Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

442. Long Xiaoyuan Is Captured (II)

442. Long Xiaoyuan Is Captured (II)

While Shi Qingzhou was worried, Long Xiaoyuan and Ying Qiu were both unconscious.

When he fell down the trap, Long Xiaoyuan smelled a fragrance.

That fragrance made him drowsy, and soon Long Xiaoyuan could not resist and fell asleep.

After a long time, Long Xiaoyuan woke up.

He found himself in a room.

It was a very small room, where there was a bed, a table, two chairs, and a bedside table.

There was nothing else.

Furthermore, this room didn’t even have windows. The door was the only way out.

Now it was shut.

Long Xiaoyuan recalled carefully and then thought about the bamboo woods.

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. He had been very careful, but he still fell for the trap.

Shi Qingzhou must be worried now.

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and calmed down.

He got out of bed. He felt himself and thought there was nothing wrong with him.

He might not be able to feel it right.

Even if he was poisoned, he would only know when the poison took effect. Otherwise, there was no way to know about it. He felt he had strength and went to the door.

He casually tried to open the door without the expectation of opening it.

To his surprise, the door was opened.

Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback.

After opening the door, Long Xiaoyuan walked out leisurely.

Although the door is open, Long Xiaoyuan did not think that no one was watching him here. It was impossible that he was free.

Long Xiaoyuan went out of the small room and saw a small yard.

In the yard, someone was sipping tea.

Wu Ronghan!

Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes and walked up to him.

Wu Ronghan saw him coming and smiled without getting get up.

"Your Majesty, did you have a good sleep?"

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you. Where’s my Shadow Guardian?"

"He is still resting," Wu Ronghan said.

Long Xiaoyuan raised an eyebrow. "I am awake, but he isn’t?"

Wu Ronghan smiled. "His martial arts are excellent, so we don’t dare to wake him up."

Long Xiaoyuan paused and stared at Wu Ronghan, suddenly asking, "Are you the real Wu Ronghan?"

"Yes." Wu Ronghan nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "Are you sure you are? If you are, you would not leave your daughter behind."

Wu Ronghan smiled. "If that had been my own daughter, of course I wouldn’t have left her alone," said Wu Ronghan with a flicker in his eyes. "Unfortunately, she isn’t."

Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback. "She’s not? Impossible. She met Qingzhou when she was small."

"Because at that time, that was not my daughter. Your Majesty, do you want to see my daughter?"

Long Xiaoyuan paused. "What do you mean?"

Wu Ronghan smiled. "It’s the literal meaning, my daughter, my real daughter."

Long Xiaoyuan stared at Wu Ronghan and said, "Okay, let’s go and see."

Wu Ronghan smiled and didn’t say anything. He stood up from his seat and walked forward.

Long Xiaoyuan followed behind him.

They went to a room.

Wu Ronghan opened the door and entered.

Long Xiaoyuan followed inside, but as soon as he entered, he felt the piercing coldness.

Was this room an ice cellar?

Long Xiaoyuan soon discovered that it was not an ice cellar, but there was an ice coffin inside.

The coffin was made of crystal, but the coldness from the coffin could freeze anyone who approached it. Long Xiaoyuan instinctively used his scarce internal power to resist the chilliness of the room.

He saw Wu Ronghan walk towards the coffin and stop in front of it.

"This is my daughter. Is she cute?" Wu Ronghan said with genuine gentleness.

Long Xiaoyuan worked up his inner power and took two steps closer.

He saw the little girl lying in the ice coffin.

The little girl was at most five or six years old. He looked carefully at her features and found she looked like Wu Xiangyuan.

No, to be more exact, Wu Xiangyuan looked like her.

"This child is your daughter? Why did she become like this? Long Xiaoyuan asked.

"She’s sick, I’ll cure her," Wu Ronghan said firmly.

Long Xiaoyuan was startled. "Cure her? Isn’t she dead?"

