Chapter Twenty-Three: The feeling of being out of control must not sit still

The man took Mu Qianxia in his arms and walked forward.

The sky was getting darker, and the long hair that was scattered by the wind was blocked in front of him, Mu Qianxia couldn't see anything clearly, but it could be judged from the sound of the wind that there must be a cave on the other side of here.

As Mu Qianxia guessed, there is a cave at the other end of here, a cave that was naturally formed and carved by people in the later stage.

After walking for about a few hundred meters, the stone door opened, and the dazzling firelight shone out, Mu Qianxia instinctively stretched out his hand to block it, and only after a while did he adapt to the light in the cave.

This cave is not big, but it is very deep, and Mu Qianxia does not see the end at a glance; There is a huge brazier every few tens of meters in the cave, which illuminates the cave as if it were day, and at the same time drives away the severe cold in the cave.

The air in the cave is very well circulated, the torches are burning strongly, and the ventilation effect is also excellent.

As soon as Mu Qianxia and the man in black came in, three men who were also dressed in black came to them. It's just that these three people didn't deliberately hide their appearance, and their exposed faces were frighteningly pale, the kind of white that has not seen light all year round, and they look particularly gloomy when they are illuminated by the firelight, just like the messengers of hell.

"This is the eldest princess of Xichu? The boss came out, and sure enough, he was caught. The three of them looked Mu Qianxia up and down as if they were looking at the goods, and then showed a disgusted expression: "Just such a little girl, can you really make the third prince lose control for her?" ”

In a word, the other party's goal was revealed.

It turned out that the other party was really leaving for Gu.

"Heh......" Mu Qianxia suddenly laughed, and the three of them turned pale and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"This princess laughs at your naivety, and using this princess to seduce the third prince is a stinky move. This princess is just a chess piece he uses to consolidate his position, this princess has no chess piece, there will be the next one, there are many princesses of Xichu, and there is not only one princess, can you prevent success every time? Believe it or not, if you give the head of this princess to the three princes, the three princes will not be moved. "People are dead, what else do you need to be moved? At most, it's to avenge her.

"Boss, is this eldest princess of Xichu true?" The three black-clothed men were obviously panicked and looked at the man who brought Mu Qianxia in.

"Whether the third prince comes or not is not something she can say by herself." The man known as the boss threw Mu Qianxia away, she was a princess, but in the eyes of this person, she was a garbage that could be discarded casually. Who is behind these people?

The fall was not heavy, Mu Qianxia rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, got up from the ground, and happened to meet the cold eyes of the black-clothed boss, as for the face?

The other party's entire head was wrapped in a black cloth, and only a pair of eyes were coldly exposed.

"You take her down and wash it, I don't want anything unclean on her." After the black-clothed boss finished explaining, he walked to the left, pushed on the stone wall, and a secret door appeared, and the other party walked in, and the secret door immediately returned to its original state, and it was no different from the stone wall next to it.

This place is really not simple. The other party has really been planning for a long time.

Mu Qianxia quickly glanced around, although because it was far away, he couldn't see anything, but Mu Qianxia was sure that there were definitely many similar secret doors around him. To have such a delicate setting on a mountainside, the strength of the other party must not be simple.

"Don't look at it, eldest princess, even if you see it, you can't find the mechanism, it's better to follow us obediently, at least you can eat less flesh and skin." The three men in black looked at Mu Qianxia with contempt.

Mu Qianxia lightly retracted her gaze, nodded cooperatively, and said softly, "Okay." ”

"Hmph...... This eldest princess of Xichu looks very stupid, and she is well-behaved, which seems to be different from the rumors in the outside world. I don't know how the third prince **......" The three black-clothed men sneered, and then pushed Mu Qianxia to the cave.

Inside is a narrow and narrow road, and after walking for about 100 meters, there is no brazier lighting, and the further you go, the darker it becomes, and it takes two quarters of an hour to see a little light. The three of them pushed Mu Qianxia in, pointed to the pool with white smoke in the middle and said, "Eldest princess, are you jumping by yourself, or are we going to throw you down?" ”

"I'll jump on my own." At this time, do you still need to choose?

With a pop, Mu Qianxia jumped down decisively......

"Shhh

The biting cold water was like an ice blade, drilling into every inch of her skin, without a trace of bone marrow, Mu Qianxia kept shivering in the pool, hugging herself tightly, trying to bring a faint warmth to herself.

As soon as she entered, she found that the temperature of the cave was very low, and she guessed that the pool of white smoke was by no means lukewarm, but she did not expect that the water would be so cold and so biting.

It's like freezing into the bone marrow!

"Hahahaha, eldest princess, this pool of cold water is not bad, right? This is specially prepared for you, I don't know if you are satisfied? The eldest princess can soak for a while if she likes it, and we don't mind waiting for you a little longer. The three men in black laughed when they saw Lin Chujiu's embarrassed appearance.

