Episode 1499. How dare you not follow it? (4)
Pabababak.
Finally, the sound of the rough washing of one’s face resounded in the quiet inner room.
“Okay… I’d rather die than get sick.”
“Oh, it’s been a while since I heard that?”
“Walk. “Close your mouth.”
Cheongmyeong gritted his teeth and glanced upstairs. As if he would do anything to bring the situation to this point…
“So, let me just sum it up…”
Cheongmyeong said, pressing his temples because the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
“Sixty percent of the open forces have already passed over to the elders, and in order to use the information power of the open forces, we have to take down those elders and then turn the noblemen we want into arks, right?”
“exactly.”
“That damned bastard!”
“Ah, Amitabha Buddha! Calm down, Lord!”
“Stop it, you bastard!” “Still, you’re a dead man wearing a uniform!”
Hyeyeon and Yoonjong, who had been waiting on the left and right, suddenly grabbed him and stretched out. Cheongmyeong had no choice but to remain held captive and stare at the ceiling as if he were Marshal Cheolcheon.
At that time, Jo Geol asked Baek Cheon in a low voice.
“But Sasuk.”
“huh?”
“Are things really bad now? “If you help me with the Ark, it seems like a good opportunity to intervene in the succession plan and turn the opening on our side.”
“yes. If it works out, it will. If things go really well, opening up…”
Baekcheon remained silent from that point on.
What he originally wanted to say was, ‘I don’t know if there will be a situation where Gaebang leaves the Gupailbang and joins the Cheonwoo Alliance.’ However, it was probably not an appropriate thing to say in front of the Ark of Openness.
“But that’s only when things go well. If things go wrong, the repercussions are unimaginable. Interfering with Tamun’s succession is completely against Kang-ho’s ethics. No, it’s not just a violation; it’s almost like declaring that you will become enemies with openness.”
“Is it that much?”
“I was originally going to be Hwasan’s Jangmunin, but just imagine that Jongnam systematically intervened and made Baeksang the Jangmunin.”
“…Good?”
“….”
“Oh no. Then it won’t work! Good things are only good if we do them! How dare you Jongnams stand up? “Burn down Mt. Jongnam!”
“okay. “It’s like that.”
Baekcheon, who was a little concerned about Lee Songbaek washing his face behind him, cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“Anyway… if you are too harsh, a situation may arise that turns the entire openness into an enemy.”
“But wouldn’t the situation be different if the Ark was on one side?”
At those words, each person looked at Pungyeongsingae. Pungyeongsingae, who was at the end of everyone’s gaze, smiled awkwardly.
“Well… I’m about to be kicked out right now…”
“I’m proud of this, you bastard!”
“Oh my, Cheongmyeong!”
“Hands off! Still, please give me the ark, death penalty! “You can’t draw your sword!”
“Beoljangmeori.”
Seeing the sight of Hwasan’s disciples rushing in from all directions and crushing Cheongmyeong, Feng Yeongsingae began to sweat profusely.
Those guys know who they are pressing now…
When Yu Iseol started hitting Cheongmyeong by stabbing him in the head with the sheath like she always did, Pungyeongsingae couldn’t bear to see any more and turned his head away. An unprecedented betrayal in the history of Kangho has already occurred. They’re the only ones who don’t know….
Yunjong, who was pressing Cheongmyeong’s arm, groaned and said.
“Sasook. Since things have come to this, how about requesting support from the headquarters of Cheonwoomaeng?”
“Do you mean to ask Jang Mun-in and Taesang Jang Mun-in to send someone to use the sword since we will intervene in the open succession issue?”
At that moment, something came to Yunjong’s mind.
This is the image of King Hyeonjong running to the opening with all his might, with his eyes bloodshot and his plum blossom sword drawn. Really, just thinking about it…
“…I’m going to have a heart attack.”
“Is there a Heavenly Demon? That is the Heavenly Demon….”
“I think I’m going to get bored.”
If that happens, you might have to check with their foreheads and tops of their heads how many grains of sand are really rolling around in Maehwa-dong.
