Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 48

The Wind Blows (3)

Yeonwi brought Yeonhojeong to the front of his residence.

Yeonwi, who had not said a word all the way here, finally opened her mouth.

“Is it heavy?”

Yeon Ho-jeong raised the axe.

“It’s good because it’s heavy.”

“I thought so.”

Yeon Ho-jeong wanted to say thank you. But before that, Yeonwi opened her mouth.

“I have something I want to ask.”

“yes?”

It didn’t seem like a light question. Yeonwi could not easily continue speaking.

But it was a question that had to be asked anyway. Yeonwi asked as if he had made up his mind.

“Are you planning on getting married?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.

“Marriage?”

“Yes.”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

I don’t know why you’re asking this question, but Yeon Ho-jeong answered honestly.

“I don’t plan on doing that yet.”

“I see.”

“Why are you doing this? “Have you found a good marriage partner?”

“We didn’t send any hawks. “I just wanted to ask your opinion.”

“I have no intention of getting married right away, but wouldn’t it be important to know who the partner is?”

Yeonwi, who was silent for a moment, spoke.

“What about the Moyong family?”

Yeon Ho-jeong was inwardly surprised.

“Is that Mo Yong-se?”

“Yes.”

“Uh…”

Yeon Ho-jeong was rarely embarrassed.

“Who is called Moyongse?”

“It turns out that I also participated in this review index meeting. “My name is Moyong Yeonhwa, and she is the daughter of the current family head.”

For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

‘Moyong Yeonhwa?’

Moyong Yeonhwa.

As the daughter of Prince Moyong, the head of the family at the time, she was recognized for her outstanding abilities even at a young age and was known to be involved in the family’s affairs.

‘I never thought you would mention Moyong Yeonhwa.’

Mo Yong Yeon Hwa was also someone he had bumped into countless times in the past during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.

Prince Moyong, who was the Murim lord at the time, did not have the spirit to care about his family. So, someone was needed to act as the head of the household.

Surprisingly, what he chose was not his sons, but his daughter, Mo Yong-yeon-hwa.

Moyong Yeonhwa’s abilities were outstanding enough to entrust her with a family as large as Mo Yong Se’s. She inherited her father’s blood and was also a resourceful person who increased the size of the Moyong family by more than 30% in just a few years.

Of course, his martial arts talent was also outstanding. He even taught his vision to his daughter, who did not carry on the family line, so he said everything.

“They say that child’s talent is exceptional in many ways. “You know because you saw it at the meeting.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Of course, I think character is more important than talent or ability. “After listening carefully, I heard that his personality is also beyond reproach.”

Could that be possible?

Yeon Ho-jeong remembered Mo Yong-yeon-hwa’s venomous eyes. This was not the case of Mo Yong-yeonhwa in her current life, but the case of Mo Yong-yeonhwa during the time of Emperor Heukam.

Nature is important, but environment is also important. It only takes one event to change a person’s personality and values.

However, it would be difficult to say that Moyong Yeonhwa’s nature is good if she is pampered by Prince Moyong. Yeon Ho-jeong thought so.

“sorry. “I have no intention of getting married yet.”

Surprisingly, Yeonwi did not express any regrets.

“I get it. Actually, there is a reason why I couldn’t say it easily. As the times change, there are many people who get married without ever seeing each other, but I am opposed to such marriages.”

“Is that so?”

“This is someone I will live with for the rest of my life. “It is important to make a name for your family, but protecting the happiness of your people is just as important.”

“….”

“If I find a wife I like in the future, I don’t want to have to worry about that person’s family.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Did you love your mother?”

It was a somewhat mischievous question. It was also a question intended to lighten the mood.

“I loved you more than my own life.”

“…!”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.

Yeonwi said with a nonchalant expression.

“You have no idea how sad I was the day your mother died. It felt like the sky was falling. “I don’t know how many times I pointed a sword at his neck to kill him.”

“….”

