Episode 454
Journey to find the truth (4)
“It’s so hot.”
The person who came into Inhwaru grumbling as if he was chewing was a young man of quite large stature.
He was well over six feet tall, reaching seven feet tall, and was wearing a sleeveless top made of tiger skin, exposing his thick and strong arms.
The black bandages that covered his palms, backs of his hands, and even his forearms showed that he had trained in martial arts. His short-shaven hair and his fiercely fluttering eyes were reminiscent of a wild beast.
The overall impression was very rough. Not only was the impression impressive, but the ferocious energy waves that erupted without hesitation as if there was nothing to hide were also amazing.
That beast-like temperament plunged the entire spacious first floor of Inhwaru into silence.
The young man looked at Jeomsoy.
Jeomsoi’s face suddenly turned pale. Because it felt like a tiger was staring right in front of my nose.
“hey.”
“Yes yes!”
“What are you doing? “Take me to the top floor.”
The top floor of Inhwaru is famous for its great view, so you can’t go up there unless you make a reservation in advance.
Jeomsoy swallowed his saliva and asked.
“Ho, by any chance, what is your name?”
The young man frowned.
It seems like the bridge of the tiger’s nose is wrinkled. Cold sweat flowed from Jeomsoi’s entire body.
“No matter how many years it’s been since you came, you don’t know me? “Are you new?”
“That’s right.”
The young man snorted.
“They looked at me because I was a newcomer. “Call the owner.”
“…yes?”
“Call the owner!”
At that moment, not only the first floor but also the people eating on the second floor were shocked and covered their ears.
It was a loud voice, like the lion’s hooves. The difference was that his cries were full of ferocity and frustration.
Slurp.
Jeomsoy sat down on the spot. Jeomsoy, who was continuously breathing as if he was short of breath, fainted.
The momentum the young man exuded was aggressive enough to make even a decent climax expert flinch. It was bound to be difficult for Jeomsoi, who had no inner strength, to handle such momentum.
The young man clicked his tongue.
“What a piece of trash.”
It was then.
“That former Confucius?!”
The person who hurried down the stairs was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing flashy clothes.
Young Jeon Hong chuckled.
“long time no see?”
“It’s been a long time since I last saw you. How have you been?”
“It’s always the same for me.”
“It’s really nice to see you in good health.”
“Is that lie true?”
“Are you lying? This is my sincerity.”
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and bent his back.
“Anyway, if you had told me in advance, I would have prepared a seat for you a long time ago.”
“So there are no seats?”
“omg! Could that be possible? We will ask for the understanding of our guests and make room for them. “Who would have the courage to say that the former Confucius would sit down?”
If there is dignity in flattery, it was difficult to find any dignity in the flattery of a middle-aged man.
But it seemed that the unsightly flattery was working. The young man laughed and said.
“Guide me.”
“yes!”
“Oh, and my men will be here in about half a day. “There are about 30 people, so we make separate seats for them.”
“of course.”
“Anyway, why can’t I see Rouge?”
“Hehe, my father retired and returned to his hometown a year ago. “Now I’m Rouge.”
“Hoo? Should I congratulate you on this? Take some time later. “I’ll pour you a drink.”
“Would it be possible?”
The middle-aged man, Yin Hua Luzhu, repeatedly bent down and guided Zhenhong to the top floor.
Soon Jeon Hong’s figure disappeared up the stairs, and only then did the silence on the first floor disappear.
“It’s so bloody. “Who on earth is this?”
“I heard you’re a Confucius?”
“Shh! Watch your mouth. “If you make a mistake, your head will blow off.”
“Do you know who that young man is?”
“know. “I’m a native here.”
“who?”
“My name is Jeon Hong, and I am one of Tuwang’s disciples.”
“Huh! “If it’s a fighting king, then what about his Seongcheon?”
“That’s right. If you know, just shut up. “Isn’t it said that the martial arts people have sharp ears?”
As Jeon Hong climbed the stairs, he heard all the noise of people whispering.
It was a remark that could just be ignored, and it was also a remark that someone with an eccentric personality would at least glance at.

And Jeon Hong listened to their conversation with one ear and let it go.
It is a shameful thing for a person who stands above all to respond to the ramblings of the powerless poor.
Those who dare to rebel and turn a blind eye must be punished, but there is no need to respond to the tongues of those who are nothing.
Jeon Hong truly thought so.
His personality, which has already hardened, will not change in the near future.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sitting on the third floor and drinking, said with a chuckle.
“It looks like you have a connection with the ink dragon in many ways. “You say you are Yang Chen’s third disciple?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you know him?”
“I’ve heard a lot about it. “Of all the disciples that Yang Cheon had, he was reputed to be the most talented, along with Emperor Ilja.”
“okay? “I didn’t know.”
“Heukdo is famous in its own way in the martial arts world.”
“I see.”
There was no wavering in Kang Ryang’s voice. But his eyes were quite sharp.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked vaguely.
“Did you feel that guy’s energy too?”
“of course.”
“How do you feel?”
Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
“It will be a close match.”
Surprisingly, Jeon Hong’s energy wave had reached the point where it was on the verge of breaking the Wuzongji Wall.
Although he was said to be the third child, he was the same age as Buseon, the second child. However, he only became the third because he was accepted as a disciple five years later.
In other words, the time spent learning martial arts is five years shorter than that of Buseon. However, it is already on the verge of breaking the barrier.
