Chapter 142
“Greetings to the secular disciples of the Volcano Sect, Lee Poong and Cheongpung Sasuk.”
Jahaengong and Maehwa Gumbeop. Lastly, Gong Il-hyuk’s face turned dark in an unbelievable situation at the one word that came out of Lee Poong’s mouth.
‘Then is he really that guy?’
Even if he is not the grandson of the Sword Saint, one thing is certain.
That idiot with a bewildered face and only bowing down is the descendant who inherited everything from the Sword Master Maesong School.
“I-I can’t do this. This is really nonsense… … The time when Gong Il-hyeok stuttered and denied reality. A soft voice reached my ears.
“Gong Daehyeop.”
“Ah, Comrade Do Commander.”
Upon discovering Hong Jin, Gong Il-hyuk’s complexion brightened.
The Chong Nam faction was carrying out various projects through connections with the government, and Hong Jin was a powerful person in Shanxi Province whom he came to know in the process.
He is also the only one who can lend him a helping hand in this predicament.
“How did this happen?”
Gong Il-hyuk felt at ease at Hong-jin’s soft voice.
“It seems I was momentarily mistaken.”
“A misunderstanding, what kind of an illusion?”
“I thought he was just a swindler selling the name of the Sword Saint… …
“Well, I’m a total stranger to martial arts, but I didn’t look like a con man, did I?”
“Hey, there was just a little misunderstanding.”
“Wrong… … “
Hongjin, who was reciting lowly, stared at Gong Ilhyuk.
“Gong Daehyeop.”
Yes, Comrade Do Commander.”
“Do you know why I invited people from the Jong-Nam faction, including Gong Dae-hyeop?”
“I know, I know.”
There are two reasons.
The first is to get acquainted with King Sangsan, the lord of Shanxi Province and the royal family, and get approval for a new business.
The second is to press the nose of Hongjin’s quiet Lee Poong.
“But, as you know, I’ve been a bit busy lately. So, I wasn’t in a hurry, so I couldn’t tell Her Highness that another guest was coming?”
“I see.”
The voice without the hum was just dry. Gong Il-hyuk asked with an anxious face.
“But why did you suddenly say that… …
“I want you to leave today.”
“yes?”
“Wouldn’t Her Highness be uncomfortable if there were uninvited guests?”
It was an obvious congratulatory order. In addition to that, the word uninvited.
Gong Il-hyeok protested.
“An uninvited guest, Comrade Do Commander. What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, do I have to say it twice? It’s exactly what I said earlier. I couldn’t tell Her Highness yet.”
Hongjin was originally an inner official. He has been by King Sangsan’s side since he was a baby, and thanks to him, he has been promoted to the position of Comrade Dojihwi, a powerful person in Shanseo Province and a second-in-command in the military.
How could such a young king’s favourite, turn a guest away just because he didn’t tell you ahead of time?
“I-I understand what Commander Doh is talking about??… Hongjin smiled at Gong Il-hyuk, who was taken aback.
“Gong Daehyeop.”
“yes.”
“I didn’t see it that way, isn’t your head a bit bad?”
“… … yes?”
“Or are you blind?”
The sudden rant made the whole area quiet. Gong Il-hyeok and the other two Jongnam Sam-soo clenched their fists.
“You are talking too much.”
“Oh, if you felt that way, then you understood my intentions correctly. There’s no way I did it a little too much on purpose.”
“Comrade Do Commander!”
“Shut up, this is Daejeon.”
“What’s the reason you’re doing this all of a sudden!
Could it be that you have disappointed me with the previous incident!”
“It’s because I’m lowering my voice. And I’m not disappointed with Gong Daehyeop. We’re not friends, and we’re not going to expect anything from each other and be disappointed.”
“that… … Have you forgotten the pact with our Jongnam group?”
“A promise? Ah, the one asking to open a road to Shanxi?”
Hongjin laughed and continued.
“That’s what the original deal is like.
