Chapter 548 - 274: Su Qianxue, Are You Courting Death? (2)
Isn’t it going to be difficult to handle?
At a time when the two armies are in a standoff, the daughter of an important minister falls into enemy hands. With a hostage in hand, if they attempt a rescue, they will certainly be constrained and face multiple hindrances.
But if they do not attempt a rescue, once word gets out, what will become of the nation’s dignity?
If they cannot even rescue a minister’s daughter, how can they save the thousands of citizens at the border from calamity?
All the soldiers at the border would instantly become a laughingstock, followed by the loss of civilian morale, and ultimately, the country’s reputation and prestige would suffer a severe blow.
"So, to avoid such an accident, I boldly request the Prince to personally escort me on this journey, is that acceptable?"
It must be said, she had precisely grasped Mo Yuanhao’s weak spot, her words deeply struck his heart, stirring his apprehensions.
In a moment of contemplation, he looked at the soldiers beside him.
"I need to leave for a while. You guys continue to patrol diligently and stay fully alert~"
"If you notice anything unusual, immediately split into two groups. One should return to report to the Commander, while the others continue to keep watch, understood?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qianxue knew that he had changed his mind, and she slowly exhaled a breath of relief in her heart.
Great, she’s one step closer to catching the fish.
"Yes, Vice Commander."
The soldiers unanimously took their orders and then quietly watched as Mo Yuanhao pulled the person onto the horse’s back.
It was at this moment that everyone realized this was a woman, and they couldn’t help but begin speculating about her identity.
Who could this woman be to make the usually stoic Prince Qi change his mind and personally escort her to town?
Presumably, she is no ordinary person.
The soldiers’ thoughts were varied, while Su Qianxue, after mounting the horse, subtly held onto Mo Yuanhao’s sleeve and quietly nestled into his embrace.
She didn’t care at all what others might think about her and Mo Yuanhao.
"Th-thank you, Prince."
She quietly thanked him, her voice carrying a slight trembling, putting on an appearance of being utterly frightened.
This voice successfully distracted Mo Yuanhao, preventing him from noticing how intimate their posture seemed.
"No need, I simply don’t want to give Beidi any opportunity to constrain our side."
With that, he raised the whip and urged the horse toward the nearby town.
The horse’s hooves flew swiftly, causing a constant bumping on the horseback.
Taking advantage of this bumpy ride, Su Qianxue leaned into the man’s arms completely, secretly rejoicing, though her voice trembled fiercely.
"Prince, slow down, it’s too fast, I’m scared..."
Whether he didn’t hear or simply didn’t want to pay attention, the speed did not decrease, continuing its swift pace, which happened to suit Su Qianxue’s wishes.
She closed her eyes, steeling herself and clung tightly to him, burying her face in the crook of his neck.
With soft warmth in his embrace, an alluring scent surged into his nostrils, driving Mo Yuanhao’s body to restlessness, finally becoming aware of something amiss.
He frowned, pulled the reins to stop the horse, and then grabbed Su Qianxue’s arm, intending to pull her out of his arms.
However, she held on tightly, her arms wrapped around him like vines.
On horseback with environmental limitations, he couldn’t exert his full force, and for the moment, he couldn’t pull her away.
"Su Qianxue, let go of me!"
He squinted and spoke lowly, his voice filled with a chilling threat.
But with a Teleportation Talisman in hand, a system at her side, and a mission supporting her, Su Qianxue wasn’t afraid of him in the least, feeling instead a rising boldness.
She opened her lips, lightly biting his Adam’s apple, gently licking.
A lethal numbness spread throughout the body instantly, as if even his bones turned to jelly, with a captivating sweetness filling his nostrils.
After all, he was just a normal man.
Mo Yuanhao let out a muffled grunt, his throat moving up and down, his brows tight, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yet even in such a moment, he didn’t forget to issue a threat.
"Su Qianxue, are you courting death?"
Hearing the unendurable desire in his voice, Su Qianxue knew for sure that the fragrance on her body was taking effect.
After mounting the horse, she had secretly sprayed the fragrance on herself when Mo Yuanhao wasn’t paying attention.
The system had specifically told her that this fragrance had an extremely strong aphrodisiac effect, capable of dominatingly arousing a man’s primal desires.
In the past, with his protagonist’s aura, Mo Yuanhao might have been able to resist it.
But now, having been released from the engagement by Yun Wanyao, placed under Yun Family’s surveillance, and with the Emperor lingering on, causing many of his subordinates not to pledge allegiance to him, his protagonist aura was nearly gone.
This time, his being assigned to Dingbei Pass was due to the Emperor’s displeasure at him repeatedly disturbing Yun Wanyao, leading to deliberate suppression.
