Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 67
Episode 67
There is a relative, but there is no absolute. (2)
“Um.”
Moyong looked out the window.
The sunset was setting.
“The sun is already setting.”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa frowned. My body felt tired after being confined to my living quarters all day.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know.”
It had been a day since they had been sitting in one place, so it was understandable that Mo Yong Yeon Hwa was asking such useless questions. As I’ve never done anything and just waited for a call to come, I couldn’t help but feel a bit tingly.
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa sighed.
“I wish I had lived.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“Of course you should. Otherwise, all the effort to get to Hanam would have been in vain, right?”
“That’s true, but I really want to meet you and give you a shot.”
Prince Moyong said slyly.
“But wasn’t he the guy who almost became your friend at least once?”
This refers to when a business proposal is made during annual leave.
Mo Yong Yeon-hwa shrugged her shoulders.
“But it didn’t work out, did it?”
Moyong-gun smiled.
He seems a bit bored, but that’s just it. The daughter was still showing a detached appearance.
Even though Mo Yong Yeon Hwa was not told not to go out, she did not take a single step outside the dormitory.
This is because I thought there was no point in distracting attention from the opening with unnecessary movements. In a situation where you don’t know whether to hold hands or shake off, making hasty movements is absolutely prohibited.
He knows how to keep the bigger picture in mind, even in the smallest details. This was the reason why Prince Moyong favored Moyong Yeonhwa.
“The sun is setting, so let’s have dinner soon.”
“yes.”
Mo Yong-gun grabbed the rope hanging in the air. If you pull this, the bell will ring and Jeomsoy will come running soon after.
It was when he tried to pull the rope.
‘….’
Prince Moyong’s eyes shone.
Moyong Yeonhwa tilted her head.
“Why are you doing this, father?”
“It smells like blood.”
“yes?”
Moyong took his hand off the rope and looked out the window again.
A sound came to his ears.
[The practitioner has arrived.]
“…What?”
There was surprise on Mo Yong’s face.
‘This quickly?’
No, you mean that you survived the attack by the blue langurs before that? How?
“father?”
“come.”
“yes?”
“Yeonhojeong is coming.”
Moyong Yeonhwa opened her mouth without realizing it.
“You defeated the blue tiger?”
Prince Moyong did not answer.
I thought of course I would have defeated it. There’s no way they’ll come looking for us without wiping them all out.
At the same time, I thought that couldn’t be possible.
‘Didn’t you say you collided at noon today?’
It is said that once a blue wolf catches a target and starts moving, it takes three to five days at the earliest. Take your time to tire out your target and, when it’s critical, put a knife to their throat.
It was literally the same as the wolf’s habits. Wolves with good physical strength tend to complete the hunt by chasing their prey until they collapse from exhaustion.
But you wiped out all those poisonous bastards in half a day? Even alone?
‘That doesn’t make sense.’
It can’t be possible.
Even if Yeon Ho-jeong alone had pushed the blue langurs, the remaining blue langurs would not have hesitated to run away to hide. Catching and killing them one by one was not an easy task.
‘Has opening up helped? no way? If you knew it was the power of a famous family, you wouldn’t be able to intervene easily, right?’
It was then.
hook.
Moyong felt that the smell of blood became thicker in an instant.
thud. thud.
The sound of knocking on the door was quite harsh.
Prince Moyong said calmly.
“Please come in.”
I’m sorry.
The door opened and a young man entered.
He was a tall young man with a slim build. Although his eyes were somewhat sharp, he was still a very handsome young man.
thud!
The floor shakes.
The young man, who placed an ax the size of a human body next to the door, took a deep breath.
“Excuse me?”
The young man’s entire body was covered in blood.
The clothes were torn or had holes here and there, and all exposed skin was stained with blood. A trace of blood ran across his temple, across his jawline, and all the way to his neck, and the blood had not yet dried.
He was full of wounds and his breathing was rough. He had the appearance of a general who had fought through a fierce battle.
“Are you the eldest son of the Yeon family?”
“Please go to the Moyong family?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
Young Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
‘Moyong-gun.’
He looks at himself with surprised eyes, but his entire expression has an unwavering composure.
A wild ambition that would set the sky on fire is hidden in the clear light of the eyes. The thick lips trapped within the well-groomed beard were stubbornly closed, and the angular jaw exuded determination.
‘….’
My fist naturally gained strength.
If all that grey-white hair and black beard turned white.
If the perfectly formed skeleton were somewhat reduced, but instead the eyes were much deeper and an expression of detachment was drawn.
If instead of wearing luxurious silk clothes, you wear pure white military uniform and long cloth.
‘It’s the same.’
Moyonggun, the Murim lord who was revered as a swordsman.
He was exactly the same as he was when I met him as the Lord of the Black Emperor. Although there may be differences in appearance, his unique and flawless prayer was unmistakably that of Moyonggun.
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.
When it came to seeing this guy, the screening process was complicated. In reality, he was closer to hating Moyong-gun than liking him.
Moreover, at the end of his life, he was the one who ordered the magistrate to kill himself.
‘If I die, who will stop you? The current martial arts faction… cannot stop the Black Emperor Castle.’
‘I will apologize in the afterlife. ‘Let’s go together.’
It may have been a precarious alliance, but comrades were comrades in arms. He died after being betrayed by his comrades. Of course, my feelings toward Prince Moyong couldn’t be good.
however.
