Episode 348
The winner of the dark fight (2)
Sanganru in the opening part was a base that was neither very big nor famous.
Moreover, it was a place that few customers other than foreigners visited. After all, it is a place that rests for more than fifteen days a month, so who would bother to visit a place like that?
Thanks to this, there were endless rumors about Sanganlu. From eerie rumors that it was a hideout for assassins or a base for a gang of black thugs, there were also rumors that it was a store run by a retired man as a hobby.
Naturally, people started snooping around Sanganru out of curiosity. And most of them returned missing or dead. It was the same for both the Yangmin and the Murim people.
The people were filled with fear and reported this to the government, but the government remained silent. Let alone taking action against Sanganru, they did not even try to find out in the first place.
Eventually, people stopped paying attention to Sanganlu. In the first place, it wasn’t because there was a monster coming out of Sanganru, but only people who were snooping around for no reason were harmed.
Moreover, the loud rumors quieted down strangely quickly. In other words, someone intentionally silenced the rumor.
In this way, Sanganlu was forgotten from the memories of people in the opening ceremony. Since no one wanted to know, it had to happen naturally.
‘hmm.’
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes were deeply sunken as he looked at Sanganru in the dark.
‘It’s strange.’
The location of Sanganru was truly strange.
Juru is a place that sells alcohol and food. If you want to do business, of course you have to be in a place that is easily visible.
But Sanganru was not like that. It wasn’t an extremely secret place, but it wasn’t a good place either.
‘It’s a good place to avoid outside gaze. It’s not secret, but it’s a place you won’t remember even if you happen to pass by.’
The corners of Moyong’s mouth rose.
‘That’s interesting. I’m sure it was built here intentionally.’
There was another reason why he was so confident.
‘It’s significant.’
There are countless masters hiding in every corner of Sanganlu. The number is fifty.
Considering the size of the upper eyelid, it can be said that it is not that much. However, what was important was the power of each individual.
‘A peak expert in his fifties? It’s not even a half-baked master’s degree; it’s all 100 per day?’
Prince Moyong inwardly clicked his tongue.
It was more than a family head-level guard for the Sixth Generation. There are levels of so-called peak experts, and they are all mature enough to play a role beyond their capabilities in any battle.
‘hmm.’
Moyong-gun noticed another peculiarity.
‘Yeoyanggong?’
Although he tried to hide it, Prince Moyong’s keen sense of spirit could tell that all of the hiders had learned the martial arts of Geukyang.
Due to its martial nature, Yeoyanggong is not suitable for hiding. Nevertheless, the fact that they were able to kill the enemy to this extent meant that their skills were that outstanding.
‘It’s Yeoyanggong… then what?’
There was a subtle murderous intent in Prince Moyong’s eyes.
‘Are these people from the Shinhwa Church?’
Strength naturally entered my fist.
‘….’
Moyong controlled his breathing softly. He was furious for a moment, but he managed to regain his composure.
‘I’m being escorted by birds and other miscellaneous things… and that’s by the provincial commander.’
The problem is this.
‘Is it really an escort?’
Yes.
Prince Moyong’s doubts were due to the fact that the hiders were somewhat free-spirited in their movements.
Whether it’s Jungwon Moorim or Sae-oe, the escorts are all the same. If you are escorting while hiding your presence, you must sit in a place where it is easy to keep an eye on all directions and do not move. That’s the basics.
But they were different. Although he hid his presence, he was constantly moving on and off the bases.
That was never an escort move.
‘Then…’
Moyong-gun’s eyes deepened.
‘This is worth the risk.’
It was intuition before logic.
grasp!
Prince Moyong immediately climbed onto the roof of Sanganru.
Even if there were fifty masters, the gap between them and Moyonggun was far away. You wouldn’t know if you made up your mind and attacked, but if you made a deliberate move, it wasn’t impossible to deceive your eyes.
Phew.
Fortunately, the night breeze was still cold and the wind speed was reasonable.
The sound of the wind helped Moyonggun move. He carefully entered the window on the top floor.
Whiing!
The wind coming through the window shook the candles.
An elderly man with a sturdy physique who was sitting in front of the table and looking at documents spoke in a grave voice.
“The wind is cold. “It was as if a ghost had come in.”
The voice was muddy.
Looking at the stick on the side of the table, it looked like it had been smoking for quite some time. However, the thick, gravelly voice seemed to add to its unique majesty.
The elderly man looked around the room.
“I can’t see it, but somehow I feel like I’m not the only one. “It feels strange.”
It was a great insight.
Even though he had not learned internal skills, he had quick insight and excellent senses. This could be the intuition of a general who has lived his entire life on a brutal battlefield.
Whether it was an actual battlefield or a political battlefield, Yeo Sang-do, the provincial commander of Hanam, was a man who always achieved victory.
The feeling of someone who has faced countless threats to their lives. Detecting the breath of a threat was a survival instinct that could be acquired even if one was not an expert in the family.
Yeosangdo, who was quietly looking around, closed the window.

He said in a calm voice.
“I don’t know who it is, but it’s a well-soundproof place. “Let’s stop playing with ghosts and show ourselves.”
Slurp.
At that moment, Prince Moyong appeared from a corner of the shadows.
Yeosangdo’s eyes widened slightly.
“What about you?”
“It’s been a while, my lady.”
“…her!”
Surprisingly, the two people were familiar.
Before Yeo Sang-do came to Henam Province as provincial commander, he had been in charge of affairs in Honam Province. It was at that time that Yeosangdo and Moyong had drinks a few times.
