Episode 169
Tie a knot (3)
“Have you come?”
The official sat on the chair in silence.
The owner didn’t even tell him to sit down, but he sat down. It was an incredibly rude behavior, but Prince Moyong didn’t care. It was because I knew that he was that kind of person.
“Would you like some tea?”
“It’s enough tea.”
“if?”
The officer asked with a puzzled face.
“Do you have any liquid left?”
Prince Moyong coughed.
“I drank all the five liquids and I have Geomnamchun.”
“Then let’s leave one empty.”
“Let’s do that.”
After a while, the two people sat down with their glasses facing each other.
Prince Moyong asked as he poured alcohol into a glass at the hotel.
“What are you doing at this hour?”
“You’re guessing, aren’t you?”
“Of course I can guess.”
Moyong-gun, who had even filled his own glass, stroked his beard.
“Yeonhojeong, are you here because of that guy?”
The official frowned openly.
“What on earth is he?”
Moyong-gun smiled. It was a smile that hinted at bitterness.
“I knew that question would come up at some point. So, I was preparing an answer to that in advance.”
“….”
“I’m not sure.”
“What answer is that?”
“It’s true. “He is the eldest son of Byeoksan Yeonga, a crazy man who tried to attack the Guju Myeongga alone, and an expert who broke through the barrier of martial arts as the youngest martial artist of his time.”
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“Besides that, I don’t know. “I investigated using all kinds of informants, but his past was too ordinary.”
To be exact, he was the epitome of a good watcher.
He was a guy who could not find a reason to grow into such a monster. That’s why I said it was ordinary.
“So what did the head of the party see about him?”
Tang Gwan’s eyes deepened.
“I don’t know if it’s a monster, but I’m sure it’s a snake.”
“Hehehe.”
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“You’re a snake. A serpent that is bigger than a dragon and more ferocious than a tiger. But even that might not be his true self.”
“What do you mean?”
“He is a person who can change as much as he wants depending on the situation and the opponent. “In front of a rat, you will raise your claws like a cat, in front of a cat you will show your teeth like a wild dog, and in front of a wild dog, you will pounce like a leopard.”
“….”
“I can roughly guess what he must have looked like in front of you. “He probably showed unimaginable extremes.”
The temple’s nose trembled.
I sent him away alive, but even thinking about it now makes me angry. Really, I’ve never seen a guy talk like that in front of me.
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“It happens to me sometimes too. However, it will definitely be different from what I showed you.”
“I understand one thing.”
“What do you mean?”
After refreshingly emptying his glass, the official spoke with venomous eyes.
“That he is a dangerous guy.”
“….”
“I don’t know what he wants. I don’t even want to know. But this guy is willing to go to war to get what he wants.”
“Good to see.”
“And…”
“And?”
The official, who had been deep in thought, shook his head.
“no.”
He filled the glass himself and spoke as he passed by.
“Anyway, I decided not to touch him for the time being.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
‘It’s definitely not bad.’
Tang Gwan is a rough guy.
Although he was rough, he was also a person who clearly knew when to hit and run. The tyrant who reigns as the king of Sichuan also has this aspect.
‘He may not be suitable to be the ruler of the world, but he is a man more than enough to maintain the position of rout in a region. If you control it well, it will definitely be of great help.’
He joined hands with the party, but had no intention of sharing everything.
The top priority is always your dream. However, I thought it would be okay to hand the remaining meat to the hotel first.
As long as it doesn’t deviate too much.

Moyong-gun was saddened by a thought that suddenly occurred to him.
‘It’s disappointing once again.’
The fact that two of the six great generations of the world are having this conversation together proves that Yeon Ho-jeong is a rare masterpiece.
If you think about it, it’s truly amazing.
Are you having a hard time because of a young man who has just escaped the terms and conditions? Does this make any sense?
‘I’m so sorry. It would make things a lot easier if he would move for me.’
Moyong-gun, who had been chewing his appetite for no reason, opened his mouth.
“Maybe he asked for something?”
The official’s eyes widened.
“How did you know?”
“As expected.”
Prince Moyong emptied his glass and continued speaking.
“I thought about it when you asked me to arrange a meeting with you. “I wonder why they asked me to open the bridge at this point.”
“….”
“Isn’t it one of the two? “Either he was trying to push you, or he was trying to get something from you.”
“….”
“If I had planned to corner the owner of the Four Heavenly Dang Family, there is no way I would have gone there alone. Then, naturally, there is only one left. “He went to get something from you.”
It’s different.
The party thought. Moyong is definitely different from himself.
Both he and Mr. Moyong were completely tainted by the faction. However, while fighting against that harsh world and reaching the peak, they developed different abilities.
While he was good at pushing with instinct and strength, Prince Moyong was good at resourcefulness and scheming.
It is difficult to say whose abilities are better. In an emergency situation, when you need to fight politics behind the scenes, Prince Moyong would be better.
‘Then…’
This would mean that the eldest son of the Yeon family is skilled in many fields to the point where he can deal with himself and Prince Moyong at the same time.
‘It’s a monster.’
Mo Yong asked.
“So what did he ask for?”
The official smiled bitterly.
“They asked me to borrow the skills of the artisans from the main family for a while.”
* * *
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
Full-sang whistled without realizing it.
“This is the first time in the world that I’ve seen iron bars made with so much effort.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
A long chain fell to the floor with a soft sound.
