Chapter: 693
“It is time to hunt down all the rats.”
At the end of her words, the eyes of countless human figures flickered deep inside the bamboo forest.
Enclosed in the dark sky, the shining full moon was covered by the clouds.
It was still early in the evening when the entire Imperial Palace was lit up. There were numerous buildings located inside the Dragon Palace, beginning with the Empress and the concubines’ Palace, and through the buildings intended for the bureaucrats that are located just at the right spot for work.
A castle on the Eastern side was where the eunuchs of the Eastern Spear live. It is located not far from their dining area. There were about ten people heading towards the innermost section of the east.
Nine of them were all dressed as East Spear eunuchs, and one was wearing a military officer’s uniform inlaid with gold, it was Chun Yeowun.
Flinch!
The eunuchs who were walking along the path would look into Chun Yeowun’s eyes and flinched at his gaze. Everything went well according to Dae Dung-Du’s narrative. But, all were still afraid of the said ridiculous ability that Chun Yeowun possessed.
‘I am not sure if I can take down this person.’
The remaining nine eunuchs shuddered at the thought of how Chun Yeowun killed Yoon Baek Ho. It was hard to believe that Chun Yeowun had the capability to do that. Not realizing what these ten people were going through, someone enthusiastically stated: “The institute will be greatly pleased to know that a master like him is giving us a hand, Hohoho.”
Unlike the other eunuchs, Dae Dang-Du was excited at the thought that he managed to do something for once. He thought that he would be greatly appreciated since he managed to invite a Supreme Master Warrior, which no one had ever achieved.
‘So noisy.’
It was the first time that Chun Yeowun had come across someone who was as talkative as Hu Bong. He tried to ignore the words, but it was difficult to disregard that screeching laugh. As he was getting vexed, he came close to a building. It seemed like that was where the East Spear’s eunuchs stayed and worked.
“Over there.”
A large structured manor was seen at the place where Dae Dang-Du had pointed towards. Even within the Imperial Palace, such manor is still considered to be on a huge scale. It proved how inexorable the power of the East Spear has.
‘That manor could accommodate two to three thousand people.’
It seemed like the words which said that the Imperial Palace of the Daemyeong Empire was overflowing with eunuchs wasn’t false at all.
He followed Dae Dang-Du to the entrance of the manor.
Reaching the entrance, Dae Dang-Du asked the guards who watched over the place.
“Did the Gong-Gong return yet?”
“He hasn’t come back yet.”
“It is getting late.”
Normally, he would retire and return before it got dark. But the fact that the person hadn’t come seemed to be related to his workload.
‘Was it because His Highness had just returned?’
Even if that wasn’t the case, it was said that Zhu Taikhan had returned after completing the order for the envoy.
“Then Lord Oh must not have come back yet too.”
“Yes.”
It was expected. Lord Oh has always been complimented by East Spear’s commander, Im Gong-Gong. Thus, he could be considered as the right arm of the commander. His absence meant that he was still working.
‘Ahh...’
Dae Dang-Du glanced at Chun Yeowun, who was standing next to him. He insisted that he would be recommended to Im Gong-Gong right away, but the man himself wasn’t even present.
