Episode 149. Abandon the name of King Salsuji (3)
Neither the pouring rain nor the sound of the wind blowing through the pillars of the pavilion were clearer than Xu Liang’s voice.
“Let’s do it together?”
“That’s right.”
“hmm.”
Zhongli Mountain showed no signs of surprise. He was just filling his own cup.
Seo Liang asked as if he was surprised.
“Did you guess?”
“Would you like a drink?”
It didn’t answer the question. Xi Liang nodded and held out his cup.
Pouring a drink, Jongrisan said.
“Before meeting the Three Gongs again, I thought.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why do you want to go back to Jeoksaga after the inspection? Take me too.”
“… … .”
“If you want to go, it wouldn’t matter if you went right away, so why bother stopping by after the Chilga’s inspection is over?”
Zhongli Mountain didn’t just fill the cup of Seo Liang. He also slowly filled Ma Dong-pil’s glass.
“As a special inspector of the Protestant Church, he may have received another secret order from the religious leader. But I thought it couldn’t be.”
“Why did you think that?”
“Because I didn’t feel obligated.”
“A sense of duty?”
“exactly. A sense of duty.”
widely.
Jongrisan, who put the bottle down, raised his glass.
“It was a desire, not a sense of duty. A strong desire bloomed in the eyes of the Three Gongja. Not for anyone else, but only for oneself.”
“… … .”
“That desire could be seen as a sense of purpose in other words.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“Are my eyes that poisonous?”
“exactly.”
Jongrisan with an empty glass. This time, Ma Dong-pil poured a drink into his glass.
Looking down at the slowly filling glass, Jongrisan opened his mouth.
“Are you trying to erase the enemy history? nonsense. Even if that was possible, it should have been pushed away during the inspection.
It means I didn’t have to come back the hard way.”
“You guessed it from there.”
“I couldn’t guess.”
Zhonglishan glanced at Xu Liang’s shoulder.
“Until I saw the inspector’s epaulet detached from the shoulders of the Three Princes.”
“… … .”
“The Three Gongs I met again were not inspectors. He was thoroughly individual.”
“It was.”
“A candidate for religious leader visits the Mado Chilga, who has nothing to do with it? A family that completely turned it upside down with a single inspection?”
Jongrisan emptied his glass again.
“It’s not the headmaster’s secret order, nor is it to push away the enemy. Nevertheless, I went to Jeoksaga with me and the troops of Geogyeongga.”
“… … .”
“The fact that I went with my family’s troops was a trick to pressure the opponent. As for me, I couldn’t find any reason other than ‘appeasement’ and ‘training’.”
Said Xi Liang as he refilled his glass.
“You feel good.”
Seoryang filled Jongrisan’s glass and emptied his own.
he took a bottle But he didn’t fill the glass right away.
“So have you made up your mind?”
Like you said, don’t talk too long.
It’s surprising that Jong-ri-san guessed, but that’s it.
What mattered to him was not how he guessed whether or not the other party accepted his proposal, or how he felt.
Jongrisan opened his mouth.
“I will ask you two questions.”
“As much as you like.”
“What would you do if you refused the offer of the Three Princes?”
“What are you thinking?”
“The one who receives the offer has the choice of accepting or rejecting it.
But the consequences of my choices are also something I have to deal with. If I refuse, I wonder what will happen to the Three Gongja.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“Usually, they ask for compensation after acceptance, but the family head seems to be curious about the outcome of the option of refusal.”
“It has to be.”
Zhongli Mountain’s eyes deepened.
“I am a person who witnessed the power of the Samgongja firsthand. I know how terrible he can be when the Three Princes become hostile to someone.”
“… … .”
“That is why I am asking.”

“Nothing.”
“… … ?”
“You have one question, but I will give you two answers.”
Seo Liang put down the bottle. He still hasn’t filled his cup.
“If the head of the family accepts my offer, I will ask for a lot from the head of the family.
The head of the household can ask for many things from me if he needs them. But the relationship is never master-servant.”
“A relationship that uses each other as needed?”
“To put it bluntly, yes.”
Zhonglishan nodded.
“What if I refuse?”
“That’s it. After taking a good rest at the Yeonju branch, you can go on your own.”
“… … Hello, is that the end?”
“If I did, did you know how to do it even if I harm the family head?”
“exactly.”
Seo Liang pouted.
“You are too adamant.”
“The Three Gongs I saw are not people who gossip behind the scenes. If that’s the case, I’d prefer to meet and break it in person.”
“That’s right.”
“There is no middle ground in a power war. enemy or ally From the moment I rejected the offer of the Three Gongja, I… … .”
“You’re still the great gyeonggalord.”
“… … ?”
“Even if you refuse, the head of the family is the head of the family. They are not my enemies.”
“Why do you think so? What will I do when the moment comes when I have to train with someone else to attack the Three Gongs?”
“Then you can face the enemy then.”
Zhongli’s eyebrows furrowed.
“If that is true, you will not be evaluated as very wise, although you will hear that you have a refreshing personality. At least here, in Madou Murim.”
“It’s rather the opposite.”
“What do you mean?”
A look of seriousness appeared on the sage’s face.
“When it comes to attacking the Heavenly Alliance and the Sangvis Castle, the strength of the Seven Magicians is indispensable.
But I hit one of them with my hand? You may hear that it is cool, but you will not hear that it is wise.”
“… … !”
Jong-ri-san showed a surprised expression.
