Episode 1437 Yeah, remember that. (2)
“You lived…?”
Dang Sang-su, the leader of the Tang family who was somehow leading his followers, looked blankly at the retreating Man-in-bang and muttered.
It was hard to believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.
Although Jongnam’s advance party arrived and the Hwasan Sword Association appeared, the number of Maninbando that invaded this place was overwhelmingly large. If Jang Il-so had wanted to, it would have been possible to annihilate everyone here.
But surprisingly, Jang Il-so retreated too easily. It’s so neat that you wonder if there was any need to run after Sacheondanga if it was going to be like this.
lived Yes, they live now.
‘why?’
It was a very different development than expected. Even though it was a situation that should have been fortunate, questions came to me before relief. However, as the situation unfolded one after another, Dang Sang-soo’s doubts had no choice but to be answered.
“Commander Cho! excuse me! “There it is!”
He raised his head at someone’s shout.
“Ah…”
Soon his eyes opened wide. A group of people could be seen running, raising a huge cloud of dust on the dry land. The moment he saw the familiar figure in the lead, a tearful shout came out of Dang Sang-soo’s mouth.
“Let’s go!”
Poison King Tanggunak. He was running, leading the elites who had left the party for a while. Even with the swordsmen of that volcano.
“They come over there too.”
Tang Sang-soo’s gaze turned north this time. There too, a group of warriors were approaching. Jongnam’s advance team saw this and reacted. They were definitely Jongnam’s swordsmen.
“I guess it’s Jongnam! Jongnam!”
Strangely enough, Hwasan, Dangga, and Jongnam arrived at a similar time, as if they had worked together.
“Ah…”
Only then did Tang Sang-su understand why Jang Il-so had retreated without any regrets. Even if he had led the entire army, he would not have been able to handle the three factions of Hwasan and Jongnam Tang at the same time.
dump.
Only then did Dang Sang-su’s legs lose all strength. In any case, I was free from the clutches of that terrible Maninbang.
“Commissioner!”
“Go, matriarch!” “It’s here!”
At the shout of Tanggunak, Tang Sangsu hurriedly stood up again and shouted. Tanggunak, who discovered him, rushed in front of him at once, as if running on the ground.
Coo!
Tang Gunak’s eyes slightly distorted as he stopped.
“Go, matriarch.”
He saw numerous corpses around him. From the elders who sacrificed themselves to stop Man-in-bang and the artisans who died in a violent death under Man-in-bang’s magic.
Moreover, even those who were lucky enough to survive were not completely out of sight. The children were crying so loudly that they could barely breathe, and the women, who had collapsed from exhaustion, were doing their best to soothe them, even though they had no strength left to even lift a finger.
It’s miserable and miserable.
Although annihilation was avoided, it is not a situation where the damage can be said to be minimal. Who would have imagined that the Tang family of the world would face something like this?
“I’m sorry, matriarch.”
Tears welled up from Dang Sang-soo’s eyes. If he had been a little wiser, if his decision had been a little quicker, these people might not have died. What on earth can he say when he faces the head of the family alive in front of the bodies of those people?
“I was too lazy to stop Gasol from dying! I am! Because of my ignorance, I was unable to prevent the party family from burning down and the workshop and Dokgo from collapsing. “My decision was delayed and I lost everything…!”
Dang Sangsu burst into tears and shouted, his whole body shaking.
“Please kill me! The head of the family. “Me…”
Wow.
At that moment, Tang Gunak grabbed Tang Sangsu’s shoulder tightly. As if to calm my trembling body.
“Don’t say that.”
“⋯⋯Matriarch.”
“Didn’t people live instead? That’s enough. “Memorizing Dokdo is less important than people.”
“⋯⋯.”
“You worked hard.”
Tang Sangsu sobbed at Tanggunak’s words and collapsed on the spot. Tang Gunak looked down at his back and bit his lip.
“Check and heal the injured and exhausted! right now!”
“Yes matriarch!”
The warriors of the Tang family, who were gritting their teeth with angry faces, answered in unison and dispersed.
“Crane!”
“mother! “Where are you, mother?”
“If you are injured, please come here! No, I’m going. Just raise your hands!”
Tanggunak, who was looking at his subordinates who had erased their martial faces and returned to being someone’s father and someone’s child, turned his head. My eyes caught the back of the lone person in front of me.
Cheongmyeong sat down as if he no longer had the strength to even lift a finger. Tang Gunak sighed deeply and approached him.
“What about Jang Il-so?”
“went.”
Cheongmyeong opened his mouth without even looking at me.
“He smiled smugly and pulled out his butt without any regrets.”
Tang Gunak’s thick eyebrows twitched slightly. This is because I could imagine the expression Jang Il-so must have made. However, Tanggunak soon erased his emotions and spoke briefly.
“You worked hard.”
“⋯⋯What is it?”
Cheongmyeong turned his head and looked at Tanggunak. Surprisingly, a chill filled his eyes, and Tang Gunak’s complexion hardened.
“Everyone who is about to die is already dead, so why did you suffer so much? “If they had arrived a little earlier, they wouldn’t have died.”
“… Those who would have died if they had not come, are alive.”
“If only I were a little stronger.”
“⋯⋯.”
