Episode 1532. What do you know? (2)
‘Why? Baekcheon leaned heavily against the back of the chair as if asking, ‘Did I say something I shouldn’t have said?’
If you think about the fact that the gate owners of each gate representing Cheonwoomaeng are gathered together, this is an attitude that you can’t even imagine.
But people didn’t care one bit. No, I couldn’t write it. This is because their eyes were all focused elsewhere.
That’s right… it’s happening.
Tanggunak’s mouth, which had always been firmly shut, opened like an idiot. Like someone who saw a meteorite fall on their head while they were sleeping.
That kind of facial expression from Tanggunak?
I can assure you that he has never seen his daughter, Tang Xiaoxiao, or even Tang Gunak’s parents.
Fear began to swirl in the hearts of those who saw that rare sight with their own eyes.
Jo Geol, who thought that all kinds of poisonous memorization might come pouring out of Tanggunak’s sleeve at any moment, was the first to grab a chair and quietly retreat from Baekcheon’s side.
‘Ah…’
Then he flinched and looked sideways. It occurred to me too late that Yoonjong might yell at me.
But at that moment, what Jo Geol saw was Yoon Jong’s back, which was already that far away.
‘execution?’
No, he emphasized that loyalty between the death penalty system is just as important….
Keek!
At that moment, the sound of a chair being dragged was heard from the other side. As everyone’s attention was focused, Yu Iseol, who was far away from Baek Cheon, spoke with an expressionless face.
“Because it’s hot.”
“….”
“Really.”
“….”
This is absolutely not a betrayal.
If a person causes an accident to this extent, there is no way to fix it.
Even if Tanggunak immediately rushed in front of Hyeonjong, saying he would beat Baekcheon to death, Hyeonjong said, ‘Heh heh. How could you stab someone to death with that spit? You should use my sword.’ You will have to release the plum sword.
However, while everyone, even Tang Xiaoxiao, was desperately watching for Tang Jun-yak’s thoughts, the person involved, Baek Man-man, was looking straight at Tang Jun-yak with an expression of annoyance at everything.
After a tense standoff that took my breath away.
“…Do you mean you know better because you’ve been through it?”
“yes.”
“Hmm.”
Tanggunak spoke instead of Bido.
“Haa….”
“Huh.”
“Keueuung.”
At the same time, gasps of relief erupted from all directions.
“Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha.”
Hyeyeon repeatedly expressed her displeasure and was sincerely grateful that hell did not unfold over royalties. Perhaps in his eyes now, Tanggunak will look like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
And Baekcheon, who clearly looked like an asura in his eyes, opened his mouth.
“I am not ignoring the Four Heavenly Danga. I can assure you that the place in the world where the Four Heavenly Ways are most recognized is Hwasan.”
“That’s right…”
Before Tanggunak could finish his words, King Hyeonjong’s voice cut in quickly and quietly.
“We would like to inform you that all statements made by Director Jang Moon are personal opinions and may differ from Hwasan’s official position.”
Tang Gunak was speechless again and looked blankly at King Hyeonjong.
Hyeonjong only looked out the distant window, as if his neck was crooked, and did not make eye contact with Tang Gunak.
“…okay. I guess… I guess. “Mr. Jangmun.”
Tanggunak thought.
If the day comes when the volcano catches fire again, it may not be the devil’s fault, but his fault.
Baekcheon continued.
“It is not I who underestimates the capabilities of the Tang family, but rather the head of the family.”
“…I?”
A doubt flashed through Tang Gunak’s eyes. Baekcheon looked at him and answered firmly.
“yes. There is nothing wrong with what Soso said. “Even a small party can exert great power, and when they have our backs, we can fight twice as hard.”
“Um…”
“If Suso’s proposal does not fit the Party’s methods, it is natural to reject it. However, it is rather difficult for us to accept that we cannot accept Soso’s words because they are wrong. “That’s…”
Baekcheon’s eyes turned to Tang Xiaoxiao and the party flag.
“Because it is an insult to those who protected our lives in that hell-like place.”
The five swords nodded in unison. And in some ways, he stared at Tanggunak with a gaze that could seem a little provocative.
In that gaze, Tanggunak felt an unknown emotion welling up inside him.
Proud? Proud?
no.
The emotions that instantly enveloped Tanggunak were none other than anger and hatred.
An ordinary person would have been enraged and poured out that anger towards them without any filtering. But fortunately, Tang Gunak was no ordinary person.
