Episode 1401. That person also resembles me
He let out a resounding sigh from above the clouds.
Out of frustration I came to check on the activities of the Commander-in-Chief and ended up hearing something shocking.
They’re going to get rid of Hwangryongbang.
Of course I have no pity on Hwang Ryong-bang who dared to sneer at Nam Gung-yeon.
But on the other hand I thought ‘Is the Confederacy still okay?’ There is a question.
Hwang Ryongbang committed a crime against Seokgyeongjang not the Southern Alliance.
And not long ago the Southern Alliance urged Shen Tong to apologize for Hwang Ryong Bang.
It gives me goosebumps to see them change from friend to enemy like the flip of their hand.
There was no trace of trust anywhere in the conversation between my father-in-law and the Grand Governor.
At this point I don’t know what is different from green forest.
‘ah! I’m really offended.’
A cloud hovering above the Confederate headquarters quietly drifted along with the wind.
***
The day of the Qingming Festival martial arts competition.
Nambihe (南肥河).
Early morning.
Nine warriors were walking quickly towards Nambiha.
This is Huanglongbang who left the Southern Confederacy and returned to Zhejiang Province.
One of the crew members in the rear said to the person next to him with a tired face.
“It will take a few days for the martial arts competition to end anyway so shouldn’t we take it easy?”
“I’m doing that because the Confederacy might do harm. Don’t you know how cruel the Confederacy is? “They are using merciless measures against Hocheonmaeng who used to eat together so how much more do you think they will leave Bangpa a private affair like ours alone?”
“No matter what I do won’t I finish the martial arts competition? You’re busy right now because of the martial arts competition. Besides would you really have to point a knife at the people you invited as guests?”
“I guess that’s because we need to get Lord Ark treated quickly.”
“but….”
She said nothing more about the man.
Even though the Confederacy knew that the arm of the Ark was cut off they said they did not know.
It was better to return to Zhejiang Province as soon as possible for proper treatment.
Vice Lord Iron Blood Sword Jang Dou who was walking ahead tried to ignore the whispers of his subordinates.
‘Nothing should happen until you cross Nambiha…’
If you cross the Nambi River the distance from Nammaeng increases by about a day.
At that level he doesn’t have to worry about the male and female members of the Confederacy.
Finally the leader Jangdou entered the dry reed field by the riverside.
At that moment a strong wind swept through the reed forest.
Wow!
As the sound strangely touched his nerves Jang Do-woo looked left and right without thinking.
‘omg!’
About twenty warriors were rushing through the reed field from the left and right.
Papapat!
Jang Do-woo startled let out a loud noise.
“Who are you?”
Belatedly the Hwangryongbangdo drew their swords.
“Fuck! what!”
“What are you bastards doing!”
However the twenty or so warriors who attacked from the left and right began slashing without answering.
Cha cha cha chang!
The inspection team is the elites of the five generations.
The Hwangryongbangdos who had one of their arms broken were unable to offer proper resistance and were cut down.
Bang Tao and Hwangryongshingun Han Biho died and only Jang Dowoo remained.
Zhang Dou shouted blood rising in his neck.
“I came here after being invited and they all started stabbing me! “Can you still call yourself a political faction?”
Then Nakwolgeom Namgung-won the head of the inspection team spoke.
“If you were invited you should have behaved accordingly. “Did you dare hope that you would survive by giving a stake to the 10 Warlords?”
“You hypocrites! Don’t make excuses after all! I apologized profusely for that! Since Gucheonnodo does not follow the will of the Southern Alliance isn’t he trying to silence us by killing us?”
Then Namgung-won who was looking at Jang Do-woo with cool eyes swung his sword like a thunderbolt.
It was so fast that Jang Woo blinked his eyes not even realizing that his throat had been cut.
“what….”
Before he could finish his sentence Jang Do-woo’s head fell into the reed field.
The inspection team left the scene after recovering identification items from the Hwangryongbangdo members.
***
Hapbi.
Provincial village southern alliance.
