Episode 827

Master of the Three Worlds (2)

“Bulord.”

“Please come in.”

Kugoogung!

The door to Daejeon opened and a white paper came in.

Yangcheon, who was drinking alone, grumbled softly.

“We need to move it quickly.”

“yes?”

“This cave.”

Yang Cheon whetted his appetite.

“Every time someone comes in, that big stone door opens with a loud noise, and sometimes I’m startled.”

“Oh yeah.”

White Paper’s face became awkward.

“So, what brought you here?”

“It’s none other than a call from the Zhejiang intelligence unit.”

“hmm?”

“This is the place where I reported a while ago that some kind of experts were coming and going.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Recently, we discovered that several supplies coming from Zhejiang are heading to Jiangxi. “It was a very quiet movement, so neither we nor the Murim Alliance were aware of it.”

“How carefully did you move?”

“We were distributing supplies through various merchants and ports and transporting them to Gangseo. The destination is believed to be near Okhwasan Mountain in Gangseo. But that amount…”

White Paper’s face hardened.

“They say it’s huge. “I don’t know the details, but considering the amount of silk and wooden weapons, it seems like the amount could be equivalent to the annual budget of the Mukryongbu.”

Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.

The size of the annual budget of the Mukryongbu is incomparable to that of any other major sect.

Of course, the Mukryongbu earns an astronomical amount of money every month and does not spend money on unnecessary things. It means being bold when investing, but not doing anything for nothing.

Even taking that into account, the annual budget of the Mukryongbu is beyond imagination. I don’t know, but it would be as much as the combined annual budget of the old Daemun faction.

That amount of money is being collected in Gangseo?

“What happened to the expert group I mentioned before?”

“I was going to tell you even if that wasn’t the case. Some of those masters are near Jade Fire Mountain, while others have dispersed. “I don’t know where the scattered personnel went, but I suspect they probably went to escort the goods being transported to Jade Mountain one by one.”

Yang Chen’s eyes deepened.

“You probably investigated their identities separately, right?”

“yes. “We conducted a thorough investigation, but they say they are of unknown origin.”

“What does it mean to have unknown origins?”

“That’s literally it. “Based on their prayers and movements, they clearly seem to have studied martial arts in the Jungwon region, but their origins have not been traced yet.”

Sigh.

Yangcheon’s relaxed posture changed to a somewhat restrained appearance.

“A martial arts whose origins are difficult to trace?”

“That’s right.”

“…It is clear that martial arts other than Sae are difficult to find their origins.”

It was a remark with the three religions in mind.

White Paper bowed his head.

“We are investigating that possibility. However, it is said that it is not a Sagong rooted in Saeumism or a Yeoyanggong of Shinhwaism. “It is not a magic attack, so of course there is a small possibility that it is a martial art from the Gwanghyeolgyo religion.”

“They are guys who have accumulated all kinds of amazing martial arts skills. For decades, they have been secretly operating in the central plains, encroaching on clans and siphoning off funds. Since many of the strange martial artists were taken away, there would have been enough time to create new ones and train masters.”

“yes.”

“Give more strength to that intelligence unit.”

“All right. And finally, I have one more thing to report to you.”

“Something?”

“There was a lot of movement of workers near Okhwasan Mountain.”

“Worker?”

“The surrounding security is so tight that not even the intelligence team can get close, but the sound of hammers and various other things…”

“Are they building a castle?”

“I’m guessing so.”

Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.

‘Three Bridges.’

I thought everyone had disappeared from the midfield.

Since this was an issue on which the open and dark intelligence groups agreed, it was clear that there were no people willing to act openly.

However, if you decide to stay hidden, there is nothing you cannot hide. The land of Jungwon is so vast. Only the martial arts people live a nomadic life from one region to another, but for the average person, the area right next door is no different from another country.

‘No matter how great the world’s information power is, it is impossible to know what is happening in small villages in each region.’

Although it is spread throughout the world, there are limits to its detail. That’s natural. Unless you have hundreds of thousands of informants, it is impossible to handle all kinds of personal information about the region.

Rather, the intelligence of Heukdo, which recognized the movement of such materials and the appearance of the martial arts people, should be praised. There are many martial arts people in the world, and there are many sangangs and pyoguks.

“Is there a sign of recognition in the open?”

“I don’t know if it has reached the leadership of the Communist Party, but it is a report that there is a high possibility that the Communist Party operating in the vicinity of Jiangxi and Zhejiang are also keeping an eye on them.”

“Right.”

White Paper asked cautiously.

“What are you going to do? Shall we report this information to the Murim Alliance?”

Yang Chen, who was deep in thought, shook his head.

“If we dispatch personnel hastily, their vigilance may become more severe.”

“The intelligence team also analyzed it that way.”

“They say the movements of the open provinces are unusual, so they will soon notice.”

“But if we announce it too late, it could lead to trust issues between allies.”

“So I’m thinking of informing Hojeong.”

“yes?”

“Oh, you haven’t met me? “I left a little while ago.”

Yang Chen shook the bottle.

“I sent him off after drinking the three drinks you gave him. “They said they were going to the Murim League.”

White Paper’s eyes widened.

“You mean already?”

Yang Cheon burst out laughing.

“I knew you could make that kind of expression, so you’ve definitely changed a lot.”

“ah.”

White Paper quickly adjusted his expression, but his face still showed surprise and puzzlement.

