< Return of the Warlord Episode 98 >
Ten years ago, the Namgung family fell once and lost its status in Anhui. They lost more than half of their power, and because of this, their status fell from the peak of the Eight Great Powers to just a prestigious family with a long history.
So, over a period of ten years, many people ca to Anhui and built up their power to beco a new power, and in the process, they tried to defeat the Namgung family, which was in the way.
However, even if a tiger loses a fight, it does not an that it ceases to be a tiger.
Ten years.
In that short and long ti, the Namgung family ca together more tightly than before and corrected the foundation one by one from the beginning.
As a result, he began to expand his influence again, centered on the eldest son Namgung Gang, who beca the new head of the family, and beca the leader of Anhui again by protecting the Namgung family and their sphere of influence without a single defeat in nurous power battles
. .
Until a few years ago, it was originally used by his father, Namgung Yong, but now Namgung Kang, who had inherited the place, was sitting at the desk in his office, reading a letter.
Clean and uncluttered handwriting.
The content was also packed without being excessive, and the letter was written so that the main points could be quickly understood.
Namgung-gang, who had been looking at it for a while, stood up. Soon, he opened the door, left the office, and moved to where his father’s residence was.
His steps were very fast, as if he had sothing urgent to do. And at so point, my walking feet began to pick up speed, and now I was running furiously.
“father-! father!”
Soon, a powerful voice was heard calling for his father, Namgung Yong. Even his eyes were bright, as if sothing very good had happened.
As soon as he opened the tightly closed door, Namgung Yong, who was resting comfortably, glared at his son with an annoyed expression.
“What on earth are you making such a fuss about? “The head of the family must protect his integrity!”
“No, that’s not the problem! Oh… it’s coming!”
“What is coming? “A tiger is coming down?”
Namgung Yong stuck out his tongue as he looked at Namgung River, who still looked like an immature child. If you’re going to say sothing, do it properly, but what if you cut off your body from front to back without your head?
“No, that’s not it! So… Sohye… Sohye is coming!”
“What?!”
As soon as Namgung Sohye’s na ca out, Namgung Yong suddenly stood up. This is a child who did not budge even though I had been telling him to co back for ten years.
That’s why I couldn’t control my joy when I heard that Sohye was coming back.
But Namgung Yong made a strange expression.
“But… What kind of wind blows and brings back the child who didn’t even move? “Maybe it was a car?”
“Hey… is that Sohye? No way…”
The two also shook their heads and denied that thought. She is the most beautiful girl in the central region, and she is labeled as such.
It is said that it is no exaggeration to say that although the heaven and earth of the central plains are vast, there is no woman as beautiful as Sohye, and even among many prestigious samurai families or high-ranking officials, there is still talk of marriage.
This is a child who can even take the position of empress if she puts her mind to it.
But getting dumped?
That’s not even funny.
“Then what on earth…? What does the letter say?”
“yes? He just said he was coming…”
At that mont, Namgung River said, Oops! He realized his mistake. The ssage that Namgoong Sohye was returning touched my heart so much that I ran without properly checking the other details.
So I couldn’t tell exactly what it was about.
“You idiot! “I can’t believe you trusted this guy and handed over the position of head of the family…”
“Ha haha. W It’s here.”
Namgung Yong frowned and accepted the letter.
I couldn’t believe how urgent it must have been, but I sighed at the sight of the head of the family not even being able to properly understand the contents of the letter.
He soon glared at Namgung-gang with a reprimanding look, then slowly turned his eyes and began to read the letter.
From the first paragraph to the end.
Namgung Yong couldn’t take his eyes off.
Even though it was clear that there was no need to read it for a long ti because the content was concise, my eyes did not leave it for a long ti. Soon, the sound of dry needles being passed around was heard, and Namgung Yong’s hands were shaking.
“father? “Why are you doing this?”
“…la.”
“yes?”
I heard a very small sound.
Therefore, when Namgung-gang, who did not understand, asked the question again, only then did he raise his head and shout loudly.
“Gather the personnel of the entire family. It doesn’t matter if you are a direct or collateral relative! Also, tell everyone who is out to co in!”
“Ah… suddenly?!”
Namgung Yong folded the letter and nodded.
He then carefully placed it on the table and looked at Namgung River once again.
“Anyone who does not follow… will no longer be considered a mber of the Namgung family!”
* * *
A large carriage stopped in front of the royal family.
Soon, as people began to get off the carriage one by one, those around them bowed their heads and opened the gate to the Namgung Family House.
Those who got off the carriage entered the wide open gate, and a mber of the Namgung family followed behind them, pulling a stopped carriage.
“It’s been a while, miss!”
“I’m glad you still look healthy!”
Namgung So-hye, who entered the room, bowed her head and answered the words pouring out of her from all over. It was a truly unique feeling to see the faces of people I had been with since I was young for the first ti in a long ti.
So the smile on her face did not go away.
And it’s the sa for another person as well.
“Hehehe – it’s been a while since I saw these.”
Namgungcheon also smiled cheerfully and greeted those around him. Just looking at the scene where all the countless mbers of the Sega were gathered together was enough to make Namgungcheon unable to control his overwhelming emotions.
But then I press on and hold back.
What could be more embarrassing than growing old and crying?
“Sohye-!”
And for a mont, I saw familiar faces from afar.
