After the treatment, Jong-seok was able to see Hong Gate and Kang Chul-jae talking.
Do you know each other?'
Thinking that way, Jong-seok approached them.
"Ah! Mr. Lee."
Hong Dae-moon smiled and opened his mouth as Jong-seok approached.
"I didn't know you knew him."
"I didn't know you knew each other."
"I know. As expected, Korean land is very small."
Kang Chul-jae smiled and said,
"When I was the division commander, Mr. Hong was under me."
"I see."
When Jong-seok nodded, Hong Dae-moon said,
"If you don't mind, I'd like to have a meal with you, would you mind?"
Kang Chul-jae shook his head at the words of Hong Dae-moon.
"I've already lost a lot of time, but I can't take any more."
"I don't have much work to do today..."
"Isn't the reason why Mr. Hong came here to inspect the health center?"
"That's... Okay."
Even if it's a health center inspection, I'm just here to see Lee Jong-seok and get a spank.
I said I was here to inspect the health center because I told Kang Chul-jae that I was here to get his saliva.
I didn't come at first because I was worried about waiting for one o'clock and two hours.
But when I went to a visiting medical service, I changed my mind 180 degrees when I was hit by acupuncture in the senile center.
The moment I got acupuncture, I felt as cool as if my body was piercing.
It's as if you're in a cold bath and then you're in a hot bath.
After that, I got acupuncture whenever I went to medical services, and when I was tired, I went to the health center and waited for acupuncture.
I wanted to call the health doctor to his office and get acupuncture, but Kang Sang-soo couldn't do it when he was waiting for it.
Besides, when I saw Jong-seok, he came to the office and asked me to let him go, and I immediately refused.
If other health doctors refuse to tell you to come and see me, you'll be the first to come from Cheonsu County, but you'll be sent to a rural health center. I can't even do that.
The patients who were treated by Jong-seok brought Lee Jong-seok to Cheonsu-gun for the best thing he did this time.
So if you say something and get rejected, it only hurts your face.
Anyway, Hong Dae-moon, who wanted to talk about his success while eating rice with Kang Chul-jae, gave out his business card.
"Next time you come, please contact me first. I really want to treat you to a meal."
"Let's do that. By the way, the governor... "It's nice to see you live well."
Smiling, Kang Chul-jae pulled out his business card from his wallet. When Hong Dae-moon received his business card with both hands, he said regretfully.
"I'm afraid I'll be going."
"Good luck."
Hong Dae-moon moved into the health center with a sad face. And his eyes were alternately looking at the steel and the stalactites.
It's sad that I couldn't eat rice with Kang Chul-jae, and it's also sad that Jong-seok can't get acupuncture because his medical hours are over.
Jong-seok, who broke up with Hong-mun, came out with steel material and was wondering about his face.
There was a middle-aged man in a black suit at the entrance, and he looked familiar.
'Lord Commander?'
He was a member of the Special Forces that the Secretary of Defense assigned Kang Chul-jae to him when he was almost assassinated.
The man who didn't give his name and asked him to call him Commander-in-Chief is still next to Kang Chul-jae.
"Hello."
The late lieutenant colonel bowed his head small at Jong-seok's greeting.
"Hello."
The late lieutenant colonel's greeting saw steel materials.
"The late Commander is still here."
"I think I'm fine... The Minister still seems to be concerned about it."
When Jong-seok, who nodded at Kang Chul-jae, moved, Lt. Col. Ko went to the car and opened the door.
When Kang Chul-jae got into the car, Jong-seok saw Lt. Col. Ko.
"You don't know how to get here. I'll drive."
At Jong-seok's words, Lt. Col. Ko passed the key while looking at him. Jong-seok, who received the key to him, said in the car.
"Shall we have a meal in Seoul?"
"Seoul?"
"It's the weekend, so I don't have to go to work, and wouldn't it be better for you to eat and rest in Seoul than to eat here and go back to Seoul?"
"I'm fine, but... Would that be all right?"
"I'd like to see the elders of Moon Bang-woo, maybe because I've seen you. 'Cause I haven't seen you since the last trip.
"Well, why don't we have people who have time?"
"Well, I'd love that."
"Good for you. I've already had a chat and a discussion."
"About the military hospital?"
"I know how to read books, but I don't know medical terms or medical equipment very well. So the next time I go to the military hospital, I'm going to take them with me."
"Well, if I go with you, you'll get the hospital dirty."
Moon Jae-chul, the head of the giant hospital. Even a military unit is a hospital, so it would be easy to find problems with books and facilities.
He started to drive his car toward Seoul.
Why don't we sleep at my grandfather's house today and go camping with my grandmother tomorrow?'
***
Jong-seok and Kang Chul-jae, who arrived in Seoul, were entering a restaurant in Seoul.
"Are you already starting?"
Inside the restaurant, some of the elders of Moonbangwoo were already drinking soju with pork belly.
All the seniors couldn't come because they made a sudden appointment.
