Episode 270
Welcoming Guests (2)
“Is Commander Yeon here?”
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
“See you, soldier.”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.
“The heavens and earth shook. “I thought they were doing group training, but it seems that wasn’t the case.”
Because of his military position, his brain power was highlighted, and Zhuge Wenhu was also the head of a six-generation family. Jinba’s senses were very sensitive, as befits a transcendental expert.
“But what brought you here?”
“Hehe, please sit down for now.”
“yes.”
After a while, two cups of tea were placed on the table.
“I have something to talk with Commander Yeon. “A-yeon, please leave the room for a moment.”
Zhuge Zhenyan stuck out his mouth.
“I am also the military mountain of the Mortal Army.”
“Zinc.”
“Tsk, I get it.”
As soon as Jegal Zhen left, Yeon Ho Jeong quenched his appetite.
“Is it because of the Three Religions Incident?”
“We’ll talk about that later. “It’s an extremely serious matter, but at least it doesn’t look like they’ll invade the central plains right away.”
“That’s true.”
“This is why I came to see you today.”
Zhuge Wenhu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned after reading the first line of the letter.
“Western Goddess?”
“That’s right.”
“What is it? “What about this seemingly crude nickname?”
Zhuge Wenhu laughed without even realizing it.
“I’ve never thought about it before, but it certainly seems like you made it up roughly, just like you said.”
“That’s right.”
“The West Station Lady, as her nickname suggests, is a West Station woman. “You will find out why she was given the name ‘Shinnyeo’ when you read the letter further.”
After a while.
“Hoo.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled. It was a smile full of uniqueness.
“He is a righteous person who provides god-like medical techniques to the poor and sick for free… Isn’t that amazing?”
“yes? Even though she is from the West, no one ignores her thanks to her spirit of service and good character. No, if I had respected you, I would have respected you.”
“There is nothing more foolish than ignoring someone because their skin color is different.”
“Hehe, that’s true. In fact, they say that aside from all that, she has great beauty. “Is this one of the reasons why you can’t easily ignore it even if you want to?”
“Hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong put down the letter.
“But why did this amazing woman come to the Murim Alliance?”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“It’s not for some reason, but since the Murim Alliance was founded, I’ve sent people to invite you several times. But the priestess kept refusing, saying there were many patients she needed to take care of.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
When I hear stories from honest and good-natured people, I feel better. I liked the way people did things without worrying about what they couldn’t do and didn’t care about money or fame.
“Isn’t it true that you can’t force someone to come when they say they can’t come because of patients? So I kept waiting, and he recently said that he would accept Maeng’s invitation.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“But why did you invite this person? Of course, it is not strange to worship him once because he is a rare good man, but after listening to him, it seems like he has a separate purpose.”
“Hehe, you’re sharp after all.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes became serious.
“I plan to create a parliamentary organization within the Murim Alliance.”
“Are you saying you’re building a military unit belonging to the Murim Alliance?”
“It would be a bit harsh to call it a clothing room. Because it’s a broader concept than that. But that isn’t wrong either.”
“Hmm.”
“The world is rough. Conflicts and fights occur frequently. And at the center of that world is the Murimmaeng. “In the future, countless warriors belonging to the Murim League will be injured, so we can’t keep the lawmakers on the lookout forever.”
“But isn’t there already a similar group in the Murim Alliance?”
“Of course there is. They are all very capable lawmakers. But they are just contractors. “When the contract ends, we have to either extend it or recruit other lawmakers.”
“So, the idea is to create an organization affiliated with the Murim Alliance.”
“That’s right. “On this point, everyone agreed unanimously.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“The blacksmith and the doctor are a warrior’s closest friends. However, they are creating a separate Uibang belonging to the Murim Alliance… This is a bit strange.”
“why? “Is there anything wrong with it?”
“It seems that the intention to not disband the Murim Alliance in the future is behind the plan to create an affiliated organization, rather than being caught.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes sparkled.
“I’m tired of admiring it any more. “Your insight is truly amazing, to delve into it so quickly.”
“You can keep praising me. “Now I’m used to it and it feels good.”
“Wow, this guy.”
“Cluck.”
“There were many Bonggong who expressed concerns about that. “I was one of them.”
“Well, for now, it’s important to reduce the immediate damage.”
“It was a good look.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s face became serious.
“The existence of the three religious religions. No one knows how great their power is. In that case, I think there is no harm in retaining as many talented lawmakers as possible before thinking about the future of the Murim Alliance.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
“By the way, you’re a Western Station Priestess… Is she a very famous person? “I’ve never heard of it before.”
“Everyone knows. Of course, people who aren’t interested in that area don’t know. “Actually, considering his skills and personality, I feel like he was buried too much.”
“yes?”
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
“Aren’t there bound to be factions everywhere? “It seems that her existence was a thorn in the eyes of those who continued the tradition of medicine in Jungwon.”
“omg.”
“It is said that the Western Region Goddess’s medical skills are a combination of the Western and Central Plains medical skills and are superior to those of any medical practitioner in the Central Plains. So, those who continued the line of medicine in Jungwon slandered her medical practice, calling it apostate.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“People who make it their business to fix people’s bodies are putting their energy into useless things.”
