Episode 197Head-on attack (1)
Teeeeing! puck!
The arrow split the air and immediately pierced the iron plate.
There was joy on Mukbiâs face.
âdone.â
No matter how excellent the tension of the Hongryeongung is, it cannot pierce the iron plate if it is not properly loaded with energy.
But not like this time. She only put a very small amount of energy into her arrow.
An arrow that would have bounced off in the past pierced the iron plate. This is because instead of reducing the amount of internal power, the method of operating internal power was changed.
âThe martial arts are really endless.â
Just by changing my thoughts, the power of the arrow changed.
It was a diversity of martial arts implementation that was not learned in Gwanilgok. Her unique archery skills, created through countless battles, hard work, and deep agony, were finally blossoming.
âThatâs amazing.â
âah! âFather has arrived.â
âokay.â
Yeonwi smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the holey iron plate.
âHalf of the power previously contained. You were able to break through the iron plate with that much force. âIt means that your concentration and internal energy management have grown to the next level.â
There was honest joy on Mukbiâs face. I knew it myself, but I felt reassured when Yeonwi directly confirmed it.
âItâs thanks to my father. âIf you hadnât given me advice in time, I wouldnât have thought of it.â
âAnyone can give advice. âThe problem is how to accept it.â
Yeonwi tapped her shoulder.
âYour greatest strength is not your natural talent. He has the attitude of being able to seriously think about anything he hears. âIn the realm of martial arts, there is no talent as great as not being stubborn.â
Mukbiâs face turned red.
The Yeonwi was clear in its praise and criticism. However, it was usually the criticism that carried more weight. If you do well, thatâs it, but if you do poorly, it can lead to death in actual combat.
In other words, receiving this level of praise meant that the silent attitude was that impressive. Mukbi is also particularly happy because he knows this.
Yeonwi asked calmly.
âDo you know?â
âyes?â
âLee Gak Jeon Ho-jeong has gone on a mission.â
Unexpectedly, Mukbiâs expression was calm.
âyes. âI left after talking about it earlier.â
Yeonwi, who had been silent, spoke again.
âArenât you disappointed?â
Mukbi filed a complaint.
âIt was like that at first. âEven if itâs not the best, I thought it would be helpful in some way, but I thought that if I wasnât trustworthy enough, they wouldnât take me away.â
These things are naturally revealed in front of the committee. Mukbi also became increasingly comfortable dealing with Yeonwi.
âDoes this mean you think differently now?â
âyes.â
Mukbi looked up at the sky.
The weather has become chilly. The clouds were just right.
âWhen I think about it, he has never once ignored me since I first met him. âWe joked around a lot, but even then there were clear lines.â
âI see.â
âEven if it seems like they are being rude on the outside, they never want to hurt the other personâs feelings if they think of it as their own.â
Yeonwi smiled.
Mukbi is kind, but rarely reveals his true feelings. The fact that she said this meant that she completely trusted her son.
âIâm fortunate that the first person I met when I came out into the world was a practitioner.â
âI see.â
Mukbi wore Hongryeon Palace on his back.
âThose who are leaving have left, and those who remain must start their own work.â
Yeonwi nodded.
âYou are right. âAs there is no Gojeong, the fight on this side will become quite fierce.â
It was said that it would be difficult in many ways, whether it was political strife or training for the army of death.
The shadow cast by Yeonhojeong was large and dark. Before he knew it, his presence remained strong not only to Muk Fei but also to the leaders of his father, Zhuge Wenhu, a Yanwei soldier, and Meng.
âAre you going to train the Mortal Army?â
âyes. âWe also have to deliver light armor.â
âI get it.â
Yeonwi, who was about to leave Pagungak first, asked as if he had suddenly remembered something.
âAre you okay with the time in the evening?â
âyes? Ah yes! are you okay.â
âI guess my work will be over by the time I get married. âIf the time permits, letâs have a meal together.â
Mukbi smiled brightly.
