Episode 1000.
When I put it down, I saw the sky (17)
“Has the leader come?”
“hmm.”
“Please sit down.”
Zhuge Literary was not surprised by the sudden appearance of a public ambassador.
Zhuge Yan hurriedly brought out the tea and left the office.
The ambassador said nothing until the teacup was placed on the table.
Zhuge Wenhu looked at his expression.
Calm and relaxed. It was difficult for even the military leader in charge of the Murim Alliance to read something in the expression of the current ambassador.
“Please eat.”
“It’s not bad.”
For a moment, I thought he was talking about Dahyang.
The ambassador added, raising his teacup.
“It’s not bad, but it looks too dangerous.”
Only then did Zhuge Munhao realize that what the Gonggong ambassador was saying was referring to issues related to Yeonhojeong.
“It’s dangerous.”
“I believed my soldier would have his own thoughts, so I didn’t ask any questions.”
“yes. I know.”
“The feeling is still the same. “You will know that it is not because I am not interested in my work.”
“of course.”
“However, what Sobuju did must have happened because he received permission from the military, and a little while ago, Sobuju heard a report that Prince Namgung was heading to the side.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
“I also heard it right before the Lord Maeng came.”
Ambassador Gong Gong, who was calmly looking at Zhuge Li, put down his teacup again.
Put it down without even drinking it. There was no change in the once expressive face of the public ambassador.
Although Zhuge Literary would not blink an eye even if any expert in the world was in front of him, he could not help but feel nervous in front of such a public ambassador.
“Military.”
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
“Are you trying to scare me?”
This is it.
This was proof that Ambassador Gong Gong was not just strong in martial arts and had a good personality, but also had an insight as good as anyone else.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded obediently.
“That’s right.”
I will endure any unpleasant orders that come my way.
Zhuge Wenhu composed himself.
At that time, the ambassador sighed and said.
“I will play that role.”
“…yes?”
“That’s what I’m doing.”
“Lord Hawk.”
Zhuge Wenhu was rarely embarrassed.
The ambassador shook his head and continued.
“I realized what the soldier was thinking after seeing Sobuju’s actions. “If Sobuju had tried to handle this situation flexibly, he would not have headed directly to Jeokchangmun.”
“….”
“The leader can change. But the military cannot be changed. “As long as that ability doesn’t decline.”
“Lord. But…”
“Meng Juyu (盟主位) is not just a sack of barley. “It’s not just a position to rule.”
The ambassador’s eyes were deep and clear.
“It’s not my place to fulfill my responsibilities.”
He was a person who knew how to say things like this.
Of course, I already knew. I knew it, but hearing those words right in front of me made me cry for no reason.
but.
“No, Lord Maeng.”
“….”
“You are the master of the Murim Alliance and one of the two axes of the black and white alliance. A person like that has this stigma…”
“Did you say it was a stigma?”
At that moment, the ambassador’s eyes became sharp.
“For me, the stigma is acting without properly understanding the physical condition of my subordinates, and then being told later that I was unable to manage them.”
“…!!”
“I knew that the soldier’s body was greatly weakened. But if I had known it was that bad, I would have risked everything to let her rest until it healed.”
“…Lord.”
“The head of the Moyong family explained it to me.”
Zhuge Wenhu gritted his teeth.
“Gaju Moyong was angry with me. To be honest, I endured it because he was the leader. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been surprised by the sword attack.”
“That much…”
“And Moyongaju’s anger is natural. “Who wouldn’t be angry?”
“Lord.”
“In the end, it was my fault. I should have looked more closely and paid more attention. However, if you had been aware of your importance, I think you could have given me at least a hint.”
The public ambassador was angry for the first time. It was even scarier and more powerful because it was an anger expressed with a calm face and a calm voice.
And that anger was directed at himself. Zhuge Wenhu was not angry; he was just a little disappointed.
“If everyone is willing to take responsibility for each other, the future of the organization will be brilliant. However, if there is no proper communication, even if each person does well, it will always fall apart.”
“….”
“Let’s talk a lot and take responsibility for each other.”
Zhuge Mun-ho, who was watching the public ambassador with trembling eyes, lowered his head.
“I couldn’t understand the lord’s feelings. Please forgive me.”
“It is up to me to ask for forgiveness.”
It’s not an empty-nester, it’s me. Just from that expression, you could tell how much the public ambassador was hurt by this incident.
He held out an item wrapped in red cloth from his arms.
“Take it.”
“…What is this?”
“It’s a leader’s order. Please eat here.”
“Lord?”
“hurry.”
Zhuge Mun-ho, who was quietly watching the public ambassador, untied the cloth.
Inside the cloth was a golden herb with no scent.
“this is…?”
“Drink.”
Zhuge Munho, who was quietly looking at the public ambassador, put a herbal medicine in his mouth.
As soon as the sweet medicine touched the tongue, it dissolved like water. If I hadn’t closed my mouth in time, the golden liquid would have flowed out of my mouth.
Zhuge Munho swallowed the medicine in one go.
The public ambassador nodded.
“It is very powerful, but it is a small medicine that is handled directly by the head of the pharmaceutical company, so it retains most of its power and minimizes side effects.”
At that moment, Zhuge Munho’s eyes widened.
“Was it a cow summoning party?!”
“He specializes in supporting expeditions rather than strengthening internal forces. Even if you don’t do anything else, your vitality will increase as time goes by.”
“Lord…!”
Zhuge Lianghu did not say why this precious thing was given to me. There was nothing I could do but watch the public ambassador with admiring eyes.
