Episode 228
Return of the King (3)
Prince Moyong’s face hardened.
It was a name I never thought would come out of the mouth of Paeyul, the elder of Jeomchang, at this point.
‘Can you believe it?’
He was truly embarrassed.
Mong-ui was a fortune-telling master who had previously been sent by Prince Moyong to Yeonhojeong along with Salsu.
Of course, he was a fortune teller who was the equivalent of being excommunicated. He was an extremely corrupt person who killed Jang Mun-in and stole the Four Day Sword Technique, which was considered the best secret of Jeomchang, and ran away.
The problem is that before he came under Prince Moyong, he worked in the shadows as a member of a famous family.
Myeongga was declared a martial artist and all involved were punished. Even now, Meng’s prison was crowded with warriors from famous families.
In other words, Prince Moyong secretly stole people who deserved to be punished and made them his subordinates.
Moyong wasn’t the only one who did something like that. However, this was an issue that should never become a rumor, and if it became known to the outside world, not only Prince Moyong but all those involved could be punished.
‘Are you saying you’re going to come out like this every now and then?’
The reason why I had no worries about dreams.
That was because the matter was completed through a deal with Yeonhojeong. He would do anything to embarrass Yeon Ho-jeong, himself, or others, but he never brought up something that had already happened.
That was the unspoken rule, so to speak. The moment you break that rule, it turns into a real muddy fight.
“It’s a dream….”
“That’s right, a dream.”
Prince Moyong saw the look in Paeyul’s eyes.
It was burning as if it would explode at any moment, but the brilliant flame was maintained by reason as cold as ice.
‘Surprisingly.’
Although not in detail, we have already investigated the loss rate. It was natural since I was part of this mission.
‘Typical battle fanatic. ‘I heard he was a hot-headed person who didn’t like using his head.’
In other words, it is similar to the equipment that appears in Yanyi (演義). That’s definitely what I heard from the report.
‘What kind of guy is Yeon Ho-jeong that he would have put anyone under his command?’
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“know.”
Paeyul’s eyebrows twitched.
Mo Yong said with a nonchalant expression.
“So what does that mean?”
“Do you know that he is a disciple who was excommunicated from the headquarters of that guy in the dream?”
“I know that too.”
“Not only did he steal the best secret technique of the main mountain, he even killed Jang Mun-in and ran away.”
“What do you want to say?”
It’s so shameless.
Paeyul tried hard to suppress his surging spirit.
“Gupailbang and Yukdaesae are famous families who walk the hundred paths. “If you knew about him, you should have at least told the headquarters.”
Mo Yong smiled coldly.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t know at the time that he had been excommunicated. “I only heard about the situation late.”
“what?”
“Even if you knew, what would you say to me that my b*stard came to me first?”
Paeyul’s neck turned red.
“Are you really going to come out like that?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“You made me dream…!”
“And I will say something.”
Pajik!
The air became hot for an instant due to Mo Yong-gun’s lightning-like glare.
“I have no reason to question you. Besides, this is a public place. “My patience is quite deep, but don’t think that I will continue to watch as mere working-level members rise up.”
Don’t bother me with unnecessary words and get the main point out of the way.
Paeyul, who was quietly glaring at Moyong, spoke bitterly.
“The leader’s inauguration as head of the intelligence department is in two days. The time taken to steal information is ten to fifteen days. “This is a message telling you to heat the inkryongbu well inside it.”
“Is that all?”
“….”
“I understand. “Let’s go now.”
Paeyul stood up and opened his mouth.
“This is all the public message is. And he asked me to tell you this as well.”
“You tell me.”
“I will tell it as it is. ‘You are the one who crossed the line first, so this is like a declaration of war. I have seen your courage in turning a crisis into an opportunity, so now watch carefully what I will do.’”
“….”
“This is the end of the message.”
After saying those words, Paeyul left the room. It felt like I was really going to pull out my sword any longer.
Moyong, who was left alone, looked at the window.
“You crossed the line?”
The corner of Moyong’s mouth twitched.
“Aren’t you living too soft? “You can’t say you’ve crossed the line to this extent.”
An act of annihilating the commercial dynasty of Gwiju Chamber of Commerce and erasing one’s own shame from the world.
Fools who talk about morality and ethics but don’t even know how the world works can get angry and argue that they should stand up right away.
But it wasn’t Yeonhojeong. I thought he would be angry, but I didn’t know he would cross the line with something like this.
“Don’t wear a mask that doesn’t suit you, Hojeong. “Aren’t you a person who can be a hundred times more terrible than this?”
That was the reason why Prince Moyong highly regarded Yeonhojeong.
He was flexible enough to set aside morals and ethics when necessary.
That’s why he’s so amazing and dangerous. This is because there are less than a handful of people in the vast world who can choose a reckless option at a critical moment.
“But…”
Moyong smiled bitterly.
“You were really quick to notice. “I think you can see why I moved this way just by looking at the series of steps.”
Turning a crisis into an opportunity?
This meant that he personally guessed why he came to Honam.
‘You don’t know what I’m planning. But now that I know why I did it, I will respond in some way.’
In an instant, Prince Moyong’s face was colored with intense murder.
