426. Confucius Gathering Ears of Wheat (5)

Hanbin stopped walking and quickly looked back.

There was Youngho, still looking sad.

Youngho looked at Hanbin who was looking at him and asked.

“Why are you like that?”

“Your Majesty, you will need to stay here for a while.”

“Well, that’s true.”

As Youngho answered nonchalantly, Hanbin disappeared into the garden with Heukmirang.

Youngho glanced inside.

There was no way that Youngho, who had been eating knife-cut rice in the rivers and lakes for a long time, would not know about the dark side.

Moreover, Gangnam is his main stage of activity.

But why Hanbin wanted to buy grain from Gangnam’s dark market was not of interest to him.

All he cared about was finding a way out of his sleepwalking.

It was when Yeong-ho was leaning against the wall of the garden where the dark room was standing today.

Someone called Youngho.

“Aren’t you Senior Youngho?”

At that moment, Youngho narrowed his eyes. It was because the voice sounded familiar.

Youngho’s expression hardened slightly. Youngho was at odds with the owner of that voice.

He glanced away.

As expected, Ilho was there with his eyes shining.

“Why did you come here?”

“Come here for a moment, Senior Youngho.”

Ilho made a secret gesture. Youngho, who saw that, quietly walked towards the direction he was leading.

Youngho followed Ilho and held the scabbard tightly.

It was a competitor who came when everything was questionable.

His intentions could not have been good.

if…….

Youngho began to suspect that his strange symptoms might be a plot hatched by Ilho.

Of course, this was a reasonable doubt.

Because Ilho and himself were the problem solvers responsible for the inside and outside of the Wi family.

The first one stopped in the bushes about two hundred paces away from the garden.

When he stopped, Youngho quickly drew his sword.

Sling.

Coming this far, Youngho was convinced that it was Ilho who made him like this.

In the sudden situation, Ilho stepped back and grabbed his sword.

Jump.

He shouted, holding his scabbard out in front of him.

“What are you doing now, Senior Youngho?”

“Did you make me like this? Where are the rest of them?”

Youngho scanned his surroundings with eagle eyes.

At that moment, the rest of Gangnam Saho came out from behind Ilho.

Among them, Samho, who couldn’t stand it any longer, came forward.

“Where did this kid pull out his sword? I told him to look after him because he was my senior… … .”

Samho stopped talking.

Because Ilho raised his hand to stop him.

He quickly put his hand into his bosom.

Youngho shouted at that sight.

“Where are you trying to start your story?”

However, Youngho, who asked the question, had to tilt his head.

What came out of Ilho’s hand was a bottle of gourd that I had seen many times.

The white bottles were the same size.

“Do you know this bottle?”

“that…….”

Youngho’s voice trailed off slightly.

Because it was a cure for sleepwalking, also known as sleepwalking.

But he couldn’t tell his own weaknesses.

Ilho sighed at the sight and said.

“We saw you eat this yourself. Why did you do that?”

“… … .”

“We may have forced you to take it, but why did you take this medicine yourself? Was it a real betrayal?”

“Betrayal? What do you mean?”

“A while ago, a messenger came flying into the Wisisega. It was a messenger delivering an urgent message.”

“Yeah, I sent that.”

“Then it’s true.”

“True? What do you mean?”

“The letter contained words of gratitude and a declaration of his departure from the family.”

“Then it wasn’t me who sent the messenger… … . Who on earth sent it?”

“It was definitely your handwriting.”

“What is that… … .”

Youngho stopped talking and looked in the direction where Jangwon was.

Why did the scholar’s face suddenly come to mind?

Then Ilho continued speaking with a serious expression.

“So the lord has ordered us to deal with you.”

“What, what do you mean? Oh, it’s a misunderstanding. How could I betray my family?”

“Aren’t you originally from the Wei family?”

“My lord promised to put me in the sun when this was over. So why would I betray him?”

“Well, let’s say that’s true. I also have a strange feeling about your betrayal. Anyway, I feel bad about taking your life with my own hands.”

“… … .”

“I guess it’s because we’ve been eating from the same pot for a while now, so I guess I developed a lot of resentment towards him. That’s why I sent assassins who were good at swords. But they came back as rice cakes. They were barely breathing.”

At his words, Youngho examined his scabbard.

It seemed to be referring to the time when the disease called dream sword strikes.

“I’m sorry. It wasn’t my intention.”

“You have nothing to apologize for. If you just send away an assassin who came to take your life, you wouldn’t be a senior.”

“hmm.”

“So we took action ourselves. But as it turned out, the student was no ordinary expert.”

“Did you say you were a scholar?”

Youngho narrowed his eyes. He didn’t understand why he brought up the story of the scholar.

“Let me just get straight to the point. I don’t know if you know this, but the scholar is definitely a member of the Demonic Cult.”

“Huh, what does that mean?”

“Your voice is too loud.”

“Tell me more.”

“We too, unable to resist the pressure of the scholar, ate the Siminmyeolhondan.”

“A group of people who destroy the mind and soul… … .”

“I’m talking about the poison that is imprinted on the mind and has no complete cure. And they say that the poison is so painful that it makes your soul disappear. I don’t know about anything else, but the pain is certain.”

“What does that mean?”

“Because I have experienced pain!”

