Episode 796 If you’re handsome and unlucky, you’re a real loser. (1)
“I am Emperor Namgung.”
“This is Byeokhyeon (碧賢).”
Hyunjong launched an airlift towards the two people.
“It is the current species of volcano. “I couldn’t be happier to see you again.”
They are all familiar from past world martial arts competitions. However, the two people’s attitudes toward Hyeonjong changed noticeably.
First, the wall sage.
He, a long-time scholar of Cheongseong, smiled brightly as he looked at King Hyeonjong.
“Sacheon is famous for its volcanoes. I had a good idea that Hwasan would become famous during the World Cup, but I can only admire his performance that surpassed my expectations. “Congratulations, Jang Moon-in.”
“Are you exaggerating? “It’s hard to handle.”
“That’s too much praise. No one would think so. “I couldn’t be more reassured by Hwasan coming in a situation where I have to deal with evil enemies.”
Hyeonjong’s face turned red.
Nevertheless, for some reason, I felt a strain on my shoulders because I could feel that what Cheongseong Jang Mun-in was saying was not pretentious, but sincere.
but.
“What do you mean the volcano is doing here?”
It seems that Emperor Namgung did not think so.
He stared at Hyeonjong with cold eyes.
“The power gathered here is already too much to deal with just a single enemy. Increasing the number of people for no reason will only lead to confusion. “Since we came late, we should just provide support from the back instead of clumsily interfering and causing trouble.”
“….”
“There is no room for Cheon Woo-maeng here.”
The Wall Sage frowned.
“Aren’t you saying too much, Gaju Nangong?”
“What do you mean it’s too much? That is correct. “Even if Hwasan started it all, didn’t Hwasan stay on the island and play a charm while we fought the enemy?”
Hyeonjong’s eyes trembled.
‘It’s called Sinseon Play….’
Can that be called Sinseon Play?
Well… it might seem that way to those who don’t know the circumstances. Life is inherently a comedy when seen from afar and a tragedy when seen up close.
Emperor Namgung glared at King Hyeonjong with a very disapproving look.
In fact, the person here who has the worst feelings about Hwasan may not be the shaman, but the Namgung family.
The shaman lost his reputation after losing in a fight with Hwaseong, and although it is difficult to get close to him due to his similar tendencies, the actual loss he suffered is not that great.
However, the Namgung family lost too much because of the volcano.
First of all, the Tang family broke away from the Five Dynasties.
Although it has not been officially declared yet, joining the Cheonwoo Alliance means breaking the bond of the five generations. For the Namgung family, who lead them as the heads of the five major families, the departure of the Tang family is as damaging as cutting off an arm.
Second, Beijing’s commercial district is being taken over.
Among the five major families, the largest financial sources are the Namgung family and the Peng family. Nangong established a commercial sphere centered on Anhui, but the Hebei Peng family dominates the commercial sphere of Beijing.
However, thanks to the damned Galaxy Sangbo’s special travel, the balance of the Beijing business world was in danger of being broken as high-ranking officials began looking for the Galaxy Sangbo. Then, naturally, the burden on the Namgung family also increased.
Money and power.
In the midst of attacking both of them, no matter how good of a person Prince Nangong is, how can he look at Hwasan with good eyes?
And above all….
‘Damn it. Because of those damn volcanoes, Dowie was put to shame.’
Other clans also suffered great humiliation from the volcano.
However, the weight of the disgrace of a disciple of a sect and the disgrace of the head of the So family, who should be the next head of the family, are so different that they cannot even be compared.
Because of this situation, Emperor Nangong could not bear to see Hwasan lose his reputation, at least not in this place where he was.
“What do you think, Elder? Are you thinking of moving with the volcano?”
“Hmm.”
The legal world was silent and postponed its answer. This was not something that could be answered hastily. No matter how I answered, it was clear that there would be problems.
Usually, things like this are discussed quietly behind the scenes, but thanks to Emperor Nangong’s direct attack, I’m even more at a loss for what to say. Because there are too many eyes.
“What do you think, Jang Mun-in?”
Heo Do-jin, who was slowly walking towards this direction, smiled when asked the question.
“If you think about it, wasn’t this attack on the Yangtze River possible because there was a volcano?”