Namgung Yong and Namgung River have changed a lot over the past ten years.
Although he feels a bit old due to the hardships he has endured, there is no change in the fact that he is still my father, son, and brother.
In particular, it goes without saying that he has affection for Namgoong Sohye.
Nam Gung-yong suddenly rushed over and tried to hug his daughter, whom he had not seen in a long ti. At that mont, Namgung Sohye stretched out her hand to block and widened the distance.
“Oh kinda…!”
“This guy? “Is this sothing you want to say to your father, whom you haven’t seen in a while?”
“Think about my age!”
“To you will always be a child!”
“I said no!”
Namgung Yong made an awkward expression as he saw Namgung Sohye strongly denying it. I raised one daughter really well, but now that she’s grown, I don’t even let her touch her.
There will never be anything more sad than this.
“Hehe-how have you been?”
And at that mont, I heard a familiar voice.
Namgung Yong and Namgung Gang naturally turned their gazes and raised their eyes wide to look at Namgung Cheon, who had the appearance of a immortal.
Soon he bowed his head and showed respect.
“Well… you’re back, father.”
Nam Gung-yong slowly raised his head, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. How much did Nangong Cheon go through before he ca back here again?
Also, how much effort has he put in and built up a reputation to create a Namgung family worthy of his na.
It was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Namgungcheon seed to know those feelings as well, smiling softly and looking with pride at his son and grandson who had rebuilt the Namgung family from the past.
“So, were the preparations done without a hitch?”
“Do not worry. “You can start right now.”
At Namgung Yong’s confident answer, Nam Gung Cheon nodded with a satisfied expression. There should be no gaps in these matters. Since it was my job to serve my ancestors, not anyone else, I had no intention of allowing even the slightest mistake.
“Then let’s get started. “Are you okay too?”
Namgung-cheon glanced back and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
Knowing Namgung-cheon’s desire to return to his ancestors as quickly as possible, he made the journey to relieve his fatigue as much as possible in order to free Dan Woo-hyeon, who was trapped in the past called Samcheon.
It was even a few days ago that we arrived in Hefei, the capital of Anhui. While the Namgung family was preparing to honor their ancestors, they spent ample ti exploring Anhui and relieving the fatigue of their journey.
So there is no need to delay.
Dan Woo-hyeon also has the sa thought.
“Okay… I have to let you go.”
At his words, Namgung Yong and Namgung Gang nodded and began to move quickly. Although all preparations have already been completed, we are planning to carefully check each and every detail once again to prevent even the slightest mistake. In
the huge front yard of the Namgung family,
hundreds of people were standing with solemn expressions. Everyone looked straight ahead and caught the sight of Nam Gung-cheon writing down the morial tablet with one hand.
So people shed tears silently, while others clenched their fists.
Namgung-cheon, who can be said to be the pillar of the Namgung family, returns, but because he was not able to properly support him, he lost an arm. Those who are full of loyalty cannot help but lant even though it is already a past incident.
And because it was already in the past, the past was buried in the past, so no one said they were sorry and just swallowed their anger.
Even today, isn’t it an auspicious day?
It is a monuntal day when the ancestor of the Namgung family returns.
Namgungcheon lit incense and bowed his head.
As if this action was contagious to those around him, everyone in the yard also bowed their heads and paid tribute to Nam Ju-ryeon, one of the three thousand generations and the beginning of the Namgung family.
Soon, a quiet lody began to sound.
When Namgung Gang, the owner of the Namgung family’s Soga, began to play Danso, Namgung Sohye, who was waiting, created a lody with the lute in her hand.
As soon as the two people started playing together, other sounds filled the space between songs and rang out from here and there.
A lody that symbolizes the Namgung family that has been handed down for a long ti.
It was a sorrowful sound, as if it were trying to honor and rember soone, but also felt like it was praying for the person’s future.
“Wow… that’s cool.”
Dansomi, who was hearing those sounds from afar, was also speechless. This is the first song in my life that is so sad and yet touches my heart.
“Okay… it’s been a while since I heard this.”
“yes? Did you know? “This song?”
“….”
Dansomi asked, opening her eyes wide.
However, he soon closed his mouth, but Dan Woo-hyeon quietly closed his eyes as if he was rembering sothing. Not wanting to disturb her thoughts, she also closed her eyes and listened to the deep lody in her ears.
-What is that song?
-Ah… It’s a song for soone who will leave soday.
-…I don’t know what it ans.
-You’re leaving, right?
I pictured Nam Joo-ryeon smiling brightly in my mind. However, I rember that Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t talk to him anymore because his eyes looked sadder than ever.
I have such vivid mories of that ti, but it was already a thousand years ago?
Isn’t it really funny?
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled bitterly.
“Even after a thousand years… there are so things that don’t change.”
“yes?”
Dan Woo-hyeon spit out sothing he didn’t know and patted Dan So-mi’s head next to him. There was no need to respond since it was a remark addressed to a woman who no longer exists, and no effort was made to listen to the answer.
I just quietly looked up at the sky.
It is sunny weather without a single cloud.
The wind was also calm, so it felt like I was holding my breath and watching her funeral.
Even Nam Joo-ryeon, one of three thousand people who stayed by Dan Woo-hyeon’s side until the very end, is now buried where she should have stayed.
