Chapter 201 The Man in the Cage
Chapter 201 The Man in the Cage
It wasn't until someone stepped forward to respectfully invite him that he suddenly understood what had happened.
The focus of everyone's attention was on him, and Bai Tan felt that he was about to be burned by these scorching gazes.
Standing up in trepidation, his hands and feet were stiff and he didn't know where to put them. He walked in a strange posture, and his eyes fell on Wen Renjue with blank eyes.
This man who dominates the world is still sitting in the upper position, with his head slightly lowered, and his gaze seems to be on himself.Bai Tan stared wide-eyed, trying to see something from the man's face, but unfortunately blocked by that silver mask, Wen Ren Jue's dark pupils only made him more terrified.
Walking forward anxiously, all the people he brought stayed in their places.
In Bai Tan's eyes, there was only the old man who was waiting for him to approach, and all the sounds in his ears seemed to be far away from him. He stared with bated breath, facing Hei Hu's deep gaze, he stepped on the first step.
Because of Wen Ren Jue's sudden utterance and Bai Tan's presence on the stage, the representative of the [-]th district who was about to leave the table to speak, that elderly man with a very elegant appearance, stopped and waited quietly.
His politeness attracted the attention of many family patriarchs in the hall, but more people still kept a close eye on the young man who was walking towards the throne step by step.
Many people recognized that this young man with excellent appearance and temperament was the one who just played the piano and shocked many people.
Bai Tan was supposed to be valiant and high-spirited, so he showed his aura.
But I don't know when, the fear of Wenren Jue has already been integrated into his blood, which makes him weak when he doesn't know the purpose of Wenren Jue.
Without the complicated thoughts and emotions like beating drums in his heart, Wen Renjue, who was sitting on the throne, still seemed to stay on Zhan He.
Bai Tan's walking posture using both hands and feet, in the past, would definitely make him raise the corners of his lips to cheer him up.
But tonight, Wenren Jue felt a little heavy in his heart.
After walking the five steps absent-mindedly, Bai Tan felt that holes had been pierced through his back by those gazes.
The throne is very big, enough to sit three Wen Ren Jue, but Bai Tan still doesn't have the guts to sit on it, after all, no matter how honorable his status is, he is only a small male follower.
This kind of identity is not qualified to be contaminated with a little symbol of royal power.
Except, the man who himself represents the kingship.
When he just walked up, he met the scrutinizing eyes of several ministers along the way, Bai Tan almost slipped and rolled down the steps.
In his opinion, the suppressed voices of discussion and inquiries behind him, and those visiting gazes full of various meanings, were not as good as the ruthless scrutiny of these powerful men on the steps when they looked down from a high place. tough.
Wen Renjue, the co-owner of the three districts can't keep a low profile on a daily basis. Even the dignitaries in the seventeenth district may not know that he has a male follower. Only those in the family who serve in the royal organization can generally hear about it. one two.
Bai Tan was invited up on such an occasion as tonight, and those who knew a certain amount of inside information no longer concealed it. They sat close to each other, and whispered to each other if they had a good relationship, so before Bai Tan stepped onto the throne, everyone in the hall knew his identity.
Since it was impossible to sit on the throne together, the clever waiter spread a blanket beside the throne, Bai Tan respectfully saluted Wen Ren Jue, and then sat obediently on the blanket.
Waiting awkwardly for a while, but seeing no sound coming from beside him, Bai Tan turned his head and glanced at him strangely, and then he saw people looking around below, as if he had no extra thought about his approach.
"Did I do something wrong?" Chu Chu frowned pitifully, showing weakness without self-esteem.
Wen Renjue heard the voice, looked at him sideways, and suddenly stretched out his hand, pinching Bai Tan's chin with the middle finger and thumb of his right hand and lifted it towards him, and moved his upper body closer.
Everyone in the hall held their breath for a moment, the aura on Wang's body was very gentle now.
The action was strong but gentle, and everyone felt in a trance at this moment that the man on the throne would bend down and kiss the boy like that.
Bai Tan was dumbfounded, his first reaction was to struggle, a magnified face suddenly approached him, although he didn't know what Wen Ren Jue wanted to do, but he sensed the danger from it.
Wen Renjue saw the unobstructed panic in the pupils of the people, but slowed down his movements even more, in a wicked way, he brushed his lips against Bai Tan's cheek, and coaxed softly: "Be quiet, sit down calmly."
