Episode 105
Change of Idea (5)
From the day after finishing the conversation with his father, Yeon Ho-jeong did not leave the house for three days.
And after three days, Yeon Ho-jeong left his residence and headed straight to the main training camp.
It was not for training alone. He naturally talked and trained with the warriors in his household.
Yeonhojeong’s training was harsh. It was common for him to expend his physical strength to the limit, and he did not hesitate to take the lives of warriors with an actual spear sword.
It was an overly dangerous method. It was a somewhat barbaric method and was completely different from Yeonga’s training methods.
At the same time, he clearly distinguished between public and private affairs.
After a life-threatening training, I always ate my meal in the training hall with the warriors. He exchanged pleasantries with the warriors, and soon the warriors relaxed their guard against him.
The warriors naturally realized this. That the Archduke does not regard them as mere useful tools.
Even without explaining it in words, I was able to understand it when we were together. Yeon Ho-jeong, the grand duke of the Yeon family, considers the warriors as one body and only wants them all to become stronger.
Fifteen days have passed like that.
As time passed, the number of warriors participating in training increased.
Yeon Ho-jeong accepted them with a smile. And they pushed them through brutal training that made them feel like they didn’t care if they died.
But surprisingly, no warriors left the training.
Yeon Ho-jeong was harsh yet meticulous. He personally cared for warriors with severe wounds, and made sure they rested if training the next day seemed impossible.
It was a side that Yeon Ho-jeong had never shown before. Yeon Ho-jeong, who was infinitely strong, finally showed the dignity of a prince of the Yeon family by working with his subordinates.
Another 15 days like that.
After a month of making up my mind and starting the training, seventy percent of the warriors in the family joined the training with Yeonhojeong.
Almost all warriors except those who were on a mission or on duty were participating.
Even though the warriors’ training was different from before, Yeonwi did not care about it. I just silently watched the process of Yeonhojeong and the warriors becoming one. It probably means that he believes in his son that much.
Time passed again.
When the harsh sunlight of summer loses its momentum and the cool breeze of early fall blows.
The prayers of the Yeonga warriors, which were as clear as a sunny sky, became as sharp as the world’s famous swords. It was not his personality that changed, but his attitude as a military officer. You have the mental strength to respond immediately no matter what happens at any time.
It was as if they all became Yeon Ho-jeong.
It was indeed what Yeon Ho-jeong had hoped for.
Bye!
“Oops!”
Yangheum fell down, coughing up blood due to the merciless punch.
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“You lost, right?”
He almost kills someone and laughs a lot.
Surprisingly, Yang Heum coughed and grumbled.
“Damn it, I can’t even get seven sums.”
Shinmo, who was standing under the training ground, spoke in her characteristic deep voice.
“Yangheum. “What are you talking about in front of the Grand Duke?”
“Cough!”
“It’s not something that deserves to be treated as an injury.”
“Cough! “Kyaaaak!”
Shinmo’s face was distorted.
These days, they keep ignoring Daeju’s words. I might have to pick up the stick sooner or later.
Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand.
“I’m okay. “It’s okay.”
“But, Archduke.”
“All you have to do is be afraid of the Great Lord. “I think that’s better.”
Shinmo cleared her throat.
“I will change my habits.”
“I don’t mind since that’s my ability as a lender. Well, it’s time to catch it.”
Yang Heum’s face became thoughtful.
“I was just talking to myself. Never to the Archduke….”
“Hey, it’s noisy, so get out of the room quickly. “This internal injury will be a pain if it is not treated properly.”
“Ah yep.”
Yang Heum scratched his head and went down the training hall.
The atmosphere was like this, so it wasn’t obvious, but Yang Heum had suffered quite serious internal injuries. Unless you have a lot of patience, it will be difficult to walk out on your own.
Despite this, there was no disruption in walking. Through past training, I have developed strong stamina and patience.
In Yeon Ho-jeong’s view, the family samurai were finally becoming warriors worthy of warriors.
‘The heads of each organization will take care of the rest.’
When a person sees blood often, his hands naturally become rough and his temper becomes sharper.
It was the job of heads like Shinmo to refine that part. We had an in-depth discussion about this in advance, and the leaders also received thorough training on guided guidance.
“Grand Duke. This time with me…”
“No. busy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong came down to the training ground.
Shinmo asked.
“Are you ending your training here today?”
“Is that possible? I’m the only one finished. “Finish what you’re doing.”
“Are you busy?”
If it were my mother in the past, I wouldn’t have even asked her this question. Although it didn’t seem like it, he too was becoming immersed in this flexible atmosphere.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and patted Shin Mo’s shoulder.
“Try to behave properly while I’m gone.”
“yes?”
“then.”
Yeon Ho-jeong headed straight to his residence.
It was when he reached the front of his residence.
Squirt! Percussion!
Yeon Ho-jeong stretched out his left arm and caught the flying arrow without even looking.
He said in a grumpy tone.
“Slow.”
“It has to be that way.”
Suddenly, a silence appeared in the shadows under the wall.
“Because I threw it with my bare hands.”
“If you’re going to aim, aim for the chest or abdomen. What about the shoulders?”
“And then I really feel like I’m going to die.”
“You’re laughing. “Did you see a tiger get hurt by falling leaves?”
“The analogy is too much.”
“Noisy.”
Mukbi asked.