Around midnight (10 a.m.) a luxurious two-horse carriage approached the main gate of the Confederacy.
The area near the main gate was crowded with people.
As the carriage approached people rolled their eyes but the driver stubbornly drove the carriage to the front gate.
The Confederate warriors recognized the carriage and hurriedly pushed the people to the left and right.
“Get out of the way so the carriage goes in!”
“Step back for a moment!”
“ah! “Don’t push me!”
“There are so many people we have to stop the carriage! “Why are you pushing people?”
“They told me to keep the order!”
People at the entrance protested but eventually the carriage went in first.
The situation within the Confederacy was similar but the carriage did not stop.
The coachman stopped the carriage only after passing through the outer shell and entering deep into the interior.
The five generations of elders in the cabinet crowded around the carriage.
After a while Yeonjeokha’s family got out of the carriage.
The Namgung family was preceded by the Seonwu family followed by the Tang family followed by the Moyong family and the Paeng family.
It seemed to show the distance between Odaesega and Seokgyeongjang.
While the Namgung family and the Seonwoo family were close to Yeon Jeok-he from the beginning the Tang family lowered their stance out of fear of him after experiencing conflict with Yeon Jeok-he.
In the case of the Moyong family and the Peng family – within the Southern Alliance – they were in a position to fight for leadership with the Namgung family so they kept a bit of distance from Yeonjeokhe.
After the brief greetings the five generations and elders together with the Yeon Jeok-ha family moved to the outer stage.
As the Yeon Jeok-he family and the elders of the five generations took their seats in the VIP table which was covered with a huge awning the South League’s secret dance competition finally began.
I only participated in the opening ceremony of a secret martial arts competition and got out without notice.
Yeon Ji-an also showed no interest in the dance competition perhaps because Wol-ah and Geum-ah were not there.
He returned to the cabinet with his family and when the carriage was out of sight he performed a fortune-telling ceremony.
Because the cabinet was empty due to the martial arts competition no one was surprised to see Unjongsul.
The Yeon Je-he family quietly returned to Seokgyeongjang.
The South Alliance’s martial arts competition ended in a whopping ten days.
Considering the past martial arts competitions which usually lasted three to four days or five days at the most it took twice as long.
So many warriors participated.
Through the martial arts competition four final strongmen were produced and people called them the Four Great Heavenly Kings.
In the Southern Alliance there was no distinction between the superiority and inferiority of the Four Great Heavenly Kings.
This was to prevent the Four Great Heavenly Kings from being killed or injured because the fighting was so intense.
This is understandable as more than 50 casualties occurred during the 10-day military competition.
The Confederacy’s secret martial arts competition was more intense than ever.
It was an open secret that the Confederacy would soon advance into the continent.
The Southern Alliance inevitably fights the Hocheon Alliance.
For the warriors who had been oppressed by the Chilpamun for a long time the Southern Alliance was a never-before-seen opportunity to spread their wings.
They had no doubt that the Confederacy would win.
Above all this is because the Southern Alliance had Namcheon Yeon Jeok-ha and Sipjeonmuhu.
***
Full moon in April.
Around noon Namgung Byeok the king of swords and the leader of the Southern Alliance came to Seokgyeongjang.
A few days ago he welcomed his father-in-law at Yeonjeokhae’s house where he had been notified in advance.
“Please come quickly father-in-law.”
Yeonji An also greeted his maternal grandfather whom he had not seen in three months with an awkward expression.
“hello? grandfather.”
“So how are you?”
Namgung Byeok – it’s been a while since we last saw each other so he deserved a hug at least once – but he only received a greeting.
And then he immediately turned his attention to Yeon Jeok-ha.
“I came here because I have a story to share with you.”
As soon as Namgung Byeok brought up the matter Namgung Yeon took her daughter and returned to the main house.
It was as if she had returned to her childhood when she did not speak.
Yeonjeokha who was stuck in her middle scratching her head hurriedly followed her father-in-law.
Guest hall.
Namgung Byeok did not say anything until the female servant brought out the tea table.
