Episode 1027
Emperor Wu (2)
After saying goodbye, not the last, but the last, Yeon Ho-jeong greeted the leaders of the Maengjubu and headed to the prison with Prince Mo Yong.
Mo Yong-gun asked as he went down to the lowest level of the prison.
“How do you feel?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“It’s not bad.”
“I guess so. Given your personality, it must have been very difficult to keep an eye on these people and have to pick them here or crush them there. “It must be very exciting to go to the Mukryongbu and go on a rampage without being noticed.”
It was a rare joke from Moyong.
It was a joke, but it was also true. Yeon Ho-jeong used to force himself to hide his strength even when he had to strike hard to match the mood of the Murim Alliance.
At least that won’t happen in the Mukryongbu.
“Matriarch.”
“You tell me.”
“Please take care of me.”
It was a word with several meanings mixed together.
Mo Yong smiled bitterly.
“I never thought the day would come when I would hear those words from you.”
“I didn’t know that the head of the family would change so much.”
Prince Moyong was silent.
Normally, I would have made a sincere joke saying that I would have to eat the Murim League in an situation like this, but the situation was so serious that I couldn’t say anything like that.
Yeon Ho-jeong seemed to have guessed his feelings and continued speaking.
“The leader is a strong man. When the head of the family sees it, it can be frustrating and overly rambling, but the center that he holds is…”
“I know, too.”
“exactly?”
“Of course, if it were me, I would never have done that. So I feel angry and frustrated. However, I agree that the ability of a public ambassador is outstanding.”
“….”
“But what I’m frustrated with is Bonggong and the elders.”
“…?”
“Even that might have been blocked by Gong-gong, but Bong-gong and the elders are also the leaders of the faction. Depending on how you operate it, you will be able to create an overwhelming gathering force. “I may have other thoughts, but I can’t help but feel frustrated just watching.”
Yeonho-jeong agreed with this part.
In this respect, the two are very similar. The details of how things are done may be different, but the eye for pointing out what is important is exactly the same.
“Please help me a lot, matriarch.”
“I have to go back to the Commerce Federation. “If I step forward now, it will only be detrimental to the leader’s politics.”
“….”
“But I’ll have to stir-fry the field before I leave. “If you can afford it, you will do it. If not, you will ignore it, but at least you will know that there is a way.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-gun, suddenly laughed out loud.
“Did you really come to any kind of enlightenment on your own?”
“Don’t be mistaken. “I’m not doing this because I like those guys.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sank.
“There is nothing we can do to completely blow away the three religious bastards. “If I’m not the leader, what should I do to make him do his job properly?”
“exactly?”
“That’s me, but what about you?”
“…?”
“Do you really have no regrets?”
“No.”
Clap!
The door to the lowest level prison opened.
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a voice without any regrets.
“From the beginning, the Murim Alliance was not the place for me. “It was just a place to stop by.”
“….”
“Like I said, I’m a heretic. I may be called a heretic in the Mukryong Club, but I am not the only heretic in the Mukryong Club. It’s a place where anyone can come in and become the best. “Wouldn’t it be a paradise-like environment for me?”
“…is it.”
“Like the head of a family, all I have to do is find a place that suits me and create my own home.”
it is not so.
Mr. Moyong almost said that without even realizing it.
‘I chose Sangmu Union because of you.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s words that the Murim League was not his place struck a strange chord in my heart.
The same was true for Moyonggun. He wanted to stand at the top of the Murim Alliance, but the current Murim Alliance was not the place for him.
If it weren’t for the war, I would have made it into a kingdom that suited me. However, with the war against the Three Religions just around the corner, it only caused unnecessary confusion among the powerful forces.
“The Sangmu Alliance is close to the Mukryongbu. “I don’t know when the war will break out, but if you think of it, stop by.”
“I will give it back exactly as it was said.”
“I won’t say a word.”
“ha ha ha.”
So the two walked down the prison hallway, talking about various things.
When Mo Yong walked halfway, he looked at a prison with iron bars.
There, a young man with gray hair was sitting on the floor, muttering something. His face was pale and his eyes were open, as if he was completely entranced.
It was Namgung-hyeon.
In Mo Yong-gun’s eyes, life was momentarily young.
The types of people he hated the most were people like anti-black people and Namgoong Hyun. If anything, the three schools of thought are ambitious. If you’re ignorant and incapable, you should at least know what’s right, but that guy didn’t have that.
but.
Maybe he became like that too. Prince Moyong had no choice but to admit that that assumption could have been true.
Blind greed leads people to catastrophe. I learned a lot all over again.
The two people continued walking down the hallway like that and finally stood in front of Hong Ik-cheon, or rather, the nameless Three Kings.
The Three Four Kings, who had been muttering softly with their heads down like Nangonghyeon, flinched.
After a while.
“You haven’t left yet.”
A quiet voice.
The voice of the Three Four Kings, who had nothing to say other than muttering to himself, was extremely dull.
However, it seemed like his senses were still alive. Even though I covered my eyes with an eyepatch, this time I recognized at once that the other person was Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Besides, Lord Moyong.”
“Don’t call my last name with your dirty tongue.”
Prince Moyong’s voice was ruthless.
