The assassination team to kill the emperor looked at the burning Mangi Palace.

“Ugh!”

“It’s fire!”

“Damn it, what kind of crazy person!”

The eunuchs and court ladies who had been dispatched to Mangi Palace to attend to the emperor came out screaming.

They were running frantically towards the river.

People scatter like ants to extinguish the fire.

And the emperor and her new mistress, katydid, who are still nowhere to be seen.

‘It really went as planned.’

Yeomrak once again admired Jo Go and Isa.

Jo Go and Isa predicted that the Emperor and Yeochi would not be able to move quickly even if a fire broke out.

It is said that the emperor would rather hang around near Mangyi Palace waiting for the fire to evolve than to run away in a hurry and be exposed to an unexpected threat.

Although she was a rampaging emperor with paranoia and an inflated ego, she also inherited the fear of assassination from her father.

I would rather get burned than risk being assassinated.

That was the emperor that Jo Gao and Isa had analyzed, and their predictions were clearly correct.

“Now.”

Yeomrak said.

When Jo Go and Isa nodded, Yeomrak swung his sword sharply.

“Charge! Let’s kill the tyrant!”

“Wow!”

The soldiers charged with loud shouts.

No one among them was truly grateful for the cause of killing a tyrant, but the feeling that their pockets would become fat after this incident swelled their courage.

The soldiers rushed towards Mangi Palace with full of courage.

“Kill!”

“Where are you, Emperor!”

Kwaang-!

The soldiers violently broke down the gate, which was still closed, and entered Mangi Palace.

“Aaaagh!”

“Da, who are you!”

The ministers who remained in Mangi Palace and assisted the emperor shouted in panic, but the soldiers did not respond.

Sigh!

They just cut off the heads of the monks and searched frantically for the emperor.

Sensing something strange, the eunuchs and court ladies stopped running to the river and returned to Mangi Palace.

“These guys!”

It could truly be said to be a virtual loyalty.

They fought to protect the emperor with their bare hands or swinging buckets and sticks.

“Heung!”

However, loyalty without power is worthless.

The soldiers slaughtered them in an instant, staining their bodies with blood.

“Come out, emperor!”

The soldiers shouted, blood forming in their necks.

He looked around with curious eyes, waved his arms like an animal, and wandered around the burning Mangi Palace.

However, no matter how much time passed, there was no sign of the emperor.

“…Something is strange, Seungsang.”

Jo Go whispered to Isa.

“…”

Crack!

The director gritted his teeth.

Something strange was going on.

Even though I was already searching Mangi Palace like catching a rat, there was no sign of the emperor.

Unless the emperor burned to death in that fire, this made no sense.

‘No, maybe…!’

The director belatedly remembered another possibility.

“Was this all a deception!”

The director hurriedly opened his mouth.

“Everyone run away! Run away! This is a trap!”

At the director’s shout, Yeomrak opened his eyes wide and asked.

“Seung-sang, what do you mean by that? A trap?”

“…”

The director almost cursed out of impatience, but suppressed the curse with superhuman self-control.

It wasn’t good to be in unnecessary conflict right now.

“The emperor was not here to begin with. All of this is a deception. We need to run away right now…”

“Kahahahaha!”

The sound of laughter coming from overhead.

‘…You’re late.’

The director lost strength in his back and sat down.

Hohae was looking down at the rebels from the hill, his eyes sparkling.

“Yeochi was right. They said that those who dare to assassinate me would move. Haha, Yeochi is truly a loyal subject for eternity!”

Hohae burst out in a frivolous laugh that was unbecoming of an emperor.

“I am ashamed, Your Majesty.”

Yeochi smiled cautiously and stood next to Hohae.

“Hehe, what should I do with those weightlifters?”

Hohae said.

Yeochi, who knew that wasn’t a question, simply lowered her head and answered.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

“Kahahahaha!”

Hohae burst into frivolous laughter again.

“It’s right, it’s right! That’s the way of burden. Doing what you want is your way!”

“Damn it!”

Yeomrak swore.

“Get rid of all traps and all! Soldiers, listen! Cut off that tyrant’s head right away! I will give 10,000 gold to the person who cuts off that tyrant’s head!”

Yeomrak’s conducting experience shone through at this time.

The best way to get soldiers out of confusion is a carrot.

No matter how timid an army is, if there is gold on the line, they will bravely rush to the castle walls.

“Yeah, fuck! If you die once, die twice!”

“Let’s kill the tyrant and expand our lives!”

The soldiers gathered their fighting spirit again and charged towards the emperor.

“Heung!”

Looking down at them, the emperor snorted.

“Ruthless weightlifters.”

Sigh!

Hohae snapped his fingers.

Following Hohae’s command, the shaman came out and lowered the huge jar.

Sigh-

Cloudy smoke writhing from the mouth of the jar.

It poured down on the soldiers,

A tragedy occurred.

“Kahahahaha!”

Hohae was happy to see that.

They clapped their hands and were happy.

When the smoke cleared, not a single one of the humans below the hill survived.

Soldiers, court ladies, and eunuchs.

