“It’s really unexpected.”

“sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“But why, Your Majesty?”

Rather, it was more shocking to Zhuge Jun to see Yeon Ho-jeong not caring about the emperor while mentioning him so easily.

‘Well, because it’s my brother.’

Isn’t he the best solver in Moorim who has succeeded in all kinds of missions that seemed impossible? Moreover, he is a genius who reached the top of the world before he was 30, and he is a giraffe who surprised the world by intervening not only in the martial arts world but even in the imperial palace crisis.

If you list only the issues that have been resolved right now, it is not surprising that it ranks higher than any other name in Seongcheon. Zhuge Jun’s opinion was that his reputation was far short of what he had accomplished.

‘And yet, without being drunk on fame, he runs around the world trying to solve the problem at hand. Under the belief that we must do so.’

It won’t be easy for anyone to do this. Especially, if you have gained the reputation of discussing the world at a young age, the fame is bound to put a lot of weight on your shoulders.

Yeon Ho-jeong had no such bravado or swagger.

Zhuge Jun opened his mouth.

“After hearing the news that the Shinhwa Church was targeting the imperial palace, Lord Yeonga, Lord Paenga, and even the Vice Lord of the Inkryongbu headed to the imperial palace.”

“Yes, I know.”

Yangcheon could be said to be the master of Yeonhojeong externally. The reason Yangcheon was referred to as Mukryongbuju was not because he was rude, but because he made his affiliation clear.

“Unless the entire Shinhwa Church steps forward, it will be difficult to break through the small but well-gathered allied force between the government and the government.”

“Furthermore, the imperial palace’s power is enormous. “It’s a situation where there are all kinds of poisons, artillery pieces, and even soldiers.”

“yes. “It will be difficult to break through unless the entire Xinhua Church steps forward.”

“hmm.”

“But the person who actually came forward was the Shinhwa religious leader.”

“Yeah, I know that too.”

“For you, my brother, who has reached such a distant point that I doubt whether I will be able to get anywhere even if I have practiced martial arts for a lifetime, which is so far away from me, in your opinion, is the power of the Shinhwa Cultist at a level that can break through the walls of the imperial palace and reach Your Majesty?”

Yeon Ho-jeong thought of the leader of Saeum Church.

He was strong. It was strong, thorough, and fierce. Furthermore, the honed martial arts themselves are so threatening that a master of the same hand would have a high probability of defeat.

For the Gwanghyeol and Shinhwa sect leaders who stand shoulder to shoulder with the Saeum sect leader, their inaction can truly be seen as reaching heaven.

“There is ample possibility.”

“ah.”

Zhuge Jun’s eyes fluttered.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s father, Yeon Wi, is also a super expert in non-geuk dramas. Even though there is a fighting king, Yangcheon, and the light spirit demon army, Gokgyeong, they are saying that there is a good possibility.

‘Do you mean that much?’

If the martial arts skills of the leaders of the three religions were that great, no one would really know what would happen in this war.

“It’s truly out of this world.”

“It may be beyond the pale, but that doesn’t mean it overwhelms my father and master. The difference in skill between people who have reached that level is large but small. The greater the possibility of breaking through, the more likely it is to be blocked. “It is a fight between anti-ships whose future cannot be predicted.”

“…okay.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“But while you’re asking about His Majesty, you suddenly ask about the Shinhwa cult leader.”

“Actually, I have more than one question.”

“I guess so. So why, Your Majesty?”

Zhuge Jun sighed.

“I heard it from my father. “It is said that the reason His Majesty stayed away from political affairs for a long time and coveted luxury was to gain strength at a critical moment.”

“There are a lot of things that have been omitted. “That is correct.”

“If you hadn’t sent Lord Yeonga, Lord Paenga, and my sister back then, wouldn’t Your Majesty still have shown her true self?”

“I don’t know why you’re asking, but I don’t know. However, from what I could see, His Majesty had already reached his limit. “I would say it’s to the point where I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Did you?”

“On the outside, he appears to be middle-aged, but in reality, he is at an age where it would not be surprising if he passed away at any time. “He lived patiently for decades to spread his wings again, but now that he has reached old age, no human can help but feel anxious.”

“….”

“No one can defy the human lifespan. “There is no one in the world who can control lifespan.”

Unless you use left-handed tricks.

Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t even bother to say anything.

“It’s good.”

I managed to finish the porridge while talking. Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.

“I didn’t even know I was hungry, but after eating, I felt energized.”

“I want Your Majesty to live longer than anyone else.”

“hmm?”

“I learned a lot about the reign of the empire while taking classes at Sojiazhu.”

“I guess so. “Because it’s Zhuge Dynasty and nowhere else.”

“Before you fell into shamanism, Your Majesty’s abilities were superior to those of any monarch in history. He could truly be called the greatest soldier of all time. At least that’s how I see it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong thought of the emperor.

Dragon Eyes, whose curiosity and seriousness toward the world, regret toward the common people, and self-destruction are covered up with overwhelming dignity and composure.

‘He’s a great person.’

It’s been decades since he laughed and chatted and lusted after the royal palace, even as he watched it overflow with enemy forces.

It wasn’t a time I could endure with a sound mind. But the emperor did it.

That alone would be enough for the emperor to be evaluated as great. It was almost impossible to continue counseling for decades without going crazy and not giving up until the end.

“I hope that your Majesty will regain his health and carry out his will for the world.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Even if Moorim disappears?”

“yes?”

