Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 453



Only Noblemtl

453. For the Nation (4)

Hanbin continued to check Dokgo Jin’s condition.

A faint smile appeared on Hanbin’s face, which had been as hard as stone.

At the same time, Dokgo Jin’s complexion gradually returned.

But Dokgo Jin still hasn’t come to his senses.

Cheonghwa, who was standing next to him, just swallowed dry saliva.

It was the same with Cheonghwado.

It was because I thought that public reading was not a panacea.

How much work did you do to achieve the goal of public reading with Hanbin’s help?

Among them was the incident where he saved Tang Wuqian, Cheonghwa’s grandfather.

Thanks to this, he learned about his birth and even found his family from whom he was separated as a child.

I thought that the kindness Hanbin gave me would not be enough to repay even in the next life.

But at the crucial moment, it was of no help at all.

Cheonghwa felt sorry about that.

Cheonghwa glanced at Seolhwa.

Seol-hwa’s eyes are also trembling.

When their eyes met, Seolhwa grabbed Cheonghwa’s shoulder.

It meant that nothing would happen.

Cheonghwa felt strangely relieved.

Cheonghwa thought that the family connected by blood was the Dang clan, but the family connected by affection was Hanbin and Seolhwa.

It was when Seolhwa and Cheonghwa were sharing warm gazes.

Dokgo Jin let out a deep sigh.

“Whoa.”

“Are you okay, Dokgo Daehyeop?”

Despite Hanbin’s words, Dokgo Jin did not open his eyes.

The lips that had turned blue at that time found red.

At that moment, Dokgo Jin opened his eyes.

Anger burned in his eyes.

In contrast, his voice was gentle.

“Thank you, Prince Peng.”

“You’ve come to your senses, Dokgo Daehyeop.”

“Didn’t you know that he was of sound mind?”

“Yes, I knew.”

“You owe me life again. You are the hero of Sapa.”

“haha.”

Hanbin laughed awkwardly.

Can a person who is a sectarian become a hero of the sect?

The only time he became a hero of Sapa was when he was disguised as the Red Dragon.

Hanbin looked at him with a serious expression as if he remembered something.

Dokgo Jin’s eyes were still burning brightly.

Hanbin asked in a low voice.

“Who on earth made you like this?”

Instead of using the title of Great Swordsman, Hanbin called him Yeonju.

At that title, Dokgo Jin’s eyes cleared of anger.

When he was called Daehyeop, he was just a single man, but the moment he was called Yeonju, he became the leader who led the group.

So I had to look at the situation a little more objectively.

Dokgo Jin, who had been thinking about something for a moment, continued speaking.

“I don’t know.”

“Huh? What do you mean? If I had been hit by the ice, there would have been a clash with the opponent… … .”

Hanbin expressed his thoughts.

Dokgo Jin cut off Hanbin’s words.

“We were taken by surprise.”

“How could the Great Swordsman be taken by surprise?”

The title that Hanbin uses to call Dokgo Jin has returned to Daehyeop.

It was because he had control of his emotions.

“You were as secretive as me and as powerful as the Three Masters of Murim.”

Dokgo Jin’s eyes turned towards the river.

His eyes changed. They were filled with regret, not fear.

Hanbin was shocked at the sight.

Hanbin knew the meaning of those eyes.

It was a regret for not being able to confront the strong.

That figure, longing to meet the strong even after almost dying, was the true appearance of a true Sapajeilin.

Of course, Hanbin absolutely refused to meet a strong person when he was not prepared.

The idea that you become stronger by fighting against strong people was all nonsense.

Only thorough preparation could defeat the strong.

The problem now was that we didn’t know the identity of our opponent.

Hanbin, who remembered something, asked again.

“What happened to the members of the Wi Sang-ho family?”

“I only heard the sound. If I listened to their footsteps, they must have gone to the river.”

“If it’s the river… … .”

The situation was roughly drawn in Hanbin’s head.

