Episode 26
Oh Hee-chang, the head of the escort soldiers who came out after hearing the commotion belatedly, couldn’t help but feel absurd at the situation unfolding in front of him.
The man in the forefront, standing cross-legged, looks like a parakho.
Moreover, a kid who licked a bloody skewer as if he wasn’t afraid of iron poison, and a skinny old man with dark under his eyes. A bone in rags...? to the beggar holding the .
The only normal guy was a young man dressed as a guru with a dumbfounded expression behind them.
Who do you mean?
It is said that he had to step down, but it is a manor where King Yeong, the emperor’s uncle and the eldest of his relatives, lives.
It was impossible to intrude in this way without going crazy, even though there was no one unaware that this place was the manor of the King of Kings.
More than anything, what made Oh Hee-chang hesitate was the momentum of those who touched him with a relaxed attitude.
Heechang Oh
asked with a nervous expression.
“Do you guys know where the examples are?”
“...”
“I don’t know why, but since you messed with the manor of a close relative of the imperial family, it’s as if you’ve plotted treason. Of course, the death of Neungji (陵遲處死) and the death of the old people...
” You talk too much dirty talk.”
“...what?”
“What’s the neungjicheo? what is old people? Then I’m so sorry! Did you think I would apologize?”
“You guys! What is that?”
“What are you going to sleep on? Then stop it.”
Hubin Jinmu, who listened annoyedly, stepped forward without hesitation toward the escorts who had built a horizontal line.
Chaaaaang!
“I can’t stop!”
“...Why would you attack if the asshole told you to stop?”
Despite Oh Hee-chang’s threat, Jinmu continued to walk without hesitation.
It was the eyes and the feeling of intimidation that made my mind go crazy, but Oh Hee-chang’s mission was to protect the manor.
The new emperor reorganized the court and was expelled, becoming King Yeong’s private soldier, but he was also a military commander who once commanded the battlefield.
I couldn’t retreat in front of the enemy.
“profit! Hit!”
“...”
Hee-chang Oh commanded fiercely, and the long line of guards standing next to him erected their spears as if they had gained courage.
Shu Shu Shu Shu Shoot!
Soon, as dozens of changgeuks were played straight and quickly, Oh Hee-chang smiled in repentance.
The spirit king’s escort soldiers led by him are all elite. They were more versed in spearmanship than anyone else, and they had trained so much that blisters on their hands came off countless times.
The guy was arrogant.
As long as they are within the distance of the soldiers who are proud to be the best in spearmanship, there is absolutely no way to avoid...
“...?”
Oh Hee-chang doubted his own eyes for a moment.
what?
It must have been right in front of me... but it disappeared.
What the straight spear pierced was just empty space.
He had never taken his eyes off of him and hadn’t blinked, so why not?
chin.
At that moment, Oh Hee-chang raised his head as he felt something pressing his pitch.
“...!”
A grin on his face and a fist flying powerfully were reflected in his eyes.
Kwaaang!
“Keuouk!”
The helmet was bent and Oh Hee-chang’s body bounced off the floor.
“This little bastard is blocking the road and fucking.”
Standing in front of the fallen man, Jinmu spat.
In the first place, I had no intention of giving forgiveness to the guys in the manor.
They were the ones who clung to the king and carried out his orders. I had no intention of asking for their sins through an easy death, and I had no intention of taking into account their belated repentance.
I’d rather scream for death and make them struggle painfully for their sins.
“Turn it off.”
Jinmu, who was looking down at Oh Hee-chang, who was moaning in pain, smiled grimly and opened his mouth.
“not there yet.”
“...!”
Wow! Fast!
Soon, countless fists began to pound Oh Hee-chang’s body.
couldn’t get away Jinmu’s fists were pulling Oh Hee-chang closer to him instead of repelling them.
Puck puck puck! Kwajik!
“Buy it, save it...”
Oh Hee-chang, who couldn’t overcome the pain that penetrated to the bone, begged with all his might, but Jinmu did not stop his hand. On the contrary, they shredded the bones and burst the flesh.
