Episode 1249 That’s it. (4)
Kwak Hwan-so thought.
‘What kind of crazy nonsense is this?’
At first I was surprised, then I became dumbfounded, and in the end I was embarrassed.
Cheongmyeong criticized him for being stupid, but Kwak Hwan-so was Haenam’s great disciple. He is a person who by nature cannot be stupid. There’s no way they didn’t understand what they were saying.
“Well, so…”
He stuttered and opened his mouth.
“My work as special envoy for Cheon Woo-maeng has been terminated, so I will not discuss it further…”
“yes.”
“Are you saying that you will give up all your qualifications and join Haenam as a military officer?”
“That’s right.”
Guo Huanxiao looked at Chen Yumeng and his group with his mouth wide open. As I watched the people calmly tucking into their food no matter what conversation was going on next to me, I felt like the sense of reality I was finally trying to regain was running away.
Kwak Hwan-so, who somehow desperately refined his words, finally pushed out the most reasonable words he had to say.
“Are you crazy?”
Too much? No, it’s not excessive at all. From Kwak Hwan-so’s perspective, it was the most moderate thing he could say. Is there anything more benign in the world that can be said to someone who is willing to take his own life?
“Seup, do you see this little Malbon bird? “Where to Hwasan Jangmun Dari!”
“Cheongmyeong, be patient!”
“You are the person who treats Deputy Hwasan Jangmoon the most harshly…”
Cheongmyeong got angry, but Baekcheon just laughed.
“Do you look crazy?”
“…That’s not something you would say in your right mind.”
“Well, it’s not that wrong, but it’s hard to refute it.”
Baekcheon shrugged his shoulders calmly.
“But what are you going to do? That’s how the decision was made.”
Kwak Hwan-so, who had been dazed, flinched sharply as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Well, then, everyone here?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Now I can’t even speak.
‘Are you really sane?’
Who are these people here?
They are Jangmun Daeri of Hwasan, Sogaju of Namgung, Sogaju of Tang family and Gungju of Binggung. Isn’t there even a green forest king?
Of course, the Green Forest King is in a corner thinking, ‘How did I get entangled with these crazy people and sit here like this? Although they give off a strong vibe of ‘I just want to bite my tongue and die’, it is true that they are together anyway.
Kwak Hwan-so was unable to do anything and just scratched his head.
Of course, thank you. Even though everyone is ignoring Haenam, they went out of their way to come to Haenam, and even though negotiations broke down, they said they would stay and not leave, so how could we not be grateful?
I feel like I want to lie down on the spot, shedding tears.
But at this moment, Kwak Hwan-so realized something again. The fact that he was such a rational person. No, maybe he realized that there were countless people in the world who were more irrational than him.
“Do you not know what position you stand in?”
“⋯⋯.”
“You are the ones carrying the future of each clan. Why on earth would such people throw their lives away in this faraway land?”
“That’s why.”
“yes?”
Baekcheon said calmly.
“As you said, we are the ones carrying the future of each clan. Therefore, our every move has no choice but to become an example for the clan.”
“No, people who know that…”
At that time, Baek-cheon cut off Kwak Hwan-so’s words in a stern voice.
“So, if we go back like this, how will those who were waiting for our return accept the situation?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Should I tell them that I went all the way to Haenam, but things didn’t go well, and that’s why I went on a rampage before the Sapae-ryeon came in?”
Baekcheon quietly shook his head.
“That can’t be possible. Doing so would only set a precedent that if there is a powerful enemy, one must abandon one’s comrades and run away.”
“⋯⋯.”
“That’s why we have to fight. Don’t run away because the enemy is strong; fight because the enemy is strong. “That is the minimum obligation that those who have benefited from discussing the negotiation process must adhere to.”
“But Cheon Woo-maeng…”
“yes. Of course, the positions of individuals, factions, and alliances are bound to differ. Sometimes, you have to know how to overcome such personal disagreements. But…”
Baekcheon chuckled softly without speaking.
“What do you think? The leader is not here. “You’ll get scolded later, but you can’t do anything about us right now.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
As soon as those words came out, the faces of those around him, especially the Huashan disciples, became gloomy.
“If Jang Mun-in finds out, he will kill us.”
“Now you are not Jang Mun-in, but Taesang Jang-mun-in.”
“No, even if Jang Mun-in finds out, he will kill us. execution.”
“⋯⋯uh, that⋯⋯.”
“Sahyeong, didn’t you see Unam Sasukjo angry?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before…”
“I only saw it once. That… “I saw it, and…”
Just thinking about Jo Geol made me tremble as if I was afraid.
“Jang Moon-in should not have changed… “We are all lost.”
The faces of the Huashan disciples suddenly turned gloomy, but Baek Chun remained calm.
“You can think about what comes later. “Right now, I just have to worry about what’s in front of me.”
Kwak Hwan-so realized clearly at that moment.
‘He’s really crazy.’
How strange is inside this seemingly normal human being.
His tone of voice is polite and his face is extremely trustworthy, but there is something truly volcanic inside. Since he is this kind of person, he must have been appointed as Hwasan’s deputy.
Logic is arbitrary and nothing makes sense. I have no idea where to start or where to point this out.
However, Kwak Hwan-so could not bear to point out that fact openly. This is not because their joining is beneficial.
colleague.
