Episode 1397. Even if I play around, they’ll pretend not to notice
After a few days, the once noisy Seokgyeongjang became as quiet as before.
And the daily routine of Seok Kyeong-jang’s family members was repeated.
I spent time with my family and went fishing in Simtong and Soho.
Namgung-yeon spent his spare time at Seogak reading.
Yeon Ji-an hung out with Wol-ah and Geum-ah.
No, it is more accurate to say that Wol-ah and Geum-ah took care of Yeon-ji-an.
Fortunately, Yeon Ji-an was incredibly smart for her age, so Wol-ah and Geum-ah were not tired.
The three lived together like sisters with a large age difference.
People tend to resemble each other.
Ha So-baek and Han Chae-yeon, like Dang Woon-mang, were absent from Yakje Dang.
All that happened was for Han Chae-yeon to get some fresh air outside with her daughter.
Seokgyeongjang did not mean that outsiders did not come and go.
At the end of the month, Hefei’s business managers visited with ledgers.
At such times, Namgung-yeon met them at Seogak.
Other than the business managers, there were no outsiders coming in and out of Seokgyeongjang.
In the Namgung family, Namgungman occasionally came by carriage.
The brothers-in-law were far away and could not visit, so instead they sent letters through Pyo-guk.
It’s been three months.
As the South Alliance’s martial arts competition (April) was approaching, the Hocheon Alliance, feeling a crisis, declared a ‘Murim competition on Dragon Boat Festival (May 5th of the lunar calendar)’.
Anyone can see that it is a confrontational structure between the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance.
Ahead of the South Alliance’s martial arts competition, the martial arts factions were in disarray.
This is because of so-called queuing.
Last year, as a result of the conflict between the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance, more than a dozen factions were wiped out and over a thousand people were killed or injured.
If the Southern Alliance advanced beyond Namjikrye Fortress, there would be even more bloodshed than last year.
Are you attached to the traditionally strong Chilpai Moon?
Or will it join the five major families that have emerged as emerging powers?
The area except for Namjikryeseong Fortress was virtually under the control of Hocheonmaeng.
But participating in the Southern Alliance’s martial arts competition?
A check on the Hocheonmaeng will begin immediately and they will suffer all kinds of humiliation.
However, if I participate in the Hocheon Alliance martial arts competition, I am afraid of the military power of the Southern Alliance.
The martial factions who were concerned carefully sent their disciples to the martial arts competition of their choice.
Unlike Murim Bangpa, who was on fire, Sangbang took his time.
Because they don’t have to choose one side.
The ten merchants of the continent decided to send congratulatory envoys to the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance.
The first day of April.
Early in the morning, Mo Yong-gak, the Confederate general, came to Seokgyeongjang.
Sosam, the gatekeeper of Seokgyeongjang, guided him to the guesthouse.
After a while, Yeon Jeok-ha wandered into the guest hall.
Mo Yong-gak, who discovered Yeon Jeok-ha, jumped up from where he was sitting.
“Yeon Daehyeop. “This is Mo Yong-gak, the Commander-in-Chief of the South Confederation.”
Considering the age of Yeon Jeok-ha, who is only 28 years old, it is an excessive title.
If someone had seen it, they might have said it was Moyonggak’s flattery.
But now, Mo Yong-gak was only paying attention to Yeon Jeok-ha’s detached energy.
As the year changed, the year we saw was different from last year.
Until last year, it felt like I was seeing Mt. Taishan, but now it was just a distant sight.
Yeon Jeok-ha sat down across from Moyonggak.
“What happened this morning?”
Mo Yong-gak took out a red booklet from his pocket, held it out politely, and said.
“This is an invitation to the Qingming Festival’s martial arts competition.”
“ah.”
Yeonjeokha let out a light exclamation.
“The Master said that he would be grateful if you would come and grace the occasion.”
“yes.”
Yeonjeokha nodded.
If I didn’t attend the event held at my in-laws’ house, there would be rumors of discord again, so I thought I would just participate.
“thank you. Would you like the Confederacy to send a carriage?”
Mo Yong-gak took a quick look at Yeon Jeok-ha’s complexion.
