"No, this is too dangerous."

How could you let her act so recklessly?

"So what if he's being held hostage by Mo Junxing now?"

"In any case, Mo Junxing won't harm Gu Jingchun, but Empress Dowager Xiao is different."

"Empress Dowager Xiao now controls half of the power in the Great Qi Dynasty. She hates Mo Junxing to the bone and is willing to mobilize all her forces to kill him."

"If she knew how important Jing Chun and Mo Junxing were, she would probably target Gu Jing Chun first."

Xin Shengyuan was clearly not prepared for this. Upon hearing this, he was immediately shocked and, without thinking, ran towards the back mountain, wanting to take Gu Jingchun away first.

Shen Hechuan quickly followed and instructed Tianji to take stock of all the people secretly working for him.

When the time is right, we must save Gu Jingchun at all costs.

He was also instructed to immediately relay a message to the border.

Arm the 100,000 troops stationed on the border, ready for battle at any time.

In fact, long before Shen Hechuan set off from Tiandu, he had issued an imperial edict to the border, ordering the border to be ready to attack at any time.

He even handed the tiger tally to the Empress Dowager and Luo Ziqian to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring.

Soon, the group arrived at the location on the back mountain.

But we were still a step too late.

By this time, it was getting dark, and a thin mist covered the entire uphill slope.

The hillside was already surrounded by a dense crowd of people.

Upon seeing this, Xin Shengyuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

We shouldn't have completely trusted Gu Jingchun's arrangements, but instead overlooked her safety.

She thought Gu Jingchun had arranged everything perfectly and there was no chance of anything going wrong. She never imagined that Empress Dowager Xiao's people would be the biggest variable.

At this moment, when Shen Hechuan saw the decorations on a certain part of the hillside, he couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

******

At this moment, Gu Jingchun followed closely behind Mo Junxing.

Mo Jun walked very slowly, seemingly because he was not fully recovered, and would stop to rest every few steps.

Since arriving here, he has rarely gone out.

Therefore, not many people in the village know about them.

The neighbors nearby also knew that a pair of guests who looked like angels had come to Grandma Wang's house, and they were curious about them.

However, no one has ever seen it.

The two of them walking on this road immediately attracted the attention of many people.

To be honest, the village is located in a very secluded place, hidden in a mountain stream. Unless you are accompanied by someone you know well, it is very difficult to find the location.

Even if you get to the back of the mountain, you might not be able to find the village if you don't remember the way.

That is why Empress Xiao's people have not been able to find their location to this day.

Gu Jingchun, protected by the village, had no desire to disrupt the peaceful life within it.

Therefore, they prepared to lead Mo Junxing to the hillside.

Mo Junxing looked at the people and suddenly spoke.

Aren't you curious about where I'm taking you?

Gu Jingchun was curious when he left, but he didn't say anything because of the look in Mo Junxing's eyes.

Now, looking at Mo Junxing's expectant eyes, she couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Do you want to go to the back mountain?"

Mo Junxing slowly smiled.

"You are very smart."

He spoke slowly, but his gaze fell on the people.

"She is also very kind."

Gu Jingchun raised an eyebrow slightly, and then heard Mo Junxing continue speaking.

"You really like these people?"

Gu Jingchun didn't understand, but he still nodded.

"It's not that I like ordinary people, I just really like this peaceful life."

"They were very simple and kind, like Granny Wang and the doctor. Even though we didn't know them well, they still saved us."

"If it weren't for them, we'd probably be dead by now, wouldn't we?"

After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart again.

She forgot that Mo Junxing was cold-hearted and indifferent, so how could he care about the lives of these common people?

He only cares about himself.

However, Mo Junxing suddenly nodded.

"you're right."

“They are doing well, and their lives are very peaceful. Their lives really shouldn’t be disrupted.”

These words were very strange, causing Gu Jingchun to look up abruptly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Could it be that Mo Junxing has guessed something?

If that's the case, then today's plan is in danger!

For safety's sake, Gu Jingchun stopped in his tracks.

Mo Junxing also stopped and asked her.

"Why have you stopped?"

Gu Jingchun: "I'm a little tired. You're not feeling well yet, so why don't we go to the back mountain tomorrow?"

Mo Junxing shook his head.

"no."

If I wait until tomorrow, won't all the preparations I made today be wasted?

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Gu Jingchun.

Gu Jingchun didn't want him to touch her, so she spoke up.

"Don't touch me, I'll walk by myself."

Mo Junxing paused, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Only after watching Gu Jingchun walk away did he murmur a sentence.

"You hate me that much?"

Following closely behind, Han Sheng noticed Mo Junxing's gaze and couldn't help but glare fiercely at Gu Jingchun, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

It was as if Gu Jingchun was his enemy.

Soon, the two traversed the entire village and arrived at the back mountain.

By this time, it had already gotten dark.

Before Gu Jingchun started walking uphill, he could see that the village behind him was already lit up.
