Episode 1412. My uncle! Please save my father!
Seokgyeongjang’s main house.
Yeon Ji-an a peerless beauty called Hae-e-hwa pointed to a young man in his mid-twenties and spoke.
“Father mother this is Lee Man-yang Sohyeop the second Confucius of Hebi Geonwonpyoguk Lee Won-deuk. I found out about it at Cheonah Lake three months ago but it was only today that I was introduced to it. Greetings to this small cooperative. “They are my parents.”
Cheonah Lake is a fairly large lake in Hefei.
It seems that after going in and out of Hebi like that he finally made eye contact with the man.
Lee Man who was nervous quickly lowered his head and hit the floor with her forehead.
‘thud!’ The sound rang through the main house.
“My name is Man-yang Lee.”
He only glared at the man with a gaze that could melt a golden stone but did not open his mouth.
Nam Gung-yeon smiled and gestured with her hand.
“Nice to meet you at this small cooperative. Please sit comfortably. “I heard that Geonwonpyo-guk has two sons who are devoted to the Lord of the State… It is indeed worthy of such a statement.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Lee Man-yang felt proud in her heart at the words of Nam Gung-yeon the 10 War Muhu.
But even for a moment his expression darkened.
This is because of Namcheon Yeon Jeok-ha’s murderous expression as if he were looking at a highwayman.
As the atmosphere calmed down Nam Gung-yeon poked Yeon Jeok-ha’s side with her elbow.
“I came to greet you from afar so please say something too.”
As she entered her forties Namgung-yeon referred to Yeon Jeok-ha as you in front of others.
Yeonjeokha who was holding her reluctantly opened her mouth.
“How old are you?”
“I’m twenty-six.”
“Do you have such a deep relationship with Jian that you go to the other person’s family to say hello?”
“It’s not enough… but we promised to be together in the future.”
For a moment a sudden ‘Bang!’ I hit the table so that it made a sound.
“You promised your future in just three months?”
Lee Man-yang who was surprised by Yeon Jeok-ha’s anger shrugged his shoulders and Yeon Ji-an came out.
“Did you forget that your father Soyun got engaged to someone she met for a little over a month? Compared to So-yoon the period of meeting is twice as long. “Soyun is also doing well.”
“Soyun!”
Yeonjeokha shouted but could not continue speaking.
This is because as her daughter said her eldest brother’s adopted daughter Yeonseon-yoon became in a relationship with Jo Hyeon-deok within a month and a half.
When she thought of Jo Hyeon-deok her temper soared.
However she said she was the one who sent Jo Hyeon-deok as a military attaché so who should she blame?
As the atmosphere became tense Nam Gung-yeon gently held Yeon Jeok-ha’s hand.
Her trembling body let out a long exhalation to calm down her anger.
She said she was the child in her arms and her daughter who had listened to her so well when she was young was like a stranger today.
She no she wasn’t exactly like other people.
If she were someone else she wouldn’t have dared to talk back clearly.
She gave up half of her expectations and asked Miss Lee Man.
“So what are you doing?”
“Now I am helping Pyo-guk with my brother. “We plan to become independent by opening a branch of Geonwonpyo Bureau in Nanjing soon.”
“So you’re saying you want to become the owner of a branch.”
“yes.”
“….”
Yeonjeokha looked at Yeonjian with disapproving eyes.
After shaking off the squirming boy he came back from the lake with the owner of the fish soup in his mouth.
The daughter of Namcheon Yeonjeokha and the Sipjeonmuhu Namgungyeon and the daughter called Haeeohwa in Namjikryeseong Fortress ended up with the owner of the Pyo-guk store.
If I had known this would happen I would have looked for a partner among the hawks who came and went last year.
But the water has already been spilled.
Until now once her daughter made a decision she never changed it.
Even so the son-in-law who would be his son-in-law was not exactly what he wanted so a heavy sigh came out of Yeon Jeok-ha’s mouth.
At that time Namgoongyeon smiled and said.
“Don’t be like that. “But you didn’t date the man from Green Forest like everyone else did.”
He burst into laughter at her words.
That’s because he was talking about himself in his younger days.
