Episode 1351 It just happened that way and I ate it. (1)
Hong Dae-kwang, who was deep in thought, stuttered and continued.
“It is said that Jang Il-so has come out accompanied by Hong Gyeon and other elites in the current Sapae-ryeon. “I’m not sure where the destination is, but it’s roughly south.”
“Are you sure?”
Hong Dae-gwang nodded vigorously without answering. I could feel the urgency and tension just by looking at his face, as he was sweating profusely.
“Although our opening has resulted in the loss of most of Gangnam’s information sources, it is not to the extent that we cannot even monitor the headquarters of the Association of Socialist Affiliates. No, to be honest, I’m just barely watching… “Let’s go!”
Hong Dae-gwang spoke again.
“Anyway, this is the first time since the last Hangzhou Mahwa that Jang Isu has made a move himself! The opening is also crazy right now! Moreover, doesn’t the fact that they have mobilized the elites of Honggyeon and Maninbang mean that even if something is done, they will do it firmly?”
While listening to the story, Hyeonjong’s face remained frozen.
Opening still does not know the situation of Cheon Woo-maeng and his party. So, there is no choice but to make this interpretation. However, Jang Il-so’s goal was clear to King Hyeonjong, who knew the current situation of those who went to Haenam.
“The fact that the public knew about this news means that the old faction also knew about it.”
Hong Dae-gwang closed his mouth like a mute and nodded.
Of course, Gyeongjae is still part of the old faction, and it is natural that the information they obtain is passed on to the old faction. To put it bluntly, it is a situation where Hong Dae-gwang conveying this news to Cheon Woo-maeng could become a problem.
But even so, Hong Dae-gwang couldn’t help but feel like he was committing a crime whenever he said something like this in front of Hyeonjong.
Hyeonjong seemed to understand Hong Dae-gwang’s feelings and gave him a deep hug.
“Thank you. “It must have been difficult to tell you the news.”
“Don’t do this, Lord!”
Hong Dae-gwang was frightened and threw up his arms.
“This is not something to be thanked for. And…thanks are only given to outsiders. Although my position is ambiguous as my affiliation is open, how could I be a volcano god…? “Can we become strangers to the Hwasan Sword Association?”
Hyeonjong quietly nodded. I’m just thankful because I know it’s not just empty words.
But now there was no time to leisurely express gratitude.
His eyes turned to the Yangtze River stretching beyond the manor’s wall. The Yangtze River visible in the distance is still dominated by fleets of water vessels.
It would be tempting to break through those gun formations and advance at once, but realistically, that is difficult. That’s why I don’t have any more time. We must move right now and cross the Yangtze River through a place where the magic power of the ditch cannot reach.
Hyeonjong said.
“Jangmun-in.”
“yes.”
“I don’t have time.”
“I will prepare to go out right now.”
“I’m sorry, Jang Mun-in.”
Unam shook his head resolutely.
“I don’t think Master is wrong at all.”
“⋯⋯.”
“If Hwasan’s disciples were isolated in Gangnam and Cheongmyeong was here, what would he have said?”
Hyeonjong’s face went blank for a moment. Looking at that expression, Unam smiled.
“Of course, without the slightest hesitation, he would have scolded me that I should go to Gangnam right away. Even if someone tried to stop me, I wouldn’t have listened, and if I couldn’t decide, I would have gone to Gangnam without hesitation, even if it was on my own. “Isn’t that right?”
“⋯⋯Long writer.”
“I’m not going to save them because they are. At least for a moment, they thought about whether this was the right choice. “If it were other guys, would you have even worried?”
Hyeonjong nodded slowly.
What Unam said is right. It would have been the same no matter who the people now were in danger.
“We are all disciples, children whom Hwasan must take care of. There is no need for hesitation or hesitation. “If you are not prepared to sacrifice a hundred lives to save one, the name of a sect is just a facade.”
Unam’s gaze turned to his disciples.
“Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right, Jang Mun-in!”
There is no cheering or shouting like usual. Only strong-willed voices burst out at once.
Hyunjong nodded, suppressing something that was rising in his chest at that moment.
“Okay, let’s go.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
Hyeonjong’s gaze turned to Tanggunak.
“Matriarch.”
But before he could speak, Tang Gunak shook his head.
“Don’t tell us to protect this place, Lord.”
He spoke clearly as if he already knew what Hyeonjong was going to say.
“My children are there too. “My children are more important than anyone else.”
“One…”
“But that is a secondary matter.”
A chill appeared on Tang Gunak’s face.
“For the sake of the party, you can always give up your child’s life. But as the head of the Tang family, there is one thing I can never give up.”
Tang Gunak’s face was extremely cold.
“Anyone who touches the blood of the Tang family will be made to pay the price. This is the law of the Tang family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is an iron rule of the Tang family that must be kept with blood. “That iron rule takes precedence over the existence of the party family.”
A bright blue life filled their eyes.
“Even if the volcano didn’t go, the Tang family would have crossed the river. So please don’t tell me to stay here.”
“Matriarch…”
You can tell just by looking at the face. There is no way to break the will of the party and military evil. It was the same thing that Tanggunak had endured until now because of the name Cheonwoomaeng.
“Certainly the laws of the Tang family are famous.”
The two people turned to the person who spoke when they heard a voice coming from behind.
“But my sense of obligation to that law is probably no greater than Namgung’s earnestness right now.”
“Elder Namgung.”
Namgungmyeong nodded heavily.
“Your family will not disappear just because you do not keep the law. But now in Nangong, the existence of So Family is bigger than the family itself.”
Namgungmyeong spoke with a cold face, as if he were wearing iron armor.
“It would have been best not to send it in the first place, but now that this is the case, I have no choice but to choose the next best option. Namgung’s next best option is to save Lord Soga, even if it means risking everyone’s lives. “There is no back.”
A frost-like chill flowed from Namgung-myeong. Next to him, Namgungdan also expressed his agreement with a solemn look on his face.
The Namgung family lost Emperor Namgung. It was impossible to lose even Nangung Dowi here.
“Namgoong will also go with you.”
Hwasan, Dangga, and Namgung family expressed their will.
“In that case, I will also go to the ice palace with you.”
“An elder…”
“We cannot lose the palace lord either. “Shouldn’t we at least add more strength to one clan?”
But at those words, Tanggunak firmly shook his head.
“Bingungung must protect this place.”
Then Song Won of the Bing Palace, who was watching the situation from the side, became angry.
“Why? Is it because we are not from here?”
“Song Yuan!”
Han Yi-myeong shouted in a voice like frost.
“What nonsense is that! “Are you saying something like that after clearly seeing how the Cheonwoomaeng people treat us?”
“⋯⋯.”
“If you say such nonsense one more time, I will not be the first to forgive you.”
Song Won lowered his head. Han Yi-myeong apologized to Tang Gunak on his behalf.
“sorry.”
“it’s okay. “I completely understand.”
In Bukhae Binggung’s view, Dangga was also from the same Jungwon, but in fact, Dangga was considered Gyeongwonsi in Jungwon for various reasons. So I knew their feelings well enough to get sick of them.
“There are two reasons for not bringing Binggung with us. One is because in the hot Gangnam area, it is difficult for bingungung people to use their ice balls to their full potential.”
“⋯⋯That⋯⋯.”
There is no way that no one can deny this. It is natural that the power of ice cold qigong decreases as you move to warmer regions.
Normally, I would have excitedly shouted that it doesn’t matter, but if the person I’m dealing with is Sapaelyeon, even those words don’t come out easily.
“Another reason is that if this place becomes Muju Communist, they will be able to pour all their power on us who have entered Gangnam. “In order for us to come back alive and set foot on this land again, we need a clan to keep them in check.”
Han Yi-myung gently bit his lip.
