Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 281



Only Noblemtl

281. Heroes are not born, they are made (1)

Even if you escape one trap, another one will be set.

What if we escape that trap?

He would cast a net and catch them. That was Tang Moon-ho’s hunting method.

Today, Sacheondangga had no choice but to become a fish caught in his own net.

Tang Moon-ho smacked his lips without realizing it.

In some ways, it could be said to be the greatest pleasure that Tang Moon-ho had ever felt.

A family that ignored him.

The elders of the family who only took from me and did not provide me with even a little help.

He brought glory to his family’s name, but what he received in return was betrayal.

The price for that was to be reaped thoroughly starting today.

Dang Moon-ho took his gaze away from Han Bin and looked at the county magistrate in the distance.

The aura of the magistrate whose eyes met mine was unusual.

Perhaps it seemed as if he was trying to thoroughly listen to what I asked for.

Tang Moon-ho slightly lowered his head.

However, the magistrate just looked on expressionlessly.

Dang Moon-ho liked the magistrate’s appearance. He accepted bribes without letting on and silently devoted himself to his work.

Come to think of it… … .

Tang Moon-ho tilted his head.

This is because the person in charge of Chil-eum-hyeon, a classmate I had known since the center, was not visible.

At that moment, a maid who served the royal family passed by and looked at Tang Mun-ho.

Tang Moon-ho blinked his eyes quickly.

* * *

Hanbin waved the blue spot and touched a willow tree that served as shade.

A secret movement that makes no sound.

Even though it looked like he was just leaning against a willow tree with his hands on it, Hanbin had a bet in his hands.

For a moment the willow tree shook slightly and its leaves fell.

The leaves fell on the chair in a spiral pattern.

Thud.

Hanbin quietly watched the leaves falling like a drizzle. When the drizzle created by the leaves stopped, Hanbin quietly returned to his seat.

The evil spirit who was following behind tilted his head.

I went with him because he said he was looking for something, but Hanbin didn’t bring anything.

Akbigwang couldn’t control his curiosity and asked.

“Brother, couldn’t you find it?”

“Of course I found it.”

“You found it? Didn’t you just wander around?”

“Because what I was looking for was a person… … .”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin quietly looked at the yellow seat.

Then the food started to come out.

A chicken for good luck, a fish for leisure, and noodles for longevity were all on one tray.

Hanbin and his party chatted for over an hour after that.

Of course, Hanbin continued to watch Dang Moon-ho.

The look of confusion was quite noticeable.

That’s understandable, since nothing happened in the blue spot.

All the secret weapons placed on the seats were removed by Hanbin.

In other words, all the traps set by Tang Moon-ho had been removed.

Hanbin spread out his hands.

A willow leaf was in Hanbin’s hand.

It was a thin leaf that no one would find suspicious even if it fell on a chair.

A rough estimate from the smell was that the willow leaves contained a small amount of poison.

It is called the evening poison.

It was a poison that, when buried in a secret room or an object, would remain dormant when exposed to sunlight, but would become active immediately when it was not exposed to sunlight.

For that reason, it was a poison that could instantly poison the target if used at night.

Therefore, if you sit on willow leaves that have the poison of the master, you will get poisoned right away because the sunlight will be blocked.

If it seeps into clothing and slowly poisons the target, the target will collapse without any known cause.

However, there was one drawback when applying it to willow leaves rather than a solid iron rod.

That means it could be blown away by the wind.

Well, Tang Moon-ho thought that the willow leaves had blown away in the wind and was going to prepare his next plan.

At that moment, a large boat passed by on the river and stopped.

At the same time, firecrackers began to explode here and there.

Bang, bang.

A fire was lit on a boat stopped in the river with the firecrackers.

At the same time, dancers continued to dance on the ship.

The real show has begun.

It was a time when people were staring in awe.

Suddenly a scream rang out.

evil!

That too, for a moment, was soon buried in the sound of fireworks and music.

Of course, the guards and several unmanned personnel including Hanbin heard the sound.

