The commotion quickly ended when Cheolsun Cheok lost his will to fight. The group that followed him also put down their swords and knelt, and the remaining people tied them up with ropes and subdued them.

But even after the commotion died down, the chaotic atmosphere did not disappear.

Three-tenths of the Cheolga family rebelled against the will of their lord. This was an act no different from rebellion, and it was an incident that showed the danger of the Cheolga family.

The fact that three of them went against the leader was the beginning of the downfall of a family.

But that wasn’t all. Iron Hand’s cry. It was now a well-known fact that the Sadoryeon was coming to Guangxi. But what if the Iron House’s head, Iron House’s leader, opposed them? The Iron House’s warriors also knew what the outcome would be.

It was their death. That is why the uneasy atmosphere flowing through the Gwangseok Railroad grew bigger and bigger.

There were three people sitting in the dining room: Cheoljichaek, Cheolhakjae, and Yongun.

Yong-un, who had originally planned to step down, also sat in the house of the head of household at the request of Cheol-hak-jae, who had regained consciousness. There was no time to share the reunion of the father and son who had not spoken for half a year. The atmosphere in the house of the head of household was extremely heavy.

Philosopher slowly opened his eyes. His face was darker than before his father woke up. It was because of the betrayal he felt towards his respected uncle, and the confusion he felt after learning of his uncle’s intentions.

The fact that Cheolsun Cheok had knocked him unconscious without causing any fatal harm even though he had risked his life to stop him further disturbed his mind.

“What are your plans for the future?”

Philosopher asked his father. The iron plank that had disappeared for half a year also had no time to rest. The rebellion of his younger brother, who had been with him his whole life, made his complexion, which had regained its vitality as a natural friend, look haggard.

“…”

The head of the household, who had always been wise and cheerful in his answers according to his own rules, had a hard time giving an answer. It was that difficult.

A rebellion by three-tenths of the family. Even if they had not known that the head of the family would suddenly improve, a rebellion was still a rebellion. Furthermore, the head of the family’s younger brother and the head of the bayonet syndicate were involved, so it was not an easy matter.

Besides that, there was the most fundamental problem: the Apostolic Union.

What should be done if the Apostolic Union comes? As long as the Iron House does not announce its future direction, the instability that has settled in the Iron House will not disappear.

Whether you want to be politically correct or bow your head, one thing had to be done.

The iron master laughed self-deprecatingly.

“I wake up one night and my family’s fortunes are shaken. If it’s going to be like this, I should at least get some good sleep.”

Philosopher Jae’s heart sank. It didn’t look like the Iron Pot Sword or the Iron Plane. It meant that they were all crowded together.

“…It is right to deal with the issues one by one. Since the Sado-ryeon has not yet set foot in Guangxi, let’s decide on the treatment of Uncle first.”

The title of uncle was like a thorn. The Iron Lord closed his eyes and sighed.

“I’m saying this out of concern, but I hope you don’t pretend this never happened.”

It was Yongwoon who spoke up. He, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth. It was because he had a feeling that if things continued this way, there would be no progress.

The eyes of Cheol Ga-ju and Cheolhak-jae turned to Yong-un. He was the benefactor who saved Cheol Ga-ju. However, at the same time, he was the one who brought about a great upheaval, even if it was unintentional.

The iron master rose from his seat first.

The head of the household bowed his head and gave a winning ticket to a young congressman who was about the same age as his son.

“I was unable to express my gratitude due to the confusion. As the head of the Cheolga family and as a patient, I am deeply grateful for the treatment given by Yong Daein.”

Yongwoon also received it as a prize. The iron master’s personality, which did not show off his pride, was indeed among the best among the martial artists he had met.

Only after sitting down again did Cheol Ga-ju answer Yong-un’s concerns.

“I know how to discern that much. Pardoning them is… impossible. But that doesn’t mean we can cut off their heads. In any case, they are the ones who acted for the sake of the family when the head of the household was in critical condition. It’s also impossible to abolish their danjeon.”

Iron Man was not a fool, even if he was determined to do the right thing. He had already heard from Philosopher about how things were going in Guangxi. It would be foolish to reduce his own strength here.

Treason against the family for the family’s sake. It was not a contradictory statement. Is there an appropriate disciplinary measure for that?

“Actually, there is a way.”

As Yong-un opened his mouth, the two who had been gloomy looked at each other again. Yong-un originally did not like to interfere in other people’s business, but the Gwangsu Iron House was just like a nest where he could lay his eggs.

If the nest collapsed before the eggs could hatch, that would also be a problem for Yongwoon.

Philosophy Jae’s eyes lit up. It was a reluctant thing to bring an outsider into a position that would decide important family matters. However, Philosophy Jae no longer doubted Yongwoon’s extraordinary ability.

Martial arts, medicine, intelligence. None of them were ordinary.

“But before that, I have to ask the Iron Lord one thing.”

Yongwoon asked while looking at the iron gate.

“Can you kneel before the Apostles? No matter what kind of gangsters or villains come?”

Iron Man once again had difficulty answering. Yongwoon could only laugh at that sight.

“Actually, it seems like such an easy problem to me.”

The iron lord sighed.

“I know that. It’s only natural. But giving in is another matter. How could I do that?”

“There’s no need to go so far as to surrender. If we could coexist without necessarily touching the Sado-ryeon, would you do so?”

“I hope so too. It’s not that I didn’t tell my brother that. But the Sado-ryeon is a bunch of Sapa. They are authors who prefer to submit to force rather than justice. I don’t think they will want to coexist.”