Dokgo Jin asked after seeing that expression.

“You look like you have something on your mind.”

“Before I came here, I saw a ship passing by.”

“Hmm, that’s where the one who surprised me is riding.”

“It was a ship as white as snow.”

“You’re putting a ship like that here?”

Dokgo-ryeon’s eyes widened.

The fact that he took Wi Sang-ho’s family was a secret mission in itself.

But I didn’t understand why he brought such a conspicuous ship.

Hanbin asked cautiously after seeing Dokgo Jin’s expression.

“Daehyeop, please tell me just one thing.”

“Ask me anything.”

“How many moves did it take to subdue the Great Swordsman?”

“It was just one move. I lost consciousness for a moment when he struck me in the back.”

“Why are you so sure that the method used to attack the Great Swordsman was a long sword?”

“Isn’t there a wound? Don’t you know that this is the characteristic of my method of restoration?”

When Dokgo Jin made an embarrassed expression, Hanbin answered.

“The Great Hyup’s words are correct.”

“Heh heh.”

Dokgo Jin smiled awkwardly.

When there was nothing more information to be extracted from Dokgo Jin, Hanbin turned his head and looked at the place where the white ship had disappeared.

It was north.

That was when.

A word lingered in Hanbin’s mind.

Hanbin closed his eyes for a moment and focused on the word.

It was a word that clearly came to mind, but I couldn’t figure it out exactly.

The strokes were flowing like a tadpole.

Hanbin didn’t know where the faintly visible words came from.

But I’m convinced that it has something to do with this incident.

Hanbin quickly used his power-up skill, ‘Eye’.

As I thought about the inside, the blurry letters slowly became clearer.

It was two letters.

White whale.

“The background is… … .”

Dokgo Jin asked Hanbin’s monologue.

“What do you mean, sir?”

“Suddenly the name of the ship I had seen came to mind.”

“Is that ship’s name Baekgyeong? If it’s Baekgyeong, isn’t it a legendary ship?”

“Yes, that’s right. There’s a legend that says that if you become a god by climbing a ship, you’ll ride on clouds across the sky and a white whale on the river. When I see that white boat without a speck of dust, I’m sure it’s a white whale.”

“Anyway, I’ll put all my effort into finding out who they are, little brother.”

“What do you mean, brother? Great Swordsman.”

“If you saved Sapa and even my life, isn’t it natural that we become brothers?”

“If it’s a brotherly relationship… … .”

“You don’t like it?”

“That’s not it. Please wait a moment.”

Hanbin turned around.

Then he racked his brain fiercely.

Peace has been restored between the Jeongpa and Sapa factions thanks to a new agreement between the Daesin Sega and Gangnam Sado-ryeon.

The two did not stray from the justification for becoming sworn brothers.

The next thing to look at was profit.

Hanbin, who had finished thinking that far, turned around and looked at Dokgo Jin with a kind face.

Dokgo Jin said after seeing Hanbin’s expression.

“Looking at your expression, I see you’ve made up your mind.”

“Yes, of course I’m happy, but I was a little worried that the distribution might be messed up.”

“Haha, how can you judge the relationship between unmanned entities with formal logic like distribution? Don’t worry about it.”

“Yes. Thank you, brother.”

“Then, when we return, let’s have a drink together and show respect to each other as brothers.”

“It’s possible here, right now.”

“Haha, you still have a short temper. But I’m preparing… … .”

Dokgo Jin was unable to continue speaking.

Because Hanbin raised his right hand.

While Dokgo Jin was tilting his head, Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly.

At that sound, Seolhwa took a step closer, then put down a bundle.

Dokgo Jin was surprised at the sight and asked.

“What is this? If it’s medicine, I’m fine now.”

“It’s not medicine.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin opened his bundle.

There were writing brushes and ink neatly arranged there.

Dokgo Jin looked at Seolhwa without realizing it.

