Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 160

**Chapter 160: The Holgazan Enters the City (4)**

Deoksam, who kept Luoyang’s door, barked his head when he saw the lights.

“What’s all that?”

Mui ran to Deoksam and popped his head.

“…… they’re not just a few!”

“Hmm.”

Deoksam felt a stab in the forehead.

‘Should I investigate?’

There was an incredible amount of lights. The lights, which had increased one by one, now looked like a river of fire.

Unless there was a popular revolt, so many lights could not be gathered, but unless they were crazy, who would dare start a revolt in Luoyang?

“Let’s see?”

“Hmm, no. First, we will inform our superiors and then we will stay here.”

If they left the door unprotected and something happened, they would lose their heads. Their duty was to protect the door, not to worry about what was going on outside.

“But…”

“Yes?”

“Doesn’t it seem like they’re slowly getting closer?”

“…… eh?”

Deoksam began to see something strange.

In the middle of the river of lights, the central lights began to go out.

‘E… stranger.’

It seemed that darkness was passing through the river of lights. The lights, as if fearing the approaching darkness, retreated and began to follow the darkness.

“They’re getting closer!”

“S… yes.”

The darkness was advancing towards Luoyang, crossing the river of lights.

‘There is no worse omen than this.’

They’ve never seen the darkness invade Luoyang like this.

I wanted to call a shaman to perform a ritual.

“I… report immediately. Report that something is approaching Luoyang.”

“If I report that, bad luck is likely to catch up with me. If the commander finds out, he will challenge me for not reporting correctly.”

Deoksam’s eyes began to tremble.

The darkness…

The darkness was approaching, turning out the lights.

When the darkness completely crossed the river of lights, the lights began to gather, chasing the darkness.

‘I will never see such a thing again.’

It was even majestic.

“What’s going on?”

“How do I know?”

Deoksam trembled.

They didn’t know exactly what was going on, but it was obvious that something huge and unimaginable was coming.

Deoksam held his spear firmly.

“E… send someone to report that something is approaching the city gate! Quickly!”

“Understood.”

Mui called a guard and explained the situation to him, and then sent him down quickly.

‘I had a bad dream last night.’

Deoksam swallowed saliva and opened his eyes. Seeing the river of lights, it seemed they would arrive soon.

At that time, Deoksam, who was watching the dark road, began to see something white.

‘What is it?’

The points began to grow and take shape.

‘A carriage?’

Deoksam’s eyes opened when he saw a white carriage pulled by four white horses, only the nobles could use that kind of carriage, if a nobleman was rushing into Luoyang, and many people followed him… the situation was serious.

‘What do I do?’

He should open the door, but it was impossible to let someone in without checking their identity, and Luoyang forbade opening the city gates at night.

While Deoksam doubted, the carriage approached the door at an incredible speed.

‘Wow…’

When the carriage approached, the situation became clear. Many people with threatening weapons were following the carriage.

“What’s going on?”

Deoksam couldn’t understand the situation.

Why were they chasing that carriage?

Who were the ones in the carriage?

Someone answered Deoksam’s question. A young man riding on one of the horses stood up and looked at them.

‘Oh.’

Deoksam looked at the young man with amazement.

It was a great skill to be able to stand on a horse running at full speed. Even Mongolian riders, known as the demons of horses, could not do so.

Suddenly, the young man straightened out and pulled something out of his coat.

‘What is it?’

Something yellow shone in the sky. “But it was far away, and it was dark, so it could not be seen clearly. There were many people with torches behind, which made visibility difficult.

At that moment!

A dazzling golden glow came out of the object that the young man held, illuminating the world.

“Huk?”

Deoksam let go of a scream involuntarily. When his eyes became accustomed to the brightness, he could see clearly what the young man was holding.

A little knife.

A small knife with golden engravings clearly appeared before Deoksam’s eyes.

Deoksam’s cheeks trembled.

He was too far away to see the engravings, but he knew very well what that little knife was. Door guards always remembered a legend.

If someone shows a silver insignia, let him go into silence. If someone shows a gold insignia, be your servants. If someone shows a golden sword, it means that a demon has descended into the city, so surrender and die.

The secret inspector’s golden sword.

