Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 614



Only Noblemtl

614. Battle of wits (4)

Hanbin’s answer was almost arrogant.

Who would use the expression ‘living fire’ for themselves?

There was even talk of a mysterious medical technique.

That kind of confidence gave Dokho a strange sense of trust.

Dokho’s eyes sparkled.

“Yes, that’s right. Small business.”

“Before that, let me ask you one thing.”

“Go ahead, Sohyeop.”

“Is the patient a master of the White Dragon?”

“… … .”

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“How did you know?”

“A woman named Hyul-hu, who was outside, came looking for me.”

“Hyeolhu-ra, then I understand… … .”

As Dokho slowly nodded, Hanbin nodded slightly.

“Then please guide me.”

Hanbin got up from his seat.

At the same time, Dokho quickly stepped forward in front of Hanbin.

As soon as Hanbin and Dokho left, the inside of the VIP room became as quiet as a mouse.

A situation where people are just looking at each other.

They had no idea what to say or how far to go.

That would be the case, because so many things have happened not only outside but also inside Baekdokmun.

The first to speak was Peng Hyuk-bin.

Peng Hyeok-bin looked at Jang Ja-myeong quietly.

“Rep. Jang, is my younger brother okay… … .”

He stopped talking and looked around. He couldn’t ignore the proverb that even walls have ears.

Jang Ja-myeong responded to that appearance in a low voice.

“Your Highness, it’s all right here. As far as I know, no one can eavesdrop here. There’s an iron wall behind that wall, so it’s hard to eavesdrop.”

“A wall made of iron?”

“This place is called a reception room, but it is actually a prison.”

“Now, wait a minute. What did you just say?”

“This place is like a VIP reception room, but it’s also like a prison.”

“Does that make sense?”

“Of course it makes sense. Think about it. What kind of person would a German, or rather a nobleman of the martial arts world, be? Wouldn’t he be the best German or the best martial arts master?”

“That’s what Rep. Jang said.”

“Yes, so… … . Of course, a VIP is someone who should be treated with the utmost respect, but also someone who should be kept under the utmost vigilance.”

“Huh, but I still can’t understand why they would lock up a noble person in prison.”

“Didn’t the Archduke also not know the true identity of this place until I told him?”

“This is… … .”

“Dokho Sasuk probably knows that I’m going to say this. He just wants to tell me to be careful because he’s on guard. And he’ll deal with us based on how Sa Gongja treats the patient.”

“Are you saying that you’re going to treat the famous Cheongunsashin and Jeokryongdaehyeop in the martial arts world like this?”

“Isn’t that true, Your Highness?”

“Hmm, that’s true, but… … .”

“But… …who is that person?”

What Jang Ja-myeong was looking at was the Red Dragon Swordsman.

At that gaze, Jeokryongdaehyeop coughed in vain.

“Hmm!”

The way he slicked back his beard made him look like a real veteran.

But Jang Ja-myeong’s doubts did not subside.

If Cheongunsashin is fake, then how can Jeokryongdaehyeop be real?

“I’ve seen your face somewhere… … .”

“I’m leaving, Representative Jang.”

“Me?”

“I’m the escort. Haha.”

Imoo-myeong laughed awkwardly. But even his laughter sounded like the voice of a veteran.

Of course, because I acted so thoroughly, I couldn’t get rid of my unique smile that I had practiced even in private.

Jang Ja-myeong’s eyes lit up at the mention of the word ‘escort.’

“Didn’t this escort leave for the North Sea in a hurry to catch up with the Cheonri Pyo-guk’s upstream? If it was going to the North Sea, it would take at least a year.”

“I came back halfway due to some circumstances.”

“Then, brother, you haven’t met the Cheonri Pyogukju?”

Jang Ja-myeong changed his title in the middle.

Most of the people of Habukpengga were convinced that the ruler of Cheonri Pyoguk was Imoo-myeong’s older brother.

