“oh?”
“Sasuk?”
While trudging back to his dorm, Baekcheon encounters Jogeol and Yoonjong and looks at them with wide eyes.
“omg.”
“… … “This tastes so good.”
“Are you okay? “Sasuk?”
“… … Fine… … .”
As Baekcheon nodded his head with difficulty, Jogeol whispered to Yoonjong.
“Isn’t the situation a lot worse than you thought?”
“But aren’t you your father? When a runaway child meets his father, things usually go wrong. “No, usually the leg club breaks?”
“Then should I say that you managed to come back safely?”
“No. I guess I should say that I’m still fine. “It’s a bridge that might break at any moment.”
“ah.”
Jogeol glances at Baekcheon’s legs. In fact, when he ran away from home for about a week before coming to Volcano and was caught, he was beaten to the point where one of his parts was broken.
He was beaten so hard for only a week, but hasn’t it been over ten years since he ran away from home? Of course, at this point it should be called independence rather than running away from home, but Jinchobaek’s position would be different.
Yoonjong, who was looking at Baekcheon’s dark, dead complexion, said with a chuckle.
“I also think that heavenly principles are difficult to break. Take this opportunity to restore your relationship appropriately. “Sasuk.”
“Yoonjong-ah.”
“yes?”
“… … “Do you know who my father is?”
“hmm… … .”
Yoonjong narrowed his eyes slightly. I’ve seen him a few times from afar, but I don’t really know what kind of person he is. He only knows that he resembles Baekcheon.
“Well… … .”
“Think of just one thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“The Jingeumryong came out from underneath it.”
“… … .”
Yunjong’s face became pale at those words.
“that… … I see. “Sasuk’s father.”
Jo Geol and Yoon Jong glanced at each other and whispered.
“oh my god. Now that I think about it, he is the father of Sa-suk and Jin Geum-ryong. “He must not be an ordinary person.”
“yes. “Because he is Sa-suk’s father.”
These bastards?
A vein of blood appeared on Baekcheon’s forehead. But he was right, so he couldn’t really refute it.
“But wouldn’t it be better than Jingeumryong?”
“That’s my opinion. brother… … . No, Jin Geum-ryong and I have one thing in common, right? “I don’t want to admit it, but I do.”
“I don’t think it’s just one thing… … .”
“Do you really want to get married?”
“… … What is it? What is that thing in common?”
Baekcheon muttered helplessly.
“I mean, I was beaten to death. “To whom?”
“Ah, so you’re saying my head was broken.”
“That can certainly be said to be a commonality. But what does that have to do with this?”
“therefore… … .”
Baekcheon sighed deeply.
“It feels a little awkward to say this with my own mouth, but my father… … . He is like Jin Jinlong, who has never been beaten.”
“Heeeeeeeek!”
“Uuuuu… … .”
Yoonjong and Jogeol trembled.
The image of the unlucky Jin Geum-ryong and Baek-cheon right before being beaten by Cheongmyeong appeared in their minds. What kind of people would those two people have become if they had grown older?
“… … “It must be difficult.”
“that… … . Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s necessary to follow the heavenly principles. “Anyway, we became monks.”
Baekcheon massaged his face and answered helplessly.
“Easier said than done… … .”
“but.”
“So does he.”
A sigh escapes me.
Of course, Jinchobaek has also gotten older, and a lot of time has passed, so he must have become more harmful than before. But even so, the burden of having to act with my father, with whom I had a bad relationship, did not go away.
furthermore… … .
At that moment, Yoonjong flinched and looked at Baekcheon with a serious face.
“Sasook. “There is one thing I want to ask you.”
“what.”
“that… … . “Then Jin Geum-ryong becomes an ordinary party member, right?”
“yes.”
“Which party does he belong to?”
“… … .”
“no way… … .”
Baekcheon turned his head and looked at the distant sky. Yoonjong and Jo Geol, seeing something transparent sparkling in the corner of his eyes, look at each other again.
“Who compiled this list of party members?”
“Are you asking the obvious? “Cheongmyeong made it, right?”
“Is it a coincidence?”
“Oh my, the death penalty. Make it sound like a horse. Is there any coincidence in what that bastard does? “This is clearly intentional.”
Doesn’t that mean that Cheongmyeong pushed Baekcheon into the party’s deputy leader even though he clearly knew that Jinchobaek and Jingeumryong were here?
“… … “Are you really a human?”
“You vicious bastard… … .”
The two trembling men approached Baekcheon as if they were salty and wrapped their arms around his shoulders from both sides.
“Cheer up, Sasuk. What should I do? “For now, just take it easy.”
“That’s right, Sasuk. Still, it’s not family, it’s family.”
“It’s because we’re family… … . “Because we are family.”
“ah… … .”
That’s also true.
Baekcheon, who saw them unable to find any more words to comfort them, was the first to speak up and say that he was still an adult.
“What about you? Didn’t you also meet the heads of the clans separately? Are they okay?”
“What are you, Beast Palace Lord? You are always nice. Of course, my ears hurt a little when I talk up close… … .”
“okay.”
Baekcheon nods his head weakly.
Any other person would be disturbed by the spirit creatures wandering around the Beast Palace, but Jo Geol would not have anything like that. Because he is a person closer to that side than a person himself.
“Mr. Moyong was also a person I could communicate with more than I expected.”
“… … okay?”
Baekcheon looks at Yoonjong as if it was a little unexpected.
“He said that he knows his role well and that he will not interfere with the work by being unnecessarily stubborn. “It looked a little different from what I had seen before.”
“… … He is the head of a family. “Of course you have a broad mind.”
“yes. “Now that I think about it, wasn’t he the one who tried to stop the Zhuge family member and mediate as much as possible?”
