Chapter 307 Do You Have a Heart?

Song Yanxi's heart tightened and she almost pulled out her dagger and stabbed him.

The next moment, she suddenly thought of something.

The aura is so strong, it doesn't seem like a human, but more like...

Song Yanxi stretched out her hand tentatively and sure enough, she touched a furry horse face.

As if to comfort her, Xuelong rubbed her head, and the stirrups swayed gently, making a sound of iron clashing.

It seemed to be frightened as well, and without waiting for Song Yanxi to stop it, it stood there and dared not move.

In the dark, human hearing is even more sensitive.

A few rough curses were carried into the cave by the mountain wind.

"Damn it! These officials are so arrogant that they let our brothers go into the mountains in the dark in such cold weather."

"If you lack the virtue, you won't be afraid of not doing good deeds. Your wife will run away with someone else."

"You guys better stop talking. I heard the guy at the top came over personally and gave the order. He said even if we can't find anything, we have to turn over all the grass on the mountain."

"Is it true? He didn't stay in the capital to live a life of luxury, but came here to suffer this?"

Could the person in the capital they were talking about be Prince Liang?

Song Yanxi didn't know much about this person, only heard a few words from others.

I heard that he has a bad temper and is extremely suspicious, and his methods are so cruel that they are appalling.

Both of his former crown princesses committed suicide within six months of their marriage because they could not stand his brutal temper.

Throughout the dynasties, concubines committing suicide were considered to be extremely treasonous.

The entire families of the two princesses were convicted, and all nine clans, regardless of gender, age or status, were sent to the guillotine.

The person who supervised the execution was none other than the famously cruel Prince of Liang, Wen Qi.

Why did he suddenly come to the border?

The Emperor of Liang has been in poor health in the past two years. Various forces are entrenched in the court. The pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction have been arguing endlessly and are eager to fight in the court.

The death of Ke Shan, a powerful general, was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the peace faction.

If she had heard Qi, she would have definitely seized this excellent opportunity to further consolidate her power in the court.

I heard from a senior fellow student that he had once seen Emperor Liang from afar while traveling. His body had long been drained by alcohol, sex, and all kinds of elixirs, and he would not live for more than two years.

Her senior brother was well versed in medicine and had never made a mistake in fortune-telling.

Calculating the time, it would take no more than half a year for the State of Liang to experience the chaos of the succession of the throne.

Both publicly and privately, Song Yanxi did not want Wen Qi to inherit the throne smoothly.

The day he ascended the throne marked the beginning of suffering for the people of Liang.

Moreover, this man is warlike. If he really becomes the king of a country, there will be constant wars on the border between the two countries, and the people in the surrounding areas will no longer be able to live a peaceful life.

Wen Qi is an extremely dangerous existence to Da'an, and should be eliminated if there is a chance.

The footsteps outside the cave were getting closer.

A rough voice said, "We've searched all the way here, but we haven't seen anyone, not even a single black rat. If we keep searching like this, we'll freeze to death here."

Someone beside him echoed, "There's a cave right here. Let's light a fire and warm up a pot of wine. It's pitch black here, so where can we find one?"

Hearing this, Song Yanxi tightened her grip on the dagger.

She can only deal with one at most, and the rest can only be left to An Yi.

It’s not that I’m worried that he can’t solve it. Judging from the tone he just spoke, he can even knock down all ten of them without any problem.

I'm afraid that if I get angry and make too much noise, it will attract other people.

Since the words "search the mountain" can be used, there must be a lot of people coming tonight.

If they alerted the enemy, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape from the Liang army's encirclement.

On the other side, An Yi was ready to take action at any time.

There was a brief jeer from outside, and then a loud slap suddenly rang out.

Shouting and cursing followed.

"If you want to die, then don't drag me along. You're just warming yourself by the fire. Aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will skin you and roast you like a lamb when you get back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the outside of the cave became so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped.

Because they knew that the boss's words were not meant to scare them.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would really do this.

Two years ago, there was a peerless beauty in the East Palace who was deeply loved by Wen Qi. In just three months, she transformed from a foot-washing maid into the prince's concubine.

He listened to the beauty's every word and did what she said. Not only did he become uncharacteristically humble and helpful to please her, he even made an exception and let her get pregnant with his child.

Just when everyone thought that the beauty was lucky enough to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson and gain honor because of her son, she died.

Wen Qi ordered his men to cruelly cut open her belly, take out the fully formed baby inside, and personally stewed it into a pot of soup for her to nourish her body.

When the beauty refused, he skinned her alive, mixed her flesh with lamb meat, marinated it, and roasted it, and invited the beauty's parents to the palace to taste it.

At the banquet, he asked how the food tasted. The couple, who had been kept in the dark, were terrified and said they had never tasted such delicious food.

Wen Qi laughed three times and said, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but your daughter didn't even taste the soup made with her unborn baby. You are even worse than me."

"Since you don't want to be a human, then be a ghost. In the underworld, the three of you can be together as a family."

A man so cruel that he would even kill his bedmate for fun, let alone soldiers like them whose lives were worthless in his eyes?

They still want to live two more years.

The voices gradually faded away, but Song Yanxi's mood could not calm down for a long time.

Wen Qi was actually several times more absurd and cruel than the rumors said.

If such a person inherits the throne in the future, wouldn't Liang State become a living hell?

How innocent are the people?

At some point, the fire in the cave started burning again, and Song Yanxi's eyes became bright.

When she felt a chill on her back, she realized that she had just broken out in a cold sweat.

We must find the prince as soon as possible and inform him that the Crown Prince of Liang has come to the border in person.

Song Yanxi's intuition told her that Wen Qi's visit this time must be no simple matter.

"Brother Feng, you are kidding me, right?"

Zhuang Shihan grabbed Lin Tingfeng's sleeve and forced a smile, saying, "Who is he? Why is he here joining in the fun instead of staying in the Liang Kingdom Palace and being the crown prince?"

"That's what I wanted to ask, Shihan, do you know why he came?"

Facing Lin Tingfeng's cold eyes, Zhuang Shihan suppressed her uneasiness and asked angrily, "What do you mean, Brother Feng? Don't you believe me?"

"I want to believe you."

"To think is to not believe!"

Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but mockingly said, "Lin Tingfeng, I didn't even blink an eye even though everyone deserted me just to be with you, and you actually doubt me?

Do you have a heart?

Or was it that everything that happened between you and me in the past was just an act?"

Before, when Lin Tingfeng heard her accusations like this, he would only feel sorry for her difficulties.

Then hold her in your arms, comfort her with gentle words, or make a few vows to prove your sincerity.

When love is deep, it is necessary to be gentle with each other.

No matter who made the mistake first, in the end it would be Lin Tingfeng who would admit his mistake and comfort others, and he even seemed to enjoy it.

After all, he is a man, and it is reasonable that he should bear more than a woman.

Besides, she is the woman he finally got after seeking her out. If he doesn't pamper her, is he going to wait for someone else to dote on her?

But at this moment, he felt that it was extremely boring.

Seeing Zhuang Shihan's eyes red with grievance, Lin Tingfeng frowned impatiently, "Why can't you just say it nicely? Why do you have to be so unreasonable?"
