Episode 273Welcoming Guests (5)
âHmm.â
Yeonwi looked around.
It was snowing again. I pulled it up to my inner strength and swept it away in an instant, but in the meantime, two layers of snow had piled up on the ground.
âItâs pouring a lot.â
I wondered if there was a need to use the snow that would have piled up anyway, but in the end, it would be easier to walk if I swept it away. Moreover, once it comes, it piles up to almost a foot high, so if you keep leaving it on, it will eventually become more difficult.
Swish swish.
Yeonwi wiped her eyes again.
There was plenty of time and there was nothing special to do. Moreover, as I continued to use my eyes, I stopped having random thoughts, so it was surprisingly effective as a meditation.
How much time has passed like that?
âhmm?â
Yeonwi, who had stopped, started sweeping the broom again.
After a while.
âItâs a bizarre sight.â
Yeonwi looked at the gate.
Beyond the open gate, I saw a guesthouse dressed in fur.
âThe head of the sixth generation is sweeping the yard. Is there nothing to do?â
Yeonwi said calmly.
âI have some time left today.â
âAre you not thinking about ordering your subordinates to do this?â
âThere are no subordinates. And whether my subordinates or I do it, if itâs someone elseâs job to do, wouldnât it be better for me to do it?â
âGood words.â
His unique sarcastic tone of voice remains the same. The voice was as sharp as before.
Yeonwi put both hands on the tip of the broom.
âSo why did you come all this way without any message?â
âDo you have any alcohol?â
Yeonwi smiled.
âI have some very good liquor.â
The official snorted.
âI will give you a chance to apologize. âIf it is not a good drink, I will never accept your apology for the rest of my life.â
âDonât worry. There is Confucius liquor that was imported directly from Shandong. I heard that compared to last year, manufacturing volume was only one-third. âI was sweating to save you.â
The official snorted.
âYou said you were the king of the world, but in the end you were the king of a study family?â
âThis one is especially better. âTry it yourself and youâll see what I mean.â
âjoy!â
The party hall entered Pagungak.
âStop sweeping the broom and try setting up a drinking table. âYou donât have to pay for snacks.â
âLetâs do that.â
The official looked around.
âI donât feel any energy. âYou said you went to escort a woman called West Station Lady, but it looks like sheâs already left?â
This is probably referring to Yeonhojeong. Yeonwi nodded.
âHe left three days ago.â
âItâs good that thereâs no annoying person.â
âHehehe.â
âWhy are you smiling so much?â
âWouldnât that mean this person is okay? âI feel sorry for your son, but wouldnât I be better than that guy?â
âYou are free to be mistaken. âI will find out whether you are truly a good person or not only when you receive the glass.â
âGood.â
The Yeonwi, holding a broom, led the building to the first floor door.
âPlease come in.â
* * *
âHuh! âHuh!â
Kang Ryangâs eyes were completely opened.
That wasnât all. His entire body was full of unusual stab wounds, and each one was very deep. The cut was so deep that if the blade had gone in just a little deeper, it would have severed the bone.
âThatâs all for today.â
âWow! Thank you for your hard work!â
âYou worked hard too.â
Slurp!
Kang-ryang collapsed.
The snow field, which was pure white without a single blemish, was stained red with blood. It was a sight that anyone could mistake for a massacre.
Mo Yong-woo, who was watching the twoâs match from afar with his arms crossed, stuck out his tongue.
âCommander Yeon.â
âJust call me like you normally do. âYou donât have to hide it from them.â
ââ¦Yeonje.â
âwhy?â
Prince Moyong shook his head.
âIsnât it too cruel to do it? âYou really almost killed Prosecutor Kang.â
Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.
âIf youâre going to die doing this, itâs better to just die.â
âher! âThe series is really strong.â
âThe ghost sword he mastered pursues a strong sword that is both rogue and practical. âItâs the same with his nature. If you donât push him like this, he wonât be able to reach his true intention even if he goes on for the rest of his life.â
âHmm.â
âOtherwise, you have to learn it in a bloody battle, but it is better to learn it by getting a few hits from a skilled expert.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes lit up.
âI heard that your Four Gods Martial Arts are also martial arts on the battlefield.â
âItâs nothing compared to Sasinmu. Thatâs whatâs so great about ghost swords. It is an extremely strong and practical topic and has a very deep sense of swordsmanship. âMaybe if I just focus on kendo, I can become as strong as anyone in my later years?â
âBut why are you pushing it so hard?â
âBoth he and I are impatient to wait until later in life.â
These were truly Yeonhojeong-like words.
Mo Yong-woo quenched his appetite.
âLetâs stay on base today. If you do that, Prosecutor Kang is really dead⦠huh?â
Pusssss.
Kang-ryang staggered to his feet. Although his breathing was still rough, his gestures of shaking the snow off his body showed some strength.
Mo Yong-wooâs mouth dropped open.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âAre you scared?â
âHow?â
âHe is naturally very physically strong, and when he concentrates on the Demon King True Energy he has mastered, he boasts a recovery power that is almost at the level of magic. âIn about three or four days, you will be able to reverse all the injuries you just suffered as if they never happened.â
âomg!â
You can recover from all those severe internal and external injuries in three or four days. Mo Yong-woo couldnât believe it.
âWhoa.â
Kang Yang took a deep breath. Although he had good recovery ability, his complexion was pale, probably because he had lost so much blood.
âYour brother is truly merciless.â
âLet him recover as much as possible by tomorrow. Because weâll stick together again. âYou also need to know how to deal with things when they are not in perfect condition.â
âyes.â
They were two people who were good at exchanging nonsense.
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
âAnyway, like you said, it would be better to stay on base today. âWe ran out of food.â
What I admired the most was not Kang Yang, but silence.
