Side Story Episode 21
Yeon(緣)
Baek Seung-moo sent all the Baekga Sangdan warriors who had escorted him back to the top.
They protested fiercely, but when Baek Seung-moo added, ‘I have no intention of overturning the order,’ he shot Seomrang once and left without a word.
Now it is Baek Seung-moo’s turn to leave.
As I was heading to the dock while unfolding the Divine Law, Seomrang, who was running next to me, suddenly praised me.
“I guess you’re good at dealing with people.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“There is a lot of recognition.”
“Does it look like that?”
Seomrang chuckled.
“They evacuated everyone because they were afraid something might happen.”
“I’ve been caught without a move, so shouldn’t I let others go?”
When Baek Seung-moo smiled bitterly, Seomrang laughed cheerfully.
“haha. Rest assured that everything will be fine.”
“Sahyeong always said that and then did something ridiculous.”
“What are the results?”
“As it turns out, there was a good reason for that. “She had to go through a lot, but it always ended well.”
“also. “You’re just like me.”
“It is true that you have worn out your death penalty a lot.”
“ha ha ha. No matter how you look at it, it’s true, right?”
As Seomrang was happy, Baek Seung-moo emphasized it heavily.
“When the time came, he explained why he did what he did. “I believe you will too.”
“yes? “I was actually planning to go to the imperial palace to eat.”
“… … “It’s really similar.”
“ah. This will do. “Let’s look at the results and give a reason, okay?”
“… … indeed. “You deserve the death penalty.”
“Look. “That’s what everyone in her mouth says.”
Baek Seung-mu shook his head and unfolded the divine law.
As time passed and I arrived at the dock, I saw that the Yangtze River Waterway First Transportation Company’s express ship was anchored.
As Seomrang followed Seomrang and flew the new model and landed on the deck, the captain approached Baek Seung-moo and wrapped his arms around him.
“Welcome, Danju. “Welcome aboard my ship.”
Baek Seung-mu also returned the favor, looking at the captain closely.
“It’s been a while, leader. “Seeing that you are not surprised when I come here unexpectedly, I guess the owner of the house who left Agyangru before stopped by.”
“He just sent someone to deliver the news. “I heard you don’t feel like stopping by here.”
It was referring to the fact that King Su felt despondent after encountering Seomrang’s divine status and decided to retreat.
The captain continued speaking with a stern expression.
“It looks like the wind will blow on the Yangtze River for a while. “I hope there will be no draft until the wind calms down.”
It means not to exert influence in any way until the King of Su decides on a successor and the successor takes control of the eighteen quarters of the Yangtze River.
Seungmoo Baek slightly nodded his head and opened his mouth.
“If the wind blows from multiple directions, your hair gets tangled and you end up having to use both hands to sort it out, so what the leader said is correct.”
The captain’s expression softened when he said that not only the Baekga Sangdan but also the Namgung family would not do anything.
Seungmoo Baek asked how he was doing to change the mood.
“By the way, did you have any regrets?”
“… … .”
The captain, who was the commander of the eighteen ships on the Yangtze River and was called the Yangtze River Captain, glanced at Baek Seung-mu and pointed at someone.
“Is that possible?”
“Hmm. “I’m sorry for my slip of the tongue.”
“Wait a minute, what does that mean? “What’s wrong with me?”
Seomrang, who was quick-witted, was dumbfounded, but no one took his side.
Even the demons did the same, and Yeon Gyu-seo went into the cabin with a bright smile, and Dan Seong-oh ordered the members of the Mukyeong team to be on guard in all directions and settled down behind Seomrang.
“This is it.”
Seomrang clicked his tongue and looked back.
“What are we going to do now?”
Dan Seong-oh glared with burning eyes and responded.
“I’m in the process of escorting the leader of the Little Church.”
“Rather than protecting you, you’re looking for an opportunity to stab yourself in the back? “The other guys aren’t just being wary of their surroundings, they’re surrounding me.”
“I guess it’s because of my mood. Even if that were the case, how could useless things like us harm the Lord of Xiaojiao?”
“What else can I say?”
Seomrang sighed softly and patted Dan Seong-oh on the shoulder.
“I’m upset because I went a little early. “It would be better to stay in the cabin like Gyu-seo and cry quietly. What will change if you complain about being so lonely?”
“… … !”
What’s wrong?
Dan Seong-oh was in tears and was about to retort, but the captain gave an order to the sailors.
“We are setting sail!”
“under!”
As the sailors were busy, Seomrang also headed to his cabin.
“This is quite tiring. “I’ll go in and get some sleep.”

“… … .”
He says he’s going to sleep, but I can’t follow him.
Dan Seong-oh became like a dog chasing a chicken, and he looked up at the sky and ground his teeth.
Crackling-
The sound of teeth grinding was so loud that while Baek Seung-moo was holding back his laughter, a person sneakily approached him and showed his respect.
