Chapter 187 -

Hundreds of unmanned soldiers exuding momentum like a blast of frost. And one person walking along the path they created.

jerk, jerk

Yangmin who came to watch, a nameless martial artist wearing an old uniform, and finally, the powerful people who move Shanseo.

Everyone was watching one person with bated breath.

Exactly, Jinwigyeong.

'It's like a scene from a movie.'

Wearing a uniform embroidered with a silver dragon, Jin Wi-gyeong's steps were unstoppable.

The dignified appearance and naturally flowing dignity overwhelm the audience.

The silence brought by Qin Yuqing was broken by his voice.

"Three hundred years since the original family took root in Taewon."

A cry of deep gongpower spread far and wide.

"The beginning was obviously shabby."

He said it was a confusing time. Natural disasters followed and the empire, which seemed to last forever, lost its power. War broke out when numerous warlords raised flags all over the world and claimed to be kings.

Instead of water, blood soaked the parched land, and the grain to be harvested was trampled under the feet of horses.

At the end of that long war, a man who had wandered the world stopped in the ruins of the old dynasty's capital.

That is the beginning of Taiyuan Jinga.

"Patriarch Jin Muryang, the ancestor, accepted orphans and took care of widows and the elderly. Although he set up martial arts as his banner, he never forgot humanity."

Small seeds sprouted quickly.

Those who gathered under the flag of Taewon Jinga were branches and stems, and they became hard yet deep roots.

The family from humble beginnings has grown into a giant tree that encompasses the entire Shanxi province.

"However, even the original family could not avoid the rise and fall."

Everything has slowly changed over time. Going through big and small events, the giant tree began to wither.

The wrong choice of the leadership, the invasion of foreign enemies, the betrayal of allies, and natural disasters that cannot be prevented by human power… … .

Before I knew it, many of the branches were broken and the thick leaves fell off.

"however!"

A thunderous cry erupted in an instant.

The voice that followed boiled like lava.

"We survived."

Although the branches and leaves were broken and fell, the roots remained intact.

"It may be shaken, but it is not rooted out."

If the roots remain, the tree will grow again. It will come alive and sprout abundant leaves as if it never happened.

like right now

"I swear as a Sogaju of Taewon Jinga."

thud!

Hundreds of weapons hit the floor. Invisible heat rose from the warriors of Taewonjinga, all of whom knelt on one knee.

"we are! Taewon's true value!"

It is an oath to the many family members of Taewon Jinga, everyone present here, and the enemies who have yet to show their teeth.

"Three hundred years ago and three hundred years from now, I will be here without any change!"

thud! thud!

"I will ask everyone!"

Two eyes pouring out flames swept the crowd. Jin Wi-gyeong, whose eyes were a mixture of excitement and anticipation, fear and guilt, shouted.

"Are you ready to lay a new cornerstone with the original family!"

A huge shout erupted around the warriors of Jinga in Taewon.

"Chung!"

thump, thump thump thump!

Just then, a clear voice came from somewhere.

"Can we also join Taewon and Jinga on the path they want to go?"

The place where the voice came from was neither the top seat where I was seated nor the VIP seat below it.

The owner of the voice appeared as the countless crowds that had surrounded the grand banquet hall opened the way.

'That person… … :

Instead of a sky-high palace commander, a comfortable uniform and a mature appearance that was not suitable for her age, she politely took a fist at Jin Wi-gyeong.

"Lee So-wol of Hangsan Checkpoint has arrived now after being called by Lord Soga."

The middle-aged man standing next to her, Lee So-wol, like a steel tower, also revealed his identity in a gruff voice.

"Iljangro Cheolmubaek see Sogaju of Jinga in Taewon."

Then, the soldiers of the Hangsan Checkpoint, which were established behind the two, shouted.

"Meet the Lord Soga!"

Agitation and chatter spread among the people.

The appearance of Hangsan Checkpoint in a situation on the verge of extinction.

The identity of the new Munju is the only daughter of the deceased Blood Rang Sword, and the one who claims to be the elder by her side is Cheol Mu Baek, the San Ho of Hang.

However, in this situation where everyone was surprised, Jin Wi-gyeong's expression was calm.

It has to be. Because he is the one who sent me the invitation to the fabric.

"This is the first time I have met Sojeo in person. Did you receive the invitation letter I sent you last time?"

"yes. Add to that… … After answering calmly, Sowol Lee raised her head and stared at her.

"I received grace that I dare not repay."

My face stings from the flying gaze.

Everyone in Shanseo Province knows that Jin Moo-gyeong and I saved the Hangsan checkpoint, so it's a natural reaction.

She smiled faintly at me and looked at Jinwigyeong.

——————

"I would like to hear the answer to the question I asked earlier."

Lee So-wol took a deep breath. Her eyelids quivered.

"We too… … Can I go with Taewon Jinga?"

There was no hesitation in Jin Wi-gyeong's answer that followed.

"Of course."

"I ask this time. Are you ready to go with your family?"

dump.

Lee So-wol got down on one knee instead of answering. Cheolmu Baek and his subordinates were no exception.

"Lee So-wol, the head of the Yidae Gate of Hangsan Checkpoint, swears to the God of Heaven and Earth."

The Hangsan Checkpoint, which once commanded the Shanxi Murim. The new Munju, who inherited the bloodline, knelt down to Jinwigyeong.

