Episode 441 Could it be that nickname?
King Geumsan spoke in a calm manner.
“okay. You’ve gone bald. “What do you want to say?”
King Eunpyeong pointed his finger at King Geumsan.
“Even though my brother didn’t come to save me, he helped me because we had a meal together for a long time. When Hao Wen-ju arrives, he will either be dead or bald.”
King Eunpyeong looked around at the gathered masters and repeated.
“Did everyone know?”
The Fujian First Person narrowed his eyes and asked King Jinsan.
“What on earth is going on?”
King Geumsan played the game with a calm expression.
“As you can see, the priest is not normal. “It looks like something went wrong.”
The First Man of Fujian turned his head and glared at King Eunpyeong.
“Did you just say Hao Wen Ju?”
“exactly.”
“That’s strange. That’s a star name I’ve heard before somewhere. Is this your first time hearing this nickname? no. I heard you clearly. Haomunju Haomunju. uh? “Isn’t that the guy who was making a fuss with Sado Jeilin in Dongho?”
The apprentice said.
“He’s a man who even competed with the Demonic Cult.”
The Fujian First Man opened his eyes wide.
“Magic religion? Did you fight the Demon Cult? Who is this person? Is it white peach? Is it black? Hey, King Geumsan.”
The First Person of Fujian, who was looking at King Geumsan’s expression, stood up.
“Did you gather us because of Hao Wenju? “This bastard dares to take advantage of us.”
The Fujian First Man’s expression turned grim as if he was going to attack at any moment according to King Geumsan’s answer.
King Geumsan was about to say something, but everyone was looking outside the main gate.
A young man was walking.
Inferring from King Eunpyeong’s fuss, it was an atmosphere where an absolute expert should appear. However, the atmosphere of the young man is similar to that of a young man passing by, walking because he has nothing to do. He walked leisurely, without a weapon, with his arms hanging loosely.
Even King Eunpyeong bowed his head to such a man.
“Are you here?”
When the young man nodded, King Eunpyeong asked again.
“How did the noodles taste?”
“Roll it better than me.”
“Thank goodness.”
A young man who arrived at the entrance gave King Eunpyeong his arm and looked around at the people inside.
“There are a lot of experts? “Who is King Geumsan?”
King Eunpyeong responded by pointing ahead.
“At the head table.”
The young man spoke while rubbing King Eunpyeong’s bald head with the hand that was on his shoulder.
“You got it right.”
* * *
I said as I walked to the head of the table.
“Where did Geumsan King gather such coriander?”
I asked King Geumsan, who was not running away.
“Were you in a meeting? “I interrupted you.”
King Geumsan looked up at me from the corner of his eye.
“I see.”
I kicked the chair where King Geumsan was sitting and then spoke.
“Get out of the way. “It’s my place.”
After pondering for a moment, King Geumsan slowly stood up and looked toward the main hall. The entrance to the main hall was blocked as if King Eunpyeong was a subordinate of Hao Munju.
King Geumsan headed to the last seat and sat down in the empty seat.
I asked while rubbing my palms while taking the head seat.
“What meeting are you having? “What’s the agenda?”
A man on my left who looked like he had sharpened a sword asked me.
“Let’s reveal our identity first.”
I nodded.
“You must have heard. grow. Hao Wen Ju.”
The man who appeared to be the oldest here also asked a question.
“Hao Wenju, can you tell me what brought you here?”
“I came here while eating noodles. That’s not important. I’d like to hear what the meeting was about before that. Who will explain? “The reason I came here is important, but what we talked about here before that is also important.”
The man sitting near the main hall said.
“I say I am Wing Chun. Shall I explain?”
I held out my hand and gave him a chance to explain.
“let’s hear about it.”
Youngchunja pointed to King Geumsan.
