Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 146

**Chapter 146: The Holgazan Solves it (1)**

In short, the massacre originated in greed.

How many people threw themselves like rabid dogs to get the legacy of the Sword Emperor?

Where did they go?

That’s a silly question. Would you mention this if it wasn’t related to Wei Yanho?

Of course, they went after Wei Yanho.

What?

Oh, of course, there’s no reason. They just went there, and Wei Yanho was there.

An accident?

Yes, an accident.

If so many people had faced Wei Yanho, it would have been a disaster.

And you know it.

The fact that the legacy of the Sword Emperor appeared, something that was thought impossible, necessarily implies a conspiracy. At that time, I did not know that Wei Yanho was the successor to the Sword Emperor, so I did not think about it.

Huh?

Yeah, that’s right.

There were those who secretly conspired.

The problem arose when Wei Yanho got involved.

That the conspiracy was thwarted by Wei Yanho’s intervention?

It’s not like that.

While things went wrong, saying that the plan was completely ruined is inaccurate. That’s why I said this incident is difficult to assess.

Do you want me to explain this clearly?

Ahem, I’ve been talking for a while and my throat’s dry.

There’s a good tavern nearby… if you’re not in a hurry, come on.

“How’s the situation?”

His voice was very low, with a strange echo. Everyone present focused on his words.

“The legacy has been discovered. Many warriors are fighting for it.”

“Will they have spread the rumor enough?”

“Even Wudang and Shaolin have mobilized. The Righteous Martial Alliance is trying to control the situation, but it will be insufficient. The legacy of the Sword Emperor is too tempting.”

“That’s true.”

But the man’s voice did not sound cheerful.

“We have been searching for the legacy for more than 200 years. If we had abandoned the search and tried to reach its level, perhaps we would not have suffered this long humiliation.”

“That’s right.”

The man quieted down for a moment, as if he were thinking, and then spoke slowly.

“The great plan has already begun. You must make sure that this plan does not have problems. The legacy must fall into the hands of the strongest warrior.”

“I will remember.”

The man nodded slowly.

“What are those two doing?”

“Do you mean the second and third children?”

“Yes.”

“The second son has abandoned the matter and is resting.”

“Abandoned?”

“He said it wasn’t profitable.”

“That guy always looks for efficiency. But he’s good at finding opportunities, so he’ll be fine. And the third?”

“The third son remains focused on the affairs of the palace. It has been said that he will be called to the main house.”

“Hmm…”

The man made a sound of disgust, and the underling who was kneeling asked cautiously:

“Don’t you like the third child coming to the main house?”

The man’s thick eyebrows moved.

“Do you see me as a petty person?”

“That is totally false. How could a subordinate have such thoughts?”

The man smiled and said:

“Although he is an illegitimate child, I have never questioned his origin. If he has talent, he must be used, no matter his origin.”

“That’s right.”

“The strong survives. That is the law of our family, and all that matters. Origin and status mean nothing. The only thing that matters is whether it is stronger than me, or not. And that law is only for me.”

The subordinate nodded slowly.

“You can retire.”

“But…”

“Hmm?”

The man looked at the subordinate kneeling with an expression of doubt. Normally, he was not someone who added more words.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s something I’ve been hesitant about, whether I should report it or not… but I think it’s better that I do.”

“Speak.”

“Information about the person who interfered with the plans of the second and third children coincides.”

“Hmm?”

Man’s eyebrows moved.

“Coincidentally?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Inform me.”

“Yes. His name is Wei Yanho, Wei Jeonghan’s second son from the Wei family. He disappeared five years ago and recently reappeared. As soon as he reappeared, he went to Hanrim Academy to stop the third son’s plans, and then went to the Sacred Hand Hall to make the second son abandon his plans. His martial skills are at least peak level. And…”

“And?”

“Hmm, I don’t know how to say it…”

He seemed to doubt whether he should say it or not, and then he spoke with difficulty.

“They say… he’s the biggest loafer in the world.”

“…….”

Man’s expression subtly distorted.

“Then…”

The man hesitated for a moment and continued.

“Do you mean that because of that loafer, the plans of the second and third children failed?”

“I’m sorry, but it’s true.”

“Hmm.”

