Episode 450
Shaking (5)
Wooooow.
The sword cried.
‘hmm?’
Yeonwi, who was leaning against a tree and wiping away his sweat, looked at the sword stuck in the ground.
‘what?’
Yeonwi tilted his head.
‘The sword just cried by itself?’
There is no way that a senior level expert could have been mistaken.
Besides, he wasn’t the same old man he was in the past. After the Uijeong Army was founded and Yeon Ho-jeong, who became the commander of the Yu army unit, went to war, he focused on training more than ever.
The training was of the highest quality, accompanied by Tang Guan and often accompanied by advice from Zhuge Liang.
Is that why? Yan Wei’s sword fighting skills went beyond Daeseong and entered another level, and he definitely completed one of the three absolute swords.
And what is that level?
Sara la la la rock.
The blowing wind shook the sword.
Slurp.
Yeonwi rests her arms on her upright knees.
I didn’t extend my hand and I couldn’t feel the flow of internal energy being released. However, the sword was moving on its own and was about to be pulled out.
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
Sigh!
The sword that was drawn out gently floated up and soon stopped in front of Yeonwi.
It was a frighteningly natural act of empty space. There was such an overwhelming sense of martial arts that it felt like the sword was being controlled almost entirely with will, to the point where you couldn’t even feel the flow of internal energy.
Yeonwi stretched out his hand and grasped the sword.
Wooooow.
The sword cried once again.
Is it because I met the owner? Or is it because something unknown is at work?
Yeonwi, who had been looking at the sword for a while, raised his head and looked up at the sky.
A small smile appeared on his lips.
“Hojeong?”
I don’t know. Why did I mention my first child’s name without realizing it at this moment?
But somehow it felt good. It feels as if his son has grown as much as he has grown.
It wasn’t just Hojeong. The face that naturally came to mind next was that of the second child, who no longer had any signs of youth.
The second child, who swung his sword almost in a frenzy even before joining the army.
I was so worried about that, but for some reason, I felt like I had overcome all the adversity and grown up nicely. I felt that way.
Someone spoke to Yeonwi, who was looking up at the sky for a long time.
“Does it seem like something good has happened?”
The sarcastic tone now felt more than familiar.
Yeonwi said calmly.
“I like the sunlight.”
The official looked up at the sky and frowned.
“It’s really different from Sacheon.”
“exactly?”
“Come and see me later.” “What kind of region is Sacheon?”
“I heard that there are fewer days when the sun rises than in other areas of the central plains.”
“Is it for no reason that it is said that dogs bark when the sun rises? Well, living in a neighborhood like that naturally makes you feel gloomy.”
Yeonwi burst out laughing without realizing it. The officer’s words were funny.
“Then are all Sichuan people dark?”
“That’s just the way it is. By the way…”
The official’s eyes lit up.
“Has it increased again?”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw it earlier. “He was able to use the air as naturally as breathing.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“Isn’t this level of trickery easy even for the head of the family? In fact, compared to Dangga stocks, it is now at a baby level. “It was a long way away.”
If you look at the movement of the object itself, which is controlled by an object in the air, what Yeonwi said was not wrong. Because our work on memorization is filled with utmost delicacy.
However, the party felt a feeling that was difficult to describe in words from Yanwi’s empty space.
It feels as if the sword was moved purely by will, not by internal strength.
‘…fish sword (馭劍)?’
The official shook his head unconsciously.
‘No, not yet.’
I have seen the true state of a sword. From his own father and no one else.
The state of my father’s use of the sword was truly a new world. I never even imagined that such a thing was possible with human capabilities.
Naturally, Yeonwi’s enlightenment did not lead to true swordsmanship.
but.
‘It’s biting.’ Yeongaju’s enlightenment is so naturally biting the end of the sword.’
The officer felt himself laughing.
‘At that age, with that inaction, and this growth rate… it’s really terrible.’
The speed of Yeonwi’s growth since coming to the Murim League could only be described as dazzling.
And surprisingly, the resumption of stagnant growth also happened to the institution itself.
‘The process of understanding a completely different group of martial arts becomes the driving force for explosive growth…’
Of course, not everyone will be able to do this. This level of growth would have been possible because both Danggwan himself and Yeonwi were working hard to create new martial arts, and they put in constant thought and bloody effort to perfect those martial arts.
‘The presence of children probably also played a role.’
I once had this conversation with Yeonwi.
‘Aren’t you scared?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Your second child is quite a genius. But Yeonhojeong surpassed even that. If you are at that level at that age, you will soon become a master who surpasses Yeongaju.’
‘Hehe, just hearing that makes me happy.’
‘Are you just happy? ‘Aren’t you scared?’
‘What is there to be afraid of? My children have grown up and have surpassed me as their father. It will be a joy and emotion that cannot be obtained from any other enlightenment.’
‘hmm.’
‘But I can’t sit still either.’
‘You can’t stay still?’
‘As a father, it would be an infinite joy for my son to surpass me. However, as a warrior, I hope to become a higher wall for my son and become a driving force for his further growth.’
‘….’
‘If I only thought about the sword, there wouldn’t be a need to sweat this much. Just keep wondering and wondering and that’s it. However, as a warrior and a father, I must become stronger.’
‘But what if he surpasses the head of the family?’
‘At that time, I will happily admit defeat. ‘It’s probably the happiest and most beautiful defeat in the world.’
The official laughed.
‘It’s the happiest and most beautiful defeat in the world. ‘Good words.’
I’ve never taken that approach before.
In the party family, even brothers who shared blood were merely rivals. Is it just that? Tang Gwan wanted countless times to step on top of his father, Brother Tang, rather than understand him.