“It did.”
“On the other hand, if you think about it, you seem like a pretty gentle person. “As long as I do well, I don’t think there will be any major problems.”
Baekcheon nodded.
Of course, there will be no problem with Tanggunak and Hyeyeon, and the combination of Pungyeongsingae and Namgungdowi will also be difficult to cause problems. Although Namgungdowi is full of blood, Pungyeongsingae has been leading the opening from behind the scenes until now. They will definitely be able to harmonize with each other.
then… … .
“Why only me… … .”
“Don’t cry, Sasuk.”
“Embarrassing a grown man!”
Baekcheon wipes his face with his sleeve and sighs.
“Anyway, let’s do our best. Now it’s really… … . Yes, because that’s really all that’s left.”
“yes. “Sasuk.”
“yes.”
Yoonjong and Jogeol nodded. Although he is looking like he is in a difficult situation right now, when he enters the battlefield, Baekcheon will be the one who will fulfill his role better than anyone else.
However, Yunjong’s eyes looking at Baekcheon were not as comfortable as Jogeol’s. Neither Jo Geol nor Baek Cheon realized it.
“Rather, what are we going to do now? “No one tells me what to do, so I don’t know what to do.”
Jo Geol scratched his head and Baek Cheon nodded.
“Now you are in a position to give orders, not take orders.”
“yes.”
“So rather than waiting for others to tell me what to do, I should think for myself about what I should do and move on.”
“So, well… … .”
When Jo Geol made a troubled face, Baek Cheon chuckled.
“If it were me, I would meet people from my party first. “No matter how connected we are, if we get to know each other well, things get a little easier.”
“Oh, I guess so.”
Jo Geol nodded his head loudly.
Normally, it would be something he could easily think of, but suddenly being in the important position of deputy head, he felt like he couldn’t think of anything.
“Then what happens after that?”
“After that… … .”
Baekcheon’s head turned to one side.
“You have to wait.”
“… … .”
“The instructions they will give.”
* * *
Cheongmyeong. Lim So-byeong. And Zhuge Zain.
A tactician representing a political faction and a tactician representing a sad faction. And in recent years, the commander of Cheonwoomaeng has proven that no one can match his extraordinary strength.
The three people were sitting around a small table in the center.
“The organization has been completed. It may take some time, but soon you will be moving as one body.”
Qingming nodded at Zhuge Zain’s words.
This is the part that I put the most effort into when putting together this compilation. They shouldn’t be too close to each other, but they shouldn’t be too far away either.
Based on the above, it would be right for the most awkward and estranged people to fight together and narrow the psychological distance, but Cheongmyeong was not foolish enough to ignore the reality that was immediately in front of him and only shout out ideals.
The important thing is to reduce sacrifices and overcome fraud. Everything must be prepared for that one purpose.
And after that… … .
Just as Cheongmyeong was about to deepen his thoughts, Lim So-byeong opened his mouth.
“What’s important is that little bit of time.”
“hmm.”
“and… … Now, I wonder how the Sapaeryun is moving.”
Zhuge Zain nods his head.
“Is there still no movement by the Sapaeryeon?”
“We are keeping an eye on the opening, but we are not moving yet.”
“why… … .”
Zhuge Zain looked like he didn’t understand at all.
Something is definitely strange. Now they are in a situation where they have completely won. If he had pushed it as is, Cheon Woo-maeng would have had a hard time responding. But didn’t they give them time to prepare by settling down in Hubei, which had no special meaning, and wasting time?
“Aren’t you planning some kind of plan?”
“If you think about it with common sense, that would be true, but… … .”
Lim So-byeong could not easily nod his head. Every number in Jangilso has meaning. But this time, even Lim So-byeong could not read the meaning of this act at all.
So the only place I can lean on right now is… … .
“What do you think, Commander?”
After receiving Lim So-byeong’s question, Cheongmyeong’s eyes are fixed on the map spread out on the data table. His eyes sank deeper and deeper.
“It’s a ruse… … .”
Cheongmyeong shakes his head.
“There is no plan to give in.”
“But he’s been there before…” … .”
“It wasn’t that he was sitting down, he was pointing at the point of his sword. It’s different now. No matter how much you think about it, it’s just meaningless.”
“Hmm. then?”
It was just as Lim So-byeong’s mind was starting to become confused.
thud!
“Aaaah!”
Lim So-byeong grabs his head and falls backwards.
“why! “Why are you hitting me?”
“Tsk!”
Cheongmyeong’s face distorts and he looks at Lim So-byeong.
“Still, I’m a soldier of the Heavenly Alliance, and even if I’m not good at it, I’m so scared of the bastard called the King of Green Forest!”
“… … yes?”
“That bastard is also a human being. “He plans everything, and he can’t do everything his way.”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes.
Variables arise in every war. Sometimes big variables, sometimes small variables. And sometimes even minor but fatal variables.
Sometimes, that small variable can change the battlefield in ridiculous ways.
“The situation is clear now. “He clearly faced unexpected variables.”
“… … .”
“So there’s only one thing we have to do.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes shone bright blue.
“Making someone who falls down never get up again.”
Lim So-byeong stopped breathing for an instant.
And at that moment, the words of Cheongmyeong pierced his ears.
“We did enough to defend ourselves. “It’s so boring and terrifying.”
widely!
Cheongmyeong’s hand, its five fingers, takes a map. And soon those fingers came together, crumpling the map.
“Now it’s our turn.”
“Commander… … .”
“Attack.”
Murderousness flowed from Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
“That guy’s breathing…” … . “Until I quit completely.”
It’s creepy.
It was a cold voice again.
