Chapter 407 – Chapter 82 (2)
Crackle!
Jegal-jin was sitting on a chair in the tent with an uncomfortable expression, tapping his fingers on the table.
He heard amazing information from Baek Cheong-ha, confirmed the plan related to it, and joined in the idea that it was worth believing.
If anything, he said he didn’t know, and there were enough holes to get out of.
Returning like that, he belatedly noticed that Dokgo Yakran had disappeared somewhere.
‘Are you taking a walk somewhere?’
He thought so at first and went to sleep to prepare for the next day.
However, when he wakes up and finds out about Dokgo Yakran, he feels uncomfortable to plant as he finds that he still hasn’t returned.
‘It’s not like we’re officially engaged because the situation is urgent, but to disappear without talking to me for so long…’
In modern times, the thought that could be one of the reasons for divorce because ‘my husband is too restrained’.
But in this day and age, it is generally unacceptable for her wife to be away for a long time without saying anything to her husband.
As a husband, it is a disregard for authority as a man.
“Huh-heung-heung-“
At that time, Dokgo Yakran returned to his tent with a happy face humming his song.
“…”
Jegal Jin frowned and glared at her at Dokgo Yakran, but she ignored him and headed for her bed.
“Hey, Yakran.”
“I’m a bit tired, so could you leave? I want to rest before the start.”
No matter what her opponent said, she spat out her own words and lay down on her bed.
“Haaa~”
Even if she has reached the state of prefecture, it is quite tiring to engage her non-stop from late afternoon to morning.
So, as she puts herself on a bed made of a somewhat hard but luxurious material, she feels a sense of comfort she has never known before.
Seeing him clearly ignoring him, Jegal-jin only opened his mouth in absurdity at first.
Afterwards, as she realized what had been done to her, she spoke again in a voice full of anger.
“Impressive. To act like that to the person who will be your husband now…”
“Didn’t you say you were tired? I want to rest now.”
However, Dokgo Yakran cut off his words and replied in a businesslike yet cold voice as if he were dealing with someone who had nothing to do with him.
“…!”
Seeing that, his face was contorted, and Jegal Jin’s body shuddered with anger.
“Jegaljinnim, you’re here. It’s time to prepare for the meeting.”
The moment he was about to say something, a warrior came and informed him that it was time to prepare for the meeting.
The meeting of the Moorim Maeng is like an event necessary for Zhuge Jin to develop his influence and presence.
He presents his argument in front of all celebrities, regardless of the political situation, and discusses it as a matter of course.
In other words, it is to show the world that not only strength is strong, but that it is recognized by celebrities.
“…Talk to you later.”
In the end, Zhuge Jin, who decided to focus on the meeting for the sake of his own influence, decided to deal with this issue later.
Seeing him go out of his tent for a meeting with Musa, Dokgo Yakran,
‘It’s insignificant.’
He laughed inwardly, for he knew how to value the meeting.
‘I’m sure with this. He has no intention of showing me any respect.’
If he sincerely thought about the future of walking with him, he should have chosen himself, not the meeting.
‘There are things that Jincheon wants me for, but there are options, so I feel more at ease.’
Until now, it was always a one-way street, whether you like it or not, but now, at least, the road has split into two, so you can choose where you want to go.
If she chooses the path with Zhuge Jin, she will live a comfortable and smooth life, praised as the wife of a Murim hero.
If you choose Jincheon, you will become a dirty bitch who cheated on you with an outsider while you were engaged, and after that, all sorts of scandals will arise.
‘But the important thing is my happiness.’
She talked with Jincheon, and thanks to that, she felt the happiness of a woman even for a moment.
A big change came to the values of Dokgo Yakran, who always followed the family’s words and lived a life like a doll.

A few days later, late at night.
Squeak-
A man was moving cautiously somewhere.
However, even though they were moving secretly, there was a lot of awkwardness in their movements, as if they had never learned professional stealth techniques.
“Hmm? Who are you!”
The Moorimmaeng patrol warriors, made up of two teams, sensed the presence of people and raised their weapons, carefully checking each other with torches.
“It’s not an enemy. Don’t be too wary.”
However, for some reason, the person who moved secretly so as not to be noticed by others did not show any signs of being nervous or quiet even though he was caught by the patrol warriors.
“Hey, it’s Sanghyeon Namgung. Lower your sword.”
As soon as another patrol warrior confirmed that the man who was secretly moving was Namgung Sang-hyeon, the young head of the Namgung Sega, he stabbed him in the side with his elbow.
“I’m sorry. But why are you alone at such a late hour?”
Sanghyeon Namgung smiled kindly and answered the questions of the warriors.
“There are times when you carry the weight of family head, you want to put everything down and become lighter. Lately, I wanted to put down that weight for a while, so I went for a walk quietly by myself without letting anyone know.”
Then he put his hand in his arms and took out a few hermits.
“It’s late, but you’ve worked hard. Let’s have a drink with this later when we have time.”
“Thank you. Namgung Family Head.”
The supplies of the Moorim Alliance are supported by the Cheonui Merchant and various guilds that support the political faction, but they also have to eat and live.
So, except for basic meals and supplies, I had to pay for alcohol and snacks myself.
