< Episode 68: King Gyeongchin (1) >
“Ah this is why it’s difficult for those who are quick to notice.”
‘!?’
A young voice coming from the mouth of Seochang’s eunuch Beom Sogam.
As soon as they heard this the eyes of King Gyeongchin and Taegam Ho Gong of Seochang became wary.
Since they had been with Beom Sogam for a long time of course they could be distinguished just by hearing their voices.
Taegam Ho Gong opened his mouth while aiming his sword.
“You…who the hell are you?”
“There are definitely limitations with just the face.”
“what?”
“I guess I got lucky there.”
The corner of Inspector Beom’s mouth twitched.
Beom’s Thoughts No the real identity behind that face was Mok Gyeong-un.
From the moment he entered King Gyeongchin’s palace Mok Gyeong-un who had no intention of avoiding being discovered realized the weaknesses of Inpimyeongu through them.
Even if you simply fake your face it would be difficult to fake your energy against a master with a sensitive sense of energy like Ho Gong.
‘If you have the skills it might be difficult to buy it.’
If he had been able to handle inner energy which is the energy of yang he would have followed the unique energy revealed by Sogam Beomjeung.
However this could not be done because Mokgyeongun’s energy was different from the others.
In addition to this it was virtually impossible to deceive people whose voices were clearly different or who had known this bastard’s face for a long time.
Taking this into account it could be said that Yeonmok Geomjang was lucky.
The real Mok Gyeong-un had such a bad reputation that he did not interact with Gasol let alone his half-brothers.
as a result
‘A bast ball is not a card that can be used like this.’
It is difficult to deceive people whose faces you know or who are close to you.
However this does not mean that it cannot be used.
It seemed like if we just used a different method we could create a fun situation like before.
‘It depends on what you think….’
It was right then.
-Wow!
Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gong Gong’s soft sword was aimed at the area between the eyebrows.
In an instant Mok Gyeong-un slowly pulled his head back and narrowly avoided the tip of Yeongeom’s sword.
-Sigh!
‘Avoid this?’
It seemed like a light move but it was a very fast stab that even the most advanced experts could not easily avoid.
However when he easily avoided this he couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘This guy is not normal.’
Since His Majesty the King of Gyeongchin was present it was a sword stabbed with the intention of quickly subduing him.
It was hard to be sure of my level because I felt almost no energy but this move made it clear.
‘He is as expert as me.’
A super expert of that level could understand the opponent’s skill with just one move.
Ho Gong slightly bent and unfolded the wrist holding his kite sword.
Then the soft sword curved like a living snake and aimed at Mo Gyeong-un in a strange direction.
-Sigh!
However Mok Gyeong-un avoided the path of the sword by simply taking a half step back.
Ho Gong shouted as if he had expected to avoid this.
“Hello! “The enemy has arrived!”
It was a shout that was full of energy.
Outside there were Xochang’s eunuchs including Jinguiwi.
Asking for their help was not to defeat Iza but to evacuate His Highness.
however
-The enemy has entered! The enemy has arrived! The enemy has arrived!
At that time Ho Gong’s voice echoed through the room like an echo.
It wasn’t just a voice it was full of energy so loud that King Gyeongchin frowned and hurriedly covered his ears.
“Tsk.”
‘this!’
Hu Gong’s complexion darkened.
The reason the echo was created in this narrow space was because the shouts bounced off each other.
Through this Ho Gong was able to find out.
‘The entire room is surrounded by charm.’
Even if he was just a master of transcendence he was able to block out his sound by covering a certain amount of space with his true energy.
Of course there was no way a master of this level could not do this.
-Papapaak!
Ho Gong widened the distance from Mok Gyeong-un using strange darting movements and soon stood in front of King Gyeongchin.
It was to protect him.
Ho Gong sent Jeonum Ipmil (傳音入密) to secretly convey his intention.
-majesty. This person is no ordinary expert. Even if you are a believer it doesn’t look like you can easily subdue it so if you get the chance break the window and get out.
His words caught King Gyeongchin’s eyes.
Ho Gong the grand master of Xochang was a martial arts expert whose rivals were hard to find in the entire imperial palace.
