Episode 802Mandate of Heaven (2)
The day when the Mukryongbu appointed a successor.
The Murim League delegation was already right around the corner from the Murim League.
Since we ran without stopping for a moment except for sleeping time, the time it took us from Hebuk to Hanam was truly incredibly fast.
But no one told me to take a break because it was hard. This was because they all keenly felt the seriousness of the situation.
However, among them, Yeonwi seemed to have some leeway.
It was when the party passed the guard post in Daebyeolsan Murim Alliance territory.
â100 million!â
Zhuge Yan shouted with a surprised face.
âfather!â
On the mountain path leading to the Murim League, Zhuge Li was standing with his back turned.
Zhuge Wenhu took possession of the gun.
âThank you for your hard work at the imperial palace.â
Yan Wei and Peng Wujiang faced each other and took power.
âIt was nothing.â
Zhuge Wenho straightened his back and looked at his daughter with a smile.
âHow was it? âWhat about the imperial palace?â
âThe brutality was beyond words.â
âYes, it was a lot of hard work.â
âBut father, rather than that nowâ¦â
âGo into the Murim Alliance first.â
âyes?â
Zhuge Wenhu said while looking at Peng Wugang.
âIâm sorry, but I have something to talk about separately with Yeongaju, so could you join me first with your daughter?â
Peng Wugang nodded with a heavy expression.
âI will say this.â
âthank you.â
âBefore that, letâs ask one question.â
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
âWhat you are worried about has not happened. Do not worry.â
ââ¦Really?â
âThatâs right. And we will prevent it from happening in the future. Thatâs why Iâm here now.â
Peng Wugang sighed.
âThank you.â
âDonât say that. âJust as the two of you risked your lives to do what you had to do, Iâm just doing what I have to do here.â
âThank you, though.â
âhaha.â
Peng Wugang headed to the Murim Alliance with Zhuge Yan.
Yan Yu and Zhuge Wenhu looked at each other in silence.
After a while.
âItâs duller than I thought.â
The person who smiled and spoke first was Zhuge Munho.
Yeonwi laughed bitterly.
âexactly?â
âyes.â
âI was so busy running that I couldnât even pay attention to what I was doing.â
âHaha, thatâs not what I meant.â
âhmm?â
âItâs the facial expression.â
Yeonwi was shocked.
Zhuge Wenhu shrugged his shoulders.
âI thought that Daesoo Yeon would have asked the head of the household for consent first before making such a decision. But now I see thatâs not the case.â
âMy son is all grown up. I am seeing the world through my own eyes and serving the world in my own way. âThere is no need for him to tell me, his father, his judgment.â
âThatâs right. There will be no other person like Yeon Dae-su in the world. Stillâ¦â
Zhuge Wenhu scratched his head.
âEven if you pretend not to be Yeon Daesoo, doesnât he take care of his family a lot?â
âexactly.â
âEspecially in this case, there is no way that the smart kite master wouldnât know that there would be quite scary repercussions. So, I thought I would have at least told Lord Yeonga first.â
âI never said that, but I had a feeling that something unusual was going to happen.â
âI see.â
âAnd as Abby, all I have to say is take care of yourself.â
Zhuge Wenhu laughed without even realizing it.
âThey are truly an amazing father and son. âIf it were me, I would have been curious as to what he was doing.â
Yeonwi chuckled.
Zhuge Wenhu stopped laughing and spoke seriously.
âArenât you sure that this is Dae Su Yeonâs will and not Mukryong Bujuâs will?â
âThatâs right. âI understand that the military was also contacted separately.â
âYes, it came to me too. Still, I asked just in case.â
âThis is a guy who would have refused even if his head were torn off if it wasnât the right way to do it in his opinion. âNo matter who did it first, this result came about because Hojeong accepted it.â
âI think so too.â
Zhuge Wenhu pointed with his hand to a flat rock next to him.
Two people sat side by side on a rock, looking down the mountainside road.
âAs you may have guessed, it is a little noisy inside the Murim Alliance.â
âI guess not a little bit.â
âItâs a little bit better than I expected. Of course, in the eyes of Lord Yeonga, there will be no such turmoil.â
Yeonwi sighed.
âNo matter what, I just feel sorry for the seniors. âI have become a nuisance to everyone.â
âHow can this be Yeongajuâs fault?â
âI love and support my son, but if someone is harmed by what he did, it is my fault as the father.â
âItâs the same with him. âHow can we just say that this is Yeon Dae-suâs fault?â
âMilitary.â
âItâs the fault of the three schools.â
Zhuge Liâs face was more serious than ever.
âIt is their fault for invading our peaceful world. âIt is the fault of the three religions that made geniuses who could soar much higher end up rolling in the mud.â
ââ¦.â
âThe situation between the three schools made the world what it is today.â
âThe world is ultimately created by people.â
âSo itâs not Dae-su Yeonâs fault. Rather, it would not be enough for all of us to bow our heads and say thank you to Master Yeon.â
Yeon Wei couldnât help but be moved by Zhuge Munhoâs words.
However, he did not accept Zhuge Munhoâs words as they were. My son has certainly made a lot of contributions, but credit is just credit.
Zhuge Wenho read Yan Weiâs expression like a ghost.
âDo you know?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âAs a soldier, I have to be suspicious of everyone.â
ââ¦.â
âEven blood relatives cannot love comfortably like before. I believe it wonât happen, but the military is a position where all possibilities must be considered. âThose who should not be trusted by anyone except me are the military.â
A look of pity appeared on Yeonwiâs face.
