Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 226

Return of the King (1)

Prince Moyong, who had secretly ascended to the northernmost part of Honam, made a public appearance at a fairly famous base.

It was truly leisurely.

He was drinking alone in a luxurious special room on the top floor of the building, when he suddenly looked out the window.

“It’s a nice view.”

As expected, it takes 20 hermits just to settle down, and you can see Dongdong Lake at a glance.

The sight of sunlight hitting and shining brilliantly on the surface of a lake as vast as the sea was truly enchanting, to the point where I felt overwhelmed.

The names Hubei Province and Hunan Province themselves come from Dongdong Lake. It’s north of Dongdong Lake, so it’s called Hubuk, and it’s the southern region surrounding Dongdong Lake, so it’s Honam.

In other words, it is one of the most famous lakes in the inland region. Indeed, looking at it like this, there was a reason why people unanimously praised it.

“I think this is the first time I’ve been able to see things so leisurely even though I’ve settled in Hunan Province. her! “It seems like I’m living a pretty tough life.”

The lake is wide and the land is fertile. Far below the city, children are singing happily.

There was no separate Mureungdowon.

A chill suddenly appeared on the face of Moyong, who was looking at the lake as if fascinated.

‘I guess it’s almost over by now.’

It was past mid-morning. With Yeon Ho-jeong’s skills, it would have been over before one o’clock.

‘I’m sorry for leaving you with the cleaning for no reason. What can one do? It was too fascinating a moment to just pass over.’

The actual commercial team of Gwiju Chamber of Commerce was killed.

And those who disguised themselves as members of the commercial faction were the shadow warriors who destroyed the surrounding clans and merchants under Mo Yong-se.

‘I was still wondering when I would handle it.’

Shadow Warrior.

His words don’t cause any shadows, but to put it bluntly, he’s just more of a problem solver. White people disguised as political factions can be said to be human butchers who do the work for them that they could never do.

Prince Moyong raised those butchers himself. This is because I thought that if I borrowed outside help, I would definitely be caught in the future.

They even went so far as to select only those with families from the beginning out of concern that they would betray them in the middle. Because a dog that has something to protect will never bite its owner.

And now their usefulness has come to an end.

Mo Yong smiled coldly.

‘For the person who will become the next leader, their existence is too dangerous. Slowly, a foul odor emerges from the affected area. If they are the ones who will always make me sick, it would be better to take this opportunity to cut them out.’

In fact, he kills all the merchants of the commercial group and clouds the eyes of the Gwiju Commercial Association.

Afterwards, he disguises the shadow warriors as merchants and causes them to die at the hands of the working group, leading the working group to accomplish its mission.

In the meantime, he makes his presence known to the Black Island to divert their attention, and then induces Yeon Ho-jeong to come to catch him, plotting the death of the entire working team.

If that happens, the working group will be able to safely return to the mainland. Furthermore, since he is considered a dead talent to the outside world, Yangcheon will also not try to find more working-level staff.

This was the picture drawn by Prince Moyong, the commander of this mission.

‘There’s not much left of this year. ‘Elections will begin next year.’

I tipped Prince Moyong’s drink.

It was a cheap liquor that was not suitable for the high-end class. Even after drinking that strong drink, I felt no emotion.

‘Not only does he have the power of the faction, but as the commander of a mission that can shake up the martial arts world, he even makes this case a success. It may not be enough to be considered an achievement worthy of winning the next presidential election, but anyway, there is no one among the public officials who has done as much as me.’

What is important in elections is popularity.

But just as important as connections was ability.

‘Just right. Yangcheon came forward at just the right time. very good.’

The ability to turn a crisis into an opportunity is essential for a politician.

At first, I was genuinely concerned about Yangcheon’s existence. Of course, it is no different now.

However, after receiving a request from Zhuge Literary and Yan Yu, he had an intuition that his presence could be beneficial to him.

‘We don’t hesitate to ask for things that we can’t solve ourselves, even if it is from a competitor. In other words, the more difficult the problem is to solve, the more people look at ability rather than network.’

In times of peace, a person with good reputation will win the presidency in times of trouble.

It is still not enough to call it a time of turmoil, but it cannot be said to be an era of peace as the Dark Islands arose due to the establishment of the Murim Alliance.

‘When the time is right, I’ll have to start fanning myself.’

I personally came to Honam to prepare for it. Fortunately, preparations were still progressing smoothly.

“Isn’t it Saeongjima, the ruler of life? After all, people need to open their minds and learn. “Thanks to you, Zhuge Commander, I learned something big.”

I truly cannot help but be grateful.

If he hadn’t asked him to do this, he would have tried to fight this match in a more primitive way.

But things went like this, and instead of rolling in the mud, I took the opportunity to flap my wings gracefully.

‘This is why life is fun.’

Moyong, who filled his empty glass, chuckled at a thought that occurred to him.

“Look at you, Hojeong. The truth is, I hate you to death, but at the same time, I still haven’t been able to let go of my regret. “You have no idea how much I want to take you under my wing.”

This was sincere.

As I told the official, Yeon Ho-jeong was not a talent who should be undervalued because of his age. Rather, he deserved to be evaluated more highly for being able to engage in political strife at such an age.

If Yeon Ho-jeong joins hands with him.

If that really happens, it will be worth it to go beyond the Baekdo martial arts world and aim for the world.

“But I also know. That you will never join hands with me. “Maybe that’s why I crave you even more.”

