Episode 171
Tangma Destruction (1)
Moyonggun’s face was as cold as ice as he entered the residence.
Hogyeong asked cautiously.
“That head of the family…”
At that time, Prince Moyong raised his hand.
It was clear from his cold hand gestures that he wanted to be alone. Ho-kyung bowed his head and left the room.
So Moyong was left alone in the room.
The sight of him crossing his legs and tapping the table with his index finger was full of a strange sense of discomfort.
How long has it been?
For a moment, the corner of Moyong’s mouth twitched.
“Did you think I didn’t know?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes, looking up at the ceiling, were as fierce as those of an animal, and as deep and wise as those of an enlightened practitioner.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know that if you brought up the Zhuge family in front of me, you were manipulating me from behind?”
Moyong-gun was glaring into space with a cold smile and eyes a thousand times colder.
Soon he burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!!”
The laughter that erupted from the entire room filled me with a refreshing feeling.
“I really can’t match your skills. Indeed, this is a talent that Mo Yong-gun would want to get his hands on. “I kicked him out at the founding ceremony and then he immediately ripped out his hair.”
He’s a great guy.
Not only does he possess outstanding resourcefulness and outstanding political ability, he has now even touched the top leader of the Murim Alliance.
I wondered if there was such a person in the world. This is a method that anyone who is willing to risk their life for even the smallest thing, regardless of their ability, would even dare to try.
This isn’t distribution or anything. It’s just crazy.
‘It’s crazy, but the bigger problem is that you have enough courage to handle that madness.’
Even a decent genius would not dare to think of taking control of a great nation by using the heads of the six generations of higher-ranking families as shields.
‘But he does it.’
That is Yeonhojeong.
An insidious warrior disguised as a passionate warrior. In some ways, its harshness seems to be even greater than that of Sacheondanga.
‘I don’t know how long it’s been. There was a time when Prince Moyong was helplessly caught in an opponent’s trap.’
Did he take a beating from Yeon Ho-jeong and make him the leader of the independent Confucian army?
That’s not a big deal. Rather, didn’t they divide the Yu army units into two and create Mo Yong-woo’s position? The ability to turn a crisis into an opportunity is essential for a politician.
But this time there is no way.
‘We said we would take time to decide, but it seemed like the majority of Bonggong members already agreed.’
Now that the story is out, the position of vice leader will be pushed forward somehow.
Dispersing positions means sharing power. It is safe to say that there is no faction in the Baekdo political faction that welcomes the concentration of power.
It may take some time, but it will definitely pass. However, since two vice-major positions are too much, I will try to reduce them to one.
‘The important thing is the position itself of the deputy leader, which prevents the dictatorship of the leader. The purpose of offering two positions must have been to impress upon the importance of the position of vice-leader.’
Moyong’s cheek twitched.
‘Is this not Yeon Hao-jeong’s, but Zhuge Family’s plan?’
Zhuge Wenhu is a fox.
No one can ignore the words of Zhuge Li, who clearly revealed his presence by talking about the harsh laws of the past.
That’s why they kept talking about the strict campaign period. Even if it is a different matter, it would be difficult to deny it twice in a row.
Even more so if the person who raised the issue is an important member of the military and a military officer.
“That’s awesome.”
Moyong filed a complaint.
“It’s truly scary that a world-famous genius and an old strategist are joining hands. “I got a real kick out of it.”
However, there was one part that still left doubts.
“Why were you in a hurry?”
Clearly, Zhuge Wenhu predicted that he would bring forward the Feng Gong Conference. And on the spot, he tried to reveal details about the position of vice-lord.
‘Why?’
Whether it’s early or late, it’s just a day after all. Even if the meeting had been held on time, the outcome would not have been different.
Of course, it may have been to encourage caution by advancing the timing and to impress the importance of the vice-leader with a decisive move.
But is that really the end? Isn’t there a reason why they even mobilized Ami’s secular disciples to irritate this side?
‘…!!’
For a moment, Moyong’s eyes widened.
“you…?”
Yeonhojeong came to mind.
The expression of a genius is impressive, with eyes as sharp as blades and a face with thin lines like a monk’s.
“Did you use me to completely bring the Amifa long-winded incident into your ally?!”
Bok Ho-sae, along with the Shaolin shaman Jang Mun-in, is a person who places great value on chivalry.
It is impossible to attract such a person as an ally by any means. If you create a clear enemy and do not highlight the enemy’s viciousness, you will never be able to make him an ally.
“her! “This has been a double and triple hit.”
I knew that the decryption incident had gone to the other side, but I didn’t care because it wasn’t immediately important.
But now that I think about it, this is not normal. Even the public officials are well aware of the principles and morals of the Rehabilitation incident. In other words, the voice has a lot of power.
When good people are in power, the moment when they can become truly scary is when evil appears.
Yeon Hao-jeong and Zhuge Wenhu imprinted on Fu Hao-tae that Mo Yong-gun was evil.
“Faction fight… Was it to balance power?”
Mr. Moyong raised both his hands without realizing it.