"Ben, princess Ben, is it okay, can I go out?" Mu Qianxia trembled, trembling all the time, her face turned pale, and her lips turned blue-purple.

"Please also ask the eldest princess to soak her hair before coming out." The three of them didn't deliberately embarrass Mu Qianxia, after all, if Mu Qianxia really froze to death, what else would they use to lure the third prince to the bait? Isn't all their painstaking and long-planned plan going to be nullified?

"Okay." Although the water was cold to the bone, Mu Qianxia still did not hesitate, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, squatted down, and the whole person was submerged in the water, and then he got up violently and walked straight towards the edge of the pool.

When the three black-clothed people saw Mu Qianxia coming up, they casually threw her a set of coarse linen clothes and a quilt for her, "Eldest princess, the items are simple, I hope you don't mind, take care of it." A word of advice to you, stay here and don't try to escape, don't force us to throw you into the pool again. ”

After the three of them finished explaining this sentence, they didn't worry that Mu Qianxia would run away at all, and left without looking back, leaving Mu Qianxia there alone.

…………

The capital, the palace of the three princes.

After Gu Li received the news from the guards, he immediately asked people to find Gu Chenyu.

"Third brother, the third sister-in-law has been held hostage, what should we do? To save or not to save?" As soon as Gu Chenyu came in, he said straightforwardly. Although he felt that the eldest princess was still quite good, the other party was obviously coming for the third brother, otherwise he would not have left those guards to let them come back to report the news. However, in his eyes, even if the eldest princess has tens of millions of good, it is not as important as his third brother's life, if he is allowed to choose, he will give up the eldest princess.

"Salvation is certain, but not in my current status." Gu Li said softly.

"Third brother, you don't want to act as the owner of your Dark Moon Building, right? No, this is absolutely not good, this is the capital, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you in the dark, and your identity will be exposed if you are not careful, and then it will not be explained in one sentence or two, this is a big crime of bullying. Gu Chenyu said excitedly.

"I know. I couldn't let myself see her in danger, and I promised her that I wouldn't let her get involved in the royal battle of Eastern Qin. ”

"Third brother, it's not up to you to decide, from the day she arrived in Eastern Qin, whether she wanted to meddle in the royal battle in Eastern Qin or not, she couldn't stay out of it. Third brother, even if you can save her this time, but what about the future, what about the future? ”

"I don't care what happens in the future, I just want her to be okay now."

"Third brother, you won't be really, emotionally for her, right?"

Gu Li didn't speak, neither admitting nor denying it.

Gu Chenyu and Gu Li have been together for so long, how can they not understand him, Gu Li's silence at the moment is his answer.

"Third brother, how can you be emotional before you achieve your great cause? Do you know that the most taboo thing for people who become big things is the word love? Once a person has feelings, it is equivalent to a soft place for hard armor, and it will be attacked by everyone. And when it comes to you, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. Third brother, stop it, it won't do you or her any benefit if it goes on like this. Gu Chenyu said bitterly.

Gu Li hooked his lips and smiled bitterly, he didn't know this truth, he didn't think about control, he thought about suppressing, but the more he suppressed, the bigger the rebound. He used to play with countless people's hearts in the palm of his hand, and sneered at the love and love of the world, but now when it came to himself, he realized that this feeling was so out of control.

"I'll leave the affairs of Jingzhong to you first." With that, he took out the clothes and mask he had prepared and walked away.

"Third brother, you come back, I know you heard, you can't go!" Gu Chenyu chased into the yard and shouted.

The only answer to his question was silence and the occasional chirping of birds and insects.

…………

Mu Qianxia has never been a person who sits idly by, and she never thought of waiting for Gu Li to come to save her, even if she clearly understood that these people were holding him hostage for Gu Li!

Taking off her thick and wet coat, Mu Qianxia roughly wiped the water on her body with the quilt, and put on the coarse linen clothes that the other party had prepared for her. The clothes are new and there are no traces of wearing, but they are men's styles, very wide, Mu Qianxia had to pull a rope from the soaked clothes to tie the hem and trouser hem, so as not to accidentally fall off the clothes.

After changing clothes, Mu Qianxia wiped her hair casually, and the cotton wool in the quilt didn't know how long it took to take it, it dried and hardened quickly, and it didn't absorb water at all.

Although there was light in this cave and a large brazier around it, it was still very cold, and Mu Qianxia couldn't sit still at all, so he went to the long, narrow and dark passage with the quilt and sat down against the wall.

After tossing for a day, Mu Qianxia was indeed a little tired, but she didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Mu Qianxia's whole person was hidden in the dark at the moment, even if someone came over, they couldn't see where she was, and as for what she was doing there, no one knew.
