Episode 840Seeds of Conflict (6)

Paeyul, who entered the city following Yeon Ho-jeong, suddenly saw an old monk.

His grizzled head and beard were neatly trimmed. Although he was said to be an old monk, his skin was fair and he had few wrinkles, so if you look closely, he looked like he was in his forties.

Paeyul’s face became awkward.

The old master walked slowly next to Paeyul and spoke with a calm face.

“He seems like an unpleasant guy.”

“Long sentence of death sentence.”

“Save your time later.”

“…All right.”

Jang Jang-leung (張寅陵), a senior member of the Nodo Temple fortune telling sect, chuckled.

“Why is my voice creeping in? “Do you even know how to notice?”

“….”

“You’re such an old bastard. “If you had been before you turned 40, you would have been caned!”

Paeyul cleared his throat.

He was famous for being the most outgoing in the singing group. However, he never confronted or acted rudely towards just one person.

He was none other than Jangmun Jang-neung. Not because of his position, but because of his personality, Paeyul could not be messed with.

Amid the cheers of countless people.

Jang-in-leung asked.

“How was it?”

“yes?”

“I asked what the world was like when I looked at it with a narrow perspective that could not contain anything other than the desire to win.”

“It was beautiful.”

“You said it was beautiful?”

“yes. So I have to protect it. “With someone who treats me well.”

Jang In-leung, who had been walking looking straight ahead the entire time, looked back at Pae-yul for the first time.

Paeyul’s expression was still awkward. However, it did not lose its unvarnished sincerity like before.

Jang-in-leung smiled.

“You seem like an adult now.”

He, who was on the back foot, went ahead of the loss rate again.

“Don’t worry about your brothers’ voices. “I tried to leave you alone, but if you saw the world in your eyes, I should at least give you an indulgence that wasn’t there before.”

“thank you.”

“Even as I get older, my life can’t be that difficult as I keep falling behind you. “Hey you damn bastard.”

In no time, Jang-in-leung, who was complaining, had walked in front of me.

Paeyul sighed.

Yeonhojeong was said to be the Murim League Museongjeon (武聖殿). This was because there was something to discuss separately with the Bonggong elders.

However, the talk had to be public and formal. The main content was the general situation of Kangho, the atmosphere of the Mukryongbu, and stories about the future.

I wasn’t in such a hurry, but I wasn’t taking my time either. In particular, one of the people Yeon Ho-jeong brought was Baek Byeong-shingun Makwon, who was named in Seongcheon.

He came with one of the best players in the river, and he himself is a master who has risen to the ranks of legends. Of course, even at the level of the Murim Alliance, they could not be treated carelessly, and it was polite to give them a day or two to rest.

After finishing the half-hour conversation, the group headed to their respective residences.

It is natural, but Yeon Ho-jeong could no longer stay at Pagungak, the residence of the Yeon family. Because he was on official business, he had to stay at Palseonggak (八星閣), where the nobles of the Maeng Dynasty lived.

The same was true for Mukbi, Makwon Gangryang, and Jinyang. Fortunately, Paeyul was still affiliated with Jeomchang, so he returned to his previous residence.

Even in the case of silence, one was not officially disqualified. It is said that he was not dismissed as the head of Uijeong-gun.

However, before being the commander of the Uijeong Army, Mukbi was closer to Yeon Hojeong’s personal adjutant. People were tacitly acknowledging that.

Needless to say, Gangryang and Jinyang all ended up staying at Palseonggak.

“You are resting here.”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Kang Ryang’s face.

“Where are you going?”

Yeon Ho-jeong said, pointing to Mukbi.

“We should stop by Uijeong-gun together. “I would like to explain the situation so far.”

“And would you like to apologize?”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded with an awkward expression.

“Hmm, I also have a close relationship with the people there…”

Kangryang glanced at Jinyang.

Jinyang was looking around frantically, like someone who had lived in the countryside but came to Seoul. The pressure of the name Murimmaeng itself was great, but the excitement seemed even greater.

“Well, I’ll visit you later. “I will take good care of that man, so please go.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“And Senior Makwon…”

Makwon was resting in his room. It was worth coming out once and seeing it, but he seemed quite tired.

Since he was the owner of powerful martial arts, there was no way his body would be tired. The fatigue Makwon felt was mental fatigue.

Kang-ryang sighed.

“It’s difficult for a person to be too famous.”

At that time, the voices that were normally muttering grew louder as if they had been waiting.

“Can you let me in?”

“Oh, what are we doing? “I’m just doing this because I want to see your face!”

“This is my lifelong wish. Please, Baek Byeong-shin, please let me see the old man.”

“Stop being picky and open the door! “I just wanted to say hello!”

Outside the gate of Palseonggak, there was literally a crowd of people. Even though Yeonhojeong was Yeonhojeong, it was because a lot of people who wanted to see Baek Byeongshingun’s finale came here. In particular, there were many members of the Naeongseong combat unit, and they seemed to want to gain even a piece of enlightenment from Makwon, who was said to handle all weapons beyond just a hundred soldiers.

Mukbi sighed.

“Can’t we do something about these people? From Maeng’s perspective, wouldn’t it be rude to just turn a blind eye to this situation since they are VIPs?”

Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.

“It will be hectic even at the top. “I have to go and say something.”

