Episode 1372 You have to make it like that. (2)
Inside a carriage that is beyond luxury.
Jang Il-so, who was lying down with a drowsy face and enjoying the shaking, turned his head towards the window in the wall.
The world seen through a small window that could barely fit a person’s head was so narrow. Just by looking at the small scenery, I had no idea where I was moving or where I was.
But he didn’t feel stuffy at all.
It was fun just to imagine what kind of ripples a small stone thrown into a calm lake would cause.
Besides, he was also curious. How big of a ripple will the ripples eventually turn into?
“Cluck cluck.”
He laughed softly as if he was happy.
“Ryeonju.”
At that time, a cautious voice was heard from outside the carriage. Jang Il-so answered slowly.
“I’m listening.”
“A report has been received about the situation in Gangbuk.”
Jang Il-so’s long eyelashes twitched faintly.
“Please continue.”
“Both Gu File Bang and Cheon Woo Maeng are moving around busily as if they have figured out the situation, but they don’t seem to have followed us yet.”
“Hmm…”
“At least, it appears that Cheonwoo-maeng’s side is preparing to advance, but Gupailbang’s side says there is no significant movement yet. “It looks like there is a possibility that it will just sit like this…”
Jang Il-so laughed as if it was a bit absurd.
“This is where the lack of a pseudonym stands out.”
“⋯⋯I’m sorry.”
“It’s not about sitting down. It’s just slow. Those who claim to be big players are afraid of possible mistakes and wait until everything is clear.”
This is especially true in a court of law.
The court’s understanding of the old man had already ended during the Namgung Dynasty incident. He is a man who does not want the force he leads to suffer even the slightest loss. No, more accurately, it should be said that I am extremely wary of the responsibility falling back on me.
There is no way such a person would make a hasty move in a situation like this where everything is still ambiguous. Even if it means taking a little damage, I will wait until the situation becomes clearer. Then, even though he may incur a slightly greater loss, his own responsibility will be reduced.
There is nothing particularly new or strange about it.
This is a common characteristic of those who stiffen their necks and argue for respect and justification, and it is something that those who wear the facade of political faction have been doing it for granted until now.
Rather, it should be said that Hwasan and Cheon Woo-maeng, who responded like ghosts every time Jang Il-so made a move, were not befitting of a political faction.
“And… “Oh no.”
“Hmm?”
Jang Il-so’s eyes became interested in the slurred voice. Isn’t there really any new news to hear?
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“If it’s trivial, then it’s trivial news… I wonder if I should even report it to Yeonju…”
“I would like to speak in peace.”
“yes! “It is said that about 30 people have gone missing in the southern part of the country.”
“thirty?”
“yes. “It’s not really important news because the people who went missing are barely at the top level… but it’s hard to find the cause…”
The corner of Jang Il-so’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Where is it?”
“It’s near Muju. “It’s the south.”
“Muju?”
“yes! We wondered if it might have been done by Cheonwoo-Maeng who were moving north, but the place where the disappearance occurred was not a deserted place and was a bit far from the direction we had predicted, so there was no reason for them to show up and fight. There doesn’t seem to be any. “Maybe there is another cause.”
“Cluck cluck cluck.”
Jang Il-so, who had been quietly listening, laughed out loud. It wasn’t the usual ridiculous laughter that gave people goosebumps, but the kind of laughter that was so funny that you couldn’t hold it in.
“Hahahaha. Anyway!”
In the end, he smiled happily and swept his face with his long fingers. It was as if the frustration he felt with the court’s response had completely disappeared.
“He really is a child with a bad personality.”
“Should we send an investigation team…?”
“Leave me alone.”
Jang Il-so smiled softly and muttered to himself.
“It’s like an invitation to me. “It’s none of your business.”
Those incomprehensible words were met with only silence outside the carriage instead of any response.
Jang Il-so did not convey what he had figured out. There is no reason to do that, and if you say it, you won’t understand anyway, so it will only hurt your mouth.
He heard it in his ears.
‘I am here. ‘Don’t you want to come here to kill me?’
That’s the guy’s voice saying.
“Hahaha.”
Jang Il-so, who could not hold back his laughter, ended up laughing again.
“I have absolutely no hobby of being seduced by a man.”
Anyway, this time, Maninbang suffered damage because of the Cheonwoomaeng bastards. Of course, all the losses can be compensated by catching those who infiltrated Gangnam…
“So the calculation is not correct.”
Even if the Sapaeryun gains and Cheonwoomaeng suffers a great loss, the fisherman’s rule of the old faction cannot be stopped. From the Sapaeryun’s point of view, this means that even if they do not suffer any losses, they cannot do anything about the bad taste.
And that would be the same from the perspective of the Hwasan Sword Association, or Cheonwoomaeng. So, they must be trying to attract the old group somehow. From the perspective of the Hwasan Swordsman Association, the biggest bait that can move the old group is Jang Il-so and…
“Is it because you are the biggest bait that can move me? Tsk tsk tsk. “You’re too self-conscious.”
Jang Il-so smiled and looked out the window.
Times like this are fun.
The Hwasan Sword Association is trying to pull him out and make a move, and he is already moving according to the Hwasan Sword Association’s thoughts. We’ve never had a conversation about this, but we’re both thinking the same thing.
