Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 350
Episode 350
“Cheonan Inspector General?”
“No way… Dragon King?”
“The Dragon King came to Hanam?”
A loud noise filled the room.
Not only the restaurant guests, but also the upstairs guests and the kitchen staff came out to snoop around here.
Mo Won-ki’s pupils shook uneasily, as if he realized something was going wrong.
“How long are you going to be like this?”
“…….”
“If you don’t make room for me, I won’t be able to sit down.”
“this guy! “How dare you impersonate me!”
“Impersonation?”
“There is no way the Dragon King Daehyeop would be in Hanam at this time!”
Sogaju stood up hesitantly and pointed at me and shouted.
I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t speak.
Did you feel nothing when you were overpowered by Ilsoo?
Looking at his energetic expression, it seemed like he truly thought I was impersonating someone named Yeon-woon.
‘I almost know what you’re thinking.’
The story that I stopped by Hebei to protect God’s faith was not officially known to the outside world.
It wasn’t particularly confidential, but it certainly wasn’t something worth publicizing on a large scale.
Isn’t this an escort mission in name and purpose?
Although there were cases where things were covered up due to a lack of escort troops, there were no cases where the target was intentionally brought to attention except when carrying out a diversionary operation.
‘Actually, I also don’t understand why the mission was assigned at this time.’
What happened in Jiangsu was already known throughout the Central Plains.
Those who heard the rumor naturally assumed that the Dragon King had returned to Meng’s headquarters to report the matter.
That’s probably why Mok Won-ki thought I was an impersonator.
“What are you doing! “Without catching that guy!”
“yes!”
The warriors who were watching with anxious expressions rushed towards me at Mok Won-gi’s urging.
I took a step back to avoid the attack and clicked my tongue.
Kwazijic!
The table was broken and the spilled furniture was scattered on the floor.
‘I tried to end it on a positive note because I was afraid it would cause damage to the guests.’
The situation escalated because of one inconsiderate person.
I apologized to the guest in my mind and punched the air one after another.
The sixth herbivorous fighting fist of the wall power.
A fist flew through the air and struck the warriors.
“Keck!”
“Kaaak!”
The warriors who fall out of the pick-pick.
Meanwhile, Mokwonki dug into my side and swung his sharply forged sword.
Without even looking at him, I stretched out my hand, which was bent like a pitchfork.
“You said I was caught off guard earlier, but do you think the same move will work twice?”
Surprisingly, it worked.
Mo Won-ki’s sword cut through the air in vain, and I once again injected a bet into his wrist, which I was holding tightly.
“Aaaah!”
The sword that slipped out of my hand was rolling around on the floor.
Mok Won-ki, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled violently, but I did not let him go and persistently tormented him.
He was flopping around like a fish that had been brought to land, but eventually he frothed at the mouth and fainted.
Since the brain’s needle was injected to scrape the bloodstream inside the body, it would be necessary to focus on healing the internal injuries for at least three months.
“What is this fuss about?”
“Are you here, sir?”
Sinui, who appeared late, frowned and looked at the warriors crawling on the floor.
Dok Go-seong and Lee Soo-yeon, who were standing behind him, blinked as if they had no idea what was going on.
While Cheon Ga-ryeong was explaining the situation, I handed the repair fee to the guest owner and moved the warriors outside.
‘The meal was poor.’
In the midst of the commotion, the table was broken, so the position that Cheon Ga-ryeong had taken was meaningless.
Above all, I never thought I would be able to relax comfortably while attracting so much attention.
After thinking for a moment, I grabbed Mok Won-ki by the collar and struck him on both cheeks alternately.
Ta-da! match!
A light hitting sound rang out several times.
“Ugh!”
Mo Won-ki finally regained consciousness.
As soon as his eyes returned to focus, he took a gulp of air and turned his head.
It’s as if he can’t make eye contact with me.
After letting go of the collar, he smoothed his swollen face and spoke in a quiet voice.
“Please forgive me. “The stupid man did not recognize the nobleman and committed rudeness.”
“Please guide me.”
“yes? “Where do you want me to lead you?”
“Where can I go?” “I’m telling you to guide me to Mokwon House.”
“Why in our family…?”
“You must take responsibility for this incident. “After causing this much commotion, I can’t go back to my guest house, and I can’t sleep out on the street either.”
“……”
Mo Won-ki’s face turned pale.
He seemed to realize that it wasn’t a joke.
“It’s not possible!”
“It’s not for you to decide whether to do it or not.”
“If this becomes known to the head of the family, I will die!”
“If you don’t guide me to Sega obediently, you will die here by my hands.”
No matter how oblivious you were, you would have figured it out by now.
That I am not an impersonator, but the real Dragon King.
It didn’t take long for Mu Wenqi to give up everything and nod.
Somehow I felt a sense of déjà vu.
‘I think something similar happened before. Was it when the Hongwon family visited?’
After gathering our belongings from our lodgings, my group and I headed to Mokwon House with the injured warriors leading the way.
* * *
“I apologize for my son’s rudeness.”
The head of the Mokwon family, Mok Won-ho, who was hit by lightning during the night, bowed down and apologized to me.
Mo Won-ki, who was looking at the scene with a restless face, was in tears.
