Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 568



Only Noblemtl

568. The Society of White Poison (3)

Then the cart appeared.

Only then did Peng Heuk-bin realize why the carriage was so late.

Even at a glance, the cart was clearly loaded with an enormous amount of luggage.

Even compared to the amount of luggage that Peng Heuk-bin brought, it was not small.

The luggage he brought out from Habukpangga consisted of four carts.

The wagons that you see now are also four in front of you.

The coachman driving the cart had an escort riding next to him.

A considerable number of people were mobilized.

Looking at the flags on the newly arrived wagon, they were the symbols of a thousand-mile country.

At that moment, a question popped into Pang Hyuk-bin’s mind.

All the funds that the family provided for this journey were in Peng Heuk-bin’s pocket.

But you’re mobilizing the Cheonri Pyoguk to bring all this luggage?

How on earth did the youngest one get that kind of money?

Peng Hyuk-bin did not understand the current situation.

Peng Heok-bin also knew that Han Bin had been swindling away the money from betting at events such as the family and the Mugajihoe.

But this was a problem of a different dimension.

Come to think of it, Cheonsujang was like that too.

No, before that, I bought Cheonsujang and made it into a normal manor. After that, I gathered people around it and made it into a normal village.

All of this was bound to cost a huge amount of money.

If he had achieved that success on his own, he should have made steady progress without a single failure.

But it was true that he had achieved great success on his own.

Because the family has never provided direct support.

Are you good not only at medicine and poison but also at business?

Even if you admit everything, it is a shame to present your achievements to your family without any help from them.

Peng Hyuk-bin swallowed a sigh.

Because I thought Hanbin’s sacrifice was too great.

I just saw him as a cute little brother, but it seemed like he was carrying the burden of family.

To be exact, what Hanbin was carrying on his shoulders could have been Kang-ho.

Hanbin asked at the strange look in Peng Hyukbin’s eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Your face is going to be worn out.”

“No, I think it would be better to talk about this.”

“Go ahead, brother.”

“Don’t try to carry too much burden alone. If the burden is too heavy, you have to share it.”

“Yes, I was preparing anyway.”

Hanbin laughed.

Hanbin knew what kind of illusion Peng Heukbin was making.

Once this was over, Hanbin planned to pay the bills.

Even including interest.

It could be a vested interest, it could be cash.

Of course, the Murim Segae who came to the Mugajihoe had prepared a pledge in advance in case something like this happened.

The question was whether the investment would be effective.

The money invested this time may not be recovered.

If I was not careful, I might have to risk my life and reach out to more people.

Hanbin looked around quietly.

So far, the plan has been progressing smoothly.

Peng Hyuk-bin tilted his head after seeing Han Bin’s expression.

“Are you preparing?”

“Yes, I plan to split it up as I go independent.”

“Hehe, your plan is a secret from me too, right?”

“I’ll tell you little by little. It’s not a one- or two-day journey, is it? Brother.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

It was when Peng Hyuk-bin nodded.

Yoon Yong-ho, who had accompanied Hanbin to Hanamjeongga, walked out of the frontmost cart.

He gave a small gift in front of Peng Heuk-bin and Han Bin.

It was time for them to face each other.

Jang Ja-myeong jumped out from behind.

He passed Hanbin and Peng Heukbin.

He looked longingly at the gate right behind him.

“Senior! Let’s go together. What will happen if you run like that?”

“Are you blaming me for being quick on my feet?”

“That’s not true, but what if you leave me alone? What will I do if I meet bandits? How much is this herb worth?”

“Don’t you believe in the thousand-mile sign?”

“That’s not it, but aren’t you the best, sir?”

Peng Hyuk-bin opened his eyes wide at their conversation.

“Rep. Jang! Did you just say herbal medicine?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Are there any herbs loaded on the three carriages behind?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Can I ask what kind of herb it is?”

“Well, most of them are rare herbs, but among them are golden yangcho and hanmicho… … .”

Jang Ja-myeong gave a brief recitation of the herbs he had brought with him.

Peng Hyuk-bin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.

The herbs that Jang Ja-myeong spoke of were not ordinary herbs.

A medicinal herb known to have unparalleled effects in wound healing and detoxification.

If they had scraped together that much, it would have been like robbing a herbal medicine store in Habuk.

Money was one thing, but it was impossible due to time constraints.

The judgment that Auga was carrying the burden of the family and the world had to be changed.

It seemed more appropriate to say that I was not carrying a burden, but rather was being crushed by a large rock called Gangho.

This was not a sacrifice.

It was as if he was trying to protect the peace of the world by burning his own body.

What on earth could have made Awu do that?

I think I know why the people around Cheonsujang call my brother Saengbul.

And then came the conviction that there was a way to obtain the Samhwangcho and that the herb was related.

It wasn’t Hanbin who would promise Hyeonmun the safety of Taegeuk Sword Master without any countermeasures.

Peng Heuk-bin blamed himself.

Because I felt like I lacked faith in my brother.

* * *

With Jang Ja-myeong and Hyeon-mun joining, they had to reorganize the procession.

The cart carrying the medicinal herbs was placed in the middle with some space between them.

The most important thing here, as anyone could see, was the medicinal herbs.

Peng Heuk-bin treated the medicinal herbs that Han Bin had brought with great care.

I checked the oil paper covering the medicinal herbs several times and asked the messengers of Cheonri Pyoguk separately.

After the maintenance was finished, Hanbin gestured to Jang Ja-myeong.

Jang Ja-myeong, who received the signal, stepped forward and spoke confidently.

“Your Majesty, I am ready.”

“Then please guide me.”

