Episode 547
Wind blowing to the west (1)
“Mr. “Adjutant Yeon has arrived.”
“Come on in.”
Coogugung.
The gates of Daejeon opened and Yeonhojeong appeared.
“Are you here?”
Yang Cheon was drinking alone.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at him, smiled.
“Are you unusually holding the mood alone?”
“just.”
Yang Chen smiled and asked.
“Did you catch it?”
“Gotcha. “I somehow survived.”
“Good job. “The prison administrators at headquarters are experts at bringing out people’s true feelings.”
It meant that he was an expert in torture.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“This is someone who has already given up his life. “It won’t be easy.”
“It is the prison administrators who make the countless people who sacrificed their lives open their mouths. “I will find the optimal method depending on the opponent and reveal even the secrets I never knew.”
“You can’t make people reveal secrets that aren’t there.”
“That’s what they say.”
Yangcheon pointed across from him with his chin.
“Come and have a drink. “You worked hard.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, sitting across from him, coolly emptied his glass.
“Did you catch Ye Sheng?”
“Gotcha.”
“As expected, it was in the Inkryongbu.”
“I knew roughly how he would move. “He probably hid it because he was good at hiding himself, but he has a personality that is easier to understand than you might think.”
Yang Chen laughed bitterly.
“On the other hand, that guy only saw me as he liked.”
“If the teacher’s shadow is heavy, everyone becomes like that.”
Yang Cheon had no answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong said as she filled his glass.
“It is extremely likely that it is an evil religion.”
“…I guess so.”
“The problem is that it’s not just the leaves.”
“I guess so.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but… I have to go to Sacheon for a while.”
“Sure. It is said that the Yin Emperor travels between Sichuan and Shaanxi. He should probably be in Shaanxi by now, but…”
“I think I should stop by Yinje and Tangjia for a while.”
“Danga?”
“It is very likely that a shaman has been released into the Tang family.”
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
“Explain.”
Yeon Ho-jeong told the entire conversation with Hyo-geuk.
“Hmm.”
Yang Chen stroked his beard.
“Namman’s Five Dog Palace… Yes, it was quite a long time ago. “I heard that there was a fierce fight between the Tang family and the Five Dog Palaces.”
“The Tang family is a family that is well versed in all medicinal poisons scattered throughout the Central Plains. “But we weren’t getting proper information from just one place.”
“Yunnan Province.”
“That’s right. The Tang family wanted to advance in that direction as well, but an unexpected iron wall stood in their way. That was Odoggung.”
“The fight with Odokgung is not well known to the world. It wasn’t something to make a big fuss about in the first place. However, I do know that the fighting that took place in Yunnan was quite severe.”
“The person I caught is a member of the Five Dog Palace. “He was so filled with hatred that he instinctively wanted to kill himself at the mere mention of the word ‘Dang’ in the party song.”
“Nevertheless, he gave up on life…. That means he has already achieved some degree of revenge.”
“That’s right. In other words, the probability that something happened to the party is extremely high.”
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Hey, Adjutant Yeon.”
“Please speak.”
“Let the party take care of that. You are a member of the Mukryong Club. At least that’s the case for now. “Isn’t there something I need to do as a member of the Mukryongbu and as a member of the Murim Alliance?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“That is correct. Of course, I plan to inform the party family of this fact.”
“Okay, now is not the time to worry about other things.”
“However… if something happens within the blood clan, I doubt whether even the Iron Blood Party can properly handle the matter.”
“Hmm.”
Yang Chen frowned.
“Do you really need to intervene?”
“Actually, I had no intention of getting involved in the party issue. But there’s nothing we can do.”
“Why is that?”
“The Tang family is the king of Sichuan. Although the Qingseong and Ami are holding on, the party is actually responsible for encompassing Sichuan’s economy and people’s livelihood.”
“I guess so.”
“Even if you look through the history of martial arts, there is no family that suffered as much damage as the Tang family in the fight against the new world. The reason is clear. This is because Sichuan Province is the primary gateway through which foreign forces infiltrate the central plains.”
Yang Chen sighed.
“In most cases, yes.”
“Actually, this time may be different. However, if Sichuan Province falls in any form, it will be much easier for the troops of the three religions to advance into the central plains.”
“hmm.”
“Sichuan Province is formed as a huge basin. It is a situation that foreign powers cannot easily penetrate. That’s why this area is even more coveted by enemies. “Once you take control, it’s almost impossible to break through.”
“Huh.”
Yang Chen sighed.
“There’s really a lot to worry about.”
“Of course.”
“Even if you’re not, there are many people who are good at their jobs. Probably not as much as you. Moreover, there is a ‘he’ in Sacheondangga.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Danghyung, the king of cancer.”
One of the absolute figures of contemporary martial arts.
He was the greatest martial god in the four heavens, the ruler of poisonous cancer, and a rare loser who was called the most fearsome warrior in the world.
“I’ve never met Brother Tang, but I know very well what a ruthless person he is. “Even though he has retired from the front line, he will never stay still if he knows that the evil influence of the Three Religions has loomed over his family.”
“That is correct.”
“So about this…”
“Just this once.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was serious.
“Please make an exception just this once.”
Yang Chen, who was quietly looking at him, clicked his tongue.
