Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 43



Only Noblemtl

Episode 43. Shadow Warrior (2)

Kim Mu-byeong squinted his eyes and saw that it was Han Bin’s limbs and iron fists.

“What’s going on?”

“The Master told me to make a reservation.”

“What reservation?”

“He asked me to prepare for two patients who would be arriving.”

“Is the youngest Confucius some kind of fortune teller? How could he predict that two patients would arise?”

When Kim Mu-byeong shook his head, Cheol-no spoke with a serious expression.

“The Master said so. Be prepared because the wound may be quite deep.”

“Huh, this is true. Instead of learning swordsmanship, you’re learning fortune telling?”

It was when Kim Mu-byeong was clicking his tongue.

Two men were walking toward me from a distance.

The tattered top was stained thickly with blood, which made it seem like the condition was not good.

“You are a real fortune teller.”

Kim Mu-byeong looked at the two men walking from afar with bewildered eyes, and then became terrified.

“Isn’t that the youngest prince? Next to him is Lady Jeonghwa’s bodyguard!”

Only then did Kim Mu-byeong realize.

That is to say, it was not a fortune-telling but a planned ritual.

“Really!”

While Kim Mu-byeong was sighing, Cheol-no ran like lightning.

“Confucius!”

However, Cheolno had to stop before reaching Hanbin.

Because Madam Jeong-hwa appeared in front of Han-bin.

Cheolno instinctively felt that he should not get involved in that situation.

Madam Jeong-hwa, who was blocking Han-bin’s path, spoke.

“A deal is a deal, why don’t you keep your promise?”

“I don’t know what you mean by promise.”

Hanbin tilted his head. No matter how much he thought about it, Madam Jeonghwa was amazing.

A moment ago, she was the woman who was trying to stab Hanbin in the neck with a knife. But now, as if nothing had happened, she was trying to save her son.

Mrs. Jeong-hwa bit her lips slightly in anger.

Blood streaming from between the lips for a moment.

It wasn’t blood that was flowing, but resentment, but she continued speaking nonchalantly.

“Didn’t you say that if I allowed this escort and the secret service, you would take out the third one?”

“That was when he didn’t try to hurt me. The moment he put the knife to me, the conditions changed.”

As Hanbin narrowed his eyes and answered, Madam Jeonghwa asked again without changing her expression.

“So, what do you want?”

“Please let me use Imoo-myeong’s escort for six months.”

“hmm.”

Mrs. Jeonghwa squinted her eyes and counted the beads in her head.

In fact, the conclusion was already decided.

What Mrs. Jeonghwa was calculating was how much she should show that she was worried.

Why is that?

The reason was simple. Madam Jeonghwa was on her way back from drawing another orchid in her album. In other words, she had decided to get rid of Imoo-myeong.

She wanted to take Hanam Jeongga into her own hands in the future. But what if Lee Mu-myeong, who had been at odds with her, returned to Hanam Jeongga?

That wasn’t a good thing.

What if I send it to Hanbin now and get rid of Imoo-myeong?

It was an opportunity to hold Hanbin responsible for his death.

Mrs. Jeong-hwa, who had been waiting for an appropriate amount of time, nodded.

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

“Yes, thank you. Then I will speak to the Lord of the House of Representatives.”

“Okay, keep your promise.”

With those words, Madam Jeonghwa left her seat.

In the front yard of the hospital where a storm had swept through, everyone was looking at Hanbin with blank expressions.

At that time, Imoo-myeong looked at Han-bin with worried eyes.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

Even though the title changed, Hanbin pretended not to know.

“What are you talking about?”

“I am planning to leave for Hanam Jeongga within a week.”

“I know.”

“But why did you set such a condition?”

“If you are going to leave anyway, wouldn’t it be better to head to Hanamjeongga with peace of mind? Madam Jeonghwa has given me the authority, and I have allowed the escort of Imoo-myeong to leave at any time.”

Hanbin’s title also changed. Naturally, their relationship was reestablished.

But what was important was not the relationship, but the feelings.

Imoo-myeong looked at Han-bin for a long time.

“I’m sorry, I can only say thank you.”

Imoo-myeong bowed deeply.

Hanbin said.

“Let’s get treatment first.”

Hanbin slowly walked towards Jang Ja-myeong and asked with a kind face.

“Congressman Jang, how have you been?”

“Yes, yes, my lord.”

When Jang Ja-myeong answered with a trembling voice, Han-bin patted his back.

“Rep. Jang, just be at ease. If someone saw me, they’d think I was a bad person.”

“Who would misunderstand something like that? It would never happen.”

Jang Ja-myeong quickly waved his hand.

Kim Mu-byeong, who saw Jang Ja-myeong like that, seemed to know who the mastermind behind the vicious actions he had mentioned earlier was.

But he couldn’t be sure because in his eyes, he still saw Hanbin as the biggest coward in Habukpangga.

* * *

At the same time, Musi Geomga.

Musoyul, who returned from Habukpangga, had not been able to stretch out his feet comfortably even for a single day.

Is it because you’re upset about losing to Hanbin?

That was absolutely not the case.

After her fight with Hanbin, her mind completely changed.

He said that Hanbin was not a burden to him, but someone who could give him strength.

On her way home, she regretted breaking up with Hanbin. However, as soon as she got home, her mind changed.

It’s because of Musowi who is blankly staring at the pond right in front of him.

