I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 177

Episode 177: The Unification of the Central Plains of Myeonggyo

After finishing my conversation with my father, I fell asleep for two hours again, then woke up and went outside.

‘Are you okay?’

‘It’s nothing.’

‘It would be better to rest a little more… … .’

The ghost seemed to have taken my words as a courtesy, but it really didn’t have much trouble moving.

It just stings a little.

I didn’t really have any doubts since I was born, but even if my flesh was cut off enough to show my bones, my body recovered in no time.

The East also failed to clearly explain this and simply dismissed it as a reflex reaction of the pulse, but the exact reason is unknown.

“Are you up already? You should rest more… … .”

An old man I met while walking down the hallway spoke to me with a pale expression.

At the same time, the corners of my mouth went up.

“Left-handed.”

Left-handed Lee Soon.

A person who has no one to lean on, and cannot do anything on his own.

Just by looking at his expression, you can tell what he’s feeling.

I’m just scared and worrying about myself.

I took a step closer and spoke to her affectionately.

“How have you been?”

“Yes, Your Majesty… … .”

“I saw Usa a while ago… … and suddenly I thought of Sa. I was wondering how you were doing.”

“It’s been… … classy.”

As I stared blankly, the pupils of the left-handed man shook and he slightly turned his head away.

I stood next to him and spoke coldly.

“It would be better for your Majesty to be more formal.”

“… … .”

“They say that the more rice ripens, the more it bows its head. But keep in mind. When rice ripens, it is time to cut it down. You should always live quietly, as if you are there but not there, without standing out.”

“I will keep that in mind….”

I left the left-wing minister with a face as frozen as ice, laughed at him, and walked out of Gwangmyeong Palace.

When they were tied together under the name of Gwangmyeong Owi, they might have been able to fully play their role between the military and the intelligence.

Left alone, he is nothing more than a weaker fool and more incompetent than a soldier.

Someone who isn’t even worth caring about.

Squeak.

As I stepped outside, pure white snow greeted me.

The day when the sun sets is not far away. The ghost’s memories are not completely intact, but one thing is certain.

The year I turned sixteen.

That I was facing death.

As I stared blankly at the sky in untimely confusion, a dark bat umbrella spread out and obscured the fluttering snowflakes.

It was a bison and a black hawk.

I lowered my head and looked around, and saw Dongbang and her too.

“Little Master… … .”

Yuwol Gyeonsomi. She was waiting for me with pitiful eyes.

“I thought you were going to be a wanderer after saying hello. What’s going on here?”

“Little Master… … .”

I didn’t have to listen any further to see what she wanted to say.

Guilt, sorrow, and desperation were clearly visible on every face.

“Let’s just walk for a bit. You don’t have to follow me. It won’t take long.”

I left a word for Bisaiq and Heukgwijo and walked towards the garden surrounding Gwangmyeong Palace.

From behind, Dongbang pushed Yuwol, telling her to hurry and go, and she quickly followed behind.

When I started to distance myself from everyone without any conversation,

Yuwol stood still and fell to her knees.

“Little Master… … . I have one question for you.”

“Ask.”

“My brother… … did that happen?”

Although I don’t know the exact circumstances, it seems that Yuwol also guessed.

What Kyeonryeo did to me.

She must have received the same offer when she met Banya too.

I answered bluntly without hiding anything.

“If you want to live, you’d better give up. If you want to save your life.”

“iced coffee…….”

Tears fell from Yuwol’s eyes, and he fell to the floor in despair.

Her indescribable frustration is clearly conveyed in her trembling shoulders.

“How… … Why… … .”

Her questions, full of pathos, will probably continue for the rest of her life.

But what’s done is done. There’s no turning back.

“Wouldn’t it be better to hurry and look for him at this hour? After I die, I won’t even be able to say hello.”

“Sigh… … Huh… … . Master… … .”

I walked away, leaving the sobbing Yuwol behind.

Her melody echoed for a while beyond my back, and I turned back to look at the Black Demon and the East.

“I will return to the Somyeong Palace.”

Dongbang lowered his head with a bitter expression, and the black ghost followed me, protecting me.

*Myeonggyo Ilbong Somyeonggung

After returning to Somyeong Palace, several more days passed.

Dongbang went back after making a fuss about taking care of my intermittent withdrawal symptoms, and the Black Ghosts, led by Yogwiwon, went out to look for Gyeonryeo. Bisaeik stayed behind alone to guard the palace.

Yaryutak became very quiet as if he had hit a wall of climax.

Thanks to that, the Somyeong Palace was quiet, and with some free time, I devoted myself to searching for a method of destruction while reviewing the martial arts books I had seen at the Cheonma Library.

Just memorizing it and realizing it are two different things.

Is it because you have talent, or is the problem just too easy?

There were some results.

By the time I got used to that boring routine.

A guest came to Somyeong Palace.

“How have you been? Haha!”

He was the eldest son of Sangjae Palace and a genius.

The guy was lying face down on his back, dressed in a shabby manner like a peddler, his back full of odds and ends.

I heard that you were running a business traveling between the Central Plains and Tian Shan, so it looks like you’ve been quite busy.

“So-so.”

“I heard the story. Usagi has become a wreck and is living in seclusion. And there is no more talk of the Little Leader in the Palace of Hwanhee. You are truly amazing. My eyes were not wrong. Haha!”

“You didn’t come here to tell embarrassing old stories, did you? What’s going on?”

“You are too much. I wanted to see my lord as soon as possible, so I climbed Cheonsan Mountain and ran straight there.”

“The louder the guy, the less trustworthy he is.”

