Episode 1416. How about running away now?
Yeon Jeok-ha said ‘Before I was released’ but Jin Woo-saeng was released the next morning.
Warrior Namjin who was accused of poisoning Gyeongyeongpiltaegam was also released in the evening.
Jin Woo-saeng and Nam Jin Musa met with Gyeongseong Pil-tae-gam but it seems very strange that they only put Nam Jin Musa on the line.
Three days later Jin Woo-saeng and his superior Nam Jin-musa visited Seok Gyeong-jang greeted Gu Myeong-ji-eun and returned.
Belatedly the young emperor sent the governor of the state Wang Yan to Seokgyeongjang to invite Namcheon Yeon Jeokha to the imperial palace but Yeon Jeokha did not respond to the emperor’s call.
Meanwhile General Namok Yang Jaeseung began to join the ranks of his subordinates.
It was rumored that the destruction of the Namok General Command Center was caused by an accident while trying to improve the artillery at the beginning of the new year.
That day a story was briefly circulated that ‘a huge sword appeared in the sky of General Namok’ but it disappeared in vain.
In fact no matter who heard it the ‘explosion of the artillery’ was more convincing than the ‘giant sword’.
Of course it might have been different if I had known that the land of General Namok was divided in a straight line.
However no one was big enough to go to General Namok’s military headquarters a powerful figure in the royal court to check the site of the artillery explosion.
Regardless of Yang Jae-seung’s desperate efforts to control his situation his prestige fell.
Above all the cause of the trouble was the release of Namjin Musa and Jin Woo-saeng who were all captured.
This is because Jinwi General Pungseung was revived as a knight.
When the plan went awry the dignitaries of Hwang Suk’s camp bitten Yang Jae-seung.
“Is there a law in the world where you let go of all the fish you catch?”
“General Nam-ok made matters worse so only General Jinyu got better!”
“Who will believe us like this? General Namok made fools of us!”
“I am very worried that General Namok may have defected.”
“From the beginning General Namok was not capable of handling this task.”
Yang Jae-seung silently endured all the criticism from high-ranking officials.
Furthermore Yang Jaeseung who was discouraged did not wield tyranny like before.
Then he took responsibility for the failure and took a step back from the front line.
Naturally the era of Yang Jae-seung passed and a person named Gwanghyo emerged in Hwang Suk’s camp.
Gwanghyo was as unstoppable as Yang Jaeseung in the past.
Not long after the wind of purge came to the Geumwiwi Committee.
The Geumui Committee which did not stand on Hwang Suk’s side was divided under various excuses whether to go south or north.
But strangely only Jin Woo-saeng preserved his position.
However this does not mean that the grade has improved.
Even while the Geumuiwi which belonged to Namjin was removed from office numerous times Jin Usaeng firmly maintained his position as Cheonho (千戶).
***
After Jin Woo-saeng no more incidents occurred around Yeon Jeok-ha.
Following the martial arts Gwanbu also became gentle in areas related to Seokgyeongjang.
Seok Kyeong-jang was alone and quiet in a world being swept away by turbulent waves.
Just as summer was approaching Yeon Ji-an gave birth to a daughter.
She flew to Nanjing using Unjong liquor with her lover Namgung-yeon.
Nanjing.
Geonwonpyoguk branch.
Yeon Jeok-ha’s expression as he looked at his only daughter and granddaughter was strange.
Because she changed the fate of her daughter who was to become her widow she even gave birth to her granddaughter who would never have been there originally!
A different emotion came over me than that of creating something out of something I had gained.
His heart aches when he sees a creature that can’t even open its eyes.
The son-in-law was still not in love with her but he was no stranger to his granddaughter.
Although she cannot be compared to her daughter there is something about her that makes her different.
“What is your name?”
Son-in-law Lee Man-yang who was paying attention to Yeon Jeok-ha’s question answered carefully.
“My grandfather named me Seol-ah Lee.”
She nodded with a satisfied look on her face.
She was willing to throw away any strange names like Haeng-yeo or Iman-yang but it was a good thing.
Before returning to Seokgyeongjang Yeonjeokha secretly channeled her spiritual energy to her daughter – even though she knew it would soon disappear.
It was because she was worried about her daughter who was weakened from giving birth to her baby.
She felt a little frustrated at times like this that she was the only one allowed to reiki in this world.
After her granddaughter was born Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Gung-yeon fell in love with the fun of seeing her granddaughter.
