Episode 174. Spear and Shield (1)

What surprised Hanbin was the last sentence.

[The time given to complete the scattered knots in the world is three years. After the time has passed, the dragon will return to its original place… … .]

The surprise was fleeting, and Hanbin smiled quietly.

Going back to where I came from clearly meant that I wouldn’t just wait for my growth.

As he was thinking about the last sentence, letters appeared before Hanbin’s eyes again.

[To learn the True Dragon Shadowless Hand… … .]

Hanbin opened his eyes after checking the last sentence.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Gongsun Su and Gongsun Minghu guarding the surroundings.

Hanbin tilted his head at the sight and got up.

“Why are you doing that now?”

“Someone just broke in.”

“There’s an intruder?”

Hanbin tilted his head.

There was no sign of his own presence.

But does Gongsonsu know?

This situation is even more incomprehensible because in terms of skill, there is no one better than Hanbin in this position.

Gongsonsu, who saw Hanbin’s expression, continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

“The thread buried in the floor is reacting.”

Gongsonsu pointed somewhere with his index finger.

There was a little bell hanging there.

If you look closely, you can see that the drop is vibrating slightly, although you can’t hear any sound.

It seemed to be a device that would ring when someone came near.

Well, they were the ones who had been guarding this place for ten years.

There was no way the mural could be left unattended.

In some ways, such an alarm device was natural.

At that moment, the drop that had been shaking slightly made a sound.

Daughter.

“It’s a hundred steps away. You get out of here for now.”

When Gongsonsu answered with a serious face, Hanbin quickly spoke.

“Just hide behind the wall and watch.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin made Gongsun Su and Gongsun Ming retreat to the space behind the wall, and covered the wall with a curtain.

Hanbin also entered the space behind the wall.

I carefully looked outside, but no one opened the door and came in.

Hanbin closed his eyes and raised his energy level to the maximum.

For a moment, Hanbin tilted his head and looked toward the door.

Hanbin also felt the presence, but it was because he was quite familiar with it.

That was when.

Tinkle. Tinkle.

The bells rang louder.

Then the door opened.

Rattling.

At the same time, the sound of clothes rustling on the floor was heard.

Sasa sak. Sasa sak.

The sound got closer and someone stopped in front of Hanbin.

The voice continues.

“Who kidnapped my disciple?”

Hanbin opened his mouth wide at that voice.

The owner of the voice is none other than Hong Chil-gae.

Hanbin, who had confirmed his opponent, quickly opened the curtain and ran forward.

“Master, how did you get here?”

Hong Chil-gae asked, looking flustered at Han Bin’s casual question.

“Oh, disciple. Are you okay?”

“Of course I’m safe.”

“I came running because it was clearly dangerous… … Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe. Phew… … .”

Hong Chil-gae let out a long sigh and looked at Gong Son-su behind Han Bin.

“Are you by any chance one of the empty houses?”

“Are you the Hong family guy who is open?”

Hong Chil-gae and Gong Son-su pointed at each other with their index fingers.

It seemed like they had known each other for a long time.

The two are surprised and point at each other with their index fingers.

Hanbin intervened between the two who were standing there blankly.

“Elder and Master. What on earth is going on?”

“Let me tell you.”

As Gongsonsu stepped forward, Hong Chil-gae waved his hand.

“He is my disciple, so I should be the one speaking. Why are you interfering?”

While the two were arguing, Seolhwa arrived late.

“I’m here, Your Majesty.”

“Yeah, you’re here.”

“I brought Grandfather Hong Chil-gae just as Confucius said.”

Only then did Hanbin realize the situation.

Hanbin clearly told Hong Chil-gae to inform him of the situation if he didn’t return.

The story was faithful to the instructions.

I could also understand why Seolhwa was later than Hong Chil-gae.

Hanbin’s gaze turned to the sugar and skewers in Seolhwa’s hands.

Seolhwa seemed to have bought some sweets on the way to Hong Chil-gae.

Seolhwa smiled awkwardly at Hanbin’s gaze.

“There is no way that Confucius would be defeated by anyone.”

Hanbin waved his hand and took the lead in response to Seolhwa’s awkward excuse.

“Let’s get out of here, Seolhwa.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Hanbin quietly left the study.

Gongsun Minghou followed quickly behind.

“Let’s go together.”

By the time it was time for a cup of tea.

Hong Chil-gae and Gong Son-su, who were looking at each other as if they were going to eat each other, tilted their heads.

“Where did you go, my disciple?”

“That’s what I’m saying… … .”

Only then did the two hurriedly chase after Hanbin.

* * *

After a while.

The conference room of the Gongsun family.

Hanbin was able to briefly hear about Hong Chil-gae’s unknown past.

The story began before Hong Chil-gae became a beggar.

He said he was born into a fairly wealthy family.

I met Gongsonsu at a private school when I was young.

What was more surprising was that they occasionally exchanged greetings.

It is said that even after Hong Chil-gae entered the royal family and Gongsun-su entered the imperial family, the two did not lose contact.

Even Gongsun Minghou, who was listening to the story from the side, opened his eyes wide, so it seemed like their relationship was a secret.

The sight of the elders of openness and the great scholars conversing like children brought laughter to everyone.

In a way, both of them were great professionals in their respective fields.

A strange sight that can only be seen here.

Everyone’s expressions hardened as they began to talk about what would happen to Jang Woon-hyun in the future, even though they were all laughing together.

Then, Hanbin took out a fan from his bosom.

widely.

Gongsonsu tilted his head at the fan placed on the table.

At that sight, Hanbin opened his fan.

Chorus.

A landscape painting appears when the fan is opened.

Hanbin pointed out some parts of it.

There was a map drawn there.

“Elder, do you know about this place?”

