Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 170

Tie a knot (4)

Three days later.

“What?”

Prince Moyong’s expression suddenly became fierce.

“There was talk of postponing the Tang Demon Slayer Army’s expedition?”

“That’s right.”

“What kind of crazy person would say something like that?”

Prince Moyong rarely got angry.

It was worth it. Not only the time for the expedition of the combined army of the Tangma Murders but also the target had been decided.

In particular, the targets were terrible guys who were considered one of the ten most troublesome people in the martial arts world. They come and go all the time from east to west, but I heard from a reliable informant about their travel route and where they will stay for a month.

Just hit that spot and it’s over. In any case, the Mortal Army will be at the forefront, and once they are defeated brilliantly, all the credit will go to Mo Yong-woo, the leader of the combined forces.

Starting with that, I was planning to gradually publicize the majesty of Tang Ma’s army and the value of Mo Yong-wu, but you’re delaying the start of your campaign?

“That is…”

Mo Yong-gun’s most trusted confidant, Ho-gyeong, said with an embarrassed expression.

“First of all, it is said that the first person to mention that story was Jang Mun-in of Amipa (???).”

“Decryption incident?!”

“That’s right.”

The anger that had been surging subsided at once.

The leaders of the Murim Alliance were not only comprised of Bonggongs. The head of each organization was determined by appointment according to ability and reputation, and among them, there were quite a few who had a reputation so noble that even public servants could not carelessly do so.

I thought that if the story had come out, it would probably have come from them. But you’re an Amifa writer?

‘There is something.’

He was the one who smelled something unusual. I sensed something ominous about the keen resourcefulness that made him what he is today.

Moyong-gun, who was lost in thought for a moment, spoke.

“It’s an issue that hasn’t even gone through the Fongongong meeting, so there’s no way such an important story would have been going around. “Didn’t someone spread it on purpose?”

“That’s it…”

Ho-kyung said with a shocked face.

“Among the soldiers in the Mortal Death Army, there are Ami’s lay disciples. “Our people heard them talking in the restaurant.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes shone coldly.

‘They’re babies?’

I knew that none of the soldiers in the Army of Death had any proper experience.

“Go and get the details of the lay disciples of Amipah. ASAP.”

“All right.”

Half a day passed like that.

“Matriarch.”

Ho-kyung handed over some documents.

It was a document listing the personal details of Amipa’s secular disciples, starting with Song Yeon-gyeong. Their martial arts level, personality, and position in the clan were described in detail.

Moyong-gun, who had been looking at the document for a while, suddenly felt a bluish energy in his hands.

Pop! Grrrr.

There was a threatening flash of lightning, and the documents turned into a handful of ash and disappeared.

“When did you say the Fonggong meeting was held?”

“It’s noon two days later.”

At that meeting, it was planned to review the preparations for the Tangma Murder Army’s deployment and send it out exactly five days later.

‘It is difficult to understand just by looking at the location or personality of the babies. Then…’

Moyong-gun looked at the documents piled up next to him. These were documents containing agenda items to be proposed at the last service meeting before departure.

“What about public ambassadors?”

“I am currently at my residence.”

“Go and tell it. “There is a pressing issue, so let’s postpone it to tomorrow morning.”

* * *

The next morning, the monks gathered in the Museongjeon conference room.

The public ambassador opened his mouth.

“So, why did Bong Moyong summon us for some reason?”

Before answering, Prince Moyong looked around at the Dukes.

His eyes stopped on Bokhosae.

‘….’

The decryption situation seemed quite calm. He didn’t seem too surprised by the meeting being suddenly brought forward.

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.

‘I knew it.’

You already know how you’re going to turn out.

‘Bokhosatae is not a person with great political acumen. ‘He is a person who has lived his whole life for the right path and righteousness.’

In the process of attracting various Bong-gongs to the ally, there are a total of three Bong-gongs that were completely excluded.

They were Shaolin, Shaman, and Ami.

The leaders of these three sects are not easily shaken. If you approach it carelessly, you may face backlash.

So I was careful, but I never thought I would get stabbed in the back like this.

‘If this wasn’t what the Deokho incident intended.’

His eyes turned to Yeonwi.

‘Not Yeongaju.’

In a way, he is a tougher person than the Deokho incident. Moreover, he was the father of Yeon Ho-jeong, the commander of the Mortal Army. For reasons of law and respect, it is not easy to mention matters related to the Mortal Army.

‘The possibility of it being Pangaju is also slim.’

His eyes finally turned to Zhuge Wenhu.

The sight of him taking a sip of tea in a slow motion was truly like the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang.

‘You must be a soldier.’

There was a look of puzzlement on the Ambassador’s face.

“Moyong Bonggong?”

“…I’ll tell you.”

Moyong-gun said with a somewhat stern expression.

“Recently, there has been illegal activity in Shandong….”

He relayed in detail each and every detail written in the documents he had brought.

There were quite a lot of them, and some of them were serious issues. Because there were issues that would immediately have a negative impact on people’s livelihoods, the atmosphere in the meeting room became quite heavy.

But the officials knew. The reason Moyong-gun brought forward the meeting was not just because of what was written in that document.

Even if you are not good at politics, there is an atmosphere of understanding after several months of meetings. The Dukes waited patiently until Prince Moyong’s true intentions came out.

