Episode 1525 Now that I think about it, I was wrong. (5)
Hyeonjong licked his appetite with a sigh.
“So…”
I didn’t want to do that, but my eyes kept focusing on Tang Gunak and Lim So-byeong, whose complexions had turned a little pale after running all the way to the volcano.
“…discipline those who leave the harmony and do things outside the harmony without permission…”
“No!”
Sure enough, fire spewed out from Tanggunak’s eyes.
“Disciplinary action! What do you mean by that, Lord? Although it started with overwork, it ended up being overworked. What will happen to Meng if we discipline such people!”
“That’s right…”
“I won’t do anything that no one tells me to do! “With that kind of mentality, we cannot overcome the current crisis, where the evil faction is attacking us from below and the old faction is preying on us from the side.”
“But this is a bit of a case…”
At that time, Lim So-byeong, who was busy panting, opened his fan.
It seemed like he wanted to make a nice clapping sound like he always did, but he seemed to have used up all his energy and his wrists were weak, so he made no noise at all.
“Generals on the battlefield are not punished for disobeying orders. “You are only evaluated based on your performance.”
“…That’s a bit of a case…”
And don’t cover half of your face under the Green Forest King’s eyes. He has a pale face and black under eyes, like a ghost…
“Anyway, on behalf of Noklim, I oppose it.”
“I also oppose it on behalf of the Sichuan Party.”
“The top of the galaxy is also the opposite!”
Before we knew it, even Hwang Jong-ui, who had come running and was present, also joined in.
These three people were responsible for the largest share in designing the chords. King Hyeonjong felt very uncomfortable as they all stood up and opposed him like this.
Why doesn’t he know why they do this?
No one can deny that Cheongmyeong turns people inside out and turns the clan into a mess… but in terms of ability, honestly, he’s a hundred times more capable than an ordinary tactician.
This is not an exaggeration, it actually serves 100 people. Even if I don’t know where I am, I know where I am. Haven’t you painfully realized that fact over the past ten days when Cheongmyeong disappeared?
And the creation of this city in the first place ultimately came from that guy’s head. No matter who you ask in the world, there is no one who can move more efficiently than that guy when it comes to this matter.
In this situation, if Cheongmyeong is disciplined, everyone else will have to continue to take on the responsibility.
“Wow.”
Cheongmyeong, who was sitting on one side of the conference room, leaned back against the chair and sighed. His attitude was quite different from when he first heard about the disciplinary action earlier, when he stuck out his snout.
“You’re saying you’re going to be punished? “It is the law of the world that if a person commits a crime, he or she is punished. Why do you keep blocking it like this?”
Lim So-byeong’s hands were shaking. If a look could kill a person, Cheongmyeong’s body would probably be divided into seventy-eight parts right now.
But…
“There must have been circumstances for that.”
Unfortunately, the sad reality is that you cannot kill someone with just your eyes, and you have to say things that go against their will with your mouth.
“There was no such thing as an ejaculation?”
“There must have been!”
“You said there isn’t any?”
“there is! “It was definitely there!”
Lim So-byeong was almost on the verge of shedding tears of blood. Cheongmyeong eventually nodded as if feeling sorry.
“Look! “I heard there were circumstances!”
“…Stop crying and just talk.”
“Mom…”
It was both a comedy and a tragedy. Everyone shed tears at the cruelty. Only Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue and brought something he was wearing around his waist to his mouth.
“You really don’t allow your child to receive as much punishment as they want. “For a person to reflect like this, you should give them appropriate punishment.”
“Cheongmyeong! “Where can I drink alcohol?”
“You can drink it!”
“Isn’t it truly generous and good!”
“What are you doing! Bring snacks! “To the advanced level!”
Hyeonjong, who was trying to admonish him, was at a loss for words. However, I did not have the slightest thought of reprimanding the three people.
Tanggunak said with a tired face.
“Lord.”
“…Yes, vice-lord.”
“If you really want to discipline me… you can share the work with us. Then we won’t object to the disciplinary action….”
“…Hmm. “I understand what you said, that there is no law to punish generals during wartime.”
Tanggunak opened his eyes. But Hyeonjong quietly avoided that gaze.
He’s old too, so if he works like that, he’ll die. Didn’t you recently realize that an unmanned worker can die while working?
