Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 310 - Please Rest Assured (II)
Chapter 310. Please Rest Assured (II)
Translator: Storm in a TeacupBut Ling Shan was also the only one among the thirty or so killers who ran away.
After killing the rest killers, Liu Suifeng immediately began to cure the injured Shadow Guardians.
Even so, they still suffered a great loss this time.
This time, the killers from the Eastern Darkness had taken a fierce counterattack. Although almost all of them were killed except only one who got a narrow escape, Liu Suifeng and the Shadow Guardians still paid a great price for this.
As Lui Suifeng was busy settling down everything, Long was sitting in the pavilion of the backyard, being in a trance and having no idea what exactly happened at this time.
Meanwhile, Shi sent a message again. It seemed that he had already got some clues about the ‘hidden person’. Therefore, he needed to make sure that whether Long and his men would come to help him or not.
It was not the first time he sent a message to ask him, but he got no response from Long. Thus, he asked him again.
After a while, Long finally came back to his room and finally took the pen, deciding to reply.
It’s up to you.
There were only four words written down.
Even Long realized, at this moment, that he still did have a feeling of resentment to Shi’s leaving, no matter how clearly he understood that Shi had to leave at that time.
It was nothing with the emotions, but a decision made by the reason.
However… He just couldn’t let go.
Long didn’t want to think about this mess anymore, so he called a Shadow Guardians over and asked him about Liu Suifeng. Soon, he was surprised by Shadow Guardians’ report.
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan had already executed to plan!
Long immediately met them as soon as Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan came back.
Then, he let out a sigh of relief after confirming that they didn’t get any hurt.
“Bury the dead Shadow Guardians well and take good care of their families.”
“Yes, Your Majesty! I’d like to express my gratitude on behalf of my deceased fellow brothers!” Ying Feng answered.
Long waved his hand, hinting him that didn’t need to appreciate him, and then, he looked at Lui Suifeng, asking, “So, there’s one who ran away?”
“Yes. He should be the leader.”
Long pursed his lips and then, continued to say, “It’s kind of troublesome but within my expectation. After all, a centipede does not topple over even dead.”
Liu Suifeng looked him back, “Well, how about your plan?”
Long smiled gently after hearing Liu Suifeng’s words, “Em… Next, we should take action separately.”
“Separately?” Liu Suifeng was a bit confused, “But how?”
Long gave a glance at Liu Suifeng, then he said, “You’re not a proper person to Eastern Darkness because of your identity. Once you’re found by anyone, he would use all his power to kill you. Besides, since now there was one who escaped from you, it would be better that you keep staying here with the sacred relic. Perhaps he would take some people and come again. It will be safer for you here, in your place. As for Eastern Darkness, I will go there with Ouyang Chuan.”
Long’s words made Lui Suifeng gasp, “Just you two?”
“Of course not.” Long smiled, “I’m not that confident as you think. Don’t worry! I will take another person with me.”
“Another person?” Liu Suifeng doubted.
“Yeah. It will be easier for us to escape with the fewer person. You know. More people mean a bigger target to be found. Anyway, I don’t think that the emperor in Eastern Darkness will imagine that the king of the Tianlong Dynasty, who didn’t know martial arts at all, will come to Eastern Darkness just with two followers as the meat on his chopping block.”
Liu Suifeng was speechless.
And Long couldn’t help but laugh out after seeing Liu Suifeng’s dumb look. He reached out and patted Liu Suifeng, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m going to do and I won’t play with fire.”
Staring at him, Liu Suifeng questioned, “You’re already playing with fire.”
However, Long just shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Ouyang Chuan, “Ouyang, I will take you and Ying Feng with me. Okay?”
Ouyang Chuan nodded, “No problem.”
“Then, imy life is now on your hand.”
After making a decision, Long completed the details and the other problems before he told them that they could leave.
There were still some problems that needed to be solved before they went to Eastern Darkness. And the main thing was that they had to enter Eastern Darkness with a reasonable excuse.
When Liu Suifeng left, he couldn’t help asking, “Have you ever told Shi Qingzhou about your crazy plan?”
“Why should I tell him?” Long squinted at him.
“He must not allow you to do that if he knew.”
But Long just smiled indifferently after he heard that, “I never stopped him no matter what he tried to do.”
Liu Suifeng paused, and suddenly, he lost his voice, didn’t know what he was supposed to say at this moment.
Long sighed a breath, softly, “You should know, Liu Suifeng, that I’m not a stubborn person and I didn’t make this decision intentionally. Trust me! As long as my plan works successfully, the whole Tianlong Dynasty will no longer be bothered by the foreigner in at least a hundred years.”
Liu Suifeng frowned, asking, “But what if it failed?”
“Don’t be silly. There are still the princess, General Shi, and the parents of the princess. It won’t change anything even though it failed.”
Liu Suifeng was shocked by what he said, “So, you had never considered your own life?”
“Not yet.” Long smiled, “No one will choose to die as long as there is a chance. I’ll come back, alive. Trust me!”
“Well then, I still have one last question.”
“Okay, I’m listening.”
“Shi was influenced by the Golden Venomous insects… Have you ever thought that he might leave the princess, who was almost two years old, and the whole Tianlong Dynasty alone? Then it will be all the people’s tragedy if you’re dead.”
“He won’t.” Long slowly lowered his head as he said.
“Are you sure?”
“Because Shi Qingshan is still alive.”
For a moment, Liu Suifeng even forgot to breathe.
“Liu Suifeng. I once had a covenant of life and death with Shi. And I never doubted that he will follow me to hell if I died one day. But, it will take him some time before he does it… At least, he has to put Shi Family in the first place to consider. Therefore, he will not allow himself to die until the princess becomes an emperor or, he becomes an emperor.”
Liu Suifeng took a deep breath, looking at Long unbelievably, “What?”
Long sighed again, “Nothing… Forget it. It’s not possible… Besides, we just quarreled. I won’t leave him and die alone. So, please rest assured. I promise, without more than 70 percent of the success rate, I will not risk my life.”
“You…” Now, Liu Suifeng really couldn’t find anything to stop him.
“I will take Ouyang Chuan with me. So take care of yourself,” said Long, with a gentle smile.
Liu Suifeng answered unwillingly, “He is my senior brother. Keep him away from the danger, or I won’t forgive you if he gets any hurt in Eastern Darkness.”
“Don’t worry. I will give him back to you, safe and unscathed.” Long smiled.
Liu Suifeng curled his lips and snorted, “May it be. Otherwise, you know what the consequences are.”
“Haha.” Long laughed out loud and then waved his hand, “Okay. You should go now.”
Liu Suifeng secretly sighed in his heart and left, holding Ouyang Chuan’s hand.
After they left, Long also took a deep sigh in his heart.
Shi was far crazier than Liu Suifeng had thought.
So of course, he couldn’t die.
It was true that they were still in a ‘cold war’, but he would do something horrible once if he died.
Therefore, he had to ensure his safety, at least for Shi… And he did have 70 percent of the success rate!
