Aim for the brightness (5)

“Are you here?”

“yes.”

Song Guk-hyun’s eyes widened.

‘ax?’

Except for his tall stature with an incredibly huge ax hanging on his shoulder, he is a slim young man with a bachelor-like style who does not match that bloody ax at all.

‘What is this?’

Zhuge Munho is a soldier of the Murim Alliance.

The military position is the highest position that can exercise more authority than civil servants depending on the situation. In wartime situations, it is sometimes considered more important than the head of the organization.

Moreover, it is the Murim Alliance. It may be a hasty statement, but it is no exaggeration to say that Zhuge Liang was actually the best practitioner of the Murim Alliance.

But how dare you come into the residence of such a person, openly carrying that hideous axe?

Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Song Guk-hyeon.

‘…!!’

At that moment, Song Guk-hyun almost turned his head without realizing it.

He didn’t put any special effort into his eyes, nor did he radiate murderous energy like Zhuge Literary a moment ago, but his gaze was so intense that it was difficult to face him.

Those eyes seemed to penetrate the person’s heart and analyze every detail. This was the second time in Song Guk-hyeon’s fifty-five years of life that he had seen such mysterious and intimidating eyes.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

A smile whose meaning is difficult to understand. Nevertheless, Song Guk-hyun did not turn his head until the end. It was a matter of pride for Song Guk-hyun, a man before he was a tycoon in the commercial world.

“You have a guest.”

Grrrr.

The air in the room seems to be vibrating strongly.

Even though the voice was not very low, it felt like the air was shaking. Just hearing the voice felt like all the muscles in my body were losing strength.

‘What kind of young man…?!’

An unusual presence. Song Guk-hyeon’s palms, which were covered by his sleeves, began to sweat.

“Say hello. They say this person is Jangju Song Guk-hyeon, the head of the Jungwon Battlefield. “He is a giant who plays a central role in the economy of the Central Plains of his time.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“This is a great person coming.”

thud!

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was leaning the Gwangryongbu against the wall, gave a brief hug.

“My name is Yeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of the Gangdong Yeon family, and he is leading the Murim League’s Murimsa Army. “It is an honor to meet you, Master Jang.”

It was a fairly formal greeting. He was even more polite because he was Zhuge Literary’s guest rather than the other person’s status.

Song Guk-hyeon opened his mouth.

My lips were strangely trembling.

“Song Mora Hao leads the midfield battlefield. “I am even more honored to meet the famous general.”

“That’s too much praise.”

That was the end of the greeting.

Yeon Ho-jeong said to Zhuge Mun-ho.

“I didn’t know a Chinese guest was coming. “I’ll come back next time.”

“No, it’s okay. “I came in because the public conversation with Master Jang is over.”

“Is that so?”

“By the way, what brought you here?”

A faint look of puzzlement appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

He would know that his visit was also due to public affairs. However, asking a question in front of an outsider meant that it was okay to discuss Maeng’s official duties here.

“I’m on my way after receiving news from my intelligence advisor. “I heard that you reported it to the soldier first.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.

“Provincial command assistant?”

“…!”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was filled with surprise.

“Are you okay?”

What he meant was whether it would be okay to talk about Shinhwaism here.

Yeonho would have never asked such a question as he was quick-witted. Since it was such a serious issue, they probably wanted to check it one more time.

Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.

“Lord Jang will be staying in Meng for a few days.”

“yes?”

“I think you need to have a lot of conversations with me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his gaze to Song Guk-hyeon.

Song Guk-hyun’s eyes deepened.

‘Really…’

The young master’s eyes changed as he looked down at himself.

From mysterious yet intimidating eyes to extremely indifferent, murderous eyes that don’t even feel cold.

‘You could kill a person with just your eyes.’

Song Guk-hyeon inwardly stuck his tongue out.

Although he was as disciplined as anyone else, it was extremely burdensome to look into Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes. If it weren’t for the internal energy trained through curing techniques and decades of experience, I would have been intimidated by now and was in a cold sweat.

“okay.”

“Now that you are here too, Master Jang, I will tell you what brought you all the way to Ye.”

Zhuge Mun-ho described in detail his conversation with Song Guo-hyeon a little while ago.

The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.

“He’s an old man from the Jwapojeongsa… It was worth it for the soldier to throw a bet.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

Song Guk-hyun listened to their conversation in silence.

I wasn’t upset or my pride was hurt. Looking at the brutality felt in the conversation between these two, I could see how serious this issue was.

I was just worried.

‘No matter how much I am the head of the Central Plains, they are discussing top secret information about Maeng in front of me who has no direct connection to this matter.’

Jwapojeongsa adult? Unknown organization?

It was a situation that left that problem behind. What mattered now was what they thought of themselves.

‘Do you want money? Do you want to keep me at all? Or…’

Do you want my life?

Even Song Guk-hyeon, who is quick-thinking, found it difficult to analyze the current situation. This was the reason why I quietly listened to the conversation between the two people, even though I was in a position where no one could help me.

“This matter should not be considered in the same way as the Twelve Warlords Jinmu incident. Although it is acting alone, its location is its location, so it cannot be easily touched.”