“I guess that would be the case in normal circumstances.”

As Yongwoon floated his luck, a question appeared on Cheolgaju’s face. An ordinary case?

“I don’t know exactly what kind of group my Apostolic Alliance is, but I know that it is a group of Sapas that encompasses the entire Central Plains. It would be suicide to confront Apostolic Alliance at Guangxi Iron Road. However, Apostolic Alliance will not be willing to turn their swords on Iron Road as soon as they arrive in Guangxi.”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s not that they don’t pay attention to the public sentiment because they’re called Sapa. Even if a stone rolls in, it’s natural to look at the surroundings. It might be different in a small region, but Gwangseo is not a rural area, even though it’s a frontier. If the Sapa League enters such a huge gold nugget, the Central Plains won’t stay still either.”

“Are you talking about the Jeongpa Alliance?”

“I don’t know much about that group either, but yes. Even at a glance, the two alliances are obviously in conflict. The Sado-ryeon is going to invade an ownerless land and commit atrocities? Furthermore, it is going to touch a local noble family that pursues justice and helps the people? How could a political party that likes a cause miss that?”

“indeed…”

Iron Man nodded, his heart aching. If he had this kind of insight, there would have been no reason for his younger brother to do such a thing in the first place. However, that thought was immediately denied by Yongwoon’s next words.

“But that doesn’t mean we can rest easy. If the Sado-ryeon had just come in, Cheolga would have been in danger.”

“What do you mean? Didn’t you just say that the Apostle wouldn’t move?”

“The Apostolic Alliance will not move. But won’t the small sects that were originally loyal to the Apostolic Alliance show their teeth at the Iron Gate?”

“ah!”

Philosopher Jae and Iron Man quickly came to their senses after hearing Yongwoon’s words.

The Apostolic Alliance is strong. When news spread that the Apostolic Alliance was entering Guangxi, didn’t many sects in Guangxi rush to prepare to welcome them?

What if the Iron House, which was a thorn in the eye of the Sado-ryeon, stood up at that time? What if he could receive recognition from them by directly destroying them?

There was no need for the Apostolic Corps to move directly. Those below them would take care of moving on their own.

The philosophy is silent.

“The tea murder case…!”

“Furthermore, if this Sega is staggering like it is now, there’s nothing better. Isn’t that right?”

The iron master nodded, stroking my chin.

“It’s only natural that Cheolga would be attacked. If you don’t… pledge your loyalty directly.”

“No. Didn’t I say there was a way?”

Yongwoon chuckled. Cheolhakjae felt that his laughter was somewhat eerie, but he couldn’t help but focus on the words that were coming out of his mouth.

“Before the Sadolyeon arrives, we need to clear out the other sects in advance. We need to cut off the hands that move unseen in advance.”

“Do you organize things in advance?”

“Spread the rumor. What happened today in Cheolga. The Gaju Cheolji-Cheok and Cheolson-Cheok fought and fought to the death, and Cheolga was also divided and fought against each other.”

“Are you saying that our family has become weaker?”

“That’s right. In Guangxi, where there is no strong political sect, the actions of Cheolga, who has been taking care of the people’s livelihood alone, must have already been unfavorable to them. If they show weakness, there will be those who will come forward first.”

“…They will cause trouble, so we should nip them in the bud. Before they connect with the Apostolic Union.”

“Your Majesty is quick to understand. Indeed, that is true. Even if they were not in love with the Apostle, they would not miss the opportunity to eliminate Cheolga. When they let their guard down, that is the opportunity.”

Yongwoon’s clever plan. After that, there was discussion about more detailed plans. In a situation where the fate of my family was at stake, Cheolhakjae and Cheolgaju were completely focused on the task… but on the other hand, they also had such thoughts.

It is truly a blessing for my family that this young man has come into my family’s life.

**

The very next day, a rumor began to spread in Guangxi Province. It was a rumor about a tragic incident that had occurred in the Guangxi Railway, which everyone in Guangxi knew.

“Have you heard the rumor? That the Iron Sword and Iron Counter have opened their eyes?”

“Is that all there is to the rumor? They say that Cheolonggeom fought Cheolhyeolgeom! In fact, it’s said that Cheolonggeom fell because his younger brother poisoned him.”

“That’s right. I saw it myself because the Iron House was so noisy that night. Those who followed the Iron Sword and those who followed the Iron Blood Sword were split in half and were fighting each other, so wasn’t that why it was so noisy?”

“What, what? Is that true?”

“Yes. I heard that the Iron Lord overcame the poison, but his body was not in good shape due to the bloody fight with his younger brother, and Cheolsun Cheok died. It is rumored that almost all of the other survivors were seriously injured. There was also a rumor that Cheolga had been wiping out all the nearby medicinal herbs for a while.”

“Something has happened. The iron fence has already collapsed before the Apostles even arrive… What should we do?”

“What can we do? We should stick to the survivors. Honestly, if it weren’t for the popular support that Cheolga had, it would have collapsed long ago. It’s just that the old pillars have finally collapsed.”

“There will be a bloody storm in Gwangseo…”

There was no one in Guangxi who did not talk about the fratricide between the Cheolga clans. Some were worried, some were just watching as if it was none of their business, and some were just licking their lips.

No one questioned how the lord had managed to overcome his half-year coma, or how the rumor had spread so quickly throughout Guangxi.

Except for one group and two beggars.

A week after the Iron Lord opened his eyes, a huge group came to the front gate. A bear-like man at the head of the group shouted loudly.

“The Iron House’s Iron House’s Iron House, show yourself quickly!”
