“I will try my best to ensure that the Geumuiwi’s apprentices can also be employed in the underground Geumok.”
“Hoo.”
Mok Gyeong-un stroked his chin as he heard the words of Geumui-wi in the wall.
It wasn’t as bad a proposition as I thought.
Infiltrating the Geumwiwi was a kind of major prerequisite, and the next most necessary requirement was an excuse to enter the underground Geumok.
The plan made by the advance team here was to go through Queen Seo Hwang.
Queen Seo Hwang had a brother.
Queen Seo Hwang’s older brother, Seo Geum, who was a government official from a small county, rose to the position of commander thanks to the emperor’s favor when she was a queen concubine before her children became crown princes.
But there was no way everything would go smoothly.
He was in charge of the northern Nyingha region, and since he was only a military graduate, he had limited command experience. He was unable to stop the Great Famine, and lost 30,000 soldiers and even lost his territory.
[Please strip Commander Seogeum of his title and punish him with capital punishment.]
Naturally, numerous appeals poured in.
However, the emperor, who loved Lady Seo, could not bear to kill her brother.
As a result, he was stripped of his position as commander and sent into exile in Ojido.
And a few years later, when the child born to Lady Seo ascended to the throne as the crown prince, he was moved to the Geumok in the basement of the imperial palace under the pretext of being the maternal relative of the next emperor.
[Your Majesty’s new concubine’s brother is also deeply repenting of his sins.]
[Your Majesty’s brother has no desire to even hold a government position anymore.]
Queen Seo Hwang is constantly trying to get her brother Seo Geum pardoned, but because her crime is so serious, her efforts are repeatedly blocked due to opposition from other forces.
Although it was unfortunate for her, this was a natural justification for entering the underground Geumok.
‘Accompanied by Queen Seo Hwang, he attempts to visit the underground Geumok and retrieve the imprisoned guardian spirit spell of Baehwagyo.’
That was the original plan, and it was the most likely one.
However, if another method of intrusion arises here, there is no need to go out of your way to persuade Lady Hwang or comply with her unnecessary demands.
‘You can avoid annoying situations, but…’
But here Mok Gyeong-un had to go one step further.
In addition to Hoeju’s confidential mission, it was because of a secret order given by Amjongju.
[If you succeed in escaping, seize the guardian spirit again.]
As a member of the Baehwa Church, the leader of Amjong gave a secret order to Mok Gyeong-un.
This was a very contradictory situation.
Only by safely removing the Guardian Spirit Spell was he able to become Huaiju’s fourth disciple, and through this, he was able to approach Huaiju.
However, if you fail the mission, it flies away.
‘Hmm.’
Mok Gyeong-un continued to worry about this.
If you ignore Amjongju’s secret orders without any measures, you will definitely end up in trouble with him.
If that happens, it will lead to an annoying situation.
‘What should I do?’
However, since there were two routes to infiltrate the underground Geumok, there was room to plan something along the way.
Mok Gyeong-un, who was staring at the Geumuiwi inside the wall, seemed to have gathered his thoughts, and spoke with one corner of his mouth slightly raised.
“great. “Let me take that offer.”
“Is this okay?”
“no. Of course, this is not enough. In the end, I have to take the risk of going into the underground gold house anyway.”
“…Then what are we going to do?”
“Of course, you have to cooperate with me until I complete it.”
“Cooperate?”
“yes. “If you do that, wouldn’t the weights on the scale be somewhat equal?”
“…….”
He was internally dissatisfied with Mok Gyeong-un’s words, but since he was not the one holding the reins, he had no choice but to silently accept them.
Geumuiwi in the wall nodded and said.
“i get it. if……”
Geumuiwi inside the wall silently looked towards his stomach.
Then Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and said.
“If the job is completed safely, I will remove your loneliness.”
“what?”
“Is this your first time doing business? Have you ever seen someone pay for an item before receiving it?”
“……”
Geumuiwi, who was clenching his fists and shaking them, soon responded with a long sigh.
“i get it.”
Anyway, I didn’t have much of a choice.
It was closer to gambling, but I had to hope that he would keep his promise.
“ruler. Then we must have signed a trade agreement…..”
-Jump, jump, jump!
Mok Gyeong-un approached Hong Bong-yuk’s daughter, Song-ah, to relieve her acupuncture points.
