“Commander.”
“hmm?”
When I turned my head, I saw Gyubyeok, the leader of the Tangma Army, in front of me.
“The entire army has taken its place. “We each checked our weapons and went to rest.”
“i get it.”
“I…”
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
Gyu-byeok quenched his appetite.
“Are you okay?”
Among the five captains, Gyu-byeok was the one with the hottest and most lively personality. So, although he sometimes made mistakes, his human charm was outstanding and many people followed him.
After observing the commander’s thoughts for a long time, he finally asks something curious. That’s how much he respected Mo Yong-woo.
Mo Yong-woo tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“We too…we were a little angry at first.”
“So what?”
“Hehe hum! “The existence of Uijeonggun.”
“I don’t understand at all. why? “Do you hate Uijeong-gun?”
“Oh no. “That’s not it.”
I thought it might be a question that touched my pride, but I decided to ignore it anyway. Gyubyeok decided to respect his own personality.
“Aren’t you dissatisfied with the fact that Commander Yeon or Daesu has become the chairman of the Uijeonggun?”
It was an unexpected question. At least that was the case for Mo Yong-woo.
But I guess it wasn’t for the leaders. The commanders and several soldiers scattered here and there pricked up their ears.
Mo Yong-woo frowned.
“The ability of algebra is extremely outstanding. “What are your complaints about someone like that leading the Uijeonggun?”
When I asked that question, I had nothing to say. Anyone else would have been embarrassed and would have scratched their head or cleared their throat and walked away.
Of course, our rules were not like that. In a way, he was the most honest person in Tangma Army.
“Anyway… Isn’t Daesu too young? Even more so than the commander.”
“Can age be a measure of a person’s abilities? “Isn’t it normal to think that you are even greater because you have such abilities at a young age?”
“Of course it is. “I know very well that Daesu’s talent is genius and that he is good enough to become the head of the Uijeonggun.”
“But what is the problem?”
“It’s not a problem… aren’t you angry?”
“Are you mad?”
Mo Yong-woo kept tilting his head.
Gyubyeok suspected that Mo Yong-woo was pretending not to notice even though he understood what he was saying. An ordinary person would not know what this question meant.
But looking at the commander’s face like this, it seemed like he really didn’t know.
Gyubyeok spoke honestly.
“The commander is older and more experienced than the commander. Well, the two of you are called the Tiger and Sword Twins, but at least in terms of experience, it can be said that the commander is one step above you. I was wondering if you were jealous that the current Dae-su, rather than the commander, was in charge of the military. ”
Mo Yong-woo chuckled.
“why? “Did I seem like such a bad person that I couldn’t do what I needed to do because I was jealous of such things?”
“Wow! I definitely don’t think so! I just…”
“Hahaha.”
Mo Yong-woo burst into bright laughter.
Gyubyeok, as well as the commanders and soldiers, looked at Mo Yong-woo in surprise.
Although he always showed a strict and sword-like attitude when it came to public affairs, Mo Yong-wu’s personality was fundamentally close to softness. Because his human charm was outstanding and his distinction between public and private affairs was clear, the entire Tangma Army followed Mo Yongwu wholeheartedly.
But even they had never seen Mo Yong-woo smile like this.
Mo Yong-woo said with a smile.
“I’m sorry. Actually, I knew what your question meant from the first time I heard it. I just wanted to play a prank of my own, but it seems I embarrassed you more than I expected. “I apologize.”
“no! “You mean an apple?”
Gyu-byeok quenched his appetite. I now regret whether I made my superior feel frustrated by saying something I shouldn’t have said.
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“But my heart is sincere. “I don’t feel the slightest bit of jealousy.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Maybe you will click your tongue and call me a heartless b*stard.”
“omg! Absolutely not!”
Mo Yong-woo looked up at the sky.
The land, weather, and people were different, but the sky was the same in Guangdong Province. As I looked at the stars that filled the dark night sky, I felt like my complicated head and frustrated mind were clearing up.
“Your algebraic skills are outstanding. Of course you know that too. But I can assure you that our master is much better than you know. “You don’t even know one-tenth of what algebra is capable of.”
A rare compliment came from Mo Yong-woo’s mouth.
As much as Mo Yong-woo was not stingy with praise, he also did not spare words in pointing out mistakes. In other words, he was a person who did not know how to speak exaggeratedly.
That is why he evaluates the leadership of Uijeong-gun so highly. The leaders were shocked and speechless.
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“Jealousy can only happen if the level is similar. In the first place, what kind of jealousy is jealousy to people of different levels? Rather, even if you follow and learn, it may take a lifetime.”
“…!”
“I know how you feel. I didn’t say anything, but I’m sure you were quite disappointed that I, your leader, did not become the chairman of the council. “I may have felt a sense of defeat while looking at the soldiers of the Army of Death.”
The leaders and soldiers could not bear to say no. It was a place where the superior opened up and spoke. It wasn’t the time to be polite or talk loudly.
“I would like to ask you the opposite. In your opinion, has any of the Mortal Army soldiers ever looked down on you?”
At that time, Jinpae, the leader of the group, spoke.