Only a few adults who lived in Seoul and had no work gathered to take their seats.
Principal's not here.
When I went inside looking at the adults gathered inside, Moon Jae-chul smiled and raised his hand.
"You're the last person to get together."
"If it didn't take me two hours to get here from Chungcheng Island, I would have come early."
"Mr. Lee's here. Don't talk nonsense. Sit down."
When Jong-seok smiled and pointed to his seat, Kang Chul-jae and Jong-seok sat down.
"How's everybody doing?"
"There's nothing special about us."
When Won Seung-hwan, a former vice minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, smiled and followed Soju, Jong-seok received it.
"I went to China not too long ago."
"Are you in China?"
"It's easy to work with a photo taken with Jin So-pyeong. A photo taken with a genuine review was more effective than an official letter of cooperation from the Korean Foreign Ministry."
Won Seung-hwan's words made me laugh.
"Really?"
At Jong-seok's words, Won Seung-hwan took out his cell phone and showed a picture taken with Jin So-pyeong in China.
asked Jong-seok, who was looking at a picture of Won Seung-hwan and Jin So-pyeong standing side by side.
"But why did you go to China all of a sudden? Did you go to work for the country, given your letter of cooperation?"
Won Seung-hwan sighed and spoke to Jong-seok's question.
"I've been there since I was in active service for the return of cultural assets."
"Cultural property?"
"In China, there is a royal seal of Goguryeo."
"Is the royal seal of Goguryeo in China?"
"It was stolen by the Chinese army at the time of 6.25... It is now on display at the National Museum of Beijing. I've been in contact with China several times to bring it to Korea... It didn't work."
"I see."
This time, as the administration changed, we are making efforts to return Korean cultural assets in foreign countries. I know the royal seal of Goguryeo well, and there is a line, so the minister asked me to help him with his work. So I go to China often these days."
"You must be tired."
"It's hard, but I wish I had some success. "I'm sighing because I'm not getting any results."
When I saw Won Seung-hwan shaking his head, I took a deep breath of soju and opened my mouth to see what Jong-seok thought.
"Why don't we change Chinese imperial relics and our country's relics?"
Won Seung-hwan laughed at Jong-seok's remark.
"The relics of the Chinese imperial family... If we have such a thing in our country, we can suggest to exchange it, but is there such a thing in our country?"
"Well, I know where I am."
"Huh? Do you know where the Chinese imperial relics are?"
As Won Seung-hwan became more vocal in surprise, the eyes of adults gathered this way.
Jong-seok nodded to him.
"I'll have to go see if there is or not, but... There's going to be a lot."
"What does that mean? You don't know if there is or not?"
When Won Seung-hwan wondered, Jong-seok said,
"There's a lot of possibilities, but I can't see it myself."
"Then where is it?"
"China... the Forbidden City"
Won Seung-hwan frowned at Jong-seok's words. The Chinese Ministry of Finance... Forbidden City is the Chinese Imperial Palace.
"That..."
Won Seung-hwan opened his mouth after watching Jongseok for a while.
"Isn't it natural that the Chinese Ministry of Finance has Chinese imperial relics?"
"Wait a minute. I don't think Mr. Lee would have told you that without knowing that."
When Won Seung-hwan thought about what Moon Jae-chul said, he had a point. I don't think Jong-seok would have asked for the exchange of Korean relics in China, or even in the Forbidden City.
When Won Seung-hwan saw Jong-seok, Jong-seok opened his mouth.
"I was reading an old book and saw something about the secret rooms and underpasses of the Forbidden City in China."
"Secret rooms and underpasses?"
"You remember I went to the Forbidden City with the elders?"
Adults nodded at Jong-seok's remarks.
"Remember I explained to you about the building that the guides didn't know about."
"I remember."
"At the time, I saw a lot of money-for- Among them was the Forbidden Room of the Forbidden City and its institutions."
"Secret rooms and institutions?"
Listening to Won Seung-hwan's wonder, Jong-seok said,
"The last time I went to Beijing with adults, I touched one of the organs... The engine was moving."
"You mean the organ is alive?"
"Of course the organ died, but what I touched was alive. And if there's something in that institution, it's all Chinese imperial stuff."
Won Seung-hwan nodded while thinking for a moment at Jong-seok's words.
"You have a point. If he's in a secret room or an institution, someone's hiding it. If you hid it, it could be precious."
Kang Chul-jae nodded at Won Seung-hwan.
"Bukyong Forbidden City was made during the Ming Dynasty, so it is highly likely that the Qing Dynasty hid the royal treasures in its secret rooms or institutions when it attacked it."
Adults nodded at Kang Chul-jae's words. Precious items are kept in secret even at home.
There must have been a lot of precious things since it was the imperial family of a country like the Forbidden City, but there was a possibility that the precious things were hidden separately.
Especially if the palace is being invaded by enemies.
Jong-seok nodded at Kang Chul-jae. Jong-seok once thought like that.
