Chapter 572

Episode 572The shadow was dark (4)

Mo Yong-gun and Eon Ja-bang, who entered Myeongyang County near Chengdu, Sichuan Province, headed straight to the large camp.

There were a lot of people on base. Even though it was still bright, most people drank alcohol with their food.

“Hmm.”

Prince Moyong quietly expressed his admiration.

“It’s still the same. The taste and aroma are strong. “How long has it been since I tasted Sichuan food?”

Eonjabang sipped tea in silence.

Prince Moyong picked up the bottle.

“Aren’t you going to have a drink?”

“It’s okay.”

“You seem like a hard person.”

Mo Yong-gun filled his cup.

The aroma wafting from the glass was subtle and sweet.

“I’m Geomnamchun. “You’ve heard it too, right?”

“Isn’t it one of Sichuan’s famous wines?”

“I tried a lot of alcohol every time I stopped by in Sacheon, but Geomnamchun was perfect for my taste. “You can drink it alone or with food.”

Moyong-gun coolly emptied his glass.

Eonjabang frowned.

“Is it okay to sleep in a situation where you don’t know when something will happen?”

“Why should I worry when you are here?”

He was a man with an easy pace. Eonjabang looked out the window and sipped tea.

Prince Moyong asked right away.

“What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean the air.”

Mo Yong-gun smiled and filled his glass again.

“After entering Sacheon, the air felt strangely stuffy. Did you feel that way too?”

It wasn’t because of the weather or temperature.

Eonjabang nodded slightly.

“It’s stuffy, wet and sticky.”

“It’s truly amazing. “Your senses are extremely sensitive.”

“I felt the air had changed, but I don’t know the cause.”

The streets were full of life and smiles were on people’s faces.

It may be similar in other places, but in particular, Sichuan people rarely moved to other regions during their lifetime. At first glance, the Sacheon region, which formed a huge basin, seemed isolated from other regions.

Whenever foreign powers from the north or west attacked the central plains, they always tried to penetrate Sacheon, but not many powers actually succeeded. As a result, Sacheon actually has a history of being destroyed by enemy invasions.

This was the reason why people’s faces were full of composure. Their lives were more stable than those of people in other parts of the central plains.

“Look around.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.

“The faces of Sichuan people are full of composure. “This is because there is little history of the entire region falling to enemy invasion.”

“….”

“That’s why it’s dull, but at the same time, once it collapses, it’s bound to take a long time to restore this atmosphere.”

“I think so.”

“In other words, no one in Sacheon is reluctant to make a fuss that would affect the lives of the people. “The moment the composure disappears from their faces, outsiders can sense that a great disaster has occurred in Sacheon.”

“hmm.”

“However, if the air is this stuffy, these people will also be feeling a certain amount of anxiety, unlike their faces on the outside.”

Prince Moyong filled his glass and continued speaking.

“There is no atmosphere where a fight is imminent. “There is no tension like that knife edge.”

“I agree.”

“Nevertheless, in this strangely stuffy air, there is a seemingly invisible sense of anxiety in the composure on the faces of the common people…”

“As if.”

Eonjabang’s eyes were sharp.

“You seem to be afraid of murderers or robbers.”

“I saw it clearly.”

Moyong-gun stroked his chin. After not trimming my beard for a few days, it became quite rough.

“Rather than the tension of battle, it’s closer to the tension that threatens people’s lives.”

Both men lived each day in a fierce battlefield.

The battlefield is not just one where swords are wielded and blood and flesh drip.

Prince Moyong worked hard to understand the daily changing situation in the political whirlpool, and Eonjabang had to deal with all kinds of information and fight against invisible ghosts to perfect his martial arts skills.

That’s why he knows how to read the atmosphere. You can notice signs of worry and anxiety on people’s faces.

“The atmosphere is especially different from when I came in the past. “The difference is really noticeable.”

Moyong-gun emptied his glass.

“Maybe Yeon Ho-jeong and his group have already noticed and are running around here and there.”

Eonjabang, who glanced at Moyonggun, asked.

“Is he that great?”

Moyong-gun chuckled.

“You saw it all from the side, right? “I end up drinking water because of him.”

“I saw it, but I don’t know yet. “I wonder if that little boy really has a talent so great that he can debate the world.”

“It’s a talent…”

Moyong nodded slowly.

“Yes, if it’s a talent, it can be a talent. “It depends on how far you look at the scope of talent.”

“Are you saying it’s not talent in your opinion?”

“Given that he was born with an innate sense, it can certainly be said to be a great talent.”

Moyong smiled bitterly and filled his glass again. He was a good drinker of strong alcohol.

“That guy is good at identifying weaknesses.”

“What if it’s a weakness?”

“It means you can instinctively see through the weakest part of your opponent. “From small martial arts competitions to big situations.”

Eonjabang frowned.

“That doesn’t make sense.”

“Among those who fought against that guy Yeonhojeong, there were many who were stronger than him.”

“….”

“As you know, as the level of martial arts increases, the gap between moves becomes larger. “There are not many people who can beat a superior expert with mental strength and fighting sense.”

“I agree.”

“What’s more, when you break through the barrier of infinite origin, the difference becomes so wide that it’s difficult to do anything about it with your mental power or combat power.”

“That’s true, assuming that both sides don’t let their guard down.”

Moyong-gun chuckled.

“yes. Any game is over if you let your guard down. “Isn’t this the world where you can suffer if you let your guard down, even if it’s not just one move, but two or three moves?”

“….”

“But he managed to defeat even the unwary enemy.”

“How on earth is that possible?”

“Because it was war.”

“…?”

“It may sound like a play on words, but that’s how he fights. “Even in a one-on-one situation, Yeon Ho-jeong does not consider it to be a fight between two people or a matter of life or death.”

