Chapter 30
"Qing'er, you don't want to participate this time, just stay here."

Feng Qing turned to look at the queen, her face full of displeasure: "Why, queen, I don't want it."

The queen lowered her voice and said, "Qing'er, be obedient."

After hearing this, Feng Qing remained silent and had no choice but to sit in her seat honestly.

Seeing that everyone had found their companions, Shunde was just about to announce the start when he saw the person Feng Qing was thinking about coming from a distance.

The young man on horseback jumped down and walked quickly towards this side. He was wearing a dark red riding suit, a jade belt around his waist, and a hint of sharpness in his indifferent eyebrows, which made countless young ladies present feel excited.

Pei Qingci did not kneel down to salute, which was a privilege granted to the Pei family by the late emperor.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. The autumn hunting is about to begin. You should also choose a teammate."

Feng Qing just wanted to stand up but the queen held her hand firmly and winked at her.

"Yes." Pei Qingci looked around and didn't see a suitable candidate, so he thought about picking one.

Gu Qingyuan thought for a moment and suddenly stood up: "Master Pei, why don't you and I become partners?"

The girl's black hair was tied high on the back of her head, and the broken hair on her forehead was blown around, revealing a stunningly beautiful little face.

People's eyes flashed with astonishment. Today, Gu Qingyuan has a different look without his fancy clothes.

Xie said disapprovingly: "Jiaojiao, this is a hunting ground, don't mess around."

Gu Qingyuan's eyes rose: "Mom, my daughter's riding and shooting skills were all taught by her father and eldest brother, and there is also Mr. Pei Xiaohou here."

Pei Qingci looked at her with peach blossoms and nodded while everyone was watching the show.

Fu Huaian's hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists. In the end, he said nothing and got on his horse: "Let's go."

Following the order, everyone's horses rushed out like sharp arrows.

On the other hand, Gu Qingyuan and Pei Qingci walked side by side slowly, not in a hurry.

Pei Qingci said nothing with a cold face.

Gu Qingyuan looked at him sideways and asked tentatively: "What, are you angry?"

"No." Pei Qingci still looked intently.

Gu Qingyuan pursed her red lips: "If you don't like me to be with you, I'll just stay away from you in the future."

Hearing what she said, his words suddenly choked up in his heart. In the end, he reluctantly said the opposite: "Miss Gu, you and I are not the same people. From now on... we should have less contact."

Seeing that he didn't even want to look at her, Gu Qingyuan was silent for a long time and only said one thing: "Okay."

Pei Qingci couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hands, but said nothing. The two of them just looked at each other in silence along the way.

Gu Qingyuan was out of breath by the weird atmosphere, so she said something and rode away: "I'll go ahead and take a look."

A whip was struck on the horse's butt, causing the horse to run in pain.

Pei Qingci wanted to chase her, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and just followed her slowly.

I don't know how far I ran, but when I saw that no one was catching up behind me, Gu Qingyuan got off the horse in frustration and walked with the white horse.

Pebbles were being kicked at his feet, damn Pei Qingci!
Suddenly there was a sound of arrows piercing the sky, and two hidden arrows shot straight towards Gu Qingyuan.

Before she could react, Pei Qingci, who was following in the dark, swooped up and threw her to the ground. He picked up the bow and arrow that fell on the ground and shot at the person hiding behind the bushes. The person screamed in pain. It must have been hit by an arrow.

Since you've been hit by an arrow, you can't run away. You just need to look for blood traces for a while. If you dare to stab someone on Qiu Hunt, you're really risking your life.

Pei Qingci helped Gu Qingyuan up from the ground: "Are you injured?" Even he himself didn't notice that his hands were shaking unconsciously.

Gu Qingyuan wasn't too scared, but she still had to pretend to be more or less, and tears started to fall down.The sudden tears made Pei Qingci panic. He thought she was injured and hurriedly wiped her tears: "Where is the injury?"

Gu Qingyuan choked and shook her head: "No...no, I'm just too scared."

Pei Qingci breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He had no doubt that his IQ had dropped at this moment.

Gu Qingyuan's smart phoenix eyes flashed, and there was a smile in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around Pei Qingci's slim waist as if he was taking advantage of her. She didn't expect him to be so easy to deceive.

The girl wiped her tears all over him. Although Pei Qingci was stiff, he still raised his hand and patted her back to comfort her.

Gu Qingyuan wiped away her tears and pushed him away, turning her back.

Pei Qingci was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say I'm not the same person? Why did you save me?" Gu Qingyuan's originally soft voice became hoarse due to crying.

Pei Qingci didn't expect that she was struggling with this, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Seeing that he had not spoken, Gu Qingyuan stood up and left, but was pushed back by Pei Qingci.

"what are you doing?"

Pei Qingci put his hand to her lips: "Someone is coming."

Gu Qingyuan slapped his hand away and concentrated on listening. Sure enough, there were footsteps coming, and there were quite a few people listening.

Pei Qingci lowered her head so that their bodies were almost touching each other, and Gu Qingyuan moved awkwardly.

"do not move."

"Have you found anyone?"

"No."

He raised his eyes and looked quietly to see a group of men in black talking: "Pei Qingci must not be able to go far with Gu Qingyuan as a drag, so keep looking."

Gu Qingyuan, who had just finished crying, looked at Pei Qingci with watery eyes: "I'm looking for you, who have you offended? I went to such trouble to find you."

Pei Qingci shook his head.

Just as the man in black was about to leave, a slight exclamation sounded in the forest.

Gu Qingyuan felt something on her leg. When she looked down, she saw a black snake spitting out its core and clinging to her calf. The huge fear made her scream.

When they reacted, the man in black had already discovered them.

Without any time to think about it, Pei Qingci took her three steps and then two steps to the front of the horse, turned on the horse, bent down and picked her up in front of him, wrapping his strong arms around her: "Sit tight."

The young man's voice rang in his ears, and he galloped out on his horse, his hooves running like a rainstorm, and quickly ran out of the quiet mountain road.

The horse galloped all the way. Gu Qingyuan was not that afraid because of Pei Qingci behind him.

Pei Qingci's long arms were tightly hugging her waist, and when he was about to shake off the man in black behind him, the galloping horse was hit in the hind leg by a sharp arrow coming from the mountain.

In the moment of pain, he had to throw the two people off his back. Fortunately, Pei Qingci had quick eyes and quick hands and rolled down the cliff while protecting the back of Gu Qingyuan's head.

"It's okay, get up quickly."

Gu Qingyuan's face turned pale: "I can't walk anymore. Leave me alone. They are coming for you, so run away first."

Pei Qingci squatted down and lifted up her skirt, only to see that her ankles were swollen and turned purple: "You..."

Without saying much, regardless of her objections, he squatted down in front of her and said, "Come up."
