Chapter 11: Zhuge Dynasty)
Chapter 11: Zhuge Dynasty)
A few days later, the group was able to arrive at their destination, Gaeyang..
Gaeyang was a fairly large village..
Guizhou is divided into north and south with Guiyang, the capital, with the north being the territory of the right faction and the remainder being the territory of the four factions..
Among them, Gaeyang is a village near Guiyang. belonged to the front line.
As a result, the largest concentration of Jeong-Pa people was found..
“Oh my, looking at their faces, they are members of the political faction..
This small merchant couldn't hide his excitement when he saw the giants walking majestically from afar..”
As I entered Gaeyang, touts flocked to me..
Among them, a man named Sosang, who came first, approached and bowed..
“What is it?”
Jang Hong looked at Sosang as if he were dumbfounded..
Since ancient times, excessive praise can be seen as flattery..
Sosang's cuteness has already surpassed the level of praise..
“haha.”
Gu Feng looked at the statue and laughed, making wind noises as if it was fun..
Then he took a coin out of his pocket, put it on his thumb, and flicked his fingers to throw it at Sosang..
“There is no need to undress in the guesthouse, so instead of giving useless guidance, please guide me to the Gaeyang branch of the Murim Alliance..
Keep in mind that if you do something boring, you won't get away with it..”
“Oh, of course! Daehyup!”
Sosang bent down, snatching the coin with both hands..
I bent over so hard that my forehead touched the ground..
Then the touts around clicked their tongues and retreated..
It seemed like he was sorry for missing the customer..
Only then did Jang Hong seem to understand what was going on and shook his head, saying ‘Aha’..
“When you arrive in a foreign country, it will be full of people trying to solicit customers like this..
So, just give them a few pennies and ask them to guide you where you want to go..”
Gu Feng walked leisurely and explained kindly..
“Also, if the destination is a branch of the Murim League, there is no need to go to the guest house..
Unless there are special cases, they will take care of your lodging there..”
Although it was small, it was useful information that helped Gangho Haeng..
If Joo Seo-cheon didn't know, he would have listened carefully and kept it in mind..
“Heo Eok, the branch provides lodging and meals.!”
Sosang opened his mouth in surprise..
Although each branch of the Murim League is located in the countryside, it is not small..
Wherever we go, we provide enough room and board for about 100 people..
But not just anyone can do it..
In order to stay, you had to have something to do and get permission..
To put it bluntly, they tended to kick out third- or second-rate warriors who had no affiliation, claiming they were gourmets..
The fact that you can receive lodging and lodging at the branch itself means that you are not third-rate..
However, it is not enough to exaggerate this much..
Sosang's reaction itself seemed to be aimed at flattery, and was excessive..
“If it's not rude, can I hear your name??”
Sosang had an iron plate on his face and was groveling..
It was so blatant that anyone could see the intention..
“It's the volcanic wind. Wow, you're really passionate..”
“Huh! Fourteen Swordsmen Association!
It seemed strange when I saw it from afar, but they were disciples of Daesan Mountain.!”
Sosang widened his eyes and raised his voice..
‘leading figure!’
Speaking of the Nine Winds of the Fourteen Swordsmen Association, he is a master recognized even in martial arts..
I thought he was an expert because he seemed to be the protector of the kids who appeared to be a strong first generation, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent..
Connections are especially important for merchants..
It goes without saying that it is good if the person being connected is a big person..
Su-sang was waving his invisible tail and showering Gu Feng with praise..
“please be quiet.”
Jang Hong, who couldn't see anything, said something..
The emotion reflected in his eyes was contempt..
“You have no pride?”
Jang Hong looked at Xiao Sang as if he was pitiful..
Then Sosang let out a light, apologetic laugh..
Still, he didn't say anything more, as if he didn't notice at all..
“Jang Hong, what are you talking about? If you are a political person, be careful what you say..
It's not that you don't understand, but please speak softly..”
Gu Feng scolded Jang Hong for being like that..
“Sorry, Sabaek..”
Gu Feng did not scold Jang Hong any further when he lowered his head..
Even if that wasn't the case, I was a little uncomfortable with Sosang's flattery..
“Looks like the atmosphere is a bit messed up because of me..
In return, I will treat you later..
Come on, come this way. I will arrive at the branch in a little while..”
Jang Seo-yeon was about to say something, but stopped..
Because it was destined to end once we got to the branch anyway..
“It's here. If you need any guidance, please contact us nearby.……”
“It's okay if you guide me. Thank you.”
