Episode 126
Baekdo Murim Alliance (1)
‘Hmm?’
Yeonwi’s eyes became sharp. In the distance, about a hundred masters were stopping and watching.
Although it was quite a distance away, I could immediately recognize who they were.
“The Namgung family.”
Namgung Sega is the best among swordsmen.
He and Yeonga have a somewhat turbulent relationship. However, Yeonwi’s expression did not change as usual.
“What do you think?”
“yes?”
Mukbi looked at Yeonwi in surprise.
Yeonwi pointed to the Namgung family with his chin.
“Their skills.”
“Ah…”
Confusion appeared on Mukbi’s face.
“I think it’s awesome. “I can feel the stinging blackness from here too.”
“okay?”
“yes. “It feels heavy and solemn.”
“I saw it well. “Everyone who has faced Namgung’s sword describes it as magnificent.”
On the other hand, Yeonga’s sword was different.
Yeonga’s sword aims for strict standards. So, if you learn it properly, it is evaluated as having no special features, but if you practice it properly, it is evaluated as overpowering all swords.
Perhaps the title of the best in swords would be more appropriate for Yeonga than Namgung.
At least as far as Baekdo Murim is concerned.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
Yeonga’s troops moved.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was driving a horse, slowly moved next to Muk-bi.
“hey.”
“yes?”
“Relax your expression, man.”
“What do you think about my facial expression?”
“I feel like there’s a black fire burning in my heart. “Are you confused and don’t know what to do?”
In fact, Mukbi felt dizzy.
I heard a rumor that the Namgung family raided the Anhui Blood Palace’s stronghold and cut off evil in the bud. If so, Gwanilgok would definitely have been on the path to destruction.
They did their job instead. It was intentional, but somehow I felt uneasy.
“As I said before, there is no need to feel indebted or blame them for something like that. We just used them as chess horses. “Nothing more, nothing less.”
“I know.”
“Okay, that’s all you need to know.”
Mukbi sighed.
“I know, but I feel really strange.”
“There is no need to force yourself to sort out your emotions.”
“Phew.”
Mukbi sighed and suddenly saw the horse Yeonhojeong was riding.
“It’s new, but…”
“Hmm?”
“That’s a really great thing to say.”
The horse Yeon Ho-jeong rode was larger and more majestic than the other horses. The muscles that dynamically split each time he took a step were clearly revealed.
“I can’t help it.”
The weight of the Gwangryongbu was exactly 82 pounds.
With a serious illness that weighs over 80 pounds, it also affects the natural physical strength of the horse. It may not be the weight of an intact person, but if the moment comes to hold and swing the light dragon on horseback, the horse’s stamina will drop drastically.
Of course, I had no choice but to get a military horse with good stamina and strength.
“Others will think that the practitioner is in charge.”
“Tsk.”
“I still don’t understand. “There are many high-level martial artists in Yeonga, so why did you choose that heavy axe?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I don’t know.”
It was almost a coincidence that he came to wield an axe.
Although not as many as in White Island, there were many hidden experts in Black Island as well. And when engaging in a melee with the experts, I realized that my bare hands had their limits.
Then, by chance, I grabbed the spear that had fallen on the floor and swung it, and before I knew it, it turned into an axe. In other words, it should be seen as a talent discovered while fighting.
“No matter what, if you can become stronger, that’s okay.”
“You look like a Confucius.”
At that time, Yeonwi raised his hand.
“Be quiet.”
Before we knew it, the group had reached the front of Namgung’s troops.
Namgung-in stepped forward and took power.
“I want to see you, Yeongaju.” “I am Namgung-in.”
Yeonwi also bowed his head.
“See the head of the Nangung family. Yeonwi.”
Those gathered here could feel the strange tension between the two leaders.
Namgoongin smiled.
“Are you on your way to the Murimmaeng?”
“exactly.”
“We met here by chance, so I don’t think there’s any need to go separately. Would you like to join us?”
“Good.”
It was an extremely plain conversation. With just a few words, the two families began to walk together.
The two leaders led the horses.
“Hehe, you’re amazing.”
“…?”
“You seem to be stronger than when I last saw you. “It is said that the reputation of the Judge and Sword will shake the Gangdong region, and later it will sweep across the south and north of the Great River.”
“That’s too much praise.”
It is a compliment given with the intention of making the atmosphere better. It was polite to respond, but Yeonwi’s response was only brief.
I don’t say anything that doesn’t come straight from my heart. Yeonwi’s personality was like that.
Moreover, the two families were entangled in bad things between their children. It’s not a time to laugh and talk.
Namgoongin glanced at Yeonhojeong.
“You are the son of a recently famous royal family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong was about to reply, “Yes,” when she suddenly saw the look in her father’s eyes.
He sighed inwardly.
“That’s right.”
“haha!”
Namgoongin just burst out laughing.
Are you offended by Yeon Ho-jeong’s simple answer? Not like that.
‘Even if you misread the other person, you clearly misunderstood them.’
I could tell at a glance.
Yeon Ho-jeong is a strong person. It was so difficult to even imagine that it was the martial arts of a young man who had just reached the age of maturity.
Surprisingly, his martial arts skills were comparable to the first one that came out after closing. At least that was how it seemed on the outside.
‘If you have the skills you have now, even at the time, you would have looked down on any expert. I’ve been playing with Chuseong, but now I’m finally realizing it.’
Namgung-in clicked his tongue.
‘How dare you touch this guy?’
