Episode 145. Symbol of the Land (1)

Hanbin answered with a serious expression.

“I’m not sure about that yet.”

“You’re not sure? What does that mean?”

“If we’re allies, we’re partners, right?”

“You could say that”

“Partnership is only possible when the power is equal. I think we will need time.”

“Time? What does that mean?”

“It’s time for Hwangbo Se-ga to examine me, and it’s time for me to examine Hwangbo Se-ga.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked into Hwangbo Seohyun’s eyes.

Actually, what I just said wasn’t sincere.

What Hanbin wanted to confirm was not strength, but Hwangbo Se-ga’s sincerity.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon let out a hollow laugh as she received Hanbin’s gaze.

“Wow, that guy has a scarier mouth than martial arts skills.”

After finishing speaking, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon smiled brightly and then went inside.

Hanbin snapped his fingers at that sight.

Exactly.

It was a small sound, but it was enough to focus everyone’s attention.

As everyone’s attention turned to him, Hanbin said.

“Okay, let’s go in now.”

When Hanbin pointed to the Hwangbo family’s main gate, So Daeseop spoke hurriedly.

“Let’s get things sorted out first.”

Hanbin called out to Sodaeseop, who was trying to turn around.

“Cow lord.”

“Yes, my lord. Do you have anything else to say?”

As So Dae-seop tilted his head, Han-bin waved his hand and said.

“don’t do it!”

“Yes, what are you telling me not to do… … .”

“Little lord, you have to clean up your own shit!”

“What do you mean, my lord?”

So Dae-seop opened his eyes wide at the unexpected words.

Hanbin continued speaking, chuckling at the sight.

“What I’m saying is that it’s not us who have to clean up this mess. The person who started this mess will clean it up themselves.”

Hanbin gestured with his chin at Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, who was watching from afar.

All of the Red Blood Tigers who were trying to clean up the mess at Hanbin’s direction stopped.

Hwangbo Gyeon-woo’s face turned red as he watched the scene from afar.

‘What the hell. I have to… … that kid.’

His thoughts were just lingering in his mouth.

* * *

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who had been walking nonchalantly, suddenly ran somewhere in a hurry.

The place she was headed to was Gajujeon.

Her older brother, Gaju Hwangbo Mancheong, has been refraining from eating or drinking these days and has been focusing on studying martial arts.

That’s why it still remained in Gajujeon.

A moment later, she was facing Gaju Hwangbo Mancheong, with a steaming cup of tea and a Go board between them.

“… … Is that all? A famous product has appeared in the Odaesega.”

“Oh, my lord, that’s not something to laugh about!”

“If it’s not something to laugh about, then it’s serious?”

After finishing speaking, Hwangbo Man-cheong placed a stone on the Go board.

Exactly!

There was a moment of silence between them.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who had put the stone down for a moment, continued speaking.

“That’s not it. In order to repay that debt, I might have to sign the Ohang Paek without Habukpangga’s request… … .”

“Then what? Is it a big deal if the five generations of the family all owe each other a debt?”

Hwangbo Mancheong laughed like a liberated monk.

In fact, getting the signature on the Five Elements Plaque, the symbol of the Five Great Powers, was simple yet difficult.

The principle was simple.

First, signing the five-element plaque brought by the candidate for the Sogaju office meant promising to grant him a favor.

Second, the head of the opposing family must request to sign the Five Elements Plaque.

The head of the opposing family makes a request and secretly hands over one of the Five Elements tiles.

In other words, it was a transaction that could only be established by exchanging the Five Elements cards.

Combining the above two provisions, it ultimately came down to an exchange of debts between families.

There was one thing that had to come first to resolve this issue quickly.

He quickly realized that it would be difficult for the Gangbuk Five Great Powers to gain support from any of them on his own.

This was a question that strengthened the bond between families while also testing the political qualities of the person who would become the head of the household.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon also smiled upon seeing Ga-ju’s expression.

“If that’s what you think, then I have nothing to say.”

After finishing speaking, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon drank some tea.

Hwangbo Mancheong said at that sight.