“Attacking the Iron Blooded Castle with the Uicheon League?”
“Are there any problems?”
“Those two groups… … Are you thinking of starting a war?”
“well. I didn’t even think of war, but I’m willing to do more than that if I can get rid of them.”
Jongrisan, who had been staring blankly at Seoryang, turned his gaze to Dongpil Ma. Ma Dong-pil still had a calm face.
“Did you know?”
“of course.”
It was a question of whether it was natural.
You may have heard of it beforehand because it is an escort warrior with a sticky bond. But Jongrisan couldn’t understand.
“Before you are the escort of the Three Gongs, you are a demon of the Shinto religion. Such a big issue… … .”
“You misunderstood.”
“what?”
“Before I am the demon of Shintoism, I am the Sam Gongja-nim’s bodyguard.”
“… … !”
“No matter what kind of steps Confucius takes in the future, I will always be by his side to protect him.
That’s my job. Whatever Confucius thinks, I just believe in it and follow it.”
Jong-ri-san burst out laughing. Ma Dong-pil’s voice, speaking calmly, did not waver at all.
‘Attacking the Iron Blooded Castle with the Uicheon League?’
how the hell
These three groups, Maengseonggyo (盟城敎), are the super-giant forces of Murim, called the Gangho Three Worlds. If only one of them collapses, Gangho will be in chaos.
That was the reason why the three groups had not yet been able to wage an all-out war.
Even if any two groups wage war and win or lose, it is certain that more than half of the troops of the victorious side will be blown away.
Then it’s over. The last group standing there will attack the weaker side and tear it down at once.
In that case, only one force remains in the three generations of Kang Ho. Even if it is impossible until the river and lake are united, we will become the best force in the world and dominate the river.
“Are you anxious?”
Surprised, Zhongli Mountain looked at Xi Liang.
Laughter-like eyes of Seo-ryang. There was a subtle coolness in those eyes.
“Since you reacted like that, I also have a question.”
“… … .”
“What is the family head’s dream? What is your goal?”
“… … ?!”
“Is it to expand the family line and become the head of seven magical families? Would you like to end your life comfortably while maintaining your current power?”
“… … !!”
“If Protestantism wants to wage a war, do you intend to shout out that you won’t do it and then go into hiding?”
Jongrisan gritted his teeth.
“That was not the point. If a war ever breaks out, the main family will stand at the forefront and annihilate the enemies. But if you forcefully start a war… … .”
“There is no middle ground in a faction war.”
“… … .”
“That’s what the head of the household said a while ago.”
There was seriousness in Xu Liang’s eyes before he knew it.
“great. No puns. Even if the head of the family rejects my proposal, I will not harm the family of the giants.
The reason is, it is because the geogyeongga is a necessary force.”
“… … .”
“If you accept, you will go through immeasurable adversity with me. If you refuse, you can rest in peace and die.”
“… … .”
“The answer to your question is this. Are you satisfied?”
Zhongli Mountain was speechless.
Seo Liang nodded.
“I know you understand. It seems to have eased the burden as well. If so, we will wait for the next question.”
“… … .”
“How can you not say anything? Didn’t you say you had two questions?”
“… … You have already answered.”
“Eh?”
“Another question, the answer to that question was given by the Three Gongja.”
“What was the question?”
“target.”
“… … Ohh.”
Jongrisan touched the glass.
“Whether accepting or rejecting, I felt the need to get to know who the other person was.
Of course, I thought you should also know what the other person wants in the end.”
“So, did you like the answer?”
Zhongli Mountain was silent again.
After touching the glass several times, he opened his mouth again after half an hour had passed.
“I think the Three Gongja will have to walk a pretty rough road to achieve that goal.”
“of course. I’m already getting cramps in my head.”
“And he should be the heir too.”
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
Zhonglishan met Xi Liang’s eyes directly.
“You will have to shed a lot of blood to become the heir.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it?”
“I don’t think you have to be the successor. However, many things will become easier when you become the successor.”
“You mean you will eventually become the heir.”
“That’s right.”
“To put it all together, the three gongs are now asking the father of the six gongs to be on their side.”
“At the same time, you are receiving a training offer from one of the most propelled and even quite strong talents among the successor candidates.”
Seo Liang playfully rolled her eyes.
“Besides, he’s also quite likable.”
Zhonglishan smiled.
“If the opponent was of the opposite s*x, it would not have been an easy factor to ignore.”
“So what is the answer?”
Jongrisan emptied his drink.
“Follow me.”
“I am.”
Squeeze.
A cup that fills slowly.
Jong-ri-san said before the cup was completely filled.
“My son is not a religious leader. I think it will be difficult to beat the Grand Duke or the Lee Gongja before the Three Gongja.”
“Is that so?”
“exactly.”
A full cup.
Jongrisan held out his cup and spoke calmly.
“If my son’s bloodstains are on the stepping stone to become the heir, I will kill you at any cost.”
There was a fearsome life in his calm voice.
She held out her cup with a serious face.
“Absolutely nothing like that will ever happen.”
Jjaeng!
The two toasted and emptied their glasses.
After emptying his glass, Jongrisan stood up and bowed politely.
“Shin (臣) Geogyeonggaju Jongrisan, from this hour on, I will serve Confucius as my lord.”
The West didn’t happen. It’s because I realized that saying hello to someone who’s hard to deal with is rather degrading the other person.
he said calmly.
“I wish you well in the future.”
