Chapter 465. Choice of Ages (5)
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes.
“Am I looking at nothing?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Does it seem right? How can the sight of our school’s military commander carrying the political faction that is said to be the enemy of all adversaries, and the greatest adult, Great Master Jeoksong, to be real? Isn’t this illusion?”
“Because it isn’t.”
“Reverse magic? Aren’t you a general?”
“No, really.”
Seo Liang burst into laughter.
The Red Song said as if it was embarrassing.
“They told me to get up.”
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“Thanks to you, we talked a lot.”
“Chonggun, starting today, sleep less.”
“Ouch! What do you mean?!”
“Looking at him carrying that man on his back, he seems to be overflowing with energy. Seeing that I have enough stamina left, I can do more work.”
Xu Liang, who had reduced Ho Yo-seong’s physical strength to the limit with a few jokes, removed a chair.
“Sit down.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
Red Pine glanced at Ho Yo-seong.
Ho Yo-seong was sitting on the floor with his mouth wide open. The appearance resembled the heroine of tragic love in a Peking Opera, so it seemed like laughter would come out naturally.
Xu Liang touched Ho Yao-seong with his foot.
“go away. You saw everything.”
“I haven’t seen them all!”
“Then get a cup of tea! Stop acting like an idiot!”
Ho Yo-seong grumbled and stood up.
“True, but I am a person of power over all people, but what the hell is this… … .”
“Just straighten your head.”
“Ah, let’s go. Because I am going.”
Red Pine shook his head as he watched Ho Yo-seong run away.
“I can’t believe my eyes.”
“What do you mean?”
“Is this really the conversation between the religious leader and general commander?”
“So it sounds like a conversation between an idiot and an idiot?”
“Heh heh heh.”
Red Pine smiled broadly.
Majin is much more human than people think. She didn’t know that either.
However, I did not know that the relationship between the religious leader and general commander would be so close. There is some truth in Ho Yo-seong’s words, no matter how indecisive he is, he doesn’t ask a person in power above all people to get into a car.
“You really seem to be different from your master in many ways.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“If I want to live like my master, I must die first. No one can copy his life.”
“Do you think so?”
“of course. Isn’t that the same for me too? No one can live like me. Everyone has their own way.”
The red pine tree laughed.
“The Protestants of the generation you rule can live a pleasant life indeed.”
“I wonder if it’s because people’s brains are hardened. I am tearing it apart and fixing it one by one.”
“Good. You look really good.”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“You know I didn’t come here to discuss private matters. Let’s get to the point.”
“You’re doing too much for people who are dying.”
“I know the old ship wants it.”
The red pine smiled.
Is it because I am losing the power of the sky that I possessed? His smile contained sorrow and benevolence that he had never seen before. He seemed to be obsessed with something.
“I didn’t mean to say anything special. I just opened my eyes and suddenly I missed you. I wanted to talk to you about things.”
“That’s a disappointing thing to say.”
“Heh heh, is that so?”
Seo Liang smiled.
“I’m kidding. I am honored.”
After a while, Ho Yo-seong got into the car.
Xi Liang smelled the incense and set the teacup down on the window sill.
Ho Yo-seong narrowed his eyes.
“Why is that?”
“It smells strange. It would be better to cool it down and eat it.”
“profit!”
“Are your fists tight? Is it just right now? huh?”
“My palms are itchy. It’s nice to scratch because she doesn’t clip her nails.”
Ho Yo-seong raised his hand as if showing off.
“Look, with these long nails… … .”

“It was time. put it away.”
“He says he can’t even cut his nails on time because he doesn’t have enough time to sleep.”
“I want to cut my nails before going to bed. It’s an order.”
“… … yes.”
I took a sip of red pine tea.
Ho Yo-seong said as if he had been waiting.
“You woke up in five days, but I thought being too hot would be bad for your body. You said you make it moderately lukewarm, how about it?”
“Very good. Thank you.”
“Haha, as expected, the old ship knows something.”
A friendly atmosphere ensued.
Red Pine looked at Xiliang and Hoyoseong with slightly blurred eyes.
The two of them were complaining at each other about what they were so dissatisfied with. But it wasn’t sincere. The clear eyes of the two, the smiles on their lips, and the flowing atmosphere proved it.
‘It’s because of a good relationship with the ruler.’
I wondered if it was too casual, but it seemed that this kind of relationship was helpful for the two of them.
‘Comfortable like a friend. It’s easy to say, but difficult to actually do. Perhaps when these two people are determined and committed to work, they will show faster work than any other organization.’
Also, the Red Song knew. The usual conversation between the two would not be this bright and light.
‘Are you giving it for me?’
Yes. Xu Liang and Ho Yao-sung were repeating this delightful conversation to show it to Chik Song.
Rather than a stiff and formal atmosphere, it was to ease his mind in a bright and friendly atmosphere.
I was very grateful for the consideration that was not that consideration.
“By the way, how is your friend?”
Ho Yo-seong answered before the red pine opened his mouth.
“They say they’ll come to their senses tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow at the latest.”
Seo Liang nodded.
“You really do great things.”
Although they are said to be possessors of godlike power, the ages of the two are estimated to be hundreds of years. It is said that strong qi supports the body, but it is difficult to recover if it is injured to that extent. Especially if you don’t even have the energy to raise it.
