Only Noblemtl

Episode 142. Ally or Enemy? (2)

Seolhwa asked as Hanbin scratched his ear.

“Who said that he was talking about Confucius?”

Then a familiar voice was heard from behind.

“Are there only a few people in the Hwangbo family who would gossip about their lord?”

At that voice, Hanbin and Seolhwa turned their heads at the same time.

There stood Sim Mi-ho with a haggard face.

Hanbin continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

“The only person who will gossip about me is Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, the grand duke of the Hwangbo family. Isn’t that right, Vice-Lord Sim?”

“Hey, that’s not it, my lord. Was Hwangbo Gyeonwu the only one who was publicly humiliated that day? All of his subordinates were rendered mute after eating honey.”

“Was that so? By the way, did the trip go well?”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin glanced at Sim Miho’s back.

Sim Mi-ho was carrying a rather heavy-looking load.

Sim Mi-ho wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and smiled.

“It went well, but Mr. Jeong Cheol-min said he would come in person from now on.”

“Is something wrong with you, sir?”

“No, that’s not it. I want to see it.”

“Elder?”

“No. I am your granddaughter.”

“If you’re my granddaughter, then Soyeon?”

“yes that’s right.”

“By the way, Chief Sim’s speaking skills have improved a lot.”

“Me?”

“You’re trying to fish me out now. I think the head of the Shim family has grown a lot.”

As Hanbin slightly raised the corners of his lips, Sim Miho waved her hand and unpacked her backpack.

“Oh, no. You think I’m trying to fish for my master? That’s a misunderstanding.”

“Well, if not, then forget it.”

“By the way, what should I do with this luggage?”

“Just give me one, and the rest will be kept by the owner of the Sim family.”

“Then take this one and I’ll keep the rest.”

Sim Mi-ho handed over an object wrapped in cloth from his luggage.

As Hanbin nonchalantly put the items in his bosom, Sim Miho stepped back, nodding.

“Then I’ll be going now.”

Sim Mi-ho left quietly.

The back of Sim Mi-ho carrying a load on his back looked exactly like that of a merchant.

Imoo-myeong, who was watching from the side, tilted his head and asked cautiously.

“Master, is there anything I can help you with… …”

“No. Just pretending not to know is what helps. If you have the luxury of curiosity, swing your sword one more time.”

Hanbin glanced at Seolhwa.

The scholar who had been under the gaze pulled out a sword from his waist.

Sling.

The sword that had just been pulled out trembled like a leaf. Before the trembling could stop, Seolhwa spoke.

“Sir, let’s play a game.”

“Let’s do that!”

Sreung!

Imoo-myeong drew his sword and quietly looked up at the sky.

How many people would believe a little child if he said he was afraid?

Hanbin, who was looking at the two, crossed his arms.

At that moment, the two swords split the air.

Buck! Buck!

However, what Hanbin was seeing was not their swordsmanship. Hanbin was organizing the basic form of the Yongrin Sword Technique that was only visible to his eyes.

Hanbin, who had been watching for a while, looked down at Hwangbo Se-ga again.

‘Hwangbo Segara?’

Hanbin, who was looking at Hwangbo Se-ga, slightly raised the corners of his lips and his eyes sparkled.

It was the look in his eyes like a beast of prey before it.

* * *

The next day, the first training ground of Hwangbo Se-ga.

Hwangbo Gyeonwu looked at his subordinates.

Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, who was looking at his subordinates with his arms crossed, shouted.

“Your voice is small!”

At the same time, the warriors swinging their swords in the training ground raised their voices.

“yap!”

Hwangbo Gyeonwoo shouted again.

“The best dragon in heaven! The dragon that covers Mt. Taishan heads towards the sky… … .”

The swords of his subordinates cut through the space in a myriad of ways in accordance with the shouts of Hwangbo Gyeonwoo.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as the meal was over, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo shouted.

“Everyone stop!”

At the same time, dozens of swords cutting through the air stopped.

Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, who had been looking at the sight with satisfaction, shouted again.

