Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 20

Episode 20.

Muin’s values (4)

Sacheondanga.

He is a unique martial artist who gained fame throughout the Central Plains by focusing on poison and dark techniques.

Due to the nature of Baekdo, which pursues upright justice and morality, poison and memorization were weapons that were difficult to accept. This is because it is a weapon specialized for assassination rather than fair and square action.

The first family to break that prejudice was the Tang family. They were as harsh and ruthless as their main weapon, but they did not cross the minimum line.

Of course, from Yeonhojeong’s perspective, such history was of no concern to him.

He stroked his solar plexus without realizing it.

It was still vivid. The unpleasant feeling of a cow’s beetle being stuck in my dying chest.

‘Dangwan.’

The vice leader of the Murim League.

A guy like Sagar, who completely sent his body to the underworld while heading for the Three Paths.

flinch!

The hand holding the iron bar put strength into it without me realizing it.

The dark emperor’s instinct to never forget a grudge was awakening.

‘….’

Yeon Ho-jeong controlled his mind.

The other party is not the party. Even if it is a party official, you should not attack someone just because you have a grudge against them.

This was because he was not the Lord of the Black Emperor, but the Prince of the Yan Family. It was forbidden to act hastily unless you at least touched it first.

“Anyway, these people…?”

“Grand Duke Yeonhojeong and Prince Yi Yeonjipyeong of the main family.”

Han Ho-myeong smiled and greeted me.

“Nice to meet you. “It’s none other than Han Ho-myeong.”

It was a brief and simple greeting.

Shinmo’s face hardened slightly.

Although Han Ho-myeong was only a son of another family, this place was still a meeting place for the later leaders of the seven generations. The way you talk may be like that, but you shouldn’t go behind his back and treat him like a subordinate.

It was time for Shinmo to argue.

“I meet you, Daehyeop Han. “This is Yeon Ji-pyeong, the scholar of Yeonga.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong took control with moderation.

Unlike Han Ho-myeong’s arrogant greeting, Yeon Ji-pyeong’s greeting was polite and polite.

Han Ho-myeong burst out laughing.

“It’s a small cooperative. I heard that Byeoksan’s master of science was a very talented martial artist. “Seeing it in person, I don’t think the rumors are true.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled.

“That’s too much praise. “I don’t have that much talent, and I’m nothing compared to my brother.”

People’s eyes naturally turned to Yeon Ho-jeong.

Interest arose on Han Ho-myeong’s face.

“Sohyeop….”

“Shin Daeju.”

Shinmo lowered her head.

“Yes, Archduke.”

“I’m hungry. “Let’s sit down and eat first.”

“All right.”

“Let’s take turns standing. “There is no need to escort us all the way here, so let the rest rest.”

“I follow your orders.”

Shinmo spoke to Han Ho-myeong in a hard voice.

“I’ll go first. May you rest in peace.”

So the Yeon brothers entered the manor with Chang Eung-dae.

Han Ho-myeong’s eyes became dull. The kind smile disappeared before we knew it.

“You mean you can bite even with blunt fangs?”

It was then.

“Warrior Han.”

“Yes, Archduke.”

Dangyangseon, a young man who received Han Ho-myeong’s polite greeting, tilted his head.

“Is that arrogant guy the grand duke of the Yan family?”

“It seems so.”

“Hmm? “Do you have any illness?”

“yes?”

“You look pretty healthy, but the energy you have is so ordinary. “The standard is not very good.”

Ho-myeong Han said clearly.

“The rumor is that the grand duke of the Yeonga family is a typical son of a wealthy father.”

“Ohh?”

“Unlike him, Lee Gongja is evaluated as having more talent than the head of a household at the time.”

“We may be of the same blood, but our talents are polar opposites, right? “That’s fun.”

Han Ho-myeong lowered his head.

“It seems there is no need for you to pay attention, Grand Duke. “It would be best to ignore it.”

“well?”

“yes?”

Dangyangseon shrugged his shoulders.

“At least there is distribution, right? “It’s really not easy to show such foolishness in front of people from the Tang family.”

There is this saying among the martial arts maxims: If you prepare for the poison and memorization of Tangga, you can live ten more years.

There is also a saying that if you bear a grudge against the Murim League, it is difficult to sleep with your feet up, but if you bear a grudge against the Tang family, there is a saying that you should immediately end your life. To that extent, people were afraid of the Tang family’s martial arts and ruthless nature.

“Anyway, we came too fast. “Let’s unpack and take a look at Hapbi.”

“All right.”

The love song has already disappeared from the minds of the two people.

Perhaps because I arrived early, I was able to choose the room I wanted. The servants who had come to the manor in advance and were working guided the group.

Yeon Ji-pyeong glanced at Yeon Ho-jeong.