Moyonggun’s eyes sparkled with fire.

“To him, every fight is war. War does not discriminate between means and methods, and one should not hesitate to exploit the opponent’s weaknesses. “Even if you can’t see a weakness, war means you have to create it on purpose and attack it.”

“…!”

“That guy has gone too far with those methods. And that temperament is not limited to fighting.”

“….”

“Whether it’s a power war, politics, or anything else, he knows how to use any means to turn the situation to his team’s advantage.”

Eonjabang shook his head.

“It still doesn’t sink in.”

“There’s no need to ask. “You won’t be fighting him anytime soon.”

Eonjabang’s eyes narrowed.

“That makes it sound like if I fight him, I’m sure I’ll lose.”

“There is nothing more meaningless than saying that victory is a must. But you’re right. Considering the possibilities, I think the odds of you defeating Yeon Ho-jeong are infinitely low. “Whether it’s martial arts or politics.”

“….”

“There’s nothing to hurt your pride. “I also suffered a few hardships because of him.”

A bitter smile appeared on Mo Yong’s face.

“He is one of the few geniuses that I admit is better than me in every way. I rarely lose my pride when evaluating others. But in front of that guy, I had no choice but to give up.”

“….”

“What can we do? Even if it hurts your pride, you have to admit what you have to admit. “If I don’t admit that he’s better than me in every way, does that mean he’s really worse than me?”

“…That’s not true.”

“yes. So I admitted it. “I was boiling inside, but after acknowledging it, I felt at ease.”

Eonjabang, who was quietly looking at Moyong, asked as if throwing a question.

“Have you given up?”

“what?”

“You said that in order to achieve your dream goal, Yeonhojeong must disappear.”

“That is correct. “Not immediately.”

“Can you surpass a genius whose capabilities are greater than yours?”

Moyong-gun smiled.

“Exploiting weak points is not exclusive to Yeonhojeong.”

“…!”

“If you see a weakness, you should go in without hesitation. If there is no weak point, you should create one and destroy it to shake the opponent. “Isn’t this what Yeon Ho-jeong is good at?”

“….”

“I learned a lot from that guy. Also, if the mountain you have to climb is just a hill in your neighborhood, how much sense of accomplishment will you feel if you conquer it?”

Moyong-gun turned his head to the window.

His eyes looked strangely vague as he looked at the world outside the window.

“You have to clear away, break down, and jump over various obstacles in order to know that the light at the place you finally reach is truly warm.”

It was something I could sympathize with. Eonjabang also nodded and agreed with what he said.

Moyong shrugged his shoulders.

“But let’s put those thoughts aside for now. In fact, if they are allies, the presence of Yeon Ho-jeong is a very reassuring force. And he also thought that my existence was okay, so he must have called me here.”

“I guess so.”

“You will hear from him soon.”

Prince Moyong raised his glass.

My face turned red as I slowly got drunk. Meanwhile, his eyes were sparkling like starlight.

“There’s no way he went straight to the party gate… If nothing else happened, he would have been training with the government by now to find out what’s going on in Sacheon.”

* * *

“I guess so.”

“….”

The documents were so clean that it was hard to believe they were kept in an abandoned village.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who read all the documents, nodded.

“There was a lot of rudeness.”

Sreuk.

Yeon Ho-jeong pointed out Gichung’s blood.

“Whoa!”

Gichung slowly stood up and moved his limbs around. At about half o’clock, my body stiffened and I could not move. Even if you were a climax expert, you couldn’t help but feel stiff.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Paeyul.

Pae-yul and Hwang Seok-tae released the demonic power of the open islands that were on their knees.

Yeon Ho-jeong gave power to Gi-chung.

“Inevitably, the suppression was carried out harshly. “I don’t ask for forgiveness, but I will offer a clear apology.”

If he is the head of the Uijeonggun, he can be said to be a high-ranking official in the Murim Alliance. He was even the one who was dispatched to the Mukryongbu as a symbol of the alliance between the two men.

Gichung smiled bitterly.

“no. From the perspective of an algebraist, I could think of it that way.”

“I’m just grateful for your understanding.”

No matter what, I couldn’t help feeling upset. However, Ki-chung was not a clumsy person who mixed official affairs with private affairs just because he was in a bad mood.

“Whatever the reason.”

Yeon Ho-jeong waved the document.

“Several Buntas, including the Samhap Bunta, were already aware of the existence of the paradise elements and were investigating them, and the reason they failed to report it to the higher-ups was because of anxiety that there might be people connected to them even within the open space… Can I understand it this way?”

“That’s right.”

Then the officer said:

“Was there no way to contact Bangju or Hugae directly?”

Gichung lowered his head.

“there is. However, as I said, we could not rule out the possibility that information was leaked during contact.”

“hmm.”

“I also had no choice but to be cautious as the investigation was risking my life and death.”

Gichung sighed.

“Several high-ranking officials in Sichuan Province are also involved. “If any information leaks… things will become really difficult.”

The atmosphere of the group became somber.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked.

“Whatever the reason, we need Samhap Bunta to help us.”

“You mean this? However, it would be better to be a little more cautious. “If you want a complete strike.”

“It is impossible to strike all at once. Rather, considering the safety of people’s lives, it would be better to raise awareness first.”

“yes?”

“If we wait too long to catch them all at once, only innocent civilians will get hurt. “Maybe something outrageous is happening at this very moment, right?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.

“That gentleman must have arrived soon.”

“yes?”

“The Moyong family must have entered Sacheon. Please mobilize all your networks to determine their location. And pick up the branches of Paradise near Chengdu.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.

“I need to see some blood starting today.”
