Episode 125. Unexpected Movement (5)

At the same time, Baek Sa-mun’s main office.

While talking to Jin Sa-myeong about the plan to heroize Jeokryongdaehyeop, Ikjeol Seonsaeng Ma Hwi stopped the conversation.

Jinsa-myeong asked at that sight.

“Why are you like that, military?”

“Oh, no. I suddenly got chills.”

“Shall we close the window?”

“It’s okay. It’s not that kind of chill… … .”

Ma Hui waved his hand.

It definitely wasn’t the weather that gave me chills. It was a strangely ominous feeling of foreboding.

What on earth is the true nature of this ominousness?

There was only one thing that could give Ma Hui ominous feelings.

That was just a loss.

He was the kind of person who never did anything that would harm him since he was born.

Also targeting political parties.

This also applies to Sapa.

But this time, I was overcome with a sense of unease that I might suffer a loss.

Are you suffering a loss?

Is that even possible?

Ma Hui thought about his plan.

The Gangnam Apostolic Union was planning to provide Baek Sa-moon with all its support.

Baek Sa-mun only had to deal with manpower, and the rest had to be done by forming public opinion through information organizations.

Of course, Gangnam Sadoryeon provided the funds, but it was clearly not a losing business.

If it was a heroic tale that would touch their hearts, young people would pack their bags and flock to the Sadoyeon.

All we have to do is unify Gangnam and Gangbuk based on our growing power.

Considering the new unmanned forces that would flock in and the status of the Sadoyeon that would be established later, it was something that had to be carried out unconditionally by the Gangnam Sadoyeon.

Well, if we look at just the finances, the situation is a little different.

If Baek Sa-mun was to gain one-half of the profits, Gangnam Sado-ryeon was to gain seven-half of the profits.

This was an estimate of the future profits to be gained relative to the investment.

Then what about this?

That was the stake that Ma Hui would take.

Even if the Sado-ryeon and Baeksa-mun suffer losses.

Even if this plan fails.

Ma Hui himself was in a structure that could never be harmed.

But what is this unidentifiable sense of anxiety?

Ma Hui, whose words had been trailing off, smiled faintly and continued speaking.

“Haha, as I get older, I start to worry about everything.”

“I understand how you feel, General Ma Hui. Isn’t that natural, since you are in a very important position where you have to take responsibility for everything?”

“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty Jin.”

“Then please tell me more about your specific plans for the future.”

“Okay. I’ll start with the financial plan we were talking about earlier. So… … .”

Ma Hui regained his composure and continued his explanation with a smooth voice, as if his lips were covered in honey.

As his explanation continued, Baek Sa-mun-ju Jin Sa-myeong nodded without the slightest doubt.

Ma Hui’s speech was that excellent.

Meanwhile, Jin Se-mi, who came out to the conference room, tilted her head.

Because his subordinates were standing guard at the entrance to the palace.

At first glance, Soo-ha looked like she was in a fever.

Jin Se-mi tilted her head and recalled the instructions she had given them.

Those men were sent to accompany Musoyul of the Musi Sword Family, whom they met during the search.

I sent my luggage with him because he said he didn’t know the way to Hanamjeongga, but there was no way he would come back already.

Jin Se-mi tilted her head and walked towards her subordinate.

Jin Se-mi stopped in front of Suha and asked.

“How come you’re back already?”

The chief warrior among the subordinates answered with a small nod.

“In fact, I couldn’t even get near Hanamjeongga.”

“… … .”

When Jin Se-mi tilted her head without saying anything, Su-ha continued explaining.

“We had to separate near Hwanghaksan Mountain due to the lord’s order to gather. I apologize.”

Hwanghaksan Mountain was a shortcut to Hanamjeongga.

“No, that was enough of a favor.”

Jin Se-mi nodded.

This was Jin Se-mi’s true heart.

It was true that my determination as a Sapa person wavered for a moment as I frantically searched the riverside to find the Red Dragon.

It was the kindness shown to Musoyul that came out of the gap in that wavering heart.

