Episode 156
Notoriety and liaison (6)
“What?”
There was surprise on Mo Yong’s face.
“You put the Mortal Army under your command?”
Mo Yong-woo, who quenched his thirst with a sip of tea, spoke calmly.
“I didn’t put it under your command. “We just decided to go on our first expedition together.”
“Didn’t you just say that? “The army of death has been placed below.”
“To be exact, it is an operation to annihilate the enemy by moving the Extermination Army under the command of the main army in the first expedition. Of course…”
Mo Yong-woo continued with a somewhat distraught expression.
“I plan to use them as a shield.”
“Shield shield?”
“The Mortal Army achieved great success in a short period of time. So to speak, their skills have already been proven.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes turned to the window.
The early morning air felt stuffy.
“I know you feel uncomfortable with Commander Yeon. From what I see, he is not a bad person, but he is also a dangerous person.”
“…It’s dangerous.”
“We will go out together this time and see his capabilities. “I became a great commander in my first battle, so he must also follow my orders.”
“Huh!”
“If the Mortal Army annihilates the enemy, that is also a good thing. I’m the one who took care of them. I also hope that their damage will not be too great.”
There was surprise on Mo Yong’s face.
“On your first expedition, you will become Tang Demon Murderer’s leader… But if it is his trap or some kind of plan…”
“Then you will be killed immediately.”
“…?!”
“Anyone who does not follow the leader’s orders will be dealt with according to military regulations. “I have no intention of forgiving a subordinate who behaves unexpectedly.”
“What are you going to do if he tries to fight you?”
“I thought I would win.”
“what?”
Mo Yong-woo smiled faintly.
“I lightly divided my hands. “It was a great martial arts attack, but the injury seemed to be quite serious.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
Yeon Ho-jeong is injured? It may be possible, but as his martial arts skills are excellent, his recovery speed will be fast.
But if you haven’t recovered yet, how seriously injured are you?
“Even assuming a perfect physical condition, even if I take it half a level lower, it is the same number of hands.”
“Is that so?”
“At least for now it is. His martial arts skills were amazing for that age group. “The potential for development is endless.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes became cold.
“That’s why we have to stop it.”
Prince Moyong was quite surprised when he saw the look in his younger brother’s eyes. I wondered if he could make an expression like that.
“Flowers that cannot be grown in flower beds must be quickly pulled out. “If you can’t pull it out, you should cut it down whenever you have time.”
Moyong’s mouth opened slightly.
What Mo Yong-woo said just now was what he had said to Mo Yong-yeonhwa in the past.
‘Does this mean that blood can’t be deceived?’
A happy smile appeared on the lips of Moyong, who was looking at his younger brother blankly.
‘Good.’
I was happy to see my youngest child’s growth over the past few months, but I was also a little worried that he might have relaxed his mind or his claws might have become dull.
Looking at it like this today, I realized that those worries were just unfounded.
Mo Yong-woo had a good nature. However, the blood flowing through his veins contained the spirit of the Mo Yong family, who roamed the wilderness of Liaodong, crushing and uniting all enemies.
I do what I decide to do. Prince Mo Yong was greatly satisfied with Mo Yong Woo’s full-fledged movements.
“In other words, you are planning to use the Mortal Death Army as an accessory for the Tang Demon Army?”
“I heard that Commander Yeon’s abilities are very outstanding, but now that I am under his command, he is nothing more than a piece of chess that will help me achieve my exploits.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled bitterly.
“I don’t prefer this method, but I thought it was inevitable in order to become the best. “Now is not the time to find the right path, but the time to find the quick path.”
“Accurate.”
Prince Moyong nodded repeatedly.
“I saw it really well. Well, if you have built a power base that will not be shaken by any attack, now is the time to put aside your morals and move forward quickly. “Your vision is truly amazing.”
“no.”
“Oh, that kind of insight is not something that can be easily trained. “It’s okay to be proud of yourself.”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“This is nothing more than an application of the tactic used against traders in Zhejiang. “We’ll have to wait and see now to see if that trick will work.”
“Hehehe.”
Prince Mo Yong also knew how Mo Yong-yu controlled the Zhejiang traders.
It is said that he borrowed his family’s sword and took control of the troublesome Zhejiang business at once. In the meantime, he was said to have obtained the title of Duke of Daebong and completely controlled the Trade Federation.
Although it was easy to think of a method, it was difficult to actually execute it. In other words, Mo Yong-woo has both an outstanding brain and unstoppable execution ability.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
By showing this much, I felt like it was okay to take a hit from Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeonga held the card called Yeonhojeong and waved it, but there is also Yeonhojeong’s opponent on this side.
“You know how to look long-term without dwelling on visible achievements. “Okay, let’s continue to do so.”
“yes.”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Prince Moyong’s face.
“But what tricks did you use to be able to take over the position of commander-in-chief of the unified Confucian army? “There’s no way he could have just come under you.”
“I just put the other person at ease.”
“What does that mean?”
Mo Yong-woo laughed bitterly.
“It is not the strong wind that can tear off thick clothes, but the scorching sun. “I did not confront Yeon Ho-jeong, I just joined hands with him.”
“…!!”
“Now things are going to get interesting.”
* * *
next day.
“What?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was filled with bewilderment when he saw the silence.
