Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 37

Difference in Case (3)

“Are you going?”

“yes.”

“…Okay, see you later.”

The Zhuge siblings bowed their heads and turned their backs.

Namgung-hyeon’s face was tense as he looked at them. He saw that Zhuge Yan’s eyes were particularly hard when looking at him.

‘Damn it.’

This was all because of Yeonhojeong. Even if he hadn’t been humiliated in front of Yeon Ho-jeong, Zhuge Yan wouldn’t have looked at him that way.

This meeting was a meeting that left scars in many ways. The wound was so deep that I lost my reason.

Nam Gung-hyeon gritted his teeth as he remembered the look in Jegal Zhen’s eyes.

‘I wanted to kill you with my own hands.’

It was disappointing, but it was also refreshing in its own way.

The types of poison in Danga are beyond imagination. He said that everything from poisonous ones that kill you before you even realize it, to paralyzing your body, to those that only cause pain and cause disability to your body are impossible.

Namgung-hyeon saw Yeon Ho-jeong’s skills.

Although I was upset, Yeon Ho-jeong’s martial arts merit was acceptable. Overpowering Chu Seong like that wasn’t easy even for him.

‘What a dog! There must have been some trick.’

Chu-seong’s movements when receiving the first three seconds were very clumsy. It was clear that Chu-seong had probably made a mistake while trying to look after the other person and was embarrassed by his unexpected skills.

When I wake up, I’ll ask. Why on earth were you so careless?

‘When I think about it, it was a surprise attack that time too.’

Even when Yeon Ho-jeong defeated Dan Yang-seon, he did not win in a normal way.

When I list them all one by one, I see that he is truly a coward. People looked at the results, not the process. So it seemed like he thought Yeon Ho-jeong was amazing.

“What a piece of trash. Even if you do it well with your humble skills…”

The more extreme the situation, the more people see only what they want to see.

For the first time in his life, his pride was hurt and he was unable to use his smart brain properly.

“What about Myung?”

“You went first.”

“Without even saying hello?”

Namgoonghyun frowned.

‘These.’

I do not like it. There really isn’t anything I like.

“Have you finished organizing?”

“Not yet. “I think it will be over soon.”

Namgoonghyun shouted.

“Won’t the sun set soon? “Hurry up and finish it!”

“Yes yes!”

The servants were busy moving around.

Namgung-hyeon, who finished his work after a long time, left the manor.

It took a long time to get from Hefei to the vicinity of Hwangsan (黃山), where the Namgung family was located.

People often wonder. The reason why the Nangong family, the most powerful force in Anhui, settled in Huangshan Mountain rather than Hebi, the provincial capital.

But that was a consequential question. When the Namgung family first established its foundation, the power of the Namgung family was not this great.

Of course it was different now. The eyes of the Nangong family were all over Anhui, not to mention He Fei, a saint.

“I received the carriage in advance. “Go up.”

Even the finest carriages and boats were provided to Nangong’s scholars when they moved within Anhui. This is because everyone who makes a living in Anhui looks at Nangong’s opinions.

This was a privilege no different from that of royalty in a small country.

In this way, Namgunghyeon crossed the river in five days and entered the territory of the Namgung family near Hwangsan Mountain.

‘what?’

Walking down the street, Namgoonghyeon felt a strange sense of heterogeneity.

Numerous people were glancing at themselves.

It wasn’t surprising. Because the guard warriors are holding three or four huge flags with the word ‘Namgung (南宮)’ engraved on them.

He usually received a lot of attention from people, but today was different. He was glancing around and whispering something, but his appearance was not favorable.

Namgoonghyeon’s face gradually distorted. I felt upset.

When the party reached Namgung House.

“Are you Hyun?”

“Ah, uncle.”

Daesan Namgung, the head of the royal family of the Namgung family, approached with an urgent look.

Namgoonghyeon felt increasingly anxious.

“What’s wrong?”

Namgung Daesan asked directly.

“What on earth have you done?”

“yes?”

Nangong Daesan beat his chest as if he was frustrated.

“I heard you wrote an order to kill a person with a sword to the eldest son of the Four Heavenly Tang Gate to kill the Grand Duke of the Yan Family!”

In an instant, Namgoonghyeon’s complexion turned pale.

Was I too surprised? Namgoonghyun opened his mouth without realizing it.

“What about that…?!”

The snow on Namgungdae Mountain deepened.

“you…? “It was true.”

Only then did Namgoonghyun realize his mistake and keep his mouth shut.

But everyone who would listen had already heard it. No, even if Namgoong Hyun denied it, the incident has already occurred.

“The rumor has already spread beyond Anhui to other regions. “For it to be just a rumor, the source is clear and the witnesses are clear.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

“Hurry up and go to the room!”

Sigh. Sigh.

The brushstrokes across the rice paper were careful yet unstoppable.

The spirit of craftsmanship was imbued in Namgungin’s hand movements while beating orchids. The way he beat orchids, perfectly calculating the thickness and lightness of the ink, had already reached a state of perfection.

Namgoonghyun felt the inside of his mouth burning.

My father had already been drawing orchids for one o’clock. There was something I didn’t like so much that over twenty sheets of rice paper fell to the floor.

“Well, I guess it’s worth taking a look at now.”

Namgung-in’s face lit up with satisfaction as he picked up the rice paper and stirred it gently.

As the wind dried the ink, Namgungin’s mouth finally opened.

“Is it true?”

The question I asked after only one visit was very direct.

Namgoonghyun swallowed his saliva. It was because I felt the subtle anger buried in my father’s calm tone.

I had often seen my father like this. But I didn’t know that the target would be me.

