Chapter 310 Illusion
"Master?" An Yi suddenly stood up, his voice unable to contain his excitement, and said, "Miss Song, please wait a moment. I'll go out and investigate. I'll be back soon."
Song Yanxi responded, but before she could say anything, the footsteps outside had disappeared.
In the pitch-black environment, her hearing was extremely sharp, and the sounds around her seemed to be instantly amplified.
There was the sound of the snow dragon pacing on the spot, the sound of water dripping on the rock wall in the cave, and the chirping of insects outside the cave.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard the sound of a dry branch being stepped on and broken.
Someone is outside.
For some reason, Song Yanxi suddenly felt an urge in her heart.
Her intuition told her that the person who came back was not An Yi.
It’s Mo Jinchuan.
She hurriedly groped her way to her feet along the rock wall, and stumbled towards the direction where the footsteps came from.
Song Yanxi was so worried that she forgot for a moment that there were stones for resting next to the fire, and kicked it hard without having time to avoid it.
Her body suddenly lost balance, and she tripped and fell forward uncontrollably.
Just when she thought she was going to fall, she suddenly fell into a warm and broad embrace.
The voice above me was familiar and reassuring.
"Be careful."
Song Yanxi quickly withdrew from his embrace, not caring about being shy, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."
Before Mo Jinchuan could figure out where he had offended him, a pair of hands quickly climbed up his shoulders in the darkness, then his chest, and all the way down his waist and abdomen...
He felt his ears burning, and quickly grabbed the hand that was still touching him, saying in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."
Realizing how inappropriate her behavior was, Song Yanxi quickly withdrew her hand. The skin on her wrist that had been touched felt like it had been licked by a flame and was extremely hot.
Thinking about what I just did, it seems even more absurd.
What on earth is she doing?
No matter how much I worry about the prince, I can't... I can't do such an offensive thing.
How can they live their lives if this gets out?
In the darkness, Song Yanxi couldn't see Mo Jinchuan's face clearly, nor could she judge his mood at the moment.
She thought for a moment and finally explained, "The fire stick was with the Dark Commander. I was in a hurry and offended you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"No problem." Mo Jinchuan's tone was gentle, even with a hint of a smile, "Miss Song cares so much about whether I am injured. I am so happy that I can't even forgive her."
Song Yanxi's heart trembled, and she inexplicably heard several different meanings in his polite words.
Before she knew the prince's intentions, she could still convince herself that everything was a misunderstanding and an illusion.
She must recognize the identities of the two and not be too sentimental.
But now, it was hard for her not to think too much.
What the prince said just now was most likely intentional.
But he has always been introverted, and his secret thoughts were hidden so tightly that no one could see them.
What happened today?
Song Yanxi felt dazed for a moment, and when she came to her senses, the darkness in front of her eyes had been dispelled by the bright light of the fire.
By the light of the fire, she finally saw the face that made her worry.
He had become darker and thinner, with dark stubble covering his chin. Only his bright eyes showed his usual appearance.
If she hadn't heard the voice first, Song Yanxi might not have dared to recognize him directly if they had just met.
Looking at the fire on the ground, she said with some concern: "Now Baitou Peak is full of Liang army soldiers. It is better not to light a fire for the time being, so as not to let the smoke drift out and arouse suspicion."
If we attract the Liang army searching the mountain, it will be difficult to escape.
Mo Jinchuan just looked at her, and in his dark eyes there was not only a smile but also unexpected surprise.
He didn't expect her to come.
In other words, he never dared to think that she could really break through the blockade of the Liang army and come to him.
Xi Lin really didn't lie to him.
She cared about him, but pretended not to care and easily deceived him.
"Your Highness?" Song Yanxi felt a little embarrassed by his straightforward and passionate gaze.
Mo Jinchuan came back to his senses when he heard her voice. He chuckled and explained, "Don't worry. An Yi will lead them away. It won't be long before the people on the mountain leave."
"He's alone?"
Thinking of the large number of Liang troops, Song Yanxi became even more worried.
No matter how strong his martial arts skills are, he is outnumbered. How can he escape on his own?
Mo Jinchuan said gently: "There are still dark clouds."
Dark Cloud? How come she had never heard of this name?
Just as she was thinking, Song Yanxi heard a clear whistle coming from outside.
The black horse, which had been hiding in the corner of the cave, quickly stood up from the ground, neighed, and rushed out.
Song Yanxi asked in surprise: "Is it the dark cloud?"
Mo Jinchuan smiled faintly and nodded, "Wu Yun and Xue Long joined the army in the same year."
"Dark clouds are also wild horses?" Song Yanxi was even more surprised.
She picked a rock and sat down, sighing, "They say wild horses have fierce temperaments. Your Highness must have put in a lot of effort to tame these two horses."
"When the snow dragon was young, it was greedy. It wouldn't be difficult to lure it back."
Mo Jinchuan glanced at the Snow Dragon, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up but was being too proud to come over. He smiled and continued, "As for the Oolong, it followed me here on its own."
Wild horses are fierce and love freedom. How could a horse seek restraint when it is driven?
Unless, you are tempted by beauty.
Song Yanxi glanced at the motionless Snow Dragon not far away and sighed, "Lust is like a sword hanging over your head. The old ancestor never lied to me."
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "Miss, are you reminding me of something?"
Meeting his pair of gentle, almost drowning eyes, Song Yanxi quickly turned her eyes away and said unnaturally, "Your Highness is joking."
When she knew nothing, she felt that His Royal Highness Prince Jin's eyes were particularly alluring. Now that they were not restrained at all, it was even more irresistible.
Mo Jinchuan said seriously, "This king is not joking."
Her heart seemed to skip a beat as Song Yanxi stared at the fire in front of her, feeling the heat making her mouth dry.
His cheeks were burning hot, like a kettle about to boil.
The words have been on my lips for a long time, but I still don't know how to start.
As luck would have it, the person who had caused her to lose her composure was now looking at her with concern and asking, "Miss, you don't look right, are you feeling unwell?"
As Mo Jinchuan spoke, he stretched out his hand very naturally and tested the temperature of her forehead.
The cold touch was fleeting, so fast that Song Yanxi didn't even have time to react.
She should have been angry, or at least she should have reminded His Royal Highness Prince Jin to be careful.
But for some reason, not only could she not say it, she even felt a little empty in her heart.
The reason why His Royal Highness Prince Jin withdrew so quickly just now was probably to avoid suspicion.
As long as Lin Tingfeng does not agree to divorce, she will be the general's wife.
No matter how much affection there is, it is not greater than the word "courtesy".
Not to mention, His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who is in the royal family, is a person of great virtue and courtesy.
Song Yanxi pinched her palms, raised her eyes to meet Mo Jinchuan's eyes that showed no disguising concern, and said politely yet distantly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."
She estimated the time and continued, "It will take some time for the people on the mountain to evacuate. Your Highness can take a light nap for an hour and wait for dawn before waiting for an opportunity to climb the mountain."
Feeling her change in attitude, Mo Jinchuan couldn't help but look disappointed.
Thinking of something, he curled his lips and asked, "Who told you that I'm going down the mountain?"
