◈Episode 723.
Response (4)
“Hmm.”
Yang Chen raised his drink.
Hwang Seok-tae, who was prostrate in front of him, did not move at all.
Yangcheon, who was lost in thought while looking at his glass of wine, emptied his glass.
“I see.”
“….”
“You have to look at it clearly and listen to it from various angles. “Deputy Yeon’s report is very factual, but hearing the situation at the time from Hwang Dan-ju’s perspective makes it feel different.”
“I apologize.”
“Because.”
Yang Chen asked, his eyes shining.
“Did you enjoy your trip with Deputy Yeon?”
Hwang Seok-tae said with relief.
“I was only acting according to the orders of my adjutant, rather than having fun on such a journey…”
“My order was to help Adjutant Yeon complete this order.”
“yes?”
“However, when the moment comes when your life is in danger, you should run away without looking back.”
“….”
“But you didn’t run away. “I fought hard together with Deputy Yeon.”
“….”
“I guess I moved because I decided that I had to jump in. “My heart is pounding, but thanks to your struggle, the Jongnam faction also overcame the crisis, which is a very good thing.”
Hwang Seok-tae was embarrassed.
Thanks to you, Jongnam overcame the crisis. It’s a nice thing to say, but if you look at it another way, it can be interpreted to mean that there was a need to help the Jongnam faction, the leader of the Baekdo political faction.
Yang Cheon noticed Hwang Seok-tae’s embarrassment at a glance.
He burst out laughing.
“Hey man, why are you so embarrassed?”
“….”
“Did you really think I would reprimand you for helping Jongnam’s troops defeat foreign forces?”
“…no.”
Yang Chen smiled.
“Jongnam is part of the old group. The Gu Party One Party is the leader of the martial arts faction and the core group that forms the Tang Geum Murim Alliance. If Jongnam had fallen, the Murim Alliance would have been greatly shaken, and the hardliners might have gained ground and tried to engage the enemy forcefully.”
“….”
“We formed an alliance with the Murim Alliance. If we could wipe them out right away by ourselves, there would be no need to form an alliance. “The fact that you led Jongnam to victory in the war means that you have preserved the military power to become our reliable ally.”
“….”
“You’ve done a great job. It was an ability worthy of the head of the Yongah Iron Team, honed through countless trainings and battles. “Good job.”
Hwang Seok-tae closed his eyes.
“I just did what I had to do.”
“haha. However…”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“It’s fortunate that you performed well, but please be careful from next time. If you die, who will lead the Iron Knights? “A unit without a leader is just a piece of flesh without bones.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“The Yongah Iron Team is one of the most powerful groups available to the headquarters. “You have no idea how much strength your presence, which receives absolute support from such a unit, means to me.”
A look of emotion appeared on Hwang Seok-tae’s face.
Considering his usually quite blunt personality, this probably means that he happily accepted Yang Cheon’s admiration.
“You must have been exhausted and had a hard time even reporting. Please rest well for a few days. “Leave the training to the leaders of each group.”
“I follow your orders.”
“Let’s go now. “Rewards for this will be given later.”
Hwang Seok-tae stood up, bowed his head to Yang Cheon, and left Daejeon.
After Hwang Seok-tae left, Yang Cheon quenched his appetite.
“Did I look that bad?”
Baekseo, who was standing next to him, looked at Yangcheon with puzzled eyes.
Yang Chen scratched his head.
“Even though I did what I should have done, I got noticed for no reason. How great would it have been to defeat the enemy by leading the innocent Jongnam troops? “But you still pay attention.”
Baekseo said quietly.
“Hwang Danju is an outstanding person. However, the lord of all of us, including Hwang Dan-ju, is the vice-lord. “There is no one who does not trust the Vice Lord’s abilities and character, but there may be those who wonder just in case.”
“is it?”
“of course. And Hwang Dan-ju’s appearance like that is ideal.”