“Hey…”

“Hmm? why? “Do you have anything to say?”

“Would it be okay?”

“what?”

“Let’s go.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“Why are they doing that?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong held his breath without realizing it.

What do you mean? If the party member next to me had heard what my brother said, he would have been angry.

“Did I do something wrong?”

“yes? Oh no! That’s not it…”

“Hey, Lord Shin. “Did I do something wrong?”

Shinmo said in a polite voice.

“Absolutely not.”

There is absolutely nothing. The words were funny, but Yeon Ji-pyeong couldn’t laugh. Because Shinmo’s face was serious.

It wasn’t because of Yeonhojeong. He was angry at Han Ho-myeong’s arrogant behavior.

Shinmo must have been angry, but she added one more word.

“I think you did a good job.”

“Did I do a good job?”

“That’s right. “They say you can know ten ways of water but not one way of people, but sometimes you can know ten by looking at one.”

“In other words, it’s better not to have anything to do with them?”

“This is the meeting place for the successors of the seven generations. “Even though it is not where you belong, you should be polite to the children of the other family.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said with an amused expression.

“Well, my posture was crooked, but it wasn’t a big mistake.”

“If it had been unintentional, I wouldn’t have said it this way.”

“Did you know?”

Shinmo lowered her head without saying a word.

Yeon Ji-pyeong asked with a puzzled look.

“What?”

“Did you say Han Ho-myeong? “It’s not his intention that he came out so rudely.”

“sure?”

“That guy from Danga ordered it.”

“Yes?!”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“My curiosity is piqued, and I feel like it would hurt my reputation to come forward. In that case, they want to find out something by having a subordinate provoke them.”

“…!”

“Isn’t this a classic move that makes you yawn? “It’s so obvious that it’s boring now.”

“Then you also ignored them?”

“I had no intention of mixing things up from the beginning. But if it comes out like that, why should I get involved?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong exclaimed.

At the same time, I was embarrassed. Wasn’t he feeling anxious for no reason without even knowing it was happening?

Yeon Ho-jeong stroked Yeon Ji-pyeong’s head.

“From that perspective, you are definitely growing up well.”

“Me?”

“okay. I ignored the other person, but you treated me with courtesy, as I learned from my family. That’s not something you can do by learning everything. Especially at your age.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong blushed.

“I’m not like that…”

“That’s what my father said. Tolerating insults is not patience, it is cowardice. “But he told me not to bark at the dog just because it barks.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong cleared his throat.

“I don’t say that the people of the party are absolute dogs…”

“That’s what they say. “Me and Daeju Shin are so judgmental that I can’t live by the rules like you and your father.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Shin Mo and asked.

“Is that so, Lord Shin?”

Shinmo answered with a small smile.

“I think so.”

“Look. Rather, it is easier to ignore the other person. “It is difficult to define anything.”

Confusion appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.

“I don’t know what is.”

“It won’t be difficult. You just have to live as you have learned and as you have done so far. “I wish you could become more flexible, but I don’t want you to abandon who you are now.”

“…Am I not wrong?”

“never. Rather, it is correct and ideal. “There may be many idiots who sarcastically say that this is unrealistic, but they are idiots who will not understand even if they die or wake up that the foundation of this world was built on ideals.”

“Then what about you, brother?”

“me?”

“yes.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a bitter face.

“He’s a nerd who has a hard time distinguishing between dogs and people.”

* * *

Two days passed quickly.

Until the day of the meeting, Yeon Ho-jeong did not leave the door. And it was the same for Yeon Ji-pyeong. Yeon Ho-jeong looked back on his martial arts skills and planned for the future, while Yeon Ji-pyeong worried about his identity.

The later leaders of each samurai family did not arrive until the night before the meeting. It seemed like he was looking around He Fei’s street corner.

There was no further conflict with the party side, with whom there was a bit of a war of nerves on the first day after entering the meeting hall. This is because their accommodations were so far away from each other.

Two days passed peacefully like that.

The morning of the meeting day.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was having breakfast in his room, heard Shinmo’s sound.

[Grand Duke.]

[Speak.]

[The late exponents of the Nangong and Peng families have arrived.]

Flash!

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes opened.

A slightly more mature Byeok Ra-jin-gi appeared in his eyes. A fairly vivid blue light hovered in the dim pupil and then disappeared.

Yeon Ho-jeong got up from his seat and walked towards the open window. It was a room with a nice view and a view of the entire interior of the manor.

His eyes saw a group of people opening the gate and coming in.

‘Namgoong.’

I saw a tall, very handsome man.

He wore an unusual sword on his waist and his expression was confident. He was establishing a prayer so refined that it could be felt even from this distance.

The late-life index of the Namgung family was clear. Even before its appearance, the energy it gave off was similar to Namgung Sanghwa.