“Ma’am but wasn’t I nice?”
“This small group doesn’t seem like a bad person so trust Jian’s insight.”
“Anyway that’s true. “It’s been three months since we met…”
Yeon Jeok-ha who was in tears while speaking glared at Lee Man-yang.
If he didn’t have his daughter by his side he would have missed the mark.
Man-yang Lee couldn’t even breathe properly due to the murderous look in his eyes.
Yeon Ji-an saw that and screamed.
“father! Stop it! “This small group is also a precious child of another family!”
Yeonjeok was shocked when her daughter whom she had raised with great care shouted at her for her other man.
However since it was not wrong he lived his life without saying anything.
An awkward silence filled the main house.
Nam Gung-yeon who is called the 10 greatest warriors could not easily speak.
She only clenched her empty fists in frustration.
In fact he knew that in the end everything would go as her daughter wanted.
Maybe that’s why I became more angry.
Marriage is the most important thing in her life.
This wouldn’t have happened if they had given me a little hint before making the decision.
After thinking that far Yeonjeokha turned her gaze to her daughter.
“Why didn’t you tell us when you met this man? “You can do as much as you want without notifying the results in this way….”
“I don’t think there was anyone that caught my father’s eye. During that time there were more than 30 hawks who came and went to Seokgyeongjang. But my father didn’t listen to a single person and just sent him away.”
“You were young back then….”
“I was twenty years old father. Yeonji got married at the age of 20.”
It is said that a woman lives long at her 60th birthday so she was a woman in her 20s.
Namgung-yeon who was listening to her father and daughter unconsciously shouted ‘Foot!’ And she let out a laugh.
The argument between father and daughter continued for a long time and ended in Yeon Jeok-ha’s complete defeat.
Even the best people of all times could not overcome their children.
The marriage of Yeon Ji-an and Lee Man-yang proceeded quickly.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Gung-yeon announced their only daughter’s marriage to their relatives.
It has been nineteen years since Yeon Jeok-ha went into seclusion.
Since most of the senior experts he knew had died no one was invited.
Still I don’t know how they knew but the leaders of the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance kept coming to visit.
Their purpose was to find out whether Yeon Jeok-ha of Namcheon had any intentions toward martial arts or not.
However they did not show the slightest interest in them.
This is because his own actions are comparable to natural disasters in this world.
The leader of the Southern Alliance was disappointed by Yeon Jeok-Ha’s attitude and the leader of the Hocheon Alliance was heartbroken.
After marriage Yeon Ji-an left for Nanjing with Lee Man-yang.
This is why when Lee Man-yang married Yeon Ji-an Geonwonpyoguk immediately opened a branch in Nanjing.
When his daughter left for Nanjing Yeon Jeok-ha returned to Soho to go fishing.
Of course Namgung-yeon spent time in her seogak.
When Yeon Jeok-ha missed her daughter she took Nam Gung-yeon with her and flew to Nanjing with her Unjong Sul.
She said that time had passed and she no longer felt angry when she saw her son-in-law.
When winter came Taegi came to Yeon Ji-an.
But he was more worried about his daughter than the baby in her womb.
She collected everything that was good for pregnant women and sent it to Nanjing.
The day the first snow fell.
As dusk fell a young man knocked on the tightly closed door of Seokgyeongjang.
It looks like the snow has piled up on the hat and the rough breathing has been running non-stop.
After a while a young worker carefully opened the door and asked:
“Who are you?”
“This is Jin Jae-young from Gaebong. “She is Lord Jang’s cousin and niece.”
“ah! I see. “Please come in.”
The worker quickly guided Jin Jae-young to her main house.
While Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Gung-yeon were having dinner a worker’s voice was heard outside the door.
“A person named Jin Jae-young came to visit us at the opening of Jangju.”
As soon as the worker finished speaking the door opened and Yeon Jeok-ha came out onto the floor.
Yeon Jeok-ha who discovered Jin Jae-young asked in surprise.
“Jaeyoung! “What brings you to Namjikrye Fortress in this cold weather?”
Jin Jae-young was the eldest son of her younger cousin Lee Yu-hwa.
