Episode 438
“Quickly answer.”
“…”
What? What do you want me to answer?
Despite Wang Jik’s scoldings, who were chasing him with fierce eyes, Jinmu only stared blankly ahead.
“this guy! Where are you selling your mind!”
“…”
Was it because I was so shocked by the appearance of Hwayangi who suddenly appeared in front of me?
The king’s voice could not be heard properly, and it hummed in his ears.
“What do you mean answer?”
“What are you talking about after you’ve already answered!”
“…”
You answered? I?
I can’t come to my senses.
He must have said something unconsciously, but…
I can’t remember anything, as if a small incident had slipped away in an instant.
“Such an insolent person!”
“…”
There was no time to care about the royal wrath.
The only thing Jinmu was looking at was the lady in the shape of Hwayangi.
There’s no law that there won’t be someone who resembles him, but Jinmu remembers it clearly.
Her soft eyes and a face that always had a warm smile.
I want to ask.
Maybe you don’t remember the Revolutionary War.
Or, if you were born as twins, would you not have a younger brother named Hwayang?
However, even in the midst of confusion, Cheongsang’s words lingered in my ears.
It was said that the royal title might be the family of the palace. It’s still doubtful, but the situation is close to certainty.
Then, is she in the form of Hwayangi a palace?
No way. As she remembers, she could never have done that.
Even if that was the case, a corner of his heart strongly denied it.
There were countless words that rose up to his throat, but Jinmu suppressed them by biting his lips.
“this guy!”
Wang Jik opened his ax eyes and glared at Jinmu.
Stay still, man.
Because I think I’m going to explode because my head is so complicated right now?
If you can, don’t touch your temper at this time.
I feel like I want to blow up the whole place right now and have a conversation with Hwayang.
“Heh heh heh Admiral, don’t be too obedient. Even if he is a hero who brought down the midfielder, he seems to be nervous because it is a personal battle with the queen mama.”
“It’s a problem to think about such a big deal…”
Wang Jik frowned at Wi Jeong-pil’s words, but the princess smiled and waved her hand.
“The sense of greatness is right. Stop Admiral Wang.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
After the advice of the queen, the royal position was abdicated. Of course, it went without saying that he shot Jinmu one more time.
“Relax and answer.”
“…”
Damn, I need to know what you said to answer.
And how do you put your mind at ease in the current situation? It’s hard to hide the rough breathing.
When Jinmu frowned, Wi Jeong-pil, who was by his side, helped.
“I hear you already met some unscrupulous people trying to disturb the political situation?”
Perhaps he was referring to the king of spirits.
Jinmu, who had barely recovered from the shock of seeing Hwayangi or a woman who looked exactly like Hwayangi at the fishy smell of blood seeping from her bitten lips, asked again.
“What do you mean shameless?”
“How can you not be shameless?”
Suddenly, Wi Jeong-pil’s presbyopia was filled with heat that seemed to set everything on fire.
“He is the person who has served the third generation of the imperial family, including the current emperor. You can tell what’s inside that sword just by looking at it.”
“…”
“They, in their lust for power, are jealous that Your Majesty favors a noble lady full of loyalty.
I’m just trying to come to my senses, but what does this mean?
Does this mean that King Yeong intends to use the crown prince to at least clean up convergence?
Looking at Wi Jeong-pil’s eyes or expression, it doesn’t feel like a lie at all… Hmm.
“Fortunately, the queen mother is using her strength to protect the imperial family against them, but her hands are not enough to stop them.”
“…”
“How are you? The princess wants to use you as a noble to fight them?”
When Jinmu did not answer, the queen beckoned lightly and signaled.
drooling.
The door opened and several men came in carrying numerous chests and opened them.
The gold and silver treasures contained in it instantly filled the room with bright light, and a man dressed in a neat official uniform held up the school paper with both hands and set it down in front of Jinmu.
“It’s a gyoji and a classmate who will make you a probation officer, Udosa.”
“….”
Even though the chests full of gold and silver treasures were not enough, it was too much to spend even if it was big enough to welcome a Moorim person instead of a Jeongi-pum that supervises the man-jo-baek-gwan.
But that wasn’t what was important to Jinmu right now.
I came to cheat like I did with the king, but all of that had been forgotten for a long time.
Prince? country? What’s the use of all that?
The only woman in my life who gave me a heart is in front of me.
I just had to check it out a bit.
is she a real hwayang?
For what reason did you become a noble?
Did you really put your body in the palace?
You need time to organize your thoughts.
If that’s the case, I’ll have to get out of here.
“It’s so overrated that it’s hard to get hold of.”
“….”
“Please give me time to think about it.”
Seeing Jinmu lowering his head and speaking with utmost respect, the royal consort and the king, Wi Jeong-pil, nodded and exchanged glances.
“Do it. I have prepared a manor for you to live in, so you can rest there.”
“Yes Mama.”
After learning that the royal position was a palace, he tried to eat it off with a stronger morale than the king.
Unexpectedly shocked and unable to say a word, Jinwu cautiously withdrew from Kunning Palace.
There are many things I want to ask and many memories to remember, but it’s not the time yet.
be waiting
I’ll be back soon.
* * *
Rattle rattle.
Three or four carts full of chests followed Jinmu as he left Gonning Palace and left the Forbidden City.
You should definitely be happy.
All those chests are treasures of gold and silver.
Normally, I couldn’t jump up and down, so I had to smile all day.
However, my heart is heavy and it is complicated like a knot tied with dozens of layers in my head.
When Jinmu, who had lost his smile, trudged outside, the party, who had been in suspense the whole time, hurriedly approached.
