Episode 446
Shaking (1)
Mo Yong-woo was busy.
It was the same when I was at Maeng, but it was especially busy here.
The Tangma army, who lost over two hundred comrades in this operation, literally risked their lives in training. Previously, he was famous for his rigorous training, but now he has reached a point where life and training have become one.
After Tangma’s training was over, the sun began to set.
From that moment on, it was Mo Yong-woo’s training time.
His sleep time was fixed to two hours, and each time he trained, he used all his energy and strength to push himself until he was exhausted.
Still, there was no time to rest. When I wasn’t having a meeting with Yeon Ho-jeong, I was absorbed in finding out about Kang-ho’s situation, and when I had free time, I read more than one line of the book.
It wasn’t because of the compulsion to live hard. This was because I believed that whatever I put into my body and head would be of great help in the future.
Before I knew it, that kind of life had passed over a month and reached two months.
“Whoa.”
Okay!
The sword point of the Tangma Great Sword was stuck in the ground.
I put all my strength into it and used up all the strength I could muster.
The great sword, which was normally as light as a whip, became as heavy as lifting an iron pillar.
He was out of breath and suddenly tilted his head.
‘Was it a bit harsh?’
I usually put in my best effort without hesitation, but today it seemed to have been especially severe. There was not even the slightest strength to hold the center.
dump!
Mo Yong-woo, who was sitting on the floor, immediately sat cross-legged and prayed repeatedly.
After half an hour like that.
“I guess I can survive now.”
To fill a bowl, it must first be empty.
A bowl that has been repeatedly filled and emptied will grow larger and firmer. Mo Yong-woo’s body and Danjeon were continuing this repetition.
Is that why? The amount of internal energy is also the amount of internal energy, but the speed of the contraction is much faster than two months ago. This was because the body, which was reaching its limits every day, sucked in the vitality more greedily in order not to collapse.
As I got used to it, I was able to deliver dozens of slashes with just one breath.
Although he did not attain enlightenment and reach a higher state, this was also a great gift to the warrior. It can be said to be the best reward for hard work.
“are you okay?”
Mo Yong-woo was not surprised by the sudden voice. This was because I felt his presence while I was praying.
“Are you here?”
When I turned my head, I saw Yeon Ho-jeong standing with his arms crossed and his back to the moonlight.
‘….’
Mo Yong-woo suddenly thought that Yeon Ho-jeong’s appearance was very mysterious.
The younger brother’s appearance with his back to the cold and comfortable moonlight was truly showing off the aura of a mystic from another world.
‘but.’
Mo Yong-woo was convinced in his heart.
‘Yeonje’s presence has always been like that.’
A night full of stars.
The world was extremely quiet, with not a single wind blowing.
‘It’s just like my frustrating situation in the past.’
I don’t know why, but it reminded me of the past before I met Yeon Ho-jeong.
At that time, he was leading the upper class in Zhejiang due to a power struggle with his brothers.
His feelings at that time were truly miserable. No one could understand his feelings, and even if they knew, they would not have been able to understand.
Yeon Ho-jeong appeared at just such a time.
Just before the darkness reaches its peak and turns into an abyss where not even a single starlight can enter.
‘That was really cocky.’
Mo Yong-woo smiled without realizing it.
He came to me at night and told me to become a giant of white peach and to come to my senses.
I heard a reprimand from someone I was meeting for the first time that made my stomach turn. Mo Yong-woo was also a human being, so how could he not be offended, but at the same time, it was the first time in ten years that he had seen someone that made him cry that much.
It must have been from then on. When your life started to change.
Not because Yeon Ho-jeong did something, but because I felt the sincere regret in that shouting.
Strangely enough, Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was persuasive. Even though his voice was quite low, regardless of logic, it had the magical power to strangely ignite people’s emotions.
‘It’s so unexpected to appear.’
Just like now, Yeonhojeong was always out of the blue.
It suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared again. He suddenly began to stand out not only in himself, but also in this rough and ugly martial arts world, and with his explosive growth, he made a name for himself throughout the world.
The reason he asked Yeon Ho-jeong to become his sworn brother was because, in addition to feelings of loneliness, he felt a human attraction. He had that charm.
And now, along with his stepbrother, he was scolding the world for the sake of the world.
The fact that he suddenly realized brought a sincere smile to Mo Yong-woo’s face.
“what? “What about that laugh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked in a shaky voice.
Mo Yong-woo stood up and said.
“It’s nice to see you after a long time.”
“It’s been a while.”
“That’s the problem with the Yeonje. I’m so busy that I have no sense of time. “I asked you out for a drink back then, but you forgot and didn’t come, right?”
“alcohol? when?”
“Look there. “You don’t even remember.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.

“I’m sorry if I did that. “I really need to come to my senses.”
“There is no need to be sorry. However, no matter how advanced the story is, you still need a break. “Then I will die from overwork.”
“I didn’t come to hear creepy sounds. First of all, I came…”
“Stop.”
Mo Yong-woo raised his hand to stop Yeon Ho-jeong from speaking.
I don’t know why, but Yeon Ho-jeong felt his mouth close. Normally, it would have been okay to say it was a joke, but today, it was somehow difficult to make a joke to Mo Yong-woo.
“Have you eaten?”
“I ate it half a day ago.”
“Then keep the promises you couldn’t keep. Hang in there. “Let’s go see the drinking table.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-woo, collapsed on the spot.
“Would you like to see Commander Tangma’s cooking skills?”
“ha ha ha!”
It took a long time for Mo Yong-woo to come back.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
“Is it pretty good?”
“hmm?”
“Your skills are quite convincing, aren’t you?”
Two simple dishes and three bottles of strong liquor were placed on the drinking table.
