Mei Ruolan looked at him with bright eyes, confused and deep, as if she wanted to suck him in, and asked in a warm voice: "Zhanran, what should we do?"
Li Muchan smiled: "Young lady is planning everything, why should I talk too much?"
Mei Ruolan frowned and said displeasedly: "We've seen each other again!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "In that case, I will say a few words, Miss is the one who is responsible for the roughness!"
Mei Ruolan rolled her eyes at him: "Say it quickly!"
Life and death can best strengthen friendship. Li Muchan risked his life to protect her, and insisted on rescuing others and protecting her despite his own serious injuries. Mei Ruolan felt close to him and respected him.
Unknowingly, I regarded him as one of my own, and my speech and behavior became much more casual.
However, this does not involve the relationship between men and women.
In her opinion, the relationship between a man and a woman must be about feelings, and the heart must be moved. When seeing him, the heart must beat non-stop, to be considered a relationship between a man and a woman.
Li Muchan was always smiling and teasing in front of Xiao Yuan and Gong Qingyun, but in front of Mei Ruolan, he was as calm as water, and with his plain appearance, he could not tempt her.
Smelling the fragrance and looking at her cheerful and angry face, Li Muchan suppressed his smile and said, "The top priority is to get everyone to wear breast shields and iron headbands."
"Hmm -?... Breast shield, iron headband?" Mei Ruolan frowned and stared at him.
Li Muchan said: "We were in the woods, among all the archers, there was an expert hiding in ambush. He retreated with one attack and ran away far away. I killed all the archers, but I couldn't see him."
"Is he still alive?"
Mei Ruolan Dai frowned and her face darkened.
The reason why I was injured was ultimately due to this arrow. This arrow was extremely powerful. After hitting the sword, my entire arm was numb and couldn't function properly, so I was hit by the arrow.
Li Muchan nodded and said solemnly: "I haven't seen him... I have killed so many archers, and he is also an archer, so he will definitely take revenge!"
Mei Ruolan nodded in agreement, this person will definitely take revenge.
Li Muchan added: "We can't retreat, we can only move forward. The only current plan is to protect ourselves...sending people to get the breastplate and iron headband as soon as possible to guard the vital points."
Mei Ruolan looked at him. He had the ability to control cranes and add fuel to the fire. As long as he didn't hit any vital points, his life would be safe.
Mei Ruolan ordered: "Xiao Yuan, please invite Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhang to come over."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan said softly, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and soon attracted Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhang.
"Miss!" The two of them clasped their fists and stood outside the carriage, on the other side of the bead curtain.
Mei Ruolan said calmly: "Elder Ouyang, Elder Zhang, there is an archery master in the Blue Blood Hall hiding in the dark. Send a few people back to make some heart guards and iron headbands, and send them over quickly."
"A master of archery?" Elder Ouyang stroked his beard and frowned: "Weren't all those archers wiped out by Master Zhanran?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "A master escaped early and will probably come back for revenge."
Elder Ouyang said: "Okay, send someone back immediately!"
He turned around and went back, shouted a few words loudly, and gave instructions, and immediately there was the sound of horse hooves.
Elder Zhang looked at Li Muchan through the bead curtain, stroking his beard and said with a smile: "Master Zhanran has an extraordinary mind, I admire him!"
"Thank you, Elder Zhang." Li Muchan smiled heartily.
Elder Zhang waved his hand stroking his beard: "Oh——, I am not lying. I wonder if I could have done it in my place. You are very good!"
Li Muchan smiled, no longer modest.
Xiaoyuan helped him change into a monk's robe, and Li Muchan got out of the carriage. Although he was a monk, he stayed in the carriage all the time, among the fields and plums, which would inevitably hinder Mei Ruolan's reputation.
The carriage was set up in the outer circle and tents were set up in the inner circle. People were practicing martial arts outside. It was very lively. Yesterday's depression disappeared and the energy was restored.
