Taejonbirok Volume 15 Episode 6
Chapter 84: Laziness, Confrontation (1)
“So where do we end up if we go this way?”
Jang Il answered Wi Yeon-ho's question calmly.
“If you go down this road, you will reach Seokgajang.”
“Shakajang?”
“Yes. And if you go down further from there, you will reach Jeongju.”
“Oh, I see. Jeongju, Jeongju… Jeongju?”
Wi Yeon-ho opened his eyes wide and glared at Jang Il.
“Isn’t Jeongju next to Luoyang?”
"yes."
“Then if you go this way, you’ll come across Jeongmu Alliance.”
"yes."
“This guy is crazy!”
Wi Yeon-ho kicked Jang Il's butt.
Wi Yeon-ho swung his sword at Jang-il, who rolled on the floor making a noise.
“Hey, you crazy… No, you beggar! I’m running home to avoid going to Jeongmu League! You’re telling me to walk into Jeongmu League with my own feet! Have you lost your mind after breaking a few bowls?”
“There’s only one path, what can I do with it!”
“If there is no road, we must make one and go back!”
“Does that make sense!”
While watching Jang Il and Wi Yeon-ho fighting and swearing at each other, the others were talking calmly.
“What should I eat for lunch?”
“I think we’ll soon reach a town where we can rest, so I think we should decide there. We’ll need to decide whether to eat something and then leave, or whether to stay overnight.”
“I miss hot soup. I’m sick of jerky.”
“Amitabha.”
Since it was something that happened repeatedly when I was bored, I wasn't particularly interested.
Since they set off on their journey, Jang-il and Wi Yeon-ho have been fighting like cats and mice. Wi Yeon-ho, who constantly harasses Jang-il, is Wi Yeon-ho, but Jang-il, who never backs down even when getting beaten, is also amazing.
“If that’s the case, why did you leave separately?”
“You said you’d go separately, so you came separately! Why are you asking others about what you did?”
“Then you should have stopped it!”
“Did you even say something? At least say something?”
“You should understand even if I don’t say anything! You have to say something to understand, that’s why you’re like this!”
“……I think this is something I heard from the beggar once?”
Jang Il groaned at Wi Yeon-ho's words that stimulated the wounds in his heart. Why do people in high positions all say such nonsense?
“You’ve become a sage, but now you’re talking like an old fart!”
“I’m originally an old fart.”
"……uh?"
“My master is the most stubborn of the bunch. He’s an old man, and I’ve been bullied by him for five years. It would be stranger if I didn’t become a old man myself.”
“If I had to pick one thing I regret most in my life, it would be not meeting your master.”
Everyone nodded at those words. And even Peng Do-geuk, who seemed completely unlikely to do so, added some excitement.
“And if I saw that guy getting beaten up there, I would die right then and there without any regrets.”
“What I'm saying is.”
Wi Yeon-ho said as if he was astonished when he heard that.
“Why do you keep telling me you want to see me get hit when I did something wrong?”
"oh my god……."
“Amitabha.”
“I think it’s a disease. Madam Jin, is it treatable?”
“It’s difficult. It’ll be difficult even if Hwa-ta comes back.”
Wei Yanho protested as if he was being unfairly criticized.
“How well I did!”
“I think the meaning is a little different?”
“It is common for even tyrants to think of themselves as good kings.”
“It would be an exaggeration to call him a tyrant.”
Wei Yanhu sighed softly. Only Wei Shanhu patted his shoulder as if he understood everything.
“So in the end, you have no choice but to pass by Jeongmu Alliance?”
"yes."
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Wi Yeon-ho's face hardened.
“Break through as fast as possible! Rotten Jeongmu Alliance.”
***
The new detective looked around the room with a very proud face.
'Ah, this is how it should be.'
Looking at the leaders of each faction filling the conference room, I felt proud. In the past, this was a natural phenomenon. It was a time when it was natural for the Jeongmu Alliance to stand at the forefront of the political factions and lead everyone.
Of course, it is still lacking compared to back then, but even this much is a great achievement.
At least, didn't the old faction achieve the desired result just by responding to the call for a political alliance?

“Now that we’ve gathered all these people, how about we start talking, soldier?”
“Ahem, sorry. I got distracted for a moment.”
I got scolded, but it was still good.
“I believe that sending a secret message means that it is not an ordinary matter.”
It was a subtle threat that he would not tolerate it if it was nothing serious. However, Shin Gi-su was not angry at all at such a threat. This was because they had ignored the enemy's orders more than once or twice.
The fact that he responded to the summons of the enemy while expressing his dissatisfaction meant that the position of the Jeongmu Alliance had risen to that extent.
'And that also means that the timing is just as confusing.'
What happened at the volcano made everyone realize that the Demonic Cult was once again targeting the martial arts world. And who were the people active there?
Shin Gi-su wanted to give Wei Yan-ho a big reward if he could. He was a troublesome guy who made his stomach hurt just thinking about him, but it was also true that he had raised the status of Jeongmu-maeng by a great deal.
The new detective glanced around, made eye contact with everyone, and slowly opened his mouth.
Never rush.
“According to intelligence, the Demonic Cult is on the move.”
“The devil!”
The ripple effect that the name of the Demonic Cult had was certainly enormous. Just by mentioning the name, the atmosphere in the conference room heated up rapidly. If you think about the faces of those present, you can see how intense the reaction was.
