Taejonbirok Volume 25, Episode 24
Chapter 137: Lazy, Lazy (4)
The feelings of the pharmacist who followed the new investigation were a bit more complicated than expected.
‘It’s Wei Yan Ho… … .’
I've heard the name countless times, but I've never seen that Wei Yanho in person.
'What kind of person is he?'
Only then did the pharmacist realize a surprising fact.
It is not circulated.
This is Wei Yanho.
'That's strange.'
Of course, news of Wei Yanhu's achievements is still spreading throughout the world.
The achievement itself is so great, and with the new investigation team fanning the flames, it is spreading like a tailwind.
But there was no Wei Yanho in it.
What this means is that the story of what Wei Yanhu accomplished and how great it was is told at a pace and in a way that everyone can understand, but no one is curious about who Wei Yanhu is, and no one opens their mouth to say anything.
Isn't that strange?
'Even I have no idea.'
Even the head of the medical clinic who was treating those rescued by Wi Yeon-ho did not know what kind of person Wi Yeon-ho was.
That's understandable, no one ever told him that.
In that sense, Wei Yanho could be considered a truly mysterious figure. Stories about him are told throughout the world, but only a handful have actually met him or can claim to know him well.
And even those few rarely mention Wei Yanhu to others. Even though knowing about Wei Yanhu in the martial arts world could be a source of pride.
“Sir.”
"hmm?"
“It may be a bit strange to ask you this now, but what kind of person is Wi Yeon-ho?”
“…….”
The new investigator looked at the medicine man with slightly dazed eyes.
“Are you asking that now?”
"I find it a bit odd, but in reality, not many people know who Wi Yeon-ho is. He's someone who doesn't interact with others…"
“It’s not that there is no communication…….”
"then?"
“No, you won’t. You’ll find out when you go.”
The new investigator shook his head. Then he began to move forward at a faster pace.
'But, is this okay?'
They're at war now. They say the fighting has eased off, giving them a sense of peace, but the fact remains that they're still at war.
And in the midst of this war, the busiest person, no matter what anyone says, is Shin Gi-su. With Kwon Geuk's death at their hands, and the position of leader now vacant, he must simultaneously assume the roles of both military and leader.
I couldn't understand why that busy person would go to the trouble of taking him to Wi Yeon-ho.
“But is there any reason why I should meet him?”
“That’s what I mean…….”
"yes."
“……That guy is having a bit of a problem right now.”
“Is there a problem?”
"It's not that serious… No, it's a serious problem. I think you should look into it."
The pharmacist tilted his head.
If there's a problem… … are you saying there's a problem with Wi Yeon-ho?
'ah…….'
The pharmacist was instantly convinced.
'You're injured.'
It was quite possible.
Considering the number of people Wei Yanhu had saved, and the fact that they had been subdued without any significant battle wounds, it would not have been surprising if Wei Yanhu had been injured while rescuing them.
No, if you think about it calmly, it doesn't make sense to accomplish that task safely. It's obviously impossible.
‘Then why don’t you come to the pharmacy…?’
The pharmacist narrowed his eyes slightly.
Well, that's true.
The world is praising his heroic deeds. It's not simply a matter of public opinion. Now that Kwon Geuk has been arrogantly removed, the person who remains the spiritual pillar of the Jeongmu Alliance is not Shin Gi-su, but Wi Yeon-ho.
If it were known that Wei Yanho had suffered a fatal injury, morale would plummet. Therefore, the fact had to be kept hidden.
'Even so, you should have told me, sir.'
Is a medical center called a medical center for nothing? It's there to treat patients. But what if you hide that fact from the medical center owner?
“Is the problem serious?”
“……I don’t know if I should call this serious or not, but either way, you should take a look at it.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Judging by the fact that the new investigator wasn't speaking properly, the situation seemed to be unsettling. The head of the medical household looked at the dormitory where Wi Yeon-ho was, his eyes slightly tense.
'You mean over there?'
It was the Yongcheong (Dragon Hall), a guest house where important guests of the Maeng family resided.
Only those deemed most important by the Maeng clan are allowed to stay in Yongcheong. These include the elders of the old faction, the leaders of the new faction, and high-ranking officials from the imperial palace.
The fact that he was staying there was proof of how important a figure Wei Yanhu was in the current political alliance.
The guards guarding Yongcheong salute politely upon seeing the new investigation.

“Are you inside?”
"……yes?"
"No, no. You asked a pointless question. It's inside, of course."
The new investigator shook his head and entered the Yongcheong. The head of the medical household followed him without a word.
“I’m telling you this in advance….”
Shin Gi-su opened his mouth with a groan.
“Wei Yanhu is a little different from what you think.”
“I know. At that age, with that level of skill, it would be arrogant.”
"Oman?"
The new investigator tilted his head.
“I guess you could think of it that way.”
