Episode 435
A coincidence that changes the situation (3)
“Vice-lord.”
“hmm.”
Yang Chen emptied his glass.
“It’s stuffy.”
“I apologize.”
“I brought bad liquor from the brewery in the first place, so what do you have to apologize for?”
“….”
Yang Chen smiled as he looked at Baek Seo, who was just lowering his head in silence.
“Look at the white paper.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Is it not that good?”
“…yes?”
“I asked if you were feeling bad.”
White Paper was truly embarrassed for the first time in a long time. Just like in the past, every time the Vice Lord said something like this to me, I felt my well-controlled mind shaking greatly.
Of course, as one of Yangcheon’s best confidants, he was also good at managing facial expressions.
White Paper answered with an unwavering voice.
“Is that possible?”
“I told you this before, right? “There is no need to lie to me.”
“….”
“Hehe, just as you have been helping me for a long time, I have also seen you for a long time. “I don’t know how my henchman feels.”
Baekseo felt like he was crying for a moment.
After Yeon Ho-jeong stopped by Mukryongbu again, the Vice Lord seemed to be much more relaxed than before.
To be precise, his personality, which had become increasingly sharp, had changed to become more generous and relaxed like before. From the beginning, Yang Cheon was unusually ambitious, being strict with others but gentle in private.
I already knew this, but what made Baek Seo cry was the word “confidant,” which I hadn’t heard in such a long time.
“A lot of things have happened recently. Not only was it not enough to have been deceived by a brat with no blood on her head, but a woman who knew nothing about politics as much as a sparrow’s tears held her head high and made rude demands. “To my face and no one else’s.”
Aesongi was Yeonhojeong, and Gyejib was the head of a tribe from Botaam.
White Paper lowered his head a little more.
“His talent and ability were too outstanding to be considered a kid with no blood on his head.”
The fact that he gently sent away the spoiled girl can be interpreted as the leader’s magnanimity. However, being deceived by the brat was a matter of ability.
So the white paper praised Yeonhojeong. This was because the leader he served was not a person to be fooled by a mere brat.
Yang Cheon was able to read Baek Seo’s mind. So I laughed.
“Hehehe, you seem to have gotten older too. “I’m doing all the flattery that I didn’t want to do.”
“….”
“Well, you’re right. Yeon Ho-jeong, that guy is too outstanding to be called a kid. “Even though I was fooled by him once, I somehow want to get my hands on it again.”
“My lord.”
“Ah yes. Do you really think I would let him into the Mukryongbu again?”
“….”
“I too am a person with pride. Even if they let me in, I’m not the kind of person who would come in. “I plan to pay him back properly someday, but I really have no intention of recruiting him to headquarters.”
“I apologize.”
Yang Chen stroked his chin.
“Whatever it was, after experiencing various incidents recently, this thought suddenly occurred to me.”
“….”
“Patience is a truly important virtue.”
White Paper’s eyes wavered.
Yangcheon continued speaking as he filled his glass again.
“I got hurt by that guy Yeon Ho-jeong because I wasn’t good enough. “I also lacked insight into people.”
“That’s not true, my lord.”
“I admit it.”
“….”
I also heard and knew about the white paper. Why did Yangcheon’s body get to that point? Why did Yangcheon’s insight become dull?
It was because of the Saeum religious leader. This was because he spent a long time in an abnormal body due to the martial arts attack of the Four Masters.
However, Yangcheon did not blame the Four Masters. He also thinks of it as his own ability and insight.
He is a big person. Baekseo said that a man named Yang Cheon felt that the leader he served was finally ‘complete’.
“But Bothaam’s girl is different. What shook Botaam was the work of a disciple sent under my command. So to speak, the current chaotic situation in Bothaam was intentional by me.”
“….”
“I have tried my hand at countless things, but there have not been many cases where things have turned out as I intended. One of them is Bothaam. “In that case, clapping my hands wouldn’t have been enough, but hearing that girl come and make such demands made me feel like my whole insides were turning.”
“I think… that’s a different problem.”
“Something else?”
“That’s right.”
“why?”
“Plunging Botaam into a whirlpool of confusion was the result of the Vice Lord’s amazing plan, but the arrogance on his part was the arrogance of an arrogant person who did not know how to see the other person.”
Yang Chen smiled.
“Do you think so?”
“That’s right. Moreover, he is a fallen swordsman who was so consumed by past glory that he even neglected his training.”
The dispatched Botaam expert had amazing martial arts skills.
As if to prove that the term ‘legendary Botaam’ did not arise for nothing, the inaction far exceeded the white paper. The bravery of a swordsman who devoted his entire life to kendo was also remarkable.
But the white paper knew. That old fox had neglected his training for the past two or three years.
He is a person who pursues kendo but enters the muddy political world. When the sun, shining from high above, falls, it becomes colder than the moonlight. That fox was like that.
The white paper was confident. If he reveals all the secret techniques he has been hiding, he will be able to kill even that fox who is superior to him.
It was only two or three years, but those two or three years of negligence had dulled the blade that had been sharpened throughout a lifetime like a club.
In the end, he was just that kind of person. Yangcheon is currently involved in the Botaam incident, but even if it wasn’t necessary, he was a person who would collapse at any time.
