Chapter 631

Episode 631 A story in the reign (6)In another sense, it was the same as a lightning strike.

Namgungdan, who was looking at Seoryang with a shocked face, soon sighed.

“Cult leader.”

“Let’s have a drink and talk first.”

“…I understand.”

Namgungdan sat across from Seoryang.

The Namgung siblings knelt behind Namgung Dan. They thought it was a position they should not take part in.

Seo-ryang did not tell the two people to sit comfortably or to come and have a drink together. This was a position that required appropriate weight.

Seo-ryang said as he filled Namgungdan’s cup.

“You must have been very surprised by the sudden remark.”

“I was very surprised.”

“But my thoughts have not changed. I want Namgung to become the queen of Anhui.”

Namgung Dan’s eyes deepened.

“How on earth can you give me such a big burden?”

“It’s a burden…”

Seoyang smiled bitterly and raised his glass.

“Let’s have a drink.”

Jjiing!

The two people who made a toast emptied their glasses.

Xu Liang said calmly.

“That’s right. It’s definitely a burden. Anhui Province is large. Being the king of Anhui is no different from saying you’re ruling a country called Anhui Province, so it’s safe to say it’s definitely a burden.”

Govern the country.

It was an unbelievable honor, but at the same time, it was an extremely burdensome task.

“But please know this: I am not entrusting Anhui Castle to you because of my close relationship with the head of the family.”

“Of course, I know that. Lord Seo is a man with a firm grasp of public affairs. I know that he is not the kind of person who would place someone with no ability in a high position just because of personal acquaintance.”

“I’m glad you know.”

“That’s why I don’t understand it any more. I think he has the ability to lead a family, but he lacks the ability to rule all of Anhui.”

“There is nonsense in that statement.”

“What do you mean?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Isn’t this what you have been doing for a while? Ruling Anhui.”

Namgoong Dan’s face hardened.

“You’re joking too much. Nangong has never ruled Anhui.”

“Do not attach too much meaning to the word ‘ruling.’ The ruling that I spoke of is no different from protecting Anhui.”

“…?”

“After the Uicheon Maeng fell into the hands of Dam Sa-yeong, many regions in the central plains suffered. As a result of the general military investigation, the power of the martial arts faction became stronger, while the lives of the common people became three times more impoverished.”

“….”

“But that was not the case in Anhui. I would have been less surprised if the satisfaction of the civilians had been higher than in other regions. Even after Dam Sa-yeong took control of Uicheonmaeng, the lives of the civilians living in Anhui did not change at all compared to before. There was no one.”

Namgung Dan’s eyes deepened.

Xu Liang filled his cup.

“Do you understand? The reason it was possible was because the Namgung family was holding on to Anhui. The Namgung family could not stop the rotting power of the Uicheon Alliance, but at least they definitely protected the lives of the common people living in Anhui.”

“That…”

“That alone qualifies Namgung. As you know, there are many talented people in our school. However, the reason we are leaving all those people aside and leaving Anhui to go home is because we have seen the results that Namgung has achieved so far. It’s because.”

“Huh.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“Times have changed. Although the world is quickly entering a state of stability, it is still very chaotic. As you know, even if future generations evaluate our generation as a time of peace, local chaos will erupt at any time.”

“….”

“Not just for Nangong. Use your strength for Anhui.”

Namgung Dan’s eyes wavered.

He did not know that Seo-ryang was speaking with sincerity. However, if you talk about such an important matter as if you are going to have a drink tonight, who would be willing to nod their head?

Xu Liang continued.

“Actually, there is another meaning to the reason why I want to entrust Anhui to Namgung.”

“…What do you mean?”

“As you know, our school is a spark of hope for the common people south of the Yangtze River. Our school has released an astronomical amount of money to the entire south of the Yangtze River through the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce, and that is currently in progress. It may not have improved the lives of all the grassroots, but at least the quality of life is better than before. “I can be proud that we have raised it several times higher.”

“I know that too.”

“The same goes for the area north of the Yangtze River. Unlike in the past, the common people living there also view our school quite favorably. It cannot help but be like that. You may have heard rumors that the lives of the common people in Gangnam have become better, and the imperial palace also recognized our school, and public opinion in Haomun also supported it. Because I’m touching it well.”

“Then even more so….”

“But it’s not just the grassroots who live in the central plains, right?”

“…?”

“Murimin.”

“…!”

“Murim people are much more conservative than the common people. Do you know why? It’s because they have always divided sides and fought to survive. In the first place, their way of life is different from the common people.”

“What does the cult leader say?”

“exactly.”

Xu Liang raised his glass.

“Arranging our school’s talented people to various places to control the world? It’s meaningless. The nine factions and the five major factions have collapsed, but the outlaws who are still buried in the illusion of justice and seek to gain vested rights will turn on their eyes and sharpen their swords. .”

“…!”

“Think about it. I don’t think we’ll be the victims of a revolt by those bastards, but who will actually suffer from their dissatisfaction?”

“…They must be the grassroots.”

“Shingyo is the pinnacle of the world. However, Shinkyo, I only reign over the world and do not rule and govern.”

