Episode 1398. If you apologize, I’ll make it up to you like it never happened.
Originally the Iron Blood Sword Jang Do-woo would not have been able to get anywhere near Seok Kyeong-jang’s family members.
However he did not pay attention to his surroundings because he was busy listening to the stories of his daughter and Geum-ah who were studying.
It was the same for the Ten War Muhus Nam Gung-yeon Gu Cheon-no and Sim Tong.
Whether we should call him lucky or extremely unlucky Jang Do-woo arrived within close range of Yeon Je-he’s family without any restraint.
As an unfamiliar middle-aged man approached Yeon Jeok-ha belatedly turned his head slightly.
At first he thought someone had come to say hello.
Because that happened often in Soho.
But it didn’t take long for him to realize that he was mistaken.
Zhang Dou said staring at his beautiful woman.
“Excuse me? I am the vice-lord of the Hwangryongbang the Iron Blood Sword. “Our Lord says he likes that girl. What is her name?”
Jang Do-woo had no regard for the old or young.
Even though he was heartbroken he had already been in Banban and returning home for a long time so he looked like an ordinary old country man.
Not to mention Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Gung-yeon.
Moreover none of them possessed any blades making it easy for people to mistake him for belonging to a family of merchants or civil servants.
For a moment an eerie silence fell over the Yeonjeokha family.
As the people froze Jang Do-woo smiled softly and added an explanation.
“Our Huanglongbang is a prestigious Bangpa in Zhejiang Province so there is nothing to be surprised about. Since you have caught the Lord’s eye only good things will happen to your family. “As for our Ark he is the kind of person even the Confederacy is anxious to welcome.”
As soon as he finished speaking Wol-ah frowned and spoke.
“Our matriarch is not a lady but the wife of Lord Jang. So she should stop going back.”
Wol-a’s stomach boiled but he suppressed his anger thinking that he was a guest of the Confederacy.
But Jang Do-woo did not blink an eye.
For a girl of that level of beauty marriage would not be a problem at all.
Moreover he immediately thought that this was a family gathering and that the young man might be her husband.
The number of sacrifices of a woman with her husband to the ark was innumerable.
This time Jang Do-woo’s gaze turned to the young man.
“Are you that lady’s blessed husband?”
“however?”
As soon as the middle-aged man started to stumble he let go of his horse.
Zhang Daou was angry but he could understand the young man’s deliberation so he held back.
In a situation where my wife would be taken away that was a good thing.
“If that young lady pours our Lord Ark a drink I will give her a piece of gold. “How is it?”
Money can make ghosts work.
Until now there were quite a few married women whom he had recruited with money.
He was willing to offer up to ten nyang if the young man refused one nyang of gold.
Considering the woman’s picturesque beauty he didn’t think it was worth it.
Wol-ah and Geum-ah glared at the middle-aged man with harsh eyes.
However since Zhang Zhou was talking he did not dare to intervene.
When Shim-Tong was about to step forward Yeon Jeok-Ha raised his hand to stop him and said:
“Hey you said it was the sub-ark of the Hwangryongbang right? He’s an elusive guy judging by what he does. “Hwangryongbang is probably having an affair right?”
“That’s right. But you speak short. No matter how angry you are you have to look after the other person and do it. “Murim people are different from ordinary people. When they get angry they start by cutting instead of cursing.”
As Jang Do-woo gave polite advice Yeon Je-ha suddenly turned to look at Nangong-yeon.
“Did you see this person talking? “Isn’t he really vague?”
Then Namgoongyeon smiled and nodded her head.
“I see.”
Shen Tong who was listening to the conversation asked Yeon Jeok-ha.
“Confucius what do you mean is ambiguous?”
“Look look. These people are mean-spirited people who treat someone else’s wife in front of her family but they are trying to solve it with money not power. If Bu Bangju had used his power he would have been sent to my ancestors right away. But he pretends to be polite even after being embarrassed by me. Of course if they make a mistake they will eventually use their power… but they still try to compromise with money. Ambiguous bastards. “Kill these people and save them?”
Then Sim Tong looked at Nam Gung-yeon’s eyes and said.
“He’s a guest of the Confederacy so killing him would be a bit weird… How about I take him out and send him off well?”
