Absolute Sword Sense - Chapter 264

[ Episode 87 Infiltration (1) ]

Geumsangje Joo Yang-seon.

He is the 6th emperor of the Yan Dynasty.

He is the emperor who declared war against the martial arts since Taejo, who founded the Yan Dynasty.

It could be said that this was the time when Moorim and Gwan reached their worst point.

During the time of Geumsangje, there was an attempt to destroy any organization even remotely related to the martial arts, including the Samjok, and it was at that time that the government joined hands for the first time.

And during this period, Bihakwolga, who had held an official position in the imperial court for a long time, was kicked out and entered Musangseong and became Biwol Yeongjong.

In some ways, he is a royal dynasty who is like an enemy to his mother’s family.

And this was one of many times.

‘…So Ja Kyung-jeong hated the imperial family.’

It was said to be the worst era for Moorim.

I heard that the Jeongsa Daejeon, which was called the worst war of my time, was a fight between the martial arts people, but at this time the entire central plains were caught up in the vortex of war.

-Then that guy called Jagyeongjeong is trying to kill Geumsangje.

As of now, that can only be guessed.

However, it doesn’t seem to be an easy task.

I heard from Ho Jong-won that there are about 70,000 guards guarding Geumsangje, and about 8,000 of them are people who have learned martial arts.

Moreover, out of the twelve masters of the Twelve Temples of the World, which are said to be the pinnacle of this era, four became members of the Jinsangje.

-I’m not being cautious for no reason.

To be honest, I cannot accurately determine their martial arts level.

At least one person named Pakungwi Chosa seems to know.

He accurately aimed and shot at a target that appeared as a dot from an enormous distance of well over 2 miles.

It was clear that even the masters of this era were formidable.

-What are you going to do?

First, you have to infiltrate.

My purpose is not to kill Geumsangje.

Even though he had evil ties to the maternal side and was called the tyrant of this era, it was not his part to get involved.

– Catching the vigilante is the top priority.

okay.

We need to catch him and retrieve the Buddhist instrument.

Only then can I return to where I originally belonged.

So, should we wake them up now?

I approached the imperial soldiers lying on the ground and spoke.

“hey! “Come to your senses!”

The voice that came out of my mouth was not mine.

An imperial soldier who came to his senses the fastest looked at me and said in surprise.

“Che, Cheon In-jang, what happened to this?”

Now I look like a thousand seal.

There was no doubt because he had stolen the guy’s armor and was wearing it, and his voice was the same.

Now I have to lead them to infiltrate the imperial army.

* * *

The imperial army was seen advancing not far away.

It was the same when viewed from above, but when seen from the front, it was truly spectacular.

The ground seems to tremble every time the cavalry and the tens of thousands of imperial soldiers walk in unison.

However, the expressions of the soldiers following me are not good.

It was a very frightened face.

It’s been like this ever since I heard that the prisoners were taken away in an attack by an unknown expert.

He seemed to be afraid of punishment when he returned to military service.

Just looking at this gave us an idea of ​​how strong the military discipline was.

-If you keep doing this, won’t things go wrong before you even get close?

well.

That’s unknown.

According to military discipline, soldiers who fail their duties are subject to disciplinary action.

But there will definitely be a report before that.

If disciplinary action is taken unconditionally without any report for failure, will the military be able to sustain itself?

That’s why I dressed up as a thousand seal, even though it was somewhat risky.

-I’ll have to hope it goes all the way to the top.

If you are a 1,000-jang general, you are a 5,000-jang or general.

At least it would be good to have contact with the higher-ups.

It would be nice to have direct access to that house-sized carriage pulled by dozens of horses, but I’ll take the opportunity anyway.

-The true value of your spy experience will be revealed.

Even if there is no suspicion, I eat half and go in.

-Everyone is here. Who is coming out?

As Sodamgeom approached the front of the advancing army, a middle-aged man dressed in splendid yellow armor and handsomely groomed like a handsome soldier was leading a horse.

