Episode 223. Water and Oil (5)

“The problem is that the book is uniting the Safaines.”

“What do you mean? It’s a bit strange that a storybook like this would have any influence on the world of martial arts, my lord.”

The group of people who were reading the book repeatedly brought the book close to their eyes and then moved it farther away as if they couldn’t believe it.

Gaju Pengangwei nodded as if he had expected that to happen and continued speaking.

“The Safains believe that the main character in this book is a real person.”

“The main character in this book is a real person?”

The man in charge of the book asked again and opened the bookcase again.

Upon rereading it, I realized that this wasn’t Sapa’s story.

It was a story about the protagonist punishing evil and promoting good by punishing the evildoers.

Wasn’t it the story of the righteous faction to punish the demonic cult and establish justice in the martial arts world?

But why is it that this book plays a role in uniting the Safa?

Questions continued to pile up in Kagigun’s head.

Then Peng Kang-wi continued his explanation.

“Whether the character is a member of the Sapa or the Jeongpa faction is not mentioned, but the street storytellers describe the protagonist as a Sapa faction hero, a Sapa faction hero wearing red clothes. They say that there are quite a few storytellers these days who sweep away the iron warfare, as the book and the eloquence overlap.”

“Oh, was this the book? I’ve heard that it spread from Hanam.”

“It is a storybook that started in Hanam and has now spread widely to Hebei and Shandong.”

“I know that, but doesn’t the person in that book look like a political figure to anyone?”

“That’s more of a problem. The people of Sapa are more merciful and courageous than the people of Jeongpa… … . Do you think that makes sense?”

“hmm.”

“Why do you think this book was published?”

“I don’t know.”

“This is clearly a scheme centered around the Gangnam Sadoryeon.”

“Then what is the reason?”

“It’s about unifying the Gangnam and Gangbuk factions that don’t mix like water and oil. And it’s about unifying them through imaginary characters.”

“It’s a typical hero-making policy.”

“That’s right. Just thinking about the Sado-ryeon’s scheme to unify Gangbuk and Gangnam based on an imaginary character gives me the creeps. This is all the rumors I’ve gathered so far.”

After finishing speaking, Gaju Peng Gangwi pointed to the book with his index finger.

There was silence for a moment.

It seemed like everyone was organizing in their heads the rumors that Gaju Pengangwei had told them.

That’s what a so-called meeting is.

There are times when I just pour out my thoughts without any time to think, but there are also times when I approach a topic leisurely, as if I were meditating, like I am doing now.

Of course, this could have been because of the alcohol that Peng Daewi brought.

Looking around, everyone had bright expressions despite the serious topic.

Of course, judging by his flushed face, he still seems to be drunk.

Hanbin also quietly recalled the rumor that Peng Kangwei had mentioned.

The Peng Gang-wi has thrown out a topic that is on everyone’s lips in politics between the three factions.

Hanbin glanced at the storybook that Gagigun was holding.

When it comes to gathering information, Hanbin would not lag behind Gaju Penggangwi or Gagigun, but this was the first time he had heard of it.

Perhaps I had been tied up in Jang Woon-hyun for a long time and had missed the flow of information.

The problem was that the characters in the storybooks they spoke of seemed strangely familiar.

Hanbin muttered to himself without realizing it.

“if…….”

The voice was a bit loud, so Peng Kang-wi turned his head.

“Hanbin, if you have something to say, say it.”

At the same time, everyone’s eyes were focused on Hanbin.

Hanbin, who suddenly attracted everyone’s attention, opened his mouth.

“I think it’s important to have a strategy to counter their hero-making tactics.”

“What do you think the trick is?”

“I think there are two ways for the martial arts world of the Jeongpa to take.”

“Tell me.”

“One way is to erase the hero.”

“Erase the hero… … .”

“By releasing the storyteller, you are turning the hero into a person of the righteous faction. But in my opinion, the storyteller released on the street is holding the purse strings of the righteous faction.”

“Then what is the second way?”

