Episode 1194 Why does that happen? (4)
At the very moment when a rumor faster than the wind struck Cheon Woo-maeng’s manor.
“Then Jang Moon-in. “I will leave.”
“Uhm, okay.”
Hwasan’s disciples, who had been discussing the court’s reaction and ways to deal with it in a place avoided by other monks, concluded the meeting.
Hyeonjong shook his head and opened his mouth.
“Let’s take some time to talk about the details and future direction.”
“Yes, I will do that.”
As Baekcheon stood up, all the other five swords also stood up.
“then.”
He nodded, then turned and left the room.
As soon as the door closed with a thud, Hyeonyoung opened her mouth urgently.
“No, Jang Mun-in!”
“…What are you trying to nag me about again?”
“Isn’t this too hasty?”
“Okay.”
A groaning sound came out of Hyeonjong’s mouth.
“Hey you bastard! In the end, didn’t everything turn out the way you wanted? “But why are you nagging me again?”
“no. “There was no talk of Baekcheon handing over Jangmunin’s position to him, right?”
Hyeonjong sighed deeply. That’s what being an elder is supposed to do, but since there are problems one way or the other, what beat should one dance to?
“Did you think it was me?”
“Then are you really saying that he suddenly said this without any discussion with Jang Mun-in?”
“That’s right.”
“Hehe…”
Hyeonyoung looked at the door Baekcheon left with, wondering, ‘Why are there such absurd people?’
“I heard kids these days are scary….”
“They’re not even kids. “If this place was Gangho or Saga, I would have already had children and started a family.”
“That’s true, but…”
Hyunyoung licked his lips bitterly.
I understand. Hyeonjong would have been in a situation he could not do anything about. It was impossible for King Hyeonjong to refuse the court’s proposal as long as he was the head of Hwasan.
But even so, I never thought that Jang Moon-in’s position would be passed over so easily.
It was none other than Hyeonyoung who warned the children not to mistake their accomplishments for their accomplishments, but even he could not have imagined that Hyeonjong would react in this way.
“…Anyway, even if you see a long-time person once in a while, there is no solution.”
Hyeonjong, who heard those words, muttered with a shy expression.
“It looks like it passed on to the kids.”
“It was always like that, originally!”
Hyeonjong, who was listening quietly at that time, smiled and said to Hyeonjong.
“I’m a little worried.”
“You mean Baekcheon?”
“Baekcheon is Baekcheon, but I really like Unam.”
“Uhm, that’s right. “Let’s talk about it separately with my Unam.”
“I think you should do so.”
Hyeonyoung grumbled and grumbled.
“Is Unam the problem now? “Baekcheon has become the most famous person in the world right now.”
“I’m not a Jangmun writer, but a Jangmun agent.”
“What is that? “What is the difference between Jang Mun-in and Jang Mun-dae?”
“It’s different. “It would be significantly less burdensome than being called a writer.”
Hyeonjong thought as he stared at the door Baekcheon left through.
‘It won’t be easy.’
I don’t know how others viewed this incident, but Hyeonjong, who lived as a long-time scholar in Hwasan, was well aware of the burden of that title.
It is a burden that one bears upon oneself. So you have to overcome it yourself.
However, I also knew that it was not an easy task, so I just hoped that the title of ‘Jangmun Assistant Manager’ would lighten the weight of the burden even a little.
“That… long text. So are you really going to hand over the long post? “Really?”
“Tsk.”
Hyeonjong frowned and glanced at Hyeonyoung.
“Why is this guy being so mean today?”
“No, it’s too sudden!”
“When did something unexpected happen to the volcano? “I mean, since that guy, Cheongmyeong, has he done anything leisurely and properly prepared?”
“It’s true that it’s a long story, but…”
Hyeonjong chuckled.
“why? “Are you feeling upset now that you’re resigning to the old man in the back room?”
“Oh my, what are you saying like that? “It’s something I’ve wanted even in my dreams.”
Hyeonyoung stuck her tongue out and waved her hand.
“Honestly, the volcano has now become too big for mountain villagers like us to handle. Thanks to the kids, we saw good things, ate good things, and got stronger, but did that have anything to do with our topic?”
