Episode 5: Bargain (1)
‘!?’
At the words that came out of Mo Qingyun’s mouth, the guard’s expression hardened.
It was a story that could have been hidden because Jangju was safe, but I never expected Mok Gyeong-un to mention it directly.
‘No, that…’
Are you really anxious to provoke your godfather, Mrs. Seok?
That was like her secret.
If he said he knew that, it wouldn’t be strange for him to aim for a murderer here and there.
‘shit!’
Gochan became very stiff and looked at Mrs. Seok.
As expected, Mrs. Seok’s expression had become more venomous than usual.
But anger did not pour out of her mouth right away.
that,
‘this guy······.’
In the first place, she came here because she thought Mo Kyung-un might have seen or figured out something.
However, Mo Gyeong-un’s attitude was completely unexpected.
Admitting that you knew his secret was not much different from asking someone to kill you.
‘What is your intention?’
Is this bad guy coming out boldly because he thinks he has a weakness?
If that’s the case, it’s self-defeating.
Anyway, this guy was also someone who would have to be dealt with if Mok Yeong-ho became the leader.
-Papak!
Madam Seok’s hand quickly grabbed Mo Gyeong-un’s neck like a snake seeking its prey.
Howie Gochan, who saw the movements of his hands, was convinced.
Coming from a martial arts family, Jinhwa Shijiazhuang, she was clearly a top-notch expert.
‘I can’t deal with him unless he’s sentenced to death.’
That also meant that he was an opponent that Mok Kyung-un could not handle.
‘ah?’
Mok Gyeong-un, whose neck was being held, had a strange look in his eyes.
I was secretly surprised by his strength and unique hand movements, which were stronger than I expected.
‘Is this woman strong?’
In the information sheet, it was written that since he was from Geumhwa Seokjiajang, he would be quite skilled in martial arts.
But at this level, it was much stronger than Gochan.
‘that’s interesting.’
Mrs. Seok’s wrists were extremely thin.
She was no different from any other woman, but she was this strong.
As expected, the power of martial arts was mysterious.
Mrs. Seok’s eyes narrowed when she saw Mok Gyeong-un’s reaction.
‘This guy…’
I grabbed his neck to scare him that he could take his life at any moment, but he didn’t even show any embarrassment.
Since it wasn’t his child, he didn’t see it often, but did this child have this much guts?
On the contrary, I knew him to be the most timid among his half-brothers.
“you……..”
That one word that came out of Mrs. Seok’s mouth.
Hearing this, Howie Gochan swallowed dry saliva.
Could it be that they got caught?
Come to think of it, if you become a first-class expert, wouldn’t you be able to tell whether or not your opponent has learned martial arts just by grabbing their neck?
however,
“……..Are you hiding your true colors?”
‘!?’
Go Chan was dumbfounded at the words that came out of Mrs. Seok’s mouth.
Should we consider this fortunate?
Or should we say that it actually made us more cautious?
I didn’t have any doubts, but it seemed like Mrs. Seok perceived it in a negative way.
“This is what you were like…”
At that time, Mok Kyung-un opened his mouth.
“I don’t think that’s… important.”
“what?”
“Lord Jang….if he…..turns…..and…..it will be difficult for the Grand Duke to become…Lord. …I guess so.”
“This guy!”
-closely!
Mrs. Seok’s hands became even stronger.
“upstart. Do you think I can’t kill you right here? “Where and with whom are you trying to bargain?”
“This…is a little painful.”
She frowned at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
If you put this much force on your neck, it would be difficult to breathe, but there was no significant change in expression.
Isn’t it painful?
While I was wondering, Mok Kyung-un said.

“Yes… that’s right… bargaining… is… to… a certain degree… towards… the other party… I have boundaries… I have feelings.
Hey…it seems…possible.”
“wariness? Do you really think I would feel that way about someone like you?”
Among the four sons of the Mok family, Mok Gyeong-un was the one with the least martial arts skills.
Moreover, the mother is dead and the mother’s family is almost ruined, so what can be done to make them feel wary?
It was right then.
“Ma Seung.”
The words were almost gone.
-Startle!
For a moment, a cold sensation that sent shivers down her spine took hold of her.
Then, Mrs. Seok collided with something and was pushed backwards.
-Chrrrrrr!
Her eyes were shaking as she was pushed back about four steps.
‘What was that just now?’
Even though I couldn’t see it, something touched me.
I was pushed back while generating energy for a moment, but the feeling went beyond being really unpleasant and gave me goosebumps.
“Whoa.”
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un, who had raised his upper body, turned his neck and released it.
-Wow! Wow!
“It’s not a very pleasant feeling to have someone grab your neck.”
Mrs. Seok glared harshly and spoke in a relaxed tone.
“What did you just do?”
“What are you doing?”
“It was clear just now…”
It was difficult to explain.
Mok Kyung-un did not do anything to himself.
But what is that strange feeling?
I couldn’t understand it, but Mok Kyung-un sat down on the bed and said.
“Do you feel like bargaining now?”
“Bargain? That’s funny. “I guess there was some trick I was hiding, but do you think I’ll have the same luck as before?”
“I guess it’s still there. “Then should I just be a maid?”
“what?”
“The left side would be better.”
