Chapter 76: The Lazy Man Goes to the Capital (3)
“You failed?”
The eunuch bowed deeply.
The low rumble coming from that voice was always hard to bear.
There are many words in the world, but the one that best describes that voice is probably 'eerie'.
Green Public, Green was such a person.
No matter how much the emperor used eunuchs to strengthen his power, if Nokgi had not been at the center of them, it would have been impossible to gain the emperor's trust, let alone build up his current status.
The one who had absolute trust from the current emperor while being controlled by so many high and low officials was none other than Nokki. He knew how to charm people's hearts and was able to move people as he wished without having to say anything.
And the most cruel and thoroughgoing person in the palace was Nokgi.
Eunuchs cannot have children.
Not being able to have children meant being unable to create a family, which meant being unable to create strong bonds through blood ties.
Sometimes people think that eunuchs easily gain power, but that is not true. Eunuchs enter the palace alone and climb up the ranks solely on their own abilities. The world of eunuchs is a world of fierceness that is different from that of ordinary officials who are supported by their families and supported by their fathers.
And with his friendliness and thoroughness in captivating people, he was the top eunuch, as well as the top of all officials.
It is certain that there may have been someone higher in rank than him, but there was no one who wielded more power than him. This was the result of having received more trust than the emperor's blood relatives, and thoroughly strengthening the emperor's imperial authority with that trust.
The voice of that unique figure is now becoming sharper.
“It wouldn’t have been that difficult, so what did you pay tribute to?”
“They say there was a tiger in Daehochae.”
“Wei Yan Ho?”
“Yes. The Wei Yanhu of the Guangdong Wei family…….”
Before the eunuch could finish his words, a cold sweat covered his forehead.
“Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho…….”
Nokki reached out and took a sip of the half-cold tea, then let out a low sigh.
“What a truly tedious fate. Wi Yeon-ho.”
Others may have heard the name Wei Yan Ho for the first time, but Nokki knew it very well.
'I guess I should call it a bad fate.'
Wasn't it Wi Yeon-ho who blew the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only get rid of the Hallym University Scholarship that he had been working so hard for, but also the thorn in his eye, the Censor-General?
After that, he went out into the world of martial arts and caused all sorts of troubles, and then he came back again to interfere with his work.
“Are you really saying that guy is the Censor General’s secret weapon?”
Is it possible for things to get this entangled without knowing what he was doing and deliberately interfering with it?
When he thought calmly about the information he had obtained so far about Wei Yanhu, he realized that Wei Yanhu was not a person who could gain the trust of the Censor-General.
It's shocking that the high-ranking censor, who prefers serious scholars, entrusted his personal belongings to such an uneducated and uneducated novice, but is he really giving him proper information and entrusting him with keeping his classmates in check?
'That could never happen.'
Nokki had absolute confidence in his own judgment.
Yi Wang-ya and Wi Yeon-ho were born not to get along.
No matter how outgoing Lee Wang-ya is, he is actually of royal descent. Those who do not know what the royal family is like may think that this is possible, but for Nok-gi, who has seen and understood the royal family up close, this is something he could not even imagine.
For them, who were so full of authority that they could even move a single finger, to trust an ignorant idiot who didn't even know the basics was harder than walking down the street unscathed after being struck by lightning.
“But still, we keep getting involved.”
The green tea pressed hard against his temple.
“So what happened to the tribute?”
“……It seems that he was taken prisoner by that Wei Yanho.”
“Prisoner…….”
The gap between Nokki's eyebrows narrowed.
'It's definitely different.'
There is no censorship to take the eunuchs of the same class as prisoners. This is because they know that no matter how much they worry and how much they threaten, they will never open their mouths. Therefore, when the censorship clashes with eunuchs, they choose to kill them or give up their hands.
The fact that he was taking Jo Gong prisoner was the greatest evidence that Wei Yanhu had no connection with the Censorate.
“Yes, what are you doing now that you have captured Jo-gong?”
“That, that…….”
Looking at the troubled eunuch, Nokki bit his lip. Knowing that he hated it when he trailed off, the fact that he did so meant that something very uncomfortable was happening.
“Don’t waste time. Time is gold.”
“The bastard is currently on his way to the capital with Jo-gong as a prisoner.”
“Going to Seoul?”
“Yes. Right now…….”
The eunuch bowed his head.
“I think he’s coming to Beijing.”
“Ugh.”
Nokki sighed deeply.
“Are you going to come into the cave on your own two feet? Is it to catch a tiger, or is there some other purpose?”
Nokki's face was distorted.
The only tiger he could catch in Beijing was himself. He felt his blood rushing to the tip of his head as he thought that Wei Yanhu might be coming to Beijing to attack him.
'That won't happen.'
