293. Water bandits of Mt. Mireung (2)

Dangi-myeong sighed and looked up at the sky at the sight of Hanbin pointing to Mt. Miryeong.

“phew.”

It was a breathing sound filled with many emotions.

In fact, before meeting Hanbin, I was proud that no one in the world of martial arts could touch Sacheondangga.

Well, I thought that even if I didn’t sell the name of Sacheondangga, no one would be able to harm me.

However, after experiencing several incidents, a feeling of anxiety settled in a corner of my heart that I might not be able to safely reach Sacheon.

Now, it was important to quickly bring the youngest son of the Habuk Peng family to the Sacheon Dang family.

While Danggi-myeong was looking at Mt. Mireung with complicated feelings, Hanbin walked towards the carriage.

Now it was time to set off.

In front of the carriage, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa were waiting for Hanbin.

It seemed like the route had been decided to cross Mt. Miryeong.

Danggi-myeong looked at Mt. Mireung with his arms crossed as if he was thinking about something.

The idea was to try to find a way to get through there as safely as possible.

At that moment, Danggi-myeong moved his lips as if he had decided on something.

For a moment, he shook his head.

A look of conflict, unable to make up one’s mind.

After hesitating for a while, Danggi-myeong bit his lips as if he had made up his mind.

The name of the party looked at the party leader.

“Right now, lower the flag of Sacheondangga.”

“What are you talking about? Why are you telling us to lower the flag? If we just go over Mt. Mireung, Sacheon is right in front of us. If we lower the flag for no reason and they don’t know that we are Sacheon Party members, what will happen if we get into trouble?”

“Are you sure about your judgment now?”

“Of course. Has there ever been a martial arts faction that approached the flag of Sacheondangga before?”

“Is there anyone in Chil-eum-hyeon who doesn’t know that we are Sacheon-dangga?”

“Well… … .”

“I have just realized that the people who know us best are the ones we are most afraid of.”

“Hmm, that’s true, but… … .”

“There are two reasons for hiding the flag of the Sacheondangga. The first is to avoid being exposed to the eyes of enemies who are targeting us, and the second is to hide our power.”

“Ah, if it’s strength… … . Yes, I understand.”

Dangdokdae pounded his chest with a proud expression.

When he said he was watching the enemy’s reaction, I felt a sense of resistance, but when he said he was hiding his strength, I somehow understood.

It was a heart-warming party.

The officer who was watching this spoke again with a smiling face.

“Then, let’s do it.”

“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty.”

The commander shouted at the rest of his men while holding a pistol.

“Hide the flag as instructed by the Lord!”

After his words, his subordinates lowered the flag of the Sacheondangga.

The flag was folded neatly and stored in the carriage.

They were just about to leave.

A group of horsemen approached from behind, raising a cloud of yellow.

Coming soon.

Coming soon.

They rode their horses as if they had no regard for Hanbin and his party.

Hanbin tilted his head, and the Sacheondangga warriors, including Danggi-myeong, touched the scabbards on their waists.

They were attacking in case of an emergency.

The yellow dust protagonists gradually approached Hanbin and his group.

While everyone was tense, only Hanbin tilted his head.

However, none of them noticed Hanbin’s expression.

Everyone was tense and preparing for any eventuality.

It was a moment when the warriors, including Danggi-myeong, were swallowing dry saliva and becoming tense.

Whew.

The group running towards them, kicking up yellow dust, ignored Hanbin and Danggi-myeong and passed by.

Danggi-myeong narrowed his eyes and looked at their backs.

The yellow uniform had a tremendous momentum.

A sect that wears yellow uniforms?

No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind.

My worries ended here, because I didn’t have the luxury of caring about them.

“after.”

I looked around, sighing in relief.

First of all, our current goal is to get from here to Sacheon by the shortest distance.

For that to happen, nothing had to happen in the future.

Danggi-myeong, who was looking around, wiggled his eyebrows.

It was because I suddenly felt alive.

The place where life blossomed was the side with blue flowers and snowdrops.

what?

The panicked Dang Gi-myeong quickly ran to Cheong-hwa.

Danggi-myeong, who had drawn his sword and was running, stopped in front of Cheong-hwa.

The incredible murderous intent that we have now is coming from Cheonghwa and Seolhwa.

