Part 2 Episode 82
bright smile
Hwiik-
Jeong Gwang checked Jinhwa’s behavior and whistled softly.
“Jin Gong Gong. “You are being treated better than you think.”
It is said that the commander of the Geumuiwiui used all possible methods to remove the demonic and subcutaneous blood that Jeong Gwang had pointed out.
Without taking any action, Jinhwa sat comfortably in his chair and stared at Jeonggwang and his group.
His mouth opened and his voice came out louder than usual.
“It’s good treatment. “The Danjeon was shattered.”
Jeong Gwang looked with a straight face.
“Where does that end? The muscles in my limbs are fine and I have all my fingers and toes. They didn’t even take off her skin. “I heard that the Geumwiwi’s hands are spicy, but they are gentler than I heard.”
Evolution smiled bitterly.
“As expected, the standards are very different from criminals.”
“The same goes for Jin Gong-gong. “I guess the voice was originally about this loud.”
“I don’t remember much.”
“Nevertheless, the reason you donate so much seems to be your will to return to your original self.”
“… … .”
Jeong Gwang saw Jin Hua’s eyes change and nodded.
“That’s right. There’s no need to torture me. “Let’s go well.”
Evolution, who was silent for a moment, slowly straightened his back.
Sweat beaded on my forehead because of the pain of having my dantian destroyed, but I didn’t care and did it in the end.
And then I looked away.
At the end was Hwang Tae-son, who had a complicated expression on his face.
“If you have any questions, ask.”
Taeson Hwang, who was looking back on the past years, frowned at Jinhwa’s changed tone of voice.
His mouth opened and a cracked voice came out.
“Do you remember how I often expressed my gratitude? “You have been very good to me.”
“… … .”
“When I was young, I was a playmate, and when I grew up, I always gave appropriate advice. It was definitely like that… … .”
Hwang Tae-son’s voice became sharper.
“Yes you bastard! “I have never treated you badly, so why did you become a weightlifter?”
“Weight lifting. “I’m mistaken.”
Jinhua stared at Hwang Tae-son and explained clearly.
“First of all, let me make it clear that I don’t feel sorry for you. “Except that the inhumane acts committed by Mr. Joo have come back as a dagger.”
“What?”
“I am a survivor of a family of founding contributors who were overthrown by Joo Wonjang in the past.”
How did they live after their family was exterminated?
In addition to the story about his master, he even said that he castrated himself to keep the will of his father and vassal.
Jinhwa confessed without hiding anything and added quietly.
“Please give up the idea of putting your ancestors on trial in order to atone for my sins. “Their graves have long been destroyed by your great-grandfather.”
Hwang Tae-son’s eyes wavered.
“Don’t even think that I will be the end. Do you think everyone who suffered because of Mr. Joo died? Decades have passed since Wonjang Joo took action, so the children must have been around my age. The survivors of the family that was attacked by Juche will also be growing up. “They will be visiting for generations, so you had better wash your neck and wait.”
Hwang Tae-son’s face twitched subtly as he heard directly from the victims about the cruel purges of his great-grandfather and grandfather and what they received in return.
‘I thought it was too harsh, but I never thought the resentment would be this deep… … .’
King Taejo and Emperor Yongle gained powerful imperial power after numerous purges.
Tae-son Hwang, who inherited the imperial throne, felt his heart tingle and his whole body shiver as he listened to Jin Hua’s calm yet poignant words.
Jinhwa watched Hwang Tae-son like that and smiled.
“It’s not your fault, but what can you do? “What has become your share according to heaven’s law.”
It was the karma that had to be borne as compensation for inheriting the powerful imperial authority.
“It’s no use regretting now. No, you might swing your sword more viciously. “Where will Joo’s blood go?”
A furrow appeared between Hwang Tae-son’s eyebrows.
But I wasn’t angry.
Mr. Joo’s last words, asking where his blood would go, struck his heart.
‘Will I really be like that too?’
There were people who wanted that to happen.
‘The Emperor has consistently pointed out that we need to increase our reading mind. That’s how he can protect it, and when he gets to his position, he will realize that he has no choice but to do so.
