Episode 360

What should I do?

Hwang Cheon-gon was a third-rank deputy of the Gangdong-do Commandery, and was a loyal servant who assisted Ju Han-seon for a long time.

He had strongly insisted on suppressing the Shinhwa Rebellion, but he did not like the fact that Ju Han-seon was facing So Cheon-ma alone.

‘I don’t think there should be much to say.’

He knew very well that Socheonma had a cunning tongue.

So I just hope that Joo Han-sun doesn’t get carried away and make the wrong decision.

Because deep down, he wanted to keep Joo Han-seon by his side.

But if she makes the wrong choice, there’s no choice… … .

“Your Excellency, the Taoist master has secretly called you separately.”

“Inspiration? Me?”

Chief Hwang tilted his head at the report of his subordinate who had come to him cautiously.

“Yes. It seems that the leader of the equator is using his tongue to cloud the judgment of the old man, so I need the advice of the chief inspector to confirm the facts…”

“If that’s the case, I should be willing to give my head. Where should I go?”

Chief Hwang got up from his seat without any doubts.

Because sometimes, like now, when there is a situation where the main line is blocked, I would listen to the opinions of the captains.

and…….

Once he entered the barracks, he never came out again.

* * *

“… … .”

Hanbangrip looked towards the barracks with an anxious face.

The adjutant approached him cautiously and whispered.

“What on earth are you talking about inside? With your breath taken away.”

“… … .”

“Moreover, it is said that a few people received a call from the commander one after another just a little while ago.”

For a moment, Hanbanglip’s eyes flashed coldly.

“Are you calling?”

“Yes. Hwangcheon-gon, Nam Sa-ye, and Baek Do-rak were summoned to the barracks one after another and haven’t come out yet.”

“… … .”

“Could something be wrong?”

Hanbanglip clicked his tongue lightly.

All the people mentioned by the adjutant are called Dohansoo’s, or rather, Juhanseon’s confidants.

But in reality, they were just swindlers who had been recruited by the company.

After a factional group called the Cheongrim faction took control of the government, the military became a place where no one could move without the Cheongrim faction’s permission.

Even if there was an order from the Emperor, if the Cheongrim faction refused, the dispatch would be delayed or canceled.

However, the Gangdong-do Commander, led by Joo Han-seon, still remains as the Emperor’s right-hand man.

They too were being recruited into the Cheongrim faction one by one, and now they were half in their hands.

But those who were thus recruited were called?

Just like Hanbangrip, he still swears loyalty to Joo Hansun.

And although he was proud that Joo Han-sun had not yet discovered his true intentions, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy about something.

‘I shouldn’t have left you and Socheonma to make room for each other.’

When Joo Han-seon said he was talking to So Cheon-ma, what if he had just ignored him and swept his troops away?

If that were the case, there would be no need to be so anxious.

But Joo Han-seon was meticulous in his approach.

Because they took the initiative and said they would talk to Socheonma first before they could even come forward.

‘… So it looks like we are also suspicious.’

When Hanbangrip’s eyes began to sink deeply.

“I’d rather approach you secretly-”

“Don’t do useless things.”

Hanbangrip’s sharp gaze pierced through the adjutant.

“You say something like that knowing how wary the Commander-in-Chief is of suspecting you?”

“… … .”

“Resist. Now is not the time to be suspicious.”

“… my thoughts were short-sighted.”

The adjutant stepped back, bowing his head slightly.

But the sparkling eyes did not fade.

‘You idiot. Do you think the princess will open her heart to you just because of that? You’re a guy who’s blinded by love and will ruin his great cause. You should just get rid of him after this is over, okay?’

The Cheongrim faction wanted to take control of Gangdong-gun as soon as possible. If they did, the emperor would really have his hands and feet cut off.

However, Han Bang-rip, who was leading this work, was strongly opposed to it.

The inaction of the main line is unexpectedly great, so there are some things that cannot be easily touched.

This was because Hanbanglip was boasting that they would somehow entice Joo Han-sun to their side.

‘First, I’ll see what kind of deal is made with Socheonma, and then I can decide what to do with him.’

The adjutant suspected that the emperor was secretly colluding with Socheonma under the pretext of suppressing the heretics.

If something like that were to happen, it would ruin the great undertaking, so I was planning to ignore Hanbangrip and immediately step forward to stop it.

His true identity is an assassin raised by Gusado.

I could step forward at any time.

“Comrade, elder.”

At that moment, a soldier came out of the barracks and approached Han Bang-rip.

“What’s going on?”

“The Taoist master is calling.”

“Am I the only one talking?”

“Yes, that’s right. He told me to bring it in secret.”

“…Okay, tell them I’ll come see you soon.”

The adjutant watched the back of the soldier returning to the barracks, then took out a dagger from his bosom and handed it to Hanbangrip.

“If something happens, take this out right away. It might buy you some time.”

“You really think there’s something going on inside.”

“Isn’t it better to be prepared? If nothing happens, then it’s good. If not… then you have to act immediately.”

“… I wanted to end it quietly. This is how things turned out. In that case, you should wait outside the barracks. If anything happens, you should be able to report it immediately.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hanbangrip clicked his tongue lightly, took the dagger, and put it inside his sleeve.

“Have a nice trip.”

As Hanbangrip moved towards the barracks, the adjutant also looked around and then quietly disappeared into the shadows.

Swish!

“Master, I came because you called me.”

“Come in.”

Hanbangrip took a deep breath in front of the door and went inside.

Many thoughts were running through my head.

What on earth was going on in there?

What happened to the people who were called?

Has Joo Han-seon already joined hands with So Cheon-ma and is he threatening to force him to leave Cheonglim?

