Chapter 25: Summoning

Luoyang Swordsmanship.

Foreign hospital.

“What do you mean…?”

An old man with a good appearance.

Elder Ho-jung (??), a senior member of the Luoyang Sword Family and also a member of the Outer Circle, asked Hak-un-hyeong, the head of the Outer Circle.

“Are you saying that someone out there is trying to lure our swordsman forces out of Luoyang?”

His tone was very tense.

It was natural, as urgent news had been delivered that the forces of the Luoyang Sword Family spread throughout Henan Province were being attacked from all over.

“Lure….”

Oewonju Hakunhyung nodded his head.

“That sounds correct, Elder Ho-jung.”

“then….”

Elder Ho-jung lowered his voice.

“It may not have been a real attack.”

Oewonju Hakunhyung slowly shook his head.

“But it could be real. It could be a mix of real and fake attacks.”

“… … !”

In that regard.

Elder Hojung took a deep breath.

“If that’s the case-.”

“-It’s the worst.”

Oewonju Hakunhyung lifted his palm, which was as big as a pot lid, and stroked his chin.

“I didn’t send reinforcements because I thought it was a fake attack, but if even some of it was mixed in with a real attack-”

“If that happens.”

Elder Hojung accepted the speech.

“The main forces outside of Luoyang, which are already divided, will be greatly shaken.”

“It’s a nursery rhyme….”

In the midst of the serious atmosphere, the head of the household, Hak-un-hyeong, smiled.

“Elder Ho-jung. Judging by your choice of words, you have truly become a foreigner.”

“What is that…?”

When Elder Hojung expressed his doubts with a blank expression, Hakunhyung, the head of the household, corrected his expression.

“Shattered.”

“yes?”

Oewonju Hakunhyung added.

“It’s not just a disturbance, the Luoyang Swordsmanship will start to be destroyed from the outside.”

“… … .”

To that harsh language.

Elder Ho-jung opened his mouth to say something in rebuttal, but then gave up and kept his mouth shut.

This was because, although the words of the foreigner Hakunhyung were very radical, they were not wrong.

“A new era is approaching in which the power map within the Central Plains will change. But the Luoyang clan is just folding its arms and not providing any help?”

The expression on the face of Hak-un-hyeong, the head of the household, who continued speaking, became heavy.

“Even once.”

He said it again, for emphasis.

“If that precedent is set even once, all the families outside the main family will start to doubt the main family. And when that happens… .”

He folded his arms and placed his hands on his knees.

“They will hold anyone’s hand to survive.”

“But, Lord of the Outer Garden…!”

Elder Ho-jung shook his head at the excessively far-fetched remarks of the outsider, Hak-un-hyeong.

“A one-time end? But that’s too extreme-!”

“-no.”

The foreigner, Hakunhyung, cut off his words.

“The problem is that this isn’t the first time. And…”

His heavy gaze was directed at Elder Hojung.

“You, Elder Hojung, would know best.”

“… … !”

The shock was clearly visible on Elder Ho-jung’s face.

Yes, that’s right.

He knew himself best.

The fact that this swordsman’s main family in Luoyang abandoned its outside followers is as the head of the family, Hakunhyeong, said.

This wasn’t the first time.

“… In the past, when the Supreme Lord fell.”

“exactly.”

At Elder Hojung’s words, Hakunhyung, the head of the household, nodded.

“At that time, many families, including Elder Hojung, experienced a break from their home in Luoyang.”

“… … .”

It was a time when the best sword in the world, Yeongeomun, had fallen and the Luoyang clan was in extreme chaos.

that.

It was a time when those abandoned outside had to do whatever it took to survive on their own.

“Quite a few people, no, many people are still alive and remember that time.”

Elder Hojung responded with a sigh to the words of Hakunhyung, the head of the household.

“… Yes.”

He covered his face with both hands as if he were extremely tired.

“… Really. With just one decision, I might lose everyone on the outside.”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Wonju Hakunhyung slowly nodded his head.

“…her.”

