Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1403

Episode 1403. Process, results of small choices

A situation contrary to last year unfolded.

For example last year military personnel were dispatched from Hocheonmaeng to Namjikrye Province but now they have been sent from Nammaeng to Henam Province.

Ahead of the martial arts competition big and small fights broke out between the Hocheon Alliance and the South Alliance near Henam Province.

This is not an attack on a specific blast wave.

If that were the case both sides would have gathered together at the same time and had a big fight.

The Southern Alliance’s four divisions (emissaries) dispersed and roamed around Henam Province and the Hocheon Alliance soldiers had no choice but to respond by splitting their numbers.

The South Alliance’s obstruction continued until the day before the Dragon Boat Festival martial arts competition.

However when Dragon Boat Festival arrived he disappeared as if it had never happened.

And then the Hocheonmaeng martial arts competition began.

Due to interference from the Confederacy the number of participants was lower than expected.

Even so as expected from the martial arts clan there were more than the Southern Alliance martial arts competition.

The dance competition lasted for as long as 15 days.

It was largely the result of being conscious of the Southern Alliance’s martial arts competition but there were so many participants that it was unavoidable.

Seven supernovas emerged through the Hocheonmaeng martial arts competition.

Hocheonmaeng called the seven strong men the Hocheonchigun.

When the martial arts competition on both sides ended people debated over the question ‘Who is stronger among the Four Great Heavenly Kings of the Southern Alliance and the Seven Kings of the Hocheon Alliance?’

“The Confederacy is stronger. Hu Tian Meng should have done the rubbing once more but he stopped because he wanted to look like he was more than the Four Great Heavenly Kings. “It is a result of the final step being omitted so the Hocheon Seven Lords cannot be called the strongest.”

“You have to think about the number of participants. There were a lot more Hocheonmaengs so there were seven left until the final stage. “We’ve been fighting for five days longer than the Confederacy so why stop?”

“There is a saying that all those in hiding flocked to the South. I was very disappointed with Chilpaimun’s actions so far. See you at Yumyeonggyo. “The Southern Alliance fought but the Hocheon Alliance was holding its breath.”

“Well then they are frogs in the well. Even hidden India cannot follow the thousands of years of history of the Chilpaimun. Do you think Chilpaimun is the lord of the martial arts clan for no reason? “Because he was strong he served as the master of the martial arts kingdom.”

“There’s no need for it. Soon we will become the Confederate world. Why? Did everyone forget? In the South there is the Namcheon Grand Hyeop. Is there a master in Hocheon Alliance who can surpass Namcheon Daehyup? doesn’t exist. Namcheon Daehyup is said to be the best master of all time and modern times having defeated the joint attacks of five of the world’s top ten masters. If Namcheon Daehyup clears his throat once Hocheonmaeng will be in trouble. But what? Hocheonchilgun? “I can guarantee you that it won’t even be in the minds of the South.”

“You don’t know anything about that. It is true that Namcheon Daehyup is the best in ancient times but Seokgyeongjang of Namcheon Daehyup has nothing to do with the Nammyeong. You think that’s it? Until recently the relationship between Namcheon Daehyup and the King of Swords was so bad that they even disowned each other. Once trust is broken it is difficult to go back to the way it was before. “Get rid of the idea that the Namcheon Grand Association will support the South Alliance.”

“Hey hey. Have you ever seen an arm bending out? If the Sword King asks Namcheon Daehyup will reluctantly follow along. Are you still saying that after seeing that Mu Geuk-mun was kicked out to Hangzhou last year? “Hocheonmaeng took over Nanjing but withdrew with a single word from Namcheon Grand Hyeop.”

“It is true that it depends on the will of the Namcheon Grand Council.”

“Whether it’s the Namcheon Alliance or the Hocheon Alliance we need to check the intentions of the Namcheon Grand Alliance before we lose or stir-fry right?”

“What confirmation! Namcheon Daehyup did not just wash the gold powder but he has already left Gangho. “Why are you bringing in someone who lived in seclusion at Seokgyeongjang?”

“Who said they left Gangho? “Namcheon Daehyup is not yet 30 years old so why does it sound like a retreat?”

“You have to dip it in it to know if it’s poop or soybean paste? When Namcheon Daehyup went down Mt. Obong he left Kangho. “If you pretend they will understand.”

