< Episode 56: Loyalty (3) >
Mo Kyung-un said, raising the corner of his mouth slyly.
“Kill Meng Wuyak.”
‘!?’
For a moment, Nie Chun’s expression hardened.
I was curious about what Mok Gyeong-un would ask him to prove his loyalty to.
But this was a truly unexpected request.
Nie Chun whispered in an urgent voice.
“hey. “Are you doing this on purpose?”
“On purpose?”
“No matter how much it proves your determination to be loyal, it doesn’t mean you’re killing Meng Wuyak now.”
“Foot.”
Mok Kyung-un laughed at his words.
Then he said quickly.
“After all, it’s just words.”
At those words, Nie Chun’s brow furrowed.
Could it be that he wasn’t intentionally testing himself, but really meant to kill him?
Suddenly, Nie Chun made eye contact with Mo Gyeong-un.
At that moment, I felt like the hairs on my entire body were standing on end.
It literally gave me chills.
‘This bastard…’
Are you really sane?
“hey. We’re on a classified mission right now. “Are you saying you didn’t think about that?”
“What does that mean?”
“Uh, what happened? “If Meng Wuyue dies, there will be no way to contact the advance party at the primary contact point and receive help from the officials directly under Huaiju in the imperial palace.”
“······.”
“Are you listening to me?”
“well.”
“Well, no. Proof of loyalty. You can do it any way you want. But to kill Meng Muyak, the son of the Vice Lord, is to make enemies of both the Vice Lord and the Lord of the Lord. “You don’t think about that at all?”
Nie Chun could not understand at all.
Because he had not yet completed his mission, he had not yet become Huizhou’s fourth disciple.
However, making such a request as if he had already become the fourth disciple and was waging internal political strife was the worst decision.
“Hmm.”
“Think about it carefully. “It’s really not as good as this.”
“It’s difficult.”
“what?”
“Remonstrances and all are fine, but basically, I want a dog that definitely follows its owner’s orders. “But you don’t seem suited to it.”
“you!”
-Startle!
Suddenly, Nie Chun made eye contact with Mo Gyeong-un.
I wasn’t conscious of this guy until now, but I think I understand why he felt similar to the Archduke.
Even though he says these arrogant and provocative words, I can’t feel any emotion in his eyes.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him who was confused.
“Now there are only about ten left.”
“······.”
The bushes were rustling and the sight was getting closer.
Soon, Mongmuyak arrives here.
It was a call to make a decision.
‘You’re crazy. it’s crazy. If you kill Meng Muyak, the mission will go wrong and everything will go wrong, so how are you going to take care of it? No matter how much it proves loyalty, this is not it. Before you even start, the enemy is too…!?’
In an instant, many things passed through Nie Chun’s mind.
Proving loyalty.
There must be a way to prove one’s loyalty to this guy.
However, why go to such lengths to kill Meng Wuyak, the son of Vice President…
‘You didn’t trust me in the first place.’
It was like that.
The reason why Mok Gyeong-un gave this order was simple.
It was because of his position.
Due to his position as the third guard of the headquarters, he may have been acquainted with other successors, and was also in a position where he had frequent contact with those in power.
Moreover, to those close to him, he could be considered a member of the vice-hoe movement.
Considering all of this, Mok Gyeong-un was in a position where he could not help but be doubted even if he pledged loyalty.
But what if you kill the vice president’s son here?
‘Regardless of the situation, does this mean that at the point when you lose the Vice President and the Pretender, you become a person you can trust? under!’
If you’re just testing loyalty, there’s no surer way than this.
Because with this, you also become an enemy of the vice president.
‘Ah-oh.’
I understood the intention, but it was extremely embarrassing.
Even if you prove your loyalty at best, if you do something like this, even if you become a disciple of Hui Zhou, you may have no hope as a successor.
I’m doing this because I can really handle it… ah!

‘no.’
This is a proof and a test.
When I thought about it, I felt like I was thinking too heavily about it.
Mo Kyung-un, unless he was a fool, there was no way he wouldn’t know what he was worried about.
That means,
‘okay. ‘It’s just to test your resolve!’
Nie Chun was confident that he had finally figured out Mo Qingyun’s true intentions.
He said that he could be trusted if he confirmed that he was the kind of person who could kill even the son of a Vice President without warning, following orders.
However, this guy probably doesn’t have the intention to actually kill Meng Wuyak right away.
If you do that, you will lose more than you gain.
‘It’s different than this.’
Anyway, all you have to do is show your determination.
This guy will prevent the worst-case scenario.
Still, he has to show that he follows orders, so even though it doesn’t suit his personality, he seems to have to pretend to be moderate with Mongwuyak.
