Chapter 335: The Loafer is Imprisoned (5)

Everyone looked at Wei Yanho.

But Wei Yanho whistled and looked away.

‘They’re looking for you, brat.’

People stared at him in disbelief, but Wei Yanho ignored their gazes.

“They said they were looking for Wei Yanho.”

The imperial guard frowned as he looked at the head of the prison:

“T… that…”

As the head of the prison was about to raise his hand, he saw Wei Yanho raising his fist behind the imperial guard.

‘What do you want me to do?’

His expression clearly said, “If you talk, you’re dead meat.” It was a threat that the head of the prison couldn’t ignore.

“Also…”

“What?”

The imperial guard looked at the head of the prison in disbelief:

“Aren’t you the head of the prison?”

“Y… yes.”

“Then don’t you know who the prisoner is?”

I know.

Of course, I know.

But if you say everything you know, you’d need ten heads.

“I’m sorry.”

The imperial guard looked at the head of the prison, then looked at Wei Jeonghan:

“Who is Wei Yanho?”

Wei Jeonghan sneered:

‘What do they think I am?’

Even though he wanted to beat his son, why should he hand him over so easily without knowing why they were looking for him?

Besides, they were imperial guards. They didn’t come with good intentions, even if they put a knife to his neck!

“That guy.”

Wei Jeonghan pointed at his son.

Wei Yanho looked at Wei Jeonghan in disbelief and opened his mouth:

“Wow…”

“……”

“Wow, you sold your son out.”

“I haven’t received anything, so I didn’t sell him. We must cooperate with the authorities.”

“Wow.”

The imperial guards looked at Wei Yanho and said coldly:

“Come out.”

“I don’t want to.”

“…”

The imperial guards were surprised:

“Don’t you understand? I told you to come out.”

“You don’t understand. I don’t want to.”

“…”

The imperial guards stared at Wei Yanho in disbelief. This was the imperial dungeon of the imperial palace, and he was an imperial guard.

Even powerful people are intimidated when they come here. Even high-ranking officials hesitate to confront the imperial guards.

What is this kid relying on?

“Come out!”

“I don’t want to!”

“Come out before we drag you out.”

“You won’t be able to drag me out.”

“Brat!”

When the imperial guard was about to attack, the head of the prison ran to him and stopped him:

“What?”

“Uh…”

The head of the prison pointed at the repaired bars:

“What is this?”

“He broke them and came in.”

“…”

“Don’t consider him a common prisoner…”

Even though Wei Jeonghan had done it, it was no different.

The imperial guard recalled the information about Wei Yanho:

‘They said he was a great expert.’

He hadn’t paid any attention to it. Even if he is powerful, he is just a prisoner in the imperial dungeon of the imperial palace.

He thought that if he could escape, he wouldn’t have given himself up.

But the broken dungeon and Wei Yanho’s appearance changed his mind.

‘I’ve never seen anyone like this…’

He thought that he wouldn’t dare to challenge him, but it didn’t seem certain.

He had never seen such a malicious expression.

He might be able to defeat all the imperial guards.

The imperial guard’s voice softened:

“Khuh khum, khum.”

The imperial guard coughed and spoke:

“We don’t have bad intentions, so come out.”

“I don’t want to.”

“I told you we don’t have bad intentions!”

“My father said that you should never follow someone who kindly coaxes you.”

“Did I say that?”

Wei Jeonghan was angry.

Although it was normal advice for children, he had never told that to Wei Yanho.

It was obvious. There was no reason to tell that to someone who never goes out.

“Do you think I’m a people trafficker? I’m an imperial guard! Do imperial guards do that?”

“It’s not people trafficking, are you trying to take me to my execution?”

“There are no night executions! I’ve never heard of it.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head:

“That’s right.”

“And how can an execution be carried out in secret? If you are going to be executed, they will do it in broad daylight, so don’t worry.”

“…That’s comforting.”

Wei Yanho smiled and spoke:

“Where are you taking me?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Why?”

“The imperial palace has many secrets.”

Wei Yanho looked at the imperial guard with a serious expression and asked Wei Jeonghan:

“What do I do?”

“It’s better to cooperate. It’s better to give a good impression than to be labelled as uncooperative.”

