The Legend of the Northern Blade Chapter 359

<-- Episode 359: Chapter 3 The Hero's Road, The Path of the Hero (3) -->

Damsucheon held his back and looked out the window. The panoramic view of Changcheonmun Gate came into view at a glance. There was no trace of what was once a branch of Unjungcheon anymore.

It was a literary school created solely by his own hands. Although the system of clans is not fully in place yet, it has reached a level where it would not be embarrassing to show it off anywhere.

The disciples of Changcheonmun were seen bustling about. Weapons were being checked and supplies were being loaded onto carts.

At that time, Seomun Hye-ryeong opened the door and came into the room.

“Thousands.”

“Are you here?”

“We’re almost ready to go.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Damsucheon smiled.

Chang Cheon-moon was about to compete. The destination was the Zhengyang area of ​​Shanxi Province. It was the place where the fierce war between Unjungcheon and Milya took place.

Unjungcheon formally requested Changcheonmun to participate in the war, and Damsucheon accepted their offer.

Until now, the war had been fought as a branch of Unjungcheon, but now it must be fought under the name of Changcheonmun. Depending on whether the war is won or lost, the status of Changcheonmun Gate will also change.

“But will it be okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“It means leaving only the minimum number of people to protect the main gate and putting all of our power into the battlefield. I don’t think it’s too risky. “Why not reduce the number of participants?”

“You can’t do that.”

“but… … .”

“I know what you’re worried about. But now is not the time to hesitate. Either risk everything, or stay silent like this. “There can be no middle ground.”

“I know.”

Seomun Hyeryeong sighed softly. Damsoo Cheon took Hye-ryeong’s hand in her preface. Her eyes, which had been momentarily distracted by the warmth coming from her hands, regained their original coolness.

“I have one thing to tell you.”

“Speak.”

“North Heavenly Gate… … “Jin Muwon said he was holding a Sichuan martial arts competition this time.”

“Sichuan martial arts competition? wherefore?”

Damsucheon’s eyes shone sharply.

“The answer is obvious. “I think they are trying to show off their power by uniting the Sichuan martial arts community.”

“Are you showing off your power?”

“We also have one sword. If you touch it any further than this, it might turn and do something. “I think it probably means something like this.”

“hmm! “That makes sense.”

Damsucheon shook his head. But his intentions were different.

‘That man is not the type of person who likes to show off. A man who can endure any humiliation for profit holds a Sichuan martial arts competition to show off his power?’

I didn’t think it was a freshwater stream.

He thought that in this era of chaos, only Jin Mu-won was qualified to be his opponent. It’s a strange thing to say, but I actually felt closer to Jinmuwon than my friend. And he seemed to be able to understand his thoughts much better.

Although they took different paths, ultimately, where they headed was the top of Gangho. As time goes by, eventually, they will be the only ones left at the top. When that time comes, you will know for sure. Who is truly the best drone?

Showing off his power without any reason does not suit Jin Mu-won’s actions so far. However, Damsucheon did not speak his thoughts out loud.

Whenever Jin Mu-won is mentioned, Seo Moon Hye-ryeong’s nerves get sharp. Normally, she was the type of person who made more level-headed judgments than anyone else, but when it came to matters related to Jin Mu-won, her perspective tended to narrow.

For that reason, Damsu-cheon tried to avoid talking about Jinmu-won to Seomun Hye-ryeong if possible. But since she was talking like this, she had to ask questions.

“What is the reaction of Moyong Grand Council?”

“Who knows what’s inside? “One thing is for sure: he will never sit idly by.”

“I guess so.”

“Leave the Northern Heavenly Gate to us and focus only on the war against Milya.”

“I understand.”

Damsucheon smiled.

It was just as Seomun Hyeryeong said. Now was the time to focus on the war against Milya. Unjungcheon decided to end the war with Milya as quickly as possible. Bringing in freshwater springs was also part of that plan.

‘Shanxi Province will be stained with blood.’

The blood-stained panorama of Shanxi Province was drawn into the eyes of the fresh water stream.

Many people will die. Even innocent people who had nothing to do with the war. But I couldn’t help it. To end this boring war, we have no choice but to make great sacrifices.

Freshwater Stream convinced itself like that.

