Part 2 Episode 71
Wind lamp
Zhao raised his head and looked up at the sky.
The stars densely embedded in the black canvas of the night shone so brightly that it hurt my eyes.
But there was another place that really hurt.
It was the whole body except the eyes.
‘Ugh. ‘My bones are numb.’
I wore armor as advised by Jeong Gwang, and since the Geumwiwi officers had limited use of internal weapons, I did not suffer any major injuries, but I could not help but feel pain.
What kind of person are you if you don’t feel pain even though you’re constantly being beaten?
It is a monster that has reached the level of golden Buddha, which is only told in legend.
‘No. If it’s Cheolwol, it might be okay.’
Cheolwol had a strong brain, so it seemed like he wouldn’t feel any pain from this level of beating.
‘Whoa. This is not the time to think such useless thoughts.’
Zhao lowered his head and looked straight ahead.
In the training hall, which was brightly lit with numerous bonfires, the Gold Council officers holding wooden swords and swords were lined up in an orderly manner.
And Jeong Gwang, at the end of them, raised his hand and waved it high.
“Okay! what are you doing? “Let’s start again.”
“… … Yes, sobriety.”
Zhao trudged into the Jingui Guard’s eight formations, the pride of the Jingui Committee.
‘I’m really going crazy.’
Why is my heart so heavy, unlike when I went in with a scam saying I had to start a family?
Still, I showed my respect like I did then.
The reaction of the Gold Council officers was completely different from before.
“… … Excuse me.”
“It will hurt more this time.”
“… … “You’ve been through a lot.”
“No need to worry. “You will suffer more.”
“… … .”
Cheonmanghoehoe (天網恢恢) Soibulu (疎而不漏).
Did they say that the net in the sky may seem sloppy, but you can never escape it?
If you do evil, you will get paid for it someday.
Now was the time.
Zhao, who was walking shakily with a white face, arrived in front of Zheng Guang, who was sitting on a chair as the emperor’s substitute.
“Sobriety. came.”
“wait a minute. “I’ll make a few adjustments and get started.”
Jeong Gwang recommended it to some of the members of the Geumwiui Committee.
“Jang Cheonho. Let’s go to Samsung, not Lee Sung. Yoo Baekho was raised to four surnames… … .”
Zhao’s once pale complexion turned dark and dead.
‘Well, you’re raising the level of internal resistance that was limited? ‘I’m still dying right now?’
On the contrary, smiles bloomed on the faces of the armed forces.
“haha! “I understand!”
“Let’s hurry! “We are ready!”
Zhao was not yet ready to cross the Three Paths.
“All right, sober. “It’s impossible to go any further.”
“yes?”
“What if you raise the limit on what is still being tolerated? Is it because I did something wrong? Then, instead of persecuting like this, it would be better for you to solve the problem with the word… … .”
Zhao, who was moving his mouth at a blinding speed, could not help but trail off.
It was because Jeong Gwang’s eyes were so heavy.
“Okay.”
“yes yes! Sober!”
“Don’t say the word ‘unreasonable’ carelessly. Why do you set limits for yourself?”
“S-sorry.”
“Don’t apologize to me. You have to do it to yourself.”
“… … .”
“You can definitely do whatever you want. “I believe so.”
Heat rose in Zhao’s eyes.
“Thank you for your trust. “I will live up to Danju’s expectations.”
“Then let’s begin.”
“yes! Sober!”
Zhao pretended to stab Jeong Gwang in the neck with a dagger.
The commander standing next to Jeong Gwang shouted with an expressionless face.
“He’s an assassin!”
At the same time, Zhao’s new form disappeared.
The situation assumes that the assassin somehow approaches the emperor, attacks him, and then flees.
The Gold Council officers turned on their eyes and looked for Zhao.
‘You’re still hiding so well!’
‘Where are you this time!’
Soldiers who cannot use their usual abilities are looking everywhere.

The commander who was watching shouted.
“Jang Cheon-ho! “The previous three treasures!”
“insect!”
Jang Cheon-ho, who was called, cut the air in front of the Three Jewels with a wooden sword.
Bye!
“Tsk!”
The air opened and Zhao tumbled down.
The soldiers around him came and trampled on Zhao.
“You villain!”
“die!”
“omg! has disappeared!”
“There it is! “Hurry and catch it!”
Zheng Guang shook his head as he looked at Zhao, who was beaten while making a desperate escape.
“Was it too much?”
The commander asked calmly.
“Why did you say you could definitely do it?”
Jeong Gwang shrugged his shoulders.
“I am a Taoist monk, not a fortune teller.”
“The word ‘guru’ sounds more awkward. “I’d rather be a fortune teller.”
