Episode 938 Did you even expect it? (3)
Paaaaat!
The court’s feet kicked the ground again without stopping, having run out a dozen steps at once. In an instant, he jumped over the mountains blocking his path and crossed the flowing river in one go, moving forward again and again.
And behind him, a group of people dressed in yellow monk robes, the symbol of Shaolin, were following behind him.
Shaolin three hundred monks.
Is there anyone in the world who would not be intimidated by that sight? It was a sight that seemed to symbolize the power of Shaolin itself.
However…
the faces of the monks following the court were all pale, not befitting their high reputation. The leg that hit the ground was shaking as if it would break at any moment.
“Bar owner!”
The legal community that followed right behind the court called in an angry voice. But the court did not even turn its head.
“Director! The disciples can’t hold on any longer. We need to slow down!”
Only then did the court’s heads turn back. The emotion on his face was not concern, but deep anger.
“You cannot slow down.”
“There will be some stragglers!”
“Does not matter!”
The legal world flinched involuntarily at that shrill blue voice.
The court’s tightly bitten lips seemed to speak of his determination.
“Whoever falls behind is left behind. You can join us at Yangtze River later! “Now it is important to get to the Yangtze River as quickly as possible!”
“But…”
“It’s a matter of competing against the hour!”
“But the head of the house! Even if we reach the Yangtze River at best, if the disciples are exhausted and unable to fight, isn’t it useless?”
“Why don’t you say it’s okay!”
The court spoke firmly.
“If the Namgung family is not there, there is no need for full power as long as Namgung is there. “It’s enough to overwhelm the ditch!”
“…That’s true, but….”
“So don’t talk nonsense and speed up!”
“…All right!”
A bright blue glow emanated from the eyes of the court.
‘No more.’
I’ve already made several mistakes. If things get worse here, it may become truly irreversible. He could no longer sit by and watch as Shaolin’s reputation fell to the ground during his time.
A crisis is always an opportunity.
To say that the current situation is the worst is not enough, but if Shaolin can reach the Yangtze River in time to defeat Surochae and save the Namgung family, the situation can be turned around at once.
Therefore, the court could not miss this opportunity. It never should have been like that.
‘Faster!’
All you have to do is arrive before that Jangilso.
Power is always relative. It is impossible to deal with the entire Sapaeryeon with the power of Shaolin. But what if the opponent has only one Surochae?
Without having to wait for the Gong or Peng family, they would be able to subdue the Yangtze River just by joining forces with Nangong.
No, even if it is difficult to get there, it is possible to get the Namgung family to escape from the island without harm.
Then, all you have to do is wait for other clans to join and take care of the rest.
The most important thing now is to reach the Yangtze River before that group of people.
“Hurry now!”
“yes!”
Shaolin, transformed into a yellow line, ran to the Yangtze River again and again.
* * *
“So…”
“….”
At the secret continuation of the words, the swollen cheeks slightly twisted and puffed up again.
‘…is it going to explode?’
‘Still, it’s in front of a long book, so I can’t believe it.’
‘no. ‘Do you think it’s going to explode soon?’
However, the swollen buttocks, which seemed as if they were about to burst at any moment, slowly disappeared along with the blood.
‘I endure it, I endure it.’
‘Oh oh.’
‘You’ve grown, Cheongmyeong…! This Sa-sook was thrilled.’
Hyeonjong, who was examining Cheongmyeong’s complexion, cleared his throat softly.
“So this isn’t force majeure?”
“….”
“I’m not asking you to go. That… hmm. “We are obviously a political faction, but it’s a bit weird to refuse something like this…”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze slowly lowered. A letter lying on the table caught my eye.
“So…”
“Yes, yes.”
“Dang uncle… no, Dang family owner.”
“yes.”
“You’re saying you requested assistance?”
“That’s accurate.”
Hyeonjong smiled and nodded.
“So, Jang Mun-in, do you want to go?”
“Hmm. It’s not a matter of whether you want to go or not. “Isn’t this something we already agreed on?”
“….”
“It’s not a matter of profit, but a matter of good faith, so there’s nothing you can do about it, right?”
This time, blood began to form in Cheongmyeong’s eyes. Hyeonjong slowly turned his head and looked up at the distant ceiling. Even though he was a man of great letters and was far superior to me, at times like this, I was scared to look at his face.
“Ouch…”
A groan came out of Cheongmyeong’s mouth.
The situation was very simple. Qing Ming declared that he would never intervene in Yang Kang’s affairs. Of course, Hwasan’s position is determined by Hyeonjong, not Cheongmyeong, but as long as Cheongmyeong has a cause, even Hyeonjong cannot break his will at will.
But now, a letter from the Yangtze River gave King Hyeonjong a justification he did not have.
“Yangjiang… Do we need more manpower to evacuate people?”
“That’s right.”
Cheongmyeong rubbed his face with both hands.
“Ouch, your mouth is so arrogant! “This damn club is so selfish!”
Then he started slapping my mouth with his hand. Baekcheon looked at the sheep and lightly scratched his chin.
‘This is how it happens.’
Qingming once said something like that while discussing Tang Junyuak and the affairs of the Yangtze River.
– Even if Wuhan is unavoidable, there will be some people living in the Yangtze River basin who will move to Sacheon if they are provided with adequate support.