“The real problem is if he attacks the Murim Alliance. “In the first place, there is no physical evidence that he is a member of the Shinhwa Church, so if they decide to come in and argue, we will not be able to respond.”

“How much damage do you expect if you catch him?”

“I am Jeong Sam-poom’s provincial commander. At that level, there are greater restrictions on movement than lower-ranking officials. “I’m sure after reporting it to the higher-ups, even the provincial commander will step in.”

“If the provincial commander steps forward….”

“There will be an emergency at the Ogun Provincial Government.”

“That means even the imperial family will be involved.”

“I think there is a greater than 90 percent chance of that happening.”

Song Guk-hyeon’s face hardened.

Capturing the provincial commander? You’re even saying such dangerous things? And in front of yourself, an outsider?

He sensed that the situation was much more dangerous than he thought.

“We are not yet sure that he is from the Shinhwa Church. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see a little more.”

“But we have to assume the worst case and act accordingly.”

“That is also true.”

“I have nothing to say about that. “I should have anticipated the scope to some extent, but I had no idea that it would have even caught the provincial commander.”

“How can you say it’s your fault? “No matter how extraordinary your abilities are, you cannot know what you have not seen and heard.”

“Whatever the reason, it is no wonder what kind of public office they are sitting in now.”

“I think so too.”

“Let me summarize the current situation. “The top priority is not to kill the provincial commanding officer, but to prevent him from entering the Murim Alliance, right?”

“That’s accurate. “We need to put out the fire first.”

“I don’t want to take a one-dimensional approach. “It is urgent to find out his identity first, we must prepare accordingly, and we must go one step further and devise a plan to reach their roots.”

“Do you have any plans in mind?”

“Not yet. But before we can make that plan, there is something we need to take care of.”

“process?”

“yes.”

“Tell me.”

“….”

“why? “Is this something difficult to talk about?”

“That’s right. “I also need to sort things out because I only came up with this idea after coming here.”

“Your creativity and innovation have always amazed me. “I will agree or reject after listening, so please speak without hesitation.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was silent for a moment, spoke about what he was thinking.

“…!!”

Zhuge Li’s eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.

“In order to properly deal with them, you must not be distracted. No, rather, I think it is a miracle in itself that we have brought this fight to this point.”

“….”

“I think… yes.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.

“Commander Yeon.”

“Please speak.”

“Do you really think that’s possible?”

“I guess I’ll have to go and see him in person.”

“The opponent is never easy. And I have to think of just one thing. “Isn’t it for no reason that we brought up the topic of the Three Religions at the Buddhist Council?”

“I know.”

“….”

“If you agree, I will go and find out for myself.”

“I’m not doubting your abilities. But… if he is also connected to the Shinhwa Church, what do you plan to do then?”

“If I see the slightest connection….”

“….”

“I plan to kill him by any means necessary.”

“The opponent is strong.”

“I said I would do whatever it takes. “I trust you will understand what I mean.”

Zhuge Wenhu let out a sigh.

“Is it that much? “The fear of the three religions?”

“yes.”

“You have no idea how surprised I was when I found out that the evil enemies of my Shinhwa religion had infiltrated the government office. However, the enemy’s strength is not yet fully understood. No matter how much I assume the worst, I have to be able to infer it to some extent…”

“Please trust me. “If they attack all at once, even now, the midfield will become hell.”

“….”

Zhuge Mun-ho, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with confused eyes, suddenly turned his gaze to Song Guo-hyeon.

At that moment, Zhuge Wenho’s eyes sparkled.

“Hey Commander Yeon.”

“Please speak.”

“Do you really mean that you came up with that plan when you came here?”

“That’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong also turned his attention to Song Guk-hyeon.

The hidden powers of the Murim Alliance are watching them. Honest tension was revealed on Song Guk-hyun’s face.

After a while, Zhuge Wenhu nodded.

“If Lord Jang allows it… then let’s go on an adventure.”

“Do not worry.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled at Song Guk-hyeon.

“Aren’t I a master of negotiation?”

Cold sweat formed on Song Guk-hyeon’s forehead.

At that moment, he felt both anxious that he had come to a place he shouldn’t be and confident that the adventure of a lifetime was about to begin.

That night.

“hmm?”

Moyong, who was drinking tea, suddenly opened his eyes.

Moyong Yeonhwa asked with a puzzled look.

“Why are you doing this, father?”

“….”

“father?”

“Yeonhwa.”

“Ah yes.”

“I guess we’ll have to postpone this conversation for a while.”

“yes?”

“A quite troublesome guest has arrived.”

A troublesome customer? Who on earth?

Moyong-gun frowned and stood up.

“How could he do that at this late hour? “I didn’t think we would meet again for a while.”

He looked out the window.

hook.

They were two people who recognized each other accurately, even dozens of miles away on a dark night.

Mo Yong-gun’s eye light, which was like a thunderbolt, and Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, which were as hard as steel, collided, sparks flying in the air.

Prince Moyong, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, stretched out his hand towards the wall.

Phew. Slam!

He left the room, holding the treasured sword.
