Episode 293Yasudao (野獸道) (3)

“It seems like we’ve been seeing each other a lot lately.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled at Mo Yong’s words.

“There is a saying like this in the world, right? “Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer.”

“haha.”

“If the head of the family would just give up his great ambitions, maybe we could become friends.”

Moyong-gun laughed.

“Is it a sin to be ambitious?”

“Ambition is not a sin, but if so, you must also understand the greed of those who seek to destroy that ambition.”

“Other than that, of course. I told you this before, right? This person understands you. “I’m just trying to block you guys from getting in my way, and I don’t have any personal feelings.”

“It’s not that good… It’s not like it’s not there at all.”

“I am also not human.”

Zhuge Munho burst out laughing.

“Cancer. “Because we are human, we are greedy, and because we are human, we have to keep things in check.”

Moyong-gun chuckled.

“So, why did you come to see this person today?”

Zhuge Wenhu took out a document from his pocket and held it out.

Moyong-gun tilted his head.

“What is this?”

“Recently, the Honam area has been quite noisy.”

“Hmm?”

Moyong looked at the document.

After a while, the corners of his mouth rose.

“Gwiju Sanghoe is expanding its sphere of influence… and is also expanding its business quite aggressively.”

“That’s right.”

“But why are you showing this to me?”

“I did some research on Gwiju Store.”

“Is that so?”

“Then, I was able to find out about the clans that were secretly doing business with Gwiju Chamber of Commerce.”

Moyong shrugged his shoulders.

“Of course, the main family is also doing business with Gwiju Chamber of Commerce.”

“Yes, he said so.”

“But is that such a big deal? For any faction that has the ability, dealing with the top is a must. “Isn’t Zhuge Ce like that?”

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled.

“That’s why. “I would like to ask the matriarch for a favor.”

“ask?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know what kind of request this is, but I hope you understand that this person will not be able to grant the military’s request in any way. “I don’t know why, but I don’t feel very good about doing background checks like this and even putting documents in front of people’s faces.”

“I hope you understand. This is because the movement of Gwiju Sanghoe has grown so suddenly. “We had no choice but to pay attention.”

“I understand. So what’s your favor?”

“Please give me a line at Guizhou Store.”

Prince Moyong was surprised.

“Are you asking me to give you a line at Guizhou Store?”

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Wenhu kept a very calm expression.

Moyong-gun, who was examining his face with narrow eyes, asked abruptly.

“Murimmaeng? Or is it Zhuge?”

“Of course it’s the latter.”

“….”

“If I had said that I would accept the Guizhou Chamber of Commerce at the level of the alliance, I would have held a meeting of the Fonggong Association and put pressure on the Gaju. “I wouldn’t necessarily come to you personally and ask you to give me a line.”

That is correct.

‘What a trick.’

Mo Yong-gun knew that Zhuge Wen-ho would never ask for this because of money or power.

Prince Mo Yong, who was staring at Zhuge Wenhu in silence, frowned for a moment.

“Do you really have to do this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know. “If the Zhuge military begins to make deals with Guizhou Trading Company, they will try to look into the transaction details of the main family in some way, and if they see even the slightest sign of suspicion, they will immediately launch an attack.”

“Was the Gwiju Chamber of Commerce such a faithless group? “It goes without saying that dealings with customers are kept top secret.”

“If you put your mind to it, there’s nothing you can’t break through.”

“Even if it is possible, the problem is deciding to do it. Furthermore, if I had truly intended to rob Gwiju Store, I would not have asked the head of the family to give me the rope.”

It wasn’t wrong. However, Mo Yong-gun had already seen clearly what Zhuge Mun-ho was aiming for when he said these words.

“Aren’t you planning to aim for Donggui Jinja?”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.

‘indeed.’

In the area of scheming, it was Prince Mo Yong who displayed the ability of Seongcheon Thirteen Jwa level. He is confident in his ability to see through one of his targets at a glance, without even considering the possibility.

It was an eye trained to the limit. It was truly unfortunate that such a person was burning with extremely personal ambition and was aiming for the position of Murim lord.

“I think I should have at least that much insurance.”

Prince Moyong sneered.

“It’s not worth talking about. “Please leave now.”

Zhuge Wenhu, who had been looking at him in silence, stood up obediently.

“Just think about it. “It’s a pretty drastic tactic, but I don’t think it’s a very harmful proposal to the head of the family.”

“I guess so. “It will be beneficial only if I give up my position as leader.”

Zhuge Munho burst out laughing.

“It’s a shame. “If you were full of courage and cooperation, we could have become very good friends.”

“Get out.”

“All right. But please know this one thing. “I and the Murim Alliance value the Moyong family more highly than I thought.”

“….”

“Coexistence and harmony will inevitably destroy absolute power. “I hope this person understands the politics of unity.”

With those words, Zhuge Wenhu left.

Moyong, who was left alone, tapped the table with his index finger.

