Episode 314 The Aesthetics of Control (4)

“Hao Wen?”

“That’s right.”

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes lit up.

“The Lord of Uicheon has drawn his sword.”

“It seems like they chose that with purpose.”

“He is a great man who will not even touch the hilt of his sword if he is going to cut it clumsily. “I’m going to literally cut it off because I pulled it out so cool.”

“You brought in the Nine Sects and the Five Dynasties, so even Hao Wen will be helpless.”

“Exactly…”

“Yes.”

Hwang Gon, whose face became more serious, continued speaking.

“West Sogyo is in danger.”

Just because there was an emergency in Haomun, a great man like Xu Liang was put in danger?

If anyone heard it, they would have snorted and said it was nonsense. However, neither Hwang Gon, who said that, nor Zhong Zhenbaek, who listened to him, had no doubt that Xi Liang was in danger.

“On the surface, it appears to be cleaning up the troublesome Haomun, but in reality, it is clear that it is a preparatory work to push Xu Xiaoqiao to the cliff.”

“I think so too.”

In essence, the eyes of the third party watching the game of baduk are sharper than those of the person actually playing baduk. The two were able to see through the essence of this matter at once.

“Once Haomun has been sorted out to some extent, we will immediately launch an onslaught against Su Jiao. Of course, I won’t try to pressure you with force like you idiot Paengga.”

“yes. In the current situation, taking down Sogyo by force is the worst of all ways. “There is a much more effective way than that.”

Zheng Zhongbaek frowned.

“As long as the opening has lost its power and even Haomun has been paralyzed, there will be no organization in the northern part of the central plain with better information than the Uicheon Alliance.”

“That’s right. And the two intelligence groups will take advantage of the slowdown to solidify the position of the Uicheon Alliance and at the same time try to tarnish the reputation of Sogyo.”

“I guess so.”

Song Geum-baek chuckled without realizing it.

“Anyway, it’s a very vulgar method.”

“But the results are certain. Now that there is nothing to hesitate about, the Uicheon Alliance will gain the power to manipulate public opinion as it pleases. If things continue like this, Seo Sogyo’s reputation will fall to the ground before even two months have passed.”

“No.”

“yes?”

Zhong Zhenbaek shook his head.

“You are definitely a smart person. But there is one thing I overlooked.”

“What is it?”

“The atmosphere created to create an excuse cannot move public opinion.”

“Oh, of course I know that the public is not that stupid.”

“It’s not that stupid. There is nothing in the world as scary and violent as the hearts of the people. “That’s why he’s wise and that’s why he’s sharp.”

Song Zhengbaek tipped his glass.

As the strong drink went down my throat, it felt like a fire was rising inside me.

“The public is very smart. It’s just lazy. “I know everything, but in the end, it’s hard to rise up and it’s annoying to argue and listen, so I just go with the flow.”

“….”

“If the Lord of Uicheon truly wants to push Sogyo over the cliff, he will have to work hard for not two months, but half a year or even a year. “As long as Seo Sogyo doesn’t do anything useless.”

After thinking about it carefully, Hwang Gon shook his head.

“I’m not sure about that either.”

Admit honestly what you don’t know.

Zheng Zhengbai liked this part of Huang Kun. This is because it is not easy for someone with a better brain than anyone else to confidently admit what they do not know.

“Of course that’s what it says. Lord Uicheon is a poisonous snake among poisonous snakes, and I don’t know what kind of unusual method he will use to plunge Sogyo into the abyss. “Maybe they will break our expectations and destroy Sogyo in less than 15 days.”

“That might be a possibility.”

Hwang Gon continued speaking cautiously.

“What will the Lord of the castle do?”

“what?”

“Are you going to leave it like this? “Are you not planning on helping Sogyo?”

Song Zhongbaek narrowed his eyes.

“I? Why am I helping him? “There is no justification.”

“Lord Seong, the head of the Sa Sect, is someone who doesn’t need a justification, right?”

He stabs the dagger mercilessly in a polite voice. Money Bag grunted.

“You look at me so recklessly. “I am still a person who lives while maintaining the minimum standards.”