Considering how the martial arts leaders viewed Yeon Ho-jeong, who broke the barrier of martial arts, Jeon Hong’s talent truly deserved praise.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“The personality may not seem very good, but the skills are real. That’s not some mediocre martial arts skill either. “I think he’s a guy who has experienced enough real combat.”
Although the energy wave was revealed without hesitation, the atmosphere of flexibility and exploration that was cast within the rough energy wave was difficult to acquire without going through a considerable amount of chaos.
Kang-ryang shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, what does it matter how strong he is? “Let’s have a drink.”
“You’re right.”
I plan to send an invitation to Yang Cheon, but I have no intention of meeting Yang Cheon’s disciple.
Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Jeong-an.
“You too, just calm down.”
“yes?”
“That young man is only Yang Chen’s disciple and is not Yang Chen. “I’m telling you not to pay attention to that guy.”
Unbeknownst to me, the energy of Jeongan that had subtly flowed was groping the upstairs.
I heard that Yangcheon may be the seed of the Botaam uprising. And now his disciple has entered this base.
What I was saying was that I couldn’t help but be concerned. But Yeon Ho-jeong hoped she would calm down.
Jeongan sighed and calmed down Jinki.
“sorry.”
“I am sorry. “If it’s natural, it’s a natural reaction.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he filled his glass.
“Don’t eat hastily. Although it looks peaceful, there are few enemies here. Hasty action could put the entire party in danger.”
“yes.”
Kang-ryang said playfully.
“Isn’t this a fitting word for someone who infiltrated the Mukryongbu and tricked the Mukryongbu lord?”
“You’re noisy, man. “Have another drink.”
“Good.”
The group clinked glasses again and talked about various things.
So time passed again.
A little less than half a day had passed.
As the sun set and the setting sun began to fall, more than thirty men entered Inhwaru.
The base running, which was already noisy, became even more noisy.
“Let me talk to you for a moment.”
Inhwaruju, who came down to the third floor, bowed his head to the guests. Looking at his face, it looked as if he had been drunk.
“I would like to apologize in the midst of a pleasant conversation. “The heroes of Martial Arts came to visit the main base, but unfortunately, it is full, so we need the guests’ understanding.”
Inhwaruju’s expression was full of regret. I don’t know if it was sincere or false, but at least it was polite.
“We will not charge any additional money for the alcohol and food our guests have consumed so far. “Please understand.”
For Rouge, who had no power, this would have been the best.
Everyone sitting on the third floor stood up. Jeon Hong’s identity was already known to everyone on base. It would have happened even if I hadn’t said that I wouldn’t pay for the drinks.
Kang-ryang grumbled softly.
“Why the hell is it on the third floor?”
He asked, looking at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“What are you going to do, brother?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“Is there any need to cause trouble? We ate almost everything, so let’s get up. Besides, you don’t have to pay, right?”
Kangryang burst into laughter without realizing it. It was fun to see Yeon Ho-jeong, the commander of the Murim League’s remnant troops, flirting with him by saying he didn’t have to pay.
Jeongan asked in a puzzled voice.
“Are you going to wake up like this?”
“why? Do you want to stay longer?”
“Not really, but… I don’t think this is the right thing to do.”
It was an honest statement.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“right. “There are already guests here, so even if we don’t charge for drinks, it’s still an uncomfortable situation.”
“Then…”
“No matter what happens, Rouge will be responsible for this. “For better or for worse.”
“is that so?”
“Base made a choice and acted on that choice. “Even if you insist that you won’t do that here, it’s Rouge who will lose.”
“Are you taking a loss?”
“People are sensitive to rumors. “If there was a fight here, especially with Tuwang’s disciple, there would be many times more people who wouldn’t come because they didn’t want to get involved in the fight than who would come because they were excited.”
“ah…!”
“Well, it’s not necessarily because of that. “I have a lot of thoughts, but at least by my standards, I don’t think it’s a situation that needs to make things complicated.”
standard.
Among Yeon Ho-jeong’s words, Jeong An was most moved by the word “standard.”
“Everyone is waking up. “Let’s get up soon.”
The group got up from their seats.
The Gwangryongbu was so large and conspicuous a weapon that it had been left in the hands of the Mortal Army. I brought the black and white twin dragons, but they were covered by long guns, so if you weren’t keen on seeing, you could easily miss them.
Of course, Gangryang and Jeongan were wearing swords, but many people carried swords for self-defense.
That was when the group got up from their seats and was about to go down the stairs.
“There you three. “Pause for a moment.”
Kang-ryang looked up.
Jeon Hong was sitting on the stairs leading to the fourth floor. It wasn’t as hot as Inhwaruju’s, but seeing his cheeks get a little hot, it seemed like he had been drinking too.
Kang Ryang asked.
“You mean us?”
“Yes, you guys.”
It was informal language without hesitation.
Kang-ryang frowned.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“…It really isn’t normal guts. Even with me in front of you, your tongue is quite fluffy.”
“If you have nothing to say, we’ll leave.”
“Well, you must have crawled all the way here because you have that much guts. Isn’t that so, Somunju of the Black Iron Sword Gate?”
For a moment, Kang Ryang’s face hardened.
Jeon Hong grinned.
“I thought you didn’t know?”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his cheek and thought.
I thought you didn’t know.
Jeon Hong’s eyes sparkled.
“The rebellious faction has crept into Honam again… We must be quite ridiculous.”
“…I don’t know anything else.”
Rebel faction?
Kang Ryang’s eyes shone mercilessly.
“You would be funny.”
Jeon Hong grinned.
It was a laugh full of life.
