Episode 143. Ally or Enemy? (3)

While everyone else was just rolling their eyes with curious expressions, this time it was Seol-hwa who asked the question.

“Your Majesty, a contract?”

As Seolhwa opened her eyes wide, Hanbin continued speaking with a meaningful smile.

“I don’t think you remember the story. It’s a contract I picked up when I went hunting wolves in Jeolhogok.”

Seolhwa knew that Hanbin’s words were sarcasm.

The fact that you don’t remember something means that you will definitely remember it.

“ah!”

Sulwha, who burst into laughter, narrowed her eyes and recalled the events at Jeolho Valley.

At that moment, Seolhwa’s shoulders shook slightly.

That was because just thinking about it made my teeth chatter.

Seolhwa shook her head as if trying to shake off the incidents surrounding Jeolhogok.

Hanbin paid no attention to Seolhwa’s appearance and tapped the letter with his finger while looking at the Red Blood Tiger Squad.

“This contract is a document that proves my relationship with Hwangbo Se-ga.”

The atmosphere was heated up by Hanbin’s confident words.

“Wow!”

Then someone tilted his head and whispered.

“A relationship? What kind of relationship?”

“Do you have a secret agreement with Hwangbo Se-ga?”

Again someone spoke up.

So everyone continued to speculate.

“That’s right. There might be a secret agreement between you and your grand duke. I’ve heard that there are secret agreements between the grand dukes of the three families.”

“I don’t think that’s the case… … .”

“What does that mean?”

“Think about it carefully. If we had a secret pact, we would have come out already to greet our lord.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

“Then what is a relationship?”

Everyone couldn’t contain their curiosity and continued to speculate.

At that moment, Imoo-myeong clapped his hands as if he remembered something.

“Oh, by any chance… … .”

Imoo-myeong’s slightly trailing off voice and shining eyes looked like a Confucian student recalling the correct answer in a past exam room.

This time, attention was focused on Imoo-myeong.

However, Imoo-myeong only moved his lips and did not give an answer.

Seolhwa grabbed the sleeve of Imoo-myeong, who was hesitating with an embarrassed expression.

“Sir, I’m curious.”

At Seolhwa’s urging, Imoo-myeong looked at Hanbin.

When Hanbin nodded and gave permission, Imoo-myeong said.

“Master, what do you mean by relationship? Is it by any chance the secret of birth… …”

At Imoo-myeong’s words, the Red Blood Tiger Corps began to stir again.

“The secret of birth?”

“no way?”

Everyone’s excitement stopped at Hanbin’s next action.

Hanbin hit his forehead.

After a moment, Hanbin shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

“Ah, Anonymous! Why are you like that today? If you’re going to say something weird, get out of the way.”

Hanbin shook the letter and nodded with a bewildered expression.

At the same time, everyone looked at Imoo-myeong.

However, Imoo-myeong asked the question again as if he felt wronged.

“Then what exactly is that relationship, Master?”

When Imoo-myeong asked again, Hanbin smiled and answered.

“What is it? It’s the relationship between a creditor and a debtor.”

Everyone’s eyes began to light up at Hanbin’s words.

In their minds, the image of Hanbin writing the contract was automatically drawn.

At that moment, Seolhwa noticed and moved her lips.

Hanbin said at that sight.

“What’s wrong? It’s Seolhwa.”

“How much money will I receive, Your Majesty?”

Hanbin laughed brightly at Seolhwa’s question.

“It’s a bit much.”

“Your Majesty, please elaborate a bit. So, how much candy can I buy?”

“Well, it’s an amount that can cover the entire Hwangbo family with candy and still have some left over.”

“omg!”

Seolhwa opened her mouth in surprise.

The Red Tigers were busy holding back laughter at that sight.

Hanbin turned his head and looked at So Daeseop.

“From today until we leave Hwangbo Se-ga, there will be no training, so please understand, So Dae-ju. From today, you can rest at ease.”

