Chapter 638 The Crown Prince Returns to Yundu, the Prince Visits
After killing the village chief and his son that day, they left the village early in the morning.

Chu Danqing had no idea what happened next; he just kept heading towards Yundu.

On the way, we encountered several groups of petty thieves who didn't know any better.

Da Bao didn't even need to lift a finger; Bai Hanzhe was killed with just a few shots.

“This road is far from safe,” Bai Hanzhe said, with a hint of complaint. “What’s wrong with this world?”

Chu Danqing knew that it simply meant he couldn't survive.

Otherwise, how many more people would choose to become outlaws?

Most of them are forced to live because they can't survive; only a small number of people who are inherently bad choose to engage in robbery and plunder.

Before Chu Danqing could speak, a rumbling sound came from not far away.

From a distance, it looked like a convoy of cars, with a flag bearing the character "Liang" on it.

"King Liang?" Bai Hanzhe looked puzzled. "That's strange. Why isn't King Liang in Yundu? Why is he here instead?"

The Lan Dynasty had kings of different surnames, but they did not have fiefdoms.

Furthermore, all the kings of different surnames and their families and descendants were in Yundu, and they were not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict.

Despite his immense power, he was more like a pig being raised on a leash.

Without a fiefdom, without military power, and without the right to serve as an official in the imperial court.

He could only be a wealthy prince.

The origins of kings of different surnames are quite simple; they are descended from the meritorious ministers who followed the emperor in the founding of the dynasty.

However, apart from lacking real power, it is indeed very good in other aspects, both in terms of pomp and status.

Chu Danqing and Da Bao made way for the convoy.

To take action? There's no conflict of interest between the two sides, and Chu Danqing isn't the kind of person who's so stubborn as to think that backing down is an insult.

There's a wide road to the sky; everyone can walk on it.

After the convoy had driven far away, Chu Danqing asked, "Do you know them?"

“I don’t recognize him, but I think the person sitting inside should be the Prince of Liang,” Bai Hanzhe said. “I heard that this prince has obtained a golden sword, a divine weapon.”

"Its blade is ornate and luxurious; I've heard it's a top-tier divine weapon."

"I don't know what abilities they have, but it is said that Wu Xiucai and Wu Juren, who won the top score in the imperial examination and the top score in the provincial examination, are not to be underestimated."

"It's a pity I didn't get to meet him; it's a real shame." Bai Hanzhe, however, held this Prince Liang in high regard.

Despite what he said, Chu Danqing found it rather strange.

The prince of Liang sitting in the carriage gave him the impression of being all show and no substance.

Is it just a pretty facade?
However, since Bai Hanzhe said that, and he was able to achieve such good results in the martial arts examination, he might just be feigning weakness.

It couldn't possibly be the King of Liang, a king of a different surname, who committed the cheating in the imperial examinations.

Chu Danqing didn't think much of it. This Prince Liang had little to do with Chu Danqing, and he wasn't participating in the imperial examination.

“Perfect timing, you can compete with this Prince Liang in the imperial examination.”

"Let's see if your precious spear is stronger or his golden sword is sharper," Chu Danqing said with a smile.

"Brother Chu understands me best; that's exactly what I was thinking." Bai Hanzhe replied, "If it were before, I really wouldn't have dared to confront the Commander of the Army head-on."

"It's only half a day's walk to Yundu. Brother Chu, let's hurry up so we don't miss the curfew and can't get into the city."

They were already very close to the clouds.

Chu Danqing felt it was a bit too fast, having already triggered two missions along the way.

Ever since Bai Hanzhe obtained the Chizha Spear, not only have there been no quests, but he has also managed to defeat all the monsters.

Fortunately, the thieves were all petty criminals, otherwise Chu Danqing would have suffered a huge loss.

The two sped up and soon arrived in Yundu.

They were not unregistered residents, so entering the city was simple and they did not encounter any difficulties.

They then found an inn to stay in, and Bai Hanzhe went to report for duty after settling in.

The process went very smoothly without any major issues.

However, by the time Bai Hanzhe returned to the inn, it was already dark.

"Brother Chu, you don't know, after Bai Hanzhe returned, he talked non-stop to Chu Danqing about what he had seen and heard in Yundu."

Just then, they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Bai Hanzhe asked instinctively.

"Young Wang Pan Li has come to pay a special visit to Scholar Bai Hanzhe." A gentle voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hanzhe's expression changed slightly, and he quickly got up and straightened his clothes.

Chu Danqing, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.

Bai Hanzhe immediately went to open the door, then bowed and said, "Your humble servant Bai Hanzhe greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

Pan Li, who was referred to as the Ninth Prince, hurriedly helped Bai Hanzhe up: "Scholar Bai, this is too much of a courtesy. I am visiting you privately, and there is no distinction between ruler and subject."

"Won't you invite me, Scholar Bai, in for a seat?" Pan Li said with a smile.

"Your Highness, please." Bai Hanzhe invited Pan Li in and closed the door behind him.

When Pan Li entered, he was surprised to find that there were still people in the room.

After looking Chu Danqing up and down, he felt that this person was extraordinary.

He came here to recruit Bai Hanzhe, a commoner who became a military commander, but he never expected to have such a pleasant surprise.

