Chapter: 1919

�Was it attacked?�

�Well� um��

The subordinate hesitated, unable to answer.

�Why can�t you answer?�

�They� they said it�s because the boat collided with a huge serpent.�

�What the��

�That�s what the survivors are saying. They say it was truly a gigantic serpent�!�

�Are those bastards making up stories after mistakenly running into a reef?

�It�s not just one or two people. All the survivors are saying the same thing, so it doesn�t seem entirely false.�

�What? I�ll ask those bastards myself.�

Bok Seong-wan abruptly stood from his throne.�

Whatever the reason, the sinking of a Changjiang Fortress ship was not a usual matter.

He had to find out the reason himself.

As Bok Seong-wan walked, his son, Bok Hojin, came into sight.�

Bok Hojin was dressed in splendid attire.

Bok Seong-wan knew that his son would be dressed like that whenever he was going ashore.

Bok Seong-wan scolded his son,�

�One of our ships has just sunk. Where do you think you�re going? Are you out of your mind?�

�I�m sorry, Father! But Zhao Yiguang asked to see me.�

�Zhao Yiguang?�

�Yes! It seems like he�s worried about the sudden collapse of the Sword Blossom Pavilion and Cheolsan manor. That�s why he wanted to meet and discuss countermeasures with me.�

Bok Seong-wan�s anger subsided upon hearing Bok Hojin�s response.

If that was the reason, then of course it was right for him to go to see Zhao Yiguang.�

�Alright. I will investigate the matter about the sunken boat, so you go meet him.�

�Thank you, Father, I�ll go then.�

After Bok Hojin bid farewell to Bok Seong-wan, he boarded the boat.

The boat he boarded quickly departed from the pier.

�The Lord is on board. Open the gate!�

The boatman shouted loudly.

Since wooden walls had been built around the pier, the only way to get out was for the gate to be opened.� JrNovels.com
