Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 280
280 times. The back wave of the Yangtze pushes out the front wave.
The meeting of the representatives of the factions ended without reaching any conclusions.
This is because there was nothing that could be done immediately with the current Cheonjimaeng power.
Representatives of the political faction left Tongcheongak one by one.
The musketeer Shingi Susa Jegal Seung-woon hurriedly approached Jang Moo-deok, a free apprentice who was ahead.
“Jang Dae-hyeop.”
“What is it?”
“I have a personal question. Do you have a minute?”
“It’s okay. tell me.”
Jegal Seung-un struggled to open his mouth when all the representatives of the faction disappeared.
“As the head of the household, I want to know what the disciples of the main family looked like in the end.”
“As I said, I was killed while fighting the Eighthwangsinmo… so I couldn’t see it.”
“Then tell me at least what happened while you were on the way. I only know what it looked like at the ceremony.”
Jang Mu-deok, who looked at Jegal Seung-un for a moment, nodded.
He seemed to know what he wanted.
For an instant, I felt a sense of sympathy.
It must be that she wants to have at least one more memory of her lost son.
“One day, I heard a story about the Cheonmyeong sword of the Sogaju family of Jegal family and the powerful sword of the Moyong family. There was marriage talk going on between the two families, right? How friendly the two of you were. Everyone in the present stage congratulated the two of them.”
“…”
Jegal Seung-un listened with a grim face.
As soon as he returned from Mt. Fungji, he planned to marry Jegalseong and Moyongmi.
After that, I tried to send them to Zhuge, but it was too late.
“The day I arrived in Diocese, the last time I saw two people whispering love under a flower tree. Your son looked very happy.”
Jang Moo-deok muttered to himself, “The road to the underworld must not have been lonely.”
“thank you. It was a great comfort. It must have been a great pain for Jang Dae-hyeop, but I feel ashamed that I thought too much of myself. Take a look.”
Jang Moo-deok nodded at Jegal Seung-un’s greeting.
It is true that it is a memory that I do not want to take out.
However, since he was the head of the Hyeonmudae, it was something he had to do for Daewon’s family.
After parting with Jegal Seung-un, Jang Moo-deok went straight to Mu Geuk-mun’s quarters.
He told the remaining Mugeukmun officials to go back and visit the gate first.
The few officials from Mugeukmun packed up and left in one day (about 20 minutes).
Moo-deok Jang, who was looking at the empty palace with an empty expression, headed for Uicheon-gak.
***
Uicheongak.
Uicheongak, the residence of the Namgung family, was like a temple, and was bustling with unexpected guests.
This is why the representatives of Bangpa, who sensed the crisis, flocked to seek advice from Namgoong-yeon.
They no longer believed in the insight of Jegal Seung-un, the musketeer.
As a result, he drove his children and family members to death, so it was understandable.
People openly called “the Yangtze River Hulangchu Warn” (Changjiang後浪推前浪 The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave).
The back wave was Namgung-yeon and the front wave was Jegal Seung-un.
So, leaving Jegal Seung-woon behind, Namgung-yeon rose.
However, Namgung-yeon did not meet the guests regardless of social status.
The only people who could freely meet her were her family and friends.
Still, people snooped around Uicheongak just in case.
Thanks to this, Uicheongak was crowded day and night with people who wanted to meet Namgung-yeon.
“It is noisy.”
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was sipping tea, threw his gaze out the window.
The outside was crowded with people just entering the yard, people leaving, and people hanging around outside the fence.
Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon raised his chin and said.
“I belatedly recognized the power of the Namgung family and did that. We don’t seal the door enough to get stabbed in the back of the head once. If you get hit by one, you have to return ten of them to be called Murim. isn’t it? Should I open it?”
Namgung-yeon only laughed at Namgung-cheon’s bravado.
In reality, it was the opposite.
If I had been hit by 10 famous bridges, would I have returned at least one?
Still, Namgungcheon’s face was moved by the spirited words of the rival.
“Brother, that kind of thing is similar to green forest. We also say that enemies should be eaten even to the bone.”
“Is that so? There are things that can be used in greenery too. But it is enemy.”
“yes?”
“How is the atmosphere in Sapa? This incident upset the political faction.”
“This one is similar. There is already talk of negotiating with famous churches.”
In fact, Sapa had no grudge against the famous religion.
That’s why there were many people who wished they could sneak out of the middle of the day.
“Negotiation? Will famous schools obey?”
“They have nothing to regret, right? Besides, my problem is at stake.”
“Your problem?”
“A famous school even put a bounty on my neck. Old Shim said that I couldn’t agree to the negotiations calmly because I was an eyesore to them.”
“I will do that too.”
Namgungcheon looked at Yeonjeokha with worried eyes. There is a saying, “When the hunt is over, the hound is eaten.”
What if Myung Kyo asked Pacheon Demon Army to choose between Sapa and Yeonjeokha?
Most likely, he will choose Sapa.
People will criticize him for a while, but they will soon forget.
That’s the way of the world.
However, it was a face that was nothing to do with the relationship.
Namgung-cheon, who was not able to see it, asked indirectly.
“Are there any countermeasures?”
“What measures?”
“What would you do if Pacheon Demon-kun tried to hand you over to a famous school?”
“Ah no way. How strong is that old man’s pride to do such a thing? Right sister?”
Namgungyeon did not immediately answer Yeonjeokha’s question.
It wasn’t a simple matter.
“Everyone has a point. Jeokhaya, we cannot rule out the possibility that Cheonjimaeng will negotiate with Yumyeonggyo in the future. Don’t trust only the demonic demon, and come up with a countermeasure.”
“Preparation?”
