Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 802

Episode 802

Mandate 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.

“100 million!”

Zhuge Yan shouted with a surprised face.

“father!”

On the mountain path leading to the Murim League, Zhuge Li was standing with his back turned.

Zhuge Wenhu took possession of the gun.

“Thank you for your hard work at the imperial palace.”

Yan Wei and Peng Wujiang faced each other and took power.

“It was nothing.”

Zhuge Wenho straightened his back and looked at his daughter with a smile.

“How was it? “What about the imperial palace?”

“The brutality was beyond words.”

“Yes, it was a lot of hard work.”

“But father, rather than that now…”

“Go into the Murim Alliance first.”

“yes?”

Zhuge Wenhu said while looking at Peng Wugang.

“I’m sorry, but I have something to talk about separately with Yeongaju, so could you join me first with your daughter?”

Peng Wugang nodded with a heavy expression.

“I will say this.”

“thank you.”

“Before that, let’s ask one question.”

Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.

“What you are worried about has not happened. Do not worry.”

“…Really?”

“That’s right. And we will prevent it from happening in the future. That’s why I’m here now.”

Peng Wugang sighed.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t say that. “Just as the two of you risked your lives to do what you had to do, I’m just doing what I have to do here.”

“Thank you, though.”

“haha.”

Peng Wugang headed to the Murim Alliance with Zhuge Yan.

Yan Yu and Zhuge Wenhu looked at each other in silence.

After a while.

“It’s duller than I thought.”

The person who smiled and spoke first was Zhuge Munho.

Yeonwi laughed bitterly.

“exactly?”

“yes.”

“I was so busy running that I couldn’t even pay attention to what I was doing.”

“Haha, that’s not what I meant.”

“hmm?”

“It’s the facial expression.”

Yeonwi was shocked.

Zhuge Wenhu shrugged his shoulders.

“I thought that Daesoo Yeon would have asked the head of the household for consent first before making such a decision. But now I see that’s not the case.”

“My son is all grown up. I am seeing the world through my own eyes and serving the world in my own way. “There is no need for him to tell me, his father, his judgment.”

“That’s right. There will be no other person like Yeon Dae-su in the world. Still…”

Zhuge Wenhu scratched his head.

“Even if you pretend not to be Yeon Daesoo, doesn’t he take care of his family a lot?”

“exactly.”

“Especially in this case, there is no way that the smart kite master wouldn’t know that there would be quite scary repercussions. So, I thought I would have at least told Lord Yeonga first.”

“I never said that, but I had a feeling that something unusual was going to happen.”

“I see.”

“And as Abby, all I have to say is take care of yourself.”

Zhuge Wenhu laughed without even realizing it.

“They are truly an amazing father and son. “If it were me, I would have been curious as to what he was doing.”

Yeonwi chuckled.

Zhuge Wenhu stopped laughing and spoke seriously.

“Aren’t you sure that this is Dae Su Yeon’s will and not Mukryong Buju’s will?”

“That’s right. “I understand that the military was also contacted separately.”

“Yes, it came to me too. Still, I asked just in case.”

“This is a guy who would have refused even if his head were torn off if it wasn’t the right way to do it in his opinion. “No matter who did it first, this result came about because Hojeong accepted it.”

“I think so too.”

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.

“As you may have guessed, it is a little noisy inside the Murim Alliance.”

“I guess not a little bit.”

“It’s a little bit better than I expected. Of course, in the eyes of Lord Yeonga, there will be no such turmoil.”

Yeonwi sighed.

“No matter what, I just feel sorry for the seniors. “I have become a nuisance to everyone.”

“How can this be Yeongaju’s fault?”

“I love and support my son, but if someone is harmed by what he did, it is my fault as the father.”

“It’s the same with him. “How can we just say that this is Yeon Dae-su’s fault?”

“Military.”

“It’s the fault of the three schools.”

Zhuge Li’s face was more serious than ever.

“It is their fault for invading our peaceful world. “It is the fault of the three religions that made geniuses who could soar much higher end up rolling in the mud.”

“….”

“The situation between the three schools made the world what it is today.”

“The world is ultimately created by people.”

“So it’s not Dae-su Yeon’s fault. Rather, it would not be enough for all of us to bow our heads and say thank you to Master Yeon.”

