Episode 1215 This is absolutely true. (5)
Everyone looked at Lim So-byeong with a new look.
We often forget because of the way he usually shows, but this man is one of the five members of the Shinju clan and the king of the green forest that rules all the mountains in the central plains.
How could a mountain path guided by such a person be dangerous?
“But hasn’t Greenlim already withdrawn from Gangnam?”
In response to the party leader’s question, Lim So-byeong smiled leisurely and waved his fan.
“Does that matter at all?”
“yes?”
“Even though people have withdrawn, that doesn’t mean the mountains have disappeared. And no one in the world knows the mountains as well as Nokrim.”
Lim So-byeong squeezed his open hand.
“There is probably no one who knows the mountains in Gangnam as intimately as I do. No matter how much Sapaeryeon flies or crawls, it is no match for me in the mountains.”
“…… indeed.”
If Lim So-byeong’s resourcefulness and King Green’s knowledge are combined, it is not an impossible story. At the moment when everyone was about to admire, a grumpy voice was heard from a corner.
“So…”
It was Cheongmyeong. His face said, ‘Why are you talking about something like that?’ A questioning expression appeared on his face.
“The words may be grandiose, but in the end, they are bandits, so they have a hard time running away and hiding whenever government forces appear. That’s why, like rats, they know how to go without being detected.”
“The topography of the mountain and the byways are clearly visible…”
“So that’s what it means.”
“The green forest that dominates all the mountains in the central plain…”
“Dominion is frozen.”
Cheongmyeong snorted as if it was absurd.
“It’s not about controlling all the mountains in the central plains, it’s about snooping on the mountains that others don’t use. If you control all the mountains in the central plains like that, why don’t you set up a mountain vegetable garden in Seongsan Mountain as well? How happy would the Shaolin bastards be that they had neighbors while they were lonely?
”
“……”
Eventually, those who had been exclaiming in admiration just a moment ago looked at each other and started whispering.
“Now that I think about it, it’s a bit of an exaggeration.”
“It doesn’t seem like a bit of a problem, right? There are no wild vegetables on Mt. Wudang or Mt. Hwasan. There aren’t any on Mt. Jongnam…” “
Now that I think about it, there are definitely no wild vegetables on famous mountains.”
“Every famous mountain is occupied by a prominent sect. How can a bandit enter there?”
“Then it’s a bit funny. I can’t even set foot on a famous mountain like Oak, and I only live on the mountains that no one else goes to, but to say that I dominate all the mountains in the central plains…” Namgung Do-wi made a strange smile when he made eye contact with Lim So-byeong
. . Lim So-byeong’s hands were shaking.
“Keuhum! Of course, it’s not all the mountains, but I’m holding on tight to the mountains in Gangnam.”
“Hold on tight?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled.
“The guy was hiding in the name of someone else for fear of being discovered. Have you ever been there in person?”
“……”
“I don’t know why the Sapa bastards are so anxious that they can’t show off their bravado every time they open their mouths. If they had been a little less braggadocious, the average lifespan of Sapa would have increased by ten years. Tsk tsk tsk.”
Baekcheon slightly tilted his head and asked.
“Then isn’t that a good thing?”
“huh?”
“Because Sapa will die quickly.”
“uh…… ?”
After hearing this, Cheongmyeong looked at Lim So-byeong again as if it made sense. Lim So-byeong’s face suddenly distorted.
“You are still a political faction! You are such vicious bastards that even the political faction would not use it!”
“what.”
As expected, Cheongmyeong, who clearly ignored it, kept an eye on the map that Lim So-byeong had laid out.
“Anyway, in conclusion, it boils down to this.”
“…… yes.”
“You mean that crossing Gangnam is much more dangerous than other routes, but you can get there incredibly quickly?”
“… That’s right.”
“Dangerous and fast road?”
“……”
“Yes, yes. It’s dangerous and fast.”
