Episode 375Yu army sortie (5)
âGojeong.â
âAre you here, father?â
It seemed like the meeting was held late. When Yeonwi returned after midnight, a subtle look of fatigue was visible on her face.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
âThank you for your hard work. âJust go in and sleep.â
âBefore that, I have something to say.â
âAre you talking about the departure point?â
âYes.â
Yeonwi sighed.
Parentsâ concerns about their children are not limited by experience. Even if you win ten battles, your worry about your child going out to fight for the eleventh time is no different from the first time.
The same was true for Yeonwi. My worries for my son were the same as before.
However, the person who was always managing his facial expressions was now filled with deep thoughts.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
âAre you the Ink Dragon Club?â
Yeonwi asked in surprise.
âHow do you know that?â
He described the conversation with Mo Yong-woo as is.
Yeonwiâs face hardened.
âChief Tangma?â
âThatâs right.â
For a committee that values norms, Mo Yong-wooâs remarks could not help but be seen as crossing the line somewhat.
But Yeonwi made up her mind. In other words, there were times when Yeonho-jeong would give himself advice or suggest solutions to situations. From that perspective, the words and actions of Mo Yong-woo, who presented the strategy to Mo Yong-gun, were not something to be greatly criticized.
Itâs just that I donât feel good because my blood relatives are involved in that matter.
As if reading Yeonwiâs mind, Yeonhojeong smiled and said.
âCommander Moyong is an outstanding talent. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he is also resourceful. But what trumps them all is character.â
âCharacter.â
âMo Yong-woo is the most white-faced person Iâve ever seen. âExcept for my father, of course.â
Yeonwi smiled bitterly.
âI trust your vision.â
âthank you.â
âThe results of the meeting will be officially announced tomorrow at noon. However, there was an opinion from the officials that it would be better to inform you, the leader of the Uijeonggun, first. Thatâs why I tell you first.â
âI will listen.â
Yeonwi took a deep breath.
âAs you said, the departure location is related to the Black Island Mukryongbu. However, it is not possible to touch the Inkryongbu directly.â
âI thought so. âIf you touch it hastily, a war could break out.â
âOf course, war will not break out anytime soon. Even if a preemptive strike is launched, most issues can be resolved through diplomacy, and only a very small number of cases result in real bloodshed. But thereâs no harm in being careful.â
âThat is correct. So what are the orders to be given to us?â
âDid you know a man named Hong Guan (鴻寬) before that?â
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
âThis is my first time hearing this nameâ¦â
âYes. So do I. âI didnât know anything about him until I heard Hu Gaiâs words.â
After a brief pause, Yeonwi suddenly spoke.
âThe man named Hong Guan is one of Tuwang Yang Chenâs disciples.â
ââ¦!â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face hardened.
âPlease explain in detail.â
âI would like to, but I canât really explain anything about him yet. However, from what Hu Gai found out, he was one of the strongest among Yangcheonâs numerous disciples and was moving in the dark, deliberately not revealing himself to the world.â
Yeon Ho-jeong could not hide his wonder.
âOne of the strongest men? âYouâre Yang Chenâs disciple?â
He was a man who had already lived one life and returned.
In other words, it means that in the past and now, we have some knowledge about things that will happen in the future or about people that the world does not yet know.
But I didnât know anything about the man named Hong Guan. A disciple of Tuwang Yang Chen? Of course, he also fought with his disciples, but Yeon Ho-jeong knew of only four of Yang Cheonâs disciples.
The number four is by no means a large number. However, my father says that I am one of ânumerousâ disciples.
Yeonwi nodded.
âYeah, if you had known, you wouldnât have reacted like that.â
âI had a life-or-death struggle with Yang Chen, killed him, and reigned as the king of the dark island.â
âknow.â
âThe information power of the black island even surpasses the white island in some areas. And in war, if you kill the enemyâs leader, it is common to find the dangerous people under that leader and eliminate them. âI did the same.â
ââ¦.â
âBut I know of four disciples of Yang Chen. Thatâs a number that can never be described as highâ¦.â
âThen itâs one of two things. Either he stayed locked away after Yang Cheonâs death and planned something⦠or he wasnât Yang Cheonâs disciple in the first place.â
ââ¦!!â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face hardened in shock again.
Yeonwi continued.
âActually, I tried to decide the location of the militaryâs expedition this time based on the information you stole from the Mukryongbu. The illegal business carried out by the Mukryongbu was shaking the economy of Gangho, and clans that were not revealed to the world were secretly sucking up the blood of the common people. âI was planning to select the first strike location as such.â
âI expected that too.â
âBut things have changed. Later, it was said that it was very lucky to have found a person named Hong Guan.â
The information power of the later opening of the world is discussed as the peak of the world.
It is said that even Hu Gae was lucky enough to be able to investigate a person named Hong Guan by chance. This was a passage that showed how well a person named Hong Gwan hid himself.
âWhere on earth is Hong Guan doing?â
âHe is an assassin.â
ââ¦yes?â
Yeonwiâs face hardened.
