◈Episode 706.
Between death and fate (6)
Yeonhojeong silence, Yeonwi, etc.
People give nicknames to martial artists who stand out in the world.
Naturally, the character’s characteristics are reflected in the special title.
The Yeonwi’s special title, Pangwangeom, had the meaning of being wise and sword-like in carrying out public affairs and cooperation. If you think about the meaning of judge in the first place, you can see how much Kangho Jehyeon views Yeonwi.
Mukbi’s nickname, ‘Gwigungsinnyeo’, has a clearer meaning. Return to the palace and priestess. It means a priestess who wields a bow possessed by a ghost, meaning that her archery skills have reached an unexplored level.
And Yeonhojeong.
Byeoksanhojang (碧山虎將) meant a general who was brave and strong like a tiger born in Gangdong Byeoksan Yeonga.
The title of general was given to the martial people. The implication is that he is excellent not only in one-on-one life-and-death situations, but also in group warfare, as well as in the use of people, strategy, and tactical insight.
In this way, in most cases, the nickname of a martial artist meant the characteristic of that person. It is somewhat different from the pennames of writers.
So, what is the nickname of Sunwoo, Jongnam Jangmun?
Surprisingly, Sunwoo had many nicknames. Among them, the most representative nickname was Hwado Shingeom (火道神劍).
The meaning was simple. It means a divine sword that pursues the fiery path or a divine sword held by a fiery and fierce Taoist.
That nickname accurately expressed the character Sunwoo.
He is a well-known expert in Shaanxi, but once he gets angry, no one can stop him.
However, he was respected by the world because his anger and enthusiasm were always directed at evil and irrationality. In fact, he was a dependable and kind person both within Jaffa and among the common people.
He came here full of anger. This couldn’t have been an ordinary situation.
“Yeon algebra.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s attitude was very humble.
Although he was a member of the Great Jongnam faction, he was also a member of the same Murim League.
Sunwoo was an elder belonging to the Presbyterian Church, not a Bonggong. Although they had no real power, their status was greater than that of the head of a combat unit.
Furthermore, his reputation and his clear prayers enforced the courtesy of Yeonhojeong.
Sunwoo spoke in an angry tone.
“I’m not sure if you can believe me since we’ve never shared anything personal even within the group.”
“Please speak.”
“I always supported you.”
“I am just grateful.”
“Ruthless punishment for the evildoers who suck the blood of the common people. Some of the leaders of the League expressed concern about the ferocity of your troops, but each time they did, I said: “Yeon Daesu is a symbol of resolute agreement of the time.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“That feeling still remains. I think highly of you. In a way, more than any Taoist in the text.”
Sunwoo, who was already on fire, was praising Yeonhojeong’s qualities without getting straight to the point. It meant that he was suppressing himself as much as possible.
“Thank you for your encouraging words.”
“And I know that you have abilities that go beyond your bravery and sincerity.”
“….”
“Why didn’t you contact me?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Are you talking about contact?”
“Okay, contact me.”
Sparks flew from Sunwoo’s eyes.
What was in his eyes was not simple anger. What was inside it was resentment, sadness, self-destruction, and resentment.
“Why didn’t you contact me earlier? “They are targeting Shaanxi.”
Shaanxi.
It is Seomseo, not Jongnam.
Does Jongnampa really mean Shaanxi?
Not like that.
From the moment the enemy entered Shaanxi, whether it was Jongnam, Hwasan, or any other sect, it was dangerous.
Yeon Ho-jeong knew that. Even though I knew about it, I did not contact the Murim Alliance directly.
What if he immediately reported this to the Murim Alliance?
In that case, would the Murim Alliance have sent separate troops?
That’s something you don’t know. Each faction has its own circumstances, and by now, Zhuge Lianghu may have calculated how each faction will respond and how much power will be distributed.
Even if it had been more than that, it would not have been able to hastily dispatch troops to Jongnam. Yeon Ho-jeong also knew that.
But still.
Sunwoo’s anger was justified.
Results don’t change? it could be.
However, Jongnam’s owner, Sunwoo, would have returned to Jongnam faster than anyone else. No matter what he did here, even if he died, he would have no regrets as the leader.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“I…”
“Are you saying that even if you had contacted us quickly, the war would have been over by the time I arrived?”
“….”
“Even if it actually happened, why didn’t you contact Meng? Was it because you knew the outcome wouldn’t change?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Sun-woo, nodded.
“Yes that’s right.”
Whoa!
A terrifying energy wave spread out from Sunwoo’s body.
It’s a skill that goes beyond his own abilities. A burning energy so hot that everyone took a step back in surprise, covering the entire area.
A voice that seemed like it was going to explode came out of Sunwoo’s mouth.

“Yeonhojeong!”
“I thought it would be helpful for Jang Moon-in not to be here.”
“…what?”
“Regardless of Jang Mun-in’s power, I thought that Jang Mun-in’s very existence could be detrimental to this fight. So I didn’t contact you.”
“What nonsense does that sound like?!”
“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the person who commanded this battle in Jongnam is the head of the Mukryongbu Yonga Iron Team.”
Sunwoo’s body trembled.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued speaking in a monotonous tone.
“Jang Mun-in said. He said he has never had a private conversation with me. That’s right. “I, too, have only inferred Jang Mun-in’s personality through rumors about him and the prayers I felt when I passed him a few times, but I have no idea what kind of appearance he will show during the war.”
“so!”
