Chapter 602

Episode 602 Awakening (2)Unlike Lee Hyo, So Gong-hwi did not bring Hwang Byeong with him.

So Gong-hwi silently walked and stood in front of the main office and knelt down.

“I meet Your Majesty, So Gong-hwi, the Imperial Palace Chief.”

It was a calm tone.

Zhou Qing looked down at him with glaring eyes.

“I am the emperor! I have neither died nor handed over the throne, so how can I call this a situation!”

“The situation is ruined.”

“What?!”

“We have already served another emperor. No matter what the process was like, we have a lord who has pledged loyalty, so how can we serve His Majesty the Emperor as the master of the world?”

So Gong-hwi’s voice was so calm that it sounded peaceful.

“However, the process was not smooth and we also supported an improper transfer, so it can be said to be a grave sin that can only be paid for by death.”

“….”

“Your Majesty the situation.”

So Gong-hwi raised his head.

In front of the emperor of the world, raise your head upright and make eye contact. That alone could be considered a serious crime, but unexpectedly, Zhu Qing’s eyes looking down at Xiao Gonghui were much calmer than before.

“After His Majesty was kidnapped by a group of assailants, Sosin planned to commit suicide on the spot. But as a result, he was unable to do so. Do you know why?”

“….”

“As General Lee said, the excuse was that if we die, there will be no one left to guard the imperial palace.”

Lee Hyo’s face distorted.

“General So! How can you dismiss that as an excuse!”

“I am talking to His Majesty, so if General Lee has any intention of following even the bare minimum of etiquette, he should not dare to use his frivolous words.”

“profit!”

Lee Hyo’s face turned bright red.

So Gong-hwi continued.

“Although he abandoned his loyalty and his soul was burned, he served another Son of Heaven with his still-living body. To me, His Majesty will remain until the day he dies.”

“so.”

Zhou Qing growled like a wild beast.

“How did it feel to serve another Emperor along with traitors? Was it sweet?”

“Even though I committed high treason, it was only a failure to uphold the duty of a subject, and I did not abandon my conscience as a human being. I endured each day with a hellish feeling, but now that His Majesty Sang-tae has returned, I can finally let go of that burden and sinful heart. I will be punished for letting go.”

Zhou Qing’s eyes twinkled.

Slurp.

So Gong-hwi pulled out his sword.

It was also a serious crime to draw a sword in front of the emperor. Is it because I have already decided to die? He was neatly ignoring personal rules of etiquette.

So Gong-hwi put the drawn sword directly to his neck.

“As a general of the empire, it would be a pity to die without being able to see the imperial palace regain its former dignity, but I am truly fortunate to be able to meet Your Majesty now.”

“….”

“Please enjoy your heavenly life and let the world know that your empire is alive.”

The corners of Zhou Qing’s mouth rose.

At that moment, a ray of intangible wind was shot out.

puck!

“Pfft!”

So Gong-hwi dropped his sword without realizing it.

Jjiiiing.

I had no strength in both hands.

That wasn’t all. The wind that hit the back of the hand returned to the heart, paralyzing both arms and the entire upper body.

So Gong-hwi’s eyes wavered.

‘master?!’

Although it is not possible to learn this type of technique as a martial artist in the imperial palace, if you have achieved a high level, you can use it without learning anything else.

‘Great martial arts!’

It was a tremendous earthquake. Even though it was fired at this speed, it did not penetrate the hand, but penetrated into it, paralyzing the entire upper body. It was a truly remarkable operation.

“Interesting.”

Suddenly, Xi Liang appeared behind the provincial office.

So Gong-hwi and Lee Hyo were surprised.

‘Uh, when?’

It didn’t appear suddenly. From the looks of it, it seemed like he was behind His Majesty the situation the whole time.

However, the two did not recognize Seo-ryang until just before. This was because Seo-ryang deliberately killed his presence.

Seo-ryang looked at So Gong-hwi with admiring eyes.

“It seems like not just anyone can become a general in the empire. Isn’t that right, Emperor?”

Zhou Qing nodded.

“The general is the one who has to protect the powerless imperial palace until the very end. You can’t set up half-baked people.”

“Even though I made a mistake that deserved death, it would be difficult to search anywhere in the world to find a talented person like me.”

“It won’t be there at all.”

“Of course it is. If you have the strength and enough time, it won’t be too much of a shame if you die here.”

“The problem is that we don’t have enough energy and we don’t have enough time.”

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“They say that even if a rich man goes bankrupt, he will last for three generations. It may not be a fitting analogy, but there were indeed people in the imperial palace.”

So Gong-hwi and Lee Hyo looked at Seo-ryang with astonished eyes.

No matter how much the dignity of the imperial family has fallen to the ground, is there anyone who can talk so comfortably with His Majesty the Sanghaeng? It was truly an unprecedented sight.

Lee Hyo shouted.

“You bastard! What kind of disrespect are you to His Majesty? Even if you die with your limbs torn apart, you won’t be able to pay for all your sins!”

Xu Liang didn’t even bother to listen to him. His eyes were only focused on So Gong-hwi.

“Did you say General So?”

“…!”

“It’s just a matter of putting his life on the line. If the imperial palace wasn’t in this situation, no matter how powerful he was, it wouldn’t have stopped him from committing suicide.”

“…who are you.”

“me?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“He is the head of the organization you call the Demonic Cult.”

“Ma Demon Cult Lord?!”

“Demon Lord… I really don’t like the tone, but that’s okay.”

Lee Hyo jumped up.

“This guy! How could you, your Majesty, be the leader of a cult…!”

At that time, Zhu Qing shouted.

“Can’t you just shut up!”

The voice was more murderous than ever. Lee Hyo became completely mute.

