Chapter 320: How About You Being the Emperor? (II)

Long thought for a while, and enjoined, “Don’t contact them, and don’t expose our situation here. That can wait.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Feng immediately said, “Got it, Master.”

Long nodded. “You haven’t eaten yet, right?”

Ying Feng answered, “Yes.”

Long smiled and said, “Then go and eat something.”

Two days later, Long and his team finally “settled” here.

In the daytime, they all went to the market to set up stalls, exchange with people, and do business.

Long joined them as well.

It was fair to say the process was kind of interesting.

However, Long still felt a little embarrassed when he peddled.

Given he had been getting used to this along the way, he did a good job there.

On this day, Long saw Xu You!

His eyes flickered immediately when he saw him.

The Shadow Guardian had received Ying Feng’s order, so it shouldn’t be them who revealed their arrival.

Therefore, Xu You probably didn’t know that he was here. But it would be bad if he was recognized by Xu You and attracted suspicion.

Consciously, Long turned his face slightly, hoping that he might not attract Xu You’s attention.

However, perhaps they were destined to “meet” each other.

In fact, it wasn’t Long, but the stall and the gadgets inside attracted Xu You!

Numerous thoughts emerged in Long’s mind immediately.

The reason why he didn’t meet Xu You and the others right after he came here was because he wanted to hide himself better.

However, their purpose here was to assassinate the emperor and help Fang Shuoyang reach the top.

Of course, if Fang Shuoyang was unwilling to do so, then things would be more troublesome.

Therefore, hiding all the time was just a dream. Now that they encountered, he should take it as God’s will!

Having this in mind, Long lowered his voice and said, “Xu You, I’m Brother Long. Act normally.”

Xu You was startled at first, almost failing to hide his expression, but the warning followed made him restrain himself at once.

“Let’s make an appointment to have a meeting. You don’t have to come. I want to meet Fang Shuoyang alone.”

“Oh, this stuff is really good.” Xu You took out an ivory. “I want this one.”

“Hey, here you are, childe.”

Xu You left, playing with the stuff in his hands happily.

Long breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to peddle.

At that night, Long and his team went back as usual.

Ying Feng came over and whispered, “Our man here came tonight, saying that tonight is the right time to meet.”

“So soon?” Long was a little surprised. He thought they wouldn’t meet until at least tomorrow.

“Yes, but not here.”

Long nodded. “Okay, I see.”

After dinner, they changed their suits first, and then left silently.

Indeed, there were only two people left: Ouyang Chuan and Long.

They were no longer dressed as smugglers, but as civilians of Eastern Darkness.

Ying Feng did not follow, but went there first before he told Ouyang Chuan the address.

It was also Ying Feng who told Ouyang Chuan to take Long there.

Long and Ouyang Chuan arrived in the forest in the eastern suburbs.

When they got there, Ying Feng greeted them immediately. “This way, please.”

Following him, Long and Ouyang Chuan entered the bamboo forest and walked for a quarter of an hour.

Long finally saw Fang Shuoyang.

He came here alone.

“Fang Shuoyang.”

“Long live, Your Majesty.”

Long raised his hand. “Rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Well, let’s skip these tedious etiquettes.” Long looked at Fang Shuoyang up and down, and then smiled. “I haven’t seen you for a long time. You seem to be more handsome.”

Fang Shuoyang found no word to respond.

“Just kidding. But…” Long became serious. “Fang Shuoyang, you know your identity now. So let me ask you, what are your plans?”

“I, Fang Shuoyang, am a member of Tianlong Dynasty.” Fang Shuoyang said firmly.

Long’s lips quirked up. “Really? Then what if I tell you that it doesn’t matter whether you are from Eastern Darkness or Tianlong Dynasty. We are all human beings anyway. As long as we are not enemies, we are good. What do you think?” Fang Shuoyang looked at Long in confusion.

Long smiled. “Let me put it another way. Fang Shuoyang, what will you do if Eastern Darkness is destroyed?”

Fang Shuoyang said decisively, “I won’t feel a thing.”

“If you say so. But destroying a country is definitely not a good thing to do… The truth is, if possible, of course we prefer to be good neighbors rather than enemies; and if we can, why should we start a war instead of making the innocent people suffer?”

Fang Shuoyang said softly, “But the royal family of Eastern Darkness… they don’t think so.”

“Yeah, they don’t think so, because they regard our Tianlong Dynasty as an enemy. But you are different. You won’t regard me as an enemy, will you?”

Fang Shuoyang was taken aback.

Long smiled and said, “Fang Shuoyang, I want you to be the emperor of Eastern Darkness. What do you think?”

Fang Shuoyang took a breath. “It’s…”

Long patted on his shoulder. “Think about it, a man is destined to make a difference and protect those he loves when living in this world…”

“I assume you know exactly what dangers Xu You is facing right now, don’t you?”

“You are also the prince of this country, so you do have the right to secede to the throne, don’t you?”

“If you became the emperor, then Tianlong Dynasty and Eastern Darkness don’t have to fight against each other at least when we are alive. Isn’t it also a good thing not to get the innocent people involved?”

“Fang Shuoyang, you have a few days to think about it by yourself. I don’t want you to regret it, so think about it…”
