Chapter 60
Episode 60 Even a tyrant can be a hero (5)
Tsk tsk tsk.
“….”
Crumbling.
“….”
“Ouch! Hey, give me that over there. “Is that duck meat?”
“…Are you asking for this without even knowing what it is?”
“The color is pretty. That’s enough, give it to me. “I’m starving.”
“Oh yeah.”
“I’ll order a drink too.”
“Would you like one bottle? “I’ll order five or six bottles.”
“Like that.”
The sight of Seoryang scooping up all kinds of food into his mouth was truly reminiscent of that of a seeker. It was the first time Wei Hongryun knew that a person whose eyes were turned upside down by appetite could feel pious.
She asked as she filled Seoryang’s cup with a worried look on her face.
“Confucius. “Now if you’ve eaten in moderation, can you tell me?”
“I didn’t eat enough.”
“….”
“Give me some stir-fried vegetables as well.”
“Here you go.”
It took less than two hours for the food to fill the five men to be gone.
“Keuuk! Phew, I’ll live now.”
“Didn’t the criminal court give you food?”
“I gave it to you. “It’s tasteless sour rice and dried vegetable scraps.”
“Huh?! “Still, you gave me that kind of food even though you were the Three Dukes?”
“Isn’t it natural for incarcerated prisoners to be treated equally? “You shouldn’t receive preferential treatment just because you’re a three-year-old.”
“You dare say such things when you don’t even have a good impression of them.”
“Because facts are facts.”
Seoliang quickly poured out the alcohol and rinsed his mouth a few times.
There are people who find it strange to drink that strong liquor after rinsing their mouths. Wei Hongryeon clicked her tongue with a look of disgust on her face.
Ma Dong-pil asked.
“If you do this, you will no longer be able to touch Confucius in the penal court.”
“That’s right. Actually, there is nothing to touch. In the case of Wei Daeju and Jinma Daeju, in the end, they were just involved in the Hongwimun fight with me.”
“Fortunately, the.”
“Thank God, I don’t have to sleep. Don’t they say, “Don’t worry about life.” “I passed with ease this time, but I don’t know what will happen next time I get involved.”
Wei Hongryeon thought it was fascinating again.
‘Is it true that you are younger than me?’
The Three Dukes were said to be still in their early to mid twenties.
It’s not true that skill and insight keep up with age, but the three gongjas are a bit harsh. Noh Kang-ho’s occasional glimpses of what kind of life he had been leading were quite a slap in the face.
in short.
‘Young old man.’
It’s not an expression suitable for a grown adult, but there’s no other way to express it.
Wei Hongryun, who was thinking about Xiliang in her mind, flinched. This is because he recognized Seoryang’s gaze looking at him blankly.
“Great Lord.”
“yes?”
“What are you doing? My glass is empty. “Follow me.”
“Che, you can pour it yourself and eat it.”
“If that’s the case, why did you keep following me?”
“Did I do that?”
“done. Would you like a drink too?”
“Good.”
Seo-ryang, who was trying to fill her glass, stopped.
“Why are you here anyway? “Aren’t you working?”
“Well, there was no separate order from the higher-ups. “It’s on standby.”
“Can I drink while waiting?”
“At this level, it doesn’t even matter. “You know what.”
“You’re doing a good job, you’re worth a lot of money.”
As I say that, I fill up my glass again. Wei Hongryeon grumbled that he was doing it for no reason, even though he said he would follow along.
Ma Dong-pil asked.
“So is it all over now?”
“Uh, for now.”
“On the part of the public servants and the higher-ups….”
“Hong Wei-mun has become an asshole and cannot move, and the fight between the candidates at the higher-ups is in a quiet mood, so it won’t be a big deal.”
Seoyang buried his back in the chair. His face showed fatigue for some reason.
“It’s settled for now.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Oh, I guess I had a bit of a hard time this time.”
Fighting is a fight, but it drains a lot of mental energy.
From the beginning, he was vulnerable to such complicated conflicts. Maybe it was because I didn’t just pick one guy and beat him to death, but my head was sore.
“You guys worked hard too. “You’re running around here and there for no reason because of me.”
“How can you say that?”
Wei Hongryeon nodded, tearing off a duck leg.
“It was hard. “The internal wounds haven’t healed yet.”
Ma Dong-pil looked at her with accusatory eyes. Considering what Wei Hongryeon did in the middle, he shouldn’t have said something like that even with empty words.