At this moment, when the Gangnam Sadoyeon’s military commander had arrived and Jeokryong Daehyeop was nowhere to be found, it didn’t matter what happened to the person in charge, Musoyul.

Jin Se-mi said to her subordinate.

“Now that it’s done, you go to Yeongdansan.”

“Why Yeongdansan?”

“I have to find it.”

“Who?”

“The Red Dragon Swordsman!”

“If you can’t find it even after searching this much… … .”

“You don’t think he’s dead, do you?”

At Jin Se-mi’s gaze, Su-ha quickly waved his hand.

“Oh, no.”

Jin Se-mi sighed at the sight and turned her head.

There was an open window next to the conference room.

Today, the moon high in the sky felt unusually bright.

Jin Se-mi actually knew that too.

That means there is virtually no chance that Jeokryongdaehyeop is alive.

The next morning.

Hanbin hasn’t come out of the master’s office yet.

Anyone who saw him would ask what he could find to eat in the cold training room, but Hanbin actually had something to look for.

Hanbin now had to find the arrangement he had confirmed in his previous life in this training room.

It was the ultimate sword that was said to be somewhere in the Hanamjeongga Yeongongsil.

A sword that will be destroyed by the Demonic Cult ten years later.

How did the Demonic Cult know?

What ultimate secret weapon could the damaged sword contain?

The legendary sword that no one knew was a sword until the Demonic Cult damaged it.

What, is that a sword that represents a quick sword?

Or maybe it was just a prank by one of the founders of Hanam Jeongga.

Hanbin slowly approached the wall and touched its surface.

Hanbin tilted his head after checking all the walls.

Because I touched every wall, but there was no sword to be felt.

He has plenty of time anyway, and isn’t he the benefactor of this family?

There was no place in Hanam Jeongga that Hanbin couldn’t go.

In a way, the contract with Hanam Jeongga was a side effect, and this was the goal that had to be achieved from Hanam Jeongga.

Hanbin, who had added a bookshelf and accumulated fifty years of internal energy in Danjeon, slowly left the training room.

At that moment, two shadows appeared at the entrance to the training room.

But, it was a familiar sound. The two were Seolhwa and Imoo-myeong.

Hanbin, who was walking slowly, coughed in vain.

“hmm.”

The shadow protagonists turned their heads at Hanbin’s cough.

Hanbin spoke to them first.

“Seolhwa, what’s going on at this hour?”

“I think you will need protection, Your Majesty.”

“If you lock yourself in the training room, not even a single ant can enter, so what kind of law can you protect?”

“But you don’t know. If you entered the training room, you must have intended to gain some kind of enlightenment. What if the enemy comes and attacks?”

“Enemy, what enemy?”

“There might be some remnants of Jeong Hwi-ji.”

“Oh, I have a lot to worry about.”

“Think about it. If Confucius gets hurt, who will buy him candy?”

“Oh, I see. It wasn’t me you were worried about, it was the candy. Haha.”

When Hanbin laughed, Lee Mu-myeong, who was next to him, threw away his winning ticket.

“Congratulations on your accomplishment, my lord.”

Imoo-myeong lowers his head, and his beard flutters on his lower chin.

Imoo-myeong, who finished his acting career, grew a beard.

The reason I grew a beard was simple.

He is trying to hide the fact that he resembles Hanbin.

The strange thing was that just by putting on a beard, he became a completely different person, so the effect was perfect.

Imoo-myeong thought that if he did this, he would be able to help Han-bin later.

The fewer people who know that Imoo-myeong and Hanbin resemble each other, the more useful he becomes.

Although he was grateful that he came out to protect the law, it was Imoo-myeong’s heart that truly touched Hanbin.

“Thank you, escort.”

“What on earth happened in the training room? Your mood has changed so much in such a short period of time.”

“Well, would you believe me if I said I slept well?”

“Haha, I absolutely can’t believe that.”

“Would you believe me if I told you that I summarized the insights I gained from fighting Jeong Hwi-ji today? This escort.”

