Episode 951
Enlightenment means (1)
He carried an ancient sword symbolizing the hero of the nation’s salvation behind his back, and held a powerful long sword between his loosely folded arms.
The figure of Yeonwi, standing on a lumpy rock and looking out at the wide northern plain, looked like a bamboo or a sword.
The blowing wind was cool and the scent of swords blowing around was cold.
Yeonwi, who was looking at the sky and feeling the world, suddenly remembered the past.
‘That girl didn’t recognize her original family as the Seventh Generation.’
‘It’s just an immature remark from an immature child. What is the difference between Namgungse judging it based on the will of the whole and being triumphant about knowing ten things after seeing one thing?’
‘I am not dissatisfied with the Namgung family.’
‘if?’
‘What matters is the circumstances and who is at fault.’
‘Do you mean to face the essence?’
‘That’s right.’
It was a conversation that the eldest son, who had suddenly changed, returned from his guesthouse after shattering the restraint of the Namgung family.
Although he did not show it, Yeonwi was very surprised at the time.
A child who hated the world and gave up on himself, closing off the possibilities that had opened up at some point.
The child, who could not easily say a word in front of his strict father, returned after beating up the son of the famous Anhui loser, the Namgung family, and proudly declared that he had done nothing wrong.
There had been changes before then, but it was from that time that I was especially surprised.
Something has changed.
Although something had been strange before, Yeonwi realized that something about her eldest son had completely changed due to that incident.
‘Those eyes full of rebellion.’
When I thought of my son that day, a smile escaped me.
Yeon Ho-jeong was proud and firmly believed that it was the right path. At the same time, there was also a loving rebellion towards his father.
It’s not love-hate, it’s affection. Looking back, my eldest son never once hated or hated himself.
At least that was the case after I ‘came back’.
‘Return.’
Yeonwi once again recalled the conversation with her eldest son.
‘And the fact that you came back after living a long life wasn’t really something to believe in or not to believe.’
‘father.’
‘Hojeong.’
‘…yes.’
‘It was a lot of hard work.’
‘….’
‘How much hardship must it have been for you to go out into the world alone after your family was destroyed, and to endure with your teeth clenched in the midst of the vicious thugs of that dark island. ‘This father must have suffered a series of unimaginable hardships.’
‘…!’
‘In your memories, I would have been a ruined servant of the world who could not possibly be called a parent. It would not have been easy to go back to the past and understand each and every detail of such Abby.’
Yeonwi’s eyes became cloudy.
He couldn’t believe his son’s confession.
Your family went extinct, you went out into the world, lived for decades, and then returned to the past? It was a story that would make even those who made a living selling fictional stories in guesthouses click their tongues, wondering if it made any sense.
It was such an absurd story that even my son couldn’t say it for a long time. Since it would be a story that no one would believe even if I told it to anyone, I would have thought it would be better to bury it alone.
Yeonwi felt extreme disgust.
It was entirely my fault that my son had such thoughts.
Even if it wasn’t because of him, he certainly couldn’t be called a proper father because he didn’t know the frustration of his son who kept such a mysterious secret.
When I first heard that, I thought they were making fun of me. I wondered if he was making a bottomless joke with the intention of disturbing the spy of Prince Moyong, who was waging a political war.
But no.
My son was serious and anxious at the same time. He was trembling because he was afraid that his reliable shield, who would never betray him even if the whole world betrayed him, would think he was crazy.
If I knew that feeling, I should never have shown it like that. I should have at least pretended to trust him.
In the end, as I looked into my son’s serious eyes and heart, I thought that the world was truly a place full of unknown mysteries.
That’s how much I trusted my son.
And at that time, Yeonwi felt that he was complete.
After that, he made many mistakes and became stagnant while missing his wife, but at least that was the decisive turning point that made him who he is today.
‘You guy.’
Yeonwi smiled.
‘Thanks to you, this father has stepped into a state that is difficult to dream of.’
Yeonhojeong was different from Yeonjipyeong.
It wasn’t long before Yeonjipyeong began to soar. In other words, it was only a few months ago that I felt reassured that I would truly do my part in living a strong life.
Is that why? Yeon Ji-pyeong still looked like a child. I am at an age where it would not be strange to get married, but strangely, when I look at the horizon, I am reminded of the days when I was young with fair skin and big eyes.
But Yeonhojeong was different.
Although he was clearly a child, the sight of his son taking charge of the world’s major affairs and struggling against foreign invaders was truly unbelievable.
Yeonwi realized that she regarded Yeonhojeong as both a child and a friend.
If Dang-gwan was a friend who had his back, Yeon Ho-jeong was a friend who would move forward together.
As soon as I thought about it, I no longer cared about Yeonhojeong’s past. What if he came back after living for decades? What if he didn’t?
A son is a perfect being as a son. This will be true for all parents in the world.
Yeon Ho-jeong went one step further in that area and became a companion whom he could trust, rely on, and walk alongside.
‘I brought my father up to this point and told him not to rest, so how can he act carelessly and say he needs my time? How can he pretend not to know the difficulties in the world and laugh and pat his stomach saying that he will live well on his own?’
The corners of Yeonwi’s mouth rose.
The twinkling stars on a dark night were particularly beautiful.
“Who are you thinking of?”
“hmm?”
Peng Mu-gang said in a sly voice.
“why? Have you found a wife or child you like? “Would you like to go to the cage?”
