Episode 635
Theorem (5)
Yeon Ho-jeong thought that he was a very difficult man.
“You can’t stop it if you don’t kill it?”
“That’s right.”
“You have great confidence.”
“If you want to stop me, whether it’s confidence or whatever, it’s clear that now is your only chance.”
Mr. Moyong’s calmly speaking face was full of honesty that I had never seen before.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘I’m not just saying this.’
Prince Moyong, whom he met during the time of the Emperor of Darkness, was also full of the temperament of Hyoung. It’s just that because he achieved his goal, that aspect didn’t stand out too much.
Moyong is a person who can do anything to achieve his goal.
Even innocent civilians are killed if necessary. I take care of my people thoroughly, but I also know how to calmly give up in urgent situations.
And Mo Yong-gun does not feel any guilt about such behavior.
The reason was clear.
‘You apply the same to yourself.’
Someone wants to use you to achieve their goals?
I may be angry and not forgive, but I understand and acknowledge that person’s actions.
Mo Yong was that kind of man. Rather, the evaluation was harsh on those who, despite their abilities, drew a line and did not try to take advantage of others. Because I think I live in moderation.
But I had no idea that he would even tell me to kill him.
And so proudly in front of an enemy who is much stronger than himself.
‘Are they even using their own lives?’
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“Could you explain?”
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“You can’t take out all the resources.”
“Then telling me to kill you is nonsense that has no value from my point of view. “I don’t want to use my hands without any reason.”
“….”
“If you want to point out that that is my limitation, feel free to do so. “I don’t really care anyway.”
“is it.”
“But I’m curious. “He wasn’t the kind of person who would go so far as to tell others to kill him.”
“I think the same thing. “I am not this kind of person.”
“Then why…”
“It’s because of you.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“You can pass by.”
It was a word with many meanings.
“I may have heard it all the time, but no matter how I look at it, you are outside the standard. “At that age, there are so many things that I can’t understand, such as insight, experience, combat skills, and awareness.”
“exactly?”
“Now that I’m here, I’m starting to wonder if you’re really that age. “I think it would be more believable to say that the super expert of the squadron, who was anti-Roh, deceived the world.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Or the hypothesis that someone’s soul entered that body like those damn fanatics would be interesting.”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt a slight tingling sensation.
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“Whatever it is, you are not normal. “I knew that too, but this time it was really bad.”
“….”
“And then I realized.”
“What do you mean?”
“That I lost.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression became strange. Perhaps he didn’t know that Prince Moyong would admit his defeat.
Prince Moyong was calm. At least that was how it seemed on the outside.
“I knew it when we fought fiercely in the past in the Murim Alliance. I was serious. I really meant to take you down. And it was the same for you.”
“….”
“The problem is that I tried to destroy you to achieve my ambition, but for you, fighting me was just one of countless tasks. “It means you didn’t put all your effort into dealing with me.”
“….”
“If you really focused on me without worrying about the surroundings, then…”
Moyong-gun’s eyes wavered.
“Maybe I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
You must have thought a lot before saying this. Because acknowledging the other person and conveying your feelings to the other person are two completely different things.
Mo Yong-gun was doing it.
So Yeon Ho-jeong was nervous. He puts aside his pride and speaks sincerely to himself, who can be said to be his archenemy. With that alone, Moyong-gun could be said to have grown from the past.
Either in a good way or in a bad way.
“Of course I didn’t care. How many people are there who are shocked but always fight at their best? Everyone has their own situation and they all have to do their best in the midst of it. Saying things like “I lost because of some problem” or “I would have won if things were normal” are just excuses from a loser.”
“….”
“But when you opened the drama, each and every one of those strange excuses became true.”
“….”
“You surpassed me. Not only me, but most people in the world will not even be able to reach your feet. “It’s not about talent; it’s just that the person himself is outstanding.”
It was so much praise that my face got hot.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong was neither ashamed nor acknowledged it. Rather, I was nervous.
Mr. Moyong continued speaking in a somewhat quiet voice.
“You could have stopped me no matter what. But now we have reached a point where even military force is no match for us.”
“….”
“I’ve lived for over fifty years, but I feel a more crushing sense of defeat than ever before. sincerely.”
“I feel it desperately.”
“I respect the strong men of Seongcheon. But I never thought that I was inferior to them. Because I too will reach there someday. Because I have that confidence and faith.”
“….”
“But you are superior to me and anyone else in the world. “Only today did I truly and deeply acknowledge it.”
Moyong closed his eyes.
“It is said that the best tactician subdues his opponent without fighting. That’s what you are to me. “You defeated me just by showing what you were capable of with your talents.”
“….”
“It’s a complete defeat. If you want to kill me, kill me now. “If you kill me now that I have completely admitted defeat, I will feel regret, but I will go to the afterlife without regrets.”