“What do you know? “If anyone hears this they will think you are a roundworm in the stomach of Namcheon Daehyeop.”

At the end of heated arguments there was always Namcheon Yeon Jeok-ha.

People unanimously said ‘Whether it is the Hocheon Alliance or the South Alliance we must first confirm the intentions of the Namcheon Alliance before starting a war in earnest.’

Namjikryeseong.

Hapbi.

Yeoganghyeon Seokgyeongjang.

Early evening.

Two people were sitting across from each other in the guest room of the main house drinking tea.

This is the room of Seok-gyeong Jang Zhang Ju Namcheon Yeon Jeok-ha and Governor Hocheon Meng who came as his guest.

Originally Gongsun Yilang and Gongsun Qi the great commander of the Hutian Meng should have come but since he had a history of being beaten by Yan Zhehe Gongsun Fang came instead.

After moistening his dry throat with lukewarm tea water Gongsunbang continued speaking.

“…Until the day before the martial arts competition the Southern Alliance was stirring up Henan Province. Last year Hocheonmaeng entered Namjirye Fortress to help Mugeukmun… so we can just say they cancel each other out and move on. However the problem begins now that the martial arts competition for both sides is over. Ho Cheon-maeng has no intention of advancing to Namjirye Castle. However the South… they openly say that they will ‘run the world’. It is said that the Hocheon Alliance eliminated Hwang Ryongbang in order to interfere with the Southern Alliance’s martial arts competition but that is a lie. Our Hocheon Alliance has never been involved in the Southern Alliance’s martial arts competition. However the Nam Meng continues to fight against the Ho Cheon Meng saying that they will avenge Hwang Ryong Bang. “They are trying to use Hwangryongbang’s disappearance as an excuse to advance into the continent.”

Yeon Jeok-ha who had been listening silently opened his mouth.

“I don’t know if you know but Seok Kyung-jang is not a member of the Southern Alliance. Frankly I don’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Southern Alliance and the Hochuan Alliance.”

He distanced himself from the Nammaeng because he knew what the Nammaeng had done to Hwangryongbang. Even Seok Kyeong-jang’s rejoining the Confederacy was put on hold.

“But what if the Sword King asks for help? Are you sure he won’t get involved?”

“The Lord will not ask for help at any time. “I also have no intention of actively getting involved in the problems of the Confederacy.”

“….”

At his words Gongsun Fang seemed to have discovered a faint ray of light in the darkness.

‘The Namcheon Grand Hyeop wants to distance itself from the South Alliance.’

A different atmosphere was felt compared to last year when the Shaolin Temple’s main hall Janggyeonggak and Thousand Buddha Hall were destroyed and the Mugeukmun support unit was driven out of Namjirye Fortress.

“If the Southern Alliance becomes greedy for the continent it will inevitably clash with the Hocheon Alliance.”

“I guess so.”

“Only innocent blood will be shed like during the Yumyeong Cult or the Demon Cult.”

“I don’t think the Confederacy is like them.”

When Yeon Je-he pointed this out Gongsun Fang quickly changed his words.

“Of course I am not saying that the Southern Alliance is the same as the famous or evil religion.”

“To put it bluntly isn’t this a fight that both sides are fighting for their own interests? “Keep what you need to keep but don’t try to have everything.”

This means that you should give what you have to give within a reasonable range.

Gongsunbang was unable to answer.

It was a difficult question for him to answer as he was only a musketeer.

Disputes between superiors are difficult to mediate and even more so are fights over the hegemony of a powerhouse.

Until we know where the appropriate line is we have no choice but to shed blood.

‘Phew! Still I don’t think the Namcheon Grand Association will intervene as strongly as it did last year.’

Knowing that also makes visiting Seokgyeongjang worthwhile.

Gongsunbang talked a little more and then quietly left.

While Yeon Jeok-ha was drinking ice-cold tea Nam Gung-yeon came to see him.

“What are you doing alone?”

“I was just thinking about it.”

“Is it because of the fight between the Hocheon Alliance and the Southern Alliance?”

“yes.”

Namgung-yeon went up to the floor of the guest room and sat down opposite Yeon Jeok-ha and said.

“I have no reason to look at you.”

“Why sister?”

