Episode 219. Daggers taste best when poison is applied (3)
The heat of the succession fight has cooled.
Jin Kwan-yong, the strongest of the heirs, lost his life, and Guan Ping was also beheaded. Hong Wi-moon was still in a dying state, and Joo Seo-yoon, Jong Ri-young, and Chae Yeo-min were seeds that had not yet ripened.
In the end, it’s Seoryang. Xu Liang, the Three Gongja, is the victor in the succession battle and the one who will be chosen as the successor. In many ways, such as military power, resourcefulness, and mentality, he is the next master of the Protestant religion and has no shortage.
The fight between the successors, which had been so brief and intense, came to an end. I only knew it like that.
However, the day after Guan Ping’s execution, rumors like bombs swept the campus.
“Hyungbeopdangju Gogu was the first disciple the teacher received, and he is the real grand duke.”
It was a shocking rumor.
Hyeongbeopdangju Gogu was a name imprinted with fear among the demons in the school. In fact, he was the first disciple Lee Cheon-sang received.
The demons were taken aback by the unbelievable rumors. The source of the rumor was not clear, but the ripple effect of the content was too great.
When everyone is shaken, everyone is distrustful, and everyone is drenched in anxiety.
The words that came out of Xi Liang’s mouth shook the whole Shin religion.
“I haven’t been with him since I joined, but I’ve always thought of him as a strong formation.”
That meaningful word raised the veracity of the rumor.
Because it was the horse of the Xiliang closest to the successor, it had a ripple effect as much as rumors. If the Three Gongja think of Kogu as a great figure, Kogu is really the first disciple of Lee Cheon-sang.
A series of extreme chaos.
All eyes turned to the military department. Neither dare nor need to look suspiciously at the Demon Palace, what they wanted was fact-checking from the military department.
The day after the rumor broke.
From the mouth of Ho Yo-seong, the head of the military department, a voice like thunder from the sky came out.
“Only the head of the church knows how he became the head of the Criminal Court. No matter what the past has been, he is no longer in a position to discuss succession, so members of the church should do their best in their respective positions without worrying about rumors.”
These are the words of a person in power who is below one person and above all people.
It was not a rumor that could be easily calmed down by a few words, but surprisingly, the simmering atmosphere quickly subsided.
Ho Yo-seong was not a person who took it easy on the front line. Needless to say, Lee Chun-sang, the religious leader.
The fact that such a powerful person came forward and said that meant that Shingo would not be stirred up again by Gogu’s past affairs. no one will tolerate it
That’s it. He knew about the unexpected past of the head of the criminal court, but nothing changed.
The demons knew that, and that’s how they forgot. It’s surprising, but nothing to worry about.
However, for some, this fact may not be something to be ignored. In particular, Gogu’s past can be a great attraction for those plotting in the dark.
Those insidious plotters finally stepped out.
What they were after was Gogu.
* * *
midnight.
Gogu, who was doing his homework with a lantern lit, felt the wind blowing from the window.
A gloomy expression appeared in Gogu’s eyes.
“Who are you?”
There was no answer coming back.
His gaze, which had been fixed on the document, slowly rose. His eyes moved back to the window, then to the bookshelf by the doorway on the other side.
There was a man there.
Contrary to the fact that he was dressed in clothes as dark as the dark office, the man’s face was pure white. In the black darkness, the sight of a severed head floating in the air gave me a sharp fright.
“What a sensation.”
That was the man’s first words.
“Jin Gwan-yong noticed it too, but it was one beat slow. Guanping didn’t even know until he spoke. you are different This is the first time my stealth technique has been detected so quickly.”
“I asked who you are.”
“Who are you? well There’s no way you don’t know me.”
Gogu frowned.
Even if it wasn’t like broad daylight, the man’s face was clearly visible in his eyes. But no matter how I looked, I couldn’t tell who he was.
“I refrain from playing with words. Reveal who you are.”
“There is nothing to reveal. It is what you see.”
Whoops.
A powerful demonic energy surged from Kogu who stood up.
Gogu looked at the man’s face once again.
His eyes got bigger.
“you are… … ?!”
“Are you recognizing now?”
The sight of a man with a smile as white as his skin was terrifying.
“Yes, this is Song-kyung.”
Surprisingly, his identity was the former Jinma Daeju Song Gyeong. In the past, he served as the hand and foot of Hong Wi-mun, the ruler of Sagongja, and was the one who had a terrible relationship with Wi Hong-ryeon.
A look of disbelief hung over Gogu’s face.
“Wasn’t you demoted to the foreign ministry on the second month you were imprisoned?”
Yes.
Song Gyeong, who was entangled with Seo Ryang, was imprisoned and relegated to the outer fortress Segokdan. Segokdan was the place where the final classification of food materials that went into Naeseong belonged to Hwanheewon.
The one who was the commander of the combat unit was demoted to the Segokdan under the Hwanhuiwon. It was much more humiliating than being assigned to a suburban branch.
Such a person infiltrated the dwelling place of Gogu, the master of transcendental skill, as if he were going in and out of his house. It was truly amazing.
But there was something even more surprising.
‘Have you become younger?’
Song Kyung was the same age as Gogu.
But now, doesn’t he look no different from a young man in his early twenties? Even the tanned skin turned white, so even the quick-witted Gogu could not be recognized right away.
“Actually, what matters is not my identity.”
Song Kyung’s face was grave. It seemed relaxed, and it seemed that he was indifferent to the world.

It has really changed a lot from Songgyeong of the past. He seemed like a completely different person from when he joined hands with Hong Yu-wen to get ahead.
