The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 452
Episode 452
The noblewoman looked down with wide eyes at the figure of Eotaksoo, the leader of the Seochang killing team, lying flat and reporting.
“…I hurriedly chased after them, but they seemed to be newbies.”
“…”
“But don’t worry. They fled to the outskirts of Suncheon-bu, but they are tracking down all the officers remaining in the Hwangseong, so they will arrest them soon.”
Eotaksu sighed and slammed his forehead on the floor.
“They fled to the outskirts of Suncheon-bu? Ha… Ahahaha!”
“…?”
I was puzzled by the sudden outburst of the queen, but I couldn’t help but raise my head.
“so? Have you checked Wi Jeong-pil’s saga?”
“yes?”
“Have you properly investigated what the robber was aiming for?”
“They seem to have been for money. It was full of traces of various treasures and documents. It seems that the kidnapping of Daetaegam is probably in preparation for future negotiations or when caught.”
He added his own judgment to the contents of the investigation.
“okay? Are you sure it’s a robber?”
“…”
“There were no other traces, and all of the Seochang officers remaining in the imperial castle were mobilized to pursue them?”
“Yes Mama!”
As the fisherman bowed his head even more, the queen nodded.
“Yeah, well done. You did very well.”
“…?”
“How can I not give a reward to you, who is so great?”
Eotaksu’s face brightened as he lowered his head at the princess’s words.
Eotaksoo was just one of the leaders of Seochang.
He led the group of annihilators, but at best he was no different from a madman who cut off the enemy’s breath.
Sometimes there were people who had to be killed for no reason, so they always had to live in darkness.
A shadow that cannot reveal itself. That was his destiny.
But it’s a very strange thing to be a human being.
The position became vacant because Admiral Seochang Wang was involved in corruption.
It was obvious that the next admiral’s post would go to one of the ten captains under the king’s office.
Currently, most of them have been dispatched to Gansu, and there are only three people left, including himself.
Therefore, the current situation was an opportunity for advancement.
Eotaksu vowed that he would surely fall in the eyes of the princess and become the new admiral.
“Now raise your head and take this drink. It is a drink made with the intention of being more loyal.”
“Mama Mama!”
When the noble lady approached and handed over the drinking cup she received from Shibi, Eotaksu couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“Okay. Go ahead and drink.”
“I will drink all the precious wine that Mama has given me!”
“Cancer. Don’t you have to.”
When the queen nodded, Eotaksu turned her head slightly to the side and drank at once.
it will come Toward the
admiral
‘s seat one step faster than the others…
“…Yes Mama?”
Eotaksu, who smiled brightly at the queen’s question and straightened his head, was startled by the sudden sense of difference.
Was it this face?
Was it such a cold smile?
“Wi Jeong-pil was kidnapped by a robber?”
“That’s right.”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“….”
“The saga of Wi Jeong-pil is in the heart of Suncheon-bu.”
Eotaksu became more and more anxious at the increasingly chilly look on her face.
What the hell is that cold life passing by her eyes…?
“Even though the president has been removed, the number of soldiers guarding Suncheon-bu counts to 10,000. Two thousand soldiers patrolling all night. How much more, the height of the wall surrounding Suncheon-bu reaches more than 10 feet, and it is being robbed?”
“…”
“How much more did he break through the borders and escape to the outskirts of Suncheon-bu beyond the fortress wall so that many soldiers would not notice?”
“Mama?”
“You are really stupid. What mad robber could do that?”
“…”
“If you had paid a little more attention, you would have known…”
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of the princess’s mouth.
Sureureung.
Her outstretched hand pulled out the sword that was tied to Eotaksoo’s waist.
But I couldn’t stop it.
It was because the body didn’t budge.
why? I, who have been practicing martial arts all my life… Could it be that the alcohol I drank a while ago?
“Receive the reward from King Yeomra.”
“…”
The sword of Eotaksoo, held up by the queen with both hands, glowed eerily in the sunlight.
Damn it…
Poouk!
Unaware that each step he took was a step towards the entrance to the underworld, not success, Eotaksoo died like that.
He was stabbed in the neck by his own sword and collapsed at the feet of the noblewoman.
As if watching the blood dripping from Eotaksoo’s corpse wet the floor, the noblewoman’s eyes were filled with life.
“Jinmu…”
The guy was clear.
After deceiving the fact that he was colluding with the king, he approached him and cut off all his limbs that had been spread out in the imperial palace.
Following the kingship of the six cabinets, now he is Wi Jeong-pil.
It’s probably meant to put pressure on you.
In addition, it must be an intention to provoke hasty actions.
If the kingship is captured, everything related to the deaths of the princes will be revealed, and if Wi Jeong-pil is secured, you will be able to obtain numerous evidences through disputes with the eunuchs.
But that alone isn’t enough.
Cut off the tail and that’s it.
Whatever Wang Jik or Wi Jeong-pil uttered, all evidence related to them was erased.
Wasn’t that why even the young king had doubts but couldn’t put a snare on himself?
If he had colluded with the king, he wouldn’t have known that…
What was he aiming for all this time?
their purpose.
The action to be taken by oneself who had all his limbs cut off.
The corner of the princess’s eyes twitched in agony.
“Such a fool. You are waiting for me to use the Emperor.”
It was a conjecture close to certainty in the circumstances.
It is clear that he, who is in danger, is waiting for the Emperor to open a great meeting.
It’s about tying yourself up on the spot. It means you’ve found something worthwhile.