The time of brutal destruction continued for a long time.
Hui-yi-yi...
After a short but long time, the wind stopped and the manor’s appearance was revealed.
The interior of the manor was devastating as if a storm had swept through it, and guards devoured by the dragon’s teeth were strewn everywhere.
And when Jinmu, who was standing tall in the center, waved his hand, the wall exploded again.
Wow!
There must have been a door to the inner garden next to it...
“What are you looking at?”
Hwangshin patted Seon Unyeon on the shoulder while staring blankly at Jinmu’s back as he walked inside.
“Isn’t it absurd? So do we.”
“What is that? What is the next stage of the river?”
“what?”
“...”
Hwangshin laughed at Unyeon, who was lost in thought.
“You sound like a river.”
“...?”
“That’s just... um Jinmu? Or is it because it is the realm of the Lord of Heaven?”
“yes?”
“I have no words to express. It’s something no one has ever achieved before.”
“Never achieved this...”
“Yeah, well, everything is like that at first.”
“...”
“But the more you watch, the more you get used to it. Sometimes, you can even run away.”
“Are you running away too?”
“uh.”
“...”
That was even more absurd. How the hell do you get away from that mad whirlpool?
“I was the only one who succeeded. Execution and Dongbo failed and were beaten for three days? I was so stunned So be careful too. Once you get dragged into that, there really is no answer.”
“Ah...”
I understood enough to explain that much.
Un-yeon made a deep-hearted resolution that she would never mess around with Hwangshin again.
And I thought.
Maybe... the true face of Sajo might not be like a sage dreaming of escaping the world and reaching the top, as others have said, but rather a frenzied ink dragon crouching in the middle of a storm.
* * *
Entering the inner garden, Jinmu stopped and took a closer look at the people waiting for him.
My eyes are blinded by the light reflected from the spears, swords and armor on the day when the inner garden was filled to the brim.
Moreover, no matter when they climbed up, the archers clinging to the walls and roof of the inner garden were pulling their strings all at once and aiming at the Jinmu party.
“I’ve prepared a lot since then.”
“....”
Jinmu’s gaze passed over the military commanders and reached the young king, who was sitting under the eaves of the building and drinking tea.
“Hey, aren’t you His Highness the King over there?”
“...”
Seeing him waving his hand cheerfully, the young king’s eyes twitched.
“oh! Who else am I? Isn’t it Jinmu Dojo? It’s been a long time.”
The young king replied cheerfully, as if he was very glad to see him.
“I guess you knew you were coming?”
“I roughly expected it. I heard that those under my command were attacked by the Murim people at the same time.”
“....”
“Didn’t you do that? You say Murim soon. So, I thought you would be the only one who moved the powers of the principality at the same time.”
“This is truly a terrifying insight. I can’t help but feel deeply moved that you remember Mubu’s words so much.”
“How can I not remember? You are the best in the world...”
The spears and swords were aimed at each other and their gazes were sharp as if they were going to pierce their hearts, but the two exchanged words as if they were old acquaintances.
“Is it ironic Kannon that the fragrance has been passed down since ancient times? Your taste has become quite sophisticated.”
“Aren’t I still the servant of the imperial family? Anyway, what are you doing with my house? It doesn’t sound like a good thing seeing you come here.”
“This is it. Compared to what you’ve been up to so far, your tone is sharp. When guests come, they don’t even serve a cup of tea.”
“customer? Ha ha ha!”
King Yeong suddenly burst into laughter at Jinmu’s voice.
“Hey, Jinmu Dojo.”
“...”
The voice subsided for a moment.
After putting down the teacup, the young king’s face was very cold unlike before, when he was happy at first glance.
“If you climb over the fence of someone else’s house, you are a thief. How can I treat you as a guest when I came home after breaking it? If you want to be treated as a guest, then formally hold the blade and enter the door.”
Jinmu rolled up the corners of his mouth at the words dripping with cold air, and put on a bleak smile.
“So write it. I came with a rough idea.”
