Reclaiming History (5)

“…!”

Zhuge Li’s face changed moment by moment as he read the letters sent as payment.

He called his informants.

“Is this information true?”

“Let me check one more time.”

“No, you have to check it not just once, but at least 10 times. ASAP!”

“All right.”

“Let’s look back on the information delivery process leading up to the Murim Alliance! Hurry!”

Half a day passed like that.

Zhuge Wenhu gritted his teeth after receiving the reports from the informants.

“Is there anyone out there?!”

“Yes, soldier.”

“Bring the lord! No, no. “I have to go to Maengjubu!”

Zhuge Munho, frantically gathering various documents and letters, hurriedly headed to Meng Jufu.

After a while.

“this…?!”

There was a look of bewilderment on the Ambassador’s face.

Zhuge Wenhu nodded and said.

“We reviewed the matter several times and looked back at the process by which the information arrived.”

The information power of the Murim Alliance is comparable to openness. From the beginning, there was help from openness in the process of organizing the intelligence department, and the seals on letters that came as payment were items that could never be copied.

“You mean it’s all true?”

“That’s right.”

“…her!”

Zhuge Wenhu sighed and said.

“The open side also said that the information was true. In addition, after checking the information that the imperial palace was particularly quiet and the words and actions of the dispatched warriors, we can say that it is certain.”

The public ambassador, who was quietly reading the letter, shook his head.

“I never thought the situation would change so drastically.”

The information that came to them was about the situation at the imperial palace.

It was already known that the Shinhwa cult leader had come to the imperial palace with part of his troops.

However, the Shinhwa cult leader came to transfer to the central martial arts group, and in fact, the Shinhwa cult was currently being controlled by the minor cult leader.

It was even written that the protector who came with the religious leader attempted to assassinate the emperor.

If this were true, it was truly something out of the ordinary.

However, the letter was not just one page, and behind it was written something that was beyond imagination.

“How can His Majesty be so great…!”

The emperor’s manipulation of his own assassination.

It is said that the emperor himself, and no one else, said to make it true.

This wasn’t something that was just a surprise.

Although he lost his power, the master of the empire and ruler of all people said he would fake his own death.

The impact will be much bigger than people vaguely think. Even if not the emperor but a blood relative of the emperor dies right away, the aura of ruin is felt and heaven is angry. If a rumor is heard that the emperor has been assassinated, public sentiment will plummet to the ground.

“It seems like His Majesty is trying to take advantage of this to exploit the loopholes in the three religions.”

The public ambassador shook his head.

“Even so, this is too much for us to handle. Even if a rumor spreads, countless ordinary people will not be able to sleep due to anxiety.”

“You can’t start a rumor.”

“What do you mean?”

The shock hasn’t gone away yet, but the military is still the military. Zhuge Wenhu spoke in a stern tone.

“This rumor shouldn’t even be let go naturally. “It must be strictly controlled.”

“…?!”

“But we have to show some gaps.”

Only then did the ambassador understand Zhuge Li’s words.

“Does this mean that in order to fool the Three Religions, you have to fool all of us?”

“That’s right. And we must make it clear to the three religions’ informants that we were actively trying to hide this fact.”

The public ambassador, who was about to shout that this was nonsense, quickly kept his mouth shut.

From the leader of Shaolin to the leader of the Murim Alliance.

He has experienced things that an ordinary Buddhist and warrior could not even imagine.

Because the target was the emperor, he was momentarily distracted, but in reality, there were countless instances of information manipulation like this. Of course, every time that happened, the public ambassador showed his displeasure, but as the leader of a large organization called the Murim League, it was not his job to respond emotionally.

“I don’t think it’s something we can decide between ourselves. Since His Majesty cannot come in person, people who can represent His Majesty’s will, dispatchers, and representatives of the Black Island must also gather.”

“I also think the same way. However, as written in the letter, the imperial palace is already beginning to manipulate information.”

That is the reason why the dispatched workers are not able to return to Yanwei and Pengmugang, as well as Yangcheon.

If the emperor dies, it is normal for the entire imperial palace to be put on alert. In such a situation, it would also be a problem if the best martial arts fighters came back.

You have to give the impression that you are protecting the imperial palace. That’s why they can’t come back.

“I feel anxious.”

“yes?”

The public ambassador closed his eyes.

“From the anti-black faction warriors who were manipulated by Sejak to the imperial palace incident, there was also the problem of Shinmarim.”

“….”

“I have experienced many incidents in the past, but I have never experienced such a series of major incidents.”

“Of course.”

Ambassador Gong Gong opened his eyes again and looked out the window.

“…Is the time getting closer?”

A public ambassador who mutters to himself.

Upon hearing those words, Zhuge Munho felt goosebumps rising for a moment.

A public ambassador is a wise person. Although he could not match Zhuge Li in terms of knowledge and information analysis ability, in the larger scheme of things, he was wiser than anyone else.

Furthermore, he was also a Buddhist who suppressed even his strong desires because he was wary of his own corruption even though he was capable of reaching the highest level.

A Buddhist with deep enlightenment and a warrior whose martial arts skills have reached their peak.

Such a public ambassador was feeling anxious. And I had a premonition of something.

Zhuge Lien trusted the premonition of the public ambassador and his sixth sense.

‘War.’

The public ambassador was reading the mood of the war.

They have a intuition that the shadow of war, which has been getting closer little by little, is now just around the corner.

Zhuge Wenhu continued speaking calmly.