“Those guys……”
“But this isn’t anything new. They already showed up at the volcano in the first place.”
“I almost made a big sacrifice.”
The new investigator shook his head.
“The bishop has come out.”
“…….”
This time there was silence.
The words Bishop of the Demonic Cult made even the elders of the old sect freeze. That was how much weight the name carried.
In the Demonic Cult, bishops were completely different from the elders of ordinary sects. If the elders were simply honorary positions that could be obtained through distribution and natural military strength, the bishops of the Demonic Cult were literally positions that only the strongest demons in the Demonic Cult could obtain.
Doesn't the fact that they have risen to the position of bishop in the Demonic Cult, where strength is truth and strength represents everything, speak to their strength?
“Is this information certain?”
The new investigator nodded.
“The sacrifices made by the Jeongmu Alliance to push informants into the Demonic Cult are by no means small.”
On the surface, it was a statement that emphasized, "Information obtained through such sacrifice cannot be wrong," but in reality, it was a statement that emphasized the meaning, "While you were playing, we prepared for the future of Gangho while making many sacrifices."
There were coughs here and there.
There was no one here who could not read the hidden meaning in the words of the new detective. It was a cold, hard fact that made me feel uncomfortable, but I could not resist it.
In order to escape the influence of the Political Alliance, they have been deliberately rejecting the Political Alliance. In the meantime, it was embarrassing for them to have to rely on the Political Alliance for such important information.
“Ahem.”
The volcano's blue dragon coughed loudly and opened its mouth.
“Since the rise of the Demonic Cult, the old faction has not been able to provide much help to the Jeongmu Alliance, but you have planted an informant even within the Demonic Cult. We are extremely ashamed.”
“Don’t worry. Isn’t it all for the peace of the world?”
Hwasan, who had received great help from Jeongmu Alliance at the Hwasan branch office, could not help but speak up. The other elders’ uncomfortable gazes turned to Cheongyeongja, but Cheongyeongja slightly turned her head away from their gaze.
'When things turn out like this, you have no choice but to join hands with Jeongmu-myeong, but you still have pride in it.'
It was a shameful thing for Cheongyeongja to discuss the independence of the old faction with those who didn't even know what real profit was.
“Amitabha.”
The one who cleared up the slightly confused crowd was Shaolin's Hyejeong Daesa.
"soldier."
“Yes, Ambassador.”
“The fact that the Demonic Cult’s bishop has come out to the world of martial arts… can I take that to mean that the Demonic Cult has started an all-out war?”
“It’s not clear yet.”
“The bishops of the Demonic Cult are not beings who can move so easily.”
“Of course, but…….”
The new investigator's words trailed off slightly.
Certainly, it was not common for a bishop to move. In the past, didn't wars become more intense several times when a bishop appeared at the forefront?
“To be honest, I also have doubts about that part. The bishop has clearly moved, but the demonic cult has not moved.”
“That means something important is happening that requires the bishop to make a separate trip to Gangho.”
“I think so too.”
“Hmm…….”
Ambassador Hyejeong's face darkened.
'This is something that the bishop should take on alone… … .'
Perhaps it was something more important than moving the entire Demonic Cult.
“Do you have any countermeasures?”
“……I am helpless.”
“I am helpless…….”
The new detective nodded heavily and said.
“I have obtained information that the bishop has left the Demonic Cult, but I have no idea where or how he is going. Since I cannot protect all of this vast world, it is difficult to prepare beyond issuing a warning.”
“Ugh.”
It was something that a military man of the Jeongmu Alliance should not say, but it was something that could not be helped. How could one be wary of one person in this vast world?
It was more difficult than finding one grain of sand in the desert.
“Do you have no idea what the purpose is?”
"……sorry."
Ambassador Hyejeong closed her eyes and recited the Bulho.
“I don’t know the purpose, and I don’t know the movement. All I know is that the bishop of the Demonic Cult is heading to the world of martial arts.”
“I'm sorry.”
“No. Just by finding out about it, you can imagine how hard it must have been for the military. While we were committing shameful acts, Jeongmu-maeng alone protected the world.”
Hearing Ambassador Hye-jeong’s words, Shin-gi-su-sa felt as if all his hardships had been compensated. Although he was a senior officer, Hye-jeong of Shaolin had more influence than the senior officer of any other sect.
Such a person acknowledged the achievements of Jeongmu Alliance.
“But I heard that there was a kid who made a big contribution in this volcanic area?”
Detective Shinki suppressed a bitter smile as he watched Hyejeong ask questions in a suspicious manner.
In fact, wasn't Shaolin one of the first sects to understand Wei Yanhu? Mentioning something that was already obvious meant that he was setting the stage for the elders of the old sect.
Shin Gi-su nodded at Hye-jeong's reaction, which seemed to indicate that she would not miss the appearance of an experienced martial artist even though she was following the law.
'If you set the stage, I'll have to dance properly.'
The new detective opened his mouth with a light smile.
“Yes, my name is Wei Yanhao. He is the son of Zheng He Jian Wei Zheng Han. He has done a great job in this Huashan Branch.”
Then I felt slightly cold gazes.
“Isn’t that an exaggeration?”
As expected, the new detective wet his lips at the stabbing reaction.
Perhaps the dance he has to do this time will be the sword dance.