Yeon Jeok-ha poured hot water into two tea cups.
As the tea began to brew Namgung Byeok began to drink the tea leisurely.
I sipped some hot tea and looked at my father-in-law.
I think my heartache came from hitting Mo Yong-gak but I don’t know what to say.
After a while when the tea water became lukewarm Namgung Byeok spoke as if passing by.
“From what I heard he only showed his face briefly on the first day and did not attend the martial arts competition again.”
“It wasn’t fun because I didn’t know any of the participants.”
“But still. “Most of the participants came to see you.”
Yeon Jeok-ha said no more about it.
This is because it has already passed and will continue to happen even when the secret martial arts competition is held.
When Yeon Jeok-ha showed no reaction Nangung Byeok changed the topic.
“I heard about the Hwangryongbang incident. She did a big mistake to Yeon-i right? “She said that Simtong had taken care of it so the Confederacy also cut off relations with them.”
“Is that still okay? “She was told that she was a necessary breakwater for the Nanmeng to advance into her Zhejiang province.”
“There is nothing to worry about as it is not the only Huanglongbang in Zhejiang Province.”
“Oh yeah.”
“But Sim Tong messed with Hwangryongbang and even messed with the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Alliance.”
“….”
Yeonjeokha didn’t say anything.
She didn’t have anything to say.
“The Moyong family and the Peng family have as much influence in the Southern Alliance as the Namgung family. She has that much power in her breath. “The Moyong family will not want to ignore this incident.”
“Yes.”
When Yeonjeokha calmly accepted it Namgung Byeok said ‘Tsk!’ and clicked her tongue.
“I’ll be honest. Moyongse passed the task to me. They say to pay attention to Simtong. “What do you think about this matter?”
“well. “Do you want to warn Old Man Sim?”
“In Shim Tong’s opinion Mo Yong-gak’s words and actions may be reprehensible but…”
“What about your father-in-law?”
When Yeon Jeok-he interrupted himself Nangong Byeok’s complexion hardened slightly.
“me?”
“Sister Ye Yeon is your father-in-law’s daughter right? “My father-in-law don’t you feel bad about Mo Yong-gak’s words and actions asking you to apologize to Hwangryongbang?”
“Hmm.”
Instead of answering Namgung Byeok let out a heavy sigh.
Of course I feel bad.
Since Yellow Dragon Ark treated his daughter as his servant she wants to kill him. And she did.
However in the case of Moyonggak the texture is a little different.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Alliance he was merely faithful to his mission of ‘capturing Hwangryongbang’.
“Moyonggak simply followed the decision of the Commander-in-Chief.”
“Like him the only thing on Old Man Shim’s mind is the honor and comfort of Seokgyeongjang’s family.”
Yeonjeokha laughed bitterly at the craftsman’s consistent attitude.
This is why his wife keeps a distance from her father-in-law.
It seemed that Nam Maeng was more important to her father-in-law than her daughter.
So even though they are angry at others they will take the side of the Confederacy.
Even if he is like Nam Gung-yeon he will just pretend to be himself.
“Jeokhaya.”
“yes.”
“There are times when a man has to cover up his personal feelings in the face of big things.”
“Discussing the world while not being able to take care of your family… seems a bit much. “Isn’t there a saying that says ‘The value of the country is under the world?’
“That’s just what writers say. Even if you are an adult there are many cases where you cannot do anything about your family. Even in the case of Yao Sun-wu….”
Namgung Byeok continued her tirade by citing the case of an old Seonggun who failed to raise his children.
Yeon Jeok-ha who was listening with a sullen expression on her face spoke.
“I know what you mean. I think there is no such thing as being absolutely right. So what do you plan to do my father-in-law?”
“For now I’m trying to warn you so that you can understand the pain.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Is that okay?”
“It doesn’t matter to me but I don’t know what Old Man Shim will say. “Because that person also resembles me.”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at his father-in-law with ambiguous eyes.
I’m not sure if we’ll be able to have a good conversation because I’ll immediately start to fuss with my heart-rending personality.
