Taejonbirok Volume 7 Episode 17
Chapter 46: Lazy Man, Teaching (2)
“……Is that all true?”
"yes."
Gong Mu-jin now felt more at ease.
I don't know how many times I've said this, but I've always been met with the same reaction.
Even the supreme leader of the Jeongwu Alliance, Quan Ji (拳極) Sima Qianshi (司馬天世), who would normally not dare to make eye contact, had the same reaction as those who had heard these words.
“At that age?”
"yes."
"therefore……."
It's not a crowd.
Gongmujin understood Sima Qianshi's reaction. If he had heard about Wei Yanhu's actions somewhere, he would have reacted the same way.
When I see that expression that makes me think, 'This kid seems to be joking right now, but he's not without a reputation, so I don't think he's joking… … Should I believe this or not?', I can feel a sense of satisfaction that making the name Plum Blossom Sword Ghost known wasn't in vain.
“Hmm, so that kid named Wi Yeon-ho… has mastered an unknown martial art, but it’s hard to guess his level.”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever mixed hands with him?”
"yes."
Sima Qianse asked, seeming interested in Gongmujin's answer.
“What do you think? Are you really unable to guess where the end is with your level?”
“Yes.”
“But you must have also exchanged swords with other strong men. If it’s a volcano, there must be more than one or two who have reached the highest level. Aren’t there swordsmen who rule the world? It’s not like you haven’t exchanged swords with them, right?”
“……I’ll be honest with you.”
“Would you do that?”
Gong Mu-jin sighed deeply.
In a way, it was no different from embarrassing a monk, so I didn't want to say it if possible. However, it was also impolite to hold back words when the leader of the political faction and the military were waiting for him.
“I also exchanged swords with Elder Swordsman, but it didn’t feel as distant as when I fought him. Maybe it was because my realm was short, but…….”
Inspection.
The ripples those words brought were huge.
'Is this beyond the inspection?'
Sima Qianse simply could not believe those words.
Who is the swordsman? He is the true best swordsman in Hwasan and the one who competes for the best swordsman in the world at the time.
Isn't he the one who is chosen as one of the three greatest swordsmen in the world along with the Taegeuk Jinin of the shaman and the Emperor Sword of Namgung? A realm beyond that of a sword master.
“Did you eat the whole ginseng field?”
Although he said that, Sima Qianse also knew that it was not something that could be done simply because one had high internal energy. It was such an absurd and nonsensical thing that he just said it.
“At that age, that’s how you get to that level.”
'I'm sick of hearing that now.'
Well, that's true.
It's natural to have such a reaction.
If we must argue, we should not argue with those who show the same reaction, but with Wi Yeon-ho, who ignores their tendencies and personalities and makes them show the same reaction.
“How do you compare to me?”
“……I dare not compare.”
“Umm…….”
Gong Mu-jin said that there was no comparison, but it was as good as hearing the answer.
“Hahaha. This guy, hey …
It would be unpleasant to hear that his junior, who was in his prime, had accumulated a reputation comparable to his own, but Sima Qianshi, who was very fond of Wi Jeonghan, simply smiled like a father and was happy.
“So what is that kid named Wi Yeon-ho doing now?”
“……We are selling emergency supplies at the main gate.”
"huh?"
Jo Hyun sighed as he watched Sima Qianshi ask back with an absurd expression and began to explain the situation.
Sima Qianshi, who had been listening to the story for a long time with his expression changing several times, asked with a bewildered face.
“Is that, is that not a problem?”
“I thought about it a lot, but I don’t think there will be any problem.”
“But, doing the notarization in our name is…….”
“It is certain that the secret came from the secret cave. Since the Geomhwangjibo does not refer to the secret left behind by Geomhwang, but rather to the secret from the secret cave named Geomhwangbidong, it is not difficult to notarize the exact fact.”
“Hmm, I see.”
"furthermore……."
Jo Hyun smiled brightly.
“He is definitely a child who will become the center of the gang. It is not a bad idea to create some kind of contact with him. If possible, I would like to spend a lot of money to keep him for a while and get to know him.”
“Is that all?”
“Even if only a tenth of what you heard now is true, you will be the best in the world in the future.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Sima Qianse laughed heartily.
“Even the Sword of the Mages, the Sanho, is a talent who can aim for the best in the world, but his younger brother is even better… Shouldn’t we now call the Guangdong Wei family the best in the world?”
“Right now, their power is weak and they can’t be placed before Namgung’s name, but if Wisanho and Wiyeonho grow, the name of the Wei clan, the best in the world, will spread within ten years.”
“Good, that’s good.”

Sima Qianse smiled happily.
“Okay. So what are you going to do now, soldier?”
Jo Hyun said with a smile.
“In return for letting me do business, I agreed to serve as an instructor at Jamryongmuwon for a while.”
“Instructor?”
Sima Qianse asked as if he couldn't understand.
“I understand that it hasn’t been long since Wisanho graduated from Jamryongmu-gwan, so you’re saying that Wiyeonho will be sent as an instructor? I don’t think his age is that different from the kids who are currently training.”
“That’s what’s important.”
"that is?"
Jo Hyun began to explain slowly.
“The child named Wi Yeon-ho will lead the world of martial arts in the future. However, it seems that he does not enjoy meeting others.”
“……Hmm, that’s a problem.”