“Now, wait a minute. That student is a member of the Demonic Cult, and that is the Mind-Destructing Corps?”

Youngho pointed to the white bottle that Ilho was holding.

Ilho shook his head.

“The first one you took was Siminmyeolhondan, and this is the antidote. Well, you know it’s not the antidote that removes poison, right? So… … .”

Ilho began to reveal what he knew about the current situation.

When Ilho first brought up the story, he observed Youngho’s expression without missing a single one.

As a result, it was clear that Youngho knew nothing.

Ilho burst out laughing at his appearance.

Youngho was proud of being the most cunning.

But in Ilho’s eyes, the most foolish one was also Youngho.

If you weren’t stupid, you wouldn’t believe the owner’s promise to let you stand in the sun.

It was absurd to put forward a warrior from the Salsu clan as the representative of the Wi clan.

If it was known that the warrior of the Wei clan was from Salsu, the repercussions would be even more terrifying than expected.

Ilho collected his expression and continued his explanation.

After hearing the explanation, Youngho’s expression hardened.

The story was simple.

The scholar was a master of the Demonic Sect.

The key was that he was not sleepwalking.

The reason he mistook it for sleepwalking was because the student had doused himself with blood and made him pass out.

You were forced to have a blood transfusion without feeling anything?

He said that many things happened there after he fell asleep.

It was also said that numerous herons flew to the student yesterday and today.

How is this possible?

What was even more surprising was that the Haomen woman who was with the scholar was no ordinary expert.

After hearing the whole story, Youngho asked urgently.

“Is what you just said true?”

“That’s true. I guess you didn’t know.”

“What a piece of shit!”

Youngho shouted and snorted without realizing it.

At that sight, Ilho blocked it with his palm.

“Please calm down and listen to me.”

“What are you talking about! You should go back and tell the master… … .”

“You have to take the medicine once a month to relieve the pain. That’s the only way to stop the pain.”

“… … .”

“You know the price of cancellation, right? Will Phase Ho be able to save us from cancellation?”

“hmm.”

“Pretend not to know and stay by the scholar’s ​​side. Then, when the situation arises, stick to him.”

“What did you just say?”

“That’s the only way to survive.”

“The only way to survive?”

“If there is no reconciliation with him, we will have to end our lives in pain. What does it matter to us whether we are attached to the righteous sect, the evil sect, or the devil? In any case, it is best to keep both feet on the ground.”

“hmm.”

Youngho’s expression suddenly crumpled.

But he didn’t scream anymore.

I just raised my head and looked at the night sky.

* * *

As Hanbin crossed the garden, Heukmirang, who was next to him, tilted her head.

Whenever he asks me to guide him, he walks around the garden comfortably as if it were his own home.

What’s even stranger is that there are still two hours left until the dark room opens.

But I didn’t understand why he came so early.

Those who participate in a black market auction usually only show up for a short time to hide their identity.

It was when questions began to pile up in Heukmirang’s head.

Hanbin turned his head and looked at her.

Heukmirang asked Hanbin, who was suddenly staring blankly at her.

“Why do you look at me like that, Confucius?”

“Young Lady Black, you will also have to wait here for a moment.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Madam Heuk, please stay here and enjoy the moon for a moment. I will be right back after I finish my work.”

“But where are you going? This is your first time in the dark.”

“This is my first time here, but I know the owner of this place.”

“What does that mean… … . Oh, this is also a secret?”

“That is correct.”

When Hanbin smiled brightly, Heukmirang pouts without realizing it.

Then he quickly covered his mouth.

Hanbin smiled at the sight and disappeared, leaving behind only the sound of fallen leaves.

Sasa Sak.

Heukmirang, who had been blankly staring at the spot where Hanbin had disappeared, bit her lips as if she had made up her mind about something.

Hanbin waited for her here, but Haomen’s blood flows through her body.

Although he was looked down upon in the martial arts world, the best information broker in the Central Plains was Haomen.

But Heukmirang couldn’t say that with confidence.

After meeting Hanbin, I realized that there were so many things I didn’t know.

Although I had guided you to the location where the dark room was open today, you knew the location better than I did when you came here.

Are you going to meet someone here?

It would be absurd for him, as the head of the Hubei branch of Haomen, to not know.

A strange sense of pride made her heart beat.

She took a look at the place where Hanbin had disappeared and then disappeared from her seat.

Her secret lightness technique left not even a shadow.

* * *

The place Hanbin arrived was deep inside the manor.

There was a Buddha statue there.

Hanbin knew the statue.

This Buddha statue was very similar to the one I saw in Jangunhyeon.

Hanbin confirmed this Buddha statue when he came to this estate.

He had come to the annex to meet the owner of this Buddha statue.

A plan that wasn’t originally there.

But if I had met the owner of the Buddha statue, today’s problems could have been solved a little more easily.

Hanbin checked his surroundings.

The annex was surrounded by a pond.

Next to the annex there was a pavilion.

There was no sign of life in the pavilion or annex.

Hanbin walked quietly to where the Buddha statue was.

The Buddha statue was exactly the same as the one I had seen in Jangunhyeon.

However, its size was only half that of the Buddha statue in Jangunhyeon.

Hanbin searched through his arms. Then he took out a piece of iron.
