Chapter 99 – Chapter 20 (4)

There is only one day left until the Yongbong Branch.

Zhuge Yu continued to try to find the dark forces that were aiming for the Yongbong branch, but all of his efforts were in vain.

In the first place, you don’t even know what the enemy is aiming for, but when you try to check everything, the fact that trust between political factions weakens due to the Yeok-Gyeong-Gyeong Jang Bo-Do incident was very large.

Even the smallest traces need to be found.
It’s good even if it’s a little bit, a very minute thing, so if you catch your eye, you can find out what you’re aiming for from the beginning.

“Military.”
“Yes yes?”

While I was thinking about it alone, Hyeon-neung, the leader of the Jeongmu-maeng and the younger brother of Shaolin Temple’s Ark Hyun-young, called on Zhuge Yu and brought him back to reality.

For reference, I can’t say that Shaolin Temple’s power and prestige are very low, but both Hyeonyeong and Hyeonneung were excellent candidates for the next ark of Shaolin Temple because of their excellent character and qualities.

His older brother, Hyeonyeong, was superior in martial arts and became the master of Shaolin Temple, but conversely, the only difference between the two was martial arts.

As the term of the head of the Jeongmu-maeng ended, he was able to become the head of the Jeongmu-maeng by receiving the recommendation of many people.

Haha, you really seem to be worried.”
“I’m sorry, my lord. You thought of me on purpose…”

Hyeon-neung couldn’t see Zhuge Yu’s nervousness every time he got close to Yongbong Branch, so he was inviting them to a garden where the leaders could cool their heads and were serving tea.

You may wonder if it is too much to make a garden just for an individual, but once a huge group called Jeongmu-maeng moves, the impact, whether positive or negative, is bound to be very great.

So, it is clear that the space in the garden where the leader who will make such an important decision can cool his head is quite important.

“Do you really think there is a dark force trying to control Moorim?”
“Yes. Otherwise, it is impossible to set up a table for each faction to fight like this.”

Gaggal-yu firmly answered Hyun-neung’s question.
Seeing such a soldier, the leader smiled bitterly.

“Look, soldier.”

Then, after drinking a cup of tea, Hyunneung opened his mouth with a nice smile and voice trying to persuade the other person step by step.

“The history of this Moorim is deep and wide. No one can say that it started at any moment, but the history of warriors who have built up at least a thousand years is the current Moorim.”

Hyeonneung spoke of several munpa and family.

“The old school, a political faction including the five great families. Although they have different values ​​and views on martial arts, they are the Sapa and the Demonic Sect who are in charge of one axis of the Murim.”

Putting down the teacup, he spread his arms to express the vastness of Murim.

“The current Moorim is the one that has been forged and established martial arts through countless bloody experiences, going through a period of confusion, with numerous clans collapsing and new strong players emerging. Perhaps it is a period of confusion, but the present has developed to a level incomparable to the past. Can you imagine Murim being shaken by the dark forces?”

In the end, he only gently explained, but the leader also said in the end, ‘Woorim has developed over a thousand years. It was said.

“Lord Lord. I also understand the strength of Murim that Lord Lord said.

As they ran parallel lines like that, their opinions came into conflict, but Hyun-neung let out a sigh close to a sigh while thinking about something for a moment.

“It seems that the master has been working too hard on the military during this time. After the Yongbong branch is over, we will give you a vacation for a while, so please go back to Sega and rest for a while.”
“Lord!”

Hyeon-neung’s conclusion was that Zhuge Yu had become a conspiracy theorist after seeing and experiencing many things as a soldier of the government.

In other words, this vacation meant to cool down a bit and get away from the illusion that there is a dark force that does not exist while looking at the wide world outside the narrow political alliance.

The biggest problem is that Hyeon-neung’s expression shows a firm will not to listen to him anymore.

His intelligence when he had such an expression did not convince anyone.
After thinking about something for a while, Zhuge Liu put a condition instead.

“Okay. Instead, I’ll be in charge of the security issues from now until the end of the Yongbong Branch. I’ll go on vacation after the Yongbong Branch is finished without any problems.”

If the Yongbong branch ends without any problems, I will admit that it is a delusion and go on vacation.
Since it was a claim to take a step back from each other, Hyeon-neung nodded his head and gave permission.

“Okay. I’ll gather the elders from now on.”

*        *

“Is this for me?”
“I set the center of gravity to suit your body. Give it a try.”

Jincheon, who made a spear dedicated to Hong Seol-rin at her forge, handed it to her while she was training at her personal gymnasium within her Jeongmu-maeng.

Hong Seol-lin, who had not yet seen her abilities as a blacksmith, tried holding the spear he gave her while looking slightly suspicious.