The success or failure of the martial arts competition held by the Southern Alliance depended on Yeon Jeok-ha’s attendance.
The undisputed leader of all time and modern times who defeated the combined efforts of the world’s top ten masters who were attacking Namcheon.
Most of the guests at the martial arts competition must have come to see him.
Even if Yeon Jeok-ha shows his face, the morale of the Confederacy will skyrocket.
“Yes, thank you.”
I did not decline to repeat it.
Finding a carriage and driver was also a task, so there was no reason to refuse if the Confederacy would do it.
“no. Rather, I am grateful. “We will prepare without a hitch.”
Mo Yong-gak was relieved to learn that Yeon Jeok-ha had decided to attend the martial arts competition.
In fact, there was a lot of talk in the headquarters about whether Yeon Jeok-ha would attend.
This is because of the rumor that Empress Dowager Nam Gung-yeon is trying to distance himself from the Southern Alliance.
In fact, Namgung Yeon stopped visiting not only the Nammaeng but also the Namgung family.
Some say it was because of disappointment with the leader, Namgung Byeok, but no one knew why Namgung Yeon did that.
Yeon Jeok-ha asked as a greeting.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, more people came than expected… … I was surprised. Not only from Namjikryeseong but also from all over the world, martial artists flock here, making it difficult to find a room in the guesthouse. “The South is recruiting private houses and lending them to the participants.”
“Thank goodness. “I thought there would be a problem because Hocheonmaeng was also holding a martial arts competition.”
“I was able to breathe a little easier because the Hocheon Alliance held a martial arts competition. “If they had stayed silent, they might have been run over and killed by the participants.”
The smile did not leave Mo Yong-gak’s face.
I chuckled at his bragging.
Encouraged by Yeon Jeok-ha’s positive response, Mo Yong-gak continued to speak.
“I promised to send a congratulatory delegation from the top ten countries on the continent. Just by looking at it, you can see what the position of the Confederacy is.”
“Good. Anyway, I hope you get good results. All I have to do is show my face, right?”
“Oh my! Yes, if we wanted more, we would be too greedy. All you have to do is come and watch the juniors dance.”
“All right. “Then I’ll see you that day.”
This is an order for guests to leave once their business is done.
Mo Yong-gak stood up without saying a word and bowed to Yeon Jeok-ha.
“I’ll just go back to resuscitating myself.”
Mo Yong-gak was so nervous that he even used the word ‘resuscitation’ without thinking.
When Moyonggak left, Yeonjeokha returned to the main house.
Then, he quietly placed the bag next to Namgung-yeon, who was combing her daughter’s hair.
“This is an invitation to the martial arts competition. “They said they would send a carriage, so I said yes.”
Namgung-yeon did not even pay attention to the betrayal.
“Don’t be too accepting of the Confederacy. They will eventually start a war with the Ho Tian Meng. “If they keep accepting it, they might try to drag you into their war.”
Yeon Ji-an, who was leaving her hair with her mother, intervened.
“dad? Are you going to war?”
Yeon Jeok-ha quickly waved his hands and denied it.
“No, Dad doesn’t go out there. Dad doesn’t have time for that. “I have to go fishing with Grandpa Sim.”
“Can’t I go fishing with Dad too?”
“What about Wol-ah and Geum-ah?”
“We can all go together.”
“You don’t like touching earthworms, right? “To fish, you have to thread an earthworm on a needle?”
“Oh, that won’t work. “I’ll just play with my sisters.”
Yeon Ji-an did not stubbornly give up.
It wasn’t because of the earthworm, but because he felt like his father was trying to take him away.
Yeonjeokha internally sighed.
It wasn’t that it was a hassle to take my daughter with me, but I needed some alone time.
Just like Namgung-yeon spends most of his free time reading in Seogak.
Looking at him like that, Namgoongyeon chuckled.
“Jeokhaya.”
“yes?”
“Take Jian with you when he says he’s going. After a while, the day will come when you won’t go even if you beg to go together. And didn’t she say she was sad because she couldn’t play with Jian?”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at the back of his daughter’s head.
Suddenly, I remembered the story about my daughter that I heard from Luna Mylus (Namgoong Yeon) in the Fourth Heaven.
