Part 2 Episode 92
Myeongsim (刻骨銘心)
It is said that it is not suited for a Taoist monk to perform ancestral rites.
It was nonsense, but the emperor naturally accepted it.
Doesn’t the fact that Jeong Gwang is not only a Je, but also a Taoist, make no sense?
Still, can I send it like this?
The request was made bluntly.
“Stay with Jim.”
“I’ll stop by sometime.”
“good. “I see it around this time every year.”
“It’s not sometimes, it’s often. “Wouldn’t our friendship become deeper when we meet after such a long time?”
“It’s a raincoat… … .”
The emperor’s eyes softened.
“okay. Jinokryong, you were my friend. He meets up occasionally to eat and drink. “A friend who spends money on my behalf.”
“That’s it.”
“It’s all good, but I don’t like the word sometimes. As soon as the unrest in the world calms down, we must expand the merchant fleet. “I will prepare dishes and sake that are much better than anything you have ever tasted.”
“Long live, long live, Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“This one sounds like there is some sincerity mixed in. Is that correct?”
“sure.”
The emperor glanced at the concentrate and then grinned.
“I wish you luck.”
“Your Majesty too.”
“And luggage? What does it mean?”
“External enemies are a problem, but new alcohol has to be put in new bottles. “I think you’re going through a lot.”
“haha. This means planting and elevating people to key positions to keep existing people in check. “I’m prepared.”
“I think they have decided on the person inside. “What about people outside?”
The inside refers to a person who carries out business related to the government, and the outside refers to a person who conducts business related to the government.
The emperor understood immediately and frowned.
“It’s harder outside than inside. How many people in public office have integrity? “I am deeply involved in various interests, so if I change my business, I will stand up against it fiercely.”
“I guess so. “What’s so good about money?”
“… … .”
“Hey, Your Majesty. “Why do you look at me like that?”
“It’s my mood.”
“I don’t think so.”
“wait. You couldn’t have said that for no reason. “Is there any good solution?”
Jeong Gwang shrugged his shoulders.
“There is no business in the face of greed. “We have no choice but to give it appropriate work and grow it slowly in a small place where the officials will not object.”
“No matter how careful you are, you will be persecuted someday. It should be a place where there are people who are outstanding enough to overcome that and grow up. “Are there any talents you can recommend?”
Jeong Gwang remembered a man with a soft expression and clear eyes.
“You know the continental battlefield, right?”
“How can I not know about the greatest battlefield in the world? But why are you there? “It doesn’t meet the conditions at all.”
“It can be said that Kang So-san, the Four Commander-in-Chief, is a person. “It should have been independent by now, so get someone to look into it and take it back if you think it’s useful.”
“Hmm.”
The emperor stroked his chin and smiled.
“If you can be considered a person, you must be truly outstanding. Thank you. “Let me find out.”
“What. “It’s good for me too.”
“hmm? Did you really decide to connect with Jim and get something in return?”
“Originally, I was supposed to give an audience to the Crown Prince and receive a share, but now that he has become the Emperor, I will receive more.”
The emperor burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha. That means Jim also had a part to play. good. “Let’s share the increased stake equally.”
“You are the richest man in the world, but you are trying to eat the liver of a flea.”
When Jeong Gwang protested with an absurd expression on his face, the emperor smiled bitterly.
“There is nothing we can do because the war costs are so high. “Even if we defeat all external enemies, we will still have to tighten our belts for a while, so what kind of respect can I have?”
Mongols in the north, barbarians in Yunnan Province, pirates along the coast, and even Oirats in Gansu Province.
Despite the martial arts help, massive bleeding was occurring every day.
In the future, a huge amount of money will have to be paid to repair the damage and soothe public sentiment. Moreover, didn’t he decide to rule the world with virtue? To do that, more wealth was needed.
Jeong Gwang smiled while listening to the emperor’s complaints.
“I was wondering where to invest it, but I think it would be better to give it to the emperor. “There is no one in the world more trustworthy than the Emperor of Daemyung.”