“But sometimes living can be more painful than dying. This father has always lived with that feeling. “My sins were too great to go with your mother.”

“Father, what sin did you commit?”

“The crime of not protecting my people.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“It’s not your fault.”

Yeonwi did not agree with his son’s words. But he didn’t even refute it. It would be difficult for anyone to know one’s feelings anyway.

However, I really wanted to say this.

“I have sinned against you too.”

“father?”

“All parents have the same desire for their children to do well. “But I was only harsh with you.”

“That’s not a sin either.”

“tighten. “Because I saw you as the successor to the family, not as my child.”

“….”

“You are disqualified both as a husband and as a father. So I am a sinner.”

I now have the courage to say to my eldest son the words that I had buried in my heart day after day and was worried I would be able to say before I die.

Yeon Ho-jeong was not upset when she heard that her father viewed her as a successor rather than a child. Confessing such feelings meant that his father thought of him as his child.

Of course, I could fully feel that without confessing it.

Yeonwi shook his head.

“Anyway, if that’s how you feel, I’ll pretend this marriage never happened.”

“yes.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was nodding his head with a bitter expression, suddenly had a strange thought.

“father.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“But why is it Moyongse?”

“hmm?”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“I’m wondering why you mentioned the Moyong family rather than another family of the Seven Great Families.”

Yeonwi’s eyes deepened.

“So, I haven’t told you yet.”

“What?”

“Half a year ago, when you and Jipyeong went to participate in the late index meeting, we received a call from the Moyong family.”

“Contact me?”

“The question was whether you would like to do business together.”

“You mean business?”

“okay. We control 70 percent of Jiangsu Province’s maritime trade rights. It seems like the Moyong family is also greedy for the trading business.”

“…!”

You said you got a call from Moyong Sega first? Why at this point?

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sank coldly.

“Do you want to join us?”

Yeonwi shook his head.

“I said no twice. But they contacted me again. “This appears to be the last proposal, so I plan to consider it carefully.”

Moyongse maritime trade.

And the invasion of the famous family.

Although there seemed to be no connection at all, I felt a strange sense of discomfort.

‘I don’t know how the famous family fell in the past. All I know is that the downfall occurred in an instant. And the fall of the famous family occurred not long after the main family disappeared.’

And as time passed, Prince Moyong ascended to the throne of the Murim lord.

In this way, the Moyong family became the greatest family in the world.

‘There is not enough information. ‘It’s not enough…’

Yeon Ho-jeong asked again.

“Can I ask you one more question?”

“okay.”

“Even if my father had planned to join hands with the Mo Yong family, he would not have thought of marrying me to a member of that family.”

“hmm.”

“Who recommended it?”

“This is Commander-in-Chief Taekyung.”

“…!!”

Yeonwi added while looking at her son’s unusual expression.

“He is the commander-in-chief. Regardless of the reason, I think about things that will benefit my family. “You rejected it anyway, so don’t look too bad at him.”

“yes? “Oh yes.”

It wasn’t because of a mixed marriage.

Yeon Ho-jeong thought of Tae-kyung. At the age of less than 40, he manages the family’s finances with a dull expression and no presence.

‘I was having doubts. There must be a traitor within the family.’

My father’s insight is outstanding. He was not an easy person to place someone with different feelings in the position of head of the family.

However, just as he showed me a moment ago, my father was also human. People can make mistakes. Furthermore, if the other person is thoroughly deceiving themselves, it is not easy to find out unless you decide to dig deep.

“father.”

“Speak.”

“Please postpone the business training with Moyong Segawa for a while.”

“hmm?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

“I need to find out something.”

* * *

“Huh?!”

Taekyung was startled.

“I’m sorry. “He suddenly came to me late at night.”

“Gasp! “Oh no!”

“I stopped by because the light was on. “Did I disturb you?”

“Is that possible? Now, please sit here.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, sitting on a chair, looked around the room.

“Now that I think about it, it seems like this is my first time coming to the Governor General’s office.”