“We visited at the invitation of King Geumsan. I, Youngchunja, find it difficult to find an opponent in Fujian. This is the apprentice of the Hebei Peng family. The old man here doesn’t know the real name of the Great King of Jiangsu. That person is the greatest sword of Taishan who has no rival in Shandong. “King Geumsan explained that we should gather these experts and form the Eastern Murim Alliance.”
“The Eastern Murim Alliance? “King Eunpyeong.”
“Yes, Lord Moon.”
“Is this true?”
“This is my first time hearing this.”
I asked the experts in the room.
“Why the Eastern Murim Alliance? The Murim League is still fine. It looks like Youngchunja has something else to say. Please tell me.”
Young Chun-ja, who had already raised her hand, said.
“King Geumsan said that Im Sobaek will soon retire and a new leader will take charge of the Murim Alliance. Before that, we also formed an eastern alliance and selected a leader from among the masters gathered like this. “Later, I heard that they wanted to launch a world alliance that united the east and the west by engaging in a non-military war with the western Murim alliance.”
“It’s grand. By the way, to what extent did you believe that, Youngchunja?”
“Do you mean to form an Eastern Alliance?”
“Whatever the purpose is. “It seems to me that he will be the leader.”
Youngchunja shook his head.
“no. He said he was satisfied with the overall military performance.”
“Do you believe that? At first, it might be an all-out military operation. If the act of making money goes too far, the leader will say something. I’m telling you to do it in moderation. Then wouldn’t it be possible for the leader to be assassinated? “In terms of power hierarchy, the general military may be the next leader.”
King Geumsan, who was sitting in the last seat, smiled slightly.
“Hao Wenzhou have you come to prevent the formation of the Eastern Alliance? “I heard that you are close to Lord Lim So-baek.”
“I didn’t even know it was being founded, so why stop it? “There is another reason why I came.”
“Tell me.”
I looked around at the drummer on the left and the drummer on the right, and then spoke to King Geumsan.
“The living socialist died in my hands. I heard many stories from Vice President Song Kyung. As you can see, King Eunpyeong also heard about King Geumsan’s business.”
King Geumsan raised his eyes and glared at King Eunpyeong.
“You…”
“It’s no use glaring. Well, there wasn’t much to it. It’s just business. However, when I listened to the stories of the two most powerful forces in Zhejiang and put them all together, I came to a strange conclusion.”
King Geumsan looked at me.
“What’s wrong with my business?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“There won’t be any.”
“The problem was more in the living society. Kill this guy and kill that guy too. They fought with Pyoguk and waged war with the upper tier. He even fights with black swords often and fights with white swords as well. They had all kinds of bloody orgies. Assassinations occur frequently. I didn’t hear it from the dead, living socialist, but I heard it in detail from Song Kyung. It is said that King Geumsan’s funds flowed in so secretly that they overflowed. then.”
I tapped the long table with my hand.
While the white frozen cold was advancing like a wave, he knocked on the table again, and the shattered cold was scattered on the faces of the experts on the left and right.
“….”
“Aren’t the countless blood orgies staged by the living society held with your own money? Did you think there was nothing you could do about me as a Zhejiang expert? They gathered the best of Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Fujian and waited for me. Eastern alliance? that’s right? “What does the governor of Hebei think?”
The apprentice answered in a cautious tone.
“The formation of the Eastern Alliance was sudden. But maybe he went ahead with his plan. I haven’t heard that there is a dispute with Munju. Ah, the only thing Young Chunja continued to suspect was something. “I asked if there was anything hidden.”
I nodded.
“How about the King?”
Taewang answered.
“I agree with you.”
“Taesan First Sword.”
Taishan First Sword looked at me.
“So, you came here thinking that King Geumsan was behind the fight with the living society?”
“No. First, look at that head while arguing with King Eunpyeong.”
As people looked at King Eunpyeong, King Eunpyeong stroked his head with one hand, as if he had gotten used to it.
I said.