“The sweat you shed now will become gold in the future… … Everyone, take my words to heart. When I become the sun, you will become its light.”

At those words, the warriors raised their voices even louder.

“Wow!”

At that shout, the corners of Hwangbo Gyeonwu’s mouth slightly went up.

This was not the appearance of Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, who had been so depressed until yesterday.

What on earth could have changed him?

After hearing his younger brother Hwangbo Yeong-woo’s plan yesterday, Hwangbo Gyeon-woo couldn’t help but slap his knee.

To ensure the success of his plan, he prepared a trap to trap the youngest member of the Habuk Peng family for a day.

After preparing everything, I was satisfied with the result.

Now all I had to do was wait for my target to walk towards me on his own two feet.

“Ugh.”

Hwangbo Gyeonwu licked his lips, forgetting that his subordinates were looking at him.

That was when.

Someone came running in a hurry.

Ta-da-dak.

He turned his head at the sound of footsteps and saw that it was Song Kyung-woon, his right-hand man.

Song Kyung-woon stopped in front of Hwangbo Gyeon-woo and shouted with an urgent expression.

“Here you go, Your Highness!”

At Song Kyung-woon’s words, Hwangbo Gyeon-woo raised the corners of his lips and said.

“Okay, then let’s go!”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Song Kyung-woon, who had won the lottery, quickly walked ahead.

After a while.

Hwangbo Gyeonwu, who arrived at the main gate, quickly called the security guard.

A guard warrior came running at his call.

“Your Highness, have you called?”

“I heard that the four princes of Habukpengga are outside right now?”

“Yes, that’s right. So I sent a message to the Grand Duke. Should I also pass it on to the Master?”

“Okay. This isn’t something I need to tell my father, so I’ll go and meet him myself.”

After finishing speaking, Hwangbo Gyeonwu raised the corners of his lips.

The guard bowed his head at that sight.

Even if you look at it from a rule of thumb, it was right for Hwangbo Gyeonwoo to welcome the four princes of Habuk Pengga.

For a moment, the guard warrior tilted his head slightly.

There was something a little strange about the appearance of Grand Duke Hwangbo Gyeonwu.

Hwangbo Gyeonwoo was filled with anticipation.

Now that the knife handle has been handed over to him, all he has to do is cook.

Hwangbo Gyeonwoo pictured a scale in his head.

A test for a silver coin and a candidate for a small house?

So which side will have more weight?

The fifty nyang of silver was the money to be given to Hanbin.

After the Jeolhogok incident, Hwangbo Gyeonwu paid Hanbin fifty nyang in silver, but the rest was left to his own devices.

He felt that there was no reason to tell his family or give the rest to them.

This was Hwangbo Gyeonwoo’s last remaining pride.

Even though I was already feeling uneasy, now was the time to get revenge on Hanbin.

Since he had visited Hwangbo Sega because of the examination of the candidate for Sogaju, Sa Gongja of Habuk Pengga thought that he would inevitably become his prey.

As Hwangbo Gyeonwoo smiled sinisterly, the guard warrior spoke.

“Your Highness, I will invite the Four Princes of the Habuk Peng family inside for now.”

“That’s not right.”

“Your Highness, what do you mean…?”

Before the guard could finish speaking, Hwangbo Gyeonwu continued.

“Leave it alone until further notice.”

“Huh? Just leave it alone. What do you mean… ?”

Before the guard, who was surprised and asked again, could finish his sentence, Hwangbo Gyeonwu waved his hand.

“Oh, you just do as I say. Go out and report it, then lock the door.”

“You want me to lock it?”

The guard’s eyes widened at Hwangbo Gyeonwoo’s words.

I’ve been working at Hwangbo Se-ga for over ten years, but I’ve never had anything like this happen.

It was impossible to have guests come over and leave them standing outside with the door locked.

What if the owner knew?

The surprised guard asked again.

“What on earth are you talking about… … .”

“This is a title for a small business owner.”

As Hwangbo Gyeonwoo narrowed his eyes and spoke, the guard warrior hurriedly grabbed the ticket.

“I will obey your command.”

