right there, covered in dirt. What managed to stop that impulse was the sense of responsibility as the head of the Tang family.
No matter how hard it is, isn’t it possible for a human being of the size of a small head of a Sicheondang family to lie down on the floor of the training hall and sleep?
“…die, die.”
“Me too.”
“It’s a surprise!”
The party leader shouted in astonishment. Soon, I saw Danjan lying on the bed. The party members held their pounding hearts and made a fuss.
“What are you doing? “Without a word in someone else’s place!”
“Okay.”
Danjan stood up with difficulty. He also seemed to be having quite a hard time, as his arms were trembling as he rested on the bed.
“It’s no different.”
Danjan, who had begun, frowned sharply.
“My younger brothers and uncles are very dissatisfied.”
“….”
“It seems like it’s difficult for everyone to speak directly in front of the owner of the small house, but these days, whenever they get the time, they are pouring out criticism behind their backs.”
“Star…”
Dangpae sighed deeply.
“What kind of soil?”
“Well… we don’t know that we need this training, but… it looks really bad, doesn’t it?”
At Tang Zhan’s words, Tang Pai frowned silently. In fact, he also understands what Danjan is saying. Even if it is an inherently necessary training, there is a form that must be followed. It is definitely not a good look for them, who are members of the Four Heavenly Tang Gate, to roll on the floor following the instructions of the three great disciples of the Huashan Sect.
“It seems like your pride gets hurt every time you hear passers-by whispering. Especially your uncles.”
“hmm.”
“So…”
Danjan secretly looks at the party’s thoughts. It seemed like he didn’t come here of his own volition as he was just glancing at me. I guess he was pushed away by his uncles.
“Could you please tell the matriarch?”
“To the head of the family?”
“yes.”
Danjan nodded.
“Most of the training that the Cheongmyeong Dojo is currently practicing is something that the head of the family can also do, right? Of course, we understand that the head of the family is busy with official duties, but even so…”
“It is impossible.”
Before Tang Zan could finish speaking, the party leader cut off his horse. As if there was no room to think.
“It’s not worth mentioning, so don’t ever say something like that in front of me again.”
“older brother.”
“Even if I don’t tell you.”
“But…”
Dangpae shook his head resolutely.
In fact, it is not the head of a small household to forbid mention of certain matters. Listening to things that cannot be said to the solemn head of the family and relaying those details to the head of the family is also one of the jobs of the head of the small family.
But I had no intention of giving up on this matter.
“Are you doubting your father’s abilities now?”
“Is that possible? “I just…”
“Do you think that your father is just watching because he doesn’t understand the complaints of his family?”
“That’s…”
The party leader’s eyes narrowed.
“There is someone suitable for everything. “If my father thought that the Hwasan Sword Association was the right person for this job, all his family members would do was to follow what he said.”
Danjan nodded without saying a word. Refuting this statement would be challenging the authority of the head of the family. I don’t know what it is like in other places, but it was something unimaginable in Sichuan Danga.
After meeting the Cheongmyeong Dojang of the Hwasan Sword Association, he has become a lot worse, but from the beginning, the Poison King Tanggunak is a symbol of absolute majesty within the Tang family. Especially after disbanding the Senate and taking complete control of the party, no one dared deny its authority.
However, even though he nodded, it was clear from Danjan’s expression that he was still not convinced.
Seeing that scene, the party leader slowly tightened his mouth.
“Zan. “You don’t understand.”
“It’s not like that, brother.”
“Is such humble pride really that important?”
“…older brother?”
Dangpae looks at Dangjan with cold eyes.
“Did being pointed out in front of people and rolling on the dirt damage your family’s reputation? “Did your face get hot from running around following instructions from the Three Great Disciples of Hwasan?”
“…I…”
“There’s oil in the stomach.”
Danjan kept his mouth shut. The cold gaze shown by the party leader was making him unable to move.
“Self-esteem is not maintained by wearing nice clothes and showing off arrogantly. “Why do we feel shame when our clothes get dirty and our appearance becomes a little ridiculous, but we don’t feel shame when a volcano we once didn’t consider as an opponent overtakes us?”
Danjan couldn’t answer anything.
“Our family is the volcano’s number one ally.”
“Yes, brother. I know. So…”
“But this trip to Gangnam, the party could not accompany us. It wasn’t us who stayed by Hwasan’s side, but Namgung and Noklim. Do you understand what that means?”
“….”
“Of course, the head of the family could have come forward directly. But… Do you really think it was right for the head of the family to assist the Hwasan Sword Association and head to Gangnam? really?”
“That’s not it!”
“okay. That should never happen. Then I will ask. “What was the reason why the party failed to participate in the most important task of stopping the demonic bridge to Gangnam and protecting the central plain?”
