Episode 183. The House on the Edge (3)

Hanbin, who saw everyone’s expressions, began to explain with an expression that said he knew this would happen.

“This is a special antidote for emergencies. So… … .”

At Hanbin’s explanation, everyone looked at the necklace he was holding in his hand.

The current plague was caused by diluting the poison brought from the north and mixing it into grain and drinking water.

Of course, the specific name, ischemic herb, was not mentioned.

What if you use the poison made from poisonous plants without diluting it?

The moment you become addicted, your toes and fingertips will become numb and rot away.

When Hanbin explained the symptoms, everyone was shaking.

Joho whispered in Jang Sam’s ear.

“It’s really rotting away? Uncle Jang-sam, is that what you just said?”

“I heard that too, Johoya.”

“Oh, you piece of shit! Is this how I’m going to die now?”

Joho screamed.

Of course, the reactions of the rest of the members were similar.

Just hearing the words brought a horrific sight to their eyes.

Those who die that way will look exactly like those who died from the plague.

Hanbin continued speaking after seeing their expressions.

“wherefore…….”

The solution was simple.

It can’t be solved with oral anti-inflammatory medication.

The antidote had to spread deep into the blood vessels faster than the toxicity of the ischemic herb spread.

This necklace was made with that tool.

Joho, who was listening to the explanation, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

Joho had a feeling that this mission might be the last one in his life.

He looked quietly at the necklace he was holding.

The necklace was simple to use.

If you strike the bottom of the necklace with all your might, a needle will come out.

It was the needle that caused the medicine to flow in.

Joho put the necklace back on his neck, opened the lid, and put the pill in.

If Hanbin were to become addicted to the poison he was talking about, this necklace would definitely be his lifeline.

But why does it feel strangely cold?

Moreover, the very idea of ​​inserting a needle directly into a blood vessel was strange.

Oral antidotes are common, but this was the first time someone had injected them into the bloodstream.

After Hanbin finished explaining everything, the Red Blood Tiger Squad members looked at each other in silence.

The throats of the agents who were looking at each other while fiddling with their necklaces trembled.

At that moment, Joho tilted his head and raised his hand.

“My lord, what is the cancellation made of?”

“That’s a very appropriate question in this situation, Joho.”

“… … .”

Everyone was silent and just stared at Hanbin’s lips, waiting for his next words.

Hanbin continued speaking as if he found their appearance amusing.

“Of course it’s a secret. But it’s something you can’t buy for a thousand dollars, so take care of it.”

At Hanbin’s words, everyone grabbed their necklaces.

Jang Ja-myeong, who was listening to Han Bin’s explanation, quietly turned his head.

In Jang Ja-myeong’s opinion, Han Bin’s last words were only half true.

It is made from radish grown in Cheonsujang.

The remedy was a concentrated solution of several herbs mixed with yellow radish that had absorbed the extreme heat.

Ischemic herb is a poison that eats away at the body with yin energy.

It was the polar opposite of the Moo-Wa that grew up absorbing the extreme energy of the Cheon-Su-Jang.

This remedy is made based on the principle that extreme yin and extreme yang meet to naturally neutralize poison.

The most common thing was the radish of Cheonsujang.

How many times have I had to absorb the extreme energy to the limit, pull it out, and then plant it again?

What was piled up in the warehouse?

Of the radishes piled up in the warehouse, half were brought to this guest house.

But you’re saying that you can’t buy it even for a thousand dollars?

Well, it’s true that Hanbin can’t buy it unless he sells it, but Jang Ja-myeong couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being deceived.

However, this does not mean that the martial arts of Cheonsujang were ineffective.

Although it wasn’t as powerful as a thousand-year-old water dragon, it had the same energy as a hundred-year-old water dragon.

So Hanbin’s explanation was half correct.

Jang Ja-myeong glanced to the side.

There, Geom-oh, who had been staying there for several nights, was dozing off.

Jang Ja-myeong was worried about the new Geom-o’s weak stamina.

‘Because you’re so weak… … .’

