“Hmph!”
“Go a little slower!”
“I’m not busy at one o’clock!”
Nangung Dowi ran forward without even looking back. Tang Soso, who was chasing him, shook his head.
‘Why are there so many ignorant people?’
I thought Cheongmyeong and Jo Geol had swept away all the ignorance of the world, but it seems they have shared it here as well. I see him putting so much strain on a body like that.
It is said that the external wound has healed moderately, but the internal wound has not yet fully recovered. However, if you try too hard, it won’t be surprising if something goes wrong.
And of course, Dangsoso, a member of the National Assembly, could not tolerate such self-indulgence of the patient.
Paaaat!
“100 million?”
Tang Soso’s bandage flew in from behind and wrapped around Nangung Dowi’s arm.
“No more. “Please slow down.”
“No, Soger. This… … .”
“It’s not a sword, it’s a seal!”
“ah… … . Sorry, seal. Anyway, it’s 1 o’clock now… … .”
“yes. One o’clock is urgent. But if you run like that, Lord Soga will go to the underworld in a hurry, right?”
“… … .”
“Slow down. “I’m saying this as a member of the National Assembly.”
“… … “I understand.”
Perhaps because the word “congressman” exerted its power, Namgung Dowi slowly slowed down. Sweat drips down from his forehead, perhaps because he is relaxed.
“really… … .”
Tang Soso frowns as he looks at Nangung Dowi as if there is no answer.
“Do you think something big will happen if Lord Soga arrives a little late? “That’s why I sent the elder in the first place because I was worried about that.”
Namgung Dowi nods, wiping sweat with his sleeve.
“I’m sure your uncle will handle things much wiser than I can.”
“You know very well. But why are you acting like a person whose butt is on fire? Anyone who sees it will think that without Lord Soga, Tianyu Meng will be ruined. “That’s excessive self-consciousness.”
Nangung Dowi smiled bitterly at Tang Soso’s words.
“It’s because of excessive self-consciousness… … .”
“Well, that is also a characteristic of the Namgung family.”
Namgung Dowi shook his head.
“It is difficult to deny that there is such a tendency in the Namgung family, but at least it is not like that now.”
“sure?”
“It’s not that I wonder what will happen if I’m not around, it’s that I wonder what will happen when I’m not there.”
Tang Soso tilted his head.
Isn’t that the same thing?
“Even without me, the Cheongmyeong Dojo and its executioners will handle anything. It will never fall apart easily. Even if the opponent is that loser.”
“… … .”
There was a clear note of trust in Namgung Dowi’s voice. So much so that no matter who hears it, they will feel that it is not just something said out of politeness.
Is it really possible to feel that kind of trust in someone from a different clan than the same clan? And to people who are not that different in age from me?
“… … Then there is no problem, right? “The executioners will take care of it anyway.”
“Of course it is. But that’s why it’s unfair.”
“yes?”
Namgung Dowi sighed and laughed.
“It’s unfair and hurts my pride. “If something can be solved without me, that means I am a worthless person.”
“… … .”
Tang Soso looks at Nangung Dowi with an expression of bewilderment. What kind of logic is this?
However, Nangong Daowi stiffened his face and spoke with an extremely serious expression.
“I can’t stand it. That I, as a person, am nothing more than a side note to the achievements of those people. “Nangungse is not me as the head of Soga, but as a swordsman named Namgungdowi.”
“… … “It may be a bit twisted, but to put it another way, it seems like supporting roles are intolerable.”
“That’s right.”
Nangung Dowi smiled.
“But isn’t it okay to be that greedy? “What if it’s inspection?”
Tang Soso shook his head again. Anyway, the five generations are all a bit strange. Of course, it’s not something someone from the Five Worlds and a disciple of that volcano would say.
“I thought you weren’t interested in that?”
“There was none. Until I cut off the Black Dragon King’s head.”
“… … .”
“But now the revenge is over. So we’ll see next time. “I’m anxious because I’m afraid I’ll be left behind next time.”
Tang Soso clicked his tongue.
In some ways, this person is similar to the Qingming executioner. In the sense that once you achieve something, you never stop and look for the next thing to do and the next purpose.
These types of people never stop until they run out of strength and collapse.
“And aren’t you curious?”
“What?”
“The Cheongmyeong seal.”
There was a slightly excited look in Nangong Daowi’s eyes as he spoke Cheongmyeong. As she continued her serious words, her eyes had a hint of playfulness in them that did not suit her before.
“That person would have definitely done something by now. Something I could never have imagined. “Because there is nothing suitable for that person’s personality.”
“… … .”
Even the Party Office could not deny this. Even she can’t imagine that Cheongmyeong kept his mouth shut for several days. I’m sure just hearing it is giving her a headache and a stomach ache.
“I’m sure they’ll be pushing things like an angry bull that are ridiculous but make sense. “I have to be so curious about what that is that I just can’t stand it.”
“Then wouldn’t it be right to wait a little longer and at least listen to the news before leaving? “The world says that’s common sense?”
“The seal knows that there is no time for that.”
Tang Soso sighed as if there was no answer.
‘Even if people change, they should change in moderation.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean that the unlucky and arrogant Nam Gung Do-wi was okay in the past, but the current direction is also a bit… … . Can’t she just compromise?
“Then I’m glad.”
“What do you mean?”
“You will find out soon. “Hey, it’s a chord.”
“ah.”
Namgung Dowi raises his head and looks ahead. From afar, the harmony they had carefully composed caught their eye.
“… … “It’s kind of funny to say this.”
