Episode 895 It’s better to die than not to get it. (5)
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong took a long breath and lightly scratched his cheek.
“…I was planning on having fun and eating for now.”
“Stop playing around.”
“It’s true.”
“….”
As Baekcheon looked at him with indescribable contempt, Cheongmyeong threw up his hands with an annoyed face.
“Why are you looking at me like that again? “It’s not up to me to decide.”
“huh?”
“Those bastards decide.”
No one knew who the ‘bastards’ Cheongmyeong was referring to.
“…Sapaeryeon.”
“okay.”
When Baekcheon spoke in pain, Cheongmyeong nodded slightly.
“It’s definitely true, but…”
Yoonjong said, tilting his head.
“But if Lord Bunta Hong says what he said, there could be a situation where the Sapaeryun also cannot move due to internal problems.”
“That won’t happen.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong shrugs his shoulders.
“There could definitely be infighting. But there won’t be any delay because of that. “I’m not the type of person to be held back by something like that.”
Everyone’s heads nodded in unison.
They also know that the leaders of the Xinchuo Group are not ordinary. Haven’t you already seen with your own eyes the power they have on the Yangtze River?
These are the people who did not lose an inch against the heads of the nine factions and the five major families who commanded the world. No, in some ways it was even overwhelming.
But….
‘Will that Jang Il-so be a hindrance to them?’
Even if I get stuck, I’m not the type of person to waste time there. Jang Il-so cuts off his ankle and goes on his way.
Baekcheon’s face hardened as he thought about this.
I don’t think like this because I easily look at the leaders of the Xinchuo faction. This conclusion was drawn because Jang Il-so’s presence was so much greater than them.
“If it’s definitely Jang Il-so….”
Cheongmyeong nodded and said indifferently.
“And think about it. “Doesn’t Jang Il-so know that we know this, that we know about openness, that all political factions know?”
“…of course you understand.”
“okay. You know. If you know, you will be prepared. “There’s no way he wouldn’t think of what I would do.”
Baekcheon looks at Cheongmyeong with new eyes.
It is clear that Cheongmyeong hates Jang Il-so more than anyone else in Gangho. However, as I listen to it like this, I begin to think that perhaps the person Cheongmyeong recognizes most in the world is also Jang Il-so.
‘It’s a little annoying.’
Who could make something like that come out of that damn guy’s mouth?
“And it has already moved.”
“huh? “What do you mean?”
Jo Geol opened his eyes wide and asked, and Cheongmyeong chuckled.
“Is it really a coincidence that those Sapa bastards invaded Shaanxi this time?”
“…Are you saying that was Jang Il-so’s intention as well?”
Yoonjong shook his head.
“I think that’s a bit too far-fetched. I interrogated those Gangseo Chilsal people, but Galcheonrip had nothing to do with Sapaeryeon. And in the first place, he is not the kind of person who would listen to Jang Il-so.”
Cheongmyeong stared at Yunjong and shook his head.
“execution.”
“huh?”
“The death penalty is all good, but being too kind is the problem.”
“…Isn’t that an insult?”
Considering who that person is, it would definitely not be a compliment. never.
“It’s okay to use your own hands to make something move. A true expert creates situations so that things happen on their own without me having to do anything.”
Cheongmyeong took a sip from a new bottle of liquor and continued speaking.
“No matter how large Gangnam is, if Jang Il-so had wanted to, he could have beheaded people like that before they even came up to Gangbuk. “Even the Yangtze River has been occupied, so it’s even weirder to lose it.”
“…Then Jang Il-so sent those guys to Shaanxi on purpose?”
“okay.”
“why?”
Baekcheon asked with a puzzled look. Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know about that.”
“….”
Then everyone’s eyes narrowed. There was subtle contempt. After seeing the reaction, Cheongmyeong’s face suddenly distorted.
“What kind of mind reader am I? “How should I know what that crazy bastard is thinking!”
“I thought you knew.”
“They say crazy people get along with each other.”
“Even if everyone in the world doesn’t know, you need to know.”
“…damn things.”
Cheongmyeong gulped down his drink as if his throat was burning.
In fact, he passed it off as if it was a joke, but his eyes were darker than before. As if unsaid words had sunk into the snow.
‘Jang Il-so…’
He put down the bottle and opened his mouth again, wiping the corners of his mouth.
