Episode 933. I’ll do whatever you want.
Nammaeng has been famous since it was first created.
It is thanks to the sword king Namgung Byeok, the greatest master in the world, and his son-in-law, Namcheon Yeonjeokha.
At first, no one compared Nammaeng to Hocheonmaeng.
This is because Hocheonmaeng is a political faction alliance, while Nammaeng is a regional gathering created by Hefei.
However, the evaluation changed after the Nam Maeng’s quick response to the famous religion and the demonic religion.
People perceived the Nammaeng as an alternative to the nameless Hocheonmaeng.
After that, Nammaeng, which was not even comparable, was ahead of Hocheonmaeng in every way.
Naturally, not only Namjikryeseong, but also all over the world wanted to join the Southern Alliance.
In fact, there are more than 100 registered breakwaters.
Inquiries to join continued from Sichuan Province, where Tangga is located, and Bukjilyeseong, where Paengga is located.
In such a southern alliance, the proposal of the Namcheon Yeonjeokha was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
The trembling Sword King Namgung Byeok turned his gaze to the musketeer standing like a jangseung.
“When Hocheon Meng was sluggish, he expanded his powers and laid the foundation for management under the world…. Get out of hand? What do you think of the Musketeer? Do you really think we should give everything to Hocheonmeng?”
“….”
Mo Yong-wen of the Anti-Chun Il Sword couldn’t answer easily.
In areas where the leader did not ask, such as Sichuan Province and Bukjilgyeseong, where Tangga and Paengga were located, breakouts promising to join the Southern Alliance lined up.
If you include those places, there are more than 150 breakwaters under the Southern Alliance.
Contrary to what Namcheon Yeonjeokha saw, Nammaeng had already crossed the border of Namjilgyeseong Fortress.
Mo Yong-mun slowly opened his mouth at Namgung Byeok’s continued gaze.
“It seems that Namcheon Daehyeop said that because he did not yet know the status of the Southern Alliance. If I knew the scale of the breakwater belonging to the South Alliance, I wouldn’t have said that.”
“so?”
“First, let Namcheon Daehyeop properly know the status of the Southern Alliance… and then go in the direction of revising the Namcheon Grand Hyeop’s proposal, wouldn’t it?”
“How are you going to fix Namcheon’s proposal?”
When Namgung Byeok showed interest, Mo Yongwen’s argument became clearer.
“This is a proposal that the Southern Alliance, which is absolutely unfavorable to the Southern Alliance, cannot accept. Wouldn’t it be okay if you said that you would no longer accept the breakwaters under the Ho Chun Meng in your current state?”
“Would you accept that offer from Hocheonmaeng, which has already taken away the small breakwater?”
“It doesn’t matter how Hocheonmaeng reacts. It is important for Namcheon Daehyup to change its mind. At first, Namcheon Daehyeop’s proposal did not even consider us.”
It made sense, so Namgung Byeok nodded.
Anyway, Hocheon and Nammaeng have no choice but to follow the decision of Namcheon and the imperial family.
“If so, who would you like to send to the Seokgyeongjang?”
“My lord. Our musketeers don’t have any more plaques to use for the Seokgyeongjang.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Since you know the relationship between me and Namcheon Daehyeop, I won’t tell you. Mo Yong-gak and Baek-ik are afraid of the Namcheon Daehyeop, so it is impossible to talk.”
“You mean there’s no one to send to the Seokgyeongjang?”
“That’s right. I think the Lord Maeng will have to coordinate with the Namcheon Daehyeop himself.”
“…”
Namgung Byeok frowned.
As with the people of the Musketeers, he himself had a bad relationship with his younger brother.
Perhaps he made such a biased proposal out of resentment toward himself.
I’m sorry, but it’s not like that.
She didn’t feel good about him either.
The feelings that had accumulated over the Southern Alliance reached a climax with this absurd proposal.
Would you like to meet a younger brother like that?
Mo Yong-mun, who was watching Namgung Byeok’s eyes, cautiously took his luck.
