Part 2 Episode 66
I did it, I did it
Hyejin repeated Zhao’s words.
‘The King of Darkness, one of the Five Kings, is the master of the Great Council of Zhao?’
No matter how limited your knowledge is, how could you not know the nickname of King of Darkness?
Isn’t he a mythical being who is regarded as one of the best players in the central region with the status of a assassin who is looked down upon in the martial arts world?
‘I guess that’s why Zhao Dahyeop’s abilities were so amazing.’
Only now I could fully understand why he drilled holes in the boats of Yanhuachai on the Yangtze River and drowned four of them, and how he burned the Jinzhou family alone in Liaoning.
‘But what is the English letter? When Dan Zhou asked Zhao Daxia to deal with Jin Zhou Hua, this is the name he brought up, saying that since he was from a spirit person, he could do something like that… … .’
Zhao glanced at Jeong Gwang, who was lost in thought, and explained it to Hye Jin.
“The Yeonginmun sect is unrivaled in espionage and assassination. “It is known to have been extinct for a long time, but it continued to exist under the guise of a sect called Pacheonbang (破天幇).”
Hye-jin had never asked about Zhao’s past because she thought about him, but when he told her this, her curiosity arose and she had no choice but to ask.
“There was such a secret. Why did you pretend to be extinct? If you’re uncomfortable, it’s okay not to say anything.”
Zhao waved his hand.
“What’s there to be uncomfortable about? “This is because a few generations ago, Lord Wen attempted to assassinate Emperor Yuan but failed.”
“ah! “I guess I had to do that to avoid Won’s pursuit.”
“you’re right. Moreover, even after Daeming took over the world, he was unable to appear again. “Even though he is the ancestor of a foreign nation, isn’t he a sect that tried to assassinate the emperor?”
“understand. Since there is such a precedent, no royal dynasty would be pleased. Is Zhao Dahyo still a part of the Younginmun?”
Zhao’s eyes sank deeply.
“no. Let me explain the situation roughly. I was born 43 years ago in Jing’an County, Guizhou Province, as the eldest of three sons and daughters… … .”
Hyejin’s eyes widened.
Is it even possible to go back 43 years even though I said I would give a rough explanation?
Fortunately, Jeong Gwang, who was lost in thought, intervened.
“Even while the spirit world was pretending to be extinct, the nickname ‘King of Darkness’ became widespread because Master Zhao was active, right?”
“That’s right.”
“I guess you like killing?”
“Rather than that, you expressed it as a sense of accomplishment.”
“A person like that would be worthy of trying to assassinate the Emperor. He accomplishes what his predecessors could not accomplish. “There is nothing more appealing than that.”
Zheng Guang shook his head and then asked Zhao.
“Why didn’t you kill Zhao even though he escaped? “I could reveal the secrets of English literature.”
Zhao answered with an embarrassed face.
“When I was young, I thought he ran away to the Sima Lian Commandery and couldn’t be chased, but looking back, that was ridiculous.”
“Do you have a lot of compassion?”
“… … Except when I killed the big brother and the third brother, he never showed me a smile.”
“It’s not like you don’t exist at all.”
“… … “He probably believed that I wasn’t that stupid and wouldn’t say anything myself.”
Jeong Gwang also admitted it.
“but. “If it were revealed that young Zhao was from the English Literature, there would be a lot of people who would take away his secrets and bury him.”
“Actually, I didn’t learn much so I don’t know much. “Moreover, I think it’s because he has the confidence to kill me and them and extract himself at any time if a problem arises.”
“Still, it would have been cleaner to kill Zhao. Why did he do that? ah. do not misunderstand. “I’m not doing this because I’m sad.”
Zheng Guang pushed his doubts to the back of his mind and stared straight at Zhao.
“Zhao.”
“Yes, sobriety.”
“Can you fight the King of Darkness?”
“I can’t.”
Zhao, who answered without a moment of hesitation, added quickly.
“I’m not saying I don’t want to fight, I’m just saying I don’t have the ability to do so.”
“It means you have the will.”
“of course.”
“Then that’s it. Now let’s talk about how the Dark King will come out… … this.”
Jeong Gwang frowned.
