Part 2 Episode 9
The first step in making a grand plan
We drank and drank without much conversation.
So much so that Ho-gwang, who is hiding from the cold wind on the roof of a guest house, is inwardly angry.
‘Should I finish it soon?’
As the night deepened, Jeong Gwang muttered in a slurred, drunken tone.
“Ugh. “I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
Mo Yong Sang-hyeon reprimanded him in a worried tone.
“Then why did you drink so much?”
“Did I drink it? “The alcohol consumed me.”
“Huh. I admit that sober drinking is a lot, but keep it to a certain extent. “If this continues, I will get sick.”
“I think it’s already grown. right. Even if it’s just an elixir to sober up… … .”
“… … There isn’t any, so go up and rest. “I will support you.”
The people at the top have long since dispersed to their respective rooms.
Zhao and Hye-jin, who remained until the end, stopped Mo Yong-sang-hyeon and brought Jeong Gwang to his feet.
“Grand Duke. “We will take care of your sobriety.”
“Thank you, I enjoyed it. Please take care of yourself tomorrow as well.”
“… … “I understand, Bulchwigeom.”
Mo Yong Sang-hyeon shook his head and disappeared into his room.
Zhao and Hyejin helped Zheng Guang and took him to his room.
As soon as Jeong Gwang entered the room, he gave instructions in a clear tone.
“Lord Hoga has gone. “Zhao, use the main instant attack to drive away the drunkenness.”
Zhao, who drank the least but had the reddest face, lowered his head.
“Yes, sobriety.”
“Hyejin Sojeo, that is… … ah. You don’t know and you don’t need it. “Just get some rest.”
Hyejin, who drank the most but was the only one with a healthy complexion, looked embarrassed.
“I understand, Danju.”
There is a good reason for everything Jeonggwang does.
The two followed instructions without question.
Jeong Gwang walked and chanted the main technique.
When he reached Mo Yong Sang-hyeon’s room, the poison that had built up in his body had completely disappeared.
“Grand Duke, may I come in?”
Jeong Gwang opened the door without even hearing an answer.
Mo Yong Sang-hyeon, who was sitting neatly on a chair, greeted him calmly.
“You came.”
“You’re not surprised.”
“I thought it would be like this.”
“me too.”
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
“You’ve worked hard to distract the attention of Lord Hu. Please sit comfortably.”
As Jeong Gwang sat across from him, Mo Yong Sang Hyeon’s eyes lit up.
“I guess the fact that Danju came to see me means that he has left. Is that correct?”
“yes.”
“I have a lot of questions. “Can I ask you a few questions?”
Even during a long drinking party, it was Mo Yong Sang-hyeon who waited silently without asking.
When the opportunity came, I ended up showing my impatience.
“Please speak.”
As soon as Jeong Gwang agreed, his mouth opened.
“It seems like the strangely strong leader of the magic bandit group and Hujiazhu are related in some way. “I want to hear Danju’s opinion.”
“That is a possibility.”
“Hmm.”
“Were you disappointed because it was so vague?”
Mo Yong Sang-hyeon waved his hand with a straight face.
“It could be so. “If I had said it with confidence, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
“That’s it. What’s next?”
“I want to know why the Hu family and other noble families are putting pressure on the magic bandits.”
“Maybe he’s trying something new like he said.”
Jeong Gwang paused for a moment and then continued.
“It could be an attempt to create confusion and shake the balance.”
“… … !”
The focal point of Liaoning Province is Moyongse.
When Mo Yong-se saw the Prince’s face harden, Jeong Gwang comforted him.
“Do not worry too much. “This isn’t certain either.”
“… … no. “It’s a valid inference.”
If the nobles really had other intentions, it was natural for them to attack Moyong Sanghyeon, who might lead the Moyong family in the future.
‘If I die from the devil, my family’s reputation will fall to the ground.’
The grand duke of the Moyong family is killed by a magic bandit who is not even a martial arts expert?
Rather than holding accountable the nobles who provoked the magic bandits, the Moyong family should be busy covering up the fact.

‘They could use me as a hostage to plan something else.’
However, there was a gap in Jeong Gwang’s guess.
Mo Yong Sang-hyeon listed the questions he felt.
“There are no secrets in the world. Due to the pressure from the nobles, magic bandits run rampant. We will all know that someday. “Then where will people’s resentment go?”
“People from noble families.”
“That’s right. “I don’t think they would shake hands like that.”