Cheongmyeong, who was repeating this to himself, began to grin. At the same time, deep anxiety fell on everyone’s faces. In the end, the person they were desperately looking for was Baekcheon, who became Hwasan’s assistant manager.
‘Try to do something.’
‘He’s your child!’
‘If you become an assistant manager, you have to do something!’
Baekcheon, who could not overcome the silent pressure, smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth to Cheongmyeong.
“Cheongmyeong, I… I can roughly guess what you’re thinking, but… uh… There’s no need to choose a dangerous path, right?”
“Hey, Sasuk. I’m not a bodyless bastard.”
“Yes?”
“Do we really have to go that far?”
“Isn’t that right?”
Baekcheon’s face lit up. Still, I couldn’t help but sigh with relief at the thought that this guy had shown some sense.
But at that moment, he saw Cheongmyeong’s grinning face in his eyes. It was bright enough to be ominous.
“Okay. It’s right to turn around and go.”
“…… Right? My thoughts too…”
“It doesn’t matter to me. What can you complain about if you travel comfortably? Of course, going round and round by sea or by land is just a hardship at best. “I arrived at Haenam, and
all I could see was Haenam with the roots of the pillars uprooted, but what’s the big deal?”
“……”
“You can go slowly, then. Judging from Jang Il-so’s personality, once he becomes stable, he will try to peel off the Haenam cubs first. Especially when he hears that we split up with Shaolin, he thinks it’s right. “They’re going to try to burn it all down, right?
But that has nothing to do with us, right? I’m protecting the sect with my own hands.”
Cold sweat ran down Baekcheon’s spine.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. The sect can still survive. The volcano once burned brightly and revived again, so why can’t you say it’s Haenam? Don’t worry, don’t worry. Haenam is on the sea, so the shrine isn’t dried up like a volcano, so the pillar roots will still remain
. .”
Now cold sweat began to break out on the foreheads of others as well.
“It’s nothing special. It’s just a matter of being destroyed for about a hundred years and then rebuilding. If there are ten or so members left, the atmosphere will be family-like and that’s great.”
“……”
“Of course, Sa-sook, who became Jang-moon’s assistant manager by threatening Jang-moon, and Taesang Jang-moon-in, who stepped down from his position as Jang-moon after hearing that they were talking about the future, will be criticized for doing the most pathetic thing in the world. .
And in the meantime, we may have to hear that Cheonwoo-maengdo is a group of idiots, but there’s no need to take risks just because we don’t want to hear that, right?”
“Stop that…”
“It’s okay, Sasuk. It’s not that big of a deal. Huh? Negotiation? Hey, that’s just something you say out loud in front of other people! That’s the way it is in the world, isn’t it? We only discuss in front of other people. You’re talking about how you can risk your life for the sake of others.
Who watches over something like that when no one is watching? Even if you just pretend, ‘Ah, those bastards were trying to do something!’ “I can hear the sound, but…”
“Let’s go by land!”
“Fuck you across the Yangtze River!”
“Going in a straight line to Haenam! In a straight line!”
“Everyone shut up! Just take the quickest route!”
Those who were frightened began to beat Baekcheon.
“Dari Jangmun! Let’s go to the mountain path!”
“I am Lord Soga of Namgung. Please calm down first…”
“Are you sure you are going to calm down now? If you don’t save Haenam in time, Namgung’s reputation will suffer greatly. Who will handle that? Who? Are you a long-time assistant manager?”
“……”
“No, if you think about it, wasn’t that why they asked you to hire someone with strong martial arts in the first place? Even if someone dies from a scam while going to Gangnam, it’s not Manager Jang Moon’s fault. He applied for this job even though he couldn’t escape. “It’s one person’s fault, so let’s just move on!”
“No… When did it become so extreme…”
“It’s not extreme, it’s reasonable!”
Since when? Since when did that become reasonable?
“Hmm. The words may be harsh, but there’s actually nothing wrong with what you say.”
Lim So-byeong quietly picked up Baekcheon.
