Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 526



Only Noblemtl

526. Jungwon Ilgeom (中原一劍) (2)

The content of the letter was unexpected.

He said that he felt he needed the power to protect his fresh older brother.

In addition, he said that he decided to enter closed-door training until the moment he gained that power.

The letter ended with a final request to wait.

It looks like it was written in a rather rushed manner.

It was almost as if she had written it in a hurry before being kidnapped.

* * *

At the same time, a carriage headed to the palace.

Princess Hyomyeong glared at her opponent with a sullen face.

The person she was looking at was Jo Mi.

Jo Mi is a maid who has been by Princess Hyomyeong’s side since she was young.

Although she was a maid, Hyomyeong felt like she was his older sister.

It was the same with Jo Mi’s treatment of Hyo Myeong.

Because of this incident, Hyomyeong was taken straight to the palace.

Hyomyeong, who was dragged away without even having a chance to say hello to Hanbin, was now very upset with Jo Mi.

Jo Mi said after seeing Hyo Myeong’s eyes.

“Princess Mama, that kind of look doesn’t work on me. For the time being, I won’t be able to leave the palace. And what is closed-door training? If I write it like that, Princess Mama, who isn’t even a martial artist, won’t you get confused?”

“Then what should I do? I’m afraid that my immortal brother will be worried if he finds out that I’ve been banned from the temple… .”

Hyomyeong looked at the back of the carriage, his voice trailing off.

The back of the carriage was blocked, but in that direction there was Yulim Seowon.

Jo Mi asked, as if she was shocked by the sight.

“And who is the new uncle? Isn’t he just Prince Peng?”

“Don’t call me that, Jomi.”

“Why is that?”

“If you just call out the name, the mystery disappears. That’s what my god brother is to me.”

“Oh, Princess Mama. When you return to the palace, you will have to keep your head down for a while.”

“I wish you had at least said hello… … .”

“But you gave me time to write the letter.”

“There wasn’t enough time, Jomi.”

That was when.

The sound of horse hooves approached the carriage.

Hot and cold. Hot and cold.

At that sound, Princess Hyomyeong’s expression hardened.

In fact, even though he was whining to Jo Mi right now, Hyo Myeong had experienced something unimaginable just a few days ago.

At that time, I felt safe because Hanbin was by my side.

She had faith that somehow he would save her.

But after Hanbin disappeared from the secret room, Hyo-myeong’s fear grew.

During her stay in the secret room, she did not sleep a wink.

I didn’t even blink. I was so scared.

Finally, Zhuge Li fell asleep after taking a blood transfusion from her.

Even now, the fear is the same.

There were more than a few times when I was on the brink of death due to illnesses I contracted as a child.

But the fear at that time and the fear given by the masters of the martial arts world were on a different level.

My biggest fear was that death would not give me time to prepare.

In addition, the thought of losing the life I gained due to Cheonsanhyeolrang’s internal strife made my obsession with life grow even stronger.

At the sound of horse hooves getting closer, Jo Mi stuck next to Hyomyeong.

Then he hugged her tightly.

“Calm down, Princess Mama. It’s probably Jin Ho-wi.”

“Jin Ho-wi?”

“The sound of horse hooves is a little different.”

“Did you learn martial arts, Jo Mi-do?”

“What martial arts should I learn?”

Jo Mi waved her hand.

Just then a loud voice was heard from outside.

“Hello, my name is Jin Dae-myeong.”

“See, I’m right, right?”

After finishing speaking, Jo Mi removed the cloth hanging over the carriage window.

There, a warrior in his mid-thirties was riding a horse that matched the speed of the carriage.

Jo Mi, who had confirmed it, asked.

“Your Majesty Jin, what’s going on?”

“I brought a letter from Queen Hyunbi.”

“Please give it to me first.”

“Here it is.”

Jin Dae-myeong delivered the letter with both hands.

Although he let go of the reins, the horse seemed to know Jin Dae-myeong’s mind and kept pace with the carriage.

Jo Mi received the letter respectfully.

After confirming the seal, Jo Mi handed the letter to Princess Hyomyeong.

Then he covered the window with a cloth.

At that moment, Jin Dae-myeong’s voice was heard.

“Please wait a moment, Miss Jo Mi.”

At the word calling her, Jo Mi lifted the cloth.

As I opened the curtain, Jin Dae-myeong’s brightly smiling face came into view.

Jo Mi tilted her head at the sight.

Jin Dae-myeong handed over a clean pouch without any hesitation.

It was a pocket made of ordinary cloth.

Jin Dae-myeong bowed his head slightly after saying that.

“This is Jeonbyeong. I bought it in the village ahead. Please eat it in the carriage.”

“thank you.”

After finishing speaking, Jo Mi lowered the cloth again.

Hyomyeong asked at that sight.

“Why is the seasoning like that?”

“What about me? Princess Mama.”

“How embarrassed would Jin Ho-wi be?”

“Why is that person embarrassed?”

“You can tell just by looking at him that he likes seasoning.”

“Hey, I am the servant who serves the princess, and that person is the bodyguard who serves the concubine.”

“How long will you be by my side?”

“Until I die.”

“Please don’t do that, Jomi.”

“What does that mean?”

“When I grow up, I’m going to marry a fresh older brother. Jo Mi, quickly go and get Jin Ho-wi.”

“Oh, what on earth do you mean? Jin Ho-wi and I are not related at all.”

“We’re not even related, so why are you pretending not to know each other? Your face is red.”

Hyomyeong pointed to Jo Mi’s face.

Jo Mi, who had touched her own face, hurriedly changed the subject.

“Please check that letter first.”

“Ah, it’s obvious as you can see… … .”

“But you should check it out. Who knows, maybe there’s a way to get scolded less by His Majesty?”

