Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 46

Episode 46. Give me authority (1)
Even if evidence was provided, it could not be said that they were the characters of Salgwigok.
This is because it was not uncommon for them to intentionally disguise themselves as another assassination group to avoid being discovered.
“You’re not really surprised.”
“I knew they were going to kill me, so it’s not surprising. But what I’m curious about is who their target was and who instigated it.”
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t reveal that much. Their bodies were found at the government office.”
“The people who kill can be either civilians or civilians, so it would be right for the government to take charge of it. But what about Musowi?”
“Hmm, so… … .”
Gaju Musuhui began to reveal how his son came to enlightenment.
“Well, so you’re saying it’s all my fault?”
“It’s not my fault, it’s a favor. Even though you had a bad relationship with our child and broke off the engagement, you also gave our family a chance.”
“Then let’s say we don’t owe each other anything.”
“No, let’s just say that I owe you one thing.”
After finishing speaking, Musuhui looked at Hanbin with gentle eyes.

This week later.
Hanbin took a long break.
Because the aftermath of the incident last week was huge.
Hanbin also had some news he had been secretly waiting for.
It was a water supply incident that he had solved and a hundred-on-one duel with the Musi Sword Master.
Hanbin was not one to turn down the fame that came his way.
Now, in front of Hanbin was Lee Moo-myung.
After what happened that day, he changed his mind and decided to stay by Hanbin’s side.
It’s only a temporary contract for six months, though.
“My lord, how are you feeling?”
“It’s okay. How is this escort?”
“Thanks to you, my lord, I am fine. But I have a question.”
“Speak comfortably.”
“Why did you pretend to be me when the Baekgeomdae came?”
“Ah, that’s… … .”
Hanbin trailed off. He couldn’t tell the truth to Lee Mu-myeong, who had decided to stay here for six months.
It was when Hanbin was trying to talk things out.
Rattling.
The door opened and Cheolno came running in hurriedly.
“What’s wrong, Cheolno?”
“Your Majesty, the North is in an uproar right now.”
“Has something happened again?”
“That’s not it. There’s chaos in Habuk right now because of the rumor about a hundred-to-one match.”
“hmm.”
Hanbin coughed and laughed invisibly.
Because the long-awaited rumor had finally spread.
Hanbin, who had his expression fixed, asked.
“Cheolno, tell me more.”
“So, the escort of Imoo-myeong here… … .”
“Wait, what?”
“The incident of the Baek-il-Bi-mu incident happened when Imoo-myeong’s escort destroyed a group of assassins and had a misunderstanding with Baekgeom-dae, leading to a fight. Even a three-year-old child knows about it now.”
“ah.”
Hanbin let out a sigh. He seemed to know roughly what was going on.
It seemed like a misunderstanding arose because he revealed that he was Imoo-myeong that day.
At that moment, Imoo-myeong stood up from his seat.
“What’s wrong, you escort?”
“You mentioned my name to give me fame. Thank you, my lord.”
Cheol-no, who didn’t know English, tilted his head at Imoo-myeong’s lottery ticket.
Hanbin nodded quietly.
Hanbin, who needed to gain trust if not fame, had no choice but to agree with Lee Moo-myeong’s reasoning.

The ruling party of Habukpengga.
Peng Dae-wi looked at the pile of documents in front of him, clutching his head.
I had no idea that this many documents would come pouring in.
Peng Dae-wi looked at his subordinates and asked.
“When will you come out of the closed room, hyung?”
“There’s no news yet. According to your story, you asked me to bring you some more wallflowers.”
“Oh, why are you closing the temple for so long? And isn’t it a rule that you have to stop practicing when the wall falls?”
“I’m sorry, but there is no such rule in Pangga.”
“No. We have to make it now.”
“Then, since you are the acting head of the household, wouldn’t it be okay if you made it yourself? Should I get the relevant documents for you?”
“Hey, are you kidding me?”
“Oh, no.”
At that moment, the door to the court opened and a subordinate came running in.
“Your Majesty, we have guests from Hebei Province.”
“Haha. Then I should go and get it.”
Peng Dae-wi pushed the documents aside and stood up from his seat.