“If the volcano had been a little stronger, they wouldn’t have died. “If only I had judged a little wiser and been a little more cool-headed.”
Tanggunak quietly closed his eyes without realizing it.
The saddest and most heartbreaking thing in the face of Gasol’s death is the party music. However, it seemed that it was Cheongmyeong who felt greater responsibility for this situation. Tanggunak opened his eyes and opened his mouth.
“You…”
At that moment, a tearing shout was heard from somewhere.
“Go, matriarch!” Here is an elder outside the party!”
Tanggunak’s head turned. The person who shouted was a party member who was checking to see if any of the elders were alive.
Tanggunak kicked the ground with all his might. He rushed there at once and picked up the party flag as if taking it away.
“What’s the status?”
There was no answer back. Tang Gunak bit his lip slightly. No, there was no need to answer in the first place. Because he also felt it from the moment he touched Tang Wei’s body.
“Elder…”
Tanggunak looked down at the outside of Tang. A person whose Danjeon was destroyed was poisoned and even had both arms cut off. This cannot be saved even if Daera Shinseon comes.
Tang Wei’s unfocused eyes wavered slightly. He flinched as if he recognized Tanggunak and faintly touched his lips. Tang Gunak, who understood the meaning of the movement, bit his lip once again.
“yes.”
Tanggunak took out a needle from within his arms and stuck it into Tangoe’s body. This will bring back strength for a short while, but Tang-oe will die sooner than expected. Just as a candle burns stronger just before it goes out.
“Let’s go…”
“yes. “Please speak, Wonju.”
Tanggunak did not like people outside the party. No, there was a time when I hated it. But at this moment, what use are all those old feelings? It literally disappeared like snow melting. How can one harbor the same hatred towards an old man who ended up like this in order to protect Gasol?
“⋯⋯I’m sorry.”
These were the first words Dang Oe spoke as his face regained vitality. Tang Gunak’s face hardened at the unexpected words.
“Wonju…”
“I… I was so foolish…”
Tang Gunak’s hands, holding on to Tang Wei’s thin body, were shaking slightly. A look of pitiful regret was written on the face of the outside party.
“I am so foolish… I am leaving such a big… burden to the matriarch.”
“Don’t say that! Wonju, I am…”
Tears welled up in the eyes of both parties.
“Let’s go.”
Tanggunak gave strength to the hand holding Tangoe.
“I’m listening.”
“The party… the party has lost so much… Now it will be as difficult as before. It can’t be like it used to be. So, let’s go…”
“yes.”
“Ignore the law… and do as the head of the family wishes. “It’s not for the sake of the family.”
“Wonju…”
“In the end… it will be like this…”
Tang Oe, who was looking at Tang Gunak’s face, struggled to look away. I could see Gasol looking this way with concern. Likewise, even though he must have been extremely tired, there are people who worry about him.
‘The party is here.’
The true Tang family was not inside the palace surrounded by the fence.
Suddenly, I saw a man walking towards Tanggunak. I can’t say I’m familiar with it, but I’m a man I can never forget.
‘Volcanic Swordsmen Association…’
It must be hateful. But it wasn’t hateful.
Once again, I am happy now. The author protects Tanggunak by his side. What he said still remains clearly in my memory.
The person the party needs most right now is someone like that.
“Head of the house…. Those… Please take care of them…”
“Wow, Wonju!”
The heads of those outside the party slowly lowered. As a result, my whole body became limp. Now all that remains is for it to cool down quickly.
Tanggunak looked down at the party and closed his eyes. The strong shoulders trembled slightly.
However, Tanggunak, who had carefully placed Tangoe on the ground for a moment, straightened up. He is the head of the Tang family. There is no right to be sad or time to suffer.
“…Recover the bodies of the elders.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
The party leader faintly cried and nodded.
He is not just a simple elder.
The party family is connected by blood. Those who died here are someone’s father and someone’s grandfather. He was also someone’s irreplaceable brother and someone’s landlord.
“Matriarch…”
King Hyeonjong approached Tanggunak and spoke cautiously, as if he did not know how to comfort him. Tang Gunak just silently shook his head.
“It’s not something to be sad about, Master.”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s something to be happy about again. Because I was able to meet again people I thought I would never see again. It’s all thanks to Lord Maeng. “As the head of the Sicheondang family, I thank you.”
“Don’t say that. “I’m just sorry.”
Tanggunak bowed deeply towards King Hyeonjong and slowly turned around.
My gaze fell on those who had arrived a while ago but had not yet spoken to me.
“More than that, I should first thank the other side as well.”
Hyeonjong, who moved his gaze along the Tanggunak, nodded heavily.
Jongnam.
If they hadn’t arrived before Cheon Woo-maeng, those who survived would not have reached even half of what they are now.
Tanggunak approached the place where Jongnam’s swordsmen were lined up. Then, a man in the center stepped forward as if to greet Tang military music.
Jongligok, the sword under heaven.
He was Jongnam’s long-time scholar and had a bad relationship with Hwaseong.
“Danggunak of Sacheondangga meets Jang Mun-in.”
“Jongnam’s Jongrigok meets the head of the Great Heavenly Dang Family.”
The two men hugged each other deeply. At the same time, a subtle tension began to spread in all directions.