How stuffy and unhappy is the life of someone who trusts no one but themselves. Although I had heard this before, I felt like I could understand the weight of responsibility that weighed on Zhuge Liâs shoulders.
Zhuge Wenhu lowered his head.
âThis is the path I chose. It wasnât because he ordered me to join the military, but I agreed to it. âThis much is natural.â
âI have nothing to say.â
âBut.â
ââ¦?â
âStrangely enough, I couldnât doubt the number of kites.â
Yeonwiâs eyes wavered.
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
âIt would be similar for Gong Daesa, Seung Hyeon-jin, and most of the Murim Alliance officials and elders. Do you know why?â
ââ¦.â
âYes, you wouldnât know. Yeon Ga-ju, who is a blood relative, may not know. âHe is my beloved child, but Yeon Ga-joo will never know, because he thinks we are all the same, except that he has outstanding talents and monstrous talents.â
Zhuge Liâs words struck Yeon Weiâs heart precisely.
It was also a statement that completely analyzed Yeonwiâs personality. Yeonwi loved her family, but she did not think that her family should receive special treatment over others.
I donât love you because itâs special. Itâs special only to me because I love it.
Yeonwi was a person who was very good at making that distinction.
âDaesu Yeon, no, Hojeongâs eyes were always burning.â
ââ¦.â
âThat fire did not go out even when we were eating, sparring, practicing, or even when we were devising strategies and tactics with me. âI couldnât see it, but I would venture to guess that Hojeong was burning with anger toward the three religions even while he was sleeping.â
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
âYou have to be suspicious. The Goteiâs every move was moving against the three religions. Looking at Hojeong, I even thought that he might be the heaven-sent natural enemy of the three religions.â
ââ¦actually.â
Yeonwi sighed.
âThatâs right?â
Zhuge Wenhu laughed bitterly.
âThatâs right. If you think about it, none of the three religions that Gojeong fought against were safe. At that level, it can truly be considered a natural enemy.â
âHuhâ¦â
âIn that respect, I am not an ideal soldier. Still, I canât help it. âWhen it comes to matters related to martial arts politics and the three religions, I trust the Gojeong more than my blood relatives.â
The two were silent for a moment.
This time too, it was Zhuge Munho who spoke first.
âBut hojeong goes too far.â
ââ¦.â
âOf course it doesnât matter to us. âI donât know where or who we are, but weâre okay anyway.â
ââ¦.â
âThe problem is those who do not belong to that cage. Among them, there are those who are greedy for power, there are those who are recklessly jealous of those who are well-off and try to bring them down, and there are also those who simply hate those who stand out without any reason. Of course, there will be many people who will try to use it.â
âI know.â
âAnd itâs a world where there are far more non-us than us.â
Yeonwi nodded.
Zhuge Wenhu said while looking at Yan Yuâs side face.
âI received a good report on what happened at the imperial palace, but there are probably many things missing here and there.â
âThatâs right. âThere were many things that were difficult to write down in a letter.â
âCan I listen to it here first?â
âSo be it.â
Yan Wei told everything that happened in the imperial palace.
Meeting with the Empress Meeting with the Emperor.
Everything from the flow and outcome of the battle that took place in the imperial palace to the private conversation with the emperor.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
âHis Majesty the Emperor said that he would be a reliable ally.â
âexactly. Andâ¦â SÑará´h the nôᴠel Fire.nÑt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI will unite the world.â
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
âDo you agree?â
âMy doctor has nothing to do with it.â
âIt has to do with it.â
Yeonwi nodded.
âHonestly, itâs not wrong. âI knew that His Majesty the Emperorâs will was firm, seeing that he came to consult with Okche even while treating him harshly.â
âWhat about your abilities?â
âWe had a passing conversation about administrative matters.â
Yeonwi sighed.
âI couldnât guess. âThe depth and vastness.â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes wavered.
Although he did not stand out as a member of the Murim League, Yeonwi was a person who took good care of the lives of the people of Gangdong. So to speak, he is a famous king of Gangdong.
Of course, it wasnât just Yeonwi. In order to hear the voices of losers in a region, everyone must have a high level of ability.
If such a connection felt an unfathomable depth, it would mean that the emperorâs knowledge and wisdom were much greater than expected.
Zhuge Wenhu suddenly saw the sword hanging on Yan Weiâs belt.
âIs that the imperial sword?â
âexactly.â
âCheonra Imperial Sword⦠I think you can tell just by looking at that sword that His Majesty the Emperor is determined to take action.â
Zhuge Wenhu smiled and continued.
âBuy me a drink later. âYou are loved so much that people around you are jealous.â
âWould it be funny if I said 10 words?â
âha ha ha!â
Zhuge Liâs smile was clear and refreshing as always.
If you think about it, there was no one as great as him. The military was a place where one had to be suspicious of everyone, but at the same time, it was also a place where one could hold and shake such powerful power.
Nevertheless, Zhuge Liang never once wielded that power for personal reasons. His eyes and ears were always open to the world, and he never felt envious or jealous even when he saw someone who was well-off.
So Yeon Wei trusted Zhuge Literary Emperor. I liked him as a person, but I also liked his integrity and sense of responsibility.
However, I couldnât help but be shocked by Zhuge Munhoâs words, as if the sky was falling.
âYeongaju.â
âPlease speak.â
âYou must be prepared.â
âWhat resolution do you mean?â
Zhuge Wenhuâs eyes lit up.
âCan you isolate yourself from Hojeong?â
