#Nice to meet you, Your Highness (2)

Phew!

The overwhelming aura that the Ghost Army had been emitting slowly disappeared like water in a broken jar.

Because the internal energy is too vast to be blown away all at once.

‘A monster is a monster.’

Jang Yi-seo calmed his heart inwardly.

Ghost Demon Army illusion.

Although he is now only a third-class assistant, he was a great demon leader who plunged the Central Plains into a state of bloodshed twenty years ago.

Hundreds of martial artists from the Gupaebang disappeared like dew in his hands.

In short, he is a master known nationwide.

Of course, Jang Yi-seo is the shameless one who doesn’t even blink an eye at the sight of such a monster.

‘It’s different from what I heard.’

And at the sight of these books, Cheonmugi began to show deep interest beyond curiosity.

All that is known so far is that he is an incompetent money ghost from the 7th level.

However, no matter how I look at him now, he doesn’t look like that kind of clumsy ordinary person. He has guts and hidden skills.

Of course, the moment Mao obtained the seal of the White House, it was somewhat expected.

Maybe he.

The hypothesis is that it might be the real secret sword planted by the Four Sea Spirits.

But now I see.

‘It’s certain. The sword that the third one hid.’

“What brings you here?”

So whatever your answer is now.

I will never get out of here alive today.

But.

“From now on, Chilsogung… … .”

A completely unexpected situation unfolded.

“I will not move for the sake of the three princesses.”

“What? Hahaha!”

For the first time, a smile broke out on Cheonmugi’s face.

You started this whole thing and now you’re saying you won’t do anything for the sake of the three princesses?

“Does that mean… … that you’re going to betray the third one?”

“No.”

“Isn’t that so?”

“It is not a betrayal since I never swore loyalty to the Three Princesses in the first place.”

“That’s not what you should be saying.”

“What are you talking about?”

When Jang Yi-seo made a face as if he didn’t know what was going on, Cheon Mu-gi responded as if he found it funny.

“Weren’t you the one who was planted by the third son in the first place?”

“Why do you think so?”

“I already know that you entered on the third person’s recommendation. Did you really think I didn’t know that?”

A gloomy aura seeps through Cheonmugi’s fingers.

Whether you say no or yes, I will stick a stick of wind down your throat.

But.

“The place I originally worked was the counterintelligence unit.”

A ridiculous remark came out of Jang Il-seo’s mouth.

“……so?”

“I stayed there for about 10 years. And the chief of the counterintelligence unit I followed at that time was a man named Gyeomsaik, and he was very picky about money. So he lived by the belief that the one who gave him the money was the master.”

I know very well that he is a humble man. He is someone who does not stand in line anywhere and has a very low rank compared to his martial arts skills and achievements. So, isn’t he someone who has given up?

“What does that mean?”

“The person who wrote the letter of recommendation for the third princess is none other than the great lord Gyeom. You will know this as soon as you check.”

“what?”

“But then, does that mean I’m the person that the great lord planted?”

Ha! The thousand-armed man slammed the table.

“That’s forced.”

“That’s not true. I live under orders. If my affiliation changes, then my position will naturally change as well.”

“What a lame excuse. So are you saying that you are not one of the three princesses?”

Yeah. But I was never her person to begin with. I was a member of the Murim Alliance.

“What’s important is that I’m standing right now in front of Your Highness the Grand Duke.”

Cheonmugi rested his chin on his hand and smiled sinisterly.

“Haha, that guy has a wicked tongue.”

“I’m just following the trend.”

“That’s true. This is a place where people like you can survive.”

That’s a bit harsh. Jang Il-seo bit his teeth and forced a grin.

Anyway, judging from his expression, the Archduke’s suspicions seemed to have been somewhat dispelled.

It would have been more touching for Cheon Mu-gi to reveal a clear path rather than make flimsy excuses.

As he said, this is that kind of place.

“Is the youngest’s intention the same as yours?”

He asked in a much more relaxed tone.

“The Seven Princes are not taking sides and are just quietly hoping that this time will pass without incident. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that they are not particularly interested.”

“Hmm, he’s still a kid.”

Thinking about Mao over the years, I find myself nodding my head.

There was silence for a moment.

And then the mouth of the Thousand Weapons opened again.

“What do you think?”

“I dare say that we will not be going to Samso Palace on this recruitment day. So even if you do not persuade the lords, this plan will fail.”

“so.”

“But from now on, the three princesses will continue to try to obtain it. No matter what.”

“That’s right. The third one is not the type of person to give up anything easily if he judges it to be his own.”

Whether it was a badge, a position, or a person, even Cheonmugi acknowledged his tenacity.

“But that’s the same for science and engineering students too.”

“hmm?”

“There is a high possibility that he will become greedy as well. There will be many warriors of the Oryongdang who will rush to his call.”

The forehead of the thousand-armed man twitches.

Because it makes sense.

The scholar is simple and cruel, but his greed is also great.

Now that the three princesses have made the first move, they are in a hurry to stop it, but what next?

“What do you want to say?”

A hint of thirst is added to Cheonmugi’s voice.

At this, Jang Yi-seo smiled and said.

“I have a clever plan that will blow away the seal of the White House.”

“A clever idea?”

“yes.”

Jang I-seo speaks confidently.

The expression on his face was so confident that I couldn’t help but ask.

Even the Ghost Demon Army unconsciously licked its blue lips. That shows how curious it is.

but.

“Hahahaha!”

Cheonmugi started talking nonsense without even asking.

Then he jumped up from his seat and slammed the table in front of him.

Let’s quickly stretch our arms forward.

“Huh!”