Generals who appeared to be adjutants on both sides followed like warrior guards.

“Ah…General Yeom came out in person.”

The soldier next to me spoke to me as if something big had happened.

If you want to dress up as someone, you have to choose someone with a position.

They tell me the information on their own.

“Everyone get off your horses.”

I naturally gave orders to the soldiers.

When I got off first, the soldiers also got off their horses with great pain.

General Yeom, who was coming forward as if I was waiting to meet him, frowned when I got off my horse.

“General!”

I fell to the floor at the speed of light.

Then he pretended to hit his forehead and shouted in an appropriate voice.

“We lost all the prisoners captured during the enemy attack.”

“no. Is that really true?”

General Yeom spoke to me in an embarrassed voice.

Judging by the way his eyes are slowly looking backwards, it seems that although he is a general, he is not the highest ranking person.

Or, it could be that he was watching the Emperor Jinsangje’s thoughts.

“I apologize. “I wanted to commit suicide on the spot because I had tarnished His Majesty’s honor, but as a military general, I had to finish my report, so I came back despite this disgrace.”

Sodamgeom stuck out his tongue at my words flowing like water.

-no. Anyone who sees him would think that he really served in the military for more than ten years.

If you have experience as a spy like me, this level of acting is just basic.

They are trained to infiltrate any organization.

Moreover, fortunately, the current period is in the past compared to where I was, but since we are in the same Yan Dynasty, I am familiar with the rank system and customs to some extent.

“Huh. “This is it.”

I spoke to a man named General Yeom who was continuously sighing.

“There is nothing wrong with those under your command. “It is all the fault of the officers who did not lead well, so please give them a light disciplinary action.”

“River Heavenly Seal!”

“How could you say such a thing….”

The soldiers who were afraid of discipline looked at me with emotion.

Judging by the surprising reaction, it appears that this Heavenly Seal that I dressed up as is not someone with a high level of trust.

In any case, it was not to impress them, but to be conscious of the superiors.

It would seem like a much stronger sense of responsibility than passing it off as the fault of someone below you.

“That is not for this chapter to decide. “It is a matter for the General to report to His Majesty for a decision.”

“I made a presumptuous request.”

-thud!

I hit my forehead on the floor again.

In fact, the sound is only loud because he is wearing a helmet.

However, each of these actions has a good effect on the superiors.

“Hmm. Wake up. “Let’s start by reporting what happened.”

In response, I spoke as if I were the one who had experienced this.

“As if he had guessed our travel route, an expert attacked us.”

“Han cilantro? “You mean one person?”

“yes! That’s right.”

General Yeom’s expression became quite serious when he heard that there was only one person.

He motioned for me to continue talking.

“The person who suddenly appeared was a face I had never seen before. Just by stepping on the ground, he created wind pressure and knocked down the soldiers under my command. He even knocked us all out with a simple snap of his fingers.”

“I snapped my fingers and everyone fainted?”

General Yeom’s eyes widened.

I wondered what level of expert he was, but when I listened to him, he seemed very surprised because he was definitely not at an ordinary level.

General Yeom muttered while stroking his long beard.

“Are you by any chance the person that Pakungwi saw?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“No. Since we are continuing to advance, the soldiers under his command will stick to the rear of the left army, and you and the general will go to report to the general in the central army.”

-oh!

It went faster than expected.

The coffin process is complicated and so is the military, so I thought I would go through the waiting process.

But I think it was influenced by Jingun.

‘Are you not planning on stationing a station?’

When I looked at the sky, it was stained red with the sunset.

Usually, the camp site is prepared for camping even before this happens.

However, the fact that they were still marching seemed to mean that they would move without stopping, even at night.

‘…Did it alert you?’

Could it be that it caught the eye of a peerless archer, who is presumed to be the archer?

However, no matter how much it was, marching in the middle of the night only accumulated fatigue for the entire army if there was no clear purpose.

-What is your clear purpose?

What is the purpose of the military moving at night?

