Dang Gwang-ryeol was so busy that he couldn’t even open his eyes.

It was no exaggeration to say that the influence of the Tang family extends throughout the world. Even if we exclude all influence as a Murim royal family, they were purchasing medicinal ingredients from all over the world, making medicines from those medicinal ingredients, and supplying them to the world.

Is it just that? There are countless requests for metal processing that come our way. Requests are pouring in from noble ladies who want to own beautiful precious metal crafts, and there are also many requests for small and precise metal parts.

Since all the ledgers and documents that could prove such numerous transactions have been lost, Tang family writers are now wrapping their heads and weaving their memories onto paper.

That wasn’t the only thing Dang Gwang-ryeol had to worry about.

Since the deadly poison was leaked near Dangata, it was necessary to control the area and prevent secondary damage from the poison, and to create a new production site for poison and poison for the safety of more than a thousand Dangga personnel and for future battles.

Dang Gwang-ryeol was literally concentrating on recovering from the damage by losing sleep at night.

“Come in.”

Tang So-yeol came to Tang Gwang-ryeol’s residence, where the light was not turned off until late at night.

“Okay, what happened?”

“I will leave along Hocheonan.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol’s hand stopped.

“Hmm…”

Tangga craftsmen usually produce about one or two non-membrane machines per month. But would you really be able to memorize one thing in that one month period?

It wasn’t.

Craftsmen use their passion and passion to create several non-memorizing machines.

However, many of the items made by artisans do not pass the strict screening criteria and are not recognized as non-memorized items. Even if skilled craftsmen devote themselves to creating memorized works, only about one or two works that can be called non-memorized works are created every month.

‘But this child is different.’

Tang So-yeol had the ability to create dozens, or even a hundred, non-memorizing machines a month if he wanted to.

The reason why he made strange inventions using precious iron and allowed him to continue to manage the raincoat that caused waves on the flat ground was to not discourage his talent.

I hope that he will demonstrate his capabilities in the current crisis situation of the party.

So, in a crisis situation, the fact that Soyeol of the party left the party was not something that the head of the family could easily allow.

“I understand that the Lord has given me a lot of freedom. He also hoped that we would be of strength in times of crisis for the party like today.”

“…But are you still planning to leave along Hocheonan?”

“Yes.”

Tang Xiaoyeol recalled the scene at that time.

[I will tie your hands and feet like that and break you with my hands. I will destroy you to the point that no one will ever again dare to be greedy using the Sichuan Ronin as an excuse.]

The moment when the countless chains holding Ho Cheon-an’s ankles melted away due to his rage.

[It will take quite some time for me to catch up to your level.]

Talent that had been buried on the ground rose to the sky.

Only then did Tang Xiaoyeol realize. It turns out that Ho Cheon-an’s talent, which he thought he had seen through Geomunseong’s power, was only a tip of the scale.

[However, I won’t make you wait that long.]

Tang Xiaoyeol thought idly while witnessing Hu Tianan’s true talent that was sleeping.

Okay, I really won’t make you wait that long.

“Following Hocheonan.”

Tang So-yeol looked at the party head and spoke clearly.

“I think that is the best choice this party member can make for the party.”

Tang Guang-ryeol looked at Tang Su-yeol in silence for a while.

I don’t know about the party affiliation. There is anger deep inside those eyes. Although she was a child who was thought to be indifferent to her family, she also harbored a love for family deep inside.

Party Gwang-ryeol decided to respect the decision of the party members.

“….Okay. Anyway, I was going to give Doyeon and Bicheonmacha a ride together. In order to properly operate a raincoat, there must be at least one mechanic.”

“Thank you. house owner. We will make a non-memorizing machine as soon as we have the capacity and send it to you.”

“Haha, yeah, I won’t refuse that either.”

After completing his errand, Tang Xiaoyeol left without any regrets. Tang Gwang-ryeol smiled slightly as he looked at the spot where Tang So-yeol had disappeared.

“That kid is finally stretching out.”

He was a child who wasted his talent playing the Geomunseong Fortress in the corner of his room. A child like that will follow Ho Cheon-an to the world. Dang Gwang-ryeol also had no idea what that child would do, but he was sure of one thing.

When Tang So-yeol returns to the Tang family, she will have grown to an extent that cannot even be compared to now.

‘Until then, please take care of me. ‘Mr. Ho.’

Thinking like that, Dang Gwang-ryeol shifted his gaze back to the documents.

The night deepened, but the lights in the room where the head of the family was staying never went out.

“Sisters…”

The day of departure dawned.

Heukmyo and Yeo Il-ye work hard to comfort Ryeo-ah, whose tears are filled with tears due to the sadness of the breakup. There was a fuss as to whether to comfort, comfort, or pet him.

