880 times. Jian (至安), come to comfort
Namjiryeseong.
Hefei.
Namgung Se.
Changgunggak.
On the day the Demonic Cult entered Hogwangseong, Sword King Namgung Byeok called Namgung Sega and the people of Seokgyeongjang to Changgung Pavilion.
Then he gave Yeonjeokha a letter and said.
“It’s Jian. It means come to comfort.”
Yeon Jeok-ha opened the letter, checked the letters ‘Jian’, and handed it to Namgung-yeon.
The faces of King Namgung and the people of the Seokgyeongjang, who were watching nervously, brightened.
It took a month to come up with a name for the baby, so that’s understandable.
During that period, Namgung Byeok did not look back at the affairs of the Namgung family as well as the Namgung family.
You can tell just by looking at Changgunggak how much he cared for the baby.
The reason Namgung Byeok called the Namgung family and the people of Seokgyeongjang was not to discuss the cataclysmic Kanghosa, but to tell them the name of their granddaughter.
Namgungjin, Daeju Daeju of Changchun, approached Yeonjeokha and Namgungyeon and congratulated them, then said to Namgungwall.
“Uncle, since you’ve finished your big business, you should look back on the affairs of the Southern Alliance, right?”
“What’s going on with the South?”
“The Moulin Festival during the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a problem, but the Hocheon League continues to offer alliances.”
“Do you really need to talk like that on a meaningful day like today?”
“Would you like to be me? It’s a pity that the envoy of Hocheonmaeng came to Nammaeng again today.”
“…”
Namgungbyeok frowned.
In the meantime, Hocheonmaeng has frequently sent messengers to make various proposals.
From the Murim Contest of the Mid-Autumn Festival to the alliance between Hocheon and Nammaeng.
The more the Demonic Cult approaches the Hogwangseong, the more often the messengers are sent.
“Lion… Who came?”
“The Jinin of Dosan of the Volcano Sect has arrived.”
“Dosan Jinin? Aren’t you higher than Mugeuk Merchant, the master of pottery?”
“It is said to be the private residence of the Mugeuk Merchant.”
“hmm. i get it. go and tell I’m going to see you soon, so please wait a moment.”
“You want to meet the Lord in person?”
Namgungjin immediately changed his title when Namgung Byeok said he would take care of the Nammaeng.
“The chief lord of the Hocheonmaeng came, but we have to show that much sincerity on this side as well. That’s what it means to be aware. Well, I have something else to find out.”
“Did the Lord have any questions?”
Namgungjin looked at the Namgung wall with a surprised face.
I thought he lost interest in the Southern League because he hadn’t touched anything in the meantime, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Do you think I’ve been obsessed with naming all day?”
“Didn’t you almost?”
Namgung Byeok waved his hand as if he was annoyed when his nephew persisted.
“Stop nagging and go and serve Dosan Jinin. I will follow soon.”
“yes.”
Namgoongjin stepped back with a serious face.
It’s not empty words, it’s really because the leader realized that Dosan Jinin had business to do.
***
After one meal thereafter.
Dae Yeongak.
Namgung-jin, who was drinking tea with Dosan Jin-in, quietly got up from his seat when the Maeng-ju came.
“Since the Lord has come, I will leave. Please speak to the two of you.”
Namgung-jin even avoided a seat for the two of them.
Dosan Jin-in greeted with a thrilled face when the leader of the southern alliance, the Sword King, arrived.
“Bindo (貧道) is the Dosan Jinin of the Huashan Sect.”
“welcome. I heard the word through Cheongcheon University Daeju. Are you saying that you are a private residence for a martial arts merchant?”
“Heh heh, yes. The test drive of the Merchant is my priest.”
“You made a precious person wait for a long time. I will raise you a drink as an apology.”
Namgung Byeok poured tea into Dosan Jinin’s teacup as if he were pouring alcohol.
“Oops! I will drink it thanks.”
When he said, ‘The King of Swords will apologize,’ Dosan Jinin’s lips caught in his ears.
Since the leader of the Southern League respected himself like this, it seemed like things would work out for some reason.
Dosan Jin-in, who picked up a teacup and savored the scent of the tea, said as if passing by.
“By the way, looking at the people coming and going, it seems that there is an event in the South Alliance today?”
“It’s not the Southern League, but there was something in the Namgung family.”
“Can I know what happened and how often?”
“I don’t know if you know that I have a late granddaughter. My married daughter and son-in-law asked for a name for their granddaughter, but we were able to decide only today.”
“ah! Was the false work to promote the name of Youngson?”
“That’s right. If I had known Dosan Jinin was there, I would have invited him, but it’s a pity.”
When Namgung Byeok spoke seriously, Dosan Jin-in was grateful, but it was difficult to understand.
‘Terrible! It’s a strange thing.’
I had no idea that the Namgung family would make such a fuss about just one granddaughter’s name.
“So what will be the name of the young son?”
“I named it ‘Jian’ to live comfortably. It took a full month to come up with that name, so I hope you know my grandfather’s hard work and live like that.”
“her! her! her!”
Dosan Jinin laughed involuntarily.
It’s because now I know the reason why the messengers of Hocheonmaeng have gone in vain every time.
Dosan Jin-in, who thought that the conversation had been opened before long, carefully opened his rhyme.
“My lord. Currently, Gangho is in crisis due to the magi and famous religions. The Sichuan Murim Alliance turned away from evil by avoiding anger, but I think that the Hocheon League and the Southern Alliance should not do that. Our Hocheonmaeng will fight to the end against the Demonic Cult and the famous Cult. What about the Southern Alliance?”
