The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xiqi felt relieved a little. It was just a wild dog. He could just drive it away with a fire and a stone.

It saw that Li Xiying had discovered it, but it did not show any fear. It pounced towards her with its teeth bared.

Although she had a dagger to protect herself, she was still afraid that the wild dog would hurt her skin, so she quickly stoked a fire nearby, picked out a burning log and held it in front of her to drive the dog away.

Seeing the torch, it became a little scared and stopped, not daring to move forward.

It was spotted all over, skinny, with sharp fangs and drooling mouth. It looked hungry and had no food. Seeing that it was alone, I had to bully it. Otherwise, wild dogs would not easily approach humans unless they occupied its territory...

At this time, it was afraid of the torches, so it did not pounce on us, nor did it choose to go back and hide beside the haystack in shame. Instead, it slowed down its pace and barked and confronted us for a while.

She held her coat in her arms and did not dare to move, for fear that a wild dog might pounce on her and she would be caught by the dog.

Suddenly it howled twice, and suddenly many eyes glowing green appeared around it.

She looked around and saw that it moved as a group...

She kept moving closer to the fire, adding more wood until the flames grew bigger and there was no more wood to add.

Although she kept looking around for any unusual movements, she could not ignore the fact that they had begun to approach gradually. It seemed that the two howling sounds had made them agree to gradually narrow their range and then try to attack together.

She put down the clothes in her hands, holding the burnt firewood and dagger in her hands. She threw the firewood back, picked up another one, and when she picked it up, she heard the panting sounds of wild dogs from all directions, sticking their heads out.

When she stopped, they slowed down; when she moved, they sped up, so that they soon tightened the encirclement, especially behind Li Xi, there was one with its teeth bared and ready.

At first, I thought it was better to stay still than to move, so I could hold out until the fire burned out. But now they were very close, ready to go. Now it was like an arrow with a full bow, impossible to pull back...

The horses nearby seemed to be in trouble. They found that the horse was tied up and did not pose much threat. They also had the advantage of being more numerous, so they split into two groups. One group pounced on it and bit it, while the other group stared at it covetously.

At the same time, one of them pounced on her ankle, another wanted to pounce on her head and even ran up, and the others rushed forward in an orderly manner.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately turned around and waved the torch violently. They were not afraid at all. Even if one of them was burned by the ankle, another one would rush forward. She waved the torch wildly, and at the critical moment, she stabbed the dagger into the head of a wild dog.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the dog with a dagger stuck in its head suddenly retreated.

This angered the others, and they took advantage of the situation to bar their fangs and bite.

Now she was holding the torch and could look ahead, but had no time to look behind, so she could only burn one but not the rest.

Just as she turned around, she saw one of the wild dogs was about to bite her neck. The long mouth of the wild dog suddenly twisted, saliva splashed everywhere, and it was kicked by an external force and immediately fell into the fire.

This kick was too familiar... He had kicked a gangster away in the same way in Fourth Uncle's palace.

A faint breeze blew, and the person who came waved his arms and his clothes flew up, protecting her in front of him. His tall figure blocked her tightly.

The wild dog was so vulnerable that it ran around in the fire. It quickly ran away because of the fierce fire. The others were so scared that they dared not come forward, but still reluctant to leave.

He kicked up a stone nearby, and amidst the flying sand and stones, several stones seemed to shoot directly at the wild dog's green eyes with a purpose, hitting the ground, causing the dog to scream and flee in all directions.

"Are you okay?" Long Qi turned around and looked at her. He saw that she was only wearing a tube top. Her skin was as white as ice and her arms were slender. She didn't seem to have any injuries, but he was still a little worried.

Although there are no obvious wounds, I am afraid that the wounds elsewhere may not be obvious.

Beside the dying fire, the moonlight enveloped his figure in a small space, and there were also tiny rays of light dancing in his eyes.

She shook her head, still feeling frightened, "You arrived just in time. Fortunately, you were not bitten."

Otherwise, she didn't know whether she would become food for a pack of wild dogs today.

She then trotted to check on the Yanqi horse, and fortunately the horse was not injured.

Long Qi took off his outer robe and put it on her shoulders. He suddenly glanced at her, and his ears turned slightly red when he turned around.

Li Xiying then realized that her entire shoulders and arms were exposed, but she had covered what needed to be covered, so she didn't feel anything. Sometimes when it was hot in the summer, she would just wear a layer of gauze on the outside.

She then picked up her coat, dusted it off, took off her outer robe and hung it on the rack, then quickly put on her upper garment.

"How come you suddenly appear nearby?" Li Xiying asked puzzledly, taking the outer robe from the rack and handing it to him.

He showed up so timely that one could not help but wonder if he had been following her all along?

"You didn't want me to send you off, so I didn't come." He looked down at her, "But after thinking it over, I still felt uneasy about you. And someone happened to take your maid who fell into the trap back, so I rushed here immediately."

Li Xiying suddenly realized that there was a pair of eyes watching her from beginning to end. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes and said, "Since you are here, why don't you just show up earlier? What are you doing sneaking around?"

She was angry that when she went to take a shower, she thought there was no one around and was not on guard at all!

"I was thinking of secretly escorting you back to Luoyang and then leaving..." He lowered his eyelashes, his cheeks flushed but he didn't want her to see it, but she happened to see it all, "Don't look at it if it's inappropriate. I certainly won't peek at you taking a bath."

Li Xiying held her breath. If he really looked at her, she couldn't dig out his eyes. After all, he was the one who saved her life, and she couldn't turn the tables.

He put his fist to his lips and said softly, "Actually, if there weren't so many wild dogs jumping out to eat you, I wouldn't have bothered you."

"So what?" The implication is that even if you see everything about her, she won't know?

She took a deep breath, thinking that it was meaningless to delve into this further, and then exhaled faintly, and said calmly: "So, my dear, you want to escort me to Luoyang and leave, right?"

Long Qi nodded, picked up the bag for her, raised his hand slightly and gently wiped the stain on her cheek with his thumb.

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then saw the dirty mud on the other person's hands and said thank you.

She looked at the darkness and took a deep breath. "Since escorting secretly is also escorting, it's better not to hide in the dark. You are agile and protected me just now. I can't thank you enough, but next time don't hide and catch me off guard."

"You still think I peeked?"

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something. He lowered his shoulders and drooped his eyelashes. His eyes were filled with a questioning light. He looked directly into her eyes with full confidence: "I am sneaking around and hiding. How can I be such a shameful image in the princess's mind?"

She stepped back slightly again and found that the other party was taking advantage of the situation. She was the one being questioned?

"I'm just stating the events. I don't mean anything else." She raised her eyes and smiled awkwardly, then looked at a fly beside his straight nose and stood on tiptoe to swat it away.

'Snap' it actually collided with his palm.

The warmth from my palms slowly came...

"Hit me?" He laughed.

"I was hitting a mosquito." She spread out her palm and found no trace of mosquitoes, so she peeled off his palm and saw a squashed mosquito stuck in his palm. "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself?"

She took the bag from his hand and asked him to clean the dead mosquitoes from his palm.

Although the night is dark, the moon is low in the sky. After the dark clouds disperse, you can continue walking at night with the help of the moonlight.

She originally planned to take a short rest here, but with so many wild dogs nearby, she didn't dare to stay there any longer.

Long Qi went somewhere unknown for a while, and when he came back he brought back a pile of dry firewood.

"The night is long. You can sleep for a while before continuing your journey. I will keep watch." Long Qi said as he sat by the fire.
