Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 438



Only Noblemtl

438. The business of leaving people behind (3)

The cartman who had set fire to the cart was striking the flint again to light the next cart.

Knock, knock.

But at first glance, I had the illusion that he was smiling.

Phase Ho shook his head.

Perhaps it was an illusion.

As expected.

The young man’s eyes became moist.

Only then did Wi Sang-ho put aside his doubts.

Who would laugh like that while burning something that is as precious as their life?

That was when.

The crowd of onlookers began to murmur.

“What is that now?”

“That’s right.”

“Oh, I can hear the sound of rice burning from here.”

“Oh my, what a waste! They should give that rice to us instead.”

“Didn’t the merchant who came from Haedongseongguk burn all the ginseng there before?”

“Yes, the merchant is definitely right. By the way, the sound of rice popping is nice to hear.”

As they said, the rice in the burning cart was making a thumping sound.

Despite the commotion around him, the young man silently struck the flint to light the second cart.

Fortunately, the flint remained silent.

At that moment, Haengsu turned his head and looked at Wijiyak.

“Do you feel better now? Is this how the Wisise family works?”

“… … .”

Wijiyak couldn’t say anything.

He just had his mouth open.

I never expected my opponent to act like this.

The phase sign at the back grabbed the Wizhiyak, who was opening his mouth in surprise.

“You stand back.”

“Father, I… … .”

Wijiyak’s words trailed off.

It was because the momentum of the phase change was unusual.

That was when.

Ting.

A spark rose from the young man’s flint.

In an instant, a second cart began to pull up.

Hururuk.

As flames rose from the cart, Sang-Hwa-Ho quickly ran.

Then he stopped in front of the cart.

Sang-Ho Wi just watched the burning cart without moving an inch.

That was when.

Swish.

The fire that seemed like it would engulf the cart in flames disappeared in an instant.

In an instant, murmurs began to spread here and there.

“That’s amazing.”

“You put out the fire with amazing speed… …?”

“Who the hell is that guy?”

There was one thing people didn’t understand.

Putting out a fire by blocking the air and simply blocking sound are two entirely different things.

Wi Sang-ho had shown everyone his realm without even knowing it.

People’s conversation continued.

“Aren’t you the head of the Wei family?”

“Heh heh.”

Despite the commotion, Wi Sang-ho looked at the young man without saying a word.

Then he took the pouch out of his bosom and threw it.

Whoosh.

The bonfire fell onto the cart, which had just been put out.

Bam.

Sang-Ho Wi, who saw the young man, spoke in a low voice.

“There is a night liquor worth two hundred nyang of gold. The rest is for the Wei family to take!”

At his shout, everyone’s eyes were focused on the young man.

The young man checked his pockets and then bowed his head.

“Thank you, sir. I’ll be going now.”

After finishing speaking, the young man raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction of the market.

At the same time, those who had been leading the cart disappeared, following the young monk.

As everything happened in an instant, the passersby who were watching looked at the remaining Sang-Hwa-Ho and Wi-Sise with dumbfounded expressions.

Sang-Ho Wi looked toward the guest room without paying attention to the gazes of those around him.

Just by looking at his gaze, the members of the Iron Blood Sword Squad on the third floor of the guest house came running like lightning.

The warriors of the Iron Blood Swordsmen standing in front of the phase flag.

They waited for Wi Sang-ho’s order in a standing posture in front of the cart as if they had made a promise.

Wi Sang-ho said, brushing his beard with a satisfied expression on his face.

“Place your family flag on the cart.”

They placed the flag they had brought on the wagon.

Swish, swish.

The flag of the Wisise family suddenly stuck on the cart.

The sight was, in a word, spectacular.

At that momentum, pedestrians just opened their mouths.

At that moment, Wi Sang-ho shouted.

“Everyone, let’s go!”

At that sound, the cart began to head towards Hebei Province.

In the middle of the street, there was only one ugly, half-burned cart left behind.

At the front of the long line of wagons heading towards Hebei Province was Sang Hwa-ho.

The doctor next to him asked with a sad face.

“Why did you give me that? It’s a ridiculous thing.”

“No. That much is fine. And some of those nightshades… … .”

Wi Ji-yak quickly asked at the sight of Wi Sang-ho’s voice trailing off slightly.

“Why the night liquor?”

“It’s a worthless item. You probably only saw the night pearl above.”

“Just the night liquor above?”

“You probably didn’t have the courage to look inside properly because of my momentum. Who would have thought that the head of the Wei family would deceive a mere merchant?”

“What if I come back later to ask you about it?”

“At that time… … the top of Hubei will be erased.”

Wi Sang-ho slightly raised the corners of his lips.

At that sight, Wi Ji-yak looked at his father, Wi Sang-ho, with eyes of respect.

But it burned into Wi Sang-ho’s heart.

Although it was a leather pouch containing a mixture of fake and real pearls, it was none other than his entire fortune.

If I failed here, I would not only not be able to get my hands on Habuk, but I would also run out of money to return home.

* * *

Hanbin and his group quickly escaped from there and stopped in front of a large Buddha statue in the market street.

This was the very place where the Buddha statue that had caused a stir during the confrontation with Cheon-dok was located.

Although it was slightly cracked, the Buddha statue guarding Jangunhyeon still had a kind smile on its face as it looked toward Habuk.

Hanbin, who had stopped for a moment, took out the pouch that Wi Sangho had handed him.

Then he examined the small night lights one by one.