“Common sense suggests that it is best to take a safe route, but if you look at it that way, going to Haenam itself is not very common sense.”
“That’s right.”
“It’s crazy.”
“But the one who suggested doing it was a long-winded agent, right?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Baekcheon. Baekcheon, a little embarrassed, flinched and took a step back.
“But now why are you nitpicking about this and that?”
“You know people like that? They have grandiose plans, but when it comes time to execute them, they pull their butts off.”
Baekcheon’s tightly clenched fists were shaking.
Of course, the reason he is upset is not because of the owners who are secretly provoking him. Hiding behind their backs, half showing his face, he said, ‘I was scared.’ It’s because of Cheongmyeong and Jo Geol who keep talking.
“Sasuk.”
At that time, Yoonjong, who had been silently lost in thought, opened his mouth.
“I understand that you are hesitant. But if you think about it, this is not something to worry about. No matter how good a decision we make, if the work is over by the time we get to Haenam, wouldn’t it all be in vain?”
“…… yes.”
“The reason we chose to go to Haenam was not because of the strength of the Cheonwoo Meng or because of the positions of each faction. Wasn’t it just because we agreed that we couldn’t leave Haenam, which is isolated and waiting for the day to collapse?”
Baekcheon nodded at those words.
“I think you have already come to a conclusion. But I also understand why you are worried until the end. So, let me speak from the perspective of a student.”
“……”
“Remember what Sa-suk said. An agreement that does not take risks is not an agreement. To put it conversely, those who want to carry out an agreement must take it for granted that they take risks.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Hyeyeon nodded and helped.
“Dojang Yoonjong’s words are correct, Assistant Manager Jangmun.”
“……”
“Decision.”
Everyone stared at Baekcheon.
In fact, Baekcheon is not the highest-ranking person here. Although Baekcheon is considered the head of the volcano, here are the heads of the Green Forest, the heads of the Namgung family, and the heads of the North Sea Ice Palace.
In terms of position, Baekcheon can’t help but fall behind them.
However, there was no hesitation in the gaze looking at Baekcheon. Everyone implicitly acknowledges that Baekcheon is the decision-maker for this group.
And Baekcheon, who accepted that responsibility without hesitation, nodded.
“Let’s go to Haenam.”
“……”
“By the quickest route.”
Those words brought a smile to everyone’s lips. The moment when Baekcheon tried to smile at them.
“Are you really getting that?”
“I don’t think I’m crazy.”
“A man like that will become Hwasan’s scholar. The future of Hwasan is also obvious.”
No, these bastards? Are you guys going that way?
“Well… there’s nothing I can do. If I have to criticize it, I have to criticize it, right?”
“If anyone dies, it’s all the company’s fault.”
“Ah. I met Sasuk by mistake, so what’s going on?”
Ohgeom also clicked his tongue and turned around. Baekcheon was astonished and opened his mouth. But before he could find anything to say, Cheongmyeong opened his mouth and settled the situation.
“Anyway, then it has been decided. Green Forest King.”
“yeah.”
“Lead the way clearly.”
Cheongmyeong cast a cold and cold gaze that seemed to pierce the person for an instant. Lim So-byeong wiped his smile and nodded firmly.
“I will do my best.”
“Okay. Then let’s go.”
Everyone’s eyes shifted towards the wide Yangtze River and the land beyond. From now on, they will be heading there.
“Then where do I arrange for a boat?”
“Ship? What ship?”
“… You need a boat to cross the Yangtze River, right?”
“What are you talking about when you’re full? Why? Is there a rumor in the neighborhood that we’re heading to Gangnam on a boat?”
“…… then?”
Cheongmyeong waved the river away with a careless gesture of his chin.
“Dive in.”
“……”
“Be quiet and make as little noise as possible. Be gentle. Don’t let anyone see you.”
“……”
“Departure.”
The shoulders of the group members who were looking at the yellow Yangtze River slumped at the same time.
In essence, the road to cooperation is long and arduous.
