Episode 817. Dong Yu -soo, the Namjin warrior of
Heaven Outside Two Seon and Heaven Outside Swordsman, couldn’t believe what he had heard, so he only blinked his eyes with a dazed face for a moment.
Did you personally ask for a special title and become the ‘Emperor’s Sword’?
The commander’s words came as a shock to him, who did not know the situation in the imperial palace.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Dong Yoo-soo quickly straightened his posture at the commander-like words.
“Oh no. It’s such an unconventional statement that I can’t believe it even after hearing it with my own ears.”
Then, the shape smiled.
“What do you want to do with this?”
“Honestly, I don’t have that kind of heart.”
“Do you want to know?”
He stared at Dong Yu-soo with deep-shaped eyes.
It was a gaze that said that if you know this, you can’t go back to the previous you.
Dong Yu-soo hesitated for a moment.
Due to the nature of the Geumuiwi, if you know a lot of secrets, you are close to power, but it was dangerous.
In particular, the emperor’s ‘request’ remarks and ‘life-and-death’ eroded the emperor’s authority, and the danger was difficult to express in words.
Dong Yoo-soo, who hesitated, answered in a determined tone.
“yes.”
If the question was meant to be informed anyway, it was polite for the commander to respond.
The shape said to the gold guards who were guarding the surroundings.
“Retreat a hundred paces and be vigilant.”
“Johnny.”
The golden guards guarding Baekryongjeon retreated within 100 paces.
After checking the surroundings several times, the shape’s mouth opened.
“Two years ago, when a famous religious leader made a great achievement, the emperor summoned him and congratulated him. To be precise, he couldn’t refuse to ask for an audience. It was because they were in control of the Border Expeditionary Force. Anyway, at that time, there were two people who entered the imperial palace following the famous religious leader. Even the famous religious leaders of the world had a hard time with those two. The famous religious leader introduced the two of them as two out of the heavens.”
“Are you out of the ordinary?”
“It was a nickname I had never heard of before, but their abilities were beyond my imagination. Because neither the golden guards who guarded the palace nor the golden army could even touch their collars.”
“Are you saying you mobilized even the Golden Army?”
“Yes. Myeongmok said he would demonstrate martial arts in front of the emperor, but it was not a simple demonstration of martial arts. Geumuiwi and Geumgun were defeated by those two. From that day on, Chen Oui-seon settled in the imperial palace. Embarrassingly, there was nothing the Geumuiwiwi could do. The famous religious leader who carried them on his back asked for just one thing.”
“Did you mean to declare the famous religion as the religion of the country?”
“It is as you say. After that, famous religion became the religion of the patriots, and the Golden Council had to work for them. The fortunate thing is that Cheon Oui-seon was not greedy for the position of emperor. They locked themselves in the Changchun Hall and did not move, as if they were in retirement.”
“ah!”
A sigh escaped Dong Yu-soo’s mouth.
To think that such a colossal thing had happened in the imperial palace while it was being released!
“The Emperor is counting on Yeonjeokha. On the contrary, he couldn’t hide his joy at the report that Yeon Jeok-he had destroyed the army of the four kings. The reason why he personally gave him the nickname ‘Overseas Swordsman’ was because he had in mind ‘Outside the Heavens’.”
“Namjin has been using the nickname Cheonoegeomseon for a long time. I thought that’s why you said it was an out-of-the-way inspection.
“Everyone who has a relationship with Yiseon is a being who transcends the royal family. They are beings that the son-in-law’s army, let alone the gold army, cannot handle. That’s why the emperor dared to use the expression ‘request’.”
“…”
Dong Yoo-soo’s face hardened.
I thought it was an undeserved offer to Yeon Jeok-ha, but it seems that it was my own misunderstanding.
“Does Daein-nim think that the Golden Army will not be able to withstand the enemies?”
“Looking at the foreign line, the Yeon Jeok River will not be able to be stopped by the golden army.”
Dong Yoo-soo, who was looking at the conductor with a blank face, hurriedly said,
“Yesterday, Jin Woo-saeng So-gi and his wife were captured in Namjin. Shouldn’t we release and deal with the enemy before he finds out?”
