Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 85

The wind never breaks (3)

The words spoken at first sight are quite harsh.

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“Has there been a rumor that he is Gaebaekjeong?”

He was a person who was treated kindly. Hwa Jin-cheon burst into laughter.

“Then you thought there wouldn’t be rumors? They say that the skill of using an axe is a work of art. “I heard you used the heads of famous people instead of firewood?”

“I couldn’t even use it as kindling.”

“It could be because your head is full of shit.”

“That’s right.”

“I heard you tried to kill Myeongcheon too?”

“Is this surprising?”

“It’s not surprising. Saving the life of an enemy who is trying to kill you? “It may sound good, but to the people in the actual battlefield, it’s like a dream.”

Hwa Jin-cheon tilted his head.

“The problem is this. “He went on a rampage, threatening to cut off limbs when the game was already decided.”

Zhuge Yan was startled and looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong calmly admitted.

“That’s right. “I couldn’t complete my goal because I collapsed along the way.”

“Why did you do that? “Is there any need to inflict such insults when the winner has already been decided and the situation has been resolved?”

“You’re joking.”

“joke?”

“I don’t insult anyone unless it’s necessary.”

“What is cutting a person into pieces but an insult?”

“He said he would cut off my limbs, cut off my head, pickle it in salt, and throw it in front of my father.”

“….”

“I can tolerate it for a while, but I couldn’t bear it at that time.”

Hwa Jin-cheon, who was watching Yeon Ho-jeong with ambiguous eyes, shrugged his shoulders.

“If anything, you shouldn’t touch it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled slightly.

“Have you seen everything?”

Hwa Jin-cheon’s eyes sparkled.

“Did you know?”

“A disciple takes after his teacher. “It was exactly like this when I first met Hugae.”

“I still have a long way to go to resemble that bed bug.”

Although he said it lightly, like a joke, Hwa Jin-cheon was secretly surprised.

‘You’re smart.’

Those who handle information prioritize looking at the tendencies of the person at the center of the incident before understanding the causal relationship of the incident.

This was something I always emphasized to my students. In the end, accidents and incidents are also caused by people, so if you know how to look at people properly, you can see the pulse of things.

But it seemed like this young Huji Jisoo also knew that.

‘He’s not an ordinary guy. He wasn’t surprised at all when I came. I may not have predicted it, but I knew that it wouldn’t be strange if it came.’

Hwa Jin-cheol sighed.

“I don’t know what will happen with opening in the future.”

“yes?”

“Once a tiger learns to think like a human, the whole world becomes hell. “My student became friends with a tiger that possessed the intelligence of a human, so he won’t be able to die under my command.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Do not worry. “I’m not a crazy person who bites and kills anyone.”

“If he was a crazy guy who would bite and kill anyone, we wouldn’t have been able to get to know him that much.”

“That’s right.”

Hwa Jin-cheon, who was laughing, looked back at Zhuge Zhen.

“Are you the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family?”

Zhuge Yan bowed his waist.

“I was late in saying hello because I was embarrassed to interrupt the conversation. “Jegal Yeon of the Zhuge family sees Yongdu Ark.”

Hwa Jin-cheol scratched his head.

Still, he seemed to have less dandruff than his disciple.

“Can you stay here?”

“yes? “Me?”

“Yes, there you are.”

Zhuge Zhenyan showed a puzzled expression.

Hwa Jin-cheon chuckled.

“I heard the Nangong family sent a hawk?”

“…!”

“I don’t know if the marriage will take place, but wouldn’t it be better to at least behave properly until then? “Even if we couldn’t reach an agreement, the man is a man, and I don’t think Namgung will like it.”

Zhuge Zhen’s face hardened.

I had no idea that something important between families would be mentioned out of nowhere. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t open my mouth.

Hwa Jin-cheon laughed.

“Huh, did I say something for no reason?”

“….”

