[Episode 87 Infiltration (4)]
‘Descendants of Geomseon?’
The moment I heard that, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
I was surprised when they asked if I had sent it from Dohwaseon, but now this question was closer to an attitude as if they had predicted everything.
I looked at the emperor sitting on the throne with a face full of joy.
He seemed to have been looking forward to this moment.
-How did this happen? I know your identity.
That’s right.
In this situation, there is no need to guess or anything.
From Dohwaseon to Geomseon’s descendants, there was only one person who could have known this.
– Vigilante!
I had an idea to some extent when they mentioned Yonghogeumdan, the elixir of longevity.
But I never thought that a betrayal beyond betrayal would be revealed like this.
This guy was not the kind of person that Master Geomseon thought of who cared about the people’s livelihood and had his own sense of justice.
They said it was to deceive the emperor, so they gave too much information.
This is because we were able to defend ourselves like this.
-He’s a really annoying guy.
I looked around.
As expected, there is no one.
Aside from being annoying, he is also very clever.
Of all the people I’ve dealt with so far, I think this is the first person since Zhuge Yuanming, the commander-in-chief of the Wulin League, who pushed me around with a trick.
-As a ruse?
The reason the pendulum pointed to this place in the first place was because there was a Buddhist instrument.
However, the fact that he is not here means that the Buddhist instrument, which can be said to be a treasure of the past, was used as a lure.
He was able to lay this trap because he believed that his pursuers would come because he had run away from the fuse with the Buddhist instrument.
-You’re clever.
He has the ability to make decisions based on prediction alone.
In any case, from his point of view, he would be able to kill the pursuer by sacrificing a sword and prove himself to the emperor.
At that time, the general urged him to aim closer to the end of the sword.
“You damn bastard! How could you be so rude as to stare into His Majesty’s eyes? “Why don’t you bow your head right now!”
“That’s it. General. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Your Majesty…”
“I never said that you can see into a person’s inner thoughts only by looking into their eyes.”
“…I understand.”
The general closed his mouth with a disapproving look on his face at the emperor’s words.
The emperor spoke with an expression that seemed to show mercy to me.
“Among people who are not members of the imperial family, I can count on five fingers the number of times I have looked directly at Jim’s face.”
Are you saying that I should at least be thankful?
To hear such words from a tyrant of the past who was not even the emperor of the time.
Regardless of my intentions, the emperor continued to say what he wanted to say.
“I have high expectations of you.”
“I don’t know what to expect. your majesty.”
“How dare you, Your Majesty!”
This time, General Yeom could not suppress his anger in response.
I guess I can’t forgive myself for showing rude language to the emperor.
However, this too became quiet with a single gesture from the emperor.
“Unlike other Buddhists, I like it because it’s refreshing rather than talking back and forth. “Jim also doesn’t like to ask twice.”
Contrary to his soft tone, this was a warning.
Be prepared if you don’t answer your own question.
“It’s really burdensome.”
I answered honestly.
Then the emperor smiled brightly and said:
“Hahahaha, people say I have no blood or tears, but I am a merciful person. So, didn’t Director Cho and Vice Governor Yang here also accept it?”
Those words sounded as if he was telling me to surrender and come under his control.
The emperor took a sip from the colorful gombangdae that was placed on the table next to the dragon throne, exhaled thick smoke, and spoke to me.
“The midfield is extremely chaotic. Numerous groups of weightlifters, including the so-called martial people, are shaking the very foundation of the country. “Jim wants to make this right.”
Talk about your aspirations.
History already tells everything about this.
In the end, he remained a tyrant.
“Many imperial ancestors and ancestors have tried to correct this, but they have all failed. Do you know what the reason is?”
“……What is?”
“This is because there is not enough time to maintain it. “The reason our predecessors have failed so far is not because they lacked the power to correct the discipline of the country.”
So you’re aiming for the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden?
To obtain the elixir of longevity and rule for life?
His aspirations were greater than those of other emperors, but in the end, it was not much different from saying that he wanted to overcome death.
The emperor smiled at me and said.
“But now there is a solution. “Everything he said has been proven to be true.”
“What do you mean by proof?”
“The person who called himself an apostate monk told me. “It won’t be long before Dohwaseon, the paradise of Taoists, will come to get you.”
He is an apostate monk.
Is that how you introduced yourself?
Still, he didn’t say he was a Taoist, perhaps out of shame.
I stared at the emperor and parted my lips.
“Is that apostate disciple called Ja Kyung-jeong?”
The corners of the emperor’s mouth rose at that question.
It was positive, not negative.
‘As expected.’
All of this is a trap set by vigilantism.
So how should we respond?
I shook my head for a moment and spoke in a polite voice.
“I’m sorry, but your Majesty seems to have misunderstood something.”
