Episode 127
Baekdo Murim Alliance (2)
“Matriarch. Baekpungdanju (白風團主) is submitting an interim report.”
“You tell me.”
“Currently, among the nine factions, the scholars of Shaolin, Shaman, Hwasan, Jongnam, Cheongseong, and Ami Gong have gathered. Among the six generations, the main family and the Zhuge family are gathered together, and the Yan family and the Nangong family are close by. The Tang family says it will take quite some time.”
“Hmm, I see.”
“And…”
“I’ll see the rest in half a day. “You worked hard.”
“Oh yeah. All right.”
The presence of Baekpungdanju disappeared outside the door.
Moyong, who was sitting quietly looking at the other person, soon smiled.
“Do you enjoy drinking?”
“I have a drink every now and then.”
“Haha yeah. “Without seeing you, you have already become a man.”
Moyong looked out the window.
“The sun is still high in the sky, but I can’t drink hot tea when my brother and I haven’t seen each other in a long time. Would you like a drink?”
“great.”
“okay.”
Prince Moyong called Sibi and had him bring alcohol.
The Murim Alliance was huge. The scale was truly enormous, so much so that the Gupailbang and the Yukdaesae were each in charge of one region of the inner city.
The goal is to treat them well and have them act as guards at the same time. Considering the current situation and sentiment of Moorim, it was a reasonable arrangement.
Is that why? The shadow of Prince Moyong was already deeply cast over Tamranggak (貪狼閣), where the Moyong clan was located.
“I have something to talk about before the drinks come.”
“Please speak.”
“I heard you embarrassed Yeonhwa?”
The person who sat across from Prince Moyong.
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“I did.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
She is the daughter of the head of the family and the daughter of her older brother. To Mo Yong-woo, she is his niece.
Even if you don’t need to be scared, it’s normal to feel intimidated. However, Mo Yong-woo was very confident.
“How did you do that? Yeonhwa: That child is softer than I thought. “It seemed like he was very hurt.”
“Yeonhwa is not yet grown enough to be hurt by such verbal abuse.”
Do you see this guy?
There was a strange look of interest on Prince Moyong’s face.
The Mo Yong-woo he knew was not this kind of guy. He had a clear and delicate soul, so maybe he wasn’t the right child for him.
But looking at him now, he was very different from the younger brother he remembered from the past.
“Hehe, I see a new side of you today.”
“Is that so?”
“Well, what you say is correct. I didn’t raise Yeonhwa that child so weakly. Although I have a soft heart, I have thoroughly trained myself not to let that soft heart show. However, as you said, I think it’s still not enough.”
“yes. Yeonhwa is not enough. “We need to take time to regroup and work harder.”
“ha ha ha!”
Moyong-gun burst out laughing.
Why? I started laughing without realizing it.
Zhejiang is a beautiful region. Anyone born and raised in Jungwon dreams of settling down there.
However, if you consider the Mo Yong family as the main base, Mo Yong Woo was no different from being driven out to the outskirts.
The younger sister who had been kicked out was scolding her daughter for being weak and saying she needed to learn more.
That fact was strangely amusing.
“That’s interesting. It’s really fun. “A lot of things have happened recently, but I never thought the day would come when I would have this conversation with you.”
“….”
“When I received the letter saying that the Zhejiang business would be doubled, I expected something big to change in your mind. “But seeing as you came here, it looks like you made a big decision that I didn’t know about.”
“I made the right decision. “A determination that will never waver.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
At that time, a dispute broke out over drinks.
“It’s Dugangju (杜康酒). Have you ever drank it?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“It suited my taste well. Even though the fermentation period is short, it has a decent taste. “I don’t know what it is like for you.”
When Mo Yong-gun picked up the bottle, Mo Yong-woo politely raised his glass.
“Now that I think about it, this is my first time. Pouring you a drink.”
Grumble.
A spicy scent instantly enveloped the room.
“Now, let’s take the cup our youngest gives us.”
Mo Yong-woo filled Mo Yong-gun’s cup.
“Let’s have a drink.”
“Before that, I have something to tell you.”
“hmm?”
Mo Yong-gun put down his glass.
“I was going to start after having a drink.”
“We were brothers, but in some ways we were worse than others. And I don’t carelessly share a glass with someone I’m not acquainted with.”
“…haha.”
“I’m here to change that relationship. “I will empty this cup after I finish speaking.”
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“good night. “Tell me.”
“I’ll tell you straight.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes flashed.
Those eyes shining with strong will made Moyonggun’s heart pound.
“I want to check with you to see if the path you are taking is the right one.”
“hmm?”
“My older brother surpassed my eldest brother and became the head of the main family. “Two of my brothers died, and the rest, except me, shared the same cause as you.”
“It did.”
“Let me be clear. “I think your path is wrong.”
“Know.”
“Your method is too dangerous. Furthermore, it is not the right way. So, I don’t think your path is right. As a result, many innocent people died.”
Moyong just smiled.
Mo Yong-woo continued.
“But you didn’t cut me.”
“Because you didn’t attack me.”
