Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 225
Episode 225. During the war, the longevity does not change.
Ha Nam.
Jeongju.
Chili Hachon.
Inns and ordinary people in Chiliha Village, where the Jeongju branch of the Justice League is located, enjoyed an unexpected boom.
The two inns were filled with elders of Chilpaimun from Nanjing.
Ordinary practitioners of Chilpaimun had to go into residents’ homes along with other military firefighters.
When the warlords gathered in midwinter, the people of Chiliha Village and nearby villages welcomed them with open arms. It was only natural that outsiders flocked here at a time when there was no work.
Unlike the villagers, who were rejuvenated after a long time, the faces of the Murim people were melancholy.
Zhengzhou branch.
The large meeting room was filled with representatives of the Chilpaimun and the five generations.
The meeting was rocky from the start.
Contrary to the usual solemn atmosphere, gossip came and went, and pointing with the finger was not uncommon.
Surprisingly, there was not much criticism for misjudging the true nature of the twelve horsemen. Rather, it was an atmosphere of reflection because everyone thought it was witchcraft.
People were angry that they were divided into four generations and even attacked.
In the case of Dang Se-ho, who was criticized for having an affair due to the reckless sale of poison, he openly criticized Jegal Seung-woon, the musketeer.
“Jegalgaju! If you have a mouth too, speak! The treacherous mother said something and scared me, and it is no different from the four generations of famous schools cut into pieces so that they can be eaten! No, since when did we notice the imperial family! Aside from everything else, leaking the route of the four units to the enemy! Can I handle things like that? Do you know how many swordsmen died because of the discussion between you and Geumuiwi? More than six hundred people died on the way to Zhengzhou! More than half died before the war even started! Who will be responsible for their deaths!”
The masters of Chillpai Gate did not dissuade Dang Se-ho.
Rather, he indirectly supported his opinion by remaining silent.
Mo Yong Hwang also added a word.
“The head of the party gave a cool talk. Let’s start by clearly pointing out where we are responsible. Answer who will be responsible for leaking the course of the Justice League?”
Jang Kang-ho, the master of the martial arts gate and the leader of the storm, kept his mouth shut.
I tried several times to argue for the musketeer, but it didn’t work.
In the case of the five generations, they have supported and followed the decisions made by Chilpaimun until now. However, this disaster broke that tacit custom.
When the leader was silent, Jegal Seung-woon, the musketeer, stepped forward.
“There is no excuse for the death of knights even if they have ten mouths. However, please know that our Jegal family is also a victim like you.”
“dog sound.”
Dang Se-ho was sneering.
In an instant, Jegal Seung-un’s eyes went into convulsions.
No one said such a thing to himself, who was the highest ranking member, at the official meeting of the Justice League.
However, no one is blaming Dang Se-ho.
The person who cursed at me was also annoying, but the disappointment at the people who were watching it was just as bad.
Jegal Seung-woon calmed down and answered calmly.
“First, let me tell you why we divided it into four groups. Please remember that the place where we gathered was Nanjing. Because it was the location of the imperial palace, I had to coordinate with the Golden Guard. You did not object because you fully understood that point.”
Then Paeng Man-ho refuted the Paeng-ga-ju Byeokgyeok-do.
“Honestly, I only followed because the musketeer asked me to do it. As the head of the Dang family said, since when did we start paying attention to the imperial family? Moreover, although we met in Nanjing, the place we were going to was Zhengzhou. Wouldn’t it be nice to leave Nanjing quickly? It doesn’t seem like an excuse to divide them into four groups.”
After that, Seonwusei and Hwanwoogum Seonwudam assisted.
“I don’t know why they divided it into four groups when it could be solved by leaving Nanjing. There was a rumor that the musketeer divided the Namgung family into four groups to feed them. Did you hear?”
Jegal Seung-woon looked at Seon-wu-dam with an absurd face.
“I don’t know why they suddenly associate me with the Namgung family. I’ve never heard of such a rumor either. Please refrain from speculation.”
However, Seonwudam did not back down.
“I am not talking about my speculation, but rumors circulating within the Justice League. If the musketeer didn’t hear it, there seems to be a problem with intelligence. I can’t believe I haven’t heard a story that even a person like me has heard.”
