Episode 421Between Peace and Trouble (7)
Eumsin Yayuljeokâs unimaginable assassination plan was able to be completed with minimal damage due to the efforts of the Uijeong Army, openness, and the unexpected appearance of reinforcements.
Of course, many officials lost their lives. The number of dead officials was as many as twenty-nine, all of whom played a fairly important role in the administration and security of Guangdong Province.
However, twelve key personnel who could be considered the real backbone were safe. This is because the assassination attempt was prevented at least just before the moment thanks to the quick actions of Yeonhojeong and the people in hiding in Bulsan.
In this way, the operation to minimize chaos in Guangdong was half successful. Although the damage was great, if the provincial commanders, led by Jongmyeong of the Left Pojeongsa, work together to move together, the atmosphere in Guangdong will be able to return to its original state within the near future.
However, the damage was not limited to Guangdong Province.
The damage to the Tangma Army of Uijeong County was significant. The Tangma army, which occupied the wilderness and engaged in combat with the enemy, suffered nearly half of its casualties.
It was tremendous damage. Since the enemy was the enemy, it was a expedition that took some damage from the beginning, but it was a painful experience not only for Mo Yong-woo but also for Yeon Ho-jeong.
Of course, considering the number and skills of the Cancer Altar, just completing it with that much sacrifice could be considered a great achievement. Moreover, the Amjedan were experts in the wild terrain. They should have been praised for preventing them from causing such damage.
Yes. It was a wonderful achievement. If you look at the numbers alone, it was clearly that way. However, the minds of those involved in the military were bound to be different.
A mission in which I suffered great damage and suffered many wounds in many ways.
But the situation did not end there.

âAre you okay?â
âItâs okay.â
Full-sang, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-wooâs face, sighed softly.
âIâm sorry. âThe delay in our intelligence teamâs response also contributed to the increased damage to Tangmaâs army.â
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
âDonât say that. Youâve done enough to regret it. Not just Hugae, but everyone. Who can be blamed in this operation? âEveryone worked hard and everyone risked their lives.â
âWhoa.â
I would have tried to create a lively atmosphere, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldnât do that right now.
Full-sang cautiously opened his mouth again.
âHow is Tangmaâs mood?â
Mo Yong-woo spoke honestly.
âItâs hard to say itâs a good thing.â
ââ¦It has to be that way.â
âI believe that our Tangma Army is a sufficiently disciplined organization. But I canât help but have little experience. That experience also includes the experience of losing a comrade.â
ââ¦.â
âI always thought about it. That my men, including myself, would one day lose our lives to the enemyâs blade. So there was a time when I tried not to give her affection.â
Mo Yong-woo looked at the sky.
The sky was particularly dark today.
âBut how can human life be like that? âYou never know when you might lose these people, so you should cherish them more, get closer to them, and create good memories for them.â
âThat is correct.â
âBefore we set off, we all gave each other our will. It will continue to be like that. âThat will be the work of the warriors belonging to the Murim Allianceâs surviving military units and the fate of all Murim people belonging to the fighting organization.â
In times of chaos, everyone risks their lives every day.
However, those who belong to the organization throw their lives away for orders, not for themselves. Regardless of whether it is for a greater cause or something else, in the end, very few people live for themselves.
That makes me sadder and more heartbreaking.
âI heard that the damage from opening up is also great.â
âAs Commander Moyong said, it is fate.â
In that respect, Gaeun-sang is probably a distant senior to Mo Yong-woo.
Openness is a series of missions every day. There are many cases where people die unexpectedly, and it is difficult to find time to train.
Full Sang has suffered so many deaths and is where he is now.
âAnyway, how are you looking?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Full-sang quenched his appetite.
âIt was a mission I received immediately after the Uijeonggun was established. âThe Tang Demon Army has not yet properly become one, so there is almost no damage to the Tang Demon Army, but the Tang Demon Armyâ¦â
Mo Yong-wu chuckled.
âThere is no way to know everyoneâs feelings, so it will be difficult for me to give a definite answer. But one thing is certain.â
ââ¦?â
âI believe that in the Tangma army under my command, there is no fool who would pass on the feelings of his own harm to others.â
Full-sang shook his head.
âIn reality it may be different. âI know it with my head, but where is the human heart?â
âIf you are a soldier who is not even at that level, you are not qualified to be a member of a military unit. In fact, if there is a member of the unit with such thoughts, I will seriously ask for his discharge.â
âThen Iâm glad.â
Although he said so, Mo Yong-woo also could not be sure that there would be no one among the soldiers under his command who would resent Yeon Ho-jeong.
As Moon Moon-sang said, the human mind is like that. It may be hard to believe, but if you become a victim, you will not be able to think rationally.
âI have to overcome it.â
No matter how great Yeon Ho-jeongâs abilities are, he cannot see through his opponentâs intentions.
The eye for viewing the game is at the peak of the midfield, but when it comes to actual battle, it is never easy to respond to the variables that arise from moment to moment. This would be the same even if someone was more talented than Yeon Ho-jeong.
