< Episode 55 Exam (1) >
Half each time.
Hoeju’s residence is located on the top floor of the main building.
Hoeju is with his back to the lamp and his face in shadow is wrapped with a bandage.
The expression of Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong clan who was looking at him like that was stiffer than usual.
‘…Is this why he didn’t show up?’
Because he suffered irreversible injuries it was quite a shock to the cancer doctor who thought he was like that.
Hoeju said to him as he wrapped a bandage.
“Cluck cluck. Why do you think I showed this to you?”
“….”
Hwan Ya-seon head of Amjong could not easily answer Hoe-ju’s question.
He hid this from himself who is in charge of confidentiality and information and is only now showing it.
Of course there are a few things you can guess.
The first was the impact it would have if this fact became known.
Perhaps a big crisis will occur within the Cheonjihoe as well.
‘This is a natural problem and the next one is…’
Is it the trust of the association?
It used to be that way but since his illness has deepened no one seems to trust him except for his closest associates including the vice president.
That means
“Have you decided that there is ganja in my inner room?”
“…”
At his words vice-president Mong Seocheon snorted with a disapproving expression.
This meant yes.
‘Let’s go….’
Ganjas were always going to happen.
The Justice League a martial arts union that is in conflict with the Cheonjihoe frequently sends a Ganja organization called Amcheon to spy on and disrupt the Cheonjihoe.
It was the carcinoma that played the role of capturing such ganja.
But the fact that he hid it even from himself the leader of this type of cancer
‘I too am an object of suspicion.’
I was embarrassed.
He did his best to control his facial expressions and did not show it but the cancer doctor Huan Yasun was not happy about this situation.
Because he was a Baehwagyo person.
He said that being the target of suspicion was not good for the future reconstruction of Baehwagyo.
Although it was short Hwan Ya-seon was troubled.
He ‘must restore trust somehow.’
Otherwise the reconstruction of Baehwa Bridge may be in vain.
The good news is that although there may be a test in revealing the truth that has been hidden for now trust still remains.
Then Hoeju fully bandaged got up from the bed.
Hoeju got up and opened his mouth.
“The imperial palace has once again requested later indices. “You know that right?”
For more than ten years the Imperial Palace’s special agency the Jinui Commission had been requesting the Cheonjihoe including the Justice Alliance to send young later leaders saying it was reorganizing and reforming.
Although it may seem like a simple request this was a policy for the imperial palace to maintain its relationship with the martial arts.
The Justice Alliance had already received their requests from the beginning and was sending out later exponents but the Cheonjihoe did not do so.
Hwan Ya-seon head of the Amjong clan responded to Hoe-ju’s words.
“yes. However the Lord of the Association has not approved this…”
“Cluck cluck. It’s not something that deserves approval. “How can martial arts and government coexist?”
“….”
Of course this was not the only reason.
The imperial palace and government supported the war between the Cheonjihoe and the Justice League to some extent.
Because of this the Cheonjihoe faced a disadvantage in the war.
This was the reason why the Cheonjihoe while not supporting the imperial palace did not officially move in the direction they wanted.
“It is no longer a situation to just sit back and watch.”
“Unless you’re in a situation where you just sit on the sidelines…”
“Buhoeju.”
The head of the association called the head of the association.
At this the head of Amjong looked at him in confusion.
Then Vice President continued his words.
“Officially the association rejected the imperial palace’s request but the association’s direct reports continued to make investments of their own in addition to the staff being deployed to the imperial palace.”
“My own investment?”
What does this mean?
Does this mean that the imperial palace has established a friendly force?
When did you get so involved?
But Vice President Mong Seocheon answered.
“This is Queen Hwang.”
“Queen Hwang?”
She was currently one of the two most favored concubines of the emperor.
So great was her favor that her child who was only seven years old became the crown prince surpassing the children of her grown empress.
As a result she became one of the four people who wielded omnipotent power in the imperial palace.
‘under!’
The head of the cancer clan stuck out his tongue.
Of course there were cancer-type ganjas on the imperial palace side as well.
However most of the ganja were working for information and there was no special intervention in the imperial palace.
However Hoeju took a hard line on the outside claiming that he was incompatible with the imperial palace and was interfering with the imperial palace’s internal affairs behind the scenes.
In a way it was truly an amazing feat.
“…You’re amazing even without mentioning cancer.”
“It was just a precautionary measure. “Anyway through the information from Lady Hwang’s side I learned that this information is more reliable than can be obtained.”
“…If you do that will you try to recapture it?”
“okay.”
The answer was given by Hoeju.
Amjongju felt his will from the firm voice.
As his illness deepened it was Hoeju who continued to look for ‘that person’ not the doctor.
I definitely won’t miss this opportunity.
However the situation in which ‘that person’ fell into the hands of Hoeju could be said to be as bad as being detained in the imperial palace.
What should I do about this?
At that time the vice president continued speaking.
“So this time we will accept the imperial palace’s request.”
