Episode 465 Choice of the Era (5)Seo-ryang blinked.
âAm I looking at something wrong now?â
âI donât think so.â
âI guess thatâs right? How can it be real that the general military of our school is carrying on its back the greatest saint, Master Jeoksong, a political faction known as the enemy of enemies? âIsnât this an illusion?â
âNo.â
âCould it be reverse magic? âArenât you a total soldier?â
âNo, really.â
Seo-ryang burst out laughing.
Red Pine said as if he was embarrassed.
âThey told me to get on my back.â
Hu Yao-seong grinned.
âThanks to you, we talked a lot.â
âAll soldiers, sleep less starting today.â
âUgh! What do you mean by that?!â
âLooking at you carrying that guy on your back, it looks like heâs not just full of stamina, but overflowing with energy. âSeeing that I still have that much stamina, I can do more work.â
With just a few jokes, Xi Liang, who had reduced Hu Yao Shengâs physical strength to its limit, removed a chair.
âPlease sit down.â
âHehe, thank you.â
Red Pine glanced at Huoyoseong.
Ho Yo-seong was sitting on the floor with his mouth wide open. The appearance was so strikingly similar to the tragic heroine from a Chinese opera that I couldnât help but laugh.
Xi Liang touched Hu Yaocheng with his foot.
âgo away. âYouâve done all your business.â
âI didnât see it all!â
âThen, have a cup of tea! âDonât act like a fool!â
Ho Yaoseong stood up grumbling.
âTrue, but I am the power over all people, so what on earth is thisâ¦â
âJust hit the head.â
âOh, Iâm going. âIâm going.â
Jeoksong, who was watching Ho Yo-seong running away, shook his head.
âI canât believe my eyes.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âIs this really a conversation between the religious leader and the general military?â
âSo itâs like a conversation between an idiot and a moron?â
âHehehe.â
Red Pine smiled broadly.
Mine is much more human than people think. He didnât know that either.
However, I had no idea that the relationship between the religious leader and the commander-in-chief would be so informal. What Hu Yaocheng said makes sense, no matter how informal it may be, one does not order a person in power, whether one person or all people, to come in a car.
âYou really seem to be different from your teacher in many ways.â
Xu Liang chuckled.
âIf I want to live like my teacher, I will die first. âNo one can imitate his life.â
âDo you think so?â
âof course. Wouldnât that be the same for me? No one can live like me. âEach person has their own way.â
Red Pine laughed.
âThe Protestants of the generation you rule will be able to live a truly pleasant life.â
âI wonder if itâs because peopleâs minds are hardened. âIâm taking it apart and fixing it one by one.â
âGood. âIt looks really good.â
Xu Liang shook his head.
âI know I didnât come here to share a private conversation. âLetâs get to the point now.â seaÊá´h thÑ novÑlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âYouâre doing too much to people who are dying.â
âI know Old Bae wants it.â
Red Pine smiled.
Is it because I am losing the power of the broken sky I had? His smile contained a sadness and kindness that I had never seen before. It also seemed like something was missing.
âI didnât mean to say anything special. I just opened my eyes and suddenly I wanted to see you. âI wanted to talk about things with you.â
âThose are truly disappointing words.â
âHuh, is that so?â
Xu Liang smiled.
âIâm kidding. âI am honored.â
After a while, Hu Yao-sheng came in the car.
Seo-ryang smelled the scent and put the tea cup down by the window.
Ho Yaoseong narrowed his eyes.
âWhy are you doing that?â
âThe scent is strange. âItâs better to eat it cold.â
âprofit!â
âDoes your fist feel strong? Now itâs just the same, right? huh?â
âBecause my palms are itchy. âItâs easy to scratch because you donât have to cut your nails.â
Ho Yaoseong raised his hand as if showing off.
âLook, with such long fingernailsâ¦.â
âItâs dirty. âPut it away.â
âI donât have enough time to sleep, so I canât even cut my nails on time.â
âCut your nails before going to bed. âItâs an order.â
ââ¦yes.â
I took a sip of red pine tea.
Ho Yo-seong spoke as if he had been waiting.
âYou woke up for the first time in five days, but I thought it would be bad for your body to be too hot. âI said to make it moderately lukewarm. What do you think?â
âVery good. âThank you.â
âHaha, as expected, what does Noh Seon-bae know?â
A friendly atmosphere continued.
Jeoksong looked at Xiliang and Haoyoseong with slightly blurred eyes.
The two people were complaining to each other, wondering what they were so dissatisfied with. But it wasnât sincere. The atmosphere of the two peopleâs clear eyes and smiles on their lips proved this.
âItâs a good military-subject relationship.â
It may have seemed overly informal, but this relationship seemed to be helpful to both of them.
âA military subject who feels comfortable like a friend. Itâs easy to say, but difficult to actually do. Probably, when these two people decide to do something, they will be able to get things done faster than any other organization.â
Also, Red Pine knew. The usual conversation between the two would not be this bright and light.
âAre you giving it for me?â
Yes. The reason why Seo-ryang and Ho Yo-seong were having this pleasant conversation over and over again was to show Jeoksong.
The purpose was to ease his mind in a bright and friendly atmosphere rather than a rigid and formal atmosphere.
Red Pine was greatly grateful for the consideration that was not considerate.
âAnyway, how is your friend?â
Before Red Pine could open his mouth, Ho Yaoseong answered.
âThey say he will come to his senses by tomorrow at the earliest, tonight at the latest.â
Xu Liang nodded.
âYou really are amazing.â
Although they are said to possess divine strength, the two of them are hundreds of years old. Although strong Qi supports the body, it is difficult to recover if injured to that extent. Especially if you donât even have the strength to pull it up.
