Zhuang Li was still wandering around the barracks. She couldn't sleep, so she hoped to hear the news soon. She was afraid of hearing some bad news. Ge Ya treated her honestly as their relationship deepened. She really didn't want to see anything happen to Ge Ya.

This was the prairie. In addition to the cold weather at night, there were also many animals that caused people to be afraid, such as the prairie wolves. That was a ferocious beast that even the herdsmen who had lived in this land for a long time would have to avoid.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He actually walked into the stable and locked the Ferghana Horse that had caused trouble at the side.

It was the first time that Zhuang Li had seen it so clearly. The wild horse was handsome, with strong four limbs and a well-proportioned and beautiful skeleton. It was way superior than any other horse. It was also the culprit behind Ge Ya's accident this time. Zhuang Li looked at it and realized that it was moving its hooves restlessly as it dug a small pit in the ground. When Zhuang Li walked into the pit, it was not afraid at all. Zhuang Li took another step toward it. It looked at Zhuang Li for a few seconds before it suddenly got off its horse!

This wild horse had already been tamed by Ge Ya!

Then why did it leave Ge Ya and come back alone?

There was only one explanation, and that was that for some reason, Ge Ya couldn't ride a horse.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Li broke out in a cold sweat. So how was Ge Ya now? Did he encounter some danger?

If she, a child who did not understand horses, were to report it to the king, the king would probably not believe it either. Eldest Prince and Third Prince already seemed to be dissatisfied with Ge Ya, so it was impossible for them to beg for their help.

What should he do? How could he convince others of this news?

Zhuang Li didn't care that much as she reached to untie the reins of the BMW. The horse was still kneeling on the ground waiting for her to get on the horse. As soon as Zhuang Li got on its back, it hissed happily and galloped off into the depths of the grassland.

This was the first time Zhuang Li had ridden on her own, and she was so scared that her hands were covered with sweat. Although she was scared to death that she grabbed the reins tightly, because this wild horse was not familiar with carrying people yet and had just been domesticated, it was not as comfortable to sit on as those docile big horses. Even though Zhuang Li thought that she was about to fall off the horse, she still crouched down and learned to ride through the television.

"Horses, horses, go faster! We'll go save Ge Ya!"

It was already late autumn on the prairie, and the cold air was frightening. This little pony was as fast as lightning, and even Zhuang Li could feel the cold wind that was like sharp knives that cut into her face. She didn't care. She just wanted to find Ge Ya quickly and make herself comfortable.

How long had it been on the horse, or two hours? Zhuang Li's horse only stopped after a long time. Although the stars were bright above her head, she could only see the vast grassland. Where was Ge Ya?

Zhuang Li, numbed by the cold, rolled off her horse and sat on the ground, panting.

"Ge Ya!" She shouted loudly, but what answered her was still the emptiness of the plains, the chirping of insects.

Did he go wrong? Without thinking, she turned around and pulled the reins of the small BMW. She stretched out her hand, but it was empty. When she turned around, her back was empty.

Where's the horse!?

This place was a deep reed, much taller than her. Zhuang Li took a step forward, as if she had walked into a huge maze.

Finally, the sound of a BMW came from ahead. Zhuang Li called out, hoping that the horse would recognize her and come to find her. She carefully moved away the plants and walked towards the depths of the grass.

Suddenly, Zhuang Li's feet felt empty. Luckily, she was walking very slowly, so she grabbed onto the reed by her side and didn't fall down. She exclaimed and quickly retreated.

"Little Li?"

Zhuang Li was stunned, almost on the verge of tears from excitement.

"It's me, it's me. Ge Ya, where are you?

She carefully took out a fire piston from her bosom and ignited it, finally allowing her to clearly see that Ge Ya was trapped in the tunnel in front of her.

The tunnel was very deep, and Ge Ya wasn't seriously injured. She just couldn't climb out. The two of them had experienced so many encounters that they couldn't help cheering and sniffling. Only then did they remember that both of them weren't strong enough and weren't tall enough. How were they going to escape this danger?

Zhuang Li pulled up some dry reeds, first starting a fire at the edge of the tunnel, then calling over the BMW that was wandering around the tunnel's edge. The blanket Qing You had wrapped around herself was tied to the saddle, so she could take it off and give it to Ge Ya.

Although Ge Ya was so cold that she couldn't even speak clearly, she could only laugh. This caused Zhuang Li to gradually relax as well.

"?" Li, how is my horse? "

"You are still concerned about horses now, because the military power of your West Cold has all been mobilized."

