Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 731



Only Noblemtl

731. Temporary Escort (1)

Black Moon stopped as he ran towards the two monsters.

They were subordinates who had been looking after Heukwol for a long time.

They were the ones who took responsibility for everything from meals to laundry when they left the palace to train in the caves.

That wasn’t all.

They were trained to be able to perform a unique pass formation that allowed them to share their internal energy with the Black Moon.

In a way, these two monsters were like nannies in the palace.

But the Black Moon couldn’t reach them.

Because they are the ones sent by the dark lord to himself.

Through the conversation with Hyunbi, he realized clearly that the dark emperor was his enemy.

There was not a single lie in what Hyunbi said.

There was also one more surprising fact I learned through the conversation.

The person who contributed to eliminating the dark magic was Hanbin.

In that case, Hanbin would be his benefactor.

So are the two giant monsters enemies or allies?

Black Moon couldn’t make a decision easily.

At that moment, Hanbin approached Heukwol.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you make up your mind?”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m talking about these guys.”

Hanbin pointed to the two giants who had fallen to the ground.

Black Moon asked at that sight.

“Why the interest?”

“It seems like they’ve already decided who is an enemy and who is an ally… … . They look like they’re wondering if those sent by the Dark Emperor are enemies or allies.”

“Oh, no.”

“Let me say something.”

“… … .”

“They are in the same situation as you.”

“What does that mean?”

“The two giants were born in the mountains of Langya Mountain. And they were kidnapped by someone. Do you know who that someone is without me having to tell you?”

“That’s them?”

Black Moon opened his eyes wide.

Hanbin couldn’t help but be surprised that he knew about their births that he didn’t even know about.

Even though I was with them for a long time, I didn’t know about their origins.

Heukwol’s heart wavered at Hanbin’s words that he was in the same situation as her.

Heukwol grabbed Hanbin’s sleeve without realizing it.

“Please save these too.”

“I already saved them. Who do you think saved them from the collapsed passage?”

“No, their sins… … .”

“That was already agreed upon. If you are to punish them for their crimes, you will also have to be punished… … . Since the Queen Mother does not want that, the discussion is over.”

“ah.”

“And I didn’t do it for free, so don’t worry about it.”

“Oh, I see.”

Hanbin smiled as Heukwol nodded urgently.

***

A day later.

From the morning, the smell of roasted rabbit wafted across the mountainside.

This was a desperate measure to restore the stamina of the Red Blood Tigers led by Sim Mi-ho.

Sim Mi-ho and the Red Blood Tiger Squad succeeded in gathering all the valuables in the tomb of the Sword Master in just three days.

At their appearance, the warriors of the Gosanpa and the Geumuiwi also opened their mouths in amazement.

Only Kang Yu-chan was not surprised by their appearance.

Kang Yu-chan had helped them at Sacheondangga.

Under the pretext of constructing a surrounding waterway, they borrowed the power of the government to create a place for the Red Blood Tiger Corps to open a passage.

It was surprising even at that time.

But now, he has grown one step further than before.

Kang Yu-chan smacked his lips without realizing it.

It seemed like there was nothing they couldn’t do if they were invited to the palace.

In Kang Yu-chan’s view, each and every member of the Red Blood Tiger Squad was a talented person.

Among them, Sim Mi-ho had the skills to the point where he would not mind being given the position of general.

Kang Yu-chan, whose lips were quivering, came next to Han-bin.

Hanbin tilted his head after seeing Kang Yuchan, then picked up a skewer of grilled rabbit.

“Are you hungry, sir?”

“That’s not it, Prince Peng.”

“Then why are you looking at me like that?”

“Are you talking about the Red Blood Tigers?”

“Please speak.”

“Can you lend me them later?”

“You want to borrow the Red Blood Tigers?”

“I said it because I thought it would be useful in times of national emergency.”

“Are you planning to use it for canal construction?”

“That’s not it. It’s because I feel sorry for their abilities.”

“Well, if that’s the case, don’t worry. If you call me, I’ll run with them.”

“Thank you.”

Kang Yu-chan grabbed Han Bin’s hand.

At that moment, Hanbin pulled his hand away and passed the skewer into Kang Yuchan’s hand.

Kang Yu-chan, who suddenly grabbed the skewer, tilted his head and took a bite of the roasted rabbit.

At that moment, Kang Yu-chan’s eyes widened.

He put another bite of roast rabbit into his mouth.

Kang Yu-chan, who had finished roasting rabbit in an instant, closed his mouth and closed his eyes.

After mumbling for a while, he opened his eyes and continued speaking.

“Not only your martial arts skills, but your cooking skills have also improved.”

“Isn’t it true that in a place like Gangho, your skills grow as much as the scars on your body?”

It was a given.

There is a proverb that says, “The scars on the body are the age of the warriors.”

As you get older, your scars will increase just like the number of rings on your body.

Kang Yu-chan, who was having a conversation, tilted his head.

“Now that I think about it… … .”

Because her face looked clearer than before.

I can’t say for sure, but I felt a sense of auspiciousness towards Hanbin.

At first I thought it was a mistake, but when I saw his face, it didn’t seem like it was.

Kang Yu-chan quickly continued speaking.

“What happened?”

“Do you want to know? Sir.”

Hanbin asked with a meaningful expression.

In fact, Hanbin did not reveal everything that happened below.

Others only knew that there was a trap inside and that they had barely managed to escape it.

Kang Yu-chan said to Han-bin’s serious expression.

“If it’s something that needs to be kept secret, I won’t listen at all.”

“It’s not necessarily a secret.”

“Then tell me.”

“Maybe the water was good, sir.”

“You said the water was good? Can I wash my face in that water?”

“I will tell Lieutenant Shim.”

