The Emperor's Prisoner

The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 29's


The sword in Li Jihyun's hand swung towards the vice's face. The tall, strong man fended him off with a sword. Li Jihyun's sword buzzed. His hands were trembling a little. He jumped back and stared fiercely at the opponent in front of him. "Too weak," the man sneered softly. Li Jihyun gritted her teeth as her hand held tightly to the sword. He was not ready to arrive yet when the man stepped forward.


"Damn!" when the man appeared before his eyes. He raised the sword trying to resist the attack from the man. The sound of sharp object friction sounded again. The two stared at each other fiercely. Li Jihyun's body was increasingly pushed by the vice's sword. The vice's strength was stronger than his.


The vice turned his sword again making Li Jihyun swiftly put on a defensive position. His sword was raised to hold the deputy's sabetage. Although there was a slight scratch on his neck. Almost, his mind tightened the grip. The deputy seemed determined to kill him.


"You can't fight me young man" the representative said in a dismissive tone. Li Jihyun's teeth chattered. The atmosphere becomes tense.


"Don't have too much fun, old man. We won't know who's holding up at the end. Am I or is it old man?" challenge Li Jihyun with a slanted smile.


"You'll regret the young man!" exclaiming the old man turned his sword and was about to cut the sword in Li Jihyun's hand. Deftly Li Jihyun jumped back. Then back forward. The sword in his hand was thrust forward. The man was already preparing to receive his attack. Li Jihyun smiled faintly.


As soon as he arrived in front of the man and was ready to attack. Li Jihyun jumped as high as an average adult. The man's head quickly looked up. The dazzling sunlight blocked Li Jihyun's hanfu fluttering. He swung the sword towards the man's neck.


But the representative actually swung the sword at the same time. They made their swords fight against each other again. Again they looked at each other. "You think I don't know that cheap trick?" said the representative smiled faintly. Li Jihyun clucked. He once again jumped back. His brain thinks fast.


His opponent is very difficult to face. He could neither continue to avoid nor endure. The only way is to attack. But looking from the movements of his opponent there was no gap in sight. Precisely his sword movement is perfect. In contrast to Li Jihyun who was trying to compensate for the vice's strength.


Damnit damnit! I should have listened to Uncle Gong's advice. But I can't give up. I should be able to! li Jihyun's determination was inward. He took a breath. Once he stepped forward. The sword in his hand flashed in the sunlight.


His movements were so fast that the sound of his footsteps could not be heard. The representative stared warily. His hand held the sword tightly. He grinned widely as he watched Li Jihyun erode the distance between them. The vice sword was moving straight after the vital organs in Li Jihyun's body. But he just lowered his body. The man was surprised, he had not yet dodged. Li Jihyun's sabre hit the man's thigh. Blood seeped out.


The sound of pain was heard. Not wanting to lose an opportunity. Li Jihyun continued to advance. His sword swung quickly making the man also fend off quickly. The audience cheered watching the fierce match. Even the originally uninterested commander was now watching with unblinking eyes.


He's more powerful than I thought, the inner commander rubbed his chin. His eyes still continued to pay attention to his second match.


The representative took a breath and exhaled softly. His eyes focused on the front. Once again he took a breath and shot forward. In one breath he faced Li Jihyun.


Li Jihyun was aghast in shock until her body froze. The sword in the vice's hand was already in plain sight. He shifted his body slightly and hit the man's stomach. But it was not an ordinary blow but a tootokan style that he had learned in his previous life.


The man's eyes widened to feel pain in his stomach. Not that even his right leg was like losing control. Feels very helpless. His movements also slowed down. Li Jihyun had not yet pulled her hand. With a quick movement, the representative pierced Li Jihyun's arm with a sword.


The sword pierced through his hand until blood flowed profusely. The representative chuckled triumphantly. But it was not the ringing seen on his face. He jusru features a flat face and shows no pain. The representative was hit to see him. "You-You ...." Li Jihyun smiled widely.


"Goodbye loser" he said coldly and thrust the sword into the man's heart. The man also lost his life. His eyes wide. All the spectators were silent. The atmosphere turned silent at once gripping. So too with the commander.


Li Jihyun pulled her sword from the man's heart. Make the man's body fall over the pool of blood. He also pulled out the sword that stuck in his arm. Blood spurted on his face and hanfu. He exhaled a rough breath. Waving the blood attached to that hanfu. He was strangled to see a tear. Hanfu belongs to Yona. Newly used even damaged, his mind is upset.


"This time the winner is Mr. Jin" said the referee sounded out loud. The sound of cheers was heard from the audience seats. Li Jihyun rubbed her sweaty chin mixed with blood. His eyes glanced at the commander who was looking at him full of anger. But Li Jihyun did not care now that she could prove it to Long Jian. That he deserves to go to war. "Now come with me inside. You have to rest first before continuing the match again" said referee Li Jihyun.


Long Jian who had since noticed the fight smiled faintly. Eunuch Bo who had been behind him shuddered in horror. But the fight is not about life and death. But seeing Long Jian's interested gaze made eunuch Bo fret. His Majesty must have deliberately allowed Zhagyi to kill Jin. This is just an ordinary match. But seeing Jin being able to handle it, the noble became more and more interested, inner eunuch Bo.


"Eunuch Bo gave him new clothes," Long Jian told the surprised eunuch Bo. But the 50-year-old man nodded.


"Your highness," he immediately left Long Jian sitting on the chair above the balcony. His eyes looked at Li Jihyun who was walking into the palace to change into clothes. Even Li Jihyun was also staring at him. Their eyes met but Li Jihyun just smiled mockingly. It was not that angry Long Jian precisely smirked widely.


Jin somehow you're just as attractive as my concubine. It was a pity that he could not watch this exciting match, the inner Long Jian propped up his chin. Li Jihyun's body had already disappeared entering the palace door. His gaze now turned to look at the commander approaching his deputy who was lying on the ground.


The soldiers who were there took his body away. Their faces showed sadness. But in contrast to that commander who seemed to hold a grudge against Li Jihyun. Long Jian smiled widely. This time the entertainment is more exciting than ever.