“If His Majesty were to eliminate the Wulin for the safety of all people and create a true empire, would you still be able to support His Majesty?”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Zhuge Jun’s face.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Hmm?”

“We live for all people. We sacrifice for all people. That is the ultimate goal of our Baekdo political faction. “Aren’t the words ‘consultation’ and ‘justice’ always based on and aimed at the people?”

“….”

“No matter what the shape of the world is, if there is an environment in which the common people can live better, what does it matter to Kangho and Moorim?”

Look at this guy?

Yeon Hao-jeong looked at Zhuge Jun with surprised eyes.

He is the head of the prestigious Zhuge family of martial arts and is already expected to become the head of a famous family due to his outstanding talent.

It was really amazing that a guy like that stubbornly thought about the people without any worldly greed.

“Your father and sister are wise and clear-headed people. “I also have the stubbornness to never compromise on what I think is right.”

“….”

“Now I see that that spirit was the family tradition and blood itself.”

Zhuge Jun looked at Yeon Hao-jeong with bewildered eyes.

Yeon Ho-jeong walked with his arm around Zhuge Jun’s shoulder.

“Let’s go get another bowl of rice.”

“yes? Oh yes. By the way, brother.”

“What are you so curious about again?”

“…I’m sure you’ll be okay, right? “The Allied Forces.”

When Mo Yong-woo asked, Yeon Ho-jeong said that worrying about warrior Yeon-wi was an insult to him.

But it was different now.

As just a son, he was worried about his father.

“You should be okay. certainly.”

* * *

Yeonwi, who was drinking tea, was suddenly startled and jumped up. It was the same in Yangcheon.

Gi Cheon-woong and Peng Moo-gang were puzzled by the two people’s unexpected actions.

“Why are you doing that?”

Yeonwi’s eyes trembled.

“This energy…”

Tension also appeared on Yang Chen’s face.

“It’s incredibly deep.”

Gi Cheon-woong’s eyes sparkled.

“It looks like a great expert is coming.”

It’s not that great.

Two peaceful yet deep energies carried by the wind.

It was an energy that made one feel the greatness of the person himself, not of force. Martial arts are closely related to life, so you can infer a person’s life based on the martial arts character they show, but the energies of the two people I felt right now were completely opposite.

He lived more justly than anyone else. He lived more consciously than anyone else and sacrificed more than anyone else.

That kind of life was clearly reflected in his energy. The sense of powerlessness was enormous, but it was the prayer of a saint that made it impossible to even think about tracing the shame of that great powerlessness.

And from those two streams of energy, Yeonwi and Yangcheon were able to infer who the other person was.

“Please leave.”

Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.

“We will reach the royal palace soon.”

Peng Wugang asked in confusion.

“Who on earth are you saying this? No, before that, the imperial palace is now occupied by just anyone…”

“Not just anyone. There will be no need to wait for permission.”

Yang Cheon let out a sigh.

“It’s Shinseon (神仙)….”

How long has it been?

Four masters stood behind countless guards.

Beyond that.

Two masters with invisible yet magnificent prayers approach.

Now I could feel Ki Cheon Woong and Paeng Mu Gang. What an overwhelming presence the masters approaching from afar have.

After a while.

After passing through several checkpoints, guards cleared the way to the left and right.

“…!!”

Yeonwi’s eyes trembled.

The people who appeared were two old men. But the appearance was very different.

One was an old monk with a thin body and rich robes, and the other was a Taoist monk with the appearance of a hermit, but with a youthful face.

The old monk smelled the mountain temple’s fire.

Nodosa had a fresh forest scent.

The old monk’s prayer reminded me of a huge mountain. A mountain peak that seemed to always be there, without any strong or majestic feeling, came to mind.

Nodosa’s prayer reminded me of flowing clouds. Although I couldn’t recognize it without any cloudy or vague signs, when I suddenly looked up, I was reminded of the free clouds that were always flowing in that place.

Mountains and clouds. The prayers of the two old men invaded each other without hesitation, but coexisted without blurring their individual colors.

It was just harmonious. Just seeing the shape of Mount Tai rising through the clouds spreading everywhere made me feel calm, but my heart raced as if I was seeing Mother Nature right in front of me.

“It’s amazing.”

Despite his thin appearance, the old monk’s voice was deep and calm.

“Not only is there a majestic lion rampaging against the world, but there is even a sword with the power of a fierce tiger, a divine sword that has never been seen before. “There are many extraordinary people in heaven and earth, but it is only when I see these great juniors with my own eyes that I can feel the passage of time.”

It was a distant voice.

The laughing voice was like a Buddhist sutra being recited with a calm mind.

Then the old master spoke.

“The three of you are excellent, but that lava-like expert is truly amazing. “If we look at simple force alone, we can’t be sure who will win even if we fight against you, right?”

“Don’t be so scared. “How are your skills when you cut off your favorite prayer beads with one second of the Taegeuk sword?”

The old master tapped his head with his index finger.

“Isn’t there something wrong here? “I can’t fight a monster like that.”

“That’s interesting. The good news is that contrary to my worries, the imperial palace is fine.”

The old monk Muheo Daesa smiled and looked at Ki Cheonwoong.

“Has the lava already solidified into land? Or are you keeping the black embers alive? “Depending on the answer, I have to decide whether to relieve fatigue or relieve joint pain.”

The corners of Ki Cheon-woong’s mouth rose.

“Is it Gwonsin and Geomseon?”