It was Cheonghwa and Seolhwa who always smiled brightly.

But why are you trying to kill me like this?

Seolhwa knew that he had learned martial arts.

Cheonghwa was known to be an outsider when it came to martial arts.

However, the murderous intent that Seolhwa exuded was not that of an ordinary person, and the murderous intent that Cheonghwa exuded was also not ordinary.

Danggi-myeong looked into Cheong-hwa’s eyes.

The corners of her eyes are so moist that she looks like she might shed tears at any moment.

For some reason, Danggi-myeong had been feeling a strange feeling towards this child for some time.

The name of the person asked.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, the one my brother bought for me… … .”

Cheonghwa trailed off.

Instead, he looked at his hands.

In Cheonghwa’s hand, which resembled a fernbrake, was a half-bitten glutinous rice cake.

The name of the party also confirmed the story next to it.

Seolhwa was staring blankly at the half-eaten candy that was left behind.

Danggi-myeong couldn’t understand the current situation at all.

Why do you say that you will die after eating glutinous rice cakes and sweets?

Danggi-myeong spoke to Cheong-hwa as if soothing her.

“Speak calmly and slowly.”

“The rice cake that my brother bought me got covered in dirt like this. It got so bad that it was unedible.”

Cheonghwa held out a rice cake.

“Now that I think about it, a little while ago… … .”

“Yes. It’s them. They made rice cakes like this and left them there.”

Cheonghwa pointed to a place where yellow dust was still thick.

At that time, Seolhwa also joined in.

“Mine too. It turned out like this. If we meet again, I won’t leave it alone.”

At that moment, Hanbin appeared, looking around.

“You guys are going to die. It’s the way of the martial world to not play around with food. Calm down. Just past the mountain, you’ll come across a fairly busy street. The Tang Confucius will buy you some new snacks.”

Hanbin pointed to the name of the party in a cheerful mood.

Danggi-myeong unconsciously caressed the sac in his bosom.

Although there wasn’t much money left, it was because my finances were tight.

At that time, Hanbin stood next to Danggi-myeong with a kind face.

“Your Majesty the Tang.”

“Yes, Prince Peng, if you have something to say to me… … .”

“Do you need urgent money?”

“Urgent money?”

“Now that I look at it, it seems like the money I brought has run out, but if you need any money, please let me know. I’ll lend you some at a low price.”

“What do you mean… … .”

“Just tell me if you need it. I’ll give it to you cheaper than others.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin quietly began to lead the way.

At that sight, Danggi-myeong opened his mouth as if he had lost his mind.

* * *

They were just about to pass the halfway point of the mountain.

The sound of clashing weapons was heard from the top of the mountain.

visor.

visor.

At that moment, Hanbin spoke softly.

“I’ll go up first, so everyone come slowly!”

After saying that, Hanbin disappeared from his seat.

Sasa-sak.

Dangi-myeong shouted urgently when he saw Hanbin disappearing like a mirage.

“Please wait a moment, Prince Peng!”

However, Hanbin had not left even a trace.

Danggi-myeong looked around excitedly.

If Hanbin is wrong, then all the hard work up to now will be in vain.

However, the Red Blood Tiger Squad, Akbigwang, and Seo Jaeoh are walking along as if nothing happened.

The commander shouted at them urgently.

“For now, I will go and help Prince Peng!”

“Who are you worried about now? Just leave it alone.”

Akbigwang shook his head.

“But if you go up like that alone… … .”

“You’ve seen it before. It’s like a squirrel worrying about a tiger, so let’s go up slowly. Tang Confucius.”

Akbigwang pointed upwards nonchalantly.

At that time, Seo Jae-oh also got involved.

“That’s what the evil prince said. Let’s just go up slowly and see what happens.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes, you can.”

“Then I believe what the Plum Blossom Sword Association says.”

Seo Jae-oh raised the corners of his mouth at the mention of the plum blossom sword.

It was a nickname I suddenly got thanks to Hanbin, but for some reason, I felt good whenever I was called by that nickname.

This expression also gave Danggi-myeong a sense of relief.

Only then did Danggi-myeong’s expression soften.

* * *

Why did Hanbin go up in such a hurry, begging in the 18 steps?

