Episode 1445. What should I do? (5)
The day dawned and those who had fallen asleep last night woke up one by one.
Although Sacheon is famous for its warmth, the morning in this field was unusually chilly. No, maybe it’s not the temperature that’s chilly, but rather their hearts as they greet this morning.
“What should I do now?”
“First, we need to prepare to leave. “I said I was going to the volcano.”
In a chaotic atmosphere, the party members who had made their beds looked around.
Not far from there, Hwasan’s disciples, with faces similar to those of the Tang family, had just woken up and were rubbing their faces and washing their faces.
“Ugh… “I thought your mouth was moving.”
Jo Geol was fed up.
In fact, camping in the field is not a particularly big deal to them. Because I had to lie down and sleep on the street following that cruel guy around, it was an everyday experience.
Nevertheless, this time, the chill and aching sensation in their bodies probably means that their bodies are so weak right now.
“But yesterday, the party members checked on my body.”
“Yes, death penalty. “They already said good things about me.”
“Um really? “What did you say?”
“You said that if you want to die young before you turn 30, you should continue living like you are now?”
⋯⋯Yoonjong shook his head.
In fact, none of the five swords were in good shape right now. I was in a situation where I needed to take some time to recuperate and recover my body. Especially…
“Are you okay Sasuk?”
Baekcheon glanced back at Yoonjong’s worried question.
“⋯⋯Your face is very pale.”
“My face is naturally white.”
“No, it’s not that, it’s really pale…”
“It’s so pale and white.”
“⋯⋯.”
Yoonjong was at a loss for words as he looked at Baekcheon with an expression on his face that seemed to ask, ‘Are you jealous?’ The corners of his mouth trembled. I think it would be better for this person to just die.
Yunjong turned his head and glanced at the people of the Tang family.
“It’s more about the atmosphere.”
“hmm.”
Baekcheon nodded at those words.
The vacancy of people is not immediately felt. They probably didn’t know until yesterday because they were in a state of panic. But now that I’ve had a night’s rest, I can feel it.
Those who used to live together face to face have now gone down a path of no return. And now those who survive must leave Sacheon and live in an unfamiliar place.
“I’m worried. “They are good…”
“I’m worried about everything.”
“⋯⋯Huh?”
Yunjong looked at Jo Geol with a puzzled look. Jo Geol’s face had a twisted expression on her stomach. Yoonjong sighed deeply.
“What are you complaining about again?”
“It’s not like the cat thinks about the mouse. Why is Huashan worried about the Tang family? “Do you think these noblemen are the kind of people who will immediately go bankrupt just because a few palaces have been burned?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Even now, the Tang family is probably in a better situation than Hwasan, so don’t worry about the death penalty.”
Yoonjong smiled bitterly. Of course, what Jo Geol said was not so wrong. In any case, the party has preserved its fighting power and will still have enormous influence.
However, the situation that Sacheondangga faces is not as simple as Jo Geol said. The important thing is that they have nothing left to lose.
Just as Hwasan, who lost the essence of his ancestors and martial arts, was driven to the brink of collapse, Sacheondangga will also experience the same thing. No matter how much party evil exists and there are people left who can fight.
It might be okay for now. However, as each generation passes, the downfall may come as quickly as a lie.
‘Maybe the person who will suffer the most right now is not the head of the family, but the head of the small family.’
Yunjong’s gaze turned to the party flag. He was helping the elderly with a look on his face that made it hard to tell what he was thinking.
You will have a lot to think about. If Yoonjong were in that position, his mind would have been so crowded with worries and burdens that he might have exploded.
“But where is the matriarch?”
“I know? “You haven’t seen me since a while ago?”
It was a time when Hwasan’s disciples were looking around for Tanggunak.
“Here he comes.”
I saw Tanggunak walking from a little distance away from the field.
Baekcheon let out a soft moan-like exclamation. This is because Tanggunak’s expression looked a little more relaxed than yesterday. Since he is such an expressionless person, it may just be Baekcheon’s feelings.
Tang Gunak approached the place where the Tang people were gathered and lightly gestured.
“Sogaju.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
As if he had guessed it, the party leader who approached Danggunak bowed his head.
“We will be ready to leave soon. “So that there are no problems…”
“no. “For now, everyone should stop what they are doing and gather everyone in one place.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
The party leader lifted his head with a slightly embarrassed expression. However, he soon responded as if he understood the intention of Tanggunak.
“yes. “We will gather the warriors.”
“I definitely said ‘everyone.’”
“⋯⋯Matriarch?”
Tanggunak said with an expressionless face.
“Everyone with the Tang surname. “Assemble everyone who can speak and express opinions, leaving no stone unturned.”
The party was unable to readily answer. It was not because he did not understand Tanggunak’s instructions. As far as he knows, this is unprecedented in the party.
Although Sacheondanga is called by one name, there is a strict distinction within it. Each had a vision that they had to hide from each other, and therefore it was extremely rare for people playing different roles to come together in one place.
But it’s not even about gathering each person in charge, but gathering everyone.
“Don’t you understand yet?”
“Oh no. I understand, matriarch. “We will implement it immediately.”
The party leader nodded vigorously.
Just like that, everyone with the Tang family name sat together in one place.
And Hwasan’s disciples watched the scene from a considerable distance away. The party members never specifically asked them to leave their seats, but for some reason, they felt like they had to.
