Chapter 330: The Loafer Causes Trouble (5)

“Where are you going?”

“……”

Wei Yanho, who was about to turn around, was startled by that voice full of murderous intent.

“I asked you where you are going.”

Wei Yanho, who turned around awkwardly, scratched the back of his neck:

“You’re a eunuch, but you have a very deep voice. You scared me.”

“You brat!”

The eunuch, who looked like he would fall backward, shouted with veins bulging on his forehead and neck.

“I don’t know who you are, but you better not think about surviving. How dare you enter the imperial palace and assassinate His Highness the Prince?”

“I didn’t sneak in. I walked in.”

“Don’t answer me back!”

“No, I just asked…”

“I will cut you into a thousand pieces. You won’t die easily. Call someone!”

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, soldiers came running from everywhere.

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho opened his mouth as he saw the soldiers running:

“Many.”

“Arrest this guy and take him to prison!”

“Yes!”

Wei Yanho shrugged as the soldiers surrounded him:

“Eh, can I ask something?”

“Shut up!”

“They say that even the wishes of the dead are fulfilled, so don’t be so cruel.”

The eunuch, who had handed the child over to the doctor who had arrived in a hurry, said with narrowed eyes:

“Go ahead! Tell me why you did this. It’s funny to talk to someone who is about to die, but I want to know why you did this.”

“I didn’t do it for any reason, but… that child is the prince, right?”

“Yes. He is His Majesty’s only son and the future emperor. Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”

“I didn’t know.”

Wei Yanho stopped the eunuch, who was about to shout in disbelief:

“No, I asked that child…”

“That child?”

“No, I asked the prince. He said he wasn’t from the imperial family.”

“What madness!”

The eunuch shouted:

“If you have common sense, you should think about whether a child can be in the imperial palace. If he is not from the imperial family, how can a child enter the palace?”

“You’re right.”

Wei Yanho licked his lips:

“It was an accident, but it was a lesson. I almost caused a big problem. I feel happy that I did something good for the country.”

The eunuch looked at Wei Yanho in disbelief:

‘Is he crazy?’

The imperial palace is a dangerous place.

There are many conspiracies, but there is no place with more crazy people than the imperial palace. It is full of people who can abandon their families for power. He had seen many villains and madmen, but he had never seen anyone as crazy as him.

“I don’t know what you’re relying on.”

The eunuch’s expression hardened:

“It is a privilege of children to be reckless, but it is the duty of adults to correct them. I will make you realize the gravity of your actions.”

Wei Yanho sighed:

“It wasn’t intentional, and that child… no, His Highness the Prince said he wasn’t from the imperial family, aren’t there any extenuating circumstances?”

“Normally, we should cut your flesh three hundred times, but I will reduce it to two hundred and ninety-nine times.”

“…thank you.”

Wei Yanho shook his head:

“Well, things have gotten complicated, so I must leave. If I stay, I will be tortured.”

“Where are you going?”

“I must leave the palace. I don’t want to die.”

The eunuch sneered:

“How?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t forget where you are. This is the imperial palace. You rely on your ability, but no one can escape from here.”

Wei Yanho scratched his head:

“Yes, but I’m special. I’m sorry, but there’s no other option. Goodbye.”

“Try it.”

“Hmm?”

When Wei Yanho was about to answer, armed soldiers appeared on the roof.

“Huh?”

Soldiers in black armor and warriors in yellow clothes surrounded Wei Yanho. There were soldiers on every roof and alley, like an anthill.

“Huh?”

When Wei Yanho looked surprised, the eunuch smiled:

“I will make you understand what ‘snake pit’ means. Even if you are powerful, you cannot escape from here.”

Wei Yanho rolled his eyes as he saw more warriors join.

“Eh… can I ask something else?”

“I’m tired of indulging you.”

“It’s very important.”

“…What?”

Wei Yanho asked seriously:

“Do they serve food in prison?”

“…”

***

“Did they catch him?”

“Yes.”

Nokgi smiled. The face of him, who had never been relaxed, was completely relaxed.

“Damn it. It’s easy to catch him.”