But this father and son relationship was different. Although they cared for and loved each other, they were constantly stimulating each other.
Can this also be considered a healthy competition? Whatever it was, the important thing was that there would never be another father and son as unique as these people.
The officer recalled that conversation once more.
‘What about Dangaju?’
‘If you’re bragging about your child, it’s better to stop. To me, there is no child who is so inhumane.’
‘Hehehe, that’s not why I’m saying that.’
‘Then what?’
‘Aren’t you constantly trying to show Sang-ah a wider world in order to show him a higher level?’
‘It’s a mistake. I only think about myself. Helping you is also for my own growth.’
‘haha.’
‘Don’t laugh.’
‘Hehehe.’
‘I told you not to laugh.’
The conversation just ended like it was watered down.
But the museum was inwardly embarrassed. It was because Yeonwi’s words somehow seemed to hit the nail on the head.
Taking care of myself for someone? I have never lived a life like that. Whether it was a parent or a child, it was not relevant to the authorities. At least that’s what he thought.
‘….’
The official, who was looking at Yeonwi with complicated eyes, cleared his throat.
“When does today’s training end?”
“It can end at any time and start at any time. “Isn’t that kind of training?”
“Sounds good.”
“But why are you doing that? Do you want to have a drink for the first time in a while?”
“Would you like alcohol to go down your throat in these times?”
The official’s eyes lit up.
“What do you think? “Deungcheongyo’s bombshell statement.”
He was the one who called out the three letters of Deungcheongyo’s name without hesitation.
Yeonwi shook his head.
“Is there anything to think about? Everyone knew, and the ambassador took on the remaining political burden. “I’m just sorry that I couldn’t ease that burden.”
“That’s not what I’m saying. “There was a reason why we didn’t announce the existence of the Three Religions, right?”
“exactly.”
“But now that has been in vain. “The Zhuge military has been digging into the backs of the Dukes, but the work has not even made half of its progress.”
The official’s eyes suddenly became sharper.
“Moyong-gun, it’s probably not that guy.”
It was a random remark, but Yeonwi nodded and agreed.
“I think so too.”
“At first, I thought it was Deungcheongyo himself, but now that I think about it, I think the probability of that happening is low.”
“Probability is just probability. However, I also agree with Dang Ga-ju’s words.”
Yeonwi smiled bitterly.
“There is no way these guys, who were so thorough that they not only infiltrated the imperial palace and government offices but also supported the establishment of the Mukryongbu, would have made such a mistake.”
“I think so too.”
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at the sword, stood up and took the sword.
“The situation has come to this, but there is nothing we can do right now. On the contrary, if you move hastily, you may end up making a mistake.”
“It’s frustrating.”
“The Zhuge Army will ask for help soon. Until then, let us not be hasty in our imaginations.”
Yeonwi seemed more relaxed than expected.
Considering Yeonwi’s usual personality, it was strange that she showed such composure. Wasn’t Yeonwi the type of person who tightened his grip more thoroughly in emergency situations?
The official, who was quietly examining the situation, chuckled.
“when?”
“hmm? What do you mean suddenly?”
“When did Yeon Ho-jeong say he would come?”
Surprise appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
“How did you know that?”
“You can tell just by looking at the matriarch’s face. “If he came or something groundbreaking wasn’t prepared, would you take that kind of leisure?”
“Hehehe, really, the Dang family leader has great insight.”
“It’s not that I’m great, it’s just that Yeongaju was an easy person to read.”
If it had been the cold and hard Yeonwi of the past, even the highest court officials would not have been able to read his facial expressions. The current Yeonwi was relaxed enough to fully reveal her emotions.
“I received a call saying we would be leaving in five days.”
“Five days.”
“However, I don’t think it will come immediately. “They say there are places to stop along the way.”
The official frowned.
“If you are going to come, you will come quickly. Are you stopping by somewhere else?”
“Huh, I don’t know either. But is it really a big deal?”
Yeonwi looked far away to the south.
In the direction of Guangdong Province, where my two sons are.
“It has probably grown significantly. “Maybe more than me.”
* * *
Even though there was a large window in broad daylight, the room was somehow dark.
An unusual conversation took place in that dark space.
“Aren’t you overdoing it this time?”
“….”
“Deungcheongyo is a person worthy of suspicion. But it will be difficult for that doubt to persist. Zhuge Wenhu is no ordinary guy. “It won’t be long before Bong Gong finds out that someone other than Deung Cheongyo is Sejak.”
“….”
“I can’t figure it out at all.”
“You…”
The shadow’s flowing voice stretched out like a snake crawling over a wetland.
“There is no need to worry unnecessarily. “Just do as you’re told.”
“Are you sure? So what should I do next?”
“The order will come soon. Until then, you just need to show that you are suitable for your position.”
“I understand. And let me ask you a favor.”
“….”
“Please don’t come here at this hour. “I’m scared of getting caught.”
Slurp.
As soon as those words were finished, the shadow disappeared.
It was a trick that was hard to believe even after seeing it with my own eyes. I couldn’t even tell if it was a new method or a magic method.
A sneer appeared on ‘his’ face.
“It’s still the same damn thing.”
At that time, a young voice was heard outside.
“Jang Moon-in. That’s me. Are you inside?”
“Are you here?”
“yes. “I brought you the items you mentioned.”
“Hey, thank you for your hard work. Please come in.”
His tone of voice, which had been rough like that of a low-ranking b*stard, suddenly became tinged with an old-fashioned style befitting a long-time writer of the group.