Gu Feng laughed bitterly and stopped talking midway..
This was a roundabout way of telling me not to be a bother..
“Oh my, I don't think there will be anyone else who would treat a guide this kindly..
Anyway, I will definitely repay you, so just call me! Hehehe!”
Sosang smiled like a traitor and left..
* * *
I arrived at the branch and wrote a guest book..
As soon as the register manager saw my name, he greeted me kindly and guided me through the process..
“Tsk, they kept telling us to wait..”
One of the visitors waiting nearby for guidance muttered..
“Uh-huh, this guy. Be careful what you say.
I saw it at first glance, and it looks like he's a Taoist from the Volcanic Sect..”
“Huh, volcanic wave? Oh my, this was going to be a big problem. Thank you.”
The visitors quickly lowered their heads and hid their faces for fear of being overheard..
“Since it wasn't unmanned, you wouldn't have guessed we heard it.?”
Jang Seo-eun muttered with a subtle expression..
“What do you think of the priest??”
“what do you mean?”
Joo Seocheon questioned his call..
“Treatment of roster managers.”
At her words, Joo Seocheon closed his mouth for a moment, lost in thought, and then answered honestly..
“Life is never equal.
Treatment can change just by origin..
No, it can change depending on your ability as well as your origin..
Isn’t that what reality is?.”
Joo Seo-cheon also experienced discrimination before returning..
No, it was the same even after the regression..
In the past, I was treated fairly because of my origins, but because I was a very ordinary military person, I was sometimes discriminated against..
Now, he was being ridiculed and discriminated against within the Hwasan faction due to the nickname 'Internal and foreign guest'..
“Discrimination can be seen everywhere..
Even within the volcanic wave, Yeonhwagak and ……”
Joo Seo-cheon tried to continue speaking, but the gaze of those around him made him miss the point..
I thought too much.
He doesn't look like he's twelve years old at all..
Joo Seocheon rolled his eyes and broke into a cold sweat..
“Haha, you said you were a foreign guest, so you definitely have a fancy mind..
I picked up a lot of things from somewhere!”
Jang Hong did not think deeply about Zhou Seocheon’s words..
To him, Joo Seocheon is a foreigner..
He was an incompetent priest who managed to enter Yeonhwagak by chance and luck..
Jang Seo-eun just looked at him a little curiously, but didn't seem to be thinking much about it..
“hmm.”
However, the nine winds were different..
He was lost in thought, looking at Joo Seocheon as if he was quite interested..
‘Like what happened at Yanggang, that kid, Joo Seocheon, has a better understanding than other kids his age..
If the qualifications were good, Maehwageomsu would have been worth aiming for, but it's really disappointing..’
However, that was only a slightly higher evaluation..
I didn't think Joo Seocheon was particularly great..
‘Phew, let's be careful..’
Joo Seocheon sighed in relief..
Maybe it's because of the unfairness of not being able to say anything in my past life, but whenever I do something, my thoughts immediately come out..
Of course, I planned to live like that, but there were times when I had to endure it..
“My name is Gaeyang branch leader Shin Do-gyun..
It is an honor to meet the Fourteen Swordsmen Association..”
Shin Do-gyun said hello while showing his white teeth..
“I am truly honored to meet Branch Manager Gaeyang, who is leading the front line in Gwiju..”
Gu Pung also responded to Shin Do-gyun’s greeting with a smile..
Shin Do-gyun seemed happy when a person of the Fourteenth Sword Association praised him, and a smile appeared on his face..
“I've already told you where you will sleep and what you will eat, so you will be informed when you leave this room..”
“I am grateful to the head of the Gaeyang branch for being so considerate..”
“I just did what I had to do..
By the way, the small cooperatives behind there look like Yeonhwagakwon... … That's right?”
The three people shook their heads up and down.
Yeonhwagak of the Hwasan faction is as famous and proud of history in martial arts as the Muryonggwan of the Shaman faction..
That's why it often becomes a hot topic when you appear on a show with a guardian before you reach the age of adulthood..
Children who are from the Hwasan faction and have not met any terms and conditions..
And if there is a supreme master at it, the answer is obvious..
“I think the position of Gaeyang Branch Manager is worthy of being able to see the experts who will carry the future of Hwasan this year as well..”
Also, this is not the first time Yeonhwagak members have come to Gaeyang..
Many Yeonhwagak members throughout history have visited Gaeyang here..
The fact that Gwiju was on the front line meant that there were many enemies, but there were also many martial arts leaders..