Elder Hojung looked up at the ceiling.

‘… Certainly.’

The person I was until recently.

I thought it would be okay if this family were to be torn apart.

However, after meeting the Archduke.

Now, just the ‘expectation’ that my family might be in trouble is enough to cause me to feel so greatly shaken.

How shallow and wicked is the human mind.

“… … .”

Elder Hojung shook his head with a bitter smile and asked Hakunhyung, the head of the household.

“Your Majesty, what will you do?”

“…first.”

During the short time that Elder Hojung was lost in thought, had he already figured out a way?

Knock knock.

The head of the household, Hakunhyung, raised his giant-like body from its seat and spoke.

“There is at least one thing we can do right now.”

“What can I do right now…?”

He showed me the note containing the urgent news that Oewonju Hakunhyeong had received.

“Opening the Abyss.”

“… … !”

As he watched Elder Hojung suddenly rise from his seat, Hakunhyung, the head of the household, smiled.

“I can’t confirm the opening right now, but isn’t the second-hand owner of Gaebongyeon-ga here right now?”

* * *

“oh…?!”

The person who discovered Elder Hojung.

The supporting cast of Gaebongyeonga, Yeonjodae (淵??), welcomed him.

“Besides, Elder Hojung was looking for you just now…!”

“Is that so…?”

Elder Ho-jung narrowed his eyes as he looked at the approaching Gaebongyeon song.

Is the sweat dripping down my body on this chilly autumn night proof that the situation in Gaebongyeonga is true, or is it not?

Is this evidence of deception that they want us to believe is true?

“Considering that, it took me quite a while to find the Lord…?”

“It can’t be helped…!”

Elder Ho-jung openly expressed his doubts, but it seems that the owner of Gaepoongyeon-ga is aware of this.

He answered nonchalantly.

“It’s probably because I was just appearing at the Executive Council meeting! Those damn things…!”

Elder Hojung asked.

“Have you requested assistance from the Executive Committee?”

“of course…!”

The accompaniment of the opening song shouted.

“But do you know what they said?! They said to wait…! What?! Wait?!”

He expressed his anger with a flushed face as if he could not hold back his anger.

“What kind of chaos is going on in Gaebong right now? Wait?! Is that something that anyone in their right mind would say?!”

“… Hmm.”

Elder Hojung fell asleep.

It wasn’t because I agreed with what the opening ceremony director, Buga Joo, said.

Because it was so difficult to read his true feelings.

“Those guys who act like they’re the Supreme Council members or something, they’ll definitely abandon us all like they did ten years ago!”

“… … .”

Elder Ho-jung had met countless people in the past to survive on his own, and he was still working in the foreign country, so he thought he was good at reading people.

“Damn it! I can’t just sit here and suck my hand!”

If he was someone who was as good as the supporting character in Gaebongyeonga, he would be someone who would tell lies with sincerity.

There was no way to determine the truth in a short period of time.

“so….”

Elder Hojung looked at him and asked.

“Do you plan to go outside and ask for help?”

“There are three streaks of smoke from the signal fire! Three streaks!”

The opening song’s additional note struck my heart.

“First, I should go into the city and visit the Namgung family or the Hwangbo family or whoever! It’s fortunate that they are in Luoyang thanks to the Yongbongjihoe…!”

“however….”

Elder Hojung’s wrinkled eyes narrowed.

“Didn’t you just say you were looking for me?”

In a way, it was a question of conversion.

“Ah! That’s right!”

but.

He grabbed Elder Hojung’s hand without giving him a chance to respond.

“For some reason, I can’t get in touch with the Namgung Sega Sword King!”

“that-.”

“-The Sword King even released a statement supporting the Oewonju, so why are you ignoring the contact of our Gaebongyeonga, who are like the same family as us?! Elder Hojung, please look into it right now…!”

“First of all, Your Majesty-.”

“-Please!”

Elder Hojung tried to catch him, but the father of Gaebongyeonga just kept saying what he wanted to say.

