Episode 270: Can You Handle It??
“I won't go back?”
Despite the words of the Pungcheon religious leader, Gowol was only looking at the checkerboard and the booklet he was holding..
“The work is over now, right? Let's go back!”
Finally, the work of creating an intelligence organization in the central government was completed..
The name of the organization given by Geommugeuk is Eunwol. Gowol did not attach a platform or platform to it. I decided to use the name purely given by Geommugeuk..
“let's go!”
“I'm not going.”
“why?”
“I'll go back when I can beat Chonggun at Baduk..”
Of course, the leader of Pungcheon could know Gowol’s intention behind those words. It meant that he would return after managing Eunwol to become a better organization than the Tongcheongak led by the General Commander. No matter how well-made an organization is, there is a clear difference between an organization that is directly run and managed by the head and an organization that is not. This is a time when the leader's diligence is especially necessary right after the organization is created..
“Would a scientist even recognize this??”
“Not Lee Gongja, but Sogyoju..”
“That guy is that guy. Now that we have achieved our goal, both you and Mazon will be left alone. If you put it in a corner and meet it, it will be like this. Who was it? Now you won’t even mention that soldier back then, right? It's probably like this. Don't get in the way and get out of the way, Sogyoju is leaving. Even if you don't want to, that's what happens in life. Who would want to live without taking care of others??”
Gao Yue said while still looking at the Go board and the Go book in his hand..
“Aren’t you tired of saying that anymore??”
“I'll say it again and again, and I'll do it until I die. Listen and listen again. Listening like that is a good friend..”
“Then aren’t we too close??”
The head of the Pungcheon Church said nothing more and walked to the window..
“It doesn’t work! Pretending to be upset.”
The leader of Pungcheon, who was walking to the window, naturally turned around, pretending that he had not meant to go that way, and this time walked towards the bed. At that time, when I was pretending to have a fever and massaging my forehead, Gowol spoke first..
“Stop pretending to be sick!”
Then, in the end, the head of Pungcheon Bridge returned to its original position..
“Let’s just curse at Lee Gongja. At least this is the most relaxing. How far did we go earlier??”
“Move over, Sogyoju is leaving..”
Even though it was boring, it was a great month of listening to everything..
“Now that Sogyoju has become a leader and Eunwol has been completed, you will be pushed to the background. Sooner or later, you will be asked implicitly what it would be like to combine Eunwol with Tongcheongak. Then what are you going to do??”
“If you say we should merge, we should merge..”
“So, how delicious will Lee Gong-ja look when he sees you? I will rip off every inch of your flesh and lick every bone..”
At that time, a familiar voice came from behind me..
“You really gossip about me every time we meet..”
I was startled and turned around to see Geommugeuk standing there smiling..
“You really have a knack for gossiping that's amazing..”
“It's not like you spend most of the day gossiping about me.?”
“Sometimes we gossip all day and even talk in our sleep..”
Even though he said that, the face of the Pungcheon religious leader was full of joy..
Geommugeuk greeted the Pungcheon religious leader with a polite bow..
“Thank you for your hard work, teacher..”
“Why is this happening all of a sudden? Is this ugly guy new to giving rice cake??”
“I heard that Eunwol was completed. If the leader had not been there to help, things would not have gone so smoothly..”
“In the meantime, the two of you were in contact again. Except me!”
This time, Gowol bowed politely to Geommugeuk..
“Now I am officially greeting you. Since you have become a small religious leader, I would like to give you a discount..”
“You've done a great job.”
“Even if you had left the broom in its place, there would have been no disruption to the general trend..”
Then the leader of Pungcheon intervened..
“Don't be so humble. Then I know it's really like that. Tell me that you worked hard until you died. No matter how much I say, humans only think about how difficult life is..”
Gowol smiled and said.
“Our leader worked hard. Please recognize and praise.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Then the leader of Pungcheon raised his voice..
“Don't act like such a nice person, but tell me your truth.!”
Geomgeuk and Gowol looked at each other and laughed..
At that time, Geommugeuk’s eyes turned to the checkerboard behind him..
“Will I finally become a perfect soldier who is also good at playing baduk??”
Geommugeuk walked towards the checkerboard..
Gowol stood in front of the checkerboard together..
“Shall we have a game with me??”
“I just learned it and still have a long way to go.”
However, contrary to what was said, the situation that unfolded was far beyond the beginner's level..
“The fight is fierce here.”
In response to the sword dance, Gowol said something meaningful..
“Isn’t it similar to this incident??”
