Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 193

To my hometown (5)

“Tuwang Yangcheon.”

“That’s right.”

There was silence in the conference room.

Bokhosae cautiously opened his mouth.

“I heard that his disciples went out into the world. “It is a situation that requires sufficient vigilance, but as far as I know, King Tu never showed himself while so many disciples were moving.”

Zhuge Wenhu nodded.

“That was true, but we have recently received intelligence that Yangcheon has united the Black Islands and is taking over the local commercial area at an alarming rate.”

“her!”

“I wanted to tell you about this in advance, but since it was such sudden information, additional confirmation was necessary. “Please understand that we are informing you late.”

Yonghwajinin said with an uncomfortable face.

“No matter how sudden the information may be, it is none other than information related to the Immortal Emperor. “I think you should have told me in advance.”

Although it may have sounded like an argument, Yonghwajin’s argument was valid.

Information is power. And the information power of the Murim Alliance, where the power of the White Path is concentrated, is so great that it is one of the few in the world.

The person who wielded that power at the forefront was none other than Zhuge Munho and Full Sang. If nothing else, not immediately discussing important issues could have set a bad precedent.

Of course, Yonghwajinin did not do it because of precedent. He was worried that Zhuge Liang might monopolize the powerful power of information.

The public ambassador raised his hand.

“Military Zhuge is the head of the military department whom we all unanimously chose. “It can certainly be seen as a mistake not to notify us right away, but I don’t think it would have been done without reason.”

Yonghwajin cleared his throat. I couldn’t say anything more since the Shaolin Temple chieftain stepped forward and supported me.

Zhuge Wenhu said with a smile.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“But Yonghwajin’s words also make sense. “I think there must have been other reasons besides rechecking the information.”

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes changed.

“When the Tang Demon Slayer Army set out to annihilate the Corridor Corps, there was a group of people who secretly approached the main alliance’s intelligence department.”

In an instant, the atmosphere in the conference room became cold.

the public ambassador asked.

“What do you mean you approached the Ministry of Intelligence…?”

“It means that there were people who tried to cleverly disrupt our Baekdo’s information network that spans the entire Wurim region.”

“…!”

“Their movements were extremely secretive. “If it weren’t for advisor Full Sang, I wouldn’t have even noticed anything suspicious.”

“Disrupting Baekdo’s information network? “If that happens, what exactly will be the problem?”

“You can make people mistake a lie for the truth, or you can make the truth look like a lie. “Just one piece of information.”

The faces of the public officials hardened as they recognized the seriousness of the situation.

Zhuge Wenhu pointed to the tangled blue solid lines on the map spread out on the round table. Complex lines crossing the entire central plain indicated the flow of information heading to the Murim League.

“If just one of these countless blue lines turns red, information confusion will occur. “In essence, the more complex a structure is, the more likely it is that even small problems can have fatal consequences. The same goes for information networks.”

“Huh.”

Deungcheongyo, a leader of the communal faction, said.

“It has been less than a year since the Murim Alliance was founded. However, Baekdo’s information network is the culmination of a solid network built over hundreds of years. “No matter how complicated it is, can a simple error have such fatal consequences?”

Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.

“Of course, our information network is complex and robust. We are thoroughly prepared for enemy infiltration, and an alternative information network exists to deal with situations where one network is destroyed.”

“Do you do it?”

“Seventy-two.”

“hmm? What do you mean?”

“The number of false information networks that a mysterious group had infiltrated and disrupted to create confusion in our information network was 72.”

Teng Tianqiao’s eyes wavered.

Although he was illiterate in terms of information, he was not unaware of the seriousness of the number seventy-two.

“In other words, the mysterious enemy was determined to shake up the main branch of intelligence. “If this had not been discovered in a timely manner, not only an astronomical amount of money would have been spent to build a new information network, but an enormous amount of human resources would have been wasted.”

“….”

“Of course, in the meantime, the mysterious group that touched the main branch’s information network will have set up secrets that will never be detected.”

Zhuge Wenhu sighed.

“Can you not rob the information network that was robbed once? Perhaps such attempts would have continued to arise, and from then on a vicious information war would have broken out with no end in sight.”

The chilly atmosphere became even colder.

Namgoongin frowned.

“Could it be that the mysterious group is the Black Island?”

“That’s right. To be exact, it is an intelligence unit operating under Tuwang Yangcheon.”

“It makes no sense. “How could a group of incompetent black swords carry out such a high-level attack…?”

“I see you think that too.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhuge Wenhu looked around at the Dukes.

“For whales, the black island was always below the white island. Occasionally, a brilliant genius would unite the Black Path and cause great harm to the Central Plains, but in the end, the evil was only temporary. In other words, the white island was always above the black island.”

“That’s why I’m telling you. “I don’t think the black swordsmen would have that much ability…”

“But the black swords never disappeared. Even at this very moment. Where do you think their weed-like persistence comes from?”

The public ambassador closed his eyes.

“information. “It’s information.”

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Li pointed to the information network in the southern part of Central Plains south of the Yangtze River.