Jang Ja-myeong, who had been worried about Geom-o, tilted his head.

Come to think of it, did I ever have this much stamina?

No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t true.

Considering how much I stayed up all night every night under Hanbin’s orders, it was only natural that I would feel sick and groan.

‘Why are you so energetic?’

Jang Ja-myeong looked at the elixir he had made.

if?

It seemed that the reason why he was in such good health was related to the radish that contained the extreme positive energy.

Jang Ja-myeong looked at Han-bin without realizing it.

Jang Ja-myeong looked at Han Bin and muttered to himself without thinking.

“There’s something… … . Is it possible that we have inherited the progress of the gods?”

At that moment, Seo Jae-oh asked from the side.

“What is there? And what do you mean by God, Congressman Jang?”

“Ah, Seo Daehyeop, it’s nothing. I haven’t slept in a few days, so I’m just tired. But I feel secure knowing that Daehyeop is by my side.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can stay with you any longer.”

“What do you mean?”

“Just know this, Mr. Jang. I’m going to get out of here now. The plum blossoms are important, but what’s more important than life?”

“Oh, you’re saying it’s fried?”

“Your voice is too loud.”

“If you take me with you… … .”

“I’ll come back later when I see what’s going on. It’s too dangerous to go with you right now.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Jang Ja-myeong nodded his head weakly.

As Jang Ja-myeong and Seo Jae-oh whispered to each other, Han-bin, who had finished explaining, gathered everyone’s attention and clapped his hands.

match!

Hanbin, who had attracted everyone’s attention, said.

“The mission of the Red Blood Tiger Squad is to protect the merchants managed by Habuk Pengga. No matter what happens, we will protect our people. From now on, we will deliver news to the merchants in the assigned area.”

Hanbin snapped his fingers after finishing speaking.

Exactly!

In response to that sound, So Dae-seop and Sim Mi-ho distributed letters and packages to the members of the Red Blood Tiger Corps.

The Red Blood Tiger Corps members who received them checked their assigned areas.

Now that everyone has left for their mission, only a few people remain inside.

Seo Jae-oh looked at Jang Ja-myeong quietly and nodded.

It is a farewell greeting.

Jang Ja-myeong also nodded in regret.

It was when we exchanged greetings with our eyes.

Hanbin looked at the two with his arms crossed.

Seo Jae-oh felt Han-bin’s gaze and turned his head with a stinging expression.

“Ah, Prince Peng. Do you have something to say… …?”

Hanbin smiled with a kind face as he saw Seo Jaeoh trailing off.

“I have a favor to ask, Grandmaster.”

Hanbin’s voice was filled with more kindness than usual.

Seo Jae-oh, who was looking around with suspicious eyes, asked.

“A favor? If you want me to find out about the plague, then I will decline, Prince Peng.”

Seo Jae-oh shook his head decisively.

Although Hanbin explained that this epidemic was not a real epidemic but rather a phenomenon caused by poisoning, Seo Jaeoh could not believe it.

The sight I saw on my way back here was exactly like the plague I had heard rumors about.

People suffering from fever and red spots appearing here and there were clearly signs of an epidemic.

Seo Jae-oh decided to leave this place for now and come back later to find the plum blossoms.

It was too dangerous a task for Seo Jae-oh, the only son of the Man-geum Battlefield and the plum blossom swordsman of the Hwasan faction, to undertake.

In short, from Seo Jae-oh’s point of view, it was a situation where he had too much to lose.

Until now, Hanbin had never stopped Seo Jae-oh from going there.

He remained here as a hostage, only to find the plum blossoms and his own sword.

Hanbin waved his hand after seeing Seo Jae-oh’s expression hardened.

“Seo Daehyeop, it is not a dangerous mission.”

“Then what on earth is it that you ask of me, Prince Peng?”

“Just tell me this before you leave town.”

“I can’t believe I’m leaving town… … .”

“I heard everything you said to Assemblyman Jang earlier. Is there any need for Seo Dae-hyeop, the plum inspector, to take risks here? Please give this pouch to the person in charge of blockading this place on your way back.”

