Episode 905. Go to the Moorim Competition of the Hocheon League,
Seokgyeongjang.
main building.
“… ‘What would Jin Seol-ha do if she wanted to leave the Southern Alliance?’ I was speechless when she asked. When Jin Mae said that, I thought it was out of anger. But the moment I heard my father’s words, my mind flashed. If the people of Murimse continue to harass Jinmae for the reason of the conflict between the Nammaeng and Hocheonmaeng, Jinmae may not be able to stand it.”
The blue cloud sword, Namgungcheon, who was filled with emotion, stopped talking for a moment.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon silently watched him and waited for his next words.
“I tried to find a way to help Jin Mae. But there was nothing I could do against the Hobeopdang. It is because of me that Hobeopdang is harassing Jin-Mae. But I can’t really help Jin Mae… Maybe it would be better?”
Yeonjeokha said as if he had been waiting for a moment.
“If Hobeopdang Dangju and my brother fight, who will win?”
“You mean Uncle Moyong?”
“yes.”
“Uncle Moyong would have won before, but now I will lead by a slight margin.”
Even in the midst of anger, Namgungcheon did not speak carelessly about the other person.
“Then go and stomp on it. If a person who is the same as the head of the Hobeopdang harasses people with personal feelings, he should be beaten. If you step on one or two people like that, they will all become nice.”
“ha! That’s a story only possible in greenery. If you do that in the Southern Alliance, you will be immediately taken to the Guardian Law Party.”
“Even though your uncle is the leader?”
“Other Murim families don’t like Namgung family playing solo in the Nammaeng. So, you can’t just do the father’s will. Rather, in that case, we will apply more stringent standards.”
Namgungcheon glanced at Yeonjeokha.
After he left the Namgung Family, the power of the Namgung Family also declined.
The fact that Jin Seol-ha suffered such humiliation may not have had anything to do with it.
Just like the Namgung family in the past, this is because he never misses the opponent’s weak spot in the strong game.
“Or how about coming out of the South? If you can’t protect Jean Sojourn, isn’t it natural to come out together? Jin So-jeo might go back to Jeongju while he keeps his eyes on Hobeopdang.”
“I am the head of the Namgung family, so how can I leave the South?”
“Can’t you go out?”
“As Namgungse belongs to the Namgung family and I am a human, that is impossible.”
If Namgungcheon wants to leave the Namgung family, she has no choice but to break off with the Namgung family. However, he, who was born and raised in the Namgung family, did not want to do that.
However, he did not understand Namgungcheon, who had a rivalry.
“If my brother leaves the Southern Alliance, will Namgoongse become a non-human?”
“That’s not the case, since Namgung family belonged to the Southern Alliance, it means that I am also a member of the Southern Alliance. If I want to leave the Namgung, I have no choice but to leave the Namgung family.”
“ah! Is that so?”
It was only then that he realized that his situation of dating was not simple.
Hagisa Namgungcheon, unlike himself who has nothing, is the head of the Namgung family. The Namgung family, of course, would never be free from the Southern League.
Namgungyeon, who had been listening to the conversation between the two in silence, opened her mouth.
“So, what do you want to do, brother? If you had to choose between Jin So-je and the Southern Alliance, who would you choose?”
“That’s right, it’s true madness.”
“Then, brother, go to the Hocheonmaeng’s Moorim Tournament.”
“what? Go to Hocheonmaeng? Do you think your father, let alone the Southern Alliance, will stay still?”
“What if you don’t stand still? Are you going to punish someone who has no position in the Southern League?”
“…”
Namgungcheon couldn’t answer for a second.
In the case of Jin Seol-ha, he was investigated five times for having a conversation with the messengers of Hocheon-meng.
Going to observe the Hocheonmaeng’s Moorim Tournament in such a bloody atmosphere?
No matter how much he was the head of the Namgung family, the consequences would not be easy.
