< Episode 60: Confidential Mission (3) >
There were 87 women wearing silver in the imperial palace’s internal register.
It also meant that there were 87 people who received titles such as a wise man, a nobleman, a nobleman, a concubine, and a noblewoman.
Among these many concubines, there were two concubines who were most favored by the emperor.
One of them was Seo Hwang Gwi-bi (皇貴妃), Western Hyo.
The emperor’s love for her was so great that her seven-year-old child became the crown prince, surpassing the empress’s grown children.
Because of this, she became one of the four people who wielded omnipotent power in the imperial palace.
Ganyang, the leader of the advance team, stretched out four fingers, then folded them one by one and spoke.
“The four people with the greatest power in the imperial palace of Tangjin are King Gyeongqin, the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, and Xiang Yunpa, a minister who also serves as the Grand Master of the Three Dukes and the Admiral of the Central Capital Territory. “There is the emperor’s second prince, King Zong, who was the strongest candidate for the throne, and Queen Dowager Xu, the mother of the current crown prince.”
The reason he listed them so slowly was because Mo Kyung-un said he had no idea about the forces and power structure of the imperial palace.
Mok Gyeong-un, who lived only in the mountains, learned a lot from books, but he did not know much about how the current central government, as well as the martial arts world, worked.
“So, one of the four people with the most power in the imperial palace is Queen Dowager Seo.”
“you’re right.”
“Why is someone like that helping us?”
Mo Gyeong-un questioned whether he did not understand.
I heard that the relationship between the imperial palace and the martial arts world had improved a lot, but the non-aggression pact was still the same and only the martial arts kingdom was actively interacting with the imperial palace.
But why is it that Queen Dowager Seo, one of the powerful figures in the palace, is helping the Cheonjihoe, which was once at odds with the palace and Jeongdo martial arts?
I was puzzled, but Yubong spoke in a quiet voice as if it was a secret.
“We were the ones who supported her from the time she was a noblewoman until she became the current Empress Dowager Seo.”
“The Cheonjihoe supported Queen Hwang?”
“yes. That’s right.”
‘Hoo.’
It seems that having a plan wasn’t just empty talk.
If Queen Seo Hwang received the support of the Heaven and Earth Council to reach her current position, it would be difficult for her to just ignore the request for help.
At that time, Apostolic Monk Jae-jeong, who was sipping liquor from a gourd with his arms crossed and a disapproving look on his face, spoke.
“joy. “You may grant a request that is reasonable, but will you grant a favor that will affect your position?”
“……..”
Everyone in the advance team seemed to deny his words and did not respond.
Then Ganyang spoke.
“That’s true what the magician says. “When people stand on high ground, it’s easy to forget all the hardships they went through to climb up.”
“So there is a possibility of rejection?”
“I won’t deny it. The current Consort Seo is not the former Consort Seo. “Because she is the crown prince’s mother, we have reached a position where it is difficult to put pressure on her.”
When a concubine becomes the mother of a crown prince, the title of emperor is added to that of a concubine.
From then on, it was as if he had extremely omnipotent power.
Accordingly, from the perspective of the Cheonjihoe, they were not happy that she, whom they had supported for a long time, had reached such a position. In a sense, it was out of control.
“It has to be mutually beneficial.”
“you’re right. That is why it is necessary to have an audience with Queen Hwang in advance. “Luckily for her, you guys came as a latecomer this time, so she meets her requirements.”
“Requirements? “Have we already talked about it?”
Nie Chun asked curiously.
Yubong answered that question.
“yes. “Because we can’t ask a powerful person, such as the Empress Dowager, who holds the highest position in the internal affairs department, to immediately grant our demands.”
“……If you say so, what do you mean by that requirement?”
“Just like the large and small factions of Jeongdo Moorim, I asked them to send out proper late-stage exponents raised by the association.”
Mongmuyak clicked his tongue at Yubong’s answer.
Mok Gyeong-un asked this.
“Why are you doing that?”
“As expected, you are not an ordinary woman.”
“yes?”
“Requesting that we send a proper review index to this association is no different from telling us to move forward from the bright side, not from the background or the dark side, through Ganja.”
Nie Chun also spoke as if he was shocked by those words.
“under! “Even if you provide help, you are trying to prevent a situation in which you will be harmed.”
“It seem to be like that.”
In the case of ganja, the tail can be cut off if necessary.
The situation is different when a later member of the Hana Association is officially dispatched.
If a problem arises, not only is it difficult to fix it, but you end up in a situation where you have to take responsibility.
-What do you think?
Cheongryeong asked Mo Gyeong-un.
