Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 116

**Chapter 116: Heart of stone in wooden body (1)**

“Hmm…”

Yi Wangya Gongchinwang (Second Prince Yi Wangya) Zhu Lun sighed when reading the report they had submitted to him.

“It’s not easy.”

He thought he could put more pressure on the members of Nok Gi’s group based on the incident at the Hanrim Grand Academy, but Nok Gi’s strength remained solid.

They had suffered a setback, but had come together firmly to resist.

To be fair, the influence of the royal family was much less than that of Nok Gi.

If Moon Yuhwan intervened directly, he could reverse the situation, but after hearing Moon Yuhwan’s words that a sudden investment could stimulate Nok Gi, he shifted his course towards a long-term recruitment of forces.

The problem was this wasn’t easy.

“That eunuch…”

He could not fail to recognize Nok Gi’s ability. If he used that capacity for the good of the country, he could bring an era of peace, but seeing how he was manipulating the royal family for his own benefit, he felt that his blood was boiling.

“Hmm…”

If this continues, the future of the royal family is obvious.

You have to come up with an extraordinary solution…

There was no news of the variable that Moon Yuhwan and Yi Wangya had prepared; whether he had died or was sleeping in some corner.

“That’s why I said no… ugh.”

He even resented Moon Yuhwan, who had given him the inspector’s sword despite his opposition.

“Prince.”

At that moment, he heard a voice calling from outside.

“What’s going on?”

“A messenger from Hubei has arrived.”

“Hubei?”

Yi Wangya frowned.

Who in Hubei would contact you to send a messenger?

“Who sent it?”

“He says it was the governor, he brought an official document.”

“An official document…”

Yi Wangya, the Second Prince, swallowed saliva and said:

“Bring it.”

The door opened and a servant entered with the official document.

Yi Wangya took the document that the servant offered with care, but did not open it immediately, but stared at it.

Yeon Jeonglip, the governor of Hubei, had no special connection with him.

Although it maintained strict neutrality, if properly analysed, it was closer to Nok Gi.

The post of governor of a province was not low, but governors generally did not intervene in central affairs.

Then why would I send you an official document?

“Hmm…”

Yi Wangya swallowed saliva and carefully opened the envelope and read the letter.

Yi Wangya read the letter quietly, then smiled widely and left it.

“That loafer.”

Yi Wangya laughed.

“Is anyone out there?”

“Yes.”

“Bring a drink table.”

“Yes, sir.”

Yi Wangya read the letter again and smiled.

“I told him to attract people, but he’s going around threatening them.”

But what difference does it make?

If it is difficult to maintain balance in the royal family, you simply get external support.

Yeon Jeonglip, the governor of Hubei, was a fairly influential person. If he supports Yi Wangya, the other governors and officials who are watching the situation in the capital will reconsider their positions.

“This unpredictable guy.”

Yi Wangya lay down and laughed.

‘I can trust him a little more.’

The moon that looked out the window seemed to agree.

Seomun Dayeon felt something was wrong.

No, it was already terribly wrong.

‘Where did it go wrong?’

Taking Wei Yanho out of the mountain was fine. Seomun Dayeon was sure of herself when Wei Yanho took the bait she had thrown.

It was difficult to convince him, but once convinced, he thought that Wei Yanho would follow her instructions. Even if he were strong, she was a woman and he was a man.

Once they became partners, their roles were determined.

That’s what he thought…

Squeeze, squeeze.

“Oh, don’t push him so hard.

“…yes.”

Where did it go wrong?

And how did we get to this?

She was holding back the tears that wanted to come out.

“Tsk tsk, what’s going on here?”

“What a strange sight.”

Seeing the people around criticize, she wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“Be careful!”

“……yes.”

The situation was simple.

After reaching a simple settlement, they came down from the mountain. Of course, Wei Yanho lay down from time to time, but that was something I could bear.

But the real problem began when they arrived in the village.

“……walking?”

As soon as they arrived in the village, Wei Yanho gave a serious expression.

Although he had legs, Wei Yanho denied that his legs existed to walk.

She tried to convince him, but Wei Yanho, who flatly refused, found…

‘Why this car?! Why?!’

In a village where there were no horses, mules or even cows, it was fortunate to find a car.

It was natural to ask Wei Yanho, who had thrown Guo Huan in the car, who would push him, but that was a forbidden question.

Wei Yanho responded very naturally.

“You.”

“…….”

And that’s how it ended.

Squeeze, squeeze.

The wheels of the car, which were not well painted, made a lot of noise.

Seomun Dayeon was pushing that noisy car.

“What’s that young lady doing?”

“That’s true.”

