Emperor Wu (1)
“… … .”
The expressions on the faces of the people who handed over the letters one after another were extremely dark.
“It’s worth it.”
Ki Cheon-woong was the first to open his mouth.
“The insidiousness of the Saeum cult is beyond imagination. “It may be the result of my wealth, but he is the one who drove the father and son into discord and brought power to one place, so this is ridiculous.”
The voice was bitter.
Peng Mu-gang looked at Yan Wei with mixed eyes.
“Yeongaju.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“I’m fine. “I’m worried about Hojeong.”
“… … .”
“Hojeong has succeeded in things that even I, as her father, could not have imagined, as if they were natural. “I may be rich, but I don’t have enough insight to look into what my son is doing.”
“I think this is a different issue from ability.”
“Of course it is.”
Yeonwi sighed.
‘Hey guy, are you okay?’
He was the one who knew better than anyone else how much Yeon Ho-jeong cared for the Murim Alliance.
To be precise, they were treated with respect because they were comrades in arms in the fight against the Three Religions, but how can a person build a relationship based solely on necessity? There were many people in the Murim Alliance who gave to Yeon Ho-jeong, and Yeon Ho-jeong also considered them as his own.
Of course, my son’s heart is rotting.
‘It’s obvious even without looking at how frustrated and sad you must have been.’
Still, I have no doubt that we will overcome it.
We will definitely overcome it, and in fact, the letter said that Yeonhojeong’s response was very excellent.
but… … In the process, she felt sorry and worried for her son, who must have shed bloody tears because of the feelings she could not share with others.
“Really.”
A voice that seemed to pour cold water into the disturbing atmosphere.
“They are idiots who can’t think ahead.”
It was Yang Cheon’s rare anger.
Yangcheon’s momentum leaking out was truly terrifying. He doesn’t show that he wants to live because it’s his position, but if there was a half-black faction in front of him, it seemed like he would tear them to death at any moment.
“You really don’t know why that young guy risked his life to cross the central plains?”
Surprisingly, Yang Cheon was angry not because they showed hatred towards Heukdo, but because he was worried about Yeon Ho-jeong.
If you think about it another way, although it was only a superficial relationship between priests, the two shared feelings close to friendship.
To put it more deeply, for Yang Cheon, Yeon Ho-jeong is his person. That’s why you get angry.
“If the black sword was so disliked and hated, did it not occur to me that the opposite is also true? “It’s really frustrating!”
Yan Wei and Peng Mu-gang could not help but sigh at Yang Cheon’s angry words.
“We have no shame.”
Yang Cheon did not respond to Yeon Wi’s words. That’s how angry I was.
Gi Cheon-woong shook his head.
“I guess that’s not important right now.”
Everyone looked at Ki Cheonwoong.
Ki Cheon-woong pointed to the letter with his chin.
“They said they needed someone who could represent the emperor’s will. “It is difficult for Lord Yeonga or Lord Paeng to move right now, and if Lord Mukryong goes, it could cause unnecessary tension, so this won’t work either.”
“okay.”
“If you say that to Gok-gyeong, it’s obvious that he will shout that it is absolutely impossible.”
The fact that the emperor faked his own death is something that would shake the world.
However, the Shinhwa Church could have tried to find out separately whether that was true. If an accident were to occur during the process, it could also be considered a major disaster.
“I will go.”
Yang Cheon stepped forward without hesitation.
Gi Cheonwoong frowned.
“Are you planning on having a fight?”
“No way. “I’m going to go to the Mukryongbu first.”
“To the Inkryongbu?”
“If the disciple leaves the Murim Alliance and heads to the Mukryong Club, there will definitely be chaos within the Mukryong Club. “He can’t hide what happened in the Murim Alliance forever.”
“But that’s true.”
“The Three Schools even went so far as to assassinate the emperor. “It means war is just around the corner.”
“… … .”
“I have work to do here. “I always have a lot of work to do, so it’s welcome, but I think I’ll be able to sleep with my feet up if I go and make sure to look after my student and come back.”
It seemed like several issues were taken into consideration.
His intention is to comfort Yeon Ho-jeong and entrust full authority to the Mukryongbu on his behalf since he is in the imperial palace.
It’s not that it’s not, but it seemed that Yangcheon had to give strength to Yeonhojeong immediately so that the fallen Murim League people would come to their senses. This was not only an act of hatred for the Murim Alliance, but also a necessary act for future wars.
“It won’t take long. Let’s send Gok-gyeong to him when he returns from handling his affairs. “If we all work together to protect His Majesty, no dangerous situation will arise.”
In the meantime, it meant that there was a justification that could persuade even Gokgyeong.
Gi Cheonwoong looked at Yeonwi.
Yeonwi nodded slightly.
“It doesn’t seem bad.”
Peng Wugang spoke to Yang Chen in a coy tone.
“Now that I see you, you are incredibly smart.”
“It’s noisy. I’m not feeling well right now. “I don’t want to talk to the Murim League for a while.”
If I really didn’t want to mix things up, I wouldn’t have even said that. Maybe it was because they had become closer recently, but he was the one who responded to Peng Mu-gang’s jokes with jokes.
It was then.
“There is no need for that.”
The person who opened the door and came in without permission was Gok-gyeong.
And behind the gokgyeong were Great Master Muheo and Takmuja.
Gok-gyeong said with a tired face.
“I will go straight to the Murim Alliance. So, Vice Lord Yang, please take the picture of Mukryongbu and come straight to Maeng.”
Normally, I would have wondered why this guy spoke so calmly, but the situation was so serious that he couldn’t say anything like that.
Yang Chen asked with a puzzled look.
“For what reason?”
