Chapter 21 I know but

“what…?”

Upon hearing the news, the current head of the Ak family, one of the sixteen imperial families, jumped up from his seat.

“The Emperor went out of the palace? And with that bastard Yeon So-hyeon…?!”

“What is that…?”

The reaction of the head of the Bokyang family was not much different either.

“Yeonsohyun, the time that he and we arrived at the zodiac shouldn’t be that different… .”

Their reaction was perfectly reasonable.

They arrived at a similar time and were about to meet with the Eunuch of Rites, Gongsun Taerang, and begin to develop their plan.

I don’t know what kind of harmony Yeon-seon-hyeon has created, but isn’t she already causing chaos in the palace and even going out with the emperor without permission?

“Hehehe… .”

but.

In this place, there was someone who was quite familiar with Yeon So-hyeon’s behavior.

“It would be better for everyone to get used to it quickly.”

Already, Yeon So-hyeon’s several moves were beaten to a pulp by the previous strategies.

It was Gongson Taerang, the eunuch of the case, who surrendered without the knowledge of the other sixteen heads of the clans.

“What does that mean?”

When the eunuchs looked back at him, Eunuch Gongson Taerang took a sip of tea and answered leisurely.

“Now, as you know, Yeon So-hyeon, that guy… while we think once and take one step… .”

He raised his finger and pointed ahead of me.

“He’s already ten steps ahead and mocking us.”

“gibberish…!”

The head of the evil family shouted with a blush on his face.

“No matter how much he flies and crawls, this is not Luoyang, my home!”

Born to a military family and a general.

As expected of a master who had overcome walls, his booming voice resonated strongly throughout the spacious room.

“And this isn’t the north where he was just a little while ago!”

Rumble…!

The elegant and ornate furniture shook as if there was an earthquake.

“This is the Zodiac, the Zodiac! The Zodiac, our living room! But-!”

“Calm down. You evil lord.”

at that time.

The head of the Bokyang family raised his hand.

“Now is not the time to be emotional. It is the time to take action and make the necessary response immediately.”

“… Huh!”

It seemed like nothing special.

If it were a person of power who was a common armed force, it would be like adding fuel to the fire and making them even more angry.

“…Shit!”

dump.

But, surprisingly.

Even though the evil singer’s face was flushed with anger, he suppressed his excitement and roughly sat back down in his chair.

“Okay, let’s talk about how to stop that Yeon So-hyeon guy!”

If it doesn’t get to this level.

Even if he were the current head of one of the sixteen families, he would not have been able to sit in this position.

no.

If the level was lacking in the first place.

He would not have been able to overthrow his father, the previous head of the Ak family, and take his place.

“Okay.”

The current head of the Bokyang family nodded calmly.

“First of all, it’s important to know where that bastard Yeon So-hyeon and the emperor are headed right now.”

The emperor’s destination is, of course, a secret among secrets.

Even if they are the heads of the sixteen families.

It was information that was not easily obtainable.

“… Eunuch of the case.”

As the two heads of state turned their gazes toward him, Eunuch Gongsun Taerang shrugged his shoulders.

“This body is already a kite with a broken string. When will I have time to mock him to my heart’s content? What influence will I have left to know the Emperor’s destination?”

Then, he pours tea into an empty cup and slurps it down.

“So, you don’t know?”

The eunuch answered immediately.

“Of course, I know.”

He spoke the emperor’s destination as if he had been waiting for it.

“The Emperor is now heading to the Min family.”

“Min clan, family…?”

“The Min family, why did the emperor…?”

Confusion came over the two heads’ faces.

“Of course. I thought you would try to attract loyalists or visit key figures…?”

Visiting the Min family.

It means going to the Min family, who contributed greatly to making the Emperor a puppet by making Lady Min the empress.

It was like the emperor stepping into a tiger’s mouth with his own feet.

“Something….”

