Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 50
Episode 50.
The wind blows (5)
The atmosphere in the governor’s office has become cold.
Embarrassment was visible on Taekyung’s face.
“What are you talking about?”
Crump!
Yeon Ho-jeong crushed the teacup. Even though he broke the teacup with his bare hands, there was not a single scratch on his hand.
Taekyung swallowed his saliva without realizing it at that threatening behavior.
“It was a bit surprising at first.”
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his hand.
Patter.
Fragments of the broken teacup fell into the rainwater.
“In general, when planting a seed in another organization, three rules are followed. First, an inconspicuous place. Second, an inconspicuous position. Third, an inconspicuous personality.”
Taekyung’s eyes wavered.
He was a person who had trained himself so thoroughly that he could manage his facial expressions even when lightning struck in front of his eyes. But I couldn’t do that now.
A grand duke who openly calls himself Sejak. The archduke’s eye glow was as intense as a thunderbolt and as hot as lava.
I can’t tell if it’s life or dignity. The moment the teacup broke, Taekyung’s composure was also broken. And Yeon Ho-jeong’s life timely penetrated the cracks of his broken heart.
“First-rate Sejak strictly follows the rules. People don’t suspect that an inconspicuous person is Sejak. “Countless organizations in Gangho were on the path to destruction because of such evil practices.”
“…!!”
“But the express is different.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at himself with his thumb.
“Sejak, which is classified as a special class, shows aspects that are completely opposite to other Sejak. “He has a striking personality, holds a prominent position, and hangs out in prominent places.”
“…!!”
“A person whom anyone would suspect when something happens, but a person who also has many ways to avoid suspicion. “They know that once they avoid the arrow of doubt, they will never be caught.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
Taekyung couldn’t help but smile.
“But you are unique. It’s not first-class, but it’s hard to classify it as first-class. “I don’t have an outstanding personality, but I am working in a central position in the organization in a prominent position.”
“Grand Duke! If you are misunderstanding me as Sejak…”
“Misunderstanding? “I’m sure.”
“…!”
“I was confused at first too. No matter how you look at it, this guy is not from a famous family, so where is he? “Except for the famous family, were there any other people trying to take over the main family?”
Taekyung grabbed his thighs without realizing it.
‘A famous family? What is a famous house? Was the famous family also targeting this place?!’
Even in moments of crisis, new information is accumulated. When the escape is successful, you instinctively remember what to convey to your allies.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Didn’t the head of the Moyong family tell you? “You joined hands with a famous family?”
“…?!”
“Your skills are quite famous. From the looks of it, it seems like three works that were raised with some care. Even if you get caught, it’s easy to cut off the tail and just pretend not to notice and pull it away, right?”
“…!!”
“Mo Yong-se… It’s really fun. Aiming for a stab in the back of the head? In the end, the main family was only observing the public sentiment without knowing anything in the battleground of the ghosts.”
Only now Yeon Ho-jeong was able to infer what happened in the past.
Both Moyongsega and Myeongga targeted Yeonga.
It wasn’t something I was aiming for. Yeonga was not a family that could be swallowed up by one organization. This was especially true for the Seven Great Emperors who had many enemies.
That is why the Myeong family and the Mo Yong family joined hands. He was thinking of destroying the Yeonga and tearing Jiangsu Province in half.
In the past, the Yeonwi opposed the project proposal until the end.
That’s why a famous family came forward. He made the most barbaric yet effective decision to take over by force any family that would not be appeased.
What was surprising was Mo Yong-sega’s choice.
There was a high probability that it was the work of the Moyong family that led to the collapse of the famous family without anyone noticing.
A family that has achieved the honor of being the best family in the world in its short history.
Of course, it would have been difficult to bury it with Moyongga’s power alone. However, it is certain that Moyonga played a leading role. Otherwise, the Mo Yong family would not have been called the best family in the world.
In the end, everyone was harmed by the Mo Yong family.
“The whole world is like that. Even if you evaluate the colors of black and white porcupines, they are ultimately the same. “Good guys suffer and bad guys get fed up.”
“….”
“Looking at things like that, isn’t the Moyong family truly amazing? “You don’t seem like a good guy either, so what kind of trust did you give someone like that to risk your life like this?”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“why? Are you saying that when I take over the world in the future, I will be there to look down on the world from your side?”
Cold sweat broke out on the back of Taekyung’s neck.
“I have no idea what the Archduke is saying…”
“I knew so.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shouted, glaring at Tae-kyung.
“Huge!”
Sreuk.
For a moment, Taekyung was surprised.
I don’t know how long it’s been there. Full Sang stood with his arms crossed right in front of the shadowy bookshelf in the corner of the Governor General’s office.
“I didn’t want to get involved in someone else’s family fight.”
The eyes of Full Sang glaring at Tae Kyung were extremely cold.
“What you are doing is so despicable. “All thoughts of receiving a commission disappeared.”
Yeon Ho-jeong held out his hand. Full-sang handed a neatly folded letter into his hand.
Taekyung’s eyes shook greatly.
‘How is that?!’
That letter was sent to the Moyong family through Tongcheondan.
The problem is that it was not sent in the name of Yeonga. Having served as the head of the Yeonga for quite a long time, he also made several Tongcheondan members his own.
“It was written in secret language. “It was quite complicated, but not difficult to interpret.”
Taekyung felt his eyesight becoming dark.
Other people may not know, but if it is open, deciphering secret words is easy. The larger the organization that handles information, the higher the level of decipherers.
