Episode 49. Typhoon in a teacup 22014.02.18.
Jung-o crossed his arms, lifted his chin, and looked at the kids with an arrogant attitude.
“Mr. Lee, aren’t you answering? “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to Seowon… … .”
The timid Walnut answered in a hushed voice.
In fact, in the eyes of adults, both Joong-o and the children were just ordinary kids, but Joong-o was a bit taller than Zau, had a good physique, and was strong, so he was quite a threat to the kids.
The lovebird was already hiding behind the small cow, and the other children were also hiding behind the walnut and nut.
Still, he was a leader in his own right, and Jau was standing in front, glaring at him as if he were about to have a snowball fight with Jung-o.
“vow? also?”
Joong-oh frowned.
“They go there all the time.”
Gyegu, who was standing next to him, said.
Gye-gu, who always stuck around with Jung-o, trusted only Jung-o and used to bully the kids, but in reality, he was shorter and weaker than Jau.
“Would you like to learn how to cook rice cakes in a cauldron or something like that?”
Gyegu spoke as if teasing the children.
“no!”
Soso spoke in a clear voice.
“We learn writing, we learn handwriting. And now I’m even doing martial arts training!”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The lovebird hiding behind Soso spoke in a low voice. Although she was not heard by Joong-o or Gye-gu.
“what?”
Joong-oh frowns at the mention of martial arts training.
“lie!”
Gyegu immediately shouted.
“My dad said that the academy you go to is a place to learn writing!”
“It’s not a lie! “Last time, I learned how to play doubles, which I hate!”
Soso objected in a clear voice. At that momentum, Gyegu stammered in his answer.
The sudden appearance of unfamiliar and complex words also played a role.
“I don’t like it… … what? “Where can you find such martial arts skills?”
“Really!”
Soso argued boldly.
It was the first time that the girls, who had always been bystanders, came forward like this, so Gye-gu was quite embarrassed.
“Well, it’s probably still weaker than Central China’s No. 1 power in the world, right? yes?”
Gye-gu asked Joong-o as if asking for his consent.
“of course. “The first place in the world is the best in the world.”
Joong-oh spoke in a rather confident voice.
But Joong-o’s eyes were on Jau. From earlier, the two were staring at each other as if they were having a snowball fight.
Jeez.
Jung-o took a step towards Jau. Then the kids flinch at the same time.
Joong-o, who gained confidence from that appearance, approached Ja-woo in a flirtatious manner.
As you stand closer, Joong-oh’s tall stature becomes even more noticeable. To adults, they were just ordinary kids.
“joy.”
Gyegu seemed to have gained confidence as well, snorting and scurrying along. Suddenly, he saw Hodu’s flute and snatched it away.
widely.
“oh!”
Without even having time to say anything, Hodu had his flute taken away. Jau shouted at Gyegu.
“hey! “Aren’t you going to give me that?”
When Jau shouted, Soso immediately said something.
“The teacher also said that you shouldn’t steal what belongs to others!”
But Gyegun and Jungo didn’t budge.
“Then, why don’t you take it back?”
Joong-o looked down at Jau and said.
Jau gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. But he couldn’t move.
“this person… … .”
It was like this last time too. Even then, Zau was angry and tried to attack him, but it didn’t work against Joong-o.
Joong-oh, who easily dodged the attack, was thrown to the ground by a single punch.
Jau glanced at the walnut.
Hodu reached for the grass flute with a puzzled and frustrated expression, but Gyegu was dodging back and forth with the grass flute as if teasing him.
“Why, do you want to get scolded again?”
Joong-o said to Jau. The memory of the last time I fell and fell along with Joong-oh’s voice comes to mind.
Jau’s hands and feet became weak. With Joong-oh being taller and stronger than him, he didn’t think he could win no matter what he did.
‘profit.’
I’m so angry that I’m about to cry. However, Jau’s head was lowered without realizing it.
It was right then.
“no!”
puck.
Jau turned his head at the sudden sound. The other kids and even Joong-o turned their heads.
And there was an amazing sight unfolding there. Gyegu, who had been teasing the walnut with a grass flute, was hitting his butt on the ground.
“Uh, uh.”
Gyegu, too, seemed embarrassed by this situation, with his mouth open with a blank expression.
Hodu, who was being teased, closed his eyes tightly and suddenly pushed Gyegu away with both hands.
There wasn’t much force, but the sudden action pushed Gyegu back helplessly.
‘Open your eyes.’
At that moment, Sonbin’s voice passed through Jau’s mind.
‘And take a deep breath.’
Walnut closed his eyes and did not take a deep breath. He couldn’t even move his feet properly.
It’s a stupid pair that came out without warning. But it was enough to wake Jau’s spirits.
“Whoa.”
Jau closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
I brought my hands together to my chest, recalling the movement I had repeated several times. And then I opened my eyes.
“I don’t… … .”
Jung-oh, who was looking at the fallen Gye-gu, suddenly turned his head when he heard Ja-woo’s low voice.
And then he met the gaze of Jau, who was looking straight at him.
‘uh?’
“I don’t like it… … .”