“I saw you a little while ago and Senior Makwon’s face turned blue. “I felt sick to my stomach.”

“I heard you’re weaker than I thought.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who entrusted Kang Ryang with the Gwangryongbu, opened the gate of Palseonggak with Mukbi.

“…!!”

As soon as the door opened, the noise in the area stopped for an instant.

Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I understand the feelings of those who respect senior Makwon, but it may be an inconvenience to guests who have not yet completed their journey.”

Each of the warriors swallowed their saliva.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was plain, but it felt like he was trying to control his emotions as much as possible as he was speaking to everyone.

He is an unrivaled expert who made his name in Seongcheon before Irip and the minor owner of the Mukryongbu. None of them dared to raise their heads.

“Please understand that I am here on official business.”

Restrained emotions and calmness.

However, there is also a politeness within it that makes the other person have no choice but to back down.

The warriors bowed their heads to Yeon Ho-jeong and turned around. An awkward look appeared on the faces of the warriors who quietly went their own way.

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed softly.

“I understand, but.”

They too will not know that their actions are rude. However, the strong desire to see a celebrity single-mindedly pursuing martial arts must have blinded his eyes.

It may be difficult to understand rationally, but humans are inherently animals driven by desire. Of course it was a bit harsh. Even the higher-ups would never have thought that there would be this much crowd of people.

“Let’s go.”

“Let’s do that.”

So the two people left Palseonggak and headed to the Uijeonggun unit building.

‘….’

Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been walking forward for a while, looked around once in a while.

Many people were glancing at him and silently. Most people wanted to say something but couldn’t get close, some people just stared blankly, and there were a few people who seemed somewhat displeased.

‘It’s like that in everyone’s life.’

I received a much bigger welcome than I expected. At first, I tried to ignore the unfavorable looks, but when I saw people cheering for my return, I felt grateful.

However, there are also people who view themselves negatively.

‘It’s okay to look at me negatively.’

I can only hope that their harsh reactions do not affect the family.

In reality, it will be like that. The contribution made by the Yeonwi was too great to bear the stigma of not being able to take care of one’s children. Moreover, the choice Yeon Ho-jeong made was also for the sake of a better world, so although it was surprising to everyone, it was not something worthy of public criticism.

The Mukryongbu had formed an alliance with Meng and was actually an ally fighting against the Three Religions.

However, their anger and displeasure may have been due to their inability to escape the deep-rooted hatred between blacks and whites.

Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly remembered the words of Emperor Ha Eung-yo.

‘They don’t know the difference. I just know that it is easier and more refreshing to interpret differences as mistakes. It is also a way to escape from the crushing loneliness.’

‘In the end, you become a monster who doesn’t even know what’s wrong with you. Like that Yeogwang.’

Among them, not many would have been harmed by the conflict with the Heukdo clan. No, if we look at it objectively, it would only be a very small number.

However, there are people who show blind hatred even though they have not experienced any conflict with the Black Island. It will be similar on the black side as well.

‘Accept differences as mistakes….’

The relationship between white and black is completely different from the three religions.

The three religions were the invaders. He committed all kinds of inhumane evil deeds in order to devour the central region. Of course they were obvious enemies.

However, White Island and Black Island were simply people with different ways of living. Of course, the black way where various criminal activities are rampant is not the right path, but it is literally a distorted black way, and the real black way is different from that.

‘I’ve given up on understanding. ‘I gave up thinking.’

However, we cannot hate or loathe them.

Because everyone is different and it is difficult for others to understand each person’s circumstances.

As I walked with various thoughts in mind, I arrived in front of the Uijeong-gun military base building.

“…?”

The front door was open. There was no gate guard guarding the gate.

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Let’s go in.”

“Of course.”

After crossing the main gate and passing through the middle gate, a familiar training hall appeared.

And the sight of the Uijeonggun soldiers filling it.

“All armies in line.”

The soldiers lined up at a frightening speed, hearing a voice full of deep composure and gentle dignity.

That many people move as if they were one body.

Admiration appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi’s faces. Just by looking at the movements of the soldiers lined up, you could see how highly trained they were.

Jump and jump.

There was a man walking around the side of the training ground.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Long time no see.”

“It’s been a while, former professor.”

“Puh! Is that so?”

“ha ha ha!”

Mo Yong-woo burst into laughter and hugged Yeon Ho-jeong vigorously.

For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong was embarrassed. He didn’t know that Mo Yong-woo would hug him.

“Welcome back. “I’m glad you’re safe.”

“thank you.”

Mo Yong-woo, who had his hand around Yeon Ho-jeong’s shoulder, looked back at Uijeong-gun.

“The two worst traitors in Uijeong County have returned. “Let us welcome you.”

Chiri riri ring!

At the same time, five hundred and fifty soldiers drew their weapons.

The momentum was brutal, but his face was full of mischievous smiles.

“For your information, if these two don’t get even a scratch on their bodies today, there will be no alcohol.”

“Jonmyeong!”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mo Yong-woo with a bewildered expression.

Mo Yong-woo shrugged his shoulders.

“You have to take responsibility for your actions. “Isn’t that right?”

“…Oh really.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and rolled up his sleeves as if he couldn’t stop him. Mukbi quenched his appetite and made a protest.

Two people went up to the training ground.

“It’s a wonderful welcome ceremony.”

“Wow!”

The Uijeong Army charged towards the two people.
