Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 656
Only Noblemtl
656. Flowers blooming on the seagull (2)
In a critical situation, Akbi-kwang stuck his spear into the ground and took a step back.
It seems that even the warriors of the Guangdong Jin family do not rush in rashly.
The two just looked at each other from about five steps away.
It felt as if time had stopped.
What made me realize the passage of time was the murmur of the onlookers.
The mouths of the onlookers moved without stopping.
“The mad dog of Shandong is going to back down like this?”
“I’ve never heard of a case like this. A mad dog from Shandong wouldn’t do something like that.”
‘The Mad Dog of Shandong’ was Akbi Guang’s nickname.
It was because of the habit of blindly attacking others.
This personality trait has diminished a lot since meeting Hanbin, but his true nature has not gone anywhere.
But when Akbigwang stuck his spear in and retreated, the onlookers didn’t understand.
One of the onlookers narrowed his eyes and pointed at Akbigwang.
“Look at that carefully.”
“What are you looking at? Aren’t we just having a staring contest?”
“If you look at that pose, isn’t it like they’re trying to fight using martial arts?”
“Ah, I see. Judging from the fact that you discarded the weapon, it seems like you intended to change it to a martial art. But why all of a sudden… … .”
“Isn’t that obvious? If something happens here, won’t you be kicked out immediately?”
“I see. So you’re saying that we should put down our weapons and fight before we get embarrassed by those shamans and Taoists?”
They finally came to a conclusion.
The onlookers’ conclusion was reasonable.
Mt. Wudang is a holy place of Taoism.
But what if you see blood here?
It was clear that the non-partisan faction, the actual organizers of this heroic event, would be kicked out.
They watched the situation again, swallowing dry saliva.
For a moment, nothing happened, and the onlookers moved their lips again.
“But why are you just sitting there?”
“That’s right.”
“They say there’s nothing to eat at the famous banquet… … It can’t end so trivially, right?”
Some people raised their voices as if to provoke Akbigwang and Gwangdongjinga Musa.
The warrior of the Guangdong Jin family responded to their words.
His face turned red and blue as if he had been insulted by the onlookers, and he threw his sword to the floor.
Sigh.
The thrown sword was half embedded in the ground.
He stuck his sword into the floor and clenched his fist.
A warrior of the Guangdong Jin family with his fists extended forward.
But Akbigwang just folded his arms as if nothing had happened.
The warrior of the Guangdong Jin family asked at that sight.
“What are you doing now? If you want to see the end, come in quickly.”
“What does that mean?”
“If you start a fight, you should finish it! Why are you taking so long?”
“What do you mean by a quarrel? Who? Me?”
Akbi-kwang, who kept asking questions, proudly opened his chest.
The expression on the face of the Guangdong Jin family warrior crumpled at the sudden situation.
“Are you trying to insult me? What if you swing your spear first and pretend not to notice? Everyone here saw it with their own eyes.”
The warrior of the Guangdong Jin family turned his head and looked at the onlookers.
The onlookers responded to the voice of the Guangdong Jinga warrior.
“The author is right. The one who started the fight first is crazy… … No, isn’t that a madman?”
“Right. But what are you talking about now?”
“Surely crazy… … .”
They interrupted hastily.
Because the onlookers’ voices gave Akbigwang a sinister impression.
Akbi-kwang, who had been glaring at the onlookers, continued speaking.
“Why did you try to hurt my brother?”
Everyone tilted their heads at the sudden words.
Not only the onlookers, but also the warriors of the Guangdong Jin family narrowed their eyebrows in bewilderment.
“What do you mean? You’re suddenly my brother?”
“Isn’t that a secret weapon in that box?”
Akbigwang pointed to the waist of the Gwangdongjinga warrior.
There was a wooden box the size of a palm.
The warrior of the Guangdong Jin family quickly grabbed the wooden box and hid it behind him.
At that sight, Akbigwang spoke again.
“Look, no matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.”
