Taejonbirok Volume 10 Episode 21
Chapter 62 Laziness, Dangerous (1)
“What should I do now?”
“…….”
Those sitting around in the reception room on the first floor of Jeongmu-myeong's residence looked at each other's faces.
Aksuhui rubbed her face with slightly trembling hands.
“What are you going to do?”
"under……."
Aksuhui let out a deep sigh as she looked at the sharp gazes pouring down on her.
The person yelling at him now was Namgung Yeongryeong of Namgung Se-ga.
“People should learn to be a little more serious!”
“Ugh!”
Ak Seo-hee lowered her head without saying a word. Just a few days ago, they all respected him.
If you were to pick the most prominent member of their faction, even Ak Seo-hee would have no choice but to pick Wi San-ho, but Wi San-ho had no will to get along with his peers.
It's not to the extent that you could say he's not friendly, but he's not the type of person to take the initiative and do something. That's why the center of his support was actually the second-in-command, Ak Seo-hee.
Until a few days ago.
“There is no one else to mess with!”
'You guys, no one said anything like that back then.'
Who would have thought it would turn out like this, you know?
Who would have thought that the person who got into trouble was Wei Yanho, and that Wei Yanho would be such a monster?
“I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
When Ho-cheol-san defended Ak-seo-hee, a sharp reaction came back.
“Yes, even if Ho So-hyeop hadn’t made a big deal out of the incident, it wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
Ho-cheol-san, who always moved smoothly as if he was oiled, shut his mouth tightly. He couldn't even make excuses because he had done something wrong.
Namgung Yeongryung opened his mouth quietly.
“When I asked Hye-ah, she said that Wi Yeon-ho was a very petty person who was naturally good at harassing people.”
“…….”
“The problem is that we’ve already lost touch with that guy.”
Everyone shivered.
When he was hit by Wei Yanho and the roofs of the other pavilions were blown away, he was angry. Although he was hit with overwhelming force, he was half careless and thought that if he joined forces or borrowed the power of his family, he could punish that arrogant brat.
But after seeing what Wei Yanhui did at the competition, I couldn't help but change my mind.
'He's a guy who beat up the party leader and even threw away the party name… '
How can you deal with a person like that?
Even the Tang family will beat up a dog like a dog, but the Akga family will not even notice.
No, it wasn't to that extent. If I went home and told Wi Yeon-ho that I had an argument with him, he might try to strike me off the family register.
The image of my father, who was always causing trouble and then got into a fight with Wi Yeon-ho because he had nowhere to start a fight, was vivid.
'No. If you say anything, you will be beaten to death.'
Now there is no hope for support from the family.
“You have to be careful about the time and place! Where do you think this is! You came here with the honor of the Jeongmu Alliance on the line, and now you’re getting seduced by a woman and causing an accident!”
“…….”
Of course, Ak Seo-hee didn't do anything particularly good, but shouldn't this story have been told back then, not now?
“……It’s not something that has already happened.”
“Yes. It happened in the past. So we can’t go back. Because of that, we’re now in a situation where we’re stuck with a sack of barley. What are you going to do about it?”
“Okay.”
Aksuhui banged her head on the table.
As Wi Yeon-ho was active and Wi San-ho was on a winning streak by wiping out all of his opponents, the eyes of those watching the competition were focused on Jeongmu-myeong.
But in the meantime, because of the fight between Wi Yeon-ho and Cheok, they were literally left in a situation where they were like sacks of barley that had been borrowed.
“Blaming each other is not the solution. First, we have to find a way to deal with this situation.”
“The mouth is alive.”
Ho-cheol-san grabbed his thigh at the sudden remark.
No matter what anyone says, the people leading this group are Ak Seo-hee and myself. Among them, the most important person was myself rather than Ak Seo-hee.
He was the head of the horse and had the most say, until this incident.
Ho-cheol-san clenched his fists as he felt his confidence in himself plummet to rock bottom after just one mistake.
'Wei Yanho, you rascal!'
If you think about it, it's all because of Wei Yanho that he ended up like this. Wasn't it Wei Yanho who turned that trivial matter into a quarrel and blew them all away thinking it was right?
'They say that if an unlucky person falls backwards, his nose will break.'
It just so happened that Wi Yeon-ho was here at that time, and it just so happened that even when there was a dispute, he ended up with Wi Yeon-ho.
“What are you going to do?”
“……Shouldn’t we first clarify our purpose? What are we going to do and how?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
Namgung Yeongryung said nervously.
“What good would it do to betray the future world’s greatest man, even if you can’t become friends with him? If the two of you hadn’t argued with him, wouldn’t this not have happened?”
“I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Yes. Because of that unknowing act, we all ended up like this. These days, I can’t leave my dorm. I’m afraid that if I go out, I’ll run into you.”
“…….”

He had a lot to say, but the sinister gaze glaring at him silenced his mouth.
Ho-cheol-san swallowed his resentment.
Of course, I understand that anyone would want to blame someone, but blaming yourself isn't going to solve anything.
'But it is true that we really need a solution.'
Here, the person I should most not have a relationship with has become estranged. If Wei Yanhu had been a master of the Weishanhu level, I wouldn't have been this worried.