Baekcheon’s words, “comrade,” which were indifferently passed out in passing, forced Kwak Hwanso’s mouth to close.
“We…”
Guo Huanxiao forced out the words that wouldn’t come out.
“I declined Cheon Woo-maeng’s offer.”
“yes.”
“I confirmed that I would not join the alliance.”
“I know.”
Kwak Hwan-so strained his eyes and looked straight at Baek-cheon.
“And yet we are Cheon Yu-meng’s colleagues? “Is it worth risking your life to fight together?”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
When Baekcheon heard those words, his expression seemed absurd.
“No, just because Haenam wasn’t part of the Cheonwoo Alliance didn’t mean it became a faction. It’s still a political faction, so why can’t we fight together?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Of course, the relationship between Gu Pail Bang and Cheon Woo Maeng is a bit awkward. But to put it bluntly, the relationship between Cheon Woo-maeng and Shaolin is bad. Is there any reason why we should have any ill feelings toward Haenam?”
Guo Huanxiao could not bear to answer and kept his mouth shut. Baekcheon smiled and continued speaking.
“That’s not what’s important. “The important thing is that Haenam is now standing alone against the Sapaeryeon, and we are here now.”
His voice has been calm from the beginning until now. As if he was talking about an ordinary fact that was insignificant and did not need to be argued.
“So all you have to do is fight. “I don’t know why there’s any need for another word there.”
There was silence for a moment.
Kwak Hwan-so’s head fell down. Because I was overflowing with emotions. I didn’t want them to see the expression he was making right now.
He lowered his head and spoke in a slightly suppressed voice.
“⋯⋯There’s no way Volcano can feel good about Haenam, right?”
“Of course, to be honest, it’s not a very pleasant feeling. “I guess there is something involved.”
“But…”
“But that is no reason for us to leave Haenam.”
Kwak Hwan-so bit his lip. I do not know what to say. From where and how…
“And it looks like there was a bit of a misunderstanding… Meng’s position and the individual’s position are different. But that doesn’t mean that if Maeng had known about this situation, he would have abandoned Haenam.”
“⋯⋯.”
“We just came here without really knowing the situation. “If I had known the situation, I would have tried to help Haenam with all my might, even if Haenam did not join the Cheonwoo Meng.”
Kwak Hwan-so bit his lip and asked.
“Is that… Cheon Woo-maeng’s way?”
“no.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“This is not the way of Cheon Woo-maeng, but the duty of the one holding the sword.”
Kwak Hwan-so’s heart fluttered.
It’s so easy to say things like this. Kwak Hwan-so also heard it countless times in his life and said it out loud countless times.
But how many people in the world would really risk their lives to say this? But those few people were here right now. Right in front of his eyes.
“⋯⋯Thank you.”
For now, Kwak Hwan-so also postponed his position. Now, these words were not spoken as a great disciple representing Haenam, but simply as a disciple of Haenam.
“Thank you for saying that, even if it’s just words. “He said he would die with us…”
“who?”
At that time, an extremely disapproving voice suddenly cut in and cut off Guo Huanxiao.
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“They say someone will die with me?”
“⋯⋯Oh, no. now.”
“Oh, this guy has really lost his mind.”
Cheongmyeong contorted his face grimly and cursed.
“Who dies, you bastard! I’m crazy? From this far away? “It would not be enough to be carefully buried in a volcanic plum forest and praised from generation to generation.”
“⋯⋯I wish I never saw that with my own eyes.”
“Curse, curse.”
“You have to throw it away from the cliff.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to bury it at Jongnam Mountain? “Is it going to be a curse from generation to generation?”
As Cheongmyeong suddenly turned his head and rolled his eyes, Hwasan’s disciples quickly shrank their necks.
“Someone please die, you bastard.”
“Oh, no… Isn’t that the case?”
“situation? “What situation?”
“Sapaeryeon…”
“hey!”
A spark burst out of Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
“If the Sapae-ryeon attacks, should we all ask them to cut their heads and kill us? Not all of them are coming, but only some of them are coming, but it breaks my heart to see these guys, who are known as old people, acting like old people who accepted the day of their death! Hey, you bastard! If you have time to argue here, you should think about killing those who come!”
“I have full power…”
“The power is frozen! A fight is not won by the strongest. The guy who won was the stronger one. “If you’re going to go all out, Joongwon was destroyed a hundred years ago!”
“That’s true.”
“The Demon Cult bastards were really strong.”
“⋯⋯They say it used to be stronger. “I don’t know how I beat that.”
“Compared to that, Sapaeryeon is nothing special.”
Bewildered, Guo Huanxiao looked at everyone blankly. At that time, Cheongmyeong spoke clearly.
“Listen straight up, kid.”
“⋯⋯.”
“There is a difference between fighting to the death and going to die. Who wants to die here? Don’t talk nonsense. “I’m trying to fight with those bastards, not to get lost here.”
“Volcano Sword Association…”
Qingming glared at Guo Huanxiao with slightly sunken eyes.
“So, if you have time to waste talking nonsense, go get ready. “I’ll go talk right after eating.”
“⋯⋯What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Cheongmyeong.
“We need to discuss how to kill those bastards.”
A twisted smile appeared on Cheongmyeong’s lips.