“Ideal?”
“Isn’t it natural to fear a monarch who has sworn loyalty?”
“Oh, I see.”
Yang Chen stroked his chin.
‘I’m afraid of the monarch…’
I didn’t know that. Moreover, the Mukryongbu was a member of the Black Island Alliance. The Black Island is a place that runs on the logic of power, and the politics of fear were bound to lie deep beneath it.
‘Such emotions can blind the way you see people.’
That won’t be a problem. Because under his command, there is no fool who can’t do what needs to be done, even if they feel fear.
However, when I heard this story, Yeonhojeong came to mind.
‘With insightful eyes, you can see this person named Yang Cheon as white…’

The corners of Yang Cheon’s mouth rose.
‘At least he’s not afraid of me.’
I knew it, but thinking about it this way, I realized that he was a great guy.
Yang Chen said as he filled his glass.
“To instill fear in those who are deeply loyal to them. “That is sad in its own way.”
The white paper was embarrassed.
“My lord.”
“But, as you said, it is natural. It’s not because he’s the vice-lord of the Mukryongbu. There is no need for any other method for this Yang Chen. “It has always been that way and it will always be that way.”
“….”
“Maybe that’s why I hate it so much, but I’m also glad to see it.”
The white paper did not bother to ask who that hated yet welcome person was. Because I felt like I knew.
Yang Cheon said after emptying his glass again.
“Call Deputy Yeon.”
“I follow your orders.”
“And the group he brought with him.”
“yes?”
Yang Chen said indifferently.
“I heard that he also discovered and brought in useful talent from all over the place. “If that damned b*stard is the kind of talent he’s coveting, they must be some pretty worthy characters. I’d like to see their faces at least once.”
White Paper bowed his head.
“I’ll call Deputy Yeon.”
“Sure.”
After a while.
“My lord. “Adjutant Yeon and his party have arrived.”
“Take it in.”
Grumble.
The gates of Daejeon opened and Yeon Ho-jeong, Muk-bi Pae-yul, Kang-ryang Jin-yang, and So Jeong-gwang appeared one after another.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked to the center of Daejeon and took command.
“See you, Vice lord.”
At the same time, all five people bowed their heads.
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
Cheeeeeek!
A translucent haze flowed from his body. The entire cycle has been released.
“Oh my.”
Deep interest arose in Yang Chen’s eyes.
“I’ve seen those two before, but this is my first time seeing the other three.”
This refers to three people excluding Paeyul and Kang Ryang.
Yeon Ho-jeong introduced them one by one.
“This is the head of the military of the silent Murim League. He is a comrade who has been with me through life and death. And this one….”
After briefly introducing Jinyang and So Jeong-gwang, Yeon Ho-jeong sat down comfortably.
Yangcheon, who was looking around at them with strange eyes, soon spoke to Paeyul.
“You’ve completely escaped.”
A puzzled look appeared on Paeyul’s face.
Yang Chen chuckled.
“Prayer has become more fierce. Now, looking at him this way, he doesn’t seem like a person from a political faction at all. “Your martial arts has also grown greatly, but the change in your prayers is much more impressive than your martial arts growth.”
“….”
“If you come from a store window, you will receive great preferential treatment. What is it like? “Do you want to come to headquarters?”
Paeyul’s eyes deepened.
Yang Cheon, who was quietly watching the defeat, immediately waved his hand.
“It’s no fun either before or now.”
Paeyul had no answer until the end. I just looked at Yangcheon with deep, deep eyes.
Yang Cheon turned his gaze to Kang Ryang.
“We finally broke through. “That wall.”
“That’s right.”
His voice was uncharacteristically harsh.
On the contrary, Kang Liang previously treated Yang Chen gently. Although I lost my parents and siblings and my clan at his hands, it was no help to build an angle in front of Cheolcheon Jisu, who I could not defeat right away.
But it was different now.
‘big!’