“How the f*ck can I stop you? Since you said you would intervene directly, it must be true that this situation is that dangerous.”
“thank you.”
“I’m just worried. I don’t know if you know this, but you’re pushing yourself too hard right now. “It doesn’t seem like you’re anxious about entrusting tasks to others, but you’re struggling too much on your own.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“I admit it.”
“Just this one time. “I’ll only tolerate it this once, so next time, leave it to someone else.”
“All right.”
“Whoa.”
Yangcheon filled his own cup and Yeonhojeong’s cup.
Yang Chen, who was lost in thought for a moment, nodded.
“Actually, you are right. Sichuan Province is a place that should never be destroyed. Moreover, since Jang Mun-in of the Cheongseong faction caused such an uproar, Cheongseong must have been greatly diminished.”
“I guess so.”
“I’m disturbed in many ways. “If I had run around myself, it wouldn’t have been so frustrating.”
“Get some air at least once in a while.”
“wind? well.”
After emptying his glass, Yang Chen spoke in a heavy voice.
“I need to strengthen my inner workings.”
Although he didn’t say anything, Yang Chen’s mood was also close to the worst.
Ye Sheng’s words still rang in my ears. He made a huge mistake, but if you look at it another way, you can understand his feelings.
Perhaps he lived too comfortably in the name of grazing. It may be that he was trying to avoid paying attention to what he really needed to pay attention to in order to achieve his ambitions.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Yang Cheon quietly, smiled.
“If you know that the existing way is wrong, wouldn’t it be a good idea to change it now?”
“You can’t deceive your eyes.”
Yang Cheon quenched his appetite.
“What can I do now? There’s nothing you can’t do, but there’s no reason to bring in another student to teach him…”
“Is there a need to bring in another student? “Gongnyeo Lee is alive and well.”
“….”
“Honestly, there are some things I personally don’t like, but… it’s still difficult to find someone as talented as the Princess of Science and Technology.”
“haha.”
“The most valuable talent in martial arts is not martial arts talent. “It’s a talent for survival.”
“You’re right.”
“Don’t bother trying to make Princess Lee look like a vice lord. “If you think Princess Lee is a good candidate for a successor, why not just teach her well?”
“Easier said than done. If the second child does not realize the state of non-existence, he will end up becoming an empty soul. Besides, isn’t the second child a girl? “It’s a world where the strong are the best, but in the end, they will be ignored in one way or another.”
“Do you mean that in order to avoid that, you have to somehow become as strong as your vice-lord?”
“Even if you become as strong as me, I don’t know if you will be ignored.”
“Because nothing has changed in the world?”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Then the Buju can change the world called Black Island, right?”
“…what?”
“Anyway, Heukdo is also a place where people live. “There is no need for stealing, assault, robbery, and murder to be commonplace just because it is black.”
Yang Cheon burst out laughing.
“How easy would that be? And that’s not black.”
“Who decided? “That’s not black.”
“….”
“There was a time when the Black Island was also romantic. It had its own rules and etiquette. But now? Is there such a thing in the current Black Island?”
“…Nothing.”
“At least it will be better if we go back to those times.”
“The question is how to do that. “In the history of martial arts, there has never been a person or organization that changed the black sword to suit their own taste.”
“There was.”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
‘It was called Black Emperor Castle.’
During the time of the Heukam Emperor, Heukje Castle was the first unified federation of Heukdo.
His personality was different from the current Mukryongbu. Heukjesung was an organization of ‘real’ people united with steel-like strength.
And black people who admired such a black character gathered one by one.
As time passed, the heukdo changed.
In order to avoid returning to the past where real people live and where beasts run rampant, the world has changed into a world full of people who dream of tomorrow.
“In order to change the Black Island, it is important how the Mukryongbu moves. “If the Mukryongbu grows to the point where it can light a fire in the hearts of all Black Daoists, then it wouldn’t be unreasonable to change the world called Black Dao.”
Yeon Ho-jeong put down the glass and stood up.
“Drink alcohol in moderation. “Even the absolute master cannot stop time.”
With those words, Yeon Ho-jeong left for Daejeon.
Yang Chen asked before he went down the stairs of Daejeon.
“Will the world change?”
Yeon Ho-jeong answered without turning around.
“In order to change the world, we must first protect it. “Boss, I and you are making a fuss just for that one reason.”

Three days later.
“What happened? Came all the way here. And…”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“What is that outfit again?”
“What’s wrong with your outfit?”
In response to Hwang Seok-tae’s calm response, Yeon Ho-jeong said with a shocked expression on his face.
“Have you been dismissed as the leader of the Iron Team?”
Hwang Seok-tae was wearing light armor anytime and anywhere. But it was different now.
Wearing a light black uniform and holding a red long spear, he looked strangely refreshing.
“An order came from above. “They asked me to help you again this time.”
“You can go with someone else. “Shouldn’t you be training with the Iron Knights?”
“Thanks to the training schedule you created, there is no rest. “It will be fine for a few months.”
Hwang Seok-tae leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
“It’s an order from above. “I can’t help it.”
“Ugh, that’s right.”
“So when do we leave?”
“We’re leaving sometime today or tomorrow. “But first, you have to meet people.”
“People? Who?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“The West Station priestess is coming soon.”
