Chapter 73: The Lazy Man Gets Caught (5)

“Yeonho.”

"yes?"

“……Stop beating me, stop.”

"yes?"

Wi Jeong-han gently grabbed Wi Yeon-ho and pulled him back. He should have stopped him long ago, but he was so impressed by the way he was beaten so well that he just watched him blankly until now.

“But where did you learn to beat people up like that?”

“I didn’t learn it.”

"huh."

Wi Yeon-ho said with an awkward smile.

“After being hit for five years, I guess I naturally learned where and how to hit to make it hurt the most.”

“…….”

The more I listened, the more I felt that the person who was Wei Yanho’s teacher was not a writer who could be compared to others. Even if only half of what I had heard from Wei Yanho so far was true, it felt like he had secured his place as the worst human being in the history of martial arts.

“Hey, stop it, stop it. You’ll die if you keep doing that.”

“Did your father get beaten up?”

“……I didn’t know it would hit so hard.”

“You are truly capricious. But since Master said that it is the duty of a child to accept his father’s flaws, I can understand that much.”

Wi Jeong-han opened his eyes wide.

“Did your master say something like that? From what I’ve heard so far, he doesn’t seem like the type of person who would say something like that.”

“Yes. When I said that I couldn’t stand Master’s temperament because it was really annoying, he said, ‘The military and the master are one, so just as it is the right thing to do to accept your father’s flaws, you should also understand Master’s crazy temperament. What are you going to do if you don’t?’……”

Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head.

“And you were right again. Then why did you say that?”

Wi Jeong-han's eyes became moist.

No matter where you put me in the world, I'll turn other people's stomachs upside down. I'm a guy who shouldn't have to suffer like that, but I'm going through all that trouble by meeting such cruel people.

“Anyway, good. Let’s sort out the situation first.”

“Yes. Well, that’s it.”

Wi Jeong-han turned his head away from Wi Yeon-ho. In this situation, the only people he could consult with were Gong Mu-jin, Jang Il, Jin Ye-ran, and Jin So-ah.

“What do you think?”

Jang-il scratched his head.

“The most appropriate thing to do now is to quickly report this fact to the political alliance and deal with it, but…….”

“It’s the sound of a goosebumps!”

Daehogun, whose snout was swollen and he couldn't even pronounce words properly, rebelled fiercely. Jang-il sighed at the sight of him, which made him feel humanly pitiful.

“There’s nothing we can do since you say no so strongly. In the first place, we made it clear that we wouldn’t tell anyone else about it.”

“Ugh…….”

Wi Jeong-han nodded as if to agree with that statement.

No matter how delicate the situation was, he could not break a promise he had already made. To Wi Jeong-han, it was no different from an absolute principle.

It was already abundantly experienced during the last war that if you do not choose the means to achieve your goal, you will end up not even achieving that goal properly.

“Then what should we do?”

“I think it would be best to try some treatment first.”

“……Didn’t you say that guy can’t do it?”

Jang-il shook his head.

“It’s not Yeonho, but this member of parliament can do it.”

“This person?”

Wi Jeong-han blinked as he looked at Jin So-ah. Of course, he acknowledged her ability to catch the addiction of the Green Forest King, but diagnosis and treatment were not the same thing.

This is probably not something a young member of the National Assembly, who hasn't even served in the military yet, can do…

“This member of the National Assembly is a famous doctor from Seongsujang these days.”

"ah!"

Wi Jeong-han nodded vigorously.

He had heard of Seongsujang's medical school. Among the many medical schools in the world, Seongsujang, which could be said to be the most prestigious of the prestigious schools, had recently been revived, and rumors had been spreading throughout the world that at the center of it all was a medical prodigy called Uidong.

“Ah, this person…….”

How great of a member of parliament must he be to have achieved such fame at such a young age? Wi Jeong-han, who knew that no matter how talented one was, it would never be possible without hard work, looked at Jin So-ah with moved eyes.

As I looked at those bright eyes, I felt like Wei Yanho's rotten eyes were sticking out even more.

Just as he was about to offer a word of encouragement, Wi Yeon-ho slowly approached Jin So-ah and spoke softly.

“But if you come here, who will see the doctor?”

“I was caught, but how would I know?”

“Shouldn’t we go back and take a look?”

“The director will take care of it for about a month. He is a genius at making money.”

"okay?"

Wi Yeon-ho asked, giggling.

“Earn some money?”

Jin So-ah smiled and made a coin shape in front of her chest with one hand.

“I’m sweeping it up with a rag.”

“Oh!”

Wi Yeon-ho nodded repeatedly as if he was happy.

“We recently added two more branches. Now there are five Seongsujang branches in the world. We plan to add two more by next spring.”

“Ugh, as expected, they put a loan shark in charge and he’s making a lot of money.”

“The money that the Duke of Wei is taking is already filling up the warehouse right now. Hehehehe.”

“…….”

Wi Jeong-han's eyes trembled as he saw the two people giggling.

'So, are you saying that those two people are the young master who will shoulder the future of martial arts and the young doctor who is the hope of medicine?'

If you look at the background and judge only by what you see, it looks like two thugs running around and laughing while counting the number of seats they collected.

'Where is Kang-ho going?'

Are you okay?

