Episode 1200. How on earth did you survive this? (5)
“Look… Sogaju.”
Tanggunak took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Going to Haenam is more dangerous than you think. Even if your goal is to go unnoticed with only a small number of people.”
“I know, matriarch.”
“And yet, the head of the southern palace… are you actually the head of the family and are going to go to Haenam yourself?”
He raised his voice slightly as if saying Tanggunak was nonsense.
“It’s not because you really don’t know what will happen if something happens to you in Namgung’s current situation, right?”
It was a cold point, but Nangong Daowi just smiled calmly.
“Of course I know.”
“And yet you still want to go to Haenam?”
“yes.”
Tanggunak closed his eyes tightly after hearing the firm answer that did not show even a hint of hesitation.
‘Emperor Namgung is better.’
Emperor Namgung also had a lack of countermeasures, but that was more like an anger that came out because he couldn’t overcome his own emotions.
However, unlike Emperor Nangong, this person thinks about everything and comes to the same conclusion as Emperor Nangong in a situation where emotions are not involved.
If the process is different but the result is the same, wouldn’t it be easier to deal with the party with the wrong process?
“Sogaju…”
“Long sentence, sir.”
At that moment, Namgung Dowi turns his head and looks at Baekcheon.
“Yes. Lord Soga.”
“What do you plan to do, Master Jangmun? Since you have ascended to the position of Master Jangmun of Hwasan, will you stay in the rear and send your disciples to Haenam?”
Baekcheon shrugged his shoulders at those words.
“There is no such deputy in Hwasan. Jang Mun’s deputy in Hwasan is the one who takes action first. Of course, I will go to Haenam myself.”
At those words, Namgungdowi looks at Tanggunak as if asking to see something.
“That’s right.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Hwasan’s Deputy Jang Mun is going to Haenam in person, so why would Sogaju of Namgung give up his position for such an important position? Namgung may not be as good as Hwasan in terms of power, but at least he will not lose his cooperation.”
“No. I hope you don’t feel competitive about such useless things…”
“That’s not all. As the head of the family said, Namgung is not in a perfect state right now. Most of the people who represented Namgung in the past passed away in Maehwa Island. As a result, there are people in Namgung now who can represent Namgung with their names alone. “There are only a few left.”
“⋯⋯.”
“so.”
Namgung Dowi straightened his shoulders and opened his mouth.
“He is the person most directly involved in what the old faction did, a member of the Namgung family who has experienced how cruel the Sapaeryeon can be, and a person who can represent the position of the Namgung family, and will lead all missions successfully by harmonizing well with those who will head to Haenam. Someone who can.”
“⋯⋯.”
“I am the only person in Namgung who is qualified for that position.”
Tanggunak closed his mouth like a clam.
I tried to find something to refute, but I couldn’t think of anything to refute. Logically, it was almost perfect.
Therefore, Tanggunak had no choice but to say things that did not suit him normally.
“Look here, Sogaju.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
“As you know, your father and I were close friends. Although we couldn’t say we were friends, we didn’t have any particular difficulty sharing a drink with each other.”
“I know. If it weren’t for the situation you were in, you two would have been a little closer to each other.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Tanggunak takes a deep breath and exhales.
“So, shouldn’t you take my position into consideration as well? If something goes wrong during your trip to Haenam, how would I look at that friend’s face?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Nangung Dowi grinned.
“If it were the father I knew, there was no way he would blame me for going to Haenam. He would blame me for not going to Haenam. That’s the kind of person my father was.”
“⋯⋯.”
Tanggunak became mute.
When I thought about it, Emperor Nangong was really that kind of person.
“Well, isn’t there your uncle too!”
“My uncle, the wounds he received earlier were too deep to endure the long journey. How could I, as my nephew, ask such a favor to my injured uncle?”
“That…”
If Namgung-myeong heard it, he would say, ‘No? He would have immediately responded, ‘I’m fine?’, but unfortunately, Namgungmyeong was not here right now.
“Well then…”
The moment Tang Junye was trying to come up with something to say, Meng Xiao chuckled and opened his mouth.
“The head of the family must also be in an awkward position.”
At those words, Tanggunak sighed deeply.
In fact, Tanggunak was not someone who stopped someone or held them back for various reasons. Usually, this person has a tendency to be indifferent, calmly observing whatever is happening around them.
However, when I found myself in the position of presiding over Cheon Woo-maeng’s meeting, I realized that if he behaved the way he always did, it would not take more than three days for everyone to fall into hell.
‘Lord…’
It was a Tang military performance that made us painfully realize what Hyeonjong was doing as the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance.
Sometimes, I was frustrated with why they were so picky about everything when the kids would end up doing what they wanted.
‘These are the guys who will go all the way to the West Station if you don’t do something else.’
So even if it couldn’t change the outcome, the act of being different was meaningful in itself.
“Okay. I don’t think I’m going to change my mind. Of course I won’t. I get it for now.”
After taking a deep breath, Tang Gunak opened his mouth again.
“No. But the question I asked in the first place was whether you agreed with Hwasan’s opinion…”
“I will go to the ice palace myself!”
“⋯⋯.”