However, these people here are people who are treated with respect wherever they go, and they are descendants of powerful families. They are the ones who know better than anyone how much influence a single absolute master can exert.
It's okay now. There won't be any problem right now. But after ten years, after twenty years, the fact that they don't have a good relationship with Wei Yanhu will be a huge burden to them.
Those who did not immediately have an overwhelming position within the family began to worry about being pushed out of the line of succession.
“I guess…….”
Ho-cheol-san said with a distorted face.
“I think we need to find a way to improve our relationship with Wei Yanhu.”
“Improvement in relations? After all that trouble?”
“But you can’t just let it go, right? You have to grab onto even a straw. After investigating separately, I heard that the military leaders’ trust in Wei Yan-ho is extremely deep. If that’s the case, it’s obvious that Wei Yan-ho will take on a key position in the political alliance in the future. Even then, will you treat him like a chicken if the relationship isn’t good?”
If Cheon Gi-su had heard it, he would have shouted, "Where did such nonsense come from!" and if Wi Yeon-ho had heard it, he would have shouted, "Me in a high position! Me! What are you talking about, military gentleman!" Ho-cheol-san was good at saying things that would absolutely be rejected.
“I have also heard that the Wei family and the military elders frequently visit each other. Isn’t the Wei family’s close friend?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t want to admit it, but the Guangdong Wei family has now become one of the forces that move the world. This is no longer our personal business. For the well-being of our family and the prosperity of the world, we need to reconsider our relationship with Prince Wei Yanhu.”
Although it got a bit more grandiose, no one complained. It was better to have some kind of justification than to just say, "It's uncomfortable to sleep with that guy."
It's a little embarrassing, though.
“But the problem is… there is no proper method.”
Ho-cheol-san said with a sigh.
“I did some research and found that Wi Yeon-ho is the type of person who is the hardest to get close to. He has no material desires, no desires, is extremely lazy, and rarely leaves the house. His interpersonal relationships are extremely narrow, and there are no people who can be used as stepping stones. In other words, he is like an impregnable fortress.”
“……It must be hard to stand up to someone like that.”
Ho-cheol-san gritted his teeth as he watched Nam-gung Yeong-ryeong keep trying to get him to do something.
'You're talking as if you're not a party to the matter, really!'
There's always one of those types of people. When something happens, rather than discussing solutions, they find fault with everything and complain about everything, which discourages people.
“So what is it that you want to say?”
“There may be other ways that are difficult, but I think there is one way.”
"oh?"
Ho-cheol-san shouted at Nam-gung Yeong-ryeong.
'It's not completely useless.'
“What is it?”
“The narrower your interpersonal relationships are and the less you interact with others, the more likely it is that you will become obsessed with a good woman when you meet her. If you make room for her…….”
“Okay, next person.”
“Wait a minute! I’m talking!”
“A story that isn’t worth hearing is just a waste of time.”
“Why is it worthless? Do you think I can’t handle one of those guys?”
“……Lady Namgung.”
Ho-cheol-san sighed deeply and said.
“Please think again about why this happened. Didn’t you see Young Lady Jin Ye-ran next to Wi Yeon-ho at that time?”
“…….”
“Isn’t Wi Yeon-ho the kind of person who doesn’t pay much attention to someone like that even when they’re right next to him? But Lady Namgung……”
“Well, there may be such a thing as taste.”
“Tastes differ only when the level is the same.”
“Are you done talking now?”
Ho-cheol-san closed his mouth in embarrassment. However, Nam-gung Yeong-ryeong only grumbled and did not say anything more. Jin-ye-ran’s beauty was too overwhelming to be pushed any further.
It was a face that I wouldn't even feel jealous of as a woman. It was a face that would make me lose my soul just by looking at it, so I didn't even feel like we were the same woman.
“Then is there no other way?”
Aksuhui opened her mouth quietly.
“But before that, don’t we know too much about this guy named Wi Yeon-ho?”
“Didn’t I say I did some research?”
“Well, that’s what I’ve heard from other people, so wouldn’t it be better to hear from someone who has watched him closely?”
“Umm…….”
Ho-cheol-san nodded as if to say that it made sense.
“That’s certainly true. I need more information. However, it’s hard to find anyone who has observed Wei Yanhu up close. The most certain one is Wei Sanhu, but Wei Sanhu doesn’t seem like the type of person who would be suited for such a task.”
“Yes. But there is one person.”
"huh?"
“Even if we’re not that close, he’s someone who knows more about Wi Yeon-ho than anyone else around him. His job is to analyze people and turn them into information.”
“Ah! Then!”
When Ak Seo-hee and Ho-cheol-san faced each other, Nam-gung Yeong-ryeong stuck out his mouth.
“What are you saying?”
The person who was called in like that yawned.
Seeing him like that, I can't help but feel less trustworthy… … But what can I do? This man is proven to be better than anyone else when it comes to information.
“Hey, Jang-il! Are you listening to me?”
The open-air market stall owner took a quick look around and opened his mouth in a languid tone.
“So what do you want to know? Wi Yeon-ho?”