“Huh? Huh?”

When Hong Seol-rin grabbed the spear and swung it a few times, he was startled.
It was because it was a spear with a perfect center of gravity tuned to him.

“And pour the bet into the window.”

Whoops!

As Jincheon said, when I placed a bet on the window, the bet covered the window without the slightest resistance.
It is truly a weapon made for the Murim people.

“Awesome! Isn’t this really easy to use?”

As Hong Seol-rin swung the spear around, he realized that it was much more comfortable and better than the spear he had used before.

“How the hell did you manage to make a perfect spear for my center of gravity?”

Jincheon answered her question with a dark look in his eyes.

“Because I felt it when I got on my body.”
“…!”

While staying at her inn, Seol-Lin Hong’s face instantly turned red when she remembered the posture of her riding on top of Jin-Cheon’s body.

“Thanks to feeling your weight with your whole body, I was able to easily find the center of gravity…”
“Kyaaak!

Hong Seol-lin swung her spear at Jin-cheon, forcing her to shut up.
Of course, it was an attack without the intent to kill, so Jincheon was able to easily avoid it by moving quickly.

Cheon Hye-wun, who watched the young man and woman’s affection (?) From a little distance, covered her mouth with a hearty smile.

“I’ll end the joke here. This time, I’ll definitely win one of the three peaks. If it’s my girl, shouldn’t that be enough?”
“Hmph, of course. Thanks to this spear and Sword Master’s training… Ah…”

Hong Seol-lin, who recalled her memories of spending two years with Geom-hu, turned sullen as if she remembered the disappointed expression on her face that Geom-hu had on the day she became a woman in Jincheon.

“Why? Is that bitch bothering you?”

Jincheon, who had been planted with the stereotype that she was an irresponsible bitch who did not take responsibility even after being a scholar and scolding Geomhu, was worried that Geomhu would bully her.

“No, these days, when they see me sometimes, they ignore me. To be honest, it’s true that he did that to you without discussing anything with me, but it’s lonely because his love for me was sincere.”
“That’s right.”

If Seol-Lin Hong had her relationship with her sword lord estranged, she felt a sense of mission that she had to undo the relationship herself, so Jin Cheon devised a plan to train her sword swordsman.

‘If two women get along well and get stabbed by my cock, they will naturally get along.’

The problem is that the plan is at a shameful level for the word plan to be attached to it.

‘First of all, I’ll solve the post-mortem problem, and Eun So-hye, I’ll make that bitch my female.’

She is Geomhu, who has a heart that she has fallen in love with, and Eun So-Hye, who is innocent and has a sweet taste, and has her gatekeeper.

As she checked her basic martial arts books so far, she digested them as her own, and instinctively felt that Jincheon, who had no time to make spears for Hong Seol-rin, could only focus on one of her two women.

After the Yongbong branch meeting, Eun So-hye is sure to leave as if she had waited.

Jincheon wanted to focus on which side, but there was someone who interfered with his plan.

“Are you Jincheon? The military commander is calling.”

Jin’s face twisted.

*        *

Hye-woon and I arrived at the private office for the soldiers of the Jeongmu-maeng and overheard a conversation with the leader from Jegal-yu.

“So, from now on, the security issue of the Yongbong branch is being taken over by the military commander.”
“Because the Lord and I argued for too long, saying that each other exists and does not exist. To be honest, both of us were getting tired.”

Well, if you keep arguing about things you’re not sure about, you’ll want to make your own moves to see who’s right.

By the way, it certainly bothers me that Pacheonhoe hasn’t shown any movement so far.

Shit. If I had known this was going to happen, I should have known more about the Pacheonhoe.

“To be honest, no movement has been found so far, so I sometimes think to myself, ‘Maybe it’s a delusion’.”

No, they definitely exist.
But what kind of plot are they plotting?
What kind of conspiracy is it that you can’t feel the movement this far?

Before I came to this world, I tried to follow the main characters who dealt with these dark forces while remembering the contents of the most recent martial arts or fantasy novels.

But thinking about it, not even 1 is helpful.
Why?

Because all of these bastards have regressed from the past and started knowing all about the incidents and password slogans of the dark forces!

“Movement not found…”

I muttered the words and turned my head quickly.
Other novel protagonists are no help.
So, let’s use my judgment to deduce their conspiracy.

Full brain operation!

“Where are you currently on your guard?”
“Just in case, I quietly followed suspicious late exponents. And I’m thoroughly wary of outsiders and workers infiltrating the place where the Yongbong branch is held.”

If I were Pacheonhoe, I would cause problems at the Yongbong Branch Party.
Since everyone’s eyes are focused on it, it’s clear that that time is the best situation to cause trouble and make the Murim people happy.

