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 arrow’s 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.
“Are you crazy? “You suddenly shoot an arrow!”
“joy. “Did you do something fun without me knowing?”
“What fun is. My head hurts… Hey! That’s not the problem! Are you aiming for the forehead just now? do you want to die?”
“You avoided it well.”
“Are you kidding me? I was drinking! “I narrowly avoided it, damn it.”
“Murim people must always be on guard because a fight can break out at any time. “You told me that, right?”
“Let’s take a rest at my house. uh?!”
“Tsk.”
Paralock.
Mukbi jumped from the window and immediately landed in front of Yeonhojeong.
she said bluntly.
“I have finished training for the Mortal Army.”
“Oh, you had a hard time.”
“Are you going to keep going out like this? “If this goes on, you’ll forget the faces of the soldiers, right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Now I’ve done everything I can. “I think we can deal with the rest based on the situation.”
“That lie is true, right?”
“It’s not a lie.”
“You’re funny.”
“Why on earth are people so twisted? “You weren’t this kind of person before, right?”
“It was everyone who made me like this. No, and what’s wrong with me?”
Yeon Ho-jeong was fed up.
“I get it. I’m sorry. “What can I do for you?”
Only then did Mukbi giggle and laugh.
“There is nothing I can do for you, but there is someone who wants to meet a practitioner.”
“hmm?”
“Rep. Ki.”
Ki Woo-hee’s 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-hee’s residence.
“Are you here?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s 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.
“Sit.”
“Sure.”
Two people sat across from Ki Woo-hee.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked directly.
“You asked to see me?”
“yes. But…”
Ki Woo-hee asked as if he were puzzled.
“Have you been drinking?”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“Is it noticeable? “I blew away all my energy with my inner energy.”
Ki Woo-hee smiled and pointed to his nose.
“It smells like alcohol.”
“There is no such thing as a dog nose.”
“In order to see a patient properly, you also need to train your five senses well.”
“Is this your first time hearing that?”
“There are also diagnostic methods for that. “I was just trying to get a closer look at the patient’s details.”
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.
“Yeah, that’s it. “You asked to see me?”
“yes.”
“what brings you here?”
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-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘You made up your mind correctly.’
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 today’s conversation would be quite meaningful as he looked more confident than Mukbi or Kangryang.
After a while, Ki Woo-hee opened his mouth.
“Commander Yeon.”
“say.”
“Commander Yeon said this a while ago, right? “The three religions will burn the central plains and condemn countless innocent people to hell.”
“okay.”
“I also agree. No, I admit it. “I already knew that, but I was trying to ignore it.”
It’s not that they seem to have been ignored, but it’s said that they’ve been ignored. It is said with confidence.
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes lit up.
“I told the soldier. “I 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.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
“It sounds like they will run out at any time if the Murim League goes astray.”
“yes. I will leave this place at any time. And I will denounce the Murim Alliance. “Of course, if the Murim Alliance goes astray.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“It’s a good mindset. That is righteousness and cooperation. Of course, I am still far from being chivalrous.”
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
“You’re saying the same thing as the soldier.”
“Is he like that too?”
“yes. He said that if the Murim Alliance goes astray, I can leave at any time. I felt absolute confidence in that statement. “I guess the soldier is confident that the Murim Alliance will not go astray.”
“I’m not sure.”
“yes?”
“No one knows what the future holds. “Isn’t that why we’re making this mess?”
“Then how should we interpret the confidence you showed?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pretended to slit his own throat.
“If the Murim League really gets to that point, it means that it will be the first one to die.”
“…!”
“Although 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. “If the Murim Alliance goes astray, you will no longer belong to this world.”
Ki Woo-hee smiled bitterly.
“Your faith in the soldier is truly amazing.”
“At least for now. As I said, no one knows what the future holds. “No one knows how things will change, neither you nor me.”
“I guess so.”
Ki Woo-hee took a deep breath.
“You took Jamyoung Ilho with you before, right?”
“And killed him.”
“Yes. I know.”
Ki Woo-hee paused for a moment and looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Jamyoung Ilho is not the only one who came to the Murim Alliance.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Yeah, I heard it before.”
“There is a contact person outside the Murim League. “I don’t know exactly how many people there are.”
“Why don’t you tell me that far?”
“yes. “In Jamyoung Ilho’s opinion, I wasn’t a very trustworthy person.”
That may not necessarily be the only reason.
Regardless of Jamyoung Ilho’s 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 religion’s perspective, this is bound to be a headache in many ways.
“Looking at the situation, it seems like no one knows about our school except a few people.”
“I am holding back my words. “Because there is such a thing as chance.”
“Is it possible that someone in the Feng Dynasty is in conflict with the three religions?”
“okay.”
“There’s no chance that it’s you, soldier?”
“At least that’s 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.”
“He is like that too.”
“So what do you want to say?”
Ki Woo-hee filed a complaint. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“I have to catch it. “Starting with contact information.”
Slurp.
In an instant, Yeonhojeong’s prayer changed.
The face is smiling, but the temperament is cold. Just the thought of catching them made me feel nervous.
Mukbi grabbed Yeonhojeong’s shoulder.
“Yeon Gongja.”
“…Whew.”
Yeonhojeong exhaled lightly and controlled her mind. But his eyes were burning more and more red.
Ki Woo-hee continued.
“That’s why I wanted to meet Commander Yeon. “Actually, I don’t know much about the Shinhwa religion, and I’m also ignorant about this secret religion.”
“Right.”
“I know that it doesn’t 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.”
“He is like that too.”
“What I want to say is….”
“Spread false information.”
“that’s right.”
Ki Woo-hee tried to smile.
“If things proceed that way, the Shinhwa Church will also find out later. “I betrayed you.”
“I guess so.”
“Can you protect my life?”
Yeon Ho-jeong knocked on the teacup.
“Anyway, we can’t lure out the Shinhwa bastards without you. “The moment you decided to join us, we became one organization.”
“okay.”
“do not worry. “At least I won’t be alive before your life is lost.”
It meant promising absolute escort.
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
“There’s no need to make such a harsh promise, but it’s okay. “I will also protect Commander Yeon.”
Yeon Ho-jeong as well as Muk-bi tilted their heads.
“Protect me? Who?”
“You will have to fight a lot in the future, but you don’t want to die from your wounds.”
“Hoo? “Do you want to be my primary doctor?”
“My 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.”
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.
“So, I’m planning to move my residence first.”
“You’re moving residence?”
“You have to protect me, right? We need to move it to Pagungak. “Is there a spare room there?”
Mukbi opened his mouth wide.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“I don’t just care about the three schools. The power struggle within the group is in full swing. “If you come to our place now, there will be a lot of talk in many ways.”
“That’s none of my business.”
“….”
“Besides, 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 practitioner’s political enemies.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Uiseongak will officially open in four days. “Before that, I want to move to a new place and take care of my heart first.”
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.
“Okay, let’s do that. “I will tell my father separately.”
Ki Woo-hee smiled brightly.
“thank you.”
“There is nothing to be thankful for.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
“By the way, if you are planning to leak false information to your contact, that contact will also approach Pagungak.”
“I can be sure of this one thing. “The contact will never know where Pagungak is or who lives there.”
“Okay, that’s enough.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled fire.
“I 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.”
* * *
Three days later.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be a servant secretly entered Pagungak.
“Yeon Gongja.”
“I felt it too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, leaning against the wall next to the window with her arms crossed, was distorted like a demon.
“…It’s hard to bear. It makes me want to grab him right now and twist his neck.”
