[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

29 – Sagittal branch (4)

Turn it off.

An unidentified sound rings out. Judging by that loud crow, it was clear that it was the Jin family’s rooster next to the school.

“Hmph….”

It became a habit to wake up at dawn because of that damn chicken. I had no particular intention or intention to wake up at dawn, but even though it was early in the morning, I couldn’t sleep any longer.

“woke up?”

“Teacher Sunyu, when did you get so well-groomed?”

Sunyu was sitting on a chair, looking as neat as when she entered my room. I lightly washed my face with the water she poured, then cleaned up and sat down in front of her.

“Good morning.”

“That’s right. Now that fall is over, the cold winter will come.”

Happy times always feel short, and dark times feel long.

A good harvest full of harvests will probably soon disappear from people’s minds.

The threat surrounding Jingju has not yet disappeared, and in the winter, you have to worry that the grain you have accumulated will go bad or be eaten by rats.

But at least for now, I just enjoy this silence and catch my breath. I woke up from my daze by breathing in the refreshing early morning air.

“Sunuk’s work.”

Sun Yu put down the tea and pointed to the bamboo stick on the desk.

“If it’s okay, how about you go to Jinryu yourself?”

“Me?”

“Yes. I’m about to go up to Jinryu right now.”

“…You’ve decided.”

Sun Yu’s face was so peaceful.

The delusion she had shown the day she first came down here has completely disappeared. Now that Sunyu has made her decision, all that remains is confidence.

“Yes. I have decided. I will follow Cao Cao.”

“Can I ask why?”

“If what you say is true, then at least Jojo can forgive you for one failure.”

Sun-yu heard Sun-wook’s letter.

“If this content from Sunuk is, as you think, a letter in which someone gave advice, or a letter that was censored by King Jojo, then it is proof that Jojo intends to use talented people more actively.”

“Why is that so?”

“Others would have executed him immediately upon seeing a letter like this.”

“…You lived because you were JoJo?”

Sunyu nodded silently.

“You must have vaguely realized at some point. Oh, can we continue to send and receive letters like this? Isn’t the content starting to contain too much military secrets? I guess I won’t be losing money by writing down and sending the military secrets I see in Jingju as well. , But what if Sunwook gets harmed?”

“It’s not that I haven’t actually thought about it. But so far, it’s been good.”

“Because it was okay, you need to confirm any sudden changes. If you go and talk face to face rather than standing up, you will be able to find out the truth.”

Sunyu held out the letter and smiled.

“As a bonus, you can tell from the letter, but the sincerity cannot be hidden at all.”

“…Sir. I am.”

“I know. I have no intention of holding office. If someone points a knife at your neck and tells you to take office, you are the kind of person who will run away to a place that will guarantee your safety, unless it is like a prefect somewhere safe in the rear.”

It’s a harsh assessment, but it’s the correct answer.

“So, let me go instead. If Cao Cao is hoping that the person he has been communicating with so far will be appointed, wouldn’t Cao Cao be satisfied if you recommend me this time? hehehe.”

“Sir. Humans are basically beings with endless greed.”

“But Jojo is a smart man. He knows that it is beneficial to leave you alone. I will do that, and so will Sunuk.”

Sunyu held my hand and smiled.

“Me and Sunuk will be the dykes to protect you. That’s okay?”

“…I’m just grateful. I don’t think I’ve done much for you and Munyak, but I’m so grateful that you care about me like this.”

“You didn’t do anything for me. You really…did a lot for me.”

Sunyu lowered her head for a moment and then smiled.

“You could say more, but you didn’t do more, but you’ve done so much for me. Thank you, Wolyoung.”

“I think this is the first time you call me by my name.”

“Because you don’t like being called by the name Wolyoung. But you want to live a life that lives up to your name, so we’ll make that happen.”

The moon’s shadow definitely exists.

However, everyone looks at the bright moon rising in the night sky and does not easily notice the shadow.

“So, come up to Jinyu with me.”

“…You won’t be threatened with detention if you don’t go for no reason, right?”

“To prevent that, I’m going up with you. To commission.”

Sun-yu opened the bamboo book written as a letter about the bamboo book sent by Sun-wook to me.

-The bamboo span is too short to write down a plan to defeat the Black Bandits. So, I recommend someone to you. You are also familiar with it.

“Sunyu, you’re sleeping.”

By recommending Sun Yu in a letter, Sun Yu will be appointed to Cao Cao’s army.

“Thank you for finding me a good job, Wolyoung.”

“…Teacher Sunyu. Have you been waiting for a situation like this?”

“What?”

“The most difficult time militarily for Cao Cao’s army, the time when you need a military strategy that can show your value the most.”

“…….”

Sun Yu smiled while drinking tea.

“Rather than waiting for the right time, I thought it would be a waste to miss the right moment.”

