Chapter 274 - Beware the Musketeers
The expression of Namgung Byeok, the Sword King, who was resting for a while after finishing breakfast, was as calm as usual.
Surprisingly, the Namgung family suffered little damage.
Not only did the 12 of them walk around together, but it was also because Namgoong-yeon, who had a good mind and spirit, led them well.
As he was thinking about the schedule to return to Cheonjimaeng, Namgoongyeon approached him.
"Father."
"Huh? What's going on?"
Although they are father and daughter, Namgung Byeok, who has an extraordinary daughter, corrected his posture.
Unlike the son who runs to him for trivial matters, the daughter comes only when there is a serious matter, so he is nervous without knowing it.
“I heard from the brother this morning. He said he had entrusted the Spirit of the Heavens with him.”
For a moment, Namgung Byeok misunderstood that she was trying to say something about her daughter's passing the Great Murder Castle to Yeonjeokha.
“Ah, that was done to deceive the soul-blood demon. I thought if I went to the Twelve Horsemen it would end the fight. He explained it so well to the brother.”
"no. I didn't ask for that.”
“Is that so? Then why?”
“I heard that my father threw stones at the Spirit of Heaven. Were the martial arts of the soul-blood demon so great that your father had to use such various means?”
Only then did Namgung Byeok know that her daughter was curious.
"Hmm. I once fought with two Baekduma soldiers in Namgung family. The Spirit of Heaven was a truly outstanding master, completely different from them. Just as the martial arts of the twelve horsemen varied greatly, I realized a new that the Baekdu horse army was also like that. Honcheon-blood is one of the ten best masters in the world. It was the first time in my life that I felt intimidated by anyone.”
“I see. Now I think I know why my father acted the way he did.”
“Isn’t that why you used the chemicals?”
"no. I asked to set fire to the walnut mountain because there was a scar on it. I came to know about the martial arts of the Honcheon-Blood Demon after hearing from my father.”
"Her! I see. That must be the heavenly spirit, right?”
“I can only guess the big flow from the sky. You don’t know why, specifically, until you experience it.”
“Didn’t you say that Diocese is in greater danger than Walnut Mountain?”
"Yes."
“How much is it?”
“We suffered great damage, but we survived. Gyogu-hyeon was not an evil, but a murder. It must be because of someone in Gyogu-hyeon that the Honcheon-hyeolgwi, who was called the Celestial star in the past, went down to the chest. Maybe he's the real Celestial. He will only be able to come back alive if he is a top ten master.”
“Tsk! Otherwise, you won't be able to ask the musketeer about this."
No one could blame him for putting Zhuge Ga in such a great danger.
"So, you'd better not join the ranks of criticizing the musketeers later."
"i get it."
After thinking about something for a moment, Namgung Byeok asked as if passing by.
"Is it because you didn't inform the musketeer of the danger in the prefecture because there was no basis?"
"No. The Musketeer has pushed us to the limb with inaccurate information. With the ability of the Privy Council (樞密閣) he manages, he would have known the number of twelve horses. But he only said that a few fell out. Now he is the enemy of our Namgung family. You don't have to be lenient with your enemies.”
“Internal divisions should not occur in the face of a strong enemy. Couldn't you try to solve it by talking to him?"
“He went too far for that. He's on his way to a affair right now.”
“Have an affair?”
“Chilpaimun and the five generations are killing the madou by going to Gangho. Being praised as a knight even after killing people is because of a certain cause. But if someone kills a wicked person for their own gain, it is murder.”
“You mean the musketeer is doing that behind his back?”
"You'll find out when you go back to Heaven and Earth."
“What will you find out?”
“If he is a knight, two people will be alive, and if he is a villain, two people will be dead.”
“… … .”
Namgung Byeok did not ask who the two were.
Prolonged conversations with his daughter would make his head go awry and he would go blank.
Even now, he blamed himself for bringing up the story of the musketeers.
Namgung Byeok, who was thinking about something else for a moment, heard Namgung Yeon's voice in his ears.
“I don’t think my father has yet to accept the enemy’s inaction. So, he must have done something like throwing rocks, or tricking the celestial demon, right?”
Namgung-yeon swallowed the word ‘simple’.
If it weren't for his father, he would have skipped the word and sweetened it.
“Do you think that the yeon jeok-ha can defeat the celestial demon?”
Namgung Byeok couldn't believe that her daughter valued her younger brother so highly.
This is because she is an opponent who is difficult to guarantee victory or defeat even herself.
"Well. However, she would not have been an easy opponent even for the Heavenly Ghost. Father thinks that the soul celestial spirit has withdrawn for her twelve-horse, right?”
"Then she didn't hurriedly withdraw to avoid losing any more bottles of the Twelve Horses?"
“If he had the certainty of victory, she would have fought against the brother without caring about what happened to the Twelve Horses. But he left without regret.”
“… … .”
Only then did Namgung Byeok realize that she did not acknowledge the inaction of Yeonjeokha.
It seems that she still only thought of him as the youngest of Waryongjang.
“The magic dragon was floating in the smoky sky. Can you defeat the invisible demon dragon with your sword?”
“Will it be difficult?”
“You said that the dragon had a sword stuck in its head, right? Did the brother come down after you?”
“It was.”
"How did the brother get to the dragon's head?"
“… … .”
Namgung Byeok shrugged her shoulders as if he didn't know.
“So, father, don’t try to see him only with memories of the past.”
She put strength into the word 'father too'.
Maybe he didn't even know what he was talking about.
She calls herself ‘Mom’ and tells her not to think of the crying Yeonjeokha.
He is a completely different person from when he was an abused child.
Namgung Byeok nodded her head coolly.
Listening to her daughter, it is clear that she only saw her rival as a child. She doesn't know why she keeps forgetting that he is the second-in-command of Green Forest.
“Admit it. I guess I'll have to change my mind a bit. By the way, how are you? When I look at you and Jeokha these days, I see them as they were when we were young.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“It means don’t take care of too much, and take a look at the things around you.”
“How can I look around me anymore?”
“I am not asking you to help me with my work. I saw Seonwoo family's sogaju hovering around you. You didn't even look at them.”
“Emotions between a man and a woman do not arise through artificial efforts.”
"Well, that's true, but you can't even come next to me, so how can there be a change in your feelings?"
“I didn’t know my father had a good relationship in mind.”
“Rather than that, I wanted someone to keep me by your side.”
“You think I didn’t go alone?”
“Yes, I must say, but I am not your brother. It means to surround yourself with people who will help you in your life.”
“I think that is enough.”
“Of course, there is more than enough. But how can a person live with his family for the rest of his life? Well, it's me, it's fine if you're by my side."
“I don’t intend to be with my father for the rest of my life.”
Instantly, a flash of light flashed in Namgung Byeok's eyes.
It was the first time I heard her talk like this while raising her Namgungyeon.
But before he could inquire further, she turned to Namgung-yeon.
“Father, beware of the musketeers.”
“Don't worry too much. No matter how much I fly and jump, it's not even a handful.”
“You have a mind to slash him if you have to. He's brilliant, and if he hesitates, he might be beat you.”
“Tsk! Still, he is the musketeer of the Heavenly League. The head of the family of Zhuge is openly doing bad things. Will you punish him?”
“You know ten ways under water, but you don’t know one way under people. If it doesn't feel right, cut first at any time. Leave it to me to prove that he deserves to die.”
"OK. I get it. Since you say that, I will also give up my last expectations for him.”
After hearing Namgung Byeok's answer, Namgung Yeon moved away from her seat.
Namgung Byeok shook her head excitedly when she saw her daughter go to Yeon Jeokha and her heartache.
“No, I’m constantly looking for something over there. It's not like I entrusted you with a jar of honey. Tsk!”