Tanggunak turned his head with soulless eyes. In his eyes, he saw Seol So-baek with a very flushed face.
“Of course, there are many people in Binggung who are greater and better than me. However, Binggung is not well-known in the central region, so no matter who goes, it will be difficult to make a clear impression.”
“⋯⋯No, the palace lord, for now⋯⋯.”
“So, I think it would be right for me to go to the Ice Palace myself. Although I am a weak person, I am serving as the head of the Ice Palace, so even if I am short on people, the position gives me persuasive power, right?”
At that moment, the faces of Binggung elders who were looking at Seol Sobaek with kind eyes appeared in Tanggunak’s mind.
– Our palace lord will become the greatest palace lord and rewrite the history of Bingung Palace.
‘There is no particular disagreement with that statement, but…’
Elders.
If you were going to do that, you shouldn’t have brought that child here… No, even if you brought him in, you should have at least kept him away from that watered-down human.
Tanggunak’s eyes turned to Cheongmyeong, who was happily looking at Seol Sobaek with eyes that said, ‘You’ve grown up well.’
That man is the source of all evil. All malice…
“Palace… what I asked was in agreement with Hwasan’s opinion…”
“I agree! Of course I agree! There is no difference of opinion.”
“No. That’s so hasty…”
“Binggung was able to rise again from an isolated situation with the help of the volcano. If the volcano had not come to the North Sea at that time, would we have been able to be here now?”
“⋯⋯.”
Tang Gunak quickly closed his mouth.
“A person is only a person if he knows duty. How can Binggung, who has risen again like that, turn a blind eye to those who are in the same situation?”
“That’s right. Of course it is.”
If someone else had said this, I would have immediately said, ‘Life is reality,’ but I couldn’t say it in front of Seol Sobaek.
Saying such words to that child gave him a sense of guilt, as if kicking away a growing bud.
It was a Tang military music that made me painfully realize that sometimes even a young age can become a weapon.
“That’s a good idea.”
“Palace lord!”
Meng Xiao said with a humble face.
“I’m just saying this while thinking of a way to persuade the elders, right?”
“Ah… that’s…”
When Xu Xiaobai looked embarrassed, Meng Xiao chuckled.
“As a fellow palace lord, let me give you some advice.”
“Yes! I will listen.”
“Sometimes you need to understand and take advantage of the fact that you are the lord of the palace. Sometimes consent is not important if it is something that must be done.”
“Ah…”
“When this is over, come to my quarters and I will tell you what ‘persuasion’ the princess is trying to do.”
“thank you.”
“What are you teaching your child?”
“If you are the lord of a palace, you can no longer be called a child, can you?”
Tang Gunak’s eyes wavered.
If we say otherwise, wouldn’t that be disrespecting the owner of the Ice Palace? From his perspective, it was something he could never put into words.
With a flushed face, Xue Xiaobai asks Meng Xiao whether he knows what it feels like to be a member of the Tang Dynasty.
“Then what about the palace lord? Are you going in person?”
“The Beast Palace will not be participating this time.”
“Why?”
“It’s because we are new foreigners.”
Meng So chuckles.
“Even though Cheonwoo-maeng doesn’t think so, the people of the Central Plains are still prejudiced against new foreigners. Even if two of those people come together and persuade them, it won’t leave a very good impression on them.”
“But Haenampa is also in a remote area.”
“That’s why I said you can go to the Ice Palace. But it’s not a good idea for both factions to go. This is a decision for Cheonwoo-maeng.”
“hmm.”
Seol So-baek nodded with a stern face.
“Besides, hasn’t the representative of the Beast Palace already been decided? He also plays a very important role.”
“Keeeeee!”
“This bastard is showing his teeth at people? Is he really going to come to his senses if he gets beaten up?”
Baek-ah starts screaming with his face straight as he has a fever, but when he hears Cheong-myeong’s voice, he becomes sullen again and scratches the floor.
Seol So-baek, who was staring blankly at the scene, nodded as if he understood.
“⋯⋯I see.”
Here, there are people who treat spirit creatures like people and people who really treat spirit creatures like people.
It’s the same thing, but the meaning is true… okay. It’s so different.
“Then the rest is…”
Everyone’s eyes turned to one place.
And the person who received that gaze immediately responded as if he had already prepared.
“Flying bugs! The bugs will go.”
Lim So-byeong’s face was desperate.
“In the first place, if the sapa chick goes there, it will only give a bad perception, but is there a good perception? It’s best to leave, but if you don’t like it, I’ll send a bug. He’s strong, so he’ll be good to use as a porter!”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s okay if that’s not the case. I will immediately create a detailed list of the ten spirits of the green forest and the elders of the green forest! Please choose any of them! No matter who you choose, I will send it to you right away…”
“Hey.”
“⋯⋯.”
Cheongmyeong says indifferently.
“Don’t talk nonsense, you come too.”
“Why is Sa Sapa in Haenam…”
“Ah. Okay, so come.”
“⋯⋯The perception will only get worse…”
“That’s enough, come.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Nokrim is for the King
of Nokrim.” The moment Lim So-byeong’s joining is decided against his will. It was.