The moment I heard that question, I knew what sword dance was. Gowol is already aware of everything that happened in the Honam region. I thought maybe he was playing baduk alone while thinking about that problem..
“This number was thrown to save stones that would become sandstone. It is too deep to be called a retaliatory strike, and a somewhat reckless move to be called a move to rescue Sa-seok..”
Gowol's eyes turned from the badukboard to the sword dance..
“This is a move made by the Murim Alliance to save Cheonhwamun Gate..”
Indeed, Gowol already knew what was going on. Furthermore, he was aware of things that Geommugeuk did not know..
“Jinhagun, the grandson of the Murim lord and the Great Lord of Destruction, exercised his unique authority and moved the Murim lord. The religious leader accepted their request. Of course, I understand that if their request is accepted, it is customary for the Murim Alliance to later accept the school's request..”
Geommugeuk nodded. Since he is also testing his son, the father will be watching this move with interest..
“But do they know about what Seocheong did??”
“I think you understand it to some extent..”
Except for Seo Cheong, the main culprit, and Seok Pung, who exposed the crime, all the remaining members of the Military Academy were released. Through them, information about what happened at the banquet hall will be spreading to some extent..
“Even so, I push on.?”
“It's such a big benefit that it's worth the criticism..”
Geommugeuk shook his head. The Murim lord he saw was a rogue but fair person..
“Maybe my grandson over there also took the test..”
Gowol immediately understood what it meant and nodded..
“How should I respond now??”
Geommugeuk came all the way here to hear this answer..
The run was worth it. Because Go Yue had already planned a plan..
“The reason why Cheonhwamun has been able to walk the tightrope between the main church, the Murim Alliance, and the Sado Alliance is not only because of their own strength, but also because there were about 30 small and medium-sized factions that followed them. And most of them are not followers of political factions but followers of our church and the Apostolic Alliance..”
“You must be dissatisfied with Cheonhwamun joining hands with the political faction..”
“you're right. We will take this opportunity to absorb all of their blasts. If that happens, the Murim Alliance will only be in turmoil and not be able to reap any real results..”
“That's a really good plan!”
Geommugeuk was very happy..
But Gowol also recognized problems with his plan..
“The problem is the reaction of the Murim Alliance or Cheonhwamun when that happens. It's definitely not going to stay still, so you have to be prepared for it..”
That was correct. Because there was no way they would just watch that happen..
If conflict escalates, conflict may occur. Since my father had given the order to release Xu Qing, I couldn't engage in a power struggle with them..
Geomugeuk thought for a moment and picked up a white stone..
“They are trying to revive a dead stone by force, so we must punish them. but…….”
Just!
The sword dance put down stones in a different place from where the fight took place..
“If you blatantly rush at me to catch me, I'll struggle desperately to survive, so I'm thinking of making a move on the other side trying to catch me..”
“It's like Seongdong..”
At Gowol’s words, Geommugeuk smiled meaningfully..
“Actually he's to the east of us.”
* * *
The sword dance raced toward the east..
The rapid pace that made him a star made his midfield narrow..
Geommugeuk met him there, running faster than a bird. The person I was happy to meet was eating at the guesthouse again today..
―I told him to eat well, but he's still a picky eater..
Bisain chuckled at the electric sound that flew in..
Ylang, who was standing around, said to him:.
“why are you smiling?”
“I just thought of a no-nonsense person..”
After Yayulhan's death, Bisain completely took over power. He became a strong successor to the Apostolic Alliance both in name and reality, and many people followed him. It was safe to say that all the results were thanks to the sword dance..
―See you at the cliff tonight.
―Let's stop now..
* * *
That night, when Bisain arrived at the cliff, Geommugeuk was sitting on the edge of the cliff..
“I don't know why I want to push you away when I look at your back..”
“Push it away today. Once you realize that it's useless, you won't think about it again..”
Bisain came and stood next to the sword dance..
“Why did you come again??”
“Why? I'm here because I need your help.”
“What kind of demonic cult is asking for help from the Apostolic Alliance??”
Even though he said that, Bisain's heart was pounding. Just when you feel that your repetitive daily life is boring, sword dance suddenly appears in front of you like this..
Geommugeuk sat down and looked up at Bisain’s face and said.
“Oh, your face looks pretty good from this angle. Your scar looks great here too. If you find a woman you love, make her sit here and stand there..”
“Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what business you came for..”
“Let's just do one thing with me..”
“What are you going to do??”
“The Murim Alliance has been getting greedy lately. But if we are greedy, aren’t we the ones who fall for it??”
Bisain’s expression became slightly serious..
