Emperor Wu (4)
“… … !”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
“You said that… … ?”
“exactly.”
Moyong’s face looked somewhat distraught.
“I didn’t understand the conversation at first. But after thinking about it, I guess… … .”
“… … .”
“It seemed like a lot of preparations were made.”
“… … !”
He was the one who told Zhuge Munho about the conversation with the Three Four Kings in prison.
At that time, Prince Mo Yong could not know exactly what their conversation meant.
But now I know. It can be inferred.
It was an understandable, but slightly strange, early withdrawal from Yeonhojeong.
“It was strange. “It is a big problem that the anti-black faction started agitating and got caught up in it, but if Yeon Ho-jeong says he will stick around until the end, there will be no fool who will point a finger at him and tell him to leave.”
“But I went out. Because he knew that leaving was a much better option for everyone.”
“exactly. I think so too. And this painting was exactly what that guy Sejak wanted.”
This is an operation that cannot be avoided even if you know it.
What else would that be if not a first-class operation?
“I was a bit puzzled by that part. It created strong distrust between the two groups, black and white, but that did not mean the alliance was broken. “If Yeonhojeong had not been influenced by public opinion or Sejak had been caught, he would have faced a different situation than he is now, but it would not have led to the breakdown of the alliance.”
“That’s my opinion too.”
“But Sejak was very satisfied. No, I don’t know if he’s a complacent guy, but he at least seemed confident that his ruse had worked.”
“… … .”
“While the alliance is maintained, only Yeon Ho-jeong and his party leave the Murim Alliance? The Murim Alliance is not an easy place. “I wouldn’t have thought what would happen without Yeonhojeong.”
“but.”
“… … .”
“I wouldn’t have underestimated Yeon Sobuju’s abilities.”
“I guess so.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“In other words, what Sejak wanted was the departure of Yeonhojeong ‘individuals’.”
“… … !”
“No matter how much I think about it, that’s the only thing I can think of. Of course, due to this situation, the Murim Alliance will unite like an army, and the Three Churches will watch the process and respond in their own way, but a person named Yeon Ho-jeong will be classified as the most important person in the Three Churches.”
“then!”
Zhuge Wenhu suddenly stood up.
“Isn’t now the time to be like this!”
“And Yeon Ho-jeong said this.”
“… … ?”
“Doubtful.”
It was said that doubt would soon create ghosts without any doubt.
“What Sejak wants is chaos in the martial arts world. Yeonhojeong voluntarily strayed from the center. Even if we go to help him now, there is a high probability that we will actually cause damage to his operation.”
“Oh my!”
Zhuge Wenhu slammed the table.
“Why didn’t you tell me! “If I had said it right away, I would have gone out of my way to add experts!”
There are combat units available for immediate operation. If it had been added to a certain extent, Yeonhojeong would have been able to come up with a plan by adding up the troops.
Ten hands are better than one. Why didn’t Yeon Ho-jeong ask for help when there was a much easier way?
If the combat unit was burdensome, you could have asked Namgung Seung or Jong-ri-baek.
“He went on like this because he had confidence.”
“but… … .”
“The reason I’m telling you this isn’t to tell you to worry about him.”
“… … ?”
“I’m telling you to mind your own business and do your best.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
Prince Mo Yong’s gaze, who was looking out the window, was aimed precisely at Zhuge Wenhu.
“Combat troops? Seongcheon? Yes, putting aside the combat unit, things would have been much easier if they had attached a Seongcheon-level expert. “Then what is the Murim Alliance?”
“what… … ?”
“What on earth are you doing now when you have gathered so much power?”
“… … !!”
“From now on, the Murim Alliance must prepare for war without wasting a single person. In that process, the sword kings will have to play an absolute role. The same goes for Bonggong and the elders.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“Do you think there are enough members of the Murim Alliance left?”
“… … .”
“If it was left behind, wouldn’t you have suppressed that anti-black faction a long time ago? If preparation had been perfect, it could have been fully controlled. Isn’t that right?”
I had nothing to say.
Zhuge Wenhu had a very busy time. However, since he was a soldier, he could not make excuses for his mistakes.
Prince Moyong stood up.
“The reason he left without saying anything was because he knew my personality. “They must have believed that I would convey this entire process to the military.”
“… … .”
“In other words, Yeonhojeong warned not only the anti-black faction about this incident, but also you, the soldier. “Get ready to swing straight with all the treasured swords you have.”
“… … .”
“Who are you helping? Stop thinking about such useless things. What I’m saying is, take the time to properly maintain the Murim Alliance while helping others. “Rather than a group so weak that it can be shaken by just one small detail, make it an elite group that cannot be shaken even when attacked by a hundred thousand armies.”
Prince Moyong stood up.
Zhuge Wenhu could not raise his face at his calm and stern words.
Although I am proud of the work I have done so far, there have been quite a few mistakes. If you made a mistake, you shouldn’t do it next time, but how many times have you repeated the same mistake?
Busy, busy again. To the extent that it takes a toll on preparations for the expedition.
But if war breaks out, that excuse won’t work.
“but… … However, the importance of soft care does not change.”
“That is also correct. I’m jealous, but that guy’s presence encompasses the world. “If he dies at the hands of the enemy, we will be as shocked as if we lost 100,000 soldiers.”
