Episode 337Aim for the brightness (5)
âAre you here?â
âyes.â
Song Guk-hyunâs eyes widened.
âax?â
Except for his tall stature with an incredibly huge ax hanging on his shoulder, he is a slim young man with a bachelor-like style who does not match that bloody ax at all.
âWhat is this?â
Zhuge Munho is a soldier of the Murim Alliance.
The military position is the highest position that can exercise more authority than civil servants depending on the situation. In wartime situations, it is sometimes considered more important than the head of the organization.
Moreover, it is the Murim Alliance. It may be a hasty statement, but it is no exaggeration to say that Zhuge Liang was actually the best practitioner of the Murim Alliance.
But how dare you come into the residence of such a person, openly carrying that hideous axe?
Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Song Guk-hyeon.
ââ¦!!â
At that moment, Song Guk-hyun almost turned his head without realizing it.
He didnât put any special effort into his eyes, nor did he radiate murderous energy like Zhuge Literary a moment ago, but his gaze was so intense that it was difficult to face him.
Those eyes seemed to penetrate the personâs heart and analyze every detail. This was the second time in Song Guk-hyeonâs fifty-five years of life that he had seen such mysterious and intimidating eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
A smile whose meaning is difficult to understand. Nevertheless, Song Guk-hyun did not turn his head until the end. It was a matter of pride for Song Guk-hyun, a man before he was a tycoon in the commercial world.
âYou have a guest.â
Grrrr.
The air in the room seems to be vibrating strongly.
Even though the voice was not very low, it felt like the air was shaking. Just hearing the voice felt like all the muscles in my body were losing strength.
âWhat kind of young manâ¦?!â
An unusual presence. Song Guk-hyeonâs palms, which were covered by his sleeves, began to sweat.
âSay hello. They say this person is Jangju Song Guk-hyeon, the head of the Jungwon Battlefield. âHe is a giant who plays a central role in the economy of the Central Plains of his time.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
âThis is a great person coming.â
thud!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was leaning the Gwangryongbu against the wall, gave a brief hug.
âMy name is Yeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of the Gangdong Yeon family, and he is leading the Murim Leagueâs Murimsa Army. âIt is an honor to meet you, Master Jang.â
It was a fairly formal greeting. He was even more polite because he was Zhuge Literaryâs guest rather than the other personâs status.
Song Guk-hyeon opened his mouth.
My lips were strangely trembling.
âSong Mora Hao leads the midfield battlefield. âI am even more honored to meet the famous general.â
âThatâs too much praise.â
That was the end of the greeting.
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Zhuge Mun-ho.
âI didnât know a Chinese guest was coming. âIâll come back next time.â
âNo, itâs okay. âI came in because the public conversation with Master Jang is over.â
âIs that so?â
âBy the way, what brought you here?â
A faint look of puzzlement appeared on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
He would know that his visit was also due to public affairs. However, asking a question in front of an outsider meant that it was okay to discuss Maengâs official duties here.
âIâm on my way after receiving news from my intelligence advisor. âI heard that you reported it to the soldier first.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes lit up.
âProvincial command assistant?â
ââ¦!â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face was filled with surprise.
âAre you okay?â
What he meant was whether it would be okay to talk about Shinhwaism here.
Yeonho would have never asked such a question as he was quick-witted. Since it was such a serious issue, they probably wanted to check it one more time.
Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.
âLord Jang will be staying in Meng for a few days.â
âyes?â
âI think you need to have a lot of conversations with me.â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his gaze to Song Guk-hyeon.
Song Guk-hyunâs eyes deepened.
âReallyâ¦â
The young masterâs eyes changed as he looked down at himself.
From mysterious yet intimidating eyes to extremely indifferent, murderous eyes that donât even feel cold.
âYou could kill a person with just your eyes.â
Song Guk-hyeon inwardly stuck his tongue out.
Although he was as disciplined as anyone else, it was extremely burdensome to look into Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes. If it werenât for the internal energy trained through curing techniques and decades of experience, I would have been intimidated by now and was in a cold sweat.
âokay.â
âNow that you are here too, Master Jang, I will tell you what brought you all the way to Ye.â
Zhuge Mun-ho described in detail his conversation with Song Guo-hyeon a little while ago.
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
âHeâs an old man from the Jwapojeongsa⦠It was worth it for the soldier to throw a bet.â
âThank you for understanding.â
Song Guk-hyun listened to their conversation in silence.
I wasnât upset or my pride was hurt. Looking at the brutality felt in the conversation between these two, I could see how serious this issue was.
I was just worried.
âNo matter how much I am the head of the Central Plains, they are discussing top secret information about Maeng in front of me who has no direct connection to this matter.â
Jwapojeongsa adult? Unknown organization?
It was a situation that left that problem behind. What mattered now was what they thought of themselves.
âDo you want money? Do you want to keep me at all? Orâ¦â
Do you want my life?
Even Song Guk-hyeon, who is quick-thinking, found it difficult to analyze the current situation. This was the reason why I quietly listened to the conversation between the two people, even though I was in a position where no one could help me.