While dealing with guys who couldn’t even react properly to obvious moves, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the guy trying to grab me by my hair and shake me.
“You don’t have to urge me too much… I’m already doing it.”
From Jang Il-so’s point of view, there is no reason to watch that Gu Pail Bang cross the river and watch the fire. As a firework, the more firewood there is, the more brilliantly it burns.
A long finger tapped my white cheek.
“But Hwasan Sword Association…”
The corners of the blood-red mouth went up.
“You have to be careful. Because that flame could devour you.”
He tilted his head back and opened his mouth in a drowsy voice.
“Tell this to Surochae. “Move.”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon!”
“If old people who don’t have much time left to live are restless, we should at least force them to move.”
Jang Il-so slowly closed his eyes with an expression of triumph.

“Here’s a report!”
The person who burst in through the door threw down his entire body and raised his voice.
“There is news that the forces of the Sapae Alliance, including the defeated army, have reached Hwangsan Mountain!”
Then the court wiggled its eyebrows and asked back.
“Already to Huangshan Mountain?”
“yes! “That’s how openness has been communicated.”
“⋯⋯I understand.”
“yes.”
As the opened door closed, a sigh escaped the court’s mouth as if it had been waiting. Jong-ri-hyeong, the co-chief of staff, who had been silent and with a stiff expression on his face, opened his mouth.
“Isn’t Huangshan a place where you can reach Hefei directly if you head north?”
“⋯⋯Yes, that’s right.”
“How can this be like this…”
Zhongli-hyung asked restlessly with a bewildered look on his face.
“Then shouldn’t we do something too, boss?”
The court closed its eyes in silence.
‘How…’
Jong-li-hyung felt a sense of urgency regarding the situation at hand, but there was something else that was making the court seething.
‘I never thought Namgung’s joining Cheonwoomaeng would lead to this kind of result!’
Originally, this situation would never have happened. When they cross the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the land they must step on is Anhui. Originally, it was a place where the Namgung family was holding on like a royal family.
If Namgung, who was called the head of the five great families, had preserved his power, no matter how powerful the Sapaelyeon was, he would not have been able to easily invade Anhui.
Even if the Sapaeryeon is strong, if Namgung holds them back for just a moment, the shaman and Shaolin will be able to provide support in the meantime.
But the once strong wall has now collapsed. This is due to the absence of the Namgung family and the shaman’s visitation.
Even if it is a shaman, it is very fatal that the Namgung family is attached to Cheon Woo-maeng. If they had just protected Anhui instead of moving to the oral cavity, this would not have happened.
‘Emperor Nangong’s irrational numbers ultimately lead to this result.’
The court couldn’t help but sigh again.
At that time, the head of the Paeng family, Paeng Yeop, spoke.
“As Zhongli Jangmunren said, it would be better to respond first. “If we let them cross, the damage will be uncontrollable.”
The court slowly opened its closed eyes.
‘Defeated Jang Il-so.’
There are many people in the world, but is there anyone else who can make fun of people so painfully?
“What are you doing, Cheon Woo-meng?”
“It looks like they are planning to follow the defeated army and move east, but they have not set off yet.”
“…They’re uncharacteristically procrastinating.”
There was a hint of displeasure in the court’s voice. Jong-ri-hyung glanced at him.
“I heard that there is currently no Hwasan Sword Association in the Cheonwoo Alliance. Isn’t that why?”
The court unconsciously bit its lips.
Isn’t he truly a helpless fool? When it exists, you are so upset that it exists, but when it disappears, it is a pain in its own way.
It is possible to predict how Cheonwoo-maeng, who is in charge of the Hwasan Sword Association, will act. However, in the absence of the Hwasan Sword Association, Hyeonjong would be taking the lead, and even if such a Cheonwoomaeng was the court of the world, it was difficult to predict its course.
In the end, there was only one thing the court could say.
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
“Director! There is no time for that. “If they really go to Doha…”
“I know.”
The damage to the civilian population will inevitably be great, and Anhui will quickly fall into chaos.
“Just because I am Hinayana doesn’t mean I feel at ease. But… First of all, it’s not too late to move after seeing Cheon Woo-maeng move.”
A sigh escaped from Jong-ri-hyeong’s mouth.
The court may not be wrong. That is, unless the opponent is Jang Il-so.
Why do you still not realize that the moment Jang Il-so’s intentions become clear, something irreversible has already happened? Even after going through so much!
‘There is a degree of prudence.’
Jong-ri-hyeong bit his lips, thinking about something he couldn’t say in front of the court.
“Bar owner!”
bang!
At that time, the door burst open and someone ran inside.
“What’s going on?”
The court, sensing something had happened, widened its eyes.
“Those enemies… the river…!”
“What?”
He quickly got up and got up.
“Jang Il-so in Hwangsan Mountain crossed the river? “What does that mean?”
“That’s not it, it’s Surochae! “It’s a waterway!”
“What… what?”
The blood drained from the face of the person who rushed in to deliver the news.
“A fleet of ditch ships is attacking this place now!”
The court’s wrinkled face suddenly turned pale.
