Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

391. Capture an Honorable Man (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Under the leadership of Ying Feng, they successfully broke through Black Wind Forest and immediately ran to Tianlong Dynasty.

Long no longer cared about Ying Feng. He was by Huhe’s side and Liu was also there.

Long had to admit that Liu was a perfect partner.

Not only was he a great martial artist, he also had supreme medical skills. When Long arrived, Liu had successfully stopped the bleeding and saved Huhe’s life. However, the arrow had yet to be removed. A suitable place was needed and he’d better not do it in such an environment. But if Long requested, it would still be fine to take it out there.

Looking at the person who was lying on the ground and just saved, Liu asked, “Why didn’t I know there is a mechanism there?”

Long smiled and said, “Mr. Fu arranged it beforehand.”

“Oh? When did he do that? Why didn’t I know?” Liu was very surprised.

Long smiled and looked at him. “If you knew everything, then you would be the emperor, not me.”

Liu was speechless, wondering whether he should feel happy or unhappy.

He thought he was underestimated. Absolutely.

“When do you think we can take this arrow out?” Liu asked in the end.

He obviously didn’t want to talk so much with Long.

“What do you think? He won’t die now, right?”

“Of course not.” Liu was still very confident in his medical skills. “Even if we don’t take it out in three days, he will be fine.”

“It’s like this.” Long was much happier. “That’s good. Then bring him back first. As for whether to save him or not, there’s no rush. Just keep the arrow there to scare him.”

Liu had no objections. “Where should I take him?”

“Of course the general’s residence,” Long looked at Liu like he was an idiot. Liu was so annoyed that he couldn’t help saying through gritted teeth, “I thought you might want to put him in Black Wind Forest!”

“Why would I do that?” Long looked at Liu disapprovingly. “The crown prince was caught in Black Wind Forest, so Eastern Darkness will directly destroy it even if they just want to save their face. We must first occupy this crucial place. However, it is not safe here.”

Liu nodded. “Alright, don’t tell me about these entanglements. I’m too lazy to think about it. I’ll bring him back now.”

“Alright, you go first. I’ll say something to Mr. Fu.”

“I think it’s better for the Shadow Guardians to send him back. I’ll follow you.”

“It’s fine.” Long waved directly. “I’ll be safe. Besides, I have enough Shadow Guardians with me.”

“Alright.” Liu didn’t insist and then he left with Huhe.

Long found Mr. Fu under the guidance of Shadow Guardians.

“Mr. Fu, thank you for your cooperation earlier.”

“Don’t mention it.” Mr. Fu immediately waved his hand. “I’m glad that we helped you.”

“Well, Mr. Fu, I’m here to tell you something. You can make your own decision,” Long said seriously.

“Oh?” Mr. Fu was surprised by Long’s words and he hurriedly said, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Instead of beating around the bush, Long said directly, “Mr. Fu, we just caught a man. It’s Huhe Huangcheng, the crown prince of Northern Barbarians. This person’s identity was very special. He was captured in Black Wind Forest, which will bring disaster to this place. Soon, the army of Tianlong Dynasty will come to take over this place. So, Mr. Fu, you have two choices now. The first is to continue living here, but you have to tell your men not to have any conflicts with the army. Especially when they fight against Eastern Darkness, your men will have to assist them. The other option is to leave first with your men. I can promise you that you can come back when the relationship between Tianlong Dynasty and Eastern Darkness becomes good and they are no longer enemies. Black Wind Forest will still be your turf.”

Hearing Long’s words, Mr. Fu’s expression changed. He didn’t expect that Long would say such a serious thing, and that one day, they would be forced to leave this place.

All these men had nowhere to go and gathered at this place.

They had lived in Black Wind Forest for many years and asking them to leave was undoubtedly like taking their lives.

However, if they stayed, once the two nations fought again, their Black Wind Forest would no longer be peaceful.

Moreover, after what happened to the crown prince of Northern Barbarians, Black Wind Forest already got involved in it. It was impossible to be peaceful even if there was no war.

But if they stayed... would the troops of Tianlong Dynasty live peacefully with these wanted criminals?

Furthermore, among the two hundred people here, there were many who hated soldiers.

Under such circumstances, was it possible to ask the two sides to get along, with their heads not around?

Mr. Fu found it hard to make the decision.

Long looked at him and sighed. “Mr. Fu, you don’t have much time to think about it now. How about this? You can gather everyone and ask their opinions. No matter what, you have to give me an answer in the shortest amount of time.”

Long said that softly. Although his voice was soft, the content couldn’t be refuted.

Mr. Fu also became serious. “Alright, I’ll go and summon everyone.”

Long nodded. “I will leave someone behind. Tell him your decision later.”

Mr. Fu nodded. “I see.”

Long nodded and said nothing more.

Then, Long quickly returned to the general’s residence under the guidance of Shadow Guardians.

Although he did things fast enough, it was almost time for dinner when he arrived.

Liu was staying in his room. Oh, Huhe was also put there.

Ouyang Chuan wasn’t with Liu. He was waiting for Ying Feng to “poison” the soldiers in the military camp.

Due to the accident in Black Wind Forest, the army had a reason for the strongest martial law.

Under such a strict situation, it wasn’t easy for Ying Feng to poison them successfully. In addition, Huhe was already arrested by the men of Tianlong Dynasty. Thus, all the spies of Northern Barbarians in the military camp would begin to take action!

Long asked Ouyang Chuan to watch over there because he planned to catch them all in one go!

They didn’t hide the news that Huhe had been captured by Tianlong Dynasty and the army of Tianlong Dynasty would head directly to Black Wind Forest to take over the place.

Therefore, in order to save their crown prince, or in order to have a leading role in the upcoming negotiations with Tianlong Dynasty, the spies of Northern Barbarians must ensure that their operation would succeed!

Only if their operation was successful and a lot of soldiers of Tianlong Dynasty were poisoned, would the leaders of Tianlong Dynasty possibly give their crown prince back in order to save their own men!

Otherwise, their crown prince would be in danger!

Or, even if their crown prince went back, the price they needed to pay would be too heavy!

Therefore, no matter what the reason was, the spies of Northern Barbarians, including those who were hidden very well, would definitely make their operation succeed.

The better-guarded the army of Tianlong Dynasty was, the more likely more spies of Northern Barbarians would be exposed!

Some spies might be from Tianlong Dynasty, but they had chosen to support Northern Barbarians!

This was all Long’s plan.

He hoped that he could catch all those spies and clear all the unstable factors at the border!
