Episode 155
Notoriety and Fate (5)
Good moonlight night.
The faces of the two people who were having a drink on a table in the back garden, where no one was looking at them, looked quite bright.
“There is no need to talk much. “Let’s have a drink first.”
“It’s good.”
Jjaeng.
The glasses clashed together, making a clear and beautiful sound.
Yeon Ho-jeong coolly emptied his glass.
“Kyaaa!”
Cool.
I put down the burden on my shoulders for a moment and relieved all the accumulated fatigue. The body is light and the moonlight is good. Adding a glass of alcohol to it makes me feel drowsy.
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“It’s a refreshing drink.”
“There’s no way you’ll be attacked while drinking.”
He is good at telling scary stories with a smile on his face. Mo Yong-woo said with a shocked expression.
“Was it very difficult?”
“That’s just the way it is.”
Actually, considering the days of the Emperor of Darkness, it wasn’t that difficult. Isn’t that where all the fighting between death and death is?
However, he had to pay attention to the safety of the soldiers throughout the fight, and furthermore, he checked each and every one of the dark swords to see if there was anyone he knew from the past.
Is that why? It took a lot of mental energy at every moment. In fact, it was a schedule that caused greater mental fatigue than physical fatigue.
“are you okay. “I think I can just throw it all away from now on.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“I don’t know what happened, but you look very happy. Okay, that’s enough.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“It’s obvious that this side did it, but I can’t imagine how that side survived?”
“….”
“Tell me how you’ve been. “I don’t even have any suitable snacks, so I guess I’ll have to use those as snacks and have a drink.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled brightly.
It’s still the same. At the same time, something subtly changed.
It feels more human than when I saw it before. Mo Yong-woo liked the change in Yeon Ho-jeong.
Although I had only met Yeon Ho-jeong a few times, I was certain that he was not a bad person. Mo Yong-woo truly thought so.
‘He is a dependable younger brother.’
Because he’s not a bad person? That wasn’t it.
Even if Yeon Ho-jeong was a heinous villain, I felt like I would think about him once in a while.
Why? Is it because he was the one who helped me come to my senses while I was curled up?
‘no.’
Mo Yong-woo’s clear eyes contained twinkling starlight.
‘There is something about Yeonje that makes the viewer feel a sense of admiration.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was not the eldest son of a Yeon family renowned for its law and order. Sometimes it was rough and unconventional, and sometimes it was soft and humane.
Those conflicting personalities came together to create a unique atmosphere in Yeonhojeong.
I felt a sense of freedom, as if I could go anywhere once I moved, like I had wings.
“what’s the matter? “What’s on my face?”
“No. “Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but I thought you were a younger brother I could really rely on.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“It’s bland.”
“If possible, I’d like to drink a little more leisurely, but wouldn’t it be better to finish talking about work first?”
“yes.”
Mo Yong-woo explained in detail how he had been and what had happened over the past years.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
“Danga?”
“That’s right.”
“Where is the Jungwon battlefield going and suddenly we have to go to the party?”
“You must have thought that Dangga was better than the central battlefield.”
“Hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Certainly, if a power war is assumed, the party line is better than the midfield battleground. Moreover, since Danggaju is also a feudal lord, it would be good to push for something during the vassal meeting.”
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“I think so too. But…”
He could not easily continue speaking.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“why? “Is it okay to marry someone you’ve never seen before?”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-woo sighed deeply.
“How many people in this world get married after building love first? I also never thought I could escape such a rigid relationship. But…”
“Because of Moyong-gun?”
“…That’s right.”
The two planned to oust Prince Moyong in the future.

However, Prince Moyong was trying to join hands with Danggwan of Danggaju. In other words, it will become a party and political community.
What if the Tang family cannot be excluded from driving out Prince Moyong?
Mo Yong-woo has to kill not only his brother but also his wife’s family.
“It’s worth worrying about.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say that Mo Yong-woo’s decision was half-hearted and that he joined hands with me without any determination.
This is because it is a sufficiently worrying problem. Also, because Mo Yong-woo had such humanity, they thought of appointing him as the Murim lord.
“Actually, I was surprised when the story about the eldest daughter of the Jungwon battlefield came up. “I never thought that you would try to join hands with a new force through me.”
“Strengthening the power base through marriages between powerful families is a method that has been frequently used since ancient times.”
“Ah yes. “I know, but since I’m the target, I can’t help but worry a lot.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Say it out loud. “It’s a useless worry.”
“Are you saying it’s useless to worry?”
“I heard you haven’t even met the girl from the Tang family yet?”
Mo Yong-woo said as if he was embarrassed.
“Of course it is. But my brother and the head of the party will somehow push it…”
“That can’t be possible.”
“hmm?”
Unlike Mo Yong-woo’s starry eyes, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were as intense as the sun.
“The Moyong-gun I know never gives up on himself when faced with a choice between two options.”
“…!”
“Moyong-gun’s words are sincere. “If you don’t like the party’s wife, I will break off the marriage.”
“Of course I think so too.”
“Then there’s nothing to worry about, right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“Let go of the heavy burden of family bonding and meet each other first.”
“….”
“Just because you two met without words, it’s not like your family is going to push you to get married right away, right? “It’s literally just a matter of meeting each other.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Why? “Do you want to lose your mind as soon as you meet?”
