Episode 231
Conflict (1)
Yeon Ho-jeong came into Mukryongbu’s residence and sat down on the bed for a moment.
“….”
A face that is utterly desolate. My eyes were dry and cold like a desert at night.
“…as expected.”
I didn’t want to pass it up. I had a deep suspicion, but I never wanted to be sure until I had clear evidence.
I felt like I could be sure now.
Because these were the words of Yang Cheon himself, not anyone else.
‘Saeumgyo.’
The Three Religions of Gwangsin (狂信三敎).
Unidentified religious groups coiled up somewhere outside the country.
They are each called Saeumgyo, Gwanghyeolgyo, and Shinhwagyo, and worship the same god, but each worships them in a different way.
Since the way of worship is different, the scriptures and doctrines are also different. Although they share numerous martial arts skills, the temperaments and personalities of the members are also different.
However, besides worshiping the same god, they had one thing in common.
It is power.
‘As expected, it was like that. ‘The fact that they attacked all at once and turned the central region into a sea of blood was possible not only because of their outstanding military power but also because of decades of preliminary work.’
Byeoksan Yeonga is strong.
However, in the past, Yeonga was destroyed so easily. The reason is that there was someone inside who relayed information.
That Sejak was Tae-kyung. If he had not been there, Yeonga would have been able to fight much more efficiently.
This case is no different.
While Myeongga joined forces with Moyongga to plant Sejak in Yeonga, Gwangsin Samgyo tried to coordinate the situation by observing various parts of the central plains through Mukryongbu. Then, when they decide that it is worth attacking, they will strike like lightning and turn the midfield into a sea of blood.
A smart and shady, bold and vicious plan.
‘I won’t fault your methods. In the end, the world is about eating or being eaten. Before morality and ethics, there is no glory for the loser.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s cheek continued to twitch.
He was a man who was trying to suppress his rising spirit of life. As all the doubts were cleared away in one room, I felt relieved, but even more, the desire to kill was burning.
‘So I hope you don’t feel too unfair. Even if this side causes more trouble.’
I still couldn’t decide how to respond.
But he made a promise. I will defeat them no matter what criticism and condemnation I face. No, I will burn down even the foundation so that there is no place for them to set foot.
Wooooow.
The life that could not be suppressed touched the main body.
Grumbling.
It felt like my heart was on fire.
The red pulsing flag raised my heart rate quickly. As the body temperature rose, fire flowed through the blood vessels like a flooding river.
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath and raised the Hyeonmugi.
Chi profit.
Jujakgi complained. “Aren’t you angry too?” he cried out in sorrow, asking to go kill them right away.
‘Stay calm.’
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed. I controlled my emotions with laughter.
‘There’s no point in getting angry now. It’s not too late to unleash this anger and resentment on them when they show up.’
Suddenly, warriors wearing black sheep masks came to mind.
‘Come to think of it, that guy.’
Among the numerous leaders gathered at the Mukryongjeon, one person in particular caught my eye.
He was the black sheep. He was a master with a unique temperament as a member of the zodiac, a special position of masters working under Yang Cheon.
‘The guys I encountered at that time were a unit under Black Sheep. He used Bu-jeong-bak, the fighting technique of the Samgyo, and the unique Cha-ryun-jin that pushed Kang-ryang was originally an improvement on the fighting method of the Sa-eum-gyo….’ A
cool aura appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s smile.
The face of the black sheep, who had been blunt all along, came to mind.
‘I already know that you are the master of the Four Emotions, so even though the mission is so important, how can I go without arresting you?’
Slurp.
Hyeonmugi completely put Jujakgi to sleep.
Yeon Ho-jeong took another deep breath and stood up. Now that I had my emotions under control, it was time to do what needed to be done.
At that time, I heard someone’s voice outside.
“Director of Intelligence.”
It was a strange voice.
A voice that seems quite old, but somehow younger than expected.
“Who are you?”
“I am the messenger of the zodiac.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
Kugugoogung!
The door opened and the visitor came in.
The doctor bowed his head.
“Meeting the Director of Intelligence.”
Yeon Ho-jeong also gave a brief greeting.
“As of today, Jeong Io has become the head of the intelligence department. “See you, Mr. Hwansa.”
The doctor bowed his head even more deeply.
“Don’t say that. “Our zodiac sign is lower in rank than the heads of the four major organizations under the Mukryongbu.”
The four major organizations of Mukryongbu literally mean four major organizations.

The Intelligence Department (情報部), which handles information, the Inspection Department (監察部), which not only inspects within the department, but also understands the situation of the Black Island martial arts and plans practical responses; Yongawon (龍牙院), which oversees all armed forces organizations within the department; and the Mukryongbu (龍牙院), which is in charge of managing the funds of the Mukryongbu. It was Yonggakwon (龍角院).
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It’s OK if the seat is vacant, but you can’t do that even in private. However, I have my own position, so I will not bow my head any further.”
It comes out quite refreshing.
There was no reason to reject it as a welcome request when the other person came forward like this first.
“All right.”
“So what brings you here?”
The doctor’s eyes sparkled.
“The manager personally ordered me to help the manager with his work. “You can leave all the little errands to me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Is that really okay?”
“of course. “I will serve you with all sincerity as it is an order from the Vice Lord and no one else.”