Then he noticed a burly man standing to the side. Although he was a bit ugly, he was clearly a warrior. "Your Highness, Ninth Prince," Chu Danqing said, rising and bowing respectfully as the man looked at him.

He had little respect for imperial power, so naturally he wouldn't have the same attitude as Bai Hanzhe.

Bai Hanzhe is still too young and has not been a military commander for long, otherwise he wouldn't have this mentality.

Chu Danqing could guess the purpose of this Ninth Prince of Lan Dynasty's visit.

"To be able to associate with Scholar Bai, you two must be no ordinary people. May I ask your honorable surname?" Pan Lilai thought, "Since I'm already here, I might as well pack everything up and take it all back with me."

Chu Danqing introduced himself and then realized what the man was thinking.

He understands and respects the other party, but has no intention of associating with them.

His fundamental skill of leadership expertise gave him a deeper understanding of people.

The other party wasn't looking to make friends or find help; they were looking for a tool.

Don't be fooled by their warm and courteous demeanor; it's mainly because they are valuable.

If Bai Hanzhe weren't the commander of the troops, Pan Li probably wouldn't even give him a second glance.

"Since His Highness has something to discuss with Brother Bai, then I won't disturb you two any longer," Chu Danqing said, getting up to leave.

He also gave Bai Hanzhe a wink, telling him to be careful and not to blurt out everything.

However, Bai Hanzhe completely ignored his expression and said he would try to persuade him later.

If you can't persuade them, then don't try anymore.

Chu Danqing still remembered Yang Qianyuan reminding him to respect other people's choices.

He had been wondering about it before, but now he realizes that's where the answer lies.

About two hours later, Bai Hanzhe excitedly ran over and knocked on Chu Danqing's door.

"Brother Chu, this is great news, really great news!" Bai Hanzhe shouted from outside the door.

Da Bao went to open the door, while Chu Danqing finished her cultivation.

"What good news is it that makes you so eager to get started?" Chu Danqing asked.

"I became a retainer of the Ninth Prince. He invited me to be his guest and supported my participation in the imperial examinations. Even if I don't pass, I can still get the position of commander," Bai Hanzhe said excitedly.

After saying that, he added, "His Highness also asked me to invite Brother Chu and Da Bao, and perhaps offer them the position of retainers. However, I cannot accept on your behalf, so I have to decline for now."

"Come with me to your residence tomorrow, at that time..."

Although Bai Hanzhe was excited, he didn't let it cloud his judgment and immediately agree on Chu Danqing's behalf.

However, he felt that Chu Danqing would definitely agree, so he thought they would go to the mansion together tomorrow.

However, Chu Danqing interrupted him, saying, "Brother Bai, I won't be going tomorrow."

"Let me give you some advice: this Ninth Prince is no good man. You won't have a good ending if you follow him."

Bai Hanzhe can be described as an idiot in politics.

If you ask what the best way to develop is, of course, to pass the imperial examination for military officers and then go home to become a wealthy landowner.

Never get involved in court affairs, or you'll die a horrible death.

Judging from his appearance, he was clearly completely fooled by the Ninth Prince.

Hearing Chu Danqing speak like that, Bai Hanzhe was clearly displeased and immediately said, "I have cultivated this martial art for the sake of wealth and glory."

"Now that His Highness the Ninth Prince values ​​me and is so courteous to recruit me, how can I possibly fail to repay his kindness and recognition?"

"It was all for nothing that I spoke so many good words for you in front of the Ninth Prince, hoping to invite you to share wealth and honor with me."

Chu Danqing's eye twitched, and in the end, he could only sigh: "I'm used to being a free spirit, so Your Highness can only have the wrong affection for me."

"Since you've made up your mind, there's not much I can say."

He did not continue to argue with Bai Hanzhe, respecting her choice.

The other party's attitude has already indicated the whole outcome.

Upon hearing Chu Danqing's words, Bai Hanzhe's expression softened.

"It was my oversight that I didn't consider that you, Brother Chu, would be unwilling to get involved in the court." Bai Hanzhe thought about it carefully and then imposed his own thoughts on Chu Danqing, assuming that the other party would have the same idea as him.

"By the way, Brother Chu, you must come for the upcoming exams. It'll be quite a spectacle."

"It's a good opportunity for Brother Chu to witness the glory of my spear winning the championship." Bai Hanzhe didn't want these matters to affect the friendship between them, which is why he made the invitation.

"Don't worry, Brother Bai, I will be there on time," Chu Danqing said immediately.

He'll definitely go; otherwise, he'll just be idling around anyway, and maybe he can get a suitable divine weapon.

As for Lin'an Menghuaxi, there's no rush; Yang Qianyuan has already made arrangements.

Getting it into my hands is basically not a problem.

Chu Danqing had no idea about the old monster hidden in Yundu.

He's only been in Yundu for less than half a day, how could he possibly have noticed?

"Brother Chu, please don't take my previous words to heart. It was a slip of the tongue on my part. Please forgive me," Bai Hanzhe added.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "How could I be such a narrow-minded person?"

He didn't take it to heart at all, because he had no intention of paying attention to what would happen to Bai Hanzhe afterward.

If he won't listen to advice, I can't just take action directly, or Bai Hanzhe might think I've ruined his future prospects.

If the other party doesn't want this kindness, Chu Danqing can't possibly be a victim and consider things for them.
