“They say it has departed.”
“I see.”
Eonjabang asked as he watched Moyong leisurely drinking tea.
“Can I ask one more question?”
“However much.”
“I know you did it on purpose because it benefited you.”
“hmm? “What does that mean?”
Eonjabang’s eyebrows twitched.
“The commercial flight. “Didn’t you originally say kill all the merchants?”
“Oh, you mean that?”
Prince Moyong asked as if he were puzzled.
“But why is that?”
A scary person.
Eonjabang almost said that without even realizing it.
The dead commercial team members were no longer in Mo Yong’s mind. No, I didn’t even care from the beginning.
Innocent merchants were killed just because they were on sight. Of course, the Moyong family will benefit enormously from this, but isn’t it normal to at least express condolences?
Eonjabang did not bother to hide what he felt.
“Do you feel any guilt?”
“What guilt? Ah, the commercial flight?”
“exactly.”
Mr. Moyong spoke clearly.
“They are just casualties of war. “If you put your mind to that, you can’t even dream of achieving success or fame in the martial arts world.”
“….”
“You should also know. “When you drive a big carriage, there are bugs that get crushed by the wheels and die.”
A shadow fell on Eonjabang’s face.
He made a deal with Prince Moyong. However, it was a relationship no different from that between a ruler and a subject.
In other words, no matter what Prince Moyong does, we have no choice but to follow him. Whether he does something righteous or a mean thing.
‘That’s scary.’
I knew he was a person who could be more ruthless than anyone else if necessary, but I never thought it would be like this.
Mo Yong smiled bitterly.
“I thought it was time for you to know that much.”
“That’s not what I’m curious about.”
“hmm?”
“What I’m saying is, was it really necessary to kill him? “It’s not like there’s any way to take down Guizhou Store while keeping them alive, right?”
“Is there such a way?”
“I don’t know. But I’m sure you could have found a way to do it.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“I won’t deny it.”
Eonjabang’s eyes narrowed like thread.
“Are you saying you killed him even though he could have done that?”
“It could have been done, but we can’t allow it to cause a setback in this mission.”
“…?!”
“Yes, as you said, there are many ways. But the most certain thing is to erase any traces. “Why is it said that dead people don’t speak?”
“….”
“I want to accomplish my mission and save my share of money? Do you think that you can choose and obtain only what you want by looking at each other’s circumstances?”
There was a blazing electric light in Mo Yong-gun’s eyes.
“When you want to kill two birds with one stone, the most important things are ruthless determination and speed. “If you try to bring in human feelings and circumstances, you’ll only end up with more things to worry about.”
Eonjabang closed his eyes.
Perhaps he, too, was expecting this answer. However, he also thought that it would be nice if the person he served was someone who had some sense of morality.
Wrong. Prince Moyong was not a lord who lived up to his expectations.
Prince Moyong was a wise man who would do anything to gain power. To him, the moral principles and ethics of the world were no different from formal clothes that only seemed good on the surface and had no practical use whatsoever.
Moyong-gun shrugged his shoulders.
“If you look at the big picture, aren’t you similar to me?”
“What do you mean?”
“How many people did you kill to restore your family’s lost spiritual arts?”
At that moment, Eonjabang’s eyes trembled.
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“I didn’t say this to scare you. “I actually applaud such passion and determination.”
“…Stop it.”
“In the end, it’s all the same. Whether for the family or for power. “To achieve one’s goals, one must trample on others and rise above them. That is the essence of the human race.”
Mo Yong’s face turned cold in an instant.
“Those who do not step into the mud will only end up defeated and eliminated. “I want to remain a winner in my life, but I don’t want to become a defeated dog and live a miserable life.”
It was a voice that even hinted at madness.
It wasn’t an excuse for what he had done. Prince Moyong truly believed that.
After emptying the entire teacup, Moyong stood up.
“Now, let’s move slowly.”
“…Where are you going?”
“Where? “Now that the working group has moved on, I also have to do my part.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“If this mission is completed successfully, the working group will go straight into the depths of the Mukryongbu. “I will come back with all the information I want.”
“…?”
“I think we need to prepare another board so that the working group can get out safely.”
* * *
Paaaang!
The three men and women’s journey through the dense forest was as fast as the wind.
Yeon Ho-jeong, leading the group from the front, was lost in thought.
‘Moyong-gun.’
Full-sang’s words came to mind.
‘It’s a bit awkward to say this now, but… can we really trust this information manipulation?’
Of course I can’t believe it.
If Prince Moyong had given an order from the Murim Alliance headquarters, he would not have been suspicious to this extent.
The man who waved his hand when asked to go together came into the enemy lines as if he had been waiting for the working group to successfully break through the Honam region.
I don’t know what the plan is. This time, I couldn’t read the number of soldiers in Yeonhojeong and Moyonggun.
So I decided to look at just one.
Prince Moyong also does not want this mission to fail. The working team will spare no effort in providing reliable support until they return safely after obtaining satisfactory information.
however.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
As I said to him directly, Mr. Moyong is a person who has the ability to handle more than one task at once.
‘He must have made some kind of deal with Gwiju Trading Company.’