If I had heard something like this before, I would have either looked at it with a straight face or felt embarrassed, as if it wasn’t worth hearing.
However, the current age was different.
“Do you have a good marriage partner?”
“omg! If Yeongaju were to marry a new woman, pretty women from all over the Central Plains would be lining up in groups. “There might be a line from Jiangdong to North China.”
“Hehe, just kidding.”
“Me too. But wouldn’t it be better to live together than alone? I don’t feel lonely all the time. “I yearn for the life of a person who retires from the rivers and lakes, wanders the world, and lives leisurely.”
Peng Mu-gang would say something mischievous like this once in a while, and then add something strangely memorable, giving us something to think about.
Yeonwi smiled and shook his head.
“The woman I have loved all my life will die, but only one woman will die.”
Peng Mu-gang tensed his neck excessively. It was a Pengmu Gang-style expression that gave goosebumps.
“I heard a hero doesn’t mind having three wives or concubines?”
“Not only am I not a hero, but those words are all a thing of the past.”
“What is the old saying? “For people living on the edge of a knife like us, is there anything more important than giving birth to another life?”
“So shouldn’t we try to make the world peaceful?”
Peng Mu-gang chuckled.
“You can’t have a conversation about this.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“There will come a moment when you feel a little lonely and envious of others. However, just thinking about my wife and grown sons who left before me will help me spend my old age well.”
“Tsk, it’s not like I was joking just to get such a serious answer.”
“So don’t expect much from me. “I am such a boring person.”
Peng Mu-gang burst out laughing.
“So you want to touch me more?”
Yeonwi shook her head and smiled as if she couldn’t stop him.
Peng Mu-gang said, licking his lips.
“I don’t know anything else, but I envy you that. “The two sons have grown up to maturity.”
“What are you saying? “Didn’t Pangaju’s sons grow up well too?”
“You grew up well? Yes, you grew up well. “The body.”
“Heo Heo Dae-ho and Man-ho are both good-natured and generous children who will become great pillars of Kang-ho in the future. Anyone can see that it is like that.”
Peng Mu-gang snorted.
“I hope so. Somehow, the older child has become more careless than the younger one these days. After all, a person needs to roll around and bleed like a little child to become mature.”
Although it was a somewhat extreme statement, the National Assembly also acknowledged part of it.
In fact, Yeon Ho-jeong went out into the world and grew greatly, and Yeon Ji-pyeong also grew incredibly after leaving the safety of his family and joining Uijeong-gun.
Only when you see and feel the lives of many people can you look back on your own life. In that respect, I can say that my sons went out at the right time and grew up well.
“Still, your original nature will not go anywhere. In fact, if you look at it only in terms of psychological pressure, how can Man-ho be as good as Dae-ho?”
The quality of difficulty and pressure felt by each person is different.
However, Yeonwi said that because her concern for her eldest son was evident even when she said it as a joke.
Peng Wugang sighed.
“Well, when I was that age, I lived through all kinds of accidents, so I think I was better than me.”
Parents are worried even if their children are better than them. Peng Mu-gang was also a parent who had no choice.
Peng Mu-gang, who was sighing, suddenly smiled sinisterly.
“Yeongaju may not have any intention of going to the bird cage, but people coming from far away will have their hearts pounding right now and won’t be able to eat well.”
Yeonwi chuckled.
“But would a person as powerful as a warrior be like that?”
“Huh? “You do this even though you know that fame and martial arts are all meaningless to both men and women.”
“Are you curious?”
“There is nothing to be curious about. “Of course I would.”
“Hmm.”
“…Honestly, I’m curious. “I can’t even remember the last time I felt my heart pounding.”
“Then let’s ask him directly.”
“hmm?”
At that moment, Peng Wugang felt as if all his well-groomed hair were standing on end.
Yan Wei and Peng Mu-gang looked back. Then, the Paewangdae, lined up next to the Pengmu River, also turned their heads.
A group of people was approaching from the far south.
These people are approaching, raising clouds of dust. They all rode horses, and the number seemed to be over a thousand.
Pengmu Gang whistled.
“Did you use some strength?”
“It seems like just the right number.”
If you bring too many troops, you will arouse the emperor’s suspicion, and if you bring too few troops, you may end up in a state of conflict due to s.e.xual problems.
Looking at things like that, I could tell that he was not just a person strong in martial arts.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
One thousand troops closing the distance in an instant.
In the center was a middle-aged man wearing a black uniform.
“Whoa.”
Purr.
The horses toured noisily, but soon calmed down and stopped.
The man calmed down his horse as if he was used to it and approached the two with a smile.
At that moment, a subtle tension appeared on the faces of Yan Wei and Peng Wugang.
In particular, Yeonwi was even more nervous. Although he was his son’s master in name only, he was able to see the opponent’s true strength much better than Peng Wu-gang.
‘strong!’
It doesn’t give off any momentum. It even killed his presence to the fullest.
However, it contains a thousand fire bombs. If all the bombs explode, the entire area will become hell.
A being that makes even highly enlightened seniors feel admirable and nervous.
“Nice to meet you. “I am Yangcheon, Lord of the Inkryong.”
A meeting of righteous and evil giants who joined hands to protect the imperial palace. The wind blowing from the north made the giants’ eyes glow.
It was a meeting of the protagonists that would mark the beginning of the Great War of Three Schools.
