Episode 1005.Into the Abyss (5)

“What?!”

Zhuge Wenhu suddenly stood up.

“Is the head of the Nangong family dead?”

“That’s right.”

This was something that even a military intelligence officer, known for his cool-headedness, would stutter.

The Nangong family is the loser of Anhui and at the same time is a part of the six generations. In its heyday, it was a prestigious family that boasted so much power that it was even named the best in the world.

Even though Namgung-in is not the head of the family, this is something that suddenly falls out of the sky, but since he is even the head of the family, this is not an ordinary situation.

“How? “Who did they say the culprit was?”

“This is Yeonhojeong, Sobuju of the Inkryongbu.”

“…what?!”

Zhuge Yan, who was listening next to him, shouted.

“Nonsense!”

Although she has a fiery side, Yeon Ho-jeong’s reason is so cold that it can be said that she controls those emotions better than anyone else.

He is not the kind of person who would do something like this in the first place. Not only Zhuge Zinc, but also Zhuge Munho could not believe that Yeon Ho-jeong was the culprit.

The informant continued stammering.

“First of all, it is known that way. The rumor is spreading like wildfire. “The Namgung family is on emergency alert, and Sogaju Namgungpyo is said to be recovering the body.”

“Oh my…”

“Currently, the rumor is spreading beyond the inner city to the outer city. “It’s too late to stop the rumor.”

At that moment, Zhuge Li’s eyes lit up.

“…No, that’s not it.”

“yes?”

“What is the time of Nangungaju’s death?”

Even though he was in a huge shock, he tried hard to keep his cool.

“It’s called microscopic jeong (正).”

“Then it’s only been a little over half an hour now. “The rumor spread to the outer castle in that short period of time?”

“ah!”

A word without feet travels a thousand miles, and rumors spread much faster and more fatally than anyone might think.

However, it was too much for the rumor to spread all the way to the outer walls of the Murim League in less than half a day, or just over half an hour.

“There is someone who is leading the rumor. “There is no other way to explain it.”

From the perspective of a military person who plans strategy and tactics based on all kinds of information, this was absolutely not a natural thing.

Zhuge Wenho, who was looking up at the ceiling blankly, spoke quickly.

“We will conduct a thorough investigation into what happened. “Contact the head of the criminal code and tell him to dispatch warriors to Namgungse’s territory immediately.”

“All right.”

“And…”

That was then.

“Soldier!”

“Please come in.”

Another informant who came through the door knelt down and said.

“It is said that people classified as anti-black are gathering in Naeseong Square. “We received intelligence that everyone will gather together and head to Maengjubu.”

“What?!”

The spread of the rumor was incredibly fast, but the movement of the anti-black faction was just as fast.

The death of Namgoong Gaju inflamed the discontent of the anti-black faction. It could be said to be a decisive event that erases reason and causes an explosion of emotions.

“Damn it.”

bang!

Zhuge Wenho’s face turned red as he hit the table.

He couldn’t hold back his anger, but the moment he hit the table, he regained his composure once again.

‘No matter how quickly the rumor spread, the flow of thought among the anti-black faction that gathered public opinion and decided to go to the Maengjubu is not normal.’

Even if Yeon Ho-jeong truly killed the Namgung family, people would usually be surprised and keep an eye on the Namgung family or see how things are going.

Anger only fully reveals itself when surprise subsides. It was a typical pattern of public opinion that the anger that emerged piled up and then showed itself in action.

But it’s not half a day, or at least one hour.

The fact that it was only half an hour before the action was already taken meant that there was someone in the middle strategically inciting people.

“Did you say who of the anti-black faction made the strongest claim?”

This came out without me even knowing. Honestly, I didn’t think there would be an answer to this complicated situation.

But surprisingly, the informant had the answer.

“My name is Moonju of the Blue House Advisory Council.”

“What?!”

The Cheongsajammun is a sect based in Shaanxi and can be said to be the most famous sect, excluding the Hwasan sect and the Jongnam sect.

The Cheongsajamun was also a sect that strongly hated the black sword. In other words, this means that the divide between the Black Islands and the Black Islands is deeper than that of the ordinary warriors of the White Islands political faction.

However, unlike boasting of a firm and powerful fighting style, Munju of Cheongsajamun was recognized as a person with careful and deep insight.

Are you saying that he incited the anti-black faction and led them to go to Maengjubu?

“This is crazy!”

There is something.

There is a feeling of extreme malice. There was a strong odor that did not even make you frown.

‘Why on earth are you doing this?’

Zhuge Liang established one absolute premise.

Yeon Ho-jeong did not kill the head of the Namgung family.

No matter how the situation unfolds, at least the premise must exist as an absolute fact.

And if you think about it based on that premise, the person behind this was showing a very sloppy side.

“Weird.”

Zhuge Yan, who had already recovered from the shock, mumbled.

“After such a huge act, why is the continuation so lax?”

That’s correct.

I don’t know how, but I caused the death of the Nangong family head of the world.

This is impossible with ordinary abilities. He even put the blame on Yeon Ho-jeong, so in the end, it was an act worthy of full marks in terms of planning.

But what happened after that was too lax.

If Yeon Ho-jeong had been blamed, it would have been easy to just leave it as is. Rather, it is more natural and certain that way.

In other words, there is no need to spread rumors unnaturally quickly and encourage anti-black public opinion.

However, strong men rushed in and pushed the carriage, which had already started rolling downhill, further. Even though you don’t have to!

“It’s as if they’re trying to brag about the fact that they have a dark side…” “

Yes, that’s why it’s even scarier.”

“yes?!”

Zhuge Wenhu’s face distorted.

