< Episode 71 Mark (5) >
An office located in the main headquarters of the Geumuiui Committee.
A man in his fifties, with droopy eyes and a scraggly beard, was sitting on a desk with his legs crossed, holding a short stick in his mouth and exhaling smoke.
“Whoa.”
His name is Sang Ikseo.
He was a Jeong 4th rank Geumuiwiwi commanding sergeant who was ranked 3rd in rank in command of the Geumuiwiwi.
In his office, in addition to himself, a middle-aged man in his 40s dressed in the uniform of the White Tiger of the Geumuiuiwi was sitting on a reception chair and carefully brushing his sword.
Considering the hierarchical relationship between positions, the White Tiger of the Geumui Committee would have been expected to stand up straight, but seeing him sitting in a comfortable position, the relationship seemed quite horizontal.
-Sigh!
Every time a middle-aged man in his 40s brushes his blade, the air around him strangely becomes sharper.
Just by looking at this, you could tell that he was something out of the ordinary.
After concentrating on each other’s work quietly for a while, Sang Ik-seo, the command assistant who was smoking a gombangdae, started crying.
“He should have entered the inner palace by now.”
At his words, Baekho, a middle-aged member of the Geumwiwi in his 40s, opened his mouth.
“As long as it’s at the appointed time.”
“Soon, the Nae Palace, no, King Jong’s Jikhyeon Palace will be overturned.”
“If it succeeds properly, it won’t just be overturned. “The entire imperial palace will be turned upside down.”
This is a case targeting no one else but the second prince, King Zong.
If that happens, no matter how much the emperor cares for Queen Dowager Seo, he will not overlook this incident.
“It will be a lot of fun.”
The current situation will be overturned in one fell swoop.
I couldn’t hide my excitement at the thought of that girl being in trouble.
Then he sucked in the stick and exhaled smoke and said:
“Whew. But Wooyun is late.”
Cheonho Wooyun.
It was the Geumwiwi who assisted him.
By now, I should have given orders to the ‘bastard’ and returned.
But it hasn’t arrived yet.
Sang Ik-seo, the command sergeant who was puzzled by this, said with a suspicious look in his eyes.
“I’m sure he didn’t disobey the headquarters’ orders, right?”
To this question, middle-aged Geumwiwi Baekho answered with a sigh and a smile.
“No matter how much they pretend to be loyal and noble, if it is truly a life-threatening matter, they will have no choice but to follow.”
“I have no choice… Well, there is a bug in my stomach that is holding onto my life, and if I refuse it, I am a crazy person who wants to die.”
Worms in the stomach.
What they were talking about was loneliness.
Command sergeant Sang Ikseo, who was laughing like that, shook off the ashes of Gombangdae with an ashtray and said,
“Speaking of which, it’s quite comfortable, so can’t we get a few more solitudes? Or that parasitic loneliness can be controlled more with Yeonggo…”
“I should have told you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because solitude consists of a pair, parasitic forms cannot be increased in that way. And since it takes a lot of dictatorship and training to create that pair, you can’t just create one if you want.”
At his words, Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, licked his lips in disappointment.
I used to be annoyed that he went around wearing a mask and pretending to be noble to a subject who was at most worthless to him, but thanks to his solitude, he was transformed into a faithful slave.
“Then is it possible to recycle what was inside?”
“What if it was inside?”
“That parasitic type.”
“……After the host dies, it bursts and dies shortly afterwards. Of course, recycling is not impossible if you take precautions beforehand.”
“That’s a good thing to hear.”
I was already planning on throwing it away after this incident was over and I had used it a few more times.
If you can recycle loneliness, you can create another deck.
It was truly useful.
“I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
“All right.”
“ah! “But how is it going?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about interrogating that apostate.”
“……..”
“If you personally go down to the underground prison every two days and interrogate them, isn’t the item you’re looking for quite important?”
-widely!
As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger of the Geumwiwi stopped polishing its blade.
Then he immediately put the sword down on the table.
At that sight, I immediately felt tension in the eyes of Sang Ik-seo, the assistant commanding officer.
That’s because the White Tiger of the Geumuiwiwi that was on the table disappeared before I knew it.
-Sigh!
Soon, rough hands came to my shoulders.
Command assistant Sang Ik-seo swallowed dry saliva without realizing it as both hands pressed on his shoulders.
Although he is not a member of the working staff, unlike the commander or commanding comrade, he was once a working staff member and was an expert who had reached the very beginning.
The inaction of the White Tiger of the Geumuiwiwi was so strong that even he could not even guess that he appeared behind him in the blink of an eye.
Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, opened his mouth in a nervous voice.

“haha. Look. “Did this official make a mistake?”