“Anyone who poses a risk of distracting our allies will be excluded from battle, even if he or she possesses heavenly strength. “This is because there is a risk that unfavorable variables may arise for our troops.”
“so! “You didn’t contact me for that ridiculous reason?!”
“That’s right.”
“I am! “You thought that the leader of Jongnam could actually destroy Jongnam Mountain?!”
“If, by any chance, Jang Mun-in arrived in Jongnam before the war, I cannot entrust Jongnam’s troops to the owner of the Iron Gidan. This is because it is an act that diminishes the dignity of Jang Mun-in.”
“What?!”
“The leader of a faction is someone who must take the lead and protect the disciples. However, in a war like this, the position of the leader is special.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“I am relieved just to see Jang Moon-in in good health and standing on his own two feet in front of me.”
“Where can you say such nonsense from your mouth that is pierced!!”
Sunwoo’s booming voice was like a fever.
Mukbi was nervous. This is because it seemed like Sunwoo would pull out his sword at any moment.
On the other hand, Yeon Ho-jeong was calm.
“It’s three days.”
“…?!”
“I think I’ll be able to get my body back together after three days.”
What does this suddenly mean?
“I still have work to do. If I were to endure Jang Moon-in’s anger with this body right now, my life would be in danger. “I can’t do that.”
“this guy…!”
“Give me three days, and then I will face Jang Mun-in’s wrath.”
Sunwoo’s eyes were very bloodshot.
Unlike herself, who was angry to the point of going crazy, Yeon Ho-jeong was cool and calm.
The sight made me even more excited and I felt miserable.
Sun-woo, who had been glaring at Yeon-ho-jeong for a long time, soon sighed softly.
Slurp.
The energy wave that seemed as if it would blow up the entire area at any moment gradually calmed down.
“….”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes slightly wavered.
Sunwoo’s face, which had lost its momentum, looked several years older in an instant. The eyes, which were full of anger and resentment, had lost their focus and were even losing their vitality.
Sreuk.
Sunwoo turned around without saying a word.
Sunwoo’s back, trudging down the mountain path, looked very shabby.
After a while, Sunwoo’s figure disappeared from sight.
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slowly sat down on the stairs.
Mukbi asked worriedly.
“are you okay?”
“I’m fine. “I just hope that Jang Moon-in regains his strength as soon as possible.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed and turned his head towards the left side road.
“Just come out now.”
“I already tried to do that.”
Full Moon appeared from across the side road.
Deung-sang’s eyes as he looked at Yeon-ho-jeong were complex.
“Why did you do that?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why didn’t you tell me the truth?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Didn’t Dae-su Yeon have time to contact you? “In the process of searching for Emperor Eum, we ran into Grand Elder Yeogwang, and you knew right before that that Saeum’s forces were planning to attack Jongnam in the first place.”
“….”
“Dae-su Yeon could not have deliberately excluded Jang Mun-in. “I must have been so out of my mind that I didn’t even think about it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded silently.
Full-sang asked again.
“But why did you do that? Why did you provoke Jang Mun-in so much?”
“Why do you think Jang Mun-in came to see me?”
“…?”
“I don’t know, but Jang Mun-in must have been angry with Hwaseomja Seon-bae and people on Hwasan’s side.”
There was a look of surprise on Full Sang’s face.
“Did you know?”
“I just guessed.”
“How do you guess that?”
“Because he is the surviving leader. “It’s because he’s a munju who has never even fought.”
“…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.
The day was cold, but the sky was clear. A few scattered pieces of cloud stung Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes painfully.
“Imagine. “While the owner of the clan was away, a war broke out in the faction for which he was responsible.”
“….”
“How do you feel?”
“It’s indescribable.”
“exactly. “It cannot be expressed in words or writing.”
“….”
“And Hwasan and I are the people who led this Jongnam War. In other words, you could say that he took over the role of Munju.”
Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.
“It means that we are the only ones who can release that indescribable feeling and resentment.”
Full-sang sighed.
“Even so, there was no need to lie, right?”
“I’m not lying.”
“what?”
“I didn’t think about contacting the Murim Alliance because I wasn’t in a good mood at the time, but when I was preparing for war, I considered Jang Mun-in’s absence to be fortunate. “I mean it.”
“….”
“I’m not that kind of guy.”
Full-sang closed his eyes.
“Yeon algebra.”
“….”
“I should have received Jongnam Jang Munin’s anger. “Isn’t it ultimately our fault that we failed to notify the Murim Alliance in time?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“That doesn’t make sense. You might not know it in normal times, but during war, the value of information is higher than gold. “If the arrow of anger is directed at the government that handles information, there is a possibility that Jang Mun-in will distrust the information of the government in the future.”
“….”
“I’m better. “He is young and famous for being very unlucky.”
“Still…”
Full Sang shook his head.
“But there was no need for Yeon Dae-su to become the target of Jang Mun-in’s resentment.”
“Wrong. “There is a need for that.”
“Why is that?”
“Because it’s war.”
“…?!”
“The sadness of losing someone, the guilt of not being responsible, the reality of having to smile in front of an enemy despite losing a colleague.”
“….”
“It’s completely natural for Jang Moon-in to act like that. “War can drive even the most disciplined Taoist monks or highly skilled monks crazy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong had a look of bitterness on his face.
“Something that can become an object of resentment and anger. “I’d rather be happy. People are bound to break down when they don’t even have someone to pour out their emotions on.”
“….”
“Jang Moon-in will be fine soon.”
Full-sang couldn’t bring himself to spit out the words that were rushing up his throat.
So are you okay?
