Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 236

Conflict (6)

“The practitioner has been contacted.”

Full-sang’s eyes sparkled for the first time in a while.

“It looks like things are going very interesting, huh?”

After hearing his explanation after a while, the group couldn’t help but be amazed.

Paeyul grumbled.

“That guy must have been a nine-tailed fox in his past life.”

Zhuge Zhenyan chuckled.

“Jeong must have been in trouble too, right? “I never thought Yang Cheon would collapse so suddenly.”

Tang Sang-ah said with a serious face.

“What on earth is going on? Yangcheon is a rare expert who is treated on the same level as my grandfather. For a master of his caliber to fall unconscious…”

“Sister, I’m curious about that too. “For now, let’s just think about our safe return.”

“Ah…”

Tang Sang-ah said awkwardly.

“Because it’s so unexpected.”

“Well, that’s true. “If you think about it, depending on the state of Yangcheon, the entire world could change.”

“I… honestly, it’s out of pure curiosity…”

“People who change the world are always driven by trivial curiosity.”

Paeyul clicked his tongue.

“Let’s stop talking about useless things.”

“yes.”

“So when should we move?”

Full-sang shook a document.

“I think we can move on the day the practitioner and Mr. Moyong meet. Looking at the situation, it looks like Moyong-gun will at least contact you within today.”

“In that case, I will give it three days at the latest.”

“You can think of it as two days later.”

“good. And they?”

“…I’m waiting.”

“hmm.”

Full-sang’s expression suddenly became uncomfortable.

That wasn’t all. Not only Tang Sang-er, but even Zhuge Zhen-yeon had a somewhat uncertain look on their faces.

“That senior.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Is it really okay to leave it like this? Otherwise, what crime can these people have? In a way, they are victims.”

“I know.”

“I don’t know if it would be better to risk your life to screw over Prince Moyong, but… to use him like this…”

At that moment, Paeyul’s eyes became sharp as if he were being cut.

“Don’t insult them.”

“yes?”

“They were not taken advantage of, but chose their own end. “Neither you nor I, who are just beggars, have the right to disparage their choices.”

“….”

“Even if it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be able to survive for less than a month and would die. “Isn’t that why they willingly participated in this plan?”

“….”

“They committed countless mistakes in the past, but at least they repented of their past life at the last moment. “May you know that it is an honor to be able to be with such people, even if just for a moment.”

Paeyul, who spoke as if scolding, stood up.

“I would think it was two days later. “You should also rest well until then.”

“All right.”

Just like that, Paeyul left the room.

Zhuge Zhenyan quenched his appetite.

“I think I know why Jeong brought you.”

“….”

“Honestly, I thought he was just a martial arts fanatic who likes to fight, but I was wrong.”

Tang Sang-ah nodded.

“I think he was a person who realized a lot before learning.”

“that’s right. I guess this is why it is said that there is no knowledge before wisdom. “He is truly someone worthy of imitation.”

Full Sang sighed.

“To be honest, I still don’t know.”

“is that so.”

“Looking at things like this, I definitely don’t think I’m going to be big.”

Zhuge Yan smiled.

‘That can’t be right.’

Yeon Ho-jeong can be colder than anyone else depending on the situation. As he has fought countless battles, his wisdom in life is also outstanding.

Even with considerable experience, there are not many people who can make as sharp a sense of insight and cool-headed judgment as those two people.

But what was more difficult than that was Huge’s good nature. Hu-gae is frustrated with himself for not being able to keep up with Yeon-ho-jeong and Pae-yul, but it is a thousand times more difficult to live with a good heart like Hu-gae in this harsh world.

‘I understand why Yongdubark placed this person as his successor.’

Those who handle information inevitably stray away from convention and morality.

But Hugae didn’t do that. He looked at people rather than information, and although he could make wrong decisions because he looked at people, he tried not to create unhappy people.

Zhuge Yan hoped that he would not lose that good heart in the future.

“You guys, take a break. “It won’t be long before I return home.”

* * *

“You’re here.”

Yeon Ho-jeong headed straight to Baek Seo.

“I received a call from the head of the Moyong family.”

“….”

“I think we need to leave today evening to be able to arrive by the appointed time.”

White Paper silently looked at Inkryongjeon.

Yeon Ho-jeong patiently waited for his answer.

After a while, the white paper opened its mouth.

“Director of Intelligence.”

“Please speak.”

“You know, I can’t leave. “It’s impossible for me to be absent while the vice-lord is still unable to come to his senses.”

“I know.”

The white paper is one of the zodiac signs, but it is in a completely different position from the other signs of the zodiac.

In other words, even if he acts as deputy governor, no one in the department will be able to say anything to him. White Paper was someone who was trusted to that degree.

“I feel like canceling everything, including my promise to the head of the Moyong family. “If the Vice Lord has fallen, what is the use of meeting with a mere head of the Sixth Generation?”

White Paper’s eyes cooled.

“So I cannot understand the urgency of the head of the intelligence department.”

“I understand.”

I understand.

You’re not trying to convince yourself, you’re just saying that you understand.

The white paper thought that this aspect was extraordinary. The new head of the intelligence department is as tough as anyone else, but at the same time, he is a person who is able to fully recognize the other party’s situation.

