Episode 1601. I can’t even laugh. (6)
“Ryeonju.”
Ho Ji-myeong carefully held out the bottle to Jang Il-so.
Jang Il-so smiled and accepted the bottle. Before he knew it, he was on the horse that Hu Ga-myeong had brought by air.
“This is why I can’t do anything about you.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to get a more rare drink for my own safety.”
“It is done. “I don’t know what to say.”
Jang Il-so glanced back.
We are already far from the battlefield. You can enjoy this level of luxury. I slowly brought the bottle to my mouth.
Hu Jiaming, who was watching the scene with sunken eyes, opened his mouth.
“I congratulate you.”
“Your Majesty?”
“This victory will stand a long way.”
It is not a simple public position. This match will definitely be recorded in the history of Gangho. This was the first victory for Safa, which dealt a crushing blow to that political faction.
The name Jang Il-so will be recorded as the person who ended the reign of the Nine Sects and established the Sapa world. Whether it is a history of glory or a history of shame.
“There’s nothing to be new about.”
However, Jang Il-so, who was actually the person in question, spoke harshly.
“It’s something I’ve always done. This time it was just a little bigger. I didn’t do anything particularly well. “It’s not that I was great, it’s just that those guys were idiots.”
Jang Il-so is always like this.
“But this victory wasn’t just a result of fooling around. “Didn’t he also feel helpless?”
“who? “You mean the Hwasan Sword Association?”
“yes.”
Jang Il-so, who was silent for a moment, chuckled.
“A pseudonym.”
“yes.”
“Do you think I’m better than him?”
“of course.”
“I feel grateful.”
Ho Jiamyeong glanced at Jang Ilso, who was drinking.
“Lord Ryeon, don’t you think so?”
“Well, there will be a better side.”
A scarred finger swiped the alcohol that was flowing down his chin.
“And there are also other sides. But what determines this battle is ‘who is the better person?’ “It is not such a trivial matter.”
“What if…”
“It’s too much.”
Jang Il-so laughed as if it was funny.
“Anhui, Hubei and even Hainan. No no. Maybe even Gangnam thinks he should do something.”
Hu Jiaming nodded. Jang Il-so slowly turned the bottle.
“I have nothing to protect, but he has to protect the whole world. Unless you have ten bodies, you can’t be active everywhere. So this isn’t a fair bet to begin with.”
Hu Jiaming’s face hardened. As I listened to the story, something came to mind.
“Do you know, pseudonym?”
“⋯⋯.”
“He’s never been defeated where he’s at. Always won. Yangtze River? “If it weren’t for him, we would always have had more results.”
“For sure…”
I didn’t want to, but I had to admit it. Because none other than Hu Ga-myeong is the victim of that ‘activity’.
“So, on the other hand, dealing with him is also simple. Just let me protect it. “All of this wide world.”
The corner of Jang Il-so’s mouth curled up.
“When you grab so many things with only one pair of hands.”
Jjaeng.
The liquor bottle in Jang Il-so’s hand shattered and flew out. Clear liquor flowed from my tightly clenched hand.
“Eventually, there are things that escape its grasp.”
“⋯⋯.”
“I’m just giving you a choice. Will you protect Anhui or will you protect Gupa? “Will you protect Shaolin or…”
The corner of Jang Il-so’s mouth curls up strangely.
“Will he protect the volcano he values so much?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Of course, you may not know all of the choices you make. Hahaha!”
It’s terribly complicated. The criminal will not be able to easily understand what is happening even when he sees it.
But Jang Il-so organized it all in the simplest way possible.
The key is how to bring out the Hwasan Sword Association.
And how to fight outside of his influence.
‘Maybe…’
At that moment, a chill ran down Hu Jiaming’s spine.
“Dare I dare ask you one thing?”
“Even though you don’t have to show such contempt, you keep doing it. “Ask as many questions as you want.”
“Ryeonju-nim…”
Hu Jiaming hesitated for a moment. Perhaps even asking this question itself may be blasphemous.
Nevertheless, after hesitation, I opened my mouth. I couldn’t help but ask.
“⋯⋯Did you expect that Mo Yong, Zhuge, and Tian Yu-Meng would soon arrive there?”
“Hmm?”
Jang Il-so’s eyes gently widened. There was joy in his bright eyes.
“What do you think?”
Hu Jiaming was silent. I didn’t dare to answer.
“To be honest….”
Jang Il-so shed a strange smile.
“I had no idea.”
Hu Jiaming’s mouth suddenly opened.
Jang Il-so spoke casually, as if he had not said anything special.
“Of course I thought it would come, but it’s hard to know exactly when. Even if it’s me.”
“Then why?”
“Why did you step down?”
Hu Jiaming committed disrespect by nodding his head without saying a word.
“Well… “Why?”
Jang Il-so did not give a clear answer. But I felt like I knew.
There is no need to predict. There is no need to think about it. Because it’s already been decided. There is no fighting where he is.
The Hwasan Sword Association will do the thinking. He will judge. That there is a possibility of winning and that this situation can be turned around.
In other words, if you do not respond to the fight he brings, at least Sapaeryeon will not be defeated.
‘Is this possible?’
