Episode 961 I said I won’t disappoint. (1)
“Guanpyeong!”
Namgungmyeong pushed energy into the Danjeon of the person who was losing consciousness.
“Hold on just a little longer… just a little longer!”
The condition of the injured is getting worse. The physical injuries suffered were serious, but the biggest problem was that they were losing their will to live.
Because I lost ‘hope’.
“The Lord Soga will definitely bring salvation. So hold on! “You just have to hold on a little longer!”
Namgung-myeong spoke evilly.
The energy of Dantian has already been exhausted. Sweat poured down my entire body as I forced myself to squeeze out a little more energy. But the situation in Guanpyeong only got worse.
“Why don’t you hold on! “You damn bastard!”
In the end, an angry cry came out of Namgungmyeong’s mouth.
He took his hand off Guan Ping’s dantian and grabbed him tightly by the collar.
“Didn’t you see it clearly with your own eyes? How did the matriarch go! “Why did the elders risk their lives!”
“….”
Gwanpyeong’s eyes, which had been relaxed, suddenly came back into focus.
“Are you going to make their deaths a dog’s death? They gave up their lives to save you! Then you should at least hold on, you bastards!”
Namgoongmyeong’s desperate cry was almost like a scream. The injured people, who were losing consciousness, and those who cared for them all bowed their heads and swallowed tears.
Guan Pyeong, who had been staring at the distant sky with unfocused eyes, moved with difficulty and reached Nam Gung-myeong.
“Lord…Lord…”
His dry, swollen lips opened softly.
“The cow…the head of the family…the cow…gives….”
“Yes!”
Nangongmyeong urgently grabbed Guanpyeong’s hand tightly.
“You will definitely come! You will definitely come back to find a solution! So hold on just a little longer! “Grit your teeth and hold on!”
It’s not like anything has clearly changed.
It was just that the lips, which had been weakly opened, were tightly closed. The condition is still not good and the situation is the same. But for Nam Gung-myeong, this small change was enough. Just because they don’t give up their will to live.
Namgungmyeong gritted his teeth and raised his head.
“…Don’t forget why the matriarch risked her life.”
Everyone’s eyes become bright.
“Those who witnessed his death with their own eyes, and those who use the name of Namgung whom he wanted to protect, should at least not die in shame! So, no matter what it takes, hold on tenaciously until Lord Soga returns!”
“yes!”
Namgungmyeong bit his lip and looked up at the sky. If I made eye contact with Gasol for no reason, I felt like tears would spill out.
Namgung, who lost the head of the family and elders, lost his focus. Namgungmyeong could not lead them alone. So the only place to lean on is Namgungdowi.
‘Sogaju…’
I know. The expectations placed on him, who is still young, are too high and harsh.
But that is the fate of the person who will become the head of the Namgung family.
‘Please, as quickly as possible….’
Namgung-myeong’s eyes turned to the vast land beyond the river. To the land where Namgung Dowi will stand.
* * *
Paaaaaa!
A ray of light cuts through the dense forest.
Soon after, dozens of beams of light split the ground.
“Huh!”
A rough breath escaped from Zhao Gai’s mouth.
For an elder of openness, who wouldn’t be like that? He was also confident in his abilities. But all he could do was follow those who were running now.
The beggars of openness who came with him have long since fallen behind and become invisible.
‘Oh my…’
Of course, the circumstances must be taken into account. Zhao Kai ran with all his might to Wuhan with Nangong Daoyu, exhausting all his stamina.
But….
‘Didn’t they also go back and forth between Oral and Wuhan countless times just today?’
But you can still run at this speed?
Zhao Gai’s eyes turn to the man in front of him. Baekcheon was running with the unconscious Namgung Dowi on his back.
Faaah!
Every time Baekcheon’s foot hit the ground hard, his body moved forward, but there was not even the slightest shaking in his upper body. They are trying to put as little pressure as possible on Namgoong Dowi, who is seriously injured.
“How are you feeling?”
“…Not good.”
When Baekcheon asked softly, Dang Soso, who was checking the condition of Namgung Dowi, answered softly.
“I lost too much blood.”
Tang Xiaoxiao bit his lip slightly.
Nangong Daowi suffered several serious wounds that required immediate rest. Dragging someone like that into battle? From a congressman’s perspective, this was crazy.
But…
‘I can’t do it.’
Although the party is a member of the National Assembly, it is also a military officer. Therefore, Namgung Dowi’s position was also understandable. People who are like family are waiting for death under the enemy’s blade, so you leave them alone and stop here to rest?
If you die, you’re dead. There’s no way that could happen.
‘But the condition…’
Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned to Nangong Daowi’s bloodless face. The pulse is very faint and irregular. So much so that it wouldn’t be strange if it stopped right away.
“Cough!”
At that time, Namgung Do-wi, who was clearly unconscious, vomited blood loudly. Tang Xiaoxiao was embarrassed and grabbed Bai Qian’s shoulder.
“Sasuk! It’s no longer possible…”
“Get out of the way.”
At that time, someone suddenly intervened and approached. When Tang Soso turned around, he saw Tang Gunak running next to him.
She nodded and left Nangong Daowi’s side.
“hmm.”
Tang Gunak’s expression hardened slightly after briefly examining Nam Gung Do Wei.
“Hwasan Sword Association.”
Cheongmyeong, who was running ahead with an indifferent expression, glanced back.
