Episode 50.The wind blows (5)
The atmosphere in the governorâs office has become cold.
Embarrassment was visible on Taekyungâs face.
âWhat are you talking about?â
Crump!
Yeon Ho-jeong crushed the teacup. Even though he broke the teacup with his bare hands, there was not a single scratch on his hand.
Taekyung swallowed his saliva without realizing it at that threatening behavior.
âIt was a bit surprising at first.â
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his hand.
Patter.
Fragments of the broken teacup fell into the rainwater.
âIn general, when planting a seed in another organization, three rules are followed. First, an inconspicuous place. Second, an inconspicuous position. Third, an inconspicuous personality.â
Taekyungâs eyes wavered.
He was a person who had trained himself so thoroughly that he could manage his facial expressions even when lightning struck in front of his eyes. But I couldnât do that now.
A grand duke who openly calls himself Sejak. The archdukeâs eye glow was as intense as a thunderbolt and as hot as lava.
I canât tell if itâs life or dignity. The moment the teacup broke, Taekyungâs composure was also broken. And Yeon Ho-jeongâs life timely penetrated the cracks of his broken heart.
âFirst-rate Sejak strictly follows the rules. People donât suspect that an inconspicuous person is Sejak. âCountless organizations in Gangho were on the path to destruction because of such evil practices.â
ââ¦!!â
âBut the express is different.â
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at himself with his thumb.
âSejak, which is classified as a special class, shows aspects that are completely opposite to other Sejak. âHe has a striking personality, holds a prominent position, and hangs out in prominent places.â
ââ¦!!â
âA person whom anyone would suspect when something happens, but a person who also has many ways to avoid suspicion. âThey know that once they avoid the arrow of doubt, they will never be caught.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
Taekyung couldnât help but smile.
âBut you are unique. Itâs not first-class, but itâs hard to classify it as first-class. âI donât have an outstanding personality, but I am working in a central position in the organization in a prominent position.â
âGrand Duke! If you are misunderstanding me as Sejakâ¦â
âMisunderstanding? âIâm sure.â
ââ¦!â
âI was confused at first too. No matter how you look at it, this guy is not from a famous family, so where is he? âExcept for the famous family, were there any other people trying to take over the main family?â
Taekyung grabbed his thighs without realizing it.
âA famous family? What is a famous house? Was the famous family also targeting this place?!â
Even in moments of crisis, new information is accumulated. When the escape is successful, you instinctively remember what to convey to your allies.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âDidnât the head of the Moyong family tell you? âYou joined hands with a famous family?â
ââ¦?!â
âYour skills are quite famous. From the looks of it, it seems like three works that were raised with some care. Even if you get caught, itâs easy to cut off the tail and just pretend not to notice and pull it away, right?â
ââ¦!!â
âMo Yong-se⦠Itâs really fun. Aiming for a stab in the back of the head? In the end, the main family was only observing the public sentiment without knowing anything in the battleground of the ghosts.â
Only now Yeon Ho-jeong was able to infer what happened in the past.
Both Moyongsega and Myeongga targeted Yeonga.
It wasnât something I was aiming for. Yeonga was not a family that could be swallowed up by one organization. This was especially true for the Seven Great Emperors who had many enemies.
That is why the Myeong family and the Mo Yong family joined hands. He was thinking of destroying the Yeonga and tearing Jiangsu Province in half.
In the past, the Yeonwi opposed the project proposal until the end.
Thatâs why a famous family came forward. He made the most barbaric yet effective decision to take over by force any family that would not be appeased.
What was surprising was Mo Yong-segaâs choice.
There was a high probability that it was the work of the Moyong family that led to the collapse of the famous family without anyone noticing.
A family that has achieved the honor of being the best family in the world in its short history.
Of course, it would have been difficult to bury it with Moyonggaâs power alone. However, it is certain that Moyonga played a leading role. Otherwise, the Mo Yong family would not have been called the best family in the world.
In the end, everyone was harmed by the Mo Yong family.
âThe whole world is like that. Even if you evaluate the colors of black and white porcupines, they are ultimately the same. âGood guys suffer and bad guys get fed up.â
ââ¦.â
âLooking at things like that, isnât the Moyong family truly amazing? âYou donât seem like a good guy either, so what kind of trust did you give someone like that to risk your life like this?â
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
âwhy? Are you saying that when I take over the world in the future, I will be there to look down on the world from your side?â
Cold sweat broke out on the back of Taekyungâs neck.
âI have no idea what the Archduke is sayingâ¦â
âI knew so.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shouted, glaring at Tae-kyung.
âHuge!â
Sreuk.
For a moment, Taekyung was surprised.
I donât know how long itâs been there. Full Sang stood with his arms crossed right in front of the shadowy bookshelf in the corner of the Governor Generalâs office.
âI didnât want to get involved in someone elseâs family fight.â
The eyes of Full Sang glaring at Tae Kyung were extremely cold.
âWhat you are doing is so despicable. âAll thoughts of receiving a commission disappeared.â
Yeon Ho-jeong held out his hand. Full-sang handed a neatly folded letter into his hand.
Taekyungâs eyes shook greatly.
âHow is that?!â
That letter was sent to the Moyong family through Tongcheondan.
The problem is that it was not sent in the name of Yeonga. Having served as the head of the Yeonga for quite a long time, he also made several Tongcheondan members his own.
âIt was written in secret language. âIt was quite complicated, but not difficult to interpret.â
Taekyung felt his eyesight becoming dark.
Other people may not know, but if it is open, deciphering secret words is easy. The larger the organization that handles information, the higher the level of decipherers.