“You only need to know what is certain.”
“sure thing?”
Cheongmyeong nodded.
“It’s moving.”
The hall became quiet.
This is a fact everyone knew. Wasn’t it because he had guessed that fact that he was able to endure the difficult training?
Baekcheon nodded.
“I guess I need to finish my preparations before then. “So that we can deal with him no matter what nonsense he does.”
“What…”
Cheongmyeong glanced at Baekcheon’s words and laughed.
“You did the preparation to the point where you got sick of it. no?”
“Right.”
“…I made it bitter, not sour.”
“Ah, are you talking about the thing you vomited at that time?”
“You vomited too, you bastard!”
Yoon Jong kicked Jo Geol with his foot. However, Jo Geol must have definitely grown over the past three years, and now she has shown the courage to say what she has to say even while being beaten.
“I just spilled a little bit, but my brother-in-law vomited up everything he ate for breakfast!”
“When will I do it?”
Yoonjong protested with a wide face. However, no one bothered to make fun of Yoonjong with that fact. In fact, during the harsh training, it was just a small incident that could be laughed over.
“Rather than preparing, you should organize.”
“organize?”
“huh. organize.”
Cheongmyeong slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
“We need to sort out this messed-up situation, so it will be easier to deal with that bastard Jang Il-so when he turns a blind eye and rushes at us. Above all… we need to do something about those damn old school bastards.”
As Cheongmyeong’s face began to boil over again while talking about the old faction, Hyeyeon flinched and secretly looked away.
“So there’s no need to think about it anymore.”
There was little confidence in Cheongmyeong’s voice.
“Because soon it will be time to fight until we get tired of it.”
Everyone stiffened their faces and nodded.
As the atmosphere died down in an instant, Cheongmyeong lifted the bottle of alcohol in his hand and shook it lightly.
“So, let’s just drink today.”
“Not a bad idea.”
“I heard he says the right things sometimes.”
The atmosphere quickly heated up again. Cheongmyeong, leaning against the wall, chuckled as he watched everyone emptying their bottles as if competing with each other.
‘You deserve it.’
In the past, young chicks would have already criticized Cheongmyeong for only revealing their playfulness, but such words do not suit them now. These are people who have endured training that cannot even be described as harsh for the past three years without a single complaint.
Even for Cheongmyeong in the past, it would not have been easy for them to endure the training at their age. Of course he did it, but…
– Who? you? What about you?
“Oh my, that guy is real.”
“huh?”
“…No, it’s nothing.”
Cheongmyeong quietly distorted his face.
anyway.
Those who have pushed themselves that harshly also need appropriate rest. It’s not like Cheongmyeong stole the liquor from the warehouse because he wanted to drink it…
– That guy’s acting like shit.
“No, this guy is the real one!”
“Why do you keep doing that?”
“…no.”
Unable to complain, Cheongmyeong sighed deeply.
‘More than that…’
Then, suddenly, a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.
‘He’s definitely plotting something.’
It is unlikely that Jang Il-so will obviously cross the Yangtze River and start a war. Because Jang Il-so is someone who has somehow created a battlefield that is advantageous to me and is trying to wield that battlefield to his will.
The fact that the Sapaeryun has become quiet recently clearly means that he is preparing something. A decisive move that will resolve the internal strife within that faction and lead to victory in the war against that old faction.
“…well, whatever it is.”
Cheongmyeong muttered quietly and the corners of his mouth twitched.
No matter how amazing the strategy is, it is meaningless if your skills are lacking. That was something that Qingming felt keenly at the Yangtze River.
Now Cheongmyeong… no, Hwaseong will tell Jang Il-so that fact.
“…Sasuk. “Is that guy laughing in an unpleasant way?”
“I told you to leave it alone. It looks like the mania has taken over again. “It seems like it’s gotten worse these days.”
“If you go any crazier, it’ll be hard to see you as a human being.”
No, let’s just… let’s just do what Cheongmyeong tells us.
huh.

“All compensation has been completed.”
“hmm.”
“All the bodies from the village swept away by the Sapa bastards were collected and given a funeral, and the survivors were handed over to the next village. “I promised support in the name of the volcano and the galaxy top, so I won’t treat you harshly.”
“I guess so.”
