Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 119

**Chapter 119: Heart of stone in wooden body (4)**

“What do we do with the demonic cult member?”

“Transporting a member of the demonic cult into a carriage can be dangerous. As this situation will not last long, we will imprison him in the underground prison of the branch and transfer him to the headquarters once people return.”

“But we need your testimony.”

“Or else, we’ll send a message to headquarters right now to ask them to send someone to transport it.”

“Hmm…”

It seemed safer to do that than Seomun Dayeon to take Guo Huan. Also, to take Guo Huan, they would have to rely entirely on Wei Yanho to hold him, and constantly asking a stranger for that was also uncomfortable.

“Then I’d appreciate it if you did.”

And here’s the money for the trip to Luoyang.

Seomun Dayeon respectfully received the bag of money that Gongsonhyeong offered him and bowed deeply.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“I have also included a temporary identity card that guarantees your identity within the Righteous Martial Alliance. With that, you will have no trouble getting to Luoyang.”

Seomun Dayeon got into the carriage.

“Have a nice trip.”

“Yes. Be careful on your journey.”

“Starting!”

Seomun Dayeon shouted “Bang!” inside the carriage and slowly drove the carriage out of the branch.

Gongsonhyeong snapped his tongue at that.

“What a peculiar view.”

Gongsonhyeong, who had denied with his head, entered to write a letter to headquarters.

The carriage went to Luoyang without problems.

For Wei Yanho, who had not complained much even when he was in a car, the carriage was extremely comfortable. Thanks to the modifications he had made carefully, he felt as if he was traveling lying on a bed.

“It would be perfect if I could open the hood of the carriage.”

Anyway, a trip must have some wind, and it bothered him not to be able to feel the wind inside the carriage. But he had no intention of leaving the comfortable bed modified to climb the roof.

“How much is left?”

“Not much.”

“Couldn’t we go faster?”

“I’ll try.”

Seomun Dayeon shook the reins to speed up the horses.

“What am I doing…”

The first division of the intelligence section handles the information of the Righteous Martial Alliance. However, since the Righteous Martial Alliance relies heavily on the Beggar Sect for information, the work of the intelligence section was primarily to handle matters that the Beggar Sect could not handle.

If Beggar Sect beggars collect information from visible places, the intelligence section collects information from hidden places.

To do this, each member must be intelligent, have a high martial ability and be patient.

The fact that Seomun Dayeon, who has not yet graduated from the Academy of Martial Arts of the Academy of Sleeping Dragons, belongs to the intelligence section, and also to the first division, demonstrates how talented she is.

But now, that talented woman was busy driving the horses and taking care of them.

“……This is a loss of human resources.”

Although she knew that the world did not always function rationally, this situation was extremely irrational.

The saddest thing was that they had not yet reached the village and the sun was already setting.

Someone who knew the way well would have distributed the trip to find a place to rest, but for her, who knew how to drive a carriage but had never traveled in one, that distribution was impossible.

“The sun is setting.”

The sunset there.

And the carriage that was still climbing the mountain.

Those two things only led to a conclusion.

“Miss Wei.”

“Yes?”

“It looks like we’ll have to camp.”

“Camping?”

“Yes. We have entered a mountain road, and it seems that the village is far away. We could have an accident if we drive in the dark, so I think we should stop the carriage in a suitable place and sleep.”

“There’s no other choice.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“You’re welcome.”

Seomun Dayeon, without hesitation, found a suitable place to stop the carriage and parked it. He released the horses, tied a long rope so they could graze, pulled the bucket of water out of the carriage and prepared water for the horses to drink before they could straighten out.

“…I didn’t know a coachman’s job was so hard.”

They say you don’t know until you experience it, I thought I was just driving the carriage, but it turned out to be pretty hard to take care of the horses too.

“Miss Wei, what are we having?”

“Dry food.”

“Can we not make fire?”

“I don’t care.”

It could be interpreted as not to cause unnecessary problems and rest, but for her, who had already judged Wei Yanho, it sounded different.

‘He does not want to get out of the carriage or die.’

When camping, there was a problem I couldn’t help.

The place to sleep.

Normally, even when traveling by carriage, you cannot sleep inside, so you should prepare a place to sleep separately.

But Wei Yanho had made a bed inside the carriage. Then, there is the question of who will use that bed. As a man and woman they are different, they cannot sleep together, and in the end, one of them will have to sleep outside…

“……and where will we sleep?”

“I’ll sleep here.

Look!

Like I said, he did it on purpose!

How can anyone be so irritating?

“Se… señorito Wei.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve driven the carriage a lot today, I’m full of dust and my back hurts a lot on the hard and wobbly ground…”

“Oh, then you should rest soon. I won’t bother you anymore, so sleep soon.”