Xu Liang continued.

“On the other hand, the other one is a petty person who is obsessed with making excuses even though he has committed wrongdoing. As you say, Emperor, such a person should not have been appointed as a general.”

“I think so too. To put a guy like that in the position of general, even though he is my son, he really has no discernment.”

“Huh? You’re saying you didn’t put him in the general’s position?”

“After the imperial palace lost power, the size of government offices was greatly reduced. How could they have appointed such a petty person as a general?”

“Hoo.”

“I heard that his martial arts skills were quite impressive, but at least he wasn’t a general until I lost my mind.”

Xiliang clicked his tongue.

“You mean, Zhou Tianyang, that guy was trying to plan the world with this kind of insight?”

Lee Hyo’s face distorted.

He was insulting me to his face, calling me a petty person. Even the imperial soldiers under his command were watching.

My pride is torn to pieces.

“This bastard…!”

This time too, Seoryang heard his swearing with one ear and ignored it. At least they would curse at me, but it wasn’t worth dealing with at all.

The so-called general of a country is loyal to his own interests and disobeys orders according to his own interests. This was already a mindset worse than that of a single soldier, let alone a general.

Xi Liang asked Zhou Qing.

“What are you going to do now?”

“What are we going to do? We have to drag them all out like we said before.”

“Well, I guess so.”

“Anyway, you really can’t go in there? These guys opened the door themselves and went out, but if the yellow soldiers inside the palace open the door…” “

You can’t go in.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“We didn’t just build a barrier. I don’t know what kind of technique it was, but we took measures to prevent anyone with demonic energy from entering the palace. In fact, even if I were Damsayoung, I would have done the same.”

“It seems like it was installed with you in mind.”

“I guess so.”

A deep regret appeared on Zhou Qing’s face.

“You really can’t go in there.”

This is the house I returned to after many years. But it was truly heartbreaking to not be able to enter even though the door was open.

“That’s why I kept telling you that you couldn’t go in. But if I let you in alone, you would definitely die, so let’s wait until later.”

“It did.”

“But there’s nothing to be too sorry about. There really isn’t much left.”

Zhou Qing nodded.

“Yes, I’ve endured it for years, but I wonder if I can’t endure it for just a few dozen days.”

“Good idea.”

It was then.

“All armies, listen!”

Lee Hyo shouted in a loud voice.

“It looks like the leader of that cult has used a hex on His Majesty Sang-tae! Everyone stand up and attack that evil bastard! We will save His Majesty Sang-tae!”

Zhu Qing chuckled as if it was absurd.

So Gong-hwi also looked at Lee Hyo with his mouth wide open. I had no idea that the author would make such nonsense.

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“That idiot doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about.”

“…That’s right.”

“The lord of the world, who received the heavenly fortune, has been put under a spell? It seems he only sees the emperor in that way.”

Lee Hyo hesitated for a moment.

When I thought about it, it was something that could sound really strange depending on how you interpreted it. Being caught up in the witchcraft of a xie jiao can be a statement that denigrates the dignity of the emperor, who is a child of heaven.

‘profit!’

But it was a step I took. Looking at the situation, it seemed like the senile old man was planning to kill himself while keeping So Gong-hwi alive.

‘How did you get up here!’

I can’t die in vain like this.

Lee Hyo shouted again.

“What are you doing? Draw your sword and kill the Demon Cult Lord right now!”

The yellow soldiers of Iman were embarrassed and did not know what to do. It is right to listen to the orders of Lee Hyo, the person in charge of command, but in front of us is His Majesty Sang-do. It is a place that should not be moved carelessly.

Lee Hyo’s face became distorted.

“You guys! Do you all want to die? I’m telling you to get up and kill the Demon Cult leader right now!”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“Interesting. If I really cast a hex on you, you should capture me instead. Why are you trying to kill me?”

“…?!”

“It looks like you plan to keep the emperor a slave to hexes for the rest of your life, right?”

“This guy!”

Zhu Qing waved his hand with an annoyed look on his face.

“Chairman Seo. I really hate hearing that guy whining.”

“Me too. However, if they even bring up yellow soldiers like that guy said, I plan to completely wipe them out.”

“What is the fault of those below? It’s all because they met an ugly leader.”

“If you really think so, I understand.”

Seoliang looked at Lee Hyo.

It was when Lee Hyo was about to swear again.

Grumbling.

Blue and red demonic energy surged from Xiliang’s eyes.

“Oops!”

The moment Lee Hyo saw those eyes, he immediately collapsed on the spot and vomited blood.

Just looking at the magic eye can cause severe internal injuries. It was truly enough to be called the state of a person with mental impressions.

Lee Hyo’s body trembled.

‘What?!’

The moment he looked into the demon’s eyes, he was so shocked that he almost lost his breath. The upper and middle divisions were shocked and even the lower divisions were shaken.

“Hey.”

Lee Hyo raised his head without realizing it.

Even though I knew I shouldn’t, I automatically raised my head. It was not of his own will.

‘omg!!’

And the moment he met Seoryang’s eyes again, Lee Hyo’s bottoms became damp.

Xu Liang smiled and raised his hand.

“If you are reborn in the afterlife, don’t live such a shameful life.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

“Kaaaaaaak!” Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The fire that rose from the ground engulfed Lee Hyo’s entire body.

Lee Hyo, who was being burned alive, wriggled a few times but soon became quiet. It was a futile and painful end.

“Sogonghwi.”

So Gong-hwi, who had been looking at Lee Hyo with astonished eyes, was startled and turned his gaze to Zhou Qing.

Zhu Qing said coldly.

“From today, you are the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army and the only general. At least until someone useful comes along.”

“…!!”

“Bring out all the remaining yellow soldiers.”
