Episode 992. So,
the sword king, Namgung Byeok, said he would raise the Southern Alliance so that he would not be shaken by the changes of the times.
If you think about it from the southern alliance’s point of view, it’s not wrong.
In any case, it is true that the larger the scale, the more stable it is.
The five generations and the sword king planned to divide the world into the Hocheon League and the Nam League.
It was a feasible future now that Namcheon is friendly to the Southern Alliance.
That’s why the sword king talked about the scale in front of his son-in-law and daughter.
Nam Gung-yeon thought it was time to tell his father and Nam Maeng about the unknown future.
“father. Don’t think that your enemy will be able to help your father forever.”
At the daughter’s words, the Sword King spoke as if he were sick.
“Of course, I am not saying that I and the Southern Alliance will do so unilaterally. Accept the enemy’s opinion…”
“The enemy will leave soon.”
“What do you mean?”
The Sword King looked at his daughter and son-in-law alternately with puzzled eyes.
You took your daughter’s words as a warning not to try to take advantage of your relationship with the South, but you’re leaving?
“Did you know that Jeokha and I went to ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’ with the famous religious master’s technique?”
“Everyone knows. That’s why we haven’t heard from you for two years. I can’t believe you’re going to ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’ again, right?”
“no. I went to the upper realm more than ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’.”
“Why are you going? Previously, it was because of the famous religious leader’s technique, but now there are no famous religious leaders. Hey, tell me.”
The Sword King considered all of them to be Namgungyeon’s resourcefulness to stop the Southern Alliance and asked Yeonjeokha.
It’s because he’s dull in the way of dating, and he doesn’t lie.
Namgungyeon nodded at Yeonjeokha.
He briefly explained the promise he made to help Gucheonhyeon-nyeo and the story of the son-of-a-thousand and the priest of gold.
“…So sooner or later we have to go to a place called ‘the fourth heaven’. I don’t know how long it will take before I get back from that. Considering the time I spent in ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’… I don’t think ‘The Fourth Heaven’ will be short either.”
“Grunt!”
A sound of pain flowed from the Sword King’s mouth.
Yeonjeokha has to go to Sanggye?
I don’t know what kind of dog bone this is.
When I think of ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’, I don’t know when it will be at least two years long.
During that time, the South must hold their breath and wait for him.
Of course, a year or two will be able to hide it somehow.
Yeonjeokha’s Seokgyeongjang doesn’t do any gangho activities at all.
But if he doesn’t show his face for a few years, Ho Tian Meng is sure to think it’s strange.
Maybe not for a few years.
If you spy on the stone sutras in the name of greeting, you will soon find out about his absence.
After that, I will make a few provocations to confirm the facts.
If Namcheon remains silent in response to that provocation, they will attack the South.
Yeon Jeok-ha’s going to the ‘fourth sky’ was like the fall of the Southern Alliance.
It just has to be blocked.
The sword king, who was worried, asked indirectly.
“Hey Jeokha, if you leave for Sanggye now, there will be bloodshed in this world. Which do you think is more important, the upper world or the security of this world?”
it says don’t go
However, he wasn’t too swayed by his adversary’s words.
The conflict between the gang and ho continued regardless of whether he was confident or not, but the situation in Sanggye is different.
He is responsible for preventing the cataclysm that the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Temple will cause in the upper world. Besides, he couldn’t break his promise with Gucheonhyeonnyeo.
“Father-in-law. The bloodshed in this world can be minimized with the efforts of the father-in-law and the Southern Alliance, but no one but me can do anything about the upper limit.”
“Can it be minimized through the efforts of the Southern Alliance? you’re welcome. The Confederacy will perish. Do you think the Hocheon League would just leave the South without you?”
“If the Southern Meng doesn’t touch the Mugeuk Gate and expand their power outside the Namjirye Fortress, the Hocheon Meng will also leave the Nam Meng alone.”
“If it is known that you are gone, Mu Geuk Moon will aim again in all directions. Then Hocheonmaeng will be involved as before. What next? Nanjing will fall into the hands of Hu Tian Meng again.”
“If the Southern Alliance does not wage an all-out war with the Hocheon League, there is no reason for the Hocheon League to advance to Nanjing. isn’t it? sister?”
He attracted Namgung-yeon, who had a rivalry.
This is because there is no one who can follow Namgung-yeon in predicting the situation of Gangho.
“Your enemy is right. If the Southern League makes concessions in many areas, the Hocheon League will not advance as far as Nanjing.”
“Are you saying that I should give back to Mugeukmun the fortunes I’ve earned so hard?”
“If you don’t want to lose Nanjing to Hocheonmaeng, you will have to do that. Don’t try to confront the Mugeukmun over the four gates. If you do, you will have to bring Hocheon-meng to Nanjing.”
“If it is known that there is no enemy, do you think Wu Geuk Gate will be satisfied with the two gates? They will continue to expand their county. This is not to say that the problem will not be solved by the Southern Alliance standing still. It is only a matter of time before Nanjing falls into the hands of Hu Chun-Meng.”
“You said it well. That time is what my father and the Southern Alliance need. The Southern Alliance must buy as much time as possible for the enemy to return. So, even if the Mugeuk Gate expands its power little by little, just ignore it and let it go. If the Haeng-yeo or the Nam-maeng moves, the Hocheon-maeng will also respond. If that happens, it may really turn out to be what your father fears.”
“Hey enemy. When can you come back?”
When the will of his son-in-law and daughter was firm, the sword king changed the direction of the question.
If Yeonjeokha couldn’t stop him from going to Sanggye, he had to know when he would return.
“I do not know.”
“You don’t know? Are you going to upper world without knowing when you will return? What about your wife and daughter?”
