Episode 279
Where does conflict come from? (4)
“Hmm, the tea tastes very good.”
Prince Moyong smiled and savored the tea.
“It definitely seems different. “Maybe it’s because the congressman personally drinks the tea, but just smelling the scent makes my blood feel purified.”
“Hehe, I’m embarrassed.”
“So why did you call this man?”
Hagok waved his hand.
“How can I tell Master Moyong to come and go? “I just invited you because I wanted to treat you to a cup of good tea.”
“Hehehe!”
Mr. Moyong, who was laughing out loud, soon spoke with a smile on his face.
“Rep. Ha.”
“Please speak, matriarch.”
“Let’s put aside unnecessary formalities and trivial details and talk.”
“….”
“Me too, but Rep. Ha also looks very busy. If you have something to say, let’s get to the point first, and if you need to jump on the abacus, let’s get ready right away.”
Hagok thought. He said he chose people well.
I heard that, contrary to what is known to the world, Prince Moyong is a man who will do anything to gain power. He also said that he had no qualms about giving or receiving bribes.
Of course, this information was top secret. If this information were to leak out from the Uisinhoe, there could be an attack from the Moyong family, who are competing for the supremacy of the six major families.
Hagok smiled and placed a large bundle on the table.
“Please take this first.”
Prince Moyong did not ask what this was.
Moyong-gun immediately unpacked the bundle and opened his eyes wide when he saw the items inside.
“Isn’t this thousand-year snow ginseng? “Is that also three roots?”
“Hehe, although I don’t know much about martial arts, I know that the head of the family is doing great things. “You will have a lot of things to do in the future, so I thought it would be good to drink some of it whenever you are tired.”
A strange smile appeared on Mo Yong-gun’s face.
Millennium Seolsam was an excellent elixir. Although it was nothing compared to the level of gifting of spiritual creatures like the legends of the Perennial Snow White or the Great Hwandan of Shaolin, it was not a bribe worth giving this much.
Not even one root, but three roots. Moyongsega also has Millennium Seolsam, but it is only six roots.
It was a huge bribe, but Prince Moyong was not surprised.
He put Seolsam aside and asked with a smile.
“So, what do you want Moyong-gun to do for you?”
Hagok burst out laughing.
“Hehe, it’s really refreshing. Indeed, the world said that the head of the family was one of Ilse’s best friends, and there was a good reason for all the rumors.”
“Words of high praise.”
“If you do, this old man will be shameless and tell you something.”
Hagok spoke in a more subdued voice.
“You are probably familiar with the Murim League’s remnant military unit, the Extinction Army, right?”
A strange look appeared in Mo Yong-gun’s eyes.
“Of course.”
“I heard that the commander of the same Yu military unit, Tangma Army, is the head of the family’s younger brother.”
“That’s right.”
“I’ll tell you straight. “Someone on our side had a bit of a conflict with the two commanders of Tangma Murder Temple.”
“Hoo, conflict?”
“Let me explain…”
Hagok briefly explained what happened the other day.
Moyong-gun stroked his chin.
“Uishinhoe… Isn’t there a sect like that?”
“You can’t say it’s a sect. It’s hard to even call it an organization. “You can just think of it as a meeting held by members of the Central House of Representatives working together to benefit the world.”
“Oh really?”
“That’s right. In any case, there seems to be a complicated conflict in many ways between the two military commanders…”
“But I guess I didn’t know about it until now.”
“yes?”
“Looking at that secret, it seems like even the public doesn’t know much about the Uisinhoe.”
Hagok smiled.
“It’s not that it’s secret, it’s just that it doesn’t show up to the world. “In fact, it is nothing more than a gathering of close lawmakers, not even a faction or interest group.”
“That’s amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“A gathering of close friends? “Although it was a simple meeting, it seemed to be a meeting with a very strong bond, to the point where they not only visited the commanders of the Murim Alliance’s remaining military units but also asked them to refuse formal orders.”
Hagok struggled to keep his smile.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, but we just…”
“Also, no matter how much he is the head of a prestigious family vying for the lead among the six major families, he is handing over three roots of Millennium Seolsam… Haha, no matter how you think about it, the organization called Uisinhoe is an ordinary organization. “I don’t think so.”
“Matriarch. Don’t misunderstand. “We are by no means a great organization.”
“Is that so?”
“of course. “What power can there be in a group formed by a group of powerless lawmakers?”
“Actual force may not be enough.”
Moyong grinned.
“Did you join hands with the official?”
At that moment, Hagok almost screamed without even realizing it.
I somehow prevented the sound from coming out, but the look of surprise was clearly visible on my face.
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“I knew so. Currently, in the black and white martial arts world, there is no organization as powerful as the martial arts alliance. “If you want to mess with a group like that, you need to have a backing that the Murim Alliance can’t use their hands on, so of course, the only one you have is a government official.”
“…!”
“But Rep. Ha.”
“…Please speak, matriarch.”
“It doesn’t matter to me whether the Uisinhoe joined hands with the government or any other organization. Why did you even touch them?”
Hagok quickly intervened.