“It’s Donggui Jinja….”

Prince Moyong frowned.

“Are you asking me to come to you out of the blue and line up Gwiju Store? If, by any chance, Zhuge ends up making a deal with Guizhou Trading Company, then he will begin to attack the main family in earnest. And I will counterattack against Zhuge. And if that fact becomes known to the public…”

That’s why it’s called Donggui.

If it becomes known to the Murim Alliance that the two families are fighting and keeping each other in check, the political influence of the two families will completely collapse. Zhuge Munho was trying to stop himself at all costs.

“but.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes glowed dangerously.

“I don’t think that clever human would have thought I wouldn’t notice that.”

In other words, it means that there is something else to aim for other than Donggwijin.

Prince Moyong, who was deep in thought, opened his mouth.

“Is it outside?”

“Yes, matriarch.”

“Please send a message to Mr. Huashan. “Let’s have lunch or something.”

“All right.”

thud.

Moyong lightly hit the table with his fist and smiled.

“I don’t know what they’re aiming for, but it probably means that that side is starting to move now.”

The official tilted his head for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrong.

“What did you say just now?”

“I told you to come forward as a leader candidate.”

“….”

“Why not?”

The official who was quietly glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong frowned openly.

“Are you planning to make me a puppet?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“The expression ‘puppet’ doesn’t sound good. Rather, I hope you understand that I am asking you to become a shield of steel for a better future.”

“Good words. In the end, isn’t what you want to do by putting me in front of you to keep Prince Moyong in check while also keeping his eye on him?”

After all, being the head of the six generations is not something that just anyone can do.

A person who is harsh and cold-hearted, but also has strong pride and is sometimes hot-tempered.

Tang Gwan was that kind of person. However, that kind of personality did not mean that the party official was a bad person.

On the contrary, his keen insight was far superior to that of the heads of most sects. Although he may be a person full of stubbornness and stubbornness, his abilities are as good as anyone else’s.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“That’s right.”

I admit it honestly.

The official gave a cold smile.

“I want to ask. “Did you really think I would accept your offer?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. “I thought you could either accept it or reject it.”

“Why? “Did you just think that I had a conflict with Mr. Moyong?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious.

“I never thought that the leader of a proud party would willingly throw himself into something like this just because of a conflict with others.”

“if?”

“However, I thought that a person in power in Sacheon who wanted to exert proper influence in the political world of Moorim would likely accept it.”

The official’s eyes narrowed.

“The powerful man of Sichuan… That’s a strange expression.”

“The head of the family rolled the abacus in the middle.”

“….”

“No? “Have you not compared both Zhuge’s side and Mo Yong’s side and considered which side you should join to increase the influence of the Tang family?”

The official frowned.

“You know very well.”

“In the end, the head of the family made a choice. And the result was this.”

“so? Are you telling me to forget about the failed choices and join hands with you?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“You know, right? Many people make mistakes in politics. However, once someone leaves the stage, he or she cannot return to the political arena. “Isn’t that why the head of the family also wanted to return to Sacheon?” seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“….”

Yeon Ho-jeong spread his hands.

“Not many people get a second chance. And that opportunity doesn’t come just at any time.”

“….”

“Come up with us. “On the real stage set up by the Murim League.”

“I was born and became a bat?”

“You have to become a person who is uglier, dirtier, and more terrible than a bat.”

“what?”

“I am already on that path. That’s why he can exert such influence at such a young age.”

If the government knew about Yeonhojeong’s past, they would have been truly surprised.

Yeon Ho-jeong died at the hands of Tang Gwan.

To be exact, he died after being hit by a sword by Tang Gwan, who had received orders from Prince Mo Yong in his previous life, but in any case, the person who was directly responsible for his death was Tang Gwan.

In other words, to Yeon Ho-jeong, Tang Gwan was no different from Marshal Cheolcheon. Since we have returned to the past, even if it did not happen in reality, from Yeon Ho-jeong’s perspective, it is an event that cannot be dismissed as something that never happened.

Nevertheless, Yeon Ho-jeong was smiling in front of the hotel. He was saying that we should go further and be together.

We can’t even imagine how much mental strength this change and perseverance requires.

“The head of the family said that before, right? “Poison becomes medicine if you use it well, and medicine becomes poison if you don’t use it well.”

“….”

“Please be our medicine. And please be poison to your enemies.”

“Then, will you prepare a place for me with the West Station priestess?”

“Actually, if the head of the family wanted it, there was no need to go through us. “But when you asked to make a deal, didn’t you hint that you wanted to do it together?”

The official who was glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.

“Follow me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Thank you….”

“You didn’t bring an axe.”

“yes?”

“That creepy ax you always carry around with you.”

“yes. “I left it at the training ground.”

“okay?”

The official shook his head.

“Don’t make the excuse that you lost because you didn’t have an axe.”

“…?”

“I will show you your worth through martial arts. Follow me.”
