Reclaiming History (8)
“What?”
Kang Ryang asked in surprise.
“You’re leaving the Murim Alliance altogether?”
Yeon Ho-jeong silently drank his glass.
Beom-oh was not surprised because he had seen and heard what was going on, and Sima-hyeon looked relaxed, thinking it was okay.
Jinyang also tilted his glass without any sign of surprise.
Kang Liang asked Jin Yang.
“Did you know?”
“I guessed it.”
“how?”
“Because my head doesn’t turn as much as the captain. “It was just a feeling.”
“What on earth did you feel…”
“I guess I should say I felt a bit out of place.”
Jinyang’s face, as he put down his glass, was very serious, unlike usual.
“Black and white cannot be combined. At least that’s the case for now. “There is so much deep-rooted hatred and anger built up between the two that it dates back hundreds or even thousands of years.”
“I know that.”
“No, you won’t know. No one here can know. I’m just vaguely thinking about it. “The depth is unknown only to those who have lived for a thousand years.”
Jinyang’s serious appearance, which is rare.
Kang Ryang’s mouth suddenly closed.
“Positive emotions can turn into negative emotions in an instant. That’s what it’s like between people. But it takes a long time for negative emotions to turn positive. There is a gulf of a thousand years between black and white. “It is not an easy goal that can easily be overcome even if an enemy invades.”
Jinyang, despite his natural talent, longed to be with everyone.
His life was bleak and messy as he was ostracized by people simply for his appearance and grew up with a dark heart for a long time.
However, in the meantime, he did not cross the minimum line, met new relationships, and began to realize his potential.
At least there is no one here who does not understand the bright and dark sides of humanity. However, Jinyang was a person who directly or indirectly opposed the White Islands by establishing the Black Islands faction on his own.
Unless you are at the level of Yeonhojeong, you cannot follow Jinyang’s enlightenment.
Because he was such a person, Jinyang’s words had strong persuasive power.
“Actually, I think it’s amazing that we’ve improved that much. That’s probably why the power of the Three Religions is so scary. However, a clumsy alliance can lead to fatal conflict. “The captain’s decision to leave the Murim Alliance is extremely reasonable.”
Jinyang chuckled.
“That is the reason why our Hwaung clan never wanted to become entangled with the Baekdo clan. “I’m dying because of the opening.”
Kang Ryang looked at Jin Yang with new eyes.
Although there were times when we were complacent and busy playing around and building a wall away from development, the head of an organization who had run an organization seemed to be different no matter what.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Jin Yang is right. “I saw between black and white too easily.”
“But…”
Kang-ryang asked seriously.
“I’m sure you’re not planning to end our alliance, are you?”
“You can’t do that. Even if I break it off, it’s a problem I can’t step in and break it off. “This is an issue that must be decided carefully after a meeting of the heads of each organization.”

“Of course.”
“However, not much has changed in the meantime. “There was only an abstract agreement, such as a simple collaborative relationship and not invading each other’s territory.”
Sima Xuan said bluntly.
“What did the heads of the biggest organization in the martial arts world do without even checking that?”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“We trusted each other so much and we were each so busy.”
“But the leader shouldn’t have done that.”
“You are right.”
Since he admitted it so plainly, even Sima Xuan had nothing to say.
Yeon Hao-jeong looked at Sima Hyeon with puzzled eyes.
“By the way, have you cleaned everything up?”
“I don’t know to what extent this is called organizing.”
Sima Xuan put down his glass and said.
“I am operating a military unit.”
“….”
“Don’t worry. “I have never killed a civilian or received a request.”
“Hmm. “It must have cost a lot of money.”
“There is quite a bit of money left over from killing the enemy and secretly stealing it. “For the next 20 years, I can just train and make a living.”
Yeon Hao-jeong, who was quietly watching Sima Hyeon, smiled.
“Are you interested in joining us?”
“I don’t know.”
The answer was immediate.
You may be hesitant due to his personality, but the answer comes out easier than you think. Yeon Ho-jeong saw positive possibilities in that attitude as well.
“Honestly, we are the only ones capable of killing people. But I really can’t just sit around for 20 years, so I have to do something, but I haven’t made up my mind what I’m going to do yet.”
“Aren’t you joining the three religions?”
Although it was said as a joke, Sima Hyun’s reaction was serious.
“If you want to join the three religions, it is better to bite your sword and fall.”
His master and enemy was from the Saeum Church.
As for Sima Xuan, even if he was beaten to death, he would not be able to convert to the Three Schools.
“What are the members’ personal details?”
Only then did Sima Xuan hesitate.
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“why? Are you a criminal or something? If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. Just keep your head straight…”
“They are orphans.”
“….”
“I took people who had nowhere to go and raised them. “Actually, there weren’t many people who wanted to come.”
If someone else had taken in an orphan and raised it, the issue would have been raised openly.
However, Yeon Hao-jeong could guess from Sima Hyeon’s expression that the orphans he had brought in were really children who had nowhere to go.
And that he saw a reflection of Sima Hyeon himself in those children.
“Other than that, the bridgeheads are the ones who joined hands with me during the Guangdong incident.”
“How many people in total?”
“Three hundred and ten, including the trainees.”
Three hundred and ten.
If it was a small number, it was a small number, but if it was a lot, it was a large number.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked seriously.
