Episode 1203 What’s the difference? (3)
The beggar went to a corner hut, lifted the straw hanging from the door, and kicked in, scattering all the raw rice in his hand.
“Buntaju!”
“How do you feel?”
Hong Dae-gwang, who was half-lying in a corner of the hut, quickly got up and asked.
“What do you think? “It’s hot.”
“huh?”
“It’s not like we’re divided in half and fighting and making a fuss. I’ve looked at a few places, and they’re all similar.”
A groan came out of Hong Dae-gwang’s mouth.
“These people are really doing it too much. How much has Cheon Woo-maeng done for them so far?”
“How do people remember that? They wonder what more they can give in the future. There is no way that a person who has lived as a beggar his whole life would not know that he is cruel to the world.”
“Are you doing this because you don’t know? It’s because you’re upset!”
Hong Dae-gwang’s face was irritated.
The fact that public opinion is divided in half doesn’t seem like a bad situation depending on what you hear. Anyway, it means that half of those who understand Chun Woo-maeng’s position are also half. But that’s considering the
situation before . This is the story of when this was not done. Before this matter spread, the common people were overwhelmingly supporting the Cheonwoo Meng, not the old faction. In recent years, the old faction has done nothing
for the common people, while the Cheonwoo Meng has not only supported the civilians in the Yangtze River basin. Didn’t he risk his life and rush to Hangzhou to drive out the Demon Cult?
Anyone with ears and brains could not help but support Cheon Woo-maeng.
In such a situation, the fact that public opinion was split in half means that the court’s justification was properly served. That was the meaning. The old group, which had been flocking in succession, had finally dealt a real blow to Cheon Woo-maeng this time.
‘That rotten bastard…’
Hong Dae-gwang quickly changed his mind.
The cunning court did not convey the facts as they were. . Pretending to convey it as it is, he quietly inserted between words the interpretation that Cheon Woo-maeng even refused the concessions of the old faction for his own gain. It was not so excessive that it would be difficult to point out and
explain.
“The Shaolin leader position was won in a battle . It’s not a problem, so this is natural, but…”
Nevertheless, the reason why there are curses is because the position of the head of Shaolin is inherently a position where one must advocate for the greater good, not subtle politics.
“Is there nothing to be said in the Cheonwoo League? ”
“What can you say? “It’s not particularly wrong.”
If you think about it, the fact that Hwasan rejected the court’s proposal to join forces is true in itself. Of course, there may be differences in the details, but people don’t pay much attention to the details of other people’s circumstances.
“Don’t you have something to say? Actually, what is it that you regret about Tian Yu-meng that you are now bowing your head and entering the Nine Sect?”
“That’s how we see it, and in the eyes of ordinary citizens, Gupa is still a much bigger place and has a deeper history.”
“Hmm… I guess that’s true.”
“So, if the two join forces, you would naturally think that it would be natural for Cheonyu-maeng to disappear and the Nine Sects to remain.”
“That feels weird.”
Dong-gwak scratched his head.
Anyway, Gyeong-do also belongs to Gu-file Il-bang, so he should feel good that the people are giving more preferential treatment to Gu-file Il-bang. However, as a member of Hwaeum Bunta, who lived closely with Hwasan, this is something to be happy about. It wasn’t. That’s why it felt strange.
“So? You were just listening?”
“…Then what are you going to do?”
“Hey, you idiot! You were just listening to what ignorant people were saying? You should have pointed it out from the side! That’s not the case!”
“Oh my gosh, Buntaju, come to your senses!”
Dong-gwak looked at Hong Dae-gwang as if it was absurd.
“No matter how close we are to volcanoes, how can we refuse orders from above? “Isn’t what we need to do now not be to defend Cheon Woo-maeng, but to convey Bangjang’s position to the whole world?”
“so? “Spread those words that disparage the Hwasan people through my mouth?”
“Who told you to go that far? You can’t follow orders, but you can’t go in the complete opposite direction, right? Then, if the higher-ups get caught, even Buntaju will be blown away. That’s why I don’t know. “Is it you?”
“Fuck you.”
In the end, Hong Dae-kwang, who had cursed, snorted.
“Those who call beggars dirty are the funniest ones. There are so many dirty people. My rotten self is vibrating! My rotten self!”
“Be careful what you say. And then you really get excommunicated.”
“If I’m excommunicated, I have nowhere else to go? All you have to do is join Hwasan!”
“……You won’t accept it?”
“What? The Hwasan Sword Association is my friend, you bastard!”
“Isn’t it important whether the Hwasan Swordsman Association thinks so?”
“But what about this bastard from before?”
When Hong Dae-gwang grabbed the stick next to him, Dong-gwak flinched and quickly shook his head.
“Mr. A!”
A pair of sounds came out from Hong Dae-gwang’s mouth again.
The place where he is now is the Yangtze River basin. Along with Shaanxi and Sichuan, it was one of the three places in the world where public opinion was the most favorable to Chen Yumeng. If public opinion is split in half here, isn’t it obvious what would happen elsewhere?
“No matter how much a person’s heart is like a reed and public opinion changes when he wakes up… people can be very unkind. How…”
“Is that because you hate Cheon Woo-maeng? It’s because I’m anxious. “I’m anxious.”
“What are you anxious about? What?”
