[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

60 – Finding a way to live (5)

“Thank you for coming this long way, all three of you.”

I greeted the three of them in my room.

“It’s a poor meal, but I hope you enjoy it.”

“You mean you haven’t prepared anything? You’ve prepared it to the point of breaking the picture. You did this yourself.”

I felt embarrassed by Sunyu’s words.

“It’s nothing special. I came from far away, so I should treat myself like this.”

“I just need a drink.”

“…….”

Guo Ga received the glares from the other two and kept his mouth shut.

“hahahaha, of course I brought a lot of alcohol. I recently received some pretty good alcohol as a gift.”

Not long ago, my adoptive father, who was wandering around Changan, left after giving me quite expensive alcohol as a gift. I heard that Seo Seo received it while I was away, and it was a top-class liquor that was worth a lot of money and could only be used at banquets in the imperial palace.

So much so that Sima Hui wanted to work with him on a masterpiece.

We took out about a bottle and drank it together, and that day we got drunk on the moonlight.

Drinking it with these three?

Maybe my adoptive father anticipated this and sent me this alcohol.

“How have you been? I’d like you to tell me in person rather than hearing it through a letter.”

“That’s it…”

As long as you have Shun Yu, you can talk about Sima Hui or Sima Yi.

However, in a situation where Sun-wook and Kwak are present, they will feel a little embarrassed if they talk about something they do not know.

And at the same time, if they knew that I was deeply involved in Jingju’s affairs as a member of the Chae family, the way the three women viewed me would change.

The position of the three of us has changed too much from before for us to meet simply as close friends.

Cao Cao’s core staff.

Yoo Pyo’s in-laws.

When others see this, they will definitely think, ‘Aren’t they trying to form an alliance?’

No, we are already in an alliance relationship.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yu Biao have joined hands from Giju to Jingju, and are not yet in a direct relationship with each other.

However, if they put their mind to it, they can become stronger allies.

Considering this relationship, what should I say to JoJo’s executives?

“It seems difficult to talk as easily as before.”

“that….”

“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I was appointed to Yupyo-gun, but rather that I am involved as a party of interest.”

I needed to refine my words simply because we were Yupyo’s maternal relatives.

“I am….”

I told the three of them just enough to reveal my current situation.

He is still teaching children at Sugyeong Academy.

He became the adopted son of Hwang Seung-eon.

His adoptive mother, Chae-hyang, is from the wealthy Chae family of Jingju.

When I was researching the Golden Sun of Sugyeong Academy, I distilled the information into something that anyone would know even if they searched for a little bit, and let them know what I was up to.

because.

The two biggest things that have happened to me recently are things that I don’t feel comfortable talking about directly with them.

One is Seo Joo’s work.

One is the work of Mr. Moon Hu from Changan.

If the former is difficult to talk about because of its cruelty, the latter is difficult to talk about because I am worried that it will ruin Mr. Munhu’s work for no reason.

Above all….

‘I refuse to say anything more helpful to Jojo.’

Sunwook was recommended.

Sunyu was recommended.

As for Kwak, well… he’s just a drinking buddy.

Just by exchanging letters with Sun Yu and Sun Yu and giving them advice, I had a significant involvement in Cao Cao’s army.

I can’t betray Master Wenhu, I can’t let his cause go astray, and I can’t help Cao Cao anymore.

“…That’s how it goes.”

“Wolyoung.”

Sunwook, who had been quietly listening, lifted his drink.

“It must be difficult to live comfortably like before, right?”

“That’s natural.”

We have already entered difficult times.

I don’t know about the Guo family, who I met as someone who was already in Cao Cao’s army, but from the moment Sun Yu and Sun Yu entered Cao Cao’s army, they had already passed the stage where they could talk comfortably like before.

“Let me be honest with you: Why did you come to see me?”

“…hehehe, it really hasn’t changed.”

“yes?”

“Even if you think there’s even the slightest threat, you immediately become alert. I think you’re really like a cat.”

I was shocked by Sunuk’s words.

“Me, cat?”

“If they are even slightly threatened, they will bark and seem to threaten, but in reality, they will back away and try to sneak away.”

“That’s right.”

“I can see it even now. They’re already on guard even though we didn’t even tell them why we came.”

“Oh my god. That’s why I’m a cat.”

It’s shocking.

“Everyone will be on guard. If Liu Biao finds out about the three people’s visit, he will immediately release his army. I heard that Cao Cao’s secret agents went to scout Jingju.”

“That guy has new breasts. He’s different from you.”

“Yupyo…”

It’s not wrong.

No matter how sensitive I am to danger, I don’t want to be tied down with Yupyo.

He is a coward, and I am a person who tries to live.

“hehehe, just kidding. We came for two main reasons. One is to see you, and the other is to hear rumors about you.”

“rumor?”

“Yes. I heard that there is a kind-hearted landowner near Sugyeong Academy. He gives his land to the refugees and lets them cultivate it.”

“…….”

grow.

The fact that they are interested in this…

“Is Cao Cao planning to attack Jingzhou? Are you saying he will completely eradicate those who fled from Xuzhou?”