“You probably don’t know what it means to put a knife in a child’s hand.”
“So we only got the kids we wanted. “For those who wouldn’t join us, we gave them some money and sent them away.”
“Are you planning on raising him to be a warrior?”
Sima Xuan sighed and confessed.
“Honestly, I had no intention of raising him to be an assassin. I just hoped that I wouldn’t have to go somewhere and get beaten up. But before I knew it, I was teaching them how to live by saying that what they learned was stealing.”
“I see.”
“These are guys who have never played in real life. “There was no time to pass on the vision, so it was just a little bit of practical cutting.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Are you planning on releasing them into the world?”
“If you want.”
Has Sima County changed much?
Yes. He too has changed a lot.
Although it has changed, its nature has not changed. From the beginning, Sima Xuan was this kind of person. Although he was an assassin with a natural talent, he was a person who did not kill anyone and did not treat orphans without parents carelessly.
“Well, monk Beom-o was next to me, so I guess he didn’t do anything stupid.”
Beom-oh said with a smile.
“As a result of observing him for so long, his affection and trust for the children was remarkable. “I almost treated them like my own children.”
“What about biological children?”
Even though he said that, it was really nice to see Sima Hyun filling his empty glass while clearing his throat as if he was embarrassed.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked directly.
“Are you going to join us?”
Sima Hyeon’s hand that was filling the glass stopped.
Sima Hyun’s face turned serious once again as he looked at Yeon Hao-jeong.
“Are you going to fight on the front lines with the Three Religions?”
“Nothing can be guaranteed in war, but I always fought like that. And….”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Jinyang and Kangryang.
“So did my colleagues.”
“then.”
Sima Xuan nodded.
“I will join you.”
It was a simpler and more refreshing answer than expected.
In fact, he had already decided to be with Yeon Ho-jeong when the situation came. At the time of joining, I didn’t have time to talk because things were complicated, but once I made up my mind, there was no need for complicated procedures.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“I’d like to ask you to take care of me too.”
They were two people who had a connection from the beginning.
They knew each other before their return, and after their return, they later avenged their enemies with the strongest assassin who was said to be competing for the best in the world and all times.
The thread of a relationship can break at any time. However, when one thread is broken, another thread connects, which is fate.
It was as if it was destined to continue that way from the beginning.
Sima Xuan entrusted himself to the blood path that the former Dark Dark Emperor of his time would walk.
* * *
two days later.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who entered the small building right in front of Maengjubu at the back of the square, was fully dressed.
Are they trying to prove their identity through clothing? His appearance, clad in black military uniform and also with black war camouflage, resembled that of someone about to go to war at any moment.
The black and white twin dragons were firmly fixed to the left and right waists, and the now familiar Gyoryongsae, as if they were one body, were wrapped tightly inside the uniform and played the role of armor.
The appearance of Yeon Ho-jeong, who had completely completed the bath, was truly dazzling. As a small owner of an organization, there is nothing lacking. On the contrary, even at that young age, he displayed a strong dignity and restrained prayer that made him seem like the head of a huge organization.
I quietly looked out the window for a while.
“Yeonje.”
Before I knew it, Mo Yong-woo had entered the room.
“Are you here?”
“okay.”
Mo Yong-woo sighed and said.
“It looks like preparations are complete.”
“okay.”
“Let me ask you just one question.”
Mo Yong-woo said with a dark face.
“As long as the alliance is not broken, black and white will not be enemies until the war with the three religions is over. Right?”
“of course.”
“Then there is no reason for you to leave the Murim Alliance.”
It wasn’t just something I was trying to say.
Sadness is sadness and reality is reality. Mo Yong-woo’s question included the question of how much of a repercussion this situation would cause.
Yeon Ho-jeong liked Mo Yong-woo like that.
Mo Yong-woo is even more thirsty for learning than when I first met him. The relationship between the two people, who joined hands for one goal but eventually developed into a personal relationship, was so deep that it could be considered a relationship bound by loyalty.
It wouldn’t be easy to show a willingness to learn from even his younger brother.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“Somehow, it looked like he was being pushed out, but in reality, the incident was sparked by Sejak’s instigation of public opinion, and after that, everything was handled properly and quietened down.”
“okay. yes.”
“From the moment public opinion was agitated, we had no choice but to reach the result that Sejak wanted. “If I continue to stick to the Murim Alliance after this incident, the atmosphere in the Baekdo faction will become very chaotic.”
“Wouldn’t that just be corrected at the top? “It won’t be easy, though.”
“Now is not the time to worry about such things. It is time to become more united and show stronger organizational skills. War is not far away.”
“….”
“If I were here, there would be many political figures who would bow their heads and feel defeated. Furthermore, time is bound to give the gift of forgetfulness. “This could happen again.”
“But…”
“At the same time, this incident will also be forgotten sooner or later. “With the abilities of the leader and the soldier, it will be possible to use this incident as a stepping stone to truly unite the Murim Alliance.”
“So you are going?”
“That’s the biggest reason. Also, since Master is in the imperial palace, it is highly likely that the Black Sword has also become loose. “It would be better to leave quickly to make things right.”
Mo Yong-woo nodded heavily.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and lightly massaged his shoulder.
“Let’s go.”
“I will guide you.”
“great.”
So the two people left the building.
In the central square beyond the building, countless warriors were gathered.