“Hey, where can I find something like that?”

Although he said that, Hyomyeong naturally opened the letter.

Hyomyeong’s expression suddenly hardened as he checked the contents of the letter.

Then he looked at the seasoning.

Jo Mi asked urgently in the sudden situation.

“What on earth is it that makes you say that?”

“It’s because the content is strange. Did I do something that deserves an award?”

“What’s the prize?”

“It’s written here. His Majesty has decided to give me a reward, so don’t worry. I hope your mother didn’t lie to me because she thought I would run away. Jo Mi.”

“I’m also good at that… … .”

Jo Mi-do also shook his head.

No matter how much I thought about it, this was impossible.

If you go out without saying anything and almost die, can you say you’ve achieved something?

At that moment, Jo Mi narrowed her eyes.

Because one possibility occurred to me.

* * *

The remaining students in Sohogak each received a piece of cloth.

Then he started to shed tears.

They looked at the ceiling silently.

It was to hide his moist eyes.

The sight of all the larvae looking up at the ceiling was like a sight of dozens of baby birds craning their necks to get food.

Zhuge Liang, who had just entered Soho Pavilion, was shocked to see them like this.

Zhuge Li approached Yang Seok-bong, who was at the very front.

“Master Yang, what’s going on?”

“It’s because of Peng Yu-saeng, Master Zhuge Liang.”

“Did Peng Yu-saeng hit you?”

“Oh, that’s not the case. Peng Yu-saeng gave us a token.”

“ah.”

“Look at this.”

Yang Seok-bong held out a piece of hair string.

Zhuge Li understood what the current situation was.

“You exchanged tokens of grace.”

“Yes, since there is only one, I divided it up fairly like this. It was the first time I realized that Peng Yu-saeng was such a master.”

“Haha, Mr. Peng is a bit skilled.”

Zhuge Li pointed to the piece of hair ribbon.

In fact, even Zhuge Li was quite surprised by the move of cutting off the hair tie.

It was more surprising than the confrontation with the rabbit mask.

Zhuge Liang could see that a single cut of cloth contained tens of thousands of variations.

Zhuge Li had to erase all the information he had gathered from his investigation into Han Bin.

In fact, the Zhuge family thought of Hanbin as a secret weapon raised by the Habuk Peng family.

But the conclusion I came to after coming here was different.

The point is that in Habukpengga, you cannot produce masters like Sa Gongja.

Habukpengga didn’t have that kind of capacity.

The basis for thinking this way was simple.

What process is required to sharpen a sword?

The first thing I needed was a whetstone.

To sharpen steel to a sharp edge, you need a grinding stone that is strong enough to grind away the steel.

It was impossible to sharpen a sword blade out of wood.

In Habuk Pengga, there was no sharpening stone to sharpen the blade called Penghanbin.

Her older brother, who is a soldier in the Justice Alliance, says that the Justice Alliance has never helped her.

then?

It was clear that it was a gift from heaven.

Zhuge Liang decided to investigate the circumstances in the future.

At that time, Yang Seok-bong asked.

“Master Zhuge Liang, are you acquainted with Master Peng Yu?”

“Well, it’s fate.”

“Does Master Peng have a lover?”

Zhuge Li tilted his head at the question.

It was actually an absurd question.

At that moment, Zhuge Li felt a stinging gaze and looked around.

The other students were also waiting for Zhuge Li’s lips to fall.

Zhuge Li did not know what the situation was, but decided to answer anyway.

“As far as I know, none.”

“Thank you, Master Zhuge Liang.”

Yang Seok-bong bowed his head respectfully.

Zhuge Liang’s head tilted one more step.

That’s because I felt that Yang Seok-bong’s eyes were shining even brighter today. Of course, the eyes of the other students were the same.

* * *

Same time.

Kang Yu-chan nodded at Han-bin who had finished reading the letter.

He was looking at Hanbin with mixed emotions.

Although he left the Hwasan faction and resides in the palace, even the smallest things happening in the world of martial arts reach his ears.

Has there ever been a person in the history of martial arts who was involved in so many incidents in such a short period of time?

Kang Yu-chan could definitely say that the person who was like that was none other than the Four Dukes of Habukpengga.

In fact, this event had more meaning than anything else I’ve done so far.

This was because the Jinuiwi had destroyed the organization that they were chasing under the emperor’s orders.

The pursuit of that organization had already been going on for decades.

When the investigation was completely completed, perhaps an unimaginable reward would be awarded.

Of course, I couldn’t explain the details to the four princes of Habukpengga.

It’s a matter related to the secrets of the palace.

That was when.

A flame burst out from Hanbin’s hand.

Hururuk.

In an instant, the temple was engulfed in flames, leaving only ashes on my hand.

“What the hell is that?”

“It is to eliminate the cause of the trouble.”

“How can the princess’s letter be the cause of trouble?”

“If this letter remains, the princess might be influenced by the favors of the Gangho. So, we must eliminate such trouble.”

“Haha, you’re deep in thought.”

Kang Yu-chan was amazed.

In this respect, Kang Yu-chan liked Han Bin.

Hanbin was always the one who walked the walk.

The most important thing was that the choice was rational.

It was a look of hiding one’s emotions and taking care of the other person.

Hanbin smiled faintly as he looked at Kang Yuchan.

“haha.”

In fact, it was a laughter filled with complex emotions.

There was another reason why Hanbin burned the letter. He had never wanted to be associated with the palace, not even now.

If I went too far in by mistake, there might come a day when I would have to choose between the world of martial arts and the palace.

In addition, the rules of the palace were like clothes that did not fit Hanbin.

It was when Kang Yoo-chan and Han Bin were laughing while hiding their different emotions.

Kang Yu-chan tilted his head.

“Plum… … .”