The head of the Bokyang family stood up from his seat as he felt a sense of unease creeping in.

“… Something feels strange.”

He immediately.

He ordered the unmanned personnel of Bokyangga waiting outside to contact the Min family.

But soon.

“…I’m sorry, my lord.”

I saw the unmanned vehicle kneeling and apologizing.

“For some reason, the person in charge of constant communication with the Min family was refused a visit.”

“what…?”

Soon, the person sent by the Evil Family arrived.

“I have no face…!”

His report wasn’t much different.

“It is said that the Min family has temporarily closed and locked all internal and external communication channels…!”

“Does that make sense?!”

The head of the Ak family jumped up.

“Weren’t the Min clan allies with us?! Then why are they acting on their own?!”

“That’s…!”

The situation.

It was going very strangely.

“…for a moment!”

As if something came to mind.

The voice of the head of the household suddenly rang out, bringing silence to the room.

“no way…!”

The head of the evil family asked, pounding his chest as if he was frustrated.

“What on earth are you talking about? Let’s find out together…!”

“Speak up, Bokyang Gaju.”

Eunuch Gongson Taerang also couldn’t hide his curiosity and asked him.

Of course, his true feelings were different.

‘You guys, Yeon So-hyeon, how long can you keep up with that monster?’

“Since the past… .”

Under the curious gaze of the eunuch Gongson Taerang, the current head of the Bokyang family opened his mouth.

“You will remember that during the rapid expansion of the Min clan, there were predictions that there would be smuggling trade with Haedongguk.”

“Hmm….”

The head of the Ak family frowned, stroking his rough beard.

“But, after all these years, no evidence was found?”

“no…!”

The head of the Bokyang family shook his head.

“It’s not the evidence that counts, it’s the assumptions. What if!”

‘Huh?’

It was quite a lot, but the head of the Bokyang family established a family with the true intentions of Gongson Taerang.

“What if that were true?”

“… … .”

In the silence of Gongson Taerang, the head of the Ak family opened his mouth.

“… That bastard Yeon So-hyeon, he’s doing something like a joke of pretending to be an ally of Haedong-guk-.”

“That’s it!”

The head of the Bokyang family clapped his hands.

“If the high tariff with Haedong-guk is abolished, smuggling will suffer a huge blow!”

The head of the Ak family nodded and continued speaking.

“Then, there will be a reason for Min to meet the Emperor, no, Yeon So-hyeon…!”

‘Wow….’

Stay still.

Eunuch Gongson Taerang, who was watching the conversation between the two, stuck out his tongue inwardly.

‘Sure, you’re incredibly clever.’

Gongsun Taerang himself is the same, but none of the current heads of the sixteen families are the same.

I dare say once again that there is no one whom we can take lightly.

It was a moment of feeling.

“It’s not too late, is it?”

“Eunuch Case…!”

“Right now! We’re going to the Min clan! Whether they let us in or not!”

“… Okay, then.”

Eunuch Gongson Taerang obediently saw them off.

“If it weren’t for this damned idiot, I would be there too. What a shame.”

Watching them leave in a hurry, Gongsun Taerang looked truly sorry.

“Ugh… .”

‘If I had gone with you, I would have been able to see you guys get screwed by that bastard Yeon So-hyeon.’

Indeed, it was a pity.

* * *

“How did you see it?”

Walking quickly, the head of the Bokyang family asked the head of the Ak family.

“Hmm, definitely….”

The head of the Ak family answered calmly and coolly, to the point where it felt like a lie that he had been angry just a moment ago.

“Gongsun Taerang, there was nothing particularly strange about that guy’s behavior, but throughout our conversation, I definitely had a suspicious feeling.”

“It was the same for me too.”

That’s right.

There were several reasons why they visited Gongsun Taerang’s mansion.

Among the many reasons, the most decisive one was the suspicion of Gongsun Taerang’s betrayal.

