< Episode 63: Queen Hwang (3) >
There are several prestigious shamans in Jeongdo Murim.
Among them there are seven martial arts families with the greatest reputation and they are called the Seven Great Families.
Among the seven great generations there was a famous family that was renowned as a swordsman in Hebei and the martial people called this family the Hebei Paeng family (河北彭家).
The person who currently holds the real power of the Hebei Peng family is the head of the family Peng Il-hyeon who was a master of the sword method called Hebei Paedo (河北覇刀).
The head of the family Peng Il-hyeon who was known to be no match for roads in Hebei Province had two younger brothers who had more than their fair share of inaction.
One of them the second son Paeng Imun set his sights on power early on and went on to pursue a government career.
Thanks to Paeng Yi-mun’s position in government the Hebei Paeng family was able to receive many benefits.
And there was his youngest brother Paeng Seok-im whose character was not the best among his brothers.
He was so bright that he was criticized several times and even though he was born into a famous swordsman family he insisted on using a sword so much so that he was overlooked by the elders of his clan.
However despite this the reason why the Hebei Paeng family placed him in such high regard was because his military talent was so outstanding that it was comparable to that of Paeng Il-hyeon the head of the family.
– Swoosh!
Paeng Seok-im the youngest brother of the Paeng family looked at the wall of the restaurant lit by lanterns and wiped the blade of his sword clean with a cloth.
Seeing this a warrior next to him asked.
“formation. “Why are you so concerned about the blade?”
“You have to pay attention. “Afterwards I can warm up nicely in front of my mom.”
“no. “Do you really like Lady Hwang’s wife that much?”
“If you don’t move when you see such a peerless beauty how can you call yourself a man?”
“oh my. Be careful what you say. “He is the one who owns it.”
The owner is no other person but His Majesty the emperor who rules this country.
Despite the warrior’s words Paeng Seok-im snorted.
“joy. “Even my countryman can curse when he is not in front of me.”
“formation!”
“I get it. okay. Why are you making such a fuss? Anyway you are also very special. But no matter how much you think about it doesn’t she seem like a waste to that old man?”
The warrior clicked his tongue inwardly as he saw Paengseok muttering.
One person Mujae is astounded but if only this color is involved he will not be able to come to his senses.
I wondered if I had come to my senses because I was old enough to stay away from this after coming to the Imperial Capital but now I was staring at a tree I couldn’t climb.
‘…It’s not that beautiful.’
Even the warriors could not help but be amazed when they first saw Queen Hwang’s face.
There was a reason why the old emperor couldn’t break away.
So it was understandable that Paeng Seok-im did this.
However no matter how bright Pang Seok-im is he will never be able to touch her as the emperor’s wife.
Unless she has multiple lives.
Then Paeng Seok-im suddenly turned his gaze somewhere.
“formation?”
It was a place with some soldiers in front of a wall.
They were looking at the weapons that had been taken from the Cheonjihoe group’s martial arts group that had entered the store earlier.
Among them he was wielding a sword that was particularly thin and could barely flutter.
“I’m cool too.”
“You think it’s cool?”
“okay. “It seems like it was made by a great master craftsman considering that the blade is thin enough and still has elasticity right?”
“Oh really?”
“It looks like the Cheonjihoe sent some pretty decent guys.”
“Then isn’t that bad?”
“What do you mean it’s bad?”
“Maybe we should go for help?”
“Then that’s good. men and horses. “Then you’ll have something to show in front of Mama right?”
“You are quite worthy.”
Musa shook his head.
But Paeng Seok-im frowned.
“formation? Are you by any chance angry? “If that’s the case I apologize…”
“That sword…what on earth is it?”
“yes?”
The warrior turned his head in the direction Peng Seok-im was looking and saw a soldier holding a sword with a strange symbol engraved on it.
But the soldier was staring at the sword with a mesmerized expression.
There was something strange about the atmosphere.
“Why are you doing that?”
“…”
“formation?”