“It’s true that you have to deal with it, but you don’t have to be in too much of a hurry.”
“I want to know why there is no need to rush.”
Dong Yoo-soo looked at the commander with a puzzled face.
I had to get it back quickly because it had happened, but I didn’t understand that I shouldn’t be in a hurry.
“Unlike Yi Seon Cheon, Yeon Jeok Ha has blood relatives to protect. Wouldn’t it be more advantageous for negotiations if Yeonjeokhe knew about it? So don’t be in a hurry.”
“But it can also backfire.”
“So I ordered to treat Jin Woo-saeng and his wife with respect. Tomorrow, you will be confined in a separate building, not in prison, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“Can Namjin take over the management of the annex?”
“I will instruct you to do so if you wish.”
“I heard that Jin Woo-saeng was treated harshly in Bukjin.”
“Their disposition will also come later. So far, because of the out-of-the-way line, Bukjin has neglected whatever it did. If Yeon Jeok-ha accepts the emperor’s offer, I will settle it at once, but if he does not accept it, I will leave it alone. Make that point known to Yeonjeokha as well.”
Indirectly, it is to say that Jin Woo-saeng’s life may become difficult.
“I will do as you command.”
“It’s a fight over the pay scale, so leave for Mt. Cheongseong immediately. When you arrive at Dujiangyan, someone who will guide you to Yeonjeokha will come to you.”
“yes.”
Dong Yoo-soo stood up from his seat, greeted the commander, and immediately left Baekryongjeon.
***
There is a saying that the world has changed when you wake up.
Jin Woo-saeng and Yoo-hwa Lee were like that.
So, when they were caught on the gold chair on the first day, the two of them were in despair.
They hoped and hoped that their families would avoid disaster.
The fortunate thing is that the torture was not carried out, probably because the enemy enemy had not yet been arrested.
But even if it wasn’t torture, prison life was a terrible place for the two of them.
In particular, the guards of Northern Jin did not leave Jin Woo-saeng alone.
Under the guise of an investigation, they harassed Jin Woo-saeng without even trying.
The intensity of the bullying increased over time.
Then, the golden chair was changed in one day.
As soon as the day dawned, Jang Bu-ah, a warrior from the north, personally came and released Jin Woo-saeng and Lee Yu-hwa.
As soon as Jang Boo-a took it out, Namjin’s Neungga-gyeong Cheon-ho ran like crazy.
On the spot, Jang Bu-ah handed over Jin Woo-saeng and Lee Yu-hwa to Neung Ga-gyeong.
Neung Ga-gyeong took Jin Woo-saeng and Lee Yu-hwa to the annex of the Golden House.
“Jin Sogi has suffered a lot in the meantime. Orders haven’t come yet, so I can’t send them home. But there will be no going back to prison. Until then, stay in the annex. You may not be able to leave the annex, but you are free to contact the outside world.”
“yes. thank you.”
Jin Woo-saeng had many things he wanted to ask, but Neung Ga-kyung and Cheon-ho held back because he was a distant superior.
Neung Ga-gyeong, who guessed Jin Woo-saeng’s heart, said with a smile.
“If you have any questions, you can ask anything.”
Only then did Jin Woo-saeng, who gained courage, carefully break his luck.
“Is the Daehyeop cleared of false accusations?”
“Who are you? I don’t know about the northern march, but the southern march didn’t consider the Yan Daehyeop a crime of treason from the beginning.”
Neungga-gyeong thoroughly separated the positions of the southern and northern advances.
That’s because it’s more appropriate to explain to Jin Woo-saeng.
“If so, what will happen in the future? Could Yeondaehyeop be guilty of high treason as Namjin insisted?”
“There will be no such thing. North Jin will no longer claim Yeondaehyeop as a high treason, so there is no need to worry about that.”
Then, Lee Yoo-hwa, who had been listening quietly, intervened.
“Adult. My husband was beaten like that for being a bandit with a traitor. Brother Yeon is not guilty of high treason, so why does my husband have to be beaten?”
Then, the sage hurriedly said.