“yes?”
“It feels like I’m back in my hometown. “I just came from Anhui.”
Namgung Do-wi chuckles as if he finds it funny even after saying this.
“let’s go. “It’s enough to be friendly with your hometown or whatever.”
Namgung Dowi left Tang Soso and ran toward Hwaeum first.
“The atmosphere seems a little chaotic.”
“Iknow, right?”
“Something must have happened again.”
“Could you please stop saying that like it’s so funny? “I already have a stomachache.”
“It will be a good thing in the end. “Don’t you know that too?”
“… … I guess so. “You go round and round and get good results.”
Nangung Dowi smiled bitterly, as if it was difficult to deny those words. Certainly, everything Cheongmyeong did had that tendency.
“Anyway, I need to find out what’s going on… … .”
“Lord Soga!”
It was that moment.
“hmm?”
“Lord Soga! “Are you here?”
Nangong Daowi narrowed his eyes. The swordsmen of the Namgung family who followed Namgung Myeong toward Hwaeum were running toward him.
“… … “I don’t think there’s any need to look for it.”
This was Namgung Dowi’s impression when he saw the serious expressions on their faces.
“Disbanding the family… … . Are you saying that you are going to create a new party and disperse the Gasols into that party?”
“yes!”
One of the swordsmen of the Namgung family said with a stern face.
“And Elder Nam Gung-myeong approved this on behalf of Lord Soga.”
“… … .”
Namgung Dowi scratched my cheek a couple of times.
“… … “I expected something unimaginable would happen, but this is even more unimaginable.”
I thought it would go further than they thought, but the original idea was on a different level. Who would even dare to plan and carry out such a ridiculous thing?
“Have other factions approved it?”
“That’s right.”
“hmm.”
Nangong Dowi nodded heavily.
We’ll have to hear how this situation came about, but it doesn’t seem like it was a plan without a solution. No, of course not. If that were the case, there would be no way that factions that were not friendly to volcanoes would have agreed.
‘No… … . If it were him, regardless of his position, he would have made me agree in the end.’
I pretend to collect and coordinate everyone’s opinions, but in reality I do whatever I want. This was the Cheongmyeong method that Namgung Dowi had seen so far. In the meantime, there is just a little bit of intimidation(?) and blackmail mixed in.
“Lord Soga.”
“hmm?”
“Even now, you must punish Elder Namgung-myeong for his indulgence and reverse everything that happened.”
“… … .”
Namgung Dowi looked at the inspector of the Namgung family as if wondering what this meant.
“It is a complete violation of authority for an elder to decide on something like this.”
“yes. That’s right, Lord Soga. And disbanding the family. How can those with Nangong’s blood in their veins accept the orders of others? “The only person who can give orders to Nangong is Lord Soga.”
“The same goes for other clans. I don’t know what the people at the top think, but public opinion is mostly unfavorable to those who have to fight on the front lines. “I don’t understand why they have to risk their lives on the orders of people they don’t know.”
Upon hearing those words, Namgung Dowi’s expression hardened seriously.
“Public opinion is not good?”
“yes.”
Nangung Dowi sensed that others around him were focusing on them. Nevertheless, it seemed to be true that the atmosphere on the floor was not good, as no one was there to stop them from speaking.
“What about you? “Do you think the same way?”
“That’s right.”
“The reason is?”
“Because it is life-threatening.”
“… … “More details.”
One of Namgung’s swordsmen spoke with a serious expression.
“Life is not a waste. I can throw as much as I want, including my life, for the glory of Namgung. But if things turn out like this, won’t Meng and Hwasan take all the cost of my life? Why should we throw our lives away to make them shine?”
Several people nodded at those words.
“Breaking down boundaries may sound good, but doesn’t it ultimately mean wielding the power of other factions to do what they want? Even if we win like that, what on earth is left for us?”
“… … .”
“I think Lord Soga should step forward. Namgoong will shine the brightest under Namgoong’s name… … .”
“stop.”
“Lord Soga. Namgoong… … .”
“I told you to shut your mouth.”
The person who was speaking flinched and looked at Namgung Dowi.
A lifelike voice. But what was more surprising than that was the harsh tone he used. As far as he knows, Nangong Daowi has never used this tone of voice before.
“cow… … “Matriarch?”
Namgung Dowi glares at the person speaking with distorted eyes.
“The glory of Namgung? “Did you say something like that just now?”
The swordsman shrinks his neck at that murderous voice. No one here has ever seen Nangong Daowi this angry. Even when facing the Black Dragon King, she did not show off her anger so blatantly.
The force was so cold that even Tang Soso flinched back.
“When they were dying on Maehwa Island, they bowed their heads begging for someone to help them… … . “Now that you’re worth living, can you speak with glory in your mouth?”
“So, Lord Soga.”
“People are inherently treacherous. It’s not that I don’t know, but… … .”
Namgung Dowi gritted his teeth.
“At least, I had no idea that someone with the surname Namgung would talk like an ungrateful animal.”
“… … .”
Those who were oppressed by the force lowered their heads, unable to even look directly at Nangong Daowi.
“I was wondering what I should do, but thanks to you, I now know the answer.”
Namgung Dowi grabs his sword.
This is something a volcano cannot do. Because if they do it, it will be coercion. Therefore, Namgung Dowi was able to perfectly understand her role.
“Those who are dissatisfied with Meng’s treatment should come forward. “I will make you painfully realize how much freedom and rights you have enjoyed so far.”
The complexions of those standing in front of him turned dark.
