Episode 318The Wheel Rolls (6) Yeon Ho
-jeong, who came into Pagungak after having a light drink with the party official, felt a secret sense of death for a moment.
Shhh! Pow!
I instinctively turned my head to avoid it, and before I knew it, a wooden sword was stuck in the ground.
The blow was so sharp and powerful that even the arrowâs flagpole was embedded in the ground. Considering that the day was so cold that the ground was frozen, it was a terrifying force.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the third floor window as if it was absurd.
There, a silent monument with a sour expression was lowering the Hongryeon Palace.
âAre you crazy? âYou suddenly shoot an arrow!â
âjoy. âDid you do something fun without me knowing?â
âWhat fun is. My head hurts⦠Hey! Thatâs not the problem! Are you aiming for the forehead just now? do you want to die?â
âYou avoided it well.â
âAre you kidding me? I was drinking! âI narrowly avoided it, damn it.â
âMurim people must always be on guard because a fight can break out at any time. âYou told me that, right?â
âLetâs take a rest at my house. uh?!â
âTsk.â
Paralock.
Mukbi jumped from the window and immediately landed in front of Yeonhojeong.
she said bluntly.
âI have finished training for the Mortal Army.â
âOh, you had a hard time.â
âAre you going to keep going out like this? âIf this goes on, youâll forget the faces of the soldiers, right?â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âNow Iâve done everything I can. âI think we can deal with the rest based on the situation.â
âThat lie is true, right?â
âItâs not a lie.â
âYouâre funny.â
âWhy on earth are people so twisted? âYou werenât this kind of person before, right?â
âIt was everyone who made me like this. No, and whatâs wrong with me?â
Yeon Ho-jeong was fed up.
âI get it. Iâm sorry. âWhat can I do for you?â
Only then did Mukbi giggle and laugh.
âThere is nothing I can do for you, but there is someone who wants to meet a practitioner.â
âhmm?â
âRep. Ki.â
Ki Woo-heeâs residence was located to the south of the center of the castle.
At a time when it was past wedding hour, Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi visited Ki Woo-heeâs residence.
âAre you here?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
Ki Woo-hee, who must have known he would come at this time, had prepared two steaming cups of tea and was sitting there wearing old-fashioned clothing.
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
Perhaps she had put her mind in order, but her smiling face was very nice to see. In fact, he had such an exotic and beautiful appearance that the cold seemed to go away just with his smile.
âSit.â
âSure.â
Two people sat across from Ki Woo-hee.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked directly.
âYou asked to see me?â
âyes. Butâ¦â
Ki Woo-hee asked as if he were puzzled.
âHave you been drinking?â
âhmm?â
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
âIs it noticeable? âI blew away all my energy with my inner energy.â
Ki Woo-hee smiled and pointed to his nose.
âIt smells like alcohol.â
âThere is no such thing as a dog nose.â
âIn order to see a patient properly, you also need to train your five senses well.â
âIs this your first time hearing that?â
âThere are also diagnostic methods for that. âI was just trying to get a closer look at the patientâs details.â
Regardless of her ideology or origin, she was a first-class member of the National Assembly. And to reach that level, he must have made efforts that are difficult to describe in words.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âYeah, thatâs it. âYou asked to see me?â
âyes.â
âwhat brings you here?â
Ki Woo-hee quenched his thirst with tea.
It seemed like a difficult thing to say. Nevertheless, there was no sign of confusion on his face.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âYou made up your mind correctly.â
Everything, including the eyes and facial expressions, is perfectly refined.
This is the appearance of a person who has clearly decided on the path to follow. In a way, Yeon Ho-jeong was confident that todayâs conversation would be quite meaningful as he looked more confident than Mukbi or Kangryang.
After a while, Ki Woo-hee opened his mouth.
âCommander Yeon.â
âsay.â
âCommander Yeon said this a while ago, right? âThe three religions will burn the central plains and condemn countless innocent people to hell.â
âokay.â
âI also agree. No, I admit it. âI already knew that, but I was trying to ignore it.â
Itâs not that they seem to have been ignored, but itâs said that theyâve been ignored. It is said with confidence.
Ki Woo-heeâs eyes lit up.
âI told the soldier. âI am not working for the Murim Alliance, but I am here for the nameless people who will shed blood due to the invasion of the Three Religions.â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
âIt sounds like they will run out at any time if the Murim League goes astray.â
âyes. I will leave this place at any time. And I will denounce the Murim Alliance. âOf course, if the Murim Alliance goes astray.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âItâs a good mindset. That is righteousness and cooperation. Of course, I am still far from being chivalrous.â
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
âYouâre saying the same thing as the soldier.â
âIs he like that too?â
âyes. He said that if the Murim Alliance goes astray, I can leave at any time. I felt absolute confidence in that statement. âI guess the soldier is confident that the Murim Alliance will not go astray.â
âIâm not sure.â
âyes?â
âNo one knows what the future holds. âIsnât that why weâre making this mess?â
âThen how should we interpret the confidence you showed?â
Yeon Ho-jeong pretended to slit his own throat.
âIf the Murim League really gets to that point, it means that it will be the first one to die.â
ââ¦!â
âAlthough you may seem like a smart-ass person to others, your spirit of chivalry is second to none even in your own ranks. And where that chivalry goes, there is the Murim Alliance. âIf the Murim Alliance goes astray, you will no longer belong to this world.â
Ki Woo-hee smiled bitterly.