“Brother. There is something that people misunderstand. Right now, the South and Hocheon alliances are not at war. Of course not the enemy. What’s happening now is nothing more than a ploy by those trying to seize power by fomenting a crisis. If you don’t want to do what they want, turn the table upside down. As Jin So-je said, it is to make the relationship between the South and the Hocheonmaeng not a war, but a good competition. You will be criticized, but there will be people who understand your brother’s actions.”
Namgungcheon hesitated and said with difficulty.
“I know what you mean. By the way, I can ignore the Southern Meng’s criticism of me… but I’m worried that my father will suffer a blow because of me.”
If he went to the Hocheon League’s Murim Tournament, there would surely be voices criticizing the leader.
“My father is far above my older brother, so there is no need to worry about him. Even if the Murim family criticizes my father, he won’t blink an eye. Do you think the Sword King will be intimidated by the words of the Murim family?”
Namgungcheon, who was thinking hard, asked again.
“If I observe Hocheonmaeng’s Murim Tournament… won’t I criticize Jin-Mae more?”
“If the Murim family keeps bringing in Jin So-jeo, my older brother says, ‘I’m leaving the Southern Alliance.’ Then your father will protect Jean Sojour.”
“Father?”
“When you have time, look in the mirror. My older brother is not only the Murim family, but also the best master among the later members of the Gangho family and the Soga of the Namgung family. Do you think your father will let go of such an older brother? It means to use your father instead of trying to protect the loss of your brother, who has no power in the Southern League. If my brother goes strong, my father will protect Jin So-je. Of course, the Nammaeng and the Namgung family will be criticized.”
“So if I attend the Moorim Tournament of the Hocheonmaeng… everything will be resolved?”
“I will rise up in the Hobeopdang, but I can’t punish you because there is no justification. Brother, do you have any thoughts of becoming a bridge between the Southern and Hocheon alliances?”
“I don’t know about such a grandiose thing, and I just want Jin Mae to be at ease.”
“I knew you would. If the people of Hobeopdang knew that Jin So-je and his brother were ‘one body and one mind’, they would stop attacking Jin So-je. Don’t overcomplicate it and go to the Hocheonmaeng’s Moorim Competition.”
Namgungcheon asked as if to confirm.
“If that sparks fire at Jin-Mae, do you dare to leave the Southern Alliance with Jin-Mae?”
“that’s right. At that time, my father will take care of organizing the guardhouse.”
“I see what you mean. But…”
Namgungcheon nodded and said with a puzzled face.
“Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is right around the corner… I wonder if we can make it to Jeongju on time, where Hocheonmaeng is located.”
Then Yeonjeokha intervened.
“Brother, I am here, are you worried about that! I will take you.”
“Really? I’d appreciate it if you would, but…”
Namgungcheon was speechless.
When I thought, ‘I’m going to the Hocheon alliance with Yeon Jeok-ha, who cut off ties with the Nam-myeong,’ I felt strange.
‘Just because I went, the Nam Maeng would be upset…’ If it
became known that Yeon Jeok Ha had joined, the Nam Maeng would become a mourning house.
“Is it okay if I go with Yuna Jeokha?”
“Whoops! who will stop If you want to go in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you’d better go with him.”
Namgung-yeon, who is called the ten warlords, did not object, and Namgung-cheon was relieved.
If Yeonjeokha knew why he wanted to go to Hocheonmaeng, he would have refused to do so, but Namgungcheon now only thought that it was fortunate that he was not late for the Moorim tournament.

Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ha Nam.
Early morning
in Chiliha Village, Zhengzhou .
Chiliha Village, which had been quiet, was crowded with people for a long time.
All of them are people who came to watch or participate in the Moorim competition held in Hocheonmaeng.
Although the Southern Alliance is rising with the momentum of the Ascension of the Rising Sun, the force of the Hocheon Alliance was still stronger.
Yeonjeokhe and Namgungcheon also mingled with the people and naturally entered the Hocheon League.