Tanggunak was angry at returning to Sacheon, abandoning the civilians he had cared for. Therefore, as an agreement on the conditions for the Tang Dynasty to withdraw from the Yangtze River, it was agreed that the Yangtze River civilians who requested to emigrate would be allowed to settle and live in Sacheon. Hwasan actively supports him.
Tang Kunyak eventually accepted Qingming’s proposal and was currently in the process of moving the Yangtze River civilians to Sacheon.
But…
“No! Does it make sense that there is a shortage of manpower? I’m going to Sacheondang! uh? Let’s go! “What kind of party house is not a place where local relatives live together and is short on manpower?”
“…Hasn’t the situation changed?”
“Ah-oh! Those damn Namgung bastards! Anyway, I can’t help you! “I should have stopped those bastards then!”
Jo Geol whispered to Yoon Jong.
“When exactly is he talking about?”
“Aren’t you talking about the Yangtze River Disaster? No, the Taoist guy is good at saying things like that. “After all, it is Cheongmyeong.”
Normally, he would have glanced at Yunjong like that, but Cheongmyeong didn’t have the presence of mind to do so right now.
The situation on the Yangtze River is changing more rapidly than he thought. I expected Surochae to take over Maehwado Island, but when I was making that plan, I couldn’t even think of the existence of ‘that crazy guy’ in Cheongmyeong.
With the occurrence of unexpected variables, the situation began to change about a month faster than he expected.
In other words…
“Originally, we would have been able to move everyone we wanted over the course of about a month, but as you know, the situation in the Yangtze River has changed. “The time has moved forward and the civilians have become aware that the situation has worsened, so it seems that the number of people who want to go to Sacheon has naturally increased.”
“….”
“We cannot say that we are not responsible for this matter either… Wasn’t this thing done in the name of Cheon Yu-maeng and not in the name of the party? I am a leader in name and name, but I can’t just throw Cheon Woo-maeng’s affairs to the head of the party and say he doesn’t know about me…”
“Jang Mun-in.”
“Yes?”
“…You just want to go and help?”
“Hehehehe.”
Hyeonjong cleared his throat loudly with a red face.
‘Anyway, the look in this nobleman’s eyes changes whenever he hears the sound of noblemen.’
It’s so foolish. But…
‘That’s a good thing.’
Cheongmyeong liked Hyeonjong’s foolishness. No, I respected him more than anything. Being foolish without knowing is foolish, but being foolish even after knowing is great.
“So, the first thing to do is to respond to the request for support…” “
….”
Hyeonjong added, saddened as Cheongmyeong’s expression was still somber.
“It is absolutely not about doing anything on the Yangtze River. Wouldn’t it be enough to just quickly evacuate the civilians there? Do the Shaolin and other sects who are currently rushing to the Yangtze River have the energy to pay attention there?”
“…That bald guy usually doesn’t care about things like that. “Because I don’t have any peripheral hair.”
“…That’s right. “There is no peripheral hair.”
Yunjong quietly asked Baekcheon.
“Do you know what you are talking about, Jang Moon-in?”
“Do you understand?”
“….”
Hyunjong, who blurted out words that should never be thrown at a bald man, hinted at Cheongmyeong again.
“So before the damage gets worse… shouldn’t we do something?”
Cheongmyeong sighed deeply.
‘I didn’t even think of this.’
There is a high possibility that this war will spread further than expected. So who will suffer the most from the war?
Shaolin? Surochae? The Namgung family? Or everyone?
you’re welcome.
Those who suffer the most are the poor people living near the Yangtze River. The fighting strongmen have their own purposes and got involved in this matter of their own will, so they have nothing to say even if they die. But what on earth is the crime for the common people who are living quietly and happily but are bombarded by phone calls?
That’s why Hyeonjong comes out. In order to reduce even one more unfortunate death that may occur.
“Cheongmyeong.”
“….”
“Cheongmyeong-ah.”
“….”
“Cheongmyeongaaaa!”
“Ah-oh! Okay, okay!”
Cheongmyeong let out a loud yell as if he was angry. And he glared at everyone with his axe eyes.
“Instead of! No matter what happens, we will not intervene in the Yangtze River War! never! Even if those bastards attack first, I will run away and never fight! “That great bald man won’t do anything good even if it means death!”
“Well then!” of course! Isn’t this just a slogan for the poor people? I have no intention of fighting either. “There isn’t even this much!”
“Tsk!”
Cheongmyeong, who was looking at everyone with dissatisfied eyes, abruptly turned his head.
‘Idiots.’
As soon as they hear that the civilians are in danger, their eyes change. He repeatedly told me to think about myself first, but it seems like his words were not being heard.
But…
‘Yes. ‘It has to be a volcano.’
This may be the meaning of what Hyeonjong said to the court. For a volcano to be a volcano, it must not refuse this request.
“all right.”
“oh!”
“song. go! “All we have to do is hurry up and evacuate people!”
“Yes, yes!”
“no way. really! “What’s going on…”
Before any more groans could come out of Cheongmyeong’s mouth, Hyeonjong shouted urgently.
“Hyeonyoung! phenomenon!”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
“Get all the disciples ready! We will depart directly for the Yangtze River. Keep this in mind. “If we get there a little faster, we can save at least one more person!”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
The atmosphere in the hall became heated.
So… it was decided that Hwasan would go to the Yangtze River.
