The beginning of cleaning (1)
Yeon Wei came to Zhuge Munho’s office.
“Military.”
Zhuge Wenhu grinned. You could guess the result just by looking at Yeonwi’s expression.
“You caught it?”
“exactly. “They say the head of the Tang family won.”
“Fortunately, the.”
I boldly told him not to worry and left, but how could I not worry? The opponent was an unknown master, a servant of an organization whose true nature and strength were not known for certain.
But after all, the party hall was the party hall. The King of Poison, who reigned as the loser of Sacheon, was truly amazing.
“I just caught it.”
Yeonwi whetted her appetite.
“They say they couldn’t capture him alive.”
“Is that so.”
“I also didn’t want to be captured alive in the first place, but it looks like they just killed him.”
Zhuge Wenhu laughed.
“You know the personality of the party leader, right? “If Commander Yeon also wanted to be captured alive, he would have made that clear.”
“That is correct.”
“In a situation where you know very little about the opponent’s strength, type of martial arts, etc., if you hastily try to capture them and are counterattacked, you may lose your comrade. “This is better.”
“I think so too.”
“Now the problem is….”
“Moyong family.”
“That’s right.”
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
“Moyonggaju’s resourcefulness is amazing. “It must have been well-cooked and boiled somehow.”
“I believe in Mo Yong-gaju’s abilities, but the problem is that provincial commander Yeo Sang-do doesn’t know the situation. In the unlikely event that Duke Yeo is on the same team as them….”
“Don’t worry. “Because I have thought about that part.”
Zhuge Wenhu opened his eyes wide.
“Is that so? “I also have something else in mind.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“It is not well known, but the integrity and loyalty of Hanam Provincial Commander Yeo Sang-do are remarkable. Moreover, since he is very resourceful, he would not have joined hands with the Shinhwa Church. “Rather, you might be in the middle of a retreat to launch a counterattack.”
“Do you know Yeosang-do?”
“I’ve seen you a couple of times before. “We never had a sad conversation, but it was enough time to get to know what it means to be a person.”
“People always change.”
“Sometimes there are values that never change.”
Seeing Yeonwi being so confident, it definitely seemed like she was not an ordinary person.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded lightly.
“For now, Dang Gaju will wait with Hugae until we get a call from Moyong Gaju. If we are caught in the act of attracting them, then…”
“We have to dispatch them.”
“That’s right.”
Who are they dispatching?
Zhuge Wenhu smiled and stood up.
“If you do, I will go to the public ambassador.”
“Sure.”
Three days later.
“I received a call from the head of the Moyong family.”
A thunderbolt struck Yeon Wei’s eyes as he read the letter handed to him by Zhuge Li.
“also.”
A transaction that could have been difficult was successfully completed.
“Now, once we lure them in and catch them….”
“We’ll go straight into the opening.”
“Good.”
The Yeonwi beat the swordsman.
“I’ll go to the opening section first. “I will ask you to take care of the rest.”
“All right. ah! But have you received any special communication from Commander Yeon? “I’ve been particularly busy lately, so I haven’t yet read the letter from Commander Yeon.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“You mean Gojeong?”
* * *
A hill not far from Heochang, Henan Province.
“Walking around here reminds me of the old days.”
Yeon Ho-jeong put his hand in front of the bonfire and suddenly said something.
Mukbi tilted his head.
“You mean old times?”
“A famous family.”
“Ah, you said it was the best in the world?”
“huh. There was a famous house near here. “It’s almost in ruins now.”
“I heard it was designated as the territory of the Murim Alliance?”
“It must be under construction. There is no word yet on exactly what it will be used for, but at least for the castle, the topography and walls are close to perfect. “It’s too precious to just leave it alone.”
“okay.”
Mukbi grinned.
“How does it feel to be back in the territory of the organization that defeated you?”
“I’m not very impressed. “It’s just a thought that came to mind at that time.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, sparkling in the fire, looked particularly deep.
“I really smashed it to pieces. When I think about it, I was reckless too. “I ran because I was confident that it was possible, but looking back, I realized I went too far.”
“I heard they joined hands with the head of the Moyong family and brought it down.”
“It did.”
What did you think of?
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Well, it’s always been like that. I always made grand plans, but they rarely went as planned. In the end, I think I was busy struggling to make sure that the choice I made went in the right direction.”
“Isn’t that how we all live?”
people say It is said that Yeon Ho-jeong’s insight and wisdom reached the pinnacle of the world.
Yeon Ho-jeong denied that fact.
Of course, he is quick-witted and has the ability to find loopholes. He also did not humbly deny his own strengths.
However, it is not enough to be called a divine mountain. Once I made up my mind, ‘I’m going to do this,’ I didn’t look back.
If it was reckless, it could be called reckless, and if it was driving force, it could be called driving force.
“Even if you’re smart, you can’t see through everything in the world. In that respect, practitioners are great. “I think I know when to use my head and when to rely on my intuition.”
“It’s intuition.”
“Was it like that back then?”
“When I was at Myeongga?”
“no. “It was during the Heukje Castle.”
Heukjeseong.
For Yeonhojeong, it is the past and will not be born in the now changed future. The strongest union of the dark islands.
In a way, it was the brightest moment for Yeon Ho-jeong, who had nothing in common with the current Mukryongbu, from origin to purpose.
