Prey's Melaleuca Routine [Unlimited]

Chapter 10 Scarlet City 10

This place is remote, with lush trees, even the sunlight can be shut out, and while it is quiet, it also brings a coldness.

As the sky turned dark completely, the air became colder and colder. When the wind blew again, Chen Banbai couldn't help shivering.

He just came out for a walk, but he didn't put on his coat.

The cold was uncomfortable, and when He Lanzhou wanted to chat with him again, he still didn't speak much.

Finally, he heard He Lanzhou say: "Banbai, you can go back, I'll see you off."

In less than half a day, He Lanzhou called him "banbai" familiarly.

"No, I can go back by myself." When Chen Banbai heard that he could go back, he got up happily, and before leaving, he said to He Lanzhou: "It's getting late, and you should go back to rest earlier, next time you have time, come to Qiyanju to find me That's right."

After speaking, Chen Banbai quickened his pace and left.

He Lanzhou looked at Chen Banbai's hasty pace and raised the corners of his mouth.

He thought that Chen Banbai was really not afraid, but he was still afraid after thinking about it.

But Chen Banbai is different from other people who are afraid of him, he is more cute and pleasing to the eye.

Chen Banbai went back to sleep and fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, his head was a little dizzy. Fortunately, he didn't seem to have a cold or fever.

He slept until the sun was up, and when he finished washing up and was about to make lunch, He Cong'an came to visit again.

This time his expression was a little strange, he didn't look angry, but he couldn't be called happy either, it seemed very complicated.

"Don't do it, I brought you food." He Cong'an gestured to the food box on the table with his eyes.

Chen Banbai opened the food box, and the intoxicating fragrance instantly gave him a bit of appetite even though his tongue was dull.

He took out the dishes one by one, and then started to eat, without asking why He Cong'an came here this time.

He Cong'an originally waited for Chen Banbai to take the initiative to ask something, but found that Chen Banbai was only focused on eating, didn't look at him, and didn't intend to talk to him, as if everything was inferior to the job in his hand.

He really wanted to throw away Chen Banbai's job!

Just when He Cong'an was inexplicably frustrated and feeling devastated, Chen Banbai finally spoke.

"My lord, is there someone else living around here?"

He Cong'an frowned when he heard this, "Did you see him?"

Chen Banbai said: "I saw someone from a distance, but he left as soon as he noticed me, and he didn't look like a servant."

Chen Banbai concealed the specific situation last night, he didn't want He Cong'an to intervene to do anything to He Lanzhou.

He was afraid that He Lanzhou would find out that he had recruited him, and what he would do to him then.

He Cong'an guessed that he would not be afraid if he had a hole card, but Chen Banbai didn't want to provoke a strong enemy.

"That's my second brother." Seeing that nothing happened when Chen Banbai met He Lanzhou, He Cong'an frowned slightly, and then told Chen Banbai: "Don't go out wandering around at night, if you see him again, You run clean too, don't get close."

Chen Banbai seemed to be simply puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

He Cong'an said: "He is very dangerous."

He Cong'an saw that Chen Banbai was still staring at him with doubts and curiosity in his eyes, and explained: "His mother is my father's original spouse, and the two of them are deeply in love. His mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to him. Hate him for leaving him to his servants and hardly pay any attention."

"It wasn't until more and more servants died in his yard that it alarmed my father. After investigation, I found that he was a genius who had completed his awakening at a very young age, but he was different from others in that he couldn't control it at all. This power."

"As long as he is unhappy, he may kill unconsciously at any time."

"The ability to "awaken" was discovered less than five years ago. My father asked those people for advice, hoping to control my second brother's ability. Unfortunately, the first awakened powerhouse was powerless. In the end, I Dad had to lock him in the backyard and ordered him not to leave the place. "

"Get close to him, you will become unlucky, and you will be disabled if you don't die." He Cong'an shook his head: "In short, stay away from him."

Chen Banbai said lightly: "I see."

After He Cong'an explained it for a long time, seeing Chen Banbai's indifferent reaction, he felt a little annoyed, and felt that he seemed to have forgotten something...

He pondered for a moment before he realized what the problem was - he knew that He Lanzhou was dangerous, but he deliberately arranged Chen Banbai in the yard near He Lanzhou.