“His Majesty the Crown Prince has arrived and is looking for me. “I will come back, so please rest.”
As soon as Jeong Gwang’s new form disappeared, Hyejin expressed her admiration.
“Zhao Grand Gorge. “You are truly amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
Hyejin explained softly to Zhao, whose eyes were blank.
“I still can’t face the past squarely, but aren’t you facing it confidently?”
Zhao, who only then understood, smiled bitterly.
“Honestly, I don’t know if I can do it.”
“yes? But obviously… … .”
As Hyejin trailed off, Zhao puffed out his chest.
“I have no intention of doing so, but I am saying that I will find out only when I get there. However, I want to do that and I will do my best to make it happen, so it will work out somehow. “I’d like to think so.”
“… … ah!”
Hyejin came to a small realization.
Isn’t this in line with Jeong Gwang’s teachings?
What can I do if I just worry?
All you have to do is believe that it will happen, work hard, see the results, and try again.
‘Even though Zhao Dahyeop is in a situation where he has to fight his master, he is burning his will like this. ‘Why did I think I was the only one who was having a hard time and suffering?’

A sense of self-reproach came over her, but Hyejin soon came to her senses.
‘Don’t try to be shaken, but every time you shake, trust me and correct me.’
Hyejin expressed her gratitude to Zhao for enlightening her.
“thank you. “Thanks to you, I learned something I didn’t know before.”
Zhao’s eyes sparkled.
“We haven’t even started properly yet. What are you talking about?”
“… … yes?”
Zhao’s mouth moved flashily.
“Did I tell you that I was born as the eldest of three sons and daughters? After that… … .”
* * *
Hwang Tae-son, who returned with the deputy commander, smiled when Jeong Gwang appeared.
“haha. “I was already looking for you, but did you come when you heard my voice?”
“Yes, sir. “How was the assembly?”
“There hasn’t been much change from yesterday. Ah, there’s that.”
“What is it?”
“haha. It’s not that great. “Your Majesty the King has submitted an appeal to the Emperor.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“The message was that I wanted to visit Princess Yeongpyeong in hospital, so I was asked to grant permission.”
“I was warned not to act rashly, so I wonder if I should get permission for something like that. “Did the Emperor give permission?”
Emperor Taesun slightly raised both palms.
“It is in accordance with the laws of heaven, so there is no reason to refuse it, is there?”
“Yes, of course.”
“After telling me to pay more attention to Taehyung, he gave permission. “Your Majesty will enter the palace tomorrow morning.”
An interesting light appeared in Jeong Gwang’s eyes.
The royal royal highnesses probably refer to King Zhu Zhou of Han and King Zhou of Cao Gan.
‘I’ve seen King Han once, but I haven’t seen King Jogan yet. ‘Let’s take a look and see what kind of person he is.’
However, I can’t ask Hwang Tae-son if I can leave tomorrow morning.
It was obvious that the Crown Prince would become suspicious of Princess Yeongpyeong.
Then I have no choice but to ask it another way.
“Lowering. When is the assembly tomorrow?”
“Due to the current situation, it is opened irregularly. “Tomorrow is the afternoon.”
this.
You won’t be able to leave your seat.
‘Hyejin is also a problem.’
Jeong Gwang recalled the eyebrows of the King of Han, Zhou Fu, who looked exactly like Hye Jin.
‘I wonder if I can remain calm even after meeting my father.’
That’s something to check.
After consoling Hwang Tae-son for his hard work, he returned to his room.
“Hyejin Sojeo.”
Hyejin, who had been waiting, answered.
“Yes, sobriety.”
“It’s time to go to Wan’an Palace, right?”
“Yes, but. “What are you doing?”
“It is said that His Majesty the King will visit Manan Palace tomorrow morning.”
“… … !”
“I want to go and see how they are doing, but I think it will be difficult to move. Hyejin Sojeo, are you okay?”
“… … .”
Because Hyejin was intelligent, she understood what Jeonggwang meant.
‘Are you already guessing that far? After all, you’re sober.’
It means that he will be okay with seeing his father who abandoned him.
Hyejin calmed her shaking mind and answered clearly.
“of course.”
“hmm.”
Is the will in my heart engraved in my eyes?
