Episode 988 I didn’t see anything. (3)
“Seal.”
“good.”
“The… seal.”
“Oh, go.”
“Dojo….”
“Mr. Ao!”
Cheongmyeong turned his body around and kicked Namgung Dowi.
bang!
“Oops!”
Namgung Dowi was hit by Cheongmyeong’s kick and rolled around.
“But this bastard! “Let’s see, shall we?”
Cheongmyeong glared at Nangong Dowi with his eyes glaring.
“hey! Are we easy? If you tell us to take it, should we take it? “The world’s Namgung family is asking you to join them, so why are the beggars of Cheonwoo-maeng refusing?”
Namgung Dowi was so scared that he jumped up.
“Dojo! “That’s not what I meant…!”
“or not? Or something! Did Jang Moon-in give permission? Did the Lord of the House give permission? Oh my! Isn’t that too? Now that you’re King Namgung, you’re a Hwasan Jangmun person and you’re a Tang family, so it’s no big deal?”
“My me?”
How dare I?
“Yes you! You bastard! “Are there any other Namgoongs here besides you?”
Namgung Dowi looked at Cheongmyeong with a face as if he had seen a ghost.
When has he ever experienced something like this in his life? As the head of the small household of the Namgung family, the existence of a person named Cheongmyeong was too harsh for him, who had always lived under expectations and admiration.
However, as always, Cheongmyeong did not care about other people’s positions.
“Who does this bastard think is a bigot? When things were going well, he went around talking about being the leader of the Five Dynasties and the loser of Anhui! What happens when you run out? One family? A family, wow? “I’ve never even eaten with you, so what kind of frozen family are you, you bastard!”
“It’s not like that. stamp! First, listen to what I have to say…”
“No need!”
Ogum watched this scene from a distance with a strange expression. As Namgung Se threw away all his dignity as the next head of the family and stared at Namgung Dowi, who was holding Cheongmyeong and hanging down, Jo Geol looked back at Baekcheon with a strange expression.
“That… Sasuk.”
“huh?”
“Was that guy like that?”
“….”
Baekcheon was about to say, ‘Do you understand?’ but his words trailed off.
What can I say… I think there was something very clean and cool about that dance competition…
Yoonjong scratched his head as if he didn’t understand.
“Why is he doing that?”
Baekcheon shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“Isn’t it inevitable for Nangung Sohyeop to somehow join the Cheonwoo Alliance?”
“Really?”
“okay. there is no other way.”
Baekcheon quietly looked at Namgung Dowi.
‘Now Anhui is too dangerous.’
Anhui, Zhejiang Province, borders the Yangtze River. Although it does not completely overlap with Surochae’s direct activity area, it is a place where Surochae can lead its fleet and attempt a landing whenever it wants.
And….
‘The poison must have reached the top of the water pipe now.’
Of course, Surochaeya Sagi was thrown to the ground, but it is highly likely that the Black Dragon King’s eyes were averted.
Why not?
Even if it was all Jang Il-so’s plan, the result was that Surochae was brutally defeated by Cheon Yu-maeng, and the Black Dragon King was also defeated by Qingming and lost an arm.
The Black Dragon King will try to vent his anger anywhere. And the current Namgung family is the perfect partner to vent that anger.
All of this began when the Namgung family attacked Surochae. And the Namgung family’s power is now less than a third of the remaining.
“Surochae attacked Namgung?”
When Yu Iseol spoke as if she had guessed it, Baekcheon nodded.
“Normally, the Namgung family would not be afraid even if Surochae attacks, but… the situation is not very good right now.”
Losing too much power on Maehwa Island was a problem, but a bigger problem was that they had completely lost touch with Gupailbang.
In this situation, even if Surochae attacks the Namgung family, will the old faction really try to help the Namgung family?
Baekcheon, who was continuing his thoughts, sneered coldly for a moment.
‘No, I don’t know. Even if they didn’t pretend, I don’t know if they would have helped Namgung…’
Baekcheon had also seen something, so he could no longer trust Gupailbang.
“The fact that Surochae was defeated is not a big problem in itself. The problem is that the Black Dragon King probably lost a lot of his control over Surochae due to this incident. “When an internal crisis arises, isn’t it the basis of strategy to attack the external enemy and control the internal one?”
