Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 273

Welcoming Guests (5)

“Hmm.”

Yeonwi looked around.

It was snowing again. I pulled it up to my inner strength and swept it away in an instant, but in the meantime, two layers of snow had piled up on the ground.

“It’s pouring a lot.”

I wondered if there was a need to use the snow that would have piled up anyway, but in the end, it would be easier to walk if I swept it away. Moreover, once it comes, it piles up to almost a foot high, so if you keep leaving it on, it will eventually become more difficult.

Swish swish.

Yeonwi wiped her eyes again.

There was plenty of time and there was nothing special to do. Moreover, as I continued to use my eyes, I stopped having random thoughts, so it was surprisingly effective as a meditation.

How much time has passed like that?

‘hmm?’

Yeonwi, who had stopped, started sweeping the broom again.

After a while.

“It’s a bizarre sight.”

Yeonwi looked at the gate.

Beyond the open gate, I saw a guesthouse dressed in fur.

“The head of the sixth generation is sweeping the yard. Is there nothing to do?”

Yeonwi said calmly.

“I have some time left today.”

“Are you not thinking about ordering your subordinates to do this?”

“There are no subordinates. And whether my subordinates or I do it, if it’s someone else’s job to do, wouldn’t it be better for me to do it?”

“Good words.”

His unique sarcastic tone of voice remains the same. The voice was as sharp as before.

Yeonwi put both hands on the tip of the broom.

“So why did you come all this way without any message?”

“Do you have any alcohol?”

Yeonwi smiled.

“I have some very good liquor.”

The official snorted.

“I will give you a chance to apologize. “If it is not a good drink, I will never accept your apology for the rest of my life.”

“Don’t worry. There is Confucius liquor that was imported directly from Shandong. I heard that compared to last year, manufacturing volume was only one-third. “I was sweating to save you.”

The official snorted.

“You said you were the king of the world, but in the end you were the king of a study family?”

“This one is especially better. “Try it yourself and you’ll see what I mean.”

“joy!”

The party hall entered Pagungak.

“Stop sweeping the broom and try setting up a drinking table. “You don’t have to pay for snacks.”

“Let’s do that.”

The official looked around.

“I don’t feel any energy. “You said you went to escort a woman called West Station Lady, but it looks like she’s already left?”

This is probably referring to Yeonhojeong. Yeonwi nodded.

“He left three days ago.”

“It’s good that there’s no annoying person.”

“Hehehe.”

“Why are you smiling so much?”

“Wouldn’t that mean this person is okay? “I feel sorry for your son, but wouldn’t I be better than that guy?”

“You are free to be mistaken. “I will find out whether you are truly a good person or not only when you receive the glass.”

“Good.”

The Yeonwi, holding a broom, led the building to the first floor door.

“Please come in.”

* * *

“Huh! “Huh!”

Kang Ryang’s eyes were completely opened.

That wasn’t all. His entire body was full of unusual stab wounds, and each one was very deep. The cut was so deep that if the blade had gone in just a little deeper, it would have severed the bone.

“That’s all for today.”

“Wow! Thank you for your hard work!”

“You worked hard too.”

Slurp!

Kang-ryang collapsed.

The snow field, which was pure white without a single blemish, was stained red with blood. It was a sight that anyone could mistake for a massacre.

Mo Yong-woo, who was watching the two’s match from afar with his arms crossed, stuck out his tongue.

“Commander Yeon.”

“Just call me like you normally do. “You don’t have to hide it from them.”

“…Yeonje.”

“why?”

Prince Moyong shook his head.

“Isn’t it too cruel to do it? “You really almost killed Prosecutor Kang.”

Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.

“If you’re going to die doing this, it’s better to just die.”

“her! “The series is really strong.”

“The ghost sword he mastered pursues a strong sword that is both rogue and practical. “It’s the same with his nature. If you don’t push him like this, he won’t be able to reach his true intention even if he goes on for the rest of his life.”

“Hmm.”

“Otherwise, you have to learn it in a bloody battle, but it is better to learn it by getting a few hits from a skilled expert.”

Mo Yong-woo’s eyes lit up.

“I heard that your Four Gods Martial Arts are also martial arts on the battlefield.”

“It’s nothing compared to Sasinmu. That’s what’s so great about ghost swords. It is an extremely strong and practical topic and has a very deep sense of swordsmanship. “Maybe if I just focus on kendo, I can become as strong as anyone in my later years?”

“But why are you pushing it so hard?”

“Both he and I are impatient to wait until later in life.”

These were truly Yeonhojeong-like words.

Mo Yong-woo quenched his appetite.

“Let’s stay on base today. If you do that, Prosecutor Kang is really dead… huh?”

Pusssss.

Kang-ryang staggered to his feet. Although his breathing was still rough, his gestures of shaking the snow off his body showed some strength.

Mo Yong-woo’s mouth dropped open.

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Are you scared?”

“How?”

“He is naturally very physically strong, and when he concentrates on the Demon King True Energy he has mastered, he boasts a recovery power that is almost at the level of magic. “In about three or four days, you will be able to reverse all the injuries you just suffered as if they never happened.”

“omg!”

You can recover from all those severe internal and external injuries in three or four days. Mo Yong-woo couldn’t believe it.

“Whoa.”

Kang Yang took a deep breath. Although he had good recovery ability, his complexion was pale, probably because he had lost so much blood.

“Your brother is truly merciless.”

“Let him recover as much as possible by tomorrow. Because we’ll stick together again. “You also need to know how to deal with things when they are not in perfect condition.”

“yes.”

They were two people who were good at exchanging nonsense.

Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.

“Anyway, like you said, it would be better to stay on base today. “We ran out of food.”

