Episode 39. Head first commits and then rolls (3)
rattle!
“Confucius!”
The door opened violently. At the same time, the tobacco smoke that had been flowing in the room quickly escaped.
Shenhui didn’t care about his rudeness or the fact that the tobacco had become poisonous.
“Did you hear? In Jamirou… … .”
“I heard you.”
Whoa.
Dark smoke mingled with the lightly exhaled breath.
Godhead said urgently.
“The situation is not serious. It’s a quiet atmosphere, but the fact that the three actors went there… … .”
“You were targeting me.”
“yes?”
“Are you sure. He’s targeting me and trying to do tricks.”
“How can I… … .”
Hong Yu-moon did not answer. I just stared at the ceiling with languid eyes.
Shenhui swallowed dry saliva.
‘He has changed.’
Since when?
It has become difficult to find a smile on the face of Confucius, who never lost his smile even when lightning struck in front of him. His languid posture reminded him of a dangerous viper, and his hazy eyes were full of ambiguity.
“… … Shall we take action?”
“action? which?”
“… … .”
“The mouth of the mad master is not that cheap. Rather, if there had been an armed conflict, I would have kept my mouth shut even more. Because he is that kind of person.”
“It is, but.”
“Of course I can’t guarantee.”
I can’t be sure, I can’t guarantee it, there is a possibility that it will deviate from my expectations.
Those were the words that Hong Wi-moon, who had lost his smile, had on his lips. Unlike the past, he has changed into a person who is not sure of anything.
“Even if that happens, I can’t take any action. There is no need for that.”
“still… … .”
“I would rather the Gwangma Daeju surrender.”
“yes?!”
Again, this is unexpected.
Hong Wi-moon said while shaking his pipe.
“You know what’s scarier than the truth?”
“… … .”
“It’s a rumor.”
“… … !”
“If I were him, I would have just made a fuss and got away. He would not have made any invitation to the king of the mines. And spiral… … .”
Hong’s eyes flashed.
“I will spread rumors when the public’s curiosity rises to its peak.”
“rumor… … .”
“There must have been rumors that there was some kind of transaction between the crewman and the minefield owner, and that the minefield owner was a puppet playing in the hands of the crewman.”
“… … !”
“The public doesn’t want a trivial ending. Even when the officially recognized truth comes out, they are anxious and raise another possibility. Add more if the truth doesn’t come out. All sorts of scandals will spread in all directions like a fire.”
Godhead’s eyes twitched.
Taking advantage of the public’s desire to ruin one’s reputation was a tactic often used by political strife.
However, it is not easy for the person concerned to know until he is hit.
“Then shouldn’t we take more action?”
Hong Wi-moon shook his head.
“If it were me, it was like that. He could be different.”
“That’s why it’s a matter of letting go… … .”
“don’t worry. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know. If you already know, it’s easy to cover up rumors on this side as well.”
“… … .”
“Rather, if you figure out where the source of the rumor is and blow it up, you can leave it all to that side. We just have to look at how the atmosphere flows.”
Shenhui couldn’t help but marvel.
‘It’s really amazing.’
I admire Hong Wi-moon’s ability to see one or two moves ahead, even when he seems to be worrying a lot these days.
“So you mean we just have to wait?”
“That’s not it again.”
“yes?”
Hong Wi-moon crumpled purple tobacco into his pipe, lit it, and inhaled deeply.
Hoo-wook.
Unlike the previous tobacco, the dreamy smoke gave off a rather fragrant scent.
“A martial art that focuses solely on attacks will break down someday. Offense and defense always go hand in hand. So is politics. You have to prepare and attack the enemy at the same time so that you don’t show any gaps on this side.”
“… … .”
“But that is not my concern.”
Hong Yu-moon closed her eyes.

“How could he know?”
“… … !”
“It is a matter that no one knows about giving back money to the owner of the mines. There is no secret in the world, but it is not a fact that will be revealed this soon.”
“… … Could it be that Jinma Daeju?”
“That is definitely not the case. Because he is a person who will not get caught even if he dies.”
Hong Yu-moon closed her eyes.
‘Is it a cow’s native land?’
There is no way it was spilled by the military department. If so, the most likely source of information is Hwanheewon.
‘At that time, there was some kind of deal between the two.’
That in itself was surprising. Because Hwanheewon is an organization that does not intervene in the succession struggle for generations.
‘It will be the same this time. So Won-ju is not an idiot. I will never get involved in this fight.’
What if that kind of love gave information to Xu Liang?
‘It means that the patient who needs to be saved is that precious.’
It was also surprising that So Yeon-sim knew about the transaction between himself and the giant stock of the mines before that. If this is true, then in the future, you should never touch your small heart.
‘A bitch like a fox.’
It was then.
“Confucius!”
Shenhui frowned at the urgent voice from outside the door.
“What’s going on?”
“The lord of the mines is said to be going to the Criminal Court!”
Surprised, Shenhui looked at Hongwimun.
Hong Wi-moon laughed.
“I don’t know whether to call this a relief or a pity.”
* * *
“Oh yeah?”
“yes. Currently, Gwangma Daeju is under investigation by the Criminal Law Party. The amount is quite large, but it will probably be released in three or three days.”
“I guess so. The value of the name of Gwangma Daeju is not common.”
Ma Dong-pil said with a worried face.
“Are you all right?”
“what?”
“The public will be disappointed with the boatman. But it won’t do any real damage.”
