Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 12
Episode 12.
Activating the Four Gods (2)
One month later.
“Wow! older brother! Look over there! “Isn’t that carriage really big?”
“I see.”
“Oh my god, I’ve never seen such a big and fancy carriage! Anhui Province is definitely more pleasing to the eye than Jiangsu Province!”
“Is that so?”
“omg! older brother! Did you just see it?! That carriage is so small, but so fast! “How can there be a carriage like that?”
“I know.”
“Let’s take a ride on that carriage later! yes?”
“I guess so.”
“Hehe, that’s right! “Did you promise, brother?”
“OK.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face was very flushed.
It was the first time in his life that he had set foot on a foreign land. Anhui Province is adjacent to Jiangsu Province, where Yanjia is located, but it is different in many ways, from climate to culture.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was one of excitement as she looked at her younger brother who was so excited.
“Do you like it?”
“sure! Are you not feeling well, brother? “Isn’t this your first time in Anhui Province?”
I must have been there a hundred times more.
“Actually, I want to visit the whole world. I want to see a wider world. “I’ve always been curious about how people in other regions live.”
It’s all there.
The climate is different, the culture is different, and the appearances are different, but in the end, all people are the same. A good guy will smile and bear it even if he gets stabbed in the back, and a bad guy will get angry even if he gets treated badly.
In the world that Yeon Ho-jeong saw, people were like that.
“Um… and.”
“ok?”
“It’s better to come out with my brother, hehe.”
The sight of him smiling and scratching his head is quite cute.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, which was looking at Yeon Ji-pyeong with a smile, gradually became distorted. Because I suddenly remembered my father.
‘I really don’t know you.’
After hearing the answer from the bamboo forest, my father glared at himself for a long time and then returned to his room.
I thought he must have been angry because his tone was harsh, but the next day he called me into his room and said this.
‘Now that I think about it differently, I feel uneasy about sending Jipyeong alone. Of course, that goes for you too. However, you are already eighteen and I think you are old enough to do your part. If you promise not to cause any trouble, I will send you with Jipyeong.’
It’s a place I don’t want to go to, but it’s definitely uncomfortable to just let Jipyeong go. Moreover, isn’t he himself at the core of the conflict between the two families? I also didn’t want to burden my younger brother.
‘If you don’t want to cause trouble there, I don’t want to do that either.’
‘Even if they start a fight, be patient.’
‘I can’t promise you that.’
‘I say it again. Tolerating insults is not patience, it is cowardice. However, just because a dog barks, people should not follow suit. Act after determining whether the opponent is a human or an animal. Do you understand?’
‘….’
‘How come there is no answer?’
‘What can I say… I’m also a poor person, so I have patience…’
Yeon Ho-jeong spent three days training in Mabo. If I didn’t have patience, it would have been difficult to endure.
Then I had to come to Anhui much sooner than planned. This was because there was a strict order from my father to go ahead and adapt to the climate and learn what harmony is by forming relationships with the late exponents who came first.
‘He is such a strange person.’
I thought he was a hard person who valued the law, but it seemed like he was dealing with this situation emotionally.
Still, Yeon Ho-jeong understood his father. In any case, it was understandable that you would be angry because your son tried to take a different path from what you had hoped for.
‘Well, it’s also a good opportunity.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes burned brightly.
‘I can check.’
Even if my relationship with my father was a little strained, I wouldn’t have come if I didn’t have anything to gain from this meeting. Because you can do many other things during that time.
There is one reason why he obediently participated in the meeting.
‘Can we understand the enemy’s true nature?’
This latter-day index meeting was also a meeting attended by a large number of successors who would lead the family in the future.
If the enemy was among the Seven Great Seals, there was a high possibility that he would know that the successor would also attack the Yeonga. Even if that is not the case, there may be similarities between true energy and martial arts.
‘First of all, Namgung and Moyong Dangga are excluded.’
During my training with Baekdo, those three families were the ones I saw a lot of in order to defeat Saeumgyo. And he never felt any similarity between the masters of the three families and the martial arts skills of his enemies.
Then there are three remaining families.
‘Peng family, Zhuge family, and Ming family. ‘You have to keep an eye on these three.’
“older brother?”
“huh?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong asked with an anxious face.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“You’re uncomfortable? what?”