“Lord!”
“God!”
“Sasook!”
The faces of those who called each other by different names were full of worries and anxiety.
“Are you feeling well?”
“….”
Neung Seo-hyeon looked around Jinmu to see if there were any injuries.
“Lord, what did they say?”
“…”
I asked in frustration, but Jinmu didn’t say anything.
“Somehow, they are…”
Cheongsang asked with a suspicious look at the driver and workers pulling the cart, and Jinmu threw the hanging scroll in his hand.
“This?”
Cheongsang, who had a puzzled expression, opened his eyes wide as he carefully opened and read the scroll.
“What is this?”
Hwangshin, who read with a sidelong glance, couldn’t contain his astonishment as he hiccupped.
What can I say about other people’s expressions?
All the party members who rushed to the Hwangshin’s reaction made the same expression.
“Woo-do-sa of the provincial guard? What is this?”
“…”
Depending on how you write, a position where you can hold all the power in one hand and sleep.
However, Jinmu still did not answer and just hurriedly walked with a firm expression.
“Sasuk…”
Cheongsang was speechless at the completely different appearance of Jinmu.
In the meantime, Hwangshin pricked his ears and looked around with fierce eyes.
I know without saying
Would only the emperor feel it?
The true identity of the aura that I felt after coming out of the castle gate.
The warriors of Seochang were following them, hiding their faces, tightly surrounding them in all directions.
would be monitoring
Since he said he would consider the request of the queen, he would never reap his watchful eye until a decision was made.
“Lord, what should I do?”
Hwangshin took out a dagger and asked, but was stopped by Neungseohyun, who felt that Jinmu’s expression was not serious.
It doesn’t say anything, so it means don’t ask any more.
And Jinmu, who arrived at the huge manor on the outskirts of Suncheon-bu prepared by the queen, went straight into the room.
Cheongsang, who had been staring blankly at the tightly closed door, let out a deep sigh and said,
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Sasook like that.”
“That’s right. What the hell did you hear? I don’t even dare to put a word on it.”
Seohyeon Neung agreed with Cheongsang’s words and nodded.
“By the way… these bastards are too blatant.”
Hwangshin frowned between his brows and rolled his eyes savagely.
The guys who had followed them since leaving the castle were constantly watching them.
How good would it feel to be watched?
“Should I make a hole in the twins’ necks to help them breathe?”
“Be patient, Hwang. There’s no way my lord doesn’t know… He must have some instructions. Let’s wait for now.”
Neung Seohyeon comforted Hwangsin, who was growling low.
That was her role.
He joined Jinmu at the end of the group, but he was the highest-ranked soldier and the eldest among the party.
“It seems that you are a worker and quarreling is also part of a sin.”
“I see.”
Even Cheongsang frowned with an expression of displeasure.
But what worried them most was Jinmu.
It’s like people have changed.
“Shall I ask a question?”
“…”
As expected, after not being able to grasp the atmosphere, everyone stared fiercely at Chungwoo’s words.
“Cheongwoo.”
“Yes death penalty.”
“Never. now.”
“….”
Without knowing the reason, I stomped my feet in front of the door for a long time.
“Everybody come in.”
It was only when the darkness was at its deepest that Jinmu’s voice was heard.
Since it was the sea that came after a long thirst, everyone ran into the room without any exception.
Jinmu sits with his back upright.
Everyone sat around, looking at each other half-opened and looking at them.
It was unusual.
It’s not like I’m emitting a lot of energy, but the air in the room is pressing down on my shoulders.
Even Neung Seo-hyeon, who had endured the brutal pressure from Buk-ri-do-cheon as a member of the Demonic Cult for a long time, did not like the color of her face, perhaps because she was suffocating.
It was always a light and bright atmosphere, so everyone forgot about it for a while.
Knowing that he is the strongest person in the world…
“What can you say…” ”
…”
When Cheongsang spoke to relieve the stuffy atmosphere, Jinmu let out a sigh drawn from deep inside. I exhaled long.
At the same time, the pressure that filled the room disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“I made it difficult for nothing.”
“Oh no.”
At Jinmu’s apology, Cheongsang waved his hand and smiled awkwardly.
I’m not the kind of person who apologizes like that.
I couldn’t help but worry more because it was full of different appearances than usual.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
He exhaled his breath repeatedly, raising his energy and covering the room in layers.
It was because what I said from now on would go into the ears of the watchers and do nothing good.
Soon, as the entire room was tinged with silence, Jinmu gazed intently at Hwangshin.
“god.”
“Yes, Lord.”
“What happened to what I asked you to find out earlier?”
“which?”
The pressure disappeared, but Hwangshin, who was overwhelmed by Jinmu’s voice and atmosphere, which added calmness to calmness, couldn’t easily think of an answer and asked again.
“A woman named Hwayang.”
“ah! That’s…”
“Did you find out?”
“sorry.”
Hwangshin made a scared face and replied in a crawling voice.
I never thought I would ask about it.
when is that going to happen
I was busy during that time, and I thought it was over after being beaten up.
Like a damn stubborn human being.
Even the condition of Cheon-joo was something I had never seen before, so this time I felt like I was going to be beaten until the dust was gone.
Hwangshin hangs his shoulders weakly and prepares to be hit…
“You couldn’t find it. It must have been.”
“…”
Strange.
What is it? Why don’t you hit me?
Hwangshin was even more afraid of Jinmu’s indifference when he quietly nodded.
Why is this human doing this?
They say that if a person suddenly changes, he dies, but that hot-blooded, crazy Gaecheonju wouldn’t do that…
You’re not the real God, are you?
Are you in disguise?