“I don’t want to go.”

“Why did you ask? Why!”

Wei Yanho got up lazily:

“I don’t want to move…”

“It won’t take long.”

“Okay, I’ll go. I don’t think those people will trick me.”

When Wei Yanho approached the door, the head of the prison opened the door in fear. He was afraid that Wei Yanho would break it.

Otherwise, he would have to make up a new charge: damage to imperial palace property.

Wei Yanho came out and said goodbye to Wei Jeonghan:

“I’m leaving.”

“…May you be executed.”

“There are no night executions!”

Even though he heard many insults, Wei Yanho smiled and said to the imperial guards:

“What are you doing?”

“Khum, let’s go.”

Wei Jeonghan sighed as he watched Wei Yanho leave with the imperial guards:

‘What is going on.’

Wei Jeonghan was worried that Wei Yanho would cause trouble.

“The imperial palace is atmospheric even at night.”

“……”

The imperial guard looked at Wei Yanho in disbelief:

‘Who is this guy?’

He knew that he had been in the imperial palace for almost ten days. Why is he acting like it’s his first time?

“There are a lot of torches, so it’s bright like daytime. I thought it was bright outside when I was sleeping. They should turn off the lights to sleep better.”

‘Ignore him.’

The imperial guard already knew Wei Yanho.

Talking to him was a waste of time. Only he couldn’t let him go.

“Come in here.”

“Huh?”

“Didn’t you hear? You must go this way.”

“Straight? Weren’t we going together?”

“I can’t go in. There will be people waiting for you.”

Wei Yanho shrugged his shoulders and asked:

“I’m worried about going alone. What if I escape?”

“If you wanted to escape, you would have already done it. I know you’re not here because of a lack of ability.”

“Hmm…”

When Wei Yanho looked in surprise, the imperial guard raised his hand and pointed:

“Over there. Do you see that tower?”

“Yes. It’s huge.”

“Go there.”

Wei Yanho nodded.

He had many questions, but he didn’t think that this man would know the answer. He wasn’t hiding anything, he just didn’t seem to know much.

Besides, an imperial guard couldn’t control Wei Yanho, who was a traitor.

“Yes. I’m going. And when will I return?”

“They will tell you.”

“Yes, then.”

The imperial guard shook his head when Wei Yanho left:

‘The bandits of the martial world are very rude.’

He didn’t like Wei Yanho’s behavior, who was accustomed to the strict rules of the imperial palace. Those who knew him would also think that.

“I promised that he wouldn’t be executed…”

The guard smiled bitterly.

He might not die now, but he might die for going there. He wasn’t lying, but he felt bitter.

The guard sighed and turned around.

“Is it bright?”

It felt like he was walking on a flower path.

There were torches on both sides of the road, as if they were telling Wei Yanho to follow them. Wei Yanho followed the torches and saw the eunuchs guarding the tower.

“This way.”

“Aren’t you going to ask me who I am?”

“This way.”

The eunuchs blocked Wei Yanho and started walking.

‘These eunuchs are different.’

The eunuchs he had met before were from East Palace, and they had a gloomy atmosphere, but these eunuchs had a bright atmosphere.

‘Very different from Eunuch King.’

His prejudices about eunuchs were destroyed. There were eunuchs loyal to the imperial palace and the emperor.

The eunuchs started climbing the tower.

‘Wow, it’s very high.’

It looked tall from the outside, but it seemed endless when climbing. It was a nine-story tower.

After climbing many stairs, he saw a large door. It seems that there was no space except on the top floor.

When he approached the door, the door opened before he could speak. The eunuch bowed deeply and went inside, and Wei Yanho followed him.

“Hmm?”

There was a large space inside. A middle-aged man was sitting at a tea table in the center, and some eunuchs were standing around him.

“Leave.”

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the eunuchs bowed deeply and left.

Wei Yanho was still confused.

The middle-aged man looked at Wei Yanho and spoke slowly:

“Do you know who I am?”

“No, but I think I do.”

The man smiled:

“Yes, as you think.”

The man nodded and spoke in a low voice. But Wei Yanho heard clearly.

“I am the emperor of the Great Ming.”
