385. Scheming (I)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Xu You did not like to talk to Huhe Huangcheng.
However, there was no way he could refuse, so he just chatted casually.
Huhe Huangcheng was not an idiot. Naturally, he could feel Xu You’s absent-mindedness.
However, he did not take leave, but brazened it out and kept chatting with Xu You.
After a long ti, Fang Shuoyang ca back. Xu You’s eyes lit up and he rushed to greet him. “Shuoyang, here you are.”
Fang Shuoyang was amused by the desperate way that Xu You looked at him, as if seeing a savior.
“What’s the matter?”
Xu You hastily said, “I’m waiting for you. By the way, he seems to be looking for you, and he has been here for a long ti.”
As he spoke, Xu You pointed at Huhe Huangcheng.
Huhe Huangcheng was brazen enough not to feel embarrassed when Xu You pointed at him.
He was unruffled.
More than that, he innocently said, “I was worried that Mr. Xiu would feel bored here. I happened to feel bored, so I ca to chat with him. Did I disturb you?”
Huhe Huangcheng’s innocent face made people feel like they had done sothing bad.
Xu You rolled his eyes. Why didn’t he find him so shaless before?
As the saying goes, ‘A shaless man is invincible.’
Fang Shuoyang chuckled. “Brother Huhe, please forgive him for being childish.”
“Of course, of course.” Huhe Huangcheng said hurriedly, “Mr. Xiu is frank, and I admire him.”
Fang Shuoyang laughed. “Brother Huhe, don’t praise him anymore. He’s been a headache.”
When Huhe Huangcheng heard this, he laughed. For a while, they looked close and harmonious.
Xu You looked at the happy scene, a strange look coming across his face.
If he had not known that they were enemies, he would not think that way. What a joke! They looked so friendly to each other!
As he watched them, Xu You couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. People were too strange sotis.
So people clearly loved each other, but they didn’t express their love at all.
So people were clearly enemies, but they looked like best friends...
Why did he think the interpersonal relationship in ancient ti was much more complicated than that in modern ti?
He didn’t want to think too much, knocking his head. He simply stopped thinking about it.
At night, Xu You and Fang Shuoyang lay on their bed.
“Is there anyone here?” Xu You lowered his voice.
Fang Shuoyang shook his head. “They’re outside, so distance away. You can say whatever you like, but don’t be too loud.”
Xu You nodded quickly. “What’s going on between you and Huhe Huangcheng?”
Fang Shuoyang looked at Xu You helplessly. “What are you thinking?”
Xu You rolled his eyes. “I think you guys look too close.”
Fang Shuoyang was lost for words.
Xu You nudged him with his hand. “Don’t you? You seem to befriend him. Why? ”
“There’s no reason. It’s not ti to go nasty.”
Xu You looked at Fang Shuoyang and said softly, “Tell what is your plan. ”
Fang Shuoyang lowered his voice. “Just watch our plan. I’m waiting for news from Brother Shi.”
“But hasn’t he left?”
“He’ll be back in a couple of days. I’m trying to delay for a while. We’ll discuss it when Brother Shi cos back.”
“Can you delay it?” Xu You was a little worried.
Fang Shuoyang smiled. “Of course. Huhe Huangcheng is just the crown prince of Northern Barbarians instead of the crown prince of the Eastern Darkness. We are only partners, and I don’t have to listen to him. Besides, there is no news from Tianlong Dynasty for the ti being, so we just need to wait for a while. If we make the first move, then who will be responsible for the accident or failure? Huhe Huangcheng couldn’t assu the responsibility anyway. On our side, at least Zhou Suye and I don’t want to be held accountable, so we will wait until we have a firm plan.”
“I see...” Xu You blinked. “I really don’t understand.”
Fang Shuoyang smiled. “You don’t need to understand. Just be your own self. I will take care of these things.”
Xu You pouted. “Okay. I got it.”
Fang Shuoyang nodded, rubbing his head. “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”
“What about you?” Xu You hastily asked.
“Of course I sleep with you.” Xu You’s words amused Fang Shuoyang.
Xu You was relieved. He muttered and wrapped Fang Shuoyang’s neck, falling asleep.
When Long Xiaoyuan woke up the next day, Shi Qingzhou was gone.
Long Xiaoyuan was filled with a sense of loss.
He didn’t have the strong feeling until the person he loved was not with him.
Humans indeed had so deep-rooted bad habits.
Yawning, Long Xiaoyuan got up from the bed and washed his face with cold water.
After he went out of the room, he saw Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan coming over.
“Ouyang Chuan? Are you here too?” Long Xiaoyuan looked at Ouyang Chuan in bewildernt.
Ouyang Chuan nodded, “Yes, I co back and take a look.”
“How is the military camp?” Long Xiaoyuan asked.
“A few of them have been identified, who are now being watched.”
“Good. We’ve just co up with a new plan. I’ll tell you later. Have you both had breakfast?”
Liu Suifeng said, “Not yet.”
“Alright. Let’s have breakfast first. We’ll talk about the plan later.”
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan had no objections, so the three of them went for breakfast together.
After breakfast, Long Xiaoyuan told Ouyang Chuan about their new plan.
Ouyang Chuan nodded. “Okay, I’ll cooperate. But are you confident?”
“Of course. We won’t risk the lives of soldiers.” Long Xiaoyuan said seriously.
Ouyang Chuan felt relieved.
Ouyang Chuan stayed for a while and then left.
Long Xiaoyuan took Liu Suifeng out.
“Where are we going?” Liu Suifeng asked.
Long Xiaoyuan said softly, “Black Wind Forest.”
Liu Suifeng was confused. “What are we going to do there?”
“To lay a trap.” Long Xiaoyuan said.
Liu Suifeng was puzzled. “To lay a trap there? Why?”
“If it gets chaotic, it might be of so use. Anyway, we have nothing to do now. Let’s go there and take a look. Just in case.”
Liu Suifeng said helplessly, “I find that I don’t know what’s on your mind.”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “What? You don’t understand? ”
Liu Suifeng nodded honestly. “No, I don’t understand.”
Long Xiaoyuan laughed. “You don’t need to understand. Anyway, I’ll think care of it.”
Liu Suifeng pouted and said, “Okay. Let’s go.”
In addition to Liu Suifeng, Long Xiaoyuan brought several Shadow Guardians with him.
It didn’t take them long to arrive at Black Wind Forest.
However, after they arrived, Long Xiaoyuan was not in a hurry. “There are more than a hundred people in Black Wind Forest. Let’s go inside and say hello to them.”
Liu Suifeng said, “As you like.”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “They’re Wang Qi’s people. Now that Wang Qi is in the Eastern Darkness, his people should be concerned about him.”
Liu Suifeng nodded and followed Long Xiaoyuan inside.
In Black Wind Forest, Manager Fu greeted them.
Long Xiaoyuan exchanged a few simple words with him and asked, “Is there anything unusual here recently?”
The manager thought for a mont and said, “There is really sothing unusual. Soone ca to inquire about our boss.”
Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes glinted. “Really? How many people?” “According to my analysis, there were at least three batches of people.”
Long Xiaoyuan nodded calmly. “Okay, I got it. Watch out.”
The manager imdiately said, “I know. May I ask who those people are?”
Long Xiaoyuan glanced at the manager. “You just need to know that those people are your boss’s enemies.”
The manager turned grim. “Yes, I got it. I will definitely ask my people to keep the secret.”
