In this way, any traps of the opponent were meaningless.

Because no one will know that the Venerable Heukreuk is in Jeolambong Peak.

“Jin Choong-bido. Master Cheongi has come to visit you.”

“what?!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised by the unexpected guest.

Seeing the elder Jegal Sega enter the tent with a clear voice and an upright posture, Yeon Woo-hyeok hurriedly got up.

“no. Did you receive an invitation, too?”

“I got it. I refused. Isn’t that why I recommended you?”

“!”

At the words of Cheon Ki-soo, Yeon Woo-hyeok finally realized why Mo Yong-se and the warriors had invited him.

No matter how recently he built his reputation, he wondered if it was too sudden for the Moyong family to call it, but it seemed that Jegal-wu recommended it in his own name.

“Thank you for the grace. But why didn’t Master Cheongi accept it? If there is any problem with the Moyong family…”

“no. The wages were not to my liking.”

“…Ah, yes.”

“Lower your voice! I don’t want to brag that Mo Yongse came to them.”

Even Zhuge Yu seemed to have entered the camp quietly without telling the warriors. Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised and straightened his posture.

“Guess why I’m here!”

“Since you recommended me, aren’t you concerned about whether I’m doing my job right?”

“Wrong. If you were worried about doing the job right, why would you recommend it in the first place? Are you crazy?”

“……”

When I heard it, it seemed right. Yeon Woo-hyuk wondered why the other person had come.

If you didn’t come to help the Moyong family, or because you were worried that Yeon Woo-hyeok would do well…

“…You didn’t come here because you didn’t want me to get paid properly, did you?”

It was the first time Yeon Woo-hyeok saw Chun Ki-soo smiling over his long white beard. Chun Ki-soo opened his mouth, smiling with wrinkles on his eccentric face.

“right!”

“…Gam, thank you. I didn’t think there was anything like this, but…”

“under!”

Zhuge Yu laughed as if it were absurd.

“If I hadn’t heard the rumors, I wouldn’t have come. I heard that you freed the first Confucius of the Moyong family from being framed?”

“yes.”

“What did you get for that?”

“…Uh, I’ve already received a hermit…”

Jegalu made a surprise exit. Yeon Woo-hyuk tried to block it by seeing it with his spiritual eye, but Jegal-woo made Yeon Woo-hyuk suffer even though he knew it with a herbivore who changed everything in an instant.

right!

“Don’t talk like an idiot!”

“I’m sorry.”

He did nothing wrong, but Yeon Woo-hyuk apologized. The opponent was glaring at him like fire.

“If it were me, I would have approached the first Confucius separately. What would you do if you clean up the false charges?”

“……”

“After that, he would have approached the second and third Confucius again. First, I’m thinking of clearing Confucius’ false accusation, but I promise to cooperate so that the two don’t lose face. Then it’s a win-win! How good it is to respect everyone’s face without building a grudge!”

‘I’d like to introduce you to the palace judge.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk suddenly wanted to introduce his superior.

Zhuge Yu continued to click his tongue and said.

“From now on, try to take care of yourself. The hermit you received is not enough even for the price of solving the truth!”

“yes. I will keep that in mind.”

Suddenly, cheers erupted from outside. It was a victory cry.

Chun Ki-soo quickly sensed something ominous and asked.

“What? What’s going on?”

“Yeah, actually I am.”

“…?”

Yeon Woo-hyeok looked at Investigator Chun Ki and said.

“There is a man named Heukreukjonja among the Madou, and I thought we could catch him, so Mo Yong-se told the Confucius his location…”

“Hey, you f*cking bastard!”

Moorim departure (4)

Inspector Cheon Gi shouted at the Moorim Malhak junior without knowing himself, who ordered all the disgrace of military disgrace.

There will be no other person in Moorim who is so talented yet acts so stupidly.

It would have already paid for itself if he had released Heuksa Cheongyojin from Cheonggoe Sanjang.

“If those who claim to be Murim’s soldiers or schemers hear this, they will chew your flesh!”

‘Isn’t that enough…’

Investigator Cheongi, who had been bragging for a long time, managed to regain his composure and glared at Yeon Woo-hyuk.

“so? Did Moyongse let Confucius capture the Venerable Heukreuk? for a moment. He wouldn’t be an ordinary cunning fellow.”

