Chapter 30 – The Lazy Man, Talking (1)

“The length is fine.”

“…….”

“If you have time, why don’t you stop somewhere along the way? It’s been a long time since I’ve been on the road with such a relaxed mind.”

“…….”

"honey?"

“Be careful, if you say one more word you might never hear that sound again.”

Wi Jeong-han kept his mouth shut. His wife had been in a bad mood for a while now. In times like this, the best thing to do is to keep your mouth shut as if you were dead. If you keep your mouth shut, you might end up not being able to eat.

Because he has committed so many sins, Wi Jeong-han cannot show his true colors to Han Sang-ah, but after Wi Yeon-ho went missing, he has become a mouse in front of a cat.

It was Wi Jeong-han who tried to persuade Han Sang-ah, who was against it, to put Wi Yeon-ho in the school.

As Wi Jeong-han became aware of his own sins, whenever Han Sang-ah said something, he would often stick his neck out like a snake, and now he is in a situation where he can't even make a sound.

'The world's best swordsman is Gong Cheo… … .'

Mo San-ah looked at Jeong Hyeong-geom and Han Sang-ah with interest.

'Is this information valuable?'

Even if it is worth it, most people won't believe it. Jeonghyeopgeom is a swordsman who practices negotiation, but to those who pursue the devil, he is known as a being more fearsome than the grim reaper.

Wasn't it Jeong Hyo-geom who famously said that there was no need to hesitate when carrying out a deal? He must have had at least a hundred famous swordsmen in his hands.

Even though he is a madman, he is still a human.

How can a man who sent over a hundred people to the afterlife under the pretext of negotiating be so flustered by a single word from his wife?

It was an absolutely unbelievable sight.

“Why is the carriage so slow?”

“……Have you forgotten how many horses have already foamed at the mouth and fallen?”

“That doesn’t sound very good. I told you to prepare it to the highest standard, didn’t I?”

“Even if they are not the legendary Han-Hyeol-Ma, I have prepared them with guys who can rival Han-Hyeol-Ma.”

In particular, the price was comparable to that of a Korean blood horse.

If his patience had been just a little lacking, he would have almost committed the shameful act of grabbing Masang by the collar and shouting, 'I'll kill all of you swindlers!'

“Everything you do is like that.”

Wi Jeong-han became gloomy and turned his gaze to his feet.

It was Mosan-ah who couldn't believe that that look of a fool was the usual appearance of a wise man.

'What on earth is Guangdongwei?'

The Weishanho he saw was a person who was truly worthy of the word unmanned. Although he was young now, he left such a strong impression that he thought that in ten more years, the best in the world might emerge from the Guangdong Wei family. That was Weishanho, the Cheokmageom.

I thought that the person who raised him would be more than that, but when I actually met him, there was no such thing as a concubine. Even if he was a concubine, it would be fortunate if he only feared his wife, but his actions were not dignified or showed authority, as expected of the head of the Guangdong Wei family.

'furthermore…….'

My head started to hurt when I thought of Wei Yan Lake.

Since she took over the Gaebong branch, wasn't the most incomprehensible person Wei Yanho?

Usually, in a famous family or a so-called “Sega”, there is always at least one eccentric person living there.

But as far as she knew, the only place where there were three people who were too embarrassed to be called weird was Guangdongwei.

'Is the weather bad?'

Since all three direct descendants were in strange conditions, it could only be interpreted as either a mistake in the ancestors or a bad situation.

“What are you thinking so deeply about?”

“Huh? Oh! Yes!”

Mo San-Ah's body stiffened as she stood up. Sweat dripped from her body as she thought of the person who was talking to her right now, the ruler of Guangdong Wei Family, who was wielding the Zheng He Jian Sword, the best swordsman in the world, and an unidentified boy master in one hand.

'I wouldn't be this nervous even if I met the leader of the political faction.'

Riding in a carriage with such a person was the hardest of hardships.

If he had only known martial arts, he would have been able to ride a horse or perform light martial arts and go all the way to Hubei, but Han Sang-ah was a martial artist who was so skilled that he was embarrassed to even say where he had learned martial arts.

It is not a flaw for a woman to be weak as a warrior.

“I was just absentminded for a moment.”

“Isn’t it boring?”

"no."

Mosan-ah waved her hand. Han Sang-ah smiled happily, as if she liked even that sight.

How can it be so beautiful?

From the moment I first saw her, I was struck by her beauty, but the more I looked at her, the more I fell for her. Her background was a bit poor, and she was a bit old, but that was her flaw.

'That's not even a flaw compared to my child's flaw.'

Even a hedgehog feels sorry for its own child, but what's cute is cute, and what has no answer has no answer.

Han Sang-ah still thought Wei Yan-ho was pretty, but she was cold. Her son was like an inventory item that had to be disposed of at a low price. If you leave it alone, thinking it will sell itself, it will take up space in the warehouse and never disappear.

Whether it was selling him off cheaply, threatening him, or fraudulently selling him off… he was a son who would never be sold unless he used some kind of trick.

'So somehow… … .'

At that moment, the carriage slowly stopped.

“Huh?”

Mosana's eyes sharpened. There was no reason for the carriage to stop now. Mosana got up from her seat and opened the small window leading to the coachman's seat.

“What's going on?”

“Miss, there are people blocking your way.”

“Who are you?”

