The horse that Gu Li rode over at that time had long since disappeared, and Mu Qianxia saw that it was still early, so he discussed it with Gu Li, planning to walk back slowly, maybe he could meet someone who came to look for them.

From here, returning to the camp will need to pass through the hunting grounds, and it stands to reason that her royal brother will definitely send someone to search for her near the hunting grounds, after all, she disappeared in the hunting grounds. But Mu Qianxia didn't find anyone along the way, as if no one knew that she was missing.

Mu Qianxia couldn't help but turn his head and ask Gu Li on the side: "You say, doesn't my imperial brother know that I'm missing?" No, he should have sent someone looking for me, right? But why didn't we meet anyone along the way? ”

Gu Li shook his head and said, "I told Shuofeng before I left, if we didn't go back yesterday, he would tell the emperor about you being held hostage, and let the emperor send someone to rescue you."

"So what's going on now? Even if they don't find us, they won't give up so quickly, unless ......"

"Unless someone deliberately obstructs us and doesn't want us to go back alive." Gu Li replied after Mu Qianxia's words.

Mu Qianxia frowned, "Who could it be?" Could it be the Chen family? ”

In her impression, the one she offended the most was the Chen family, especially Gu Li, who also abolished Chen Lan, but for some reason, the imperial brother did not punish Gu Li, so the Chen family must have hated them all in their bones now.

As for whether she had offended others before, she didn't know very well, after all, she didn't have the memory of the original owner.

"No, the Chen family doesn't dare to be so presumptuous now. After all, under the emperor's nose, they still don't dare to kill you and me directly. Because once anything happens to us now, the first thing the emperor suspects is the Chen family, so they won't be so stupid. ”

"Who could that be? Except for the Chen family, I haven't offended anyone else, so that others want to think of ways to kill me? Mu Qianxia muttered to herself.

"Maybe this matter is not aimed at you at all, but someone is coming at me, someone wants me to die, and you are just being implicated by me." Gu Li suddenly spoke.

"You? Could it be the person you offended in the rivers and lakes before?"

Gu Li didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Does the princess remember why I was saved by you at that time?"

"You mean that the mastermind behind this incident is the same person who hurt you before?" Mu Qianxia exclaimed.

Fortunately, Liuli had told her about it before, so she probably knew a little bit about it, otherwise she would have been exposed.

"The princess is so smart, she can understand it at all." Gu Li said with a smile.

“……”

Is this what they're focusing on right now? Shouldn't it be how to get out of here and go back alive? She had just gone through the ghost gate yesterday, and now that she had finally come back alive, she didn't want to go back again.

"Then let's get out of here." Mu Qianxia urged.

"It's too late." Gu Liyun said lightly. According to what he knew about the man, he had been watched by that man's people since they came down the mountain. This time he was careless, he didn't expect that person's hand to be so long that he could reach to Xichu. If no one cooperated with that person, that person would not have been able to grasp his whereabouts anyway, and even among his people there were traitors.

"......" Mu Qianxia couldn't help but secretly sneer, "Is he acting too calm?" ”

Gu Li seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Since the matter has been settled, it is useless to be panicked and afraid, and it makes people see jokes in vain."

As soon as Gu Li's words fell, he heard a whistle, and there seemed to be a strange wind in the air.

Mu Qianxia swallowed her saliva, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously: "Gu Li, are we ...... What animals did you encounter? ”

There was a chuckle from beside him: "yes, I haven't run into wolves."

Mu Qianxia: "......"

Mu Qianxia said angrily: "At this time, you can still laugh." Are you sure we're going to get out of here?"

As soon as the words fell, her waist suddenly tightened, and it was Gu Li who suddenly hugged her waist! Immediately after, her feet left the ground, and Gu Li jumped to the tree next to her with her in her arms.

Gu Li's deep and firm voice came from his ears, "Princess, don't be afraid, no matter what, I will take you back unharmed." ”

Mu Qianxia was shocked and turned her head to look at him. Gu Li's body didn't seem to have any wounds except for the wounds on his hands. But when he fought with his junior brother yesterday, she vaguely saw that he seemed to have been injured by his junior brother.

"You, are you alright?" Mu Qianxia asked worriedly.

"I'm fine."

"Really?" Mu Qianxia said suspiciously.

"Really. I've never lied to a princess. ”

Mu Qianxia thought about it, and it seemed that so far, Gu Li had never deceived her.

Mu Qianxia nodded suspiciously.

Mu Qianxia closed her eyes and stood on the tree looking down, such a height made her feel frightened, and she couldn't help but hold Gu Li's hand tightly.