“That’s right…”
This time, Danjan couldn’t answer. I knew the answer, but I didn’t have the courage to say it out loud. However, the party leader spoke firmly, as if pouring salt on a wound.
“It’s because you and I are weak.”
“….”
“No?”
“…you’re right.”
Danjan lowered his head.
Of course, the party elders could also have stepped forward. However, the talent that the Hwasan Sword Association wants is not just someone who is strong. He is able to coordinate hands and feet with his limbs.
If Tang Pei and Tang Zhan were as strong as Baekcheon, would Qingming really have left them behind and headed to Jiangnan? Probably not.
I was already feeling the loss and defeat. They couldn’t go to Gangnam together because they couldn’t trust them.
“After suffering that humiliation… your pride is hurt now? “Is that something a direct descendant of the Four Heavenly Tang Family would dare say?”
There was anger in his voice. Danjan couldn’t even dare to raise his bowed head. There was a lot of anger in his voice, but he couldn’t refute the words of the party leader.
“Even though Namgung Do-wi, the head of Namgung’s family, lost his father not long ago, he headed to Gangnam carrying the name of Namgung on his back. He already represents Namgoong’s name. But…”
A laugh escaped from the party leader’s mouth.
“My brother, who is the same age as him, is saying that rolling on the dirt in front of people is embarrassing and hurts his reputation. “Where on earth does this difference come from?”
“Brother…”
“Today, Namgung received the same training as us. However, they completed their training much earlier than us and came back in good shape. “You saw it too, right?”
“…yes.”
“After seeing that, those words really came out of his mouth.”
Tang Pae’s cold voice seemed to pierce Tang Zhan’s heart. It was unusual for a party leader to show such anger.
“Has your pride been hurt?”
“….”
“My pride is hurt too. But the reason my pride is hurt is not because of respect. The Four Thousand Danga of the World! And because I clearly saw with my own eyes that the warriors of Sacheondang were behind the other gates.”
The party clenched its teeth.
“Is there anything more shameful for a warrior than being weak?”
“Brother tongue. But isn’t the martial arts we use different from theirs? We are…”
“Shut up.”
The voice of the party leader gave me a chill.
“There is nothing wrong with what the Hwasan Sword Association said. We’ve always gotten away with it that way. If your skills are lacking, you can develop a stronger poison and create a more lethal memorization. okay. So has our party ever reached the top position in the world?”
Danjan was speechless.
“If you can’t learn anything from the person in front of you, it’s already over. You don’t have to come to training starting tomorrow. No, not just you, but everyone else who will be participating in the training, tell them to do so. “I will take responsibility.”
“Brother tongue.”
The party leader resolutely opened his mouth.
“But I will follow this practice until the end. Rolling on the floor is nothing. It doesn’t matter if you put mud in your mouth. I will definitely become stronger. “Even if I die, I will not listen to those who say that I, who someday become the head of the Tang family, am weaker than the So head of Namgung or Baekcheon of Hwasan.”
“….”
“Tell that. but!”
Tangpae wriggled his dark eyebrows and glared at Tangzan. It seemed like a glimpse of Tang military evil was visible on his face.
“If there is anyone who criticizes the Hwasan Swordsman Association for doing something that shouldn’t have been done and suffering, tell them that I, the head of the small family, will personally punish them without the head of the household stepping forward. “If a person with the last name Dang acts like an animal that knows no grace, then of course we will treat him like an animal.”
“….”
“Do you understand?”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
“good.”
“….”
“Even phlegm!”
Danjan went out with his head down. Dangpae, who was watching the scene, sighed as soon as the door closed.
I thought it might have been a bit excessive, but it was something that could not be helped. Now is the time for Danjan and others to know the reality.
“…It’s not easy.”
A long sigh flowed from his mouth once again.
“…Hmm.”
A low sound came out from Cheongmyeong’s mouth, who was lying on the eaves.
“Tsk.”
He lifted the bottle with an expression that seemed like he was annoyed by everything. But unfortunately, it had already run out a long time ago, so no matter how much I tried, not a single drop of alcohol fell.
“Tsk.”
It was when I was trying to get up with a bitter taste in my mouth.
“It’s here.”
“Eh?”
Cheongmyeong turned his head when he suddenly heard a voice. Tanggunak suddenly appeared next to him, holding out a bottle of alcohol and smiling.
“…and everything like that.”
“Can I sit down?”
“sure.”
Tang Gunak sat down next to Cheongmyeong.
“Let’s drink together. “I want to drink a little today too.”
“It would be nice for me to drink with you, matriarch.”
“is it?”
Tang Gunak chuckled, picked up the bottle and took a sip. He then looked up at the night sky and opened his mouth.
“It must be hard for you too.”
Cheongmyeong looked at Tanggunak at the sudden sound.
