Douluo's Long Night

Chapter 142
Not long after Dai Mubai went upstairs, David Qing also came out from the inner hall, ready to leave.

Dai Weiqing was expressionless, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, Dai Weiqing felt eyes falling on him from the living room, and exchanged a glance with Xu Junfang.

After Dai Weiqing found out that Xu Junfang was only a child about 10 years old, he stopped paying attention. He didn't go to the ballroom on the second floor like his elder brother Davis and younger brother Dai Mubai.

David Qing seemed not to want to stay here for too long.

Xu Junfang watched helplessly as David Qing walked out of the living room door with a few retainers and guards behind him, being swallowed by the darkness of the night.

Xu Junfang had nothing to do, so he sat down on the sofa in the waiting room and watched these strange nobles going up and down the stairs and coming in and out.

There were not many people waiting in Hou's living room, except for Xu Junfang, there were only seven or eight people.

Xu Shi waited for a long time, Xu Junfang sat on the sofa a little unbearably, Xu Junfang had already waited for a stick of incense, and Luo Yixue hadn't come back yet.

Xu Junfang propped up his legs, stood up from the sofa, and said to the four people behind him, "Come upstairs with me to have a look."

The four guards followed silently.

The stairs on the first floor and the second floor are on both sides of the waiting room, Xu Junfang walked up step by step along the side where Dai Mubai went up.

The second floor is different from what Xu Junfang imagined. He thought it was a so-called masked dance hall when he went upstairs, but in fact, it was a small floating half-floor without glass. Standing on the second floor, he could directly look down at the bright lights at night.

Xu Junfang who just came up did not see the ballroom, but saw a bleak figure from the back on the small rooftop.

Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai, who was only 10 years old, put his arms on the guardrail, overlooking the empty darkness, giving people a feeling of sadness and vicissitudes.

Xu Junfang stepped on the last step on the second floor, Dai Mubai realized that there was someone behind him, turned around to take a look, then turned his head back to continue looking at the night sky.

Xu Junfang didn't let go of this time of talking alone with Dai Mubai, after all Xu Junfang traveled through time, and had a special feeling for Dai Mubai, an important supporting role in the original work.

"Your Highness the Third Prince doesn't go to the masked ball, why are you feeling melancholy on this rooftop?" Xu Junfang didn't approach any further, and asked at a distance from Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai slowly turned around when he heard Xu Junfang's question.

They were silent for a while.

"I remember you, are you from the Luo family?" Dai Mubai asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, Luo Family," Dai Mubai laughed self-deprecatingly, "Are you here to pity me? That's unnecessary."

The reason why Dai Mubai said this was because the Luo family was not too close to Davis, and he saw the look of pity in Xu Junfang's eyes, which deeply stimulated him.

If it was ridicule or suppression, Dai Mubai would follow suit, but this kind of pity in his eyes made Dai Mubai feel extremely ashamed.

"It doesn't count, but if I were you, I wouldn't be sulking here."

"Don't worry about it!" Dai Mubai glared at Xu Junfang domineeringly, and then turned around to leave, the only peace he could enjoy was broken.

"Your Highness, since there is no hope in your heart, why don't you indulge yourself?" Xu Junfang didn't mean to stop Dai Mubai, but he believed that Dai Mubai would want to hear what he said next.

Sure enough, Dai Mubai who was about to leave stopped, without turning his head: "What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, since you can't compete, why don't you take advantage of your golden age to indulge and enjoy the life you want? In the first half of your life, it doesn't matter what happens in the second half of your life."

"If this life is spent in misery even when you can enjoy your own life, isn't this life too suffocating?" Xu Junfang's face was full of smiles, "You think so? Your Highness..."

"........."

Dai Mubai remained silent on the spot for a while, and left without looking back.

Xu Junfang looked at Dai Mubai's disappearing back with a smile. He often inquired about gossip and news among the nobles at the dinner party. What surprised him a little was that Dai Mubai didn't have the nickname of a playboy, nor did he miss it day and night. Information from inappropriate places.

This is somewhat different from what Xu Junfang knew about Dai Mubai, Xu Junfang reckoned that Dai Mubai hadn't completely lost hope for the future, hadn't fallen.

Xu Junfang's advice to Dai Mubai was just random, he just thought it was interesting, he gave Dai Mubai the direction in advance, I don't know if it will cause any waves.

Dai Mubai didn't care about leaving Xu Junfang, he started to wander around the second floor, although he didn't plan to attend the dance, but he wanted to see what the dance was like.

In his previous life, he was born in a difficult life, but he has never seen such a grand noble ball.

................................................

The woods to the south of the Star Luo Royal Hotel.

The faint moonlight shines through the dry branches, leaving ferocious fangs on the dark soil. The thick shadows of the branches are like a big black net all over the forest, engulfing all the creatures that break into it.

tap!tap!tap!

There was the sound of disobedient horseshoes in the silent woods, and the broken dead leaves on the ground swayed chaotically with the vibration of the ground.

Snapped!
The black whip waved against the moonlight and lashed at the running horse.