Only then did the public ambassador speak with a more relaxed face, as if he had just had a good time.
“Since the military did not tell us, Binseung also investigated various matters within the army.”
Change the subject naturally.
Zhuge Wenhu controlled his turbulent mind. Even though it looks like there is nothing to do, Maengju is also busy. I couldn’t waste time.
“yes.”
“As I was researching, I realized something again. “The soldier is very tired.”
“yes?”
The Ambassador took out a small document from his pocket and handed it to him.
“Read it.”
Zhuge Lianghu immediately opened the document and read it.
After a while.
“….”
Zhuge Wenho’s eyes suddenly changed.
The public ambassador smiled.
“I wonder if the military knows what it means just by looking at a series of information.”
“This can’t be right…”
“The Military Department’s informants are numerous and elite, so they are putting more effort into matters outside of Meng than within Meng.”
However, this did not mean that military intelligence officers could not do their jobs. Rather, if you look at their work capabilities, they were no less lacking than those who were open.
However, the difference will be in which organ is more specialized and which part is analyzed more properly.
“There are people who directly ask for information from me under the orders of Huai. There are also cult members connected to the headquarters. “I received their information after filtering it out one by one.”
“this is…!”
“If the soldier was physically strong, this is definitely something he would not have missed.”
Now was not the time to talk about mistakes.
Zhuge Wenhu swallowed his saliva and said.
“Surely Hojeong?”
The public ambassador nodded.
Zhuge Wenhu gritted his teeth.
“Such an idiot…!”
The target of his insults was himself.
“How could this be… why didn’t I think of this?”
“As a result, what they want is not much different from what we expected. However, if I had known in advance, I could have told Sobuju not to go straight to Jeokchangmun.”
“This is not the time. “Hurry up to Hojeong…!”
Zhuge Wenhu quickly got up and immediately shut his mouth.
The public ambassador nodded.
“exactly. “It has already happened.”
“You have to be prepared.”
“No, you don’t have to.”
“yes?”
“Let’s use the Sejak search force that Gaju Moyong brought with us right now.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes wavered.
“…If that happens, Hojeong will continue to suffer.”
“I know.”
“Lord?!”
The public ambassador closed his eyes.
“Let’s wait until the very end. Until I can take responsibility.”
“…!”
“And Sobuju must have also reached the essence of this situation by now. Still, just in case, I should find the right time and send someone to confirm the truth to Lord Sobu.”
The public ambassador looked out the window and sighed.
“Let us prepare too. Prepare to be torn apart.”
* * *
When Yeon Ho-jeong arrived in front of the residence of the Namgung family.
“….”
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking and looked around at the warriors standing in front of Namgung-se.
Jinyang muttered without realizing it.
“What the f*ck is this?…”
As many as a hundred warriors were armed and staring at the two men.
Most of them seemed nervous. It had to be that way. Because the opponent is a member of Seongcheon.
However, one thing was clearly evident in everyone: hostility. It was revealed honestly in his eyes and prayers.
Jinyang whispered to Yeonhojeong.
“What is this? I have a strong feeling that something has gone wrong…”
“Well. “The anxiety I felt was true.”
“What is that anxiety?”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say anything. There was no need to say anything.
He closed his eyes for a moment and expanded his energy.
“…I’m just glad. “It looks like the Geomje and Doje are not there.”
“It is said that the monks were beaten to death and went to practice beyond the Daebyeol Mountains. “They told me to call them if something happens.”
“That’s the case with the free position. “I’m grateful just to belong.”
“But are you really not going to tell me what that anxiety is?”
“huh.”
“Tsk.”
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes and looked at the faces of the warriors once again.
Among them, there were some who had impure intentions like me. There are people who want to lead the world’s affairs and are driven by that desire.
But other people are now convinced that their actions are right.
Conviction was visible. It was a belief born of malicious incitement that penetrated into weak subjectivity and was tightly sealed.
Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly remembered what countless people had said to him.
‘There are some people who are running this world right now. It is the nucleus that creates the flow. And you are one of those few hacks.’
‘It’s okay for the other guys. I have to somehow kill that ax first. That guy is the core of this army.’
‘We are in a situation where one of the core masters of the current Murim Alliance and the leader of the Yu military unit must be dispatched to the Mukryongbu. ‘You need to know even the smallest thing about the Inkryongbuju.’
‘You are the core of the Murim League’s political scene.’
‘It’s you. You are the center of the powerhouse of your time.’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.
Yes. Before he knew it, he had become the center of a powerhouse.
In this war, it became the core of a typhoon that could not be compared to anyone else in the world.
“…When I put it down, I can finally see the sky.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who criticized Haneul’s heartlessness in a calm voice, lowered her head again.
A breathtaking confrontation.
‘If only I had to carry the black stone on my back.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been watching them for a while, opened her mouth.
“Get out of the way.”
Sreuk.
The warriors put their hands on the sword handles.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s calm face suddenly became contorted as if he were a murderous murderer.
“I told you to get out of the way!”
Grumble!
The sound of thunder seemed to echo in the cloudless sky. A terrifying presence loomed over the outburst.
“From now on, until the end of the war, I will abandon the Yeon family name! I speak only as the next head of the Black Island Alliance, and I will take down anyone who dares to stand in my way, regardless of their status or reason!”
Crumbling!!
The gushing golden energy waves seemed to cover the whole world.
bang!
Gwangryongbu caused an earthquake.
“I command you for the last time.”
The faces of all the warriors turned pale.
More than half of them collapsed on the spot in front of the brutal storm of death.
“Everyone get out!”