“Yeah, it’s like finding out about the weak point of Demon Lord, or letting him know that you’re the person he really needs. Thinking of it the other way around…”
Namgung-yeon blurted out.
The opposition would be so radical that he would not accept it.
“What do you mean thinking the other way around?”
“In Gangho, yesterday’s enemies can be tomorrow’s friends. Just like the Justice League joined hands with Green Forest.”
“ah!”
I understood what Namgung-yeon, who had a rivalry with, was trying to say.
Namgung-yeon explained in detail, in case he would take it differently.
“If Pacheon Demon-kun wants to abandon you, I think it’s okay for you to commit yourself to a famous school. A famous religious leader is never an ordinary person. Maybe I won’t be hostile to you. who knows Inside people.”
Namgungcheon, who was listening, shook his head.
“Yuna. that’s kinda No matter how much it is, to commit to a famous school that is fighting right now? Aren’t you going too far? They are the enemies of the Namgung family.”
“Brother. If Cheonjimaeng signs a peace treaty with the famous religion, we will no longer be hostile to the famous religion. Who do you think will be able to protect the enemy at that time? Are you going to tell your enemy, ‘You fight against the world alone’?”
“Grunt! That doesn’t even make sense.”
Namgungcheon scratched her head with a troubled face.
Until now, I had never imagined that ‘Chunjimaeng signs a peace agreement with the famous religion’.
But my younger brother is not one to talk nonsense.
‘Well, now that Namgung Sega can’t stop Cheon Ji-Meng from whatever he chooses, right?’
It may have been an excessive jump, but I didn’t think it was impossible.
In an instant, my heart sank.
Is it a world where the Chunjimaeng and famous religions that sacrifice monks coexist?
That is no different from the martial arts under heaven.
What would a world without Tao look like?
It was when Namgungcheon trembled once without realizing it. Outside the door, a disciple of the Namgung Family put a lot of strength on his neck and said.
“Lord Soga. Are you inside?”
“What is it?”
“The free apprentice elder came to visit.”
At the word “free apprenticeship,” Namgungcheon quickly got up from his seat and went out to the floor.
Indeed, Mu-deok Jang, a free apprentice, was standing in the yard with a long white beard.
Namgungcheon hurriedly called the town.
“The old man is on the road right now. Because you didn’t tell me where to go…”
“Heh heh. It’s okay. I’m not here to see your father. I heard that there are 10 empresses and seniors inside.”
“yes. The three of us are having a small talk.”
“Good. This old man would like to be in that position too, is that possible?”
“Oops! It’s possible. Rather, it is an honor for us. Come inside.”
Namgungcheon went to the end of the floor and greeted Jang Moo-deok.
There is a degree of not accepting outside guests.
It was disrespectful to refuse the visit of a grand master, such as a free apprentice.
Moo-deok Jang glanced at Namgungcheon, who was lively, and then went up to the floor.
Entering the room, Zhang Mu-deok was ushered to the table of honor.
When he sat down, Namgungcheon, Namgungyeon, and Yeonjeokha also sat down.
Everyone, including Namgungcheon, was known to the Cheonji League, so no introduction was necessary.
Jang Moo-deok, a free apprentice with white hair and white rice, was an elder master of the previous generation, and his prayers were extraordinary.
Naturally, he couldn’t open his mouth easily and waited for him to speak.
“I don’t know if I’m taking away a good time or not.”
Namgungcheon hurriedly waved his hand at Jang Moo-deok’s rather obvious empty words.
“Whew! no. What better time than to listen to the elders?”
“No, I came today with the intention of listening to you.”
“yes? You came to listen?”
Namgungcheon looked at Namgungyeon.
As expected, Moo-deok Jang also came to ask for advice from his younger brother.
Moo-deok Jang went to the main point while he was away.
“Actually, representatives of the Chilpaimun and the five generations gathered today to hold a countermeasure meeting.”
Zhang Moo-duk briefly summarized the contents of the meeting.
There was no special result anyway, so the story ended quickly.
“…The Musketeer said that the mother of the Eighthwangs remained in Mt. Pungji to become the King of Cheondu. But I don’t quite agree with that.”
Moo-deok Jang stopped talking and looked at Namgung-yeon and the two men.
Namgungyeon was constantly nodding his head incessantly, compared to Namgungyeon’s face, which was incomprehensible from start to finish.
‘What do you know about that…’
I wanted to ask the two young men, but I thought I’d get an unsatisfactory answer, so I continued.
“Anyway, I think I reached a mythical level when the mother of the Eighthwangs became the Demon King of Cheondu. To be honest, all of the top 10 masters dream of reaching a mythical state, but that is a difficult state to reach as a human being. Wouldn’t you know if it was a chance to become the King of Chundu or comparable to him? However, I agree that the Eighthwangsinmo didn’t do anything like that for the reason that she remained in Mt. Pungji. That’s why the musketeer and the others must have hardened their minds that way.”
Namgungcheon asked as if to confirm.
“So you want to know why the mother of the Eighthwangsinmo, the King of Heaven, remains in Mt. Pungji?”
“Yes. I guess there must be another important reason.”
“If that witch is already the King of Heaven, then that would be the case.”
Namgungcheon, who was shaking his head, glanced at Yeonjeokha and Namgungyeon.
It is the look in his eyes that says, ‘If you have any guesses, tell me something’.
Yeon Jeok-ha opened his mouth first.
“Somehow I think I know? It may be because I like Mt. Fengji and sit down. In fact, I also have a guest cup in Jeongju. What would it be like to be there? My body and mind are comfortable, so I don’t really want to go anywhere else.”
It was a word that came out of my own experience, but no one listened to him.
Jang Moo-deok even slightly squinted his eyes with a face that said, “I knew that.”