“What does this mean?”
“You were watching our brother while hiding your secret.”
“for a moment!”
The warrior of the Guangdong Jin family held out his palm as if he was going to shoot a strong wind.
“Did you find any excuses?”
“You are the one who should be explaining, not making excuses. As far as I know, you are the Grand Duke of Akga. Where is your brother?”
“My brother-in-law is behind me.”
Akbigwang raised his thumb and pointed behind him.
Everyone’s eyes were focused to the back.
There was a procession of Habukpengga there.
The person in the direction that the onlookers and the warriors of the Guangdong Jin family were looking was Peng Hebin.
Peng Hyuk-bin made an embarrassed expression at the sudden gaze.
Then Akbigwang shouted.
“Not over there, over there! The man in the red uniform over there is my brother-in-law!”
“If it’s a red uniform… … .”
“Oh, you knew that. Weren’t you holding a secret weapon and glaring at my brother?”
“T-That’s a misunderstanding. What’s in this box isn’t a secret weapon.”
“It’s definitely a secret weapon, judging by the strong smell of iron.”
“I said no!”
“Then what? Wouldn’t it be quicker to show it to prove it?”
“That, that won’t do. This is something that needs to be passed on closely to the Four Princes of the Habuk Pengga.”
“Closely… … .”
This time, Akbigwang tilted his head.
After a moment, Hanbin shouted from behind.
“Oh, dear, please make way for me!”
“Is that really okay?”
“That’s all I have to do.”
“Okay, brother.”
Akbi-kwang pulled out the spear stuck in the ground and held it in his hand.
At the sight of the evil spirit without any hostility, the Gwangdongjinga warrior sheathed his sword.
The situation that seemed to be on the brink of collapse was suddenly resolved.
The warrior of the Guangdong Jin family cautiously approached where Hanbin was.
The onlookers started to murmur at the sudden situation.
“What the hell is going on right now?”
“That’s right. The person over there is the fourth son of the Habuk Peng family, right? It’s my first time hearing of the fourth son of the Habuk Peng family… … .”
“Haha, you really are from Gangnam.”
“What is that sound of knocking on the door while I’m sleeping? If I’m not from Gangnam, then where am I from?”
“You are saying this because you do not know the four Confuciuses of Habukpengga.”
“Should I know? I know the Grand Duke over there. In Habukpengga, the people who should know are the head of the household and the Grand Duke over there, right?”
As the onlooker tilted his head, the other person snickered and continued speaking.
“Have you heard of the Blue Cloud Envoy and the Red Dragon?”
“If you don’t know that, you’re a spy.”
“That’s what I mean. The four lords of Habukpengga over there are the two common ancestors.”
“Huh, is that true?”
Their conversation began to stir the onlookers.
Some of the onlookers began to reveal what they knew about Hanbin, the son of the Habuk Peng family.
To most others, it was an unbelievable story.
But it was enough of a topic to pique curiosity.
Their gazes were soon fixed on Hanbin.
Finally, the warrior of the Guangdong Jin family stood in front of Hanbin.
Even in the tumultuous atmosphere, Hanbin greeted the other person calmly.
“My name is Peng Hanbin, the fourth son of the Peng family.”
“My name is Jindugae and I am from Guangdong.”
“Aren’t you the grand duke of the Guangdong Jin family, famous for their recommended methods in the Guangdong region? I’ve heard of Jin So-hyeop’s reputation.”
“Thank you for your attention.”
“I heard you were looking for me earlier?”
“Yes, that’s right. Actually, I wanted to tell you this.”
Jindugae opened the wooden box he had hidden behind his back.
Hanbin tilted his head when he saw the box.
The box smelled like iron, just as Akbigwang had said.
In addition, a luxurious fragrance emanated from it.
What was clearly inside the box were iron bars and a sachet.
Jindugae said after seeing Hanbin’s expression.
“Judging by your expression, I think you know what’s in the box.”
