Episode 52.
Where the wind is heading (2)
Flash!
A ray of blue light seeped into the cliff.
Sssss.
A long sword mark appeared on the cliff struck by the blue light.
It was an amazing sight. Even though it was struck with the utmost sword energy, only sword marks were left without any cutting or roaring sounds.
This meant that the cutting power of the sword was enormous. The destructive force is compressed to the limit, leaving no traces other than cuts.
It was a level that even a decent swordsman could not dream of. It was an amazing martial arts skill that was difficult to overcome even if one devoted one’s entire life to the sword.
“hmm.”
The elderly man tilted his head when he saw the sword marks on the cliff.
“Is it still too much? “I thought it would work this time.”
Slurp.
The sound of the sword being sheathed was as smooth as water.
The elderly man stretched greatly.
He seemed to be in his fifties, and his exposed upper body was covered with amazing muscles. The muscles of the upper body, which did not look dull at all, were compressed to the limit and looked as if they were on the verge of collapse.
“Hehe, I guess I’ll have to focus on my sword for the time being. “It’s only one day, so it’s a long way away.”
Then I heard a beautiful voice.
“Does it make me feel so shabby when you say that?”
“Are you here?”
Moyong Yeonhwa smiled brightly as she looked at the cliff.
“You’re amazing. That’s a sword mark from this far away. “Maybe I’ll try imitating sometime.”
“Hehe, there is no such thing as excessive greed. It’s amazing that someone your age has developed that level of martial arts. “If you think about your days as Abby, it would not be enough to say that you were a genius.”
“Do not lie. “I heard that my father had already mastered the Sakpunggeom (朔風劍) sword when he was my age.”
“Mastering martial arts and implementing them are two different things. Although I may have been highly accomplished in martial arts, I did not have the ability to implement it as naturally as you. “You can be proud.”
Mo Yong Yeon-hwa shrugged her shoulders.
“I always feel proud. However, I think the more greed you have, the better.”
“It’s not wrong, but if you get eaten up by greed, you may regress.”
“I’m not that bad, Dad.”
“Am, whose daughter is this?”
Moyong, an elderly man, laughed.
Moyong Yeonhwa smiled and took out a letter from her arms.
“I have good news.”
The corners of Moyong’s mouth naturally rose.
It was a red letter. My heart was already heating up.
A light appeared in Mo Yong-gun’s eyes as he received the letter and opened it.
“They say the famous family was successful?”
“I see.”
“Now that we have found the origin of martial arts, will the lifespan problem be solved?”
“You don’t know that. The martial arts of the famous family are strong. “Compared to my family’s martial arts skills, there is nothing lacking.”
Moyong Yeonhwa looked at the cliff.
“Is it comparable to that infinite sword power?”
“You don’t know that either. “However, I have lightly shared a hand with the head of a famous family before.”
“uh? “You didn’t hear that?”
“It wasn’t a matter of life or death, we just confirmed each other’s skills. “It’s not worth talking about here and there.”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s eyes shone.
In the family, he was the person to whom his father gave the most information. He was a person who told me everything, even the smallest details.
But not everything. There are some things I didn’t even tell my own daughter.
So she respected Mo Yong-gun. I wanted to emulate the prudence and sharpness of being at the top of Sega and being thoroughly alert to one’s surroundings.
“How was it? “The martial arts of the famous family.”
“It was amazing.”
“There are only a few people who say their father is great.”
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“Among the seven generations, there is not a single person who is easy. Externally, it is said that the martial arts skills of the Myeong Family and the Yeon Family are competing for supremacy, but you don’t know that until you actually see them.”
“Are you saying that other matriarchs are hiding their powers like your father?”
“Of course. “Unlike the two new families, the Myeongga and the Yeonga, the five traditional families never reveal their full power.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“But even taking that into account, Myunggaju’s martial arts skills were amazing. “If you are looking for the martial arts of the main family, I expect that it will not be inferior to the secret science of the main family.”
“That’s amazing.”
“It’s not for nothing that we’ve maintained the name of the best family in the world.”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa smiled.
“It’s unfortunate. “I can’t use that title anymore.”
Prince Moyong read the last part of the manuscript.
As if to emphasize it, the text was thicker than the rest of the text, even though it was written in fine brush.
“Tsk tsk, famous family owner. It was nice to find my ancestor’s martial arts skills, but my greed was too much. “How can you kill hundreds of innocent workers and then have the audacity to call yourself the best in the world?”
Surprisingly, Prince Moyong knew everything that Myeongga had done.
It was a secret world that had been carefully planned from the day Moyong-gun became the head of the family. He planted ‘eyes’ not only in the famous family but also in the entire family belonging to the Seven Great Families.
Some of these families were even infiltrated with professional secretaries and even created secret passages and safe houses within those families. A representative example was the annual leave.
Of course it wasn’t easy. An astronomical amount of money was needed and a trustworthy person had to be prepared. No matter how good Mo Yong-gun was, it was not something he could prepare for in a dozen years.
That major undertaking was carried out together with his father, the previous head of the family.
“I proved my abilities to my father and your grandfather. Even when I cut out my brothers.”
“I know, father.”
“You too are proving your abilities to me. When you feel confident, bring your drawing board to this father. “If it is a satisfactory plan, I will entrust the family to you.”
Mo Yong-yeon smiled confidently.
“I’m preparing steadily. Do not worry.”
“Hehehe.”
Mr. Moyong was very pleased with his daughter’s distribution. Although the sons’ talents were extraordinary, they did not try to cross the line.
That was why he loved his daughter. Moyong Yeonhwa, who inherited her own blood, had a cold-blooded iron heart that would cut down even her own flesh and blood if necessary.
