Episode 268Confession (6)

The next day.

wickedness! wickedness!

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sweeping the yard with a huge broom, suddenly felt a sense of popularity and turned his head.

“Howdy.”

Mukbi, dressed in fur, looked at Yeonhojeong and waved his hand.

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.

“What are you doing out here so early in the morning? “It’s cold, so go in and get some more rest.”

“A sneaky human being.”

“What?”

Mukbi grumbled.

“Somehow, you know me so well.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Do you believe me?”

“What if you don’t believe it? “They say so, but you have to believe it.”

It was truly a very simple conclusion.

Of course, it cannot be said that Mukbi’s trust in Yeonhojeong is deeper than that of Yeonwi. It was correct to view the differences between the two as purely personality differences.

“How was it?”

“what?”

“What was I like back then?”

Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.

“The only thing I knew how to do was cutting walls and windows. “You couldn’t even pay for the night, and you got so drunk that you just danced in front of all the kids.”

“Oops!”

Mukbi’s face turned red.

“lie!”

“Cluck.”

“…It wasn’t, right?”

“What if it was like that? What if it wasn’t? “Isn’t what’s important about who you are now?”

“Say it straight. “You did, didn’t you?”

“I don’t know. “I think it was like that.”

“It’s a lie after all!”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled and continued brushing.

“In the Black Empire, the largest alliance of the Black Islands, there was a position called the Five Great Gods.”

“Five Great Gods…?”

“They were the most powerful masters operating under the Black Emperor, the Lord of the Black Emperor. “The martial arts skills of each individual were at a professional level, and all of them were worthy of being considered the best in the world in their respective fields.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Muk-bi.

“You were the leader of the Five Great Gods and the person who was called the strongest military commander.”

“…!”

“His unrivaled archery skills were unquestionably the best in the world, and he was known as the second-best man in the Black Empire in terms of martial arts, as he boasted of fighting skills that rivaled other five great gods even without using a bow. “That is you, Mukbi, the shrine.”

Mukbi felt his heart pounding for no reason.

A shrine? What a great nickname. It gave me goosebumps to realize that in the era in which Yeon Ho-jeong lived, he was a strong man who could be considered the best in the world.

“And that river too.”

“…?!”

“Kang Ryang is an unrivaled swordsman in kendo who is called the best sword of the black sword and is famous as the iron-blooded sword king in the martial arts world of the central region. Likewise, he was a member of the Five Great Gods.”

Mukbi laughed.

“The strength…?”

“At that time, the greatest sword in the world, praised by Gangho, was Prince Moyong. However, some people said this. ‘Moyonggun is superior in terms of martial arts, but when it comes to swords, his strength is greater.’”

“That’s an incredible assessment.”

“Even though he looked like he was missing something, his talent and passion were unrivaled. “There was a reason why he was selected as one of the five great gods at the youngest age among us.”

“Was Guicheolgeommun destroyed even then?”

“okay. So I was surprised. “I was worried that even if the flow of history changes, it will still lead to the same result in the end.”

Mukbi, who was looking at Yeonhojeong, brought a broom from the corner.

“Let’s do it together.”

“Then thank you.”

Two people stood side by side and swept the snow.

months! months! months!

Perhaps because they are very savvy, the accumulated snow was swept away in a single sweep of the broom.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked, looking down at the broom.

“Are you not upset?”

“What? “Have you never told me?”

“no.”

“sure?”

“You might think it was an intentional approach.”

Mukbi smiled. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Well, you might think so.”

“You look like you’re really in a bad mood?”

“If I hadn’t become a practitioner, would my life have been further mired in the gutter? “When I think about that, I don’t dare say I feel bad.”

“I know how.”

Mukbi just smiled.

‘I see.’

Behind her bright smile, she remembered what Yeon Ho-jeong said in the past.

‘You never showed your emotions easily. But you didn’t have any feelings at all. Rather, he was a warrior with a warmer heart than anyone else.’

‘I liked you. At least back then, you knew how to choose your own life. Even though the road was painful, he never complained.’

‘I didn’t know your past. I didn’t know it would be like this. But trying to find out more than this would be foolish.’

‘The past is just the past. But I wanted to fix the past that would lead to a terrible future. In order to do that, I need a different version of myself from the past.’

When Yeon Ho-jeong, whom I had never seen before, said those words when I was with my Gung-cheon brother after the Yesin Joint Battle.

Although I was extremely sad and confused, it was still the words that kept ringing in my head. Yeon Ho-jeong was treating her as if she had known him for a long time.

‘That’s why you came to see me.’

Mukbi’s eyes grew faint as he looked at Yeonhojeong.

‘And yet you didn’t persuade me.’

If he had really intended to use himself, he would have dragged himself along in some way.

But Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t do that. He gave me a choice, and if he said he wouldn’t be with me, I would let him go without any hesitation.

That was Yeonhojeong.

Even if you had a deep relationship with someone in the past, it was never forced. I simply suggested it and respected individual choices.

How can you hate someone like that? How can I say I am disappointed?

‘Rather, I am the one who received the favor.’

Yeon Ho-jeong gave herself a family as a gift.

That alone was enough to consider him a lifelong benefactor. I was a thousand times more grateful that he treated me like family than for saving my life.

“Wow, my back hurts.”

“A person who swings an ax weighing 80 pounds can only kill this much.”