“Yes, I understand, my lord.”

After So Dae-seop quickly answered and relayed Han Bin’s instructions to the Red Blood Tigers, everyone simultaneously stamped their sergeant’s flags on the ground and shouted.

Boom! Boom!

After a while.

At the main gate of Hwangbo Se-ga, a place to light a bonfire was prepared, and a makeshift barracks were built next to it to avoid the morning dew.

* * *

The main gate of Hwangbo Se-ga is covered in darkness as the sun sets in the west.

The guard of Hwangbo Se-ga, who was following the order not to move from inside, was really curious.

The smell of grilling meat was now wafting from outside the fence, following the occasional laughter.

One of the guards said.

“I guess I’ll have to check it out.”

“The Archduke clearly told you earlier. He told you not to move at all.”

“But shouldn’t we know what’s going on outside so we can report it?”

“Oh, that’s true too.”

The two guards nodded simultaneously.

The two guards quietly approached the fence.

They could not bear to disobey Hwangbo Gyeon-woo’s instructions not to open the door, so they climbed up the ladder under the wall.

The wall of the Hwangbo family was quite high, so they had to climb to the top of the ladder.

The guard who had climbed up the wall opened his mouth wide as he looked beyond the wall.

“Huh, what is that?”

“Yeah, what’s that? They’re actually grilling meat over a campfire. What’s going on here?”

“Now, wait a minute, we’re not seeing things, are we?”

“I can even hear the sizzling sound of meat burning. How could that be an illusion?”

“That’s right. But what the heck is that drink? The scent of it is flying all the way here.”

“Come to think of it, we didn’t even eat our meal, did we? Ugh.”

The two warriors watched the meat being eaten from the fence, their mouths watering.

It was while they were staring blankly down for a long time.

The man in red uniform who had been tearing meat below turned his head toward the wall.

The warrior whose eyes met turned his head without realizing it.

At that moment, the man in red uniform shouted in a cheerful voice.

“Would you like to come down and have a drink?”

At that voice, the guard turned his head.

The guard’s sight brought into view a man in red uniform, holding a bottle of liquor in one hand and a skewer of meat in the other, gesturing.

Of course, the man in the red uniform was Hanbin.

Hanbin shouted again as he looked at Musa blankly standing on the wall.

“Anyway, if you don’t open the door, won’t my mission be accomplished? Let me have a drink!”

At Hanbin’s shout, Musa hesitated and barely opened his mouth.

“We are on a mission.”

“You were probably told not to move anyway. Whether you move there or here, as long as you don’t open the door, it doesn’t matter.”

The guard’s eyes rolled back and forth at Hanbin’s words.

The guard warrior’s eyes, which had been wandering for a long time, suddenly stopped.

Because they discovered that they were not alone on the wall.

There, a woman in white attire was sitting comfortably on the wall as if it were her own living room.

The two guards opened their mouths at the same time.

The moonlight illuminated a woman in a crisp white uniform with long flowing hair.

The guard couldn’t help but know the woman.

She was Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, the youngest sister of the head of the household and the third-highest ranking member of the family.

She was in her early forties and was the maternal aunt of Sogaju Hwangbo Gyeonwu.

A woman leads the ruling party?

Among the five great families in Gangbuk, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon was the only one. No, even in Gangnam, such cases were rare.

Although it was an age when women would normally become nuns, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon had a special attachment to her family and remained a member of the family.

Of course, this is what Hwangbo Seo-hyeon claims, and others thought that she couldn’t get married because her personality was too blunt.

In some ways, that could be true, as she has been getting more and more irritable lately.

Not only was her nerves sharp, but the tip of her sword was also sharp these days.

If there was even the slightest thing she didn’t like, she would point her sword and request a fight.

For that reason, the Sega warriors feared her more than their master.

A thick bead of sweat ran down the forehead of the guard who recognized her.

“Yes, my lord!”

“What are you guys doing here?”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon asked the security guard.

The security guard answered quickly.