“misunderstanding?”
“I don’t know what the fuse you mentioned is, but it is true that, as Your Majesty said, Soin came to meet a man named Ja Kyung-jeong. “But that’s because he betrayed the monks, harmed the monks, and stole the treasure.”
Since the situation has come to this, let’s shake it up with our unique way of speaking.
Although there are people here and there are people with golden eyes, the immediate goal was self-vigilance.
We must catch him and retrieve the Buddhist instrument.
You have to somehow induce a three-way face-to-face meeting with him to have a chance.
“Are you here to catch the person who betrayed the monks?”
“That’s right. “I am sorry for disappointing you, Your Majesty, but I am also extremely embarrassed that this situation has suddenly arisen.”
The emperor looked at me intently and asked.
“Are you saying you’re not a descendant of Geomseon?”
I said slyly, looking at the emperor whose eyes were narrowing.
“He is a descendant of Geomseon… He is a monk who established a Buddhist monastery hundreds of years ago. If that is the case, then all of our capital punishment victims are descendants.”
If it was a lie, I was sick of it.
Even when Danjeon was abolished, he lied in front of Master Haeak-cheon, but wouldn’t he do it because he was afraid that he was surrounded by enemies on all sides?
I continued talking casually.
“How can you explain everything with three inches of your tongue? Please bring Vigilante and confront him. “Then your Majesty’s doubts will be answered.”
“If that person is there, the question will be solved.”
“I don’t know what words Jagyeongjeong used to deceive His Majesty, but he is so wicked that he even betrayed the master of the recluse and kidnapped the recluse. I wonder how you can trust and be moderate in such a person…”
I had no choice but to stop before I finished speaking.
The emperor’s mouth twitched and his face turned red.
Then he suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha.”
While I was wondering, the emperor stopped laughing, shook his head and said:
“This is really fun.”
“…What do you mean?”
“It’s different from other Taoists. “Everything that came out of his mouth was consistent with lies.”
“your majesty. If you bring the vigilante, everything will be…..”
-Sch!
The emperor raised his hand and pretended not to speak.
Then I snorted and said.
“It is done. “I thought he would take the burden because he seemed to have quite the guts, but I changed my mind.”
“What do you mean by that?”
The emperor spoke to the audience as if he had lost interest.
“This guy’s role is nothing more than a key to the fuse. Catch him, close the Danjeon, and lock him up until we get there.”
“I follow your orders!”
Everyone in the tent responded.
Trying to do it with words seems already wrong.
-There are times when three inches of tongue don’t communicate.
This is proof that Vigilante has laid the plan well.
Since the emperor trusts him, it seems impossible to try to do anything with words.
-Then what are you going to do?
The only solution is right in front of you.
I glanced at the emperor, who was trying to bite the gold bear’s stick, as if my interest had disappeared.
At that time, Pakungwi Chosa said to me.
“If you move even a single fingertip from that spot, I will shoot you.”
Before we know it, three arrows have been pulled out and aimed at the protesters.
The intense killing power rising from the tip of the bow makes it ready to shoot at any moment.
Likewise, Myowol Yangmingshin also took the cardinal pose and warned me.
“Even if you are a descendant of Geomseon, you must have realized that you can’t escape this position, right? “If you quietly surrender, your life will be saved.”
As the two masters, known as the twelve masters of the world, raised their energy, the surroundings became filled with true energy.
I sighed at their warning.
“Whoa.”
The general, who felt uncomfortable seeing this, stretched his sword closer to me and shouted.
“It’s cruel. “I have to cut off your arrogant eyes and tongue first…”
“Your Majesty.”
I cut him off and called the emperor.
At this, the emperor raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
“In terms of military strategy, if you were trapped in the middle of enemy territory, what do you think would be the solution?”
“You guy…you can’t believe it now…”
“Yes, that’s right. “It’s about catching the leader.”
‘!!!’
The general and General Yeom, who could not control their anger at my words, swung their swords and swords at the same time.
“This guy!”
“dare!”
-Chaenggang!
‘!?’
At that moment, the expressions of the general and General Yeom became almost similar.
Both of their eyes widened in shock.
This is because the swords they swung were broken while they were still stuck in the index and middle fingers of both hands.
“this!”
I was shocked for a moment, and the general, a supreme expert and experienced veteran, put his sword in his hand and quickly kicked me in the neck.
-Park!
Unfortunately it’s slow for me.
I snatched his foot.
“Huh?”
And as soon as he grabbed my ankle, I used all my strength and flew it somewhere.
That was the direction where Pagongwi Chosa was located.
-Papa pak!
“Kwaaaak!”
A scream burst from the general’s mouth.
The moment I moved, as warned, Chosa Pagungwi fired an arrow, and all three shots hit the general’s body.
