Chapter 201
“It’s hard to see your face these days.”
“That’s right. These days, I am confused whether I am an escort or a general.”
Qin Wei-qing laughed at Wi-Pang’s complaint.
“Please suffer for a few more days. Rather, what happened to the things we talked about last time?”
“Everything is going well. The lords of the gates we have collected this time are obedient, and the government and the government are actively cooperating.”
If Taewon Jinga was a ship with favorable winds, Jin Wigyeong was a seasoned shipowner.
On the first day of the meeting, he began to win the loyalty of small and medium-sized factions, and then dealt with big issues one by one.
Murim’s problem was sustained by Hwawang Jeokcheongang, and the government department was supported by King Sangsan, a member of the royal family, so there was no noise.
‘It goes without saying that it’s already on the upper side.’
They are more sensitive to rumors than anyone else.
It was natural for them to flock because they smelled the money.
Qin Yujing, quickly clearing her mind, asked Yu Peng.
“Budget? How long do you think it will last?”
“Not enough.”
“What?’
“It means that there is not enough warehouse to store the riches.”
“… … Whoa.”
“Two warehouses were already full two days ago, and the goods that came in after that are being stored in the empty hall.”
Qin Yuqing let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
“Awesome.”
“The announcement made by the Grand Council yesterday was decisive. Because it instilled confidence in those who were long or private until the end.”
“They are the real giants.”
“you’re right.”
Those with wider feet are more likely to be stabbed by thorns.
Taewon Jin-ga of today is definitely a goose with golden eggs, but there are also giant munpas and Sega families that have an uncomfortable relationship through the King of Hwawang, including the Jongnam faction.
“That’s probably why I suddenly asked for a private party at the quiet Shijiazhuang.”
Shijiazhuang is the ruler of the heavens and the world.
The fact that they stepped forward is proof that they were convinced of the potential of Taewon’s true value.
“Isn’t weighing things a characteristic of them?”
“Of course it should. Please drop in.”
“Johnny.”
Not long after Hupin left, a plump middle-aged man entered the office.
“Aigoo, Lord Soga! How long has this been!”
“Long time no see. General Ha.”
The middle-aged man’s status is Shijiazhuang’s foreign minister. Although he is only one of the five foreign commanders, his powers are enormous.
Qin Weiqing smiled softly at him, who was constantly sweating.
“See you in three years. How’s the lord?”
“You correct yourself like a young man in his prime. Heard the happy news this time and wants to see you. As Soga-ju knows, you were sick last time… …
“yes. It was. Everyone knows.”
Qin Yuqing clearly remembered that day three years ago.
He waited for 15 days and was allowed to live alone, but he had to leave Shijiazhuang as if he were being chased without seeing Jangju’s face.
It is a coincidence that we found the palanquin of a high official in front of the gate of Shijiazhuang. I decided to think so.
‘Because that’s Murim.’
But now the location has changed.
The past three years have been short but eventful, and the arrogant foreign minister who treated himself like a slob has become a humble merchant.
‘I knew Iza could use honorific words. I knew it first.’
Jin Wi-gyeong listened to General Ha’s words with a strange feeling.
He readily accepted Shijiazhuang’s proposal that he would like to actively participate in the Shanxi Sanxi with the cooperation of Taiyuan Chenjia.
Of course, the details had to be reviewed, but Shijiazhuang’s proposal was not generous.
“You have a better suggestion than I thought. To the extent that I want to be able to do this.”
Commander Ha rubbed his hands together and smiled.
“I am a merchant to the core. I never do business that loses money.”
Merchants also have classes. The third class exchanges goods, the second class buys things that can leave a profit, and the first class buys the future.
Shijiazhuang is one of the greatest merchants in the world. They are aiming for this door that will come back dozens of times in the future rather than the immediate gain.
‘You won’t have much left over. It won’t happen that the family will play into your hands.’
