Hyeonjilmusin - Chapter 65

65. I always have you (3)

The Hwiyoungsangdan, which had been sailing across the Sanggye as if sailing in a smooth wind, suddenly came to a sudden halt. However, the Sangdae did not become quiet. It seemed as busy as before, as eunuchs from the same class were rummaging through the Sangdae.

“Your Majesty.”

“yes.”

“Go in and rest. I will watch over the top.”

“What difference does it make if you just watch? Even if something breaks, you didn’t ask anything, right?”

“That is true, but.”

The eunuchs were actually doing state affairs without any consideration. I don’t know when it became state affairs to receive orders and commit evil deeds at the behest of a high-ranking official.

“You don’t have to come out, so why are you coming out?”

“It’s not just a job. It’s a proxy job. And I have my own job to do.”

Ah. I told you to create a staffing plan and a new organizational chart. You forgot to do it even though I told you to.

“Anyway, it’s a mess.”

We could only sit with our arms crossed and watch the eunuchs turn the tables.

They didn’t care at all that some of the documents and desks were damaged while being moved.

At first glance, I can understand why Jo Chung-heon is telling me to go in. I think it would be painful to watch the top that I have poured my blood and sweat into being trampled by others.

But I think that at times like this, we need to face the current situation. Right now, we are in the process of lying down on the ground and tasting the gall bladder. If we are afraid of that, we will not be able to give it back to them.

“When will this end?”

When I asked the eunuchs around me, they looked annoyed.

“It will end when the time comes. Why are there so many complaints about state events?”

“I was just wondering when it would end.”

“If you are working for the country, you may not be able to prepare water or refreshments.”

At the eunuch’s words, Jo Chung-heon’s face turned redder than mine. I knew that Dongchang was an arrogant force, but this was the first time I had experienced it firsthand. In my previous life, the Hwiyoungsangdan had never been involved with Dongchang.

I whispered something to Jo Chung-heon. I told him to go out and buy some water and food. Jo Chung-heon looked at me as if he was being sincere, but I just nodded.

Soon, when Jo Chung-heon brought food and water, the eunuchs were delighted. Even the eunuchs who had been grumbling earlier softened their expressions.

“Yeah. We’re not doing this because we want to, so how nice would it be if we could be considerate of each other like this?”

If it were you, would you want to show consideration to someone who was robbing your own house? But something else came out of my mouth.

“This is my first time seeing an event for my classmates. From now on, don’t worry about food and just work. If possible, please be more careful with your belongings and documents. I would appreciate it.”

“Okay, okay. There has to be this kind of back and forth.”

When they brought out some pretty expensive food, the eunuchs seemed to feel relieved. I sat next to them and ate one by one with my hands, sneakily joining in.

“But I guess there are a lot of people in the class. They mobilize a lot of people to places where even if you shake it like this, there won’t be any people. How many people are there?”

“I don’t know that either. The Admiral probably doesn’t know either. The only one who knows is the eunuch.”

A eunuch is the head of the class and the highest-ranking eunuch who directly assists the emperor. Of course, since it is a special task force, everything is likely to be shrouded in secrecy.

“I heard that many of your classmates are also involved in the martial arts world and are experts.”

“Ahem. That’s true.”

I like it when people call me a master. Of course, not all eunuchs are as pretty as Yi Hwan, so when I see him, I just want to beat him up.

“If you are an admiral’s classmate, how much of an expert would you be?”

“Well, classmates don’t ask each other about each other. It’s a secret. You keep asking about classmates. Do you want to get naked? If you want to, tell me. There are some guys who can get naked really well.”

“No, that’s not it. I just didn’t have the chance to meet my classmates, so I had a lot of questions. I apologize if I was rude.”

“It’s rude. Well, you seem like a decent person, so I’m telling you.”

He became a person just by being given a piece of food. As expected, there is nothing better than food to fool people.

“Classmates, you know. It’s a dangerous place. You said earlier that classmates don’t ask each other questions. Do you know why that is?”

“Isn’t it just because it’s a special task force?”

“That’s true, too. The more fundamental reason is that I don’t want to get attached. You never know when your classmates might disappear.”

The eunuch spoke with a sinister smile.

“Your classmates have various tasks, but they usually work in the shadows, not the sunny ones. So you never know when you might die. If you die, will your classmates come looking for you and take revenge? Or will they make your grave grand? It’s not like that. They just quietly disappear.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. That’s what classmates do. So don’t do anything that would be an eyesore to Admiral Classmates. Classmates is a place where people who kill people disappear, and where the dead disappear.”

“That’s really scary.”

“yes?”

The eunuch laughed as I held my forearms with both hands and shook my body exaggeratedly. No matter how many times I heard the eunuch’s neutral laughter, I could never get used to it.

After that, I roughly matched the eunuchs’ stories and then returned to the upper room.

“Your Majesty. You are truly more amazing than I thought.”

In the upper room, Jo Chung-heon, who had just returned from running an errand, was resting.

“What is it?”

“You even give food to those eunuchs who can’t even chew it and still not feel satisfied.”

“If you speak louder, I can hear you. My fellow eunuchs are all trained in martial arts.”

“Huh.”

Jo Chung-heon covered his mouth. Then he lowered his voice and whispered.

“So, how long will it last?”

“I don’t know. What.”

“It’s already been two weeks. It seems like I’m just rehashing the same documents.”

“Looking at the documents isn’t important anyway. What’s important is just killing time.”