“Ah… are you saying you are dispatching later exponents?”
“exactly.”
Hearing Vice Hoeju’s words Amjongju looked at him in silence.
It was truly extraordinary.
He was the one who had predicted this situation when he received the news that he had been detained.
There were strong signs of civil war in the imperial palace due to the emperor’s chronic illness.
Therefore there was a long struggle between each faction in power to gain power in various ministries.
A time like this was an opportunity.
“We are recruiting reviewers to be dispatched….”
“No you don’t have to.”
The vice president shook his head.
At this Hwan Ya-seon head of the Amjong clan was puzzled.
In order to recapture the person imprisoned in the golden prison under the imperial palace we need to recruit suitable talent but how is it not necessary?
no way
“…Are you trying to proceed in secret?”
Hearing these words from Amjongju Hoeju coughed and smiled.
As expected the prediction was correct.
He was such a hoeju that he paid enough attention to it that he was sure there was ganja inside.
In that case if later exponents were officially recruited for the mission and dispatched to the imperial palace this information would flow to the rear through the ganja and there would be a significant disruption factor.
“Then what are you going to do?”
If recruitment is not possible there is no choice but to appoint secretly and issue a secret order.
however
“Cancer. “Did you say anything to your student?”
“When? no. Just bring him here right away…!?”
For a moment the leader of the clan frowned before answering.
Then he asked almost glaring at the Vice President.
“Are you sure you want to send my disciple away?”
“exactly.”
Amjongju was dumbfounded by his answer.
I couldn’t believe it but it turned out to be true.
There were many cases where secret orders were issued in such a sudden manner.
This was to prevent information from spreading outside.
However there was an issue to raise an objection here.
“Buhoeju… That child has just completed the Sihyeolgok and was accepted as a disciple. “He is still capable of being dispatched….”
“Your ability is enough to pass the gate of Sihyeolgok at the top.”
“But don’t you know where that child is from? “I trust the child who belongs but…”
“Do you have any problems with trust?”
“yes?”
“I heard that you showed your will to be loyal to this association in front of everyone at the closing ceremony of Sihyeolgok.”
‘…It has reached the ears of the Lord and Vice Lord.’
As expected they were fully aware of most things as they operated their own intelligence unit.
But I just can’t understand it.
Even if Mokgyeongun had sworn there was no way the head or vice-owner would believe it right away.
Rather they were great people who would continue to test and confirm the child for a while.
But he would trust that child and entrust him with such an important mission?
What on earth are you thinking?
The head of the cancer clan spoke in an embarrassed voice.
“I can only thank you as a teacher for saying that but if you entrust this task to a child who has not yet been trained as a ganja he may fail…”
“I’m not sending it alone.”
“yes?”
“There are three people who have already been dispatched unofficially in advance and upon request your disciple and two others will be additionally dispatched officially.”
“ah….”
“Because Queen Seo Hwang wanted trustworthy personnel they had no choice but to select quickly and inevitably the disciples of the female sect were also selected.”
“….”
‘Inevitably?’
Amjongju’s eyes narrowed.
Can the explanation really end with the statement that this is inevitable?
It would still be an understandable selection if Mok Gyeong-un had not been a hostage to a political faction and had been accepted as a disciple for ten years.
I guess this
‘Is it a test?’
It wasn’t just a test for himself.
It seems that a test for that child Mok-gyeong-un is also included.
It was truly embarrassing.
The Vice President spoke to him like this with a light sigh.
“Please don’t be too dissatisfied. “I am not only sending your favorite student but I am also sending my own son.”
“By your son do you mean Mr. Mong Wuyak?”
“exactly.”
At this Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong clan could not help but be surprised.
He only thought it was a test that would put him and Mok Gyeong-un in trouble but if it included Mong Mu-yak the son of Vice President the problem would be different.
If it’s Meng Wuyak isn’t he a member of the Five Tigers the successor to Vice Lord Meng Shuzhen and the best later exponent of the Heaven and Earth Association?
Are you sending him on such a dangerous mission?
‘What on earth is your intention?’
In any case he had no choice but to follow the Lord’s orders.
It was definitely not a painful tactic to reassure myself.
But he didn’t even bother to send the Vice President’s son…
‘no way?’
Hwan Ya-seon secretly looked at Vice President.
Vice President Mong Seocheon’s eyes were strangely bitter.
Looking at this reaction it seemed that the Vice Lord was also not very happy about sending his children on this retrieval mission.
Perhaps it was to prove loyalty to Hoeju.
‘That seat isn’t that good either.’
The leader of the female clan Hwan Ya-seon clicked his tongue inwardly.
It felt truly unfortunate that even Vice President one of his closest associates had to continue to prove his loyalty in this way.
“My son who is the deputy head of the head of the association is also being dispatched so please do not raise any further objections.”
“…All right.”
It was impossible to raise any further objections anyway.
If you keep raising it you will only incur the wrath and suspicion of the association.