“While coming to Zhejiang, I saw several things that were difficult to overlook. When I touched it, it reached the beach and King Eunpyeong’s troops chased after me and said something like Soyacha? Feng Shui? Eventually, an organization called Life Society appears. Now, I can see that King Geumsan’s wealth is enough to be worthy of a king. “Is it now King Geumsan’s turn to make excuses?”
King Geumsan looked around the audience and said.
“I didn’t know that Hao Wenjue’s power was this great. “I’m surprised that we gathered together a group of losers from a region and listened to them being admonished while giving them the head of the table.”
King Geumsan sneered.
“They seem to have come here believing that I am a supporter of the living society, but the atmosphere is such that even excuses don’t work.”
I listened to the story with my chin resting on my left hand and laughed.
“What a great tactician. In the midst of all this, I still want someone to challenge me. King Eunpyeong, as you said, your brother-in-law is very smart.”
King Eunpyeong nodded.
“Like I said, you’re smart.”
King Geumsan smiled slightly.
“Everyone, look at Hao Wen-ju at the head table. Do you think I can protect my property? “I think it would be better to use all my wealth to further my cause rather than have it all taken away by Hao Wen Zhou.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re treating me like a thief.”
King Geumsan looked at me.
“I know people like you well. Isn’t it going to be taken away in the end? In the name of cooperation, I don’t like this and I don’t like that. Haven’t you lived by killing and taking things? The same goes for you, who used black swords as your subordinates. “Isn’t Black Cat Bang also a member of Hao Mun?”
“right. “I know everything.”
“Heukseonbo, a member of Haomun, as well as black schools such as Namcheonryun and Nammyeonghoe, is a group known for cutting off fingers and engaging in usury, and you beat Boju to death and reaped the profits. Aren’t you the one who made Hao Wen rich by collecting all his assets? Moonju, what is the difference between you and me?”
I blinked.
“The investigation was strange. “Something is right, but everything is wrong.”
The First Man of Fujian glared at King Jinshan.
“You thoroughly investigated Hao Wen-ju, but you never said a word in front of us. amazing. amazing.”
King Geumsan said.
“Everyone, listen carefully. It looks like Moonju has come to rebuke me. It doesn’t matter. I swear right here. The Eastern Alliance is an organization that has not yet been formed. It’s a separate matter. I will admit that I was not as smooth as Hao Wen-ju in building my fortune. “Moonju.”
King Geumsan looked at me.
“Put your hand on your heart and think. Have you ever killed someone you shouldn’t have killed? Not even one? “Did you live like Lim Sobaek?”
For the first time in a long time, I was speechless. Did I live like Lim Sobaek? I don’t think so.
“….”
King Geumsan pointed to the masters.
“Even Taesan’s first sword, Taewang Youngchunja. I lived a better life than you. At least by my standards. If they form an Eastern Alliance, I will pour all my accumulated wealth into them. That’s better than having everything taken away by Moonju, who has lived a life that has nothing to do with me. I swear. please help me “The lord can criticize me, but I can’t bring you all down.”
King Geumsan sneered.
“Hao Wenju, the masters gathered here are not the black swords you beat to death. Did you know?”
I was filled with admiration from a pure heart.
Clap clap clap applause.
“King Geumsan is excellent.”
“Don’t be sarcastic.”
Suddenly King Geumsan raised his voice and shouted.
“Donglim-ah (銅林兒)!”
Someone answered from outside.
“Yes, death penalty.”
The giant who quickly appeared spoke to King Eunpyeong, who was blocking the entrance.
“Can I be put to death?”
The newly appeared giant was twice the size of King Eunpyeong. It was not a normal nickname because it meant a child of the forest made of copper. However, I found out that he was an expert in self-defense who had mastered self-defense to the extreme through his rare body type, voice, atmosphere, and prayer.
King Eunpyeong refused.
“Wait.”
“yes? “The ambassador is calling.”
I was curious about Geohan, so I told King Eunpyeong.
“Get out of the way.”
“yes.”