“What matters is your potential.”
“Possibility?”
“Don’t you want to hold the presidency?”
It appears out of nowhere and spits out dangerous words.
Gogu’s eyes darkened.
“What are you talking about?”
“It is literally. They say that you used to be a disciple of the headmaster. I don’t know why you became the head of the Criminal Law, but the ambition in your heart hasn’t disappeared, has it?”
In an instant, I felt a stabbing in a corner of my chest.
Yes. he was ambitious And that unshaken ambition still remained in one side of his chest and tickled his heart.
“If you still have that ambition, why don’t you join hands with me? Myeongsaek was the first disciple of the religious leader, isn’t it too regretful to give up the presidency as it is?”
It was a monotonous voice with no pitch. That makes it even more tempting.
But the gogu didn’t shake. The ambition that has not been abandoned yet has been tightening his heart once, but it is because he has something much bigger than that.
That was his pride as a demon.
“Were you the one who seduced Jin Gwan-yong?”
Song Kyung’s eyes flashed.
“Do you know that far? Amazing.”
I admit it outright. That candid recognition was based on boundless confidence.
“Well, if you’re the head of the Criminal Law, you’ll understand.”
“What is a dagger?”
This time, Song-kyung couldn’t help but be taken aback. His eyes widened.
“Guanping, it seems that this idiot has blown everything before he dies. Was it a mistake to hold hands with him?”
“Answer the question.”
“It will come later. As I said before, the important thing is not my true identity or dagger. What matters is your heart.”
Gogu’s eyes deepened.
“What a bizarre remark. Listening to you, you seem to think that I can seize the presidency if I want to.”
“I saw it correctly. With our help, we can eliminate all of the current candidates. The headmaster’s words about selecting a successor must not be false, and the headmaster will naturally have no choice but to choose you.”
‘we’… … .
Gogu shook his head.
“You know nothing. The headmaster is not like that.”
“Even if you don’t, wouldn’t it be worth giving it a try? There is no shame in struggling to be the best.”
“It’s not something that comes out of the mouth of a guy who hides and schemes.”
Song Kyung’s eyes narrowed.
There was a subtle demonic energy in the narrowly revealed eyes. I can assure you, Gogu had never felt such demonic energy before.
Even though the intensity was indescribable magic, the stealth was unmatched. It is convergence, not expansion. In the first place, since magic was not suitable for stealth, it seemed that he had maximized his ability in stealth by learning the mysterious magic.
“Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Gogu smiled.
I don’t know what kind of magic the opponent has mastered, but I haven’t lived a clumsy life enough to succumb to threats and temptations like this.
“You have to regret it. It is a serious crime, needless to say, that the manager of the Segokdan and the like infiltrated the office of the head of the Criminal Court.”
Squeak.
Song Kyung raised his right hand. His right hand was just as white as his face.
“You’re looking for the wrong person. I analyzed that he was the most likely of the three, but I was wrong.”
Raise your hand and concentrate the demonic energy. It was obvious that he intended to attack, but Gogu did not raise his demonic energy.
just say it one more time.
“When you say three, do you mean the candidates excluding the three actors?”
“Of course.”
“You said we were. Did your colleagues visit you there now?”
“Okay. My loyalty to tell you that far… … .”
At that time, a voice pierced Song-kyung’s ears like an arrow.
“You don’t even have to listen.”
Faaaaang!
The moment that split the moment of the moment.
Song-gyeong’s body was already permeating through the window. It was so fast that Gogu couldn’t even react, it was a stealth technique. Her phantom was missing.
Song Kyung’s choice of fleeing rather than attacking was right.
However, no matter how right the choice is now, it has no meaning in the face of an unmanageable disaster. In the first place, he was not supposed to come to Gogu.
Kwadeuk!
Song Kyung’s eyes trembled. His wrist holding the window was dislocated.
Suwook!
Outside the window, out of the darkness, the eyes of a young man who suddenly jumped out were fierce like those of a demon.
Song-gyeong pulled away like a thunderbolt.
Quadruped!
Retreat is not tolerated. Xu Liang, who rushed at a speed faster than he pulled away, hit him in the face with his elbow.
“Kuk!”
His nose was broken and his face was torn. Her body froze for an instant at the excruciating pain.
grasp!
The hand holding the collar on his shoulder was just stubborn. Song Jing tried to take her body away again, but the black and white jangsam made of her fabric became as hard as steel. The Magi hardened the clothes to tremendous strength.
“Your skills have improved a lot.”
f*ck!
“Keugh!”
A moan of pain escaped from Song Kyung’s mouth. He hit her thigh with her fist, and her entire right leg seemed to be paralyzed.
It was a blow that neutralized evasion itself. Further escape is impossible.
Songgyeong took a deep breath.
The sage’s eyes widened. The swirling air is sucked into Song-kyung’s mouth. It seemed that even the lion’s hood would come out.
Wow!
“Oops!”
Xu Liang’s left hand gripped his entire face. Song Kyung’s face turned red.
Deuk Deuk.
The grip of the seolyang was great. He had the momentum to smash Song-kyung’s head at once.
Holding Song Jing in one hand, he raised his arm wide. Accordingly, Song-gyeong’s body was also lifted up.
Whoops.
Kogu radiated demonic energy and covered the entire office. This was to prevent shockwaves and sounds from escaping to the outside.
Kwaaang!
Song Kyung’s head fell to the floor.
burrrrr.
Looking down at the trembling Song Jing, Xu Liang grinned.
“Got it, you bastard.”