“… Yeon So-hyeon. That guy didn’t cut the leash of the opponent he had cornered-”

“It’s definitely strange. Of course, Gongsun Taerang is not the type of person who would let his opponents cut off his lifeline so easily….”

As they exited the entrance, they got straight into the waiting carriage and said:

“Anyway. From now on, you must never share any key information with Gongsun Taerang or the author.”

“Let’s do that. There’s no harm in being careful.”

“We also need to double our surveillance resources.”

Just as Gongson Taerang thought.

It was certain that none of the heads of the sixteen families were easy to see.

“Let’s go, my lords.”

Multifaceted, multifaceted.

Having reached a preliminary conclusion about Gongsun Taerang, they moved on to the next thing.

“Any contact with the Min family?”

Wasn’t that the question I asked earlier?

but.

No one in the carriage expressed any surprise at the question.

And on top of that, even-.

“We are still communicating.”

“We have already received permission from the Min family to visit at any time.”

Isn’t this a completely different report from the previous one – that there is no contact with the Min family at all?

“good.”

As the head of the Bokyang family smiled, the head of the Ak family also made a meaningful expression.

“If Gongson Taerang is in collusion with that bastard Yeonseonhyeon, then spreading false information like this will be effective.”

“yes.”

Even if Gongsun Taerang is colluding.

The relationship between the eunuch Gongson Taerang and Yeon Sohyeon is probably still far from trustworthy.

In this situation, if false information is leaked through Gongson Taerang.

Friction will arise, and the relationship between Yeon So-hyeon and Gong Son-tae will easily fall apart.

“Now, we just need to stall for time so that Gongsun Tae and that guy can give Yeonseonhyeon false information-.”

“All you have to do is show up at the Min family meeting and turn the tables.”

they.

From the beginning, he had ordered his subordinates to relay any urgent news in front of the eunuch Gongson Taerang.

“That went well.”

The head of the Ak family smiled sinisterly.

“If the Emperor’s first outing ends up like this without any results, the Emperor’s position will be further diminished. He may come to his senses.”

“As soon as we arrive at the palace, that bastard Yeon So-hyeon, who committed such an outrageous act, will also suffer the same fate.”

“Then, wouldn’t we be able to catch that bastard Yeonso-hyeon in Luoyang and have a closer chance of replacing the emperor in the palace?”

The two heads laughed.

however.

When they arrived at the main gate of the Min family.

“what…?!”

A situation they could never have imagined awaited them.

“What are you talking about?!”

“What nonsense are you talking about, we can’t get in?!”

“sorry.”

The road was blocked by private soldiers guarding the main gate of the Min family like an iron wall.

“I have received orders from the lord himself to not let anyone in.”

The head of the Min family broke his promise and even blocked the visit of the current heads of the sixteen families.

‘What is this…?!’

“… … .”

The head of the Bokyang family looked out the carriage window with a frown, but he could not see anything because of the huge number of soldiers and the high wall.

“There must be something wrong…!”

The head of the Ak family showed his face outside the carriage and shouted.

“Do you know who I am!? Bring the person in charge right now…!”

but.

“I already know who you two are.”

The private commander, who had already confirmed the pattern before the carriage even stopped, shook his head.

“The Lord has made it absolutely clear that neither of you are allowed to enter.”

During that short time.

It was clear that the internal situation had changed.

“That’s nonsense…!”

Behind the evil head of the household, who was venting his anger outward like fire, the head of the Bokyang household was helpless and gnashing his teeth.

“…Fuck!”

“Now, as you know….”

The words of the eunuch Gongson Taerang came to his mind.

“Yeon So-hyeon, while we are thinking and taking one step, that guy is already ten steps ahead and mocking us.”

I knew it.

I knew it clearly.

“… Find out what’s going on inside by any means necessary.”

[Yes, my lord.]

The head of the Bokyang family held his forehead as a headache began to arise.

‘Even though I knew, how can I still suffer like this every time…!’