âGood. âIt should have been done right away.â
âDo you want to take a shower?â
ââ¦Really.â
âI was just asking, but arenât you overreacting?â
âItâs so loud!â
So the group headed to a base in Chaoyang County, Hubei Province.
The base running was bigger than expected. There were a lot of people and the atmosphere was very lively.
âIâm resting well. âIâm going to visit the open branch for a moment.â
âAre you going alone? Just wait a moment. âWash up and go together.â
âNo, itâs okay. âWash up first.â
Yeon Ho-jeong found the branch of openness that way.
The branch was located not far from Chaoyang County. In fact, the branch of openness spread like a spiderâs web throughout the central plains, so wherever you went, there was always at least one hidden place.
âI am Yeon Ho-jeong, the commander of the Murim Leagueâs Confucian Army.â Seará´h the NovelÆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI was informed in advance. Thank you for your hard work in coming this far. âWhat information should I give you first?â
âFirst, letâs start with the West Station priestess.â
The branch manager spoke as if he had been waiting.
âThe West Station Priestess is currently staying in Sanggo County, Gangseo Province. âI guess they plan to take care of the patients as much as possible until Commander Yeon arrives.â
âRight.â
âJustâ¦â
âHmm?â
The branch manager frowned.
âIt appears that the information that the West Region Goddess is heading to the Murim League has been secretly spread. âIt is said that the Gangseo Province Lawmakersâ Association is controlling medicinal substances.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face also frowned.
âYouâre doing something like that even though thereâs a sick patient?â
âIf youâre sick, donât get checked by her, but come to us.â
âWhy are there all these crazy people?â
âThatâs right. However, because the coalition of lawmakers exists throughout the entire Central House and their influence is so powerful, it is difficult to criticize them openly.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes grew cold.
âIf itâs just a little jealousy, those people are crossing the line.â
âIâm telling you this just in case, but if youâre thinking of touching them even if just by chance, youâd better move carefully.â
âIâve seen many cases where people fail to do what they need to do due to being cautious.â
The branch manager sighed. Byeoksanho Chief Yeon Ho-jeong was said to have a fiery temperament, but looking at the situation, the Gangseo-seong Assemblymanâs Association seemed to be in trouble.
Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand.
âDonât worry so much. âWe will monitor the situation and respond flexibly.â
âAll right.â
Only then did relief appear on the branch managerâs face. Actually, no matter how fiery his temperament is, it would be very difficult for someone who is called the best reviewer in the world to get out.
Of course, the branch manager did not know the extent of the flexibility that Yeon Ho-jeong mentioned.
âAnyway, weâd better get there as quickly as possible. âThank you.â
âno. âIs there anything else youâd like to know?â
A smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
âFather said that the second child is continuing to spread news to the government.â
âAh, you are referring to the scholar Yeon Ji-pyeong.â
âexactly.â
âPlease wait a moment.â
The branch manager, who was rummaging through a pile of documents, soon approached holding a piece of paper.
âThey say it hasnât been long since we left. It has currently entered Anhui Province and is said to probably pass through Jiuhua Mountain (ä¹è¯å±±) and enter Jiangxi Province before heading north.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs expression brightened noticeably.
To get to the Henan Murim League from Jiangsu Province, where Yeonga is located, simply cross the river from Anhui and enter Henan Province.
Nevertheless, there was a high probability that the reason he bothered to pass through Guhua Mountain and enter Gangseo Province was to come see him.
âJipyeong.â
Yeon Ho-jeong thought of Yeon Ji-pyeong.
His white and gentle face and clear, deep eyes were full of the innocence and righteousness of a boy.
âHow have you been?â
I was so busy that I barely even thought about my brother. Now that I think about it, two years have already passed.
âYou must have grown up a lot by now, right?â
There are less than ten days left until the year ends. My younger brother is now eighteen years old.
âI wonder how much it has grown.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was smiling happily, nodded.
âThank you. âYou can still hear news about Jipyeong from other branches, right?â
âof course. It wasnât a very distant area, and people from higher up as well. âYou can hear news about your brother anywhere.â
âThank you.â
âYou say all kinds of things. I wish you all the best on your future journey.â
Thatâs how Yeonhojeong left the open branch.
People kept glancing at Yeon Ho-jeong as he walked down the street, lost in thought.
Not only is he tall and wearing light armor, but he also has an ax the size of a human body strapped to his shoulder. Of course, attention couldnât help but be focused.
âCouldnât it be⦠no?â
âOh no way. âProbably not.â
âBut that big ax⦠it looks really heavy, doesnât it? âWho else would carry an ax like that, other than the rumored wall coral leader?â
âAxes are popular these days because of the wall coral fence. âCould it be that that young man is really the head of the wall coral?â
âIs that so?â
Even though he gave me a long and reserved look, no one was willing to come up and talk to me.
Either way, Yeon Ho-jeong was only focused on thinking.
âWe are controlling the medicineâ¦? âWas the power of the lawmakersâ coalition really that strong?â
I knew at least that a coalition of lawmakers existed. However, I only knew that they existed, but I did not know the extent of their influence.
âItâs not something that can simply be dismissed as the work of a western station maiden.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âIn order to create a specialized clinic in the Murimmaeng, smooth distribution of medicinal materials is essential. âIt would be quite a headache if a coalition of lawmakers controlled it.â
A sigh came out of my mouth.
âIâm starting to pay attention to the oddest things. Iâd better not think about anything today and get some rest.â
That was when Yeon Ho-jeong returned to base.
âWow!!â
Tremendous cheers erupted from the top tier of the bases.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the upper floor and felt his eyesight turn dark.
ââ¦Have you come on a picnic, you guys?â
Where the cheers erupted, three familiar prayers were waving.
