Episode 1371 You have to make it like that. (1)
“Keuung.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Ok.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Oooooh.”
“Oh my goodness!”
Finally, Baekcheon ran out of patience and turned his head and shouted at Lim So-byeong.
“If you have anything to say, say it!”
“Can I really do this?”
“⋯⋯No, don’t do it.”
“I said that because I was upset!”
“I told you not to….”
Baek-cheon tried again to dissuade him without meaning, but Lim So-byeong just ignored him and continued talking.
“Can I contact you right now? “Let’s just send those who go to town back!”
“No…”
“Don’t you have any speed in writing long sentences? Even after being kicked out like that, do you still want to take those people to Gangbuk?”
“⋯⋯.”
“grain? grain? In other words, when they go to Gangbuk, will they carry that grain on their backs? “We have to leave all of that behind anyway, so why bother taking people to Gangbuk just because they’re pretty when they can’t even give us that?”
“⋯⋯.”
“I told you to just say it! “Because you can immediately reverse the things that are going to your brother’s house!”
Baekcheon, who had been silent the entire time, sighed deeply.
“⋯⋯Still, it is the duty of man⋯⋯.”
“Toriiiii?”
In the end, Lim So-byeong, upset, even rolled his eyes. Baekcheon suddenly thought that the Green Forest King looked a lot like Cheongmyeong. Even if they resemble each other, I also think that they only resemble one thing.
“Dori? duty! Well said! Did we break that damn duty? “Aren’t they the ones who abandoned their duties as human beings, not us?”
Baekcheon had nothing to say about this. I still felt the need to save him, but I couldn’t defeat the Green Forest King with logic.
Moreover, aren’t the Taoists a people who cover up the things they can’t do with logic by saying they have great intentions and good intentions?
“stamp!”
“Hmm.”
“Dojaaaaang!”
No matter how much he urged, Baekcheon remained steadfast, so Lim So-byeong’s eyes lit up.
“No, live, live, live, what kind of brats you are…”
Pow!
“Aaaah!”
Lim So-byeong, who was running, fell forward as if he had been shot. Then Namgung Do-wi, who was running behind him, casually picked him up and took care of him.
“That’s really dirty.”
Cheongmyeong, who had kicked Lim So-byeong, shook off his awkward hand.
“Off.”
Lim So-byeong held the back of his head and groaned for a while before rolling his eyes.
“Why are you hitting me! “What did I do wrong…”
Ppook!
“Aaaahhh!”
“Is this Sapa bastard crazy? Where do you open your eyes like that? “I’m going to stab you!”
“⋯⋯Cheongmyeong. “You should say that before you stab me.”
“ah. That’s right.”
Baekcheon let out a long sigh. That’s not true, man…
Cheongmyeong scolded Lim So-byeong, who was clutching his eyes and groaning.
“Anyway, I guess he’s a bandit!”
“Is this because I am a bandit?”
Lim So-byeong looked around with physiological tears in his eyes. The pierced eye was bloodshot.
“Actually, doesn’t everyone think that way! Why do we save those who have no grace? Then, try to meet again in Gangbuk. Are we going to do anything more than just awkwardly laugh at each other? “Do you really have to see that?”
“Noisy!”
Cheongmyeong hit Lim So-byeong on the back of the head again with a loud sound.
“You are a bandit because you do whatever you feel like!”
“⋯⋯.”
“what?”
“Well… it’s not wrong, but at least it’s not what the seal would say, right?”
“What man?”
The surroundings were full of people nodding their heads in agreement.
“Right.”
“That is definitely true.”
“There are times when a bandit says something more correct than a Taoist.”
“But what about these bastards?”
When Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes, everyone was shocked and hurriedly turned their heads and looked the other way. And I just grumbled inside.
‘That’s because I came back alive after resting for a few days…’
‘I felt sorry for him when he got injured, but it was comfortable.’
‘He’s the nicest when he’s sleeping.’
Lim So-byeong asked, pressing the corner of his puffy eyes with the end of his fan.
“So you’re saying the seal doesn’t explode?”
“inside?”
“yes! “Is it really okay?”
“…Tell me what’s really inside me?”
“⋯⋯Yes? “Oh yes.”
“In terms of nature, they are commoners and nabals, and they can shake off their shells…”
“Ehey! Cheongmyeong!”
“Mouth mouth! Uh huh! That mouth!”
“Shut that bastard’s mouth!”
As sounds that a Taoist master should not make continued to flow from his mouth, Baekcheon and Yunjong desperately rushed in to block them.
Nevertheless, Hyeyeon, who had no choice but to hear the muffled sound due to the wind standing nearby, instantly turned pale and continued to chant her displeasure. A basket had crawled into my head, so I had to do something to get it out.
“Tell me more? “I could say much more.”
“⋯⋯The Taoist master is so hot⋯⋯.”
Even bandits wouldn’t do that… Lim So-byeong shook his head with a tired look.
Cheongmyeong snorted and said.
“But what can I do? Anyway, there are people among them who helped us.”
“There was a way to save just that person, right?”
“This bandit… Did you climb up from hell, not the mountain? If I told him to leave the village people he lived with and go to Gangbuk alone, would he go?”
Lim So-byeong kept his mouth shut. It was because he knew that Cheongmyeong’s words were not wrong.
The person who presented the sack of grain to Cheon Woo-maeng showed the bare minimum of sincerity. If so, that person definitely deserves to be saved. And if you have to save others for that person… isn’t that inevitable?
