Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 203. Who can I kill?

The provincial commander, Yeo Mu-yang, was furious, but was already thinking of withdrawing the operation.

It is natural that he has no resentment enough to go ahead despite the opposition of the Geumuiwi.

“Okay, so let’s go.”

“thank you. Taoist man.”

Dong Yu-soo, a member of the Golden Guard, stood up from his seat, nodded, and left.

As if he had been waiting, the staff member came in and looked at Muyang.

“The operation has been cancelled. Tell Won Jeong Cheon-ho (Won Sang-cho) to return.”

“yes.”

The staff member who overheard unwillingly from outside the door did not ask why.

***

The troops of Cheonhoso, who were gathered outside Gaejong, returned to their original garrison at noon.

Rumors circulated about the troops of Cheonhoso, which disappeared after making a fuss as if they were going to dispatch troops.

Among them, two are representative.

It was the military gate’s warning to the Murim people and the provincial commander’s inspection of the military discipline.

Whatever the reason, with Cheonhoso’s troops gone, Ungyeong went back to a peaceful routine.

It was, except for one person.

around noon.

Anchalsa’s office.

Sa Yeon-hwi was anxious about the sudden change.

This is because the Cheonhoso troops, which were supposed to go catch Yeon Jeok-ha, canceled the operation and scattered.

Today was the third day that Yeon Jeok-ha predicted, so there was no time to come up with countermeasures.

Cheonryangji, who was watching him, spoke cautiously.

“There is no other way to say that the anti-personnel Geumuiwi blocked the troop dispatch. I think you should make a decision before it’s too late.”

“You mean I have to bow my head to a mere green thief?”

“Youngsik’s work must have already reached the ears of the golden chair. Hurry up as the Geumuiwi seems to be sponsoring Yeong Gong in the dark. You may be charged with the crime of ‘trying to move the military gate for a private matter’.”

“Do you really think there will be a secret agreement between the royal guard and the practitioner?”

“Don’t you know what the Geumuiwii do? They belong to the political circle. There is no reason to stay away from the green forest patrol.”

“Amidst the fight between the famous religion and the Justice League, are you trying to get the fisherman’s position by moving Green Forest?”

“Is there any other reason besides that?”

“What do you mean the Golden Guard is going to get involved in that dog fight?”

“Who knows what’s inside the conductor shape?”

“ha! To think that Geumuiwi suddenly intervened and sprinkled ashes on the finished rice. I can’t believe it.”

“Now is the time to show that the relationship between the person and the senior is good. If you think that Dae-in will continue to target Yeon Gong on the throne…”

Cheon Ryang-ji blurted out his words.

Then, Geumuiwi might try to bring down Sayeonhwi.

They’re not the kind of people who would just let someone get in their way.

Fortunately, Sa Yeon-hwi has a history of trying to move the military gate privately.

It means that you can hit the story at any time.

Sa Yeon-hwi stared into space with blank eyes.

He also knew what Cheonryangji was concerned about.

Even until morning, I was worried about what to do if I caught a serial enemy.

But I couldn’t believe it was this shape in half a day.

“her! It’s not like the country. If the anchalsa did not apologize to the thief, he might be decapitated.”

At Sayeonhui’s sigh, Cheonryangji hurriedly opened the door and went out to look around the office.

Fortunately, no one was seen nearby.

After closing the door and returning to her seat, Chun Ryang-ji spoke softly.

“You may be paying attention to the person on the throne. You have to be careful with your words and actions.”

Chun Ryang-ji was Sa Yeon-hwi’s closest aide, so he couldn’t help but worry about him. It is because, if he is caught, dark clouds will set over his future.

“Whoops. You are the only one who worries about me.”

“Don’t be too heartbroken. It’s just that the time is right, and even a woman can’t help. When the struggle of the Murim people is over, even the Golden Guard will not oppose it.”

“So, I have to bow down and go in now?”

“I apologize.”

“ha! To apologize to the thief who turned his son into a half asshole. I want to hang myself from a crossbeam.”

Sa Yeon-hwi closed her eyes with a gloomy expression.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was something I couldn’t do in the face of Anchalsa.

Sa Yeon-hwi skipped lunch and left the office.

Then, when it was new time (3:00 pm to 5:00 pm), Cheonryangji was called.

“Try to keep the number of escorts to a minimum.”

“yes.”

Cheonryangji did not ask where he was going.

Just by looking at the empty face of Sa Yeon-hwi, I could tell where the destination was.

***

Cheonryangji formed an escort with only five military officers, including Lim Saseong.

All of them were not only excellent in martial arts, but also people trusted by Cheonryangji.

They were all on their way to apologize to the seniors, so they filled it up with their own people.

The sun was setting when they arrived at the village of burns.

Sa Yeon-hwi, who was crossing the quiet village, muttered with a lonely expression.

“It’s winter, so the sun sets early.”

“It might be better for us.”

It was cold and dark, and the fewer people passing by, the fewer witnesses there would be.

Sayeonhwi, who understood Cheonryangji’s words, smiled.

“You are such a positive person.”

The two people, who were walking while talking about each other, stopped at the same time.

The point was visible in the distance.

Sa Yeon-hwi glanced at Im Sa-seong, who was following him.

Near Death Sung, who had taken a quick step forward, entered the inn first.

The immortality soon came back.

“They say they haven’t come from Hyojaam yet.”

Cheonryangji quickly stepped out.

“Dain, it would be better to meet him at Hyojaam. No one will come at this hour.”

