Chapter 319

Episode 319. Making Chil-Yeop Cheongjeomsan (2)

“I feel like I’ve seen a little bit of why the Duke of Zhou praised Liu Bei so much.”

Zhuge Liang looked at the three Liu Bei brothers who were repairing the collapsed house until late at night with the people below with a new look. Guan-wu meticulously directs his subordinates in various parts of the equipment that lifts a rock the size of a house while pouring alcohol generously. Liu Bei comforts those in need and reorganizes them anew. It was clear that the more I looked at them, the more they were good people.

“Not only that.”

“huh?”

In response to the fireman’s question, Zhuge Liang added a word, looking at the will that disappeared this time.

“From a broader perspective, I didn’t think of it that far, but if you look there, you can see a different form.”

The fireman laughed.

“Tell me.”

“What I’m worried about is that if the will goes away, it could cause trouble, but if this happens, I’ll have to think differently. Rather, it is to let the barons and rich people of Ikju find a new owner.”

“Ho-oh!”

“Anyway, the will is old, and all of his children were killed by Yi Gak and Gwak Sa. A person without heirs abandoned his subordinates and ran away, so if you spread rumors about it, even if you want to follow it, the justification for following will disappear.”

“I guess that too.”

At Zhuge Liang’s words, the painter nodded.

It is natural as a military commander to choose the best first, but as the road changes, the ability to lead the lane as quickly as possible using the changed road is also great. Until now, I thought that I was still young and lacked improvisation according to the situation, but before I knew it, even my mind seemed to be going to a state where I could see dozens ahead.

“Where do you think the will will go?”

Zhuge Liang covered his mouth with a fan and laughed.

“You already know, but you are testing me.”

“This guy, it would have been the same in the past, but now I can’t say anything hastily because I’m afraid I’ll be wrong. Fuhahaha!”

“Oh, overeating is too much.”

Zhuge Liang spoke with a twinkle in his eyes as he sighed.

“I think the will has nowhere to go.”

“I thought the same way.”

The fireman also agreed.

“Even if he ran away, where would the ruler of Ikju welcome him? Hitting him would mean that we would become enemies. It’s good if you don’t get kicked out at the door.”

“you’re right. A tiger needs to have teeth and claws, but if it only has a body, its skin will come off.”

Zhuge Liang nodded quietly, then lowered his head as if he remembered something.

“I’m going to have to release someone tomorrow and spread rumors that Yu Eo ran away at night, and I’ll have to put up a room saying I’m hiring talented people.”

“A room already? Wouldn’t it be too soon?”

“Some of those who come late may be confident, but don’t you mean that there are many people who can see the trend even among those who come early? Since Yuan fulfilled his greed for a long time by paying attention and doing self-sacrificing, there must be many talented people who are reclusive because they don’t like that.”

“Well, you are right. Get it going tomorrow.”

“Even if you go, you should leave behind the wealth you have accumulated from the spines of the people. Tsk.”

Far away from the place where Hwabu and Zhuge Liang were conversing, Eulji was sitting with Lee Dangji, chewing beef jerky and drinking alcohol.

“Would you leave your possessions behind if you were like Danju? Even if I die, I will take it with me.”

“If you know you’re going to die, you should leave it. Aren’t the horses that pull the wagon full of riches and the wagon speeding up?”

“This is what people want when they see it. When you die, even if you die, you can’t give up your wealth. Well, thanks to that, it would be easier for the lions to follow.”

“It’s not comfortable because you’ll just secretly follow it until you enter Woljeon-gun’s borders, but it’s rather boring. Moreover, the Duke of Zhou said not to kill the will, but only take the property and make him run away, so he won’t be able to kill him either.”

“When I see Master at a time like this, I think he is overly compassionate. If it were me, I would kill it cleanly, even thinking about the future.”

“Because killing isn’t the only good thing. By the way, have you met Yunju’s maid?”

“Meet the Eosa Daebu.”

“I heard you’re busy with Hao-wen these days. Do you have time to come here?”

“yes! Oh, I came to pick you up because my brother was worried about his health because he often stays up all night doing experiments until late.”

“Puhaha! They say that the smell of roasted sesame seeds vibrates through the castle these days, so it must be because of you.”

“Oh no.....”

“Come to think of it, Bun-ah, this guy! You seem to have half your face lately... aren’t you overdoing it?”

“That can’t be. It’s not that I overwork them, it’s because my brother often skips meals and stays up all night making repellents.”

“Okay, let’s do something like that.”

When the painter made a mischievous expression, Yun-ju lowered his head.

“Oh come on, stop. I will do the rest of the experiment.”

“no. Master. Now that you know how many of the monkey’s worms have died, you just need to close the kite belly. I’m going to go in after I’m finished, so Master, please go in and sleep.”

“Tsk, do you intend to make me a careless teacher? Come in.”

“But...”

“I’m still faster than you, so quit the school. I can see Yun-joo’s notice, so if I hold on to you any longer, there will be a hole in the back of my head.”

When the painter put on his surgical gloves and reached out, Buna handed over the needle holder he was holding.

“sorry. Master.”

“Sorry, I’m more sorry. It’s been a while since I’ve been newlywed... Hurry up and go.”

“yes.”

Bun-ah hesitated while looking at her notice, and when she greeted Yun-ju and left, the painter smiled and began to sew the monkey’s intestines.

When the governor sent a letter recommending surrender, most of the governors of Ikju surrendered and rushed to see the governor, but the governors of Woljeon and Yunnam even killed the messengers sent by the governor instead of surrendering.

Even so, killing a god of death is excessive.

Furious, Hwabu immediately gathered up an army to attack the two armies and began preparing for war.

While preparing for war for a long time, Lion Manchong came from Jojo in the imperial palace.

“Meet Eosa Daebu, the new owner of Ikju.”

As Manchong and the servants who followed him prostrated themselves, the painter nodded with a slightly troubled expression.

“So, is Moo-hyeon-nim safe?”

“A while ago, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought in the north, and Yuan Shao won, and the army increased rapidly. You are very worried about that. Here is a letter from Queen Mupyeong to Eosa Daebu.”

When Manchong took out the letter from his bosom, the enemy messenger took it and brought it to the fireman.

After reading the letter, the painter shook his head a little excessively.

“Huh! It looks like you’re having a lot of trouble with this.... This is a big deal. Please take a look at the military commander.”

Then he handed over the letter to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang already guessed everything, but he only added after reading slowly.

“This is really timely.”

“We are in a situation where we have to rebel against Woljeon and Yunnan.

“Eosa Daebu, our lord said that Eosa Daebu would never ignore the difficulties of brother-in-law.”

When Manchong and the other servants who came with him lay down flat, the fireman looked at the officials of great and small ranks around him and then opened his mouth.

“First, we should have a discussion. You guys should stay in the guesthouse for a while and take a break.”

“All right.”

When Manchong and his servants withdrew, Hwabu gathered the leaders and held a meeting.