“The other is how to create a hero. It’s a method to unite the Gangbuk and Gangnam martial arts world by creating a hero in the same way as Sapa. However, I think opinions will differ on this as well.”

“Opinions differ? Can you tell me what you mean?”

“Isn’t it the large sects and martial arts families that make up the Justice Alliance, the representative organization of the political faction?”

“yes.”

“In the case of the Gupailbang, which is called the great sect, there is no distinction between Gangbuk and Gangnam. Only the Ten Great Sects of the World are divided into the Five Great Sects of the North and the Five Great Sects of the South, and they are in conflict.”

“Keep trying.”

“The Justice Alliance will not spend money on this. It will probably be ten years before the shit line is burned. If the four factions are unified, the ten years will be the ones who will suffer the most. The Old Gate faction is a force that cannot be overcome. In my opinion… … .”

Hanbin intentionally left his words vague.

I was judging whether I should continue or not.

I glanced around and saw that everyone was swallowing their saliva.

Hanbin continued speaking comfortably.

“I think the theme of this Mugajihoe is the unification of the Gangbuk and Gangnam martial arts families. In order to achieve that unification, the Mugajihoe will definitely create a hero.”

“Oh.”

Peng Kang-wi let out a gasp as he looked at Han Bin.

It didn’t mean that I learned anything new.

There was an exclamation that Hanbin’s insight was admirable.

Peng Kang-wi, who had erased his expression, continued speaking with a serious expression.

“In this Mugajihoe, we will probably present a real person, not an imaginary character, as the new hero of the martial arts world. Also, who that hero is will be the key to who will take the lead in the martial arts worlds of Gangbuk and Gangnam.”

“Oh, since they’re real people… … the competition will be fierce.”

“In other words, this Mugajihoe will likely be centered around a non-competitive tournament centered around the ten great martial arts masters of the world. The ten great martial arts masters of the world will unite around the heroes that emerge from there, and the small and medium-sized martial arts masters will naturally follow suit in the unification, according to the Gangbuk Five Great Martial Arts Masters’ idea.”

“Ah, now I understand why Sacheondangmun is so anxious.”

When Hanbin nodded as if he understood, Peng Kangwi tilted his head.

“What does that mean?”

“Even if the head of the family recovers with the help of other families through the Mugajihoe, he will still have to hand over the initiative, and even if a hero representing the martial arts world emerges from another family, the initiative will be handed over in the same way.”

“The party will lose the initiative and be at a disadvantage, so why are you rushing?”

After asking the question, Peng Kangwei looked at Hanbin with a testing gaze.

I wasn’t asking because I didn’t know.

It was a test of Hanbin’s discernment.

“The most important thing is the state of the party. Since the details are critical, the event needs help quickly, and since they don’t want to lose the initiative, they will find a member and resolve it without the help of other three families.”

“That could be the case.”

“That is the situation of the Sacheondang family, and the topic of this meeting should be how we can win the war called the Mugajihoe, right?”

“You are right. Now it is the last thing we have to decide.”

After finishing speaking, Peng Kang-wi turned his gaze.

What Peng Kang-wi was looking at were Peng Hyeok-bin and Han Bin.

He was watching the two candidates for mayor with eagle eyes.

Hanbin received those gazes calmly.

Peng Kang-wi, who had been looking at the two, slowly opened his mouth.

“Which of you two will go?”

The question is, who will go to this free event?

“… … .”

Neither Peng Hyuk-bin nor Han Bin spoke first.

Instead, they looked at each other.

Hanbin was the first to speak.

“I think it would be better for my older brother to go as a representative.”

“Are you giving in?”

Peng Kang-wi narrowed his eyes and asked Han-bin.

Hanbin continued speaking with a faint smile.

“Can there be a word like concession in a matter that involves the interests of the family? Rather than concession, I think it would be more correct to say the best.”

“It’s the best… … .”