Seomun Dayeon looked up at the sky.

‘I wish I would have let myself go the way of the mountain.’

I never thought meeting people was so embarrassing.

The heart of Seomun Dayeon, who pushed the cart instead of walking, was desolate.

If she could find a market on the way, it would be good, but unfortunately she had no money. I had probably lost it while running away.

Although she was a member of the Seomun family and worked for the Righteous Martial Alliance, no one would lend her expensive horses or cows without her badge.

She looked at Wei Yanho with supplication, but she only received a penetrating look.

“Hup.”

He was short of breath.

Although she had practiced martial arts, pushing a car with two grown men was not easy.

“…Can’t we rest for a while?”

“We’ll come to this next year.”

“Just a little bit.”

“Well, do what you want, I don’t care, but that means we’ll be here any longer.”

Seomun Dayeon’s shoulders fell.

‘What kind of person is this?’

If he had some common sense, how could he ask a young woman to push a car with him inside?

She didn’t even expect to be treated like a woman. At least treat me like a person!

‘How have I finished…’

It is true that she survived thanks to Wei Yanho, but the price was too high.

While Seomun Dayeon was pushing the cart with his heart heavy, Wei Yanho was enjoying the landscape lying comfortably.

“Cherr-saaaan.”

He started singing.

“Wuuu.”

Then Guo Huan, who was lying next to him, began to slowly open his swollen eyes.

“Hey!”

Crack!

Wei Yanho, who had sent Guo Huan away again with an elbow stroke, put a cane flute in his mouth and started playing.

“How beautiful the world is.”

It seemed like he’d never moved so quietly somewhere before.

When he went to Grand Hanrim Academy, he was hungry, and when he went to the Sacred Hand Hall, he went into the luggage compartment. He was now traveling in a private car, could not be more luxurious.

“The sun is warm too.”

Then how could I not be sleepy?

Anyone would fall asleep in this situation.

Wei Yanho gave himself up to the approaching dream.

Thud!

But at that moment, the cart was shaken as it stumbled upon a stone.

“Kuh.”

“I’m… I’m sorry.”

Seomun Dayeon apologized immediately when Wei Yanho groaned.

“How much is left?”

“…we’re almost there.”

“You keep saying we’re almost there. Is it true that we’re almost there?”

“Yes.”

They’re really almost there.

The problem was that they would soon arrive in Xinyang, and Xinyang, where the Righteous Martial Alliance branch was located, was a fairly large city. Naturally, many people would see its current state.

“I’m so sorry.”

“Yes?”

“……could we leave the car when we get to the city?”

“Are you going to throw this away?”

“I’ll buy you ten if I get to the branch.”

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho had an expression of disapproval.

“I’ll… I’ll carry that person, you just have to walk a little.”

“Hmm.”

Of course, Wei Yanho was a generous person.

“Well, if so, I can’t do anything.”

“Thank you.”

“My father always said women should be treated well.”

Is this a good deal?

This?

This guy doesn’t have a conscience?

Although she felt she was going to explode in rage, Seomun Dayeon contained her anger and sighed.

Seomun Dayeon, who finally arrived in Xinyang, hid the car in a remote forest before reaching the city walls and loaded Guo Huan.

“Let’s go.”

“Why do you leave it so far away?”

“There are too many people there…”

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho showed his displeasure, but did not insist on going there by car.

Fortunately.

“Let’s go then.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Although he ended up in a terrible situation, his gratitude to Wei Yanho was genuine. If it were not for Wei Yanho, he would not have survived and could not have brought the demonic cult member here.

A lot of people were lining up to get into town.

They waited a bit and soon Wei Yanho’s turn came.

“Identification plate.”

“Ah…”

Then she realized that she had lost her bag. She had nothing that could prove her identity.

“I… lost her.”

“He lost his badge…”

The guard who was inspecting the ID plates looked at the man she was carrying on her backs and squinted her eyes.

“Who is this?”

“He’s a member of the Demonic Cult. I’m a member of the Righteous Martial Alliance and I’m escorting a member of the Demonic Cult to the branch. I lost my badge on the way. If you contact the Righteous Martial Alliance branch, you’ll be able to verify my identity.”

But the guard wasn’t friendly.

“Righteous Martial Alliance? Ha! A bunch of thugs. Why should I contact the Righteous Martial Alliance and wait for that? Find your badge or get out!”

“I can’t…”

Seomun Dayeon was desperate.

Although she could not enter if she was thrown out, she needed more time. She had already lost enough time. She had to hand over the demonic cult member as soon as possible to reveal her conspiracy.

While she was worried about what to do, Wei Yanho sneaked up and asked:

“What’s going on?”