“It’s kind of a strange sight.”
“I see.”
Sacheon’s prestigious Sacheondangga. It would not be easy to see people from a prestigious family, who are said to have secured at least the second-highest rank in the five generations, all sitting together in a barren field like this.
“But… will it be okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“This isn’t a very safe place, is it?”
At Yunjong’s words, Baekcheon glanced towards the south.
Although the Ten Thousand Gangs have certainly retreated, there is no guarantee that they will not attack again. Especially if it’s Jang Il-so, he might be plotting a trick they can’t even imagine at this very moment.
“It’s not like the head of the family doesn’t know that.”
“That’s true, but…”
“It’s probably one of two things. “You must be confident that the Ten Thousand Gangs will never attack again…”
Baekcheon’s gaze fell on Tanggunak, who was sitting in the center of the Tang family.
“Either you think that the issues that need to be addressed here and now are more important than the threat of everyone.”
“⋯⋯I guess it’s the latter.”
Yunjong nodded as if he understood and looked at Tanggunak.
“I understand, but if we talk like that in a place like this, will we be able to find a solution quickly?”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
At that time, a strangely accusatory clicking sound was heard. Yunjong turned his head to where the sound came from. Before he knew it, the devil had approached him and was looking at him with the face of a hundred-year-old man.
“How could someone so young have been prevented from doing this?”
“More than you…”
And I am the death penalty, Cheongmyeong. Although it is surprising.
“Finding a solution isn’t important. “The important thing is to try to find a solution.”
“huh? “What difference does it make?”
“If you must come to the right conclusion on the spot, the person who will speak will be decided.”
“Ah…”
Yunjong nodded as if he understood what I meant. Because he also has that experience. The experience of not being able to open my mouth even if I had thoughts.
“The important thing is to be able to speak. “It’s about making sure that everyone opens their mouths and speaks their thoughts and that those thoughts are not ignored.”
“⋯⋯Isn’t that too obvious?”
“Yes, of course. “The problem is that this obvious thing has not been done at all in the party.”
The party price has changed a lot. Clearly, there was a big difference in this life compared to when Qingming first visited the Tang family.
However, that was only the result of Tanggunak, which won the power struggle with the Senate, listening to the words of Qingming.
If Tang Zhan, who was not a party member, responded to Qingming’s words. And the Tang Dynasty was hostile to the Qing Dynasty?
Then the party price would not have changed at all. Whether it is the party or the party, it would have followed the same path as the party of the past.
“Rather than setting limits based on a thoroughly divided hierarchy, everyone opens their mouths for the sake of the family. We listen to each other’s opinions and seek a better path. “Not simply to protect what has been inherited from the past, but to move forward even if it means breaking with the past.”
A bitter look crossed Cheongmyeong’s face.
Party officials worked hard their whole lives for that obvious thing. And in the end, I was unable to achieve it in my lifetime. Perhaps this scene may be one that Tang Bo painted over and over again during his lifetime.
Cheongmyeong once again admired Tanggunak.
‘What a great person.’
A person who almost collapsed from despair gathers his emotions in one night and moves on again. Even if you can’t come to a conclusion, you find a way to do so.
Cheongmyeong suddenly had a thought. So what would it have been like if that guy had become the head of the Four Thousand Dang Family? As expected…
“⋯⋯The party must have failed.”
“huh? Are you going to fail?”
“Oh no.”
Cheongmyeong was startled and threw up his hands. Just thinking about it made me break into a cold sweat. Even at this moment, Tanggunak was listening to Gasol’s words with a serious expression. Cheongmyeong thought that at a time like this, having Tanggunak as the head of the family might be a stroke of luck for the Tang family.
So the people of Dangga will be happy too…
“There’s a fight over there?”
“huh?”
“Uh oh. Even the rain flies away.”
“uh?”
“Wow, isn’t that serious?”
Cold sweat broke out from Cheongmyeong’s face.
It seems like they have accumulated a lot from each other over the years. The place that started out quietly quickly became chaotic.
“Just because families live together doesn’t necessarily mean they get along well.”
“Is it funny that Sa-suk says something like that?”
“My what am I?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled as he looked at Baekcheon who was embarrassed.
‘It’s worth it.’
Strict laws, perfect hierarchy, and a status that only works within the family. Tang people have suffered from that pretense all their lives.
However, since the head of the family, who is the guardian of the law, has personally provided a space for the hierarchy to be resolved, it is natural that the accumulated contents will burst out.
“Isn’t that really causing a fuss? “It’s a mess?”
“No need to worry.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled.
“Isn’t it possible that the head of the Tang family would not have expected something like this, other than a child? You probably knew everything. “Looking at it now, I’m so happy…”
Cheongmyeong closed his mouth for a moment.
“Dang family lord?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Tanggunak.
“⋯⋯Are you talking about that person over there? “Yes, Cheongmyeong?”
Among the Gasols who were grabbing each other, Danggunak was sitting with a pale face.
“I guess you didn’t expect it?”
“That look on its face says, ‘Please help me.’ Looks like it?”
“Cheongmyeong?”
Cheongmyeong, who was staring at the Tang military music, raised his head and looked at the blue sky. A familiar face seemed to be smiling brightly at him.
– The party is a mess.
“Hey Mr. Lee…”
I didn’t know it was this bad. Ugh.
