Episode 208. win the odds (3)
Seriously, this guy is an interesting guy.
‘You’ve been confessing to treason, and you’d rather save him?’
Now, Xi Liang has the absolute upper hand in relation to Guan Ping. Even if Guanping changes his mind and cries out that the confession is false, the confession he has already written will not go anywhere.
It is enough to just punish Gwanpyeong for treason. For Xi Liang, the public opinion following him has that much power.
Are you still trying to keep your promise?
“Do you know about the battle between the princes?”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes softened.
“When one of the princes ascends to the throne of the emperor, all the other brothers are killed. Furthermore, the subordinates who followed them also slaughter all of them. Do you know why?”
“It is to escape the danger of treason.”
“Accurate. That’s what power is. Those in power are always nervous about the threats of traitors, and those who want to gain power worry about when to draw their swords and bring down those in power. Just to get the power in my hands.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Even so, you say you will spare the orthodox death penalty. Even if younger siblings under you could do that, why would you want to save the second one who fought so fiercely?”
“Because I promised.”
“Is that promise really that great?”
“That’s right.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Promises are important. Basic. Whoever the target is, how can a guy who can’t take responsibility for his words talk about big things?”
“It’s a pretty plausible statement, but to me, who’s seen you, you seem like a guy who can always keep promises.”
Seo Liang smiled shyly.
“I cannot say no. Promises are important, but the priority is always to make my situation better. In most cases, however, they fail to take control of the situation.”
It was a satisfactory answer. To the human two heavens, and also to the heavenly devil’s religious leader, two heavens.
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
“But this time the case is different.”
“Explain.”
“It’s because I’m not weak enough to not be able to keep my promise just because I was a bad guy or a competitor.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s smile deepened. It was a smile I didn’t know what it meant.
“Do you think you are that strong?”
“At least I don’t think I’m a weakling who can’t deal with a lunatic swayed by temptation.”
“You mean you’re confident in your dragon skills.”
“yes. I know what he wants.”
“Interesting. What does the second one want?”
“I am interested.”
oops!
Li Tianxiang and Xu Liang looked at Hoyaoseong.
Ho Yo-seong cleared his throat and lowered his head.
“Kheheheheum! I’m sorry, I was too surprised.”
Lee Cheon-sang turned his gaze to Xu Liang again.
“Are you interested?”
“The guy said so. He said his dream was to become the most powerful person and spend the rest of his life comfortably. He said his dream is to become the strongest person and lead the life of a god that everyone comes to.”
“… … .”
“Yes, the ideal he wants is the headmaster.”
“I see.”
“But he is very different from the teacher.”
“That is also true.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded and buried his back in Taesa.
There was a moment of silence in Daejeon.
how much time has passed like that
Ugh.
A glass that had been on the table floated up and headed for Xu Liang.
“Six thousand hearts?”
“Isn’t it bad?”
“Could it be?”
Seo Liang took the glass and emptied it.
Lee Cheon-sang asked Ho Yo-seong.
“How about the military?”
“yes?”
“That cunning fellow turned an illusionary treason into real treason. As head of the military department, I want to hear what you think.”
Ho Yo-seong said as if it were natural.
“It is unacceptable.”
“Is that so?”
Seo Liang crumpled his face.
Ho Yo-seong looked at Xu Liang with a smile, and bloody words came out of his mouth.
“With false information, an emergency has been placed on the entire school. This does not amount to treason, but it is considered a mortal sin.”
“Let’s continue.”
“Furthermore, they made two people who did not commit treason into real traitors. It is a false name. No matter how important the succession battle is, this should not be overlooked. It is a felony that would not be strange if disqualified as a candidate.”
Seo Liang let out a cough.
“I wish I could have made it real, what.”

“That’s the biggest problem. The Three Gongja made this rebellion real and undermined the authority of the leader. Later, in the history book of the school, it will be written that the rebellion broke out in the head’s generation. Much less the spy sent by the political faction, the disciple raised by the headmaster himself committed treason.”
“… … .”
“You will not be remembered as a perfect god in the minds of the demons of the next generation.”
Hearing this, it is definitely wrong.
Seo Liang sighed. He had done it once, but when he tried to fix it, it was definitely a major accident.
Ho Yo-seong, who had been staring at Seo-ryang, smiled in an instant.
“Well, I’m sure the headmaster wouldn’t even care about such an evaluation.”
Then why did you say that, man?
Cheonsang Lee said.
“You can’t do anything if you pay attention to the evaluation of future generations.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
“Anyway, that’s what you think of the third action this time.”
“It was terribly frightening. My heart was racing.”
Seo Liang grumbled.
“Isn’t it too relaxed for that kind of thing? Even though I didn’t use the angle.”
“Keah hee hee hee! If possible, please tell me that you are quick-witted.”
Woo woo woo.
The bottle floated up on its own and flew to the front of the glass that Xiliang put down.
Squeeze.
A drink that pours slowly. The fragrant incense spread gently.
At least the first drink wasn’t the last. Xiliang realized that Li Tianxiang had no intention of holding him accountable.
Cheonsang Lee said.
“I cannot spare a traitor because of your promise.”
“… … Um, is that going to happen?”
“Yes. The second one dies because you made him a traitor. In order not to kill the second, we must announce that this was not true treason.”
