Twisted Fate (8)

 

Hearing the report that a young man and a monkey were trapped together in the rear Qin Law, Zhuge Jinxi moved with a few unmanned people to deal with him.

There were a few who had tried to burrow through it two days before.

But when I arrived, I saw a man with a familiar face.

“··· You've really come to visit..."

Zhuge Jinxi spoke to Mu Jin with a face full of mixed emotions.

"I told you... If something happens to the Zhuge family, I'll help Master Zhuge Jinxi."

“··· I'm grateful for Monk Mujin's heart, but we're at a great disadvantage right now, and even Monk Mujin could be in danger. So it's probably safe for you to die now."

In desperation, she asked Mujin for help, but she felt guilty.

But it wasn't time to go back. Even if it's for Zhuge Jinxi's sake, or to attract Zhuge Sega to the allies...

"Don't worry, I'm not the only one here. Reinforcements are available. I was the only one who came here secretly to find out more about the situation."

"Oh..."

"So, first of all, Zhuge Palace, can I see this Confucius? I think we need to figure things out."

"I'll take you inside. Follow me· If you take one wrong step, you'll be trapped in the true law again."

Saying that, Zhuge Jinxi took the lead, followed by Mu Jin and Lingling.

Then, to my surprise, people who had not been seen a moment ago appeared.

They were the unmanned people who came with Zhuge Jinxi to deal with the enemies trapped in the True Law.

"Is this the power of the True Law?"

While Mu Jin was inwardly admiring the mysterious experience they had never experienced before, they were soon able to escape the True Law.

‘··· I didn't see it until I took a step."

As soon as he exited the True Method, the figure of Wen Zhen appeared.

And in the front yard of the hall, several unmanned people were resting with bandages on their bodies.

Apparently they had been injured in the process of escaping.

'Only twenty or so in all...'

While Mujin looks around and takes stock of the situation, Those who were there were also looking at Mu Jin and Zhuge Jinxi with puzzled faces.

"He's here to help us. I'm going to talk to my father first, and then I'll explain it to you."

Zhuge Jinxi explained briefly, and led Mu Jin to the inside of the hall.

"Father· Mother· Someone has come to help us."

Before she could finish speaking, the door swung open, revealing a middle-aged couple.

The two of them looked at Mu Jin who had followed Zhuge Jinhui and instead of expressing their doubts, they welcomed Mu Jin first.

"Zhuge Palace, the Zhuge Palace of the Zhuge Se Family. We are so grateful that you have come to help us in this difficult place."

"It's my wife, Jamihwa. Thank you so much· Small Circle·"

Surrounded by dozens of rebel elite unmanned, a young man has come to his aid alone.

It was disappointing, but the fact that they didn't show any signs of being like that was the least they could say was a good couple.

"My name is Mu Jin, the Three Great Disciples of Shaolin. Amitabha Buddha·"

"This is the Shaolin Divine Dragon that our daughter praised so much that her mouth wore out..."

"Mother...?"

Zhuge Jinxi scowled at her mother with an expression of "When did I do that?" but she didn't care at all.

"Let's go inside first."

That's how Zhuge Gong and Lady Zhuge Hua· Then, Mu Jin and Zhuge Jinxi entered the hall.

"Please excuse the lack of courtesy due to the urgency of the situation. First of all, can you give us some specific circumstances?"

In response to Mujin's question, the three of them recounted the events of the day of the rebellion and the circumstances surrounding it.

After hearing all the stories, Mujin's impression was quite simple.

'There was a rebellion . . .'

From the discrimination against women and women, to the situation where the owner of the family could not even trust his children and could not decide on a small family owner even at the age of eighty.

Even if he had been from Zhuge Se, he would have been so filthy and filthy that he would have run away from Sega or rebelled.

On the contrary, it was almost surprising that Zhuge Jinhui, who was discriminated against because she was a woman despite her outstanding talent, was able to resist temptation and escape by rescuing her father.

While Mujin was thinking about such sentiments in his heart, a strange story broke into his ears.

"Phew· I didn't know that Elder Zhuge had such ambitions..."