“I don’t know much about you two, but I do know that you are not afraid of death.”
“Heh heh, I’ve lived past the time to die, so I shouldn’t be afraid of death.”
“If you do, you still have regrets, so did you wake up already? I know it’s not just to have a conversation with me.”
It was a word that could be considered disrespectful to the opponent.
But as expected, the red pine was not hurt by those words.
“I came here and talked lightly with the military commander.”
“which?”
“You should know that the Anti-Cheonghoe has collapsed.”
“I can’t help but know.”
“You don’t know this one. That my friend Hyunchun and I were excommunicated.”
Xi Liang’s eyes widened.
“stir?!”
“Yes.”
To be excommunicated from the clan is not different from the meaning of being excommunicated from the family register. In the case of red pine, it can be seen as meaning that it was erased from the register of Shaolin Temple.
This wasn’t normal. For the military men living in this era, excommunication was an act no different from taking one’s life. No, I’d rather take my own life. It was a virtue to refuse excommunication to the end.
However, it was excommunicated. Red pine and Hyunchun.
Who are these two people? As the strongest warriors of the political faction, they were invincible warriors called Kwonshin (拳神) and Swordsman (劍神), respectively.
What does this mean to say that the best adults of the political faction that built the stronghold of the two gods of Jeongwu were excommunicated?
“Exactly, it was the excommunication we requested.”
“Why did you do that?”
“It’s because there’s pressure from the imperial palace.”
Seo Liang’s eyes flashed.
“I know that the Anti-Jeonghoe was disbanded due to external pressure from the imperial palace.”
“I heard from Mr. Ho. I already guessed.”
The red pine let out a sigh.
“The imperial palace didn’t simply ask us to disband the Anti-Jeonghoe. To be precise, an order has been given to return the warriors of the Anti-Orthodox Association to the imperial army.”
“… … !”
“In other words, it means that Shaolin and the shaman, as well as all the sects following him, will be taken over in the imperial palace.”
“A military belonging to the imperial palace?”
“Yes.”
Where did the bright atmosphere from a moment ago go?
“You wouldn’t have heard the news all the way to the southernmost part of the central plains. Because it was so secretive.”
“Even so, the fact that the Anti-Cheonghoe was dismantled so quickly is certainly a mystery. Have you ever been threatened by them?”
A look of surprise appeared on the red pine’s face.
“Did you guess?”
“Guess what? Shaolin and the shamans were a faction that fought not by force but by agreement and justification. The only thing that can dismantle the Banjeonghoe led by such a munpa is the imperial palace, but no matter how much I think about it, I thought the timing was too soon.”
I drank cold tea.
“However, the Anti-Jeonghoe was disbanded in this situation… … . Even the imperial palace would not be able to make such an attempt without remorse if there were no forces to support her. If Ban Jeong-hoe strikes back, even the few remaining cornerstones of the imperial palace will be blown away.”
“We are like that… … .”
“The intention of the anti-Jeonghoe is not important, it means that the imperial palace will think so.”
“… … .”
“In other words, it is clear that the imperial palace is already building a power comparable to that of anyone else. Hey, since Dam Sa-yeong and Song Song-baek joined hands with the imperial palace, they must have been reassured.”
Seo Liang’s eyes lit up.
“Isn’t that why you asked for excommunication?”
“… … Yes.”
The red pine smiled bitterly.
“Your insight is really deep. That’s right. We also realized that the former leader and the iron blood castle lord were secretly working behind the palace. That’s why I couldn’t honor the imperial palace’s request. After all, our strength will be their strength.”
“I understand.”
“There was no justification for continuing to stand still. Become the center of the political faction? In fact, from the point of view of the imperial palace, that is nonsense.”
“I guess so. After all, they are all subjects of the same empire.”
“In the past, the imperial palace didn’t care about Murim. You’re right in thinking that it didn’t work out exactly. Even the imperial palace couldn’t have Murim as an enemy.”
“exactly.”
“However, it is different now that Dam Sa-yeong and Song Song-baek, who represent the political faction and the Murim people who represent the Sa faction, have signed a contract with the imperial palace. The imperial palace said this. If we don’t disband the Anti-Jeonghoe, we will declare to the world that we are weight lifting.”
Puss.
The tea in the teacup that Xiliang was holding all vaporized.
“Weightlifting, traitorous… … .”
“Yes. Traitor, what a terrible word! The shame we will endure before death is dreadful. Even if we are criticized, it is right that we should do our best in our position, but since we came out of the imperial palace, there was no way for us either.”
“I see.”
“But there was a bigger problem. The disbanded anti-Jeonghoe is the royal army.”
“Then a ripple?”
Red Pine nodded.
“I announced that it was the two of us who organized the anti-jeonghoe. What can the two people in charge do, but our reputation isn’t average. Shaolin and the shaman, who were stigmatized as the Munpa for bringing sinners to the world, entered the enshrined gate for ten years.”
“That prevented the Banjeonghoe from entering the imperial army.”
“Yes.”
The munpa who excommunicated the two adults who had a great influence on the river and entered the Bongmun on their own.
The twin gods who chose excommunication, or Shaolin and the shaman who expelled the respectable master of the monks, would have shed bloody tears.
“In other words, the faction has no means to stop the imperial palace now.”
“That’s why I came to you.”
The red pine took a deep breath and said.
“Will you guys use our meager reputation?”