“no. “You have to take a long look.”
When Mo Yong Sang-hyeon did not understand, Jeong Gwang explained step by step as if teaching a child.
“What if we defeat all the magic bandits? Except for the few who suffered damage, everyone will be happy and express their gratitude to the nobles, right?”
“It is impossible to eliminate all the magic bandits. Even if we do that, new magical enemies will continue to flow in, so what’s the use?”
“There’s no need to make it last forever.”
“I don’t understand what it means. Sorry for the details… … .”
Jeong Gwang raised his hand to stop Mo Yong Sang Hyeon from speaking.
“You have no sense of humor.”
“… … “Did you just say it was mourning clothes?”
“I’ve told you so much, now it’s my turn.”
“… … Phew. “Please tell me.”
Jeong Gwang asked again.
“If you compare the power of the Moyong family and the power of the noble family, which one is stronger?”
Mo Yong Sang-hyeon, who was taken aback by the unexpected question, straightened his back and answered.
“The main family is strong. “I don’t know what Danju thinks, but it’s more than that.”
“Are you speaking objectively?”
“Other than that, of course.”
“okay. “Okay then.”
“Everyone, sober!”
When Jeong-gwang stood up, Mo Yong-sang-hyeon reached out his hand to grab him but stopped.
‘He who cannot be forced. You have to be patient and wait.’
Forcefully shaking off his regret, he stood up and politely waved his hand.
“Thank you for reminding me.”
“With something like that.”
“… … .”
Jeong Gwang, who returned the favor with both hands together and left the room, called Hye Jin and went to Zhao.
Zhao, who had completely driven away his drunkenness with a punch, pulled out his chair and greeted them.
“Danju, are you here?”
“thank you. “You two, please sit down.”
Jeong Gwang told them the conversation he had with Mo Yong Sang-hyeon.
They also felt similar doubts as Mo Yong-Sang-hyeon.
“What do you mean, there’s no need to keep the magic spell gone forever?”
“Danju, I don’t understand either.”
Jeong Gwang gave them a brief explanation.
“It means you just have to stop it for a while. “The nobles are probably trying to show people the results by using a different method from the way the Mo Yong family managed Liaoning Province.”
It would be to create at least a small justification to present to the people of Liaoning Province.
It was not a bad move since it would be of some help in controlling public sentiment after turning the game around.
Hyejin, who was listening quietly, had a strange look in her eyes.
“Are you saying that the nobles are trying to place Mo Yong-se on top?”
“Either trying to get rid of the Moyong family, or trying to change the head of the Moyong family. “It has to be one of two things.”
Since Moyongsanghyeon said that the Moyong family was stronger than the noble families, it was highly likely that it was the latter.
Hyejin thought for a moment and opened her mouth with an understanding expression.
“I now understand that there is no need to get rid of magic forever. After you achieve your goal, you can appease them the old fashioned way. “The grassroots will be dissatisfied for a while, but it will be diluted over time.”
“uh? haha.”
Jeong Gwang laughed loudly and clapped his hands.
“It hasn’t been long since you came down from the mountain, but you have become a great ordinary person. No, I guess you’re always quick-witted in this shady way.”
“… … .”
I call this a compliment.
When Hyejin looked embarrassed, Zhao, who had been laughing quietly, changed his expression and asked.
“Sobriety. Are you planning on interfering with the affairs of the Mo Yong family?”
“no. It doesn’t matter whether they fight among themselves or not. “We just have to do our job.”
Zhao shook his head.
“Well thought out. “You went through so much trouble because of Simajeon, but now you should rest well.”
“Yes. “I will rest well, so take care of yourself.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
Jeong Gwang said that Ho Gwang would come to visit as the night got deeper.
Zhao understood Zheng Guang’s intention.
“What you’re saying is, let’s see if it really comes or not.”
No, Zhao didn’t know much about Concentration yet.
“If he wants to come, don’t let him come.”
“yes?”
“why?”
Zhao asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“Danju, do you think I have the power to do that?”
Jeong Gwang was also taken aback.
“Who wants to stop it from the front? I heard that he was a great person who praised him highly? He just needs to learn from there and just do what he has done so far.”
“… … .”
Zhao, who had been silent, answered with a determined face.
“Danju said he could do it, so he must be able to do it. “I’ll be back.”
“If you have any plausible information, take it.”
“All right.”
“While you’re gone, please bring some wealth with you.”
“… … “Of course.”
