Episode 1008
The two left Qinghai City together.
Since he was moving secretly, he did not encounter Kunlun faction warriors or other Sect faction thieves.
Instead of staying in a guesthouse, we camped.
“….”
There was no deep conversation.
Because what the two already shared was a secret deeper than anything else.
Just stories about the weather and people.
We just talked about the rumors about Kang Ho.
‘The secret history of the past from a martial arts novel has come true in front of me.’
In the novel, Jang Moon-in appears and dies after being stabbed with a sword after his past is revealed, but I just hope that doesn’t happen to Namgoong-woon.
“Regeneration balls are surprisingly similar to curing balls in some ways.”
“yes. That’s right. But you learn it quickly. Namgoong hyung.”
“It was easy to get the hang of it because it resembled the Emperor’s Ilqigong of the main family.”
Rather than waiting for the secret-revealing slaughter that may come at any moment, we are just teaching them the regeneration technique in advance.
‘If I can get stabbed in the back one day, wouldn’t it be okay to live even if I get stabbed in the back!’
Although it seems a bit crazy from Kang-ho’s perspective.
Anyway, ‘I didn’t know that you were the evil beast that killed my mother!’ And if you stab it hard.
After buying time and escaping with the rebirth technique, a messenger came from afar and said, ‘Your mother was a demonic sect and harmed many Namgung people, including your father! I will present Ilgwang Jin Cheon-hee as a witness!’ Couldn’t we try to have a conversation?
‘I’ve never seen a martial arts novel that goes like that. Anyway, isn’t survival important?’
Normally, in Gangho, if you get stabbed in the back like that, Jang Mun-in ends up falling forward.
And the ending is that he becomes an enemy of the clan for murdering Jang Mun-in and is chased for the rest of his life.
Jin Cheon-hee wanted to give Nam Gung-un time.
Time to clean your mouth.
“There is a way for strong players to look down on replay balls too much.”
“Honestly, I think it would be better to focus more on one sword rather than practicing something like this.”
“No matter how expert you are, you cannot know what will happen to a person. “Once you survive, you can do anything.”
Even if I were Hyeon-kyung, my neck was only half a span wide.
If you are stabbed by a believer, there is no answer.
“….”
Namgoongun’s eyes show a slight hint of agony.
This is probably because I have learned from a young age that it is better to die than to live in shame.
And that was also a powerhouse.
“And wouldn’t Namgung brother be alive to protect Namgung Soo as well? Since Joo Young-young is ‘missing’, the family will investigate why she went ‘missing’, and shouldn’t Namgoong be the one to do that? And is Elder Taesang a bit stubborn?”
“How does Jinyoung know whether my grandfather is persistent?”
“Why don’t you know? “It’s not the first time that we’ve engaged in an information war with the Zhuge family because of our interests.”
“….”
Namgoongun couldn’t answer those words and smiled bitterly.
It’s something that happens behind the scenes.
It also means that Namgoongwoon has not yet completely taken over the job of the head of the family.
So did he.
As the head of the family did not teach slowly over time like Dang-ah of the Sacheondang family, but suddenly took over, it was natural for him to move along with his grandfather, the great elder.
‘It’s not like Namgoongun receives all the reports.’
However, it was not because Elder Taesang was greedy for power.
If he wanted power, he could have just taken the position of the head of the family, and Namgoongwoon would have been enjoying his freedom, rather than expressing his dissatisfaction.
‘It’s just… it’s still unreliable.’
And since Namgung-woon is close to Jin Cheon-hee, if he knew about the information war with Baekrin’s office, wouldn’t the housemaster be able to be involved in the orders to be given later?
Namgoong Un is soft.
Although he is a realist, he has a soft side.
And the same goes for Jin Cheon-hee.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Well, please do your best for Sega rather than for me. “That’s how our friendship will be maintained.”
It’s not an overt stab in the back, but that level of behind-the-scenes information warfare is so common among powerhouses that even Jin Cheon-hee can easily ignore it.
And for me, Baekrin’s Pavilion comes first.
“…It’s a difficult thing to say, but I understand.”
A man became the head of a family and experienced the darkest side of the family.
It was Namgoong Un’s own choice, and it was something he had to risk his life for.
And Namgoong Woon himself is responsible for this.
That’s how life is.