Instead of being angry, he was embarrassed by the emotion that swept over him for a moment. I had doubts.
Is this something to be so angry about? So much so that you instantly feel murderous?
And soon he found out the cause of his feelings.
This is not a feeling of anger because they ‘opposed’ him. It’s a feeling that ‘they’ are fighting against.
To put it simply,…
‘You’re not a child anymore.’
When a wolf cub bites the leg of a larger wolf, the older wolf disciplines the cub by licking it or biting it lightly enough not to hurt it.
However, when a wolf, which is no longer a cub, bites its leg, a fight that ends only when one of the two surrenders.
People are no different.
There have been many arguments with them in the past. However, the fact that his emotions were so different this time was proof that he now accepted them as equals.
“Jangmun Assistant Manager.”
“yes.”
“Are Deputy Jang Moon’s words meant to praise Sajil’s hard work? Or…”
“No.”
Baekcheon shook his head without even listening to what was said.
“I did not come forward as a member of the private residence. I came forward as a single person. To me, Dang Soso and Dang Som Somju are warriors who must be respected. “Not because of his status, but because of his abilities.”
Ogeum and even Cheongmyeong nodded as if it was natural. At the same time, Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned red.
Tang Gunak silently watched this scene with his own two eyes. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Those whom he recognizes at the same level recognize his daughter and son.
That means…
“I’ll ask you this for the last time.”
“yes.”
“As someone who has experienced the most battles within the Cheonwoo Alliance, as someone who overcame adversity from Haenam to here, and as the deputy leader of Hwasan, what do you think of those two claims?”
“….”
“Do you think there is a reason for the party to choose that path?”
Baekcheon’s eyes became a little clearer and clearer.
“It is not for me to dare discuss the affairs of the party family.”
“…is it?”
Tanggunak muttered. Baekcheon added.
“However, if I were the head of the Sichuan Tang family, I would not ignore the experience and opinions of the person who will lead the Tang family in the future.”
Although the question was asked with the party’s position in mind, the answer came back with the party’s flag in mind. But it doesn’t matter. This is because both the party headquarters and the party leadership have gathered their opinions.
Tang Gunak’s expression was heavy. Everyone watched in silence, waiting for the decision he would make.
Tang Gunak’s gaze briefly turned to Cheongmyeong.
He is talkative and noisy and likes to go out anytime and anywhere.
He hasn’t expressed a single opinion since this story began. I just folded my arms and watched. Behind Ogham’s back.
Tang Gunak smiled a little awkwardly.
“Then I…”
* * *
“Ahh!”
Jogeol screamed and jumped up. Once again, the needle got stuck in the tip of my finger. Yoonjong spoke without even looking at me.
“Stop acting so harshly. “He didn’t even moan once when a knife pierced his stomach.”
“Okay. “The painful area is different between this and that?”
“…I will never be able to beat the Tang family in my life.”
“yes?”
“no.”
Yunjong shook his head.
Tang Gunak eventually decided to accept the opinion of the Tang Soso.
Although there was a condition that it would be tested before the war and that it would be immediately reverted if it did not work out, it was in fact no different from approval.
“…Honestly, isn’t this ridiculous?”
Jo Geol said while looking at Yoon Jong as if it was absurd.
“No, splitting one clan into smaller pieces means that the orders of the head of the clan cannot be given individually. That means entrusting the lives of the members of the clan to the instructions of another clan, right?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“Would you be able to make that decision if it were the death penalty?”
“What’s so big about that?”
“That’s great! Can the death penalty be put to death according to the commands of Lord Seol Sogung?”
“Lord Xiaogung is a great person, so of course he will…”
“What if it’s General Han?”
Yoonjong closed his mouth. Instead, his eyebrows twitched.
“What would you do if you were not a general but one of the great lords of the Bing Palace?”
“Okay.”
Finally, Yoonjong sighed with a groan.
“okay. You are right. “It’s definitely something we couldn’t even imagine if we were doing it the way we did before.”
“Yes?”
“So, isn’t Lord Dangga amazing? Because you accepted that without a second thought.”
“…Isn’t there a possibility that it will be withdrawn even now?”
“You’re not saying this because you don’t want to sew, are you?”
Judging from his hesitation, it seemed like he was right.
“Don’t be lazy, just do it diligently. “Do you remember the small saying that people who can’t do things properly are dragged to the new doctor’s office?”
“…I don’t know what he ate to grow up to be so unforgiving.”
“I grew up eating poison.”
