“It’s summer.”

Summer has come.

The season has arrived when cicadas cling to the trees and start chirping.

It’s early summer, the sky is blue and clear, and occasional showers dampen the slightly scorching heat.

“Ryang, why do cicadas sing so loudly every summer? They’ll fall to the ground and die in just 15 days anyway.”

“I guess it’s about finding a mate.”

“match?”

“Yes. Wouldn’t you like to find a partner to spend your short life of 15 days with?”

“What are you going to do to find a mate?”

“That’s it…”

Zhuge Liang spilled his words.

While I was talking with her, I thought that this was not the case and thought I should change the topic.

“Did you know that? That cicada might be the same age as me.”

“yes?”

“It is said that they live underground for decades at most, waiting to become cicadas. They crouch in the cold ground, become adults, and fly up into the sky. They spend most of their lives crouched, and at the end, they take off in a spectacular manner.”

“That’s kind of a shame.”

“why?”

“Everyone likes to make their name known when they are young.”

“hahahaha, yes. But there are people who live like cicadas.”

It is possible for a person to spread their wings anew after turning 50.

Although it is said to be the last years of life, there are people who see the light only at the end of their lives.

“It’s really nice weather. But….”

“The performance must be in the midst of a war right now.”

Unlike Jingzhou, Yeonju, ruled by Cao Cao, is probably in the midst of a deadly battle.

Isn’t it truly amazing?

Although it is clearly a distance that can be reached by horseback for three or four days, on one side they are plowing the field peacefully, but on the other side they are swinging spears and poles to hit the other person’s neck.

The confrontation between Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

It made me wonder if this really happened under the same sky.

“Liang, who do you want to win between Cao Cao and Lu Bu?”

“Does one of you have to win?”

“If Cao Cao and Lü Bu fight, one of them will win.”

“…Then let’s mutually destroy each other on friendly terms?”

I sighed inwardly at Zhuge Liang’s calm words.

I knew that there was still a lot of antipathy towards Cao Cao, but I never thought he would say ‘common annihilation’.

“Why do you want mutual annihilation?”

“I want Cao Cao to fall, but I don’t want Lü Bu to rise to power again.”

“Why Lu Bu?”

“Isn’t he the one who changed his father twice? I don’t want someone like that to win.”

“…I never thought they would stab that thing and come in.”

Most people in the world curse Lü Bu for working under Dong Zhuo.

However, Zhuge Liang criticized Lü Bu for everything, including his background in working under Dong Zhuo and his betrayal of Dong Zhuo.

“It’s not like I just changed it. When I was under Dong Zhuo’s control, I fell for Dong Zhuo’s trick and killed him in exchange for a red cuttlefish. When I was under Dong Zhuo, I killed Dong Zhuo with the help of Apostle Wang Yun’s help. Who could treat someone like this as a son? “Did you?”

“Now that I’m a little older, it’s past time to call him my son.”

“Yes. In the future, he will ask people who are younger than him to call him older brother.”

Zhuge Liang placed great importance on courtesy.

“Then, Liang, you are saying that you must follow the funeral will?”

“Could it be that the Five Rings were created for nothing?”

“Then why do you treat Sima Yi like that?”

“…….”

Zhuge Liang didn’t say anything.

Fortunately, Sima Yi was in the field far away, plowing the field with a hoe.

Although she glanced in this direction and smiled brightly, she seemed to be sincere about tending the field.

“Sima Yi is your senior. If you truly want to study under me, you must not only respect your teacher, but also respect your seniors.”

“Master. Can you consider people like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao as your teachers?”

“What do you mean? Are you saying that Sima Yi is the same person as Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao?”

“yes.”

I was dumbfounded.

“Why? Did Sima Yi change the emperor to his liking like Dong Zhuo, or did he mercilessly slaughter innocent people like Cao Cao? Why do you say such things so carelessly?”

“Because he seems like that type of person.”

“Isn’t that because you have malice toward Sima Yi?”

“Master.”

Zhuge Liang pointed to the sky.

“Have you ever heard of reading heavenly records?”

“…I know roughly. I roughly learned it from the person who took me in before.”

Although it is just an area to master, your knowledge of astronomy is at a level that you can show off to others.

To be honest, if a lecture on astronomy was held at Shujing Academy, I could teach it better than Sima Hui.

It’s because it’s a course that doesn’t make money because there aren’t enough people to take it, but the knowledge I had in my head still remains in my head.

“But why is Cheonki suddenly?”

“That person is like that.”

“…….”

I was at a loss as to how to respond to Zhuge Liang’s words.

Because Zhuge Liang randomly said mean things?

no.

The first day I saw Sima Yi, I saw a ‘dragon’ in Sima Yi.

I saw a gigantic being that looked like a dragon, looked like a Sagar, or something indescribable.

And rather than a being peacefully roaming the golden sky, it felt like a being fiercely sowing malice in the stormy darkness.

now….

‘It’s just cute.’

The sight of people rolling up their sleeves and working hard on the ground with a hoe and plowing the fields with people from Western Zhou is just heartwarming.

There are times when he shows that side, but from my experience with Sima Yi so far, that side only appears in ‘certain situations’.

To be specific…

“Liang.”

