Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 900
900 times. How do you think I am?
early september.
Finally, the Nan Meng returned to Hefei.
Returning to Hefei, the Nan Meng advertised extensively that they had won the war against the Demonic Cao.
As a result, the visits of the munpa who wished to join the Nammaeng made it a success.
Not only Namjikryeseong, but also neighboring Hanam and Hogwangseong munpa came to visit.
As the Nam Maeng had hoped, they had taken the first step in the suzerainty of Murim.
Anyone can see that it was a great success, but the atmosphere of the Southern League leadership was dark.
Confederate conference room.
The leaders of the Southern Alliance gathered in the spacious hall, but everyone’s expressions were not good.
Sword King Namgung Byeok, the leader of the Southern Alliance, turned his gaze to the musketeer.
I sent a person to Seokgyeongjang for the Moorim Contest on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there was no word after that.
“Was it yesterday that I sent an envoy to Seokgyeongjang? What did Namcheon say?”
Mo Yong-mun, the commander of the Southern League, answered cautiously.
“He said he had no intention of visiting the South.”
“It’s not because you have other urgent matters, and you have no intention of visiting?”
“Yes, I clearly said so. Why don’t you go and visit the stone sutras? If the leader moves, Namcheon Daehyeop will change its mind.”
“Are you asking me, a father-in-law, to visit my son-in-law first?”
“If it is known that Namcheon Daehyeop is keeping its distance from the Southern Alliance… the morale of the Southern Alliance will fall to the ground. Please think of the people who looked at each other between Hocheonmaeng and Nammaeng.”
Mo Yong-wen was also grinding his teeth at Nam-cheon, but now his participation was desperately needed.
“This is the person who went to the Seokgyeongjang without looking at my face. Will you change your mind just because I’m looking for you?”
In fact, this is why Namgung Byeok endured, talking about his son-in-law and father-in-law.
After becoming a non-partisan secular disciple, the relationship has changed.
Would you say that the stubborn person has changed into a non-negotiable person?
“Didn’t Liu Bei make every effort to win Zhuge Liang? Considering the existence of the Namcheon Daehyeop, we have to somehow bring it into the South.”
“Because who doesn’t know that. That’s because Namcheon hates it when it comes to the Nammaeng.”
At those words, Mo Yongwen also kept his mouth shut.
Namcheon is an eccentric person who doesn’t try to get close to anyone unless it goes against his will.
It’s good if you don’t try to get close.
Even the musketeer of the Southern League was beaten for disagreeing with him.
“A disturbing rumor is circulating in the Southern Alliance about what happened last time.”
“A disturbing rumor?”
“Didn’t the Namcheon Daehyeop family leave the Namgung family even before we returned to Nammaeng? The story that the Namcheon Daehyeop broke up with the Nammaeng is coming out from within the Nammaeng. At a time like this, if Namcheon Daehyeop did not even participate in the Moorim Convention, everyone would believe the rumor.”
“I’ll have to somehow get them to attend the Moorim Convention.”
“That’s right. And this is an aside, did Seokgyeongjang join the Southern Alliance?”
“You didn’t sign up.”
“Then, please make the Seokgyeongjang also sign up at this time.”
“Tsk! In the end, you are telling me to go to the Seokgyeongjang.”
“That’s right. The only person who can untie the tangled knot between the Namcheon Daehyeop and the Southern Alliance is Lord Maeng.”
“Okay. don’t do that.”
Namgung Byeok reluctantly agreed.
Although the Demonic Cult has disappeared, there is still a long way to go until the peace of the world.
Namgung Byeok, who suddenly remembered the famous religious leader and Yi Seon Cheon, asked the musketeer.
“What about the famous church?”
“It’s so quiet that it’s hard to believe that it’s a force that has taken control of the imperial palace. It is possible to use the government to apply pressure, but there is no sign of that.”
“No movement?”
“Yes, only shrines everywhere are busy, but the imperial palace is quiet.”
Namgung Byeok nodded.