“No, just…”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled. It seemed like his expression wasn’t good when he remembered the evil beast of extinction.
“There is no inconvenience at all. “I’m excited too.”
In many ways.
“Hehe, then shall we find a place to stay first?”
“It’s good.”
At that time, a heavy voice was heard.
“Aren’t you going any further today?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong tensed her neck without realizing it. It felt like my stomach was pounding at the low, heavy voice.
Yeon Ho-jeong answered.
“I think so.”
“All right. “We will look into accommodations for you, so please wait a moment.”
The person showing courtesy with his sword was a middle-aged prosecutor who must have just turned 40.
It was Shinmo (申摹), the Great Lord of Changeung. He was the head of Yeonga’s proud Chang Eung University and a top expert known as one of the best prosecutors in Gangdong.
“No way. “Because I have decided where to go.”
“yes?”
“I’m going to Choseongru (楚聲樓).”
The place where the group was located was Hua County, Anhui Province. The northeastern part of Hwahyeon was called Ogang (烏江), and it was famous for the legend of the four-faced song of King Seocho Pae (西楚霸王).
Choseongru was a main tower with a clear view of the Ogang area. He was also a baseman that was unknown to anyone other than Anhui.
Shinmo asked as if he was surprised.
“Do you know the castle tower?”
“huh.”
“It’s a place you don’t know about unless you’re from Anhui….”
“I just heard about it. By the way, does Daeju Shin know this place?”
“Yes, it’s not far from Jiangsu Province, so I remember stopping by a few times.”
“Then let’s get directions.”
“All right.”
Shinmo’s atmosphere was different from Kangyoon’s in many ways.
His martial arts skills were higher than Kang Yun’s and he also seemed more cautious. As a warrior of the royal family, he was thorough in the division of construction and construction and did his best in his duties.
There are many people who are stronger in martial arts than him, but there are not many people who are as trustworthy as him. That was the reason why the Yeonwi sent him with his brother.
In this way, the Yeon brothers, their mother, and twenty people from Changeungdae moved to Choseongru.
“Wow!”
The castle tower was quite crowded. Even when the weather gets cold, there are many people who come and go all year round to soak in the legend of King Chopae.
“Let’s just grab a room and rest. “There’s still time left, so we’ll leave in three or four days.”
“yes.”
A group dressed in women’s clothing to support the Chosunru.
However, Chang Eung-dae thoroughly guarded the brothers. A total of 21 people, including Daeju, were divided into three shifts.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who came out holding an iron bar, clicked his tongue.
“Why don’t you guys take a break too?”
“it’s okay.”
It’s hard.
“Then go through the trouble.”
In any case, they are the ones who received orders from the head of the family. Yeon Ho-jeong did not try to persuade them.
“Well, somewhere around here would be good.”
Boom boom.
Yeonhojeong holds the center of the iron bar and turns it back and forth.
Shinmo’s eyes lit up when she saw Yeon Ho-jeong like that.
‘be used to.’
The skill of spinning with one hand was evident. It was as if he had been practicing martial arts for several years.
‘Didn’t you originally use a sword?’
Even after coming here, Yeon Ho-jeong did not stop training. However, all the training was just ungongjosik and slow fist type, and I had never seen any batsman training.
thud!
The sound of the iron bar hitting the ground was quite harsh.
“Let’s go.”
Yeon Ho-jeong broke the iron bar with his toe.
Tooung!
The iron bar rotated and made a threatening sound.
Hold the center of the iron bar with both hands and swing it as if creating a whirlwind. The cold, dry air escaped the iron bars.
“Sigh.”
thud!
With a strong advance, Yeon Ho-jeong unleashed his battalion skills in earnest.
Hehehe!
Shinmo’s eyes, who were quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, grew bigger and bigger.
Boom! Buuuuung! Faba Park!
A skill that becomes faster and more sophisticated over time.
He was already skilled at handling heavy weapons that weighed less than 20 pounds. By applying centrifugal force at the right time, the speed was increased and the necessary parts were cut off, and it was surprisingly smooth and beautiful.
A smile appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
‘It also works.’
When I came here, I did not practice bongjutsu, but instead trained Yeonga’s 13 martial arts techniques, the basic martial arts method of Yeonga. This was because I wanted to ensure flexibility and the body’s center of gravity.
