Episode 766. Roots (1)

The King of the South Sea wiggled his eyebrows at Hanbin’s words.

The statement that Hwangchil’s relatives were in danger contained many implications.

There was only one reason why he did not show up in the world of martial arts.

It was for the peace of the royal family and the people.

There were many things that could be done in the shadows rather than out in the open.

The King of the South Sea, who had been wiggling his eyebrows, opened his mouth.

“but!”

“… … .”

Hanbin looked into his eyes quietly.

His eyes were like those of a wild beast.

What on earth is he trying to say?

Hanbin said carefully.

“Do you find my words unbelievable? I am the one who saved Wangya.”

“That’s not it. If it was to my level, wouldn’t it be the same for you? I don’t know who to trust in this situation. Isn’t it possible that my foolish actions could hurt the people and the royal family?”

His eyes, which had been like those of a beast, softened.

Hanbin understood his feelings well.

Because I didn’t know who to trust when I was betrayed in my past life!

If he were in Namhaecheonwang’s position now, he would have no choice but to be suspicious of even his own forces.

That was when.

Laughter was heard from afar.

“Heh heh.”

Hanbin turned his head at the sudden laughter.

Not only Hanbin, but everyone turned their gaze to where the laughter was coming from.

There, an old man with gray hair was walking slowly.

The hood on his head seemed to indicate that he was a scholar.

The old man in scholarly attire walked slowly, oblivious to everyone’s gaze.

Although his classmates were guarding the King of the South Sea twenty paces away, they were unable to stop the old man.

To be exact, it wasn’t blocked.

What the old man exuded was not momentum, but grace.

If you had seen the teeth of a beast in the fight between Hanbin and the King of the Southern Sea, the old man had the dignity of a single bamboo stalk.

He didn’t see any of his classmates alive.

He just quietly looked at Hanbin with a faint smile.

As the old man slowly walked towards him, Hanbin threw a lottery ticket at him.

“Hello, Mr. Pajuk. I hope you have been well.”

At Hanbin’s words, the eyes of the Heavenly King of the South Sea and Red Ghost widened.

The fellow warriors also began to gossip as they looked at the old man.

“If it’s Mr. Pajuk… … .”

“Yes, isn’t it Master Gongsun Xiu, the Emperor’s teacher and the greatest scholar of his time?”

“Yes, he is the only one who can use the name Pajuk.”

The fellow warriors looked at the old man without blinking.

As Hanbin said, he was a very polite and polite person.

The greatest scholar of his time and the emperor’s teacher.

Of course, there was one secret he had that only Hanbin knew.

It was said that he was the master of public inquiry.

However, in the eyes of his fellow warriors, Gongsonsu was a great scholar.

Why else would he be nicknamed Pajuk (破竹), meaning broken bamboo?

It was because of his character that would not bend even if he was broken.

In that respect, he was a man who enjoyed the respect of officials, regardless of their rank.

Hanbin was also surprised by his appearance.

He had developed a relationship with them while rescuing his grandson, Gongsun Myeong-hu, in Jangunhyeon.

Although I occasionally exchanged letters with them, it had been a long time since I had seen them in person.

Pajuk Gongsonsu smiled faintly at Hanbin’s greeting.

“Haha. I’ve been doing well thanks to you. As expected, you were here.”

“Are you looking for me?”

When Hanbin tilted his head, Gongsonsu answered with a hollow smile.

“You know me well. I’ve been looking for you for quite some time. Now that I think about it, the person I’m looking for is all gathered here.”

Gongsonsu looked quietly at the King of the South Sea.

At that moment, the King of the Southern Sea swung his fist at Gongsun Su.

“Greetings. I am… … .”

“There is no need to introduce yourself, Wang Ya. I have always admired your character.”

“But from what you just said, I understand that Mr. Pajuk was looking for me.”

When the Heavenly King of the South Sea looked at him with a smile, Gongsun Su answered.

“That’s right. There are two reasons why I came to see Prince Peng and Wang Ye.”

“Two things?”

“The first is because I discovered a secret letter.”

“If it’s a secret letter… … .”

“Just take a look.”

Gongsun Su handed over a letter.

The King of the South Sea, who received the letter, quickly examined its contents.

The King of the South Sea opened his eyes wide after seeing the contents.

If I opened my eyes just a little wider, they looked like they would pop out.

The secret letter was written about none other than the method used by the King of the Southern Sea.

What was even more surprising was the plan behind it.

According to the secret letter, it was written that on the last day of the lantern festival, the entire Bulguksa Temple would be blown up.

Gongsonsu asked.

“I was worried about what would happen if Wangya’s mind hadn’t returned, but fortunately, it’s not like that. But this is the part I don’t understand. How can you blow up the entire Bulkwangsa Temple? No matter how much I think about it, this part feels like a secret.”

“It’s not a secret, it’s actually possible.”

The King of the South Sea smiled bitterly.

Gongsonsu asked with that smile.

“Are you sure that’s possible?”

“Yes, that’s right. But how did you get this secret letter?”

The King of the South Sea looked at Gongsunsu.

There was no doubt about the authenticity of the secret letter.

There was not a single particle of falsehood in the contents of the secret letter.

The only question was how Gongsun Xiu, the greatest scholar in the Central Plains, obtained this letter.

There was absolutely no chance that a scholar who only read books would obtain such confidential documents.

Of course, the person who knew best about that was Hanbin.

Hanbin knew another face of Gongsonsu.

