Song Yun was very curious about why those important figures always spoke in such profound and inscrutable ways, their words so vague and ambiguous that you could never grasp their true meaning.
This behavior was exactly like that of a military strategist in the Lu Kingdom. When the king of that time asked him whether they should send troops to attack a certain country, the strategist merely replied with a single word: "Perhaps." The king went back and, turning it over in his mind, couldn't understand what that "Perhaps" meant. As a result, his health deteriorated more and more until just before his death, he summoned the strategist and repeated his interpretation of that "Perhaps," asking if that's what he had meant. The strategist responded again with "Perhaps," and the king immediately breathed his last.
Song Yun concluded that this strategist must have been a spy sent by another country and that the king of Lu had probably been angered to death by him.
