Episode 1417 Even if it is meaningless. (2)
The court turned and walked away, biting its lip.
The wide Yangtze River came into his eyes, but there was no way that could break through this tight space.
“Dharma world!”
“yes! “Bangjang!”
“Tell the government and somehow spread this news to Sacheon! “Do whatever it takes!”
“Bar manager… But already…”
“I know!”
“⋯⋯.”
The legal world fell silent with a look of disgust at the shouts that erupted from the courtroom. The court, which was glaring at him, took a deep breath and opened its mouth again.
“Cheongseong and Ami may already be late, but if they hurry up and spread the news, Jeomchang may be able to escape. “Now is the time to grasp at straws!”
“Oh, I understand! “Bangjang!”
The legal world nodded vigorously.
While he was quickly preparing to send out a letter, Jong-li-hyung quietly came to the side of the court.
“Bangjang…”
The court looks back at Zhongli-hyung with cold eyes. Jong-ri-hyeong, who flinched at those eyes, musters up the courage to open his mouth again.
“Are you really not planning on going to Sacheon?”
“⋯⋯.”
“I know, manager. It’s already too late to go. But just like the manager said…”
“I guess you’re saying that if we run quickly, there might be a way to save them.”
“That’s what I’m saying. No matter how much the opponent is a defeated army and a factional alliance, aren’t they Qingseong and Army? There is no way they would be defeated so easily.”
A sigh escaped from the mouth of the court.
Even after being treated this way, Zhongli-hyung still couldn’t get rid of his bad habit of belittling Sa-pa.
Even after suffering so much.
Certainly, the name Cheongseong and Ami have is high. However, the capabilities of the defeated army they had to deal with were no longer comparable to that. At best, only a few survivors will survive. Even if we fix them, what difference will it make?
“Jangmun-in.”
“yes. “Bangjang.”
“It’s not that you don’t go, it’s that you can’t go.”
“yes? “What is that?”
Zhongli-hyung asked back with a blank face.
“Where do you think the Sapae-ryeon army will head after withdrawing from here?”
“That’s right. “Of course, why not head to Sichuan?”
“What if you don’t?”
“yes?”
“What are you going to do if they don’t head to Sichuan?”
A question appears in Zhongli-hyung’s eyes. For a moment, I had a hard time understanding what the court was saying.
After seeing Jong-ri’s reaction, the court shook his head and continued speaking.
“They have retreated from Nanjing, but have not yet headed to Sichuan. The same goes for the tip of the water pipe. They also withdrew from here, but they still occupy the Yangtze River.”
“⋯⋯Then?”
“yes.”
The court bowed its head gravely.
“If we rashly head to Sacheon, they will definitely push up to Hanam.”
“That kind of thing…”
Zhong Li-hyeong’s gaze turned to the Sapae-ryeon army, which was maintaining a distance.
Certainly, as the court said, the speed at which they retreated was noticeably reduced. So that you can change the direction at any time.
“Even though there is no market here?”
It was not the court that answered those words, but Pengyeop.
“There is no defeated army, but there are Heukgwibo, the remnants of the Maninbang who headed to Haenam, and small and medium-sized factions.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And with that level of power, it wouldn’t be a particularly difficult task to wipe out Hanam, which has become Muju communist territory.”
Zhongli-hyung looked at Pengyeop with a mesmerized expression.
“Well then…”
He mutters as if he finally understands the situation.
“Are you saying we know for sure that they are trampling on Sichuan, but we can’t get out of here?”
“⋯⋯.”
“What makes a situation like that happen? “What the hell…”
I felt like I was falling into an endless quagmire.
The trap set by Jang Il-so did not let them go easily. The price of stepping into the trap he had set was too great. Once your feet got stuck in the mud, no matter how hard you tried, they only dug deeper.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
The court chanted quietly. Unbearable anger rises on his face.
All of this happened because of Cheon Woo-maeng’s hasty moves. But in reality, it was the old faction that suffered because of that foolishness.
The destruction of Cheongseong and Army is certain, and even Jeomchang is in danger.
However, isn’t the damage suffered by Cheon Woo-maeng only the equivalent of the party family being trampled without its main force?
Of course, given the nature of the Tang family, where poison and memorization account for more than seventy percent of its power, the trampling of a family cannot be said to be a small matter, but the damage to one school cannot be compared to the destruction of three schools.
What made the court most painful was the fact that he had no choice but to watch the destruction of those three schools.
‘at last.’
Laughter flows from the mouth of the court.
‘We had to lose even though we did nothing wrong, and they gained relief even though they did something they shouldn’t have done.’
How on earth should he accept this incredible situation? As a result, since they benefited, should we say they were right?
“Then…”
Jong-ri-hyung asked with a pale face.
“Are you saying there’s nothing we can do? “The head of the room?”
After hearing those words, the court turns its head and looks at the Sapaeryeon army.
The court’s gaze, which had been looking at them for a while, eventually turned to Cheon Woo-maeng.
What you can do.
It’s something they can do…
“It does exist.”
The court’s eyes sank low.
For a moment, everyone fell silent. The atmosphere coming from the court made them take their breath away. The court’s mouth, which had been looking at Chen Yu-meng with indifferent eyes for a while, finally slowly opened.
“There’s something we can do.”
Hyeonjong, who had been silently looking at the old faction that was far away, turned his head helplessly.
‘It hurts.’
It was a word like a knife. Words that seem like they were made to hurt people. However, what made Hyeonjong even more depressed was that none of those words were particularly wrong.
Ultimately, it may have been their arrogance that caused this whole situation.
So I couldn’t blame them for not helping. All I can do is clutch my aching stomach.
“Don’t make that face. Lord Maeng.”
