Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 393



Only Noblemtl

393. What are you doing, Confucius? (1)

Dang Gwang-hyeon quietly nodded after seeing Dang Se-ryeong’s surprised expression.

“Get ready and leave together.”

“Father, but still… … .”

“I don’t think I need to check. Didn’t you already leave it to Prince Peng?”

“But I don’t think this is right. Tell me what I’m saying… .”

“Stop talking and follow Peng Gongzi. Who can save the workers in this situation? I tried sending a message to Gunshot and Ami, but I don’t have much hope.”

“… … .”

Dang Se-ryeong opened her mouth when she saw Dang Gwang-hyeon.

Not only did I not understand what Hanbin had asked for, I also did not understand Dang Gwanghyeon’s attitude.

Just follow what is requested without even asking.

This was an instruction that ran counter to what I had seen, heard, and learned at Sacheondangga.

Sacheondangga teaches his direct descendants about the dark side of martial arts until his mouth is worn out.

That was because the Sacheondang family was more sinister than anyone else.

But what if there is a group that tries to hit the back of the head of Sacheondangga?

Because it is clear that the group possesses unimaginable power and insidiousness.

Thanks to this, the Sacheondang family has taught its direct descendants to be suspicious of the world.

But you don’t even check the contents of the note?

Of course, Dang Se-ryeong did not suspect Han Bin either.

The one who brought Hanbin was none other than Dang Se-ryeong, disguised as a man.

At that time, he used the name Danggi Myeong, but changing his clothes did not change his eyes.

The eyes that Dang Se-ryeong used to look at Han Bin were the same.

Still, it would have been normal to check what Hanbin was asking for.

At that moment, Dang Gwang-hyeon’s voice struck Dang Se-ryeong’s ears.

“Get ready quickly.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Dang Se-ryeong bowed her head and quickly disappeared from the scene.

It was when she gradually disappeared.

Hanbin tilted his head.

At that sight, Dang Gwang-hyeon asked urgently.

“Prince Peng, why are you doing this? If there is anything else you need, just tell me.”

“It seems like there’s a commotion outside the walls of Sacheondangga.”

“It must be because of those who bet money on the martial arts competition. They would have come here at other times, but they seem to have been prevented from entering the walls because of rumors of the poison spreading.”

“okay.”

“Some people might have won money, but some people might have lost money, so it’s natural that there’s an uproar.”

“I wonder who got it.”

Hanbin looked outside the fence with a meaningful smile.

* * *

There was a brief commotion beyond the wall of Sacheondangga.

That’s because there was someone who predicted the outcome.

Why is that a problem?

If no one guessed the outcome of the game, those who placed bets would receive their original amount back minus a commission.

However, there is someone who predicted the outcome of the win or loss.

Someone questioned Haomen’s money manager.

“Hello, how could anyone have predicted a draw? Could it be that this was a trick by the organizers?”

“Haha, no. Has our Sacheon Haomun ever cheated on a bet?”

Haomen’s manager tilted his head and glared at the other person.

The opponent didn’t just back down.

“Then show me the evidence.”

“It is Haomen’s duty to protect the information of customers who have placed bets.”

“What is that… … .”

“Also, it is not the way of the martial arts to disclose individual information so carelessly.”

“Could it be that Haomun rigged the match?”

“How on earth do you see our Haomen… … .”

The money manager took a step toward him, glaring.

Although Haomen was said to be a group looked down upon in the martial arts world, that was a story from another region.

In Sacheon, Haomun was a proper sect that encompassed politics.

The current suspicion shook Haomen to his very foundation.

So I couldn’t help but get upset.

The stake manager is a first-class Haomen expert.

As the first-class expert took a step forward, the one who raised the objection flinched and took a step back.

Not only that, others also step back.

Then a voice cut through their midst.

“Stop it.”

The voice that penetrated the cold atmosphere was unimaginably soft.

The softness seemed to take over the surrounding space and melt the atmosphere in an instant.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the owner of the voice.

There, Baek Mi-rang, the owner of Sacheon Haomun, was walking lightly.

Everyone looked at Baek Mi-rang walking slowly.

She stood between the bettors and the money managers and glanced around.

At that sight, people forgot what had happened a moment ago and exclaimed in admiration.

“I’ve never seen Baek Mi-rang this close up!”

“Heh heh.”

“But what’s the stakes now?”

“Is the stakes the issue now?”

“Shh, be quiet.”

The stakes weren’t important to them.

It wasn’t that difficult to see Baek Mi-rang, but seeing her up close like this was like trying to pick stars from the sky.

As they were swallowing their saliva, Baek Mi-rang’s red lips opened.

“To all of you who love Haomen… … . We never thought that someone would come along who would match this match. But!”

Baek Mi-rang cut off the conversation.

Everyone’s mouths opened slightly at that sight.

This is because Baek Mi-rang’s gentle atmosphere has become slightly cold.

Everyone looked back at themselves to see if they had done something wrong.

Then Baek Mi-rang continued speaking.

“Are you forgetting that there is one rule to the betting board?”

“… … .”

They waited for Baek Mi-rang’s next words.

As they blinked their eyes a few times, Baek Mi-rang smiled again.

“If no one has guessed the winner by midnight tonight, there will be no winner. That’s the rule of this betting table. If no winner has come forward, the principal will go to your hands.”

What she said was true.

Those were the rules of the betting table set by Haomen.

The winner of the bet had to collect his stake on the same day.

What if I can’t find the prize money?

As soon as Baek Mi-rang finished speaking, exclamations came out from here and there.

“As expected, it’s Baek Mi-rang.”

“You are more fair than most judges.”

“Then should we just wait here?”

“I guess I’ll have to wait here until midnight.”

Baek Mi-rang raised her hand amidst everyone’s cheering.