“I’m also frustrated, but I don’t know anything about the upper limit. I will be back as soon as I finish my work.”
Yeonjeokha said with a determined face.
I was thinking of doing that even for the sake of my family left behind at the Seokgyeongjang.
“Still, I would like to know, at least roughly, how long it will take to return. It doesn’t have to be exact.”
“Since I have fortune telling, I think I will solve it within two or three years at the earliest and within five years at the latest.”
At the word ‘five years’, the sword king’s expression hardened.
It was astounding to have to endure another five years of humiliation with the world domination just around the corner.
But there is nothing I can’t do.
It takes about two years for Hocheon Meng to know that Yeonjeokha has disappeared, so it only takes three years.
“When are you planning to leave?”
“After looking around at the people I’ve had a relationship with.”
Only then did the Sword King know why his daughter and son-in-law suddenly left the Seokgyeongjang.
It seems that he was tidying up his surroundings before leaving for Sanggye.
If you have already decided and are moving, it will be even more difficult to reverse.
If things have reached this point, you should let them go neatly, even if you don’t feel like it.
“i get it. Please come back quickly for the sake of your wife and Ji An, who will be waiting at the Seokgyeongjang.”
“yes. And father-in-law.”
At Yeonjeokha’s call, the Sword King met his eyes.
“I think it would be better to do what my sister said about Mugeukmun’s work and expanding the family outside of Namjiryeseong.”
“I know what you are concerned about, but I think differently.”
Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon looked at the Sword King with worried eyes.
Either that or not, the Sword King continued to speak.
“As for expanding tax outside of Namjiryeseong, I will do as you say. However, I plan to handle the affairs of Mu Geuk Moon as scheduled. It is because Nanjing will be stable only when Muji Gate is driven out of Nanjing.”
The Sword King thought that if Mugeukmun was left in Nanjing, it would become a nuisance.
“What if Mu Geuk-mun later asserts their rights?”
“Is it really so? Hundreds of thousands of hermits are consumed in the process of the Munpa moving their base. Do you think Wu Geuk Wen will return to Nanjing after spending that much money again? It will take at least tens of years to collect that amount of hermits.”
The Sword King was optimistic about the issue of the Mugeuk Gate.
This is because, once sent out of Nanjing, it is not easy to return.
It was embarrassing to have a relationship, but I didn’t say more.
It’s because I don’t want to quarrel with my father-in-law anyway.
It was the same with Namgoongyeon.
Not wanting to get involved in the affairs of the South, she listened with one ear and let it out.
After a while, Jian, Wol-ah, and Geum-ah returned to Gaekcheong.
It was dark at night, so So-yoon said she stayed in the main house.
The Sword King hugged his granddaughter whom he hadn’t seen in a while and left quietly.
After putting Ji An to sleep, Yeon Jeok Ha asked Nam Gung Yeon.
“What do you think, sister, about driving Mu Geukmun out of Nanjing?”
“However, that is the source of conflict. Are you going to stay still after being kicked out of Chilpaimun’s face?”
“But why does your father-in-law say that Mugeukmun won’t come back?”
“It is true, like my father said, that relocating a clan requires an enormous amount of money. It’s not easy going back when you think about it. But there’s something my father overlooked. Mugeukmun doesn’t have any money, but Hucheon Meng can provide money. If I were the musketeer of Hocheonmaeng, I would incite Mugeukmun and push into Nanjing. At that time, not all of Imunsabang, but all of Nanjing would be taken away, right?”
“But why didn’t you tell your father-in-law that?”
“Father hears only what you want to hear. When you asked what Mugeukmun would do if they insisted on their rights, you said you wouldn’t do it because you didn’t have money. Of course, there is a point in what my father said. It’s true that it’s hard to come back within a few years if you only think about the Wu Geuk Gate.”
“But if Ho Chun Meng applies, he can go back anytime.”
“yes.”
“Why doesn’t your father-in-law think that Hao Cheon Meng can support Wu Geuk Gate?”
“That’s the hallmark of ruined people. The Southern Men do what they want and say it as if it makes the most sense. No medicine can fix that.”
“What will happen to the Southern Alliance?”
“If you kick out Wu Geuk Gate, Nanjing will be taken away before you return, right? Maybe the Southern Alliance will be disbanded.”
“Isn’t it a big deal then?”
“I feel sorry for my father, but when the South Alliance is disbanded, Moorim will be quiet. It’s because we’re going back to the days of the Justice League and the Heaven and Earth League.”
“Would your father-in-law be okay?”
“It will be fine. Even Ho Chun Meng would not intend to kill his father and become enemies with you. When will you come back, are you going to go that far?”
“Then I’d rather be happy. I am worried that my father-in-law and Namgoongse will get hurt in the process.”
After a moment of silence, Namgoongyeon spoke.
“Hey enemy. I hate my father and the Southern Alliance. If it weren’t for my father and the South Meng, I would have stopped you from going to Sanggye. If you really said you had to go… I would have told you to go, not now, but in the distant future.”
“sorry. sister. It’s just because of me…”
“It’s not because of you. As long as your father and the South are trying to use you, the world won’t be quiet for a moment. It’s hard enough to die, but that’s why I want to let you go. So… don’t even worry about them.”
I kept my mouth shut at Namgung-yeon’s indignant tone.
He thought it would be easy to go to Sanggye because of his experience of going to ‘Bumcheonyokgyewangjaecheon’, but he didn’t know that there would be such anger in her heart.
“If my sister doesn’t go, I might not go.”
“I hope you will not be tormented by the guilt of setting off. Besides, you said If you are there, the bloodshed will not stop in Murim. So go.”
Namgungyeon gritted his teeth.
If I didn’t do that, the word ‘don’t go’ would come out at any moment.