The morning sunlight shining on Sunyu was brighter than ever.

“So you want to go to the concert for a while?”

“Yes, I do, mother.”

Before leaving.

I came to Yangyang to meet Chaehyeon.

She became more beautiful than when I first met her, put on makeup and greeted me with a more sophisticated look.

“It’s a shame. I won’t be able to see my handsome son for a while.”

“I’ll be back soon. But what about your mother and father…?”

“Don’t even bring up that human story.”

Chaehyun frowned and shook his head.

“I don’t know where he is or what he’s doing. Not long ago, he went out to look for a man with a wound on his forearm, but he came back three months later. It was to get revenge on a certain boy or something. Do you know what he’s been doing recently?”

“What brought you out?”

“They said they unpacked their bags, took money, and left to start a war of words against the Confucian scholars in Gangdong. Oh, the Hwang family should really be grateful to you. It was a disaster because you were there, otherwise the Chae family would have really officially complained to the Hwang family. Because I do.”

“…Well, doesn’t your father have things he wants to live in his own way?”

I’m not a weirdo for nothing.

“hehehe, that’s right. Thanks to leaving home, I can spend such quality time with my son. It’s so nice…”

Chaehyun adjusted her posture. I wondered why this suddenly happened, but my whole body immediately became tense from the anger I felt from afar.

“sister?”

“Is it incense?”

“uh.”

When the door opened, the woman who came in was a woman with a similar face to Chaehyeon, but a bit more haughty and arrogant. I stood up straight towards her and bowed politely.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Mrs. Chae.”

‘Mrs. Chae.’

This is a title that Chae-hyeon’s younger brother, ‘Chae-hyang’, received when she officially became Yu-pyo’s second wife. Even though she is my adoptive mother’s younger sister in private, I must at least show respect to her.

“Okay. What’s going on here?”

“I had to go to a concert for a while, so I came to say hello to my mother.”

“Good boy. Don’t be like your adoptive father, okay?”

“Of course. I’ll be back before the sun sets.”

Being away from the academy for a long time is not something I want.

“Okay. It’s cold in the winter, so be careful where you go. Would you like me to give you an escort?”

“I will take your heart. Since you have company, I don’t think you need to worry too much.”

“Really? Hmm… Well, I guess you can take care of it yourself.”

This woman seems arrogant and arrogant, but she is kind to her people.

As she is the woman who will become a powerful figure in Hyeongju in the future, I must treat her well.

“Oh, that’s right. While we’re here, let me ask you something. In a fight between Won Soo and Gongsun Chan, who do you think will win?”

suddenly? That’s what I thought, but I understand.

Mrs. Chae will sleep in the same room as Yoo Pyo, and she can hear Yoo Pyo’s worries from the pillowcase.

“You seem to be worried these days.”

If she whispers to Yoo Pyo and it comes true, her position within Hyeongju will become even stronger, no matter how much she is his second wife.

“It’s Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Right now, Gongsun Zan is strong. But Yuan Shao has taken possession of Giju. The method may be said to be somewhat naive, but the problem is that people are still following Yuan Shao even after using that method.”

“So? Who wins?”

“At least as long as we maintain our alliance, we should hope that Yuan Shao wins. This is a completely personal judgment, but I think Yuan Shao will win.”

“why?”

“I have a feeling.”

It would be foolish to reveal all your cards to Mrs. Chae. For now, just saying ‘feel’ is enough.

“Really? If that’s what you say, then it must be so. The elements win.”

The problem is that after listening to my advice last time and having fun with it, this woman has come to trust my words quite a bit, if not completely.

“Okay. Did you two want to continue talking? Then I will make room for you.”

“No. Madam Chae is here, so I have to make room for her.”

“Isn’t that the story? …Hmm, I’m only saying this because there’s no one out for a moment.

“

Mrs. Chae smiled brightly at Chae-hyeon, who did not say a word.

“Sister. You can’t paint my face?”

“……is not it.”

“…Keuhum.”

“You too be careful.”

Mrs. Chae left me a warning rather than a warning.

“But…nephew. It’s been a while since we met like this. You’re not just going to leave, are you? Let’s talk some more and then go.”

“Mrs. Chae?”

“My sister brags about her son so much, but I’m curious so I should be able to hold back. hehehe. That’s because I need to borrow your wisdom.”

“My wisdom?”

“Okay. Just in case.”

Mrs. Chae grabbed my wrist with a serious expression.

“If I give birth to Yu-pyo’s son, will my child be able to succeed Yu-pyo and become governor of Jingju?”

“…I think we need to have a little more serious talk.”

I had an in-depth conversation with the two Chae sisters.

Almost, to the point of staying up all night.

My cousin is the governor of Gyeongju.

‘I can’t stand this.’
