Episode 231
partnership
The cloud dragon in Jeong Gwang’s hand transformed into a golden dragon.
The golden dragon occupied all directions at an astonishing speed.
Then it turned into a golden sphere and enveloped Jeong Gwang’s body.
The illusion created in this way collided with the tightening sword energy of Namgung Hak.
It was a clash between a golden sphere and a white sphere.
Quack!
“Cough.”
Drops of blood came out from Jeong Gwang’s mouth.
He suffered a small internal injury after being pushed out of the cave.
Although he had obviously suffered a loss, his blood-stained lips were curved.
‘I pushed it out a little bit, so it worked out cheaply.’
As if denying that thought, the white sphere that had been pushed out tightened again.
But the concentrate was faster.
He took a step forward and threw down the golden dragon.
Seueuugh-
The golden dragon flew sharply and pierced the white sphere.
Although it lacks internal strength compared to Namgunghak, it is possible because the noodles are pierced with dots.
Jeonggwang continued forward and moved the golden dragon embedded in the sphere.
Seueueuup- clatter-
Pull it with the heap (吸) and turn it using the wa (渦) method.
The golden dragon spun vigorously with part of the sphere in its mouth.
QUIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
With an ear-piercing noise, the part blocking the front was torn apart.
“… … !”
Namgunghak’s surprised eyes could be seen through the hole.
It was very nice to see, but do you have time to appreciate it?
Before I knew it, the white sphere was approaching very close by.
“bout!”
Jeong Gwang protected himself with self-defense skills and jumped through the narrow hole.
The uniform was torn in several places, but there was no time to worry about it.
A white sphere was attacking me from behind.
‘Response is fast.’
I wanted to jump right in and hit Namgunghak, but it was already too late.
He turned around and hit the golden dragon vertically.
Kwazijic!
The golden dragon’s blade penetrated a foot into the white wall and stopped.
The wall clamped down on the golden dragon and tried to surround Jeonggwang again.
Jeong Gwang did not stay still.
“under!”
Geumryong vomited out all the energy he had stored inside his sword body.
The internal energy exploded with the help of a bullet caused a crack in the white wall.
Damn it –
Then the teeth of the wall holding the golden dragon parted.
“profit!”
When I hit the gold dragon with force, the white wall collapsed.
Pagagak-
I thought this was enough.
The white energy that surrounded the left and right transformed into countless swords.
Jeong Gwang swung the golden dragon and sprayed out numerous poisonous plants.
Pak! pop!
Through change after change, the number of white swords was reduced.
My energy was being consumed at a rapid rate.
Jeong Gwang wriggled his eyebrows and changed his look.
Buuuung-
Smooth movement, not the ever-changing sword grass.
thud!
The moment I collided with the fiercely fired white sword, I twisted my wrist.
The golden dragon slightly turned the direction of the white sword and threw it in the other direction.
Whirling-
It was the same with other things.
The golden dragon, embracing the martial arts of Yu, gently wrapped the white swords.
The small circles continued to form a large circle.
The white swords caught there lost their will and were just dragged around.
and.
“Ha!”
Let’s increase our internal strength and swing the golden dragon with a strong technique.

Kwaaaaang-
Namgunghak’s sword energy was scattered to pieces with a huge explosion.
“Huh. Huh.”
Jeong Gwang tried to calm his heavy breathing and turned the new model around.
Instead of his original arrogant expression, Namgung Hak appeared with a shocked face.
“… … .”
The corners of Jeong Gwang’s mouth rose.
In that state, I took a step towards him.
thud.
Another step again.
thud!
The footprints got deeper.
The more he walked, the stronger the pressure of Namgunghak’s energy tightened.
‘Tsk.’
Jeong Gwang’s complexion turned white.
But the smile was still there.
In the end, Jeong Gwang, who had reached half the distance with a single stroke, grabbed the cloud dragon and captured it.
It was impossible to approach any further.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“… … .”
Namgunghak just watched in silence and then relaxed.
Jeong Gwang draped the cloud dragon, whose golden luster had disappeared, on his shoulder.
In my mind, I wanted to beat him right away, but shouldn’t I have time to replenish my strength and energy?
Not Namgoonghak, but Jeong Gwangi.
Well, to get up to speed, I’ll do some reviews as well.
“You are a craftsman who only dug one well, a very heavy one.”
“… … .”
“But rather than wielding such enormous sword energy by attacking the air, isn’t it easier to just store it in your sword and swing it around with a little movement?”
Jeong Gwang laughed heartily and then tilted his head.
“Well, it was cool, though.”
Only then did Namgoonghak open his mouth.
“It’s cool, but there’s nothing like it in a one-on-one fight.”
“I just woke up. Shall we check again?”
“That’s absurd.”
Namgoonghak’s expression returned to its original arrogance.