“The reason the Southern Alliance is being overly greedy is because you are the lord’s son-in-law. “If it weren’t for you the Southern Alliance would have been satisfied with the rout of Namjikryeseong.”

“Sister.”

“huh?”

“Even people from the upper world who had nothing to do with me fought fiercely. You also saw the Savior’s sects fighting. Even if I wasn’t the son-in-law of the Namgung family there would have been a fight. “It’s human nature to fight so you don’t have to feel sorry.”

“Was it so?”

“People who fight will fight using any excuse.”

“Like the Confederacy?”

Nam Gung Yeon looked at Yeon Jeok Ha with one meaningful look in her eyes.

She asked as if she was confirming a feeling inside her.

“Did you know too?”

“If you are talking about the disappearance of Hwangryongbang then yes.”

“How did you know that?”

“All the circumstances point to the Confederacy. If you think about the relationship between Old Man Shim and Hwangryongbang Mo Yong-gak… it’s obvious. The Southern Alliance eliminated Huanglongbang which may have hindered its future advancement into Zhejiang Province. Right? But from what you say it seems like you knew right away.”

“On the day that Old Man Shim stepped on Moyong Pavilion he was angry and went to the Southern Alliance… and I heard a conversation between my father-in-law and the Grand Commander.”

“I see. Is that why you never set foot in the Confederacy again?”

“Killing invited guests is rare even in Nokrim. “That’s something only truly evil people do…”

Yeon Jeok-ha trailed off.

If his father-in-law had not been involved he would have exploded a long time ago.

“It’s a mistake you make if you focus on the results rather than the process.”

“My father-in-law told me to look at the forest not the trees.”

“Did you tell your father that you knew about Hwangryongbang’s affairs?”

“no. “I just said ‘I used to envy the Namgung family’s chivalry but now I don’t know what it is’ and he said that.”

“That’s a cowardly excuse. Because trees come together to become a forest. If you look at the process it can be said to be ‘the results of small choices.’ “The process and the result are not different.”

“Are you saying it’s a matter of choice?”

“that’s right. That’s why we must always make the right choice.”

Yeonjeokha nodded.

The day before the Qingming Festival my father-in-law spoke to the Grand Master about ‘choice.’

-It’s just a matter of who you choose to fight. Is it Seokgyeongjang or Hwangryongbang? While Seok Kyeong-jang is a strong friend of the Southern Alliance Hwang Ryong-bang is not a future enemy.

That day my father-in-law made a wrong choice.

He should have judged right and wrong fairly not ‘Who do you choose to fight?’

If he had done so he would not have been asked the embarrassing question by Sim Tong ‘Do you value your husband more than your daughter?’ and he would not have been defeated by Sim Tong.

“Gongsunbang was worried that I would side with Hu Tianmeng like last year. So he said he had no intention of getting actively involved.”

“Hmm. “You said that?”

Namgoongyeon thought for a moment and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Why are you smiling?”

“Maybe we won’t have anything to do with you this time.”

“why?”

“Unless the musketeers of the Hocheon Meng are idiots that would be the case.”

“How?”

“If the top ten leaders of the world retreat it will be difficult for the Southern Alliance to ask for help from you. “Because I can’t invite a world-class expert like you into a fight.”

“Is that so?”

As Yeon Jeok-ha tilted his head Nam Gung-yeon explained in detail.

“If the Hocheon Alliance mobilizes the world’s top ten experts the Southern Alliance will ask for your help right?”

“I guess so right?”

“But what if Ho Tian Meng excludes the top ten masters of the world or the previous masters? So what would happen if we responded to the South Alliance’s provocations with only the disciples of Chilpaimun and martial artists chosen from the martial arts competition?”

“Is it embarrassing for the Confederacy to call me?”

“Even if the Grand Musketeer begs his father’s pride won’t do anything like that. There was a cause when you came forward last year but not now. Rather it would be a shame for both you and the South.”

“Yes of course.”

Yeonjeokha didn’t want to get involved in the fight between the underlings and tell them to leave the boat.

“I’m sure even the commander-in-chief of Ho Tian-meng knows how to use his brain like that.”

I was able to relieve the burden of my heart from being in love with the words of Nam Gung-yeon the 10 war veterans.

She doesn’t yet know if she will get her way.
