Episode 733
Three-way match (1)
Hook!
Although the killing intent was gone, the sense of intimidation emanating from Gok-gyeong’s body became even stronger.
The unique sharp eye glow and the cold aura that depletes a person’s mind just by being next to him have disappeared.
What remained there was a martial arts giant with only one absolute belief.
“You have great insight.”
Why?
Perhaps because the atmosphere has changed, the tone of speech also seems to have subtly changed.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s a fact that can be hidden even if you hide it. “I thought that old man had raised one student well, but now I see that it wasn’t to that extent.”
Gok-gyeong revealed himself honestly.
In a situation where a fierce battle of wits and wits is essential, Gok-gyeong revealed himself honestly.
This was not because he lacked ability. As he said, Yeon Ho-jeong had already reached the answer and wouldn’t believe it even if he hid it clumsily.
But Gokgyeong was also not ordinary.
“You must be hiding something from me.”
“….”
“Tuwang Yangcheon is a person with great ambition before his skills. If I had raised a student the size of you, I’m sure I would have chosen one of two things: bragging about it everywhere or hiding it all the way. Even if we reveal it, there is no way we would dispatch it to a place that receives this much attention.”
“….”
“That doesn’t seem like you’re lying, but who the hell are you…”
“Yeonhojeong.”
“…?!”
Sigh!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who planted the Woldo sword in the ground, struck down the sword with great restraint.
“He is the eldest son of the Gangdong Byeoksan Yeonga and the leader of the Murim Alliance’s Uijeonggun, and is currently serving as a specially appointed deputy of the Mukryongbu Yonga Cheolgidan.”
Gok-gyeong’s mouth opened slightly.
“The best review index in the world?”
“It’s an embarrassing title.”
“…I heard you handle an axe?”
“Axes and knives, that’s it.”
“crazy.”
Gok-gyeong stuck out his tongue.
“For some reason, he noticed me with a temper and said it wasn’t normal. But I’ve never heard of a rumor that a military leader opened a martial arts performance.”
“It was a while ago. “There was no reason to announce it to the public.”
While speaking calmly, Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Gok-gyeong’s expression.
Surprisingly, Gok-gyeong was not upset even though his opponent had deceived him. Rather, he nodded as if he finally understood, and at first glance he seemed to feel relieved.
He seemed to be better than Yang Cheon’s disciple.
‘Of course.’
Gok-gyeong asked.
“You were chosen to be in charge of the alliance between Mengbu?”
“exactly.”
“Who else was there?”
“I have one.”
“You are the one?”
“exactly.”
“It’s amazing.”
It is natural for a person with outstanding ability to be selected as the leader of an alliance. However, considering the black and white goals, more than one person should be selected, not just one.
However, the fact that he was shouldering this responsibility alone meant that Yeonhojeong’s character and ability gave him great trust regardless of whether he was white or black.
Gok-gyeong shook his head.
“What on earth happened after I left Moorim?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
‘I don’t know.’
It meant that they knew the overall situation of Tanggeum Gangho, but were unable to look into the details.
If it’s obvious, it’s obvious. He was a man of the emperor, not of the empress and grand dame. If he was secretly working under the Son of Heaven, he must have been very busy.
“If we didn’t have a common enemy, we would have just caught it and watched. But…”
“….”
“There must be no other reason why Mengbu formed an alliance.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“Are you targeting the Three Bridges?”
Hahaha!
Intense murderous energy emanated from Gok-gyeong’s body. It was not a life for Yeonhojeong, but a life for the Samgyo.
“The weakening of the empire’s power is due to self-inflicted efforts. Also, no matter how many laws there are, in the end, the world is a world of jungle. The empire had several opportunities to suppress the power of Wulin. “It is entirely the fault of previous emperors who missed it and wasted national power through hedonism.”
Although he called himself the ruler of the world, his criticism of Tang Jin’s ancestors was ruthless.
This was the moment when it became clear that Gok-gyeong was acting only for Emperor Tang Jin, not for the empire.
‘Is it because I am a martial artist?’
I couldn’t figure it out until then.
Gok-gyeong continued.
“However, it is okay if it is a power struggle within the continent, but it is a different story if it is an invasion by a foreign power. Idiots who don’t know anything bring in power from outside to take advantage of the immediate power struggle, but that’s no different from bringing in a tiger with a taste for humans to slaughter a fox.”
“….”
“The current imperial palace is like that. The problem is the lack of basic knowledge about the opponent. There are some idiots who are confident that they can kill a tiger as big as a mountain with a bow and spear even though it is on their back. “The situation has already reached a point where you can’t see with your eyes open, but you don’t even know whether the enemy is a tiger or a cat.”
The person who brought in a foreign power would be referring to the Crown Prince, and the foolish person who could not understand the other party would be referring to the Empress.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“But the Tae-gam from the beginning….”
“The Tae-gam is not the problem. “The person who brought in Tae-gam is the problem.”
“…?!”
“Prince. “The idiot who was designated as the next emperor gave too much power to a eunuch from a cult.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
It was his first time hearing about this part.
‘Didn’t the Grand Master play with the emperor from the beginning and take the imperial palace as his own?’
Gok-gyeong shook his head.
“The situation is complicated, but ultimately nothing has changed. The Crown Prince and the Empress are just running wild without knowing what to do. Considering the bloodline of the imperial family, the empress is better, but what can you do when you can’t even see the other person properly?”
“….”