After a while.

“These are all the agenda items we will present today.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes and…”

Moyong-gun’s eyes lit up.

“Finally, I would like to discuss the timing of the Tangma Murderer’s joint army’s expedition.”

There was a look of puzzlement on the face of Yonghwajin, the man with the long face of the volcano.

“Wasn’t the joint army’s departure time set to be five days later?”

“Of course it is. However, I thought it would be right to hold a meeting at least one day first and then convey the details of the operation to the soldiers of the joint forces.”

“Hmm.”

“The Mortal Army has been in perfect harmony through months of combat. But Tang Ma is not like that. “As there are so many people, I think we need to give them at least a day of time.”

Yonghwajinin nodded.

“That is correct. In fact, sending them out without proper training is cause for concern. However, I think we can be relieved about that because Commander Moyong’s martial arts and presence during the founding ceremony were truly impressive.”

“That’s right.”

Moyong-gun smiled.

“Furthermore, aren’t the people who make up Tangma’s army all men of great reputation in the rivers and lakes? “If Commander Moyong leads well, we will be able to accomplish our mission without much damage.”

Yonghwajinin smiled.

“But it seems like giving us an extra day would help the morale of the entire military. “I agree with Moyong Bonggong’s opinion.”

“thank you.”

It’s really good to have someone to share your political comrades with.

Moreover, the Hwasan faction was a faction that competed with the Shaman faction to be the best in the world. As the scholar-in-chief of that sect agreed, several Bonggongs nodded in unison.

It was then.

“I have something to tell you about that.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.

‘Is it you, after all?’

Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.

“I’m telling you straight. “How about delaying the departure of the Tang Demon Slayer Army a little?”

Namgoongin frowned.

“Why are you delaying the time of departure that has already been confirmed?”

Zhuge Munho smiled leisurely.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about that for a long time. In the case of the Immortal Army, they launched without a founding ceremony and made countless contributions. “The soldiers who make up Tangma’s army are also outstanding, so there is nothing they can’t do.”

“That is correct.”

“However, the situation is different now than then. “When the Mortal Army went out to war, there was no alliance system in place, but now there is a clear system and organization chart in place.”

Yeonwi asked briefly.

“Are you saying there’s no need to overdo it?”

“That’s right.”

Teng Tianqiao, the leader of the Communist Party, frowned.

“Tangma Commander Mo Yong-wu’s abilities are outstanding. “If the already decided departure time is delayed, our high morale will collapse.”

“As Lord Bong-dong said, Commander Moyong’s abilities are outstanding, so he will be able to comfort his broken morale well.”

“I think it’s useless.”

It was a fairly harsh statement. He spoke in a manner befitting a member of the communal faction who said he was as rough as anyone else.

Seunghyeonjinin, a shaman, said.

“Jegal soldier.”

“Please speak.”

“Even for this lackadaisical person, delaying the start of the campaign seems to be a problem. Of course, it would be good if we prepared more thoroughly, but with only a few days left before the expedition, wouldn’t it be unreasonable to adjust the timing now?”

Zhuge Wenhu nodded.

“Is that so?”

“I think so.”

“Well, I got caught up in that part too.”

Zhuge Wenhu rose up and took possession of the gun.

“It seems they didn’t want to take risks with the Maeng organization system in place. “Please forgive my hasty remarks.”

It was a clean apple.

Most of the monks smiled and said it was okay, but Prince Moyong couldn’t do that.

‘what?’

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes narrowed.

‘You’re giving up already? ‘That can’t be possible, right?’

The answer can be found by looking at the expression on Deokho’s face. It was clear that Zhuge Liang was even anticipating that he would bring the meeting forward.

“ah! Speaking of the timing of the expedition, I also have something to suggest.”

Prince Moyong flinched.

‘tendinous?’

what? What about that reaction that seems like they’ve been waiting?

At that moment, Mo Yong felt a chill running down his spine.

‘Were you really waiting?!’

Are you saying that everything from spreading rumors, moving up the meeting, and talking about the timing of the expedition was all bait?

‘…for what?’

Zhuge Wenhu said with a smile.

“It is none other than the story of the leader. Would you like to hear it?”

Interest arose on the faces of the servants.

The public ambassador nodded.

“It was something we had to discuss at some point. So, what part do you plan to suggest?”

“The position of leader is truly an honorable position. However, even if the system is established, it is clear that whoever becomes the leader will have some difficulty leading the first Murim Alliance. “It’s not because I lack ability, but in terms of experience.”

“So?”

“I suggest this.”

Zhuge Wenhu said calmly.

“How about creating two deputy lord positions in the newly created lord department?”

Not one, but two.

As he watched the eyes of the Dukes sparkling, Prince Mo Yong was caught up in one thought.

I was hit.

* * *

“Vice-lord… I understand, but why did you push two of them instead of just one?”

“I want to guard against concentration of power.”

“But even if you are a leader, you can’t ignore the feudal lords, right?”

“But what do you think will happen if the majority of people support the feudal lord?”

“…!”

“We must create a checking force at all costs. Institutions of power are meaningful only when they exist for the benefit of the world. “It should not be determined by one person’s political ability.”

“Huh.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coolly and looked out the window.

The sunlight is really nice.

“If the leader is truly a good person, wouldn’t he be able to embrace opposing factions?”
