Episode 69.
There is a relative, but there is no absolute. (4)
Before we knew it, Yeonhojeong’s presence had disappeared. It has completely escaped this place.
Moyong, who had been laughing for a while until then, gradually withdrew his laughter.
He calmly filled his glass.
“Yeonhwa.”
“Yes father.”
“How did you see it?”
Moyong Yeonhwa sighed softly.
“Honestly, I can’t figure it out.”
“Hehe, it’s worth it.”
“One thing is certain. “He is a much ruder person than I thought.”
“If you don’t have power, you can’t be rude.”
“It seemed like you had great admiration for Yeon Ho-jeong.”
“I don’t know how to talk about it.”
Prince Moyong thought of Yeonhojeong.
Eyes that are so transparent that they make the viewer feel creepy. An indifferent face that shows no leisure but no hint of urgency.
And he even has the fearsome guts to say that he will destroy the best family in the world without any hesitation.
The laughter I had worked so hard to suppress leaked out on its own.
“He is a strong man. It’s a problem that doesn’t involve things like martial arts or intelligence. “I felt an innate strength from him.”
“…Is it that much?”
“I can’t even imagine what kind of life I’ve lived. I went through quite a bit of chaos and came back. Even a strong nature has a hard time overcoming the grudges of experience. “This guy has both.”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s face hardened.
I knew that my father thought highly of Yeon Ho-jeong. But I didn’t know it would be to this extent.
Moyong-gun smiles and thinks of Yeonhojeong.
His expression gradually became cold.
“So… it’s dangerous.”
“yes?”
“He is a dangerous guy. “I was able to see another side of myself in him.”
Pusssss.
The cup he was holding turned into powder.
It was tremendous endurance. I turned the jade cup into powder with my subconsciously manifested power. The extent of his inner strength was beyond imagination.
It was an increase in internal strength gained through learning brain drills.
“I actually said it as a joke, but when I saw him, I got greedy for a moment. “I thought that if he was that talented, it would be okay to pair him with you.”
Moyong Yeonhwa’s eyes wavered.
“but.”
Moyong-gun shook off the powder and looked out the window.
Before I knew it, a pure white moon had risen.
“This guy is just like me. You won’t know what satisfaction is. “If I were to marry you, I would target your family at any time.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“What a pity. “If he had inherited the family name, he would have been appointed head of the Soga family right away.”
Moyong Yeonhwa clenched her fist without Moyong’s knowledge.
Why? I was angry for no reason. My father always praised me, but he never gave me such high praise.
Mo Yong Yeon-hwa spoke in an effortlessly calm tone.
“If you’re a talented person who can’t make it into the family, you should get rid of them in advance, right?”
“Of course it is.”
Is it because of the moonlight?
Moyong’s white smile was somehow creepy.
“I will conquer the world. If I do this, the world will become a garden that I will have to tend. But there is no way it will be a flower that will bloom beautifully in my garden. In that case, it would be better to uproot it in advance.”
Prince Moyong, who had been looking at the moon for a while, stood up.
“Whatever the reason, it was a meaningful meeting. We also became busy. “Let’s go quickly.”
“yes.”
* * *
“Whoa.”
In a dark forest.
He sat down on a rock with a clear view of the cold moonlight and put down his axe.
bang.
I tried to leave it standing, but it tilted and fell into the ground. I had no strength in my hands.
“It’s hard.”
Immediately after the life-or-death battle with those damn wolves, I had a sharp conversation with Prince Moyong. It wasn’t just about draining my mental energy.
Wooooow.
By pulling up the Byeoklajingi, the internal injuries that were gradually getting worse were corrected.
The damage was greater than expected. The blood vessels were torn in various places, and the blood vessels were filled with turbidity.
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.
Weeeeeee!
The back exhaler opened and inhaled concentrated natural energy.
Energy plays a role in healing the body. I received an abundance of Qi through the Baekhogi, which made my treatment more active, and opened the Hyeonmugi to expel all the remaining turbid Qi.
After praying for over half an hour, I finally felt like I could survive.
“Damn, I should have had a few bowls of water. “Why did you ask me to drink alcohol?”
I feel sick because of my internal injuries. When I poured a few glasses of strong liquor into it, I felt like I was going to vomit.
This is why people should not be caught up in things like memories.
‘It was definitely different when I was young.’
During the time of the Murim lord, Prince Moyong was not only a seasoned politician, but also the leader of the Baekdo clan who received everyone’s support.
I use any means to achieve my goal, but I always take care of my people. He was a respected monarch and a capable politician to the people within his domain.
‘I drank a lot too.’
The White Island and the Black Island joined hands for the first time during the invasion of the central plains by the Gwangshinsamgyo, or more accurately, the Saeumgyo.
Black and white leaders who formed an alliance due to an invasion by foreign enemies. The two had drinks several times even during the war.
Although he lived a heartless life until he reached that position, he was at least not unattractive. So I was wary of him and at the same time felt a sense of kinship with him.
However, the current Moyong County was different.
He was an ambitious man who would plot and kill without hesitation to achieve his dream.
‘Besides, I didn’t know at the time. That the Moyong family played a role in the extinction of the main family.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes grew cold.