Someone shouted.

“Stop the music immediately!”

“Stop the music!”

At the end of that shout, someone shouted with all their might.

“The whole country protects the royal family!”

“The units are blockading the perimeter. I’ll say it again. Blockade this place. And the rest of the soldiers… … .”

The urgency in his voice was enough to make the waves of the Chil-eum River ripple.

Hanbin, who intuitively felt that the time had come, nodded quietly.

Hanbin said to Seolhwa.

“Do as I say.”

“Yes, Confucius. But what about Cheong-hwa? She is with Confucius Dang-gi-myeong… … .”

Seolhwa looked to the side, trailing off.

Cheonghwa was taken away by Danggi Myeong for a while.

“It’s okay, just leave it alone.”

“Yes, then.”

After finishing speaking, Seolhwa quietly disappeared from her seat.

The surprised Akbigwang asked.

“How are you going back, brother?”

“You must never come forward. It is not your place… … If you want to come forward, disguise yourself.”

“A disguise?”

“No. Even if you disguise yourself, no one here will recognize you, so it would be better to just sit there and watch quietly.”

“… … .”

“It’s not that I’m ignoring you, but I’m afraid things might get messed up. Just eat the leftovers and watch the show.”

“A performance?”

“I think it’s going to be a fun show.”

“Anyway, if I think it’s urgent, I’ll step forward.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Hanbin finished speaking and smiled faintly.

Then he quietly disappeared, leaving behind only the sound of his clothes rustling.

Sasa-sak.

* * *

It was a crucible of madness.

A cold sweat broke out on the back of the military leader in charge of security here, Jang Hu.

He was a military commander in charge of a thousand soldiers from the Honam Province.

At the request of the imperial family, he led five hundred soldiers.

When he applied to this place, Jang-hoo was so happy and full of dreams.

Because it was an opportunity to catch the eye of the royal family, the dignitaries, and the high-ranking officials gathered here.

There, you could enjoy the festival and escape from the routine of training and repetitive missions.

It’s like killing two birds with one stone!

But murder out of nowhere?

Looking around, I saw a hundred soldiers belonging to the platoon standing guard around the yellow seats.

Inside, one can see an official calming down the royal family.

The official was Jang Jin-taek, the second-in-command of Honam Province, whom Jang Hou had brought along.

Fortunately, he was a veteran in the central political arena, so he was able to grasp the situation and calm the royal family down in the blink of an eye.

“phew.”

Jang-hu sighed. The guest wasn’t injured, and the royal family had calmed down, so it seemed like he could avoid having his head hung.

Jang-hu, who had barely calmed his racing heart, quickly went to where the soldiers were gathered.

Surrounded by soldiers, in front of the blue seat, was a female doctor lying down.

As Jang-hu approached the female doctor, the soldier shouted.

“Your Majesty, you must not go any further!”

“What does that mean? Report in detail.”

“The skin under the eyes has turned black, and the hands and neck appear to be gradually turning blue… … .”

“Hmm, so it’s poison?”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s what I was taught. And here… … .”

The soldier trailed off and held out a silver needle to Jang-hu.

Jang-hu looked closely at the tip of the silver needle.

The silver needle had turned black, not silver.

This was evidence that he had come into contact with the poison.

Poisoning?

This wasn’t a problem I had to deal with alone.

Jang-hu shouted with all his might.

“Listen up, soldiers! We need the help of a senator. Bring the senator here immediately.”

“Yes, sir, I understand!”

As soon as it was time for a cup of tea, the members of parliament gathered together.

Most of the members of the National Assembly were reluctant to approach the collapsed female doctor.

It was obvious that he had been poisoned, and since he was dead, he was afraid and did not dare approach the doctor.

Then one of the members said,

“I heard there’s a poison expert here who’s better than us.”

“Who is that?”

“If it’s poison, isn’t Sacheondangga the best?”

“If it’s Sacheondangga… … . Oh, and come to think of it, I also said hello a little while ago.”