Honestly, I hated it.
I wanted to rule the world with virtue, not blood.
‘okay. He thought he had it… … .’
I suddenly felt unsure.
Even when he greeted his uncle, the kings, at Geunsinjeon during the day, didn’t he warn them with venom?
That’s it. It was scheduled to run soon.
A self-deprecating laugh naturally flowed out.
“haha. “Am I ultimately the same?”
“no.”
Taeson Hwang laughed at Jeong Gwang’s words.
“Did you get into my head again?”
“I don’t have that kind of talent.”

“But how can you say that in a timely manner?”
“I was just guessing. “You originally had something in mind, but you were shaken after hearing Jin Gong-gong’s words, right?”
“It’s a shame, but that’s true.”
“It’s not like you.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You are a person who takes responsibility for your words.”
“I thought so. “Not now.”
“You’re thinking that wrong too. “Let me explain it carefully.”
Jeong Gwang stared directly at Hwang Tae-son.
“In life, there are many times when you have to change what you said depending on your profit or loss, but keeping it means you have two abilities.”
It was the judgment to only make promises that could be kept and the tenacity to keep them even if that judgment went astray.
“Let’s just say I made a mistake in judgment like you said. “Is it all over?”
Hwang Tae-son took a deep breath and muttered.
“yes. “I still have the fortitude to protect it.”
“That’s it. “I think you can do it.”
“… … Thank you for enlightening me. “I’ll think about it for a moment.”
Jeong Gwang shook his head as he watched Hwang Tae-son leave the room.
‘okay. Think about it. There should be a reward for your efforts.’
He used Hwang Tae-son as a bait and a means of initiating the attack to catch the assassin, but also instilled in him the will to live in order to save his life.
Naturally, mind reading is bound to increase accordingly.
Emperor Taesun was determined to purge the King of Han and King Cao Gan, but this was not what Zheng Guang wanted.
‘It doesn’t matter if it’s the King of Han, but if it’s the King of Jogan, it’s in trouble. He was thinking how to change his mind, but I’m glad Jinhwa is an assassin.
After hearing the circumstances of Jinhua from the King of Darkness, he made a plan. Since he just threw the topic at Hwang Tae-son, all that remains is to wait and hope for the best.
‘I’ve done this, but if it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing I can do.’
As I was thinking about Hyejin, who was standing silently on one side with Zhao, I felt Jinhwa’s gaze on me.
“Jin Gong Gong. “Do you have something to say to me too?”
How could it not be there?
He is the main culprit who ruined the great cause.
Evolution’s eyes narrowed.
“Did you doubt me from the beginning?”
“no. “I thought he was quick-witted and smart, but I couldn’t smell Sejak.”
Jeong Gwang scratched his chin and continued speaking.
“You did not betray, but you did what you had to do, so it is justified.”
“I never thought the day would come when your outspoken words and actions would sound this good. “Thank you for telling me I did what I had to do.”
“Thank you. I ruined everything. “Don’t you feel resentful?”
Evolution laughed helplessly.
“haha. I’ve thought a lot since I was brought here and imprisoned. At first I cursed you. But after thinking about it, I realized I was wrong. What’s the point of blaming someone who can’t do anything about it, like a typhoon or a tsunami? but… … .”
Evolution’s eyes became sharper.
“I resent being taken advantage of a little while ago. Are you encouraging the Crown Prince to pursue virtuous politics?”
“well.”
Jeong Gwang tilted his head and denied it.
“I’m not encouraging it, but I want you to rule over Daemyung with your true character.”
“For the peace of the world and your happiness?”
“Because good things are good. Would you be okay with that?”
Whether or not he had anything more to say, it was clear that Jinhwa would be subjected to harsh torture.
Evolution also knew this well.
“It’s not okay, but I have to accept it. Are you okay with that?”
“What?”
One corner of Jinhwa’s mouth went up.
“You have shown so much ability. Even though the emperor will die soon. The Crown Prince will become more and more afraid of you. “I’m looking forward to the future.”
It was a very scary story.
