Episode 155Notoriety and Fate (5)
Good moonlight night.
The faces of the two people who were having a drink on a table in the back garden, where no one was looking at them, looked quite bright.
âThere is no need to talk much. âLetâs have a drink first.â
âItâs good.â
Jjaeng.
The glasses clashed together, making a clear and beautiful sound.
Yeon Ho-jeong coolly emptied his glass.
âKyaaa!â
Cool.
I put down the burden on my shoulders for a moment and relieved all the accumulated fatigue. The body is light and the moonlight is good. Adding a glass of alcohol to it makes me feel drowsy.
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
âItâs a refreshing drink.â
âThereâs no way youâll be attacked while drinking.â
He is good at telling scary stories with a smile on his face. Mo Yong-woo said with a shocked expression.
âWas it very difficult?â
âThatâs just the way it is.â
Actually, considering the days of the Emperor of Darkness, it wasnât that difficult. Isnât that where all the fighting between death and death is?
However, he had to pay attention to the safety of the soldiers throughout the fight, and furthermore, he checked each and every one of the dark swords to see if there was anyone he knew from the past.
Is that why? It took a lot of mental energy at every moment. In fact, it was a schedule that caused greater mental fatigue than physical fatigue.
âare you okay. âI think I can just throw it all away from now on.â
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
âI donât know what happened, but you look very happy. Okay, thatâs enough.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âItâs obvious that this side did it, but I canât imagine how that side survived?â
ââ¦.â
âTell me how youâve been. âI donât even have any suitable snacks, so I guess Iâll have to use those as snacks and have a drink.â
Mo Yong-woo smiled brightly.
Itâs still the same. At the same time, something subtly changed.
It feels more human than when I saw it before. Mo Yong-woo liked the change in Yeon Ho-jeong.
Although I had only met Yeon Ho-jeong a few times, I was certain that he was not a bad person. Mo Yong-woo truly thought so.
âHe is a dependable younger brother.â
Because heâs not a bad person? That wasnât it.
Even if Yeon Ho-jeong was a heinous villain, I felt like I would think about him once in a while.
Why? Is it because he was the one who helped me come to my senses while I was curled up?
âno.â
Mo Yong-wooâs clear eyes contained twinkling starlight.
âThere is something about Yeonje that makes the viewer feel a sense of admiration.â
Yeon Ho-jeong was not the eldest son of a Yeon family renowned for its law and order. Sometimes it was rough and unconventional, and sometimes it was soft and humane.
Those conflicting personalities came together to create a unique atmosphere in Yeonhojeong.
I felt a sense of freedom, as if I could go anywhere once I moved, like I had wings.
âwhatâs the matter? âWhatâs on my face?â
âNo. âMaybe itâs because itâs been a while since Iâve seen you, but I thought you were a younger brother I could really rely on.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âItâs bland.â
âIf possible, Iâd like to drink a little more leisurely, but wouldnât it be better to finish talking about work first?â S~eaÊá´h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âyes.â
Mo Yong-woo explained in detail how he had been and what had happened over the past years.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes widened.
âDanga?â
âThatâs right.â
âWhere is the Jungwon battlefield going and suddenly we have to go to the party?â
âYou must have thought that Dangga was better than the central battlefield.â
âHmm.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âCertainly, if a power war is assumed, the party line is better than the midfield battleground. Moreover, since Danggaju is also a feudal lord, it would be good to push for something during the vassal meeting.â
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
âI think so too. Butâ¦â
He could not easily continue speaking.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âwhy? âIs it okay to marry someone youâve never seen before?â
âThatâs right.â
Mo Yong-woo sighed deeply.
âHow many people in this world get married after building love first? I also never thought I could escape such a rigid relationship. Butâ¦â
âBecause of Moyong-gun?â
ââ¦Thatâs right.â
The two planned to oust Prince Moyong in the future.
However, Prince Moyong was trying to join hands with Danggwan of Danggaju. In other words, it will become a party and political community.
What if the Tang family cannot be excluded from driving out Prince Moyong?
Mo Yong-woo has to kill not only his brother but also his wifeâs family.
âItâs worth worrying about.â
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say that Mo Yong-wooâs decision was half-hearted and that he joined hands with me without any determination.
This is because it is a sufficiently worrying problem. Also, because Mo Yong-woo had such humanity, they thought of appointing him as the Murim lord.
âActually, I was surprised when the story about the eldest daughter of the Jungwon battlefield came up. âI never thought that you would try to join hands with a new force through me.â
âStrengthening the power base through marriages between powerful families is a method that has been frequently used since ancient times.â
âAh yes. âI know, but since Iâm the target, I canât help but worry a lot.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âSay it out loud. âItâs a useless worry.â
âAre you saying itâs useless to worry?â
âI heard you havenât even met the girl from the Tang family yet?â
Mo Yong-woo said as if he was embarrassed.
âOf course it is. But my brother and the head of the party will somehow push itâ¦â
âThat canât be possible.â
âhmm?â
Unlike Mo Yong-wooâs starry eyes, Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes were as intense as the sun.
âThe Moyong-gun I know never gives up on himself when faced with a choice between two options.â
ââ¦!â
âMoyong-gunâs words are sincere. âIf you donât like the partyâs wife, I will break off the marriage.â
âOf course I think so too.â
âThen thereâs nothing to worry about, right?â
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
âLet go of the heavy burden of family bonding and meet each other first.â
ââ¦.â
âJust because you two met without words, itâs not like your family is going to push you to get married right away, right? âItâs literally just a matter of meeting each other.â
âThatâs true, butâ¦â
âWhy? âDo you want to lose your mind as soon as you meet?â
âYeo Yeon-je!â
Mo Yong-wooâs face turned red. Just thinking about it made him feel embarrassed.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled. He seems like a naive guy.
