46. ??Calamity (Part 2)

He Shan, male, 34 years old, first-class guard of the Imperial Capital Imperial Guard, Lu Hailan's personal bodyguard captain, unmarried.

"Your Highness, don't care. The captain is born with a face of Yan Wang. It is said that he can't get a girlfriend because of this, really."

In the hangar, Dewen, a guard wearing work clothes, attacked Lu Hailan and explained in a low voice. Since Lu Hailan rejected He Shan’s plan just now and proposed his own plan, although his guard leader did not insist on disobeying, his expression was really unsatisfactory, and his dissatisfaction was completely written on his face.

Dewen is the youngest of the three guards and is a brother to Dewu. In He Shan’s plan just now, he left the only chance of surviving the three. After Lu Hailan proposed his plan, he was the first to respond and took the initiative to ask for Lu Hailan to attack.

Although he also knew very well that Lu Hailan's plan was not as good as He Shan, and he was even a little whimsical, but when he was the option of living alone and dying with everyone, he would rather choose the latter.

Lu Hailan didn't say anything and continued his work silently.

It was his willfulness to go to Wei An, and he also paid the price for this willfulness. These people were dragged into the water by his willfulness, and now they have to accompany him to continue to save Flan willfully.

He has nothing to say.

He did not want anyone to die, but things would not be determined by his will. Just like those innocent people on Wei Anling 43, his hopes could not save anyone or himself.

"Your Highness, the disguised identity information has been entered into the system." Another guard, Dewu, walked out of the control room and came to Lu Hailan to whisper to report in a low voice, "The inspection instructions have also been entered into the location you designated, and you can set off at any time."

Lu Hailan commanded the robot arm to seal the roof of the maintenance vehicle, nodded after hearing this, and said, "I'm ready here too."

Dewen and Dewu looked at each other, the former opened their mouths, and the latter shook their heads. Lu Hailan took off his work gloves covered in oil, took out a cigarette from his chest pocket, stared at the small maintenance car that had been transformed in front of him, lowered his head to light the cigarette, and whispered: "I think I'm going crazy."

"Your Highness..."

"Since I know very well that I'm going crazy, it's useless for you to persuade me." Lu Hailan bit the cigarette and put his hands into his pockets as he was like a flange. However, no matter how much he studied, he could not imitate the casual and lazy temperament of Lai Flange, but instead he had an alternative sense of noble and decadent feeling.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little depressed.

Not long ago, he made a crazy decision and made a crazy plan. Now he is going to execute this crazy plan, which is undoubtedly completely crazy.

However, at this moment, he was very happy, from the bottom of his heart - which made him feel that he was not only a lunatic, but also a pervert.

Lu Hailan thought, so everything is the fault of the flange, and it is all the pot of the flange.

He controlled the corners of his lips that he wanted to raise up, took off the cigarette butt in his mouth and crushed it with his feet, then turned over and jumped into the driver's seat in the front of the maintenance car, and looked at Dewen and Dewu expressionlessly.

"Call He Shan out and set off."

……………………

The maintenance car was driving slowly in the in-ship passage.

There was almost no movement in the passage, and no one would pay attention to the maintenance car. Lu Hailan sat in the driver's seat, covering most of his face by the brim of the work hat. He occasionally opened his brain and looked at his position, but was actually reading the message from Dewen Dewu. His destination was not a key garage such as the engine room or the energy cabin, but a very ordinary position, just like the passage they are driving now.

He Shan didn't say a word since he left, and sat silently in the passenger seat, carefully observing the situation outside. When the maintenance car arrived at the first designated location, Lu Hailan stopped the car and started working. He Shan also pretended to be helping next to him. The two squatted very close, and their heads almost overlapped. He Shan inadvertently raised his head and saw Lu Hailan's face.

This was the first time he really looked at Lu Hailan so close. The reason for saying this is because in the past, he saw only a target object called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He had to protect. What kind of person is high or low, fat or thin... It is not important to him.