“Ah….”
The Order of God. It is an independent organization of the Cheonwoo Alliance temporarily established based on the opinions of the party branch and party faction.
Currently, the Tang Soso is busy organizing and educating the Tang family’s warriors, excluding those at the elder level, and the Tang family’s women who have learned medicine and divine law.
Of course, in name only, the leader of Sinuidan was the leader of Soga, and the actual Danju was Tang military music, but as in Hwasan, Tang Soso was playing a significant role in Sinuidan.
Jo Geol still felt unfair.
“No, in the end everything happened as I said, so why are you asking us to do this!”
“I already told you ten times, right? Even if there is a doctor behind you, there is a world of difference in whether the person fighting knows how to properly administer simple first aid or not. “If you know how to do just that, you can save three out of ten people.”
“Ok.”
Jogeol scratched his head.
Since there is no way to win with logic, he decides to cry and eat mustard, but it doesn’t suit his temperament.
“no! Sasuk, what on earth is so funny about this?”
“…If you do this secretly, you will become addicted.”
“You really have a great talent!”
On the other hand, Baekcheon was almost like a fish out of water. Everyone around me looked at it with admiration.
“Hey… look at this. “The gap is literally as big as a hair.”
“Look at how dense it is. “It will also filter rainwater.”
“Sasook. “Can you place the plum blossom?”
“It’s not embroidery!”
Jogeol threw away her tattered cloth and pouted.
“No, what are we doing because we are good at this? “You just have to swing your sword well.”
“If you want to wield a sword well, do it.”
“yes?”
Yoonjong unfolded the cloth he was holding and put it down. His sewing was also similar to Baekcheon’s, with each stitch being tight and uniform.
“As I watched, I noticed that the people who were criticizing me for not doing this well had something in common.”
“…What do we have in common?”
“They are short-tempered, aggressive, and prefer to swing their swords as they please rather than following a set path.”
“uh?”
“Yes, that’s right. “Guys like you.”
Yoonjong clicked his tongue.
“This is a matter of patience rather than skill. And swords are no different. “A sword that cannot overcome and suppress the urge to swing quickly and strongly is simply the sword of Sapa.”
“….”
“If you want to become stronger, start by learning how to suppress your sword.”
“That is correct.”
Even Baekcheon came forward to help Yunjong.
“Can those who can’t even use a needle properly use a sword properly?”
“….”
“Whether it is a sword or a needle, it must be perfect in the hands of a volcano swordsman. So everyone, stop whining and do your best. Because it will save your life and mine.”
“yes!”
“I’ll keep that in mind, Sasuk!”
Baekcheon nodded and was about to look at the cloth again, but suddenly turned his gaze. Because there was something that caught my eye.
I got up and walked over to the table next to me. What caught my eye was a piece of cloth that almost looked like a rag. Literally a mess.
“Whose is this?”
“…Uh, that’s….”
“Say it the right way. Some guy sewed things like that! I would have definitely told you to do it as elaborately as if you were a swordsman! “What kind of guy are you!”
“Sasook. “That’s it.”
“Don’t speak straight…!”
“That’s Cheongmyeong, Sasuk.”
“….”
Baekcheon, who was quietly looking down at the cloth that looked like a child had drawn lines on it as a joke, returned to his seat and sat down without saying a word.
And then I calmly started sewing again.
* * *
“How do you feel?”
“Aaaahhh!”
Tanggunak, startled, flinched and took a step back.
I was just asking how he was, but he was cute and pretty… But sometimes, even he, the father, had an annoying daughter-in-law.
“Why don’t you listen to me? why!”
“….”
“No, what if they know more about medicine? Have you ever been to the battlefield? Have you ever treated someone while knives were flying? Anyway, this guy and that guy can’t say a word, so it seems like they’re suffering from a fatal disease and can’t keep their mouths still!”
Still, even though they are the older brothers and sisters of the family, isn’t this or that person’s mouth a bit different?… …
Danggunak thought in his heart.
“It seems difficult.”
“It’s difficult!”
bang!
Tang Soso hit the floor hard. Then he shouted with his eyes burning.
“But you have to!”
“…hmm.”
“It’s not something you do because it’s easy, it’s something you do because you have to do it! “It would be better for me to be in trouble now than to cry in front of a dying person!”
It was truly a resolute and full of will. Tang Gunak smiled secretly as he looked at his motivated daughter.
“You’re like my daughter.”
These were words I spoke as the head of the family and as a father.