“This Mrs. This morning, Baekho, the Jumun-woo, and the Pangolin gun of the Northern Jin were arrested for abuse of power. They will have to pay for the abuse of power they did to Jin So-gi. I will make sure to do that.”
Neung Ga-gyeong was polite to Lee Yoo-hwa, who was only the wife of a subordinate.
Just by looking at it, I could tell who the neighbour’s fear was.
Even after that, Neung Ga-gyeong courted Lee Yoo-hwa for a long time before returning.
***
Mid-December.
Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan Province.
Seochogwan (西蜀館) in front of the Sanmun Gate of the Qingsheng School.
around dusk.
Two middle-aged men arrived in front of Seo Chok-gwan.
It is Dong Yu-su, the Namjin warrior, and Jang-wook Jang-wook, who is in charge of guiding the way.
Upon reaching Seochokgwan, Jangwook took up a habit and quietly disappeared.
Feelings crossed Dong Yu-soo’s face as he looked up at the signboard in the West Building.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve known Yeonjeokha, but I’ve never been as nervous as today.
‘ha! It’s been a long time…’
He, who was a general patrol of the green forest, is now in a position to influence the fate of the country.
Unlike before, when I approached without feeling any pressure, my heart was heavy.
Moments later, Dong Yu-soo opened the door and entered Seo Chok-gwan.
“Welcome!”
The host shouted powerfully at the long-awaited guest.
At his loud cry, the eyes of the restaurant customers all turned to the entrance.
Dong Yoo-soo approached the owner with an awkward face.
“I’m here to meet a guest staying at the annex. Put a message inside.”
“Speaking of an annex… Who are you looking for?”
The owner looked into the middle-aged man’s eyes.
Dong Yoo-soo pushed his face into the owner and whispered.
“Tell Yeon Dae-hyeop that Dong Yu-soo came from Hanam.”
“Ah yes.”
The owner left, cringing under the pressure of Dong Yu-soo.
After a while, Yeon Jeok-ha appeared at the restaurant with a bright smile on his face.
Dong Yu-soo, who met Yeon Jeok-ha’s eyes, hurriedly bowed.
“Yeon Daehyeop. long time no see.”
“no way! What’s so formal between us? How have you been?”
Yeon Jeok-ha waved his hands and sat down opposite Dong Yoo-soo.
The corner of Dong Yoo-soo’s mouth went up slightly at the sight of him who was still the same even after transcending the royal family.
“Thanks to the concern of the kite, I got along well. I haven’t heard from you in the meantime, but how far have you been?”
“Yes, I have been to places so far away that I could not have imagined. But why did you come to see me again this time?”
“The snow-capped Mt. Cheongseong is very beautiful. I’d like to take a walk and talk to you. Is that okay?”
“I see.”
Yeonjeokha happily stood up from his seat.
Even if it’s not, I think it’s good that I’ve been frustrated since I’ve only been to and from the annex and the restaurant for the past few days.
The two went up Mt. Cheongseong as if they were taking a walk.
The Taoists guarding the Sanmun of the Qingseongpa recognized Yeonjeokha and bowed their heads to the ground.
However, they passed by without even looking at those who had a long relationship with each other.
Seeing Yeon Jeok-ha like that, Dong Yoo-soo smiled and said,
“I heard that the Cheongseong faction expelled Yeon Daehyeop, but I think it was true?”
“It’s embarrassing, but it’s true. I was just going to sit down, but my sister didn’t like it, so I came out.”
“The thoughts of the Qingsongpa guru are short-lived. You will hit the ground and regret it.”
“I hope so. But really, why are you here? You didn’t come here because the person on the throne died, right? Even if that person wasn’t only targeting my sister and the baby…”
“It’s not because of that.”
Dong Yu-su hurriedly denied Yeon Jeok-ha’s explanation before it got too long.
It’s because there’s nothing to gain from revisiting the fight between Geumuiwi and Yeonjeokha.
“Then you came because of the provincial commander? If so, I have a lot to say. That person…”
“Not even that.”
“huh? It’s not the golden chair or the provincial commander? What else is left?”
“The Emperor has brought a secret message to deliver to Yeon Daehyeop.”
When the emperor was suddenly mentioned, he looked at Dong Yu-soo with an evil face.