This also means that if you pay attention, you can gain experience while being protected by experts..
Other than gifted institutions such as Yeonhwagak, late expats also visited frequently for the purpose of gaining experience and making achievements..
In the case of the guardians of Yeonhwagak, it is different every year, so it was the first time that Gupung and Branch Manager Gaeyang met..
From Shin Do-gyun’s perspective, the visit to Yeonhwagak was an annual event..
“No matter what mission you give me, I will complete it in the name of the Volcano Sect..”
And the mission to build up this practical training was handed down from generation to generation at the discretion of the Gaeyang branch head..
There are only a handful of people who know as much about the war situation in Gwiju as the Gaeyang Branch Manager..
“Hahaha, it looks like you have a special spirit of chivalry as expected from the Fourteen Swordsmen Association..
I will tell you the mission soon..”
Shin Do-gyun smiled softly..
“Oh, by the way, the Zhuge family is currently at the Gaeyang branch..
Since you'll probably be carrying out missions with them, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and get acquainted with them..”
Gu Feng nodded with a look of anticipation..
As I said, Guizhou is a place to gain experience or make achievements..
In addition to the Hwasan faction, there were many people from the Jeong faction who visited..
Most people visit once a year, but some groups are excluded..
One of them is Zhuge Ce..
Although the Zhuge family is located in Hubei, they often send members of the Zhuge family for reconnaissance and experience in order to understand the war situation and devise strategies..
It didn't matter since the Zhuge family rarely fought directly on the front lines anyway..
‘Zhuge Dynasty!’
Joo Seo-cheon was very excited to hear the name Jegal Sega..
‘I don't know if this is the right time, but maybe……’
21 fury
Gu Feng went to the place where the Zhuge family gathered..
It wasn't that difficult to find.
The Gaeyang branch was not that large, and it was difficult for the Zhuge family to approach unless they were of equal power..
Other visitors, especially unmanned people, could not approach due to the wall they had erected and could only watch from a distance..
“Fourteen Swords Association!”
At first glance, a middle-aged man with a goatee and a bachelor's attire saw Gu Feng from afar and raised his hand to greet him..
“Oh, isn't it Master Jegalsak, the master of martial arts? It's been a really long time.”
The nine winds were Jegalsak and Gumyeon..
“It's probably been about three years..”
Zhuge Sak glanced at Gu Feng's back..
“By the way, if you look at the small cooperatives in the back,
I think it's Yeonhwagakwon, but perhaps the guardian is the Fourteen Swordsmen??”
“You got it right”
“Haha, what a coincidence. I am also in the same situation..”
Jegalsak looked like he was doing well and gave a wink to the group waiting behind him..
Ages and genders varied, but most had a slim build in common..
“Coincidentally, the Zhuge Dynasty also brought in children who would become later leaders of the political faction..
This is also a fate. If it is okay, I would like to create a place of harmony and exchange. They are all my nephews.”
“Hello, it is an honor to meet the Fourteen Swordsmen Association, which I had only heard about through rumors..”
Zhuge Sak had three nephews..
Among them, the young man at the forefront stood out. His skin was pure white, his jawline was thin, and his beauty also shined..
If it weren't for her out-of-date voice and clothes, she had such a pretty appearance that one could have mistaken her for a woman..
Behind them, like Joo Seocheon, were a boy and a girl who had not yet reached adulthood..
The boy drooped his shoulders and did not show his face, giving off a gloomy look..
In the case of girls, unlike boys, they were full of a confident and noble feeling..
Her beauty wasn't as good as Nak So-wol's, but it was significant..
“Oh, maybe you……”
Gu Feng opened his eyes wide and looked at the young man..
I felt like I knew who it was..
“It is called Zhuge Liang..
In the Gangho, he is called by the shameful nickname of Princess Mi-ok (美玉公子)..”
The young man blushed and smiled bitterly..
“I was wondering where I've seen this many times, but it was Zhuge Dynasty's cow.!”
Gu Feng raised his fist on his palm and muttered softly, ‘As expected.’.
Miyu Confucius, Zhuge Statue.
Even though he was a man, his beauty was known all over the world from an early age..
In addition, he was also famous as the head of the So family who would later lead the Zhuge Dynasty..
“This is Zhuge Suran (諸葛秀卵). I am half-siblings with my older brother..”
Although Zhuge Suran's introduction was a bit sensitive, Gu Feng was startled but quickly moved on without any hesitation..
