Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 239

**Chapter 239: The Lazy One Encounters (4)**

‘That’s it!’

Tang Jong-gyeok (當從激) rejoiced. His hands were clenched.

Seeing Wei Yanho eating voraciously, he felt thrilled.

‘What a fool.’

Tang Jong-gyeok clicked his tongue as he looked at Wei Yanho.

‘That’s why they can never beat us.’

Warriors were incredibly foolish. They believed that the only way to defeat an opponent was to fight with weapons, and that’s why they couldn’t beat the Tang family, who used any method.

That’s how it was now.

Even if Tang Jong-gyeok could fly, he couldn’t touch Wei Yanho in a direct fight. But now, Tang Jong-gyeok had control of Wei Yanho’s life.

“Kuku kuku.”

Tang Jong-gyeok felt excitement every time Wei Yanho’s chopsticks touched the food.

‘What a fool.’

The most important thing when using poison in the Tang family was not the effectiveness of the poison, but the precision of the target.

If they poisoned someone by accident, they wouldn’t be worthy of being called an honorable sect. They had to be able to eliminate the target with precision.

To be honest, they had suffered near extinction several times for poisoning the wrong people, so they were more careful.

That’s why Tang Jong-gyeok didn’t do something as foolish as poisoning the food. Unless Wei Yanho ate alone, he would share the food with someone, and if two people got sick at the same time, they would suspect poison.

‘I Seolhwa…’

Tang Jong-gyeok licked his lips.

He didn’t want to see her die. The most important reason was that Mount Hua was a problem for the Tang family.

If they only eliminated Wei Yanho, only Wei Jeonghan and Wei Sanho would remain, and they wouldn’t be a threat. Although Wei Jeonghan is known as the Sword of the Righteous Hero, the Tang family had at least ten warriors with similar or superior ability.

And although Wei Sanho is considered the best warrior of the future, that’s in the future.

Ideally, it wouldn’t be discovered that he had done this, but even if it was discovered, the Tang family could handle it.

But Mount Hua was a problem. He had to prevent I Seolhwa from suffering.

‘Hahahaha.’

It might be difficult for others, but not for Tang Jong-gyeok. He was a poison expert, capable of poisoning one person among thousands.

His method was simple.

First, he would spray a basic poison on Wei Yanho’s chopsticks. But it shouldn’t cause an immediate attack. Although Wei Yanho would use the chopsticks alone, the poison could transfer to the food.

Poisoning the dishes is something only the inexperienced do.

‘Yes, drink.’

Wei Yanho, who was eating voraciously, picked up a cup of tea and drank.

‘That’s it!’

Tang Jong-gyeok smiled with satisfaction.

It’s already done.

He had focused on Wei Yanho’s cup. He had applied poison there.

To avoid suspicion, the Tang family had some secret poisons. One of them was Yin Yang Chohon (陰痒招魂).

Yin Yang Chohon is made from two poisons. The interesting thing is that neither poison is actually a poison.

Neither poison causes problems on its own, but when combined, they become a lethal poison.

When the poison on the chopsticks and the poison in the cup combined in Wei Yanho’s stomach, he would die.

And now, the two poisons were combining in Wei Yanho’s stomach.

Tang Jong-gyeok felt an indescribable excitement.

Normally, he couldn’t dream of facing Wei Yanho before mastering Wancheon Hwau (萬天花雨) ten times. But he could kill even stronger warriors.

That was being proven now.

Feeling the warmth in his stomach, Tang Jong-gyeok began to prepare to leave. If Wei Yanho collapsed, people would suspect poison.

If they didn’t find anything when examining the dishes, the suspicions would disappear, but if it was discovered that he had been in the kitchen, everything would be ruined.

So he should leave…

‘Just a little more.’

Tang Jong-gyeok couldn’t leave.

Although he knew he should leave, he couldn’t move because he hadn’t completed his final ritual.

Watching the expression of pain on poisoned people was his rule.

‘Come on, come on.’

Tang Jong-gyeok looked at Wei Yanho anxiously.

He was sure he could kill even the Sword Saint of the Plum Blossom if he poisoned Wei Yanho correctly.

So Wei Yanho couldn’t survive.

If he died from the poison, it would be perfect, and if he weakened, he would give up the tournament or die in the duel.

Either option was fine. As long as he was poisoned!

At that moment, Wei Yanho grimaced and raised his head.

“Owner!”

