Episode 875
Eyes of the Kings (7)
Hook!
The door to Museongjeon was opened.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was entering through the open door, closed his eyes as he felt a ray of wind accompanied by moderate pressure.
‘heavy.’
It was an energy that put pressure on my whole body.
It wasn’t that ‘someone’ was intentionally emitting air waves to exert pressure, but it was air pressure that Yeon Ho-jeong felt like an illusion after reading the outstanding inaction of that being.
‘It is as powerful as a thousand-year-old rock. ‘It’s like an unwavering Buddha statue.’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the public ambassador.
The comfortable yet strong presence of the Gonggong Ambassador, who was standing with his back to him, stimulated Yeonhojeong’s five senses, as if there was a huge seated Buddha statue behind him.
Wooooow.
A huge dragon that had been sleeping, coiled deep in its chest, opened its eyes.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The yellow dragon energy of Yeonhojeong is released in an instant.
The public ambassador’s eyes widened.
“It’s truly amazing.”
“….”
“Before I ascended to this realm, I thought it was the closest force to the power of Mother Nature. “It was so clear and deep that I wanted to approach and entrust myself to it without even realizing it.”
“….”
“But that wasn’t it. Sobuju, your energy is a powerful divine skill with a clear will.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
The anti-dry fire that hung like a halo behind his back made the public ambassador look extraordinary.
On the other hand, the energy flowing from Yeonhojeong’s entire body rose upward and formed the shape of a golden dragon with its mouth wide open.
The one who had not yet become a Buddha and the one who had only taken on the shell of a human but had already become a dragon were looking at each other in surprise.
How long has it been like that?
Grrrr.
With the sound of burning, Yeonhojeong’s yellow dragon flag disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
“See you, Lord.”
The public ambassador did not dare to accept Yeonhojeong’s greeting lightly.
His appearance, with his head slightly bowed in a half-funeral manner, was truly full of elegance befitting a great general.
“I haven’t officially become a leader yet.”
“You are truly amazing.”
“hmm?”
A public ambassador with a look of confusion in his eyes when he says something out of the blue.
Even those eyes were a refreshing wonder to Yeon Ho-jeong.
“You abandoned a path that could have gone further in order to protect your higher enlightenment.”
There was surprise on the Ambassador’s face.
“Do you see it?”
“I can see it so clearly.”
“Hehe, you are definitely amazing. “I thought I had already completely mastered my powers as time went by, but it showed.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled calmly.
“Is it a half-day ability?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s quite different from Monk Beom-oh’s Prajna ability.”
The public ambassador burst into laughter.
“I learned it to stop the flood that was about to overflow, but it was that guy who learned it authentically. “He may be inferior to me in terms of strength, but if he reaches this level in the future, it will be truly something to see.”
“I will.”
“Just as you are surprised to see me, I too cannot help but be surprised to come into this realm and see you. “Even the immovable heart of the Geumgang River is not in vain.”
“haha.”
“I feel like I want to have this conversation more…”
Ambassador Gong looked at Mo Yong-woo.
Mo Yong-woo, who was blankly watching the public speech, hurriedly lowered his head.
“The Commander-in-Chief of Uijeong-gun meets the Lord.”
The public ambassador smiled bitterly.
“I’m not the leader yet.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“Hehehe.”
Ambassador Gong Gong looked at Yeon Ho-jeong and asked.
“Did you come because of Moyong Daesu?”
“That’s right.”
“How?”
Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Zhuge Mun-ho.
Zhuge Wenho’s eyes shook slightly. He seemed to have guessed why Yeon Ho-jeong brought Mo Yong-woo.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I’ll tell you straight. “I would like to appoint Mo Yong as the next leader candidate.”
“…!”

The public ambassador asked back with a shocked face.
“You mean algebra?”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-woo was equally surprised.
Yeon Ho-jeong has always said that you are the only one who will make him the leader. However, I did not expect this.
“Yeo Yeon-je!”
Even though the position was vacant, I ended up calling it Yeonje. It was a part that showed how surprised Mo Yong-woo was, who was certain about the distinction between construction and construction.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“Please don’t misunderstand. “I’m not talking about confirming that he will be the next leader.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I told you this when I first persuaded the Ambassador. As the first leader, I ask you to become the foundation for the next great leader.”
“It did. “I remember.”
“If you are the ambassador, you will play that role well. “No matter who becomes the candidate, he will lead us well.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Yeon Ho-jeong placed his hand on Mo Yong-woo’s shoulder.
“In the first place, the reason why the Great Master became the first leader was not because of his greed for power, but because he wanted to break the functional limitations of the Murim Alliance and provide support for the next leader. Is that correct?”
“This is absolutely clear.”
“And the next leader.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his gaze to Zhuge Wen-ho.
“You must be young, enterprising, and strong, yet possess the same level of consultation and wisdom as anyone else.”
“….”
“Is that correct?”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“okay. “I wanted a leader like that.”
“That’s right. And the reason we want such a leader is not for our own personal protection.”
“Of course.”
Zhuge Munho spoke as if he had been waiting.
“You never know when a war will break out. Even if the next leader is appointed after the war, that person must be the person you mentioned a moment ago. “Because a leader who is so merciful and gentle is not suitable for a leader before or after a war.”
