Episode 271Welcoming guests (3)
âHmm, it smells good.â
Moyong said with a smile.
âSo, how is Tang Maâs training going lately?â
âItâs going smoothly. Of course, I think we need a few more actual battles.â
âIf youâre confident enough, itâs worth looking forward to.â
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
âIf it doesnât work in practice, itâs of little use. âIt seems like it can handle an all-out battle in an open field, but Iâm not sure about battles in special environments such as urban warfare or mountain warfare.â
âArenât they all clad in heavy armor and riding on horseback? âItâs not suitable for urban warfare or mountain warfare in the first place.â
âThe Mortal Army was different.â
âhmm?â
âThe Mortal Army is also good at urban warfare and mountain warfare. His skills in all-out warfare in open areas will probably be outstanding.â
Moyong-gun chuckled.
âMost of the members of the Mortal Death Army come from prestigious families. The more prestigious the martial arts skills, the more distinct their individuality. Rather than uniting as one and crushing the enemy, a tactic that utilizes each individualâs individuality would be more effective. âThere is a reason why Yeon Ho-jeong equipped his soldiers with light armor.â
âI think so too.â
âThe Tangma Army is an organization specialized in all-out warfare with overwhelming firepower, and the Mortal Death Army is an organization specialized in special warfare with skillful response capabilities. âItâs also good for both organizations to develop by leveraging their respective strengths.â
Mo Yong-woo thought.
At times like this, Moyong really seems like a person who is devoted to the Murim Alliance.
I felt that way even more because the remark was filled with sincerity.
âby the way.â
Moyong-gun smiled.
âThis matter was handled well.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âthank you.â
âSurely your business is not ordinary. âIt must have been quite difficult to handle this matter, but they did a really good job.â
âGuizhou Trading Company is one of the hidden powerhouses in the commercial world. âI think I would have been in trouble because of this if I hadnât been able to control the momentum right away.â S~eaÊá´h the NovÑlÆire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI saw it well.â
âIn the future, transactions with the main family will become much smoother. âYou can relax.â
âha ha ha!â
Moyong-gun burst out laughing.
âI could see a change in you from the moment you said you would help me. But this case was truly unexpected. âI didnât know you had that kind of determination.â
âCultivating character is important. But it is a sin if your character prevents you from doing what you should do.â
Anyone who knew what Mo Yong-woo was aiming for would have found this remark very meaningful.
Moyong smiled happily.
âThat is correct. her! âIt looks like youâre really ready now.â
Mo Yong-woo spoke as if he had just hung up.
âYou canât just wait for your brother to throw you some food. Now, I will run in my own way.â
âHahaha!â
It was Mr. Moyong, who was putting a lot of pressure on himself because of one mistake.
In other words, in the midst of reorganization, Mo Yong-wooâs determination was truly welcome. I once again wondered if I had ever felt so reassured by the presence of my younger brother.
It was then.
âMatriarch.â
âWhatâs going on?â
âExcuse me, but I have a letter from Commander Tangma.â
âTo Woo? âPlease come in.â
Mo Yong-woo received the letter and opened it.
For a moment his eyes sparkled.
âWho did the letter come from?â
âI am the commander of the Mortal Army.â
Prince Moyongâs eyes suddenly became sharper.
âFrom that Yeonhojeong guy?â
âyes.â
âWhat did you say?â
âolder brother.â
âhuh?â
Mo Yong-woo stood up.
âI will come and meet Commander Yeon. âIâll tell you the details when I come back.â
* * *
âHowdy.â
Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand from the window on this floor.
Mo Yong-woo chuckled.
âCan I go up to this floor?â
âSo are you going to drink outside on this cold day?â
âalcohol?â
âDo you use it when alcohol is absent from the conversation? Come up quickly.â
Did that guy like drinking that much?
Mo Yong-woo entered Yeon Ho-jeongâs residence. On the table in front of the window were two bottles of fish-flavored meat broth and strong wine, which had a nice scent.
Mo Yong-woo clicked his tongue.
âAre you a shipper again?â
âWhat about the shipper?â
âItâs not that I donât particularly like it, but if I drink only fire wine, I get upset. âIt must be so harsh.â
âI like the aftertaste of strong alcohol.â
âA strong yet clean drink has a good aftertaste. Just looking at this shipper, it looks like he just made it to get drunk.â
âThen why are you drinking to get drunk? Just sit down. âYou probably havenât even eaten.â
âOkay then.â
Mo Yong-woo picked up a piece of well-fried meat and ate it.
âDid Yeonje cook?â
âWell, it snowed so much that it was a hassle to go to the restaurant.â
âYou can get there in an instant if you put your mind to it. âWhy bother?â
âI just feel like that. âHow does it taste?â
âItâs fascinating. Itâs quite delicious. âYeonje is also good at cooking.â
âIf you live alone, you make at least this much of a fool.â
âI was a foolâ¦â
Yeon Ho-jeong filled Mo Yong-wooâs glass.
âhow is it? Mr. Moyong.â
Mo Yong-woo said with a calm face.
âYou are taking care of yourself. âIt looks like you are very aware of your mistake this time.â
âAs expected.â
âYour brotherâs movements this time were definitely too clumsy. âIt was careless.â
Mo Yong-woo also filled Yeon Ho-jeongâs cup.
âSo, the reason you didnât fight back properly was because of the Ink Dragon Club?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âYour eyesight has become very sharp?â
âYou have no discernment. âIf I hadnât heard it beforehand, I never would have guessed it.â
Mo Yong-woo fiddled with his glass.
