380. To Make Another Drug
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Long Xiaoyuan had a long sleep. When he woke up, it was dark.
He jumped up from the bed like a fish.
“Why did I sleep so long?” Mumbling, Long Xiaoyuan thought of another question. Had he skipped another meal? No wonder he felt hungry!
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and called a Shadow Guardian, ordering for some water to wash his face.
The Shadow Guardian quickly left.
A short time afterwards, someone knocked on the door and Long Xiaoyuan said, “Come in.”
A servant came in with a basin of water, not the Shadow Guardian. However, Long Xiaoyuan did not suspect him and said directly, “Put it there.”
Long Xiaoyuan thought that something held the Shadow Guardian up on the way to fetch the water, so he asked the servant to bring it over.
Unexpectedly, after Long Xiaoyuan spoke, the servant flung the basin at Long Xiaoyuan!
It happened too fast. Although Long Xiaoyuan managed to dodge the basin, he failed to dodge the water… He was wet all over like a drowned rat.
The servant attacked him after he flung the basin.
Long Xiaoyuan would not stand there and get hit, so he fought back when the servant sprang on him.
This servant was strong for he had been working all year round.
Long Xiaoyuan had some internal power, and the original host of his body was a martial arts practitioner. Although the host had changed, it was easy to deal with a strong man without any martial arts!
Therefore, after a few rounds, Long Xiaoyuan kicked the servant out of the door.
At this moment, the other Shadow Guardians reacted and some of them immediately captured the servant.
Long Xiaoyuan walked out of the room. If this man was an assassin, then he was a lousy one!
“Make a thorough investigation on what’s going on.”
“Yes!” The Shadow Guardians hurriedly escorted the man away in cold sweat.
Long Xiaoyuan frowned slightly. At this moment, the Shadow Guardian who had gone to fetch the water came back.
Long Xiaoyuan looked at him. “Did you ask the servant to come?”
Knowing that an assassin had attacked Long Xiaoyuan, the Shadow Guardian hastily knelt down and said, “No, I didn’t. I deserve to die.”
“Get up.” Long Xiaoyuan didn’t bother to punish him this time, only saying, “Go and bring some food.”
Nodding, the Shadow Guardian hurriedly left after putting down the basin of water.
After dinner, Long Xiaoyuan was briefed on the assassination.
The servant turned out to be an informant that Qin Yuechun’s wife had arranged in the mansion, who was loyal and devoted to her.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Qin Yuechun locked up his wife because of a home wrecker in the backyard. The servant was indignant that the Madam was treated this way.
Therefore he came in the name of bringing the water, intending to beat up the home wrecker and even to disfigure her.
He didn’t expect that it would be that easy, but the luck was on his side.
Long Xiaoyuan got up and asked for water. A Shadow Guardian went to fetch it, and the other Shadow Guardians thought he went away on other errands, so they did not pay attention to the servant.
Most importantly, this was indeed a servant!
A servant without any martial arts. Naturally, the Shadow Guardian did not take him as an assassin.
The meals were delivered by such servants usually.
Therefore, the ‘assassin’ made it to the room by luck.
When the assassin found that the home wrecker turned out to be a man, he was raged!
This was how the attack took place.
After hearing this, Long Xiaoyuan felt deeply that this was an accident without any courses!
Frustrated, he said, “Don’t let in any strangers in the backyard from now on. If there are any chores, do it yourselves.”
“Yes!” The Shadow Guardians took the order. This time, the Emperor showed exceptional mercy to them for their negligence!
After dinner, Long Xiaoyuan rubbed his stomach, deciding to go out for a walk.
Life was dull when Qingzhou was not with him. He even felt bored with the stroll after dinner.
Thinking for a while, Long Xiaoyuan decided to go to Ouyang Chuan and Liu Suifeng.
He inquired about them with a Shadow Guardian, who said they were sleeping in the room and hadn’t woken up yet. Long Xiaoyuan had to drop his idea…
The two of them had been busy for a long time, and they didn’t get sufficient sleep in the past two days.
He should not disturb them, especially Liu Suifeng.
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan changed his direction and walked out of the mansion.
The news was spreading outside the mansion about the imminent war between the Eastern Darkness and Tianlong Dynasty.
