episode_0158

How long had it been since Su-hyeon, who was tilting his head as if something was strange, left the barracks? Jojo, who was organizing the things scattered on the table with an expression that was not much different from his usual expression, just slid down onto the desk.

“Pihuuu-”

The sound as if my heart had relaxed was a bonus.

‘Anyway, it’s really…’

It makes you unable to let down your guard…

If you suddenly say something like that, you can’t help but be embarrassed…!

My face felt hot.

No, it was hot beyond the burning level.

Even if you sit in front of a roaring fire, your face won’t get this hot.

I know it’s a shameless thing to do, but that’s why I pressed my cheek against the data table nonetheless.

My face was so hot that I felt like I had to borrow the power of the coolness on the surface of the data table. It felt like if I didn’t cool my cheeks down quickly, they would remain red and flushed forever.

The reason I couldn’t stop laughing even as I tried to calm my flushed face was because the words Su-hyeon left behind kept echoing in my head.

-Oh, that? I told you not to dream about it because the rest of your life belongs to you.

rani!

If I were to bring any word that exists in the world, it would not be sweeter than that.

Su-hyeon even said those words with a nonchalant expression.

What does that mean?

It’s not just something made up; it means that you truly think that way.

So… my face felt even hotter.

‘Ugh… really…!’

That’s why I was even more worried.

Isn’t it because he casually spits out words that can make a woman’s heart pound the moment she hears them, so she keeps getting tricked?

The same thing happened to that arrogant kid who was wondering whether it was equipment or maintenance.

One of my favorite parts was Soohyun’s kindness and not hesitating to extend her hand to someone she met for the first time, but since she was so nice to a kid she was meeting for the first time, she was told to come over to them.

That alone made my stomach churn, so much so that it was hard to bear it, but what was even more irritating was the behavior of the woman with peach-colored hair who introduced herself as a descendant of King Jeungsanjeong and all that.

‘So the name is…’

Did you say Yubi?

To be honest, I thought the name kidnapped (breast monster) suited him better than the name Yubi, but I was able to figure it out after talking to him a few words.

Despite her seemingly carefree behavior and innocent and harmless appearance, she is a dark-hearted woman.

This was the case when he claimed to be a descendant of King Jungsanjeong and implicitly revealed that he had noble blood flowing through his body.

‘When I think of those arrowhead-like ears, it seems true that royal blood flows…’

Even so, in the end, he probably comes from a family that is very Korean-American.

To be honest, this is inevitable because King Jungsanjeong, that is, Yoo Seung, is said to have loved playing and was very creative, and the number of sons and grandsons alone exceeded 120.

Taking care of those who are not the eldest son separately is only possible when there are one or two people, but at that point, it is impossible to take care of them even if you want to.

Therefore, it was highly likely that most of them did not inherit any proper property and were driven out onto the streets.

Nevertheless, you claim to be a descendant of Yu Seung?

This means that there is nothing else that can be said about it.

Even though that is the reality, looking at his actions, he acts as if he has inherited the direct line from the King of Jungsan Jeong… If that is not a shame, what is it?

On top of that, he was lucky enough to be born with an eye for recognizing talented people, so he’s playing tricks on Soo-hyeon.

What if there was a minimum of shame in that woman named Yubi?

As soon as the little boy named Jang Ki made such a remark against Su-hyeon, his face would turn pale and he would bow his head in this direction.

But instead of just waiting and waiting, she ends up putting her unbelievably vulgar breasts on the table and trying to be a beautiful woman, something that doesn’t work against Su-hyeon.

The abomination was beyond words.

The problem was that that woman named Liu Bei was only the beginning.

The fact that the imperial family’s control over the world had fallen to the ground due to the uprising caused by the people with the Yellow Turban on their heads was revealed to the entire world, so ambitious people who had been paying attention to their benefactors to keep an eye on the imperial family took this opportunity to stretch themselves. Because I’m going to start unfolding.

‘People call the current era a turbulent age, but…’

Her thoughts were a bit different.

Because in her opinion, the true crisis had not yet arrived.

At the point when the imperial family, who had failed to subdue the Yellow Turbans with their own strength, appealed to nobles and feudal lords from all over for help, the military leaders were given the ‘justice’ to legally increase their private army.