Long Xiaoyuan blurted out, and Wu Ronghan looked at him sharply.

"Of course. She’s still alive. How could she die?"

Wu Ronghan looked insane. Evidently this girl was his most important person.

Long Xiaoyuan said slowly. "Okay. How do you plan to save her?"

Wu Ronghan didn’t say anything, but he looked at Long Xiaoyuan with a faint smile.

Long Xiaoyuan instantly understood. "Does it have something to do with me?"

Wu Ronghan ignored Long Xiaoyuan and turned to kiss the ice coffin. After that, he turned around.

"Your Majesty, let’s talk about it outside."

Long Xiaoyuan paused and followed him out.

After leaving the icy room, Long Xiaoyuan felt that he was alive, as he didn’t have to use his inner power to resist the coldness.

When they got outside, Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, "The ice coffin is a good thing."

"Yes." Wu Ronghan nodded in agreement. "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put my precious daughter in it."

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Wu Ronghan and said lightly, "She’s your precious daughter. What about Wu Xiangyuan, the woman I know? Was she your daughter’s substitute?"

"You’re right. She was my daughter’s substitute. After my daughter fell ill, I accidentally met the child, who was an orphan, so I brought her back and changed her memory."

"You really know Soul-controlling Method." Long Xiaoyuan squinted.

"Not only me. There is another man knowing about this. You should be very familiar with him."

"The man who wants to rule the three kingdoms?" Long Xiaoyuan raised an eyebrow.

"That’s right. His subordinates called him Lord, and he called himself Kong of Three."

Long Xiaoyuan’s mouth twitched. "King of Three. Does that mean the king of the three kingdoms?"

"That’s right," Wu Ronghan smiled. "He’s ambitious, but his martial arts are very high. He is capable, and he knows a lot of things. My Soul-controlling Method is not as good as his. It is nothing compared to his."

Long Xiaoyuan paused and said. "King of Three performed the method on Ouyang Chuan?"

"That’s right. It’s him," Wu Ronghan nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan asked again, "Where is Ouyang Chuan now?"

Wu Ronghan smiled in surprise. "Why do you ask?"

Long Xiaoyuan sneered. "I guess Ouyang Chuan is now under your control, right?"

"You can say that, but I tell you, I can’t control him. I can only temporarily influence him. Now, Ouyang Chuan is locked up. When the King of Three comes over, he might take away Ouyang Chuan."

"He is coming?" Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah. King of Three has done so much just to meet you. Why doesn’t he come since you are here?"

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Wu Ronghan and suddenly said, "Why do you cooperate with him? Because of your daughter?"

Wu Ronghan paused for a moment and couldn’t help laughing. "Your Majesty, you are very smart. Your guess is right. I do it for my daughter." Long Xiaoyuan said, "The King of Three says he can

Wu Ronghan nodded. "That’s right."

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and said, "In that case, why did you intend to kill him?"

Wu Ronghan said lightly, "I don’t plan to hide it from you. Since you ask, I will tell you. Because I don’t want to put all my hope on him, so I thinking of killing or capturing him to find the things I need. Unfortunately, I failed, so I have to continue to work with him."

"In this case, you don’t have to cooperate with him, right? Isn’t it the same if we work together to kill him or capture him?"

"It used to be the same." Wu Ronghan shook his head regretfully. "But unfortunately, it is different now."

Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes flashed. "He is controlling you?"

Wu Ronghan nodded. "You can view it this way."

Long Xiaoyuan suddenly said, "Who do you think is better in medicine, he or Liu Suifeng?"

Wu Ronghan paused and smiled. "I think Liu Suifeng is better, but it is a pity that Liu Suifeng has his own principles as a doctor, and he doesn’t resort to evil methods."

"So, it takes evil methods to save your daughter?" Long Xiaoyuan instantly figured it out.

Wu Ronghan nodded with a faint smile. "Yeah, it requires the so-called evil methods."

