Episode 225. The past that cannot be discarded, the future that cannot be grasped (5)
Kugoong!
Gogu’s eyes flashed.
Powerful vibration felt from far away. The collision of demons, which was hard to feel unless it was at least Gogu, announced the start of a terrifying battle.
“Why is that?”
“… … .”
“Are you even going to have a big fight with the Three Gongs?”
This person knows everything without seeing it.
Gogu nodded.
“I guess that’s how it is.”
“great. I heard that the formations surrounding the Demon Shrine can absorb a large part of the shock wave.”
“The headmaster is a person who has reached a level that cannot even be guessed at. The Three Gongja who deal with him are also masters who have reached the peak, so it is only natural that this kind of shock wave will occur.”
“You know it well, too.”
“… … .”
“Oh, sorry. I had no other intentions.”
“I know.”
Ho Yo-seong, who was quietly looking down at the tea table, shook his head.
“Well, I guess not today.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m going to stop working today and have a drink.”
I’m going to have a drink in broad daylight. It is to the point of being called negligent work, but if the target is Ho Yo-seong, anyone has no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
“Are you very busy these days?”
The sight of him shaking his body as if he was fed up is the highlight.
“Don’t talk. Originally, it is said that the position of general military commander is bound to be busy, but especially these days, 50,000 things have exploded. Should I fix this or fix that? It’s not even a fuss.”
“Right.”
Most of the things that have happened on campus lately are because of Seoryang. It was precisely because of the succession fight, but it was Seo Liang who fought while adding fuel to that fiery battle.
As for Ho Yo-seong, the person who wants to swear at him is Seo-ryang.
“Would you like to have a drink too?”
“Good.”
“uh? How amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“I knew you would say this. ‘I don’t have a hobby of drinking while working. If you want to drink, have a gungun or something.’ Like this.”
It’s funny how he imitates Gogu’s voice exaggeratedly.
It’s a joke that will make you laugh, but Gogu didn’t laugh. Ho Yo-seong scratched his head as if embarrassed.
“I’m a little fair.”
“I know.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Faulty liquid? Geomnamchun? What would you like?”
“Give me anything.”
“great!”
Ho Yo-seong, who brought a large wine bottle with a happy face, shook the bottle.
“Uh, did you cut it down a bit? I’ll have to get it again.”
Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he usually drank a glass during work. Worried about whether to fire him for negligent work, Kogu gave up his worries at the scent rising from the cup.
“Come on, let’s have a drink!”
Two people who emptied their glasses coolly.
Ho Yo-seong’s face turned red. On the other hand, Gogu’s face was fine.
“Kuh, after all, if you drink it when you’re tired, it’ll go up. Very good. I’m going to get drunk right away and sleep all day.”
“It’s a well-seasoned drink.”
“Nothing. It’s a drink I got because I begged the teacher. I am not giving this to anyone.”
“Thank you.”
“Kyaha! I didn’t mean to say thank you.”
So many rounds of alcohol went around.
“How was it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Were they, to be exact, seduced by his words when Song-kyung approached?”
Suddenly, a dangerous question arises.
But is it because the atmosphere is soft? The question doesn’t sound too dangerous, nor does it feel aggressive.
Gogu nodded calmly.
“Something happened.”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes shone.
“Awesome. Are you admitting that?”
“If you decide to answer the question, I think it is best to be honest.”
This is another unexpected answer. If it had been a gogu that I had seen in the meantime, I would not have answered at all, or I would have shot it as a matter of business.
‘Is it because I bumped into the Three Princes a lot? This person has changed a lot too.’
Ho Yoseong smiled.
“That is correct. Since you answered honestly, I don’t know what to do.”
“How about the General Commander?”

“yes? Me?”
“You’re evaluating me, who could be a potential threat, while making this drinking party, right?”
“… … .”
“Do you look okay?”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes as he looked at Gogu became a little more serious.
“Did you know?”
“exactly.”
