Episode 297Fight without a bell (1)

“Are you inside?”

“…Don’t ask questions like you know, but come in.”

“I understand.”

Sigh.

The door opened and Yeonwi appeared.

The official snorted.

“The son came and shook him, and the father came and patted him. “They are a father and son who are truly compatible.”

Yeonwi tilted his head.

“What do you mean?”

The official, who had been quietly examining his face, suddenly turned his head.

“That’s it. Come and sit down.”

“Let’s do that.”

After a while, the two people sat down facing Datak.

Yeonwi, who was in charge of the tea ceremony, smiled.

“Did you get into the car yourself?”

“I don’t have anything below, so I have no choice but to ride it myself.”

“Where did you send the servants?”

“Cultivating poisonous techniques comes with many risks. “If you stay in this building, you could get poisoned and die.”

“Well done.”

The official turned his head.

“I just needed someone to take care of the chores after my training was over. “If they aren’t there, I have to do it myself.”

He is truly a dishonest person.

But it’s okay. Yeonwi really liked this change in the party building.

“Anyway, I think you’re getting better at driving a car.”

“….”

“If I hadn’t learned it, I wouldn’t have been able to bring out such a rich scent in such a short period of time. “The temperature is just right.”

“What do you want to say?”

Yeonwi asked quietly.

“Did you learn from your daughter?”

The official frowned.

“If you’re going to talk nonsense, just leave.”

“Hehe, I’m sorry. “I said something pointless.”

Yeonwi quenched her thirst with a sip of tea and continued speaking.

“I heard that you are going to Sacheon.”

He says things in a natural and gentle tone that can’t help but feel like they came out of nowhere.

The corner of the official’s mouth rose.

“Who said that?”

“I just heard rumors. However, if you are really going, I thought I would at least say hello.”

The official’s eyes narrowed.

As I silently looked at Yeonwi’s face, it seemed like she wasn’t lying. Well, it would be meaningless to lie about something like this.

The official turned his head.

“We have decided to postpone our return to Sacheon.”

Yeonwi’s eyes widened.

“You changed your mind?”

“exactly.”

“Hehe, I guess we can postpone the greetings until later.”

The official, who was watching the royal family, asked with a bit of confusion in his voice.

“Are you really Yeongaju?”

“hmm? “What do you mean by that?”

“The first time I saw you was at a public meeting. “You clearly weren’t this kind of person back then.”

Yeonwi smiled.

“Then what kind of person was this person?”

“A person who is stuffy, blunt, and unable to read the trends.”

“Hehehe.”

It was a cold and honest evaluation. In fact, the party saw Yeonwi as such a person.

“Do you think it’s different now?”

“exactly.”

“How do you think I’ve changed?”

The official just drank tea without answering.

Yeonwi also guessed that he would not speak. And even without listening to him, he knew better than anyone else that he had changed.

‘but.’

Yeonwi thought of herself in the past.

‘It’s changed a lot.’

Due to his family’s reputation, his late wife’s will, and excessive workload, he developed a particularly hard personality.

In other words, it was more like a defense mechanism to protect himself. Because I was so mentally occupied, it would have been difficult to maintain my sense of self if I didn’t do that.

But not now.

First change and I saw the world change.

In response to the rapidly changing world, my son went to martial arts, and countless things happened after that.

In the process, Yeonwi also gained great enlightenment.

The thing I regret the most so far is not being able to give my children proper love.

It was something I regretted even more than when my wife died. I regretted not taking good care of the fruits of my love with that woman more than when I was helpless in the face of the death of the woman I loved more than my own life.

The moment Yeonwi realized this, she was able to let go of everything. It was so I wouldn’t have any more regrets.

Yeonwi opened her mouth.

“Please understand in advance that this person is not very knowledgeable about the situation in Sichuan.”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you have a wife?”

He is asking whether his wife left first like him.

The official shook his head.

“I went there first ten years ago.”

“I guess so.”

Yeonwi did not ask why your wife died. It wasn’t a good thing to hear, and it would be difficult for the speaker.

However, I really wanted to talk about this.

“Did you love the deceased?”

The official frowned openly.

“What do you want to say?”

“It was a time when arranged marriages were common, but I don’t think the head of the family would marry a woman he had no affection for.”

“Wrong. “I have never been deceived by sweet emotions such as love or anything.”

Yeonwi shook his head.

“Even though it was an arranged marriage, I believe that the head of the family I see would have cared enough for the deceased.”

“….”

“Be good to your children. Your children are the fruit of your relationship with the person you loved. Since you are more important to the head of the family than anyone else, let’s not do anything we will regret before we die.”

The official smiled coldly.

“Do you enjoy teaching under the guise of giving advice? “I think I’ve heard something similar before.”

Yeonwi smiled bitterly.

“I’m sorry. “My regrets are so deep that I sometimes say things like this without even realizing it.”

“joy.”

The official crossed his arms.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense. Have you heard from your son?”