“Kids’ fights are more fun when they are pitted against each other.”

“Well, if you say you don’t mind getting your pillars uprooted, then I’ll do as you wish, brother.”

“Even if I get picked, it’s fate. And would that little guy really get his pillars uprooted?”

“I don’t know. I’ll just do it according to the rules without any feelings.”

“That’s what the law enforcement officer should do.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong, who had been nodding, grabbed the baduk stone.

Hwangbo Man-cheong takes a moment to lick his lips while looking at the Go board.

His hands moved strangely.

Whoosh!

The hand holding the stone was not facing the board, but was facing out the open window.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon asked at that sight.

“Oh, my lord, why are you throwing the stones?”

“There are no birds that listen to daytime speech, but there are mice that listen to nighttime speech.”

“Rat? What do you mean?”

“I kicked you out, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong picked up the stone again.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon smiled brightly at that sight.

“Oh, my lord, you just threw a stone.”

When Hwangbo Seo-hyeon pointed out the window, Hwangbo Man-cheong laughed in vain.

“Huh, really? Am I the one who threw the stone?”

“It’s true that you threw a stone. So, you have to pay attention to the budget of the ruling party starting next month. This is the first win this year.”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon smiled while looking at the baduk board.

There was a reason for this. Hwangbo Man-cheong was rumored to be crazy about swords and baduk.

The condition that Hwangbo Mancheong presented to each party leader was that if they won a game of baduk against him, he would increase the organization’s budget.

It is true that stones were thrown.

Hwangbo Man-cheong laughed as if it was absurd.

“Haha. You really benefited from the rat.”

“Well, if it only benefits you, does it matter whether it’s a rat or a bird?”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon swept the baduk stones onto the table.

* * *

A shadow disappeared from a distance of at least a hundred paces from the window of the main building.

The disappearing shadow reappeared on the way to where Hanbin and his party were staying.

The shadow was watching Hanbin walking with Hwangbo Gyeonwu from afar.

Thud thud.

As the footsteps drew closer, the owner of the shadow revealed himself.

The man bowed his head slightly to Hwangbo Gyeonwoo.

“Brother, what are you doing at this hour? Who is this person?”

The shadow’s identity is none other than Hwangbo Youngwoo.

He rolled his eyes and looked at Hanbin, pretending not to know anything.

At that sight, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo reluctantly answered.

“This is the Sa Gongja of Habukpengga, younger brother.”

Hwangbo Young-woo quickly turned around and threw the ball at Han-bin.

“Ah, you are the fourth son of the Habuk Peng family. My name is Hwangbo Yeong-woo, the second son of the Hwangbo family.”

“I am Peng Hanbin, the fourth son of the Habuk Peng family.”

Hanbin also faced the lottery.

Although he bent his back, Hanbin kept his head up and looked into the other person’s eyes.

Their eyes met in the air.

This was a story that even Hwangbo Young-woo did not bow his head.

The two of them looked into each other’s eyes in that relaxed posture.

After a brief exchange of idle talk, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo looked to the side and spoke.

“You serve the guests.”

There, his right-hand man, Musa Song Kyung-un, stood with a serious expression.

“all right.”

Song Kyung-woon, who had received the order, quickly took the prize and guided Han Bin and his party to the pavilion where they would be staying.

Song Kyung-woon, who had been silently leading the way, stopped in front of a large pavilion.

The Red Tigers, who were looking at the pavilion, began to roar.

“Wow, the accommodation is nice.”

“It’s better than the accommodation in Habukpangga.”

At their words, Song Kyung-woon, standing in front of the pavilion, looked at Han Bin with a smirk.

“This is where Confucius will stay.”

“Thank you.”

Song Kyung-woon said, pointing to the pavilion.

“Your Majesty, you may stay in the room with the green flag over there.”

“If it’s a green flag… … .”

“There you go.”

Song Kyung-woon pointed to the flag stuck in the topmost window of the pavilion.

Then he turned around and continued his explanation.

“The rest of you warriors, please stay in the room with the red flag.”