“Yes. If you take the shortcut, it will take five days, and if you take the official route, it will take ten days. What will you do?”

“Please take the shortcut. This is all part of training.”

“Hmm, are you okay?”

“Why are you asking me? You should ask the footnotes behind me.”

“Hehe, judging from your expression, it seems okay.”

“Then let’s go.”

When Hanbin reached out his hand, Jang Ja-myeong naturally stood in front.

At that sight, Damcheonho, the black turtle and turtle king, rushed out from behind.

“What happened to the peerless master who was supposed to be my escort?”

“That’s exactly what happened.”

When Hanbin revealed that he was a peerless master, Damcheonho laughed.

“Don’t joke, Confucius.”

“I’m not joking, Lord Hyunmu. I am that master. Why I am that master is, of course, a secret.”

“What the heck… … .”

Damcheonho turned his head and looked at Peng Heukbin.

It was to seek confirmation.

When Peng Hyeok-bin nodded, Dam Cheon-ho’s eyes grew wide.

Damcheonho, embarrassed, looked around.

The strangest thing was the atmosphere.

Everyone seemed to agree, except for the footnotes.

Sim Mi-ho, the Red Blood Tiger Squad member at the very back, was smiling with a proud expression.

Who is Sim Mi-ho?

She was a woman who was called Naengmiho among the footnotes.

It was because of her cold temperament.

As an instructor, she was merciless.

Actually, there were times when I shed tears. That was when I yawned because I was bored.

It was Sim Mi-ho who yawned and shouted, “Is that all there is to it, even if the footnotes die from the arduous training?”

The footnotes knew that Simmiho was not the type of person to ever lie.

The next day.

The entrance to the Chulong Mountains on the border of Shanxi and Hebei.

The Churyong Mountains are a long mountain range that stretches from the border between Hebei and Shanxi, resembling a dragon ascending to the sky.

However, because the terrain that appears to be the dragon’s head in the north is rugged, the character “ugly” (醜) was added in front of the dragon.

It was a mountain range so rugged that even wild beasts avoided it.

Of course, this was only at the beginning.

As you go down, the terrain becomes more similar to other mountains, so herbalists also frequent the southern part.

The problem is that merchants are reluctant to ride the Churyong Mountains because of the rugged terrain in the north.

There was even a local proverb that said that if you try to save time, you end up shortening your time in this world.

As we reached the entrance of the Churyong Mountain Range, the cart ahead of us stopped.

Jang Ja-myeong got off the cart and crossed his hands.

It was a sign to stop.

That was understandable, as the Churyong Mountain Range had no roads that carriages and carts could pass through.

The only path open was wide enough for one person to pass through.

Everyone knew it, but no one questioned it.

They thought there was something clever going on here since Jang Ja-myeong had confidently guided them there.

At that moment, Jang Ja-myeong, who had been leading the way, got off the cart.

He came to where Peng Heuk-bin and Han Bin were behind him and continued talking, pointing to the entrance of the Churyong Mountain Range.

“There is no way from now on, Prince Peng.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Representative Jang.”

“Well, from here on out, just follow the mountainside and go south.”

Jang Ja-myeong nonchalantly pointed to the entrance of the Churyong Mountain Range as if it were obvious that there was no path.

Peng Hyuk-bin cautiously intervened in their conversation.

“What do you mean, there is no way?”

“Prince Peng Hanbin told me to take the shortcut.”

“I heard your conversation with Awoo. So, is there a path on this side that only Congressman Jang knows about?”

“The road? Carriages cannot enter from here.”

“her.”

Peng Hyuk-bin found this situation absurd.

First of all, he trusted Hanbin and Jang Ja-myeong, but he said that he guided them here even though he knew that it was a place with no path.

This was nonsense.

At that time, Hanbin quietly walked towards the place where the Cheonri Pyo-guk’s cart was.

Hanbin whispered to the head of Cheonri Pyoguk, Pyo-sa Yun Yong-ho, who had a familiar face.

As soon as those words were spoken, the grooms and messengers of the Thousand-Li Pyo State began to move.

The herbalists put down all the piles of herbs.

In the blink of an eye, they put down the pile of herbs and drove off in their cart.

The remaining signatories stood next to the wagon brought from Habukpangga.

The surroundings started to become noisy due to the sudden situation.

At the same time, Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly!

At that sound, the Red Tigers also began to move.

From Habukpengga, the Red Blood Tiger Corps members who were driving carriages and carts unloaded their luggage all at once.

Seolhwa, Cheonghwa, and Sogun also each packed their bags and came to Hanbin.

Peng Hyuk-bin narrowed his eyes at the unexpected situation.

“What are you doing, brother?”

“We will walk from here.”

That was when.

The Cheonri Pyo-guk’s envoys who had remained in their seats left, driving Habuk Pengga’s carriage and wagon.

There was no room for Peng Hyeok-bin or the footnotes to stop him.

As the sound of the cart wheels grew distant, Peng Heuk-bin asked.

“So, are you planning to walk to Mt. Mudang?”

“No way. How far is that road to walk?”

“Then why did you send the carriage?”

“That carriage will be waiting about five li south of Hwaryeon Mountain.”

“Hwaryeon Mountain… … .”

Peng Hyuk-bin tilted his head and looked at Han-bin.

Hwaryeon Mountain is a mountain located at the southernmost end of the Churyong Mountain Range.

The terrain was known to be rugged and full of poisonous animals and insects.

Thanks to this, even herbalists avoid this place.

But when I said I was going to Hwaryeon Mountain, they tilted their heads in confusion.

Hanbin said without hesitation.

“We are going to attend the Baekdokjihoe.”