"Then wouldn't Big Bro's horse this year be uncomfortable? He just wants to show off in front of father, I'm not as good as him! "

It turned out that Zhuang Li wanted to lead the horse and was scolded by Eldest Prince. However, she refused to forgive him and got on the little BMW. However, the horse's character was too fierce. It broke through the fence and ran into the prairie. Ge Ya had no choice but to use all her strength to control the little pony. She didn't expect that after some effort, the colt would become so tired that it would tame it and let Ge Ya manipulate it. Ge Ya was also overjoyed. For a moment, she was too pleased with herself as she walked deeper and deeper into the prairie. She saw that quite a number of wild rabbits were not carrying bows and arrows, so she dismounted and chased after them, falling into the pit.

"Fortunately, you came. I was really unwilling to eat raw food, so I was hungry until now." As she spoke, she grabbed a skinned hare from beside her and tossed it to Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Ge Ya was generous.

"I feel like I can still endure for two more days. If no one comes looking for me within those two days, then I can only eat raw food …"

Zhuang Li had no choice but to clear out a small clearing at the edge of the tunnel with her knife. She also found some hay nearby to start a bonfire, strung up the hare with a reed, and roasted it on top. She made two more fires nearby in case the scent attracted the wolves.

"Don't worry, this is the season when the fat sheep are out of the circle, and the wolves are too busy trying to harm the herdsmen."

Zhuang Li put away her sabre and kept it outside. She was careful, even though she knew it would be useless with her small body if the real wolf came.

Not far away, she found quite a few vines growing on the ground. She tied them up one by one and managed to tie one end of the vines to the horse's reins. The other end was thrown into the pit, Ge Ya tied the other end to her body and Zhuang Li drove the horse to bring Ge Ya out of the pit bit by bit. The moment Ge Ya climbed into the tunnel, the two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The hare was almost done roasting, although the meat was not much, it was still enough for the two of them to eat until they were full. Moreover, the hare meat on the prairie was very delicious.

"I, Second Brother, am extremely powerful. The roast lamb is simply the best. I will definitely let him roast it for you when we get back."

Zhuang Li thought back to the handsome young man with the long whip. It seemed that Ge Ya was extremely dependent on him.

Although he is good at military affairs, he is also greedy for meat and beautiful women. Although Aroma Swallowing City is a slave trade arena which distributes a lot of illegal profits to him every year, royal father wants him to inherit the throne, so of the entire army of West Cold, forty percent is in his hands now. I do not like him, but he is older than me by sixteen years, and he is controlling me from head to toe.

The little pony was nibbling on the grass beside her. It even came over to lick Ge Ya's arm.

"What about you, Second Brother?" Zhuang Li asked

"I, Second Brother, am different. Second Brother is open-minded and open-minded. Although I am not as good at fighting as brother, I love my people and have doted on me since I was young. Therefore, father gave Second Brother a lot of opinions on matters of the people and politics. "

Ge Ya tilted her head and thought for a while. "Moreover, Big Brother looks very dignified, and his heart is also ruthless. Although father didn't say it, but I can feel that father wants to hand over the West Cold to a cold-blooded prince, whether it's to the surrounding countries or to Da Feng. Maybe I don't want to be convinced anymore. " After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhuang Li.

There had been too many disputes between the two nations in the history of the border, some of which were impossible to explain for hundreds of years. Although she did not know what the relationship between the West Cold of this world and the Great Phoenix would be like, she could not escape the conflict and the flames of war no matter what, and in these past few days, whether it was Wang Su or the State of West Cold, both of them had made her realize that the outbreak of this dispute was already far from being able to be resolved.

They ate until they couldn't eat anymore. They made a nest in the reeds and wrapped themselves in the same blanket. The fire didn't start to burn well, but they also breathed heat into their surroundings. It was beginning to feel warm.

"father likes me a lot. No matter how big of a mistake I made, he didn't punish me seriously. Give me the Xiao Imperial Palace, and remember my mother. But I have never seen my mother. I was brought up by Jingshui nanny. She said that if it wasn't for me, she would have long gone to heaven with my mother. The palace maids are a little afraid of me, perhaps because of my mischievousness, but even though royal father does not punish me, he can still mercilessly punish them. "

Zhuang Li looked up at the moon, which was especially bright in the open plains.

"I don't have a father, but I was brought up by my mother. She had raised me very hard, but she had never complained. I also know that she had worked very hard and learned to look at the faces of the people around her."

"Is your mother in the Great Phoenix now?"

Zhuang Li sighed. She had experienced a lot along the way. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"You are my best friend. Don't leave me. If you miss your mother, I will send someone to bring her over from the Great Phoenix, okay?"

Zhuang Li smiled and turned around to look at Ge Ya.

"Don't worry, I'm not going back yet, because I've lost her. I don't know where she is right now, and I won't leave the West Cold until I find some news about her." She gradually closed her eyes and rode so far on her horse. Now she was overcome with fatigue.

"If you need my help, I, Ge Ya, will do my best to help." She took Zhuang Li's hand, even though the latter was asleep.

"Li, sometimes I feel like you're my sister." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes.
