Episode 212
False King (6)
“I see you, my lord.”
“Are you here?”
Yang Chen asked as he looked at the black sheep bowing to the flatfoot.
“I heard about it. “You blew up the Gwicheolgeommun Gate?”
“That’s right. But…”
“They say they missed one heir and a few small children.”
The black sheep lowered his head.
“There is no shame.”
The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth rose.
‘He’s definitely a good guy.’
He even received a report on the reason why the black sheep missed the successor to Guicheommun.
It had to be that way in the first place. This is because on the day that Black Sheep and his subordinates attacked Gwicheolgeommun, the heir to the sword gate was in a state of deep mountain training.
That was a fact that even the traitor on the prosecution side did not know. In this case, it was a matter of punishing the traitor, not something to say to the black sheep.
In other words, even though he could make a sufficient excuse, the black sheep simply bowed his head and said he was sorry.
It’s not a bad disposition. If the black sheep had not been loyal to the religion, it would have been greatly harmed. Maybe he would have made him sit at his right hand along with the white paper.
“We are currently organizing a chase team to track down the successor.”
“I heard that the successor to Gwicheolgeommun is quite skilled in martial arts.”
It is not easy for an expert like Yangcheon to know the martial arts level of a young Shinjin. These words clearly revealed how much information and knowledge he had acquired in order to unite the Black Island.
“According to the chase team’s report, it is no exaggeration to say that they were able to form a family.”
“Hoo?”
If the target was missed, it was common to report the target’s ability down. This is because you have to reassure your superiors.
In that respect, Black Sheep was truly an unusual person. It was never easy to report the facts as they were revealed calmly and objectively.
The corners of Yang Cheon’s mouth drew an arc once again.
“Can you catch it?”
The black sheep responded immediately.
“You can catch it.”
The answer comes right away.
Since an objective report was conducted first, the confident answer alone is trustworthy.
Yang Chen nodded.
“Gwicheol Geommun is the Bangpa where you can hear the sound of Heukdo Jeil Geommun. “It would have been nice if the work had been completed all at once, but I know that it was not easy to do so.”
“I’m sorry.”
“What did you say the heir’s name was?”
“It’s called Gangryang.”
“Yes, Gangryang. I heard that he was as bold in character as he was in martial arts. “It may be an unexpected variable, so make sure to catch it.”
“I accept your orders, my lord.”
Normally, when the conversation progressed to this point, it was normal to ask people to leave.
However, Yang Chen did not say anything, so the black sheep had no choice but to remain in that position. I couldn’t leave even though I wasn’t told to leave.
After such a short silence.
“black sheep.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you remember? “Not long after I founded the Mukryongbu, when you came to me with a lot of treasures sent from outside the country.”
The black sheep’s eyes lit up.
“I remember.”
“It was truly amazing. “I heard that they would provide help, but I had no idea that they would provide that much money and talent.”
“….”
“Do you even know? “Among the countless riches and information you brought with you at that time, there was also advice on the Mukryongbu’s organizational system.”
“…I didn’t know that.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
There was a cool feeling in Yang Chen’s eyes. The black sheep lowering its head had a very cold and harsh gaze that could not be seen.
“Please continue to work hard in the future.”
“of course.”
“Just go out and have a look.”
“yes.”
The black sheep bowed once and left the Inkryongjeon.
A cold smile appeared on Yang Chen’s lips.
“In order to take control of the world, it is difficult to defeat someone who uses medicine even if his appearance is somewhat bad.”
Yang Cheon liked talents who crossed the line, but on the contrary, it meant that he himself could not easily cross the line.
Because it is not a field they are good at, they have reservations about it, so they are looking for such talented people.
But Yangcheon only now realized that fact.
‘It’s a world where it’s hard to get anything right without getting your hands dirty.’
Saeum black sheep treasure.
The intense malice hidden behind those gifts.
“affection.”
Yang Chen smiled.
“If you were also a poisoned dagger sent by some kind of organization, then you wouldn’t be able to imagine how I would come out.”
* * *
“Huh.”
Prince Moyong stuck out his tongue.
“That such a reckless method worked?”
“exactly.”
Mo Yong-gun, who heard the story from Yeon Ho-jeong, could not help but be impressed.
‘It was so simple to move and get in.’
A new Black Island Alliance led by Tuwang Yangcheon.
If you ask what method should be used to infiltrate there, it is bound to be difficult to think of an effective method right away.
But Moyong-gun was different. He liked to change his ideas and believed that all he had to do was to somehow penetrate into the heart of the enemy and hide his membership in the Murim Alliance.
It was a simple but effective move. The problem was difficulty.
Dispatch of Sejak in a situation where you do not know anything such as where the enemy camp is located, how many soldiers are encamped, how tight the security is, etc., is likely to commit the mistake of tachosugyeong.
However, given enough time, there is a way to safely dispatch. Prince Moyong had no doubts about it.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong stepped forward.
And the result was revealed like this.
“After capturing the enemy’s interest and imprinting their presence, we opened a path straight to the upper level…”
It’s simple. It was so simple that it was shocking.
But that simple move worked so well.
“You always surprise me.”
