Episode 874. It’s like asking the sea to come to the river.
At the words of the Sword King Namgung Byeok, the messengers of the Hocheonmaeng couldn’t help but be discouraged.
In a situation where they have to reach out to Sapa, would the same political faction go their separate ways?
It’s not something I can’t understand when I think of what the Namgung family went through in the past, but it was frustrating nonetheless.
Ma Chun-deok, the swordsman of Seungwoon, looked at Namgung Byeok’s complexion, wondering if that was really the Lord’s sincerity.
‘A person with a lot of strong experience like the Sword King would know the situation of Danggeum Murim…’
Now was the time when cooperation was needed more than ever before.
Therefore, Namgung Byeok could have just said that they should go their separate ways.
Maybe that’s how he expressed his displeasure at the Chilpamun.
So I sneaked a peek at it.
“My lord. Do you have any wishes for our Hocheonmaeng? If there is such a thing, please tell me. We can’t say anything about it here, but as long as we can be with the South, I think we’ll listen to any requirements.”
In fact, this was just a word to show off the opponent.
It is because he is only the head of the Jeongju branch and has no power in the Hocheon alliance.
The experienced Namgung Byeok looked at Ma Chundeok with meaningful eyes.
“Ma Daehyup.”
“yes.”
“I understand Ma Daehyeop’s loyalty. But the Namgung family doesn’t want anything from Hocheonmaeng. This is my message as a Moorim dongdo, but I would appreciate it if you could tell the Mugeuk Merchant not to be in too much of a hurry.”
“Excuse me, may I ask what you are saying about not rushing?”
Ma Chun-deok tilted his head.
It was because I couldn’t tell if it was referring to the Moorim Competition of the Mid-Autumn Festival or something else.
“I mean, don’t rush into fighting the famous cult.”
“However, the Gangho Dongdos are still urging Hocheonmaeng saying that it is too late. Is there any reason not to rush?”
“It’s because the famous religious leaders and alien Yiseon are too strong. It’s going to be difficult for me to deal with them.”
The volcanic faction’s incompetent man intervened, perhaps regretting it.
“My lord. Shouldn’t the Hocheonmaeng and the Nammaeng unite as one? At this rate, the Hocheon League as well as the Southern League would be in trouble.”
“We, the Southern Alliance, are prepared for that, so you don’t have to worry.”
The messengers of the Hocheonmaeng opened their mouths almost at the same time.
“Prepare?”
“What is it?”
“What do you mean preparation?”
Namgung Byeok smiled and said.
“Aren’t there Namcheon and Ten Warlords in our Nammaeng? If they are, they will do a good job blocking the famous cult leader and the foreign ship.”
Disappointed with the typical answer, Bul Yeong-seon carefully rhymed.
“I am well aware of the outstanding abilities of the Namcheon Daehyeop and the Sipjeonmuhu Yeohyeop. However, famous religious leaders and Cheon Oe Cheon are masters of Cheon Oe Cheon who have even neutralized Geumgun. Wouldn’t it be a little too much to do with Namcheon Daehyeop and Empress Dowager Yeohyeop?”
Bulyeongseonja tried to look at the Namgung wall with a calm face.
I said ‘a little too much’ to be polite, but I thought ‘impossible!’ I wanted to shout.
Namgung Byeok only smiled.
He rides on the clouds of his enemies and has nine sword spirits inside his body that can kill even gods.
‘Tsk! I can’t tell you what Yeon Jeok-ha did in Gu-ju…’
Namgung Byeok’s biggest concern now was not the famous religious leader or Yi Seon, but ‘what should I name my granddaughter?’
“I don’t think it’s a bunch. Are you done now?”
“Lord Lord?”
Bulyeongseonja was stunned by Namgung Byeok’s words.
He knew that Yeon Jeok-ha had defeated the Do Commander’s army at Mt. Cheongseong.
However, the army of Geum-gun and the Do Commander are qualitatively different.
The army of the provincial commander is nothing more than a garrison stationed in the Sacheonseong area.
On the other hand, it is not an exaggeration to say that the golden army is the power of the state as the emperor’s elite unit.