Nokgi reached out and took a cup of tea.

The pain in his stomach disappeared. Wei Yanho, who had been a thorn in his heart, had finally fallen into his trap.

“He didn’t resist?”

“He surrendered peacefully. Even when they were taking him to prison, he asked if they would give him food… it must be an illusion. Even if he is foolish, he shouldn’t underestimate the situation.”

“True.”

Nokgi nodded slowly:

“But the fact that he surrendered peacefully… is strange.”

Nokgi frowned slightly.

Even an expert cannot control all the experts in the imperial palace. If he could, any powerful warrior could infiltrate the imperial palace, assassinate the emperor, and escape. That is impossible.

But the fact that he didn’t resist is worrying. If he had resisted and escaped, he would have had a perfect excuse, but he missed that opportunity.

“It’s a shame, but everything can’t be done perfectly. What he did is enough to accuse him of treason.”

“You’re right.”

“Hahahaha, you brat.”

Nokgi drank the tea with satisfaction:

“Even if you are powerful, the imperial palace is my territory. Your fate was sealed from the moment you entered.”

Nokgi laughed.

Even Wei Yanho couldn’t plan anything while in prison.

“The eunuch’s strategy is amazing.”

“It’s not strategy, it’s effort.”

Nokgi replied calmly.

Wei Yanho and the prince.

It was strange that nothing had happened when they met. Wei Yanho and the prince were the worst people he knew. How is it possible that nothing happened when they were together?

It was like setting fire to dry straw and it not burning. That was impossible.

“The important thing was to convince the child and catch his guards. I achieved it with effort, not with intelligence.”

Nokgi licked his lips:

“Everything went as I expected. Now I can implicate Yi Wangya, the Second Prince. Now it is important.”

Nokgi put the teacup down forcefully and got up:

“Yi Wangya! You have made a mistake! When people become desperate, they do things they normally wouldn’t do. This mistake will be your biggest mistake.”

Nokgi laughed loudly.

The laughter echoed through the palace, and people cowered.

***

“He hit the prince?”

“Yes.”

“The prince?”

“Yes.”

Saha lowered his head and looked at the book in his hands. The title “The Story of Wei Yanho” was written on the cover.

“Is it fiction?”

“Huh?”

“…If you hit the prince, you must die. Even if you fall from the sky, you die, and if you hit the prince, you die. Isn’t that a natural law?”

“Yes, normally… yes.”

Gwanggu Singae nodded strongly:

“Normally, hitting a member of the imperial family is a crime, but hitting the prince is treason. You shouldn’t think about surviving after committing treason. Normally.”

Gwanggu Singae smiled:

“But… it’s strange.”

“Huh?”

“Haven’t you noticed something strange when listening to my story?”

“Wouldn’t it be stranger to notice something normal?”

“…Something stranger than that.”

“I don’t know. I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Gwanggu Singae clicked his tongue:

“Do you think Wei Yanho is smart?”

“…Not really.”

“Yes.”

Gwanggu Singae frowned slightly:

“But I still don’t know.”

“What?”

“Whether it’s luck or intelligence.”

“……”

Saha fell silent upon hearing Gwanggu Singae.

“Normally, it’s difficult for everything to go well. Especially by luck. But Wei Yanho always has the best results. Even this time.”

“Hmm.”

“Surviving is already a good result. But Wei Yanho does more. In a way that others cannot imagine.”

Saha nodded. He understood what Gwanggu Singae meant.

“I began to suspect. If it’s really luck.”

Gwanggu Singae scratched his nose:

“Maybe I’m thinking too much, but sometimes I think that we have been manipulated by him.”

“…What happened at the Baekgeom Fortress for you to say that?”

“Well, at that time…”

Gwanggu Singae coughed and took a bottle of alcohol:

“Ugh!”

“What? What’s wrong?”

“There’s no alcohol.”

“……”

“My throat hurts.”

“…You’ve already drunk.”

“I’m leaving.”

“…I’ll go buy it.”

Jangil, who was always a fool for Wei Yanho, was like a leech to Saha.
