Absolute Sword Sense

[Episode 105: Imperial Palace (2)]

Yiyang Xiaojia, Yulang County, Hunan Province.

Ikyang Soga, which had been extremely quiet recently, was extremely noisy.

This was because Mrs. Yang, the wife of the head of the house, So Ik-heon, the owner of Jagyangdang, who had been sick with a fire disease for several months, was holding a big party.

She suffered from a mental illness that did not get better even after being treated by a doctor for a while.

But now it seemed like it would fly faster than anyone else.

Because So Woon-hwi, who was so unpleasant to see, disappeared.

I was worried that he might reappear, but seeing as he had been missing for seven months, I was sure that would not happen.

‘It can't be this good since the tooth I was sick with fell out.'

Thanks to this, the eldest son, So Yeong-hyeon, who had given up on advancing to the Moorim Federation as a later Jisoo, was more happy than anyone else as he was able to come to Seoul for the grand party leader election ceremony held by the Moorim Federation.

“I salute you, Madam Yang.”

“Oh, is Lady Song here?”

The handsome middle-aged woman who congratulated her was the matriarch of the Song family of the Joseon Dynasty.

“We held a party, so of course you should come.”

Those who attended the feast were influential local nobles and warriors from Hunan Province.

They too knew full well why Mrs. Yang had acquired the vase, so they came to congratulate her.

“I heard that your son is joining Hwangryongdang, led by the So family head of the Moyong family?”

“It just so happened to be like that.”

I said it casually, but how much did you invest in Moyongsega to make this happen?

Thanks to this, at the same time as he entered the Murim League, his eldest son, So Yeong-hyeon, was promised to become a member of Hwangryongdang.

What could be better than this, as you have established relationships with the five major families and the path to success has opened up to you.

“Ho ho ho. “It’s a nice day, so everyone sleeps.”

“Even so, I told the guesthouse to prepare a bed in advance today.”

“Well done.”

There was someone who enjoyed this feast just like her: So Yoon, the second son of the Ikyang So family.

He too had been afraid of So Unhwi since that incident.

So, he was stuck in the family and went out of his way, refusing to drink his favorite drink, but now there is no need to do that at all.

“Hahaha. Please eat a lot. “It will be hard to see your face when I go to the Wulin Federation soon.”

“I need to drink a lot of this to prepare for the future.”

“Drink with a crooked nose today.”

When So Yoon raised his glass, the young late-stage expats followed suit and cheered.

While everyone was so happy, the only person who was drinking alone with a heavy face was So Ik-heon, the head of the Ikyang Soga.

When I heard the news of So Woon-hwi's success, the reality of his own sons not being able to do anything was extremely depressing.

However, So Woon-hwi, who was also suffering from the disease, went missing and the sons were given a chance, but instead of feeling good, they felt heavy.

It was because I felt sorry for Mrs. Ha, whom I loved.

“Your father seems upset.”

“joy. “Leave it alone.”

Mrs. Yang and her children resented the head of the family, Soikheon.

The affection between his wife and her children began to decline when So Woon-hwi, who was merely a concubine, suffered such humiliation and did not take any action.

‘We’ll see. ‘I will rise to a higher place than that lowly bastard.'

I thought that when that time came, the head of the family, So Ik-heon, would regret it forever.

As the feast continued for a long time, the gatekeeper of Soga came running quickly and shouted.

“Matriarch. “The wise spirit has arrived.”

“Oh oh. Has the wise spirit come? “Get inside quickly.”

The person who answered was not the head of the family, So Ik-heon, but Mrs. Yang.

“All right!”

‘You came.'

Mrs. Yang didn't show it, but she was very happy.

For the prefect of a county to attend a banquet was an act of honoring the family.

I sent an invitation just in case, but I didn't have high expectations, so I saved face.

Not long after, the head of Yulang County appeared at the back where a feast was taking place.

For the prefect of a county to attend a banquet was an act of honoring the family.

The head of the family, So Ik-heon, and his adoptive wife, So Yoon, also welcomed him.

“Are you here? “Hyeonryeong will get better.”

“So, head of the household. “It’s been a long time since the last Lunar New Year.”

The wise man smiled and greeted me.

Mrs. Yang spoke politely to him, pointing to the highest seat.

“I am humbled that the Holy Spirit graces the occasion like this. Please go to your seat quickly.”

In response, the Hyeonryeong put his hands together and took the sword and said:

“I should first congratulate you. “Matriarch and wife.”

Mrs. Yang wondered to herself at those words.

This was because the Murim people knew the situation and it was a cause for celebration, but for Hyeonryeong, his son's entry into the Murim League was not that big of a deal.

“You must be happy to have such a wonderful son.”

