Episode 185
In fact, the thread was not broken (3)
“It looks like everything has been sorted out.”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-woo looked around.
The battle that took place at the top of the Sea Dragon was quite rough and grueling. Countless buildings collapsed and the walls were broken in various places, turning into ruins.
The top, which had been so disorganized that not even ghosts would come near it, seemed to have been cleaned up quite a bit now.
Yeon Hojeong looked towards Tangmagun.
The Tangma army was scattered and resting. There was a dark atmosphere, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock of his colleague’s death.
“And then who is that person?”
“who?”
“Someone who will soon become Commander Moyong’s wife.”
Mo Yong-woo was embarrassed.
“Yeo Yeon-je!”
“There are a lot of eyes watching. “Be careful with your titles.”
“Ah…”
I was so embarrassed that I even forgot that there were a lot of people.
“I guess he didn’t get caught up in the battle and died?”
“A risk! “That’s not true.”
Mo Yong-woo pointed to one side. When I turned my gaze to the fingertips, I saw Tang Sang-Ah resting with the three female members of the Tangma Army.
A doubt appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“By the way, did you join that nobleman’s group?”
“That’s right.”
“why? “If you have that level of skill, you wouldn’t be short of a position as leader, right?”
“In a group war, poison and memorization can, in a sense, exert great power.”
“therefore.”
“However, if the person who handles poison and memorization is not poisonous, becoming a leader will only confuse the members under him.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“I thought I was a person who did it when I did it.”
“I’m the type of person who does it when it’s time to do it. However, the poisonous personality I am talking about refers to the poisonous nature of a leader.”
“It’s the poison of a leader.”
“My creed is that superiors should treat their subordinates as if they were family. However, for the sake of the mission, you must sometimes be able to calmly turn your head.”
Yeon Ho-jeong agreed with Mo Yong-woo’s words.
Turning your head does not mean giving up. This means that you must know how to send your subordinates on dangerous missions, and it also means that you should not neglect your mission because of worrying about your subordinates.
That was what Dang Sang-ah lacked. She was unusually affectionate for someone from a Tang family.
“Still, I survived somewhat well.”
“Because I’m strong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Still, I guess you’re proud that it’s mine?”
“Commander Yeo Yeon!”
“What do you think? “If you think he’s a good person, it’s okay to get close to him without thinking about what happens next.”
Mo Yong-woo cleared his throat.
“I’ll take care of that.”
In fact, the human mind is not something that can be moved by forcing it.
In the end, what matters is each other’s feelings. Yeon Ho-jeong created his own environment, but from then on, it was a problem that the two had to solve.
You don’t feel like it? Then you can end it there.
But what if you feel like it? From then on, you just have to approach it seriously.
“Yes, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out.”
Mo Yong-woo changed the subject.
“If it’s roughly finished, I’d like to move on. What do you think?”
“That’s for you, the master, to decide. “Didn’t you get a separate call from Meng?”
“Not yet.”
“After all, it hasn’t been long since the fight ended. “If I don’t hear from you, I guess I’ll just have to turn a blind eye like this.”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-wu, who was about to return to Tang Ma-jun, suddenly became concerned and asked.
“Commander Yeon.”
“why?”
“What’s going on?”
“What’s going on?”
I thought he was saying something pointless, but Mo Yong-woo soon made up his mind. Anyway, since we are sworn brothers, I thought there was no reason why we couldn’t ask this question.
“I think the atmosphere has changed a bit since I met Pasaruk.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled faintly.
“is it.”
“That’s right.”
“It’s no big deal. That guy is such a piece of trash. “I feel dirty just by looking at my face.”
It was a fairly harsh answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s speech was harsh. It wasn’t something that happened yesterday or today, but it seemed particularly sharp.
“What did he say? “What did you question him about?”
For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
‘Is it okay?’
It will be okay.
I don’t mind telling Mo Yong-woo all this.
Of course. Because Mo Yong-woo is not the kind of person who would betray someone who once trusted him.
However, the reason why there may be some hesitation is because it is a matter that must be approached with caution.
‘That too.’
Yeon Ho-jeong accepted it obediently. In addition to his anger toward the Three Religions, he is also nervous because their power is so great.
‘Actually, it wouldn’t be a big problem if I told my father by now.’
The reason I didn’t tell my father is obvious.
My father is a man who has no shortcomings as the head of a family. However, he was a person who considered caution as a virtue rather than boldness, and his attitude towards events was crucially different from his own.
No matter how talented a person is, they are bound to be embarrassed when they encounter an unknown enemy. And once you are embarrassed, you go through the incident in a way that is familiar to you rather than trusting others.
That’s why Yeon Ho-jeong hasn’t revealed everything to Yeon Wi yet. In the case of Moyonggun, he tried to attack this side first, so he was able to naturally form an adversarial relationship.
‘Maybe I can get some help after I tell you everything. Because it’s a common enemy. However, there is no need to say anything if there is a lot of potential for problems to occur.’
Whatever it is, it shouldn’t jump out. The Murim Alliance and the entire Jungwon Murim Federation.
Yeon Ho-jeong trusted his own judgment. Now is not the time to hastily talk about this.
but.
“I think I can talk to you.”
“hmm?”
“Because you are different from your father.”
It is not a difference in belief or ability, but a difference in inclination.
Although Mo Yong-woo is good, there is a part of him that is awake enough to hide his true feelings and fall under Mo Yong-gun. Moreover, the degree of reliance on Yeonhojeong was greater than that of Yeonwi.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
Yes, their movements have been clearly captured. If so, let’s talk to Mo Yong-woo.
