Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 555
Only Noblemtl
555. That’s it (4)
Peng Kang-wi narrowed his eyes at Peng Heuk-bin’s words opposing Han Bin’s opinion.
Changes also came to the faces of the young footnotes.
They craned their necks and their eyes sparkled.
He was being bullied by the youngest prince, Hanbin, but when Peng Hebin opposed it, he saw a ray of hope.
A young footnote spoke softly.
“As expected, the cow has great wisdom.”
“That’s right. Judging from the way you opposed it the moment you heard it, you must be quick to judge.”
As everyone was talking, Gaju Peng Gangwi stroked his beard and asked with a serious expression.
“Against? Tell me why.”
“It’s not that I’m tight-lipped… … .”
Peng Heuk-bin looked at the leaders, his voice trailing off for a moment.
The leaders who met each other’s eyes swallowed dry saliva.
There was anticipation in their eyes.
Peng Hyuk-bin, who had seen them one by one, continued speaking.
“I think it would be right to choose someone who won’t open their mouth at all.”
In an instant, gasps burst out here and there.
It felt as if a strong wind was blowing through the crack in the door of the house.
Peng Kang-wi looked at the sight with curiosity, without even paying attention.
“Based on what we have exchanged so far, the gist is that there may be a trap lurking in this Heroes’ Tournament.”
“I think the same thing.”
“Then who do you think would be a good candidate to send to the hero competition that will determine the fate of your family?”
“That is a question to ponder. But who on earth expressed the same opinion as I did?”
Everyone quietly turned their gaze to Peng Hyuk-bin’s question.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Hanbin.
Hanbin, who was receiving attention, smiled awkwardly.
“Is there something on my face? Why is it like… … .”
“As expected, that’s amazing. It’s a thought worthy of the head of Yulim Seowon.”
“Chief? What do you mean?”
“You are the first student to finish the course among the students who studied at the same school, so what else could you be but the top student? Congratulations, younger brother.”
Peng Hyuk-bin hugged Han-bin tightly.
Hanbin looked up at Peng Hyukbin with a bewildered expression.
Hanbin thought that his brother’s reaction was quite exaggerated.
Although Jang Yu-jung ordered early graduation, there were many reasons for this.
I heard later that he acknowledged Hanbin’s excellence.
He said that he had wanted to keep it in Yulim Seowon for a long time.
The problem was Hanbin’s danger.
Jang Yoo-joong said that Han Bin was born with a horoscope that made him take risks.
For that reason, it is said that Jang Yu-jung made Han-bin graduate from Yulim Seowon early.
It was at that time that Hanbin was recalling something that had happened not long ago.
Peng Hyuk-bin put strength into his arms.
It was not a force intended to threaten Hanbin, but a force that could be felt through affection.
Hanbin didn’t avoid it.
It was the first time in a long time that I felt family love.
It was when Hanbin was entrusting his body to his brother and making an indifferent expression.
Peng Hyuk-bin, who had been hugging his younger brother for a long time, released his arm.
He tapped his temple as if remembering something and turned his head.
He looked at the Gaju Pengangwei.
Peng Kang-wi nodded at his son’s gaze.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“I would like to assign the task of selecting a representative to go to the Heroes’ Convention to the youngest.”
“If there is a convincing reason, then do so.”
“I noticed something strange after I visited the Habuk branch of the Justice Alliance. But didn’t Hanbin just sit here and look out for a thousand miles? I think he definitely has a good idea.”
When Peng Heuk-bin insisted strongly, Peng Gang-wi nodded.
The rest of the leadership reluctantly nodded.
Peng Kang-wi looked at Han Bin quietly.
Hanbin, whose eyes met mine, slightly bowed his head and continued speaking.
“I will follow what my father and brother say.”
“Tell me who is suitable.”
“I think you are a good fit, Father.”
“hmm.”
Peng Kang-wi swallowed the sound.
At the same time, the intestines began to churn.
“What did the Four Confucius say just now?”
“That’s right. Just now, Master Sa said that Mt. Wudang was dangerous.”
“You’re sending the next head of household to that dangerous place?”
“Heh heh. By any chance… … .”
“Don’t say that. I heard that Lord Sa gave up his seat to Sogaju before.”
“I might have changed my mind.”
They began to suspect Hanbin.
As the atmosphere became noisy, Peng Heuk-bin clapped his hands.
match!
It was a move that contained internal energy.
Everyone’s attention was focused on that sound.
As everyone’s attention gathered, Peng Hyuk-bin spoke.
“The lord and I have clearly entrusted the task of selecting the representative to the youngest. If there is anyone who is dissatisfied, come out now.”
At those words, everyone turned their heads.
Peng Hyuk-bin, who had calmed down the situation, looked at Han-bin.
Hanbin, who was receiving attention, continued speaking.
“Even though it is dangerous, I think it is right for the person representing the family to go in person.”
That was when.
Hyunmu-gakju cautiously took a step forward.
“Didn’t you clearly scare me earlier by saying that Jincheonrye and poison could run rampant? But what if you say you’re sending the next head of the household to the Hero Competition?”
“You don’t have to worry about your brother’s safety.”
“What do you mean?”
“I plan to ask a master who can ensure safety to escort my brother.”
“… … .”
Hyunmu-gakju narrowed his eyes and waited for Hanbin to speak next.
Hanbin looked around at everyone and continued speaking.
“I will choose the escorts from among the people I know. That is why I just received the pledges of the lords.”
“Surely not among us… … .”