Considering the strength of his martial arts, the Heukreuk Venerable was not strong enough to be remembered by masters such as the Cheongi Susa, but he was a Madu notorious for his cunning mind, persistent caution, and wicked magic.

Ordinary Madou, even if they had rapidly accumulated noble martial arts, could not overcome their temper and destroyed themselves, but Madu like the Venerable Heukreuk did not die easily. It played the role of sticking out its head again at any time and scratching the itches of Sapa guys.

Of course, catching this guy wasn’t easy. Moreover, the Confucius of the Moyong family are not so young and lacking in experience. It was absurd for these guys to catch Madu like Heukreuk.

“There were people who were bought by the Venerable Heukreuk, so I left them alone without catching them. It was because I thought that if I got impatient, I would not contact him again. As expected, the men sent by the Venerable Heukreuk entered the camp. As you said, Madu, like Venerable Heukreuk, is very cautious and won’t show up easily, so I thought he would wait in the most remote and uninhabited place among the terrain around the mountain hut and come down only when he was sure. With that kind of personality, he won’t tell any other Madou or his subordinates about his location, so wouldn’t it be easier to catch him if we just set the location and make a raid?”

“…You have the nickname of the Cheongi Susa!”

Jegal-wu threw the best praise he could to the Moorim junior sitting in front.

Where did a guy with such hair come from?

“no. I was just lucky.”

It may sound like nonsense to Investigator Cheon, but Yeon Woo-hyeok half-sincerely thought that.

In the first place, it was the realm of luck to some extent that the opponent rolled into the case he knew.

If the Venerable Heukreuk had called the men he had bought and sent them back after just talking to them without having the intention to kill many of them, there was a high possibility that Yeon Woo-hyeok would not have known about the incident that the Venerable Heukreuk was planning at all.

In the end, the Venerable Heukreuk was caught in his own life.

“With that kind of luck, even the first person in the world would be killed. But it’s still not enough to use your head. It’s not a thousand knight investigation, but a thousand chi investigation.”

“…give me a lesson.”

Pretending not to hear the trivial pun, Yeon Woo-hyeok spoke politely.

“Since you’re a brainy bastard, you’ve probably already noticed the mistakes you made without compensation!”

“yes. I am reflecting.”

I just got so angry, there was no way I didn’t know.

“But it’s actually not that simple. As a soldier of Murim, the next most important thing after receiving wages is to not incur resentment while receiving wages.”

‘That’s right.’

Yeon Woo-hyuk deeply sympathized.

Occasionally, the fearless people demanded undeserved remuneration from the Murim people, but usually those things did not end well.

Even if you are in a hurry now and have no choice but to pay the price, a person’s heart cannot be the same as time passes.

In the end, those who rip off more than their bowl had to pay that much.

“Let me guess! When you thought of a way to catch Heukreuk, you would have told the servant of the Moyong family. The servant of the Moyong family would have reported to Mo Yongryeom first, the third person, Hwagum Gongja. Mo Yong-ryeom is a guy who knows how to live a little in popularity, even though he lacks half in martial arts or reading minds. On the other hand, Mo Yong-so, the one-time swordsman, lacks the aspect of caring for his subordinates. Upon hearing your report, Mo Yong-ryeom must have shouted as he knelt down. Oh, heaven helped me and sent that stupid Podu! How can you borrow wisdom like this with a few pennies of a hermit!”

“……”

Yeon Woo-hyeok had no choice but to be silent at the absurd slander.

“Mo Yong-ryeom, who was so happy, must have been thinking about making a contribution. If it was the one who cut off the head of the Venerable Heukreuk, it would be greatly recognized in the Sega. However, the Venerable Heukreuk is not an easygoing guy. Besides, Mo Yong-ryeom is popular with his subordinates, but he is not a Confucius who is greatly trusted even by the warriors of the family. What about then? Aha, of course Mo Yong-ryeom has no choice but to ask another older brother to catch it with him! The difference will widen forever if you make a contribution with the first Mo Yong-so, so the opponent will of course be the second cold sword master Mo Yong-hyeon.”

After speaking at length, Master Cheongi took a sip of the hot water from the teacup. This Podu guy was drinking plain water without even a tea leaf in his cup.

“It is a good thing to be gracious to the second and third. It’s a waste of money, but I can’t help it, so let’s skip it.”