"It seems like the Chinese don't know about him either because there are no guards where the institutions are... What do you think? I think something will come out if I search the engine."
"I think it's possible, but..."
Former Vice Foreign Minister Cha In-beom opened his mouth at Won Seung-hwan's murmur.
"What if you don't let us know, get information, and return our artifacts?"
"We'll have to get something, and then we'll have to let them know one by one. Do I look stupid enough to tell you everything without receiving a single one?"
"Well, that's true."
When Cha In-beom nodded, Kang Chul-jae said softly.
"Shouldn't it be better for us to sneak in there, check what's in there, and make a deal?"
"Do you want to steal?"
When Hong-seok saw him with surprised eyes, the steel shook his head.
"It's not stealing, it's about checking what's in it first, and then exchanging it for the artifacts we want."
Then Kang Chul-jae saw Won Seung-hwan.
"Isn't it not just the Goguryeo Seal in China? There are many artifacts in China, right?"
"There's a lot.
"Yes, so why don't we take the artifacts and exchange them with China? They give us one, and we give one."
Jong-seok shook his head with a smile at Kang Chul-jae's words.
"You're right, but... It's the Forbidden City, the Chinese Imperial Palace, so would the security be normal?"
Steel shook his head at Jong-seok's horse.
"The cultural significance of the Forbidden City in China is great, but... Even so, it's a tourist attraction. Would it be only a military base if it were very expensive? In Korea, the security of Gyeongbokgung Palace is not strict, is it?"
Thinking about what Kang Chul-jae said, Jong-seok made a point. There aren't many guards at Gyeongbokgung Palace.
"But there must be a lot of CCTVs."
Kang Chul-jae was thinking for a while and called Lieutenant Colonel Ko on his cell phone to let him in.
When the late lieutenant colonel came in, Kang Chul-jae opened his mouth.
"Can you sneak into the Forbidden City of the late Commander?"
When asked by Kang Chul-jae, the late lieutenant colonel looked at him and opened his mouth.
"I would do it if it were for the sake of the national interest."
"You mean you can?"
"I've never been to the Forbidden City, and it's hard to say because I don't know the security situation there. If I have access to internal maps and security of the Forbidden City with my troops... It will be possible."
At the words of the late lieutenant colonel, Kang Chul-jae looked at Won Seung-hwan. But Jong-seok shook his head.
"But it's not easy. Even if you pack things, it's not easy to bring them back to Korea."
Cha In-beom opened his mouth to Jong-seok's words.
"This is..."
When Cha In-beom, who was talking, smacked his lips and closed his mouth, Kang Chul-jae looked at him.
"Why? If you have something to say, say it."
"What if... If it's for the country and the president has agreed... As long as we can move things to the Korean Embassy, we can bring them to Korea through our diplomatic pouch."
But Cha In-beom shook his head.
"But I can't. If we get caught in the middle of an operation at the Forbidden City, we're going to have a big diplomatic problem."
Lieutenant Colonel Ko opened his mouth at Cha In-beom's words.
"I don't know what happened, but... We have been trained to deny all relations with Korea when we are discovered during our mission."
"But what is not allowed is not..."
Cha In-beom saw the steel.
"Don't talk nonsense. We can't be enemies with China to get some artifacts."
"You're talking too much. Some artifacts! The relics contain the spirit and spirit of our ancestors, not the word "zom."
Cha In-beom shook his head when Won Seung-hwan said with a frown.
"Yes, I've been talking too much. But... it doesn't work. I think it would be better for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to handle the matter.
"The return of cultural assets is our ministry's job, so why is the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism suddenly coming forward?"
"Shouldn't we have to talk to China if we dig up the money-making stuff and do something about it?"
"Uh! Why is the Foreign Ministry suddenly trying to push a spoon into what we've been doing so far?"
"I'm saying I'll help you because it won't work until now. Who's taking a spoon?"
Surprised by the sudden quarrel between Won Seung-hwan and Cha In-beom, Jong-seok hurriedly said,
"Don't do that, you two."
Won Seung-hwan and Cha In-beom nodded as if they were worried about Jong-seok's words.
"We were ugly in front of Mr. Lee."
"I'm ashamed."
said Jong-seok, who breathed a sigh of relief as the two immediately calmed down.
"We don't even know if there's anything in it yet."
"Then I'd have to check..."
Won Seung-hwan said, after thinking for a while,
"Why don't we talk to China about it first and open up the agency where they are?"
"Then what if they know about the agency and they search themselves and find it?"
Jong-seok shook his head with a smile at Cha In-beom's worried voice.
"As long as we don't go through that vast financial landscape with X-rays, I'm the only one who knows about the institution. And even if we find the hidden space in the building with X-rays, we have no choice but to destroy the Forbidden City building if we don't know how to get in."
Jong-seok continued to talk to adults who saw him.
"Do you break down China's top cultural asset Forbidden City or hand over artifacts to Korea and open institutions? The choice can be turned over to China."