“What are you talking about on the left…?”
It was a moment to ask a question.
“evil!”
Everyone’s eyes turned in the direction of the sound.
‘!?’
Mrs. Seok’s eyes wavered.
No, not just her, but everyone in the medicine hall’s eyes widened.
That was because one of the maids that Lady Seok had brought with her floated up to a height of about a foot.
“Whoop whoop!”
It looked like she was about to scream out of surprise, but the maid muttered as if her mouth was blocked by something.
Everyone was speechless at this sight.
What on earth is going on?
Why am I acting like that when I’m the only one who thinks of a perfectly fine maid?
‘Do…that’s ridiculous.’
Mrs. Seok’s mind became confused by this strange phenomenon.
I heard that among the profound Naegong masters, there are those who can manipulate things with inner energy, or true energy.
But there was no way this young guy was such an expert.
Moreover, if he had shown such a profound spirit that he lifted the maid, he would have sensed her energy to some extent.
‘What, what is it?’
Gochan, the escort, was equally surprised.
What does this mean?
Was the fake Mu Qingyun hiding this strange ability?
-Sigh!
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un casually raised one hand and pretended to slit his throat.
It was that moment.
“Oops!”
Then, the veins on the face of the maid, who was floating in the air as if caught by something, bulged and her eyes rolled back.
It looked like he was going to run out of breath at any moment.
‘This, this?’
The body of the dead fighter came to mind.
Mrs. Seok, embarrassed by that sight, shouted.
“Huh, stop!”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re doing this right now! “I don’t know what hex is, but stop now!”
“well.”
“you!”
“I’m trying to prove that I’m worthy of bargaining with the great lady, so wouldn’t it be okay to risk the life of at least one person?”
Mok Kyung-un smiled.
Seeing that, Mrs. Seok’s expression hardened even more.
A maid who looks as if she will run out of breath at any moment.
I wouldn’t know it if she were an ordinary maid, but she was a child who had taken care of her from her hometown, Seokgajang.
– Wow!
She bit her lip and shouted.
“stop! stop! “I’ll listen to you talk about bargaining and all, so stop now!”
Hearing her words, Mok Kyung-un nodded lightly.
OK,
-thud!
The maid, who was on the verge of losing her breath, fell unconscious on the floor.
“digestion! digestion!”
Another maid hurriedly examined the details of the unconscious woman.
Fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief that his life was okay.
Mrs. Seok was also relieved, but more than that, she had doubts about Mo Kyung-un’s strange abilities.
What on earth is this?
It was a power that had nothing to do with energy.
This was almost like a magic trick or supernatural power.
When did you acquire these strange powers?
‘……..this guy.’
My mind was filled with doubts, but since I didn’t know what this power was right away, it was too risky to push myself against it.
To do that, they should have brought only guard warriors who knew how to do martial arts.
Mrs. Seok, who was glaring at Mok Gyeong-un, opened her mouth.
“……What are you bargaining for?”
“Since the owner is doing it today and tomorrow, don’t you need the owner’s seal?”
“……..”
She didn’t answer, but she didn’t deny it.
It wasn’t something to deny in the first place.
It was the only way to ensure succession.
But I didn’t understand.
“If you knew that, you could have kept it hidden. Why are you talking about it?”
“Why are you talking?”
“okay. “If you were a pastoralist, you would want to become a chieftain.”
It was this that made her suspicious.
I couldn’t understand why someone would tell me something that could be kept secret.
If you use the reference book seal, you can gain the power of your vassals.
however,
“I don’t really want to be.”
“what?”
Mrs. Seok was momentarily speechless at the words that came out of Mok Gyeong-un’s mouth.
You don’t want to become a leader?
You could become the owner of the historic Wulin family, a powerful family in northern Anhui Province, but you don’t want that?
“……Are you telling me to believe that now?”
“Isn’t it incredible?”
“Would you believe it?”
“You won’t believe it. “You might think it’s cheating.”
“If there is no compelling reason…”
“Firstly, as I said just now, I am not interested, and secondly, should I just say that I don’t want to get involved and fight in the succession battle?”
“You don’t want to fight?”
“yes. “To be precise, I’m not interested, but should I say that I don’t want to waste my time on something pointless?”
She frowned at Mo Kyung-un’s words like this.
Does this guy now think that deciding on the owner of the Daeyeonmok Swordsman is a waste of time?
How much effort did he put into making his son, Mok Yeong-ho, a king?
It was absurd in another way.
She said while staring at Mo Kyung-un.
“……..If you really don’t want anything, tell me the location of the main seal and the non-level seal. “Then I’ll believe you’ve really given up.”
Mok Kyung-un snorted at her words.
“You can’t do that.”
“Then I completely believe you…”
“Don’t believe it. Then, I will make the same bargain with the second Confucius.”
“what?”
For a moment, Mrs. Seok’s composure was shaken.
“What are you talking about now…..”
“It is you who heard. Since it seems like you don’t understand what I’m saying, let me explain kindly. “I say I don’t need it, but is it true that the only people who want a master’s seal are the great wife and the eldest brother Mok Yeong-ho?”
‘!!!!!’
Her expression completely hardened.
Seeing this, Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“Now I think you know who has the sword hilt.”
