Chapter 311 A Big Game

He was not prepared to go down the mountain, but ordered An Yi to take the risk and lure away the Liang army.

What exactly is His Royal Highness Prince Jin planning?

In other words, including the lifelike corpse found by Liang Jun, was it part of his plan a long time ago?

If so, when did he start planning such a big game?

Was it the day he left the city, or when he was assassinated at the welcoming banquet, or even earlier.

It would have been fine if he had kept it a secret from her, but this matter was extremely dangerous, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

But An Yi is his confidant, and the two of them have a life-and-death friendship. How could he have the heart to hide it from him?

Seeing Song Yanxi's eyes looking at him, which gradually changed from doubt to anger, Mo Jinchuan explained: "The decision to fake your death was also made on the spur of the moment."

"General Qiu also doesn't know?"

"I don't know."

Song Yanxi's expression softened slightly, and she spoke in a somewhat awkward tone, "Your Highness, this is too risky. Breaking into Liang Army territory alone, what if something goes wrong?"

Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, and he suddenly asked, "What about you?"

Before Song Yanxi could mumble over her question, he continued, "You could have waited for news in the city. Why did you take the risk of coming here with An Yi?"

Song Yanxi was stunned and couldn't help but ask herself the same question in her heart.

Yes, she is just a military doctor. Apart from medical books, she has no martial arts skills. If she encounters Liang’s army, she may even hinder An Yi.

If you are really worried, just give him two more life-saving pills.

It is neither moral nor logical for her to make such a trip in person.

Song Yanxi understood all these principles.

But when it comes to actual practice, it is not like that.

She knew in her heart that her action was too rash, and she had been blaming herself for it all along.

But she knew better that even if she was given another chance, she would still make the same choice.

She had to come and save him.

Song Yanxi lowered her eyes, avoiding Mo Jinchuan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and changed the subject: "Your Highness has been trapped for a day and a night, he must be hungry, I brought some dry food."

As she spoke, she took out two pieces of dried meat from her bag and handed them to him.

"I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything to eat. Please don't despise me, Your Highness."

Mo Jinchuan looked at her red hands from the cold, his eyes full of heartache, and sighed softly, "This place is dangerous, you shouldn't have come."

Song Yanxi's face suddenly darkened, "Your Highness, are you trying to get rid of me?"

Since she dared to come, she never thought about the possibility that someone would go back home.

If we want to go, let’s go together.

Otherwise, don't leave.

Catching the flash of anger in her eyes, Mo Jinchuan suddenly smiled, his eyebrows raised as he said, "Now that you're here, it's probably too late for you to leave now."

Song Yanxi curled the corners of her lips slightly, handed the dried meat forward and said, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. If we can't leave, then we won't leave."

The Liang army’s base.

Wen Qi, who was sitting in the main seat, had one arm around the beauty's waist and with the other lightly pointed at the man kneeling at the door of the tent. He said quietly, "Drag him away and skin him alive."

Two burly guards immediately stepped forward, and without waiting for the man to speak, they violently dislocated his jaw and dragged him away.

The generals standing below didn't dare to breathe, let alone beg for mercy for him.

So many people sealed the mountain, but they couldn't even catch a mere secret guard. It's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry about such a waste.

He deserves to die!

What if the boss gets furious and orders them to be skinned alive for fun? Who can they turn to for justice?

Suddenly, an angry voice came from outside the tent.

"This subordinate requests an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The general waiting on the side hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the person who wants to see you is Wu Jun."

Wen Qi raised his eyebrows with interest, "The strategist beside Ke Shan who is so wise and almost a demon?"

"That's him."

Seeing that he was interested in Wu Jun, another person also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't pay attention to him. He is a spineless person. He kept saying that he and Ke Jiang... and Ke Shan were rare confidants in a century.

As soon as Ke Shan died and his body was brought back to the camp, he turned and joined the army of Deputy General Mu, swearing a solemn oath to prove his sincerity in order to save his life.

Wen Qi played with the beauty's slender jade fingers and said lazily, "Let him in."

The person who was speaking wanted to stop him, but the only words on his lips were, "This person is very cunning. He must be pleading for Yan Shiming. They used to be best friends when they were both under Ke Shan."

Yan Shiming was the person who had just been dragged out.

"You do understand them." Wen Qi raised his eyelids, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The man felt a chill on his back when he saw his smile.

But then he thought again, there were countless rumors in the capital about the prince's moodiness, and he felt that he was too timid.

Given his position and ability, this might be his only chance to meet the prince in his lifetime, so he must seize it.

As the old saying goes, the bold will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation.

Thinking of this, he secretly encouraged himself and said with a flattering smile, "Your Highness, you may not know that I was once one of Ke Shan's lieutenants."

He glanced back, took two steps forward, and lowered his voice, saying, "As long as Your Highness is willing, I can immediately identify all of Ke Shan's confidants in the army and solve your most pressing problems."

"Really?" Wen Qi curled the corners of his lips, "In that case, I would like to thank you very much."

The man quickly knelt down, saying with deep trepidation, "I ask for nothing more than to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, devoting myself to him until my death."

"You are so loyal and selfless, I don't know what to do."

Wen Qi said, raised his hand to lift the chin of the beauty in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Jiaojiao, how do you think I should reward him?"

Jiaojiao leaned in his arms, smiling sweetly, with a hint of anger in her bright eyes.

"Your Highness is really something. He always lets me play the bad guy."

Although he said he was reluctant, his words were merciless.

She said, "If this person can betray the master once, he will betray the master a second time. Your Highness cannot keep such a wolfish and ambitious person around."

The man suddenly raised his head, eyes filled with panic as he said, "Your Highness, please understand. I am a loyal servant and would never betray you!"

He looked at Jiaojiao, who was smiling, with his eyes wide open.

"You vicious woman, I have no grudge against you, why do you hurt me like this?"

Jiaojiao covered her lips, chuckled and asked, "Don't you think this is funny?"

Since his life was at stake, the man couldn't laugh at all.

He cursed angrily, "You vicious, ruthless woman! Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go."

Jiaojiao said indifferently: "Then go die."

As if she had thought of something, a smile appeared on her charming face. She said meaningfully, "When you get to Hades' Palace, remember to speak with your tongue straight. Don't mistake your enemy."

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to curse, but the two guards who had just pushed him out came back, removed his jaw swiftly, and dragged him out.

Meeting his eyes full of resentment, Jiaojiao shrank back into Wen Qi's arms in fear and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, this man's eyes are so scary. I am scared."

Wen Qi said without even raising his eyes: "Then dig out his eyes."

"Your Highness is so kind to me."

She smiled tenderly and tried to kiss his lips, but Wen Qi turned his face away.

Just when she was secretly feeling disappointed, her chin was suddenly pinched hard by a hand.

Wen Qi's sinister eyes were full of warnings, "Don't look at me with such a pitiful look. She would never do that."
