Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 121



Only Noblemtl

Episode 121. Unexpected Movement (1)

At the same time, Hanam Jeongga Gajujeon.

After some of the cleanup was finished, Gaju Jeongmu-ryong faced Hanbin.

Hanbin was checking the contents of his chest with a kind face.

It was a necklace that I had not taken off my body since I left for Hanamjeongga.

Hanbin’s expression as he checked the necklace was brighter than ever.

In some ways, he seemed like a vain monk who had attained enlightenment.

On the other hand, Jeong Mu-ryong was at a loss as to what to say.

Jeong Mu-ryong looked at Han Bin for a moment.

When Gaju Jeongmu-ryong meets someone, he looks them in the eye.

When you look into someone’s eyes, you can feel the depth of life. However, it was difficult to measure the depth of those eyes that had no greed.

The head of the household, Jeong Mu-ryong, who had been drinking tea continuously, quietly opened his mouth.

“Daehyeop, I should first thank you for saving my family.”

Hanbin quickly waved his hand.

“As I said last time, the title of Great Swordsman is not appropriate. I also feel burdened when the absolute ruler of Hanam calls me that.”

“If you don’t give the title of Great Hero to the person who saved Hanam Jeongga, then who will you give the title to?”

This is Jeong Mu-ryong’s true heart.

However, Hanbin answered with a light smile.

“I did not save Hanam Jeongga, but only did my best for the entire Jeongpa. So please take away the title of Daehyeop. And if we are related by blood, wouldn’t that make me a relative?”

Hanbin made a kind face and drew a line at the corner of his mouth.

Half of what Hanbin said was true.

It wasn’t my intention to save Hanam Jeongga.

The purpose of this plan was to cut ties with Madame Jeonghwa and complete the Yonglin Sword Technique.

However, the words that he was a close relative by blood were sincere.

Peng Gang-wi was Jeong Mu-ryong’s son-in-law, so he was like a maternal grandfather to Han Bin.

At Hanbin’s words, Gaju Jeongmu-ryong stroked his beard and spat.

“hmm…….”

Just like a shaman or a volcano expert, Jeong Mu-ryong’s eyes are free of any greed.

His hand, which was stroking his beard, stopped.

“Even though Jeong-hwa was a monk, there was still a little bit of affection left from our bloodline. But now, there is no such relationship.”

“then······.”

As Hanbin narrowed his eyes and trailed off, Jeong Mu-ryong’s gaze changed.

“Jeonghwa is no longer my daughter.”

“That was a difficult decision.”

Hanbin nodded with a somber expression.

Of course, it was just a polite gesture.

One of the teeth that was aching has fallen out.

However, Hanbin’s story did not end here.

Now, his gloomy expression changed to a sharp one, as if it was time to drive the nail in.

Jeong Mu-ryong asked at that expression.

“What’s the matter?”

“Aren’t you curious, my lord?”

“Are you curious?”

“Daughter, did the Hancheol chest that Madam Jeonghwa sent contain the real Qingming Pill from Kunlun?”

“hmm,”

Jeong Mu-ryong let out a small sigh.

“You’ll have to check this yourself. What I gave to Jeong Hwi-ji is not the Hancheol chest that Madam Jeong Hwa gave you.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked at Jang Ja-myeong next to him.

Jang Ja-myeong, whose eyes met Han Bin’s, took something out of his luggage and handed it to Han Bin.

Jeong Mu-ryong’s eyes widened when he saw the object.

That’s because the iron railing was clear.

Hanbin continued speaking while pushing the Hancheol rail towards Jeong Mu-ryong on the other side.

“Let’s check the sealed seal.”

“all right.”

Jeong Mu-ryong narrowed his eyes as he lifted the Hancheol box and checked the seal.

Hanbin continued speaking with a serious expression.

“This is the Hancheol chest that Madam Jeonghwa gave me. If you look at the seal, you will be able to confirm its authenticity.”

“This is indeed the seal of purification that has been used since the Hanamjeongga. If so, then the one I used last time······.”

