Episode 791
Hegemony of the Black Island (2)
“Have you left the palace?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The emperor, who was looking at Yan Wei, lifted the bottle on the table.
The sound of sloshing liquid was very clear.
“Take a drink.”
Yeonwi carefully lifted the glass.
Clear liquid filled the glass with a crackling sound.
said the emperor.
“He was the one I cherished among the busy people of Shandong. The taste and aroma are excellent. Have you ever drank it?”
“I’ve had it once before.”
“Did it fit your mouth?”
“It was too much alcohol for a small person to drink.”
The emperor chuckled.
The emperor, who had filled his own glass with alcohol, raised his glass.
“You too.”
“I am so sorry.”
Two people emptied their glasses.
This was not a royal palace, but the residence of the royal family. In the middle of the night, the emperor once again came to Yan Wei’s residence accompanied by only a minimal number of people.
“Have you ever gotten tired of drinking?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I probably wouldn’t drink it that often in the first place.”
“That’s right.”
“I got sick of it over and over again. Alcohol is a monster. If you drink too much, you lose your senses and feel sick. Nevertheless, at night I find myself looking for alcohol again. “The addictiveness is truly amazing.”
It’s not a burden, it’s me. As he sat alone with his superiors, the emperor laid down half of his weight as emperor.
“Still, I got sick of it many times. Do you know why?”
“I do not know.”
“It’s because I didn’t have anyone to get drunk with.”
The emperor shook his head.
“The taste of getting drunk only comes when you have someone with you. The drunkenness of the concubines fawning over masks was not genuine. It had to be that way. Even if the emperor is ruined, his life is in danger if he gets out of sight. Even if he drinks alcohol, will he get drunk?”
“….”
“I made a promise to you when you entered through the gates of the royal palace, annihilated all of the Shinhwa cultists, and led the battle here to victory. “I will never drink alcohol again unless I am with like-minded people.”
It was a euphemism for being together as like-minded people.
Yeonwi bowed his head.
“I am so sorry.”
“If you feel burdened, let me know at any time.”
“Is that possible?”
“I’m serious.”
Yan Wei wordlessly poured alcohol into the emperor’s cup.
The Emperor opened his mouth as he watched the wine slowly filling his glass.
“Weren’t you curious?”
“yes?”
“No matter how much you have contributed, why do you care so much about someone who is just a nobody? Have you ever wondered?”
To be honest, I was curious about the date. And he expressed his curiosity as it was.
“There are many people who have made greater contributions than small people. “It is true that it is an honor that His Majesty treasures a small person like no other, but I was curious about what he saw in me.”
The emperor grinned.
“It’s because of the way you look now.”
“yes?”
“The honesty to say that you are curious about what you are curious about, and the courage to say that what is incorrect is wrong.”
“….”
“There is no one like that around me.”
An awkwardness appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
“A small person is just….”
“Just accept it as it is. “I do that too.”
“….”
After emptying his cup, the emperor looked out the window.
The imperial palace in darkness. The bright lanterns hung throughout the building were very beautiful.
“What do you think? Marriage with Yang Cheon.”
“Honestly…”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“I do not know.”
“I do not know?”
“That’s right.”
“Hehe, you must have had a lot of conversations with your son?”
Yeonwi said with a smile.
“As you can see, Your Majesty, my son lacks many things.”
“No one lacks anything.”

“However, his insight into the future, resourcefulness, and insight into the future far surpass his father.”
“Hoo.”
“He was an outstanding child, but he was always worried. “Because he was so different from the small people, I had trouble sleeping every time I sent him to Gangho.”
“I guess so.”
“But now I recognize my son for who he is and his abilities.”
“It couldn’t have been easy.”
“To my shame, it wasn’t easy. However, after admitting it, I felt at ease. All you have to do is trust me, but I was so upset because I couldn’t do that simple thing.”
Yeonwi smiled sheepishly.
“Of course, I can’t let go of my worries at all. “It’s because of his personality.”
“…I see.”
“So I don’t even know. “Maybe there’s something more to it that I’m not talking about, but I can’t figure out what it is.”
The emperor’s eyes lit up.
“Is there a different way to aim?”
“It’s not because he’s my son, he’s such a smart kid. Even when handling a single task, we often approach it from multiple perspectives to obtain double and triple benefits. “I think it will be similar this time too.”
“That is also interesting information. “He’s multi-faceted…”
“There’s no way my son doesn’t know how dangerous Yang Cheon is. In fact, Hojeong was the person who clashed with Yang Cheon the most in the martial arts of the time. “I have no doubt that they will handle it even more carefully this time.”
“…I think you might like it.”
“yes?”
The emperor chuckled and filled his cup.
“I’m talking about Yangcheon. I think the absolute leader of the martial arts world would look at your son and choose one of the two. Either throw it away or keep it for yourself.”
“….”
“If a man as great as Yang Cheon didn’t throw away your son, it would mean that he cares for your son that much.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“I heard they are tempting you, asking if you want to come to Heukdo.”
“I guess the same goes for me. “Actually, I was like that too.”
“haha.”
Yeonwi just laughed. There was nothing else to say.
The emperor, with his back buried in a chair, looked up at the ceiling and muttered.
“Yangcheon… It’s Yangcheon…”
Yeonwi asked carefully.
“Is there anything else that’s bothering you?”