Although it has passed, I am once again disappointed in Namgoong Hyun.
Namgoongin, who hid his true feelings, smiled and said.
“It is a prayer that is worthless of the title of Byeoksanhojang. Yeonga’s future is truly bright.”
“thank you.”
I’m not particularly humble. However, he didn’t seem to talk much.
Namgung-in turned his head. There was no reason to talk to Yeon Ho-jeong anymore.
He turned his head and his eyes became cold.
‘Yeongaju. ‘You raised a monster.’
A favorite dog?
This is nonsense. Most likely, Yeongaju was hiding her eldest son’s tremendous talent for fear that it would become a disaster.
If Namgung-in was surprised by Yeon Ho-jeong, Yeon Wi was also surprised by Namgung-pyo.
‘That’s amazing.’
It was clear that he was the head of the Namgung family. There were rumors that he would soon follow in his father’s footsteps and inherit the family name.
‘He’s the same age as Irip Eogan and has that level of martial arts skills… He’s a genius.’
There was no need to do so, but Yeonwi compared Namgungpyo with the eldest son without realizing it.
‘….’
Yeonwi shook his head.
What was he thinking? Perhaps no one but himself would know.
“…hmm.”
Namgoongpyo let out a groan without realizing it.
His eyes were focused on Yeonhojeong.
‘What is this guy?’
Namgungpyo’s eyes trembled slightly.
‘You’re not inferior to me? ‘At that age?’
I heard that Yeon Ho-jeong’s age has now reached the age limit. In that case, he was ten years different from himself.
However, he still had that kind of prayer. The dangerous atmosphere was exquisite, as if I was watching a volcano about to explode.
‘Nonsense…’
It felt like my confidence and pride as a genius were completely shattered.
It was time for Namgoongpyo to open his mouth.
“It’s been a while.”
Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Nam Gung-hyeon.
Namgoong Hyun was trying hard to maintain a blank expression.
“I wanted to meet you in person and apologize, but I never got the chance. Now that we have met, I will apologize for what happened in the past.”
It doesn’t say clearly what’s going on. It wasn’t good to hear that people already knew each other a lot.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Nam Gung-hyeon, smiled and said.
“Is this a truly young apple?”
“…What do you mean?”
“It means there is no need to make an effort if you have no intention of apologizing.”
In an instant, the atmosphere of the group became cold.
Namgoonghyun’s expression hardened.
“If I didn’t want to apologize, I didn’t do it. “My apology is sincere.”
“okay?”
“exactly. “I’m the one who made the mistake, so I have nothing else to say, but at least don’t accuse me of lying.”
It was a statement full of sincerity. With his few words, sharp eyes turned to Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“Isn’t it true that it’s not a sale? “You don’t want to apologize to me.”
“Are you planning to insult me?”
“You’re depressed, aren’t you?”
“…?”
“I can see that you are being thoroughly suppressed by your brother’s energy. “I feel like I haven’t been able to open my mouth properly since I got here.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I don’t know if it’s your intention to imprint your presence or what, but please don’t use me for your desires. “Even if you apologize with such a rotten expression, no one will believe you.”
Namgoonghyun’s expression suddenly changed. And everyone who could see his expression could see it.
Namgung-in clicked his tongue.
“I think my son ruined the mood for no reason. “I apologize on behalf of my son.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“My son has very poor manners. “I also apologize.”
He said to Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Be careful.”
“All right.”
After saying those words, Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head away.
Namgoonghyeon’s face was distorted in a truly miserable way.
He was already on the verge of exploding his suppressed sense of entitlement. In the meantime, I ended up being humiliated by someone I absolutely disliked.
‘this…!’
I can’t control myself at all. I couldn’t stand it.
Tsutsutsutsu.
A subtle sense of death arose from Namgoonghyeon’s body as he glared at Yeonhojeong.
“…?!”
For a moment, everyone’s faces hardened. Except Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeonwi looked at Namgungin with sharp eyes.
Namgoongin shouted.
“What are you doing now! “Can’t you take your life right away?”
There was strong energy in that shout.
For a moment, Namgoong Hyun thought it was a mistake. The accumulated emotions exploded and I lost my life without even realizing it.
It was then.
Sigh!
Namgoonghyeon’s head suddenly turned. The slap was so strong that blood oozed from the corner of my mouth.
Namgoongpyo gave power to everyone.
“sorry. My younger brother recently suffered a serious heartache. That’s why mistakes are so common these days.”
Namgungpyo looked at Namgunghyeon with cold eyes.
Namgoonghyun gritted his teeth.
“Not long ago, I even experienced the early symptoms of hypochondria. “I brought him here to give him some air, but I think we made a mistake.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“If it’s an early symptom of japanese intoxication, it’s worth it. I understand.”
Namgungpyo looked at Yeonhojeong with grateful eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
“Don’t they say that making a mistake once is a fatal accident? “I completely understand, so I hope you don’t criticize me too much.”
“Thank you for your generosity.”
“Anyway, the atmosphere has become very strange. Rather than being forced to be together, how about we meet again at the Murim Alliance and have a cup of tea?”
“I think that would be good too.”
The two people saw Yeonwi and Namgungin.
The two matriarchs also nodded.
“That would be better.”
“Hehe, there is no shame.”
“If you do, we will go first.”
“I guess so.”
So the warriors of Yeonga increased their speed.
When the distance widened, Yeonwi said to Yeonhojeong.
“Good job.”
