Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 79



Only Noblemtl

Episode 79. Hot Toran (1)

What was strange was that instead of white paper, it was paper with letters written densely on it.

Cheolno unfolded the paper without a care and poured the ink he had ground in advance into the bottle onto the inkstone.

When everything was over, Cheol-no handed the brush to Han-bin for the last time.

Seolhwa continued to stuff dumplings into her mouth as if what Cheolno had prepared had nothing to do with her.

Seolhwa, who had been eating for a long time, spoke to Cheolno in a voice that was choked up.

“Oh, sir, can I have some water?”

At that moment, Hanbin quickly intervened.

“Let’s sign first and then eat.”

“What signature?”

“You promised, you would follow me for three years.”

“Well… … .”

Seolhwa trailed off. This was the promise between Heukcheon and Hanbin.

It was right that I had to follow it unconditionally.

But, strangely enough, it sent shivers down my spine.

This was the survival instinct of a killer.

My survival instinct was screaming at me to get out of here.

At that time, Cheolno spoke with a kind face.

“Don’t worry, just sign here. Don’t you trust me, Seolhwa?”

Cheolno hit his chest with a kind face.

In Hyeonhwa’s eyes, Cheolno was a servant who knew nothing about martial arts and followed Hanbin without thinking.

Seolhwa picked up the brush without realizing it.

But strangely, the goosebumps got even worse.

Seolhwa looked at Cheolno again.

Although it was a flaw that he looked a little stupid, it was not a face that would fool people.

Seolhwa was about to sign the contract without any doubts, but then she read the contents.

Seolhwa, who had been reading for a long time, opened her eyes wide.

“What is it?”

“This is a contract that all the Cheonsujang family members use, so why is it like this?”

As Cheolno tilted his head, Seolhwa snorted and looked at Hanbin.

“This is a body waiver form used by loan sharks. And what is this? This is a slave contract.”

“If you don’t want to sign, you can go home. I won’t stop you.”

Hanbin picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth, and leaned back in his chair.

He had an expression on his face as if he didn’t care at all.

Seolhwa realized that this situation was a one-sided battle.

She quickly turned her head and looked at Cheolno.

Cheolno still nods his head with a kind face.

Come to think of it, Hanbin and Cheolno were both in the same boat.

Seolhwa sighed and picked up her brush.

“phew.”

Sasak.

After the signing, Cheolno said.

“This is a good deal. I guarantee it.”

“Are these good conditions?”

When Seol-hwa asked in a trembling voice, Cheol-no smiled brightly and nodded.

Seolhwa looked up at the heavenly ceiling.

How on earth are the people who belong here being treated?

And what on earth is the identity of this place?

* * *

The day after Seolhwa entered Cheonsujang, Habukpengga.

Peng Dae-wi sighed as he looked at the pile of documents in front of him.

“phew.”

When he looked at the documents, the world seemed to spin around and he lost his appetite.

However, he could not neglect this document, even for the sake of his older brother, Peng Gang-wi, who was in prison.

He longed for such a peaceful Habukpangga. If something happened, he could escape from this pile of documents.

You can focus on more important matters and leave the less important documents to the director.

It was when he was sighing repeatedly.

The door to the Gajujeon opened.

Rattling.

A security guard running hurriedly.

Ta-da-dak.

Before the lingering sound of footsteps had even faded, Musa continued speaking.

“We’re in big trouble, Your Majesty.”

At those words, Paeng Daewi’s face lit up.

The long-awaited incident had finally occurred.

Now it was time to put the paperwork aside and dance the sword dance.

Peng Dae-wi asked.

“What happened?”

“That’s it, a secret letter has arrived from Hanamjeongga.”

“A secret letter? A warrior from your side?”

As Peng Daewi’s eyes were shining, someone limped from behind, supported by a warrior from the law enforcement agency.

Peng Dae-wi narrowed his eyes.

Judging from his attire, he was definitely a warrior from Hanamjeongga.

The unmanned Hanam Jeongga, who had approached limpingly, stopped in front of Pengdaewi.

“Great Hyeop, I have brought you a letter from the Master.”

The warrior of Hanamjeongga took out a letter from his bosom.

His hands were covered in blood as he handed over the letter.

The blood flowing from his chest dripped down onto the floor, as if the uniform could not hold it.

Hanam Jeongga Musa was in a state where it would not have been strange if he had collapsed right away. However, he tried to get closer to Peng Daewi as much as possible while being supported by the Jubapdang Musa.

Peng Daewi snatched the blood-stained letter.

Whoosh!

He handed the letter to the governor next to him.

At the same time, Peng Dae-wi shouted.

“Have Hanamjeongga’s warriors treated. And everyone else, get out!”

“Your name!”

At the command of the commander, the law enforcement officers rushed out.

It was reported that this letter was a secret letter.

Moreover, the condition of the warrior who brought this secret letter was critical.

General Lee Seol-yeong, who had accepted it, began to read the letter as the warriors left.

“Dear Lord Habukpangga, I have a favor to ask… … .”

Peng Dae-wi frowned as he listened to the contents of the letter.

The content was more serious than expected.

It was said that the illness of Hanam Jeongga’s head, Jeong Mu-ryong, was serious.

Although they were from the same family, the head of the Hanam Jeong family, Jeong Mu-ryong, was the father-in-law of the head of the Habuk Peng family, Peng Gang-wi.

He said that in the current state, it would be difficult to last more than two months.

The person who sent this letter was Jeong In-ji, the grand prince of Hanam Jeongga.

Jeong In-ji was the older brother of Lady Jeong Hwa and was expected to inherit the Hanam Jeong family in the future.

What Hanam Jeongga wants is the Cheongmyeonghwan (晴明丸) that Madam Jeonghwa brought as a gift.