I made eye contact with Zhuge Liang and then hugged her.

“No, let me go!”

“When I met Sima Yi, he was just the size of you.”

In terms of size, age, and intellectual ability, the current Zhuge Liang was quite similar to Sima Yi of the time.

I felt very complicated, as if a wild cat had come into the house, but Sima Yi has now become a more gentle and kind child than any other dog.

“The saying, “True Insa, Great Destiny” is certainly true. People have a destiny determined by heaven, and their lives change accordingly. But why not think about it that way? There may be a different path from the predetermined destiny, and sometimes humans fulfill their destiny. “It is a law that you can go against and live a new life.”

“Going against the will of heaven means going against the law of nature, which is like water flowing backwards. Master, when blood flows backwards….”

Zhuge Liang shuddered and stretched out his feet on the ground.

“I’m dying.”

“hahahaha, I won’t die. If you say that it is fate for humans to live according to nature, would you say that it is natural for the people of Western Zhou to die?”

“that….”

Zhuge Liang is definitely a man of words.

However, I do not have enough experience yet to immediately refute someone who has lived with only one word of mouth, or rather, one with only one mouth.

“I have seen humans directly resist and strive against the fate set by heaven. Depending on what a person does, the fate set by heaven can change.”

“Where is that?”

“there is.”

The legend of the emperor who killed Sun Jian, who killed Hua Xiong.

Everyone expected that he would lose, but the emperor broke everyone’s expectations and worked hard to kill Sun Jian.

If the heavens had determined the emperor’s victory, the emperor would have fought with even a little negligence.

And that carelessness may have resulted in the Qi of Heaven being transferred to Sun Jian and the Emperor being killed.

…If Sun Jian says it is heaven’s decree that he will die there, then there is nothing he can do about it.

“The movement of the sky is ever-changing. Keep in mind. Don’t think that everything always goes according to nature, like clouds flowing by. No one knows how human affairs will go.”

“…I understand, Master. I understand.”

Zhuge Liang, with a tearful face, pointed to my hand on his waist.

“…Please get off.”

“Yes, yes.”

I put Zhuge Liang down.

Zhuge Liang, who was adjusting his clothes, turned away from me, his ears red.

Did I make you angry?

From noble mtl dot com

“Master.”

ah. okay.

It always happens like this in situations like this.

I turned around when I heard a soft yet quiet voice coming from behind me.

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“You’re not allowed to touch a girl’s body like that?”

Grinning.

Sima Yi smiled warmly, holding the hoe in his hand tightly.

“The girl is very-”

“Master!!!”

From afar, a scream-like cry was heard.

“A guest has arrived!!”

“customer?”

At this time?

I didn’t think there would be any guests who would come at this time.

“You came to see Teacher Su-kyung, but Teacher Su-kyung is not there right now….”

“…Where did this person go again?”

Whenever I had time, I left the house and went abroad, so I suddenly found myself managing Sugyeong Academy.

“Are you going to see Duke Fang again?”

“It seems so.”

“I guess you don’t notice the time passing because you’re floating a boat on the Yangtze River and fishing. Got it. I’ll go and serve the guests.”

I cleaned up and went back to the school.

“…Wow.”

There, a woman with waist-length black hair was waiting for me, wearing a civil servant’s uniform.

The atmosphere was similar to that of Sima Hui, but while Sima Hui had a soft and gentle atmosphere, the woman seemed quite harsh and haughty.

Beauty.

female.

civil servant.

Definitely not an ordinary woman.

“Excuse me, teacher. Teacher Soo-kyung is not here, so I would like to attend you. My name is Geum Tae-yang, and I am an instructor at this academy. What is your name?”

“…Geum-tae? Mr. Geum? Is your name Tae-yang?”

“Geum, Wolyeong, and the sleeping sun.”

“I almost messed up when we first met again. I’m sorry. I haven’t been able to sleep these days.”

There was a deep shadow under the woman’s eyes.

It was clear that she hadn’t slept well for several days, and she looked extremely tired.

“My name is Hwa, and my name is Munhu. Please just say that I am Mr. Munhu.”

“……?”

It’s a woman with a ruler, a woman I’ve never heard of.

Did it come from outside Jingju?

“I’d like to talk to you two for a moment.”

“…….”

Two of us.

I took Mr. Moonhu with me and headed to the reception room.

After brewing the tea, I sat back and faced Mr. Moonhu alone.

“You can speak now.”

“Actually, I am from Chang’an.”

“…You came from far away. But I’m sorry, Teacher Su-kyung is out of town for a while…”

“And the person I came to meet was Teacher Su-kyung, but you actually came to meet Geum Taeyang.”

“Yes? Me?”

“That’s right. I was recommended you to you by a man in the market.”

Mr. Moonhu asked while fiddling with the tea.

“By any chance, do you know Taoist Hwang Seung-eon?”

“…This is my adoptive father.”

When on earth are you in the market?

No, why are you in the market again?

“I see. He made a recommendation. He said that you… are amazing at finding raw fish.”

“…….”

Something.

A chill began to rise up my spine.

“Could you please listen to my story and find a way for me to live?”

“…If that’s the case.”

I took the sword from Mr. Munhu.

“It’s my specialty.”
