337. The Secret of the Dragon’s Sword (4)

Cheonghwa smiled as she saw the distance to the entrance of Naruto.

“Of course. Are you ignoring me, Your Majesty?”

Hanbin waved his hand as Seolhwa looked at him with a sharp face.

“No. When did I ever say that I ignored you?”

“Okay, now I can really lie down and eat candy at that distance.”

“Okay, I got it.

Hanbin smiled and nodded.

Cheonghwa followed suit and continued speaking.

“That distance is nothing to me anymore.”

“Yeah, I trust you.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin flew up to the entrance of Naruto.

Sasa-sak.

Hanbin settled into Naruto. The sound was as natural as the rustling of blades of grass.

The sound of landing echoed repeatedly behind him.

Thud. Thud.

Hanbin said, looking back.

“Everything is good, but I think the sound should be lowered a bit.”

“Oh, I thought I’d be praised this time… … .”

The snow puffed up the ball.

Cheonghwa behind him quietly looked elsewhere.

“I could have done better.”

Hanbin smiled at their words and turned his head to check his stomach.

There was no wind in the calm waves.

I thought it would be okay to leave it there for a few days.

Hanbin, who checked the ship, turned his head and walked slowly.

Seolhwa tilted her head and followed Hanbin blindly.

Hanbin walked around with a stagger as if he was out to shop, looking around.

The place where Hanbin’s gaze stopped was about fifty steps away from the entrance to Naruto.

The story that followed looked at that place.

In the place where Hanbin’s gaze was directed, there were several beggars putting out their begging bowls.

Those beggars were all different groups, each wearing different clothing.

One beggar was bald and wearing tattered clothes, while the other, although his hair was gray, was dressed decently.

His clothes were so neat that anyone who saw him would think he had recently become a beggar.

And behind him, a child who seemed to have just been pushed out of the ranks of beggars was weakly holding out his begging bowl.

Hanbin, who was looking at that place, slowly moved his feet.

After a while, Hanbin walked over there and stood in front of the beggars.

Seol-hwa, who followed the scene, asked cautiously.

“Confucius, why have you come here?”

“I came here to find a beggar. Do I have any other intentions?”

When Hanbin pointed to the beggars and spoke, Seolhwa tilted her head.

“The beggar here doesn’t even have a knot. Then isn’t he just a beggar? He’s not even a beggar in the open, so there’s no reason for Confucius to meet him.”

“Snowdrop, where is there any distinction between high and low among beggars? Beggars, whether they are in the open or in the market, all live under the same sky.”

“But even the open beggars have martial arts skills.”

Seolhwa tilted her head.

Her message was simple.

If Hanbin had any business, he would meet the beggars of Gaepo.

But no matter how I looked at the beggar in front of me, there was no knot.

“That’s your mistake. And just because there are no knots doesn’t mean it’s not open.”

That was when.

A beggar in the most shabby clothes stood up in front.

He was a beggar, wearing clothes that were full of pitiful holes.

The beggar looked at Hanbin, revealing his yellow teeth.

“Hey, why are you acting so bad, you beggar?”

“If you don’t call a beggar a beggar, then what do you call him?”

“But if you keep calling me a beggar, it makes me feel bad to hear that.”

The beggar opened his eyes wide.

Hanbin said with a kind face at that sight.

“I’m sorry, beggar.”

“Oh my, are you going to try it now?”

“I don’t mean to suggest that you do this, but it seems like discipline has fallen from grace since you don’t even know that a nobleman has come to visit.”

“You said discipline? Who are you to talk about discipline?”

The beggar narrowed his eyebrows and looked at Hanbin.

Seol-hwa, who was watching this scene, tilted her head in puzzlement.

The beggar in front of me was clearly not an open person.

But judging from the way he spoke, he didn’t seem like an ordinary beggar.

At that time, Hanbin spoke softly to the beggar.

“The sky is high… … .”

Hanbin looked at the beggar, his voice trailing off.

The beggar just tilted his head and stared blankly at Hanbin as if he had no idea what he was talking about.

“What, what does that mean?”

Hanbin’s eyebrows twitched as the beggar asked again.

The beggar seemed embarrassed and took a step back.

“Why such a vicious expression… … .”

“No, since when did the mental state of beggars become so lax?”

Hanbin suddenly shouted.

The beggar, who had been retreating, hesitated and asked in a crawling voice.

“Why are you suddenly asking us… … .”

“Are you saying that in the open, they don’t even teach secret language to new recruits?”

Hanbin shook his head with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

At that sight, the youngest beggar at the back stood up.

The young beggar was the most normal in both face and clothing.

The beggar still stood in front of Hanbin with a pitiful expression.

The beggar spoke softly.

“This is because this friend is new. Your Majesty, please understand. I am an introduction from the Sacheon branch.”

After finishing his speech, the introduction turned to Hanbin and gave him a lottery ticket.

Then he gestured to the beggar who was just standing there blankly.

At that signal, they slowly retreated.

Hanbin snickered at their actions.

“Still, the overall education is pretty good.”

“Education? What do you mean?”

The introduction looked at Hanbin as if he found it absurd and kept sending signals with his finger to the rest of the beggars.

Hanbin smiled happily at their appearance.

It seemed as if the young beggar named Sogae was chastising the other beggars and making them retreat, but in reality, he was surrounding them in preparation for a clash with the enemy.

As evidence, the beggars who retreated to the back called in more beggars.