This is the first time I’ve seen him show such caution.
That means that the unknown person with the face of a tiger is that dangerous and an excellent expert right?
‘then….’
King Gyeongchin spoke to Mok Gyeong-un who had a tiger-like expression on his face.
“Look. “Who sent you?”
‘majesty?’
Seeing him like this Taegam Ho Gong inwardly clicked his tongue.
It was as if someone who could be an assassin had broken in. It was really bold of the master he served to think of talking to someone like that in this situation.
However there is no way a person like that would be obedient and answer His Majesty’s questions…
“well. “Who sent it?”
‘!?’
Ho Gong frowned and looked at Mo Qingyun.
What the hell is this guy?
If you had come to assassinate His Highness there was no way you would have answered these questions one by one.
I was puzzled but King Gyeongchin calmly opened his mouth.
“I can only think of three people in my head who would send you an expert who is so expert that even the Duke of Ho here is wary.”
They were the most powerful people in the imperial palace except him.
He was thought to be King Zong (棕王) the second prince of Emperor Hang Yunpa and one of the concubines of the West Emperor who also served as the Grand Master (太師) of the Three Dukes (三公) and the Admiral of the Central Provincial Government.
“Seeing as they sent you to imitate the face of Beom So-gam who can be said to be a close associate of the King of Bonn it seems like they clearly planned it out.”
This was a great move even in his opinion.
If it is said that he died due to the criminal’s testimony it will ultimately end in internal strife.
The Financial Services Commission would have to investigate whether someone instigated it but it could be easily completed by eliminating the real culprit.
At this King Gyeongchin clicked his tongue and said.
“Of course I would have killed Mr. Beom. “Isn’t it?”
“For a man of great stature you are quite smart.”
“If it’s a compliment I’d appreciate it.”
Mok Gyeong-un was secretly intrigued by his calm tone of voice.
Although it was funny to see them misunderstanding and guessing some situations they were definitely quite different from ordinary people as they belonged to a clan that ruled a country.
You can see that even though he is nervous he tries to calmly resolve the situation.
Mok Kyung-un said with a grin.
“Then you know very well that further conversation is meaningless.”
With those words Mok Gyeong-un grabbed the sword paper.
Then sharp anticipation flowed out and the air became heavy with murderous intent.
This was felt even by King Gyeongchin who had not learned martial arts.
‘I can’t breathe.’
In response to Mo Kyung-un’s sharp momentum Ho Gong grabbed his soft sword and took a stance.
-Your Majesty you must leave while Sosin blocks the author.
After saying those words again Taegam Ho Gong tried to throw his new weapon at Mok Gyeong-un.
At that moment King Gyeongchin stopped him.
“Stop!”
Ho Gong could not help but be embarrassed by his command.
This was because if the cardinal formula was solved first it would be difficult to protect King Gyeongchin.
Nevertheless King Gyeongchin was stubborn.
“…majesty. No it works. “The author is truly dangerous.”
“It’s okay stop.”
“majesty!”
“Didn’t you say it was okay? This king trusts you. And if today is the last day wouldn’t it be fate for me to go even if you don’t stop me?”
Hearing these words from King Gyeongchin Taegam Ho Gong bit his lip and then released the cardinal formula.
Since he was a master who could not let down his opponent’s guard he did not want to let down his guard easily but he could not disobey His Majesty’s orders.
Looking at this Mok Kyung-un looked puzzled and said.
“That doesn’t seem like a good choice.”
At those words King Gyeongchin put his hands together and bowed towards Mok Gyeong-un.
Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes caught a glimpse of this sight.
What kind of behavior is this all of a sudden?
But King Gyeongchin bowed his head and said.
“This king is a man who cherishes talented people and treats the strong who deserve to be treated well.”
“You’re saying you respect the strong?”
“That’s right. “King Bon needs many heroes like you to do what he wants to do.”
‘iced coffee….’
King Gyeongchin’s words made the Taegam of Seochang Ho Gong embarrassed.
Your Majesty’s strengths and bad habits were revealed.
If there’s a talent I’m passionate about regardless of whether it’s an enemy or someone else I reach out and take a look.