“Yes, Sasuk.”
Yunjong nodded as if he understood.
“From Surochae’s perspective, it means that the Namgung family is the most easy prey right now.”
“okay.”
At that time, Jogeol opened her mouth.
“I’m sure it’s not just that.”
“huh?”
Baekcheon turns his head towards Jogeol. Jo Geol looked at Nangung Dowi with slightly bitter eyes, as if he knew something.
“In essence, Sega is a place that stands on strength. No matter how honest and innocent you try to be, problems of one kind or another are bound to arise.”
“…It means that past grudges may rear their head again.”
“yes. “In the first place, Gangho is not a place that just leaves the powerless alone.”
Tang Xiaoxiao also nodded with a bitter face.
“Sahyeong is right, Sasuk.”
“hmm.”
Baekcheon sighed softly.
‘okay. There is probably no sect that has felt that fact more keenly than Hwasan.’
You can understand this only by thinking about the time when the volcano lost its power due to the attack by the Demonic Cult. Could it be that those who tried to rob the volcano of all that was left had a special grudge against them?
‘no. Probably not.’
Gangho is a place where those who used to face smiling faces turn into robbers the moment a person with power loses it. If things continue like this, even if Surochae is quiet, the Namgung family will experience something similar to the volcanoes of the past.
“Since we can no longer be with the old faction, there is no faction that can help the Namgung family. The distance between the remaining five great families is too far… As you know, just because they belong to the five great families doesn’t mean they all get along well with each other.”
“Yes.”
“So… Namgung Small Cooperative is in need of a roof right now. “It is a roof where not only I, but the surviving family members of the Namgung family can rest.”
“Hmm.”
Yunjong nodded loudly as if he understood.
“But Sasuk.”
“why? Do you have any more questions?”
“…That’s not what I was curious about.”
“Then what?”
Yunjong said, looking at Namgung Dowi with a worried face.
“If you want to join the Cheonwoo Alliance, you can just talk to Jang Mun-in or the head of the party, so why bother doing that to Cheongmyeong? “You must have already seen that he can’t move from long sentences.”
“….”
Namgung Dowi was tirelessly clinging to the guy and being kicked and pushed away. Baekcheon looked at the sheep with a strange expression and said.
“…Your injuries are serious. “You must have poor judgment.”
“….”
It was something they could not understand at all.
* * *
Quite a number of people gathered around and sat down in Daejeon, where many bandits used to work frantically for accounting.
Namgung Do-wi, who was able to be here thanks to King Hyeonjong’s consideration, swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the faces of those gathered.
The weight is extraordinary.
If he had been Nangong Daowi in the past, he might not have felt so much pressure here. But now he had to desperately resist his body from collapsing.
Is it because the Namgung family feels shabby after losing Emperor Namgung and standing at a crossroads?
It’s not like that.
‘This is probably because their status is on a different level than it was back then.’
It doesn’t matter if you call me a snob. Because that’s true.
Those who haven’t experienced it probably won’t know. However, I can at least guarantee that anyone sitting here in the same position as Namgung Dowi would feel similar emotions.
Namgung Dowi glanced at Hyeonjong.
‘It’s the same with that person.’
When I first saw him, he was just a member of a nameless sect. Although he was placed at the head of the sect that participated in the secret martial arts competition, Hyeonjong was the one who, to put it bluntly, would not be surprised if he was kicked out of the head of the table at any time.
However, when they met again in the Yangtze River, he became a Jangmun of Daehwasan, who defeated even the shaman and became the core sect of Gangho, and now, as the leader of the Cheonwoomaeng, he has become a person who confidently stands up to the Shaolin court and Jang Il-so of the Sapaeryeon.
What’s strange about being nervous in front of someone like that? Rather, people who are not nervous are out of their minds.
‘It’s not just Jang Mun-in of King Hyeonjong.’
The same was true for Danggunak Danggaju, who sat next to him.
Of course, Tanggunak had a high status in the past.
But can we really compare the Tanggunak of a few years ago with the Tanggunak of today, which is Cheon Woo-maeng’s second-in-command?
That can never happen.