Seolhwa began to eat without paying attention to his gaze.

At that sight, Dokgo Jin opened his mouth wide.

I now know what Hanbin and his group have been through.

I also knew how quickly I had rushed here.

What on earth makes you come here with that bundle?

Dokgo Jin sighed in disbelief as he watched Seolhwa silently eating.

“phew!”

At that sound, Seolhwa looked at Dokgo Jin quietly and said.

“Confucius said that a contract is as precious as one’s life. Hehe.”

Dokgo Jin, who had been smiling at Seol-hwa’s bright smile, tilted his head.

“A contract? What do you mean?”

Then Hanbin joined in with a big smile.

“Let me explain it to you, brother.”

“Speak comfortably, little brother.”

“I also signed a contract when I became a disciple with Master Hong Chil-gae.”

“Well, I heard that rumor too.”

“Isn’t there a saying, ‘the military is one’?”

“yes.”

“I think that the relationship between brothers is as important as that between lord, master, and parents.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

“So, of course, we should write a contract, right?”

“If the relationship between a disciple and his master was confirmed through a contract, then it would be reasonable for the relationship between brothers to also be signed through a contract. Good.”

Seol-hwa, who had finished eating, turned her head away from watching their conversation.

It’s because I couldn’t control my facial expressions.

Strangely, it felt like everyone became fools whenever they met Hanbin.

Seolhwa made up her mind that she shouldn’t do that.

But he didn’t remember that he had also signed a contract with Hanbin.

A few days later, the Habukpengga family’s battle.

Peng Kang-wi was looking at Han Bin and his group with calm eyes.

Contrary to his calm gaze, his feelings were complicated.

I never thought that the youngest, who I didn’t even care about, would make such a fuss about Kangho.

It was only yesterday that the incident at Sacheondangga took place, and it was also the youngest who calmed the chaos in Habuk.

In fact, when I returned from Sacheon, I was going to give him a reward as the head of the household.

But now, the youngest has become too big for the family to give him a reward.

The youngest son also solved the food shortage, which was the biggest problem in Habuk.

It was truly astonishing that food was brought into Hebei Province, which was under strict blockade a few days ago.

No one noticed because they brought in a pile of dog dung plants over the food.

The Pengangwei distributed the food through the Sangdan managed by the Habuk Pengga.

Thanks to that, I don’t know how many greetings I received from the governor of Hebei Province and his subordinate officials.

Habukpengga gained profits and even gained fame.

Peng Kang-wi, who was trying to encourage the youngest while hiding his emotions, got up from his seat without realizing it.

Then he slowly approached Hanbin.

Thud. Thud.

Without even realizing that he was walking with his internal energy, Peng Kang-wi walked towards the youngest.

Everyone looked at the sight with delight.

There were no more enemies for Hanbin here.

After Madam Jeonghwa left, the factions disappeared and the family became tightly united around the head of the household.

Peng Kang-wi thought that all of this was thanks to the youngest.

He couldn’t control his surging emotions.

“Hanbin!”

Peng Kang-wi hugged his youngest son tightly and called his name.

For a moment, Peng Kang-wi felt that something was strange.

First is the reaction of those around you.

The second was the youngest’s expression.

Peng Kang-wi released his arms and looked at the youngest.

I looked to the side, not knowing what to do.

That was when.

One of the warriors in the place where the youngest was looking came forward, scratching the back of his head.

“Father, I am Hanbin.”

“… … .”

Peng Kangwei couldn’t understand what he was talking about.

Hanbin sighed at that sight and continued speaking.

“This guy is my bodyguard, Lee Mu-myeong. He gained enlightenment in the middle and changed his appearance a little.”

At Hanbin’s words, Peng Kangwi narrowed his eyes.

“Then maybe a complete transformation… … .”

“Father, I have something to ask you before that. How did the conflict with the Cheonri Pyo-guk come about? I heard that it all started because of a single badge.”