Cheongmyeong-hwan is a divine elixir of the Kunlun School and is considered to be an excellent elixir comparable to the Daehwan-dan of Shaolin.

The Qingminghuan was a treasure received due to the strong relationship between the Kunlun School and the Hanam Jeongga.

It is said that the Qingminghuan has now been discontinued and that only three remain in Kunlun.

This medicine was said to be a legendary elixir that would bring even the dead back to life if given for just a moment.

It is impolite to ask for the return of the Qingminghuan that was sent as a gift.

However, it was a matter of life and death for the head of the Hanam Jeongga family.

Peng Dae-wi sat down with a thud.

He was the type of person who would push through whatever he thought was right, but this time the timing was strange.

As the position of the second sister-in-law, Madam Jeong-hwa, was declining, even the business trips she hosted were constantly being plundered.

But is the head of Hanam Jeongga also in critical condition?

Plus, there’s the time constraint of two months.

Knock. Knock.

Peng Dae-wi constantly tapped the armrests of his chair with his fingers.

It was a habit that came out whenever something didn’t work out well.

How long had it been? Peng Dae-wi, who had been endlessly tapping the armrest, got up from his seat and started walking briskly.

Director Lee Seol-yeong asked in surprise.

“Where are you going, my lord?”

“I’ll stop by Pyeonggwan-dong for a bit and then come back.”

“Hmm, didn’t the lord of the house declare that entry is prohibited?”

“Commander, is that the problem? I’m going to die.”

“Your Majesty, what do you mean…?”

“The traffic to Hanamjeongga was almost blocked. But coincidentally, something happened where I had to transport Cheongmyeonghwan, which the Gangho people were eyeing. Was that really a coincidence?”

Peng Dae-wi finished his answer with a meaningful smile and slowly left Daejeon.

General Lee Seol-yeong smiled faintly as he looked at the puffering.

They were Pangka people who looked like bears on the outside.

However, when it came to making important decisions, it was characteristic of this family to be as cunning as a fox.

* * *

After a while.

Peng Dae-wi, who had a private meeting with Gaju Peng Gang-wi in the closed room, let out a sigh.

Peng Kangwei’s answer was simple.

‘You, the head of the household, take care of it!’

Peng Kang-wi also knew that whatever decision he made this time, it would be a loss for Habuk Pengga.

However, it was not something that could be delayed.

It was like a hot toran.

The golden roasted taro is sure to make your mouth water.

But what if you put it in your mouth right now?

Maybe your mouth isn’t in good shape.

What if we just leave it until it cools down?

On the contrary, it would have been dry and tasteless.

The current situation is that the uphill road to Hanamjeongga is being looted.

A time constraint of two months.

But, I had to make a decision.

Peng Dae-wi, who was handed the hot potato of deciding on the support for Hanam Jeongga, held his head and called the people necessary for this meeting.

As the people gathered, Peng Dae-wi summarized the letter.

When the explanation was over, everyone gulped.

If you are looking for Hanam Jeongga, it is one of the five major cities in Gangnam.

Because it was clear that the typhoon there would affect Habuk as well.

Besides, Habuk Pengga and Hanam Jeongga are relatives.

They were also inseparable.

The Pangdaewi had to check the most important thing.

“Second sister-in-law.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Although Cheongmyeong-hwan is a gift sent from Hanamjeongga, I understand that its ownership belongs solely to your second sister-in-law. Do you intend to send Cheongmyeong-hwan to Hanamjeongga?”

“Of course. My father is sick, so how can I, as his daughter, pretend not to know? However… … .”

Mrs. Jeonghwa looked around, her voice trailing off.

The elders and ministers who were in the place where her gaze passed were all busy lowering their heads.

Because I was afraid that I would be left with this task.

Crossing swords with unidentified warriors on a mission was a completely different matter from combat.

Know your opponent and talk to him with your sword.

This would be something that would make anyone’s heart race.

However, not knowing when a knife might fly and pierce the back of your head was not exciting, but rather nerve-wracking.

The item that was to be taken to Hanamjeongga this time was the Cheongmyeonghwan, a treasure of the martial arts world.

What if this becomes a rumor?

It is no longer just thieves that we need to be wary of.

In the world of martial arts, a thief is a thief, and even a sect can disguise itself as a thief and get involved.

The biggest problem is that the calculations are not correct.

If I do this, will my status in Habukpangga go up?

It was a mission more suitable for being revered as a hero of Hanam Jeongga than as a hero of Habuk Pengga.

At least within Habukpangga, it was said that if you do well, you will break even.

In short, it was a high-risk, low-reward mission.

The elders and elders who bowed their heads thought of their wives and children waiting for them at home.

As everyone bowed their heads, Madam Jeong-hwa stood up from her seat and slammed the table.

“I guess the people here have no intention of helping Hanam Jeongga. Since when did our Habuk Pangga become like toothless tigers?”

The atmosphere became cold at those words.

The footnote of the main character, Ga-gi-gun, rose from his seat.

“Madam, take that back! Are you saying that Habukpangga is a toothless tiger?”

When the commander of the Joojakgakju clapped his hands, Madam Jeonghwa smiled bitterly.

“Then, isn’t it a toothless tiger? Even if I go from Habuk to Hanam now, there’s not enough time. Before my father, my opponent was the pillar of the Gangnam faction. But the Gangbuk faction, Habuk Pengga, is worried about this problem? Huh.”

When she snorted, Gagigun said uncomfortably.

“At least in the Habukpang family, there is no one who would disobey the master’s orders. Madam, please recommend someone to entrust the mission to.”

Gagi-gun looked at Madam Jeong-hwa with confidence.

Everyone nodded to the words of Gagigun, the owner of the main building.