King Geumsan said while Donglimah was coming with footsteps echoing.
“What are you going to do if I’m in big trouble?”
Donglim-ah, with an impression of a mixture of naivety and intensity, answered.
“I swore to give my life to my brother.”
“Is that oath still valid?”
“That’s right.”
“I am now in the midst of a crisis of my life.”
Donglim-ah looked around at the people gathered in the main hall without any signs of nervousness.
“Who is threatening the death penalty?”
It seemed as if this man had no idea about Kangho and could not threaten him with his nickname or reputation.
Donglimah looked a little stupid, so I raised my hand first.
“grow.”
Donglim-ah looked at me and asked.
“Do you mind if I kill that person?”
King Geumsan shook his head.
“no. “Keep an eye on it.”
When King Eunpyeong opened his mouth to say something, King Geumsan pointed with his finger.
“You shut up. “I told you to shut up.”
King Eunpyeong immediately opened his mouth.
“You can’t do that. You must not attack the priest. “That’s a master you’ve never met.”
Donglimah answered.
“Still, you must follow the Grand Master’s orders. “We will keep an eye on it.”
King Geumsan spoke to the gathered masters.
“Let’s be honest. If I am harmed or my property is taken away, the Eastern Alliance will be in vain. Look at the head of the silver priest. They say I’m either dead or bald, but I’ve never been insulted like this before. “What will everyone do?”
The gathered experts all looked at me.
King Geumsan pointed at me.
“Hao Wenzhou who appears here is not a charlatan. Whether I investigate or you go back and investigate, his identity is the same. If I had to compare, I would be the man with the most similar personality to King Geumsan. There is Haomenju in the west, and I am in the east.”
To be honest, I was a little surprised by King Geumsan. It was so amazing that the noodles I had just eaten were completely digested. Since no one spoke, I raised my hand first.
Then King Geumsan kindly allowed me to speak.
“Tell me.”
I spoke calmly.
“The Eastern Alliance only has regional differences. “Is it an armed group like the current Murim League that protects the weak and punishes Sima Ma and the outsiders?”
“Of course you should. “That’s what Maeng’s role is.”
“Your wealth was used to create it?”
King Geumsan nodded.
“Rather than have all my wealth taken away by you, I would rather pour all my wealth into growing the Eastern Alliance.”
I nodded.
“good.”
“What do you mean it’s good?”
I straightened my back and spoke in a serious tone.
“I will become the leader of the Eastern Alliance.”
King Geumsan, whose eyes were getting bigger, shouted.
“Aren’t you from the west?”
I pointed to King Geumsan with my index finger and then wrapped around the flame.
“I am from the East. settled down. I listened to your story patiently. Now it’s my turn. If you are in the west, you are a westerner. If you are in the east, you are an easterner. “It’s because I don’t have a home.”
“….”
“I came to the east and already made a lot of bald friends. They fought here and there in Zhejiang and competed several times in the waters off Zhejiang, earning themselves a new nickname. By name.”
Inadvertently, I made eye contact with King Eunpyeong, and this guy raised his eyes and muttered.
“no way?”
“Invincible in the East.” grow.”
After injecting the ice ball into the middle finger again and pressing the fingers together, the sun and moon light spring created using the finger technique began to shine.
I dig it!
He spoke to King Geumsan.
“After I turn this safe house into dust, you will listen to me. I’ll just listen quietly. “I am now a man who can live as I please, whether in the East or the West.”
King Geumsan answered right away.
“I will listen.”
I withdrew my finger and continued speaking.
“That’s right. Donglim.”
“yes? yes.”
I spoke to Donglim-ah, who had simple eyes.
“You have a loyal side, so I’ll take a look. Please stand quietly next to King Geumsan. “I don’t know what your self-defense skills are, but if you die, King Geumsan will die too. Do you understand?”
Donglim-ah looked at King Geumsan and then made eye contact with me.
“All right.”