“Let go!”
“Promise me you won’t cause an accident.”
“I got it! Okay, let it go!”
“…I don’t trust you.”
I didn’t believe it, but everyone reluctantly backed down anyway. Cheongmyeong sighed and sat down on the chair. Cheongmyeong scratched his head with one hand and glared at Pungyeongsingae.
Pungyeongsingae slightly averted his gaze.
“This is why you beggars.”
“…sorry.”
“Tsk.”
“So who is the head across from you?”
“This is Ilhogae Jo Nam-cheon (趙南天).”
“Ilhogae?”
Pungyeongsingae quietly nodded.
“Jo Nam-cheon, the number one person in the county. He is the one who is now trying to rally the elders and become the ark himself.”
“It’s not just one thing in the county, it’s one thing in the county. “A tiger in a pack of dogs…” As
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes, Fungyeongsingae opened his mouth with a bitter look on his face.
“As you can guess… he is the one who was originally supposed to be on the Ark of Openness. “It’s just…”
“That old man was looking for someone who would follow his will, and that became the ark?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“…It’s unfair.”
From Jo Nam-cheon’s perspective, it would have been crazy and jumping around.
Just by looking at his nickname, “County No. 1,” you can easily guess how he was treated within the government. That person was robbed of his place on the ark overnight without even knowing why.
“Are you a priest?”
“It is the death penalty.”
As Cheongmyeong looked at him with a sullen expression again, Feng Yeongsingae’s head gradually lowered.
Jo Geol whispered to Baek Cheon again.
“What is the situation Sasuk?”
“Yoon Jong-i, who I thought would naturally become a Jangmun writer, suddenly lost his position to you one day.”
“Eh? “Then the volcano will fail, right?”
“….”
Everyone who was pretending not to hear looked at Jo Geol blankly for a moment. Jo Geol flinched.
“why?”
“no. nothing.”
“I just thought I was doing a good job of understanding the topic.”
“Smart.”
“iced coffee. Well, it goes without saying. “Anyway, so you’re saying that I took Master Yunjong’s position and became Hwasan’s Jangmun-in, and that I’m even intentionally making a mess of Hwasan, and when my brother-in-law saw that, he gritted his teeth and rallied the other priests to take back his position as Jangmun-in?”
“If we had to compare it, it would be like that.”
“Uh… Sasuk? I don’t know if it’s because I’m short-thinking. No matter how much I listen to this…”
“It’s a bit like that, isn’t it?”
The gaze of Hwasan disciples who were looking at Fungyeongsingae became increasingly sullen.
“That seems like justice.”
“…This is the villain.”
“Honestly, if it were me, I would have given up a long time ago.”
Feng Yeongsingae only cleared his throat repeatedly and had no room to refute it. He just followed the will of his ancestors, but others wouldn’t think that way.
“Anyway, that’s why the Ilhogae or something is trying to rally the elders and become the Ark. How far did it go? Oh Hal? Sixty percent?”
“That’s….”
“It’s definitely not something to paint, is it?”
“Actually… the discussion between them has already ended. “It’s just that they are being delayed because they don’t have the means to open up and confirm that decision.”
Cheongmyeong’s pupils shook greatly.
“It’s over?”
“…yes.”
“Oh no, you don’t seem that incompetent either. What have you been doing so far?”
Pungyeongshingae’s eyes instinctively turn upward.
“Well… Master told me to wait a bit because he would handle it himself…” “
…You left without solving it?”
“yes.”
“In the meantime, you used the deafening technique to hold your breath, and then as soon as you opened your eyes, you went like that?”
“So to speak… yes.”
“Kruk…”
Just as Cheongmyeong grabbed the back of his neck and was about to move backwards, Tang Soso placed a needle on the back of Cheongmyeong’s head.
As the blood poured out, Tang Soso spoke calmly.
“Now that the blood has been removed, your blood pressure will go down. “Go ahead, death penalty.”
“Keueuung.”
Cheongmyeong quickly rubbed his face and gritted his teeth.