Common sense tells you that it would be impossible for a mere mortal to attack him, who was trusted by the Emperor, even if he was protected by the Censor General.
“How could a mere puppy attack a tiger? The eunuch’s fame has already reached the heavens, and his dignity is wide across the earth, so no one in the world would dare…….”
“It’s noisy!”
“…….”

Nokki said, throwing the fan in his hand to the floor.
“Do not flatter me. All power falls from pride. If you treat such a trivial matter lightly and make fun of it, you may end up with a hole in the dam. Even a great dam can collapse from a small hole.”
“My thoughts were short-sighted.”
Even the eunuch who made the world's officials tremble in fear as the spirit of his classmate was nothing more than a powerless eunuch in front of Nokgi.
“Hit that guy.”
“Eunuch!”
“There’s no need to be anxious. You’re anxious because you don’t know how he’ll move. So you just have to kill him first. There’s nothing a dead guy can do.”
“Eunuch, that guy named Wi Yeon-ho is young, but his talents are said to be of the highest caliber. Among the forces we can control, there aren’t many that can handle him. Moreover……”
“I know what you mean.”
Green Gong's eyes lit up.
“If it’s not something you can do out loud, your options will be even narrower.”
Nokki sighed.
'They say even dog poop is useful if you want to use it as medicine.'
His adopted son, whom he had raised with great care for such a time as this, had recently disappeared without a trace.
Of course, considering the power and influence that Nokki had created, it was impossible for him to betray, but it was extremely annoying that he wasn't there when I needed him.
“There’s no other way. I have no choice but to use the Blood Command.”
“Tongue, you said blood spirit? But blood spirit…….”
“Every battle has its proper place. If you don’t have a proper knife to kill a chicken, you have to use a slaughter knife to cut off its head. Does that mean you have to keep watching the chicken cry because you don’t have a knife to kill it?”
“The eunuch’s words are correct.”
“Move the blood spirit. Do not let that guy named Wi Yeon-ho ever set foot in the palace. If he ever sets foot here, your head will be cut off before anyone else’s. Do you understand?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Get out.”
As the eunuch stepped back and asked cautiously, Nok Gong-gong ground his teeth.
“The rice is cooked and about to become rice…….”
Now, it was something that just needed to be done, but the fact that Wei Yanhu was heading to Beijing at this time was something that made Nokki feel very uncomfortable.
“If I don’t do this job properly, ‘He’ doesn’t know what he’ll do to me.”
Just thinking about him gave me goosebumps all over my body.
The people of the world do not know.
Whose world does this belong to?
Those who bowed down to the majesty of the emperor, who was nothing more than a puppet, and thought that the world that was revealed was all there was to the world, did not know the fear of Him who was the true ruler of this world.
'Foolish things.'
The current Central Plains is divided into several branches, and there are many weaklings secretly scheming among themselves to take over the Central Plains.
Nokki, who was aware of all their movements thanks to his classmates' intelligence, could not help but laugh at their foolish antics.
The world is already His, so how can it not be laughable that these fools are fighting without even knowing that fact?
“If only things go well in the palace…… He will reward me greatly…….”
“Fool.”
Just then, a voice came from behind him and Nokki froze like a stone. Nokki jumped up from his seat and fell flat on his face.
“Why did you seek the place of this lowly person?”
“I forgot.”
“…….”
“I guess I have forgotten you as I have been living in luxury in this rotten place called the palace.”
The moment he heard that emotionless voice, Nokki's body began to convulse.
“You are nothing more than a servant to Him. A servant should not expect anything from his master. It should be your joy to work for Him until your body is reduced to ashes. And now, dare you expect a reward from Him?”
“I, I was foolish. I forgot.”
The melting didn't make any excuses.
Excuses only deepen the sin. What He wanted was not sin, but deep reflection.
“I forgot for a moment that my body was meant only to be used as a means for His use. I dare ask that you punish me.”
“Fool.”
The red shadow that appeared in front of the green light spoke in a creepy voice.
“If you have sinned, you must wash away that sin. Listen. He wants you to move.”
“D, finally…….”
“Fulfill it with your life. No matter what happens. If you don’t, you will be neither dead nor alive.”
“I will definitely make it happen.”
“There are no second chances.”
After saying those words, the shadow disappeared without a trace.
Even though the shadow had disappeared, Nokki continued to tremble for a while without even raising his head.
'The time has come.'
The time has come for this long-awaited fruition to come to fruition.
The green dragon, who had quietly raised his body, pressed the lower part of Taesa's robe here and there.
Click.
The lower part of the Taesa's robe popped out with a strange sound. Nokki quietly pulled on the protruding part and took out a small wooden box containing it.
“Now the world will move according to His will.”
A creepy smile appeared on Nokki's lips.
