Episode 97
Don’t hold on to your ankles
Emperor Taesun could not understand the current situation.
I tried to join him because I thought he was talented, but the answer I got back was… … .
‘… … ‘Just two days?’
At first, I thought I heard wrong.
But when I saw Jeong Gwang’s clear eyes, I knew I had heard correctly.
I couldn’t help but ask.
“… … “Did you understand and answer what I said correctly?”
“yes.”
“… … “Are you sure you don’t want wealth and fame?”
“What kind of wealth and fame is Taoism?”
“… … I heard it’s just a pattern. I heard that his recent actions are worse than before… … .”
Hwang Tae-son frowned as if he was dumbfounded.
Jeong Gwang scratched his head.
‘Oh really. ‘How did the rumor spread?’
How can I get better?
It came out very well.
If even the Crown Prince, who lives in the imperial palace, knew about it, the people of Kunlun, including his master, would naturally have heard about it.
Still, I didn’t have much to worry about.
‘I’m sure you’ll understand.’
Aren’t the Kunlun Taoists real Taoists?
‘No. What did I do wrong?’
Coming from Hanam to here, I did not kill innocent people or steal other people’s property… … It was self-defense because they were bandits or enemy thugs.
In any case, it was a concentrate that had not yet done anything majorly reprehensible.
That’s why I was able to speak with my chest proud.
“In fact, rumors about Kangho are often misrepresented. “I think the Crown Prince misunderstands.”
“… … Yanjing (燕京) is where the emperor resides, so land prices are very expensive. The view is good too. “Would you like me to give you some?”
“How much? “Do you have a good neck?”
“… … .”
“Infinite Buddha. “Please give me two days’ worth.”
Hwang Tae-son looked at the concentrate and then laughed out loud.
Even though I asked him out loud, he still insisted on staying for two days.
Isn’t he such a fun guy?
‘It’s a true jade dragon… … .’
Even though I only experienced it for a short time, I knew it.
Jeonggwang was not someone who could be taken by force.
It will take time and effort.
‘There’s a long way to go anyway.’
Prince Hwang was a man who knew how to wait.
Until I ascend to the throne, no matter how long it takes.
He clearly revealed his true feelings.
“Okay. Day. step. “Let’s make it two days.”
“Just for now. Definitely two days… … .”
“Wouldn’t it be better to take a long view?”
“yes?”
“As you said earlier, I am very rich. Plus, he has power.”
“hmm. “That’s right.”
“In the future, you will become something even greater. “No, is that so?”
Jeong Gwang nodded inwardly.
‘That’s true.’
The grandson was to become the crown prince and later the emperor.
As long as it doesn’t go awry in the middle.
‘Hmm.’
Jeong Gwang quietly looked at Hwang Tae-son.
Tae-sun Hwang did not avoid his gaze, but simply accepted it calmly.
‘He’s quite smart. There is also distribution.’
This kind of person was rare.
If you make a kite, at least you won’t suffer any loss.
Jeong Gwang made a decision.
“great. “For now, let’s make it two days.”
“ha ha ha. “Thank you.”
“What. It’s about giving and receiving. What will you give me for two days?”
Taesun Hwang thought while stroking his chin and then shook his head.
“Tell me what you want rather than what I decide. “I think that would be neat.”
“I think you’ll say it’s too loud and you can’t hear it.”
“We will do our best to accommodate you.”
“Then let’s stay a little longer.”

“… … ?”
Hwang Tae-son, who was puzzled, burst into cheerful laughter at Jeong Gwang’s next words.
“I’ll tell you when I have more strength. “With interest added.”
* * *
In this way, Jeong Gwang spent two days with Hwang Tae-son.
“I need to decide where to stay first.”
When Jeong Gwang muttered, Hwang Tae-son answered.
“The Grand Duke gave me a large pavilion.”
“It’s better here than there.”
“Why is that so?”
This was because Jeong Gwang had not yet let go of his suspicions about Peng Kang-ung, the grand duke of the Peng family.
But can we say that?
“After spending a few days, I found it comfortable.”
