Chapter Index

    The white steam escaping from the soldiers’ mouths was blown away by the dry winter wind.

    At this moment, the identity of the soldiers advancing towards the imperial palace with their spears raised high was, ironically, the Golden Army, the imperial guardian army.

    A collection of the most elite soldiers in Luoyang, or rather, in the central plains.

    Is that why?

    Every time they took a step, it seemed like a forest made of spear blades, not people, was moving.

    And at the forefront, leading it were three heroes.

    Junggungyowi, elemental basic.

    Sanggungyowi, Cao Cao Maengdeok.

    Hobunjungrangjang, meritorious service to Wonsul.

    “Tch, I can’t believe I have to stand side by side with these lowly things.”

    “There are many listening ears around you, so please refrain from making comments that may cause problems. Merit.”

    “Don’t act noble when you’re born in Jongnyeon, it’s disgusting.”

    It was a remark that bordered on verbal abuse, but the person who heard it didn’t seem to mind. In fact, the face of the person who said those words only turned redder.

    He deliberately spoke aggressively to upset the other person, but he did not get the desired response, so it seems like he suffered a blow in return.

    Thanks to this, Cao Cao, who glanced sideways at the figure of Wonsul, whose face was as red as a lily and his small body was shaking with anger, whispered to Yuan Shao, who had naturally taken the center seat.

    “It’s still the same, your younger brother.”

    “Isn’t that even cuter?”

    Do you really mean that when you say something like that is cute?

    Looking at his smiling face, it seemed surprising. That’s exactly why I thought she was a bitch I didn’t even know.

    He views everything in the world so little that he considers it beneath him, and he is strangely kind to that little boy who has been neglected for a long time… .

    Does this mean that even though the bellies are different, blood is still blood?

    “One of them is Jongnyeon and the other is a eunuch’s granddaughter, so they said they play together and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

    “If you’re doing this because you’re lonely, I’d like to give you credit too.”

    “Who, who said they were lonely?! A sound that doesn’t sound like much… .”

    If there’s one thing I’ve realized while getting to know Won Won, it’s that there is nothing more meaningless and foolish than getting involved in a fight between the Won family sisters.

    A fork in the road also appeared at that moment, and that was why I slowly moved away from Elemental and widened the distance.

    “I guess we’ll have to disperse little by little. Then I’ll end itㅡ”

    “Aman.”

    “What.”

    “Remember, you cannot miss even one person. Especially in the case of dry stone…”

    Was he trying to say that he shouldn’t be left alive no matter what?

    However, since there were more than one person watching around him, he seemed hesitant to mention the words directly, so he smiled slightly at Won Won, who trailed off in an ambiguous place.

    ” Herb.”

    “Um… ?”

    “Do you think you were the only one waiting for this moment?”

    Today was the end of waiting with bated breath and watching the bastards who took over the real power of the government.

    After today, the name Sipsan City will be erased from history.

    *****

    “Is it because it’s not the armor you always wear? Something is a bit awkward.”

    “Even if it’s awkward, what should I do? There is no other way for us, who do not have a proper official position, to mix in with the royal family and enter the imperial palace.”

    “Huh… !”

    “What, what?! Enemy?!”

    “No, Wonyang, for some reason you wanted to say something deep inside… .”

    “This…!?”

    What was the plan we first came up with together?

    To prepare for the chaos that would soon descend on Luoyang, the envoys from Dekhyeon Bureau, a business run by Cao Cao himself, were called to Luoyang.

    Honestly, there were so many ways to do it.

    All I had to do was put a pipe in the branch of Yoonga Sangdan located here in Luoyang and blow up the orders for Korean paper.

    So, I sent a letter to Hee Ji-jae, who remained at Chohyeon, with the intention of making preparations in advance before putting the plan into action…

    ‘We faced opposition.’

    Hee Ji-jae said in a letter that there is no need to sacrifice the power we have cultivated since the urgent matters are Empress Ha and Ha Jin.

    Since this was at first glance correct, we immediately revised our plan and decided to participate in this revolt as a kind of military commander without mobilizing any soldiers.

    And the mission given to us was to take the head of Geon-seok, who could be said to be the head of the Seowon Palgyowi.

    Although it may not seem like a big deal, this was a pretty important mission.

    That’s because Geon-seok is in charge of actual military power within the eunuch forces.

    That means, what if we take Geonseok’s head early?

    There was a high possibility that the power of the eunuchs would become disorganized.

    No matter how much power they have accumulated over the years, it is impossible for them to lose their heads in an instant and be able to move their bodies properly.

