Episode 993
When I put it down, I saw the sky (10)
After returning to his residence, Yeon Ho-jeong told the two people about his conversation with Zhuge Li.
Of course, since he did not have a clear position, he did not mention specific details as to why he had no choice but to ignore the two people.
He said that it was a situation that had no choice but to come and apologize later when the matter was over.
Kang-ryang chuckled.
“Thank you for the words, but you didn’t have to tell me. “I thought there must be a reason.”
Jinyang grumbled.
“You have become a saint. If you hadn’t told me, I would have kept chewing. “The Baekdo b*stards said there was nothing they could do.”
That’s not just a saying; it was probably true.
Although he had a fundamentally docile personality, he was still a person who stayed in the dark island for a long time. Even if it wasn’t his intention, since he lived in such a harsh world, he couldn’t help but develop antipathy towards Baekdo.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and got up from the table.
“Take care of your weapons.”
“yes?”
The two people looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with puzzled eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“why?”
“Let’s play another round of bimu? Well, our welcome was a bit rough, right? Still, until the rematch….”
“It was a match without any merit, so what are you talking about?”
“I was wondering if I might get beaten up.”
“Stop talking nonsense and get up. “Let’s go make a fuss.”
Let’s go play a game.
It was truly a remark worthy of Yeonhojeong, but it was also a ruthless remark unsuited to this moment.
Jinyang asked with puzzled eyes.
“What are you talking about? “What do you mean, you’re a b*stard?”
“Aren’t you going to get angry?”
“…?”
“There are people who openly insulted you in front of you, so you just leave it alone? “I need to feed him a refreshing meal.”
The two people’s eyes widened.
“older brother! That’s okay!”
“No… but it can be done…”
Kang-ryang looked at Jin-yang with eyes full of criticism.
Jinyang opened his eyes and said.
“why? Did I say something I couldn’t do? “Honestly, it was a situation where it wouldn’t be strange to draw a sword and decide between life and death.”
“That’s what I’m going to say now!”
“Hey, you’re a descendant of a demon sword? “Isn’t the black sword prestigious?”
“Why are you talking about that now?!”
“You have to come out, b*stard!” Still, does this guy who comes from a prestigious black school have no pride? Baekdo Saennim also said that if they were insulted, they would use a knife to solve it. “It is common sense that black people beat up their in-laws and cousins.”
“Where in the world is such absurd common sense? And now we are in the Murim Alliance! “You can’t get into an accident!”
“You spoke well. Who are you to tell the difference between causing an accident and not causing an accident? “Are you smarter than the captain?”
Kangryang had no choice but to hesitate.
First of all, he flinched when he heard the word ‘captain’ and had nothing to say in response to Yeon Ho-jeong’s scolding that he was smarter than him.
Jinyang, too, must have been surprised at himself calling Yeon Ho-jeong “captain” without hesitation. He muttered a word and continued speaking again.
“I guess I said it was okay so let’s go. Isn’t that right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
“It’s a huge bore.”
“Regardless of that, if you are insulted for no reason, it is not wrong to use your sword as a warrior.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said while looking at Kang Ryang.
“Murimmaeng is also a part of the martial arts group. As Jinyang said, if the warriors of the Baekdo political faction feel that they have been insulted, they urge them to apologize, and if they do not apologize, they sometimes argue with each other about fault. “That is the common sense of a strongman.”
Still, Kang Ryang seemed uneasy.
Yeon Ho-jeong understood that kind of strength.
Kang Ryang was originally a prosecutor with a strong character. It still is.
However, he is hesitating because of his relationship with Yeon Ho-jeong.
For Kang Ryang, Yeon Ho-jeong was his benefactor who took him out of the swamp and saved him. If he had not formed a relationship with Yeon Ho-jeong, he would not have been able to become this strong, and he would have died at the hands of Yang Cheon and become a widow.
Even if he is rude to everyone else, he can never do anything that will harm Yeon Ho-jeong. Such feelings were what made Kang Ryang hesitate.
Yeon Ho-jeong fed chestnuts to Kang Ryang’s head.
“You b*stard, even if I take care of things, I won’t do it. Is it time for you to worry about me? “Aren’t you angry?”
“Of course… I’m upset.”
“There are many people who increase their strength for their own perfection, but most people increase their strength to avoid living without being ignored by anyone. That’s the essence of power.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to Kang Ryang’s sword with his chin.
“The sword is crying.”
“….”
“I endured it well enough. “Now is the time to let out the tantrum.”
Kang Ryang, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, soon sighed heavily.
“Damn it, why did those b*stards bother us?”
He said that, but only then did a sincere smile appear on Kang Ryang’s face.
Of course, he also wanted to tell the truth like Jinyang. If possible, directly to the people who insulted him.
How could I not be happy that this opportunity has come?
“then Let’s go. Let’s go and pluck out those rotten eyeballs that dared touch someone they shouldn’t.”
Jinyang grumbled.
“Why are you leaving like that again? No eyeballs. “There’s really no middle ground in that.”
“Then let’s take out the tongue.”
“You crazy b*stard.”
* * *
Jeokchangmun (赤槍門) was a 100-year-old sect that had been active near Uichun, Gangseo for generations.
Hundreds of sects were born every day, and just as many sects disappeared every day. The fact that they were able to survive in such a place for over a hundred years and become famous in the region meant that they possessed such strong power.
Of course, power alone was not enough for fame. Of course, he needed to be able to manage his surroundings, have financial resources, and be able to embrace the public sentiment.
In that respect, Jeokchangmun could be said to be a unique sect.
