Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 538



Only Noblemtl

538 Soft on the outside, strong on the inside (3)

In fact, the other provisions were also evil, but they did not attract much attention.

But no escape!

This was an unheard of provision.

In fact, Sega’s secretaries were different from the warriors.

There are many cases where warriors are caught by the martial arts world because they learned the martial arts of their family.

This is because a warrior who has mastered the martial arts of a certain family to a certain level has the potential to leak the martial arts of the martial arts family.

Thanks to this, warriors above a certain rank can only leave the Murim family with the permission of the head of the household.

On the other hand, unlike warriors, scribes are free to retire from the martial arts world.

Why would a secretary who is free to retire escape?

This was not a course to work for the Murimsegae, but simply a course to learn.

I simply signed the contract with the promise to humbly accept the teachings.

But there are a lot of evil clauses tangled together.

As Jo Il-soon thought about this, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Because a strange sensation ran up my spine.

Why does it feel like the legendary man-faced landowner is covering his entire body with spider webs?

Jo Il-soon decided to calm his mind for now.

Then he took a deep breath and looked at the other secretaries again.

The other secretaries also looked at the contract several times with a puzzled look.

He just thought it was strange, but it seemed like he wasn’t as anxious as Jo Il-soon.

Some of the clerks were chuckling at the no-escape clause.

“No escape?”

“That’s right. Why did we, who came here to learn, escape?”

“But what about the clause below?”

“Haha, there are a lot of interesting clauses.”

They looked over the contract playfully.

The secretaries tilted their heads at first, then smiled and pointed to the contract.

Someone continued, laughing.

“It’s like… … .”

“But why?”

“If you look closely, it seems no different from a slave contract… … .”

“Hey, you must be mistaken. You must have written it with the intention of telling me to study hard. Do you really think you’re going to apply the contract that’s written here? Where is this place?”

“Where is it, Habukpengazi?”

“That’s right, that’s right. If you go to Habuk-pang, aren’t you the pillar of the Gangbuk faction?”

“That’s right. Why are you taking such an obvious statement so seriously?”

“That’s what I’m saying. Since Habukpangga is the righteous one, I can trust this contract. Do you really think he wrote that I have to keep all of these contents? If he said to keep all of these, even Sapa would cry. Isn’t that right?”

“Haha, that’s right!”

They nodded.

Then I glanced at where Jang Yu-jung was.

When Jang Yu-jung nodded under their gaze, the secretaries whispered again.

“Look at that. Our youngest Confucius is someone that Elder Jang Yu-jung vouched for. Let’s trust him and follow him.”

“That’s right. Not trusting the youngest prince is a betrayal of the Habuk Peng family, no, the entire Jeongpa.”

The clerks took their eyes off the contract.

They carefully folded the contract and put it in their bosom.

Of course, Jo Il-soon couldn’t calm his racing heart.

Are you suspicious?

I couldn’t tell if the other scribes were stupid.

Jo Il-soon looked over the contract again.

Jo Il-soon’s face turned pale as he read to the end.

The problem wasn’t that there was no escape.

Even if I died, I had nowhere to vent my frustrations.

It’s the first time I’ve heard that you can die while studying.

Jo Il-soon’s ominousness doubled.

In addition, it was only then that I understood what Hanbin meant by “refuse to obey.”

Every contract had the same content.

Because the contracts they signed were equally vicious.

Jo Il-soon, feeling uneasy, started to look around.

His gaze stopped in the direction of his close friend, Jang Moon-soo.

Jang Moon-soo stood next to Seol-hwa, as if he had already become Han-bin’s person.

Jo Il-soon asked with his lips without realizing it.

He asked if I had read the contents of the contract.

Jang Moon-soo, who saw the shape of his friend’s mouth, answered with the shape of his mouth.

The answer was, if you don’t trust your teacher, who can you trust?

Jo Il-soon couldn’t understand at all.

At that moment, Jo Il-soon intuitively realized that getting out of this contract was the only way to survive.

I have followed my close friend Jang Moon-soo to get here, but not just now.

My instincts were screaming that I had to get out now.

Jo Il-soon looked around hurriedly.

What caught his eye was the Gaju Pengangwei.

Jo Il-soon quickly approached Gaju Peng Kang-wi and made an apologetic expression.

“My lord, I have something to tell you.”

“Haha, tell me.”

Peng Kang-wi nodded his head at Jo Il-soon who came running in a hurry.

Jo Il-soon bowed his head as much as possible.

“I am sorry, but if all of our secretaries are out of their posts and are seeking instruction from the Four Great Masters, who will take care of the documents of the Hebei Peng family?”

This was a fact that no one could deny.

What Cho Il-soon urgently remembered was that the number of secretaries gathered here was not small.

Jo Il-soon had no intention of nullifying the entire contract between Hanbin and Seogi.

I just suggested it because I wanted to get myself out of this situation.

Gaju Pengangwei also nodded as if his words made sense.

“hmm.”

Gaju Peng Gangwi, who had been coughing, looked at Han Bin.

As soon as Peng Kang-wi turned his head, Han Bin grabbed the ball.

“There is a solution to that.”

“What is the solution?”

“I will dispatch someone from the Red Blood Tiger Corps who is skilled in document management. In return, I will take the secretary I contracted with to Cheonsujang.”

“Oh my, are there really that many members of the Red Blood Tiger Corps who can perform the duties of a secretary?”

“Of course.”

When Hanbin nodded, Peng Kangwi tilted his head.