Yangcheon seen again after breaking through the barrier.
Things I saw were different from before. Even before, he felt like he was suffocating due to the terrifying presence, but now that he had broken through the martial sect, the Yang Chen he could see was truly a monster.
Kang Ryang looked at Yeon Ho-jeong without realizing it.
‘My brother is a monster too, but the author…’
I almost stuck out my tongue without realizing it.
‘The level is different. Regardless of the martial arts learned or temperament, there are different levels of martial arts. I wonder how much my current brother can endure…’
Yangcheon said.
“why? Do I look different than before?”
“…That’s right.”
“ha ha ha! You admit it plainly. There are many people with outstanding military talents, but it is difficult to find someone with such a disciplined mind. “If there wasn’t bad blood between us, we would have tried to recruit him somehow.”
“It was the vice-lord who created that bad relationship.”
Yangcheon burst into laughter at Kangryang’s calm words.
“Hahahaha! “Are you still as bold as ever?”
“….”
Kang Ryang also looked at Yang Cheon in silence, just like Paeyul.
Yang Chen chuckled and waved his hand.
“That’s it. “You guys can go back now.”
All I had to say was a few words to Paeyul and Kang Ryang.
He calls me in to see his face and tells me to leave after seeing everything. It was enough to hurt my pride.
However, none of the five people who turned around had expressions of hurt pride.
Rather, he seemed very surprised. Jinyang and Xiao Jeonggwang were almost unconscious, Mo Fei’s eyes were shaking as if there had been an earthquake, Pai Yu’s face was frowning, and Kang Ryang’s complexion was a little pale.
Kugoogung!
The door to the main hall opened and five people walked out.
And when the door closed again, Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth opened.
“Do you want it?”
Yang Cheon’s once relaxed face suddenly became scary and stiff.
“What is it?”
“You really didn’t ask me, did you?”
“Is there anyone here but you?”
“Are you asking such a question again?”
“Did you say earlier that the head of the Women’s Association’s National Assembly remains silent?”
“yes.”
“It’s more than a rumor. Even at such a young age, he shows the appearance of a veteran who has fought hundreds of battles. Eyes, prayers, breathing… everything is top-notch.”
“One of my most trusted comrades.”
“They say the girl named Mukbi was with them from the beginning, but what’s really surprising are the other two.”
“….”
“How did you recruit him?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I just appealed with all my heart. “Is there any other way?”
“Was that really all there was?”
“of course.”
Yangcheon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, sighed.
“One guy has already completed it to some extent, and the other guy has enough talent to be called a genius. her! There are many talented people in the world, but it is not easy to meet such talented people….”
“….”
“Not even one, but two? “You really make me jealous every time we meet.”
Even if the rate of defeat is the same, among the four remaining people, except for So Jeong-gwang, there is no one who is confident that Bu-seon, his disciple, will win.
Jiang Liang had gone far enough for someone who had just broken through Mujong. At least a fight worthy of a fight would be possible at a strong level.
What about silence?
There are always variables in a fight, but Bu-seon will never be able to defeat her. Because the levels are different in the first place.
And it was the same for Jinyang. Even though he couldn’t remain silent, the difference was never that big. At least those two people were walking a few steps ahead of the boat.
In other words, at Yeon Ho-jeong’s side, there were already more than two people with the same level of military power as the heads of the Daemun Sect, and there were two or three masters who were close to that level.
At this level, there was no need to send out separate units, and they were enough troops to handle most battles on their own. There is probably no group for which the term ‘elite minority’ fits so well.
Yang Cheon was astounded, so it was worth it. Considering the helplessness of his disciple, he could not help but feel deprived.
“You probably didn’t just call me to see my people, right?”
“It did. “But I was left with nothing to say.”
“Then I’ll tell you first. Even if that wasn’t the case, I was going to come see you.”
“…What is it again, man?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“I want to see the king’s reaction.”