“Investment? “How long do you want to stay?”
“There is a cart full of vouchers and jewels in Paengga. “Write it all down.”
The emperor’s eyebrows twitched when he heard that it was a cartload of vouchers and jewels.
It was not a surprising amount for the Emperor, the ruler of the world, but isn’t it like a little rain falling on dry land?
The emperor looked intently at the light and made a promise.
“I will use it usefully and give it back to you in a big way. “This is of course the case, as well as the future trade in luxury goods with the Moyong family.”
“I would appreciate it if you could do so. Then I’ll leave. “Are His Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Jogan ready to leave?”
“King Han was originally fine. King Jogan and Princess Yeongpyeong, who had been unconscious, woke up. Taeei said there was nothing wrong.”
It was because Jeong-gwang had pointed out a blood transfusion, rather than using deep energy to make So-hye lose consciousness like before.
“I already told you that I would send it to Cheonghae Castle. We need to go to Kunlun Mountain urgently, right? “I think we should attach a minimum number of armed guards.”

“yes. “It’s comfortable.”
“Come tomorrow morning and take King Han and King Jogan first. I will gradually sort out the king’s relatives and assets and send them to you. however… … .”
The emperor continued speaking with a troubled expression.
“Princess Yeongpyeong is insisting on living away from the imperial palace. She said she would follow the two royal kings to the distant Cheonghae Fortress. “What should I do about this?”
“I think Sohye and Sojeo will follow.”
“Of course.”
“He has painful memories, but he went through a rough time this time, so I understand. Just allow it.”
“The Demonic Cult may not be able to attack Xining, but you never know, right?”
“If you think about it that way, there is no safe place in the world. “There are assassins hiding in the Forbidden City.”
“… … You are right. Mentally, it might be more dangerous here. “I will.”
After speaking, the emperor stood up and took the throne like a martial artist.
“I think I will regret seeing you again tomorrow, so let’s say goodbye today. Friend. “Good luck.”
Jeong Gwang also politely bowed.
“Stay healthy, Your Majesty.”
“haha. It sounds much better than Manse. Stay healthy too.”
Jeong Gwang left the room and sent a message to Eung Sam, who was hiding.
– Eungsam-ah. Protect the emperor well. Send the black book to Panga.
-Jo, my name!
-You too, stay healthy.
-… … yes?
-Goodbye.
-omg! Now, I thought I heard wrong. Thank you, cult leader!
Jeong Gwang went to Zhao and Hye Jin’s room and came out with them.
The Dongbangjang, who was standing with the dogs, quickly turned his head when his gaze met Jeonggwang’s.
But it’s already too late.
Jeong Gwang gestured.
“Director Dongbang. Let’s go.”
“Damn it. “Where?”
“I want to leave the imperial palace.”
The Dongbangjang’s eyes shone sharply.
“So where are you going? “You’re not going to invade the Mongols’ land and fight, are you?”
“Am I crazy?”
“That’s just the way it is.”
“I want to show you something really crazy. haha.”
As Jeong Gwang smiled and showed his teeth, the Dongbangjang’s complexion turned pale.
“Oh, no. Now is the perfect time to do something useless. Let’s go, my lord. “Anywhere.”
Jeong Gwang and his party headed to Paengga.
As soon as we arrived, Peng Su-bin came running out, but adult work came first.
Sogaju Pang Kang-woong, Taesang Gaju Pang Man-so, and hostess Yang Hee-in gathered.
Jeong Gwang first asked Yang Hee-in.
“I bought some rice boxes to build an orphanage. “Did you hear what I said?”
“That’s right.”
“Can I ask you to take care of it?”
Yang Hee-in smiled.
“Of course. “It’s also helpful to my family.”
This time, it was Pengga who gained popularity by distributing wealth and grain with other Daitohos.
As Paengga’s reputation grew, it was natural for people to feel uncomfortable.
Yang Hee-in was pointing out exactly that.