But Paeng Seok-im also couldn’t take his eyes off her staring at the sword.
The look in his eyes was as if he had discovered some great treasure.
* * *
Same time.
-Chaang!
‘Anit?’
The eyes of his classmate Jang Sogam widened.
Of course Jang Sogam had no idea that the thuggish spirit of Paeng Yi-mun a middle-aged man in gray official uniform and a master of Hebei Paengga would be stopped by nothing more than chopsticks.
To be exact it wasn’t blocked but the blade was caught by the chopsticks.
‘How can this be?’
Jang’s feelings were inwardly perplexing.
I knew from what the eunuch Yu Gam-seung had said that among the later exponents sent by the Cheonjihoe that fair-haired young fellow was the one with the greatest inaction.
However no matter how he did it he considered it to be only at the level of the late Jisoo.
However I had no idea that he like no one else would be a master at the level of mastery of the Hebei Peng family one of the prestigious martial arts schools of Jeongdo Martial Arts and be able to capture it in this way.
-Poof!
Superintendent Jang looked at Yubong.
Yubong was equally embarrassed by this situation.
No matter how strong he was he predicted that he would be no match for Peng Yimun the master of the Hebei Peng family but that prediction was shattered.
Meanwhile Mok Gyeong-un raised the corner of his mouth and said.
“I think it’s wrong to stay still. “Isn’t that right?”
“…..”
Ganyang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
The original plan has already been abandoned.
The reason Queen Seo Hwang is trying to suppress them like this is probably to cut ties with Cheonjihoe or to steer the situation in the direction she wants.
Ganyang was about to nod his head as if there was nothing he could do.
-Chae Kang!
At that time Top Imoon a middle-aged man in a gray official uniform tried to pull out the sword held on his chopsticks by rotating it.
However his Yuyeopdo which was caught by the chopsticks did not move.
-Purrrrr!
As a result Top Moon was able to know for sure.
‘This guy has stronger attack power than me.’
Even now I was already using 9-star attack power that is close to the highest attack power but this meant that I was behind this guy even in terms of internal attack.
Top Moon’s complexion darkened for a moment.
‘…That doesn’t make sense.’
Top is a skill that goes beyond maturity and is close to the pinnacle of excellence.
However it was impossible for him to overwhelm himself with his strength simply by reaching the absolute pinnacle.
That means this kid has to get over the wall…
‘It can’t be. How can a guy who hasn’t even signed a contract reach the state of peace?’
There were not many people even in the martial arts world who had reached the state of Hwagyeong.
Among them there was no one who reached this level in their teens.
Since it was a state that could only be reached by training for a long time and achieving high enlightenment it was difficult for Topimun to accept this easily.
But what was most certain was that he couldn’t subdue this guy on his own.
hereto
‘I can’t. then!’
-fault! Pop!
I hit the end of the top door’s sword where the handle of the Yuyeopdo sword was placed with my palm.
This was the Dao Pa technique one of the secrets of the Five Tigers and Danmundo.
It was a method of striking the sword sword with the sword breaking the blade carrying the spirit in the pieces and sending them flying at the opponent.
-Chacha chacha chachang!
The pieces of Tao broken by Bar Qing rushed towards Mo Qingyun.
Because it was so close and I was sitting down I thought I couldn’t avoid this.
However the moment the pieces of Tao touched the skin with the force of piercing Mogyeongun
-Papa pa pa pa paak!
At the same time the pieces of Tao were unable to penetrate Mo Kyung-un’s body and slipped off their tracks getting stuck in different places.
‘What is this?’
Surprised by this Top Moon hurriedly kicked the floor and spread the distance between them.
Mok Gyeong-un spoke to him as if he was interested.
“That’s an interesting tactic. “You break your own Tao and throw it away like a memorization.”
“What on earth are you?”
“What is it?”
“Even if Amjongju an official of the Heaven and Earth Council steps forward in person this method cannot be stopped so easily.”
An official of the Five Kings level of the Heaven and Earth Association would probably agree.
