What is heard in the quiet room is a small incomprehensible noise.
The subtle sound that tickles the ears is annoying, but
it doesn’t cross the line enough to point out.
was in that awkward position.
Namgungjin closed his eyes, listening to the tickling noise.
Normally, I would have pointed it out with the feeling that I didn’t like it, but now it
was a waste of time.
In my heart, I had to review the movements I quickly realized.
What to do with the wrists, how much strength to give to the waist, and at the same time,
where to point the toes.
By the time the terms and conditions were over, I was bringing out the basic things I had erased from my head again
.
You have to erase all of that and overwrite it with the newly obtained one. It would probably
take a very long time.
Namgung-jin, who was concentrating on his thoughts, woke up when he heard the sound of a chair being pulled in front of him
. It was
because he was so focused that he didn’t notice the people approaching right in front of him
.
“I heard you’ve been busy lately.”
“It’s a well-resolved part.”
Sitting in front of him is a skinny old man, Goo Seonmun, Gu Chang-joon.
He was an elder of the Gu family in Shanxi, and was an old man called Fire B 絶劍 by special title
.
“I am really surprised. That the head of the household was looking for an old man like me.”
“I came here because I was worried about a conversation I couldn’t finish last time.”
“Oh… I’m going to welcome you both with raised hands.”
The old man said that and smiled.
‘An old man like a snake.’
It is a cool sensation that resonates with intuition.
Namgung-jin felt that he was the one who didn’t fit in with the Gu family the most.
Ho-hyeop, the head of the household, has a dirty personality, but he did not engage in behind-the-scenes work.
If it had to be broken, it was broken. I hit him head on, but he wasn’t looking for another way
.
It seems like a lot has changed now, but since the dirty personality is the same,
nothing really has changed.
‘I mean, even gave birth to a son just like her.’
Gu Cheol-woon’s son not only looked exactly like his father, but also
had a personality that matched him.
You can’t call this a jerk, but that’s all.
In any case, not only Gu Cheol-un, but also Gu Yang-cheon was a person who got along well with the Gu family
.
Not only did he have a fiery temper, but he also had monstrous talents.
The more he thought about it, the more Namgung-jin felt sick to his stomach.
This is because the children born to Gu Cheol-woon all have bizarre talents.
Not to mention Geombon, who is currently known as the first post ■.
According to rumors, the second girl also had an outstanding level.
Little is known about the fourth child, but I heard that he belonged to the Volcanic Sect,
so it must not be of a low level.
and Guyangcheon.
It was at a level that Namgung-jin could not explain.
It is too high to be called a talent.
In the history of midfield, the martial artist who crossed the wall at the age of Gu Yang-chun will be counted on one hand. Even his own grandfather and the first male palace, Cheonjon (天尊)
, said that he was the age of his son, Namgung Tianjun,
when he reached his climax .
‘Does he also belong there?’
A secret group created as a member of the Moorim League.
Namgung-jin’s grandfather called the place Yuseong.
‘He pretended not to end his old fortune.’
I said I wouldn’t be involved with such a place, but in reality, the line was already connected.
How did he do it? It’s information that he couldn’t find out even with his own breath.
Was there already an agreement with the opening? Considering that
the rumors about Guyangcheon were all wrong, there was a high possibility.
‘It’s the same with the ban.’
Namgungjin thought as he felt the restraint tied to his body.
This is similar to what was mainly used in the Moorim League.
Although the method used was inefficient and closer to a contract than a ban.
It was clear that he was using all of the frames used by Meng.
Even with the rough method,
I could intuit that the effect was strong or not easy to solve.
Namgung-jin thought that
if he went back to Sega to see his grandfather, he would have to learn more about Yuseong .
“Last time I heard.”
Iljangro heard the story first.
“I heard that you scheduled your engagement ceremony on a good day.”
“It was resolved well in a friendly atmosphere.”
Compared to the previous meeting with Cheol-woon Koo, the atmosphere was definitely more friendly.
“This is the surprising part. I never dreamed of
getting engaged to Yangchun in the Namgung family,
but…” Our Yangchun.
To Namgung-jin, it was somewhat cold-hearted compared to the friendly title.
Hearing that, Namgoongjin says.
“Elder Lee of the Gu family said he used some strength. It was the first time I had ever seen such a good response
from our elders .”
“ ”
Elder Lee’s expression changed slightly when he brought up Elder Lee.
It quickly returned to normal, but the reaction
was enough for Namgung-jin to understand.
It seems that Segawa’s engagement is not very welcome.
My relationship with this elder doesn’t seem to be very good either.
Namgoongjin took a sip of tea and organized his thoughts.
“As you said, there was a little accident.”
“I heard. He said he used a pitiful false name.”
“That’s right. The situation is very pitiful.”
Originally, even when Namgung-jin had his first conversation with the elder Il, he had other thoughts, and he
thought
that if his thoughts matched well with him, he might be able to attract them to his side .
Judging from her feelings about the Namgung family incident, it seemed unlikely.
If it was the elder Iljango who was trying to hold onto his feet.
It was as if the kite had already been cut off.
Quitting is enough for the heart attack. There is no need to be risky and risky
.