It couldn’t have been a truly ugly sight.
At first glance, he looks to be in his mid-thirties.
“There is no need for you to apologize to me, matriarch.”
“If a member of the family made a mistake, it would be right for me, as the head of the family, to apologize.”
It was hard to tell whether he truly had a good character or if he was just bowing down in front of the renowned Dragon King.
It didn’t really matter either way.
Because of this, the prestige of the Mokwon family would fall and they would receive the wrath of the family head, Mokwongi, who was the one who caused the problem.
I thought that would be enough revenge for the delay in dinner.
“We will do our best to ensure that you do not feel any inconvenience during your stay at our home.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
We have prepared luxurious lodgings that are incomparable to guesthouses.
This is why people had to be seen as having fame and power.
Otherwise, why would the Mokwon family have argued in front of me?
‘It’s just right.’
There was nothing more enjoyable than enjoying luxury with other people’s money.
When I arrived at the Shaolin Temple, I would have to eat only vegetable side dishes for a while, but I thought I should oil my stomach before doing so.
* * *
The accommodation we arrived at under the guidance of Shibi was spacious and comfortable.
After throwing my luggage on the bed, I immediately climbed out the window and jumped onto the roof.
I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of situation Mok Won-gi would be in after being left alone with his father in the family room.
As I approached Gajujeon, using stealth techniques to kill any signs of presence, the sound of a hard hitting pierced my ears.
Wow!
I knew it the moment I heard it.
It’s the sound of hitting one’s cheek with the palm of one’s hand.
‘I arrived at just the right time.’
I clung to the wall of Gajujeon to avoid the gaze of the warriors standing guard.
When I climbed up on the railing and looked inside through the window, I saw Mok Won-ki kneeling on the floor and Mok Won-ho standing in front of him.
Mokwonho stomped his feet and shouted.
“What on earth are you doing walking around outside?”
“Ah, father.”
“Call me matriarch!”
“…….”
“Even if you are immature, you should be sparing in moderation! Are you arguing with the Dragon King instead of anyone else? “Are you planning to destroy the family?”
“It’s not like that! “I feel wronged!”
“What is unfairness! “He looks like a guy I wouldn’t mind beating up to death!”
A light beating sound followed.
Mok Won-ki, who was already haggard from internal injuries, couldn’t even resist and rolled on the floor.
The sound of a pig being slaughtered rang loudly.
-What are you doing here?
Cheon Ga-ryeong approached me silently and spoke to me in a loud voice.
It seemed like she, too, was curious about what happened next and secretly left the dorm.
If you look closely, she wasn’t even a nobleman.
-What did you bring?
-alcohol. Would you like a drink too?
-Should I say this is a nasty hobby or that I know how to enjoy it?
Cheon Ga-ryeong and I went up to the roof of Gajujeon and exchanged drinks.
The screams made by Mokwongi under the pouring moonlight served as a snack.
-Anyway, how did that situation come about?
-Aren’t you guessing roughly?
-Because I didn’t hear the story properly from the person involved.
-Nothing much, I looked around the restaurant and it looked like it would soon be filled with customers. So I put off taking a bath and ordered food first to save my seat.
-In the meantime, the head of the Mokwon family appeared?
– He took off the bamboo ribs, checked my face, and asked me to join him.
-With your skills, it wouldn’t have been difficult to kick you out.
Not all peak peaks were the same.
I was well aware of Cheon Ga-ryeong’s skills.
It did not occur to him that Mo Won-ki, who had not yet properly mastered his state, could handle her.
-I could have used my own hands, but I didn’t have the confidence to subdue it as cleanly as you did. I thought it would be better to wait for you to come since I might end up causing harm to those around me.
-Are you the type of person who cares about such things?
I tilted my head and poured the alcohol in the glass into my mouth.
Cheon Ga-ryeong stared at me with a sullen expression.
-why?
-No, it’s nothing.
-I think it’s almost over. Should I go back soon?
-okay.
The noise coming from beneath my feet stopped.
Mok Won-ho, who came out of Gajujeon with a sigh, headed to Huwon.
When I climbed down the wall and looked inside, I saw Mok Won-ki, who had been badly beaten, lying on the floor, tears and snot pouring out.
Cheon Ga-ryeong smiled coldly as if she was satisfied, left Gajujeon behind and headed to her dorm.
I also followed behind her.
“……?”
It was when he was about to jump off the roof of a building that was presumed to be a warehouse.
I opened my eyes wide when I discovered the sculpture shining softly in the moonlight.
At first I thought I had seen something wrong.
No matter where I looked, it looked exactly the same as the ‘thing’ in my memory.
-what’s the matter?
Cheon Ga-ryeong turned to me and asked in full voice.
Instead of answering, I pointed at the sculpture with my index finger.
I returned the way I came and stood next to me with a surprised expression on my face.
‘her.’
If you think about it, it wasn’t that strange.
The family’s roots are not from the Demonic Cult but from Baekdo Martial Arts.
I knew that he had great influence in Hanam before his destruction due to the Demonic Cult.
After the manor burned down, the new Murim faction that established itself on the site was said to be the Mokwon family.
-Isn’t that a pattern symbolizing Wolhwajang (月華莊)?
