Chapter 274: Leaving Songye CityTranslator: Storm in a Teacup

Liu Suifeng and Zhang Yuan examined Zhou Huan’s blood together.

With Liu’s help, the blood in her body was found to have a magical effect on others.

When Long returned home from Song mansion, Shi was already awake.

But Shi didn’t say anything after knowing that Long had gone to Song mansion.

When Long came back, he just asked. “What did you say to Mr. Song?”

“I told him what Mr. Chen has done in detail and we won’t stay here for too long. I asked him to make full preparations.”

“Well…” Shi nodded. “You are right. We have already solved the crisis in Songye city. Although Mr. Chen hasn’t been arrested, we can’t just wait for him here. Furthermore, I think if we leave here, Mr. Chen will also leave.”

“I also think so.” Long nodded. “Mr. Chen must hate our guts now. We’ve crushed his conspiracy again and again. If we leave here in a high-profile manner, he is supposed to follow us.”

Shi looked at Long and said with a smile, “Didn’t Liu Suifeng say that any poison that’s produced by that evil object would be useless in front of his antidote? We only need to ask him to leave some antidote here and then leave the city with that evil object in broad daylight. In this way, Mr. Chen will have no choice but to come with us.”

“Right.” Long smiled and kissed Shi. “Qingzhou, you’re so smart.”

Shi pursed his lips slightly. “We can’t stay here forever.”

“Yes.” Long took a deep breath. “We can’t stay here forever.”

Shi looked into the distance through the wooden door. That was the direction of the imperial palace.

“We have been out for so long. It’s time to go back,” Shi said slowly.

“Yes.” Long held Shi’s hand. “Qingzhou, you’re right. We should go back.”

Shi looked at Long and suddenly said, “But… it’s a pity that your harem will change a lot when we go back.”

“Qingzhou,” Long said flatteringly, “My harem exists in name only. I already have you by my side. Isn’t that enough?”

“How’s the investigation of Lady Shan’s family going?” Shi suddenly asked.

Long said, “A few days ago, the Shadow Guardians reported that all those who were threatened have been dealt with and all those who participated in the actions have been killed. Her family is still there, but the foundation has been damaged. It needs more than ten years to restore vitality.”

Shi nodded. “The person who followed Lady Shan closely to contact her was also killed?”

“Yes, he’s been killed. He brought it on himself. We have no reason to keep him alive!”

Shi nodded slightly. “You are right. Anyway, we already know the man behind the scenes. Those pawns can be killed as long as we find them. No strategy is needed.”

“I also think so.” Long held Shi’s hand. “Qingzhou, we have been out for too long. We have to go back now.”

In the past, Long didn’t have a sense of belonging in this space-time.

He felt that the imperial palace was like a cage.

However, as time went on, he realized that he had subconsciously regarded it as his home!

Therefore, after being away for a long time, he found that he wanted to go back…

In the early morning of the third day, Long and the others left in a high profile.

There were three horse-drawn carriages.

One was for Long and Shi.

One was for transporting luggage.

And the other one was for the imperial doctors and Zhou Huan.

Before leaving, Liu left a lot of antidote to Song Qingtian, so they didn’t need to worry about Songye city.

In addition, that evil object was taken away by them and hidden in the carriage with luggage. The Shadow Guardians personally drove the carriage and strictly protected it.

Moreover, Liu deliberately let the object give off a little smell.

In this way, they could guarantee that Mr. Chen would know they had taken away his treasure.

Sure enough, somewhere in Songye city, Mr. Chen learned the news soon after Long left.

“Was my treasure also taken away?” Chen Mengxing was livid.

“Yes, Mr. Chen, we sensed that it is in their carriages.” His subordinate replied, trembling with fear.

Mr. Chen took a deep breath. “Gather all people here and we’ll set off.”

“Yes!”

Songye city was a good place, but Mr. Chen didn’t think so and he was eager to turn it into a hell.

However, since his poison was no longer useful here, he could also choose to give up.