“…If you keep showing up like this, I could really bury you here.”
You probably won’t stimulate yourself any more than this. He himself would not provoke him further.
However, since he spoke of declaring war and said that he too would go on a rampage, he was most likely planning to sharpen his sharp dagger.
‘You won’t be able to touch Gwiju Store.’
He knows that the Gwiju Chamber of Commerce is dead.
But Prince Moyong was confident. Yeon Ho-jeong won’t bring up that part and shake it.
The truth is that it was a work that was manipulated by the commanding officer without the working team’s knowledge, but in any case, the entire working team was caught up in it. Whether for the sake of the Murim Alliance or for Yeon-ga, Yeon Ho-jeong can never bring it up.
‘then?’
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“Unleaded.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
“Tell Jeongju. It is said that the Mukryongbu’s intelligence department may raid the main house. “Tell them to prepare in advance.”
“I follow your orders.”
* * *
My throat felt like it was burning after a glass of strong white liquor.
‘Moyong-gun.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, glaring at the glass with cold eyes, was bloodier than ever.
Full-sang and Dang-sang looked at him for no reason. This was my first time seeing Yeon Ho-jeong with such a creepy face.
As I filled the glass again and emptied it, the back of my neck turned red. The idea is not to suppress the energy through internal energy.
‘I know it hurts, but this time it was a bit too much.’
Not only has he eliminated his own shame with this move, he may also be planning to gain the upper hand in transactions with Gwiju Trading Company.
Is this too much speculation? at all. Mr. Moyong was a decent human being.
‘I won’t stop you from increasing your power, but you shouldn’t play around like that.’
It has nothing to do with you?
Yes. If you think about it, you could just end it with a lot of swearing. It was as if they had been used by Prince Moyong, but they suffered no real damage as a result.
It’s okay to just bury it like this. Still, people won’t know.
However, the reason why Yeon Ho-jeong was so angry was because he was convinced that what Mo Yong-gun had done this time was only the beginning.
Gwiju Store? At first, that’s it, but later it will go beyond the Murim Alliance and involve civilians who have nothing to do with this fight.
No, it is no different from having already been dragged in. It was clear that the shadow warriors who were set up as executors probably had families, and that those families were held hostage by the Moyong family.
It wasn’t a fight that depended on the fate of the entire central plain, and not only did he kill people for his own personal gain, but he also touched the common people.
Yeon Ho-jeong could not forgive Mo Yong-gun like that.
‘Even beasts hunt, but they never trample on flowers. ‘You’ve even turned over a flower garden that has nothing to do with it.’
I would rather say it went well.
After focusing on the Mortal Army, there was a feeling that the tension towards the Murong Army had eased somewhat.
With this move, Mr. Moyong once again realized how dangerous he can be.
‘I’ll show you the fight of the Lord of Darkness, Emperor Heukam, not the human Yeonhojeong.’
I won’t treat you soft anymore. Yeon Ho-jeong promised again and again.
At that time, Full Sang filled his cup.
“Hehe hum! “This person doesn’t even have snacks.”
“….”
“Please make an impression. How can this be so cruel that I can live with it? “I keep trying to pee.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed softly.
“I’m sorry.”
“no. “There is nothing to be sorry about.”
Full-sang quenched his appetite.
“That b*tch was a bit harsh this time.”
Yeon Ho-jeong burst out laughing without realizing it. Probably the only person in the world who would say that about Mo Yong-gun is Gaeun-sang.
“But that doesn’t mean we can’t catch and kill him right away. What that b*stard did deserves to be condemned, but unfortunately we are off duty. “Even if you want to hit the back of your head, it’s going to be difficult right now.”
Do not forget your duty.
Full-sang’s words contained that meaning. And Yeon Ho-jeong also agreed.
“I’m sorry. “I made you worry for no reason.”
“I said it’s okay. That’s not to say that when I first heard about it, I thought the top was going to turn over. “I’m actually grateful that you took all the anger out on me.”
A look of bitterness appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“It’s my fault. “I knew that person would do tricks, but I thought he wouldn’t cross the line this time since it could be said to be a community of destiny.”
“I wanted to believe that I wouldn’t cross the line.”
“Yes, that is correct.”
Full Sang sighed.
“I’m sorry, but what can you do? “I don’t want to say this, but even if we had known about it in advance, it would have been difficult to prevent it.”
That was correct. In the first place, it was not an issue that could be handled here.
“The only thing we can do is break that crazy guy’s leg club so he can’t do something like that again.”
“Right.”
“Cheer up. The mission isn’t over yet. “Let’s be more nervous because it’s the last time.”
“What Hu Kai said is correct.”
It was then.
“Aaaah! “We’ve finally arrived!”
It was a familiar voice.
Pusssss.
A strong scent suddenly emanated from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body. He had completely evaporated all the poison with the Blue Dragon.
The group left the room and headed to the yard.
There were two men and a woman who opened the front door and came in. One of them was Zhuge Yan and the other was a sturdy young man with his face covered in blood.
Slurp.
Soon the young man revealed his face.
A somewhat devastated face. The expression was full of confusion.
“Strength.”
“…See Eun-gong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to the guest hall with his chin.
“in.”
