Episode 876
Lord of the King of Fist (1)
“….”
Yeonwi, who was sitting alone on the bench and drinking a glass of wine in some unknown loneliness, suddenly felt a sense of force and stood up.
After a while.
Yeonwi came out of his residence with an empty glass and another rather old-fashioned looking liquor bottle and looked at the main gate of Pagungak.
“Please come in.”
I’m sorry.
The door opened and the hotel entered.
Yeonwi smiled.
“You came.”
“How come you have learned things like clairvoyance now?”
“hmm?”
“The moment I was about to knock on the door, he told me to come in. “I’m done with being a ghost.”
Yeonwi burst out laughing.
“Stop yelling and come up. “Let’s have a drink.”
The official grumbled.
“The snacks look very meager… huh?”
The magistrate’s eyes widened when he saw the new bottle of alcohol.
“It’s not broad daylight?”
“I was wondering what I should drink if I had to have another drink later, and I heard that something good came into town, so I bought it.”
Yeonwi flicked the bottle with her finger.
“I’m Geomnamchun.”
The official laughed.
“Are you saying you’re going to treat me, a Sichuan citizen, to Geomnamchun?”
Geomnamchun is a liquor produced in Sacheon. There was no need to drink the same alcohol that I drank so much in my hometown.
Yeonwi smiled.
“Don’t they say that the taste and aroma of alcohol vary greatly depending on the manufacturing method? It is said that it varies depending on the time it was made, so it will be different from what the head of the family ate.”
“I’ve tried hundreds of dongs of Geonamchun with subtly different tastes and aromas.”
“I guess you can add one more dong to the hundreds of dong.”
The official smiled and climbed onto the platform.
“You’ve gotten so much better since I last saw you.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
The two people shared a drink.
Yeonwi asked.
“How are you going to be okay?”
“I already drank it, so why should I ask if it’s okay? But this is a bit strange. It’s true that it’s Geonamchun, but the scent is much stronger. “I’ve never had this much of Geonamchun before.”
“Not alcohol.”
The officer shrugged his shoulders. Only then did he understand the meaning of Yeonwi’s words.
“If it wasn’t okay, I wouldn’t have come in the first place.”
“You probably should have done that.”
“And…”
The official chuckled.
“Things are going very well even without me and my younger brother. “Because my father is holding on like hell.”
A strange glow appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
I heard and knew that Tang Gwan had reconciled with his father, the King of Amwang, his brother.
However, given the nature of the royal family, I thought it would be difficult to ask the king to act as the head of the family.
Although he had some quirks, he was a very responsible person. Entrusting the family name to an already retired father was something that no party official in the know would ever do.
Yeonwi did not bother to hide his true feelings in front of the party hall.
“I didn’t know that the head of the family was so informal with the old lady.”
The official shook his head.
“It’s still awkward. “It’s extremely awkward, really.”
Although the relationship has improved once, the accumulated love and hate lasts for decades. There was no way they could become an ideal father and son just by reconciling. Even though their feelings for each other are affectionate, it is difficult to show it outwardly.
Fortunately, Tang Guan constantly tried to improve himself, and Tang Hyung also did not want to live a tired life in his later years, so he treated Tang Guan very gently.
So now, at least to this extent, the relationship has been restored. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to continue the conversation due to the awkwardness.
“The family has all recovered. Furthermore, my father did not want me to repeat the mistakes he made. But I ended up repeating myself.”
“hmm.”
“I moved differently than before. If my father wasn’t there to watch over me, I wouldn’t have dared to come to Mang. “My father knew very well that the atmosphere at home had to change.”
The party brother, who had long realized the need for change, must have thought tens of thousands of times about how the party should change after imprisoning himself.
Without hesitation, I told my son about the ideal methods I had come up with over a long period of time. However, the head of the family did not show any coercive behavior, saying that it would be better to go that way since it was a party official.
He respected Dang-Gwan, his son and head of the family. Just as the party administration changed, the party structure also changed significantly.
Thanks to this, the Tang family quickly found stability, and the Tang official also restored their relationship to the point where he entrusted the family to his Tang brother. Perhaps Brother Dang is leading the family in the direction his son wants, not his own.
“For the family, all we have to do is send our younger brother.”
“That too, of course.”
Yeonwi cleared his throat.
“Anyway, the leader of this mission will be Gojeong, so the picture may not be very good.”
Dang Gwan is the owner of the Dang clan and a distant senior to Yeon Hojeong.
In other words, it means temporarily working under a junior and carrying out operations. It was something that would hurt anyone’s pride.
“What’s bad about a picture?”
“That…”
“Oh, it might be a little strange.”
The official stroked his chin.
“We will appoint Sobuju of the Ink Dragon Club as the chairperson… It may certainly hurt Baekdo’s pride.”
“…?!”
“But I am not the disciple of the leader of the Black Path Alliance. Heukdo is the actual second-in-command of the martial arts group, so distribution and age probably don’t matter much.”
There was surprise on Yeonwi’s face.
The official asked as if it were amusing.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“I guess there was such a calculation method.”
“From your point of view, he is your son, but from my point of view, he is like a nephew and the second-in-command of the Heukdo martial arts team.”
“I guess so. “It’s not true, the head of the family is right.”
“On the contrary, if there is anything to be proud of, it is in helping Shinmarim itself.”
