Episode 18
The atmosphere started to get worse and worse.
“The important thing is that the bimu was justified!”
“party? Is it justifiable to use poison these days? What kind of Sichuan Tang Gate is this?”
“Don’t say you’re not! And as the head of the Medicine King said earlier, Lee So-kun was fine… …
“Sam Gongja, of course you would say no. And how can you believe that quack?”
“Quack? This bastard is real!”
Then, a very excited voice pierced my ears.
“If necessary, we must stop the war even by sacrificing the heads of the Three Gongs!”
… … what?
“What nonsense!”
“Am I wrong? Let’s stop admitting it. Hangshan inspection is stronger than the original family. When the war starts, hundreds will be killed or injured, and in the worst case, annihilation. Isn’t it the end if we pass the Three Gongja, the cause of all things!”
Is that a word or a fart? When she heard such a bullshit after a long time, her backbone was pulled and her chest felt tight. But there was someone who went ahead of me.
“What did you just say?”
It was a low voice, but it had power. Rather, it sounds clearer because it is quiet.
It’s a real world view. He looked around at the people with an expressionless face.
“who. neck. You want to give it?”
There was frost in the voice that was broken syllable by syllable. I was in an atmosphere that made my body tremble for a moment, but Baekho Dangju quickly opened his mouth.
“That’s right, the main culprit of this is the Three Gongja… … ah.”
That bastard doesn’t even have hair, he doesn’t even notice. Baekho Dangju blurted out her words, but it was already too late.
“So, for an unconfirmed matter, would you offer the head of the Three Gongs to the Hengsan Checkpoint? Is that something that will come out of the mouth of the head of the family?”
“No, I don’t mean that… … Baekho Dangju averted his eyes from Jin Wi-gyeong’s force. Jin Wi-gyeong quietly glared at the head of the White Tiger. It’s more scary when someone who didn’t do that gets angry.
Looking at Baekho Dangju’s white face, I feel like the 10-year-old congestion is going down. Qin Yujing stood up from her seat and looked down at the crowd with a cold face.
“Everybody already knows.”
Qin Weiqing looked around at everyone and said firmly.
“The fighting was fair, and Lee So-gun’s poisoning was a conspiracy. You know that, but you want to give in to them out of fear?”
The members of the Presbyterian side averted their gaze. Jin Wei-gyeong’s cynicism deepened even more.
“I don’t know who gave it to me, but the Hengsan Checkpoint holds the hilt of justification. Is it today or tomorrow? Or maybe it’s already been voted out, but it’s too late for us to bring it back. There is only one way. I just fight back.”
“Do you want to live? Do you want to protect your family? If so, prepare your warriors and prepare for war. Or cut off my brother’s head and offer it to them. If you just want wealth and fame, that’s not a bad way.”
A suffocating silence took over the conference hall.
In the next moment, if one person hadn’t opened their mouth, I might have been crushed by that silence for hours.
“excellent.”
One person who had been silently watching the situation until now.
was the chief
chieftain.
A person of interest. The highest elder of the family and the head of the elders.
I recalled the whole tone of the Jinwijing I had heard earlier.
‘I told you to be careful.’
An NPC named Jin Wi-gyeong is my biggest ally and advisor.
I didn’t listen to him in vain, and I watched the elder from time to time.
And I came to one conclusion.
‘Shiba, I don’t know.’
If you ask me to count the number of NPCs I’ve encountered even once after starting this crappy game, I’ll easily go over one hundred.
They each had their own facial expressions and personalities. The servant I met at Giru had a business smile tired of life, the coachman who took me was sloppy, and the influential people I met in the family were surprisingly simple and radical.
But as a captain… … .
‘I can’t read the expression.’
He just watches all of this with a strange smile.
Even when the interrogation began, when the big men shouted from their respective factions, and even at this very moment.
match. match. match.
The elder’s powerful applause rang out.
“I only thought of it when I was young, but before I knew it, Sogaju had become such a confident warrior. great That’s how you can say it’s the main family’s sogaju.”
“I’m sorry for showing you an ugly look.”
“Excessive humility is reflected as arrogance.
Sogaju has nothing to apologize for.”
In spite of the elder’s praise, Qin Wei-qing still had a hard face.
“This old man wants to add a word, what do you think of Sogaju?”
“I will listen.”
Dozens of pairs of eyes focused on the elder who slowly rose from his seat.
He is the best laugher in the family. In terms of authority or position within the family, it may surpass Jinwigyeong.
The biggest problem is that he is the head of the opposing faction, the House of Presbyterians.
‘f*ck, it’s f*cked up.’
The elder’s first words pierced my ears as I slowly turned to the door in preparation for the worst.
“It’s rotten.”
huh?
I turned my head around. The captain was still smiling his signature strange smile. did i hear wrong?
But no.
“Even beasts, when an enemy enters their den, join forces to fight together.
However, each of the family’s leading figures is offering the head of a direct descendant to prevent a war as a countermeasure.
haha. These guys are sitting at the street meeting in the main house.”
“No, no. You misunderstood. it’s just… … “
“Lord of the White Tiger.”
Baekho Dangju made a very nervous face at the cool call of the elder.
“Has my outing been too long?
Or is it because the family head is away?”
“No, no.”