“There was follow-up information on the way to Maengjubu.”

“What information?”

“I have information that the Shaolin deity Muheo Daesa and the shaman Takmuja are also in the imperial palace.”

The public ambassador’s eyes changed slightly.

It was surprising, but on the surface it didn’t seem that surprising.

“I don’t know about Elder Takmu, but Master….”

“He said he didn’t want to announce it officially, so it seems like it was secretly passed on to the Murim Alliance Intelligence Department.”

“I guess so.”

The public ambassador thought.

‘Have you shaken off the devil?’

Muheo was a legend right from the start.

However, to Daesa Gong, Muheo was not the greatest power in the world who made up the stronghold of Gwonsin, but an ordinary monk who was a deeply enlightened Buddhist and well-versed in the Shaolin scriptures.

A person who was extraordinary because he was ordinary. A person who had a deeper understanding than anyone else in the company, but never revealed it.

Master Gong Gong respected his teacher not for his martial arts skills but for his character, magnanimity, and enlightenment.

Such a teacher stayed in the closed room for a long time.

The exact reason was unknown. However, all he said was, ‘You brought a wicked devil, so I’ll have to beat this guy’s head until the heavenly spirit snooping around Mt. Sumisan wakes up.’

Many years ago, when I came to the cave to hear my teacher’s voice, I was able to hear my old and tired teacher’s voice for the first time in a long time.

‘The devil is so evil that he may die here. Even if I shake off the devil and go out into the world, my life won’t be very long.’

I couldn’t figure out what he meant by saying that. I just felt extreme sadness.

However, I could feel the public ambassador now that I was in a non-performance role.

‘Master. Are you really going to leave without looking at your disciple’s face at least once?’

I knew it intuitively. There is not much time left in the life of a teacher revered by the whole world.

I don’t know why. It just felt that way.

The teacher must have come into the world not as a Buddhist, but as an adult living in the world. He must have moved based on the judgment that his life was not long.

“Whoa.”

The public ambassador took a deep breath to calm his confused mind and opened his mouth.

“Let us hurry and send the letter. “Please tell me that we need someone who can represent the imperial palace and the will of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“All right.”

“Is Yeon Sobuju still in prison?”

“no. “It’s in my residence.”

Zhuge Wenho’s face became even harder.

The ambassador’s eyes sparkled.

“why? “Do you think something happened?”

“That is…”

“Tell me.”

Zhuge Wenhu lowered his head.

“sorry. “It would be good to hear this directly from Sobuju.”

“Why don’t you at least give me a hint?”

In the end, Zhuge Munho told Ambassador Gong Gong the story that Zhuge Yan had told him.

The ambassador’s chin protruded.

“I guess I should send a message to Sobuju.”

* * *

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression was indifferent as he sat on the bench and looked up at the sky.

The atmosphere was different from usual. Is that why? Jinyang and Kangryang, as well as Beomwu and Sima Hyeon, could not easily open their mouths.

How much time has passed like that?

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up, shaking his butt.

“I’ll be back for a bit.”

Kang-ryang cleared his throat and cleared his throat.

“Where are you going?”

“The Lord is calling.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Kang-ryang scratched his head and looked at Jin-yang.

Jinyang shrugged his shoulders and said.

“If you’re bored, will you come with me?”

“Would you be bored if I were you?”

“but.”

Kang-ryang opened his eyes wondering what this meant.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Beom-oh.

“I think you can go with me, monk. “I have to report it anyway.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Sima Xuan frowned.

“What should I do?”

“It won’t happen, but if you get crazy arguments and come by, just cut them off before they come to the door.”

“Is that okay?”

“What can’t be done?”

Of course not.

Sima Xuan, who had a hard time swallowing the words that were stuck in his throat, grunted.

“I don’t know what I came here for.”

“I’m resting. Let’s straighten our hair and have a drink.”

So Yeon Ho-jeong and Beom-o left their residence and headed to a forest.

On the way to the forest, he met many warriors, but none of them made eye contact with Yeon Ho-jeong. Of course, there were people who bowed their heads and said hello once in a while.

When the two reached the forest.

“It’s still bright, but I can already see the shape of the moon.”

The sight of Gong Gong Daesa standing in the middle of a large clearing in the forest and looking up at the sky was reminiscent of a stone Buddha with his hands clasped together.

The public ambassador continued calmly.

“People think day and night are different. However, there must be day in order for there to be night, and there must be night in order for there to be day. “How can we say that day and night are different when the moon comes first and gives us warnings before turning into night?”

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.

“Still, there are many people who hate the darkness of the night.”

“I guess it’s because I’m not familiar with it. “Didn’t the moon called you come to tell us about the warmth of that night?”

“If the darkness is stained with deep-rooted hatred and hatred, no matter how bright the moonlight is, it only brings fear to those who live in broad daylight.”

“I will hang a flower lantern in that darkness. “I will definitely do it, even if it means risking everything.”

“Darkness is not only at night. “It’s dark even if you close your eyes.”

“Let’s make each closed eye open one by one.”

“Is that why the Murimmaeng will use it?”

“It has to be even more so since we are part of the Murim League.”

“Do it after the war is over.”

Ambassador Gong Gong turned his head to Yeon Ho-jeong.

Uncharacteristically bloodshot eyes. There was passion on his face.

“If you’re going to leave, take me down from my position as leader and leave. If you can’t do that, I won’t let you go either.”
