Everyone, including Pyeon Sa-gwang, thought to themselves that Nam Gung-cheon was crazy.
‘Are you going to kill me? oh my. ‘We are going to die because of you.’
But what was strange was Joo Young-myeong’s reaction.
I couldn’t explain why Joo Young-myeong was smiling as coolly as a cold snow in the north, unlike the easy-going appearance he had just shown, but it felt a bit harsh.
“… “Why do you think that?”
“When you first asked about the matter earlier, you asked whether I avoided people’s attention. But if you’re like a normal person, you wouldn’t ask such a question. This is my mother whom I haven’t seen in decades, so let’s check to see if she’s okay. normally.”
Although others may not know it, Hong Yu-hwa and Ui Hong-gwang, who worked in organizations that handle information, realized that what Namgung-cheon pointed out made a lot of sense.
‘… The question was definitely strange. ‘Why did your Majesty the Eight Kings ask such a question?’
“The glorious Eight Kings already knew where your mother was imprisoned.”
“I guess you already knew?”
“yes. When I mentioned that, I looked into His Majesty’s eyes and he was not surprised at all when I mentioned Bogyeongsa Temple as a place of incarceration. “I already knew.”
“that… then… why?”
Uihonggwang asked the reason, but for some reason he didn’t want to hear the answer. The feelings of others were similarly anxious.
“If you ask why I didn’t save your mother even though I knew where she was kidnapped, the reason is simple. “I was planning to pretend not to know and then use this as an excuse to turn the tables.”
“You pretend not to know and then turn the tables?”
“yes. Although he is scheduled to ascend to the throne, His Majesty the Eight Kings still has a weak political base. On the other hand, the vizier Yeom Sa-ho’s position has become somewhat unstable, but he still holds enormous power inside and outside the imperial family. Naturally, His Majesty the Eight Kings and the people around him wanted to change this structure. However, the queen happened to be imprisoned by Yeomsaho, so I tried to turn things around with this case.”
“Surely, you are saying that you are going to change the situation by making it public that your mother-in-law is imprisoned?”
Nam Gung-cheon shook his head towards Ui Hong-gwang and spoke while staring at the expressionless face of the Eight Kings, Zhou Yingming.
“no way. Can you defeat your opponent with that much? In order to intimidate His Majesty the Eight Kings, a treacherous person in the world imprisoned his mother, Queen Mother. Unfortunately, His Majesty’s mother was killed by the evil enemies. His Highness the Eight Kings, who found out about this too late, took on behalf of heaven and punished the treacherous person greatly. I took it down.
This is the big picture that can change the game. The most important factor that will change the game here is that the mother, Gwibimama, must die in the process. “Only then will it be keenly remembered by the public and will be able to arouse public indignation.”
The faces of Ui Hong-gwang and his companions turned as white as a sheet of paper.
‘mind… That doesn’t make sense. How could a child commit such a disobedient act against his own mother?’
Nangong Cheon knew that Ui Hongguang and others found it difficult to believe, but he did not try to convince them.
It’s definitely an incident that actually happened in a past life.
Due to a series of incidents, the opening was tied to Yeomsaho and wholesale level, completely ruining the situation, and as a result, the organized information network of the political faction almost completely collapsed, acting as a decisive setback in not being able to recognize the secret plan of the Heavenly Demon Church.
Nam Gung-cheon said while looking at Joo Young-myeong’s face, which had now gone from expressionless to completely cold.
“How is it. “I drew up this big picture for you, but I ruined it like this. Isn’t this enough of a reason to die?”
“… Hmm.”
As Joo Yeong-myeong’s subdued moans continued for a long time, the breathing of Namgung-cheon and his companions could not help but become heavier.
‘Is that really true?’
This is a remark that is too immoral and deep-seated to be believed to be true.
However, what makes people uneasy is that Joo Young-myeong’s eyes and expression have an unexplainable aura of reluctance.
Meanwhile, the queen, who could be said to be a party to the incident, was just reciting her disapproval with a calm face, so her appearance could not help but focus people’s attention.
In a serious atmosphere where the thin ice seemed like it could break at any moment, Nam Gung-cheon’s sonorous voice once again disturbed the uncomfortable air.
