Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 162

**Chapter 162: Holgazán does business (1)**

Wei Yanho caused the incident, but real chaos was experienced by the governor of Luoyang and the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Why not?

In the middle of the night, almost a thousand armed warriors broke into the city, breaking the door.

Huh?

Wasn’t it Wei Yanho who broke the door?

What did you hear?

Wei Yanho was a Secret Inspector, not any secret inspector, but one whom the Chief Inspector himself had given his sacred insignia, the golden sword. If a Secret Inspector like that was persecuted by criminals, it was a serious matter.

Huh?

Is he a more important Secret Inspector than the governor?

Of course not. Although the Secret Inspectors have the power to inspect, if they have not committed any crime, they cannot be superior to the governors, who have the military power. That is obvious.

But…

Imagine if a Secret Inspector with the golden sword suffered an accident in Luoyang. What would happen?

The anger of the Chief Inspector, i.e. the Crown Prince, would be unleashed upon Luoyang.

Of course, the governor of Luoyang is an influential figure, but there is someone he cannot challenge.

So how could the governor of Luoyang not be angry?

And that anger fell on the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Why?

Come on, buddy.

Don’t you know that by being a martial history scholar?

Although the law and the martial world are usually independent, how could the law not hold warriors accountable when they tried to kill a Secret Inspector?

Besides, it was Luoyang.

The Righteous Martial Alliance was allowed to settle in Luoyang because it helped maintain law and order, but the warriors wreaked havoc, so the governor had reason to be angry.

That’s why the Righteous Martial Alliance also suffered a lot to resolve the situation.

Huh?

What did Wei Yanho do in the meantime?

Wei Yanho?

Why do you ask the obvious?

Wei Yanho, of course…

Yeah.

That’s right.

…slept.

So who solved the problem?

Well…

* * *

Gong Mujin’s expression was very complex.

The Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon.

Monte Hua, to which it belonged, was one of the most important forces of the time, which held one of the pillars of the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon.

Even for Gong Mujin, it was difficult to meet an officer of the Righteous Martial Alliance of Sungcheon. Depending on the point of view, the position of an officer of the Righteous Martial Alliance was even more influential than the leader of Monte Hua.

Gong Mujin swallowed saliva when he saw Jo Hyeon, the Master of Divine Abilities (), an officer of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Jo Hyeon was known for his nobility and talent. It was said that he was a cold person, that even after his elite soldiers, to whom he had dedicated his life, were killed during the revolt of the demonic cult, he gave the following instructions without changing his expression.

‘No one has seen this expression of yours.’

But Gong Mujin could clearly see the strange expression of Jo Hyeon. How many people in the world have seen that expression of Jo Hyeon?

“Then…”

It was not an illusion that Jo Hyeon’s voice trembled slightly.

“Is everything you’ve said true?”

“Yes.”

Gong Mujin felt guilty, though he had done nothing wrong.

Jo Hyeon’s gaze turned to Seomun Dayeon.

Seomun Dayeon nodded frantically without saying a word.

‘I’m uncomfortable.’

Normally, she, a mere member of the Wind House, would never meet an officer, even in her entire life. Being in such an important meeting with only three people was something impossible unless she was questioned by the police.

“Then…”

Jo Hyeon, who also did not seem to understand the situation, opened and closed his mouth several times.

“He sold it?”

“…Yes.”

“The Treasure of the Sword Emperor?”

Yes, I understand your feelings, Mr. Officer.

But what can be done? That is the reality.

“To be precise, he did not sell it, but allowed it to be copied.”

“Did he allow you to copy the secret book of the greatest person of all time… for two ounces of gold?”

“Yes.”

“Then!”

Seeing Jo Hyeon unable to continue, Gong Mujin tried to contain his laughter.

His feelings were very complex.

He felt bad for Jo Hyeon, but he was also happy that someone else had to deal with the problems caused by Wei Yanho.

‘I can’t be the only one.’

“E… this is…”

Jo Hyeon sighed with resignation.

“If this continues, in ten years, the street will be full of the best swordsmen in the world.”

Of course, not everyone can reach enlightenment just because they have the secret book. As Baek Muhan explained to Wei Yanho, a secret book cannot contain the essence of martial arts. It’s just a guide.

Moreover, not everyone becomes experts just because they learn good martial arts. Even in the same sect, learning the same martial arts, some become the best, and others accomplish nothing in their entire lives.

