Episode 235. We Must Share Rise and Fall
The inauguration ceremony of Cheonjimaeng has been completed.
The Jeongsa faction masters who had been standing there blankly scattered back to their residences.
Unlike other inauguration ceremonies, there was no chanting or encouraging.
It turned out that way because there was no ideal to pursue together other than the common enemy of the famous religion.
Only the leader, the musketeers, the grand lord, and the guardians moved to continue the meeting.
The leader of the Mugeuk Sect, Mu-geuk Sang-in, once again expressed his gratitude to the guardians of the Jeongsa faction.
“… … I hope that there will be no more unnecessary conflicts between the political and social factions. The General will take care of the future schedule. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask the General or me at any time.”
After the Mugeuk merchant bowed to the guardians, he stepped back.
Next, the general, Shin Gi-su-sa, Jegal Seung-un, stepped forward.
“We will continue to change the names of the four divisions of the old Justice Alliance. From now on, the Cheokmadae will be called the Cheongryongdae, the Myulsadae the Baekhodae, the Uigidae the Jujakdae, and the Cheonchudae the Hyeonmudae.”
Zhuge Liang glanced at the four great lords.
The reason for changing the name is that it is no longer possible to use the terms ‘Chukma Myeol Sa’ and ‘Ui Gi Cheon Chu’.
The four major shareholders nodded as if they understood.
It’s a bit of a shame, but now that we’ve formed an alliance with Sapa, that name isn’t appropriate.
However, what is difficult to understand is that the Baekho-dae and Hyeonmu-dae will not be reorganized.
Why were they left alone when there were only thirty or forty of them?
As if answering that question, Jegal Seung-un continued speaking.
“The reason I didn’t reorganize the Baekho-dae and Hyeonmu-dae is because the solidarity between the four factions is stronger than ever. Even though the four factions are divided, most of them will act together, so the size of the number doesn’t really matter.”
Zhuge Liang spoke briefly to convey his message clearly.
The four major shareholders were silent when they heard that they would act together.
Perhaps he did not raise an objection due to his pride as one of the top ten masters in the world.
Just as the sword king Namgung Byeok of the old Jeongui Alliance in Nanjing quietly followed Zhuge Liang’s decision.
This time, Zhuge Liang’s gaze turned to Yukmagun.
“Thanks to the great determination of the Green Forest, a hundred masters of the Safa also participated. The fact that the number of masters of the Green Forest and Safa has exceeded four hundred and sixty is entirely thanks to the Six Demons. I’m sure it will increase further in the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.”
The six demon lords nodded with arrogant faces.
There are less than three hundred members in the political party, but now there are four hundred and sixty. It’s understandable to feel the strength in your shoulders.
“I will divide the Green Forest and Sapa masters into three generations. Since the Dharma Guardians will know better than anyone, please let them know after forming the three generations. I have decided to name each generation as Tae-mi-dae, Jam-i-dae, and Cheon-sidae. If there are no objections, then let’s… … .”
Tami, Jami, and Cheonsi are taken from the three circles of the twenty-eight constellations that represent the constellations.
They elevated the green forest to the center of the sky, but it must have been quite difficult for the green forest people.
It was the Hyeoncheonjin Army that started the fight.
“We do not know profound words, so let us go easily. Please do it for the three generations of heaven, earth, and man.”
Jegal Seung-un answered with a trembling face.
“Okay, I’ll go with Cheonjiin. Please form the three generations of Cheonjiin today, and tell me who the great lords are. Thank you.”
As the meeting was coming to an end, Won Yang-jin, the leader of the Cheongseongpa faction, asked.
“General, what is the solution to the ongoing internal strife within the Cheonji Alliance in Chilihachon?”
“Oh, I was going to talk about that part anyway. We currently have a patrol team comprised of the best of the Jeongsa faction, but it is ineffective and will be disbanded. Instead, we will create a formal reconnaissance unit and operate it permanently.”
When he heard the words, “We will create a reconnaissance unit and operate it permanently,” Yukmagun frowned but did not object.
They also wanted to prevent unnecessary fighting between the Safa and Jeongpa.