For such parents Yeon Ji-an often visited Seok-gyeong Market with her daughter.
Seokgyeongjang which was quiet without knowing whether there were people or not was lively at that time.
When Lee Seol-ah who was crawling on all fours turned ten a coup took place in the country.
Although Nanjing was embroiled in war Yeogang County was at peace.
Neither the emperor’s army nor the Jingnan army entered Lujiang County.
The war that lasted for several years eventually ended with the victory of the Jeongnan army.
Hwang Suk who had ascended to the position of emperor she had longed for for a long time abandoned Nanjing for some reason and moved the imperial capital to Bukjik Ryeseong.
Nanjing which lost its imperial capital status – like other ancient imperial capitals – gradually went down the path of decline.
Namjikryeseong itself was pushed from the center of the continent to the outskirts.
Still the lives of ordinary people continued without stopping.
Namjin Cheonho Jin Woo-saeng could not be called to Bukjikryeseong and spent his time leisurely at the Nanjing branch.
Jin Yu-saeng who suffered hardships due to his being falsely accused of being a traitor was rather satisfied with that kind of life.
Even if it goes down the road of decline Nanjing’s wealth does not go anywhere.
The Nanjing branch of Geonwonpyo Bureau also changed its name to Seopungpyo Bureau and became independent.
By that time there were no more Yeon Jeok-ha’s sworn brothers left in Obongsanchae.
This is because they either retired from the forest as they got older or died from old age.
Naturally the traffic between Obongsanchae and Yeonjeokhe was cut off.
Even in Nokrim no one remembered Obongsibgeol anymore.
It’s been thirty years since Yeon Je-he left his home in Jianghu.
Now Seokgyeongjang is gradually being forgotten from people’s minds.
Since her mother’s wife died from old age about ten years ago she has lost contact with her cousins.
However only Jin Woo-saeng and his wife who live in Nanjing came to visit and say hello during holidays.

Hapbi.
Yeoganghyeon Seokgyeongjang.
One summer evening when heavy rain was pouring down.
This man and woman appeared in front of the tightly closed door of Seokgyeongjang.
She no she jumped under her eaves where her gate was to be exact.
All three people appeared to be in their early twenties.
Although it was wet with rain the men worshiped like dragons and the women looked as beautiful as bongs.
Although the genders were different they had one thing in common.
That’s because they all wear stylish swords at their waists.
A young man dressed in colorful silk clothes spoke to his companions.
“It seems impossible to find a guest house at the bottom of a mountain like this. “How about staying a night at this manor?”
“I think that would be a good idea.”
The eyes of the white-robed beauty turned to the young man in the blue robe.
The young man in Cheongpo also nodded his head.
In fact it is difficult for them to keep wandering around in the rain even if they are martial arts people.
Rumbling———-!
As the thunder and lightning struck loudly a signboard reading ‘Seokgyeongjang’ was briefly visible.
Hyejin the beauty in white the Oknyeo frowned slightly at her pretty Ami.
‘Seokgyeongjang?’
It was the same as the name of the manor built by the master who had ruled the martial arts world long before she was born.
In her vague memories Hyejin could barely recall the name ‘Namcheon Yeonjeokha’ who was once called the greatest person of all time.
Gong Cheon-baek a young man dressed in silk and a thunder cloud god was about to knock on the door.
“Wait a minute!”
Yeo Hye-jin hurriedly stopped him.
Hearing Hyejin’s urgent words Gongcheon Baek stopped her movements and turned her head.
“What’s the problem?”
Just then lightning split the night sky once again.
An old signboard appeared but was soon buried in darkness.
Yeo Hye-jin asked pointing to the signboard.
“Have you seen the name of the manor?”
Gong Cheon-baek raised his head but could not see because his view was blocked by the door frame.
Shingeomseosaeng Ju Musaeng a young man from Cheongpo who was one step away from the gate answered.
“I saw it. It’s Seokgyeongjang… Ah! Do you think this is the stone field in Hefei?”
“Since we entered Yeoganghyeon yesterday it is highly likely that it is the Seokgyeongjang.”
Hearing her words Gong Tianbaek and Zhou Wusheng said nothing for a moment.
Seokgyeongjang.
Of course it is a name that comes to mind only if you remember it but even among those who have been involved in martial arts there is no one who does not know Seok Kyeong-jang.
The manor where Namcheon Yeon Jeok-ha who was called the greatest person of all time and modern times retired 30 years ago.