My father’s anger for the first time. Namgoonghyun felt himself shrinking.

“That’s right.”

Lying won’t work anyway. No, it wasn’t a situation to lie.

Namgoongin’s eyes deepened.

A look of disappointment was evident.

“The reason I sent you to the latter-day index meeting was not because there was no one at home. “Even if you’re not the oldest child, there are many children who are brighter than you.”

It was a word that touched my heart. Namgoonghyun’s face turned pale.

“And yet I sent you. Because you wanted to. Of course, it’s also because I acknowledged you.”

“….”

“It is difficult for a person to be recognized by others. But disappointment is fleeting. “You probably don’t know either.”

Only then did Namgoongin turn his eyes to his son.

“Your intention to resolve the matter with Yeon-ga was unexpected. I also knew that you wouldn’t overdo it. So I sent him, but I didn’t know he would even pull out his sword.”

“….”

“If you use people well, you will be praised as a person who uses people well, but if you do not use people well, you will become a charlatan. “I thought I had the ability to erase at least three letters of my name, even if it wasn’t to Yongin. Was I wrong?”

Grumbling.

Blood seeped out from Namgoonghyeon’s lips. I bit my lip without realizing it.

Namgung-in’s eyes shone brightly.

“I trust my vision. There is no way you, who are my blood, would have made such a ridiculous mistake. So why did this result come about?”

“….”

“There must be one of three reasons. “Either something happened that disturbed your composure, or the tricks of a child named Yeon Ho-jeong overwhelmed you.”

“…!”

“It’s either that or both.”

Namgoonghyeon’s eyes were bloodshot.

Even if it was a ploy, he didn’t want to admit that Yeon Ho-jeong was better than him.

Namgung-in saw his son shaking. His eyes, which were full of anger and disappointment, showed a subtle pity.

“Is it because of the Zhuge family’s eldest daughter?”

Surprised, Namgoonghyeon looked at his father.

Namgung-in said.

“I wondered what had happened, so I listened to the details of what happened there.”

“….”

“Do you like the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family so much?”

“Well, I…”

“…as expected.”

There was a stern look in Namgungin’s eyes.

“It is said that the thing a man must be most careful about is the appearance of a woman. “I’ve been telling you to be on guard again and again all your life, but you just couldn’t control your mind and brought things to this point?”

“…sorry.”

Namgoongin clicked his tongue.

“I sent a hawk to my Zhuge family.”

“yes?!”

“Even though you are not the eldest son, you are not a child who is told that you are not good enough. The Zhuge family will also be able to accept that the eldest son will inherit the family.”

“Ah, father.”

Namgoonghyun felt like he was crying.

Even though he harshly reprimanded him, he sent a hawk for his son. To that extent, the father is doing it for himself.

“I am your father. “In consideration of the contributions you have made to the family, I will overlook this mistake.”

“thank you.”

“Don’t have high expectations. The eldest daughter of the Zhuge family is nothing more than a magic stone that will sharpen you. “That child is not my daughter-in-law, she is just your wife.”

Those were cold words. He very calmly said that he would not recognize his son’s wife as his daughter-in-law.

But for Namgoong Hyun, that was enough.

Looking at his son’s flushed face, Namgoongin clicked his tongue again.

“Go back now.”

Namgoonghyeon raised his head.

As he looked into his father’s heart, he had already regained his composure. Unlike his facial expression, his eyes regained their former coolness.

Namgung-in nodded inwardly. I wanted to see those eyes.

“So, how do you plan to handle this matter?”

“why? Are you planning to go out yourself?”

“….”

“You stay out of this matter. “There is nothing more disgraceful than holding on to something you failed once.”

“But father.”

“also.”

Namgung-in’s face became indifferent.

“I heard that a child named Yeon Ho-jeong has great literary and martial arts skills. “If you just listen to my daily situation, it seems that a child named Yeon Ho-jeong is not someone you can handle.”

Namgoonghyeon’s cheeks trembled. My wounded pride flinched once again.

However, he quickly corrected his expression. It was in front of my father and no one else. I couldn’t show my ugly side anymore.

A satisfied glow finally appeared on Namgoongin’s face.

“Seeing the other person clearly is the beginning of development. “You have finally taken a step forward.”

“I lost once. But I’m confident I won’t lose twice.”

“know. Still, stay out of this matter. “For the time being, try to sharpen your mind and body.”

I am grateful that you even said this.

Namgoonghyun bent down.

“All right. “If you do that, I’ll just go in.”

“It was a long journey and a lot of hardship. “Get some rest today.”

Namgung-in, who sent his son like that, buried his back in the chair.

“I’ve just passed the age limit, so there’s nothing I can do about my blood.”

It certainly seemed like there was no younger brother like him. Firstly, because I didn’t do that when I was that age.

That wasn’t all. The first one was as talented in martial arts as he was in character. There was no need to talk about talent since he had achieved the level he had reached in his thirties in less than twenty years.

The world will probably be surprised when the first child comes out of the closed coffin.

Namgung-in opened his mouth.

“Commissioner Chen.”

After a while, a middle-aged man with a sturdy physique entered the head office.

“Did you call me, matriarch?”

Namgung-in looked at the window.

The deep sunset light was particularly beautiful.

“This is enough to heat the pot.”

“….”

“Let Sanghwa know everything he did.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Even if it looks fierce, it needs to be sutured. “I saw it a while ago and it seems like a son who shows signs of maturity is better than a spoiled little girl.”

“…All right.”

Namgungin’s eyes turned red as they caught the glow of the sunset.

“Byuksan Yeonga… I thought it was just a family with special martial arts skills, but the head of the family and his son are not ordinary.”