No matter how good Namcheon and Empress Dowager Sipjeon were, they would not be able to compete with Geumgoon.
‘I want to know why someone who knows is stubborn…’
Bulyeongseonja was frustrated. It’s going well, but it feels like we’re talking while looking at the wall.
Namgung Byeok said as if confirming it to the envoys of Hocheonmaeng, who had a bewildered face.
“I repeat, tell the martial arts merchant not to rush. If there’s nothing else to say, I’d like to take care of the southern alliance’s affairs.”
It is a congratulatory order. The envoys of Hocheonmaeng, who were sighing, rose from their seats with complicated faces.
As soon as he left Changgung Pavilion, Ma Cheon-deok spoke to Bul Yeong-seon-ja and Cheon-seong.
“I have someone to meet personally for a while, would you please wait in the guest room?”
The Master of Heaven smiled and nodded.
“Okay. Come to think of it, I heard that Seolha Jin of Changinmun is in the Southern League?”
“yes. I came to Namgung’s family after a long time, so I want to see your face.”
Then, after Bulyeongseonja looked around, he said quietly.
“I wonder why the Sword King is so confident. It would be nice to ask Jean Sozer a few things. Please ask for a meeting with Namcheon Daehyeop.”
“I will.”
After bowing silently to the two, Ma Chun-deok moved to the hall that is said to be used by the Southern Alliance.
Confederate.
It was not difficult for Ma Chun-deok to meet Jin Seol-ha.
It was because there were no incidents, and the masters of the Southern Alliance were guarding the palace.
Seeing Ma Chun-deok, whom he had been working with for a long time, Jinseol-ha even clapped his hands and liked it.
“Chief! What are you doing in the South? You didn’t come because I wanted to see you, did you?”
“The Hocheon League put me in the messenger sent to the South League. It must be because there is someone in the Southern League who knows. Thanks to you, I see you like this.”
“oh! You did. I heard that a lion came from Hocheonmaeng. Did you get good results?”
Jin Seol-ha, who was from the Zhengzhou branch, wished the Hocheon Meng and the Southern Meng all the best.
“That didn’t go well.”
Ma Chun-deok did not hide it because it was a story that would spread soon anyway.
“What do you mean it didn’t go well?”
“The Hocheon League wants the Southern Alliance to be together as before, but the Southern Alliance doesn’t like it.”
“Whoops! Looking at the atmosphere of the Namgung family these days, it makes sense.”
“How is the atmosphere?”
“Didn’t you see it on the way? Everyone has a lot of strength in their shoulders.”
“why?”
“Because of Namcheon Daehyeop and Empress Dowager Ten.”
“Even during the time when the two were together, Myung-gyo was a difficult opponent.”
“Chief. Did you know that those two went missing for two years and returned?”
“There was a lot of talk about hiding or disappearing.”
“It’s true that he went missing and came back.”
“If you are, then so be it. But what does that matter?”
Ma Chun-deok looked at Jin Seol-ha with an incomprehensible face.
Since she’s been in Namgung’s family for a long time, it’s true that she’s gone missing, but what’s that?
“Um…”
He hesitated for a long time.
I don’t know if it’s okay to tell Ma Chun-deok what only the direct descendants of the Namgung family know.
However, thinking about it, Namgungcheon did not pay any special attention to him.
That meant it didn’t matter if I spoke to others.
“During the two years they were missing, two people said they had been to the upper world.”
“Puhaha! Even after all these years, you still believe in what people say. Well, that’s how it’s going to be.”
Ma Chun-deok smiled so coolly that tears welled up in his eyes.
Seeing Jin Seol-ha’s serious face, the stuffiness of the past seemed to be relieved at once.
“Because it’s real. Only the direct descendants of the Namgung family knew about it. Not only the disciples accepted from the outside, but also the people in the collateral side do not know about it.”
“Puhh! okay. Where is Sanggye?”
“I don’t know too much about that. Anyway, the two of them got caught up in the magic of the famous cult leader and fell to Sanggye. Oh, to be exact, three people up to Gucheonnodo.”
