Episode 265
Confession (3)
Boom!
“Okay, that’s it for today.”
The soldiers scattered everywhere quickly stood up and bowed their heads.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“Oh you too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was carrying Gwangryongbu, pointed to Pang Man-ho.
“Good luck.”
“Yes, brother.”
“It would be better to pay more attention to footwork.”
“Bobeop?”
“Your martial art is a martial art of strength. Now that the technique has become much lighter and faster, you also need to know how to apply weight. In order to pressure and crush your opponent, you must receive strength from the lower body. “You better pay attention.”
“All right. thank you.”
Next, Yeon Ho-jeong called Yeo-guk.
“Are you feeling unwell these days? “The speed of the sword has slowed slightly.”
“Recently, I have been obsessed with blunt swords. “If the speed of inspection has slowed down, I think that may have been the effect.”
“It is up to you to decide which martial arts you want to practice, but your practical skills should not be impaired. “Right now, the crackdown has slowed down, but over time, clear loopholes will be created.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“If you want to dig a little deeper into blunt sword skills, I recommend training in manual skills as well. If that is difficult, consider the hand that is not holding the sword as another sword. “That one recognition alone will be helpful enough.”
“thank you.”
“good.”
The last person to call was Song Yeon-kyung.
“Yeongyeong.”
“Yes, Commander.”
“The power of spearmanship is amazing. “I think we can move on to the next step soon.”
“Really?”
“But increased power inevitably leads to loss of delicacy. Amipa’s spear technique focuses on straight and powerful strikes, so you need to pay more attention to it. “The level of spearmanship has deepened, but if you cannot control your power, your comrade next to you may be injured.”
“ah…!”
“When it is difficult to control the true energy, it is good to practice alone. Try to control what you were swinging with both hands with one hand. Naturally, the strength and weakness of Jingi will be adjusted accordingly.”
“thank you.”
“However, controlling a heavy weapon with one hand can put a strain on the joints. “Travel in the morning and evening and give your joints plenty of care.”
“yes.”
“Yes, you had a hard time.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were sharp and accurate.
On the contrary, his advice was extremely flexible. He treated all soldiers the same, but when giving advice to an individual, he responded according to that person’s personality.
It’s a subtle difference, but that difference creates deeper trust. Yeonho-jeong, who was only accustomed to the radical methods of blackness, was now learning the importance of delicacy.
“Hwiyu.”
Zhuge Yan blew a soft whistle.
“Why are you like this today?”
“what?”
“You’re being particularly kind today, aren’t you? “What’s going on?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I’m naturally kind.”
“You’re laughing, you ugly b*stard.”
“The position is vacant.”
“You’re laughing, you evil person.”
“Ah-oh!”
Yeon Ho-jeong took off his crane and left.
Zhuge Yan shouted.
“Where? “I decided to take a look at the newly created attack formation!”
“I saw it earlier.”
“when!”
“I saw you while you were taking a break. It was okay. “The parts that need to be improved are written down in the tactical map, so you can refer to them.”
“100 million?!”
“I go first. And please stay silent today until the beginning of Yushi (酉時). “Father, please wait.”
With those words, Yeon Ho-jeong left the training hall.
Zhuge Yan looked at his retreating figure with a sullen expression on his face.
“What’s really going on?”
She looked back at Mukbi.
Mukbi, who was sitting and resting, blinked like a cow.
“why?”
“sister.”
“huh?”
“Is he deaf today?”
“no? “I didn’t say anything like that?”
“But why are you in such a hurry just because you’re busy?”
“I said I wanted to call you and your father and have something to talk about. Other than that, I don’t know?”
“What do you want to say?”
Zhuge Zhenyan scratched his head.
From what I heard, it seemed like it was a household chore. No matter how deep your friendship was, it was too rude to try to find out about household chores.
‘hmm.’
Zhuge Yan looked at Mo Fei again.
Mukbi shrank his neck for no reason.
“What’s wrong, little brother?”
“You are completely family. Family.”
“me? What family?”
“That guy’s family.”
“Yes, my father accepted me as a member of the family.”
“I know that.”
Zhuge Yan shook his head.
“Anyway, that family is a subject of study in many ways.”
I knew right away about how Mukbi became a member of Yeonga.
Yeonwi did not accept Mukbi as a member of the family because her martial skills were useful. He was his son’s friend, and he accepted him as a family member simply because he was not related to him.
It was a trust rarely seen in a tough powerhouse. Moreover, just by looking at the change in Mukbi’s personality, one could see how much the Yeon family cared for her.
‘That’s why he’s strong.’
Most of the martial arts factions are closed.
But Yeonga was not like that. Unlike other sects, they were quite open-minded.
If you are not strong, you will not be able to show such distribution. And because they showed such distribution, they had no choice but to become stronger.
“Now, let’s practice this formation after some discussion. Are you going to help me too?”
“of course.”
After returning to her residence, Yeon Ho-jeong washed herself clean and changed into her everyday clothes.
Hehehe.
It was like that during training, but the wind was particularly strong today. Even though the sun had not set yet, the darkness made it seem like it would snow soon.
“It’s jingle.”
There is no place he has not visited among all the regions of the central plains, but as the king of the Black Island, his base was the southern part of the central plains. And in the southern part of the central plains, there wasn’t much opportunity to see snow.
Daebyeolsan Mountain, where the Murimmaeng was located, was different. It really snowed every day, but once it started falling, it was normal for the snow to pile up to our knees.