A not-so-deep relationship from ten years ago. A person with whom I had not had any contact before came here secretly.
“How do you know about this place…?!”
“Please sit down first.”
Mo Yong-gun waved his hand.
Ugh.
The invisible curtain of energy completely obscured the presence of Moyonggun.
It was an art that required considerable internal energy. However, there was no problem in having a conversation.
Yeosangdo, who was quietly watching Moyonggun, sat down on a chair.
I was surprised, but still calm. He didn’t seem very nervous, nor did he look at the other person easily.
He had the appearance of a top commander in charge of the military administration of a province. Even if lightning strikes in front of your eyes, you will remain calm.
Yeosangdo quietly looked at Moyonggun.
‘hmm.’
Mr. Moyong’s shaded face looked strangely creepy.
But there was no living in it. At least it didn’t seem like he had come to kill me.
“You came here because you knew I was here.”
“of course.”
“He couldn’t have touched the government’s intelligence organization, so he must have used Kangho’s intelligence organization.”
“That’s right.”
“This is a dangerous act that could violate the Gwanlim Non-aggression Treaty. “You know, right?”
“There’s no way you wouldn’t know.”
“In other words, you took the risk to find me and came to me.”
Yeosangdo tilted his head.
“I know you are not the kind of person who would do such a dangerous thing.”
“….”
“I guess it’s one of the two. Either it was a group action, or something urgent happened that required you to do something like this. “I think it looks like the former.”
It was a scary sight.
Mo Yong-gun couldn’t help but be impressed once again by Ye Sang-do’s brain. Just the fact that the head of the Moyong family came to visit secretly is enough to infer that point.
The reason was that the person in charge of the military government of a province was bound to be a monster. You must have this level of brain and sense to become a provincial commander.
Yeosangdo’s eyes became sharp.
“If you don’t convince me, I don’t know about Kangho, but the Moyong family will suffer quite a bit of trouble.”
It was a scary threat.
This was definitely not something I just said. Once you become a provincial commander, you can annihilate even the flying and crawling martial arts sect.
However, it cannot be attempted easily due to the risk of war breaking out due to relationship and political controversy. The provincial commander was such a powerful person.
Prince Moyong said.
“I may be presumptuous, but I would also like to say something.”
“….”
“If, by any chance, you are using the masters hiding here as guards, you could end up with your head in my hands right now.”
We respond to precipitation with precipitation.
Of course, from the perspective of Yeosangdo, who was listening, it was a truly shocking threat. How dare you kill the provincial commander, no matter how powerful you are?
however.
“….”
Yeosangdo was not angry. He didn’t show any anger in his eyes or hit the table with his hands.
He just looked at Moyong with surprised eyes.
“…I see.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
Although his eyes were cold.
“The princess is not here without an escort. You are being monitored. Isn’t it?”
If Yeo Sang-do did not become the provincial commander for no reason, Prince Moyong also did not reign as the loser of Honam for no reason.
The insight to see through what each other didn’t say at a glance.
This is what big men talk about. Because you have the ability to understand the other person’s intentions without having to say anything, the conversation progresses quickly and efficiently.
“Fortunately, the.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you had been recruited by those Shinhwa b*stards, you would have been in quite a bit of trouble at that time.”
“You…”
“Please speak.”
Yeosangdo swallowed slightly.
“Did you know about them?”
“I didn’t know. Until recently.”
“….”
“But now that I know about them, I realize it’s time to move.”
Moyong’s smile deepened.
“Do you think so too, Princess?”
“…Whew.”
Yeosangdo sighed softly.
“It was only for a moment, but I wondered if you were the three children they sent.”
“That can’t be possible. Judging by the look on Duke Lu’s face, it seems like most of the government officials in Henan Province have already been taken over. In such a situation, would you bring in someone you have a close relationship with to watch over you?”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“In other words, I have to say that the situation is not so good that the princess, who normally would not have had even a moment’s doubt, was worried.”
“You saw it well.”
Yeosangdo’s eyes deepened.
“Did the Murimmaeng notice it?”
“Only those who know exactly know. I’m making every effort to see if there’s someone here who’s been captured by them. “There are less than ten people who know about the Three Religions.”
Yeosangdo breathed a sigh of relief.
“Good job. Very good job. If you look at their behavioral skills… Oh no, wait a minute!”
“…?”
“The three religions? Does this mean that Shinhwaism is not the end?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
“It seems you didn’t know.”
“…!!”
“Kangho’s Black Island Alliance Mukryongbu was created with the support of Saeumgyo, one of the three religions. “They say the other one hasn’t come forward yet, but I’m not sure about that either.”
“This can’t be right….”
Yeosangdo’s complexion turned a little pale. Considering his personality and boldness, I wouldn’t normally be surprised.
Prince Moyong looked around.
“Wait here for now. After defeating those around me…”
“No!”
It was a small but firm voice.
Tension appeared on Yeosangdo’s face.
“Don’t mess with the experts here. never!”
“If you’re saying this because you’re afraid my identity will be discovered…”
“I’m not doubting your skills or doing this for my own safety.”
“…?”
“They are immortal. Unless you kill them by blowing off their heads or tearing off their limbs, they will never die.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“That’s literally true.”
Yeosangdo’s face distorted.
“They are monsters.”
* * *
Pusssss.
‘hmm?’
The official looked back.
Phew!
The large man who had been swept away by the explosion along with the strong wind was slowly getting up.
The corner of the official’s mouth rose.
“It’s an interesting piece of meat.”