If so, that means you still have time, so you don’t have to rush.
Byeokgyeokdo Paeng Man-ho, the head of Paengga and recently appointed as the general law of the Southern Alliance, intervened.
“Unlike other regions, the famous people in Northern Jirisong are living as if they were dead.”
Namgung Byeok glanced at Paengman Lake.
It is not wrong to see Paengani, which is located in Bukjiryeseong.
“I’ll hold my breath and watch, surprised by Namcheon’s appearance. Because they will know that they are next to the Demonic Cult.”
“Hum, let me tell you in advance that this is not to disparage Namcheon’s inaction. The Heavenly Alien is a being that even the head of the Demonic Cult sees from below. Do you think, Lord, that Namcheon will defeat the Heavenly and Outer Yiseon?”
“I will win as long as nothing happens.”
Namgung Byeok replied without hesitation.
It was an easy question for him, who already knew the relationship between Yeon Jeok-ha and Yi Seon.
“ha! If that’s the case, I’ll have to bring Namcheon all the more to our side.”
A groan escaped from Pang Man-ho’s mouth.
This is because if Yeon Jeok-ha is not a member of the Southern Alliance, the position of the suzerain of Murim will be farther away from the Southern Alliance.
The flow of conversation that went to Yumyeonggyo came back to Namcheon.
Then, as if promised, the gazes of the leaders of the Southern League all headed toward the southern palace wall.
He seems to want you to go to Seokgyeongjang as soon as possible.
Namgung Byeok, who sighed inwardly at the wordless demand, turned his head to the musketeer.
“If there’s nothing more to discuss, I’ll get up first.”
“Are you going to the Seokgyeongjang?”
As expected, the name of Seokgyeongjang immediately came out of the mouth of the musketeer.
Namgung Byeok replied with a bitter smile.
“Isn’t it difficult for everyone to float on their backs like this? I will go right away.”
“You did well.”
“Please clear up the misunderstanding about the Southern Alliance.”
“My lord. We need the cooperation of Namcheon Daehyeop to deal with the famous religion. I scold you for being your younger brother, but please drink it, calm down and bring it to me.”
Oh Dae-se, the leader of the Southern League, said one word at a time.
Namgung Byeok left the conference room amidst the tumultuous send-off of the leadership.
That afternoon, Namgung Byeok left the gate with his son Cheongwoon Sword, Namgungcheon, with whom he had a good affinity.
***
Hapbi.
Yeo Kang-hyeon, Wonjia Mountain.
Namgung Byeok, who had been running shoulder to shoulder with his son like a gale, stopped at the ridge.
Namgungcheon, who passed by his father, returned with a puzzled face.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing. I did it because I wanted to organize my thoughts for a while.”
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on Namgungcheon’s face.
It seems that his father, who is praised as the Sword King, is not comfortable meeting with Yeonjeokha.
I couldn’t believe it.
He went and stood next to his father in silence.
A small manor at the bottom of the mountain caught my eye.
It is a stone gyeongjang.
When I saw the stone sutras, my heart was complicated.
He himself, who is watching from the side, is like this, but the feelings of his father, who is the party involved, are so sad.
“Cheon-ah.”
“yes?”
“Do you think the musketeer and I did something wrong?”
“At first I thought so… but now, to be honest, I’m not sure.”
“How do you think I am?”
“Father?”
“I am asking what you think.”
Namgungcheon did not know why his father asked such a question, but he asked meekly.
“What do you think of Iver?”
“I think it was wrong. Wanting Hocheonmaeng’s death for the safety of the Nammaeng? It’s not right.”
“…”
Namgungcheon’s head was complicated, but he didn’t say anything.
At this moment, he was envious of his younger brother’s outstanding hair.
“Me and the Wu Geuk Merchant (Hocheon Meng Maengju) know what the other person wants. In the war against the Demonic Cult, Hocheonmaeng tried to gain honor and Nammaeng tried to gain profit. And it turned out as I wished.”
“Yes….”