“…hmm.”
Emperor Nangong’s eyes narrowed slightly. Heo Do-jin said.
“No one can deny that volcanoes played a pivotal role.”
“Jang Moon-in….”
“So.”
Heo Do-jin-in cut off Emperor Nangong’s speech with a few words.
“Give us the credit in this strategy, Jang Moon-in. We also came to the Yangtze River to pursue negotiations, but if Hwasan takes all the credit, we will not stand a chance.”
“….”
A look of embarrassment flashed across King Hyeonjong’s face as he looked at Heo Do-jin like that. I already guessed what that meant, but I didn’t expect him to say it so directly.
“please.”
When Heo Do-jin-in slightly bowed his head, Hyeonjong quickly waved his hand.
“Don’t do this. What kind of big deal is it that Jangmun shows such disrespect? “I will do as you say.”
“thank you.”
Heo Do-jin smiled and continued speaking.
“It’s not just about the ball. As you can see, the terrain there is like that.”
“…Hmm.”
What Heo Dojinin pointed to was across the river. Hyeonjong’s complexion hardened.
‘This type of terrain…’
The river was not that wide. Considering the width of the Yangtze River we have seen so far, it is rather narrow. If I put my mind to it, I didn’t think I would have much trouble in Doha.
But the problem lies next.
“It’s in there…”
There was a high, steep cliff across the river. And in the middle of it, there was a narrow valley that looked as if it had been formed by a heavenly spirit striking it with an axe.
“Are you saying the Black Dragon House is in there?”
“yes. “It is barely wide enough for a large ship to pass.”
“….”
Beopgye continued his explanation.
“I tried to turn around and enter from the back, but it wasn’t that easy. First of all, the cliff is too high to jump off. Then you have to go down with a rope, but it’s a big job to get a rope that long… Considering the skills of the people inside, you have to take a lot of damage just to go down the cliff.”
“…Hmm. “That’s right.”
A while ago, when the volcano hit Daegyeongchae, green forests fell down the cliffs.
However, this was possible because the volcano below blocked the archers and drew attention to those coming down to prevent the enemies from sticking to them.
If it were at an appropriate height, you could take advantage of being on top, but this height only endangers those who enter.
“But the only way to attack from above is to go down the cliff, right? “A falling rock or something…”
“You mean to pour boiling oil on it?”
Even before King Hyeonjong finished speaking, Prince Namgung intervened in a sarcastic voice.
“The volcano had a reputation for being a disaster site, but I guess it was all an exaggeration.”
He scoffed openly and sarcastically.
“Are you saying you thought there would be someone down there and made such a blind attack? In the Black Dragon House, there may be captive civilians or people working as laborers. Throw rocks at their heads?”
“….”
“That doesn’t even sound like a horse.”
Hyeonjong sighed slightly. A new sigh escaped my lips.
It’s radical, but it’s not wrong. Those who came to the Yangtze River to negotiate cannot blindly attack without considering the damage to the civilians.
“I think it would be right for you, the head of the Nangung family, to take a little breather.”
“Hmm.”
Emperor Namgung cleared his throat loudly at the words of the courtier, who indirectly cautioned him. The legal system said, summarizing the situation.
“So, it looks like we will have to enter through the front road. “The civilians will be harmed, but if they are Surochae’s elite, they will not be harmed by such attacks.”
“If you do…”
“Too many people on a narrow road will be a hindrance. “It is difficult to distinguish between the factions that will attack and those that will not, so I think you will have to give way to the volcano that arrived last.”
“…All right.”
Now that even the legal world had come forward, King Hyeonjong had no choice.
Above all, these four sects are linked by the solidarity of the nine factions and the five generations. I can’t help but feel uncomfortable with Hyeonjong, who is a member of Cheonwoomaeng.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Not much to say…”
Although the conversation took place a little distance away, it was clearly audible to Baekcheon’s ears. His face twitched slightly with anger.
‘Damn it.’
Some people criticize with blatant hostility, others politely, and others gently.
Everyone has different methods, but everyone naturally rejects volcanoes. Hwasan, who was the first to fight against Surochae and risk war for the people of the Yangtze River.
‘Is this their way?’