Zhuge Liang, after glancing at the expression on Liu Majun’s face, continued speaking.
“I think the patrol team will be recommended among the elders of the Chilpai clan and the thirty-six debtors. I think that only with that level of inaction can we handle the situation on the spot.”
With the agreement of the Chilpae clan chiefs and the Yukma army, an inspection team was established on the spot.
Then, Zhuge Liang brought up the words he had been holding back.
“Finally, there is one thing to take care of. Our Cheonjimaeng must deal with the monsters that have appeared in Cheonmunsan and Seobiha. Now that the famous religion is quiet, it is the right time. If there is someone who can help, please let me know. If not, I will designate someone.”
The warlords’ gaze turned towards the Mugeuk Merchant and the Mugyeongdoje Jang Mu-deok.
Originally, it was Baekho-dae and Hyeonmu-dae who started the fight, so they should handle it.
But it is questionable whether they, who are only about 30 years old, can do it.
Of course, the newly created Jemadae will provide support, but I still feel uneasy.
Mugeuk Sangin and Jang Moo-deok also thought about it and did not step forward to do it.
It would be natural for him to volunteer if he thought about his reputation as one of the top ten masters in the world, but he would be at a loss if he failed again, as he would not be able to show his face.
A look of laughter appeared on the faces of the six horsemen watching the scene.
It was pathetic to see the so-called top ten masters evading their responsibilities.
Even the nobleman laughed and said, “Huh!”
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
A flustered Zhuge Liang quickly stepped forward to manage the situation.
“If no one volunteers, I will designate someone for you.”
At that time, Yi Cheon-geom-jon, Yi Ui-jeong, said.
“The Blue Dragon Corps will provide support. We have never faced a monster before, so I think it will be a good experience.”
“Our main force has sufficient personnel and experience in extermination, so we will support you.”
Even King Namgung Byeok of the Sword came forward.
Jegal Seung-un glanced at Namgung Byeok with complicated eyes.
I was planning to send the main force anyway in case there was no one to volunteer.
But when I step forward on my own, I feel a little weak.
“Then I will leave the control of the demons to the Cheongryongdae and Jujakdae. Cheongryongdae will take care of Cheonmunsan, and Jujakdae will take care of Sabiha. I will send the head of Jemadae to the two lords, so please discuss the detailed schedule with them.”
“Okay.”
“That’s right.”
That concluded the meeting.
All the guardians of the Jeongsa faction left, leaving only the leader and the musketeers in the conference room.

The merchant, who was looking through the minutes with a complicated expression, asked.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to reorganize the four major divisions?”
If that were the case, Cheonmunsan would have volunteered.
I thought it was impossible with only about thirty people, so I held back, even though I was embarrassed.
Even after the meeting was over, I still felt regretful about it.
“As I said, it was because the solidarity of the four generations was strong. The four generations had to rise and fall together.”
A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the Mugeuk Merchant, who was absentmindedly nodding his head.
The saying, ‘The four generations must share in the rise and fall of a country’ struck me with significance.
I heard good things, but I don’t know why my heart feels cold.
***
Cheonjimaeng Jeongju branch.
The Namgung family’s lodging.
The Namgung family, which had been as quiet as a temple, became noisy due to Yeonjeokha’s sudden visit.
Most of the commotion was caused by Namgungcheon.
“Everyone! The enemy has arrived! Yeon-ah! Father! Come out and look! The enemy has arrived!”
Namgungcheon’s face turned red at her fuss.
But I couldn’t say anything to him because I really liked him and he didn’t know what to do, so I just watched.
Soon, the door opened and Namgung Byeok and Namgung Yeon came out.
“Are you the enemy? You really look just like your father. Come in.”
Namgung Yeon just smiled next to his father.
After bowing his head to his rival Namgung Byeok and greeting him, he took off his shoes on the step and went up to the veranda.
Only then did Namgung Yeon approach and whisper a greeting.
“Come in.”
“… … .”
He couldn’t face her and just scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
As Yeonjeokha sat down, Namgungbyeok smiled and said.
“Yes, I heard the story through Cheon-i and Yeon-i. They said you had a hard time at Waryongjang?”
