Chapter 120

Episode 120Moment of decision (2)

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“….”

“Yeonggongja?”

“uh?”

“Why are you doing that? “Is there something that’s bothering you?”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“no. “The back of my throat suddenly felt sore.”

“assassin?”

“Is that possible?”

“why? “I heard people talk about Yeonga being one of the most famous families in Gangho.”

“It’s not the best, but it’s famous.”

“If you were the eldest son of a family like that, wouldn’t there be a lot of people targeting you?”

Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.

“It’s not wrong… but how did you even think of it?”

Mukbi grunted.

“Aren’t you ignoring me too much?”

“I’m not ignoring it. “Not knowing is not a sin.”

“No matter how much I don’t know about the world, it’s not that bad.”

Even if only three people gather together, the factions are divided. And they engage in a war of nerves to gain the upper hand.

The world that expanded that tens of millions of times was Kangho. A clan with a high reputation and strong influence would inevitably become the target of checks.

Mukbi learned it at Yesin Hapjeon.

“By the way, a month has already passed.”

“I know.”

It has been over a month since I stayed at Hoseondaehuiru.

It was now full fall weather. The leaves were blowing and the wind was cold. People’s clothes also became thicker.

Mo Yong-woo, who came 20 days ago, returned that day. Afterwards, Yan Haozheng completed a market survey by touring the waters of Zhejiang.

Now it was time to go back.

“Anyway, is it okay for me not to see him anymore?”

“who?”

“A person named Mo Yong-woo.”

Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.

“The talk is over. Now it’s that person’s turn to make a move. “If you follow my suggestion, I will contact you again.”

He recalled Mo Yong-woo’s words.

‘But once I’ve decided, I don’t want to move in a lukewarm manner.’

We’ve only just met. There is no need or possible to stick together from the beginning with people who have not even worked together.

Even if there is someone to help you, if you just suck your fingers, you will not be able to eat or porridge. The subject of life is always oneself. Mo Yong-woo knew that fact well.

‘Try to figure it out on your own. I believe he will show that level of ability.’

Mukbi asked.

“Then can we go back right away?”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you going to stop by Mt. Makgan?”

“Makgan Mountain? Oh Ji-pyeong?”

“yes.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“Is it still there? Besides, Makgansan Mountain is also a mountain. “I know that there is a horizon somewhere in that wide space.”

“Anyway, if you don’t have anything to do for a while, you can just pretend to hike the entire mountain to practice divine methods.”

“oh? “That’s not a bad idea.”

“Hi-Hi.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Do you want to see the horizon that much?”

Mukbi scratched his cheek.

“This is my first time.”

“what?”

“Except for practitioners, he is the first person to approach me selflessly.”

“Your father will be disappointed to hear that.”

“Oh, it’s different from your father. So, um…”

“Well, anyway, what you say makes sense. Even if I go back, there’s nothing to do other than training, so I’ll just look around Mt. Makgan… Wow!”

“why?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s complexion turned pale.

Mukbi was naturally nervous. She had never seen Yeon Ho-jeong’s face this serious.

Ugh.

Mukbi, who had pulled up the archery bowstring, looked around and asked.

“Is there something wrong? Could it be that they are enemies…?”

“I didn’t send the letter.”

“yes?”

Yeon Ho-jeong swallowed his saliva.

“I didn’t send a greeting letter to my father. never.” Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“….”

“Damn the rain.”

I spoke with silence leaking out.

“You know what’s really absurd sometimes?”

“hey! It’s because you don’t know your father! “Do you know how much pain I suffered that day?”

Yeon Ho-jeong held his head unconsciously.

People are more scary when they are silent than when they talk a lot. My father just glared at me in silence until I recited the filial piety section of Myeongmyeongbogam out loud that day.

It was a moment almost comparable to the shock of my first murder. Yeon Ho-jeong, who suffered a huge blow to his mental strength, could not sleep well.

Mukbi was dumbfounded.

‘What on earth does this person really look like?’

She remembered her first meeting with Yeon Ho-jeong.

The general’s eyes were looking down at him, red and blue, yet radiating a dark energy.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s martial arts skills, where he overpowered Baek So-gyeong in an instant and then attacked Baek So-gyeong, were truly shocking.

A chill ran down my spine at the majesty of the chieftain, who had not even the slightest hint of mercy. Afterwards, the shadow of a blunt wise man appeared in the way he consoled himself.

As time went by and we became friends, I saw the mischievousness of a young man with his own playful side, and when I talked to Mo Yong-woo, I saw the side of a strong and resourceful man.

And now?

‘Aren’t you a complete idiot?’

I don’t know how many things are hidden.

But I knew one thing.

“Do you know that in a way, I’m being really honest?”

“What do you mean?”

“no.”

Mukbi turned his head.

All of Yeonhojeong’s appearances were shocking, but at least there were no lies. He never wore a mask if he thought it was his own.

Maybe that’s Yeonhojeong’s biggest charm.

“Let’s not stand there like an idiot and leave quickly.”

“What a moron!”

“We leave first.”

Paaaaang!

Mukbi ran down the mountain path at high speed.

Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.

It seems cold.

Boom!

Yeon Ho-jeong followed behind Muk-bi in an instant.

I thought I was following him, but before I knew it, he was right next to me. Mukbi stuck out his tongue.

“It’s getting faster day by day, isn’t it?”

“Because I try to be different every day.”

“How many consonants have you learned?”

“That didn’t mean anything.”

“yes?”

“I don’t know about other martial arts, but when it comes to Divine Law, I think it’s meaningless to ask what gender you are.”

In Yeon Ho-jeong’s opinion, the new law was simply a study that deepened infinitely.

In a way, it was similar to the Naegongsimbeop. Thinking about how deep your inner strength is, talking about how many castles or steps you can achieve is just a facade.

