Episode 549
The wind blowing to the west (3)
Yeonwi’s face was particularly serious as he read the letter.
Zhuge Wenhu said.
“It seems like there may be a lot of worries about the number of years.”
“….”
“They say they have contacted the head of the party separately. Dang Ga-ju will probably go to Sacheon sometime today or tomorrow.”
“I guess so.”
Yeonwi took her eyes off the letter and stroked her chin.
“Have you received any special communication from Guangdong?”
“I was already planning to tell you about that. “They said that the situation in Guangdong has stabilized and the Uijeong-gun will return soon.”
Zhuge Wenhu asked curiously.
“But what about Uijeong-gun?”
“no. “It’s just that a thought suddenly occurred to me.”
Zhuge Wenhu knew. The committee has something else in mind.
But Zhuge Wenhu did not inquire further. Yeonwi was not the type of person to say right away when an idea occurred to him. I’ll let you know when it’s fully resolved.
“The good news is that Baek Byeong-shin’s Makwon decided to join us.”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“Master Yeon has done something great again.”
Yeonwi laughed bitterly.
“I feel reassured that I am doing my part well. “But…”
Yeonwi trailed off.
Zhuge Wenhu could guess what he wanted to say. Probably all parents with children feel the same way.
“I think we should first hold a meeting and share information.”
“Let’s do it.”
Yeonwi looked up at the sky.
‘Hey.’
It was fortunate that Yeon Ho-jeong was dispatched to Mukryongbu and was recognized.
However, they were being put into more and more dangerous work. Although I believed in my son’s abilities, I couldn’t help but feel worried.
He knew it too. Worrying about what will or will not be resolved will not change the outcome.
But isn’t that how people feel? Yeon Ho-jeong will probably worry the same when she gets to her age.
‘You must be safe.’
Yeonwi’s sigh rode the wind and headed west.
“….”
The official’s face as he read the letter was still expressionless.
Tang Sang-ah asked.
“Who is this letter from? From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like it comes from a family.”
The official responded by folding the letter.
“It’s cheap.”
“Daesoo Yeon?”
Tang Sang-ah tilted her head.
“What did Master Yeon do again…”
“It’s just a personal matter.”
The officer looked to the right. There, Dangyangseon was drinking tea with a calm expression.
For a moment, the magistrate’s eyes glowed with cool light and then became quiet.
“Yangseon.”
“Yes father.”
The voice was much more dignified than before.
The official nodded and said.
“Your skills have definitely improved. “Wherever the awkwardness from before has gone, my momentum has become very solid.”
A look of pride appeared on Dangyangseon’s face.
He knew very well that it would be difficult for such praise to come out of his father’s mouth. When my father says this, it means that it has really increased a lot.
“thank you.”
“Is your grandfather doing well?”
“I’ve only seen my father twice since he came to the Murim League.”
“twice.”
“yes. The last time I saw you was three months ago. “He still corrects it.”
“Yes…”
Dangyangseon asked in a slightly lowered voice.
“Have you ever contacted me separately?”
“does not exist.”
It was a cutting answer.
The sharp-edged answer was so decisive that Dangyangseon shrank his neck without even realizing it.
Dang Sang-ah said.
“Still, why don’t you try contacting me?”
Dangyangseon looked at her with somewhat stiff eyes. I thought that saying something like that in front of my father would make the atmosphere even more tense.
However, the response from the authorities was unexpected.
“There is no need to contact you.”

“But…”
“Anyway, the Murim Alliance is in a state of semi-return, so wouldn’t it be okay to go back to the family and take care of the family’s affairs at a time like this? “It would be nice to see your grandfather too.”
Tang Sang-ah and Tang Yang-seon’s faces were filled with surprise.
“Are you going back to your hometown?”
The official said while looking at Tang Sang’er.
“No matter how much you are in a half-moon state, it is impossible to not have at least one person from your family. “I’ll be back for a while, so you can stay behind.”
“My me?”
“You are still not good enough.”
The official quenched his thirst with a sip of tea and then spoke.
“But there is no perfect person in this world. Everyone grows by clashing with the world with a clumsy and clueless spirit. “I was like that and so was your grandfather.”
“….”
“Although it is still not good enough, your martial arts skills have reached a level where I can feel confident. What is important is insight, and unlike martial arts, insight is developed mainly through thorough experience.”
The official glanced at the window.
“I will speak to the head of the Yeonga family separately, so learn a lot from him.”
Tang Sang-ah was embarrassed.
“Can I do well?”
“Think of it as watching and learning. Gangho is rough. This is not a world where you can survive just by being strong in martial arts. “Take advantage of this opportunity to grow fully.”
Tang Sang-ah felt her father’s sincerity.
She lowered her head.
“Since my father said so, I will try my best.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The official stood up.
“Yangseon.”
“Yes father.”
Dangyangseon was inwardly very surprised.
He knew very well how much his father had rejected his sister. But what about now? Isn’t this a much gentler relationship than treating yourself?
I was so surprised that I didn’t even feel jealous. Dangyangseon couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Thank you for coming this far, but you have to go back to Sacheon with me.”
Dangyangseon bowed his head.