Mrs. Yang felt happy to hear those words from the wise man.

Seeing that the county governor congratulated me this much, it sounded like he wanted to continue a friendly relationship with the Ikyang Soga.

However, she is left speechless by the words that follow behind her.

“How could this not be a happy event since the youngest leader of the martial arts league was born in our Yulang County?”

‘!?'

Everyone here could not believe their ears.

-Roaring!

The banquet hall was crowded.

What does this mean, the youngest leader of the martial arts league?

Mrs. Yang said in confusion.

“Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

“You don’t know yet? “You mean your son became the leader of the Murim Alliance?”

“yes?”

So-yoon So-yoon raised his voice and asked a question without realizing it while he was drunk.

What nonsense is this?

How long has it been since his older brother, So Yeong-hyeon, came to Seoul as part of the martial arts league that he became the leader?

“Wow, our Younghyun is the leader.....”

“Ah. “I think there is some mistake.”

“A mistake?”

“So Unhwi, Sogeomseon, the third son of the Ikyang Soga, the pride of our Yulang County, has become the leader of the Murim.”

‘!!!'

In an instant, the room became noisy.

It was So Woon-hwi who had been missing for nearly seven months.

It was hard for anyone to believe that he had suddenly become the leader of the martial arts league.

“So Sounhwi?”

Mrs. Yang, heartbroken, trembled with her hands and feet and asked the name back.

“Hahaha, that’s right. “I am truly happy that the leader of the Jeongdo Martial Alliance and the greatest sword in the world was born in our Yulang County.”

‘Nonsense!'

So-yoon So-yoon was dumbfounded as he saw Hyeon-ryeong smiling brightly.

What does this guy who was thought to be dead suddenly become the leader of the Wulin Federation and what does this incredible title of the best sword in the world mean?

Looking at the Hyeonryeong’s happy attitude, it seems like it is definitely not a lie.

‘So Woon-hwi, who are you... Now wait a minute... Then what happens to that person, So Yeong-hyeon?'

Didn’t his older brother come to Seoul to join the Murim League?

I was embarrassed and looked at my wife as if she were my mother.

“Ahh.”

Mrs. Yang, who turned pale, immediately fell to the floor.

“mother! mother!”

Since the wise spirit did not know why they were reacting this way, he smiled and said to the head of the family.

“It looks like the head of the house was very surprised. ha ha ha. “It would have been the same if it had happened to me.”

“.......”

To the wise man’s words, the head of the family, Soikheon, had no answer.

Because that too was a big shock.

‘That kid is the leader?'

It was even absurd that So Unhwi, who had disappeared, reappeared and became the leader of the Murim Alliance.

It is no exaggeration to say that this was an extraordinary event in the history of the political faction, Moorim.

Looking at Mrs. Yang and So So-yoon who had collapsed, he let out a sigh.

“Haa.....”

‘Sir...is this your punishment?’

If So Un-hwi, who was no one else, had become the leader, the path to success for his own sons, Yeong-hyeon and Jang Yoon, as martial artists would have been blocked for their entire lives.

All of this may have been the karma of not being able to properly protect So Woon-hwi as Ha-ryeong’s last request.

* * *

Inside King Gyeong’s royal carriage.

“What exactly is that trick you showed me just now? “How can you enter a closed carriage without even opening the door?”

King Gyeong was impressed and asked me.

To this, I answered while adjusting the appearance of the guard uniform I had removed from the real Yeonsaeng and changed into.

“It’s just a trivial trick.”

At those words, King Gyeong clicked his tongue and spoke to me.

“How can that be such a trivial talent? “It appears to be a dangerous method that could result in anyone being assassinated if it appears so suddenly without any sign of approaching.”

Aside from being surprised, the insight was also deep.

In the meantime, you can see how dangerous the Chukji technique is.

“Don’t worry. “To learn this skill, you have to practice the path for hundreds of years.”

‘!?'

King Gyeong’s eyes widened at my words.

“No then...what on earth?”

I guess I want to ask how old you are.

I smiled at this.

What I wanted even more was if they misunderstood and made things more difficult for me.

Anyway, it was much better to wear the official uniform of a military officer instead of the thin, see-through gyeongjang that a gisaeng would wear.

It was pants, not a skirt.

-Please stop for a moment.

A voice came from outside.

It seems that the gatekeepers guarding the checkpoint at the palace gate stopped the carriage.

After the general guarding King Gyeong completes the process of showing his identity card, he will be able to enter the outer palace.

“The atmosphere outside the palace is stricter than usual.”

Even though it was night, the number of soldiers was much greater than I had seen before.

Obviously, as I heard from Song Jwa-baek, this is something that the Great Yan Empire should be happy about.

“It is no different from a war, so we must be on full alert.”