“Haha, that’s right. “No one came to visit except the head of the family and the subordinates.”

Taekyung got into the car in an instant.

“Now, please eat.”

“Thank you.”

After taking a sip of tea, Yeon Ho-jeong asked vaguely.

“Anyway, are you at work?”

“That’s right. You never know what kind of natural disaster will happen this year, right? “I need to figure out a budget soon.”

There were many people in Jiangsu Province who suffered from floods every year. Every year, Yeonga worked hard to ensure the safety of people’s lives by giving money to flood victims.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Haha, is there any trouble? “I’m already receiving a lot of monthly salary, but I need to at least get my money’s worth.”

The smiling face was very bright.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Tae-kyung in confusion, suddenly asked.

“I heard you mentioned marriage.”

“Huh?!”

Taekyung shrank his neck.

“Eh… that.”

“….”

“…Have you heard from the head of the family?”

“exactly.”

Taekyung cleared his throat.

“What can I say? I’m just saying this for the prosperity of Yeonga, but…”

“…”

“I’m sorry if you felt bad.”

He was a strange person.

He goes back and forth from someone who is immaculate and pure to someone who is timid and timid.

He was the type of person commonly seen in rivers and lakes. It was possible because the atmosphere of the love story was so stiff.

Yeon Ho-jeong relaxed his expression.

“I didn’t feel bad. “I’ve seen it at a small gathering called Moyong Yeonhwa.”

“ah?!”

“There is no shortage of the word talented woman. “In fact, I felt like he was too much for me.”

Taekyung said in embarrassment.

“Aye! How could that be! The Grand Duke is the eldest son of the Yan family! “She would be better than the eldest daughter of the Moyong family. She has nothing to fall back on.”

“Haha, is that right?”

“sure! “Trust me.”

“I believe it. “Don’t believe it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong continued calmly.

“But what can I do? “I have no intention of getting married right away.”

“Ah…”

“I can’t do anything if it helps the family, but I don’t think this is right.”

“Ahaha, I can’t help it. “If the Grand Duke doesn’t like it…”

“It’s because Moyong Sojeo is so outstanding.”

“yes?”

Yeon Ho-jeong leaned back in his chair with a sad expression. It was a somewhat arrogant attitude.

“I still have eyes for people. I saw Moyong Soje at the meeting and she was not a woman worthy of serving Jiabi. “I wouldn’t know if they actually caught and ate it.”

“Is that so?”

“For someone so talented, I’ve never seen anyone who truly cares for others.”

Taekyung scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“sorry. “I came forward for no reason…”

“Well, I don’t know if it’s someone else.”

“yes?”

“Other than your blood relatives, Lord Moyong, do you have any other wives in the Moyong family? “She lacks ability, but she has a good personality and is a direct descendant.”

Taekyung’s eyes sparkled.

“What do you mean?”

“Anyway, you have to get married at least once. If that’s the case, wouldn’t a true person be better? Besides, if I help the family, my father won’t look at me differently.”

“The head of the family is still treating the Archduke….”

“Let’s be honest. I was lucky and my martial arts skills improved, but my father has been watching me for the past 19 years. “I guess he chose my younger brother to be the head of Soga rather than me.”

Taekyung didn’t know what to do.

Yeon Ho-jeong said quietly.

“Let’s ask the Commander-in-Chief a favor.”

“…Please?”

“Tell your father well. “I want you to make someone other than Moyong Yeonhwa your daughter-in-law.”

“My me?!”

“Oh, of course it has to be off-white.”

“….”

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up. Taekyung also stood up in an awkward posture.

“General Tae. Isn’t the General Manager also in his prime? “The future is so bright, but you have to hold the line well to succeed, right?”

“…Oh yes.”

“Let’s live well together. “I would like to ask you a favor.”

Taekyung lowered his head.

He lowered his head and spoke with cold eyes but a frightened voice.

“If you do that…I will only trust you, Grand Duke.”

Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.

“Okay, let’s just trust me.”
