Kingdom - Ch. 766 - Fellow Student and Friend

[Anderan90]

whether or not it worked out historically it is still the stupidest thing you could possibly do, letting a known traitor go free on the promise he's totally gonna not betray you this time. i somehow doubt it wasn't this stupid historically and the manga just messed it up, maybe they had his family hostage or something.

The thing is Youka had so deeply interwoven himself into Qin's intelligence network that killing him would basically destroy the entire thing. At this point it isn't really even known if he is a traitor, we only have Kan Pishi's word saying that he is. When the choice is to either take a nominal enemy at face value and decapitate your intelligence network, or gamble that your agent is still loyal and keep your intelligence network, the choice isn't nearly as stupid as it seems.

You beat me to it lol

Surely, at a minimum, important member of the court need to be aware of Youka's possible betrayal...

Convincing speech won.

Kan Pishi really be saying "Yes, I finally know what man's true nature is, IS FIRE, it came to me in a dream" with no stutter

Sorry but no, Youka was actually telling the truth all along to Rishi and doesn't intend to betray Rishi at all.

We will see about that in the next battle with Riboku. I am not sure how anyone could interpret the last few pages of Chapter 761 differently.

Also, Rishi now considers Kan Pishi a true friend and is sad that he died but still thinks that he lied about Youka.

Man, for a minute I thought Kyoukai and Shin were going to climb a mountain together or something

I just noticed now that Ri Shi's wife is his former classmate with that "I don't stare into space"
