Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 367
Two months have passed since the raid took place.
The season that was close to early spring was already approaching summer.
Like the season that seemed to flow exceptionally fast.
In the meantime, quite a lot of things had happened in Hanam, including Shinryonggwan.
What is the biggest thing that has ever happened?
First of all, the fact that Shinryonggwan was closed would be the first thing.
In the central plains, it was already widely known that Shinryonggwan was attacked by a group of sapa warriors.
Although Maeng said he would try to block the information, it was too much to block all of them unless there were only one or two mouths of those who had experienced it.
No matter how much the opening side says it is the eyes and ears of the Murimmaeng.
They are also an intelligence agency, and as long as they are in a relationship of interest, they would not have been able to stop them all.
As a result, Shinryonggwan was closed due to various problems being mentioned.
Although the reason is said to be temporarily closed due to building repairs and the aftermath of the raid.
People were somewhat expecting it.
Perhaps because of this incident, Shinryonggwan won’t be open for several years.
Furthermore, it may not open forever.
It’s because the possibility of even holding the Yongbong Branch or the Mutuje that will be held this year is slim.
This incident was such an accident.
The second is the things that the Murim Meng started to deal with.
This was after the Moorim Meng came out with support belatedly.
At the same time as they immediately brought in the lawmakers and started treating the injured.
First of all, he said that the bodies were collected and stored in the cold side of the Murimmaeng basement.
It is said that the attackers took them to the torture chamber.
Survivors who survived the attack said that the Maeng side prepared accommodations at the same time.
I think I’ve handled it well so far.
The problem was after that.
No matter what countermeasures are taken, it is impossible to replace the dead in the end.
Even more so, most of those who died in the raid were late exponents with low levels of cultivation.
It means that they generally belonged to the upper ranks and provided a lot of support to the Murim League.
That the bloodlines of the upper ranks had died en masse.
It means that the financial passage to and from the Murimmaeng will be twisted.
Of course, there will be plenty of upper ranks that continue to support us.
There are places where it just isn’t like that.
This was bound to be a problem with the influence given to Maeng.
Not even the bloodlines of the upper ranks in the dead.
Even the literary men of the Daegu File Room and the blood relatives of famous families were included.
From the point of view of the Moorim Maeng, it meant that it was five minutes before the opening, let alone a settlement.
Therefore, the Murim Maeng first canceled all festivals and schedules for the upcoming period.
There is a lot of talk in the midfield.
-What did the Moorimmaeng do while the young warriors died sadly?
-We raided Hanam, which is said to have a headquarters, but the response was too late.
– What did the leader and the warriors of the Murim League do to make things like that?
etc.
It is the incompetence theory of the Moorim Maeng that has begun to spread in the midfield in the past two months.
Originally, the merchants who supported Maeng would not want such rumors to spread.
Not only would they have been open, but even they would have held hands and put the rumors to rest.
To say that things turned out this way is like saying that now they, too, have turned their backs to some extent.
Once there was a political faction, so the Murimmaeng also existed.
There was a saying that the current peace continues because of the Moorim Meng.
That shallow and thin horse began to crumble with a single attack by the Black Dragon Sword.
A raid that ended in less than a day.
Of course, the raid ended before even a day had passed.
The situation that happened with those involved there was by no means insignificant.
Even now, two months after the raid ended.
“How could it be that the Blue Sea Sword was defeated…”
The story at the time was of interest to countless people.
The vast majority of people spread their drinks in broad daylight and gossip about trivial things.
These people have been talking about one thing lately.
“Didn’t you say that you did it because you had to protect another officer right away?”
“No matter how hard it was, I was only defeated by Sapphire….
“Who said that a nobleman who gave up cutting because he wasn’t even third-rate got up after dinner?”
“Ugh! You said I couldn’t help it because my leg was injured?”
“It would be true. Are you proud that you jumped and fell in surprise when you saw a wild boar? Even after a few days, I was running around just fine.”
“…a lot.”
While the middle-aged man was kicking his tongue, he swallowed the words in his heart at the words of others.
