Episode 576

Psalm 25: Faith

“hmm.”

Sakongja Yeonbi took a deep breath and wrote the letter in one breath.

One stroke of a stroke.

Princess Yeon Yu-hwa was impressed by the handwriting, but on the other hand, she tilted her head.

Because it was just a list of words that were completely incomprehensible.

“… Cipher text?”

“Yes.”

The Duke of Sakong stamped his seal on the ground, put the letter in an ominous blue envelope, and sealed it.

“This is a newly developed highly toxic paper from Sichuan Tangjia.”

This time, even though she didn’t ask, Sakongja Yeonbi explained.

“This special paper is coated with a deadly poison, and if you try to open the letter without knowing what the poison is, you will die.”

“… … !”

What the heck, there’s such a bloody security device.

As the truly extravagant letter passed before her eyes, the princess swallowed hard.

“Tell this to your older brother.”

“Yes, my lord…!”

A man wearing special gloves with a green glow politely accepted the letter and went outside.

“With this… .”

Sagongja Yeonbi looked back at Yeon Yuhwa and said.

“No matter how long it takes, this letter will reach you, my brother, within a day.”

“…Is that the encrypted message you just wrote in that letter?”

“yes.”

Sakongja Yeonbi nodded.

“This is a letter conveying my older sister’s wishes regarding the Hwangbo family to my older brother.”

“I see….”

Yeon Yu-hwa looked at the door through which the servant of the Duke of Sagong, Yeon Bi, had left while carrying the letter.

‘If So-Hyeon receives that letter in the Imperial Capital-.’

From then on, what will happen?

For no reason, my heart started pounding.

Could it be tension?

I didn’t know that might be the case.

“… … .”

But there was a smile on Yeon Yu-hwa’s lips.

It was a pleasant tension.

It feels like I’m back on the ‘scene’ after a long time.

“hmm.”

In the meantime, the Chief Administrative Officer’s Office was seen checking several documents and handing over the pile of documents to his subordinates after completing the approval process.

“Is it okay to just look at it like that?”

Yeon Yu-hwa asked in confusion.

“… … ?”

He looked at her as if to say, “What are you talking about?”

“I have thoroughly reviewed everything, but…?”

“Yeah, yeah… .”

also.

Since ancient times, Yeonbi and Yeonseonhyeon’s actions should not be tried to be understood.

That’s how it is, so we have to accept it.

“Okay, big sister.”

“uh?”

Said Yeonbi, who had shaken out her clothes and tidied up her attire.

“Please spend the rest of the day with me and get used to the ‘feel’.”

“Okay, let’s do that.”

There was no reason to worry about the oil spill.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been back on set, so I need to get my groove back.”

“What are you talking about?”

“huh…?”

This time, Sakongja Yeonbi spoke to Yeon Yuhwa as if asking what she was talking about.

“What you need to learn, older sister, are not such ‘little things.’”

“then?”

Sagongja Yeonbi said this as she left the office after getting ready with the help of her maids.

“You need to get a feel for how your older brother and I handle things so that you can work together in the future and not be overwhelmed by the pace.”

The speed of the Grand Duke Yeon So-hyeon and the Sagongja Yeon Bi.

Dealing with their affairs.

“… … .”

Gulp, Yeon Yu-hwa swallowed dry saliva as the tension rose to its peak.

“Don’t worry, sister.”

“…okay!”

Yeon Yu-hwa found strength in her younger brother’s encouragement and smiled brightly.

“What could I not do?! I’m Yeon Yu-hwa! I’ll show you guys how cool it is!”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“to…?”

I guess so.

It didn’t seem to be a cheer.

Yeonbi greeted the passing subordinates with her eyes and spoke to Yeon Yuhwa.

“In the first place, it’s not up to us to set the pace; it’s up to our big brother to set the pace for us. My sister and I just have to do the best we can.”

“Ah… I see.”

Yeon Yu-hwa nodded in agreement with a bewildered expression, and Sakongja Yeon-bi raised her finger.

“Well then, at this point, I’ll give you the first and most important piece of advice.”

“What is it, what is it?”

The fuel efficiency was immediate.

“Unconditionally. Unconditionally trust your big brother.”

“…huh?”

Not caring about her reaction, Yeonbi looked up at the ceiling in a holy pose and raised her two hands.

“You must trust in your big brother at any time, in any situation, no matter how desperate it may seem. Even when your life is in danger, even when all your plans are falling apart, even when the enemy overwhelms you in every way, trust him. You must trust in our Lord, our big brother.”

