“How dare you play with me now?”

Namgung Biyeon’s voice became cold.

It had to be that way.

Zhuge Qinghe’s words just now sounded almost as provocative as saying he was going to fight.

Considering Moorim’s distribution, it was truly an absurd statement.

Is there really a late Jisoo who can say such words to the Namgung family’s Galaxy Sword?

But it was here.

It even got a little more spicy.

“No pun intended. I’m just telling you the truth.”

A horse that stands up to the world’s galaxy sword without taking a single step back.

The appearance certainly felt confident, but at the same time it also felt quite arrogant.

This was the reason why the expression on Gokwigang’s face as he slowly retreated was one of contemplation.

“Je, Je, Jegal, soldier, why, why, why are you like this? Please, please stop.”

Qu Wei Gang frantically stuttered in embarrassment and urgently stopped Zhuge Qinghe.

It’s so bad that he pulls the sleeve of a tall girl who normally wouldn’t even dare to reach out.

It wasn’t just Gokwigang who was embarrassed.

Namgung-ji was also embarrassed.

It was natural that an unexpected commotion would arise at the solemn funeral of his father.

“ And, my aunt, please stop fixating.”

Namgungji dissuaded Namgung Biyeon.

However, Namgung Bi-yeon had no intention of listening to the dissuasion.

This is because he was planning to give a harsh admonishment to the Moorim junior who dared to show arrogance in an unpleasant situation.

‘Hmph, it’s impossible… … uh?’

But at that moment.

The thought that Namgung Ji was saying was right and that she should listen to him immediately filled Namgung Biyeon’s mind.

Of course, it was because of the suggestions made through hypnosis.

‘Ji, what Jia said is truly right. It would be a shame for me, the elder, to get angry over a young child.’

The scary thing about Jang-il’s ability is that, unlike other low-level hexes such as Seophon, he creates a plausible reason and naturally convinces himself of it.

It was like that right now.

Namgung Bi-yeon, who made up his own reasons and was convinced, calmed his anger and took a step back.

“I will.”

Gokwigang looked like he was very fortunate to see that.

But.

Zhuge Qingha’s strange eyes fluttered briefly as if he felt some kind of discomfort.

‘With one word from Confucius Nangungji, the Galaxy Sword Daehyup will meekly retreat?’

It was strange.

It does not fit at all with Nangongji’s position within the family as known to the public and as known to Zhuge Qingha.

The successor is actually the second son, Namgung-hyeon.

Not only Zhuge Ching-he, but everyone knew that.

It is also true that the eldest son, Namgoongji, is completely pushed out and completely ignored.

however.

‘Confucius Nangungji’s words have that much power?’

This can’t be a coincidence.

Zhuge Qinghe did not believe in coincidences.

There was clearly a reason for the phenomenon.

And the reason is.

‘Confucius Nangongji was not completely pushed out, as is known to the world.’

Zhuge Qingha was sure.

Rather, it was clear that he still had his own position within the family.

New, valuable information that was difficult to obtain was refreshed in her mind.

“I think I showed some shortcomings.”

Zhuge Qinghe also took a step back.

But that was just to change the mood, and I had no intention of leaving like this.

‘It would be impossible to extract information from the people of the Namgung family anyway.’

Unless he was an idiot, there was no way he would have leaked such words to an outsider.

Does not matter.

Because I originally planned to use a different method.

“Can I make a request?”

“Tell me.”

Even though he had a grumpy expression on his face, Namgoongji answered like that.

Because the other person is the second daughter of the Zhuge family, who has a mother-in-law.

Reporter Moon Sang Cheon, the leader of the martial arts faction, could not coldly cut off the request of his favorite child.

“I would like to offer you some more bows to pray for your peace.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t a difficult request.

He openly prayed for his peace, but he even refused.

So Nangungji nodded.

“I understand.”

“Thank you, then.”

Zhuge Qinghe walked back to where the memorial tablet was.

And then he started bowing like before.

But this time it was definitely different from before.

Because I buried my head deeply on the floor and didn’t get up for a while.

‘what are you doing?’

Namgoongji tilted his head with puzzled eyes.

I had never even heard of a temple like that.

Nangong Feiyeon stared at Zhuge Qinghe’s appearance with a puzzled gaze.

Still, neither of them could open their mouths to say anything.

It was clearly rude to talk to a mourner while he or she was bowing.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Qinghe was completely concentrating on one sense.

smell.

It was a smell coming from the coffin.

No matter how clean the body is with fragrant water, it cannot cover up all the odor.

However, I wasn’t looking for a smell that could be found in an ordinary corpse.

Something else.

Something else would reveal the truth about Namgoongaju’s cause of death.

Zhugechengha opens his nose and continues to deeply inhale the scent.

‘This… … .’

A strange scent that can finally be felt.

It was a sensation that could not be felt in a natural death.

But it was very weak.

It was so weak that even Zhuge Qinghe found it difficult to be certain.

however.

I found a clue.

clearly.

‘poison?’

I can’t be sure.

However, it cannot be denied.

possibility of murder.

And assuming it was a murder.

‘It is extremely difficult to use poison on a being as big as the head of the Nangung family.’

Status, military service, escort, all of them were like a huge wall to Salsu.

Who on earth can break through that wall?

That’s right.

‘From the inside?’

Zhuge Qingxia’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

If the pleural effusion is internal, it explains everything.

And if there is a phenomenon, there must be a reason.

In this case, we can’t help but think of the person who would benefit the most from the death of the Nangung family.