Even if Hanbin said that he cooked rice with pine needles, he would believe it, but it seemed like a bit of an exaggeration.

As Peng Kang-wi looked at Han Bin with a suspicious look, Seol-hwa came running urgently.

Peng Kang-wi asked when he saw Seol-hwa suddenly running towards him.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

“It’s not that I didn’t learn from Confucius for less than two years.”

“This year… … .”

Peng Kang-wi looked at Jang Yu-jung, his voice trailing off.

What if you’ve reached a level where you’re recognized by Jang Yu-jung in less than two years?

At that moment, Cheonghwa also appeared, raised her hand and spoke.

“I’ve only been here for a year.”

After Cheonghwa, Sogun also spoke.

“It’s only been three months. If you learn from Confucius, you can become like the proverb says.”

“What proverb was that?”

When Peng Kang-wi tilted his head and asked, So-gun said.

“There is a proverb that says that if a dog studies at a private school for three months, it will be able to recite the Four Books and Three Classics.”

“Heh heh, something seems strange, but I will believe you.”

As the conversation progressed to this point, the secretaries’ eyes lit up even more.

When I think about it, Seolhwa and Cheonghwa’s words were right.

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa, who occasionally encountered each other in the family, were children who had built a wall around them that made them seem so foolish that they were not interested in learning.

However, it was surprising that he was able to raise his level of writing to the level of the Confucian scholars of Yurim Seowon in a short period of time.

At that moment, Peng Kang-wi spoke as if he had remembered something.

“I have something to say to everyone.”

“… … .”

The clerks and other family members bowed to the head of the household, Pang Gangwi, without saying a word.

It meant that I would listen.

After confirming everything, Gaju Peng Gangwi continued speaking.

“The Cheonghwa here is from the Sacheondang family. And Seolhwa is also the adoptive granddaughter of the Dokwang Dangmucheon, so I hope you will not be rude.”

I have known Peng Kang-wi for a long time through the messenger from Sacheon Dangga.

But it wasn’t announced separately within the family.

Because I thought it was something that everyone would naturally know.

However, since Hanbin left immediately without staying in Habukpengga, few of the family members knew about Cheonghwa and Seolhwa’s identities.

But looking at the situation today, I thought that someone might make a mistake.

The elders and the nobles already knew, but the family members within the family seemed to know Seolhwa and Cheonghwa’s status as mere concubines.

What if I make a mistake?

This was not a problem within the family, but had the potential to grow into a problem with the Sacheon Dang family.

The eyes of the secretaries suddenly wavered at Peng Kang-wi’s declaration.

Some of the clerks even stepped back hesitantly.

Even Jang Moon-soo, who had been on friendly terms with Cheong-hwa, opened his mouth wide.

Their surprise spread further and further.

The surprise spread to the place where the students were.

Among them, Yang Seok-bong pressed his temples and looked back on the events that had happened.

The same was true for Choi Yu-ji and Hong Geum-ho.

The rest of the students also recalled the events that had happened with Seolhwa and Cheonghwa.

For a moment, all the students shook their shoulders as if an earthquake had occurred.

It was not an illusion, but anyone who saw it could tell that he was trembling.

Most of the Confucian scholars do not fear the martial arts school.

It is because of the unspoken rule that official duties are inviolable.

But it’s different with Sacheondangga.

Because the Sacheondangga was something that could make you suffer without anyone knowing and then put you in a coffin.

The one who was most nervous was none other than Yang Seok-bong, who had the most friendly relationship with Han Bin.

He was the first to meet Hanbin and even made his escort confront Seolhwa.

I thought it was Hanbin’s fault so far and spoke about it without hesitation.

Before Yang Seok-bong left his family, he received one request from his father.

The point was to never get involved with the Sacheondang family.

But not only did he get involved with Sacheondangga, he also ignored Seolhwa and Cheonghwa without knowing anything about it.

Yang Seok-bong touched his heart and stomach.

It was to check if there were any serious poisoning injuries.

Of course, Yang Seok-bong wasn’t the only one who did such things.

All the students searched their memories in fear.

There was no way that Pang Kang-wi could not have noticed their appearance.

Peng Kang-wi tilted his head and looked at Jang Yu-jung.

“The expressions on the students’ faces are strange.”

“Haha, I guess it’s because the weather is cold, so you don’t have to worry about it, Master. If you shiver in this cold, how can you call yourself a man who studies?”

Peng Kang-wi laughed heartily at Jang Yu-jung’s words.

“It seems that the educational policies of Moon and Mu are similar. Now that you’re done looking around, let’s go in and enjoy the food that has been prepared.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Jang Yu-jung went inside with a big smile.

Now all that was left were Hanbin and his party and the secretaries.

Except for Jo Il-soon, they all had shining eyes.

Their faith grew even stronger when they thought that the direct descendants of the Sacheon Dang family were by Hanbin’s side.

At that time, Jo Il-soon approached Han-bin and gave him a lottery ticket.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. I think I should hand over the contract. I feel reluctant to abandon my work here and study at Cheonsujang.”

“Haha, I like our secretary because he’s always honest. If it’s a matter of responsibility, don’t worry about it. Just think of it as a dispatch and come comfortably.”

Hanbin answered with a kind face.

At that smile, Jo Il-soon hesitated and took a step back.

This is because Hanbin sent a message as soon as he finished speaking.

With those words, Hanbin moved into the hall where the banquet was being held.

The secretaries also entered the hall, holding the contracts carefully in their arms.

Only Jo Il-soon was standing there like a stone statue with a face that had turned pale.
