Episode 278
Where Does Conflict Come From? (3)
Sigh!
The sound of the water cutting through the water was very sharp.
Pow! Fuuuuuuu!
The river water at the rear exploded and the speed of the speedboat became even faster.
There was surprise on Kang Ryang’s face.
“You’re amazing, aren’t you, brother?”
“Don’t tell me now. “You have to concentrate.”
“yep!”
Yeon Ho-jeong thrust both hands alternately in a heavy motion.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The surface of the river exploded again, speeding up the speedboat.
‘It’s quite difficult to do this after such a long time.’
This was not a tactic for hitting.
It was a method of gently pushing the surface of the water and causing an explosion at the right moment. Although it is not a method that consumes a lot of internal strength, it requires much more detailed control than the general method.
Boom!
For a moment, the speedboat tilted slightly.
Yeon Ho-jeong shouted.
“older brother!”
“I’m sorry, Yeonje! “I lost my balance for a moment!”
“We need to spread the weight lower and wider!”
“I understand!”
A speedboat did not gain speed simply by exploding powerful tension.
In order for the speedboat to move forward while maintaining appropriate balance, the role of Mo Yong-woo, who sat in the lead, was also important. This is because the weight must be increased using a similar method to the Cheongeunchu, but must be balanced in a way that does not affect the speed.
Mukbi and Gangryang row on the left and right, and Yeonhojeong speeds up with delicate tension at the rear. The speedboat crossed the Yangtze River at unprecedented speed.
How long has it been like that?
“Is the acting skills okay?”
“are you okay. “If your strength runs out in the middle, then take a break.”
There is no need to step away from your role just because you don’t have time. This is because there is a risk of an accident and it may result in further delays.
Mo Yong-woo was once again surprised at that aspect of Yeon Ho-jeong. At first glance, it seemed like he was just leaving, but his eyes were clearly seeing the whole picture.
In any case, as time passed, each person became accustomed to their roles. The faces of the four people gradually began to relax.
“Yeonje.”
“huh?”
“What do you think? “Those words from the sailor.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“It seems like the Uishinhoe had a hand in it, but I’m not sure.”
“Hmm.”
At that time, Mukbi spoke.
“I still don’t understand.”
“what?”
“How can an organization called Uisinhoe be so great? “Yes, it is an organization made up of lawmakers… Of course, I think it may have excellent financial power.”
Mukbi had deeper knowledge of medicine than expected. Of course, I did not receive proper education, but I learned medical knowledge to treat wounds and diseases on my own while I was at Gwanilgok.
So even if you know it with your head, you cannot understand it with your heart. How popular a job is being a member of the National Assembly and how well they are treated.
“Even from the perspective of a martial artist, lawmakers are not people who can be easily ignored. of course. If you get hurt, you need to get treatment, right? “You can solve most problems on your own, but when you are seriously injured, the presence of a doctor is essential.”
“hmm.”
“However, the lawmakers you see in the imperial palace or government offices are on a different level from the lawmakers you see in the martial arts world.”
“That means it’s more important, right?”
“of course.”
Mo Yong-woo received Yeon Ho-jeong’s words.
“High-skilled lawmakers often become doctors for high-ranking people, such as high-ranking officials. Naturally, his influence becomes stronger, and he gains not only considerable wealth but also more power than most officials.”
Muk Fei frowned.
“Is it that much?”
“I don’t know how much you think, but it’s probably more than Manager Mook thinks. If warriors and soldiers are those who deal with death, doctors are those who deal with life. “Of course I have no choice but to be treated well.”
“Hmm.”
“In other words, the reason we are going to escort the West Station priestess is similar to that, isn’t it? “If you’re such a talented congressman, I wouldn’t be able to pay you thousands of dollars to bring him here.”
“okay. I understand now. In other words, their power is not actual force, but influence using their own values.”
“That’s correct.”
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Also, our members of the House of Representatives do not carelessly pass on their knowledge to others. In fact, there were many people who made such attempts, but other lawmakers ostracized them or threatened them, saying that it was an act that lowered the value of medicine.”
Mukbi sighed.
“What on earth is such a waste?”
“It’s a waste. That is to say, it is their intellectual property. However, the problem is that it excessively ignores the free will of others. In fact, medicine itself is an esoteric discipline, so it may not be easy to learn even if you want to.”
Kang-ryang opened his mouth.
“That’s easy.”
Mukbi saw Gangryang.
“You say it’s easy?”
“It’s a process.”
“What process?”
“There are not many people who can influence sailors.”
“ah? okay?”
“yes. Do you know this too? “There are people like that green forest hunting in the Yangtze River.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“The Yangtze River Waterway.”
“That’s right.”
Kang-ryang said with a worried face.
“Both Green Forest and Yangtze River Waterway are a group of black islands. And the black island has no choice but to look at the official’s opinion more than the white island. “It would be a different story if we boasted about our front-level power.”
“Um, so?”
“Those with lines in their crowns can exert a powerful influence on the Black Island.”
“What about that… ah?!”
Mukbi exclaimed.
