Episode 471
‘Is that what you wanted in the end?’
I expected it to some extent.
If the King of Namgung announces his intention to participate in the war, it will most likely be for revenge.
Isn’t it said that a warrior’s resentment is deeper and longer-lasting than a woman’s resentment?
“I will tell the leader. “You will probably get a positive response.”
“I understand.”
“However, I cannot promise that I will capture the White Faced Reaper alive and offer him up. “As you know, the head of the family, he is too talented to let matters be in his hands.”
“I am just asking you to hand it over if you are captured alive, and I have no intention of imposing unreasonable conditions. Personal feelings should not interfere with the fight that will determine the fate of the Baekdo martial arts team.”
Fortunately, Namgung-ho was a sensible person.
At least it seemed that our troops would not be in danger due to the Namgung family.
“If you receive the Lord’s approval, I will personally lead the family’s warriors to the battlefield.”
“······Are you serious?”
“There is no reason for me to joke in this situation.”
Beyond surprise, I felt embarrassed.
Namgung-ho is a talented person who ranks among the top 100 masters.
As the head of the Namgung family, known as the famous sword family, he was renowned as a master of the perfect sword technique.
It was clear that he would be of great help if he participated in the battle.
‘but.’
Still, it was true that I felt like I had made an unreasonable decision.
Even so, the Namgung family lost the main force of the family, but what if the head of the family also lost his life on the battlefield?
There was no need to say how big the aftermath would be.
Sure enough, Namgunggeum jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Matriarch! “What do you mean!”
“To be able to discern the time and situation. “It is not your place.”
“but!”
“Don’t forget that you are here now as a member of the Cheonan Kambu, not as the head of the Changgung Sword Team.”
“······.”
Namgung Geum’s lips were tightly shut.
After confirming that he reluctantly sat down, I made eye contact with Namgung-ho and said,
“I don’t think there is any need for the head of the family to move it himself.”
“Anyway, there is no one behind the Namgung family. Everyone knows that if we lose the remaining power, our family fortune will decline significantly. “In a situation like this, should I, the best power of the family, just sit back and wait and see what happens?”
Namgung-ho was saying this now.
Anyway, whether he lives or dies, it has no significant impact on the rise and fall of his family.
In that case, wouldn’t it be better to lead the troops directly and minimize the damage Gasol will suffer?
‘It makes sense, but…’
In the end, it was just a difference in perspective.
Namgung-ho chuckled as he saw me drooling.
“More than anything, now I have a successor.”
Looking at his expression, it seemed like his intentions were already firm.
No matter what I said here, he wouldn’t back down.
I was just an outsider to begin with, so what justification could I have for dissuading him?
It was decided to discuss the composition and size of the support force in detail later.
After leaving the housekeeper’s office, my teammates and I were guided by Namgung Seong-hun, who was waiting outside, and headed to the accommodation provided by Sega.

“It’s finally time.”
“Are you really planning on doing this?”
“I don’t know why you’re showing weakness now. “Have you been preparing hard all this time?”
“I agree with you that the Cheonan Inspector General should no longer be allowed to set things up as he pleases. But no matter what, timing is timing, isn’t it?”
“That’s why we have to move now. “You know that, right?”
“That’s true, but I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.”
“Be strong. “Everything is to correct the discipline of the Meng and reverse the wrongdoings.”
The senate within the Murim League.
A pavilion located on a pond where golden carp swim.
The old man, Yeongseong Dojang, encouraged the people around him with a powerful voice.
Taeyeon Geom (太延劍), who was leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, snorted inwardly.
‘You speak well.’
The elders put their heads together to reduce the position of the Cheonan Inspector General and remove him from his position.
The sight of them gathered here in the pavilion could not have seemed so pitiful.
Of course, not long ago, he was also hostile to the head of the Cheonan Inspectorate.
However, it was within the scope of not crossing the line.
‘Spirituality seal. In the end, you cross the irreversible river.’
In the meantime, they report the corruption committed by the Cheonan Inspector General and condemn his crimes, damaging his reputation and reputation.
It may be hard to believe how much of a blow it can be to just report corruption, but Cheonan Inspector General was basically a department to protect the discipline of the government.
Yeonsun was the head of the Cheonan Gambu.
Therefore, the spiritual dojo seemed to think that it could impose stricter standards.
“Once distrust is instilled in the world, everything from now on will be easy. The reason why Director Cheonan-gam currently receives absolute support from the bandits is because of his achievements and heroic actions. But what if there are cracks in them?”
“······.”