“Brother Ho, I heard about what happened back then from others.”

Dang Do-gyeong, who was still sick but had recovered enough to be able to carry out daily activities, came out to meet him. I refused to see off the old man or the head of the Pungyeong family. Because I feel so sorry for taking up the time of busy people.

“If you are hyung, you can do it. I will support you from afar.”

“Thank you.”

Ryeo barely accepted the breakup.

“Take care of yourself. Brother.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

I stroked her head, but she still looked tearful as if she was sad about the breakup, but she didn’t shed any tears.

It was an indescribable feeling to see the child who had been acting so rudely towards Heuk-myo and Yeo-il-ye just two days ago, holding back so as not to put pressure on the adult.

Now, a familiar-looking bicheon carriage and coachman Dang Do-yeon were waiting for us.

And the familiar smoke-blowing person was also waiting for us in front of the raincoat.

“…Master?”

“It’s late. My disciple.”

“Did you come out to see me off?”

“It’s not a sendoff. It’s a companion.”

What does this mean again? Currently, the person the party needs most to reorganize its strength is the party leader right in front of me.

The productive capacity of the future world’s greatest craftsman, Tang Xiaoyeol, a monster, is enormous. There will be a war with Sapa in the future, so no matter how much memorization you do, it will not be enough.

“Did you get permission from the head of the household?”

Are you saying that you are giving me that kind of party affiliation?

“Disciple, do you know what kind of runaway teenager your teacher is? Let’s stop talking nonsense and get going.”

He was grabbed by the collar by Tang So-yeol and forced to sit in a carriage.

“You too, hurry up and get on board.”

Heukmyo and Yeo Il-ye stared at Tang Xiaoye from their spot. There seemed to be some kind of cold hostility mixed in that gaze.

It was such a bloody confrontation that even I, who was trying to protest the violent actions of the party members, had to cower and hold my breath.

It was the black cat that ended the confrontation.

“….Ride.”

“Haona, black cat Sojeo…”

“As I was going around with my senior, I knew a day like this would come. It was something I had already prepared for. Now you’ll have to plan something big, so I’ll bear with you…”

The black cat let out a long sigh.

“…Is that so.”

Yeo Il-ye also made eye contact with the black cat and let out a long sigh.

“Now is the perfect opportunity to repay the favor owed to Eun-gong… In the current situation, we cannot become an obstacle to Eun-gong.”

“You guys thought well.”

“I assure you, if you keep using your mouth like that, you might get caught at any moment, so be careful.”

“….keep in mind.”

As the black cat glared and clenched his fist, Tang Xiaoyeol, who had a stinging expression on his face, slightly averted his eyes.

Surprisingly, the black cat overpowered Tang Xiaoyeol with a single threat. In the workshop, it was a black cat that was strangely struggling with Tang Xiaoyeol, but what happened all of a sudden?

“Ho ronin, where is your destination?”

“First, let’s go to Sichuan Province.”

“I understand. I’d like to take you with me like the wind, but I’m not in good shape yet… Unfortunately, I’ll run at a slow pace today.”

“Dang sojeot! You have to take care of your body! I don’t know when or how my internal injuries will heal, so I have to run slowly for a month, no, two months!”

“Yes. Doyeon. The body must be cherished.”

“We are fine, so please drive slowly. Isn’t that right, Eunkong?”

“Of course. Since we have plenty of time, we must proceed slowly.”

“Everyone…”

Dang Do-yeon was so touched that he whimpered. We all looked at each other with awkward faces. Dang Do-yeon was moved by the horse he had picked up with the sole intention of avoiding the fear of the flying raincoat, and somehow his conscience was pricked.

“I never thought you would be so considerate to me with internal injuries…. I will take care of your internal injuries as soon as possible and repay you even faster!”

Oh my god.

The inside of the raincoat was frozen with fear.

“Well, up to that point…you can do it as usual.”

“No! Ha ha ha ha ha! It feels like your heart is already recovering! However, with your consideration, I will not overdo it for a while!”

…I survived being hit by a raincoat today, but I don’t know what will happen in the future.

However… the mobility of the raincoat is so attractive that I can’t give it up.

Because my will to stop Jeong-cheol was not a lie.

The raincoat departed smoothly and the group, who had succeeded in shaking off the fear that had been lodged in their subconscious, breathed a light sigh of relief.

“Okay, how do you plan to move first?”

“First of all, I plan to hinder the movements of Jeongcheol and the Yunnan Sapa.”

“Um…is that possible? Any moment now, the masters of Jeongcheol and Sapa will come in to fight.”