Blinking his big eyes, Bai Tan didn't dare to move, but with his head raised high, his eyes were full of ignorance and fragility.
Bai Tan was very disturbed, he didn't know what Wen Ren Jue was going to do.
The hand on the chin was pinched with little force, but he still felt a little pain.
Facing the eyes of Wangwen Renjue at close range, he was in a trance.
The kiss that everyone was looking forward to did not happen, but everyone in the hall still refused to look away, because Wen Renjue also stretched out his other hand, rubbing his middle finger against Bai Tan's face from the corner of his brow to his lips, and the two intertwined bodies , can let them see what the king is whispering in people's ears, but they can't hear clearly.
Because of Wen Renjue's hand slowly stroking Bai Yan's face, the people below couldn't see Bai Tan's terrified expression.
"Be obedient, if this still doesn't dispel his interest, this face of yours..." Wen Renjue smiled, pressed his middle finger on Bai Tan's cheek, and said calmly, "I can't keep it."
As early as when he wanted to get in touch with the royal power of the thirteenth district, Wenren Jue turned into Shuyi's entourage and saw Zhan He from afar. At that time, everyone's attention was on Zhan Pei, the host at the dinner party, but he was the only one who loved Zhan He. Take heart.
He already knew from the information that Wang Zhanpei in District 15 had a younger brother who had the same father and mother, but the age difference was about [-] years. At that dinner party, there were five boys in tulle holding classical musical instruments Appeared, one of them was exceptionally good-looking, playing the harp on the floor, Zhan He's fascinated expression at that time, Wen Ren Jue could see all of them.
Everyone has weaknesses, and so does the king's district.
If you can't compete head-on, you should find the key points of the king's district, find the weakness of human nature in the key points of the king's district, and then use this weakness to infinitely magnify it.
Before the emergence of crystal nucleus energy, the alternation of royal power was very fast. After all, everyone's lifespan was limited. After the emergence of the crystal nucleus system, all the established alternations disappeared, and the life span increased from the upper limit of fifty. How can a person be willing to let go.
And what kind of loss and unwillingness will those who are waiting to take over the kingship feel in their hearts?
Zhan Pei had already started to cultivate Zhan He. If it wasn't for the re-split of the Nine Realms Monument and the emergence of the crystal nucleus energy system, maybe the person sitting on the throne now would be Zhan He.
Although judging from the information collected from the intelligence, Zhan He did not show much after he failed to take over the royal power smoothly, but this has something to do with Zhan Pei's strength.
Even if Zhan He can really think about it, Wen Ren Jue will not give up this loophole and exploitable point. Many people have deep darkness in their hearts. As long as they can be properly catalyzed, the explosion will be unexpected.
The only surprise... pinching the flesh on Bai Tan's cheek fondly, Wen Renjue just discovered that Bai Tan not only has beautiful eyes, but also has a good touch.
Although he had restraint, his thoughts drifted away for a while, and his subordinates couldn't control him so much. Bai Tan kept humming in a low voice after being pinched by him, but he didn't dare to move.
Because the aura of the man above his head became more and more sinister, frightening.
Bai Tan has always wanted to see the face behind Wen Ren Jue's mask, but at this time, he realized that it's good for this person to wear a mask, otherwise he would be frightening to death.
Can't keep this face?What's the meaning?Bai Tan didn't want to get to the bottom of it, he knew that what Wen Ren Jue said must be true, no cruel and cold-blooded words from this man would surprise him.
"It hurts." Wen Renjue had nails on his hands, and Bai Tan could bear it at first, but when the nails were embedded in the flesh, tears filled his eyes.
The grievance and pity this time is not pretending, but painful.
If he hadn't noticed that Wen Ren Jue's eyes were really dark, Bai Tan would have slapped him long ago.
Hearing people's secrets is not happy.
The plan is all in the making, but Bai Tan may be the accident. As early as a few days ago, when people were nagging about going to the dinner party, he agreed casually.
Bai Tan's appearance is very outstanding, but there are too many people in this world who have better appearance than him.
This time he asked Yan Zhen to find and train the boys who were not inferior to Bai Tan in appearance.
So nothing to worry about.
He thought so.