You never know when something will go wrong until it’s done. Surely you didn’t think that the matter that Her Highness hadn’t fallen yet was over with just a few words, right?”
Gong Il-hyeok barely suppressed his boiling anger.
The state of saying something to the Samantha sect, as if the work was over.
If this task succeeds, you will receive a corresponding reward, but if it fails, you cannot avoid reprimand. He had to coax the eunuch in front of him as much as possible.
“If this thing goes well, wouldn’t it be a good thing for Comrade Doh?
Jongnam faction never forgets the eunwon (恩怨).”
Eun-hye-myeon, Eun-hye-ji, it was a subtle threat to even add resentment. A warning that one of the old factions may be turned into an enemy.
There is no way that Hong-jin, who has been a housekeeper since childhood and watched all kinds of strife, could not understand the meaning of those words.
‘This is why the Murim people are like this.’

Hongjin clicked his tongue inwardly.
Every word and action is clumsy and outspoken.
To him, Lee Pung, who was reticent and persistent like a military man, was a much more difficult opponent than a half-worn figure like Gong Il-hyeok.
‘I don’t even know who’s holding the hilt.’
If you have a goal you want, it won’t be enough even if you don’t have enough gear, but they even threatened you. But thanks to him, he made up his mind.
“Bong confrontation. People who are weak like me are scared to hear such words, so I can’t work with them.”
“Ah, if there was any misunderstanding… … Just when Gong Il-hyeok was about to apologize as if he didn’t know, Jin Tae-kyung, who had been watching the two of them with a bored expression, threw out a word.
“What is the misunderstanding? You won’t even believe a passing dog.”
“this person… …
“Geez, Jong Nampa sunbaenims. I don’t know how great of a business you are, but can’t we talk about it later? I’m dying of sadness that the table was turned over.”
Hong-jin burst into laughter at the sight of Jin Tae-kyung licking his lips at the food rolling on the floor.
“Don’t worry. If they leave, they will ask you to bring in new food. Yes?”
Now it’s a situation that pushes me to the back to get out. Gong Il-hyeok gritted it.
“Comrade Do Commander. I admit that my eyesight is poor. However, please think carefully about what you will lose and gain from today.”
“What do you think you’re misunderstanding, but it was a decision made after thoroughly weighing the practical benefits?”
“What is that… … T
“The work will continue. We will also build a dedicated trade route and trading post connecting Shaanxi and Shanxi and increase the scale.”
“Then, shouldn’t we hold hands with the text even more!”
Hongjin’s eyes widened at the cry that felt even desperate.
“Are there only Chong Nam factions in Seomseo? As far as I know, there is a place that is much older than Jongnam faction and has a good public perception.”
“… … Are you talking about the volcanic wave?”
Gong Il-hyuk’s face twisted.
Hwasan and Jongnam are enemies who have been engaged in a war of nerves countless times over the past hundreds of years.
If this incident went to Hwasan and not another clan, there was no way it would end with a light rebuke.
“How could you do this to me!”
“Of course I can do this. There are better options right in front of me.”
“The main text is never pushed by the volcanic wave. No, at the time, we can say that we have surpassed the volcanic wave.”
“You can be proud of yourself. It’s nice to see you being loyal. But from my point of view, wouldn’t it be better to say “self-recognized”?”
Hongjin continued without hesitation.
“Bong confrontation. I’ll ask straight forward. Are there masters like swordsmen in the Jongnam faction?”
“… … that.”
“Then, what about the outstanding late exponents like Sohyeop over there?”
All three of Jongnam, including Gong Il-hyuk, could not open their mouths easily.
Sword Saint? Poongungeomgun, the head of the Jongnim faction, is often compared to the Ten Kings, but that’s it.
Not to mention, I had never even heard of a monster like the blue wind. In particular, Gong Il-hyeok, who had to kneel down in one match even after performing first, had his face reddened.
“Ha, but the number of top masters belonging to the text is by no means inferior to that of the Volcano faction.”