“Then what about the Uishinhoe?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“If the Uisinhoe is an association formed by famous members of the Central House of Representatives, it can be seen that they maintain a close relationship with the government.”
“No, it only took us three days to reach the Yangtze River, and already…?!”
“There is not much difference between the information power of the martial arts and the information power of the government officials. “There’s nothing you can’t do if you’re determined to spread information.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
At the same time, I felt like I was completely used to it by releasing tension at a constant beat.
“That’s why I tried to move quickly.”
“What on earth did the Western Station Lady do so wrong to end up like this?”
“We don’t need to know about their situation. “The only thing that matters is that we must enter Gangseo Province as quickly as possible.”
Anyway, I got a speedboat, so it wasn’t a bad result.
Mukbi, who was rowing, tilted his head as a thought occurred to him.
“But it’s strange.”
“ok? what?”
Muk Fei frowned.
“It’s a group that can exert that much influence, but didn’t they take a very low-key stance even in front of famous people like Yeon Gongja or Commander Mo Yong?”
“Reversible?”
“yes. Not everyone can have the influence to block a waterway in three days. Moreover, after listening to the story, it seems that the group called Uisinhoe has no reason to be afraid of the Murim Alliance.”
It is not a question of force but of influence. Uisinhoe has a deep relationship with the government, so there is no need to fear each other in the first place.
Of course, that was only when we had a good relationship. Whether it is a government official or a martial artist, if they are successful, they have the ability to target the other side’s personnel.
“Maybe…”
Mo Yong-woo frowned.
“I think it might be a personal problem. “The facial expression that the person named Reverend So showed us at that time did not seem like acting.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“i think so too.”
“Then, just as Yeonje said, the Western Region Goddess could be dangerous. If the Gayeokso handled the matter in the form of a report after prior action, the Uisinhoe could ignore it and strike straight away.”
“Yeah, I guess that could happen.”
“After sharing our opinions like this, I definitely think it would be better to move quickly, just like Yeonje said.”
“okay.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Kang Ryang.
“For the time being, it’s spiritual training. “If you fall behind, I’ll leave you behind, so catch up properly.”
Gangryang grumbled.
“He said that when we first met, but he keeps saying he’s going to leave me behind.”
“sudden.”
“I knew. Do not worry.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Damn, I hope nothing happens until we get there.”
Unfortunately, the sky did not grant his wishes.
The party, who had smoothly crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangxi Province in an instant with the help of a tremendous divine law, received shocking news from the open branch.
“We’re in big trouble! “It is said that a mysterious group attacked the room where the West Station Goddess was staying!”
“You b*stards!”
“Luckily, the West Station priestess is on the run! “The attackers didn’t touch the patient and are only pursuing the Western Station Priestess!”
“Who helps her?!”
“It’s open. “We are avoiding direct intervention just in case, and focusing on distracting the attackers.”
“Good job. From now on, we will solve it.”
“I think you should hurry. “Maybe it’s luck, but the Western Goddess is moving while avoiding the area where the attackers are aiming, but I can’t guarantee how long that luck will last.”
“I will leave immediately. “Let me just ask you this.”
“Are you talking about the identity of the attackers?”
“exactly. “Is it even possible to make an estimate?”
“There is no way to know at this time.”
“Damn it. I understand. Please try a little harder.”
“I wish you luck. Fortunately, the Western Station Divine Maid is also on her way north, so we will be able to meet her if we run for just one more day.”
Paaaaang!
The group accelerated southward.
Fortunately, the party followed Yeonhojeong’s divine law well. Mo Yong-woo was a warrior skilled in many fields, so it was natural for him to do so, Muk-bi was superior to Yeon-ho-jeong in terms of divine law, and Kang Ryang followed closely behind him with extreme patience.
A day passed like that.
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes lit up with fire.
“Yeonje!”
“I felt it too!”
A sharp death was detected on the forest road far away next to the left basin.
Yeon Ho-jeong felt it intuitively. That refined way of life is that of an unrivaled assassin.
And the popularity of the target the assassin is chasing is so mysterious.
Exciting!
My heart heated up.
Excited!
The main stimulator burned and cardiac output increased.
Whoa!
White wind gathered beneath his feet. The muscles of my entire body swelled up, and the speed at which Jinki moved to and from my nerves doubled.
Surprisingly, his Shinigami was slightly thicker than before he joined the army. Now, we have entered a state where our true energy grows on its own without any special training.
Weeeeeeeee!
In order to handle the powerful Four Gods, Byeokna Jingyeol also unleashed even more power.
Even Byeokrajingi grows to contain the grown Four Gods. It was a speed of development that had never been experienced before, even during the time of the Dark Emperor, a coexistence of intertwined powers.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s right foot kicked against a hard rock.
Quaaaang!
As Yeon Ho-jeong ran like a firework, he saw a blonde woman with scratches all over her body running in a huff.
‘West station goddess!’
Yeonhojeong’s expression suddenly brightens.
however.
‘uh?’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression, which had brightened, suddenly hardened.
“Gasp!”
The West Station priestess running out of breath.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were shaking like crazy due to the unstable energy in her body.
“…The Three Religions?”