Jujakdae and Ligament, which had left for Mt. Hodu, returned to Cheonjimaeng after 15 days.
After their return, Cheonjimaeng suffered from internal conflict.
It is because the non-partisan faction and Seonwusega impeached the musketeers in public.
The new investigator, Jegal Seung-woon, was not just beaten.
Based on the report of the Privy Council, he fell assuming that his scapula and ligaments set fire to the walnut mountain.
The fire at Waldu Mountain was extinguished within a day, but the damage to civilians was greater than expected.
Every time the representatives of Chilpaimun and Ohdaesei gathered, they fought a war of words over impeachment and arson.
However, there was no conclusion as both sides gave good reasons for doing so.
Contrary to the expectations of the shamans and the Sunwoo family, which were firmly awaited, public opinion leaned toward the musketeers.
The reason was simple.
People acknowledged the lack of information, but did not think it was a big mistake that two squadrons dealt with one Baekdu Horse Army and seven Twelve Horsemen.
There are 7 Baekdu horse troops in Myungji, and about 670 12 horse soldiers.
Cheonjimaeng is one of the four best masters in the world and seven.
It was also true that it didn't seem wrong when you think about 'how many of each were mobilized out of the total?'.
Regarding the results of Waldusan, some even said that 'Cheonjimaeng is not a match for famous religion'.
Two generations and one master in the 120's suffered a lot from a hundred-headed horse army and seven twelve-horse soldiers, so such words are likely to come out.
Ordinary people tend to side with the strong, apart from sympathizing with the weak.
When it became known that Baekduma Army's martial arts was approaching the tenth highest level, public sentiment leaned back toward famous religion.
Cheon Ji-Meng and his merchants moved to the famous bridge one by one.
The breakwaters that distanced themselves from Myunggyo Bridge are also heading toward Myunggyo Bridge.
stuck again
This is a bad thing for the Cheonjimaeng.
However, it is not that there were only bad things in the Chunjimaeng.
The genius of Namgung-yeon was newly illuminated by the painting of Hodusan.
Her nickname was solidified to ten times in her pragmatic reading.
If Hwa-Yong-Doksim is a small compliment to one's appearance and talent, then the lord of ten battles is the recognition of people in the world.
People praised Empress Dowager Ten for overpowering the enemy's steamship with fire and putting out the fire using the time of the sky.
For those who were disappointed with the sluggish performance of new investigator Jegal Seung-woon, Empress Dowager Ten(namgung yeon) was a new hope.
The comedians openly ridiculed him, saying, "Shin Ki-soo can't even follow the heels of 10 warlords."

A man and a woman were sitting with serious faces.

“As I was worried, Namrin and Muyoungshintu Baekkyo died. Now, it is no longer possible to know who bought the Tathagata libation. I should have given you a clearer warning so that Baekkyo could understand, but it was my mistake.”
She said as if Namgoongchun didn't care.
“Why is that your mistake? They had dug their own graves. In particular, didn't Baegyo cast you out even after knowing that Namrin was dead? He sleeps like a moth to a fire. It's my fault for jumping into the fire knowing he might die.”