When Jeong Mu-ryong trailed off, Han Bin continued.

“It’s fake. It may not cure the disease, but it will help.”

“Then, at that time, I told you to pretend that you lost consciousness and your condition worsened······.”

“It’s to see what happens after that. Jeong Hwi-ji acted like the fake Cheongmyeong-hwan was poison, right?”

“······.”

“I think that the chest that Madam Jeonghwa handed over was probably filled with poison. Whether or not you confirm this is entirely up to you, Master.”

“hmm.”

Gaju Jeongmu-ryong let out a low groan and looked at Hancheol Gwi and Hanbin alternately.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure flashed through his previously calm eyes.

The first time I met Hanbin was a few days ago at dawn.

He felt ashamed as ever when he saw two servants coming in to collect his urine.

The absolute ruler of Hanam can’t even tell between shit and piss?

After collapsing from an unknown illness, Jeong Mu-ryong remained in this state.

Sometimes I felt like dying, but seeing my family fall apart gave me the will to get back up again.

Before the servant came in, Jeong Mu-ryong prayed to the gods of heaven and earth.

He said he would give his life if his family was saved.

And then a miracle happened.

Hanbin and Jang Ja-myeong hid in their quarters and treated Jeong Mu-ryong day and night.

On the first day, I regained sensation in my limbs, and on the second day, I was able to send energy to my limbs.

The time they spent treating Jeong Mu-ryong was practically two days.

Jeong Mu-ryong thought of Han Bin as a god sent from heaven.

However, after seeing Hanbin’s inaction in the Gajujeon, he changed his mind.

A flower at a young age?

Of course, this was an illusion caused by Hanbin’s use of bluff, but that’s what Gaju Jeongmu-ryong thought.

I changed my mind and decided that in just ten years, he would be the person who would reign over the world of martial arts.

But once again, my opinion on Hanbin changed.

Now that I look at it, the strategy was no less than that of the Justice Alliance military.

What on earth is Hanbin’s true identity?

Is it God?

Could this be a martial talent bestowed by heaven?

Or maybe Zhuge Liang was reborn?

Amidst numerous questions, Jeong Mu-ryong quietly placed the Hancheol chest in his arms.

Even if there was poison in there as Hanbin said, he wanted to keep that to himself.

Hanbin, who was looking at the gloomy Jeong Mu-ryong, stood up from his seat.

“With this, I have completed my escort mission from Habukpangga to Hanamjeongga.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin quietly took the lottery ticket.

I wanted to tell Jeong Mu-ryong everything while treating him.

However, Jeong Mu-ryong’s physical condition was more serious than expected, so treatment took priority.

The first priority was to resolve the incident occurring in Hanamjeongga.

Now that everything was explained, the mission was completely over.

At the sight of Han Bin, Jeong Mu-ryong also stood up and said while giving a winning ticket.

“You are being too harsh, Grandmaster.”

“Now, please take away the title of Great Swordsman.”

“If the title of Great Hyup is burdensome, let’s call him Small Hyup for the time being.”

“Please lower your voice. Next time we meet, I will greet you as the youngest prince of the Peng family. It doesn’t seem right.”

“Haha, then I guess I’ll do that.”

Jeong Mu-ryong let out a low laugh.

Because I knew what Hanbin meant.

The one who calls himself a great swordsman is the Envoy of Cheongun.

However, Hanbin did not want to reveal that he was the Envoy of Cheongun.

Jeong Mu-ryong was impressed by this point.

Where is there a person without a sense of resonance?

The master of Hwagyeong doesn’t reveal himself?

All I could do was laugh in vain.

How much effort did you put into raising Jeong Hwi-ji as the best swordsman in Hanam?

And how much did Hanam Jeongga boast about the fact that there was a master named Jeong Hwi-ji?

However, Habukpengga kept the secret even after raising a master of Hwagyeong.

Jeong Mu-ryong suddenly became afraid of Habuk Pengga’s power.