-Is it really war? But if you keep marching, you just come across a forest. It was like that for dozens of miles.

I find that strange too.

As I came here, I looked at the soldiers under my command.

They also had no idea why the emperor had left his home in person.

However, seeing as the entire army continued to move south, everyone was speculating that the goal might be the Si faction or blood ties in Guangxi Province.

“What are you doing? River Thousand Seal. “Follow me.”

“yes. General.”

In any case, the central army can approach with carriages the size of a house.

Even before arriving here, the pendulum needle was trembling.

If you get closer, you’ll find him.

-Quit! Shut up!

As I went up against the army that was advancing following General Yeom, I saw three huge carriages.

It looked big when seen from above, but at that level it was no different from a small moving palace.

A tent with gold embroidery was pitched on a large wooden board led by dozens of horses, and smoke rose from above.

-Are there Geumsangje and Jagyeongjeong in there?

Don’t you know?

I’ll have to find a way to get in there.

It seems like a person with a position like a general would be able to come in and out naturally, but the security around here was incomparable to other places.

‘…There are so many peak masters.’

Everyone around the tent wore the armor of a general, and they were all experts of the highest caliber. Their number reached nearly one hundred and fifty people.

‘This makes it worth pushing forward with the conquest of Wulin.’

It was not for nothing that all the factions of the government joined forces.

The two men driving horses at the entrance of the middle mobile tent were even top experts.

An elder of a clan is serving as a gatekeeper.

Looking at this, it looks like the emperor is in the center tent.

-Can you feel the energy inside?

‘no. ‘The curtain is drawn with a profound charm.’

The interior of the center and left tents was filled with ambience.

It seemed like it was to prevent voices from escaping from inside, but the energy was so strong that it was impossible to tell what was inside by feeling the energy.

Inside the tent, there is an expert who has overcome the wall.

You may be able to measure it by raising your energy a little more, but if you do that, your efforts to save energy will soon be revealed.

“Wait while riding the horse for a while.”

General Yeom entered the unguarded tent on the right.

There were quite a few people in the tent on the right, and I could feel the energy of the experts inside.

There were even two supreme masters.

‘Is this really a coffin?’

I knew that there were martial arts experts in the imperial family.

Rather, they are as good at training martial arts experts as the martial arts people.

All you have to do is invite elixirs or outstanding experts from outside the world.

But now that I’m directly inside it, I feel like I’m seeing its true nature.

‘……Even an expert who has overcome the wall will have a hard time escaping.’

-Is it that much?

I feel once again that I am in the middle of enemy territory.

Tension rises.

If Ja-gyeong-jeong has the trust of Emperor Jin Sang-je at the moment, it would be quite difficult to catch him here.

Rather, we might have to encourage them to go outside.

However, the charm that had prevailed in the tent on the left disappeared.

I looked away from the corner of my eye.

At that time, two people came out from inside the tent.

-uh? That guy?

I think I know why Sodamgeom is surprised.

The person who came out first was a middle-aged man of considerable size and muscle, and on his back was a large bow that was incomparable to an ordinary bow and a barrel filled with long, thick arrows.

-That’s him, right? Is that a demon or something?

I think so.

There was no doubt that the energy felt had definitely surpassed the wall.

What was strange was that his left and right eyes were moving differently, probably because he had practiced eye techniques.

-Gross.

The eyes move like a reptile, causing discomfort to the viewer.

After that, a woman was walking out.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman with flowing silver hair that reached down to her waist.

If you only look at his appearance, he appears to be only in his mid-twenties, but the aura he gives off is actually stronger than that of the person assumed to be a demon.

‘It was a woman.’

This is unexpected.

When I only heard that it was Snow White from the North Sea Ice Palace, I thought it was a man.

Anyway, it’s the first time since Papa Aksim that I’ve seen such a strong female expert.

-It looks very exotic.

As Sodamgeom said, they look different from the Jungwon people.

They say they come from the Northern Sea Ice Palace, which is closer to the northern people, and it seems to be true.