Seeing him come out, all the guards stopped and saluted him with clasped fists.
Li Muchan clasped his palms together, smiled in return, but said nothing. He walked calmly and slowly walked out into the woods where the fierce battle had been fought.
The breeze blows slowly, and the air penetrates into the lungs, refreshing and cool.
As he walked, he recalled the fighting scene, each scene vividly before his eyes. He stopped from time to time to look at the messy footprints and the wild goose feathers and arrows stuck in the trees.
Scattered on the ground were some bows and arrows, wild goose feather arrows, and patches of black blood, which filled the air with a strong aura of cruelty. It was evident that Li Muchan was chasing and killing quickly and fiercely.
Because they injured Mei Ruolan, the people of Mei Mansion hated these archers and only buried the bodies hastily, not bothering to pay attention to these things.
Li Muchan glanced over these and sighed secretly.
Slowly walking forward, farther and farther, the pine trees turned into poplar trees and cypress trees, tall and strong, towering and straight.
He suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if he had turned into a tree.
In my mind, the scene here reappeared, with black lights flashing blue, weaving into a brilliant arrow network, magnificent and moving.
The arrow network froze in my mind, like a movie frame, and I pressed the pause button.
He traced the arrows backwards through the black lights, analyzing how many archers there were, where the real masters were lying in ambush, and where the arrows came from.
His heart is condensed into two, and he has two purposes. His spirit is strong, so he can do this. To ordinary people, this is a bit incredible.
He comes from another era, and is familiar with movies, television, computers, slow motion, close-ups, and freeze-frames, so he has such creativity. No one in this world would have thought of doing it.
After a long time, he took a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and shining, like the water of a bright lake rippling in the sun.
The clear light gradually faded away, and he came to the foot of a towering tree. He jumped up and landed on a branch. He lowered his head to inspect it and reached out to touch it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and imagined the scene. A man came up to him, quietly, drew his bow and shot an arrow, and then fled away.
Slowly, a vague image appeared in his mind. He couldn't see the face clearly, but he could see the outline clearly.
He is of medium stature, thin, light, and has extremely high qinggong. He also emphasizes on hiding his aura and is sure to hit with one hit. He is similar to the snipers of later generations.
Such a person, like a poisonous snake, steals people's lives silently, which is really a serious danger.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then turned around and went back.
Along the way, he gathered up the scattered bows and arrows, hung more than a dozen bows, and nearly a hundred wild goose feather arrows all over his body, and took them back.
At this time, most of the guards were squatting beside the carriage eating. When they saw him coming, they stopped one by one, greeted him, and looked at him curiously.
Li Muchan smiled heartily, and without stopping, he came to the carriage and put down his bow and arrows.
Xiao Yuan jumped out of the carriage, took a long purple wooden box, like a food delivery box, waved and shouted: "Zhanran, it's time to eat!"
There was a stone next to the carriage. Li Muchan sat down and said with a smile, "What good food is there?"
"I made two dishes, you can try them." Xiao Yuan put down the wooden box with a smile, opened it, and said with a smile: "Elder Ouyang gave me another bag of wine."
There were two dishes in the box, both of which were light, but much better than dried bacon. Li Muchan took the chopsticks and the big bowl, took a sip of wine, and then started eating.
Seeing him eating with gusto, Xiao Yuan was smiling brightly and beautifully.
After dinner, they set off, everyone on alert, and at noon, they arrived at a small town - Paoma Town.
Paoma Town is not big, but it is prosperous. It is the only place you must pass when traveling to and from Jinyang City. There is a main street running from east to west in the town. Most of the streets are restaurants and inns.
They chose an inconspicuous inn to stay, called Jixiang Inn.
In the evening, several carriages hurriedly entered the town and stopped at Jixiang Inn. They found Mei Ruolan and the others, who were the guards of Mei Mansion.
The car was equipped with goggles and iron headbands, which were distributed to everyone one by one.
