< Episode 87 Infiltration (3) >
‘A bastard?’
-really?
At Namcheon Cheolgeom’s words, I slowly raised my head and looked at the bamboo feet.
The tent itself was so large that faint human figures could be seen between the gaps between the bamboo feet.
-It’s him! It must be him. Unhui!
Never before has Namcheon Cheolgeom shown such an angry reaction.
There are two people who just had a conversation.
It was a person who was presumed to be the emperor who had called himself a burden, and a person presumed to be a subject who responded to this.
‘It’s the former or the latter.’
-It’s the latter.
Are you saying that the emperor’s subjects are the one-eyed, golden-eyed lords?
A secret that has not been revealed until now has now been revealed.
-Are you from the imperial family?
That cannot be determined for sure yet.
I don’t even know how long Jonju lived.
If he has been living for a long time, it may not be because he was loyal to the imperial family, but because he was scheming behind the scenes.
-oh! Then, Jonju may have moved the emperor through a ruse.
That may be so.
He is the one who tried to move behind each force that could be said to be the axis of the martial arts world.
It cannot be guaranteed that someone with that level of boldness would never touch the imperial family.
At the moment, it is difficult to properly understand the situation because there are many variables, but what is certain is that if the voice heard by Namcheoncheolgeom is correct, he is inside right now.
I kept hearing voices from inside.
First, let’s listen.
“It is certain that something is approaching something, both the thing in the air that God saw and the unidentified master who attacked the prisoner transfer. your majesty.”
This time the voice was that of Pakungwi Chosa.
When I listen to the story, it seems like I didn’t really see myself in detail.
-That’s a good thing.
Be quiet.
Because I have to keep listening.
“If you are the leader of the Special Archers, then yes.”
The emperor responded as if in agreement.
But then a new voice was heard.
“But, Director Cho. Are you sure you saw it correctly? “Didn’t you find the arrow as well?”
I caught the arrow and calculated the angle at which it flew.
Without damaging any of it.
But,
‘…I’ve heard this voice many times before.’
It’s a deep, low-pitched voice, but it feels oddly familiar to my ears.
It feels like I’m hearing this for the first time, but it doesn’t seem like it is.
weird.
Don’t you think you’ve heard of it too?
-I think I heard it too.
-okay? I’m not sure.
While I was wondering, I heard the emperor’s voice.
“And again and again.” That’s right. Stop provoking Director Cho. With the left eye. Do you know how much he is glaring at you right now?”
-thud!
“I apologize. your majesty. “God couldn’t control his emotions at the moment.”
At the emperor’s urging, the sound of the emperor falling to his knees was heard, and Pakungwi Chosa was heard speaking as if in despair.
I don’t know who Zuo Si-rang is, but he seems to be someone that Chu Sa dislikes quite a bit.
Because he openly glared at me in front of the emperor.
However, for the emperor to mention it directly with his own mouth and say it as if he was telling his subjects, he seems to have a very strict personality.
“If it is 4 ri, the authenticity will be determined within two or three city examinations. your majesty.”
-It’s a guy.
Namcheoncheolgeom emphasized once again.
I must remember in my head that this person is a respected lord.
However, even though there are quite a few people in this place, I can’t hear Vigilante’s voice or any sign similar to him.
Unless he’s an idiot, he’ll hide himself, but it’s strange.
The legal instruments are clearly in here.
The emperor’s voice was heard again.
“It’s ancient. “If it’s true, this is the moment the Dragon and Tiger Golden Temple comes into my hands.”
‘Dragon Tiger Forbidden?’
For a moment I couldn’t believe my ears.
Dragon Tiger Geumdan is an elixir of longevity that can be prepared by Jeongyang Jinin.
The reason why Taoists were able to live young for so many years was because they took Yongho Geumdan in addition to the cultivation of water.
-So the emperor is aiming for the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden?
At first, I was skeptical.
But this made his goal more precise.

Coincidentally, the direction they were marching in was not a coincidence, but the place they were heading to was really a fuse.
‘……what?’
Something was different from what I expected.
Revealing the location of Yongho Geumdan and Dohwaseon was beyond betrayal.
From what I heard, I thought he had infiltrated this place to deal with the emperor for the sake of the people’s livelihood, but I had no idea that he would have released this information.
-Isn’t it attached to the emperor?
Maybe so.