“… … .”

Is this some kind of prayer?

Yeon Yu-hwa broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of Yeon-bi, who had no fanaticism whatsoever.

Even in her childhood, her fuel efficiency was strangely similar to Yeon Soo-hyun’s, but her current appearance was beyond the realm of common sense.

‘… Is this okay?’

“… Hmm, it’s a shame that there are unbelievers who don’t realize it.”

Despite such a reaction from Yeon-yu-hwa, Yeon-bi nodded as if she had expected it.

“Well then, you’ve learned the most important lesson. Shall we go and experience and confirm what we’ve learned?”

“uh…?”

It was the beginning of a class on attributes.

* * *

Squeak-!

The armored carriage carrying the siblings Yeonbi and Yeonyuhwa stopped.

“Hmm. You’ve arrived.”

“Hey, wait a minute… ?!”

Yeon Yu-hwa, who checked outside, panicked and grabbed Yeon-bi’s sleeve to stop her.

“This is where the Sixteen Imperial Clans have made their home…?!”

That’s right.

The place where the carriage stopped was the Luoyang base of the Sixteen Imperial Clans.

“Oh, you know…?”

When Yeonbi was impressed, Yeon Yuhwa shrugged her shoulders with a slightly happy expression.

“I know this much. I also get to know all the information that comes into that guy Hwangbo Du-sung.”

“Is that so?”

“oh?!”

Rattling.

While Yeon Yuhwa was speaking, Sagongja Yeonbi opened the door of the armored carriage and got out.

And the reaction was immediate.

Chachachang!

In the darkness that had fallen over the city, soldiers who appeared to be the best of the best stood with their spears raised to block the gate.

“This is private property. You are not allowed to enter.”

“… … .”

Sakongja Yeonbi ignored him with an indifferent expression and waited quietly, carrying her luggage on her back.

‘What, what are you doing…?’

First, Yeon Yu-hwa swallowed dry saliva while standing behind her younger brother.

This morning.

Even when the Duke of Sagong, Yeonbi, visited the Luoyang branch of the Hwangbo family, his retinue numbered several carriages.

But now, isn’t it almost the minimum number of people?

But, at that time.

“Ah, Your Majesty…!”

The door opened and a middle-aged man dressed in silk came running out.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting…!”

‘The author is…?!’

Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes widened slightly.

His face was unfamiliar, but the clothes he was wearing were clearly the silk clothes worn by the elders of the Luoyang Sword Family.

That meant he was one of the elders of the Luoyang Sword Family, who gathered in the shadow of the Sixteen Clans of the Yellow Emperor.

“Come on, come on in…!”

“egg plant.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yeon Yu-hwa’s eyes widened as she saw Sagongja Yeon-bi striding inside.

‘This is how you get in?! This is…?!’

At least.

Hwangbo Se-ga had a framework for a marriage alliance thanks to Yeon Yu-hwa herself.

But isn’t this place practically the same as the enemy?

‘ah…!’

at that time.

Something crossed his mind.

“Unconditionally. Unconditionally trust your big brother.”

[Viaya.]

Yeon Yu-hwa, who had caught up with the Sakongja’s fuel efficiency as naturally as possible, asked in a close-range tone.

[Is it also So-Hyeon’s arrangement that the elder was waiting and brought us in like this?]

Even though you ask like that.

Yeon Yu-hwa was half-believing and half-doubting inwardly.

No matter how excellent his abilities are.

Yeonseonhyeon is in the zodiac, and this is Luoyang.

Is that possible?

If possible-.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

The servant girl spoke to her in a fleshy voice.

“We should just figure this out on our own at our level.”

“Ah… , okay… .”

My head started to hurt.

The place where Yeon Yu-hwa’s footsteps, which she had been following with her forehead pressed against hers, stopped was where a heavy door stood.

“This is it.”

He approached the guards and whispered something.

Then, they opened the door for me.

I don’t know how he did it, but it was indeed a skill worthy of a Luoyang Sword Master.

“Your Majesty.”

He whispered to the messenger.

“This is the place. And… .”

At the words of the elder who had been sweating profusely as if he had been quite nervous since a while ago, Sakongja Yeonbi nodded.

“Okay. Go now.”

“That, that….”

The elder wandered around without going to see what he wanted.

At that sight, Sagongja Yeonbi spoke with an expression that showed great affection.

“Okay. I’ll make sure to tell my big brother.”

“Go, thank you…!”

Hudda…!

In an instant, he disappeared down the hallway, unlike his cowering attitude in front of me.

