Episode 222
Shake it up (2)
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
‘Smile?’
Surprisingly, Yang Cheon could not read Yeon Ho-jeong’s sincerity from his smile.
Even if you don’t have much experience in the world, once you have reached the level of Yang Cheon, it is not that difficult to understand the essence of a person at a glance.
And in fact, Yang Cheon was confident that he had seen through the essence of the young man named Yeon Ho-jeong.
‘Extreme defeat. A guy who has his own firm lines, but is willing to do anything if necessary.’
That was the Yeonhojeong that Yangcheon saw. In fact, it was similar to Yeon Ho-jeong’s personality.
But why? I definitely read the gist of it, but I couldn’t tell what he was thinking right now.
Unless he was a god, how could he read other people’s thoughts? This was the first time I had ever seen someone who was able to hide himself so thoroughly.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“What do you think, Vice Lord?”
“What I think means nothing.”
“It has meaning.”
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
“What does it mean? “If it’s really you who did it, do you want to know how I’ll get out?”
“no.”
“if?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression suddenly became somber.
“As I said before, I hope Buju is a person who sees far away. And since I am a person who sees things from afar, I hope my subjective opinions are clear.”
“Hoo?”
“So I’m curious. “What value is this question?”
Yang Chen smiled faintly.
“It’s different from the confident appearance you’ve shown so far. “I hope you don’t try to muddy the topic by saying things that are off topic.”
“I’m not trying to obscure the topic.”
“if?”
“My answer means nothing. “If you think that Manager Yang is suspicious, all you have to do is investigate further and find out the truth.”
“…!”
“If the truth that has been reached has my name on it, why don’t you just go and catch me and cook it? However, if the reaction will change depending on my answer, it means that I am not confident. So asking such questions is truly meaningless.”
A representative example is Moyong-gun.
Of course, Mr. Moyong sometimes pokes at me, but he usually doesn’t ask questions this directly. Most of the time, I figure it out on my own, plan it out, and then talk to myself to decide whether to cook this guy or not.
It is a virtue to be thorough and not leave any room for the opponent to escape. Although he is not highly regarded because he only uses his outstanding abilities to gain power, at least his courage is not small.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I’ll say it again. My answer is meaningless. What matters is carelessness and determination.”
“….”
“So it’s not off topic. I can’t do that. “From the first time I met Buju until now, Yang Buju has been at the center of every word my mouth has spoken.”
Yang Chen burst out laughing.
“You guys are so determined to teach me.”
“A gentleman finds something to learn even from a child’s complaints. “Don’t be shy.”
“ha ha ha!”
Yangcheon, who was bursting into laughter again, stopped laughing for a moment and looked at Yeonhojeong.
And then I asked again.
“Did you steal it, the heir of Guicheolgeommun?”
It was the same question.
Surprisingly, Yeon Ho-jeong also answered obediently this time.
“no.”
A smile spread across Yang Chen’s lips.
“It’s not you?”
“exactly.”
“Can I trust you?”
“Judgment is the responsibility of carelessness.”
“That’s a strange answer. “Such words are usually uttered by someone who is trying to hide what he has done and is making his last effort.”
A smile similar to Yang Cheon’s appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“I understand. “I’m going to stop teaching you, so believe what you want to believe.”
“Are you going to be stubborn?”
“Even if you can’t defeat him with martial arts, you will be able to defeat Yang Buju with stubbornness.”
“Khaha!”
Now a hearty laugh full of sincerity bursts out.
Yang Chen said with satisfaction.
“I believe in you.”
Once you believe, you will believe until the end. If you’re going to doubt it, don’t believe it in the first place.
Yang Cheon was that kind of person. Although he caused harm to the common people in the process of destroying innocent sects and uniting the Black Island, he was also a man of outstanding personal charm.
People always live with two sides.
To Kang Ryang, Yang Cheon is Cheolcheon’s enemy who killed his parents, but to his subordinates, Yang Cheon is the hope of the Black Island.
So Yeon Ho-jeong had no hesitation in deceiving Yang Cheon.
“Even if you think about it with common sense, it doesn’t make sense. “There is no need for someone who came with the intention of making me his master to ruin the deal with something unnecessary.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I might be Sejak.”
It was a word that completely removed the other person’s doubts.
Yang Chen shook his head.
“What kind of idiot in the world would use a talented person like you as a waste of money?”
It was a common sense statement. But he was overlooking one thing.
Sejakdo resources are also available.
“That part is done. “I asked if he would like to try it out, and he gave it to me in return for a few words.”
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
“It’s good. The deal has already been concluded. “All that’s left is confirmation.”
“It is also the moment when we must be most nervous.”
“Do you also do this thing called nervousness?”
“When necessary.”
At first glance, seriousness appeared on Yang Cheon’s smiling face.
“Actually, there are quite a few things I really want to ask about besides this. “Well, just ask about it little by little and that’s it.”
“….”
“The deal is just around the corner, so let’s see if I can ask.”
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
“What position do you want? “What do you want to do at headquarters?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up like a thunderbolt.