Chosa shouted in surprise, as if he didn’t know that he would stop like this in an instant.
“General!”
Either way, I was so surprised that I threw my weapon backwards and kicked General Yeom in the chest as he tried to avoid me.
-Wood!
“Ugh!”
Even though it was wearing armor, General Yeom’s new model was thrown backwards with the sound of bones breaking.
The place where he bounced was none other than Myowol Yang Myeong-shin, who had been throwing a new punishment at me.
The two-faced god had no choice but to accept him, as he could not avoid or ward off him, who was no different from his ally.
At that moment, his new brother was pushed back together.
“Anit?”
-Chrrrrrr!
It was a tactic of war-fighting.
General Yeom was traumatized, but the aftereffects of his exploits were directed to Yang Myeong-shin.
It was only a split second, but it was enough for me.
I extended my weapon towards the emperor.
“Protect Your Majesty!”
“Stop him!”
Then, the civil servants who were nearby the emperor brandished their daggers and launched a new weapon.
They were all experts at their peak, but
when I glanced at them, they all rolled their eyes at once and collapsed.
-dump! dump!
There was no need to waste time.
“How is this?”
Even the emperor was surprised when they fell without even touching them.
Likewise, the man with the golden eyes, who was covering his eyes with a black cloth, who was astonished by this situation, hurriedly struck me with a new weapon.
“I cannot approach Your Majesty.”
I said to him mockingly.
“Why is a man with clear eyes acting blind?”
‘!?’
Geum-an, who had covered his eyes at those words, paused, perhaps because he was momentarily embarrassed.
In response, like a flash of lightning, I reached out for the black cloth covering his eyes.
Then the guy was embarrassed and threw his head back.
‘Now is the time.’
That wasn’t what I was aiming for.
When we met at Bonglimgok, I was no match for him in terms of strength.
But what if it were now?
-puck!
My hand, which had been stretched out as if to remove the cloth, suddenly struck his chest.
Geum-an, who noticed Byeoncho, tried to cross his arms urgently, but my strike was much faster.
-puck!
“Ugh!”
Fresh blood burst out from Geuman’s mouth as the fist was stuck in his chest.
Instead of stopping there, I swung my body around and struck his right shoulder with a kick.
This time he raised his wrist to block it, but his new model bounced off.
“Anit!”
An embarrassed cry burst out from the mouth of Miao Yue Yang Mingxin.
After putting down General Yeom, I fired a new weapon to stop me, but someone else flew in.
– Wow!
“Inooooom!”
As if it wouldn’t work twice, Yang Myeong-shin dodged the blindfolded golden-eyed man.
Then, he flew a new model at me and performed a splendid herbivorous ceremony.
-Whwihwihwihwi!
That wasn’t all.
Without shooting an arrow, the Pakungwi Chosa rushed towards me, swinging his large bow like a sword, and the black-faced guard, who was presumed to be a lord who was guarding the emperor’s side, drew his sword and launched a divine weapon.
“Let’s subdue it through joint attacks!”
“I understand!”
The three masters who had climbed over the wall boldly gave up competing one-on-one to protect the emperor and simultaneously took the form of a joint attack.
‘It’s a waste of time to deal with them one by one. If you do…’
-Chaeng!
The three of them were only about three paces away from each other.
At that moment, I pulled out the Namcheon Iron Sword and lifted it upward.
-Pachichichichichik!
An unusual incident occurred at Namcheon Cheolgeom.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt of blue light occurred and the sword was bent.
The eyes of the three people who flew the new model widened.
‘Raegeomcheondun!’
Maximizing the power of the sword by loading it with brain energy.
That was the essence of Noegeomcheondun.
‘Shinro’s name sword method, the 4th second type Hoeryongseunggeom!’
-Pachichichichichik!
The blue thunderbolt of lightning spun rapidly and surged upwards, rushing back and forth like a whirlwind.
The three masters tried to stop this with a fierce battle, but
– Pachichichichik!
With the power of the sword and even the brain energy added, its power was unimaginable.
As they tried to stop the herbivorous attack in any way possible, they caught the sword loaded with thunderbolts a few times and were soon thrown back as if thrown back.
“Huh!”
“Tsk!”
-Chrrrrrr!
-Pachyk! Pachyk!
Blue lightning sparks continued to fly from the weapons and bodies of the three masters who were pushed back more than ten steps, and they were unable to move for a moment as if they had been greatly shocked.
-Pachichichik!
Like experts who have overcome a barrier, they quickly relieve brain energy through the Yongcheonhyeol of the soles of their feet through deep internal energy.
But when they resolved it, they said,
“If you don’t want to see the Emperor’s head blown off, you had better not move from that spot.”
‘!!!’
My sword was touching the emperor’s neck.