When the story of the famous religious leader came out, even Ma Cheon-deok could not easily overlook it.
“so?”
“Yeon Daehyeop mastered the Great Way there and became a half-god. Well, I laughed a little at the word demigod, but anyway, the direct descendants of the Namgung family believed that.”
“her! Great!”
Ma Chun-deok scratched his head with a puzzled face.
It was absurd to say ‘Sang-gye’, ‘Dae-sword’, and ‘Demi-god’, but putting those three together in one place strangely matched the rumors.
“why? Surely the branch manager doesn’t believe that? You laughed at me a moment ago.”
“It’s because it’s a little strange regardless of whether you believe it or not.”
“What is strange?”
“Have you heard any rumors about the recent alliance?”
“Are you the devil?”
“Don’t do that. It means that Yan Daehyeop ‘rides on the clouds’ or ‘creates a sword out of thin air’.”
“Why is that?”
“No, when I said it was a demigod, I suddenly thought of it. Isn’t there a saying, ‘When no smoke comes out of the chimney?’
“…”
Jin Seol-ha is a woman with thin ears as much as Yeon Jeok-ha.
Her mouth fell open at what she was thinking.
“omg! Are all the words of Confucius Namgung true? Did you learn the long sword in Sanggye and become a half-god?”
“No, I didn’t say that. Just based on various rumors, what you said may be right…”
“That’s it. Did Hocheon Meng ask Nam Maeng, who was with such a person, to come in? It’s like asking the sea to come to the river.”
“It might look like that.”
Ma Chun-deok shook his head.
If what she said was true, it was definitely a ridiculous request.
Namgung Byeok and Namgung Jin deserved to hear the words of the messengers of the Hocheonmaeng with their ears.
Of course, if what Namgungcheon said is true, then it is.
But isn’t there a chance that such a dream-like thing will happen in reality!
“Aside from that, is there anything else the South Alliance can rely on? Like having the best master of all times and places, or having a treasure enough to open the world.”
“no. If there was such a thing, word spread right away.”
“I see.”
A shotgun ceremony flowed from Ma Chun-deok’s mouth, who had a confused face.
“why?”
“Before, Hocheonmaeng and Nammaeng were one family, but I don’t know how it became like this.”
“I didn’t know about it before, but I heard that Chilpyemun didn’t treat them properly.”
“I heard it too. There must have been a part of him who acted according to the worldly heart. How are you anyway?”
“Me?”
“Is it going well with the blue cloud sword? Cha-su and Geun-sik told me to ask about it.”
“We decided to have a wedding before the end of the year.”
“okay? That’s great. Where did you decide to have your wedding?”
“Yes, of course it is the South.”
He answered without the slightest hesitation.
Although she was from Jeongju, she had no blood relatives other than her family, so she decided to join the Southern Alliance.
Ma Chun-deok, knowing about Jin Seol-ha’s family background, didn’t ask any more.
“I will send a separate invitation to the branch manager and brother-in-law Seol. Will you come?”
“You mean this? We can’t just send flowers from our Zhengzhou branch. It’s late, but how is life in the South? Is there anyone who is territorial?”
“Are you going? Everyone is looking at me so much that I feel sorry for them.”
“haha! Good thing. This is how people in the world are originally, so just do it.”
If you marry Namgungcheon, you will become a member of the Namgung family, so everyone should notice.
Sword King, Cheongwoon Sword, Namcheon, 10 warlords.
Ma Chun-deok, who recalled Yeonjeok-ha, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Hum hum. it’s seolha It’s not something I’ve come to say for a long time, but… I have to ask you a difficult favor. I want to meet with Namcheon Daehyeop before I leave the South. Can you arrange a meeting?”
Ma Chun-deok looked at the distant mountain with a puzzled face.
Dozens of people a day visit Namgung Family to meet Yeon Jeok-ha.
Among them, there were also many high-ranking masterpieces.
Geumuiwi, Namjin Musa, also snooped around Cheonramsochuk (天覽小築), but was unable to enter.
Still, wouldn’t it be possible to meet Jin Seol-ha’s Chung, who would become a member of the same family?
