Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Shi Qingzhou leapt and dodged the arrow easily.

The assassin saw that he failed and turned to flee.

Shi Qingzhou sneered. “Send one hundred soldiers and five Shadow Guardians to chase him!”

The Shadow Guardians and the soldiers quickly went after the assassin.

Shi Qingzhou himself stood there without moving.

“Dig! Even if we have to dig to the bottom, we have to find him!”

“Yes!” Everyone hurriedly answered.

Liu Suifeng came over and said slowly, “Is the assassination a trick to lure us away?”

“It’s very possible.” Shi Qingzhou replied briefly, as if he didn’t want to talk much.

Liu Suifeng opened his mouth but said nothing.

At this moment, in the valley, King of Three sneered coldly at Long Xiaoyuan. “You’re really lucky. Your Empress is worried about you.”

Long Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes and sneered. “Isn’t this nonsense? He is my Empress. Of course he is worried about me. Do you think he is worried about you?”

King of Three sneered. “Cut the crap. I didn’t plan to kill you so early, but you try so hard to seek death, so I can only fulfill your wish.”

King of Three’s voice was extremely cold.

Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes. “Oh? What do you want to do?”

“What do I want?” King of Three smiled coldly. “You’ll find out soon.”

As he said, he clapped his hands, and Long Xiaoyuan saw two people in black walking over with another two people.

Long Xiaoyuan was familiar with both of them.

One was Ouyang Chuan, and the other was Ying Qiu!

Long Xiaoyuan was shocked.

King of Three giggled.

“Emperor of Tianlong Dynasty, who do you think is more powerful, your Shadow Guardian or Ouyang Chuan?”

As he spoke, King of Three playfully waved his dagger at the faces of Ying Qiu and Ouyang Chuan.

The eyes of Ouyang Chuan and Ying Qiu were empty. Obviously they were controlled by King of Three.

Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and sneered. “Are you going to lose, you stray dog? King of Three, I think you should wake up from your daydream of ruling the world. You can’t even handle Northern Barbarians, let alone the three kingdoms. Are you dreaming?”

King of Three’s face darkened immediately, and he went to hit Long with his palm. At this moment, Ying Qiu with vacant eyes suddenly shook violently and leapt in front of Long Xiaoyuan and defended him.

King of Three didn’t intend to kill Long Xiaoyuan, so Ying Qiu just shook slightly.

“Good!” King of Three turned gloomy and he looked at Ying Qiu with admiration and madness. “He is heavily drugged, but he remained sensible. He deserves to be a Shadow Guardian cultivated by the imperial palace!”

As he said, he leaped towards Ying Qiu and pressed him on a few spots. Ying Qiu spat out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes became clear.

Ying Qiu had come back to his sense and stepped in front of Long Xiaoyuan.

King of Three laughed. “Such a loyal Shadow Guardian is really rare. In this case, let’s see if you can protect your emperor.”

King of Three gave the order to Ouyang Chuan.

“Ouyang Chuan, kill this Shadow Guardian and Long Xiaoyuan, and you can be free, free.”

His words echoed.

As if his voice was ringing in everyone’s ears.

Long Xiaoyuan turned pale. As expected, this was the order. Ouyang Chuan…

His eyes flashed slightly.

At this moment, Ouyang Chuan was already fighting with Ying Qiu.

Ying Qiu had never fought with Ouyang Chuan, so Long Xiaoyuan did not know how powerful Ouyang was.

He had asked Shi Qingzhou about this question. Shi Qingzhou said Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were better than Ying Qiu.

He was right from the look of it.

Although Ying Qiu was not defeated yet, he was going to lose the battle.

Ouyang Chuan stabbed his sword into Ying Qiu’s shoulder and then turned to leap towards Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t step back, but he shouted, “Ouyang Chuan, see it clearly. If you want to be free, stab here. Come on!”

Long Xiaoyuan was pointing at the place slightly above his heart.

Ouyang Chuan’s eyes glinted, and his sword was about to reach Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan stepped forward. “Come on, kill me! Stab here. After you kill me, you can be free! You won’t be controlled by others anymore!”