“Just looking around the Murim League is enough.”
“okay.”
The official nodded.
“We will leave tomorrow morning. “Get some rest.”
“Yes father.”
The party headed to visit.
Tang Sang-ah asked.
“Where are you going?”
The official answered as if he was throwing it away.
“Don’t you think you should at least buy the person who will take care of you a drink?”
* * *
“Whoa.”
Yeonwi smiled and brought a large bowl.
“You’ve waited a long time.”
The bowl on the table contained meat soup that looked quite appetizing.
The official frowned.
“Do you cook now?”
Yeonwi sat down and said.
“You know how to play Danggaju, right? If you travel alone, you are bound to find various types of food while sleeping on the street. That’s when I learned it.”
“It’s good because there are so many things you can do.”
“It seems like you don’t know much about cooking.”
“My family has a lot of money. “The attendants took care of it.”
“Haha, that’s your answer.”
The official smiled and picked up the bottle.
“One hundred weeks.”
“I know. So it’s surprising. “You said Baekju was not delicious, so why did you bring it?”
“For someone who is accustomed to cheap tastes, isn’t white liquor better than high-quality liquor?”
“ha ha ha!”
Yeonwi smiled and held out a glass. The official filled his glass.
The two people clinked their glasses and emptied them.
The official frowned.
“You wrote it dirty.”
“So, are you leaving right away tomorrow?”
“A fortune teller?”
“I don’t know Tang Family Lord?”
“I wish I knew more.”
Yeonwi filled the party’s cup without saying a word.
The official, who was quietly looking down at the glass, asked as if throwing it away.
“How do you feel?”
“hmm?”
“I was curious about what it feels like for someone who has succeeded in farming their children.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“Don’t you know the head of the party well? “It’s rare to find a child as good as Sang-Ah in today’s world.”
“Sang-ah… That’s right, she’s a dutiful daughter who never gave up on her ugly father.”
It was an unbecoming statement from our institution.
“The ivory grew up well on its own. Except when I was young, I never really paid attention to Ivory. In other words, you are not successful in farming your children. “The child will grow up on his own.”
The corner of the official’s mouth rose. It was a self-mocking laugh.
“But my son, whom I cared for and supported in my own way, has completely gone astray.”
“….”
“Honestly, I was shocked. I knew that his arrogance had gone too far, but ultimately that arrogance was based on trust and affection for his family. “He always thought his hometown was the best in Jungwon.”
“There is no one in the world who does not know that Sichuan Danga is the best in the martial arts world.”
“The best is the best. “It is the most vicious and scary family.”
“….”
Yeonwi was speechless.
The official touched the glass with both hands. It will really feel like your mind is collapsing.
“I never imagined that my son would be so foolish that he would be seduced by the enemy’s tricks.”
“….”
“And it makes me dizzy to think that not only Yang Seon but also some high-ranking figures in the main family may have been on the same boat as Yang Seon.”
It was a sight that was difficult to see. Yeonwi thought it was worth it.
The party’s faith in the party was close to faith. Probably most people in the party are like that.
The Tang family was such a closed family that it was difficult to even compare it to the majority of martial families in the martial world. Although they interact with the world, they are united in pride that their Tang clan is the best.
That belief was absolute, creating a vicious temperament that attacked anything even remotely related to the family.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current Sacheondang family was truly one kingdom.
Tang Gwan was the king of such a kingdom, and as a king, he was shocked.
“It’s my fault.”
The official said with a wry smile.
“Before I could make him realize that his hometown is the best, I had to tell him how rough and rough the world is. “Before I told you that my family’s martial arts were the best, I had to make you aware of how difficult it was to learn.”
“….”
“I taught everything backwards. Even when my son, who had grown up like that, got into all kinds of accidents, I thought to myself that his arrogance was definitely a necessary trait for the next head of the family.”
The official emptied his glass.
Yeonwi silently filled his glass.
“I think I am a worthy head of the family.”
“You are a great head of the family.”
“He may be a useful head, but he is not a useful father.”
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at him, emptied her glass and said.
“There are situations where no amount of regret is of any use. But there are other cases as well. “I think there are cases where if you regret something and try to fix it, you will definitely improve and develop.”
“….”
“And I think that the relationship between parents and children is clearly the latter.”
“My family is different.”
“It could be so. But maybe not. “You haven’t tried it yet, have you?”
“….”
“Both the head of the family and I are parents for the first time. “The beginning is always difficult and you are bound to encounter unexpected situations.”
Yeonwi once again filled the glass that was empty.
“Dang Gaju is a good person.”
“I don’t want to hear any lip service.”
“If you are the child of a good person like the head of the Tang family, the child will also inherit the good aspects of his parents. “Even if we went astray at one point, wouldn’t it get better if we get it right?”
“That sounds hopeful.”
“Aren’t we always dreaming of hope?”
The official looked down at his glass in silence and ate the meat soup.
“It’s bland.”
“Would you like some more salt?”
“It’s okay.”
The official, who had been eating meat soup several times, bowed his head in silence.
Yeonwi, who was quietly watching the restaurant, repeatedly emptied and refilled her glass.
The party official could not raise his head for a long time.
