Episode 547
While he was eating alone, someone approached his seat.
âPyo⦠Daehyup?â
It was Ju Seol-pung who spoke cautiously to Pyo-wol.
âsit down!â
âRight.â
Ju Seol-pung carefully looked around and sat down in front of Pyo-wol.
Pyowol lifted his hat and looked at the snow wind.
He seemed a little haggard, probably because he was having a lot of trouble these days. But his eyes were still full of light.
âYou seem to be doing well.â
âI am busy.â
âHow is the Union Association?â
âsorry. No matter how much it is, I canât tell you the situation inside the eunryeonhoe. Please understand.â
âI understand!â
âthank you. But how did you get here?â
âItâs on the way to Haerojang.â
âHaâ¦is that what the chief said?â
âokay!â
âah!â
The main snow wind let out an exclamation involuntarily.
His eyes were shaking.
No matter how much he cut ties with the Jewon Corps, the safety of his great-grandmother Roh Tae-tae was still his foremost concern.
âHow is your great-grandmother?â
âHow are you still holding on?â
âIsnât it very bad?â
âLooks like youâve lost a lot of energy.â
âah!â
The snow wind let out a sigh involuntarily.
Roh Tae-tae was already over a hundred years old.
Since he had enjoyed his life long enough, it was not strange when his lifespan ended. I was prepared that in the worst case, I would not be able to attend her funeral, but when I heard it through Pyowolâs mouth, my mood calmed down.
Pyo-wol held out a bundle to Ju Seol-pung.
âreceive!â
âWhat is it?â
âRoh Tae-tae sent it to you. It contains tea leaves and a few more items. I sent you all of your favorites.â
âthank you. thank you.â
Ju Seol-pung gave thanks and handed over the bundle.
As if it were a rare treasure in the world, Ju Seol-pung hugged the bundle tightly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was as if he could feel Roh Tae-taeâs warmth in the wrapping cloth.
Snow Whiteâs eyes turned red.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Pyowol.
he was laughing hard
âThank you for giving me such a precious gift. I donât know how to repay this.â
âItâs not difficult, so whatâs the rewardâ¦â
âWhoa! It may not be a big deal to Pyo Dae-hyeop, but to me it is a precious gift that cannot be exchanged for anything.â
âThen go in.â
Pyowol stood up.
Ju Seol-pungâs share in the union meeting was by no means small.
He was running a union association with Namgoongwol.
In particular, because he had been at the top for a long time, his sense of handling money and his skills in handling people were excellent.
There was so much to do that I couldnât leave even for a moment.
At least it was Pyowol who was the one to meet, so he didnât force himself to come out like this, otherwise he wouldnât have dared to leave.
Knowing that fact, Pyowol stood up right away.
It was when Ju Seol-pung was about to say thanks to Pyo-wol.
Dang dang dang!
Suddenly, an urgent bell rang from the Union Hall.
It was a ringing bell signaling an emergency.
Pyowol and Juseolpung simultaneously looked at the union meeting.
Suddenly, there was a busy movement in the direction of the front gate of the union association.
In an unusually urgent movement, Ju Seol-pung packed a bundle and spoke to Pyo-wol.
âIt seems that there has been a change in the meeting. Letâs go first.â
âDo it.â
âthen!â
After Ju Seol-pung grabbed Pyo-wol, he hurriedly ran to the union meeting.
Left alone, Pyowol sat down again.
Now that Iâve come this far, I thought Iâd go and see what was going on.
It was then.
cooong!
Suddenly, a dull air wave swept through the area.
âKeugh!â
âHup!â
Everyone in the inn held their chests and groaned in agony.
Pyo-wol looked for the subject of Ki-pa with interesting eyes.
The source of the kipa was a man who was approaching the Silver Reunion from afar.
A man with a bold impression wearing a sword around his waist.
A mountain-like momentum emanated from him.
Pyo-wol recognized the man at once.
âLee Geomhan!â
ï¼ï¼ï¼
Kwajik!
Yong Ha-sang crumpled the letter he was reading a while ago.
The correspondence was a kind of challenge.
[Yong Ha-sang Hoejuâs personal battle.
Today, I will challenge Yong Ha-sang Hoiju with the Jinju of the Unryeonhoe.
I believe that if I am not afraid, I will accept the challenge.
âCompensation for this sword.]
To put it simply, it was a story about fighting for the position of president of the Union Association.
Yong Ha-sang had no obligation to respond to this.
The gigantic force called Union Reunion was not a toy for children.
It is not something that can be handed over in just one confrontation and then received again.
Of course, Yong Ha-sang could refuse Lee Geom-hanâs challenge.
The problem was face.
If the owner of Eunryeonhoe and the owner of Yongcheongok evades Lee Geomhanâs challenge, everyone will curse and criticize him for being a coward.
Face is the most useless thing in the world, but I couldnât just ignore it.
This is because warriors do not follow those who have lost face.
Thatâs why sometimes I had to risk my life to save face. Such a harsh world was strong.
Furthermore, Lee Geom-han had recently been gaining a reputation as fiery.
By capturing the masters of the Geumcheonhoe one after another, the status pierces the sky.
If he shied away from such a challenge, people would look down on him and not follow him.
There werenât many subordinates who could follow Hoe-ju, whose status had fallen to the bottom.
âunder! Then, was fighting the warriors of the Geumcheonhoe one after another a paving stone for this?â
Only then did I understand why Lee Geom-han took such a reckless step.