The official frowned openly.
“Did you say Cheonhyorak? He was definitely an unusual guy. However, he seems to have excellent talent, but it seems difficult to properly demonstrate martial arts.”
“You will be sentenced to death. “The internal energy of the entire body is extremely high, but it is difficult to implement martial arts… I looked into it to see if it was due to a trick or psychological factor, but there was no sign of it.”
“Anyway, I don’t like him at all.”
“Is that because you are from the martial arts forest?”
“That’s also the part that makes me angry.”
Tang Heung’s eyes sank deeply.
“For some reason, it seemed like there was a lot to hide.”
“It can’t be helped. “If I or the head of the family were to go to Shinmarim right now, information about the family and the Murim Alliance would be strictly controlled.”
“It’s not that kind of problem.”
It seemed like he had a feeling that was difficult to explain in words. The frustrated agony was evident in the person’s appearance with his arms crossed and his head tilted.
“Well, anyway, I don’t trust him. And if you noticed that I was strange, Hojeong probably noticed too.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“Why did the title change?”
“hmm?”
“You always call me cheesy.”
“Are you trying to play a joke with me? Even so, I am not a great person who goes out of his way to the point of calling me a cheap person and leaving my name behind in front of the person who is my father. “I wouldn’t know if that cheap guy was really in front of me.”
“Hehehe.”
Yeonwi burst out laughing, as if the official’s words were funny.
The official also smiled and filled his glass. Looking at it, the hotel has really changed a lot.
After that, the two spent time talking about various things. It was truly a drinking party with friends that we haven’t had in a long time.
How long has it been like that?
“Can I ask you something?”
“Ask as much as you want.”
The official holding the drink asked in a passing tone.
“Why don’t you come up?”
“….”
Yeonwi, holding the glass, flinched.
After refreshingly emptying his glass, Danggwan burped as if showing off. Although it was quite an inelegant thing to do, he seemed to be embarrassed at the thought of asking a question that was pointless.
However, the official asked without hesitation what had already been said.
“It seems to me that the end of the world is already just around the corner.”
Yeonwi did not deny that statement. In fact, it went one step further.
“Do you see that?”
“Rather than seeing it, you just feel it.”
“Amazing. “The family head’s military power is no different from that of the Moyong family head.”
The official openly expressed his displeasure.
“Don’t compare yourself to that damn human being. “I was better then and now.”
“haha.”
“Anyway, why are you doing this?”
This was the question that his son Yeon Ho-jeong, military man Zhuge Mun-ho, and even the public ambassador asked Yeon Wei.
Yeonwi always smiled and avoided answering.
However, in front of the first real friend she made after joining the Murim Alliance, Yeonwi could no longer hide her true feelings.
“Because I think it’s excessive.”
“Too much? what?”
“….”
“Are you going to say something so absurd that it is too much for one family to have two masters who have broken through the martial arts?”
“That sound is true, even though it doesn’t even sound like a word.”
The officer covered his eyes with his hand. It was so absurd that I hit the corner of my eye with a slap from the palm of my hand! It was enough to make a sound.
“Oh my god, are you sure?”
“exactly.”
“Then what about Shaolin? Daesa Kwon Shin, Muheo, who was said to be the closest to being the best in the world, and now Daesa Gong, the first Murim lord, has also reached the rank of martial arts. “Has Shaolin gone too far?”
“no.”
“But why?!”
Yeonwi laughed bitterly.
“Hojeong will not become Sogaju.”
“…!”
“I have to hand over the position of the next family member to Ji-pyeong. “I said I would do it myself.”
“…I will not wonder any more since parents and children have already talked about it enough. But why is that a factor that hinders the matriarch’s desire to reach the top?”
greed.
The party said it was greed. And Yeonwi thought that the word greed was a word that accurately understood his condition.
“A year’s song is a year’s song.”
“The Zen question and answer is unacceptable.”
“Neither in my generation nor in Jipyeong’s generation will its size be mentioned. Well, it has to be that way. “I grew up watching him, but he is not the type of child who will suddenly become ambitious and go on a rampage, saying he will make his family the best in the world.”
“I guess so.”
“Once the horizon rises, there will be pressure from many directions.”
“Generations have changed, and that’s natural. Not only the old group, but also our party group did the same. So shouldn’t you, too, reach the ultimate? “So that no one can take it lightly.”
Yeonwi sighed.
“My family’s reputation is already too much.”
“Would you say it’s excessive?”
“The pressure from the surroundings is starting to come in.”
“You’re saying you’d give in to that much pressure?”
“They said it was too much or too little. “The power of the main family has already reached its limit.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“If I want to see the pinnacle of swordsmanship after I retire, I have no intention of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts right now.”
“It’s frustrating. “I don’t really understand.”
“Hehe, I have no intention of seeking understanding from others. “It’s just…”
Yeonwi licked her lips.
“I think just Gojeong is enough.”
“….”
“Hojeong went from a martial arts hero to a traitor to Baekdo. “The world says otherwise, but many people treat Hojeong as a traitor.”
“….”
“It is not a good idea to suppress public opinion with more overwhelming force.”
The official sighed.
“Hey, Yeon….”
That was then.
“…!!”
The two people’s eyes widened.
“This…?”
“I see you came.”
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
“You are a ghost of light spirit.”