“I still have some spare time, but aren’t you in a situation where your strength is strained?”
“this. “I got caught.”
“but… … .”
Namgunghak’s forehead was wrinkled.
“… … I think you will recover quickly. Even while fighting.”
Jeong Gwang chuckled.
“Now you’ve been upgraded from guy to you.”
“You deserve it.”
“Then let’s take a break and do it again. “Even Lord Taesang had some of his energy and blood pressure blocked.”
“… … .”
Namgunghak glared at Jeong Gwang and shook his head.
“How arrogant.”
The words were the same, but the heart was a little different.
As I said before, Jeong Gwang was a military man who deserved it.
‘True Jade Dragon, True Jade Dragon, indeed.’
Let’s just say that his inaction is ridiculous considering his age.
Jeong Gwang’s martial arts skills were surprising in another sense.
‘Have you ever seen a drone with such balance?’
Even when I tried to remember, no one in particular came to mind.
At least the Buddha of Shaolin was close, and didn’t he also use martial arts that focused on strength?
‘There are countless groups in the world, but it is impossible to cover them all. Martial arts of any sect or family have no choice but to be like that… … .’
Of course, those who learned the martial arts also do the same.
The goal is to learn martial arts that focus on one or two, or at most three or four, skills.
Namgunghak was unable to calm the rising doubts.
“Looking at the form you solved, it looks like you have learned many things, not just Kunlun’s martial arts… … Is that correct?”
“yes. “Can I have breakfast?”
“… … Just a little later. How did you learn so many things without any deviation?”
“It’s because I worked hard.”
“… … .”
“It’s true.”
Namgoonghak’s voice became heavier.
“That’s nonsense. In order to understand and expand upon numerous groups, it is not only a matter of qualifications, but also requires a tremendous amount of time. So everyone should focus on just a few things and invest their time. To deepen and become stronger faster.”
“Lord Taesangga said the same thing, right? “Focus on heavy.”
“Yes.”
“Then it’s fast at first, but eventually it gets slower.”
“How do you know that?”
“I know because I experienced it.”
“That’s nonsense.”
“I can do it.”
“… … .”
Namgung-hak glared at Jeong-gwang and spoke as if he was chewing.
“You may have been a little faster, but if you did it, there’s no way I couldn’t do it.”
Jeong Gwang opened his mouth wide.
“… … “Are you a little fast?”
“okay.”
Namgunghak turned around and gave a congratulatory order.
“Come back tomorrow. “Until then, please post other things as well.”
“No, that aside, my soldiers… … .”
“You can look for it starting tomorrow. “I will keep my promise, so you don’t have to worry.”
“still… … .”
“I’ll give you the price you deserve. “Tell me tomorrow.”
“Please go in carefully.”
“… … .”
Namgunghak really went into his own residence.
Jeong Gwang nodded with a satisfied face and then tilted his head.
‘What kind of guy has so much confidence?’
Although I have learned martial arts that are biased towards heavy skills, I know that I am not illiterate in other techniques.
In order to reach that level, you must have understood a certain level of logic.
But you’re going to pull it all together in one day?
As much as the weight training that I have devoted my entire life to learning?
‘It’s good to get a feel for it and lay a foundation.’
Whether it happens or not is none of your business.
I looked forward to tomorrow.
‘There is no other way, so let’s keep an eye on Namgunghwain at night.’
Jeong Gwang was trying to organize his thoughts when his eyes fell on Nam Gung-yeon.
‘I think he’s quite smart… … .’
My status also matches.
I found the right person to take care of part of the painting I was drawing.
‘If you do this, you have a good personality.’
It might be better than this worn out tooth.
“Nangung Soje, let’s go.”
Namgung-yeon, who was looking at Jeong-gwang with a surprised face, asked in surprise.
“Uh, where do you mean?”
“Our accommodation.”
“Why are you there… … ?”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“I have someone to introduce you to.”
* * *
Jeong Gwang changed out of his torn uniform and spoke seriously.
“Namgung Soje. This is my priest Baek Seung-moo. “He is a minor hero who criticizes Kang-ho under the nickname ‘Golden Swordsmen Association.’”
“… … .”
“Priests. this person is… … .”
I was about to introduce Namgoongyeon to Baek Seungmu, who had a red face, but Namgoongyeon, who was involved, cut me off.
“Jinokryong. “What are you doing now?”
“Introduction.”
“… … So, that’s why. if?”
“As expected, you are smart.”
As Jeong Gwang admired, Nam Gung Yeon’s face also turned red.
“B-but I don’t have time for that. You have to take your time and think about this slowly… … .”
“Time is precious to everyone. And whether you think slowly or quickly, honestly, the final decision tends to go the way you first thought.”
Namgung Yeon’s eyes wavered back and forth.
But even for a moment.
