Chapter 328. Infiltration Plan (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Long felt a sharp jolt in his heart. He didnât know what to say.
âYou asked me to wait for you to come back, but what you truly meant is that if you canât come back, you want me to live with our son, right?â
Long laughed dryly. âNo, thatâs not what I mean, Qingzhou. Youâre thinking too much.â
s.h.i.+ stopped quietly. âWhatever. Anyway, Iâm here with you now. If you die, Iâm here.â
Long took him into his arms at once. âSorry, Qingzhou.â
âWhat are you sorry about?â s.h.i.+ closed his eyes quietly. âYou donât have to be sorry.â
Long shook his head. âNo, I must say Iâm sorry, Qingzhou. Sorry, I acted selfishly. I just wanted to leave my son a peaceful future for more than a hundred years. At that time, I was really so angry that I wanted to punish you by leaving. Iâm sorry, itâs my fault. Qingzhou, itâs my fault.â
s.h.i.+ closed his eyes. âLetâs even it out. Last time, it was my fault.â
âOkay, weâre even.â Long smiled, then stepped back slightly, and said, âThen Qingzhou, now that weâre even, donât talk about the old days, okay?â
âOkay,â s.h.i.+ nodded. âLetâs forget it.â
The two smiled at each other and said nothing at all.
On this day, late at night.
Xu You looked at Fang Shuoyang with concern. âDid you really decide to say yes?â
Fang Shuoyang smiled. âWhatâs the matter? Didnât we decide long ago?â
What Fang Shuoyang said made Xu You not know what to say. Yes, they had already decided.
But when it came to that, he was worried.
Fang Shuoyang knew what Xu You were worried about and rubbed his head. âDonât worry, it will be all right.â
Xu You curled his lip. âYouâll only comfort me. By the way, I want to go to big Brother. I didnât even talk to him.â
Fang Shuoyang thought about it carefully. âI donât know. He would have come if he wanted to see you. Otherwise, we canât go to him, and it might get him into trouble.â
Xu You pursed his lips. âWhy is that? I miss him.â
Fang Shuoyang pinched Xu Youâs neck. âDo you think your man doesnât exist? In front of me you told me you missed someone else!â
Xu You blinked innocently. âWhat does that matter? Heâs my big brother.â
Fang Shuoyang snorted. âBig brother. If it hadnât been for him, you think youâd be so easy to talk to now?â
âYou are so bossy,â Xu You muttered.
Fang Shuoyang knocked on Xu Youâs head. âSay it again and I will do something bossier! â
Xu You blinked. âHow could you! â
Fang Shuoyang hugged him. âWhat do you say? I could be bossier!â
âYouâ¦â Xu You was very angry.
Fang Shuoyang held Xu You to the bed and Xu You struggled. âGo away!â
âI wonât go away! âAs he spoke, Fang Shuoyang pressed him a little tighter.
Fang Shuoyang chuckled and pounced on him again.
It was late, but they were on fire.
Three days later, everyone in the Eastern Darknessâs imperial city knew that Lord Zhou had another Prince.
He was named Zhou Shuoyang, and he became the current Fourth Prince.
Lord Zhou was said to love this prince very much.
The Fourth Prince was said to have grown up outside. There were different opinions as to whether he was brought up in the folk or in the hostile Tianlong Dynasty.
It was said that the Fourth Prince was very outstanding, with high martial arts skills.
There was one more contender for the throne.
Now, there was a Crown Prince, but he was not necessarily the heir to the throne.
There were originally three princes with their backing and now they had one more contender.
Long and s.h.i.+ sat in teahouse listening to peopleâs gossips.
Although these people dared not speak openly, they were still in a limited discussion.
At the very least, to speak falsely about the government would be condemned.
So, they could only talk about it in secret.
But, because it was something everyone liked to talk about, there was no way to ban it.
There were still people talking about it, but they said it in secret. Everybody knew it by heart.
As long as there was no trouble, the government would not interfere.
Long and s.h.i.+ were now listening in the teahouse.
âI never thought Fang Shuoyang would be so famous now.â Long smiled.
s.h.i.+ looked at him. âWell, I didnât think of that, but Iâm not surprised.â
Long touched his chin. âWhen do you think it will be appropriate for us to go, Qingzhou?â
âHeâs got his palace, and itâs time he was short of hands. We may go now.â
âReally? âLong blinked, âyou mean weâre going right now?â
âWhatâs the matter? Donât you want to go now?â s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows.
âThatâs not true. I just didnât expect you to be in such a hurry.â
s.h.i.+ smiled faintly. âCome on.â
âOkay.â Long nodded. âThen we will go back and prepare for it. w.a.n.g Qi and his men will also have to arrange it.â
s.h.i.+ nodded. âWell, letâs go.â
w.a.n.g Qi was looking for them when they got home.
âYouâre looking for us?â Long looked at w.a.n.g Qi.
w.a.n.g Qi nodded. âYes, we have done what Brother Lin ordered⦠a.s.sistant Minister w.a.n.g of the Ministry of Revenue has agreed.â
Long smiled. âWell, I see. Letâs move on. â
âOkay.â w.a.n.g Qi waited for Longâs orders.
Long handed him the name. âBe careful of this man. He has a weakness, remember.â
After w.a.n.g Qi left, Long breathed a sigh of relief.
s.h.i.+ said faintly. âWhatâs his number?â
âHeâs sixth.â The infiltration plan was still successful.â Long smiled.
s.h.i.+ nodded lightly. âOK, then letâs go get ready. Donât waste the time. With Fang Shuoyang as the s.h.i.+eld, our actions can be faster and more efficient.â
Long agreed. âWell, in a month, the Eastern Darkness has another wors.h.i.+p service. And it will be held in the middle of the Western Mountain, which will be a good opportunity.â
âWell, Western Mountain wors.h.i.+p. Itâs a great opportunity.â
Long smiled and took s.h.i.+âs hand. âCome on, letâs go.â
s.h.i.+ lowered his head and said, âOkay.â
