Episode 490. destiny calls (2)
“It smells good.”
“Fortunately, the.”
“It smells good, but the aftertaste is very bitter.”
“Oh, if you do, another drink… … .”
“This incident is just like this drink.”
“… … .”
“As you know, the imperial palace has no power. The only power I had as a small master of the imperial palace was the loyalty of a few people loyal to the empire and my own lineage.”
“… … .”
“In other words, it was a justification, a cause. It’s a chaotic world with the Grandfather of Gunung, but there is no one with a greater cause than me. Except for one.”
“… … .”
“One of them fell into the hands of the enemy. I wanted to have a drink because it was fragrant, so I followed it, but after swallowing it, the aftertaste became very bitter. Don’t you think so?”
“majesty.”
“I know your abilities. You guys aren’t the kind of people to be defeated so easily. Even so, I can’t get my pulse on such a crucial matter.
It was the same in the past, the previous Demonic Sect.”
Dam Sa-yeong’s face hardened.
I was referring to the former Demonic Cultist, that is, the two heavenly statues. Joo Cheon-yang was touching the most sensitive part of Dam Sa-young.
Zhu Chunyang’s eyes grew cold.
“You see? I am a person who has personally seen the power of a demon that transcends the human realm.
I don’t know because I don’t have much interest in my martial arts, but I knew the moment I saw him that his strength was unprecedented in history.”
“… … !”
“Even so, I chose you, not the Demonic Cult. Because I wanted to be with you all the way.”
“… … .”
“It’s difficult to be like this. How can a sick old man plan the world with skills that cannot be properly guarded? Surely, you don’t think my words are excessive, do you?”
“Is it possible?”
Dam Sa-young lowered her head.
Joo Chun-yang did not see that his eyes were cold and shiny.
‘It makes me tired.’
You chose us over the Demonic Cult? gibberish!
Even Joo Chun-yang knew from the beginning. If you change sides, there will be a threat to your safety. Besides, it was all thanks to him that he was able to come into the world.
After all, his power is the prince’s own power. It’s just that I couldn’t dare to hold hands with someone else.
‘It fits just right.’
He intended to make the crown prince a puppet after conquering the middle court. And Joo Cheon-yang was the perfect person to be a puppet.
Dam Sa-yeong decided to put up with Joo Chun-yang’s complaints. In my heart, I wanted to put a kiss on the cheek, but he was an indispensable existence for the great precepts. Whether it’s breaking a limb or pulling out a tongue, it won’t be too late to do it after calming down the midfield.
‘However, that’s right.’
I couldn’t protect a sick old man.
I had nothing to say about that part. It was because I never thought they would think of kidnapping the emperor. He dispatched troops just in case, but he didn’t know that he would actually do what he wanted.
‘No, I was surprised to find out that the emperor was sick in the first place. How on earth did he know that?’
There are also many Demonic Cults north of the Yangtze River. He must have been gathering all sorts of information from the hidden secret branch.
However, it was a failure that I did not expect to dig this deep.
Dam Sa-yeong looked back at what she lacked.
‘information!’
Yes. information was lacking.
To be precise, there is no shortage of information. Haven’t you already spread countless informants all over the north of the Yangtze River?
The opponent who evaded the spider web-like information network and snatched out what he wanted was amazing. This information power cannot be dismissed as weak.
However, if the result is this, it is also right to build a stronger information power.
Dam Sa-young’s eyes flashed.
‘Gongyachi. I knew that you were attached to the Demon Sect, who wouldn’t mind killing him.’
I didn’t know anything else, but Haowen was watching closely.
Hao Mun was not involved in the kidnapping of the emperor this time. I could be sure of that.
However, he was too busy paying attention to Hao-wen.
‘I can’t do it. I kept him alive to use him to shake up the Demonic Cult, but now that it’s like this, I’ll have to completely root it out.’
It was when he was rolling his head for a while.
“I’ll get you a drink.”
“yes? Ah, yes.”
Dam Sa-young politely accepted the drink.
Zhu Chun sighed.
“I was angry for a while and said something harsh, but I still believe in you guys. As the bulwark of the empire that will be built in the future, I must not make a mistake like this again.”
“It is only to be buried in Your Highness’ Sacred Heart. In the future, I will make sure that this never happens again.”
“I believe in you.”
The two drank in silence.
The silence didn’t last long.
“By the way, how do you think you’ll come out from there now?”
Dam Sa-yeong’s answer was immediate.
“They kidnapped the emperor. It may be intended to make a cause for its own sake, but it cannot be possible without the seal.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Besides, isn’t that old man, addicted to blood, doing it today and tomorrow?”
“… … That’s right.”
Dam Sa-yeong had no intention of telling Joo Chun-yang too much.

‘There is an antidote to blood in the Demonic Cult.’
I don’t know if I can decipher the emperor’s blood. He was the one with the strongest vitality, and the shamanistic law was also enforced, so even if he knew the antidote, he was likely to die in the middle.
Dam Sa-yeong shook her head inwardly.
‘You can’t be careless. Xu Liang, that bastard has done most of the things we thought were impossible. He’s kidnapped the Emperor, so he’s going to get them back to normal in some way.’
In addition, the emperor learned the Dragon God Ilwon Gong (龍神一原功).
Yongshin Ilwongong is the pinnacle of health and the sum total of coexistence. If you learn it, you will not be able to create other martial arts, but your body will always operate in an optimal state.
Former Emperor Jucheong learned Yongshin Ilwongong for over forty years. If only blood clots can be pulled out, it may be possible to recover on its own.
