Chapter 7: Not Flying and Not Crying
The entire household was in shock.
This was because the series of strategies that Yeon So-hyeon had laid out for Gaebongyeon-ga (Opening a Deep Sea) were absurdly appropriate.
“…We ourselves cut off the opening song-.”
“-In a situation where the cut-off Gaebongyeon song is under attack, he is used as an excuse to drive out the existing head of the household-.”
“-The new head of the household is once again making us pledge our loyalty to the Luoyang Sword Family….”
“Besides, the new head of the household is someone the chairman has already arranged in advance?”
“her…!”
Those who had nothing to say could only stick out their tongues.
“hmm.”
Yeon So-hyeon looked down at them from the stage and smiled with satisfaction.
“It seems like everyone likes this talented person’s skills.”
“under…!”
The head of Geomga Construction laughed loudly at Yeon So-hyeon’s words.
“If you don’t like this, you must be the most stupid person in the world!”
He waved his hand, which held a smoking cigarette, in the air.
“It’s just a plan to swallow up one of the most powerful collateral families by cutting ties and then accepting them again…!”
His voice rang out loud in the hallway.
“How could anyone not like this…?!”
“… … .”
“… … .”
of course.
No one immediately objected.
“under…!”
The head of the Geomga Construction Company shook his head with a hollow laugh.
“You’re crazy, you’re crazy…!”
He seemed to feel a tingling sensation all over his body.
“These days, everyone only talks about the Chairman’s martial arts skills that defeated the Sword King of the Namgung Family, but this is the Chairman’s true power…!”
His series of cries.
It was also a cry to those who were still neutral and had not made up their minds about Yeon So-hyeon, or those who were hostile to Yeon So-hyeon.
And just like the intention of the Chief Architect of Geomga Architecture.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Many of the people who were filling the casket looked at Yeon So-hyeon with renewed eyes.
Starting with punishing the corrupt security corps leader Ban Wang-gi and the vice-leader of Gaebongyeon-ga.
Even a plan to get everything back from Gaebongyeonga.
“Let me say this first.”
Yeon So-hyeon shrugged her shoulders and made a playful expression toward the audience.
“Even if everyone looks at me with such passionate eyes, I won’t accept your proposal.”
There was light laughter here and there at Yeon So-hyeon’s joke.
There were quite a few people who were impressed.
How difficult it is to control and put down the atmosphere of this heavy household.
Because the highest-ranking officials here knew best.
At that time.
“…but.”
There was someone who opened his mouth in a serious voice.
It was the external head of the school, Hakunhyung.
“One thing.”
He raised his huge hand and held up one finger, saying:
“There remains a critical variable in the Chairman’s strategy.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
In that regard.
Many people in the audience looked at Yeon So-hyeon.
“hmm…!”
“Hmm…!”
And they were amazed at their own actions.
They are not asking the outsider, Hak-un-hyung, what variables remain, but reflexively.
This was because he was checking Yeon So-hyeon’s expression to see if she was offended.
“Everyone, there’s no need to be nervous.”
As a matter of course.
Yeon So-hyeon, who noticed the signs like a ghost, smiled at the audience.
“I’m like my father. I like people who are capable of opposing my opinions.”
“That’s a bit unexpected.”
The person who spoke as if it was interesting was someone who had never opened his mouth before.
“Refinery.”
Yeon So-hyeon pretended to know her.
But even if you aren’t Yeon So-hyeon, you can’t help but know her.
This was because the old craftsman with one eye blind was the person at the top of all the blacksmiths in the Luoyang Swordsmanship.
“What’s surprising?”
At Yeon So-hyeon’s question, she giggled, revealing her teeth that were completely damaged from decades of hammering.
“I thought that if you were the chairman, you would quote your mother’s words more than your father’s.”
Until now.
She was the type of person who always kept her mouth shut and steadfastly maintained neutrality in all political arenas, both within and outside her family.
It was she who opened her heavy mouth and joked with Yeon So-hyeon first.
It was the moment when one of the giant industries that maintained the Luoyang Swordsmanship showed favor to Yeon So-hyeon.
“It can’t be helped.”
but.
Yeon So-hyeon reacted to her nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal.