‘There’s nothing I can do.’
Now that things were like this it seemed like I had no choice but to trust Mok Gyeong-un.
Fortunately Mok Gyeong-un was a Baehwa-gyo person like himself.
no.
When he thought about it he might have done better.
It might be an opportunity to prevent ‘that person’ from falling into the hands of Hoeju.
Then it happened.
– Sweet!
Hoeju opened the window.
Then he looked down and opened his mouth.
“Cluck cluck. “You’re here.”
“What is that?”
“Three people to be dispatched.”
With those words Hoeju’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at the training ground below.
‘Is it him?’
He is a pawn of that political faction who is said to have learned the swordsmanship of the moon.
Hoeju’s eyes became strange.
Because of Wi So-yeon Ji Bo and Wol’s inspection were deemed meaningless anymore.
That’s why he was sent to Hyeolgok without any regrets but not only did he survive but he also became a disciple of the master of Amjong.
He is truly a strange child.
[I will eventually find my place. That is fate and natural order.]
I remember what he said.
Is it because all of this is natural?
That guy survived there too.
Hoeju looked down for a while then grabbed the test paper and waved his fingers lightly.
at that moment
-Gooooooo!
A sharp anticipation arose in him.
Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong clan who was watching this from behind was overcome with ominousness.
What on earth are you trying to do?
While I was wondering Hoeju continued to stir the inspection paper.
I wanted to watch closely what he was doing but I couldn’t.
Then it happened.
Hoeju who was swinging the sword paper as if he was commanding the Jindu suddenly stopped his hand and trembled.
And then soon
“under? “Look at this guy.”
He responded that something was absurd.
Even my eyes were wide open. What was happening?
I’m doing it
-Park!
“Sashimi sashimi!”
Hoeju jumped straight out the window.
Surprised Vice Lord Mong Seo-cheon and Amjong Lord Hwan Ya-seon ran and looked down outside the window.
* * *
Hoeju who landed on the ground in a light new form looked at the sword on the ground then turned his gaze back to Mokgyeongun and asked.
“How did you disperse the true energy contained in the sword?”
‘what?’
At these words the eyes of Nie Chun the third guard of the main building widened.
What does this mean?
Mo Qingyun dispersed the true energy contained in the sword?
no.
Wasn’t he the one who blocked the sword flying at Mo Kyung-un and blocked it by cutting off the true energy?
I couldn’t understand it at all.
That said
‘no way?’
Nie Chun recalled how the sword came back to life for a moment but then lost its strength and fell.
Could it be that that wasn’t Hoeju’s triumph?
no. Something is strange.
He could cut off the connected true energy if he created a net using a method like his but otherwise how could that be possible?
-Papapapap!
At that time two other people landed on the training ground.
They were none other than Buhoeju Mongseocheon and Amjongju Hwanyaseon.
Since they didn’t know exactly what happened down there they asked incoherently.
“How can you do that Hoeju…?”
-Sigh!
Lord Huai raised his hand and sent a doctor to tell him not to intervene.
At this Vice Lord Mong Seocheon stopped talking and looked around.
A sword hilt lying on the floor of the training hall.
And seeing so many people around him gave me some idea of what had happened.
‘Did Hoeju test them?’
Judging by the way he waved the sword he seemed to be practicing swordsmanship.
But halfway through Hoeju thought it was absurd.
[under? Look at this guy.]
Did any of them surprise Hoeju?
But is that even possible?
No matter how deep the illness was it was difficult for anyone to stop Hoeju’s swordsmanship except the two people who received the title of Eight Stars or the head of the elders.
At that time Hoeju opened his mouth again.
“Why is there no answer?”
Following Huaiju’s gaze the two executives also turned to Mok Gyeong-un.
Then Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Everyone was puzzled by the way he answered as if he had no idea.
At this Hoeju quickly sighed and laughed.
“Cluck cluck. Do you think you can fool my eyes?”
“….”
“You definitely did it.”
Hoeju said in a confident voice.
Then Mok Gyeong-un lowered his head and repeated the same words again.
“Sir I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Hoeju snorted at his words.
Then
“okay? “If I do this it will be an unfortunate accident.”
-Sigh!
As soon as he finished speaking Hoeju nodded lightly.
-visor! Shoo!
A sword that was on a soldier’s stand on one side of the training hall was pulled out of its own accord and flew towards the head of Mok Gyeong-un who was kneeling on one knee with his hands clasped together.
‘How!’
Hwan Ya-seon head of the Amjong clan flinched for a moment at Hoe-ju’s sudden behavior.
It was because he was wondering for a moment whether he should stop it or not.
But at that moment something amazing happened.
-Park! Cheer up!
The sword that was flying towards Mok Kyung-un’s head suddenly stopped as if it had lost its strength and fell to the ground.
‘!!!!!!!!!!’
Everyone who saw this scene was astonished.
That kid blocked Hoeju’s sword technique without lifting a finger?
