Su Chen rubbed his temples, sighed, and said: "I'm afraid something went wrong with the hot air balloon. Lao Li and Lao Du... floated away..."
"Let's see where they landed along the way. We have to bring them back."
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Master, from the back mountain to the northeast, there are mountains and woods everywhere."
Su Chen naturally knew this, and he replied with some worry: "Then we have to look for it. It will be dark in a while. What should I do if I wander into the woods and encounter a tiger or something?"
The old housekeeper had no choice but to take the order and go out. According to Su Chen's instructions, he arranged for a dozen villagers to mount their horses and gallop away.
In the blink of an eye, the sky began to turn dark, and His Majesty Li Er and Du Ruhui also floated above Lishan Mountain.
I don’t know if Su Chen’s words were consecrated, but the two of them were in the Lishan Hunting Ground!
At this time, His Majesty Li Er looked a little haggard.
After being blown by the strong wind for several hours, without a sip of water or anything to eat, he was hungry and angry, so it was not surprising that his face would look like this.
Du Ruhui's face was even more ugly.
When he tried to put out the fire on the stove, he sacrificed his coat. After hanging in the sky and being blown away for so long, he was already freezing!
The hot air balloon arrived near Lishan Mountain and floated for a while.
After looking down for a while, Du Ruhui could already tell where the two of them were currently.
He hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that we have really arrived at Lishan Mountain. Look at the front. Isn't that the Lishan Palace?"
Hearing this, Li Ersheng, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, turned around and looked in the direction of his finger.
After briefly looking around for a while, His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "It is indeed the Lishan Palace."
Du Ruhui continued: "There should be people from the Jinwu Guard near the Lishan Palace. Do you want to call them to come to the rescue?"
"Help?"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "How can they save them?"
"Besides, I'm so far away, who can recognize me?"
"Now that the sky is getting dark, no one has discovered this hot air balloon. Otherwise, we might be greeted by a volley of bows and arrows!"
Hearing this, Du Ruhui was immediately choked up and quickly reacted.
The Lishan Palace is a forbidden area for the royal family and is very tightly guarded. If you encounter an unidentified intruder riding such a strange thing, you might shoot them with a few arrows.
If the Huohuan cloth were torn, both he and Your Majesty would be thrown to death.
Thinking of this, Du Ruhui lowered his voice subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, I just saw that the charcoal in the stove is almost gone."
"It looks like we are going to land in Lishan Mountain, which is a good thing."
"If we fall into the city and the people see us falling from the sky, they don't know how much trouble they will cause."
However, His Majesty Li Er looked serious and continued: "Ke Ming, don't be too happy yet."
Du Ruhui was stunned and asked: "Why did your Majesty say this?"
His Majesty Li Er sighed, pointed forward, and said, "Look carefully where we are drifting."
Du Ruhui looked around doubtfully for a while.
This hot air balloon is floating towards the depths of Lishan Mountain. Your Majesty suddenly mentioned this in return?
Suddenly, Du Ruhui's eyes widened, as if he had understood something!
Isn’t the depth of Lishan Mountain the royal hunting ground?!
During the autumn hunting last year, he even came here with His Majesty!
Where are they going to end up?
After discovering this situation, Du Ruhui panicked immediately!
There were many ferocious beasts in the hunting ground. Not to mention others, there were no less than ten light bugs!
The two of them were bare-handed, cold and hungry. What would they do if they encountered each other?
Thinking of this, Du Ruhui instantly stopped feeling cold, and began to count beads of sweat on his forehead again. His mind began to work rapidly, and he began to think of ways to save himself.
If it really fell into the hunting ground, it might as well be floating in the sky!
Glancing at Du Ruhui, whose expression changed drastically, His Majesty Li Er said with some frustration: "Go and see if there is any charcoal left, and let this hot air balloon... float for a while longer."
Du Ruhui nodded and added all the remaining coal.
He didn't want the hot air balloon to float down at all. At the very least, he had to float over the distance to the hunting ground!
However, things always don't develop in the direction he expects.
Under Du Ruhui's keen eyes, the flame in the stove slowly became smaller, and the charcoal fire was about to burn out, and they were still floating within the Lishan hunting ground!
"Your Majesty." Du Ruhui said with a trembling voice.
"Huh?" His Majesty Li Er still closed his eyes to rest.
"The charcoal is almost gone." Du Ruhui continued dryly.
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er stood up, walked forward quickly, raised his head and investigated.
The flame in the furnace was obviously much smaller than before.
Looking further down, the hot air balloon has begun to slowly descend. The situation is exactly as Su Chen said. There is no situation where the flame suddenly goes out and the hot air balloon falls directly.
However, even if they were able to land safely, the two of them did not dare to relax at all, because the real crisis had just begun!
After about two cups of tea, the hot air balloon has reached the ground.
After coming down, the two finally stepped onto the hard ground again.
Although the environment was not very safe, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Flying in the sky is very novel at first, but after flying for a long time, it becomes very unreliable. It is better to stay on the ground.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Du Ruhui asked nervously.
"Walk!"
His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice, and then walked forward quickly.
"Put the hot air balloon here first, let's go out first and talk about it!"
Du Ruhui nodded, followed quickly, and said no more.
When it comes to Lishan Hunting Ground, I'm afraid no one knows it better than His Majesty Li Er.
You know, he arranged for people to let in all the beasts here, including not only big insects, but also other species!
You must return to the palace before it gets completely dark, otherwise it will be really dangerous!
The current location of the two of them is still some distance from the palace.
According to the current speed of travel, it will take less than half an hour.
After walking more than half the distance, His Majesty Li Er suddenly stopped.
Du Ruhui was about to speak when he saw His Majesty Li Er raising his finger and pointing ahead.
Looking in the direction of his finger, Du Ruhui's eyes almost popped out!
Not far away, I saw a big insect with an eye-catching white forehead slowly walking towards it!
We really encountered a beast!
In a panic, Du Ruhui suddenly stood in front of His Majesty Li Er and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, leave quickly! Come and stop him!"
