Not only did the little pony not resist her touch, but it lowered its head as if it was enjoying her touch.
"Hey, little guy, you don't hate me, right?"
She held the little pony's head with a smile, looked into its eyes and spoke. Even though she was so close to it, it did not show any dissatisfaction. Mo Lanyue was finally sure that the little pony would not reject her.
After looking around again to make sure no one was approaching the stable, she pulled the reins and pulled out the only pony that showed kindness to her, and rode on it effortlessly. Since the pony was quite small, she
He grabbed the saddle and stepped on the stirrup. With a little force, he was already on the horse.
"It's not that difficult to ride a horse. If I weren't so short, maybe I wouldn't be despised by those tall horses."
Mo Lanyue, who quietly slipped away on the little pony, muttered in a low voice and headed in the direction where Gu Lieyang and Gu Liege left. It had been a long time since Gu Lieyang left. She didn't want to
She expected to catch up with them right away, but as long as she walked in this direction, sooner or later she would meet them or someone else. She didn't believe that she would be so unlucky that she would get lost in the hunting forest without meeting anyone.
silhouette.
"Third brother, do you think that girl Lan Yue will be able to stay alone? I've been feeling uneasy since we set off, as if something would happen."
In the hunting forest, the two people who had not yet parted ways were chatting without a word. Gu Liege's sudden question hit Gu Lieyang's heart hard. Yes, would she feel at ease being alone?
But Mo Lanyue and Gu Lieyang were also worried about this problem at this time, and he began to regret not agreeing to her request.
It turns out that tying her to his waistband is much better than leaving her alone in the camp.
"Third brother, why don't you speak?"
Gu Lieyang glared at Gu Liege calmly, must he keep reminding him of this difficult problem?
"We will go separately from now on. Although you have no interest in pleasing my father, I still hope that you will not lose too ugly."
The black face sent away the chattering fifth brother, and Gu Lieyang drove a fast horse through the forest alone with a bow and arrow. He tried to focus on the endless woods in front of him and the animals that were most likely hidden behind the trees.
As for Mo Lanyue, now that the matter has come to this, he can only hope that she will listen obediently once. There are too many dangers in this hunting forest, and even he himself is not sure whether he can escape unscathed every time, which is why he doesn't
The main reason why I am willing to take her with me.
Of course Mo Lanyue didn't know what Gu Lieyang was thinking. She was busy looking at the scenery along the way, sometimes marveling at the magic of nature, and sometimes feeling the power of this natural oxygen.
Looking around, there are countless rows of big trees that seem to tower into the clouds. Some tree trunks are so thick that several people can hug them. Such trees must be at least hundreds of years old. In modern times, just pick up a tree.
The trees can be sold at a good price. This hunting forest, which is like a virgin forest, is simply a natural treasure house.
The little pony she was riding on was running at a steady pace, just enough for her to see things on both sides clearly. Mo Lanyue stroked the little pony's mane from time to time and praised, "Little guy,
You are amazing."
The fact that she, a beginner, could be carried stably on her back was enough to prove how docile and lovely the little pony was, as if it already recognized her as its master.
But she didn't know that... the owner of the pony soon discovered that his beloved horse had been ridden away by someone, and was leading people into the woods to look for the horse thief.
The deeper Mo Lanyue walked into the hunting forest, the more she felt that the desolate and human surroundings gave her a creepy feeling. The occasional bird call would startle her a little.
She had watched a lot of survival programs in the wild, and it was not like she had not experienced it herself. However, this hunting forest made her feel uneasy for some reason. Maybe it was because it seemed too old, and she did not have a decent weapon for self-defense.
If she had a pistol on her at this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a problem to let her spend the night in the woods.
The problem is she doesn't!
After walking for a long time, she still didn't see a single figure. Instead, she saw a small snake hovering on a branch, hanging its soft body and spitting out a red message to her. Although it looked non-venomous, she still dropped it.
Chicken skin was all over the ground, and she quickly took a detour to avoid the little snake accidentally falling on her.
Along the way, she saw many small animals, rabbits, squirrels, and even an animal that looked like a small raccoon sitting on the treetops and lazily looking at her, but no one was there.
Mo Lanyue couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She came out with only two pieces of dry food and a bag of water. She thought she would meet someone on the way. She knew three of the princes who participated in the hunt.
This does not include the fat little prince who was resting in the camp. Such a recognition rate made her very optimistic that even if she could not find Gu Lieyang, she could still see the other princes hunting, and then follow whoever they wanted.
Just go back to camp.
"Horse thief ahead! Stop!"
A sudden roar in the quiet forest startled the birds, and also startled Mo Lanyue, who was looking for someone everywhere.