“Yes, that’s right. First of all, if you look at the appearance of the ten great families in the world, most of them already have a small family head. If you go a step further, you can’t ignore the age and experience of those small families. Can I fit in there? My voice will probably be completely ignored. The important thing is that if my voice is ignored, it means that our family is ignored.”

“Are you saying you want to avoid the situation?”

After finishing speaking, Peng Kang-wi’s eyebrows twitched.

If there was a mouth on the eyebrows, it seemed like harsh words would come out.

However, Hanbin opened his mouth as if nothing had happened.

“Can I be honest with you?”

Hanbin’s eyes changed as he asked the question.

As if looking into the eyes of a beast with its prey in front of it.

As Hanbin’s eyes lit up, Peng Kangwi nodded with a curious look.

“Tell me.”

“If that situation ever comes up, I’m confident I can slap everyone in the face.”

In that moment, everyone’s eyes opened wide as if the alcohol had worn off.

It was the most fitting answer for the hearty temperament of the Peng family, but none of them would use the expression “slap in the face.”

There are glasses in front of you, but isn’t this a formal meeting?

People couldn’t hide their emotions when talking to Hanbin.

Peng Hyuk-bin couldn’t hold back his laughter.

“Phew.”

The alcohol in my mouth spurted out everywhere.

Fortunately, he turned his head and burst out laughing, so no one else was harmed.

The head of the law enforcement agency, Peng Dae-wi, had a slightly surprised expression on his face, his mouth slightly twitching.

Everyone’s eyes were turned to Gaju Pengangwei.

I was curious how the owner would react.

Gaju Pengangwei folded his arms and leaned his upper body forward.

The words, ‘Look at this guy,’ seemed about to burst out of his mouth.

For a moment, curiosity replaced the look of sternness on Peng Kang-wi’s face.

“Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not joking. I’m being serious.”

“Then why do you reject the representative of the family?”

“Isn’t it necessary to make all the remaining Sega your enemies? I think you are better suited to make allies.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin took a small step back.

At that sight, Peng Kang-wi looked at Han Bin with a deep gaze.

Looking at his past actions, Hanbin was closer to a wolf that chased and bit its enemies to the end than a tiger.

In some ways, Hanbin’s words that one could create enemies were right.

Peng Kang-wi nodded slowly.

“That makes sense. Then what do you think, Hyukbin?”

“I completely agree with Hanbin’s words.”

“hmm.”

Peng Kang-wi stroked his beard.

The biggest change in Peng Hebin after returning to his family after Kang Ho-hang was his attitude toward Han Bin.

Beyond brotherly love, it was a look of dependence.

First, who did Peng Heuk-bin ever rely on?

He was the type of person who even refused his father’s help.

In addition, what Peng Heuk-bin said a little while ago was even more spectacular.

After a moment of hesitation, Peng Kang-wi made a decision.

Peng Kang-wi nodded quietly and gave instructions to Ga-gi-gun.

“Prepare as I just told you, Gagigun Footnote.”

“Yes, I understand. Since there is still time, I will first collect information diligently. And I will collect all the data perfectly before the Archduke departs.”

“Then I ask you. And that’s all I have to say, so everyone, go back.”

“Then I will go now.”

Gagi-gun took the first prize.

Peng Kang-wi tilted his head at that sight.

“Didn’t you agree to a one-on-one duel with me?”

“that is…….”

Instead of answering, Peng Kang-wi grabbed his sword.

From the body of Peng Kang-wi, who was holding the giant island, an aura like Mt. Tai emanated.

At that sight, everyone was busy packing their bags.

As they were about to leave, Peng Kang-wi spoke in a low voice.

“Hyeokbin, take that book.”

“all right.”

Peng Heuk-bin quickly picked up the book on the table.

The remaining soldiers looked for someone to help them.

“Your Majesty the Lawgiver.”

“I have to go now because I have some paperwork to review. Sorry, I have to go.”

After finishing speaking, Peng Dae-wi quickly picked up the barrel of liquor.

Peng Dae-wi and everyone gave up their seats as if they had promised.