As she raises her hand, the sleeve of her dress slightly falls down.

Her arms were so white they looked like fluffy clouds in the sky.

People stopped chattering and looked at Baek Mi-rang’s hand.

When the situation calmed down, Baek Mi-rang continued speaking.

“The winner of the bet will be asked to come to Manwolru by midnight today. I will post a room here.”

Baek Mi-rang pointed to the wall of Sacheondangga.

Everyone’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

Baek Mi-rang smiled faintly at that sight and opened her mouth again.

“You guys just have to check if the winner of the bet comes to Manwolru. Well, if he doesn’t come, Haomen will make sure to return the bet money fairly.”

After she finished speaking, she unfolded her fan, turned around, and got into the carriage she had prepared.

As she got into the carriage, the wheels began to roll with a creaking noise.

For a moment, everyone stared blankly at the carriage.

One of them said.

“Let’s go too.”

“I guess so.”

“It’s until midnight, so I need to get a spot with a good view of Manwolru in advance.”

“That would be good.”

People left the walls of Sacheondangga in a hurry, without you knowing.

As soon as they left, Baek Mi-rang’s subordinates began to place rooms on various parts of the wall as instructed.

* * *

After a while.

Dang Se-ryeong brought the item that Han Bin had requested.

Dang Gwang-hyeon glanced at the luggage in Dang Se-ryeong’s hand.

In fact, Dang Gwang-hyeon was also curious about what Han Bin had asked for.

But now, I had left everything up to the other person.

It also placed a heavy burden on the young Habukpeng family’s four sons.

Now, it was necessary to instill the two words ‘trust’ in the other person.

If it was something that was going to be given away anyway, it was easier to gain the other person’s trust by not bothering to check it.

At that time, Dang Se-ryeong asked.

“Can you please not check it, Father?”

Dang Se-ryeong pointed to the bundle.

The bundle wasn’t that big.

It was about the size of an adult’s head. At that size, there was nothing but a booklet.

A booklet?

Tang Gwang-hyeon moved his lips for a moment, but did not ask as he had initially decided.

Anyway, once they left, all you had to do was ask the servant who was managing the pavilion that Dang Se-ryeong had visited.

“In our family, once we entrust someone with a task, we never suspect them, right?”

“Yes, that’s right, Father.”

Dang Se-ryeong stuttered slightly.

Because it is a lie to say that you do not suspect the other person.

After a moment of bewilderment, Dang Se-ryeong quickly smiled and looked at Han Bin.

Hanbin smiled brightly at that sight and gave a prize to Dang Gwanghyeon.

“Then I will leave right away.”

“Please take care of me.”

Dang Gwang-hyeon bowed his head slightly.

Hanbin responded with a smile and left with Dang Se-ryeong.

As Hanbin became distant enough to become a dot, Dang Moo-cheon, who had been silent until then, looked at Dang Gwang-hyeon.

“hmm.”

Dang Gwang-hyeon turned around at the sound of Dang Mu-cheon’s cough.

“Why are you like that, Father?”

“What on earth did Prince Peng take?”

“I don’t know either. I’m going to find out from now on.”

That was when.

From a distance, someone was running, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Dang Gwang-hyeon narrowed his eyes at that sight.

“What’s going on that makes you make such a fuss?”

“I have something urgent to report to you, Your Majesty.”

“Look… … .”

Dang Gwang-hyeon looked at his subordinates, his voice trailing off slightly.

Dang Gwang-hyeon narrowed his eyes as he recognized his subordinate’s face.

“Aren’t you the person in charge of Seoryun-gak?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then, was it by any chance that what Seolyeong took was something from Seoryun-gak?”

“Yes, that’s right. I came running here because I felt I had to report to you.”

“if…….”

Dang Gwang-hyeon looked at the place where Seo Ryun-gak was, his voice trailing off.

Seoryun Pavilion was where all of the Sacheon Dangga’s secrets and important documents were stored.

It was one of the buildings that was unharmed by this shocking explosion, as it was built so sturdily.

What if the person in charge there is this flustered?

What Dang Se-ryeong took must have been the secret weapon of the Sacheon Dang family.

Why on earth?

Dang Gwang-hyeon, who had a question in his mind, asked urgently.

“What kind of emergency supplies did you take?”

“I’m sorry, but it’s not an emergency.”

“If it wasn’t an emergency, then what did you bring?”

Dang Gwang-hyeon narrowed his eyes.

At that sight, the person in charge of Seoryun-gak closed his eyes tightly and continued speaking.

“I took the debt register and the loan certificate.”

“A promissory note?”

“It is literal.”

“… … Okay, I understand. You go ahead and do it.”

At Dang Gwang-hyeon’s words, the person in charge of Seo-ryun-gak quickly left.

When the person in charge of Seoryun Pavilion disappeared, Dang Gwanghyeon looked at Dang Mucheon with a worried expression.

“Father, I am worried about what Prince Peng is planning to do.”

“Haha, I’m worried too. A promissory note!”

“Could it be that they are trying to recruit workers by threatening people with loan certificates?”

“hmm.”

“Based on what I’ve seen from the side, Prince Peng’s personality is such that he uses his means and methods… … .”

Dang Gwang-hyeon stopped talking.

This is because Dangmucheon stopped talking by showing his palm.

Dang Gwang-hyeon opened his mouth wide at that sight.

This was absolute trust.

What he showed was a formal trust, but now Dangmucheon was sincere.

Dangmucheon just smiled faintly as he looked at the place where Hanbin had disappeared.

* * *

Hanbin, who had left the place, looked around as if waiting for someone before exiting through the main gate of Sacheondangga.

At that sight, Dang Se-ryeong asked.

“Master, what are you doing now?”