“No, the invasion of Yunnan will be very slow and slow.”

“Um.”

The three people looked confused at my assertion. Well, it’s natural that the three people don’t understand what I’m saying. In the game, I was fighting back and forth with the Yunnan Sect to the point of ad nauseam, understanding the power structure and the leader’s tendencies, but they were not the heads of a huge Bangpa faction, and to these three people, the Yunnan Sect was just a story about someone else’s region.

Jeongcheol is so ambitious.

However, even though Jeongcheol in the game had such ambitions, he chose Jonber without a single exception until he became Hyeongyeong.

This was because in order to exert proper influence between the Sichuan political faction and the Yunnan faction, it was essential to have a level of leadership equivalent to that of their leader.

In other words, it meant that Hwagyeong could not exert proper influence.

Sacheon’s political faction capabilities are at an insane level. In the first place, the power of the political faction was extremely strong, so they would have been able to achieve a feat of wiping out the faction of the four factions, which had never been accomplished in the entire martial arts world.

Gufileilbang and Odaese. Four of the old file rooms. There are Cheongseong, Ami, Jeomchang, and Jongnam, and two of the five major families are located here.

Of the fifteen factions representing political factions, six are located here. In reality, if we exclude the opening and the Zhuge family, which are insufficient to be called a pure armed group, half of the representative political factions of the Central Plains Wulin are gathered in Sacheon.

There are as many cilantro as there are stars. There are as many as five masters of Hyeongyeong in Sacheon.

And there are three masters of Hyeonjing in Sapa, Yunnan.

Would the Yunnan factions want to clash head-on with the Sichuan faction, which is so strong? no. They will expand their metallurgical influence in Sacheon and only want to covet the fruits.

It may be the opposite of Jeong Cheol’s will, but how much influence can Jeong Cheol, who is not even a member of Hyeon-gyeong, exert in a confrontation between the Sichuan faction and the Yunnan faction, which are teeming with Hyeon-gyeong?

He did this in a hurry because the Sacheonangin, the foundation for his ambitions, were in danger of disappearing, but Jeongcheol’s military power was not yet ripe, so he was not suitable to play a leading role in this situation.

Perhaps Jeong Cheol might try to continue the sluggish confrontation until he reaches Hyeongyeong.

“But, disciple, didn’t the Four Schools of Yunnan already show their intention to establish an alliance by appointing Jeong Cheol as their representative? In that case, wouldn’t you make an active move in response to Jeong Cheol’s wishes?”

“Master, I’ll just say it out loud. Why are people who are so good at keeping their promises called Safa?”

“Hmm…”

We formed a regional federation, but isn’t it natural to keep that promise?

The companions had that kind of expression on their faces.

It seems like I haven’t really experienced the humanity of Sapa people yet.

Well, there are things in this world that can only be realized through experience.

“Well, you’ll have to wait and see. There are three main things we need to do now.”

“Yes, say it.”

“Our major tasks are two-fold. One is to take time. Second, minimize the damage caused by the time-consuming process.”

The reason it takes time is simple. Because I need to grow up.

And in order to have time to grow, the war between Sichuan and Yunnan must be brought to a standstill. What is the meaning of time gained by shedding blood? That’s not a way to buy time, it’s just a way to increase sacrifice.

“In order to do so, we will tickle the back of Yunnan’s head so that it cannot pour its strength into the war with Sichuan.”

“…Makes the back of Yunnan’s head tickle?”

“Foreign forces.”

I remembered what happened in Luoyang. Emperor Yugyeong and Hyeok Kirin.

And then the Geumuiwi trainees.

Jo Jia-ju invented the Jo-ga singing method to improve the combat power of soldiers.

Through a new refining method, Gwang Refining supplies high-quality steel weapons to the empire and develops powerful crossbows with those steel weapons.

Jaesanghai managed the empire well and made the country wealthy.

Kangchumoru led the battle to victory with his mysterious command.

Corn made the empire rich by bringing in foreign cultures that could be helpful to the empire.

What will happen when the imperial power overflows and culture flourishes?

Naturally, that power erupts outward. They subdue the forces that were disturbing the border and use that power to engage in new diplomacy.

The influence of the empire expands, and as a result, the realm of martial arts also increases. And within the expanded territory of the martial arts world, the dormant factions also awaken and announce their presence to the central martial arts world, unfolding a new phase.

I decided to get a little involved in the expansion of the empire’s territory.

“Let us awaken the power of Podalap Palace.”

There was no need to do anything to cause a conflict between Podalap Palace and Yunnan Sapa. They are both cruel and vicious, which is second to none.

The enemy of my enemy was my friend.