‘….’
The chill slowly subsided as Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mo Yong-gun.
“It is called Yeonhojeong of Jiangsu Byeoksan Love House.”
He ruled with moderation.
“I meet the head of the Moyong family.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes lit up.
He saw a trace of indescribable emotion in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes when she looked at him. It felt like hatred and also nostalgia.
‘what?’
It is an unknown feeling.
Since he was the one who planted Sejak to destroy the family, he could be angry. But what is the faintness behind hatred?
“He is the person in charge of the Moyong family.”
Moyong-gun smiled.
“This is how you see the famous Gwangpungsa (狂風獅).”
“Whoop.”
Mo Yong-gun got up from his seat and stretched out his hand to the large table placed on one side.
“Please sit over there.”
“then.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sat on the chair.
Even though I was so injured and exhausted, my walking did not falter. Prince Moyong was impressed by Yeonhojeong’s strength.
“Shouldn’t I get treatment? “The injury looks quite serious.”
“it’s okay.”
I have suffered countless wounds like this. There are countless times I fought day and night while suffering worse wounds than this.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Anyway, do you have any alcohol?”
“alcohol? “Is that okay for your body?”
“it’s okay.”
“haha.”
Prince Moyong noticed Moyong Yeonhwa.
Moyong Yeonhwa pulled the string in the air. After a while, Jeomsoy came and Moyong Yeonhwa ordered a meal and drinks.
Prince Moyong sat across from Yeonhojeong.
“I didn’t know that through this incident, I would see the eldest son of the family rather than the head of the family.”
Prince Moyong pointed to Moyong Yeonhwa.
“You may have met me at the late index meeting. “This is my daughter Yeonhwa.”
Mo Yong-yeon smiled and greeted me.
“This is Moyong Yeonhwa. “I got to see you sooner than I thought.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly watching Mo Yong-yeon-hwa, nodded once.
He came to see Prince Mo Yong, not to see Mo Yong Yeonhwa. Moreover, she was busy managing her complicated feelings toward Prince Moyong.
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s complexion changed slightly.
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
“He is a quiet man.”
“It’s because it’s awkward to talk to women. “Please understand.”
“Is this because of the blood vessels? “That’s also surprising.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes became strange. Although he was smiling softly, his eyes were sharp and searching for the other person.
‘That’s amazing.’
He recognized Yeonhojeong’s strength at a glance.
Yeonhojeong is strong. His inner strength and dexterity were not at a level that could be called a late-stage index.
‘No, it won’t simply end there.’
It was not only about internal strength, but also the person himself seemed strong.
It is a steel among steels refined by masters of the world, strong and unbreakable. In Yeonhojeong’s cold prayer, Prince Moyong was able to catch a glimpse of the shadow of a divine soldier that was rarely seen anywhere else.
Prince Moyong’s mouth opened of its own accord.
“Have you defeated all the blue langurs of the famous family?”
“Do you call them blue langies?”
“You didn’t even know who it was?”
“I only knew it was sent from a famous family.”
“Hehehe! “It’s truly exciting.”
Mo Yong-gun asked in a meaningful tone.
“So you caught them all?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
Moyong Yeonhwa slightly raised the corners of her mouth as if she knew that would happen.
Moyong-gun tilted his head.
“When I saw the momentum, I thought they had completely cleaned it out, but that wasn’t the case?”
“Of the seventy, we caught sixty-eight of them, and the remaining two were separated from each other by an arm and shipped to a famous family.”
“…!”
“Don’t you think the famous family’s face would be quite nice to see?”
Mo Yong-gun’s face hardened.
Moyong Yeonhwa said in exasperation.
“Student. “If you’re lying out of pointless pride…”
Moyong-gun raised his hand. Then Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s mouth closed of its own accord.
Mo Yong-gun, who had been studying Yeon Ho-jeong’s face for a long time, opened his mouth.
“You were intentionally planning to make the head of the famous family angry?”
“That’s right.”
“I assure you, it was a handshake.”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa was inwardly dumbfounded.
Like Moyonggun, she too was able to read Yeonhojeong’s prayers. However, what she read was a rich meditation and a well-organized prayer and nothing more.
A bowl that is not yet finished. She couldn’t help but see what her father, Prince Moyong, was seeing.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“Why do you think that?”
“If mice and birds had been exterminated without anyone noticing, the head of the famous family would have been more cautious from now on.”
“I guess so.”
“I should have targeted the moment when he exercised caution. “If you make him angry unnecessarily, Hanam could become a hell.”
Yeon Ho-jeong admitted refreshingly.
“Maybe so.”
“Hehe, are you saying you want to farm with me now?”
“Did you receive my letter?”
“…?”
“Since you received it, you are probably here now. If you do, I will ask. “No matter how rough and arrogant he was, why would he have trusted me to send such a letter to the head of the family?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“Did you have any beliefs?”
Yeon Ho-jeong took out a letter from her arms. The letter, soaked in his own blood, was eerie to look at.
“What is this?”
“Please unfold.”
Moyong felt somewhat uneasy.
He slowly opened the letter.
“…Shaolin?!”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled meaningfully.
“I have no doubt that the head of the family has the decisive move to destroy the famous family.”
“…!”
“But for that move to work, shouldn’t there be a buffer to keep the famous family in check? So, what do you think about summoning a reliable checking force? Do you like my plan?”
