Night falls.
There was a hint of coolness in the air.
Yan Xi and Murong Xing arrived at an inn.
After a simple meal, the two returned to their guest room.
Fearing that something might go wrong and he wouldn't be able to take care of the situation in time, Murong Xing only booked one guest room.
She didn't dare to sleep deeply, so she stayed by his side and forced Yan Xi to go to bed early.
Yan Xi refused to do so and insisted that she go and rest.
After a while, both of them couldn't sleep and started talking.
As they chatted, they gradually became sleepy and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Murong Xing woke up with a start, glanced at the sleeping boy, tiptoed out of the room and went to the toilet.
When she came out, she felt that the atmosphere in the inn was not right. As she walked through the corridor, she faintly heard the sound of horse hooves.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and a woman's sixth sense told her that danger was approaching.
Without caring about anything else, Murong Xing hurried back to the guest room, woke up Yan Xi, and together they found the coachman and the guards who escorted them, preparing to get on the carriage and escape overnight.
Unexpectedly, before they got on the carriage, they heard the sound of horses' feet getting closer and closer, and the sound of armor rubbing against each other came one after another. A group of well-trained soldiers holding torches surrounded them.
The guards' expressions became serious, they drew their swords and entered combat mode.
Then the soldiers made a gap.
Seeing this, Murong Xing subconsciously took Yan Xi's hand and pulled her behind him, looking at them warily, "What do you want to do?"
"Hehe...what do you want to do? I should be the one asking you what you want to do!" A cold and familiar voice came into his ears.
Yan Xi and Murong Xing's pupils trembled as they looked at the person who was slowly walking towards them.
Xiao Jingwen was dressed in a black brocade robe embroidered with white dragon patterns and auspicious clouds, and wore a silver crown with two dragons playing with a pearl on his head. He exuded the pressure and aura of a superior.
He stared at Murong Xing gloomily, with murderous intent.
Especially when she saw Yan Xi being so dependent on her and the two of them holding hands, she almost lost her mind.
Seeing his expression, Murong Xing's heart trembled violently. Thinking of Chu Junyao's words, he held Yan Xi's hand tightly and stared at him warily, "Your Highness Prince Jin, what do you want to do?"
Xiao Jingwen ignored her, gently moved his neck, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his uncontrollable emotions. He looked at the somewhat dazed Yan Xi, stretched out his hand, and said in a tone that did not allow for argument: "Yan Xi, come here."
Yan Xi was frightened by his gaze, her eyelashes trembled, her body moved, and she instinctively wanted to obey.
"You can't go over there!" Murong Xing held him back, raising her voice, her nerves tense, as if she was terrified that he would fall into the hands of the man opposite. "I promised Brother Chu that even if I died, I would never let you fall into the hands of this rapist and be humiliated by him!"
Yan Xi looked at Xiao Jingwen, then looked at her, "Sister Xing'er, he... won't hurt me."
"The human heart is unpredictable, Yan Xi, you can't go over there." Murong Xing couldn't believe it. Xiao Jingwen had a criminal record, and he came with a fierce momentum and a sinister look. It was obvious that he came with bad intentions.
Although she was facing this situation for the first time and was very scared, but now as the older sister, she had to straighten her chest and try to stay calm.
He swallowed secretly, and like protecting a child, he opened his arms, blocked the person behind him, and stared at Xiao Jingwen opposite him, "If you have anything to say, come to me, don't hurt Yan Xi."
"Coming for you?" Xiao Jingwen sneered, narrowing his eyes dangerously. "Today, I am indeed coming for you. You also want to take my Yan Xi away. Murong Xing, you are really capable!"
Murong Xing was slightly stunned and frowned, "What do you mean?"