“Do you want to? Sister is that okay? “If she’s offended I’ll just feed the fish in Soho.”
“I don’t really care. “More than that people like that are guests of the Confederacy so I don’t have the decency to look at you.”
At Namgung-yeon’s words Yeon Jeok-ha waved her hand.
“no. Don’t say that. When did the Confederacy listen to us? “Take old man Shim out and send Tyler a good night.”
For some reason Jang Do-woo didn’t feel good about the conversation between the young man and his family.
They didn’t have Hwangryongbang in mind at all.
‘Could it be that they weren’t ordinary people?’
While Jang Do-woo was wondering about their identity Shim Tong stood up and let out a loud noise.
―I say that Gucheonnodo is also a heartthrob. Those two people are Seok Kyeong-jang’s head and matriarch. From now on don’t say a word and follow me quietly.
Jang Do-woo who was shocked for a moment knelt down and tried to apologize.
But before that Simtong grabbed him with a dark mirror and prevented him from moving.
Soon Simtong sent a message to him again.
-He told me to shut up and follow him. If you say a word they will make you fish food. Will you follow me quietly?
When Jang Do-woo nodded vigorously Shen Tong released his dark mirror.
Shen Tong took Jang Do-woo and approached the place where Huanglong Bang was gathered.
After a while Sim Tong and the Hwangryongbang bandits rushed out.
Shim Tong returned to his seat only after half an hour (an hour) had passed.
Yeon Jeok-ha who was sniffing his nose spoke with a skeptical look on his face.
“Are you sure you sent Tyler well?”
“Of course. Still they say they are guests of the Confederacy.”
“But why does your body stink?”
“Do you smell it?”
As Simtong smelled his body with his nose Wolah asked quietly.
“Master did you take those people to the back and scold them?”
“Are you crazy? “Why do I go to that dirty place?”
“But why does it smell like a back yard?”
“This is done by using a variety of methods until the Ark and Sub-Ark are exhausted.”
Wol-ah and Geum-ah shook their heads with expressions of disgust.
Yeon Jeok-ha pointed out Shim-tong’s handling of the matter with a dissatisfied look on his face.
“You should have explained the strategies well as well. “They must all be the same.”
“Shouldn’t you leave behind people to carry the two guys?”
“I should have broken at least one arm. They are equally bad guys but is it okay for someone to bleed and someone to be fine? no? When I see old man Shim working I feel old now. They say ‘The net in the sky is so big and wide that it doesn’t fall in even if it seems flimsy [天網恢恢 疏而不失]’”
“that….”
Sim Tong tried to say something but swallowed it.
In fact since he was a guest of the Confederacy he had his own situation in his own hands.
But it was difficult to say such things in front of Namgoongyeon.
“What is that?”
“no. As I get older it seems I have become unnecessarily generous. “I will make it right.”
The heartache came out quickly without anyone having time to stop it.
At this time he was so quick that it was hard to believe his age.
Yeon Ji-an asked Nam Gung-yeon with a puzzled look.
“Where did Mom and Grandpa Sim go?”
“I left because I had urgent work to do. “I’ll be back soon.”
As she said the heartache returned in just a few days (about 20 minutes).
Yeon Jeok-ha fired at Sim Tong who was out of breath.
“What are you so upset about? “I can’t say anything because I’m scared.”
“It’s better than sitting still and listening to nagging. “It almost makes my ears prick up.”
“so? “Did you explain it well?”
“Yes now Hwangryongbang will start a fight just by meeting women.”
“good job.”
Only then did a satisfied smile appear on Yeonjeokha’s face.
***
The day before the Qingming Festival Martial Arts Competition.
Confederacy.
Around noon three warriors approached Nammyeong.
One of the Confederate security guards said as he blocked the soldiers’ path.
“welcome. “Excuse me but which wave are you from?”
Currently the Confederacy was in a situation where only VIPs were allowed in because there were too many external guests.
Jang Dou the iron-blooded swordsman with his arms wrapped in white cotton spoke bluntly.
“This is Huang Longbang’s Bu Bangju and others from Zhejiang Province.”
Then the guard warrior let the people of Hwangryongbang inside without saying a word.
The commander-in-chief was busy moving around after receiving the news that Hwang Ryongbang had arrived.
Guest hall.