“If it’s something like that, I can listen, hmm.”

Seo Jae-oh nodded as if he was doing a good deed, then coughed in vain.

“Then please.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll see you later when things get better. And I don’t think you’ll need this.”

Seo Jae-oh took the necklace off his neck and handed it to Han Bin.

It was a necklace containing a special antidote.

Hanbin waved his hand.

“Isn’t this a problem that could arise outside the village? Please put it away.”

“Okay, I see.”

After finishing speaking, Seo Jae-oh hurriedly left the guest house.

Whirlyrick.

It was so fast that it left no trace like a cloud blown away by the wind.

Seo Jae-oh left the inn and crossed the empty streets.

Seo Jae-oh clicked his tongue when he couldn’t find a single shadow on the street that had been bustling just a few days ago.

“Tsk, it’s definitely a plague. I feel bad for leaving alone, but I guess there’s nothing I can do… … .”

Seo Jae-oh increased his speed even further.

How far did I go? When my energy was running low, I could see the entrance to the village.

There, government troops had set up a temporary outpost and were blocking anyone trying to leave the village.

As if to prepare for the plague, all the government troops covered their faces with cloth.

Seo Jae-oh started looking for someone who seemed to be his superior among them.

It was to deliver the leather pouch that Hanbin had requested.

It was when Seo Jae-oh was looking around.

Someone came out of the barracks behind the guard post.

He looked at Seo Jae-oh and shouted in a dry voice.

“Isn’t that a scam!”

“What?”

Seo Jae-oh narrowed his eyes in surprise.

At that sight, the owner of the voice lowered the cloth covering his face.

At that moment, Seo Jae-oh’s eyes widened.

He is none other than Kang Yu-chan.

He was the head of the Golden Guard.

Kang Yu-chan, who had arrived in front of Seo Jae-oh in an instant, asked.

“What is going on here?”

“The four princes of Pengga have come here with something to deliver to the chieftain.”

“Well, I guess they really sent it.”

“Huh? What do you mean… … .”

Even before Seo Jae-oh finished speaking, Kang Yu-chan extended his hand as if he had been waiting for it.

“Just give it to me first.”

“Here it is.”

When Seo Jae-oh quickly handed him a leather pouch, Kang Yu-chan took it out and checked the red blood stone inside.

Kang Yu-chan said, as he brought his face close to the red blood stone and examined it closely.

“Hmm, it really is the Manma card.”

“You’re saying I’m going to lose?”

When Seo Jae-oh tilted his head and asked, Kang Yu-chan opened his mouth happily.

“This is something called a Manma Pae. To be able to use this so easily, the Four Princes of Pengga must be loyal, hehe.”

When Kang Yu-chan looked at the red blood stone with an excited expression, Seo Jae-oh asked as if he couldn’t believe it.

“He’s not that bad of a friend, but how can a servant like Sa be loyal?”

“Have you heard about this Manma pack?”

“My knowledge is limited, I have never heard of the Manma Pai.”

“The ten thousand horse power is the power granted by the imperial family to use ten thousand horses. In other words, it means that one can use ten thousand soldiers. And that is to say, cavalry.”

“How can the four princes of Pengga have such power?”

“Didn’t you see that? The scene when I was handing over this Manma pack.”

“ah.”

“What’s even more surprising is that this ten thousand horse attack was a one-time thing. An army of ten thousand men would be enough to save a family. But the Four Princes of Pengga used that power for the sake of their country.”

After finishing speaking, Kang Yu-chan called his adjutant, gave him the Manma badge, and gave instructions.

“Mobilize all the military forces in Hebei Province. Blockade not only the entrance here but also the entire surrounding area!”

“I will obey your command.”

Seo Jae-oh opened his mouth as he saw the soldiers moving busily.

“omg.”

Then Kang Yu-chan asked.

“What are you going to do?”

In that moment, beads of sweat formed on Seo Jae-oh’s forehead.
