Episode 1448. I can’t do it alone. (3)
Tanggunak, who was facing King Hyeonjong, bowed his head deeply.
“On behalf of Sichuan Danga, I would like to thank you for waiting patiently despite the difficult circumstances.”
Hyeonjong, who received the courtesy, shook his head.
“Of course you should. of course.”
I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel anxious. Because Sacheon is no longer a land where they can relax.
But Hyeonjong waited silently.
Others may not have understood, but King Hyeonjong knew. How important is what is happening in the party right now? I knew this because I was a Hwasan scholar who had experienced the same thing over and over again.
“Matriarch. So, have you sorted things out a bit?”
At that question, Tanggunak looked at Hyeonjong with eyes as deep as a lake. At that moment, Hyeonjong gently grabbed my hand without realizing it.
It is not difficult to see that Muin is growing in skill. However, the inner growth of a person is usually difficult to notice.
But now Hyeonjong knew. Now he is seeing that extremely rare sight with his own eyes. Only half a day had passed, but Tanggunak, the leader of the Sichuan Tang family, had clearly achieved something.
Tanggunak glanced back.
“I wanted to do that, but…”
Gasol could be seen looking at him with steadfast eyes.
“It’s just one step forward. “I don’t think it will be that easy to get rid of everything that has accumulated.”
“I guess so. “It will happen.”
Hyeonjong nodded as if he understood.
The volcano had nothing. Therefore, there was nothing to protect. It was definitely a sad thing, but on the contrary, it definitely helped the volcano shake off its past and move forward anew.
But it is not a party. Even if they lost Dokgo and Gongbang, they are still Sacheondangga. Like a strong castle, destroying the family order that surrounds them and rebuilding it is not as easy as it sounds.
Nevertheless, Tanggunak looked at Hyeonjong with a confident face and nodded.
“But I started it, and that was it.”
A small exclamation escaped from Hyeonjong’s mouth. At that time, a voice suddenly cut in.
“Then can I go now?”
Tanggunak and King Hyeonjong’s gaze turned towards that direction. Cheongmyeong gestured toward the sky with a pouty face.
“It seems like night is coming again… “Can we go camping again?”
“You can’t do that.”
Tanggunak smiled slightly and shook his head.
“Causing trouble is not the party’s way.”
“I think you’ve done enough damage already.”
“Shut your mouth!”
“Anyway, this damn club!”
“What Mr.! “Did I say something wrong?”
Cheongmyeong continued to scream even as he was dragged by the hand of Ogum, who quickly grabbed him from behind. Hyeonjong, who cried out in pain, apologized to Tanggunak.
“sorry.”
“no. “It’s not wrong.”
Tanggunak chuckled and looked south. A moment of nostalgia flashed through his eyes, but Tanggunak turned his head towards the north, leaving that regret in the southern land.
“Please leave.”
“yes.”
Danggunak led Gasol and took a step forward.
Put the past behind them and go to where they should live from now on.
“Did you say you would settle down in Shaanxi?”
Baekcheon’s face was filled with embarrassment. Seeing him astonished, Tanggunak asked.
The sight in his eyes was literally astonishment.
“Haven’t we already discussed this?”
“That’s right, but…”
“I know. “The meaning is a little different.”
“⋯⋯Yes. “That’s what I’m saying.”
Baekcheon flinched, fearing that I might have made a mistake. Seeing him like that, Tang Gunak chuckled.
“I just made a decision that had to be made.”
Tanggunak looked back at those following him.
More than 500 people are following us. Considering the situation, if you include the people related to the party who will join, the number will be as many as 1,000.
“Of course, I also want to go back to Sichuan. “Even now, my blood boils when I think of the land of Sacheon, where I was born and raised, being trampled under the feet of that defeated army.”
“⋯⋯I understand.”
What if Shaanxi and Hwaeumhyeon fall into the hands of Sapaeryeon? It was clear that Baekcheon’s eyes would roll over right away, without even having to drag that bad-tempered bastard into it.
Losing one’s home is not simply losing land. It is no different from losing all the memories of living in that land.
“But this might be better for now. You can’t just focus on a piece of land while trying to rebuild your family’s foundation. Now we need to be prepared to cultivate new land in a new place. “For the family and… for them too.”
