Episode 336Aiming for the brightness (4)

Zhuge Munho smiled and asked.

“Do you like tea well?”

“Well that’s very good.”

“Hehe, Lord Jang said he was coming, so I especially saved the best tea leaves.”

“It seems like you have great knowledge of cars. People who don’t know anything just think that something that is expensive is the best. “If you go into detail about the weather, the degree of drying of tea leaves, humidity, boiling method, and setting the appropriate temperature, the tea ceremony is endless.”

“You are truly knowledgeable. “I heard that Master Jang’s knowledge makes him look down on other scholars, and it seems that the rumor is true.”

“I just messed with it as a hobby. “Thanks to the good work of my subordinates, I have some free time to spend time looking around.”

“How intensely did you live your life to get to that position? This is all accomplished by Lord Jang. You can feel proud.”

“Hehehe.”

There is a difference between flattery and sincere praise.

In that respect, Zhuge Liang really knew how to treat people. He was not excessive in humbling himself and was considerate of others, but he never said anything he didn’t mean.

Song Guo-hyeon (松國賢) liked Zhuge Literary like that. I thought he would be a strict person as he was the head of the famous Zhuge family and a soldier of the Murim Alliance, but he seemed much more comfortable than I expected.

Song Guk-hyun looked around.

“Anyway, it’s the best martial arts alliance, but it’s really simple for a military officer, the highest-ranking member of the alliance.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled.

“I don’t like excessive decoration. Because I was so busy, I had no choice but to prioritize practical aspects over looking good.”

I naturally say that I am busy. It was a statement that might offend a twisted person. Because it would be like asking to meet that busy person.

Song Guk-hyun said with a smile.

“The busiest person in the Murim Alliance has given me so much time, so I don’t know what to do.”

Zhuge Wenhu waved his hand.

“Don’t say that. No matter how busy Maeng’s work is, it’s not to the point where he refuses to meet alone with a noble person. “Moreover, he started with his bare hands and has grown into a major figure in the economy of the central and central regions. It would not be enough for me to visit him first and ask him to learn.”

“Hehehe.”

I am impressed by the efforts and results the person has achieved, not by their current position. Song Guk-Hyeon liked Zhuge Munho even more.

Zhuge Wenhu asked.

“Anyway, why did the person who leads the best battlefield in the central plains come to visit this poor person without any message?”

The best battlefield in the midfield.

Song Guk-hyeon, who had aimed to be the best in Jungwon since he first built the battlefield, named the battlefield Jungwon Battlefield (中原錢莊).

If it’s common, it’s common; if it’s ambitious, it’s ambitious.

The name has now become a legend. Thirty years after coming into the world at the age of twelve, it was considered one of the three major battlegrounds in Jungwon, and now that Song Guk-hyeon is 55 years old, it has become the battleground praised as the best among them.

A giant that caused a tectonic shift in the continent’s economy. Although he has a more ordinary appearance than expected for being one of the richest people in the central plains, the wisdom and firearms in his eyes are no less than that of Zhuge Literary Master.

Song Guk-hyun said in a calm voice.

“There are things in this world that are more precious than money. One of them is time. Since I came without a message to a busy person, I think it would be better to speak directly to him.”

“haha.”

“This person became friends with quite a few people while working on the battlefield. One of them is Mr. Ugong, who is currently the left-hand official of Hanam Seungseonpo-jeongsa.”

Seungseonpojeongsasa.

While the Wi Commanding Sasa was an organization that controlled the military installed at strategic points in the region and the Provincial Commandering Sasa was a military government agency overseeing a province, the Seungseonpo Jeong SaSa was an administrative agency in charge of ruling a province.

Seungseonpojeongsasa has the left and right pojeongsa as the head. In other words, Song Guo-hyeon had established a relationship with the head of the highest administrative organization in Henan Province.

“But not long ago, Teacher Wukong asked this person a favor.”

“Are you asking me for a favor?”

“I heard that Zhuge Emperor is inviting officials to find out the situation and movements of the government.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.

Song Guk-hyun continued. Even though he was saying something quite dangerous, he still remained calm and calm.

“Teacher Wukong seemed very uncomfortable.” S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I see.”

Song Guk-hyeon’s eyes changed slightly.

“Can we interpret that answer as truly saying that Zhuge Dynasty is watching the government’s movements?”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled bitterly.

“You’re already sure, so why bother evading the moment by lying?”

“….”

“Not to mention, the leader of the Jungwon Battlefield came in person. “I don’t want to tarnish the pleasure of conversation with pointless lies.”

Song Guk-hyun couldn’t help but ask.

“Why on earth did you do that?”

Gwanlim Non-aggression Treaty.

Empire and Murim do not interfere with each other. At first glance, it may seem absurd, but it actually happens.

Now, Zhuge Dynasty has arbitrarily violated that historic treaty and has even meekly acknowledged it.

Song Guk-hyun couldn’t understand. Zhuge Wenhu was the head of the Zhuge family and was also a respected scholar in Confucianism for his extensive knowledge and deep wisdom.

Why did such a person do such a dangerous thing?

“Before I tell you why, may I ask you a question?”

“of course.”

“Are you doing business with high-ranking officials?”