The problem was that the two of them had to talk to each other to find out if that was true. Until then, he was officially just the son of the Cheonri Pyoguk and the Ronin King, Lee Se-myeong.

Imoo-myeong laughed.

“I met my brother.”

“yes?”

“I met my brother and heard the whole story.”

“But you came back again?”

“I left the North Sea voyage to my subordinates and turned back because I had important business to attend to.”

“You mean the King of Ronin came back after entrusting you with that important mission? Wasn’t that mission requested by the palace?”

Jang Ja-myeong kept asking questions without stopping.

There was something he didn’t know.

Suspicion is not a trait unique to Dokho, the private tutor.

The disciples of Baekdumun had a common habit of always being suspicious.

The poison was a bit excessive, but the longevity was similar.

Imoo-myeong laughed lightly.

“Haha. Isn’t it more important than the palace’s request that you came back like this? Assemblyman Jang.”

“Can I ask you something more important?”

“That’s a secret.”

“Then where is the old Ronin King?”

“I can’t tell you that either.”

“Oh, not only do you resemble our Confucius in appearance, but now even your personality is identical to his. I feel a little sorry, Ho-wi.”

“I’m sorry, Rep. Jang.”

“I liked this old escort personality.”

“Well, nothing has changed. Time will tell.”

Peng Hyuk-bin joined their conversation.

“Rep. Jang, the situation with this escort is not important right now. Is my brother okay?”

“Don’t worry. No, we are not in a position to worry about the Four Princes.”

Jang Ja-myeong waved his hand.

His expression is sincere.

Jang Ja-myeong had never worried about his friend Han Bin.

Of course, it’s the same now. I’m just worried about the safety of the people around me and myself.

That was when.

There was a commotion outside.

The warriors guarding the pavilion began to whisper excitedly as they looked somewhere.

They were talking excitedly, but I couldn’t hear exactly what they were saying.

Peng Hyuk-bin hurriedly ran to the uncertain voice heard through the crack in the door.

Then he quickly pushed the door open.

Bam.

The door didn’t even budge.

Jang Ja-myeong said at that sight.

“Your Highness, didn’t I tell you that this is a prison? Don’t open it by force. You’ll be in big trouble if you do.”

“This is… … . Phew.”

Peng Heuk-bin sighed. He put his ear to the door as if he couldn’t give up.

It was to hear a little more about what was going on outside.

Only then did their voices begin to be heard.

-Oh, there you are.

-That’s right. Everyone was worried, so I’m glad you’re safe.

-Your Majesty, your worries have been relieved as well.

-That’s right. Now that the storm has passed, all that’s left is to open the Baekdokjihoe.

Peng Hyuk-bin closed his eyes and pricked up his ears.

He perked up his ears as if he were a rabbit and pictured what was happening outside.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what it meant.

That would be the case, Peng Hyeok-bin did not know the entire situation of Baekdokmun.

no way…….

Peng Hyuk-bin opened his eyes and looked at the doorknob.

I was wondering if I should just break this and leave.

As Peng Hyeok-bin hesitated with his hand on the doorknob, Jang Ja-myeong approached him.

“I think it would be better to look into the situation first, Your Highness.”

After finishing speaking, Jang Ja-myeong walked towards the wall, staggering.

He nonchalantly kicked away the folding table in the VIP room.

Behind the folding table, a small box appeared.

Jang Ja-myeong deftly removed the box from the wall.

In that moment, a large hole appeared behind him.

Jang Ja-myeong looked behind him and nodded.

At that sight, his younger sister, disguised as a Red Blood Tiger, approached the other side, walked over to the folding screen and took the box away, just like Jang Ja-myeong had done.

Sunlight coming through that hole.

Only then did Peng Hyeok-bin realize the situation.

“Excuse me, isn’t that a passage? Then can I just get out through there?”

“People can’t escape, but they can check the situation outside. And this isn’t made for people to escape, it’s a ventilation shaft to remove the poison.”

“omg.”

