Episode 41 The brain starts with the task and then moves on (5)

Grrrrrr.

The brilliant liquid filling the glass gave off a fragrant scent.

Wei Hongryun frowned.

“Why are you pouring and drinking?”

“Take what you get and drink it. “Consider it an honor just to follow along.”

“….”

“Follow me.”

Wei Hongryeon, who was looking at Seoliang silently, filled his cup.

Xu Liang chuckled.

“You don’t do anything childish.”

“It’s a gift in return.”

“return courtesy? “What in return?”

“….”

“Ah, as a gift in return for keeping you all intact?”

“….”

“It’s unusual to hold weight.”

As Seo-ryang emptied his cup, Wei Hong-ryeon also emptied his cup.

A small drinking table was set up between the two. As Seo-ryang said, she really brought snacks.

Xiliang glanced back.

Ma Dong-pil was standing with his back turned and a dull face. His eyes were fixed on Wei Hongryeon.

“Dongpil, don’t you drink?”

“I am okay.”

“If you’re not going to drink, why don’t you go in and rest instead of holding on?”

“It’s not possible.”

“huh?”

“Isn’t it possible that the Great Lord Gwangma might go on a rampage? “I will definitely stop you today.”

The corners of Wei Hongryeon’s mouth rose. It was a pretty evil-looking smile.

“Do you think you can stop me?”

“….”

“what? “Why aren’t you answering?”

Ma Dong-pil still did not react. He was just busy glaring at her with his eyes as strong as rocks.

Wei Hongryun’s expression became increasingly cold.

“You made someone who doesn’t even know the subject your subordinate, Confucius.”

“why? “Do you think that friend is worse than you?”

“I’ll give you a light horse.”

“I know, bitch.”

“I don’t have the skills to lose to the leader of the defense court.”

Xu Liang chuckled and filled Wei Honglian’s cup.

“It’s the third leader. And it’s growing fast.”

“So you were cocky. “It looks like he’s learned a few decent martial arts skills recently.”

“Aren’t you being too arrogant? “With your current physical condition, I think Dongpil definitely has the upper hand.”

Wei Hongryeon, who was twitching her lips, emptied her glass.

Seo-ryang filled her cup again.

“Anyway, what are these snacks?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“The scent is too strong.”

“Once you get used to it, nothing tastes as good as this.”

“Anyway, your social skills are so poor. “If you come here to drink, think about the other person, okay?”

Wei Honglian did not answer.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at her blankly, held out his hand.

“I don’t have any money.”

“Who wants to give money? “Give me your hand.”

“yes?”

“Give me your hand.”

“why…?”

“Do you think I’m going to beat you up now? Or do you think he’s going to do some trick? “If you want to give it to me, give it to me, you idiot, you don’t listen.”

Wei Hongryeon’s lips twitched again.

But for a moment, she held out her hand.

“hmm.”

Seo-ryang, holding her pulse, frowned.

“what? “I don’t think it was an internal injury because of me.”

“Did you do that because of your physical condition?”

“Then I thought you did it to curry favor? “I’m going crazy with this.”

“….”

“Well, I don’t think it was an internal injury from a blow. aha? “It’s because of the cold of the solitary confinement.”

“….”

Uuuuuung.

Wei Hongryun’s eyes wavered.

The concentration of demonic energy pouring in through the veins without saying a word was truly amazing.

It hit me like it was a red-hot flame, and for a moment I thought my forearm was going to burn up.

But even for a moment.

Slurp.

All the chill that had penetrated all over my five organs evaporated. It was easier to catch the Dark Spirit Magic Gong because it was a heat-yang attack.

As Wei Hongryun’s complexion became much more relaxed, Xi Liang took his hand off her pulse.

“I have no taste for drinking with the sick.”

“I can’t thank you enough.”

“What idiot in the world would expect a thank you from a fool like you?”

“….”

“Have a drink.”

While he was emptying his glass in silence, it was Seoryang who spoke first.

“So, as soon as you were released, why did you come all the way here without resting?”

