Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 243

**Chapter 243: The Lazy Scam (3)**

‘Is he poisoned?’

It might be an illusion, a hope for a better situation. But it was a reasonable suspicion.

Above all, Wei Yanho’s unusual behavior reinforced his suspicions.

‘He’s definitely strange.’

Until now, Wei Yanho hadn’t tried to do anything in particular. He simply approached the opponent on the battlefield and threw them into the sky.

The fact that Wei Yanho didn’t move for a long time after going up to the battlefield was significant.

‘Jong-gyeok isn’t stupid.’

If he hadn’t trusted him, his uncle wouldn’t have entrusted him with the poisoning. Tang Jong-gyeok was the best at secret poisonings, even better than Tang Jong-ui.

After all, Tang Jong-gyeok was the one who took care of the clan’s dirty work, poisoning countless people.

So, the poisoning must have been successful.

Tang Jong-ui slowly straightened his shoulders.

Although he wasn’t sure yet, this situation was enough to try.

“Are you okay? You don’t look good.”

“Don’t worry. I have the strength to throw you.”

“Hahahaha.”

A smile appeared on Tang Jong-ui’s face.

‘It seems like HE isn’t okay.’

Wei Yanho didn’t seem to have a talent for oratory. An experienced warrior wouldn’t show his weakness so easily.

Although he couldn’t underestimate a warrior like Wei Yanho, even if he was poisoned, Tang Jong-ui noticed that Wei Yanho’s legs were trembling slightly.

‘What should I do?’

Should he trust in the Yin Yang Chohon and fight?

‘Impossible.’

Tang Jong-ui coldly assessed the difference in power between him and Wei Yanho. Even a rich family can survive three years, and an expert can fight until his death.

Even though Wei Yanho was poisoned, he wasn’t an easy opponent for Tang Jong-ui.

If he tried to attack him, he might die.

What should he do?

Tang Jong-ui was conflicted.

Normally, no poison he could use here would affect Wei Yanho.

And he wouldn’t dare to use poison.

Using poison in a duel is prohibited.

It was a disadvantage for the Tang family, but it was inevitable, since it was impossible to poison the opponent without causing him harm.

But Tang Jong-ui was tempted.

‘What should I do?’

With a hint of hope, and the idea that a member of the Tang family always carries poison, he had several poisons in his sleeves.

Normally, he wouldn’t dare to use those poisons on Wei Yanho, but now Wei Yanho was poisoned with Yin Yang Chohon.

So?

‘If I use these poisons appropriately, I can accelerate the poisoning. With his current condition, it won’t be difficult to make him lose consciousness.’

He could win using that.

Tang Jong-ui gritted his teeth.

‘What should I do?! What should I do?!’

It was a difficult decision. If he defeated Wei Yanho, his reputation would spread throughout the world. Furthermore, he would eliminate the biggest obstacle to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, elevating his position.

It was a sweet temptation.

Too sweet.

Tang Jong-ui smiled.

He had made a decision.

“Can you fight me in that state?”

“What do you care about my state?”

“Hahaha. Arrogance is good. But it’s not necessary.”

Tang Jong-ui straightened his chest.

‘I won’t use poison.’

His face was serious.

‘Where there is a sweet fragrance, there is a trap. I would prefer a clean defeat.’

Of course, he wanted to defeat Wei Yanho and become famous.

But that wasn’t a good strategy.

If Tang Jong-ui defeated Wei Yanho, people would be suspicious. Because Tang Jong-ui was no match for Wei Yanho.

Then, there would be a thorough investigation, and it might be discovered that the Tang family had used poison against Wei Yanho. That would be the worst.

‘I will win.’

Tang Jong-ui gritted his teeth.

He would lose today. But he wouldn’t lose anything. He had discovered that Wei Yanho was susceptible to poison. He could kill him at any time. That was enough.

“You’ve been thinking a lot. Go ahead!”

“One moment.”

Wei Yanho stepped back, showing an unusual weakness.

Tang Jong-ui frowned upon seeing that.

‘It seems the poison has reached his bones.’

If there weren’t any spectators, he would be happy, but there were many people watching. If it became known that Wei Yanho was sick, people would be suspicious.

Then, I will lose!

Tang Jong-ui, who decided to accept a temporary defeat to achieve a greater victory, took out flying needles from his sleeve.

But at that moment.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Wei Yanho suddenly started vomiting.

“Huh?”

“Uuk! Uuk! Uwaah!”

“Huh?”

Black blood gushed out of Wei Yanho’s mouth like a waterfall.