Zhao came out of the guest room and visited the Jinzhou family’s manor.
It was easy to find.
It was the place with the tallest pavilion in the vicinity.
‘There you are.’
It wasn’t close.
I discovered that it was a fairly large manor, although it could not be compared to the Seven Great Families.
As soon as Zhao crossed the wall, he frowned.
‘There are too many bonfires.’
It may have been to prevent enemy invasion, but the cold weather also seemed to play a role.
‘Where is it?’
Ho Gwang was the head of the family.
Zhao had his eyes set on the most ornate pavilion in the manor.
‘I guess I’ll have to look from there.’
Zhao’s stealth and stealth skills were recognized by Jeong Gwang.
Even Hanro, a great expert, was not discovered for a while, but Ho Gwang and his subordinates were weaker than him.
He went up to the roof, mocking the attention of those who stood in the domain.
As I unfolded the spirit’s secret technique and penetrated the ceiling of the room, I saw Ho-gwang yelling at a slim middle-aged man.
“You still haven’t figured it out!”
“S-sorry. Even those who are well-versed in rumors say that they have never heard of an organization called Cheonha Cruise. I spoke of their appearance and weapons, but I had never heard of them either… … .”
“stop! Who is the blood sword guy? Where is he and what is he doing! “Mo Yong Sang-hyeon showed up just fine!”
“Yes, we have released people, so news will come soon.”
“soon?”
“I’m sorry, matriarch!”
As the middle-aged man fell to the floor and hit his head, Ho Gwang’s expression softened.
“done. stand up.”
The middle-aged man stood up, looking at me.
Ho Gwang glared at him and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. “Are the kids ready?”
“I’m done.”
“hmm. “Go out and wait.”
“Yes, matriarch. But… … .”
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and continued speaking.
“Are you planning to strike the Archduke and his minions?”
Ho Gwang answered with a slightly stiff face.
“He must have noticed something. We can’t let it go like this. but… … .”
A murderous look appeared in Ho Gwang’s eyes and then faded away.
“I don’t want to be the first to step forward and get killed for no reason. I will move based on the situation. “Know that and pay attention to your children as well.”
“… … .”
“What are you doing? “I’m not leaving quickly.”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and pleaded in a heavy voice.
“house owner. Please reconsider one more time. “Many people will die.”
“That’s something that can’t be helped. “With their blood as a rock, our family will rise higher.”
“father. that… … .”
“Distinguish between public and private matters! “Are you disobeying my orders now?”
“… … sorry.”
The middle-aged man bowed deeply and went out.
Ho-gwang looked at his back with a disapproving look and muttered softly.
“I’m doing this for my son, but you’re just spouting nonsense.”
Contrary to his words, his eyes were burning with greed.
“We must restore our past glory. “Starting right now.”
When Hu Guang disappeared, Zhao withdrew his secret energy and landed on the floor.
‘Are they trying to stab the Mo Yong family in the back?’
I confirmed the facts.
‘But I don’t know how to stop them.’
Looking through the window, I saw Ho Gwang leaving with his family.
‘Think about it, Zhao. think.’
Even while he was thinking about it, he searched the room.
It was to protect Jeong Gwang’s second and third names.
‘There is none.’
Soon, Zhao stopped moving.
‘You seem like a suspicious old man. I hid my documents and property somewhere else.’
Zhao’s thoughts turned back to the first mission.
‘What is it? In a little while, Ho-gwang and his family will arrive at the guesthouse… … .’
He just wanted to go back and report to Jeong Gwang that Ho Gwang was coming, but he wanted to do it right for Jeong Gwang who trusted him.
‘You have to think of it. you can do it. Danju said you can do it.’
As I kept thinking about Jeong-gwang, I started imagining what he would have done.
As time passed like that… … .
Zhao’s eyes lit up.
‘This will work!’
* * *
Ho Gwang glared at the guest in front of him.
As I told my son, I looked at the situation and tried to decide what to do, but when I got to the point, my mind wavered.
‘If you go inside, you may have to use your hands. I am very reluctant to take the first step toward the great precept… … .’
Numerous thoughts were mixed in my head.
And soon it solidified into one.
‘I can get more credit by starting it myself!’
After making up his mind, he turned to his family members and gave an order.
“The grand plan begins now. Everyone follow my orders… … omg!”
I saw a fire demon that was much redder and bigger than his eyes burning with ambition.
It was in the direction of his manor in the distance.
“Fire!”