Or maybe you didn’t open a deal but are persevering to get something bigger.
‘Moyonggun is a person who can become more vicious than a demon head depending on the situation. Besides…’
This, Hunan Province, was the region where the Mo Yong family was located.
Of course, the distance from Jangsa where Mukryongbu was located was enormous. Unless you decide to do it, it will be difficult to actually hit it.
However, in terms of its influence, it could have been as strong or even greater than that of the Mukryongbu.
‘Moyong County’s position within Hunan Province will be extremely strong. If you want to achieve something, you can get support much easier and faster than when you were in the Murim Alliance.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes darkened.
‘doesn’t care.’
Moyong’s face came to mind.
A fierce desire written on a face with a handsome smile like that of a hero.
‘I don’t care what you do this time. ‘Whether it is to gain greater power or to enrich the family, I can turn a blind eye to most things.’
but.
‘Don’t cross the line.’
Moyonggun is a target that must be defeated.
However, I have no intention of holding back on everything he does. The opponent is the opponent, but it is obvious that this side will also get tired.
However, if the minimum line is crossed in the process, there is no choice but to stop it.
‘I know it doesn’t apply to common sense or morality, but at least if you were born with a human body, you might be third-rate, but don’t become a devil.’
A thought that suddenly occurred to Yeon Ho-jeong made him feel bitter again.
‘Well, I guess I’m no different from the devil in other people’s eyes.’
I feel like my head is getting complicated.
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.
‘it’s okay. For now, let’s just think about the mission.’
At that time, Paeyul asked from next to me.
“Is that okay?”
“yes?”
“The window. “I asked if it was worth using.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at the spear he was holding in his hand. This was the iron cage I bought when I first entered Honam.
“it’s okay.”
“The center of gravity is well maintained.”
“The blacksmith skills were very good.”
“hmm.”
Paeyul tilted his head.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you for a long time, but your spear skills have also reached a great level.”
“To wield an ax the size of a human body, spearmanship is basic.”
“Is he like that too?”
“But why are you doing that?”
The loss rate was uncharacteristically hesitant.
“That’s…”
Not only Yeon Ho-jeong but also Dang Sang-ah looked at the defeat with puzzled eyes.
Paeyul cleared his throat.
“The four days of swords in the text… Well, you know that, right?”
It probably means it was lost. Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I know.”
“I want to create a martial art that is comparable to, if not better than, that of him. “It’s in progress, though.”
“…?!”
“I didn’t know how to make it, but no matter how I look at it, it seems more suited to a spear than a sword.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was filled with surprise.
“You created martial arts?”
“Hehehehe!”
“Is this what you showed me before?”
Paeyul whetted his appetite.
“There is still a long way to go. After my meeting with you, I took a closer look and found that there were more than one or two gaps. “There is a lot of room for improvement.”
“You are amazing.”
Yeon Ho-jeong was purely amazed.
Inventing martial arts? This was not something to be judged simply on the level of skill.
Regardless of whether the level is high or low, creating a new form of martial arts is itself a great thing. It is not usually a difficult task since you have to create not only the form but also the internal energy operation method that matches the form.
“So, I want you to spar with me later in spearmanship.”
“of course.”
It would have been really embarrassing to ask for something like this with his personality. It also meant that he was serious about his martial arts skills.
“But what is the name of that martial arts skill?”
“What is the name of a martial art that hasn’t even been completed yet?”
“I think you made it though?”
Paeyul cleared his throat again.
“Well… I just called it Gwanilgeom (貫日劍) to make it easier to call it.”
“Gwanilgeom.”
“I don’t know whether it will be Guan Il Sword or Guan Il Chang. “Anyway, be sure to keep your promise.”
“All right.”
At first glance, Yeon Ho-jeong had a look of envy on his face.
‘Creating a new martial art… It’s a really great thing.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was as good as anyone at revising existing martial arts and making them easier to use.
However, there has never been a time when a new martial art like Paeyul was created. The loss rate, which is lower than yours, is actually far ahead in this regard.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked ahead again.
‘Will a time like this come to me in the future?’
It’s unknown. Because this is not something that can be done simply by putting your mind to it.
However, he hoped that that fateful time would come to him too.
I feel like I want to leave a mark on the world through martial arts. Yeon Ho-jeong also had that desire as a martial artist.
The group continued to run along the forest path for a while.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s over there.”
“Right. But…”
Paeyul frowned.
“What is this?”
Tang Sang-ah also looked a little embarrassed.
“They are experts?”
Yeon Ho-jeong was equally embarrassed.
There were nearly a hundred people wearing identical clothes gathered at the visible destination. They were commercial agents who borrowed the clothes of commercial agents.
But their prayers were very strange.
‘It’s strong, but…’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became as cold as ice.
‘What is this blood smell?’
It was then.
Cha-cha-cha-chang!
All members of the Gwiju Merchant Marine Company drew their swords and glared in this direction.
For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
‘Moyong-kun…No way?!’
A middle-aged man with a knife wound in the center of his eye let out a vicious cry.
“Kill!”
Pabababak!
A hundred experts jumped towards the three people.
