Episode 187
In fact, the thread was not broken (5)
“Did you have a good trip?”
“Your father.”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Sure. I’m a soldier. “I don’t fight at the vanguard.”
“The military that moves with the unit is the enemy’s top priority target. The reason is that when a soldier disappears, the head of the unit disappears. A unit without a head is bound to see its combat power plummet.”
“Unfortunately, there is another incredibly smart human in the Mortal Army besides me.”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“You mean Commander Yeon?”
“yes.”
Zhuge Yan sighed.
“Even though he did not specialize in strategy and tactics, he used amazing tactics. “When it comes to local tactics, he may be better than the scholars at home.”
“Everyone knows how outstanding Commander Yeon is. However, the enemy does not know that, so as a soldier, you must always be careful.”
“It was a group of magic bandits anyway. “There would have been no record of dealing with a military unit.”
“So I think that’s fortunate.”
Zhuge Wenhu took a sip of tea.
“So what was the corridor like? “What impression did you get from them?”
Zhuge Zhen’s answer was overwhelming.
“Powerful b*stards.”
In those words, Zhuge Zhen’s anger and disgust toward the corridors were clearly captured.
“Those who are weak to the strong and strong to the weak. We don’t know how horrible such people can be to the weak. But they went too far.”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“These are people who have made their area of activity thousands of miles, including the Cheonghae and Gansu areas. That’s for ten years. “It is difficult to imagine how great the density of evil would be if the water had been stagnant for ten years.”
“Anyway, I feel refreshed inside.”
“ha ha ha.”
Although she was a very confident daughter, I never thought she would say something like this.
Is it because he worked with the Mortal Army? Is it because I have finally looked into the evil side of the world?
Zhuge Yan also changed a lot. It was even sharper than before, and the military strategy aimed at evil was like a cold treasured sword.
“So are you taking a break for a while?”
Zhuge Zhenyan narrowed his eyes.
“well? If no other orders are given, won’t we go on a temporary break? Of course, I won’t just be resting.”
“Hmm.”
“Your father also participates in the Bonggong meeting. “Isn’t this a question I should ask my father?”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.
“That’s right. “I just wanted to tell you this.”
“yes?”
“if….”
“…?”
“….”
“father?”
Zhuge Wenhu sighed deeply.
“If Commander Yeon asks me to join him on another operation, I hope we don’t join him this time.”
“yes? “What does that mean?”
Zhuge Wenhu also couldn’t understand what he was saying.
It was because intuition, not reason and logic, reared its head. For some reason, I have a feeling that Yeon Ho-jeong will be at the forefront when handling this Heukdo-related matter.
“I don’t know either. However, Commander Yeon may receive another mission soon.”
“Mission?”
“okay.”
Zhuge Yan smiled.
“father. I belong to the Army of Death. Hojeong is my friend, but he is also my boss. “If the military commander orders us to join together, we have no choice but to follow without a word.”
“know.”
“You do this even though you know.”
“But I am a soldier of the Murim Alliance. Since the leader has not yet been elected, it is the feudal lords who give orders. Thanks to this, Abby also has some strength.”
Zhuge Zhen’s face showed a look of puzzlement.
“Why are you acting like a father?”
“I’m saying this because I think it’s that dangerous.”
“yes?”
Zhuge Wenhu closed his eyes.
‘Am I worrying too much?’
We are developing strategies to attack Yangcheon from various angles. And those strategies will soon be narrowed down to one.
But why?
For some reason, I had a feeling that Yeon Ho-jeong would be involved in that strategy.
It was truly a random idea. It is true that Yeon Ho-jeong moved a lot, knowingly or unknowingly, after the founding of the Murim Alliance, but there were also unimaginable amounts of movement in places he could not look into.
There was no guarantee that Yeon Ho-jeong would intervene in this case. In the first place, the Mortal Army is a military unit and not a special force.
But why?
Somehow, I got the feeling that Yeon Ho-jeong would be keeping an eye on this matter.
‘Why do I feel that way? It has nothing to do with that child.’

——————
Zhuge Munho, who was pondering, suddenly realized the reason.
‘Moyong-gun.’
Yes.
It was Moyong-gun who came up with the core of this plan. And wherever Moyonggun was, there was always Yeonhojeong.
Moyonggun and Yeonhojeong. Yeonhojeong and Moyonggun.
When one of the two sets foot in one place, the person standing on the other side also follows.
That was the case even before the Murim Alliance was founded. The two held hands even when destroying the Guju Myungga.
‘The two were always together. By giving and receiving, we are lifting each other to a higher level.’
Tangma Commander Mo Yong-woo?
He is also a great talent, but in the end, Yeon Ho-jeong will be seeing Mo Yong-gun through Mo Yong-woo. In other words, Mo Yong-woo is nothing more than a chess piece played by Mo Yong-gun.
Zhuge Wenhu sighed once more.
“no. This guy was talking nonsense for a while. Forget it.”
“…yes.”
He looked out the window.
A cool wind was blowing.
‘Commander Yeon. What are you moving so quickly for? Is it really to prevent power from being concentrated in Prince Moyong?’
* * *
Haha!
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out as the sword struck the air like a slash.
Jiiiing! Jeeeeee!
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
The sword that created a colorful afterimage in the air disappeared in a flash of sparks.