“But now that I think about it again, I don’t think that’s possible. What kind of person would his Majesty the Eighth King use such a petty method? “Isn’t that right?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
… Whenever you make someone look like an immoral person who can’t be used in the world, the person who made the claim denies it as if they were flipping the palm of their hand!
To use an analogy, what if we say that the breakwater is full of water and everyone is now in danger of dying? It turns out that there was no such water.
However, the companions desperately tried to agree with Namgungcheon’s opinion.
“that… That’s right. ha ha ha. “Is it possible that His Majesty the Eight Kings, who is wise and filial, would do such a thing?”
To be honest, I don’t know what crazy thing Namgung-cheon did.
If it is true that we discussed such a method, then the Eight Kings will become the unfavorable bastards of the world.
“Yes you bastard! “What kind of safety are you talking about now?”
“ah. I’m sorry. Since I was born uneducated and have become an unmanned babbler, my words often come out in vain. “Please don’t worry about what a lowly bastard said without knowing.”
“I… “Is there such a nasty person?”
The Eight Kings’ subordinates, unable to hold back their fierce anger, rose up, but Namgungcheon did not pay any attention to them.
He said he was sorry in words, but his attitude was like that of a next-door neighbor.
That sight must have aroused even greater anger, and the Eight Kings’ subordinates rushed at him with foam at the mouth.
“Are you hoping that you guys will survive this?”
“hmm… This is what I’m talking about, but I still saved the queen. “I don’t think you can say that the ball is small.”
“Well, that is.”
A moment of confusion appeared on the faces of the retainers.
Just a moment ago, because of that, he was being humiliated by Yeom Sa-ho’s subordinate, Pyeong Jeok-hong.
Of course, the ball is indescribably large.
“Then, how about using that merit to have the sin of being rude to His Majesty the Eight Kings forgiven? Actually, I didn’t save Mama Gwibi with any great intentions, I just happened to find Mama Gwibi in captivity and tried to get a piece of her. But looking at it now, the situation seems to have become a bit ambiguous, but a ball is a ball, so please punish me for being rude.”
“Huh. Tung? Tooung? “How can there be such frivolous people?”
“Understand. Ball versus person. “Aren’t all so-called martial people like that?”
As the criticism continued, Namgungcheon, who was the target of the criticism, was looking closely at the Eight Kings’ subordinates, contrary to his frivolous appearance.
‘There are those who are truly angry, while there are also those who make it up. And he… .’
“… “Is that really what you want?”
Nangong Cheon stopped thinking. This is because Joo Young-myeong finally opened his lips that were like a thousand pounds.
“yes. That’s right. majesty.”
“Hey! If you forgive them, it will never happen! “He must be severely punished to restore the dignity of the imperial family.”
Naturally, the Eight Kings’ subordinates strongly protested, but Zhou Yongming did not give up his will.
“He is the one who saved my mother. As the author said, the ball can never be said to be small.”
“majesty! but… .”
“Grace is grace. Who in the world would follow this Zhou Yongmyeong if he were to be punished for making arrogant remarks for a feat that no one else has achieved? I’ll ask again. “Is that really what you want as compensation?”
Namgungcheon spoke politely with a faint smile in his eyes.
“yes. I hope you do so. majesty.”
“… good night. I allow it. “You can just leave.”
“There were many instances of disrespect for Namgungcheon. majesty.”
“Hey, that guy who doesn’t even know the laws! Huh. “What is the world like?”
Namgung-cheon and his companions, who somehow retreated from the battle while hearing all kinds of harsh words, were so shocked that they just stared at each other blankly.
“Huh. ha ha ha. I survived… .”
The picture they drew when they came here was not at all like this.
I expected a painting like this to receive praise and win a big award.
But I should be grateful that I survived.
“Sympathy. First, let’s go to the nearest guesthouse. “I feel like I need to put something down my throat.”
Hearing Wang Gae’s voice drooping like a puppy exhausted in the midsummer heat, Pyeon Sa-gwang glared at Namgung-cheon and added his words.
“I agree. Wangbuntaju. I think it would be enough even without ordering snacks. “There’s plenty to chew on.”
what. That thing to chew on isn’t really me, right?
-Yungyouyuyung! –
what? Isn’t it natural for me to be a comfort food?
Because you saved these kids from almost dying!
… … By the way, I put down a fishing line, but I’m not sure if it will catch well.
* * *
An unseasonable drinking party was taking place in a guesthouse about ten miles away from Palwangbu.
