Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 318 – Run for Dear Life (II)

Chapter 318. Run for Dear Life (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“We can hire a wagon. You sit on it and look at the goods.”

“Huh? “Long blinked.” Is it too conspicuous? ”

Generally speaking, only the big caravans had wagons and used horse-drawn carriages.

But smugglers just carried the burdens.

Even if they had a wagon, it must be small and need to be pulled, not driven!

After all, they were new here. Wasn’t that a little blatant for a van like that?

“It’s all right, we’ve got more stuff, and we can get an extra wagon. And we’re only renting it in the Eastern Darkness, not buying it. As soon as we leave here, we’ll return it. It won’t arouse suspicion if we say so.”

Wang Qi’s words got Long thinking. In the end, his self-enjoyment prevailed.

So Long nodded. “Well, then, let’s hire a wagon.”

“Well, besides, we’ve only got two more cities before we can go straight to the Imperial City. We can use an excuse to do business there. ”

“That’s a good idea.” Long nodded. “Let’s do it after we’ve had breakfast.”

Long made his decision.

Wang Qi and Long went on errands, and Long had breakfast in the inn.

Of course, the breakfast was not very good, but he had enough to eat.

Everyone else had a good meal.

Wang Qi’s efficiency was quite good.

After Long finished breakfast, Wang Qi rented the wagon and came back.

They hired a medium wagon with two horses, and Long and Ouyang Chuan, who looked like two brothers, were the drivers.

Of course, Ouyang Chuan was the one who really drove, because Long couldn’t do that!

It took five days for they to reach the next city in the Eastern Darkness.

And they stayed in the city for two days.

Two days later, they resumed their journey.

That day, they met the bandits on a mountain road!

Long was very surprised. “So there are bandits here too!”

“Of course,” chuckled Ouyang Chuan. “They’re everywhere.”

“All right.” Long touched his nose.

“Let’s get off and make good guards. We can’t kill all of them.”

“Okay, I got it.” Long nodded and got out of the wagon.

There were a dozen bandits. Long and Ouyang Chuan stayed behind, and the others rushed up.

After a “hard” battle, their side beat off the bandits.

In fact, if it weren’t for the show, two of them would have been enough.

Among them, Wang Mao and Zhang Guang got injuries.

Long could not help but twitch his lips. They were so realistic!

The injuries were real. Then, Zhang Guang and Wang Mao applied medicine on the side of the road with a cloth wrapped around their arms. The cloth was oozing blood, but after today, everyone should know they were not to be messed with.

The bandits were also said to communicate with each other.

If there was a hard opponent, they would tell each other.

So, for the next few days, they did not encounter any trouble.

But in each city, these “outsiders” were required to bribe the local authorities.

Otherwise, there was no reason for those people to allow them to do business!

Wang Qi and his men done a very good job of that.

In this way, they finally reached the third city after more than ten days.

From here, they could go straight to the Imperial City.

It would take them at least ten days to get to Imperial City, even if they went all out.

These days, though, Long felt a lot better because he didn’t have to walk on legs anymore.

That was all that was suffered on the wagon: the wind and the sun.

Long had no doubt that he would be a lot darker if he didn’t wear a mask.

Maybe even Shi wouldn’t recognize him when he went back to his house?

Whenever thinking of this, Long was filled with mixed feelings.

That day they camped out in the open.

They didn’t have a tent. They just found a shelter and wrapped themselves in thick clothes.

They didn’t have any trouble these days.

That was because all the gang members who were picking on them got together for one day!

Long had only just fallen asleep when the horse began to neigh.

Zhang Guang roared. “Alert! The enemy attack!”

Long woke with a start. Ouyang Chuan and Ying Feng approach Long’s side quietly.

Ouyang Chuan went on, “Big brother! Be careful!”

Long nodded. “Well, everybody must be careful.”

At this time, a big man came out. “You’d better hand over all your goods! Otherwise, you and your goods will be left with nothing!”

After the big man had finished speaking, about fifty people gathered.

The horses raised their legs in a sort of panic, as if they felt a strong threat.

Long lowered his voice. “Are they all bandits? Are they together?”

“Not necessarily. I see them vaguely divided into three camps, probably united.”

“We’re still too high profile,” Long sighed. “Now we’re in trouble.” ”

The corners of Ouyang Chuan’s mouth twitched. “What do you think we’re high profile for?”

Long completely forgot the fact that it was for him!

At this point, Wang Qi shouted, “There are so many of them! We fight as we run!”

Long didn’t really think much of these people, but he had to pretend to be.

So Long and Ouyang Chuan jumped into the wagon.

Wang Qi, Zhang Guang, and Wang Shu came to open the way for Long.

Long was in the carriage, Ouyang Chuan was driving.

Wang Qi and other men killed people in this direction.

So, after “fight kill”, finally, some bandits were killed.

The wagon drove off smoothly.

“Cover a retreat! Don’t let the goods be lost!” Wang Mao shouted.

“Got it! ”

Long, Ouyang Chuan, and Ying Feng, who caught up later, ran for their lives, while the others covered the retreat,

They ran all night.

At daybreak the next day the carriage stopped.

Long was already drowsy in the wagon.

How could he not sleep? Actually he slept last night and almost fell down from his wagon!

Luckily, Ouyang Chuan pulled him out just in time, and Long was saved from falling off the wagon!

Ouyang Chuan was absolutely speechless.

“It should be safe here. Are you still sleepy?” Ouyang Chuan looked at Long with amusement.

Long yawned. “Are we safe now?”

“Well, they didn’t catch up. Let’s find somewhere else and wait for Wang Qi and others.”

“Oh.” Long jumped out of the carriage. “Are we going to town soon?”

“It will take some time, judging by the map.”

“Well…” Long scratched his hair. “Then let’s get something to eat first. I’m hungry.”

“What else can you think of besides sleeping and eating?” asked Ouyang Chuan.

Long blinked innocently. “What else is there to think about? You’ve got that all figured out for me, haven’t you?”

Ouyang Chuan was speechless.

“I will look for some food,” said Ying Feng.

“Go ahead.” Long waved his hand.

Ying Feng left quickly.

Ouyang Chuan didn’t know what to say.

After Ying Feng left, Long said, “Do you have any more water?”

Ouyang Chuan curled his lips. “Yes, what’s the matter? ”

“Of course I want to drink it.” Long looked at him strangely. “Or why should I ask you that?”

“…”

Long was truly a master! Damn it.
