Tang Zi pulled the thread and exerted himself slightly.

I could clearly feel a response from there.

Before he could take the initiative to pull someone, he felt the thread in his hand sink, and almost dragged him down directly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly stabilized the next plate.

With the help of this force, the people in the water burst out of the water.

The round platform sank slightly, and there was one more person beside Tang Zi.

"Brother Tang, next time, can you not just pull the things left by others?"

Tang Ziren didn't see it clearly, so he was counted out first.

He looked at the people around him silently, Shangguan Li was dripping water all over her body, her body was still wrapped in a lot of mud and sand, and her long hair was also tightly attached to her face, matching her current face that was really flattering.

Get rid of a water weed spirit that can scare crying children.

"Mom!"

The little fat man on the side lived up to expectations and shouted out first.

Shangguan Li turned his head and bared his teeth at him, and the little fat man suddenly rolled his eyes, and he was directly frightened and fainted.

"County Lord, are you alright?"

Tang Zi recovered from the shock just now.

Others only thought that the county lord had escaped death, but he knew very well that it was an incredible thing to be able to stay in the water with an undercurrent for so long, and not lie down for the first time after coming up.

Shangguan Li took a rough breath, pulled the aquatic plants on his body out little by little, and sat down at the same time.

"I can't die."

Fortunately, in my previous life, I practiced the skills of being able to fight in the water, otherwise this time it would be a bit hanging.

A black handkerchief suddenly stretched out from the side.

Shangguan Li looked at it with his hand.

Tang Zi bent down slightly, his expression looked very uncomfortable, and he probably had never encountered this situation.

"Thank you."

Shangguan Li took it without any psychological burden, and wiped the lake water on his face half-dry. The long hair also stripped to the back of the head.

If you only look at the back, there is a bit of a touching demeanor.

Tang Zi suddenly asked.

"What's going on at the bottom of the lake?"

Shangguan Li said while arranging his hair.

"Well, I'm lucky, I just touched the Zhenhu Stone."

The Zhenhu stone is generally sunk at the bottom of the lake and is carved into the stone of the Rui Beast Qilin. It is said that because the lake does not flow as frequently as the river, it is easy to gather yin qi in order to suppress evil spirits.

The Zhenhu Stone in other places may be in vain, but the ones in the palace are probably really necessary.

Who knows how many unsavory intrigues have sunk to the bottom of this clear lake on a clear and clear day?

Because the site was originally arranged in the middle of the lake, the volume of the Zhenhu stone in the middle of the lake is not ordinarily large. So Shangguan Li easily found this stone.

A piece of the thin thread was wrapped around the stone, and there was a place to borrow strength, so that he could finally be safe and sound in the undercurrent.

This is also the reason why Tang Zi couldn't pull the thin line when he pulled it before.

Tang Zi listened quietly.

"The county lord is for that flower?"

Shangguan Li let out an "um" and took out the red camellia that represented the winner from his arms.

Half of the petals had been swept away by the undercurrent, but the vivid red didn't seem to fade for half a minute, and shone brightly under the faint light of the fire.

"Why else am I jumping off, it's too hot?"

Tang Zi didn't understand.

"Even if there is no such flower, the county lord is already the winner today, and no one will doubt it."

Shangguan Li put away the flowers and glanced in the direction of the pile of driftwood.

His gaze fell on the tall thin man who accidentally dropped the flower into the water before, and when he saw Shangguan Li looking over, he subconsciously looked away.

She smiled coldly.

"Is there really no one to doubt it?"

"What does the county lord mean?"

Shangguan Li shook his head.

"Nothing. Doesn't the rule say that the one who holds this flower and stands to the end is the winner? I'm just in case. ”

As she spoke, she withdrew her gaze.

The expression between his lowered eyes and his eyebrows turned cold.

Tang Zi may not have seen it just now, but Shangguan Li could see it clearly. The camellia was obviously glued to the driftwood by a thin thread at first, but it was the tall and thin man who pulled the thin thread off as if he had no intention of it.

Although Shangguan Li doesn't think of herself as a conspiracy theorist, she has never rejected speculating on others with the most malicious thoughts.

She had no grievances with that person, and there could be many reasons why he did it.

It may be due to jealousy and dissatisfaction with her, or it may be that Feng Sichen or Shangguan Yue's people came to disgust her.

She could laugh it off.

Because it will not affect the final outcome.

But there is still a possibility.

What if that person's actions were instructed by the emperor?

The rules say that it is true that he will stand to the end with this flower, what if the emperor wants to make a fuss about it?

Shangguan Li felt that the emperor really did this kind of thing.

Although Chrysostom said it, the emperor only promised to meet a reward, and did not know the transaction between her and the emperor.

As long as it is not known to the world, to the emperor, such a thing as repentance is nothing.

"County Lord."

Tang Zi suddenly called her.

"Looks like we probably won't be able to go back tonight."

Shangguan Li looked up and saw bright lights on the west side of the shore, and the scarlet man with a high ponytail just now made a few gestures from afar.

Tang Zi translated for her.

"It's too dangerous to say that the undercurrent is too dangerous, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the rain to light up a little more......"

"No need."

Shangguan Li suddenly interrupted him, stood up and said lightly.

"I have a way."

"What?"

Shangguan Li raised his finger slightly, and Tang Zi was shocked to find that there was a thin ripple in the water, although it was drowned by the rain splash in an instant, but Tang Zi was sure that he was not mistaken.

"The Zhenhu Stone in Banshan Lake is really a good thing."

She raised her hand slightly, and a thin line floated out of the water. Even if the undercurrent is surging, the wind and rain are blowing, there is no distortion, but it floats steadily into a line.

If someone can go into the water to take a look at it at this moment, they will find that there is a rope made of several thin wires stuck to the Zhenhu stone, and the other end is in Shangguan Li's hand.

The reason why the undercurrent is dangerous is because it is unpredictable, and once you get into it, you can lose your way at once. And the slightly smaller ships couldn't withstand the whirlpool.

But once you have a clear path, it's different.

Shangguan Li said.

"Tang Gongzi, you should know what to do, right?"

Although Tang Zi was a little concerned that his title had changed from "Brother Tang" to "Prince Tang", he also knew what the most important thing was at the moment.

After nodding, he stretched out his foot to hook up a piece of driftwood, and there happened to be a hole in it that Shangguan Li had pierced before.
