Episode 1566. I go for a walk on days like this. (1)
“…Dowi.”
A moan-like murmur flowed from Namgungmyeong’s mouth.
I’ve never even imagined it. I don’t think my nephew can fight like that.
Of course, Nam Gung Do-wi is a great talent. This is true even when looking at the affection of blood relatives. There would be few people in the world who would not objectively acknowledge him.
But the Namgung Dowi he sees now is not the Namgung Dowi he knew until now.
“You…”
Paaaaat!
At that moment, a sharp harpoon flew toward Nangungmyeong’s face. Namgung-myeong quickly turned his head to avoid the attack and hurled his sword. He bit his lip as he plunged his sword into the enemy’s heart.
I let my guard down for a moment. It shouldn’t be like this.
“My lord! “More bastards are coming!”
“Know!”
This is not the time to be emotional or something. This is especially not the time to be proud of Namgung Dowi.
I quickly looked around.
The bandits who had spread out in all directions must have heard of the situation here and are flocking in like a swarm of ants that have found food.
It was a despairing sight, but Namgungmyeong did not waver.
‘I already knew the ending anyway!’
If I had saved myself thinking about what happened later, I wouldn’t have been able to reach the Black Dragon King.
Kill the Black Dragon King.
I was able to get this far because I rushed forward without hesitation, aiming only for that one thing. How could he not know what the last of the death-defying group that attacked the king was?
“Hold on! No, see through! “Go forward even if there is a sword in your back!”
“yes!”
Namgungmyeong put more strength into the hand holding the sword.
Life is a good thing. The only thing more terrible than a miserable death is a humiliating life. That’s why I came this far.
However, the moment he saw Nangong Daowi fighting like that, another mission arose in Nangongmyeong’s heart.
‘As much as Dowi…!’
Nangungmyeong bit his lip and pressed his inner power into the sword, and soon a white sword color appeared.
“Oooooh!”
The white sword energy that was emitted swept away the enemies in front at once.
“Pierce through!”
Namgoongmyeong’s eyes were bloodshot.

Same time.
“This is intelligence that Namgung has headed to the Yangtze River. “You would have encountered the waterway by now!”
“Others, including Deputy Hwasan Jangmun, are following behind him!”
“Members of the medical corps have been called in and are providing support under the direction of our office. At the same time, some of the party groups sent a report that they would move towards the Yangtze River first!”
“I can’t properly contact Jongnam! “I’ll try again!”
Tang Gunak’s expression became heavy as he listened to the reports pouring in.
‘In the end…’
The report said it was a ‘prediction’, but he could be sure.
By now, the Namgung family would have rushed into Surochae without even thinking about what happened next.
Just like Emperor Nangong crossed the Yangtze River while ignoring everything around him.
The person here who best knows the characteristics of those belonging to the five major families is Tanggunak. So there’s no way you don’t know.
People say that the Hebei Paengjia is extremely rapid, but that is just a comment about human nature. No matter what anyone says, the most extreme and bold family when it comes to making decisions is the Namgung family.
Tanggunak quickly clenched and unclenched his fist.
They say history repeats itself, but I had no idea the same thing would happen again so soon.
Is this the Namgung family’s fault? Or is it the fault of those who were completely unprepared despite the possibility of this happening?
Or…
“You’re completely screwed.”
At that time, Lim So-byeong muttered with a stern expression.
“…Green Forest King.”
“If you get tired, burn with all your might…. It’s so obvious that it can’t even be called an art of war.”
Lim So-byeong looked calmer than expected, but he seemed a little lost.
But I could understand the Tanggunak. Even though his face was covered with a fan, a deep sense of humiliation flashed through his exposed eyes.
“The reason he knew Namgung better than us was because he was a member of the Sapae-ryeon.”
Tanggunak was silent. This was what he was most concerned about.
This is clearly what everyone was aiming for.
The reason they pushed the miscellaneous people into Anhui was probably because they expected that the Namgung family would be attracted by doing so.
And in that gap, they even targeted Surochae, an enemy that the Namgung family could never leave behind, heading towards Anhui.
It was completely incomprehensible when I was being beaten one after another, but now that I’ve gotten to this point, it all becomes clear.
Tang Gunak’s face was slightly distorted.
‘Was I this incompetent?’
There was nothing to do about such an obvious number. Although I have never considered myself a good person, I have lived my life thinking that I am not a bad person, but I am filled with self-doubt and feelings of self-destruction.
At that moment, Hyeonjong, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“It’s not just that.”
“…Lord.”
“You have to be cool-headed. Jang Il-so knows not only the Namgung family. He knew that if we were Cheonwoo-Maeng, it would inevitably come out like this. “They knew us better than we knew ourselves.”
“….”
“From our perspective, it was a conclusion that was finally reached after numerous conflicts and discussions, but for him…”
Hyeonjong could not finish his sentence. The sigh that followed was filled with despair and despair.
Lim So-byeong’s hand holding the fan was tense.
“…That is correct.”
There is no way not to admit it now. Even if no fatal blows have been struck yet, the fact is that the world has been playing into the hands of that Jang Il-so from the time the Sapae-ryeon began crossing the Yangtze River until now.
To the evil enemy who has leisurely set up camp in Zhangjiajie.
“You have to think. “What on earth are you aiming for?”
