Episode 54.
To where the wind goes (4)
“Matriarch. “I received a call from Hwangpungjeong.”
Hwangpungjeong was an intelligence organization operated directly by the Moyong family. As it was an organization created during the period when the Mo Yong family was active in Liaoning Province, it had a great history and loyalty.
“What did you say?”
“They say they don’t understand.”
“what?”
“Large-scale information control occurred throughout Jiangsu Province. “It is said that Hwangpungjeong’s informants are unable to penetrate that wall.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“Large-scale information control? “In the entire Jiangsu Province?”
“That’s right.”
“Jiangsu Province is big and wide. No matter how great the power of the Yanga, is it possible to control information on a large scale? And that too in a short period of time?”
“I believe it is impossible with the strength of the love story I have discovered so far.”
“Of course it is. That is impossible for any of the seven great powers. Even if the two forces joined forces, it would be difficult.”
“That’s right.”
“I guess we couldn’t even get close to Tongcheondan.”
“That’s right. “There is currently no way to contact them unless the informants jump directly into Jiangsu Province and sell their products.”
“That means.”
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa said in a cold voice.
“It means that someone is helping with annual leave. “A group that specializes in handling information.”
“At this scale, an organization that can be said to be the best among them has stepped in.”
“Then…”
“Open, black gate, commercial palace. “It’s probably one of these three.”
Openness was the best of the white island intelligence world, and black gate was a big player in the black island intelligence world. And Sangsangwol was an information organization completely driven by money, and was an information dealer who handed over valuable information in exchange for money.
“It won’t be a black gate.”
“It’s the least likely. Black Gate’s information power is the lowest among the three. Moreover, due to the nature of Yeongaju, there is no possibility that he reached out to the Black Gate.”
Wrong.
The information power of the Black Island Martial Arts is superior to the White Island Martial Arts in many areas. That was the driving force that enabled them to survive until now.
It’s just that it wasn’t known to the world. Even Mo Yong of the world had no choice but to remain ignorant of areas he was not interested in.
“Then that leaves open space and open space.”
A tension that could not be hidden appeared on Mo Yong-Yeonhwa’s face.
“Either way is dangerous.”
“Yes.”
If it is the government that helped Yeon-ga, it is a major incident in itself.
Although it appears to be free-spirited and loose, openness has revered integrity for generations. This is because maintaining a righteous mind is even more important when dealing with information.
Most sects have a history of being corrupted at one time or another, but the opening has never been like that.
Naturally, the right to speak out about openness is contested for supremacy even in the old file room. Having the highest say among the nine factions meant that one could have a great influence on Baekdo martial arts.
If the opening is deeply related to the return of the Mo Yong family, it will be troublesome in many ways.
So, is Sangsangwol any better?
Absolutely not. In some ways, the upper chamber was more dangerous than openness. If you give money, you can buy information anywhere.
This means that the groups that keep the Moyong family in check can also obtain information about this incident if they pay money. Of course, you will have to spend an astronomical amount of money.
If it’s open, it’s immediately dangerous, and if it’s open, it’s a headache.
“It turned out to be fun.”
Even in this critical situation, Prince Moyong did not lose his composure. Rather, he was stroking his beard with an interesting face, and it seemed like he truly thought this situation was interesting.
“Yeonhwa.”
“Your father.”
“I heard that Hugae also came to the last Huji index meeting.”
“I did.”
“Do you think Hugai was friendly with the children of the Yeon family?”
Mo Yong Yeon-hwa thought for a moment and shook her head.
“The probability of that happening is low. “If anything, you might be on guard.”
“On alert?”
“yes. The appearance of Prince Yeon Ho-jeong of the Yeon family at the meeting was excessively fierce and violent. In fact, he almost killed the Jeongeomdanju of the Nangong family.”
“Well, I heard that too. “He’s a great guy at that age.”
“The thing that blocked that hand was Hugae Full Sang. Yeon Ho-jeong seemed to have a crush on Hu-gae, but due to Hu-gae’s personality, it would have been difficult for him to have any favor towards Yeon Ho-jeong.”