“Today is over quickly? Where are you going?”
“You too, prepare.”
“Are you ready?”
“I got a call from Pyeon Shin-gong. “They said they brought in the bow for you to use, so you should go too.”
Mukbi’s eyes became bright.
“Is that so? “Just wait a moment!”
She hurriedly entered Yeonryeowon.
At times like this, I look like a child.
‘After making several idiots with innocent faces.’
Mukbi also participated in training with warriors several times. And in a fight with warriors who took her lightly, she destroyed most of them.
Mukbi was fast and strong. Even without holding a bow, he overpowered the warriors at home with just basic fighting skills.
‘The new law is so fraudulent.’
As the owner of extreme divine techniques, her lower body was almost like a weapon. A warrior’s bones would often break with a single light blow.
Steel is dangerous even without a sharp edge. Mukbi’s body and internal strength were exactly like that.
‘It’s a new law… so it just worked out well. I guess I’ll have to train on the way.’
Yeon Ho-jeong went into the living room, washed up, changed into new clothes, and headed straight to the head office.
“Are you here?”
“yes. And…”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked with weary eyes at the pile of documents piled up next to him.
“You’re still busy.”
“That’s how it happened.”
“Isn’t this director the commander-in-chief?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s quickly find someone. “Then you will collapse from overwork.”
“Okay.”
“No matter how expert my father is, he has no business when it comes to work.”
“I will do it appropriately and then hand it over to Manager Lee. “If you are having a hard time, you will find someone to help you.”
It’s truly pitiful.
It seems like Lee Baekhyun’s singing voice is already lingering in my ears. Lee Baek-hyun is also a person who has learned the skills of Yeonga, but I was curious whether he had honed it enough to withstand this murderous workload.
“Are you going to Pyeon Xingong?”
“That’s right.”
Yeonwi looked Yeonhojeong up and down.
“Pyeon Xingong is a great person, but didn’t you give him too much strength?”
Yeon Ho-jeong cleared his throat.
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, shook her head.
“Do you have to be so impatient to use it?”
“I had to go anyway.”
“Tsk, I was wondering why you stopped by in broad daylight.”
Yeon Ho-jeong planned to head straight to Zhejiang after stopping by the blacksmith shop in Pyeonil River.
The purpose was to conduct preliminary research to expand Yeonga’s business to Zhejiang, but the real goal was Mo Yong-wu. He was checking Mo Yong-woo’s location once every five days through the open door.
Fortunately, he was still in the Zhejiang branch.
The days are slowly getting colder. When winter comes, maritime trade also takes a hit. It will probably be as busy as a yearbook.
Yeonwi took out a gold bag from the drawer under the table.
“I prepared it in advance just in case, but I didn’t know they would give it to me already.”
“What is this?”
“It’s money. Don’t sleep out on the street just because you’re training. “The days are getting colder.”
“All right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quickly bowed.
“Then I’ll be back.”
“Return safely.”
“yes. uh? But where is the horizon? “I haven’t seen you lately.”
Yeonwi clicked her tongue.
“Do you mean to say that you now know that there is no horizon?”
“…?”
“I sent it to someone I’ve known for a while. “That was already 20 days ago.”
“…Has it been that long?”
“They even sent a non-response notice.”
“ah? Now that I think about it, I think they said they were going somewhere for a while…”
“….”
“….”
“Do you know how indifferent you are?”
“I can’t really do two things at once.”
“noisy. He said he would have a meal with you before leaving, but after seeing you training with the warriors, he just left. Come back and hang out with Jipyeong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite. I was so out of it that I didn’t even know it was happening.
‘I need to reflect.’
No matter how busy you are, there are things you cannot miss. As an older brother, he felt sorry for his younger brother.
“Anyway, I’ll be back soon.”
“OK.”
* * *
“Elder.”
“Are you here?”
It looked noticeably different from when I saw it two months ago.
His beard became bushier and his body became somewhat dwarfed. He seemed to have been engrossed in work for the past two months.
Pyeon Il-gang said with a smile.
“That’s amazing.”
“yes?”
“You and I are talking about this. It’s only been two months, but it’s different than back then. “The energy that was rough around me has calmed down quite a bit.”
Do you even see something like that?
At first glance, Pyeon Il-gang was a person who recognized the weapons used by military personnel. Being that kind of person, these words will never be empty words.
‘Has my prayer changed that much?’
Energy moves with thoughts, and thoughts are influenced by the mind.
As my heart changed, of course my prayers had to change as well. His prayers, which had been intense as he trained with his family’s warriors, had instead become quiet.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Unlike us, it seems like the old man went through a lot of trouble for no reason.”
“Oops! What trouble? Don’t say that. I am a person who makes a living as a swordsmith. For me, who works with fire and iron, making wonderful weapons is a destiny.”
Pyeonilgang burst out laughing.
“Fortunately, it seems like the hard work was worth it. “I really hope you like it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Since you have such confidence, I will try to look at it as calmly as possible.”
“of course. “He’s the one who has to go through this rough world with you.”
It would be difficult to have that kind of confidence with that personality. It probably means that you put all your effort into it.
“Now come in.”
Yeon Ho-jeong entered the blacksmith shop with his heart pounding.
As soon as I entered the entrance, I saw a huge ax standing in the far corner.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth opened.
“What is it like? Is it plausible?”