“If this fact becomes known to everyone, the members will also know that Hojeong is not the culprit. “That alone can be considered fortunate, but what do you think about the members’ trust in the Murim Alliance?”

“ah!”

“Murim is a powerful group. Putting aside things like cause and agreement, we give trust to the group that has that level of power. “That is the common feeling of everyone who lives in Moorim.”

After the Murim League was founded, there were many ups and downs. However, there was no incident that led to the death of the Namgung family head.

That was precisely the reason why we had proceeded quietly when capturing Sejak in the past.

The Murim Alliance had to be the crystallization of power and at the same time become an unbreakable fortress. Only then will members gain trust.

But what if an incident like this breaks out in public?

Trust is bound to be shaken.

Even during the Bonggong Sejak Gun, he roughly revealed what happened after the work was over.

That’s okay. Because after everything is done.

Rather, the confidence of the members increased in the ability of the Murim Alliance to respond well.

However, if they see the bomb explosion process like now, the members’ trust is bound to hit rock bottom.

Not even once, but twice. I already caught Sejak once, but it happened again.

‘The foundation of the Murim Alliance may be shaken.’

In peacetime, this is not a problem. The sending of Sejak itself proves that it is not peaceful, but it is okay until the word ‘war’ is mentioned.

However, if you were to be attacked by Sejak twice in a situation where you never know when a war might break out, it would leave a fatal stain on the reputation of the Murim Alliance.

“First of all, we need to put an end to the situation. Gather half of the remaining troops in the inner city in front of Maengjubu and send the other half toward the central square.”

“But father! If that happens, there will be a bigger backlash from the anti-black faction…!”

“But leaving it alone is a bigger problem! “Give orders immediately!”

“…yes!”

At that time, the informant took out a letter from his pocket.

“sorry. “I should have told you this, but you seem to have been holding back, so I’m bringing it up now.”

“What happened again?”

“This is a letter believed to have been left behind by Yeonhojeong Sobuju.”

“…!!”

Zhuge Wenhu hurriedly received the letter and opened it.

“…this.”

“father? “What does it say?”

Zhuge Wenhu sighed and handed the letter to Zhuge Zhen.

Zhuge Yan, who saw the letter, gritted his teeth.

The letter contained a few short sentences.

I am innocent. Gaju Namgoong committed suicide. However, the Murim Alliance cannot stand still. I will run away until the end and resolve the matter, so you can do what you have to do.

Namgung Gaju’s claim of innocence by Yeon Ho-jeong’s suicide.

I never would have thought that the head of the Namgung family committed suicide. It was that shocking.

But what followed was even more shocking.

“father!”

“Contact the Maeng Jubu and have them issue an emergency order. “I will take action first and then report.”

Zhuge Wenhu closed his eyes.

“I will issue an order to all warriors in the inner and outer provinces to find and arrest Sobuju of Mukryongbu.”

* * *

“It’s been a while, long time no see, Bangjang Saesang.”

“Yeah, it looks good.”

In fact, the face of the ambassador who said those words to Beom-oh was full of worry.

Beom-oh sighed and said.

“I heard it on the way. “Sobuju Yeonhojeong is suspected of killing Gaju Namgung?”

“They said so.”

The rumor had already spread to Maeng Jubu. Not only the officials but also the elders were in an uproar.

“Yeon Si-ju is not that type of person.”

“I know. But if things continue like this, we will have to at least pretend to arrest them in order to quell the angry public sentiment.”

“execution.”

“The military department probably took the first step. “I guess I should also step forward officially.”

“You know the Lord of the Lotus, right?”

“That’s why it’s like this. “If I didn’t know Yeon Sobuju’s personality, I would have gone looking for him myself.”

Beom-oh sighed.

Ambassador Gong Gong looked at the young man standing behind Beom-oh.

The young man bowed his head slightly. Although he lacked manners in an audience with the world’s Murim lord, he actually suited the young man well.

“I meet the Murim Lord.”

“I see you’ve mastered an amazing assassin skill.”

“…!”

“Is the benefactor this Sima Hyeon?”

The young man, Sima Xuan, was surprised.

“How did you know that?”

Ambassador Gong Gong smiled and pointed to Beom-o.

“This monk has sent me several letters. “I heard that you reflected on yourself and made great changes in the mercy of Buddha.”

Sima Hyeon chuckled.

“I already told you about me.”

“exactly. And that you are acquainted with Sobuju.”

“It’s not a friendship, but I owe you something.”

Ambassador Gong looked at Sima Xuan blankly.

Sima Xuan’s cold and indifferent face gradually began to look uncomfortable. This is because the gaze of the public ambassador felt as if he was peering into his own heart.

After a while.

“Beomohya.”

“Yes, the head of the room will be executed.”

“It seems that you and Sima Siju were destined to come to Meng at a time like this.”

“yes?”

“Currently, the leaders and experts of the Murim Alliance cannot move hastily. This is because the mood of the members is so sharp. “I think if I make a mistake, I could even get falsely accused.”

Beom-oh’s eyes lit up.

The public ambassador took out a letter from his pocket.

“This is a letter from Yeon Sobuju. “It flew in outside the window.”

Beom-oh politely accepted the letter and opened it.

There was a place written on it.

Ambassador Gong said to Sima Xuan:

“Wouldn’t it be better to pay off your debt quickly?”

The corners of Sima Xuan’s mouth rose. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I’ll start working as soon as I get home.”

“The lord is very smart.”

“It’s because I’m so used to this kind of thing.”

Ambassador Gong Gong said to Beom-oh.

“Go to the place written in the letter. Go and help Yeon Sobuju.”