I could tell just by smell. It was a meat dish made by soaking dried beef jerky in stir-fried vegetables, but it had a better flavor than the ones sold at most restaurants.
Mo Yong-woo burst into laughter.
“Thanks to the spices. “If the quality of the ingredients is poor, you have no choice but to fake it with seasoning.”
“Just knowing how to deceive is amazing. “I can’t do this.”
“Do you think there is a need for someone of your stature to be skilled in cooking?”
“why? These days, they say that men have to be good at cooking to be attractive to a s.e.xy woman.”
“Hoo.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sparkled.
“Have you found a wife or child you like?”
“It will happen someday. Well, that’s a problem too. Even if I like it, if the other person doesn’t like it, it’s nonsense. “When you look at things like that, it’s hard to have a true relationship.”
“I can’t tell you not to worry. “If it’s your reputation, many wives and children will be paying attention.”
“I hate people who tempt people just because of their name, regardless of their gender or age.”
“That’s not why. The best expert in the world is not only the best in the world when it comes to knives, but is he also the best in the world when it comes to making friends? A relationship is two-way. “I think it’s inevitable that not only you, but even people much greater than you, will have trouble in relationships.”
“Was it counseling time?”
“That’s just the way it is. “At some point, Yeonje will have a wife who calls her love, so I just hope that she will treat her honestly instead of weighing things up.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“What about you, brother? “Isn’t the Tang Sojeo still in your sight?”
Mo Yong-woo chuckled.
“When do you still make noise?”
“Hoo? When does it sound like an enemy? “I guess something happened?”
“There is no such thing. We were all so busy. Besides, neither I nor Dang Sojeo liked the unnatural relationship.”
“You’re saying you’re full. “I said let’s go and have some tea later when I’m deaf.”
“Haha, I understand.”
Mo Yong-woo’s strength lay in this generosity.
No matter how close a younger brother was, he would feel a little offended if he said something like this, but Mo Yong-woo never lost his smile.
And it was precisely because of that personality that Yeonho-jeong was able to deal with him comfortably. I don’t know about others, but Mo Yong-woo was one of the few people with whom Yeon Ho-jeong showed his honest side.
“That was a long story. Shall we have a drink first?”
“Well, let’s do that.”
The two people clinked their glasses.
It had been quite a while since we had been drinking.
Because the relationship was deep, the alcohol felt strong. It was harsh, but I liked that harshness. If you drank it often, it would have been difficult to experience such a strong taste.
Mo Yong-woo asked calmly.
“So, what brought you here at this hour?”
It was a comfortable question in a comfortable place.
Yeonho-jeong, who was a bit nervous, felt the burden he had built up melt away in that comfort.
“Something happened at the leadership of the Murim Alliance.”
“which?”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke honestly and without hesitation.
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes deepened.
“If it’s Lord Bong-nim… Is it really your brother?”
“Not Mr. Moyong. “Of course, I’m not sure, but at least I don’t think so.”
“Why do you think not?”
“Tigers and wolves may look different, but they have fangs and live the same way. “Even though Moyonggun’s fangs are stained with poison, I don’t think he has a snout that exposes its teeth at any time.”
It was a harsh evaluation, but at the same time, it was also overrated. At least in a situation where there is a common enemy, Prince Moyong is seen as closer to a capable ally than an unreliable enemy.
“Hmm.”
Mo Yong-woo stroked his chin.
“Deng Bong-gong is a member of the Communist Party. The communal faction is in Gansu. “It can be said that the prestige of the communal faction in Gansu is the highest.”
“In other words, isn’t it strange to obtain that much information?”
“I think so, but…”
“….”
“I think it’s strange at the same time.”
“In what part?”
Mo Yong-woo filled Yeon Ho-jeong’s glass and spoke as if he was talking in passing.
“How could an organization so clueless as to leak information in such a sloppy manner not get caught even after decades of sowing corruption in the central plains and even touching the imperial palace and government offices?”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“This is why I feel comfortable talking to smart people.”
“What do you think of Yeonje? “Do you think it’s clear that someone leaked that information?”
“I don’t think the odds are infinitely close to 100%.”
“Then that’s also strange.”
Mo Yong-woo frowned.
“Why did you leak information in this situation? “Is there something planned?”
“We should discuss how such information could have been leaked in this situation before targeting.”
“…!”
Mo Yong-woo’s face hardened.
Yeon Ho-jeong emptied his glass. The alcohol wasn’t strong anymore.
Mo Yong-woo, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, asked in confusion.
“What Yeon-je is saying is that you think there is a secret in Bong-gong?”
“I’ve thought that way for a long time. That’s why I told you not to reveal the identity of the three religions to the Bonggong Council.”
“…!!”
“I guess I’m sure now. Among the people who formed a very close relationship with Bonggong or Bonggong, there was Sejak of Samgyo.”
“…this.”
Although he had doubts, Mo Yong-woo was shocked to hear that it might be true.
They are not half-baked practitioners, but long-time practitioners of the Old Daemun Sect. Among such giants, there is Sejak? Where on earth did you sell your honor and pride?
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Mo Yong-woo, who was full of confusion.
“I think I’ll have to go to Maeng sometime soon.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
Mo Yong-woo, who was nodding his head, was momentarily shocked.
“Surely Yeonje is alone?”
“okay.”
“….”
“That’s why I came. It will be soon, but I don’t know exactly when. So, even if I suddenly disappear someday, I will not panic and ask you to lead the Uijeonggun.”
It is said that they may appear suddenly and leave suddenly again.
Isn’t he really a difficult guy to deal with? Regardless of the seriousness of the matter, I felt like I would never be able to live like this.
Mo Yong-woo, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, soon smiled and said.
“What kind of favor do you mean? All you have to do is give orders.”
“….”
“Just come back safely. Don’t worry your subordinates.”