White Paper nodded.

“I am the vice-lord’s confidant. Whether the Vice Lord takes control of the world or walks alone in the wilderness, all you have to do is follow his footsteps. But not you.”

“….”

“You are the part necessary to make the Vice Lord’s dream come true. And each part has its own use. “Just like me.”

“….”

“I will protect my father-in-law. “You do what the Lord wants you to do.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took control.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

White Paper turned around.

“What about the congressman?”

“The ghost doctor responded. “It will arrive within five days at the latest.”

“It’s faster than I thought. “Thank goodness.”

White Paper looked up at the ceiling.

It was difficult for even Yeonhojeong of the world to guess what he was thinking.

“I will give you the Chinese zodiac signs: In (寅), Jin (辰), Sa (蛇), Shin (申), and Sul (戌).”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

It is said that among the zodiac signs, the tiger, dragon, snake, monkey, and dog will be added.

It’s not just about following the five masters. If you include the organizations under their command, there are at least 300 more masters following them.

“With that level of power, even if the Moyong family had set a trap, there would be no problem in saving their lives.”

“That’s enough.”

White Paper turned around.

“I will not receive a separate departure order. “You can leave whenever you’re ready.”

“I understand.”

“Director of Intelligence.”

“Please speak.”

“I wish you luck.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at the white paper, took out three neatly folded documents from her arms.

“Take it.”

“What is this?”

“Detailed information about the traitor at headquarters.”

“…?!”

In an instant, Baekseo’s face became as hard as stone.

“Did you just say I was a traitor?”

“exactly.”

“…who the hell are you?”

Yeon Ho-jeong put his index finger to his lips.

“You will find out more when you see this. “I didn’t want to add unnecessary confusion to the already messy situation after the Vice Lord said so, so I put it off until now.”

“…!”

“I called you to my residence and interrogated you, and you revealed your true colors. “Inevitably, a fight broke out, and we managed to subdue it.”

There was surprise in White Paper’s eyes.

“You said it was suppressed?”

“exactly.”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his voice even further.

“I met him quite naturally and dragged him to my residence. “The reason I have to tell you this now is partly because the wealth is in disarray, but also because I don’t believe there is a chance that another traitor exists.”

“…Hmm.”

“Perhaps the fact that the Vice Lord fell like that was a trick of the traitors.”

Tsutsutsutsu.

Intense murderous energy emanated from the white paper’s body.

“How dare these…!”

Even though I know it’s just a family, I can’t control my life. He found it difficult to keep his cool when it came to matters related to Yangcheon.

“We will get ready right away and leave within an hour.”

“….”

“After we leave, go straight to my residence. “Because they imprisoned a traitor there.”

“…I understand.”

“I’ll say it again. You’d better move quickly. If there is any waterproofing, they will try to figure out the traitor’s last movements and then try to escape from here.”

“Right.”

“As soon as we leave the club, please ban the entire Mukryongbu from entering. Then go to my dwelling place and catch the traitor. “After that… I trust you will take care of it.”

The White Paper took over.

“You must have had a hard time in a place I don’t know. “Thank you.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took the lead.

“It was something that had to be done.”

“I have one question.”

“Please speak.”

“How did you know he was a traitor?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Because he was too distant from the zodiac signs.”

“…Zodiac!”

“The first-class Sejak tries not to stand out in all aspects of personality, position, and location. However, Sejak, who is classified as a special class, is bound to hang around in a conspicuous place, holding a prominent position with notable moves.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.

“Well, he’s just a traitor, but it’s a bit hard to call him a three-year-old.”

He turned around.

“I will take good care of you, my lord.”

White Paper nodded with a heavy face.

“I have no doubt that you will return after completing your work well.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who turned his back, smiled bitterly.

I’m sorry, but we’ll never see each other again.

* * *

Sigh!

“Wow!”

Black Sheep felt himself come to his senses at the sudden thunderbolt of water.

“Gasp! Ugh!”

As soon as I came to my senses, I felt excruciating pain all over my body.

I couldn’t move my upper body because of my broken ribs and clavicle. My right arm, which had torn cartilage and shattered joints, had no feeling at all.

A dull pain also arose in my thighs and abdomen. All of them were areas that had been attacked by the head of the intelligence department.

‘affection!’

The black sheep gritted his teeth for a moment.

“How dare this rat-like bastard launch a surprise attack…!”

It was then.

“You mean me?”

The black sheep felt as if her heart was dropping.

“You shouldn’t look down on him too much because he’s a rat. “Because there are fierce rats like me in this world.”

The black sheep barely moved her stiff neck and raised her head.

In front of him was a white paper with a bloodier expression than ever before.

“Traitor black sheep.”

“…!!”

“It’s a pretty cruel sight. “I thought the head of the intelligence department wasn’t an ordinary hero, but I didn’t know he was so cruel.”

The white paper lowered its upper body.

“But you know that, right? “There are many torture experts at headquarters who would consider the hand of the intelligence chief to be as bad as punching a child.”

“…gulp.”

“Well, I think we’ve set the mood at this point.”

White Paper smiled coldly.

“If you answer the question obediently, it may be quite painful, but I will kill you. But otherwise…”

“…!!”

“I will make it so that you can neither live nor die. Do you understand?”