What could they possibly offer as terms of a deal?

What if we were to suggest that we go to Juhanseon and attack Socheonma together?

But Hanbangrip’s worries did not last long.

The moment I entered the barracks, the smell of blood hit me and made me snap out of my thoughts.

“!?”

On the floor, the deputies who had been called earlier were already lying with their heads cut off.

Blood still gushed out from his head, stained with fear, and stained the carpet on the floor red.

and…….

Joo Han-seon was still sitting at the table with an indifferent expression, tilting his teacup to his lips.

“I already knew that there were a few members of the Cheonglim faction… no, the Gwihyeolshinhoe lurking in Gangdong-gun.”

A cold voice.

The prayers flowing out from Joo Han-seon filled the barracks and suffocated Han Bang-rip.

“But comrade, I didn’t think you would be the one to get involved.”

“… Tao, Taoist priest.”

“Why? Your family, which has served as the third duke, should have nothing to lack. Why did you join the rebels?”

“Oh, I think there’s some misunderstanding….”

Hanbangrip swallowed dry saliva and secretly put his trembling hands into his sleeve.

The exact name of the meeting, which even he did not know, came out of Joo Han-seon’s mouth.

If that’s the case, then it means that I have some definite suspicion.

“Is there a misunderstanding?”

“Yes, that’s right. As you know, our family has been a place that has received grace since the time of King Taejo. So why would I have a disrespectful heart? Don’t you know my feelings toward the Taoist master better than anyone else?”

“I know. I know very well. How can I not know your lust for power, which is to become the royal concubine and monopolize the family?”

“… … .”

“But it seems like he wasn’t going to end up as a Prince of the West, but rather was looking beyond that. Well, since he inherited half of the blood of a Westerner, not a Central Plains, he probably thought it would be easy to use him.”

“that-”

“In fact, that’s exactly why I didn’t give you my heart. You were too greedy for your means.”

“!”

“I’ll ask again. Is that why you made this choice?”

Hanbangrip felt that the conversation was no longer working and quickly took out a dagger from his sleeve.

There was a powerful spell cast on it.

Even if Socheonma is an excellent magician, he won’t be able to completely block this magic item containing the magical power of Gusado.

There would be a huge explosion, and he would immediately run away to the retreat route he had prepared in advance. He was confident in the one thing he could do: the art of repentance.

Even if I got caught, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Since the adjutant has already been taken outside, the news will easily reach Cheongrim.

‘Wait a minute! But where is Socheonma-‘

dump!

Suddenly, a corpse fell in front of Hanbangrip.

It was his adjutant who should have gone outside the barracks as usual. His eyes, staring into space, were powerless.

“!!!”

At that moment, Hanbangrip realized that things had gone wrong and tried to activate the magic weapon.

Squeak!

At some point, Joo Han-seon used his sword technique to cut off his wrist and head in one fell swoop.

He didn’t miss the moment of surprise.

Just before the vision went black, Hanbangrip’s empty gaze and the hardened face of Joo Hanseon and Socheonma’s face wearing a white mask appeared on the ceiling.

The white mask looked as if it was smiling.

As if he knows all your thoughts… … .

Phew oh oh!

The blood pouring out from the severed head of the Hanbangrip soaked the carpet even more.

“…ha.”

Joo Han-seon sat down on the floor weakly.

Already the fifth.

Clearly, cutting down so many subordinates, with whom I had been laughing and chatting until the morning, brought on tremendous mental fatigue.

“There is no one with blood demon energy anymore, so you don’t have to worry.”

Blood Demon Energy was a name given by Yun Hui, and it was an energy that those who belonged to the Blood Spirit Society possessed, even if only a little.

It was difficult to determine clearly before, but after obtaining the Hwaan’s Ark, I was able to clearly discern everything with the Mashin’an.

“Do you regret it?”

Yun-hui stared at Joo Han-seon, who seemed to have aged ten years in half a day.

Joo Han-seon shook his head, clenching his teeth.

“No. It was something that had to be done at some point. If we had left it alone any longer, even Gangdong-gun would have fallen into their hands. Thank you for your help.”

“This is just a stopgap measure anyway. The company will probably try to counterattack somehow soon.”

“For the time being, I plan to have those I can trust guard the Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Palace.”

Joo Han-seon’s gaze turned to Yun-hui.

“But are you really not planning on going to the imperial capital right away? Your Majesty would be very pleased if the lord came.”

Yun-Hwi shook his head firmly.

“I have more work to do right now. I’ll move on as soon as I’m done with the arrangements. That would be much better for the Emperor, too.”

He had to make sure that the believers arrived safely at Cheonmagung Palace, and as the leader of the Wifung Sect, he had to finalize the contracts with the four heads of the clans: Murong, Huangbo, Guyang, and Peng.

‘I think I should meet the Lord of Mujeong as well. I need to figure out whether he has completely fallen for the Bloodthirsty Gods or not.’

First, he had to drive out all traces of the Bloodthirsty Gods from under the Yangtze River and then slowly move north, only then would the Emperor be able to lay the foundation to defeat their clutches.

‘If you’ve done this much, the rest will take care of itself. Joo Han-seon, this woman is smart too, so she’ll know what to do.’

Even though we talked about the cause above all else, if we just run blindly when they call us, we will be treated as nothing more or less than a hunting dog that is easy to use.

Yun Hui wanted an equal relationship with the Emperor, and had no intention of being treated as inferior.

“Then I’ll contact you later.”

Yun-Hwi left those words behind and suddenly disappeared along with Pungsin Jamhaeng.

Joo Han-seon quietly watched the back of his head and then called the other adjutants who were waiting outside.

“Clean up the barracks! Get back to the commanding officer before it gets too late!”