So there’s no need to worry so much…

“……but!”

No!

Even so, this is too much!

People must think before they act, how could they distribute it like that!

“What was I thinking?”

“He said he made money, people got the secret book, and no one died, so it couldn’t have been better.”

“Ugh…”

If you think about it, he’s right.

One might say that a young man solved a problem that the Righteous Martial Alliance could not solve.

But no one knows what kind of disaster this secret book will cause in the future. It could be like a bomb that exploded in the martial world.

Jo Hyeon, after reflecting for a while, raised his head and asked Gong Mujin.

“Where is that young man now?”

The sun shone warmly, and the bed was comfortable.

Wei Yanho was enjoying his rest.

‘How peaceful.’

How long had it been since I had felt peace.

It was the first time he had a proper rest since he arrived at the Sacred Hand Hall.

When someone who is busy suddenly has free time, he usually gets bored, but Wei Yanho was able to rest perfectly whenever he had time.

That’s how it was now.

When he snuggled into bed and wrapped himself in blankets, he noticed.

This is paradise.

So comfortable that he was worried about dying of happiness, Wei Yanho was enjoying his time of peace.

♪ Knock knock! ♪

He heard that they were knocking at the door.

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho frowned slightly and looked at the door. “As it was a temporary room provided by the Righteous Martial Alliance, few people knew it was there.

Who would visit him?

Wei Yanho opened his mouth after reflecting. “If Gong Mujin had come to disturb him, he would not have knocked on the door.”

“Go ahead.”

The door creaked as it opened.

“Huh?”

I Seolhwa was standing in front of the door, holding a large tray.

“What’s going on?”

“Eat.”

“Ah!”

A warm smile appeared on Wei Yanho’s face.

Food, food.

Humans eat, sleep, eat and sleep.

Wei Yanho opened her eyes to see the food I Sheolhwa brought.

If you had to choose the biggest change in Wei Yanho since you met Baek Muhan, it would be his appetite.

In the past, Wei Yanho lived with the mentality that he could sleep even if he was hungry, but after living in a cave with Baek Muhan for five years, eating moss, he realized how wonderful human food was.

But…

The bed was too comfortable.

Although he knew he had to get up, his body did not move. It was because of the overwork. He had suffered much traveling from Wuhan to Luoyang.

When Wei Yanho doubted, I Sheolhwa looked around her and entered the room, placing the tray in front of the bed.

“Huh?”

Then, he took a couple of chopsticks, took a dumpling from the plate and approached it to Wei Yanho.

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho looked at the dumpling with a strange expression.

This was…

Having a dumpling approaching his mouth while lying was something Wei Yanho had always wanted.

All the loiters in the world must have thought it was a nuisance to have to eat with their own hands.

Ah, it would be wonderful if the food came into my mouth.

He could do it, but moving food with his martial skills was ten times harder than eating with his hands, so it was a dream he had to give up.

That dream was coming true.

But…

‘Do I feel strange?’

He felt that he was giving up his human dignity.

But eating with his own hands was the least an adult had to do.

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho’s mouth opened slightly while he doubted.

It wouldn’t always be like that.

There wouldn’t be many days in his life when he could be so lazy. I just had to accept the food this time.

When Wei Yanho opened his mouth, I Seolhwa gave him a dumpling without saying anything.

“Mmm…”

While he chewed dumpling, Wei Yanho realized one of life’s truths.

The most delicious food is what others make, and the most delicious food is what they feed you. He didn’t know why I Seolhwa was feeding him, but what else mattered if he could eat without using his hands? Just…

♪ Crash! ♪

At that moment, the door opened, and Gong Mujin entered, opening his eyes wide.

He saw Wei Yanho lying on the bed with his head off the blankets, eating dumplings I Sheolhwa gave him.

Gong Mujin and I Seolhwa looked at each other.

♪ Suddenly ♪

I Seolhwa, who rose quickly, bowed to Gong Mujin and ran out of the room.

“S… Sheol…”

Before he could call her, I Sheolhwa was gone.

“Hey, did she have to go to the bathroom?”

When Wei Yanho tilted his head, as if he did not understand, Gong Mujin smiled.

♪ Swish! ♪

“Hey, why are you pulling out your sword?”

Gong Mujin, smiling, ran to Wei Yanho and shouted.

“You will not take my disciple, you son of a bitch!”

Gong Mujin’s love for his disciples was unconditional.
