Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 46

Chapter 46

“Mmm?”

Gok Bi-hang bowed his head, not understanding why the man in green robe was pointing to Wei Yan-ho.

“What’s wrong with that guy?”

“…It’s someone our escort agency is transporting to.”

“Transporting?”

The answer came from the top of the car.

“I’m a burden.”

“……”

“……”

Both the man in green robes and Gok Bi-hang were speechless.

Gok Bi-hang ran out of words on how to explain this situation to the man in green robes, and the man in green robe could not open his mouth because he did not understand what it was about.

“……what kind of nonsense is this?”

Gok Bi-hang whispered to the man in green robe.

His body is sick and his mind is not quite well either, so we’ll take him to a doctor. You don’t have to worry about him.

“Mmm……”

The man in green robe looked at Wei Yan-ho and nodded.

“His face certainly seems empty.”

“Indeed, it does.”

Wei Yan-ho screamed loudly.

“What’s wrong with my face?”

But neither the green robe man nor Gok Bi-hang paid more attention to Wei Yan-ho.

“And what did you say? That you didn’t have to be at odds with the Green Forest?”

– Sure. Why would we do such stupidity?

“There is certainly no reason for that.”

“So do you believe us?”

“Believing or not believing is not the problem. The problem is that something has already happened. Because of that guy in the cart. I definitely asked if you saw someone dressed in red, right?”

Everyone turned to look at the cart.

No, more precisely, they looked at Wei Yan-ho on top of the car.

“But do I wear white clothes?”

Wei Yan-ho shook his hands as if he wanted to say it was absolutely not him.

I didn’t want unnecessary misunderstandings.

“…That person wears white clothes, doesn’t he?”

Gok Bi-hang also helped Wei Yan-ho.

But the man in green robes seemed not to pay attention to his words.

If you don’t get out, I’ll take you out myself, or you’d rather watch everyone die here?

Once again, everyone looked at Wei Yan-ho.

Wei Yan-ho felt aggrieved.

“I tell you it’s not me!”

Gok Bi-hang looked at Wei Yan-ho.

It was natural to act as if he really felt wronged to death.

At that moment, the man dressed in green drew his sword.

“Are you trying to play with me?”

The expression of Gok Bi-hang was overshadowed. The man in green robe seemed to know everything. That reaction would not occur unless he knew someone was hiding inside the cart.

But I couldn’t let go of the last thread. I knew if they caught them like this, it wouldn’t end with Peng Daoji’s simple delivery.

“I say it again, we…”

While Gok Bi-hang tried again to make excuses, the man in green robe carried his sword to Gok Bi-hang’s mouth.

“……”

Gok Bi-hang’s mouth closed like a clam. The man in green robe, who had smiled discreetly at him, lowered his sword and spoke.

“Then let’s do it this way.”

The man dressed in green smiled coldly.

If no one’s seen her, I’ll kill someone else, if I keep killing like that, I’ll know if they’re really innocent.

Gok Bi-hang screamed in shock.

“What kind of…!”

Just a few moments ago I would have wanted to keep my mouth shut after a sword pointed at him, but such shocking words made him scream unintentionally.

“I guarantee that before I kill three people, someone will say they saw it.”

Gok Bi-hang made excuses desperately.

I don’t know why the Green Forest thus oppresses our Fast Dragon Escort Agency! We’ve never had any conflict with the Green Forest!

“That’s none of my business.”

“But…”

Gok Bi-hang ran out of words.

The man in green robe looked at Gok Bi-hang in silence before opening his mouth.

“Not taking it out means everyone is ready to die, right?”

The gentle words of the man in green robes clearly pierced his ears.

“If you get it out, I will spare your life.”

Gok Bi-hang was in conflict for a moment.

Should I hand over Peng Daoji and live, or should I die protecting him?

The answer seemed too obvious.

However, there was one thing that bothered him.

If they were sure he was here, they would have attacked him without asking any questions, but why do they keep threatening like that?

Maybe they weren’t sure Peng Daoji was here.

Gok Bi-hang decided to bet on that.

I don’t even know what you’re talking about right now!

“Kekeke.”

The man in green robe laughed at Gok Bi-hang and raised his sword.

– Okay, so who’s gonna die first?

“Really…”

Before Gok Bi-hang could finish speaking, the green man pointed to Jaeng Ja-su, who was sitting in the cargo cart.

“You.”

Jaeng Ja-su screamed in surprise.

“A-me, sir?”

“Come here.”

“My lord, I…”

“Do you want to die fast?”

Jaeng Ja-su ran forward desperately, with his hands shaking.

The man dressed in green took the sword to his throat.

Answer me. Have you ever seen a young man dressed in red?

“Yp…”

“Your life depends on this one answer.”

Jaeng Ja-su trembled completely and then looked at Gok Bi-hang. As he crossed eyes with Gok Bi-hang, Jaeng Ja-su remained terrified for a long moment before responding with trembling lips.

“We-we didn’t see anything……”

“Then you can die.”

The man’s sword in green robes went through Jaeng Ja-su’s throat.

At the same time, Gok Bi-hang grabbed the sword at his waist.

At that moment!

“He’s here.”

The man dressed in green stopped his hand and turned his head.

Where his gaze fell, there was Wei Yan-ho sitting in charge.

The man dressed in green spoke to Wei Yan-ho.

“What did you say?”