The power of the Five Great Families is best known to Nangong Daowi. The names of the five generations are listed side by side, but in the end, no matter how hard they tried, they could never be compared to the old group. That means that even Emperor Nangong could not dare to be on par with that Shaolin court.
But Cheonwoomaeng is different. Haven’t they already proven that they can occupy an equal position with the old group?
The disciples of Hwasan and the disciples of the Tang family who guard the left and right sides are also very contentious.
‘The problem is that this isn’t everything.’
Cheonwoomaeng’s potential still remains. Because they can summon the Nanman Beast Palace and the North Sea Ice Palace at any time.
This makes me realize once again how great Cheonwoomaeng is.
And decisively!
Namgung Dowi’s eyes turned to Cheongmyeong, who was showing signs of annoyance all over his face.
‘A young swordsman who defeated the Black Dragon King.’
You may not know it, but the moment this fact spreads throughout the gang, there will be a big uproar throughout the gang. No, perhaps the situation may have already been overturned due to the uproar.
Even today, Cheongmyeong was famous. Although there have been more than one person who has been called the world’s best reviewer, there is one reason why only Cheongmyeong has become particularly famous.
‘Because that person is never one to dwell on possibilities.’
In other words, it means that Cheongmyeong was someone who would later ascend to the position of the greatest person in the world.
Currently, there is no best person in the world in Gangho. No, not only now, but at most times, the best person in the world did not exist.
In the end, we have to compete to find out who is stronger. However, the top leaders of a sect cannot easily compete with anyone because there is so much at stake in their name.
This is because there is so much to lose if you lose.
Therefore, there are people who can be called the best people in the world, but it is difficult for an unwavering best person to exist. That’s why words such as the world’s three greatest swordsmen and the world’s five greatest thieves arose.
But it is not Cheongmyeong.
Cheongmyeong made it known at the martial arts competition that he would one day ascend to the position of the best person in the world, and his subsequent actions made him admit that that day was not that far away.
‘And even the Black Dragon King.’
Now everyone will realize it. It means that Cheon Woo-maeng will soon have the unwavering number one person in the world.
There is no one in Gangho who cannot understand what that means.
‘The order of power may really change.’
Right by the hand of Cheongmyeong!
Nangong Daowi clenched his fists. He is such a difficult person to follow, but I can’t help but follow him. Because the path that person walks is the path to the top.
‘So, it must be Cheonwoo-maeng….’
It was just when Namgung Do-wi was about to make up his mind again.
“Hehehehe. It’s nice to see you all again. Well, this is all thanks to me preparing the ship on time, but I won’t necessarily accept any thanks. It’s only natural for fellow geniuses to help each other… kek!”
Cheongmyeong’s fist suddenly landed on the jaw of Lim So-byeong, who was joking.
“This bastard just wanted to get away with it, so you’re scratching it again? Hey you bastard! Even if you came a little early, you could have taken everything from Jang Il-so! “I told you to quickly scrape your stomach, but you couldn’t even do one thing properly, so you’re late?”
As he thought about it, Cheongmyeong became so angry that he jumped on Lim So-byeong’s stomach and shook his fist. Lim So-byeong protested, desperately blocking the punches coming at his face.
“Oh no! Why is it my fault? “I did my best…!”
“Oh, you’re a Sapa bastard too, so you can’t watch the Sapa leader flying around? Are you saying this? Stop making excuses and die, you bastard! die!”
“No, I am the enemy of that bastard! Argh! driving me crazy!”
Cold sweat trickled down Nangong Daowi’s forehead.
‘What is this…?’
How could something like this happen in a gathering of so many people?
“Hmm.”
At that moment, Hyunjong cleared his throat softly.
Namgung Dowi looked back at Hyeonjong with a questioning look. Yes, of course that needs to be punished…
“Let’s start the meeting.”
“yes.”
“die! “Die, you bastard!”
“First of all, on to the first pending issue…”
Cheongmyeong criticizes Lim So-byeong and the others begin the discussion as if the scene is nothing.
Namgung Dowi, who was looking at the amazing scene in bewilderment, looked up at the ceiling.
‘Should I just ask them to join the Odaesae family again?’
It certainly didn’t seem like it would be easy to adapt.
ha ha ha….