Even so, Namgung-jin did not change his expression.
“Is there anything you wish for?”
” house owner?”
Iljang-ro asked Namgung-jin’s words as if he was taken aback.
Rather, I have a feeling that I didn’t know that I would bring these words out from this side.
The expression he hides and the movements he takes care of are skillful, but
the ambition that flows through them is shady.
It wasn’t something that could be hidden.
It was strange to Namgung-jin that he had such a person quietly by his side.
If it was the old Cheol-un, it would have been burned long ago.
‘This is none of my business.’
No matter what he was thinking, it was meaningless.
– You just have to pretend to adjust properly.
Recall what Yangchen Gu said.
What is the intention, is it to urge vigilance, or
is it to confirm Namgung-jin’s prohibition?
It’s useless.
I don’t have enough time to think about that right now.
Namgoongjin smiled and said to the elder.
“We don’t know if the path we want to go may be the same.”
At Namgung-jin’s words, Iljang-ro saw a slight light in his eyes.
A day has passed since I gave Namgoong-jin the sword.
“I heard that the two of them talked again this time.”
“Where do you keep getting that kind of information from?”
After the training, Elder Lee came to visit me while I was chatting with Wi Seol-ah.
While Wi Seol-ah was diligently wiping the sweat with a towel, Elder Lee
appeared with a sullen face and continued.
“It looks like it’s related to something.”
“is that so?”
“Bocchan, you’re sweaty!”
“…would you mind wiping it off for a bit?”
Feeling the rough touch of the towel coming in, I restrained Wi Seol-ah.
He rubbed so hard that the skin on his face felt like it was going to peel off.
Of course, there was also a lot of sweat.
I thought there would be no reason to sweat from the time the deep hole reached the castle.
[It means you’re not that familiar with it, so try harder.]
‘Yeah…. I’ll have to work hard.’
Still, the practice of condensing the bet and moving delicately was difficult.
Making the unfamiliar familiar was the most difficult thing as a military officer,
but on the contrary, it was the most exciting thing.
Because it was a stepping stone for growth while experiencing new things.
‘I wonder if Namgung-jin wants to go because of this feeling?’
I just wanted to understand a little bit. Leaving my heart behind, Elder Lee
exclaims in a fit of rage.
“is that so. Lani you bastard!”
“If we met anyway, what would I have to do? I should just do it.”
…
_
..
I was about to tell Elder Lee about my affair with Namgung-jin, but the less I said it, the better
.
When I reacted indifferently, Elder Lee suddenly tried to hit Kkulbam, so I moved and
avoided it.
“Oh, I can dodge it now… oops!”
I barely avoided it, but I couldn’t bear to dodge the second blow and went bang! He sat down with a sound
.
…I really thought my head was cracking.
“The old woman is dying of worry like this, but the grandson! “
Why am I holding Elder Lee’s hand…!”
To be precise, it would have been connected by blood, but not to that extent.
“Look at this ungrateful guy after I raised him by cleaning up his poop!”
In order to hit the honey night again, Wiseol-ah was put forward.
“huh?
99
Then this elder pauses. No matter how much it was, there would be nothing to do with the sword master’s granddaughter
.
“Stop beating me, and what happened to the last time you went to Crown Princess Namgung?”
He is talking about the last time he had a conversation and suddenly disappeared
saying that he had to meet the elder of the Namgung family.
It’s only been a few days, and this elder is here.
I don’t think I’ll have time to go back and forth.
At the mention of that, Elder Lee’s face instantly changed to trembling.
“…Don’t ask me, but I’m on my way after being scolded by the family head.”
“Elder, are you getting scolded by my father?”
“Be quiet… why did you get caught? It moved secretly so that it wouldn’t be discovered, but
Yangchun probably didn’t tell you, right?”
He started looking at me with suspicious eyes.
Hey, I don’t have any teeth.
Do you think it would make sense to go and come back secretly with that distracting size?
“Look at the size of the elder….
“Look at this guy, when he was young, the old woman made a bet with the dark king through stealth.”
“Yes, yes you would.”
“Has Grandpa Ryoon grown up again?”
When Wi Seol-ah asked innocently, Elder Lee smiled and said,
“No… the old man is not tall enough.”
“No, but I think it got bigger.”
“Is it a compliment?”
“yes ! Big is great!”
“…Yes, thank you.”
In the end, the elder Lee smiles shyly at the clearness of the year of Yu Seol-ah. No matter how much it was
, there was no such thing
as bragging about being a master of stealth and being the king of assassins .
“Anyway, seeing as the old men of Namgung keep quiet about this work,
it seems like there’s a bit of a problem.”
Of course, I thought it would not work, but this elder
thought it was strange that it did not work.
No matter how muscular this elder may be, he
is more rational than you think.
When I judged like that, it meant that there was something else.
“And I heard that there was a problem with the sword king, was that okay?”
“Did you know that?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Sega has a lot of eyes and ears for old people.”
“It’s pretty good.”
What I thought was the most problematic was the life and death of the attendants.
I heard that there will be some scars on the face, but it can be made without affecting life.