Wei Yan-ho took the dream away from his eyes and said.

Stop oppressing innocent people and just take whoever you’ve come to capture.

Gok Bi-hang screamed angry.

“You, what are you doing right now?”

But Wei Yan-ho firmly interrupted Gok Bi-hang’s words.

“Stop it, sir.”

Will it be by some unknowable weight in those words?

Gok Bi-hang could no longer speak and shut his mouth.

“There is nothing stupider than losing your life because of someone else. Living uncomfortably is a hundred times better than dying cleanly.”

Gok Bi-hang looked at Wei Yan-ho with an expression of pity.

Where was there any guarantee that these people would safely pass the escort mission just because they handed over Peng Daoji?

“Hey, you got caught. Get out!”

Wei Yan-ho said this, but there was no answer.

“Will you leave after everyone here dies?”

Then the charge moved.

And from within, Peng Daoji revealed himself. “With resolute expression, he removed the burden and came out.”

The man in green robe looked at Peng Daoji and smiled coldly.

“You would have had at least a small chance to survive if you had run away, but you’re stupidly crawling.”

“If I had done that, you would have killed everyone here.”

“Are you trying to imitate a knightly hero?”

Peng Daoji let a low snorting slip away.

“I, Peng Daoji, may not be a knightly hero, but I’m not such a mean person to sit around watching innocent people die because of me.”

“A small rat running frantically sure to speak well.”

Peng Daoji bowed with his fists hollowed out towards Gok Bi-hang.

Thank you for your help. Since this seems to be a problem that I must solve myself, please continue your path.

Gok Bi-hang couldn’t say anything in response.

“Your goal is me, so if I leave, there should be no problem for your escort agency.”

“But young hero, you…”

“I’ll be fine.”

Peng Daoji smiled slightly and then turned his head.

“It would be difficult to avoid them anyway.”

The man dressed in green spoke.

“Was the Escorts Agency Swift Dragon?”

Gok Bi-hang responded surprised.

“That’s right.”

“Forget everything you saw, otherwise the Dragon Fast Escort Agency will disappear.”

The conflict appeared on Gok Bi-hang’s face.

Certainly, opposing these men dressed in green who stood in front of them was like crashing an egg into a rock.

Besides, even if they were defeated, nothing good would come of it.

Given the nature of escort agencies that always had to deal with the Green Forest, making enemies was synonymous with not wanting to do business.

But if they turned around and left like that, Peng Daoji would surely die.

Gok Bi-hang had no choice but to feel conflicted about this fact.

Peng Daoji guessed Gok Bi-hang’s feelings and eased his burden.

“Don’t worry about me.”

“But…”

“This is something I myself have sought.”

Gok Bi-hang’s expression was overshadowed. Having to turn around knowing that a young martial hero would lose his life was too heartbreaking.

“Please leave quickly. Otherwise, we will have to bury our bones here. Forget what you saw.”

Gok Bi-hang let a deep sigh escape.

Anyway, they couldn’t do anything. Gok Bi-hang finally let go of the grip of the sword he was grasping hard.

“Then I wish you good luck in the war.”

“Fortuna martial.”

Gok Bi-hang opened his mouth with a bitter expression.

“Get ready, we’re leaving.”

Jaeng Ja-su and the escorts got back in the car with uncomfortable expressions.

They also understood the situation, but could not fight alongside Peng Daoji.

“Hey…”

At that moment a low voice was heard from the top of the car.

“That won’t do.”

Gok Bi-hang closed his mouth. He would normally have ignored those words, but curiously, he was uncomfortable.

“What are you talking about?”

The voice sounded again from the top of the car.

“You’re trying to go over there right now, towards those green guys.”

Gok Bi-hang frowned.

When an adult talks, he should at least sit down and talk.

What kind of education was it to lie there and have a conversation using only your voice?

Even in this situation, Gok Bi-hang couldn’t tell if it was strange that he cared about manners, or if it was strange that that guy was chatting while lying down without getting up.

Gok Bi-hang asked while hiding his inner thoughts.

“Then?”

“Obviously they will come after us with swords, and then all will die.”

Gok Bi-hang’s expression hardened.

“Why would they attack us?”

“Oh, Mr. Chief Guard, you’ve been through all kinds of battles, so why are you so clueless? That person is from the Peng family, right?

“……that’s right.”

“As big as the Green Forest, they wouldn’t want to face the Peng Family. But what if we came back alive and someone mentioned that a member of the Peng Family was killed by the Green Forest? What would happen then? All members of the Peng Family would draw their swords and search through all the mountains, so instead of allowing that to happen, they would try to kill us all.”

Gok Bi-hang’s face turned pale.

He turned his head to look at men dressed in green.

The man in green robe who said he’d let them go a few moments ago seemed to think of something and then nodded.

“That’s certainly true.”

Shing.

You could hear the sound of swords being drawn.

All who surrounded the man dressed in green had drawn his swords.

“I hadn’t really thought that far, but it makes sense.”

At the words of the man in green robe, Gok Bi-hang’s head turned abruptly.

His eyes, staring at the top of the cart, were full of murderous intentions.

‘This fucking bastard!’

If Wei Yan-ho hadn’t said those words, it looked like they’d really let them go!

Oh, you didn’t think of that?

That was it.

No more noises were heard from the top of the car.

‘That bastard sword meat!’

Gok Bi-hang was foaming through his mouth.