Yeon Wei couldn’t help but be moved by Zhuge Munho’s words.

However, he did not accept Zhuge Munho’s words as they were. My son has certainly made a lot of contributions, but credit is just credit.

Zhuge Wenho read Yan Wei’s expression like a ghost.

“Do you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“As a soldier, I have to be suspicious of everyone.”

“….”

“Even blood relatives cannot love comfortably like before. I believe it won’t happen, but the military is a position where all possibilities must be considered. “Those who should not be trusted by anyone except me are the military.”

A look of pity appeared on Yeonwi’s 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 Li’s shoulders.

Zhuge Wenhu lowered his head.

“This is the path I chose. It wasn’t because he ordered me to join the military, but I agreed to it. “This much is natural.”

“I have nothing to say.”

“But.”

“…?”

“Strangely enough, I couldn’t doubt the number of kites.”

Yeonwi’s eyes wavered.

Zhuge Wenhu sighed.

“It would be similar for Gong Daesa, Seung Hyeon-jin, and most of the Murim Alliance officials and elders. Do you know why?”

“….”

“Yes, you wouldn’t know. Yeon Ga-ju, who is a blood relative, may not know. “He 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.”

Zhuge Li’s words struck Yeon Wei’s heart precisely.

It was also a statement that completely analyzed Yeonwi’s personality. Yeonwi loved her family, but she did not think that her family should receive special treatment over others.

I don’t love you because it’s special. It’s special only to me because I love it.

Yeonwi was a person who was very good at making that distinction.

“Daesu Yeon, no, Hojeong’s eyes were always burning.”

“….”

“That fire did not go out even when we were eating, sparring, practicing, or even when we were devising strategies and tactics with me. “I couldn’t see it, but I would venture to guess that Hojeong was burning with anger toward the three religions even while he was sleeping.”

Zhuge Wenhu sighed.

“You have to be suspicious. The Gotei’s 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.”

“…actually.”

Yeonwi sighed.

“That’s right?”

Zhuge Wenhu laughed bitterly.

“That’s 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.”

“Huh…”

“In that respect, I am not an ideal soldier. Still, I can’t help it. “When it comes to matters related to martial arts politics and the three religions, I trust the Gojeong more than my blood relatives.”

The two were silent for a moment.

This time too, it was Zhuge Munho who spoke first.

“But hojeong goes too far.”

“….”

“Of course it doesn’t matter to us. “I don’t know where or who we are, but we’re okay anyway.”

“….”

“The 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.”

“I know.”

“And it’s a world where there are far more non-us than us.”

Yeonwi nodded.

Zhuge Wenhu said while looking at Yan Yu’s side face.

“I received a good report on what happened at the imperial palace, but there are probably many things missing here and there.”

“That’s right. “There were many things that were difficult to write down in a letter.”

“Can I listen to it here first?”

“So be it.”

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.

“His Majesty the Emperor said that he would be a reliable ally.”

“exactly. And…”

“I will unite the world.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled.

“Do you agree?”

“My doctor has nothing to do with it.”

“It has to do with it.”

Yeonwi nodded.

“Honestly, it’s not wrong. “I knew that His Majesty the Emperor’s will was firm, seeing that he came to consult with Okche even while treating him harshly.”

“What about your abilities?”

“We had a passing conversation about administrative matters.”

Yeonwi sighed.

“I couldn’t guess. “The depth and vastness.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s 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 wasn’t 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 emperor’s knowledge and wisdom were much greater than expected.

Zhuge Wenhu suddenly saw the sword hanging on Yan Wei’s belt.

“Is that the imperial sword?”

“exactly.”

“Cheonra Imperial Sword… I think you can tell just by looking at that sword that His Majesty the Emperor is determined to take action.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled and continued.

“Buy me a drink later. “You are loved so much that people around you are jealous.”

“Would it be funny if I said 10 words?”

“ha ha ha!”

Zhuge Li’s 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 couldn’t help but be shocked by Zhuge Munho’s words, as if the sky was falling.

“Yeongaju.”

“Please speak.”

“You must be prepared.”

“What resolution do you mean?”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.

“Can you isolate yourself from Hojeong?”