‘The Namgung family has not yet decided on a successor. However, he must have been planning to select his second son, Prince Namgunghyeon, as his successor in the near future.’

Who wouldn’t ever want that?

There definitely is.

One person.

‘Prince Nangungji.’

Zhuge Chenghe’s eyes narrowed.

Once a successor was decided, it was over.

Contrary to popular information, he can no longer even dream of becoming the next head of the family, regardless of whether he has a certain status or not.

What if extreme measures were taken to somehow prevent that?

‘The possibility is… … ‘There definitely is.’

Zhuge Qinghe finally woke up.

Of course, it is still only a possibility.

However, she intended to discuss this with her father.

I didn’t know that my father, the wisest person in the world, would find the answer.

“Did something happen?”

Namgungji expressed doubts about the temple being too long.

“No, silent prayer.”

“Hmm, I guess it was something like that.”

Although I wasn’t completely convinced, Namgungji just passed on.

Because I didn’t think it was something worth inquiring about.

“Okay then.”

Zhuge Qinghe gave a bow of resignation.

Because there was nothing more to find out.

“I’m in a hurry, so I set it up a little bit, but I’m going to grab a drink and go.”

“I will.”

Zhuge Qinghe went out with Qu Wei Gang.

I saw other mourners waiting outside the main sanctuary.

It was then.

Zhuge Qinghe’s eyes widened again as he discovered something.

“Please eat this way.”

“Yes.”

A mourner wearing a cotton hat passed by.

Even after that, Zhuge Qinghe stood still.

“What are you doing, soldier Zhuge?”

“Gok Daehyeop.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s wait over there.”

“Who… … ?”

Gokwigang opened his eyes wide in bewilderment.

“People on the list and related persons.”

***

“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

The woman from the village turned her gaze at the voice she heard.

Zhuge Qinghe and Qu Yugang were standing there.

“I am the Jeongha of the Zhuge family. And this person is Gokwigang Daehyeop of the Murim Alliance.”

“Ah, I’ve heard of those two’s toppings. It is an honor to meet you like this.”

The woman’s eyes widened slightly.

Probably because I was surprised.

“Are you Hwangbo’s wife from the Geumryong Battlefield?”

“Yes, I am correct about Hwang Bo’s theory.”

Myeonsanyeo, or rather Hwang Bo-seol, nodded.

She came to pay condolences on behalf of the owner, Bang So-un.

Coincidentally, that order was followed by Zhuge Qinghe.

“As expected, I saw it correctly.”

Zhuge Qinghe said, staring at Hwang Bo-seol’s face covered by the cotton thread.

Even a cotton thread could not hide Zhuge Qinghe’s sharp eyes.

Of course, it was also because Hwang Bo-seol’s innate atmosphere of simplicity was special.

“But what about Lord Jang?”

Just as a thread and a needle go together, if you have a wife, your husband should be by your side.

But Hwang Bo-seol was alone.

“Your Majesty is bedridden… … .”

Hwang Bo-seol’s voice subsided.

It couldn’t be true.

Not only was Bang So-yun sitting safely in a corner of Anhui, but he was also enjoying himself.

That was just an excuse to reveal to the world what Bang So-un told Hwang Bo-seol.

“He is bedridden. I see.”

Zhuge Chenghe’s eyes sparkled slightly.

That was definitely not an expression of understanding.

It was an expression that passed by so lightly and quickly that others could not notice it.

“Then who is Jang Il?”

Long day.

He was also a person on the list.

Bang Soun’s bodyguard.

“Warrior Jang is Sang Sang’s bodyguard, so he never leaves Sang Sang’s side.”

“Then I guess it’s still like that.”

“Of course.”

A curious question that can only be seen as rude.

However, this time, Gokwi Gang did not stop him.

Because the conversation is already over.

‘There isn’t a single strange corner, but what on earth does Zhuge military want to check?’

Still, I clicked my tongue inside.

Because it was an incomprehensible action.

“Okay.”

Surprisingly, Zhuge Qinghe nodded obediently and walked away.

“Thank you for your words. Then next time.”

“Ah… yes. See you next time.”

Hwang Bo-seol says hello and walks away.

After waiting for her to disappear, Qu Yugang immediately asked.

“What on earth are you checking?”

“Do you think that’s true?”

Zhuge Qinghe’s rebuttal.

“Yes? So you really need to lie?”

Gokwigang looked at him in bewilderment.

“It’s so natural.”

“Yes?”

“I didn’t feel the agitation I should have felt when asked a question from a stranger.”

“No, that varies from person to person… … .”

“I prepared perfectly. Why did you have to do that?”

“Huh?”

Gokwigang still looked like he couldn’t understand.

“It moves right away. I have to check it out myself.”

“Where on earth?”

“Hangzhou. Golden Dragon Battlefield.”

“Yes?”

Gokwigang’s eyes widened.

“So, are you checking whether what I said earlier was true or not?”

“That’s it.”

“But how on earth are you going to check on a person who is bedridden?”

“There is a way to check everything.”

Zhuge Qinghe moved forward without delay.

“Let’s go together, Jegal soldier!”

***

“Surin unnie.”

“Yes, manager.”

“It’s urgent. Please convey my words to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry immediately.”

“What do you say?”

“Dream Hwanhwa at the Namgung family asked about Gong Sang and Musa Jang.”

“Okay.”

“They also said that something was not unusual.”

“Yes, then.”

Yeonsu-rin immediately moved Shinhyeong.