However, the people at the border were not afraid. They seemed to have blind confidence in Qin Yuechun!
Long Xiaoyuan was delighted to see that.
He took a stroll on the street and bought two novelties.
Long Xiaoyuan planned to give them to Qingzhou as a gift when he arrived.
He did not stay on the street long. After all, it was a critical moment, and he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Long Xiaoyuan went back after doing some shopping.
When he got back to the mansion, a Shadow Guardian immediately came over to inform him that Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan had woken up.
Long Xiaoyuan handed the shopping to the servants, ordering them to put it away in his room. After that, he walked leisurely to Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan.
When he got there, they were having dinner.
Long Xiaoyuan walked over, “Well, enjoy your dinner.”
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan looked up at the same time, “Did you have dinner?”
“Yeah, I woke up earlier than you guys, so I had an early dinner.”
Liu Suifeng asked, “Where have you been?” He didn’t stop what he was doing.
Ouyang Chuan was wolfing down the dishes as well. Long Xiaoyuan sat down at the dining table and looked at them with disgust. “You look starving. Where are your manners? ”
Liu Suifeng glared at him.
“You are lucky. All you need to do is to stay idle at home. We are busy with so many things in hand, so we get tired naturally. What is wrong if we eat more? ”
“Okay.” Long Xiaoyuan shrugged when he saw that Liu Suifeng was about to explode. “Go ahead. Enjoy your dinner.”
Liu Suifeng let out a cold snort and resumed his dinner.
Long Xiaoyuan watched them, bored.
After a moment, the two of them finished eating, and Long Xiaoyuan asked, “Any update on the antidote?”
“It’s almost completed. We experimented on a few people and some animals before we went to sleep. Let’s wait and see the results.”
Long Xiaoyuan was relieved. “Good. When will we see the results? ”
Liu Suifeng thought for a moment and said, “It shouldn’t take long. By the way, where are Shi Qingzhou and the others?”
“They will arrive in less than five days.”
Liu Suifeng calculated the time and said, “The antidote should be ready by then. However, we need to make deployment in advance. ”
“I understand,” Long Xiaoyuan nodded and said, “Qin Yuechun is on it. But after all, there are many people involved, and it is impossible to guard against enemy in the dark. ”
Liu Suifeng looked at Ouyang Chuan and asked, “Do you have any good idea?”
Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. “No. It is not something we can do openly. We can only take secret precautions. I don’t have any good idea.”
Liu Suifeng thought for a while and said, “You can ask Ouyang to stay in the camp so he can help.”
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Ouyang Chuan. “What do you think?”
Ouyang Chuan nodded. “I can do that.”
Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Does that mean the two of you have to be separated again?”
Liu Suifeng looked at him. “Can’t you stop gloating?”
Long Xiaoyuan said innocently, “I’m not. I’m just worried about you. You’ve got me wrong.”
Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes. “I’ve got you wrong? What a joke!”
Ouyang Chuan echoed, “You are always annoying!”
Liu Suifeng couldn’t agree more. “Absolutely.”
Long Xiaoyuan said with feigned innocence. “I’m not! I meant well, and you got me wrong. I’ve always been a kind person.”
Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan got disgusted, rising from their seats to leave.
“Hey, where are you going?” Long Xiaoyuan shouted from behind, but neither of them looked back at him!
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. “This is your room. Are you leaving the room to me? I’m flattered.”
Although they had left, they heard him as they had high martial arts.
However, they ignored him.
“Where are you going?” Ouyang Chuan asked Liu Suifeng.
Liu Suifeng smiled. “Walk you to the military camp. And you can also take a look…to see if there is anyone suspicious who has escaped Qin Yuechun’s eyes.”
Ouyang Chuan nodded. “Okay, I’ll pay attention to that.”
Liu Suifeng thought for a while and said. “I’ll give you some powder. Watch out and sprinkle the powder to the person that you suspect. It’ll help us identify that person if the camp is in a chaos.”
Ouyang Chuan nodded. “Okay.”
Liu Suifeng gave some other instructions, and Ouyang Chuan took all of them.
After that, Liu Suifeng walked him to the military camp.
Ouyang Chuan settled down there secretly.
Liu Suifeng came back… to start making another drug, which was the poison that Long Xiaoyuan required!