“I will go and see the Empress of the Huangbo family right now! And I will also ask for help outside of Luoyang!”

Then, he was about to leave the place in a hurry.

“Your Majesty…!”

“Please! I will trust you, Elder Hojung…!”

however.

“Wait a minute, Bugaju.”

A figure appeared on the other side who would block his path.

He was a giant so huge that his head touched the ceiling of the outdoor connecting hallway.

“Oiwonju, I don’t have the luxury of waiting…!”

The lead singer of Gaebongyeonga waved his hand and tried to pass by Hakunhyung, the head of the foreign country.

“Listen to Elder Hojung over there, then-!”

“no.”

Oh, and.

The outsider, Hak-un-hyeong, grabbed the shoulder of the girl who was playing the role of Gae-bong-yeon-ga.

“Outer circle… ?!”

It was natural that the Gaebongyeon Ga’s additional cast would become angry, and it was also natural that the Gaebongyeon Ga’s warriors who had been guarding them from a distance would show up.

“What the heck is this…?”

The voice of the opening song’s supporting actor, Yeonjo Dae, is full of murderous intent.

“Our Gaebongyeon-ga supports and supports you as the leader of the sect, have you forgotten who I am…?”

As is well known.

The outsider, Hakunhyung, didn’t have even a bit of internal energy.

But he is like he always has been.

“I have something to ask you, Your Majesty.”

He asked, facing the murderous intent of the Gaebongyeon song’s Bugaju with a blank expression, without even blinking an eye.

“Has Gaebongyeon-ga cut ties with me and started acting independently?”

The forehead of the person who added the opening song was distorted.

“What do you want to say-?!”

“-I asked if Gaebongyeonga was currently joining hands with external forces and trying to withdraw the troops of the Luoyang clan to the outside.”

A very direct question.

“… … !”

Elder Ho-jung, who had been listening from the side, unconsciously held his breath and clenched his fist.

His fists were clenched with sweat.

“You’re taking the main force out?”

He answered as if to ask what the opening song extra was about.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Then, with a skillful movement of his hands, he struck away the hand of the outsider, Hakunhyung.

“In this precious time, I don’t know what kind of dog-like thing they are doing!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Urrrr…!

The guards of Gaebongyeon-ga, who had been waiting for an opportunity, ran and stood between the two.

“That’s weird.”

Although the head of the household, Hak-un-hyeong, said so, the head of the household, Buga-ju, left without even looking back.

“I will go…!”

“No matter how much the decision to provide troop support is delayed at home, it is much faster than dealing with and coordinating with external forces.”

The head of the household, Hak Woon Hyung, asked him the back of his head.

“So, if there is a place where the Lord Bu-ga should put all his efforts, it should be here, the Luoyang home.”

“… … .”

The person who had been listening to the opening song up until then started walking again without giving an answer.

“but….”

Oewonju Hakunhyung spoke to him with a meaningful expression.

“Here, in the Luoyang home. If you knew that there was a ‘maid who could read people’s minds’, you should leave this place as soon as possible.”

“… … !”

It was only a very brief moment.

Elder Hojung felt the news of Gaebongyeon’s addition fluttering.

“… … .”

Then I saw him start to walk away at a faster pace.

“My Lord…!”

Elder Hojung spoke urgently to the outsider.

“Can’t we just send the author away like this…?!”

but.

The foreigner Hakunhyung was relaxed.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“yes…?!”

at that time.

“Opening ceremony additional notes, Yeonjo University.”

Chuck, cheo cheo cheo cheo cheo…!

The elite warriors of the Luoyang clan, fully armed, appeared.

“Where do you guys belong?!”

The besieged Gaebongyeonga Bugaju shouted between his escort warriors.

“Do you know who I am?! How dare you do this-!”

“-I know very well who you are.”

The one at the very front of the elite warriors held up the documents and spoke to the Gaebongyeon Ga Bu-gaju.

“Your Majesty the Bugaju Yeonjo-dae, you have been summoned by the Grand Duke Yeon So-hyeon.”
