Episode 23. The Untie the Knot (3)

The most frequently chosen thing was the ball.

At the same time, I felt my internal energy rising in my danjeon.

Although it cannot be quantified, my internal energy has increased.

Then the sharp voice was heard again.

“This is invalid.”

The owner of the voice was a middle-aged Taoist monk with gray hair.

He is Lee Hee-chan, the owner of the reception hall.

Hanbin asked.

“Why do you say it is invalid?”

“I cannot recognize swordsmanship that is performed without drawing the sword. Youngest Prince.”

Hanbin looked closely at his lips.

It was a smiling look, not a complaint.

Hanbin suddenly recalled his memories of his past life.

His inaction is at its peak.

However, because I was in charge of the reception, I rarely had to cross swords.

Perhaps he saw this moment as an opportunity to fight.

Hanbin asked again.

“What should I do?”

“If the youngest prince accepts my ten seconds, I will acknowledge it.”

Hanbin looked closely at his body.

There were two yellow dots.

It was a king!

A previously non-existent knot appeared when he applied for the military service.

Hanbin shouted in delight.

However, there was a price to pay for standing in line late.

Hanbin raised his hand again and spread out five fingers.

Swish!

The hostess tilted her head, not knowing what it meant.

“Master Sa, what does that mean?”

“If you want to compete with me, pay me.”

“What is that… … .”

“I certainly gave you a chance. But you didn’t show up earlier, so what’s your intention in proposing a secret meeting to me now? There’s an old saying that time is money.”

“Then how much is it?”

“It’s five nyang.”

“Hmm… … Five nyang of iron?”

“No, it’s a favor.”

“Huh, such a harsh treatment… … .”

When the hostess trailed off, Hanbin shouted.

“It’s been five nyang so far, and if anyone wants to join after this fight, I’ll raise it to ten nyang. Next time, it’ll be twenty nyang.”

Hanbin’s calculations were resolute.

If anyone raises an objection after the match is over, the amount will be doubled.

The only one smiling now was Kagigun.

The group that was trying to get Jujakgakju thought they had gotten a freebie.

“As they say, it’s better to get hit first… … .”

His words were cut off by the cold glare in Pang Kang-wi’s eyes.

The glare from Peng Kang-wi’s eyes gave strength to the proposal of Han Bin, the candidate for Sogaju.

As the atmosphere became one in which the head of the household acknowledged, changes occurred in the room.

The footnotes and elders who wanted to fight came out.

Woof woof.

Hanbin glanced to the side and called out to So Daeseop.

“Cow lord.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“The owner will take care of it. We will collect the expenses in advance.”

“Yes, my lord.”

So Dae-seop went to the hostess Lee Hee-chan and received five nyang of silver.

And he reached out to the elders and footnotes at the back of the line.

Although there was some resistance, the collection went smoothly.

This is because if Hanbin becomes incapacitated and cannot perform the dance, the money will be returned.

The hostess asked about their promise.

“If I win, will you give it back to me? Sa Gongja.”

“Of course. I hope you will teach me, my lord.”

The corners of the hostess’s mouth went up at Hanbin’s words.

At that moment, the signal from the Pangkang River rang out again, signaling the start of the battle.

thud!

Hanbin pulled out his sword and threw its scabbard on the floor.

Not only can the same number not be eaten twice, but his realm is at its peak.

I had to do my best.

It seemed like the same thing happened to Lee Hee-chan.

He looked at Hanbin with sharp eyes.

There was no sign of Lee Hee-chan yielding to his junior. He ran at full speed.

Two steps ahead, the hostess Lee Hee-chan’s paw rose like a tiger’s paw and came down directly toward Han Bin’s crown.

phut!

Hanbin quickly took a step to the left.

Whirlwind.

At the same time, he stabbed with his sword.

Whoosh!

The opponent, as if he had expected this, tried to strike back with his sword.

At that time, Hanbin retrieved the sword.

When the opponent’s sword cut through the air, Hanbin struck his shoulder with the sword wave instead of the blade.

puck!

Since it was not an attack that would end the match, the hostess Lee Hee-chan drew a horizontal line while staggering.

phut!

Hanbin quickly stepped back, but felt an empty space in the front of his clothes.

Flutter.

Hanbin’s clothes hem was cut off.

Someone shouted in a trembling voice.

“It’s the spirit of a sword.”

“The hostess is determined to capture the youngest prince.”

There was a commotion here and there.

Hanbin took two steps back.

If it had been just a little deeper, I would have been in a coma for about a month.

It was Hanbin’s mistake.

The skin was slightly damaged by the pottery, and blood was seeping out from the front.

Of course, I have already reserved a week for Shinsae.

But Hanbin couldn’t help but laugh.

[Check the knot with the dragon’s eye.]

[You have obtained the merit in the basic section of the Yongrin Sword Technique.]

[force, force, force]

[merit, merit, merit, merit]

[Return]

Hanbin couldn’t stop laughing at the words that filled the basic section.

It meant his own development.

Hee-chan Lee, the hostess, got angry at Han-bin’s laughter and came running.

Buck, buck!

His sword and Hanbin’s sword clashed, creating sparks.

After a while.

“after.”

Hanbin took a deep breath and sharpened his sword.

Hanbin’s shirt was tattered like a rag.

There were five people Hanbin faced in total.

No one drew their swords against Hanbin, who had received five swords.

The biggest reason is not because I’m scared of Hanbin, but because if I push myself a little harder here, I feel like I’ll have to squeeze Hanbin’s coffin.

Here is Hanbin’s changed appearance.

Previously, Hanbin was clearly the biggest coward in Habuk who would faint at the sight of blood. However, even though blood was dripping from his tattered shirt, he showed no signs of fainting.