“I’m not using my strength.”

“…really?”

“huh.”

“why?”

“It’s just training. “If you keep your posture right, it’s good for training your back and abdomen.”

“….”

“Hey, why are you using your eyes and internal energy? “It’s a waste of effort.”

Now that I think about it, Yeon Ho-jeong’s posture was definitely restrained.

It was an attitude that could safely be considered training rather than labor. However, it was so natural that you wouldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.

Mukbi stuck out his tongue.

“Why are you training until such a time?”

“If you make it a part of your training until moments like this, your skills will improve quickly.”

“Oh, that’s not right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“that’s right. This is not enough. But I believe it. “If these moments come together, you will be able to climb at least one step higher in the future.”

“Hmm.”

“Well, it’s okay if your skills don’t necessarily improve. Just keeping you on your toes is enough.”

Mukbi, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, shrugged his shoulders.

“But I don’t want to live like that.”

“Lazy.”

“You didn’t forget that I’m older than you, right?”

“I was the lord of the castle and you were my subordinate?”

“It’s a past I don’t know about anyway.”

“Is it still like that now?”

“It’s a private meeting, right?”

“Even though I have a young body, I am almost 50 years old.”

“I wish I was older. But shouldn’t that be considered an imaginary number?”

“….”

“Live in reality, don’t get buried in the past.”

“You won’t go anywhere and get scammed. “The person who was so gentle and gentle in the world now has a dagger on his tongue.”

“I don’t think this is something a practitioner would say.”

Yeon Ho-jeong burst out laughing.

Mukbi, who was smiling, asked lightly.

“When are you going to tell Jipyeong?”

“Jipyeong?”

“yes. “You told me, so of course you have to tell Ji-pyeong too, right?”

“Well, that’s it?”

Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.

“Now that I’ve come this far, I don’t really want to cheat. But isn’t it strange to talk about it while holding each other?”

“is that so?”

“huh.”

He looked up at the sky.

The snowfall falling in the dark early morning sky had noticeably weakened.

“I realized it yesterday. “It’s best if these kinds of things just come out naturally.”

“hmm.”

“Of course, I didn’t know that until yesterday. “It was a really big worry for me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.

“But not anymore. Whether I confess my past or not, those who believe in me will never lose faith until the end. Then I can go comfortably.”

Mukbi smiled.

“That sounds nice.”

“Oh, and now it’s annoying. Yesterday, I poured out what I wanted to say for at least five days. “I want to keep my vocal cords closed for the time being.”

“There are too many words for something like that.”

“….”

“What the hell.”

“….”

“Jeolssigu.”

“….”

“If you keep keeping your mouth shut like that, can I hit you? “I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“no.”

The two people burst out laughing at the same time.

“I’m just trying to go naturally. “I like that.”

“is it so. Then let’s do it.”

Half an hour passed like that.

The sky was still dark as night. But it felt like it was slowly getting brighter from the eastern sky.

“Ah, I’ve been moving since dawn and I’m hungry. “Would you like to eat?”

“Good.”

* * *

“Whoa.”

Zhuge Wenhu could not sleep even a wink.

“The three religious fanatics…?”

His eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at the shaking window.

‘Why haven’t I figured out that such an organization exists until now?’

Well, it’s not even a midfielder, it’s a new field. If an outside force had decided to hide its power, it would have been difficult to catch it no matter how good the Murim Alliance’s intelligence was.

So I was even more scared.

When a person or an organization gains power, they tend to want to show it to the public. It was a problem that touched human nature.

However, even though they had enormous power and capital, they were completely hiding themselves.

A group with tremendous strength as well as patience beyond imagination. And since confidence in the future is essential to demonstrate such patience, there are probably many talented strategists.

‘It doesn’t feel real. But…’

Zhuge Wenhu sighed.

‘Commander Yeon is not the kind of person who would lie about something like this. furthermore.’

He took out several neatly folded documents from his arms.

It was a top-secret information document stolen from the Mukryongbu. The document described the flow of funds from Sae-oe to Mukryongbu.

And in that flow, the Corridor Group defeated by Tangma Murderer’s combined forces also belonged.

‘There is clear evidence. In the end, you can be sure that the Three Religions of Gwangsin exist.’

Zhuge Liang buried his back in his chair as if he was frustrated.

“If it is enough to support the Mukryongbu, the power of Saeumgyo will be comparable to the Murim Alliance at best. “But there are not one, but three such organizations?”

It was dark before my eyes.

In most cases, he was quick to come up with countermeasures against the enemy, but even that had its limits.

There was even one more problem.

“Moyong-gun.”

Anger appeared on Zhuge Wenhu’s face.

“Even if you are crazy about power, there is a degree to it. How can you join hands with Yang Chen! “This guy is definitely crossing the line!”

To be honest, the threat to the three religious fanatics was too abstract.

But it wasn’t Moyong-gun. Even though he was blinded by power, I thought he was a person with his own sense of justice, but now I see that he is the ruin of the world!

Zhuge Munho, who had been huffing and puffing for a while, turned his head towards the door.

“Is there anything?”

“Yes, soldier.”

“Tell Lord Yeonga that the soldier will see you for a while.”

“All right.”

Zhuge Wenhu turned his gaze to the window.

Hehehehe.

The window was shaking like crazy in the bitter east wind.
