Episode 746
Blood-stained throne (7)
At that moment, the atmosphere in the royal palace became cold.
The face of the empress sitting across from her turned pale, and the faces of the military officers guarding the royal palace also looked astonished.
“…Hmm.”
An even heavier groan came out from the dragon.
“Did you say it was a traitorous cabal?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Empress opened her mouth.
“Your Majesty, are you suddenly calling us a traitorous cabal? It’s not right…”
“I’m sorry, but.”
Woo Heon interrupted the Empress.
“There are many people in the world, and their situations and thoughts are as different as the number of people. “Your Majesty’s sacred reign spans the world, but there are groups of people everywhere who seek to exploit the Emperor.”
It was a bold statement. At least it wasn’t something to say easily in front of the emperor.
The Empress’s eyes became cruel.
“Please refrain from speaking. “This is His Majesty’s presence.”
Wooheon bowed his head.
“Because the situation was not good, Sosin’s words were too harsh. Please forgive me.”
“this…!”
At that time, another voice was heard from the dragon statue.
“The governor only stated the truth. “Lift your head up.”
The Empress’s face turned red.
‘You idiot!’
A person who is the master of a country and also her own husband.
But she had no regard for the emperor. No, there was definitely affection at first, but now the feeling has cooled to the point where even the memory of it is vague.
The Empress opened her mouth hysterically.
“Did you say there was a traitorous cabal?”
“That’s right.”
“If there really is a traitorous cabal, does that mean they started an uprising without any preparation?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t even know how much preparation was done. “I just know that such people exist.”
“Isn’t the Crown Prince a loyal subject of His Majesty the Emperor, encompassing even the military and administration? “Keep in mind that there are serious sins that you do not recognize in advance.”
As was the case in the past, even in the Tangjin imperial palace, the prestige of the Grand Master is higher than that of any other high-ranking official. However, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot even touch the military and administration.
The Empress spoke openly to the Emperor. It is said that the Taegam is touching areas that should not be touched.
The word loyalist itself is full of sarcasm.
Wooheon bowed his head.
“How can a person turn his or her eyes away from that sin? “It is a clear grave sin that a person who is supposed to serve His Majesty the Emperor with all his heart was unable to read a single move of a treacherous cabal.”
Wooheon smiled. It was a fishy smile that only the Empress, who was invisible in the dragon statue, could see.
“However, they are so dangerous that even from the window where they receive the grace of His Majesty, they are not even noticed. “We must use this opportunity to make every effort to protect His Majesty’s dignity and the dignity of the imperial family.”
I will pay for my sins after this is over.
The Empress’s eyes trembled at that confident statement.
‘Strange.’
The Empress knew well that Woo Heon was a man who was sly and obnoxious, but was better than anyone else when it came to turning his head.
There was no way he would set up a meeting for no reason and expose a traitor.
The crime of treason and conspiracy is a major incident that turns the entire country upside down, not just the imperial palace.
Of course, the impact is as great as the weight of sin. If you report treason and it turns out to be false, you will face backlash.
No matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to handle it. No, it’s impossible.
‘What on earth?’
The Empress felt an unknown sense of anxiety.
‘How can you be so sure? I couldn’t believe it…’
At that moment, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
‘Are you trying to hit here?’
That can’t be possible.
The political dispute between himself and the Taegam is as dirty as the power struggles of previous imperial families. However, because of the power and goals each person has, there is definitely a line that must never be crossed.
One of them was treason. It was a weapon that should never be touched even in a political struggle that did not discriminate between means and methods.
‘Probably not. Taegam is not stupid. Of course, at this point in time….’
At that moment, the Empress’s eyes wavered.
The three masters sent by the Murim League came to mind.
‘It’s a hasty guess, but I believe each of them’s power is great enough to threaten the mighty warriors of the time, Wulin.’
The Empress also knew that the Crown Prince was a member of a cult.
But I never thought about it seriously. Not only was it not enough to support a cult, but even holding a rite to a god in the imperial palace was an extremely blasphemous sin, but I did not know and did not want to know how much power they actually had.
A cult is literally just a cult.
They are people who devastate the people’s spirit and eat away at the country, but in the end, that’s all. I thought that if I won this battle of power, I would just mobilize the gold army and attack them once and for all.
However, the martial arts people said that they were extremely dangerous people.
A force that has no major shortcomings even if they face off against the mighty Murim. It was said that there were as many as three cults of that size.
I was surprised at the time, but soon forgot about it. For the empress, all the xie jiao were there.
Stereotypes are so scary. If she had wanted to talk more about him, she would never have come out here.
The empress’ complexion turned pale.
‘If the force behind the Taegam is really that strong…’
I don’t know how strong the Kangho Wulin was, but the fact that the imperial family and government officials could not easily touch it was amazing. But what does it mean that such power lies dormant behind Taegam?
‘Even if we face headwinds, we can occupy the imperial palace if we want to?’
Creepy!
I got goosebumps again.
However, the Empress soon realized that this could not be possible.
Although there was a moment of suspicion, it made no sense to bring in an outside force to occupy the imperial palace.
This is because it is not a question of power, but a question of politics. Even if you take over the imperial palace like that, you will have much more to lose than to gain.
Who would recognize power gained through force? The throne is not like that. If it were a position that only a powerful person could occupy, there would have been thousands of treasons throughout history.