Openness is the pinnacle of the white island intelligence community. It was a large group with countless top-notch secret language decipherers.
Yeon Ho-jeong waved the letter.
“Now stop acting like nonsense. “Aren’t your facial muscles almost paralyzed because you’ve been hiding your true feelings for so long?”
That is correct.
There is no point in arresting the secret letter since it has been discovered. No, even if it wasn’t a letter, I already couldn’t manage my facial expression properly in front of Yeonhojeong.
‘damn.’
Taekyung sighed.
“How did you know?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled. I was sure it was Sejak, but I didn’t expect him to admit it so easily.
“How do you know?”
“I’m curious about your motive for doubting me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.
“Do you really need to think about that? “I’m not stupid and I know it when I see it.”
It was a statement that made fools of most people living in Gangho.
Taekyung smiled bitterly.
“I have no intention of telling you.”
Even if I want to say it, I can’t. Even if they say it, they don’t have a trustworthy past.
“It’s bland than I thought, isn’t it? “I knew you would pull it off until the end.”
“If I hold you back until the end, will you trust me?”
“Of course not.”
“I admitted it because I knew it too.”
It was a strange thing to say. At least that’s what Yeon Ho-jeong heard.
“I saw you wrong. “I thought he was just a simpleton warrior who was anxious to become the head of the family.”
“The acting worked well.”
“It was a great performance. “My goal is to become a military master, but I haven’t been able to see through even a single thought of a young man, so I guess I still have a long way to go.”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt a hint of pride in his voice.
‘As expected.’
Taekyung’s eyes deepened.
“You couldn’t have acted alone, so Yeongaju must know.”
Even though it has been several years since we served him, we still call him Yeongaju without hesitation.
At least its shamelessness can be said to be top-notch. No matter how much I tried, it wasn’t easy to do this.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Your father doesn’t know.”
“Do you really need to lie in this situation?”
“That’s right.”
Taekyung frowned.
‘The head of the house doesn’t know?’
He looked closely at Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“…is it true?”
“If I caught a fish, I should peel off the scales first. Should I kill time by telling jokes?”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.
Tae-kyung, seeing that smile, suddenly realized.
“You… your ambition to become the head of the family was real!”
“I don’t think acting without sincerity will work in front of a guy who has been belittling me for nearly ten years.”
Taekyung sighed softly.
“It was my pride that brought the situation to this point. “Even though I saw the essence, I was fooled by the fake expression.”
No matter what help he received, Yeon Ho-jeong is the main player in this matter.
In other words, he caught Sejak and proved his abilities. That’s probably why I didn’t tell anyone.
Taekyung, who was sighing, was happy at the same time.
‘You idiot!’
The head of the house doesn’t know?
Even if you know, you can somehow get out of it, but if you don’t know, it will be easier. Tae-kyung couldn’t help but laugh inwardly at Yeon-ho-jeong’s greed.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“Thank you for being a stepping stone for my future.”
Taekyung glared at Yeonhojeong with venomous eyes.
“You better be careful. “Because greedy people always make mistakes in unexpected places.”
“Those who lack greed say that.”
“They say it’s called Gyeongja under the auspicious mark, and that’s really true.”
“I don’t think that’s something to listen to from a bastard like you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to the door with his chin.
“Do you want to go out on your own feet or get dragged?”
After a while, Tae-kyung headed to the prison surrounded by warriors.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching his back, said.
“Mr. Hugae.”
“What are you saying?”
“Tell this to your father. “We’ll take care of the rest, so please take care of the situation.”
* * *
Wow!
The cell door opened.
puck!
Taekyung collapsed and entered the cell. It was a narrow room that could be filled with one person lying down.
The eyes of each corporate head were very fierce.
“I didn’t know you would.”
Tae-kyung turned his back just as he entered. The sight of him just staring at the wall seemed detached at first glance.
“How dare you fool us with that shameless face?”
“….”
“I don’t have much to say!”
“….”
Taekyung remained silent.
The head of the corporation, who was fussing, said a cold word.
“You won’t die a nice death.”
Each corporate owner closed his cell.
Quang!
The sound was so strong that the steel door shook.
So Tae-kyung was locked alone in a solitary cell with only weak moonlight coming in.
“….”
How much time has passed?
Taekyung, who was sitting with his eyes closed, opened his mouth.
“Hearer.”
Then, to my surprise, I heard a voice outside the small window.
“A painter.”
“….”
“Hyeoncheon (玄天) Hocheon (昊天).”
“Hocheon.”
Cheer ring.
A small, black key came in through a small window.
It was so dark that I had no idea where I had landed. Taekyung groped the floor and finally found the key.
‘done.’
From now on it was easy. He fumbled with the key on the wall opposite the door.
‘Lower left point, upper three, right two.’
No matter how well-made the prison was, there were always gaps between stones.
But what Tae-kyung was looking for was not just a gap. I had to find a metal hole where this small key would fit.
Each. Ga-ga-gak.
It was dark so it didn’t fit well.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. I practiced it several times when no one was watching, but when it came to real situations, it wasn’t as easy as before.
‘Whoa.’
I calmed down as much as I could and stung again.
After a while.
Phew.
To my surprise, the middle of the floor suddenly collapsed.
Even though the ground went out, there was no sound. Tae-kyung went in there, screaming with joy.
Slurp.
After Taekyung entered, the floor returned to its original state.
Just like that, the cell became empty.
