“Whoa.”
“Do you see it?”
“Yes, I can see it.”
“Is there still a chance of success?”
“It will be a little higher than Chilhal. But if you say you will save more power… then it will be lower.”
“I don’t plan on taking that much of a risk. I have a lot of time anyway.”
“You have a lot of time? Really?”
“Of course.”
“Are you sure?”
“At least it’s more reliable than your technique.”
“Let me say something out of anger. If you still think of him as the dog you raised…” “
If you think of him as the dog you raised, why? Is there anything you can’t do?”
“….”
“There are many ugly people who died from being bitten by their own dogs. But I still think of them as nothing more than dogs.”
“What have you learned so far?”
“That I might get bitten. No, I’m an ugly guy who has already been bitten too.”
“…!”
“Acknowledging that one thing made me feel better, even though it made me feel sad.”
“I don’t think so. I’ve said it many times already, but as long as you look down on him and call him a dog, you can never win.”
“….”
“He’s a tiger. And a tiger can never be tamed. Just because you’ve handled a tiger that hides its wild nature and is looking for the right time, you shouldn’t dismiss it as a dog.”
“So does anything change?”
“What have you been listening to me until now?”
“Whether it’s a dog or a tiger, they’re just animals in the end. And as I’m saying right now, conversations like this are just meaningless puns.”
“….”
“It’s a dangerous enemy. You just need to know that one thing. So, stop worrying about that and just do what you need to do.”
“Whew.”
“When should I know how to use the technique?”
“Ten days later. And once the technique starts, you won’t be able to move at all for seven days.”
“I guess I should get ready soon too.”
“What about the crown prince?”
“He’s sleeping well. Maybe because he can’t eat anything, he’s getting a little dry.”
“Just pay attention to water intake. Even if your body dries out, your natural vitality is strong, so you will have no problem holding on.”
“I will do that.”
“Let me say one last thing.”
“Say it.”
“If… this technique succeeds…” “
….”
“Then you will become a truly dangerous being. A person who accepts blood source energy and seven energy. “Because you will immediately gain the strength to take on the world alone.”
“Know.”
“But great power inevitably makes people simple. Even you can’t avoid that.”
“….”
“Don’t be swayed by power. That’s the last thing I want to ask you to do.”
“You can’t rule the world by yourself. I think brains are a better weapon than strength.
If the opponent wasn’t that guy, I wouldn’t have gambled so recklessly.”
“I hope that feeling never changes.”
“Be strong just a little longer. Only when I conquer the world can you also gain freedom.”
“I know. That’s why I’m overdoing it.”
“I will come back in ten days.”
“okay.”
* * *
“long time no see.”
“How have you been?”
“Thanks to the leader.”
Seo-ryang smiled and raised his voice.
“You’ve dried up a lot since I haven’t seen you before.”
“I apologize.”
“I’m sorry the congratulations were so late. Congratulations on officially becoming the head of the clan.”
Gong Yachi smiled.
“thank you.”
“I wish I had some free time, but seeing as you sent me a separate letter, it looks like something is quite urgent.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Let’s go inside and talk.”
“I understand. Ah! And…”
Gong Yachi bowed towards Zhou Qing.
“A lowly subject meets the noble person of the world. It is called Gongyachi, who leads the weak Bangpa.”
Zhou Qing glanced at Xu Liang.
“I wish you guys had learned as much manners as this guy.”
Xiliang snorted.
“You are an emperor, but I am a god.”
“Wow.”
After tasting his food, Zhou Cheng opened his mouth.
“Wake up.”
“yes.”
Gong Yachi was unusually polite. In fact, he seemed to be more polite than when dealing with Seo-ryang.
Zhou Qing smiled.
“You have a good eye.”
“Thank you….”
“I know that your example is not truly out of young loyalty. But it probably means that you should not make the emperor your enemy in case an empire is established in the future.”
Gong Yachi lowered his head without saying a word.
It was an acknowledgment replaced by silence. Zhou Qing burst out laughing.
“It’s good to be honest. Yes, I like the courtesy of revealing a trick better than loyalty full of lies.”
“Here comes the Emperor.”
“The branch is quite large. The journey is somewhat tiring. Is there a room where we can rest?”
“Of course. We have provided you with the highest quality accommodations, so I hope you can rest comfortably.”
“Thank you.”
With that, the group, excluding Xu Liang, headed to the VIP room of the branch under Hao Mun-tao’s guidance.
Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.
“You’re still the same. Even if it’s empty words, you don’t tell lies.”
“I will do it if necessary, but the emperor doesn’t seem to need it.”
“Your insight is still the same.”
“haha.”
“Let’s just go in.”
So the two people entered the room.
After serving Byeok Lachun to Seo-ryang, Gong Ya-chi said bluntly:
“I want to tell you something about the crown prince.”
For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.
“Is it because of the crown prince’s reaction?”
There was surprise on Gong Yachi’s face.
“Did you know?”
“I didn’t know originally. I talked to the emperor about various things on the way here.
Now that I think about it, I wonder why the crown prince, who is so proud and hates the martial arts people, didn’t respond at all.”
“You are truly amazing.”
Gong Yachi picked one of several documents and handed it to Xu Liang.