The night of Bukmyeong-ro was reminiscent of a night castle. With the Sichuan Martial Arts Competition approaching, more and more people came to Myeyang. They gathered at Bukmyeong-ro and drank heavily.

Whenever two or more people gathered together, the story blossomed into stories about the Sichuan Martial Arts Competition. Thanks to this, Bukmyeong-ro and Myeongyang were enjoying the greatest boom in the last 100 years.

A large podium and rain stage were being built in the main hall of the Northern Heavenly Gate. Many young warriors entered Beukcheonmun and were assigned lodgings.

The atmosphere became lively as many musicians came in and played and had fun. Yeom Gwang-seol also sat on one side of the main performance hall and played the pipa. Yeom Cho-he sang next to him in a sweet voice.

Yeon Cho-ha’s voice rang out to the sorrowful tune of the pipa. Yan Choha’s voice was truly beautiful. Like a well-tuned instrument, her neck freely moves between high and low notes.

People closed their eyes and listened to her voice. People were already humming along to her voice. However, there was someone who looked at Yan Chuxia particularly coldly.

It was Major Ham who was glaring at Yeom Cho-he with his arms crossed. She had a slight furrow between her eyebrows.

“That kid’s singing is quite good.”

Ham Ji-pyeong, who was behind Major Ham, let out an exclamation. While traveling across the rivers and lakes for a long time, he heard many people’s songs, but no one moved people’s hearts like Yan Chu-ha. That’s how outstanding her singing skills were.

“joy! “Yes, it was just a lot of pretense.”

“Still, it’s not easy to have this level of singing ability at that age.”

“Well, it’s amazing.”

Ham Ji-pyeong smiled slightly at Major Ham’s sharp reaction. Because I think I can understand her daughter’s feelings.

‘In the first place, strong and promising talents are bound to be followed by beauties.’

For someone as talented as Kwak Moon-jeong, it was natural to receive the attention of many people. The weight given by the nickname Geomryongpyo was by no means small. Nonetheless, Ham Ji-pyeong supported her daughter, Major Ham.

‘Even if you don’t try so hard, Munjeong will never pay attention.’

Suddenly, I remembered the first time I met Kwak Mun-jeong.

At that time, Kwak Mun-jeong was nothing more than a mere trampoline in martial arts. However, his heart was broader and more just than any other major alliance in Gangho. Kwak Mun-jeong was the type of person who never changed once he gave his heart to her. It was impossible for such a person to betray the person he already had in mind and to have someone else in his heart.

However, Major Ham, who was still young, could not think that far and was wary of Yeom Cho-ha. So, at first glance, she felt like it was fun.

It’s a world where you can’t live alone. I had to live with people. When you live mixed with people like that, you inevitably have to experience the ups and downs of various emotions.

Emotions such as love, anger, jealousy, and competition were adult emotions that you could never feel if you lived alone. Now, Major Ham is mature enough to live with those feelings.

‘You grew up well.’

Ham Ji-pyeong’s eyes turned red. Even without her father’s help, she felt like she was in tears seeing her eldest daughter so wonderfully.

Ham Ji-pyeong thought he had come to Bukcheonmun in a good way. I felt like I could trust her and entrust my daughter to her here.

At that time, Yeomchoha father and daughter’s song ended. Although the pipa’s sound had stopped and Yeon Cho-ha was no longer singing, people could not easily escape from the lingering sound.

He smiled and greeted people. Yan Guangseol put the pipa on his back again.

“I’ll take a break for about an hour and sing again. I hope that the Grand Association will achieve good results at the Sichuan Martial Arts Competition.”

At that moment, applause poured in from everywhere. Yeomchoha made eye contact with each of them and greeted them. Then, my eyes stopped on Ham Cho-ryeong.

For a moment, the two girls’ eyes met in the air. At that moment, Yeon Chu-ha snorted and turned her head. Then, a deep furrow appeared between Ham Cho-ryeong’s eyebrows.

‘That fox… … .’

Ham Cho-ryeong bit his lip. In my heart, I immediately wanted to grab Yan Cho-ha by the hair and tell him to get away from Kwak Mun-jeong. However, I knew that if I did that here, my reputation would only be tarnished, so I tried to suppress my anger.

‘It bothers me.’