“It makes me mad because it’s so obvious.”

Jo Chung-heon tried to raise his voice again, but then looked outside.

“It is said that Muhan Sanghoe is printing a lot of Nokrim Sipisik by connecting with publishers in Soju and Hangju.”

“I guess so.”

“Market share has also been pushed back.”

“That’s true. Oh, while we’re on the subject, tell Angel’s Room to cut down on the number of people. We don’t have much to sell anyway, right?”

“Yes. The warehouse is empty now. Instead, the warehouse of Muhan Trading Company is full of Nokrim Sip-shik.”

Now, Muhan Sanghoe was sailing with the wind at its back, just like Whiyoungdan was exactly two weeks ago. This was because the Nokrim Shipi-shik was still selling like hotcakes.

“Infinite Challenge has completely taken over the Nokrim Ship-2-Sik market.”

“Yes. They say they are producing it while reducing the handling of other items.”

“You’re really determined to step on us.”

“If we hadn’t been tied down by our classmates, we wouldn’t have been able to compete with them.”

“Hey, that’s not it. Even if we mobilize the black market, there are still many more people from Muhan Sanghoe.”

I laughed. The words that came out of Jo Chung-heon’s mouth were also strange. Although he was an upright person, it was basic manners for a person from the upper class to put gold on his face.

From Cho Chung-heon’s perspective, I was in a very angry state. I was doing well in sales, but my feet were tied because of my classmate, and at that very moment, a competitor surpassed us.

“Agency.”

“yes.”

“There is no festival that lasts all year round.”

“yes?”

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

I went out regardless of whether Jo Chung-heon understood or not. I had talked to the eunuchs to some extent, so it was time to go out.

To be exact, I have been waiting for the right moment to go out. Up until now, I have not been able to go out because the eunuchs were watching me.

I spread the spirit of the lower abdomen from the upper outside. I could feel the energy of the people looking at me. When I first met Admiral Dongchang, there were eight people, but now there were only two.

It was natural that the number of watchers would decrease as I had been doing nothing for two weeks and just going to work at the top and watching the eunuchs.

“Phew.”

I entered the alley. And as soon as I entered, I quickly unfolded my Cheongunbo.

There was no eunuch who could keep up with the speed of Cheongunbo, who was accompanied by quick movements. I quickly ran through the alleys, distracted the eunuchs, and leisurely escaped. When I opened my eyes again, there was no eunuch following me.

My heart felt lighter as I headed towards the Black Dragon Gate. As I entered the Black Dragon Gate, even the lowest-ranking people recognized me.

“Oh. Aren’t you the head of the Whiyoung Group?”

“Yes. Do you have a door?”

“Yes. Please go in. The Lord has been waiting for you.”

What are you waiting for? You didn’t even tell me when you would come.

I went up to the main office. In the main office, Moon Il-ji was sitting on a large chair. I smiled as soon as I saw him.

“The position of the Moonju suits you well.”

“I wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for you.”

Moon Il-ji got up grumbling.

“I was waiting for you, why didn’t you come?”

“I heard. The Whiyoungsangdan is currently suffering from a classmate. That’s why I couldn’t come because I had to be careful.”

“Ah. I heard that. There was a lot of talk that the Whiyoung Group was going under because of that.”

I grinned. People would think so. If the new top was stamped on the classmates, they would think it would be difficult to make any more sales.

“If we were going to fail because of that, we would have failed long ago.”

“Isn’t it a bit tough for your classmates?”

“It’s tough, but. Well. Where is it?”

“Ha. I thought I was going to die from a headache because of this kid.”

Moon Il-ji pushed the bookshelf behind Moon Ju-sil to the left and right. Behind the bookshelf, there was a secretly hidden iron door. When he opened the iron door, there was a staircase leading to the basement.

“Did something like this originally exist at the Black Dragon Gate?”

“Those who are dirty behind the scenes always have this.”

“It’s not like this is some palace torture chamber.”

I went down the stairs with a bitter smile. Of course, there were no night lights, so I had to go down the stairs slowly, one step at a time, holding onto the wall.

As I went down the stairs, the sound of people groaning and the musty smell of the basement greeted me.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

“This is a real torture chamber.”

I frowned at the sight of a man with both arms hanging from chains hanging from the ceiling.

The man in chains had broken limbs and a mangled face, looking downright ugly. Moon Il-ji kicked the man’s broken shin without saying a word.

“Eww!”

The person hanging there threw his head back and screamed. I looked around.

“You’re not making any noise, are you?”

“No way. Whenever I’m bored, I come here to beat them, but not a single person has ever said anything.”

Moon Il-ji smiled eerily.

The person who was hanging out was the former Black Dragon Gate Master. He was the one who had controlled and made Moon Il-ji lonely. So getting beaten up by Moon Il-ji like this was all karma. I had business with this person.

“hey.”

I spoke to the Black Dragon Lord, but he was still so drunk on pain that he couldn’t understand what I was saying. When I looked at the door, he instinctively raised his fist.

“Ugh!”

In an instant, Moon Il-ji’s fist turned the Black Dragon Lord’s jaw.

“Ugh, ugh.”

Blood flowed out along with the saliva. There were only a few teeth left.

“Answer me, you punk.”

“Oh, yes. Yes, I see.”

“What are you saying?”

“Okay, I understand.”

I nodded and lifted the Black Dragon’s chin.

It was my turn to ask questions.

“Loneliness. Where did it come from?”
