Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 133

The price of greed (3)

“What?”

“Whoa.”

“So, if you’re going to do it, you asked me to make you the leader of the independence fighters?”

“That’s right.”

Yeonwi was speechless for a moment.

Yeon Ho-jeong continued to drink tea. The tea water was particularly hot.

Seeing her son like that, Yeonwi felt shocked inside.

‘Are you saying you don’t think anything of it? ‘Do you not realize how great you have done?’

With just a few words, the son turned one of the Murim Alliance’s combat units into a direct subordinate that he could move at will.

And the opponent was the head of the Moyong family. It means that Moyonggun, Moyongse, is a giant who is evaluated as one of the greatest family heads in history.

“I will ask again. Did Gaju Moyong agree to that?”

“That’s right. He said he would plant a person, but that is not his person. “It probably means that we will attach someone from Meng’s side to report on the unit’s every move.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“That can’t be helped. No matter how free the Confucian army is, in the end, it is a member of the Murim Alliance. “I am satisfied that we have become a free unit that will not be sacrificed to the politics of the Baekdo Murim Alliance.”

“Huh.”

“The problem is numbers.”

“number?”

“That’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong put down the tea cup and spoke with a more serious expression.

“The reason I negotiated with the head of the Moyong family was the existence of an independent rebel army and that I would take over as its leader. “They didn’t say how many troops there would be.”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s right. If you’re not careful, your unit members may end up in the tens. “It may be operated as such a small organization that it would be a waste to call it a unit.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Well, I guess that’s okay too. The more people there are to manage, the more tired the leader becomes. However, if that really happens, I too will be hit by the head of the Moyong family.”

“….”

“Ugh, that must be a bit unpleasant.”

Yeonwi shook his head.

“This is truly amazing.”

“yes?”

“I knew that your eyes were all over the world, but I didn’t know that you would also have a keen eye for politics.”

“Ah…”

Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.

“I actually don’t think it’s a big deal. There are many ways to utilize the actual strategy and tactics of clashing spears and swords. However, in the battlefield called politics, the spear turns into a tongue.”

“….”

“Well… I think so.”

Yeonwi, who was looking at Yeonhojeong, shook her head.

“amazing. “All I can say is that it’s amazing.”

“There’s no need to say that…”

“And I’ll tell you in advance. “I will be against it.”

“yes?”

“It means that I will oppose the creation of an independence army with you as the leader.”

Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.

“Disturbance…?”

“Yes.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Because it’s not applied properly.”

“No, father. “I used a fairly large stake to win this one…”

Yeonwi was adamant.

“Hojeong, your abilities are outstanding. Martial arts and resourcefulness. And this time, he proved that he is as resourceful as anyone else in political battles. “As a father, it is certainly gratifying to see such excellence in your son.”

“….”

“However, the existence of independent rebels carries a high risk of causing chaos in the organization of the Murim Alliance. As the head of the six generations, I cannot agree with the creation of such an organization.”

Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.

It is said that he is opposed to the creation of an organization that could strengthen his son’s family.

Yeonho-jeong’s father’s reaction was unexpected. So I was embarrassed, but at the same time, I thought he was really like a father.

“Before that, the decisive reason why I opposed the creation of the Independence Army….”

“The result was not right.”

Yeonwi’s eyes widened.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“As a warrior who received the teachings of Yeonga, I made an incorrect result. “Right, father?”

Yeonwi smiled.

“Did you know?”

“Now I know.”

“Yes, that is not right.”

Although the creation of the Murim Alliance was almost confirmed, nothing was actually decided.

In such a situation, Prince Moyong, who tried to monitor Yeonhojeong by making him the head of a combat unit and placing him under his command, was abnormal, but Yeonhojeong, who went to Prince Moyong and threatened him to create an independent rebel army, was also not normal.

If it was just a joke, you could laugh it off, but Yeon Ho-jeong, not to mention Prince Moyong, was also a very influential martial artist in his own way.

Asking to create a new organization after planning it in advance is in itself an act of looking down on the Murim Alliance.

“Your methods may have been too extreme, but I know that there are times when such methods are necessary. But at least not this time.”

“To be exact, they said there was nothing they could do, but they had to make me give up. “Right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“I understand father. But since I am not a father, I may use this method often in the future.”

These words were said with the expectation of harsh criticism. It was meant to prevent you from getting hurt later.

Surprisingly, Yeonwi’s answer exceeded Yeonhojeong’s expectations.

“Does not matter.”

“…?”

“At least I know you won’t cross the line. So I won’t mind.”

Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.

“No, father. “I heard you’re against it?”

“It is an act that deviates from what I think is moral. “Of course I have no choice but to oppose it.”

“But how can you say you don’t care?”

“Because it’s you.”

“yes?”

As the conversation continued, it was Yeonwi who became calmer.

Yeonwi quenched her thirst with a sip of tea and continued speaking.

“My son cannot be like me.”

“….”

“Unlike me, you live in the world in a rougher way. Therefore, you are using your political power as a means for the world you are developing.”

“….”