“It has never been like that. The look in his eyes didn’t change even once. On the contrary, they themselves seemed surprised that the leader had become the chairman of the National Assembly.”
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“That is the army of death and death. I can’t be sure because I’m not familiar with each of the Mortal Soldiers, but there’s nothing special about them. Native? Of course, they are made up of people from the nine and six families. But origin cannot prove a person’s worth. “The learning is just a little different.”
Gyubyeok said.
“Isn’t this a world where rankings and social status are differentiated because of that learning?”
His words contained envy that could not be hidden and a resentment that went beyond that envy.
I was ignored because I couldn’t learn properly, and I wandered because there was no one to guide me. Even if he tried to achieve something on his own, he was helpless because he did not have the minimum foundation for success.
So I was obsessed with my origins and felt a thirst for learning. That’s why they care about the public’s evaluation even though they have achieved a certain level of fame in one region.
Also, it was similar for most people. The root of why he asked Mo Yong-woo if he felt jealous might also lie there.
“There are many people who make that distinction. Implicitly. But the real ones are different. Those who have learned poorly are intoxicated with a sense of superiority, but those who have learned properly are willing to share.”
“…!”
The leaders pondered Mo Yong-woo’s words.
Clumsy people consider what they have special, but real people try to share what they have.
Mo Yong-woo was the standard for dividing the wise from the wise.
“The laws of a famous family are much stricter and more inconvenient than you think. “There are many people who are born into good families and act like idiots or who think they are the best and whine, but there are many more children from famous families who live in agony over what is right based on patience and self-control.”
Mo Yongwu looked around at Tang Ma.
Tangma group scattered here and there. More than half of them were looking at Mo Yong-woo. The sincerity in Mo Yong-woo’s voice and the information about the world they did not know were what made them focus.
“The person who brought them together and turned them into a nearly flawless fighting force is our leader.”
The leaders swallowed their saliva without even realizing it.
“Regardless of the laws of the famous family, the soldiers of the Mortal Death Army are all people with their own pride. “Do you think it would be easy for them to bow their heads and be loyal to a young man from a similar background?”
“…!!”
“That’s exactly why I respect and respect algebra. He’s real.”
“Really…”
“Really. The real of the real. The reason is because he is a person who burns everything he has, not for his own reputation, but for the sake of the world.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“Since they were merged into one unit called the Uijeonggun without prior notice, it would not be easy for you to conduct the review. “But what I want to say is this.”
“….”
“Dae-su is one of the few true charlatans in the world. “That alone is reason enough to choose death at his command.”
At that time, Chief Oh Gye-eok said.
“As the commander said, there are few real things in the world.”
“hmm?”
“However, in our view, the commander is also genuine.”
Gyeok bowed his head.
“Since the commander is someone we trust, we will also trust and follow him.”
They do not follow Yeonhojeong because they are given orders. Since their superior, Mo Yong-woo, recognized him, it meant that they would also recognize Dae-su.
Mo Yong-woo looked around again.
The commanders and soldiers all had similar faces.
Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at them with strange eyes, soon grinned.
“I guess that’s enough for now. “Thank you for trusting me.”
Even Mo Yong-woo had not thought of this much.
It is clear why the soldiers respect him as much as he respects Yeon Ho-jeong.
Because of Mo Yong-woo’s appearance like this, the soldiers also think that Mo Yong-woo is no worse than Yeon Ho-jeong.
Mo Yong-woo looked up at the sky again.
“…What is Yeonje doing now?”
* * *
“Practice! No, Yeon Daesu!”
“Please feel free to call me. It’s been a while. By the way, Hu-gae himself came to lead this information war?”
“Now is not the time to discuss such matters.”
Full-sang explained to Yeon Ho-jeong in detail what had happened so far.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“A great disciple of Yin God?”
“exactly. “I don’t know his name, but he sent me a message with this message.”
“Hmm.”
“What does Daesoo think?”
Yeon Ho-jeong was lost in thought.
‘The sound body of the time is Honggwan, or Ganja Yaryul of Saeumgyo. Then, his great disciple…?’
Yeon Ho-jeong had seen the spirit of evil during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.
At that time, Eumshin was younger than himself. Of course, he was still middle-aged, but I was quite surprised that he was younger than I thought.
‘Couldn’t that guy be this guy now?’
You never know. Because we’ve never met in person. Even if they were the same person, there was no guarantee that the personality of this person back then would be similar to that of this person now.
After a while, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.
“Please handle that matter yourself. “It is difficult for me to make a judgment right now.”
“Damn, I feel the same way, so I asked Dae-su for his opinion.”
“By the way, there was an earthquake in their territory?”
“It’s a report that two super experts clashed. It may be a bit exaggerated, but in a normal fierce battle…”
“That’s strange.”
“ok? “What do you mean?”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“The goal was to create chaos, but… that damn b*tch wouldn’t be that thoughtless, would she? “Is it really a trap?”
No matter how smart Yeon Ho-jeong was, there were bound to be variables in the world.
‘I can’t help it.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was once again lost in thought, quickly nodded.
“Please arrange a table with the great disciple. “I will see you in person.”
