Taejonbirok Volume 20, Episode 8
Chapter 109: The Lazy Man Takes on a Challenge (3)
“……Can I ask for an explanation again?”
Dangcheon-gun's face was incredibly strange.
It seemed as if he was both dumbfounded and surprised. He was both bewildered and amazed.
It can't be helped.
'What the hell is this?'
The head of the medical family came with a crazy story. This man was one of the most serious people in the family.
What on earth is going on?
'No need to think about it.'
Just by looking at the sly face of the guy sitting next to the pharmacist, I could guess how the situation had turned out.
You must have sold medicine, medicine!
“It is exactly as I said.”
The pharmacist sighed and said.
“Of course, you’ll probably think it’s absurd and ridiculous…….”
“……You know very well.”
"but……."
The medicine master glanced at Wi Yeon-ho and gritted his teeth.
“It cannot be denied that this is realistically the most probable method.”
“Realistically?”
It's reality.
“Aren’t you… being exposed to too much magic?”
“I am in my right mind.”
“Of course, but…….”
Dangcheon-gun trailed off.
A person of the rank of a medical doctor wouldn't have lost his mind if exposed to magic. But what he was saying now was just too absurd.
“Is that possible?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? Look.”
The medicine man looked straight at Dangcheon-gun and said.
"Looking back at the history of martial arts and medicine, this is unprecedented. It's only natural that we can't predict the outcome."
“And yet you are willing to take such a risk?”
"yes."
“Why?”
The pharmacist answered without wavering.
“Because we can’t just let these precious lives die.”
Dangcheon-gun couldn't help but sigh.
The voice of the pharmacist was full of strength.
"Gajoo, I'm a member of the National Assembly. But before that, I'm a member of the family. I'm ashamed to say this, but my medical skills can't cure them. But I can't just leave them to die."
The medicine man turned his head, glared at Wi Yeon-ho, and continued speaking.
“If I hadn’t heard, I wouldn’t have known, if I hadn’t known the method at all, but now that I’ve seen a path that at least has some possibility, I have no choice but to take it.”
“And what if we all die? What will we do then?”
“There’s nothing I can do.”
“Are you calling that a word, you idiot!”
“So are you saying I should just suck my thumb and watch them all die?”
Dangcheon-gun flinched when the medicine master shouted. It was the first time he'd ever raised his voice like this.
"I can't draw. I can't just sit back and watch, even if it means killing them all with my own hands. Please, Lord, allow me. I'll stake my life on it."
“No, that…….”
Dangcheon-gun put aside his pride and scratched his head.
'Fuck, what do you want me to do?'
It wasn't an easy choice. Whichever way he chose, it was clear he would face a barrage of criticism.
'Why did you bring up such a troublesome matter?'
His resentful gaze naturally turned to Wei Yanho. If Wei Yanho were to bring up such an opinion, he could simply dismiss it, saying he wouldn't allow it even if a knife was held to his throat.
But why did he have to be a pharmacist?
Although the chief physician holds a lower position, he has a greater say in medical matters. How patients are treated is entirely up to him.
If he ignored the pharmacist's request and all the patients died, the blow to his position would be enormous. And…
'You're saying that strangely enough, it makes sense?'
I would have been pleased if this opinion hadn't come from that guy.
Some of it makes sense, some of it doesn't.
So it's harder to choose.
If the pharmacist is pushing for something like that, then you have to push for it somehow, but why did you fall for that damn medicine?
“Are you worried?”
“Ugh.”
When Wi Yeon-ho smiled slyly, Dang Cheon-gun's face distorted.
'A bastard who deserves to be splashed in shit water.'

How can every single word of a person scratch your nerves? That too is talent, talent.
"Don't worry. If you can't decide, just ask the person who knows best."
“Who would know best?”
“Yes, Lord Yeonju.”
"ah……."
Dangcheon-gun groaned without realizing it.
“That sounds like a cool method, doesn’t it?”
“…….”
There are many ways to turn a person's mind inside out. But Dangcheon learned something new today: nothing drives a person madder than having everyone around him unanimously push things in a direction he doesn't want.
“Did you say it was fun?”
“Well, now that I hear it, I remember… No, rather than remembering it, I was wondering if I really needed to say it.”
"yes."
“I was seriously addicted when I started taking the explosives.”
"yes?"
Dangcheon-gun's eyes trembled.
poisoning?
What kind of addiction is this?
“Did the demonic cult use poison?”
“It wasn’t written by the Demonic Cult… I wrote it.”
“……What does that mean?”
Cheon Iryeonju Cheok Su-gwang shrugged.
"Wasn't that the case back then? If you had to use poison, you had to use it. If you had to use a secret weapon, you had to use a secret weapon. It was a time when you wouldn't hesitate to hide underground and plunge a knife into the leg of a passing demonic cultist. What difference did it make if it was poison? Surely the Tang family wouldn't accuse you of cowardice for using poison, would they?"
“That’s not what I meant… why poison?”
"I wanted to kill at least one more. That's why I put poison on my sword, but as we fought back and forth, I ended up getting hit by my own sword."