Contrary to what he thought, Jin Wei-kyung smiled wide.
It is not easy to live in the world to reveal the words you want to say and your honest feelings. Especially for cunning merchants.
“I will give you a place to stay. Let’s talk deeper then.”
“Thank you, Lord Soga.”
General Ha, who was about to get up, hesitated.
“Stir.”
“Do you have anything else to do?”
“It’s a difficult request, but can I see the Jeokcheongang Daehyeop?”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Shijiazhuang is a name with considerable authority, but the King of Fire is an exception. Since he started staying at Jinga in Taewon, he has not allowed any of the honored guests to meet alone.
Commander-in-Chief Ha continued, wiping his sweat.
“It wasn’t easy at all. I tried to visit him myself, and I asked for a seat secretly by having a subordinate… …
“Oops. The enemy might not have liked it.”

“Yes. I came back almost as half an asshole. So I’m not shy and ask Lord Soga.”
Qin Weiqing swallowed a laugh and replied.
“well. After the meeting, I don’t know, but the next few days will be difficult.”
“You haven’t seen it since the day before, so may I ask about the condensed milk?”
“You must be instructing my second brother.”
“Oh, I see. There were many examples.”
When General Ha let out a short exclamation and left the office, Jin Wi-gyeong could not hold back the laughter that leaked out.
I feel like my tired body and mind are relieved after hosting a meeting for several days. He called his servant in a pleasant voice.
“Wuppin. Who’s next?”
* * *
Early morning when the sun didn’t even rise.
It wasn’t Hyukmujin or Cheongpung that woke me up.
Chow ah!
“Ugh!”
The first thing I saw after waking up from the baptism of cold water was Jeokcheongang with its ringed eyes open.
“What, what is it?”
“To sleep all this time. Are you insane?”
“No, I only slept for two o’clock, so what do you catch?”
Jeokcheongang nags at me in my bewilderment.
“In two trials, you bastard, even if you swing a weapon, I will swing it a thousand times more. Also, where did you learn to say goodbye to Master in the morning?”
“… … Master?”
For a moment, the shocked Jeokcheongang stuttered.
“Ooh, isn’t that what people should look like first!”
“……”
“To avoid suspicion, like a real teacher! Acting like a real disciple is fundamental!”
“Ah, yes.”
The pioneer of Moorim method acting was here.
At my lukewarm response, Jeokcheongang’s face flushed red.
“Anyway, I don’t see you smoking like this. Follow me and come out.”
“Where?”
“There is a place where the old lady looked.”
I wondered if I had found a gymnasium with few people because there was a place I looked at, but the place I followed the Jeokcheongang was not inside Taewon Jinga, but a nearby mountain.
Trees easily exceeded several meters in circumference, and the ground was hard.
“This would be suitable.”
Jeokcheongang stopped in the wide open field and put the bag on his back on the stump.
“What is it?”
“Never mind. It’s for later use.”
“Later?”
“Yes, things that will make you writhe in pleasure.”
“……”
Why do things like whips, candlesticks, and masks come to mind?
As I was looking sideways at the bag with anxious eyes, Jeokcheongang opened his mouth with a stern face.
“Stop paying attention and take out the window.”
“Ah, yes.”
I put a few spears I had brought carefully into the ground.
It was obvious why the Jeokcheongang would come to me at such an early hour as today.
I try hard to pretend I’m not, but Jeokcheongang wants to make me his disciple.
The reason why I try to deny it is because I am not convinced myself yet.
‘Because I’ve already made a painful mistake once.’
The heartache that Jeokcheongang suffered from Jopil has not yet healed.
That’s why it was clear that I would decide whether or not to take him as a disciple after constantly watching and thinking.
‘Even if I don’t teach Yeolhwamun’s Shingonjeolhak right away, I’ll do my best to guide him.’
It is a map of a master of transcendence.
A word from someone who conquered a farther path before me is more precious than a thousand gold.
