Chapter 269

"In front of you?" Gongsun Li repeated. He looked at the vast mountains and forests in front of him, except trees, and the winding stream was blocked and could not be seen at all.

"You see, although the current season is late autumn, look further. The woods where we are standing are lush and few are dry and yellow, but the yellow and white downstream are piles of dead trees."

i see!

Draw inferences from one instance. It's really smart to infer the water source through the growth of trees!

I don't know if it's because she hasn't climbed the mountain for a long time. She always feels that she can't breathe well today, and people are particularly upset. The weather is cloudy and gloomy. It seems that it's going to rain.

Dark clouds can be seen in front of the naked eye. It should be heavy rain.

”Go back“

Gongsun Li shook his head. "It's not easy to come out and return. Autumn is a good time for hunting. Let's go up and see if we can catch prey and have a good meal in the evening“

This group of people in the dark night are used to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. They have had enough of following the rules in the name of seeing off their relatives this time. How can they go back easily when they finally fly out of the cage like birds in the cage.

As soon as he said he wanted to hunt, several guards were even more excited.

"Don't go. The weather has changed. It's better to go back to the camp earlier..." Yan Qiqi also wanted to dissuade.

Gongsun Li interrupted her, "I have my own discretion. If the crown princess is afraid, she can go back first."

At this point, Yan Qiqi couldn't say anything more. He watched them continue to walk up the mountain.

She stayed where she was and wanted to catch some fish and roast them.

Looking at the figure of Gongsun Li and his party getting farther and farther away, Yan Qiqi decided to make a quick decision. Although the stream seems very shallow, the fish in it are very smart and can't slip. It's hard to catch in autumn.

When she had just finished the trap and was ready to catch fish, she suddenly felt something wrong.

Not far away, the thick cloud became more gloomy, and a few dull thunder sounded from time to time, which was a precursor to a rainstorm.

She began to catch fish faster.

Just a moment later, the stream that had just passed the ankle had covered his lower legs, and the sound of the waterfall not far in front seemed to be louder.

Yan Qiqi jumped wildly in his heart. He didn't care to catch fish. He climbed ashore and tried his best to run up the mountain. While running, he shouted, "Gongsun Li, come back! Danger! "

At the moment, Gongsun Li and the guard are walking in the mountains and forests with light steps. They are looking for prey. There is silence around, so they are particularly sensitive to the surrounding sounds.

In a trance, he heard someone calling himself.

He stopped and listened again. This time, he finally determined that someone was calling him. There were only Yan Qiqi who dared to call him by name and surname in the world.

Fortunately, they didn't go far. Yan Qiqi was panting and didn't spend much time chasing them.

"Come down the mountain with me!"

While urging, Yan Qiqi directly grabbed Gongsun Li's clothes, "go, the mountain torrent is about to break out. It's too late if you don't go again!"

At the moment, the place where they were standing was only more than ten meters away from the waterfall. The running water stirred the boulders, and the splashes hit the people. Gongsun Li lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Qiqi with eager eyes. His eyes seemed to have a dark tide surging.

"Lord, there are rabbits ahead!" The guards couldn't move at the sight of game.

"Follow my orders and go down the mountain!"

Now that Gongsun Li has spoken, the guards can only watch the game fly away from their mouth, unwilling to follow down the mountain.

"Boom!" Three loud noises, and then something unexpected happened.

I saw that the waterfall, which was just a shallow water, suddenly soared half a person's height. The water flowing straight down fell on both sides with the falling flying stones on the side of the mountain. Fortunately, Gongsun Li reacted quickly and flew up. He pulled his big hand around Yan Qiqi's thin waist, turned over in the air, avoided the blow of the gravel and stopped safely on the bank.

As soon as Yan Qiqi stood firm, Gongsun Li took back his hand, gently patted his sleeve twice, and then put his hand behind his back as if nothing had happened.

Just now the clear stream has become turbid. The bodyguards standing in the forest are drenched with the surging water. Although they don't say it, they can't help being afraid.

The place where they had just stood was already tightly packed with falling rocks. If they hadn't walked fast, they would have been buried in the boulders.

The guards were afraid for a while and completely lost their voice.

"How did you know the water level would rise suddenly?" Gongsun Li began to ask again.

But this time Yan Qiqi didn't want to answer him, "Why are you like a curious baby? How do I know it's not important. What's important is that your life is saved."

Gongsun Li's bodyguards were silent. In just half a day, she saved them from danger twice. If the first time was a coincidence, the second time would mean that she really had some real skills.

It's good that Yan Qiqi didn't say this. As soon as he said that Gongsun Liding was in place, there was an invisible dark tide surging in his eyes, and his voice became low, "don't you always want to kill me? Why did you save me? I don't think so. Do you like me? "

Like a ghost!

"Unexpectedly, Lord Gongsun really has more confidence than ordinary people. I saved you because my future husband and I have to rely on you to send us back to the north. There are many jackals, tigers and leopards along the way. Instead of facing unknown dangers, we'd better face what we can see, don't you?"

Gongsun Li once again looked at Yan Qiqi with new eyes. Unexpectedly, she had such courage and insight at a young age. It was really beyond people's reach. If such a woman really became a crown princess, she was afraid that she would be a great threat to the Regent in the future.

It seems that the spirit of the northern kingdom is not exhausted.

"Don't think you saved me this time, I'll let you go." Gongsun Li smiled, his voice as cold as ice.

Yan Qiqi couldn't help sighing. He was really a wolf who couldn't feed well.

"It doesn't matter. Each is his own master and seeks his own blessings."
