Episode 186. Shinsegae Eunhwadam
had to stay in the training center to clean up after the other executioners.
It was not a matter to take care of Hanibi.
The person who guided him to his lodgings was none other than Won Geum-jin, the head of Gyoungdang.
He said.
“I see you are not at the average level of martial arts. “Where did you learn martial arts?”
Ebi Han said.
“Ahaha. I… had a difficult life due to certain circumstances. “I learned from various people while working as a Jeomsoyi and as a Charyeokshaman.”
Won Geum-jin twitched one eyebrow as if it was strange and said.
“Is that so? Hmm. Then, Commissioner Han must be a match made in heaven.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t that right? “You learned martial arts to a level where you could overpower the head of our Cheonseong Palace without even a decent teacher.”
That’s right.
It makes sense to say that it doesn’t make sense.
Han E-bi, however, has a long sales career.
In times like this, there is a line that can be useful.
He suddenly sighed and said.
“How could I be Gigi? “It’s just that one of the Charyeoksul masters was particularly talented… so I just learned a few tricks along the way.”
“Ohh. I see. “What is his name?”
Then, Han Ibi made a very sad expression, shook her hand, and said.
“sorry. Head of the family. “I cannot go against Master’s instructions.”
Then Won Geum-jin laughed and said.
“no. I understand. “I’m sorry for being so presumptuous.”
He was a gentle yet cheerful man.
The two walked while chatting like that.
As we were talking like that, we had already arrived in front of the hotel.
Ebi Han said.
“Mr. Won. “Then thank you.”
“no. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow at the monthly meeting.”
After saying hello to Han Ibi, she arrived in front of her room.
The moment he entered.
A familiar sound was heard.
Tiriring.
[Main Quest Occurs: Check the whereabouts of Seol Mok-deuk at Cheonseong Palace and rescue him.] [
Reward 1: Strength increases by +20, Strength increases by +25, Agility increases by +10, Wisdom increases by +30, Charisma increases by +15]
[ Reward 2: There is an unknown reward.]
Likewise.
These context-free instructions.
The woman of the system who appears out of nowhere and disappears out of nowhere.
What on earth should I do in this situation?…
I feel like I need to go on a treasure hunt in this wide and spacious Cheonseong Palace.
‘Anyway, I have to do what I have to do. It is impossible to blindly chew the system. It’s not an unexpected event, it’s a main quest… Ugh. But how are you going to take care of the aftermath?…’
Han Ibi thought deeply.
‘According to the quest, he must be detained here somewhere. I feel like I want to ask Eun Hwa-dam… but that would just be a good way to get suspicious. Because I am someone I shouldn’t know. What kind of place is he trapped in?…’
Today, after following Eun Hwa-dam and looking around, Han Ibi selected a candidate location in her mind.
First, the library where the secret documents were stored.
Since it is a place that is only partially open to people at the head level and above, it would not be difficult to hide someone.
However…
since it is a place that maintains such strict security, it is highly likely that they would not have put themselves in danger by hiding someone.
‘Hmm… Then next…’
If I were to choose the next most likely place, it would be the place called the annex.
This is probably the place where the wives and concubines of the Lord of Cheonseong Palace were gathered.
A place where the Lord of Cheonseong enjoys pleasure every night.
Eunhwadam felt uncomfortable talking, but most likely he would.
Because that is the final destination of powerful men…
And finally, the Ok family shrine.
‘It seemed like no one was there… but the sound I heard earlier during the day bothers me. ‘Maybe there’s something hidden that I don’t know about.’
Han Ibi was racking her brain in contemplation, but soon composed herself and got up from her seat.
‘okay. Let’s go and decide for ourselves. There is nothing you can do to the head of the desk. The answer lies in the field. Isn’t this a slogan that the CEO of an old company often said? Although… he didn’t seem to be protecting himself very much.’
He waited in his room for a while, waiting for it to get dark.
And finally, when it was time to drink, I quietly left the room.
The external perimeter of Cheonseong Palace was tight, but the internal security was somewhat lax.
Well, this would be natural for any sect, but…
Han Ibi slowly approached the annex while looking in all directions.
I wanted to take a moment to look at the trends in the outbuildings.
He took a seat under a bush far away and crouched down for a moment, watching the outbuilding.
The same scenery as seen during the day.
Everything remained the same except that it was getting dark and the disciple standing guard had been replaced by someone else.
It was then.
Suddenly, the disciple who was watching security looked nervous.
Han Ibi also watched the scene with wide eyes.
At that time, the door burst open and a group of men appeared.
All of them are men with massive muscles and wearing large, intimidating swords.
They lined up in perfect order in front of the door.
And then a faint female voice was heard.
“Palace lord. “Aren’t you going to stay in the annex today and just leave?”
‘omg. this. ‘The palace lord.’
It was like that.
It was truly a palace lord.
From the looks of it, it seemed like he had done something serious inside.
However, Ok Taeje still has a cold expression.
It was another man who answered.
“The palace lord is busy today, so he will sleep outside.”
“iced coffee. “The girl is so sad.”
The coquettish voice felt empty.
Anyway, Prince Cheonseong was coming out of the annex with a lot of bodyguards who were weaker than him.
Han Ibi thought.
‘There is no separate emperor. What could this be but the appearance of an emperor with a concubine and countless court ladies?’