Jang Yi-seo’s body was dragged helplessly and his neck was automatically caught in his grasp.

It wasn’t something I could actually hold in my hand, but something that was caught in an invisible energy that was just an inch away from my fingertips. Truly an incredible force!

“Who dares to talk like that?”

“What… … are you saying… … .”

Jang Yi-seo barely managed to utter a word with a red face, as if he was being wronged.

one.

“Did you really think I would trust you?”

Jang Yiseo’s eyes widened.

“Weren’t you the one who planned this situation in the first place?”

“… … !”

Crunch! My throat is getting tighter.

Enduring this was a battle of willpower. And Jang felt an incredible sense of helplessness, like a rat in front of a snake.

Unlike himself, who was only at the beginning of his peak, the power of the Thousand Weapons had already surpassed its peak.

When Jang Yi-seo’s face turned a deathly color, Cheon Mu-gi glared at him as if he found it ridiculous and then threw him against the wall.

“Ugh… … .”

Cheon Mu-gi chuckled as he looked at Jang Yi-seo, who had collapsed on the floor, and spoke his thoughts.

“This is a sloppy, cunning, and clever affair. It is not the way of the Four Sea Spirits, nor the way of the Abyss. It is the smell of an unfamiliar mine that I have never smelled before.”

“… … !”

“Yes, you. Exactly you.”

Jang Yiseo looked at him with hardened eyes. At this, Cheon Mugi’s confidence hardened.

“I understand now. You didn’t use the sword that the third one hid, but you also used the third one. You put that child in front of me to move the second one. Why? Why did you do this?”

Woohoo!

A huge amount of murderous energy emanated from Cheonmugi’s body.

It was so intense that it felt like dozens of arrows were piercing my entire body.

Sure enough, I was that guy.

Neither martial arts nor intelligence. Nothing is lacking.

To the point where you don’t believe anything unless it fits perfectly.

one…….

‘That’s why you have no choice but to be deceived.’

Jang Yiseo said, hiding his inner smile.

“In a couple of months… … there will be a showdown between the Seven Princes and the Bloodless Prince in Maga.”

“what?”

“And if the Seven Princes lose, I will become a member of the Maga family. Because you bet on me.”

“Are you talking about your assistant… … ?”

“Yes. The Bloodless Prince coveted me.”

Bloodless Prince Mysin. When his name was mentioned, Cheonmugi’s expression changed subtly.

Anyway, he was considered to have the best review index along with himself.

If he’s paying attention, he’s definitely not an ordinary guy.

“So if you have to leave anyway… … shouldn’t you have something to hold on to?”

So that’s why you came here.

Cheonmugi inwardly hit his knee!

Because now it makes sense.

A lowly man with nothing managed to stick by Chil-gong-ja’s side, but as soon as he got there, he became subordinate to Maga.

So the board was made.

A big plate for me to listen to.

Then everything falls into place.

“Hahaha! Now that I look at it… … I see that you’re not evil, you’re just a weakling. Did you think I’d listen to you if you did this?”

Jang-seo was silent at the sight of Cheonmu-gi’s venom.

And I thought to myself.

Yeah, you’ll listen to me.

because.

‘Now you believe I have a real solution.’

Just one thing, without any other selfish motives.

Because you’ll think some clever squid is just intervening to make a quick buck.

No matter how generous you act, you’re a pragmatist full of snakes.

So you will listen to me.

“Hmm… … .”

And these predictions turned out to be spot-on.

Traces of distress began to appear on Cheonmugi’s expression.

Jang-seo wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, saying, “I can’t let this opportunity pass me by.”

“I am a former member of the counterintelligence corps.”

“……so?”

“I learned everything from the chief of the counterintelligence unit, Gyeomsaik, and he is a man who is very picky about money.”

“What do you want me to do? Are you… … asking me for money?!”

“It’s a trick worth the effort.”

What kind of guy is this… … . As the expression on Cheonmugi’s face became strangely distorted, the Ghost Demon Army finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and raised its voice.

“Hey you! How dare you talk nonsense about safety!”

What kind of safety is this? Isn’t it in front of the thugs of the Demonic Cult?

When Jang Yi-seo snickers, the Ghost Demon Army’s eyes roll back.

one.

“It’s done. That’s the one thing I hoped for and risked my life to come all the way here.”

“Your Majesty the Grand Duke!”

Cheonmugi raises his hand. He tells them not to make any more noise.

“Okay, good. What is it? That trick? If it works, I’ll bury all your deceptions.”

“… … .”

“Why? You don’t like it? Then die.”

Woohoo!

Once again, a huge amount of energy rises from Cheonmugi’s body.

One of them said, as if he didn’t care about such things.

“One hundred silver coins.”

“what?”

“If you give me this, I will render all of you, the second and third princesses, useless, so that you will not be able to look down on Baek In-jang.”

“under.”

“Even if I die here, it won’t make a difference, right? The three princesses, the second princess, they’ll all go to the seven princes. Then, Your Highness the Grand Duke will have no choice but to engage in an unnecessary war of attrition with them.”

“Why should I? The youngest should have died before those guys left.”

“I won’t stay still in Mark.”

“After all, Elder Il is on the same boat as I. Would he be worse than the child I abandoned?”

“But the price is probably a hundred silver coins, which is nowhere near enough.”

“Haha, so. It’s cheaper to give it to you?”

“I heard that there is a huge amount of silver coming from the Western Regions via the Silk Road. And the Maga, Meng, and Cheonga manage it. So I don’t think it’s a lot of money for the Grand Duke. Of course, it’s an amount that I can risk my life for.”

Ha! A cool smile spread across the corners of Grand Duke Cheonmugi’s mouth.
