In fact, Tuoba Wu was not wrong.
Based on the information provided by spies and people from the Netherworld Pavilion, Chu Jinghuai headed straight to Linzhou.
Along the way, whether it was intuition or something else, he always felt that Chen Jingxi was getting farther and farther away from him.
This feeling made him anxious.
After arriving in Linzhou, there was suddenly no news about Tuoba Wu, and then various news came out. The results of the investigation by spies and people from the Netherworld Pavilion were different.
Some go west, some go south, but in the end they all go west.
Thinking of this, Chu Jinghuai forced himself to calm down. Tuoba Wu released such news just to confuse the public. This also proved that Chen Jingxi must be in his hands.
There are now two roads in front of him. One is to go west, pass through Yanmen, and rush to the gate of Xiqi.
The other route is to go south, bypass Liping, and then rush to Xiqi.
No matter which way you go, there is a 50% chance that it will happen.
Given Tuoba Wu's style of doing things, how could he clearly tell him that he had two options?
Thinking of this, Chu Jinghuai's expression became serious, and he immediately turned around and said, "Go to Wuzhou."
Ling Ying and Ling Feng were stunned, and immediately spurred on to catch up. They asked, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly change your route to Wuzhou? Don't you have to chase the princess anymore? Wuzhou is eastward, not to Xiqi."
Chu Jinghuai said: "Chen Jingxi is in Wuzhou."
He always thought that Tuoba Wu wanted to take Chen Jingxi to Xiqi, but he didn't expect that he was misled from the beginning.
If Tuoba Wu wanted to return to Xiqi, he could go directly to Xiqi from Danyang without having to take a long detour to Linzhou. This would actually give him time to catch up with him.
Two hundred miles east of Linzhou is Wuzhou, which is the fief of Chu Jingxun.
Ling Feng and Ling Ying looked at each other, not understanding why the princess suddenly ran to Wuzhou, but the prince said that the princess was in Wuzhou, so she must be in Wuzhou.
——
At this time, Chen Jingxi was lying on the deck in a "big" shape, admiring the moonlight.
Seeing her like this, Tuoba Wu couldn't help but say, "Chen Jingxi, can't you pay a little attention to your manners?"
Chen Jingxi turned over and looked at Tuoba Wu from her side. "Am I not a hostage now? Why should I care about my image if I am a hostage?"
Tuoba Wu was speechless. "Other people are very cautious when they are hostages, for fear of offending the robbers, but you are just like you are out for fun."
"I'm at the mercy of others, so I might as well enjoy myself." Chen Jingxi said as a matter of course.
Tuoba Wu ignored her and left her behind when they arrived in Wuzhou.
"It's all your fault for falling in love with me so easily that I unknowingly satisfied my vanity of being loved."
Tuoba Wu: “????”
Chen Jingxi hummed the tune, and when it reached the climax, she said, "I admit it's all the moon's fault. The moonlight is too beautiful, and you are too gentle."
After singing the two climax lines, she continued to hum.
Tuoba Wu finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
If it weren't for the unbearable heat in the cabin, he would never have wanted to stay on the deck with Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi continued to annoy him, "You're annoying, you're fierce, and you actually told me to shut up."
Tuoba Wu almost vomited. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Chen Jingxi, you did it on purpose."
"No, I didn't. Why would I deliberately attract your attention? You misunderstood me..."
"Chen Jingxi, you are so disgusting, does Chu Jinghuai know?" He now doubts whether Chu Jinghuai will chase him. What is the point of coming with such a disgusting woman?
"He knows. He likes people like me. I understand romance, know when to advance and when to retreat. It's very prestigious to take someone out. Don't you guys all like this? Don't you like it?"
Tuoba Wu: "..."
Tuoba Wu was completely silent at this moment, and was warning himself that no matter what Chen Jingxi said next, he should ignore her.
He already understood that Chen Jingxi's humming, sometimes accompanied by a few tunes, and those disgusting words were all meant to disgust him.
Seeing that Tuoba Wu had let down his guard and was almost feeling sick, Chen Jingxi said seriously, "Hey, Tuoba Wu, when did you remove the poison from my body?"
Tuoba Wu sneered, glanced at her, and said, "I've cured you of the poison, and you're going to run away? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Chen Jingxi stood up with a somersault and pointed at the river, "Where should I run?"
Tuoba Wu looked at the vast river. If no one came to help him, escaping would be impossible. He then said, "I can detoxify you, but Chen Jingxi, what are your conditions in exchange? After all, there is no free lunch in this world. If I detoxify you, you must give me something, right?"
Chen Jingxi suppressed the urge to slap him. "That's true, but didn't you poison me? You broke someone else's things, don't you have to pay for it?"
After hearing what she said, Tuoba Wu shrugged and said with a smile: "In that case, I won't cure the poison for you. Anyway, I'm not the one who was poisoned, so it doesn't matter to me. It won't be me who dies from the poison. If you want to die, then wait."
Chen Jingxi was furious. This bastard kept talking to her and if she didn't understand, she would die.
Wait, wait until the day he falls into her hands, and she will feed him ten or eight kilograms of poison.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jingxi suddenly said, "How about this? You cure my poison, and I'll tell you one of Chu Jinghuai's weaknesses."
"What weakness? Isn't his weakness you?"
Chen Jingxi shook his head. "How can you guarantee that I am his weakness?"
Tuoba Wu fell into deep thought.