"Father· Cheer up a little· Monk Mujin said that there will also be reinforcements, so sooner or later, we will be able to get Sega back from Zhuge Prefecture."

“··· What do you mean by finding Sega in Zhuge County?"

"Zhuge County must be the new head of the family, so shouldn't we get Sega back from him?"

"Zhuge County is going?"

The Zhuge family owner in the novel that Mu Jin knew was not Zhuge County.

* * *

Zhuge Sega's Heart·

In the center of the hall, which is being used as a house hall in place of the collapsed house, there was an old man.

"What was the mood in Sega?"

"It's been five days now, so everyone is coming to terms with the situation. Apparently, it was a great effect to have the supply and demand of the immediate relatives."

Zhuge Hyun, who played the most important role in this event, happily bowed his head in response to the old man's question and made a report.

"Since you have only offered one shijin, are there not those who have doubts left?"

Since Zhuge Gong and his two sons could not be killed, the three of them had to set up a fake supply.

Naturally, in order not to be found out to be fake, I had to hang up only one of the supplies and burn them all.

But Zhuge County thought that was enough.

"The family lord has a lot of reputation, so that alone is enough to make it work."

All of his immediate family members had left the Sega family, and there were hardly any people from the realm who could not trust the current family owner.

Zhuge Xuan's words were satisfied, the family lord asked, shaking his head.

"What's going on in the Great Canyon?"

"They are surrounding the place where they are hiding and dismantling the True Law..."

Zhuge Xuan's answer made the family owner click his tongue lightly.

"If I had known it was going to be like this, I would have kept Zhuge Gate alive for a while..."

I didn't think that the foxy Zhuge Mun would have told his successors that he didn't even know he had.

He regretted it, but even if it had happened again, he wouldn't have spared Zhuge Gate.

If the family owner was alive, there was still a chance that someone would rescue him and plot against him.

"There were only about twenty of them in there anyway, and they wouldn't be able to crawl out of there because of the siege. If given time, they're dead."

Even those who helped the plot and the unmanned people of the Zhuge family. Approximately seventy unarmed men were sent there.

About a dozen of them went missing when they first set foot in the True Law, but there were still nearly sixty people surrounding the area.

Whether they starve to death in the inner house, or die from the dissolution of the True Law, or die on their own feet. In the end, Zhuge Hyun thought he was destined to die.

* * *

'Has the future changed?'

When a name that was different from the one he knew popped up, Mujin felt perplexed.

But come to think of it, they fled Sega shortly after the rebellion, so they wouldn't have had time to find out who became the head of the family.

Mujin asked, just in case.

"Why do you think Zhuge County is the new family lord?"

"You led the rebellion and talked to me about the fate of Jin Sheng, right?"

Qin Sheng was the person who started the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty and was the Emperor of the Throne of the Emperor Yong Yu Zhonghu (王侯將相 寧有種乎 There was a testament to the public's support with the remark.

But·

"He talked about the queen's boss, but he didn't say he was going to be the king, did he?"

“··· Isn't that what it usually means?"

"That's true, but from what I've heard, Zhuge Prefecture's influence in Sega is not very great, right? Even though his influence has increased a bit in recent years, wouldn't it have been difficult for him to attract the people of Sega with his influence even if he revolted with foreign power?"

"Come to think of . . . I don't know how he, who was in charge of external affairs as an elder of the outside party, managed to attract people from inside the Sega Party."

Hearing Mu Jin's point, Zhuge Gong also noticed that something was wrong, and he was worried.

But you won't be able to find out the truth by worrying in this remote place.

In the end, Mujin snuck up on the name of the family lord he had seen in the novel.

"Do you know Zhuge Qihuan?"

"You mean Captain Zhuge Qihuan?"

"Yes· Can you tell me about him?"

Mu Jin asked, hiding his thoughts, "Was he an elder?" and Zhuge Gong replied, "Why are you asking this?"

"Elder Zhuge is literally the head of the elders. And since most of the sects occupy the position of elders, it can be said that he is the head of the clans. Could it be!?"

Just as Zhuge Gong was surprised, Zhuge Jinxi and Lady Jia Mihua also had surprised faces.