“hmm? ha ha ha. “That’s a fun reason.”
Hwang Tae-son wanted to comply with Jeong Gwang’s wishes, but he had to support the deputy commander who had been assisting him so far.
“What do you think, Deputy Commander?”
After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.
“In fact, there are many things that are not enough to make up for the loss of the royal palace given by the Paengga. But if I had to choose, this would be better.”
“Why is that so?”
“There were too many palaces around there and many people passing by.”
“That’s definitely true.”
“But since this place is a bit remote, it is easy to be on guard in all directions. “If the Supreme Court surrounds you, most people won’t even think about approaching.”
Hwang Taeson added with a grin.
“The deputy commander will stop anyone who exceeds the limit.”
“Lowering. “I don’t know what to do with myself since you have elevated me so much.”
“haha. So high. “I am now giving a review befitting a top ten imperial palace expert.”
“Lowering… … .”
The deputy commander was thrilled and Hwang Tae-son was delighted.
Jeong Gwang, who was looking at that scene, could not help but be impressed.
‘Hey. Hwang Tae-son, that human. Even if you were born a beggar, earning a living would have been no problem. No, he would have lived in vain.’
He was a man who knew how to please people and handled them skillfully.
Wariness grew in Jeong Gwang’s mind.
‘If you let your guard down, your pay might get cut. ‘You have to stay alert.’
Meanwhile, Hwang Tae-son was thinking about something else.
To Panga, he was an uninvited guest who came without any contact.
The Grand Duke of the Peng family gave him a royal engraving, but he refused it and stayed here?
This was an act that was not only rude but also a great insult.
‘There is no need to hold unnecessary grudges.’
Moreover, it would affect his reputation.
“… … Wow. “What is it?”
As he muttered, Jeong Gwang asked.
“What?”
“I’m thinking about what to say to the Archduke.”
Jeong Gwang realized Hwang Tae-son’s feelings.
“Why don’t you turn around and say it?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s an anecdote with Elder Pang. I received help in the past, but due to the royal family’s laws, I was unable to tell the world about it. I can’t tell you right now, but I would like to express my deep gratitude to Panga. I want to spend time with Elder Paeng in this place, a bit far from the center of Paengga. “Like this.”
“ah!”
Tae-son Hwang let out an exclamation without realizing it.
‘It’s no one else, it’s Paengga. That’s all I can shed.’
It wasn’t the case back then, but now he is the Crown Prince.
This level of power is enough not to be caught.
‘Plus, it’s an opportunity to inform Master’s family of Master’s achievements.’
Even the people of Panga don’t know why Panmanso became limping.
Because it was the imperial palace’s business, it was kept completely secret.
Even though I’m saying it in a twisted way, you’ll understand at least that much.
“Okay. Let’s do it that way. By the way.”
“yes?”
Emperor Taesun’s eyes narrowed.
“How do you know what happened between me and Master?”
It was natural for Prince Hwang to be suspicious.
Wasn’t Jeong-gwang in another room just a moment ago?
Jeong Gwang answered as if asking why he was asking such an obvious question.
“I heard you.”
“… … .”
Taeson Hwang turned his gaze to look at the deputy commander.
His face was already red.
‘It was clear that the sound was blocked with internal energy. ‘How?’
Hwang Tae-son comforted the deputy commander who was blaming himself.
“It’s not your fault.”
“… … Lowering. “Please kill the little person.”
“Uh huh. Even if it’s not.”
Taeson Hwang’s gaze shifted to Jeong Gwang.
What really needed to be killed was Jeonggwang.
‘If it’s an enemy.’
Just thinking about it made my skin tingle.
Seeing this level of ability displayed casually, it seemed like what was not revealed was even more amazing.
Why, isn’t there a saying among powerful people that you should hide three percent of your skills?
Of course Jeong Gwang would do the same.
‘then… … .’
The greed in the Crown Prince’s heart grew bigger.
Now, he wanted to be the next king after the emperor.
* * *
Peng Gangung was very happy.
After all, who in the world would hear words of gratitude from the Crown Prince?