Hyeonjong turned his head towards the direction from which the voice was heard. Geumyangbaek, Haenam Jangmun, was looking at him with deep eyes.
“Long story…”
“If it weren’t for Cheon Woo-maeng, if there weren’t those who rushed to Haenam. “Not a single one of the Haenam disciples here would be alive.”
Geumyangbaek looked at his disciples and shook his head.
“Still, if the leader blames himself, wouldn’t we end up being survivors for no reason?”
“That wasn’t the intention. sorry. “A long writer.”
“no. just.”
Geumyangbaek speaks once again with strength.
“There would not be a single person in the world who would say that Cheon Woo-maeng’s intentions were wrong just because the results were not as desired.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And now is not the time to blame yourself. Shouldn’t we help Sichuan?”
Hyeonjong looked at Geumyangbaek with bewildered eyes.
His life was already in danger. Even those who have not studied martial arts can understand this. However, Geumyangbaek was discussing Sacheon, not his own condition.
“Jang Moon-in. “First of all, your body…”
“no.”
Geumyangbaek shakes his head.
“I have already lived enough. What is important now is not me, but Sacheon.”
“no. No matter what…”
“Because I know.”
Geumyangbaek looks at King Hyeonjong with stern eyes.
“Because I know very well what it feels like for those who are in desperate situations where no one can help them. We reached out to Cheon Woo-maeng. But right now, Sichuan is not helping anyone.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Go, Lord. We will help too. Even if it is just a meaningless struggle, shouldn’t there be someone who will struggle in the face of someone’s death?”
Hyeonjong’s head eventually nodded.
Know.
No matter what the situation is, in the end, what they have to do is decided. Even if it is meaningless, I have no choice but to run to Sacheon.
After compiling himself, Hyeonjong turns his head and looks at the heads of other sects.
“Now that the Gu faction is out there, we have to find a way to go to Sacheon even on our own. How…”
“It’s overwhelming.”
At that moment, Lim So-byeong decisively cut off Hyeonjong’s words.
“The Green Forest King.”
“I understand how you feel, but there is no way. Unless the old faction fights with us, it will be difficult to break through that defense line on our own. Even if we manage to break through, we will be attacked all the way to Sacheon, the damage will be taken as damage, and the moment we arrive in Sacheon, we will be annihilated by joint attacks from all directions.”
Cold words. But it was an extremely realistic statement. It was a word that sounded several times more frightening, especially to those who had already suffered from the same thing and came here.
“Then can’t we just cross the river?”
Lim So-byeong’s eyes turn cold at Namgung Do-wi’s words.
“Do you think they have completely retreated?”
“⋯⋯.”
At those words, Namgung Dowi turns his head and looks at Sapaeryeon. Those who were retreating suddenly stopped. While maintaining a distance where you can attack again at any time.
“Guy Jiamyeong must have already joined there. He will try to take as much time as possible. If we attempt a reckless crossing, we will definitely be rushed back. Then you get hit in the back.”
Those who saw the tip of the waterway still visible on the Yangtze River bit their lips.
“Then…”
“We can’t move until they leave.”
“Isn’t it possible! Are you saying we should just watch like this?”
Namgung Do-wi shouted in frustration, but Lim So-byeong did not even blink.
“They can’t attack first either. And if the Shaolin leader brings in support, including the opening, he will realize the disadvantage of the world and withdraw. “One day at best…”
“Then you’ll be late!”
bang!
The jogeol stepped on the floor, sending out strong energy waves in all directions. But Lim So-byeong just looked at everyone with a cold face.
“Reality is reality…”
“You don’t all have to go.”
Lim So-byeong turns his head at the voice that cuts off his words. The image of Baekcheon with a pale face appeared in his eyes.
“Everyone just has to go. “I can’t go.”
“stamp.”
“Please block the back. I will cross the river. “I will lead those who are quick on their feet and go to Sacheon.”
Lim So-byeong looks at Baek-cheon with an astonished expression.
What kind of nonsense is this with a face that looks like it’s about to fall into a coffin?
“That would be possible, right?”
Lim So-byeong looks at Baek-cheon with an uncontrollable anger. How far does this person have to go to let go of his instincts?
“how!”
“Is it possible or not?”
“⋯⋯.”
Baekcheon looks at Lim So-byeong with a stern face.
“You just have to say that. “Green Forest King.”
“⋯⋯.”
Several people approach and stand behind Baekcheon. With a face that says no matter how much I try to stop him, it’s no use.
The fact that the people standing behind them were the ones with the most serious injuries here made Lim So-byeong disgusted.
“⋯⋯Not possible.”
“Green Forest King!”
“Sacheon is not Haenam. You can’t do anything with just a few. “If you go, you’ll probably end up dead!”
“You have to try…”
“If you try too hard and it doesn’t work out, it won’t work!”
“⋯⋯.”
It was at that moment when Baekcheon bit his lip until it bled.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
An unpleasant sound was heard from not far away. Everyone turned their heads in surprise at the displeased sound that was clearly different from Hyeyeon’s voice.
Legal world.
He, the second-in-command of Shaolin, had already come close to them. It seemed like he didn’t notice because the conversation was so intense.
“Oh no?”
“Amitabha Buddha. “I would like to convey the words of the head of the room.”
“words?”
Everyone looks at the legal world with blank eyes. What else does the court have to say to them now?
“If you really want to go to Sacheon.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
The legal world spoke scathingly with deep eyes.
“Our old faction will do our best to stop the remnants of the Sa-Pae-ryeon here. “You select the elites and cross the river.”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“What are you saying now?”
“We will definitely protect your back. instead.”
A solemn voice flowed from the lips of the courtier.
“Even if it is already too late for Cheongseong and Ami, you must definitely save Jeomchang.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Can you do that?”
Hyeonjong’s face hardened.