What I admired the most was not Kang Yang, but silence.

“Good. “It should have been done right away.”

“Do you want to take a shower?”

“…Really.”

“I was just asking, but aren’t you overreacting?”

“It’s so loud!”

So the group headed to a base in Chaoyang County, Hubei Province.

The base running was bigger than expected. There were a lot of people and the atmosphere was very lively.

“I’m resting well. “I’m going to visit the open branch for a moment.”

“Are you going alone? Just wait a moment. “Wash up and go together.”

“No, it’s okay. “Wash up first.”

Yeon Ho-jeong found the branch of openness that way.

The branch was located not far from Chaoyang County. In fact, the branch of openness spread like a spider’s web throughout the central plains, so wherever you went, there was always at least one hidden place.

“I am Yeon Ho-jeong, the commander of the Murim League’s Confucian Army.”

“I was informed in advance. Thank you for your hard work in coming this far. “What information should I give you first?”

“First, let’s start with the West Station priestess.”

The branch manager spoke as if he had been waiting.

“The West Station Priestess is currently staying in Sanggo County, Gangseo Province. “I guess they plan to take care of the patients as much as possible until Commander Yeon arrives.”

“Right.”

“Just…”

“Hmm?”

The branch manager frowned.

“It appears that the information that the West Region Goddess is heading to the Murim League has been secretly spread. “It is said that the Gangseo Province Lawmakers’ Association is controlling medicinal substances.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face also frowned.

“You’re doing something like that even though there’s a sick patient?”

“If you’re sick, don’t get checked by her, but come to us.”

“Why are there all these crazy people?”

“That’s right. However, because the coalition of lawmakers exists throughout the entire Central House and their influence is so powerful, it is difficult to criticize them openly.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes grew cold.

“If it’s just a little jealousy, those people are crossing the line.”

“I’m telling you this just in case, but if you’re thinking of touching them even if just by chance, you’d better move carefully.”

“I’ve seen many cases where people fail to do what they need to do due to being cautious.”

The branch manager sighed. Byeoksanho Chief Yeon Ho-jeong was said to have a fiery temperament, but looking at the situation, the Gangseo-seong Assemblyman’s Association seemed to be in trouble.

Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand.

“Don’t worry so much. “We will monitor the situation and respond flexibly.”

“All right.”

Only then did relief appear on the branch manager’s face. Actually, no matter how fiery his temperament is, it would be very difficult for someone who is called the best reviewer in the world to get out.

Of course, the branch manager did not know the extent of the flexibility that Yeon Ho-jeong mentioned.

“Anyway, we’d better get there as quickly as possible. “Thank you.”

“no. “Is there anything else you’d like to know?”

A smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

“Father said that the second child is continuing to spread news to the government.”

“Ah, you are referring to the scholar Yeon Ji-pyeong.”

“exactly.”

“Please wait a moment.”

The branch manager, who was rummaging through a pile of documents, soon approached holding a piece of paper.

“They say it hasn’t been long since we left. It has currently entered Anhui Province and is said to probably pass through Jiuhua Mountain (九華山) and enter Jiangxi Province before heading north.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression brightened noticeably.

To get to the Henan Murim League from Jiangsu Province, where Yeonga is located, simply cross the river from Anhui and enter Henan Province.

Nevertheless, there was a high probability that the reason he bothered to pass through Guhua Mountain and enter Gangseo Province was to come see him.

‘Jipyeong.’

Yeon Ho-jeong thought of Yeon Ji-pyeong.

His white and gentle face and clear, deep eyes were full of the innocence and righteousness of a boy.

‘How have you been?’

I was so busy that I barely even thought about my brother. Now that I think about it, two years have already passed.

‘You must have grown up a lot by now, right?’

There are less than ten days left until the year ends. My younger brother is now eighteen years old.

‘I wonder how much it has grown.’

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was smiling happily, nodded.

“Thank you. “You can still hear news about Jipyeong from other branches, right?”

“of course. It wasn’t a very distant area, and people from higher up as well. “You can hear news about your brother anywhere.”

“Thank you.”

“You say all kinds of things. I wish you all the best on your future journey.”

That’s how Yeonhojeong left the open branch.

People kept glancing at Yeon Ho-jeong as he walked down the street, lost in thought.

Not only is he tall and wearing light armor, but he also has an ax the size of a human body strapped to his shoulder. Of course, attention couldn’t help but be focused.

“Couldn’t it be… no?”

“Oh no way. “Probably not.”

“But that big ax… it looks really heavy, doesn’t it? “Who else would carry an ax like that, other than the rumored wall coral leader?”

“Axes are popular these days because of the wall coral fence. “Could it be that that young man is really the head of the wall coral?”

“Is that so?”

Even though he gave me a long and reserved look, no one was willing to come up and talk to me.

Either way, Yeon Ho-jeong was only focused on thinking.

‘We are controlling the medicine…? ‘Was the power of the lawmakers’ coalition really that strong?’

I knew at least that a coalition of lawmakers existed. However, I only knew that they existed, but I did not know the extent of their influence.

‘It’s not something that can simply be dismissed as the work of a western station maiden.’

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

‘In order to create a specialized clinic in the Murimmaeng, smooth distribution of medicinal materials is essential. ‘It would be quite a headache if a coalition of lawmakers controlled it.’

A sigh came out of my mouth.

‘I’m starting to pay attention to the oddest things. I’d better not think about anything today and get some rest.’

That was when Yeon Ho-jeong returned to base.

“Wow!!”

Tremendous cheers erupted from the top tier of the bases.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the upper floor and felt his eyesight turn dark.

“…Have you come on a picnic, you guys?”

Where the cheers erupted, three familiar prayers were waving.