From the corner of my eye, I could see her hands were as white as jade.

‘It’s giving off chills.’

Even though he was conserving his energy, his sleeves were covered in white powder as if frost had settled on them, making it seem like his martial arts ability to deal with cold energy was at its peak.

-uh. It’s Unhwi. Is that woman looking at you?

me?

No way.

The energy was captured perfectly.

Nowadays, it is difficult for me to recognize energy unless I am an expert who has overcome many obstacles.

A man named Pakungwi Chosa shook his head and said.

“Just do it in moderation.”

“Don’t get involved in my business.”

With those words, she approached me, who was riding a horse near the tent on the right.

Then, the man named Pakungwi Chosa sighed and entered the tent where he assumed the emperor would be.

It felt like I was quite trusted when I saw that it was accepted immediately after just a few words.

-Do you think it’s coming for you?

Even if you don’t say it, I know.

What should I do?

Could it be that the person I am disguised as, Kang Cheonjang, is acquainted with this woman?

Judging by the way it approaches slowly, it doesn’t seem to have noticed my inaction.

What should I do with this?

It’s a completely variable situation.

I don’t know if I should say hello or not.

The distance from her was almost ten steps.

“Hmm.”

I heard a cough next to me.

A grizzled old man walked out from inside the tent on the right.

General Yeom was following behind him carefully, as if he were his assistant.

I instinctively knew who he was.

“See you, General!”

Without getting off the horse, I turned my upper body, put my hands together, and lowered my head.

The grizzled old man nodded his head slightly.

‘That’s right.’

I guess I’m lucky.

The general came out at a surprising time.

Unlike General Yeom, who barely learned martial arts, General Daejang was a master of martial arts.

Just looking at the calluses on his hands and the scars here and there, he is a veteran with a lot of experience.

The general told me.

“You defeated top-class experts with just two moves?”

It seems that General Yeom reported the situation.

To this, I answered with my head down.

“That’s right. “General.”

“You only took prisoners without killing a thousand generals and hundreds of generals as skilled as you. This is not something that can be overlooked.”

They said he was a general, and he had considerable insight.

It seemed like they believed that my survival in disguise was due to some ruse.

“General.”

Then I heard the woman’s voice from behind.

The voice is emotionless, as if a north wind or cold snow is blowing.

The general said, looking at her behind me.

“I guess it worked out well. “I think you would know better if you were better at martial arts than Nobu.”

“What do you mean?”

“They say the Cheoninjang of the river here was attacked while transporting prisoners.”

“Raid?”

I felt a strange emotion in her voice.

If he had been cold just a moment ago, his tone sounded like he was worried.

When I slowly turned my head back, I saw her looking at me with worried eyes.

what?

While I was puzzled, the general continued speaking.

“I heard that you stepped on the ground and created wind pressure to knock down Baekjang, who were top-notch experts. What level of expert do you think you are?”

To that question, she, who seemed to be white, frowned and answered.

“…If that’s the case, it would be difficult unless you are an expert with a level of competency equivalent to that of the world’s twelfth.”

“As expected, I have the same opinion as this chapter. “I am planning to go to tell His Majesty. Would you like to go with me?”

“I have some business to attend to before then.”

One of the general’s eyebrows rose at her words.

I wondered why, but it was because her eyes were directed towards me.

No, does this guy really know that woman?

If that’s the case, you chose the wrong person.

‘shit.’

What should I do with this?

While I was perplexed, the general said.

“After I report this to Your Majesty, I may call the River Heavenly Seal. I hope you do it appropriately.”

“…….”

She didn’t respond to that.

At this, the general coughed with a look of pain, and soon headed to the central tent with General Yeom.

General Yeom remained at the entrance and the general entered the tent.

What should I do?

I was wondering if I should wait together, but she called me.

“Strength…a thousand seals.”

I don’t know what their relationship is, but seeing that the general, who can be said to be the commander-in-chief of the army, treated me with courtesy, I think I should do the same.

I answered her by putting my hands together and lowering my head.