A talent that is much more important than a brain that has reached divine skill. That was just cruelty.
“Anyway, wasn’t there any contact from Yeonga?”
“yes. “Not yet.”
Prince Moyong clicked his tongue.
“He is truly a frustrating great man. “A man who is famous for his swordsmanship that is resolute enough to cut through waves is quite timid in this regard.”
“I think I’m a person who doesn’t like adventure.”
“That may be the case. Even when Yeongaju was young, she had no interest in expanding her power.”
“Besides, I will be more cautious this time. It is not easy to receive business proposals three times. “You will definitely have a lot to worry about.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“If you want to keep the family name alive, it would be better to agree.”
It was then.
From far away, a warrior wearing black uniform and a mask approached at high speed.
Sreuk.
The warrior kneeling in front of Moyonggun spoke in a stern voice.
“Matriarch.”
“What are you doing at this hour?”
“There is a problem.”
“problem? “What problem?”
“I haven’t heard from the contact I planted in Yeonga for five days.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes grew cold.
It was essential that the liaison report progress once a day. Even if something happens, it usually doesn’t last more than three days.
No contact for five days should be seen as an indication that something is wrong with the person in contact.
“Could it be that Yeonga found out? “That can’t be possible, right?”
I didn’t think Taekyung would get caught. It was not as easy as one might think to doubt a general who had been rooted in the family for nearly a decade.
The problem was the real Sejak and contact. Even if Tae-kyung is unlucky enough to get caught, Na-il and Jang-hak must not be caught. In the first place, it was really those two. Taekyung was just a packaging to completely plant Nile and Janghak.
“It is difficult to know exactly. “For now, we are trying to touch on Tongcheondan, their information trading partner.”
“Let’s find out quickly.”
“yes.”
Mo Yong-yeonhwa frowned at Ami.
“What is going on? Scholarship is a top-notch contact. “He is not a person who will ever make mistakes.”
“As long as we are human, we cannot avoid making mistakes. “We will have to consider whether it is due to external factors or something else.”
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa shook her head.
“I guess we have to consider the worst, just in case.”
“Of course you should. “If Yeonga really found out about Sejak’s existence, she would have to bury him before any noise is made.”
Prince Moyong frowned.
“her! Should I pull out my sword already?”
* * *
“There are a total of seven places….”
“Right.”
“Anyway…”
Lee Baek-hyeon, who had hesitated, opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
“I think our family, like other families, needs to fortify the entire family.”
Although the history of being considered one of the Seven Great Families is short, the history of the family itself spans over 150 years.
However, the current buildings of Yeonga maintained the same appearance as those used by our ancestors, except for a few damaged areas. This is because I thought there was no need to build a new one since there was nothing to take or worry about.
The same was true for Yeonwi.
No, in the first place he had no attachment to the building. The previous head of the family’s father was stubborn, so he left it alone.
But the situation was like this, so there was nothing we could do.
“Call old man Pyeon.”
“Are you talking about Pyeonilgang Shingong (神工)?”
“I see.”
Baekhyun Lee tilted his head.
“What can I say about the skill of Pyeon Shingong… Isn’t he a blacksmith, not a civil engineer or engineer?”
Yeonwi looked at Baekhyun Lee.
Baekhyun Lee was startled and lowered his head.
“sorry. “I will bring you right away.”
“…the old man.”
“yes?”
“Old Man Pyeon is closely related to the masters of organ Jinsik.”
“ah!”
“Bring me here.”
“Yes yes! All right.”
Baekhyun Lee left the family room.
Yeonwi’s back, looking out the window with her back to him, looked unusually lonely.
Yeon Ji-pyeong sighed inwardly. I could tell that my father was frustrated without me having to express it.
Of course, he too was shocked. Because Commander Taekyung was a person who treated him well.
But it won’t be as hard as your father. As a person and the head of a family, you must have been greatly shocked.
“Father…”
“I’ll finish it and get up.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in surprise.
Yeonwi turned around.
“Are you going?”
“yes.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong tilted his head.
“You’re leaving? “Brother, where are you going?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Outing to the central field.”
“Yes?!”
What does this mean all of a sudden?
Yeonwi asked.
“You haven’t set a separate destination?”
“I’m going to discuss that with my father.”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong picked up the letter on the table.
“We can take a breather now that we have caught Sejak, but what will the other side think? “He’s probably panicking.”
“Of course it is.”
“So we’ll have to see how they follow up.”
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
“All of Mo Yong’s shadow has been erased. “It will be difficult for them to understand the situation here, so they will probably try to find out through Tongcheondan.”
It was an accurate insight.
Yeon Ho-jeong is a man who has experienced all kinds of chaos in a place where lies are rampant. However, even without such experience, Yeonwi was anticipating what the enemy would do.
Innate wisdom and ability do not go anywhere. Yeon Ho-jeong relieved the burden on his heart.
“That’s right. “Even if this matter is made public, the ones who suffer will be the ones harmed, so we will have no choice but to approach it cautiously.”
“The problem comes after that. “I have no idea what they will do the moment they find out about the situation here.”
It has to be that way.
Yeonwi had almost no close relationship with Prince Moyong. So I didn’t really know what kind of person he was.
Knowing the opponent allows you to infer their tactics. Not building rapport with others was the weak point of Yeonwi.
“In other words, it can be said that each side does not know each other’s situation.”
“yes.”
“Meanwhile, the enemy’s primary actions can be predicted.”
“So does he.”
“Then we have only one option.”
Yeon Wi and Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong made a meaningful expression.
“All you have to do is blind the enemy and then launch an air strike from an unexpected location.”
“…?!”
“If you think about it that way, the place I have to go has been decided.”
