Episode 833
Master of the Three Worlds (8)
Early morning.
Daebyeolsan Mountain, which was otherwise white, boasted a bright presence even in the darkness due to the heavy snow that fell all night.
“Feel so good.”
Snow falling heavily without wind.
A smile appeared on Moyong’s face as he looked out the window at the snow.
“It is truly beautiful. “If it were less cold, I would be able to enjoy this wonderful sight more comfortably.”
Although I was able to escape the heat and cold by reaching the state of invulnerability to the cold and cold, it meant that I literally did not suffer from the temperature, but it did not mean that I could not feel it at all.
“The weather is good for a quiet walk.”
After looking at his eyes for a while, Mo Yong put his hands on the table.
“Okay then.”
It was then.
“hmm?”
Mo Yong-gun was able to read the presence of a person approaching through the pouring snow.
Mo Yong smiled bitterly.
“It’s really sharp.”
After a while.
“Can I come in?”
“Please come in.”
Sigh.
The door opened and Zhuge Wenhu came in.
Moyong said with a grin.
“Did you come all the way to Ye for some reason after the holiday had passed?”
“It’s cold.”
It wasn’t an answer to the question.
Zhuge Mun-ho, who was shaking off the snow that had accumulated on his shoulders and head, suddenly saw his luggage neatly placed in the corner of the room.
‘….’
Zhuge Munho, who was looking at the luggage for a moment, touched his hands and said.
“It was quite cold on the way here. Can I have a cup of tea?”
“There is no tea, but there is leftover alcohol.”
“Alcohol is good too.”
Prince Moyong came carrying a bottle of liquor and two glasses.
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes widened.
“It’s broad daylight.”
“exactly.”
“Did you enjoy the cheap white liquor?”
“I used to drink it once in a while because of a certain rich man. “I drank a lot of it before it closed, but after I left, I couldn’t handle it much.”
“I see.”
“There is no other alcohol besides this, so if you don’t want to drink it…”
“No, it’s okay.”
“There’s nothing better than this to keep your body warm.”
Mo Yong-gun filled Zhuge Wenhu’s cup and his own cup.
The two people lifted their glasses without clinking them and brought them to their mouths.
“nice!”
Zhuge Wenho’s face became distorted.
“This is particularly poisonous.”
“It’s probably even worse because it’s cold.”
“It makes my stomach ache.”
“I can’t drink it often.”
Mo Yong-gun filled his and Zhuge Mun-ho’s cups again.
It was quite dark in the room with only one lamp on. Still, since it was placed next to the table, it wasn’t difficult to see each other’s faces.
Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.
“He came to see me three days before he left the building.”
“It did.”
“In other words, we can say that the actual opening date is not the opening date that everyone knows, but three days before that.”
“….”
“Is that correct?”
Moyong smiled bitterly.
“What do you want to say?”
“Even if it is closed, there is no problem with people coming and going. This is especially true within the Murim Alliance, where there are many private rooms in forests and open spaces.”
“….”
“Also, just because it is closed, there is no need to survive only on Byeokgokdan and water. That’s too old-fashioned, and these days, everyone knows that it’s beneficial to practice rationally by getting nutrition from simple food and building up your stamina.”
“….”
“Who brought you the food?”
“Well, let’s come. “I don’t remember.”
“It looks like you were out of your mind. Do you remember anyone coming and going?”
“Of course.”
“Where is your daughter?”
Mo Yong-gun’s gaze, which was looking at the cup, shifted to Zhuge Mun-ho.
Zhuge Li’s shaded face looked strangely lifeless, like the skin of a stuffed animal.
“Where are your descendants?”
“….”
“The people the matriarch kept closest are no longer seen around.”
“….”
“But when did that start? Three days ago? Or was it a month ago? Or was it from when the Moyong family head closed down?”
Prince Mo Yong watched Zhuge Wenhu in silence.
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes grew deeper and deeper.
“I saw the entry and exit records of the Murim League. There has been no record of your daughter coming to the hospital for the past few months. “The only records left were of a long time ago.”
“I think I should record that as well.”
“of course.”
“As expected, be meticulous.”
“There is one record of your daughter joining the league from a very long time ago, and there is a record of an independent warrior with the surname Eon joining the union three weeks after the family home closed.”
“….”
“Was that hellish time three weeks? Or was it several months?”
“A few months.”
“Then…”
“But I must admit that the first three weeks were the most painful and hellish.”
“….”
“Every day felt like a year. “It’s not something I would say to a soldier, but I was so anxious and defeated that I even attempted suicide.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered for the first time.
If a person continues to be immersed in one emotion alone, he or she will end up doing things that would normally be unthinkable.
Moyong-gun emptied his glass alone.
“That’s when I realized. “It is just nonsense to say that time is fair to everyone.”
“….”
“For some people, the same day can be half a day, and for others, it can be a year or ten years.”
A voice that somehow sounds tired.
Just thinking about the brutal period of reflection at that time seemed to make him sick of it. The mental pain that was so extreme that it was burdensome to even think about it was something that Zhuge Liangzi had never experienced.
“What did you do after three weeks of reflection? “Have you trained in martial arts?”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“It feels like I’m being interrogated.”
Zhuge Wenhu took out a neatly folded letter from his arms.
“What is this?”
“Please read it.”