“And there’s a reason why I was a useful person.”
“Haha, I enjoyed it.”
“I thought about it while taking charge of Zhejiang. Brother, why are you walking down such a path? “Why are we walking down a dangerous path under the guise of the right path?”
“….”
“After seeing the past and present of my family, I was finally able to be sure of what my brother wanted.”
“What do you think I want?”
“It is to make the Murim Lord and the Mo Yong family the best in the world.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
Mo Yong-woo continued speaking in a calm voice.
“I know that my brother is a person who will not hesitate to commit vicious acts to become the best. No, that’s just what I thought. However, I never thought that my brother had a specific goal.”
“Huh.”
“I understand now. “Brother, you want to become a Murim lord, advance through the Baekdo Murim, and reign as the emperor of the Central Plains Murim.”
“…It’s amazing.”
Prince Moyong spoke as if he was sincerely impressed.
“Until now, only one person has seen through my dream. “As of today, we become two.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. “I have never told anyone about my dream except Yeonhwa and some of my closest associates.”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“You’ll know even if I don’t tell you.”
“Absolutely not. “It would be difficult to reach such a conclusion without reading all of my tendencies, Mo Yongga’s actions, and the flow of the world.”
Mo Yong was truly impressed.
“I knew you were one of the greatest talents in the world, but I didn’t know you had such great insight. “It is truly amazing.”
There was only one person he praised this much. I could see how surprised Moyong was.
“Yes, you knew that my goal was to become the Murim Lord and lead the Moyong family to the top of the world. So what change did it make in your heart?”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes deepened.
“I am prepared to step into the mud.”
“hmm?”
“I hate sacrificing the small for the big. But I can’t stop you. Probably no one can stop it.”
“Hehehe.”
“Then I have only one choice.”
Tsutsutsu.
A terrifying energy wave emanated from Mo Yong-wu’s body.
“To help you sit on the throne as soon as possible.”
Moyong-gun’s eyes widened.
I had secretly expected that he had come to hold hands with me, but I never thought he would say something like that.
“Are you going to make me sit on the throne?”
“I will sacrifice my life to help you stand at the top of the martial arts world so that you can become the most powerful person in martial arts.”
“Hehehehehehe!”
“If you promise me two things.”
“promise?”
“yes.”
“What kind of promise do you mean?”
Mo Yong-woo clenched his fist.
“I believe that the reason your brother chose to take a ruthless course is not only because of his own desire for power, but also because he has a secret plan to bring peace to all people in the future.”
“…!”
“When you become the Murim Lord, then please do your best for the world.”
Moyong’s mouth slowly opened.
“You really decided to surprise me.”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“You must never stray. You must become a ruler full of benevolence and righteousness. “If you don’t promise me that, I will end my life in the mountains and fields.”
Moyong, who was looking at his younger brother with a surprised face, suddenly became curious and asked.
“What is another promise?”
“Give me the family crest.”
“What?”
“Brother, if you become the Murim lord, please give me Moyongga. I will lead the Moyong family to live up to its name of being the best in the world. “We will carve it thoroughly and turn it into a work of art that will last for generations to come.”
Mo Yong-woo took a deep breath.
However, his eyes as he looked at Prince Moyong did not waver at all.
“If you promise me those two things, from today onwards I will become your person.”
“….”
“No matter what harsh task you give me, I will follow it without a word. If your heart is shaken, you must take care not to shake it. “I think that’s also a growing pain.”
“…How come?”
Mo Yong-gun asked seriously.
“How did you come to have such feelings? “Is it because you knew my dream?”
“It’s one of several reasons.”
“What is the decisive reason?”
“Because I am different from you.”
“what?”
“Unlike my brother, I cannot sever my ties with blood relatives until the moment I die. In that case, I have no choice but to help my relatives achieve their dreams and then go my own way.”
Mo Yong-woo bowed his head.
“I held on for over ten years, but there was no victory in sight.”
“….”
“I lost.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes twinkled widely.
“Wow.”
He grabbed Mo Yong-woo’s hands.
Mo Yong-woo felt like he was crying. My brother’s hand, which I hold for the first time in twenty years, has become much rougher in that time.
Prince Moyong said with an expression full of emotion.
“thanks. thank you so much.”
“…don’t say that. “I am a person who hates you.”
“You b*stard, you b*stard.”
Mo Yong-gun slapped Mo Yong-woo on the shoulder.
It was a fist that didn’t feel like it had any strength at all. That fist was filled with a turbulent heart.
“Thank you so much. Thank you so much.”
“Can you promise me something?”
“I promise. I will definitely do that. “Who would you not keep your promise to?”
Mo Yong-woo raised his glass.
“Have a drink.”
“Okay, let’s have a drink. No, let’s get drunk as much as we can today. Hello! “Bring your own drink!”
The brothers emptied their glasses.
The way they looked at each other was full of indescribable emotions. At least the feelings they showed for each other at this moment were sincere.
‘older brother.’
Mo Yong-woo closed his eyes.
‘I’m sorry, but I haven’t lost yet.’