Xu Liang emptied his glass.

“Anyone with outstanding ability has a duty to sacrifice his or her life for the world. It is much more reasonable to place a capable person from the martial arts faction on the throne than to appoint a person of worthless rank just because he or she belongs to the martial arts martial arts faction.”

“At the same time, you are saying that you can eliminate the cause of the dissatisfied martial arts people?”

“For those who have truly turned their eyes off, the justification is nothing more than an excuse. But the problem is that there are too many of them. If we can reduce the work of those many fools, then it alone means a lot for the magic and political factions to rule the world together. ”

Xu Liang’s face became serious.

“I believe you understand what I mean.”

“…I understand.”

“If you understand, please take care of Anhui.”

Namgungdan could not readily answer.

When asked to lend a hand for the world, there was no reason to refuse.

However, it was difficult to nod my head and say yes right away. This is because governing an area is usually not a difficult task.

If it had simply been a difficult task, he would have been embarrassed but would have accepted it positively.

There was another reason why Namgungdan felt confused by Seoliang’s proposal.

“Cult leader.”

“Please speak.”

“Tell me honestly.”

“Of course.”

Namgoong Dan’s eyes lit up.

“Are you planning to erase the martial arts world?”

The Namgung siblings, who were listening to the two people behind the scenes, were surprised.

Xu Liang smiled.

He didn’t waste time talking nonsense.

“exactly.”

“…!!”

“I plan to make sure it goes exactly that way.”

Namgung Dan’s eyes wavered.

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“You are truly amazing. It would not be easy for anyone to infer that from asking for Anhui. Look, doesn’t the head of the family have a world-class eye?”

Namgung Dan sighed.

“Get rid of the martial arts… huh.”

“The empire will be revived. The existence of the martial arts people in the new empire is too dangerous. As the head of the family knows, when the imperial laws begin to overtake the world, the martial people become true outlaws.”

“…!”

“But too extreme a change is bound to cause bloodshed. It takes some time to eradicate the martial arts while minimizing damage.”

“What on earth are you trying to do?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“You will find out little by little. Just know this one thing.”

“…?”

“I don’t want any more trouble. Even though fighting is human nature, I don’t want people to be harmed innocently because of that nature.”

“….”

“If I can’t satisfy everyone, I want to be on the side of the weak as much as possible.”

“Not all weak people are good people.”

“Not all strong people are bad people. I know how to make that distinction.”

Namgung Dan sighed again.

“Seo sect leader.”

“Please speak.”

“Leaving it to a faction other than us…”

“I don’t plan to leave any room for that.”

“….”

“Also, the head of the family may be a little disappointed, but… if another organization takes over Anhui, Nangong will have to leave Anhui.”

“…!”

The faces of the Namgung siblings hardened.

Namgungryong opened his mouth without realizing it, but paused for a moment. This is because Namgung-hwa raised his hand to stop him.

‘sister!’

‘It’s not our place to step forward. ‘Stay still.’

‘but…!’

‘wait. ‘Because the answer is fixed.’

‘yes?’

Namgunghwa looked at Seoliang with deep eyes.

Seo-ryang was still smiling knowingly. It seemed like a smile that seemed to understand the other person, but at the same time, it seemed to be filled with bitterness.

Namgunghwa’s eyes deepened.

‘Even for demons who compete for supremacy, ruling the world is a difficult task.’

After a while, Namgung Dan opened his mouth.

“As expected…”

“Hmm?”

“You did too much, Master Seo.”

“What do you mean?”

Namgungdan laughed weakly.

“You don’t have to be so cold-hearted. I think you knew it would go the way you wanted anyway.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I just try to make sure things go in the direction I want.”

“I and Nangong cannot leave Anhui.”

“I know.”

“Then we have no choice.”

“I’m sorry, but that’s right.”

“And…”

Namgoong Dan closed his eyes.

“Even if you don’t say so, I will definitely follow the leader’s words someday.”

Namgungryong looked at Namgungdan with surprised eyes. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“father?!”

Xu Liang nodded.

“Of course you should.”

“It’s embarrassing.”

“I don’t know why I should be embarrassed by that. Humility is called a virtue only when it is exercised when necessary. Excessive humility makes everyone tired.”

“It makes everyone tired… That’s right.”

Seo-ryang picked up the bottle and tried to fill his own glass.

At that time, Namgung-dan snatched the bottle from his hand.

“I’ll give you a drink.”

“Thank you.”

Seo-ryang’s cup was slowly filled.

The cup was filling up . Namgungdan said while looking at him.

“Who else is there?”

“Hmm?”

“Who else do you plan to ask besides Namgung?”

Seoliang smiled.

“Can you help me?”

“Actually, the sect leader made a sacred item for the main family. At that point, our relationship was already complete. I just realized that.”

“Hahaha.”

“For the world… That’s good. I will truly, selflessly, stabilize Anhui before the world.”

“Thank you. You have made a big decision.”

“Who else do you need before that?”

“Shaolin leader.”

Seoliang’s eyes lit up.

“And the shaman’s “They are mountain people.”
