Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 376 - He Was Really Different

376. He Was Really Different

Long Xiaoyuan slept until the next morning.

Perhaps it was really because of the Golden King Insect, his fever was gone although he felt weak.

These days he took too little rest.

That’s why he fell ill all of a sudden.

He pursed his lips. Although he really wanted to have more rest, they have to come up with the antidote before Fang Shuoyang and the others arrived. He couldn’t rest at this time and delay the process for the thousands of soldiers.

Therefore, after he took medicine in the morning, Long Xiaoyuan ordered the Shadow Guardian to continue the journey with him.

Although the Shadow Guardian was worried about Long Xiaoyuan’s health, he did not dare to disobey his orders.

In the end, the Shadow Guardian followed Long Xiaoyuan and they set off.

Three days later, before Long Xiaoyuan died of exhaustion, he finally reached the border of the Eastern Darkness and sneaked out in the middle of the night with the help of the Shadow Guardian…

When Long Xiaoyuan showed up in Tianlong Dynasty’s territory again and met Liu Suifeng, he managed to utter these words.

“I’m right here. If you need my blood or any cooperation for the research, go ahead. Don’t wake me up.”

After he spoke, he pa.s.sed out.

Liu Suifeng was startled, and he went to feel Long Xiaoyuan’s pulse. After confirming that he was exhausted, Liu Suifeng let out a sigh of relief.

The Shadow Guardian left Long Xiaoyuan to Liu Suifeng and went away.

Ouyang Chuan came over. “Is he all right?”

Liu Suifeng shook his head. “He’s fine. It’s just exhaustion.”

Ouyang Chuan paused for a short while before he said, “Is it because of the hurried journey?”

“I guess so, “Liu Suifeng said, “We’ve made some progress on the antidote, and I’m getting some of his blood. Take care of him.”

Ouyang Chuan nodded. “Don’t worry.”

Without delay, Liu Suifeng took some of Long Xiaoyuan’s blood and left.

Ouyang Chuan pouted. He glanced at Long Xiaoyuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

“How could you make yourself like this? Tut-tut. It’s really a shame. It was just a hurried journey, and you have Golden King Insect! You are useless! Tut-tut!” Although Ouyang Chuan ridiculed Long Xiaoyuan, he tucked a blanket around him.

Long Xiaoyuan slept for a whole day and night, and he was awoken by hunger.

There was no one in the room.

However, he was in a room, so this shouldn’t be the military camp.

When he got up from the bed, the Shadow Guardian came in.

“Master.”

“Where am I?”

“General Qin’s mansion.” The Shadow Guardian answered.

Long Xiaoyuan blinked and remembered that Qin Yuechun also had a residence here.

Although it was not on the military camp, it was not far away. He should have been brought over afterwards.

Long Xiaoyuan touched his stomach and said directly, “Send me some food first.”

“Yes.” Shadow Guardian replied and left.

The Shadow Guardian was very efficient. Very soon, the meal was delivered.

Long Xiaoyuan was hungry, so he devoured the breakfast as quickly as possible.

When he was through, Ouyang Chuan came to him.

“Oh, you’re finally awake. I thought you were going to sleep for a month!”

“Sleep for a month?” Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “Are you talking about yourself? Only someone like you would like to become a pig, right?”

Ouyang Chuan sneered when he heard him. “Aren’t you the one who wants to become a pig?”

“Wrong. You’re talking about yourself, “Long Xiaoyuan chuckled, “By the way, Ouyang Chuan, how is your partner?”

“He’s busy.” Ouyang Chuan snorted coldly.

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. “Ouyang Chuan, do you think Liu Suifeng is stupid?”

“You’re stupid!” Ouyang Chuan immediately said.

Long Xiaoyuan shrugged, “Do you mean he is not stupid?”

“Of course!” “Ouyang Chuan glared at Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan seemed to see Xiu You in Ouyang Chuan. He was much older than Xiu You, so how could he behave like a child?

Just like Xiu You, Ouyang Chuan liked to stare at him…

“If he’s not stupid, then it shouldn’t be a problem for him to invent an antidote, right?”

Ouyang Chuan blinked and fell silent.

Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you say he wasn’t stupid?”

Ouyang Chuan glared at him. “Does this have something to do with stupidity?”

“Of course!” Long Xiaoyuan said solemnly. “If you’re not stupid, you’ll definitely invent it. Of course, you have to be a physician first.”