Furthermore, to Full Sang.
“From now on, you must not tell anyone what I am saying. “I think it’s a top secret that only we know.”
* * *
“Heh heh heh.”
Moyong kept bursting into laughter.
“I guess there will be another day like this in my life. “I can’t believe the renowned Judges and Murim Alliance soldiers are visiting my residence in person.”
What was so funny was that the heartfelt cheerfulness was reflected in the hearty laughter.
Mo Yong asked with a smile.
“How can you have a drink while it’s still light? “We have quite good quality alcohol.”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“it’s okay. “It’s not something to talk about while drinking.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
This is not something to talk about while drinking. That seemed to mean that there was absolutely no intention to shake this side.
“I guess so. “Let’s have a cup of tea and talk about it.”
“Of course.”
Prince Moyong glanced at Yeonwi.
“Do you like Yongjeong, Lord Yeonga?”
Yeonwi answered in a stern voice.
“I’ve never drank it before.”
“Hehe, you must have amassed considerable wealth through maritime trade. Have you ever tried Yongjeong? “You sure are so easy-going.”
Although it was a serious statement, Yeonwi did not react.
Moyong-gun’s smile deepened.
‘It’s not normal after all.’
If it had been the Yeonwi of the past, it would have definitely reacted to this statement now.
Yeonwi did not know how to hide himself. He was the type of person who didn’t show it, but his thoughts were revealed to some extent in his facial expressions and eyes.
It was different now.
There is no wavering in the eyes or any disturbance in the posture. This means that you do not give a damn about what the other person says.
‘Is it because martial arts has improved?’
no.
Such changes cannot be achieved by developing martial arts.
‘Yes, it’s because of Yeonhojeong.’
Yes.
Yeonhojeong’s growth was truly explosive. But what is even scarier than that is that at that age, he shows political power comparable to that of Noh Kang-ho, who is said to be from the martial arts world.
When you reveal it, you show it off, and when you hide it, it’s insidious.
Many of Yeonhojeong’s political abilities would have been difficult to tolerate due to Yeonwi’s personality.
But Yeonhojeong did not change. Rather, it became more harsh and bolder.
And Yeonwi must have realized something as he saw such actions change the landscape of the Murim Alliance.
‘Abira growing up watching her son? her! They say learning doesn’t discriminate between time, person, and situation.’
Mr. Moyong internally complained.
‘They are a father and son who are troublesome in many ways.’
After a while, three cups of Yongjeongcha were placed on the data table.
Zhuge Liang was purely amazed.
“It smells really good.”
“Hehe, except for the top quality Yongjeong. “There is not much left, so you must eat it all without leaving a single drop behind.”
“I will drink well.”
Moyong asked after quenching his thirst with a sip of tea.
“So, why did you two head of the house come to visit this person?”
The Yeonwi spoke directly.
“I came here because something troublesome happened.”
“A headache? “Huh, what on earth would cause the Murim League vassals to be so troubled?”
He talks as if he is not Bonggong. He seemed to still be enjoying this situation.
Zhuge Wenhu said.
“I’ll tell you straight. “I have come to discuss the matter of Tuwang Yangcheon.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes suddenly changed.
Tuwang Yangcheon. It was a name that would be difficult for even the world’s greatest military commander to pass off as a joke.
“It’s Yangcheon… I don’t know the exact details, but if such a personnel matter were involved, it would be a headache.”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s hear it first.”
Zhuge Wenhu explained the current situation in Yangcheon coherently.
Mo Yong-gun said after hearing his entire explanation.
“In other words, we are in a situation where we need to properly investigate him. “If we get caught, no matter how we react, it could pose a huge threat to this side in the future?”
“To be precise, I think it could be a problem for the entire Moorim community.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“Yangcheon is definitely other than a monster. That’s not all. “It can be said that all of those whose names are listed on the Thirteenth Place of Heaven are monsters.”
“That’s right. So that’s the problem.”
“Moreover, his personality is harsh and cruel, and once he has a grudge against him, he is so vicious that he will pursue him until he dies?”
“If I didn’t have that kind of personality, I wouldn’t have struggled this much.”
“Hehe, I guess that’s right.”
Yeonwi, who had been quiet, intervened.
“Actually, there are many different ways. However, no matter what method you use, there will be a lot of casualties, and if Yangcheon goes into hiding, it will be even more troublesome.”
“I guess so.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“Wouldn’t you rather have called a public meeting?”
“You couldn’t do that.”
“Why is that?”
Yeonwi answered in a characteristically stiff tone.
“It’s because I don’t think it’s an issue worthy of the Moyong family’s party members muddying the waters.”
Zhuge Wenhu looked at Yan Wei in confusion.
On the other hand, Prince Moyong showed no signs of embarrassment at all. In fact, he even readily admitted it.
“I guess so. “As expected, you two are not ordinary either.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“So you came here to borrow this man’s quill bag?”
“exactly. Even if the Moyong family acquires great power in the future, Yangcheon’s troubles will not disappear.”
“Hehehe!”
Mo Yong laughed out loud.
“I feel good just listening to it. Yes, I guess so. So to speak, Yangcheon becomes our common enemy.”
“It’s similar.”
“Well, let’s find out about Yangcheon…”
Prince Moyong, who was lost in thought for a moment, tilted his head.
“I don’t know why you’re worried?”
The two people were inwardly surprised.
“Since we are investigating such a high-profile figure, it is inevitable that there will be casualties. The important thing is not to get caught.”
Moyong grinned.
“Wouldn’t it be enough to make the other person misunderstand that it wasn’t ours?”