The tone was clearly full of sarcasm.

Yeonwi tilted his head.

“If it’s your son, then you mean Gojeong?”

“exactly.”

“Did something happen?”

“Please ask me to stand as a candidate for the leadership election.”

For a moment, Yeonwi’s eyes widened.

“When did you do that?”

“He came to me early in the morning like a puppy that wanted to poop and said that. “Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t know.”

Yeonwi, who was quietly lost in thought, soon burst into laughter.

“He’s like a guy.”

The official frowned.

“He’s like a guy… That’s a pretty strange thing to say. “Did you know that your son would come out like that?”

“I guess I was surprised because I didn’t know it would come out like that. But I understand after listening to it. “If you’re a hero, it’s worth throwing out a response like that.”

Curiosity appeared on Yeonwi’s face.

“So how did the head of the family accept that proposal?”

Yeonwi’s face, who was looking at the official who was looking at him without answering, soon became colored with surprise.

“I guess you gave permission?”

“exactly.”

“Why?”

Yeonhojeong would be worthy of such a suggestion.

Of course, that wasn’t Yeonwi’s way. Whether in martial arts or politics, he adhered to the right party as much as possible, but was not good at tactics such as laying the groundwork or launching unexpected counterattacks.

What was surprising, however, was the fact that the institution accepted the proposal.

“The head of the family will know. “What does Hojeong’s proposal mean?”

“I know. I guess this means asking you to step up as a counter to Prince Moyong. Doesn’t this mean that you will focus Prince Moyong’s attention on this side and take him down from the shadows and establish a leader that suits your taste?”

Yeonwi shook his head.

“There may be an intention to restrain the ambitions of the Moyong family, but there will be no intention to establish a lord that suits one’s tastes.”

“Yes.”

“….”

“That guy’s eyes were following with certainty who should become the Murim lord. At least that’s how I saw it.”

Yeonwi’s face hardened.

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know until that point. I don’t think they’ll tell me if I ask. “If you are really curious, the head of the house should ask your son directly.”

Yeonwi nodded.

“I understand.”

The party satisfied our appetite.

“Whatever the reason, I will run for election. And it will fall.”

He himself did not seem to think that he would win the presidential election.

Yeonwi nodded.

“Maybe so.”

Regardless of the reputation or ability of the party, the sense of intimidation and fear that Sacheondangga gave was truly great.

The head of such a family becomes the Murim lord? We may not know it, but almost all white people will rise up.

Furthermore, the stereotypes unique to Baekdo Moorim could not be ignored. To them, the Tang family, which uses poison and memorization as its main weapons, had a bad impression that was comparable to that of the Black Sword.

“The problem is that Mr. Moyong probably doesn’t know that.”

“exactly.”

“Of course, your son and wife would have seen that far too. In other words, I become a useless scarecrow.”

The official tilted his head.

“I don’t know what you’re going to do with a scarecrow like that.”

Since he had already made a choice, he showed his will to accept whether he became a scarecrow or something else. He accepted it even though he knew he would be defeated in the election, so he must have expected that too.

Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at the party hall, shook his head.

“The head of the family said that our eldest child has a strong sense of being a leader.”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t know anything about that. “I just know this one thing.”

“…?”

“At least I won’t turn you into a scarecrow.”

The official’s eyes lit up.

“What do you mean?”

“The eldest child is a guy who calmly does things that a normal person would never even imagine to do in order to win. However, at the root of that desire for victory is always a great cause, so we’re still waiting to see what happens, but I’ve done a lot of pretty radical things.”

“joy.”

“But there is goodness in the eldest child.”

“line?”

“exactly.”

Yeonwi smiled.

“If he is not clearly identified as an enemy, even if I use him, I will not make him miserable.”

The official sneered.

“You seem to be looking at your son too kindly. “In all my life, I’ve never seen someone go out like your son.”

“He just left, but the reason he didn’t suffer much damage was because he had his own line in mind.”

“That’s interesting.”

“And maybe this is what I think.”

Yeonwi’s face became serious.

“Even though I have no intention of making you a leader, I think I will make you a big name who will have great influence in the political world of the alliance.”

“…!”

The official’s face hardened.

“How did you come up with that idea?”

“Because you have to be that big to put pressure on the Moyong family head.”

“….”

“And one more thing.”

A smile appeared on Yeonwi’s lips.

“It seems like my son is okay with the nature of the person you call him.”

The official said it as if it was absurd.

“If that’s true, your son’s arrogance can be said to be the best in the world.”

“Why is that?”

“Not only did you arbitrarily evaluate the head of the Tang family, but you are thinking of making him the backbone of the clan. Even though you are arrogant, you are not usually arrogant.”

“Because of that arrogant guy, the famous family is collapsing and the landscape of martial arts politics is shaking.”

“…!!”

Yeonwi smiled and stood up.

“Give me a moment. I have somewhere to go with you.”