“It is said that Wiripsan Munju, who went to Namyang, is also returning after handing over the body.”
Hyeonjong, who was listening to the report, quietly nodded.
With this, it can be said that the volcano’s work in Xi’an is over. It took a little longer than expected, but thanks to that, we were able to finish it more neatly.
“Sangdan lord.”
When Hyeonjong called him Sangdanju, Hwang Jong-ui straightened up with a slightly nervous expression. This is because he sensed that public comments would be made.
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
Hyeonjong looked at Hwang Jong-ui and opened his mouth.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Oh no.”
When Hwang Jong-ui put out his hand in embarrassment, Hyeonjong said with a warm smile.
“I’m not just talking about this incident. “It is difficult for me to lift my head after knowing how much suffering the Lord of the Sangsan went through during Hwasan’s reign.”
“Now Jangmun-in.”
Hyeonjong bowed his head towards Hwang Jong-ui.
“I am always grateful to you for helping our volcanoes, which are in need.”
Hwang Jong-ui was shocked and tried to dissuade Hyeonjong.
“Why are you doing this, Jang Mun-in! There aren’t enough volcanoes! How dare you say such a thing! “There is no shortage of volcanoes.”
At those words, Hyeonjong slightly raised his head.
“Did you say it wasn’t enough?”
“Okay then.”
Hyeonjong turned his gaze somewhere. Then I looked at that place intently and asked again.
“…Do you really think so?”
“….”
Hwang Jong-ui could not bear to open his mouth for a moment.
This is because at the end of King Hyeonjong’s gaze, there were Hwasan disciples who were collectively banging their heads on the floor.
“Keuung….”
“Head….”
“Jogeul, this bastard… Who wants to use my skills? “Do you want to lose?”
“…You’re telling me that again….”
A lion’s voice burst out of Hyeonjong’s mouth.
“Why don’t you hit it straight, you damn bastards!”
The people here were not volcano disciples who calmly returned to the top of the galaxy at dawn and got caught. They are the world’s most disgraceful servants, who drank as much alcohol as they could find and threw away everything, only to return in the morning reeking of alcohol….
‘You idiots!’
‘How can no one wake up?’
‘I believed that these things were capital punishment.’
Hyeonjong’s angry voice fell towards the back of Ohgeom, who was looking at each other like a knife.
“The problem hasn’t even been resolved yet? alcohol? Suul? Also, do you drink alcohol from someone else’s warehouse? Are you still gurus? “And you’re still a Taoist!”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong raised his hand back just as he hit his head.
“What?”
“Uh… hehe. It’s true that we did something wrong, but if you look at it, we’re not the only ones left with the Galaxy Top…”
“What are you doing, man?”
The moment the lid was opened, Hyeonjong rolled his eyes and tried to rush in, but Hyeonyoung and Hyeonjae quickly grabbed him from both sides and held him down.
“Calm down!”
“Others can see Jang Moon-in!”
“That’s the problem!”
King Hyeonjong shouted like a thunderbolt and glared at the elders as if he were going to eat them.
“Isn’t it like this because other people see it? Because other people see it! “I can’t live because I’m too masculine!”
“Hmm.”
“In the past, that guy used to cause accidents on his own, but now…”
At those words, everyone, including Baekcheon, flinched and closed their eyes.
“…I thought I would have matured after going through all that hardship for three years, but I am even stronger than before! Add it up! “What can happen to a volcano?”
Hyeonjong, who was exhausted from losing his temper, sighed and turned his head. And he bowed his head while holding Hwang Jong-ui’s hand.
“Thank you so much for being with this ugly volcano…”
“…”
Looking at his face filled with sadness and resentment, Hwang Jong-ui could not bear to say anything. I have no choice but to just keep my mouth shut.
Hyeonjong, who somewhat vaguely offered an apology for stealing alcohol and an apology for showing off his ugly side, raised his head.
“Hyeonsang Hyeonyoung.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
“Get ready right away.”
“yes?”
“We will return to the volcano.”
Hyeonjae looked at Hyeonjong with a happy face.
“Now that we’ve finished our work, let’s go back to the volcano…”
“I’m so embarrassed that I can’t stay here any longer! “Pack your bags right now! Right now!”
“….”
“Come on!”
“…yes.”
In this way, the return of the volcano wave was suddenly decided.
