Chapter 327 - Infiltration Plan (I)
Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
After exchanging their messages, Long and Shi changed their outfits and secretly left the rented house.
âQingzhou, look at the sugar-coated haws over there! May I have one?â Long said with great interest, like a child.
Shi turned to look at him. âYou want to eat it?â
âYes, I do miss the taste.â
âOh? âShi frowned. âWell, if you want to eat it, then go ahead.â
Long was so happy, âAll right, letâs go.â
Then Long took Shiâs hand toward where the sugar-coated haws was sold.
Long bought two sticks of sugar-coated haws, and handed one to Shi.
Two big men actually enjoyed themselves eating the haws and didnât care about other peopleâs surprised look.
They were not themselves now, anyway. Long really didnât feel any pressure at all.
They soon had two sticks of sugar-coated haws in their bellies.
Long licked his mouth. âQingzhou, weâve been out a long time. Itâs almost time to go back.â
âIs it? â Shi wasnât impressed. âNot half an hour. â
Long said softly, âThereâs nothing we need to do. After all, weâre new here, and weâd better be careful when we go shopping.â
Shi nodded. âYouâre right. Just be careful.â
They went out, harvested two sticks of sugar-coated haws, and then went back.
However, although Long and Shi hadnât been around for a long time, they were still being targeted by one person.
The man followed Long and Shi to the house where they lived.
Then, the man narrowed his eyes and turned to withdraw, but as he turned, a deadly crisis struck from behind him. He had only time to stare before he fell.
Shi jumped over to the man with Long.
Ying Feng grabbed the man by the neck.
It was Ying Feng who did it. Actually, Shi and Long had long discovered that man but they didnât act. They just led the man here without any trace and let others do it.
âMaster,â said Ying Feng.
Long nodded. âLetâs go back first. Interrogate him. As it happens, we donât know much about the intelligence here, so we can see how much this man knows.â
âGot it.â Ying Feng answered at once.
Long and Shi went back into the house, while the man was taken away by Ying Feng.
Back home, Long curled his lip, sat down at the table, and poured a glass of water.
âWeâve been out for a while and somebodyâs been after us. Gee.â
Shi pressed the lower corners of his mouth. âWell, be more careful in the future.â
âQingzhou, do you think we should move to another place?â
âNo, it would be more suspicious if we leave.â
âAll right.â Long nodded and poured Shi a glass of water.
Shi picked up the cup and took a sip. A moment later, he put it down. âDid you really give Wang Qi and the others poison?â
âEh? â Long blinked, and said innocently, âQingzhou, donât you believe me?â
Shi gave him a half-smile. âI do not believe you.â
âWhy? â Long was puzzled. âWhy donât you believe me?â
Shi gave Long a faint look. âNo reason. Itâs just based on my knowledge about you.â
âAll right.â Long shrugged. âYou are the one who knows me best in the world. It is true that I did not give them poison.â
Shi looked at Long. âWhat did you give them?â
Long twitched his lips, âPills to prevent the cold.â
Shi said dryly, âThey donât know that, right?â
Long curled his lip. âHow could I tell them? I didnât say it.â
Shi chuckled. âYou didnât say it.â
âYes. Whatâs the matter? Qingzhou, why do you suddenly ask that?â
Shi said dryly, âYou may come in.â
Long looked puzzlingly in the direction of the door and paused.
Because Wang Qi and Wang Shu were actually standing there.
Surprised, Long looked at Shi.
Shi looked faintly at Wang Qi and Wang Shu. âDid you hear that?â
Wang Qi was shocked, with tears shining in his eyes. âYes, we heard it. Thank you.â
Wang Qi knelt down.
Long waved his hand. âWang Qi, we are partners now, so donât mention it.â
Wang Qi nodded. âYes, I see.â
Long smiled. âYou have come in time. I have two things for you to attend to.â
âAt your command,â Wang Qi said immediately.
Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Qi and Wang Shu left.
Shi looked at Long. âArenât you afraid of getting into trouble? â
Long sighed. âWe havenât got much time, and besides, weâve got a little chance, havenât we?â
Shi nodded. âI think weâd better meet Fang Shuoyang again.â
âSo I thought, but these days are not suitable. There is good news from him.â
âGood news?â Shi raised his eyebrows. âDo you mean...â
âYeah.â Long laughed. âDidnât Lord Zhou want to take him back? Originally, Fang Shuoyang had been refusing him, but since Lord Zhou asked again, Fang Shuoyang could only accept it as it should be. It would be better if he were put in another official post. In that case he would be more justified, wouldnât he?â
Shi thought for a moment and said, âAll right. As far as the plan goes, we have to go further.â
âWell, Qingzhou, when I came here, I gave myself two months, not more than three, but now, with you by my side, I can wait.â
Shiâs mouth slightly curved. âOh? Do you really think so?â
âSure.â Long stared at him.
Shi was silent for a moment and said seriously, âWhen weâre almost done on our side, letâs go to find Fang Shuoyang.â
âYou think so?â Long looked at Shi in surprise.
Shi raised his eyebrows. âYou think the same way?â
Long touched his nose. âYes, I thought so, but I was afraid you would find it dangerous.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shi squinted his eyes. âYouâre afraid Iâll object, are you? â
Long nodded his head. âYes, I was afraid you would object.â
Shi smiled faintly. âIsnât that what worries me the most about you coming here? But you did it anyway.â
Long didnât know what to say for a moment.
Shi continued, âDo you still think that if you die, I will stay with our son for the sake of Tianlong Dynasty and for the sake of my father?â
