Episode 1375 You have to make it like that. (5)
“Hawk, Lord! excuse me!”
“I’m watching too.”
Hyeonjong looked at the riverside where black smoke was rising with a hard face.
“This is where Gupilbang’s ships were anchored.”
Hyeonjong slowly nodded at Tanggunak’s words.
“It must be Sapae-ryeon, right?”
“I think so.”
Unless the court suddenly went crazy and burned its own ship, aren’t the only people who would do something like this?
“You really caught me off guard.”
Tang Gunak slowly clenched and unclenched the hand hidden inside his sleeve.
This is the most frightening part of Jang Il-so.
When everyone’s eyes are focused on one place, he stabs the most vulnerable spot that no one cares about.
They even use themselves as bait.
“Lord! “The ditch over there is moving.”
“⋯⋯.”
Everyone could clearly see the fleet of water vessels occupying the Yangtze River changing direction.
Even at first glance, the movement was not rapid.
“As if I had been waiting…”
“It must have already been planned.”
My fingertips felt cold.
“Then…”
At that time, Meng Xiao, who was behind him with his arms crossed, opened his mouth.
“Should we view the fact that the defeated army started moving east as an attempt to attract attention in order to burn those ships?”
“hmm.”
Tanggunak lets out a low breath.
It is an undeniable fact that the defenses across the river became weak thanks to Jang Il-so’s direct movement.
I don’t know, but just knowing that Jang Il-so had moved away from across the river would have eased everyone’s feelings.
Looking back, even Tanggunak himself had a tendency to let go of his feelings without even realizing it, so how can other people feel the same?
“Maybe so. Jang Il-so Ramen.”
Meng Xiao’s eyes sank somberly.
“Use yourself as bait to divert your gaze and attack where your gaze strays…”
When Meng Xiao sees a person, he thinks of a similar animal.
But as for that loser, I couldn’t think of any beast that could fit him.
It is more clever than a fox, but more vicious than a tiger. Where else in the world could you find such a beast?
“The important thing is.”
At that moment, Hyeonjong, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“It’s not that the ship is on fire, it’s that Jang Il-so is still moving east.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Where the kids are coming from.”
Tanggunak and Maengso look at King Hyeonjong with new eyes.
While others are worried about how Jang Il-so’s actions will affect this confrontation, Hyeonjong’s eyes are only focused on Hwasan’s disciples.
Tanggunak was about to say something, but Hyeonjong spoke first.
“Now you probably know about Gufileilbang. “Jang Il-so’s movements are not just bravado.”
“⋯⋯If you weren’t stupid, you would.”
Tanggunak’s gaze filled with complex feelings turned across the river.
‘Defeat.’
It was hard to deny.
As Jang Il-so created the headquarters of the Sapaeryeon across the river and began to live there in seclusion, an idea was planted in the minds of people and even in the minds of Tanggunak.
– Perhaps Jang Il-so is only moderately satisfied with comparing Gangnam?
That was a ridiculous, but also realistic question.
The land called Gangnam is enormous. Even throughout the history of Gangho, it was never common for a Sa faction to completely control such a huge piece of land.
In other words, it means that Jang Il-so has already achieved an achievement that will leave his name in the history of Gangho.
But is there any reason to go to war with that powerful old faction just to eat up more?
You can find out if you change your thinking just a little. There is no threat to Jang Il-so now.
The court may be able to become a focal point when countering Jang Il-so’s attacks, but it does not have the ability to gather the strength to attack Gangnam based on its network, and Cheon Woo-maeng, who is the most hostile to Jang Il-so, is too weak to plan Gangnam alone. This is where it is lacking.
‘In other words, if Jang Il-so wants to maintain this structure, no one in the world can shake his position.’
Everything is guaranteed. Everything.
Jang Il-so would have been able to maintain his status as the loser of Gangnam for decades just by making that easy choice of staying in that luxurious headquarters.
No, maybe he will be able to live as the emperor of Gangnam until the moment he dies. That is, considering his initiative.
That’s why I doubted it.
I wonder if this situation might have engraved the two letters ‘stability’, which are not suitable for the hungry beast named Jang Il-so.
No matter how crazy he is with his desires, throwing everything away and risking his life would not be an easy choice.
If you compromise a little, you can literally have everything.
But that burning flame was literally laughing at all those thoughts.
That flame becomes the mouth of Jang Il-so and speaks. That he will never be satisfied with places like Gangnam.
Even if he himself gets swept up in the flames and turns to ashes, he will forever aim for Gangbuk.
Tang Gunak bit his lip as he felt the creepy malice in the flames.
“Here’s a report!”
At that time, someone who ran into the manor raised his voice.
“The old group is on the move. “It looks like they are trying to follow the canal boats moving down the river!”
Tanggunak’s head nodded.
Now that things are like this, there will be no other options for Gu File Bang.
Since we don’t know what Jang Il-so and the fleet of Surochae that are moving east may do, we have no choice but to follow them first.
“Shouldn’t we move too?”
No matter what anyone says, the person who is most anxious right now is Hyeonjong.
These words were meant to guess his feelings, but surprisingly, King Hyeonjong did not specifically respond to those words and just stared at the boats on the river with stern eyes.