“So what do you plan to do?”

“Aren’t you asking too much?”

“I am a soldier of the Iron Blood Castle. “My work also changes depending on what the Lord of Seong is thinking.”

Song Zhengbaek chuckled.

“Honestly, I don’t know. “I don’t feel comfortable leaving it alone or offering any help.”

“Then I guess I shouldn’t help you.”

“Why do you think that?”

“When you feel uncomfortable, the best thing to do is just take care of yourself.”

“When are you going to get scolded by me?”

Huang Kun’s expression did not change.

Song Zhongbaek scratched his head.

“But what you say is not wrong. So I decided to do it like this. “If Seo Sogyo asks for help, we will listen to it to a certain extent, but if not, we will just sit back and watch.”

“I think it’s just right.”

As soon as the two people finished speaking, a voice came from outside Daejeon.

“Lord Seong! A letter has arrived with your payment!”

“By payment? where?”

“Sending destination unknown!”

Zhong Zhenbaek gestured to Hwang Gon. Hwang Gon politely brought a letter from outside Daejeon.

A remittance bag holding the letter handed by Hwang Gon.

Soon his eyes widened.

“…Have you seen this crazy guy?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Hehehehehe!”

Hwang Gon tilted his head.

Song Sang-baek, who burst out laughing in bewilderment, said to Hwang Gon:

“Spread a rumor in the midfield right now. “We need to be careful so that it can spread to the entire midfield within five days.”

“If it’s a rumor… what kind of rumor are you talking about?”

“A crazy rumor that the minor leader of the Heavenly Demon Church is going to take over the Shaolin plaque.”

“…yes?”

“Isn’t it ridiculous? So do I. But what can I do if he asks for this?”

Song Zhongbaek shook his head excitedly.

“I don’t think anyone would say he’s a magician, so he thinks creatively.”

* * *

Five days later.

“You said that?”

“That’s right.”

Eumsangdanju gritted his teeth.

“Anyway… I think it’s too much. Lord Somun mobilized all of Hao Wen’s abilities for the sake of Su Jiao. Even after all that dedication and effort, he wouldn’t even give me the slightest help…”

“Hahaha!”

Eumsangdanju was startled by the sudden sound of laughter. He soon raised his head and was even more surprised when he saw Gong Yachi.

Gong Yachi was smiling.

Hao Moon’s little owner, who was harder than a rock, was laughing loudly.

Eumsangdanju, who was surprised, couldn’t help but worry. It was because I thought that Somoonju was so embarrassed that he burst out laughing.

But he was wrong.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to say this about him, but at this moment, I would like to call him knowledge. It’s truly an idea worthy of him. Moreover, how could I not be happy that you are thinking of me so much?”

Gong Yachi was smiling brighter than ever.

Even though he was on his way to meet the top leader of the martial arts faction in a moment, he was truly happy. It seemed like all the tension I had been feeling a little while ago had been relieved all at once.

The sound frequency division was confusing.

“Lord Somun. “I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand….”

“Yes, maybe Lord Xiao might have thought that way. Now that I think about it, I was definitely like that. “I never even imagined receiving help from Lord Somoon in this matter.”

Gong Yachi looked up at the sky.

A sky full of dark clouds. Blurry sunlight was visible through the scattered clouds.

“Now I see there was a reason why Lord Uicheon attacked the main gate.”

“yes?”

“It is not because the main text has interfered with the events of the political faction Murim. “The reason Lord Uicheon drew his sword was because of Lord Sogyo.”

“What is that…?”

“Don’t you know? Lord Uicheon is keeping Lord Sogyo in check. “The text is being cut out from the beginning in order to push Sogyoju, who is shaking the world with the fearsome name of Yeomramagun, to the edge of the cliff.”

Eumsangdanju’s eyes shook.

“Are you saying that it is because of Seo-gyo that they got to this point?”

“If we look for the immediate reason, we can say so.”

“How could this be…!”

Eumsangdanju was trembled.

You may suffer this way or that, but in the end, what you suffer is what you suffered. But when I heard the reason, it was so unfair.

Hao Wen is being attacked because of the Xinjiao leader? Once again, I felt resentful of Seo-ryang.