“I’m sorry. Even at this age, I can’t take good care of my muzzle. “I said this out of curiosity, so please understand just this once.”

“it’s okay.”

Hwa Jin-cheon raised both hands.

“The old beggar came and ruined the atmosphere. I guess I’ll just go. “I’m sorry for coming in without permission.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took control.

“Please take a look.”

“See you later when the kite arrives.”

Hwa Jin-cheon, who was walking languidly, stopped.

“ah! But do you know this?”

Hwa Jin-cheon’s eyes turned to Zhuge Zhen.

Zhuge Yan opened his eyes wide.

“Do you think your father didn’t know this?”

“…yes?”

“I sent my daughter to the Yeon family’s eldest son, but I was wondering if you didn’t know how that action would be viewed by the Namgung family.”

“…!!”

“As you know, isn’t your father one of the most intelligent people in the world? “He is the master of the Divine Engine.”

Shock appeared on Zhuge Zhen’s face.

Hwa Jin-cheon grinned.

“The relationship between parents and children is really good. “Don’t you think so?”

With those words, Hwa Jin-cheon left.

Yeon Ho-jeong made an uncomfortable expression.

“I’m getting a little tired from now on.”

Shinmo asked curiously.

“Are you talking about Dragon Head Ark?”

“huh.”

“How come…?”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was deep in thought, shook his head.

“No, it’s done. “Maybe my worries are excessive.”

The way Hwa Jin-cheon looked at himself was truly unusual.

It’s been a while since he retired from the front line, and I heard a rumor that he will soon hand over the position of Ark to a disciple.

However, the divine eye of Yongdu Ark did not die. He quickly figured out what kind of person Yeon Ho-jeong was through a few conversations.

In just a short conversation, Moon Geun-sang was able to see the true character of Yeon Ho-jeong, whom he had known one by one over several months.

‘indeed.’

He saw the appearance of Full Sang in the appearance of Hwajincheon.

However, Full Sang during the time of Emperor Heukam was similar to me but different. Perhaps because of his personality, he was more talkative and honest than that.

In other words, it has a human charm. However, I thought that Hwajincheon’s caution might be better for running an organization called openness.

Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.

‘I thought I had a good deal, but isn’t it going to be difficult to see the benefits for a while?’

He might give a strict order to Bu-jeong-sang not to get involved with him.

‘There is no choice. Actually, if you think about it, I did cause too much trouble.’

Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath and looked at Jegal Zhen-yeon and said.

“Let’s go get something to eat.”

“….”

“hey.”

“omg! Nana?”

“Then who are you?”

Zhuge Zhenyan showed a puzzled expression.

“Are the words of Yongdu Ark true?”

“what? Married engagement?”

“huh.”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“That is highly likely. “Even if you are not one of the Seven Great Emperors, there is no way that the head of a family would not know what it means to send your daughter to the battlefield.”

“…!”

“Well, if you think about it that way, the head of the Zhuge family used me. “Maybe Socheongidan’s words are a gift in return for a favor or an expression of regret.”

Zhuge Yan opened his mouth wide.

Yeon Ho-jeong walked into the room.

“I’m going to change the bandage and come out, so think about what you want to eat in advance. “Daeju Shin, please help me put on the bandage.”

“All right.”

At that time, Zhuge Yan shouted.

“for a moment!”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked back.

“why?”

“That’s it…”

Zhuge Zhen Yan hesitated.

“what do you think?”

“what?”

“The Namgung family sent a hawk.”

“What do you think? Things like that happen, too.”

“That could be possible….”

“Aren’t you a scientist? The one that sent the hawk?”

“that’s right.”

“The Namgung family is a family with the greatest reputation as a sword family. However, the situation is such that I am unable to spread my spiritual energy because of the Gu Ju Myeong Family or Mo Yong Se, who has recently begun to gain power.”

“….”

“The power base is increased by establishing in-law relationships with members of the Seven Great Families. Besides, the fact that my son happens to have a wife and a crush on him is enough of an excuse.”