“Recently, more and more people are saying that Lord Maeng and Namcheon Daehyeop are between dogs and cats. For the position of the South Alliance, such rumors must be quelled. Even for that, Lord Maeng visited the Seokgyeongjang…”
“To please Namcheon, remove your liver and gallbladder, right?”
“I fully understand how you feel, Lord. However, there are rumors that the relationship between the Lord Maeng and the Namcheon Daehyeop is bad, so there is nothing good for the Southern Alliance. For the sake of the South, I would like you to put aside your personal feelings for a while.”
“You’re not even a musketeer, so you’re asking me to do it?”
“Still, Lord Maeng is older than Namcheon Daehyeop, so can’t we convince him? Even if I and the people of the Musketeers go to Seokgyeongjang, they will only be swayed by him.”
Even Namgung Byeok couldn’t refute those words.
It is because he knows very well how the person who is outside the eyes of the enemy is treated.
If he hadn’t been a craftsman himself, he would have been treated the same as the people of the Musketeers.
Mo Yong-mun said to Namgung Byeok, who had a confused expression on his face.
“You will have to hurry. To tie a knot before Hocheonmaeng arrives at Namjiryeseong.”
“I know, so don’t rush me. Me too, meeting Namchun isn’t pleasant.”
“I hope for good results.”
“By the way, if it’s best not to accept it further in the current state, what’s the next best thing?”
“Will there be a lane?”
Mo Yong-mun looked at the South Palace wall with a calm face.
The meaning of Yeonjeokha was clear.
‘Nammaeng should only have Namjikryeseong’.
Therefore, the conclusion would be either possible or impossible.
Namgung Byeok also understood the meaning behind Mo Yong-mun’s question.
“I guess so.”
Namgung Byeok let out a long sigh.
There is no one in the world who will disobey the will of Yeonjeokha.
Although he is his father-in-law, he cannot do it if he opposes it.
He hoped that Yeon Jeok-ha would accept his offer.
If he destroys the tower he built with great effort…
then it will not be the severance of the ambiguous relationship like now, but the dissolution.

Hapbi.
Yeo Kang-Hyeon Seogyeongjang.
Audience.
Early in the morning, Yeonjeokha, Namgungyeon, and Namgungbyeok sat face to face.
The room was filled with the scent of tea, but no one drank tea.
Namgung Byeok got lucky.
“How old is your enemy?”
“Twenty-seven.”
“Huh! Has it already been that time? I saw it for the first time when I was six years old, and it’s already been 21 years. Time flies so fast.”
“I see.”
An awkward silence ensued after his reply.
Namgungbyeok, who by nature cannot turn around and speak, struck straight into it.
“I came because of what you said to Mo Yonggak and Baek Ik.”
“…”
The serial killer silently nodded.
I thought it would be because he is a craftsman who doesn’t come to visit if there is no work.
“Didn’t I tell the Southern League to stay only in Namjilgyeseong?”
“yes.”
“Do you know the size of the South Alliance?”
“You don’t know?”
“Leaving aside the number of South Korean breakwaters in Namjilgyeseong is meaningless. There are a hundred and five breakwaters in the Southern League in Henan, Huguang, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Zhejiang provinces around Nanjili. There are more than one hundred and fifty if you count the factions from Sichuan Province and Bukjilgyeseong that requested to join. If you do as you say, the Southern Alliance will lose a whopping 150 seawalls.”
“….”
I was surprised at the number that was higher than expected.
It was a huge number compared to the short history of the Southern Alliance.
“Now do you see how far from reality your proposal is?”
“Honestly, I was a bit surprised.”
“Your proposal is only for Hocheonbong. If you follow your proposal, the Southern Alliance will suffer enormous damage. If what you want is not unilateral damage from the Southern Alliance, I want you to reconsider.”
“I have no intention of taking sides.”
“But if you follow your current proposal, only the southern alliance will suffer greatly.”
“What do you want me to do for you, my father-in-law?”
“The Southern Alliance will no longer expand its power outside of Namjikryeseong. Instead, I want you to recognize the 150 breakwaters outside Namjilgyeseong as belonging to the South.”