Danggunak’s gaze as he examined Gasol showed warm concern.
Since they have not mastered martial arts, they are moving frustratingly slow by his standards, but they are all moving forward without saying a word.
What Tanggunak must do from now on is to transform the despair that has not yet completely disappeared from their eyes into hope.
“⋯⋯I’m sorry.”
“What do you mean by that? “Matriarch!”
Baekcheon violently waved his hand at the apology Tanggunak had brought out in a confusing manner.
“Of course, my opinion is not that important in this matter, but in any case, I would be very grateful if the party would come to Shaanxi. “What could be more reassuring than that?”
“Why don’t you say that…”
“Hey!”
The warm atmosphere broke my back. Danggunak and Baekcheon, who were shocked, turned their gazes to one place at the same time. Cheongmyeong looked like he had ‘I am against’ written all over his face.
“Where?”
“Seoul…”
“where?”
“Hwa…um.”
“Hwaaaaaaamm?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes twinkled. Baekcheon had often seen the sight of an evil spirit suddenly popping out, so he thought it was like that. However, Tanggunak, who had not experienced this often, was momentarily frightened and retreated without realizing it.
“Who knows enough to know this? “Do you have a place in the chords?”
“⋯⋯That⋯⋯.”
“No, I didn’t see this guy like that, but he doesn’t have any sense of humor! Let’s take a seat in that narrow space so that there is something to pick up and eat. Let’s go! “We don’t even have enough to eat.”
“Hmm. “I’m not saying it will last for a thousand or ten thousand years…”
“Hey man! What does that mean? “We would be grateful if the party came at a time like this.”
When Yunjong interrupted because he couldn’t hear, Cheongmyeong glared fiercely.
“thanks? Did you really say thank you just now? No, the mere sight of one of the Jongnam bastards in the damn Shaomseo makes me so angry that I’m thinking about setting fire to Mt. Jongnam and burning it all down!”
“We would like to inform you that these words have nothing to do with Hwasan’s official position.”
“⋯⋯I’m really scared that someone will hear it. “That bastard is a Taoist, everyone.”
Each of the five swords covered their faces and muttered, but Cheongmyeong continued talking without paying any attention.
“What if they come crawling in there? “What do we eat to survive?”
“No, that…”
“And where are the people? I have to feed and put to sleep over 500 people! “Why does money come out when you dig in the ground?”
Jogeol got angry at those words.
“Hey you bastard! How arrogant are you talking about money in front of the party! “How rich the Tang family is!”
“what?”
“If you compare the wealth of the party family, our house is a beggar’s den built in a half-baked manner under a bridge! “Do you know how much money the Tang family would make if they sold off the rare metals and poisons they had accumulated?”
“Oh yeah. Well said. “A castle full of expensive and rare poisons can be purchased with precious stones and metals, as well as goods piled up in warehouses.”
“Yeah man!”
“Where is all that now?”
“uh?”
That’s right… In Sacheon…
“It was completely burned.”
“Fire is fair.”
“Yeah, that’s fair. “It was fair to the volcano.”
“Why bring up that story?”
The wealth that the Tang family had accumulated over hundreds of years was not brought with them when they fled. Most of it would have been burned or Jang Il-so would have giggled and devoured it.
“Uh, so that means…”
“okay. So, that’s…”
The five swords were thinking about something and all looked to one side.
For a moment, thick cold sweat rolled down Tanggunak’s face in front of the pouring gaze. Their eyes spoke clearly. ‘what? ‘Are you a beggar?’ And…
huh? Are you Soso? Why are you like that…
“It’s not that I was rich, it was that I was rich!”
“Hehehe.”
Not only other people, but also the Tang Dynasty became more and more sullen. Baekcheon quickly cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Of course, the situation is difficult now… but isn’t the party family the party family? “If we give you a little help, it will prosper again soon…”
“Oh, they will take away the children who will become prosperous and enter the volcano industry. We share the workplace appropriately, right? Just like the Jongnam bastards.”
“How about going to Hanam?”
“Sa Sasuk!”
“It’s a mistake… “The words came out in vain.”
Baekcheon quickly waved his hand. But I couldn’t contain my words, and Ogum’s cold gaze fell on me.
“Has your personality worsened or was it originally bad?”