“Lee Kwan-hwi meets Prince Geum. “Please forgive me for not being able to say hello to you because I was in a hurry.”
“It’s okay, Gyeolryong. Have you been well… … Oh my, I’m sorry. “I made a mistake again.”
“It’s bearable, so don’t worry about it.”
When Lee Kwan-hwi laughed bitterly, Baek Seung-mu looked up with a straight face.
“That’s a good thing, but since it’s confidential, I can’t tell you everything you’re curious about. Mannoe (萬腦) will contact the Murim Alliance soon, so please be patient.”
“Then I ask you just one thing. Why did you board this ship?”
“Huh. I thought King Nang was going to ask why he came to Ayangru, but he got straight to the point. Yes, you should know this much.”
Seungmoo Baek’s voice sank low.
“It is to go to the imperial palace with the leader of the Heavenly Demon God Church and see the emperor.”
“… … “The emperor?”
“That’s it. “Are you okay?”
“… … .”
Is there any way it will be okay?
Lee Kwan-hwi’s complexion turned pale.
It was because of his father who would be by the emperor’s side rather than the absurd fact that Majin, who would one day lead the world’s greatest evil cult, was about to meet the emperor.
Baek Seung-mu also had a close relationship with Yoo Jeong-pung, so he knew clearly what family his student came from and whose child he was, so he made a suggestion softly.
“I can play the role of a guide. “I will explain it well so that the owner of the small boat can understand it, so prepare to disembark at the next anchorage.”
“then… … .”
Lee Kwan-hwi was about to agree without realizing it, but he trailed off and bit his lower lip.
‘Damn it. I can’t keep running away like this.’
One day, the day will come when you will have to stand in front of your father. Wouldn’t it be better to think that now is the time and face the challenge yourself rather than putting yourself in that situation by someone else’s will?
I straightened my back and opened my chest.
“Daehyeop, thank you for your words, but I will not avoid you.”
Baek Seung-moo smiled happily.
“As expected, Irip… … My words came out in vain. He deserves to be selected for Guryongsabong even though he is not even young. “If Yu Daehyup had heard, he would have been happy that he raised his disciple well.”
Lee Kwan-hwi, who had contorted his unusually mature face, widened his eyes at Baek Seung-moo’s next words.
“Now that I think about it, it would be uncomfortable for me, an old person, to join in. Since this has come to an end, please take good care of Sogyoju like you have done so far. “I’ll be stuck in the cabin.”
* * *
Seomrang sat on the horse, looked around and was amazed.
“Oh oh. When I entered Hebei Province, it was just like that, but when I got to Yongqing County, it was definitely different. Perhaps because it is a place where there is a panga, it is very busy. Isn’t that right, Baek Dae-hyeop?”
Baek Seung-mu rode his horse slowly next to Seomrang and sighed.
“It’s kind of like that.”
“That manor you see in the distance is a panga, right? “Maybe it’s because it’s from a rich family, so it’s big.”
When Seomrang started talking again, Baek Seung-moo held back and asked.
“Let me ask you something. Why do you keep talking to me all the way here? “Isn’t Gyeolryong more comfortable?”
“I’m going to talk to this small cooperative too.”
“The ratios are so different, so what? “Compared to me, it’s only about one-tenth.”
Lee Kwan-hwi, who was following behind, laughed quietly as if it was ugly, but Seomrang was serious.
“That’s because we talked a lot before meeting Daehyeop. Moreover, Daehyup has a deep relationship with me.”
“… … “Are you talking about the death penalty?”
Seomrang looked up at the western sky with a sad face.
“yes. “Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen you in a long time, but Daehyeop, the priest of Daein, feels familiar to me.”
“… … .”
What can I do when he says something like that with an expression like that?
Baek Seung-moo changed his mind and changed the topic.
“The Paeng family has a deep connection with the imperial family. “Jeondae Sanggaju, who passed away a few years ago, was someone whom the Emperor had looked upon as his teacher since he was the Crown Prince.”
“I know.”
“… … .”
“Is there anything else besides what Uncle Zhao said?”
I put a lot of effort into it and treated him kindly, but he criticized me!
Baek Seung-mu engraved patience deeply into his heart.
“The head of the Paeng family has become the Murim lord and is in the Murim alliance, so I will have to ask the Taesang family, who was the previous Murim lord, to do it.”
“To be the leader for generations. Panga, things are going well.”
It’s just going well.
From his influence in the martial arts community to the support of the common people, the emperor’s deep trust, and the enormous wealth he earned through his business with the Moyong Segawa.
The Hebei Peng family was enjoying the peak of its family history.
“Paengga is not a place to be taken lightly.”
“I guess so.”
“But the current head of the family was seriously injured in the Great War that broke out twenty years ago.”
“Oh my.”