Xu Liang chuckled.
“Yes, it was hard. Anyway, thanks to you, I was able to beat that guy one by one.”
“lol. “I thought Confucius would recognize it.”
“Okay, now it’s over.”
The two men and women widened their eyes at the sudden words.
Seoyang stood up, leaning on the table.
“Now that this and that matter is roughly over, let’s go back to our respective organizations. “Daeju above, and especially Dongpil, were very attached to me.”
“…yes?”
“Are you just protecting the law? It’s not an ordinary crew, it’s three crew members each. “I have to return to the field.”
“Ah…”
“And the Great Lord above.”
Wei Hongryun’s face hardened.
“You too, don’t run around and act like a leader properly.”
“Even if you don’t say that, I’m doing it right.”
“Yes, you can do that. As before.”
“….”
“I’ve already eaten everything, so I’ll just go in now. “Worry about the cherry blossoms.”
With those words, Seo-ryang went down the stairs, leaving only Ma Dong-pil and Wi Hong-ryeon left on the fifth floor.
“….”
Breaking the strange silence for a while, Wei Hongryun grumbled and raised his glass.
“You really are a person with no affection. “Do you really have to cut it off so coldly?”
I didn’t specifically mean to end the relationship, but the words “get back to your job” kept lingering in my mind.
Wi Hongryeon, who drank three or four more glasses, finally revealed her true feelings.
“Tch, I’m so sorry. “Still, there’s a sense of loyalty in causing trouble together, but you’re going too far.”
Well, even if it wasn’t what the Three Princes said, it was something that would happen in the end.
If you think about it, it could be the Three Princes’ own consideration. Don’t worry about unnecessary things and concentrate on your main job.
Wei Hongryeon said to Ma Dongpil.
“Isn’t that right…”
She couldn’t say any more.
Ma Dong-pil’s face was as blunt as usual. But for some reason, Wei Hongryun found it difficult to talk to him easily.
As she looked at Ma Dong-pil, she scratched her head.
“Um… I have some alcohol left. Would you like to have a drink?”
“….”
“hey.”
“….”
“Not if you don’t want to drink it.”
“Give it to me.”
“huh? drink?”
Ma Dong-pil did not speak twice. Wei Hongryun savored his appetite and filled his cup.
We went through three rounds of worship without conversation.
Wei Hongryeon, who was secretly observing Ma Dongpil, opened his mouth.
“Are you sad?”
“It’s not like that.”
“But why is your expression all distorted?”
“…just.”
Ma Dong-pil sighed. He has been sighing particularly often lately.
“That’s just how I feel.”
It seems like something I can understand. Moreover, unlike himself, Ma Dong-pil stayed with the Three Confucius for almost a year.
Wei Hongryun filled his cup again.
“They say that’s the case with all human relationships. Well, it may feel like shit, but what can you do? “There is no justification.”
“….”
“We’ll meet again later. “It’s not like you’re going anywhere.”
It was then.
“Wow!!”
“Invincible Christianity! Manmaangbok! Meet the Three Princes….”
“You bastards! Quiet! “The Three Princes are passing by!”
“Huh?! hey! Get out of there! Confucius, don’t block the road!”
The two people were startled by the loud voice.
“What is it?”
After a while.
Uddangtangtang!
Seo-ryang took a breath as he climbed up at an incredible speed.
The two were even more surprised. This is because Seo-ryang’s face was pale.
“Confucius! “What’s going on?”
“Gasp!”
Seoliang quickly looked around and looked at the window, his eyes shining.
“Oh great! “There it is!”
He suddenly ran to the window, turned to the two people and shouted.
“You bastards! Stop drinking and go in! I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t have that much sense of responsibility….”
Kukukuk! Da da da da!
“Sigh! Those bastards?!”
Seoyang opened the window wide and jumped out.
“omg! Confucius?!”
Peeeeeeee!
Seoliang, who was flying in the air like a bird, plummeted towards the ground.
Quang!
Surprised, Ma Dong-pil ran to the window and looked down.
“Confucius!!”
Wei Hongryun’s eyes wavered.
I fell to the ground from a height of five stories. There wasn’t even a place to stand.
No matter how great an expert you are, if you fall from this height, you won’t end up breaking something.
“It’s okay….”
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The two people gaped.
The sight of Seoryang jumping around on one leg was quite comical. He had a bloody nose and scratches here and there on his body, but overall he looked very fine.
