Episode 190
To my hometown (2)
“Have you come?”
“how are you.”
“Hehe, thanks.”
“Can I sit down?”
“Of course. “By the way, why did you come all the way to this man’s residence when you could have just seen him during today’s meeting?”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes sank.
“This is to give you a word of advice.”
Moyong grinned.
“I’m already looking forward to it. Please wait a moment. “Still, a guest is here, so I should at least treat him to a cup of tea.”
After a while, a teacup with a nice scent was placed between the two.
Zhuge Wenhu did not touch the car.
“We will organize all matters related to Yangcheon at today’s meeting.”
“I thought so.”
“As you may have guessed, the direction of this operation will be to hand over command to Lord Moyong.”
Moyong grinned.
“One of the essential elements of command is speed. A person who has all the strategies mapped out in his head is truly worthy of command. Of course I guessed it.”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“I’ll tell you honestly. Moyongaju’s resourcefulness and insight are outstanding. In a way, it could be said to be the best of all military services.”
“Huh, how can you say something like that? No matter how good my resourcefulness is, it only works for ordinary people. “It is nothing compared to the chairmanship of New World War II.”
“You know, but I’ll say it again just in case.”
An intense light appeared in Zhuge Li’s eyes.
“In military operations, the military is the highest decision maker. Even if all the other servants recognize Lord Moyong as the commander, he cannot become the commander without my permission.”
Moyong smiled meaningfully.
“I know. Of course, it is the military’s responsibility to bear that much political pressure.”
“That’s right.”
Zhuge Liang tilted his upper body forward.
The glow in his eyes as he looked directly at Prince Moyong was hotter than ever.
“Promise me one thing. “This operation will not be entangled with Maeng’s power struggle.”
“Huh, what are you saying that you’re upset about?”
“I think we already have a good understanding of each other’s abilities and personalities. That’s why I’m telling you this.”
It meant that you were a worthy person.
It was a very rude remark, but Moyong didn’t even blink.
“Was this Prince Mo Yong, who was captured by Zhuge Family Lord’s insight, such an unusual person?”
“It’s even scarier because you have a case. “If such a person really comes forward without a case, it is difficult to respond.”
“Hehehe!”
Moyong laughed because those words were funny.
Surprisingly, it was difficult to find any discomfort in that smile. Rather, it was a hearty laugh that even showed a hint of goodwill toward the other person.
Hearing that laughter, Zhuge Lien thought.
‘I became more scared.’
In the past, Moyong-gun has responded with its own sharp response to more than moderate criticism.
But not now. Mo Yong-gun became a person who could laugh sincerely even after hearing harsh criticism and facing clear suspicions.
The most vicious snake in the world has grown to the size of a dragon.
‘What on earth makes you such a monster?’
Of course, I already knew the answer to that.
‘Commander Yeon…’
To be precise, he was surprised by the unconventional attack of the opposing faction, including Yeon Ho-jeong.
However, Prince Moyong was not a person who flinched from surprise. Rather, he was a person who knew how to use it as an opportunity to reflect on his own problems.
He was truly a scary and pitiful person. It would have been better if I had turned my self-reflection to the personality aspect, but I wondered how I could have turned it to political struggles.
Moyong said with a smile.
“Don’t worry. “This person may be a small person who is willing to commit fraud at times, but at least he is a person who knows how to determine the stage where he must fight.”
“….”
“I don’t care about the existence of Tuwang Yang Chen. But if he unites the Black Islands and builds up a huge power, that will be a real problem.”
“That’s right. Even if the Moyong family becomes the most powerful person in the hundred provinces in the future, it is certain that it will be a problem.”
“That’s right. In other words, this fight has nothing to do with party interests.”
Zhuge Wenhu, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong, nodded.
“I believe it.”
“You can believe it. And you can trust this person in the future as well.”
“I’m not sure about that.”
“Whether you cross the mountain or take the Guando route, all you have to do is reach the sea. “I will not deny that I have personal desires, but I am also a person who wishes for the prosperity of Baekdo Martial Forest.”
“I will believe just that part.”
“Hehehe!”
Zhuge Wenhu stood up.
“Moyonggaju.”
“Please speak.”
“Do you know why this person believes the words of Lord Mo Yong? “It’s not like I took a decision.”
Interest arose on Moyong’s face.

“Yeah, I’m curious. “Why do you believe me when you are not the kind of person who will immediately believe me when I tell you to believe me?”
“It’s to show your resolve.”
“Be prepared….”
“That’s right.”
Zhuge Wenho’s face turned cold.
“As a soldier, I must remain neutral. “For the sake of that neutrality, we were blocking party members, including those from the state of California.”
“haha.”
“But the moment even the slightest suspicion is raised about this operation.”
Flash!
In Zhuge Mun-ho’s eyes, life arose.
“At that time, you will feel how severe an attack by a military that puts aside the value of neutrality can become.”
Mo Yong-gun did not erase his smile.
However, his eyes were just as cold as Zhuge Li’s.
Zhuge Wenhu took possession of the gun.
“I committed a lot of rudeness because of unnecessary worries. Whenever you have time, stop by my residence. “I will treat you to a nice drink as an apology for what happened today.”
Mo Yong laughed out loud.
“Don’t they say men become more affectionate when they fight? “Please don’t mind it too much.”
“then.”
Zhuge Wenhu left the room.
Moyong looked at the empty chair and grumbled softly.
“her! People really. “You brewed expensive tea leaves, but how come you don’t even drink a sip?”
That probably means being careful of yourself. I wouldn’t trust anything related to this at all.
