Chapter 322. Discussion (II)Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Wang Qi kept silent for a longer while.

After a long time, Wang Qi took a deep breath and said, “Fine, I’ll give you all the resources I have. But some of them are not in touch with me for ages. I don’t know what they think now.”

“Take it easy.” Long said with a smile, “I’ll check on everyone. It’s a big deal and we can’t take the risk.”

“Okay, and I will sort a list for you when I get back.” Wang Qi said, nodding.

Wang Qi went out. Long breathed a long sigh of relief.

Two days later, in the mansion of Senior General Wu, Imperial City.

“My lord, don’t stay up too late and go to bed early. You had a cold yesterday.”

“Fine, I know.” Senior General Wu said with a wave of his hand, “You go back to the room first.”

“Alright then, I will go back.”

“Okay.” Senior General Wu said.

The woman went out and closed the door.

Suddenly, Senior General Wu felt a chill down his spine when he buried himself in the official documents.

Being used to galloping on war fields, he realized immediately that an assassin came to his mansion,

who was right behind him.

“What do you want, my friend?” Instead of screaming, Senior General Wu said with a heavy sound.

“You are with courage and wisdom.” Suddenly, there came a chuckle from the door.

He looked quickly towards the door, with his eyes flickering slightly.

There was a young man, urbane and charming.

But totally unfamiliar.

The man in front of him was Long Xiaoyuan with his face transplanted.

“Who are you?” Senior General Wu looked at Long surprisedly. He then looked to the door and there should be people outside his study.

That strange man actually came in fairly.

“Excuse me for meeting you in this way and I am going to tell you who I am.” Long said with a smile.

“Who the hell are you? What do you want?” Senior General Wu asked again.

“Do you remember a man named Wang Qi, whose prior name, is Wen Zhongyuan, Senior General Wu?” Long stared at him and asked slowly.

“Zhongyuan?” Hearing that, Senior General Wu was frightened.

“Yes, Wen Zhongyuan. But I am here today for another big thing, not for him.”

“What big thing?” Senior General Wu squinted and asked.

Long moved towards him with a smile.

“I don’t think the Emperor is as pleased with you as other people think.”

“What do you mean, my friend?” Senior General Wu’s said with the facial expression alternation.

“You know what I mean.” Long stared at him and said slightly,

“the Emperor doesn’t treat you as well as it seems. Plus, I’m afraid that the Third Prince also have some problems with you.”

“Does it concern you?” Senior General Wu’s face darkened.

“Of course it concerns me. Because I can offer you a better choice,” Long said with a smile.

“Oh? You?” Senior General Wu narrowed his eyes and asked, “What choice can you give me?”

“A brand-new prince, who is friendly with you.”

“Who?” Senior General Wu’s eyes fluttered.

“You are a wise man and you know who I am talking about.”

“It’s Fang Shuoyang. You’re his man.” Senior General Wu looked at Long, thinking.

“Yes.” Long smiled and admitted directly.

“But I thought he didn’t want to go back to the imperial household.”

“No, he didn’t. But he had no choice because of his identity.” Long laughed and said.

Senior General Wu said nothing.

“He doesn’t want to be involved but he has already been involved in this. He has to fight for life. Accede to the throne or die.” Long continued.

“So what if he comes back? He grew up outside the royal household and had no resources. Do you think he can make it?” Senior General Wu said coldly.

“The resources are there as long as we work for it. And he will make it if you can help him a little when he wins.”

“What do you mean?” Senior General Wu asked with his expression changing.

“The literal meaning. You must think I came for a favor. But actually, I just want you to assist him after he wins. I mean after the whole thing is done.” Long laughed.

Senior General Wu’s facial expression altered and became enigmatic.

“Are you willing to do it?” Long asked.

Senior General Wu said nothing.

“Wait, where is Zhongyuan?” Senior General Wu asked when Long excused himself and was going to leave after a while.

“He is striving with me. You must understand that he hates the Emperor very much and he would like to avenge if there is a chance.” Long turned to him and said.

Senior General Wu took a deep breath but said nothing.

“Farewell, Senior General Wu.” Long smiled and then left.

After leaving the mansion together, Long and Ouyang Chuan walked on the street.

“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll let you out?” Ouyang Chuan asked in a low voice.

“He is clever enough not to do it.” Long said with a meaningful smile.

“Why are you so confident?” Ouyang Chuan asked, lifting his eyebrow.

“The reason why I am superior than you is that you never understand.” Long laughed and turned to him.

Ouyang Chuan tried to smile but failed, looking at him speechlessly.

“Come on. Let’s go back.” Long grinned.

Ouyang Chuan curled his lips and took Long back with Qing Kung.

So no one would find out.

When they got home, Long took a quick shower and hit the hay.

He had been busy making deals and plans for two days, and conduct negotiation at night. It’s hard not to be tired. Especially that he was in poor physical condition.

He was exhausted.

Long fell asleep fast. He was so tired that he didn’t have time to miss Shi Qingzhou.

Ouyang Chuan twitched his mouth, rolled his eyes at him, and then also fell asleep.

But at that time, Shi was facing a rebellion on a small scale.

It was launched by the revolting general who wanted to kill and replace Qin Yuechun.