Ogum, who was watching all of this from a little behind, quickly exchanged glances.
‘…is this correct?’
‘Is that correct?’
When Cheongmyeong suddenly changed his attitude and asked to enter Maehwa-dong on his own, I thought he was crazy, but I never thought it would turn out like this… Rather than being amazing, I would say something… ‘You devil.
‘
‘That’s not a real person.’
Yunjong whispered softly to Baekcheon.
“Can a Taoist do that?”
“…Aren’t your qualifications really good?”
“yes? “Why?”
“Isn’t a Taoist basically supposed to know people’s difficulties?”
“Yes?”
“How can you pick and hit only the things that others find difficult? “Wouldn’t that also be a great quality?”
…Normally, that kind of thing is not considered a quality, Sasuk….
“Anyway, say something. “What’s the situation now?”
“Okay.”
In response to Cheongmyeong’s question, Tang Gunak secretly groaned. But even for a moment, all the emotions disappeared from my face in an instant. Because work is work.
“The chord maintenance is roughly finished.”
“Already?”
“Because building, sharing, and uploading things isn’t that big of a deal. “It’s just a matter of manpower.”
Tanggunak spoke calmly, but those ‘manpower’
would know how scary these words are.
This is because the hidden meaning behind that saying is that time can be easily shortened by replacing humans in any task.
“The number of refugees coming in has decreased significantly… What remains is the problem of those people adapting to the harmony and living.”
“What about the General Assembly?”
“It’s being built. “I don’t know if you can call it a gun group.”
Tang Gunak’s eyes twitched in disapproval.
From his point of view, he
did not dare to call it a ‘chongdan’ because it was a large pavilion stacked on top of one another without a properly raised roof.
To put it bluntly, what kind of gun group is that? Concentration camp.
“Who will join the General Assembly?”
“Haenam is said to be coming to Hwaeum now, so it won’t take a few days. It is said that the main force of Ice Palace in the North Sea is also coming down, but it is so far away that it will take some time. Other small and medium-sized factions also want to join, but…”
Lim So-byeong interrupted and continued his explanation.
“I’m being overshadowed. “If someone or someone gets it, it’s sure to be a mess.”
“Like green forest?”
“yes! That’s right… No, you idiot! How much does the green forest attract people! Isn’t banditry something everyone does? First of all, do you know how many people get rejected from impressions? “A guy who looks like Hogu Saenim will still be a cat even if he wears a leopard skin!”
“But why are you such a mess?”
Lim So-byeong was trembling with bloodshot eyes.
“Ugh… I think I understand why people become sadists.”
“It’s already Sapayo Green Forest King.”
Danggunak, laughing, summed up the situation.
“At first, I didn’t understand why I had to do something like this, but once I did it, I understood. “How important is the General Assembly?”
First of all, the guns are visible to the eye. And it can accommodate people. The synergistic effect brought about by the two was beyond the Tang military music’s imagination.
“Well, first of all, it is basic for humans to build affection for where they eat and sleep.”
“So, Nokrim is a ragtag group?”
“Why is green forest appearing here again? Green forest! “Kruk….”
“Sosoya. “He’s falling down?”
“Leave it to death. “There is no medicine.”
“….”
“Why are you looking at me like that? That guy doesn’t really have any medicine. “It’s a desperate situation.”
Even as Jo Geol gave an exclamation and clearly agreed, Tanggunak continued speaking.
“It’s not just the big clans. Small and medium-sized sects who joined Cheonwoomaeng’s fame will also feel a distinct sense of belonging once they establish themselves in Hwaeum. Then really…”
Tanggunak trailed off.
What he originally wanted to say was, ‘The place called Cheonwoomaeng may not end up as a simple temporary union.’
It was. However, I felt it was a bit premature to discuss it already, so I refrained from saying anything.
At that time, Cheongmyeong said angrily.
“What an obvious thing to say. “Even if you live in someone else’s house, you become attached to it as you live there.”
“If you know that well, you can make it look nice….”
“That’s enough.”
Tang Gunak’s face showed endless melancholy.
“When they see those little bastards, the whole world points their fingers at the Tang family…”
Lim So-byeong continued speaking, leaving the Tang military music alone to settle down.
“Anyway, I have a complete assortment with this one.”
“What if you say assortment?”