Prince Moyong slowly opened the letter and read it, then burst into laughter.
“It’s amazing.”
“….”
“After a while? Or the Dragon Head Ark?”
“It’s a hindsight.”
“I really thought that I would have a hard time in the future because of my weak and vague sense of justice, but I had no idea that Yongdu Ark’s eye for people was so outstanding. “Are we already here?”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
To be honest, I thought he would deny it. Or I thought I would be embarrassed.
At the same time, I thought it would show more than expected. After the closure, Moyong-gun definitely showed a different appearance than before.
But I never thought I would admit it so easily.
“Since when?”
Prince Moyong answered honestly.
“Do you remember the operation in which that guy Yeon Ho-jeong was dispatched to the Mukryongbu as Sejak?”
“of course. The head of the Moyong family also went to Honam as an administrator at that time….”
“….”
“Surely from then on?”
“It was before that. At that time, I went down there and managed the operation team while also receiving information through merchants. We were transporting various supplies from Honam to Gwiju. Gwiju Sanghoe was one of them.”
“…!!”
“That was the first time I received information. “How much money has been raised?”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“I didn’t know at the time. I never thought that Yeonhojeong b*stard would bring the inkryongbuju and hit me in the back. This is the first time in my life I have encountered such an outrageous scheme. “I really thought my life was flying away.”
Zhuge Wenhu felt his heart beating strongly.
After trying hard to calm his mind, Zhuge Liang emptied his glass.
“What the matriarch said is correct.”
“hmm?”
“The cold is going away. “It makes me sweat.”
“Haha, is that right?”
Mo Yong-gun filled Zhuge Li’s cup again.
Zhuge Wenhu took the bottle and filled Mo Yong-gun’s cup. Mo Yong-gun smiled and accepted the cup.
“It has collapsed now, but the head of the family also joined hands with the Mukryongbuju.”
“I knew it, but it was an open secret that I tried to keep quiet.”
Zhuge Wenhu swallowed slightly.
“How far were you planning on taking the game?”
“It’s not important to compete. Even if it happens, will it be compared to that guy in Yeonhojeong?”
Moyong-gun leaned back in his chair.
Mo Yong’s shadow-filled face, slightly distant from the light, looked like a mask split in half.
“My goal has always been the Murim lord.”
“….”
“I could have done anything for that one position. “Not only did he have no hesitation in bringing in other forces, but also in reaching out to places that people were not paying attention to, such as clans or top tier.”
“Yes, I know.”
“No, the military won’t know. “What did I almost do?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes became cold.
“I… even thought about joining hands with the Three Religions to become the Murim Lord.”
“…!!”
Zhuge Wenho’s face hardened.
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“It was only for a moment, but it did. If you think about it, it doesn’t even sound like words. Would you join hands with them knowing what kind of people they are? “Aren’t you lucky if they don’t try to eat me?”
“…Moyong family head.”
“Their power is real. “I only fought with a small portion of that power, but I couldn’t even imagine how big the main body was.”
“….”
“I thought I could control those guys with my resourcefulness.”
“….”
“It was overconfidence and arrogance. “There are so many foreigners that it wouldn’t be a problem to beat them to death, but there are so many experts, so would you write that they are brainy people?”
“…I guess so.”
“And apart from everything else.”
hook!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold. The subtle sharpness that Mo Yong gave out was that sharp.
“The very act of joining hands with arrogant invaders was something I could not bear. Would you rather give up your dream of becoming the Murim Lord or join hands with those who are worse than beasts?”
Prince Moyong’s hatred toward the three religions had a strangely blind tendency. In fact, although he did not know them as well as Yeonhojeong, he hated and despised the three religions even more than Yeonhojeong.
And Zhuge Wenhu knew where Mo Yong’s hatred came from.
It may be because of the bloody and tearful past that is deeply embedded in the history of the Moyong clan.
In other words, it could be seen that the position of Murim lord was difficult for Mo Yong-gun to give up, to the extent that he even for a moment considered joining hands with an external enemy he despised so much.
“So you gathered your strength?”
“I’ve been gathering strength since I was young. “My dream started from the moment I became the head of the family.”
Moyong chuckled as if it was fun.
“The main family’s struggle to become the head of the family is on a different level from that of other families or clans. “In order to occupy the position of leader, all kinds of tricks and schemes are rampant, and betrayals are not hesitated.”
“….”
“Even that person is not a stranger, but a blood relative. “You are stabbing me in the back with a knife in my blood.”
“….”
“You and I are bound to be different. “I only became aware of this after becoming the head of the family.”
Zhuge Mun-ho, who was looking at Mo Yong-gun, suddenly asked.
“Have you given up on your dream of becoming a Murim lord?”
“People are different from animals. You had a lifelong dream, but instead of achieving it, you gave up without even touching the Taesa? “That’s what people who don’t know how to live do.”
Zhuge Li’s eyes sparkled with fire.
“Then what is that group in Jiangxi Province? Do you plan to use all the military force and financial power you have cultivated over a long period of time to confront the Murim Alliance by any means possible in order to become the Murim Lord?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Mo Yong laughed out loud.
“Do you really think that is my own strength?”
“What if I do it?”
“It’s not my connection. “It is not my strength.”
“…?”
“It is the power of the weak who have been marginalized and ignored. I just took advantage of it.”
“…!!”