It was at that time that Baekcheon bit his lip while holding back his anger.
Jerk.
‘hmm?’
A person was seen approaching towards the volcano.
With each step, I could tell just by their youthful energy that they were not approaching with any kindness.
Baekcheon, who was quietly examining his face, was shocked for a moment.
‘Nangungdowi?’
In the past, it was Namgung Dowi, a single-armed sword, who was truly defeated by Cheongmyeong in the world martial arts competition. As he approached the disciples of Hwasan, his face was cold and expressionless, as if he were wearing iron armor.
Jerk.
Namgung Dowi, standing right in front of Baekcheon, stared quietly and opened his mouth.
“Where is the Volcanic God Dragon?”
“…yes?”
“Volcano God Dragon.”
Baekcheon slightly turned his head instead of answering.
At the same time, everyone’s eyes were focused on Baekcheon.
“town! Eup! town!”
“….”
“….”
Nangong Daowi’s eyes trembled.
‘I’m sorry.’
Baekcheon sincerely apologized to Nangung Dowi, coming from the deepest part of his heart. If you think about how Namgung Dowi must have walked all the way here, he shouldn’t be seen like that. That’s the minimum courtesy towards people…
“Let go of Fu.”
“Is that okay?”
“Release it quickly!”
“yes!”
Jo Geol and Yoon Jong untied the cloth that tied Cheongmyeong’s mouth and pulled out the iron rope that was wrapped around her body. Cheongmyeong squealed with a wide open face as if he had been waiting.
“Puaaaat! hey! Shouldn’t you tie it up so you can breathe? “I thought you were going to fall!”
“That’s not important now. “I am a guest, Cheongmyeong.”
“huh? customer?”
Only then did Cheongmyeong turn his head and look at Nangong Daowi.
“Ah…”
Nangong Daowi’s complexion hardened and he opened his mouth in a heavy voice.
“It’s been a while…”
“…Who are you?”
Nangong Daowi, who was momentarily speechless, turned his head and looked only at the distant sky.
And Baekcheon couldn’t bear to see that and turned his head away.
‘I am really sorry.’
Maybe it would have been better to just keep tying it up.
At that time, the clueless Jo Geol quickly whispered to Cheongmyeong.
“It’s Namgungdowi! Namgungdowi! “Namgungdowi, a single-armed sword!”
“ah? Namgungdowi?”
“okay!”
Cheongmyeong looked at Nangong Daowi for a moment longer and said.
“…Who is that?”
“I had a match with you in a martial arts competition!”
“I’m not a fan of more than one person at a non-marriage competition, so I can’t help but remember them all.”
“The one who counted among them!”
“Hye-yeon?”
“Oh no, next time!”
“Lee Song-baek?”
“….”
Baekcheon watched.
Jo Geol glances at Namgung Dowi and sees a look of sincere regret on her face.
…That is a very rare sight.
“What happens next?”
“From then on, it’s all just nonsense. “How do I remember everything, even the little ones?”
Cheongmyeong waved his hands and stood up, shaking off his clothes. Then Namgung Dowi bit his lip and glared at him.
“You forgot me…”
“Ah!”
At that time, Cheongmyeong suddenly appeared and let out an exclamation and clapped his hands. Namgung Do-wi smiled crookedly as if he knew that would happen.
“Now I recognize him….”
“That handsome and unlucky guy from back then! Was his name Jin Eun-ryong? Right?”
“It’s Namgungdowi!”
“Huh… that’s strange. “If you’re not good-looking and lucky, you’re a real loser.”
Namgung Do-wi and Jin Dong-ryong… no, Baek-cheon fell apart at the same time.
Cheongmyeong, who was worried even more at that time, said again, “Ah!” He shouted.
“okay! Hey, it’s you! nice to meet! I remember seeing your face! At that time… uh…”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze, which was smiling brightly, glanced down.
At the same time, the gaze of everyone in the non-stage area at the time glanced down to follow Cheongmyeong and then quickly returned to its original position.
“…sorry. I had a lot of anger inside me at that time. It wasn’t something I had to do that much. “Are you okay? Is there a problem?”
“Ugh…”
Nangung Dowi’s handsome face was distorted like a yaksha.
