Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 798

Episode 798. Palm (1)

Ah-seong looked back and forth between the man in blue uniform holding the helm and Han-bin.

Because I was curious about what Hanbin said.

What on earth did he see that made him know he was sailing a ship?

In response to his question, Hanbin looked up at the distant sky for a moment before continuing.

“palm of the hand!”

Ah-seong tilted his head at the short answer.

“What does that mean?”

“Because he had both the common calluses seen on unmanned vehicles and the uncommon scars seen on fishermen?”

At Hanbin’s words, Ahsung thought of the man’s palm.

Asungdo was a member of Baekgyeong. He had the basic ability to observe others.

Ah-seong nodded, thinking of the man’s palm.

As Hanbin said, the palm of the prisoner holding the helm was different from that of an ordinary unmanned vessel.

The marks from holding the rope and the skin was quite rough, as if the wound had been repeatedly soaked in salt water.

In fact, the same was true of Asung’s hand.

To become a member of the background, you had to be able to work on ships.

Thanks to this, the hands of the fortress resembled those of a man wearing blue military uniforms.

Ah-seong, who had been lost in thought for a moment, looked at Han-bin again.

“Then, has Prince Peng also ever been to the sea?”

“Judge that for yourself.”

Hanbin showed his palm.

For a moment, Ah-seong tilted his head.

Hanbin’s palm was not an unmanned hand.

However, it was neither the hand of a fisherman nor the hand of a farmer.

Instead of calluses, numerous scars remained clearly visible.

Ah-seong suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Because none of the captains of Baekgyeong had hands like that.

The reason was simple.

If you’re a Baekgyeong ship owner, you’ve probably been through a complete transformation once or twice!

But Hanbin’s hands were full of wounds.

This is the strangest thing.

Ah-seong did not believe from the beginning that Han-bin was the fourth son of the Ha-buk-pang family.

If he were truly the youngest prince, he would be twenty years old at most.

A person like that becomes the captain of Baekgyeong?

This was impossible. Asung saw Hanbin’s age, he was at least forty.

In addition, the emotions Hanbin showed were unpredictable.

The most important thing is to have no hesitation.

The absence of hesitation meant that one had experienced that situation at least once.

All things considered, Hanbin should have had at least a generation of experience.

Internal energy can be built up in a short period of time, but experience takes time.

“Was he really the youngest son of the Habuk Peng family?”

“Are you curious?”

“Please speak, Confucius.”

“It’s a secret.”

As Hanbin turned around after finishing speaking, Ah-seong asked again.

“Let me ask you one more thing.”

“Tell me.”

“Why did you entrust the ship to me? If you want to guide me, I can do it.”

“Do you know where the blood is right now?”

“Of course I know. I escaped from there secretly.”

Ah-seong quietly recalled what happened back then.

When Hyul-hu was cornered by the enemy’s offensive, Ah-seong hijacked the enemy’s ship and secretly came here.

So, going back that road, finding the bloodline was not a problem.

The important thing is that Asungdo is also part of Baekgyeong.

All members of Baekgyeong were sailors.

I thought that Asung was second to none in terms of his ability to see the sea route.

At that time, Hanbin continued speaking with a smileless face.

“Will they remain there until we get there?”

“Well… … .”

“Don’t look down on your opponent too much. You’ll end up with a big nose.”

Hanbin snickered.

Then he looked at his hands.

In fact, Hanbin couldn’t figure out why the wounds on his hands wouldn’t go away.

Even after the transformation, the scars on his hands did not go away.

Thanks to that, Hanbin’s nails were completely transformed.

Some Taoist masters claim that palm lines reveal a person’s fate.

According to their words, Hanbin’s fate would have changed countless times.

***

It was about an hour after we started going up the river.

The prisoner at the helm raised his hand.

“I’m here. So, I’ll leave you here… … .”

He was speechless.

Because Hanbin pressed on his acupoint. He fell straight down on the floor without even being able to turn his head.

A coffin made of iron was placed where he fell.

It was Sim Mi-ho who brought the coffin.

As if reading Hanbin’s mind, Sim Miho brought the coffin to the back in advance.

As the prisoner in blue uniform entered the coffin, Hanbin clapped his hands.

match.

“Close it!”

“Your name.”

After a brief exchange of instructions and answers, the coffin lid was closed.

Jeong-hee, who was watching that scene, opened her mouth wide.

Because I thought I knew what had happened to me.

Although he was an enemy, Jeong-hee, who sympathized with him, quietly turned her head.

At that time, Hanbin asked Ahseong.

“Is that the island you ran away to earlier?”

“therefore…….”

Ah-seong tilted his head.

Right before my eyes was a blurry shape that looked like an island.

Perhaps because of the thick fog, the shape could not be seen clearly.

However, looking at the high peaks rising above the thick fog, the island seemed to be of considerable size.

Ah-seong shook his head quietly.

“It doesn’t seem like the place I left. There weren’t any peaks that high there.”

“Then I guess that’s their base.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin narrowed his eyes and looked into the fog.

The sight was strange to anyone who saw it.

No matter how high one’s martial arts skills were, it was difficult to see through the fog.

Even at that moment, Hanbin’s expression changed from moment to moment.

Hanbin was now looking at the traces of the icicles swaying in the fog.

The trace was so strong that it could penetrate the fog.

Of course, it was a trace that was invisible to other people.

However, that did not mean I was feeling all that good.

The traces of the knots that we see now were not just one or two.