Long Xiaoyuan stared at Wu Ronghan. "Do you think it worthwhile to do this for your daughter? All the subordinates of Tianji Sect mean nothing to you? As far as I know, Tianji Sect doesn’t belong to your family, does it? Aren’t you afraid that the founder of Tianji Sect would turn in his grave?"

Wu Ronghan turned pale slightly.

Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, "It seems that you still care about Tianji Sect, but unfortunately, Tianji Sect has been taken over by the imperial family. I should thank you for that."

Wu Ronghan’s face darkened. "So what if the imperial family owns it now? If you die, the Tianlong Dynasty will no longer exist!"

"You’re too naïve." Long Xiaoyuan interrupted Wu Ronghan without hesitation. "Why do you think a dynasty belongs to only one person? The world belongs to the people. So what if King of Three knows evil methods? He can control a person, but can he control the whole world? Can he get the support of the people? If he doesn’t know how to rule and doesn’t care about the people, I’m certain that he will be killed by the people even though he has unrivalled martial arts!"

He said in a firm and determined voice.

Someone was clapping.

Long Xiaoyuan and Wu Ronghan looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

The young man whom Long Xiaoyuan had met slowly walked over.

"I have never imagined that the Emperor of Tianlong Dynasty would think this way… This is really surprising."

Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, "Are you King of Three?"

"Yes."

Long Xiaoyuan sneered. "Who gave you the title? Yourself?"

"Yes." the third king smiled, as if he didn’t notice Long Xiaoyuan’s mockery at all. "Although you think it’s funny now, when I become the king of the three kingdoms, you won’t find it amusing."

Long Xiaoyuan thought he was a lunatic.

"Why don’t you tell me how you are going to rule the world? With your ambition, or with your poison and venomous insects which help you control people?"

"He who follows me prospers, and he who disobeys me perishes. Don’t you think this is normal? If the people obey me, I will be willing to treat them well. If they are not willing to surrender, then I would not mind using some special methods."

Long Xiaoyuan looked at King of Three like looking at an idiot.

King of Three was instantly enraged, and a trace of displeasure flashing in his dark eyes. "Is that not right?"

Long Xiaoyuan sighed and suddenly said, "You learned these ideas from your mother when you were small?"

"Yes. So what?" King of Three turned cold.

Long Xiaoyuan shrugged, "I can only say… the Empress of Northern Barbarians made the right decision of killing your mother."

The King of Three’s eyes turned cold, "Really?"

Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, "You don’t even know how to be an emperor. You just want to conquer the world with your poison. Can you get the support of the people? You are kidding me."

"If the people are scared of me, they will listen to me. If they dare to rebel, I will kill them."

"You take the lives of the people lightly, so you’ve developed many poisonous creatures and made experiments on the people in the city, right?"

"They are just like ants." The King of Three said indifferently.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Wu Ronghan. "Mr. Wu, do you agree with him?"

Wu Ronghan didn’t say anything.

Long Xiaoyuan turned to King of Three. "How about your subordinates? Are they really loyal to you? Or are they all controlled by you with the venomous insects?"

The three kings sneered. "Is there a difference?"

"Don’t you feel you are pathetic if you have to make people work for you with such methods? How could you feel so well about yourself? I’m amazed."

"You…" King of Three stared coldly at Long Xiaoyuan and slapped him.

Long Xiaoyuan was hit off the ground and then landed heavily.

Wu Ronghan’s feet moved slightly, but he quickly retreated back with a calm and cold expression.

King of Three slowly walked to Long Xiaoyuan and put a foot on his chest.

"I thought the Emperor of Tianlong Dynasty was a smart person, but I didn’t expect you to be an idiot. Didn’t anyone teach you to be obedient in custody? You have the nerve to talk nonsense here. Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?"

