Episode 500.
Time for Patience (5)
After the meeting was over, Bonggong and the elders left the meeting room.
Zhuge Wenhu, who had been keeping his position the whole time, saw the ambassador stand up for the last time.
The public ambassador just nodded his head without saying a word and left the meeting room. I guess that means we’ll talk about it in detail later.
“Whoa.”
Zhuge Munho sighed, cleared the table, and left the conference hall.
It was then.
“I think the conversation ended well.”
Zhuge Wenhu turned his head to the side.
There was Yeon Ho-jeong, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, and Mo Yong-gun, who could not attend the meeting because he was busy managing Hyeongdang.
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
“You two?”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“There are three people. “Me and Mr. Moyong started it, and Ambassador Gong Gong finished it.”
Zhuge Munho, who was quietly looking at the two people, suddenly asked.
“how?”
Prince Moyong said calmly.
“Yonghwajinin was someone who shared the same thoughts as this person for a time. “There are few people who know as much about the power struggles within a volcano as I do.”
“So that’s it? To help with this Yonghwajin incident, did you bring in the Yongseonjin people, who were at odds with the Yonghwajin people, and give them strength?”
Yes.
Since Yonghwajin is dead, the backlash from the volcano faction will be extreme. Regardless of what kind of personality Yonghwajin possesses, he is a member of the Hwasan faction.
However, there were many people in the Hwasan faction who thought that Yonghwajinin was not a long seal. To be precise, there were people who disliked and hated him.
Yongseonjinin was one of those people. He was a person who thought that the reputation of the Hwasan Sect was falling to the ground due to the snobbish nature of the Yonghwajin people.
And it was so. Although the Hwasan faction was still a prestigious family in the central region, it was losing its solid reputation from the past day by day.
For that reason, another faction of Hwasan is secretly trying to impeach Yonghwajin. The leader of that faction was Yongseonjinin.
And Yongseonjinin very willingly accepted the proposals of Yeonhojeong and Moyonggun.
“Yongseonjinin is a realistic person. In that respect, it is similar to Yonghwajinin. However, due to his nature, Yonghwajin was only focused on accumulating treasures. Yongseonjinin is different. “He has a dream to restore the volcano’s glory of the past with a realistic plan.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Furthermore, he is a person who has a desire to make a big contribution in this war. “I also have a desire to become a scholar and reform Hwasan.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes became sharp.
“So, are you planning to make Yongseonjinin a long-faced person?”
“That is beyond our capabilities.”
Moyong shrugged his shoulders.
“Deciding on the leader within Jaffa is something that only those who are involved cannot be involved in. However, if I and the public ambassador certify to the outside world the character and abilities of Yongseonjin, I think there is a greater possibility of becoming a Jangmunin than any other person.”
Zhuge Munho, who was silently looking at the two people, soon sighed.
“Why don’t you at least tell me?”
“Would you like to give me a hint? “Did you tell me to proceed with this because of my military nature?”
“Given the nature of the Moyong family, wouldn’t it have been carried out somehow even if I was against it? And…”
Zhuge Wenhu glanced at Yeon Hao-jeong.
“Especially if Daesoo Yeon agrees.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“I just apologize for doing something like this without consulting you. But…”
“Yes. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves, but to work together somehow to get through this difficult situation. “It’s not like I don’t know how you feel.”
“thank you.”
“But this method doesn’t work. I also chose an overly drastic method to catch Sejak, but are you thinking of changing the head of the sect? “This really crosses the line.”
Mo Yong smiled coldly.
“Didn’t the soldier tell you? “We are at war.”
“….”
“Anything can happen during war. Even more so, helping the military’s dream of uniting the Murim Alliance. “But isn’t it an overly optimistic view of the situation to say that we have crossed the line with something like this?”
“Moyonggaju.”
“Shouldn’t you be grateful?”
“…What are you talking about?”
“You are the one who said that you would make sure that the Murim Maeng could function properly before finding a person suitable for the vacant Maeng Juwi position. “If you do it, you should be grateful, but why bother us so much?”
Moyong-gun frowned.
“You really thought you could be forgiven by apologizing to your volcano? “Did you think someone would come forward and save you?”
“….”
“Or are you just offended by the fact that something like this happened in a place you didn’t know about?”
Zhuge Wenho’s face hardened.
“Your words are harsh.”
“Look at the situation clearly!”
Moyong’s voice carried great power.
“Giving up is essential for those with ambition. If it were a world where people could achieve what they want while taking care of everything that is right, there would be no war. Do you understand?”
“….”
“If you have a dream that you want to achieve, don’t pay attention to what those around you think. Even if your pride is hurt, just keep walking forward. “It’s not enough to spit in the faces of the idiots who point fingers in the name of morality and ethics, but are you so absorbed in a fantasy that seems plausible that you’ve crossed the line and are just talking nonsense?”
“….”
“If you’re trying to play charlatan, get down from there. “If you really want to achieve your desired goal, throw away the clothes of obsession as soon as possible, which are only sweet to hear but have little substance.”
Prince Moyong left after saying those words. He was very angry at Zhuge Munho’s lukewarm attitude.

Zhuge Wenhu asked Yeon Hao-jeong.