“If only I hadn’t heard those rumors, that would be it. Has anyone else ever heard such a grotesque sound?”
Jegal Seung-un looked around the warlords.
Contrary to expectations, Chilpaimun and the representatives of the five generations shook their heads.
Jegal Seung-woon was devastated for a moment in the astounding situation.
“No, I have a grudge against Crown Princess Namgung, so would I do something like that?”
Seonwoodam said coldly.
“These are not my words either, but rumors. It is said that it is because the head of the family of Jegal is to bring the Namgung family down completely, and it is also because he is jealous of Hwa-Yong Dok-Shim.”
“What kind of nonsense…”
Jegal Seung-un’s lips trembled.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I didn’t have that feeling at all.
However, the four generations were not divided only with such personal feelings. The conclusion reached during the meeting with the Gold Council was to divide it into four parts.
However, if you say that you made such a decision with the Gold Council, you will be criticized more.
We must push forward with baseless speculation.
“I swear I’ve never handled a job with such uneasy feelings. Would you have done things so hastily that the life and death of our Zhuge family depended on them?”
Then, Dang Se-ho, who had retreated for a while, came out again.
“joy! No, let’s assume it is. I want to turn it inside out like a pocket, but I can’t do that, so I have no choice. Then what about the responsibility for leaking the route? Are you going to pass it on as the fault of the Geumuiwi? Do you have any proof that the gold was leaked from the chair?”
“There is still no evidence that gold leaked from the stomach. But the people who were there were me and the commander of the Golden Guard. Since I didn’t spill it, wouldn’t it have flowed from the top of the gold?”
“Will the commander of the Golden Guard say he did it? It is obvious that he would say no, but then did the ghost overhear and spill it? Right! Listening to what the musketeer said, it was all done by ghosts. Cub.”
Finally, the curse came out.
Unable to see it, a long-time volcanic scholar, Mugeuk Merchant, stepped forward.
“No matter how angry you are, please refrain from cursing. This is not a party place. Please keep in mind that you are in front of Moorim’s seniors.”
Dang Se-ho did not dare to refute his point, a master of the 10th century.
Then Namgung Se-ho and Namgung Byeok, the Sword King of Gaju, spoke on behalf of Dang Se-ho.
“I am a person who watched the death of my family and disciples, can I easily control myself? Although it is a harsh expression, there is a point in his words. If it goes well, it’s my fault, and if it goes wrong, it’s everyone else’s fault? People in positions of responsibility shouldn’t do that.”
“…”
A bitter smile appeared on the merchant’s face.
In fact, he himself was offended by Dang Se-ho’s swearing, but did not think that his argument was wrong.
The heated debate paused for a moment.
It is because there is no one to intervene in the conversation of the ten masters.
Uicheon swordsman Lee Ui-jeong, who is also one of the ten greatest masters in the world, said a word.
“I would also like the old lady to clarify who is responsible. So many knights have died, can’t we just move on?”
The gaze of Uicheon Geomjon, the Supreme Master of Swords, naturally turned to Mu Sang Apprentice.
Mu-deok Jang, a free apprentice, was the last of the four great masters in the world to attend the meeting.
A shotgun ceremony flowed from the mouth of Jang Mu-deok, who was also the father of the leader.
I tried to stand on the side of the leader and musketeer as much as possible, but looking at the atmosphere, it seems wrong.
As Uicheon Geomzon said, too many people died.
“ha! I agree that the old lady must be held accountable. However, since ancient times, it has been said that ‘the general does not change during war’. It is said that you can choose again, but is there no one who can replace the musketeer?”
At his direct words, the representatives of the Chilpaimun and the Five Greats fell silent.
There are many people who can replace the leader.
However, there was no one to replace the musketeer, Jegal Seung-un.
It is acknowledged that pragmatic reading is wise, but entrusting the command to a young woman was a different matter.
People thought that it was too much for her to command such a big war.
There is no way that Jegal Seung-un, who has been worn out in the Justice League, cannot fail to sense such an atmosphere.
“There is nothing wrong with the Lord. Aware of my responsibility, I will step down from the position of musketeer and serve as a servant.”
Jegal Seung-un bowed his back to the warlords.