“good. “I will do it.”
Nie Chun said to Mo Kyung-un.
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“I would have said that just saying things is meaningless.”
“I said I would do it. “Stop fussing.”
-Rust!
Soon, Meng Muyak appeared, using his spare clothes to carry dry firewood.
Meng Muyak, who was naturally quiet, looked at the three rabbits lying on the floor in silence.
‘I saved it.’
Although he didn’t show it, he was hungry because he had starved for three days.
Although it is said that Nagi experts can control their appetite to some extent through luck or internal energy, it was bound to become difficult as the fasting state was prolonged without food intake.
Meng Wuyak said to them.
“Who starts the fire?”
Although he asked this question, the person he was looking at was Seopchun.
They told me to smoke after seeing Seopchun.
Hearing his words, Nie Chun approached Meng Wuyak without a word and said,
“Did you manage to get it? great job.”
“······.”
As expected, I couldn’t hear an answer.
Nie Chun felt a little heated by Meng Wuyue’s attitude.
‘Anyway, this kid doesn’t know anyone else… No, that’s good.’
Even if that wasn’t the case, I was just going to attack him, but I felt like if I gently scratched him in this way, it would be an appropriate justification and I would be able to get more emotional.
“Whew. What happened? “Just give me some firewood.”
In this way, Nie Chun held out his hand to Meng Wuyak and tried to take the firewood.
Then, instead of handing over the firewood that Mongmuyak was carrying, he put it down on the ground as if telling him to take it himself.
-thud!
“do it yourself.”
And I tried to turn around.
It was then.
“Pick it up.”
‘!?’
Meng Wuyue, who was turning around, frowned.
Even though she usually behaved coldly, Seopchun ended up complaining.
But now those words are quite thorny.
Did you feel very bad?
Well, since we had been traveling north without rest for three days on an empty stomach, everyone must have been tired and sensitive.
Should I just pick it up?
‘······.’
no.
I thought that might be the case, but I didn’t really want to pick it up.
Because the moment you pick it up, you bend it.
Meng Wuyak sharply responded to this.
“Be sensitive about things like this…”
It was that moment.
-Pot!
Nyeopchun threw a new weapon at the dreamer.
Meng Wuyue was startled by such a surprise attack for a moment and tried to widen the distance, but the capital, which was already filled with Nie Chun’s spirit, partially cut off his left shoulder.
-Wow!
“Tsk! “What are you doing!”
Meng Muyak, who had received a cut on the shoulder, used a step technique and hurriedly threw a kick towards Nie Chun.
Of course, Nie Chun easily avoided this by simply opening his body.
As soon as he dodged it like that, Nie Chun’s left hand strike hit Meng Wuyue’s abdomen.
-Paang!
“Whoosh!”
-Chrrrrrr!
Meng Wuyak’s new brother was pushed back about five steps after being hit by a bullet.
Meng Wuyak’s expression became horribly distorted.
Up until the first day, I thought it was an attack out of anger due to emotional outbursts.
However, the swelling in my abdomen just now went beyond that.
Thanks to you, I suffered internal injuries.
“Cough.”
-Rurg!
Black blood flowed from the corner of the mouth.
‘Let’s give it a try.’
“You bastard!”
-Pot!
Meng Muyak, whose eyes were averted due to internal injuries, immediately hurled a new weapon at Nie Chun.
-Papa papapa pap!
In an instant, the two masters who received the title of Five Tigers clashed about 10 rounds.
Although they did not draw their swords and swords, which were German weapons, they aroused their spirit and aimed at each other’s blood vessels as if they were going to kill them.
As the two people were like rivals in the main building, they knew each other quite well.
Therefore, each move was still close to a victory.
-Papa papapak!
No one was pushed back until almost 30 seconds passed.
However, no matter how equally incompetent the two were, as the confrontation continued, their superiority gradually began to be revealed.
-Wow!
‘Big.’
Little by little, wounds appeared on Meng Wuyak’s body.
On the other hand, Nie Chun has not even once been touched by Mengwu Ruo’s sword blade.
From this, it was possible to guess which of the two people had more sensibility and experience.
Nyeopchun was about half the rank.
-Chuck!
Nie Chun, who had cut part of Meng Wuyue’s back with a brilliant step, glanced at Mu Qingyun.
Meng Wuyak’s clothes were gradually becoming stained with blood.
The longer the fight went on, the more likely he was to win in the end.
‘Did you see it?’
Although they didn’t use swords or swords, they didn’t leave the situation in each other’s hands, so I thought this was enough to prove their resolve.