He also desperately wants to go and save the palace lord, but he is now a person who replaces the palace lord of the ice palace. Of course, practical issues must also be taken into consideration.
If someone has to watch your back, it has to be Bingungung. It is a clear fact that their current military power and power are lacking compared to other clans.
What made Han Yi-myeong hesitate more than anything was the concern that their joining might actually be a hindrance.
Hyeonjong, perhaps aware of such feelings, deeply suppressed Han Yi-myeong.
“We will definitely bring you Prince Seol. So, please do your part here.”
“⋯⋯Okay.”
In the end, Han Yi-myung took a step back.
This time, Tang Kunak’s gaze turned to Meng Xiao, who was silent.
“In the same sense, the Beast Palace must also be protected here.”
Meng Xiao’s eyes were colored with a complex light. He twitched his lips once and asked Tang Gunak in a slightly blunt tone.
“Do you think that the head of the house will not be able to show its strength in Gangnam?”
“Probably not. But… it is impossible to secretly cross the river with those wild beasts.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And if you need someone to guard your back, I think there is no one better than the palace lord. You will be able to respond as quickly as possible at any time. “If you are the lord of the palace, you can trust the Tang family and entrust your care to us.”
Meng Xiao shook his head as if he couldn’t stop him.
Those who say that Sichuan Party is vicious and selfish are all idiots. What part of this interest is selfish and spiteful?
“⋯⋯I will do so.”
With this, the people who will go to Gangnam have been decided.
Hwasan, Sacheondangga, and Namgungse.
Meng Xiao asked with a slightly worried face.
“Would just three sects be enough?”
“It may not be the three sects.”
“hmm?”
“No matter how much you try to stop the green forest, it won’t listen. “Nokchae people will try to follow even if they die.”
“hmm.”
Meng Xiao nodded as if he had a point. Without Lim So-byeong, Nokrim is a place that cannot be controlled even in the name of Cheon Woo-maeng. In that case, it will try to move according to its own will.
For Nokchae, who stayed by Lim So-byeong’s side even in times of crisis, the choice was as if it had been decided.
“Then now…”
“But you two can’t just head to Gangnam.”
Namgungmyeong said with a stern face.
“It will not be easy to cross the Yangtze River right away. “The Yangtze River is completely controlled by canals, and we don’t even have a boat to cross the river, right?”
“So we need to hurry and arrange a ship.”
“It’s not just that. Even if you cross the Yangtze River without damage, if you don’t know which way those who went from Gangnam to Haenam are taking to the north, it will be like looking for a needle in the desert.”
Tanggunak closed his mouth. It was difficult to refute it because it definitely made sense.
“Namgoong already got ahead of himself once and lost something he shouldn’t have lost. “You can’t make the same mistake twice.”
I couldn’t help but notice the heavy weight that those words carried.
The corners of Tang Kunak’s eyes trembled slightly. He pretends to be cool, but he too is excited right now. So much so that I missed something I would normally have thought about for granted.
“Then…”
“I know where they will come.”
Tanggunak’s gaze turned to King Hyeonjong. Hyeonjong continued speaking calmly.
“So, please just hurry up and finish preparing. “My cultivation is not that deep, so it is difficult to wait for a long time.”
Tanggunak and Namgungmyeong, who were staring at Hyeonjong in silence, nodded at the same time.
“I understand, Lord Maeng.”
“I will finish preparations right away.”
“please.”
Hyeonjong took a deep grip.
The two immediately led the disciples around them and ran to the living quarters where the remaining disciples were living. It was an urgent movement, as if it was a waste of time to even greet each other face to face.
Hyeonjong, who raised his head, also did not look at them. Before he knew it, his gaze was once again directed towards the far south.
‘Cheongmyeong… You guys…’
He soon closed his eyes tightly.
‘Just wait a little while. I’ll be there soon.’
I just desperately hoped and hoped that this voice would reach those who were tired.