“Isn’t that why you came to visit the head of the family? Especially since the head of the family’s younger brother was also there, we felt it was a great disrespect on our part to show our sincerity like this…”
“It’s not Woo that I care about.”
“yes?”
“Woo, he’s my little brother, and if you treat him well, he’ll get off his anger on his own. Also, this guy knows how to watch the game. “They’re not called geniuses for nothing.”
“If you say ha…?”
Moyong-gun smiled a mocking smile.
“Do you know what kind of guy Yeon Ho-jeong is?”
“…?!”
“There are three people in the Murim Alliance that I am most afraid of and wary of. The first is a public ambassador and the second is a military officer, Zhuge Munhuo. “Who will be the last one?”
“no way…?”
“exactly. Yeon Ho-jeong is that guy.”
Hagok’s face hardened.
It is said that the world’s most famous family is afraid and wary of a single late Jisoo.
Hagok felt speechless at these unbelievable words. This was because I had heard a rumor that Prince Moyong could not be compared to anyone else in terms of martial arts skills as well as political power and tactics.
Even though Mr. Mo Yong may be the best reviewer in the world, he is afraid of a young man who has barely reached the age of maturity?
“As I just said, crying is a genius. There is nothing he can’t do in many areas, including military power, insight, and Sangjae. But Yeonhojeong is different.”
“….”
“If Woo is a rare genius, Yeon Ho-jeong is a three-headed, six-heavy monster. “I don’t even understand how he became such a monster.”
Hagok swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
A three-headed, meat-rich monster. In my life, I have heard many people described in that way, but when Mo Yong-gun of the world spoke like that, the weight of it was different.
“You must have thought. “No matter how talented they are, the Murim Alliance will not be able to advance quickly with those two.”
“….”
“You’re half right. My younger brother Wu can’t do that. But Yeonhojeong is different.”
Moyong smiled coldly.
“Regardless of whether the Uisinhoe joined hands with the government or not, even if it had direct contact with the emperor of a great country, if it were to fail, they would try to destroy it in any way possible.”
“That’s ridiculous!”
“Hoo? “Do you really think so?”
“Even if the young man named Yeon Ho-jeong is a monster as the head of the family said, how can one individual deal with a government official?”
“Are you sure Rep. Ha thinks I’m afraid of Yeonhojeong’s military power?”
“yes?”
“The reason I am afraid and wary of him is not only because of his terrifying vision and drive, but also because of his unimaginable instincts and execution skills.”
“…!!”
“He never forgets what he puts in his heart. In that respect, Yeon Ho-jeong is similar to me. All politicians are like that. I never forget what happened. “I’m just wondering when to attack.”
Hagok swallowed his saliva again without realizing it.
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“You guys touched the wrong person this time. If he starts going crazy, even I won’t be able to stop him. Moreover, from the point of view of the main alliance, Yeonhojeong only strictly followed the orders of his superiors.”
“…!!”
“Besides, you’ve got the wrong person.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Mo Yong smiled bitterly.
“Right now, I am not physically tied up. “I always participate in the alliance meetings, but I am being very careful because of what has happened in the past.”
“that…!”
“There’s nothing you can’t do if you take the initiative yourself.”
Mo Yong-gun smiled and touched the Millennium Snow Ginseng.
“You can’t make my butt shake with just three roots of Millennium ginseng. “I also have something to prepare.”
“Matriarch.”
“Even if we had brought perennial snow ginseng instead of millennium snow ginseng, there would have been conflict. “That’s my situation now.”
“Then…”
Hagok asked cautiously.
“If you are in such a situation, wouldn’t you be able to take advantage of the party members who have joined hands with you?”
“….”
“Of course, I will show my sincerity.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“Rep. Ha made another mistake.”
“yes?”
“I am not the kind of person who only acts on bribes given directly. “A bribe is just a key to open the conversation. If you really wanted something from me, you should have brought me the gift of ‘the future.’”
“You mean the future?”
“Are you willing to cut ties with the official and be with this person?”
“…!!”
“Look at that. “You came without even thinking about that, so you only threw away three roots of the Millennium Seolsam for no reason.”
Prince Moyong stood up holding a bundle.
“As Representative Ha said, I will take this as a token of apology for you touching my younger brother.”
“Go, matriarch!”
“Also, neither I nor the Murim Alliance have any intention of having a conflict with you. So, I’ll go back and have a bit of a conversation.”
Prince Moyong smiled and turned his back.
Hagok opened his eyes and looked at the back of Prince Moyong with a bewildered expression.
Before opening the door, Moyong opened his mouth.
“Rep. Ha. “Even though it’s only been a couple of times, we’re already familiar with each other, so I’ll give you some advice.”
“…?”
“From now on, that crazy monster in Yeonhojeong will start running rampant.”
“…!”
“I don’t want to say this, but just deal with it. I’m telling you, don’t provoke him. “If you mess with him any further, the Council of Gods, which you call a gathering, may be uprooted.”
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“From now on, stop all activities and speak to the high officials of the government to whom you have made good. I will end this matter on your behalf. Otherwise, some of the roots of the crown pillars will fly off.”
“….”
“Please keep my words in mind.”