Geumuiwi in the wall, who was looking at Mokgyeongun like that, opened his mouth as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Let’s ask.”
Mo Gyeong-un spoke willingly as if it didn’t matter anything.
The Geumwiwi in the wall asked.
“Do you by any chance have the last name Jin?”

“Jin’s last name?”
“okay.”
In response to his question, Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
“no.”
“If you say so, it’s the last name of So (肖)…”
“There are all kinds of last names. “It’s a pastoral house.”
“eclogue?”
‘ah……..’
The eyes of Geumuiwi within the wall trembled at Mokgyeongun’s answer.
I asked just in case, but no.
That means he really learned his martial arts skills just by seeing him, but he was truly a monster.
In fact, only at this level can one be said to have a great master-level martial ability.
Geumuiwi inside the wall clicked his tongue and said.
“You really learned the Gyeongshin method by stealing it.”
“Oh, that new law? It was very useful. “May I ask what the name of the method is?”
“You take what belongs to others and have no conscience.”
“I asked because you admitted it.”
At those words, the goldsmith inside the wall hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“….Wind luck, no…it’s the wind god treasure.”
“Fengshinbo? “He is the god of the wind. It is an arrogant yet fitting name.”
In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s comments, Geumuiwi in Byeok-an secretly apologized to his teacher.
‘I’m sorry. I had no choice.’
The original real name of Bobeop was Pungunbo.
However, because he could not tell us exactly about the Gyeongshinbeop, the name was changed.
At that time, Mok Kyung-un spoke.
“Now that we’ve given each other one by one, can I ask one more question?”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that Westerners have brown or yellow hair. But he has black hair. “Did you dye it with ink?”
‘As expected.’
At this question, the eyes of Geumuiwi in the wall became harsh.
As expected, this guy was no different from the others.
I saw him suddenly taking interest in his appearance, which was different from others.
however,
‘!?’
I unconsciously looked at Mok Gyeong-un in disappointment, and unlike the question I had asked, he had a dull expression on his face, as if he had no particular interest.
‘what?’
Was this really a question out of pure curiosity?
Looking at Mo Kyung-un’s eyes, it was nothing more or less.
It was quite different from others.
Even the teacher remembered the look in his eyes when he first saw him.
Come to think of it, that guy didn’t seem to have any particular reaction after seeing his face like this. There was no difference from what ordinary people saw.
Maybe that’s why I felt strange.
‘…….’
He’s a really unique guy.
Normally I would have just ignored it, but this time I responded.
“……It’s because I’m mixed race.”
His mother was from the Central Plains and his father was from the West.
As a result, he was born different from the Westerners and the Central Plains, and he resented his parents for the rest of his life.
“Mixed blood? iced coffee. So that’s it.”
But that was all Mok Kyung-un’s reaction.
When I heard the answer to my question, I turned my head as if my curiosity had been satisfied.
‘This is it?’
The reaction was so vain that it even made me think that maybe I was being too sensitive for no reason.
-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
Mok Gyeong-un soon relieved Song-a’s fortune-telling.
When the acupuncture points were relieved, she could hear the sound again and walked away from Mo Kyung-un with a look of disgust on her face.
This is why she did not want to be close to the martial arts people.
As if he didn’t mind her attitude, Mok Gyeong-un stretched out his hand somewhere.
OK,
-Shoot!
The leather pouch on the floor flew out and was caught in Mok Gyeong-un’s hand.
The Geumuiwi of the wall saw this and said in confusion.
“for a moment. “I have to take that.”
“I would have said that was difficult. “I also have to take my father-in-law’s severed hand.”
Hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s words, Geumui-wi in the wall pointed to Song-a and said.
“That is not the hand of a craftsman.”
“yes? “What do you mean by that?”
“That’s literally it. “It is not a real craftsman, but a fake.”
“FALSE?”
Mok Kyung-un looked at Song-ah.
Then Song-Ah nodded and answered.
“…….What the Great Leader of the Gold Council said is right. “Jangju, whose arm was cut off, is just an ordinary butcher.”
“An ordinary butcher? “Then are you also a fake?”
In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s question, Geumui-wi in the wall said:
“That saucer is not fake.”
“How does Cheonho know if it’s fake or not?”
“You can tell by looking at your hands.”
“hand?”
Mok Kyung-un looked at Song-ah’s hand.