The handle of the sword, which had been in the hands of the imperial family for a long time, was passed into the hands of military leaders for the first time.

Since ancient times, swords have a strange magical power, and once you hold them in your hand, you want to swing them.

However, the number of people holding the sword in their hands increased from one member of the imperial family to dozens…

Soon, the world will be engulfed in extreme chaos that cannot be compared to what it is now.

And what if that time comes?

Everyone’s eyes will turn red and they will try to attract at least one more so-called talented person to their side.

In such a situation, how many people would pay attention to Su-hyeon?

I felt dizzy just thinking about it.

So… sometimes I felt resentful of Su-hyeon.

It would have been nice if he had just been kind… but why does he have the ability and conditions to be coveted by anyone with straight eyes…!

Is it possible to make people this anxious?

If Suhyeon had been so kind, I could have kept her in my arms forever without worrying about things like this…

‘···It won’t be taken away.’

Wasn’t that why he left Suhyeon’s side in the first place and headed to Luoyang, and why did he return to Suhyeon’s side again?

The experience of having something precious taken away from me once when I was young was enough.

Now it will never be taken away from me again.

Even if the opponent is the emperor, the master of this world.

“According to Sun Tzu, a book of military methods written by Sun Wu, a man from the Spring and Autumn Period, if you know your enemy and yourself, you will not be in danger even if you fight a hundred times. They said that if you don’t even know me, no matter how many times you fight, you will definitely lose.”

“It’s a story from the 『Pore』 section of 『Grand Tzu』.”

“···Really?”

“···?”

If it’s Sun Tzu’s Art of War, then it’s Sun Tzu’s Art of War, but what about Pores? It’s like a fucking movie version?

The words filled my throat for a moment, but I swallowed them instead of saying them out loud.

No matter how small the details are, it’s okay as long as the meaning is in sync.

“So?”

“Huh?”

“What is the point of you suddenly coming and saying such things?”

“What can I say, of course it’s because of this.”

As I said that and shook the object that I had just acquired until it made a fluttering sound, Heejijae’s eyes, which somehow reminded me of a cat, naturally turned towards me.

“What is that again?”

“Hmm… Would it be easier to understand if I told you that this was a letter from the Jinan branch of our Yoonga Sangdan?”

“···!”

Did I realize the value of what I was holding in my hands with just those words?

The narrowed eyes widened as if they had never been so, as if to show their wariness towards a man outside of their home.

But then it got thinner again.

“···What do you want?”

“I like that the story is fast. Now, I’ll hand this over to you, so instead-”

“Wait.”

“···?”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t listen. Are you planning to use that as an excuse to ask me for something strange?!”

What is this bitch saying now?

They say that when a person becomes more embarrassed than they can handle, they become speechless, and that was exactly what happened to me right now.

So, without realizing it, I was just twitching my eyes, but was my silence interpreted as a ‘thing’ peculiar to a person who has hit the nail on the head?

Hee Ji-jae’s momentum suddenly increased. The contemptuous look was a bonus.

“According to the content of the book I read, when men see intelligent and noble women like me or my lord, they feel the urge to make those haughty faces distort with pleasure.”

“···.”

” In a way, it is natural that Soohyun feels such a desire when looking at me. After all, the opponent is me, right?”

“···.”

“It’s truly disappointing and despising, but… I can’t help it. I have no choice but to endure the humiliation, thinking that this is also for the sake of my lord, Shin Maeng-deok, to whom I sincerely pledged allegiance.”

“No, that…”

“So what do you plan to ask of me? Seo, no way… Huh?!”

If I left him there any longer, he felt like he was going to take off his clothes and attack me, so I quickly applied it to the top of his head and prescribed the honey balm that I had personally learned from Jo In, but fortunately, the effect wasn’t bad.

Thanks to my special Baekhoehyeol massage, the anger that had been occupying her mind seemed to have completely disappeared, and intelligence returned to Heejijae’s eyes.

“Okay, what are you thinking?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Aman and your target. It’s not like you’re trying to cause a mindless backlash… What are you aiming for?”

Did I not know that the price was something like that?

Hee Ji-jae’s eyes began to roll in circles.

“Well, that’s…”