“So… all they need to do is get a stamp, and you have that stamp.”
“That’s right.”
“Then they… It’s not that they couldn’t find you, it’s that they didn’t. Because what they need is sick, not you. “There’s no way you’d be an idiot and bring something new to me, and I’m not going to reveal that location even if you get caught.”
“Exactly.”
“Then in this situation, all we have to do is persuade or beat them all and turn them into new open stocks?”
“yes.”
“Yes, you are saying the same thing! “You bastard!”
Ogeum slowly shook his head while indifferently suppressing Cheongmyeong’s seizures as if he were breathing. A sense of skepticism washed over me. Why is it like this, with no easy solution to everything I do?
“Mr. Erra!”
Cheongmyeong jumped up and kicked Hyeyeon, who was pressing down on her lower body.
“Well then, how can what I do be easy?”
“What are you going to do, Cheongmyeong?”
Baekcheon asked. The white part of the face was full of blood.
“What should I do? This is what has happened and now it’s a mess! Either the opening is shattered or I am shattered!”
“…I don’t think it’s something that can be solved by blindly hitting you?”
“That’s it!”
Cheongmyeong crossed his arms and thought deeply about something. Then he nodded his head loudly.
“But fortunately, we are in the opening and they don’t know we are here.”
“How does that help?”
“It’s better than nothing. And… one note is missing.”
Cheongmyeong turned his gaze towards Pungyeongsingae.
“Where is that human?”
“That human?”
“That human! that!”
Pungyeongsingae, who was thinking for a moment with a puzzled expression, suddenly said ‘Ah!’ and let out an exclamation.
“If it were him…”

“Damn you bastards.”
Hong Dae-gwang, in the dark alley of the deserted opening, spat with a sad look on his face.
Every time this damn group comes, I don’t get along. Moreover, I can only add more since I was brought in only to be criticized.
“Why are you telling me what that guy did? Damn it. “I can’t even argue with Jaogae!”
Currently, Zhao Kai is staying in the Yangtze River with his followers. Although it was clearly approved by the Ark, the elders of the general council were anxious not to be able to catch and eat such a beast.
However, since Zhao Gai has now, at least superficially, left the government, we cannot do anything by calling him. So, the general council is arresting and punishing Hong Dae-gwang instead.
He was already in a daze, but Hong Dae-gwang couldn’t help but seethe inside as he was called to the Supreme Council several times for this matter.
“Hey civa! It’s really dirty. Should I just withdraw from the group?”
Anyway, it looks like the ark has gone through the water, so it would be better to ask Cheonwoo-maeng to accept it…
“No… but it’s better here than going under that man.”
Hong Dae-gwang quickly changed his mind. Even if I died, I did not have the confidence to serve the Cheongmyeong governor. If this is just hell, then there is hell.
“Ugh.”
Hong Dae-gwang, who had erased the option of being Cheonwoo-maeng by crying and eating mustard, spit once again. It was just when I was about to take steady steps and head towards the headquarters.
“for a moment.”
“huh?”
Someone suddenly appeared in front of him and gently grabbed him.
“Who… huh? Transfer bag? Jongnam’s Song Baek?”
“Meeting Hwaeum Buntaju.”
“Why did Jongnam suddenly ask me this? I know about volcanoes… eh? Jingeumryong Daegyeop? No, the Jongnam people…. Huh?”
Hong Dae-gwang’s eyes widened as other Jongnam people appeared behind him, led by Jin Geum-ryong. Soon… his eyes began to tremble violently.
“Jo Jong-nam? “No, I’m sorry…”
He covered his mouth with his hand. When I found the person behind me, my whole body began to tremble.
“What is this…. Are you really out of your mind? “What on earth have you done…!”
“Hey beggar man.”
“Volcano God Dragon! Hey man, you….”
“You said it was your wish to become an ark, right?”
“what?”
“If you have good friends, even if you lack abilities, you can still use courage, right?”
“….”
“Today is the day to use that courage.”
Cheongmyeong grinned while looking at Hong Dae-gwang, who was shocked.