Normally, I would have checked the identity of the visitor at the main gate, but it was a Moorim event, so I passed safely.
Thanks to this, Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-cheon were able to go deep inside without attracting people’s attention.
The surroundings of the high performance stage were full of onlookers from the get-go.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-cheon found a suitable seat with a good view of Yeonmudae and squatted down.
“It’s an enemy.”
” yes.”
“Shouldn’t we say hello to the Mugeuk Merchant (Hocheon Lord)?”
It seemed that he had to do so if he wanted to spread the word that he had come to the Hocheonmaeng’s Murim Tournament.
“Do you think people will recognize you before then and come?”
“Is it really so?”
“There are senior seats in a higher position than us. You will definitely see us when the Moorim Championships begin.”
“I guess so.”
It was the first time such a major accident had happened to Namgungcheon, so his butt was shaking for no reason.
On the other hand, he was busy looking for prey for his rivals who had lived their own way.
“But why are you looking around so long ago? Is anyone looking for it?”
“Ah, I want to know where the Musketeer of the Hocheonmaeng is.”
“Gongsun and grand bargain?”
“yes.”
“Why is he?”
“I have some calculations.”
“What calculation?”
Namgungcheon glanced at Yeonjeokha with anxious eyes.
Even if it’s not, it’s because it’s difficult to deal with if he gets into an accident in an unfriendly alliance.
“The musketeers of the Southern League and Hocheon League were playing with human lives. Even the musketeers of the Hocheonmaeng will need to be hit by a few to come to their senses. It would be against fairness to be shot by the musketeers of the Southern Alliance.”
“Is that why you followed me?”
“yes. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
“Hey, can’t you do that separately later?”
“Why are you acting like an older brother who abandoned the Southern Alliance for Eijin Sojeo and came to the Hocheon League event?”
“Don’t make a big deal out of it. Who abandoned it?”
“Does everyone in the South think that way?”
“That is your idea.”
“Before you left, sister Yeon did that? Contrary to what you see, older brother is a strong person.”
“Did Yeon-yi really say that?”
“yes. why?”
“No, don’t you know that I didn’t abandon the Nammaeng and come to the Hocheon League? That’s why.”
“It’s the same whether you overturn or mech. You came here knowing that you would be scolded by the Southern Alliance anyway. no Did you come to criticize Jin So-jeo instead? Anyway, you’ve been prepared for that.”
“I am saying that I abandoned the Southern League and came to the Hocheon League because it seems too extreme.”
Namgungcheon, who was weak-minded, worked hard to make excuses even though no one recognized her.
After a while, the vacant seat of honor was quickly filled with members of the long family of Chilpamun.
Soon after, Hocheonmaeng Musketeers Gongson Illang and Gongson Gi came out and gave a long speech about the purpose and purpose of the Moorim Convention.
“…so we decided to once again gather the knights scattered all over the world in order to eradicate that wicked cult.”
Merchant Yeonggyeol, a long-time shaman who looked around while letting an obvious sound go through one ear, widened to the size of a lantern.
During the speech of the servant, the two young men who were talking enthusiastically among themselves were Namcheon Yeonjeokha and Cheongungeom Namgungcheon.
Merchant Yeonggyeol hurriedly sent a telegram to the other masters.
The long men of the Chilpamun Gate called the escorts nearby and constantly ordered something.
When the heated conversation between Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-cheon fell into a lull for a while, the masters of the Hocheon-maeng musketeers approached, cutting through the crowd of onlookers.
“excuse me. Aren’t they Namcheon Daehyeop of Seokgyeongjang and Cheongungeom Daehyeop of Namgung family?”
The words ‘Namcheon’ and ‘Cheongwoon Sword’ made the audience agitated.
Known as the first person in the world, Namcheon is the son-in-law of the leader of the Southern Alliance, and Cheongwoon-geom is the head of the Namgung family.
Why did those two people participate in the Moorim Tournament of the rival Hocheon Maeng?
