Episode 466. Choice of the Era (6)Seoliangâs eyes deepened.
âThis is what happens in the end.â
The moment he went to save Zheng Wussangxin, Hu Yaocheng had already come up with a plan to deal with him. In the first place, Hu Yaosheng had no intention of even asking about the intentions of these two.
However, by asking in this way first, I was able to ease the burden on my mind. No matter how indifferent Seoriang was, the value of Ssangshinâs name could not be ignored.
In that respect, Hu Yao-seong was a truly radical soldier. In a way, he was more reckless than Seoryang.
Seo-ryang pretended not to notice and continued the conversation.
âAre you saying we should use your reputation to deal with them?â
âThatâs right.â
âYou probably donât know what that means, do you?â
âOf course. âIt means that you and I, as well as the two of us, will become traitors.â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âDonât worry about that. âBecause we are already traitors.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âThis does not apply to monks who worship gods and Buddha, but religious organizations like our church that worship their religious leaders as gods are nothing more than a thorn in the imperial palaceâs eyes.â
Red Pineâs eyes wavered.
Is it because the existence of the imperial palace has been forgotten for a long time? When I thought about it, I could definitely see it that way.
âIn other words, we have been targeting them since the Imperial Palace was born. âMilitary Ho has been preparing all kinds of plans to deal with the imperial palace for half a year now.â
Red Pine looked at Hu Yaosheng in surprise.
Hu Yaosheng shrugged his shoulders.
âYou canât just die, right? Even if I leave our school, I doubt they will believe me.â
âLook at me talking.â
âIâm just saying that.â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âBack to the topic, using your two reputations probably means keeping the imperial palace in check.â
âYouâre wrong.â
ââ¦Eh? âThen what?â
âI hoped it would help expose the true faces of the two people who were secretly operating behind the imperial palace: Lord Dam and Lord Song.â
Seo-ryang burst into laughter.
âYou realize that this is a ridiculous request, right?â
âI know.â
âI canât just pick on those obnoxious bastards and step on them, just because of the reputation of the two of you.â
âI know that too.â
âBut what is your purpose in saying such things? âAre you saying we should die together?â
âActuallyâ¦â
Red Pine sighed.
My lips were slowly turning blue, perhaps because I was losing stamina.
âActually, I donât know. Deep down, I wanted more than that, but no matter how much I think about itâ¦â
âItâs not too much. âIt is not an exaggerated thought at the time when Shaolin and Shaman have already chosen Bonmun.â
âBut then you really become a traitor.â
âAre there even fake traitors in this world? âWe are already traitors in their eyes.â
ââ¦.â
âThey were the ones who put us in a corner first. A fight is bound to happen. Then, there are two options. âYou can either become a traitor and fight them, or you can crawl under their crotches and live like an asshole.â
ââ¦.â
âChoose just one. âIt doesnât seem like a good thing that a nobleman who gave up on becoming a Buddha and had blood on his hands is only now thinking about such things.â
âThere was no blood on it.â
âhuh?â
Red Pine said bitterly.
âI havenât committed murder even once since I came here.â
Xiliang was astonished.
âRight now, my life is in danger, so you ruled out killing me? âAre you out of your mind?â
âWhat can I do? I guess Iâm that kind of person. I saw fear and awe in the eyes of my enemies who came to kill me. They were trembling in fear every moment, fearing they would fall into my hands. âWhen I saw those eyes, I couldnât help but think.â
Whatever it is, he is truly a man I have no choice but to admit. There are very few people who can keep their beliefs and nature in critical situations where they could die.
If Seoryang had been in charge before running Shingyo, he would have ridiculed Jeoksong for being extremely indecisive.
However, todayâs Xiliang could not laugh at Red Pine.
ââ¦Master.â
The appearance of the red pine reminded me of Lee Cheon-sang.
The greatest giant in the history of magic who ran tirelessly until the moment of death solely for his beliefs.
Although they had different beliefs, different natures, and different desires, Jeok Pine and Lee Cheon-sang were very similar in some ways. And Seoliang could not laugh at someone who lived with such beliefs.
âWhoa.â
Xiliang sighed.
âI find senior Nohâs actions frustrating, but at the same time, I respect his judgment.â
âThank you.â
âItâs a long story. Just go in and get some rest. âLetâs continue our discussion tomorrow.â
âLet it be so. âEven if I donât, Iâm getting increasingly short of breath.â
Hu Yao-seong stood up and supported Red Pine.
Seo-ryang said as he turned to see him walking away.
âSenior Noh.â
Red Pine looked back.
Xu Liang smiled.
âRest in peace.â
Red Pine smiled.
âThank you.â
So, Hoyo-seong and Jeoksong left for Daejeon.
After Lee Gak.
Ho Yo-seong returned to Daejeon.
âwhat? Do you drink alcohol?â
âJust because itâs quiet.â
âShall I have a drink too?â
âYou have to work, right?â
ââ¦.â
âOkay, have a drink.â
âGiggles.â
âDonât laugh like that. âYou seem like a superior.â
âNow what are you saying about me just smiling?â
âJust cut off the head.â
âOh, I understand.â
Ho Yo-seong, who received the glass, quickly poured the drink into his mouth.
âKya! How long has it been since you last drank this? âItâs just sweet.â
âYouâve worked hard so far. âLetâs suffer a little more.â
âJust a little more? It might become a lifelong dream. âYou have to dedicate your whole life and suffer.â
Xu Liang smiled.
âYou donât know how lucky I am that you are a general.â
Ho Yaoseong smiled and answered.
âthank you.â
It was a conversation that went back and forth between jokes and sincerity. So their conversation was very enjoyable to listen to.