‘All I have to do is adapt my body to my enlightenment and that’s it.’

Phew!

Yeon Ho-jeong’s body became faster.

Even though he went faster, his posture didn’t change one bit. Although he had the posture of a stern scholar, his fighting spirit was visible, as if he could swing an ax at any time.

Mukbi’s eyes deepened.

‘He’s someone I have a lot to learn from.’

It is natural to forget what you learned in the past while learning various things.

Yeonhojeong was different. He did not forget everything he had learned and practiced, and he practiced it.

‘It’s not just because you’re smart or talented.’

Now I can finally understand the silence. How Yeonhojeong’s solid growth foundation was created.

‘The attitude toward life is different.’

I take with me everything I realized with my head and everything I acquired with my body. It seemed like he thought it was a world he couldn’t live in without doing that.

Regardless of whether it is actually possible, let’s first try and see. Even if it is impossible, we will face it.

This is because it is nothing more than an ideal and has no meaning if it is not pursued.

hook!

“But it’s still slow.”

“You are too fast.”

“joy.”

Papa papang!

Mukbi took a huge step and continued forward.

It was a terrifying new law. Yeon Ho-jeong, who was blankly looking at Muk-bi’s back, laughed inwardly.

‘It’s a good change.’

When I first saw Mukbi, she looked like a wall about to collapse.

But not now. I felt the affection of people living within the confines of my home, and came out to Zhejiang to see a side of Gangho.

Although he may have been confused, he remained silent and maintained a sane mind.

Yeonhojeong found that amazing.

“hey! Let’s go together! “Slow down!”

“Come quickly!”

“That damn thing!”

The two people climbed the mountain path and arrived at the foot of Makgansan Mountain in less than a day.

It was the result of one person frantically deploying new methods to avoid losing and the other to overcome. The two knew how to fill in each other’s shortcomings.

“Whoa, aren’t you hungry?”

“I feel like I’m going to die.”

“Here’s this.”

“oh? “Are they rice balls?”

“yes. There was minced pork inside. “It was seasoned well.”

“…I guess I’m destined to never be far from rice balls.”

“yes?”

“no. It’s big by the way. “I’ll be full just by eating one.”

The two people chewed their rice balls eagerly.

“I feel a little rested.”

“I won’t die.”

“I won’t die, though.”

Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi were people who lived very rough lives. Catching and eating rats and snakes was common, and there were many instances of digging up tree roots and eating them.

The two people, who have digestive power like steel, quickly digested even the sour rice balls.

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.

“Now, shall we take a moment to look for the horizon?”

“Is that so?”

It was the moment when Yeon Ho-jeong, who had relaxed his body, was about to run out with the ax on his shoulder.

‘….’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

Mukbi looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“….”

“Is there anything else I missed other than the greeting letter?”

“Shh.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was much more serious than expected.

Mukbi’s face also naturally became serious.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked around with sharp eyes like a hawk.

‘…what?’

Byeoknajingyeol soared, and the three divine energies of the Four Gods burned quietly.

‘I don’t have any feelings of energy?’

All I could see were trees, dirt, grass, and fallen leaves. The flowing mountain scenery was noble, and the blowing wind was not only cool, but cold.

I feel everything that can be felt in the autumn mountains. Other than that, I couldn’t feel anything.

‘But this air…’

I could feel the unpleasant smoke in the fresh air, sharp as a needle and sharp as a razor.

Yeon Ho-jeong said after looking around for a while.

“How many feet do you have?”

“yes?”

“arrow.”

Mo Fei looked down at the quiver of arrows.

“Twenty-four shots.”

“Twenty-four feet….”

Ugh.

He removed the Gwangryongbu from the shoulder blade and used Byeoknajingyeol.

The center of the body became stronger and the senses throughout the body became extremely sensitive.

“Save your arrows, just in case.”

Mukbi’s hand holding the Hongryeon Palace gained strength.

“Are you an enemy?”

“It’s a lifesaver.”

“Can I buy it?!”

“I don’t feel like I’m popular. But this unpleasant air… is probably spray.”

One of the things that the black sword is superior to the white sword is the presence of assassins.

Salsu, raised with determination in Heukdo, never sheds his will to live. Their skills were so great that they could fool even the best masters.

So how do you fight?

There is no way. You have to survive somehow and defeat it. If you don’t notice, you will die.

As you gain experience over and over again, you will eventually come to grasp something other than living.

It was a change in the atmosphere.

‘Strange.’

Yeon Ho-jeong became increasingly confident.

There are assassins specifically targeting you here. The increasingly stuffy air proved it.

‘Is there something else besides the lifesaver…?’

It was then.

Mukbi’s eyes sparkled.

“saw.”

“what?”

“There are two men under the mountain wearing clothes the color of old trees.”

It captured a distance so far away that it was difficult to see the current Yeonhojeong.

An archer’s eyesight is superior to that of any warrior. It was to the point where I learned specialized eye techniques separately.

His silent eyes, sharp as a hawk, caught the presence of Salsu.

‘then…?’

Yeon Ho-jeong shouted after examining the surrounding terrain.

“Go up!”

“yes?!”

“It’s a siege killing! “I’m trying to push it with numbers!”

Para la la rock!

At that moment, about two hundred assassins rushed from the bottom of the mountain.

It’s not an assassination. They adopted a strategy of organizing their forces and wiping them out in one fell swoop.

The most extreme attack method among the assassins’ tactics. After realizing that Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi had noticed their presence, they immediately went on the attack.

Pabababak!

He openly showed off his popularity. The creeping desire to live was a bonus.

Even though they were clearly assassins, Yeon Ho-jeong gritted his teeth at his behavior, which was completely unbecoming of an assassin.

“What are you doing, you bastards?”