No plan whatsoever without any rough work! I can’t get it up while doing it.
The problem is that this old man is not an idiot, so it seems that he is first and foremost wary of outsiders and workers who are the easiest to mix with…

“For a moment.”
“Chief, did you remember something?”

I stretched out my hand toward Hye-woon, who was about to come closer to me, and climbed onto the string of something I was barely holding on to.

After getting out of the darkness on a string like that, I came up with another option.

“I’ll ask you two things.”
“Something?”

Ajae Jegalyu, who saw my expression, also became serious.

“You said you would take care of the guards, didn’t you? Was the decision made unilaterally by the head lord, or was it the result of a meeting?”
“The Lord of the Lords never handles things arbitrarily. He must gather the Elders of the Lords, go through a meeting, and pass it. If you insist on it once, you’ll pass it somehow.”
“Then, the second question. Who was the most objectionable person there?”
“There were a few of them. Originally, some of the other elders were doing this, but all of a sudden I…”

I waved my hand at Ajae, who was about to fall into another place, and returned the question to the starting point.

“I don’t care about the internal politics of the Political Alliance. What matters is who the ‘most’ objectors are. Desperately, as if it should never be taken away.”
“…No, wait. That’s… Nonsense…”

Finally, Jegal-Yu’s father understood what I wanted to say.

Okay.
All dark forces basically do not solve everything with their own power.

Because it is a dark force, it is pushed out in a battle of numbers, so it must move with a traitor in the opposing camp.

“Who is he? And what is the original guard area?”
“No… That can’t be the case. That person…!”
“Damn it! You’re saying it because it could be so! Who is that!”
“…”

In Mystery Comics, ‘That can’t be! I’ll have to check it myself!’ Don’t try to act like idiots who don’t inform the surroundings and run around alone and get killed by the culprit!

At my questioning, Jegalyu Ajae opened his mouth as if muttering weakly with an expression that the world was over.

“The priest of Lord Maeng… Shaolin Temple’s Vajra Immovable… Hyeoncheol… Grand Master…”
“Yes!? Ambassador Hyeoncheol!?”

Hye-woon, who noticed through the atmosphere that the person coming out of here was a traitor, became extremely shocked.

“It can’t be… That person… Why…!”
“Who is that person?”
“That person…”

Hye-Woon explained about Ding Zhong, that she was Ambassador Hyeon-Cheol for me, who did not have much information about the Moorim people.

He is a warrior of Shaolin Temple who trains the Diamond Buddha, and at the same time, he is a monk of Shaolin Temple who has an indomitable mental strength that never retreats while dealing with evil.

Now he has reached the state of Hwagyeong, but even before he reached Hwagyeong, he was prepared to die if he fought evil and adhered to the stance of invincibility.

However, he is merciful to good people, and is said to be one of the representatives of the Political Alliance, respected by countless warriors regardless of age.

In other words, it means that he is one of the faces of the sect who has been an example to many since his youth.

“A spy put in by the dark forces? No, he went through several crises where he almost died if he didn’t help by chance. Why on earth is he…!?”

It’s so fucking frustrating.
The answer is already decided.

“If you’re not a spy you planted from the start, you must have given or promised to give that person something to tempt them, of course.”
“It’s because I haven’t experienced the personality of Ambassador Hyeon-cheol in Geumgangbu-dong! This is… There must be some misunderstanding!”

Oh fuck
I can’t stand it.

Quaang!

First of all, I made it focus on me by hitting the desk with moderate force to make a loud sound.

“Listen carefully, Uncle Jegal. Even if he was good at first, as time passed, he may have compromised with reality as he went through events we don’t know about, and there is a possibility that the dark forces noticed that there was a wish we didn’t know about.”

It is not an uncommon phenomenon for people in the legal profession, who were sternly punishing corruption when they were young, to become corrupt like other politicians in politics.

“But… But that person…!”
“Adamantine? Outstanding personality? After all, the monks of Shaolin Temple are also human beings, but don’t they have any desires? Just thinking like that means that you don’t know much about humans. After all, humans are creatures that live for their own desires. It’s just law and order. I don’t have the power to deny it, so I just live by hiding that desire.”

Alright, it’s time to use a quote from someone I saw on the internet.
I don’t know who said it.

“Someone I know once said: If you want to test a person’s character, give him power. With power comes nature.”
“You can say that because you haven’t seen Ambassador Hyeon-cheol.”
“So, isn’t it a law that can be judged objectively? Like you, you were famous for your justice in the past, so you don’t have a stereotype that it will be like that now, so you can have this view.”
“…”

Jegal Yu Ah-jae was at a loss for words at my words and hung his head.