“Great. anyway…! Murim-maeng is the old Moorim-maeng! Not anymore?”
“This man is starting again. Bring some cold water!”
– Yes!
Jeomsoi answered lively and went to draw water.
“What if the Moorim Meng is good? It must have been an attack and everything was blocked.”
“These are the people who take care of our lives, stop complaining about that.”
“A bastard who takes responsibility for his life. Their babies couldn’t take care of them properly, so they had a portrait… Turn it off!.”
When the middle-aged man tried to cross the line, the young man hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.
“Is this man really crazy…! Then, if the warrior of the Meng listens, what should I do!”
“E-Two! What would you do if you heard it! My words are not lies!”
“Grunt…”
The young man clutches his forehead.
There was nothing wrong with what the middle-aged man said.
For those who actually died, they even held a table at the meeting.
“furthermore. They know it’s a problem too, so they must have announced that they would hold a meeting.”
The middle-aged man sighed.
The Moorim League announced that there would be a factional meeting in the next seven days and nights.
Maybe that’s why, now in Hanam, people who were not particularly visible are starting to show up.
Two months ago.
These are the people who started arriving to attend after receiving a notice sent in advance by the Maeng.
There were also those at the top who would have their eyes widened just by hearing the name.
Including the people of the three families called famous families.
A door that appears to be one of the old file rooms is also starting to appear.
They live in different regions and use different martial arts.
They had one thing in common.
“Even though all the expressions are rotten, that’s right.”
“Would you mind? It will rot and remain.”
That is, the expression was heavy and dark.
It has to be.
My son or brother-in-law sent to Shinryong-gwan died in an abrupt attack, so how could it be otherwise?
The fact that they do not easily express their anger must mean that they are showing considerable patience.
A middle-aged man who had been drinking with a story as a snack asks the young man in front of him.
“Who were the people who came this time?”
“I don’t know. I am busy making a living, but how do I know that?”
The young man smiles and says.
“Ah, but I heard that the shaman is coming.”
Among the old file rooms, only a few expressed their intention to attend the meeting.
In the first place, there weren’t many Gupai rooms that were close to the pro-Moorim Meng.
The Munpa belonging to the Gupailbang, who sent a literary person to Shinryonggwan right away.
There were only shamans and volcanoes.
The shaman faction was close to the pro-Murim Meng in the first place, so I tended to send them whenever there was an opening.
Volcanic waves were rather unusual.
According to public rumors, it is said that Gwanju allowed it because it was Kunlun’s Qinghae sword.
“Then the volcanic waves aren’t coming?”
“I don’t know. until there.”
The shamans had their own writers in the immediate casualties.
As a pro-Moorim blind, it would be natural to attend if a meeting were to take place.
Volcanic waves were unknown.
“Anyway… this time it’s really big. I hope there will be no music or blood for a while.”
“Isn’t it nice to see things we haven’t seen before?”
“Well, what…”
After a while, the so-called family heads of the four generations will also appear.
To ordinary humans, not only the family heads of the four generations, but even their blood relatives were people who lived above the sky.
It’s not something you see often anywhere.
“Of course, the accident occurred while all the precious bloodlines of the four generations were present…”
This is a situation where there was a lot of talk, saying that this time was the best jockey of all time. It was the time when all the exceptionally outstanding people gathered in Shinryonggwan amidst the influx of geniuses and geniuses to be called the generation of Yooseong.
“Ehh tsk tsk…”
“But you haven’t gained anything, have you?”
At the words of the young man, the middle-aged man could immediately understand what that meant.
“Are you going to talk about that again?”
“Mr. Chu says the same thing over and over again every day.”
“It’s because you only talk about that every day. I mix things up though.”
“It’s because I don’t get tired of doing it.”
It’s not that nothing has been gained.
meaning of this word.
Between the late exponents who died coldly in the raid and the unmanned people who tried to protect them.
It is because a person with a unique light appeared and became known.
Did they say that heroes appear with troubled times?
That was just right.
“That bastard’s Jinryong… aren’t you tired of it?”
