Episode 1152 Well, if it’s absolutely necessary. (2)
When I finally came to my senses, the first thought I had was only one thing.
‘We have to sort things out!’
If I can’t handle this situation somehow, the moment I leave this room, I might die under the feet of those people who are glaring at me with ghost-like eyes.
Then, a tombstone will be erected with the inscription ‘Nangong Yi University goes side by side on the Yangtze River.’
Everyone will be in shock. At least the father fought bravely, but the son foolishly made fun of him and was punished for it.
‘Oh, no.’
Among the numerous paintings of his own end that Namgung Do-wi had drawn, there was no such picture. Namgung Do-wi, who was trembling with an extreme sense of crisis, desperately opened his mouth.
“It would be better to postpone this matter for now…”
“Why? It looks good. You can do it right away. “What a great thing.”
“That’s not true!”
Nangong Daowi’s head began to spin more violently than at any time in his life.
“Creating the right position and appointing the right person to that position is really important. “It’s not something that can be decided in a hurry in a situation like this!”
“Hmm?”
“Isn’t it said that people matter everything? A dynasty that failed to properly greet people from generation to generation was sure to fall! So you absolutely must take it seriously!”
“…That much?”
“Isn’t this all natural!”
“Hmmmm.”
Cheongmyeong licked his lips as if he felt something was missing.
“But isn’t it okay to just decide on a few important positions in advance and fill the other minor positions later?”
“That is not the case with the human mind. If you decide on an important position first, wouldn’t it be a bit lazy to choose the subsequent positions?”
“….”
“I hope you understand that everything is just my thoughts about Cheon Woo-maeng!”
“Well, if you say it that way….”
“That’s right. Cheongmyeong. “I don’t think this is something we can decide right here.”
“That’s right, Hwasan Sword Association. “I will think deeply about this matter with the elders.”
When King Hyeonjong and Tang Gunak took the side of Namgung Dowi, Cheongmyeong took a sip and took a step back.
“Well, if you really mean that…”
“Haha. Okay, okay. “It’s not that simple, then.”
At that time, Cheongmyeong glanced back at Namgung Dowi.
“But…”
“Yes?”
“Lord Nangong Soga has become very fluent with his tongue.”
“….”
“I don’t think it was originally like that. “Is it because I’ve been hanging out with Sapa bastards lately?”
“….”
“I learn something good. “It’s Jo Oh-eun.”
Feeling aggrieved, Nangung Dowi distorted his face and closed his mouth. Even so, you can’t believe I’m comparing it to that Sapa monster!
“I took a look.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled and turned his head to look at everyone.
“Then what about the other agenda?”
“Hmm. It’s on the agenda…”
Tang Gunak slightly cleared his throat. Even though I’ve already experienced this many times, I still haven’t gotten used to the idea of everyone exchanging opinions on equal footing. But in times like this, he has to give some kind of opinion.
“Hey, Hwasan Sword Association.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
“War will break out, right?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes became sad as he looked at Tanggunak. I mean, what kind of new story is this now?
“Then do you plan to maintain this Yangtze River front until war breaks out?”
“That’s not for us to decide.”
“huh?”
“It’s up to the old file room guys to decide. “Those bastards aren’t emptying their rooms, so it’s a bit weird for us to empty them first, isn’t it?”
“That is certainly true.”
Tang Gunak frowned slightly.
‘What on earth is the court thinking?’
Cheon Woo-maeng also settled here half by accident, but in fact, it was Shaolin, the Gupa Ilbang, and the Five Generations who settled on the Yangtze River even more suddenly.
To be more precise, it should be said that among the nine factions and the five major factions, there are several factions that share the same views as Shaolin.
When this story came out, Baekcheon scratched his head.
“Now that we think about it, we were so urgent that we couldn’t pay attention at all, so what on earth are they doing?”
“huh?”
“Isn’t that right? “We train here, and in fact, it is unclear where people outside of the new group can join, so we naturally settled down here… but that’s not the case at Gu File Room and Odaesega.”
“Of course it is.”
“I think I can pull out at any time if I want to…”
In the beginning, Gupailbang couldn’t easily leave the Yangtze River either. This is because it was impossible to know when the Sapaeryeon would cross the river. But now?
“…There’s no way they didn’t know about the information that the SPA League needs internal overhaul.”
“That’s being too dismissive of the old file room. Of course you know.”
I didn’t understand at all. If the Sapae-ryeon does not move north, there is no need for the old faction to guard the Yangtze River basin. But why is it still sitting there?
“Why do you think it’s so complicated?”
“Hmm?”
Everyone’s eyes are focused on Cheongmyeong’s face. The expression on his face was extremely sad.
“You’re not thinking that deeply, are you? “You just have to think about it from their perspective.”
“…What does that mean?”
“What would you do if the head of the family were in that bald man’s position? I ran as hard as I could, but there was nothing I did. “I heard that the Demonic Cult was in full swing, so I tried to use that as an opportunity, but some guys went and took care of it.”
When I changed my position and thought about it, I thought it would be very difficult.
“We tend not to care about such things, but that great bald man cares a great deal.”
“You’re talking about respect and justification.”
“yes. “That’s it.”