“They seem to be bandits…….”

“Bandits? Are bandits a problem?”

She is not only the branch manager of the Haomen Gaebong branch, but also the daughter of the Haomen lord. The coachman who assists her is also a well-known expert in Haomen.

Even those who don't know much about Haomen have heard of the name "Yakaek" (夜客), so no further explanation is needed.

Would a person like that stop his carriage just because of bandits?

“It looks like a green forest.”

"green wood!"

Mosan-ah's face hardened and she opened the carriage door.

The Green Forest was not an easy opponent to deal with. There were as many Green Forests as there were Open, but because of that, there were many cases where they would get hurt if they were carelessly provoked.

There is nothing to fear from bandits, but it will be a headache if the major mountain herds of the green forest start to come out on their own.

When I got off the carriage, I saw not the typical bandits dressed in leather, but sharp-looking masters wearing green cheongsam.

'It's a green forest.'

The character ‘Rim’ (林) engraved on their chest represented their identity.

“What's going on?”

Those who came out of the green forest slowly looked at them without answering and then slowly began to surround them.

“Isn’t there any case of green forest?”

When Mosan-ah's voice came out shrilly, their eyes caught the strange color.

“If you know us, you’re not ordinary guys. What are you?”

“I am Mo San-ah, the branch manager of Haomun Gaebong. Haomun and Nokrim have maintained a good relationship so far, so I don’t think there is any need to act like this. I don’t know what’s going on, but if you explain the situation, I will cooperate.”

The eyes of the man in the lead narrowed.

“Haomen……”

The man looked at Mosan-ah as if he didn't like her at all, then opened his mouth.

“Haomen… Haomen certainly has the right to say such things. Alright, go back. If you come down the mountain, I won’t stop you any longer.”

“We have to pass this mountain.”

“Impossible.”

The man spoke firmly.

“The Green Forest King has ordered the mountain to be closed. To set an example due to recent unfortunate events, no one is allowed to pass through this mountain.”

“…….”

Mosan-ah's face darkened.

Once the name of the Green Forest King was mentioned, there could be no compromise. No one who lived off the things that grew in the mountains could be free from the name of the Green Forest King.

At least in the mountains, the one who enjoys the same status as the emperor is the Green Forest King, the owner of the Green Forest Seventy-Two Buildings.

“Are you saying I have to go down the mountain and turn back?”

“Yes. Originally, you should have given up everything you had, but in order to save Haomen’s reputation, I will let you go. It would be best not to even think about asking for anything more.”

“Umm…….”

A wrinkle formed between Mosan-ah's eyebrows.

Going down the mountain is not that difficult, but going back takes a lot longer. Since this is the only road that carriages can take around here, it will take even longer.

And then… … .

“What? Go around the mountain?”

A sharp voice came from inside the carriage.

The mother sighed.

It seemed that Han Sang-ah, who was already complaining about the carriage being late, would not readily accept the situation of going around the mountain.

“I guess you’ll have to get out of the way.”

“Can’t you understand what we’re saying?”

“Of course I understand what you’re saying. But we also have our own circumstances.”

"circumstances?"

Han Sang-ah didn't want to be at odds with Nokrim. The group called Haomun was a sect that made a living by getting information, so it was a place where she couldn't be at odds with anyone.

But the people riding in the carriage now had no reason to do that.

“I’m going to leave. So why don’t you talk to the person involved?”

“The woman took the situation into consideration… Are you ignoring the name of the Green Forest King!”

Just as the Nokrimdo were about to have a seizure, a heavy voice was heard from inside the carriage.

“Oh, those bandits are quite talkative.”

The green forest people's gaze was focused on the carriage door.

Then, soon a middle-aged man with slightly disheveled clothes slowly walked out from inside.

“What a nice time. Hooting in a carriage.”

Although a misunderstanding occurred, Mosan-ah was able to realize that it was not because of her clothes or anything like that, but because Han Sang-ah had grabbed Wi Jeong-han by the collar and shaken him clean.

'You grabbed Jeong Hyo-geom by the collar.'

They say that men rule the world, but women rule men… … She was truly a role model for many women.

“The Green Forest King… It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of him.”

Jeong Hyo-geom smiled faintly.

“I wonder if that guy’s side is healthy? The sword went in pretty deep back then.”

“This guy!”

Just as the Nokrimdo in the lead was about to have a seizure, the Nokrimdo behind him grabbed his shoulder and pushed him down.

“What is it?”

As Nokrimdo, who had not been able to grasp the situation, turned around, Nokrimdo, who had been looking at Wijeonghan with trembling eyes, opened his mouth.

“I, Jeonghyeopgeom!”

"what?"

The green forest people all took a few steps back.

“You mean the Jeonghyeop sword?”

“I once heard that the one who left deep marks on the body of the Green Forest King was Jeonghyeop Geom.”

“Jeonghyeopgeom…….”

The aftereffects of the name Jeonghyeopgeom were enormous. The Green Forest Clans, who had been threatening them with the name of Green Forest King just a moment ago, were trembling in fear as if they had seen a devil.

“I’m not the type of person to just leave guys like you alone, but…….”

Wi Jeong-han clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.

“I’m in a hurry right now, so please forgive me this once. So get out of my way.”

It was the moment when the world's best public servant turned into the world's best Tangma Myulsa.