“That’s not true. How can we do that when we haven’t even been able to occupy Xuzhou right now?”

“If Zhou Gong didn’t go crazy, there was no way the performance would have hit Hyeongju.”

“We’ll stop that. Don’t worry.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Fortunately, it seemed unlikely that Cao Cao would attempt to attack Jingzhou.

Aside from all these reasons…

“How can they come down to Jingju when Lu Bu is alive and well with his eyes open? Now Duke Zhou is frantically trying to figure out how to catch Lu Bu again.”

“Right now, we are focused on punishing the traitors within Yeonju.”

A traitor inside Yeongyeon.

I heard that betrayal within Cao Cao’s army played a major role in the background of Lü Bu’s occupation of Fuyang.

“Didn’t Lu Bu take those people with him?”

“Some of them are remaining in their bases and staging a sit-in. Without the strategists having to come up with a plan, they could occupy the prefecture just by leading the generals, so we came down for something else.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…To see how the people who left Western Zhou live.”

Guilt… may be visible, but it may not be the cause.

“Do you know of Dunjeon?”

“…I know it, but I wonder if you came all the way down here…”

“Yes, that’s right. Zhou Gong is trying to dodge battle.”

Now the pieces of the picture are finally coming together.

“You want to give the land taken from the traitorous nobles to the people?”

“That’s the way it is.”

“Whew.”

Relieved.

“…I thought they were about to dispatch soldiers to Heohyeon and attack them again.”

“hehehe, are you feeling sober now?”

“Can we stop talking about work now? Now, now. If you feel comfortable, have a drink.”

“What about our cute cat drinking first?”

“…These people.”

bang.

“If the world were to look at it, an ordinary person like me could be said to be worse than a cat…”

I put down my glass.

“I don’t know anything else, but when I’m drinking, I’m like a tiger.”

As long as it is confirmed to be safe, there is nothing to hesitate about.

“Well, let’s all drink and die together.”

Soak it ㅡㅡㅡ

Late at night.

After completing his pre-study session to prepare for tomorrow’s class, Zhuge Liang went outside to take care of some personal business.

And Zhuge Liang discovered it.

“What are you doing there?”

“Hi?!”

Sima Yi.

Leaning in front of her teacher’s door, she was startled and put her index finger to her lips.

“…….”

No matter how much he disliked the person, it was the first time he had shown such urgency, so Zhuge Liang tactfully pursed his lips and spread out his palms.

-What are you doing now?

“Well, that is….”

Zhuge Liang wrote with his tiny hand.

Sima Yi seemed to be worried as he noticed something.

“…It’s not something a kid like you would know.”

Should I tell you? It’s not. It would be dangerous if I told you now. But if you just leave here, things get weird.

“Aren’t you secretly spying on Master’s room?”

“……Ha, Mr. I’m going crazy….”

It was that kind of look.

Zhuge Liang felt puzzled by Sima Yi’s continued avoidance of gaze, and his eyes naturally returned to the direction of the teacher’s room behind her.

What on earth is going on inside?

Oh, I see.

Those are the women who visited Sugyeong Academy today. Zhuge Liang was able to infer the identity of the women who visited the academy through Seo Seo’s shocked reaction when he saw them.

Sunuk.

Pure oil.

Kwak.

These are people I already knew through ear-dating.

In particular, I understand that the person named Sunyu is a woman who is said to have worked as a teacher at the academy here for a while.

People who are close to the teacher.

At the same time, people working in Jojo County.

“…….”

Zhuge Liang couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

I wonder what a child who was not yet an adult would say to them, but there was no need for him to hold a grudge against his teacher.

An acquaintance is just an acquaintance.

The teacher is not loyal to Cao Cao’s army, and is only a little deeply acquainted with Cao Cao’s secretaries.

Even if one of the three killed someone in Xuzhou, it would not be something for Zhuge Liang to blame or resent his teacher for.

Evil is evil.

The bad one is Jojo.

Zhuge Liang has already sorted it out in his mind.

It’s just that when talking to someone about Cao Cao and Zhou Zhou, he never showed it once.

The teacher seemed to have noticed, though.

Sima Yi probably hesitated out of consideration for himself.

“Pfft.”

Zhuge Liang found Sima Yi funny.

I am not a child.

Although he was still young, his intellectual abilities had already reached the level of an adult.

It was funny how Sima Yi treated him like a child.

“It’s okay. The person who wielded the sword is the problem. What’s the point in blaming the sword? So what on earth are you looking at here…?”

Moment.

Zhuge Liang’s whole body was thrilled by a sound he had never heard before in his life.

Sima Yi squinted his eyes and tried to stop Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang had already seen the gap in the door as if he had been possessed.

“……!!”

Zhuge Liang corrected his mistake.

I was a young child.

“…Be quiet. If you get caught, it’s the end.”

Zhuge Liang kept his mouth shut at Sima Yi’s words.

Although he knew it was wrong, Zhuge Liang kept his mouth shut and quietly looked through the gap in the door.

One man.

Three women.

The sight of them drinking alcohol together.
