Amei's reaction was not unpleasant, but the black shadow was faster than her.
Seeing the black shadow getting closer and closer, Amei was so anxious that she stopped breathing.
Although Qing Mulan has never been able to become a female general as she wished, she has been keen on fighting since she was a child and has participated in several large and small wars. Her reaction speed is still very fast.
The black shadow came from the right. Qing Mulan was turning her head to look to the left and did not see the black shadow at all.
But she saw Amei’s actions and heard Amei’s reminder.
So Qing Mulan didn't even look back, she grabbed the saddle with her hands, turned over and hid on the left side of the horse.
This is also a common method used by cavalry to deal with bows and arrows.
Hiding on the side of the war horse, you can use the horse's belly to block arrows.
Although this may cause casualties to the war horse, it is better than being hit by an arrow yourself.
However, this method requires very high riding skills. If you don't do it well, you may fall off, and you may even be stepped on or dragged by the horse.
Just as Qing Mulan dodged, an arrow flew out from her previous position.
Amei was relieved when she saw that Qing Mulan was not injured.
After landing, he ran to relieve his strength while turning his head to look in the direction of the arrow.
As soon as she turned around, she saw the second arrow heading straight for her face.
Amei's reaction speed was faster than Qing Mulan's. While tilting her head to avoid the arrow, she also raised her scabbard and knocked it against the arrow.
The arrow originally aimed at Qing Mulan's horse was knocked upwards.
At this time, Amei finally saw clearly, a man in black clothes was hiding behind a big tree dozens of meters away, holding a crossbow in his hand, and was stringing it quickly!
Amei snorted coldly, reached out and took off the short-handled musket hanging from her waist, and fired a shot at the opponent!
Unfortunately, the shortcoming of the musket is that the shooting distance is too short. After the iron sand is sprayed from the muzzle, it will spread in a trumpet shape and fly dozens of meters away. At most, there are only a few iron sands that can hit the assassin, and the kinetic energy has almost been exhausted.
, even if it hits the target, it won't cause much damage.
However, Amei didn't expect this shot to kill the opponent. Her goal was just to prevent the opponent from continuing to attack.
In fact, Amei's goal was achieved.
Although this shot did not kill the assassin, the huge gunshot and the accompanying iron sand still frightened him, and he subconsciously hid behind the big tree.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Amei immediately pulled out the crossbow from her waist, cocked it skillfully, and ran towards the location of the killer.
When Qing Mulan first went to Xihewan, he brought a large group of personal guards with him, but Jin Feng was greedy.
It's not that Jin Feng fell in love with these escort girls, but that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency had just been established at that time and needed women to join and play a leading and role-model role.
And after receiving a female escort, someone also needs to take the lead and train.
Qing Mulan's personal guards have been trained since childhood and are the most suitable candidates.
So Jin Feng said today that Tang Xiaobei had no one to protect him and asked Qing Mulan for one, and tomorrow he said that Guan Xiaorou had no personal guards and asked her for another one.
Not long after they left, these girls were arranged by Jin Feng to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and became female escorts.

In fact, Qing Mulan has long known about the little Jiujiu in Jin Feng's heart, but she also understands that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency needs her personal guards to join the Escort Agency and set an example for other women.
Moreover, these guard girls can join the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and obtain high-level positions. Qing Mulan is also happy for them.
In two years, more than half of Qing Mulan's personal guards were taken away by Jin Feng. Now, including Amei, there are only seven left with her.
After taking over the salted fish factory, Qing Mulan divided the six personal guards except Amei into two shifts, three for the day shift and three for the night shift, in order to train the patrol team. They were responsible for the recruitment, training and factory patrol tasks of the patrol team.
The night patrol team came with Amei today, and three personal guards also came with them.
The ordinary patrol members were still focused on how to control their horses at this time, and only a few of them discovered the killer.
Even if they were discovered, it would be useless. Their weapons were only issued with ordinary sabers, not even hand crossbows, let alone grenades and muskets.
The three personal guards were equipped with hand crossbows.
Although their reaction speed is not as fast as Mei's, it is much faster than ordinary patrol members.
Upon discovering that Amei was running towards the killer, the three of them immediately rushed out of the two others, turned their horses and followed him left and right.
Another person rode his horse and ran to the right side of Qing Mulan's horse to prevent the killer from assassinating Qing Mulan again.
Only then did the patrol members finally react and rein in their horses.
The remaining guards noticed that someone was eager to chase the killer, and quickly shouted coldly: "Everyone, come here, protect the factory director!"
Amei is a master herself. She also has a crossbow, grenades and a musket, plus two personal guards who also carry crossbows and grenades, which is enough to deal with a killer.
These patrol members couldn't even ride their horses steadily, and running after him would only cause trouble. It would be better to let them come over and protect Qing Mulan together.
If there is another hidden arrow, they can help Qing Mulan block it.
In fact, this arrangement of the personal guards is currently the most reasonable. Although the patrol members were confused for a while, they still controlled their horses to approach them.
But at this moment, the guard discovered that Qing Mulan had sat on the horse again, and actually chased him in the direction of the killer.
"Miss, don't chase me!"
The guard shouted anxiously.
But Qing Mulan didn't listen to her at all. While kicking the horse's belly to drive the horse to run wildly, he took out the musket from his waist and began to load it.
Although Amei is an expert, she had just dismounted. After all, two legs could not outrun four legs. At this time, she was overtaken by two personal guards.
Hearing the movement behind him, he turned his head and glanced back.
When she saw Qing Mulan coming on horseback, Amei was a little dumbfounded.
Although Qing Mulan prefers to dance with guns and sticks, and is sometimes impulsive, he is not the kind of reckless person. He also has a better understanding of the overall situation on the battlefield. Why is he suddenly so impulsive today?
"Miss, why are you here?"
Amei didn't have time to think about the reason, so she shouted loudly: "Stop quickly, let's go."
"I'm not chasing the killer, I'm just giving you the war horse! If you run over with two legs, even if you catch up with him, you'll be exhausted. How can you fight him?"
Qing Mulan jumped off the war horse and put the musket into Amei's hand: "You probably don't have time to refill your musket. I have already loaded this one. When I see someone, I can't wait to refill it."