Long Xiaoyuan roared.

The sharp sword finally pierced the place slightly above Long Xiaoyuan’s heart…

Long Xiaoyuan fell down, as if he was dead.

Ouyang Chuan’s eyes finally got emotional.

King of Three was about to come over to check on Long Xiaoyuan. He asked Ouyang Chuan to kill Long Xiaoyuan for a purpose.

In fact, he had prepared a man whose figure was similar to Long Xiaoyuan.

What he needed to do now was to move Long Xiaoyuan’s face to the man. The job would be perfect and no one could detect the difference.

Of course, King of Three just needed to control that person, who did not even need Long Xiaoyuan’s memory. The face was sufficient.

Thinking of this, King of Three went to see if Long Xiaoyuan was dead.

At this moment, Ouyang Chuan suddenly stabbed at King of Three.

The three kings were slightly startled. “Ouyang Chuan, do you want to die? Do you think that you can do as you like after my hint expires? I can give you another hint anytime, so you’d better stop!”

The response to his cold and angry roar was the fiercer attack from Ouyang Chuan.

Ying Qiu joined as well.

Ying Qiu had just been stabbed by Ouyang Chuan’s sword, but he was wounded on his shoulder, so he could still move.

Therefore, Ying Qiu joined the battle.

King of Three was furious with the joint attack of Ying Qiu and Ouyang Chuan.

Just as he was about to summon his men to come over, there was a loud bang from the top of the valley.

Three figures leapt down lightly.

One of them was Liu Suifeng!

Shi Qingzhou also leapt down from above.

King of Three found that he had underestimated his enemies. He had thought that there were devices protecting him, and those people could not come here even if they dug up the ground in the wilderness.

To his surprise, they managed to come.

And they arrived was so fast! He didn’t have time to implement his plan!

King of Three’s face darkened. He used his sword to block Ouyang Chuan’s attack, and he ran for Long Xiaoyuan.

He had to leave since these people had arrived.

Long Xiaoyuan was the best hostage even if he was a corpse!

Although he planned so well, Ying Qiu and Ouyang Chuan would not let him succeed.

It was not easy to fight off Ouyang Chuan when he was going all out, while Ying Qiu tried to stop King of Three with his life.

King of Three could not get close to Long Xiaoyuan. Seeing that Shi Qingzhou and the rest were about to arrive, King of Three made up his mind and ran to the other side. His other subordinates finally appeared and escorted him away.

Ouyang Chuan and Ying Qiu were about to catch up with King of Three, but they were stopped by his men.

At this moment, Liu Suifeng finally arrived.

He killed the men with Ouyang Chuan and went to chase King of Three.

At this moment, Shi Qingzhou finally got to Long Xiaoyuan.

Looking at Long Xiaoyuan lying on the ground with blood on his chest, Shi Qingzhou felt his body stiffened.

Just as he was going to feel Long Xiaoyuan’s nostrils, Liu Suifeng came back from the chasing. He realized that the most important thing right now was not to angrily capture King of Three, but to cure Long Xiaoyuan!

“I’ll take a look.” Liu Suifeng took out his medical bag and quickly felt Long Xiaoyuan’s pulse.

Shi Qingzhou was frozen like a wooden sculpture, motionless.

Liu Suifeng quickly checked.

And he immediately dealt with Long Xiaoyuan’s wound.

A moment later, Liu Suifeng said, “Shi Qingzhou, don’t worry. He’s fine.”

Shi Qingzhou paused and said slowly, “He’s fine?”

“He’s fine. The sword… didn’t pierce his heart. He’s fine, but he needs to leave here immediately to avoid infection.”

Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath, nodding. “Let’s go.”

Liu Suifeng didn’t delay and quickly used gauze to cover Long Xiaoyuan’s his chest. He asked two Shadow Guardians carry Long Xiaoyuan’s arms and legs and a third Shadow Guardian to carry the back. In this way, they left the valley quickly.
