Chapter 354 Wu Jun is not trustworthy



Chapter 354 Wu Jun is not trustworthy

What Mo Jinchuan said sounded like a chessboard, but his burning eyes made people feel dazed for a moment.

Is there really no other meaning to this?

Without waiting for Song Yanxi to think deeply, he suddenly stood up and said, "We've been playing chess for more than ten days straight. Even if you're not tired of it, I am too."

At her strong request, Mo Jinchuan no longer mentioned "wife" all the time, but he refused to let her continue to call him "Prince" no matter what.

He also said that if she insisted on calling someone, then she could call him husband.

Even if he said this kind of words to the sky, Song Yanxi would never agree to it. It was really difficult to say it.

So, now they just speak directly without any special titles.

In Luo Yidao's words, it was like speaking in riddles.

He also said: "You nobles are so creative. It's just a title. You won't lose a single cent."

There was no way to lose weight, but Song Yanxi really couldn't open her mouth.

She even regretted speaking too early.

If I had known this, it would have been nice to continue being mute.

"What are you still standing there for?" Mo Jinchuan saw that she was sitting there without moving, and asked with a smile: "You've been stuck in this damn place for half a month, don't you want to go out and take a look?"

When no one was around in the middle of the night, they would briefly crawl out of the cellar to relieve themselves and get some fresh air.

Fearing of being discovered by patrolling soldiers and also fearing of causing trouble for Luo Yidao, they limited their activities to the backyard of the butcher shop and never went to the front shop.

But now, he said he wanted to go out and take a look?

Hearing the sudden sound of firecrackers outside, Song Yanxi shook her head.

This is too risky.

The sound of firecrackers just covered up the voices. She only saw Mo Jinchuan's lips move, as if he was saying that it was dark.

The clothes were simple, and Song Yanxi's eyes showed even more confusion.

The Liang army's patrols have never stopped during these days, and the number of people has increased each time.

In the past few days, they have come to search the house from time to time. They go out so brazenly under their noses, which is no different from walking into a trap.

After this bumpy journey, she felt that she should reconsider whether she had misunderstood His Royal Highness Prince Jin's cautious approach.

There is no safety at all in doing such a risky thing.

Seeing that Mo Jinchuan was still standing there and had no intention of giving up, Song Yanxi suddenly thought of something and reached out to him.

"Bring it here."

Seeing that he refused to move, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you waiting for me to make a move?"

The sound of firecrackers outside stopped at the right time, and her voice just happened to reach Mo Jinchuan's ears without missing a word.

There was a visibly bigger smile on his face, with the corners of his lips raised, and the words "Hurry up and do it" were almost written on his face.

I couldn't ask for more.

Song Yanxi was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't do anything to him.

Although she said it was okay, she couldn't really take off his clothes.

What a disgrace.

Before she could speak again, Mo Jinchuan took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to her.

The wax seal on the envelope was still there, indicating it had not been opened.

Since it wasn't a clue left by Wu Jun, why did he have to go out today?

Seeing the doubt in Song Yanxi's eyes, Mo Jinchuan just said: "Open it and take a look."

She tore off the seal and poured out the contents.

In addition to the two household registration documents, there was also a thin piece of paper.

It was just blank, with nothing written on it.

Thinking of the confidentiality measures used by the military to pass letters, Song Yanxi hurriedly hung the paper over the candlelight to warm it.

After a while, four words slowly appeared on it.

"The fire started on New Year's Eve."

"New Year's Eve, isn't it today?"

Mo Jinchuan nodded, picked up the two household registration documents she had placed on the table beside her, handed them aside and lit them with candlelight.

When the dry paper came into contact with the open flame, it was quickly licked up by the flames, leaving only a handful of black ash on the ground.

He was so fast that Song Yanxi had no time to stop him.

Her expression changed slightly, "Is Wu Jun untrustworthy?"

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, especially someone like him who can think a hundred steps ahead. We have to be on guard."

Mo Jinchuan took out two masks from somewhere and continued, "When playing against this kind of person, even if you can't predict what will happen to him, you must not let him lead you by the nose.

Otherwise, it would be like being pinched in the vital spot, causing endless troubles."

Compared to these, Song Yanxi wanted to know more right now.

Were those four words just now what she thought?

If this is true, what guilt have the people of Qinghua Town committed?

Meeting her eyes filled with mixed emotions, Mo Jinchuan pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Today, the people of the town will go to the road to watch the dragon lanterns. Their lives will not be harmed."

But water and fire are merciless. Once a fire starts, it is not so easy to extinguish.

The people of this town will be displaced as a result.

Mo Jinchuan stepped forward and put the mask on Song Yanxi's face himself.

"Wu Jun needs to give Wen Qi an explanation, otherwise, it won't be as simple as Wang Biao's life."

He took her hand, only to feel the coldness in his palm.

He asked in a deep voice: "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"

If she thought he was cruel now, she would probably find it even more unacceptable when she saw him leading troops in battle.

He could no longer count how many lives he had taken.

After years of fighting, even he could not really guarantee that his hands were not stained with the blood of an innocent person.

Will she be afraid of him and stay away from him?

Seeing that Song Yanxi remained silent, Mo Jinchuan's heart sank.

He opened his mouth, only to feel a bitter and astringent taste in his throat.

Perhaps this is the retribution he deserves for committing too many murders.

Mo Jinchuan smiled bitterly, let go of her hand and said, "I've never been a good person."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Song Yanxi grabbed his hand, took a deep breath and said, "It's not your fault."

The moment she held his hand, Mo Jinchuan stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react for a moment.

When they were in Hemu Village, he shamelessly called her "wife" twice, taking advantage of their status as "husband and wife".

The only thing she relied on was that her throat was injured and she couldn't refute.

In the past half month, the two of them have been even more restrained and polite. Not only has there been inappropriate physical contact, she even forbids him to call her "wife".

His words and actions showed that he wanted to distance himself from him.

Since she didn't want to, he naturally respected her and kept the appropriate distance from her.

When I reached out to hold her hand just now, I couldn't help myself.

But now, she took the initiative to hold his hand and told him that it was not his fault.

Seeing that Mo Jinchuan's eyes were staring at her more and more fiercely, Song Yanxi subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't pull it out at all.

He was extremely strong, and his big hands tightly held her hands. Although it didn't hurt, it didn't allow her any chance to escape.

The candlelight was dim, and Mo Jinchuan's eyes were shining brightly, as if he wanted to burn a hole in people's faces.

He held Song Yanxi's hand tightly, pulled her forward, and forced her to look into his eyes.

The hoarse voice sounded like joy and disbelief.

"Could you please repeat what you just said?"
