Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler - Chapter 454: This Result Is the Best (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Shi Qingzhou’s wound was a minor one, and scabs formed after three days of rest.

Of course, Liu Suifeng’s medicine played important part in it.

And Liu Suifeng was recovering as well.

He had suffered for the first two days, and he got better on the third day.

After King of Three died, the troops of the general who supported him in Northern Barbarians had failed to arrive in time.

He couldn’t save King of Three, but his troops were approaching the border.

Huhe Huangcheng’s army ambushed the general.

The battle lasted for two whole days.

It didn’t end until last night.

Now Huhe Huangcheng was in the military camp at the border of Tianlong Dynasty.

Although he had won the war, he had to fulfill some of the promises he made to Long Xiaoyuan.

Shi Qingshan was negotiating with the envoys, while Long Xiaoyuan did nothing and kept his hands off these things.

Huhe Huangcheng was said to have a bitter look on his face. Finally he won the war, but he had to cede territory and pay indemnities. How couldn’t he feel bitter?

However, it served him right.

No one would sympathize with him.

Long Xiaoyuan took Shi Qingzhou for a stroll around the border.

They walked slowly.

Because he was afraid to harm Shi Qingzhou’s recovery.

Now Shi Qingzhou was recovering, so was Liu Suifeng. Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan planned to go back to the Imperial City in two days.

This day Long Xiaoyuan had just come back from the stroll, hand in hand with Shi Qingzhou, when a Shadow Guardian came to report that Huhe Huangcheng was waiting to see him.

Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows.

“I don’t have time.”

The Shadow Guardian took the order and turned to leave.

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and stopped him, explaining kindly.

“Tell Huhe Huangcheng that he doesn’t need to see me. Our minsters are arriving soon. Ask him to wait patiently.

Before that, take it easy and feel at home. There’s no rush to be enthroned.”

The Shadow Guardian got his meaning and left.

Long Xiaoyuan laughed. He took Shi Qingzhou’s hand and went back.

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan.

“When are we leaving?” Long Xiaoyuan replied, “Let’s go tomorrow. There’s nothing to do here.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Let’s go back and see Mother. Although the message from the Shadow Guardians says she’s fine, I’m worried if I don’t see her.”

“Okay. We can wait together for your brother to be born.”

“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly.

Ouyang Chuan and Liu Suifeng had a sweet time as well.

Liu Suifeng asked, “Ouyang, King of Three is dead, and there is no big problem with Long Xiaoyuan. What do you plan to do?”

Ouyang Chuan paused and said, “What do you think?”

Liu Suifeng smiled and said, “I’ll follow you everywhere.”

Ouyang Chuan smiled. “Let’s stay in the Imperial City. Long Xiaoyuan gave us a house anyway.”

“Okay. I’ll run a clinic, which will be opened three days in a month. For the rest of the time, we will do whatever we like.”

Ouyang Chuan was speechless.

“Three days a month?”

Liu Suifeng immediately said, “Ouyang, do you think it is too long? Then make it two days.”

Ouyang Chuan’s mouth twitched. “Why don’t you just drop it?”

“Okay. I don’t do it then. It’ll be troublesome to run a clinic.”

Ouyang Chuan pouted. “Don’t you want to pass on our master’s medical skills?”

“Well…” Liu Suifeng hesitated.

Ouyang Chuan said, “You should open a clinic and accept an apprentice.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “Alright.”

The next day, Long Xiaoyuan and the others set off.

Huhe Huangcheng came over again, but he heard that Long Xiaoyuan had left. He was depressed.

However, something even more depressing was to come.

Long Xiaoyuan sent ministers over for the negotiation.

Among them, two ministers liked to complain a lot.

Of course, the two of them were not in charge.

Long Xiaoyuan said that since the ministers couldn’t understand the hardship that the soldiers had endured, they had to experience it when there was an opportunity.

Furthermore, Long Xiaoyuan ordered them to make haste on the journey.

Those ministers were sick of the long and tiring journey.

Therefore, when the ministers arrived at the border, they vented their anger on Huhe Huangcheng.

As a result, Huhe Huangcheng felt even bitterer.

At this time, Long Xiaoyuan and the others had set off like taking a sightseeing tour.

On the way to the border, they had to be a lot more careful as the enemies were lurking in the dark.

In other words, they kept alert all the time.

Now things had been settled and the enemies had died, so Long Xiaoyuan and the others relaxed a lot.

Long Xiaoyuan tormented Shi Qingzhou with various tricks along the way.

He had a lot of methods.

They had never sat in the carriage because they weren’t in the mood.

This time, they were happy on the way. In addition, Long Xiaoyuan felt energetic, so he tormented Shi Qingzhou with all his strength.

