Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 241

**Chapter 242: The Lazy Swindler (2)**

“Yanho!”

Wei Sanho rushed towards Wei Yanho, who had raised his head, and grabbed his shoulders.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, but…”

“Are you physically okay? Do you feel weak? Your inner energy? Is your inner energy okay?”

“…If you shake me a little more, I might die.”

Wei Sanho coughed and removed his hands from Wei Yanho’s shoulders.

Wei Yanho looked at Jangil with piercing eyes.

“Hey, beggar.”

“Huh?”

“Did you say it was the Tang family?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

Jangil scratched his cheek, as if he was hesitating, and sighed.

“If you ask me if I’m sure, my answer is a bit vague. If you had shown signs of poisoning, I would have done my best to catch him and take off his mask, but you were too well, so there was no way to confirm it. Even if I’m sure, there’s nothing I can do if they don’t admit it.”

“I’m asking you your opinion. Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. But that is Jangil’s opinion, not the leader of the Beggar Sect.”

Jangil spoke seriously.

“Really?”

Wei Yanho stood up slowly.

“One moment.”

Jin Yeran took Wei Yanho’s wrist as he tried to get up. After checking his pulse and complexion, she nodded.

“It seems you’ll be fine. But you should be careful for a couple of days.”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho knew it was best to listen to the doctor. He had to respect the opinion of experts in matters he didn’t know.

Like when he first asked for money and consulted a beggar.

“……Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Ah, it’s just that there are useless people even in their own field.”

“Before I met you, I was living well”

“If living as a beggar is living well, there is no one living poorly in this world.”

“Ugh.”

You can’t win with words.

Jangil didn’t care what Jangil thought, Wei Yanho didn’t hide his bad mood.

“So… the Tang family?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Yes, the Tang family.”

“Ugh.”

One must understand what the other person is saying.

“Don’t worry.”

“Huh?”

“I won’t let them feel safe.”

“Oh?”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho expectantly. Based on Wei Yanho’s past actions, he wasn’t foolish. He was very smart, but in a bad way.

“What evil are you planning?”

“Evil?”

“It’s obvious.”

Wei Sanho, who had been observing the situation, asked:

“What will you do?”

“I have no immediate plans.”

“Are you going to ignore it?”

“Me?”

Wei Yanho sneered.

“My master said that one should never forget a grudge. You must return the favor by half and the grudge by double.”

“…Your master said that?”

“Yes.”

Although Wei Yanho answered calmly, Wei Sanho doubted what he said. Masters usually guide their disciples on the right path, but this…

“Anyway!”

Wei Yanho interrupted.

“Hey, beggar.”

“I’m Jangil!”

“Yes, beggar.”

“…What’s up?”

“The guys from the Tang family must also be participating in this tournament.”

“Really?”

“When will I fight them?”

Jangil’s eyes trembled slightly.

‘He’s very smart, but in a bad way.’

Jangil checked the match-up chart and smiled.

“There are two members of the Tang family left.”

“Two?”

“One is Tang Jong-ui. The heir to the Tang family.”

“Oh?”

“The other is Tang Jong-min, Tang Jong-ui’s brother.”

“And Tang Jong-gyeok?”

“He is a distant relative.”

Jangil said firmly:

“He doesn’t compare to Tang Jong-ui or Tang Jong-min. He played an important role in this incident, but the Tang family won’t care if he is killed.”

“They commissioned that guy with the poisoning?”

“They didn’t commission the poisoning, that’s why they commissioned him. They can’t get rid of Tang Jong-ui or Tang Jong-min if something goes wrong. Tang Jong-gyeok knows he is being used, but he agrees because he will gain the trust of superiors if he does the job.”

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho scratched his head.

“So, Tang Jong-ui and Tang Jong-gyeok are participating in the tournament?”

“Tang Jong-ui and Tang Jong-min! I just told you!”

“Why do they have such similar names?”

“They are brothers!”

Jangil grabbed his chest and took a deep breath. He felt that he wouldn’t live long if he continued with Wei Yanho.

‘I must leave.’

If it continued like this, his life would be shortened by a year per day. He preferred to be unconscious from the poison.

‘Huh?’

Jangil tilted his head and said:

“Are you okay?”

“What?”

“You are poisoned. How can you be so well?”