“Didn’t you tell me to come if you wanted to have a drink?”

“So, I’m asking, why did you come here without taking a break?”

“That’s my heart…”

“Hey.”

“….”

“Do you think you’ve done anything other than play with words since you came here?”

“….”

“I guess I drank in moderation. Stop talking nonsense and tell me if you have anything to say.”

“I don’t have anything to say.”

“You don’t have anything to say, but you even brought snacks with you? “At this late hour?”

“As I said before, this is my sincerity for causing you trouble.”

The word ‘sincerity’ came out of Wei Hongryeon’s mouth.

It was a word that really did not suit her. It was something I would never have said out loud if the other person wasn’t at the level of a third-rate person.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at her silently, nodded.

“good. Well, if that’s how you feel, then let’s have a drink.”

“It’s so salty.”

“I understand.”

Xu Liang grumbled and emptied his glass.

Wei Hongryeon, who had been quietly looking at him who did not lift his chopsticks even once while drinking, asked.

“Do you not like snacks that much?”

“Did you think I was lying?”

“Shall I bring another snack?”

…what?

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

“yes?”

“It seems like a line in a completely different context from my previous personality came out just now?”

“….”

Wei Honglian emptied his glass once again. Even though he was emptying his glass quite quickly, he didn’t seem particularly drunk.

Xiliang sighed.

“Damn, I never thought I’d come here just to drink. uh? I already emptied the entire bottle. Dongpil! “Bring a couple more bottles.”

Ma Dong-pil left. Even the moment I left the door, my eyes were fixed on Wei Hongryeon.

Wei Honglian snorted.

“You’re so loyal, Guan Yu, go away.”

“You too, watch and learn.”

“Aren’t you feeling stuffy?”

“Why do I feel uncomfortable? He is a person who devotes himself to me.”

“Isn’t that love beyond devotion?”

“You’re coming out again. “It breaks my head.”

“It will be helpful in the future fight.”

“It’s a disaster. “Why did I bring Dongpil into a fight…”

Seoryang paused for a moment, his eyes shining.

Wei Hongryeon shook the empty bottle.

“There is a little bit left. “I will follow you.”

“What do you mean?”

“….”

“Don’t be nervous. If you’re going to say something, say it clearly. “Don’t waste your time drinking.”

A little confusion appeared on Wei Honglian’s face.

“…Honestly, I’m worried.”

“what.”

“May I tell Confucius this?”

“Did you come to calm down and drink alcohol first? Or rather, what does that mean?”

Wei Hongryun looked down at her glass without answering.

This time, Seoryang also waited for her. This is because I read that he was genuinely worried, rather than just weighing it like before.

After a while, Ma Dong-pil came carrying two bottles of alcohol.

At the same time, his eyes also changed. He also realized that the atmosphere in the room was different from before.

Seoryang, who received alcohol from Ma Dong-pil, filled Wei Hongryun’s cup.

Wei Hongryeon emptied her glass as if she had been waiting. Then Seoyang filled her cup once again.

After emptying the glass three times in a row, Wei Hongryeon finally opened her mouth.

“How much do you trust that guy?”

Ma Dong-pil was where she pointed with her chin.

Xu Liang answered seriously.

“We have saved each other’s lives several times.”

It meant absolute trust. Ma Dong-pil bowed his head as if he was at a loss.

Wei Hongryun smiled.

It was a bitter smile that didn’t seem like it would come off her face easily.

“I’m really jealous of that.”

“So what are you trying to say?”

“True Demon Lord.”

“…what?”

“Jinma Daeju will move.”

Jinma Daeju.

It is one of the civil war combat units and its level is the same as that of the Gwangmadae.

Gwangmadae had the upper hand in infamy, but Jinmadae was a group with legitimacy.

A historical unit that has existed since the first establishment of the Heavenly Demon Church. Naturally, the pride of the demons there was sky-high.

Xiliang’s eyes sparkled.

“I guess Jinma Daeju was there too.”

Wei Hongryun nodded.