âThe man named Hong Guan is an assassin. But heâs no ordinary assassin. âThey said he was the king of the world of assassins that I, Hugae, and the entire Baekdo martial arts community did not know about.â
ââ¦?â
âAnd surprisingly, it is said that his power is so great that he dominates the world behind Kangho. In other words, he is the master of all assassins in the world and is said to exercise great power in the shadows.â
ââ¦!â
âIt was incredible information. It is even difficult to trust because only the name and relationship with Yangcheon are clear and there is no other detailed information. But⦠Hugae seemed convinced that he truly reigned as the god of the martial arts world.â
Power came into Yeonwiâs eyes.
âThe problem is what comes next. Opening purifies all information collected from all over the world in real time and sends only what must be known to the Murim Alliance. âThe amount of information filtered out is just jaw-dropping.â
âI know.â
âSoldier Zhuge said so. Something unusual is happening in southern Jungwon. âIt is said that the clans that were famous in their own way lost their power at some point, and a series of clans or military families that were destroyed by rebels or bandits began to appear.â
âBandits?!â
âYes. Of course, itâs not just bandits. âThere were local wars between clans and clans, and several famous nobles died of disease or fell off cliffs.â
âSuchâ¦â
âThe problem is that such things are happening so naturally. The midfield is wide. And disease and death can occur at any time. So, even during the opening up until now, I was keeping an eye on what was happening in the south, but I didnât think it was particularly strange.â
Zhuge Mun-ho pointed out something that was thought not strange even in the public domain. I was able to see once again how extraordinary his insight was.
âAnd Hu-gae⦠believes that a person named Hong Guan may have been involved in the natural but clearly visible decline in the power of the Baekdo martial arts group that is occurring in the southern part of the country.â
âHong Gwan⦠Then what will Uijeong-gun do?â
âYes.â
Yeonwi sighed.
âIf there is a clear cause as to why it happened along with the opening of the central plains, we should go to the southern part of the central plains, investigate what it is, find out the person named Hong Guan, and eliminate or arrest him.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes cooled down. SÑará´h the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Prince Yu is literally just Prince Yu. However, the higher-ups are told to investigate the situation, find the cause, even Hong Guan, and eliminate it.
Although it is a task that Yu-gun can take on, it is far beyond Yu-gunâs capabilities. So, it may be said to receive help from openness, but it can be said that it is not a mission suitable for the Uijeonggun.
âIt would be right to send a small number of elites. The number of Uijeong-gun is over 500. âThis is not a matter for the military to handle, but a special operations unit or special agent.â
âIsnât there a special operations unit within Uijeonggun?â
ââ¦!â
Yeonwi sighed.
âYes, the Bonggongs have high regard for the abilities of the Immortal Army. But I also think this is not something the Uijeong County should handle.â
âThen even more soâ¦.â
âThatâs why Iâm even more hoping that Uijeong-gun will take over this task.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face distorted slightly.
âIs it because of fame?â
âItâs not just because of that, but I donât think there is a reason at all.â
Yeonwi is the head of the Byeoksan Yeonga family and a member of the six generations. Of course, its reputation and presence are great.
The problem is that all Bonggongs have a presence and authority that is second to none. Even if a small number of feudal lords come forward to strongly block it, they have no choice but to follow the trend unless it is a major violation of morality.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Yeon-wi, asked.
âLet me ask you just one question. Did Zhuge Army also approve this operation?â
âUnbelievably, he was the first to approve it.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
Yeonwi sighed.
âThatâs why I also couldnât show strong opposition. Itâs not because Iâm friendly with the military. âI think there must be a reason for the military to approve this.â
âOf course.â
âBut no matter how much I think about it, I donât understand this operation. In particular, as Hu Gai said, if Hong Guan is truly a powerful figure in the underworld, finding and eliminating him would be no different from picking a star in the sky.â
ââ¦hmm.â
Yeonwi asked vaguely.
âWhat do you think? Do you think there is a clear reason why the military confidently approved this?â
âI guess so. âI donât know yet.â
âWhoa.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was lost in thought for a moment, nodded.
âNo matter what, if such an order were issued, we would also have to make our own preparations.â
âYou have no shame. âI, too, am a member of the Bonggong clan.â
âno. I am a commander in charge of five hundred and fifty soldiers. âI have doubts and worries, but if itâs an order from superiors, I have to obey it.â
Thatâs what the military is like. Even if an unreasonable order is given, the military is the one that moves first and achieves the order with maximum efficiency.
but.
âIt doesnât make sense.â
A light shadow appeared on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
âIt doesnât make sense. Both Zhuge Jun and Hu Kai know their fatherâs personality. If it was something like this, it seems like they could have given a heads up in advance, so it looks like my father only heard about it at the conference hall.â
At that time, Yeonwi said.
âIs there anything I can help you with?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âThere is nothing special about it. âCan I just ask you one favor?â
âOkay, please speak comfortably.â
âPlease meet Mr. Moyong.â
âMoyong-gun? now?â
âThatâs right.â
âWhat can I do when I meet him?â
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a monotonous tone.
At that moment, Yeonwiâs face hardened like frost.
ââ¦Okay, if thatâs what you really think, then I will do the same.â
After half an examination.
While Mo Yong was drinking tea and looking out the window, he saw a person.
Prince Moyong, who had been looking at him for a while, opened his mouth.
âIs there anyone outside?â
âYes, matriarch.â
âPlease bring the drinking table. A noble person has arrived.â
âyes.â