Mok Gyeong-un sighed and said.
-You are a clever woman.
-I guess so. When an official move is made, of course the person who has to pay attention is the person who has to ask for the favor. Moreover, if something goes wrong, you have to take responsibility. I just want to make sure of that.
-That’s not all.
-That’s not all?
-yes.
-I’m full.
-Are you full?
-yes.
-Ahhh. Did you mean that?
Cheongryeong understood what Mokgyeongun meant when he said those words.

A hungry person is bound to say regretful things because of hunger, but when the hunger goes away, the situation changes.
I don’t want to complain anymore and I don’t want to be put on a leash.
Considering this, it is not a question of whether she, now in power, will obediently comply with the request.
Mok Kyung-un opened his mouth.
“We raised it, but it’s no longer something we can control as we want.”
Ganyang said in agreement with those words.
“So we have to appease them to some extent and get what we want. That is the key to this mission.”
Yubong laughed at Ganyang’s words and added,
“But you don’t have to worry too much. Lady Seo Hwang, who watched her, has not forgotten the help she received from the Association. “She just wants to prevent any negative influence on herself and the crown prince, so if we can reassure her of that, she will be of great help to us.”
Everyone nodded at these words.
In any case, their purpose was not to do anything to the imperial palace through Queen Dowager Seo.
I was just trying to complete the mission given by the council.
While everyone was understanding this, Mok Gyeong-un looked alternately at Ganyang and Yubong, the advance team members, with strange eyes.
But he didn’t say anything special.
After letting the advance team know how the confidential mission would proceed, the second team decided to take a break for about an hour since they had not been able to rest even once on the way here.
* * *
Nie Chun collapsed from fatigue and Meng Wuyak was having a fortune-telling breakfast.
Jae-jae-jeong spent his time eating the roasted roe deer meat the advance team had as a snack and sipping alcohol from a gourd.
In a quiet place a little away from the Gwanje Temple, Cheongnyeong came out of the wooden doll for the first time in a while, brandishing a gombangdae and showing something to Mokgyeongun.
It was none other than Geomcho.
Mok Gyeong-un, who was looking at this, let out an exclamation.
“iced coffee!”
This sword sword that Cheongnyeong is unfolding was the sword style of Wol.
However, Wol’s swordsmanship has changed.
It has become more precise and thorough than Wol’s swordsmanship that she originally taught.
In addition, the sword technique has undergone much more complex changes and has evolved into a sword sword that can deceive and drive opponents.
Cheongryeong, who showed off Wol’s advanced swordsmanship, said:
-How do you feel?
“There are no gaps in Geomcho.”
-Is that it?
“There have been a lot of changes, making Geomcho more difficult to deal with.”
At those words, Cheongnyeong smiled and nodded.
-right. After looking at the old man’s swordsmanship on the boat, I felt like I knew what Wol’s swordsmanship was lacking. So, while I was throwing it away, I supplemented it.
“That’s great.”
-You must have memorized everything, right?
“yes.”
-If you do this, forget what came before.
“yes. “Of course.”
There was a need to remember that there were flaws when there were improved sword techniques.
Cheongnyeong put the stick in his mouth and said, puffing out smoke.
-But sentient beings, you also saw the old man’s sword like I did, but didn’t you realize anything?
“Enlightenment?”
-okay. Did you not realize anything when you looked at that sword?
The sword that the old man showed me on board was truly shocking.
Accordingly, Cheongryeong looked at this and made up for the lack of Wol’s black food and supplemented herbivorous food, evolving it closer to perfection.
I was confident that I would have completely surpassed that bastard’s swordsmanship by now.
Even he himself must have achieved this realization, but it would be a lie if this sentient being said he didn’t realize anything even after seeing it.
This guy’s talent was at a level that even he couldn’t guess.
I wonder how that sword would have approached this sentient being.
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un pulled out his evil sword.
-Sreung!
And he used the sword for the first time in his life.
Cheongryeong looked puzzled and asked.
-What is that?
The cardinal ritual that Mo Kyung-un was taking now was neither the old man’s nor his own moon ritual.
In response to her question, Mok Gyeong-un said,
“Originally, there were a total of four swords needed for one second of the month. But this time, two expressions were added to create a harmony of six expressions.”
At those words, Cheongnyeong raised the corners of his mouth and said.
-okay. Originally, it was thought that four types of food were most suitable for one herbal food and that was the limit, but that was just a stereotype. If necessary, you can add more food to vary the herbivorous diet and compensate for weaknesses.
She thought that six ceremonies were the most ideal.
What has been improved in this way is the current monthly inspection.
