Qian Li and Gong Ming seemed to be walking very casually, but in reality, they were following the route that the two had previously set for them. They needed to go to a relatively hidden place, and that place …

This was a place where they could easily see the movements of the crowd, and it was not easy for them to discover them. As for the so-called prizes and prey, they did not pay attention to it.

Add in...

"Does Your Highness really not need to hunt?"

As a prince, losing prey was actually a very shameful thing.

So, it was no wonder why Qian Li would ask that.

"Yes."

When Gong Ming replied, he was still walking leisurely. They were all leading the horses, but no one rode on them.

"If we need to, isn't it time for us to act?" While they were talking, an elk coincidentally walked past them. Qian Li took out an arrow and was about to shoot it, but she was stopped by Gong Ming.

"It's not like we need to be famous. We just need to wait until the last day and we'll just need to pick a few rabbits."

In that moment, Qian Li felt as if she had discovered something.

She thoughtfully retrieved the item in her hand and slowly stuffed it back into her backpack.

"Your Highness's heart is really big."

"If it were just a little bit, how could it have survived until today?"

"True." Without waiting for Gong Ming to speak, Qian Li continued to ask, "So, what are we doing these past few days?"

"Let's go take a look."

"Hmm?"

"Look at the liveliness, look at the scenery, familiarize yourself with the environment, and train your mind along the way."

"From the looks of it, I've also been enjoying my days with the prince."

"That's right, so Miss Qian Li must properly cherish this rare opportunity."

Qian Li did not say anything, she only lowered her head and continued to walk forward. She had something on her mind, but did not know how to ask.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I …" "Actually, this matter has been in my heart for a long time, and I have always wanted to know."

Gong Ming raised his eyebrows, "I always thought that you were a man of few desires, but in this world, there's nothing that you can be curious about."

Qian Li frowned, and also raised her head to look at Gong Ming with a serious expression, "Do I look like someone who has nothing to do with himself?"

Gong Ming nodded, "It's not just that, but that you are such a person."

"I never knew I wasn't a gossiper."

This slightly naughty tone made Gong Ming somewhat unable to hold back his laughter, but once he thought of a few things, he couldn't smile anymore.

If one day you find out that the person you trust or want to trust isn't someone you should trust, will you still smile at him so brazenly?

However, he was still unable to say these words.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to know?"

Qian Li did not understand, why did the easygoing person suddenly become so serious?

She really wasn't used to such a quick transformation.

"I just want to know, Your Highness and … What is the relationship between Murong Yan, exactly? "

"Between me and Murong Yan?"

Gong Ming felt that it was a little strange, but when he thought about it, Qian Li was originally only a person who was interested in the matters of the Murong Family. It was then that everything was relieved.

He did not directly answer, and continued to ask after that, "Then you have to first answer me, what is your relationship with Murong Family?"

"Didn't you already explain everything to the prince?"

Gong Ming pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on his face, but it was not a smile at all. It was as if he had already seen through everything.

"No, what you've told me isn't everything. Actually, even if you hadn't said it, we both would have known that if the relationship between you two had been this close, you wouldn't have risked your life to do such a thing. After all … Those who die, eventually die. Even if you wash away your grievances, it will not change anything. "

"No …"

Qian Li quickly cut her off, but the anxiousness in her tone puzzled Gong Ming.

"Why are you so agitated for? You're not even a descendant of Murong Family. "

Qian Li did not dare say anything, she bit her lips, and held onto the reins tightly.

"Since Your Highness thinks that there's no use in dead people, then why have you still been protecting Murong Yan's body? And last time, why did he tell Qian Li the location of the Extreme Earth? Does this also mean that Prince has also been paying attention to this matter, or perhaps he is investigating something related to Murong Family? "

Without waiting for Gong Ming's answer, Qian Li continued to ask, "Prince, can you explain? Why are you doing this?"

"Since you are unwilling to answer This King's question, then ask This King. This King does not want to answer either."

Immediately after, the two of them fell into a deadlock, as if as long as one of them did not speak, the other would not speak either.

Fortunately, this sort of deadlock did not last for long.

Soon, the sound of a battle could be heard in the forest.

It was only then that Qian Li realised that while the two were chatting, they had actually unknowingly deviated from their previous route, and their current location was actually … At the furthest corner.

"Be careful!" The previously quiet forest was now filled with countless black-clothed men.

Because Gong Ming was acting as a person without any martial arts skills, in order to not reveal any flaws, he could only shout for help. The guards, who had been following the two of them, quickly joined in.

Qian Li... Same thing.

Although she carefully avoided a few hidden weapons, just as she was about to attack, she was intercepted by Gong Ming.

"Be careful that there are people watching from the shadows."

Just a simple sentence was enough for Qian Li to understand the crux of the matter. And so, it was true, from start to finish, she had not used a single bit of martial arts.

For someone who knew martial arts, this was a type of suffering.

For someone like Qian Li, who liked to move quickly and often led her soldiers to war, it was even more difficult to endure.

"Your Highness, Miss Qian Li, quickly retreat."

Every prince had a guard by their side. These guards were specially sent by the Emperor for the sake of the safety of the princes.

Thus, even though they were heading towards a faraway place, they did not act as if they were going to shake off these people. They only said that they wanted to have a good chat and did not want them to get too close.

Therefore, just as the guard was about to rush over, Gong Ming's shoulder was already injured by the concealed weapon that was flying over.

As for Qian Li. When she pushed Gong Ming away, he also suffered some injuries.

Although their wounds looked as if they were bleeding profusely, the truth was that they had avoided the fatal wounds and only scraped the skin.

"Prince, are you alright?"

Seeing the two injured and desperately hiding behind rocks, the guard was extremely anxious. Not protecting the prince was in itself a dereliction of their duty.

"I'm fine." Gong Ming shook his head, looking at them with fear in his eyes as they opened up the hidden weapons bit by bit.

Trembling, he asked, "How did the Royal Hunting Ground manage to obtain such a thing?"

"I'm not sure about that either. I've clearly already checked it out before everyone arrived. And just in case, there aren't any ferocious animals in the hunting grounds of the royal family."

The guard seemed very anxious. Out of the dozen or so people he had brought with him, several of them had already died.

"My lord, we need to leave this place as soon as possible."

Gong Ming nodded, supporting Qian Li, he allowed the man in front to lead the way, carefully allowing them to protect him as she retreated.

However …

Hidden weapons covered the entire sky and the earth, not showing any intention of stopping.

It did not take long at all for the guard captain to be out of people.

Gong Ming was so scared that his face turned white.

"Looks like we won't be able to get out. Guard, quickly send someone to get reinforcements."

As they spoke, they even cried out for help.

However, this place was too remote, and no one came.

"Who exactly is this person? What is the meaning behind ambushing the royal hunting grounds?"

The person on the other side did not reply. Only a black figure continued to flash by, appearing to be extremely powerful in martial arts.

"Speak, is it a human or a ghost? We should at least make a sound."

The forest was very lush, and the weather wasn't very good today. It looked as if it would rain at any time.

His black body was dashing through the forest, and those concealed weapons were also attacking in succession, causing people's hearts to be in panic.

"Tell us where the Emperor is and we'll let you go."

"The emperor is …" Before he could finish, the one who spoke had already been cut down by the guard captain. He looked at him in flustered and exasperation. "Is the emperor allowed to sell out as he pleases?" "You guys should remember this as well. If you want to live, it's best not to say anything about the emperor's whereabouts. Otherwise, do you think you can still live after you say it?"

"Yes …"