The man had to think about what instructions to give, something he had not done in a long time. Although he was proud of his quick decision-making, this matter was beyond his comprehension.

“The possibility that he knew about our plans and deliberately interfered?”

“It’s null.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Even his visit to the Sacred Hand Hall was thanks to a letter of recommendation from Moon Yuhwan, Hanrim’s scholar. The only possibility is that Moon Yuhwan knew about our information. But we have not found any evidence.”

“It’s strange. So, the two sons failed because of him? Once it’s understandable, but twice… If he gets involved once more, even if he was sent out of heaven to stop our plan, I couldn’t help but laugh.”

“That’s why I tell you…”

“What else?”

“The whereabouts of the secret legacy are related to him.”

“Huh?”

“……the path of the secret legacy follows exactly his steps. It seems that they will meet in one day.”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie?”

The man rubbed his face with his huge hands. “It had been a joke, but now that the situation had come to this, he felt a bad feeling.

“It’s strange, very strange.”

The man caressed his beard.

“There are always problems in any plan. But such obvious problems are rare.”

“Although I consider it a coincidence…”

“Cuncidence and success are the work of heaven. Coincidences are the scariest. You said he was the second son of the Wei family, right?”

“Yes.”

“Wei Jeonghan, the Sword of the Righteous Hero, is a dangerous man. I don’t want to meet a poisonous snake. When I secretly plan, I prefer to avoid the Hao family, the beggar sect and Wei Jeonghan. For now, let’s wait and see.”

“… yes, understood.”

“Wei Yanho, did you say?”

The man made a serious sound.

‘Did he interfere with his brothers’ plans?’

His brothers were so strong that they had no rivals of his age. Had he been born a few years earlier, he would not have been able to guarantee victory.

The fact that they have failed means that Wei Yanho’s skills and strategy far exceed the level of Academy officers.

‘We must be careful.’

The man firmly recorded Wei Yanho’s name in his mind.

“Sometimes, waiting is better than looking for a solution. Let’s see what happens. If it’s like you said, you’ll soon find the secret legacy, and I wonder if you can survive among those desperately seeking the legacy.”

“Understood.”

The man caressed his chin and lay down in his chair.

“And your father?”

“Ultimately, he goes out into the garden frequently. He says he feels comfortable seeing the flowers and spring.”

“Have you had any new understanding?”

The man trembled. “How far does his father intend to go?”

“Don’t worry about small failures. The important thing is to maintain balance. As long as my father exists, and our swords exist, we won’t have failures.”

“Yes, sir.”

The eyes of man were darkened.

‘Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho…’

Despite his confident words, he felt a strange oppression in his chest.

* * *

“You’re not going to eat?”

“…….”

Gong Mujin’s face blushed.

“Eating, sleeping! Eating, sleeping! Eating, sleeping!”

Gong Mujin shouted.

“You do nothing but eat and sleep?”

It was a severe reprimand.

If anyone else had heard that, he would have been ashamed and denied it, but Wei Yanho was different.

That was Gong Mujin’s misfortune.

“You don’t eat or sleep, Grand Master Gong?”

“…… eh? Yes, I eat and sleep.”

“If you do and so do I, why are you scolding me?”

“Because I do more than that! There is no one in the world with a life as comfortable as yours!”

“If life is comfortable, what difference does it make? It seems much better than a difficult life.”

“Ugh!”

This brat!

His body is lazy, but why is his tongue so sharp?

And there was something else that irritated Gong Mujin.

I Sheolhwa took out her belongings and discreetly placed dried meat next to Wei Yanho.

Seeing the brightness of the dried meat, it was obvious that it was of better quality than the one he had eaten before.

‘Seolhwa!’

Gong Mujin sorely swallowed the tears coming out of him. He gave hard dried meat to his teacher, who no longer had good teeth, but gave high quality dried meat to Wei Yanho.

‘Why him? Why!’

Before I met Wei Yanho, she had a strong character, but now, she was so docile… oh, that’s not it.

Gong Mujin clenched his teeth and shouted at Seomun Dayeon:

“How long before the inn?”

“We’ll be there soon.”

“Ah, but…”

At that time, Wei Yanho spoke with an expression of disgust.