After the Seokhwa Bridge incident, his younger brother Musowi, who had been threatening to kill Hanbin, started to look only at the carp swimming in the pond as if he had lost his mind.

No, that’s a bit of a misnomer. It wasn’t as if he was crazy, it was clear he was crazy.

Even though we brought in all the good members of the National Assembly, Musowi’s condition did not improve.

Musoyul approached Musowi.

“Sowi, are you okay?”

“… … .”

Musowi, crouching by the pond, did not answer.

“hmm.”

Musoyul bit his lips.

Now there was no more blood coming out of my lips.

“I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill you. … … .”

Musoyul just kept repeating the same thing.

To her, Hanbin became love and hate itself.

Musoyul, who had made up his mind, ran to the Mu family’s house.

Rattling.

Musoyul, who opened the door roughly, paused for a moment.

Because the atmosphere of the house was strange.

The elders of the swordsmanship were gathered in one place.

However, it was not a case of being discouraged.

He ran towards Gaju Musuhui in one stride, grumbling loudly.

Musoyul, who stood in front of Gaju Musuhui, won the lottery.

“I came here to see my father. I have a favor to ask of you.”

Musoyul waited for Gaju’s words with an expression that said he would gladly accept the reprimand for suddenly barging in.

Gaju Musuhui opened his mouth with a blank expression.

“Why are you so late?”

Musoyul was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected words.

“What do you mean, late?”

“Are you going to lose your mind while your little brother is like that?”

“What I was going to say just now… … .”

“I’ll give you the Baekgeomdae, so catch the guy who did that to So-wi.”

“yes?”

Musoyul was surprised and asked back. The reason he came here was to ask for what Gaju had just said.

“Why are you surprised? If things continue like this, how much will the Gangbuk clans look down on us? I will leave the vengeance of my younger brother to you. Whether you bring him back alive or behead him, it is your decision.”

“Your name!”

Musoyul was deeply involved.

She had been waiting for this moment for days.

Although she didn’t go into detail, she had already made a plan on how to capture Hanbin in Habukpangga.

The friction with Habukpangga that will arise if Hanbin is captured is something that Gaju Musuhui can resolve.

Musoyul decided not to think about what would happen next.

In less than an hour, Musoyul was ready to go on a campaign.

Now, in front of her, a hundred warriors dressed in white uniforms were lined up at angles so sharp that they cut through the moonlight.

Musoyul ordered Baekgeomdae.

“Let’s go.”

“Your name!”

A hundred warriors set out to inspect the Musashi sword.

However, Musowi continued to look at the pond without knowing what was happening in order to seek his revenge.

At that moment, countless movements appeared and disappeared in Musowi’s mind.

After the fight with Hanbin, Musowi had no other desire than to kill Hanbin. Then one day, Musowi realized something.

What I’m saying is that in the current situation, we can’t beat Hanbin.

Then I thought of the rain on the stone bridge over and over again.

Hanbin blocked his movements by placing stones under his feet like a fortune teller.

Is this possible?

From then on, Musowi began to observe the carp in the pond. First, he observed how the carp moved their fins. However, the movements were too irregular.

He also tried to predict the direction of the carp. Sometimes he was right, but it was impossible to predict accurately.

So how did Hanbin predict his own movements?

That was the point.

Musowi’s mind was filled with his own secret methods to escape the net called Hanbin.

Looking at the carp.

I looked at my reflection in the water and drew and erased countless drawings of the Dharma.

Now, there was no resentment towards Hanbin in Musowi’s heart.

On the contrary, Hanbin was like a teacher to Musowi.

He gave me a topic of enlightenment that seemed within reach but was not.

After Musoyul left the inspection station, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

It also rained on the pond where Musowi was crouching.

Bam.

Bam.

The falling raindrops blurred my vision.

Then suddenly the raindrops started to fall slowly.

Musowi knew that it was enlightenment.

He sat cross-legged without realizing it.

Empty.

Is it an illusion that the raindrops seem to be avoiding the body of the cross-legged monk?

At that moment, as he was walking in the garden in the rain, feeling frustrated after seeing off Musoyul, a strange sight came into view.

Gaju Musuhui opened his eyes wide and shouted.

“Quickly, stand by my side and protect me!”

“Your name.”

As the warriors ran towards Musowi, holding a prize, Gaju Musuhui added as if he had remembered something.

“Don’t make any changes to the so-called side. Leave it there to get wet and keep a watchful eye three steps away.”

At those words, the warriors silently gave their blessings.

* * *

That night, Hanbin and Imoo-myeong walked through the busy streets of Habuk.

It was to see off Imoo-myeong.

Is Hanbin going to let Lee Moo-myung go as is?

Half right and half wrong.

If his memories from his previous life are true, Imoo-myeong will definitely be abandoned by Hanam Jeongga.

In that case, this was the only place for Imoo-myeong to return to.

This debt of the heart that he has now erased will make him like a salmon swimming upstream.

“You may go in.”

“It’s okay. It’s just a shame that I finally have a friend whose heart I can open with a sword.”

Hanbin’s speech has gradually become more relaxed.

Imoo-myeong also decided to treat him like his master, at least in his heart.

“Your Majesty, thank you very much for your hospitality today. You even provided me with new clothes… … .”

“Hey, don’t mention it.”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

At that moment, a couple passing by looked at Hanbin and Lee Moo-myeong and tilted their heads.

“Oh my, you must be twins. How can you look so alike?”

The woman of the couple said.