Jang Do-woo and his party visited a high-ranking official of the Confederation in front of the guest hall.
On behalf of the Commander-in-Chief Mo Yong-gak went to the guest hall and greeted the Hwangryongbang masters.
“welcome. This is Musketeer Moyonggak. “You were looking for a Confederate official?”
Jang Do-woo cried out with a rough face.
“I came to convey the Lord’s words: ‘Hwangryongbang will return to Zhejiang Province.’”
Mo Yong-gak surprised by that asked back.
“Yeah? He’s dead? Tomorrow is the martial arts competition so why do you want to come all the way here? If you have an issue with accommodations we will prepare accommodations for your guests. It may be difficult to stay as a guest but in a nearby private house…..”
“It’s not a problem like sleeping.”
“What happened?”
Only then did Mo Yong-gak carefully examine the condition of the Hwangryongbang masters.
All three had their arms wrapped in cotton cloth as if they were broken.
“What happened? “Something really big happened.”
Jang Do-woo told a slightly adapted version of what happened in Soho last night.
“…So I invited the women’s association to join us. The girl who seemed to be having a fight refused. He even said that since the women’s association was silent he would give her a piece of gold as a reward. She swears to heaven that she has never exerted any pressure. “Our Hwangryongbang is not a Sapa and moreover we were invited by the Southern Alliance. Would you have done something like that in the Southern Alliance’s front yard?”
“Of course not. If that was the case the Confederacy would not have treated me as an honored guest. “Did that happen because you were fighting with them?”
For a moment Mo Yong-gak thought ‘This may be Ho Cheon-maeng’s masterpiece’ and sided with Hwang Ryong-bang.
“exactly. One of them an old man tortured Lord Bangju and me by beating us up. Then he disappeared and came back and broke both of our arms.”
“omg! How could they do such an outrageous thing…. Who are they? How dare you hurt the distinguished guests of the Southern Alliance at Hefei!”
Then Jang Do-woo asked with an expression that suggested he had been caught.
“Do you think there is a problem with the old man’s behavior?”
“Of course. To hurt someone with something like that… it’s usually difficult to do without malicious intent. Who are you? “The South will investigate and ensure that there is no injustice whatsoever.”
Mo Yong-gak who believed them to be experts of the Hocheon Meng shouted loudly.
“The old man himself said that Gu Cheon-ro was also heartbroken.”
For a moment Mo Yong-gak was silent like a mute.
Gucheonnodo is also in heartache?
I never dreamed his name would pop up here.
Jang Do-woo said self-mockingly with a wry smile.
“As you may have guessed our Lord the Lord fell in love with us at first sight and the women’s association who asked us to join them was unprecedented. How could something like that have happened if he had already revealed that he was the 10 Warlords? However the Sipjeonmuhu and the Namcheon Daehyup hid their true identity until the end and in the end our Hwangryongbang suffered humiliation from the Gucheonnodo. Did you say you were the commander of Moyonggak? Can you resolve our injustice as you promised? “If you do that I will somehow persuade Lord Bang to attend the Southern Alliance’s martial arts conference.”
After thinking for a while Mo Yong-gak asked thoughtfully.
“What does Vice Lord want?”
“It is true that we did not know and were rude to the Ten War Empresses so I will not expect much from you. If Gucheonnodo apologizes to Lord Ark and me I will treat it as if nothing had happened.”
In fact to the martial arts people Gucheonnodo Simtong was a person of great fortune.
Nokrim’s ordinary Madu is treated like an elder of the martial arts community so it’s only natural.
Among those who knew Shim Tong’s miserable past there were many who thought that Shim Tong was doing well.
The Hwangryongbang warriors who suffered from Simtong were of that type.
They readily accepted being humiliated by Yeon Jeok-ha but were trembled at the heartache.
Mo Yong-gak’s heart sank at Jang Do-woo’s suggestion.
‘It’s impossible to touch the Yan Daehyup and the Ten Warlords but if it’s heartbreaking…’
Somehow it seemed possible.
This is because Simtong was a madu called Gumilbokgeom Shenyanggak in the past.
He was not belittling his martial arts skills but thought ‘If it were his heart he could bow his head for the Confederacy.’
“All right. Please trust and wait for the Confederacy. “I will definitely come back with good results.”