“That’s right. In any case, it is largely the fault of the members of the Central House of Representatives that her fame did not spread across the world.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“One way or another, the Murim Alliance couldn’t have ignored the opinions of the local lawmakers, but they thought of inviting the West Region priestess.”
“What is important to us is not tradition or money, but skill and character. Besides, the West Station priestess is young. “I thought it was perfect for growing up with many people.”
“good idea.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“So what am I to do?”
“You already guessed it, right?”
“Are you an escort?”
“That’s right.”
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
“As I said, the West Region priestess has many enemies. At the same time, there are many people targeting her. “No one has come forward so far, but if there is a rumor that she is coming to the Murim Alliance, I am afraid that the Mukryongbu or other groups may attack or kidnap her.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better to send people who specialize in covert maneuver? “I can bring you secretly, right?”
“What are you afraid of?”
“yes?”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“What is it that makes the world’s Murim Alliance move so secretly out of fear? Should we just send a capable person and bring him proudly?”
“Why are you so confident all of a sudden?”
“Hehe, this is what most of the Bonggongs think. Well, that’s not wrong either. “There are times when you have to move cautiously, but there are also times when you have to be bold, even if it means risking all sorts of trouble.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Do you want to show the power of the Murim Alliance through me?”
“It’s one of many reasons.”
“I’m not that strong.”
“That was the nastiest joke I’ve heard this year. Besides, what I want from you isn’t just ability.”
“sure?”
“Fame.”
“hmm.”
“The name value of Byeoksanhojang, which was at the peak of the late-period index of the time along with Geongonhojang Mo Yong-woo, is not that easy. “That reputation is already spreading throughout the central region.”
“I’m more annoyed. “I think there are a lot of people who will challenge me to check my skills.”
“Break everything and come back.”
“Don’t be so quick to say it’s someone else’s business.”
“Can’t you think of it as part of your training?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“Are all of the Mortal Army moving?”
“You can take care of that. “Whether you take only a small number of people or take the entire army.”
“What about departure?”
“I want you to leave within five days.”
“All right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“How is Moyong-gun these days?”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“It’s quiet. “He’s clearly bowing down because of what happened last time.”
“okay.”
“As you said, I am watching his every move. “If you notice any suspicious activity, please let me know right away.”
“thank you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was turning around, stopped when a sudden thought occurred to him.
“Sir.”
“hmm? why? Is there anything more to say?”
“This mission. “Is it okay to not be an army of mortals?”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Zhuge Munho’s face.
“You don’t have to be the Mortal Army? why? Do you want to be with someone else?”
“That’s right.”
“with who?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and opened his mouth.
Zhuge Wenho’s face hardened after hearing his words.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“They say the value of a name is important.”
“Of course, but… why?”
“I have some things to look into, so if nothing else happens, I’d like to join you. “Is that okay?”
“….”
“If you can’t decide, there’s nothing you can do.”
Zhuge Wenhu chuckled.
“I believe you have your own ideas.”
“thank you.”
“Thank you for your hard work this time too. “I’m sorry for entrusting you with this task even though it hasn’t been long since this difficult mission was completed.”
“Don’t say that. “I’m going out of my own will, not because the soldier told me to.”
“Heh, I understand. “I’m sure you’ll be busy, so just go and have a look.”
“By the way, soldier.”
“hmm?”
“Now that I think about it, this is the headquarters of the Army of Death. Why am I leaving?”
“…Kahahah!”
“Please take a look.”
“I’m sorry.”
Zhuge Wenhu was so embarrassed that he ran out in a huff.
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“If you look at that guy every once in a while, he’s really cute.”
* * *
“Hmm.”
“Gasp!”
Yeonwi stroked his chin and looked down at Kangryang.
“Your basic skills are definitely excellent. “With just that strong foundation, it’s no match for even a decent expert.”
“Cough! “Gasp!”
“But you are too honest. Honesty is a good virtue, but an overly honest attack will inevitably provide clues for a counterattack.”
Slurp.
The lead sword-faced Yeonwi raised Kang Ryang to his feet.
“omg! “I can wake up!”
“At times like this, you’re not being honest again. “If we had divided the sum even more, you would have fainted.”
I managed to get up with support, but my legs had no strength. Kang Ryang blushed with embarrassment.
“I have no shame, matriarch.”
“Hey, don’t say that. “It’s even more amazing that I’ve gritted my teeth and held on until now.”
Yeonwi sat Gangryang down on the table.
“Hmm, I don’t think there’s any need to supplement in terms of physical strength, and there’s nothing about the martial arts skills of Gwicheolgeommun that aren’t in season. “I could improve your martial arts skills, but in the current situation, I don’t need to…”
Yeonwi, who was tilting his head, suddenly felt a hint of popularity.
He smiled.
“I had a good idea.”
“Gasp! yes?”
After a while, Yeon Ho-jeong came into Pagungak.
“father.”
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
“I still have something to ask of you.”
“Which one?”
Yeonwi pointed to Kangryang with his chin.
“I think I need your help.”
Yeon Ho-jeong saw Kang Ryang. Anxiety spread across Kang Ryang’s face.
On the other hand, a wry smile spread across Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
If you pretend, you pretend. He was the one who immediately understood what his father wanted.
“Ho-oh, can you give me a taste before I go on a mission?”