It was truly a perfect outing.
I donât know who drew it, but it was simple and perfect.
There was no way out anywhere.
At that time, Namgungwol, who handed over the challenge, said.
âYou may refuse if you wish.â
âDonât you know better that it canât be? Maybe Iâll call for joy inside. Arenât you the one who didnât like everything I did from one to ten?â
âBut I donât want you to fight so recklessly. The position of chairman of the Union Association is not such an easy one. Even though I donât like a few things, I still hope that you will continue to serve as president.â
âI want you to be sincere.â
âIâm serious.â
Namgungwol answered without hesitation.
Yong Ha-sang glared at Namgung-wol for a while before continuing.
âEven if that is the case, this challenge cannot be avoided.â
âriver bed?â
âMy face is at stake. I donât want to hear that the successor of Yongcheon Valley avoided the challenge because he was afraid.â
Namgungwol gritted his teeth at Yong Ha-sangâs answer.
It was because I did not understand Yong Ha-sangâs words that he accepted Lee Geom-hanâs challenge just because of his face.
The head of the union association was not a position that could be contested for the sake of face.
It was a position that required greater responsibility and leadership than anyone else.
It was hard to believe that he was willing to accept such a weighty fight just because of his face.
I started to doubt whether Yong Ha-sang was sane.
âThis must also be a picture my sister drew.â
It was a trap that could not be unfolded unless you properly grasped Yongha-sangâs personality. The Lee Geom-han he knew was not a person who drew such detailed pictures.
Clearly, all of these must be paintings drawn by Namgungseol.
The problem is that there is no way out of knowing that fact.
Yong Ha-sang was burning his fighting spirit with an expression that he was rather well.
Kangho people always put Jang Mu-geuk and Lee Geom-han as the best when discussing Kang-hoâs equipment.
There was only one reason.
This is because Cheonmujang and Gwangmumun, which they belong to, are two rivers in the world.
Yongcheongok, where Yong Ha-sang belongs, always puts them on top despite being members of the three troupes.
Yong Ha-sang did not like that fact.
There is no chance to stick, so if you collide head-on, you can always win.
It was clear that Namgungseol knew about it and set up this trap.
âafter! Should I hand over the union association to my sister?â
When I thought of Namgungseol, goose bumps ran through my body.
It was then.
Dang dang dang!
Suddenly, the emergency bell rang in the Union Association.
Yong Ha-sang kicked off his seat and stood up.
âLooks like youâre here.â
As he stretched out his hand, the sword that was hanging on the wall flew out and caught it in his hand.
Yong Ha-sang said, holding a sword around his waist.
âLook. How do I cook Dao Guang?â
âriver bed!â
âThe things you worry about wonât happen.â
After saying that, Yong Ha-sang walked outside.
âHoe Lord!â
âThe sword-bearing Confucius has appeared.â
The henchmen appeared and reported the situation outside.
Yong Ha-sang walked past them and came out.
Lee Geom-han was waiting in front of the front gate of Eunryeonhoe, surrounded by onlookers.
Geomhan Leeâs whole body was flowing with heavy momentum like a mountain.
âLee Geomhan!â
âLong time no see. Dragon Ha!â
The two recognized each other.
Even though we didnât actively interact with each other, we still saw each otherâs faces a few times.
Yong Ha-sang walked to where Lee Geom-han was.
âIâve been hearing a lot about you lately.â
âis it? Iâve been diligently moving these days. It seems that the rumor has reached your ears.â
âWhy did you do that?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âIâm just going to stay at Gwangmumun, so why come all this far and mess around?â
âBreaking up?â
âIf itâs not debauchery, should I call it cheating?â
âI think it would be good to think a little and then talk. Itâs a problem because you always speak first without going through your brain.â
âAre you insulting me now?â
The dragonâs voice became sharper. In spite of his young voice, Lee Geom-han answered with an unwavering expression.
âNo, Iâm just telling the truth.â
âIf I move the federation here, you are finished.â
âI guess so. But you wonât.â
âWhy are you so sure? There is no reason for me to give up my advantage and fight you head-on.â
âBecause you are unmanned.â
âBeing unmannedâ¦â
âThugs and behind-the-scenes work donât suit you. thatâs me too A warrior like us proves our worth with strength.â
âI like that one.â
âWhat will you do? Will you accept my challenge?â
âI will accept it.â
All the soldiers nearby were surprised by Yongha-sangâs answer.
He hadnât expected Yong Ha-sang to accept Lee Geom-hanâs proposal so easily.
âwhat? Are you saying that the guild master is decided by just one confrontation?â
âHow is something going?â
âoh my god! A showdown between So Pae-ryong and Do-gwang?â
People were excited about the unexpected confrontation of the century.
Both Lee Geom-han and Yong Ha-sang were masters rarely seen in Gangho. Their fame skyrocketed, but few actually watched them fight.
The winner gets everything and the loser loses everything.
They were lucky enough to be able to see this fight with their own eyes.
âIt turned out the way I wanted.â
Among the warlords, there was a woman who secretly smiled.
It was Namgungseol.
Namgungseol looked at Lee Geom-hanâs back with eyes filled with infinite trust. But, beyond Lee Geom-hanâs back, he saw an unexpected person at the window of the guesthouse.
âThe moon!â
In an instant, her smile disappeared.