“hmm.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a rather serious expression.

“Of course, no one knows what Nangungaju’s thoughts are. However, the moment the marriage takes place, the forces around you will start to get nervous. “If you stay there idly, you’ll only be checked, right?”

“I guess so.”

“There’s no way a person as high as the head of the Nangong family can just suffer. There’s no way you wouldn’t know. In other words, he also has quite grand ambitions.”

Jegal Yeon asked as if throwing a question.

“How about a love song?”

“my house?”

“…You speak in a very friendly way.”

“My house what?”

“I mean, is Yeonga also considering a strategy of expanding its power through marriage?”

It was a sensitive question.

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“My father said, ‘This is the person you will spend your whole life with, so don’t look at his family, but look at his heart.’”

“…!”

“Isn’t it cool? There are not many people who live with such romance in these difficult times. “That’s why I like my father.”

Zhuge Yan smiled.

“Your father is a really cool person.”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned around again.

“wait. “I’m coming out after changing the bandages.”

Just like that, Yeon Ho-jeong entered the room.

Zhuge Yan’s expression, which had been grinning, became increasingly serious.

“…Maybe you’re overdoing it for no reason.”

* * *

“Wal!”

Whoa!

“Aaaah! “Why are you hitting me again?”

“Oh, was it you? “I wondered if a crazy dog was barking again.”

Full-sang touched his head.

“Maybe it’s me, damn it.”

“shit?”

“…Hehe, you must have heard wrong. Could it be that he did that to Master?”

“It’s terrible.”

Hwa Jin-cheon walked the gwando without a trace.

Full-sang licked his lips and followed suit.

“How was it?”

“Yeonhojeong?”

“yes.”

“I heard it was more than a rumor?”

Full-sang’s eyes shone.

“As expected from Master, it’s a bit unusual, right?”

“Yes, there was a feeling that the rumors had actually diminished. “It’s so extraordinary that it’s almost dangerous.”

Full-sang’s face hardened.

Hwa Jin-cheon shook his head.

“Do you know what kind of impression I got from that guy?”

“….”

“Magic person.”

“…!”

“In mystical prayers, he is the one who grows the barren land where not even a single grass root can grow. This is the guy who will turn the world into a mountain and blood sea to make the land fertile. “I have seen many martial artists before, but I have never seen one so dangerous.”

For no reason, a look of displeasure appeared on Moon Man-sang’s face.

“I’m not that kind of person.”

Unexpectedly, Hwa Jin-cheon nodded.

“Things like that happen, too.”

“yes?”

“He is such a desolate person by nature, but if you look at him differently, he smells like a person again. “I don’t know if Yeongaju is taking good care of her or if she is cultivating self-discipline.”

Full-sang’s face brightened.

Hwa Jin-cheon asked as if throwing a question.

“why? “Is it okay to praise a friend?”

“Isn’t that friend my friend? “I’m probably ten years older.”

“The days of dating based on age are over, disciple.”

“lol.”

“Watch carefully. Still, I think I did a good job of educating you mentally to prevent you from falling into evil. “If you watch from the side and seem to be going astray, smash his head.”

“You have to have strength.”

“Stop talking about it and start training for Kangryong 18jang (降龍十八掌).”

“When the time comes.”

“Then you really cut it off at the back.”

“But it’s still good.”

“Wow, this guy is called a disciple.”

Full-sang asked quietly.

“You also resolved the issue well, right?”

“Should I, at this age, be looked upon with resentment instead of a disciple? “You are the one to do this from now on.”

“Haha! Think about it.”

In the end, Hwa Jin-cheon also laughed at his student’s antics.

While walking along Guando, Hwa Jin-cheon looked up at the sky and suddenly felt an unknown anxiety.

‘It’s a heavenly machine….’

I guess I’ll have to go see the fortune teller’s face at least once.
