Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 309

Chapter 309: The Lazy One is Captured (4)

Wei Yanho clicked his tongue at the sight.

“Even if he’s foolish, how could he think of putting someone in a box?”

The box didn’t look that big; if someone was put in there, their arms and legs must be numb. Unless it’s a very small person or a woman-

“Since they are poor, they have strange ideas.”

“I don’t think it’s just because of that…”

“Have you heard of anyone rich doing that?”

Although he had never heard of it.

Wei Yanho looked for the cause of everything in the absence of something, as if he believed in the theory of the non-existence of everything. He sighed. He didn’t feel sorry for the eunuch, but there were people who had lost something unwillingly.

Yosong removed the cloth surrounding the box, lifted it, and placed it in front of Wei Yanho and Wei Jeonghan.

“Hmm?”

“Open it.”

“You’re being too complicated for something so simple.”

“…You’ll see why.”

Wei Yanho looked at Yosong and nodded. He didn’t want to waste time talking.

Wei Yanho opened the box immediately and widened his eyes.

“Huh?”

There was a person inside, as Yosong had said.

He wasn’t surprised by that. What surprised him was that it was a woman.

And not just any woman…

“…She looks familiar.”

“Mmph!”

The woman, with a gag in her mouth and her hands tied, frowned at the light and began to tremble at the sight of Wei Yanho.

“Mmph! Mmph!”

“Hmm. So…”

Wei Yanho made eye contact with the woman, who was looking at him urgently, and smiled kindly.

*Thud!*

He closed the lid of the box and wrapped it with cloth.

Wei Yanho wiped the sweat from his brow as he looked at the box in its original state.

“I almost got into trouble.”

“No! What are you doing?!”

“Father, there’s something dangerous inside. Let’s get down from the mountain.”

“What…?”

Wei Jeonghan widened his eyes.

His son did strange things, but today he seemed crazier than ever.

“There’s a person inside, why are you closing it?!”

“It’s not a person!”

“Then what?”

“How should I put it? A new being filled with evil? You won’t get a good answer if you open it. Leaving it like this is the best way to avoid problems…”

“You damn brat!”

Wei Jeonghan hit Wei Yanho’s head with the scabbard of his sword.

Wei Yanho clutched his head and stepped back.

“I warned you!”

“…Damn it.”

Wei Jeonghan sighed, cut the cloth, and opened the box. A young woman with a red face was tied up inside.

“I’ll free you, don’t worry.”

The woman nodded enthusiastically.

As soon as she was freed, she took off the gag and shouted angrily:

“Damn it! Why did you close it?!”

Wei Yanho shrugged upon hearing her.

“You see.”

Wei Jeonghan looked at the woman and Wei Yanho in disbelief.

“……Do you know each other?”

***

“Kukukukukuk.”

“……”

“Kukukukukuk.”

“……”

Supreme Sovereign Sima Tianse trembled at the sight of Master of Divine Abilities, who had been laughing ominously.

‘Lately, he seems very strange…’

The Supreme Sovereign had never appreciated scholars. He thought those who only read books were sinister.

Master of Divine Abilities had changed his opinion. He was a scholar, but he didn’t seem sinister, and he was even bolder than the warriors.

After meeting Master of Divine Abilities, the Supreme Sovereign realized that a person’s personality was more important than their environment or profession.

But…

“Kukukukukuk.”

Seeing Master of Divine Abilities laughing sinisterly while reading the report, the Supreme Sovereign began to doubt.

‘Scholars are sinister.’

It’s just a matter of how well they hide it.

Who would have imagined that Master of Divine Abilities would be like this?

“Khuh khum.”

When Kwon Geuk coughed, Master of Divine Abilities raised his head.

“Hmm…”

Master of Divine Abilities, who seemed to have realized his mistake, calmed down, but he couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes. His eyes were smiling, but his mouth was serious…

‘It’s strange.’

He didn’t know if it was the office of Master of Divine Abilities or the hideout of a dark martial arts leader.

“What’s making you so happy?”

“……Did I seem happy?”

“You seemed very happy.”

“Khum, misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding…?”

No one would believe him with that expression.

The Supreme Sovereign, who never thought he would see the sinister side of Master of Divine Abilities, frowned.

