< Episode 102 Return (1) >
The office of the vice president of Cheonjihoe Naeseong headquarters.
Vice Lord Meng Xiochian stared at someone for a long time with a scary face.
He was none other than Meng Wuyue the son of Meng Xiocheon the deputy head of Huaiju’s direct government and the head of the intelligence department.
The look in Vice Lord Mong Seo-cheon’s eyes as he looked at Mong Wuyak was strange.
That’s right at first he was full of anger and called me to press him but when we met face to face he regained his cool due to the change in atmosphere.
‘…This guy?’
changed.
He always had a bit of fear when dealing with himself.
However I look straight into his eyes and don’t see the slightest wavering.
It was clear confidence rather than defiance.
Could it be that inaction has risen?
Even before he left here he could tell what level it was by feeling his energy.
But now I couldn’t know the exact level.
In order for him to be able to hide his energy from his opponent he must be at least equal to or higher than him.
‘Is that possible?’
Aside from being confidential this mission was very difficult so I expected that it would be a great experience and that there would be progress.
But it seems to have far exceeded that expectation.
Could it be that this child is almost at the same level as himself or has reached a level where he can overcome the wall?
If that were the case he should be happy because he was the son who would become the successor but he couldn’t be happy about the current situation.
Vice President Ju Mong Seocheon who had been looking at his son for a while opened his mouth in a low voice.
“I need to hear three excuses from you.”
“Please ask.”
The person who answered was none other than his son Meng Wuyu who was the deputy head of the Huaiju government and was in charge of the intelligence department.
As soon as he returned to the council he was face to face with his father Vice President Mong Seocheon.
“Even if the reason I didn’t contact you periodically during my return was because of the constant tracking I know this was a classified mission so why did you come in through the main gate instead of the secret passage?”
Their mission is literally classified.
However they did something that broke expectations.
Thanks to this the existence of the Holy Fire Spiritual Lord may have been discovered in various sects by now.
Even if the true identity was hidden by a carriage one could not feel at ease.
I’m curious as to why he did this and his intention.
“Speak.”
“I’ll be honest with you.”
“frankness?”
“yes.”
“…What on earth are you talking about now?”
“It’s to show that we’re back.”
“what?”
Hearing his son Meng Muyak’s words like this Vice Lord Meng Seocheon raised an eyebrow.
It was absurd for a moment.
Is this kid serious?
With this answer the child had already violated the orders of Hoeju and himself.
He hoped there had been a disruption near the meeting or something special but he got the worst possible answer.
“Have you even forgotten what a confidential mission is?”
“I know. “But if I didn’t do this my father would have tried to kill Confucius Mok-gyeong-un when he returned from his mission.”
“you!”
Mong Seocheon’s voice grew louder.
Even so this was related to his second question.
The order he gave was to kill Mok Gyeong-un if he came into contact with members of the political faction or showed even the slightest sign of suspicion.
He was no different from a throwaway member to the extent that everyone who was already assigned to a confidential mission was expected to sacrifice Mok Gyeong-un if necessary.
Vice-lord Mong Seo-cheon was in a very uncomfortable state as the person he had hoped would be dealt with before his return came back safely.
and
“Now… did you call him Confucius Mogyeongun?”
“yes.”
“What are you doing with that guy?”
“It’s not a big deal Mu Qingyun succeeded in his mission and is Huaiju’s fourth disciple at that point. If you do that then of course you shouldn’t call him Confucius.”
“….”
Meng Seo-cheon was shocked by his son’s answer and was speechless.
I couldn’t believe it but are you really sure that Lord Hoe will accept this guy named Mok Gyeong-un as his disciple?
He himself did not know why Hoeju showed such capriciousness but Hoeju was not in a state where he could accept anyone as his disciple.
“Is that why you called him Confucius and broke your secret promise?”
“Didn’t I tell you?”
“Do you want to claim that he disobeyed orders out of fear of being punished?”
“It’s not a claim it’s a fact.”
“…This is my first time disappointing Abby.”
“…I just did what I had to do.”
-bang!
As soon as he finished speaking Mong Seocheon hit the round table in front of him.
As the table broke and fell down helplessly Mong Seocheon spoke in an angry voice.
“You don’t know what you did. “The last question doesn’t seem to have any meaning in the first place so I’ll replace it with a command.”
“People?”
“Till the tree right now….”
No. I don’t need him now.
It didn’t matter since he would have many enemies anyway if I left him alone.
“That’s enough for that guy Mok Kyung-un. Bring me the Holy Spirit Spell right away.”
The priority was to put out the urgent fire.
When I asked him to bring the Seonghwa Spiritual Pill he not only did not come through a secret passage but also showed up majestically in front of me and even went to Amjong with a carriage.
This was clearly a violation of the command.
However since it was a secret order and the situation was not favorable it was not possible to move the unit directly under Huaiju directly so he had no choice but to give this order to Meng Wuyak.
however
“I can’t do that.”
What came out of Meng Wuyue’s mouth was a clear refusal.
Vice-lord Mong Seo-cheon was very angry at this and stood up from his seat and raised his voice.
“Are you really going to break the command?”
“Breaking the command is simply a matter of the method of return. Rather Confucius requests that Lord Hui fulfill his promise and treat him privately.”
“under?”
You want to fulfill your promise and be alone?