“What hardship? There are many people who practice closed-door meditation.”
Namgung Byeok nodded at Yeonjeokha’s positive remarks.
“Yes, I guess it’s okay to think that way. I should have checked on you more often. I’m sorry. But since you grew up well, your parents in the afterlife will be happy.”
“… … .”
When the topic of parents came up, Yeon-jeok had nothing to say and just remained silent.
“Oh, by the way, I heard that you cleared out the Ten Horsemen of the Green Forest. Can you tell me what happened?”
“Oh, yes. Here’s how it happened.”
The story of searching for wild vegetables and water lilies flowed out smoothly from Yeonjeokha’s mouth.
“… … At that time, three Taoist priests appeared and helped me. I think they were the Kunlun Three Immortals. Anyway, if it weren’t for them, I would have had a hard time.”
The lover was showing off a little.
Namgung Byeok, who had been listening with a serious face, pointed to the sword hanging from Yeonjeokha’s waist.
“Is that sword the Waryong Sword?”
“This? It’s just a sword. It has ‘Warryong’ written on the blade, but… … .”
Yeonjeokha tilted her head.
Because I couldn’t figure out why my uncle called his sword ‘Warong Sword’.
“Haha. The Kunlun Three Immortals told me about your sword. They say you have a Dharma treasure called the Waryong Sword. That’s why everyone calls it the Waryong Sword. Does the sword have another name?”
“I don’t know. I got it too.”
He couldn’t say that he had stolen it in front of his rival uncle, so he said that he had gotten it.
“Did you know that was a Dharma treasure?”
Namgung Byeok called the Waryong Sword a Buddhist treasure from the very beginning.
That’s because I trusted the insight of the Kunlun Three Immortals.
“I didn’t know.”
Yeonjeokha shook her head.
Then, an exclamation came out of Namgung Byeok’s mouth.
“Ah! That’s right. It was truly a coincidence. Don’t let go of the sword at any moment. As you know, in a fight against the famous sect, nothing is more important than the Dharma treasure.”
“yes.”
The man answered coolly.
Because he didn’t want to spit on his uncle’s words who were worried about him.
“Still, it’s fortunate that the Heavenly Alliance was formed this time. Even if it’s late, I can be with you. Do you plan on moving with the Green Forest? Since it’s a general patrol, I guess we should do that.”
“No. I don’t have any place in mind yet.”
Although O Bong Sanchae was a bit of a hassle, I had no intention of going back to Sanchae.
“Really? Then, you should consider coming to our main camp. Since we’re both members of the same faction, I’m sure other people won’t say anything.”
“yes.”
Yeon-jae readily accepted his uncle’s offer.
Just thinking about the possibility of living with Namgung Cheon and Namgung Yeon again makes me happy.
After about 30 minutes (about 1 meal)?
Namgungcheon, who was watching from behind, asked.
“Father, can Yeon-i and I take Jeok-ha out? We want to show him around and catch up on things we’ve been catching up on.”
“Do that.”
Namgung Byeok smiled and nodded.
Still, I felt relieved because it seemed like the children and Yeonjeokha were getting along well.
There would be nothing more vain than if the friendship between two families ended with one’s own generation.
After a while, Namgung Cheon and Namgung Yeon took Yeonjeokha to the next room.
As soon as Namgungcheon sat down on the chair, he groaned.
“Oh my! It’s hard. You too must have had a hard time listening to our father’s nagging.”
“lol.”
Yeonjeok also laughed like an idiot at Namgungcheon’s unpretentious appearance.
A smile spread across Namgung Yeon’s eyes as he watched the two people’s relaxed appearance.
“But Brother, what are you going to show me?”
Namgung Se-ga also felt unfamiliar with the Jeongju branch as he only stayed in the accommodations assigned to him.
“That’s what I mean. You take everything too seriously.”
“ah.”
This is when Namgung Yeon looks at Namgung Cheon with a dumbfounded expression.
Namgungcheon, who had been lying on the chair like a cat, straightened his back.
“Oh, right! Your Majesty. I have something to tell you. I hope you don’t misunderstand and listen.”