Although Jeok Chang-mun belonged to the Baekdo political faction, he did not correct the public sentiment by putting humanity and righteousness first.
The common people near Uichang received protection from Jeokchangmun, but at the same time, they paid a certain amount of protection tax to them.
The amount was by no means large. From the perspective of the grassroots, it was not a burdensome amount considering safety.
A sect with clear merits and demerits. That was the red window.
In most cases, the advantages of clear construction divisions outweigh the disadvantages. However, there were times when it showed a somewhat negative side.
First, I heard that it was an unrecognized sect.
They never listen to the pain of the grassroots who do not pay protection taxes. This is because it is not a transactional relationship.
Instead, once a business relationship is established, it actively blocks attacks by thieves or back alley thugs. The Red Spear Gate went beyond blocking and attacked the main base and annihilated it.
The grassroots welcomed it. Everyone wanted to sign a contract with Jeok Chang-moon.
But as time passed, things started to turn strange.
If the place where the wicked gathered was destroyed, other wicked people would snoop around and form a faction there.
It was a problem that could not be fundamentally eradicated. At least that was the case in Danggeum Murim.
Jeok Chang-mun even reached out to the back alleys of Uichang to solve the problem. Spear magicians from the sect were dispatched to establish a branch.
As a result, the young people did not dare to aim for Uichang. This was because the power of Jeok Changmun had grown significantly.
But gradually the limit came closer.
In order for a sect to be strong, it needed financial power and network, but it also had to have strong actual military power.
The Jeokchangmun was a strong enough sect, but it had the vague power to go beyond that. Although it was enough to make a name for itself in a region, there was no martial artist who could represent the region.
And fifty years ago, the Black Daoists with strong martial arts raided the branch of the Red Chang Gate.
This was because the Red Changmen had killed the sworn brothers of the Black Islanders.
Moreover, the reason was not because they offended the common people. They dragged him in with the intention of cutting him off and executed him.
Naturally, his close friends took revenge, and three branches of the Red Spear Gate collapsed in one day.
Jeok Changmun prepared for war.
So the masters of the Black Island and Jeok Chang-mun fought for over 15 days, and the result was Jeok Chang-mun’s victory.
But the damage was too great.
The power of the black sword masters, called Namrang Osaldo (南狼五殺刀), was stronger than expected. Several branches collapsed and many disciples died. The three elders of Jeokchangmun and the lord’s grown children also died.
As a result, the power of Jeok Changmun was greatly reduced. The grassroots were also saddened by the damage suffered by those in a contract relationship, but at the same time, an idea could not help but sprout.
Even red window doors are not safe.
Although safety was guaranteed for a reasonable amount, they eventually realized that it was inevitable that they would fall to the invasion of stronger experts.
In addition, the common people who were unable to sign a contract because it was difficult to make a living each day, saw the damage caused by Jeokchangmun and pointed their fingers at the words of warriors who had no mercy or humanity.
Uichang became a mess.
Afterwards, his power grew again through his hard work, but Jeok Changmun’s power was no longer the same as before. It has become just one of the common small and medium-sized sects.
The grassroots also did not want to sign a contract with Jeokchangmun. This is because many of the common people who signed the contract died because of the war.
Since then, Jeok Changmun’s anger toward the Black Island Sapa has soared through the sky.
He raised his power through the principles and martial arts that had been passed down from his ancestors, but lost his glory after becoming entangled with the black people who were from the ranks of robbers. I couldn’t help but feel angry.
In this way, Jeok Chang-Moon established himself as a hard-line anti-black faction, one of the few among the white political factions. He went so far as to dispatch warriors to matters related to the Black Island without even caring about their lives.
Furthermore, because they actively accepted warriors who were anti-Heukdo, the current Jeokchangmun has reached a point where it is no longer possible to live under the same sky as the Heukdo.
And now.
In the Murim Alliance, Jeokchangmunju and his top subordinates, Honghwachilsu (紅花七手) and thirty young masters, were gathered together.
The person who caused the accident was a man named Ha Jeong-woong (河定雄), the leader of the young masters.
“What did you say just now?”
Jeokchangmunju Habeon suppressed his rising anger and asked back.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s words were simple.
“I told you to bring the warrior who insulted me.”
Haban’s eyes trembled.
The opponent was King Yeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of the Yeon family, Sobuju of the Mukryongbu, and furthermore renowned as the youngest Seongcheon.
Even if it is not Jeokchangmunju but the grandfather of Jeokchangmunju that comes, it is massacre. Even if the forces of the three Red Changmun branches joined forces and attacked if they wanted to, they would be annihilated.
The expert of Cheonoecheon, a powerful force outside the world, has appeared.
It was clear that Haban’s mental strength was considerable in that he was able to overcome his instinctive fear and instead feel anger in the face of a natural disaster.
“What are you doing this for?”
“What happened?”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked briefly.
With that one word, the atmosphere became cold. Anxiety appeared on the faces of not only Habeon but also the Honghwa Chilsu who were standing behind him.
“I didn’t tell you. “Bring in the warriors who ‘insulted’ you.”
“….”
“I’m disappointed if you didn’t know.”
“Hey, Sobuju.”
“In order to prevent the black and white alliance from breaking up, I have come to resolve the anger between the parties by fighting each other. No way…”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked with a smile.
“Are you the one who wants the union between the Black Island and the White Island to be broken now that the war with the Three Religions is just around the corner?”
“…!”
“I know you’re not that thoughtless. Because public and private life must be separated. “Isn’t that one of the ultimate values that Red Chang Gate has maintained since its inception?”
Habern’s face turned white.
The smile disappeared from Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“Bring him.” right now.”
