What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 277 - 273: Captured by a Single Call of "Brother

Chapter 277: Chapter 273: Captured by a Single Call of "Brother

Tang Xiaobai’s face flushed red, and she quickly shook her head and waved her hands to refuse: "I can’t, I don’t understand, I’m still a child..."

It’s fine to just remind the young master to be wary of the beauty trap, but if a knowledgeable man could be sent, he might even provide some further explanations.

That’s something she couldn’t do.

"You’re still a child, hahaha..." Mo Huan burst into laughter, "If the Second Miss didn’t mention it, I almost forgot, hahaha..."

Tang Xiaobai wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly noticed the tent door of the young master being lifted as someone was about to exit. She suddenly felt inexplicably guilty and hurriedly tossed a line to Mo Huan: "Then I’ll leave it to you!"

Then she ran off.

The next day, upon setting off, there was a slight change in formation.

The young master... came to travel alongside her...

Tang Xiaobai glanced at him, unable to suppress her guilty conscience.

Did Mo Huan "remind" him last night? What did he "remind" him of? Did he sell her out after "reminding" him?

Otherwise, why did the young master suddenly want to walk with her today? Does he have something to say to her?

But judging from his expression, she couldn’t discern any clues.

Firstly, once he put on a mask, most of his expression was hidden.

Moreover, the young master was always very skilled at managing his expressions in public.

She really couldn’t tell at all...

Just as she couldn’t help but glance at him again and again, the young master suddenly turned his face, showing a questioning look.

Tang Xiaobai awkwardly smiled and tried to appear casual as she asked, "Why didn’t I see you last night?"

After she left last night, the young master did not come looking for her again.

That was unusual. No matter how busy he was, he would usually say a few words to her before bed.

"Something came up last night. Later, when I went to see you, you had already gone to bed," Li Mu said.

So he did come...

Tang Xiaobai felt a brief sense of joy and continued to ask casually, "Something? What was it?"

Li Mu didn’t answer but looked at her with a gaze that seemed to say "you know."

Tang Xiaobai turned her face away, calmed herself, then turned back and still asked casually, "Is it that the military plan has changed? Do we need to change our route?"

"No," he looked equally nonchalant, "It was Mo Huan who wanted to discuss something with me."

Tang Xiaobai’s face flushed red.

Curse this tendency to blush easily!

"I know everything—" he said.

Tang Xiaobai pretended to look at the sky, but inwardly she was in turmoil.

The young master, he really knows it was her...

"If the army is strong, attack the enemy’s general; if the general is wise, cut off his emotions—I know this," Li Mu said.

One of the thirty-six strategies of the art of war, indeed, includes the beauty trap.

"Ah... um..." Tang Xiaobai responded absentmindedly, not quite understanding his meaning, nor knowing how to continue the conversation.

"How could I fall for such a trap?" he said.

His tone was indifferent, but it wasn’t hard to detect his self-assuredness.

Tang Xiaobai finally stopped looking at the sky and turned to look at him: "What exactly did Mo Huan tell you?" She felt as if the main points weren’t covered.

Li Mu’s lips curled slightly as he said, "He said you were worried—"

Tang Xiaobai pursed her lips.

He indeed sold her out.

"You’re afraid I’ll be seduced by that fake mute girl using a beauty trap," he said with a soft smile in his eyes, "Don’t worry, I won’t be."

Tang Xiaobai looked up at the sky again, feeling a bit powerless.

She’s really not being jealous!

Did Mo Huan teach wrong, or did the young master understand it wrong?

"Do you remember, after you interrogated that girl last time, I mentioned using torture, and she pleaded for help from you?" Tang Xiaobai asked.

Li Mu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I didn’t pay attention."

"What if she acts pitiful and seeks your help again later?"

"Why would I care?" Li Mu replied without hesitation and added softly, "I won’t be kind to other women."

Tang Xiaobai blushed again, turning away to look at the sky.

Did Mo Huan teach the right points...

...

Tang Xiaobai thought that the key is in the ability to recognize deceit.

If you can immediately discern the other party’s intentions, then you’ve already won half the battle.

So, did Mo Huan analyze and explain to the young master about the various methods women use to seduce men?

Holding onto this doubt, when Tang Xiaobai witnessed that strange girl—who still hadn’t been named—rushing towards the young master, she chose to move slyly and hide to observe.

She wanted to see how the young master would handle it.

The girl looked as if she had suffered some grievance, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she ran into the young master, then like an arrow off a string, like a wild horse out of control, she charged toward the young master.

Of course, she wasn’t able to charge into the range around the young master.

The moment she was blocked, she knelt down with an exaggeratedly soft gesture.

From Tang Xiaobai’s perspective, it seemed like she was roughly pushed down by the personal soldiers, appearing especially delicate and easy to topple.

However, after kneeling, she didn’t cry at all, but instead, raised her face and called sweetly, "Brother Qin Xiao—"

Tang Xiaobai shivered with goosebumps falling all over the ground.

Yet, this single call made Li Mu, who originally ignored her, stop in his tracks.

He turned his face and looked in her direction.

His eyes, usually pitch-black and cold, briefly flickered with a strange light.

Tang Xiaobai’s heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Isn’t it?

Wasn’t he supposed to ignore it?

Did calling him brother ensnare him?

The girl saw Li Mu stop and was extremely elated: "Brother Qin Xiao, I—"

Before she could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by a sharp whistle.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

...

This was the first time they encountered an enemy ambush since leaving the pass.

Due to the need for immediate assembly, the scene inevitably turned chaotic, and Tang Xiaobai swiftly retreated into her own tent.

She thought about bringing the girl along, but seeing her being taken away by the personal soldiers beside the young master, she said nothing more and quietly withdrew.

When she had memorized Wu Zi’s Art of War halfway, suddenly there was clamor outside.

Just as she dipped her brush in ink, her hand trembled while writing, causing a blot.

With the brush still resting on the ink stain, Tang Xiaobai listened attentively to the commotion outside.

Without even lifting her head, she could feel the fiery light outside suddenly flare up and wildly flicker.

Amid the clamor, she finally caught three words—

"...Mr. Qin..."

"Pa!" Tang Xiaobai dropped the brush and ran outside.

There were many people around, encircling from all directions, but all were left behind one by one.

So Tang Xiaobai hadn’t run far before she saw Li Mu, who had thrown everyone behind.

He wasn’t flaunting himself today, wearing a Xuan Yi black armor, dressed similarly to his Black Armored Cavalry.

The attire was similar, but the person was vastly different.

No matter how darkly he dressed, he would still shine there.

The moment he saw Tang Xiaobai, he stopped his steps, his eyes gleaming brightly.

But in the next moment, the brightness faded completely, and he sagged powerlessly onto Mo Huan, who had been half-supporting him.

"Ah Xiao!" Tang Xiaobai exclaimed and ran up.

Standing in front of him, she raised her hand, trembling, not daring to touch him.

She just stared fixedly at the arrow on his body and the blood gushing from the wound.