Even though he lived in the mountains for several months, Mukbi’s clothing was always neat. The reason was that he did not want to show his ugly side to the soldiers.
But now?
“Did you plant weeds on my scalp? “Why is your hair so long?”
“…Ugh.”
Mukbi, who had been staggering, lay down on the floor.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned. As I took a deep breath, I could smell the alcohol.
“How bad is this? hey! “Quickly use your inner strength to pull out the main poison.”
“No.”
“What can’t be done?”
“A-yeon asked me to eat hangover together in the morning. “I will teach you the taste of curing a hangover….”
“You are sitting here shaking with illness. “When it’s time to undress, pull the bowstring one more time.”
“What should I do with what I promised?”
“You can break that promise! “Even if you drink, you should drink as much as you can handle. How can you burn your body every time you drink?”
“Oh, it’s okay. “Stop talking because my head is pounding.”
Yeon Ho-jeong continued to babble without stopping.
“Alcoholism is not something you just drink because it feels good. Drinking well means drinking only as much as you can handle. Look at me as an example. Even after drinking like that, the next day, I don’t need to use my energy to get a drink…”
Mukbi was trembled at the barrage of words pouring out.
“Oh, it’s done! “Be quiet!”
“Hmm.”
“You say I’ll take care of it, but why do you keep…”
“Hehehehe.”
For a moment, Mukbi felt eerie.
She was startled and raised her upper body. Then, in front of her was a brightly smiling Yeon Ho-jeong…
“Ugh! father!”
Yeonwi repeatedly cleared her throat.
“It looks like you drank a lot.”
“Oops! Oh no! no! I just….”
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong intervened.
“I guess I poured all the alcohol into my stomach because I felt so relaxed. Even though it was a vacation, didn’t your posture feel bad?”
Mukbi’s face became thoughtful.
Yeonwi smiled slightly. That smile looked very innocent in Muk Fei’s eyes.
“How difficult must it have been to fight the enemy for several months? “I completely understand.”
“Ah, father! “That’s not it…”
Yeon Ho-jeong interjected again in an obnoxious manner.
“But you can’t do that. That’s how habits are formed. “Shouldn’t you scold him before he develops bad habits, father?”
Yeonwi cleared his throat again.
Other than that, it wasn’t wrong. He spoke in a particularly gentle voice.
“Drinking alcohol is good, but drinking too much is harmful to your health. “I am afraid that you may harm your health.”
“Oops!”
Mukbi hurriedly straightened his hair and folded his waist in half.
“I’m sorry! “I’ll just go in now!”
“Okay, go in and get some rest. “Let’s talk about the details later.”
“yes!”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned as he watched the silence quickly disappear.
“The hangover is over.”
I would have sobered up in one shot. Yeon Ho-jeong giggled with an evil face.
Yeonwi whetted her appetite.
“Bia is still having a hard time with me.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to see a wonderful sight.”
“Don’t tease Bia too much. “He’s a good kid.”
“I enjoy teasing him because he’s nice. “I don’t have to eat breakfast.”
Yeonwi chuckled as if she couldn’t stop him.
“by the way.”
He looked up and down Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.
“You came back without any serious injuries.”
In the Museongjeon, a meeting was in progress, so all they exchanged was glances. It was my first time meeting alone with my father after going blind.
Yeon Ho-jeong bowed on the spot.
“I’m home.”
“OK.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
Perhaps because she woke up from a good night’s sleep, Yeon Ho-jeong’s complexion was much brighter than a few days ago.
“Wasn’t the forced march too harsh? “I heard that the soldiers were struggling because they had not experienced proper combat.”
“There is no better learning environment than actual practice. “All soldiers have improved a lot.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“You must have paid a lot of attention.”
“I can’t say no.”
“Just as you have done so far, always be careful in the future.”
“of course.”
“okay.”
That was the end. Even without mentioning trivial details, I could tell how hard Yeon Ho-jeong had worked.
“Father, please get some rest too. “You had meetings all night long.”
“Okay.”
This is not just a saying; actually, Yeonwi was not tired at all.
He might have been forced to overwork his body through extreme training, but staying up for several days was not a problem at all for him who had overcome the barrier of transcendence.
Little by little, surprise appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face as he looked at his father with a smile.
“But what happened so far?”
“hmm?”
“Are you different from before?”
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
“I see it in your eyes.”
“You haven’t even drawn your sword, but I can feel the sharp energy of the sword filling your whole body. “It’s not that my body is tense, but it feels like Jinki’s edge has sharpened.”
Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t help but be impressed.
“Have you jumped a level in just a few months?”
“It is the sorrow of parents who have overly talented children. “I was afraid of being caught up, so I trained hard in my own way.”
It is said that the Emperor of the World trained hard. Since he is not the type of person to say such things, he must have had truly hellish days.
“You are amazing.”
As with all areas in the world, the more you become an expert in martial arts, the more difficult it becomes to take a step forward.
Yeonwi was the owner of martial arts that competed for the highest level among the six generations of families. It was not surprising that he had raised his level in just a few months.
Yeonwi smiled as she looked at her son.
“Before we chat, I’d like to see your martial arts skills, which must have been sharpened for a while.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
Ugh.
Did he smell the scent of a divine being who was like a brother? I could feel Byeokrajingi getting very excited and operating on its own.
“I thought I’d ask you a favor already. Let’s go.”