Jau’s eyes were shining. The moment I felt that way, Zau’s figure seemed to grow significantly.
In fact, Zau had taken a step forward, but there was no time to notice it. This is because the tremendous sound of cheers filled Jung-oh’s ears.
“Two heads!”
Pop!
At that moment, Joong-o felt like he was floating and flying away. And soon, Joong-o fell to the ground with a huge shock.
Kudangtang.
The pain was so bad that I couldn’t even scream.
I just fell to the ground, but my whole body was shaking so loudly that I couldn’t come to my senses.
And Jau, who had blown up Jung-o, was equally out of his wits.
‘Uh oh.’
Although he screamed with all his might, he never thought that Jung-Oh, who was bigger than him, would fall like that. Plus, it didn’t feel that difficult.
‘The ground pushed me.’
The moment he took a step forward, Jau clearly felt it. He felt that the ground he stepped on supported him firmly.
I didn’t know how to express it, but it felt like the earth was helping me. That power was transmitted through his arms and pushed that Jung-oh away.
“This bastard… … .”
While Jau was surprised at himself, Jung-o also came to his senses. And along with the shame, anger boiled over.
That anger made me forget the pain. Joong-o stood up and ran towards Jau. But Jau didn’t just stare.
Dododo.
Jau took another step forward, looking straight at Joong-o who was rushing towards him.
widely!
And then he thrust his arms out with all his might towards Jung-oh. It was a more familiar and natural movement than before.
It was a very precise movement, done at the right time and with a low posture.
“I hate it!”
Pop!
Joong-o, who was running recklessly, was hit by Zau’s double sword and flew backwards once again.
Kudangtang.
Joong-o was lying on the ground. The kids held their breath and looked at the scene.
Gyegu, who was sitting down, opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene with an expression of complete disbelief.
“Tsk.”
Jung-o did not happen. A short voice came out, but it soon turned into crying.
“Ugh.”
Joong-o fell to the ground and began to cry. Not only does it hurt because I fell over twice, but it also makes me sad to be like this.
I stopped crying due to the overwhelming emotions. And that also signaled that the fight was over. Jau won.
“Wow!”
The children screamed without realizing it. Even the quiet lovebirds jumped up and down, and Soso, who usually pretended not to care, raised his hands happily.
In fact, if an adult had seen it, it would have seemed like nothing more than a bunch of little kids clattering around, but for the kids, it was a heart-warming victory.
“Wow.”
Joong-o was sitting on the floor and crying. Gye-gu quickly got up and comforted Joong-o, but Joong-o didn’t stop crying.
“wow! amazing!”
“good job! good job!”
The kids left Joong-o and Gye-gu alone and started talking excitedly.
Walnut, who had lost his flute, was also smiling. The grass flute that Gyegu had thrown away was rolling around on the floor, but the kids didn’t care.
The kids began their triumphant return to Seowon in triumph, and Jung-o and Gye-gu returned home with their shoulders slumped and their noses snotted.
* * *
The Hoyeon military officer was a medium-sized military officer based in Cheongwon.
Not only did it have a fairly long history and tradition, but it also had a good relationship with the Hyeokryeon family, which is considered one of the five major martial families, so it was a shaman with a strong presence in Gangnam martial arts.
However, because it was geographically too close to Gwangju, where the Hyeokryun family was located, there were limits to the expansion of its power, and in the end, it was also the limit of the Hoyeon military officer to be treated as a military family under or under the cooperation of the Hyeokryun family.
Still, in the vicinity of Cheongwon where the Hoyeonmugwan was located, the martial arts family that no one could ignore was the Hoyeonmugwan.
“Have you been there?”
The Commander-in-Chief of the Hoyeonmugwan bowed his head respectfully towards the head of the Jeokcheolgwan.
“hmm.”
Heokcheolgwan, the head of the government with a sturdy physique, sat in his office looking a little tired.
Although the warm, fragrant tea soothed his mood, Hematogwan’s complexion did not brighten easily.
“Did you go well?”
“It’s not good.”
Hek Cheol-gwan raised his tea cup and spoke in a heavy voice.
He had just returned from Hyeokryeonsega. Although it is nominally a meeting to exchange casual greetings, in reality it is no different from a call.
“It seems that So Eun-pyo has decided to take charge of the party affairs.”
Soeunpyo Bureau is a petition-based bureau. He had a fairly good relationship with the military officer Hoyeon, but he was in a corner after a series of failed attempts recently.
“Didn’t you decide to take charge of the affairs of the Sarangpyo Bureau, not the party gate?”
“It’s the same anyway. “The owner of Saryangpyoguk is actually the Tangmun.”
Hematogwan tapped his fingers on the table. This is a habit he always does when he is trying to gather his thoughts.
“The Revolutionary Sega openly expressed dissatisfaction. “I guess they suspect that Tangmun is secretly trying to advance into Gangnam Moorim.”
Hematogwan sighed.
“Well, I guess he is like that too. It is said that the expansion of the party’s influence is quite active these days. “The new commander in charge, Seolgeom Danghwaryeon, is said to be young and quite ambitious.”
The general had also heard of the story about Seolgeom Danghwaryeon.
