Episode 790
Hegemony of the Black Path (1)
“Let us all prepare and gather in front of our father’s room.”
“Let’s do that.”
“And Kangryang, let me see.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who sent the group away, sighed as he looked at Kang Ryang.
“sorry.”
Kang-ryang tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s about the marriage of Lord Mukryong.”
“…huh?”
“To you, Vice Minister Yang is the enemy of Cheolcheon. “If Vice President Yang marries Princess Cheonghwa, your revenge will be much more difficult.”
“ah?”
Kang-ryang scratched his head.
“You didn’t think of that?”
Yeon Ho-jeong almost stumbled for a moment.
Kang-ryang shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, you have to have skills to take revenge anyway. Even if you reach the level of martial arts, if you don’t have the skills to rival Yang Cheon’s, you won’t be able to touch him.”
“That’s true.”
“And I think you misunderstand something.”
“huh?”
“At the moment, Yangcheon is a big player who has a huge influence on the midfield situation. Even if you have the skills, wouldn’t killing Yang Cheon right now lead to everyone’s destruction?”
“….”
“I am not so foolish as to shake the peace of the world because of personal revenge.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“But isn’t he an enemy of your family?”
“That thought is always deep in my heart.”
“….”
“The end of Yang Cheon’s life is my responsibility. It could be ten years or twenty years later. I ‘get’ it deep down.”
Kang-ryang smiled. It was a laugh without any selflessness.
“So you don’t have to worry about that. “If you really want to do it, can’t you just scrap it off later without anyone knowing?”
“…Ugh.”
“When everything is over, if I want help then, you must help me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded heavily.
“Yes, I will definitely do that.”
Kang Ryang hit Yeon Ho Jeong in the chest.
“Why are you taking this so seriously? It’s a joke. It’s a joke. Revenge is best achieved with my own hands. “No matter what the situation, you won’t need help from me, so don’t worry.”
“No, you made the situation difficult, but you should give them some help.”
“The situation was difficult from the beginning. “It became more difficult because of someone, because of someone I couldn’t find the right time… These are all just excuses.”
Kang Ryang coldly shook his head.
“Revenge is my personal business. Brother, please push forward without hesitation as you wish. Once the world becomes stable, then it will be my time. “You just need to know that.”
“….”
“Of course, you have to build up your skills first.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Yes, I understand how you feel.”
“Anyway, what happened to me? “I was scared for no reason.”
Kangryang, who was complaining, asked in a quiet voice.
“Anyway, what are you going to do?”
“what?”
“I care about that gentleman Yangcheon a lot, but I don’t think he will ever accept me with a smile this time.”
“Even in the past, I didn’t treat him with a smile.”
“The cases are different. At that time, the man was not in good health and the atmosphere of the dark island itself was based on the perception that the person who suffered was an idiot, so it was something that could be taken into account to some extent… but this time is completely different, isn’t it?”
“The perception that the person who got hit is a fool remains the same.”
“But Yang Chen’s faith in his brother has become stronger than before. “The feeling of betrayal must be significant.”
“Feeling betrayed?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“That guy doesn’t trust me. “I just feel sorry.”
After finishing preparations, Yeon Ho-jeong had a quite deep conversation with Yeon Wi.
Immediately after that, he had an audience with the emperor and had another visit and conversation. No one knew what conversation he and the emperor had.
And so the night deepened again.
Yan Wei and Peng Wujiang Zhuge Yan went to the outer castle of the imperial palace to see them off.
“Always take care of yourself.”
“yes.”
Peng Mu-gang handed Yeon Ho-jeong a gold bag.
“You can only handle urgent matters wisely if you have a strong stomach. “Don’t go too hastily and buy something delicious on the way.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“I guess I’ve become a really big man after receiving an allowance from the head of the Yuk family.”
“Hey man. “Looking at our immediate reputation, I wonder if all our families combined would be comparable to yours. What nonsense?”
It wasn’t wrong. It is no exaggeration to say that Yeonhojeong’s name has reached the level of sacrosanct and inviolable territory, as his name has been listed in the Holy Heaven.
Regardless of how many people actually believed in it, the reputation itself was a great power to Yeon Ho-jeong.
Zhuge Yan asked.
“When will you be back?”
“well?”
“It would be better to come back as soon as the work is completed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Because of the leadership election?”
Zhuge Yan nodded.
“There isn’t much left for this year. “As the year goes by, there will be talk of a leader election even among the leadership.”
“…I guess so.”
“The difference between having you and not having you will be enormous. “You must come.”
“You’re not saying this because you miss me, right?”
Bye!
“Ugh!”
Yeon Ho-jeong let out a groan without realizing it. The pain coming from my shins was much sharper than I expected.
Jegal Zinc’s saliva taps! I spat it out.
“Stop talking nonsense and come home safely.”
“Do not use violence. sick.”
“You’re laughing.”
At that time, Ki Woo-hee said.
“I will stay here.”
Everyone looked at Ki Woo-hee.
Ki Woo-hee blushed slightly, but opened his mouth confidently.
“I thought about it until the end… but I also can’t leave my patients behind.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Senior Makwon?”
“You’ll be okay. Still, if there’s a problem…”
Ki Woo-hee took out something neatly wrapped in black cloth from his arms and handed it to Yeon Ho-jeong.