“Thank you. I feel like I’ve aged ten years these days.”

“It looks that way to me too.”

Hanbin smiled while looking at Kang Yuchan.

In fact, Kang Yu-chan’s complexion was not good.

Even his skin was so flabby that it was hard to believe he was the head of a royal guard.

Hanbin decided to keep the arrangements for the inspection a secret for the time being.

The reason was simple.

If rumors spread that there was such an arrangement there, the person who received the arrangement for the sword will be revealed to the world.

Then, flies will be swarming everywhere.

Hanbin had to keep the arrangement a secret, if only to prevent that.

Of course, Heukwol also decided to keep his mouth shut until the end.

He had promised that there would be no further treatment as soon as he opened his mouth, so he was going to keep his promise.

That wasn’t the only problem.

If the arrangement of the sword is related to the previous emperor, then the ownership of the treasure being excavated now will be transferred to the imperial family.

You risk your life to save someone, but in return you lose your treasure?

That was not the way of the martial arts world!

At that moment, Black Moon came over and held out his hand.

At that sight, Hanbin handed over the skewers with both hands.

“Princess, please eat.”

“oh.”

Black Moon, who was about to bite the skewer, coughed in vain.

Hanbin quickly reached out his hand to grab Heukwol, who was so flustered that he dropped the skewer.

Hanbin sighed as he caught the fallen skewer.

“Phew, what a shame… … .”

“Give it to me.”

“It is difficult in the world of martial arts to get back what has been taken away. But it is possible in the palace, Princess.”

Hanbin smiled brightly after saying something meaningful.

Black Moon had to return to the palace and wait for the Emperor’s orders.

Anyway, I returned to my status as a princess again.

The parties involved, Hyeonbi and Hyomyeong, covered up all the crimes.

From now on, Heukwol had to use the name Jinmyeong, which was used in the palace.

So it was natural for Hanbin to raise his voice.

But Black Moon had an awkward expression on his face, as if he wasn’t adjusting well.

“Stop teasing me.”

“I’m not kidding.”

Hanbin smiled and waved his hand.

At that time, Hyomyeong sat down next to Hanbin.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he reached out his small hand.

“Your Majesty, please give me some too.”

“Hmm, would you like some too, Princess Mama? It might not suit your taste… … .”

“No. If Prince Peng can eat it, I can eat it too. Oh, please give me one more.”

“One more?”

When Hanbin tilted his head, Hyomyeong winked.

“I’ll give you that too.”

“Huh. Mama Hyunbi said this… … .”

Hanbin took a deep breath with a bewildered expression.

Hyomyeong returned to his seat, whistling, holding two skewers in his hand.

I followed Hyomyeong and got another skewer from Heukwoldo.

Kang Yu-chan greeted him with his eyes and followed Heuk-wol with a skewer in his hand.

Hanbin nodded and winked at him.

In fact, Hanbin decided not to enter the palace after seeing Kang Yuchan like this.

No matter how high you climb in the palace, you can never stand above the royal family.

It would be nice to enjoy a leisurely life in the world of martial arts, but it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to live in the palace like Kang Yu-chan.

For a moment, Hanbin snickered.

It was because he thought that he was the only one who looked at the head of the world’s highest guard with such pitiful eyes.

At that time, the Red Blood Tiger Squad members began to come in one by one to eat breakfast.

Starting with Sim Mi-ho, everyone, including Jo Ho and Jang Sam, started eating the skewers with fire in their eyes.

“Wow, as expected, the master’s skills are… … .”

“I love you, my lord.”

All the members picked up the skewers as if they were hiding their eyes from the wind.

Thanks to that, the skewers disappeared in an instant.

That was when the meal ended.

I felt something from afar.

When I turned my head, I saw Hyun-bi and Kang Yu-chan walking towards Han-bin.

Next to him, Kang Yu-chan was nodding his head.

At Kang Yu-chan’s serious expression, Han-bin instinctively turned up his hearing as much as possible.

Kang Yu-chan, who was next to me, whispered with a serious expression.

“Mom, I think you should think about it again.”

“No. I really want to ask Prince Peng.”

“Something might happen that I can’t handle, Mom.”

“I’ll take responsibility for that. It was Prince Peng who solved this problem.”

“If His Majesty the Emperor knows… … .”

“I think you’ll agree.”

Hyunbi smiled brightly.

Kang Yu-chan’s expression looked very serious.

***

That afternoon.

Hanbin was escorting a carriage with the Red Blood Tigers.

The carriage was carrying Hyeonbi and her party.

Why are the Red Blood Tigers and Hanbin escorting them?

It was none other than Queen Hyun’s request.

Hanbin was to escort Queen Hyeonbi and her party to the lantern festival at Bulguksa Temple.

The reason was simple.

This time, I trusted and entrusted it to Hanbin, who saved Hyo-myeong.

Kang Yu-chan was taken aback by Queen Hyeon’s decision to entrust Han Bin with the escort.

Hanbin agreed with one condition.

It was all about disguising yourself as a merchant.

This time it was the Black Moon, but I didn’t know what kind of danger might be lurking there.

This is what I felt when I met Heukwol this time, but unimaginable things can happen in the world of martial arts.

In fact, if it weren’t for Heukwol Island and Hanbin, it would have been difficult to handle.

Although the medicine helped, it was the best in the world at the time.

What if that character reappears in the middle?

At that time, I could not take responsibility for safety.

The best thing was not to be targeted.

The second way is to only show up when you can afford it.

That is, if you disguise yourself as a merchant, a suitable enemy will appear.

I’m talking about bandits, thieves, or just passing vagrants.

At that moment, Sim Mi-ho’s voice was heard from the front.

“Everyone stop.”