This is a fact that was not written on the latest relationship chart given by So Yeon-sim. It was a moment to confirm that although it was definitely a reliable document, it was not omnipotent.

“But why is he moving?”

“Daeju Jinma is like a fox. “I would never do anything that would harm me.”

“Is this something you’re especially careful about?”

“That’s right.”

“That guy moves all of a sudden? “Is there something you want to gain?”

“Me.”

“…?”

“There are times when a guy who is so protective of himself moves without thinking. “Most of them are because of me.”

“why? Does he even like you? “You have unique tastes.”

“I think I like it so much that I want to kill it.”

It means that the relationship is extremely bad. Seoliang tilted his head.

“I don’t want to know why we became like that. What I’m curious about is why he’s going to move now…”

“…”

“Are you sure he’s attached to the fourth?”

“To be exact, it seems like I was caught by a boatman.”

“what is that?”

“I don’t know either. I’m not even sure. However, since I bumped into him so much, I now know him just by looking at his face. “He clearly has a weakness against the boatman.”

“So what you’re saying is that the one who moves the horse is Jinma Daeju, but the one who swings it is the fourth.”

“As a result, the boatman moves.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“It’s a gift in return.”

“….”

“And I think it would be okay to hold hands with Confucius. Anyway, I think Confucius wants to punish Prince Shi, right?”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes distorted. Even with her grumpy tone, isn’t she truly an arrogant woman who dares to think of Confucius?

But Xu Liang’s smile was still bright.

He filled Wei Hongryun’s cup.

“Let’s build a temporary united front or something?”

“If you don’t like it, you can leave. “I have fought well so far on my own.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not the type of person to just ignore something interesting. Besides, it seems like you want to take this opportunity to break the chain of evil?”

“…That’s right.”

The two people raised their glasses.

“Are you sure you can take charge of Jinma Daeju?”

“I will try to catch you properly before Confucius knocks you down. “I already felt bad about leaving it alone, but it turned out well.”

“I like your spirit.”

Jjiing!

The two people clinked their glasses.

After emptying his glass, Seoryang looked at Ma Dongpil and smiled.

“You said you remember the first time you saw Nokchok, right?”

“…yes.”

“I thought everything was over right under my nose, but the main stage was separate. Do you want to put on one leg too?”

“of course.”

Seo-ryang pointed to the seat next to him.

“Bring me another glass.”

* * *

“You went to Xiliang’s residence?”

“That’s right.”

Hong Wei-moon chuckled.

“Anyway, in many ways, it goes beyond common sense. I really thought he was going to turn himself in, but suddenly it was an attempted murder? Without even touching me.”

“Isn’t that upholding loyalty?”

“In addition, we also protected the crew. “Because I’m secretly certain about that.”

Shinhoe said with a stern face.

“But I don’t think that’s the end of it. “He may be the type of person who doesn’t know where things will go, but he’s not that reckless of a person.”

“that’s right.”

“Nevertheless, if you risked the three princes and surrendered yourself to the penal court… I think it must be seen that there was some kind of deal with the three princes.”

“of course. In the first place, he was acquitted because of that guy Seoryang’s testimony. “It’s hard to do that if you don’t agree in advance.”

“But if you’re going to be released anyway, why bother…”

“The crew members were saved, and Jamiru was also at risk. And the existence of me cannot be ignored.”

“ah! “Then, for Lord Gwangma, the Penal Court would have been the safest place from all threats.”

“okay. “It’s just that I don’t know what the deal is.”

Hong Yu-moon, who was deep in thought, scratched his head.

“It’s not difficult to guess, but the problem is that nothing is certain.”

“….”

“In times like this, it would be best to nudge it with a good toy.”

Shinhoe asked cautiously.

“Are you planning on using Jinma Daeju?”

“Are you sure? “That person has been in trouble more than once.”

“That’s true.”

“No matter how much you think about it, you only waste time and gain nothing. Now is not the time to worry, it is the time to move.”

Hong Wi-moon filled Gombangdae with tobacco.

The color of the beginning of the year was a darker purple than before.

“Put a flue in the head of Jinma.”
