Episode 372
Yu Army sortie (2)
Five days later.
Prince Moyong visited the military department.
“Are you here?”
“Are you busy?”
“it’s okay. “Say what you have to say.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes became sharp.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“At this meeting, you proposed postponing the election until next year and jointly retaining troops.”
“I did.”
“Are Yeongaju and Danggaju going to order you to hit a player?”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“Is that possible? “I took the initiative on my own.”
Prince Moyong was puzzled.
Originally, it was he who presented this agenda at the Bonggong meeting. However, Zhuge Wenhu brought it out first and strongly recommended it.
Moyong-gun and the party members who originally wanted it all voted in favor. However, Prince Moyong could not help but be dumbfounded.
“Why on earth is that like that?”
“You mean the one you suggested first?”
“exactly. There was no need for a smart person like you to take on responsibility and risk such losses.”
This proposal was bound to carry political burden in many ways.
Zhuge Li, who was wary of Prince Mo Yong, did not have to bear that burden alone.
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“It’s not a matter of taking responsibility or not. “I was intrigued by the proposal and thought this was the right path.”
“why?”
“I think Mr. Moyong is a dangerous person. But before that, Moyong Gaju is also clearly a member of the Bonggong clan. “If this agenda had been brought up by the head of the Moyong family, it is highly likely that a pointless fight would have broken out regardless of the effectiveness of this proposal.”
“….”
“This is a problem that this person, a soldier, can bear. “There is no scheming, so you don’t have to worry.”
Moyong thought that that could never be possible.
Of course, Zhuge Munho is a man who would sacrifice his life for the public good and the Murim Alliance. However, in this case, it was too much of a loss.
‘There must be something there.’
Did you read Moyong’s thoughts?
Zhuge Wenhu said in a calm voice.
“In the eyes of a good person, the drink given by the other person will appear as a favor, and in the eyes of an evil person, the drink offered by the other person will appear as a poisonous cup.”
“….”
“I know that the head of the Moyong family may be surprised, but please rest assured that I really have no special intentions.”
“Can I trust you?”
“Even if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing we can do. Furthermore, I understand that now is not the time to worry about such things.”
Zhuge Wenhu waved a document.
“This is a matter to be proposed to the public meeting tomorrow. “It means that we must unite the Tangma Murderous Army and send it to the central plain as soon as possible.”
“….”
“As the adult of the Murim Alliance and the head of the Honam Moyong family, who hate foreign enemies so much, I hope that you will provide great help to those who will soon be setting off to war.”
Prince Mo Yong, who was looking at Zhuge Munho, nodded.
“I will tell you what I think at the meeting tomorrow.”
“Go ahead.”
“Now that we’re here, let’s ask one more question. “I know you are secretly investigating the communists. Have you got the results?”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“There are no convincing results yet. Just…”
“Just?”
“The probability that the shaman Seunghyeonjinin joined hands with the three religions is extremely low. “Of course, I’m not sure yet.”
Mo Yong nodded his head. Because it seemed like that too.
“However, in the unlikely event that their actions occur during the war, we have selected a few people with the highest probability.”
“Who is that?”
Zhuge Wenhu looked at Mo Yong in silence.
Mr. Moyong said with a frustrated face.
“You don’t trust me. I have a military mentality, but at least I hate them…”
“It’s not that I don’t trust the head of the family in that regard. “I’m just being cautious.”
“Are you being careful?”
Zhuge Wenhu closed his mouth again and just stared at Mo Yong.
Moyong-gun, who was about to say something out of frustration, opened his eyes wide when a sudden thought occurred to him.
“…Are you really a member of our party?”
“That’s right. “To be exact, one of the most likely ones is over there.”
“Who is that?”
“I can’t tell you.”
Zhuge Wenhu was resolute.
“I haven’t told anyone about this yet. This is an issue that requires careful consideration. “If there is a Se-jak in the middle of the war and he thinks that an investigation has begun against him, he will never be able to catch him in the future.”
“….”
“At least I told you that I was one of the party members. “In that respect, Gaju Moyong is not a person who can make mistakes, is she?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
Zhuge Wenhu said with a sigh.
“Crucially, this is literally just a possibility. “If by chance there is Sejak among the Bonggongs, there is a high possibility that it is there, but I am not necessarily suspecting it to be Sejak.”
“….”
“I will take care of the internal affairs, so please leave that to me and do what you need to do in your position. “It is a path that is beneficial to everyone.”
“I received good advice.”
“I’ll say it again. Don’t be rash. “Trying to find out more or setting traps is absolutely prohibited.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes became sharp.
“If the head of the family does something like that, then we will charge you with any crime and put you in prison.”
It wasn’t just something I said. Zhuge Liang was really thinking like that.
The weight and sincerity that emanated from those words were something that not even the world’s greatest military commander could take lightly.
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“Promise me. “I will definitely let this person know the moment I am sure about Sejak.”
“You mean this? Not only will I inform the head of the family, but I will also inform everyone I know about this incident. Do not worry.”
“I understand.”
Prince Moyong left the office.
Zhuge Wenhu, who had maintained a stern expression, sighed softly and buried his back in his chair.
“If I keep this up, my hair will turn gray in less than five years.”
The military often cared more about external affairs than internal affairs.
