Chapter 640

Episode 640 A story in the reign (15)“Oh my.”

Gong Yachi was always busy, but it was never as urgent as today.

To be precise, I was anxious. This was inevitable because the four men and women who came unexpectedly were rare masters who had built an unparalleled reputation even in the central plains of their time, and who exercised extreme influence in both the imperial palace and the martial arts world.

“I meet you, King Taejang.”

“Huh, it’s been a while.”

“yes. And…”

Gong Yachi smiled and looked at Yeo Kang-hwi.

“I heard that you are coming to the central plain, my lord. “I just didn’t expect you to come so soon.”

Yeo Kang-hwi stuck out his tongue.

“Let me ask you something. “What on earth happened to that information?”

“It’s an industry secret.”

“haha.”

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled empty-handedly.

Yeo Sang-rin smiled and lowered her head.

“It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“Branch Manager Yeo.”

Gong Yachi said in a calm voice.

“The reputation of being an ice skating goddess has been around for a long time. Congratulations.”

“What is this ice skating goddess?”

“If you think about it carefully, it’s not wrong. “Since Branch Manager Yeo has grown the Jungwon branch to such a large extent, isn’t it different from raising Binggung on a rock?”

Yeo Sang-rin twisted her body as if she was embarrassed. Yeo Kang-hwi saw that and pretended to vomit.

“And…”

Gong Yachi looked at Joo Seo-yoon with puzzled eyes.

“His Majesty the Sword King is here too?”

“That’s it.”

“If you have any business, why don’t you send a letter? “I would have gone to see it myself.”

Joo Seo-yoon shook his head.

“I didn’t come today for work.”

“yes?”

No matter how smart I was, it was difficult for me to understand the current situation.

“Please sit here for now.”

“Okay, shall we take a look?”

Song Geum-baek, sitting at the head of the table, wrinkled his nose.

“The tea scent is very nice. If I remember correctly, this is Yongjeong (龍井)?”

“That’s right.”

“I sold it. “I can’t believe you treated me to such an expensive dragon.”

“I am sorry to inform you, but in this position, there are often times when I have to treat people of high rank. “It’s very useful in times like that.”

“like now?”

“Yes, like now.”

Geum Baek burst into laughter.

“They say he is indeed the strongest man in the history of Hao Mun and a genius in both civil and martial arts, but the more you look at him, the more he is not ordinary.”

“I will take it as a compliment.”

“It’s a compliment. “I understand how the Heavenly Demon favored you so much.”

Gong Yachi smiled bitterly.

“He was too much for me. I still think about it sometimes. “Is this a dream or reality?”

“Why are you acting like Hao Wenju, the man who controlled the Kang Hao Three Dynasties by manipulating all kinds of information?”

Gong Yachi was embarrassed.

“You mean you were in control? These are difficult words to bear. I just…”

“Hehehe, it’s okay. “I just said it as a joke, so don’t worry too much about it.”

Song Geum-baek burst out laughing, wondering what was so fun.

I don’t know if it was because he had been staying in the imperial palace and then came out to the central plains, or because he was with people who had spent the last heyday of Wulin, but there was not a single trace of darkness on his face.

Gong Yachi looked at Joo Seo-yoon with curious eyes.

“By the way, if it wasn’t work-related, why did you come all the way to Ye?”

Joo Seo-yoon saw the remittance bag.

“Actually, I was just going to go. But His Majesty King Taejang said that he must stop by this place.”

“yes?”

Everyone looked at the remittance bag.

Seng Tongbaek quenched his thirst with a sip of tea and spoke in a relaxed tone.

“Originally, we were just going to go by ourselves. But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it makes sense to leave without you.”

“…?”

“I only said this half as a joke, but in reality, if it weren’t for you, the Heavenly Demon wouldn’t be where it is today. “Even if we were lucky enough to have built up the military power we have now, it would have been difficult to reach a situation where the Heavenly Demon Church dominates the central plains.”

“That’s…”

“There’s no need to say no. Because it is a clear fact. “If Hao Mun hadn’t helped, Sanghyeolseong wouldn’t have suffered such a ridiculous situation in the past.”

Discussing the iron-blooded nature of the past.

For Song Sang-baek, Cheolhyeolseong was his hometown, his clan, and the country he ruled. Of course he couldn’t help but feel upset, but his face was filled with smiles even as he said that Sanghyeongseong had suffered.

The bowl of Suraje Sanggeumbaek, who was considered the strongest in the martial arts world and who had shaken off all worries, was so large.

“In other words, to the Heavenly Demon, you are probably someone he wants to see often.”

Gong Yachi said with an awkward expression.

“Since you said that, I don’t know where to put my body… hmm?!”

His eyes widened as if they were torn apart.

“So, the four of you are on your way to the Heavenly Demon Church right now?”

“Not four.”

Yeo Kang-hwi pointed at Gong Yachi with a humorous expression.

“Five.”

“Oops!”

Gong Yachi let out a sharp cough.

“I… no, me too and His Majesty the King of Swords…?”

Joo Seo-yoon shook his head.

“I was also worried because Hubei caught my eye.”

Song Zhengbaek chuckled.

“It was very short-lived.”

“…Anyway.”

“Khaha!”

Joo Seo-yoon cleared her throat and said.

“Why don’t you think of it as a temporary vacation and go to Heavenly Demon Church for the first time in a while?”

“…haha.”

Gong Yachi laughed awkwardly.

“I really want to go, but there isn’t a lot of work to do. “If His Majesty the King of Swords leaves, I will have to protect this place even more.”