It came to my senses as I thought about my daughter, who had grown older waiting for her father to return, and who had grown lonely after her mother had passed away.
“Jian, let’s go fishing with Dad and Grandpa Sim. “I’m taking Wol-ah and Geum-ah with me.”
“Can I really go?”
“of course.”
“Wow, I’m excited. “Thank you, Dad.”
Yeon Ji-an clenched her cute fists and shook her upper body from side to side.
That day, without any plans to enroll, I took my whole family and set off for Soho.
Soho.
As expected, Yeon Ji-an showed no interest in fishing.
Yeon Ji-an hated touching earthworms, and fishing eventually turned into boating.
Sim Tong could not let go of his regrets and cast his fishing rod alone from the stern.
As the daughter hung out with Wol-ah and Geum-ah, Yeon Jeok-ha also found a fishing rod and approached Sim-tong with it.
“Did you catch anything?”
“What can come out of talking like a mayor next to you? “How sensitive are fish?”
“Isn’t it true that old man Shim can’t catch fish?”
“If you catch me, I will be your son.”
Yeonjeokha was moved to tears by the unusual provocation of heartache.
“good. Since I come from a well-established family, they will not register me as a registered child. “Just call me father until you die.”
After receiving the concubine from Yeon Mu-dal, Yeon Jeok-ha often said that she came from a ‘family with good bones’.
“Say that while holding a fish.”
“Hang in there.”
From then on, I kept my mouth shut and focused on fishing until the sunset.
Around sunset, when Yeonjian whined that she was hungry, Yeonjian lifted up the fishing rod.
“I’m stopping because Jian is getting annoyed. “Old man Shim, thank you for our Ji-an.”
“Confucius was a public official too, right? Did I tell you? “If it’s noisy, you can’t fish.”
“It’s not that it’s not possible, there’s no meat. “I’m not going around because it’s chilly.”
I was stubborn until the end, withdrawing my fishing rod.
Shen Tong knew that he was making a fuss and did not refute it any further.
After a while, Yeon Jeok-ha’s family and Shen-tong’s group headed to a nearby lakeside restaurant.
Soho spot.
The family of six, including Yeon Jeok-ha’s family and Shen Tong’s party, got two window seats.
It was a long time since they ate out, so the smiles did not leave Yeon Ji-an, Wol-ah, and Geum-ah’s mouths.
The giggling sounds of a girl and a child rang in the air.
A few sensitive guests glanced at it, but since it looked like a family outing, they pretended not to see it.
But not everyone is favorable.
It is only half a hour (1 hour) from Soho to the provincial village where the Confederate headquarters is located.
Lodging establishments and restaurants near Soho were crowded with customers from out of town.
Huanglongbang is a branch of a powerful political district in Zhejiang Province.
Since Huang Longbang’s presence was significant in Zhejiang Province, which had no significant defense, the Southern Alliance was putting special effort into recruiting Huang Longbang.
As a result, Hwang Ryongbang’s shoulders were naturally under a lot of stress.
The eyes of Bangju and Hwangryongshingun Han Biho, who turned their heads involuntarily at the jingling sound of girls’ laughter, widened to the size of a flower lantern.
The appearance of the young girl and the two girls was surprising, but the woman in her twenties who was with them was as beautiful as if a fairy had torn out of a painting and jumped out.
“Brother Zhang.”
At his subtle call, Vice Lord Iron Blood Sword Jang Dou frowned slightly.
This is because when Ark was doing something dirty, he called himself a brother.
“yes.”
“I met the man of my dreams. “Go and find out whose house she is and what her name is.”
Jang Do-woo turned his head to where the Ark’s gaze was directed.
At the window seat, a group of people who appeared to be a family were having a happy time.
“Ark, the Confederate headquarters is not far away.”
“So what? Don’t you know the expectations the South Alliance has for our Hwangryongbang? “Even if I hang out in Soho, they’ll pretend not to notice.”
“but… … .”
“It is Woohyung’s lifelong wish. “Should I personally step forward to save the Hwangryongbang Ark?”
When Ark humbled himself to that extent, Jang Do-woo reluctantly stood up.
