Chapter 320 I’m Not Afraid of Death, I’m Just Unwilling to Die
Whitehead Peak.
The towering trees above blocked most of the moonlight, as if covering the entire mountain with a layer of mysterious black veil.
People inside cannot see outside, and people outside cannot see the secrets inside.
Song Yanxi was originally a little afraid of the dark.
As soon as she saw the thick and seemingly unmeltable night sky, she would uncontrollably recall the scene she had dreamed of countless times before, where the Yan family was brutally massacred and everyone fell in a pool of blood.
After going back and forth like this, she was no longer afraid. Instead, she felt that the scenery under the night sky was also very interesting.
On the mountain road where only human figures could be vaguely seen, Mo Jinchuan was leading Xuelong in front, while Song Yanxi was sitting steadily on the horse's back.
The two chatted casually, but it didn't make the quiet person feel uneasy.
Song Yanxi nodded, "So, this Wu Jun does have some real skills, no wonder Ke Shan has always treated him as a guest of honor.
If Prince Liang made this trip just to recruit him, it would be understandable."
Mo Jinchuan smiled and asked, "What were you doing before this?"
Song Yanxi said nothing.
Mo Jinchuan asked again, "Are you worried that Wen Qi is here to target me?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, he chuckled and said, "That's not entirely wrong, it's barely half right."
"Then, Your Majesty, do you know what the other half is?"
There aren't many things that could make a prince of a country care and be willing to travel thousands of miles for.
Mo Jinchuan was about to explain when the tip of his ear suddenly moved. Then his face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Someone is coming."
This place is located behind the Liang army's base. Now that the two armies have temporarily ceased fighting, it is not easy for the border troops to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
Not to mention, Prince Liang is now suspicious of Mo Jinchuan's "death" and has sent people to search the mountain again. All the checkpoints leading to Baito Peak will definitely be guarded as tightly as an iron barrel.
Song Yanxi's heart sank. She quickly dismounted and said hastily, "I'll find a way to divert them. Your Highness, please take Xuelong away immediately."
"You lead them away?" Mo Jinchuan said in a low voice.
Even though it was dark at night and Song Yanxi couldn't see his face clearly, she could still feel his anger.
She hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Your Highness has misunderstood. I didn't mean for you to be a deserter, but..."
Mo Jinchuan interrupted her and continued, "You are just like them, treating me as a useless person."
He laughed at himself, his voice cold and hard, sounding indescribably bleak.
Song Yanxi's heart tightened, and she blurted out, "I have never thought of you in this way, Your Highness. Please don't say that about me."
Mo Jinchuan said coldly: "I have fallen to the point where I need a weak woman to die for me in order to escape danger. How is I any different from a useless person?
You might as well give me a quick blow and avoid falling into the hands of Liang the thief and suffering humiliation."
As proud as he was, her proposal was indeed humiliating to him.
She was worried out of concern, but in his opinion, she undoubtedly looked down on him.
Song Yanxi gritted her teeth and said with determination, "Then let's go together."
She jumped onto the horse nimbly and immediately reached out to Mo Jinchuan.
Seeing that he didn't move, she frowned and asked, "Your Highness, you won't leave. Could it be that you're waiting for Crown Prince Liang to invite you to the Liang camp for a drink?"
Hearing this, Mo Jinchuan chuckled, said "I dare not", put his hand on Song Yanxi's palm, and jumped on the horse.
The speed was so fast that Song Yanxi didn't even feel any weight on her hands, and the person was already sitting steadily behind her.
A long arm came around her from behind and tightened the reins.
"Snow Dragon."
The man and the horse have experienced battles of all sizes on the battlefield, and have experienced life and death. A tacit understanding between them has long been formed.
Mo Jinchuan only needed to call out softly, and Xuelong would know what to do next.
As soon as the sound of horse hooves rang out, Song Yanxi heard someone shouting from where the fire had lit up, "General, the people are just ahead!"
With a "whoosh" sound, the flare exploded in the air above their heads.
Soon after, flames lit up in all directions on the mountain, and from afar it looked like a spectacular spectacle dotted with stars.
But Song Yanxi was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at the moment.
Because behind those torches, there was at least one, or even more, Liang soldiers.
She took a quick look and couldn't estimate how many people were there.
If they had been careless and taken the main road instead of the small road that was specially marked in red on the map that Old Liu gave her, they would have run into each other long ago.
No matter how powerful His Royal Highness Prince Jin is in martial arts, it is impossible for him to fight against a hundred or even more people with her as a burden.
With so many people, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape safely.
The wind was whistling in her ears. Just when Song Yanxi was thinking of finding a reason to persuade Mo Jinchuan to go their separate ways, she suddenly realized that they were going in the wrong direction.
According to the map, they should turn left at the fork in the road, turn three turns in a row, and then go down to reach the foot of the mountain.
Otherwise, it will be a dead end.
Xuelong might not know the way, but it was clear that she and the prince had just looked at the map together.
Song Yanxi turned around and wanted to remind Mo Jinchuan, but she forgot that they were both on horses at the moment.
The mountain road happened to be bumpy, and inertia carried her body forward suddenly, and then slammed her back hard.
Song Yanxi, with her head tilted back, was caught off guard and her lips hit Mo Jinchuan's Adam's apple hard.
Song Yanxi only heard a muffled groan, and instantly turned red from head to toe. She quickly turned her head and stammered, "Your Highness, we're taking the wrong road."
Mo Jinchuan's voice, carried by the cold wind, echoed behind him, "There are at least eight thousand people surrounding the mountain. Breaking in by force is the worst option."
Without him saying much, Song Yanxi knew that two people had no chance of winning against eight thousand.
As a member of the royal family, Mo Jinchuan regards the royal family's reputation as above all else.
Rather than being captured by the Liang army as expected and suffering humiliation at the hands of the cruel and perverted Prince Liang, it would be better to end his life first and retain some dignity.
But she was unwilling to die like this.
The blood feud between the Yan family and their family of three has not yet been avenged, and the culprit is still in a high position, living at ease.
She had clearly already found out something and was just waiting to collect solid evidence and return to Beijing to uncover the hypocritical, cruel, and ugly faces beneath the two men's glamorous appearances.
Just a little bit...
How could she close her eyes after coming to this point and stopping?
Noticing Song Yanxi's body trembling slightly, Mo Jinchuan thought she was afraid and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt a hair on your head."
The howling wind blew away his words, and only the words "Don't be afraid" could be vaguely heard.
Song Yanxi's emotions were mixed, and she murmured, "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to."
Her voice was so soft, so soft that she could hardly hear it.
But Mo Jinchuan heard it clearly.
Not only did I hear it clearly, I also remembered it in my heart.
Not far away, Wu Jun, who had rushed over to intercept them, looked in the direction the two had left and said without hesitation, "Shoot!"
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly ordered us to live..."
Wu Jun interrupted the man impatiently and said coldly, "Even if you can only bring back a corpse, it's better than failing to complete the mission."
"Shoot!"