The reason was very simple.

It was to watch the fight.

As Hanbin had expected, both of those currently facing off were from the political faction.

They would not kill each other, but they would do their best to subdue each other.

As Hanbin smiled brightly, the two groups clashed violently.

Buck! Buck!

A group of people in yellow uniforms and a group of what appeared to be bandits were engaged in a decisive battle.

The resonant sound created by the sword echoed through the mountainside.

Hanbin crouched down and watched their fight.

The exchange of attacks and defenses was more intense than expected.

Besides, they didn’t threaten each other’s lives.

It seemed like the goal was to subdue the opponent.

How much time has passed?

The yellow uniform gradually changed color, perhaps due to the intense movement.

Originally, the uniform was not yellow, but had turned yellowish brown due to dust.

As the dust cleared, some of the original blue uniform appeared.

On the other hand, the opponent remained unchanged.

Judging by his shabby appearance, it seemed believable even if he said it was open.

At that moment, a shadow appeared in front of Hanbin, who was watching the fight with his back to the sun.

Hanbin said without looking back.

“You came sooner than I thought.”

“Brother, why aren’t you coming out?”

Akbi Kwang tilted his head and sat down next to Hanbin.

Hanbin glanced to the side and answered.

“Why did I come out?”

“Didn’t you come up here because of those thieves?”

“What kind of thief are you? Those guys are our enemies.”

Hanbin pointed to a group of swordsmen practicing swordsmanship, their blue uniforms fluttering in the wind.

Akbigwang, who had been watching for a while, tilted his head.

“You look familiar, brother.”

“Of course. They’re Namgung Se-ga.”

“Huh, is it Namgung Se-ga?”

“Those are the guys who passed us by earlier.”

“But how did you know that it was Namgung Se-ga? No matter how much I look at it, I can’t figure it out.”

“Even though the clothes were covered in dust, the eagle engraved on the scabbard was clearly visible.”

Hanbin chuckled.

As Hanbin said, the eagle was the symbol of the Namgung family.

At least among the sects, Namgung Se-ga was the only one to use the eagle as a symbol for their sect.

As Hanbin said, their scabbards and swords had eagle designs clearly engraved on them.

Akbigwang nodded.

“Oh, I see. But why do you say that Namgung Se-ga is the enemy?”

“I forbade you to eat sweets and rice cakes. You should be held responsible for that.”

“Sweet cookies and rice cakes… … .”

“I’m a guy who never forgets kindness and enmity. If you left without even apologizing just now, you should pay the price.”

“Are you saying that you will hit the back of the head of Namgung Se-ga who is fighting against those bandits?”

“Why would I hit them in the back of the head? If you keep fighting like that, the winner will be decided. If I step forward then, they’ll know how to get out of here.”

“No matter what, we are from the same political party, so you want me to watch Namgung Se-ga get attacked by thieves? That doesn’t make sense, hyung.”

Akbigwang tapped the two single spears together and joined them into one.

Then he snorted as if he was going to run straight at the thieves.

It looked just like a bull stamping its feet.

Then Hanbin said.

“Look at that female leader over there.”

“The female leader? The female leader the merchant spoke of earlier? The fierce leader you’re talking about?”

Akbi Gwang looked at the female leader who seemed to be the head of the Namgung family in the corner, pointing a sword at him.

I think I know why the merchant said it was so brutal.

It was because of the female leader’s momentum.

The momentum was like that of a Cheonsan Blood Wolf baring its teeth.

Akbigwang, who had been watching for a while, tilted his head.

Because the swordsmanship looked familiar.

It was natural that Namgung Se-ga was familiar with swordsmanship, but the female leader’s swordsmanship was also not unfamiliar.

Then Hanbin said.

“I promised to find it for you, Bigwang. I kept my promise.”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

However, Akbi Kwang’s eyes rolled back as if he didn’t even hear Hanbin’s words.

The evil spirit, with only the whites of his eyes remaining, grabbed the spear and ran towards them.

“Those Namgung Se-ga bastards!”

The evil spirits were raising dust and gaining momentum.

Hanbin’s mouth watered at the sight.

“Oh, really. That’s why I came up here alone… … .”

Hanbin looked at Akbi Kwang’s back, his voice trailing off.
