968 times. Be brave,
Hebi.
Namgungse is not alive.
Five seconds (11:00 a.m.).
Two men sat facing each other on the main hall.
They are the sword king Namgung Byeok, the head of the Namgung family, and Mo Yong-moon, the Bancheonil sword, the musketeer of the Southern Alliance.
After taking a sip of the tea, Mo Yong-wen opened her mouth with a stiff face.
“Last night, Changbimun suffered damage that was close to destruction due to a raid by the Hocheonmaeng. According to the testimony of survivors, many Chilpaimun disciples were also involved. It seems that Hocheonmaeng’s revenge has begun.”
“You talk fun. It’s just a war between the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance.”
“…”
Mo Yong-mun did not bother to argue with Namgung Byeok.
Anyone can see that Changbimun’s work was revenge for being beaten by the Sword King in Jeongwonhyeon.
However, the sword king’s words were not wrong.
Because all of that happened during the war between the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance.
“In the morning, we sent a pursuit party to find Hocheonmaeng. I want to know at least the size and movement.”
“As soon as Jeongyang is finished…”
Mo Yongmun interrupted the Sword King.
“You should go fight the Merchant. Not too long ago, it was thought that the leader was holding three masters. However, after going through the events of Changbimun, I realized that this is not necessarily the case.”
“Or what?”
“It seems that they are holding on to the Lord’s ankles. Since the honor of the greatest master in the world is at stake, it can’t be done with something that didn’t exist now, right?”
“It is a promise between an unmanned and an unmanned before the 10 greatest masters in the world. We’ve already shared swords once, so how can we do something that never happened?”
Mo Yong-mun looked at the Sword King with mixed eyes.
It’s not that I don’t understand the situation, but I don’t think this is the case.
As a result, he, the best master and leader of the Southern Alliance, is playing separately from the top 10 masters in the world, so his clothes are about to be turned upside down.
Being in a situation where he was being beaten like crazy, the absence of the King of Swords was painful.
If the Sword King could not lead this difficult situation, he had to find another way.
“So, do you remember what we talked about the other day?”
“When are you talking about before?”
When the sword king couldn’t even guess, Mo Yong-mun spoke straight.
“We need Namcheon Daehyeop’s help. Please meet him and get Hu Tian Meng out of Nanjing.”
“I said I’d think about it, but I don’t remember saying I’d meet him.”
“If that’s not the case, stop fighting with the top 10 masters and return to the Southern League. If the leader is in the vanguard, he will face them in Nanjing anyway. Think of it in Nanjing, not Hefei.”
“That is troublesome. A man cannot speak two words with one mouth.”
“Does that sound like you’re going to watch the southern alliance perish because of your pride?”
Mo Yong-mun looked provocatively at the Sword King.
In fact, the Southern League had no other choice.
It is a situation where the Sword King has to stand in the forefront or receive help from Namcheon.
To do so, the Sword King had to break his pride.
Because it is the Sword King who has to say sorry to the top 10 masters in the world or to Namcheon.
“Anti-Chunil Sword Mo Yongmun. You talk in a way that makes you feel different.”
“I am sorry if you felt that way. However, if it is not the Maenglord, it is necessary at least with the help of the Namcheon Daehyup… to protect Namgyeong. Doesn’t the Lord also know?”
“…”
Namgung Byeok did not deny it.
Regardless of the predicament of his own situation, what he said was true.
“So what do you want me to do?”
Of course it’s not that I don’t know.
However, I had no confidence to do it without someone pushing me on the back.
“Please ask Namcheon Daehyeop for help.”
“Whoa!”
A heavy sigh escaped from Namgung Byeok’s mouth.
Pride?
You can put things aside for a while.
The problem is when there is no income even after doing so.
When did Yeonjeokha listen to him?
“He’s the type of person who won’t lift a finger no matter what anyone says if he doesn’t want to. Haven’t you seen it before?”
“It will be a little different this time.”
“Why do you think so?”
“The fact that Namcheon Daehyeop withdrew from Moorim’s work was… because I thought it didn’t matter.”
“Before the falsehood?”
“There must have been a path that he believed was right. But he must have let go of it because he thought it was wrong.”
“You’ll think it doesn’t matter, so will you listen to me?”
“That’s right. In the past, I believed that I was right, so I refused the Lord Lord’s request. But now that I’ve just let things go by themselves… No matter what Hocheonmaeng says, the blood relatives will raise their hand. It will be difficult to do that, but you have to rekindle your relationship with him.”
“Not just a request…withdrawal of dissent?”
“If he is not a blood relative, will he stand on the side of the South while eating insults? Could it be that Lord Lord was thinking of disowning and requesting as separate things?”
“I have never spoken two words with one mouth in my whole life.”
“Still, this time you have to withdraw your disbelief. Without that, the Namcheon Grand Hyeop cannot be moved.”
Mo Yong-mun looked at the Sword King with strange eyes.
I didn’t know that he would be a person who was so tightly blocked that he could separate disrespect and request.
‘Tsk! It wasn’t like this until my wife was alive…’
It’s so scary that there’s no one next to me with whom I can talk openly.
Namgung Byeok, who had been stubbornly keeping his mouth shut, spoke.
“If the musketeer who is said to be the wisest in the South is like that, then that would be it. Got it. Think about it.”
Again, the Sword King tried to escape by saying ‘I’ll think about it’.
However, Mo Yong-mun, who saw Changbi-mun’s Myol-mun, did not allow it.
“There is no time to think. Please decide on the spot. It is not easy to find Namcheon Daehyeop.”
“Looking for Namcheon? You mean you left the stone sutras?”