Telling the worst tyrant the location of the elixir of longevity.
It is truly a proper half-bone.
Fortunately, there was an error in the vigilante’s calculation of the time when the fuse stayed.
If only two or three o’clock had been earlier, the imperial army would have reached the foggy forest.
‘The teacher got the wrong disciple.’
Even though he did such a thing, Master Geomseon wanted to make him repent.
But at this level, he deserves to be killed.
He was a person who would be harmful to the fuse.
-Are you going to kill me?
‘Depending on the situation.’
It’s unfortunate news for him, but I’m not a Taoist.
It is right to kill someone who will be harmed later.
Then the emperor’s voice was heard.
“You kept the general waiting for a long time. Stop by.”
“yeah.”
A harsh, nasal voice was heard from the entrance.
I think it’s probably an internal investigation.
However, seeing that the sincerity in his voice is unusual, he must be that famous classmate.
-What is an alumni?
They are internal officers who have learned martial arts.
These people are called eunuchs, and they are officials who serve the emperor by his side.
However, because they stayed so close together, they all had to be castrated for the emperor.
-You cut that part?
okay.
In the palace where the emperor resides, no one except him must be male.
This is because all the court ladies in the imperial palace are the emperor’s prospective brides and women.
Anyway, I heard that those internal officers called alumni learn martial arts because they also serve as bodyguards by the emperor’s side.
-This place is full of experts.
That’s right.
At that time, the bamboo feet were lifted upwards.
In front of him, a bare-faced middle-aged man without even a trace of beard, wearing a blue official uniform and hunched over, appeared.
The person who was presumed to be a classmate knelt down and spoke to us who were bowing our heads.
“This is Your Majesty’s order. General and generals, please come inside.”
“General Shin Anti-Mugi, I obey the emperor’s orders.”
Following the general’s answer, General Yeom and I also answered.
“I follow your orders.”
With this, everyone got up, walked through the rolled up bamboo feet, and went inside.
At this moment, my eyes quickly searched inside.
Although he had his head down because he was not allowed to look into the emperor’s eyes, it was not that difficult to look around.
‘Jagyeongjeong….Jonju….’
Where are they?
As I looked around, I couldn’t help but notice this.
Now that I think about it, I didn’t even think about it because I was let in so casually, but everyone in the tent had weapons.
Even if you dismiss it as a war situation, you cannot carry the military flag next to the emperor.
But they were all holding weapons.
Cho Sa, sitting on the left, also had a large bow and quiver of arrows on his back.
-Is that man in the center the emperor?
A middle-aged man with a strong appearance wearing a golden robe was seen on the dragon throne in the very center.
He truly looked like an emperor ruling a country.
Regardless of his martial arts skills, the sense of intimidation he felt was very extraordinary, unlike ordinary people.
‘…..an escort?’
There were two guards guarding both sides of the emperor.
They were people who covered their faces with black cotton thread.
However, the person on the left was someone who had reached the peak of inaction, but the person on the right was different.
It wasn’t just different, it was a different level.
-How long is it?
‘…I went over the wall.’
-really?
Despite his attire, he is just a bodyguard, but he has such martial prowess.
Maybe that person is the hidden power of the imperial family.
‘It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.’
There are a total of four people who have climbed over the wall here.
Excluding the unexpected person next to the emperor, the rest would be three of the twelve in the world.
At least it was a godsend that knocked Seolbaek unconscious.
I rolled my eyes to the right.
Is that old man, wearing a gray suit and holding a serenity even on this cold day, the God of Myowol and Yangmyeong?
It was a good thing that Ho Jong-won knew about their appearance in advance.
The person who climbed over the other wall on the left is then the head of the Fusan Confucian Academy… Huh?
That wasn’t what I heard him look like.
‘cane?’
Next to Yang Myeong-sin, there was a man wearing official uniform and holding a cane.
He was a blind man whose eyes were covered with black cloth.
He had a beard, and when I saw his face, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘!?’
-what’s the matter?
‘……It’s him.’
-Are you that guy?
He is the man with two golden eyes.
-what? really?
It’s real.
He covered his eyes like a blind man and grew a beard, but how can we forget that face?
He is the one who came looking for Gu Yaja in the images of Bonglimgok and the Blood Demon Sword.
It was a truly unexpected meeting.
I could never have imagined that this person would be by the side of the tyrant Geum Sang-je.