âThis matter should not be considered in the same way as the Twelve Warlords Jinmu incident. Although it is acting alone, its location is its location, so it cannot be easily touched.â
âThe real problem is if he attacks the Murim Alliance. âIn the first place, there is no physical evidence that he is a member of the Shinhwa Church, so if they decide to come in and argue, we will not be able to respond.â
âHow much damage do you expect if you catch him?â
âI am Jeong Sam-poomâs provincial commander. At that level, there are greater restrictions on movement than lower-ranking officials. âIâm sure after reporting it to the higher-ups, even the provincial commander will step in.â
âIf the provincial commander steps forwardâ¦.â
âThere will be an emergency at the Ogun Provincial Government.â
âThat means even the imperial family will be involved.â
âI think there is a greater than 90 percent chance of that happening.â
Song Guk-hyeonâs face hardened.
Capturing the provincial commander? Youâre even saying such dangerous things? And in front of yourself, an outsider?
He sensed that the situation was much more dangerous than he thought.
âWe are not yet sure that he is from the Shinhwa Church. âI guess weâll have to wait and see a little more.â
âBut we have to assume the worst case and act accordingly.â
âThat is also true.â
âI have nothing to say about that. âI should have anticipated the scope to some extent, but I had no idea that it would have even caught the provincial commander.â
âHow can you say itâs your fault? âNo matter how extraordinary your abilities are, you cannot know what you have not seen and heard.â
âWhatever the reason, it is no wonder what kind of public office they are sitting in now.â
âI think so too.â
âLet me summarize the current situation. âThe top priority is not to kill the provincial commanding officer, but to prevent him from entering the Murim Alliance, right?â
âThatâs accurate. âWe need to put out the fire first.â
âI donât want to take a one-dimensional approach. âIt is urgent to find out his identity first, we must prepare accordingly, and we must go one step further and devise a plan to reach their roots.â
âDo you have any plans in mind?â
âNot yet. But before we can make that plan, there is something we need to take care of.â
âprocess?â
âyes.â
âTell me.â
ââ¦.â
âwhy? âIs this something difficult to talk about?â
âThatâs right. âI also need to sort things out because I only came up with this idea after coming here.â
âYour creativity and innovation have always amazed me. âI will agree or reject after listening, so please speak without hesitation.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was silent for a moment, spoke about what he was thinking.
ââ¦!!â
Zhuge Liâs eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
âIn order to properly deal with them, you must not be distracted. No, rather, I think it is a miracle in itself that we have brought this fight to this point.â
ââ¦.â
âI think⦠yes.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes deepened.
âCommander Yeon.â
âPlease speak.â
âDo you really think thatâs possible?â
âI guess Iâll have to go and see him in person.â
âThe opponent is never easy. And I have to think of just one thing. âIsnât it for no reason that we brought up the topic of the Three Religions at the Buddhist Council?â
âI know.â
ââ¦.â
âIf you agree, I will go and find out for myself.â S~eaÊá´h the NovelÆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âIâm not doubting your abilities. But⦠if he is also connected to the Shinhwa Church, what do you plan to do then?â
âIf I see the slightest connectionâ¦.â
ââ¦.â
âI plan to kill him by any means necessary.â
âThe opponent is strong.â
âI said I would do whatever it takes. âI trust you will understand what I mean.â
Zhuge Wenhu let out a sigh.
âIs it that much? âThe fear of the three religions?â
âyes.â
âYou have no idea how surprised I was when I found out that the evil enemies of my Shinhwa religion had infiltrated the government office. However, the enemyâs strength is not yet fully understood. No matter how much I assume the worst, I have to be able to infer it to some extentâ¦â
âPlease trust me. âIf they attack all at once, even now, the midfield will become hell.â
ââ¦.â
Zhuge Mun-ho, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with confused eyes, suddenly turned his gaze to Song Guo-hyeon.
At that moment, Zhuge Wenhoâs eyes sparkled.
âHey Commander Yeon.â
âPlease speak.â
âDo you really mean that you came up with that plan when you came here?â
âThatâs right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong also turned his attention to Song Guk-hyeon.
The hidden powers of the Murim Alliance are watching them. Honest tension was revealed on Song Guk-hyunâs face.
After a while, Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
âIf Lord Jang allows it⦠then letâs go on an adventure.â
âDo not worry.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled at Song Guk-hyeon.
âArenât I a master of negotiation?â
Cold sweat formed on Song Guk-hyeonâs forehead.
At that moment, he felt both anxious that he had come to a place he shouldnât be and confident that the adventure of a lifetime was about to begin.
* * *
That night.
âhmm?â
Moyong, who was drinking tea, suddenly opened his eyes.
Moyong Yeonhwa asked with a puzzled look.
âWhy are you doing this, father?â
ââ¦.â
âfather?â
âYeonhwa.â
âAh yes.â
âI guess weâll have to postpone this conversation for a while.â
âyes?â
âA quite troublesome guest has arrived.â
A troublesome customer? Who on earth?
Moyong-gun frowned and stood up.
âHow could he do that at this late hour? âI didnât think we would meet again for a while.â
He looked out the window.
hook.
They were two people who recognized each other accurately, even dozens of miles away on a dark night.
Mo Yong-gunâs eye light, which was like a thunderbolt, and Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes, which were as hard as steel, collided, sparks flying in the air.
Prince Moyong, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, stretched out his hand towards the wall.
Phew. Slam!
He left the room, holding the treasured sword.