The hermits given by Namgung Sang-hyeon are enough for two people to have a luxurious drinking party.
‘Whoa… Shit.’
Having somehow sent the warriors back, he let out a sigh of relief.
‘No matter how important it is, this body, the head of the Namgung family, has to do this… !’
He has no loyal subordinates who can do anything for him without question, much less those who are accustomed to such clandestine acts.
So even if you get caught, you have to carry out the conspiracy yourself, who can easily get away with the above excuses.
I understand in my head.
However, he was put in a position where he was directly anxious and moved, and his heart vomited out dissatisfaction with the situation.
‘That man named Sima Gak, he probably considers me a servant, right?’
He let out a sigh as he complained to Sama-gak, a soldier of the Pacheonhoe, who instructed the head of the Namgung family to move directly.
‘If I make him do something like this next time, I will never give up.’
Perhaps if Sima Guo had heard his thoughts, he would snort and
-What if I don’t go over?
I’ll ask you again.
Now, he was destined to be dragged around by Pacheonhoe, but Namgung Sang-hyeon himself denied that fact with pride.
Anyway, Namgung Sang-hyeon, who arrived near the target tent, checked the presence of people inside.
‘That dirty Demonic Cult is alone. Jincheon, is he alone? Well, you got women thanks to your off-topic powers, would you enjoy such luxury if you didn’t have powers?’
Pungjin Okbong, who tilted the war to the side of the Murim Meng through continued activity.
As time passed, their value became more than just a strong martial artist.
Until now, they had ignored invitations from other clans and families, but in the past few days, they have been invited to attend.
In the end, the Pungjinokbong, who always lived together in the same tent within a few days, began to live apart from each other.
The friendship between them still exists, but the frequency of meeting with Jincheon gradually decreased, and there was no one until yesterday.
‘Now they slowly realize their value. It’s because the level is too different to be with a bastard who lost his martial arts.’
For reference, this information was not a special secret or anything like that, but it was something that anyone interested in within the Moorim League could know.
It was because the interest in Pungjin Okbong was so great.
Sama-gak, a soldier of the Pacheonhoe, tried to use this situation to lower the morale of the Murim League.
‘Im Ha-yeon, who was called Hwan-yo, would of course not stand still if she was framed.’
It is to frame Hwanyo Lim Ha-yeon.
Now, in Namgung Sanghyeon’s arms, there is a letter written by Sima Gak himself, and it is written that he has betrayed her and her for a long time.
Namgung Sang-hyeon’s mission was a simple one that ended when he left a letter in Im Ha-yeon’s tent.
After that, she just needs to stir up chaos while inducing Lim Ha-yeon to resist while moderately chasing the wind.
If she knew how to handle her venom, and had her cruel nature, she would resist violently, never willing to be captured.
There will be great damage here, so if you look at the situation and the confusion grows bigger than expected, Pacheonhoe will attack.
For example, those who helped Pacheonhoe support Pungjinokbong to become the backbone of the Murim League.
‘Hmm, I tried decorating it on the spot, but it’s a good idea.’
What if there is evidence that the strength beyond the limits they show is supported by the Pacheonhoe, and that all the Pacheonhoe masters they killed were deliberately made scapegoats?
If you’re a female high school student who has a good reason for the occasional mutation like Geomhu, you can ignore it.
However, despite being unknown and young, all the women of Pungjinokbong achieved an absurd level of being masters at the Hwagyeong level.
This is obviously an abnormal situation, and it is true that there are quite a few people within the Moorim League who have doubts about it.
‘There’s no law that a great talent can only be a swordsman. However, the fact that the entire Pungjin Okbong is of the Hwagyeong level is enough to raise doubts.’
After that, as long as she instills suspicion in the Moorim Meng by quietly expressing her doubts behind her back, trouble will arise on her own.
‘Okay, I’ll have to tell his subordinates. This is a pretty useful plan.’
Namgung Sang-hyeon was satisfied, thinking that she thought it was a pretty useful plan.
Anyway, since she had to put all her letters in the tent, Namgung Sang-hyeon quietly went inside, erasing her thoughts.
If you throw it roughly, it makes sense to leave it lying on the ground without hiding important correspondence that shouldn’t be found out, because it may fail to refute.
Therefore, she had to carefully insert her correspondence among Lim Ha-yeon’s belongings.
When I went inside, Im Ha-yeon, exhausted from taking care of the children, was asleep in the dark tent.
Now, if you put the letter in her belongings…
“What are you doing?”
“!?”
At that time, when she heard a sound she was not supposed to hear, Namgung Sang-hyeon, startled, reflexively distanced herself from her and grabbed her sword.
‘I’m sure there was only one sign!?’
As she turned her head to follow the source of the voice, she found Jincheon sitting on a couch in a corner.
‘Jincheon!’
Namgung Sang-hyeon, who learned that the opponent of her voice was Jin-cheon, strained her hand that held her sword, despite having to make her excuses.
‘Because of this guy… ! If it wasn’t for this guy… !’
After she met Jincheon, nothing went right.
In addition, as Namgung Sang-hyeon, who remembers the bad relationship she had with him, her heart arose at once.