“Yes.”

Im Sa-seong, who knows the way, took the lead.

After passing through the forest and reaching the place where the hut was visible, Cheonryangji warned the military officers.

“You guard this place, but don’t let anyone approach Hyojaam.”

“yes.”

The five military officers quietly replied.

Eventually, Sayeonhwi and Cheonryangji walked toward Hyojaam.

Yeonjeokhe was still sitting on the edge of a rock, looking only at the Yellow River.

Cheonryangji, who approached cautiously, hesitated for a moment.

My face was burning when I tried to show respect to him in front of Anchalsa.

“Confucius Yeon brought four great people from Anchalsa.”

Only then did Yeon Jeok-ha slowly get up from his seat and approach Cheon-ji and Sa Yeon-hwi.

When Cheonryangji treated him with respect, Sayeonhwi, needless to say, tried the town first.

“The story of Anchalsa in the opening part.”

I just stared blankly at Sa Yeon-hwi, who was in a relationship.

The expression on his face was as if he was contemplating ‘what should I do?’.

Chun Ryang-ji quietly stepped back to save Sa Yeon-hwi’s face.

Cheonryangji, who had fallen behind, looked at Nokdampyeong, who was staggering, with fearful eyes.

Only then did Nok Dam-pyeong get a little startled and quickly went inside the hut.

Because it is a hut made of wood and grass, the breathing is suppressed, and the sympathy of the outside is visible.

‘Anyway, officials!’

Cover your eyes and say anything.

Do they think that if you cover your eyes like a pheasant, you won’t know anything?

While grumbling, Nokdampyeong listened to sympathy from the outside.

This is the moment when Sa Yeon-hwi can’t stand the silence of Yeonjeok-ha and tries to say something.

“What kind of father is Anchalsa Nari?”

Confused by the unexpected question, Sa Yeon-hwi only stared blankly at the opponent’s face.

I thought he would reprimand his son for what he did. What kind of father are you?

Could this be bait to torment yourself?

“Why are you asking that?”

“I’m just curious. I wondered what kind of father he was to be such a strange guy.”

“I heard what my son did. I tried to bring him in, but he was badly injured and I left him at home. I apologize on behalf of my poor child.”

Sa Yeon-hwi, who had been determined, lowered her stance.

It’s because I don’t want to do twice or three times what I can finish once.

“I have no regrets about Mr. Ahn. It happened because Cheonryangji carelessly made fun of his mouth. Of course, if Ahnchalsa didn’t come, I would have visited him. I am a person who keeps my word.”

“I heard it too. He must have said that because he had a heart for me.”

“Yes, I will understand by the sound of bending the arm inward. By the way, I’m asking because I’m really curious. What kind of father is Anchalsa?”

“I am like other fathers.”

As Sa Yeon-hwi, he had nothing to say about himself.

Moreover, since he did not know the intention of the other person’s question, he went out as vaguely as possible.

“I will ask again. Can Anchalsa die for that ugly son instead?”

Life poured out of Yeonjeokha’s eyes.

Sa Yeon-hwi shrank her body involuntarily as she felt that her whole body would be attacked at any moment.

“I don’t know if you know it, but Green Forest kills people even if they don’t like the look in their eyes. But Nari’s son put his hand on my friend’s body. It’s like ignoring me.”

“Forgive me.”

They didn’t even pretend to hear that they were dating and continued talking.

“Old Sim seems satisfied with breaking his bones, but I am different. I think I need to kill someone to relieve my stomach. That’s why I’m asking. tell me Can you die for your son?”

Along with the horse, Yeonjeokha snapped his sword.

Then, a sword flew out of nowhere and landed on Sa Yeon-hwi’s neck.

Soon after, a terrible life wrapped around Sa Yeon-hwi’s body.

That was not something that a civil servant could afford.

Sa Yeon-hwi, who was engulfed in fear for a moment, lost his ideal and spoke gibberish.

“Please save me. That’s not what Cheon Adverb said. I should have known when he kept saying sorry…. I didn’t know it would turn out like this. Really.”

As if this was not the case, Yeonjeokha pulled back his sword slightly and asked again.

“So, who should I kill, the son or the ruler?”

Sa Yeon-hwi, who suddenly came to his senses, realized the point of the question only then.

He really wanted a life.

When I thought ‘I could die’, all kinds of emotions rushed at once.

The jumbled emotions stirred inside him and then drained away like the ebb tide.

A fleeting moment that seemed like an eternity had passed.

Sa Yeon-hwi, who was standing in a daze, answered with a crumbly voice.

“Then kill me. I have lived long enough.”

In an instant, Yeonjeokha moved his sword blade.

The sword that had retreated flew like a beam of light and was deeply embedded in a nearby rock wall.

The trembling flesh disappeared as if it had been washed away.

Yeon Jeok-ha said to Sa Yeon-hwi, who was lost in fascination and blinked his eyes.

“You are a good father.”

“…no. I am just such a father.”

“Trust me. A long time ago, I saw a mediocre person for a while, but he was different from Anchalsa. He only knew himself until he died.”

“Are you forgiving your son?”

“Forgiveness is not of man, but of heaven. Just because a person forgives doesn’t mean the sin karma disappears. People just do what they feel comfortable with. It is said that if you have the power, you will take revenge and if you do not have it, you will forgive for yourself. I was relieved when Anchalsa first greeted me. You said it from the beginning. I have no regrets.”

After he finished speaking, he walked away and disappeared into the forest where darkness fell.