Jeong Gwang-do, one corner of his mouth went up.
“It may be a bit tiring, but it will also be fun.”
“… … “What about peace under heaven?”
“My happiness comes first.”
“… … under. haha! ha ha ha!”
Evolution laughed louder and louder and then shook his head.
“As expected, Jinokryong. I’m sorry for doing something that didn’t work. “Don’t worry, Prince Hwang is not that kind of great person.”
At that time, Prince Hwang came in.
He watched Jeong Gwang with unwavering eyes.
“Jinokryong. Since I am in front of you, I will speak comfortably. I will pay the karma of my ancestors and show courage for future generations. “I will develop a strength so strong that no one can even dream of betraying me, and based on that strength, I will rule the world by providing virtue.”
“But what if you get weightlifting?”
“I’m trying to differentiate. Those who are guilty should be killed, but those who are not guilty should be saved. The one who saved his life will not be allowed to take revenge with strength and virtue. “For others, I will follow the advice my father gave me at Geunsinjeon, give what I have to give, take what I have to give, and keep at least the minimum good.”
“awesome. By the way, will His Highness the King of Han and His Highness King Jogan proceed with the original plan?”
“I was worried about that too. How many more will they buy? I have no intention of taking your life. “I will be kind to my blood relatives.”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“That’s how it is for blood relatives. “You will be a saint.”
Emperor Taesun sighed.
“Whoa. You’re painting my face with gold. “It looks like things worked out the way you wanted.”
“no. “I guess it happened just as you wanted.”
It was just as Jeong Gwang said.
“That’s right. I wanted to change the world without changing myself. “I have made up my mind so please take good care of me in the future.”
Jeong Gwang turned his sails as the wind blew.
“Lowering. It’s late at night. Let’s go. Mongolia will come down tomorrow. “The assembly will be held in the morning, so report it to the Emperor quickly and then get a good night’s sleep.”
Hwang Tae-son looked at Jeong-gwang with a puzzled expression and then laughed.
“Okay. “Let’s talk again tomorrow.”
Before Jeong Gwang could say anything, Hwang Tae-son secretly turned his gaze and glared at Jin Hua.
“I swore that I would rule the world with virtue. “I cannot forgive you for swinging your sword directly at me.”
“I know. “If you forgive me, it would be stupid, not virtuous.”
“Anything to say?”
Jinhua looked at Hwang Tae-son with calm eyes and sighed.
“I am upset that Mr. Zhou’s reign will be prolonged. But I guess it’s a good thing for the people. “I wasn’t able to kill the emperor and the person who would become the emperor, but I’m glad that the number of people like me won’t increase for the time being.”
“… … “I heard you well.”
Taeson Hwang turned and left the room, muttering.
“I will let you go as painlessly as possible. Goodbye, Concubine Jin.”
* * *
Jeong Gwang received permission from the Crown Prince and confirmed the conditions of King Han, King Jogan, and Princess Yeongpyeong.
In the first place, the King of Han was not interested, so he just glanced at it and passed by.
Sohye used such exquisite deep energy that both King Jogan and Princess Yeongpyeong were still lying unconscious.
‘It’s a really convincing deep attack.’
I tried to ask once before how to unfold it, but I missed the time and just passed by.
‘I’ll find out once everything in the imperial palace is over. He also entered the Imperial Palace Military Academy.’
The name is the Imperial Palace, but how many useful things are there?
First, I called Sohye over and checked the situation again.
“Didn’t the pregnant women make a fuss?”
“That was true, but both of them had lost consciousness, and their breathing and pulse were normal, so they retreated. “You’ll probably wake up by tomorrow.”
“You adjusted your strength too lightly.”
“yes?”
“It hasn’t been sorted out yet. Deep Gong, you can use it twice a day, right? “Please do it tomorrow too.”
“Oh, I understand. And please take care of me.”
“me too. “Sleep well.”
In order to prepare for the possibility of another assassin, Hwang Tae-son also stayed at Geoncheong Palace.
Of course, Jeong Gwang and his group were also assigned a room.
When Jeong Gwang arrived at his room, he greeted Zhao and Hye Jin.