“Well, that’s right. There was a commotion outside, so I was checking, Your Majesty.”

“What I’m saying is, if there’s a commotion, shouldn’t you identify who it is and report it?”

“I already know the identity. And I have reported it to you.”

“What do you guys mean?”

“The person below is the Four Princes of the Habuk Peng Family. And we have already reported to the Grand Prince.”

“hmm.”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon looked back and forth between the inside and outside of the wall, drooling.

For a moment, she nodded.

With an expression on his face as if he knew everything.

It was at that time that the security guard and Hwangbo Seo-hyeon were talking.

A voice was heard again from below.

“There, the head of the law family, sister!”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon was startled by the voice, opened her eyes wide and looked down.

There, a man in red uniform, Hanbin, was smiling.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon asked with half surprise and half curiosity.

“My little brother… … . Ah.”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon unknowingly called Han-bin her younger brother.

Realizing her mistake, she quickly covered her mouth.

Hanbin said nonchalantly.

“How could you not know? Aren’t you Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, the one in charge of the Hwangbo Se-ga clan? I am the youngest of the Habuk Peng family, Peng Han-bin.”

Hanbin laughed inwardly.

If the guards hadn’t told me he was the head of the law enforcement agency, I wouldn’t have known.

In fact, Hanbin was a little surprised by Hwangbo Seohyun’s appearance, who was younger than he had expected.

In my previous life, I had only had the chance to meet her when she was over fifty years old, so it was natural that I didn’t recognize her.

Judging from her expression, she was just as attracted to the word “sister” now as she was in her past life.

Hanbin smiled brightly.

What about what Hwangbo Se-ga will do from now on?

Even if he was not an ally, a person from the Hwangbo family was needed who could make a decision in the middle.

That was Hwangbo Seo-hyeon.

It was almost like half the fish was caught.

After a moment, Hanbin wiped away his smile and poured the alcohol in his hand into the glass.

Uruk.

The liquor poured deliciously into a small glass, spreading its fragrance all around.

The guards on the wall also swallowed their saliva at the sight.

To be exact, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon was barely holding back her spit.

Hanbin said, filling a small glass with alcohol.

“Madam, would you like a drink?”

Hanbin’s actions aroused Hwangbo Seohyun’s curiosity.

Is this a provocation?

Is it a favor?

Or seeds of interest?

She decided to test Hanbin once.

“Then shall I have a drink? Should I come down or do you want to come up?”

As Hwangbo Seo-hyun tilted her head with a meaningful smile, Han-bin raised his glass and shouted.

“Just stay where you are!”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin quickly recalled the first step of the Yongrin Sword Technique.

‘A hundred percent accuracy.’

Then he used his power to create a curtain to cover the glass.

At the same time, he threw his glass at Hwangbo Seo-hyeon.

Whoosh!

A glass of wine that flies like an arrow.

The glass of wine that was illuminated by moonlight flew into Hwangbo Seo-hyeon’s arms like a shooting star.

The guards watching from the side opened their mouths wide and tried to draw their swords.

Because I saw the curtain surrounding the flying glass.

However, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon raised the corners of her mouth and spread her sleeves.

puck!

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who slowed down the flow of alcohol with her left sleeve, snatched the glass with her right hand.

The golden thread of Hwangbo Se, called Hwangryongjo-o.

The guards who were about to draw their swords opened their mouths wide.

On the tip of Hwangbo Seo-hyeon’s right index finger, a glass of wine was spinning like a top.

Hanbin removed the curtain that had been covering her and Hwangbo Seohyun put another curtain over it.

When the warriors turned into stone statues in the miraculous sight of the moonlit night, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon snickered and poured the wine into her mouth.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon checked the glass.

She was secretly surprised to see a perfectly good wine glass without any cracks.

The wine glasses were cheap ceramics that could be found in the marketplace.

But how can you be so amazing without putting too much strain on that glass?

The operation of the skill was more surprising than the level of the skill.
