What Happened in Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Chapter 17?
Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Chapter 17 focuses on a standoff on a mountain road after the Swift Dragon Escort Bureau is held up by a group of Green Forest bandits chasing after a young man in red when Wi Yeonho rises from a nap and calmly evaluates the situation unfolding around the cart. Things get worse when it is found that someone is being smuggled in a barrel, and decisions have to be made within seconds so that the escorts can survive.

The chapter begins as the escort party attempts to pass patrols and hide Pang Doguk in a barrel, in hope that Dogi Hong and others will be able to take him down the mountain without notice. Green Forest bandits stand in the way and ask whether anybody saw a man in red, instantly suspecting the escorts of being guilty, as swords appear and nerves shudder.
When Jiang, Wi Yeonho, is awakened from his rest, he does not speak much at first, instead observing the demands of the bandits and the fear of the escorts as the pressure mounts. When the bandit leader threatens to kill the escorts one by one until someone testifies that they have seen the target, a member is kidnapped and his sword drawn to compel a confession by terror.

Feeling the feast of slaughter that lay ahead, Wi Yeonho suddenly bursts open the barrel and exposes Pang Doguk, challenging him instead of letting innocent people lose their lives as he remains a coward, a fact that horrifies both the escorts and the bandits. Yeonho chastises Pang on why he is putting everyone at risk by staying hidden, and it is apparent that it is more dangerous to sacrifice the group instead of confronting the enemy head-on.
What will Happen in Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Chapter 18?
Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Chapter 18 will involve Wi Yeonho likely enforcing his hold on the Beggar Sect sub-branch of Kaifeng and ordering all about him around in an indolent manner, followed by an attempt to play an informational game with Hao Gate to advance the story. Be prepared to laugh and to be deceived because his so-called lazy character conceals keen go-about and increasing strength in the underworld networks of the city.

It is now turned to Kaifeng, where Wi Yeonho has succeeded in gaining control of a subdivision of local beggars and transforming it into a base of operations with little effort, which demonstrates both his manipulative nature and presence. Cases of his having been served and fussed make too much of the gag about the lazy sovereign but illustrate the ease with which he can bend parties to his purpose.
It is another hook of the series, a godlike hero but a shameless schemer, making the comedy remain their top priority as the power is concentrated behind the scenes. Wi Yeonho will most likely force the beggars on errands and pressure campaigns, doing minor opinion manipulation around Kaifeng to gain leverage whilst he waits on the important intel.

The chapter must have an outreach to the Kaifeng branch of Hao Gate to get details, which creates tension in that Hao Gate will not just easily sell sensitive information to anyone without the necessary qualifications and assurances. It is likely that there will be a negotiation scene in some smoky back room of a gaming house, where Hao Gate tries to ascertain that Wi Yeonho is not actually a member of the Beggar Sect despite outward appearances.