Unlike Dewen and Dewu, He Shan was an orphan. He was adopted by a special institution in the Imperial Guard since he was a child. He received various trainings and was trained to become a personal guard who was absolutely loyal to the empire, loyal to the royal family, and loyal to the master. However, he was also an alien in it. Unlike other children who also received brainwashing education, he had severely lacked emotional fluctuations since he was a child. He could complete the tasks excellently and execute the orders without hesitation. However, in the test of loyalty, his grades were never changed. The analysis results of Guangwang even believed that his inner emotions were completely consistent when he said, "I love the empire" and when he said, "I want to go to the toilet."

The "faulty" like him was able to successfully become a personal bodyguard and even become the captain of Lu Hailan's guards. It was entirely a coincidence and luck. Coincidentally, he happened to be in the palace to select a personal bodyguard for His Royal Highness the Prince. Lu Hailan happened to have an old eunuch Zhu Yan who didn't like to play according to common sense. The old eunuch had read his information and asked him a few questions, so he decided to let him serve as the captain of the guards.

The old eunuch asked him what would he do if His Royal Highness asked him to die? He replied that he would ask why and then decide whether to die.

The old eunuch asked him what would he do if His Royal Highness wanted to commit suicide? He replied that he would ask why and then decide whether to stop him.

The old eunuch finally asked him, what would he do if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused to tell him the reason for the first two questions?

He was silent for a moment and replied, "He will not die, and he will also prevent His Royal Highness from dying."

His Highness the Crown Prince insisted on saving Flan, which was similar to the first two questions Zhu Yan asked him at the beginning. His Highness the Crown Prince was not only seeking death himself, but also dragging them to die together. He Shan should have asked Lu Hailan why, as he answered Zhu Yan before, and then decided whether to obey the other party's orders.

But he didn't ask.

Three years ago, he escorted Lu Hailan away from the other palace to attend the funeral of Princess Bai. He drove in front and smelled the increasingly rich bloody smell in the carriage, and saw Lu Hailan's paler face. Lu Hailan stood in the snow and looked at Princess Bai's cemetery, while he was guarding the mountain road and looking at the other person. Although he could not empathize, he knew that it was called pain.

And today, after he said that he wanted to give up flange, he also saw the same pain in Lu Hailan.

He Shan quietly looked at Lu Hailan's face. Although he was pretending, the traces of tenderness could still be seen on his face. His Royal Highness was not fifteen years old and was just a child... But the other person's shoulders were already much more than most people in the world.

He didn't know what the emotion suddenly came to his heart. It was an unfamiliar thing for him to have emotions. If it were the old eunuch Zhu Yan here, he might tell him that this was called... pity.

……………………

Just as Lu Hailan was busy repairing the boat, Flan was drinking tea in the small living room next to the bridge.

The tea is the best black Ceylon tea, with mint and cinnamon, and a small bowl of ice cubes next to it. The old man sitting opposite him filled the ice cubes with half of the teacup, then put down the ice clip, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Flan stared at the countless thin reflectors in his cup, smiled bitterly and raised his head, "I appreciate the kindness you invited me to have tea, but this tea...forget it?"

"It is the custom of my hometown to entertain guests with the best tea." The old man put down the teacup, took out his handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed twice. His voice was very hoarse, and his throat seemed to have been seriously injured. "If the guest doesn't drink tea, it means he is dissatisfied with the host's entertainment. If this is the case, I can only treat you in another way."

Flan showed helpless eyes, shrugged, picked up the teacup and took a sip, closed his eyes and took a sip... Then he also began to cough, and the palms covering his mouth were covered with blood.

The two cups of tea are the same. The flange tea cup is filled with ice thorns, and the old man's tea cup is also filled with ice thorns.

Flan's throat was sore that his throat was scrambled by the tiny ice thorn. After a while, he finally had the strength to speak. His voice became hoarse: "Your hobby... is so unique."

"This is not a hobby." The old man was obviously used to such pain and said to Flan with a calm expression, "I just used this method to remind myself not to forget."

"I'm sorry." Flan spread his hands, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

The old man looked at him quietly, and after a while, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Farlan Winster, cough cough... the youngest gray-robed scholar in the Light Society in nearly a hundred years." The old man said, as if he had heard the funny thing in the world. He coughed in pain, showing an extremely sarcastic smile.

"You butcher, executioner." He smiled and pointed at the flange and shook his head, "Or I should call you..."