“therefore!”
“That! He knows it too. “The fact that we realized that and went without the help of the Murim Alliance means that we can solve the problem at hand.”
Moyong folded his arms and looked out the window again.
“What I’m worried about is how much of Yeonhojeong’s abilities he had when he first planned his strategy.”
* * *
“A trap?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“okay.”
“then… … ?!”
Buseon was startled, but soon composed himself.
“You’re confident you can handle it.”
“I’m not stupid enough to rely on my pride alone and push through a topic I’m not confident I can handle.”
His calm voice completely washed away Buseon’s anxiety.
“Of course, it won’t be easy.”
“is that so.”
“But it’s okay. “We have a weapon that is beyond imagination.”
Buseon didn’t ask what it was. Because he believed that everyone would have their own thoughts.
How long did it take to walk like that?
“… … .”
Yeon Ho-jeong slowed down his speech.
In the distance, I could see the entrance leading to a narrow canyon. If you go in there, it will be easy to get attacked from the left and right.
Although it is narrow, it is wide enough for even an expert to run wild. The problem was the left and right cliffs and the rear.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
The terrain was the same, but the discomfort that was creeping up was stimulating his upper level.
Crunchy.
The sight of him slowly turning his neck to relax his body was still hot.
Buseon swallowed dry saliva and asked.
“Are you coming?”
“It’s already here.”
“How amazing. If Sejak was really aiming for this, he wouldn’t have been able to keep that many troops stationed all the time. “Is there an information book that links to them?”
“That may be true, but I don’t think so.”
“Why?”
“Sejak must have contacted them right before he did anything. “Whether it succeeds or fails, at least we’ll see each other within 15 days.”
Full moon.
It was more than enough time to look at the surrounding terrain and become familiar with the environment.
However, there are several roads from Murimmaeng to Honam. They would also have needed some time to choose one of them and move on.
If you think about it that way, 15 days could be seen as just the right amount of time.
“Then that terrain… … ?”
“okay.”
Clap!
A subtle look of speculation appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face as he placed the light dragon on his shoulder.
“This is the battlefield I chose. “Because this area is crisp.”
Bu-seon looked at Yeon-ho-jeong with strange eyes. There was an admiration that could not be hidden in those eyes.
“Is Samae ready?”
“Sure.”
“If you feel like you’re going to die, don’t fight back and just retreat. “I originally planned to end this fight alone.”
“All right.”
So the two rode their horses to the entrance of the canyon.
“… … !!”
Buseon looked around with sharp eyes.
I couldn’t find any sign of it, but for some reason I felt a sense of war. Her senses weren’t usually sharp either.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“Come out.”
Will he really come out when he is told to come out?
“… … !!”
Buseon’s eyes wavered.
Two men and a woman walked out from the shadows inside the canyon.
Creepy!
As soon as he saw the two men and women, Buseon felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
‘Unbelievable!’
It did not exude a violent spirit or have a great presence like Yeonhojeong.
However, for a moment, I had a vision of my head falling off. They were insidious and devious people.
Wooooow.
The yellow dragon flag flowed from Yeon Hojeong’s body.
Buseon, who was next to him, felt much calmer. This was because Hwangryonggi permeated and touched the middle and upper quarters.
After calmness comes fighting spirit.
Hwangryonggi, which contains the heart of Yeonhojeong, removed the fear of Buseon and awakened his dormant fighting spirit.
“What are you?”
The man burst into laughter at Yeon Ho-jeong’s poignant question.
“It was really long. “It’s nice to finally meet you.”
It was a frivolous voice.
The voice was frivolous, but the prayer was no joke.
‘Stronger than that guy.’
There was a guy named Ho Yeon-jong who competed with Ha Eung-yo in the past.
That guy is stronger than that guy. Still, it gave off a similar vibe to that guy.
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
‘Yin Hwangmu (陰荒武)!!’
Mastering Yinhwangmu means that one has the blood of a religious leader, like the Hoyeonjong guy.
The veins on the back of Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand, which was holding the Gwangryongbu, bulged.
“Are you a Saeumgyo?”
“Hoo, can you tell that at a glance? Didn’t you say that you had a fight with that bastard?”
Samhobeop probably means Hoyeonjong.
A person who has mastered the Yin Hwang Sa Qi (陰荒邪氣), and the word Samhobeop.
The answer was simple.
“Are you also a child who is trying to protect the Saeumgyo religion?”
“Look at the little guy’s speech habits. “The kid is yours, you bastard.”
It was a voice full of composure.
In reality, the man was well over fifty. Although he was much older than Hoenn Jong in terms of his age, he was an expert who beat Hoenn Jong with his skills and earned the second position of guardian.
Saeumgyo Ihobeop (二護法) Ho Yeon Gwang.
Like Yeon Ho-jeong, who held the Gwangryongbu, he also had a heavy bottle resting on his shoulder.
Above the long pole made of steel, there is an iron weight connected to the body of the pole. The thickness of the iron weight, which was longer than the blade of the scimitar sword, was almost as thick as the torso of an adult woman.
Ho Yeon-gwang smiled and aimed his heavy weapon, Georyongchu (巨龍椎).
“Question and answer dance. “Would you like to take a look at the skills of the famous little master of the Mukryongbu?”
