C9 A Wonderful Misunderstanding
"I thought you really had nothing to do with it. It seems I was too naive." Xiao Yun put down the book in his hand and looked at Jian Bai.
Jian Bai was a little confused. "What naivety?"
"You have been staring at me since I came in. Tell me... what are you thinking about?" Xiao Yun smiled. His meaning was obvious.
Jian Bai did not know how to explain. Was he going to say that he was not interested in him? This was too hypocritical. It didn't suit the style of this young master.
Jian Bai's silence further confirmed Xiao Yun's guess. Not only that, he also sneered in his heart.
"Since you want this, I can't possibly give it to you. So..." Xiao Yun stared at Jian Bai. His meaning couldn't be any more obvious. He was going to shut the door and send the guest away.
"You misunderstood me. Everyone loves beauty. Besides, I already have someone I love. As for you..." Jian Bai stopped at the right time, but Xiao Yun could roughly guess what he was going to say next.
"You!" Xiao Yun was angry. This guy was indirectly saying that he was narcissistic!
But thinking about it again, this was also good. After all, having one more person to help him, he also hoped that his path would be easier.
"It's better if I don't have this idea." Xiao Yun rolled his eyes, which made Jian Bai's heart flutter. What a rare beauty, but unfortunately, it wasn't his. He felt a little strange. He originally wanted to take revenge. But now... it seemed like he was a little out of line.
Jian Bai unceremoniously walked over and sat down. He took out a blueprint from his pocket and spread it on the table. Xiao Yun was naturally curious. He walked over to check it out.
"How did you do it?" Xiao Yun's shock was indescribable. The map showed the distribution of the forces of the princes. The officials who had submitted to the princes and their information were all on it. Xiao Yun was no exception.
Furthermore, it was exactly the same!
"Don't make a fuss out of it. Isn't it simple? So, with my help, you can work hard for a few decades less." Not only was Jian Bai pleased with himself, even though this was exchanged from the System Store with 30 experience points, it could also be considered the result of his own hard work.
Xiao Yun was speechless.
He began to doubt again, could it be true? He would die before he ascended the throne? With his strength, who could force him to this extent?
"Don't be silly, quickly come and discuss it!" Jian Bai was impatient. Originally accepting this mission was already enough to make him feel aggrieved, and he still wanted to obtain this lousy prince... Cough cough, trust... Wasn't this forcing him to die?
... ""
Xiao Yun felt helpless. Since he had already decided to trust him, that was it. He resigned himself to his fate and walked over to sit down. He looked at the blueprint seriously.
Xiao Yun sat beside Jian Bai. His expressionless face caused Jian Bai's heart to race. Xiao Yun, who was being stared at, turned his head and looked at Jian Bai with a smile that was not a smile. The teasing in his eyes could not be any more obvious.
"Cough cough." Jian Bai coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
"Do you think your man will be jealous if he finds out that you are looking at me like that?" Xiao Yun obviously wanted to take revenge on Jian Bai. Usually, it was Jian Bai who suppressed him. How could he give up such a good opportunity?
"No!" Jian Bai's tone was not good. After all, it was very embarrassing to be found out when he was peeking at others.
"How do you plan to seize the position? Force or something else?" Jian Bai asked directly, but it was obvious that he was trying to change the topic.
"Try not to use force. That way, your reputation will not be good." Xiao Yun let Jian Bai go. It was better to stop before it was too late.
"En, then let's start with the Emperor. How is your relationship with the Emperor?" Jian Bai suddenly asked.
... "What do you want?" Xiao Yun had reason to believe that this person would first capture the Emperor and force him to write an imperial edict before killing him.
... "What are you thinking!" Jian Bai was about to die from anger. Could it be that he was that kind of rude person?
"Have you never thought about it?" Xiao Yun looked back at the blueprint.
... "" Xiao Yun was right. He had indeed thought about it. But that was not realistic.
"I have thought about it." Jian Bai admitted it openly. After all, it was not an ugly thing.
