[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 193

193 – Geum Taeyang, the thief (2)

Tap, tap, tap.

Zhang Liao and He Ze had been riding since dawn.

Even before the sun rose in the morning, the soldiers gathered together and ran, but there was not a single person in sight of Liu Bei’s army.

“No, what happened to this?”

“…We marched at full speed.”

He Ze, panting on horseback, and Zhang Liao, who spoke calmly, continued to run, following the traces of Liu Bei’s army moving forward.

“Oman’s army can’t keep moving forward. We’ll build a camp somewhere and have lunch. Let’s run, there’s still plenty of time.”

“Hey, how could you say that…!”

“Because I’m from Byeongju.”

Zhang Liao spoke calmly and continued driving his horse.

“Liu Bei’s younger brother, Guan Yu, is also from Bingju… area.”

“Byungju? Really? I don’t think so….”

“Oh, I’m from Byeongju. If I say I’m from Byeongju, it means I’m from Byeongju. Anyway, he and I have known each other since we were young.”

“Are you my brother?”

“…This person. Of course I am his younger brother. Think of that gentleman’s face.”

“hehehe, it’s just a joke.”

The two continued their conversation.

The soldiers running after them looked like they were going to die, but even the horses were panting, but they did not stop.

I chased but lost.

If Liu Bei is missed, the two of them will no longer have to lead the army as generals in the future.

“Rest is….”

“Oh, there!!”

Heo Ze pointed ahead.

There, in a fairly large open space, was a familiar army that had just dismantled its camp and was about to resume its movement.

Jerk, jerk.

Two men wearing armor greeted He Ze and Zhang Liao.

A man with particularly large ears appeared wearing a helmet and holding a sword in each hand.

“Yu Hwang-suk!”

“…I thought they were enemies, but it turns out they were Cao Cao’s people. That’s right, General He Ze. General Zhang Liao. Why have you come to see me?”

“The monk ordered me to come back.”

“her.”

Liu Bei snorted and raised his head.

“Who told you to come back?”

“Jo Maeng-deok, the monk asked you to come back.”

He Ze deliberately mentioned Cao Cao clearly.

However, Liu Bei just nodded with a relaxed face.

“I see. Minister Cao? If so, tell him. Liu Bei, the left general, is moving after receiving an order from the Emperor, and if the retreating army also receives an order from the Emperor, he will retreat even if Yuan Shu’s head is in front of him.”

“this…!!”

Zhang Liao stopped He Zhe from stepping forward.

“Be patient.”

“but!”

“…But, sir, we don’t have your Majesty’s name.”

Hearing Zhang Liao’s words, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Liao with a slightly surprised face.

“You are speaking honestly.”

“Because it’s true. But is it okay? Master Cho will remember this.”

“hahahaha. Don’t worry. I will repay you by catching the traitor Won-sul and honoring him. You can just tell me exactly what I said. Yu Hyeon-deok will return as soon as his name is given away.”

“…Even if we were to go to receive orders, wouldn’t we be stationed here quietly?”

“Of course. We have to catch the traitor Wonsul right now, so how can we just sit still?”

“…….”

Right opinion.

The two of them could not say anything to Yubi’s correct opinion.

This is because there was no justification for the army to retreat.

It might not have been possible if Jojo had come in person, but Jojo was unable to come.

“And let me make this clear to you. I did not abandon the Han imperial family, nor did I abandon Cho.”

“……All right.”

“And one more thing.”

Before turning his head, Liu Bei spoke to the two generals with a very complicated expression.

“Please tell me to be careful of Dong Guk-gu. Their movements are unusual.”

“…yes?”

“I did everything I could. Then.”

Liu Bei holstered his twin swords and returned to the military camp.

He Ze and Zhang Liao could only stare blankly at Liu Bei’s army leaving.

From noble mtl dot com

“…What should we do now?”

“I have to go back to the monk and tell him the truth.”

“Should I go back right away?”

“of course.”

They both sighed at the same time.

“…I guess it would be impossible to go right now, right?”

“The horses are tired. Let’s get some rest and then head to Heo Island.”

You have to go back the way you came.

The two closed their eyes in despair.

* * *

“Oh, I’m tired.”

When we returned to Shinya, we immediately stretched out.

It was the responsibility of those who remained in Shinya to provide a place for the countless people to sleep, feed them, and clothe them, and we who had ridden to Yeonnam needed rest first.

“Thank you for your hard work, sir.”

Zhuge Liang, who came into the bedroom, placed a wet towel on my forehead and stroked my hair.

It wasn’t that bad, so I decided to just enjoy Zhuge Liang’s embrace for a while.

“You must have been greedy in many ways, but you held back well.”

“…Isn’t it true that if you get greedy, you’ll get into trouble?”

It is the basics of living life.

“If I ran a little further, I might have been able to catch Wonsul. I might have been able to have the National Seal in person.”

“Instead, you must have kept thinking and thinking about whether to give it to Liu Biao or give it to Cao Cao.”

“Yes. If I give it to Liu Biao, a new emperor will be born, and if I give it to Cao Cao, Liu Biao will know about this and will definitely not leave me alone.”