Gok-gyeong pointed behind himself with his hand.
Master Muhe said with a smile.
“We decided to stay by your Majesty’s side.”
Everyone was surprised.
Yeonwi spoke carefully.
“I heard that Mr. Noh Seon-bae is not feeling well.”
Takmuja laughed as if it was fun.
“So, do you think I’ve already become a half-chapter?”
“Oh, no. I didn’t mean it that way… … .”
It was a rare embarrassment for Yeonwi.
Takmuja burst out laughing.
“If there was no Daengjung, it would be chaff. “My doctor is by my side, so there will be no problem.”
“If you two are by your Majesty’s side, there will be no more reliable protection than this.”
Yeonwi looked at Gokgyeong.
Although he had a tired complexion, he was also a person who discussed the world. He knew better than anyone else that he had no choice but to step forward in an urgent situation.
“There won’t be much point in discussing it over and over again. “I plan to move right away, even tonight.”
Yang Cheon stood up.
“Me too. “Let us leave immediately.”
At that time, Ki Cheon-woong raised his hand.
“Let me go too.”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes widened.
Takmuja tilted his head.
“Are you planning on going to play with fire?”
Gi Cheon-woong said with an unpleasant face.
“What do you mean? Still, the old man is competing for first place on the continent.”
“That’s not important. But why do you want to go?”
“Isn’t it obvious? My idiot son must be hearing reports that the emperor is dead by now. “What would you think if I stayed here under those circumstances?”
“Hmm.”
“It’s better if you leave me too. I’ve already made a deal with the emperor. But since I can’t just be anywhere in the central plains, I have to meet Ahae, the rumored king.”
“Why do you go to the Murim League?”
Ki Cheon-woong waved the letter.
“Are you telling me to go to a place where an unexpected situation like this occurred? “Even if Sejak’s tongue was sweet, if he had kept his head straight, the matter wouldn’t have escalated to this point.”
“… … .”
“If the leader has clearly taken control of the bandits, if I go there, Jay’s anti-black faction incident will erupt.”
Gi Cheon-ung looked at Yang Cheon and asked.
“Isn’t it?”
Yang Chen nodded silently. It was an unspoken agreement.
Master Mu He smiled and asked.
“Does the Dandanjeon training method that Malco taught me suit your body?”
Ki Cheon-woong turned his head without saying a word. I don’t know if he was embarrassed or what, but he was someone who would have said outright that if it wasn’t effective, it wasn’t there.
Just like that, all preparations were completed on the imperial palace side.
“Let those who are going to go go, and those who will stay, let’s stay.”
* * *
When trying to create new relationships or new footsteps, the right people tend to go to different places.
When Yeon Ho-jeong said his last greetings at the square.
As if promised, the group who finished their work in Cheonghae also returned.
They quickly passed the outer fortress and were in front of the inner fortress, and they were able to immediately notice that the atmosphere in the castle was unusual.
The informants who confirmed their affiliation immediately contacted Zhuge Mun-ho, and Zhuge Mun-ho went to the outer castle alone and explained the situation to them.
“These people will tear you to death!!”
The anger of the party official was truly terrifying.
It was a situation that immediately ruined the joy of achieving no victory. There were a lot of people around, so he didn’t dare to risk his life, but just by looking at his eyes, it seemed like he was going to catch all the anti-black warriors and unleash poisonous attacks on them.
“What on earth did you have in your head to do such a bullshit thing!”
The party official shouted to the gate guards guarding the gate leading to the inner castle.
“Open the door now! “I will meet them one by one and make them neither dead nor alive for seven days and seven nights!”
He was not an angry person, but even considering his usual personality, he was excessively angry.
To that extent, it could be seen that he was thinking about Yeonhojeong and the well-being of the world. However, the anger was too much to say that it was simply because of that reason.
Zhuge Lifts up his hands.
“Calm down, Dangaju.”
“Is this something to calm down?! What on earth have you done! While those damn bastards are doing it like that… … !”
At that time, Mukbi spoke.
“Matriarch.”
The official did not look at her. But when she heard her voice, she stopped talking and just grunted.
Okcheong spoke carefully.
“You have to be careful. If you don’t manage it well… … .”
“know.”
The officer who answered briefly turned his head away. It seemed like he was trying hard to control his rising anger.
Zhuge Wenhu, who was calmly watching the hall, smiled and lowered his head.
“Congratulations on reaching the top.”
“… … .”
“Let’s do better in the future.”
The official, who had been huffing and puffing for a while, soon sighed.
“Damn it, why can’t I control my emotions? “Is this what everyone does when they reach the top?”
Although he is proud of the level he has achieved, there is also a hint of anxiety about losing himself once in a while.
The officer asked in a confused voice.
“Where is he? No, I understand. “It’s near my inner maengjubu.”
“That’s right. The warriors will soon disperse.”
“Those who were part of the anti-black faction, please bring them in and confront me.”
“It won’t be difficult as long as the matriarch confirms that she won’t use her hands.”
“and… … .”
The official asked hesitantly.
“His condition… … ?”
At that time, Yeon Ji-pyeong answered.
“Your brother will be okay.”
Zhuge Munho looked at Yeonjipyeong.
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face also showed worry and pain, but he seemed much calmer than before he left.
“Isn’t that so, soldier?”
“Yes, you are right. Is your brother a normal person? On the contrary, he used this crisis as an opportunity to unite all my warriors, so it can be said that he is indeed a hero.”
“Fortunately, the.”
That was the end. Knowing that saying more is meaningless unless you see it in person.
Silence spoke in a calm but firm tone.
“Please take me to the practitioner, soldier.”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“Open the gate.”