“From what I hear, the strength of the Moorim sect is not determined by how many masters there are, but by what kind of masters you have.”
Gong Il-hyeok was momentarily speechless at Hong-jin’s point-blank words.
However, somehow, by all means, he had to prevent the Volcano faction from losing his seat.
“In addition, all cooperation with the coffin so far has been successfully completed. The Volcanic Faction, on the other hand, has never had the experience of pushing something like this before. It’s clumsy and mistakes are inevitable.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Hongjin smiled and turned his head towards someone.
“What do you think of this cheomsa?”
Lee Poong, who had been silently watching, answered.
“That’s right. Hwasan tends to clearly differentiate between coffins and Moorim.”
When Hongjin frowned and Gong Ilhyuk’s face turned red, Lee Poong’s heavy voice continued.
“But isn’t there a first time for everyone?”
“Lee Poong, you bastard!”
Hongjin laughed.
“We heard that this cheomsa has really grown a lot.”
“Thanks to whom.”
We had the same conversation just a meal or so ago, but the atmosphere is completely opposite.
The two continued their conversation in a friendly atmosphere.
“I want this cheomsa to let go of the bridge. What do you think?”
“of course. I’ll send a copy to the master. If you hear this news, you will be happy too.”
“Oh, and let me tell you that we have a special guest here.”
Looking at the direction of Hongjin’s wink, Lee Pung smiled softly.
“That’s news that Master Tae will like.”
“It’s a good start.”
“I think so too.”
Gong Il-hyuk, who was completely excluded from the conversation before he knew it, trembled.
A situation that has already come too far to turn back. He looked at the audience with a mixture of anger and betrayal in his eyes.
“How dare you, how dare you ignore the Great Chong Nam faction.”
“Hey, did you tell me earlier? I wanted to.”
The main character of the voice interrupted was Jin Tae-kyung. He smiled and spoke.
“It wasn’t that I was ignoring the Jongnam group, I was ignoring that side. It’s because I don’t know, I really like Jongnampa. reign… … Anyway, I read all the way to the thirty-fourth volume.”
“What bullshit is that! This is not the place for someone like Taewon Jinga who has no genealogy to intervene!”
Jin Tae-gyeong stabbed Cheongpung in the side with a wounded face.
“Qing Xiaohyup. That man doesn’t even have a genealogy of our family.”
“Huh, to the benefactor?”
“huh. No matter how senior he is, aren’t his words too harsh? I can’t even answer because I’m scared because it’s an old file room, so Cheong So-hyeop speaks for me.”
“Me, me? I’m not good at that.”
“Am I not a benefactor? Was it just a benefactor?”
“No, of course not.”
“Then tell me what I tell you.”
When the whispering was over, Cheongpung hesitantly opened his mouth.
“Turn it off… … “
“Qing Xiaoxia, louder! You can do it!”
Encouraged by Jin Tae-gyeong’s cheering, Cheongpung closed his eyes and shouted.
“Go away, you old bastards!”
“”……!”
..!”
“”……!”
..!”
Kkondae? I don’t know exactly what that means, but it doesn’t matter. Because it has the word baby behind it.
“I’ll kill you like this… … ?
The three people, including Gong Il-hyuk, widened their eyes.
Who they are, they are the original disciples of Jongnam faction. It was an indelible disgrace to them, who had grown accustomed to people’s envying stares.
but… … .
Let’s go!”
Gong Il-hyeok held back his anger and turned around. Neither the opponent nor the place are good enough to repay this disgrace.
‘Today’s work will pay off someday. certainly!’
Drops of blood dripped from his clenched fists.
The voices of Jin Tae-gyeong and Cheongpung followed behind him as he left Daejeon with rough steps.
“Hey, you’re good at swearing. Is this your first time?”
“Yes, try swearing for the first time!”
“I have a lot of talent for a first time.
Learn a lot from me in the future. If you live in the world, do you have a lot to use even if you don’t want to use it?”
“yes!”