It was as expected. Finally, the Whirlwind Blade method was showing its full force. If I put it on the body just a little longer, it would be okay to use it in real life.
‘Okay, it’s a step I took.’
Wow!
Byeoklajingi held the body stable. The stick that stabbed the air was sharp and the stick that pushed down was heavy. The spinning technique that sucked in air was like a flowing river.
Shinmo, who was impressed by his ability, which was much better than expected, was soon surprised.
Green onions! phut! Paaang!
The bongsul, which had been smooth as an unending river, became hard.
The iron bar was continuously striking the air. Bongsul, which seemed like a beautiful dance move, suddenly became clunky.
“It’s too hard.”
Shinmo looked to the side. It was Yang Heum (楊欽) of the Chang-eung group. He, who was supposed to be on duty at dawn, came out and watched Yeonhojeong’s training.
“The road is gradually collapsing. “I don’t think you’re tired, but I think you’re not used to that technique.”
“Do you see it?”
“yes? Oh yes. Of course, it seems like a high-level sword technique, but that’s how it is…”
“The Grand Duke clearly understands sword art.”
“yes?!”
“It looks clunky, but there aren’t any unnecessary movements, right?”
Yang Heum couldn’t understand.
“Are you talking about that strange movement?”
“Are you saying that you can only see the tone of the baton technique and not the true energy contained in the iron bar?”
Shinmo’s eyes deepened.
“The Grand Duke is currently using a martial arts technique that most effectively destroys the enemy’s body. Taking advantage of Jinki’s characteristics. So it has no choice but to look clunky.”
“….”
“Perhaps that martial arts technique was originally derived from a fast and passionate mind technique.”
Adjust the flow of Bongsul according to the characteristics of Naegongsimbeop?
Yang Heum couldn’t believe it. It was difficult even for the first-class person himself.
Shinmo’s eyes wavered.
‘Did you have that kind of talent?’
In fact, it was difficult for me to believe what I said to Yang Heum. This is because he is naturally doing things that the current Archduke’s level would not even dare to attempt.
‘Isn’t blood really going somewhere?’
After a while.
“Whoa whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped training.
“Okay, this is fine.”
“Your Majesty.”
“ok?”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head. Yang Heum was there.
“It’s called Chang-eung Il Jo Yang-heum.”
“however?”
“If you don’t mind, why don’t you try practicing without me and my internal skills?”
It was an incredibly bold presentation.
Shinmo’s expression hardened.
“Yangheum! Are you saying that this person is being rude to the Grand Duke? “Go back to your place right away…”
“That’s good.”
Shinmo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in surprise.
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed and twirled the iron bar.
“I was already in need of someone, so it’s better for me.”
“It’s an honor. “I will prepare it right away.”
“good.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“You’re the grand duke, so you can’t just look into the situation?”
* * *
next day.
As he looked around the castle tower, Zhuge Yan’s face was filled with admiration.
“Kya! That’s amazing! After all, it was worth coming in advance!”
“Nunim.”
“ok?”
“There are a lot of people. Please use your words…”
“What’s wrong with my words?” “You say good things are good, but what’s wrong with that?”
“Phew, so you keep getting caught up in incidents, don’t you? Just like those guys yesterday…”
“It’s okay. “Because they don’t know that I am the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family.”
“That’s why it’s even more of a problem! It would have been better to tie the knot clearly…”
“Look at how soft that guy’s child is. “Be a little bolder, huh?”
“Don’t you think that’s too insensitive? And why are you judging men and women in that matter?”
“Hey, stop fussing and let’s eat quickly. The belly skin will stick to the back…”
That was then.
thud!
“Kaaaaak!”
A bloody scream rang out from the back of the castle tower.
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes were round.
“You heard it too, right?”
“…Oh no.”
“You heard it, man!”
“I didn’t hear you! “I didn’t hear you!”
“Uh, then you stay here.”
“please! “What kind of accident are you trying to cause again?”
“This damn kid? hey! Are you okay with hearing that scream? What if the main character of that scream was a kind and beautiful woman? ok?!”
“It sounds like a lot of phlegm, but…”
“Anyway, it seems like something unusual has happened! “I’ll have to check it out myself just to be sure!”
“sister! uh? Are you really going? “Sister! Sister!!”
