Episode 418
Between Peace and Trouble (4)
“Ambassador.”
“Hehe, construction work is probably going to be over, so I don’t know if you came here for no reason.”
“Is that possible? “Please sit down here.”
“Then please excuse me.”
After a while, Ambassador Gong Gong and Zhuge Wenhu sat facing Datak.
The public ambassador asked more directly than usual.
“What is the current situation in Guangdong?”
“Based on what has been reported so far, it is difficult to say that it is very good.”
Zhuge Wenhu said, looking through several documents with a cold face.
“I will tell you based on the reports that have been made so far. First of all….”
Zhuge Wenho conveyed the situation as much as was clearly summarized. Completely excluding your own opinions.
The public ambassador’s eyes deepened.
“I guess so.”
“The good news is that we have captured a high-ranking expert of the Saeumgyo. This can be considered a truly remarkable achievement. The Shinhwa cult leader Lee Ho, who is currently imprisoned in the Murim League prison, is almost completely out of his mind. “It is a great feat to be able to capture a high-ranking person under these circumstances.”
“The problem is that if the situation over there goes wrong, even that great feat loses its meaning.”
“That’s right.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
“What is also fortunate is that the intelligence advisor directly participated in this operation, so we were able to quickly determine the location of high-ranking officials in Guangdong.”
“I guess so.”
“If according to the report, the person named Yayuljeok, a contemporary eumshin and the leader of Saeumgyo, would reveal his will to kill, and it would be Seungseonpojeongsasa.”
“I think so too. If the work system of Seungseonpojeongsa Temple collapses, Guangdong Province will become chaos in an instant. “Due to the nature of the region, it will take several times longer than other regions to restore public sentiment and overhaul the system.”
An unexpected expression appeared on Zhuge Li’s face.
“You’re amazing. “The Ambassador seems to be well aware of the current situation in Guangdong Province.”
It was not about ignoring public ambassadors.
This may not be true in other regions, but Guangdong Province was the southernmost part of the Central Plains. Even though trade was active due to its proximity to the sea, it was not easy for even the experienced Kang-ho Noh to know the current status of Guangdong Province, which developed independently without having a strong influence on the central economy.
The public ambassador smiled.
“There are a lot of people who know there. “It’s not as good as the military, but I know it to some extent.”
“You are amazing.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
“So you said that.”
“hmm?”
“So, you gave the order to the master of the Diamond Fist Gate to go to Foshan.”
The public ambassador laughed bitterly.
“I guess you already knew.”
“Oh, I’m telling you this in case you misunderstand, but I’m not offended at all. “I thought there must be a reason since it is what the Ambassador does.”
“Of course there is a reason. But I also have a lot of worries alone, so I forgot the most obvious procedure.”
Zhuge Wenhu did not say no. Whatever the intention, it was wrong to send friendly troops separately without telling the military officer in charge of the operation.
The reporting system was not created for nothing. Even if the public ambassador was a leader, this was wrong.
The public ambassador quietly recited the fire.
“I came to talk about this even now. But if you already knew, the old man is truly shameless.”
“Haha, it’s okay. Next time, please tell us in advance.”
“Of course it will, and it will never happen again in the first place.”
“But what happens to Foshan?”
The public ambassador’s eyes deepened.
“I also spoke to shaman Jang Mun-jin. “There are great adults there, regardless of whether they are in the middle or high school.”
Zhuge Wen-ho’s face was filled with surprise after hearing the short story.
“Why are the high priests from all over the place there…?”
“I’m sorry. This is something that affects the entire midfield. “No matter how much I am a soldier, it is difficult for me to speak with my mouth.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“At the same time, I will tell you this because I am a shaman and a soldier. “I don’t think you two will ever touch that place.”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“You mean this? It’s related to Shaolin, the greatest leader in the Central Plains. “Even the most curious person in the world will shake their head.”
This was Zhuge Li’s sincerity.
Each of the nine factions and the six major clans has secret corners that are not made public.
It may be a humanitarian matter, or it may be a matter of life or death for the sect. Or, as much as we hope not, it could be a very vicious secret.
If it had been an individual’s affair, the public ambassador would have kept this part completely hidden. However, if the entire Chinese and Central Plains were involved, even Zhuge Literary would be reluctant to investigate.
“But that fact is truly surprising. “There are legendary monks who practiced Buddhist martial arts there…”
“To be exact, there are far more of them from scholarly monks than from martial monks.”
“okay.”
“These are people who have given up on the path to enlightenment and burn the rest of their lives for Buddhism. My feelings about asking such people for this kind of request are also truly complicated. What can I do? “If we make a mistake, the lives of the common people will end due to foreign invasion.”
“I really appreciate your words. “The only thing I’m curious about is that if you were going to tell me directly like this, couldn’t we have taken it into consideration when planning the strategy?”
The public ambassador sighed.
“That’s exactly why.”
“What do you mean?”
“They will not move easily despite my request. “These are people who have left Buddhism halfway and those who burn their lives for only one purpose.”
“…!”

“I didn’t want to affect the operation with something I wasn’t sure was actually possible. Even if it is helpful, isn’t this the responsibility of the Murim Alliance? “I would be grateful if they could help me, but I didn’t think it was right to criticize them for not helping me.”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“I understand what you mean.”