“yes. “Did you call me?”

Then a strange thing appeared in her eyes.

Then, with an expressionless face, he gestures for me to follow him.

-Why are you asking me to follow you?

I do not know.

If the general goes in to see the emperor, he might call me soon.

But where are you asking me to follow you?

When I hesitated and didn’t move, she said to me.

“Does my name, Deputy Governor of the Special Forces, sound funny?”

‘Deputy Governor of the Special Forces?’

I have never heard of such a position.

However, being called a deputy governor seems to have given him a fairly high official position.

I couldn’t just scratch it and make crumbs.

I urgently spoke to her.

“no. “How could I?”

Then she raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“Then follow me.”

“…….All right.”

Why on earth are you asking me to follow you?

The place she went ahead was the tent on the left where she had come out.

As I passed the middle tent, which I presumed to be the emperor’s tent, General Yeom was looking at me and clicking his tongue.

I don’t know why I’m reacting like that.

First, I followed her into the tent on the left.

-Good!

As I entered, I felt the flow of real energy and the entrance to the tent closed.

“What are you doing when you’re not coming in?”

I was shocked by her words and went inside.

The inside of the tent was very spacious, measuring almost 20 pyeong.

Wouldn’t it be led by dozens of horses?

It looks quite cozy and the room has been made so that several people can live there.

It was right then.

-Park!

Suddenly, Seolbaek rushed towards me.

I was confused, wondering if she was trying to subdue me, but her expression was smiling brightly.

He seemed expressionless and emotionless, which was completely contrary to that.

She rushed over and suddenly hugged me.

“Gang Lang.”

‘Kang Lang?’

Lang was a title used when calling a lover.

Now the question has been resolved.

Why did she show interest in me?

“Vice-Governor…..for now…..”

“Don’t call me that. It’s just the two of us now. “Call me Seolmae.”

Seolbaek said to me with a bright smile.

I don’t know what to do with a woman of equal beauty to Sima Ying speaking with a determined and charming voice.

I am at a loss as to whether I should follow this rhythm or come up with some excuse to get out of it.

-You’re the guy in disguise… he’s completely capable.

Sodamgeom stuck out his tongue.

On the other hand, I also think that way.

Although Cheon In-jang was not a low-ranking official in the military, the gap was wide when it came to being a vice-governor.

Moreover, isn’t this woman called the Twelfth Emperor of the World in martial arts?

He was a talented person of Sodamgeom.

‘shit. ‘What should I do with this?’

She’s clinging to me, from her chest to her legs.

At this level, it seems like they really are lovers.

-What can I do? If you don’t want to get caught, you have to act.

I guess so.

The general will find me soon anyway, so I just have to hold on until then.

I guess I’ll have to adjust it appropriately and then get out of there.

-Sigh!

While I was thinking that, she suddenly touched my cheek with a cold hand.

Then he lifted his heel and tried to kiss her.

‘!!!’

For a split second, I was confused and hesitated as to what to do.

But in the end, I had no choice but to receive her kiss.

When she kissed me, I felt a cold chill and my lips became cold.

Of course, this level of chill was not a problem for me.

-Is it good?

No matter how beautiful you are, what good is it when a stranger kisses you?

Moreover, even if he looks like he is in his mid-twenties, if he is an expert who has overcome the barrier, his actual age would be much older.

It was right then.

Her soft, cold tongue penetrated my lips.

In my long career as a spy, this was the first time I encountered such an unexpected situation.

‘ah!’

At that time, a good number occurred to me.

This is the gugyeol of Ju Ju-ryeon, the princess of Hyanghwayeolrakgung.

In response, I raised my head and memorized the nine verses.

“Hmm.”

A moan escaped her mouth.

For a moment, their tongues touched and tangled frantically, and wrinkles appeared between her fair eyebrows.

-widely!

She pushed me slightly and then grabbed my wrist.

And asked.

“who are you?”

‘!!!’

Did you notice?

But her face was gradually turning red.