Hanbin put only a few of the night liquors back into his pocket and threw the rest away.

Whoosh,

The night pearl that Hanbin had thrown away landed squarely on the Buddha’s palm.

Seolhwa asked at that sight.

“Master, why are you throwing that away?”

“Hey, you should throw away things that are of no value.”

“You say it’s not worth it?”

“All of them are fake except the three I picked out.”

“Huh? So the head of the Weisi family committed fraud?”

“Well, I can’t help it. If I go on like that, it’ll just make the story longer.”

“still…….”

Seolhwa trailed off.

What she didn’t understand the most was that Hanbin had done business at a loss.

I knew he was disguising himself as a merchant to lure his opponent into a trap.

In Sulwha’s view, Hanbin’s actions were also intended to drain the other party’s funds.

But how can you be smiling so nonchalantly after receiving fake night liquor?

Could it be that he has reached the state of liberation and become a true living Buddha?

Seolhwa looked back and forth between the Buddha statue and Hanbin.

For a moment, Seolhwa shook her head.

No matter how much I thought about it, Hanbin’s smile was far from the benevolent smile of the Buddha.

Seeing Seol-hwa’s expression, Sim Mi-ho waved her hand and stepped forward.

“Seolhwa, what are you worried about now?”

“Sister Bu-dae-ju… … .”

“I know what you’re worried about, but you don’t have to worry about it.”

“What does that mean?”

“Think carefully. Are you the kind of person who would make a deal that would result in your master’s loss?”

“That’s why I’m worried.”

“Do you think that everything loaded on the cart is grain?”

“sure?”

Seolhwa tilted her head.

Because I watched them purchase grain while accompanying them.

But it’s not grain?

Sim Mi-ho continued speaking, smiling at the sight.

“More than half of it is sand and loess.”

“yes?”

Seolhwa glanced at Hanbin.

Hanbin just turned his gaze and looked at the distant sky.

Seolhwa narrowed her eyes and thought back on her journey to get here.

Come to think of it, Cheonghwa and I were away from each other quite a bit.

It was clear that the instructions had been given in the meantime.

While Seol-hwa was washing her face with a pitiful expression, Han-bin looked somewhere.

There was a tree in the place Hanbin was looking at.

Hanbin, who was watching Daru, said to Sim Miho.

“Captain Shim. Let’s rest there for a moment and then go.”

“You said you were busy earlier.”

“No matter how busy you are, you should have time to have a cup of tea. Right?”

“Are you serious, my lord?”

Sim Mi-ho opened her eyes wide.

They climbed up to this level of Daru and took their seats.

Strangely enough, when Hanbin went up, the guests on this floor left their seats.

At that moment, a dot came slowly towards Hanbin.

Jeomsoi bowed his head politely.

“What kind of car would you like, sir?”

“Bring me some white azalea mixed with sulfur tea.”

Those around him were surprised by Hanbin’s words.

The yellow flower was a flower that only grew on the banks of the Yellow River.

The fragrance of this flower is quite famous, and it is said to be the best among the tributes offered to the palace.

The problem was that the yellow chrysanthemum was a flower that bloomed only once every four years.

Even if it was dried there and made into tea material, it was difficult to store and was traded at a high price.

What about Baek A-ju?

It was a liquor that was considered the best among liquors.

But you’re mixing the two?

At first glance, it might seem like a good idea.

But it’s just blowing away the expensive cars and expensive alcohol.

No one thinks of such an order.

While everyone was surprised, Jeomsoi quickly lowered her head and answered.

“I’ll get you there quickly, sir.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

At that moment, everyone who was watching their conversation opened their mouths.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand their conversation.

Seolhwa, who was standing next to him, said as if she couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Your Majesty, I think the tea I just ordered is a bit strange. I think it would be best if you tell me quickly and cancel it.”

“No. Once you taste it, you will understand, Seolhwa.”

“I don’t understand at all… … .”

Seolhwa trailed off.

This is because three men in gray uniforms came out of the separate kitchen on this floor.

They were each holding a box.

Thud thud.

They came in front of Hanbin and placed the box on the table.

widely.

As three heavy-looking boxes were placed on the table, Hanbin opened them nonchalantly.

Rattling.

At that moment, everyone watching swallowed their saliva.

Among them, only Baekmirang and Heukmirang maintained their composure and looked at Hanbin.

When I opened the box, a document came out of it.

Hanbin took out the documents one by one and looked through them nonchalantly.

For more than half an hour, Hanbin carefully examined the document.

As Hanbin put the document into the box, one of the gray-uniformed soldiers bowed his head.

“Are you satisfied with the car?”

“Yes, it fits my mouth really well.”

“Haha, thank you. I’m sure our lord will be pleased.”

The warriors disappeared with the box.

While everyone was looking at Hanbin in a daze, Baek Mi-rang looked at the kitchen where the warriors had disappeared and spoke.

“This is the headquarters of public inquiry.”

“As expected, Haomen’s information is excellent.”

“Thank you, Confucius, I now know the secret language of public inquiry. Thank you.”

“It’s only fair that I taught them the secret language of Haomen.”

As Hanbin smiled, Baek Mirang quietly looked up at the ceiling.

At that sight, Heukmirang intervened urgently.

“Confucius is cruel.”

“Me?”

As Hanbin smiled, Heukmirang continued speaking.

“The stuff we brought. I think the Wisise family will be in trouble.”

After finishing speaking, Heukmirang pointed out the window.

That was where the gate of Hebei Province was located.