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“In that case, it would be even more likely that they would have joined hands with the opening of the country.”
“yes.”
Everyone is wary of people they think are dangerous. If Bujeongsang was watching Yeonga through Yeonhojeong, there is a high probability that he would have been in charge of controlling this information.
“Whatever it is, a problem is a problem. her! “I’m embarrassed to suddenly come out so stiff.”
“Iknow, right.”
It was then.
“A new call has arrived from Hwangpungjeong!”
“What did you say?”
“It is said that the Grand Duke of the Yan family came from Jiangsu Province!”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
“Where did you say you were headed?”
“This is Hanam.”
“…Hanam?!”
Yeonga is located in the southern part of Jiangsu Province. And Henan is in the northwest of Jiangsu Province.
I don’t know when it started moving, but even from the time when information was cut off from my contact, the speed was incredible.
“Why Hanam in this situation? And that quickly?”
There was a look of urgency on Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s face.
“First, we have to make contact.”
“Of course it is.”
Prince Moyong frowned.
‘Why does it take Hanam?’
Since I didn’t know the situation over there, it wasn’t easy to even guess.
Moyong, who was deep in thought, opened his mouth.
“Please contact the famous family immediately. Please tell me the whole situation here. “Tell the Grand Duke of Yeonga that we must contact him at all costs before he does anything foolish.”
“yes!”
* * *
“Huh! “Huh!”
“Are you tired already?”
“That’s what you mean… Cough!”
“Take a breath. “The heir to openness is so weak in stamina.”
Full-sang suddenly got angry.
“You idiot! “You ride a horse!”
“So didn’t you tell me to ride too?”
“A beggar in rags riding a horse? “I wonder if there’s any reason to spread rumors around that I’m a member of an open organization!”
Yeon Ho-jeong was definitely too much.
The two men came to central Jiangsu Province by boat, and from then on, they quickly made their way up to the northern part of the country by land.
The problem was time. I ran to the northernmost part of Jiangsu Province in five days, and except for minimal sleep and rest, I just ran all day.
Moreover, I did not sleep for two days while crossing from Jiangsu to Hanam. This does not mean that Gaeun-sang is acting harshly.
Yeon Ho-jeong said indifferently.
“Think of it as physical training.”
What kind of crazy person would be so ignorant about physical training?
Full-sang fell flat on the spot.
“You can’t go! Even if I beat you to death, I won’t be able to go! “Just kill me!”
“Is it that hard?”
“Are we going to fight now?”
“Let’s go for half a hour more.”
“Hold your stance, you crazy person! Today, one of the two will go to the underworld…!”
“Let’s rest for a few days on base. “I have to wait anyway.”
“…Running a base?”
“Eat as much as you want. “I will buy it.”
Full-sang swallowed his saliva. It’s not that I haven’t been able to eat proper food since I came here.
“If you’re really tired, you can rest here for a few days.”
“…Sipal.”
Full-sang stood up vigorously.
“If you lie again this time, I will chop your teeth off with an ax blade. Do you understand?”
Hee hee hee!
“Let’s go together!!”
The two people, who traveled half an hour further, were able to arrive at Sang-gu, Hanam.
Shanggu was a county close to Anhui, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province. In Hanam, there was a significant floating population to the east.
The two entered a quiet base a little away from the center of the county.
As soon as he sat down, he ate like a glutton. I didn’t care whether people were looking or not.
The faces of people looking at the full statue were full of discomfort. It was worth it when a grumpy beggar came in and ate the food with his bare hands.
However, they could not tell the owner to kick out Gaeun-sang.
thud!
“Oh, please set up that ax properly. “If I get caught, I’ll go to the other person’s goal.”
“I’m sorry. “Just eat what you were eating.”
“Oh, that’s right. “Speaking of which, I would like you to order one more of these.”
A young man with a calm face, propping up the ax that had fallen on the floor against the wall.
A young man who must have been in his twenties now had an ax the size of a human body next to him.