“okay. yes.”
A light smile appeared on Hyeonjong’s face.
“It was going to happen anyway. “What difference will it make if it goes a little faster than expected?”
His voice was just calm. It seems like he has already accepted everything.
“It is those children who will live the volcano of the future. And it’s those children who have to deal with the volcano’s choices. In that case, it is right to let those children decide the direction of the volcano.”
“Okay.”
Hyeonyoung was depressed. The groaning sound contained both concern and understanding.
“We just have to watch from the back to make sure those kids don’t make too radical or extreme choices.”
“Isn’t that what we’ve been doing?”
“okay. Nothing will change. “It’s just that Baekcheon is the one who speaks first.”
Nothing has changed.
But a lot will change. That was the same thought of all three people here.
“Well done Jang Moon-in.”
Hyeonjong glanced at Hyeonjae’s words.
“It is not difficult to say that you trust me. But it’s not easy to put that into action. “The fact that Jang Moon-in just trusted and supported him without considering the situation will definitely be a great help to that child.”
“….”
“You were great.”
“Hmm.”
Hyeonjong cleared his throat as if embarrassed. The tips of the ears were slightly red.
“You’re doing all sorts of things.”
Hyeonjae smiled as he saw that.
‘You feel more comfortable.’
Hyeonjong’s tone of voice became noticeably lighter than before. That’s why I learned it again. What a huge burden he was struggling with all this time.
If Baekcheon had not stepped forward in time, Hyeonjong might have been crushed and collapsed without being able to overcome the burden and pressure.
‘I guess this is natural.’
Sometimes nature seems capricious, but in the end it goes where it needs to go.
The phenomenon was just about to nod its head.
“But…”
“Huh?”
Hyeonyoung looked at the door as if there was something strange about it.
“Isn’t he strangely silent?”
“That guy? who?”
“Oh, who is it? “The first one is foaming at the mouth and going on a rampage.”
“…Cheongmyeong?”
“yes. “That’s him.”
Phenomenon laughed softly.
“Even though he usually goes wild, doesn’t he become serious when it comes to deciding matters of clan affiliation?”
“Hmm.”
“Besides, even if he doesn’t say it, he seems to feel quite comfortable with Baekcheon. “Sometimes he is recognized as a military officer to some extent.”
Hyeonyoung tilted her head as if she was confused and asked Hyeonjong.
“Do you think so too, Jang Mun-in?”
“…You mean Cheongmyeong?”
“yes.”
“Well… the way I see it is just…”
“Just?”
“…I thought you were out of your mind?”
There was silence for a moment.
The three people looked at the door with extremely anxious eyes.
* * *
Jo Geol, who left the room, glanced at Baek Cheon’s back as he walked ahead of him and opened his mouth in a voice full of awkwardness.
“Well…”
“Hmm?”
“Keuhum!”
When Baek-cheon turned around and their eyes met, Jo Geol cleared his throat for no reason. Then he hinted again.
“Uh… Sasuk. Earlier, I…”
“What do you mean?”
Joe Geol couldn’t bear to continue speaking and scratched his head. He wanted to apologize for his behavior earlier.
“Well… I was a little short-thinking…”
“You bastard!”
But at that moment, Yoonjong shouted in an extremely stern voice. Jo Geol was startled and looked at Yoon Jong with wide eyes.
Yoonjong’s expression was unusual. Yunjong’s stern face, which he only saw when he made a huge mistake, was there.
“No, death penalty… what did I do wrong…”
“Don’t you know what your fault is?”
“yes?”
Yoonjong changed his teeth and shouted again.
“How dare you talk to Mr. Jang Moon like that! Will you come to your senses if you are punished for the sin of destroying a knight and being punished by being punished by being punished by being punished by being punished by being thrown into a penitentiary? “Hurry up and speak with proper courtesy again!”
After hearing those words, Jo Geol turned his head and looked at Baek Cheon.
The moment Baek-cheon saw the young expression on Jo-geol’s face, he felt chills without realizing it, flinched, and took a step back.