But, Bai Tan can surprise him.
Playing a few piano pieces immediately became the center of attention of many people.
Including Zhan He, the king's younger brother, he has a lot of people in daily contact with and support, but he is still attracted by Bai Tan.
It is different from the simple and weak that leads to destruction.
The purity of Bai Tan's body, especially the aura when he is playing the piano without speaking, can miraculously calm down people like them who are immersed in power calculations all day long.
"Does it hurt?" After regaining consciousness, Wen Ren Jue realized that he had struck hard.
On Ren Ruyu's cheek, he had pinched a red and swollen patch.
Bai Tan sat cross-legged, looked up at him, and replied three words in a heavy voice with tears in his eyes: "It hurts a lot!"
"Sorry." Withdrawing his hand, Wen Renjue really showed a bit of apology on his face.
With tears in his eyes, Bai Tan gritted his teeth word by word, "I don't accept it!"
Wen Renjue turned his head in silence, the representatives of the [-]th District below had already attended, and ordered people to carry a lot of gifts.
Although the goal tonight is Zhanhe, Wenrenjue is actually more curious about the reason for the visit of the [-]th district. Why would this king's district, which has no contact or communication with him at all, send someone to congratulate him on his birthday?
Most of the gifts presented are exquisite, which shows the owner's intentions in preparing them.
Wen Renjue's eyes swept over the several confidantes standing on the steps, including the girl Hong Yu, all of them stared intently at the gifts and thought about the other party's intentions.
Wei Duan also couldn't figure it out, and asked curiously in his mind: "Master, do you know the intention of the nineteenth district?"
With his hands folded in front of his chest, Wen Renjue straightened his sitting posture and did not respond.
That old and steady man waited for all the presents to be brought up before he said that there was one last thing, which was also the highlight of the [-]th district's visit, but he was still preparing, and asked Wen Renjue to wait.
Such a appearance aroused the curiosity of everyone in the hall.
Including Bai Tan who was pinched, touched his face, suppressed the tears that flowed out instinctively because of the pain, and half leaned forward to look down.
Compared with where he was sitting before, the steps where the throne was located allowed him to observe the entire hall more clearly.
After this scan, he realized that Wen Renjue could see where he was sitting so clearly when he was sitting before.
Unfortunately, he thought that if he was more careful, he wouldn't be noticed.
Because there was a short waiting time, several waiters carried up the wooden table and placed it in front of the throne, but there was no one in front of Bai Tan, and he was still sitting on a blanket on the floor, so he didn't really want to eat.
Before going out, including on the way just out, he was still eating fruit when he was in the car.
Not hungry right now.
Wenrenjue deliberately called people to his side. Although Zhanhe was interested in Baitan, but not much, Wenrenjue hoped that the other party would automatically eliminate this concern after knowing Baitan's special identity.
If not... Will Bai Tan be pushed out to achieve the goal?Wen Renjue thought about it, and he didn't need to think for too long before he understood that the existence of the key was more important than the short-term purpose, but even if he didn't push Bai Tan out, he couldn't ruin his calculation because of him.
If it doesn't work, the only way to destroy Bai Tan's face on the spot, Zhan He won't be persistent anymore.
After pouring a glass of wine, he took it and handed it to the person beside him.
Bai Tan sat obediently, flattered by the wine he brought to him, stayed there for a while, heard Wen Renjue's soft tut of impatience, and hurriedly took it.
Wenren Jue turned around again.
Although the two have no more intimate actions, it is these few small actions that have attracted many people's hearts.
Bai Tan held the wine glass but didn't drink it.
The representatives of the [-]th district below smiled and asked if they could open all the windows in the banquet hall.
Wen Renjue nodded in agreement.
The lights in the hall were dimmed later, and from the entrance of the hall, more than a dozen men came in pushing shelves.
Due to the sudden dimming of the lights, it was impossible for everyone to see clearly.
When the pedestrian came to the center, the lights flickered back on. Including Bai Tan, several ministers on the steps and several dignitaries from the royal district in the hall were all stunned.
The big men were pushing a wooden cart more than ten square meters in their hands, and a white birdcage four to five meters high and two to three meters wide was placed on it.
In the unusually exquisite birdcage, it is not a bird that is shut up.
It was a lively young man in a bird feather coat, revealing icy muscles and fine bones.
