Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 319

Chapter 319. How About You Being the Emperor? (I)

Wang Qi and his men didn't join Long and the others until the latter finished breakfast.

At that time, Long was rubbing his stomach.

He seemed to be stuffed.

Seeing this, Ouyang Chuan was quite gloating. “You don't even have to work, yet you are already stuffed. Tut-tut.”

Ying Feng was unhappy to hear this, “Childe Ouyang!”

Ouyang Chuan looked at Ying Feng speechlessly. “You work too hard defending your master, don't you?”

Ying Feng didn't change his face, “This is my duty.”

“Ahem.” Wang Qi coughed. He didn't want to see Ouyang Chuan fight with Ying Feng… people might die.

“How did you catch up with us so quickly?” Long asked Wang Qi and the others curiously.

Wang Qi replied, “We spent a long time fighting, but after we got rid of them, we hurried on our way. That's why.”

“Oh, I see.” Long nodded. “I was curious just now.”

Long continued, “Have you guys eaten anything?”

“Not yet.”

“Then have something first. We can get started until then.”

“Alright.” The others agreed.

After they had breakfast, they continued on their way.

The next few days were peaceful like before.

Finally, on this day, they arrived at the imperial city.

“Huh…” Long let out a long breath. “Finally, we are here. Why does it feel like we just experienced a long march of 25,000 miles?”

Long said the last few words in a very low voice, so even Ouyang Chuan and Ying Feng did not hear him clearly.

“What did you say?” Ouyang Chuan asked.

Long smiled awkwardly as he shook his head. “No, I didn't say anything.”

Ouyang Chuan glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask more.

Long and his team entered the city smoothly.

They even paid a little bit of money to make it happen.

They were originally smuggled merchants, so it was normal for them to get connections.

They entered the city safely, and then rented a private house, which was relatively cheap.

Now that they planned to do business here in the imperial city, they should at least have a place to live.

Cheap houses were preferred by many foreign merchants.

They moved all their stuffs into the house.

With Long's special identity, he naturally deserved an “independent” room. But both Ouyang Chuan and Ying Feng lived with him to cover up.

A total of ten people were divided into three rooms.

Long collapsed on the bed as soon as he got into the room, just like a dead dog with no energy at all.

Ouyang Chuan twitched his mouth to see him like this. “Hey, you are too… are you really so tired?”

“Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course I'm tired. Don't bother me. I need a good rest.”

After speaking, Long closed his eyes directly.

Ouyang Chuan set up another bed for himself in the room.

But the so-called bed was just a patchwork of wooden boards.

However, such treatment was much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

Instead of sleeping, Ying Feng went out to do his job.

If his master lived here, he had to check the surroundings first.

Also, he had to figure out how to retreat once the enemy came.

These were the duties of the Shadow Guardians!

“Lin Wei.” When Ying Feng came out, Wang Qi stopped him. Lin Wei was a fake name of Ying Feng for the time being.

Ying Feng nodded. “What's wrong? Anything?”

Wang Qi lowered his voice slightly. “Do you intend to check outside?”

Ying Feng nodded. “I do.”

Wang Qi said, “Let me join you then.”

Ying Feng looked at him and nodded. “Okay.”

They left together.

Long slept tight in the room.

It was already dark when he woke up.

After sleeping for several hours, Long finally eased up and didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.

He did have a feeling that his bones almost fell apart in the past few days!

Getting up from the bed, Long was a bit dissatisfied to find that Ouyang Chuan, who had laughed at him, was still asleep.

So he walked over and kicked his leg directly.

For an instant, Ouyang Chuan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp.

Even Long was stunned.

Ouyang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Long. “It's really dangerous for you to do so. Every martial artist has his own instincts. You are lucky that I didn't sense danger. Otherwise I might have got you injured just now. What should I do if I hurt you?”

Long blinked, and then sarcastically questioned, “Can't you even tell who I am under such circumstance? We are alone in this room, alright? Also, why do you blame me for your mistake? You are the one who can't tell who is in front of you. Aren't you ashamed to blame me? Excuse me?!”

Ouyang Chuan even lost his ability to retort him.

Long kicked him one more time in disgust. “Get up! Don't get in the way here!”

Ouyang Chuan's mouth twitched. “What do you want me to do?”

“Get me some food of course. Can't you tell that I am hungry?”

Ouyang Chuan thought to himself, “You're hungry… And yet you asked me haughtily, seriously?

Forgot it. It's no good for an ordinary person to fight against the emperor!”

Thinking of this, Ouyang Chuan curled his lips and said, “Fine, you wait here. I'll get you some food.”

“Well, I'll wait for you. Make haste. It won't be good if I'm starved.”

Ouyang Chuan was speechless.

No matter how dissatisfied Ouyang Chuan might be, he still left.

As expected, Long didn't wait long before Ouyang Chuan sent him food.

Long was so hungry that he gobbled up immediately.

As a matter of course, Ouyang Chuan wouldn't just get food for Long. He found some for himself as well.

Therefore, he ate a lot as well.

When they were almost done eating, Ying Feng returned.

And he brought back a note.

“Huh?” Long blinked. “Who sent you this?”

“Our partner here. I didn't contact them. They gave me this because they discovered us.”

“Oh, I got this.” Long nodded.

Taking the note, Long found it was about the current status of Xu You and Fang Shuoyang. Also, they wanted to know if there were any instructions.