“Please look at this first.”
“hmm.”
Seolyang’s eyes widened as he read the document carefully.
Gong Yachi continued.
“We have not noticed a single movement of the Damsayeong side’s forces.
The number of troops numbers in the thousands, and completely hiding their movements is impossible with ordinary effort.”
“…yes.”
“In other words, it can be interpreted to mean that there is a reason not to take the time, even if it means delaying it. Then it makes sense that we do not know where that huge army was headed.”
Gong Yachi smiled coldly.
“So, all of Hao Wen’s informants were released indiscriminately throughout the Central Plains.”
Xi Liang looked at Gong Ya Qi.
Gong Yachi’s eyes were burning with passion.
“Look here, Gongya.”
“Yes, Master.”
Xu Liang said as if he felt burdened.
“There was no need to find out like this.”
All of Hao Wen’s informants were released throughout the Central Plains?
It was literally an astronomical amount of money being spent.
Considering that each of them had put aside their responsibilities and moved on, it was clear that they had suffered jaw-dropping losses.
Gong Yachi boldly did such a thing.
They were willing to give up a large sum of money, equivalent to ten years’ worth of operating funds, for something that did not have a very high chance of success.
Gong Yachi lowered his head.
“I don’t think that will happen, but if even in the unlikely event that Damsayoung gains hegemony, Haomun’s history will also be cut short.”
“….”
“I did it for the leader, but it was also for me. So you don’t have to feel burdened.”
“Huh.”
Xiliang sighed.
“So this is the result.”
“That’s right.”
Gong Yachi’s eyes sparkled.
“We probed the entire area north of the Yangtze River, where
the Chilpa and the Three Families are located. Among them, opposition arose in many areas, including Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, and Shanxi. It was clear that there was a move to control information.”
“But I finally got through it.”
“Yes, we mobilized all of our intelligence sources. However, there was one area that was not penetrated.”
Seoliang recited the name of the region written at the bottom of the document.
“Hebei.”
“That’s right.”
Gong Yachi smiled.
“Among them, the Hebei Beijing area, where the imperial palace is located, was not penetrated.”
Xiliang sighed.
“In other words, the place where Damsayoung’s troops are located is Beijing?”
“I think so.”
“Just because the intelligence network wasn’t breached doesn’t mean you think he and his troops are in Beijing, right?”
“That’s right.”
Gong Yachi brought another document.
“Look at this.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a way of responding to information.”
“How to respond to information? What is it?”
“When a martial artist is dancing, at the beginning, he or she lightly shakes the hand and checks the opponent’s reaction. The
same goes for information. If you poke in this way, you respond in that way. There is a so-called combination of penetration and reaction. ”
Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.
“however?”
“As you can see from the document, the information response method is extremely unreasonable. This is not just information disruption, but complete destruction of the information network.”
“Destruction?!”
“Yes. If you disrupt the information network to this extent, the network itself is bound to be fundamentally damaged. Because loopholes will inevitably be revealed.”
“then…?”
“But it has a big effect right now. It’s so confusing that even if you get some information, you can’t easily interpret its meaning.”
Surprise appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
“Does this mean that if we just get through this one time, there will be no need to build such an information network again?”
“You saw it correctly.”
Xu Liang looked at the document again.
Some parts seemed to make sense, while other parts did not make sense at all. Since I had never worked or studied in the information industry in the first place, it was natural for me to not know.
But I knew one thing.
‘It’s incredibly complicated.’
The entanglement of lines is beyond imagination. He threw a punch from one side, but from the other side, fists and feet were not enough, and even swords and spear blades were thrown at him mercilessly.
‘This is like…’
Seoryang opened his mouth without realizing it.
“I’m not sure, but it looks like a scared child causing a mess. It looks like it’s making a mess in the house.”
Admiration appeared on Gong Yachi’s face.
“That’s amazing. Beijing’s information network is exactly like that.”
“Hmm.”
Seoriang, who had been staring at the document for a long time with his legs crossed, asked.
“What is the probability that it is Damsayoung’s side?”
“If you look at it objectively, I’m confident it’s 80%, but in my subjective evaluation, I’m confident it’s 100%.”
It was a great feeling of confidence. It is no exaggeration to say that I am quite sure of this.
Xu Liang nodded.
“You worked hard.”
“Now that you know where the enemy is, you can immediately plan a strike operation.
Since there are more troops gathered in a narrower area than expected, sending a special force composed of high-ranking soldiers would be enough…” “
No, that’s enough.”
“yes?”
Xu Liang smiled.
“I just needed to know where he was. All that was left was to wait.”
Gong Yachi’s eyes wavered.
“Are you not planning on making a preemptive strike?”
“I don’t think a preemptive strike would be meaningful at this point.”
“…!”
“Dam Sa-yeong, who was struggling due to a lack of intelligence, is in such a desperate situation that he has given up his powerful weapon called intelligence.
It is dangerous in many ways to hastily send troops to a guy like that.”
“Of course, that’s true, but…”
“Don’t worry. This information you worked so hard to obtain was really helpful.”
Demonic energy blazed in Xu Liang’s eyes.
“…You said that, chaff?”