Zhuge Hyun was at the forefront, so he couldn't easily think of Zhuge Qihuan.

But Mu Jin was more concerned about Zhuge Palace's explanation than their reaction.

"If you were the leader of the Clans, did you have the confidence of the Clans?"

“··· Due to the nature of our family, even the elder didn't enjoy much power. But he's a bridge between the immediate and the realms. Loosen the instructions of the immediate relatives and inform them of the flanks, or appease them when their grievances accumulate."

When the content of the conversation popped out, Mujin let out a deep sigh.

"What's wrong? Mujin Sokyo ·"

"After listening to the story, it seems that it won't be easy to get Sega back."

“··· That's what I expected. They've been chasing us all the way here and forming a siege camp."

At Zhuge Gong's words, Mu Jin shook his head.

"It's not hard to get out of here. It is also possible to "destroy" the Zhuge family. What I meant was that it's hard to get it back."

"What do you mean? It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to get it back..."

"It's been five days since the rebellion broke out. Since the clans have a lot of trust in Zhuge Qihuan, maybe the people of the Zhuge family already regard him as the new head of the family."

"How can you have a rightful heir alive and well, and you have him as your patriarch?"

"If there is a rightful successor, then rebellion or treason. Why should there be a new dynasty?"

“····”

In this era, there is a hierarchy.

Therefore, Zhuge Gong, who was a direct descendant, must have felt that his blood was enough to justify it, but it was not Mujin.

And that was a fact that countless historical events attested.

"Everyone is afraid of dying if they dare to participate in the rebellion, so they just put up with it. No one can resist a new leader who promises to make the world a better place."

“····”

"It is possible to purge the outside forces and rebels who have rebelled through the reinforcement army, but if the entire Zhuge family sides with Zhuge Qihuan, then everyone in the Sega family must be exterminated. It's ridiculously difficult, but even if you succeed, will you be able to call it Zhuge Sega even if all the people of Sega die?"

Mu Jin's words made Zhuge Gong dumb.

However, Mu Jin, who had just told Zhuge Gong the truth, was also at a loss.

'Cause· I need a cause."

The reason why the people of the Zhuge family will enshrine Zhuge Gong as the head of the family, not Zhuge Qihuan. A cause that even those who have been discriminated against are willing to accept!

'Damn· How many years do I have to wait after rescuing Zhuge Palace?'

In any case, as time goes by, the people of Sega will realize that something is wrong.

In the period when Doyue Chen was active, the Zhuge Sega was only a horse. In effect, they will be reduced to a group of servants of the Divine Heaven.

If that time came, it would be enough to convince them, but the problem remained.

"Even if Zhuge Palace is rescued, it will be a problem if it is discovered that we are protecting him... Damn· Zhuge Se can't show people the future... Wait· The future?'

Mu Jin found a clue in his complicated thoughts and urgently called Zhuge Jinxi.

"Zhuge Jinhui Siju· Do you still have the salary I told you about a moment ago?"

"Yes... As soon as I received it from Elder Zhuge County, I left it here to escape Sega."

In response to her answer, Mujin opened his mouth with a feeling of "this is it."

"If you analyze the unpaid salary, I think you can get a good justification."

"Do you mean this?"

Not only Zhuge Jinhui, but also Zhuge Gong and Madame Jia Mihua looked at Mu Jin, wondering what the hell was going on.

"Didn't Zhuge Jinxi say it? Just as they gave Sozer that salary, they must have sought a replacement for Mugong from the outside just before Sega's death..."

"I'm expecting it to be so, but what does that have to do with the current situation? Ah· Are you trying to justify that you are not a martial artist just before the end of the week?"

"Zhuge Gong, this Confucius also said that he did not learn martial arts just before the Emperor, so that is not a justification. What I'm trying to say is that it was obtained by an outside force that helped the rebellion."

Mujin, who read the novel, knew. As Zhuge Jinxi had predicted, they learned that they would gain some Ascension Martial Arts and New Void Discipline through Divine Heaven.

But it was going to be a trap for Zhuge Sega.
