Episode 194 Backto hometown (6)
Half a day later.
âHuh, hasnât it been a while since you came to this personâs residence?â
âexactly?â
âIâve been wishing for it lately. âI think itâs the last time before the Tang Demon Slayer Army sets out.â
âBe careful to forget little things quickly.â
Youâre still so picky.
Moyong-gun smiled. The harsh nature of the party was actually a source of vitality for Mr. Moyong. This is because although the party clearly has considerable wisdom and coping skills, it did not try to hide itself.
To Prince Moyong, who spent his entire life hiding and setting traps to lure his enemies, Tang Gwan, who rose to the top of a family with an honest and arrogant personality, was quite a mysterious human being.
âNow, have a drink. âItâs Yongjeong.â
The official asked as he took the glass.
âYou said there wasnât much left.â
âHehe, this tea is only served to precious guests. âI personally donât enjoy it.â
âIf you are a distinguished guest, are you talking about Zhuge Wenhu?â
Zhuge Munho.
He is not the head of the Zhuge family or the Zhuge soldier, but the Zhuge scholar. The arrogance of the party remained.
Mo Yong nodded his head.
âOf course, the head of the Zhuge family is also an honored guest.â
I admit it honestly. The official, who was quietly watching Prince Moyong, took a sip of tea.
âWas this discussed in advance?â
It was a random question, but Moyong understood what he said right away.
âYou mean this Yangcheon case?â
âexactly.â
âNot long ago, the Zhuge family and the Yan family came to visit this person. âI want to investigate Yangcheon, but I need your help on how I can get there without getting caught.â
âSo you told me?â
âexactly.â
âwhy? Do you now feel like making peace with them?â
Itâs definitely unexpected.
Is it because my personality is different? Or is it because the chaos we went through was different?
I never thought I would react so sharply to this part. He was truly a person who gave me vitality in many ways.
âReconcile⦠What if we reconcile? âI think catching them off guard and then striking them in the back in a flashy way is a good way to do it.â
Prince Moyong licked his appetite and continued speaking.
âWell, I donât know if they will let down their guard when they see me like this. âIf anything, the more I doubted, the more I doubted.â
The gaze of the party official, which was as harsh as Hak Jeong-hong and as sharp as Heavy Rain Lee Hwa-chim, softened little by little.
âYou werenât trying to join hands with them?â
âThey are not a people that I would catch if I stretched out my hand.â
âI fully understand what you said, but for the sake of a smoother conversation, I would like you to give me an intuitive answer.â
Moyong-gun smiled.
âI didnât hold your hand. âThey are nothing more or less than people I need to defeat or scapegoats for my greed for power.â
The official nodded.
âI understand that this is a temporary period of holding hands.â
âThatâs correct.â
The official drank tea again. The heavy yet refreshing scent relaxed my mind and body.
âBut is he that dangerous?â
âYou mean Yangcheon?â
âexactly.â
âHow can someone who knows say such a thing? The Thirteen Saints are all monsters who have broken the limits of humanity. And Yang Cheon is the strongest fighter who holds one of the thirteen seats.â
âI donât know that. However, force and resourcefulness are not separate issues.â
Prince Moyong said in a bitter voice.
âActually, I also thought Yang Cheon was a robber who was only good at fighting. âUntil I receive a report on it.â Seará´h the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âDo you mean someone with brains?â
âI donât know if heâs a monster, but at least he doesnât seem like a great person worth dealing with.â
The officialâs eyes calmed down.
Are you not the person to deal with? The fact that such words came out of Moyonggunâs mouth meant that the other person was truly unusual.
So far, only two people have evaluated Moyong as a monster. However, those two were just young people full of potential, not perfect talents. It really isnât a disaster that canât be handled.
In other words, it can be said that Prince Moyongâs evaluation of Yangcheon is extremely high.
âIs that why you came forward?â
âhmm?â
âSo you negotiated with them to let you take charge of this operation?â
Moyong-gun chuckled.
âItâs not that we didnât have any intention of negotiating, but they were the ones who proposed first.â
The official frowned.
âFrom Zhuge Wenhuâs side?â
âexactly.â
âWhat kind of plan does that fox-like bastard have?â
âThere is no plan. âJust this time.â
âHow can you be so sure?â
âBecause no one would be bold enough to play around with such a serious issue.â
âHmm, then on the other hand, Zhuge Wenhoâs side may be suspicious of you to some extent.â
In the eyes of the party, Mr. Moyong was a person who could be bold enough if necessary.
Prince Moyong shook his head.
âI wonât take away the suspicion, but this time, they too will believe in this person. So, he must have come to see you in person.â
âwhy?â
âJegal Gaju, thatâs because he understands me to some extent.â
âIs Yang Cheon really that scary?â
Frost appeared on Prince Moyongâs face.
It was a rare expression. Prince Moyong was truly nervous.
âIn fact, it is a hundred times more difficult to calm down quick-witted cats than to control a pride of proud lions. But Yangcheon did it.â
âUnity of black people.â
âAs Zhuge Gaju said during the meeting earlier, we are one step below the Black Island in terms of intelligence power. âBut there is a reason why I didnât pay attention to it until now.â
âIs it because they didnât stick together?â
âThatâs correct.â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes sparkled.
âIt doesnât matter whether Yang Chen did it alone or with someoneâs help. âWhat is important is the fact that the deadly sword that cast snow across the central plains was placed in Yang Chenâs hands.â
âhmm.â
âThey say seeing is worth seeing, but I donât trust this guy named Yang Cheon. To put it bluntly, he is not a great person worth holding hands with. In other words, to me, he is like a bomb who cannot be an ally.â
The corner of the officialâs mouth rose.