At this time, the tree was full of wolves, and those wolves were not stupid, and when they saw them coming up, they all targeted this tree.

"Are we going to wait in the trees for them all to leave?" Mu Qianxia asked with a trembling voice.

It was the first time she had seen so many wolves when she was so big. In her previous life, she was in the city, and now she is in the royal family, no matter where she is, it is impossible for her to see so many wolves. It's all a lie to say you're not afraid. She's already trying her best to be brave.

"Nope." Gu Li frowned and said, "If we wait until it gets dark, it will be even more difficult for us to leave." ”

"What's more, this tree is not strong enough, if hundreds or thousands of wolves attack together, it will definitely not be able to support it."

So, he had to go down no matter what.

Although the meaning of his words was not directly spoken, Mu Qianxia understood it inexplicably.

She shook her head violently, "No, we'll just wait here." Maybe wait a little longer, the imperial brother's people will find it, someone will come......" Although she knew that this was a bit self-deceptive, she really couldn't think of any way now.

"Princess." Gu Li spoke helplessly.

But Mu Qianxia didn't give him any chance to open his mouth at all, "You don't want to go down, okay?" "She didn't need anyone to sacrifice their lives for her. Gu Li had already done this once before, and she didn't want to experience that kind of despair again.

"Gu Li, I believe in your ability, if it weren't for my existence, you would definitely be able to get out of here alive. Leave me alone, go first, so that you too can find someone to come and save me. ”

"What nonsense is the princess talking about, I could abandon the princess so much."

Mu Qianxia grabbed Gu Li's hand tightly, and raised her head to look at Gu Li gently.

Gu Li's eyes flashed at the pleading in Shang Mu Qianxia's eyes, and his eyes were full of obscurity and complexity. He turned his head away and said in a low voice, "Princess, just sit here and don't move, hold on to the trunk, and I'll be back soon." With that, he handed her a dagger with a short handle in his arms.

"Don't go ......"

"Good." Gu Li said in a low voice. As he spoke, he rubbed Mu Qianxia's hair with his hand.

Mu Qianxia grabbed his hand tightly but refused to let go, and the pleading in her eyes was enough to see from any slight expression and movement on her body.

Mu Qianxia still didn't give up and said: "Gu Li, you promised me, as long as I don't want to do it, you won't do it." I don't want you to go down now, will you promise me? ”

Gu Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Princess, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my words this time."

This was the first time Gu Li rejected her, but the reason for the refusal was because of her.

Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's eyes like this, such a pray, his heart was faintly unbearable, he wanted to agree to her prayer, he didn't want to see her sad and sad, because his heart would also be slightly painful.

But he couldn't.

He can't wait, and he can't afford to wait.

Maybe someone will show up as she said, but it is more likely that before those people appear, the tree will be knocked down by the wolves below, so it will not only be him who needs to face these wolves at that time, but also her.

Therefore, he did not dare to gamble, and he could not afford to gamble.

He couldn't put her in danger, he couldn't put her in any danger.

Gu Li stretched out her other hand, removed her hand from her hand, slowly placed it on the branch, and said softly, "You have to be more careful, you have to hold on, don't fall down." I'll be there to pick you up soon, don't worry, don't be afraid. ”

Mu Qianxia's fingers still maintained the posture of grabbing his hand just now, her fingertips were deeply embedded in the hard bark, her strength was almost stubborn, but it still couldn't withstand the resoluteness of his attitude.

Gu Li resolutely let go of her hand.

"Gu Li!" Mu Qianxia suddenly exclaimed, watching him jump in front of her like this, watching him enter the encirclement of the wolves like this, and she herself was powerless to stop it.

But Gu Li quickly walked away, far away from the tree she was in, otherwise she might keep hitting this tree during the fight, and if she was not careful, she would hit this tree.

Gu Li is always such a careful person, and he will not leave any hidden dangers by her side.

The wolves were also immediately led over by Gu Li, and the two sides immediately became quite opposed.

It's just that on one side there are people who fight alone, and on the other side there are packs of wolves......

Mu Qianxia wanted to see it, but she didn't dare to look at it, but she still looked at it, which was really an extremely contradictory mood.

Gu Li stood opposite with his bare hands, even in the face of the wolves, his face was still unshocked, and he really did not change his color when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Mu Qianxia looked at the short-handled dagger in his hand, his eyes changed, and he actually gave her the only weapon.

It's all fake to say that I'm not moved, and the inner shock is far deeper than I imagined.

Mu Qianxia watched the scene tightly, and was discouraged......