That means that if it weren’t for Yang Cheon’s order, he would never have come.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I understand. For now, I need some time to sort things out on my own. “I’ll call you later when the time comes, so just go in and rest.”
“Are you taking the day off today?”
“no. “I plan to stop by the information center and find out everything about my father’s internal affairs and current circumstances.”
“Then let’s go together. “I will assist you.”
“Then let’s do it.”
I already needed to divert my mind. In times like these, it’s best to focus on work.
So the two people left their residence and headed to the informant.
Was it difficult to bear the silence? The doctor opened his mouth.
“I heard there was a fight with the painter.”
“You mean that monkey?”
“…That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I don’t think it’s a big deal, but people around me keep asking about it.”
“You can’t help but care because we have become a part of the family.”
“Don’t worry. “I’m the type of person who lets go of things once they’re in the past.”
It’s a lie. In fact, if it doesn’t seem like there’s any problem, I quickly erase it from my memory, but if it doesn’t, the person who never forgets it is Yeon Ho-jeong.
If you make a mistake, you could get hit in the back.
“I told the painter separately. “Don’t cause any more trouble.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You did something useless.”
“What does it mean?”
“Looking at his personality, it seems like he doesn’t even listen to what other people say. On the contrary, because of your senior’s warning, you will probably be keeping a light in your eyes, wondering when you will try to bite it again.”
The doctor’s eyes sparkled.
‘You’re quick to notice.’
It is very difficult to objectively understand the personality of the person causing the conflict.
But this extraordinary young man seemed to be able to do that.
‘Does this mean that the Vice Lord didn’t pay attention to you for no reason?’
The Hwansa said.
“If Hwawon really harbors a grudge, he is only shortening his own life.”
“I guess so.”
“As a member of the Chinese zodiac, I apologize on her behalf.”
“I don’t think it’s up to you to apologize on your behalf. Besides, isn’t that matter over? “It’s not a topic that needs to be brought up again.”
“okay.”
“exactly.”
Even at first, he is a very refreshing person.
Although it was a bit of a compliment, I liked the person.
‘Well, there’s no way the Vice Lord would have entrusted such an important responsibility to a kid with outstanding abilities. ‘He must have been entrusted with it since he had sufficient distribution and insight.’
Most of the leaders of the Mukryongbu are looking at the new head of the intelligence department with a pity. If the vice-lord had not added the words not to create conflict, three or four of them would have come in to start a fight a long time ago.
The same was true for the doctor. Although they did not welcome the new head of the intelligence department enthusiastically, they did not view it very favorably either. To be honest, I thought the vice-owner was being too cheap.
But now I understand.
‘We still have to wait and see… but there must be a reason why he is favored by the Vice Lord.’
Yeon Ho-jeong noticed that the doctor’s eyes looking at her had softened slightly.
‘It really isn’t that easy.’
The reason why Yang Cheon sent the envoy was clear.
The intention is to empower one who does not yet have a foundation and at the same time let the entire Mukryong Club know that he is influential enough to be given the zodiac sign, which is his confidant.
Furthermore, it will also serve as a surveillance station in preparation for any unexpected situation. Yang Cheon was an old ginger who thoroughly believed in his own eyes, but at the same time knew that there were many variables in the world.
‘I’m sorry, but it won’t go your way.’
The change in the visionary’s eyes toward him means that his guard against him has become lighter.
‘I gave you a nice gift.’
Yangcheon used Hwansa, but Yeonhojeong can also use Hwansa.
And the day when we will use him to set off fireworks is not far away.
“Here it is.”
“That’s big.”
The size of the rock gate was truly enormous. It was three times larger than the main gate of Mukryongjeon.
Kugugoogung.
When the door opened, a jaw-droppingly huge cave appeared.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
‘Let’s get started soon.’
* * *
“Matriarch!”
“What’s going on?”
“I received a letter from the working-level manager.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“Give it here.”
Surprisingly, the letter was over twenty pages long.
In addition, each page was filled with letters, but the letters were smaller than the fingernail of the little finger.
Para la rock.
As he read the letter one by one, surprise appeared on Prince Moyong’s face.
“You mean you’ve already stolen this much?”
It would not be strange to say that it was a bundle of letters, all of which were top secret information within the Mukryongbu.
The financial operation status, activity radius of the informant, troop deployment, as well as the characteristics and military status of key leaders were written in detail.
It was truly a treasure that was hard to find even if you paid a thousand gold. Just receiving this letter safely made this mission no different from a success.
‘That’s amazing.’
Mo Yong was purely impressed.
‘I heard that you were inaugurated as the head of the intelligence department two days ago, so you’ve pulled out this much information in that short period of time?’
I thought there would be nothing more to admire because he was such a good worker, but every time I encountered a moment like this, I couldn’t help but admire him again.
Not only did he go through a ton of information and extract every single detail, but he also had the audacity to convey it all in two days.
It can be said that a fisherman is a fisherman.
“What about the working group?”
“Currently, only the working-level leader has entered the Mukryong Club. The rest are living in the manor, and they will probably join us in the next few days.”
“I guess so.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“I’m not the type of person to be satisfied with this much. “There will definitely be more information to extract.”
Once he started a task, Yeon Ho-jeong was the one who carried it out more clearly than anyone else. There will definitely be a bigger number than this.
“However, the fact that I sent this first probably means that I also have to prepare quickly.”
He got up from his seat.
“I’m going to have to start fanning the flames so he can come get me.”