“Rather than being caught…”
The Emperor tilted his head.
“I just heard you say something and an idea occurred to me.”
“yes?”
“You won’t be able to ignore Yang Cheon’s insight. of course. “The military force is great, but uniting the fierce Black Swordsmen into one is impossible without excellent resourcefulness and insight.”
“Even small people think so.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll be paying even more attention to your son.”
“….”
The emperor’s eyes deepened.
“…Well, no matter what, I wouldn’t go that far.”
“…?”
Yan Wei wondered what the emperor was thinking.
But I didn’t bother to ask. I didn’t think it would be good to know on my own, and there was no need to go out of my way to find out what was not being said.
said the emperor.
“What if?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Really, what are you going to do if your son becomes a black man?”
Yeonwi smiled.
“If he was proud of himself, would he be able to tell his grown son to do this or that?”
“Huh….”
“The small man believes in his son. “If Gojeong declares himself to be a black man, there must be a good reason.”
The emperor stuck his tongue out.
“It is truly absolute faith.”
“As a child, he proved himself to his parents. Still, I can’t help but be worried, but now I have no choice but to wait and see, right?”
“And what if your family gets stoned?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay for Your Majesty to protect you at that time?”
“what? “Hehehehe!”
The emperor laughed loudly.
“People may be different, but in the end, the blood flowing through their veins is the same. “I don’t know how you can say the same thing as your son.”
“Is that so.”
The emperor, who was bursting out laughing, looked out the window again.
‘Black Dora.’
I looked up and looked at the sky, and there were a lot of stars.
A meaningful light appeared in the emperor’s eyes.
‘If he really pushed me the way I thought… things would have been quite interesting.’
* * *
The group that departed from the imperial palace reached Hanam in three days.
“It’s snow.”
By the time I left, it had started to snow, but as I got closer to Hanam, the snow got heavier.
It was the beginning of full-fledged winter. Normally, it should have snowed a long time ago, but it seemed particularly late this year.
“Whoa.”
Steam came out in a light breeze, like smoking a cigarette.
Kang Ryang said.
“Wouldn’t it be better to get over that hill today? “I think it will be difficult to get over it tomorrow.”
Even Kang Rang, who had the lowest level of martial arts skills among the group, was a supreme expert. It wouldn’t be that difficult to go over the snowy hill.
However, there is no need to expend more effort on your way.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Let’s do as you say.”
Paaang!
The group that was running moderately increased their speed.
Jinyang muttered while looking at the back of Yeonhojeong, who was in the lead.
“That’s a really fascinating new law.”
Thousands of operating expenses.
It was the culmination of the love story, and it was a divine law that exuded the image of a gentleman as upright as a bamboo.
It had happened before, but once again he felt that Yeonhojeong’s new law did not suit him. Regardless of his personality, he was a very dynamic martial artist, so I thought his new method would be spectacular.
‘Come to think of it.’
Mukbi and Kangryang also had great divine skills.
For Mukbi, an archer, Shinbeop was the most important martial art. Her new method of constantly moving and shooting was no different from Yeonhojeong’s, even though it did not reach the ultimate level.
The same goes for Kangryang. The Gwiyeongsinbo of Gwicheolgeommun, the most prestigious sword in the black sword, combines with the subversive swordsmanship to create an absolute killing method. There are not many Shinshin techniques in the Black Island that are comparable to Gwiyeongsinbo.
‘Hmm.’
The reason why Jinyang was particularly concerned about the three people’s martial arts was because of his own martial arts skills.
His psychiatry skills were not inferior to others. He was even called a brown bear, but despite his large size, he moved more flexibly than most women.
But…
“It’s getting too dark. “I’d better take a break.”
As soon as he crossed the hill, Yeon Ho-jeong cleared away the accumulated snow and broke tree branches.
Pusssss.
Mukbi’s skill in drying moist tree branches by applying heat to them and then immediately starting a bonfire was amazing.
The familiarity was familiar, but the ability to control internal energy was so masterful that it aroused admiration in the viewer. Jinyang, a transcendent expert, saw it in his eyes.
Mukbi, who created two hot bonfires in an instant, suddenly felt eyes looking at him and turned his head.
“why?”
“to? “Oh no.”
Mukbi tilted his head.
“Is there something wrong?”
Jinyang quenched his appetite.
“I thought everyone was good.”
Kang-ryang chuckled.
“Jin-hyung, your skills never go away, right? “What do you mean, you’re stronger than me?”
The two had become quite close after hanging out together for a while.
Jinyang shook his head.
“I might be on top if we were to die, but I don’t think I have a solid foundation.”
“Hoo?”
“I guess I have to try.”
It was a serious and honest remark, unlike anything he had shown before. Even Mo Fei looked at Jinyang as if it was something new.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“Then, shall we try to fill in what’s missing?”
“…huh? “You mean now?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to improve your skills? why? “Are you tired?”
“Uh… it’s not like that.”
“Shouldn’t we make some preparations? This trip to Mukryongbu is different from before. If Manager Yang plans to kill us, he should at least escape alive. is not it?”
Jinyang’s eyes grew so big that they seemed like they would pop out.
Yeon Ho-jeong slowly turned his wrist. The crunching sound was very bloody.
“While we have time, let’s get to the bottom of your martial arts skills.”
