Episode 745
Blood-stained throne (6)
“It’s you.”
One of the two heads of the General Military Department. Munseok, known as the Grand General of the Palace, looked very much like the Empress.
Although he was past his age, he had a very noble appearance. He was handsome like a man, but if you look at him differently, his delicacy stood out.
The Empress’s brother seemed too aristocratic to be considered one of the highest heads of the imperial military at the time.
Yan Wei and Peng Wujiang Zhuge Yan bowed his head.
“See you, General.”
Put aside personal courtesy. That greeting was all.
Moonseok nodded.
“You must have heard everything the governor said. “Change into the clothes of the Heavenly Seal right now and follow me.”
The three immediately changed into military uniforms and put on armor and helmets.
Zhuge Yan could have been a problem, but since he was tall and wore thick armor and a helmet, it was quite acceptable.
In the first place, the generals under the Great General of the Palace did not run wild at the front lines, so there were few people in trouble. Considering their characteristics, the three people’s disguises were even more plausible.
“Hurry up.”
It wasn’t far from the general’s office to the emperor’s palace.
Moon Seok, the three men, and about fifty soldiers moved quite quickly. Although he didn’t run, he walked quickly. I could see how anxious Moonseok was.
Peng Mu-gang, who was walking at a pace and looking around, sent a message to Yeon-wi.
[That’s strange.]
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
He was feeling the same as Peng Wugang. No, it was even clearer than that.
This was because Yeon Wei’s level of internal strength was superior to that of Peng Mu-gang. It was no exaggeration to say that the inner strength and senses he had honed day after day were already at the peak of his six generations.
[It’s as if an invisible ghost is following me from behind.]
[That’s right. Of course, it’s not like a ghost.]
[What are you going to do? I think we should stop. I don’t know who is looking at this strange gaze, but it is very ominous.]
Yeonwi nodded and opened her mouth, but then quickly closed it.
Peng Wugang looked at him with puzzled eyes.
[Why are you doing that?]
There was no answer from Yeonwi. I just glanced around with sharper eyes.
Peng Wugang’s eyes deepened.
‘There is something.’
He neatly admitted. Yeonwi’s martial arts skills are one level higher than his own.
It was clear that he had caught something that he could not feel even now.
Peng Wugang felt nervous.
‘No matter what, that’s true.’
The Hebei Paeng family was a famous martial arts family with a long history. If we only look at history, it was much deeper than the love story.
If you are the master of a famous family that is even called the master of the sword, you are a name and a force that will be known anywhere in the world. There is something that even I cannot feel…
‘What on earth is going on in the imperial palace?’
How many bizarre masters did Taegam Wooheon, or rather, the head of the Shinhwa religion, place here?
Peng Wu-gang sent a message to Zhuge Yan to be careful and then placed his left hand on the sword.
How much time has passed like that?
chuck!
Munseok, who was in the lead, stopped walking.
“That’s strange.”
Wrinkles formed around Munseok’s eyes.
“Why are there so few people?”
I had to go through several palace gates to get to the royal palace. And the group has already crossed three palace gates.
However, as we went inside, the number of warriors guarding the palace became noticeably smaller.
Although he never fought on the battlefield, Munseok was also excellent at martial arts. Furthermore, he was also a person who had become involved in the bloody politics of the palace.
Munseok shouted to the warrior guarding the palace gate in the distance.
“This is the Grand General of the Palace himself, a member of the Grand General’s Department. The third palace gate guard, please come here.”
I am the great general of the palace who is said to be able to drop birds and the empress’ brother. It was normal for even a high-ranking official to come running in a hurry, not just the flood gate committee.
But the floodgate committee made no move. He just stood there in that same posture, staring straight ahead with his helmet pressed down and holding a spear.
Moonseok’s eyes deepened.
“Can’t you hear me? I am Munseok, the Grand General of the Grand Palace! “Come here right now!”
At that time, Yeonwi sent a warning message to Munseok.
[General. I am the head of the Yeonga family.]
Munseok flinched.
But he didn’t look at Yeonwi. Because I instinctively thought it shouldn’t be like that.
[The Geumgun (禁軍) and the guards who were standing guard near the sixth palace gate to the Jesa palace gate have disappeared.]
Crumbling.
A bloody sound rang out from Munseok’s fist.
The gold soldiers who had been guarding the palace gate through which he had passed were absent. What does it mean in this situation?
‘Wooheon!!’
Moonseok quietly opened his mouth.
“Then what about those guys?”
There is no need to use full sound. There was nothing he couldn’t do if he did it, but he was a general.
The Yeonwi also judged that further evangelization was unnecessary.
“He died.”
“…He died?!”
Peng Mu-gang, who was standing silently, lightly kicked the earth wind.
Ting!
An intangible earth wind passed by the helmet above the water gate.
dump!
The water gate, which had been standing motionless, collapsed on the spot.
Moonseok’s eyes wavered.
Zhuge Yan said.
“This is it.”
Yan Wei and Peng Wugang looked at Zhuge Zhen.
Tension appeared on Zhuge Yan’s face.
“Between the Third Palace Gate and the Fourth Palace Gate. “The palace walls rise naturally and the terrain gradually becomes narrower.”
“…!”
“The terrain is easy for raids.”
Because the area was so wide, even Yeonwi and Pengmugang, who passed directly through the palace gate, did not realize that the terrain was narrowing.
However, Zhuge Zhen’s sense of space, honed while studying Jinbeop, was able to perceive it accurately.
The problem is that I realized it too late.