‘You said let’s move on from earlier, and you said it dozens of times.’

“But what will the First Swordsman think? Wouldn’t that Budu hold a grudge for being gracious to the two princes, excluding himself? No matter how much you clear Mo Yong-so of the false charge, people in the world forget what they received and hold grudges on what they did not receive!”

“I am, Commander Cheongi.”

“Why?”

“Actually, if I told the servant, I was afraid that he would only tell the one he was loyal to, so I just gathered the three princes together and told him the location of Venerable Heukreuk.”

Chun Ki-soo widened his eyes. It was an outburst of admiration and admiration.

From noble mtl dot com

“You… you…!”

Yeon Woo-hyuk felt a little proud when the Cheon Ki-su admired him.

This was a meticulous manner of living that certainly deserved praise.

“This guy who doesn’t take care of the price like an idiot has reached the level of success in life!”

“…you said you were passing over, didn’t you?”

Yeon Woo-hyuk couldn’t stand it and spat out the words. Chun Ki-soo ignored him and said what he had to say.

“Good job. You could say this is really clever! Then that shout must have been captured by the three of them together. One guy must have built the biggest ball that took his breath away, but the others will only express their gratitude to you even if they feel sorry for them.”

At that moment, a coughing sound came from outside the tent. Chun Ki-soo muttered that he had been talking too long, and then said.

“Yeah, sorry. Come in!”

“!”

At the words of Cheongi-su, a middle-aged Murim man he had never seen before entered the tent. Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised.

‘It’s the pinnacle!’

In addition, it was higher than the red-faced blood brain Ak Gon-Hong that I faced last time, but not low. It was a well-forged warrior like a sword.

“This is Mo Yong-tae of the Thunderbolt Goddess. The elder of the Moyong family. No matter how much I sneaked in, would I just enter the camp of another Sega without permission?”

In fact, he thought it was possible enough, but Yeon Woo-hyuk hid his true feelings and pretended to be surprised.

“As expected, I thought it was strange! By the way, I’ve never seen the Thunderbolt Goddess Daehyeop, but maybe…”

“You must be right! I’m watching the Confucius guys.”

Mo Yong-tae said as if he was embarrassed.

“Sir Cheongi. Not surveillance, but prepared for the unexpected…”

“aha. You are ready when you need help.”

“Yes.”

When Yeon Woo-hyuk said something nice, Mo Yong-tae was delighted.

In fact, there were several reasons why the elder of the Moyong family was waiting around here.

One was to join Confucius when there was a personal problem…

The other was to monitor Confucius.

To be precise, it was an evaluation, not a monitoring. Mo Yong-tae’s older brother and the family head of the Mo-yong family wanted to hand over the head of the family to the most outstanding of the three, and to do so, a careful evaluation was necessary.

The reason Mo Yong-tae came here was to serve as the Sega’s armed force in preparation for the unexpected and as an examiner to evaluate the Confucius.

“Thank you again. Pimple rain too. I admired the ploy that cleared the false charge of the cow and captured the Venerable Heukreuk.”

“If you admire it, reward it properly!”

“…When the work is done, I will reward So-hyeop separately.”

Only then did the Cheon Ki-soo shut his mouth as if satisfied. Mo Yong-tae sighed and opened his mouth.

“If you want a reward like that, I will give you a thousand gold, so please evaluate the three contributors.”

“!”

Yeon Woo-hyeok was moved by the high reputation of the Cheon Ki-soo.

Buying a thousand gold in one line I didn’t even know that was the real level of one thousand gold.

However, the Cheon Ki-soo just cut it off and refused.

“There is no such thing as an idiot who gets involved in determining the succession of other generations.”

“I won’t tell anyone. I will see it alone.”

“There is no idiot who believes a guy who wants to see it alone.”

Mo Yong-tae, knowing full well that there would be no answer even if he tried to convince Moorim’s old senior, didn’t ask for anything more. I wasn’t expecting much anyway.

“I was impressed that he cared about the relationship between the three of them. Can I ask for one more thing?”

“Listen and judge!”

“???”

Yeon Woo-hyuk was surprised when his voice came out even though he didn’t say it.

Mo Yong-tae must have felt it too, and turned his head in surprise. Investigator Cheongi, who imitated Yeon Woo-hyuk’s voice, said with an expressionless face.