“There is information that two two-headed wagons were purchased at Seogyeongjang a few days ago. Recently, the ingredients brought in from Seokgyeongjang have fallen to the usual level (about 10%). We understand that he is touring the world with his family.”
“…”
“Seeing that the Namcheon Great Gorge was witnessed in Heesu-hyeon, I think the destination is infinite.”
“infinite?”
“Aren’t Wuhan’s bloody brothers, Five Bons and Ten Girls?”
“Ah…”
Namgungbyeok nodded.
I couldn’t think of anything else when I thought of a young enemy with a narrow interpersonal relationship.
“My lord. Losing Nanjing is tantamount to losing Nanjing. Please be brave.”
The wall of the South Palace was no longer removed.
Wouldn’t it be known if Yeonjeokha was in the Seogyeongjang?
I know that finding him is not an easy task.
“Okay. Putting personal feelings aside for the sake of a greater cause. I will prepare a letter for Namcheon… Please stop by again in the afternoon.”
Mo Yongwen’s face lit up in an instant.
“thank you. And well thought out. Isn’t there a saying to keep your friends close and your enemies closer?”
Although he described Yeonjeokha as an enemy, he did not bother to point out Namgung Byeok.
This is because the wounded pride hurts less if you do that.
***
Huanggang.
Maple Hyun.
around noon.
Two two-headed wagons arrived on the banks of the Yangtze River.
Before long, the family members of the stone sutras dismounted from the two wagons.
When Jian ran to the riverside, the baby Baekho and Wolah Geumah followed.
My heartache approached Yeon Jeok-ha, who looked at him with a lovely face.
“Confucius, this is the Yangtze River. Now what? Shall we cross the river by boat? Or shall we take a boat to Wuhan?”
“Hmm, what do you want? sister? What do you think?”
“I think it would be okay to take a boat to Wuhan. I will continue to ride the wagon, but the boat is not like that.”
“Wouldn’t Jian say that Jian is stuffy because his stomach is narrow?”
“Whoops! Will it be as narrow as a wagon? It’s a yard compared to a wagon.”
“ah! I see. Then we need to find a ship that goes to infinity. Did you hear old Sim? Find a ship big enough for our wagon.”
“All right.”
Then, the fortune net intervened.
“Lord Jang. Can I go look for a boat with Simga?”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
“Then I will go to the docks too. What are you doing? let’s go.”
Heartache – even though he had a troubled face – walked shoulder to shoulder with him to the dock.
Namgoongyeon said as she watched the heartache and the desire to move away.
“Doesn’t it seem like the two of you got along better after the death of Shin Ryu?”
“I see. If it had been before, Old Sim would have jumped up.”
“I think the three of you were good friends.”
“I don’t know if he came to his senses belatedly after seeing the old man dying. I thought we would die like that.”
“Whoops! How can you think that way?”
“It’s because I know Old Man Shim and Old Man Tang too well.”
“He must have been a good friend. That’s why the remaining two must have grown fond of each other.”
“Then, Cheongryushin did a good job. At first, I had a lot of regrets, probably taking it for nothing.”
“Did you regret it?”
“I didn’t want to see someone I knew die.”
“Can you not see it if you don’t want to see it? Life and death depend on the sky.”
“Still, I wish I didn’t live to see you.”
“You’re a half-god, so you’ll see it even if you don’t want to see it?”
“Oh no way…”
“Whoops. I’m kidding. Because inaction and the lifespan bestowed by heaven are two different things.”
Only then did Yeonjeokha’s crumpled expression straighten.
Namgoongyeon smiled at his face.
Inaction and lifespan are different, but what about the half body?
For some reason, his lifespan seems to be different from that of ordinary people, but he didn’t mention it because he hated it.
Heartache and dangyunmang, which seemed to return soon, returned in the beginning of Shinshi (3:00 p.m.), well past lunchtime.
Yeonjeokha, sitting on the river bank and watching Namgungyeon and Jian, Baekho, Wolah, and Geumah play in the water, felt pain in his heart.
“Confucius.”
“How late are you? What about the boat?”
“A boat big enough to carry two wagons comes in twice a day, but today it has already gone. Maybe tomorrow morning.”
“Then we can ride in the morning.”
“By the way, what are you doing alone?”
“You watch Jian play.”
“What are you doing alone without playing together?”
“This is play. Look at me, Jian is waving his hand while looking at me. It should be in a place where you can see it like this.”
Yeon Jeok-ha smiled brightly and waved his hand.
“ha! What Confucius is doing now is managing or supervising. Playing around is not like that.”
“What does an old Sim who has no wife and children say he knows?”
“I don’t have a wife or children, but I still have eyes to see. Hurry down and sprinkle some water on Jian and the kids.”
“Then the kids hate it.”
“Can’t you see that the mother-in-law is screaming that she likes it?”
“I like it because my sister does it.”
“I would love it more if Confucius did it. Let’s go.”
A heartache shoved the back of his undershirt.
I reluctantly went down to the river to match his backbone.
Heartache started to pretend to scoop something with his hands when Yeonjeokha, who had approached the children, glanced back.
‘Spray water! Root!’
When Yeon Jeok-ha, who was hesitant, sprinkled water on Jian, Jian and the children all started a counterattack.
The sound of children laughing loudly spread across the river.
Seeing Yeonjeokha, the grin of his grandfather appeared on his heartbreaking face.
Dan Yun-mang sat down beside him.
“What are you laughing at like that?”
“Even if I tell you, you don’t know.”
“Tsk tsk! It shouldn’t be like that for Seokgyeongjang’s headless head… Should I go and dry it too?”
Heartache glanced at Tang Yun-mang.
Rumors about the Tang family must have been exaggerated considering that such a careless guy has survived to this day.
