“I thought about waiting for a while but there was no need to wait. “Marahyeon Cheonho.”
‘What is this voice?’
A unique way of speaking and voice that has become familiar to my ears.
The moment he heard this Marahyeon the Heavenly Guardian of the Wall immediately recognized whose voice it was.
“Are you really Mokgyeongun?”
“Hoo. “Do you have a good memory for sounds?”
‘!!!!!’
Marahyeon couldn’t help but be surprised at the answer she heard.
A man with the smiling face of Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gongong.
He was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.
“….You were alive?”
As he was part of the Yukseonbu the investigative department he could not help but feel saddened by the thought that Mok Gyeong-un had been murdered.
Since he was attacked while seriously injured after competing with Yukcheonho So Ye-rin a teacher and head of Yukseonbu there was no doubt that he was still alive.
But he couldn’t help but be surprised to see him so alive.
Marahyun’s eyes narrowed through the gap in the mask as she looked at the face wearing Mokgyeongun’s bast mask.
“Ha…what on earth is that face?”
“Didn’t you call me Ho Gong just now?”
“That was true but how could you make that face…”
Marahyeon couldn’t continue talking.
Taegam Ho Gong who can be said to be the head of Seochang not only had a high rank as a eunuch but was also a confidant of King Gyeongchin one of the powerful figures in the country.
He was no one else and it was very dangerous to walk around wearing such a person’s bast mask.
If they were discovered the imperial palace could be turned upside down.
“I’m afraid it might be a problem?”
“It’s a problem but you know there’s still something I need to receive from you.”
“iced coffee. “That’s right.”
Maraheon made a deal with Mokgyeongun.
He agreed to provide information related to the underground Geumok and provide assistance when needed.
Of course the price was to remove the loneliness from his body.
“Should I say that this face has some circumstances? “But it won’t be a problem so don’t worry.”
“…..”
“More than that it looked like he was being threatened by the person here didn’t he?”
The person Mok Gyeong-un pointed to was Cheon-ho the Geumuiwiwi who was fainting and had a beard.
Mok Gyeong-un who stopped by to ask a favor and was hiding when this person appeared revealed himself after finding out that he was lonely in the stomach of Cheonho Mara-hyeon.
Mara-hyeon felt relieved when she saw him collapse but she soon hid those feelings and spoke.
“….Even so it was a hasty action.”
“Are you quick to call me?”
“What are you going to do to clean this up when this person wakes up?”
“Are you worried about cleaning things up?”
“…”
How can you not be worried?
Although this person was a confidant of ‘that person’ he was someone who knew that he was lonely.
If this person were to wake up it was obvious that his plan to try to turn things around by pretending to obey as obediently as possible would go awry.
In response Mara-hyeon spoke to Mok Gyeong-un.
“…. He could be suspected and lose his life.”
“Hmm. Has it gotten that big?”
Mara-hyeon gritted his teeth at Mok Gyeong-un’s sly words.
Is he just saying it’s none of his business?
If the person behind this person has the slightest suspicion and decides to eliminate him he can activate solitude in an instant and kill him.
“I don’t think you realize how serious this is…”
“You must be serious. “You probably can’t do anything because of what’s in your stomach.”
“Knowing that…..”
“Please calm down. “I came because I had something more urgent to ask you.”
Hearing Mok Gyeong-un’s words Mara-hyeon looked at him with shocked eyes.
What was urgent now was himself.
Are you going to mess with someone you shouldn’t mess with right away and then try to solve your own problems first?
Mara-hyeon who felt uncomfortable at this lowered her voice and said.
“It seems like my life is at stake so people are telling me to help you.”
“You seem very anxious?”
“Then keep your agreement so as not to be anxious.”
Mara-hyeon told Mok Gyeong-un what she wanted.
The only way to overcome the current situation was to remove the loneliness in his stomach as Mok Gyeong-un promised.
“That’s troublesome.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I can’t do that until I finish my work. “If you who have no weaknesses try to push me to do my duty as a member of the Geumui Committee I will be doing my job wrong.”
-Pud!
Mara-hyeon gritted his teeth at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
It was definitely true in his situation but I was so angry at the reality that this guy and that guy were trying to take advantage of his weaknesses.
In my heart I wanted to turn this situation around regardless of whether I died or not.
-closely!
His fists gain strength.
But I was resentful of the reality that I couldn’t do that.
He could not repay the gift and he was not found.
That’s why he had to endure it with the mind of self-control.
Mok Gyeong-un chuckled at the sight of Mara-hyeon barely able to control her anger.
Marahyeon reacted nervously to this.
“Are you laughing at me?”
“no. “It looks like he’s very angry.”
