Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 499



Only Noblemtl

499. Tiger in front, wolf in back (6)

Hanbin took a step forward, but Jang Yu-jung’s gaze was fixed on the bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube was as thin as a little finger joint.

There were several pills hidden in a bamboo tube thinner than a brush.

It was clearly an unmarried couple.

Jang Yu-jung and the managers here seemed to think of this as poison.

Perhaps at first it was clearly seen as an ordinary unmarried mountain.

But when Hong Geum-ho started foaming at the mouth and convulsing, they decided that it wasn’t just a simple case of indigestion, but poison.

But it wasn’t like that in Hanbin’s eyes.

Among the Jeongpa, no one knows more about Dok or Mihonsan than Hanbin.

Hong Geum-ho’s symptoms could not have appeared in the unmarried mountain.

Hanbin looked at Hong Geumho again.

His eyes were rolled back and his limbs continued to convulse.

Hanbin quickly looked at Cheonghwa.

Then he pointed at Hong Geum-ho with his finger.

At that moment, Cheonghwa ran to Hong Geumho like the wind.

At that moment, Jang Yu-jung raised his voice.

“Hey you, Choi Yu-ji! Hurry up and give me the cancellation!”

“I, I have nothing to do with it. It’s not poison, Dean.”

Choi Yu-ji shook her head wildly while both of her arms were restrained.

The more this happened, the more distorted Jang Yu-jung’s expression became.

“You’ve seen everything about me. So you’re going to ignore me?”

When Jang Yu-jung pointed to the bamboo tube, Choi Yu-ji said.

“I swear it’s not poison. It’s just single… … .”

Choi Yu-ji admitted that she wrote “Mihonsan.”

But when they said they put poison in it, it was something that would make me go crazy and jump around.

The unmarried mountain can be covered up somehow.

Mihonsan was a type of medicine that was also used to treat high-ranking officials who had trouble sleeping.

But if you use poison, you become a criminal without any excuse.

“You’re finally trying to trick me with the unmarried mountain. If it’s not poison but the unmarried mountain, try eating it yourself.”

“that…….”

Choi Yu-ji couldn’t continue speaking.

It would be okay if you diluted it with alcohol or water, but if you took Mihonhwan as is, you would definitely lose consciousness right away. If that happened, you would also lose the chance to claim your innocence.

Hanbin watched their conversation from the side and realized that the situation was not normal.

The ten years of war I experienced in my past life gave me enlightenment that would have taken a hundred years in this peaceful time.

It was a survival instinct.

Hanbin used his experience and increased wisdom to deduce the current situation.

Hanbin’s eyes lit up after he finished thinking.

The current situation could have been a small spark that would set the entire Central Plains ablaze.

Also, it won’t end with just Hong Geum-ho.

If you were targeting Hong Geum-ho, it would have been more logical to target him at his residence rather than here.

The fact that Hong Geum-ho has been brought to this point here means that he is targeting all of the students.

What if the scholars and students here are wrong?

The implicit agreements that had continued for hundreds of years, such as the non-interference of official duties, were bound to come to naught.

At that time, the government and the martial arts world had no choice but to point their swords at each other’s throats.

So, if we left this situation alone, it could have sparked a civil war.

Hanbin quietly closed his eyes and maximized his energy.

At that moment, Hanbin’s eyelids fluttered slightly.

Hanbin’s prediction was correct.

This place was surrounded by unknown forces.

Hanbin glanced at the workers again.

And then he nodded.

It was right to calm the situation down for now.

Hanbin looked at Jang Yu-jung again.

“Dean, please listen to me.”

A voice with a hint of inner strength.

Jang Yu-joong quickly turned his head.

“Why did you call me?”

“Choi Yu-ji is not a criminal.”

“What does that mean? I clearly saw Choi Yu-saeng take something out of his bosom and put it into the bowl of alcohol. In fact, it wasn’t just me… … .”

