Episode 85. wind blows (5)
The hardened face of Ho Yo-seong.
But there was no sign of fear or concern. It was surprising how Bae Ji-won was not at all frightened even when a blade was placed on his shoulder.
“I didn’t expect this kind of development.”
“Predictable developments are no fun.”
“I don’t know if it’s fun, but it’s amazing.”
“Whatever you’re thinking, it’s none of my business.”
Ho Yo-seong sighed.
“Let’s hear why. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“Isn’t that what I need to say?”
“yes?”
“I don’t know how, I don’t know why. But you never came to me out of curiosity or out of favor.”
Xi Liang’s eyes sank deeply.
“Why did you come to see me?”
A vague emergency informed by the extra senses.
The first time I met him, the super senses that sounded an alarm in a corner of my head now stimulated my head like stabbing with a dagger.
Afterwards, I couldn’t even concentrate properly on the conversation. It was because his awareness of the opponent grew and he focused only on Ho Yo-seong’s eyes and reactions.
No more. I don’t know how or why I felt that way, but I can’t walk with the other person even though I feel dangerous.
“I don’t know what it is, but I felt something strange, so I’m going to threaten to find out, is this it?”
“no.”
“sure?”
“It’s not just a threat to draw a knife.”
“… … .”
“I’m thinking of cutting my throat if I have to.”
The corners of Ho Yo-seong’s lips went up.
“Are you saying you’re going to decapitate a general on campus? No matter how trio you are, you won’t be safe.”
“are you okay. I can pretend to be a bandit too.”
“aha? Are you planning on arresting me for not knowing that I was a general?”
“If the moment comes when you have to do that, then you have to do it.”
Xi Liang’s face was serious. And Ho Yo-seong noticed that seriousness at once.
Ho Yo-seong’s face, which had been tinged with ridicule, gradually changed to expressionless.
“Plant the sword in the scabbard. This situation could be treated as treason.”
“Whether we die now or later, whether we die this way or that way, people die anyway.”
“I’ll count to three.”
“I ask you one last time.”
Chiyiying!
There was a subtle magical energy in the sword.
There was little magic, but there was a lot of firm will. If you don’t give a proper answer to this question, Xu Liang will sincerely cut Ho Yaosheng’s head.
Knowing this, cold sweat slowly formed on the nape of Ho Yo-seong’s neck.
“Why did you come to see me?”
“… … .”
“I’ll tell you in advance, but if you talk about simple curiosity, you will die.”
Ho Yo-seong stared at Seo-ryang with a hard face.
Soon he sighed.
“How did you know?”
“If you hear a question, you have to give an answer. It’s not a good habit to ask. And I said it was definitely the last.”
“I will tell you, please. How did you know? That I have other intentions.”
Seo Liang frowned.
“I don’t know, it’s just a feeling.”
“Feel? Did you hit it with your senses?”
“I have a pretty good sixth sense.
And I’ve already found out that the world doesn’t just run on logic.
So when reason and emotion collide, they usually move as the latter leads. Then at least you won’t regret it.”
“… … That’s right.”
This is the reason why laughter comes out naturally.
Ho Yo-seong, who had been laughing so hard, suddenly remembered a conversation he had with someone.
– You’ve never seen my ability, have you? By the way, you’re going to order the general army? why?
– Is the reason important?
– It’s important. At least for me.
– Let’s call it a sixth sense.
– You think you’ll be fine with just your senses, so you’re ordering a total military force? What is it? No matter how much you think about it, it makes no sense, right?
– Keep one thing in mind when you do the work of our school in the future.
– You’re already thinking about doing it.
– The world doesn’t just run according to logic. It’s a common mistake smart people like you make.
– … … .
– To develop intuition.
– Intuition… … .
– Logic derives the answer of the moment, but intuition presents the answer sheet of the future. That’s where true wisdom comes from.

Hearing that, Ho Yo-seong bowed to ‘him’. He did not bow even when he met the prince, but he had no choice but to bow to him.
Unlike the prince who only gave orders, he taught himself.
Ho Yo-seong licked his lips.
“Curiosity invites imagination, and imagination brings to mind numerous answer sheets.”
“… … .”
“I wanted to know what the real answer was among those countless answer sheets.”
“So you tried to test me?”
“When I want to know the answer I don’t know, I have to throw the test paper to someone else. Your opponent might be able to solve it.”
“What test were you trying to do?”
“There is nothing particularly great about it. I was just trying to bring you to the Cheonma Byeongchang.”
“huh?”
“I have a way to get the Three Gongja into the Cheonma Byeongchang.”
“however?”
“I was going to let them in and observe them.”
The sage’s eyes sharpened.
“It must not have been a mere observation.”
“If I showed an exciting side, they tried to get me off, saying there was no way for me to do that.”
In other words, it means that you can send it into the Cheonma Byeongchang with your own hands and later treat it as a trespasser.
I don’t know how that is possible. However, it was certain that Ho Yo-seong had the brain and the strength to do so.
In fact, when such a situation occurs, Xi Liang is unconditionally subject to criminal law.
At that time, even if you are a disciple of the religious leader, you will have to serve the sentence unconditionally. No, you could end up rotting in prison for the rest of your life.
The crime of trespassing secretly is a felony of felonies.
Xu Liang, who was silently watching Ho Yo-seong, drew his sword.
“To be honest, you really are a bad person.”
Ho Yo-seong smiled. In his opponent’s changed tone, he felt that his wariness towards himself had been diluted a lot.
