Episode 277Where does conflict come from (2)
ââ¦thatâs how it came out?â
âThatâs right. âTheir spirit was so vicious that we had no choice but to listen to them for now. The head of the Hubei branch of the station was contacted.â
âif? âYou brought medicine to that witch?!â
âFor now, yes.â
âYou idiot! âYou canât believe you made such a mistake!â
âyes? âA mistake?â
âThe two men who are the strongest late exponents of the Murim League at the time and the two-headed chariot of the Murim Leagueâs remnant troops have tremendous influence. âI donât know if they themselves know it, but it is no exaggeration to say that their reputation is comparable to that of the Great Moon Sectâs elder level or higher.â
âThatâs right. So even more soâ¦.â
âSince they have built such a reputation at such a young age, how much must those around them keep in check against those two! âIf those two really want to attack us, we can immediately report this drastic action to the Murim Allianceâs vassals!â
âahâ¦!â
âOur Uisinhoe is an association of lawmakers that continues the orthodox tradition of the Central Powers. What would the civilian world think of the warriors of the Murim League who oppress such lawmakers?!â S~eaÊá´h the NovelÆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI see. âNo matter what threats those two make, the Murim Alliance cannot easily touch us.â
âItâs not just that you canât touch it; you can never touch it! âAs long as we donât do something clearly wrong!â
âOh myâ¦â
âI put him in the position of branch leader because of his skills and good reputation, but I should have appointed someone who was good at politics. âIt was said that reporting after prior measures is prohibited except in extreme circumstances.â
âWhat should I do now?â
âWhat should I do? âWe have to move on to the next plan!â
âIf this is your next plan⦠no way?!â
âSending the reversal station to them was not to persuade them. Even though Yeon Ho-jeong doesnât know, Mo Yong-woo is a person with whom he can communicate, so he was sent to make him aware of the danger of witches. âIn the first place, we didnât think that these idiots who didnât even know anything about medicine would immediately believe us.â
âButâ¦â
âI sent you just to plant a seed of doubt, but you ended up being defeated by their threats like idiots. There really is no answer. âHow can you do great things by trusting someone like that?â
âVice Lord, but the opponent is the Murim Alliance. Just as the Vice Lord said, if we carry out that plan, the Murim Alliance will try to invade us in earnest.â
âDoes not matter. âBecause we wonât be revealed to the front anyway.â
âThe head of the Gayeokso branch said that from now on, any external pressure or attack on that witch will be regarded as our doing.â
âHave you forgotten everything I just said?! Those two guys can never touch us! âWe will use that time to attack the Murim Allianceâs vassals.â
âahâ¦!â
âI didnât know that when I was naively learning medicine. But you too will soon realize. The world cannot survive on skill alone. It is a place where politics, intrigue, betrayal, and trickery run rampant. âIf the world were that dirty, we too would have no choice but to step into the mud to survive.â
ââ¦.â
âGet ready! Right Now!â
âOh, I understand.â
* * *
next day.
Heeheeheehee!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was leading the horse, had a frozen face.
Mo Yong-woo shouted.
âYeonje!â
âwhy?â
âIs there anything that could catch me? âI know itâs time to move quickly, but it still seems too urgent.â
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âI donât know what kind of organization the Uishinhoe is, but in any case, if itâs the head of a branch that controls Hubei Province, it must have a lot of influence.â
âI think so too.â
âBut something keeps happening.â
âYou got caught? âWhat do you mean?â
ââ¦well.â
Aside from everything else, this was their first time coming into contact with an organization called Uishinhoe.
We donât know what their goals are or where and how they operate. In fact, it was the first time I heard of an organization called Uisinhoe in Yeonhojeong, which went through the time of the Emperor of Darkness.
âHas history changed? A newly created organization? Or was it something that existed back then, but was carried out completely below the surface?â
I couldnât figure it out.
The important thing was that the public did not know much about the organization called Uisinhoe. If there was even the slightest possibility of becoming entangled with them, Geung-sang would have tipped off first.
âThat means we have no way of predicting what they will do.â
In reality, it may be an unremarkable organization. However, the mere fact that their existence was not revealed on the surface was enough to warrant vigilance.
Mo Yong-woo said.
âIs it because you think they might really attack the West Region priestess?â
âI donât know. âIn my head, I donât think thatâs possible, but I keep getting caught.â
Mo Yong-wooâs face hardened.
He knew well how sharp Yeon Ho-jeongâs intuition was. His intuition was not something to be dismissed as simply a matter of mood.
Extreme insight was linked to extreme intuition. Mo Yong-woo trusted Yeon Ho-jeongâs sixth sense as much as he trusted his eyes.
âLetâs run first. âThere is nothing to lose by going quickly.â
âOkay, letâs do it.â
Doo doo doo doo.
The four men moved south at an alarming speed.
After running downhill for three or four days, we soon arrived at the Yangtze River.
Mo Yong-woo approached a sailor. He was a large man with a rough beard and the appearance of a typical sailor.
âLook here.â
âhmm?â
Jang Han, who saw Mo Yong-woo, said with a sour face.
âwhat?â
Sailorsâ distribution was said to be the best in the world, and it wasnât really wrong. If he was wearing armor and a sword, it was clear that he belonged to the government or was a martial artist, but instead of being anxious, he was even snorting.
Mo Yong-woo said calmly.
âI need to cross the Yangtze River in a hurry. Where can I get the fastest boat?â
The sailorâs eyes sparkled.
âAny ship can depart quickly. âAs long as you give me enough money.â
Mo Yong-wooâs face brightened.
