Episode 806. You mean you haven’t given up yet?
There is no greater disloyalty than that when the anger of the younger brother of the enemy reaches the emperor because of himself.
No, disloyalty is also disloyal, but you never know when you will be killed by an assassin’s sword.
The provincial commander Gu Si-woo, who came to his senses, shook his head violently.
“No. I swear the Emperor never said anything like that. Today’s work is my own decision.”
It’s not a lie.
I said ‘don’t choose the means and methods’, I didn’t say ‘shoot the cannon’.
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Gu Si-woo with ambiguous eyes.
It wasn’t a lying look, so what was the point of continuing to bite the emperor?
Thinking that far, I suddenly withered.
It may be because the Cheonhoso or the Geumgun are not even dangerous to themselves.
Throwing away the provincial commander at random, he immediately took up the technique of black cloud chasing.
The darkness lifted, and the son-in-law became bright.
The military officers gathered around the provincial commander belatedly discovered the Yeonjeokha and shuddered.
The provincial commander groaned as he crouched on the ground, but no one moved.
Before long, Yeonjeokha spoke to the military officers.
“Don’t think that I only took care of the provincial commander because I couldn’t handle the soldiers. It’s just that I didn’t touch the soldiers because they weren’t guilty. But that’s only until today. If you bother me again next time... I won’t care. I clearly warned you.”
“...”
The military officers looked at each other with embarrassed faces.
This is because it is the authority of high-ranking military commanders such as provincial commanders to move the military.
After he had finished his words, he flew off with the fortune-telling technique in front of 5,500 soldiers from the five thousand and one camps.
When he disappeared, the military officers scrambled to the provincial commander.
Gu Si-woo, who got up with the help of military officers, spit out blood from his mouth and asked.
“What about the damage of allies?”
Lieutenant Lieutenant Liu Yi-geun replied.
“Twenty artillery pieces of the Hwaryongdae have exploded and are no longer usable. Fifteen soldiers and a military officer of the Hwaryongdae were hit by the cannon fragments, but fortunately there were no fatalities.”
“Is that all?”
“no. Archers do slightly more damage than Fire Dragons. Fifty-five archers were hit by returning arrows. Fortunately, none of them died.”
Gu Siu nodded.
It is not enough to be reprimanded if there are only 70 wounded in actual battle.
If there are no deaths, it is a number that can be safely covered.
Ryu Yi-geun, who was looking at Gu Si-woo, who was lost in thought, asked cautiously.
“General, what are you going to do now?”
“What are you doing?”
“Are you going to continue the offensive? Or...”
Now that it turned out that they couldn’t withstand the enemy’s enemy with five thousand shelters, they had to decide whether to advance or retreat.
“The emperor himself bestowed a treasured sword on me and told me to bring weightlifters regardless of life or death.”
It was the sound of no retreat.
Ryu I-geun said as if he was frustrated.
“But haven’t you seen it? We cannot catch the enemy with our own abilities.”
“I’m thinking of deploying more troops.”
“Will it become a fight by increasing the number of troops?”
Liu Yi-geun shook his head.
The opponent is a sorcerer who changes day and night with his martial arts.
Can such a person be dealt with simply by increasing the number of heads?
“I don’t mean to increase it because it becomes a fight. There’s no other way, so that’s what I’m going to do.”
Gu Siu looked around the unit with dark eyes.
What he can do now is increase his troops and try again and retreat.
However, the latter cannot be arbitrarily decided because he received a special order from the emperor.
He had to convince the imperial family, but right now it was impossible.
Then all that remains is reinforcement.
If reinforcements fail, it becomes an excuse for retreat.
Ryu Yi-geun glanced at Gu Si-woo.
Judging by what he said, it seemed that it was not for reinforcements to win, but to build a just cause.
“cantonment.”
“ah! right. cantonment. They say they are making a camp under Mt. Cheongseong.”
“I see.”
Han So-yang stayed with Wol-ah and Geum-ah for a while and then left.
Han So-yang’s expression was dark as she walked along the wall of the inner garden.
As if running away without telling anyone, it has already been more than 15 days since he left the house.
‘ha! Will the family be all right?’
Suddenly, the words of destroying the three tribes came to mind.
The Nakseongmun Gate must have been terrifying since even the canvas was used in the detached palace where there were consorts under the heavens.
I just wanted to know if my family was alive or dead.
I liked the life of the Cheongseongpa, but I was very curious about the news outside.
Even prudent people often make impromptu decisions that will change their destiny.
Han So-yang was like that now.
‘wait. Didn’t I say that Cheonhoso’s soldiers were building a camp?’
Perhaps now, when surveillance is loose, is an opportunity.
It had been a long time since the soldiers’ attention had shifted from themselves to the younger enemy.
Of course, if you’re unlucky, you might get caught.
However, if his family members were killed because of him, there is no point in living alone.
‘Yes, what do you do if you live alone? If you die, you die.’
Missing the family she left behind, Han So-yang quietly left the hospital.
***
Very few people live in the royal palace.
Naturally, not long after, the people of Seokgyeongjang learned of Han Soyang’s absence.
Wol-ah and Geum-ah were the first to sense the anomaly.
When they couldn’t find Han So-yang, whom they had become close with recently, they searched every nook and cranny of the hospital.
But she was nowhere to be found.
Since Han So-yang was not welcomed by the Cheongseong faction, she lived only in the detached palace.
Therefore, if it is not in Naewon, it should be regarded as not in Cheongseongpa.
When they couldn’t find them until after dusk, Wol-a and Geum-a told Simtong that Han So-yang was missing.
The heartache was taken lightly.
To be precise, he had no interest in Han So-yang’s departure.
Dan Yun-mang’s response went one step further.
Thinking that things were messed up because of Han So-yang, he even said ‘It’s okay’.
It was at dinner that Yeon Jeok-ha and Nam Goong-yeon found out.
Nam Goong-yeon said, ‘Can’t you see the Han So-jeo?’
“I haven’t seen anyone since lunchtime. It seems that I descended the mountain without the knowledge of the Qingsongpa guru.”
“Hassan?”
Namgoongyeon narrowed her eyes.
There were 5,500 soldiers camped under the mountain, and it was shocking that they had to descend.
Wol-a, who was looking at the adults, spoke cautiously.
“Mother. These days, Sojeo Han often said, ‘It’s so frustrating because I don’t know if my family members are alive or dead.’ Is that why it went down? Sojeo Han will be all right, right?”
“I see. Don’t worry too much. Han Sojeo is the daughter of Nakseongmun Munju and has a fairly high level of inaction. It would be difficult for the soldiers to notice if the Qingsheng faction went out without their knowledge.”
“yes!”
“I hope nothing happens to Han Sojeo and Nakseongmun.”
Still, the only people who worried about Han So-yang were Wol-a and Geum-a.
That night.
Yeonjeokha, who was lying on the bed side by side with Namgungyeon and talking about Doran, asked.
“By the way, sister. The provincial commander keeps wandering around under the mountain, can I just leave it as it is?”
“If you’re at the level of a provincial commander, move by receiving a special order from the emperor. It’s because I can’t easily decide whether to move forward or backward.”
“Does that mean you haven’t given up yet?”
“It could be a situation where you just can’t give up. If that’s the case, they’ll try to gather more soldiers.”
“If you haven’t given up, you must have strengthened the vigilance around Mt. Cheongseong, right?”
“It will.”
While studying, I suddenly remembered Han So-yang.
I don’t know why she decided on such an important matter by herself without consulting her.