There has been little news since the funeral of my mother-in-law and aunt so what happened all of a sudden?
She said as Namgung-yeon came out late and saw Jin Jae-young standing in her yard.
“Don’t stand there in the cold. Come inside first.”
Only then did Yeonjeokha urge Jin Jaeyoung and lead him to her room.
As soon as Jin Jae-young entered her room she bowed deeply to Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon.
And she opened her mouth with a sorrowful face.
“His maternal uncle’s father was taken away for treason.”
“Jin Woo-saeng committed a rebellion?”
Yeon Jeok-ha asked back with a puzzled expression.
Jin Woo-saeng is a faithful official who started out as a small flag in the Gaebong branch of the Jinuiwi and rose to the rank of Cheonho in Nanjing.
Are you saying that he committed a traitor because he had something to regret?
“My father is not like that. According to the military officers who followed his father he became a victim of the secret struggle between General Namok and General Jinwi.”
“What do you mean by that? “A scapegoat?”
“In late fall Lee Seung a member of the Gyaseongbyeongpiltaegam (司禮秉筆太監) suddenly passed away. Everyone said he died of old age but General Namok came forward and claimed that he was poisoned. And he pointed out the Namjin warrior who last met Lee Seung as the mastermind behind the poisoning. He is his father’s immediate superior.”
“So Jin Woo-saeng got caught up in it.”
“yes. The Northern Jin of the Geumuiwi supported General Namok and the Southern Jin supported General Jinwi. However most of the government officials have gone over to General Nam-ok’s side… so there is no one who can resolve the injustice of Namjin warrior and his father who was protecting him.”
“If you are General Jinyu are you talking about Feng Seung?”
“yes. “He is fearful that the tip of General Namok’s sword will be pointed at him.”
As Jin Jae-young finished his story he turned his attention to Nam Gung-yeon.
“What does she think ma’am?”
Namgoongyeon answered without the slightest hesitation.
“This issue is not just a conflict between General Jinyu and General Namok.”
“Are you saying there is a bigger problem?”
“General Jin Wei can be said to be Emperor Tang Jin’s closest associate. However the large and small officials of the government are giving strength to General Namok. And General Namok is from the emperor’s uncle’s side.”
“Does that mean the emperor and his uncle are engaged in a secret struggle?”
“I’m sure it will.”
“Looking at the fact that Namjin warriors and Jinwoosaeng were captured… does that mean the emperor’s side is being pushed back?”
As Yeon Jeok-ha muttered to himself Namgung-yeon added an explanation.
“The emperor’s authority and foundation would have collapsed due to the acceptance of Yumyeonggyo into the imperial palace.”
“Could the responsibility for the poisoning go up to General Jinyu?”
“The emperor’s uncle will use this opportunity to get rid of General Jinyu.”
Yeon Jeok-ha who was shaking his head asked with a curious look.
“No but was Inspector General Piltae poisoned? “If he had died in the fall it would have been months later and difficult to prove.”
“Just raising suspicion is half the success. To prove it you can dig up his body later and poison it.”
“Wow this is why I’m scared of smart people.”
Yeon Jeok-ha shook his head.
According to Namgung-yeon’s words the fate of Nam Jin warrior and Jin Woo-saeng was as obvious as seeing fire.
“My uncle! Please save my father! If this continues my father might be beheaded!”
“Oh but Jin Woo-saeng is my brother-in-law so I’m not going that far. Right? ma’am?”
However Namgoongyeon’s answer was different from what he expected.
“The current Geumui Committee will be different from the Geumui Committee you used to know. It’s been a long time since the commanding officer of the Geumuiui Committee changed and everyone you knew has resigned from their positions. furthermore….”
“What else is left?”
“Unlike General Jinwi General Namok is a person who stays away from martial arts. Your relationship with the imperial family ended twenty years ago. “High and low officials may know your name but expecting more is greedy.”
This means that Jin Woo-saeng could be beheaded.
The atmosphere which had been somewhat light compared to the content of the conversation became heavy.
Namgoongyeon added as if to confirm.
“Why are you looking like that? “If ten more years pass here it will be difficult to find a martial artist who is afraid of Seok Kyeong-jang.”