“Actually… it is true that Chun Yu-meng was the only one who responded to the devastation in Hangzhou and ran… but that doesn’t mean he saved the people of Hangzhou, right?”
Hong Dae-gwang’s face hardened when he heard those words. .
“So what? What’s wrong with that?”
“I’m not saying it was wrong… but what would the people who saw that think? “I wonder if they didn’t think that if Maqiao decided to attack them, they would end up like the people of Hangzhou.”
Hong Dae-kwang could not bear to refute these words. He tasted bitter.
Although everyone made a fuss about it, the disaster in Hangzhou had a great shock to the world. It was shocking that the Demonic Cult, which was thought to have been eradicated, was still alive and well, but what was most shocking was the cruelty at their hands.
The whole world clearly knows what the world will be like if that demonic religion cannot be stopped.
“Don’t you want the political faction to become stronger because you are anxious and scared? “So that even if those evil spirits or demonic religions attack, we can sufficiently block them.”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to defeat even one of them even if I’m split in two!”
“Oh my gosh, Buntaju, why are you so out of your wits when something related to volcanoes comes up? Because blocking isn’t important. “If I end up being defeated and then block the demonic cult, what’s the point?”
“……”
“Thanks to Sapaelian and Hangzhou Mahua, people also found out. If the political faction is weak, I could be sacrificed. No, I should say that I have finally realized it properly.”
Hong Dae-gwang, who heard those words, openly protested.
“Hey you bastard! Then we should support Cheon Woo-maeng even more! When have the old school bastards ever risked their lives to help the civilians? You just watched from behind and kept quiet! “Who caused the situation where people in Gangnam are suffering because of the Sapa bastards!” “
No, that’s true, but…”
Dong-gwak said awkwardly.
“Actually, what… is there a justification?” “Isn’t that the other side? It’s better to unite than to be at odds with each other. Because in people’s eyes, that’s right in principle.”
“What man?”
Hong Dae-gwang burst out with fire in his eyes.
“You bastard! That’s all bad. In principle! In the big picture! If you talk like that, you’re ruining everything! In principle, everyone is going to die anyway, so what’s the point?” “I keep shoving sour food into my mouth so that I can live as long as I can!”
“……”
“You have to look at the bigger picture. If you look at the big picture, can everything be solved? Those people who pretend to know like that are ruining everything!” ”
…Don’t get angry at me, just go and tell people. Why are you doing this to me?”
“Fuck you.”
Hong Dae-gwang, who let out a double sound again, lay down on his back. My face was flushed with helpless anger.
“The ark is too old. Are we in a situation where the government is now listening to Shaolin and spreading rumors? “I should have left the old faction and joined the Cheonwoo Meng.”
“How easy is that? “It is true that the Nangong and Tang families have all left the Odaesegaya, but in the nine factions, no one has really broken away yet, right?”
“……”
“For the first time, when a faction breaks away from the nine factions and joins the Cheonwoo Alliance, Shaolin will try to suppress it in any way possible. How can they handle that? Especially our open system cannot handle that. Other clans have their own territory, but aren’t we beggars making a living all over the world? “If we were kicked out of Hanam right now, thousands of people would starve to death.”
“Who doesn’t know that!”
Hong Dae-gwang shouted loudly.
“Hey you bastard. If you live with your mouth shut because you’re afraid of starving, is that openness? You really are a beggar, right? How is that any different from the logic of Sapa bastards who plunder to make a living?” ”
No…”
“Some people run to Gangnam, which is full of Sapa bastards, saying they will save the people even if they make money and gain fame without being envious of the world. “Some people say they are scared of starving, so they turn to old raccoons and spread rumors.”
Hong Dae-gwang’s voice gradually quieted down.
“I didn’t come into the open market for this…” “
Well, you’re talking as if you came in because there was some great meaning behind it. You said you just came in because you were a beggar.”
“Err!”
Hong Dae-kwang sharply threw the club he was holding.
“Ah!”
Dong-gwak, who had been hit on the head with a stick, fell backwards and screamed,
“This bastard is asking me to see him, so he salted me on purpose! Do you really want to search today?”
“Oh my!”
Dong-gwak quickly rushed towards the entrance and shouted,
“Anyway, don’t do anything useless. The elders left the country not long ago and the atmosphere is bad, so if you do anything in vain here, you will be made an example of! If you don’t like the current opening, you will stubbornly hold on and the Ark will be destroyed. “Isn’t it okay to change it?”
“Isn’t it going out?”
“Never! Never! Absolutely!”
After leaving those words, Dong-gwak ran outside as if running away. Hong Dae-gwang, who was staring at the entrance he left as if he were going to kill him, sighed and sat down.
“…It would be freezing to death to change into an ark.”
If that was the intention above, it would have already changed long ago.
I knew it when I saw the volcano. If you want to change, you shouldn’t wait. If you wait patiently with the thought of ‘someday’ in mind, you will eventually become a person who conforms to the rules of the past.
“What would you do? Hwasan Swordsman Association.” Cheongmyeong
’s face came to mind again. He was the one who proved that he was not wrong when everyone said he was reckless and stupid.
“I feel bad.”
Hong Dae-gwang opened the box with the burnt stains on it and took out a cheap bottle of wine. It seemed that today he would have to drink until he was drunk to fall asleep.