“How about emergency survival measures?”

“Yes?!”

Gong Yachi opened his mouth.

“You’re saying that emergency life-sustaining measures are being taken for something like this, not something else?”

“…I guess that’s a bit like that.”

Joo Seo-yoon scratched her head as if embarrassed.

Yeo Kang-hwi asked.

“What is emergency life?”

“In the unlikely event that His Majesty the King of Swords and one of us are absent for a long period of time due to unavoidable circumstances, this is a measure to stabilize the livelihood of the people of Hubei with only the officials under their command.”

“Yes?”

“To put it simply, it means a ‘take action first and then report’ type of work. Of course, that’s not all. Now that the leaders are gone, more stringent responsibility is required from the officials under them. The resulting complications….”

“So, to put it simply, it is a safety measure for the people’s livelihood in case the representative officials of Hubei are not present?”

“…That’s right.”

“You can do it, right?”

Gong Yachi opened his mouth.

“Emergency life insurance should not be used unless it is truly unavoidable. If you make a mistake, you could end up in chaos in the management system…!”

At that time, Song Zhengbaek said.

“This person agrees with what Princess Ye said.”

“His Royal Highness King Taejang.”

“We created this emergency life plan, but we’ve never used it until now, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“If you do, you can try writing it now. “I will also test how the officials under my command move.”

Gong Yachi said with a serious face.

“This is something that could threaten the safety of people’s lives. “We cannot do something that could threaten the safety of people’s lives just to check the system.”

“That’s not it.”

Gong Yachi’s eyes widened at Joo Seo-yoon’s words.

She said calmly.

“You’re absolutely confident that’s why you finalized that plan a year ago, right?”

“Wow! That’s true, but this is a different kind of problem…!”

“I’m sorry for seeming like I’m being mean-spirited. But I am confident. “I am confident that the people’s livelihood will not be shaken.”

“His Majesty the Sword King.”

“Also, I told you before that although we are representatives of Hubei officials, the problem is that we consider ourselves too important, right?”

“…!”

“That’s why we placed responsible and good-natured officials under our command rather than those with outstanding abilities.”

“…That’s right.”

“Honestly, that part bothered me too. But we can’t stay where we are forever. “How about taking this opportunity to check if emergency life is working properly?”

Gong Yachi sighed. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In any case, the owner of Hubuk was Joo Seo-yoon. Even though she said this, it was not her duty to continue to refuse.

furthermore.

‘Because it’s not entirely wrong.’

At that time, Geum Baek quietly intervened.

“In other words, the imperial court is also preparing a policy to allow the heads of each province to examine the politics and people’s lives of other regions for a certain period of time. “It can be an exchange between officials and let them learn what they can from each other.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, there are many different opinions regarding the effectiveness of that policy, but all policies in the world are like a double-edged sword. “Depending on how you use it, it can be either medicine or poison.”

“Hmm.”

“Why not take this opportunity to visit other regions and broaden your horizons? “Now that we have stabilized Hubei to this extent, shouldn’t we escape from reality and look to the future?”

Zhong Zheng Baek’s words were decisive.

In the end, Gong Yachi smiled awkwardly and said.

“I understand since you really said that. “I will join you in this journey to the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“Hehehe, I thought well. “The Heavenly Demon will be very pleased.”

Satisfied smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

“Previously.”

“Ugh?”

“I have to resolve one thing and then go.”

Gong Yachi’s eyes flashed fiercely for a moment.

“Now that the experts representing the central region are here, I would like to ask for a little help. “I was already planning to submit a report to His Majesty the King of Swords today.”

“What is it about?”

Gong Yachi took out an official document and handed it to Joo Seo-yoon.

A bloody aura emanated from Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes.

“I guess I’ll just have to settle this and go.”

* * *

“Gasp!”

Breathing doesn’t come back.

‘Unbelievable.’

Neungjeokban’s eyes wavered.

‘The leader of a single combat unit is that strong?!’

He couldn’t believe it.

Even after the war that decided the fate of the Central Plains ended five years ago, the Neungjeokban were unable to go out into the world. The reason is because he suffered a very serious injury.

He still remembered. An enormous range of thunderbolts and flames covered the skies of Iron Blood Castle.

Surprisingly, the thunder fire even contained an ice power that could never be mixed. The martial arts of the Demon God, which swept away the earth due to the combination of energies that could not coexist, could only be explained by saying that it was truly the supernatural ability of a god.

And that god’s supernatural ability could not be avoided even by the fleeing enemy class.

The good news is that because the distance has decreased, the power of the ice thunder has also weakened significantly.

I was hit by three weakened ice lightning and was on the brink of death. And the internal injuries I suffered back then are still not fully healed.

However, no matter how weak his body was, he had a reputation as one of the top ten masters of the past. Even if the Shaolin leader threatened to kill him, he was confident that he could kill him within twenty seconds.

In other words, the commander of the combat unit that fought him was also an absolute expert who reached the rank of Hwagyeong or Geumma.

‘Damn bitch! All of them from the Demonic Cult…!’

It was then.

“Hoo.”

Neungjeokban felt like his hair was being flushed.

“I understand why you asked us for help. “I never thought I would see the face I miss like this.”

Under the pouring moonlight.

The Neungjeokban was able to face five Shinigami.

In the center of the group of reapers, a middle-aged man dressed in fancy silk clothes laughed viciously.

“It’s been a while, King Myeong.”

Neungjeokban said in a trembling voice.

“…remittance bag.”