“Are you intentionally touching me knowing that?”
“It wasn’t intentional. But if I’m going to ask you a favor I guess I’ll have to settle things to some extent.”
“what?”
What does this mean?
While he was wondering Mok Gyeong-un bent down and searched the bearded body of Cheon-ho who had collapsed.
“Stop! What are you doing now? Are you planning to make things more complicated?”
It became increasingly difficult for Marahyeon to control her anger.
It’s not something that will eliminate loneliness but it’s trying to increase the workload.
Mok Gyeong-un hearing this nodded and took out a wooden box the size of a book from Beard Cheon-ho’s arms.
Marahyeon saw this and frowned.
‘This?’
As expected this wooden box was none other than a storage box for bast cotton balls.
The reason I knew this was because I received the storage box containing the special medicine from my father-in-law.
Mok Kyung-un held it up and said.
“No matter how you look at this it looks like a human skin rescue.”
“…..”
“Why did you bring this?”
Mok Gyeong-un opened the bast cotton box.
Then a human skin mask containing medicine appeared inside.
However the moment he saw this face a strange color appeared in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
As expected Infimyeongu’s face looked very familiar.
This is
“…It looks similar to the face of my classmate Jang So-gam.”
Comments from a classmate’s eunuch.
He was her confidant who assisted Queen Seo Hwang.
Mok Gyeong-un tilted his head and then looked at Mara-hyeon and said.
“Why does this person have the face of his classmate Jang So-gam?”
At that question Marahyeon sighed and muttered.
“Ha…..this one was also planning to use me.”
“yes?”
“That is the bast cotton ball I received from my father-in-law.”
“Are you Cheonho of Marahyeon?”
“That’s not what I ordered…”
Marahyeon carefully pointed towards her abdomen.
He wanted to let people know that it was an item ordered by the person who planted loneliness in him.
Of course Mo Kyung-un understood this right away.
“okay. “I wonder what the person who planted loneliness in you was trying to do with this.”
“Seeing as he brought this in I think he was trying to get me to use it.”
Mara-hyeon instinctively sensed this.
Otherwise would there be any reason for him to bring back the wooden box of the human skin mask he had given?
“Is that so? Can you guess what he was trying to do by making him wear a bast face mask? “Well I guess I get it roughly.”
I could tell that it was meant to cause confusion.
However it was unclear how exactly it was intended to confuse people.
In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s question Mara-hyeon shook her head.
“I don’t know exactly. “Maybe if you hadn’t knocked this guy out you would have known why by now.”
“In the end it’s my fault.”
“…..”
“Then there is nothing we can do. “I’ll find out if I wake this guy up and ask him.”
What on earth are you talking about?
If we wake this person up now it will become more difficult to resolve the situation.
In response Marahyeon held out her hand to Mokgyeongun and said.
“Stop it. “It’s not like you’re going to help me so why do you keep trying to escalate things like this?”
“I’m not trying to raise you I’m trying to help you.”
“what?”
“I’m trying to help.”
Marahyun frowned at those words.
What does this mean all of a sudden?
While I was wondering Mok Gyeong-un grabbed the inner part of Cheon-ho’s collarbone while he was unconscious and said
“I don’t think you will be able to properly fulfill my request if you are swayed by these people. “It doesn’t mean anything else so just watch.”
-closely!
As soon as he finished saying those words Mok Kyung-un tightened his fingers.
At that moment the bearded Geumwiwi Cheonho who had fainted woke up from the pain.
“Kwaaah…Eupeup!”
As he was about to scream Mok Kyung-un covered his mouth with his other hand.
Then he smiled and said to Cheonho the bearded member of the Geumuiwi who soon woke up.
“Are you awake?”
The eyes of the bearded Geumwiwi Cheonho widened at Mok Gyeong-un’s greeting.
That’s right the face of Mok Gyeong-un now was that of Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gong who could be said to be King Gyeongchin’s confidant.
Among the members of the Jinui there was no one who did not know this face.
‘Ho public? ‘How is this person?’
Cheonho the bearded member of the Geumuiwi made an expression of incomprehension.
Why is he the eunuch of Xichang in the office of the Yuxeonbu of the Jinuiui Commission?
I was puzzled but Mok Kyung-un continued speaking.
“I controlled the sounds around me with Jingi. “I just didn’t want to hear you scream so I covered his mouth but I’m taking my hand away.”
-Sigh!
As he took his hand away from his mouth Cheonho above the beard rolled his eyes and looked around.
Then I discovered Cheonho Marahyeon behind Mokgyeongun.
When he saw this his eyes became sharp.
“Mara Cheonho what happened to this? “I’m just saying this to you dear public servant…”
-match!