“The condition is very serious. At this rate, it wouldn’t be surprising if I died on the way.”
“….”
“What should we do?”
Cheongmyeong answered as if there was no need to think.
“A warrior on the battlefield…”
The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing his pure white teeth.
“If you can die on someone else’s back, that’s a luxury.”
Those were frighteningly cold words. But Tanggunak nodded as if he knew that would happen.
“It’s not an appropriate situation to use the party’s high-ranking altar. “Do you have any elixirs or elixirs you brought with you?”
Cheongmyeong’s head turns towards King Hyeonjong. Then Hyeonjong opened his mouth without delay.
“Hyeonyoung!”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
“Give me the Jasodan.”
“yes.”
Currently, there are only a few perilla plants remaining in the volcano. This is because exchange with Yunnan was cut off during the visitation, so materials could not be supplied.
That is why this self-report is extremely important. This is because they don’t know what will happen on the road they are running on now, and this one jasodan may be able to save one more of Hwasan’s disciples.
However, neither Hyeonjong, who gave the order nor Hyeonyoung, who received the order, showed any hesitation. Hyeonyeong took out the Jasodan from his pocket and presented it to Tanggunak without delay.
“hmm!”
Danggunak took the wooden box and immediately opened the lid. A refreshing scent passed his nose. Even at first glance, it was an unusual elixir. This is a valuable item that cannot be dismissed as a simple ostentatious item.
Tanggunak nodded and pushed the Jasodan into the mouth of Namgungdowi, who was riding on Baekcheon’s back.
After pointing at the acupoint and forcing him to swallow the elixir, he placed his hand on the back of Namgung Dowi, who was on his back, and began to breathe energy into it.
Managing your energy and taking care of yourself while running is easier said than done. It was clear that if he made even the slightest mistake, not only Namgung Dowi but even Tanggunak, who was attempting treatment, would be in danger.
But Tanggunak’s hand was bold.
Wooooow!
As time passed, thick beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Those around them looked at the scene seriously. It would not be an easy decision for someone heading to the battlefield to exhaust their internal strength to the point of sweating like this.
This probably means that Tanggunak is also pouring his heart out on Namgung Dowi.
How much further did it run?
“Huh…”
Finally, a breath came out of Tanggunak’s mouth all at once.
“…The dangerous moment has been passed. But… if you push yourself any further, even the spiritual training you gained will be useless. “Right now, it’s just a matter of finally connecting a thread that seemed to be broken.”
He said while looking at Cheongmyeong.
Although I said it differently, it means that if you push yourself any further, you cannot guarantee your life.
But Cheongmyeong didn’t even blink when he heard those words.
“Still, will you take me with you?”
When asked again, he chuckled.
“It’s obvious.”
“…I can’t stop you.”
Tanggunak shook his head.
But he also had the same thoughts as Cheongmyeong. As a member of the National Assembly, I tried to dissuade him out of courtesy, but it would be the same if he were in Namgung Dowi’s position.
‘Even if his limbs were cut off, he would still crawl to the Yangtze River.’
For warriors, sometimes there are things more important than life.
Tang Gunak’s gaze slowly turned to Baek Cheon.
Jang-mun, who without hesitation gives away his precious spiritual altar to someone who is not a disciple of Jamun, or Cheong-myeong, who drags someone who looks like he is about to die at any moment to the Yangtze River, are all amazing, but… ‘The most surprising thing is this.
‘
Baekcheon is running while carrying an injured and unconscious person. Maintaining this speed while carrying a person on your back is not an ordinary thing, but it was surprising that there was a sense of stability that was admirable while maintaining that speed.
This was even more so considering his young age. It possesses shockingly great power and delicate energy management at the same time.
If Baek-cheon had not carefully protected Nangung Do-wi, he would not have even dared to seek treatment in this situation.
Tanggunak looked around with new eyes.
Hwasan’s disciples, who ran with all their might with their eyes fixed on the front, felt tremendous pressure.
He had already seen Cheongmyeong’s growth with his own eyes. What he felt in Bimu was the conviction that Cheongmyeong had still not revealed everything to him.
But…
‘Rather, it may be they, not the Hwasan Sword Association, that should be paid attention to.’
Before we knew it, the distance between Hwasan and the Tang family began to widen. The party’s elites are having a hard time just following them.
Of course, light work is not a measure of martial arts, but it was still a meaningful sight.
Even while Tanggunak was thinking about so many things, Hwasan’s disciples, including Ohgeom, were just strengthening their will.
‘Faster.’
Paaaaat!
Baekcheon’s feet kicked the ground.
If they are late and Namgung is killed, all of this will be in vain.
‘I’ll never see that again.’
I don’t even want to think about negotiations or political situations anymore. What does that mean now?
Baekcheon just wanted to protect the earnestness of this warrior on his back.
If Hwasan had been in the same situation, Baekcheon would have been no different from Namgung Dowi.
‘do not worry. ‘I will definitely take you to the Yangtze River!’
Baekcheon gritted his teeth and roared.
“Pick up the pace! “You can’t be late!”
“yes!”
Paaaaaa!
The swordsmen of Hwasan, accompanied by Namgung Dowi, rushed forward with even greater spurs.
But… still, time passed mercilessly.
Finally, on the fifth day that Jang Il-so had mentioned, the sun began to rise over the Yangtze River.