As Hyunmu-gook trailed off, Hanbin asked quietly.
“Would you like to be my escort, Lord Hyunmu?”
“No, to be entrusted with such an important mission… … .”
Hyunmu Jikju took a step back.
He wanted to come forward, but he was inferior to Sogaju Pang Hyuk-bin in martial arts.
That means it’s just a burden.
In addition, the road to Mt. Mudang was a bit uneasy.
Hyunmu-gook carefully examined Hanbin.
In his opinion, the most suspicious person here was Lord Sa.
He said that he would send his older brother, Peng Heuk-bin, to the place that was declared dangerous.
It was said that the youngest prince, Hanbin, would be chosen as the bodyguard responsible for Peng Heuk-bin’s safety.
I didn’t understand it at all, but I had no grounds to refute it.
Both Gajudo and Peng Hyeokbin believe in the four Confuciuses.
Hyunmu-gakju looked around.
Peng Hyuk-bin was patting Han Bin on the shoulder.
If you just look at this scene without any of the content, it feels like there’s no problem at all.
Peng Kang-wi also nodded at that sight.
“Then make sure to prepare without a hitch.”
After finishing speaking, Peng Gangwi picked up the sword next to Taesa.
And then it hit the floor.
thud!
It was a signal that the meeting had come to a conclusion.
At the same time, all the elders and ministers struck their swords on the ground.
Boom! Boom!
It was a sign of respect for the instructions given by the head of the household.

After the meeting held at Gajujeon.
The leadership gathered briefly at Hyeonmu-gak to sort out the conversation from the Gajujeon.
They stroked their necks as if it were a habit.
It felt like I was wearing a leash.
It wasn’t just anyone.
Everyone was hanging on to their necks. Then the older elders stood up from their seats.
They had dark circles under their eyes, indicating they were tired.
The last one to stand up was the hostess who stood up to the youngest prince, Hanbin.
The hostess stood up, looked at everyone, and stroked his beard.
“Everyone worked hard today. I stepped forward because I wanted to… … I wonder if I’ve caused trouble for the younger members.”
“No. It was only thanks to the hostess that we were able to speak up.”
“No.”
“There is no need to be humble. Thanks to the hostess, we were able to show our spirit.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
The hostess looked at everyone with a gentle smile.
After finishing his few words of wisdom, the host left Hyeonmu-gak with a regretful expression on his face.
The hostess who came out of Hyeonmu-gak quietly looked back.
Inside the Hyeonmu Pavilion, a lantern was flickering.
Because of this, several shadows become entangled.
The hostess who was watching this muttered to herself.
“I’m sorry, everyone… … .”
The hostess, who had been muttering incomprehensible words, bowed her head politely towards someone.
It was a scene that would make anyone tilt their head at the sight.
By coincidence, it was in the direction where the youngest prince, Hanbin, lived.
Of course it wasn’t a coincidence.
It was a Peking opera that was all done at Hanbin’s request.
I also had a debate with Hanbin.
I also signed confidently on Hanbin’s words.
It was all because of Hanbin’s request.
The hostess recalled what had happened a few months ago.
His eldest son had been suffering from an unknown illness.
The hostess poured out all her wealth, but her eldest son could not get up.
The one who helped at that time was the youngest prince, Hanbin.
The hostess went to see the god, Cheon Soo Jang Ju, and found out that he was Han Bin.
Unfortunately, Hanbin has already left for Yulim Seowon.
But there existed a god who was second only to the Heavenly Guardian King.
His name was Jang Ja-myeong.
Jang Ja-myeong heard the story of the hostess’s son, smiled, and told her to guide him.
The day after Jang Ja-myeong visited the hostess’s house, the eldest son got up from his seat.
The hostess tried to find Jang Ja-myeong and thank him several times, but he consistently refused.
It is said that the owner of Cheonsujang, Hanbin, left a request for some diseases and asked them not to accept gifts for those diseases.
The hostess suspected that the youngest prince, Hanbin, had clairvoyance at the time.
To the hostess, Hanbin was more than just a family connection.
Since Hanbin made a request, the hostess had no choice but to accept.
Of course, it wasn’t a light request.
In a way, it was like putting a leash on all the members of the Habuk Pang family.
Looking at the shadows mixed together at Hyeonmu Pavilion now, my heart feels slightly heavy.
But the hostess’s heart felt lighter than ever, thinking that she had repaid at least part of her debt.
* * *
As the older leaders left, the younger leaders continued the discussions.
As they were talking, when they came to signing the pledge, they all became dumbfounded.
Most of the footnotes did not know why they signed the pledge.
They could not help but admit that they had taken up the brush due to mob psychology.
They gathered at Hyeonmu Pavilion and began to exchange opinions.
The members of the council gathered at Hyeonmu Pavilion began to hold their heads and express their complaints.
“Why on earth did you sign that pledge?”
“Didn’t Baekho-gakju sign before me?”
“Well… … .”
Baekho-gakju trailed off.
That was when.
Someone tilted their head and asked.
“But what exactly was in the pledge? I signed it without even checking because the person before me did it.”
“What, what does that mean? I just did it because everyone else signed it.”
“Then who the hell confirmed the contents?”
“That’s right. Who was the first to sign?”
They looked at each other.
No one raised their hand to sign here first.
At that time, the master of ceremonies stepped forward cautiously.
“I believe the hostess was the first to sign.”
“The hostess? Didn’t you say that your eyesight has been getting worse lately?”
When Baekho Gakju tilted his head and asked, everyone looked at each other.