In the end, what is to come has come.
As the warlords were making a fuss, Master Mubeop, the leader of Shaolin Temple, said with a calm face.
“It is said that winning or losing is a case of illness [勝敗兵家之常事]. As Mu Sangdoje said, there shouldn’t be a change of general during the war. Zhuge Musketeer Don’t be hung up on one mistake and focus on finding a way to win the next battle. What kind of irresponsible words are you talking about in front of the enemy?”
Merchant Younggyeol, a long-time non-partisan leader, followed.
“I agree with the words of the master. Who in the world can take the place of Singishusa? It is said that reading with wisdom is wise, but at a young age, it is too early to handle such a task. At this point, let’s appoint Hwa-Yong-Dok-Shim as a staff member to help the musketeers. What do you think of Namgung’s wife’s words?”
Merchant Yeonggyeol naturally drew Namgung into the conversation.
“Thank you for treating my daughter in high regard, but as you said, I’m too old to handle it, so I’m refusing it.”
Namgung Byeok refused because he knew that his daughter did not like to appear in front of people.
This time, the volcanic faction’s long master, the Mugeuk Merchant, opened his mouth.
“We, the Volcano faction, are also against the resignation of the Musketeers. As the non-partisan Jang Moon-in said, there is no one who can replace Shingi-susa.”
Shaolin Wudang Volcano is the center of Chilpaimun.
When they opposed the resignation of Jegal Seung-un, the atmosphere turned around again.
Since there is no one who can replace Jegal Seung-woon, it may have been a predetermined result from the beginning.
After a light battle of words, Jegal Seung-un again stepped forward in front of the warlords.
“Since you guys give me another chance, I will work hard to renovate myself.”
The heads of the five generations frowned.
They said, ‘There is no other alternative, so we’re just waiting and seeing’.
At that time, Jiang Kang-ho, the thunderbolt, opened his mouth.
“I will take responsibility for this disaster and step down. I have to do the same, so the anger of the members of the Justice League will subside.”
Chilpamun and the heads of the Oh Daesei family silently agreed with his remarks.
In fact, Jang Kang-ho is not guilty.
However, in order to calm the anger of the military firefighters, someone must take responsibility.
In a way, it’s like ‘cover your eyes’, but it’s also a way that works surprisingly well.
Mugeuk Merchant was mentioned as the next leader.
There was no one to oppose him due to his martial arts reaching the 10th century and his age to be actively active.
The Mugeuk Merchant declined several times, but eventually accepted.
The meeting was resumed at the end of the unprecedented labor pain in the history of the Justice League, where even the leader was changed.
The first words of the Mugeuk Merchant who became the leader were ‘musketeers, can this war continue?’
In response to his straight-forward question, the representatives of Chilpai Moon all looked at Jegal Seung-woon.
“To be honest, this is impossible. There are 545 members of the Justice League gathered in Jeongju. The number of famous schools that have returned to Luoyang has increased and is now approaching 700.”
“her!”
“Oh no!”
“How!”
Sighs flowed from the mouths of the heads of the Chilpaimun and the five families.
After a while, Tangma Pyeonun, a leader of the communal faction, said with an angry face.
“You mean we want to go back like this? Carrying the corpses of the disciples?”
It’s time for Jegal Seung-woon to say something.
This time, Merchant Mujong, a long-time leader of the advance party, was angry.
“Is it impossible with just one hundred and ten people? On what basis do you say that!”
So far, the Justice League has always won outnumbered fights.
It was possible because the Chilpaimun and the Five Greats were so elite.
But now, Jegal Seung-un has poured cold water on that belief.
Jegal Seung-woon looked at Pyun-woon with a confused expression.
The advancing wave was on the run and suffered no damage from this raid.
It is like a person who has not experienced famous bridges and has not yet shaken off the films of the past.
“The number of those who raided the Myolsadae and Cheonchudae did not exceed three hundred. This means that the numbers are almost equal. There are numerous testimonies that there were more allies. We lost that battle. Do you think we need more grounds?”
The Mujong merchant only groaned and did not refute.
Geumhwa Seon-in, the judge of life and death, a long-time fortune teller who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.
“The musketeer clearly said that this is impossible. If so, how is it possible?”