“oh. He’s running away again. “It’s just a matter of course.”
“hmm. One will is praiseworthy. “But it’s too weak.”
“But it’s better than nothing. Since we have limited the inner strength of the members of the Geumuiui Committee, their current response will feel similar to that of most of the Ten Elders.”
The commander crossed his arms.
“I am saying this because even if the true Ten Masters come, they cannot escape from the Golden Guardian Eight Line. “It won’t be easy for you either.”
The current Jinui Guardian Paljin is one of the eight Jinjin that Jeong Gwang had penetrated, and it was not a camp that was spread out in a loose manner, but a complete one.
“Yes, of course.”
“But why are you training like this?”
“Because the opponent may not just be a master but a great assassin.”
“So you’ve given up trying to block access and just catch them when they can escape?”
“yes. “If the opponent is that sneaky, even powerful people like Commander, Byeongpil Tae-gam, and Commander Eorim-gun will notice it only before something happens.”
“What does it mean to tell your subordinates to tell you the author’s location?”
“The assassin is so strong that even if he harmed the Emperor, he would not be able to safely escape from the hands of the three of you. “He must have been injured, so the commanding officer will be able to sense his presence and notify others.”
The commander nodded slightly.
“That makes sense. However, if that were the case, just one or two of us would be able to catch him. “There’s no need to make this mess.”
“no. You three are not allowed to move from here. “There might be another way to live.”
The commander frowned.
“You’re assuming that much? “Isn’t that too much?”
“It is often said that too much is too little, but in this case, too much is definitely better. “It’s about protecting Daemyung’s orthodoxy.”
“… … .”
The commander could not raise a counterargument.
Isn’t it so important to protect the emperor, crown prince, and grandson?
“I made a mistake. You are right. “But I have a question.”
The commander stared intently into the light.
“It seems like there is something to be said about the killing.”
Jeong Gwang tilted his head.
“It’s not like that, but we should at least catch the Dark King. “He could be an expert from the squadron.”
“… … .”
The commander was about to ask again when Jeong Gwang, who was watching the movements of the armed forces, shouted.
“Just stop!”
Although it was not extremely loud, the soldiers stiffened like stone statues at Jeong Gwang’s words, which were full of majesty.
A strange look appeared in the commander’s eyes.
Jeonggwang stopped the camp for the first time.
“Did you find anything to fix in the Golden Guardian Eight Jin?”
“There is no perfect Jin in the world. “This is good enough.”
“Then why?”
Zheng Guang pointed to Zhao, who was lying on the floor and writhing.
“Because Gak-eung is about to die.”
“… … .”
Jeong Gwang turned his gaze away from the commander and looked around at the officers.
“How are you? Was it worth it?”
The officers, who were looking refreshed yet somewhat disappointed, hardened their faces at Jeong Gwang’s next words.
“The gin is good, but the management is a bit lacking.”
“… … .”
“I hope tomorrow will be better.”
“… … .”
The soldiers’ eyes burned with fighting spirit.
Jeong Gwang greeted them and greeted the commander.
“good night.”
“… … They said they would revise the Manchurian vigilance plan. “When are you going to do that?”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“Tomorrow. When you enter the palace in the morning, would you please come to Danbon Palace? “I will tell you after I meet the Emperor together with the commander.”
The commander glared at the beam and opened his mouth.
“I look forward to it just as much as you look forward to it.”
“haha. You won’t be disappointed. “Maybe.”
After returning to Danbon Palace, Zheng Guang helped Zhao and applied the salve he had made to Zhao, who was covered in bruises.
“Wow. Sorry, sorry. “I can’t believe I put Danju through this trouble.”
“no. Please be patient. “I’ll treat you right away.”
Give me a bottle and give me medicine.
The effect of the salve was amazing.
Add to that the questioning and blood, and Zhao’s details quickly improved.
Zheng Guang patted Zhao on the shoulder and gritted his teeth.
“You look like the damn old king of cancer. What kind of trouble is Zhao going through because of him? “I just can’t forgive him.”
Zhao didn’t know what to say, so he moved his lips several times and finally managed to spit it out.
“Well, that’s right.”
“I will make sure to repay this debt. How about that? Was it worth it?”
It’s totally worth it.
Didn’t I almost die?
Zhao trembled.
“Well, I’m not good enough so stop… … .”
“hmm. “Then it would be difficult.”
As Zheng Guang muttered while rubbing his chin, Zhao asked cautiously.
“Sobriety. “Did you give me the role of an assassin to raise the fighting spirit of the Gold Armed Forces?”
If that was really the reason, I would go to great lengths and beg you to save my life.
That wasn’t Jeong Gwang’s intention.
