Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 317 - Run for Dear Life (I)

Chapter 317. Run for Dear Life (I)

The next day, Wang Qi and his three brothers made some preparations.

Then, late into the night, Long and his men, disguised as smugglers, left the Black Wind Forest.

Of the three added to the team, two had actually done smuggling before, and they were also loyal to Wang Qi.

While the other person had a particular skill.

His skill was imitation. He could imitate anyone’s handwriting as long as he saw it once.

He could imitate people’s voice as long as he heard it once.

He was also good at ventriloquism, and folk language in the Eastern Darkness.

In fact, the man lived in the Eastern Darkness for more than a decade.

It might be useful for the team to take him!

Long was the weakest of them all, and because he was posing as a smuggler, he had to be a little more rugged in appearance.

Long felt like a bandit when he saw his new look!

In another sense, smugglers were a type of bandits.

The same went for Ouyang Chuan whose looks were much similar to Long’s after the transform.

Outsiders must think they were brothers!

Then, if Ouyang Chuan followed Long, others would take it for granted.

And the image of shadow wind was the best!

He had the air of a cold swordsman. Others would think he was a tough guy.

And Wang Qi’s image also changed. He looked wilder than before, with a very ugly scar on his face.

Wang Mao and the other two were still what they used to be. They were just wearing different clothes.

Ten of them left the Black Wind Forest and headed straight for the Eastern Darkness’s border.

Although the border was not so peaceful now, there were still many caravans taking risks to do business.

The next morning, they were at the border of the Eastern Darkness.

The gatekeeper looked at them up and down carefully.

It was Wang Mao and the man, called Zhang Guang, who had lived in the Eastern Darkness for more than a decade, who approached the gatekeeper.

Zhang Guang spoke a lot of the Eastern Darkness dialect immediately and fluently.

This made the keeper’s face look a lot better immediately.

After giving some money to the gatekeeper, they were let in.

Long and others looked as normal as ever.

Another guard said to the previous one, “We have to be careful now. The two countries are likely to go to war, so don’t let the spies in. Or we’re dead! ”

“I got it. But surely these are not spies.”

“Yes, I have watched them carefully.”

“I told you.”

“Well, let’s get on with it. Don’t let up.”

“Take it easy.”

Long did not know, and could not possibly hear, what those two had said about them.

Now they were truly inside the Eastern Darkness.

It was noon, and Long, who was usually so spoiled, could not bear the long journey!

So they found a stall for dinner.

They couldn’t be too picky about everything now that they were out there.

Moreover, with their status, it was not possible to enter the restaurant.

How could a rich man still smuggle?

They know it was all about risking their lives.

So, they had to eat at the stall.

To be safe, Long couldn’t be particular about what he ate.

So, like everyone else, Long gobbled up his food like he had starved for a long time.

In fact, though, Long was so hungry.

Could he not be hungry after all this journey?

Every time they arrived at a place, they would do some business.”

What they resold was the things of Tianlong Dynasty, including gadgets, antiques, furs and so on. In short, they were multifarious.

Since they were disguised as smugglers, they must have looked like them!

Otherwise, once they were seen through, they were doomed.

So, everywhere they went, they did business and they bought things.

They would probably sell these things to other cities, maybe to Tianlong Dynasty.

That was smuggling!

Long was idle when they were “selling” something.

It was also a time when he could rest.

“Do you want to contact Fang Shuoyang?”

Ouyang Chuan whispered to Long, who of course knew what the man was there for

Long shook his head. “It is not the right time. Fang Shuoyang is in the imperial Palace. We can contact him until we get there. And besides, they’re not at peace, we couldn’t expose our whereabouts.”

“All right.” Ouyang Chuan nodded and asked no more questions.

Long closed his eyes a little, feeling as though he couldn’t stand the journey and the pain with his strength.

Alas, he felt that his body was useless.

Two days later, Long was ill!

Ying Feng was worried about him, but Ouyang Chuan was a little speechless.

In the evening, they finally stayed at an inn.

However, they had booked only two rooms, one of which was a big, shared house.

Long and the other two lived in another room.

Ying Feng was treating blisters on Long’s feet.

Ouyang Chuan brought out a very effective wound medicine from Niu Suifeng.

“You’re so useless. We’re all fine.” Ouyang Chuan said.

Ouyang Chuan chuckled. “Am I telling the truth? Look at you, how delicate you are!”

“Get out! “Long was feeble.

“Tut, tut.” Ouyang Chuan pursed his mouth, but the hand gesture was still gentle.

Long groaned, and soon after the medicine had been taken, he fell asleep.

Ying Feng looked disapprovingly at Ouyang Chuan.”Our master is delicate, Mr. Ouyang, please don’t tease him anymore.”

“No, don’t call me Mr. Ouyang.”

“Yes, Childe Ouyang.” He changed the address.

Ouyang Chuan waved his hand. “Be careful. Walls have ears.”

Ying Feng nodded. “Ok. If someone is stronger than you, it’s possible that we won’t find out.”

Ouyang Chuan touched his chin. “That’s not likely, but just be careful.”

With that, Ouyang Chuan glanced at Long. “He fell asleep so soon. It’s getting late, and I’m going to bed.”

With that, Ouyang Chuan took out the bedding that the inn had already prepared, made a bed underneath, and went to sleep.

Ying Feng found a place to sleep, too.

Long had a sweet dream. In his dream, he saw Shi smiling at him and reaching out to him. “Yuan, I miss you so much.”

Long thought that was unlikely for Shi to be so coy or aggressive.

However, the dream was so real.

So Long pounced on him anyway.

Then Long woke up because he had hit his head! He woke up in pain!

Ouyang Chuan was speechless, looking this way. “You can bump your head in your sleep? You are too…”

Ying Feng, of course, wouldn’t say anything.

Long’s head-butting was a bit funny, though, so Ying Feng looked away.

Ying Feng knew that Long was not a stingy master, much less a man who never took his men’s life seriously, or Ying Feng would not have shown the slightest interest.

His willingness to show his emotions now said a lot.

Long curled his lip, then touched the spot where he had been hit. “Day breaks?”

“Yes, it’s daylight. See what you can do?”

Long didn’t answer, because then someone knocked at the door.

Ouyang Chuan went up and opened the door.

Wang Qi and three other people came in. “Bro, are you all right?”

Long shook his head. “I’m fine, but I am not sure if I keep this up a little longer.”

Wang Qi smiled. “It’s all right. We figured out a way.”

“Huh?”