No one can know how what we decide today will turn out tomorrow, next year, or the next year.
But still.
Jin Cheonhee smiled brightly.
“Namgoong will do well.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
We must protect Namgungsu.
And we must prevent the Sega from splitting up.
A family leader is someone who lives for that.
Sometimes you had to be prepared to get blood on your hands.
“Ah, today is pork stew.”
“Oh, are we finally free from porridge?”
“Namgoong needs to recover a little faster.”
So the two crossed over Cheonghae Province and arrived at Sacheon Province. And then we came back to Uibin and parted ways.
Jin Cheon-hee handed Namgung-un a letter addressed to Baekrin Uigak Bunta.
“Cover your face with a mask and enter through the back door. “I put my seal on it, so the loudest lawmaker will come out and take a look.”
“You covered your face to begin with, so you wouldn’t know who it was, right?”
“It’s like being careful one more time.”
“Thank you.”
Jin Cheonhee gave a small wink.
This is enough.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Next time, be sure to take the dark guards with you.”
“Didn’t I tell you that Grandpa has eyes and ears?”
“…That’s not it. It’s the matriarch’s bodyguard. Seize power and make it your own.”
“!”
Jin Cheon-hee looks at Nam Gung-un.
“I think Elder Taesang will also step aside only if Namgung truly tries to stand up on his own.”
“I don’t think you’ll get out of the way easily due to your grandfather’s personality.”
“I think overcoming that is the test of a true head of a family.”
“You are so cold-hearted. But… yeah… it’s not wrong.”
I had a hunch that my grandfather must have felt the same way.
Unless he takes power into his own hands or even tries to do so, he will never be a true head of the family.
At least that’s what my grandfather thought.
“Then I will go.”
“You’re heartless. Are you going already?”
Jin Cheonhee smiled slightly.
Namgoong Woon said.
“The Prince of Namgung said that what he wanted from Vigo was the design of objects and treasures, right?”
This is the Namgung family that is strong in organ control.
Maybe there is someone among our ancestors who left behind something good.
“yes. Even something trivial is okay. And what you need is information, so it doesn’t have to be authentic, just send a copy.”
Jin Cheon-hee’s Wonhyangban.
I was able to find Namgungun through the homecoming group. Jin Cheon-hee still doesn’t know what the principle is.
“You’re not asking for the item, but a copy of the design. If that’s the case, it’s easier to deceive your grandfather. But what if you can’t understand the design even by looking at it?”
“I can’t help it because it’s my fault.”
“You still want something strange. “Usually they ask for the item itself.”
“It’s done. “That kind of thing.”
Then he waved his hand once and started walking away.
Namgoongun stood there and watched until Jin Cheonhee was out of sight.
“Goodbye.”
Just as the longer the meeting, the better, the sooner the separation, the better.
This was especially true for secret matters like this.
Nothing happened between the two.
Nothing happened.
Nothing should have happened.
After Jin Cheon-hee moved away from Uibin, he returned the yellow sphere to its original size and immediately started moving.
The vast midfield swallowed a secret today.
* * *
At the same time, Zhuge Lin.
He sat in a small secret palace instead of the main palace hall.
Normally, Zhuge Lin should show respect in front of the emperor, but the emperor doesn’t seem to care that much, and Zhuge Lin himself doesn’t seem to care that much either.
Zegalin first presented the elixir.
Two elixirs.
After looking at the weak opening for a while, the emperor opened his mouth.
“Is this an elixir that the child made himself?”
“I’m sorry to tell you that, but that’s the case.”
The tone of voice is clearly polite, but for some reason, the look in the eyes is bright.
But has the man in front of me done that once or twice?
If it weren’t for his disciple’s work, he wouldn’t have come this far, and the emperor knows that he’s a bastard who will do anything if he’s upset.
And according to the information, the ‘what’ that Zhugelin does is not simply a matter of life and death, but ‘what’ that knows what it is to live in pain.
‘Why did that child take that guy as his teacher…’
However, that child met the last successor of the Zhuge family.
I thought that this too might be fate after all.
Originally, it wouldn’t have been strange if the child had died.
“It rained, right?”
“I just gave it a little water. your majesty.”
“Jim also saw the report and received it. It is said that he made it rain by boiling water with a magic trick… Even now, the magic method remains in place in Zhejiang Province.”
“You are truly clever.”