In response to that question, Geumwiwi Baekho, who had both hands on his shoulders, tightened his grip and said.
“Adult in charge of command.”
“……..”
“What did one of the masters who helped you achieve what you wanted say?”
“……..I said I’m not involved in your business.”
“I know very well. “If someone who knows so well tries to meddle in other people’s affairs for no reason, the consequences wouldn’t be very good, right?”
There was deep murder in that voice.
This was a warning of sorts.
It was pressure not to interfere or interfere in one’s own affairs.
Ordinary people would tremble in fear if they warned their opponents with overwhelming strength.
However, Sang Ik-seo, the chief conductor, also had courage because he did not come to this position for nothing.
Sang Ik-seo said with a big smile as casually as possible.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. “I really offended you unintentionally.”
“……”
“But I’m not trying to get involved or meddle in your affairs. I asked out of pure curiosity because things didn’t seem to be going well even though I went back and forth to the underground prison frequently. “You definitely haven’t forgotten the agreement.”
“Is that so? “If you do that, put that pure curiosity into it.”
“I already put it in.”
At his sly answer, Baekho of the Geumuiwi snorted.
This person is probably the only one who can slyly walk the tightrope every time, even though he scares himself.
Of course, he chose this person because he was able to control his emotions and was resourceful.
-Sureuk!
Soon, the new model of the White Tiger of the Geumuiwi was moved back to the chair at the table.
He picked up the sword he had placed on the table again and began to carefully clean it.
Seeing him like that, Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, inwardly clicked his tongue.
They held hands because their interests matched each other, but every time they felt the strength of their interests, they became curious about their identity.
There was no way that this person’s name would not have been known until now.
It seems that he may have gained quite a bit of fame or notoriety in the martial arts world.
The corner of Sang Ik-seo’s mouth twitched as his curiosity was aroused.
I had never asked this out loud before, but I was curious because he was always so confident.
‘If you turn around and make him talk, he’ll be a pig.’
At this, Sang Ikseo opened his mouth.
“Did you say that when you suggested bringing Mara Cheonho into the group, you would be able to escape from the hands of the Northern Jin Warriors?”
Geumuiwi North Jinsa military officer Hyeonsun.
Along with Namjin Musa, he stood at the top of the Geumuiwi Commission as a practitioner.
Although his reputation was lower than that of the Namjin warriors, who were called one of the six thousand warriors, he was one of the top five masters in the imperial palace.
There was even a saying that with that level of inaction, even if he went out to the martial arts world, he would not be able to deal with anyone unless he was an elder or head of a prestigious shaman or sect.
The reason he naturally brought this up was because the person who implicitly supported and protected this prince, King Jong, was the Northern Jin warrior Hyeonsun.
– Swoosh!
Geumuiwi Baekho answered while polishing his blade.
“…….If we stick to it properly, if Marahyeon decides to run away, it will be difficult to catch him even if he is a Northern Jinsa warrior.”
“Hoo. “Is Marahyeon that great?”
“There are not many people in the imperial palace who can catch up with him through the Divine God Act alone.”
“That’s amazing. “It’s so bad that even the Northern Jin warrior can’t catch up.”
“Unless there is a special mistake or variable, Mara-hyeon will not be caught for this incident.”
“It’s a variable… unless someone as talented as you shows up?”
“……”
“no no. Don’t look at me like that. “I’m just saying this because I remember how easily you subdued that person.”
He had seen the White Tiger of the Geumuiwi subdue the Cheonho Marahyeon right in front of his nose.
The decision was made in just a few seconds.
In response to his question, Baekho of the Geumwiwi stopped cleaning his blade, looked at Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, and said,
“What do you want to say?”
“no. “I was wondering if you, who can easily subdue Marahyeon, will be able to compete with the Northern Jin Warriors if you come forward later.”
“……”
“Is it difficult?”
Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, deliberately stimulated his pride.
The warriors had a unique pride as a warrior.
I don’t know if that would apply to this person as well, but if he did, I might be able to guess what level he would be at.
At that time, one of the White Tiger’s eyebrows rose upward.
‘……Did I say something unnecessary?’
At that sight, Sang Ik-seo, the command sergeant, flinched and wondered if he should take a step back.
Then, the White Tiger of the Geumuiwi opened his mouth.
“The expression that they are male and female only applies when they have equal abilities.”
Sang Ikseo, who was nervous on the inside, breathed a sigh of relief.
I was worried that he might read my intentions and be offended, but fortunately, it seemed like my pride had been touched.
“So, if you step forward, do you think you can sufficiently subdue the Northern Jin Warriors?”
“It may take some time, but it’s not that difficult.”
“Huh. “If you can subdue the Northern Jin Warriors, neither Dongchang’s Grand Master nor Daenae Haengchang’s Grand Master will be a match for you.”