“Well? It’s the first time my stomach has hurt in ten years!”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho in disbelief.

‘He was poisoned with a deadly poison, but his stomach only hurt.’

And he recovered quickly.

It’s incredible how he overcame the poison.

‘What is his body made of?’

He is an incredible guy.

“My master said…”

“…Your master talked a lot.”

“He was talkative.”

Wei Yanho agreed. Baek Muhan talked a lot. Even while hitting Wei Yanho, he never shut up.

Thanks to that, Wei Yanho could remember everything he said while hitting him. If he couldn’t remember what he said, he would be hit again.

‘Well, even if I remember, I get hit.’

It seems that they hit him no matter what. If he wasn’t a ghost, it would be a case of child abuse.

“Anyway, my master said that there is a way to defeat poison.”

“What?”

“The reason people die from snake venom is… because they are weaker than the venom!”

“……What?”

It was the same word, but the meaning was different.

What nonsense is that?

“So, if I am stronger than the poison, it won’t be able to do anything to me. So I just need to be stronger!”

“…It’s like saying: ‘To win a fight, you shouldn’t get hit.’ ”

“But that’s what’s scary about my master.”

He always wondered how much he should believe his master, but according to his master, he had once drunk tea with an invisible poison from the Tang family.

But since his body was so strong, he didn’t realize he was poisoned until the people around him started to collapse.

Of course, the poison couldn’t affect his master, but he had to clean the poison from his body.

‘That’s almost a legend.’

After cleaning the poison, he went to the Tang family, but the leader of the Tang family said that they had not poisoned anyone, and they beat him all day.

‘That’s typical of my master.’

Of course, he must have exaggerated. His master always lied.

Anyway, it was significant that the master and disciple had similar experiences. So he should make the Tang family also have a similar experience.

“When will I fight Tang Jong-ui?”

“You?”

“Yes.”

“Tomorrow.”

“…Eh?”

When Wei Yanho tilted his head, Jangil smiled maliciously.

“Your next opponent is Tang Jong-ui.”

***

Tang Jong-ui looked at the sky in disbelief.

‘What’s going on?’

Tang Jong-gyeok, who had said that he would leave Wei Yanho to him, was suffering from indigestion.

It was incredible that a member of the Tang family, who ruled the world, suffered from indigestion, but he had to accept it upon seeing Tang Jong-gyeok’s swollen stomach.

Even while unconscious, Tang Jong-gyeok had warned him to be careful with Wei Yanho.

‘Careful?’

Good advice.

Yes, I must be careful.

Honestly, he didn’t want to fight someone like Wei Yanho. Who would want to fight someone who throws people into other mountains?

And he is a member of the Tang family.

In a one-on-one duel, even against a warrior of the same level, the Tang family always lost. They could use poison and hidden weapons in large-scale battles or surprise attacks, but…

‘Not in a duel.’

Honestly, why use hidden weapons if they are going to fight directly? If it were a weapon to use like that, it wouldn’t be called a hidden weapon.

The correct use of a hidden weapon is to use it secretly to kill the opponent. It is not to use it in broad daylight.

But who will notice?

Tang Jong-ui slowly lowered his head. Many people were looking at him. They were probably wondering what kind of scream he would give and on what mountain he would fall.

‘Even I’m curious.’

Warriors cannot surrender, even if defeat is obvious. For someone in his position, running away is more shameful than losing. If he runs away, he will lose his position as heir to his brother.

He couldn’t let people say that the leader of the Tang family was a coward.

“Haaaaaaa…”

When he climbed onto the battlefield after sighing deeply, Wei Yanho looked at him and smiled.

“Hello?”

Seeing Wei Yanho greeting him with a smile, he felt like insulting him.

How cheerful. I’m about to die.

‘What a fool.’

If he was going to use poison, he should have done it correctly. He shouldn’t have let his opponent climb onto the battlefield.

‘Huh?’

At that moment, Tang Jong-ui noticed something strange.

‘Tang Jong-gyeok said he had used a potent poison.’

Yin Yang Chohon was not an easy poison to resist with martial arts. If used correctly, it could kill anyone.

Furthermore, Wei Yanho was different today.

Wei Yanho, who had never climbed onto the battlefield first, was waiting there.

What?

Tang Jong-ui’s eyes narrowed.