“I don’t know.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who quenched his thirst with a sip of water, whetted his appetite.
“Even back then, I was running like crazy. Because it was not an organization created with intention in the first place. “At first, it was just a small gang.”
“Heukje Castle… it’s a grand name. “Did you take the nickname of the practitioner?”
“okay.”
Emperor of darkness.
Darkness means extreme darkness. At the same time, it also meant a dark hell.
The Hell of Darkness is ruled by the Great King of Five Paths and Wheels and refers to the abyss itself where not a single ray of light enters.
It is the last of the ten hells of Buddhism, and depending on the final judgment, one either undergoes reincarnation or falls into darkness.
The hell of darkness is the hell you fall into if you do not have children.
It may seem absurd at first glance, but to be precise, not being able to have children is also a result of past karma, and darkness can be seen as a place to judge that karma.
In other words, the dark hell is a place where evildoers who have been castrated are punished for their biological instinct to reproduce.
So this is the final hell. It was also the reason for being at the crossroads of the final judgment that determines the cycle of life.
And Yeonhojeong traveled across the world, being called by its nickname modeled after that terrifying hell.
He is a man who has lived as the final hell that his enemies must go through.
“Everyone is like that. Anyone who lives in this martial arts world.”
The crackling sound of the bonfire became an instrument that complemented Yeonhojeong’s monotonous voice.
“If swords collide, someone dies. In a life-or-death situation, the winner becomes the final hurdle for the loser. Everyone who has died by my hands so far has not surpassed me. “For them, I was just the last peak they could not overcome.”
“….”
“It’s not a nickname I gave, but that’s how I lived. After being given the nickname Emperor of Darkness, he never lost a battle, even if he didn’t know about war. “It was possible because we had suffered numerous defeats before.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
At first glance, it seemed bittersweet, but at another glance, it seemed full of expectations.
“It’s different now. I don’t want to be called that scary nickname anymore. No matter how much you think about it, the nickname ‘Jeoksanhojang’ seems much better than the dull nickname ‘Emperor of Darkness,’ doesn’t it?”
Mukbi chuckled.
“Yes, of course.”
“If I think about it now, the nickname ‘Emperor of Darkness’ is also funny. The final gateway? That’s bullshit. After all, I am also human. “In fact, I died after being stabbed in the back in the end. What kind of darkness is this?”
“Dang family lord, or rather the party official at the time, did you say he died after being beaten by a sword?”
“It did. Even if I left it alone, it would have died on its own. Well, if he died like that, he would have died well as the Emperor of Darkness in his own way.”
Listening to Yeon Ho-jeong’s words, Mukbi thought. You don’t know how a person’s life will go.
She believed Yeon Ho-jeong’s confession. I completely believed the unbelievable words that he had returned to the past after living for decades.
So I thought. Even such an outstanding and experienced strong man cannot help but be helpless in the face of the great flow of fate.
Life is a race in the dark where you can’t see an inch ahead. In that case, it would be easier to live like Yeon Ho-jeong and do what I can without worrying about what others think.
Mukbi’s eyes deepened as he looked at Yeonhojeong.
‘I am?’
While watching Yeonhojeong, there was something I always thought was great.
He always had a goal. When I achieved a goal, I immediately set another goal and ran.
Some might say that it is an overly difficult life. However, in Mukbi’s opinion, regardless of his harshness, Yeon Ho-jeong was a man who truly knew how to live his life like a human being.
At least Yeon Ho-jeong will not leave behind any regrets in his life, even if he has to worry about the people left before he dies.
Life is to be lived like that.
‘I’m satisfied even now. But will it still be like this later? ‘Could there come a time when I leave to live my own life?’
And what kind of expressions will Yeon Ho-jeong and Yeon Wi make in such a situation?
Mukbi, who was lost in thought, let out a heartless laugh.
“The practitioner has also grown.”
“what?”
“The practitioner I knew was a person who would repay what was done to him. “Twice, no, ten times more.”
“It’s not much different now.”
“But now I am quite close to the head of the temple who ended my life as a practitioner.”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
“Well, that’s right. But you can’t argue with me now, can you? “It never happened to that man.”
“That too.”
“Besides, I got hit in the back of the head, but even then, I didn’t look at the Lord of the House in a bad way. “At least when he went to war, he was a trustworthy ally.”
“Even now?”
“of course. “In fact, I am much more reliable than I was then.”
It was then.
“Are you talking about me?”
Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi were not surprised. It was because he sensed the presence of the hotel.
“Are you here?”
The official who appeared snorted.
“When did I go to war with you?”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed cheerfully.
“I just tried it. “Don’t worry too much.”
“Sullen bastard.”
“By the way, you brought us news of victory.”
“He was a half-hearted person who did not even know the virtue of life or death. “It was nothing.”
“For something like that, you’ve burned your sleeves quite a bit.”
“noisy.”
The party sat in front of the bonfire.
he asked, his eyes shining.
“So, did you get a call from Moyong?”
“yes. They say it was successful. “I heard they are planning to lure the Shinhwa cultists.”
“okay?”
The official smiled cruelly.
“I wonder if some decent guys will come this time.”
“You could die.”
“If you are weak, you will die. But I am not weak.”
As expected, it was great confidence.
“Did you handle your work well?”
“Of course.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked north.
“Now all that’s left is to have fun.”
