Episode 290
Ready (4)
in one month.
“Whoa.”
A lightly exhaled sigh was mixed with thick breath.
“It’s definitely different.”
The official frowned.
“It’s a new year… I didn’t feel much excitement, but it definitely feels like the days have gotten colder as the year has passed.”
The transcendental master’s entire body’s energy is flexible and free, and he has already reached the state of invulnerability in Chinese calligraphy. However, on the other hand, the higher the quality and quantity of internal energy, the more sensitive his senses become.
In fact, if you look at the feeling, there was no difference in the cold whether it was a month ago or now. But the party felt it. It seems like it’s gotten colder for some reason.
Maybe it wasn’t because of the weather, but because of his heart.
‘The heart.’
The official smiled as he looked up at the sky where snow was falling one by one.
“It’s poetry.”
It’s really fun. Who would have thought that the owner of the world’s four heavenly temples would be imbued with such strange emotions?
The official shook his head.
‘I’ll really have to think about it.’
If we return to Dangjia, the Moyong army’s attack will begin at any time.
Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t go back because I was scared. However, because I knew that Moyong-gun’s hair was not normal, I was worried for no reason and did not go back.
But now it felt like it was time.
‘What difference will it make if I’m in the Murim Alliance? I signed up for the position, got a government job, and even though I broke down in the middle, I showed my presence, so I think I’ve achieved enough results.’
I hadn’t even thought about it in the first place. After all, the Tang family was the master of Sacheon. I had no business knowing the circumstances of other regions of the central plains.
However, the reason he came to the Murim Alliance was because he had a desire to change.
‘This is why people shouldn’t do things they don’t do before.’
The official shook his shoulder.
As the accumulated snow disappeared little by little, the gaze of the official was returning to its original harsh and cold appearance.
‘I am the king of Sacheon. No one in the world can escape the fear and influence of their family. In other words, the main family is a power that can be said to be the best in the world. That’s enough.’
Just confirming that is enough. I decided to think so.
‘Well, I’d like to see who becomes the leader.’
Whoa.
The snowflakes falling silently melted in the exhaled breath.
“I guess I should start packing soon.”
The official turned his back on me.
It was then.
‘….’
The party’s steps stopped.
His eyes, which had been flashing the bitter and cold gaze characteristic of the head of the family, were shaking slightly.
Sabak. Sabak.
There was a figure walking through the accumulated snow.
It was a very light and cheerful sound. However, looking at the calmness that stood out, I could guess that the personality of the person who made the footsteps would not be easily shaken.
Okay.
The person who was walking like that also stopped walking.
months. months. months.
The silence between the two was so heavy that the sound of snowflakes accumulating on the ground could be heard as loud as hail falling.
How much time has passed like that?
“Are you going?”
The official flinched without realizing it. And he couldn’t care less that the other person noticed his reaction.
“I think you’ll leave right now.”
It was a calm and calm voice.
The official turned around.
My daughter was there. A rare genius who was called the goddess of the dark sky and had a reputation as the best late-stage exponent of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Guan looked at Tang Shang’er in silence.
Tang Sang-ah spoke again.
“Wouldn’t you be bored if you left alone without an attendant?”
“I am the head of the Tang family.”
“i know.”
“….”
“If you’re going to leave, why don’t you leave after the weather gets a bit warmer? “There is snow everywhere, so the journey must be quite tiring.”
The official almost opened his mouth without even realizing it. I almost shouted, saying it was none of your business and what you wanted to say.
But he couldn’t.
And he himself didn’t know why.
Tang Sang-ah, who had been quietly looking at the hall, suddenly looked around.
“It’s quite cold.”
“….”
“I think you’ve finished drinking. Are there any tea leaves left?”
The official’s eyes wavered.
He noticed that his daughter’s once calm voice was trembling slightly.
What will you say in front of your child?
“…There are good tea leaves.”
A smile spread across Tang Sang-ah’s face.
“Can I have a drink?”
“….”
The official, who had been silent, walked towards his residence.
“I don’t know how to drive a car. “If you want to drink, you can come.”
The official, who had been walking for a while, added in a low voice.
“Two drinks.”
* * *
Prince Moyong stood up with a smile on his face.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, brother.”
Mo Yongwu’s complexion was somewhat pale. The appearance of a person who was devastated in many ways was noticeable.
But compared to when I joined the club 10 days ago, it definitely seemed to have improved a lot. Well, at that time, everyone except Ki Woo-hee was exhausted to the limit.
“Is it okay if I don’t receive any more treatment?”
“This is enough. “It can be resolved on its own.”
“Okay, then that’s a good thing.”
Mo Yong-gun helped Mo Yong-woo and sat him down on a chair.
“Are you coming back after eating?”
“Yes, brother. “I took care of my body with the nutritious food provided by the medical room.”
“Good job. No matter how much of a martial arts expert you are, you are still human in the end. “When you’re injured, it’s best to listen to your doctor.”
After a while, Moyong-gun brought out the car.
“Try a drink. “It will soothe your tired mind and body.”
“thank you.”
After drinking it, I could clearly see that care had been put into the tea. Even if the same tea leaves are brewed in the same order, the difference in taste and aroma is probably due to the presence or absence of sincerity.
Prince Moyong sighed.
“It was a lot of hardship.”
“no.”
“I had no idea you would suffer this much. “I sent it off with peace of mind because that guy Yeonhojeong was there, but I never thought that all these random people would get involved.”
