Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 304

# 304

“The Imperial Court? The imperial palace?”

Jangil exclaimed in surprise.

The imperial palace? What was the imperial palace doing here?

“Did you say the imperial palace?”

Wei Jeonghan also looked incredulous.

But Wei Yanho smiled calmly:

“This bandit is lying!”

Wei Yanho kicked Daehogun without warning and began to stomp on him, but no one tried to stop him.

“Lord! I’m not lying!”

“The most incompatible things are the imperial palace and Nokrim. What is the imperial palace doing playing with bandits?”

“It’s true!”

“Lies! Is the emperor crazy?”

“Watch your mouth! Be careful!”

Daehogun said indignantly:

“That’s why I said it was a secret!”

Wei Yanho slowly lowered his foot, seeing Daehogun’s sincere expression. That was not a feigned expression.

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“Sure?”

“Yes!”

“Are you angry?”

“Hehe, how could I be?”

Wei Jeonghan wiped his eyes.

Daehogun was feared as the grim reaper in that area, and he was respected throughout the martial world…

‘I’m sorry.’

For meeting my son.

Wei Jeonghan felt sadness, thinking that Daehogun had suffered because of his son.

“Step aside.”

Wei Jeonghan pushed Wei Yanho, who was hitting Daehogun, and said seriously:

“Tell me the truth. Why is the imperial palace looking for the Nokrim King?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Speak clearly!”

When Wei Jeonghan shouted, Daehogun said seriously:

“I don’t know. Suddenly, strange people appeared around the Nokrim King. I didn’t know them. When I asked the Nokrim King, he said they were from the imperial palace and that I shouldn’t say anything.”

Jangil said with a contorted face:

“Isn’t it possible that the Nokrim King was lying?”

“Insolent Beggar Sect! The Nokrim King never lies! Do you think he’s like you, the members of the Righteous Martial Alliance clans, who lie all the time?”

Jangil, who had been insulted, looked at Wei Yanho.

Wei Yanho smiled and consoled Jangil:

“Look, even bandits insult Beggar Sect.”

“Damn it!”

Jangil, who had tried to ask Wei Yanho for help, retreated in disgust.

Daehogun’s expression was too serious.

“Calm down.”

Wei Jeonghan summarized the situation:

“The Nokrim King I know isn’t like that. If he wasn’t going to say anything, he wouldn’t have lied.”

Wei Yanho tilted his head:

“Father, it seems that the dark martial arts clans and the Demon Cult are more manly. Father, are you really a member of the righteous clans and sects?”

“That’s right.”

Wei Jeonghan smiled bitterly.

He too had struggled to determine good and evil during the war.

Sometimes, his companions seemed worse than the enemies. He had struggled to stand firm.

He didn’t want his son to be like that. Wei Yanho would also have to face that someday, but he wanted to postpone it.

“You’re still…”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Huh?”

“My master said that people with high moral standards see the good in bad people, while my companions see the bad in good people.”

“Really?”

“He said that those people live difficult lives. Father, you’re like that. The people around you must have lived difficult lives.”

“…….”

He felt suddenly struck.

“In short, the Nokrim King isn’t lying, so there were definitely people related to the imperial palace, but we don’t know what they did or why they were there.”

Daehogun nodded enthusiastically.

“That’s right.”

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho scratched his cheek and looked at Wei Jeonghan.

“What do you say?”

“That’s right.”

Father and son looked at each other.

“Then…”

Wei Yanho seemed to be thinking and said:

“What do we do now?”

Wei Jeonghan groaned and looked at the Nokrim King. His appearance made him feel uncomfortable.

“To understand the situation, we must heal the Nokrim King.”

“Don’t you think?”

“Even if it weren’t for Daehogun’s request, if the imperial palace is interfering in the martial world, and if it’s involved with Nokrim, there must be a great conspiracy.”

“Yes, I agree.”

“Then, we must heal him.”

“Yes, right.”

“…….”

Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Yanho with an uncomfortable expression.

Doesn’t he know, or is he pretending?

It was difficult to tell, since he was skilled at avoiding problems.