“…….”
Instead of the speechless Tang Cheon-gun, Wi Yeon-ho expressed his honest feelings.
“Grandpa Yeonju, you’re more interesting than I thought.”
“Is that so?”
Dangcheon-gun's stomach turned at the kind answer of the spine light.
'There is no sane person, no sane person!'
“Why did you get hit by your own sword?”
“Tsk tsk.”
Suk Soo-kwang looked at Dangcheon-gun as if he was pathetic and said:
"That's why you're no good. How could you possibly be in danger if you were to spray poison or throw a weapon from afar? In a melee where breath is inextricably linked, and lives are at stake by a single inch, anything can happen. This is a man's fight."
“……Wasn’t it just because Yeonju was weak back then? I was much stronger back then, so I wasn’t in much danger.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, that’s a reasonable statement.”
The corners of the spine's mouth curled up.
“Then, while I was weak and came this far, what did you do to still be there?”
“Ugh.”
Dangcheon-gun clutched his heart.
There were too many people here who made him fall into a state of obsession.
“So you think the poison and the Explosion Group are related?”
At the pharmacist's question, Suk Soo-kwang shrugged his shoulders.
"How could an ignorant worm like me know that? It's just that I was different from many back then, so I think there might be a connection. I don't think the attempt itself is bad. It would be nice to see if any of the demonic cultists who were poisoned by your poison survived after eating the Explosion Corps. It's a shame that we can't do that."
"hmm……."
The head of the medical department and Wei Yanho nodded at the same time.
“Anyway, I think it’s worth a try.”
Wi Yeon-ho saw Dangcheon-gun.
“Is that so?”
“…….”
Dangcheon-gun's face was distorted.
It was a dead end. And the only exit was occupied by hungry wolves.
'Damn.'
Where did things go wrong?
‘I brought that guy here because I was crazy… … .’
I couldn't die alone, so I brought you here to die with the others, so why do you keep biting me?
"Please decide now. Time is precious. I'm not just saying this, I'm truly precious. It wouldn't be strange if one or two of us died now."
“Hmm…….”
Dangcheon-gun let out a sigh.
But the results were already in. Everyone was demanding he push through, so he couldn't be the only one opposing it. It might be different if it were a family affair, but with Wi Yeon-ho, representing the Jeongmu Alliance, and Cheok Su-gwang, representing the Cheon Ui-ryeon, speaking with one voice, how could he possibly have the guts to resist?
Besides, he had no intention of just watching his family's children die.
'I can never see that sight again.'
They are children who are like real children. They are children who are like my own children.
It is impossible not to feel heartbroken when such people die.
“I will allow it. However!”
Dangcheon-gun looked straight at Wi Yeon-ho and said.
“Please save them. I must. I must save the children.”
Wi Yeon-ho stood up from his seat.
Then he held the lottery ticket with both hands.
“I will try my best.”
Dangcheon-gun's deep sigh rippled through the room.
“Is it really possible?”
"I don't know."
“You said you were trying?”
“I’m trying, but I don’t know what will happen.”
“But is it really okay to force it?”
“Shall we start over from the beginning?”
“No, that’s not it…….”
Jang Il couldn't hide his anxiety.
'If things go wrong here, it's not going to be a joke.'
When things don't go well, staying put can be the right answer. While it's true that those who try should be praised for their efforts, where in the world do things go according to plan?
If Wei Yanhu takes on the challenge and things go wrong, all the onlookers will rise up and start criticizing Wei Yanhu.
'This is no joke.'
Moreover, this is a party.
Just think of how much ill will the Tang people had towards Wei Yanhu.
'It's like jumping into a fire carrying a bundle of embers.'
Jang Il sighed.
'Normally, it's a problem if you don't do something, so why does it become a problem when you start doing something?'
Either way, it's a problem.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Oh, why?”
Although Wi Yeon-ho was annoyed, Jang Il could not confront him as usual.
“You know this isn’t normal, right?”
“Beggar, beggar.”
Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue.
“If you’re afraid of being cursed at, you can’t do anything.”
“That’s because it’s not an ordinary curse.”
“Then should I leave it alone?”
“…….”
"If we just leave it alone, it'll just keep getting bigger. If this were the only thing happening here, I wouldn't want to get involved. But that's not the case."
"still……."
Wi Yeon-ho said with a sigh.
"What can I do? Being a meddlesome person is a sin. People should be able to be a little shameless, but I don't have the confidence to say I couldn't help it later when this situation becomes a bigger issue. I can make excuses to everyone, but not to myself. And…"
Wei Yanhu raised his head and looked up at the sky.
"There are even some gentlemen who will go on and on about how stupid they are and how they couldn't even solve that one thing. Ugh, do I even have to worry about what will happen to me in the afterlife after I die?"
“What are you talking about?”
“Yes, there is something like that.”
Jang Il tilted his head as he watched Wi Yeon-ho walk away with a swaying stance.
'A hero… … .'
No matter how I looked at it, that back view was not that of a hero.
Still, what should I say… … .
“Let’s go together, Inma.”
Jang Il followed Wi Yeon-ho.