“Haha! Shin Genius, you may look flashy on the outside, but you’re full of energy on the inside. Anyway, now that you’ve gotten the hang of the story of the Great Heavenly Emperor, shouldn’t you start making contact with the Bigung?”

The genius’ eyes lit up. He had gained both profit and fame, so he was telling me to make them my people one by one.

If things were to go according to plan, that would be right, but… … .

“There’s something I need to take care of first. You spread the rumor that I’m living in the unmarried mountain.”

“No, what do you mean? A mountain for singles?”

Judging from the fact that the genius didn’t know, it seemed like the Palace of Hwanhee had been keeping a close eye on him.

It could be a means to keep my mouth shut.

But it’s a waste of time.

“I said to you before that I was a heavenly palace.”

“Yes… … . It definitely was.”

“The Heavenly Palace is a group of people who hide in the mountains and act in secret. It is hard to imagine how powerful they are, and even my father could not easily expel them.”

The genius opened his mouth and started rambling nonsense, and I waited in silence until he calmed down.

And then he continued leisurely.

“Catching them comes first. The leader’s position comes later. So, you do as I say and spread the rumor first.”

“No… … . Even if that’s true, why do you insist on taking that risk alone? It would be better to discuss this publicly and have everyone come together… … .”

“Those who are blinded by their own selfish desires will do well. It is better now than getting involved in an unpredictable situation.”

“However… … .”

I cut him off and shook my head.

And said.

“Once you’re done with this, you should strengthen your power in the Central Plains. Cheongung has extended his reach to Hwasan, Jongnam, Jegal Se, and Namgung Se. The Moorim Alliance must also be decaying.”

“Is that all? Then let’s report to the Murim Alliance immediately… … .”

“There’s no need for that. No one would believe me if I told them, and also… … .”

I took a deep breath and continued speaking in a low tone.

“It’s the same thing that needs to disappear.”

The genius’ eyes shook violently, and an atmosphere of shock flowed.

“What on earth are you trying to do?”

“After finishing Cheonsan, we will go to the Central Plains using Cheongung as an excuse. That’s when we will move the Secret Palace and the Elders’ Council. Whether we want it or not, we will be involved. Until then, you must find evidence that they are in collusion with Cheongung.”

“Could it be… … that you were looking at what I thought you were looking at? Since when… … .”

I nodded my head, staring blankly at the genius statue in astonishment.

How do I, a person with a weak constitution, survive here in Cheonsan?

It’s making a fuss into a bigger fuss.

The country is so central that no one can escape from it.

right.

It is a long-cherished wish, something that the palace and the elders can never refuse.

The unification of the Ming and Zhongyuan.

It was the royal family and the martial arts alliance that called the Myunggyo a demonic sect and drove them into a corner as traitors who must be eliminated.

However, this was possible because there was support from the people.

If the true nature of the Heavenly Palace is revealed to the world and the Murim Alliance is destroyed using this as an excuse… … .

It will be an opportunity to escape the barren mountains and settle in the fertile Central Plains.

The imperial family will also need a place to maintain order behind the scenes, so they will not be able to easily drive out the Ming school that has taken over the Central Plains.

“New genius. I will serve you until the day I die. Seonghwailshin Myeonggyocheonha… … .”

The genius statue bowed three times in a neat posture and withdrew.

From the moment Anonymous approached me.

Or, from when the soldier died.

No, maybe from the day I was born and met the quantum world in my dreams.

It may have been fate.

‘… … .’

The evil spirit stirred the flames without saying a word.

Is it regret for the decaying Murim Alliance? Or is it frustration at the reality that nothing can be done?

If your memory serves me right, I’m definitely going to die soon.

but.

That’s just your memory, it’s just an illusion.

It is something that does not exist in my time, and it will not happen.

As I looked out the window, the snowstorm was falling mercilessly, turning the ground white.

A sense of indescribable silence hangs over us.

Finally, the person I had been waiting for finally came here.

The azaleas are crawling out between the snowflakes as if looking for someone.

The owner of the palace is anonymous.

He arrived at the palace of Somyeong.

*As I went outside, there he was, looking down at me in the gloomy sky with not a single cloud in sight due to the fluttering snow.

“Is this your true self?”

A golden mask and a magnificent robe.

Even the atmosphere was clearly different.

Even the fluttering snowflakes passed by without fail, perhaps sensing his pressure.

“cotton.”

I chuckled and looked around. The fog had formed a barrier, as if only he and I existed in this space.

“No, should I call you the Master of the Heavenly Palace?”

[[Little Leader Ma Cheon So.]]

Hwaaaaak! The whole world turns white as if a ray of light is shooting out, and my body floats up as if I’ve lost control.

It wasn’t just me. The old trees and ornaments planted in the garden all came to mind as byproducts.

Whether it was sorcery or martial arts, everything was powerless before it, and the human power of this land was of no use.

[[You always surprise me. I thought you were born with a fate that would lead to a short life… … but you survived and came this far.]]

There is clearly admiration in the tone, but it is rude and ill-mannered to be seen as taking the initiative.

I hardened my expression and spoke coldly.

“Let’s put the exclamation aside. So… … what’s the conclusion?”

I passed all the tests he gave me, but Banya tried to kill me, and my father intervened.

As we waited silently for his answer, the sound of the Six Combatants’ bell rang out again.

[[But that is all. You have brought him to you at a time when he should not have come. The threshold will soon collapse, and that is why you must disappear.]]

“haha!”

I burst into laughter at the anonymous, unequivocal execution notice.

I had some hope, but it was as expected.