“That’s right. So, the military officer would not have wanted you to become the leader.”
Mo Yong-woo was once again surprised by the extremely sensitive story.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded calmly.
“That’s right.”
“It is not because I ignore the Ambassador’s abilities, but because the Ambassador is a person who is more benevolent than anyone else. Is that correct?”
“Who in the whole world would distrust the Master’s abilities? As you said, I hoped that the Great Master and Shaolin would become the next leader’s strength.”
The public ambassador smiled.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“As the first leader, you will also play the role of resolving people’s complaints. However, our gaze toward the next leader we want will not be as kind.”
“Of course it is.”
Because they are young.
Among the martial arts groups, the Baekdo martial arts group was so conservative that there was a tendency to believe that young people were inferior to older people in all aspects.
It is not just Baekdo Moorim’s prejudice. Such trends exist in any area of the world.
That was the reason why Yeonhojeong’s reputation did not rise as quickly as expected.
Considering the things he has accomplished, he should have been called the world’s best Jisoo Jisoo, someone no one could match within a year of his departure from the martial arts world.
But the reality was not like that.
Even when he broke through the Mugeuk and killed King Bi, people did not want to acknowledge it transparently. Even though there was clear evidence and testimony from famous people, some people still dismissed it as nothing more than a rumor.
Mo Yong-woo was over thirty. At that age, he could never be considered young.
However, it was difficult to regard it as an age of experience. There would be many people who would feel uncomfortable even if he became the leader at the age of over 40, but if he is as old as Mo Yong-woo, it goes without saying.
“There is only one way to dispel that dissatisfaction.”
There are many ways to quell public discontent, including showing full support from respected experts and groups as well as creating a situation in which everyone can trust.
But none of those methods are certain. There is a high risk of believing that most of the achievements are due to the help of those around us and not due to the leader’s individual ability.
“This is the successor class.”
“It’s a successor class.”
“Rather than having a single master, we have several capable successors so that the leader, the great master, can teach them directly and encourage fair competition.”
The ambassador’s eyes sparkled.
Zhuge Munho didn’t seem to have thought that far either. An expression of surprise was evident in both eyes.
It had to be that way. The Murim League is an alliance of various noble families and countless political factions, so it has a structure that makes it difficult for the leader to gain absolute power.
Of course, there is no successor. When the leader of this generation retires, the traditional method of Baekdo martial arts was to elect the next leader as fairly as possible.
“Anyone is welcome. Of course, there shouldn’t be too many. However, competition among successors will be of great help to each other. Even if you don’t become a leader, you can still achieve a lot.”
“Dangerous.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
“It could easily be the start of a vicious power struggle.”
“Of course I do.”
“But…”
Zhuge Wenhu looked at Ambassador Gong.
“It is not because it is unconventional, but considering the current situation and efficiency, it is a fascinating method.”
Ambassador Gong Gong looked at Mo Yong-woo.
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes were trembling endlessly. However, he did not seem to feel burdened by the public ambassador’s gaze.
The public ambassador smiled.
“So was Yeon Sobu-ju, and so was Moyong Ga-ju, who went to become the backbone of the Gangseo Alliance.”
“…?”
“They spoke highly of Mo Yong Daesu. “Actually, I think you are a talent worthy of high praise, but it seems like the two of you could see something in you that Daengjung couldn’t.”
“I…”
“I don’t see any excitement.”
“yes?”
“I can’t see the excitement on your face. “It’s just full of surprises and worries.”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
Ambassador Gong Gong said while looking at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“I think I understand why you like Mo Yong Daesu.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You often say things that give me goosebumps because I like you.”
“Are you serving a brother-in-law that you don’t even like?”
“It was this party that recklessly suggested we become sworn brothers.”
He just said that, but if his heart wasn’t moved, he would never have become sworn brothers.
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes turned to Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Yeonje.”
“yes.”
“What do you mean by making a place for me…?”
“You can’t become a leader right away.”
“It’s all natural! And I had no intention of becoming a leader.”
Mo Yong-woo, embarrassed, spoke gibberish.
Yeon Ho-jeong held Mo Yong-woo’s shoulders and spoke seriously.
“We can make room for you. However, not everyone who holds the world-famous sword becomes an excellent swordsman.”
“…!”
“I had high expectations from my brother. I was so busy that I forgot about it. But now the time has come for me to take responsibility for my words.”
“Yeonje.”
“Please ‘function’ for the world.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes wavered.
“Of course…”
A smile spread across Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“If you are not capable, you can give up.”
It wasn’t a provocation. It wasn’t even a joke.
Yeon Ho-jeong meant it when she said that it was okay to give up. They made a space for you, but it was up to you from here on out.
Even if I give up and stay in Dae-su’s place, it doesn’t mean our relationship will end.
That is what Yeonhojeong meant.
Mo Yong-woo looks at Yeon Ho-jeong with complicated feelings.
Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly looking at the two people, spoke.
“Speaking of which, should we call everyone in?”
“yes?”
“They all have an eccentric temperament, but thanks to their extreme enlightenment, Seongcheon’s masters have amazing insight.”
The public ambassador smiled.
“I’m thinking of tying them up here and calling them in to see what Grand Master Moyong looks like.”