When Peng Hyuk-bin realized that he knew perfectly what this room was for, he groaned naturally.

The surprise was short-lived, and Peng Heuk-bin quickly approached the hole.

Just now, a cart loaded with luggage was passing in front of the pavilion.

The sight of the woman pulling the cart seemed somehow familiar.

Peng Hyuk-bin turned his head.

There, Jang Ja-myeong’s sister, disguised as a member of the Red Blood Tiger Squad, was checking the scene through the passage.

However, the woman walking in front of the cart, visible through the hole, was clearly Jang Ja-myeong’s sister-in-law.

I just heard the general situation from Hanbin, but I couldn’t believe it when I saw it in person.

I squinted my eyes to see the woman, and she didn’t look like she was disguised.

The warriors outside had no doubt that the woman was Jang Ja-myeong’s sister-in-law.

As he was observing the situation with a puzzled expression, Jang Ja-myeong’s sister, who was looking at the scene outside the passage, let out a scream.

“Uh, how did I get there… … .”

She collapsed without being able to finish her words.

At that moment, Jang Ja-myeong quickly ran over and supported her.

“Sister! Come to your senses.”

“… … .”

When she fainted, Jang Ja-myeong laid her down on the bed in the VIP room.

The VIP room was the size of a major Sega family home.

Jang Ja-myeong laid her down and stayed beside her without saying a word.

In fact, Jang Ja-myeong was in a state of shock.

Because the sister outside seemed more real than the sister lying in bed right now.

When Samae was found dying in a secret space, her bones were so close together that it would have been unrecognizable if she had not been Jang Ja-myeong.

Even though he has recovered a lot now, his appearance is not what it used to be.

From then on, Peng Hyuk-bin, Jang Ja-myeong, and the members of the Red Blood Tiger Corps looked at each other in silence.

Jang Ja-myeong was confused.

Which of the two sisters is the real one?

What’s happening in Baekdokmun?

Everything was questionable.

On the other hand, Peng Hyuk-bin was slightly angry.

As the grand prince of the Habuk Peng family, it was the first time I had received such treatment while traveling around the world.

There he is now disguised as the Envoy of Cheongun.

Cheongunsashin was a master whose rank was incomparably higher than that of the Grand Duke of Habukpengga.

Wasn’t he the benefactor who stopped the woman named Hyeol-hu who was outside?

And yet, this is how I’m treated!

After observing each other for a while in silence, they quietly looked at the door.

As if waiting for someone.

Because the only person who could bring the key to overcoming this situation was Hanbin.

* * *

How much time has passed?

The sun has already set.

I looked outside through a small hole to try to guess the time, but there was no moonlight, perhaps because of the gloomy weather.

Peng Hyuk-bin turned his head and quietly looked at the lamp.

The walls of the VIP room were lined with lanterns, as there was no light to enter except through small holes drilled into the outside.

I tried to guess the time by looking at the oil in the lamp, but the oil inside the lamp did not decrease at all.

How much time has passed?

Is your brother okay?

Peng Heuk-bin shook his head weakly. These were all problems he could not solve.

That was when.

The door opened quietly.

Swish.

The door opened and it was none other than Hanbin who came in.

Peng Hyuk-bin jumped up and ran to Han Bin.

“Hanbin, are you okay?”

“Yes, I am fine.”

“How was work?”

“Well, I guess time will tell.”

At that moment, an unfamiliar laughter was heard from behind Hanbin.

“Haha, nice to meet you.”

“… … .”

When Peng Hyuk-bin looked at him cautiously, he said.

“I am Baek Ju-cheon, the master of Baekdokmun.”

“Ah, you’ve written a hundred letters. Greetings. I am the envoy of Cheongun, accompanying the four princes of Ha, no, Habukpengga.”

“I have heard of your reputation.”

It was while we were exchanging formal greetings.

Footsteps echoed from a corner of the VIP room.

Ta-da-dak.

It was none other than Jang Ja-myeong’s younger sister.