Openness is the pinnacle of the white island intelligence community. It was a large group with countless top-notch secret language decipherers.
Yeon Ho-jeong waved the letter.
âNow stop acting like nonsense. âArenât your facial muscles almost paralyzed because youâve been hiding your true feelings for so long?â
That is correct.
There is no point in arresting the secret letter since it has been discovered. No, even if it wasnât a letter, I already couldnât manage my facial expression properly in front of Yeonhojeong.
âdamn.â
Taekyung sighed.
âHow did you know?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled. I was sure it was Sejak, but I didnât expect him to admit it so easily.
âHow do you know?â
âIâm curious about your motive for doubting me.â
Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.
âDo you really need to think about that? âIâm not stupid and I know it when I see it.â
It was a statement that made fools of most people living in Gangho.
Taekyung smiled bitterly.
âI have no intention of telling you.â
Even if I want to say it, I canât. Even if they say it, they donât have a trustworthy past.
âItâs bland than I thought, isnât it? âI knew you would pull it off until the end.â
âIf I hold you back until the end, will you trust me?â
âOf course not.â
âI admitted it because I knew it too.â
It was a strange thing to say. At least thatâs what Yeon Ho-jeong heard.
âI saw you wrong. âI thought he was just a simpleton warrior who was anxious to become the head of the family.â
âThe acting worked well.â
âIt was a great performance. âMy goal is to become a military master, but I havenât been able to see through even a single thought of a young man, so I guess I still have a long way to go.â
Yeon Ho-jeong felt a hint of pride in his voice.
âAs expected.â
Taekyungâs eyes deepened.
âYou couldnât have acted alone, so Yeongaju must know.â
Even though it has been several years since we served him, we still call him Yeongaju without hesitation.
At least its shamelessness can be said to be top-notch. No matter how much I tried, it wasnât easy to do this.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âYour father doesnât know.â
âDo you really need to lie in this situation?â
âThatâs right.â
Taekyung frowned.
âThe head of the house doesnât know?â
He looked closely at Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
ââ¦is it true?â
âIf I caught a fish, I should peel off the scales first. Should I kill time by telling jokes?â
âWhy didnât you tell me?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.
Tae-kyung, seeing that smile, suddenly realized.
âYou⦠your ambition to become the head of the family was real!â
âI donât think acting without sincerity will work in front of a guy who has been belittling me for nearly ten years.â
Taekyung sighed softly.
âIt was my pride that brought the situation to this point. âEven though I saw the essence, I was fooled by the fake expression.â
No matter what help he received, Yeon Ho-jeong is the main player in this matter.
In other words, he caught Sejak and proved his abilities. Thatâs probably why I didnât tell anyone.
Taekyung, who was sighing, was happy at the same time.
âYou idiot!â
The head of the house doesnât know?
Even if you know, you can somehow get out of it, but if you donât know, it will be easier. Tae-kyung couldnât help but laugh inwardly at Yeon-ho-jeongâs greed.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
âThank you for being a stepping stone for my future.â
Taekyung glared at Yeonhojeong with venomous eyes.
âYou better be careful. âBecause greedy people always make mistakes in unexpected places.â
âThose who lack greed say that.â
âThey say itâs called Gyeongja under the auspicious mark, and thatâs really true.â
âI donât think thatâs something to listen to from a bastard like you.â
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to the door with his chin.
âDo you want to go out on your own feet or get dragged?â
After a while, Tae-kyung headed to the prison surrounded by warriors.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching his back, said.
âMr. Hugae.â
âWhat are you saying?â
âTell this to your father. âWeâll take care of the rest, so please take care of the situation.â
* * *
Wow!
The cell door opened.
puck!
Taekyung collapsed and entered the cell. It was a narrow room that could be filled with one person lying down.
The eyes of each corporate head were very fierce.
âI didnât know you would.â
Tae-kyung turned his back just as he entered. The sight of him just staring at the wall seemed detached at first glance.
âHow dare you fool us with that shameless face?â
ââ¦.â
âI donât have much to say!â
ââ¦.â
Taekyung remained silent.
The head of the corporation, who was fussing, said a cold word.
âYou wonât die a nice death.â
Each corporate owner closed his cell. S~eaÊá´h the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Quang!
The sound was so strong that the steel door shook.
So Tae-kyung was locked alone in a solitary cell with only weak moonlight coming in.
ââ¦.â
How much time has passed?
Taekyung, who was sitting with his eyes closed, opened his mouth.
âHearer.â
Then, to my surprise, I heard a voice outside the small window.
âA painter.â
ââ¦.â
âHyeoncheon (ç天) Hocheon (æå¤©).â
âHocheon.â
Cheer ring.
A small, black key came in through a small window.
It was so dark that I had no idea where I had landed. Taekyung groped the floor and finally found the key.
âdone.â
From now on it was easy. He fumbled with the key on the wall opposite the door.
âLower left point, upper three, right two.â
No matter how well-made the prison was, there were always gaps between stones.
But what Tae-kyung was looking for was not just a gap. I had to find a metal hole where this small key would fit.
Each. Ga-ga-gak.
It was dark so it didnât fit well.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. I practiced it several times when no one was watching, but when it came to real situations, it wasnât as easy as before.
âWhoa.â
I calmed down as much as I could and stung again.
After a while.
Phew.
To my surprise, the middle of the floor suddenly collapsed.
Even though the ground went out, there was no sound. Tae-kyung went in there, screaming with joy.
Slurp.
After Taekyung entered, the floor returned to its original state.
Just like that, the cell became empty.