He’s a great-looking old man at the gym who asks if you’ve eaten just by looking at his expression, but what he says is bloody.
‘what is this.’
how is it going Why are you on our side?
I tried to tighten my eyes, but people’s reactions were no different from mine.
Both sides clearly looked bewildered.
“What do you think? Sogaju?”
“What are you talking about?”
“If the war is a fait accompli, cracking down on the inside would be the priority. So, the first thing to do is to decapitate those who are no different from lifting weights, right?”
In the frozen air, Qin Wei-qing stared blankly at the elder for a while before vomiting out an answer like a sigh.
“It can’t be.”
Phew. Baekho Dangju let out a sigh of relief. It’s a bit sad to think of what I did earlier rather than offering my head.
… … Shall I tell you to kill that bastard?
“They insisted on handing it over to their enemies, not even framing the direct line of the family, don’t you think it’s too soft?”
“They have been loyal to their family for a long time. I think it was a slip of the tongue that came out of excitement.”
The elder laughed at Jinwijing’s answer.
“A false tongue, a false tongue. okay. The bowl of sogaju is bigger than I thought.
Is it really a cow? So, let’s not hold them accountable.
I would like to express my gratitude to Sogaju for boldly forgiving the old people’s mistakes.”
Then, as the elder bowed his head, the people hurriedly waved their hands and bowed in front of him.
“Oh, Noah. no. Our thoughts were short.”
“Please don’t do this.”
“This makes us even more ashamed. please… …
“Noah…
The one who saved me was Jin Wi-gyeong, but there was an uproar. Do a very live show, live show.
It was the moment when I watched it with my tongue in my heart.
no wait. show?’
A strange feeling of incongruity covers the whole body. I hurriedly looked at the people gathered around the elder. And found.
The elder who drove me away earlier. a smile on their lips.
‘no way….’
is it planned? all this?
For what purpose, for what purpose?
Numerous questions come and go.
My brain was a mess.
‘Does Qin Yuqing know something?’
I didn’t even have to turn my head to find it.
Because the elder was shouting with Jinwijing’s hand flashing.
“Now that the head of the household is away, the cow is the same as the head of the family. In this matter, I will support Sogaju. If we unite around him, no matter how great they are, we will never dare to exceed their true value!”
The heated atmosphere, people’s chants and cheers.
Where did you see this, somehow it feels familiar.
and.
“thank you.”
The moment I saw Jin Wi-gyeong’s trembling lips and the elder’s strange smile, I realized the identity of the familiar feeling.
‘The campaign trail.’
The appearance of the elder and the politician on TV overlapped.
It was quite embarrassing, but once the elder held Jin Wi-gyeong’s hand, the meeting proceeded swiftly.
The story related to the fight, which was persistently held by the Presbyterian, was included, and the content of the meeting based on the premise of war was the main focus.
“What is the current number of people available?”
“If we call even the samurai who are dispatched from outside… … About two hundred.”
200 people? I put my tongue out at the surprisingly large number, but kept my mouth shut in the ensuing conversation.
“What if you select the elites who are above first class?”
“I am less than twenty. Of course, it will be different if you include the people present here.”
Including the middle class, the number of first-class masters is around 3 to 40.
I don’t know the situation here, but it seems to be at a good level.
It is also a deep-rooted prestigious family. The potential of 200 years is not going anywhere.
“The port inspector?”
“First of all, only the confirmed warriors are at least three hundred.”
three hundred. That too was kept to a minimum, so it was a difference of more than a hundred people.
But it’s okay. Originally, fighting is done with numbers… … .
“And the first class is over fifty.”
This war is difficult. Still, with masters like Qin Yuqing and Yu Peng, it would be a worthy fight. Because they are high-level NPCs that cannot be read even with a sense of humor.
Perhaps the captain is also included in that category.
“There are a total of three masters of the main family, Sogaju, Noya and Widaegyeop.
And there are five masters at the peak of Hengsan Checkpoint.”
… … I can’t eat it like a beggar. really
‘what? A prestigious family with deep roots? 200 years of history?’
What have you been doing for 200 years? I hear that the history of the Hangsan checkpoint is less than 30 years old, but it is overwhelming because it is not inferior in terms of power. crush.
‘Did the Black Death circulate last year?’
Regardless of whether or not the Black Death circulated, I think I will turn around right away. I suddenly made a resolution while staring at the yellowed ceiling of the meeting room.
‘I have to bounce.’
Around four o’clock in the morning would be appropriate.
When everyone is asleep, they secretly jump over the fence and run away.
If it’s me now, even if five or six attack me at the level of the Heavenly Power Department, I can easily defeat it.
Search every mountain in sight to gain experience and reputation… … .
“Hangshan, the checkpoint has arrived from Hangshan Checkpoint!”
It was the call of a warrior who had rushed in. When someone received the rolled paper and unfolded it, red letters caught my eyes as if written in blood.
The text was recognizable even without the system translating it.
不俱戴天.
‘Indestructible.’
An enemy that cannot live together under the sky.
Jin Wei-kyung opened his mouth with a heavy face.
“As of the present time, the main house is entering a wartime situation.
Without my seal, the family, regardless of rank, is prohibited from going out and must maintain strict vigilance.
Don’t let in even one young ant. You know!”
ancient!”
A system alert rang in my half-fazed ear.