“Of course, the Southern Alliance also has to fight.”
Encouraged by the sword king’s answer, Dosan Jinin leaned his upper body forward.
“The Demonic Cult and the famous Cult are common enemies. It is also a very formidable enemy. If Hocheonmaeng and Nammaeng do not join hands, it may be difficult to overcome this wave.”
“If you are talking about the alliance, I think I have already sufficiently conveyed the position of the Southern Alliance.”
Dosan Jinin’s face, which had been burning hot, sank at once.
I did it in case, but it’s still the same.
Dosan Jin-in, who was silent with a depressed face, asked.
“Why are you avoiding an alliance with the Hutian Meng? If it’s because we’re afraid that Hocheonmaeng might have other intentions…”
“It’s not because of that.”
Namgung Byeok interrupted Dosan Jinin.
I wondered what was going on in their heads that Hocheonmaeng was thinking that way.
“If not, why not? Please tell me the reason.”
“I understand that the reason has already been told several times to the messengers of Hocheonmaeng.”
“I heard that it is because the power of the South is enough. Is that right?”
“You know exactly. That’s why I said there was no need for an alliance with Hocheon Meng.”
“haha! Are you saying that the Demonic Cult and the famous Cult can be solved with the power of the Southern Alliance?”
Dosan Jinin laughed involuntarily.
Aside from the Demonic Cult of the Heavenly Mountain, which will not exist again in Murimsa Temple, even the famous Cultist could not stop the Jeongsa faction.
Isn’t that why it came out after three years?
If the famed religious leader had been interested in Murim’s hegemony, the three-year contract would not have occurred.
It was only three years ago that the Jeong Sa faction was trampled on by the famous bridge, but the Southern Alliance alone could stop it?
Namgung Byeok looked at Dosan Jinin with a calm face.
Such a reaction is normal.
If you don’t know Yeonjeokha’s inaction, it’s not strange to be so astonished.
Dosan Jin-in, who belatedly saw Namgung Byeok’s calm attitude, said with a straight face.
“You are serious.”
“That’s right.”
“…”
Dosan Jinin was speechless for a moment.
I thought you were holding out to get some kind of advantage from the Southern League, but isn’t that the case?
‘what? Do you really want to use Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Gung-yeon to solve the problem?’
When he was thinking about the hidden power of the Namgung, Namgung Byeok asked.
“Dosan Jinin. As the leader of the South Alliance and a person who once ate together with the Justice League and the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I have a question.”
“What is it? If the frequency is known, let me tell you.”
“I was curious about why Hocheonmaeng only watched when the Demonic Cult was roaming around Sichuan.”
“….”
Dosan Jin-in could not answer the unexpected question right away.
He hesitated before opening his mouth after calmly organizing his thoughts.
“That would be the same for the Southern Alliance, but it is because we are not ready to respond yet. After the Cheonji League was disbanded, few people remained in the Hocheon League. The Moorim Competition of the Mid-Autumn Festival is to gather fellow soldiers to fight together. I understand that the situation of the Southern Alliance is similar, isn’t it?”
Dosan Jin-in subtly turned the arrow toward the South.
It was because the Nam Meng did not run to Sichuan to strike the Demonic Cult either.
“You are misunderstanding something. Nammaeng was created to protect the rights and interests of the Namjikryeseong sect. It can be said that it has a different personality from Hocheonmaeng, which targets the whole world.”
“Oh, I see. Still, I think dealing with the Demonic Cult is the job of all factions that transcend regions…” “
I understand what you mean. For that part, let’s have a meeting with the leaders of the southern alliance. As I said, our Nammaeng was watching, not Nam Jik-rye. But why did Hocheonmeng just ignore Sichuan?”
“As I said, it was because the Hocheon League hadn’t gathered yet…”
“When famous schools rose in the past, the Justice League responded well without holding a separate Moorim convention. The munpa under the Justice League mobilized their disciples to fight. I also participated in that fight, so the memory is vivid. However, there was no faction of Hocheonmaeng who rushed to Sichuan this time.”
“…”
Dosan Jin-in did not make any excuses for that part.
It is true that the literary factions under Hocheonmaeng did not go to Sichuan.
“Could it be that you decided to turn a blind eye to the powerful activities of the Demonic Cult?”
“It can’t be! It’s not like that! If so, would you offer an alliance to the South?”
Dosan Jin-in jumped up and denied it.
However, Namgung Byeok’s sharp questioning continued.
“Then why didn’t a single Wenpa run to Sichuan? Didn’t you just say that the Demonic Cult is a problem for the entire strong force that transcends the region?”
“Grunt!”
A sound of pain flowed from Dosan Jinin’s mouth.
In fact, there was no excuse for just watching the Demonic Cao roaming around Sichuan in Hocheonmaeng.
The munpa under the Hocheonmaeng had to fight against whether or not they were opponents of the Demonic Cult.
“If there is no convincing explanation for that part, I have no choice but to think that Ho-Chun-Ming colluded with the Demonic Cult. There is one more reason why the Southern League should not ally with the Hocheon League.”
“…”
Cold sweat ran down Dosan Jinin’s face.
In fact, it was not uncommon for him to betray his colleagues in Gangho, so he couldn’t help but blame Namgung Byeok for his suspicions.
“The Great Sword King. Hocheonmaeng did not collude with the Demonic Cult. How can I believe the words of Bindo?”
“If you tell me honestly, I will believe you.”
“ha!”
A shotgun ceremony flowed from Dosan Jinin’s mouth.
I wanted to hide it somehow, but it seemed like it would be difficult to fool the experienced sword king.