âDonât feel pressured. Itâs about people meeting people. Even if we try to attach various meanings to it, it is nothing more than idle talk. There is a saying that seeing is worth seeing.â
Mo Yong-woo sighed deeply.
âYeonje is right. âMaybe the reason I feel uncomfortable is because there was no pure intention in the meeting itself.â
âHow many people would want to meet with pure intentions? âWere my intentions in coming to you pure?â
ââ¦.â
âItâs all like that. It is better to throw away the thoughts that say this is different or that is okay. Of course, there are some issues that cannot be negotiated.â
âWhoa.â
I came here to say it was a good place, but somehow I just keep sighing. A bitter look appeared on Mo Yong-wooâs face.
Yeon Ho-jeong filled his glass.
âWell then, change your mind.â
âhmm? âWhat does it mean to change your mind?â
âIf you donât like the partyâs womenâs food, thereâs nothing you can do. But what if you like it?â
Mo Yong-wooâs expression suddenly became serious.
âThen you especially shouldnât get married. âNot only for that person, but also for me.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled strangely.
âCorrect. Itâs romantic. But I think we need to expand our thinking a little further.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWhy canât you think of making that person completely yours?â
ââ¦!!â
âYouâre giving up because you like it? Itâs funny. If you like it, move as your heart desires. So what if you get married? âThen thatâs good.â
Mo Yong-woo opened his mouth wide.
âThink about it later. Isnât it already painful to live under your brother while hiding your true feelings? âI donât think itâs a bad idea to relieve fatigue by meeting someone you love.â
ââ¦if.â
âhmm?â
âWhat if the person is greatly shocked? No, thatâs probably true.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
âAt that time, you have to accept all of the other personâs resentment.â
ââ¦.â
âYou are not meeting that person for the sake of the Mo Yong family to gain the power of the Tang family. Because things have come to this, we are meeting. âAt least you have no intention of hurting the other person.â
ââ¦.â
âStill, if you still feel bad about it, you can say that you will not marry after meeting the daughter of the party tomorrow. âThat is all.â
In the end, everything was meant to be met and decided.
Mo Yong-woo, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, smiled bitterly.
âIâm sorry. âI showed my ugly side as an older brother.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âhuh?â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âI never acknowledged you as my older brother? âThe fact that you called me âyounger brotherâ is just what you want, isnât it?â
âwhat?â
Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong in surprise, laughed out loud.
âha ha ha!â
The sound of pure laughter filled the night sky.
Suddenly I thought about it and wondered how long it had been since I had laughed so brightly. It really seemed as if all the anxiety and worries that were in my heart were blown away.
Mo Yong-woo, who laughed for a while, then spoke calmly.
âItâs time to sort out our titles. âCall me brother.â
âno.â
âwhy? âI know Iâm lacking, but at least I have the confidence to remain as Yeon-jeâs older brother.â
âDo not be ridiculous. âI donât want to have an ugly person who complains about problems with the opposite sex as my older brother.â
âFor everyone, the first time is rough.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Mo Yong-woo, turned his head and drank.
âWow, itâs refreshing.â
Mo Yong-woo cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
âItâs just something I tried. âIf you donât like it, I donât plan on forcing you to be sworn brothersâ¦â
âIâll meet you at the partyâs dinner tomorrow.â
âhuh?â
âDonât lose sight of who you are today and meet well. âDonât make mistakes like a fool.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes shone mysteriously in the pouring moonlight.
âWhen I return from a good meeting like a man, I will call you brother.â
Mo Yong-wooâs face brightened.
âDonât worry. Even though I look like this, I still have a manly sideâ¦â
âNothing.â
âThere it is! âWhat do you think of me?â
âwell? âThe other half doesnât know how to use their natural talent?â
âHuh, what is your habit of speaking to your brother?â
âNoisy.â
Mo Yong-woo burst into laughter.
It was a good spot. It was truly a good spot. Mo Yong-woo felt truly fortunate to come to Yeon Ho-jeong tonight.
Several orders of alcohol were passed around like that.
âHave you seen all the people who will join Tangma County?â
âI saw it.â
âHow was it?â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes lit up.
âThey were all outstanding people.â
âI guess so. âMoyong-gun must have paid a lot of attention.â
âAnd there is one thing we need to discuss about that.â
âWhat? How to control your subordinates?â
âIâll take care of that, so donât worry.â
âThereâs something strangely powerful about this part. So, what do you want to discuss?â
Mo Yong-woo said seriously.
âI guess Iâll have to eat one of my brotherâs pieces.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
âAre you going to take a hit?â
âI guess so.â
âhmm.â
âAs for this situationâ¦â
âItâs okay. âYou donât have to talk about that.â
âBut wouldnât it be better to keep it?â
âI know about your relationship with Moyong without even looking at it. Besides, I think it would be confusing if I knew too much about it. âThere is room for mistake when I meet Mr. Moyong in the future.â
âHmm, I see.â
âAre you doing well?â
âI think so.â
âThen thatâs enough. Just keep doing it like you did before.â
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
âI will take one item⦠Hmm, what should I give to Moyong-kun that he will like?â
âThere is no need to overdo it. âI just thought it was time to impress my presence on my brother.â
âIf you want to show off your presence, it would be best to hand over something fairly thick without raising suspicion.â
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled. A good idea came to mind.
âWhen is the Tangma armyâs scheduled departure date?â