At the same time, I thought about it again.
‘for a moment. Then this would be a good opportunity. I’ve just had a big job… It’s not like I’m a dragon, and I’m sure he won’t come back tonight… In that case, I think it would be appropriate to search the inside.’
Han Ibi felt like her heart was pounding and she was excited.
‘In a separate building with only women…’
he said to himself, desperately shaking his head.
‘no. no. This isn’t about having other thoughts or anything like that. Everything is just part of the pure purpose of solving the quest. Ugh.’
However, he was unable to provide himself with a logical explanation as to why he did not search the library or shrine.
Just as Prince Cheonseong and his companions were disappearing…
the night fog gathered in and enveloped the surroundings.
After the rather noisy farewell of the Lord of Cheonseong Palace, the outbuilding was once again enveloped in silence.
‘Now is the right time to infiltrate.’
Han Ibi scooped up the black dirt on the ground and smeared a lot of it on her face.
Even though it may not be perfect, it will have the effect of hiding to some extent in case of an emergency.
Then, as he stood up, he activated the Immortal Treasure.
The Fudo Myeongwangbo played a role in rapid shinshinjutsu, but as its name suggests, it also had great functions in concealment and infiltration.
‘It’s strong without a sound. ‘I wonder what that is…’
Han Ibi thought to herself as she approached the high wall surrounding the outbuilding.
‘Tsk tsk tsk. In any case, those who hold power seem to become more greedy and more suspicious. They couldn’t trust their own family members, so they built
this wall….’
It may not be something that Lord Cheonseong came up with.
It could be a tradition passed down from ancestors.
Come to think of it, it seemed like the elaborately built stone wall was at least several decades old.
Han Ibi activated her design analysis skills and inspected the surroundings.
The spaces were distributed in various ways, but
there was only one building inside that could be called a large building.
Fortunately, the search didn’t seem to take very long.
After Prince Cheonseong disappeared… the disciple who was standing guard was also drooping as if he was relaxed.
Han Ibi used the wall-climbing technique she learned from Maeng Gap-son and instantly jumped onto the wall and did a somersault.
Land on the floor.
It didn’t make as much noise as an ant walking.
A movement that is truly a model of Shinshinjutsu.
The inside of the building was mostly dark.
‘Is everyone already sleeping?’
Han Ibi lowered her body and looked around the building.
However…
the restraint system was almost at the prison level.
‘why not?’
Did he hide his wife’s concubines so tightly because he couldn’t trust them?…
At that time, the sound of Han Ibi sobbing could be heard through the gap in the closed window frame where she was standing.
Judging by her tone of voice, she seemed to be a young girl.
At that moment, another soft female voice was heard.
“Hey. Stop crying. “It’s no use doing that.”
“I miss my mother so much.”
The woman sighed and said.
“Who here doesn’t do that… but you’ll soon get used to it.”
“Why did I come this far?”
“What can I do? I should resent your beautiful appearance. “If it were just an ordinary face, I would have been pouring drinks and singing songs at the kiru.”
“I… I haven’t even learned how to do it yet. Sobbing. “I don’t know what to do now.”
“As for what to do… Since you have been selected, the most important thing is to please Lord Cheonseonggung. Starting tomorrow, you will learn how to please the palace lord…”
‘Tsk tsk tsk.’
Han Ibi, who was even more distressed to hear this, soon left the scene.
‘This is a really bad guy. You are taking advantage of the special nature of operating a giru to satisfy your personal self-interest. When I heard the voice, it seemed like she was a young girl…’
In any case, Han Ibi had confirmed that this outbuilding was being used to confine people.
He decided to approach the fence again and escape.
‘I don’t think anyone other than women would have been imprisoned here. There is no way they would have created something like a prison cell in a place where spit-covered women were tightly locked away. Let’s get out of here…’
That was then.
“Why do you come here so often these days?”
‘omg.’
“I don’t know. “It seems like you really like the new kid.”
“Geez… how long will it take this time?”
“I don’t even know about that quirk.”
“Shh. Be careful what you say. Then, let’s go.”
“joy. “You shout at someone who hears you.”
“But you still don’t know.”
The voices of older women.
They are probably the people who manage the interior of the annex.
Their steps were gradually heading in this direction.
But there was no suitable place to hide.
If things continue like this… even if you succeed in escaping, you will end up disturbing Cheonseong Palace.
Han Ibi was embarrassed and looked left and right, then…
‘Damn it… ‘I’m the crazy one who came in out of curiosity.’
While complaining, he soon began climbing up the exterior wall of the building using the Fudo Myeongwangbo.
At the same time, I saw two middle-aged women appear around the corner.
Han Ibi, who felt like her stomach was burning, looked down at the women and climbed the wall with all her might like a monkey, and finally… she
succeeded in climbing onto the tile roof.
‘Whew.’
But even for a moment.
Han Ibi was so shocked that she couldn’t be more shocked.
Isn’t there a black figure crouching on the roof?
He whispered as he noticed Han Ibi’s appearance.
“If you don’t want to get screwed, shut up.”
Of course, I had no choice but to shut up.
As he spoke, he never took his eyes off the crack in the roof he was examining.
he muttered.
“Oh my… the good times are over. Tsk tsk. It was my own paradise.”
Han Ibi had no idea what he was talking about.
He spoke again in a whisper.