“The biggest problem with Cheonwoomaeng so far is that there was no middle ground. This means that there were no people who could support the high-level class.”
“Could you be more specific?”
“Put more simply, it means that absolute numbers have always been insufficient. Therefore, we always had no choice but to fight while being outnumbered. We’ve done well so far, but there will be limitations. “In war, the majority always has the advantage.”
Everyone nodded. In particular, the heads of those who had been to Haenam moved up and down at an incredibly fast pace.
“If we do this, we will now be able to match the number by uniting the small and medium-sized factions.”
“It may not give us the upper hand, but at least we won’t be lopsided because of numbers. And that’s not all.”
The sparkle of playfulness in Lim So-byeong’s eyes disappeared as if washed away.
“There are three things you must prepare to win the war. First, military, second, supply, and finally, information.”
“….”
“For the military, we gathered all our allies who were scattered in all directions and built a city in Hwaeum for smooth supply and management. Lastly, we led to open cooperation so that we could gain an advantage in information.”
At those words, everyone turned to Cheongmyeong again.
“That means…”
“Yes.”
Lim So-byeong nodded.
Although he is the head of Green Forest, he is also a soldier of the Cheonwoo Alliance. The Cheonwoo-maeng soldier spoke with confidence.
“It may take some time to stabilize, but that is literally just
the time it takes to ‘stabilize.’”
The loud sound of someone swallowing dry saliva was heard.
“We are ready for war.”
A quiet silence fell over Daejeon.
Lim So-byeong’s words made everyone realize it. Now, an inevitable war will hit them.
It was then. Hyeonjong stared at Lim So-byeong with solemn eyes.
“The Green Forest King.”
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
“So what should we do from now on?”
Lim So-byeong smiled slightly.
“well. I don’t think I’m the one to answer that. “Shouldn’t we ask the person who started all this in the first place?”
Now everyone’s eyes were focused on Cheongmyeong.
“Musketeer.”
“Your lord.”
“Then I will ask the Musketeer. What should we do from now on?”
“That’s so obvious.”
Cheongmyeong, who was hanging out as if it were Yeongnam-il, slowly pulled his body forward. And then he slowly turned his head.
What he was looking at was the large window in the conference room. It opened towards the south.
Everyone knows it. Where is he looking? Who is there?
“…probably about a month. “I wonder if that snake bastard hasn’t moved from there.”
Everyone’s faces hardened. There is no one here who does not know who the snake cub represents.
‘already.’
When I came to my senses, time had passed quickly. This is because they were so busy preparing for war and maintaining harmony.
“He wouldn’t have spent a month just trying to divide the old faction and us.”
“…then?”
“It will come soon.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes became cold.
“The dagger he forged in one month.”
Everyone held their breath.
This was something that Jang Il-so, the loser, had to spend a month on. Just imagining what that might be sent a chill down my spine.
At that moment, Baekcheon, who had been silent until now, opened his mouth.
“So now… we have to stop that defeat.”
No one answered. There is no need to do that. Because the answer is fixed.
Lim So-byeong’s gaze turned south. His eyes were unusually gloomy.
‘Jang Il-so. ‘What are you planning?’
* * *
Dark skin, slightly thin body, thin lips, and thick eyebrows. It even gives the impression of a hardened feeling. He was not a very attractive looking person.
But that’s really just appearance.
The golden clothes he wore and the gorgeous scarlet embroidery on them. Moreover, if you see the clear sun pattern drawn in the middle of the chest, your impression of him changes.
His eyes seemed to be looking down at the countless people at his feet.
These are not the eyes of someone full of confidence in what they hold in their hands. In the first place, ruling is as natural as breathing. This is the look that only Lee can have.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
“so? “A mere thief… will take me under his wing?”
A tremendous brightness emanated from the man’s arrogant eyes.
“I heard that the monk with a thousand faces had a thousand faces, but I never heard that he had two necks. “Did you think you would dare to insult me and still come back alive?”
Then the long-haired man in front of me calmly answered.
“A person cannot have two necks, but…”
The long-haired man, a monk in disguise, continued speaking while staring penetratingly at the man sitting on the throne.
“The palace lord will not get this opportunity twice.”
A refreshing smile bloomed on the lips of Cheonmyeonsu Dam Yeo-hae.