When it comes to the sons and daughters of a person who was the head of a five-generation family, this kind of situation was common..
“Ah, Zhuge Suran!”
Jang Hong let out an exclamation as if he was surprised at the name Jegal Suran..
The attention of those around him was focused on him..
“Sorry for this.”
Jang Hong scratched the back of his head and apologized, thinking it was his fault that the introduction was cut off suddenly..
“There's no need to be so sorry.
On the contrary, I am just happy that Yeonhwagakwon knows Suran..”
Jegalsak smiled happily..
“How can you not know about her? Of course I know.”
Jang Hong glanced at Zhuge Suran and blushed..
For a child who grew up training all the time, the presence of Zhuge Suran was enough to set his heart on fire..
Since ancient times, men are always interested in the beauty of the opposite sex, whether they are children or the elderly..
This is an immutable law.
Although Zhuge Suran was the wife of a concubine, she was bound to become famous because she was the daughter of the head of the family..
Above all, not only did he look elegant and elegant from a young age, but he also gained popularity due to his intelligence, as expected from his birthplace..
In this regard, even though Zhuge Suran was said to be the child of a concubine, no one looked down on him..
“That's too much praise, Sohyup. Still, I'm just grateful that you said that..”
Although Zhuge Suran did not smile, he still responded with a softer look..
Jang Hong's face became even more like Hong Si..
“and……”
“my… … It's called Zhuge Succession... all……”
A boy of the same age as Zhuge Suran.
Zhuge Emperor introduced himself in a hushed voice..
The weak voice, slumped shoulders, and lack of confidence were the opposite of Zhuge Suran..
“Well, I don't know much about Confucius due to my lack of knowledge. I'm sorry.”
Gu Feng tilted his head slightly..
“It's natural because Succession doesn't show up often even within Sega..
I'm a little lacking, so I ask for your understanding. He's a good kid.”
Zhuge Shang stood next to him and patted him on the shoulder..
It was truly a friendly smile..
“Haha, for some reason, I think I'll get along well with the priest.?”
Jang Hong muttered while tapping Joo Seocheon on the shoulder..
It was a remark that openly disparaged the Zhuge succession..
“If it's okay, could you also introduce me to the small cooperatives that will carry the future of Hwasan??”
Jegalsak asked, looking at the three members of Yeonhwagak with interest..
Gu Pung said of course, he introduced Jang Hong first..
Meanwhile, Joo Seocheon, whose introduction was pushed back, had his eyes fixed on one place from earlier..
‘ha ha ha!’
I felt like I wanted to laugh out loud..
My excited heart hardly calmed down..
Among the Zhuge family's blood relatives, it has been like this ever since a specific name appeared..
A feeling ran through my spine..
Those eyes only followed one person.
‘Honestly, I never expected you to be here.
I just wanted to know if it was possible.’
I don't know what happened in this era, but there were so many heroes that they will remain for generations to come..
Zhuge Sang, who would later be called the Commander of the Heavenly Military, was one of the figures representing that hero..
When Wulin was filled with war, Zhuge Sang was recognized for his extraordinary ability before he was even 30..
Even before he inherited the position of head of the family, Zhuge Sang was recognized for his ability and character and was promoted to the rank of soldier of the Murim Alliance..
However, due to his extraordinary ability, he became a target of hostile forces and was assassinated five years after joining the military..
‘When I meet King Sang, I plan to somehow persuade him to find you..’
Afterwards, the military of the Murim Alliance was taken over by his half-brother, Mosamibong (謀士美鳳) Zhuge Suran..
When Zhuge Sang was active, Zhuge Suran assisted him, and her abilities were also extraordinary..
If Zhuge Shang was good at military strategy and strategy, Zhuge Suran was good at scheming behind the scenes..
People praised the two, saying that although they were born from different ships, they were more deeply connected than anyone else..
During the era of war, most of the numerous strategies, military strategies, and plots that came out of the Murim Alliance came from these two..
When people saw this, they even said that Zhuge Liang was reincarnated as a man and a woman..
Fortunately, Mosamibong survived by guarding his surroundings after Cheongunsa's death, but died near the end of the war..
The cause of death is, ironically, an assassination similar to that of a heavenly soldier..
I was so alert and careful, but in the end I couldn't avoid it..
and one more……
‘Mangak Icheon (晩覺摘天) Zhuge Succession!’
The sky known belatedly, Zhuge succession.
He was a sought-after person along with King Sang..