“Yeo Yeon-je!”
Mo Yong-woo’s face turned red. Just thinking about it made him feel embarrassed.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled. He seems like a naive guy.
“Don’t feel pressured. It’s about people meeting people. Even if we try to attach various meanings to it, it is nothing more than idle talk. There is a saying that seeing is worth seeing.”
Mo Yong-woo sighed deeply.
“Yeonje is right. “Maybe the reason I feel uncomfortable is because there was no pure intention in the meeting itself.”
“How many people would want to meet with pure intentions? “Were my intentions in coming to you pure?”
“….”
“It’s all like that. It is better to throw away the thoughts that say this is different or that is okay. Of course, there are some issues that cannot be negotiated.”
“Whoa.”
I came here to say it was a good place, but somehow I just keep sighing. A bitter look appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
Yeon Ho-jeong filled his glass.
“Well then, change your mind.”
“hmm? “What does it mean to change your mind?”
“If you don’t like the party’s women’s food, there’s nothing you can do. But what if you like it?”
Mo Yong-woo’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Then you especially shouldn’t get married. “Not only for that person, but also for me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled strangely.
“Correct. It’s romantic. But I think we need to expand our thinking a little further.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why can’t you think of making that person completely yours?”
“…!!”
“You’re giving up because you like it? It’s funny. If you like it, move as your heart desires. So what if you get married? “Then that’s good.”
Mo Yong-woo opened his mouth wide.
“Think about it later. Isn’t it already painful to live under your brother while hiding your true feelings? “I don’t think it’s a bad idea to relieve fatigue by meeting someone you love.”
“…if.”
“hmm?”
“What if the person is greatly shocked? No, that’s probably true.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“At that time, you have to accept all of the other person’s resentment.”
“….”
“You are not meeting that person for the sake of the Mo Yong family to gain the power of the Tang family. Because things have come to this, we are meeting. “At least you have no intention of hurting the other person.”
“….”
“Still, if you still feel bad about it, you can say that you will not marry after meeting the daughter of the party tomorrow. “That is all.”
In the end, everything was meant to be met and decided.
Mo Yong-woo, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry. “I showed my ugly side as an older brother.”
“What do you mean?”
“huh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I never acknowledged you as my older brother? “The fact that you called me ‘younger brother’ is just what you want, isn’t it?”
“what?”
Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong in surprise, laughed out loud.
“ha ha ha!”
The sound of pure laughter filled the night sky.
Suddenly I thought about it and wondered how long it had been since I had laughed so brightly. It really seemed as if all the anxiety and worries that were in my heart were blown away.
Mo Yong-woo, who laughed for a while, then spoke calmly.
“It’s time to sort out our titles. “Call me brother.”
“no.”
“why? “I know I’m lacking, but at least I have the confidence to remain as Yeon-je’s older brother.”
“Do not be ridiculous. “I don’t want to have an ugly person who complains about problems with the opposite s.e.x as my older brother.”
“For everyone, the first time is rough.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Mo Yong-woo, turned his head and drank.
“Wow, it’s refreshing.”
Mo Yong-woo cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
“It’s just something I tried. “If you don’t like it, I don’t plan on forcing you to be sworn brothers…”
“I’ll meet you at the party’s dinner tomorrow.”
“huh?”
“Don’t lose sight of who you are today and meet well. “Don’t make mistakes like a fool.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes shone mysteriously in the pouring moonlight.
“When I return from a good meeting like a man, I will call you brother.”
Mo Yong-woo’s face brightened.
“Don’t worry. Even though I look like this, I still have a manly side…”
“Nothing.”
“There it is! “What do you think of me?”
“well? “The other half doesn’t know how to use their natural talent?”
“Huh, what is your habit of speaking to your brother?”
“Noisy.”
Mo Yong-woo burst into laughter.
It was a good spot. It was truly a good spot. Mo Yong-woo felt truly fortunate to come to Yeon Ho-jeong tonight.
Several orders of alcohol were passed around like that.
“Have you seen all the people who will join Tangma County?”
“I saw it.”
“How was it?”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes lit up.
“They were all outstanding people.”
“I guess so. “Moyong-gun must have paid a lot of attention.”
“And there is one thing we need to discuss about that.”
“What? How to control your subordinates?”
“I’ll take care of that, so don’t worry.”
“There’s something strangely powerful about this part. So, what do you want to discuss?”
Mo Yong-woo said seriously.
“I guess I’ll have to eat one of my brother’s pieces.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Are you going to take a hit?”
“I guess so.”
“hmm.”
“As for this situation…”
“It’s okay. “You don’t have to talk about that.”
“But wouldn’t it be better to keep it?”
“I know about your relationship with Moyong without even looking at it. Besides, I think it would be confusing if I knew too much about it. “There is room for mistake when I meet Mr. Moyong in the future.”
“Hmm, I see.”
“Are you doing well?”
“I think so.”
“Then that’s enough. Just keep doing it like you did before.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
“I will take one item… Hmm, what should I give to Moyong-kun that he will like?”
“There is no need to overdo it. “I just thought it was time to impress my presence on my brother.”
“If you want to show off your presence, it would be best to hand over something fairly thick without raising suspicion.”
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled. A good idea came to mind.
“When is the Tangma army’s scheduled departure date?”