‘It’s getting bigger and bigger.’
The lightning that travels around the long sword and discharges gradually becomes clearer.
That wasn’t all. The stem of the thunderbolt also became thicker, and the electric power surrounding the sword body was greatly amplified.
Even without training separately, the skill level of Thunder Strike has deepened. As the aftereffects of the brain-jeonggong deepened, the density of the brain-stop energy also increased as soon as the sword power was raised.
Ji-ing! Jiiiing!
Mo Yong-gun opened his mouth, looking down at the menacingly flashing sword body.
“You probably don’t know that it’s rude to secretly look into other people’s training, right?”
As if waiting, a young and powerful voice was heard.
“I thought it was okay to look because everyone knew people were there but they ignored it.”
A smile appeared on Mo Yong’s lips.
“It seems like your tongue has become more toxic after just seeing you for a while.”
“It seems like your sword has become sharper while my tongue has become poisonous.”
“is it? “You wouldn’t have been able to see through all of my skills with that dance, right?”
“I saw a little bit, not everything. “At that time, your inner energy density was not that deep.”
I really can’t beat this.
‘A genius is a genius.’
How sharp of an eye must one have to be able to look into the density of the inner strength of a person of a higher level than oneself?
Suddenly, Prince Moyong felt a ray of desire to win.
“How is it? Sir, you have seen my sword. Would you like to take it with your axe?”
“I don’t like it.”
“Are you scared?”
“exactly. “I feel like if I get hit by that destructive thunder energy, I’ll be very sick for several months.”
“Ohh.”
“You won’t? That couldn’t be possible, right? “If there’s no one around, if we get into a fight, don’t you think you’ll fight it out?”
Mo Yong laughed out loud.
“I really can’t stand it.”
Phew.
The threatening thunderbolt slowly diminished. Then the hot air cooled down in an instant.
Slurp.
Prince Moyong, who had a sharp sword, turned around.
Yeonhojeong was there.
“It’s been a while.”
“That’s right.”
“I heard you’ve been quiet so far.”
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
“Is there anything else? “Someone left behind the rare and difficult task of becoming the vice-leader of the Murim Alliance, and since I had never even thought about that part, I had no choice but to curl up and sleep.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“I’m glad I got a good shot.”
“It was the most painful fist I’ve ever swung. “For a moment, my mind became dizzy.”
“So, let’s put aside our ambitions and join hands to decorate the flower bed together.”
“There isn’t even a single weed in the flower bed that you are supporting at your home. “I don’t tolerate even a petal or a bug in the flower beds I see that I don’t like.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“exactly?”
“That’s right.”
“So you helped? “If Yang Cheon gathers power, it will be a headache in many ways, right?”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“No matter who becomes the leader or who takes power, Yangcheon is a problem. “Shouldn’t I also do my best in this area?”
“Are your intentions pure?”
Prince Moyong said as if it was obvious.
“Of course not.”
“I knew so.”
“Neither you nor I are people who help others without any intention, right?”
“I’m sorry, but please don’t put us in the same class. “I still have some innocence left that I haven’t shown you.”
“Don’t make me out to be such a bad guy. “In some ways, you are a more toxic person than me.”
Prince Moyong sat down on a flat rock. Then Yeon Ho-jeong also leaned against a tree with his arms crossed.
“Yes, you must have been exhausted from your journey, but why did you come all the way to Ye?”
“Don’t you know?”
Prince Moyong, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, chuckled.
“If you do that, you won’t be able to live up to my name.”
“hmm?”
“I know your skills, your father knows them, and the entire Murim Alliance knows them. But why is it said that geniuses are short-lived? “If you don’t know your limits and go wild, you will soon find yourself in trouble.”
“Things like that happen, too.”
Mo Yong-gun’s expression became serious.
“Do you want to be the core of this operation?”
“exactly.”
“Why?”
“Because there is a need for that.”
“Is that necessary? I don’t know. “What kind of gift does this operation to invade Yangcheon give you?”
“Animals don’t only move when chasing prey. “It also moves when an opposing predator appears.”
“It’s not about getting something, it’s about escaping danger?”
“exactly.”
“Even if it’s not you, there are many experts.”
“I know.”
Prince Moyong, who was looking up at Yeonhojeong, opened his mouth.
“Speak clearly. The subject of this strategy is me, not Zhuge’s military. And I am willing to make some sacrifices to get what I want.”
“….”
“Did you know?”
“If I didn’t know, why would I have come to you instead of going to Zhuge’s military?”
The corners of Moyong’s mouth rose.
“Do you trust me?”
“I believe in your abilities.”
“I could pretend it’s not and throw you into the abyss of death. “I am confident that we will never escape this time.”
“You must be young.”
“Do you still want to fight under me?”
“Because that way we can minimize sacrifice.”
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
“You have become a saint. “Don’t be like yourself.”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“It’s not a situation where you don’t know when and what will happen. “This time, I’m not going to embarrass you, but for ‘us’ sake.”
“…It seems like you’re serious.”
“Then let me ask you something too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face also became serious.
“Do you trust me?”
A bitter smile appeared on the lips of Prince Moyong, who was quietly watching Yeonhojeong.
“I don’t believe it. But I believe in your abilities.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
“Please take care of me. “Just this time.”
Mo Yong-gun waved his hand.
“Do your best. Just this once.”