âIt means we have no choice but to put up a united front.â
âI think so.â
Moyong-gun chuckled.
âPower is a monster. âIf you give it food and comfort it every time, you can raise its power like a dog, but if you ask it to do something here and there, from then on, even the owner will see it as prey.â
ââ¦.â
âEven if Yang Chen is a useful person, I have no intention of joining hands with him. why? âThe moment I hold hands with him, itâs clear that the bastard of power I want to cultivate will go crazy.â
âItâs powerâ¦.â
âI want to be a person who controls power, but I donât want to become a slave to power and remain an ugly, greedy person.â
Like so many powerful people throughout history?
The officer did not bother to spit out the words that were in his throat. Now was not the time to be sarcastic, as was my habit.
The official who was looking at Moyong-gun looked out the window and said,
âThey were satisfied.â
âhmm?â
âA public ambassador. âI was so happy to see you and that kid Yeonhojeong laughing and talking.â
Moyong-gun chuckled.
âDid you know?â
âA public ambassador is the same as the chairman of a public meeting. âIt must have been disgusting to see the ghosts struggling for power with the human who was the leader in the absence of a master.â
Heâs a sharp guy. Much more than you think.
Prince Moyong shook his head.
âOne day, he came to me, gave me a warning, and then left. âI answered yes and sent it back.â
âYou only believe in the status of Taishan North Tower and are making a fool of yourself about installing it. âIt doesnât seem like anything good will come of dealing with you for a long time.â
âThat is correct. A public ambassador is a sword without a handle. âThere is no one to hold it or attach a handle to it.â
âBecause itâs Shaolin?â
âBecause itâs Shaolin.â
Moyong-gun drank the tea.
âAnyway, my problem aside, what about you?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean Yeonhojeong. âExcept for the skills of a Tang family craftsman that he asked you to use.â
The official said with a worried expression.
âI came yesterday.â
âhmm?â
âThe item sent from my home has arrived. âA gift to give to that damn bastard and the army of death.â
* * *
Several carriages entered Pagungak.
âHmm.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the items piled up in the cart, smiled with satisfaction.
âgood. As expected, it is the best product.â
Yeonwi asked.
âDid it come from the Tang family?â
âThatâs right.â
âI guess Iâll see you sometime.â
There was surprise in Yeonwiâs eyes as he lifted the ink-colored round steel plate.
âThatâs amazing.â
âIs that so?â
âI canât believe that perpetual ink iron can be processed so gently. âThey say that the skills of Tang family craftsmen are world-class, but there was no exaggeration in that statement.â
âBesides, look at the weight of this. âWe made it as lightweight as possible while maintaining strength.â
âIs it alloy?â
âI guess so.â
Yeonwi stuck out her tongue.
âLight armor that the entire Mortal Army can wear.â
It is natural that light armor requires much less iron than heavy armor. In addition, in normal cases, light armor was often made of metal over layers of leather or cloth.
However, the light armor carried on the cart was different. The breastplate, nasal armor, shoulder armor, and gaiters were all made of a Tangga secret alloy made mainly of perpetual ink iron.
It is light armor for use against martial arts people, maintaining the highest strength and reducing the weight. It did not restrict movement and was light in weight, so it was perfect for use by the agile warriors.
Mukbiâs eyes sparkled.
âI guess all I need is a breastplate and pauldrons?â
âno. âKeep it all full.â
âDo we really have to do that?â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âI think itâs best to wear it as long as itâs not too heavy.â
âwhy?â
âIt is because of a sense of belonging that the military and each religious sect mass produce uniforms and uniform weapons. In addition, if training is good enough and morale is high, group cohesion also increases.â
âGroup cohesionâ¦â
Yeonwi nodded.
âHojeong is right. The Immortal Army is a military group made up of descendants of the Nine Great Gates and the Sixth Generation. âAlthough they follow the instructions of the military commander, Gojeong, there are probably quite a few who still think of their affiliation as Jafar, not the Mortal Army.â
âThatâs right. And from now on, I think we need to pay more attention to our titles. Armor and title exclusively for the Mortal Army. Just that small change can make you stronger.â
âGood idea.â
Mukbi tilted his head. It was still difficult to understand.
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Muk-bi.
âYou have to do it.â
âyes?â
âYou have to train them when Iâm away.â
Mukbiâs eyes widened.
âMy me?â
âIâll tell you the training schedule and intensity. However, you will have to adjust the gradual increase in intensity or appropriate rest on your own.â
âI⦠am good at that kind of thingâ¦.â
âDo it even if you donât have confidence. You are the commander of the Mortal Army. âWhen Iâm not around, you are the leader of the Mortal Army.â
âUgh.â
âLet me tell you one thing. âA leader can understand the feelings of his subordinates, but he must not pay attention to them.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âI know you are capable enough. âBelieve in yourself and lead boldly.â
âCough.â
Yeonwi asked.
âAnyway, there are about five days left until the expedition. Is there anything you can prepare in those days? If so, tell me. Abby will help you.â
âItâs okay. I think I just need to take good care of my body.â
âIs that so?â
âyes. Howeverâ¦â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked towards the west in the distance.
Murimmaeng Naejeong, with countless pavilions lined up beyond the wall.
Among them, the place where his consciousness was directed was Tangga.
âI think Iâd like to take just one more person.â