Gongsonsu’s eyes widened.

“If it’s that place… … .”

Gongsun Su looked at Gongsun Minghou with his words trailing off.

Gongsun Minghou, who had been receiving attention, continued the story.

“I know that place better than my grandfather. But how does Confucius know about this place?”

“It’s just a place to mark places that seem strange in this town, but I don’t know what’s there.”

“Hmm, well then. The place that Confucius has indicated is the escape route.”

“An escape route?”

“The passage that Confucius followed me through.”

“Yes, wasn’t that passage connected to here?”

“It’s not just a passage connected to here. It’s a passage that extends like a maze in Jangunhyeon. I think it’s a passage that’s been around since the time of Qin Shi Huang. This passage is the one I made, and the other exits are the original entrances and exits.”

“Then let me ask you one more thing.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“What happens if that entrance gets blocked?”

Hanbin asked while recalling memories from his past life.

“The entrance is blocked?”

Gongsun Minghu quietly closed his eyes as if he was imagining something.

Hanbin looked at him without rushing him.

When Gongsun Minghou opened his eyes, his eyes were trembling.

He shook his head quietly and continued speaking.

“If the situation that Confucius spoke of and the situation where the exit is blocked happen at the same time… … .”

Gongsun Minghou trailed off slightly.

At that sight, Gongsonsu stepped forward.

“I’ll say it for you. Probably one-third of Jang Yun-hyeon’s people will disappear.”

“One third?”

Hanbin asked, looking surprised.

I didn’t understand what it had to do with the secret passage exit being blocked.

Gongsonsu, who saw that expression, continued speaking in the quietest voice possible.

“One third of the people here are our people. Where do you think our information comes from? From the janitors at the inn to the passing coachmen… … One third are our people. Everything they see and hear is gathered here.”

This is what Hanbin also expected.

“But are you saying that they die if the exit is blocked?”

“If something shocking happens, there is only one place to hide, the secret underground passage, so of course I will hide there. But if the food in the shelter runs out, isn’t it natural that I will starve to death?”

“I see. Then, could you explain the passage in a little more detail, sir?”

“therefore …….”

After finishing the explanation, Gongsonsu asked quietly.

“But why is that place blocked?”

“It’s nothing special. But please do me a favor.”

Hanbin said with a serious expression.

If I remember correctly from my previous life, all the informants who helped Gongsun Se-ga were buried there.

In the future, the exit that Hanbin indicated will remain in the shape of a pit as if it had been dug up.

I also thought that the opponent might be trying to erase Gongsun Se-ga from the world.

If Hanbin hadn’t come here, the only person who would have survived here would probably be Gongsun Minghou.

If Han Bin’s memory is correct, Gongsun Minghou will abandon Gongsun’s surname and become active in the martial arts world.

As a master of disguise and lightness.

Gongsonsu, seeing Hanbin’s expression, narrowed his eyebrows and asked.

“Tell me. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll listen.”

“No matter what happens, don’t escape through the secret passage.”

“Hmm, I see. Now that I’ve told you, it’s no longer a secret passage. And since you’ve been following me, it’s no longer worth it.”

“Then is it okay if I use it for a good cause?”

Everyone tilted their heads at Hanbin’s words.

The next morning.

Hanbin and his party left the main gate of Gongsun Sega.

Hong Chil-gae glanced at Han Bin and sighed.

“Wow… …. Disciple. You are truly amazing.”

“Are you talking about my martial arts, Master?”

“That’s not it. I’m just saying that he’s better at asking for work than anyone else.”

“Haha. I appreciate the compliment.”

“Plus, he’s witty too. Hmm.”

Hong Chil-gae looked at Han Bin with a look of displeasure.

Hanbin knew why Hong Chil-gae was acting like this.

That was because Hanbin learned Muyeongbo from Gongsunga.

Why did Hanbin learn Muyeongbo instead of Gugeungsippalbo?

It was because of the message conveyed by the Yongrin Sword Technique.

According to what the scroll said, the True Dragon and the Invincible One were hiding in the Invincible Treasure.

It was true.

Now, since the True Dragon Martial Arts’ first recipe is located in one corner of the Yongrin Gyeopbeop, it had to be true.

[Fusion]

[Begging 18 Steps]

[True Dragon Sword]

[True Dragon Dancer]

Hanbin, who had confirmed the emergency, spoke to Hong Chil-gae as if to appease him.

“I learned it for reference, but I plan to only use the Begging and Eighteen Steps for lightness techniques now and in the future. There is no lightness technique in the world that is that fast.”

“haha!”

Hong Chil-gae laughed so hard that everyone around him seemed to be going crazy.

At that moment, Seol-hwa tilted her head and chimed in.

“I heard earlier that Gaebong is a window. Do you have a shield too? Your Majesty.”

“I think it’s about time we got there… … .”

Hanbin trailed off and looked towards the lodging where the Red Blood Tigers were staying.

* * *

At the same time, the inn where the Red Blood Tigers were staying.

Sim Mi-ho, who was busy with the unexpected guest house renovation work, tilted her head.

This was because a group of people who appeared to be martial artists were loitering in front of the inn.

Sim Mi-ho, who was managing the maintenance work, rushed there.

Sim Mi-ho, standing in front of the woman who appeared to be the leader of the procession, spoke cautiously.

“This inn is closed for the time being. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to go somewhere else… … .”

The woman who appeared to be the head of the household quickly waved her hand and spoke before Shim Mi-ho could even finish speaking.

“We didn’t come here to look for a place to stay.”

“Then why did you come here?”

“I came here in a hurry because I heard that the four princes of Habukpengga came here.”

“Excuse me, what is your honorific name?”

“My name is Jin Se-mi from Baeksamun in Hanam.”