“……Are you saying that’s not the case?”
"It's a bit absurd. Arrogance, arrogance… Yeah, if you think about it, that's only natural. If you think about it that way, this rotten guy isn't such a bad guy after all."
“…….”
He's a rotten guy, but he's not a bad guy?
What is this nonsense?
The pharmacist's mind was in turmoil. But he couldn't easily ask again because he sensed that the investigation was even more complicated.
And you'll find out soon anyway.
Because I could see a large door at the end. Elsewhere, doors were half-open, indicating that the room was empty, so Wi Yeon-ho must be there.
“Are you inside?”
The new detective arrived at the door and asked questions. But there was no answer.
The new detective's forehead turned red, and he flung open the door and went inside.
“If anyone is here, at least answer, you little punk!”
The pharmacist quickly followed the new investigator into the room. Then, his eyes widened.
'What, what is it?'
There was no one in the room.
No, to be precise, there was nothing that looked like a person. All I could see was something round on the bed, covered with a blanket.
“…….”
What is that? That?
The head of the medical team opened his eyes wide and stared at the round blanket. Most people would have rolled their eyes to grasp the situation, but Shin Gi-su, as if he already knew the situation, walked briskly to the bed, grabbed the blanket, and pulled it back.
“Why don’t you get up right now, you little punk!”
As the blanket was lifted, the round object's true form was revealed.
'person?'
Is that a person?
"oh my god……."
The pharmacist's eyes widened.
'Can a person become like that?'
no…….
Well, people can gain weight. Isn't gaining weight something you do when you eat? Some people love food so much, and because they have enough money to buy it, they tend to gain weight indefinitely.
But the reason the pharmacist was so surprised wasn't simply because the person in front of him had gained weight. It wasn't because he felt fat. So, what should I say…?
It's like a leather pouch filled with endless amounts of water, so bloated it looks like it's about to burst at any moment. It looks like it'll burst with a single squeeze of your finger.
So how can one not be surprised?
however…….
“Wei Yanho, you rascal! Why don’t you get up right now?”
Who are you?
Wei Yanho?
That?
Is that the Gwanghwi Sword Master Wei Yanho?
The hero of the era, the Gwanghwi Swordsman, Wei Yanho, who defeated the Demonic Cult's invasion at Hwasan, achieved parity with the Mad Soul Demon Emperor, broke the Heavenly Sword, invaded the Demonic Cult and extinguished their holy fire, repelled the invasion of Baekgeomseong, and saved so many people?
That human… … No, that?
The pharmacist's mouth opened wide.
“Wei Yanhu is a little different from what you think.”
I thought I knew what the new detective meant.
'But… this is a little different, isn't it, sir!'
It's very different? What's seriously different about this?
“Aren’t you going to open your eyes? I’ll rip them out!”
And the new investigation was different too.
'That person… that person… '
Who is Shin Gi-su-sa Jo Hyeon-i?
He was a hero of his time who repelled the perilous invasion of the Demonic Cult. Regardless of personal gain or loss, the divine investigator's abilities were universally acknowledged.
It's not just about ability.
The people admired his character more than his ability to investigate. He was a true gentleman, never easily angered and incredibly easygoing.
But who would think of the word gentleman when looking at the current state of Shin Gi-su?
As I watched Shin Gi-su grab Wei Yeon-ho's face and force him to open his eyes, I began to wonder if this was really the world the medicine master knew.
“Turn it off… Uh uh.”
"Inma! Where are you pretending to sleep? How can you possibly sleep with people around you?! You're a master for nothing!"
Yes, that's right.
He's a master. Wi Yeon-ho is a master.
But now you're climbing on top of that balloon-like bulge and rubbing your face.
“Hahaha.”
The pharmacist laughed. His mind couldn't grasp what was really going on.
“Oh, someone said they wanted to sleep!”
“Are you a human? Are you a human? A human must have a conscience to be a human, Inma!”
“Who else has more conscience than me?”
“Now I’m going crazy! Oh my, I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy!”
The new detective turned his head sharply.
“What are you doing?”
"……yes?"
The medicine man flinched when he was suddenly attacked.
“Come on, take my pulse.”
“A pulse check?”
I know where it hurts… … .
No, I don't think I need water.
Wherever it hurts, it hurts. Looking at that, it's better to ask what's okay.
The pharmacist approached Wei Yanho, hesitantly. Then, for a long time, he stood there, staring blankly at him.
“What are you doing, not taking my pulse quickly?”
“……But sir.”
"huh?"
“How should I take your pulse? I don’t have a wrist.”
“…….”
Shin Gi-su, who saw Wei Yeon-ho's arm buried in swollen flesh and only wiggling his fingers, let out a deep sigh as if the world were ending.
“Nothing is working properly! Aaaah!”
The desperate screams of the new investigator shook the political world.