“….”
Are you kidding me?
Pung Ha-eun thought for three seconds.
Why is it that Geum-i is not there only in times like this?
“Good job. Uiguk Baek. “I think we should reward the merits of you and your disciple, Governor Jin Cheon-hee.”
“I’m just devastated.”
“I will recognize the entire Baeklin County as your family. Please rule that area well in the future.”
At those words, Jegalin showed his respect without changing his complexion.
“Hwang Eun is devastated.”
Obviously, the words and actions express gratitude, but why did Poong Ha-eun read, ‘I’m done with my business now, so please turn it off.’
At least I understand that the goal is to get off work early. And one more thing.
‘It means that he will never let his disciple face him easily.’
Since he had sent his disciple to do something like this, he meant that he should not even look at Jin Cheon-hee’s shadow.
It’s absurd, but isn’t it like Zhuge Lin is holding his student hostage and making fun of him?
Here, Zhugelin does not say another word.
“….”
It was also an unspoken pressure.
“…step back.”
Jegalin bows deeply and leaves.
After he completely left, Feng Ha-eun sighed.
“That guy’s face hasn’t changed at all.”
“Isn’t there a reason why he can’t move?”
“?!”
After looking at him in surprise, Pung Ha-eun sighed and pressed her head.
“Why on earth are you doing this now…”
“…It’s delayed because some officials caught us. Looking at what’s going on now, I’m starting to wonder if this is Baekrin’s ploy too?”
I think that might be the case.
A plan to capture the relatively easy-going Poong Ha-eun and finish her work before leaving work.
“But does it make sense to manipulate officials as if they were your pawns just to get off work early?”
“…First of all, I read their minds, but they had never even met Zhugelin. It was just that a few documents arrived later than usual… That…” “
…I guess it’s just for reporting now.”
“okay. “That’s fun, but it seems like Zhuge Lin knows the movements within the imperial palace.”
“…Is this a warning?”
A warning that he will not remain silent if his disciple is taken away from him.
Since they were emperors who loved plotting, they just left a warning through the same plot.
“And there’s one more thing.”
“hmm?”
“Don’t you know? At some point, Zhuge Lin became extremely careful not to get too close to this Feng Ha-jin. “It seems like there are memories that shouldn’t be read.”
“!?”
Pung Ha-eun looks at Pung Ha-geum with surprised eyes.
Fung Ha-geum clicked his tongue slightly.
“How come I’m usually good at scheming, but I’m not good at times like this. “Do you think she’s avoiding me because of some kind of memory?”
Then Poong Ha-eun turned her head and answered.
“…Looking at Zegalin’s temperament, it’s probably about his disciples. Memories of ‘that child’. “Maybe it’s secretly related?”
A secret that must never be revealed to us.
“okay. You can guess the numbers up to that point. I’ll probably avoid it until there’s a solid countermeasure against my ability to read memories. Jegalin’s essence is not a general but a tactician. “The priority of a strategist is to know the enemy and choose the terrain.”
“Do you want to contact the Seven Kingdoms of the Empire to find out a countermeasure to your supernatural ability?”
Pung Ha-geum nodded.
“Even so, there is no way I can do this with the Yang family, which has no interest in politics at all, or the Yuk family with General Yukheon. “As of now, the family with Gawan would have the highest probability.”
Everything to protect his disciples.
Against what?
And what on earth does Jegalin remember about ‘that child’?
“I’m going to avoid being alone for a while as much as possible. Even if I say I’m going to have a private meeting, I’m going to do it briefly and from a distance. And every time, I’ll be overwhelmed with a flood of incomprehensible work. “A vicious bastard.”
“Even if you choose, you are a bastard that even the Grim Reaper won’t pick up due to the flood of work. Still, there’s no way he wouldn’t know what an award it is to recognize the entire Baeklin Army as his family…”
“Because that isn’t that important to that bloody bastard anyway.”
“Tsk. “Even though Hwangsa is so talented, it’s difficult.”
Eunwangya laughs bitterly at those words.
Now that I have succeeded in doing something absolutely impossible, should I be satisfied with that?
“Let’s wait for the next opportunity.”
There is a lot of time.
“Even if they say Hyeollin is blocking it…”
“…Yes, ‘that kid’ is steadily coming towards us.”
The ranks of government officials are rising.