Gong Yachi smiled and asked.

“why? Are you angry?”

“of course! Because of him, we suffered something we didn’t have to suffer! “I take full responsibility for this…!”

“I have to lose.”

“…yes?”

“I was the one who first reached out to Lord Xiao to form an alliance. According to your logic, the fundamental reason why Hao Mun ended up in this situation is me. “I made it like this.”

Eumsangdanju hastily lowered his head.

“Don’t say that! Lord Somun is not guilty of anything!”

“Furthermore, Lord Mun is guilty of giving full power to an inexperienced person like me, and Lord Mun of the previous generation is also guilty of choosing such Lord Mun as the head of Haomun.”

Eumsangdanju bit his lip.

How can you not know what Gong Yachi is talking about? It was said that the object of resentment should be Ui Tian Meng, who attacked Hao Wen, and not Xiliang, who created the reason.

It makes sense in my head. But my heart rejected it.

This is because I have suffered too much damage to calmly admit that fact.

“Eumsangdanju.”

“Yes, Lord Somoon.”

“Won’t you be happy for me?”

“yes?”

Gong Yachi said cheerfully.

“Many disciples have died. It’s definitely not a situation to be happy about. “But as the leader of Haomun, I feel very happy.”

“How do you feel?”

“The minor master of the Heavenly Demon Religion, feared by the Jeong Sect, the Sa Sect, and even all the martial people in the central plains, needed me. Furthermore, because of me, he was able to flap his wings, and now he fully recognizes my abilities and character.”

“…!”

“Which of the past leaders of Hao Mun would have been treated so undeservedly? Moreover, isn’t Lord Sogyo a genius among geniuses, who is said to be the greatest magician in the history of Protestantism?”

Eumsangdanju felt goosebumps rising from his head to his toes.

Yes.

Even with his enormous information power, Hao Wen was always moving around in the shadows. That was Hao Mun’s survival strategy, and although he was able to grow greatly thanks to it, he was still said to be lowly.

Such a lowly sect had elevated the small master of the Heavenly Demon Church and was also receiving the concern and trust of people as small as a small sect.

It was said that the Demon King of the Heavenly Demon Church, who even the head of the Nine Great Gates Sect regarded as a claw, was acknowledging the person in front of him.

“He didn’t say he wouldn’t get involved in this because he got tired of me and didn’t like me so he would abandon me.”

“….”

“You said you would not intervene because you trust me, the lowly little master of Hao Mun, more than anyone else.”

Eumsangdanju clenched his fists without realizing it.

Gong Yachi continued speaking in a cheerful tone.

“I believed in His power, and He believes in the power of the person I am. How could I abandon His trust and expectations? “I will definitely overcome this crisis for Hao Wen’s sake and to repay his trust.”

“…I’m sure Lord Somun will do well.”

“Thank you.”

Gong Yachi took out a good quality envelope from his pocket. It seemed to contain a neatly folded letter.

“Did you say that Lord Sogyo is heading to Shaolin and shamanism?”

“That’s right.”

“I won’t be able to contact you for a while. So, I wrote down what I plan to do in the future and the number of cases. “Please convey this to Master Xiao.”

Eumsangdanju’s eyes shook.

“Are you trying to go alone?”

“On the battlefield, the only thing I can trust is my own strength. Just me is enough. “I don’t need any more help than that.”

It was then.

Gong Yachi looked up at the sky and laughed out loud.

“The dark clouds are disappearing. “It seems like the sky was impressed by this Gong Yachi’s decision.”

Gong Yachi walks away laughing.

His spirit and sense of responsibility as a leader were evident in his back as he walked towards the large gate of Uicheonmaeng. The Jamryong (潛龍), which has been hiding itself with a hard mask, rises after washing itself off and flies away as a Changryong (蒼龍).

Gong Yachi’s treasure, showing no signs of fear or tension, was so proud that the world could admire it.

Gong Yachi, who reached the front gate, shouted in a loud voice.

“Gong Yachi of Haomen has come all the way to ask Lord Dam for a private treat! Please open the gate immediately!”
