Episode 270Welcoming Guests (2)
âIs Commander Yeon here?â
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
âSee you, soldier.â
Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.
âThe heavens and earth shook. âI thought they were doing group training, but it seems that wasnât the case.â
Because of his military position, his brain power was highlighted, and Zhuge Wenhu was also the head of a six-generation family. Jinbaâs senses were very sensitive, as befits a transcendental expert.
âBut what brought you here?â
âHehe, please sit down for now.â
âyes.â
After a while, two cups of tea were placed on the table.
âI have something to talk with Commander Yeon. âA-yeon, please leave the room for a moment.â
Zhuge Zhenyan stuck out his mouth.
âI am also the military mountain of the Mortal Army.â
âZinc.â SÑará´h the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âTsk, I get it.â
As soon as Jegal Zhen left, Yeon Ho Jeong quenched his appetite.
âIs it because of the Three Religions Incident?â
âWeâll talk about that later. âItâs an extremely serious matter, but at least it doesnât look like theyâll invade the central plains right away.â
âThatâs true.â
âThis is why I came to see you today.â
Zhuge Wenhu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned after reading the first line of the letter.
âWestern Goddess?â
âThatâs right.â
âWhat is it? âWhat about this seemingly crude nickname?â
Zhuge Wenhu laughed without even realizing it.
âIâve never thought about it before, but it certainly seems like you made it up roughly, just like you said.â
âThatâs right.â
âThe West Station Lady, as her nickname suggests, is a West Station woman. âYou will find out why she was given the name âShinnyeoâ when you read the letter further.â
After a while.
âHoo.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled. It was a smile full of uniqueness.
âHe is a righteous person who provides god-like medical techniques to the poor and sick for free⦠Isnât that amazing?â
âyes? Even though she is from the West, no one ignores her thanks to her spirit of service and good character. No, if I had respected you, I would have respected you.â
âThere is nothing more foolish than ignoring someone because their skin color is different.â
âHehe, thatâs true. In fact, they say that aside from all that, she has great beauty. âIs this one of the reasons why you canât easily ignore it even if you want to?â
âHmm.â
Yeon Ho-jeong put down the letter.
âBut why did this amazing woman come to the Murim Alliance?â
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
âItâs not for some reason, but since the Murim Alliance was founded, Iâve sent people to invite you several times. But the priestess kept refusing, saying there were many patients she needed to take care of.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
When I hear stories from honest and good-natured people, I feel better. I liked the way people did things without worrying about what they couldnât do and didnât care about money or fame.
âIsnât it true that you canât force someone to come when they say they canât come because of patients? So I kept waiting, and he recently said that he would accept Maengâs invitation.â
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
âBut why did you invite this person? Of course, it is not strange to worship him once because he is a rare good man, but after listening to him, it seems like he has a separate purpose.â
âHehe, youâre sharp after all.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes became serious.
âI plan to create a parliamentary organization within the Murim Alliance.â
âAre you saying youâre building a military unit belonging to the Murim Alliance?â
âIt would be a bit harsh to call it a clothing room. Because itâs a broader concept than that. But that isnât wrong either.â
âHmm.â
âThe world is rough. Conflicts and fights occur frequently. And at the center of that world is the Murimmaeng. âIn the future, countless warriors belonging to the Murim League will be injured, so we canât keep the lawmakers on the lookout forever.â
âBut isnât there already a similar group in the Murim Alliance?â
âOf course there is. They are all very capable lawmakers. But they are just contractors. âWhen the contract ends, we have to either extend it or recruit other lawmakers.â
âSo, the idea is to create an organization affiliated with the Murim Alliance.â
âThatâs right. âOn this point, everyone agreed unanimously.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âThe blacksmith and the doctor are a warriorâs closest friends. However, they are creating a separate Uibang belonging to the Murim Alliance⦠This is a bit strange.â
âwhy? âIs there anything wrong with it?â
âIt seems that the intention to not disband the Murim Alliance in the future is behind the plan to create an affiliated organization, rather than being caught.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes sparkled.
âIâm tired of admiring it any more. âYour insight is truly amazing, to delve into it so quickly.â
âYou can keep praising me. âNow Iâm used to it and it feels good.â
âWow, this guy.â
âCluck.â
âThere were many Bonggong who expressed concerns about that. âI was one of them.â
âWell, for now, itâs important to reduce the immediate damage.â
âIt was a good look.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs face became serious.