Honest anger bloomed in Mo Yong-gun’s eyes.
He knew well who had instigated the attack on Mo Yong-woo and the others.
‘They’re like bugs who don’t even know the subject.’
Prince Moyong made a promise. He said he would uproot the Uisinhoe and show the world the majesty of the Murim Alliance. It will also tell you how dangerous it is to touch the blood of the Mo Yong family.
“I’m still kicking the lawmakers of Hanam….”
“Brother.”
“hmm?”
Mo Yong-woo said with a smile.
“It’s about them now.”
Prince Moyong frowned.
“It’s done? What does that mean? “They dared to attack the guards dispatched by the Murim Alliance. This is a problem that should never be ignored.”
“Of course it is, but there are more important things to do than that, right?”
“…?”
“Lord.”
“…!”
Mo Yong-gun’s face hardened in shock.
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“You wouldn’t know if I were dead. No, even if I were dead, you shouldn’t worry about them.”
“….”
“The new year has arrived. It will probably snow heavily until next month. But when this snowfall weakens and the rampant cold begins to subside, the real war begins.”
“…It’s war.”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sparkled like starlight.
“You have to reach the peak.”
At that moment, Mo Yong felt goosebumps creeping up the back of his hand and spreading throughout his body.
The pinnacle of one word that came out of my younger brother’s mouth.
The moment those words caught my ear, all the anger I had built up until now seemed to evaporate and a rosy future unfolded like a fantasy before my eyes.
“Please leave the matter to the soldier. The military will take care of it. From now on, you must gradually take control of the reins so that you can ascend to the throne of the leader.”
“Hmm.”
“Unless something else happens, the leader of this generation will rule the Murim Alliance for the next dozen years. Of course, just because he is the ruler does not mean he can do everything he wants, but there is no disagreement that he is at least the most powerful person in the Baekdo martial arts kingdom.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sparkled.
“If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait at least fifteen years. “In order not to waste that time, you should prepare now.”
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“Yes, you are right.”
We were already in the midst of making various preparations. However, because his younger brother was seriously injured, he was furious and fuming.
However, since Mo Yong-woo came out first, Mo Yong-gun was also able to relieve his burden.
“Wouldn’t you be disappointed?”
“What do you mean?”
“This brother Woo can’t even properly avenge his younger brother.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“My revenge is mine alone. “You can make a bowl like that, brother.”
“Hehehe.”
“Stand tall above the world. That’s the top priority.”
“Okay, that comes first. “Thank you for understanding me.”
“you’re welcome.”
The two people looked out the window.
The snow falling silently somehow seemed to have increased in volume compared to before half an hour ago.
“Happy New Year.”
* * *
“Whoa.”
White steam poured out in clumps, as if smoking a cigarette.
“Is the work over?”
“Yes father.”
Yeonwi clicked her tongue as she saw Yeonhojeong get up from her seat.
“No matter how much he is said to be invulnerable to the Hanseo, why would a guy whose body is not normal even need to get hit in the eyes to try his luck outdoors?”
He shook off the snow that had accumulated on Yeon Ho-jeong’s shoulders.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“What about Jipyeong?”
“He’s still sleeping. Fortunately, I wasn’t as hurt as you or Bia, but I think I was shocked in my own way.”
“Maybe so. It was a firm cut, but there was a hint of hesitation. “As much blood has been seen, the emotional wounds will be much greater than the physical wounds.”
“okay.”
Yeonwi looked up at the sky.
“That’s how you grow.”
Even though she said that, when she thought about ten days ago, Yeonwi still felt her heart sink.
The children came back covered in blood. Not only Yeon Ho-jeong, but Yeon Ji-pyeong also returned to Maeng extremely exhausted.
Yeonwi fell into an indescribable sense of self-destruction as she saw her children returning from all kinds of hardships in situations she did not know about.
In fact, as a powerful warrior, it could be said that it was his destiny to kill his enemies and see their blood.
Still, things were different with children. Even though they understood it with their head, their heart also wished that they would not have to live that kind of life.
Of course, the two sons have already grown into great warriors.
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking up at the sky, patted Yeonhojeong on the back.
“Certainly you are Ganggol. Bia is still receiving treatment.”
“Isn’t he a weakling?”
“Hey.”
“Cluck.”
Yeonwi, who was looking at her son with a grin, asked a little cautiously.
“Are you sure you don’t have to go to the doctor?”
“of course. “At this rate, it will probably heal within five days.”
“Well, if that’s you, I guess that’s the case.”
“And shouldn’t we start preparing now?”
“preparation?”
“yes. “The new year has passed, right?”
Yeonwi’s face hardened.
“…lord.”
“That’s right. And we need to pay attention to more things besides the leader election.”
“Are you talking about the three religions?”
“That’s right.”
Yeonhojeong sat down on the bench, clearing the snow.
An intense light emanated from his eyes.
“Now everyone who needs to be gathered has gathered.”
Ki Woo-hee, the illegitimate son of a Shinhwa cult leader, entered the clan.
I found out that an organization called Uisinhoe exists in the world, and I also found out that they have a deep-rooted collusion with the government.
He understood the power of the Mukryongbu, knew that the Three Schools were already working behind the scenes to swallow up the central plains, and that the Murim Alliance’s system was now fully established.
And this year, an election will be held to select the person who will become the first leader of the Murim Alliance.
Furthermore, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to instinctively realize that all the relationships and events came together.
“I think this year will be quite a difficult year.”