“From now on, all the elders have to do is apply systematic pressure to push him into a corner. “It’s not that difficult.”
It wasn’t a bad plan.
Since I was doing what I was supposed to do, there were no moral issues.
The problem was the timing of the operation.
The commander-in-chief had fallen and was preparing for an all-out war.
At a time like this, what can we do by dethroning an irreplaceable force that can stand against the Demon Cult Lord?
Not only would the morale of our troops fall, but in the worst case, we might have wasted a golden opportunity to end the war.
There must be some degree of protecting one’s own food.
‘If you look at history books, you can often find countries that fall due to internal strife in the face of foreign enemies. ‘They are just the right pair.’
If you think about it another way, you could see that they were concentrated to the point where they had to resort to such petty tactics.
Of course, these intentions were not to be revealed externally.
The reason he can be in this position is because he is pretending to have participated in the spiritual dojo’s plan.
[Keep in mind. Don’t open your mouth needlessly and just watch the discussion they are having. No one will doubt you as long as you nod your head occasionally and say something.]
[······Isn’t worrying too much?]
[I said it before, but you have no talent for acting. Don’t be rude and listen to me. If you put your motivation first, you will get caught quickly.]
[Okay, so let’s stop there. There will be scabs on my ears.]
The conversation I had with Ho Jeong-kwon earlier flashed through my mind.
When I remembered that I had received so much attention, I felt a bit bad.
I can’t believe I should be treated like a child thrown out onto the water at this age.
‘But this advice was given out of concern for me.’
Originally, he wasn’t the type of person to talk much.
Everyone here knows that the Cheonan Inspector General and himself have been in conflict for a long time.
As Ho Jeong-kwon said, if you are careful about what you say, you won’t be caught.
“You just need to support me. “I will take on the role of taking the lead.”
Ling Xing Dojang placed a bundle of documents on the table.
All of these were materials to prove the corruption of the Cheonan Inspector General.
In addition to the circumstantial evidence of backroom deals being made to facilitate the absorption of the inspection department and the law enforcement party, there was a variety of other things.
“It was worthwhile to continue my research, and I recently received some new information.”
“Something?”
“I found out where he financed his activities when he was the head of the Sichuan branch.”
Yeongseong Dojang raised the corner of his lips and spoke, waving a document in his hand.
Taeyeon Geom, who strengthened her eyes and checked the contents at least in outline, clicked her tongue.
“Tell me in a little more detail.”
“At a time when he still lacked a foundation, circumstances were discovered in which he enriched himself by receiving payment from the martial arts family of the Black Island. “Maybe he had a relationship with them even before he started working as the Sacheon branch president.”
“Huh.”
“Now that I no longer regret money, it seems like I have cut ties with them and erased all traces of them, but you can’t cover the sky with your palm.”
“He may be the hero of a political faction or something, but in the end, he was also a greedy human being. “He was greedy for wealth and colluded with the Black Island.”
Hogundo, an elder from the Hebei Paeng family, burst into laughter.
Taeyeon Geom, who was handed the document, examined the contents with narrowed eyes.
I wondered how they found out about this, and it seemed like they mobilized the monk’s disciples.
The activity area of the Cheongseong faction, which is the origin of the Yeongseong dojo, is Sacheon.
If the disciples of the Cheongseong Sect had decided to go around and investigate, it would not have been an easy task to find out the past of Director Cheonan-gam.
‘surely. The Cheonan Inspector General is not a very clean person either.’
However, if there was anyone who suffered unfairly due to his actions, it was not the case.
As I looked through the materials collected by the Youngseong Dojang, I got to know a little more about Yeon Yeon-un.
Although he sometimes appears to compromise with injustice, all he has done so far was ultimately to walk the right path.
‘Honestly, this level is cute compared to the corruption committed by elders.’
They say charcoal is black wood.
I felt bitter as I watched the elders excitedly belittling the Cheonan Inspector General.
Although he was a senior himself, he could not deny the fact that the current Senate was rotten.
‘Well, in the end, I’m no different from them. ‘I’ve been consciously looking away.’
As my position changed, my perspective also changed.
From the perspective of a third party, he would only be seen as the same type of human being as them.
Thinking like that made me feel a little sad.
“I will inform you again. The due date is two days later.”
“······.”
“I will present the evidence I have gathered at the meeting hosted by the leader and at the same time spread the rumor throughout the Murim Alliance.”
A light momentarily flashed in Ling Xing Dojang’s eyes.
Hogundo cleared his throat at the venom mixed in his voice and slowly turned his head.
In fact, it was an operation based on the sacrifice of Youngseong Dojo.
If he had not been consumed by resentment and decided to commit suicide, he would have had a hard time gathering people, let alone progressing the work.
“Let’s leave the heavy talk here and raise our glasses.”
To brighten the mood, Youngseong Dojo changed the topic.
As he raised his glass over his head, the other elders followed suit.
“For the future of Meng.”

Accommodation for VIPs of the Namgung family.
I was lying on my bed, staring up at the ceiling in a daze, quietly closing my eyes and muttering.
‘It’ll start soon.’
I knew all about the plans of the Youngseong Dojo, having heard about them through Taeyeon Sword.
Of course, we were fully prepared for that.
I thought of the conversation I had with Gojeong-kwon and how to respond, and a faint smile appeared on my face.
[Your thoughts are not bad, but I feel a little disappointed.]
[is it?]
[It doesn’t suit my temperament to wait patiently for the opponent to do something and then launch a counterattack.]
[Then tell me what you think. Is there any other good solution?]
[It was said to be a victory for the first time. Why not take action here first?]
[······?]
[An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. A war of public opinion after a war of public opinion.]
[······!]
[Sorry to say this to Youngseong Dojang, but the world is on my side, not on his side. The opponent is trying to jump into a battlefield where he is at a disadvantage, so there is no reason for us to refuse that.]
martial arts,