Being the best in the world is a symbolic position. Being the strongest does not in itself bring any power. However, since the warriors are beings who pursue strength, that symbolism alone can sometimes exert an influence that shakes the world.
That is why the martial arts world was always in chaos during times when people with eccentric or evil natures could claim to be the best in the world.
So, it was necessary to get to know people of similar age to Wi Yeon-ho in advance.
Of course, the best thing would be to enter academia… … .
“It’s not a matter of age, but you can’t ask a child who is stronger than the instructor to enter the academy, right?”
“Yes. Besides, if the children who will become the driving force of the martial arts world can see Wei Yanhu and be inspired by him, or learn even a little bit of the secret to how he became so strong, it would be a good deal for us.”
“Hmm, indeed…….”
Sima Qianse did not know whether Cao Xuan’s calculations were right or wrong. However, as he had always done, he trusted Cao Xuan’s judgment. He had never suffered a loss by doing what Cao Xuan said.
Sima Qianse had no doubt that this time too, everything would go according to Jo Hyeon's intentions.
“……But didn’t you say you were doing emergency business?”
“Yes.”
“I heard you’re writing a book. How much do you think you’re selling it for?”
“It is said to be three nyang of gold.”
“Hmm…….”
Sima Qianse looked slightly embarrassed and averted his gaze.
“Then, don’t you think it wouldn’t be a bad idea for us to keep a copy?”
“……When selling to an individual, it costs three nyang, but when selling to a group, the amount is proportional to the number of people. Considering the number of people in the group, it is said that it should cost a thousand nyang.”
“Hey, a thousand nyang?”
A thousand nyangs of gold?
Was the annual operating cost of the Jeongmu Alliance a thousand nyang?
“So we settled on five hundred nyang.”
“Ugh…….”
It seemed like it would be absolutely necessary, but five hundred nyang was a bit pricey, and my heart was pounding.
“Then how much money is that kid making now?”
“I don’t know the details, but I know one thing.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If we continue like this for a month, even if we don’t know who the best in the world is, Guangdong Wei will become the wealthiest person in the world. He will be able to use gold for his dog food bowl.”
Sima Qianshi slowly lowered his head and looked at his own nameless clothes, then slowly raised his head again.
“Will Jeonghan take care of me?”
“…….”
* * *
The Jamryongmu-gwan started to stir at the notice posted in the morning.
“What, what does it say?”
“I heard the commander issued an official document?”
“Military? Are you saying that the military chief, Shin Gi-su, personally issued an official document to the military officer?”
It was only natural that the cadets' attention would be focused on this.
Even though they are the ones who will take responsibility for the future of Gangho, Shin Gi-su-sa Jo Hyeon is the second-in-command of the current Jeongmu Alliance. In fact, it was impossible for someone like that to pay attention to even the Jamryongmu-gwan.
No matter how important future generations are, the issues we face now are just as important.
Because of this, there were countless people who graduated from the Jamryongmuwon without ever seeing the faces of the political leader Sima Qianse or military leader Cao Xuan even after spending nearly ten years at the training center.
Since it was said that Jo Hyeon personally issued the official document, I couldn't help but be interested in its contents.
“What is it about? What is it about!”
“Just stay still and watch!”
The cadet, with his head stretched forward, frowned.
“I think a special instructor is coming?”
“Special instructor?”
“I heard that a new instructor is coming and they are taking applications for a new class that he will be teaching. It seems that there will be a lot of high-level discussions, so they are going to select the applicants through a screening process.”
“……Who on earth is coming!”
It was content that was bound to be surprising.
The Jamryongmu-gwan did not have a ranking system. Although there would be competition, anyone could apply for any class. Thanks to this, when it was time to apply, there were some people flying around the school in a light airship, which caused quite a scene.
However, this was the first time since the Jamryongmu-gwan was created that they were selecting people to take classes through evaluation.
“Well, who on earth is coming as an instructor?”
“Isn’t the military coming in person?”
“Hey, does that make sense! But it’s clear that he’s not an ordinary person!”
“I’ll apply! I can’t miss out on something like this!”
“I’ll do it too!”
Eonhyo watched the scene quietly and trembled.
“Why are you doing that?”
Eonhyo said in a slightly trembling voice at Pengdohyung's words.
“Hey, Peng Je.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Haven’t we already done all the soldering?”
“Yes, you did it very well.”
Even though they only care about the situation, they have also suffered a lot. However, like Wi Yeon-ho, they returned as blind men, so they did not receive any praise for their hardships and were buried in silence.
“But I don’t know why I feel so uneasy.”
“……I feel strange too.”
“Okay.”
Eonhyo shook his head.
“What are you going to do?”
“I have to apply.”
Unhyo's eyes burned.
Although he didn't show it outwardly, he was very shocked by Wei Yanhu. Although Shangguan Hong was half a step ahead of him, he thought that it was a difference that he could easily catch up with.
But then, out of nowhere, a monster called Wiyeonho appeared.
If you don't feel a sense of victory after seeing Wei Yanhu, who is younger than you and shows incomparable martial arts skills, then you are not a warrior!
“I must learn everything I can! There are monsters in my generation, so how could I turn down this opportunity!”
“That’s right! Brother!”
But they didn't know.
Who would have thought that the person who would come to teach them would be that monster.
That would be the beginning of their misfortune.