“And fundamentally, the real power of the imperial palace must return to His Majesty the Emperor. “If you look at the big picture, the Empress is also just a human being who doesn’t know the subject.”
It was a harsh and direct criticism.
Gok-gyeong’s eyes lit up.
“How about you?”
“….”
“It is safe to say that the current imperial palace and the martial arts world actually share only a few values and live in completely different worlds. However, if the imperial palace is encroached upon by foreign powers, Murim will also be in trouble. “Isn’t that why you care about the imperial palace?”
“That’s right.”
There are many reasons, but the result is like this. Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t bother to make an excuse. There was no reason to make excuses.
Gok-gyeong chuckled.
“It’s nice to be honest. It’s presumptuous and rude, but that’s the same for me, so I’ll move on. “What’s important is what you do next.”
“That is correct.”
“I don’t trust you. But I believe in your identity.”
“….”
“At least we can use each other here and now.”
Just as Yeon Ho-jeong saw through Gok-gyeong.
Gok-gyeong also saw Yeon-ho-jeong quite transparently. It is about seeing the moment of truth before ability.
Unless you have absolute pride in your own skills, it will not be easy to do so.
“The King of Rain….”
“We’ll talk as we go. “It’s too late.”
“Let’s do that.”
Paaaaaaaa!
The two men increased their speed.
The speed of the boat was faster than before, but surprisingly, those who were hiding and chasing it did not have any trouble at all. It was amazing skill.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked while running.
“Then what is the King of Rain?”
Gok-gyeong’s eyes grew cold.
“He wasn’t a midfielder to begin with.”
“…?!”
“Biking Gongsun Baekryong. His actual title is one of the contemporary chief priests of Gwanghyeolgyo (狂血敎). “I don’t know how many priests there are.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face clearly hardened.
“Do you know about the Gwanghyeolgyo?”
“Only a small portion.”
“If you do that, he starts from the beginning…?!”
“The Three Religions have been carrying out all kinds of maneuvers for decades before they invaded the continent. However, even if a sufficient amount of work is done, it is impossible to catch up with the intelligence power of the central government.”
“…!!”
“With his absolute divine law, King Bi caught all kinds of informants, causing confusion in this information network, and on the contrary, he brought valuable information to the Three Churches.”
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong let out an exclamation.
‘Why didn’t I think of it that far!’
Samgyo sometimes didn’t know things that he thought he knew for sure, and he knew things like ghosts that he was confident he would never know.
They may have built their own intelligence system over decades, but this side has been running the best intelligence group for hundreds of years. No matter how great the capabilities of the three religions are, can they keep up with the information power of the open world?
However, they threw the master of light engineering named Biwang into the middle of an information network as complex as a spider’s web.
Speed that is invisible to the eye. A completely different level of light engineering that none of Seongcheon’s masters can match.
It was a new law that could be called the best, not only in its time but also in all times and times, and was shaking up the information network in the Central Plains and at the same time taking away several grains.
That is why the reactions of the three religions were mixed. There was a reason why I didn’t know what I should know or knew what I shouldn’t know.
“Then how many such experts are in the Gwanghyeolgyo Church…?”
“I don’t know. But I don’t think there will be any more. It’s not a thought, it’s a conviction. “If there had been, we would have dispatched everyone right away and devastated this information network.”
This was a question of efficiency. Among the three religions, there is no one who uses divine laws outside the standard as well as King Bi.
That is why the value of the king shines even more.
“Then does the fact that King Bi has now revealed himself mean that there is no more information to steal from here?”
“That’s an overinterpretation. “Because there are very few people who know that King Bi belongs to the three religions.”
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner? If you had asked for assistance…”
“Are you stupid? They are keeping the imperial palace under tight surveillance. “If this side was trying to send information to the Murim Alliance, they would have figured it out a long time ago.”
It’s been a really long time. Being called a fool by others.
“But if you do it, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
“What if there are ganja of the three religions within the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu? “Why do you take the risk and do something like that?”
I became a fool twice.
Maybe it was because so much information came in at once, but my head was spinning. Yeon Ho-jeong fell asleep and cleared his mind.
“Enough chit-chat. First, let’s catch the King’s minions first.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“That’s what it sounded like.”
“hmm?”
“The sound of the senior’s subordinates killing people. “Are the people who died without even being able to scream in the silence of silence the ones under the king’s control?”
Gok-gyeong chuckled.
“You managed to hear it from such a distance. “You’re definitely not normal either.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was about to ask a few more questions, soon gave up and kept his mouth shut.
I had to organize the information so far and calculate what would happen next. Even if I asked more, there didn’t seem to be any information to be revealed.
Gok-gyeong, who was quietly looking at Yeon-ho-jeong, said.
“The king’s speed defies common sense. I’m not the type of guy who would allow a head-to-head match. “If you help me, I can take this opportunity to pluck out one of their eyes.”
“….”
“Decided and help….”
“Damn it.”
A swear word that comes out of nowhere.
Gok-gyeong frowned.
“What is happening all of a sudden?”
“no. “Let’s quickly catch the king of birds first.”
“What?”
“That’s it. “Let’s take care of the task at hand first.”
Anxiety appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
Gokyung said: It is dangerous for the imperial palace to contact the Murim Alliance.
If you say you can do it, you can do it. But there are risks.
And now.
The Empress contacted the Murim Alliance, which responded by sending three solvers to the palace.
Would the Empress be more cautious than Gok-gyeong and her party?
‘father!’
The hand holding the moon sword turned white.