I’m serious.
Yeon Ho-jeong felt it. What Prince Moyong said was not an act of vain pride or lies.
Prince Moyong was truly frustrated. Although he had failed countless times throughout his life, he rose again and again to turn the situation around, and for the first time, he accepted defeat to the point where he thought about death.
‘Surprisingly.’
I never imagined that the Emperor Mo Yong of the world would show something like this. Especially to yourself.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-gun, chuckled.
“Well, even if you die, there are many people who can replace you, so there’s nothing to regret. In fact, you will feel refreshed as if a tooth that was sick has fallen out. “Because I won’t have to worry about you anymore.”
“….”
“But if I kill you, I will have to start a new fight with those who criticize and suppress me for killing you.”
“….”
“I don’t know who will be harder to fight, but if I had to choose, wouldn’t it be better to fight a familiar enemy?”
Moyong opened his eyes.
His eyes were deep and clear like a lake, and his eyes were unusual.
“As expected, you are not trying to kill me.”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Why is it obvious? “If it were me, if I wanted to die like that, I would have sincerely hoped that I would die on my own without harming anyone.”
“That’s quite a fascinating statement.”
“….”
“No matter what, I won’t kill you. “At least for now.”
“….”
“Also, your fierce anger towards the three religions will definitely be of great help to the Jungwon martial arts team. The problem is that I keep thinking about other things.”
Prince Moyong frowned.
“That’s a harsh word. “I can’t believe you have other thoughts.”
“no?”
“It is not reprehensible to take steps toward your dreams.”
“Sounds good. But if you think about that process, you are definitely someone who deserves criticism.”
“That process…”
“That’s enough. Let’s stop talking about that. “Because it’s a repetition of what I said anyway.”
“….”
“Let me just make a suggestion.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Why don’t you just give up?”
Moyong-gun’s eyes changed.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Do you really have to become a Murim lord like that?”
“I am a person who has only seen that and run for his entire life. Are you telling me to give up my lifelong dream?”
“Then do you have any intention of becoming a proud leader in a justifiable way, without causing harm to the civilians or using other immoral measures?”
Mr. Moyong could not answer, ‘Yes.’
I wouldn’t do that anyway, and I didn’t intend to. Even if I answered yes, Yeon Ho-jeong would not believe me, and in fact, Mo Yong-gun did not know any other way.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I think your abilities are great. “If there was a clear line for you too, would you say I’m crazy and tell me not to become a leader?”
“….”
“I’m telling you to give up because I know that no matter what I do or how I persuade you, the essence of who you are will not change.”
“What a sad thing to say.”
“But you admit it, right?”
“…okay.”
Prince Moyong frowned.
“I admit it. “I have to admit it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong thought again. This man named Moyong-gun is a very difficult enemy, but there are times when I feel like becoming friends with him.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked softly.
“Why not?”
“…?”
“I feel like we’ve come too far to talk about this, but… let’s work together and focus on defeating the Three Religions.”
There was strong sincerity in his calm voice.
Just as Mo Yong-gun threw away all his pride and spoke his truth, Yeon Ho-jeong also began to speak his deep sincerity as if speaking to a close person.
“Murim people are people who cannot know when they will die. “But aren’t you and I as much attached to this land as anyone else?”
“….”
“Even if I die, I must at least die to prevent our home from being eaten up by foreign powers. Isn’t that right?”
Do I die trying to achieve my dream, or do I die trying to protect my land?
If you die, what kind of end will you face?
“I couldn’t even build my own house, so how great would the joy be if I were to go abroad and succeed? “How much more regret will you have?”
“….”
“Let’s protect our home first. “Once we successfully protect it, if our lives are still attached to it after we protect it, then if you don’t give up on that dream and try to move forward.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“At that time, let’s persuade, support, fry, literally kill or save. “Isn’t that the priority?”
“First of all…”
“Your dream is to become the owner of a house filled with countless relatives. “But what does it mean if the house falls into someone else’s hands?”
“….”
“If you sincerely say that, I will also sincerely not put the brakes on what you do. “I can’t help but be suspicious, but I won’t be hostile towards you.”
Mo Yong-gun felt Yeon Ho-jeong’s sincerity.
Aside from everything else, there was no reason for Yeon Ho-jeong to lie about this.
Yeon Ho-jeong was different from herself. Even though he feels trustworthy, he doubts it until the end, but once Yeon Ho-jeong trusts him, he will believe it until the end unless she stabs him in the back first.
Perhaps such simple trust was also due to my confidence in myself.
“Rather than trying to achieve your ambition by killing the enemy, let’s kill the enemy first and then fight?”
“exactly.”
Prince Moyong, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, said.
“I am….”
