The driftwood floated through the thread in Shangguan Li's hand and drifted in the direction of the shore.

Eventually, it came to a steady halt on the surface of the lake, about three feet from the shore.

This distance is enough for masters like Shangguan Li and Tang Zi to cross it as long as they give a little help from the other side.

Of course, the other poor contestants shouldn't be able to do it.

Tang Zi pierced the driftwood into it piece by piece, and a rickety wooden bridge gradually appeared on the turbulent water surface mountain.

At this time, the little fat man who was scared out before finally woke up, and the first thought when he woke up was why he was not eliminated in the first place?

Shangguan Li tightly tied the rope twisted into the thread on the round platform, and jumped to the side of the little fat man while Tang Zi signaled to the other side, and said in a low voice.

"Want to go back?"

The little fat man was startled and subconsciously shook his head.

"Oh, no, it's not!"

After reacting, the little fat man suddenly nodded his head like pounding garlic.

"Yes, yes!"

Shangguan Li half-squatted down, skillfully blocked the sight of the tall and thin man next to him with his body, and asked softly.

"What's your name?"

"Huan, Huanxi."

Shangguan Li: "......"

"Does your dad like the name of Huanxi Sha very much?"

"What's that?"

The little fat man looked puzzled.

"No, but I have a sister named Huansha. Does the county lord know about us? ”

Shangguan Li choked.

It's a wordless coincidence.

She asked, shaking her head.

"Look at me, don't turn your head."

"Huh?"

The little fat man was stunned.

"Do you know the guy behind me?"

Huanxi subconsciously wanted to look over, but Shangguan Li stared at him tightly, thinking of what she had just said, the little fat man was blessed to his heart, and he turned his gaze back.

After thinking about it, he shook his head.

"I don't know...... It's quite strange, I know most of the people who came this time, and the only two people I don't know are here...... Hehe, this is the height of the person. ”

He laughed dryly twice with what he thought was humorous.

found that Shangguan Li didn't mean to laugh along, so he immediately put his smile back again.

Shangguan Li nodded.

"Got it, don't say the questions I ask you, I promise you'll be home soon."

Seeing him nod, Shangguan Li stood up and returned to Tang Zi's side. During this time, she didn't see the tall and thin man once.

Maybe it's really not that she's thinking too much, and that person might really have something wrong.

"County Lord, you should be able to go."

Tang Zi reminded on the side.

"Will you go first or will I go first?"

There are different priorities, and each has its own risks. The person who goes first is prone to problems, but because someone answers, the risk is less.

Shangguan Li said casually.

"I'll go first."

"Okay."

Tang Zi did not hesitate at all, took a step back, and guarded the thin rope on the round platform.

Shangguan Li glanced back at the little fat man and gave him an encouraging look.

Then he quietly went on the driftwood bridge.

Like a flying grace, you can almost reach the end of the wooden bridge without your feet touching the water.

Ahead is a place where Zhenhu Stone can't reach, but probably because Tang Zi greeted the people on the other side just now, at least the ever-bright lantern was lit, illuminating a piece of water.

It's much better than being blind in the dark.

Shangguan Li saw the location of the undercurrent clearly, tapped his toes, jumped halfway, and like a dragonfly, he passed by the water and reached the shore steadily.

The people on the shore have basically retreated, and from a distance, you can see the emperor's shelter tent, and there seems to be a line of sight inside, closely following her figure.

Shangguan Li smiled.

Then he looked at the high ponytail that came up.

"You ......"

"The county lord just calls me Qiandu."

Shangguan Li didn't speak.

However, Qian Du's current target is not her, anyway, the task assigned by His Majesty has failed. Naturally, someone will make amends, he just needs to pay attention to the immediate situation and get the unlucky ones on the lake back first.

After he saluted Shangguan Li, he instructed the younger brother behind him.

"Spread the lantern a little further and see if you can ...... it again"

"No need."

Shangguan Li suddenly interjected.

Qian Du's lazy eyebrows moved and smiled.

"Although the county lord has made great achievements, except for Tang Zi, there should be no one who can cross the three-foot water like you. Please go back and rest first......"

As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped.

Because Shangguan Li raised her hand, a thin rope was tightly tied to her slender and white wrist, probably because she was tied too hard, and her movement across the water was too big, and there were already bruises on her wrists.

Her expression didn't change much, and she untied the rope and handed it to Qian Du.

"Just tie it to a reliable place and build a bridge. You guys are busy, I have to find Your Majesty to fulfill his promise. ”

After a step or two, she suddenly turned back and remembered something.

"By the way, there is a little fat man among those people, who helped me once, and was gentle when he brought him over."

With that, she turned and walked towards the sheltered tent surrounded by several layers of forbidden troops.

The little brother behind Qian Du looked at her back, shocked and puzzled.

"Since there are things, why don't you let Tang Zi go first? Wouldn't the risk be greatly reduced? ”

Qian Du pinched the string and looked lazy for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses. Slap the rope into the little brother's hand.

"If you think so much, don't hurry up and do something."

"Huh? Oh. ”

Taking advantage of the younger brother's departure, Qian Du held an umbrella in one hand, stood in place, and looked at the stormy lake.

The other people on the shore may not have seen what happened just now, but he could see it clearly.

Shaoyang Jun jumped into the water and waited for almost two sticks of incense before coming up.

Staying in the water for so long, even a master is bound to be exhausted.

What's even more terrifying is that when you are in the water, you can even think about taking your life ashore together, and you are so calm that you don't look like a normal person.

Standing for a long time, he muttered.

"Lord Shaoyang...... It seems that it is time to update the case file of Scarlet. ”

Shangguan Li didn't see the emperor for the first time, and was stopped by Gonggong Gao when he was still outside the forbidden army circle.

"Your Majesty asked the county lord to change into clean clothes first, so as not to catch a cold."

She nodded, but her body didn't move.

Instead, he suddenly knelt down, raised the half of the red camellia with both hands, and his voice was crisp and calm, penetrating the layers of rain curtains, and there was a kind of power that went straight to people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, Shao Yang has won. Shao Yang wanted to ask His Majesty for a favor. ”

Gao didn't expect her to come out this time, so he said in a hurry.

"County, county lord......"

But Shangguan Lili ignored him and continued.

"I heard that tonight's Thirteen Incense specially launched a new tea called Bing Candle Night Tour, Shao Yang is a tea lover, and he wants to taste it for the first time, so he dares to ask His Majesty to send someone to escort him."