Is this okay?

“See? I said making money is the best.”

“Hehe, if it weren’t for you, hyung, would I have known this taste? It’s all thanks to the above Confucius who guided me to the right path.”

The energy drained from Wi Jeong-han's face.

'The name of the year has been written on the sprout that was growing well.'

Then that is no longer usable.

“Hey you guy!”

Jin Ye-ran opened her eyes wide and shouted, realizing that her younger sister had been judged as non-recyclable.

“Where are you now, with the patient in front of you…….”

At that moment, Wi Yeon-ho slightly raised his hand. Jin Ye-ran, who had been pushing Jin So-ah with a momentum similar to that of an abstract painting, immediately shut her mouth.

“I have something to say, so later.”

"yes."

Jin Ye-ran nodded and stepped back. Her angry face softened.

Jin So-ah stared at the scene with wide eyes, then glared at Wi Yeon-ho with hostility. No matter what, it seemed like he had no intention of giving up his older sister.

“So, can you cure that old man?”

“Umm…….”

As soon as the word treatment came up, Jin So-ah completely erased her previous mischievous appearance and returned to the appearance of a serious doctor.

“The teachings of our ancestors also contain methods for treating possession by money.”

“Oh, indeed!”

“But I don’t have much knowledge…….”

“If you can’t do it, just say you can’t do it. Why are you so stubborn?”

In that moment, blood flowed to Jin So-ah's forehead.

“It’s not that I can’t do it! It’s just that the conditions aren’t right.”

"condition?"

"yes."

Jin So-ah nodded and spoke with a serious face.

“To treat this level of detail, you need energy to protect the patient’s body.”

“What is that?”

“Even if it’s not possible to have the Three Kings of Eternal Life, or the Three Princes of Independence, or even the Three Thousand Years of Hasuo…….”

Wi Yeon-ho smiled brightly as he looked at Wi Jeong-han.

“You heard? Let’s go home.”

The Great Tiger desperately grabbed Wei Yanhu's leg and hung on.

“Great hero! Great hero! We can get the elixir! So just cure him! Just cure him!”

“You want me to use that elixir on a dying old man? I’d rather take it myself! How much longer will my old man live if he comes back to life?”

Although Wei Yanhui was spouting out vicious words that bordered on immorality, no one stopped him. Now, no one was surprised by what came out of his mouth.

“Shouldn’t we just try to save him first?”

Wi Yeon-ho puffed out his cheeks.

“Well, it’s not mine, so do whatever you want with it.”

Knock knock.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

The Great Tiger distorted his face and shouted.

“Come back later!”

“……Your Majesty.”

The great tiger became angry at the feeble voice coming from outside.

“Didn’t I tell you to come back later because I was in the middle of an important conversation?”

“This is also an important story.”

“Yes, inooooooom!”

The Great Tiger's anger exploded. He was already sad that he was being treated like a village bully because of Wi Yeon-ho, but when he thought that even his subordinate was ignoring him, his anger reached the top of his head.

“Can’t you just turn it off right now? The moment I open this door and go out, that will be the moment you die.”

“……I think I’ll die even if you don’t open it and come out.”

“Hey you, you really…… Huh?”

Only then did the Grand Prince realize that something was strange and tilted his head.

“Die? What do you mean?”

“We’re surrounded.”

"environment?"

The Great Guardian's face trembled. They were the ones who surrounded someone, not the ones being surrounded.

“A siege? What kind of bigots dare to surround Daehochae? Could it be that Jeongmu-maeng has invaded? Those wicked…….”

“I think the beak was hit a little too hard?”

At Wi Jeong-han's words, the Grand Guardian quickly closed his mouth.

“That’s not it……”

"then?"

The door opened slowly, and the bandit, who had become lost in thought, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“The government troops rushed in and surrounded the mountain village tightly.”

"……what?"

The Grand Prince's face turned pale.

***

“Government troops?”

"huh."

“So, you said they were government troops?”

“Yeah. They came rushing in like a pack of dogs. I thought they were barbarians invading.”

"thing……."

Saga couldn't help but make a strange expression.

“It must have been several decades since Daehochae was built, so why did the government troops, who had never come to punish us, invade at this time of all times?”

Gwanggu Shingae snickered and said. Even after hearing this much, why are you still asking this?

“There are probably many reasons. If we were to go into detail, there would be more than a dozen reasons. There would be a decisive reason, and there would be other reasons. But really, if we put aside all the logic, there would be only one reason.”

Saga's face turned slightly pale.

He could now guess what Gwanggu Shingae was trying to say. It was so obvious and ridiculous.

“Because Wei Yanhu was there.”

“…….”

Saga's face distorted involuntarily when he heard an answer that was exactly what he had expected.

“No, that…….”

Gwanggu Shingae said with a giggle.

“Don’t you think so?”

“…….”

Gwanggu Shingae said as if he was extremely happy to see Saga's distorted face.

“If you live long enough in this world, you will come to know one truth. If you keep this one thing in mind, your life from now on will be quite comfortable.”

“Th-what is that?”

Gwanggu Shingae shrugged his shoulders and said.

“It’s easier if you give up.”

“…….”

“Especially about that human.”

It was now a saga where no one could tell what was going on.
