# Episode 1185: I will carry it. (4) – 22.03.30
Although it was well packaged on the outside, no one here thought that Baekcheon’s ‘good’ words really had a ‘good’ meaning.
‘Oh my…’
‘That room manager…’
The owners of Cheonwoo-maeng looked at Baekcheon with faces as if their eyes would pop out at any moment.
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the court get screwed. Because the person who attacked me in the first place is here. But…
‘The method is different, but this is more…’
Namgung Do-wi secretly looked at the court’s complexion. As expected, the corners of his mouth were twitching faintly. That slight tremor gave me an idea of how the court was feeling right now.
Even Jo Geol, who was thinking about kicking the room manager when she saw him, looked around with a slightly fed up face and quietly asked Yoonjong.
“Death penalty.”
“why?”
“Is it okay for me to be like that?”
“Is that okay?”
Yoonjong answered harshly. But Jo Geol couldn’t be that calm.
“But why is Sasuk doing that?”
“Why? That guy was always like that.”
At the moment Jo Geol was at a loss for words, she closed her mouth like a clam.
‘That’s true…’
From the outside, you might think that the person just leaving the volcano after Cheongmyeong is Jo Geol, but you would be wrong. If you ask Hwasan disciples, it is certain that not a single person will disagree and they will all answer that Baekcheon is the most sane person.
No, that’s still true. The opponent was that court…
At that moment, the silent court opened its mouth.
“Long sentence, sir.”
It was a short voice, but everyone here could understand. The court’s voice has become noticeably lower than before.
“Yes, Bangjang.”
“…Is that what volcano means?”
“That’s right.”
But Baekcheon, who was dealing with the court, remained calm.
“…Do you also agree with this, Lord?”
As the court glared at him with sharp eyes, Hyeonjong glanced at Baekcheon’s back and shook his head.
“You shouldn’t ask that, boss.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have already delegated all authority regarding this matter to Manager Jang Moon. So, it is not your place to ask my opinion. Even if it were me, I cannot overturn Manager Jang Moon’s will now.”
The corners of the court’s eyes were visibly trembling.
Even those who had nothing but negative feelings towards the person called the court felt momentarily uneasy at the sight. But I couldn’t deny the fact that the excitement was greater than the anxiety.
“Then it means that Hwasan will not share his cause with Shaolin.”
“Yes. However, this is just the meaning of Hwasan. The meaning of Cheonyu-maeng may be different.”
The court, which was glaring at Baekcheon with menacing eyes, turned its gaze to Hyeonjong.
“What is the meaning of Cheon Yu-maeng?”
“Now that the situation has changed, we have to ask again what it means.”
“Then ask here and now.”
“No, boss, that’s…”
“Is there a reason it’s difficult?”
A chill dripped from the faces of the courtroom.
“Didn’t you say that you can ignore formality and courtesy because the time is urgent? You wouldn’t say that you need extra time for something so urgent, right?”
Since even deciding on a long list was done in front of him, asking for his opinion also means doing it in front of him. Although it was an excessive request, the words themselves were flawless.
It was the moment when the court was about to lash out at Hyeonjong by saying one more word.
“You don’t have to ask us.”
Namgung Dowi sat still and calmly opened his mouth.
“We already answered. It’s no different than the first time.”
Only then did the expressions in the courtroom calm down.
“It’s a wise choice, Sogaju. Old feelings…”
“I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
The court was shocked by the remarks of Namgung Do-wi, who came in after interrupting the conversation for a moment. What kind of misunderstanding is there? If we say it right now, it means that Namgoong has already expressed his intention to rejoin the Five Generations.
Namgung Do-wi opened his mouth as if he had read a young question in the court’s gaze.
“Before this meeting, Namgoong clearly stated that he would follow Jang Moon-in’s decision.”
“That’s…”
“It’s a long sentence from a volcano.”
Only then did the court understand what Namgung Dowi was talking about and gritted his teeth without realizing it.
“Nothing has changed. If Deputy Jang Mun of Hwasan has made a decision, Namgung agrees with his will. The Namgung family will not return to the Five Great Houses either.”