Cheongmyeong smiled and continued speaking.
“I don’t know, but in that situation, they wouldn’t have wanted to leave the Yangtze River before us. They would at least want to go back with the justification that they protected the Yangtze River until the end. At first, you probably thought of just one thing. “After watching for a while, we will disperse and go back to our respective clans, and then they will join us.”
“…ah.”
“yes. But we are not going home.”
“….”
“In a situation like that, if we ask them why they don’t go to your house, will they burst out laughing and die?”
Tang Gunak laughed.
“You are not entirely wrong, but it is not as easy as you think to leave the sect’s headquarters and spend time here. “It wouldn’t be a problem as long as Jongnam was enthroned like a volcano and there was no other clan that could influence Seomseo, but for other clans, a brief hiatus could cause fatal problems.”
“hmm?”
“Of course, it’s not that the respect and justification you mentioned didn’t have a huge impact, but I think it’s a bit excessive to think that they’re staying that way for that reason alone. “It will definitely not be that.”
The moment Tang Gunak spoke with confidence, Lim So-byeong suddenly intervened.
“What are you half-thinking?”
Tanggunak’s eyes turned to him. Lim So-byeong leaned his back against the wall of the room and spoke with a drowsy face.
“It was said that Sun Tzu would burn himself to death if he were to be punished, but all of our noble political factions know their enemies but do not know themselves.”
“What does that mean?”
When Tang Gunak asked, Lim So-byeong chuckled.
“Think about it. Think about it. “Wouldn’t they have been watching what we were doing over there?”
“I guess so… right?”
In the first place, this manor was not structured to hide internal affairs from the outside. Moreover, since the people in charge of the manor came and went countless times, they would have been able to easily obtain information from this place without the need to mobilize the public.
And in fact, in some ways, they would have been more curious about the movements of Cheonwoo-maeng than the Sapaeryeon, so they would have naturally been interested.
“Then what are they thinking?”
“What are you thinking?”
“I want you to think about what they must have been seeing and hearing during this time.”
“What did you see and hear?…”
At that moment, Baekcheon opened his mouth.
“Hwasan and Dangga have been fighting all day.”
Yoonjong supported him.
“The head of the Tang family was so angry that he took the elders with him and beat up his disciples like catching rats.”
The party leader quietly intervened.
“Suddenly, the Beast Palace from Yunnan has entered the war there and is fighting with other sects?”
Nangung Dowi continued speaking while breaking into a cold sweat.
“Could it be possible that the rumor that the Namgung family is engaging in a fight with Nokrim has spread?”
Just as Tang Gunak’s expression was distorted, Jo Geol, with his hands clasped behind his head, smiled and continued speaking.
“Cheongmyeong must have heard that he lost half his mind after seeing that final blow.”
“…uh?”
“Do you understand?”
Lim So-byeong said, “Look at this.”
“Now I’m like, ‘What the hell are you guys doing here?’ “It’s probably not us who wants to ask that question, it’s probably them over there.”
Tanggunak could neither cry nor laugh anymore.

“Bangjang.”
“….”
“How long do you plan on staying here?”
“….”
“You’re not planning on burying your bones here, are you?”
The head of the room was silent with his eyes closed. Jong-li-hyung did not give up and chased him again.
“Don’t you know the room manager? For a while, Sapaeryun will not be able to travel north. The waterway that currently occupies Maehwado Island cannot afford to cross the Yangtze River. “There is no way that Surochae, whose leader is injured, can carry out the work alone without the support of the Society.”
“….”
“But why do you keep staying here! “How many days have you been wasting time wasting your time?”
Jong-ri-hyung could not overcome his frustration and pounded his chest.
“The discontent among the disciples is indescribable. I’m the same, but shouldn’t you also understand the feelings of those who left their hometown in a hurry and are stranded in this far away land? “There are already frequent calls from the Paeng family to break away from here, even on their own!”
“….”
“Director! Please say something!”
At that moment, the court slowly opened its closed eyes. But that was all he did, looking at Zhongli-hyung with deeply sunken eyes. There was still no word.
“…the room manager.”
In response, Jong-ri-hyung opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind. The voice was lower than usual.
“I wasn’t going to say this, but now the word is going around among the kids that the manager got scared. They say that when you grow up, you are surprised when you look at the lid of the pot. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“…Did you say it was a pot lid?”
“yes. Host! That much now….”
“What’s the problem with that?”
“…yes?”
Jong Li-hyung, embarrassed, opened his eyes wide and looked at the court. The court remained calm.
“Why is it wrong for someone who has been bitten by Zara to look at the pot lid and be surprised? “It would be even more foolish to pretend like nothing happened and then get bitten again.”
The court changed its teeth slightly.
“Even though I may be called foolish and frustrated, can’t I be humiliated by them again? “Am I wrong?”
“Bar manager.”
The court’s eyes were clearly focused on Jong Li-hyung, who was sitting across from him. But what he was really seeing was the image of Cheongmyeong rising beyond the bell tower.
‘Hwasan Sword Association.’
The court let out a long breath through its nose.
‘What trick are you doing again?’
The illusion of Cheongmyeong chuckled. The court clenched its fists without realizing it.