There is a lot of controversy in later generations about its authenticity but in any case it is said that he alone fought and defeated five of the world’s top ten masters.
Even taking into account the bubbles it is clear that he was a great expert.
Gong Cheon-baek spoke excitedly later.
“I heard that Namcheon Daehyup is classified as a political faction but has not committed any evil deeds. Since the weather is like this I will let you stay for a day. Is it really necessary to eat us? “If you think it’s really dangerous it won’t be too late to run away.”
Yeo Hye-jin glanced at Joo Moosaeng.
Although the three people’s skills were similar on the surface she intuitively knew that Zhou Mu-saeng was hiding something.
So she thought she would listen to his opinion and then decide.
Zhou Wusheng said in a calm tone.
“I agree with what Brother Gong said. “No matter how strong we are if we decide to run away they won’t be able to stop us.”
Hyejin smiled when she even said that to the person she trusted.
“It’s reassuring to hear you two say that. “I will also follow your opinions.”
In fact it was not strange for Oknyeo Sword Yeo Hye-jin Thunder God Gong Cheon-baek Shin Sword Seo-saeng and Joo Mu-saeng to show such confidence as the divinity of martial arts.
Soon Gong Cheon-baek knocked on the door with his closed fist.
bang. bang. bang.
However it was hard to hear because it was drowned out by the loud sound of the rain.
It is time for Gongcheonbaek who had been listening to internal trends to knock on the door again.
Suddenly ‘clunk!’ The heavy gate opened with a sound.
Gong Cheon-baek was startled without realizing it and took a step back.
I didn’t hear any footsteps until just now so how did I get to the front gate?
Eventually the elderly man poked out his face and asked.
“Who are you tonight?”
There was tension on the faces of the three people as they quickly glanced at the gatekeeper.
This is because there was not a single drop of water on the clothes of the man who must have just crossed the yard.
Gong Tianbaek swallowed dry saliva and said.
“We are strong-armed or rather I am a thunder cloud god and Gongcheonbaek. While these two were on a strong journey they teamed up and worked together….”
Pung Woonbi interrupted the young man’s lengthy explanation and asked.
“Are you here to avoid the rain?”
“That’s right. If it’s inconvenient I’ll just go back…”
“Please come in.”
Feng Yunbi opened the door without waiting for the young man to finish speaking.
This man and woman entered her without hesitation.
Pungwoonbi closed the gate and spoke to the young people.
“I am the commander-in-chief of Seok Kyeong-jang. I will tell Jangju well so please stay in the guesthouse. “Follow me.”
After finishing speaking Pung Woon-bi walked ahead scrambling.
Shoot!
Although it was pouring down rain the raindrops bounced just outside of Pungwoonbi’s body.
The faces of the three people who saw that turned white.
The commander-in-chief is so casually displaying the self-defense skills that only appear in legends!
I don’t know if this is the only way to escape from Seokgyeongjang in case of emergency.
Pung Woonbi who guided the three people to the guesthouse suddenly asked.
“Have you had dinner?”
Zhou Wusheng answered politely.
“I haven’t eaten yet because I’m wandering in the mountains.”
“Hmm! I guess so. I would like to treat you to dinner but as you can see the weather is like this… I think it will be difficult to invite Chanmo to rest. Since you are going strong do you have any provisions to carry with you? If not I will give you at least some dry food.”
“We have some dry food so you don’t have to worry about our meals.”
“I understand. Well then get some rest tonight. “I can say hello to Lord Jang tomorrow.”
After speaking Feng Yunbi disappeared into the heavy rain without even looking back.
Gong Cheon-baek who was staring blankly at the scene spoke with an anxious face.
“Have you ever heard any bad rumors about Seok Kyung-jang?”
Yeo Hye-jin asked back in surprise.
“A bad rumor?”
“Once you enter you can’t get out… or something like arresting uninvited guests and serving them as servants for the rest of your life.”
The bans of the martial arts group were generally infamous for such actions.
Surprised by the commander-in-chief’s inaction Gongcheonbaek’s head turned in that direction.
Yeo Hye-jin’s eyes habitually turned to Joo Moosaeng.
Then Joo Moosaeng shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t know.
Yeo Hye-jin a peerless beauty who was momentarily shocked looked at the two people in turn and asked.
“How about running away now?”
Shoot!
The conversation between the man and the woman was drowned out by the sound of the heavy rain pouring down on her.