Mo Yong-gun emptied his glass again and stared at Dong-ho Dong.

The mystery of the lake covered in sunlight. There was no such thing as ugly human conflict.

At first glance, bitterness appeared on Mo Yong’s face.

“…what can we do? If you were born as an animal, you have no choice but to follow the path of the beast. “I believe you will understand since you are a wild beast like me, born with fangs.”

It was then.

“Matriarch.”

It was Muyeon’s voice.

Moyong-gun asked as he filled his glass.

“What happened?”

“The working team destroyed the commercial team.”

“As expected.”

In the first place, I never thought the working-level team would suffer. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have done something like this.

Yeon Ho-jeong had to live. At least until this mission.

Yeon Ho-jeong should not have died. At least in the land of darkness.

“He must have been quite surprised because it wasn’t discussed in advance, so I need to comfort him a little. Tell this to him. I will always leave the door open. “I tell you to come whenever you want.”

* * *

“Hahaha!”

Yang Cheon burst into laughter.

“I knew it would happen. “I knew you would succeed.”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“It is thanks to the Vice Lord’s trust in me. We will continue to strive to meet your expectations.”

“I wonder if I can take care of it. “If I didn’t trust you in the first place, I wouldn’t have called you here.”

Yang Chen said with a satisfied face.

“So, how are you going to clean up after this? “Can we just block the information?”

“The traces were set up to make it look like a mysterious expert had attacked us. Even if the Gwiju Chamber of Commerce sends someone, it would be difficult to figure out who did it.”

“Hehehe.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said cheerfully.

“But if the vice-lord takes care of it, I won’t bother to refuse it. “It’s good if the work is neat.”

“Haha! “You seem to have a more pleasant side than you think.”

Yang Chen pounded the armrest.

“Okay, I will process the information at the level of the Mukryongbu. “The Gwiju Chamber of Commerce will never know about this.”

“…thank you.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were sparkling with extreme ferocity as he bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.

‘This was it.’

The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.

I felt like my life would explode if I didn’t smile.

‘We’ll take care of it… So, even if you kill him, we’ll take care of it here, so you can escape without any problems?’

Really, the only thing that makes me think is that he is an amazing human being.

This time it was truly amazing. I was so impressed that I wanted to tear it to pieces and kill it.

“You know it too. “The transported goods you brought are of great value, but considering the financial power of the headquarters, it is difficult to say that they are that great at the level of the Mukryongbu.”

“I know.”

“In other words, the value as a fund is not great. However, it can be a proof that you have proven your abilities.”

“Of course.”

Yang Chen nodded.

“You can use the dowry you brought.”

Yeon Ho-jeong raised his head without realizing it.

Unlike before, which was full of anger, his expression was purely surprised.

“What do you mean?”

Yang Cheon burst out laughing.

“Did you know you could make a face like that? “You get to see many things.”

“…?!”

“Isn’t this someone who will do great things in the future? “I already received a big gift, but I was wondering what to do for you.”

“But…”

“From now on, you are a member of the Mukryongbu. “If we can’t give proper treatment to talented people who work for wealth, why just take it and use it?”

Yangcheon leaned his upper body forward.

“I care about talented people. If you care about something, you should treat it the way it deserves. “As long as you don’t make a mistake, I won’t kick you out.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Yang Cheon, lowered his head again.

“Thank you for your generosity, sir.”

“It’s done. “People were really that harsh before they came under me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“I didn’t think you would really accept it.”

“ha ha ha!”

It seemed like he was in a really good mood. Yangcheon’s burst of laughter showed full joy.

“Okay, enough about Saddam, let’s talk about work now.”

“That’s right.”

“You have proven your abilities. “If you have that level of ability and merit, not many people will object even if you give them a high position.”

Not much. In other words, it would exist.

“I have to endure that much.”

“Of course you should.”

Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.

“So what position do you want?”

Yeon Ho-jeong answered immediately.

“He is at least the level of a director of the Intelligence Department or a senior assistant sergeant of the Inspection Department.”

Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.

“If you’re not the head of the intelligence department, do you want the top position in the inspection department?”

“That’s right.”

“I had thought you would want a hot seat, but I didn’t expect it to be the Intelligence Department or the Inspection Department.”

“Is it strange?”

“It’s not strange, but I thought you would be in charge of a combat unit. “With a martial arts skill and personality like yours, that might be a better fit.”

Even though there were problems with the use of true energy and internal strength, the insight he had honed while achieving that level did not seem to have gone anywhere.

If he truly wanted to commit himself to the Mukryongbu, he would have wanted a powerful position in the combat unit.

“We have to get our hands on it first from Hunan Province. To that end, I think an internal management position is much better than going to the front.”

“Hmm, that certainly could be the case.”

Yang Cheon quenched his appetite.

“As you may have guessed, it is difficult to create a position in the inspection department. “We can suppress the opposition sufficiently, but due to the nature of inspection, if outsiders come in, the atmosphere will become too harsh.”

Yeon Ho-jeong pulled away, pretending not to notice.

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. “Wouldn’t you do that?”

“if?”

Yang Cheon quietly looked into Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes and then nodded willingly.

“You shouldn’t be a monarch who disappoints your subordinates with one word, right?”

“…!”

“We will begin reorganization in three days.”

Yang Chen smiled.

“Try your best, Director of Intelligence.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“…I won’t disappoint you.”