Before he could finish his words the beard’s head Cheonho turned to the side.
The reason his head turned was simple.
This was because Mo Kyung-un had slapped him.
Cheonho above the beard Geumui slowly turned his head and opened his mouth with anger welling up to the tips of his head.
“Ho public. What is this? “How could you be here…”
-match!
Before he could finish speaking Cheonho the Beard’s head turned to the side again due to a slap.
It felt like I just slapped him but my face felt like it was going to burn.
Bearded Cheonho barely tolerated this and spoke.
“Ha…ho public. This is an act of exceeding authority. “I don’t know how Xichang’s eunuch is here…”
-match!
Once again Bearded Cheonho’s face turned to the side.
Not only was Cheonho’s left cheek swollen after being slapped for the third time blood vessels burst into his left eyeball and turned red.
At this bearded Cheon-ho turned his head and glared at Mok Gyeong-un.
Then Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said.
“It’s a little quiet now.”
Beard Cheonho was dumbfounded by Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
Did you just slap him to keep him quiet?
No matter how much he was Tae-gam the head of Seochang he could not humiliate himself like this by hitting Cheon Ho-in a member of the Geumuiwi who belonged to a different organization.
But
“Then let’s talk now.”
‘what?’
Cheonho with the beard suddenly thought it was strange.
Of course he never had a conversation with Prince Ho but since he was a confidant of King Gyeongchin I remembered hearing his voice once or twice as he passed by.
His voice was quite harsh as expected of a eunuch but this voice was different from that.
‘no way?’
Bearded Cheonho rolled his eyes and looked at the back of Mok Gyeong-un’s hand.
Cheonho’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the back of his hand.
As far as he knew Ho Gong looked middle-aged due to his deep inner strength and makeup but he knew that he was around the age of Yi Sun (耳順-60 years old).
He was at an age where the backs of his hands should have wrinkles but there were none.
Bearded Cheonho was convinced of this.
‘It’s fake.’
The person in front of me was definitely not Seochang’s Taegam Ho Gong.
hereto
“Who are you…”
-match!
Before the question was even finished Beard Cheonho’s head turned.
When his head was turned Cheonho’s beard’s cheeks were dyed indigo blue and blood flowed from his mouth.
Beyond the pain in his cheek his head was spinning.
Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said to him.
“Just answer what is asked.”
“…”
Mok Gyeong-un held out a wooden box of bast cotton to him as he became quiet and said
“What were you going to do with this?”
‘!?’
Cheonho’s beard’s eyes wavered when he saw the wooden box of bast cotton.
I didn’t know what this guy was but I was certain that something was wrong.
At this Bearded Cheonho hurriedly shook his head.
What should I do to get out of this situation?
Then he glanced at Mara Hyeon who was watching as if watching from behind Mok Gyeong-un.
‘I don’t know what this damn guy is but he must be related to that bastard Mara-hyeon. then…..’
The bearded Cheonho shouted hurriedly.
“If you touch me even Marahyeon Cheonho will die!”
I thought the only answer was to review the situation.
Although Mara-hyeon could not have revealed something about loneliness he made sure that he knew that if he was sure that he was helping Mara-hyeon he would not be able to mess with him…..
-match!
Bearded Cheonho’s head turned to the side.
Blood flowed from his red left eye as he turned to the side.
His left eye was blind.
He even had a tinnitus ringing in his left ear and it seemed like he had lost all of his hearing and vision on one side.
In the midst of the pain Cheonho the bearded man overcome with evil shouted.
“no. Mara-hyeon that guy is okay with dying…..”
“I don’t know how someone who doesn’t even have a soul in his body threatens to kill Marahyeon Cheonho.”
‘!?’
At those words Bearded Cheonho’s right eye shook as if there had been an earthquake.
He knew what solitude was because he knew the existence of solitude.
Yeonggo (令蠱) was a paired female solitary that could control the parasitic solitary.
‘What on earth does this guy do?’
The bearded Cheon-ho looked at Mara-hyeon in confusion.
Something went wrong.
The bastard was clearly prohibited from revealing the existence of loneliness with his own mouth or in any other way.
The moment you speak out loneliness runs rampant and you end up losing your life.
But how does the person wearing the face of Taegam Ho Gong in Seochang know that fact?
‘Damn it!’
Realizing that something had gone wrong Beard Cheonho’s breathing became heavy.
-closely!
Watching him like this from behind Mok Gyeong-un Mara-hyeon’s clenched fists gained strength.
Because of his weakness of solitude he had been unable to rebel once and had to do as he was told and endure the humiliation.
However seeing the beard’s Geumuiwi look so embarrassed I couldn’t help but be filled with joy no matter what.