Among them there are monsters that have received the title of Eight Stars.
However it was not understandable that a disciple of a leader level official of the Heaven and Earth Association not even them could be so strong.
Isn’t it truly a blue herb?
“You look down on my teacher too much.”
“I’m not looking down on you…..”
“More than that since you aimed at someone else’s life you should pay the price.”
“what?”
-Sigh!
Mo Gyeong-un removed one of the blades stuck to the ground with his index and middle fingers.
Then he flew it like a memorization towards the top door.
Top Moon hurriedly turned his body sideways to avoid the flying piece of sword.
But that wasn’t the end.
-Park!
The moment he opened his body Mu Qingyun quickly threw another piece of Tao.
The piece of sword flew right into Topmun’s neck.
It was a situation that could not be avoided.
-Chaeng!
At that moment someone struck it with a soft sword.
That someone was his classmate Jang Seom-soo.
“Things to say!”
Topmoon whose throat was almost pierced looked at him with gratitude.
Then Superintendent Jang spoke hastily.
“Great person. “I think you’ll have to work together with me this time.”
“I think the same thing.”
-Wheeeeeeek!
With those words Top Moon put energy into his mouth and whistled.
This was a signal for help.
Knowing that Mok Gyeong-un was not an ordinary expert he decided that he would be in trouble if his younger brother who was waiting outside did not come and join him.
Superintendent Jang shouted at Yubong.
“Gamseung Yoo lead the rest to deal with them.”
“Yes… four.”
Although Yubong answered hastily he was embarrassed on the inside.
His original plan was to have Paeng Yi-moon deal with Mo Gyeong-un and join forces with Jang So-gam to subdue the rest.
However no matter how much support there was from top-class warriors Nie Chun and Meng Muyak who came as latecomers were masters who had reached the peak of their abilities.
Ganyang and Okgi are not ordinary people so will they be able to stop them?
‘no. Let’s not sound weak. We just have to hold out until the reinforcements from the Panga arrive.’
I was waiting outside anyway so it should come soon.
No matter how strong they are the situation will not turn over in a moment.
“There’s nothing I can do.”
“I can’t believe it got twisted like this.”
Nie Chun and Meng Wuyak stood up and took a fighting stance toward the warriors surrounding them.
From the looks of it it was already too late to turn things around.
Ganyang and Okgi also seemed to think that they had made a mistake and were ready to fight glaring at Yubong with resentment.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un the only one still sitting opened his mouth.
“Mama Hwang Guifei.”
‘!?’
The situation was imminent but when Mok Gyeong-un suddenly called for Queen Hwang everyone’s eyes turned to him.
Of course the person involved Queen Seo Hwang was also the same.
She was quite surprised by Mok Gyeong-un whose martial arts skills were better than expected.
Even though he didn’t know much about martial arts it was clear that his skills were not average if Jang So-gam and Top I-moon who were experts even in the imperial palace tried to join forces.
“Why did you call this rain?”
Lady Hwang asked puzzled.
Mok Gyeong-un then smiled and answered.
“I would like to briefly tell you what will happen from now on.”
“What will happen?”
“yes.”
Lady Hwang frowned.
What on earth is this guy talking about?
At that time Sogam Jang who was trying to join forces with Top raised his voice and urged them.
“This is outrageous! How dare you mama…..”
“Try to stop.”
“mama?”
Gwibi Seo who stopped this kind of scene raised one eyebrow and said.
“You are truly a wanton person. So what do you think is going to happen?”
“Everyone except Mama will die here.”
‘!?’
For a moment she couldn’t believe her ears.
I was wondering what on earth he was going to say but how dare this scoundrel threaten him?
But Mok Gyeong-un’s words did not end there.
“From what I heard you have a lot of political opponents right?”
“What?”
“Anyway Mama wants to let go of us so it seems like we have reached the end of our usefulness so we are going to ask them to negotiate with Mama’s life as collateral. What do you think?”
‘!!!!!!!’