Although the weather was hot and they felt uncomfortable wearing these, they had no complaints. Compared with their lives, the heat was nothing.
The night was uneventful. The next day, they set off early. Ten carriages lined up in a long line, slowly leaving Paoma Town and heading west.
Horse hooves bang, carriages rumble, dust flies, and the momentum is majestic.
Li Muchan still followed the carriage, and Mei Ruolan asked him to get in. He kept walking, holding a bow in his hand, and kept shooting arrows.
Madoka would come down from time to time and walk with him for a while.
She came down again, wearing a pink Luo shirt. She was pretty and charming. All the guards were envious of Li Muchan. He was accompanied by a beautiful woman and was very lucky.
Xiao Yuan tilted her head and looked at him. After looking at him for a long time, she chuckled and said, "Zhanran, you are so good at practicing bow and arrow, you don't need it!"
Li Muchan didn't say anything, he aimed, shot, then floated out, took the arrow back, then aimed, shot, and took it back again.
Seeing that he ignored her, Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes at him, stamped her feet and yelled: "Zhan - Ran -!"
Li Muchan turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaoyuan, you should also learn it. There are always benefits if you have many skills and don't stress yourself out."
Madoka hummed: "Archery should be practiced from a young age. Decades of hard work are more difficult than internal skills. It's too late for you to practice now!"
Li Muchan smiled, looked confident, and continued practicing.
Seeing him like this, Madoka curled her lips and left boredly, returning to the carriage.
In the carriage, Mei Ruolan was sitting on the couch reading, and Gong Qingyun was practicing kung fu with her eyes closed. Xiaoyuan looked at it and found it boring, so she had to jump off again to accompany Li Muchan.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, but not hot, the air was still fresh, and the official road was bustling with people, and everyone was taking advantage of the cool weather to go on their way.
Seeing their group of people and their extraordinary momentum, people gave way one after another.
"Woo..." A shrill whistle suddenly sounded.
Li Muchan's expression suddenly changed and he pushed Xiao Yuan: "Go in!"
He put away his bow and arrows, frowned and looked ahead. The team had stopped.
Xiao Yuan was startled and asked quickly: "The people from Bixuetang are here again?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't let the lady come out!"
Mei Ruolan's voice sounded, drifting slowly, her voice was cold, calm and calm: "The guards listen to the order, in groups of four, acting as each other's horns, take care of the horses, there is no need to panic!"
Everyone responded in unison, standing in groups of four back to back, drawing their swords out of their sheaths and being on guard.
"Hehe..." Elder Ouyang sneered and said in an indifferent voice: "The people in Bixue Hall only know how to attack and plot secretly. It's really ridiculous!"
"Woo..." Another scream came out.
Li Muchan lowered his hands, closed his eyes, and listened.
Elder Ouyang shouted angrily, flew out like a stream of light, and dived into the woods beside the road.
He came back after a while, his face as dark as water.
"Xiao Yuan, go ask about the situation." Mei Ruolan said, Xiao Yuan responded and ran to the front.
After she came back, she stood in front of the carriage and reported, angrily: "Miss, two people were injured!"
"Is it important?" Mei Ruolan asked.
Xiao Yuan shook his head: "The injury is on the shoulder. Fortunately, Zhan Ran has the antidote, but we can't do anything."
She glanced at Li Muchan, who frowned and said solemnly: "Miss, that should be that person."
Mei Ruolan was silent, and after a while, she said calmly: "Let's go."
The team continues to set off.
But less than a mile away, there was another scream and a cold arrow was fired.
After that, every time they walked for a period of three to five miles, or one or two miles, there would be harassment, and cold arrows would come out frequently, and two people would be shot and injured every time.
After shooting two arrows, he fled far away. Elder Ouyang and Elder Zhang chased him angrily, but their efforts were in vain.
This man's lightness kung fu is extremely high, and the two elders cannot catch up with him.
In one morning, a total of ten guards were hit by arrows, and most of the antidote Li Muchan handed over was used up.