“Haha, this is embarrassing. Since the head of the household gave an honest answer, should I be honest too?”
“Yes.”
“The desire to share a drink with Dangju was sincere. I didn’t ask for a drink because I wanted to find out what Dangju was thinking. and… … .”
Hojo smiled and nodded.
“Looks fine. You still have ambitions in your heart, but you know very well that ambitions are just dregs.”
“… … .”
“It looks like he admired the Three Gongja.”
You cannot be happy in a situation where your inner thoughts are revealed to others.
Gogu was the same. But he didn’t react much.
Because that’s true.
Gogu, who had empty his glass without a word, opened his mouth.
“Three Gongja are great people.”
“Tell me what are you going to do?”
“It’s even more amazing because I don’t have any big lingering attachments to the position of the leader. If it were me, no matter how big my dreams were, I wouldn’t be able to brush them off without regret.”
“… … Ohh? Do you have no lingering attachments to the position of teacher?”
“Did you not know?”
“Of course not. Sitting and watching a thousand miles, there are many sayings of genius soldiers who come up with lively schemes, but I am also a human being. You won’t know until you talk to them in person.”
You are subtly bragging about yourself.
Ho Yo-seong bent his upper body forward as if he was genuinely curious.
“Did the Three Gongja do that? Aren’t you very interested in being a teacher?”
“If you didn’t know, I won’t say more about that.”
“Ah, they say it’s innocent even if you curse at the emperor in a place where you can’t see it. Let’s have a drink and talk. Did you really?”
“Pour me a drink.”
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t follow you.”
widely.
“… … all right. Got it. Why are you putting down that cup, scary.”
“… … .”
“Sheesh, that’s not funny.”
Ho Yo-seong, who had been refilling his glass while licking his lips in regret, snapped his fingers as if he had suddenly remembered.
“Come to think of it, where is Gwanpyeong?”
“It’s in the special room in the basement of the Criminal Court.”
The person who died on the day of the execution was not Gwanpyeong, but Jin Gwanyong’s servant dressed up as Gwanpyeong. He was also a subordinate of Gwanpyeong, and was also a companion who worked with Mokbi.
“It’s a special room in the basement of the Criminal Court… … I’ve heard rumors. It’s very wide.”
“There is a private practice room, a restaurant, and even a sleeping room. It’s a good place to practice lung training. It was also a training center for successive heads of families.”
“Are you practicing martial arts there?”
“Polish it… … In a way, it can be seen as polishing. He is throwing away his martial arts now.”
“Eh?”
“Three Gongja said that. That martial art will eat away at his spirit as time goes by. It would be quicker to throw him away now and start over.”
“okay.”
Ho Yo-seong licked his lips.
“They say they’ll help you get to the extreme, but for now, you’ll get rid of martial arts.”
“hmm?”
“Oh, didn’t you know? The Three Gongja made a deal with Guan Ping, and Guan Ping’s request was to help him reach the peak.”
Gogu laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Because it’s funny.”
“What?”
“I also asked the Three Gongja to fight until they reached the final stage.”
Ho Yoseong scratched his head.
“It seems that the Three Gongja have an easy secret to reach the extreme, right? It’s not a promise that will be abused so easily.”
“It wouldn’t be overkill. Because I will try until I can.”
“Well, that’s it.”
Ho Yo-seong buried his back in the chair. Burying my back in a soft chair, I looked drowsy.
“Anyway, with this, all those who would block the path of the Three Princes have disappeared.”
“I will.”
“I’m sure the demons’ eyes will bother me, but I’ll take care of that.”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes, looking up at the ceiling, were stained with unknown emotions.
“It’s the next leader, Seo Liang… … I don’t know when I’ll be handed over, but I don’t think it will take long.”
“I will. Because I have enough power.”
“I was thinking that the moment of regime change would come at some point, but I didn’t know that time would come so soon.”
“Me too.”
Ho Yoseong smiled.