The roaring carriage passed through the woods covered with dead leaves on the ground, and two horses with helmets attached to them pulled a black carriage through the forest.

David sat silently in the carriage, propped his face with his right fist, stared at the moon through the window of the carriage with blank eyes.

He was thinking, thinking about the conspiracy behind his extraordinary behavior at today's dinner.

The royal family is indeed cruel, even if he is not selected as a prince competing for the throne, his situation in the palace is still not very good.

Davis's suppression of him gradually transitioned to Dai Mubai, but this is also the saddest thing, after losing the qualification to compete for the throne, he didn't even have the right to speak in the palace.

Davis, who had been wary of him in the past, didn't bother to talk to him at this time.

The more David Qing thought about it, the more his anger surged up, and his nails sank deeply into the palm of his hand.

But even though he was so angry, he didn't have the urge to make a big fuss at the banquet at this time, he was always more rational.

And at the dinner just now, although he was sitting opposite Davis trying to suppress the dark fire in his chest, the flames of depression and anger seemed to be out of his control.

Then he lost his composure.

David Qing didn't have to doubt it, he knew that he must have been drugged, and he had been given drugs similar to urgency or veritaserum.

After he made a fuss, his brain gradually came to his senses, and he realized with horror that he had actually done such a thing at a noble banquet.

At the banquet, he pretended to be watching a play, but he was actually thinking and observing.

Think about who gave him the drug, and who will benefit from it; observe who casts his gaze at him frequently, and who will pay attention to his reaction at this time.

At first, he suspected that Davis did it. Davis has always liked to use dirty tricks. He thought this was another blow from Davis to him.

But he thought about it himself and felt that something was wrong. Davis is a very rational person. It is impossible for him to drug himself at the dinner party in order to suppress himself, let alone doing so would be detrimental to Davis himself.

He could feel that Davis' anger towards him at that time was real, not feigned, and Davis really didn't seem to know the truth.

Who else could have given the drug?
Third brother Dai Mubai?No, he is not such a person, and he has to rely on me, let alone do such a thing.

David Qing began to think about who he had made enemies with recently, or what would attract other people's attention.

Spirit Hall!
When Dai Weiqing thought of this, he broke into a cold sweat. He is indeed feared by the Wuhundian now, because he recently caught a Wuhundian spy hiding inside the palace by chance.

This spy hides very deeply, but time is of the essence. He was caught by David Qing in the process of exchanging information with Wuhundian online.

As soon as Wuhundian, who had handed over to this Anzi, went online, Dai Weiqing restrained the spy on the spot.

David Qing thought he had discovered a big secret, that the Wuhun Palace had spies inside the palace, which meant that the Wuhun Palace might have bad plans and intentions for the Star Luo Empire.

He has discovered a spy, who knows how many spies there are in the dark?

He originally planned to torture this Wuhundian Anzi to extract confessions from Wuhundian's other spies in the Star Luo Empire, so that with such important information, he could reverse the decline in the face of Davis.

As a result, before the torture started, the spy of Wuhundian was very stubborn and committed suicide directly.

The clues were broken, and even the only evidence in his hand was gone. If David Qing insisted that he was a Wuhundian spy, no one would believe him. This spy was very clean, leaving no doubts that could be used.

Moreover, Wuhundian never contacted the spy again after that, as if he, David Qing, had arrested the wrong person. He knew that Wuhundian couldn't let it go, this kind of threat lurking in the dark was too uncomfortable.

In the end, David Qing just got a corpse and got into trouble.

At the dinner party, David Qing thought of this, and he began to panic. He didn't think that drugging him to make him make a fool of himself would benefit the people behind the scenes.

Although it is not entirely certain that it is Wuhundian who administered the medicine, Wuhundian does have a high chance.

David looked around for a long time, but there were quite a few people whose eyes fell on him, and they were all nobles who wanted to see why he lost his composure.

He didn't observe anything, and he couldn't even guess who might have drugged him. David Qing didn't know what he ate or drank to be drugged.

The prince and princess had separate meals at the engagement dinner, so every dish and wine was suspect.

Faced with this situation, David Qing had no clue, sitting on pins and needles in his seat at the banquet.

David Qing was afraid that if he stayed at the dinner for a long time, some conspiracy would be blamed on him, so he left in a hurry as soon as the dinner was over.

Only by returning to his own palace and being guarded by many guards in the palace can he feel a little bit safe.

David Qing regained consciousness from his thoughts, staring blankly at the night scene speeding outside the carriage and the only motionless crescent moon.

Hurry up and go back to the palace, and don't have any accidents on the way, Davis secretly prayed.

The carriage drove another distance, and Davis frowned vigilantly.

He poked his head out of the carriage window, and his whole body was bathed in the moonlight.

when?When did all the sounds from the soul beasts disappear at night?
The crescent moon in the sky looked very peaceful, and the woods around the carriage were eerily quiet, and there was only the sound of the evening wind blowing the leaves when you savored it carefully.

David's heart trembled for no reason, what will happen in the middle of the night?
night, moon, woods,

really quiet...