‘N…can’t be.’

Deoksam shook his head.

It couldn’t just be the secret inspector’s golden sword, and if it were the secret inspector’s golden sword, it wouldn’t show it openly.

So…

Just as Deoksam was about to come to a conclusion, the young man opened his mouth and shouted with all his might.

“Secret Inspector!”

“…… l… crazy!”

“I present my credentials!”

The instant he heard the voice, Deoksam’s body turned back.

An unthinking order came out of his mouth.

“Open up!”

Seeing his confused subordinates, Deoksam cried out with all his might.

“Open up! Open the door! If you do not open in time and the carriage cannot pass, we will all die! Quick! Open! It is the Inspector! The Inspector’s symbol has arrived!”

“Hieeeek!”

Those who understood the situation ran down frantically.

If they didn’t open the door in time and the Inspector suffered some damage at the hands of those villains, they would all be executed.

Some even went down the cords of the wall.

“Get him! Hurry!”

“Turn! Turn the crank! Quickly!”

Dozens of guards grabbed the crank and started turning hard.

“Turn! Turn! If you don’t open in time, you won’t be able to work anymore! You will rest in your coffins!”

“Aaaaaah! Buddha!”

It was chaos, but the crank was spinning at an incredible speed. Everyone held on desperately. Not even ten oxen could lift the door at that speed.

So, something had to be broken.

♪ Crack! ♪

“…… eh?”

When they heard the horrible sound, they all looked at the crank with astonishment. The crank had been broken by weight.

“E… eh…”

As everyone watched the scene with astonishment, Deoksam ran to them.

“What are you doing? I told you to open the door!”

“L… the crank broke.”

“What?”

Deoksam pushed people in and came in. “Seeing the crank broken, Deoksam collapsed.”

“……we are lost.”

I had a wife like a bear and a son like a rabbit waiting at home, but I could end up in hell with them.

‘I had a bad dream last night.’

Tears began to fall down Deoksam’s cheeks.

But fortunately, the approaching Inspector was not a common Inspector.

“Get out of the way!”

A powerful voice rang from the wall.

“Huh?”

The intention was good, but the timing was bad.

♪ Kaboom! ♪

With a loud noise, the door exploded.

“Aaaaaah!”

A mighty gust of wind entered with the door. Deoksam was dragged by the wind, turning like a vane, and crying.

“If I return to work when I have a bad dream, I am not human! Aaaaaah!”

Without realizing that he had thrown many people along with the door, Wei Yanho was laughing out loud from his horse.

“Hahahaha! Come on! Run!”

“Where are we going?”

Wei Yanho responded without hesitation to the cry of Seomun Dayeon.

“Anywhere! To the Righteous Martial Alliance! Quick! Run!”

Seeing the excited expression of Wei Yanho, Seomun Dayeon squeezed his teeth.

‘I shouldn’t have traveled with this madman!’

He was definitely crazy. What does that happy expression mean in this situation?

“Run! Run!”

“Shut up, you brat!”

Gong Mujin, who was running by the carriage using light martial arts, shouted with anger.

“Get him! Grab him!”

People with torches and guns chased them frantically.

The city of Luoyang was in chaos, as if it had been invaded by an enemy army.

“There!”

“Woe!”

Wei Yanho used his sword to push people who couldn’t dodge the carriage, allowing Seomun Dayeon to speed up.

“There!”

Wei Yanho looked forward after listening to Seomun Dayeon.

He saw a big building at the end of the road.

“Wow! It’s huge!”

“But, young Wei!”

“Yes?”

“That’s not a door! We have to go around to get to the door!”

Wei Yanho looked back.

It was impossible to turn at that speed. If they slowed down, they would be reached by the crowd.

“Let’s go on like this!”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho smiled, held his golden sword and drew another.

“There’s a saying…”

“……Wait. I don’t know what you’re going to do, but couldn’t you just not? I’ll look for the door!”

Seomun Dayeon’s desperate cry did not seem to reach Wei Yanho’s ears.

“The Great Way has no doors! If there is no door, let’s make one!”

“But not literally! Damn!”

Gong Mujin’s dismayed cry resonated sadly in the darkness of Luoyang.