Perhaps he couldn’t honestly say that he stole it.

While everyone was tilting their heads, Gongsonsu opened his mouth with a faint smile.

“There is no place in the Central Plains where I do not have a disciple.”

In some ways, it was an excessive confidence, but no one could deny it.

The expression on the King of the Southern Sea became urgent at the appearance of Gongsonsu.

Judging from the contents of the secret letter, the imperial family and the martial arts world were in danger.

The King of the South Sea rose from his seat.

“Everyone, follow me!”

Hanbin waved his hand at the urgent cry of the King of the Southern Sea.

“Please wait a moment, Your Majesty.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Do you want to save people? Or do you want to save the royal family and the martial arts world?”

“… … .”

The King of the South Sea frowned.

It was because I didn’t understand what Hanbin was saying.

The red ghost next to him also tilted his head.

At that moment, Gongsun Su looked at the Heavenly King of the South Sea and opened his mouth.

“Do you not understand what I am saying?”

“Wouldn’t saving people be saving the royal family and the martial arts world? Rather than talking about such empty talk, I should go to Bulgwangsa Temple.”

When the King of the South Sea pointed to Bulgwangsa Temple in the distance, Gongsonsu continued speaking.

“If you step forward and save people this time, something similar will happen again later.”

“What do you mean, Mr. Pajuk?”

“Shouldn’t we use this incident as an opportunity to root it out? That is what is best for the royal family and the people.”

“What the heck is that… … .”

“I agree with Peng Gongzi’s opinion.”

“What should I do, sir?”

As the gaze of the Heavenly King of the South Sea deepened, Gongsun Su turned his head.

“I would like to hear Prince Peng’s opinion.”

“We have fishing rods and bait now. Is there any need to leave the fishing spot?”

When Hanbin pretended to fish, Gongsonsu tilted his head.

“So what’s your first plan?”

“This is it!”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin snapped his fingers.

Exactly!

In that moment, the warriors of my classmates who were far away fell one by one.

dump.

The warriors of Dongchang fell in a row like corn stalks snapped by a typhoon. The King of the South Sea shouted in surprise when he saw them.

“What are you doing?”

“This is my first plan.”

Hanbin pointed to the fallen soldiers of his classmate.

At their end were Seolhwa and Cheonghwa.

No matter how skilled he was, he couldn’t neutralize his classmates like this.

Because of this, even the King of the South Sea did not know about the current method.

Of course, I was just dumbfounded when I was in that situation.

In fact, the current method was possible because of Cheonghwa.

Seolhwa and Cheonghwa walked among the fellow warriors, performing the eighteen steps of begging.

The first was when Cheonghwa paralyzed the opponent with a fine poison, and the last was when Seolhwa stabbed him in the back.

Being able to handle poison in such a subtle way also meant that Cheonghwa’s poison control system had been perfected.

For that reason, Hanbin couldn’t help but smile.

On the contrary, the King of the South Sea wiggled his eyebrows when he saw that smile.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“Wang Ya’s addiction to loneliness is the work of his closest aides.”

“hmm.”

“Like the masters of my classmates who are here now.”

“But is there really a need to subdue everyone?”

“It’s not too late to reveal who the henchmen are after the plan is finished. The most important thing is that this plan doesn’t leak out. First, let’s… … .”

Hanbin laid out his plans.

The plan was very simple.

First, they were to be locked in the palace prison, and then secretly infiltrate Bulgwangsa Temple to catch the spies who were trying to harm the royal family and the martial arts people.

Keeping this plan secret was essential.

The King of the South Sea also nodded.

I agreed with Hanbin’s opinion that it would be better for the future to weed out traitors right before disaster strikes rather than going there right away to prevent it.

The masters of the class who had been absent-minded until just a moment ago were dragged to the prison without any strength.

Now, only Hanbin and his group were left holding their positions.

Hanbin looked at Gongsonsu.

“But what is the second reason you came to me?”

“That’s exactly what I was trying to convey.”

Gongsonsu handed Hanbin a letter.

And yet, he didn’t forget the secret signal.

It was meant to be seen by only one person.

Hanbin quietly opened the letter.

The letter was a map.

It was like Jang Bo-do, a place where treasures are often hidden.

What the map points to is none other than the North Sea.

Isn’t it true that we will have to go to the North Sea sooner or later anyway?

The problem was that the Jangbodo was half-baked.

On this kind of road, you couldn’t even find the road, let alone the treasure.

Hanbin glanced at Gongsonsu.

Gongsonsu gestured again.

The other half was meant to be found on your own.

That was when.

Hanbin felt something behind him and turned his head.

There, the Heavenly King of the South Sea was smiling.

It seemed like he had seen the Jang Bo-do that Han Bin was looking at.

The King of the South Sea said with a serious face.

“Don’t you need that half?”

“Half?”

“I guess I have that half.”

“Your Majesty… … .”

“If this ends safely, I’ll give you half of the Jangbodo. But this has to end safely.”

“Even if that condition doesn’t exist, I will finish this job perfectly.”

Hanbin laughed.

After that, the drinking party continued as if nothing had happened.

Everything went according to Hanbin’s plan.

There were still three days left until the last day of the Lantern Festival, the day the enemies planned to blow up Bulguksa Temple.

In the meantime, I decided to act as if nothing had happened.

Thanks to that, they had time to greet each other and share a drink.

As the announcement was made along with the glasses, everyone looked at each other and tilted their heads.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was not meant to be like this.