Although he says that it is something that could end the lives of the common people, he ultimately draws the line that it is the work of the Murim Alliance.
At first glance, you may think these words are incoherent, but these were remarks that proved that the public ambassador’s distinction between public and private matters is excellent.
We cannot sit idly by and watch as the lives of the common people are ruined. However, there must be an inevitable distinction between those who take responsibility for the matter and those who do not.
Although he did not tell the soldier himself in advance, such an aspect of a public ambassador can be said to be an aspect of being the leader of a large organization called Shaolin.
“If they could move, it would be a really big help.”
“I just hope so.”
The public ambassador whetted his appetite.
“Since you are well-versed in the movements of the government officials, it would be good if you could block the evil spirit’s attack at least once.”
“yes? You say you have mastered the movements of Gwanbu? “Them?”
“Of course. Bulsan was a mountain that was heavily controlled by the government.”
“…!”
“If they had not built a relationship with the government officials, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to do ‘that work’ in Bulsan.”
“I see…”
Zhuge Wenhu realized that something happening in Foshan was much bigger than his vague idea.
Ambassador Gong continued.
“Anyway, it’s really unfortunate that the situation turned out that way. I believe that Dae-su Yeon will do well somehow…”
“Dae-su Yeon will do well. As always. However, since we are human, we can make mistakes and face failures. “There is no doubt about one’s personal capabilities, but one may have to intervene in Guangdong politics while managing people.”
“Hmm.”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“Whether it works or not, now the only way is to believe and wait.”
“Hehe, at times like this, I really reflect on our attitude of using age as an excuse to stay in our closets and only look at the floating clouds.”
“Don’t think like that. In any organization, high-ranking personnel should not act carelessly. “I believe the Ambassador is well aware of this.”
The ambassador drank his tea in silence. He was trying to forget his frustration with a sip of tea.
Zhuge Munho, who was looking at him silently, exclaimed for a moment.
“Oh, and I was planning to announce this issue at the public meeting.”
“hmm?”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
“Speaking of ignorance, do you have any ties to the Botha-Am clan?”
“You mean the Botaam from the legend of Kenhu?”
“That’s right.”
“Of course. “We exchange letters every year.”
“Um…”
“What’s going on?”
“Botaarm’s movements are unusual.”
The ambassador’s face hardened.
“You’re saying it’s not that serious? “What is that?”
“We have received reports that factional fighting within Bothaam has become quite chaotic. However, since it was not clearly confirmed, I left it as is.”
“…?!”
“Recently, I received intelligence that a high-ranking person within Botaam entered Hunan Province. And as a result of inferring the destination of the greeting….”
Zhuge Wenhu cleared his throat.
“The interpretation was that it was the Ink Dragon Club.”
“…!!”
* * *
Pop. Pop.
Drops of sweat fell from Lee Cheol-kyung’s forehead and wet the floor.
“Hmm.”
The intimidating feeling of the softly resonating voice was truly amazing.
“Is that so?”
“…That’s right.”
“It seems like Ambassador Bangjang was in quite a hurry. Oh, was the head of the room at the time Gong Gong?”
“yes.”
“Gonggong… Gonggong has been famous for its outstanding abilities since ancient times. “He has a lot of talent in many fields and has been evaluated as a person who can lead Shaolin.”
“….”
“But my thoughts were different. Gong Gong’s eyes on the world were always clear and deep, but his greatest talent was martial arts. “If he had risked his life for that martial arts feat, he would have probably crossed the border of no polarity and imprinted his unwritten status as a famous king on the world by now.”
Cold sweat continued to seep from Lee Cheol-kyung’s forehead as he listened to the old man’s voice clicking his tongue softly.
How old is the public ambassador? Moreover, he is the Shaolin leader of the time. This means that he is a giant who is recognized in the midfield for both his seniority and distribution.
People talk about such people as if they were children. It was difficult to guess the age and distribution of the elderly.
“Did you say you were Brother Lee’s bloodline?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s a shame. “My brother won’t be able to move for a while.”
“Are you unwell…?”
“Puh! I’m not feeling well. The most lively person among us at that age is your great-grandfather. “I felt like I had another twenty years to live.”
“ah! Fortunately, the.”
“Anyway, that’s how things are going, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm, but if you’re the head of Shaolin, you probably don’t know how unreasonable this is to ask…” “
…”
“Huh! There is no choice. “To dig up this place, the power of officials is essential.”
“Are you helping me?”
“We are people who have taken a step away from Buddhism. That means it does not belong to the world.”
“…!”
“Those on active duty should be held responsible for the chaos of the time. However, since the situation is like this, I think I should at least serve as a shield for a while.”
“Thank you!”
“There is nothing to be thankful for. By the way, where is the Ahae of openness who came with you? “I will make a move after hearing the details.”
“I’ll call you right away!”
“OK.”
Cheol-kyung Lee left the cave.
The old man sitting in the cave clicked his tongue and stood up.
“They say the tree tries to stay still, but the wind doesn’t stop. It was truly a rough last year.”