“This is why I mostly avoid winter.”
Even when he was fighting against the Red Baekdo Murim as the lord of Heukje Castle, he avoided winter as much as possible.
It didn’t matter when I was on defense. However, as the offensive continued, the cold weather in the north hindered the soldiers.
Just because you’ve learned inner skills doesn’t mean you won’t get cold. Of course, there were many masters who had reached the level of invulnerability to cold and cold weather and could not tolerate heat or cold, but the majority could not.
For these people, the winter battle was too harsh.
“Now…”
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
“I’m tired of fighting. “I don’t know when this act of fighting will disappear.”
Perhaps, as long as humans live on this earth, there will never be an end to fighting and strife.
‘But at least I can end my fight.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes gave off a shimmering blue glow.
‘Maybe Yangcheon will start responding in earnest soon.’
He branded the black sheep as a traitor and locked him in his home. Yangcheon would also be suspicious of Saeumgyo and the entire Gwangshinsamgyo.
‘Saeumgyo planned to use Mukryongbu as a bridgehead in the central plains. However, since Yangcheon noticed, he indirectly prevented his trip to Jungwon.’
Grumbling.
When I thought of Saeumgyo, my spirit soared without my knowledge.
My heart became hot for an instant and blood flow accelerated. The pupils, which were once clear and deep, gradually turned red.
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
hook.
The burning fire soon quieted down.
The anger towards those guys will never fade for the rest of my life unless they disappear.
But it was possible to control that anger.
‘Now, all I have to do is store up all this anger that has lost its direction and let it out when I encounter those guys.’
When Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes again, his expression was extremely calm.
Hehehe.
The wind got stronger.
As time passed, thin snowflakes began to show the direction from which the wind was blowing.
Yeon Ho-jeong lit the candle on the table.
Huh.
The candle flame swayed precariously in the wind that shook the window.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at the candle, closed his eyes again.
His figure, sitting upright in a chair and closing his eyes, looked calm and solid, like a stone Buddha that would remain in its place even after a thousand years.
And time passed again.
“Did I come too quickly?”
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.
Before I knew it, Yeonwi had entered the room.
“Are you here?”
“OK.”
Yeonwi shook her shoulders.
“It’s snowing again. “It seems like there are more people coming than last year.”
“I will clean up the area around the dorm tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, please. “I have a meeting scheduled from early morning.”
Yeonwi sat across from Yeonhojeong.
He said curiously.
“What about Via?”
“I told you to come by Yushicho. “It will come soon.”
“okay.”
With that, the conversation stopped for a while.
The father and son sat across the candlelight and looked at each other in silence.
There was no wavering in Yeonwi’s eyes as she looked at Yeonhojeong. It was just infinitely clear and deep.
On the other hand, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes as he looked at Yeon Wi were just as deep, but they were constantly fluttering.
How much time has passed?
Yeonwi smiled and opened her mouth.
“A letter has arrived from Jipyeong.”
“Did you?”
“He said he would stop by Maeng soon.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“The distance is quite long, so I’m not sure if I’ll be okay alone.”
“A lot of time has passed without me knowing. “Isn’t Jipyeong turning eighteen when the years go by?”
“Has it happened already?”
Yeonwi clicked her tongue.
“It’s okay to forget your father’s age, but remember your brother’s age.”
“Why don’t you figure it out and grow up well?”
“Raising well and taking care of a child are two different things. “If this father dies in the future, won’t the two of you have to rely on each other to live together?”
“….”
“That’s why brothers are good. “Don’t regret it later and try to take care of them more when you can.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“OK.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Yeon-wi, opened her mouth.
“father.”
“Speak.”
“But don’t make it sound like you’re leaving right away.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“Where would I go because I’m so anxious, leaving you two who have so much to lack? “At least I will see my grandchildren get married.”
“Yes, if you look at that much, you can go.”
“This guy.”
“haha.”
At that time, I felt a ray of popularity.
“Bia is here.”
“Iknow, right.”
As soon as Yeon Ho-jeong finished answering, the door opened and silence came in.
“Wow, it’s so cold… Wow! Oh father?!”
“Are you here?”
“I’m sorry. “I’m very late, right?”
“It’s too late. I came too quickly. And what if it’s late? “It can happen if you’re busy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a low voice.
“I guess he wasn’t busy.”
Mukbi opened his eyes and glared at Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head and whistled.
Yeonwi chuckled.
“Sit down.”
“Ah yes!”
Mukbi sat down on the chair.
Yeonwi and Yeonhojeong shook the snow off her shoulders as if they had been waiting for her. Mukbi’s face turned red.
“It’s okay…”
Yeonwi said nothing.
Yeon Ho-jeong clicked his tongue.
“Just shake it off a little bit and come in. “It’s so f*cking stupid.”
Mukbi glared at Yeonhojeong again.
The look in his eyes was so fierce that Gwangryongbu could not compete with him. Yeon Ho-jeong quickly turned his head.
Yeonwi looked at Yeonhojeong.
“It seems like everyone who needs to gather has gathered. “I asked the soldier Zhuge earlier, and he said to come after one o’clock?”
“That’s right.”
“I guess we have something else to talk about.”
“yes.”
“I guess I called you to tell you a secret you haven’t told me before?”
“Not anymore.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.
“I won’t keep it a secret any longer. Starting today.”