When he gave the order to take on the position of Sogaju, he had no choice but to obey.

“Then I will leave for a while, and you must not move even one step from here. I will come back tomorrow morning.”

“Huh? Dawn, Your Highness?”

“Since when have you been spitting on my words?”

When Hwangbo Gyeonwoo asked with a wrinkle on his forehead, the guard warrior reluctantly answered.

“Understood, Your Highness.”

As the guard nodded, Hwangbo Gyeonwu turned around with a satisfied expression.

The guard warrior narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hwangbo Gyeonwu’s back.

Are you the Four Princes of Habukpengga?

It was clear that he was probably Hwangbo Gyeonwu’s enemy.

There was no way they could have treated me so blatantly without it.

You’re leaving a guest from the same Gangbuk Odaese family outside until dawn?

The guard looked over the fence with a serious expression.

“Tsk tsk. What unlucky.”

Then his colleague nodded and answered.

“That’s right. If our Grand Prince has the personality to do it, he would be one of the best in Shandong, but he has no luck.”

The two guards sighed, worried about Hanbin, who was waiting outside without stopping.

One of the guards tilted his head.

It was normal to knock on the door again after saying that you were leaving a message and not hearing anything.

But there was no sound outside the front door.

‘what?’

Curiosity arose in the guard’s mind, but he could not move because of the Grand Duke’s instructions.

That was when.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard outside.

Then suddenly a shout rang out.

‘what?’

The guard was so curious that he was going crazy.

“Do you know what that means?”

“Huh, I don’t know.”

The two guards looked at each other with eyes full of curiosity.

The two guards flinched as they continued to hear strange sounds from beyond the wall.

* * *

What on earth was happening outside the door?

Hanbin and his party stopped in front of the Hwangbo family’s gate and looked at the tall buildings beyond the wall.

Some of the Red Tigers who had been watching for a while began to make a fuss.

Among them, Joho’s voice was particularly loud.

“Wow, this pavilion seems to be a bit bigger than the Habukpangka.”

“In some ways, Habukpangga is frugal.”

“Are all the five major cities in Gangbuk like this? It’s incredible.”

“Well, they’re all similar.”

“Hey, sir. To be honest, this is the second time you’ve left Habuk. The last time was in Hanamjeongga, the first time.”

“hmm.”

Jang Sam looked up at the sky and coughed in vain.

Then, from somewhere, a finger snapping sound was heard.

Exactly.

At that sound, Joho turned his head.

There, Hanbin was walking towards the Red Blood Tiger Squad with a disgruntled expression on his face.

Thud thud.

Hanbin’s footsteps sounded unusually loud today.

That would be the case, Hanbin was walking with his internal energy on purpose.

With each step Hanbin took, the Red Blood Tiger Squad members froze.

It was because the momentum was different today.

Hanbin said while everyone was frozen.

“I’m going to settle down here today.”

So Dae-seop, startled by Han Bin’s instructions, came running in a hurry.

“My lord, what do you mean?”

“I’m going to sleep out here today, so find a place to sleep.”

“No, there will be someone here to greet us soon, so why are you sleeping here? And Hwangbo Se is at the main gate… … .”

“Why do you think I came here, So Dae-ju?”

“Well, isn’t that why you came here to take the test that the candidate for Sogaju has to take?”

“Ding, wrong!”

Hanbin shook his head playfully.

At that sight, everyone began to focus on Hanbin.

The frozen expression disappeared, and now the eyes of all the Red Blood Tigers were filled with curiosity.

While they were licking their lips, Hanbin continued speaking.

“I didn’t come here because of something as trivial as the Sogaju candidate exam. This is why.”

Hanbin took out a letter from his bosom.

Everyone looked at the letter in silence.

But no one asked.

When everyone was just looking at the temple, Seolhwa asked.

“Confucius, what is that letter?”

Hanbin turned his head and looked at Seolhwa.

His gaze seemed to ask a question at the right time.

Hanbin said with a smile on his lips.

“This is the contract between Hwangbo Se and me.”

Everyone tilted their heads at the unexpected words.