“It must be about Wei Yanho.”

Master of Divine Abilities was surprised:

“H… how did you know?”

“Hey!”

The Supreme Sovereign hit his chest in frustration.

“Would you have that expression if it wasn’t about Wei Yanho?”

“H… ha ha…”

“It’s strange.”

The Supreme Sovereign said in disbelief as he watched Master of Divine Abilities trying to disguise it:

“You’ve always been calm. I don’t understand why you’re losing your composure over a young man.”

“Khuh khum.”

Master of Divine Abilities blushed slightly.

“Okay, what’s going on?”

“I received a response to my letter.”

“The letter about the person who could control Wei Yanho?”

“Yes. Hahahaha.”

Doubt appeared on the Supreme Sovereign’s face as Master of Divine Abilities smiled.

‘Someone who can control Wei Yanho…’

It was strange, but even the Supreme Sovereign couldn’t control Wei Yanho. Who could control someone that even his father couldn’t control?

“Hey, I heard that even Yi Wangya, the Second Prince, couldn’t control him. Wei Yanho isn’t afraid of anyone. Is there someone who can control him?”

“Hahaha, Yi Wangya can’t.”

“Hmm?”

“Authority is possible due to harm. It’s a matter of what harm they will suffer if they disobey you.”

“Hmm…”

Master of Divine Abilities frowned slightly:

“It’s regrettable, but Wei Yanho is very powerful at a young age. It’s difficult to control him with authority.”

“True.”

“If someone tries to control him by force, he counterattacks, he’s already rich, and he doesn’t want anything else…”

“That’s what I said.”

“Hahahaha, but there are people who cannot be controlled like that.”

Kwon Geuk widened his eyes.

People who cannot be controlled like that?

“Someone who can destroy everything Wei Yanho has and ruin his life with a single word can control him.”

“R… really…”

The Supreme Sovereign’s face turned pale.

Not even Yi Wangya could do it.

But there was only one person in Central Plains who could do it.

“Really, you…?”

“Hahahahahahaha.”

Master of Divine Abilities laughed strangely:

“You brat! Do you plan to rest after causing trouble? I can’t allow that. Die with me!”

The Supreme Sovereign smiled slightly as he watched Master of Divine Abilities laugh.

‘I must change my strategist.’

This guy is crazy.

***

Wei Jeonghan asked as he watched the woman come out of the box. The woman, who had glared at Wei Yanho furiously, looked at Wei Jeonghan.

‘Huh?’

The woman, who was furious and looked like she was about to hit Wei Yanho, changed her attitude when she looked at Wei Jeonghan.

Wei Jeonghan felt her nobility and straightened his body.

“I made a mistake by getting angry in front of you. I am immature and don’t know when to get angry and when not to, so please forgive me.”

“S… sure.”

Wei Jeonghan began to sweat.

Although he was known as a gentleman, this woman was different. Her posture and her movements showed her education and nobility.

He felt that she was the daughter of a great family.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Moon Eunji, daughter of Moon Yuhwan, the Hanrim scholar.”

“Ah, Hanrim… w… who?”

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes widened.

Moon Yuhwan?

The great scholar Moon Yuhwan?

His daughter?

“The great scholar?”

“Yes.”

“T… the daughter of the great scholar… why is she… with that guy…”

At that moment, Wei Yanho pointed:

“You call your son ‘that guy’!”

“Shut up!”

Wei Jeonghan controlled Wei Yanho and asked with doubt:

“Why were you here?”

“Wait.”

“……”

Moon Eunji stopped Wei Jeonghan.

“It will take a long time to explain, so I will do the urgent thing first.”

“What’s urgent?”

Moon Eunji took something out.

‘A scroll?’

It was a long scroll. Golden…

‘That?’

When Moon Eunji opened the scroll, a golden dragon embroidered on the back was visible. No one could use a scroll embroidered with a golden dragon. Only one person could do it.

“Hiik!”

Wei Jeonghan knelt down upon realizing it.

“Kneel!”

“Did a bomb drop?”

Wei Jeonghan closed his eyes upon hearing Wei Yanho, who was about to insult him.

“Wei Yanho will receive the imperial order.”

“…Huh?”

Wei Yanho opened his eyes.
