Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 388 - Falling for the Trap (II)

388. Falling for the Trap (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long Xiaoyuan quickly asked, “What are you doing?”

Liu Suifeng said slowly, “To shoot Huhe Huangcheng. I have to see how powerful that man is. By the way, Huhe Huangcheng can’t die here, right?”

“Of course you can’t kill him here,” Long Xiaoyuan imdiately said, “He can’t die, but it’s fine if he is half-dead. But he can’t die, at least not now.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “I got it.”

Liu Suifeng continued to pull the bow.

Long Xiaoyuan watched him pull the bow and get ready to shoot, and then he saw Huhe Huangcheng and the man with excellent martial arts approaching.

The man with extrely high martial arts seed to be very alert. Long Xiaoyuan saw he stop outside the range and seem to have sensed sothing.

At this mont, Huhe Huangcheng asked, “What’s wrong?”

The man shook his head slightly. “I don’t know, but I feel an inexplicable threat. Your Highness, we’d better not go forward.”

Huhe Huangcheng narrowed his eyes. “Is there a trap ahead?”

“Yes, but it’s hard to find out where it is.” the man said, deep in thought when he looked at the dense forest in front of him.

Huhe Huangcheng looked ahead. His martial arts were a little better than Long Xiaoyuan, and inferior to Fang Shuoyang’s, so he couldn’t possibly see anything.

However, Huhe Huangcheng was much more scheming than the man.

At this mont, he did more calculation.

Huhe Huangcheng thought for a mont and said, “In that case, let’s wait here for a while.”

They had intended to go in the front. In fact, the n sent by Fang Shuoyang and Zhou Suye were still at the back.

Huhe Huangcheng attempted to go through the forest first. With the help of the man, he intended to get to the land of Tianlong Dynasty first. However, Emperor Zhou was not dead, so it was not important for him to go to Tianlong Dynasty first.

Therefore, if the man sensed there was danger ahead, Huhe Huangcheng preferred to wait for a while.

He thought about all of this in an instant, and he made the order to wait where they were.

Huhe Huangcheng did not wait long before the n sent by Zhou Suye and Fang Shuoyang arrived.

Fang Shuoyang sent Ying Feng and two other guards, who were not the Shadow Guardians that he brought from Tianlong Dynasty, but the local citizens of the Eastern Darkness recruited by him.

Zhou Suye sent three people as well, all of whom were masters in martial arts that he trusted deeply.

Although they encountered quite so obstacles in Black Wind Forest, these people made it to this place. Although they looked a bit ruffled, the most seriously injured man had a wounded arm, and the rest were intact.

Seeing that all the people had arrived, Long Xiaoyuan whispered, “What if they don’t co over?”

Liu Suifeng smiled. “How is that possible? Unless they give up on this path.”

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and nodded. “That’s right, they’re already here and they can’t give up. Besides, they have t the old forces of Black Wind Forest, and they shouldn’t have suspected Tianlong Dynasty yet. They won’t give up so easily.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “No, they won’t give up. But I expect that man will ask the others to test the water.”

“Let’s see who will co. If Zhou Suye’s n co, kill them.”

Apart from the two of them, there was actually a trap, so Long Xiaoyuan said such things.

Liu Suifeng looked at him. “What if Fang Shuoyang’s n co?”

“Then let them go.”

“Aren’t you afraid that they would see through our trick?”

“It doesn’t matter. We let the people in the front go through, which can be said to draw the enemy to the ambush.”

Liu Suifeng paused and said, “What if they co together?”

“Don’t worry about them. When Huhe Huangcheng cos over, shoot him with an arrow. Leave the rest alone. You can shoot him when they get closer.”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “Okay. I’ll do that.”

After they made the decision, Liu Suifeng and Long Xiaoyuan waited quietly.

On the other side, Zhou Suye’s n asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you stop?”

Huhe Huangcheng said, “To wait for you.”

The n nodded and imdiately said, “Alright. Let’s go.”

Ying Feng said, “Wait,” looking at the man with Huhe Huangcheng.

“Mister, you stop because you sense sothing, right?”

“What?” Zhou Suye’s n were shocked. Compared to Ying Feng, their martial arts were inferior. Besides, they didn’t doubt Huhe Huangcheng’s words, so they didn’t know what was going on.

The man looked at Ying Feng and said calmly, “I can’t sense anything. I just have a vague feeling.”

“I see.” Ying Feng nodded. “In this case, we should be careful. I feel that Black Wind Forest is a bit strange.”

Zhou Suye’s n looked at Ying Feng. “Mister, what’s your suggestion?”

The implication was that they took Ying Feng as the leader.

Before they set off, their Master gave them instructions.

If Huhe Huangcheng ca along, they could listen to him when it was appropriate, but if they found anything wrong, they should take Ying Feng as the leader.

Zhou Suye made this decision because he thought that Emperor Zhou valued Fang Shuoyang highly now.

Therefore, he would not make any mistakes for the ti being if he followed Fang Shuoyang.

Even if there was sothing wrong, the two of them would be held accountable together.

Now, Emperor Zhou had only two adult princes left, and the heir to the throne would be chosen from them.

Therefore, before Emperor Zhou made the decision, Suye thought he would be fine taking the side of Fang Shuoyang.

That was why Zhou Suye would give such instructions to his n this ti.

Ying Feng naturally understood what they ant.

Huhe Huangcheng narrowed his eyes without saying anything.

This operation was said to be cooperation before the departure.

Naturally, Huhe Huangcheng couldn’t command the n of the two princes of the Eastern Darkness.

However, this did not an that he wanted the n of the two princes to work together, because this was not a good thing for him!

But now he couldn’t intervene.

The man with Huhe Huangcheng looked irritated and was about to say sothing, but Huhe Huangcheng gave him a look, beckoning him to shut up, so he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

Ying Feng said, “We have to move forward. We can’t go back at this ti, and we are not sure if there are traps on the way back. Therefore, we can only move forward, but we can do it separately.”

Zhou Suye’s n did not have any objections to this, saying, “Okay. We will be divided into batches. We think this plan is feasible.”

When Ying Feng heard this, he nodded and said, “Well, let’s do this. For the sake of fairness, let’s move together. Each side send a person to explore the way first. What do you say?”

Zhou Suye’s n naturally agreed.

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

They looked at the man with Huhe Huangcheng.

The man didn’t say anything, waiting for Huhe Huangcheng’s order.

Huhe Huangcheng paused for a while before he said, “You have to go first. My man and I will go later.”