‘For now, I have to think that the emperor is alive.’
then?
‘I’ll try to find the seal somehow.’
The question is, where did Jucheong hide the seal?
They searched the entire palace, but couldn’t find the seal. It wasn’t even for a day or two, even at this moment, countless soldiers were mobilized to find the seal.
‘If I haven’t found it after searching this much, then it’s safe to assume that there is no seal in the imperial palace.’
After the troops were stationed, it seemed like it would be a good idea to look elsewhere. The problem is that I can’t figure out where it’s hidden.
Joo Chun-yang asked.
“Then can’t we just push on?”
“yes?”
“The old man was taken away, but life and death are unclear. Even if they are alive, it is difficult to establish a cause without the seal. If that’s the case, I don’t think it would be a bad thing to accuse them of kidnapping the emperor and overturn public opinion.”
Dam Sa-young answered carefully.
“If the emperor wakes up at least once in a while, and such an emperor joins hands with the Demonic Cult, it could be even more troublesome.”
“It can be a headache, but making a lie into the truth isn’t it something you’ve only done once or twice?”
“That word… … ?”
“From what I hear, I know that there are many evil arts and sciences that deceive people’s minds in the Demonic Cult.
Even if the old man joins hands with the Demonic Cult and goes to the front, wouldn’t it be enough to say that he became a puppet due to the witchcraft of the Demonic Cult?”
In an instant, Dam Sa-yeong’s eyes twinkled.
‘Right.’
This was something that Dam Sa-yeong hadn’t even thought of.
Joo Cheon-yang spoke calmly.
“If that happens, the Heavenly Demon Church will be accused of being a real traitor. People are simple.
No matter how much I solve money and capture public sentiment, if you plant a single seed of doubt in your heart, you will quickly turn around. The reason is because I have lived my whole life only receiving.”
“… … .”
“Public sentiment is a factor that has a great influence on a great country. But it’s not the deciding factor. Because public sentiment itself rides the waves.”
Dam Sa-yeong looked at Joo Chun-yang with new eyes.
‘You’re smart.’
He pointed out a corner he hadn’t thought of. Even though the bowl is small, it is not one or two that I have seen and heard. It’s just that he’s not stupid.
Dam Sa-young moved in.
“Your Highness is indeed right. One, please give me a little more time. The act of starting a war itself is not difficult, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with being careful.”
“hmm.”
“However, as Your Highness said, I believe there is a way to overturn public sentiment. After checking the reaction and behavior of the enemy side, I will push forward when I think it’s okay.”
Joo Cheon-yang smiled in satisfaction.
“One of your innumerable strengths is your patience, your thoughtfulness. I believe in you.”
“Glory comes.”
“I’ll get you a drink.”
“yes.”
Dam Sa-yeong’s eyes burned like the sun as she politely accepted and drank.
‘Assuming that the emperor is alive, they will definitely move to target the seal. If you see something remarkable about their troop movement, then that’s the time to move.’
* * *
“It is tightening.”
“yes?”
“Dam Sa-young is tightening the text.”
Yum Sangdanju was surprised.
“Uh, what do you think?”
In the spacious room, countless documents were spread out everywhere.
It was the conclusion Gong Ya-chi made after checking the documents for several days.
“The headmaster succeeded in kidnapping the emperor. But the most important thing is missing. It is the seal.”
“That’s right.”
“You wouldn’t know that because you’re righteous. In the first place, the emperor had no ties to Protestantism. If so, who holds this seal? This is what matters.”
“It is.”
“Think about it. The Heavenly Demon Church will definitely go find that seal. Now that the emperor has recovered, if we find the seal, we can bring the legitimacy of this war. one… … .”
“… … .”
“Before finding the seal, just having the emperor kidnapped is a huge blow. Dam Sa-yeong is a cunning person, but her response when caught off guard is dazzling.
You must be acutely aware of the lack of information.”
“Then, rather than destroying the text, it is better to bring it in… … .”
“you’re welcome. To Dam Sa-young, the main text is just an unreliable information organization.
However, there is a high probability that it was used as one of the ways to confuse Protestantism by distributing false information rather than rooting it out.”
“… … .”
“But now that things have turned out this way, I will start pruning from now on. I will start by excluding all uncertain powers.”
“… … One of them is the text.”
“That, too, can be said to be the branch that needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. Besides, look at these documents.”
Gong Yachi’s eyes shone.
“The speed at which informants in Shandong, Hebei and Shanxi extract information is slowing down.
It’s proof that Dam Sa-young started controlling information. And that movement will soon spread to the entire north of the Yangtze River.”
“Well, then… … ?”
“Backtracking. Dam Sa-young is tracking me.”
“omg! Isn’t that a big deal?”
“It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal, but… … .”
Gong Yachi’s eyes deepened.
The master of music said with determination.
“First of all, I’ll take the main documents of the temporary shelter. Heading to Hanam immediately… … .”
“No, wait.”
“yes?”
“Wait two days. Because the headmaster gave the word.”
“Ha, but, Lord Sosum!”
“A teacher I know would not miss the time. I believe in the headmaster.”
It was then.
Hao Mun also opened the door and came in.
“Lord Somun. A letter has arrived from the Protestant Church!”
“Come on, give it to me!”
A smile appeared on Gong Yachi’s face as he quickly checked the letter.
“also!”
Gong Yachi looked out the window. It was the expression of the tiredness of the past.
“Num top lord. Direct all sources of information in Sacheon and Gansu to Hebei.”
“yes?”
“The headmaster moved. He’s coming to midfield.”
