Episode 528
Hundred Soldiers’ Divine Eyes (3)
Makwon was embarrassed. And he didn’t try to hide that he was embarrassed.
‘He is a truly bold young man.’
His life was a day of asceticism. I spent more time practicing martial arts alone than meeting people.
But by that age, you know something about the world. In particular, Makwon mainly focused on martial arts training, but he also did a lot of helping people in need. In the process, I saw enough people.
However, no young man or person he saw was as unique and unconventional as Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Do you mean to ask for help with the martial arts training of Elder Jeomchang here?”
“Why not?”
As he asked the question back and forth like that, Makwon felt his mouth become clogged.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“From what I heard, Makwon Daehyeop is also a person who knows how to serve the world.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Senior Paeyul here is a combat enthusiast. He is a person who risked his life to fight against the strong. However, if there is a person in front of me who is in a happy fight or difficulty, I am a righteous person who does not hesitate to help that person first.”
Paeyul pretended to vomit.
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know if all storefronts are like that, but at least there’s nothing wrong with watching your senior’s martial arts skills.”
Makwon listened to Yeonhojeong in silence.
In fact, he also knew the loss rate well. Although I have only seen this person for a few days, the words and actions I have seen over the past few days are enough to know what a person is like.
Makwon looked at the two for a moment and then smiled.
“A person who does not reveal himself can be said to be a great tycoon. “I would also be honored if I could help with the martial arts growth of such a person.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned. On the other hand, the loss rate was embarrassing.
It is said that not only does he have a high opinion of himself, but he also overlooks martial arts too easily. I really had no idea things would turn out like this.
“but.”
Makwon’s eyes lit up.
“Before I break a sweat, I’d like to clear up some questions.”
“Doubts?”
“We talked a lot during the day. “Why was I being chased by the Shinhwa Cult and how were you able to come to my aid so quickly?”
“I did.”
“But there are still many unanswered questions. “I want to solve that question first.”
To put it bluntly, it is still difficult for me to completely trust you.
It wasn’t something you should say to your lifesaver. So it would be expressed indirectly.
Yeon Ho-jeong and Paeyul understood Makwon’s feelings.
“Let’s ask one question.”
Makwon’s eyes lit up.
“The world’s greatest late-life exponent and leader of the Murim Alliance’s military unit. “How is it that the eldest son of Gangdong Byeoksan Yeonga, a member of the six generations of Murim, is working for the Mukryongbu?”
Yeon Ho-jeong just smiled without saying a word.
But the eyes were not smiling.
Makwon shook his head.
“You’ll have to tell me that clearly. “It’s not a matter of looking at Elder Paeyul’s martial arts skills or not.”
“I know.”
“The Jeong faction and the Sa faction have been baring their fangs at each other for a long time. “A few times, I came close to completely destroying my opponent.”
“….”
“The valley of political affairs is extremely deep. However, it baffles me that a high-ranking member of the political faction alliance is acting in a similar position as the leader of the Black Island Alliance.”
“I completely understand.”
“I will ask you directly.”
Makwon’s expression turned cold.
“Are you betraying the Murim Alliance? Or were you dispatched to the Ministry of Mukryong as Sejak?”
It was a strange question.
In normal cases, it would be right to end with the question of whether he betrayed the Murim Alliance. At least that was the case in Makwon’s situation, and it was also the case when looking at his personality.
However, he even asked if he had been dispatched to the Ministry of Mukryong as Sejak. Looking at the subtle tremor in his voice, he seemed to think that the latter was more of a problem.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I did not betray the Murim Alliance or come to the Mukryongbu as a third party.”
“if?”
“The Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu have formed a temporary alliance. And I have been dispatched to the Mukryongbu on behalf of the Murim Alliance.”
“Is it true?”
“It’s true.”
“As I said, the rift in political affairs is deep. “You guys probably know better than that.”
“Nevertheless, how could these two groups join hands?”
“exactly.”
“It seems like you already know.”
“I want to hear a clear answer. Also, I don’t know about the Murim Alliance, but in the case of the Mukryongbu, even if we have a common enemy, they are not a force that can easily join hands without causing harm to themselves, right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“There is an answer in the words of the Daehyup. “We joined hands to deal with the common enemy of the three religions.”
“It’s not easy. “It’s really not that easy.”
“Are you saying you need to know the process?”
“exactly.”
“Then Daehyup must also promise.”
“promise?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious.
“If you listen to me now, the Mo Yuan Grand Association will have to deal with the Three Schools as part of the Murim Alliance or the Mukryong Club.”
“….”
“There are many ways to persuade the Daehyup. But I don’t want to wastefully review someone who has the potential to become a comrade just because it happens.”
“I guess that means I’m going to tell you something confidential.”
“That’s right.”
Wooooow.
As my heart rose, the altar naturally responded.
The Yeongasindan rotated lightly, stimulating the Four Gods. The subtly radiating essence of contemplation merged into one, making Yeon Ho-jeong look like a dignified person.
Makwon was once again impressed.
‘I don’t know what kind of martial arts you trained. But it’s really strong. Martial arts are great, but people themselves are strong. I think I’ve met someone who is a good match for both people and martial arts.’