“It’s more fun than swearing at Murimmaeng that Mr. Chu does every day.”
“Hehe, you rotten bastard.”
Jin Dragon.
With the story that Shinryonggwan was attacked.
It was the story about him that started to spread widely in the world.
He was also a famous person.
He is the last person in the six dragons and three peaks, called the symbol of Yuseong’s generation.
Along with peaking at a young age.
A young late index who was famous for his overwhelming force even among the late index.
He was the main character of this rumor.
“Isn’t that great? They said they hadn’t even crossed the terms yet.”
“…well, that’s amazing.”
According to rumors, he alone blocked half of the Sapa warriors from attacking Shinryonggwan.
It is said that he caught the Daema Head who had defeated the Blue Sea Sword and made him kneel.
The middle-aged man who heard it clicked his tongue and said to the young man as if he was dumbfounded.
“I hope you still believe in such things at your age.”
“Are you going to call it nonsense again?”
“No matter how much you hear it, isn’t it a rumor that has nothing to do with reality?”
The middle-aged man pours another glass of alcohol into his mouth and continues talking.
“The fact that Cheonghae Ilgeom was defeated means that Daemadu is also an unmanned person who has reached the Hwagyeong. So you’re saying that the late Jisoo, Jinryong, has risen to the Hwagyeong?”
“…”
“You have to sound like a horse, eh tsk tsk! Even if you really fell on your knees. He must have approached the exhausted man and dealt the final blow.”
Now, is the review index saying that the terms and conditions have not been exceeded?
It was the time when the sun would rise in the west.
“Even killing all the Safamuians alone? There is no such thing as a very high-up.”
“It could be right, so why do you only look at everything negatively?”
“You have to make me believe in something, you bastard! I haven’t seen Kuga like that, but it’s worse than I thought.”
The middle-aged man naturally thought that Jinryong’s Sega had spread rumors in Shanxi District.
I know that Jinryong is an excellent fighter, but most of the people who heard the rumors thought that he would never be as great as the rumors.
No matter how much I heard it, it was a nonsensical story.
The young man crinkles his forehead as if he doesn’t like what the middle-aged man is saying.
“Huh? Look at his expression?”
“No matter how much, when was Jinryong?”
“Are you going to trip over it now?”
“You have to do it right.”
At the words of the young man, the middle-aged man makes a face of bewilderment.
“It’s been a while since the nickname was changed, really.”
“Why are you angry? This is a stupid person.”
Certainly, after the incident was known, Jinryong received a new nickname.
Because the things I did alone were so big and intense.
Those who heard the rumors naturally changed it.
This was the same as meaning that Jinryong was no longer a late index.
“What was the nickname…? I heard it before.”
While the middle-aged person stutters, the young man spits out words as if he can’t stand it.
“Don’t you remember that too? Of course cow…”
Click.
The moment the young man was about to speak to the middle-aged man.
Someone enters the inn.
Naturally, the people in the restaurant move their gaze towards the sound.
If it was original, I wouldn’t have cared about it.
For some reason, the door of the inn opened and a cold wind blew in at the same time.
“Huh…”
The young man, who was about to spit out the words, had to swallow his words as he saw the person who opened the door and entered.
not only young people Even those who were talking loudly had to hold their breath as they looked at the face of the woman who had just entered.
“…tsk.”
As the woman entered the inn, she clicked her tongue as she felt the gaze pouring over her.
Originally, I would have worn a cotton thread.
This time it was because I forgot to bring it.
While the woman was showing signs of discomfort, Jeom So-yi rushed over.
“Welcome.”
“Can you give me what I told you before?”
“ah…! Yes, I will give it to you right now!”
At the woman’s words, Jeom So-yi ran back to the kitchen.
He brings something steaming and hands it to the woman.
When I asked for something, it was dumplings.
After checking the food, the woman gives Jeomsoi a hermit and walks away.
A hermit for a few dumplings? what is that…?
In the midst of questions, the woman just walks lightly.
Even the moment the woman moved and closed the door of the inn.