âThe existence of the three religious religions. No one knows how great their power is. In that case, I think there is no harm in retaining as many talented lawmakers as possible before thinking about the future of the Murim Alliance.â
âWell, thatâs true.â
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
âBy the way, youâre a Western Station Priestess⦠Is she a very famous person? âIâve never heard of it before.â
âEveryone knows. Of course, people who arenât interested in that area donât know. âActually, considering his skills and personality, I feel like he was buried too much.â
âyes?â
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
âArenât there bound to be factions everywhere? âIt seems that her existence was a thorn in the eyes of those who continued the tradition of medicine in Jungwon.â
âomg.â
âIt is said that the Western Region Goddessâs medical skills are a combination of the Western and Central Plains medical skills and are superior to those of any medical practitioner in the Central Plains. So, those who continued the line of medicine in Jungwon slandered her medical practice, calling it apostate.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âPeople who make it their business to fix peopleâs bodies are putting their energy into useless things.â
âThatâs right. In any case, it is largely the fault of the members of the Central House of Representatives that her fame did not spread across the world.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âOne way or another, the Murim Alliance couldnât have ignored the opinions of the local lawmakers, but they thought of inviting the West Region priestess.â
âWhat is important to us is not tradition or money, but skill and character. Besides, the West Station priestess is young. âI thought it was perfect for growing up with many people.â
âgood idea.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
âSo what am I to do?â
âYou already guessed it, right?â
âAre you an escort?â
âThatâs right.â
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
âAs I said, the West Region priestess has many enemies. At the same time, there are many people targeting her. âNo one has come forward so far, but if there is a rumor that she is coming to the Murim Alliance, I am afraid that the Mukryongbu or other groups may attack or kidnap her.â
âThen wouldnât it be better to send people who specialize in covert maneuver? âI can bring you secretly, right?â
âWhat are you afraid of?â
âyes?â
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
âWhat is it that makes the worldâs Murim Alliance move so secretly out of fear? Should we just send a capable person and bring him proudly?â
âWhy are you so confident all of a sudden?â
âHehe, this is what most of the Bonggongs think. Well, thatâs not wrong either. âThere are times when you have to move cautiously, but there are also times when you have to be bold, even if it means risking all sorts of trouble.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âDo you want to show the power of the Murim Alliance through me?â
âItâs one of many reasons.â
âIâm not that strong.â
âThat was the nastiest joke Iâve heard this year. Besides, what I want from you isnât just ability.â
âsure?â
âFame.â
âhmm.â
âThe name value of Byeoksanhojang, which was at the peak of the late-period index of the time along with Geongonhojang Mo Yong-woo, is not that easy. âThat reputation is already spreading throughout the central region.â
âIâm more annoyed. âI think there are a lot of people who will challenge me to check my skills.â
âBreak everything and come back.â
âDonât be so quick to say itâs someone elseâs business.â
âCanât you think of it as part of your training?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
âAre all of the Mortal Army moving?â
âYou can take care of that. âWhether you take only a small number of people or take the entire army.â
âWhat about departure?â
âI want you to leave within five days.â
âAll right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
âHow is Moyong-gun these days?â
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
âItâs quiet. âHeâs clearly bowing down because of what happened last time.â
âokay.â
âAs you said, I am watching his every move. âIf you notice any suspicious activity, please let me know right away.â
âthank you.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was turning around, stopped when a sudden thought occurred to him.
âSir.â
âhmm? why? Is there anything more to say?â
âThis mission. âIs it okay to not be an army of mortals?â
A look of puzzlement appeared on Zhuge Munhoâs face.
âYou donât have to be the Mortal Army? why? Do you want to be with someone else?â
âThatâs right.â
âwith who?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and opened his mouth.
Zhuge Wenhoâs face hardened after hearing his words.
âAre you going to be okay?â
âThey say the value of a name is important.â
âOf course, but⦠why?â
âI have some things to look into, so if nothing else happens, Iâd like to join you. âIs that okay?â
ââ¦.â
âIf you canât decide, thereâs nothing you can do.â
Zhuge Wenhu chuckled.
âI believe you have your own ideas.â
âthank you.â
âThank you for your hard work this time too. âIâm sorry for entrusting you with this task even though it hasnât been long since this difficult mission was completed.â
âDonât say that. âIâm going out of my own will, not because the soldier told me to.â
âHeh, I understand. âIâm sure youâll be busy, so just go and have a look.â
âBy the way, soldier.â
âhmm?â
âNow that I think about it, this is the headquarters of the Army of Death. Why am I leaving?â
ââ¦Kahahah!â
âPlease take a look.â
âIâm sorry.â
Zhuge Wenhu was so embarrassed that he ran out in a huff.
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
âIf you look at that guy every once in a while, heâs really cute.â
* * *
âHmm.â
âGasp!â
Yeonwi stroked his chin and looked down at Kangryang.
âYour basic skills are definitely excellent. âWith just that strong foundation, itâs no match for even a decent expert.â
âCough! âGasp!â
âBut you are too honest. Honesty is a good virtue, but an overly honest attack will inevitably provide clues for a counterattack.â
Slurp.
The lead sword-faced Yeonwi raised Kang Ryang to his feet.
âomg! âI can wake up!â
âAt times like this, youâre not being honest again. âIf we had divided the sum even more, you would have fainted.â
I managed to get up with support, but my legs had no strength. Kang Ryang blushed with embarrassment.
âI have no shame, matriarch.â
âHey, donât say that. âItâs even more amazing that Iâve gritted my teeth and held on until now.â
Yeonwi sat Gangryang down on the table.
âHmm, I donât think thereâs any need to supplement in terms of physical strength, and thereâs nothing about the martial arts skills of Gwicheolgeommun that arenât in season. âI could improve your martial arts skills, but in the current situation, I donât need toâ¦â
Yeonwi, who was tilting his head, suddenly felt a hint of popularity.
He smiled.
âI had a good idea.â
âGasp! yes?â
After a while, Yeon Ho-jeong came into Pagungak.
âfather.â
âAre you here?â
âyes.â
âI still have something to ask of you.â
âWhich one?â
Yeonwi pointed to Kangryang with his chin.
âI think I need your help.â
Yeon Ho-jeong saw Kang Ryang. Anxiety spread across Kang Ryangâs face.
On the other hand, a wry smile spread across Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
If you pretend, you pretend. He was the one who immediately understood what his father wanted.
âHo-oh, can you give me a taste before I go on a mission?â