However, he intended to keep the secret about his benefactor, Hanbin, until the very end.

At the end of a long laugh, Jeong Mu-ryong said.

“Then I have one question for you, Sohyeop.”

“Please speak, sir.”

“How can I repay this favor? I am so sorry.”

At that question, Hanbin looked at Jeong Mu-ryong silently with shining eyes.

For a moment, the room was suddenly enveloped in silence.

Jeong Mu-ryong waited for Han Bin’s answer without rushing him.

When the silence became awkward, Hanbin opened his mouth and raised one finger.

“There is only one thing I want.”

Jeong Mu-ryong tilted his upper body, forgetting about his family’s dignity, at the sight of Han Bin’s serious gaze.

“What is it?”

“I would like to confiscate all of Madam Jeonghwa’s assets and have her manage them.”

Hanbin waited for Gaju Jeongmu Ryong’s answer with a blank expression that showed no greed.

Jeong Mu-ryong was lost in thought for a moment.

His daughter, Jeonghwa, continued to manage several interests even after she became a nun in Habukpengga.

Hanbin’s words were asking for it.

He asked how he could repay the favor, but Jeong Mu-ryong did not know how to make such a specific request.

They say that a word is worth a thousand words, but I had to know the reason.

I was even more curious because I thought Hanbin had no greed for materialism or fame.

Jeong Mu-ryong asked with eyes full of curiosity.

“May I ask why? I’m asking because I don’t think it’s just greed, Sohyeop. You don’t have to answer, so don’t take it to heart.”

“It’s because I want to uncover all the atrocities that Madam Jeonghwa committed in Habukpang. I believe that the vested interests of the Hanam political family are behind everything Madam Jeonghwa did.”

“hmm.”

Gaju Jeongmu-ryong let out a sigh.

Hanbin’s intention was clear. He intended to clip his arch-rival’s wings.

The worry didn’t last long.

“Good. I’ll make sure to take care of it.”

Jeong Mu-ryong’s intention was also simple.

Jeong Mu-ryong also wants to cut ties with not only his daughter, Lady Jeong Hwa, but also his blood relatives, Pang Mu-bin and Pang Gyeong-bin.

“thank you.”

When Hanbin bowed his head slightly, Jeong Mu-ryong waved his hand.

“No. That’s something I should have taken care of in advance, Sohyeop.”

At Jeong Mu-ryong’s words, Han Bin glanced back.

Jang Ja-myeong, who was standing next to him, lowered his head with an expression that said, “It was meant to be.”

Jang Ja-myeong was surprised by Han Bin’s actions, but there were times when he wanted to run away like he did now.

Anyone who saw what Hanbin did in Hanam Jeongga could call it great heroism.

However, what Hanbin would do next was the problem.

Hanbin lightly snapped his fingers, not paying attention to Jang Ja-myeong’s bowed head.

Exactly!

At that sight, Gaju Jeongmu-ryong tilted his head in surprise.

Hanbin’s actions were that sudden.

However, Jang Ja-myeong nodded his head.

As if I knew it.

The door opened when Jeong Mu-ryong’s tilted head had not yet found its place.

Swish!

Someone ran lightly through the open door.

It was none other than a fairy tale.

Jeong Mu-ryong narrowed his eyes.

She was a girl who seemed to have no martial arts skills, but her skill with a dagger was extraordinary.

I was surprised by the cute girl’s hand and was about to ask her about her identity when she came in at that very moment.

Seolhwa unpacked her bundle on the table without even looking at Gaju Jeongmu-ryong.

Chorus.

As the bundle was unpacked, Gaju Jeongmu-ryong’s head tilted even further.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what the situation was.

Seolhwa carefully spread out the hanji on the table, paying no attention to Jeong Mu-ryong’s gaze.

Then he poured ink from the log onto the inkstone and said:

“Your Majesty, I just came back from my room after eating.”

“Okay. Thank you, Seolhwa.”

Jeong Mu-ryong couldn’t stand the conversation between the two and asked.

“What the hell is going on? Small business.”