When he went too far, Shi Qingzhou even fainted from the torture.

So two days later, Long Xiaoyuan was wretchedly chased out of the carriage by Shi Qingzhou.

“Qingzhou, show me mercy. Let me in.”

Shi Qingzhou ignored him.

Long Xiaoyuan was left behind pitifully on the road.

Liu Suifeng laughed out loud. “Why are you so miserable?”

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng sadly.

“Don’t take pleasure in my misfortune. You’ll have this day sooner or later.”

“Me?” Liu Suifeng laughed. “How could I end up like you, I…”

Before Liu Suifeng could finish, he was thrown away.

It turned out that he had done something bad in the past two days, and Ouyang Chuan could not bear it anymore, so he threw Liu Suifeng out.

The two abandoned men exchanged a glance. Now neither of them could laugh at each other.

Liu Suifeng shouted, “Ouyang, you can’t do this. It’s cruel.”

Ouyang Chuan sneered from the carriage. However, he had no intention of letting Liu Suifeng in.

The abandoned men exchanged another glance. Long Xiaoyuan sneered.

“Why, who is this? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t end up like me?”

Liu Suifeng’s darkened.

Long Xiaoyuan continued, “You are pathetic. What a slap in the face.”

Liu Suifeng turned gloomier.

Long Xiaoyuan snorted coldly. “Ying Qiu!”

Soon, Ying Qiu appeared.

“Get me a horse.”

Ying Qiu’s efficiency was high. He quickly brought the horse to Long Xiaoyuan, who got on the horse and chased after Shi Qingzhou.

Liu Suifeng narrowed his eyes.

“Ying Qiu, you can’t favor him more than me.”

Ying Qiu said, “Doctor Liu, your lightness techniques are excellent, and I guess horses are of no use to you. I have to go and protect my master. Please forgive me.”

Ying Qiu went straight away.

Liu Suifeng was fuming.

They were burning the bridge after crossing it.

Long Xiaoyuan was ungrateful, so was his subordinate.

‘Birds of a feather flock together!’

Liu Suifeng chased after them with lightness techniques in anger.

During the long period after the incident.

Long Xiaoyuan was riding next to Shi Qingzhou’s carriage.

“Qingzhou, you know me. I can’t ride horses. I’m so tired. Let me in.”

“Qingzhou, show mercy to me.”

“Qingzhou, the sun is scorching outside, and I’m upset.”

“Qingzhou, the wind is up. I’m about to be blown off the horse by the wind. Help!”

“Qingzhou…”

Long Xiaoyuan muttered all the way, which overwhelmed Shi Qingzhou’s ears.

He guessed Long Xiaoyuan was getting sick after riding on the horse for so long.

Shi Qingzhou finally drew Long Xiaoyuan into the carriage with his internal strength.

Long Xiaoyuan let out a cry in surprise when he suddenly flew backwards.

But he soon smiled. “Qingzhou, you finally let me in.”

Shi Qingzhou snorted coldly. “If you keep talking nonsense or do something you shouldn’t do, I will throw you out again.”

Long Xiaoyuan swore, “Qingzhou, don’t worry. I will never touch you again.”

“You…” Shi Qingzhou was angry.

Long Xiaoyuan realized that he had said the wrong words. He hurriedly corrected. “No, I won’t touch you in the carriage, Qingzhou.”

Shi Qingzhou was amazed by his shamelessness.

Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou closer and said eagerly, “Qingzhou, I’ll massage your shoulders and waist. You must be tired, right?”

Shi Qingzhou glanced at him without objection.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately started to serve.

Shi Qingzhou was tired, and he felt comfortable when Long Xiaoyuan massaged him.

Thus, Shi Qingzhou drifted off to sleep.

As Long Xiaoyuan massaged, he got tired too, and he fell asleep, holding Shi Qingzhou in his arms.

While the two of them slept soundly, Liu Suifeng was having a hard time.

Because he couldn’t get into the carriage.

That night, the group stopped to spend the night outdoors.

Long Xiaoyuan was refreshed after a good sleep, and he was in a good mood. When he saw Liu Suifeng’s gloomy face, he burst out laughing.

Liu Suifeng was instantly irritated. “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”

“It’s hilarious.” Long Xiaoyuan giggled and went up to poke Liu Suifeng’s cheek with his finger.

“You are pathetic.”

Liu Suifeng slapped his hand away and turned to Shi Qingzhou who came from the other side.

“Shi Qingzhou, come discipline your man. He took liberties with me!”

“Did he?” Shi Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng indifferently. “With you?”

“Of course with me.”

“I see,” replied Shi Qingzhou. He said nothing else.

Liu Suifeng was shocked.

“Shi Qingzhou, that’s it?”