"..." In fact, he was a little deliberate at the time.

At that time, he was very upset to see Chen Banbai, and he was thinking of motivating/teaching this person.

He Cong'an bit the bullet and explained: "The place you want to be quiet, in the entire He Mansion, there is nowhere more quiet than here."

"My second elder brother won't take the initiative to hurt others. As long as you don't provoke him, generally nothing will go wrong."

After explaining, He Cong'an felt awkward again, why did he explain to Chen Banbai?

Chen Banbai responded lightly, disapproving of He Cong'an's explanation in his heart.He understood what He Cong'an was thinking, and he also knew how dangerous He Lanzhou was.

He Cong'an's brain hurt, he quickly changed the subject: "I came here today to tell you something."

Chen Banbai made a curious gesture to save face, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is news from Situ Xue that after he drowned, he has nightmares every day. Prince Qin sent someone to ask me to ask you to serve Situ Xue. What do you think?"

On the surface, what Prince Qin said was that Chen Banbai rescued Situ Xue, and with Chen Banbai around, Situ Xue could feel more at ease, as long as there is no doubt about the trouble of the frightening dream.

But He Cong'an snorted. With the strength of those men defending Situ Xue, they would never agree that it was Chen Banbai who saved Situ Xue, they would only remember that Chen Banbai was the one who pushed Situ Xue down, and went to serve It's true, but it's also true to vent your anger on Situ Xue. It will be lucky for Chen Banbai to come back alive, and it's not surprising that he died there.

He knew Prince Qin's plan, but he couldn't refuse it firmly.

For this account, Yan Chuxi put the pot on his head. Prince Qin asked Chen Banbai instead of directly asking him to go, which was already a kind of concession.

Probably Situ Xue's life is still safe, otherwise the "Miss" of the dignified He family would probably have to go and serve her.

Whether or not to refute Prince Qin's face for Chen Banbai's sake is He Cong'an's point of hesitation.

He intends to give this choice to Chen Banbai himself.

To go, or not to go?

He Cong'an didn't know which answer he was expecting, he looked at Chen Banbai fixedly.

Chen Banbai's brows moved slightly closer, and there was a layer of boredom in his eyebrows and eyes.

It's really hard to be a salted fish.

Soon Chen Banbai adjusted his mentality of suddenly collapsed.He took a deep breath, and decided not to think about self-cultivation, first complete the agreement with He Cong'an, and then let's talk about it after leaving Yuecheng.

It is indeed his wishful thinking that he still wants to live a leisurely life under the fence of others and still as a slave.

After Chen Banbai made a decision, his mentality also changed, and his thinking changed from passive to active.He thought for a while, and said to He Cong'an: "I think this is an opportunity. With Situ Xue beside me, it's easier for me to get in touch with the target."

It is indeed a good idea to stay by Situ Xue's side. He Cong'an also wanted to take the initiative to send people to approach Situ Xue before, but unfortunately, they were all meat buns beating dogs, and none of them succeeded.

Now that Situ Xue took the initiative to give such a position by her side, it was a good thing, but...

He Cong'an looked at Chen Banbai with complicated eyes: "Are you still thinking about the mission? Are you afraid of dying there and not coming back?"

"This is an agreement between me and you. I promised to fulfill it." Chen Banbai picked up the tea cup and rinsed his mouth. "As for the danger, if it's not dangerous, it's not my turn to do it, right?"

"My lord, you don't have to feel that you owe me. Even if I die there, it's because of my lack of strength and bad luck. It has nothing to do with your lord. You don't owe me anything."

Chen Banbai was clearly trying to comfort He Cong'an, to excuse He Cong'an, but when He Cong'an heard this, he felt that his heart was being clenched by a hand, and he felt palpitations and discomfort.

If Chen Banbai is really gone forever...

He Cong'an had a trace of reluctance in his heart that he didn't realize.

"If you can come back alive, I can do one thing for you as best I can. You can do whatever you want." He Cong'an promised.

He Cong'an's promise is still valuable.Chen Banbai finally had a smile on his face, "Okay."

Chen Banbai agreed to come down, and He Cong'an left Qiyanju, and then sent a message to Prince Qin, expressing a compromise, allowing them to take Chen Banbai away.