It wasn’t coming from one person, but from at least three people.

This was because the traces of the wound were quite far away.

“There are several people… … .”

Hanbin briefly recalled the previous confrontation.

That is, the eunuch Cho, Yomi, and even Hojo.

What if we met them in one place?

Hanbin could only shake his head silently. If they had spread out their winning line, Hanbin would have lost.

This was a fact that would not change unless Hanbin crossed the next wall.

Ah-seong asked at Han-bin’s serious expression.

“Why are you like that?”

“Something feels off… … .”

“What do you mean? You’ve come this far and you’re quitting?”

“What we need now is a trap.”

“A trap? What do you mean?”

“Going there now is like an unprepared hunter walking into a tiger’s den. If you’re a hunter, you should at least bring a bow and traps.”

“Where are the bow and traps?”

“I have to prepare from now on.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin opened the coffin lid again.

Then they stripped the prisoner of his clothes, leaving not a single one behind.

Then Hanbin handed the clothes to Ahsung.

“Wear these clothes.”

“Why do you want me to wear these clothes?”

“Don’t you want to save your blood?”

“I’ll wear it. Please give it to me.”

Ah-seong quickly got dressed and put on his clothes.

After he finished putting on his clothes, Hanbin asked Ahsung to change his expression.

“Raise the corners of your mouth a little more… … .”

“Is this what you mean?”

As Ah-seong asked with a changed expression, Han-bin gave detailed instructions with his finger.

“No, look a little lower than that, and open your eyes a little bit smaller.”

“Okay.”

Ah-seong kept changing his expression at Han-bin’s request. After changing his expression for a long time, Ah-seong’s expression became similar to that of a prisoner in a coffin.

Hanbin, who confirmed that expression, snapped his fingers.

At that moment, Seolhwa unpacked the bundle in front of Hanbin.

I didn’t even know how many bundles I had today.

Hanbin took out his disguise tools from the bundle Seolhwa had brought.

Hanbin, who had checked the tool, spread it over Ahsung’s face.

Swish swish.

“What are you doing now?”

“Just wait a minute. If you change your expression now, we’ll have to start over from the beginning.”

“But at least tell me in advance… … .”

“If you keep doing that, I’m going to start by drawing blood. So just stay still.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin began to change Ahseong’s face naturally as if he was writing a contract.

In the blink of an eye, the face of the fortress changed.

It was changed just like the prisoner in the coffin.

Hanbin finished by touching Ahsung’s face in that state.

“Well, I guess I can let this slide.”

“It’s the same, Confucius.”

Seolhwa looked back and forth between the faces of the prisoner and the castle.

None of them could refute Sulwha’s words.

As the story says, there was no difference between the face of the man in the blue uniform and that of the castle.

From the position of the dot to the goatee, everything was identical to that of a prisoner.

When everything was ready, Hanbin handed the rope to Ahsung.

“Tie it up now.”

“Who do you want me to tie up?”

“Everyone wearing a rabbit mask.”

Hanbin pointed to the back.

They were the ones Hanbin had nominated. Ah-seong nodded after seeing them.

Ah-seong knew what Han-bin was talking about.

The idea was to disguise ourselves and go forward since a frontal assault would be difficult.

If Ah-seong disguised himself as a man in blue uniform and took the rest of the people as prisoners, it would certainly be easy to enter the island.

After infiltrating like that and finding the bloodhound and leaving the island, the castle’s mission was over.

Ah-seong started tying the first rabbit mask.

The first one to be tied up was Jeong-hee.

She licked her lips several times while being tied up with rope.

No matter how I thought about it, this operation seemed dangerous.

Except for the disguise, the whole plan seemed flawed.

If that place was a tiger’s den as Hanbin said, then it was clear that he would be beheaded the moment his identity was revealed.

Jeong-hee, who couldn’t stand it any longer, mustered up her courage and asked.

“Is this for justice?”

“What is the justice that Instructor Jeong is talking about?”

“that…….”

Jeong-hee averted her gaze. When I suddenly asked her, she had nothing to say. The sect she belonged to was Jeong-pa, and the group she belonged to was Jeong-ui Maeng.

The justice that Jeong-hee thought of was precisely the actions they performed.

At that time, Hanbin opened his mouth first.

“Is it justice to fill the stomach of the political faction? Or is it justice to serve the people even if it means suffering a little loss?”

“I think it’s the latter.”

Jeong-hee reluctantly answered. In fact, the justice she thought of was closer to the former.

Because I learned that justice is what benefits the party.

Then Hanbin said.

“They are both wrong.”

“yes?”

“What does it matter whether it’s political or social? If it benefits me, it’s justice.”

“oh.”

Jeonghee’s expression hardened, her mouth wide open.

This was an unexpected remark.

Hanbin continued speaking after seeing that expression.

“And if I may add one more thing, I would say that the greatest justice is to survive. Then, let’s go protect that great justice.”

Hanbin pointed to the foggy island.

***

Hanbin and his party boarded the ferry that Ahsung had arrived on.

The rower kept letting out heavy breaths.

“Gasp. Gasp.”

“We are tied up in ropes, so please understand that we cannot help even if we want to.”

As Hanbin offered words of comfort, Ahsung gritted his teeth.

“Couldn’t you have tied the rope later?”

“If you still say that after seeing that, then I’m disappointed.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin turned his head briefly.

The place Hanbin was looking at was the middle of the island.

A-seong opened his eyes wide as he saw the middle of the island.

“Why there?”