“I think it’s the latter. The blood is bad. “Where will the blood from Jongnam go?”
“That makes sense.”
“⋯⋯bastards.”
Tanggunak sighed while looking at the bickering Ogeom.
“I don’t know anything else, but there will be no need to steal my students. “Rather, it’s because we lost the game.”
“yes? “What do you mean by that?”
“I heard that the female members of the Tang family want to enter volcanology.”
“⋯⋯ Actually, I wanted to pretend not to know, but the head of the family’s voice was so loud that I heard it… Didn’t he decide to teach the Tang family’s martial arts instead?”
“Of course we will do that to those who want it. But, as you all know, the martial arts of the Tang family is not universal.”
“⋯⋯That too.”
Poisoning and memorization are martial arts that are difficult to master even after learning them over a lifetime. Because he built a family with his uneducated skills, he is said to have a great family.
“There is no need to force me to take a thorny path since I am a late-starting martial arts student. “If you want to join volcanoes, I think I’ll allow that too.”
“No, it’s funny to listen to, isn’t it? We are receiving disciples, so why do you allow it? This guy doesn’t understand the current situation… town! “Ugh!”
Baekcheon immediately covered Cheongmyeong’s mouth with his hand and released Hero’s gun with his other hand. And then he stuffed it into Cheongmyeong’s mouth like a gag.
“… That thing has more uses than I thought.”
“I know.”
“Get this bastard away!”
“yes.”
As Cheongmyeong was dragged away, Tang Gunak sighed and opened his mouth again.
“It’s not just women. “It will also open the way for young children who have not yet been properly exposed to the martial arts of the Tang family to enter Hwasan.”
“Actually, from our perspective, we couldn’t be more grateful…”
Baekcheon turned his head and looked in one direction with an awkward expression.
“⋯⋯Are you okay?”
There, with their limbs tied up, they said, ‘Where are you going? Just watch the bastards crawl in.’ There was Cheongmyeong, who poured out the words with just his eyes, ‘I will personally show you around hell.’
“⋯⋯They will overcome it.”
Tanggunak said with a worried face. Of course it’s not okay, but…
“So please take care of me…”
Buuuuuck!
At that moment, Cheongmyeong, who had cut the strings that bound his body, jumped up and spit out Baekcheon’s hero gun that was stuck in his mouth like a cannonball.
“No, you are a disciple and you are Nabal! So what are you going to do with the money? “If you want to come into someone else’s land and settle down, you have to pay rent!”
“⋯⋯Just do it yourself.”
“If you think about it, if this cub had been born in Gangnam and became a Sapa cub, Jang Il-so wouldn’t have been able to run away like that.”
Instead, another hell would have unfolded.
“Are you going to feed five hundred people who have no money? “What kind of charity are we doing?”
“uh.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong looked back at Yunjong. Yoonjong said calmly.
“that’s right. We are conduits. “Do charity work.”
“uh? really? Is that what conduits are supposed to do?”
⋯⋯Dew formed around Yunjong’s eyes. O God of original origin. Where on earth did it go wrong? Where on earth did you start…
“Hmm! Anyway, I can never admit it! “It’s so annoying to see these bastards fucking around in the chords, so what kind of extra bullshit are you adding…”
“I have money.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
Cheongmyeong looked back at Tanggunak.
“Did you bring it?”
“As you can see, I didn’t bring it.”
“Then what do you usually carry around with you?”
“Who carries money into battle?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes, which seemed to soften for a moment, suddenly became fierce again.
“Then where does the money come from!”
“Didn’t the Tang family leave Sichuan for a while because of the Demonic Cult in the past?”
“yes? “It was like that, right?”
“Since then, about three-tenths of our assets have been distributed and stored in other regions and battlefields in preparation for any emergency.”
“how much?”
“Samhal.”
“Uh… That’s why…”
30% of the wealth of the Tang family that has been sucking the blood of the Sichuan people for hundreds of years… Uh…
Cheongmyeong glanced up at the sky and lowered his head. An extremely warm smile suddenly spread across his face as he watched Tanggunak.
“Welcome to Shaanxi. lol. What does it mean to be a good friend? “You can rest as much as you want! We will protect you from now on!”
⋯⋯It was a Tanggunak that was seriously considering whether to just go to Hanam and rely on Shaolin.