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
âAnyway, is this the end of the situation in Guangdong?â
âHalf.â
âhalf?â
âThe mission given by Master Yeon does not end with simply eliminating the evil spirit and Yayuljeok. âThe order from above includes stabilizing the entire Guangdong Province.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âI havenât heard anything like that from you.â
âThere was no need to do it. âItâs okay to know, but itâs also something you donât need to know.â
âWell, he is like that too.â
âMy guess is that Tangma Army will be allowed to reorganize for the time being. âYeon Dae-su and the Immortal Army will somehow take care of the rest.â
A doubt appeared on Mo Yong-wooâs face.
âBut where is Dae-su now? âI havenât seen you since yesterday.â
âOh, thatâs it.â
Full-sang scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
âIâm sorry because something unexpected happened.â
* * *
âYeonggongja.â
âHow are you?â
thud!
Yeon Ho-jeong put down the Gwangryongbu and wiped his sweat-filled forehead.
âAre you training?â
âThereâs something that bothers me a little. âI thought I couldnât do it unless it was now.â
Mukbiâs eyes deepened.
She was one of the people who knew Yeon Ho-jeong best. So we could see that he felt fully responsible for the deaths of his subordinates.
But what about training? Isnât now the time for that?
Mukbi spoke honestly.
âOne mission is over, but the next one remains.â
âknow.â
Mukbi, who had been silently watching Yeonhojeong, opened his mouth again.
âYou havenât even stopped by Tangma County yet, right?â
âhowever?â
ââ¦.â
âChief Moyong must be comforting him well.â
âShouldnât we still go? âSo many people died.â
âNow is not the time.â
ââ¦.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs expression was quite calm. It was an expression unbecoming of a superior who had lost a subordinate.
Mukbi, who was quietly examining his face, nodded.
âgreat. Then, please decide the next mission.â
âI will deliver it when the time comes, but until then, I am gathering myself. âYour internal and external injuries havenât completely healed.â
âThatâs not important right now.â
âThatâs the most important thing.â
âI beg your pardon?â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked straight at Muk-bi and said.
âThe mission is not over yet. Maybe the next step may be more dangerous. Even if it is not a mission, you never know when and where the enemy will appear.â
ââ¦.â
âAs a member of an organization, it is basic to maintain the best physical condition. If you want to do your part in any situation, think about properly preserving your own fighting ability. âThat comes first.â
âYeon Gongja.â
âDeath comes anytime and anywhere. The entire army of death and death could evaporate tomorrow. âMoorim is like that and the world is like that.â
Yeon Ho-jeong picked up the Gwangryongbu and placed it on his shoulder.
âGo and get yourself ready. âI will issue orders later tonight.â
After saying those words, Yeon Ho-jeong walked away.
Mukbi muttered softly as he watched Yeonhojeongâs back moving away.
âStudent. âI think I know you well, but sometimes I donât know anything.â seaÊá´h thÑ NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The place Yeon Ho-jeong headed after leaving the reserve was a deserted hill.
Phew.
Yeonhojeong, who was walking along an undetermined path while looking around, suddenly felt a surge of majestic energy.
It was an energy calling to him. Yeon Ho-jeong immediately went there.
After a while.
âAre you here?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
There was Beom-oh standing politely and an old man sitting leisurely next to him.
The old manâs impression was truly strange.
Age is difficult to estimate. At first glance, he seemed to be well over eighty, but looking at his white teeth and funny expression, he seemed to be forty years younger than that.
His hair stuck out like a lionâs claws, and his clothes were so dirty that you couldnât tell what their original color was. At first glance, it seemed like it was a monkâs uniform, but even that wasnât certain.
The old man said with a mischievous face.
âHuh, Iâve never thought about being respected by others in my life, but you still donât know how to say hello to an older senior?â
âWho is your senior?â
âHmm?â
âI donât know your identity. âI have no intention of bartering into the mission, threatening people without permission, and treating a strange man like a senior.â
Beom-oh shouted.
âKite algebra! Be careful what you say! This personâ¦!â
âIt is done.â
The old man raised his hand to block Beom-o.
âHehe, there were misunderstandings in many ways. Does that mean itâs a threat? âThat went too far.â
âYou donât think that was a threat?â
âItâs not?â
What is this childish response?
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âI told you that if I donât come to you at this time today, the government of Guangdong Province will be devastated. âIf thatâs not a threat, what is?â
âHehehe.â
âYou donât need to know, but Iâll tell you out loud. Iâm holding on a lot right now. âIf Monk Beom-o had not treated you with respect, he would have picked up an ax and tried to split your head off.â
Beom-oh spoke in a suppressed voice.
âYeon algebra. This person, not only Daesu, but no one in the Murim Alliance can mess withâ¦â
âMore than 200 of his subordinates died in this operation.â
ââ¦!â
âI couldnât even tell my dead subordinates that I was sorry and that they should blame me. Do you know why? Itâs because I felt something was unusual. âBecause of your presence and because I have an ominous feeling that the remaining mission will be more difficult.â
The old man could no longer laugh. He just watched Yeon Ho-jeong with pensive eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes became increasingly cold.
âI will refrain from playing with words. Donât expect to be treated like a senior either. Please explain why you called me and why you made that statement and went on a rampage. âIf you try to kill time without a proper explanation, I will not leave you alone and even Monk Beom-o.â