“That’s a small reason. “I wanted to find out in advance through Zao how the Dark King would move in case he escaped.”
Zhao, who was confused, asked with a curious look on his face.
“That means… … ?”
“Zhao is a disciple of the Spiritual Humanities School.”
Zhao jumped up.
“We have only laid the foundation.”
“That’s enough.”
“… … “I am not a genius like Danju.”
Jeong Gwang looked with a straight face.
“Any art in the world has its essence dissolved in its foundation. Think simple. If you were a disciple of Yeonginmun, what path would you take if you were trapped in the Eight Guards of Gold? What method will I use to escape and where will I go? “Things like that.”
“ah!”
“If you are Zhao, you can think and act like him.”
“… … .”
Zhao’s eyes sank deeply.
‘I feel like I know something, but I don’t know. ‘Is this really something I can do?’
I’m shaking because I’m not sure.
The concentration boosted morale.
“What I said earlier at the training hall was only half-joking, but this time it’s true.”
“… … thank you.”
“It’s late at night, so let’s go back to the house. See you tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, sobriety.”
After Zhao left, Zheng Guang was left alone to gather his thoughts.
‘If Miryak, Myeonggyo, and the King of Darkness had brains, they wouldn’t miss All Saints’ Day.’
Isn’t this a chance for a genius to eliminate the three generations at once and swallow up Daemyung?
‘We must not only stop the sneak attack, but also catch the evil beast. ‘Everyone, without leaving anyone out.’
However, there were too many uncertainties.
I didn’t have enough hands.
‘Zhao needs to do his part.’
Zheng Guang trusted Zhao.
* * *
The next morning.
Zhao, with a pale complexion, appeared with squinted eyes.
“Sobriety. hello.”
“… … “Didn’t you sleep?”
“After much thought, it came to that.”
Jeong Gwang inwardly shook his head.
‘It’s open, it’s open.’
I wonder if I can come with my eyes sparkling, but what can I expect?
At that time, Zhao’s eyes brightened.
“I don’t know yet, but I will definitely find out.”
“… … Jao. “My body is leaning to the left.”
“Huh! Haaap! “It’s okay now.”
“… … no. Eat breakfast and get some sleep. No. Just sleep now. “I’ll wake you up when the time comes.”
Zheng Guang pointed out Zhao’s blood transfusion and then went to Huang Tai-sun.
“Lowering. Good morning?”
“haha. I slept well thanks to you. But why are you alone today?”
Now that I think about it, Hyejin hasn’t come either.
It was clear that he had spent the night in deeper trouble than Zhao.
‘hmm. If he doesn’t come in the evening, let’s go to Man’an Palace and check.’
After giving a brief look around, Jeong Gwang began his mission.
“oh. It’s delicious. “There is no problem, so please eat it, sir.”
“haha. Thank you for your hard work today. “Then let’s listen.”
Taeson Hwang originally did not have a good appetite, but after eating with Jeong Gwang for a few days, his portion size increased considerably.
But at best, it’s at the level of an average person.
Jeong Gwang patted his stomach after eating more than twice as much as Hwang Tae-son.
“It’s good. “It’s a good thing you came to the imperial palace.”
“Hahaha. I’ll prepare more than this, so come anytime. “It’s better if you sit down.”
Jeong Gwang grinned at Hwang Tae-son’s joke.
“First, let’s save your life.”
Hwang Tae-son’s expression hardened.
“Have you found out anything?”
“It’s not like that. “I have something to say to you and the Emperor today.”
Just then, the commanding officer of the Geumuiui came.
Jeong Gwang got up from his ass and asked Hwang Tae-son.
“Let’s go together.”
“… … “Let’s do that.”
The three went to Geoncheonggung (乾淸宮) and had an audience with the emperor.
Jeong Gwang clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘It kept getting worse and now it’s like a light in the wind. If this continues, won’t I die before All Saints’ Day?’
I can’t believe it’s like that even though I’m receiving help from Byeongpiltaegam.
First, the Crown Prince offered his greetings and the commander fell to the floor and hit his head.
“your majesty! Jinyukryong won! Please kill God!”
Of course, the emperor did not kill the commander.
Rather, after comforting him with dignity, he gave orders to Jeong Gwang.
“I entrust you with guarding All Saints’ Day.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“So, how do you plan to change it?”
“I heard that this Mansujeol will be held simply at Geunsinjeon, not Bongcheonjeon. Right?”
The military officers, who had sad expressions, rolled their eyes, but Jeong Gwang remained calm.
So did the emperor.
“Yes. Do you have compound eyes?”
Jeong Gwang asked in reverse.
“your majesty. Can we ignore etiquette? Because life is more important.”