“Should I have stopped the strong will to die for honor? Even giving up the future of the South?”
“…”
Namgungcheon was unable to say anything because it was beyond her understanding.
“Mugeuk Merchant and I compromised with reality. No, that’s the reality we live in. People cannot live with ideals alone. The same goes for the Southern Alliance. If we pursue our ideals, the Southern Alliance will not last even thirty years.”
“yes.”
That was something that Namgoongchun also agreed with.
That is why he did not rebel against the cruel decision made by his father and the musketeers.
“The enemy is an idealist. They don’t accept reality or try to compromise. But people aren’t perfect. When Jeok Ha also loses his temper, he behaves the same way as the Sijeong Jabbae, just as he beat Mo Yong-mun in front of everyone. It could be said that he compromised with reality in his own way. That is why he is criticizing me and the actions of the Musketeers.”
It was only then that Namgungcheon knew what his father was trying to say.
“Are you saying fifty steps and one hundred steps?”
“Accurate.”
“But he punched in the face of injustice, and the Musketeers drove Dong-do to death, didn’t he?”
Namgungcheon still did not mention his father’s name, saying that he was a family member.
“Hum! The process is different, but the result is the same.”
Namgungcheon kept his mouth shut when his father was embarrassed.
It’s because I don’t want to accuse my father, who confesses his stuffy feelings after a long time.
“Let’s go.”
After complaining in front of his son, Namgung Byeok ran again like the wind.
***
Seokgyeongjang.
Audience.
With the cool tea in between, the four of them were silent.
Namgungcheon, who could not stand the awkward atmosphere by nature, spoke first.
“How have you been? As soon as I came back from Wuhan, I went to Cheonransochuk and was surprised. I thought I was going to say hello, but was there anything urgent?”
Yeon Jeok-ha replied with a grave face.
“No. I just came out quickly because I didn’t want to get entangled with the Nammaeng or the Namgung family.”
At his provocative words, Namgungcheon hurriedly changed the topic.
“That’s right. Anyway, rumors that the Southern Alliance defeated the Demonic Cult made a lot of noise. There are so many visitors that the threshold of the Southern Alliance is worn out.”
“congratulations. Uncle. You have succeeded as much as you hoped.”
Originally, he said something that he did not know whether it was a mockery or a blessing to Namgung Byeok.
Namgung Byeok, who was savoring the tea, smiled.
I feel like I’ve welcomed a great guy as my son-in-law.
Although he cherishes his daughter as if he were his life, he doesn’t care about his face as a father-in-law.
Thinking that far, Namgung Byeok secretly turned his gaze to Namgung Yeon.
Married women feel sorry for their husbands if they don’t respect their parents.
However, Namgoongyeon remained expressionless as if she had returned to her childhood.
She was so familiar with her daughter that she didn’t feel betrayed.
Namgung Byeok realized that he had to deal with the best son-in-law of all time – who did not know where he would bounce.
“Don’t believe it’s true.”
“I can’t lie. You know.”
Namgung Byeok, who had been watching the brazen enemy enemy, put down his teacup and said.
“I want you to come to the Moulin Festival of the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
“I said I wouldn’t go to the Southern Alliance anymore. Haven’t you heard about it yet?”
“As a rumor that you left the Southern Alliance…”
“Uncle. Did Shigyeongjang ever join the Southern Alliance? I haven’t even signed up, so how do I get out?”
When the expected answer came out, Namgung Byeok pushed hard.
“Didn’t you act together with the South? As the son-in-law of the Namgung Family, you are, of course, a member of the Southern Alliance.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha flinched at the word ‘son-in-law of Namgung family’, Namgung-yeon stepped forward.
“father. The enemy only helped with a pure heart. I believe that you will distinguish between public and private affairs, and I will not explain further. Seokgyeongjang never joined the Southern League. I will not join again.”
“Yeona…”
Namgungbyeok looked at his daughter with devastated eyes.
Still, since she was a daughter, I expected her to take her side, but somehow she was more so than her son-in-law.
