Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 396
Propaganda (4)
The reason why the commander regarded Jin Ha-yeon as an ordinary woman was simple.
When she reached the Inhae Realm, she had completely mastered her original nature, and those who were inferior to her in skill could not dare to see her true abilities.
Even if he is a military commander who has been through a lot in the military and has reached the peak of maturity as a second-rank military officer,
His escorts were the same. All four of them were at the edge of their climax, or at the very beginning of their climax, but they were no match for Jin Ha-yeon.
In any case, since the commander had misunderstood Jin Ha-yeon as his concubine, it took him some time to understand the words of the commander who followed.
“Your Majesty, what do you think about Taekonggong?”
“…The Taekonggong that Cheon Gong speaks of, is that the Taekonggong that I know?”
“Yes.”
The commander couldn’t figure out Cheonryang’s intentions, so he naturally became confused.
In the end, Commander Do, who had been thinking long and hard, asked a question in return instead of answering.
“What is the intention of me mentioning ‘him’ here? Heavenly King.”
In response to the commander’s question, Cheonryang once again blurted out something nonsensical.
“Commander, what do you think the military exists for?”
“Of course, isn’t it to protect the empire from foreign powers?”
“When you say empire… what is the empire in your opinion, Commander Do?”
Only then did the commander vaguely realize what Cheonryang was trying to say and frowned.
“I know you know, but it’s dangerous to say anything more than that.”
At the commander’s warning, Cheonryang opened his mouth with a soft smile.
“It seems difficult to answer. I, a civil official, am not qualified to discuss military affairs with the commander. So, let me talk about the government. Among the high-ranking local officials who know of the existence of Taegonggong, there is a saying that goes around quietly. ‘We cannot tell whether we are following the orders of the Emperor or Taegonggong.’”
The commander frowned at the expression that lowered the emperor’s authority, but was momentarily speechless at the words of the commander of the left artillery that followed.
“Oh my, a thousand balls.”
“Isn’t it the same for the military?”
“… … .”
Staring at the commander, Cheonryang opened his mouth again.
“Commander, even I, a civil servant, know this much basic common sense. The empire that the military must protect is not that Taegong-gong.”
“Huh. Are you saying that Taekong-gong should push that monster away?”
At the commander’s reaction that seemed to be absurd, Cheonryang nodded confidently.
The commander asked with a hollow laugh.
“How can you do that? The Forbidden City in Beijing is completely in his hands. How can you overthrow him?”
At that question, for some reason Cheonryang turned his head and looked around.
A devastated vacant lot.
“Since the commander is also very skilled in martial arts, I believe he must have felt the loud explosion and light that came from afar like lightning last night.”
“But… you’re talking as if the light and noise weren’t lightning.”
“Yes. It wasn’t lightning. It was a man-made miracle.”
Only then did the commander notice something and frown as he asked.
“So, this empty lot was created last night?”
“Yes, and that was the result of just one attempt.”
“Absurd….”
The commander looked bewildered.
A landscape where dozens of radii of space were swept away. What was the first thought that came to the commander’s mind when he saw that landscape?
‘If you can produce power equivalent to dozens of lightning strikes with just one martial arts skill, are you really a human?’
Cheonryang opened his mouth as he met the commander’s suspicious gaze.
“Last night. I saw it with my own eyes. The miracle performed by the youngest disciple of the leader of the Cheonmasingyo cult, Prince Ilmok.”
The commander, who realized something from Cheonryang’s words, frowned and asked.
“Does that mean we’re going to join hands with the Cheonma Shingyo to drive out Taekonggong?”
“Yes.”
“You are crazy, but you are crazy as hell. The Cheonmasingyo are the ones who were already designated as traitors by imperial decree two hundred years ago.”
“What does that matter? After all, new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
At Cheonryang’s words, the commander, who had been patient until then, blushed and shouted.
“Hey you!! Do you dare to talk about treason in front of me now!!”
I can accept the idea of attacking Taekonggong, but attacking the emperor was treason by any measure.
Not intending to end it with just shouting, the commander quickly pulled out the sword he had been carrying at his side and swung it at Cheonryang.
However, his Tao could not reach Cheonryang’s body, who had never learned a single martial art.
visor!
Before he knew it, a woman with a cold expression was blocking his path with her hand.
“Elder!!”
“How dare you!!”
The guards, who had never imagined that the commander’s sword would be blocked, belatedly began to move to help him, each shouting.
Then, Jin Ha-yeon grabbed the commander’s sword and threw it at the commander.
The cold energy that poured out from her hand was directed at them, and they froze in their positions as they charged forward, each swinging their weapons.
It wasn’t an instant death because Jin Ha-yeon had the situation in her hands.
I was just in a situation where I was desperate to push away the cold air that was digging into my skin.
Only then did the commander and his escorts realize that the woman had reached a level of skill that was incomparable to theirs.
‘She wasn’t a concubine! She was a bodyguard and a murderer!’
The commander realized why he had brought that woman along while discussing such a matter.
If he refuses the offer of the Left Guard, he is also destined to die here.
While the commander felt his vision going dark.
Cheonryang opened his mouth while leisurely taking the lottery ticket from Jin Hayeon.
“The conversation isn’t over yet, so please don’t kill me, Miss Jin.”
“I have the situation in my hands, so I won’t die right away.”
“Thank you.”
After finishing his conversation with Jin Ha-yeon, Cheon Ryang opened his mouth to the commander who was holding the sword in her hand.
“Miss Jin, you are the concubine of the Ilmok Confucius I mentioned earlier, Commander Do.”
“!!!”
The commander’s eyes, which he had thought were already sufficiently shocked, grew wide as if they were going to tear.
