Chapter 410

Episode 410

An uncomfortable seat led to awkwardness.

No matter what King Young asked, Cheol Ji-ryang only repeated yes or no, so the conversation couldn’t continue.

Alcohol was served to alleviate the awkwardness that seemed to last until the end of the table, and only after King Yeong made efforts to refill his glasses in turn did Cheolji-ryang speak a little bit.

“From what I heard, the government officials are making a remarkable contribution to maintaining public order in the region.”

“It doesn’t matter. We are just doing what we have to do, Your Highness.”

“Heh heh, what should I do? Aren’t Sapa and Demonic Cults completely uninterested in public order, even though they are all Murim people?”

“Yeah... It was, but it will change soon, so don’t worry.”

“Is it different?”

“yes. Now that the owner has changed, the atmosphere will also change.”

“Hmm, the owner has changed?”

The Young King, who had just taken a glass of wine, shone with curiosity.

“Are you referring to the Jinmu dojo called Mudangjigeom?”

“Ah, did you know?”

“Everyone knows. How could I not hear the name of the hero who made the midfield buzz now? Even though I am away from home, I can still hear it from time to time, mixed with the wind.”

As soon as the story of Jinmu came out, the atmosphere was surprisingly soft.

“I heard you got your hands on the Demonic Cult this time?”

“That’s right.”

The answer came from the firefighter Yang in the back.

“You look friendly. You didn’t say a word, and then you finally opened your mouth.”

“Ah, that’s... I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

When Yang Xiaobang, who had unknowingly stepped forward, scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression, King Yeong smiled broadly and waved his hand.

“Haha what do you mean? Let’s listen closely. I only heard my rumors, so I don’t know much. what kind of person is he? What kind of relationship do you two have?”

“That’s...”

Yang Xiaobang forgot the awkwardness and started talking excitedly, while Cheol Ji-ryang and Deung Yeopyeong listened with joyful expressions, like children listening to old stories.

“Was that Bukri Docheon really that great?”

“Oh yeah, yeah. There was no one to be defeated under the sky. Even if we fight in groups, he is a person we cannot win.”

“Even those who are called Heo Jeongmu-Chilseong are having a difficult time, so they are at the level of rookies.”

“What do you mean by beating such a Northern Lidocheon? It should have been right there. I missed an opportunity that will never come again.”

“Sorry. I heard that Mupunggae is full of friendly spirit.”

“Oh. If there’s one thing I like the most besides drinking, it’s going up against a master. Hot hot hot!”

King Yeong puts in a chu-im-sae, and so-bang Yang accepts it and chats excitedly.

Starting with the story of when he became a shaman, the fight with Cheol Ji-ryang, Cheonung-bang, Sapae-cheon, and then Makyo.

Because he had the most detailed understanding of Jinmu’s actions, he did not know that the story would end.

“This is burning my throat.”

“Eat, eat, hehe. It was so much fun that I didn’t even notice the time passing.”

Deung Yeopyung laughed and scolded Yang So-bang as he jumped out of the bottle.

“What kind of insolence is this in front of your brother, Your Highness the Young King?”

“What kind of ugliness is this man? You really like Jinmu’s story. Isn’t that right, Your Highness?”

“Ah, that’s right. Stories about Moorim heroes are fun even when you get older.”

“Look. Wait a minute. From the neck, which was once damp.”

“You were very excited. Excited.”

Deung Yeopyeong with both hands and feet shook her head at the free-spirited attitude of Yang So-bang.

Even after the entire bottle of alcohol was emptied, the story of Yang So-bang continued for a long time.

Jegal Hyupjin, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two in the back, looked at the king intently.

The Jegal family, a shaman family with a fairly good reputation in the Moorim world and one of the most prestigious families that had produced countless grand dignitaries earlier, had a closer relationship with the government than any other family.