Thinking deeply, Yeonjeokha shook his head.
“That seems difficult.”
“because?”
“If those 150 breakwaters fight against the breakwaters under Hocheonmaeng for commercial power, they will return to the starting point again. I think it would be better to just be satisfied with the male directness.”
“Not just one or two, but as many as 150 breakwaters under the Southern Alliance to be dedicated to the Hocheon Alliance?”
“Anyway, those breakouts belonged to the Tiger League, didn’t they?”
“They voluntarily joined the Confederacy. I mean, I’ve never taken a single breakwater by force.”
“But those breakers are taking away the surrounding commercial districts by force. That’s why I keep fighting with Hocheonmaeng. That doesn’t stop because your father-in-law forbids it, right?”
“But does it make sense to dedicate 150 seawalls to Hocheonmeng?”
“When the father-in-law Nam Maeng is in Nam Ji Rye Castle, the world will be at peace. Why do you keep trying to cause trouble?”
“Standing water tends to rot. Hocheonmaeng, the suzerain of Murim, was rotten. That’s why the Southern Alliance was created as an alternative. It means that the South is pure. Are you really trying to go against the law by force?”
“….”
Yeonjeok-ha, who was pushed by Namgung Byeok’s logic, couldn’t refute.
It was true that the Nam Maeng gained power instead of the Hocheon Maeng, which had become infamous.
At that time, Nam Gung-yeon took the place of Yeon Jeok-ha.
“It was natural for my father, Nam Maeng, to settle down in Namjikryeseong. But don’t say it’s natural for your father to covet the world.”
“Are you saying that the world belongs to the Chilpa clan?”
“Did you forget that the five generations also played a part in the Justice Alliance created by the Chilpamun?”
“But our Moorim family members were just maids.”
“So if you use the word ‘natural’, it’s even worse. You created the Southern Alliance out of your father’s desire to be treated as the master. If the Nam-maeng leaves Namjikryeseong, they have no choice but to fight the Hocheon-maeng. I mean, don’t wrap it up as a matter of course.”
“Are you asking me to admit that I am the lord of the world right now? Do you have to do that even while abandoning the breakwaters of the South?”
Blue light poured out of Namgung Byeok’s eyes as he watched Namgungyeon.
However, Namgoongyeon said with a calm face.
“If my father empties his mind, the world will be peaceful. Can you give me about a hundred and fifty seawalls for the sake of the world? Is it that difficult?”
“It is no exaggeration to say that the Southern Alliance is my life. One hundred and fifty seawalls are like my flesh. Does it come out that easily to take it off and give it to Hocheonmaeng? Can you just give away the ten businesses owned by Seokgyeongjang to your competitors?”
“If it is for the peace of Murim.”
Namgoongyeon answered without delay.
In front of Namgungyeon’s determined attitude, Namgung Byeok couldn’t help but despair.
Then came the sense of betrayal of her daughter and son-in-law.
Lastly, he was furious at his helplessness to have to listen to these sounds.
Trembling with such despair, betrayal, and anger, he opened his mouth with a sorrowful face.
“I have lived my life thinking of my family as more important than the world. But you, who can control the world, are asking me to sacrifice for the sake of the world. do whatever you want But since you denied my life, you and I are no longer family. I will never see you again after that.”
Soon, Namgung Byeok spurred his seat and left without a chance to catch up.
The startled Yeonjeokha hurriedly got up and followed the father-in-law.
Has it been about an hour (15 minutes) since then?
Yeon Jeok-ha, who returned to the guest room alone, sat on the edge of the floor as if collapsing.
“sister. Aren’t we being a bit harsh on your father-in-law?”
To be honest, when my father-in-law asked, ‘Can you give away the ten businesses owned by Seokgyeongjang to a competitor?’, he said inwardly ‘No’.
Why would you just give it away?
Even if they said, ‘If you don’t give it to Murim, Murim will perish.’
If you are going to ruin with only ten businesses, isn’t it better to just go bankrupt?