The point was nothing was more important than his treasure!

When night fell, Long and the others slept in the wild.

This day, they didn’t travel a very long distance, but they were already far from Songye city.

Except for a short break at noon, they were on their way all the time.

They hadn’t planned to hurry up and enter the town, so they slept outdoors at night.

Long, Shi, Liu and Ouyang sat by the bonfire to roast meat.

Not like an emperor at all, Long was roasting meat in person.

The Shadow Guardians had been used to it, but the imperials doctors hadn’t seen that before, so they were very surprised and even panicky!

As the only woman here, Madam Zhou didn’t get off the carriage.

Long asked the Shadow Guardians to bring her some food.

The imperial doctors were on the other side and didn’t join them.

The deer leg that Long roasted gave off a pleasant smell. The first thing Long did after it was done was naturally to let Shi have a taste.Read latest chapters at Listnovel.com

Long was good at it and there was enough seasoning, so the deer leg was delicious.

Since it tasted great, Shi ate a lot.

Long was very happy to see Shi eat so much.

On the other side, Liu was also roasting meat for Ouyang.

However, perhaps it was because of the psychological effect, Ouyang felt… the meat roasted by Liu wasn’t as delicious as that made by Long, even if they used the same seasoning!

Liu felt wronged. “Isn’t this delicious, Brother Ouyang?”

Ouyang curled his lips and put on a false smile. “Is it delicious? Why don’t I think so?”

Liu said, “It’s the same… It’s all roasted like this.”

Ouyang said firmly, “You’re less skilled. He’s really better than you.”

Liu’s face darkened.

Long took Shi’s hand and went for a walk.

Of course, Long knew that this evening was destined to not be peaceful, so he didn’t dare to go too far with Shi.

They just walked around the place.

However, they didn’t expect that the silence would be broken before late night!

As the horse neighed, some assassins landed on the carriage with luggage from the sky!

The Shadow Guardians had made preparations. In fact, two of them were hidden in that carriage.

That evil object was indeed in there, but there were many people guarding it!

The Shadow Guardians reacted immediately. The horse neighed, but it didn’t run! Even if it had been shot with a dart!

In fact, the horse’s harness was disjointed from the carriage behind it.

In this case, even if the horse ran away, the carriage would still stay there.

After the horse was shot, the Shadow Guardians ended its life.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to control it if the horse went crazy because of the dart in its body.

There were not so many assassins, only five.

It seemed that they wanted to launch a surprise attack, but obviously, after they were surrounded by the Shadow Guardians, their raid was doomed to failure!

However, the weapons of those assassins were not that simple.

As long as a Shadow Guardian was injured, the skin around the wound would immediately be corroded!

The Shadow Guardians had received a lot of extreme training, but two of them still couldn’t help groaning and screaming.

In the end, the five assassins were all arrested, but six Shadow Guardians were injured.

Two of them were wounded in the arm, three in the shoulder, and one in the back.

Especially the man who was wounded in the back, his face had turned blue and black!

Long was startled and turned to look at Liu. “Were they poisoned?”

At this time, Liu was already feeling the pulse of the first man.

After a while, Liu pursed his lips and said, “It is also a special corrosive toxin extracted from that evil object. Anyone who is hurt by the weapon with the toxin on it will be severely injured. If the key part of one’s body is hurt, he’ll die soon. These men were lucky that none of them was wounded in such a spot. Otherwise, they would have been dead now.”

While speaking, Liu took out something to treat them.

Liu carried various antidotes with him, and a large amount of medicinal materials were stored in the carriage.

He first fed the antidote to the injured Shadow Guardians, and then dealt with their wounds.

The corroded skin around the wounds needed to be scraped off with a sharp tool.

No ordinary people could endure such pain, but these Shadow Guardians were strong-willed. Although Liu’s method looked cruel, they gritted their teeth and didn’t groan.

There were just five assassins, but six Shadow Guardians were injured.

These five assassins… were indeed powerful!
