Hearing the Guard Captain's words, the people around them tried to avoid them while replying in a low voice. Gong Ming nodded and said weakly, "Guard Captain is right, if they were to say that their target is the Emperor, all of us will die."

The head guard did not expect that Ninth Prince, who normally seemed like a meek and submissive person, would actually be so understanding, and immediately looked at him with gratitude.

He thought that this person would drag him down, and even blame him for his actions. However, it seemed that he had been overthinking.

"This King just took a look at the surroundings and observed their actions. Chief Guard, there are relatively few hidden weapons on the left. My judgement is correct."

Hearing this, Qian Li couldn't help but exclaim in her heart: "Old fox, Gong Ming had clearly already judged all of this beforehand, and saying this now deliberately gave the Guard Captain a chance to show off. Moreover, he took this proper measure, to not arouse suspicion nor to show off too much.

On the contrary, he would be grateful to Gong Ming. If Gong Ming did not say bad things about him after they leave, then this person might be subdued by Gong Ming because of this.

Furthermore, Gong Ming was a prince in the first place. Even though he didn't like to speak normally, he was still part of the emperor's genes. Thus, the captain wouldn't think too much about it.

Sure enough, after hearing Gong Ming's words, the guard leader's eyes lit up, and he said, "This subordinate has seen the map, and is extremely familiar with the entire forest. If we were to head towards that direction, perhaps we would be able to reach the center as fast as possible, no place … There must be a lot of people. "

After saying that, he looked at Gong Ming. "Thank you, Your Highness."

As if he had never been praised before, Gong Ming instantly felt a little unnatural. He waved his hand, his face turned pale as he said, "This king was just speaking without thinking. If not for the Guard Captain, how could This King know that the casual places I spoke of would actually be useful. "

The captain wasn't being modest. In fact, he didn't have time to be modest or to say anything in such a situation.

"All of you, stand at the back. The three of you, stand at the front. You must ensure the safety of our prince. We will move in that direction. "Quick."

With that said, everyone quickly ran towards that position.

With these people blocking the arrows, the journey was quite smooth. However, after they completely ran out, there were only about three or five guards left.

The few of them found a concealed location to temporarily hide, but Gong Ming was still trapped in the pain and was unable to extricate himself.

he said. " These guards died protecting this king, Qian Li, you must help this king memorize them. When you return, ask the guard to give this king a list of names, at that time, make sure their families are properly settled. "

Originally, as guards, protecting their master was their responsibility.

Not only did Gong Ming feel remorse for their deaths, he even thought of settling them down with their families.

It had to be said that after this matter was over, even if Gong Ming himself didn't say anything, the Guard Captain and those people who were still alive would definitely spread the news.

At that time, Gong Ming would have a kind heart and all sorts of good reputations.

It was obvious that the Emperor wouldn't care too much about such matters.

Therefore, Qian Li knew that Gong Ming probably wanted to use this matter to secretly change the impression that he had in everyone's hearts.

He's …

Should they start the tempo of their actions?

Thinking about this, another idea even popped out in Qian Li's mind.

That was …

Was there a possibility that, in order to make himself slowly appear in front of everyone, Gong Ming had been personally designed by everyone?

However, there was no such thing in the previous discussion.

Could it be that everything was a coincidence?

Available...

It was as the imperial guards had said, the royal family's hunting security was tight, how could outsiders be allowed to enter and leave freely?

Moreover, those people were clearly experts. Since they were experts, how could they reveal such a huge flaw?

In addition, she had clearly seen many flaws in those people earlier. She even felt that if those people really wanted to kill them, the few people by her side wouldn't be enough.

What was even weirder was that while those people were clearly skilled in martial arts, they … He did not chase them.

All of this seemed to have been planned beforehand.

They let them go on purpose.

However, with such an obvious loophole, Qian Li was able to discover it. It might not be impossible for him to discover it, right?

Sure enough, the guard captain who had just gotten out of breath raised a question, "Those people look really amazing, why didn't they chase us?"

Qian Li and Gong Ming looked at each other, but did not say anything. Qian Li suspected Gong Ming, but she was definitely not stupid enough to say it out loud.

Perhaps they were worried that there might be a trap here. Besides, the royal hunting grounds have always been heavily guarded, and the activities of the royal family were always relatively hidden.

The guards behind explained in such a cooperative manner that even Qian Li started to suspect that the person was actually Gong Ming's arrangements.

However, she didn't have much evidence, so she could only believe their guesses. Everything was a coincidence …

Hearing this, the captain guard nodded his head, "It's not impossible, there are already many hunting grounds in the royal family. Although such a great competition is held every year, every year when the event starts, the emperor will tell us the exact location. Logically speaking, this sort of thing wouldn't leak out."

After that, the few of them chatted for a while before they continued on their way. However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly stopped because those black-clothed people appeared again.

This...

It was different from what everyone had expected.

Qian Li had even seen the astonishment in Gong Ming's eyes, so it was clear that there was not such a thing in the previous arrangement.

Moreover, if Gong Ming only wanted to use this opportunity to gradually reveal himself, that battle just now was already enough.

Thinking about it, Qian Li suddenly felt that the black-clothed man in front of him was not a group of people …

"Where are you going?"

That person spoke with a voice that was quite different from before.

Qian Li listened carefully. This time, it was even deeper.

Furthermore …

Qian Li realized that there were still some differences on the corner of their clothes.

Her ears moved a few times, and then she grinned. These people...

There were clearly more people than before.

Furthermore, his steps were extremely light. He was as light as a swallow even in a forest where footsteps could be heard so easily. It was practically a piece of work … Something that seemed unbelievable to ordinary people.

My god, this time it's real!

Who exactly was it that had such a huge grudge with Gong Ming, actually wanting to kill him?

Qian Li didn't even have time to think it through, when she saw the black-clothed men standing opposite him immediately rush forward.

This time, no one used a concealed weapon, but their sabre techniques were extremely powerful.

In just a short moment, the group of guards had dispersed.

Qian Li and Gong Ming dodged to the left and right, borrowing the trees to avoid the attack.

However …

If they simply avoided it, how would they know the real purpose of these people?

So...

Qian Li saw that Gong Ming was actually planning to risk his life.

It was too late to communicate with him, so Qian Li saw that the person behind him had moved his sword towards Gong Ming after seeing him alone.

At this time, Gong Ming managed to avoid a person in front of him.

Behind him, Qian Li saw that Gong Ming's ears had moved a little, but he was actually really standing in place without moving an inch.

On the surface, she did not seem to realize, but Qian Li knew that Gong Ming was doing it on purpose.

It was unlikely for Qian Li to let this person get injured so easily. In fact, when Qian Li reacted, she still had not figured out whether or not she should go over.

"No."

She spoke out loudly, and then, without caring about her own safety, she ran towards Gong Ming's position.

Then, she actually used her own body to block that fatal slash from Gong Ming.

When the weapon pierced Qian Li's stomach, the cold feeling instantly spread throughout her entire body. It was also at this moment that Qian Li realized what she had just done.

But she could not understand why she had done so.

Gong Ming looked like he couldn't understand either. He turned around suddenly and caught hold of Qian Li's body. Qian Li, why are you doing this? "

"Because... We are friends. If there are difficulties, of course we have to face them together. " After saying that, Qian Li seemed to have noticed that Gong Ming was stunned, but the Qian Li at this time did not think much about it.