It was considerable martial arts skill.

[… How can you manipulate the elders of our family so easily as you wish?]

At the sound of the fireworks, the Duke of Sakong nodded.

[The key is to use your older brother’s name as well as possible.]

[ah….]

Something.

As if she had gotten the hang of it, Yeon Yu-hwa nodded, but soon tilted her head.

[But…. What if there’s a problem if I use Sohyun’s name so carelessly?]

She was concerned.

[Is work getting out of hand or becoming too difficult to handle?]

“yes?”

He spoke as if he had no idea about fuel efficiency.

“Why does this happen when my older brother is here?”

“… … ?”

While Yeon Yuhwa was at a loss for words, the sage strode into the dark room.

“Go, let’s go together…!”

The servant girl strode briskly towards the innermost room, as if it were her own bedroom.

“Hello, how are you?”

And straight to his greeting.

There was a violent reaction.

“The Four Great Masters… ?!”

“You’re a private?!”

“Da, how did you get here…?!”

Sakongja Yeonbi looked around at each of the elders, carrying his luggage on his back, and spoke calmly.

“Is there anywhere in this land of Luoyang that this Lady Yeon-bi would not dare to come?”

“what-?!”

“Everyone calm down.”

It was an older elder wearing glasses who stood up and calmed the other elders.

“Elder Saint.”

“The Four Great Masters.”

The man called Elder Seong(?) spoke in a low voice.

“… Even though this is the middle of Luoyang, you are being very reckless, Your Majesty.”

“What is reckless?”

Sakongja Yeonbi pulled out a chair and sat down in a relaxed posture.

“Right now, the heads of the sixteen families are in a very cornered position. If this ‘opportunity’ comes their way, they may even choose ‘extreme methods.’”

“… … .”

The words, “extreme method, opportunity that came walking into my life,” sent shivers down Yeon Yu-hwa’s spine.

Perhaps because the presence of the Sakongja Yeonbi was so great, no one had yet noticed her standing quietly behind him like an attendant.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Just feeling the eerie atmosphere that the elders of the sword family were giving off was enough to make me feel suffocated.

“Hmm, is that really so?”

But, actually.

The elder, Sakongja Yeonbi, had such a calm and composed atmosphere that she even snatched the tea from another elder’s cup and drank it.

“…What are you talking about?”

In response to the bespectacled elder’s quiet question, Sakongja Yeonbi smiled and answered.

“The heads of the sixteen families must be so out of it right now that they don’t even notice me sitting here?”

“What are you talking about that I don’t understand?”

‘Yeah, what does that mean?’

Although he didn’t show it, Yeon Yu-hwa looked at Yeon-bi with the same feelings as Elder Seong.

“Hmm? You haven’t heard yet? You’re all out of touch, huh?”

The servant said as if he was doing a favor.

“Last night, in the imperial capital, the heads of the Bokyang family and the Ak family, two of the sixteen families, were murdered by the Dark Heavenly Lord.”

“I know that.”

Elder Seong cut off the words of Sagongja Yeonbi, who was already telling news that everyone in Luoyang knew.

“Is that so? Then….”

Yeonbi continued speaking, smiling openly.

“Do you know that the previous heads of the families of Bokyangga and Akga, also known as Noma (Old Demons), have returned to the Imperial City?”

“… … !”

“…What?!”

Not only the elders, but everyone else present at the place began to stir at the news.

Following Gongsun Luojiang, who pushed out Gongsun Tairang, the Eunuch of Rites, a total of three Nomas have now taken up residence in the imperial capital.

The saintly elder touched his forehead.

“… So, is that why the heads of the sixteen families suddenly disappeared?”

The four princes laughed as if they were making fun of them.

“Probably, by now. Half of the families will be packing their bags to return to the capital immediately after hearing the news.”

“this…!”

and.

What was surprising was that Yeon Yu-hwa was just like the elders.

‘They returned to the zodiac…?!’

Her surprise quickly turned to questioning.

‘But, how…?’

She looked at the servant girl.

‘Via knew that in advance and was moving-, huh?!’

She arrived at the answer intuitively while asking herself the question.

‘Sohyun is sharing the next move with Via in advance…!’

but.

At the same time, a stronger doubt began to creep into her.

‘But, for that to happen?! So-Hyeon’s plan has to go according to plan without a single mistake?!’

Just then, sneakily.

“… … .”

In the midst of the commotion, Yeonbi looked back at her and spoke with a smile on her face.

‘Trust me.’