Jang Yu-joong looked away, trailing off into silence.

There were workers lined up there.

They were displaying a previously unseen spirit of unmanned operation as if it were a given.

All the workers who made eye contact with Jang Yu-jung were nodding their heads.

At that sight, Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly.

Cheonghwa came running to the sound.

As Cheonghwa stood next to him, Hanbin quickly snatched Mihonhwan away.

Whoosh.

Hanbin handed the unmarried pills over to Cheonghwa in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Cheonghwa swallowed all the remaining unmarried pills.

Jang Yu-jung opened his eyes wide at that sight.

I was so surprised I couldn’t even speak.

Well, the workers were surprised too.

Everyone was staring at Cheonghwa with their mouths wide open.

Hanbin asked Cheonghwa nonchalantly.

“Is this poison?”

“No, Your Majesty. It is not poison.”

“Then what?”

“It contains a small amount of unmarried children.”

At Cheonghwa’s words, Hanbin looked at Jang Yu-jung again.

“I see.”

“Haha, how could I believe what that kid says?”

“Then, would you believe what Sacheondangmun said?”

“Hmm, I guess I can’t help but believe that. But how did you summon someone from Sacheondangmun?”

“The person here is Cheonghwa from Sacheondangmun.”

“… … .”

Jang Yu-jung tilted his head and looked at Cheong-hwa.

He had an expression on his face that said he simply couldn’t understand.

Hanbin nodded at that sight.

Cheonghwa took out a small iron plate from her bosom.

Jang Yu-jung narrowed his eyes when he saw the iron plate.

For a moment, Jang Yu-joong tilted his upper body to observe the iron plate more closely.

The little iron shield was not usually a piece of iron.

It was clear that the wisdom came from the West.

In addition, there was only one iron shield in the shape of a viper and an eagle facing each other with one sword.

“This is a total defeat… … .”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hanbin answered.

Dok-eung-dang-pae was one of the family sacred items held by the direct descendants of the Sacheon-dang family.

It was an elaborately made badge, and with just one Dok-eung-sa-cheon-pae, one could avail up to ten thousand nyang of silver on the battlefield in alliance with the Sa-cheon-dang-ga.

Moreover, if you hand this card to the upper level run by Sacheon Dangga, there is nothing you cannot obtain with this card.

In Sacheon, the face is a sign of status, but far from Sacheon, how can one know who is one’s direct descendant?

For that reason, Sacheondangga mobilized all of its technological capabilities to create the Dok-eungdangpae.

Because of its sophistication, there were few people who had not heard of the Dok-eung-dang-pae.

It was the same for managers.

Jang Yu-jung looked back and forth between Han-bin and Cheong-hwa with a puzzled expression.

“Then, this child is also in Sacheondangga… … .”

“Yes, he is one of the ten most powerful people. The Dok-eung-dang-pae only made ten of them. So you can trust what Cheong-hwa says.”

Hanbin pointed to the Dok-eung-dang-pae.

Not only Kang Ho-in, but most of the managers also knew that Dok-eung-dang-pae was rare.

Any officials who paid even a little attention would know that this was a sacred item of the Tang family, of which only ten were ever made.

Jang Yu-jung was one of them.

“I have no choice but to believe it since it’s what the Dok-un-dang-pae says. Didn’t you just say it wasn’t poison?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then why on earth did that child become like that?”

Jang Yu-joong pointed to Hong Geum-ho.

Hanbin took the words instead.

“Can I move for a moment?”

“… … .”

“Come here.”

Hanbin led Jang Yu-jung to a place just a few steps away.

Then he gathered his energy and spread it around.

“It was breathtaking.”

“Did you say, “Wow, amazing?” What on earth are you… …”

Jang Yu-jung’s voice trembled slightly.

That would be the case, because even among the escorts comprised of experts, there was no one who could display such amazing skills.

Hanbin said after seeing that expression.

“That’s not important right now.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin nodded to Cheonghwa.