This was the same for Paeng Gang-hwi, who suddenly lost his royal palace.
Their hearts felt like they would burst with pride for their grandfather and their family.
‘Besides, you’re going to give a congratulatory speech at the banquet that starts tomorrow?’
‘There is literally nothing more to ask for.’
Brother Pang bowed deeply.
“Rest in peace, Your Majesty.”
“Thank you.”
In this way, the Crown Prince was able to stay comfortably in Peng Kang-hui’s palace.
Jeong Gwang introduced him to the people in the hall.
“This is my priest Baek Seung-mu. “In the powerful world, it is called the Financial Swordsman Association.”
“… … I’ve only heard of it before. I heard he was a nobleman, but he looked very pitiful. “Is it possible that it was reversed?”
“yes.”
“indeed.”
As Hwang Tae-son admired Baek Seung-moo with his head bowed, Jeong Gwang continued.
“This is Zao. We go together. Sounds like a vicious rich person, right? “It originally looked ordinary.”
“Huh. “That’s amazing.”
Zhao also bowed his head, and Zheng Guang introduced Peng Shubin.
“This is my student Peng Su-bin. “I got it this time.”
“Huh. “Already?”
“Iknow, right. I wonder how this happened. “But I’m glad you’re smart.”
“haha. “Yes, it looks like it.”
After Jeong Gwang finished all the introductions, he was at a loss for words.
There are things that are right for each person, and Jeong Gwang was a person who knew how to use people like Hwang Tae-son.
“Zhao. “Would you like to tell the Crown Prince something interesting?”
“It’s not enough, but I’ll give it a try.”
It wasn’t enough.
at all.
Zhao talked non-stop, and Prince Huang listened in rapt attention.
It was mainly about Kang Hao’s evil practices and assassins, but when would Emperor Taeson, who had a high status, ever heard of such things?
Occasionally, he would say something so vulgar that the deputy commander tried to stop him, but Hwang Tae-son actually stopped him.
“Deputy commander. Just stay still this time. “It’s very interesting.”
“… … “Yes, sir.”
Zhao was excited and kept moving his mouth.
In the meantime, Jeong Gwang quietly closed the door and came out.
Unlike the noisy room, the outside was peacefully quiet.
‘If there were pigs around, you would have already heard the rumor.’
Waiting didn’t suit me, but I had to do it this time.
It was because I wasn’t sure what the pig would do.
‘First of all, I improved my physical condition as much as possible… … .’
The helper was also useful.
Not only the deputy commander, but even the members of the Geumui Committee who are keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.
Now that we have familiarized ourselves with each other and exchanged basic language, we will be able to properly connect if something unexpected happens.
But above all… … .
‘I have to make friends with the real person too.’
Jeong Gwang’s gaze turned to his own shadow.
And sent a signal towards it.
-When you move in, you have to ask for permission.
If anyone had seen him, they would have asked him if he was crazy, but Jeong Gwang was serious.
He continued looking at the shadow.
– Prince Hwang Tae-son was in the shadows and then came over in an instant. What is it?
Even if I waited quietly, the shadow did not even move.
One corner of Jeong Gwang’s mouth rose.
-You are a quiet person. It would be nice to combine it with Zao and then split it in half.
How great it would be if that were really possible.
However, Jeong Gwang was not a person who regretted the impossible.
I had to do what needed to be done right away.
-Anyway, let’s do well today and tomorrow. First, let’s imagine that your Majesty was attacked while eating. How is it supposed to move?
-… … .
-Oh really. Instead of fighting pointlessly, speak quickly. Just in case, I need to link it up.
-… … .
-Oh my. Are you going to come out like this?
Jeong Gwang’s eyes became harsh.
He glared at the shadow, then shrugged his shoulders and sent a message.
-great. They move separately. Instead, don’t hold on to your ankles.
Was it a mistake?
The shadow swayed slightly.
-what? He is a person with stronger pride than he looks.
-… … .
-But what should I call you?
-… … .
-Women’s association? Daehyup?
-… … !
-I don’t know what to say since you are neither.
The shadow visibly wavered.