“According to my mother, a rebellious child deserves to be spanked. But how can I spank a foreigner’s butt?”
“That would be worth seeing…!”
Hahaha.
As the laughter of the smelter echoed throughout the house, Yeon So-hyeon asked Hak Woon-hyung, the head of the household.
“So. What is the variable, the exogenous one?”
Hak-un-hyeong, who had been quietly looking at the smelting field, took his eyes off her and opened his mouth.
“The person who has to implement all of these strategies on site is Yeon Ha-eung.”
“hmm…!”
“Hmm…!”
There were murmurs of silence here and there.
“Yeah, that’s true.”
“Don’t you have to not only use strategy, but also make it successful?”
“Yu Gak Pung Moon is an interesting man, but is he really…?”
As you can see from Yeon-ha-eung’s nickname, “the rumor with legs”.
His reputation was closer to that of a famous entertainer than a man of skill.
“In our academy, we highly regard his skills, but….”
Oewonju Hakunhyeong cautiously expressed his concerns to Yeonseonhyeon.
“I don’t know if he’s the best person for this mission.”
Okay then.
“Puhahahahahahaha…!”
Yeon So-hyeon burst into loud laughter like never before, and the audience looked at him in astonishment.
“Mr. Chairman…?”
When Wonju Hakunhyung called him in a trembling voice, Yeonsohyun raised his hand.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a foreigner.”
Yeon So-hyeon shook her head as if she had lost.
“I never imagined that Yeon-ha-eung’s camouflage skills would be so good that they could fool even the eyes of a foreigner…”
“What do you mean…?”
The foreigner, Hakunhyung, asked.
“Are you saying that the rumored Yu Gak-pung-moon Yeon Ha-eung has been hiding his true self from everyone until now…?”
While he was asking questions.
I felt my doubts growing deeper.
“Why did he have to do that…?!”
While we were talking.
The eyes of the foreigner Hakunhyung grew wide.
“no way…?!”
He asked Yeon So-hyeon with an expression of disbelief.
“Are you saying that since he was kicked out of Gaebongyeon-ga, he has been deceiving Gaebongyeon-ga’s eyes? In order to survive and avoid their control until the day he returns to Gaebongyeon-ga…?”
“Sometimes.”
Yeon So-hyeon smiled.
“To get everything, you have to risk everything yourself.”
* * *
“Have you heard the news…?!”
Gaebongyeonga (Opening the Abyss).
The night sky beyond the wall was dyed red.
Woorung-!
The occasional faint sound of gunfire proved that the red night sky was not the afterglow of the sunset.
“What news…?!”
The chief of the warehouse in charge of all the warehouses in Gaebongyeon-ga personally helped with the distribution of combat supplies and shouted.
“The city of Kaifeng is on fire…?! Or, the remaining Kaifeng gates could be breached by that damn artillery fire at any time…?!”
He carried combat supplies on the shoulders of his servants with a terrifying strength that belied his age.
“If you’re going to babble like that and call it news, then stop carrying the load on your back as an elder and come here and give me a helping hand!”
“-That’s not it!”
“Then what’s the news-?!”
Normally, the elder would have quietly disappeared knowing the nature of the situation, but this time it wasn’t the case.
“-The Luoyang Sword Family…! The Luoyang family has expelled our Gaebongyeonga…!”
“…what?”
The sweaty face of the hardened bodyguard turned towards the elder.
“What did you say just now…?”
The general couldn’t tell whether the sweat running down his wrinkled face was from his labor or a fresh cold sweat.
“The reinforcements from the Luoyang Sword Family are not coming, Guan Jian Zhang…!”
The look on the elder’s face when he brought the news was shock, fear, and… .
“This is all because the head of the household brought troops from his hometown of Luoyang and asked the evil hegemon to attack our Gaebongyeon-ga…!”
It was anger.
“What the heck…?!”
Kwarung…!
As the general’s feet hit the floor, the huge warehouse shook with a thunderous sound.
“I’ll run over there and bust this bastard’s skull right now…!”
The body of Gwan-Geon-Jang, who was about to run there shouting, stopped.
“…wait for a sec.”
He looked back at the elder.