It was a sincerity that could not be hidden and did not need to be hidden. He was really looking forward to this story coming out.
“Looking at your martial arts skills, it wouldn’t be surprising if you were immediately placed in a leadership position at the level of a zodiac. However, no matter what country it is, such unconventional personnel measures are bound to be burdensome.”
“I understand.”
“Looking at your wisdom and organizational reorganization, your talent as a military officer appears to be outstanding. “There is no official military position at headquarters, so it wouldn’t be too surprising if you took that position.”
“The question is whether or not the troops under your command will follow.”
“Yes.”
If Yeon Ho-jeong takes a military position, he will have the authority to control the entire power of the Mukryongbu.
The military position is like that. Depending on the situation, there are times when even the vice commander must follow the military’s words.
It is truly an incredible power. It is a position that is above all people and can be said to be a position that can influence the fate of an organization beyond its military strength.
Of course, Yang Cheon also had no sincere intention to place Yeon Ho-jeong in the military. Although he was coveted because he was such an outstanding talent, it was not enough to bear that level of political burden.
“But we can’t give him an extremely low position. “A position that is low compared to one’s abilities will inevitably reduce work efficiency.”
Yang Chen asked coyly.
“What do you think?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly watching Yang Cheon, shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, I didn’t come here aiming for an awkward position.”
“I guess so.”
“But I don’t want to work while worrying about what others think.”
“I will pay close attention to your personality.”
“Let me be clear. “I want to rise to the level of leader of the Mukryongbu.”
“hmm.”
“I know this is a burdensome greeting. And I also know that in the long run, it will have a negative impact on the Mukryongbu.”
Yang Cheon smiled without realizing it.
This confident guy was looking at the future of the Mukryongbu, not his own power.
“okay. “What should I do?”
“I don’t like things that are half-hearted, and a low position is not a consideration in the first place. In that case, the only thing left is a leadership position, and if I sit in that position, the burden of carelessness will increase, and I will also have to waste my mental energy on useless political disputes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Then why don’t I come back with a feat that they can all recognize?”
There was surprise on Yang Chen’s face.
“Are you coming back with merit?”
“exactly.”
“You even brought a reorganization plan as a transaction item, so you’re going to do one more thing?”
“I’m just proving myself. “If the deal goes through, Mukryongbu will also become the place where I have to bury my bones, so I will do whatever it takes to benefit the wealth.”
I will do anything for the growth of the Mukryongbu.
It was a line that Yangcheon could not help but feel thrilled by.
“If you do this, what kind of merit do you plan to achieve?”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
“I thought about what the Mukryongbu currently lacks.”
“….”
“I don’t know how it was obtained, but surprisingly, the financial power of the Ink Dragon Department is enormous. “I can’t guarantee, but at least it seems like we’re not behind the Baekdo Murim Alliance.”
“Yes.”
“There is a quality problem with the military, but this is not a problem that can be dealt with in a short period of time. “It is a problem that can take as little as five years or as long as decades.”
“That too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took his hand off his chin and said with a smile.
“There is enough funding, but the military is a problem that cannot be solved immediately. “Then there is only one thing I can do.”
“…?”
“Taking away the profits destined for Baekdo Wulin.”
“…!”
“There is no shortage of funds, but extracting funds from those who will become our future enemies will certainly be a meaningful attack.”
Yang Chen’s eyes wavered.
“Are you sure you want to mess with the Murim Alliance?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“That’s too much of a handshake. “It would be better for us to maintain the current situation until sufficient preparations are made.”
“Of course it is. “If that’s the case, it means cutting off funds to the Murim Alliance without their knowledge. Is that possible?”
The eyes of the Murim League extend to all parts of the central plains.
No matter how secretly things are handled here, it is difficult to avoid the eyes of the Murim Alliance. And if you make a mistake, it could lead directly to war.
“It is possible. At least in Hunan Province.”
“…!!”
“As Honam and Gangseo are inland regions with developed commerce, there are many merchants and battlefields that trained with the Murim League. “I will cut them off one by one and eventually turn Hunan Province into the world of the Silent Dragon.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“At least I think it will be better than now, where only the pattern is king.”
“Huh.”
Yang Cheon stuck out his tongue.
“Do you think it is possible to commit such a thing without being detected by the Murim Alliance?”
“So even if the deal goes through, don’t give me the position right now. Because I will move completely independently. Even if you are discovered, shouldn’t you have anything to do with the Mukryongbu?”
“If you mean to make merit, then…!”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.
“I have to risk my life to prove my worth.”
“Hehehe.”
“I’ll take one and eat it. Then give me a position. After that, I will organize Honam.”
At that time, a white paper came out of the corridor.
“My lord.”
“How was it?”
“The results of ten battles have been released.”
Sipjeon meant that it was perfect without any defects. In other words, not all of the smart people in the dark city could find a loophole in the organizational chart.
Yang Cheon smiled and looked at Yeon Ho Jeong.
“You’re welcome.”
Yeon Ho-jeong knelt down.
“Zheng, the successor of King Wu, sends greetings to the Vice Lord.”