Surprisingly, the chain was black-grey in color. Although it was shaped like a chain that people commonly think of, it had a strange shine, so it looked extraordinary at first glance.
Full-sang glanced at Yeon-ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong was looking at Cheolsae as if fascinated.
“Do you like it?”
“very.”
“Okay, I see you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grabbed the end of the iron chain and swung it vigorously.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A long iron chain flew through the air with the sound of metal clashing.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s wrist moved smoothly.
Sigh! Sigh!
Full-sang’s eyes widened. Mukbi also looked at Cheolsae with a surprised face.
‘It’s moving?’
It was an amazing sight.
I just held the end of the chain and lightly twisted my wrist, and it was writhing on its own.
It’s like seeing a living dragon. Even though it wasn’t that thick, it gave off a powerful and dynamic feeling.
‘how?’
It was like watching a mysterious magic trick. Even though he didn’t use that much force, he was giving off a strange sense of discomfort.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been handling Cheolsae for a while, suddenly swung his arm wide.
Awesome! Whoa!
The tip of the iron chain pierced the trunk of a small tree in front of the wall.
It was great delicacy. He exquisitely swung the iron chain, which was nearly five feet long, and hit the desired target.
Rather than entangling it, the tip of the iron chain was fired and pierced through it.
It had tremendous penetrating power.
“Hmm, maybe it’s because I’m not used to it yet? “You’re half a beat late.”
Full-sang’s eyes widened.
“This is something you’re not used to?”
“hmm?”
“Did you learn some tricks? “How can you handle that long chain so flexibly?”
No matter how much of a martial arts expert you are, it is never easy to skillfully wield a weapon you have never seen before.
In particular, whips and chains, such as Daebu (大斧) and Memorization, which are Yeonhojeong’s main weapons, are difficult to handle without thorough training.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Even if it’s not enough, it’s still not enough. “This cannot be used in actual combat.”
A degree of flexibility in handling.
That’s all. It may somehow work against someone weaker than you, but against someone equally or stronger, it will be worse than your bare hands.
‘but.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was rarely excited.
‘It’s an amazing weapon. ‘It feels different in my hand than the chain I swung before.’
It is said that in the past, along with the windbreaker, he swung a chain made of steel.
The chain he carried at that time was a weapon specialized for melee. Furthermore, there was little use for it other than as a fatal blow that maximized the power of the windbreaker.
But this iron chain was different.
‘It’s much more flexible than expected. It’s several times harder than the old steel chains, but it’s also very flexible.’
If it’s a weapon like this.
This chain, which had no annoying parts, seemed like it could be used well in short-term one-on-one combat.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened the letter enclosed in the box.
I heard you’ve been building up a great reputation lately. It occurred to me that if I had made this thing sooner, you might have had less trouble. I’m sorry for handing it over to you so late.
He is a good person.
The words written in the letter were full of friendliness, as if Pyeon Il-gang was speaking directly.
And I felt proud. It was probably several times more difficult than making the Gwangryongbu.
I gave it the name Gyoryongswae (蛟龍鎖). Of course, it’s a name I chose at my own discretion. As I said before, the Gyoryongsae contains a precious item called Yusangguicheol (柔像鬼鐵). It is a piece of the world that can increase or decrease depending on the quality and strength of the internal attack. It may be difficult, but I believe you can handle it well.
Yeon Ho-jeong held the Gyoryongswae with both hands and poured out his inner strength.
Wooooow!
Surprisingly, the part of the chain held in his hand gradually darkened and grew little by little.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
‘Amazing.’
Even during the time of Emperor Heukam, I had never heard of a noble person named Yoo Sang-gwi-cheol. It was amazing to see that the changes in gold energy could be controlled through internal energy and the physical properties could be changed.
‘It will be more difficult to deal with. Because there will be no sense of distance. But…’
If you can handle it properly, it will be a very useful weapon.
Chiri riri ring.
He made his arms at a right angle and wrapped them around the chain, placing the chains arranged in a circle on the table.
“uh? “What are you doing?”
“huh?”
Full Sang chuckled.
“Okay, you look like you’re about to die, but you’re not going to start training right away?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I want to do that, but now is not the time.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Didn’t Hugai say he would have the day off today? “Then you should use it as much as possible.”
Full-sang’s face crumpled.
“Am I a thing?”
“So you’re not going to help me?”
“…Soppul.”
Full-sang sat down on the bench with his arms crossed.
“I have an expensive body. “Please give me a drink.”
“Leave the alcohol alone. “I’ll give you a big treat later.”
“You’re not an ordinary piece of trash for being in debt to a beggar.”
Although he was grumbling, his eyes were full of puzzlement and tension. This is because he knows that he is not the person to ask for help unless it is something very serious.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked with a serious face.
“You need to give us some strength.”
“What do you mean?”
“What I’m saying is that we need to make the factional fight among the feudal lords into a true fight.”
Full-sang’s eyes shone.
He immediately understood what Yeon Ho-jeong was saying.
“Can you introduce me to someone?”
“exactly.”
“I heard that the Tangma Slayer Army will be heading out together in a few days.”
“So we have to move even faster.”
“Before I go on the campaign trail, I will create a fight worthy of a fight…”
“Can’t you?”
“It won’t work. The problem is that you have to choose between quality and quantity.”
Full-sang, who was looking up at Yeon Ho-jeong, smiled meaningfully.
“I heard that sometimes good people are scarier. Is that okay?”