“It’s probably a dagger… … .”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“It’s nothing special, I just knew it by the smell.”
“I have a good sense of smell myself, but you are truly amazing.”
After finishing speaking, Jindugae grabbed the lid of the box.
At that moment, Peng Hyuk-bin, who was standing next to him, grabbed the sword he was carrying on his back.
Jindugae’s hand stopped as he was about to open the lid.
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
The one who broke the silence was Peng Hyuk-bin.
“If it’s a dagger, it’s clear that there are impertinent intentions.”
“Brother, calm down. If you had any disrespectful intentions, would you have put the dagger away? You would have used a more subtle method.”
“hmm.”
Peng Hyuk-bin coughed in vain and glared at Jin Du-gae.
Hanbin took a step forward and said.
“Please show me first.”
“then…….”
Jindugae opened the lid with an apologetic expression.
Inside was a dagger, just as Hanbin had guessed.
The two daggers in the box were quite ornate.
The silver scabbard was engraved with a circular pattern, and the handle had a blue knot and a red knot respectively.
Peng Hyeok-bin tilted his head after seeing the two daggers.
“Isn’t this the Mandarin Duck Sword?”
“It’s a custom in our Guangdong region.”
“Why are you doing this to my younger brother… … .”
Peng Hyuk-bin was quite embarrassed.
I was nervous because they asked me to give it to them, but what was inside the box was a mandarin duck sword, a gift used in marriage proposals in the Guangdong region.
Jin Du-gae continued speaking after seeing Peng Hyeok-bin’s expression.
“Of course it’s because of the marriage proposal. In our Guangdong region, when we propose a marriage, we tell it to the person himself, not his family.”
“We know that too. But why?”
“… … .”
Jindugae didn’t answer.
Instead, he quickly handed the Wonang Sword over to Hanbin.
At that sight, Peng Hyuk-bin looked at Jin Du-gae with an awkward smile.
As he said, the Mandarin Duck Sword was a custom of the Guangdong region.
When making a marriage proposal, make two mandarin duck swords and give them to the other person.
When the other person accepts the marriage proposal, you should return the dagger with the red incense pouch to him.
That is a sign of intent to accept the marriage proposal.
If you don’t accept the marriage proposal, just keep the Mandarin Duck Sword.
There is no set time frame.
This was a method that did not put a burden on either the one making the marriage proposal or the one receiving it.
While Peng Heuk-bin was watching, Han-bin received the box containing the Mandarin Duck Sword.
Then he answered Jindugae.
“Can I take my time answering your question?”
“Of course.”
Jindugae nodded.
Jindugae, who had finished all his business, looked around.
Actually, I was trying to pass it on secretly, but because of someone, it got everyone’s attention.
The more secret the marriage talks are, the better, but everything ended up in vain.
Jindugae, who had been looking around, tilted his head.
Strangely enough, the voices of the onlookers were not heard.
What on earth happened?
It was Hanbin who solved that question.
“No one will know what was being discussed just now. The more secretly these marriage talks are conducted, the less likely they are to leave any scars on either party.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Jindugae looked at Hanbin while holding a lottery ticket.
Hanbin had already put the box in his arms.
And then they faced each other as if nothing had happened.
I did my best to answer politely.
A hint of disappointment crossed Jindugae’s lips.
I read Hanbin’s words just now as a rejection.
There, he went to great lengths to save face for the Guangdong Jin family.
Jindugae turned his head and looked at Akbigwang.
Who would have thought that there would be such a kind-hearted brother-in-law by the side of Akbi Guang, who is called the mad dog of Shandong!
In fact, it was Jindugae’s younger brother who proposed marriage because he was angry.
Jindugae had been against this marriage proposal until just a moment ago.
But after confirming Hanbin’s true nature, my mind changed.
Jindugae, with a meaningful expression on his face, quietly returned to his seat.
As he walked away, Peng Heuk-bin asked.
“How far did your plan go?”