The brutality was no joke. I was even more scared because the young man looked like a civil servant. This is because his slim body lifted the heavy ax with one hand.
So people ate their food with extremely uncomfortable faces.
“Oops! “I ate well.”
“Have you eaten everything?”
“I feel like my stomach is going to explode after eating so much I haven’t eaten in days.”
“They said I ate twelve pounds of pork, but that wasn’t an exaggeration.”
I don’t know how many times I’ve cleaned the dishes. Yeon Ho-jeong was also very active and ate a lot of food, but it was nothing compared to Full-sang.
As if he finally had some free time, he looked around.
“Anyway, did you catch it in a remote place?”
“Because I don’t know what might happen.”
“but. But this place is also great. “Even though it is a remote place, there are still people there.”
“Have you never been to this town?”
“I stopped by once a long time ago. “I literally only stopped by for a short time, so I can’t even remember.”
“Right.”
Full-sang’s face became oddly serious.
“So how long are you planning to stay here?”
“Until the other party comes.”
“Recklessly?”
“It won’t take long. “If only openness had better controlled information.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
“No worries.”
“Yes, it’s understandable that Mo Yong-se’s side, who don’t know anything about the situation here, will be in trouble. “In the meantime, it is said that the Prince of Yeonga has appeared in Hanam, so he will try to contact us somehow.”
“We still don’t know which of the two families will approach first.”
Mo Yong-se and Myeong-ga.
The Moyong family settled in Hunan Province, and the Myeong family settled in Hechang, Henan.
Full-sang’s eyes calmed down.
“I still don’t know.”
“What do you mean?”
“I know that the Mo Yong family is involved in this because I saw it myself, but…”
“Do you think I would have entrusted the investigation into the famous family for no reason?”
“Well, he is like that too.”
Full-sang leaned his back on the chairman.
There was a subtle suspicion in his eyes as he looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with his arms crossed.
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“Are you still not going to tell me?”
“what?”
“A famous family. “Wouldn’t it be okay if you let me know why they wanted to attack Yeonga and how you found out in advance?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I think the result is more important than the process in this case. “I’ll let you know when I get satisfactory results.”
Full-sang’s eyes became cold.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were the same. The way they looked at each other was not warm at all.
Full-sang, who had been looking at Yeonho-jeong for a while, soon stretched.
“Oh my! I ate and now I feel sleepy. “What about the room?”
“I paid in advance. “I’ll be there later, so go in first.”
“That’s right.”
“Wash up and sleep.”
“Do you think I lost for nothing?”
Just like that, Full Sang quickly entered the room provided by the base.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sipping tea, looked out the window.
‘It’s peaceful.’
Spring was now in full swing. The wind was gentle and the sky was clear.
However, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were dark and cold, contrary to the weather.
‘I came here with Hugae on purpose. It also came quickly and forcefully. If Mo Yong-se knew this, he would be anxious as well.’
Moreover, it was an area far from Honam.
‘I could have sent my subordinates, but I didn’t give them time to think. Prince Moyong is a man who does not move unless he is confident of at least seventy percent.’
It was like that even during the time of the Murim Lord. Thanks to this, Heukjeseong suffered great damage as he fought against Saeumgyo alone.
in other words.
‘The probability of being approached by a famous family is very high.’
The corners of my mouth keep trying to go up.
The Mo Yong family is clearly the enemy. However, the enemy he wanted to destroy first was a famous family.
In other words, his airstrikes were aimed at the Myeong family, not the Moyong family. Anyway, if you shake up the famous family, Mo Yong-se will become more urgent, so that’s it.
‘….’
Just thinking about the famous family makes me want to live better.
Yeon Ho-jeong, clutching her thighs and controlling herself, slowly closed her eyes.
Six days later.
“Are you the grand duke of the Yan family?”
“What are you doing?”
“I heard you speak fiercely, but it seems that’s true.”
A young man in his mid-twenties frowned.
“You came from a famous family. There is someone who wants to see you, so please make some time.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.
“I have to carve out the time I don’t have.”