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“Do you know, Zhuge Gaju? “That you can throw yourself and all those who follow you into a pit just because you are doubting everything about me?”
Zhuge Mun-ho, who came out of Mo Yong-gun’s residence, called Zhuge Zhen-yeon.
“You called me, father.”
“Have you heard? “The story of Commander Yeon.”
Zhuge Zhen’s face hardened.
“yes. “I heard it.”
“Contrary to my expectations, Commander Yeon seems to have no intention of accompanying the Mortal Army.”
“…This is not an operation to annihilate the enemy.”
Even if it is not a battle of annihilation, a force of the size of an army of annihilators would be of great strength.
In particular, the Immortal Army absolutely obeys Yeonhojeong’s words. They are like friends in private, but the moment they go on a mission, they know how to respond immediately to the commander’s orders.
A troop that gives that much trust can be of psychological help even if they don’t fight together.
Yeon Ho-jeong thinks that even that is not necessary.
‘It’s so like you.’
But I couldn’t help but feel worried. Not only was the opponent an opponent, but the difficulty of the operation itself was high.
Zhuge Wenhu said while looking at his daughter sighing with such a complicated face.
“Would you like to join us?”
“yes?”
“Would you like to go with Commander Yeon?”
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes widened.
“Is that okay?”
Isn’t this the father who said he would get rid of himself even if it meant abusing his power?
But now you are saying the opposite. It was all the more surprising because he is someone who rarely changes what he says once he says it.
Zhuge Wenhu said.
“Chief Commander Yeon’s abilities are clearly outstanding. I can’t think of martial arts or resourcefulness as belonging to someone his age. However, the more people like that, the easier it is for them to reveal their weaknesses at critical moments.”
“Ah…”
“Actually, I don’t want to send my daughter to death either. However, I can breathe easier because the one problem I was most worried about has been eliminated.”
“The issue you were concerned about?”
“There is such a thing.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
“So I’ll ask. Would you like to lead this dangerous operation together with Commander Yeon?”
Zhuge Yan smiled.
A fierce smile appeared on her beautiful face.
“I’ll come back after completing it with flying colors, father.”
* * *
“omg! omg!”
My breathing became disturbed.
Because my breathing was disturbed, my internal energy was not used well. The speed at which stamina decreases has noticeably accelerated, and the reaction speed has noticeably slowed down.
However, Yeonhojeong’s concentration did not drop. On the contrary, it shined even brighter when faced with a crisis.
‘Amazing.’
Wooooow.
The dignity of the strongest person in Byeoksan Yeonga, revealing the intangible sword energy inside the torn sleeves.
‘Great martial arts!’
Yeon Ho-jeong was sure.
The toughest opponent of all, not only from the time of the Emperor of Darkness, but also from all the enemies he has returned to and divided his hands with, is in front of him.
I wasn’t talking about the level of martial arts. In terms of simple martial arts, Yangcheon was strong, and not only Moyonggun during the time of the Murim lord, but also the leader of the Saeum sect could be considered the best in the world.
Even though Yeonwi’s inaction did not reach them, it gave Yeonhojeong the worst sense of crisis.
‘It’s not because I have excellent practical skills. However, a counterattack is impossible. I’ve never been so helpless before.’
Even Yeon Ho-jeong was in a situation where he was being sprayed.
But I couldn’t even touch it. Yeonwi, the head of the Byeoksan Yeonga family, was already fully aware of his son’s martial arts and abilities and was thoroughly targeting only his weaknesses.
Attack weaknesses. It was behavior unbecoming of a Baekdo person who regards fairness as a virtue.
“Do you understand?”
“Gasp! yes?”
Slurp.
The sword energy surrounding Yeonwi’s hand disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“Your practical skills are outstanding. But blackness is different again. There are all kinds of cowardly creatures running rampant in Heukdo Murim. “The petty attacks this lady showed today are nothing more than cuteness compared to their methods.”
That is correct.
However, no matter what kind of expert from Heukdo you are, you will not be pushed back this much.
Because he is a father.
He couldn’t resist because he was a father who observed and remembered his son’s military achievements and habits one by one.
This was the reason why he did not spare his opponent in most cases and why he did not practice in front of others.
This is because anyone with a certain level of insight and skill can tip the scales of the game just by looking at it once.
“The person who stands at the top among them is Yang Cheon. “I hope that doesn’t happen, but if you happen to fall in love with him, you should run away without looking back.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s breathing gradually became more stable.
“Do not worry. “I’m not stupid enough to fight someone I can’t beat.”
“okay.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“That was enough. “To run away from an enemy is the shame of a warrior, but to force yourself to face a force that is too much to handle is a fool’s errand.”
“yes.”
Yeonwi, who was looking at Yeonhojeong, sighed.
“The moment I heard that you were participating in this operation, I started thinking about what to do for you. “Because I know I can’t break your stubbornness anyway.”
“…sorry.”
“Unfortunately, this father can only do this.”
Be aware of your own position. This is the way of the black path.
Yeonwi wanted to make his son realize that.
“You should never overdo it. “More important than missions are people, and those people include you.”
“All right.”
“You must eat and sleep sufficiently before infiltrating the mission site. Only then can you gain strength at a critical moment.”
“yes.”
“And… and…”
Yeonwi closed her eyes.
“Don’t die.”
“….”
“I can turn a blind eye to all your unfilial piety. But I cannot forgive your unfilial piety before your parents.”
“I will definitely come back safely.”
“I believe it.”
Yeonwi turned and walked away.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood there and looked at his father’s back as he walked away for a long time.