“Do something.”

“What?”

“Treat him! Treat him! Treat him! Why did Daehogun bring you here if you can’t treat him, and why am I explaining this to you?”

Wei Yanho opened his eyes.

“You want me to treat him?”

“Yes!”

Wei Yanho tilted his head and looked at Wei Jeonghan.

“Do you feel unwell? It seems like you’re sick, not the Nokrim King.”

“Damn brat!”

Wei Jeonghan was about to lose his temper, but Daehogun and Gong Mujin stopped him.

“C… calm down.”

“Calm down, senior. It’s not the first time.”

“Ugh…”

Wei Jeonghan groaned and took a deep breath. He tried to calm down.

After calming down, Wei Jeonghan spoke:

“……Can’t you treat him?”

“That’s a complicated question. I don’t know what to say. Do you want me to treat this old man?”

“Yes! That!”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“If you want me to treat him, you should look for a doctor, why are you asking me?”

“Hey!”

Wei Jeonghan pointed at Wei Yanho.

“Do you think Daehogun is stupid? A martial arts expert is better at treating uncontrolled internal energy than a doctor, that’s why he brought you!”

“Huh? A martial arts expert can treat him?”

Wei Yanho opened his eyes as if it were the first time he had heard it.

“What kind of idea is that? Then what are doctors for?”

“Ugh.”

Wei Jeonghan hit his chest, and Wei Yanho smiled:

“Even if an expert can treat him, I have nothing to do with that.”

“Why?”

“Because I didn’t learn it.”

Wei Yanho said confidently:

“My master said he taught me how to deal with any danger in the martial world. Even though it seems like I haven’t learned anything, I already know it. But…”

“But?”

“As I said, my master had a bad temper. He was unique in his time. He wouldn’t have taught how to heal others! My master was like that!”

Was that an insult or a compliment?

Why was he so proud?

“Maybe you learned that method too.”

“No, that’s impossible.”

Wei Yanho waved his hand.

“Considering my master’s character, I doubt he knew how to heal others. He wouldn’t have wasted his time on that.”

Wei Jeonghan began to worry seriously.

Was Wei Yanho always like this?

Or was it the fault of the five years in the cave?

Wei Yanho was Lazy and irritating, but he wasn’t that bad before.

‘What kind of master was he?’

Before, he thought his master was wonderful for having made him an expert, but now he thought he had turned him into a terrible person.

“So there’s no solution?”

“Father, you keep saying nonsense.”

Wei Yanho said confidently:

“Would you want me to treat you if you were sick?”

“I’d rather die than be treated by you.”

“Yeah? Why are you imposing it on others? Even if this old man is unconscious, I don’t think it’s something you should do.”

Wei Yanho was even ruthless with himself.

But not everyone thought that way.

“W… what are you saying?”

Daehogun turned pale.

“D… do you mean you can’t treat him? That you don’t know how to treat uncontrolled internal energy?”

“Yes.”

“Ah…”

Daehogun collapsed as if the sky had fallen. He began to cry.

“Y… you can’t treat him. Khuh khuk.”

He was crying so much that even those who watched him felt sad.

Even Wei Sanho, who didn’t have good feelings towards the bandits, and Peng Dogeuk, who didn’t have good feelings towards Nokrim, had to admit Daehogun’s loyalty to the Nokrim King. They wouldn’t even cry that much if their parents died.

Wei Jeonghan sighed and said:

“Hey, there must be another way.”

Daehogun raised his head with his face full of tears and said:

“T… then…”

“Huh?”

“Why have I been beaten so much…?”

“…….”

“Why?!”

“…….”

“Khuh khuk.”

Wei Jeonghan smiled as he understood why Daehogun was crying and touched Wei Yanho’s shoulder.

“Yanho.”

“Huh?”

“He hasn’t been beaten enough. Hit him more.”

“Yes!”

Daehogun didn’t stop crying as he saw Wei Yanho approaching.

Knowledge is power, but superficial knowledge is poison. Meeting Wei Yanho was the beginning of his misfortune.