“Sogaju!”
The moment the court raised its voice, a soft laugh escaped Tanggunak’s mouth.
“With the Five Dynasties without Namgung, it is difficult to find a reason for the Sichuan Tang Family to return. The Bangjang Tang Family will also follow Hwasan’s decision.”
Wow.
The court chewed its lips and glared at Tang Gunak. Baekcheon and Namgung Dowi are still young, so they can be swayed by blood and energy. But how can Tanggunak, who has now lived enough to know the world, say such a thing?
But Tanggunak was just leisurely.
“There are some things in this world that cannot be calculated by just flicking an abacus. Moreover… if I say that I will join the Five Great Families, the family head of the party will also change, so what can I do? I can’t retreat to the back room already. “There isn’t one.”
At those words, everyone looked at the party flag. The party leader cleared his throat with a humble expression on his face.
“No… I didn’t really think about it that much, but I just thought I should talk about it seriously.”
“…I had an idea.”
“I saw this right in front of me.”
“It might be a little disappointing.”
“Keuheum, this is a frame-up.”
The atmosphere begins to relax due to the jokes about the party losing. No one was laughing openly, but short bursts of laughter came faintly here and there. The expressions in the courtroom became even more stern due to the completely changed atmosphere.
“Bbingungdo too!”
At that time, Seol So-baek shouted with a red face as if he was excited.
“The North Sea Ice Palace will also join Hwasan in that will. If Hwasan protects the Cheonwoo Alliance, the Ice Palace will also join Hwasan in protecting the Cheonwoo Alliance until the end!”
Baekcheon smiled at Seolsobaek.
“Thank you, my palace lord.”
“Nothing to say! Isn’t this such a natural thing?”
Meng So, who calmed the shaking Seol So-baek by lightly pulling the hem of his clothes, looked at the court with a meaningful smile.
“If the situation is like this, the head of the room will not be very pleased if we say that the Nanman Beast Palace enters the nine-file room separately.”
“……”
“Since the guest cannot ask for a seat when the owner does not welcome it, the Nanman Beast Palace will also remain in Cheonwoomaeng. It will be a good thing that the owner will not be upset.”
It was a horse with a bone. However, the court could not open its mouth to refute even though it felt its hardness.
Then, people’s attention naturally turns to the one remaining person. The person who received that gaze blurted out something.
“What are you looking at?”
Lim So-byeong openly showed his displeasure and gestured as if he was chasing a neighborhood dog.
“Not all the well-established political faction members go in, but if the bandits stick their spoons into the old faction’s rice bowl without even noticing, they get hit on the head. I’m not an asshole.”
“……”
“You should give them some choice and ask them to choose. You should have asked them first.”
But when their gaze did not break, Lim So-byeong waved his hand in disgust.
“Oh, I’m staying. I’m staying. Do I really have to say that with my own mouth?”
That was the end. Even before King Hyeonjong spoke of the disbandment of the Cheonwoo League, all factions belonging to the group agreed to its continuation.
Lim So-byeong said with a grin.
“But I don’t know if it’s too hasty. Let alone us, the members of the political sect would have something to gain by going over there. Don’t you think Lord Soga of Nangong will feel sorry? Isn’t he hitting the ground on the inside?”
At those words, Namgung Dowi glanced back at him with an annoyed face and sighed.
“As I said… Namgung only shares in Hwasan’s will.”
“Well, that’s it…”
“If you receive a favor, you have to repay it. That’s natural. But that’s not everything.”
Namgung Dowi continued speaking firmly.
“Even when there was only grace, Namgung tried to follow Hwasan. But now, there is more than just grace between Hwasan and Namgung. For a long time, we trained together, and sometimes we hit, got beaten, cursed, and rolled on the floor together. ”
Nangung Dowi’s gaze turned to Baekcheon. To him, if Hyeonjong was just someone to be thankful for, Baekcheon had a slightly different meaning to him.
“Do you know what they call those people?”
“yes?”
“They say they are close friends.”