No, I was on my knees at Taewon's true value.

"I will give my allegiance to the true value of Taewon."

"insect!"

Although the number was small, the call was loud. Jin Wi-gyeong grabbed Lee So-wol by the shoulder and pulled him up.

With a naturally changed tone of voice.

"I allow it."

First day of fabric. It was the moment when Taewon Jinga accepted Hangsan Checkpoint as a vassal.

"Wow!"

"Taewon Jinga! Taewon's true value!"

cheers, and cheers.

The crowd of about a thousand enthusiastically chanted the name of Taewon Jinga.

'Because it was that great.'

From the speech that makes the listener's blood boil, to the oath of allegiance of the Hengshan Inspector.

'The ending is awesome.'

The real banquet hasn't even started yet, but everyone in this room must have realized it.

Cheol-woo, who sat next to Lim, who was the loser of Shanseo Province, possessing both great strength and mercy, was no exception.

"… … Huh."

The simple ignorant and self-assured guy had a look of admiration.

'A child knows something.'

It's childish, but I can't help but shrug my shoulders. I'm not only a member of Taewon's Jinga, but I've also contributed a lot to being here today.

"Hmm, hmm. Were you impressed?"

"It was really great. My heart was racing the whole time I was watching it."

Cheol-woo continued with a voice full of excitement.

"How can you be so beautiful!

"I'm not bragging, but Taewon's Jinga is this popular in Shanseo… … what?"

what did i hear now

After hesitating, I asked in a trembling voice.

"You're not talking about our big brother, are you?"

"what?"

"Why are you like that? I like that guy's muscles. I want to take off each other's under armor while bench pressing with that person. what such… …

"What bullshit is that?"

Cheol-woo frowned. Judging by the expression, it doesn't seem like it.

"Or you're lucky. I thought I was gay again."

"gay? what else is that?"

"That, to put it likewise, it's like the process of meeting a pair of digdas and becoming a Ductrio."

"I can't quite understand. Please explain briefly."

I came up with one of the simplest words.

"Indigo (male color)."

"This child… … !"

Cheol-woo, who was about to raise his fist immediately, hesitated. It was because Baek Moo-seong, the death penalty, was sitting right next to him.

Volcanic Ilhak buff honey.

I smiled and asked.

"So what is beautiful?"

"Woman! That woman who said she came from the Hengshan Checkpoint!"

"Oh, Sowol Lee?"

Technically, he is Munju, but it is still more convenient to call him Sojeo.

Cheol-woo's eyes sparkled at my rather familiar attitude.

"Oh, do you know me?"

"There is a little connection."

"What relationship?"

It's a relationship that starts with a sexual harassment scandal and ends with a proposal.

"bothered. Because it's too turbulent to tell. However, I looked at Cheol-woo, who was vaguely speechless.

"Are you interested in this Sojeo?"

"You're interested!"

Seeing Cheol-woo jumping up and down, I feel a little relieved.

"yes? I thought you were really interested when you said, "My heart is beating." …

"I am not interested! This is love."

"Three children would be appropriate. Two girls left."

"… … Uh, let's continue again."

"I'm going to raise a hwanggu, too. I heard that raising a dog with a dog from an early age is good for children's emotional growth. It will be a happy family."

I was about to call him an idiot, but suddenly stopped.

'I think I've seen this scene somewhere.'

Where did you see it? For some reason, it feels like I'm being pricked somewhere.

Strangely, why does it remind me of Mr. Songi and Mr. Kkeokjeong who would be in reality?

'That's so strange.'

I put my doubts aside and opened my mouth.

"Are you done?"

"It is not over yet."

"Then pretend it's over and listen to me. It's important."

Cheol-woo stopped at the serious voice.

"What's important?"

"Yes. How old are you?"

"Twenty-five."

"Do you know how old this is?"

"I do not know."

"Seventeen. Ah, the year has passed, so you are eighteen."

"so?"

"So what is it, this is a cub! Leaving aside the seven-year age difference, school meals, palm! uh? Now you have to decide between Literature and Science! What are your grades going to be?"

Cheol-woo made an absurd expression in my anger.

"What do you mean? It's the perfect age to get married."

"Oh sorry. I was so excited."

As an older brother with a school lunch younger sister, I have no choice but to empathize with him.

I keep forgetting that this place is Moorim.

"Anyway, think carefully. Don't be swayed by fleeting emotions."

"no."

Cheol-wu's face softened in a daze after he answered sternly.

"I felt it the first time I saw her. My heart, which had been stopped all my life, started beating."

"… … So you've been dead for twenty-five years?"

"Die? Yes, you're right. Before I met her, I was as good as a corpse."

"Can't you really die? please die."

"Can not be done. I am now in a state where I can neither die nor live without her permission."

"… … Wow, damn it."

Baek Moo-seong and Eun-hyang, who were listening to our conversation, shook their heads.

"It's another start."

"Brother, didn't you say something similar to the pretty one among the three disciples last year?"

Even a habitual offender this?

'No, not some kind of serial confessor.'

It was at that moment when Cheol-wu threw a tantrum at the exposure of Eun-hyang's dark history.

"Princess Jin."

A sweet voice reached my ears.

When I turn my head, there is a woman coming up the stairs, no. saw a girl

'Lee So-wol.'

It was her.
