Episode 177: What do I need to know (2)
A dozen officials, led by Jangho, ran frantically.
When we reached our destination, a ridiculous situation unfolded.
It was truly a spectacle.
Seven colleagues from the opening department were captured and dragged away by soldiers.
Their number is about thirty. At first glance, the heavily armed soldiers were clearly an elite unit, each of whom had mastered martial arts.
The end of the procession had reached a deserted street.
“Stop!”
The soldiers stopped walking at the same time as Jang Ho shouted.
Then the most notable of the soldiers stepped forward.
Judging by the red tassels decorated on his helmet, he must be a provincial-level officer commanding a unit.
He glared at Jangho with an expressionless face.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did you arrest officials performing official duties!?”
“There are suspicions of rebellion against them, so we will be investigating.”
What kind of nonsense is this?
Jangho stammered and asked a question.
“My civil war!? “What kind of nonsense are you talking about!?”
“Go away. Otherwise, we will consider you as accomplices and arrest you.”
Jangho rummaged around in his arms with an expression of shock.
Then he took out the notebook that Wang Sa-pyeong had written in his hand and opened it.
“We are officials carrying out a mission under Buyun’s orders! “Can you take responsibility for those words?”
Wang Sa-pyeong was a big man that no amount of gold could touch.
Nevertheless, the officer’s face was full of composure.
“iced coffee. Are you talking about King Daein? “I don’t know what significance there is in the conspiracies of someone arrested for treason.”
Wang Siping, who went to see the emperor, was arrested?
No one believed him. How dare you make a pun against Gaebong’s Buyun.
That was all I could think of.
Finally, Jangho’s eyes rolled back.
“What what treason!? How dare you talk nonsense!?”
At that moment, the officer who was glaring at Jang-ho rushed at him like a thunderbolt.
It was a sudden surprise attack.
With no time to dodge, the sole of his foot was kicking Jangho’s front chest.
Jang-ho flew for a day and ended up falling to his death in an awkward manner.
As if they had been waiting, the soldiers began to draw their swords at the same time.
visor-! Chaechang-!!
The two Podu and dozens of Pogwae were very angry at the current situation.
But there was nothing they could do.
It was impossible to fight the Golden Army, and the difference in number was overwhelming.
“Everyone kneel. Otherwise, you will be considered a traitor.”
The officer’s next words caught everyone off guard.
It was to the point where I doubted whether the situation unfolding before my eyes was a dream.
What on earth does Geumgun intend to threaten them with?
My pride couldn’t be tolerated when I got down on my knees.
However, if you ignore it, a conflict will occur.
It was a dilemma.
“Where on earth can you find such recklessness?”
Podu Yangjeong, who was watching, could not bear it anymore and asked, but it was no use.
“It is the last warning. “Kneel.”
The hearts of the officials in the opening department were boiling.
It was an absurd situation, but what choice was there?
Yang Jeong looked to the right and whispered in a dying voice.
“I will follow Jang’s wishes.”
Gunpo leader Jangho closed his eyes tightly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the confidence to kneel down.
‘Damn it... if only the priest had been with me.’
It was unfortunate that Jeon Chung, the most expert in the opening department, was not here.
If he was here, how could the Geumgun threaten them with force?
However, he had left for the palace with Wang Sa-pyeong. There was no news from either of them for several days, so I didn’t even know what happened.
Jangho tried to kneel in the lead.
Something was strange.
Why can’t my knees bend suddenly?
“There is no time for a long sentence, so please decide quickly.”
“This is strange. “My knees don’t move.”
However, Yoo Seol responded by tapping his palm with a club as if he didn’t care.
“Do I even need to know that?”
There was no provocation like this.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Everyone in Geumgun blushed. It looked like blood was gushing out.
The subordinates were already waiting for orders with their swords drawn.
He also slowly began to pull the sword from his waist.
“The justification is sufficient, so kill him. “I take responsibility.”
One of the most impatient soldiers took the lead and ran out.
There was no hesitation in the movement of extending the sword. It was an impossible movement for anyone who had not undergone intensive training.
Yu Seol didn’t even move even though the tip of the sword was approaching his throat.
Just as his throat was about to be pierced.
Suddenly, like a lie, the tip of the sword stopped in midair.
Everyone watching widened their eyes in surprise.
This is because Yoo Seol was holding the blade between his thumb and index finger.
“What is that....”
“How can that...?”
Soldiers of the Golden Army can hone their martial skills and store power in their weapons.
Who could snatch their sword with two fingers? And that too right in front of your nose.
What was even more absurd was from now on.
“...bff.”
The soldier tried to retrieve the sword, but it wouldn’t budge.
Even though I tried so hard to grit my teeth.
The strength of both hands cannot overcome the strength of two fingers.
At that time, Yoo Seol turned his head to the right and asked Jang Ho.
“You saw it, right?”
“You tried to kill me first.”
Jangho could not guess his intention.
His face was full of anxiety as he tilted his head.
“What do you mean by that?...”
“Tell my grandpa a good story later.”
Yes. Until now, Yu Seol had secured the legitimacy of a counterattack.
And from now on, there was no longer any need to endure it.
One corner of Yoo Seol’s mouth slightly turned up.
And then.
In the blink of an eye, the club that Yooseol was holding was hitting the soldier in the stomach.
“Ouch!”
With a single groan, he flew over three sheets and rolled on the floor.
No one really saw how he was attacked.
A movement beyond imagination.
And the soldiers became completely mute due to the immense power. Everyone froze, not knowing what to do.
On the other hand, the officials of the opening department looked like they knew what was coming.
“Attack everyone at once!”
Only now did the Geumgun officers realize that something strange was going on.
They were all highly trained soldiers.
They overcame their fear and ran towards Yuseol at the same time.
“die!”
“How dare you!”
The officer also moved to the right and began digging into the flank.
Sword blades were flying from all directions, but Yu Seol did not blink an eye.
With a loud explosion, three soldiers simultaneously soared into the sky.
Tsk-! Kwasik-! bang-!!
Every time the club cut through the wind, a desperate scream broke out.
There was no one who could withstand the sum of the work.
The blade of the sword that came into contact with the club was instantly broken off, and the heavily armored armor of the golden soldier was crumpled like a piece of paper.
In an instant, the situation was heading toward chaos.
Meanwhile, it was about three miles away from there.
Podu Yangjeong asked Jangho with a mesmerized expression.
“Hyung Jang. What on earth is going on? “Shouldn’t I stop you?”
“who? I? “I can’t stop this situation right now even if Bishop Jeon Chung comes.”
“Oh what should I do.... “We are now ruined.”
Jangho’s eyes were half-open, as if he had already given up.
“There is no turning back now. “Maybe...we’ll all be hung by the ropes.”