âexactly?â
âI donât know how long youâve been looking around, but Iâm glad you came. âIt is difficult to find a speedboat as fast as ours here on the Yangtze River.â
âI also need to ride four war horses.â
âHmm? Then youâll need a slightly larger ship, not the sleek speedboat type. âYou will also need to prepare plenty of hay.â
âThatâs right.â
âDo you have enough money?â
âHow much do you need?â
âThe more you give, the better. âLike all professions in the world, we work for as much as we give.â
There was no time for useless bargaining. Mo Yong-woo took out the phone bag from his arms.
âIs this enough?â
The sailorâs eyes widened as he received the gift. Inside the bag were as many as five gold wrappers.
âHeh heh! Do you have a lot of money? âHehe, if itâs like this, I can send it to you right now.â
âThank you. âThen I will ask you to do it right away.â
âOkay. Itâs been a while since I had an angry customer. ah! But one more procedure is needed.â
âProcedure? What procedure do you mean?â
âAffiliation. âAre you from the military?â
âno.â
âEh? if?â
Mo Yong-woo glanced behind him.
He said in a low voice.
âWe are part of the Murim Alliance military unit.â
There was nothing good about talking about it here and there. Mo Yong-woo did not want the surroundings to become confused.
But the sailorâs reaction was louder than expected.
ââ¦Murim League military unit?!â
Mo Yong-woo frowned. The sailorâs voice was too loud.
âexactly.â
ââ¦.â
âWhy are you doing that?â
The sailor, who was looking at Mo Yong-woo with narrowed eyes, held out his wallet again.
âTake it.â
ââ¦?!â
âI told you to take it. âWe will not be carrying any members of the Murim Alliance for the time being.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes wavered.
âYouâre saying you donât pick up members of the Murim League? âWhy are you doing that?â
âThatâs none of your business. âIf you really want to take a boat, find somewhere else.â
âNo, you have to tell me the reasonâ¦.â
âOh, thatâs it! âDonât bother me and look elsewhere!â
At that time, Yeonhojeong took a step closer.
The sailor flinched without realizing it. He was momentarily overwhelmed by the huge ax hanging over Yeon Ho-jeongâs shoulder.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked with a smile.
âI heard that there are several organizations formed by sailors.â
âIs that so?â
Being overwhelmed is only a moment. The sailor regained his characteristic sour expression.
âDid the organization tell you not to belong to the Murim League?â
âThatâs none of your business.â
âYou really are amazing.â
ââ¦What do you mean?â
âI heard that most sailors are as good as martial arts masters. âI heard many people say that they are very resourceful and fearless, and that they are better at fighting than most martial people on the waterway.â
âHuh!â
âThese people are wading through rough waters, so their bravery must be outstanding. âSeeing you, I realized once again that each of the sailors were outstanding men.â
The sailor quenched his appetite.
âEven if you flatter me, I canât give you a ride. âPlease stop.â
âIâm not flattering you. âItâs just an honest impression.â
âOkay, nowâ¦â
âBut. âI knew that the sailors were one of the most powerful men in the central region, but I didnât know that they were fraudsters.â
The sailorâs face suddenly became grim.
âA fraudster?!â
âThis guy was in a hurry so he just skipped over, but five gold wonbos is enough to buy a couple of decent speed boats. âAm I wrong?â
âA risk! âWhat do you think about that?â
âNo matter how important money is, would you take that much money and drive the boat as if it were a favor? âFraud is not limited to lying.â
The sailor smiled crookedly.
âSo what? âThis transaction is invalid anyway.â
âDo you mind if what you did spreads throughout the neighborhood?â
âDo whatever you want. âI donât know what that means.â
Although he said so, the sailorâs expression was noticeably distorted. It seemed like they had their own rules, and it didnât seem like there would be any good news about it.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âI wonât spread that rumor. So please do me a favor.â
âher! Are you going to bargain with me now? âStop talking nonsenseâ¦â
âI will only buy one speedboat.â
ââ¦Ugh?â
âItâs okay if you donât drive me around. Instead, please give us five gold wonbos and give us a speedboat to ride on our own.â
The sailorâs eyes wavered.
âAre you really saying that you will cross the Yangtze River by yourself?â
âI told you not to pick us up, right? Then we have no choice but to go on our own.â
âYouâre crazy. If you fall into the river on this cold winter day, no matter how much you are a martial artistâ¦â
âYou just have to choose. Iâll ask again. Would you sell a speedboat for this money? Or will you pass this wonderful opportunity to another sailor?â
ââ¦gulp.â
âI told you not to let me ride, but didnât I tell you not to sell the boat?â
âThatâs right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and shook his purse.
âI donât know where such an order came from, but do we, who belong to the Murim Alliance, say two things with the same mouth? Donât worry, take this great opportunity. âNo, there is no need to. Just tell your superiors what I just said.â
The sailor, who was looking at the ship with sparkling eyes, soon turned and shouted.
âhey! Jangchil!â
âyes?â
âBring me the strange fish.â
âWhat about strange fish? why?â
âThis bastard is going to die. âWhy donât you come out right now?!â
âOh, I understand.â
From the looks of it, it seemed like he was a senior with a lot of experience.
The sailor cleared his throat and took the envelope.
âDonât spread rumors. Do you understand?â
âDonât worry.â
âKahahahahah! But have you ever driven a boat? âWhat are you going to do with all those words?â
âPlease take care of it until I come back.â
âHehehe, if I sell it, it will be quite expensive, right?â
ââ¦.â
âIf youâre going to sell those horses, one more speedboatâ¦â
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes became as cold as ice.
The sailorâs face turned pale in an instant.
âhey.â
ââ¦!!â
âIâve endured enough for this one. Stop rambling and get the boat out quickly.â
After a while.
The group, who entrusted the warhorse to a sailor, drove a speedboat and crossed the Yangtze River.
