Episode 812
A tiger that does not live in a burrow (6)
Yeonhojeong’s movements were very fast.
Originally, I had planned to organize everything one by one after a few days, but thanks to Jo Pil-do’s fateful incident, I suddenly had a lot to do.
Among the leaders gathered in Daejeon, all except Byeok Un-ho died.
There was no hesitation in eliminating them. Yangcheon was like that, and Yeonhojeong was like that too.
In order to create a new world, it is important to reorganize the central organization, but it is also important to clean up those who are in line with that organization.
Yeon Ho-jeong believed that organizing the Heukdo clan first was a priority rather than the internal affairs of the Mukryongbu. The reason was that various factions would sensitively read the changes in the Mukryongbu.
Since they are specialized in survival, if you give them time, they will hide things that should not be hidden and even reveal their strengths. Yeon Ho-jeong, who had seen all kinds of delinquent servants during the time of the Emperor of Darkness, saw through their instincts accurately.
That was also the reason why letters were sent to the clans of the dead chiefs. Originally, when they arrived, I had planned to call everyone and resolve the issue at once, but the situation ended up like this.
“It’s nice because it’s hot, but isn’t it moving too quickly?”
Yeon Ho-jeong answered Yang Cheon’s question like this:
“Nokrim gave us a chance to establish the law as soon as possible, but we should throw it away while the opportunity has come. On the contrary, I like it.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“And this is not urgent. It’s fast. “As long as we have drawn a clear map for the future, there is nothing to hesitate about.”
Even in such a situation, Yeon Ho-jeong did not neglect martial arts training. As Yang Cheon said, he learned it in an instant thanks to his enlightenment and intense combat experience, but it took time to put it to use because it was clear that Black Lion Gi and Whirlwind Lion Quan were top-level martial arts.
Before the traces left by the new wind in Mukryongbu could be erased, another storm broke out.

“This is the final report.”
White Paper unfolded the letter and spoke.
“We have detected covert movements near Jiangxi and Zhejiang. “It appears to be a fairly large group of masters, but they say they are not members of the Three Religions.”
“Our information and the public information also said that all the notable Three Churches have disappeared. “It won’t be the Three Churches.”
“yes.”
“How much power?”
“Not everything has been revealed yet, but based on the information we have obtained so far, we believe that their power is comparable to that of the Iron Team.”
“That’s amazing.”
“We are trying to figure out which organization it is related to. However, there is a high probability that it will not be on our side.”
It was the Mukryongbu that was collecting most of the information about the Black Island clans. Even if they missed something, the intelligence group of the Black Island was not so clumsy as to not know that an armed group equivalent to the Iron Team existed.
“It could be the power of the Baekdo Moorim side, or else…”
“It could be an armed group other than Sae. “I’m wearing midfielder’s clothes, but I can change my clothes depending on the situation.”
“That is correct. Now that I think about it, it seems plausible. Although they are holding their breath because of the three religions, the power of the factions outside of Sae is also great. There is a possibility that the midfielder came in and said it was a good thing that there was this mess.”
“I think the possibility is rather high. Moreover, they are said to be conducting some kind of trade with the Japanese through the Zhejiang coast. “It is not a place worth messing with in the Baekdo martial arts world that values honor.”
Yang Chen nodded.
“Tell them to investigate properly. “There won’t be a shortage of public funds, right?”
“of course. I invested the thousands of gold I had previously earned into the intelligence group. “It will show sharper intelligence than a year ago.”
“good.”
Yang Chen sighed and buried himself in the royal palace.
“There is no such thing as a windy day in this world.”
“….”
“You worked hard today too. Let’s go and rest now. “You too have been very busy these days.”
“…Sir.”
“hmm?”
Yang Chen looked down at the white paper.
He lowered his head so his face was not visible. But Yangcheon knew from previous experience. That the white paper is hesitant about something.
Yang Chen said with a smile.
“He may not be a priest, but he is the one who taught me martial arts. Although we are military subjects, is there anything that cannot be said between you and me? “Don’t worry about it and just tell me.”
“I’m just sorry.”
Baekseo raised his waist and looked at Yang Chen and said.
“My thoughts are just… I’m worried that the current situation may be too sudden.”
Even if he was comfortable speaking, he rarely spoke about his personal concerns openly. This probably means that the white paper is anxious.
“In what part?”
“This is what Sobuju is doing.”
Yang Chen chuckled.
“Was that really it?”
“sorry.”
“What is there to be sorry for? “Actually, there are times when I even flinch.”
White Paper’s eyes wavered.
“So Buju, no, the King is definitely an amazing talent.”
If it had been before, I would have called out the three letters of the name. It was difficult for even the world’s white paper to call Yeonhojeong, whose name was listed in Seongcheon, careless.
“He is truly a natural when it comes to martial arts and resourcefulness. “His talent is amazing, but it’s even more surprising because he never rests on his talent and always works hard.”
“Of course it is.”
“However, I think this incident may have gone too far for an uneducated person to think.”
“is it?”
“The deceased leaders of the Black Island are people who have been a great help in the growth of the Mukryongbu. Getting rid of them right away would have a huge impact on the Black Island martial arts world. No, the ripple effect is already spreading.”
Yang Cheon knew that Baek Seo did not regret their deaths.
“It’s a wavelength.”