The voice that echoed in the building made everyone look at Wei Yanho.

Even I Seolhwa was surprised to see Wei Yanho shout.

“What’s wrong?”

“One moment.”

I Seolhwa asked, but Wei Yanho said firmly:

“Stop eating.”

“Huh?”

“Stop eating.”

I Seolhwa, who also realized that something was wrong, put down her chopsticks when Wei Yanho said that seriously.

Soon after, the pale owner ran towards Wei Yanho. Wei Yanho grimaced when he saw the chubby owner.

‘Something’s wrong.’

The owner, who observed Wei Yanho’s expression, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The young man was wearing a warrior uniform, and the young woman sitting in front of him was wearing a Mount Hua uniform. The owner, who had lived at the foot of Mount Hua for decades, couldn’t mistake the Mount Hua uniforms.

In other words, a warrior with enough status to eat with a Mount Hua disciple was angry.

He had been working with warriors for a long time, and he knew how dangerous they could be.

He had seen buildings fly several times.

“Sir, what’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?”

Wei Yanho looked at the owner with disgust. The owner clutched his heart when he saw that expression.

‘I’m done for.’

That expression alone showed how bad-tempered he was.

“Who made this?”

“Th… this?”

“Who made this food?”

“Ah…”

The owner looked at the food seriously. When warriors react like this, there is only one reason.

‘Now that I think about it…’

The usual cook hadn’t come today because he was sick. He had recommended someone else.

‘This isn’t normal.’

The new cook. And Wei Yanho’s reaction.

If someone who knows the martial world doesn’t realize what’s happening, they don’t deserve to have an inn at the foot of Mount Hua.

“A new cook has arrived.”

“Bring him.”

“…Sir.”

“I’m telling you to bring him.”

The owner was crying.

“It’s just that…”

“Huh?”

When Wei Yanho’s expression turned stern, the owner sighed.

It seems someone had poisoned the food, but how was he going to catch the culprit? If he said something wrong, he would die.

But it seems he wasn’t going to die. When he looked at the kitchen, he saw a stranger peeking out.

“H… him! He arrived today!”

“Oh?”

Wei Yanho’s eyes gleamed.

‘Damn it.’

Tang Jong-gyeok began to sweat.

‘This isn’t what I planned…’

He missed the opportunity to escape. If he tried to escape, Wei Yanho would chase him. Unfortunately, he wasn’t strong enough to escape from Wei Yanho.

‘There’s no evidence.’

Since there was no evidence that he had used poison, Wei Yanho couldn’t punish him. So the best thing was to leave.

His mask was so perfect that no one could recognize him, and no poison could be found in the food.

Although he wondered why Wei Yanho hadn’t gotten sick yet, that didn’t matter now.

“Come here.”

Tang Jong-gyeok walked towards the table as if hypnotized when Wei Yanho snapped his fingers. He felt his strength leaving him when he saw Wei Yanho’s piercing gaze.

“Why… are you doing this?”

“Did you make this food?”

“…Yes. Is there a problem?”

Wei Yanho’s body trembled. Then he pointed to the food.

“Eat it.”

“Huh?”

“Eat it.”

Tang Jong-gyeok’s body trembled slightly.

‘Did he really realize?’

Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask him to eat the food.

“Won’t you eat it?”

Wei Yanho’s voice rose.

‘No. The food is fine.’

The poison was on his chopsticks and his teacup. So the food was fine. He had to eat the food to avoid suspicion…

‘Just in case.’

If any drop of tea splashed on the food that Wei Yanho had touched, there would be no escape. Yin Yang Chohon has no antidote. Even Dang Jong-gyeok, who was resistant to poison, couldn’t survive.

“Won’t you eat it?”

“No, no. I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it!”

When Dang Jong-gyeok took the plate with trembling hands, Wei Yanho suddenly stood up.

“You!”

Tang Jong-gyeok realized that something was wrong when Wei Yanho looked at him furiously.

That look was full of murderous intent.

‘I’ve been discovered.’

Escape!

That was the only way to survive. When Tang Jong-gyeok turned to escape, his vision went dark.

‘Huh?’

At that moment, the plate that Wei Yanho had thrown hit Tang Jong-gyeok’s face.

Tang Jong-gyeok, who was thrown into the air by the Sichuan fried chicken, heard Wei Yanho’s shout.

“Did you make this for people to eat?! One gold coin food!”

‘Ah…’

That was the problem.

That.