But that was out of Yeon Ho-jeong’s interest.

He turned his gaze to look at the two young men. His height was similar to that of Namgoong, but his body and bones were much longer.

‘Panga!’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

Wooooow.

Byeoknajingi, which had settled in the danjeon, instantly traveled through the blood vessels of the entire body. The noble Hyeonmugi climbed up my lumbar spine and cooled my head.

Tsutsutsutsu.

My five senses became more sensitive.

I could feel the sound of birds chirping in the distance and even a speck of dust sticking to my skin in the room.

‘….’

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

‘what? ‘The temperament is completely different?’

To see it accurately, you must also look at the internal air management method. It is necessary to look at the atmosphere of the inner work itself in more detail.

But his temperament was so unique that it seemed meaningless. Panga’s energy was so heterogeneous that there was not even a trace of entanglement with the attackers at the time.

‘That won’t work.’

There are limits to checking from the window like this. Yeon Ho-jeong left his residence in an instant and walked to the main gate of the outer garden.

“hmm? Who is it?”

“Well… I don’t think you’re a servant?”

The later exponents of the Paeng family who saw Yeonhojeong said so. It seemed like he was trying to speak softly, but his voice was as loud as his size.

Thanks to this, everyone’s attention was focused on Yeon Ho-jeong. But Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t care about those stares.

Yeon Ho-jeong, standing next to a tree, folded his arms and watched the reviewers of the Paeng family.

‘also.’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression naturally frowned.

‘I need to check more, but…’

No matter how I look at it, it’s not true.

I had to keep looking just in case, but my sixth sense was telling me. Paenga says no.

Could it be that the leaders of the Panga are different?

My head said it was possible, but my heart was convinced that it wasn’t. As Shinmo said, the Panga seemed to be a family of people who could tell ten by looking at one.

‘….’

What do we do?

In the end, Yeon Ho-jeong made a decision.

‘First of all, I have to look at the famous family. There’s plenty of time. ‘Let’s not think in a hurry.’

It was then.

“…Can’t you hear?”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his gaze to the faint sound of the voice.

It was Nam Gung-hyeon.

“I don’t know who it is, but don’t you think it’s rude to look at someone so intently when you first meet them?”

The late exponents of Panga burst out in laughter.

“haha! Namgoong, there is no need to do that. Because we’re okay. “Isn’t that right, little brother?”

“It’s not like it’s wearing out.”

“Look at that.”

The tone of speech was harsh, but somehow exuded a naivety.

For no reason, Yeon Ho-jeong, who was full of steam, took over.

“Excuse me. “Because you look like someone I know.”

“Uh-huh! Was there anyone else like me? After all, the world is big!”

“older brother. “Could it be because of me?”

“You’re laughing. If he looks like you, he should run away first, you crazy person. “There is no such thing as a mountain enemy.”

“Did you forget? “We are twins.”

“Twins don’t have to look alike, right?”

“…What does that mean?”

Now that I look at them, they seem to be as lively as their size. You can’t fake a personality like that.

“Anyway, who is Sohyeop?”

“It’s called Yeonhojeong.”

“Yeonhojeong?”

“I’m from Byeoksan Yeonga.”

“Ugh! Byeoksan Yeonga!”

For a moment, I could see Yeonhojeong. Namgoong Hyeon’s eyes suddenly change.

Peng Dae-ho, the head of the Peng family, hurriedly ran over and grabbed Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

His finger naturally headed towards Peng Dae-ho’s veins.

“Hahaha! Are you from Yeonga? Nice to see this! “I really wanted to meet someone from Yeonga!”

“hmm?”

“Ahaha! Just keep in mind that this is just personal curiosity! Oh, I’m Paengdaeho! And that bandit standing behind me is none other than Peng Man-ho (彭滿虎), my younger brother!”

I was holding his hand and shaking it so wildly that I almost lost my mind.

Even though I wanted to check my pulse, I couldn’t because I was so distracted. Still, I was able to analyze energy more clearly through my hands.

‘For now, it would be best to put the penga on the back burner.’

It was then.

The front door opened once again.

“oh! Let’s see who else comes! “Who could it be?”

Shake!

The door opened and a brother and sister came in accompanied by a group of guards.

Namgoonghyun’s eyes widened. The Peng brothers were mesmerized.

Although the young man was still a young man, the beauty of the woman was truly amazing. Even though she was not wearing very luxurious clothes, her beauty that brightened up the surroundings was overwhelming.

Namgoonghyun muttered without realizing it.

“Zinc?”

“uh?!”

Zhuge Yan pointed with his hand in the direction where the group was.

It was when Namgoonghyeon smiled slightly and raised his hand.

“Jeong-ah!”