“That’s right. “It is natural for them to die, but what is important is the perspective of the various factions who found out about it.”
Like Yang Cheon, Baek Seo also knew that the world could not be conquered by force alone.
Of course, the greatest virtue of the black sword is strength. However, if you ask whether it is an absolute value, you cannot necessarily say that it is.
Heukdo also has its own politics. In some ways, it is more brutal than the politics of the White Island.
In white politics, yesterday’s enemy can become today’s friend and tomorrow’s nightmare.
However, the betrayal of Heukdo is not a one-day affair, but a series of incest. Heukdo is a place where the guy who was laughing and drinking with you just now can pull out his sword and rush at you as soon as he leaves the side.
The establishment of the Mukryongbu in this bloody, dark world where change was so rapid and betrayal was a given was something close to a miracle.
Furthermore, Yang Cheon used his reputation and powerful military force to subjugate numerous factions and place them under his command.
Therefore, those who followed Yang Chen did not see him as a simple monarch.
For those who had a desire to change the dark world and change the world, Yangcheon was almost like a god. This was because no one had ever come forward and shown such a thing.
However, the world does not go the way people want it to.
Yang Chen’s majesty and influence were so overwhelming that no one betrayed him, and even if his influence had been slightly less, several sects would have already withdrawn from the Mukryongbu.
This is not because they are stupid, but because they have lived that way. And the black people did not think their behavior was strange at all.
“The Lord Bu is a gift from heaven. The countless feats that the Vice Lord has accomplished so far deserve praise. However, I feel that the things the King has been doing recently are excessive, even if they are done with the permission of the Vice Lord.”
Yang Cheon’s eyes wrinkled.
“why? Do you think Sobuju’s radical actions could harm the dignity of this position?”
“…That’s right.”
It would have been really difficult to say that in the nature of the white paper.
But it didn’t end there. The white paper planned to say something that was too difficult to say until the end of the day.
“Moving forward…”
“Such an appearance by the minor lord may diminish my influence and dignity, and it may seem as if I, the minor lord, am being swayed by him.”
White Paper closed his eyes tightly.
“That’s right.”
“haha.”
“Please kill me.”
“Hey man. Why am I killing you?”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“There are many subordinates under my command. However, there are few people who fully convey my heart. “You are one of them.”
“It’s an honor.”
“It won’t happen, but even if you put a knife in my back, I will never kill you. “For whatever reason, I will forgive you at least once.”
A look of upheaval appeared on Baekseo’s face.
In the dark world, one forgiveness means the greatest trust. This is because it is common for one mistake to cost one’s life.
In other words, Yang Cheon meant that it would not be a waste to give Baek Seo his life.
“And I believe in Yeon Ho-jeong in a different way than you do.”
“…!”
“The trust I show in you is literally trust. When it comes to trust in people itself. “But my trust in Yeon Ho-jeong is different.”
Yang Chen closed his eyes.
The accusatory expression on his face as if he was remembering Yeon Ho-jeong was quite impressive.
“I know his desires and future. And I know that that desire, purpose and dream will never change.”
“….”
“This guy cares about his family more than anyone else. However, due to this Sobuju incident, even my family became the subject of gossip. “I can’t imagine how much agony he must have had to make that decision.”
White Paper’s eyes wavered.
“Of course, there are those who believe it. But such an act itself would be a heaven-shattering experience for him.”
Yang Chen opened his eyes.
His deeply sunken eyes looked very wise, not befitting his nickname, Tuwang.
“There’s no going back for him now.”
“That makes me even more worried.”
“There’s nothing behind, so just running forward doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in a hurry.”
“…yes?”
“We had a lot of conversations about the new world. And from now on, I want to show you the future of that conversation.”
What does this mean?
Yang Cheon shouted towards the gate of Daejeon, leaving Baek Seo puzzled.
“Come on in.”
Kugugoogung!
The door opened and Yeon Ho-jeong appeared.
“If you had come, you would have said you had come, so why did you stay quiet?”
“It seemed like you were having an important conversation, so I waited.”
“You mean you had that kind of consideration?”
“No matter how different my relationship with Master is, I have to at least keep what I have to protect.”
Yang Chen laughed.
“Well, since you’re like that on the outside, I guess I don’t know what to do.”
“Haha, just kidding.”
Yeon Ho-jeong knelt next to Baek Seo.
Baek Seo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong. However, Yeon Ho-jeong did not look at the white paper.
Yeon Ho-jeong took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her arms.
“This is a newly created organizational reorganization chart.”
“Have you made it already?”
“With the external cleanup in progress, we need to start the internal cleanup in time.”
“Take a break. “Even if you reach the level of non-existence, people are still people.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Wooooow.
Yangcheon took the paper out of thin air and read the contents with interest.
“I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s unconventional.”
“That’s right.”
“But it’s definitely more practical than before. “If things continue like this, there will be quite an uproar.”
“That can’t be helped.”
Yangcheon folded the paper and looked at Yeonhojeong.
“Let’s get out of the cave soon?”
“Have you not been trying to leave for a long time?”
“It did. Construction started right away. The new Black Island Alliance will be able to confidently look up to the sky from above ground rather than underground.”
“yes.”
Why?
At this moment, Yang Cheon unconsciously asked Yeon Ho-jeong this question.
“What would you like the name of this new home to be?”