If the Grand Master tries to take over the imperial palace by borrowing the power of a cult, from then on all the power of the empire will be directed towards the Grand Master and his group of cults.
Rather than taking full imperial power, it would be a real war. No matter how brave you are, you would never think of doing something like that.
It was at a time when the Empress’s head was spinning very quickly.
thud!
Somewhere in the distance, a sound vibrated the ground.
The Empress was surprised. This is the sound that came from outside the palace. There was clearly a huge roar.
A voice was heard from the dragon statue.
“What does this mean?”
Wooheon bowed his head.
“The situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to mobilize the gold army and catch the traitorous bandits.”
“Geumgun?”
“I am very grateful, Your Majesty. However, the power of the traitorous cabal is so great. So, I sent some of my classmates’ hidden talents, so we can finally get to the bottom of it, even if it’s belated.”
There was a moment of silence.
The Empress asked in an effortlessly calm voice.
“Who on earth are these traitorous cabalists?”
Wooheon smiled coldly.
“I’m sorry because it will be suppressed soon, but please wait a little while.”
* * *
Boom!
With a huge explosion, the Third Palace Gate was scattered into tens of thousands of fragments and flew away.
Even though it was a wooden palace gate, it was thicker than the arm length of an adult man. Such a thick and large palace gate was shattered in one blow.
“What the hell!”
“Don’t panic!”
The palace gate disappeared. Wood fragments scattered and flying.
And beyond that, there was a majestic swordsman with blue eyes.
“What about those doubles?”
“It’s the attire of a thousand seals in the palace of the Great General! “This is a traitorous cabal, so arrest them immediately!”
There were no words to surrender or kneel.
Except for the general, kill him unconditionally. Such an order was given.
‘If it comes out like that.’
hook!
Yeonwi’s body stretched out like a stick of taffy.
Before he could even blink, Yeonwi, who had moved five miles, pushed the armament in front with his left hand.
Chiri-ri-ri-li-ring! Kugoogung!
“Aaaah!”
“What the hell!”
“Hold on!”
All it took was a light push, but the soldier who was pushed fell down after knocking down about 30 soldiers.
It wasn’t that I broke it with a blow or shattered the five organs and six parts using the inner reuter method.
I literally just pushed it. However, the force was so strong that not only the officers but also the soldiers fell.
Many of those who fell had one of their limbs broken.
That was enough. Yeonwi never intended to kill Geumgun.
‘Where are you?’
Faaagh!
The lieutenant stepped on the shoulder of a soldier approaching from the left and flew high into the sky.
‘…!!’
The soldiers of the Golden Army, looking up at Yeonwi, could not help but be astonished.
He stepped on a person’s shoulder and flew through the sky. It was over seven feet tall.
A night sky where it is difficult to find clouds. A swordsman looking down at the ground with a sword drawn, leaving behind the bright moonlight.
That sight strangely shook the hearts of the soldiers. It was a scene that seemed unlikely to happen in reality, but it was the appearance of a swordsman that you couldn’t take your eyes off even though the distance was far away.
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
‘That way.’
Beyond the rushing gold army.
Several people were seen wearing blue long robes with red thread over black clothes.
‘alumni!’
It was an organization headed by Taegam, the head of the eunuchs, and was a dangerous organization with greater power than the famous Geumwiwi.
The empire was filled with fear because it had the power to arbitrarily arrest citizens and even officials without going through any judicial institutions.
But what about now?
‘As expected, it was like that.’
I felt an all-too-familiar vibe from those wearing my classmates’ uniforms.
‘Mythology!’
Hwaaaaaaa!
In an instant, the sword fighting spirit reached its peak and covered Yeonwi’s entire body with a blue glow.
hook!
Astonishment appeared on the soldiers’ faces.
Since it flew high in the sky, it is normal for it to fall straight down.
But Yeonwi didn’t do that. It seemed like he kicked the air once and then flew across the air to the back of Geumgun.
‘Unbelievable!’
Thousands of operating expenses.
Even though it was moving as if it was flying, its posture was somehow upright.
It was the divine law of a gentleman who would not succumb to unjust external pressure or the overwhelming power of evil. Unlike Yeonhojeong, who trained the Four Gods, the attitude of Yeonwi, who operated the Cheonjong Unavi, was surprisingly upright.
And it was fast.
In the blink of an eye, Yeonwi’s body fell behind the team of doubles players.
“That’s huge!”
Jinsa, leader of the Dongchang Red Lantern Clan and general of the Shinhwa religion, attacked the capital.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
It seemed as if red flames were forming on the tips of my neatly stretched fingers, and then red flames spread over my hands and up to my elbows.
It was the fire dragon magic sword, the pinnacle martial art of Shinhwaism. It was an advanced martial arts technique that produced cutting power similar to that of a sword with bare hands.
“Looking at the sword, you seem to be the head of the Yeon family.”
pop! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
All members of the Red Orchid Team standing next to the Jinsa Temple lit up Fire Dragon Magic Blade. Although not as good as Jinsa, they all seemed to be of deep state.
Jinsa’s eyes were shining with life.
“I heard that you also killed our armed forces. Let’s see how great his martial arts skills are…”
Pow!
Jinsa was speechless.
A head flying high in the sky. The body that lost its head slowly tilted.
Soon, Yeonwi was standing in front of the falling body.
There was not a single drop of blood on Yeonwi’s sword.
“next.”