“Hehe, it is a complete defeat without any doubt.”
I never imagined that I would be hit by a counterattack like this when I was caught off guard.
It was a dizzying day in many ways. Prince Moyong stayed in his living quarters and grumbled for a long time.
* * *
“So it is.”
“Yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong calmly drank tea.
Yeonwi, who was looking at her son without any change in his expression, asked vaguely.
“Did you say you were planning to turn it into a factional fight?”
“yes?”
“This is what led to the decryption incident.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious.
“There are at least four forces that have joined hands with Prince Moyong. That kind of power would be enough to change the agenda coming out of the Bonggong meeting to suit one’s taste.”
“hmm.”
“His ultimate goal is to become the Murim Lord. But countless people will be sacrificed in the process.”
“….”
“The people who will stand in the way of his future the most are me and a few others. But unfortunately, he is Duke Bong and I am just a general of the Yu army.”
“Since that part is in the head and you are in the extremities of the body, does this mean that you took measures in advance to prevent them from doing unnecessary things?”
“There is something like that. Above all, he is good at vicious politics. “There’s no guarantee that there won’t be another person like Mo Yong-gun in Bong-gong, right?”
“….”
“If you are a Black Island faction that reveres power, you may not know it, but the concentration of power in the White Island political faction will make many people unhappy. “No matter who becomes the leader, it is a good idea to create a position to prevent the leader’s extreme dictatorship.”
Yeonwi looked at her son with astonished eyes.
“This is truly amazing.”
“yes?”
“Sometimes when I talk to you, I wonder where on earth you developed such an outstanding insight. “It’s not like he’s shown such an amazing thing once or twice.”
Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.
“It’s just a minor trick.”
There are people everywhere who will do anything to gain power.
Yeonhojeong’s government was specialized in dealing with such people.
The means of conquering the Black Island was power, but in order to control the conquered Black Island, keen sense and insight were essential. As I dealt with countless people seeking the position of Lord of the Black Emperor, my insight into the essence naturally grew.
So he knew. In the end, the white island is no different from the black island, but it is just a world full of old things.
“Anyway, in this game, Moyong-gun got a solid blow without any counterattack. “I will be holding my breath for the time being.”
“I think so too.”
“Externally.”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“I don’t want to get caught up in the same category, but Mr. Moyong and I are the type of people who will definitely repay what has been done to them. “They may keep quiet from the front, but you never know what they’re planning behind the scenes.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“He could do that. But you and Mr. Moyong are different.”
It seemed like he wanted to make that part clear before being cautious about the future.
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“What if there is some resemblance? “I believe that even if your nature is the same, you can become a saint or a villain depending on the path you choose.”
Yeonwi smiled faintly.
“So which side do you think you are?”
“At least I don’t think it’s an adult at all. “My nature is quite timid.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious again.
“Anyway, if Mr. Moyong decides to do something secretly, there is no way to find out.”
“I guess so.”
“In the end, we have no choice but to be careful.”
Of course, if you go through Mo Yong-woo, you might be able to dig it up somehow.
But this time, Tangma’s army and Death’s army go out together. It would be impossible to find out through Mo Yong-woo, and even if he could find out, he had no choice but to be cautious.
This is because if you make a mistake, you may be exposed to a deadly gang named Mo Yong-woo.
‘There is a need to accept it to some extent. The problem is how to adjust the water level.’
It must be well coordinated. To prevent their intentions from being discovered, treat them like they are now, young enemies who are not easy to deal with.
Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t know. That Mr. Moyong cares about this much more than he thinks.
That was something that was difficult to understand no matter how good my eye was. For Yeon Ho-jeong, this response was as natural as breathing, but it was not for the other person.
You can guess it in your head, but you can’t feel it.
If that were a gap in Yeonhojeong, it would be a gap.
“Once we’ve reached this point, we won’t be able to move as hastily as before.”
“That’s right.”
“Don’t worry about this, just take care of yourself first. “Now there are only three days left until the expedition.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Do not worry.”
Even though I’m told not to worry, I can’t help but worry. It was a problem that had nothing to do with ability.
To Yeonwi, Yeonhojeong was a son. A child is still a child no matter how old he or she gets.
“There is no need to compete with Tang Ma. “Don’t argue about establishing a special skill even if you can handle it on your own.”
“All right.”
“Although he is a man from Moyong County, Commander Tangma’s character is very outstanding. “Exterminating the enemy is important, but the most important thing is to return safely, so let’s move while helping each other.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Still, Yeonwi seemed anxious and kept nagging Yeonhojeong affectionately for a long time.
He said that if you listen to good things too many times, you start to feel bad. However, Yeon Ho-jeong just liked her father’s nagging.
I wanted to hear this nagging for a long time to come, even after going through the troubles of the three schools.
Yeon Ho-jeong sincerely hoped so.
How much time has passed like that?
“…?!”
“….”
The rich man’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
‘What is this energy?’
At that time, a sonorous voice was heard from the gate in the distance.
“Amitabha Buddha. “Is Commander Yeon there?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was filled with surprise.
“Shaolin?!”