“It would be nice if we could break through, but….”
“No.”
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
“Military spirit is approaching.”
hook!
Without a sound, a force much more secret than expected was approaching from beyond the third palace gate.
That wasn’t all. Military discipline was gradually rising behind the palace gate that we passed.
“This?!”
Moonseok was embarrassed.
Peng Wugang spoke quickly.
“All soldiers, surround the general!”
The soldiers were embarrassed and could not move easily.
Munseok looked at Pengmu Gang.
When Peng Mu-gang nodded, Mun-seok opened his mouth.
“You protect me.”
Let’s go!
Fifty soldiers surrounded Munseok, Yan Wei and Zhuge Yan took their positions at the third palace gate, and Peng Wu Gang took his position at the rear sacrificial palace gate.
Moonseok asked in a darker voice.
“Is it a forbidden army?”
Zhuge Yan said.
“I don’t know if it’s gold. However, if the military discipline is this orderly and the soldiers are capable of moving secretly…”
“They are golden soldiers.”
Moonseok closed his eyes.
“Is it too late?”
In this type of terrain and at this time, the gold army began to surround the area from front and back.
It was clear who was moving them. If the empress had been there, she would have taken measures to make it come sooner rather than mobilizing the Golden Army to stop it.
This is Wooheon Taegam.
The Taegam blocked the royal palace general Munseok from going to the royal palace.
‘No, it can’t end with blocking.’
Tension welled up in Zhuge Zhen’s gun-filled eyes.
‘The great general is heading to the royal palace with a small number of troops. It moved even though there was no call from His Majesty the Emperor. This in itself could be treason.’
The reason why it was judged that it could be a treason, rather than a definite treason, was because the power of the imperial family had weakened accordingly.
However, even though the power of the imperial family has weakened, the laws remain the same. In fact, Munseok’s actions themselves were an act of creating an excuse for the enemy, so this current situation can be said to be a predicted misfortune.
‘I knew.’
This much was expected. Although I wondered if that might be the case, I thought there was some possibility.
Nevertheless, the reason the party did not stop Munseok was because they did not think they would listen to them.
And one more reason.
“Matriarch.”
“okay.”
“I think we’ll have to proceed with things a little more roughly.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“I think so too.”
After a while, Paeng Mu-gang, standing far away, spoke in his characteristic booming voice.
“Don’t worry about this, just do your job. “I will block it for a few days.”
A look of confusion appeared on Munseok’s face.
What does this mean?
Yeonwi said.
“General.”
“You tell me.”
“Please hand over one of the sacred tablets that the great general has. “I can prove the general.”
Although his intention was unknown, Munseok did as Yeonwi said. It was a situation where if there was any way, it had to be used.
Yeonwi received a jade tablet from Munseok. Although it was not an official badge to prove that he was a general, it was something that Munseok treasured to the extent that everyone in the know knew about it.
Yeonwi, who had the jade tablet in his arms, took off his helmet.
“…?!”
Munseok, who was looking at Yeonwi, felt an indescribable horror for a moment.
Yeonwi’s face revealed under the cold moonlight. His unique, blunt expression revealed his strong personality and steel-hard subjectivity.
But what was most impressive was the eyes.
It seemed as if thousands of swords were coming out of the two bright blue eyes.
It is so magnificent that it exudes a sense of intimidation that goes beyond majesty. It was Munseok who realized the true meaning of subduing people with just his eyes while watching Yeonwi.
Yeon Wei said to Zhuge Yan.
“Protect this place with Lord Panga.”
“Matriarch.”
“…?”
“be careful.”
“Don’t worry.”
Slurp.
In an instant, an incredible force emanated from Yeonwi’s body as he pulled the sword from his waist.
“From now on, I am the head of the Yeon family, not the Yeon Wi.”
Ugh!
Yeonwi, who hit the ground, quickly reached the front of the third palace gate.
Moonseok shouted without realizing it.
“What are you doing!”
“It’s just as Yeongaju said.”
Zhuge Zhenyan pulled out two daggers from his belt with a heavy face.
“From now on, it is time for the martial arts people, General.”
* * *
‘…?’
Wooheon’s eyes flashed as he knelt down.
‘You moved at the right time.’
His particularly red lips drew an arc.
Of course it was he who moved Geumgun.
The imperial gold army was not simply a group of outstanding military officers.
There have been quite a few martial artists who have crossed the imperial walls with amazing martial arts skills. Of course, they were all caught and executed, but the important thing was to prevent those guys from entering in the first place.
Currently, all of the Jin army’s soldiers were familiar with the imperial martial arts, and all of them were skilled at maneuvering secretly, group warfare, and fighting with a small number of troops.
‘Of course, it’s extremely clumsy.’
In his eyes, who had learned the martial arts of the Xinhua religion, the martial arts that Geumgun learned were of a very low standard.
However, the number and fighting style of the gold army are something that no one can ignore. Unless there is someone who performed the dance, it will be difficult for just a few masters to handle the work of the gold army.
“so.”
A languid voice flowing from the dragon statue.
A majesty that never disappears, but the annoyance and haziness were much more impressive than the majesty.
“Why did you let Jim sit here at this hour? And…”
Wooheon smiled and raised his head.
Across from him was the empress, who was so beautiful that she didn’t look like a person of royal family, but she was frozen solid.
“How did the Empress come here?”
Before the Empress opened her mouth.
Wooheon bowed his head again and said.
“I’m sorry, but I wanted to tell you about the traitorous cabal.”