Jeong Gwang, who was quietly looking into her eyes, grinned.
“It’s good. So, please take a look at who they are. “Please keep an eye on us to see if we are acting strangely.”
“I will definitely live up to your expectations, Danju.”
Hyejin straightened her back and headed to Manan Palace.
I wasn’t sure if I could really remain calm after seeing my father, but like Zhao said, I wanted to do that and I would do my best to make that happen, so I believed that somehow it would work out.
‘I don’t like thinking too long. ‘I do it because I can.’
When we arrived at Manan Palace, we were greeted by Sohye, who seemed to be feeling frustrated and came out of the room to look up at the stars in the sky.
“Bulchwigeom. “Are you here?”
“Forgive me for being late.”
While Hyejin was bowing, her heart was shaken when she saw the wound on Sohye’s lip.
‘Hey, that’s it! ‘That’s what the lay monks used to talk about when they were in Emei Mountain!’
A bit of a surprise.
Is it thanks to Jeong Gwang and Zhao’s advice?
‘no. The sober drinker I knew wouldn’t have taken the initiative in the first place.’
I immediately calmed down and asked.
“You hurt your lip. “Has something bad happened?”
“ah. “It’s no big deal.”
It’s not a big deal.
It might be different if it were anywhere else, but if the injured area was the lip, wouldn’t it be a different story?
“I am in charge of Soje’s escort. I never thought something like this would happen while I was away for a while… … .”
“It’s not your fault, so don’t blame yourself.”
Hyejin felt like her heartbeat was getting louder, but she pretended not to care and asked in passing.
“If that’s the case, I’m glad. “Is it possibly related to the True Jade Dragon?”
For a moment, Sohye had no idea what to say.
It’s true that I unconsciously bitten Jeong-gwang because I felt like he was going to hurt me, but couldn’t I tell him that?
As Sohye hesitated, Hyejin’s misunderstanding deepened.
‘I did it, I did it. Because of how violently it was done, the injury… … .’
My immobility and everything else was gone.
Strangely, my stomach was boiling.
But my head became surprisingly cold.
‘It’s not my business to be angry, so what am I doing?’
I immediately calmed down and politely handed him over.
“I apologize if I sounded prying. However, please understand that my mission is a mission.”
Hye-jin’s emotional change was so rapid that So-hye didn’t even notice and expressed her respect.
“An apple? I just want to thank you for your concern. “I’m glad that Bulchwigeom didn’t have any injuries.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
Sohye felt embarrassed for a moment.
How can you say that you were disrespectful to the True Jade Dragon and thought that the True Jade Dragon would not leave you alone?
‘I don’t interact with people much, so the more I talk, the more mistakes I make. ‘I have to be careful.’
Sohye scolded herself internally and then explained softly.
“I was just saying that I was glad that you looked healthy even though you had been through a lot all day. But I guess I can’t express it properly because I’m not good at words. sorry.”
Hyejin’s heart boiled again.
‘You hurt your lip because of your sobriety, but you’re saying I’m lucky that it’s fine?’
But I didn’t want to show it.
“no. Still, I’m glad the wound isn’t that bad. The wind is cold so stop going in. “I will guard in the next room.”
“thank you. See you tomorrow then. “Sleep comfortably.”
“… … .”
Comfortable?
Hyejin couldn’t sleep at all.
I didn’t know why, but my mind felt empty.
‘Why are you doing this? Was it this burdensome to meet the person who gave birth to me and abandoned me? It can’t be like this. I am OK. ‘Nothing’s wrong.’
Hyejin instinctively pushed away thoughts of Jeonggwang and Sohye and only worried about her father.
And finally, when morning comes.
Two men who had no idea or need to know about Hyejin’s circumstances visited Manan Palace with armed guards.
They were King Zhu Jufu of Han and Zhu Xiu King of Jogan.
“I meet Your Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Jogan.”
Behind Sohye, who came out to meet them, Hyejin, who was trying to avoid eye contact as much as possible, focused her gaze on one of the two royal kings.
The eyebrows of both royal kings looked exactly like Hyejin’s, but I could tell right away.
This was not the King of Han, Zhu Hu, as Zheng Guang had mistaken earlier.
It was Joganwang Joosu.