“exhibition?”

“His Majesty, who was ill, was not only unable to appear at an official event, but also issued a secret order to all the princes to quickly return to the palace.”

Ah...did you give that order?

What I learned through Ganja was the former that King Gyeong mentioned.

It is said that the emperor, who was ill, appeared much better than before.

His whereabouts were made known when he announced in front of the ministers that all of this was due to his good faith in all matters and that he would be rewarded with a large reward.

“What do you think of His Majesty’s summons order?”

At his question, I remained silent for a moment.

And then he said:

“I guess it’s to decide on a successor.”

King Gyeong raised his eyebrows at my words and said.

“As expected, you’re smart.”

“Even though you were sick for a long time, you did not decide on a crown prince.”

The emperor did not install the crown prince despite his long illness.

That is why an incident occurred in the future when King Gyeong raised a large army and took over the entire government.

But it seems a lot different from the history I know.

Originally, the emperor of the time never received medical treatment from God and died without being able to appoint a successor.

At this time, King Jin, who was in the imperial palace, took possession of the royal seal and confronted King Yeong, and King Gyeong, who was outside, advanced toward the imperial capital with the Northern Defense Force and the two armies of the Five Tiger Dogs.

-It's much faster.

okay.

As expected, each of my actions seems to have had a great impact.

Anyway, King Jin was so frightened that there was no need to keep him in check after that incident, but for King Gyeong, the most dangerous opponents right now would be the Empress Dowager and King Yeong.

-Those two will also try to drive out King Gyeong somehow.

Probably so.

In fact, if the princes had not been summoned undercover, it would have been thought of as a crown prince installation.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that is not the only thing. “

There

is no way to know whether it was really the Emperor who called me or whether it was a secret intention.”

The same words as I predicted came out of King Gyeong's mouth.

He also seems to have predicted the situation to some extent.

So, even though it was a bravado, it was probably accompanied by Yeonsaeng, a security guard.

“You decided it might be a trap.”

“okay. “If I let my guard down today, my life might be in danger.”

King Gyeong’s voice became quite serious.

Well, it was natural to be nervous since you never know what might happen inside the imperial palace.

I said that to King Gyeong.

“But isn’t the reason you so calmly follow the emperor’s orders because there is an alternative solution?”

There was no way such a clever person would head to a dangerous place without even his own self-defense measures.

King Gyeong smiled faintly at these words.

“That is correct. This is why I covet you as a talent.”

“Please leave that feeling alone.”

“Hehe. You're not giving me any space at all. Anyway, I have someone to escort me from the inner palace, and I’m glad you came at the right time.”

King Gyeong told me that he felt much safer.

Even though he says that, his eyes are different from usual, so he is still ready to fight.

-You can go in.

The gates opened and the carriage began to move inside.

As we entered the outer palace, King Gyeong asked me.

“But how did you find your luggage? “It’s highly unlikely that he came here because he wanted to see Jim.”

“We need good faith in everything.”

King Gyeong responded to those words in a surprised voice.

“what? God of all things? “Isn’t that person currently serving as Your Majesty’s personal physician?”

“yes.”

In fact, I almost planned to force it out.

I wonder how King Gyeong will react here.

Before he was the emperor, he was his father.

“There is something I must do to get him there.”

King Gyeong raised his eyebrows at my words and said.

“You are trying to do something as dangerous as Jim.”

‘Something as dangerous as luggage?'

I looked into King Gyeong’s eyes.

Looking at what he said now, it seemed like he wasn't just protecting himself.

I asked him in a serious voice.

“...Do you want to see blood?”

In response to that question, King Gyeong sat with his chin tilted and spoke to me casually.

“If you want to see blood on the other side, shouldn’t you take action first?”

under!

Is this the essence of King Gyeong?

Historically, it remained a revolution because it succeeded in planning an uprising, but otherwise it was the spirit of someone who planned something that could be called treason.

‘Now that I think about it, I thought he said he could move the Spirit King?'

Seolbaek said that he heard that Emperor Jinsang gave up on King Jin after the incident that occurred at the tomb of King Pyeong of Chu and was in contact with King Yeong.

In that case, there was an extremely high chance that the current bastard or the brainmaster would be with the Young King.

They too are probably aiming for God's will in everything.

It was a very unfortunate situation.

“Help me with my luggage. In that case, I will safely place the trust in all things into your hands. Isn’t this enough to make a deal?”

King Gyeong looked at me intently and stated his request.

He seems confident that I will accept his offer.

To this, I spoke firmly.

“I refuse.

King Gyeong looked at me with an expression of incomprehension.

“...Why?”

“Regardless of whether you give it to me or not, I can take as much as you want in all things.”

‘!?'
