Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Lock up those who are swayed. Kill them if they don’t change. In short, keep things in order here. You can’t allow them to leave and disturb your bosses. Understand?”

A trace of coldness flashed across the manager’s face. “Don’t worry. I know.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Of course I trust you. Otherwise, Wang Qi wouldn’t have left the valley to you.”

“I’m flattered.”

After the small talk, the manager led Long Xiaoyuan into Black Wind Forest. Long Xiaoyuan made clear what he had come for.

The manager immediately said, “It isn’t difficult. Not only can we lay the trap inside, but also the whole forest. It is so big that there are many places where you can choose to lay the trap.”

The manager mentioned a few places with difficult access where they could lay the trap. If they could lure the enemy in the trap and trigger the device, they could capture most of the enemy!

Even a martial arts master could not escape from the trap!

The manager was very confident!

Long Xiaoyuan was more satisfied after hearing this. He hurriedly said, “Great. It’s only a concept, and I’m not familiar with this place. I’ll count on you.”

“I’m flattered. This is what I should do.”

Long Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with the trip to Black Wind Forest. After he saw the manager arrange his people to lay a trap, Long Xiaoyuan left with Liu Suifeng.

After returning to the general’s mansion, Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng went to have dinner.

While they were having dinner, Qin Yuechun came, saying that he had an idea.

Long Xiaoyuan blinked. Did he forget to inform the general?

Indeed!

Qin Yuechun noticed that Liu Suifeng looked at him sympathetically.

“Doctor Liu?”

Liu Suifeng smiled, pretending to know nothing.

Long Xiaoyuan said, “Your idea is good, but I have a better one. I’ll tell you later as I’m having dinner now!”

Therefore, Qin Yuechun could only wait.

It was not that Long Xiaoyuan was mean and he didn’t invited Qin Yuechun to eat together.

Qin Yuechun didn’t dare to do that!

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan had to eat with Liu Suifeng.

Finally, the dinner was over and Qin Yuechun was relieved. Long Xiaoyuan finally said, “General Qin, I have another actions plan that needs your cooperation.”

A complicated look came across Qin Yuechun’s face after Long Xiaoyuan told him about the plan.

The plan was definitely a good one, but Qin Yuechun couldn’t possibly think of such a plan for he was a straightforward man.

In the end, his footsteps seemed to be heavy when he left.

This guarding general at the border of the Eastern Darkness couldn’t help but wonder if he was too stupid.

In the end, he failed to figure out the answer.

Liu Suifeng watched Qin Yuechun leave, saying, “Why does he seem to have suffered a huge blow?”

Long Xiaoyuan looked at him. “Does he?”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “Yes.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Oh, then he does.”

Liu Suifeng fell silent.

Shi Qingzhou arrived late at night the next day, and he deliberately went round to the back of the Eastern Darkness. After the detour, he appeared at the back. No one would suspect that he had gone to Tianlong Dynasty even if he was discovered!

Shi Qingzhou went to see Fang Shuoyang once he came back.

The two of them secretly chatted for half an hour.

Zhou Suye, who had been keeping an eye on Fang Shuoyang, knew that someone had left and returned, but he didn’t know who was that, nor did he know why Fang Shuoyang sent him out!

After Shi Qingzhou left, he returned to his post.

At this moment, Ying Feng was in another post.

Ying Feng did not come with them in the beginning. He came over after handling some matter in the Imperial City of the Eastern Darkness.

He had just arrived on this day.

The arrival of Ying Feng made Shi Qingzhou feel more confident about the plan.

Therefore, this night Shi Qingzhou told Ying Feng what he should pay attention to, and what to do if he and Huhe Huangcheng went out on the same mission…

The next day, Fang Shuoyang and their generals, including Huhe Huangcheng, finally came to a conclusion about the poisoning plan.

However, Huhe Huangcheng had to hand over the formula for the antidote before they took the action.

He had to give in since he was not in charge. Besides, they’d decided to make the move.

After Tianxiang Zi failed the assassination, Huhe Huangcheng knew that it was impossible to undermine the reign of the Eastern Darkness, so he did not hesitate to hand over the formula of the antidote.

However, there were two ingredients in the formula that were difficult to find even in the Eastern Darkness. Besides, it was difficult to mass produce the antidote.

Although its effect was the same as the antidote developed by Liu Suifeng, the ingredients were different.

Long Xiaoyuan had taken advantage of the Golden King Insect!

If it were not for the Golden King Insect, Long Xiaoyuan’s blood, and a doctor like Liu Suifeng, it would be impossible for them to come up with the antidote and mass produce it so quickly.

Luck played an important part in the war!

On this day, Fang Shuoyang and the others finally made a move.

Basking in the sun leisurely in the mansion, Long Xiaoyuan estimated that the Eastern Darkness should take actions.

Sure enough, a Shadow Guardian came over to report that the army of the Eastern Darkness started moving early in the morning.

It seemed that a war was inevitable.

However, everyone knew they were testing the water.

Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin. “It looks like they are going to give cover. Where is Liu Suifeng?”

“In his room.”

“Go and see what he is doing. If he has time, ask him to come to me.”

“Yes.” The Shadow Guardian took the order and immediately left.

If the two countries were to fight, Black Wind Forest was in the middle of the two parties, but it wasn’t in the middle of a straight line. On the contrary, if they sneaked into Black Wind Forest and took a path there, they didn’t even have to pass through the city gate to arrive at the border of Tianlong Dynasty. There was a river there.

Although not all the soldiers at the border used water from the river, some of them took water from it.

At least, there was a certain chance of poisoning the soldiers poisoned from the river.

Long Xiaoyuan guessed that the target of the Eastern Darkness would be the river.

However, if they intended to go there, they had to go through Black Wind Forest.

If they didn’t go through Black Wind Forest, there was actually another route, but they had to detour and the distance was long! Furthermore, the path was steep and dangerous. If he were them, he wouldn’t choose to go there!

Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin and guessed that the people of the Eastern Darkness who used the war as a cover would definitely go through Black Wind Forest!

It was convenient, and they could feel Wang Qi out!

Why Wang Qi? Because several batches of people went there to inquire about him. It was obvious that he was exposed.

However, the one who went to inquire about him might be a partner threatened by Wang Qi, or maybe… it was Emperor Zhou!

However, Emperor Zhou was not likely to do that.

After all, Wang Qi took Fang Shuoyang’s side.

If it had been Emperor Zhou, he would have taken action. At least, he would have warned Fang Shuoyang.

But he did not.

Therefore, it could be their ‘partners’.

Since those ‘partners’ in the court could find out Wang Qi’s lair, it was nothing from them to reach out to the border.

Therefore, they would definitely choose to go through Black Wind Forest, thinking it would be great if they could search Wang Qi’s lair.

When Long Xiaoyuan was thinking about this, Liu Suifeng arrived.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately looked at him. “Here you are.”

Liu Suifeng looked at him. “Why do you ask me to come?”

“I think we have to hurry to Black Wind Forest.”

Liu Suifeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. “Black Wind Forest? Now?” Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Yes. Now.”

Liu Suifeng didn’t ask any more questions. “Let’s go.”

The two of them set off with more than ten Shadow Guardians.

It was not difficult for them to rush to Black Wind Forest before the Eastern Darkness.

Because they were much closer, and people in Black Wind Forest were on their side! Therefore, they were not in a hurry…

If they happened to meet the enemy when they arrived, they could help Black Wind Forest. Those people attempted to go through Black Wind Forest safely? Stop dreaming!

Even if they would succeed in poisoning, they would not get their way easily!