“The way I see it, it is clearly wrong. But you don’t think it’s wrong. Also, there must be a reason for thinking that way.”

“That’s right.”

“So I don’t blame you. However, just like you, Abby lives her life in her own way.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Yeon-wi blankly, ended up laughing as if she couldn’t stop him.

“And what will you do if I get angry later? “You may lose your temper because you are frustrated.”

“They will scold you for being a traitor.”

“Is that the end?”

“If you want to be caned as an adult, just cross the line.”

“ha ha ha.”

Yeon Ho-jeong burst out laughing without realizing it.

“You can’t turn your grown son into a father who uses a cane.”

“Of course it should be.”

“Do not worry. “I may not be cheap, but my survival instinct is strong.”

Yeonwi clicked her tongue.

“Correction of that undignified way of speaking. “I’m afraid that others will see evil in me.”

“This is also my personality. Please be respectful.”

“I can’t give you that kind of respect.”

The father and son looked at each other and smiled for a long time.

After a while, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.

“Then I will fight like that.”

“Do it that way.”

Yeonwi tilted her head as if something suddenly occurred to her.

“But why did the Moyong family ask to have a dance in the square?”

“It means that we are determined and will lay the groundwork.”

“Are you planning…?”

“I proved my skills to Gaju Moyong in front of so many masters. “This rumor has probably spread beyond the inner city by now.”

Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.

“Are you saying it was part of a behind-the-scenes operation to make you the leader of the independence fighters?”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“It’s a warning at the same time.”

“warning?”

“The transaction was completed in front of everyone. “If I don’t deal with the dream according to the terms of the deal, then it means that I will cross the line.”

Yeonwi’s expression became cold.

“How shameless you are. “I can’t believe you’re giving this side a warning because you’ve lost a subject that’s been fighting with you so many times.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.

“It’s a fight where the reason doesn’t matter anyway. At least that’s true for the head of the Moyong family.”

“I see.”

Yeonwi just sipped tea in silence.

It must have been frustrating. Rather, he kept touching his son, fearing that the head of the Moyong family was targeting him.

Part of me wanted to go there right away and swing the sword. However, I do not know that worldly affairs should not be handled according to emotions.

This was the reason to soothe my sore stomach with tea.

“Anyway, it must be hard for your father too.”

“hmm?”

Yeon Ho-jeong said in a cheerful tone.

“The behind-the-scenes work has already been completed. “The Moyong family will definitely make me an independent soldier.”

Yeonwi shook his head.

“I just do my best. “If that doesn’t work, there’s nothing you can do.”

If this were a family affair, I would have decidedly opposed it. Since it is the work of the Murim Alliance, the Yeonwi is also showing its own flexibility.

That was the way of the Yeongui of the head judge of the Byeoksan Yeonga. Although it appears to be extremely rigid and sticks only to principles, it is a great cooperative that is as flexible as anyone else when necessary.

“No matter what, prepare your mind too.”

“What do you mean?”

“People will look for you.”

“yes?”

Yeonwi clicked her tongue.

“When you attack, you show an insight that will surprise the world, but you never turn your attention to small details.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“I wonder what my father is saying….”

“Whether it is white or black, the Murim people are people who live with the desire to win.”

“…?”

“You are the one who proved your martial prowess against the head of the Moyong family. “Won’t experts your age pay attention to you?”

“100 million?!”

“While dealing with a famous family, your reputation has already shocked the world. “That’s how you came into the Murim Alliance.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was distorted like rotten fruit.

Yeonwi stood up from her seat.

“This is the seed you sowed, so reap it. “This father will not be involved in any way.”

* * *

Yeonwi’s words soon became reality.

The next morning, with heavy snow falling.

At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong was honing the form of Sasinmu while holding the Gwangryongbu, and Mukbi was repeatedly pulling and releasing the Hongryeon Palace’s string.

“hmm?”

Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi’s eyes lit up at the same time.

“Did you feel it too?”

“yes. Of course the practitioner felt it too, right?”

“I had to feel it. But you’ve gotten a little faster?”

“Iknow, right.”

“Be sure to bow down and thank your father later.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

“You’re laughing. “He will walk forward again and suddenly stick his shining forehead in the air.”

“Sniff.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the entrance to Pagungak.

After a while, a prosecutor wearing a pure white uniform came there.

He was a guru rather than a prosecutor. She wore a uniform reminiscent of a sea of clouds, and her hair, which was not very long, was loose and loose.

‘Ohh?’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

The eyes, which are uncharacteristically full of emptiness and emptiness, are overwhelming. Although the scary prediction was completely suppressed, the gloomy atmosphere emanating from his entire body caught my attention.

thud!

Yeon Ho-jeong, who planted the Gwangryongbu on the ground, asked.

“who?”

“Is this Yeonga’s residence?”

“however?”

“I have come to meet Yeonga Yeon’s eldest son, Byeoksanhojang Yeon.”

“So who?”

The Taoist monk’s dark eyes flashed for a moment.

“I am Okcheong, Geomseon’s only disciple. I have come to ask the head of Gangdong to help me.”

It’s in full swing from the beginning.
