Chapter 115: Guard

Half an hour later, grassland.

Si Linglong sat expressionlessly on the back of a colt that was almost as tall as her, walking forward at the pace of an old man taking a stroll.

She suspected that the leader was just trying to get her to give up.

Although she had never learned to ride a horse, she had ridden on Brother Ba's back when she was a child, so the height of an ordinary horse was nothing to her.

But Wu Lie obviously didn't think so.

He never taught anyone to ride a horse.

But the children in the Dark Guard Camp were all allowed to ride this kind of horse in the beginning, and Wu Lie thought that this horse was a good choice.

The two of them walked forward in silence, and the atmosphere was very strange for a while.

This is what Gu Qingquan saw when he came over.

It should be said that the first person she saw was Wu Lie.

She had always been impressed by this leader of the Dark Guard Camp, whom she had only met once in Minghua Palace.

But the Dark Guard Camp has always been a mystery. Why would Wu Lie be so brazen in staying with Concubine Lang Gui?

Si Linglong was feeling like there was no point in living, but when she saw Gu Qingquan coming over, she instantly felt like she had seen her savior and her whole face lit up.

"Empress Tsuen!"

Gu Qingquan and Si Linglong had never been close friends. It was just that she received a box of hair growth factor from her last time. Later, she sent someone to ask about it and found out that she was the only one in the harem.

The others all bought it with money.

This was the first time that Gu Qingquan had received such a straightforward gesture of goodwill since entering the palace for so long.

After all, other people generally saw that she had a cold personality and didn't dare to approach her easily.

Seeing her excited look, she nodded slightly and called out, "Lang Guipin."

Then he turned to Wu Lie and asked, "Master Wu, why are you here?"

Wu Lie glanced at the dashing woman sitting on the horse, his eyes narrowed slightly under the mask, and his tone was calm, "I am following the order of your majesty to teach Concubine Lang Gui how to ride a horse."

Gu Qingquan was a little surprised when he heard this.

The emperor ordered it?

That's strange.

"Although it is the order of His Majesty, Lord Wu is a man after all. It is not in accordance with etiquette to teach the concubines in the harem to ride a horse. If Concubine Langgui wants to ride a horse, I can teach her. Lord Wu should go back to the emperor."

Gu Qingquan has always been concerned about Helian Yue's security.

Si Linglong was delighted when she heard this, and nodded hurriedly, "Empress Quan is right, Lord Wu should go back as soon as possible, the Emperor is more important!"

After spending half an hour with this God of Death, Si Linglong felt like she was about to be frozen by the cold aura emanating from him.

Wu Lie listened to what the two said, but he was unmoved. His voice was cold but unquestionable.

"I am following your Majesty's orders and will only follow your Majesty's orders."

The implication is that he will not leave unless the emperor speaks.

Si Linglong felt a headache and looked at Gu Qingquan for help.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Wu Lie said, Gu Qingquan agreed very much, "What Lord Wu said is indeed true. The king's orders must not be disobeyed. This is the way of a subject."

Si Linglong was stunned.

[Sister, are you giving up now?! What happened to the etiquette we agreed on?!]

Then Gu Qingquan continued, "In this case, I will ride with Lord Wu, so that you won't have to criticize me."

Therefore, Si Linglong went from walking alone on a pony to walking sandwiched between two big horses.

Really, there is no need to do so.

As we were walking step by step, there was a sudden noise from the other side of the paddock, accompanied by some panicked shouting.

"Someone come! Protect the driver! Protect the driver quickly!"

Almost at the moment they heard the voice, the three of them looked in the direction of the woods in the enclosure.

[Helian Yue is in danger! ]

The thought had just popped up in Si Linglong's mind, and before she could react, the two people on her left and right had already kicked the horses at the same time. The two figures were like arrows shot from a bow, and in the blink of an eye, they threw her dozens of meters away.

Si Linglong was not angry at being suddenly left behind. She was also concerned about the situation in the forest. She did not care that she had not yet learned to ride a horse. She imitated the other two people's movements and pinched the horse's belly to signal it to run.

Fortunately, although the foal was small, it was very docile and well-behaved, and it immediately ran cooperatively.

Si Linglong was just about to speed up in delight, but when she looked up, she was suddenly shrouded by a huge black shadow, covering the sky and the earth, heading towards her...