Memories are just memories. This drinking party was nothing more than a farewell drink for a former comrade in arms.
If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know. Now that you know, the Moyong family is the enemy of Cheolcheon. I mean, they are the same people as the famous ones.
‘Look forward to it, old man. ‘Because I will sweep away every last inch of the foundation you have built up until now.’
I was lost in thought for a while.
“Whoa, why did the injured man climb this high mountain? “I’m going to die from exhaustion.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“What did you come here for?”
“Do you think I came because I wanted to? “I also want to sit comfortably and fiddle with the information coming in.”
The person who appeared was Full Sang.
“What about the secret army?”
“That person is so ignorant. “It’s been a while since I last saw you, but you didn’t even say hello.”
“It looks like you held it well.”
“Isn’t it obvious? “I am the man who says he will do something once and will do it until the end.”
“It was a lot of hard work.”
Full Sang smiled.
“You also had a hard time. “Seeing that you were hurt like that, you must have been quite strong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“All those who smell blood are like that. Rather than being strong, it’s just too strong. “I had a hard time trying to catch them all one by one.”
“Still, it’s amazing. “How many people in the martial arts world can catch a blue tiger by themselves?”
“There are so many. “It’s because I didn’t look.”
“…No matter what I say, it always makes me feel awkward like that.”
“So what brings you here?”
“reel? “It looks like you’re definitely hurt a lot?”
“huh?”
Full Sang pointed behind himself with his thumb.
“Look.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the direction he pointed to.
His eyes widened.
“I received a direct message from the head of the family. “Actually, I was also curious about how you were holding up, so I came with you as a guide.”
One hundred prosecutors emerged from the dark shadows one after another.
At the forefront was Shinmo.
“Chang-eung-dae meets the Grand Duke!”
“Meet the Archduke!”
The voice was so loud that the whole mountain rang loudly.
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Keep your voices down. Is there anything to gossip about?”
Full-sang snorted.
“It would be better to start a rumor. After doing that little thing.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Anyway, how did you get here?”
Shinmo spoke in her characteristic low voice.
“The head of the family sent it directly. From now on, we will be in charge of guarding the Grand Duke.”
Father?
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“It must be very busy there, so why did you send me here?”
Full-sang gave a scolding.
“You idiot. What are you going to say in front of the people who ran so hard that their soles were swollen? Rather, you should be grateful.”
“Huh!”
Yeonhojeong came down from the rock.
“Anyway… you had a hard time coming.”
“no.”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head as if embarrassed.
“Anyway, where do you find a base that can accommodate this many people? “Can you help Hoogae find it for me?”
“Anyway, you can’t do anything without me?”
“If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“Oh, that’s it! I already found a nice manor nearby, so let’s rest there. Even the eyes of a famous family will not reach there.”
“Thank you.”
“So much.”
Full-sang asked vaguely.
“Anyway, how did the conversation with the Moyong family end? “I still can’t believe that guy came all the way to Hanam.”
“It ended well.”
“Is that the end? “Do you want to tell me in more detail?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled. Certainly, Full Sang has fun mixing words. Would you say that you will gain strength automatically?
He told me in detail the conversation he had with the head of the Moyong family.
Interest arose on Full Sang’s face.
“By authority… I am referring to the authority of the assembly.”
“Right to convention?”
“The owners of the Seven Great Houses of the Nine Countries and One Bang have the power of the Great Council. “It is to bring together the leaders of Baekdo Martial Arts and discuss important issues.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned. Because I had never heard of it.
“Was there something like that?”
“That’s right. Oh, of course, it is extremely rare to exercise the right to a convention. “It is a matter of gathering the leaders of the Baekdo Martial Arts from all over the world, so if there is no answer to the agenda, the party who proposed it must take full responsibility.”
“I called you because it was important, but are you responsible?”
“In other words, it is to make up for the losses suffered by each faction due to the absence of the leader. In other words, don’t call it something that doesn’t matter.”
There are truly strange powers.
Heukdo Murim is not like this. This is because there is no meaning to a united force in the first place. The reason why Yeonhojeong built Heukjeseong Fortress and ruled as a one-man rule was because he was busy trying to backstab everyone he had formed an alliance with.
“In other words, Gaju Moyong is confident enough.”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“I understand what the term ‘temporary Murim Alliance’ means. But is it possible for the heads of each faction to gather together in one month?”
“There are some chiefs who cannot come due to circumstances. But if you don’t have that, you must definitely come.”
It was quite a shocking system for Yeon Ho-jeong, who was familiar with the Heukdo Murim system.
“Anyway, since the conversation went well, what are you going to do next?”
“You should rest. “For now.”
“So you’re not the type of person to rest without taking any measures.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Do you know about Hugai? “The power of a famous family has secretly established itself near Jiangsu Province.”
Full Sang smiled.
“I heard.”
“A month is both long and short. Shouldn’t we gradually tighten the stranglehold on the famous family in the meantime?”
“You’re probably going to deny it and come forward?”
“Of course I will.”
“I’ll try to set the mood. “I don’t know if I can last a month.”
“I will come forward when the rumors die down.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Even if you borrow someone else’s fishing boat, you have to do the fishing yourself.”
