Sung Im started to prepare. He heard reports from his spies that the company would return at dusk. The man smiled broadly at last the long-awaited day came as well.
" All right, all stand guard in each other's posts. I'll give you a sign that you can attack."
" Well, Mr. Sung Im."
Everything immediately prepares itself. Their total number is 30 people. Although not as much as the royal entourage but they are sure it will be easy to deal with it.
" It's not luck, one pat of two dead flies. The king and queen in one place it will be very easy to clean it up. Women will always be a hindrance."
On the other hand, Hyeon's entourage started moving to return to the palace. After returning to make sure that everything was neat they immediately began the journey to go home. Hyeon and Wool were in one carriage and Du Ho and Dae Jung were on horseback and on the front and side of Hyeon's carriage.
" Why is your face so, is there something wrong hmmm?"
Hyeon gently caressed Gyeo Wool's face. After last night together, their relationship seems to be getting better. But even so, Wool was still wary of Hyeon. He did not want to believe what Hyeon said. Wool will certainly prove it when later in the palace.
" I don't know, your majesty, I don't feel good. Something's gonna happen. But do I not know myself."
" Don't think too much. I'm sure everything's gonna be okay. We're going back to the palace. Sleep on."
Hyeon pulled Gyeo Wool's body and carried her into his arms. Hyeon kisses the head of his wife. He really felt something else in him right now. This taste is really much different type he with Da Eun. Da Eun Hyeon is not comfortable.
Hyeon closed his eyes for a moment. He also felt so tired.
Being in Ding county to solve the Flood problem was really draining his energy and mind. He also punished the county officials. And for a while he ordered some people to keep an eye on Ding County until he found someone right and worthy to be the leader there.
Tuplijt ... Tuplijt ...
The sound of horse-shoeing broke the silence of the night. Both Dae Jung and Du Ho squinted their eyes. As a personal bodyguard, of course, both of them have sharp instincts. Du Ho who was next to the second train walked forward aligning himself with Dae Jung.
" Dae Jung, do you feel like tonight seems a little strange?"
" Yes, like someone's stalking us."
Just now they finished saying an arrow shot towards them and managed to hit the chariot belonging to the king and queen. Both of them were shocked, even Hyeon and Wool who were on the train.
" Protect your majesty the king and the queen!"
Dae Jung shouted loudly at the command. All the soldiers immediately circled Hyeon's horse carriage. Inside Hyeon and Wool also took a wasapada stance. Even Hyeon instantly took the sword that he had indeed hidden in the horse carriage just in case.
" Dae Jung, Du Ho what happened!" hyeon asked who remained in the car.
" It seems we were attacked by the noble. You and the queen should be inside."
Dae Jung's explanation certainly made Hyeon and Wool look at each other. They have their own perceptions.
" Is this a robbery or a coup?"
" I don't know, I don't know my queen. We'll find out if we get away with this attack and bring them back alive for interrogation."
Wool nodded, looking for another sword in the carriage and took it. Of course Hyeon was surprised, for what his queen took his sword. Yes, Hyeon would usually carry both of his swords when going anywhere. As a king, Hyeon has a pretty good swordsmanship skills.
Understanding the meaning of Hyeon's gaze, Wool simply smiled knotfully. Raising his sword, the queen of Mae's country said softly to the king, "I borrowed your sword for a moment, Your Majesty."
Hyeon simply nodded, he really had no idea what Wool would do with that sharp object.
Although Hyeon is best friends with Kyung Sam and Jae Hwan, he never knew that Wool could use sharp weapons.
Pt ... Pt ... Tap
The sound of footsteps was clear. All prepared, they made sure that they were really attacked. Even the darts started hitting some soldiers.
Chauffe ... Arghhc ...
The cries of pain from some soldiers made Hyeon come out of his carriage as well. Dae Jung had forbidden it but he could no longer say anything when a horde of unknown people began to attack. They were all dressed in black and wearing face coverings.
Hiaaat
Shuut
Trains ... Traaaang
The sounds of swords clashing against each other all took their respective positions to fight back. Some soldiers look down. A whack of fatigue makes them lose a little focus and eventually easy to be paralyzed.
" You're inside Ge!"
Hyeon's orders were ignored by Gyeo Wool. Even now he was already standing behind Hyeon. Hyeon was certainly surprised, with the exit of Wool from the horse carriage it would make his focus divided.
" Focus your majesty!"
" How can I focus if you're here. If you get hurt how hah!"
Hyeon slightly shouted in annoyance to Wool. Really he didn't want Wool to get hurt. Not out of fear towards Kyung Sam, but in his heart he would absolutely not be able to see Wool get hurt later.
" His Majesty focus, otherwise the enemy's sword will pierce through your glorious skin."
Wool swung his sword agilely. Despite wearing a hanbook, Wool can move freely. Hyeon was certainly surprised, Wool's martial ability was so good. Now he calmed down a little and came back against the enemies.
" These people are so skilled. They're not a bunch of robbers."
Hyeon began to observe the pattern of the attacks they were displaying. One by one had the same attack pattern, this showed they were doing the exercises together as well
Dae Jung and Du Ho managed to make some of them fall to the ground. Sung Im who had just observed it was now out and directly faced Hyeon.
Hyeon grasped a different aura he could tell that person was the leader.
" Who are you, and who sent you?"
Behind the cover of his face Sung Im smiled cynically. He really wanted to be able to slash Hyeon's neck right now.
" You don't need to know who we are. All you need to know is I'm gonna kill you here, too."
Hiaaat
Shuq ... Trang ... Trang ...
Hyeon and Sung Im's fierce fight made Wool worry a little bit when Hyeon's body was cornered. Perhaps fatigue affected Hyeon's fighting ability.
" I have to help her."