The reception hall of Habukpengga.
Peng Dae-wi offered a lottery to Jeong Ju-seop.
“Jeong Dae-in, it’s been a while.”
“I hope everything is fine, Lord Peng?”
“Yes, I am doing well thanks to you. By any chance, my lord… … .”
Judging from the fact that they were looking for the owner, it wasn’t an easy task.
Peng Dae-wi answered.
“You are entering the closed room, so I will be your agent.”
After that, as if it were a custom, we exchanged idle conversations about how we were doing while drinking tea.
When the bottom of the teacup became visible, Jeong Ju-seop opened his mouth with a faint smile.
“Then, I guess I’ll have to ask Lord Peng.”
“Please tell me.”
“Recently, there have been constant complaints that wolves are appearing in the Zhengmen Mountain area in the southern part of Hebei Province and harming the people.”
“If it’s Jeongmunsan? Isn’t Jeolho Valley nearby? The wolves there are rumored to be fierce, but they never come down to the houses, right?”
“Until recently, that was the case. But things have changed since a month ago.”
“hmm.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Jeolhogok is a place that the Justice League has declared to be forbidden, so if a wolf attacks a house there… … .”
“Yes, it is as you feared. We sent in government troops from Hebei Province, but it was like urinating on a person’s own feet. That is why we asked for the cooperation of the Justice League.”
“So, does Habukpangga want to join the Justice Alliance?”
The expression on Peng Daewi’s face changed.
On Peng Daewi’s forehead it seemed as if the words ‘What are the conditions?’ were written.
Relationships are relationships and business is business.
Peng Dae-wi was not so heartless as to send his family to a meaningless task.
Jeong Ju-seop nodded after seeing Peng Dae-wi’s expression and continued speaking.
“That’s right, Lord Peng. However, it’s not free. The coffin bet one nyang of silver for each wolf’s head.”
“At that rate, the ronin will probably flock here.”
When Peng Dae-wi showed interest, Jeong Ju-seop leaned his upper body and spoke softly.
“We need control power in case of an accident. I will discuss the case separately.”
A color came to Peng Daewi’s face.
“Then let’s select people within an appropriate range.”
“Thank you. I will never forget the help you gave me this time.”
* * *
The day after Jeong Ju-seop left Hebei Province.
The elders and the chieftains gathered at the Habuk Pengga House.
The agenda was to select personnel to be dispatched to Jeolhogok.
One of the elders raised his hand.
“I think it would be right for one of the disciples to go.”
“Who do you think is suitable?”
“I think the youngest prince who has been qualified as a candidate for the Sogaju this time is suitable. Considering the force he showed last time, I think it is right to give him a chance.”
Peng Dae-wi tilted his head in confusion at their conversation.
It was a joint mission involving the Kwan, Tamunpa, and Pengga.
To control it, it would have been right to send an entire force of soldiers who had eaten a fair amount of Gangho jjambbap or to come forward among the elders.
At that time, the head of the Hyeonmu Pavilion, who was in charge of overseeing the information, raised his hand.
“Can I say something too?”
“Tell me.”
The chairman allowed him to speak.
“I also think that it is right for the youngest prince to take on this mission. Although the youngest prince has shown his ability, there are still some internal rumors about him becoming a candidate for the Sogaju. In order to clear up those suspicions, I think it is right for the youngest prince to take on this mission.”
The eyes of the person on the top narrowed.
All those who have just spoken were followers of Confucius I and Confucius Lee.
They were trying to somehow bite the youngest prince, Hanbin.
Well, I didn’t stop him from biting.
But what would be the consequences if Hanbin made even a small mistake during a joint mission with the government forces?
It all came back to haunt the family.
Those who recommended Hanbin now were those who did not even think about the family’s position and were trying to force Hanbin into a corner.
‘Oh, that’s useless.’
Peng Dae-wi resented Peng Gang-wi for leaving the burden on him and entering the closed-door training.
At that moment, the elder with a white beard and an impressive, thin physique spoke quietly.
“I think it would be best to call the youngest prince here and ask his opinion.”
The elder’s words were a ray of light to Peng Dae-wi.
He quickly clapped his hands.
match!
“Then, as the elder has suggested, let us call the youngest prince here.”
As Peng Daewi nodded, a warrior escaped from the palace.
Hanbin, who received the call, felt that an opportunity had come to him.
I had to somehow establish a relationship with the government.
But then this opportunity came.
Hanbin, who arrived at Gajujeon, felt that he had become a target under the sharp gazes of the elders and the lords.
Hanbin smiled faintly as he felt like he was walking on a knife’s edge, having been bored lately.
This feeling was proof that I was alive.
Hanbin’s gaze, looking around, stopped at Peng Daewi.
“Did you call?”
“Youngest prince, sit over there.”
The bulge pointed to the end.
As Hanbin sat down, Peng Daewi continued speaking.
“These days in Habuk… … .”
Hanbin, who was listening to the explanation, narrowed his eyes.
The explanation of Peng Daewi was that in his previous life, it was called the Jeolhogok subjugation operation.
However, after the suppression operation was over, the name was changed to Jeolhogok Hyeolsa.
This is because as many as twenty of the Justice League warriors and ronin deployed for the suppression operation went missing.
Some assumed that it was the work of the Demonic Cult, but the discovery of twenty corpses later cleared the Demonic Cult of suspicion.
Judging from the torn parts, it was completely different from the martial arts of the Demonic Cult.
After that, the tragedy of the masterpiece fell into complete mystery.
This life was going to be different. I had to avoid crises and seize opportunities.
Once you’ve taken care of the coffin’s request, you’ll have a reason to ask for more.
But I couldn’t reveal it.
Peng Dae-wi asked after seeing Han Bin’s expression.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you scared?”
“no.”
“But why is your expression like that?”
“I don’t mind going out, but I doubt I’ll be able to carry out a joint operation with the government.”
“Does that mean you have no confidence?”
“No. What I’m worried about is my status.”
Peng Dae-wi narrowed his eyes.
“Status?”
“Yes, I know there are evil rumors going around about me becoming a candidate for the Sogaju. I also know that my family does not approve of me.”
Hanbin glanced at the elders and the footnotes. Those whose eyes met were busy turning their heads away, pretending not to notice.
At that sight, Peng Daewi asked with a curious expression.
“So you’re saying you’re giving up on this mission?”
“I will accept this mission. In return… … .”
“Instead? What do you want?”
“Please give me the Gaju card.”
At that moment, tongue-clicking sounds came out here and there.
“Heh heh.”
“You’re saying that… … .”
Hanbin, who saw their expressions, suppressed the commotion by showing his palm.
“Elders and Lords. If I were to ask you to join me on this mission, is there anyone who would go with me?”
Hanbin looked around.