After finishing his explanation, Song Kyung-woon gave the prize to Han Bin and then stepped aside.

Hanbin let out a strange laugh as he looked at Song Kyungwoon’s back, as if he found it amusing.

* * *

After a while, Hanbin and his group, who had taken over a small pavilion, began to unpack.

Hanbin opened the window wide and looked at the moonlight as he spoke in a small voice.

“I think I found it.”

Seolhwa, who was unpacking Hanbin’s luggage in the room, tilted her head and asked.

“Confucius, what are you looking for?”

“That’s an interesting prey.”

“Who are you? Prince Hwangbo Gyeonwu?”

“no.”

“Then you must be talking about Prince Hwangbo Yeong-woo.”

“You even recognized the story.”

“I’m not sure, but I felt like he was a warrior in the same industry.”

“Ah, same industry.”

Hanbin looked at Seolhwa as if he found it absurd.

These days, it is a story that does not mention one’s former job.

Of course, when it comes to the same industry, Sulwha is talking about Salsu.

Hanbin thought it was half right.

Hwangbo Young-woo had something else besides the momentum of killing.

That was the feeling of magic.

Magira?

Not only does the direct line of the sect reek of murder, but it also reeks of demonic spirits?

This was clearly related to the downfall of the Hwangbo family.

In my past life memories, the family that fell as quickly as Hanamjeongga was Hwangbo Sega.

In fact, one of the reasons Hanbin came here in the first place was to satisfy a curiosity he couldn’t solve in his past life.

But then I discovered part of the cause.

If it were anyone other than Hanbin and Seolhwa, they probably wouldn’t have noticed Salsu’s unique characteristics.

As if Seolhwa didn’t notice the magic.

Hanbin, who had roughly finished organizing things, spoke to Seolhwa.

“I’m going to go get some fresh air for a bit. Please finish up, Seolhwa.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. But do you have to wear a nightgown to get some fresh air?”

“Red is too flashy. Like that flag.”

Hanbin pointed to the flag stuck in the window.

As Seolhwa smiled brightly, Hanbin quickly used two herbivores.

‘Lightning strike.’

‘Begging is the 18 steps.’

At the same time, Hanbin disappeared outside the window, making only the sound of his clothes rustling.

Sasa-sak.

* * *

Meanwhile, sighs were being heard from Hwangbo Gyeonwoo’s quarters.

“phew…….”

“You’ve held up well, brother.”

“Brother, does this make sense? Why did your aunt show up there?”

“Shouldn’t we just fall into the trap we’ve dug? Brother.”

“That’s true, but the problem is that I laid out a plan from the beginning, but it fell through and I feel like I’m falling into a hole.”

“Look at it a little bigger. If we succeed tomorrow, the bastard Sa Gongja of Habukpengga will be in the palm of our hands.”

“That’s right. Like the Monkey King on the Buddha’s palm… … .”

“No. I would be a fly buzzing on the palm of Buddha’s hand.”

“Haha. Thanks to you, I feel better. Little brother, you should go back and rest. Then, we can proceed with work tomorrow without any problems.”

“Yes. You can rest easy, brother. I will take care of it. However… … .”

“Speak comfortably, little brother.”

“Just raise your voice. Under no circumstances should you back down.”

“hmm.”

“Once he falls into the trap, we are like riding on the tiger’s back.”

“That’s what they call riding a tiger.”

“That’s right. The trap you set will be useless if you show even the slightest opening.”

“Okay, don’t worry.”

That was when.

Hwangbo Youngwoo narrowed his eyes and looked around.

Hwangbo Gyeonwoo asked at that sight.

“Why are you doing that?”

“It’s nothing. I guess I was a little oversensitive.”

Hwangbo Young-woo looked out the window with an awkward smile.

He thought it was his mistake.

It was more of a feeling that someone was watching rather than a sound.

However, there was no one in this world who could act outside of his own will.

He could be confident that even the head of the household could not escape his aura.

Even though they said they were outside guests, it was a clear feeling of wrongness since they were all rookies from Habukpangga.