*Fsssh!*

When Wei Yanho’s blood touched the ground, the ground melted, creating white smoke.

“Huh?”

Tang Jong-ui’s eyes widened.

“A… a… a?”

Tang Jong-ui, who realized the situation, looked around in horror.

“Poison!”

“He’s poisoned!”

“I thought he was buying time, but he used poison! What a coward!”

Tang Jong-ui waved his hands.

“No, no, I didn’t…”

At that moment, Wei Yanho, with blood dripping from his mouth, said:

“Kuh, I didn’t realize you were using poison… incredible.”

“I never!”

Tang Jong-ui shouted.

He really hadn’t used poison. Where had this come from?

‘Yin Yang Chohon doesn’t do that!’

An acid that melts the ground! That has nothing to do with Yin Yang Chohon.

Those who know the Tang family’s poison would laugh, but no one here knows it, and the visual effect of the black blood melting the ground was incredible.

“What a powerful poison!”

“Did he try to kill him?”

“He used poison in a duel! How shameless! And such a powerful poison! When did the Tang family become so brazen?!”

The audience’s complaints echoed in Tang Jong-ui’s ears.

“No, no!”

He was going crazy, but the audience believed that Tang Jong-ui had poisoned Wei Yanho. When he was about to explain, the judge, with a hardened face, stood between Wei Yanho and Tang Jong-ui.

“Did you use poison?”

“No, no! I didn’t!”

“Then? Why is Wei Yanho poisoned?”

“I… I don’t know.”

“How shameless!”

When the judge was about to shout, Wei Yanho took the judge’s arm.

“Huh? Are you okay?”

Wei Yanho, with a pale face, nodded.

“…I’m okay.”

“Step back. You need medical treatment. The Tang family’s poison isn’t something easy. And these symptoms!”

Contempt appeared in the judge’s eyes.

‘I didn’t do it, you idiots!’

Of course, he used poison. But the Yin Yang Chohon had already been used yesterday, and that poison doesn’t cause those symptoms. Who would use a poison with such obvious symptoms for an assassination?

“It’s a conspiracy!”

Tang Jong-ui was sweating as he looked at Wei Yanho.

He hadn’t used poison. Although the Tang family had poisons that caused those symptoms, he didn’t prefer them. And Tang Jong-gyeok said he had only used Yin Yang Chohon.

Who poisoned Wei Yanho?

Only two people could do it.

One is Tang Myung. But Tang Myung wouldn’t do something so foolish. If someone who fought against the Tang family in Sichuan fainted from poison, everyone would be suspicious.

And the other…

‘R… really?’

Tang Jong-ui felt chills.

At that moment, Wei Yanho pushed the judge slightly.

“What are you doing?”

“The duel isn’t over yet.”

“Are you going to fight in that state?”

“Yes.”

“How foolish! You’re poisoned! Are you going to fight?! Since that guy used poison, you don’t need to fight.”

Although the judge spoke sincerely, Wei Yanho shook his head slowly, which made people uncomfortable.

“I didn’t see him use poison, so I can’t say he used it.”

“That’s the evidence!”

“No matter how you fight, it’s my fault if I lose. I’ll fight cleanly.”

“You…”

The judge trembled as he looked at Wei Yanho.

He seemed excited to see a true warrior after a long time. The audience was also surprised.

“He says he will continue the duel!”

“Why? He’s poisoned.”

“He says it’s his fault because he didn’t see them use poison.”

“Incredible! How can he be so inflexible? He really is the son of the Sword of the Righteous Hero.”

“……Is that an insult or a compliment?”

“That doesn’t matter now!”

Tang Jong-ui was going crazy.

‘What is happening?’

If the duel stopped, he could ask for an investigation. He could ask them to check the poison in Wei Yanho’s body, since he hadn’t used poison.

But now, he had no reason to do so. Who would dare to say anything when Wei Yanho says he’s okay?

Whether he won or lost, people would remember that the Tang family had used poison.

‘No!’

He had to give up to resolve the situation. This was no longer about the duel. The Tang family’s reputation was at stake.

“Alright. If the participant says so, I have no reason to stop it. Continue the duel!”

When the judge stepped back, Wei Yanho stood up with difficulty.

Tang Jong-ui, who wanted to prevent the situation from unfolding as Wei Yanho wanted, raised his hand and shouted:

“I, give up…”

At that moment.

Wei Yanho approached Tang Jong-ui in an instant.

‘Huh!’

Tang Jong-ui saw…

The malicious smile on Wei Yanho’s face.

‘This scammer!’

And Wei Yanho’s fist struck Tang Jong-ui’s stomach.