It’s not anyone’s word, but it’s a word of faith, so you can trust it.
He was not conscious yet, but he thought of going to see him, saying that he would come to his senses later
.
Even in that gap, the elder Lee continued with a voice that seemed to dislike me.
“If Yangchun is such a lukewarm reaction from you, Nobu will take care of it.”
“If you just stay still, I won’t… I understand.”
Why does this old man keep raising his fist…
I felt like I had to get stronger quickly in order not to get hit by that.
As I half-playfully curled my neck, Elder Lee sighed and
brought up another story.
“And they said they would attend the Yongbong branch. Is that right?”
“Did you hear from the head of the household?”
“okay.”
“I guess so.”
“When are you going to start?”
“I’m thinking of going a little earlier, so I’m thinking of leaving after seven days and nights.”
The Yongbong Branch meeting is held at the end of the year, so if you start around that time, you should be able to arrive a little early
.
“You’re going to go much earlier than expected.”
“It’s better than being late.”
At first, it felt like I was being pushed to attend because of Dang So-yeol’s request and my father’s permission
.
Considering Shin Noya’s wish and the value of Yongbong Branch to some extent,
it was necessary.
And there were people I wanted to see personally.
Perhaps this time around, I wondered if I would attend the Yongbong branch meeting.
Elder Lee looked at my face and said with a raised corner of his mouth.
“Looking at his expression, it seems he doesn’t intend to stay still.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Okay, once you’ve reached that level, you’ll have to rampage.”
Elder Lee doesn’t pay attention to my pretentiousness and continues his speech as if he was already convinced
.
…Anyway, he’s more like a fox than he looks.
As Elder Lee said, I had the intention of going to the Yongfong branch and doing something, but
I did not intend to go wild.
Thinking about the future, there was only a need to let the name known to some extent
. Although
it would be a little easier if you revealed about the reputation or name value of what you have done so far
.
It would be a pain in the ass if it was tied more closely with the Dark Night Palace.
The most comfortable and easiest way was probably Yongbong Branch. Because it’s a place where even small things are greatly inflated
.
For example,
there was a story that Namgung Cheonjun celebrated the appearance of a new star with lightning strikes in the clear sky at the first dragonfeng meeting.
Lightning in the clear sky …. It’s a story that seems to come out of a legend.
I didn’t think that if I went because of this, I wouldn’t get anything
.
It’s not arrogance.
To be honest, just wallowing there now was at the level of feeling remorse.
In a way, it was like pretending to be strong among the pits.
[If others knew about it, it would make your face red.]
‘…That’s why it’s a relief that others don’t know.’
[It would be nice. Because others don’t know.]
‘Grunt…’
I couldn’t refute Shin Noya’s laugh-filled rain.
At a time like this, I just had to go out shamelessly.
Elder Lee tells me with a smile on his face.
“It’s allowed by the family head, so feel free to bite it and come back.”
“What beast am I? What does biting mean?”
“It looked like a beast.”
“…”
After saying that, Elder Lee took out something from his bosom.
As soon as I saw it I knew what it was.
It was the invitation letter of the Yongbong branch that Dang So-yeol showed me the other day.
“Did Elder Lee receive it?”
“Uh… then that would be it.”
“What is the answer to every single one of hers? It makes people anxious.”
Didn’t you get it from your father?
My invitation letter must have already arrived in Guga, so I wondered if he had brought it.
Elder Lee said as if it wasn’t like that.
“It’s not an invitation, it’s a letter of recommendation.”
“A letter of recommendation? Remove?”
“In case you didn’t know about it, if you knew it would be like this, you would have brought something cooler
.”
Usually, at least a recommendation is made by the sponsor of the late index.
In the case of Dang So-yeol, of course, the head of the party would have done it.
I don’t know if Namgoongbi knows.
Maybe Namgung-jin gave the letter of recommendation to Noi-ryong.
In my case, I was going to receive it from my father. I don’t know if
Gu Yeon-seo, who is living in seclusion after the closing of the building this time, will attend
.
‘But who wrote me a letter of recommendation?’
It would be possible to write it if it was a soldier who made a name for himself as an elder, but was there a
need for Elder Lee to write for this father?
A letter of recommendation from the Yongfong branch is from a teacher to a disciple, from parents to flesh and blood.
In a way, I am supporting or protecting this child. It is like a certificate
called
Who would be able to do that for me? Even the few rumors I had right now wouldn’t be very good,
so I wrote them even at the risk of damage to
my reputation .
“Receive it. I received it the year before last, and I am very happy to be able to use it like this
.”
My forehead wrinkled slightly at Elder Lee’s words.
The year before last…?
So , it means that it was before I regressed .
I don’t remember getting a recommendation letter like this in my previous life.
I received the call carefully.
And as soon as I see the letters written on the calligraphy, my body freezes immediately.
It has to be.
There was only one letter written on the letter.
Lose (敗).
“Elder Lee… this.”
I asked as if I was perplexed, but this elder was smiling proudly.
There is only one reason
why I feel so intimidated by a single letter written in black .
this scripture.
One of the Three Greats of the World and the Lord of the West.
Paejon (敗存). Because it belonged to Biju.