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“I hope you fully feel the weight of my words.”
Makwon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, soon smiled.
“If I take out the information after hearing the information, they will try to kill me.”
“That’s right.”
It was a statement made without hesitation.
Regardless of whether it was possible, the spirit of saying that it would definitely be done stood out.
Mak Won’s eyes grew cold.
“I need to hear the answer, but I really can’t handle what Deputy Yeon says. “Now that I have recovered to some extent, you cannot handle me with your strength.”
“I know.”
“Are you saying that even though you know?”
“I know, but at least if it costs all of our lives, it will also cost the lives of the Great Hyeop.”
“Are you sure?”
“of course.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled again.
“I plan to delve into the weaknesses of the Daehyup. “At least, in my eyes, I could see seven weaknesses of the Daehyup.”
It was a difficult statement to ignore. As a military officer, it was like that.
“It’s a weakness… I don’t like my pride, but I find it hard to believe that Deputy Yeon, who is a subordinate to me, knows my weakness.”
“You don’t have to believe it. “You just need to know when you’re in that situation.”
“….”
“In other words, it’s enough if just one of those weaknesses is properly exploited. Aren’t we all risking our lives? “If you can catch one of the three armies with just one weakness, that would also be a meaningful death.”
I’m serious.
Makwon could not sense the scent of lies in Yeonhojeong’s voice.
‘Is it true?’
You really have to fight to find out if this is true.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued.
“But I don’t think the Daehyup is stupid enough to change sides out of worthless pride or leave the organization because it feels bad.”
“….”
“There is no need to provoke us anymore. I’m serious. Instead, the stimulus should come from the Daehyup itself. “Isn’t that right?”
Makwon, who was looking at Yeonhojeong quietly, burst out laughing.
“I’m just curious what Deputy Yeon’s heart is made of.”
“It is made of fire. “As long as the firewood is ready, it will burn brightly.”
thud.
Yeon Ho-jeong put his polearm on the ground.
“Please give me a clear answer. Even if you listen to us, you won’t betray us, will you?”
“Do my words have any meaning? “You wouldn’t have faith in a deal based on words alone, would you?”
“Whether we believe it or not is our opinion and choice. “That part is not something the Daehyup has to worry about.”
Makwon smiled bitterly.
“I am not a person who does not know what to do. How much more is it a lifesaver.”
“Is that so?”
“Apart from anything else, I was always thinking about it. “I want to meet another star powerhouse.”
Makwon nodded.
“I will go to see Lord Mukryong soon. “That’s all I have to say to prove my faith.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“That’s enough.”
“Now tell me. “How did the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu join hands, what happened in the meantime, and what dangers did they face?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching Mak Won in silence, finally opened his mouth.
“It started with the Daebyeol Mountain Range. There….”
Yeon Ho-jeong told him everything that the Murim League had experienced and the gamble they had taken against Yang Cheon, the Mukryongbuju.
As always, his words captured the point well. It wasn’t overly hard and didn’t leak in one way. It was a speech that was conveyed well enough for anyone to easily understand.
The more he listened to Yeon Ho-jeong, the more surprised Makwon’s eyes became.
“…Because of this, the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu formed a temporary alliance.”
“….”
“Do you have any more questions?”
Makwon was speechless.
‘Really incredible things have happened so far.’
The continent is large. Among continental people, there were many cases where they were born and died in one region without being able to smell the air of another region for their entire lives.
In other words, one region is like a small country. Most people were unaware of what was happening in the area next door.
Makwon felt like he had become one of those common people.
I didn’t know whether the Murim Alliance had been fighting such a difficult fight or how the Mukryongbu was established.
Things beyond my imagination kept happening in places I didn’t know about. The phrase ‘Jeongjeojiwa (井底之蛙)’ really resonated with me.
“I guess so. “I did.”
Makwon sighed.
“I practice martial arts for my own perfection… I was living a really comfortable life.”
“Isn’t everyone living for their own perfection? “But I’m glad that someone with this much power is fighting alongside me even now.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“Now Daehyeop can’t go anywhere. “It’s ours.”
Makwon quenched his appetite.
“It’s not wrong, but the expression is really like that.”
Paeyul shrugged his shoulders.
“He’s really like that. “I hope you understand.”
“haha.”
“And there is no need for you to help this person. I would be grateful if you could help me, but seniors should take care of their bodies first. “You haven’t even gotten the poison out yet, right?”
It was a moment when I was clearly called a senior. In his heart, Pae-yul also respected the master named Baek Byeong-shin.
Makwon smiled and looked up at the sky.
“Live for your own perfection….”
Makwon, who was quietly looking at the moonlight, suddenly rolled his shoulders.
“The explosive power at the RBI is too strong.”
“hmm?”
“Since you called me senior, I guess I’ll think of you as junior too.”
“Do whatever you like.”
“Now take a look.”
Makwon held Yeonhojeong’s spear and took a stance.
“The basic strategy for hitting the target in javelin is just using half a warrior and moving the weight…”
Makwon’s lecture began on a good moonlit night.
I didn’t know that the lecture would end even after daybreak.