“Wow. “If you really hang out with Sakongja, your heart will really feel strong.”
“I know yeah! That’s what I’m saying. Of course, crazy things didn’t happen yesterday or today, but today can be said to be the craziest!
Wow! In the world, every time the monk spoke a word, the words were so precious. ah! It’s really dead now. iced coffee! How dare you insult someone like that to the next emperor! however… what? Are you alive? This is it. It’s a miracle. miracle! “If I tell other people, maybe no one will believe me, right?”
“Right. I’m not the only one who thinks that, right? Oh my gosh. “Wangbuntaju understands my heart.”
“uh? But it’s compact. What is Buntaju between us? Bunta stock price. From now on, please call me Wang Awu. Are we normal? Aren’t you a comrade who has already survived from death twice? Once at Bogyeongsa Temple and once today at Palwangbu. “Hiccup.”
“No, no matter what, I… “How can I use the title ‘au’ to the open-minded Buntaju?”
“Sympathy. No, my brother! This king! If it weren’t for Brother Pyeon, I would have already become a guest at Bogyeongsa Temple. While I’m leaving, please accept my brother’s bow first. older brother!”
What. These Gojumangtae, who have become united with just one bamboo leaf herb.
As soon as I entered the guesthouse, I took a sip to soothe my startled heart, and then it was like that.
“Let’s do something.”
It was so pathetic that when Namgung-cheon said a word, they rushed at him like a swarm of bees.
“Jajjak? Self-destructive? Do you know what Master Sakong did today? He kicked away the fortune that came into his possession, saying, “Hey, I don’t like it.” “If they had just spoken well, we would have been treated like VIPs by now.”
“I know yeah! What an opportunity that was. “If I hadn’t said that, I would have been treated like a broken upper leg by now, right?”
Nangong Cheon looked pitifully at Wang Kai and Pyeon Si-gwang, who were attacking together as if they were sworn brothers.
“hey. “You think you survived thanks to me.”
“… What kind of life are you saving? “Thanks to Sagongja, I went to the vicinity of Samdocheon and came back.”
“Do you really think so?”
Namgungcheon’s voice became quite serious. It was so serious that the lamentations of the two drunks were cut off like a broken pipa string.
“no… Why are you taking it so seriously? .”
“Do you really think that?”
Ui Hong-gwang, who had been drinking bamboo leaf greens on his own without even taking off his bamboo ribs, as if he were some kind of enemy, and Hong Yu-hwa, who had an equally serious expression on his face, were now only looking at Nam Gung-cheon’s mouth.
And Shim Young… ah! You were the only one looking at me from earlier.
“He was really thinking of killing us. “That guy.”
“Okay. “I see.”
“what… I beg your pardon? this… Do you believe this absurd statement, old man Hyeopgeolgae? Then, all those immoral ideas?”
“The more I think about it, the more strange the Eight Kings’ reaction is. Because Namgung-cheon realized something suspicious, she must have deliberately brought it up in front of the queen mother. Isn’t it?”
“yes. That way, the eight kings who feel the emotional burden will save him and send him away on the spot.”
Pyeonsa Gwang, Wang Gae, and others opened their mouths.
“and… So what is it? We almost died, but we survived. So, are you really saying that His Majesty the Eight Kings, or rather that bastard of the world, sold his mother’s life to wipe out his political opponents? Sir! “Is the imperial family really such a heartless place?”
“what. It’s a place where you can become more heartless. It is.”
“Well, then what are you doing here? Please return to Namgung House as soon as possible. “If I stay here, I’ll get scammed.”
At Pyeonsa-gwang’s urgent voice, everyone’s heads shake mercilessly like young ears of rice.
‘I usually want to go faster, but why am I wasting time here?’
This place is only about ten miles away from Palwangbu.
Even though I rented out the entire guesthouse, which was rarely visited, I was able to find it in no time if I made up my mind to look for it.
“Just wait.”
“What are you waiting for? “Are you saying we’re going to have to wait for them to run away?”
“I threw out the bait, so I’ll have to wait and see if I catch a fish. But I think I got lucky this time.”
“yes?”
It was Ui Hong-gwang, not Namgung-cheon, who answered Pyeon Sa-gwang’s question.
He said, looking outside the main entrance, with his eyes sparkling calmly.
“… “The eight kings have arrived.”