... "" He had actually thought of it! But with his skills, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to do this.
"Don't even think about it. It's impossible. I can't do this." Jian Bai seemed to have seen through Xiao Yun's thoughts and directly interrupted Xiao Yun's nonsensical thinking.
"Why?" This aroused Xiao Yun's curiosity. Jian Bai, who could even enter and exit the Imperial Palace freely, actually had something he could not do? Could it be that the person who threatened him did it?
This so-called person who threatened Jian Bai was completely out of Xiao Yun's imagination. Strictly speaking, there really was such a person. That was the system. Furthermore, the system was not a human, it was just an intelligent system.
"It will break the balance, you only need to know that much!" Jian Bai raised his voice and interrupted Xiao Yun, who was about to break the claypot and ask the question.
He felt that he had no secrets in front of him. It was too scary. Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel lucky that this person wasn't his opponent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.
"Answer my question." Jian Bai reminded him. Could he answer a question properly? Was asking a question that difficult?
"He gave my mother a death wish." Xiao Yun did not answer directly, but this sentence was enough to explain the problem.
"Is that so?" Jian Bai raised his eyebrows. There was such a thing? Why didn't he know?
However, there was a problem, "You four brothers have already been crowned as kings, so why isn't there a prince mansion of your own? I mean outside the Imperial Palace. " Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't the King have his own King's Manor?
Why do you think so? " Xiao Yun looked at him doubtfully. This kind of thing had never happened before.
Not good. Could it be that there was no such rule in this place? Then I have been exposed?
"But your suggestion is not bad. I will consider it after I ascend the throne. Jian Bai was right. He felt that he could not live freely in the palace. His every move seemed to be monitored. It was too tiring.
... "Does this mean that he didn't expose himself? It seems like I didn't explain anything, this is too easy. Jian Bai did not think too much about it. It would be best if he did not suspect him.
"What do you think about this map?" Jian Bai looked at the blueprint and could not see anything special about it. After all, he was not very familiar with the twists and turns of the palace.
"The Second Prince's forces are the most widely distributed." He seemed to be lamenting, but at the same time, he seemed to be mocking himself.
"Don't worry, we'll get rid of them one by one." These words were very arrogant, but Xiao Yun felt that this person had the confidence to say them.
"En, let's start with the generals. You... can you do it?" Xiao Yun suspected that this person was very proficient in schemes, but it was obvious that Jian Bai was very unhappy.
"Right..."
"Shut up! Xiao Yun, who thought he was apologizing, was interrupted by Jian Bai. At this moment, Jian Bai's face was full of black lines.
As a person of the 21st century, Jian Bai could not stop himself from thinking too much. This was simply doubting a man's ability! It was unforgivable!
"Don't say such words again in the future. I will definitely let you taste whether I can do it or not." Jian Bai said while gnashing his teeth in anger.
Obviously, not everyone liked to have crooked thoughts like him. Xiao Yun thought that he was threatening him. He slightly narrowed his eyes and endured his anger. After all, he was the one who was at fault first, so he shouldn't have doubted him.
"It won't be." Xiao Yun started to read the blueprint again, and Jian Bai's anger disappeared. He rubbed his nose awkwardly. He knew Xiao Yun had misunderstood. But he didn't want to explain, and the more he explained, the more it seemed like he was being indecent.
"I'll give you this blueprint. I'm not good at reading maps." Jian Bai took out a stone whistle and handed it to Xiao Yun. "If you need anything, just blow the whistle. I'll come over immediately. Let me remind you that there's no need to blow randomly." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Yun looked at the whistle in his hand. This whistle was made very meticulously. It looked like a stone, and there were some complicated patterns carved on it. It was very beautiful, and could be used as an ornament. Xiao Yun thought about it and hung the whistle on his belt.
Xiao Yun, who did not know the truth, naturally did not know that the pattern on the whistle was actually a formation. It was connected to the system. Once he blew the whistle, the system would notify him.