Long Xiaoyuan coughed and smiled. "Yes, you’re powerful, and my life is in your hand, but I still feel sad for you. Ever since you were born, you’ve been pathetic. You have these crazy ideas, but you feel good about them. How pathetic!"

King of Three slapped him again with a cold face.

The sharp pain came, and Long Xiaoyuan fainted.

King of Three snorted coldly and walked up to Wu Ronghan.

"Mr. Wu, well done. I’m glad."

Wu Ronghan said lightly, "My daughter is inside. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise, right?"

"Of course." King of Three laughed. "Mr. Wu, come with me."

As he said, he walked to the ice coffin, and Wu Ronghan quickly followed him…

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t sleep well this time.

When he woke up again, he didn’t know the time.

It was the same bed, but he felt sore all over this time.

Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and regretted it.

He had already known that man was a psychopath, why couldn’t he hold back his tongue?

What was there to talk about with that psychopath?

Long Xiaoyuan pouted and sit up in bed. He didn’t get out of bed. He was tired and sore, and a little hungry.

Long Xiaoyuan leaned against the head of the bed, trying to steady his breath.

At this moment, the door opened. Wu Ronghan came in with two bowls in his hands.

There was food in one bowl and medicine in the other.

"Take your medicine first," Wu Ronghan said lightly.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at the bowl and asked, "You won’t poison me, will you?"

Wu Ronghan sneered. "It doesn’t make a difference. Anyway, you will be killed sooner or later."

Long Xiaoyuan laughed.

"You’re right. Where is King of Three?"

Wu Ronghan said lightly, "He’s treating my daughter."

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "Treating… I wonder if your daughter will be a normal girl after she is cured."

Wu Ronghan said coldly, "It’s none of your business."

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t say anything else.

Wu Ronghan put down the bowls.

"Take them. Don’t starve yourself to death."

Then Wu Ronghan went out.

Long Xiaoyuan sighed softly.

It has been more than two days since he was missing.

He wondered how Shi Qingzhou was doing.

Qingzhou.

Long Xiaoyuan’s gaze softened when he thought about the person he loved deeply.

A moment later, Long Xiaoyuan drained the medicine.

"It’s really bitter."

If Qingzhou had been here with him, he could have complained about this.

Unfortunately, no one was here now.

Sighing, Long Xiaoyuan started to eat.

Because of the pain all over his body, Long Xiaoyuan didn’t have much appetite, but he knew that he had to maintain his physical strength.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan forced himself to eat most of the rice.

In the end, he stopped when he couldn’t eat more.

After a while, the door opened, and Wu Ronghan entered again.

"Finished eating?"

"Yes." Long Xiaoyuan looked at Wu Ronghan and asked curiously, "Why do you come every time? Are all your subordinates gone?"

Wu Ronghan paused and said lightly, "They’re busy."

Long Xiaoyuan blinked and suddenly smiled. "Do you mean… they went outside to attract the attention of the court, so that you would not be disturbed here?"

Wu Ronghan said lightly, "Your Majesty, you are smart."

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "I’m not smart. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have caught me."

Wu Ronghan didn’t say anything. He took the bowl and went out.

Long Xiaoyuan looked around and saw that he was alone…

Long Xiaoyuan lay down slowly, planning to sleep and restore his physical strength.

He had no idea why King of Three didn’t take him away, but he probably wouldn’t stay in this place for long. Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan fell asleep again…

This time, Long Xiaoyuan had a dream, where he saw Shi Qingzhou.

Shi Qingzhou was anxious about his disappearance. Long Xiaoyuan wanted to comfort Shi Qingzhou, but he couldn’t touch him. Long Xiaoyuan tried hard to reach Shi Qingzhou, but he failed…

After a long time, Long Xiaoyuan woke up.

Shi Qingzhou was not there…

Looking at the bed, Long Xiaoyuan sighed.

"Qingzhou, Qingzhou."

He called out softly, but the person he wished to see was not there…