âI donât know much about you two, but I do know that you are not afraid of death.â
âHehehe, I have lived long past the time of death, so I should not be afraid of death.â
âHave you already woken up because you still have regrets? âI know you donât just want to talk to me.â
It was a statement that could easily be considered rude to the other person.
But as expected, Red Pine was not hurt by those words.
âI had a light chat with Mr. Ho on the way here.â
âwhich?â
âYou probably know that the Anti-Jeonghoe has collapsed.â
âThereâs no way you wouldnât know.â
âBut you probably donât know this. âThat Hyuncheon and I were excommunicated.â
Seo-ryangâs eyes widened.
âstir?!â
âThatâs right.â
Being excommunicated from oneâs clan is no different from the meaning of being excommunicated from the family register. In the case of red pine, this can be seen as meaning that it has been erased from the Shaolin Templeâs list of monks.
This was not normal. For warriors living in this era, excommunication was an act no different from taking oneâs life. No, rather than taking his own life, it was a virtue to refuse even the excommunication to the end.
But I was excommunicated. Also, red pine and hyeoncheon.
Who are these two people? As the strongest warriors of the political faction, they were invincible warriors called Gwonsin (æ³ç¥) and Geomshin (åç¥) respectively.
What on earth does this mean that the top leaders of the political faction who built the stronghold of the True Military God were excommunicated?
âIt was exactly the excommunication we requested.â
âWhy did you do that?â
âItâs because there was pressure from the imperial palace.â
Seo-ryangâs eyes sparkled.
âI know that the Anti-Jeonghoe was disbanded due to external pressure from the imperial palace.â
âI heard it from Soldier Ho. âI already guessed it.â
Red Pine sighed.
âThe imperial palace did not simply ask us to disband the Anti-Jeonghoe. To be precise, an order was given to transfer the anti-Jeonghoe warriors to the imperial palace army.â
ââ¦!â
âIn other words, it means that we will take control of Shaolin and Shaman, as well as all the sects that follow him, from the imperial palace.â
âA military belonging to the imperial palace?â
âThatâs right.â
Wherever the bright atmosphere from a moment ago had gone, a dark look appeared on Red Pineâs face.
âThe news may not have been heard all the way to the southernmost part of the central plains. âBecause it was so secret.â
âEven so, it is certainly strange that the anti-government group was disbanded so quickly. âHave you ever been threatened by them?â
There was surprise on Red Pineâs face.
âWere you guessing?â
âWhat is there to do in guessing and sleeping? Shaolin and Shaman were factions that fought not by force, but by agreement and cause. âOnly the imperial palace can disband the Anti-Jeonghoe led by such a sect, but no matter how I thought about it, I thought it was too soon.â
Xi Liang drank the cold tea.
âBut unfortunately, the Anti-Jeonghoe was disbanded at this time⦠Even the imperial palace would not be able to make such an attempt if there was no force to support it. If we are counterattacked by the Banjeonghoe, even the few remaining cornerstones of the imperial palace will be blown away.â
âWeâ¦â
âIt doesnât matter what the Anti-Semitism Councilâs intentions are, it just means that the imperial palace will think that way.â
ââ¦.â
âIn other words, it is clear that the imperial palace is already building up as much power as anyone else. âIt must have been reassuring that Dam Sa-yeong and Song Sang-baek joined hands with the imperial palace.â
Xiliangâs eyes lit up.
âIsnât that why you requested excommunication?â
ââ¦Thatâs right.â
Red Pine smiled bitterly.
âYour insight is truly deep. Thatâs right. We also realized that the former Lord and the Iron Blood Lord were secretly working behind the imperial palace. So I couldnât grant the imperial palaceâs request. âIn the end, our strength will become their strength.â
âI understand.â
âBut there was no justification for continuing to hold on. Become the central point of political faction? In fact, from the imperial palaceâs point of view, that is nonsense.â
âI guess so. âAfter all, we are all subjects of the same empire.â
âIn the past, the imperial palace did not care about martial arts. It is correct to say that I did not do it accurately. âNo matter how much the imperial palace was, it couldnât have the martial arts as its enemy.â
âexactly.â
âBut it is different now that the martial arts people representing the political faction and the four factions, Dam Sa-yeong and Song Seong-baek, have entered into a military agreement with the imperial palace. The imperial palace said this. âIf we do not dismantle the Anti-Jeonghoe, we will declare to the world that we are rebels.â
Pusss.
All the tea in the teacup that Seo-ryang was holding vaporized.
âHeâs also a traitorâ¦â
âThatâs right. How scary is traitor? The shame we will endure before death is terrifying. Even if we are criticized, it is right for us to do our best in our position, but since we came out of the imperial palace like that, we had no choice.â
âI see.â
âBut there was a bigger problem. âIt is just the disbanding of the anti-communist society and its transformation into a yellow army.â
âThen excommunication?â
Red Pine nodded.
âThey announced that it was the two of us who organized the anti-Jeonghoe meeting. I donât know what the two people in charge can do, but isnât our reputation above average? Shaolin and Shaman, who suffered from the stigma of being a sect that brought sinners to the world, entered into a ten-year prison sentence.â
âThat prevented the anti-Jeonghoe from entering the imperial army.â
âThatâs right.â
The clans excommunicated the two adults who had a tremendous influence on the Gangho and entered the Bongmun themselves.
The twin gods who chose to be excommunicated or the Shaolin and the shaman who kicked out the chief priest would have shed bloody tears.
âIn other words, the political faction now has no means of stopping the imperial palace.â
âThatâs why I came to see you.â
Red Pine took a deep breath and said.
âWonât you take advantage of our little reputation?â