âHow far has it progressed?â
âAlthough I am called the greatest genius in the Protestant Church. âSometimes it is difficult to keep up with the teacherâs words.â
âJeongmu Ssangshin.â
âah! Thatâs it. Of course, preparations are complete. Now all we have to do is find the timing.â
âI see.â
Seoyang leaned back in his chair. Naturally, the front flaps widened, creating a loose appearance.
There was a faintness in Hu Yaoshengâs eyes.
âYouâre like the leader of the former school.â
âok? what?â
âThis is what the leader looks like now. âItâs like meeting the former leader of the cult.â
Xu Liang smiled bitterly.
âHeâs a nasty guy. âIâm going to throw some luggage and go, but itâs too much to bear, damn it.â
âStill, it makes you happy to hear that you look alike, right?â
âIs there a reason to be bad? âHe is the best teacher in the history of this school.â
âha ha ha.â
Give, take, and empty the glass over and over again, Lee Gak.
Unlike Hu Yaoshengâs face, which was flushed, Xu Liangâs face was still the same color.
âTotal military.â
âYes, leader.â
âWhat we are trying to do now is to swallow up not only the political faction and the Sa faction, but also the imperial palace, right?â
âRather than swallowing it up, I would say itâs closer to just pushing it away. Well, thatâs it.â
âIf such a world really comes, how will the Jungwon martial arts community fare?â
âIt will be a world where treason and civil unrest never cease. So, we need to establish plans and systems to prevent it in advance.â
âTreason⦠treasonâ¦â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âThere are people up there who want to build an empire, but it looks like we are pushing up.â
âThis is the only way to achieve the world of magic that the leader wants. Of course, I also think thatâs the best way.â
âis it.â
âIâm serious.â
Hu Yaosheng smiled and raised his glass.
I confidently hold out my glass to the religious leader. He never showed this side of himself no matter how drunk he was.
âSo, shake off any hesitation in your heart and run with brilliance like a religious leader. âI will have your back.â
Seo-ryang smiled and raised his glass.
âYou need to support it properly. âOnce you start running, you wonât stop.â
âThatâs what I mean.â
âhaha!â
Jjaeng!
The glasses that the two men clinked together made a cheerful sound.
Seo-ryang said after refreshingly emptying his glass.
âSpeaking of which, letâs start putting in some firewood starting this evening, right?â
âI thought you would say that, so I left a message to the military department before coming.â
âHe is a famous soldier of the world. âHow can you know my lordâs heart so well?â
âSo, please look after me even if I do something stupid here and there. âIâm so tired these days that Iâm making more and more mistakes.â
Xu Liang laughed out loud.
âha ha ha!â
âhaha!â
âBut donât make a mistake.â
ââ¦yes.â
âWhere can I raise a toast?â
âI did it because I was drunk. Please move on.â
âThatâs it. âTake a glass, man.â
âlol.â
* * *
âHave you come to your senses?â
ââ¦Iâm thirsty.â
âItâs just well-boiled medicinal water. âTake your time and quench your thirst.â
Hyeon Cheon Jin-in frowned and drank the mineral water.
âhere isâ¦?â
âThey say the Blood Soul Pavilion is the best room in the Heavenly Demon Church.â
âItâs a private room. âIt wouldnât have been easy to care about it this much.â
âThatâs right. âWe already talked about various things during the day.â
âalready? âYour body probably wasnât mature either.â
âWhat can I do? âI ran and risked my life for that.â
Hyeon Cheon Jin-in did not ask how the conversation with Seo-ryang went.
I just asked one thing.
âHow was it?â
âIt got bigger.â
âIs it getting bigger?â
Red Pine looked at the window.
The night at Hundred Thousand Mountains was a little different from the night in the north. Although the weather was hot and muggy, the wind blowing through the mountains was quite cool. Inside the room, a dehumidifying cloth, which is especially effective for dehumidification, was placed in the room to dry it properly.
âPeople have grown bigger. Itâs different from when I saw it before. âI saw that not only martial arts skills but also people themselves have grown significantly.â
âHehe, when it comes to evaluating people, poor people give particularly generous scores. âIs it because itâs almost time to die?â
âThatâs right. âPerhaps, as you said, I am like this because it is almost time to die.â
âItâs just a joke. âIâm sorry if you hurt me.â
âWhat are the wounds? âI just think this.â
âWhat are you thinking?â
âThe gap between the first time I saw Mr. Seo and the second time was significant. At that time, it seemed rather dangerous. It seemed like it was going to collapse at any moment. âIt is only natural that he suddenly took on the position of leader after his teacher died.â
ââ¦.â SÑará´h the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âI only found out after meeting you today. âThe leader of the Seo is trying to walk the path of a king, not a demon god.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThatâs right. âHe is not trying to reign as the fear of the martial arts in the central plains, but is trying to become a king with absolute power and no rival in the world.â
Xuan Tianjinâs face hardened.
âIsnât that⦠in a way more serious?â
âThatâs right. But hereâs the thing.â
A comfortable smile appeared on Red Pineâs face.
The image of Seoliang appeared in his mind.
â Rest in peace.
The sight of someone spitting out a word with a little hesitation.
Jeoksong felt sadness, not regret, when he saw Seo-ryang like that. Even though our relationship was short-lived, I still felt great sadness at the fact that Taengjung, whom I had only met a few times, was dying.
âStill, Master Seo did not let go of his human nature. When I saw the conversation with the general, it was so informal that I wondered if it was okay to do this. But within it, its own laws and regulations were alive and breathing.â
âHmmâ¦â
âHe is a king with laws and regulations⦠If he is that kind of person, wouldnât it be okay to leave the world to him for a generation?â
Red Pine closed his eyes.
âIf the times chose him, wouldnât it be a bad thing to be swept away by the flow of fate?â