“It sucks.”
“Do you want it?”
“Absolutely not.”
“If I do, I will have to kill the second one.”
Still, he is his disciple, but he says he will kill him too easily.
If it was Seoryang in the past, he would have felt some guilt. But now he feels no guilt.
Because he also tried to kill himself? Not like that.
Because his grudge, his goal, his future depended on it. In the end, Jin Kwan-yong, Kwan-pyeong, and Hong Wi-mun are just casualties caught up in the war.
Furthermore, there is no reason to blame Lee Cheon-sang for his heartlessness. He already knew that Lee Cheon-sang was such a person, and he was the one who created this situation.
In other words, everything you have to endure.
So the sage said:
“We must attack the Criminal Court.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes shone.
“Criminal law head?”
“yes.”
“Are you going to put pressure on the head of the family so that he doesn’t kill him?”
“Could that be? The headmaster already said he would kill you.”
“if?”
“When I first saw Hyeongbeopdangju, he was wearing someone else’s face, not his own.”
“… … .”
“It was then that I knew that bizarre gongs that change the skeleton of the body existed.”
Ho Yo-seong looked at Seo-ryang with amazement.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you saying you’re going to set up a substitute and deceive the main school again?”
“What are you talking about?”
“what?”
“I have never cheated on the headmaster.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t the head of the Heavenly Demon God, and the Heavenly Demon God is the leader? If only the headmaster knew, I wouldn’t be cheating on the main school, right?”
“It’s just a pun.”
“It’s a joke, but it’s also true. And the person who made it possible for me to say this is the head teacher.”
Seo Liang smiled.
It wasn’t a mischievous or sarcastic smile, it was a smile that felt cool for some reason.
“Are you remorseful about this treason incident?”
“… … .”
“I don’t dare to look into the Master’s heart. But if you really don’t mind, try putting another pebble on the rock.”
“Why should I do what you ask?”
“Can I just say it for once?”
“Tell me.”
Xu Liang pounded his chest with his fist.
“Shipa, that’s frustrating.”
‘Coup!’
Ho Yo-seong closed his eyes tightly without realizing it. Lee Chun-sang’s expression also became strange at the grumbling mixed with profanity.
“I don’t know why you keep looking for reasons when you’ve already made up your mind. Are you simply curious about my reaction? Or is it a mourning for your own standards that have already been shaken?”
“… … .”
“Professor, aren’t you that kind of person? Aren’t you the kind of person who just pushes through if there’s something you want or something you’re interested in?”
“… … .”
“If you’re curious about my reaction, I’ve already shown you all. This is my limit. Even if this conversation continues, the headmaster can only see me frustrated or annoyed.”
“So if you’re going to do it, cool it down, or say no?”
“You’ve been like that all along, right?”
“It did.”
Yi Chun-sang, who paused for a moment, nodded.
“It was.”
Whoops.
Xu Liang’s pupils burned red.
I couldn’t dare think of looking up at a man who reigned as the god of the martial arts of the time.
Ho Yo-seong glanced at the two of them.
‘Today I get to see a really rare sight.’
I never imagined that there would be a demon in the world who would spit out such radical words in front of the heavenly statue.
“If I am different now, it may be because of you.”
“Eh?”
“You are different.”
Lee Cheon-sang smiled.
It was a gentle smile. It was a warm smile of the human Lee Cheon-sang that he had never shown to anyone.
“You are different. At least with the main school’s demons I’ve seen.”
“… … .”
“The disciple is greatly stimulated by the teacher’s words and actions. Sometimes, a few words from a teacher can have enough ripple effect to decide the life of a disciple.”
“… … is that so.”
“Yes. But now I know that the reverse is also possible.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been smiling, frowned.
“I was inspired by you. Your behavior, the way you talk, and all the absurd things you’ve been doing piqued my interest.”
“… … .”
“You vomited something new as soon as you touched it. Even now. Perhaps, in your uniqueness, I may be looking for another pleasure in the boring and ordinary world.”
The old man’s face hardened.
Lee Cheon-sang was telling the truth now.
“I, who don’t like to blur the conversation with useless words, have been doing that before I knew it.”
“hmm… … .”
Seo Liang coughed in vain.
“I don’t think you’re going to say that again… … .”
“I will give the order.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s waist, which had been buried in Taesa’s body, became straight again.
“Grand Duke Jin Gwan-yong and Lee Gong-ja Gwan-pyeong will be executed as traitors. This name never changes. but… … .”
“Just what?”
“I will leave the rest to you and the head of the criminal law.”
“… … !”
“If the Head of Criminal Law accepts your request, I will not be involved in it. As always. However, if the head of the Criminal Law does not fulfill your request, he will be sentenced to behead the traitor Gwan Pyeong.”
Xu Liang, hidden under his sleeve, tightened his fist.
Lee Cheon-sang shook his hand.
“Finish everything and come back to me. both of them.”
Xu Liang rose from his seat with a turbulent face.
“And the third.”
“yes?”
“This is the only time I am persuaded.”
He is still expressionless, but is it an illusion to feel that his voice is playful?
Xu Liang smiled.
“Don’t be too sure, because I’ll convince you if I’m wrong in the future.”
“If you can, try it somewhere.”
Lee Cheon-sang shook his hand.
“I will end today’s conversation here.”