“Fuck you! “I almost got a bad leg!”
If it hadn’t been for the lower body that was polished with the Nine Heavens Chukji Shinbo, it wouldn’t have ended like this. He survived not because of his physical durability, but because of his agility and endurance.
Of course, even if it wasn’t necessary, it was a durability that was beyond human scope.
Seoliang looked up and pointed a point at the two.
“you guys! Drink in moderation before going in! okay?!”
With those words, Seoliang left Hwayangru. Even though he’s limping, he manages to use divine techniques, which is quite comical.
Ma Dong-pil, who was staring blankly at Seoryang, burst out laughing without realizing it.
Wei Hongryeon scratched her head.
“It’s Kim Sae-ni for some reason. Right?”
“exactly.”
“Anyway, why all of a sudden…”
At that time, people came rushing to the fifth floor as if they had been waiting.
They were the demons of the civil war. Although they had different affiliations as well as different appearances, they were all similar in their excited expressions.
“what? Confucius, where have you gone?!”
“Surely by the window?”
“Huh! really?”
“That’s amazing. “I heard you got into a fight with the head of the Criminal Justice Department, and indeed, your martial arts skills are as great as your personality!”
“Wow! “I really wanted to say hello to you separately.”
Noisy and noisy. There was literally no market.
Wei Hongryeon, who was watching them from afar, grabbed Mine who was nearby and asked.
“hey.”
“what!”
It was Majin’s mistake as he did not know that the opponent was the Great Lord of Gwangma. However, because he was so excited, even Wei Honglian did not take responsibility for it.
“What’s wrong with you? “Is there any problem with the Three Princes?”
“problem? What a problem! “What are you saying such ugly things?!”
Wei Hongryun’s face became pale.
“Then why are you making such a fuss?”
“Isn’t it said that the Three Dukes struck the head of the criminal court with a single sword?”
“Why is that…”
At that moment, Wei Hongryun opened her mouth. Because now I finally understand why these simple ignorant guys are making such a fuss.
Unlike the defense court, the penal court was infamous on campus. This is because if you are wrongly caught in the penal court, you will be charged with an additional crime and have to be imprisoned.
Even demons with a rebellious spirit had to turn a blind eye in front of the members of the Criminal Justice Party. But didn’t the Three Dukes even cut the scary and unlucky head of the penal code with a knife?
‘These guys aren’t even funny. That’s just the reason…’
She was dumbfounded and at that moment realized that the reason they were so enthusiastic wasn’t just that.
“You’re really annoying! Yes, that is Mine!”
“So, that’s right. Since when did we just gossip like political faction scum?!”
“I look forward to the three princes’ future moves.”
Ma Dong-pil laughed without realizing it.
They were enthusiastic not because the Three Dukes simply threw a sword at the infamous head of the criminal court, but because of the exciting life-and-death relationship with the Four Officials and the subsequent process.
The rumor that Xi Liang was engaged in a power struggle with Sangong was already known.
Then, they became fascinated by the brilliant fight that broke out yesterday and Seoryang’s generous actions.
‘But it’s none other than the Three Princes.’
It is common sense that candidates should kneel and greet them reverently as they pass by. They were so excited that they even forgot the obvious manners.
What excites them? Why do you get so excited about this?
‘Does this mean that the current Protestant religion is bound by strict and strong rules?’
Regardless of whether it was a political faction or a political faction, this was the Church of the Heavenly Demon.
The greatest virtue of a demon warrior is generosity, and if you are not hot, you are not a demon. The strict discipline introduced for the growth of the religion inevitably caused dissatisfaction among the Ma people.
This time, Seoryang cleared the road that was blocked on all sides.
There was a reason why they were so enthusiastic as they watched the candidates’ fight with anxious feelings.
Seoliang threw a sword at the head of the Penal Court, but in the end, he was tantamount to striking against the tight strictness of Protestantism. At least that’s how the demons saw it.
Wei Hongryeon turned her head to the window again.
Seoyang, who had been limping away, was disappearing into the distance.
“Mr. Ma.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Are you still upset?”
“exactly.”
A small smile appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s lips.
“Still, it doesn’t feel that bad.”
Wei Hongryun grinned.
“If we have time, let’s have a drink with these guys. I think they’re going crazy because they want to hear Confucius’ heroic stories.”
“But you have to return to the organization…”
“Then you can join.”
“….”
“Fall in?”
“Let’s just have one sijin.”