âWe prepare properly and explode⦠It looks like we are waiting for next yearâs election.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âYou can reduce the possibility of a counterattack by launching an unexpected surprise attack. It will be a somewhat scary result for Prince Moyong, but what can you do? âIf you want to win, you have to do whatever it takes.â
âChoose the means and methods. Are you trying to be just like your brother?â
âEven if I donât choose any means or methods, I will maintain the minimum ethics. donât worry.â
âhaha.â
Mo Yong-woo raised his glass.
âLetâs have a drink.â
âItâs good.â
The two people clinked their glasses and passed drinks coolly.
âWow, itâs so harsh. âI think the alcohol was particularly strong today.â
âAt times like that, snacks are needed. Eat quickly. âI put a lot of oil on it on purpose.â
Mo Yong-woo gasped and chewed the meat and swallowed it. My stomach was definitely greasy and I felt like I was going to live.
âAnywayâ¦â
Mo Yong-woo asked, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
âWhat happened?â
âhmm?â
âIt seems like the atmosphere has changed somehow. âI would say it looks more stable than before.â
âokay?â
âHave you solved any homework that hasnât been solved yet?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âItâs not like that, I just feel at ease.â
I donât know if it really seems that way, but if the mood has changed, itâs probably because my father has accepted my past.
It was quite a burden not to show it, but to keep that secret to myself and not tell it to anyone. I had to come up with a justification and reason every time I did something, so of course I had to do that.
But not anymore. I remained silent, but just knowing that my father knew made my shoulders feel lighter.
âThatâs a good thing. Yes, there should be no burden on your mind.â
âSo, your brother has become much sharper?â
âDoes it look like that?â
âok. Still, you donât look tired. Now, do you want to make up your mind and run?â
Mo Yong-woo smiled bitterly.
âYeonjeâs eyes are really sharp.â
âItâs not that my eyes are sharp, itâs that itâs easy for you to see.â
âHaha, I see.â
Mo Yong-woo filled Yeon Ho-jeongâs glass again and asked.
âSo, what did you call me for? âIt seems like it was an official story since you sent the letter even though you knew your brother was there.â
âthatâs right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at Mo Yong-woo with chopsticks.
âIf nothing happens, would you like to go get some fresh air with me this time?â
âSnorting?â
âDo you know that she is a West Station priestess?â
âOh, of course. âIsnât she a saint of the first generation?â
âHuh? âI had no idea.â
âYou might not know. Iâve heard a lot of rumors about this and that about the commercial sector. But why the Western Station Lady?â
Yeon Ho-jeong told me the details.
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes lit up.
âEscort?â
âhuh.â
âThen wouldnât it be better for the entire Mortal Death Army or Tang Demon Army to go?â
âI thought so too at first, but itâs not any other job, itâs escorting, right? Even though it is an army with guaranteed freedom, it is a bit unfair to use it for escort work. Besides, our kids are currently refining their formation.â
âHoo.â
âTangma-kun is also busy? âDidnât you say before that you are pouring blood and sweat into improving your ability to respond in the event of a melee?â
âThatâs right. âIâm still working hard.â
âSo, thatâs right. Personally, when the Mortal Armyâs next expedition, I plan to shoot all over the central plains and then die. âItâs a bit of a waste to waste time on something like this.â
âWow, the expression âkilling timeâ is a bit harsh. âI guess escorting someone like that could be a great honor in itself.â
âLetâs share that good honor together. As we go, we talk about various things and practice. âItâs good, right?â
âHmm.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes sparkled.
âIâm accompanying you under the pretext of an official mission⦠I guess it wonât give you a headache.â
âAnyway, my father and the soldier are there. âMoyong-gun wonât be able to run wild for the time being, so I think the timing is just right.â
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
âIf thereâs nothing else to worry about, itâs fine with me.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âgood. âThen weâll be leaving in three days, so be sure to prepare well by then.â
âGood. ah! Butâ¦â
âHuh?â
âAre you just going to Yeonjae with me? âAre there no other companions?â
âwell.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âIâm worried about one guy, but I have to be able to trust his mental state.â
* * *
Three days later.
âOkay, have a nice trip.â
âYes father.â
âEven if there is nothing special, make sure to deliver the letter.â
âDo not worry.â
Yeonwi nodded.
âokay. ah! And then I heard that Jipyeong had departed. âI told you to keep in touch with me at all times through open communication, so I guess it would be okay to bring him if we can meet in the middle.â
âOh good.â
It was then.
âReady.â
Gangryang and Mukbi walked out.
Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.
âWhy are you silent?â
âIâm going too.â
âWhere?â
Mukbi pointed to Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âIf you go all the way, who will train the kids?â
âIâm going to Zinc. And what kind of soldiers are they? âI can take care of things on my own even without a superior.â
ââ¦.â
âBesides, we are going to welcome a distinguished guest. It would not be excessive for an entire military unit to move, but if you are leaving your children to train, the country should go with you.â
Yeonwi looked at Yeonhojeong.
âI didnât say it, but I agree with what Via said.â
Mukbi grinned.
âLook, your father says the same thing.â
Kang-ryang scratched his head.
âWasnât it a training trip?â
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
âOkay, letâs go together. Well, if something happens, your archery skills will be of great help.â
âYes?â
At that time, Mo Yong-woo rode his horse and came to the front gate.
âAre you ready?â
ââ¦Roughly.â
Yeon Ho-jeong placed the Gwangryongbu on his acromion.
âWell, Iâm just escorting someone back, so whatâs going to happen? Letâs get back quickly.â