Prince Qin's servants had been waiting for a long time, and came quickly as soon as they got the news, Chen Banbai only had time to tidy up his personal clothes.

He originally wanted to leave a message for He Lanzhou, but unfortunately there was no pen and paper in his yard.It was also inconvenient for him to let He Cong'an or someone under He Cong'an speak for him, so he had no choice but to give up.

We'll talk about everything when he comes back.

In order to let Chen Banbai rush over quickly, Chen Banbai also got into the carriage in the palace.The road was flat, and other people consciously avoided seeing the totems on the carriage. In this way, Chen Banbai arrived at... the palace smoothly and quickly.

Yes, the palace.

Don't look at King Qin Qin's busy posture, but in fact, Situ Xue is now the prince's man on the surface, and he also lives in the prince's palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Chen Banbai started to walk, and when he arrived at the Qing Palace where the prince was, his sweat had already wet all the hair on his forehead.

Unlike when he was in the He Mansion, there are palace people everywhere, and everyone is like a part of a precision instrument, and no one looks at Chen Banbai without authorization.

One of the eunuchs with no white beard came out from the door, and after pushing away the people around Chen Banbai, he said to Chen Banbai: "Your Highness wants to see you, you come with our house."

Chen Banbai also didn't expect that he could see Crown Prince Yan Lang instead of seeing Prince Qin.

The current emperor of Yuecheng basically ignores government affairs, the crown prince supervises the country, and Prince Qin assists.

Unlike the dynasty that Chen Banbai knew, Yuecheng paid unprecedented attention to the crown prince, and realized that other princes had no intention of competing for the position. It is basically equivalent to the emperor.

Chen Banbai heard a few words from He Cong'an, and now the crown prince has shown extraordinary talents since he was a child. Whether it is governing the country or being a person, great integrity or personal virtue, everything is beyond reproach, and other small advantages are said to be countless.

Trusted by the emperor, respected by brothers, and supported by ministers, Yan Lang's position as the crown prince is very secure. Unfortunately, no one is perfect, and nothing is perfect. Yan Lang seems to be suffering from a strange disease, and he falls into a deep sleep for one month every year. At other times, they are more susceptible to disease and weaker than ordinary people.

This time He Xiuyun and He Cong'an rushed back from outside because Yan Lang woke up from a deep sleep. Even if he was unwell, he would deal with government affairs intensively. Get busy.

Since He Xiuyun returned to the mansion, he has been busy without touching the ground, and Chen Banbai has never seen each other again.

Chen Banbai followed the eunuch into the main hall, and then entered a study from the main hall.

Autumn is cool but not cold, but there is a charcoal pot burning in the house, and the incense is also warm. Chen Banbai's face, which had turned pale from walking, became rosy again because of the warmth.

When Chen Banbai was kneeling, he heard the sound of jade in front of him.

"Gu knows that you were implicated innocently. In the future, you will take good care of Situ and Situ Wuyu. Gu will send you back to the He family in full."

"Yes, Your Highness."

When Chen Banbai came in just now, the old eunuch told him to keep his head down, and he couldn't face the king directly. He wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Yan Lang is not Bailiyao, let alone Xiguang, so he is not allowed to be presumptuous. .

Chen Banbai behaved well and did not go out of line, but Yan Lang still looked at Chen Banbai more, with a hint of research.

Without him, even if someone is kneeling there and dressed simply, they can still show some stunning beauty.

The last person who gave Yan Lang such a feeling was Situ Xue.

Yan Lang casually ordered: "Raise your head."

Chen Banbai raised his head and looked at Yan Lang. He was as handsome as expected... In the palace, at least the few princes and daughters Chen Banbai saw had no genetic mutation in appearance, and they were all outstanding.

And Yan Lang's temperament is even more rare than his appearance.

When Chen Banbai looked at Yan Lang, Yan Lang had to look at Chen Banbai more straightforwardly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Chen Banbai's appearance was too outstanding, which he hadn't noticed before.

He couldn't help thinking about He Cong'an's intentions.

Before, he guessed like everyone else that He Cong'an's petty mind was to make a fuss about Situ Xue's status as a slave, and if Situ Xue couldn't be moved, he would vent his anger and humiliate the slave with the same status.

Judging from He Cong'an's attitude, this is indeed the case.

Now it seems that may not be the case.