I wish you would tell me to stop now.
however,
‘what?’
Mok Kyung-un was leaning against a tree, looking at him with his arms crossed.
With a look in his eyes that seemed not to be very desirable.
At this, Nie Chun was dumbfounded.
‘Doing more is dangerous.’
He had already figured out most of the loopholes in Meng Wuyak’s sword attack.
I was confident that I could win within 3 seconds if I put my mind to it.
Of course, the match was a process that led to the death of the opponent.
‘How can I prove it anymore? Now that I’ve confirmed my resolve, tell me to stop.’
Nie Chun gave Mo Gyeong-un an open look.
Isn’t this enough?
But,
-Sigh!
Mok Gyeong-un pretended to slit his own throat.
Seeing this, Nie Chun’s eyes wavered.
‘What, what is it?’
I’m not planning on stopping you. What does that mean now?
Is this guy really asking me to kill Meng Wuyak?
‘It’s going to turn.’
If you kill Mong Wuyak, everything goes wrong.
You may have enemies before you can properly fight for successor, so you may not be able to do anything.
This is not the case. This is Seopchun, who spoke through lip reading.
‘This is enough. It has to stop here. If you do any more, everything…’
It was that moment.
-Wow!
As they were competing for a while, someone intervened between them.
‘!!!!!!!!’
At that moment, Nie Chun’s eyes widened as if torn.
There was something passing by and falling to the floor.
that,
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
It was Meng Muyak’s left arm.
A scream came from the mouth of Meng Wuyak, whose arm was cut off below the elbow.
I could endure just a wound, but the pain of having one of my arms cut off was beyond imagination.
Nie Chun turned his head with a shocked look on his face.
Mok Gyeong-un was standing there with his hands raised in anticipation and his eyes indifferent.
“you······. you really······.”
“Do I sound like a joke?”
“Bu······Buhoeju! “If you really kill the vice-owner’s child, what will happen next…”
“Do you think that pretending to pass the time proves loyalty?”
“······.”
For a moment, Nie Chun was speechless.
It seemed like I had misjudged this guy.
This Mok Gyeong-un was not a person similar to Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang, but was more than him.
Nie Chun was dazed for a moment.
‘······Have I taken the worst gamble of my life?’
This was not the picture he wanted.
Rather than stepping on a limb from the beginning, I just wanted to start with this guy even if I had no foundation.
Mok Gyeong-un smiled at him, who looked embarrassed, and patted his head.
“Don’t use your head. I don’t want a dog that interprets things arbitrarily. “I want a dog that can reliably bite the back of the neck when commanded to do so.”
“you······.”
“Ahhh. “I said words are meaningless, right?”
“······.”
Mo Qingyun snapped his finger and pointed at Mengwu Ruo.
The meaning was very clear.
It meant finishing it.
“Off.”
Meng Muyak steps back in pain while holding on to the cut off arm.
For the first time, Meng Wuyak showed a face full of fear and spoke urgently.
“Dae, why are you doing this?”
Looking at this scene, Nie Chun’s impression became even more distorted.
The water has already spilled.
Even though he had the situation in his hands, he pushed Meng Wuyak almost to his limit, and even cut off his arm even though he didn’t do it himself.
There was already no way to resolve the situation at that point.
‘Was it me who had poor resolve?’
I think I should have already prepared myself for this outcome at the point where I wanted to become the right hand man of the person who had to take the blame.
-closely!
Seopchun, who was biting her lip, soon sighed,
-Sreung!
He took out Gwangmudo, a German weapon.
‘Blame me.’
I apologized to Meng Muyak in my heart.
Even though I had no relationship with a benefactor, I had already crossed the river of no return when I tried to fall under the control of this guy, Mok Gyeong-un.
Nie Chun took a step back and swung his sword towards the neck of Mengwu Ruo, who was trying to run away.
With all his distracting thoughts gone, there was no hesitation in his work.
-Chaang!
It was that moment.
His work, which was about to cut off Meng Muyak’s head in one go, stopped right in front of him.
‘!?’
Nie Chun looked at Mo Qingyun with wide eyes.
Because it was none other than Mok Gyeong-un’s hand that blocked Gwangmu-do’s sword attack.
Nie Chun looked at him with an expression of not understanding.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him.
“You can do it.”
“what?”
“Tsk tsk. “If it had been like this from the beginning, there wouldn’t have been a need to cut off my arm.”
“you you!······.”
-Startle!
Seopchun, who was at a loss for a moment and was about to say something, was unable to continue his words.
The moment I saw that face full of malice with the corners of my mouth reaching up to my ears, I couldn’t let go of my lips as a chill ran up my spine.