    “By the way… This is just a eunuch’s residence? Not the emperor?”

    “Ah, but Geon-seok is not at the level of being called a eunuch. After all, he is the head of the eunuchs along with ‘Jang Yang,’ isn’t he?”

    “No, that’s what it says. Words.”

    Geon-seok’s living quarters was so extravagant that it was impossible not to say something like that. To anyone who looks at it, it looks like a palace where the emperor resides.

    The problem was that it wasn’t just flashy.

    Everyone in power said they were terminally ill patients with a suspicious disease, but couldn’t the guy who was wondering if he had a dry stone or something escape that mission?

    He must have been suffering from the delusion that someone was bringing in troops and targeting his head, as there were traces of preparations for such cases here and there.

    At first glance, it looks like an ordinary wooden door, but it looks very heavy, as if it has something like a thick iron plate on the inside.

    And the walls are so high that you can’t even dare to climb them without a ladder, and you can see unidentifiable scaffolding all over the roof.

    When they came together, it seemed like a small fortress.

    “I guess… I guess you plan to resist?”

    “I guess so. They know better than ever that there is no way they will save you if you surrender now.”

    “It won’t be easy, but this…”

    I don’t know how they got up there with such bodies, but there were eunuchs holding bows all over the roof.

    Right now, they’re just glaring at us, but the moment we approach the door or wall, they’ll immediately string their bows and start shooting arrows like crazy.

    However, if we mobilized archers to deal with those first, there would be too much cover around and we would end up wasting arrows.

    It must have been a moment when he was gently rubbing his forehead while looking at the enemies burning their will to fight to the death.

    Kugugoong~!

    The sound of something like a building collapsing struck my ears.

    Was it because the sound was so loud?

    It even felt as if the pavilions visible beyond the wall were slightly shaking for a moment.

    Even we who were watching from the outside felt the same way, so those who were up on the roof must have been appalled.

    He seemed to think that if he made a mistake, he would be killed by gravity rather than by us, so he quietly drew his sword as he watched them begin to tap dance as if sparks had landed on their feet.

    “I guess I started first.”

    “Anyway, it’s a real monster… .”

    “Oh, I’ll have to tell you what I just said when I meet you~”

    “No, I meant it to be that strong or something like that.”

    “Huh~ I’m looking forward to In’s reaction.”

    “Hey, teacher?”

    “Ugh… I can’t stand it. Am I going first?”

    Every time the officers took turns sparring with each other in a league match-like manner, he always got beaten up by Jo In, so did he once again feel a sense of favoritism toward her?

    Xiahou Dun, who was grinning so fiercely that his sharp fangs were clearly visible, like those of a wild beast, swung his beloved bottle around from his back.

    Every time that happened, a bloody sound like a whoosh would come out of the main sword, which was almost as big as my body.

    Swinging the long sword without hesitation… Xiahou Dun began to take long strides towards the tightly locked door.

    Jeon Jin seems ignorant at first glance.

    In order to stop her, the people stationed on the roof began to urgently fire arrows… .

    Crispy -!

    At a certain moment, a red wind began to rise from the end of the gigantic island and destroyed everything that was aiming at its owner.

    As befits the name of the Blood Wind Link Blade, Xiahou Dun, who was wrapped in a bright red wind and transformed into the appearance of a small natural disaster, collided with the door.

    It was right after that that the door that was blocking our path, showing off its massive size, flew off as if it had been hit by a dump truck and landed in the pavilion located a long time later.

    “No, it’s falling apart!”

    “Aaaah!”

    Ugh, that ignorant bitch…

    It is said that the general, Ha Jin, and the prince, Yu Byeon, are holding out behind us, but the situation is already politically precarious, so perhaps people have already erased from their minds Cao Cao’s instructions not to touch the building as much as possible?

    As I took my eyes off for a moment, I was gently rubbing my forehead as I saw Xiahou Dun climbing up to the roof and giving Newton experience to the eunuchs stationed on top. Then, astonished by Xiahou Dun’s powerlessness, I looked at him with my mouth wide open next to me. He hinted at Manager Geum-gun, who was looking very excited.

    “Are you not going in?”

    “Ah, ah…! Gee, advance! Advance! Hunt down the traitor Geon-seok!!”

    .

    .

    .

    “Now, General…! The traitor Geon-seok is nowhere to be seen! It looks like he took advantage of the commotion and escaped!”

    “Such…! Find it! We must find him at all costs!”

    “If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry.”

    “…?”

    “Yes? What is that…?”

    Beep!

    “Ah, I guess I got caught just in time.”