‘That expert is just a commoner!?’
Naturally, that thought occurred to me.
If a single dispute is this serious, then it is quite possible that the Confucius created this open space like this.
Furthermore, if a mere Confucius is like that, I wonder what level the religious leader has reached.
This was a misunderstanding caused by Cheonryang.
It was true that it was a fight, but it wasn’t an ordinary fight.
Cheonryang, who deliberately surprised his opponent, took advantage of the opponent’s confusion to play with his lips.
“As you know, the Heavenly Demon Sect has the power to drive out Taekonggong. The reason I came to see the commander and brought up this story is because I hope that there will be as few innocent bloodsheds as possible in this incident.”
“… … .”
“Doesn’t your Majesty know with your own eyes? Since the Maitreya Sect settled here in Gansu, how happily the people have lived. That Maitreya Sect is none other than the Cheonmasin Sect. Wasn’t it because of those people that the Majesty was considering raising an army?”
The commander was unable to utter a word in response to the words of the left-handed swordsman who stabbed him in the lungs.
The reason he hesitated to gather government troops from all over Gansu and attack the Tianma Shingyo. He used the excuse of inviolability of official duties, but his real concern was the people.
“You said that the army exists to protect the empire. Then what is an empire? Can an empire exist with only an emperor and eunuchs, without people?”
It was a question that the commander had been trying to ignore and keep to himself.
As the commander’s eyes were filled with complex emotions, Cheonryang asked him again as if he was driving a wedge in.
“Just as you can’t fix what’s already rotten, the country has already rotted away because of Tae-kong-kong, so shouldn’t we cut it all out and start anew? So please join us, Commander-in-Chief.”
At Cheonryang’s request, the commander, who had been thinking about countless things in his head, let out a deep sigh.
Because of Jin Ha-yeon’s cold temper, his sighs were filled with cold air.
“Ha. First, can you let go of the guards a bit?”
At his calm question, Jin Ha-yeon willingly collected the scorn she had been scattering.
In addition, she also let go of the commander’s sword that she had been holding onto with great difficulty.
The commander looked at the frozen Tao and answered.
“Would it be possible for me to meet and talk with that person, Confucius?”
* * *
The commander of the Dohji army, who returned to Nanju together with the commanders of the Left Army, Cheon Ryang and Jin Ha Yeon, headed to the Cheonmasingyo branch.
“Nice to meet you. I am Ilmok, the youngest disciple of the cult leader.”
The commander, who was momentarily taken aback by the sight of Ichimoku looking younger than expected, greeted him.
“I am Yang Guang, the commander of Gansu Province. Before we begin our conversation, may I ask you something?”
“Please feel free to ask.”
“Did you sneak into Gansu with the intention of doing this from the beginning, and operate under the false name of the Maitreya Buddhism?”
To that question, Ichimoku shook his head without an inch of hesitation.
“The greatest purpose of our religion is to save the innocent and punish evil. However, in the Central Plains, our religion is considered a traitor, so we hid our identity and took care of the innocent.”
“Then why are you doing this now?”
“The order has changed. Because of what the royal family and their classmates did, we had no choice but to act so aggressively.”
“???”
When Yang Gwang made a puzzled expression, Ilmok told him about the things his classmate had done while disguised as a member of the Blood Cult.
Furthermore, the fact that they were even trying to form a alliance with the Cheonma Singyo and the martial artists of the Central Plains that they were supposed to protect.
“That is why the shamans and Gaebong, the Hwangbo family and the Jegal family, and even Cheongseong joined hands with our new religion. We could not allow those who value the lives of the people as less than the lives of flies to continue to rule the Central Plains.”
After hearing the entire explanation, the commander felt dizzy.
‘Your Majesty, that bastard must be crazy. Even though he is a eunuch, how can someone belonging to the government not hesitate to commit such a crazy act?’
Commander Do, who felt dizzy for a moment at the shocking news, quickly pulled himself together and asked again.
“So, do you have a separate plan in mind? I trust that you are not just going to revolt and start a war with the royal family.”
In response to Yang Gwang’s question, Ilmok explained the plans he had prepared.
It did not simply mean the content discussed with Zhuge Liang.
It was mainly planned separately for propaganda and rear security.
Yang Gwang, who was listening to Ilmok’s explanation, could not help but be astonished.
Just bizarre strategies that I never thought of. So, it wasn’t because of things like propaganda leaflets or wall posters.
‘Iza, even in the midst of a war, is he thinking of his people first?’
This was because he noticed that the banner of ‘stabilizing the people’s livelihood’ was incorporated into each and every one of the strategies that Ilmok had mentioned.
‘Truly, the original form of the Maitreya Buddhism was the Cheonmasingyo.’
The reason he wanted to meet Ilmok and talk was because he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Is it true that the Cheonmasingyo has been performing good deeds under false pretenses just to deceive people, or is it a group that truly feels pity for the people and wants to help them?
And that doubt could be completely dispelled by hearing the plans Ichimoku had prepared.
“Okay. Then, what should I start with?”
Ichimoku answered that question with a faint smile.
“First of all, just like the Left Army Commander, please recruit those who will not disobey the orders of the Commander. Also, please compile a list of those who are corrupt or have exploited the common people.”
“If it’s something like that, one day should be enough.”
“I’ve met most of the people I need to meet today, so I think I can finish it in one day.”
When the commander of the Dojo and the commander of the Joapojeong responded in the same way, Ilmok nodded with a satisfied expression.
“If we do, we will begin the operation before dawn today.”
It was time to punish those who refused to get on board, and those who were so corrupt that they could not bear to get on board because of the stench.