“Long-term good deeds, such as running an orphanage, were needed to silence those who envied us for giving strength to their necks through one-time relief projects. Thank you for giving me this great opportunity.”
“You’re hot as expected.”
Next was the distended cow.
“Lord Taesangga. The Emperor will soon send someone to take my cart. “At that time, please enter the imperial palace together and strengthen the emperor’s strength.”
“When you say your cart, do you mean the one with the voucher on it?”
“yes.”
Panmanso muttered with a worried look on his face.
“I never thought your financial situation would be so bad… … .”
“It’s not that bad.”
“Didn’t you just ask to strengthen the emperor’s strength?”
“Not with money, but with your heart.”
Jeong Guang explained the emperor’s aspirations.
Pan Manso, who had been listening quietly, asked in a quiet voice as soon as Jeong Gwang finished speaking.
“You will rule the world with virtue, not blood?”
“yes. “It must be difficult in one way or another, but who can help except Master Taesanggaju?”
“… … yes.”
“Please visit the palace often and have a chat. “There may be people who look down on you, but just ignore them.”
Panmanso’s watery eyes shone brightly.
“I’m not afraid of being in the crowd of small people. “I will do my best so as not to offend the Emperor.”
“I think the Emperor will be pleased.”
The last one was Peng Kang-woong.
“Lord Soga. “I’m leaving for the main gate tomorrow morning. What kind of people are planning to go from Paengga?”
“Ten elders and twenty-eight swords of strength, and… … .”
As Paeng Kang-woong continued, Jeong Gwang’s mouth opened.
“Wait. Are you trying to fight for the fate of the Pan family?”
“I’m showing you the bare minimum of sincerity.”
“If the leader found out, he would grab the back of my neck and fall down.”
“You already agreed, so that doesn’t happen. “In fact, he praised us, saying that only if the leader’s family sets an example, others will properly join in.”
“I like it. But who is the leader? “I just wanted to say hello in advance.”
“Do it.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you talking to me now?”
“Lord Soga?”
“There are many people with higher positions than me, so the actual command will be done by someone else, but in name I am the head.”
“No, that’s not it. What are you going to do if you end up fighting? “Gongja Lee is more suited to being a fighter than a head of a family.”
“I will never die.”
“Did you at least take a sip of Gongcheong Petroleum?”
Peng Kang-woong answered with a calm face.
However, there was strong confidence in his voice.
“Because we fight together with you.”
“… … .”
“Why is your expression like that? “As if I heard something I couldn’t hear.”
“I guess it’s because of your mood.”
“I wasn’t farming. “It means I trust you that much.”
“… … .”
“It is also to spread the will of the original family. Kunlun should not be the only one to shed blood. All Murim members must step forward. “This is the path the new Murim Alliance must take.”
Jeong Gwang gently scratched his cheek and then chuckled.
“You can’t complain later.”
“Please do your best not to do that. and… … .”
Peng Kang-woong licked his lips and then sighed.
“Whew. Subin is also making a fuss about wanting to go.”
“why?”
“I heard that once the fight against the Demon Cult is over, you will leave forever. “Is that what you mean?”
“Youngyoung is too much.”
“Then decades? “Ten years?”
“well. “I don’t know either.”
“Soobin is smarter than me. “You are so indifferent.”
Jeong Gwang tilted his head.
“is it?”
“I see. “I understand why Soobin wanted to spend time together, even going to Kunlun Mountain.”
“Why even go to Kunlun Mountain?”
“Aren’t you planning to let Kunlun and the Wulin League defend Kunlun Mountain and then jump into Xinjiang with only a small number of people?”
“uh? “How did you know that?”
“Because it was like that in the fight with Sima Lian, and it was like that in the fight with Mo Yong Sega. “You always worry about the safety of others and bleed yourself.”
It was done for efficiency, but Peng Kang-woong misunderstood in another direction.
“I’ll be honest. I believe Kunlun will be safe, but I can’t help but worry because Subin is so young. “You decide.”