Red and white solid lines were intertwined like a spider web. Its complexity was more than twice that of the Murim Alliance.

“How the powerless survive. That’s information. Since you are pushed back by force, you have no choice but to survive by relying on your wits. “That’s how Black Island has survived until now.”

“….”

“I dare say that when it comes to intelligence, we are clearly one step below the Black Island.”

Among the white martial arts people living in the present era, there are almost no people who pay attention to the black sword.

It had to be that way. This is because the blackness was weak.

In other words, there is no fight. They were certainly dangerous, but there was nothing they could not do if they were determined to take them down.

It was a completely natural trend for interest in them to decrease.

“They are gathering under the absolute power of Yangcheon.”

Someone swallowed.

A strong look of tension appeared on Zhuge Wenhu’s face.

“Before the power of the power, the power of the midfielder can be said to be the best, and now he wields the best information power in martial arts. “Their presence will pose a serious threat in the future.”

There was silence for a moment.

There was a lot to say, but this is the bottom line.

The white sword did not eliminate the black sword. It couldn’t be eliminated.

This is because they have the eyes to escape a crisis at any time.

And a monster named Yangcheon stole the eye.

“I can tell just by hearing that this is a serious situation.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Seunghyeonjin.

Seunghyeonjinin said with a somewhat dark face.

“Now please tell me. “Why didn’t the military immediately report this information and problem?”

“…You’re guessing.”

“I hope that’s not the reason.”

“It’s just as Seunghyunjin guessed.”

Zhuge Li’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

“Because I was suspicious of the leaders of the Murim Alliance.”

The reaction was fierce.

“What?!”

“What nonsense are you saying!”

“No way, this means that there are at least three of us!”

The public ambassador raised his hand again.

The atmosphere, which had been heated with excitement, slowed down.

“Binseung does not want to damage our trust with provocative remarks. “But now I have to say something.”

“…?”

“Since our servants are doing their best and their joys like this, wouldn’t the soldier have no choice but to be cautious about opening his mouth?”

The angry Dukes cleared their throats.

The public ambassador sighed.

“Military Zhuge’s remarks could be quite controversial. But for now, let’s listen. “I try to listen and understand, but if I still think it’s a problem, it’s not too late to turn up the heat.”

It was absolutely correct.

Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth.

“Thank you for your words. While I’m already talking about it, I would like to add that a military position cannot be trusted even by the greatest charlatan in the world. “The moment you completely trust someone, you can reveal a loophole to your enemy.”

“….”

“You may think it’s a pointless suspicion, but I will never completely trust not only the Bonggongs in the future, but even the Murim Lord who will be elected in the future.”

Zhuge Wenhu lowered his head.

“Please understand that.”

The servants kept clearing their throats.

If a public ambassador had not stepped forward, someone would say, ‘The person most likely to be suspected is you.’ He would have said something like that.

Of course, it is an obvious statement that will only raise unnecessary doubts. Public ambassadors prevent unnecessary fights from starting with just a few words.

Zhuge Wenhu continued.

“In any case, there were no suspicious circumstances. Not only the public servants here, but none of the leaders of the Maeng were in secret with the enemy. “Based on the results of the investigation so far.”

“….”

“From the moment he learned of the enemy’s intention, Advisor Bujeong-sang responded immediately. “The enemy has retreated and will not be able to target us, at least for the time being.”

Zhuge Liangzi’s eyes flashed.

“So I think now is the right time.”

Seunghyeonjinin asked curiously.

“What do you mean it’s a red flag?”

“Tuwang Yangcheon. “It means that we think it is the right time to conduct a thorough investigation into it.”

“Huh.”

Namgung-in asked carefully.

“Are you okay? I heard that Yangcheon is so vicious and vicious that it cannot be described. “He’s quick-witted, so I think there’s a high chance he’ll hide deeper the moment we try to investigate.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled.

“What the head of the Namgung family said is correct. So I had a lot of concerns. “You can’t just sit still, but he’s too dangerous to mess with too hastily, and if you make a mistake, you could end up making a mistake.”

“That’s my opinion too.”

“So we need the best.”

“best?”

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Wenhu saw Prince Mo Yong.

Moyong, who had been listening to the conversation with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

“An expert who can skillfully infiltrate agents, disrupt information, and even assassinate key figures depending on the situation. And we need a leader who can demonstrate flexible resourcefulness along with such experts.”

Namgoongin tilted his head.

“I’m not saying you have to go that far. “Have you thought of someone who could take on that important mission?”

“That’s right.”

Zhuge Wenhu shouted outside the conference hall.

“Please come in.”

Shake! Sigh.

The door opened and a young man appeared.

The eyes of the servants widened when they saw the young man.

“A person with strong martial arts skills and a high level of insight, as well as the boldness and wit to use any tactic if necessary.”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled at the young man.

“I am the chair of the working group that I chose.”

Young Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“Greetings to the Dukes. “This is Yeon Ho-jeong, the commander of the Mortal Army.”
