The tiger still maintained the action of attacking people just now, with its limbs spread wide, its eyes wide, and its fangs extremely ferocious. And its size is extremely huge. If it stretches out and stands up like a human, it will be much taller than Qin Zeng. Its big claws alone are as thick as Li Qingyi's legs.
It's just that this mighty and domineering king of the forest has been severely penetrated by an arrow in the head, and the blood seeping out has dyed the word "king" on his forehead red.
Blood mixed with brain fluid seeped out along the arrow body, which was particularly miserable.
Li Qingyi took a closer look at the arrow. The arrow body was made of fine iron and the tail was decorated with carved feathers.
There are two small gilded characters on the tail feathers. It can't be seen clearly from a distance, but Li Qingyi knows that it says "东堂" without looking.
Dongchang's feather arrows are one point larger than ordinary arrows, and their lethality is naturally three points higher, but they also require strong strength to control.
Among them, the feather arrows used by Qin Zeng were thicker and heavier than the ordinary Dongchang feather arrows. They not only had strong penetrating power, but also had a longer range. If the archery skills were not sophisticated enough, he would not be able to use his specially made arrows.
Seeing that she was not in a hurry to leave and was still in the mood to admire the tiger, Qin Zeng couldn't help but laugh angrily, "I really want to dig out your heart and see if it's bigger than this tiger!"
Hearing this, Li Qingyi looked at the tiger and replied very seriously: "How is that possible? This tiger can hold two of me."
Qin Zeng was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He glared at her fiercely and told her to go back first to report that she was safe, then took the reins and walked out of the forest.
Naturally, the tiger had to be carried back as a trophy. Only with the help of several guards could they carry it, and they had to walk through the woods very slowly.
Li Qingyi had an injury on her leg and could not let the horse go too fast. Moreover, she could only sit horizontally with her legs hanging on the side of the horse. Qin Zeng held the reins with one hand and put his arm around her to prevent her from being unable to sit. Fall steadily.
In this way, although the two of them acted intimately, it was still within reason. The guards around them saw it and did not think about anything.
After just walking for a while, the wound on Li Qingyi's leg still oozed blood from the bumps. She felt cold all over as her body lost blood, and her whole face turned a little pale.
Qin Zeng had no choice but to let Li Qingyi hold his waist and lie in his arms to stabilize himself. He then pulled the cloak to cover her while he dragged her calf with one hand to protect her injured area from some bumps. .
Since then, the posture has become intimate and strange, and the expressions of the surrounding guards have become strange.
Li Qingyi felt embarrassed, but his legs hurt too much, so he simply closed his eyes and couldn't see anything.
They just walked all the way, and the guards took turns carrying the tiger forward. By the time they returned to the camp, it was already evening.
After the sun set heavily over the distant mountains, its red light coated the earth with a layer of warmth. Qin Zeng lowered his head to look at Li Qingyi and saw that she was actually asleep.
The messy strands of hair on her forehead were blown by the wind, which made Jiao Ren'er frown and rub her face against Qin Zeng's chest.
Qin Zeng had a strange feeling in his heart. She was very guarded against everything, but she could sleep peacefully in her arms. What did this mean?
"They're back!"
"Sister!"
There was a woman's soft call in the distance. Qin Zeng looked up and saw the anxious-looking Princess An Cheng and Li Miaoran, whose eyes turned into peaches from tears.
Although someone had come back with a safe letter a long time ago, what Li Qingyi encountered was a tiger!
It's always hard to feel reassured when you don't see anyone.
Hearing their movements, Li Yong and Ruan also hurriedly came out of the tent.
The couple stepped forward quickly, but before taking a few steps, they both stopped in place.
This posture...
This atmosphere...
Even strange...
Qin Zeng reined in his horse and moved as gently as possible, protecting Li Qingyi and getting off the horse quietly. Read the book
It was just the noisy environment that made Li Qingyi wake up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her second uncle and second aunt looking at her and Qin Zeng in astonishment.
Others also gathered here because they saw them coming back.
Ruan quickly tugged on Li Yong's sleeve, and Li Yong reacted and was about to step forward.
But the girl is older, and Li Yong can't hold his niece like he did when he was a child, and Ruan can't hold her, so they can't count on Li Miaoran to take action. The family wants to snatch Li Qingyi from Qin Zeng's arms, but they can't, and the scene is a bit deadlocked for a while. .
Qin Zeng said: "She has an injury on her leg. She must not be exposed to the wind. I will carry her into the tent."
Li Yong quickly handed over his hand: "Thank you, Master Qin."
Qin Zeng walked to the door of the tent, lowered his eyes, and suddenly said: "My second uncle, don't be polite."
"!!!"
Li Yong stood on the spot in shock.
Ruan's head was also full of questions, and she asked softly: "What does he mean?"
Princess An Cheng had a noble status and dared to speak. She raised the tent and followed in. She frowned and said, "Qin Zeng, don't take advantage of others!"
Qin Zeng didn't look at her, but looked at Li Qingyi, "Are you willing to marry into my Qin Mansion?"
Li Qingyi was still confused just now, but after hearing these words, he immediately came back to his senses, "What did you say...?"
Qin Zeng said again very patiently, "Are you willing to be my wife, Qin Zeng?"
Li Qingyi's lips parted slightly, a little shocked, but also a little surprised. Why did it come so fast?
Is this the right time?
Don't we have to wait until the Mu family is eradicated?
Thinking in her mind, she spoke, "Is it appropriate?"
"Inappropriate!"
Li Yong gave a sharp shout and strode forward to look at Qin Zeng, "Master Qin, what do you mean?"
Princess Ancheng also frowned and said, "Qin Zeng, Li Qingyi is my savior. If you take the opportunity to bully her, I will never agree!"
Li Qingyi looked at everyone's tense look and wanted to explain, but a servant's loud voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
Everyone who came to the paddock today knew that Li Qingyi and Princess An Cheng accidentally ran into the mountains. For the safety of Princess An Cheng, Li Qingyi gave up the best chance to escape and let the other party climb the tree first, and she Because I missed the opportunity, I was chased by the tiger.
Not to mention this merit, this courage is probably beyond the reach of many men.
When the emperor and empress heard the news of their return, they rushed over immediately.
Everyone quickly saluted.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Li Qingyi how he was injured.
Qin Zeng answered for her: "When I return to the emperor, her muscles and bones are not broken, but her calf was torn apart by the tiger's claws. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover."
"Tear?" Ruan's face turned pale when he heard it. Regardless of whether it left a scar or not, the injury was enough to suffer.
Queen Wang stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Ruan: "Don't worry, I will use the best medicinal materials to treat Yi'er, and she will not leave any sequelae or scars."
Queen Wang affectionately called Li Qingyi "Yier". She was obviously very grateful to her for saving her daughter and planned to reward her heavily.
But how could Mrs. Ruan have the intention to think about this? Looking at Li Qingyi's pale face with blood loss and crying with distress, Li Miaoran stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice: "Sister, do you feel any pain..."
Princess An Cheng felt extremely guilty, "It's all my fault. You had to run the race, otherwise, you wouldn't be injured like this."
A group of women were concerned about Li Qingyi's injury.
The emperor noticed something wrong with Li Yong's expression, "Li Aiqing, do you have anything to say to me?"
Li Yong's face was filled with anger, "Your Majesty, Lord Qin, he..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Zeng knelt down on one knee, raised his hands to the emperor and said, "I sincerely ask the emperor to grant me a marriage."