“His father, the current Taesang family, cannot help but feel good about the Heavenly Demon Church. “Do you understand what I mean?”
“He won’t listen to me even if I ask him to let me see the emperor, so you’re telling me to hold a blade to his throat and threaten him?”
“… … .”
Baek Seung-mu engraved countless people with patience.
“I think it would be best to part ways here. “Go straight to the imperial palace and secretly climb over the wall.”
“haha. What do you think of me? It’s Nong, Nong. “Don’t worry, I will be courteous to the Taesang family.”
“Think again. “Is there really a need to go to Panga?”
“yes. “I was planning on doing that anyway.”
“hmm? “For what purpose?”
“I would like to meet and say hello to Daein’s indefinite disciple.”
“… … !”
Baek Seung-mu frowned and opened his mouth, but Seomrang’s eyes lit up.
“What are those people? “The colors are unique.”
People dressed in leather were driving horses out of Panga Manor.
Seungmoo Baek looked at them approaching and nodded.
“People from Liaoning Province.”
“Is it Moyongse? “The energy it gives off is messy.”
“There is a group called Roninhyang (浪人香), a group of ronin who surrendered to the death penalty in the past. There is a place called Bichōhoe (飛草會) that unites demonic forces and foreigners. “The two organizations merged to form the Bi-horse Club, and they must be people from there.”
“ah! “They are people I have a connection with.”
“… … “What does that mean?”
“Hey, you know.”
Seomrang rode his horse quickly and approached them.
“Hello, my name is Seomrang.”
When a stranger approaches, the Bimahoe warriors stop their horses, stand guard, and then open their eyes wide.
The rumor that Seomrang had entered the central plain did not spread to Liaoning Province, but it was heard in the Peng family.
The stubble-beaked old man in the lead muttered as if groaning.
“Che, the small sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Church?”
“what? You know very well. “Who are you?”
Tubseokbeak replied with a stiff face.
“This is Lee Hyang-ju and Oh Sang-rok from the Bima Association.”
Seomrang’s eyes widened.
“You weren’t really a stranger. “You have achieved success.”
“Do you know me?”
“Sure. “He was a member of the Samhyang division of Jejudang under the command of Nambangjang.”
“Well, how do you do that!”
“I know because I heard it. How is the person who was the head of the daily mission? “She said she was like a strict mother-in-law.”
“omg! He, he is now the head of the outhouse.”
“Hey. I hope everything worked out well. “I hope you will like it.”
“Who is Daein again?”
“Who are you? You are the owner of Daexingjang in Liaoning Province.”
“ah! True Jade Dragon!”
Seomrang smiled and asked.
“Daeheungjang is well managed, right?”
“You really don’t know anything. “Of course.”
“What are you stopping by at Paengga?”
There was no reason to respond, but demons with a terrifying aura were approaching from behind Seomrang.
“Bo, this association is cooperating with the Moyong family and doing business with the Paeng family. “We are leaving after transporting furs and medicinal materials from Liaoning Province.”
“That’s right, I heard things there are that good?”
Even though he was afraid, Tubseokburi straightened his shoulders.
“Yes, the ones from Liaoning Province are the best.”
Seomrang shook his head and said to himself.
“Then the people at our school should also use it. “Moyongsega and Bimahoe should also be included in the business.”
“… … !”
What does this mean again?
It didn’t seem like a good story at all, so Tubseokburi was fidgeting, but Baek Seungmu sighed and approached.
“There were a lot of rude examples. “I call him Baekseungmu of the Baekga Sangdan.”
Tubseokburi’s face brightened as if he had met Buddha in the Infinite Hell.
“You must have been golden. I have heard of your reputation. “It is an honor to meet you.”
“Me too. Then go carefully.”
“… … “Suddenly what?”
When Baek Seung-mu waved his hand and pointed at Seomrang, who was deep in thought, Tubseokburi only understood and left quietly with his subordinates.
And after a while.
Seomrang seemed to have gathered his thoughts and pointed to Paengga Manor.
“What are you doing? Let’s go.”
“I understand.”
When they reached the manor, the sturdy warriors guarding the main gate touched the dopa and asked Baek Seung-mu.
“Baek Dae-hyeop, who are these people?”
Seomrang was faster than Baek Seungmu.
“Seomrangyo, is Lord Taesang here?”
“… … !”
As the warriors took out their whistles and blew, many people poured out of the manor.
Seomrang was amazed to see the first one among them to come out.
“As expected, Panga. “They say she can’t be deceived by her blood, and she is also strong.”
A middle-aged woman opened her mouth, clutching the huge yam sword she was carrying on her back.
“I don’t inherit the blood of the Paeng family, but I am from the Paeng family.”
“yes? how?”
The middle-aged woman glared at Seomrang and answered in a loud voice.
“A marriage called a kite among kites. I am Moyong Susu. “For what purpose has the demon of demons come to my home?”