Did you convey that bastard Mok Gyeong-un’s intentions to yourself who is now your immediate superior and your wife?
These kids were really crossing the line.
At this Mong Seocheon’s hand moved.
-Pot!
The table broke and he stood up and was only a step and a half away so he could immediately reach it.
I’m trying to subdue him at once using Geumnasu’s method.
-Papa pak!
Not only did Meng Wuyue lightly block his method but he also pushed away Vice President Meng Seocheon.
Meng Seocheon who had been pushed back about three paces widened his eyes.
I couldn’t believe it because of the feeling but this child’s inaction was really approaching the wall.
Even though he survived the risk of death and survived how did his capabilities increase so much in just a few months?
While I was puzzled Mong Muyak opened his mouth.
“Buhoeju no father.”
“you….”
“Just as my father chose to serve Lord Huai I also chose Confucius Mokgyeongun.”
“I’m saying that now….”
“Your father may be scolding me now but he will soon change his mind.”
‘!?’
* * *
Similar time.
Manor of resistant carcinoma.
There was bewilderment in the eyes of Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong among the three lords and a high-ranking official of the Cheonjihoe who returned to Amjong in a hurry after receiving the message.
That’s right according to the words of the warrior of Amjong who brought him a message Mok Gyeong-un did not return through the secret passage of the meeting but entered through the main gate.
However according to the warriors guarding the castle gate there was an old woman riding in the carriage.
‘Seonghwa Commando!’
As soon as the Amjong lord Hwan Ya-seon heard this he was sure that the old woman was the Seonghwaryeong lord.
But what on earth is this?
It is good news that she who can be said to be her spiritual support in her Baehwagyo is alive and has escaped from the underground gold prison of her imperial palace but what are you doing to bring her here?
‘She definitely gave the order.’
The order he gave to Mo Kyung-un was to steal the Seonghwa Spiritual Pearl before returning to the Heaven and Earth Association.
He believed that with his wit and skills he would succeed even in this dangerous mission.
However a completely unexpected variable occurred.
‘What on earth have you done?’
He was a Bae Hwa believer and disciple like himself so he trusted Mok Gyeong-un.
However when the Holy Spirit Spell was brought here I couldn’t understand why he did this.
If she had offered her Holy Spirit Spell to Huaiju it could be dismissed as a betrayal in her greed to become her fourth disciple but it brought her to her cancer.
This put him in a very difficult situation.
‘Why?’
As the Holy Spirit Pillar was brought to Amjong all eyes of Hoeju’s direct reports and the intelligence department were focused on this place.
No this was a situation worthy of suspicion.
This means that he violated the Lord’s orders and brought the person he was asked to bring to Amjong.
Amjongju Hwan Ya-seon’s head became complicated.
What should I do about this?
The good news is that the vice president and the officers directly under the president tried to hide the information by blocking it but the state of the association seemed to have reached an alarming level.
then
‘…Should I try to escape with the Holy Spirit Pillar even if it means giving up the base here?’
She held a very important position in her religion.
As a person in the position of her father he had a duty to protect her.
If she falls into Hoeju’s clutches her safety is at risk.
She has to make a decision one way or another.
With the support of the manor who announced that the carriage had arrived Hwanya Seon head of Amjong arrived.
‘!?’
Hwan Ya-seon who arrived immediately frowned.
As expected Hwan Ya-seon ordered Mok Gyeong-un and the carriage to be detained once they arrived.
This was to avoid suspicion due to the eyes of the intelligence department directly under Hoeju.
However all the warriors of all types in the back garden had collapsed and several people wearing masks were seen fainting on the wall.
What is going on?
Why are they all like this?
Hwan Ya-seon’s puzzled gaze soon turned to the carriage.
‘What about that?’
In front of the carriage I saw a horse with a huge body that was incomparable to ordinary horses.
Just looking at the rough mane that looks like it’s burning it’s a famous horse.
There was someone standing in front of him with his back to me.
“Tillage?”
The man who had been standing with his back to his call released his arms and turned his body.
It was Mokgyeongun.
Mok Gyeong-un grinned and bowed putting his hands together and making a bow as if showing respect to his master.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. “Master.”
In response to his greeting Hwan Ya-seon the leader of the Amjong clan looked wary and immediately placed his hand on the sword at his waist and said
“What happened to this?”
Hwan Ya-seon asked pointing with his eyes at the fallen warriors of the female species around him.
Mok Gyeong-un answered his question by shrugging his shoulders.
“He’s not dead.”
“Isn’t that what you were asking just now?”
That wasn’t the real meaning of his question.
Not only did he bring the Seonghwa Spirit Pillar here but he also defeated all the warriors of the female clan who had ordered a siege to avoid external surveillance.
This could only be seen as intentional in some way.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him who was reaching for the sword.
“The people watching have also been dealt with so you can speak comfortably.”
Mo Kyung-yun pointed to two places with his hand.
Those were the western and southeastern walls and the masked people who fell there were not people of the female species.
There was no way that Hwan Ya-seon the head of Amjong did not know this.
“You know that I’m not asking that right now….”
-Sigh!
At that time Hwan Ya-seon frowned.
That was because someone put the tip of a sharp sword behind his back as he held the sword.
“Take your hand off the sword. “Jongju adult.”
‘no?’
He couldn’t believe it but it was none other than Byeok his bodyguard and confidant.