Dozens of beggars of unknown origin are now loitering around the surrounding walls.

Although he wasn’t looking at Hanbin, it was clear that he was holding a baton in his hand, ready to strike at him at any moment.

Hanbin wanted to praise their appearance like this.

But, the main point came first.

Hanbin spoke softly toward the introduction.

“The sky is high… … .”

“The land is vast.”

As the introduction began, Hanbin smiled and opened his mouth again.

“Home is where I am.”

“The sky is the ceiling.”

As the introduction ended, Hanbin looked at him quietly.

It’s as if he’s waiting for something.

At that sight, Hanbin took out a leather pouch from his bosom.

Then he rummaged through his leather pouch, took out a small piece of paper, and handed it to the man.

The introduction was confirmed after receiving the long-term partner.

The janggi pair should have the word “jol” written on them to be the appropriate size.

However, the janggi pair had Chu and Han written on the front and back respectively.

Although it was a long-term pair that was not commonly seen, the expression on the introduction was surprisingly calm.

Instead, he bowed his head towards Hanbin.

“Your Majesty, please come here.”

The deeply engulfed introduction pointed toward the fence with its hand.

Hanbin answered with a smile.

“thank you.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin followed the introduction.

The introduction took a few turns along the wall and then went into a hole in the wall.

Hanbin also passed through the hole without any problems.

As soon as we passed through the hole, the expression on the introduction changed completely.

The nervous look on his face disappeared as if it had never happened, and he was smiling brightly while looking at Hanbin.

Hanbin just folded his arms and smiled.

At that time, the introduction disappeared somewhere without a word.

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa, who were watching the scene from behind, looked at each other and nodded.

It’s an expression that asks if he knows what the situation is.

Hanbin, who saw their expressions, spoke in a low voice.

“This is where all information on openness is gathered. All information on the Sacheon region is transmitted through here.”

“Here we go? Then those beggars from before… … .”

Seolhwa glanced behind the wall.

Hanbin continued to explain quietly at that sight.

“Information is something confidential, so I can’t go around claiming to be open.”

“Oh, that’s interesting. But what was that long-sleeved shirt?”

“That chess piece is a symbol that can be used to buy and sell information or to use this place. The smallest chess piece has a first and a last marked on it, which is said to be one of the symbols of openness that means that although you are a beggar in reality, you are a king at heart.”

“Ah, so it was proof with a secret word and a sign.”

“And finally, the process of proving your identity up to the hole.”

“Is that a dog hole?”

“He who is not friends with the open will not pass through the hole.”

“Oh, I see.”

At that moment, Cheonghwa, who was behind, opened her mouth and turned blue.

“Wow, I hesitated a bit in front of that hole. What would have happened if I hadn’t gone in? Your Majesty?”

“I’ve never heard of that, but I think Cheonghwa might not be able to eat the kind of rice cake she likes anymore. Haha.”

Hanbin smiled while looking at Cheonghwa.

Of course, what Hanbin said was a joke.

There was no openness here to stop the Qinghua, which was a public institution.

There would probably be only a few unmanned units capable of properly defending themselves when the enemy appeared.

Most of them were specialized in light martial arts rather than martial arts that could suppress others.

If I had to say, I would call it a human messenger.

Well, they didn’t just convey information with their feet.

This is their home base now.

There were probably quite a few pigeons being raised in the back.

As Hanbin continued explaining about this place, laughter was heard from behind.

“Haha.”

At that sound, Hanbin and his group turned their heads.

There was a middle-aged beggar walking slowly towards him.

Hanbin had a feeling that he was the one in charge here.

Just by looking at the slightly protruding solar plexus, it was clear that he was a man beyond his prime.

Hanbin bowed his head slightly towards him.

“You must be the person in charge here.”

“Haha. Who on earth are you, sir, to know this place so well, which is so well hidden even in the open?”

“That’s a secret.”

“Haha, I can’t help it. As expected of a disciple of a master.”

“What do you mean, sir?”

“Aren’t you the disciple of Hong Chil-gae? He is just as the rumors say, with his handsome face and red uniform.”

“He’s handsome, but I don’t know about the rest.”

“Ah… … . So you were working secretly. Then I will pretend not to know. My name is Ju Yang-gae of Sacheon Gae-ri. What would you like me to do for you?”

Joo Yang-gae looked at Han Bin and waited for an answer.

Hanbin turned his head and looked at Seolhwa.

Then he snapped his fingers.

Exactly.

At that sound, Seolhwa came carrying a bundle.

Seolhwa unpacked her bundle in front of Hanbin.

The story unfolded the bundle flat and placed paper on top of it.

The one who was most surprised by that sight was Cheonghwa.

“Sister, when did you prepare that?”

“I bought it on my way here earlier.”

“Geez, where would I get that chance… … .”

Cheonghwa was so surprised that she couldn’t even speak.

Seolhwa smiled brightly at that sight.

“What’s so great about it that you’re so surprised?”

“How many maids in the Central Plains can prepare all this while hiding from the eyes of others? You are truly amazing, Sister. I envy you.”

“Hehehe. What are you doing with that… … .”

Seolhwa turned her head away, seeming embarrassed.

Joo Yang-gae, who was listening to their conversation from the side, opened his mouth.

As the head of this place that handles information, he was proud of his keen sense of humor.

But their conversation was unpredictable.

Joo Yang-gae was convinced that their conversation was secret.