“I guess so.”
“Maybe there is some movement on the part of the crew? I won’t just sit there and watch.”
“I bet he is too.”
Unlike Ma Dong-pil, Seo-ryang seemed quite relaxed. The look on his face as he rested his chin on and scratched Keumho’s cheek was full of languor.
“I don’t think Gongja-nim is worried.”
“worry? what… … If things are going to work out just because you worry, you won’t sleep and you’ll just worry.”
“It is, but.”
“Don’t worry too much. It doesn’t matter how you get out of there. It’s okay to worry about it later unless it’s dangerous enough to blow your throat right away.”
Actually, Xi Liang didn’t pay much attention to that. It was surprising that the lord of the wild horse went to the penitentiary on his own, but didn’t you think it was the meat that he missed in the first place? It was just an unexpected harvest.
What he was worried about right now was Kumho.
‘Look at this.’
Sak-sak.
When he scratches his cheek with his finger, he yawns loudly and tosses and turns. It was so cute to see her lying on her back with her eyes closed and blowing her nose.
Although it has a slightly unique appearance, it is just a baby fox. It is an ordinary beast that does not look grotesque like the ghosts of Gojukrim.
‘But why were you so excited then?’
It was natural for me to be angry because my animal was almost hurt. But I didn’t know that the top would turn that much.
‘Did this guy become so big to me in a short while?’
Whether it’s a person or an animal, time is not that important when it comes to affection… … .
‘And what about the energy at that time?’
Even the extremely sensitive volume of words is so subtle that it is difficult to hear.
‘It’s as if it’s connected to me…’ … .’
Seo Liang shook his head.
It can’t be.
Qi is fluid, and it is the Naegongsimbeop to artificially process and hold such Qi into true Qi that is suitable for the body.
This was the reason why it was difficult to share qi even among people who had mastered the same inner spirit method. Because the nature of qi changes according to the mind and body of a person.
But is it not a person, but shares its ki with an animal? nonsense.
Blink.
Kumho opened his eyes.
His own face was reflected in his eyes as clear as obsidian.
‘but… … Certainly not an ordinary beast.’
He was staying in the ancient bamboo grove, the deepest part of the spiritual energy concentration. It was a great thing to be able to handle such a spirit with a body that had not yet matured.
‘Besides, it would disappear several times without being aware of it.’
It’s similar to the extremely well-trained stealth technique, but a little different. Stealth even erases the presence, but even while Geumho feels the presence, he doesn’t pay attention.
Xiliang shook a piece of boiled pork in front of Keumho’s nose.
Yum!
Geumho quickly chewed on the meat.
This guy, only the size of his forearm, eats an entire plate of meat. I don’t think he has a lot of appetite, but it was strange that he ate everything given to him.
“Because this bastard has a very full stomach.”
Seo Liang, who tapped Keum Ho on the nose, stood up.
You can’t hold on to a worry that doesn’t come out right away.
Let’s spend that time more efficiently.
“By the way, Dongpil, have you improved your skills?”
“yes?”
“The sword ceremony has become quite sophisticated, right? When you shake off those crazy dogs.”
“Oh, did you see it?”
“You can feel it without looking at it. Wasn’t it a goma sword ceremony?”
“That’s right.”
“Instead of slowing down, we eliminated gaps and mixed the techniques of heavy swords… … . good job. Martial arts follow people. Transformed to suit you. That’s a good realization.”
Dongpil Ma’s face showed sincere joy. Confucius, who doesn’t say much about martial arts, said that. He must have been quite impressed.
“Would it be all right if I dare to ask you a question, considering what Governor Lee said?”
“However much.”
“Is this really the right way?”
“What do you mean?”
Ma Dong-pil’s expression became more serious.
“Martial arts that lean to one side are bound to eventually reveal their limits. Even if you have grown temporarily, if you think about whether this direction is truly right… … .”
“I wondered if you were laying groundwork to ask something, but you’re asking a question that doesn’t sound like a question, this.”
“yes?”
Xu Liang snorted.
“Isn’t magic power one-sided?”
“… … ?”
“Being lopsided means losing your balance. At the same time, it also means that there are certain advantages. Also, magic power is also a martial art that maximizes its strengths, so why do you think your swordsmanship is different?”
“… … !”
“By the way, now is not the time to think about such things.”
“It’s not the time to worry… … ?”
“Change means production. Growing up or regressing has its own meaning. Why are you worrying about things like that when it’s not enough to believe in your changing self and move forward without hesitation?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Believe in yourself. Don’t be afraid when it’s time to worry and run. It’s not too late to worry about that now when you reach your limit.”
Anyone can think of it, but Seo Liang’s words resonated with Ma Dong-pil.
It’s the right advice at the right time. On the contrary, since he talked about it insignificantly, there was not even a hint of anxiety left.
Xu Liang pointed at the window with his chin. Beyond the window, a spacious gymnasium was visible.
“But, I understand your feelings. Now that we’ve talked about it, let’s take a look at your martial arts. If you see a corner to correct, let’s tighten or loosen it.”
“Hey, it’s an honor.”
I am filing a complaint against Lee Eon-jung. Ma Dong-pil stood up with a smile on his face.
It was then.
thud! thud!
The sound of knocking on the door.
“I’m from the Criminal Court! Sam Gongja-nim, please open the door!”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“hmm… … Did you not expect this development?”