“It’s a pill. The measures against the patients here will be completed within five days, and then I will return to the village with the family owners. “It is unlikely, but if he is in danger, please contact the Murim Alliance immediately.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Ki Woo-hee, nodded.
“Okay, if that’s what you mean, I won’t bother to stop you.”
Ki Woo-hee laughed bitterly.
“thank you. And I’m sorry. “I’m being stubborn for no reason.”
“The other lawmakers haven’t arrived yet, right? Since you are in charge of their treatment, you must take responsibility until the end. “It’s natural.”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke into the air.
“Congressman Ki will return to the Murim Alliance, so you can all return to the Vice Lord.”
Ki Woo-hee also opened his mouth.
“Thank you so much.”
But the Mukryongdae remained steadfast.
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“It looks like they will escort us all the way to the Murim Alliance.”
“…yes.”
Full-sang said as if he had been waiting.
“Master may have gone to the next town for a while. “I will contact you separately, so don’t be too upset.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“See you later.”
“I’ve never seen anyone busier than Opening Hugae. Shoot in moderation. “If you come to Maeng, let’s have a nice drink.”
“I’m fine.”
The atmosphere was roughly organized.
Yeonwi said.
“Let’s see each other again in peace.”
“Take care until we see you again.”
“okay.”
“then.”
After saying their final greetings, Yeon Ho-jeong and his party left the palace gate.
Unlike when they came back, they were dressed quite lightly. There was no need to disguise themselves since they were on their way back to Mukryongbu.
How far did it go like that?
Hiss!
Yeon Ho-jeong felt something flying behind her and stretched out her hand.
chin!
What was caught in Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand with a heavy sound was a fairly large jar of liquor.
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head.
In the distance, in front of the outer wall of the imperial palace, there was a gok-gyeong drinking alcohol. The sight of holding the entire small jar and drinking it was very exciting.
The distance is too far, so it is not suitable for conversation. Gok-gyeong also looked at Yeonhojeong, then quickly turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Gok-gyeong’s back, opened the complex.
At that moment, a heavy scent flowed out. It was a drink from the West Station that we drank together before.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“It’s embarrassing.”
The complex was cool. It seemed like they had adjusted the temperature in their own way.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who lit a fire inside with a sip, handed the jar to Muk-bi.
“Take turns taking a sip. “It is a rare drink.”
Muk-bi frowned after taking a sip, but Kang-ryang and Jin-yang made a fuss. He seemed to really like the strong, heavy taste of alcohol.
“Now, let’s run… Hey, you b*stards! “Don’t drink it all!”
* * *
Paaaaang!
“Whoa.”
Yang Cheon, out of breath, relaxed his posture.
His body, with his upper body fully exposed, was truly a work of art. Although he was not very tall and bulky, his perfectly formed muscles were full of strength that put his age to shame.
‘It’s strange.’
I had been feeling itchy for a few days, and even drinking couldn’t help it. So, since yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I practiced to the point where my entire body was thoroughly wet, and the itchiness seemed to disappear.
But when I stopped practicing, the itchiness started again.
‘I don’t feel very good.’
A strange feeling as if hundreds of spiders were crawling up my back and spreading throughout my body.
It was unpleasant and unsettling.
Hahaha!
The energy released in an instant blew away the sweat droplets flowing down my body in all directions.
Yang Chen frowned.
“It’s definitely not a place to stay for long.”
The Mukryongbu was still wide. Now that construction was completed, it was safe to say that it was truly a huge underground world.
But maybe because I don’t see sunlight often, I feel frustrated every now and then. The air flows well, but just breathing doesn’t mean we live well.
“I was thinking about moving anyway.”
This huge underground cave was intended to be used as a prison for the Mukryongbu to be built in the future.
In fact, construction progressed accordingly. The place where the vice-owner and the leaders live will be the room where the prison wardens and guards live.
After looking around for a while, Yangcheon returned to his residence.
After taking a clean bath and changing his clothes, he headed to Daejeon.
“My lord.”
“Are you here?”
White Paper bowed his head.
“Would you like to report the work later?”
Yang Chen smiled.
The white paper was a good one. There are not many subordinates who can guess the mood of the day just by the mood, facial expression, and voice of the lord.
“It’s okay. “Let’s have a drink and listen to the report.”
“All right.”
The report that day was as plain as before.
Heukdo Murim was quite quiet. The powers that were said to be powerful in the Black Island were also putting themselves on the spot after the alliance was concluded.
“There is a surplus in the budget. “How should we handle this…”
“Invest in the intelligence group.”
Yang Cheon’s will was firm.
“Information is power. We haven’t shown our teeth properly, but our intelligence power is ahead of the political faction. But that’s not enough.”
“….”
“When we reach a level where we can completely overwhelm with information power, we will be able to bring down a large mountain with less force.”
“So, how much of the budget stated in this document do you plan to invest?”
“entire.”
“…!”
“The more unstable the situation, the more bold investments are needed. “The headquarters has sufficient operating funds anyway, so there will be no difficulties in making a living.”
“All right. “If you do, I will proceed as is.”
“I see. ah! And…”
Yang Chen tilted his head.
“Have you received any communication from the imperial palace?”
“Not yet.”
“I see.”
Yang Chen, resting his elbow on the armrest, lifted his glass with a drowsy look.
“It’s going to be a bit of a rush because of the Murim Lord election. When will he come?”