“I mean Cheonhwamun Gate.?”
As expected, Bisain already knew about the events related to Cheonhwamun Gate. I heard the news that the successor of Cheonhwamun was captured by Geommugeuk. Of course, they expected that they would ask for help, but unexpectedly, they joined hands with the Murim Alliance. Because of that, Sado-maeng and Bisa-in were on high alert..
“Of course, you knew everything.”
“How can you not know when you are causing such a fuss? Even the kids running around in the neighborhood know this..”
“You know I like attention.”
“so? Why did you come here??”
Regardless of the favor for sword dance, this was a very serious matter. Because it meant one large neutral force siding with one side..
“You can't just sit back and watch.?”
“You could probably solve it on your own?”
Because he knew better than anyone else how excellent sword dance was. That's why Bisain was suspicious of the sword dance..
“Of course, I could have solved it myself. Unless it's my father..”
“What do you mean??”
“An official order has come. Release the successor to Cheonhwamun. In other words, don't clash with them head on..”
“so? They will use me instead.?”
“What does that mean?.”
Bisain said firmly..
“I refuse.”
As he was about to turn around, Geommugeuk said.
“Let's divide into three..”
For a moment, Bisain stopped. How can you just leave after hearing that??
“What do you mean??”
“Most of the small and medium-sized factions that follow Cheonhwamun follow the main school and Gwimaeng. They will be very dissatisfied with this arbitrary decision of Cheonhwamun. let us absorb them all.”
Bisain was startled. I was so focused on Cheonhwamun that I didn't even think about it..
“Why don't you absorb it all and give me a chance too??”
Geommugeuk answered honestly..
“For three reasons. First, as I said before, I am in a situation where it would be difficult to conflict with them since I am acting alone. But when you intervene, things change..”
“The second reason is?”
“What would you do by forcing those who want to go under you? He'll probably betray you later. If we are in an urgent situation, I will do anything, but I don't want to show off and show off. That's the old way.”
Bisain’s scar wriggled. I wondered if Geommugeuk had any hidden intentions, but I couldn't figure it out. If the opponent were someone else, it would be easier to understand the intention, but since it is a sword dance, it is very difficult..
“What is the last reason??”
“I'm curious. As you know, Cheonhwamun mainly interacted with our school and you. But when a crisis arose, we joined hands with the Murim Alliance. Shouldn't we be joining hands with you guys? Their lives and fate were at stake, but they acted outside of common sense? What on earth is there behind this? Who was in charge of that? Aren't you curious??”
Bisain also answered honestly..
“I'm curious too. No, I'm more curious..”
“Actually, I think that reason alone is reason enough for you to come forward..”
After thinking for a moment, Bisain blurted out:.
“Then what if I get greedy? If you try to absorb even Cheonhwamun,?”
Since Cheonhwamun had the same level of exchanges with the Sado Meng as the Demon Cult, it was not impossible for them to join hands with the Sado Meng..
“Be greedy.”
“What?”
“If you can, join hands with Cheonhwamun..”
“That's how much I hate political faction bastards.?”
“So no. That's because I also plan to absorb Cheonhwamun. I wish this too, but I have to admit what you wish for. Let's compete. Who will own Cheonhwamun?.”
Bisain looked down at the sword dance in silence. From the time I first met him until now, he makes me feel like a wall. But it wasn't a wall that was weighing me down. It's a wall I want to overcome. It's a wall that stimulates me not to just stay like this..
Bisain blurted out..
“I want to push you away again.”
Then Geommugeuk held out his hand to help him get up..
Bisain shook his head with an expression of bewilderment..
“I think you really need to get counseling from Uisun..”
“It’s impossible because our school’s magician is also infatuated with me. If you don't catch me, I'll have to wake up alone, ugh. It's my waist.”
Geommugeuk got up from his seat with a stern look..
Bisain made the final decision.
“See you in Honam.”
It meant accepting the offer..
Geommugeuk told him.
“Bring in experts who will create a hostile atmosphere. You never know what might pop out from over there. Also, I need a reason to move too..”
Then Bisain said provocatively:.
“Can you handle it??”
“Why should I bear it? I will call you too. With mazons scarier than you.”
“I really don't lose it once.”
Bisain turned and disappeared into the darkness..
“You're getting more and more handsome!”
Bisain ended up laughing at the words he heard from behind..
When I turned around to say something, Geommugeuk was no longer there. He was flying far away among the stars in the night sky..
Bisain said softly as he looked up at the sword dance and the bright stars..
“I'll handle you. I will definitely become that kind of person.”