“yes. “When I saw that, I realized there was no need to be caught up in stereotypes.”
At those words, a strange look appeared in the young man’s eyes.
-Are you saying…that you supplemented Geomcho like I did?
“no. “Cheongnyeong is even better at Wol’s swordsmanship, so there’s no need for me to supplement it.”
-What if you do it?
“I was just thinking about what I thought would be the most efficient and ideal geomcho.”
-Wait…are you sure?
Is this guy saying that he created Geomcho himself?
Creating Geomcho was by no means a simple task.
It is not limited to simply swinging, but the expression of herbivory through the harmony of forms, the sword intention that can put thoughts into the sword, and the fortune that is most suitable for herbivory and can maximize its power. This was only possible when all three elements, including the route, were met.
When this reaches a level where it is possible, it is said to have reached the level of mastery.
‘I also overcame the wall and created the Wol Sword Style by refining it with him over several years.’
However, no matter how much he saw such an incredible sword, it was beyond common sense for a guy who had only recently learned martial arts to invent a sword on his own.
however,
-Sigh!
Mok Gyeong-un began to move his sword slowly.
As if drawing strokes with a brush, Mok Gyeong-un followed a completely different path from Wol’s sword stroke.
-Wow!
The first inspection was simple.
It was just a horizontal drawing, and the second sword stroke was also a vertical drawing.
However, as the search continued, the changes became more noticeable.
Wol’s swordsmanship consisted of a total of 24 swordsmanship, and originally four swordsmen were combined for each herbivorous meal, but now the change has been further increased by combining six swordshiks for a total of 30 swordsmen’s meals.
-Wow! Chop clap!
The number of inspections showing tree cultivation exceeded 10.
Due to the nature of the weapon called a sword, there was a harmony between stabbing and cutting.
Then, of course, overlapping expressions will inevitably appear.
Among the inspections showing Mokgyeong-un, about half were similar to Wol’s inspection.
But at some point, the swordsmanship changed.
-Chachchach! Okay! Okay!
The sword’s path continues at a completely unexpected angle.
Seeing this, Cheongnyeong couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
I got the feeling that each of Mok Gyeong-un’s sword techniques did not overlap in any way.
‘There’s no need to do it that differently.’
Since the sentient being had no experience in this kind of thing, it seemed like it would be too difficult to come up with a sword method.
If things continued that way, herbivorous eating would inevitably become difficult.
It had to be made by combining swords and swords, but except for the heat of the beginning, it seemed difficult to know how to combine them.
-Wow!
“Whoa.”
There were a total of 24 swordsmanships that Mok Gyeong-un showed.
Cheongryeong, who saw this, clicked his tongue and said.
-There is no need to change the trajectory. If you create a sword formula like that, the sword formulas that can be used will eventually become redundant, and the remaining sword formulas will be discarded.
“no. “I will use it all.”
-There is no need to be greedy with things like this. rebirth.
“is that so?”
-Not all trajectories overlap also ends up being caught up in stereotypes. If you really realize something, don’t get caught up.
“That’s what I plan to do.”
-Are you hearing it with your ears again? Tsk tsk.
Anyway, I am very stubborn.
Cheongnyeong thought there was no point in saying anything more.
If you combine the swords you created like that, you will eventually realize that what you say is right.
At that time, Mok Gyeong-un took a stance again.
Then,
“This will be your first herbivore.”
It was that moment.
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chak!
Mok Gyeong-un continued his diet and began eating herbivores.
However, as Cheongryeong looked at this, his eyes trembled like crazy.
‘no?’
He was curious about what kind of combination of methods would be used to achieve herbivory, but the result that overturned all expectations was now unfolding in the hands of Mok Gyeong-un.
Cheongnyeong was dumbfounded for a moment.
Naturally, I thought it would be a combination of at most four to six of the 24 expressions.
However, the combination of swordsmanship that Mok Gyeong-un is using now,
‘You’re harmonizing all twenty-four sword eating habits into one herbivorous diet?’
It was a combination of swordsmanship that completely overturned existing common sense.
24 numerous non-overlapping tracks are unfolding at an incredible speed and forming into one,
-Choo! Chop! Chop! Chop!
It was an all-out attack with no gaps whatsoever.
After spreading the grass like this, breath flowed out of Mok Gyeong-un’s mouth.
The hand holding the sword was trembling because performing twenty-four rituals at once was causing strain on the muscles.
‘!!!!!!!’
Cheongryeong, looking at this, was at a loss for words.
When I told him not to be limited by stereotypes, he created a herbal diet that went beyond common sense.
‘This guy… he’s really crazy.’