This may work well but there are also cases where it does not.
Especially if it is an enemy that is trying to kill you.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“You are a special person.”
King Gyeongchin couldn’t help but feel relieved at the interesting tone of voice.
If despite his extreme attitude he showed no response at all then there was nothing he could do about it.
However having this reaction meant that he was someone who could be investigated.
“If something is unusual it can be unique and if something is foolish it can be foolish but this king is greedy for talent.”
“It seems so.”
“Because the situation is like this I will tell you straight. “I don’t know whose request or order he received but it seems like using a great talent like you to do something as dirty as an assassination is no better than a beginner.”
Cho Jae-jin-yong (楚材晉用).
This meant that the talented people of the Chu Dynasty were used by the Jin Dynasty without knowing their true value and using them in places where they had no use.
“So with the heart of gamdangjiae (sincere desire for talented people) I would like to invite you as one of the king’s people. “I don’t know what kind of compensation you receive from them but I am willing to treat you better than that so please become this person’s companion.”
Dongryang Intellectual Property.
It means an important person who can become a pillar or beam and a person who can be entrusted with important tasks for a family or country.
King Gyeongchin was close to Cheongsanyusu in terms of his ability to persuade and speak.
With his deep knowledge he transformed many talented people into people through his speaking skills.
‘It is said that people bow their heads for those who recognize their worth. I don’t know who he belongs to but no one will treat him as well as King Bon.
What he has is Queen Xu Huang whose body is a weapon Hang Yun-fa an arrogant authority figure and King Jong a cruel prince who believes that he has usurped his place.
Who among these can match his distribution?
-Purrrrr!
At that time Mok Kyung-un lowered his head and covered his mouth with his palm his face trembling slightly.
It looked like he was emotionally charged.
Seeing this the corners of King Gyeongchin’s mouth slightly turned up.
It seems that this gamble born out of his own greed for talent worked.
In response King Gyeongchin approached Mokgyeongun.
“majesty!”
King Gyeongchin shook his head.
“It’s okay. “This man understood the king’s intentions.”
With those words King Gyeongchin approached Mokgyeongun again placed his hand on his right shoulder and said with a bright smile.
“Hahahaha. It seems that this king has virtue. “To be able to acquire an outstanding martial artist from Ganseongjijae (干城之材) like this…”
For a moment King Gyeongchin was speechless.
As expected Mok Gyeong-un’s face as he raised his head looked more like he was stifling a yawn of boredom rather than being overwhelmed by his speech.
“you….”
“Oh I’m sorry. “You’re talking passionately but yawning doesn’t seem polite so it’s obvious that you’re holding it back.”
King Gyeongchin was dumbfounded by these words.
He spoke politely but the only response he got was a yawn.
This was tantamount to insulting the royal family and the king himself.
King Gyeongchin felt very uncomfortable at this but since he was so close to Mok Gyeongun he pressed his teeth and spoke in a soft voice.
“I guess it’s because King Bonn’s words got too long. If you do I’ll talk briefly. “Please become King Bon’s person.”
With those words he put his hands together bowed his head and bowed once again.
The king himself bent it to this degree and lifted it up.
If you’ve done this you should show some sincerity…
-Poof!
At that moment something sharp pierced King Gyeongchin’s left eyeball.
King Gyeongchin who was more shocked than the pain caused by the sudden penetration of the needle tried to push Mok Gyeong-un away.
-closely!
However he couldn’t push him away because Mok Kyung-un was grabbing his wrist.
“Yes you bastard!”
The Taegam of Seochang Ho Gong was enraged by this scene and hurriedly tried to rescue King Gyeongchin.
however
“If you don’t want to see your highness die it would be better to stay still.”
“This guy!”
At this Taegam Ho Gongong stopped in his seat.
He gritted his teeth.
Even if his Highness said it was okay he should have prevented him from getting closer somehow.
Then King Gyeong who was squinting his left eye said to Mok Gyeong-un in a tone that he could not understand.
“How can you do this? “The king said he would treat me better even showing courtesy…”
“Ah. Why did you do that all of a sudden?”
“…okay.”
“Because I talk a lot.”
‘!?’