Yupyo has the same grain as Wonsul.

As a Confucian scholar in the Cheongryu faction, he is a man who attaches great importance to his external appearance, but his ambition is not much different from that of Wonsul.

“It’s better not to touch anything that will cause trouble in Shinya. Even if it goes to Won So… we won’t have a big problem.”

“Rather, if the royal seal is given to Yuan Shao, the cause will be on Cao Cao’s side. He accepted the royal seal brought by the traitor Yuan Shu.”

“Yes. The royal seal is something that should go to the right person. It’s right that it goes to the emperor’s side. Hmm.”

It is right for a symbol of absolute power to go next to a living power.

Only then will the country not fall into further chaos.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were already bracing themselves for a fight, and the royal seal was the perfect object to act as an opportunity.

“I’m sure countless people all over the world know how to act when they have the royal seal.”

If ordinary people obtain a royal seal, they present it to a government official or governor.

Then, the official or governor goes to the court and offers it.

Therefore, the final destination must naturally be the emperor.

What if someone changes their mind in the middle?

‘Then it becomes Wonsul at that time.’

If the royal seal comes to Yupyo, Yupyo will probably become Wonpyo.

The royal seal is an object with such magical properties.

“We only have to worry about what we get.”

“Is it a person?”

“Yes, a person.”

Thirty thousand.

The population of Shinya has increased by as much as 30,000 people.

Trying to put them to sleep was a bit difficult as there was no space, but refugees who had already been there before worked together to cut down trees in the forest and build houses out of logs to create a space where they could avoid the rain.

If all 30,000 people work together to create a house to live in, there is nothing that cannot be done.

And the ‘land’ where they can live already exists.

“You remember that statue of a half-bone, right?”

“Are you the bearded soldier you want to stab in the back of?”

“Yes. That’s what he said. Since his hometown was devastated by Emperor Zhang, there are a lot of abandoned houses there.”

“…Using an abandoned house. That’s not too bad.”

“Is that so? It’s close to Heo Island, so it’s not a bad place for people to live.”

Xinya Castle has a limited area, so there is a clear limit to how many people it can accommodate.

However, if you look at Shinya as a whole, the land where people can live is surprisingly large.

No matter where you go in this central land, even if the population is 200,000 to 500,000, you will be able to live together in a huddle.

“Liang wouldn’t have even thought of it if it weren’t for you.”

“It was all possible because the West provided enough funds to make my idea a reality.”

“It’s thanks to you for developing the technology that allowed me to do it with the money I had.”

Zhuge Liang drew up a blueprint for a large facility that could accommodate refugees, and I hired workers who could build it and taught them the skills.

The labor can be done by Shinya residents and refugees together.

In the end, all of these people are the people of Shinya, that is, the people of one country.

“There is no one who doesn’t work hard to build a house for themselves. Not only does it provide food for them, but it also provides food for their family.”

One thing I felt while bringing several residents to Shinya.

Those who do not work, neither eat nor eat.

“We can’t afford to sit still and take care of someone who chooses to die, can we?”

“That’s right. Of course, we have to help those who can’t work.”

“People who need help should be helped. What I’m talking about is people who just play and eat.”

As soon as I became an adult, I went to Sugyeong Academy and started working to feed myself. However, no matter how much I was a nomad, if I thought that the governor or officials would feed me, it would be a mistake.

In difficult times, survival of the fittest.

“They say they will work to survive on their own, but I can’t stop them.”

Heaven helps those who help themselves, and wells burst forth for those who dig in the ground to survive a drought.

“So will you accept it?”

“…….”

I felt a slight chill from Zhuge Liang’s hand stroking my head.

“You both look pretty.”

“…No, I’m not saying I’m going to pick someone based on their face.”

“One of them was similar in age to me, and one was younger than me.”

“I’ve been working since I was fifteen, too. But you know what will happen if you leave it alone.”

The number of thirty thousand has increased in less than half a year, and public security has deteriorated significantly.

I’m worried that if I keep going like this, I’ll get caught up in something serious.

“A person who has nowhere to go says he will come to Sugyeong Academy and work. How can I stop him? That’s how I survived.”

“…So you’re going to invite that beautiful sister to Sugyeong Academy as a concubine?”

“You don’t like it?”

“It would be a lie if I said I didn’t hate it. I was worried that the number of people would increase for no reason. Still….”

Zhuge Liang smiled and stroked my face.

“If you don’t change your mind about me, I’m fine, sir.”

“…Me too. You shouldn’t do that either.”

I threatened Zhuge Liang.

“He’s older than me, okay?”

“…Are you worried that I might turn everyone’s attention to someone other than you?”

“You worry about me too, how could I not worry about you?”

Sugyeong Academy’s guest room.

Currently, not only the ‘two Kyo sisters’ we rescued, but also one man is staying here as a food guest for a while.

“Just look at me.”

“Of course, sir.”

We looked at each other and made a promise.

“But, my lord, do you know that? …The reason why my heart will be taken away by someone named Jaune is that even if the sky is split.”

“…why?”

“That’s right…hehehehe.”

Zhuge Liang just laughed.

Sreuk.

The night was deep.