“I hear it often. Sometimes I hear people say that I’m an asshole or something.”
“What kind of liver guys are like that?”
“The masters of the main school are quite arrogant. Even if they can’t openly say it, they gossip behind their backs. Didn’t Samgongjanim even pull out his sword?”
“I kept everything.”
“If possible, tell me that you have a good memory. How can I not forget?”
Xu Liang snorted.
“Anyway, it was a very interesting meeting. Then let’s go on our way.”
“Eh? Are you going?”
“sure?”
“Aren’t you going to the Cheonma Byeongchang? How about a drink with me?”
Seo Liang was amazing.
“Are you going to have a sweet drink with someone out of curiosity and even planning to send one of them to prison? I told you beforehand, but I don’t have to go to the Cheonma Byeongchang.”
“You promised.”
“What promise do you make?”
“You agreed to have a drink with me in return for letting me into the Cheonma Byeongchang.”
“So even if you say you don’t need it.”
Ho Yo-seong’s expression became noticeably sullen.
“No matter what, I thought you were a person who kept his promises.”
“I didn’t know that General Commander was such an evil person.”
“I mean, I stayed up all night for today and finished my work.”
“Is there any reason why I should know that?”
“yes.”
“What is it?”
“Didn’t you send an escort to the Lord of Joy?”
“… … .”
“Even though you already guessed my intentions, you sent it, isn’t it to warn her, not to find out something from the Lord of Joy? Be careful in the future.”
The sage’s eyes twitched.
Ho Yoseong smiled.
“As a result, I was stigmatized as someone who cannot be trusted by the former Lord Hwanhee. How will you take responsibility?”
amazing.
Xu Liang genuinely admired the other’s sharp eyes. He was surprised to find out who he sent Madong-pil to, but the sense of urgency he was able to figure out at once was truly amazing.
“Then you shouldn’t have touched me.”
“Did you know it would turn out like this?”
Aside from that extravagance, he is a shameless human being.
Seo Liang sighed.
“great. Governor Lee Wangjisa, let’s have a drink or a binge.”
“An excellent choice.”
“Before that, we will stop by the Heavenly Horse Armory.”
“Oh, of course. Would half a sight be enough? Have the kids set the table in advance… … .”
“What is it?”
“yes?”
Seo Liang looked at Ho Yo-seong with eyes wondering if there were all these naive people.
Ho Yo-seong’s face was immediately stained with embarrassment.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is one examination not enough?”
“They said they would let you into the Heavenly Demon Brigade.”
“Is that so?”
“I’m sure you said you’d let me in ‘once’, didn’t I say you had to bring ‘one bag’?”
“… … !”
“It will take half a day, not half an hour, to look around and pack a few bags.”
Ho Yo-seong opened his mouth wide.
Said with a face full of annoyance.
“Let’s go. And if you’re going to ask the kids to set the table, ask them to bring out three or four well-boiled ducks. These days, it tastes so good.”
“No, Gongja… … .”
“By the way, I like plain things. I won’t eat it if it’s seasoned or has a strong scent.”
Seo-ryang walks away after finishing his words.
Ho Yo-seong, who had been staring blankly at the light back, burst out laughing.
“This is Won, how long has it been since you’ve been hit in the back of the head?”
* * *
I asked for a drink or a binge, but Seo-ryang only emptied a couple of bottles and then got up. It was to learn the weapons brought from the barracks.
Seoryang returns home with a bag big enough to fit a single person.
Ho Yo-seong’s face, which had been watching him from behind with drunken eyes, became more and more serious.
“People don’t know until they meet… … So Wonju was right.”
He is a person that cannot be described in a few words. As for who wouldn’t, there was something special about Xu Liang.
“I mean, I can’t figure it out at all.”
Among common people, even when they are over 15, there is talk of marriage, and in their mid-twenties, they form a family and establish a foundation for life.
But Moorim is different. Under the premise that talent is outstanding, the mid-twenties were just an age to be a newcomer who was just about to stand out.
It is common sense in Moorim to see that a person is at their peak when they are over forty.
Therefore, Xiliang is a newbie. It was normal to see it that way.
However, the Xiliang I saw today was by no means a novice.
“It looks light at first glance, but it is by no means light. You can get a glimpse of your own subjective way of looking at the world with the words you spit out once in a while.”
Hoyoseong’s eyes flashed.
“It’s as if Noh Kang-ho, who has gone through all the battles in childbirth, was reborn with the body of a young man.”
It has been almost seven or eight years since the two of them met privately.
However, Ho Yo-seong knew everything about how Xi Liang lived. It was a natural thing to do as a military commander to understand the personalities and martial arts of the disciples of the cult leader.
If he had lived as cruelly and ambitiously as he knew, he would never be able to show himself like that. In the first place, Xi Liang’s personality itself was not like that.
‘There’s something.’
Ho Yo-seong, who had been thinking deeply, sighed.
“Well, since I went in and out of the match, there’s no doubt about it.”
At least he is not a person who will harm Protestantism. So, the teacher must have left the Three Gongja alone.
‘but… … .’
Ho Yo-seong looked up at the sky.
Countless stars were captured and twinkling all over the dark sky.
“It’s exciting. What kind of wind is the wind brought by the Three Gongja who have abandoned the past and transformed?”
Is it the cold wind of winter or the spring wind that smells like spring?
Or is it a bloody bloody wind?
“Look.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Let’s put a message in the Demon Shrine.”
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes shone.
“Tell the principal that I will see you tomorrow morning.”