“No matter how much I think about it, that news is more information than news, and it’s a top-secret secret, isn’t it?”
He asked the elder as if he was suspicious.
“How does an elder like you, who is in charge of a bustling area, know that? I’m not interested in politics, so let’s say that. If you know that much, doesn’t that mean that all the elders in this family know everything…?”
The elder’s answer was short and concise.
“The rumor of the floating pond…!”
It has one name.
It was the moment that answered all the questions that Gwan-Gyeon-Jang had asked.
“Ah, this damn son of a bitch…!”
The general pulled out a sword that had been stored in the warehouse and shouted out loud.
“Everyone, take up your weapons and follow me…!”
* * *
By the time hundreds of warehouse servants arrived at the office of the Gaebongyeon family head, carrying pickaxes, sickles, flails, hammers, etc.
“omg…?!”
“Stop…! Stop…!”
They could tell that they were the last to arrive.
“Come out now, Gaju…!”
“We need to find out what happened right now…!”
As usual.
The front yard of the head of the household’s office, which had been unnecessarily large, was teeming with an enormous number of people.
“My family lives in that city…!”
“Are you the one who brought those Sapacheon guys in…?”
There was no distinction of status or social standing in the composition of the crowd.
From the manager to the maid who cleaned the back room.
The crowd was surging like waves, full of anger.
and.
“Don’t come any closer…!”
There was an elite group of warriors from the Gaebongyeon dynasty who formed the final line of defense.
“The Lord said that anyone who approaches should be cut off…!”
“The sword has no eyes, so you must be prepared to lose your head…!”
Despite the huge number of people who gathered, the final line of defense has not been broken through yet, and that is precisely why they are the ones who did it.
but.
“You fucking dogs…!”
“You, who should go out and fight to protect your family, are pointing your swords at the heads of your family…!”
“Call the host…!”
The situation was heading towards a critical situation.
It was clear that soon the frenzied crowd would surge in and turn the front yard into a sea of blood.
at that time.
“What the heck is going on…?!”
With a loud roar.
The pivotal moment of Gaebongyeon-ga, which had leapt forward after stepping on the shoulders of the crowd, landed.
“Everyone inside must be having a meeting?!”
The general shouted at the warriors with his sword drawn.
“I have to go in right now…!”
“If you don’t put down your sword…!”
of course.
There was no way the warriors would allow that.
“No matter how great you are, you cannot enter…!”
“…Fuck!”
Guan Jianzhang, whose hair stood on end and who was trembling with anger, threw his sword to the floor and shouted.
“Is it okay now?!”
“Well, that’s true, but….”
As the warriors hesitated at the sight of the murderous spirit of the general, he pushed them forward and advanced.
“Then, get out of the way…!”
bang…!
The office door was smashed open to the left and right by the force of the hammer.
“Didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding?!”
“Go! Are you going to throw away our Gaebongyeon-ga just because of a simple misunderstanding that the Luoyang family is crazy?!”
“How on earth are you going to take responsibility for this situation…?!”
No one in the office that was already a mess.
I didn’t even care that the door to my office was broken.
but.
“house owner—–!”
Everyone was terrified at the sight of the old man, Gwan-geon-jang, who was also the chief warrior of Gae-bok-yeon-ga, and could not help but look back.
“Wow, the key point…?!”
The general pointed at Gaju with his thick hand and shouted with fire coming out of his eyes and mouth.
“If you don’t step down from your position immediately, I will tear off your limbs and force you to step down…!”
“Wait a minute, Gwan Geon Jang…!”
The head of the Gaebongyeon-ga, who imitated that of the Luoyang family, tried to stop him.
“I agree with the head of the family stepping down, but then who should be chosen as the head of the family in this situation…?!”
“… … .”
“… … .”
spurt.
The son-in-law fell into silence at that question.
And one, two.
To that place where very suspicious eyes are directed.
“Huh…?”
It looks like a screw is missing.
The owner of the frivolous voice that was completely out of place in this situation shrugged his shoulders with a friendly smile that was completely out of place in this situation.
“Hey, this is it. Is it finally my turn to step forward?”
After checking his face, Gwan-geon-jang put his hand on his forehead with a sigh full of disbelief.
“… younger.”