However, Zhuge Lianghu worked hard in his internal and external affairs without distinction. He is also quick and accurate in handling his work, so he can be said to be the number one contributor to the Murim Alliance’s growth without any problems.
However, now it was necessary to deal with not only the enemies of foreign powers but also the possible presence of Sejak and the relationship between Duke and Duke. Really, I am living a daily life that would be lacking even ten bodies.
Zhuge Wenhu was lost in thought.
‘This strengthens my influence and allows me to attract everyone’s attention.’
The reason he overruled Moyonggun’s proposal and proposed it at the meeting was to increase his political influence.
If Moyong-gun proposes it, it becomes a fight, but if the military proposes it, it becomes a serious discussion. And since there are many people who will support this proposal, eventually the leadership election will be postponed by a year and the two Confucian armies will be merged into one.
If such a big deal is accomplished, Zhuge Li’s influence will inevitably become stronger. Naturally, the gaze of the feudal lords could not help but be focused on Zhuge Li.
That was what Zhuge Liang was aiming for.
‘If, by any chance, there is a real Sejak among the Dukes, they will be watching me the most.’
I didn’t care about that. No, rather, it had to be done.
This is because when the enemies focus on me, their allies and rare monsters will move secretly to defeat the enemy.
That was the reason why Zhuge Wenhu took the initiative by stealing the opinion of Emperor Mu Yong.
“…by the way.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
“Are they really Sejak?”
Zhuge Wenhu was not a man with time to spare. After doing some research, if I realized that no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense, I would have stopped researching.
But surprisingly, as I was investigating the workers, people who were suspicious began to appear one by one.
‘Are they all Sejak? Or maybe one of them is Sejak? If they are Sejak, why have they kept their mouths shut until now? Of course, we moved without the Dukes’ knowledge, but even taking that into account, it was very quiet.’
Zhuge Wenhu, who thought for a while, shook his head.
‘no. Let me also not think about useless things. The investigation comes first now. It’s not too late to worry later on about why it should have been like this and why it wasn’t like that.’
What is important is that the Three Religions are such a dangerous group that we have to consider the possibility that they turned the Murim League’s Bong Gong into a three-stroke.
“Really…”
Zhuge Wenhu couldn’t help but sigh.
“How is this powerhouse going to work?”

“Keueuung.”
Mukbi clicked his tongue as he looked at Yeon Ho-jeong, moaning and massaging her shoulder.
“The neighborhood book is finished, really.”
“Noisy. You should have seen that martial arts performance in person. “I was really lucky that I didn’t cross the Nether Road.”
“Then you just don’t have to deal with them.”
“Hey, look at these cool weapons. Since I received such a big gift, shouldn’t I repay the favor properly?”
“You’re funny. Also, he must have been so excited that he went out to receive it himself, but ended up crawling on the ground covered in blood.”
It was a speech that left me speechless. And that was true too.
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Anyway, I’m glad it ended like this.”
“You’re changing your tune.”
“sick. “Let’s do it in moderation.”
“Doing everything in moderation is my opinion.”
“Why are you so picky?”
“What am I? If I’m really picky, I don’t say anything. “Take up your bow.”
“Oh my…”
“So don’t hesitate, put on your armor and come out! “You soldiers are waiting for you!”
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled at Mukbi’s pointed cry.
“There is no superior to this. Okay, just wait a moment.”
After a while.
Yeonhojeong appeared wearing the light armor of the commander of the Mortal Army.
Unlike usual, the round dragon chain was worn on the right waist belt, and the black and white double dragon belt, which was a gift from the official, was worn diagonally on the waist.
Yeon Ho-jeong appeared there, carrying the Gwangryongbu on his shoulder. Indeed, for the first time in a long time, he was showing his appearance as a military commander.
Mukbi slapped his shoulder and urged him.
“Go quickly, quickly.”
“Oh, be gentle. It’s not fully healed yet. But don’t you have anything to say?”
“Why are you riding a horse because you did something well? “Run!”
“Three punishment.”
Paaaaang!
The two people ran out with a cool new method.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“What about you, brother?”
“I will be waiting. You know? Commander Moyong’s personality. “He must have tightened his military discipline to quell the dissatisfaction of his soldiers.”
“Well, that guy is good at that.”
“By the way, Master.”
“The position is vacant.”
“Are we going on a campaign?”
“You’re not listening.”
“Answer me. Are you going to go to war as soon as we join the joint forces? “There were rumors like that going around everywhere.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Not right away, but sooner or later. The founding ceremony is just a founding ceremony. “We need at least some time to coordinate with each other.”
“Anyway, I’m going to go.”
“why? Are you excited?”
“well?”
Mukbi quenched his appetite.
“Well, it’s more fun to go to Gangho than to be in the Murim Alliance.”
“If we go out, a fight will inevitably break out. Blood and death will flow. “You shouldn’t like things like that anymore.”
“I don’t like it. “I just think that if someone else has to do it, it’s better for me to do it.”
The two people who were having a long conversation soon arrived at a huge training hall.
There was a huge army of five hundred and fifty people lined up there.
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.
Mukbi asked with a smile.
“Are you nervous?”
“I see. This makes me so nervous.”
“That’s needlessly honest.”
“Kkkkkkkkkkk.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was smiling strangely like an old man, tapped his cheek.
“Let’s go.”
