Chapter 348: You will help me (3)


    It was unbelievable. Chun Yeowun was left behind at the northern gate, but it seemed like he had been hiding by the carriage all along. It was hard to believe that Yeowun came in when Zhu Taikhan entered the carriage.


    NNNNNGH!


    [Can you use telepathic messages? I suppose you can.]


    Zhu Taikhan nodded. His mouth was forced to close, so his jaw was hurting. Thats when the energy that forced him to close his mouth disappeared.


    Ha Hah


    He could have breathed with his nose, but he was too fearful that he became pale and panted through his mouth.


    Dammit. I guess theres no point in screaming for help.


    He saw Chun Yeowuns monstrous power by his eyes. Yeowun was a monster who could wipe out the entire Imperial Army if he wanted to. Taikhan had to y along.


    What have I done to go through such trouble


    He didnt think he would suffer such an event when he left for the Demonic Cult. He was, after all, a King who had enormous political power.


    [S-since when did you get in the carriage?]


    [Its not been that long.]


    Yeowun answered vaguely and Zhu Taikhan misunderstood the truth.


    His power is like a god. He got on the carriage while all that people were watching?


    Zhu Taikhan thought Chun Yeowun got on his carriage when he opened the door to get on. But that wasnt true. Yeowun actually got in when the Imperial Guards were preparing to leave.


    [S-so, why did you get in my carriage?]


    Zhu Taikhan was afraid of getting on Yeowuns nerves, but he couldnt figure out why. Yeowun had declined to participate and the carriage was now going toward the Empires capital so there was no possible exnation. Yeowun answered.


    [Of course, Im going to the Imperial Pce with you.]


    [Im-Imperial Pce?]


    Zhu Taikhan became shocked. He couldnt even guess why a leader of one of the threergest factions of Yulin suddenly wanted to go to the Imperial Pce. And Zhu Taikhan was just too afraid of Chun Yeowun himself.


    I-is it because he heard me cussing him out?


    It was possible that Yeowun had be angry at Taikhan who had been cussing ever since the carriage departed. Zhu Taikhan spoke assuringly.


    [L-Lord Chun. If you are saying that because of what I said dont be too mad. I was just too sad since you cannote with me.]


    [I see, thats good. I almost got mad because I thought you hate me.]


    Ugh!


    Those were just simple words but it was enough to make Taikhan afraid. The words seemed to threaten that Yeowun might have done something if he felt hostility. Zhu Taikhan became lost for words.


    [Im sorry for spooking you by getting in the carriage, but I will consider it excused.]


    [O-of course!]


    Actually, it was Yeowun who was the rude one for sneaking into the carriage. But Zhu Taikhan was so concerned that his cussing would have made Yeowun ufortable that he agreed excitedly.


    Whew.


    Maybe he was quite nave. Yeowun then went into his purpose.


    [Let me cut to the chase. You will help me, your highness.]


    It wasnt a request for help. It was a disguised threat. Zhu Taikhan became dumbfounded but he was afraid of Yeowun, so he just frowned and did not reply.


    I am afraid of him, but the word of the Royal family should be heavy.


    Thats what Taikhan had learned every time from his father, the Emperor. The word of the Emperor and the Royal family was above thew, so the Emperor always made sure that all of the Royal family should watch their words.


    [W-what do you want me to do?]


    Yeowun became surprised at Taikhan who didnt just agree even when he was afraid.


    So, he still is in the royal family.


    Yeowun needed to persuade him. He needed Taikhans help at the pce.


    [I will need an exnation. Do you remember the person who impersonated you?]


    []


    Of course he remembered. It was that incident that made Taikhan afraid of Yeowun. The cult exined that Yuking was poisoned before they arrived at the cult and Yon Namgun agreed also, but no one was sure why the poisoning had been done.


    [Your highness, you said the de God Six Martial n will join this ceremony too?]


    [Yes.]


    [That dead man was a spy from the de God Six Martial n.]


    [W-what?!]


    Zhu Taikhan frowned at the unexpected piece of information from Yeowun. He was curious as to how Yuking was poisoned, but he still couldnt believe that a low-ranking official of the pce was actually a spy.


    [I will exin about what happened at the cult first.]


    Yeowun then began to exin a simplified version of how the de God Six Martial n appeared in Yulin, and the incidents that happened at the cult. Yeowun also told him the existence of a centipede that was embedded in the person to avoid spilling information.


    [By the gods they do that kind of thing just to prevent the information from being leaked?]


    Zhu Taikhan became shocked to know about the centipede. It was quite effective, but it seemed to be on the very extreme side.


    They are extremists.


    After an exnation, Yeowun went into the important issue at hand.


    [I asked you to help me, but this will help you too, your highness.]


    [Help me? How?]


    [Actually, there is still a spy remaining within your forces here besides that Yuking.]


    What! Y


    [Quiet!]


    Zhu Taikhan almost spoke out loud but quickly grabbed his mouth to stop. He was so shocked to hear that there had been a spy and that spy still remained within his forces.


    Is he lying? he thought, but there was no need for such a powerful man to lie about such a thing. If that was true, then Zhu Taikhan had to thank him.


    [If what you say is true, then we must arrest them!!]


    Taikhan didnt want to y on top of the hands of these spies any longer. Yeowun shook his head.