“The person who is supposed to deal with the Black Island factions has already gone to the Murim Alliance?”

“This guy. Is there anyone at headquarters other than him? “There’s me and you, right?”

“Of course it is.”

This policy of controlling the Heukdo clans was carried out completely under the leadership of Yeonhojeong.

There were more than one person who was surprised by Yeon Ho-jeong’s common sense and speedy handling of work. Even the way he handled things had a practical effect, so many of those who were secretly dissatisfied with him being the successor to Baekdo were influenced by his abilities.

The same was true for the white paper. As Yang Cheon’s closest subordinate, he was someone who had seen firsthand how outstanding Yeon Hojeong’s abilities were, but due to his origins and past actions, he could not be trusted completely.

However, this incident made me completely trust Yeon Ho-jeong. No matter how much we had to work together to fight against the three religions, it was not easy for someone from Baekdo to strengthen the power of the Mukryongbu with such great care.

I can’t help but trust him because of his outstanding ability, sincerity, and natural human charm. Perhaps Yeon Ho-jeong’s true ability may not be his power or talent, but rather his unique words and actions that turn his rough and unconventional appearance into trust.

“Since he’s gotten this far, wouldn’t it be natural for us to take care of things? “That’s a good picture.”

Yang Cheon chuckled and shook his head as if he couldn’t stop him.

“I said, ‘How about taking a day off?’ But he wouldn’t listen. You may be very busy, but you all have your own intentions. “If I do well on my own and take the Black Island under my command, how will people view me and you?”

“…!”

“Nevertheless, the reason I caught him was to make him a proper successor.”

“Isn’t the heir already the heir?”

“Wouldn’t the way you look at Hojeong change in just those few days? From someone who took control of the Black Island factions in one fell swoop, to someone who actually integrated those factions and made them his own.”

“…!”

Yang Chen filled his cup.

“The stones in the body usually do not fall out. The same goes for trust and distrust. “A person who believes once will believe until the end, but a person who is once disappointed will not believe at all.”

“….”

“Even if there is silence, the praise given to him will be ten times greater than it is now. There are probably a lot more people who view me positively than those who view me negatively, and that absence of trust would have been of great help in my future activities. “He rejected it and left.”

White Paper’s eyes wavered.

“Did you keep that in mind when you stopped the Murim Alliance?”

“I believed in your loyalty, so I was going to give everything to him. Didn’t I also have a absenteeism? “The absence of trust in this guy.”

“….”

“He knows it too. “For that to happen, you and I have no choice but to be buried in the shadows.”

Yang Cheon, who emptied his glass, filed a complaint.

“It’s all good, but you’re being considerate in a really unnecessary place. Well, that’s his charm.”

White Paper thought.

‘He has changed.’

After appointing Yeon Ho-jeong as his successor, Yangcheon showed definite changes.

Although his personality remained the same, he became more relaxed and his perspective on things seemed to have become deeper.

A person who used to be as sharp as anyone else now exudes the air of a wise man. Nevertheless, the power in your hand will remain the same.

Yang Chen became more outstanding and more fearful.

And Baekseo couldn’t help but have complex emotions of surprise, bitterness, worry, and anticipation about Yeonhojeong, who changed his lord like that.

“Anyway, the leader who did all the hard work left behind the grain, so we have to harvest it quickly.”

Yang Cheon twirled the bottle.

Yangcheon put his nose to the mouth of the bottle to see if the scent became more vivid and nodded.

“Tell them to take the scythes.”

“I follow your orders.”

“And once the work is roughly finished, you can prepare to go to Bothaam.”

White Paper’s eyes lit up.

“Are you planning to proceed with the work you mentioned earlier?”

“I am trying to achieve my dream of conquering the world in a different way. “If that’s the case, shouldn’t the pitchfork I was planning to use need some maintenance as well?”

“All right.”

Yangcheon, who was filling his glass, suddenly looked at the stone gate of Daejeon.

“It’s the Murim Alliance… I wonder what kind of treatment they will give to the Hojeong there.”

* * *

“Are you sure you want to do that?”

“Are you asking me that again now?”

Paeyul said as he polished his short spear.

“If you look at the fact that he hasn’t contacted me yet, he’s definitely the kid that the fortune teller gave away.”

“But things will be different when we get to Meng.”

“Of course it is.”

“There was no preparation time. “You could really get excommunicated.”

“I told you, right? I wonder if the excommunication is a big deal. Just help me avoid cutting the muscles in my limbs. “I have no intention of becoming an asshole, even if I end up being condemned as a monk.”

Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.

“I don’t know if he was holding a weapon or carrying a burden.”

“Show your abilities so that you can become a weapon rather than a burden.”

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed and looked around.

Mukbi and Kangryang Jinyang were seen one after another. And to one side, I saw Makwon smiling brightly.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked Jinyang.

“Have you been to Jeong Gwang?”

“I stopped by once, but I wasn’t in the mood to talk. “This is my first time seeing such concentration.”

“You seem to be concentrating properly. I can’t help it. “You can’t disrupt class.”

“The prayers are already unusual. “I wonder if he will be stronger than me by the time he comes back.”

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“It must be a bittersweet thing. By the way…”

Jinyang turned his eyes to the woman standing next to Makwon.

“…Are you really going with that woman?”

“Everyone ready?”

Yeonhojeong, ignoring Jinyang’s question, stretched loudly.

“Let’s leave quickly. “To a home that has become uncomfortable.”