Everyone in the inn looked at the woman’s back.
widely.
The moment I heard the door close.
Let go of the breath you’ve been holding in all over the place.
“Wow, you are so beautiful. What kind of mistresses are there?”
“…Looks like a child from a noble family, but what did you come here for?”
Do you ask questions while forgetting what the young man said?
Jeom So-yi, who came to bring another snack, tells the story.
“Ah, he’s a frequent visitor.”
“hmm? am i seeing this for the first time? I’m here every day during the day and I’ve never seen it.”
“Uncle Chu is only there during the day. He should come at night.”
“huh? At night?”
“yes. He’s the one who comes and buys dumplings.”
“dumpling…?”
The young man tilts his head.
Is your mouth cheaper than expected? What are you doing here to buy dumplings in the middle of the night?
It was also the case that he came directly to ask for something to be used.
Jeom So-yi continued to talk behind the scenes, as if he had quickly checked the young man’s question.
“My husband said he likes our dumplings. That’s why he came to buy it himself.”
At Jeomsoi’s words, the surroundings let out a sigh as if they had waited.
“There is an owner…”
“I envy you…”
While the men began to drink again, taking their sorrow as a snack. The young man who was talking hard falls into trouble.
“What are you doing. Aren’t you going to drink?”
“That woman… I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere.”
“Don’t be a jerk and eat snacks. Where can we see such a woman?”
“No… rather than seeing the face… should I say the clothes are familiar?”
The embroidery on the sky blue uniform was impressive.
I must have seen that embroidery somewhere…
“Ah…?”
The young man remembered. that’s clear
“…Moyongse?”
It was the pattern on the upper part of Mo Yong Se operated in Hanam.
Most of the people who usually wore such patterns embroidered on their clothes were blood relatives.
‘That means….’
The beautiful woman who just bought dumplings.
Does it mean that he is a blood relative of the Moyong family?
For a moment, the young man comes up with an idea.
“Ah, that wouldn’t be it.”
The young man quickly shook his head, clearing his thoughts.
Even the story about the Jinryong I was talking about just now is something no one believes.
How can you believe that the blood relatives of the great Moyong family came to buy dumplings for her husband in broad daylight?
The young man thought so and started drinking again.
The woman who had bought dumplings just before had reached her destination.
The location is halfway up the mountain.
At first glance, it was a somewhat artificially created cave.
The woman… no, Mo Yong-hee steps naturally into the cave, as if someone had beaten it and destroyed it.
The cave wasn’t very deep.
It was lit by torches planted here and there.
By the time I moved a few steps.
Mo Yong-hee came to smell something.
There was no need to worry about what it smelled like.
It must have been the smell of sweat.
Feeling that, Mo Yong-hee shook her head rather than covering her nose.
I told him to take a break, but he seemed to be able to hold back and move his body.
“I told you that you would collapse after that…”
Even if you say that, it seems that even if you die, you won’t listen.
Mo Yong-hee started to walk again.
It wasn’t long before I was able to reach the end.
thud-! thump-!
Inside, a huge roar erupted.
The cave was ringing every time.
At the top, pieces of stone were falling according to the vibration.
Feeling it, Mo Yong-hee says.
“I brought rice.”
thud-! thud!
It wasn’t a small voice, but it seemed that I couldn’t hear it.
Mo Yong-hee knew.
That means that when this happens, you won’t be heard even if you shout.
Mo Yong-hee, as if familiar with this situation, carefully put the cloth wrapped in food on the floor.
Bring both hands to your mouth.
It was an action to make the sound louder.
She knew the words that would normally be eaten right away by that human under these circumstances.
“Little Yeomra Grand Coup. You must eat.”
Boom…
Mo Yong-hee’s words stopped the roar, including the vibration, in an instant.
right after.
I could see someone coming towards me from inside, huffing and puffing.
I noticed that my ears turned red at a fairly fast pace.
“Hey! I told you not to call me that!”
A young man with dark black hair and fierce eyes.
It was Guyangcheon.