Lifting up a well-balanced barbed wire, I swallowed.
“What can I do now?”
“Come on.”
“yes?”
“I told you to dump. With all your might.”
A smile appeared on the corner of the crinkled mouth of the redneck.
“One meal. If you can make the old lady take even one step back, you win.”
belt ring.
– The quest [One Step Back] has been created.
[one step back]
The King of Fire wants to see your true skill.
Imprint your worth by making him withdraw within the time limit.
Class: Apocalypse Restrictions: Jin Taekyung Mission: One Step Back (Incomplete) Reward: ???
failure: ???
‘To make me take a step back?’
It looks easy at first glance, but it’s not the peak grade for nothing.
Even more so if the opponent is the King of Fire, Jeokcheongang.
When I took my eyes off the quest window, I saw Jeokcheongang with a relaxed expression.
“Okay, let’s start.”
Beep.
[29:59]
The moment the time limit window appeared in the air, I kicked off the ground and rushed toward him.
Wedge love!
Schwack!
The spear blade tore through the air. The compressed air exploded and the old man’s gray hair flew off. Jeokcheongang, who avoided the first spear shot by Jin Taegyeong, thought.
‘What is this guy?’
fast. And it had the power to smash rocks.
It was speed and power that he had not expected even though he had already examined Jin Tae-gyeong’s body once.
Whiririk, Wheeaeaeek! Perbung!
Two hits, three hits, a shot… … .
shoot, cut, hit
Every time he escaped the shower of spears pouring down like heavy rain, the surprise of Jeokcheongang grew like a snowball.
‘Skilled Like a guy born on the battlefield.’
Now only twenty one. However, the trajectory and movement drawn by the blade of a spear are not lacking compared to that of a fairly strong master.
No, rather more than that.
Jeokcheongang, who met many Murim people during the Jeongma Daejeon, knew something well.
‘True unmanned soldiers are perfected through numerous practical experiences.’
The old file room and the five generations.
They are obviously the giant clan that dominates the world, but only a few have experienced surviving the crossroads of death.
It was also the reason why the Demonic Cult, which had grown up with the principle of only the way and the supremacy of the strong, swallowed up half of the midfield.
At the beginning of the war, how many disciples of the prestigious Daepa died?
‘But this guy is different.’
There is no flagging ceremony or hesitation, which is no different from an empty gangjeong.
The blade of a spear aiming at blood all over the body without regard to it and the cold, hardened eyes are medals that only those who have experienced countless battles and have seen blood.
Shririk, Shwak!
The spear blade containing rotation vibrates.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
The sound was like hundreds of bees flapping their wings, and the spear blades fired were sharper than poison needles.
‘It’s only been three months since you learned martial arts? Who is this?’
In terms of movement, not three months, but three years. No, I think it’s been thirty years.
Jeokcheongang was unaware of Jin Taegyeong’s past seven years of battle.
It was just admiration.
‘… … He’s a great guy.’
Jeok Cheon-gang himself has lived his entire life crazy about martial arts.
However, even to him who had achieved greatness, the current appearance of Jin Tae-kyung was a mystery itself.
‘Did I say he was the greatest martial artist of all time?’
Recalling what Jin Wi-gyeong had said, the new model of Jeokcheongang trembled with joy and awe.
‘Yes, you are right.’
It was at that moment that I closed my eyes, unable to overcome the afterglow.
nettle liquid
A beam of light shooting towards the chest.
In an instant, Jeokcheongang’s eyes half-opened. At the same time, his wrinkled hand grabbed the spear blade.
Kwajik!
Before I knew it, the two hands burning with red flame broke the spear blade and melted it. Molten iron dripped onto the ground, which had been hardened by the cold wind.
“… … Wow, Mr. Isn’t this cheating?”
Jeokcheongang grinned at Jintaekyeong, who was muttering something absurd.
“Now is the beginning.”