There is probably no one who does not know the story about Seolgeom Danghwaryun, a new star in Tangmun in the current martial arts world and a synonym for young new masters.
“So Eun-pyo would have had no choice.”
“Of course, but… … .”
Hearing the Commander-in-Chief’s words, Hek Cheol-gwan rested his chin and tapped the table.
“I thought things at the Blood Dragon Gate were calming down a bit, but now it’s the Tang Gate. Even as a member of the Revolutionary Family, he would be a difficult opponent.”
It is none other than Tangmun, one of the five major figures of Murim. As a member of the revolutionary family, there is no choice but to be nervous.
“What does the Namgung family say we should do?”
The Namgung family, located just south of the Yangtze River, has claimed to be the two major leaders of Gangnam martial arts along with the Hyeokryeon family.
In fact, the biggest competitor of the Hyukryun family so far was the Namgung family.
“You mean Namgungse? “After advancing to Wuhan, they say they are busy trying to settle down in Gangbuk Wulin.”
“By the way, about So Eun-pyo… … .”
“Considering what has been done so far, I would like to help in any way I can, but what can I do when the Reformation tax comes out like that? All we can do is wait and see… … .”
I said I would wait and see for a while, but that was essentially the same as saying I would just sit back and watch. Because So Eun-pyo’s country may collapse for a moment.
However, we cannot go against the trend of revolution. Since he has maintained a close relationship with So Eun-pyo, it is bitter to Heok Cheol-gwan.
“All right. “I will find out and deal with it.”
The governor bowed his head and accepted the governor’s wishes. And he tried to back off like that.
“Did anything special happen while I was gone?”
Hematogwan raises his teacup and asks indifferently.
The commander-in-chief was nervous. When the governor asks something like that, it means that there is something to be pointed out.
The commander-in-chief, who was silent for a moment, spoke carefully.
“It looks like the youngest master had a fight with his friends.”
“I heard you came in crying?”
Hek Cheol-gwan spoke in a calm tone.
“yes.”
The commander-in-chief responded. Red Tie Guan tapped his fingers on the table.
“When children play, they may fight or cry. But it is.”
Hekcheolgwan’s sharp eyes reach the general.
“If someone tries to use it to do something, you can never ignore it.”
“what… … .”
“I heard it from the second one.”
The second child is Lady Sehwa. She is the older sister, slightly older than me, whom the youngest master especially follows.
“I heard that some disciples are encouraging the youngest to take revenge. They even said they would come forward and scold the children. “Is that what our Hoyeonmu Officer’s disciple would do?”
The Commander-in-Chief’s expression hardened. Although he doesn’t show it openly, Heok Cheol-gwan cares very much for his youngest child, whom he acquired late in life.
His disciples probably knew that and did the same thing, but that is something they do even without knowing the hematite pipe.
This is because Jeok Cheol-gwan was a person who valued pride and pride as a military officer more than anything else.
“Besides, the fact that they approached the youngest child doesn’t mean they dared to interfere with the future of this martial arts officer.”
The commander-in-chief did not dare to answer.
It may be said to be too much of an idea, but can we really say that the disciples who approached the youngest master had no such thoughts?
“It could be said that I am looking back on the work of a fellow student, so I will not go as far as excommunicating him.”
The name of the Hematogwan was as cold as autumn frost.
“However, all those involved in this matter must be severely disciplined to prevent something like this from happening again in the future. “If you have time to worry about these things, shouldn’t you put in more effort into your training?”
The commander-in-chief bowed his head deeply.
“That is a reasonable statement.”
The anger on Heok Cheol-gwan’s face did not go away for a while. Then suddenly, Hek Cheol Gwan asked.
“By the way, who did the youngest fight with?”
“These are the children of a small seowon that started a new school not long ago.”
“vow?”
Hek Cheol-gwan looked surprised.
“yes. From what I heard, they are training children.”
“Is it training?”
Hematogwan showed interest.
“That’s interesting. “I thought these days, a seowon was a place where people were forced to read only texts and were only made for frustrated students.”
“This is a vow started by a young giant named Son Bin who recently retired from his hometown.”
“Hoo.”
Hematogwan smiled.
“Perhaps because he is a young person, his thoughts are open. That’s right, that’s right. The original shaman general was also an outstanding scholar of his time. “Nowadays, we have become a world in which warriors who are good at politics are more successful than warriors who have spirit.”
Heok Cheolgwan nodded and said.
In his mind, he imagined a person named Son Bin whom he had never seen before. Teacher Tiger, who has a youthful spirit and an energetic appearance.
“That’s a good thing. Now it is time for the youngest to learn to read, so send him to that academy.”
The Commander-in-Chief paused for a moment, but then bowed his head and answered.
“All right.”
The Commander-in-Chief was deeply impressed by Gwanju’s decision.
Through this, all disciples will know where Gwanju’s intentions lie. And what kind of person he is.
“When I have time, I’ll have to go and say hello to the seowon.”
That’s what I said, but I won’t have time. Especially in a situation like these days where the situation in Gangnam Moorim is fluctuating.
The Commander-in-Chief bowed his head in respect and quietly left the office.