She recognized the situation and didn't even turn her head. She clamped the horse's belly with her legs and drove the horse forward at a faster speed.
Although she was just praying to God that no matter who it was, she would just let her meet someone, but the person who just shouted to her was obviously most likely the owner of the little pony. From the sound of that voice, Ya didn't chase her alone. At least there were people around her.
Following several guards, how could she dare to look back.
"You guys, chase me quickly!"
The person riding a horse with a certain guard and chasing after him was none other than the Ninth Prince Gu Liewei, who had a grudge against Mo Lanyue. That special little pony was originally brought into the palace by his mother to practice riding skills for him.
, he had just practiced, and he got along very happily with the pony, and his riding skills became increasingly proficient, so this time he was allowed to learn hunting skills from his brothers.
Unexpectedly, his horse was stolen on the first day. How could he not be angry? Guliewei glared at the horse thief who disappeared after a few seconds, and pinched his flesh bitterly.
Huhu fisted his fist, and secretly swore in his heart that if he wanted to catch the horse thief, he would beat him half to death to vent his anger.
The accompanying guards did not dare to neglect. They whipped the horse's butt hard with the small leather whip in their hands and drove the horse to catch up. They had superb riding skills. Even if the road ahead was not smooth, they could quickly find out the best and safest way.
road.
It's a pity... what they were chasing was not someone who was as skilled in riding as them. What they were chasing was Mo Lanyue, a beginner. When she got anxious, she just drove the horse to run fast without thinking about the direction at all.
She didn't even care whether there was a cliff or a bottomless abyss ahead. As she watched the green shadows flash past her eyes, she had only one thought in her mind, and that was... if she was caught, she would be finished.
In the hunting forest, Mo Lanyue was still galloping on her horse. Even though there were no pursuers behind her, she still whipped her riding whip with lingering fear.
Until she realized that she might have gone too deep, so deep that she never found a rabbit or other small animals. Instead, she heard the roar of tigers and roars of lions coming from unknown directions from time to time. She felt as if she had entered
It was a beast park, and she could become the prey of other beasts at any time. This was not fun at all. She was here to watch the hunt, not to be watched by the prey.
Mo Lanyue pulled the reins hard to force the little pony under her to stop. Then she looked around carefully. It seemed that there was no obvious path in any direction. Looking back, she found that she was running through the gaps between the trees.
It was only then that she began to thank God. It was lucky that she didn't crash into a tree trunk. She might not have the courage to let her run again.
She couldn't tell the direction, so she could only turn the horse's head and drive the pony in the opposite direction. Even if she might encounter the person chasing her and shouting that he was a horse thief, she could only accept her fate and be caught.
Well, it is better to be a temporary prisoner than to become a dessert for wild beasts.
Mo Lanyue, who had always believed that she was fearless, realized for the first time that she would still be scared. At such times, if she could have someone by her side, she might feel much better.
"yawn!"
Somewhere in the hunting forest, Gu Lieyang was holding a bow and arrow, aiming at a wild boar in front of him that kept touching the roots of a big tree with his nose. The arrow was on the string. Just as he was shooting the arrow, he suddenly sneezed, shook the bow and arrow in his hand, and shot out.
The arrow then deviated from its intended direction.
The arrow flew over the head of the wild boar that was concentrating on arching the tree, successfully interrupting the wild boar's arching behavior, which also led to the failure of his hunting activity.
Seeing that the prey was frightened away, Gu Lieyang cursed in a low voice. He had been lying in wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that a sneeze would easily disrupt his action. But soon he became more irritable, not because of the missing prey, but because of the sneeze.
, reminded him of Mo Lanyue who was left alone in the camp. He couldn't help but wonder if that sneeze was a reminder from God. Maybe he should go back and see if she was safe.
Gu Lieyang turned his head and looked not far away. There were his today's prey, which were a stag, a gray wolf, and a vulture. Among them, only the vulture was still alive. He thought maybe
You can take it back and offer it to Gu Lei, or you can keep it for fun. If you can successfully tame a vulture, it will have many uses.
Counting that he already had a lot of prey today, Gu Lieyang decisively decided to return to the camp immediately to check on Mo Lanyue's condition.
By the time Gu Lieyang successfully brought the prey to the camp, it was already approaching dusk. Most of the princes who went hunting had returned with the prey. Their father even returned to the camp to rest early after hunting a lion.
.
As soon as he handed over the prey to the person who was responsible for counting everyone's hunting results, he went into his tent without bothering to greet Gu Lei. For the first time in decades, he found that a person would actually compare himself to his stern father.
Saying hello is more important.
"Third brother."
In the camp, he saw that Gulege had changed out of his armor, but Mo Lanyue, who was supposed to be waiting for his return, was nowhere to be seen.