Cheonghwa continued speaking after seeing Hanbin’s expression.

“That’s not poison.”

“Then, what the heck… … .”

Jang Yu-joong trailed off as if he didn’t understand.

Cheonghwa continued speaking with a calm expression.

“It’s not because of the poison or the silver needle that Hong Geum-ho became like that. There’s a silver needle stuck in his crown. It’s stuck so deep… … . You can’t pull it out on your own. If you pull it out wrong, your head will explode.”

When Cheonghwa spoke nonchalantly, Jang Yu-jung’s eyes widened.

At that sight, Hanbin continued speaking.

“It’s probably not life-threatening. The issue is not Hong Geum-ho’s safety, but ours.”

“What does that mean?”

“First of all, only the dean should know about it. Other students must never know about it.”

“I will do that.”

“Aren’t you curious as to why the needle was inserted into the Baihui point of Hong Jin-ho’s scholar?”

“That’s just to hack… … .”

“No. As Qinghua said, Hong Jin-ho was hit by a very sophisticated technique. In order to pull it out, a master of the Hwa-gyeong technique must draw out the true energy to the bottom. It is commonly called a hollow-out technique.”

“It’s a hollow water… … .”

“After pulling out the needle with the Heogongseopmul technique, the Hwagyeong master will have to rest for at least two hours.”

“Why on earth would you do something like that?”

“To be honest, we were surrounded.”

Hanbin lowered his voice even further.

“Surrounded… … .”

“Someone is surrounding this place. But please just let it pass.”

“Hmm, if that’s what you’re saying, then shouldn’t we get out of here quickly?”

“What about the inaction of the escorts disguised as workers?”

“No action… … .”

“It looks like peak level to me.”

“I heard it’s about that much. With the escorts gathered here, there won’t be a problem even if any enemy invades.”

“The opponents are at least high-level warriors, and even intermediate-level warriors. What will happen if we split up here?”

“… … .”

“I will only protect those around me.”

“Are you saying you’ll protect us? What power do you have… … .”

“You don’t have to believe me. But as a martial artist and a Confucian scholar, I have a duty to stand up to them.”

“hmm.”

“And I have a favor to ask.”

“What is that?”

“What I mean is a secret even to the escorts.”

“… … .”

“There were exactly twenty workers gathered here at first. But if you look closely now, there are only nineteen left.”

At Hanbin’s words, Jang Yu-jung looked around anxiously.

Jang Yu-joong’s eyes trembled slightly as he checked the number of escorts.

“Heh heh.”

“Once you have confirmed this, gather the patients together and light a fire in the middle.”

“Yes, I will trust you. But if this is your mistake, it will not end with just words, so know that.”

“all right.”

When Hanbin nodded, Jang Yu-joong returned to his seat.

Then he gave orders to his guards, who were disguised as administrators.

“Light a bonfire for the patients and have everyone gather in the center.”

At Jang Yu-jung’s words, all the escorts silently gave their blessings.

They built a bonfire in the middle of the open space and gathered there.

Cheonghwa, who was looking at the sight, tilted her head.

“Master, I have a question.”

“What are you curious about?”

“If the enemy is dangerous, wouldn’t it be better for you and me to secretly defeat the enemy and come back?”

“Then will they be grateful to us?”

“yes?”

As Cheonghwa opened her eyes wide, Hanbin quietly looked up at the sky and continued speaking.

“If we don’t kill the enemy in front of them, then perhaps… … .”

“Maybe something?”

When Cheonghwa tilted her head, Hanbin snickered.

“You might be accused of being an accomplice with the enemy.”

“ah.”

“What’s important now is not the safety of the students.”

“sure?”

“Habukpengga, Sacheondangga, and our safety.”

“… … .”

When Cheonghwa opened her eyes wide in surprise, Hanbin smiled sincerely.

“Now that we’re ready, let’s have some fun. Let’s go, Cheonghwa.”