When I heard the names of Cheongunsa and Mosamibong, I was a little surprised, but not to the point where I thought it was strange..
It was rumored that the friendship between the two was strong from the beginning..
I knew you had been around since I was young..
In addition, I understood that the direct lineages of the Zhuge Dynasty were here as they often visited the area near Gaeyang and monitored the situation..
But it is not the Zhuge succession..
I couldn't hide my surprise as soon as I saw him..
Ten thousand thousand thousand thousand, Zhuge Sheng is not a person who should come to a place like this..
Originally, I was planning to ask the king or find another way..
I heard that Zhuge Dynasty was coming to Gaeyang, so I was curious, but I didn't have high expectations..
That's right... … It was because he was so incompetent that it was questionable whether he could get out of Hubei..
“Tsk tsk. No matter how incompetent you are, everyone who sees you is frustrated and annoyed. Change your attitude.”
After the general introduction of the Yeonhwagak members, Zhuge Sak clicked his tongue and looked at the Zhuge Succession as if he were pitiful..
“Look at the small cooperatives at Yeonhwagak..
Aren’t they all this great even though they are the same age as you?.
If you were half as similar to the small groups, I wouldn't have treated you like this..”
“ ……”
Zhuge Emperor could not say anything and just lowered his head..
I was so down that I couldn't even see my face..
“What Sega is asking of you isn't that big of a deal..
All I'm saying is that you should practice the same basic inner gongsim techniques as everyone else, stop doing useless things like bronchial techniques, and study Qimenjin techniques.!”
Gu Feng looked helpless..
It was a very troubled face..
Zhuge Sak did not care at all about the opinions of those around him and scolded and reprimanded Zhuge Succession to his face..
Zhuge Dynasty still bowed his head and remained silent without saying anything..
Didn't even move.
“Uhmmm.”
Zhugesak let out his anger for a while, then cleared his throat as if his excitement had subsided..
Then he turned his gaze to the Volcanic Sect, scratched his head and apologized with an apologetic look on his face..
“I'm sorry for showing such disgrace in front of the small groups of the Hwasan Sect and the Fourteen Swordsmen Association..
However, I did it because I wanted this child to reflect on the volcano's lotus flower gardens and learn something..”
“it's okay.”
Gu Feng laughed bitterly while scratching his head..
“It's short, but please don't worry about me and criticize me as much as you want as we carry out our mission together..
It's so serious that I still can't come to my senses..
It may be useless, but I hope this will change through the mission..”
Jegalsak spat out harsh words..
It was enough to make even the people who were watching freak out..
“This is all because of your actions. You brought this on yourself.
That’s why it’s called Hansagwangei (閑事管怪)!”
Getting involved in unimportant matters is extremely bizarre..
It was a star title he got even before he appeared in Kangho..
Although it was not well-known throughout the martial arts world, it was quite a well-known nickname in Hubei, where the Zhuge clan was located..
It's a given, but as you can see from the title, it didn't mean very well..
It was for this reason that Ju Seo-cheon did not expect the Zhuge succession to come..
The current treatment of the Zhugal succession was the worst not only in Wulin, but even within the Zhugal Dynasty..
‘Yes, it's inevitable to be treated like this..’
Bronchotomy is a dead skill..
It was to the point that even Zhuge Dynasty, who took pride in bronchial techniques along with Qimunjinbeop, neglected them..
This was because bronchial techniques were neglected by both civil servants and even the Madoise generation..
If a hostile force had used it, they would have been interested in destroying it, but that wasn't the case either..
In the end, both sides left little records behind, and in modern times they have been largely forgotten..
First of all, studying bronchology itself is enough reason to get scolded..
However, the Zhuge Dynasty did not even learn Sega's martial arts properly..
No, to be precise, it would be correct to say that I tried to learn Sega's martial arts, but I had no talent for martial arts..
Certainly, the lineage of the Zhuge family does not originally have the qualifications for martial arts compared to other martial arts people..
The same goes for the skeleton..
Stopped at being a criminal.
This is one of the best parts of the history of the Zhuge family..
To begin with, the Zhuge family was a family with many people who were smarter in brains than in their bodies..
Honestly, it doesn't matter if you're not good at martial arts..
What the Zhuge family is proud of is their hair and the Qimunjin technique..
However, the Zhuge succession was very lacking in qualifications..
It wasn't even at the level of an ordinary martial artist..
These worst qualities were hard to find, and it was even weirder if they didn't get criticized since they didn't even know how to do the Kimunjinbeop..