“That’s right. Come, let me move as you wish. you should know one The fact that things won’t turn out the way you want… even if I have to abandon the imperial family.”
Blue miasma passed through the eyes of the princess who was muttering to herself.
* * *
“The Daejeon meeting?”
Jinmu jumped up from his seat at the words of King Yeong, who had come early in the morning.
The queen started moving as expected.
It had only been two days since he had brought Wi Jeong-pil to a safe place.
King Yeong knew that Wi Jeong-pil was in Jinmu’s hands.
Because Wi Jeong-pil’s saga had already been robbed, and the fact that he had been kidnapped spread far and wide in Suncheon.
I couldn’t lie.
Jinmu explained that all of them were to expel the nobles, and King Yeong accepted without hesitation.
Of course, I never dreamed that the prince was also in Jinmu’s hands.
“They say His Majesty gave the order himself. You have summoned all the hundreds of thousands of people. Even you and your underlings who made a great achievement through the investigation of corruption this time.”
“…”
King Yeong said with an excited face, but Jinmu remained calm.
The gwibi’s movements were faster than expected. I thought it would take ten more days.
In any case, it must be said that he was perfectly caught in his target.
That’s it.
I walked into the trap I made myself, so I won’t be able to escape anywhere.
Whatever you imagine, I will show you more.
“All right. We will prepare it.”
“Yes, yes. very regretful Now that we can get rid of the nobles and their factions that disturbed the imperial family… How about Wang Jik and Wi Jeong-pil talking about the deaths of the princes?”
The young king asked with a very curious expression, but there was no need to show him everything.
As long as the crown prince is in his hands, he too will suffer the same fate after beating the queen.
“Not yet. Until the Hana Daejeon Conference, everything will be clear.”
“I will believe you.”
The king held Jinmu’s hand tightly.
“Then I’ll see you then.”
Jinmu escorted the young king to the outside of the door as he left his residence.
And at the place where King Yeong left, the Eunwidan’s Budanju Oemu brought Wi Jeong-pil and the crown prince.
“Now, this is the beginning. Great Taegam and His Highness will also have to prepare their hearts.”
“….”
Jinmu smiled brightly, but the Crown Prince and Wi Jeong-pil did not look bright as if they were uncomfortable.
“why? Is there something wrong?”
“Jimmu Dojo.”
“yes?”
Jinmu tilted his head with a puzzled expression at Wi Jeong-pil’s heavy call.
“Are you planning to put Your Highness in the forefront of the Daejon meeting?”
“Of course…”
Wi Jeong-pil’s face hardened before he could finish his answer.
Not to mention the prince’s face.
Why are these things suddenly like this?
Isn’t it normal to have to dance for joy when you can get rid of the gwibi who were aiming for your life?
“I heard that the deaths of the deceased princes have been revealed to me at Jinmu Dojo.”
“…”
“It is clear that the nobles and the kingship were involved in all these deaths, as well as the power of the palace, so that alone cannot condemn them.”
“….”
“If necessary, I will even give you the information I have. If you wish, I will personally attend the Daejeon meeting and become a witness to reveal the guilt of the princess.”
How cool is the atmosphere?
Doesn’t it seem like Wi Jeong-pil is trying to convince himself?
“Do you know about Her Highness?”
“…”
Jinmu glanced at the crown prince at the expression and voice dripping with gloom.
“You are the one who had no choice but to run away even after witnessing the death of his mother. He is the one who has lived in that humid place for several years in order to survive.”
“…”
“A young king who is a noble uncle who seeks his life, but still tries to maintain his power. It’s as if Your Highness is only being used by them even up to this moment.”
“No, so the plan to punish them all now…”
Jinmu tried to calmly refute, but Wi Jung-pil smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Do you think they are everything?”
“…what?”
“The second and third kings and queens will appear. In the end, the Highness will be confined to the chicken coop called the imperial palace, waiting for the day she will die.”
“…”
What are you talking about?
So I’m going to sprinkle ashes on the finished rice. What are you talking about?
“I chose you not to put Your Highness on the throne.”
“….”
“Because I thought you would be able to take Your Highness to a place free.”
Jinmu’s expression cooled down at the sight of Wi Jeong-pil, who spoke as if begging beyond persuasion.
“His Highness wants it too. To escape from this desolate imperial palace where siblings, even parents, have to turn a blind eye…” ”
…”
“Please. Please take your highness with me. Help me to walk freely across the world, leaving the battlefields of those in power, where even blood relatives should be suspicious.”
Jinmu, who had been listening silently, shifted his gaze to the crown prince.
His skinny figure, which had not been able to eat properly, seemed even more dwarfed by the day.
Also, there was a fear of something in his eyes, not the light of the first meeting.
are of the same mind.
Well, if not, I should have been angry when Wi Jeong-pil said such a thing.
The position of a fetus.
A fate too harsh for a young boy who is only the same age as Yangjin.
i know i know
“You’re fucking.”
“…?”
Jinmu twitched his lips and spat out swear words, then looked at the crown prince, not Wi Jeong-pil, with his terrifyingly raised eyes.
“You want me to run away? You want to leave?”
“…”
“He’s a very damn rich man. If I’d known he was that kind of guy, I wouldn’t have had to bring him.”
“What is that?”
Wi Jeong-pil and the Crown Prince couldn’t hide their embarrassment at Jinmu’s sudden change of attitude.
“Hey, do you know how many people risk their lives on just one of you?”