“Lord?”
When Tanggunak asked again, Hyeonjong opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“Matriarch.”
“yes. Lord Maeng.”
“What do you think the defeated army is aiming for?”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
What are you aiming for?
Hasn’t it already become clear what the defeated army is aiming for? After burning the fleet of Gufailbang and completely taking control of the Yangtze River…
“Aren’t you trying to cross to Gangbuk?”
“⋯⋯.”
Hyeonjong quietly shook his head.
“Would the defeated army really have done something like this for just that one person?”
“⋯⋯,”
At those words, Tanggunak’s mouth suddenly closed.
This certainly made sense. Until now, Jang Il-so has always aimed for more than they expected.
“But… Let’s just say that Jang Il-so can gain something from this…”
Old file room. Cheon Woo-maeng. Sapaeryeon.
The elites of the four forces gather in one place.
‘Oh, no.’
That’s not all. If their predictions are correct, there is a high possibility that the Cheongmyeong group heading north from Gangnam will also encounter them there.
In other words, it means that everyone who controls the destiny of the world will gather in one place.
‘What are you trying to do?’
A chill went down Tanggunak’s spine.
It may not be true for others, but if you are a defeated army, there will definitely be something you are trying to gain from the situation. Something they could never imagine.
But what the hell…
“We should hurry.”
“⋯⋯Yes. Lord Maeng.”
The fact that Gupilbang showed their movement is like an expression of its will to open the way for them to go east.
If so, you should move east first. No matter what happens, you won’t be able to respond if you’re not there.
“I will go to war within a corner. “Get ready.”
“yes!”
As Tanggunak hurriedly ran away, Hyeonjong closed his eyes tightly.
‘Cheongmyeong.’
The face of Cheongmyeong, smiling innocently, appears in his mind.
This is Cheongmyeong’s face, which always hid its true feelings with a smile.
‘Did you even foresee this situation?’
I couldn’t figure it out.
But I believe it will.
With this huge banquet of powerhouses, the only one who can sit on the other side of the defeated army is Cheongmyeong.
King Hyeonjong prayed that it would happen.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Baekcheon hit the floor and looked around with a stern expression.
A strong sense of strength swept all around, but there was no sign of an enemy in particular.
‘What happened?’
Not long ago, they attacked Sapa, who was nearly 30 years old, and ended his life. Even though he could have avoided it, he did it anyway.
However, no matter how much time passed, there was no sign of the border becoming stronger.
‘How can you not notice that people in their 30s have disappeared?’
That can’t be possible.
No matter how much a person is corrupted by the evil spirit, thirty is not a small number in any place.
This was especially true in a situation like now where the enemy was raiding the inside.
Then, based on common sense, something like this cannot happen…
Baekcheon slowly turns his head without realizing it. And at that moment, Baekcheon and Cheongmyeong’s eyes meet each other.
Baekcheon violently turned his head and tried to ignore Cheongmyeong’s eyes…
“Huhhhhh.”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s so strange, huh? I beat up 30 people, why don’t they throw a fit? “I definitely have to do that, huh?”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s not like the kids lost their eyes all of a sudden, huh? Isn’t that right, Green Forest King?”
“haha. “Why are you doing this?”
Lim So-byeong accepted those words with a grin.
“If the headmaster says that, then the person who was foaming at the mouth and struggling saying that we will all be ruined for messing with useless people will be very angry, huh? Doesn’t this make you feel very embarrassed? A gentleman is someone who does not care about other people’s difficulties. “You also need to know how to boldly move on.”
“I guess it’s like that, right?”
“Ahm. sure. Could it be that Deputy Jang Moon had malicious intent and opposed it while foaming at the mouth? It was all done with a good heart. Didn’t the sage also say that even if you blame malice, you shouldn’t blame stupidity? A wise dojo must understand.”
“Wow. “If you say it that way, then what?”
“sure. sure.”
Baekcheon’s hand holding the sword trembled.
What do ghosts do? Don’t catch those bastards.
Just one guy made me feel sick, but when I put two similar guys together, I felt like plum blossoms were dancing in my stomach.
“Tsk tsk. So he said that. “It’s because Taoist people can’t trust what people say.”
“Kang Hao’s morality has fallen to the ground, so who is to blame?”
“But Cheongmyeong.”
The moment Baekcheon was on the verge of having a seizure, Yoonjong naturally opened his mouth and changed the topic.
“Then did Gu File Bang really move?”
“okay.”
“why?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“⋯⋯.”
Yoonjong looks at Cheongmyeong with eyes like, ‘Why are there all these bastards?’
I know it’s coming but I don’t know why. Does that make any sense?
Cheongmyeong sees those eyes and laughs.
“There’s no reason I know of that would make the Great Bald move.”
“then?”
“It is true that if it is Jang Il-so, he will do whatever it takes to attract Gu Pail-bang.”
“⋯⋯.”
Cheongmyeong twisted the corner of his mouth.
A situation where all directions are blocked. This was the only way to get through this situation.
‘I’ve got all my cards. All that’s left is to fight.’
A bright blue life appeared in Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