“Then see you tomorrow.”
Hyejin caught him as he was about to enter the room.
“Sobriety. thank you.”
“Not yet. “His Majesty the Crown Prince will not go back on his words, but I don’t know how His Majesty King Jogan will react.”
“I’m just saying this because I’m grateful for all the hard work you’ve done to get to this point.”
“Well, if that’s the case.”
Zhao, who was watching with a grin, asked.
“Sobriety. As I told the Emperor, do you plan to go to Master’s safe house tomorrow?”
“yes.”
“I will follow too.”
“no. Zhao and Hyejin Soje have other things to do.”
“What is?”
“Please protect His Highness King Jogan and Princess Yeongpyeong, respectively.”
Zhao answered with a meaningful expression.
“understand. “I’m telling you to protect yourself from the risk of regaining consciousness.”
“yes. Sohye and Sojeo have one body, so I can’t take care of both of them at the same time.”
“All right. “If there is someone who comes to their senses, I will give them a blood transfusion and then call Sohye Sojeo and have her use deep energy to remove the blood.”
“As expected, Zao. “You seem to have a knack for dark conspiracies.”
“… … “Isn’t this a plot planned by Danju?”
“Since you noticed that, you are greater than me. Please take care of both of them.”
As soon as Jeong Gwang entered the room, he re-applied Geumchang medicine to his crusty wounds and had a good luck.
‘This is enough. But why isn’t he coming?’
A black book appeared as if it had read my inner thoughts.
“Cult leader! Forgive me for being late!”
“huh. “What are you doing so late?”
“I finished explaining to the emperor, but the commanding officer of the Gold Council kept asking me questions, so I had to stop… … .”
“I became a commander. “Do you believe in the emperor?”
Heukseo’s tone became cautious.
“I had my doubts, but since it was beneficial, I was willing to overlook it. Moreover, didn’t the subordinate protect him while appearing to be in harmony with the religious leader?”
“The emperor must have been thinking a lot.”
“I might ask the religious leader something tomorrow.”
“Sure. “I’ll give you a new mission.”
Heukseo did the new model right away.
“It’s an honor, cult leader!”
“Protect the emperor.”
“… … yes? ah! Sorry! “I was already protecting it, but you said it again and I made a mistake.”
“Take care of it properly. “The emperor will die soon, but he is an old man with a strong desire for power, so he will only abdicate to the Crown Prince right before he dies.”
“ah! When the emperor left his will, he was worried that someone might play a trick on him. understand.”
“huh. What if the wrong guy becomes emperor? It’s not good for all of us. I believe you will do well. “I will give you a reward, so work hard.”
“Long live, long live long… … .”
“Noisy. “Go and sleep.”
“… … “My name!”
Jeong Gwang also slept.
The next morning.
Jeong Gwang, who woke up after a good night’s sleep, took off his tattered Geumuiwi official uniform and changed into regular clothes.
‘As expected, the official uniform doesn’t fit. It’s much better.’
I went out to Geoncheong Palace feeling refreshed.
Isn’t the Dongbangjang standing with the dogs, forcing his eyes wide open?
“uh? “What are you doing when you’re not sleeping?”
A vein rose on the Dongbangjang’s temple.
“Protect it!”
“Well. “You should sleep.”
“Is that what you want to say now?”
“It’s fastest when you think it’s too late.” “The inspection will start soon, so please let the dogs sleep.”
The Dongbangjang expressed his gratitude as if chewing it up and spitting it out.
“I’m so thankful I’m crying.”
“Why with something like that again? See you later.”
Jeong Gwang went out of the palace to search the King’s safe house.
But this was a superficial reason.
In fact, they were heading to a secret secret hideout that the King of Darkness had secretly known about.
‘This is an opportunity to get one step closer to the rats that have been getting on my nerves for quite some time.’
These rats were no ordinary bastards.
If so, you will have to deal with it in an appropriate way.
So I went alone without telling anyone.
A bright smile appeared on Jeong Gwang’s face.
‘I guess we should treat them like they were in our past lives, right?’