The members of the National Assembly all thought of the master from Sacheondangga. It was understandable, since they had all greeted the party leader at least once, and they could not forget him even if they tried.

At that moment, someone nodded as well.

“Haha, I saw it too. The Sacheondang family members were also present today.”

As they continued to murmur, Jang Hoo shouted to his soldiers again.

“Invite the guests from Sacheondangga!”

“all right.”

The soldier ran quickly and brought the Danggi-myeong and Dangdok-dae from Sacheon-dangga.

They arrived in the blink of an eye because they were right next to each other.

The first one to speak to Jang-hu was Dang Moon-ho.

“Isn’t that General Jang?”

“Oh, isn’t that Elder Dangmunho? I heard you were here today, but why are you with the Sacheondang family… .”

The two appeared to have known each other before.

Before Zhang Hu could finish his question, Tang Moon-ho spoke.

“I’m also from Sacheondangga.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that… … .”

When Jang-hoo trailed off as if he felt sorry, Dang-mun-ho quickly answered him.

“That’s fine, let’s get to work. I don’t know, but the people here are experts in Sacheondangga. They’ll be helpful.”

Dangmunho pointed to the name of the party and the party’s official residence.

The person who was introduced stepped forward and gave a winning ticket.

“It is said to be the name of the Sacheondangga party.”

“I am Zhang Hu, a man living in Hunan Province. I have heard of the fame of the Tang Confucius.”

Jang-hu lightly threw away the lottery ticket.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

“A soldier passing by found this woman collapsed. The problem is that we don’t even know which hospital she belongs to. And if you look at her skin, it’s clear that she was poisoned.”

“Can I check it myself?”

“I was going to ask you anyway.”

“Yes, then please move people back. This is to prevent any unpleasant situations that may arise.”

“If it’s to prevent any unforeseen circumstances… … .”

“I don’t think this woman is the target.”

“What does that mean?”

“Would you have done this just to kill an unknown female doctor?”

At the command of the commander, Jang-hu turned his head and shouted to the soldiers.

“Strengthen your security! Deploy the third and fourth divisions outside to protect them!”

Jang-hoo chewed his dry lips.

It was brought to mind that what was important now was not tracking down the culprit, but protecting the royal family.

Jang-hu, who had strengthened his security, asked.

“I would like to continue hearing the opinions of His Majesty the Tang.”

“Yes, I will continue speaking. The doctor this woman serves is probably not from this world. Of course, there must have been a reason to get rid of this doctor or the doctor she serves.”

“What do you think it is?”

“I think it’s because it got in the way of targeting someone else.”

“Then the culprit hasn’t escaped yet?”

“If the criminal was going to run away, he wouldn’t have done this in front of the royal family.”

“hmm.”

“First, please hand over the doctors and soldiers around here. If they’ve set up a device to spread poison in this doctor’s body, this place could be turned into a wasteland.”

“All right.”

Jang-hu nodded and turned his head to look at his subordinate.

“Listen! Soldiers and senators, all step outside the ten-strong area.”

“Yes, I will do so immediately.”

The soldier began to push people back, waving his pistol.

Only then did Danggi-myeong put on gloves and begin to examine the woman’s body.

Although they were the Sacheondang people who usually ate poison as a seasoning, they were not the kind of people who would do something stupid like touch it without knowing what kind of poison it was.

Because the poison they use is so dangerous, they are also sensitive to poison attacks.

The doctor pricked the discolored area several times with a needle and rubbed the skin with a gloved hand.

But strangely enough, his expression gradually hardened.

Although dead, he strangely maintained his body temperature.

There were discolored areas, but the skin was not necrotic.

You would think he was dead since his pulse had stopped and his breathing had stopped, but he wasn’t.

There was only one poison that could create this phenomenon.

The name of the poison is Samjeolchuhondok (Three Sections Chasing the Soul Poison).

The lips of the person in question twitched.

But I couldn’t bring myself to open my mouth.

This is because the poison could only be made using the Tang family’s own secret recipe.