‘ah!’
That familiar voice seemed to be that person.
What made it sound familiar yet different was that he modulated his voice to become thicker.
-I guess he’s pretending to be blind to hide his golden eyes.
I think so.
If you are blind to begin with, who would tell you to open your eyes?
-no. Why is that monster-like guy here?
‘……no way?’
Now that I think about it, when we met at Bonglimgok, that person spoke as if he knew the One-Eyed Golden Eye, the Lord.
If that’s true, now might be that time.
under! After all, it is now.
Wait a minute, then where on earth is Vigilante?
-Isn’t that the one next to the emperor?
‘Is he sleeping?’
That being said, there was something different about the presence or feeling.
Ja-gyeong-jeong had cultivated the Tao and had a more pure spirit, but that guard had an unusual sense of weight.
Even though I tried to gather as much energy as I could, I was still feeling a heavy sense of intimidation.
-Unhwi. It seems that the emperor’s bodyguard on the right is Jonju.
‘what?’
-You can’t see the face clearly, but the exposed jaw line is very similar to that person’s.
Namcheoncheolgeom’s voice rang in my head.
If that’s true, then is Jonju the hidden power of the imperial family?
It was quite possible.
If so, his strength that I heard about is somewhat understandable.
-Then where on earth is that guy?
This is what I want to ask.
There is a Buddhist instrument inside, but the figure of Jagyeongjeong is not visible.
In addition, the appearance of Noejang, the last member of the Twelve Worlds under the emperor’s control, was nowhere to be seen.
Then who on earth is holding the Buddhist instrument?
Two of them are in the form of accessories and can be hidden, but the other two are in the form of weapons and cannot be hidden.
At that time, a man with two golden eyes, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, turned his head towards me.
Then he frowned.
As I was about to kneel down after the general and general Yeom, I was momentarily taken aback by that sight.
‘this!’
Even though he was blindfolded, he had golden eyes.
Saving energy was meaningless in front of the golden eye, which read energy as light.
You can’t help but notice that he has an inaction that is different from that of the Heavenly Seal.
I was wondering what to do about this, but then the two-eyed golden-eyed man pretending to be blind turned his head to the emperor and said:
“It looks like the guest he mentioned has come. your majesty.”
What is this sound?
While I was wondering, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne opened his mouth.
“Hoo. okay?”
The emperor was looking straight at me with an expression of interest.
Then, General Hang Mugi and General Yeom suddenly pulled out the sword and sword from their waists and aimed them at my neck as I knelt.
They weren’t the only ones.
-visor! visor! visor!
The inside of the tent rang with the sound of weapons being drawn.
All of the alumni guards inside took out their daggers from their arms.
Even Master Pagongwi, known as the Twelfth Master of the World, pulled out his bow and aimed his bow at me, and Myowe Yangmingshin also opened his eyes wide.
-What does this mean? It’s Unhwi.
Is there any way for me to know?
One thing is for sure: things went wrong.
I feel like I fell into a trap without even realizing it.
At that time, the emperor sitting on the throne crossed his legs and opened his mouth.
“Did you send it from Dohwaseon?”
‘!!!’
The fuse was mentioned directly from his mouth.
It’s hard to understand what the meaning of this is for this person, who is pretending to be blind, to say that to me all at once.
I closed my mouth for a moment, looked around with my eyes, and then cautiously opened my mouth.
First of all, I’ll have to play it cool to figure out the situation.
“your majesty. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am…..”
“Director Cho.”
-Paang! Shoo!
As soon as the emperor’s call was heard, I felt something rushing sharply from the side.
It was so fast that it would not be an exaggeration to call it fleeting.
So I caught it flying away without even moving or raising my head.
-Park!
It was an arrow fired by Pakungwi Chosa.
“You caught my arrow from this distance without even looking.”
He was surprised that he caught an arrow fired from close range.
The emperor’s eyes were also narrowed, as if he was quite surprised to see me catching the arrow of the evil demon known as the Twelfth Day of the World.
I am already tired of playing Kang Cheonjang.
“Whoa.”
I sighed and slowly raised my head and looked directly at the emperor.
But the emperor, who had been surprised, now spoke to me with a face full of joy, raising the corners of his mouth.
“I was waiting for you to come. “I am a descendant of Geomseon.”
‘!!!’