At that time, White Tiger’s eyes became fierce.
Then he spoke in a low voice.
“……Did you really ask this question to gauge my inaction?”
To that question, Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, hurriedly waved his hand and answered.
“no. How could the headquarters try to judge you based on something like that? You just need to know to what extent you can deal with experts…”
-widely!
Before he could even finish his words, Baekho of the Geumuiwi stood up from his seat.
Then, he stretched out one hand and with a profound force, he sucked up the sword that was lying on the floor.
Sang Ik-seo couldn’t help but be impressed by the tricks of the empty-nesterling.
As if he had intended this, the Baekho of the Geumwiwi placed the cultivated Tao into the Tao house that had been sucked into the void.
And then he said.
“Let me be clear.”
“What do you mean?”
“Here in the imperial palace, the only person I cannot do anything about is Namjin Musa.”
Namjin warrior Guseong Baek.
Known as the King of Northern Waves, he was the pinnacle of the current martial arts world and a member of the Six Heavens.
Although he was the White Tiger of the Geumuiwi, who took great pride in his inaction, he was the only one in the palace who acknowledged that he was untouchable.
The wall of six thousand was extremely strong.
However, other than that, he was confident that no one in the imperial palace could compete with him.
It was the same for all three magistrates of the Northern Jin Musa and Naegung.
“I hope you will no longer judge me based on trivial issues like this.”
-Gooooooo!
With those words, Baekho of the Geumwiwi revealed his energy towards Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer.
Sang Ik-seo’s body trembled at the breathtaking force.
He knew instinctively.
This person must be an expert in flowering techniques that can overcome walls.
As he himself boasted, there is absolutely no one in the palace who can subdue this man other than Namjin warrior Ko Seong-baek, who is called the best expert in the palace…
-thud!
At that time, the door to the office suddenly opened.
Along with him, someone came inside with a smiling face.
Seeing that face, Commander Sang Ikseo frowned and opened his mouth.
“Ho public?”
The person who suddenly burst into his office was none other than Seochang’s magistrate, Ho Gong.
Sang Ik-seo was soon unable to hide his surprise at the appearance of a completely unexpected person.
Outside the office, there were protestors standing guard.
However, even though Seochang’s chief inspector came here, no one reported his arrival and did not even notice him until the moment he opened the door.
‘Could it be that you came here secretly?’
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to enter someone else’s office so carelessly.
However, although he himself did not notice the presence of Gong Gong, one of the most powerful men in the palace, Baekho of the Geumuiwi, or rather Gyeomchang, must have noticed…..
-Sigh!
At that time, Geumuiwi Baekho Gyeomchang’s hand was already grasping his sword.
This sight caught Sang Ik-seo’s eyes.
That’s why Gyeomchang, who was confident that no one other than Namjin Musa could be his opponent, was showing strong caution when looking at Seochang’s great sense.
‘Is it because they suddenly barged in?’
But it wasn’t supposed to be like this.
No matter how suddenly the attack occurred, the opponent was the governor of Seochang and a confidant of King Gyeongchin, one of the four powerful figures in the imperial palace.
You shouldn’t treat it carelessly.
As a result, Sang Ik-seo tried to force him to step down.
“Gyeom Baekho. Insert the Tao…..”
“Chief of command. “Please step back.”
At the words of Baekho Gyeomchang of the Geumuiwiwi, Sang Ik-seo, the commanding officer, frowned.
There was something strange about Gyeomchang’s attitude.
It had been a while since he entered the imperial palace, so he should know who the person in front of him was, but his current appearance was beyond wariness and even showed hostility.
-widely!
Gyeomchang even took the stance of Baldosul.
Then, in a low voice, he opened his mouth to Ho Gong.
“Who are you?”
‘Who are you?’
What does this mean?
By all accounts, it was Ho Gong, the prefect of Seochang.
Then, the Ho Gong ignored Gyeom-chang, who was posing towards him, and looked at Sang Ikseo and opened his mouth.
“I see that there is a military archive within the body, so that person is the assistant commander.”
‘!?’
Sang Ik-seo’s expression hardened at the completely unexpected words.
At that very moment, Gyeomchang’s hand, which was holding the sword, moved.
It was so fast that it seemed like a split second.
-visor!
As soon as he heard the news, he immediately decided that it was a definite enemy and tried to cut off the head of the person in front of him with a martial arts technique that reached extreme pleasure.
No, before he even realized it, his Taoism would have cut off his head…
-Tuk! Cheonggang!
Then something fell to the floor.
The sound that fell was not one.
Something is strange.
At this, Gyeomchang’s eyes unconsciously turned downward.
‘This…what the hell…’
What fell to the floor was none other than his right hand, which was holding a sword.