“Is that what you think too?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I am not crazy enough to fully sympathize with Mo Yongaju’s heartless words. “The author has lived like that and that is why he can say things like that without hesitation.”
“….”
“However, there is definitely something to think about in Moyongaju’s words.”
Zhuge Wenhu sighed again.
“Be honest. Like Mo Yong-gaju said, I may have really had a vague idea that somehow I would be okay.”
“Soldiers are people too. “Anyone can get tired.”
“Yes, there is something right about what Moyongaju said. “Maybe he wanted to wake me up from my overly light-hearted view of the situation.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“This is an overinterpretation. “That person is not that kind of person.”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“Whatever it was, I realized it again. “I am exhausted, and I do not see the situation as urgently as you or the Moryong family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say no. Not because of that, but because it seemed like no matter what I said, I wouldn’t be able to comfort Zhuge Liang.
“But still, this has to end just this once. No matter how serious the situation is, you should not try to change the leader of another faction to your liking.”
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.
“I will be careful.”
I’m not saying I won’t do that. This may not be the case in most cases, but it meant that there would be no restrictions on methods when the situation was urgent.
Zhuge Wenhu could know that. But he did not criticize Yeon Ho-jeong.
There are as many personalities in the world as there are people in existence. Yeon Ho-jeong and himself had different values.
“Should I go to my place for a while?”
“That’s right.”
Surprisingly, there was a public ambassador and a senior official in front of the military department’s residence.
Zhuge Wenhu asked in surprise.
“How are you two here…?”
The public ambassador said with a smile.
“I want to talk about various things for the future of the Murim Alliance, but aren’t the soldiers who know the Alliance best? That’s why I came here.”
Yeonwi shrugged his shoulders.
“I agree.”
Zhuge Wenhu knew. The public ambassador came to comfort him.
‘This is true.’
It seemed like he was worrying people for no reason. I was somehow embarrassed.
Zhuge Munho, who was quietly watching the public speech, suddenly spoke.
“It was uncharacteristically harsh for an ambassador.”
It was said about Yongseonjinin.
The public ambassador nodded.
“I know.”
“Gaju Moyong and Daesoo Yeon said they could do that, but the Ambassador shouldn’t have done that.”
“I don’t have the courage to see the military.”
There are no excuses whatsoever. The public ambassador apologized plainly.
Zhuge Wenhu somehow felt himself laughing.
“How do you feel when you get scolded by your junior?”
“I feel good. “The reason is that I am glad that the spirit of peace is alive and well in my heart even while doing the difficult military work.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“However, Binseung, I don’t think this incident has crossed the line. “It was a drastic thing, if anything.”
“If you think that way, I have nothing to say either.”
Zhuge Wenhu opened the door to his office.
“Please come inside.”
After a while, four people sat down at a table in the middle.
Ambassador Gong Gong spoke first.
“The atmosphere in the conference room was so heavy that there were some questions I couldn’t ask about.”
“Please speak.”
“Was Se-jak a windbreaker and his contact person in the clothing troupe? “Who was the manager?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“The owner of the Moyong family said that he was the vice-owner of Hyeongdang.”
“You are the deputy head of Jingdang….”
Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.
“I have something to tell you about that too.”
“hmm?”
“Many people died in the explosion of the prison. There are many people whose bodies have not even been recovered. but….”
“…?”
“A body presumed to be the deputy head of the execution house, Released Heon, was found inside the prison.”
The ambassador’s eyes widened. Yeonwi also looked surprised.
“Then what…?”
“If he is really the deputy head of Bang Hwan-heon, it means that the manager is learning a bizarre martial art that can instantly change a person’s face.”
If it had been human skin, the authorities would have recognized it immediately. In other words, the manager did not wear a face mask that looked exactly like Release Heon, but actually transformed his face.
“It may be similar to the Chukgongong, but it is a martial art so sophisticated that it cannot even be compared to it. “It’s amazing that the same face as the other person can change in such a short period of time.”
“Huh.”
“Also, the body of Deungcheongyo Jang Mun-in has not been found. In other words, it can be said that Jang Mun-in has been acting as a manager.”
The public ambassador’s eyes wavered.
It is said that not one, but two of the old faction’s long sentences were the enemy’s three works.
“This can’t be right….”
“I don’t know how to convey this fact to the community faction. Cheongseong is also Cheongseong, but Daoists of the communal sect are generally famous for their strong pride and fiery temper. Rather, they may criticize the Murim Alliance for lying or withdraw from it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“All you have to do is say that Deungcheongyo Jang Mun-in was replaced.”
“hmm?”
“If a manager has learned martial arts that allows him to imitate the other person’s face, there is no way he can’t imitate the face of a famous person. “It’s enough to let them know that he was also a victim of that kind of thing.”
“…huh.”
Yeonwi sighed.
“Are you telling me to lie?”
“yes.”
You answer so confidently that I have nothing to say.
Yeonho also sighed.
“Actually, that’s not what’s important right now. “The real issue is that we may have to be patient for a while.”
“A time for patience?”
Yeon Ho-jeong saw Zhuge Mun-ho.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“For the time being, the Murim Alliance… may have to be operated in a semi-closed gate format.”
“…!!”
