Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Lu Yu didn't care about what was in his mind. He found an excuse to send Chen Xi away, then took the jade pendant to the window to examine it carefully.

It was indeed the piece that he had lost. Even the small dent on the back was in the same position.

Who took away my jade pendant?

Since he took it away, why is he sending it back now?

Is he trying to tell me that the autumn hunt was not the best time to reveal my identity, but now is the best time?

Who is this person?

Why should he help himself?

He stood in front of the window and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he had to carefully put the jade pendant away.

When Chen Xi came out of Lu Yu's yard, he happened to meet Zhou Yan. The two stood there looking at each other, and saw a hint of hostility in each other's eyes.

"Guard Zhou, where are you going? Are you looking for General Lu?"

In the end, it was Chen Xi who broke the deadlock first and walked up to Zhou Yan with a smile.

Zhou Yan glanced at him coldly and said softly, "If you want to climb up, you'd better use some legitimate means. Sending women is not a long-term solution. People get tired of the old and love the new. The Fifth Prince is of noble status, so he will definitely not be obsessed with one person for too long!"

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, smiling unchanged, and humbly accepted Zhou Yan's advice, "Okay, I'll remember Guard Zhou's advice. I have something else to do, so I won't waste Guard Zhou's time."

He nodded to Zhou Yan, walked around him and left quickly.

Watching Chen Xi leaving, Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He felt that this person had evil intentions and should be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, Chen Xi is now in a good position to gain face in front of the Fifth Prince, so he cannot move for the time being.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and went to find Lu Yu.

Lu Yu had just hidden the jade pendant in a small box in the dark corner at the head of the bed when there was a knock on the door. He quickly made the bed and after finding no flaws, he went to open the door.

Seeing Zhou Yan standing outside the door, he was surprised, "Guard Zhou? Please come in!"

He had always wanted to win over Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. After hitting a snag a few times, he gave up. He didn't expect that this man would come to him on his own initiative today.

"Is there anything Guard Zhou wants to do?"

After the two sat down, Lu Yu poured Zhou Yan a glass of water and looked at him puzzledly.

"I went out today and found a few people wandering around on the street. From what I observed secretly, I found that they were all martial artists, so I came to remind General Lu that it would be best to increase the alert in the mansion recently."

"really?"

This is a big deal,

Although Lu Yu also wanted Mu Bai to die, after all, if one person died, there would be one less person competing with him for the throne, which would be beneficial to his future ascension to the throne.

But he doesn't have the final say in this yard. In order to avoid giving others a chance to talk, he has to do his best to protect Mu Bo.

Seeing Zhou Yan nod, Mu Bo quickly bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for telling me. I will send more people to patrol and guard. When this is over, I will treat Brother Zhou to a drink!"

"Okay, we are all for His Highness!"

After finishing this matter, Zhou Yan did not stay with Lu Yu for long, but returned to his room.

He sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking about. He reached out and touched the cold mask on his face, with a murderous look flashing in his eyes.

With Zhou Yan's reminder, Lu Yu doubled the manpower for the defense of the entire mansion, but from the outside, it still looked the same as before, tight inside and loose outside.

Two days passed like this. On the third night, several masked men suddenly jumped in from outside the courtyard wall and rushed towards the yard where Mu Bo was.

Fortunately, the guards in the yard were prepared and quickly stopped the people. However, there were two people on the opposite side who were good at spreading poison powder. One on the left and one on the right, they would spread poison powder as soon as they saw the situation was critical, and poisoned many people.

Lu Yu and his men were shocked when they saw what was happening and retreated in a hurry. They only dared to trap the people outside and did not dare to move forward.

Mu Bo was enjoying himself with his twin sisters in his arms. He was furious when his good time was interrupted. He came out and pointed at the surrounded men in black and shouted, "Send the archers to me, and shoot them all here!"

The two who knew how to spread poison powder looked at each other, waved to their own people, and before the archers came over, they threw a few smoke bombs and ran away.

Although the assassination attempt failed, it caused many casualties around Mu Bai. Mu Bai looked at the guards lying on the ground wailing in pain, his face turned pale, and he kicked Lu Yu beside him.

"How the hell do you do things? The assassin is about to poison me. I think you don't want to be a general anymore!"

Lu Yu was kicked so hard that he almost couldn't breathe, but he still had to carefully apologize to Mu Bo.

"I have failed to do my job well, Your Highness, please punish me!"

He knelt with his head lowered, asking for forgiveness, his hands clenched into fists and raised above his forehead. He looked very submissive, but only he knew how unwilling he was in his heart.

They were both sons of the emperor, so why was Mu Bo so arrogant and domineering? And I could only be reduced to guarding the door for him, and I would be beaten and scolded just because he was in a bad mood.

At this moment, the four words "fate is unfair" flashed through Lu Yu's mind, making his resentment even greater.

"Your Highness, General Lu was actually fully prepared. Who would have thought that the assassin would use poison? Fortunately, Your Highness was not hurt. It's too bloody outside. You should go back quickly!"

Chen Xi came out at the right time to rescue Lu Yu, and helped Mu Bai into the house. When closing the door, he winked at Lu Yu who was looking over.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, accepting the favor.

Little did he know that the person he regarded as a friend at that moment would push him into an abyss from which there was no escape in the future.

After closing the door, he shut out the messy scene outside. A sneer flashed across Chen Xi's eyes, and he turned around to serve Mu Bo a drink.

The twins didn't feel uncomfortable seeing Chen Xi come in. They hugged Mu Bo on the left and right, serving him wine. They smiled sweetly and looked charming with their beautiful eyes.

Chen Xi took the wine jug and filled Mu Bo's cup again. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, General Huang died heroically. If you return to Kyoto in the future, our northwest cannot be left unattended. How about you choose a great general to lead us to continue guarding the border!"

Mu Bo glanced at Chen Xi, smiled and drank the wine in his glass, and asked: "Who do you think is suitable to sit in this position?"

Although he has been obsessed with beauty recently, his previous sharp intuition is still there. He thinks that Chen Xi must have received benefits from someone and wants to lobby for him.

He guessed that it was most likely Chen Xi's immediate superior, General Chen. After all, if General Chen became the top leader in the Northwest, it would bring many benefits to Chen Xi.

But who knew that Chen Xi actually mentioned Zhao Qi's name, which made him raise his eyebrows in surprise.