âyes!â
* * *
Yeon Ho-jeong and his party, who left the Murim Alliance, passed through Hubei and headed toward Gwiju Castle.
The presumed location of Yangcheon was Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province.
If you wanted to take the shortest route, there would be no problem if you came down to Hubuk, crossed the river, and entered straight into Honam. However, Yeonhojeong adhered to secret movements from the time he joined the alliance.
When Dang Sang-ah asked the reason, Yeon Ho-jeong answered as follows.
âThey are keeping a close eye on the Murim Alliance. They might even be investigating people coming and going. If thatâs the case, weâll have no choice but to be even more concerned about those heading to the base.â
It was a simple yet valid reason. It would be a bit of a long way back, but it was definitely necessary.
Yeon Ho-jeong trusted his own judgment, and Gaeung-sang and Jegal A-yeon judged his words to be trustworthy.
âAnd senior.â
âYou tell me.â
âSenior, please enter western Honam first.â
Paeyul raised his eyebrows.
âalone?â
âThis is to reduce suspicion. âIf you go first and take a seat, weâll take our time and turn around.â
âDoes that have any meaning?â
âof course.â
âI see. âI donât know what youâre doing that for.â
The group, excluding Paeyul, passed through the southwest of Hubei and entered Guizhou Province in one month.
If he had made up his mind and used the divine law, he would have reached the distance several days faster than that. It was delayed because we had to move carefully.
So the group entered a small guest house in the northernmost part of Guizhou Province.
âWhew, I guess Iâll live a little longer now.â
Full-sang scratched his head.
âThank you for your hard work. âThis is a guesthouse operated by the main room, so you can rest in peace.â
The group started by taking a bath in hot water to relieve the accumulated fatigue. One surprising thing is that Full Sang went to wash first.
Zhuge Yan asked mischievously.
âThen arenât you really going to be kicked out of your post?â
âJust what I was hoping for.â
If you want to infiltrate the enemyâs territory directly, you must not be exposed to the degree of openness. In the end, Gaeun-sang had no choice but to break the rules.
The sight of Full-sang, who had removed all the old grime and appeared wearing a white cloth over a well-fitting military uniform, was truly surprising.
Zhuge Zhenyeon opened his mouth like a crucian carp.
âWow! âIs that right?â
âThen who could it be?â
âHow dare you hide your face like this in the world? âI always wash up!â Seará´h the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âWhy does a beggar wash with water so wastefully?â
Full-sang grumbled, but it was actually worth making such noises.
Not only was he quite tall and had a solid physique, but he also had clear five senses, and his appearance was enough to make you admire him. He was so young that it seemed like he could be considered a nobleman just by looking at his well-dressed appearance.
Dang Sang-ah secretly asked Yeon Ho-jeong.
âWill Hu-kai also enter the enemy camp?â
âThatâs right. Because we need to deliver news from both sides quickly. In fact, even without all that, itâs hard to find someone as good at improvisation as that guy.â
âokay.â
âwhy? Is there something wrong with you?â
âSomething crucial is at stake.â
Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.
âwhat is that?â
âItâs the discrepancy between appearance and speech.â
That was a sharp point.
His appearance is no different from that of a nobleman, but his manner of speaking is so informal that even a civil servant would turn a blind eye. This was a much more serious problem than I thought.
Full-sang looked at Yeonho-jeong with sad eyes.
âDo I really have to change my way of speaking? Isnât that right? âPlease tell me no.â
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a shaky voice.
âBecause there are many people with strong personalities in the world. On the contrary, that aspect may seem naive.â
âHehe, I thought you would understand me!â
âStill, I recommend that you remain quiet if possibleâ¦â
The group, all sobered, finished eating and gathered in one room.
Full-sang quenched his appetite.
âItâs definitely humid in Guizhou. Even though itâs winter soon.â
Zhuge Yan received his words.