Song Guk-hyeon’s expression changed slightly.

Dealing with high-level officials? The expression was plausible, but in the end, the question was whether he was benefiting from them by bribing them. Of course, the opposite can also happen.

In other words, it was a fairly rude remark.

Song Guk-hyun remained calm this time too.

“It would be a lie if I said it never happened. “I once emptied my own pocket and gave money to officials.”

“I see.”

“However, we have never engaged in an unfair transaction or made a huge profit. “I have never stolen public funds from the battlefield.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. “Although I cannot say that my past history was clean, I think I lived while maintaining the minimum good standards.”

At least in terms of his experience with people, he was ahead of Zhuge Munho. Even if Zhuge Lianghu’s eyes are sharp, it will not be easy to detect Song Guo-hyun’s sincerity if he is determined and manages his expression.

“Lord Jang, you are a magnate in the commercial world. “I don’t think a person like that would give money to officials without any benefit.”

“I know you are not interrogating me, but may I know why you are asking such questions?”

Zhuge Wenho’s face gradually changed.

dead pan. It was a change that made me wonder if a person could change like this in one place. Song Guk-hyeon was nervous without even realizing it.

“If violations of the non-aggression pact surface, many problems will arise. “It is not my place to say that the treaty was violated, but it is a self-evident fact that the government officials do not want to make a big deal out of this.”

“….”

“If it were me, or someone with some level of experience and knowledge of politics, I would have contacted you directly. No matter what the circumstances are. “But out of the blue, he asked Lord Jang to tell me.”

“Sir.”

“Did you ask why I was watching the government’s movements? “Let me answer.”

Ugh.

A cold, murderous look appeared in Zhuge Munho’s eyes.

In an instant, Song Guk-hyun’s complexion turned pale. Although he was learning curing techniques for his health, Zhuge Munho was a transcendent expert known to the world. When I saw the murderous look in the master’s eyes, I couldn’t help but feel momentarily shaken.

“We have received intelligence that there is an irreverent group trying to take over the government office. And the fact that that irreverent group is an unknown organization with great military power.”

“…!”

“Circumstances have already been detected in which the organization’s top leaders have infiltrated the high command and provincial command headquarters as officials. “It’s hard to think that those people missed Seungseonpojeongsasa, an administrative agency.”

The superior commanding officer, provincial commanding officer, and seungseonpojeong envoy each have different tasks.

The three organizations were strangely uninvolved with each other, making each organization extremely independent.

That’s why even Zhuge Liang is not sure. If he had been sure, he would have already planned out how to cook the entire government of Henan Province.

“Let me ask you directly. Lord Zhang, were you aware of an unknown organization that was trying to overthrow the imperial family and government officials?”

“I didn’t know.”

“Is that true? “Have you already joined hands with them?”

“Soldier!”

“Or is it possible that you are maintaining the relationship without knowing that the officials who formed a relationship with Lord Jang have already been recruited by them?”

Song Guk-hyeon could not easily open his mouth. Although the atmosphere suddenly became hostile, it was because I had an intuition of how carefully I should answer this question.

Zhuge Munho, who was staring at Song Gukhyeon, soon relaxed his expression and lowered his head.

“sorry. Because it was a sensitive issue, I did something rude to try to please Mr. Jang. “I apologize like this.”

“….”

“However, I think it is true that the adult of Left Pojeongsa acted in a way that is difficult to understand. That’s why I’m asking, so I hope you can forgive this person for his shortcomings.”

Song Guo-hyeon, who was looking at Zhuge Li with a complicated face, sighed.

“I came here thinking this wasn’t a big deal, but it looks like I’ll have to stay longer than I thought.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled.

“You were thinking that far. “As expected, your wisdom is great.”

An irreverent group seeks to overthrow the imperial family and government officials.

This was information that would shock the world. However, Zhuge Lianghu told Song Gukhyeon such information without hesitation.

In other words, there was no intention of sending Song Guk-Hyeon away like this. We will never let him go until we are convinced that he has nothing to do with the Shinhwa Cult.

Song Guk-hyun asked.

“If there really is such a force, wouldn’t it be better to meet directly with the highest-ranking officials in the government?”

“I had no choice but to take a drastic step out of fear of making the mistake of being too aggressive.”

“Huh.”

“When I am confident in you, Lord Jang, I will apologize for my rudeness then and now. “You’ve come a long way, but I really don’t have anything to say.”

Song Guk-hyun quenched his appetite.

“Like I said, this guy isn’t busy. “I’m going to sit here for a few days and take a look at the Murimmaeng.”

Definitely not an ordinary person.

In most cases, it was normal to not only get angry or vent, but also to express one’s resentment. But Song Guk-hyun was not like that. I know that there will be no point in talking about it anyway and that the situation will not change even if I get angry.

Knowing with your heart what you know with your head. It was one of the reasons why Song Kook-hyun was able to become a giant in the commercial world.

“But the name of that organization is…”

That was then.

“Soldier. “I request to see you, the commander of the Mortal Army.”

Zhuge Li’s eyes suddenly changed again.

“Take it.”

“yes.”

After a while.

Grumble.

The door opened and Yeon Ho-jeong appeared, holding a huge axe.