Namgung Dowi spoke while looking at Baekcheon and smiled slightly.
“Of course, our affection is not that deep, and we have only accumulated hatred, so we are closer to bad friends than close friends. But even so, aren’t we close friends? If it is Namgung’s duty to return the favor to Hwasan, it is Namgung’s will to want to go with his close friend.”
This time, Nangung Dowi’s gaze turned to the court.
“And… Anyway, Manager Jang Moon thought I was great and showed faith in me. Even though in the manager’s eyes, I would still only be seen as an untrustworthy brat.”
The court frowned. Nangong Daowi shrugged his shoulders.
“If you’re not stupid, it would be right to choose a place that pays more for me. I even have friends there, so why would Namgung hesitate any more? There is no reason to return to the Five Houses.”
Lim So-byeong chuckled at those words.
“I thought he was born with a wealthy status, but it turned out he was just a wealthy person. I wonder if he would live in shame for someone who was born without one.”
The laughter comes out a little louder at Lim So-byeong’s joke.
But the court couldn’t help but laugh. Instead of laughing, he just glared at Baekcheon with chilling eyes.
‘This is why… This is why this situation had to be prevented.’
This is something I already knew. If you get a volcano, you gain everything, but if you lose a volcano, you lose everything.
Therefore, Hyeonjong and Cheongmyeong, the center of the volcano, led them down a path from which they could not escape. However, someone completely unexpected, neither Hyeonjong nor Cheongmyeong, suddenly appeared and ruined all of his plans.
‘No, not yet.’
The court suppressed the rising anger and anger. If it had been before, I might have just screamed as loud as I did, but it’s not like it used to be either. He still has a way to go.
The court gazed at Baekcheon, mustering up as much patience as it could muster. If the situation has come this far because of Baekcheon alone, it means that if Baekcheon’s will is broken, everything can go back to normal.
“Long sentence, sir.”
“Yes, Bangjang.”
“Director Jang Moon, do you think the choice Hwasan has made right now is the right one?”
At that question, Baekcheon stared at the court in silence.
The heavy gaze of the court, a giant of the times, fell on Baekcheon.
“You made your choice with full of blood and raised your voice to each other, but Deputy Jang Moon was unable to prove in the slightest that the choice he made was justifiable. If you make the wrong choice just out of blood and without logic, how on earth are you going to bear the countless blood that will be shed because of it?”
Baekcheon’s lips were tightly shut. The court gained more momentum.
“Do you really want to go down the path of becoming a sinner of the past? Is it because you don’t know how big a disaster that choice will throw the world into?”
It was a cry like frost. The court’s hands on his lap were shaking as he couldn’t control his emotions.
Baekcheon quietly looked at the court. As if he was going to accept all the decisions correctly. And only after a while did he slowly open his mouth and ask.
“Did you say it was bloody?”
“That’s right.”
“I think there’s a misunderstanding, manager.”
The court’s eyes became harsh.
“What kind of misunderstanding is there here!”
“Of course, I am still just a young man full of energy. Of course, I can make misjudgments and I lack experience.”
“If you know…”
“One.”
At that moment, Baekcheon’s low-pitched voice cut off the court’s words and sharply pierced his ears.
“I don’t know if that’s the case, but the Jangmun of Hwasan doesn’t choose the direction of the sect based on blood or anything else. That’s because that’s his position as a Jang of Hwasan.”
“What…”
“Please understand clearly. The person you are facing now is not Baek Cheon, the Great Disciple of Lee, but Baek Cheon, Deputy Jangmun of Hwasan.”
“Long sentence!”
“and!”
At that moment, Baekcheon glared at the court with an angry face.
“If you know what kind of place Hwasan is, if you know what the ancestors of Hwasan did for the world! Before you curse and raise your voice for being foolish.”
Baekcheon paused for a moment, and his cold eyes cut across the court.
“Take care of the etiquette that a representative of Hwasan should have. That is the duty that people must follow. Do you understand?”
Wow!
The prayer beads held in the court’s hands eventually shattered into pieces.