Ouyang Chuan was just about to say, “You’re not stupid. Why don’t you do it?”

However, he was choked.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and asked, “By the way, how have you been lately?”

“If it weren’t for the trouble that you’ve brought us, we would be fine!” Ouyang Chuan gritted his teeth.

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. “I also want to be free of troubles and have a quiet life. But unfortunately, I can’t.”

Ouyang Chuan glared at him. “I haven’t had breakfast yet.”

“Go ahead.” Long Xiaoyuan looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. “Why do you tell me? Do you want me to fix it for you? You are asking for the moon. Ouyang Chuan, you can’t continue like that. Why do I think you’ve become stupid after not seeing you for a while?” Ouyang Chuan was so exasperated that he wished to kill him!

Finally, Ouyang Chuan stomped away in anger. He even forgot to tell Long Xiaoyuan that Qin Yuechun wished to see him, which was the purpose he came with.

Long Xiaoyuan stretched lazily and walked out leisurely.

He didn’t take Ouyang Chuan seriously, who left in anger. Qin Yuechun went to Ouyang Chuan.

“OuYang, what did he say?”

Ouyang Chuan was lost for words. Could he say that he forgot about this?

Qin Yuechun carefully studied Ouyang Chuan’s expression. Noticing that he looked grumpy, he instantly asked, “Did he refuse to see me?”

Ouyang Chuan coughed and said, “No.”

‘No? Then why do you look so grumpy? ‘

“Is he in a bad mood?” If that was the case, he would have to be careful if he asked to see him.

No ministers would like to disturb the Emperor in a bad mood.

Even though Long Xiaoyuan was the Emperor, it was the same!

“No.” Ouyang Chuan said stiffly. “He’s in a good mood. You can go directly.”

After he spoke, Ouyang Chuan left.

Anyway, he thought that Long Xiaoyuan would definitely meet Qin Yuechun, so it was fine that he said nothing.

Watching Ouyang Chuan walk away, Qin Yuechun naturally noticed his bad mood.

But why?

Qin Yuechun was puzzled.

However, Qin Yuechun didn’t bother to figure it out, for this shouldn’t have much to do with him anyway.

Therefore, Qin Yuechun went straight to look for Long Xiaoyuan without thinking too much.

In the yard, Qin Yuechun b.u.mped into Long Xiaoyuan who was taking a stroll. Qin Yuechun started to bow, but Long Xiaoyuan stopped him and held his hand.

“Well, we are outside the palace. General Qin, do you want to expose my ident.i.ty?”

Qin Yuechun was instantly frightened. “I deserve to die.”

Long Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes. “Let’s go in and talk.”

After they entered the room, Long Xiaoyuan sat down on the chair and looked at Qin Yuechun. “General Qin, what have you come here for?”

Qin Yuechun was stunned when he heard him. “Your Majesty… I have something to tell you, so I asked Mr. Ouyang to make the request to see you…”

“Oh, I didn’t know about this.” Long Xiaoyuan said immediately.

Qin Yuechun quickly knelt down. “I’m being reckless.”

“Enough. Get up. General Qin, I do not blame you. Tell me, what’s the matter?”

“It’s about some deployment at the border, and…”

Qin Yuechun told him a lot of things. Basically, they were about the defense of the border against the Eastern Darkness army and some precautions against poison if it came up.

Long Xiaoyuan listened quietly without interrupting him.

After Qin Yuechun finished reporting, Long Xiaoyuan said, “General Qin, you are very thoughtful. Continue what you are doing for the time being. However, the spies from Northern Barbarians are hidden in our military camp, to which you have to pay attention. If you detect any spies, don’t take any moves for the time being. Wait for the right time and catch them all in one go.”

“I understand.”

After that, they chatted for a while. After Long Xiaoyuan had figured out the situation at the border, he asked Qin Yuechun to leave.

Long Xiaoyuan addressed the real issues, which made Qin Yuechun take a different opinion of him. Qin Yuechun felt that the Emperor was really different from before.

But of course this was a good thing, wasn’t it?

Qin Yuechun left. Although the antidote had not been invented yet, his mood was lifted.

Long Xiaoyuan contemplated quietly after Qin Yuechun left.

He was thinking of the next step.

He was thinking of…s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

He did not know how his Qingzhou was now…

Emperor Zhou’s birthday had pa.s.sed, so they should set off for the border now, right? He wondered if Xiu You came as well… How was everything?