“Anyone can do it if they put their mind to it. “It’s just a matter of whether you make up your mind or not.”
“Of course, that too. But there’s one more thing.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
“It is also a method that cannot be easily attempted if you do not know much about the black sword.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Since when? “I turned my eyes to the black road.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Is it a scam? “Based on the report delivered to you and the series of situations we have just heard about, it appears that you know the Black Island very well.”
“People’s lives are all there and everything else. In fact, Hugae probably knows more about the Black Island than I do.”
“There is a clear difference between knowing and feeling.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Don’t waste your energy on unnecessary doubts. “I just looked into the essence of people, and I don’t know particularly well about the dark path.”
The corners of Moyong’s mouth rose.
“is it.”
This time, it was difficult for Moyong-gun to read Yeonhojeong’s intentions. As Yeon Ho-jeong said, Full-sang would know more about the dark island, and given Yeon Ho-jeong’s abilities from what he had seen so far, this infiltration battle was not that strange.
the problem is.
‘I understood it in my head, but I just couldn’t ignore it.’
There is definitely something there. This guy proceeded with his work with confidence in something he had not told himself.
And that’s probably something even the working group members don’t know.
“Just ask one more question.”
“I didn’t come here to be interrogated.”
“As for the black sword, that’s okay.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes gave off a menacing glow.
“Do you even know about Yangcheon?”
“Is there a martial artist who doesn’t know Yangcheon?”
“You probably don’t know what I mean.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“That too is a useless doubt. I know my worth. It is obvious that the newly established Black Island Alliance will suffer from a lack of talent. It is natural to be cautious and interested when a talent of my level comes in.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“You never said you had any doubts?”
“Are you blindfolded?”
“Hehehe.”
Mr. Moyong, who burst into laughter, shook his head and said.
“Good. “I think we’ve talked about the past enough, so let’s talk about the future.”
“What information do you want from higher-ups?”
“hmm? You already know that, right? “You wouldn’t have come all the way to Ye without knowing that?”
“We need to find out everything, including Yang Cheon’s target and his helpers, the actual power of the Ink Dragon Club, etc.”
“Yes, I know very well.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Is that really all?”
Moyong-gun shrugged his shoulders.
“If I could get any other information, that would also be good.”
“Hmm.”
“As you said, Meng wants all information about Yangcheon. Of course, so do I. “If there is a corner that needs to be looked at in more detail, I will tell you then.”
“I understand.”
“So what are you going to do from now on?”
“How can I do it? “You should become his confidant.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
“I expected you would choose that path.”
“I thought so.”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
A serious look appeared on Mo Yong-gun’s face.
“Whatever the reason, you are the commander of the Murim Alliance’s army of mortals. “It means that seizing is not your main job.”
“I know.”
“Yang Chen is not a fool, so he wouldn’t shake hands with Shin Jin (新進) as his confidant. “I will continue to observe you and assign you tasks one by one.”
“I guess so.”
“In other words, it will take at least a year or two for you to become Yang Cheon’s true confidant.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
“That is absolutely impossible. “I’m in a political fight with you, but that’s not okay.”
A plan to send political opponents to outside forces to kill them?
It’s not a bad method. However, if it is someone like Yang Cheon, it is a different story.
Yangcheon is even rallying the black swords. The enemy of white is black, and black is also looking forward to surpassing white. In such a situation, send someone from Baekdo’s side to die at the hands of the other party? This was a matter of pride.
Go one step further.
‘This guy doesn’t know what to do in a crisis.’
It’s unlikely, but what if Yeon Ho-jeong decides to take the black sword and shake it?
‘If that happens, my headache won’t be so bad.’
Is it too much of a leap? Absolutely not.
The Yeon Ho-jeong that Mo Yong-gun saw was someone who had no limits. I don’t know if it’s his nature or because he’s young, but if he decides to do it, he’ll become a monster that runs rampant.
You can’t let a guy like that die in the opposing camp. Even if you die, you must die within the Baekdo martial forest.
That was Moyonggun’s idea.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I, too, am not prepared to rot under him for years. of course. “It’s not like we’re trying to devour the Black Island, but it’s absurd to let it rot for several years just to get some information.”
Moyong flinched at the mention of swallowing up the black sword.
“What are you going to do if I do that?”
“You said he was a confidant, but I should say it’s more like a business partner.”
“fellow trader?”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I don’t plan on blaming this side just because we want something, but I think we have to make some sacrifices to get it as quickly as possible.”
“I agree with that.”
“So, I’m thinking of looking into this and that based on our information.”
Mo Yong-gun’s face hardened.
“Are you saying you’re going to leak Maeng’s information?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“I could do that if the commander gives me permission, but I really have no intention of doing that.”
“if?”
“I want manipulated information.”
“Operation?”
Prince Moyong, who was quietly looking at him, spoke in a heavy voice.
“Let’s hear it first.”
Yeon Ho-jeong told me his plan.
And when he finished speaking, Mo Yong-gun couldn’t help but nod.
“Will it work?”
“We have to make it work. “Whether this works or not depends on your ability as the leader rather than my efforts.”
“….”
“Can you do it?”
Prince Moyong smiled coolly.
“That’s fun. Let’s give it a try.”