The knuckles of my fingers were peeling off to the point where I couldn’t see any fingerprints, and there wasn’t a single intact spot.
Just by looking at this, you could tell that she was no ordinary person.
“The real father-in-law is my father.”
“So the conclusion is that I was deceived by a fake person.”
“…….yes.”
She answered in a hushed voice.
“This is it.”
At this, Mok Kyung-un clicked his tongue slightly.
Then there was no need to bother trying to find the severed arm.
But there was no need to blame for this.
Thanks to this deception, a new route was created to enter the underground Geumok.
Could it be a blessing in disguise?
“If you do that, you don’t have to take this hand?”
“……It’s unfortunate for him, but I think this is the best way to prevent this from getting worse.”
“That’s reasonable.”
Hearing Song-ah’s words, Mok Gyeong-un threw the leather pouch he was holding to Geumuiwi in the wall.
The Geumuiwi within the wall accepted this and sighed.
If I didn’t take this with me, things would have gone wrong and the guy would have gone on a rampage.
-widely!
“Ouch! “Well, what are you doing?”
Song-Ah was embarrassed as Mok-Gyeong-Woon was carrying her on his shoulders like a piece of luggage, and she didn’t know what to do.
Either way, Mok Kyung-un didn’t care at all.
“I can’t match Sozer’s walking speed. So let her go back quickly. Then, Cheonho, I’ll see you later.”
Mok Gyeong-un bowed lightly to Geumuiwi in the wall and then turned to leave.
Mok Gyeong-un, who was about to take a step like that, paused for a moment and said.
“I almost forgot. “I said I’d see you later, but I didn’t even know his name.”
“……..”
“My name is Mok Gyeong-un. “What is the name of the Cheonho of the Geumuiwi?”
To his question, the Geumuiwi within the wall gave a short answer.
“It’s Marahyeon.”
* * *
– Swish!
“Ugh.”
Song-Ah closed her eyes tightly, as if she was scared by the movement so fast that she couldn’t see her surroundings.
Mok Gyeong-un, who was performing a light attack like that, suddenly stopped midway.
I did it for some reason, but it was because I ran into someone on the way.
He was none other than Seopchun.
“My lord!”
Mok Gyeong-un asked him in confusion.
“I told you to wait, but why did you come here?”
“I was leaving because I had something urgent to tell you and I thought I needed to help you.”
“What if you want to tell it urgently?”
In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s question, Seop-chun looked at Song-ah, who was being carried on his shoulders, and said,
“It’s because of that Soger.”
“This one?”
“yes. “Your lord may feel uncomfortable, but the master whose arm was cut off was not a real craftsman.”
“iced coffee. You mean that? “I know.”
“You know?”
“yes. As you can see. “Is that why you came to deliver it to me?”
“Ah yes. Also, my real father-in-law asked me to save him, that is, his daughter, so I came quickly.”
However, contrary to concerns, it was fortunate to see that Mok Kyung-un saved her.
In fact, he came in a hurry because he thought that the lord might only bring the severed hand.
Still, it was a good thing that I found a wife for my father-in-law.
Then Mok Gyeong-un asked.
“Well, I’m glad that your request was granted in the end. So who did you say is the real craftsman?”
“Do you remember the hairy man who guided us?”
“ah? “Him?”
“yes. “He was a true craftsman.”
Hearing Nie Chun’s words, Mo Gyeong-un shook his head and suddenly burst into laughter.
Seopchun, puzzled by his laughter, asked.
“How can you say that?”
At that question, Mok Gyeong-un suddenly lifted up and put down Song-ah, who was carrying him.
Song-ah also couldn’t understand what was happening and looked at Mo Gyeong-un.
Then Mokgyeongun spoke to her.
“Perhaps because the work is so secret, deceiving people seems to have become a daily routine.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Because I have an unusually good memory.”
“What does it mean to have a good memory….”
“Not only did he have a lot of hair, but none of the butchers there had palms like Sojeo’s.”
‘!?’
Song-ah’s expression hardened, perhaps because she was embarrassed by these words.
Then Mok Kyung-un placed his hand on her shoulder and said with a grin.
“I thought the craftsman who made the bast face masks was an experienced man, but that wasn’t necessarily the case.”
Nyeopchun’s eyes widened at those words and he looked at Songa.
“Master… really?”
“yes. “It seems like this owner is a real craftsman.”
‘!!!!!!’
