Episode 567
Disgrace in Paradise (9)
“Hmm.”
The road to Chokdo is rough.
I knew that fact well. I actually had the experience of stopping by Sacheon a few times.
But this road leading from Murimmaeng was truly bloody.
Unless you were a serious expert, the moment you lost your balance, your life was in danger. The small road was just a small road, but from the perspective of a person walking, it was no different from walking a tightrope.
“Certainly, Sacheon can be called a fortress of natural beauty. “It must be difficult to lead the troops and invade.”
Prince Moyong clicked his tongue.
He was also a transcendent expert who practiced unrivaled martial arts. Furthermore, he spent every day practicing to the extreme in order to catch up with the recent public ambassadors.
No one knew what level he had achieved now except himself.
Even Eonjabang, who had become his shadow and used all kinds of information, did not know how high the level Moyonggun had reached.
If even Mo Yong-gun clicks his tongue, you will know how difficult this road is.
Eonjabang shook his head.
“You’re being too comfortable to say that.”
“It wouldn’t be difficult for you and me. The problem is the medical history. No matter how great an expert he is, he cannot wage war alone. “In a fight, the more men you have, the better, but if you force yourself to cross this road, you’ll only end up losing a lot of troops.”
“I guess we can just move on slowly.”
“That’s the problem. “You probably don’t know how important speed is in war.”
Eonjabang’s eyes deepened.
“Are you really thinking about going to war with the Sichuan Wulin?”
“Is that possible? However, you never know when something will happen, so I always keep that in mind.”
Eonjabang thought that it was a very tiring life.
But I had no intention of blaming Mr. Moyong. Prince Moyong was originally that kind of person. Also, this habit may be natural in order to achieve the ambition he harbors in his heart.
Prince Mo Yong climbed to the top of the cliff and looked down on the plains of Sacheon.
A huge basin came into view at a glance. It was an area that would make you feel dizzy.
“Regardless of that, in the unlikely event that Sacheon’s martial forest falls into the hands of the enemy, we will have to dispatch troops to reclaim Sacheon from the hands of the enemy.”
“….”
“I just hope that doesn’t happen.”
Eonjabang looked at Prince Moyong with strange eyes.
In the meantime, Eonjabang handled all kinds of matters in the shadow of Prince Moyong.
Sometimes I did so many things that it was hard to even put them into words. Even though it was because of a contract, while working there, I often thought that the person named Moyong-gun was no different from a demon.
‘Well, since he even helped with the contract, he’s no different from me.’
Recently, Mr. Moyong has been showing a strangely different side.
I don’t know if there is actually any change in his heart. However, Moyong-gun certainly looked much more relaxed now than in the past.
To be precise, he really looked like a member of the Baekdo political faction.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
“hmm?”
“It’s because you’re staring at me.”
Eonjabang shook his head.
“I just thought you were someone who really knew but didn’t know.”
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
“why? “Is it so strange that I worry about Moorim?”
“any.”
“If you want to become the owner of a village, the field must be in good condition. Would I feel good if I were to say that the field I was supposed to own was turned into a mess by the hands of robbers?”
“I know. “But lately you seem to have become much softer than before.”
“I’m glad it looked like that. “I’m actually trying to be gentle.”
Moyong smiled brightly.
“It is called Sorijangdo (笑裏藏刀) in Gumilbokgeom (口蜜腹劍). The truly dangerous person is not the one who just rolls his eyes in a place that looks like a party leader. “A person who knows how to hide a sword behind a smile is truly scary.”
“Do you want to be that kind of person?”
Prince Moyong looked up at the sky without answering.
Sacheon was famous for its low amount of sunlight. Is that why? Even though it was morning, the sky was dark and there seemed to be a strange fog hanging over the town below.
Moyong shrugged his shoulders.
“I heard that there has been some success recently in the restoration of Eonga-kwon (彦家拳)?”
“….”
“It is difficult for the Eon Ga-won to find its power unless there is development in the art of visual arts.”
Eonjabang’s eyes deepened.
“What do you suddenly want to say?”
“I want to ask. Do you want to establish Jinju House on this land again?”
“….”
“When I first signed a contract with you, you said this. “I will restore Eonga’s Kangsi-gong and Eonga’s authority and establish the name of my ancestors.”
Prince Moyong looked at the room.
“Is your dream to revive a country’s former reputation or to open its doors again?”
Eonjabang looked at Moyonggun without answering.
Moyong-gun smiled.
“It seems difficult to answer.”
“….”
“It’s okay. “You must have a lot on your mind, too.”
“Why are you asking that question?”

“This war is an opportunity for you.”
“…?”
“Would you like to restore someone’s martial arts skills and show them to the world? How are you going to show it? Are you going to wander around the world and dance? Even if you succeed, will people who don’t have good memories of you recognize you properly?”
“….”
“But if you defeat the enemies with your own two fists in this war, the bad reputation you will receive will be greatly reduced.”
Eonjabang’s eyes deepened.