“…….”

Seomun Dayeon looked at the twilight sky.

Still, she’s a woman.

When a man is with a young woman, shouldn’t he be a little considerate?

If she has made all this effort to drive the carriage, he could let her sleep comfortably.

‘Damn it! Get sores on your back!’

What’s the point of looking good?

The inside of him is rotten!

She had to gather branches before it got colder and make fire. She would probably have to sleep on the floor with straw, and if she could not make fire, she would freeze and her mouth would be twisted.

When he finished gathering branches and lit a fire with a flint stone, it had been a long time.

Seomun Dayeon sat by the fire and chewed dry food.

“It’s hard.”

The wind is cold too.

Feeling the cold, he came closer to the fire and looked at the carriage with eyes full of resentment.

Thinking of Wei Yanho, who would be wallowing alone in the warm carriage bed, he was angry.

Of course, she didn’t feel bad about Wei Yanho from the beginning, but anyone who spent three days with Wei Yanho could ensure that their good feelings would disappear.

“Even so, the young master Wei Sanho was a gentleman.”

Her eyes clouded when she thought of Wei Sanho.

Although it was difficult to approach him because of his serious atmosphere, Wei Sanho was the object of affection for many women.

His beautiful face, his high martial ability and his passion for his sword.

In addition, their occasional consideration was sufficient to melt women’s hearts.

“……why is he like this?”

Even though they’re blood brothers, why are they so different?

If I wasn’t as handsome as Wei Sanho, I should at least have a better character.

They grew up in the same place, received the same education, how did they become so different brothers?

“Then…”

When she was about to express more complaints, she closed her mouth and turned her head.

She felt a presence in the distance.

‘At this time of night?’

They say that “if someone comes, it’s not good.” If someone who was wandering the mountain late at night came to their fire, they couldn’t help but be alert.

Seomun Dayeon said quietly.

“Miss.”

But there was no answer.

“Miss!”

“Yes?”

He heard a voice that seemed to be half asleep.

‘He already fell asleep.’

He slept all the way in the carriage, and now he has gone back to sleep, how much does he need to sleep to be satisfied?

“Someone is coming. Be careful.”

“Yes.”

He heard a concise answer, as if giving him laziness.

Even though she was anxious, what was the point of complaining?

She silently moved the handle of her hidden sword to a more accessible place.

Shortly thereafter, three men appeared in front of her.

“Excuse me.”

One of the men went ahead and bowed.

“We’re not suspicious people. We were lost in the mountains and we saw the fire, so we came. If it’s not too much trouble, could we rest for a while? We underestimated the night mountain, and our body temperature has been dropping, so we thought we’d find ourselves in trouble if we continued like this.”

Seomun Dayeon saw the men reflected in the fire, rose and bowed.

“I want to offer you the fire, but since I am a woman, I feel uncomfortable spending the night with you. I suggest you get off the mountain.”

“Please, I beg you. We are chasing a demon. We are not bad people. I am Jwoyang of the Zhengzhou Fukwon sect.”

“The Fukwon sect, from Wudang?”

The man smiled slightly.

“Shamefully, we are a branch of Wudang.”

“I see. I’ve heard of the Fukwon sect.”

The Fukwon sect was a sect she knew. But because of her work, she only knew it, and if she wanted to impersonate another sect, she would have used the name of a more plausible sect or the name of a nearby sect.

“How’s old Hyeong?”

The man smiled.

“There is no one with the name Hyeong in our sect.”

When she finished the last check, she smiled.

“Excuse me for your troubles.

The men bowed and approached the fire to warm themselves up.

“Why is a lady spending the night here? Are you chasing a demon too?”

“No. I was on my way and I was surprised by the night on the mountain.”

“What a pity. Nights on the mountain are dangerous. It is better to be careful in the future.”

They seemed to be prepared, taking dry food and dried meat out of their bags.

“Did you say demon?”

“That…”

Jwoyang hesitated with an uncomfortable expression.

“It’s not really a demon, but it’s a little embarrassing to say it in front of a lady…”

“I am a woman of the martial world. May I know what it is?”

“It’s not serious, it’s just… well, a depraved has reappeared and is fleeing…”

“Did you say depraved?”

It would be embarrassing to mention the word “depraved” in front of a woman.

“Yes. Although I do not know if you have heard it, Seo Juak, the lewd scholar who wreaked havoc in the past, has reappeared.”

At that moment…

Kaaang!

The carriage door opened with force, as if it were to break, and Wei Yanho, with a murderous look, popped his head.

“……who said that?”