She glanced at Baek Seung-moo and declined with a stern expression.
“I’m sorry, but there is no time for that. “My family’s work is more important to me.”
“It’s a family affair.”
“… … yes?”
Unlike Namgoongyeon, whose eyes were wide open, Jeonggwang was calm.
“Do you have any intention in the commercial world? “He’s in charge of that part of the family.”
“Well, how do you do that?”
Jeong Gwang pointed to the ink on her hand.
“… … Couldn’t it be studying writing?”
“Then you should wash your hands right away. “What do you think of the words of the sage, and what about your mind if you maintain a clean body?”
“… … “You are truly amazing.”
Namgoongyeon sighed softly.
“Whew. But why are you doing this to me? “He is still young and does not hold an important position.”
“You are humble.”
“yes?”
“The head of the family, Taesang, who calls me a bastard, cherishes me. “You’re saying that because you have the ability to do that.”
“… … .”
Namgoongyeon could neither confirm nor deny.
If you say yes, it’s like putting gold on your own face, but if you say no, isn’t it like saying that Namgung-hak’s perspective is wrong?
Jeong Gwang continued speaking with a look on his face.
“Enough with the introduction. “We talk about work.”
“which… … ?”
“I want to buy salt and tea. “A few things like inkstone, ink, and paper.”
When Jeong Gwang raised the topic, Nam Gung-yeon furrowed his brows.
“Can’t you just buy it from any merchant?”
“It’s a bit big. “I don’t plan on finishing it once or twice.”
“How much do you need?”
“Cheonghae, chief, enough to solve in Yunnan?”
“… … !”
“why? it can not?”
Namgoongyeon, who had a blank expression on his face, shook his head.
“Aside from everything else. Let me start with salt. Salt is monopolized by the government. “You know that not everyone can buy that, right?”
“sure. “Only merchants with a seal issued by the government can buy it.”
“you’re right. “There are many merchants with a reputation for profit, but they do not have a monopoly.”
“So?”
“Cheonghae and Seojang are the responsibility of the Jinsang (晋商) of Shanxi Province (山西省). Yunnan is controlled by the Ancestors of Guangdong Province. “It is a situation where we cannot compete on price for us to get involved.”
Jeong Gwang turned his gaze to Baek Seung-mu.
“Priests. “What is most important when it comes to meeting price?”
Seungmoo Baek answered right away.
“It’s the transportation fee… … ah!”
“I understand?”
“That’s right, death penalty.”
“As expected of a priest. “Do your best.”
As Baek Seung-moo nodded with a solemn expression, Namgung-yeon asked curiously.
“Jin Yuryong, what do you mean?”
“There are ways to reduce transportation costs.”
“It’s impossible. There are numerous land routes, but Daedongso… … .”
“It’s not by land.”
“… … yes?”
“Wouldn’t we be able to sail a lot faster if we take the Yangtze River?”
“… … That’s what you said. However, the toll fee for 18 Yangtze River waterways is so high that it is meaningless.”
Jeong Gwang spoke loudly as if he were a beast king.
“I’ll lower that significantly.”
“… … yes?”
“First, let’s make the top together. “Should we call it a partnership?”
“… … !”
“In the Namgung family… … No, who wants it? Just let Namgung Sojeo manage it. Load and transport items. Oh, and sales too.”
“… … .”
“I will provide the investment money and only keep a small amount of equity. how is it?”
“… … .”
Nam Gung-yeon’s eyes sank deeply.
She stared at Jeonggwang with those eyes.
“… … I don’t think you’re lying. “It seems like you have already prepared a way to do that.”
“Sure.”
A force arose in Namgoongyeon’s body.
It belonged to a merchant, not an unmanned person.
“I would like to hear more details. “Is it worth it for us to take on all that work and move on?”
“I want to make a deal with Namgung Soje, excluding the Namgung family.”
“Thank you for your words, but this is not good for either of us. “It’s easier for me to move if my family is behind me, and if I make a mistake, shouldn’t Jinokryong have someone to blame?”
A smile bloomed on Jeong Gwang’s face.
‘You chose well.’
Namgoong Yeon was really quite good.
“Then, the Namgung family will also participate to some extent. However, not with the power of the family head, but with the power of the Taesang family head.”
Jeong Gwang explained the whole story.
What happened to the Yangtze River Waterway Federation and what kind of winds of change will blow?
Namgung-yeon, who was astonished but still maintaining his balance, made a suggestion with his fighting spirit burning.
“Then, shall we roughly discuss the size of the investment and distribution of profits?”
Jeong Gwang willingly accepted.
Pulling Seungmoo Baek.
“Priests. “You said you would do well earlier, right?”
“… … yes?”
Jeong Gwang firmly tapped Baek Seungmu’s shoulder.
“Speak carefully. very well.”