It wasn’t simply because of Kwak Mun-jeong. There was something about Yeom Cho-ha that got on Ham Cho-ryeong’s nerves. The woman’s horribly developed intuition sensed something strange about Yan Chuhe. But since she wasn’t sure yet, Major Ham didn’t show it.

Yeom Cho-ha and his wife passed by Ham So-ryeong and his wife. Major Ham watched Yeom Cho-ha’s back as she walked away.

I headed towards the dorm with a slow, anxious pace. The back of her head stung quite a bit, but she didn’t look behind her. Yan Guangxue, who was walking next to her, muttered in a low voice.

“hmm! Her attention was on you. “It’s going to be quite a pain.”

“No need to worry. “She just sees me as static.”

“In the first place, a woman’s jealousy is the most frightening thing.”

“Yes, I’m just a kid who doesn’t know anything about the world.”

Yan Chuhe snorted. Yan Guangxue smiled at him.

He and his daughter have worked in the information industry for a very long time. She wandered throughout the central plains disguised as a musician, so her experience was as great as that of an old military man. On the other hand, Major Ham was said to be a disciple of her co-sect, but she was an inexperienced youngster. She could not compare to her own daughter.

Yan Guangxue suddenly looked around. He made sure there was no one around, but his voice lowered.

“Anyway, the Northern Heavenly Gate is amazing. “I can’t see any loopholes in the border network.”

“that’s right. This is Yongdamhohyeol. “The layout of the palace is almost like a fortress.”

“You said the person who designed this place was Ha Jinwol, a soldier, right? You really are a great person. “To build such a fortress in such a short period of time.”

“That’s right. “Maybe the person we should pay most attention to is not Jin Mu-won, the owner of the house, but Ha Jin-wol, a soldier.”

“You’re right.”

Yan Guangxue agreed with Yan Chuhe.

They gathered information. Rather than general information that everyone knew, rare information was collected and sold at a high price. Of course, I needed to have a better perspective than others. They thought that He Jinyue was the most important figure in the Northern Heavenly Gate.

“What do we know about him?”

“I don’t have anything other than my three letters. “If I had to pick one thing, it would be that in the past, I was given the nickname ‘Three Brains’.”

“It is surprising that someone of such excellence remained unknown until now.”

“It probably means that he hid himself well.”

“right. He is indeed a very careful person. “Any information about such a person would definitely be sold at a high price.”

The two people smiled.

The information about Jin Mu-won was so widely known that it did not amount to much money. However, the information about Ha Jin-wol was different. If Jin Mu-won was a symbolic figure, Ha Jin-wol was the person who actually operated the Northern Heavenly Gate.

Depending on his inclinations, values, and perspective on the world, the movements of the Northern Heavenly Gate will also vary. In other words, if you understand him, you can predict the movements of the Northern Heavenly Gate in advance. Such information would certainly be worth a lot of money.

“The question is, how do you approach him?”

“We have great tools.”

“Are you talking about Kwak Sohyeop?”

“He is one of the few people who can enter and leave the residences of Jin Wenju and Commander Xia without hesitation.”

Yan Chuxia’s smile deepened. Yan Guangxue tapped Yan Choha’s forehead with his finger.

“You seem sleazy. “Where did such a pretty fox come from?”

“Thanks to my dad’s great teachings.”

“okay! Make good use of him. “If I can just get information about Ha Jin-wol, I can live comfortably without working for a while.”

“Of course.”

Yeon Cho-he answered emphatically.

Suddenly, Yan Guangxue looked back. I could feel the bustling atmosphere of the North Heavenly Gate. Even though they were missing, the sound of musicians’ bullets could be heard everywhere, and people’s boisterous laughter rang out.

Suddenly, a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

“But why doesn’t Jin Mun-ju show his face? Usually, when a competition like this is held, the owner shows his face.”

“You must be busy, right? “There won’t be enough time just to hold a meeting with the leaders of the Party, Army, and Qingcheng factions.”

“Is that so?”

“You know, most people in such high positions don’t show up in these situations. “I guess Jin Moon-ju is that kind of person.”

“Hmm! “Is that still the case?”

But Yan Guangxue’s expression did not relax. His gaze was directed towards the living quarters where Jin Mu-won was assumed to be.