“For an unmanned person, the ability to properly understand the other person’s capabilities is essential. If you attack someone you shouldn’t attack, your life will be in danger. Likewise, politicians must also properly understand the capabilities of their opponents. “If you make a mistake, you and the organization you belong to will be ruined.”
“In other words, that woman is disqualified both as a military officer and as a politician?”
“He may be an unmanned person, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to call him a politician. “He’s just a fool who thinks he’s clever and clever.”
Yang Chen chuckled.
He too was thinking similarly to White Paper. If the madness of desire wasn’t lurking in that fox’s eyes, he wouldn’t have tolerated it either.
A person who has lost his mind due to desire will try to set the world on fire at the slightest gesture.
That’s exactly what Yang Chen did to him this time.
“Anyway, what do you think? Bothaam is divided into three tribes. “One of the tribes came to me, so one of the other two tribes will head to the Murimmaeng.”
“Maybe it’s both.”
“That possibility cannot be ruled out. However, no matter how blinded he was by desire, he could at least draw a picture. We’ll also keep an eye on each other. “If someone goes to the Murim Alliance, someone else will be scrambling to get another follower.”
White Paper’s eyes lit up.
“Are you talking about a third group?”
“That’s right.”
“There is no organization in the contemporary martial arts world that can be compared to us or the martial arts alliance…”
“There is. “Not in the midfield.”
“…!”
White Paper’s face hardened.
“Surely they will reach out there? “There is a high possibility that they don’t even know the existence of the Three Religions?”
“I guess so. “They are a group with limited intelligence, so they probably don’t know about the three religions.”
Yang Chen smiled.
“But what would happen if someone informed them of the existence of the Three Religions?”
“…!!”
“Then wouldn’t it be possible for two tigers and a three-headed wolf to fight for strength in the fox den called Botaam?”
“My lord.”
The white paper spoke very carefully, very carefully.
“I’m sorry to inform you… It’s too much to leak information from here…”
“That’s just the beginning.”
Yang Cheon cut off Baek Seo’s words like a knife.
“When I first tried to destroy Bothaam, I had my own reasons. “You know that, right?”
“…Yes.”
“Botaam has produced generations of swordsmen worthy of being considered the best in the world. Without leaving out a single generation. “It’s just that the world didn’t know it.”
Yang Chen buried his back in the chair.
His eyes, looking up at the ceiling, contained an endless sense of depth.
“That being is none other than Geomhu (劍后). And in order to be recognized as a swordsman, you have to go out into the world and prove your abilities and wisdom.”
“That’s right.”
“And for generations, the sword lords have touched our black sword.”
A proof of strength. A proof of narrowness.
Geomhu is not simply a symbol of Botaam’s martial arts. It is a symbolic entity that presents not only the power of Botaam, but also their spirit and the way forward.
Such a being was not created simply by receiving good teachings. It was also important to go out into the world and accumulate what kind of goodness and how to punish evil.
Therefore, the only candidate who clears the final hurdle appears in the midfield for a certain period of time and acts as an unknown. He hides himself thoroughly, punishes evil in unseen places, and builds up good without anyone knowing.
From the perspective of Heukdo, grinding one’s teeth was an inevitable fate for generations to come. In the first place, it was a group of black thieves who devastated the minds and bodies of the common people, and the organizations that formed the root of them were destroyed once per generation.
A being that cannot be crushed even if one wants to crush it with force.
A man of absolute martial arts unknown to the world. So, to Heukdo, the existence of Geomhu was like an unstoppable disaster.
“Perhaps this generation’s sword master came to visit me. “If only Bothaam hadn’t gotten to that point.”
Yang Chen closed his eyes.
“Whether it is to punish evil or to challenge myself as a warrior, it has nothing to do with me. If they invade, just smash them to pieces and that’s it. However….”
“….”
“I am the head of the Black Path League called the Mukryongbu. “Before the desire to win as a warrior, before the confidence given by the nickname ‘Tuwang’, as a leader with many people, I had to find a way to win without fighting.”
“I dare say this is a wise decision.”
“But things have changed.”
hook!
A heavy prayer spread out from Yang Chen’s body.
“I am an idiot who spent many years acting like a fool without knowing that I was harmed by the leader of a religious cult. While I was at a standstill, countless newcomers and strange groups whose names I had never even heard of attacked.”
“….”
“I will no longer remain as the master of the Black Island Alliance.”
Hwaaaaaaaah.
A terrible murderous spirit emanated from Yang Chen’s eyes.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I at least sent a warning to the guy who made me like this? “I won’t hesitate to use whatever vicious tactics are necessary to keep his chest wide open for my fist.”
“…Sir.”
“white book.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I have to have a being called Geomhu.”
“…!”
“I must hold in my hands the divine sword of the world, shining coldly and without purpose. With that sword, I’ll have to cut off at least one of the two letters of the four consonants. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
White Paper bowed his head.
“I’m just following orders.”
“That Yeonhojeong guy is in Guangdong?”
“That’s right.”
“The Murim Alliance hasn’t chosen a leader yet.”
“That’s right.”
Yang Chen closed his eyes.
“Send a letter to that guy Yeonhojeong. He is the nucleus of Murim League politics. “At least not yet.”
“….”
“We have to move him.”