“I have a personal dream, but I don’t want the midfield to become a mess to achieve it.”
“Ah yes. “Isn’t the important thing that such a crisis is approaching little by little?”
“….”
“Even if you raise both fists for the world, not everyone will recognize you. “If you die in a pointless battle, your name will only be forgotten faster.”
“I will not die so easily.”
“I guess so. What I mean is, you need to be a little more clever. “Whether you plan to open something again or be satisfied with proof of martial arts.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
“I want you to prove your abilities in this Great Rebellion of the Four Rivers.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m telling you to run wild. “I don’t think you would want to spend time under me manipulating or controlling information.”
“…!”
“If you act properly, I will recommend you to the Murim Alliance. “Once may not be enough, but as your activities accumulate, the world will look at you differently.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“It may be impossible to reach Bonggong right now, but you can take on an important role in the Murim Alliance. “With confidence.”
“…!”
“I will personally commend you. But to do that, you need merit.”
Prince Moyong looked at the room.
For a moment, Eonjabang felt embarrassed. This is because he saw that there was strong ambition in Mo Yong-gun’s eyes when he looked at him.
What’s more terrible than that?
His own face reflected in Moyong’s eyes was not much different from Moyong’s.
“I will let you know that you were right in choosing me. So do your best.”
Eonjabang nodded without realizing it.
Moyong-gun grinned.
“It seems like morale has gone up. Now, shall we take a closer look at the Sichuan No. 1 family?”
* * *
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who returned early in the morning, was unable to drink in the end.
I don’t know if this battle will end things, but I haven’t even really looked into the problem in Sacheon yet.
There was a need to bring my physical condition back to normal as much as possible. In the end, he soothed his internal injuries by practicing yoga all day, and only after half a day had he finished his bath and came down to this floor.
‘It’s night again.’
There was no one in the guest room.
And Yeon Ho-jeong somehow seemed to know the reason.
“Are you eating alone?”
The guest was drinking alone at the window on this floor.
The officer pointed his chin at the direction across from him. Yeon Ho-jeong sat across from him.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“Where are the others? “I couldn’t feel any presence in the room.”
“I do not know.”
Actually, I don’t know if I would have had a proper conversation with that personality.
“What about that nun?”
“I sent it to the branch.”
“hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I guess he went to pick up Song Ha-shini.”
Now that the battle is over, it is time to bring Song Ha-ni and Deung-hwa, who were hidden in a safe place.
Although they said they did not know, it seemed that the group had taken on the role of sending the nun to the branch. I will also bring Song Ha-shinni along with me.
“Since when have you been drinking?”
“It started when you locked yourself in your room and went into trouble.”
He came back early in the morning and has been drinking ever since. Yeon Ho-jeong stuck out his tongue.
“Are you not drunk?”
The officer said bluntly.
“Who do you think I am?”
In fact, he was resistant to poisons that were several times stronger and fatal than alcohol.
The decoding ability itself is on a different level from that of an ordinary expert. If you have the stamina, you can drink it for days.
Yeon Ho-jeong held out an empty glass.
“Why do you drink so much when you’re not drunk?”
The official filled his glass without saying a word.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Isn’t this broad daylight?”
“….”
“Where did I say I would buy you a good drink?”
“noisy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong coolly emptied his glass.
The official, who was quietly looking at him, took out a small ring from his pocket and threw it.
Yeon Ho-jeong had a look of puzzlement on his face as he received the dangan.
“What is this?”
“Hwabaekdan (化白丹).”
“So how effective is it?”
“It’s medicine for internal injuries.”
It seemed to be an internal injury medicine for Dangga only. If the head of the household could carry it around, it would be worth thousands of dollars.
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“Why didn’t you give it to me earlier?”
“If you use it when the treatment is not effective, its efficacy is halved.”
“You had an idea.”
“Even if you can’t put a knife in the hand of the person you want to exploit, you should at least take care of what goes into the man’s mouth.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
‘There are days like this.’
The hotel has changed a lot in the meantime.
I danced with him and worked hand in hand with each other.
But I never thought the day would come when we would have this conversation. This is because in his previous life, Tang Gwan was an enemy who had put a poisonous memory in his heart.
‘I feel strange.’
Still, I didn’t hate it.
The person in front of me is a different person from the person I was in my previous life. Yeonhojeong made that distinction, and it actually was.
“Have you put your mind in order?”
The official laughed.
“Do you think that it will be resolved by organizing it?”
“Well, he is like that too.”
“We will leave tomorrow. “Have a few drinks and then go in and treat yourself properly.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
The two emptied their glasses one after another in silence.
Dang-gwan, who was quietly looking down at his glass, stood up.
“You’re drunk.”
There is no way a person who had been drinking all day and still wasn’t drunk would be drunk now. It seemed like he wanted to be alone.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“What?”
“How is your relationship with the former matriarch?”
At that moment, the official’s eyes became sharp.
“How can you ask that?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were as sharp as those of the party.
“I believe that the presence of that gentleman could be a decisive variable in this match.”