“And… I don’t know about other people, but you shouldn’t say things like that! If you think about it that way, I would have been the first to cut off the head of you, the bandit.”
Lim So-byeong, whose fur was red, smiled awkwardly and unconsciously massaged his pale neck.
“Hehehe… “Didn’t I change my mind?”
Cheongmyeong looked at him with pitiful eyes.
“I know yeah.”
“yes?”
“Even a bandit who goes around killing people will reform and become a decent human being if you beat him up, so why should we just leave them alone for what they did so wrong?”
“⋯⋯No, it’s not my fault⋯⋯.”
“Everyone makes mistakes.”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze briefly turned to the distant sky. Then he muttered to himself.
“okay. Everyone makes mistakes. “Sometimes it’s a mistake that’s even difficult to forgive.”
Lim So-byeong said nothing. I felt like I shouldn’t say something.
“But people can change because there is someone who understands.”
It was a time when several people were nodding their heads in sympathy.
“Right, Dongryong?”
“I knew you could say that, you bastard!”
Baekcheon got angry and swung his fist. Cheongmyeong slyly avoided it and laughed.
“Well, are you talking about a private residence? The same goes for Namgung.”
“Please bury the past. In fact, how many people here are proud to discuss the past?”
“Hmm.”
“Ehehehem!”
Several people cleared their throats as if they were being stabbed.
Even if it was Hwasan, Dangpae was the one who stabbed Cheongmyeong in the stomach with a knife, and Namgung Dowi was the one who bluffed in front of him and got hit on the crotch and foamed at his mouth. And aren’t the words Hyeyeon said to Cheongmyeong in the finals of the martial arts competition still often talked about?
So, I had no choice but to clear my throat and remain silent after hearing those words from Namgung Dowi.
“That’s why I don’t really believe that sprouts are yellow. Of course, I was a fool from the beginning!”
“⋯⋯I’m being damned.”
“Because your buds were not yellow, but black and dead…”
Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders.
“Even if you end up resenting it, you can just save it and then resent it.”
“⋯⋯.”
“If Taesang Jang Moon were here, he would definitely have said that.”
The volcano disciples nodded at those words. Hyeonjong would definitely have done that. When there is delusion in your mind, just think about what King Hyeonjong would have done. That path can never be wrong for the disciples of Hwasan.
Lim So-byeong, who had been listening quietly, spoke dissatisfied.
“No… “It’s nice to say something, but it’s our kids who are taking risks because of it, right?”
“What do I know whether a few bandits get away or not? “Isn’t it too much to handle anyway?”
“⋯⋯Are you really a person?”
“Anyway, let bygones be enough here.”
Cheongmyeong cut off Lim So-byeong, who was continuing to babble.
“I don’t have time to worry about that anymore. “They will come after you soon.”
Baekcheon nodded in response and said.
“It’s quicker to get to Nanjing than you think. “Now when we descend, the speed will increase and it will take one to two days at most.”
For an instant, tension appeared on everyone’s faces.
Going down the mountain and arriving in Nanjing in two days is news that no one can help but be nervous about.
This means that now you have to jump over bigger mountains and face bigger risks.
“First of all, I thought Nanjing would be the least dangerous, so I decided to go there, but in fact…”
“It’s an unknown.”
“yes.”
Baekcheon calmly agreed to Lim So-byeong’s words. The word unknown is accurate. Now Gangnam is being shaken thanks to their movements. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the Nanjing they will soon arrive at will be the Nanjing they knew.
“Be determined. “We will definitely cross the Yangtze River.”
“yes!”
Everyone responded loudly to Baekcheon’s words. That was both an answer and a promise I made to myself.
How long did it run like that? Lim So-byeong approached Cheongmyeong, who was slightly distant from those running in front, matching his speed. Unlike when he complained a moment ago, his expression was serious and all smiles had disappeared.
“stamp.”
“say.”
“⋯⋯The chase is slower than expected. And… you can’t even see those blocking the way. “You probably know what this means, right?”
Cheongmyeong nodded silently.
The fact that minor attacks do not occur during war means only one situation. The enemy is preparing a powerful blow that will completely destroy this side.
“By now… “Yes, he would have realized where we were heading.”
“It’s not like I thought you wouldn’t know anyway.”
“Yes, that’s true. But…”
The reason Cheon Woo-maeng and Haenam’s party headed to Nanjing was not to deceive the enemy. Time, distance, and even the location of each force. Considering all that, Nanjing is the battlefield with the highest chance of victory for them.
“Will he move?”
“It doesn’t matter whether it moves or not.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“The important thing is that even if he doesn’t move directly, someone will move to Nanjing. “That’s enough.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes darkened.
‘Then the court has no choice but to follow suit.’
The court absolutely hates taking on unexpected damage. This has been confirmed abundantly just by what he has shown so far.
In that case, the court has no choice but to follow suit and move to Nanjing. Because I would like to keep the whole situation under my control. Because you want to somehow block the variables that Cheongmyeong and Jang Il-so may have.
I didn’t even know that this was Cheongmyeong’s target.
“Who said that?”
“yes?”
“The world eventually returns to its natural state.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But my thoughts are a little different.”
The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth rose. It was a somewhat cool laugh.
Originally, Gupailbang had to save Haenam. So, in fact, the hardships the group is going through right now should have been the responsibility of the old group.
“If things don’t go as they should, we have to force them to do so so that no one feels wronged.”
The dreary gaze turned towards the far north.
To Nanjing, a land of chaos where all the powers of the world are gathering.