Jeong Gwang looked at Pang Man-so and Yang Hee-in alternately with bewildered eyes.
“You heard it now, right?”
The two people nodded.
“Why are you still?”
“Because I can trust you.”
“It’s because I trust the True Jade Dragon.”
When Jeong Gwang found it absurd, the two people added.
“I don’t mean to burden you.”
“It’s because I don’t know which one is better for Soobin. “If you don’t think so, refuse.”
“Hmm. He’s old enough to take him to the battlefield and give him real combat experience… … .”
The Pangs’ eyes widened slightly.
Jeong Gwang spoke to the door, paying no heed to their reactions.
“Soobin. “Come in.”
“yes! “Master!”
Peng Su-bin, who was eavesdropping, quickly came in and stood in front of Jeong Gwang.
“Do you want to go to Kunlun with me?”
“yes! Master! “Please do not reject the disciple, but allow him to do so!”
“Then let’s do it.”
“Master! The disciple… … yes?”
Peng Su-bin, who was about to beg for reconsideration, opened his eyes round.
Jeong Gwang roughly stroked her head and opened his mouth.
“You are not Kunlun’s disciple, but you are my disciple, so you should climb Kunlun Mountain, chew grass, sleep in an alcove, and be exposed to the harsh winds.”
“… … .”
Just for that reason?
Peng Su-bin, who was puzzled, felt his heart warm as he heard Jeong Gwang’s next words.
“It’s a place with a lot of good people. There are also good goats. While we’re at it, let’s go. “I will lay the foundation along the way, so be prepared.”
“thank you! thank you!”
“I understand, so would you like to take a break?”
Jeong Gwang gently pushed away Pang Su-bin, who was trying to hug him, but gave up and looked around at the others.
“Kunlun is not weak. “There are quite a few good people in the Murim Alliance.”
“… … .”
“And there I am. Subin will be fine, so don’t worry, stay well.”
* * *
The next morning.
Jeong Gwang opened the gate carefully and opened his eyes wide when he saw Paeng Kang-hwi and Mo Yong-susu coming in.
“uh? “Where are you two sleeping?”
“… … !”
Peng Kang-hwi blushed.
“Uh huh. Anyone who hears this will misunderstand it. “It’s too late to help those in need. What can you say?”
Jeong Gwang looked at Mo Yong Susu with cautious eyes.
Mo Yongsusu only frowned and made no protest.
Jeong Gwang clapped his hands and muttered.
“I don’t feel good, but it’s okay anyway.”
“It works!”
“They say the rice is cooked and turned into rice. “Then cook a lot of rice.”
“Oh, no. That’s not it… … .”
Zheng Guang headed to the Forbidden City with several people.
There was also a black book in it.
He came at dawn and performed a funeral while hiding in the shadow of Jeong Gwang’s horse.
‘I couldn’t believe it. This is what happens in the end. ‘What kind of thing is this in my later years?’
As if reading his mind, Jeong Gwang sent a message.
-how is it? Do you like the award?
-Thank you for showing grace to your disciples! More than anything, it is an honor to be able to serve you, leader!
-okay. It would be better not to forget that feeling.
-Ha, ha-ha-like grace! I will engrave it in my heart and leave it for generations to come!
-OK.
Jeong Gwang rode the horse with a satisfied look on his face.
And when we arrived at the Forbidden City, we looked around at the people we were leaving with.
‘They’re all here. let’s hurry.’
I couldn’t go very far with them.
A faint sound of wailing began to be heard from the Forbidden City.
‘this. ‘It looks like someone died, regardless of circumstances or circumstances.’
First of all, I wish you peace in peace.
I had to go quickly before they came to celebrate the ancestral rites.
Jeong Gwang urged the group and slammed down the reins.
“If this continues, the sun will set. “Let’s go quickly.”
It was shortly after dawn.
Horses and carriages galloped by.
Toward Cheonghae Castle!