Yeomrakdo, Isado, Jogodo.

All humans were killed in such a horrendous manner that we couldn’t even bear to see them.

“Did you see it, weightlifters! This is the power of Jim! It’s Jim’s art! It’s the essence of Jim! No one who dares to challenge Jim will survive!”

Hohae went wild with a sense of power.

Looking at that scene, Yeochi smiled softly.

‘Everything is ready.’

Yechi narrowed her eyes and covered her mouth as she looked at the horizon.

‘Welcome, sir.’

Yeochi blushed as she remembered Yugye’s face.

‘There is a throne prepared for you.’

Yeochi laughed.

*****

“You want to go alone? Why?”

Woongshim asked in a puzzled voice.

“Why are you doing this, loser? I’m going to go to Hamyang alone. Isn’t it too dangerous? If we lead an army and everything will be ours, then why are you in such a hurry?”

Woongshim lost his composure and spoke in a cold sweat.

“Okay, why are you doing that? Yugye, that’s not like you.”

Zhang Liang also said that, unable to hide his embarrassment.

But Yugye only slowly shook his head.

“I have to go.”

Yugye said:

“I have to go.”

“So!”

Woongshim shouted, pounding his chest in frustration.

“Aren’t you asking me to tell you the reason? I can’t let you go unless there’s a good reason!”

“…”

Yugye sighed.

I also wanted to explain the bounds.

Yeochira wanted to explain in detail the cruelty and madness of humans and let them know about the dangers.

That woman is truly crazy.

Now that that crazy bitch has entered Hamyang, I don’t know what she’ll do there, so I have to go and stop her, even if it’s just by myself.

A letter sent by the eunuch Cao Gao. The moment I found out about Yeochi’s whereabouts there, I had the feeling that ‘If I don’t stop this bitch right away, something big will happen.’

I wanted to say that.

‘But I can’t believe it.’

But who would believe these words?

What on earth can a father and daughter from a single family, especially those who have no foundation since they have been active in the vicinity of Chu, do anything in Xianyang?

It was also difficult for Yu-gye to come up with a clear explanation for his anxiety.

Maybe he fell into paranoia after seeing Jo Seo-rin’s tragedy, and that’s why he overestimated Yeochi’s abilities.

‘But I don’t think that’s the case. ‘I don’t feel well.’

A reason that makes no sense even if you think about it yourself.

The explanation is, ‘If you don’t feel well, something bad will happen.’

Who would believe such a thing?

‘But the bitch I saw was a bitch who wouldn’t hesitate to do anything, no matter how terrible it was. ‘I have to stop that bitch before she throws away her plan.’

Yugye concluded that.

“I have to go.”

“…Could it be because of something that happened not long ago?”

Woongshim asked, frowning.

“You don’t have to worry. It’s no big deal, right? Just take your time and talk slowly…”

“No.”

Yoo-gye looked straight into Woong-shim’s face and said.

“That’s not it.”

Woongshim closed his mouth with an expression that still did not clear his doubts.

“…We must go there to prevent disaster from coming.”

Yugye sighed and revealed part of his inner thoughts.

“This is to prevent the crazy things that bitch named Yeochi will do.”

“…”

Woongshim and Jangryang’s expressions became distorted.

As Yu-gye guessed, they couldn’t immediately trust Yu-gye’s ‘feeling’.

“…Even if Yugye goes alone, what can you change?”

Zhang Liang pointed out in a cold voice.

“Yugye does not have the power like Haengjeok or Beongwae, nor does he have the resourcefulness like me. I don’t even have noble bloodlines like your highness. If Yugye were to abandon the military and go there alone, he would be nothing more than a mere mortal. Even if Yugye’s intentions are true, it is impossible to stop them.”

Zhang Liang’s point was correct.

‘yes. How can I prevent disaster? Let’s ignore the shortcomings and move with the army. That’s the right answer.’

Yugye fell into that temptation.

If it had not been for the one letter Yu-gye received, Yu-gye would have made that choice without hesitation.

However, Yugye could not help but think of another piece of bamboo delivered to him.

This letter is too uncomfortable to interpret directly.

This incited anxiety in the world.

‘…If the sacrifice this crazy bitch is talking about is a human being.’

then.

If you don’t move now and catch that crazy bitch, blood will be shed in vain.

“…I have to go.”

Yugye was never an apostle of justice.

He was not a savior who sacrificed himself to pursue what was right.

However, Yoo-gye was a more humane person than anyone else.

He wanted to live like a human being, to be proud, and above all.

‘To stand upright in front of the wake.’

I didn’t want to turn a blind eye to my own conscience and turn a deaf ear to my anxiety.

If it is true that Yeochi’s crazy act means the massacre of tens of thousands of people, and if it happens as a result of her ignoring it, Yugye will never be able to stand proud in front of the enemy.

That was a person named Yoo-gye.

That was who he wanted to be before his beloved.

“…”

That’s why the world moved.

A dark night with thick clouds.

Through the thick darkness, where even the night bugs were holding their breath, Yugye rode on horseback and began to run.