Hu Jiaming was incomprehensible, as if he had hit a wall.
Shouldn’t all of these operations be based on absolute trust in the other person?
The Hwasan Swordsman Association came all the way from Anhui for a month, believing that Jang Il-so would definitely win against the old faction.
And as soon as he saw the Hwasan Swordsman Association, Jang Il-so turned away without any regrets even though he was leading such a large army.
‘Both…’
Both of them are insane.
I don’t dare say it, but those words are the only way to explain this situation.
The fact that the two people who hated each other the most in the world, on the other hand, trusted each other most completely was a paradox that could not even be described as tragic.
Ho Ga-myeong gently pressed something that was leaking from within. Then, in order not to reveal this unknown emotion, he changed his tone.
“Then… which do you think he chose this time?”
“It’s called Shaolin.”
“Isn’t the volcano more important to you?”
“Of course it is. But this time, I can’t compare them both. “A choice that has already been made cannot be undone.”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s a shame I couldn’t see it with my own eyes.”
Jang Il-so licked the alcohol off his hand with his tongue.
“The face of a man struggling because of a choice he made without realizing it would be a never-ending entertainment.”
The scent that quickly faded lingered in my mouth along with the bloody smell. He sneered faintly.
This number can no longer be used. The political faction will eventually be reorganized under the name of Cheon Woo-maeng.
But…
“So, I hope you will happily accept my last gift. “I prepared it with great care.”
Jang Il-so’s face was filled with a bright blue spirit.

Ta-da-da-da!
Well over a hundred horses gallop through the wilderness. Long guns, a strange mixture of red and white, fluttered in the wind.
A sinister look appeared in the eyes of those urging them to speak.
“Hurry!”
The time given by Jang Il-so is running out.
After running for a long time through the prairie along the mountain range heading to the west to avoid the opening eyes, we finally reached this place.
Now it’s just a matter of getting to the goal of chords. The person in front licked his lips.
‘Volcano…’
Isn’t it truly a hateful name? I was so excited that my hair stood on end at the thought that it was I who would destroy that name.
If all goes according to plan, the Hwaeum where the volcano is located will now be Muju Gongsan itself.
“As soon as you arrive, kill them all and set them on fire. So that they can howl when they see that sight.”
“yes!”
Honggyeon, who was leading, kicked the horse’s side.
‘Faster!’
Even though I still have time, my heart keeps burning.
Because I know that if I’m even a little late, I won’t be able to achieve what I want.
Before that hateful Volcano Sword Association arrives, everything alive in the harmony must be erased. So that he loses everything and eventually loses himself and goes on a rampage as a vengeful spirit.
‘more!’
It was a moment to urge me to speak again.
“captain! Before!”
“hmm?”
Hong Jian frowned.
The road leading from the steppe to Shaanxi is literally a wasteland. A vast wasteland with nothing to block the view.
But there was something on that barren land where there was no trace of people.
‘person?’
The person walking through the wasteland’s clothes were old and tattered as the wind blew. In fact, it is something closer to a majesty rather than a blood suit.
There weren’t even any shoes on on the feet that were exposed underneath the blood.
If you walk through this wilderness as worse than a beggar…
‘Is he a madman?’
No one in their right mind would cross this land dressed like that.
“What should I do?”
“Sounds obvious.”
visor.
A bright blue sword was pulled out of the sword house.
There is no need to leave an eye. Just in case, anyone who sees them must be killed.
‘Consider it unlucky.’
Taaat!
He kicked the horse’s side. The courser rushed towards the man like a wild horse. Honggyeon quickly approached and struck the man’s back with his sword.

“Dojo?”
Hwang Jong-ui was startled by the sight of Cheongmyeong suddenly jumping into the main road of harmony.
“Whoop!” Phew! Whoop!”
It was unfamiliar to see Cheongmyeong exhaling as if he would run out of breath at any moment. Cheongmyeong quickly looked left and right without even having time to catch his breath. My eyes were shaking terribly.
While Hwang Jong-ui was confused, Unam approached Cheongmyeong without hesitation.
“how? “Did you come alone?”
Cheongmyeong seemed to not even hear those words and was busy looking around blankly.
After a long time had passed, Cheongmyeong’s mouth opened.
“⋯⋯less?”
“enemy?”
Unam frowned.
“Enemies? “Isn’t the Sapae-ryeon in Hubei?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Taesangjangmunin led the monks to Hubei. “Didn’t you receive it?”
Worry flashed across Unam’s face. Qingming looked at that face blankly. My fingertips were trembling.
‘What…?’
Qingming arrived first? No, that can’t happen. They can’t be that clumsy.
So they weren’t aiming for harmony in the first place? no. That can’t happen either.
Just as Jang Il-so knows him, he also knows Jang Il-so. In that situation, this is the only place where it would be worthwhile to steal troops and target them.
So what exactly happened to this scene? Why are chords still peaceful?
“Cheongmyeong?”
Cheongmyeong’s two eyes were filled with confusion.
“What the hell…”
Cheongmyeong, who had been helpless with his mouth open and unable to figure out what to do, let out his thoughts as if he were in pain.
“What… happened?”
A sound like something cracking echoed in Cheongmyeong’s head.