Lim So-byeong gritted his teeth until he made a loud noise.
“What has already passed cannot be undone. But if we continue to lose sight of his purpose like this, we will have to suffer more damage than we can imagine.”
“…That’s what you’re aiming for.”
Tanggunak’s voice came out harsher than usual.
“Isn’t it obvious that they are aiming for it? “It will attract people who will spread throughout Gangbuk.”
“and?”
“Also, the forces of the Gupa Ilbang and the Five Great Families, who were trying to come to Hubei for support, will also be tied up in that position.”
“…and?”
“And what?”
“So you’re saying that Hwasan and Nangongse’s goal is to take over some of the Tang family’s power?”
Tanggunak’s mouth suddenly closed.
“That’s…”
“In return, you give me a water pole? Just risk the Black Dragon King’s life as collateral?”
In fact, it is not enough to say that it is the best.
Although the evaluation will vary depending on the person, it can definitely be said to be a benefit if Hwasan and Nangungse can destroy the power of the Sicheondang family in exchange for Surochae.
Especially if the volcano’s power includes Cheongmyeong and Five Swords.
But everyone here knew. That never happens. As long as Cheongmyeong is there, the worst thing imaginable will never happen.
“Even though he lost one arm, the Black Dragon King is a force that cannot be lost in the Sapaeryun, where the number of absolute experts is limited. “Jang Il-so is not stupid enough to sacrifice someone like that to an uncertain gamble.”
Tanggunak could not help but agree with these words. Lim So-byeong continued.
“Jang Il-so’s behavior so far has been difficult to predict and cannot be understood. And that’s not just because Jang Il-so’s scheme is mysterious.”
“Then what is it for?”
“That’s because that damn guy has been doing nothing but causing losses since the beginning of the war.”
In an instant, Tang Gunak’s face hardened.
It feels like a hole has suddenly been opened in a corner of my heart. What was so stuffy in my head is now flowing out of Lim So-byeong’s mouth.
“It may not be of much help, but the number of people cannot be ignored. However, they did not hesitate to push such troops into the same place and also pushed Surochae, one of the most powerful forces they had, into the same place. “What on earth did Sapaeryun get in return?”
Everyone had stiff faces and couldn’t answer.
does not exist.
there’s nothing.
At best, the lives of civilians. And the chaos in Gangbuk.
That’s just psychological damage that doesn’t have any significant impact on the power of the Gu faction or the Cheonwoomaeng faction.
To put it bluntly, this means that Jang Il-so has been repeatedly giving nonsense handshakes.
Does that make sense? That Jangilso?
“…Then what are you aiming for?”
“I do not know. Of course we don’t know. But…”
Lim So-byeong said as if chewing.
“What I can be sure of is that he is never a person who does anything to lose money. Then, of course, now we have to reverse the losses we have suffered so far…”
It was that exact moment.
“Lord!”
Quang!
The door burst open as if it had burst, and a person rushed in. Since this happened so often, the senior leaders of Cheonwoomaeng were not surprised.
However, upon hearing the new report, the entire leadership immediately stood up from their seats.
“Damn all people! “The defeater, Jang Il-so, has moved!”
At that moment, a suffocating tension hit me like a sharp wind blowing through a canyon in the North Sea. Everyone in the conference room was speechless and focused their attention on one person.
Lim So-byeong spoke as if he was being squeezed out by the numerous gazes.
“At a moment like this…”
A drop of cold sweat ran down my pale and gaunt cheek.
* * *
“Hmm.”
A soft nasal sound rings out.
The hem of the colorful clothes brushed gently.
The red long robe embroidered with black thread was so splendid that it looked more like a woman’s palace jacket than a long robe.
He even wore a large crown, making his head and toes sparkle and shine.
Long, white fingers slowly lifted the crown hanging in front of the crown. The stringed beads struck together and made a clear, crackling sound.
“It’s nice weather.”
When the feet were lifted, a white face and red lips were revealed.
Jang Il-so, the defeated leader of the Sapaeryun. He looked up at the clear sky and nodded. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
“Yeah, it’s nice weather. yes?”
Wow.
As the tips of my fingers moved, my foot, which had been lifted, fell again as if flowing.
“I go for a walk on days like this. “I’m going to go a little further this time… but wouldn’t it be more fun?”
Jang Il-so glanced back at those standing behind him.
Unlike him, who was full of leisure, those who were armed with strong determination and tension responded.
“Yes, Lord Ryeon!”
“Hahaha.”
Jang Il-so smiled briefly and turned his head to look ahead. The vast land of Gangbuk spreads out before your eyes.
“Everyone, please follow along. “If you make a mistake, you might get lost.”
Jang Il-so’s feet slowly move forward.
The feet wearing red silk shoes are slowly lifted and then quietly set down.
widely.
It’s just one step, but it’s not a small step at all.
“It’s a pity that there are no instruments. Scream. It would be nice to sing too. Anything is good. “I think the kids far away should know that we’re going, right?”
The corners of Jang Il-so’s red mouth turned up eerily.
“That way… it’ll be fun.”
Jang Il-so, his whole body draped in red, advances at the head of the Sapaeryeon. It looked like a drop of blood on the tip of a black knife.
The goal, of course, is Gangbuk.
It is a forbidden land that has never been allowed to them until now.