Although he was a Jegal Hyeopjin who was concentrating on the work of Murim as a great military leader of the political affairs alliance, he was not completely ignorant of the circumstances of the government.

No, I knew it more closely than anyone else present.

Yeongwang Joo Gyeon-rin. The younger brother of the current emperor and the eldest adult in the imperial family.

He was the only person who remonstrated to the emperor, who neglected state affairs while wrapped in a woman’s skirt.

According to the prevailing opinion, without him, the current emperor would have been dethroned a long time ago.

A man more like an emperor than an emperor.

Why did he come to the Jeongmu-maeng?

He couldn’t have come just to hear about Jinmu’s heroic story.

With the restriction that no one should tell anyone about just that matter, he was not the person to contact when we met secretly by letter.

“Sorry if I was rude.”

“no. Rather, it was my fault for coming to you and secretly trying to steal it.”

“I apologize.”

“Hehe anyway, it’s really worth calling it Zhuge.”

“you’re welcome. I usually adored the name of the high, but seeing it in person, rumors weren’t everything. Indeed, the King of Kings delivers.”

“If I do, will you give me the answer I want?”

“...”

Jegal Hyeopjin was silent for a while as if he was thinking about it, then smiled.

They are laughing at each other, but they hold the upper hand in negotiations.

“If so, shall I become a merchant?”

“Do you want to start with the price?”

“Your Highness is in a hurry, so there is no need for me to hand over the goods first, right?”

“Am I in a hurry? Ha ha ha!”

At the words of Jegal Hyeopjin, King Yeong burst out laughing for a long time.

People believe that the emperor is descended from the sky, so they call him the Son of Heaven, and the imperial family is the place where those who inherited the blood gather.

Is it a person who exists above people?

Most of them were afraid of them and it was normal to be afraid of them, and they always tried to be polite and not make mistakes.

That’s why people in the imperial family can’t open up and make friends.

But these are different.

Above all, it is free.

Although he has manners, he knows how to express his thoughts as they are, and he knows how to share a drink with someone he likes without hesitation.

The King suddenly felt envy towards them.

“grounding.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The young king, who stopped laughing, called the leader of the alumni warriors who guarded the inner room.

“Let everyone out.”

“yes? How can you leave Your Highness alone in the midst of those who are no different from gangsters?”

“Hey, man. don’t you already know? I don’t mean to disparage you guys, but they are the seven stars of government. If you’re mean, you won’t be an opponent, no matter how elite your alumni are.”

“...”

The young king’s words narrowed his forehead as if his pride had been hurt, but he couldn’t refute it.

Didn’t he know the inaction of Chilsung Jeongmu better than anyone else?

More than anything, it seemed that the Young King did not want the words from now on to go into the ears of others.

He may not know himself who brought him from the closest place to the king, but not others.

Also, letting herself go would mean protecting this place so that no one wanders around.

“If you do, I will leave for a while.”

“hmm.”

King Yeong nodded, and the warriors of the stranding and alumni fired at Cheol Ji-ryang once and then left the inner room one by one.

“Is it okay for all of us to hear?”

For some reason, Jegal Hyupjin, who thought that a serious conversation would come and go, asked, and the king nodded heavily.

The wine glass was emptied, and soon the young king’s mouth opened.

“What I want to say from now on is the shame of the current imperial family. Listen to it, but you must never say it.”

“...”

The King, who spoke as if he had made a promise, took a moment’s pause before opening his mouth again.

“Have you ever heard of overkill?”

“...?”

While everyone was puzzled, only Jegal Hyeopjin hardened his face.

How can you not know?

The secret story of the current imperial family, which could be accused of treason and killed just by talking about it.

“Your Majesty, how could you do that...”

Zhuge Hyeopjin tried to stop him, but the King raised his hand to stop him.

“Everybody who knows anything about it knows it.”

“...”

Jegal Hyeopjin now began to feel uneasy.

All in all, it’s an overcompensation.

I felt like I was caught up in something too big.