“ah…….”

Imoo-myeong let out a long sigh.

The unceasing elasticity echoed in front of the quiet training room.

As the elasticity was about to end, Imoo-myeong opened his mouth again.

“Sir, please tell me honestly.”

“What are you talking about? This escort.”

“That was the day we first crossed swords.”

“Hmm, by that day, you mean the day you fought in front of Madam Jeonghwa?”

“Yes, that day. Did you really give it your all that day? I felt that your sword was sincere that day. But after watching your fight with Jeong Hwi-ji today, I felt that you hid the strength that you had that day.”

“Do you want a really honest answer, Escort?”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Then I will be honest. It is true that I gave it my all that day. It is true that I faced this guard and sword with all my heart.”

“Huh? Then what the hell happened to you? What happened to make you so strong? My lord.”

“Are you curious?”

“Yes, I want to become stronger too. No matter how hard I try, I feel like I’m just standing still.”

Imoo-myeong was deeply absorbed in the game.

Hanbin stroked his chin at the sight and fell into thought.

It was only a little later that the Sword of Despair was changed to the Sword of Climax because the level of the Sword of Despair was not reached.

When Lee Moo-myung saw Han Bin’s inaction, his sense of inferiority disappeared and it seemed like that time had come earlier.

In fact, Hanbin was also curious as to why Imoo-myeong’s nickname changed from the Sword of Climax to the Sword of Despair.

After much thought, Hanbin said.

“To become stronger, you may die. Do you still want to know? This escort?”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Then let’s find out about this escort issue together. I promise I’ll do my best.”

Imoo-myeong knelt at Hanbin’s words.

Then he bowed so that his head touched the floor.

Hanbin was quite embarrassed by that sight.

“What is going on?”

“I will serve you as my master for the time being.”

“Master?”

When Hanbin was surprised, Imoo-myeong jumped up and looked at Seol-hwa.

“Seolhwa, I ask you a favor too.”

“You must not forget the party you promised, you guard.”

“okay.”

Hanbin tilted his head at their conversation.

What did Imoo-myeong ask of Seol-hwa?

As soon as Hanbin thought of the question, the answer appeared.

Seolhwa brought a bundle from the side.

Seolhwa unpacked her bundle on the floor in front of the training room.

It was a sight I had seen many times somewhere.

Normally, Hanbin would ask Seolhwa to bring it to him, but this time, Imoo-myeong volunteered and asked Seolhwa for a pen and ink to write the contract.

Even though Hanbin didn’t say anything, Lee Moo-myung started writing down the contract.

At that sight, Seolhwa cried out softly.

“Oh, it’s a voluntary slave contract!”

Despite those words, he paid no attention to Imoo-myeong and filled the contract with the details.

Of course, the content that Hanbin had been writing until now was included intact.

Imoo-myeong, who had stopped writing, spoke to Hanbin.

“They say that if a dog studies at a private school for three years, it will be able to recite poetry.”

“Now that I think about it, it looks like you have to sign a contract to be a three-month escort at a private school. But, don’t you have to go back to Hanamjeongga soon?”

“I spoke to the master a little while ago and am on my way back. I received permission to leave Hanamjeongga and move to Cheonsujang. The master readily gave his permission.”

“Okay, then let’s stop here for today and go in.”

“Understood, Master.”

Hanbin furrowed his brows at those words.

Master?

It was a title I had never heard before, even in my previous life.

However, Hanbin smiled briefly after thinking about it for a moment. He could just think of her as his subordinate.

Isn’t there a saying that the military is one?

The titles lord and master did not have much meaning.

At that moment, the sound of a rooster crowing at dawn broke the silence.

Cockroach!

At that crying sound, Hanbin quietly turned around and returned to his quarters.

Imoo-myeong was silent and Seol-hwa was silent.

Dawn came before the hard day was over.

A few days later.

Hanbin inspected eleven of the twelve training rooms in Hanamjeongga.

However, Hanbin could not find the traces he was looking for.

Now we are approaching the final training room.