âYour faith in the soldier is truly amazing.â
âAt least for now. As I said, no one knows what the future holds. âNo one knows how things will change, neither you nor me.â
âI guess so.â
Ki Woo-hee took a deep breath.
âYou took Jamyoung Ilho with you before, right?â
âAnd killed him.â
âYes. I know.â
Ki Woo-hee paused for a moment and looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
âJamyoung Ilho is not the only one who came to the Murim Alliance.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
âYeah, I heard it before.â
âThere is a contact person outside the Murim League. âI donât know exactly how many people there are.â
âWhy donât you tell me that far?â
âyes. âIn Jamyoung Ilhoâs opinion, I wasnât a very trustworthy person.â
That may not necessarily be the only reason.
Regardless of Jamyoung Ilhoâs thoughts, her existence in the Shinhwa Church was no different from Gyereuk.
Even if he is an illegitimate child, he is ultimately the bloodline of the religious leader, so he cannot be cold-heartedly dismissed, and accepting it as such could cause serious changes in the succession structure.
Moreover, she herself is active as a member of the National Assembly. From the Shinhwa religionâs perspective, this is bound to be a headache in many ways.
âLooking at the situation, it seems like no one knows about our school except a few people.â
âI am holding back my words. âBecause there is such a thing as chance.â
âIs it possible that someone in the Feng Dynasty is in conflict with the three religions?â
âokay.â
âThereâs no chance that itâs you, soldier?â
âAt least thatâs how I saw it. And if you were in league with the three religions, there is no point in talking about it in the first place.â
âHe is like that too.â
âSo what do you want to say?â
Ki Woo-hee filed a complaint. SÑará´h the nôᴠel Fire.nÑt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI have to catch it. âStarting with contact information.â
Slurp.
In an instant, Yeonhojeongâs prayer changed.
The face is smiling, but the temperament is cold. Just the thought of catching them made me feel nervous.
Mukbi grabbed Yeonhojeongâs shoulder.
âYeon Gongja.â
ââ¦Whew.â
Yeonhojeong exhaled lightly and controlled her mind. But his eyes were burning more and more red.
Ki Woo-hee continued.
âThatâs why I wanted to meet Commander Yeon. âActually, I donât know much about the Shinhwa religion, and Iâm also ignorant about this secret religion.â
âRight.â
âI know that it doesnât end with just finding a contact. As Commander Yeon said, if you want more than that, I think it would be problematic to hastily grab all the contacts.â
âHe is like that too.â
âWhat I want to say isâ¦.â
âSpread false information.â
âthatâs right.â
Ki Woo-hee tried to smile.
âIf things proceed that way, the Shinhwa Church will also find out later. âI betrayed you.â
âI guess so.â
âCan you protect my life?â
Yeon Ho-jeong knocked on the teacup.
âAnyway, we canât lure out the Shinhwa bastards without you. âThe moment you decided to join us, we became one organization.â
âokay.â
âdo not worry. âAt least I wonât be alive before your life is lost.â
It meant promising absolute escort.
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
âThereâs no need to make such a harsh promise, but itâs okay. âI will also protect Commander Yeon.â
Yeon Ho-jeong as well as Muk-bi tilted their heads.
âProtect me? Who?â
âYou will have to fight a lot in the future, but you donât want to die from your wounds.â
âHoo? âDo you want to be my primary doctor?â
âMy credo is to treat all patients equally, but it is natural to at least lend a helping hand to the person who is holding on to my life.â
Mukbi managed to control his appetite. Somehow, it seemed like all the people who were friends with or did business with Yeon Ho-jeong were becoming abnormal.
âSo, Iâm planning to move my residence first.â
âYouâre moving residence?â
âYou have to protect me, right? We need to move it to Pagungak. âIs there a spare room there?â
Mukbi opened his mouth wide.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âI donât just care about the three schools. The power struggle within the group is in full swing. âIf you come to our place now, there will be a lot of talk in many ways.â
âThatâs none of my business.â
ââ¦.â
âBesides, I was appointed as the patron of the party head anyway. In other words, I was targeted not only by the three religious schools, but also by the practitionerâs political enemies.â
âWell, thatâs right.â
âUiseongak will officially open in four days. âBefore that, I want to move to a new place and take care of my heart first.â
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
The bloodlines of Yeonga, as well as Mukbi Kangryang and Ki Woohee. For some reason, I had the illusion that Pagungak was gradually becoming a fortress.
âOkay, letâs do that. âI will tell my father separately.â
Ki Woo-hee smiled brightly.
âthank you.â
âThere is nothing to be thankful for.â
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
âBy the way, if you are planning to leak false information to your contact, that contact will also approach Pagungak.â
âI can be sure of this one thing. âThe contact will never know where Pagungak is or who lives there.â
âOkay, thatâs enough.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled fire.
âI heard all sorts of things happened with the election and all. Since you said that Brother Moyong will take care of it, I will try to run as well.â
* * *
Three days later.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be a servant secretly entered Pagungak.
âYeon Gongja.â
âI felt it too.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face, leaning against the wall next to the window with her arms crossed, was distorted like a demon.
ââ¦Itâs hard to bear. It makes me want to grab him right now and twist his neck.â