It was a smile that seemed tired for some reason.
“I wish you well in the future.”
“Me too.”
Jjim!
It was when the two clinked glasses.
Koo Goo Palace!!
A stronger echo than before was delivered to the military department.
It was so intense that this time I could even detect Ho Yo-seong. Judging from the intensity of the shock, not only the military department but also the joy hall and the kidney department were delivered.
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes deepened.
“You’ve gotten stronger.”
After thinking for a moment, Gogu nodded his head.
“No sponsorship.”
“hmm? Then how is it?”
“It’s Panmajeong.”
“… … !”
“It is difficult to express the master’s martial arts even with words. He thinks he knows something of his disposition, though I can’t even guess what heights he has reached.”
“tendency?”
“Aren’t you the kind of person who wouldn’t even use martial arts at all if you were going to do it awkwardly?”
“It is.”
“If you look at the temperament of shock, it seems to be determined and collided. It doesn’t contain any killing, so it seems to be a kind of martial arts, but even so, if it’s the master’s martial arts, the Demon Goddess might evaporate in three hands.”
“… … You are amazing.”
“There is only Panmajeong. If it is not Panmajeong, there is no area that can handle the master’s martial arts. and… … .”
Gogu laughed bitterly.
“It seems that the Three Gongja are properly responding to the master’s martial arts.”
* * *
Quaang!
“Ouch!”
With a frustrated moan, Xu Liang frantically backed away. The fist that offset her long hit (掌打) hurt like it would break.
This wasn’t about discussing the level of martial arts. It was close to being pushed away by strength rather than the overwhelming difference in strength and strength of martial arts.
‘A tremendous feat!’
The level of training of the body is different. The height of nearly seven feet and the skeleton of a mountain didn’t just come out of nowhere.
To contain a lake, there must be a vessel as large as a lake, and to contain an ocean, there must be a vessel as large as the sea. Also, the durability of a bowl is just as important as its size.
That was the body of this heavenly statue. A body trained to such an extent that it could contain the strongest martial arts that would not be lacking even when discussing the old and new, and that there were no abnormalities in the body even when using such martial arts, was no different than a new recruit in itself.
Wow!
Xu Liang, who had retreated for a while, turned his body to let go of the shock, then kicked off the ground again and flew up.
Lee Cheon-sang’s magic eyes flashed.
It was faster than expected. Despite suffering significant internal and external injuries, he realizes martial arts beyond his original capabilities. That meant it was desperate.
‘I risked my life.’
The corner of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth went up. Despite staring at him, Xiliang didn’t recognize that he was laughing.
slip.
Lee Chun-sang’s body moved sideways.
Whoa!
Xi Liang immediately moved to the place where Li Tianxiang had moved.
You cannot change direction with your two feet. Lowering his stance, he mobilized both arms to spur the ground and change direction. It was an animal-like movement, a momentum that reached its peak.
Xu Liang’s hands moved quickly.
Papapang!
He threw all the herbivorous food in the Thunderbolt Fist seven times in one feeding. It was an explosive combination that would put even the most skilled masters in danger.
Tutter tong!
That murderous martial law, Lee Chun-sang struck it all with one hand. He couldn’t believe how he was able to cover up so many blows at a speed slower than Kwonbeop.
Pooh!
Xu Liang’s body rolled and bounced off the ground. All I had to do was gently push his shoulder, but the extreme shock lingered in my bones.
“Kuk!”
Xu Liang’s body stopped only after breaking a rock.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth.
“quite… … .”
Aaaaaang!
I don’t even listen to everything Lee Cheon-sang’s smile grew thicker at the sight of Seo-ryang running back at a faster speed than before.
‘Good.’
A good start. I liked the strength that exceeded expectations and the concentration that threw away dignity for the sake of attack.
But that’s it.
“Where shall we play?”
Koo Goo Goo!!
Terrible demonic energy emanated from the body of the two heavenly bodies.