“Oh my gosh! “Long sentence!”
Jo Geol bowed down on the spot.
“Disciple! This disciple! I committed a mortal sin! The disciple is short-thinking and dares Director Jang Mun! I was talking nonsense! “Please pull out the disciple’s tongue and ask for his sin!”
“…do not do that.”
“Long sentence! Please let go of your anger. “I had no idea things would turn out like this!”
“Don’t do it…”
At that moment, Jogeol fell forward with a plop.
“The sin belongs only to the disciple, so please generously forgive the other executioners and hold the blame only on me. “Long sentence!”
“Hzmlrg….”
“Yes Inooom! “Didn’t Director Jang Moon tell you not to do it?”
“Oh my gosh! How dare I disobey Master Jang Mun’s orders! “If I have to crawl and die, I will die!”
“…Then please die… Please…”
At that moment, a strange voice came from next to Baekcheon.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
“…huh?”
Baekcheon turns his head. Yui Seol… Yui Seol was looking at me with an expressionless expression, trembling like never before.
“Long sentence…”
“….”
“Long sentence… ugh.”
Unable to hold back her laughter, she turned her head. At the same time, Baekcheon’s face cracked.
“…Samae.”
“Long story….”
“Yes.”
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
Wow… he had a knack for making people angry? I didn’t know this until now?
“lol. Congratulations Sasuk!”
Tang Soso clapped his hands with a big smile on his face. Baekcheon nodded his head hesitantly at the surprisingly ordinary and bright reaction.
“Okay, thank you….”
“Oh my! It’s a private residence! Look at my mind! Jangmun Sasuk…. Isn’t this this too? “Then what should I call you?”
“….”
“Yes? Private residence? “What should I call Sasuk now?”
The devil was written over Tang Soso’s face.
Baekcheon helplessly covered his face with both hands.
‘This is why I didn’t want to do it.’
There was no way this pack of bloodthirsty wildcats would just leave him alone, right? Although I stepped forward due to the circumstances, my stomach twisted as I thought about what I would experience from now on.
Hyeyeon, who was worse off then, opened her mouth.
“Amitabha Buddha. “It’s not something I can say as I’m not a disciple of Hwasan, but I think everyone’s teasing is excessive.”
“Monk Hye Hyeyeon!”
Baekcheon looked at Hyeyeon with an moved face. Yes, that person is still….
“No, Assistant Manager Jang Moon.”
“…yes?”
“As the laws of Gangho are strict, a leader of a sect should not show respect to me. From now on, I’ll just be Hyeyeon… big. Please call me… please. “Sigh!”
Hyeyeon quickly covered her mouth with one hand. My smooth head was trembling.
‘…I just hope it all goes away.’
Wouldn’t eliminating these things quickly be the best way for peace in Gangho? I think most people would agree?
“Hahaha! “It’s a long story!”
“Hey! “I can see with my own eyes that Sa-sook becomes a scholar.”
“The sect is back! Hey Cheongmyeong! Please say something… Huh? “Cheongmyeong?”
Only then did everyone’s eyes return to Cheongmyeong. And at the same time, he flinched and shook his shoulders.
“Why are you doing this, Cheongmyeong?”
“Are you okay?”
Cheongmyeong, whose color had faded to white, stood blankly with his mouth half open. It seems as if the soul, reduced to crumbs, is coming out of the open mouth.
“Dong….” “Dong?”
“Dong…Ryong….” “
….”
“Dong…Ryong is Jang Mun-in… and I am his student….” “
….”
“… I should die… I should just die… What am I supposed to do to stay alive until now and see this with my own eyes… I should just get out… Uh-huh-huh.”
“….”
“I have to die. Oh my… I should die.”
“That’s right, Sasuk?”
Baekcheon, holding his face, thought helplessly.
“Someone take that bastard away and come back.”
“Oh my! That’s right! Who said…”
“Die, you bastard!”
“Aaaahhh!”
In the end, Baekcheon’s eyes rolled back and he attacked Jo Geol.
The sounds of Jogeol’s screams and Cheongmyeong’s lamentations like chanting sorrowfully floated around the manor for a while.