In their eyes, Hanbin was no longer a coward from Habuk.

Finally, I felt a strange energy from Hanbin.

The sight of Hanbin laughing with his upper body covered in blood was bizarre and terrifying to anyone who saw it.

Hanbin looked into the empty space amidst everyone’s hot gaze.

[Check the seal with the dragon’s eyes.]

[You have obtained the merit in the basic section of the Yongrin Sword Technique.]

[Speed, speed, speed, speed, speed… … .]

[Body, body, body, body, body]

[force, force, force]

[Achievement, achievement, achievement, achievement, achievement… … .]

[Return]

Even the merits were filled to ten.

Right now, my internal energy is stirring in my danjeon.

About ten years, based on past life standards.

It was clear that each piece of Gong (功) represented ten years of internal energy.

That was when.

The emergency caller floated the text as if speaking.

[The application section has been opened.]

At the same time, the pages of the Yonglin Sword Technique book flipped over.

[Applications]

[In the application section, we will create a Yongrin Sword Technique that suits your body and abilities.]

[… … ]

Hanbin tilted his head as he read the somewhat longer explanation than the basic version.

‘What? You clearly said twenty years… … .’

At the end of the question, the phrase appeared again.

[You have completed twenty years of learning the basics of the Yongrin Sword Technique.]

Hanbin seemed to know what it meant.

What the emergency was talking about was the twenty years of his past and present life combined.

Even in his previous life, he lived to learn the Yonglin Sword Technique, so Bi-geup acknowledged it. Han-bin felt strange.

One thing that was disappointing was that I couldn’t check the application right away.

But where is this?

It was an even more valuable reward because it was achieved thanks to the crowd that interfered with him.

At that moment, Gaju Peng Gangwi clapped his hands.

Clap, clap.

Everyone looked at the pendulum.

Peng Kang-wi said, extending his sword.

“Whether it’s a sword or a dagger, isn’t it enough to just cut off the enemy’s head?”

It meant that he would admit it.

One of the footnotes came forward, poking fun at me.

“But it is against the family rule that a candidate for the Sogaju family must bring a sword as a new weapon… … .”

Peng Kang-wi cut him off by showing his palm.

“Does our family have such a rule?”

“hmm.”

The footnote that expressed its opposition took a step back with a displeased expression.

What Peng Kangwei said was right.

Since the martial arts of the Peng family were a Taoist method, it was natural for them to learn the Tao, and there was no family rule that said they could not hold a sword.

When the commotion died down, Peng Kang-wi looked at Han Bin again.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, that’s enough. I swear that I will protect the honor of Pangga with this sword and my life.”

As Hanbin raised his sword high, Peng Gangwi said.

“From today, I recognize you as a candidate for the Sogaju. Take a rest today.”

A cheer echoed at the same time.

“and!”

“wow!”

At the direction of the head of the household, whether they liked it or not, everyone put on a mask and cheered.

As the cheering died down, Peng Kangwi looked at Han Bin again.

“Change your clothes first.”

After saying those words, Peng Kangwi walked back to Taesa.

Then one of the elders approached Hanbin and clapped his hands.

“Congratulations on becoming the first swordsman among the candidates for the Habuk Pengga Sogaju.”

Everyone nodded at his words.

Hanbin smiled brightly and took the lottery ticket.

“Thank you, but I don’t think the first one means anything.”

Everyone tilted their heads at Hanbin’s words.

When the room became quiet, as if everyone was curious, Hanbin continued speaking.

“I don’t think being first means anything if you’re not the best.”

At Hanbin’s last words, everyone coughed and looked up at the ceiling.

Hanbin felt that there was still dissatisfaction in their eyes.

It was more like hostility than mere discontent.

That was when.

Someone came running in a hurry.

Looking closely, I saw that he was one of the guards guarding the main gate.

He glanced at Hanbin, handed the lottery ticket to Gaju, and opened his mouth.

“I have requested to see you at the Musi Sword House now.”

When the word “Musi Geomga” was mentioned, the surrounding area started to stir.

Contrary to the reactions of those around him, Peng Kang-wi asked as if he didn’t know what was going on.

“What is the Mu clan sword?”

When Peng Kang-wi tilted his head, the general whispered in his ear.

“Your Majesty, Prince Peng Hanbin has a fiancée… … .”

Only then did Peng Kang-wi nod his head as if he remembered.

“I can’t help it since my in-laws are here.”

As Peng Kang-wi tried to move, Han Bin took a step forward.

“I’m sorry, but I have a question for you.”

Curiosity appeared on Peng Kang-wi’s face. He then erased his expression for a moment and spoke.

“Tell me.”

“Who is the guest from the Musi Sword House just now?”

“Why are you curious about that?”

As Peng Kang-wi looked at Han Bin with curious eyes, Musa opened his mouth instead from behind.

“Princess Musoyul, the second daughter of the Musi Sword Family, is waiting with the general in attendance.”

At Musa’s words, Hanbin said to Peng Kangwi while giving him a prize.

“It doesn’t seem like a place for you to go, my lord.”

Peng Kang-wi asked with curious eyes.

“Isn’t this my place? Tell me in detail.”

“Just now, the Mu clan said that the general and the princess have arrived. I think it would be best for the general and I to go. And there was a minor conflict with the Mu clan’s Mu So-wi.”

“A collision?”

“It’s a minor misunderstanding, so don’t worry. I told you to resolve it, so I will take responsibility and resolve it.”

Peng Kang-wi looked into Han Bin’s eyes without saying a word.

He opened his mouth, raising the corners of his lips for a moment.

“Let’s do that.”

Peng Kang-wi nodded to the general.