âThey say that if you do something wrong, you will end up suffering from an endemic disease. âThe humidity is high and the vegetation is thick, so there are a lot of bugs.â
âBugs are just enough for daily food when youâre hungry.â
âYuck.â
âWhy is this like this? Then starve to death? I have to survive by chewing bugs. Isnât that right, Dan Soje?â
Tang Sang-ah said with an awkward expression.
âIâve never eaten it beforeâ¦â
âUgh?â
Full Sang tilted his head.
âDang Sojeo also learned the poison technique, right? Have you ever slept while practicing solo attack? âThere are so many poisonous insects in the world.â
âLearning poison doesnât make you eat bugs. Of course, I donât really have any objection to bugs, butâ¦â
âHuh, really?â
Tang Sang-ah cleared his throat. Although she wasnât a shy person, she couldnât help but feel burdened by Moon Geun-sangâs extreme friendliness.
âNow, letâs get things sorted out.â
Yeon Ho-jeong clapped his hands to attract attention and continued.
âYou may have heard before, but from now on, we belong to the Martial Order Gate.â
The Mujongmun was a mysterious sect known to have gone extinct over a hundred years ago.
Surprisingly, their martial arts skills were evaluated as not being significantly inferior to those of the Old Daemun faction. This is because there was not a single weak person among the martial arts people who declared themselves to be from the Mujongmun at that time.
However, there were also evaluations that their martial arts skills were inconsistent.
Shaolin Temple Shaolin Templeâs own volcanic sect, just as each sect has its own martial arts characteristics, there is a flow of martial arts pursued by each sect, but there was no such thing in the Mujong mun. Their martial arts boasted a variety of depths, as if masters from various sects gathered together to form a sect.
However, after going down the path of extinction for some reason about a hundred years ago, the name of Mujongmun was no longer heard.
âIt has been forgotten by the world, and there are so many different types of martial arts, so there will be no suspicion even if we each use different martial arts.â
The three men and women nodded.
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to Full Sang.
âBut itâs best to be careful with your titles. From now on, Hugae will be in charge of executing this group.â
âDo I really have to take care of that?â
âYouâre the oldest.â
âThen what is the loss rate?â
âSenior, this is your private residence.â
âIâm young, but what about the youngest?â
âLetâs move on.â
âTsk.â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Dang Sang-ah.
âSoldier Dang Sang-ah is the second. âThe reason is the same.â
âyes.â
âAnd I am the third. The fourth is zinc.â
Zhuge Zhen was furious.
âHey, why am I the youngest? Iâm a year older than you! âIâm giving this to my friend, so even my sister doesnât know.â
âI am the one who needs to move the most. Moreover, anyone who is quick-witted can tell that my martial arts skills are the deepest among the three. âEven if you are the third child, it will feel strange if you introduce him as the youngest.â
âOkay.â
It wasnât wrong. Still, as if he couldnât help but feel dissatisfied, Jegal Zhenâs mouth popped out.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes gave off a serious glow.
âBased on the information so far, there is a high probability that Yangcheon is located in Changsha, Hunan Province. However, considering the scale of the Black Islands he has controlled so far, it can be said that his eyes are spread over the entire Hunan Province.â
Full-sang nodded.
âThe reports from the disciples here are similar. âThe moment you enter Hunan Province, your eyes will follow you.â
âBut I wonât travel along mountain paths or waterways.â
âIf I go to Guando confidently, there wonât be any suspicion, right?â
âexactly.â
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Dang Sang-ah.
âIn other words, your capabilities will be needed as soon as we enter Hunan Province.â
âyes? âMy abilities?â
Come to think of it, I havenât heard anything about my role in this mission.
Tang Sang-ah was embarrassed. It was absurd to think to myself that I had never thought of such an obvious thing until now.
âWhat can I do?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.
A very ominous smile. Ga Deuk-sang clicked his tongue, saying, âItâs the beginning again.â Jegal Zhen-yeon was disgusted.
âIf the eyes of the black sword are focused on us, immediately kill it with a memorized weapon.â