The corners of the Three Four Kings’ mouths rose.
Although he had been trapped for several days in this environment with no one to talk to, his mind seemed to have somehow not been worn down.
“So, what brought you here today?”
Yeon Ho-jeong squatted in front of the iron bars.
“I want to ask you something.”
“I have nothing to say now. Of course, it feels good to have a friend to talk to, even if just for a little while.”
“Saeumgyo’s information power was excellent.”
“…?”
“Of course, the situation here is bound to be slower than for us, natives of Jungwon. Still, great things are great. Plus, the midfield is wide. “Even if we gather as much information as we can, if we decide to hide somewhere in this vast land, it won’t be easy to find.”
“I guess so.”
“You were like that, the generals of the Shinhwa Cult were like that, and the demons of the Gwangblood Cult were like that too. “We had mobilized all of our intelligence and thought that there would be no more masters of the three religions in the Central Plains, and even though we said that the Sejaks would exist, they would not be active, but even that was not certain.”
“There is nothing in this world you can be sure of.”
“yes.”
“So what is the answer you want to hear?”
“Furthermore, if you have lived in the midfield for a long time like you, you cannot catch him even if you want to. “The highly trained Sejak completely assimilates into the environment.”
“….”
“If we limit ourselves to the Saeum Church, there won’t be another guy like you in this midfield. yes?”
“That’s something you don’t know. Although I am the Three Four Kings, my authority is not that great. “We literally only received orders to infiltrate and disrupt.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the Three Kings.
The Three Four Kings, who were sitting motionless, spoke out loud.
“I made a mistake.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at Mo Yong-gun and said.
“There seems to be something else.”
“is it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the Three Kings again.
The three kings filed a complaint.
“It’s definitely difficult in a place like this. “I guess I’ve become dull too.”
“No way. It’s not that we’ve become dull, it’s that Saeumgyo is no longer important.”
“is that so? “I don’t know much about that.”
“You tried to tear black and white apart. They actually did that. “Because I created a situation where I had no choice but to leave.”
“It’s a shame that the greatest achievement of my life ends at that point.”
“But if you think about it another way, this is not new. Although we formed an alliance, we were never truly one. Everyone knows that. Nevertheless, you tried to get me out of the prison.”
“….”
“Your greatest weapon is not your interpersonal ability to predict and draw out the other person’s reaction. To be precise, another sword is hidden within that ability.”
“What is that?”
“Doubtful dark ghost.”
The Three Four Kings did not answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes narrowed.
“Once Sejak is caught, for a while, you are engulfed in anxiety that anyone could be Sejak. But we didn’t do that. Because I had my own confidence.”
“….”
“But this situation is different. Even though you were a small person, you shook up the organization without getting your hands dirty by cajoling others. Now, rather than feeling reassured, people will begin to suspect that even people close to them may have been possessed by Sejak.”
“I didn’t intend to, but I thought it was possible.”
“But it’s temporary. “Once the leader begins to properly control the organization, it’s just a matter of timing, and that atmosphere will soon be corrected.”
“….”
“In other words, we need some decisive moment. This is an opportunity that prevents any leader from properly correcting the organization. yes?”
“….”
“What was the reason?”
The Three Four Kings were still silent.
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
“…I think I understand.”
He got up from his seat.
“let’s go.”
“Did you figure it out?”
“I think I understand.”
“I’m at a loss this time.”
“It’s because I know that guy. “If I hadn’t really encountered it, I wouldn’t have known.”
Prince Moyong looked down at the Three Kings.
There was an unknown emotion in his cold, cruel eyes.
“It’s a shame. “Your abilities.”
It does not refer to the ability to deal with people, but to the ability to lead an organization as the leader of the business union.
The Three Four Kings opened their mouths.
“Don’t be sad. I have sowed many seeds. “Most of them won’t bloom, but at least you won’t be bored for a while.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
The Three Four Kings’ words actually proved that he was becoming weaker. I felt like I somehow knew Yeon Ho-jeong’s method of getting the answer from the voices and words of the Three Kings.
Prince Moyong sighed and turned around.
“…!”
The three kings’ faces hardened.
Many emotions were mixed in Mo Yong’s sigh. But there was no hatred in that feeling. Rather, there was a feeling of regret.
That expression made the Three Four Kings’ mood completely calm down. And he couldn’t figure out why his mood was down.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“I shattered all my limbs, but the last head was cut off by the matriarch.”
“….”
“I met you once, so that’s enough.”
Not now, but at Heukje Castle.
“Let’s not meet again in the afterlife.”
Yeonho-jeong also turned around.
At that time, the Three Four Kings opened their mouths.
“After all, it’s the death penalty.”
“Of course.”
“…You are so cruel. “I already knew everything, but I tore off the limbs of someone who was about to die.”
“It’s not for you to say. “In that respect, he’s no different from other Sejak bastards.”
The Three Four Kings leaned their backs against the wall.
“If there is an afterlife, I want to see you again.”
“You can’t stop unrequited love. If you get caught, you’ll fall for it again.”
“haha.”
Just like that, Yeon Ho-jeong and Mo Yong-gun left the prison.
next day.
The Three Kings committed suicide by hitting the back of their heads against the wall.
