Compared with Amber's leisurely stroll, Li Fenglan panicked. She now realized how stupid she was just now.
She always thought that many things were as she predicted. After all, there were not many people smarter than her in the world. Now, something unexpected happened.
There were indeed a lot of ambushes in the woods. She was very confident in her Qinggong and believed that she could throw off all the pursuers. However, there were countless people ambushed in such a large forest, and voices could be heard from all directions. No matter which direction they broke through, they would be stopped. She walked through the woods for half a stick of incense, successfully disorienting herself.
This is not Chaolan Valley, and she is not familiar with the terrain here.
Not long after, several cuts were made in her clothes. Fortunately, Li Fenglan calmed down quickly enough. She hid behind a big tree and reviewed the current situation first.
"Get rid of them first...how to get rid of them? Where to go after getting rid of them? You didn't discuss with Amber and Zhu Daozhang where to meet, and you rashly believed that you could get rid of the ambush...ah...Li Fenglan, are you an idiot?"
Li Fenglan knelt down and scratched her hair hard. Then she realized another thing: if she made a mistake in the valley, the most she would get would be a beating from Aunt Zhou. If you make a mistake outside, you may die.
Panic and fear, Li Fenglan finally understood that she was just a young girl under twenty years old, how could she have the confidence to be an enemy of half of the world?
The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and Li Fenglan could even hear the enemy's footsteps.
"Li Fenglan, don't panic."
Even though he said this, his hands were still shaking. She stared at her hands and whispered: "Don't shake!... I, Li Fenglan, will not die here!"
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A glimmer of clarity finally flashed through my panicked mind. Yes, at this time, we should not panic.
After weighing the pros and cons of the enemy and ourselves, Li Fenglan thought of a way to break the situation. She took out the bell from her arms - when she entered the woods, she had already taken off the bell that was originally tied to her feet and put it in her arms so that the enemy would not hear the bell - she quickly climbed up behind her Hang the bells on the big tree. He grabbed a handful of stones from the ground, flew them to a tree ten feet away, and hung another bell on it. Finally, she settled on a tree crown not far away, and the dense leaves blocked her figure. In this way, she forms a triangle with the two bells.
She quietly observed the figures in the woods. One, two, three... there were more and more figures. It seemed that the movement just now had successfully attracted them.
Li Fenglan has learned Qinggong from Chen Yi since she was a child. It's not that she has never learned other martial arts, but she can't learn them at all. She has no talent in this area. Fortunately, I learned concealed weapons from Zhou Xiao for a few days. Although it can't hurt anyone, it's accurate and can kill mice when it's close.
For Li Fenglan at this moment, being accurate is enough.
When the ambush soldiers gathered together, Li Fenglan took out a stone, took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought to herself: I must hit it.
Then, throw the stone. She was lucky. Although she didn't hit the bell, she hit the branch with the bell. The crisp bell rang, successfully attracting the attention of the ambush gate.
"Up there!" someone yelled, and after a while, various hidden weapons began to wave towards the tree. When everyone stopped and the woods became quiet again, Li Fenglan threw a second stone and hit the second bell. At this time, the ambushers all ran to another tree.
Li Fenglan saw the right moment, jumped up from the branch, and flew in the opposite direction. On the way, she picked a few branches covered with leaves and hung them randomly on her body. I can't help it, this white dress is too eye-catching at night.
After a while, the noise around her quieted down, but she didn't dare to be careless and ran straight for more than ten miles before stopping at a larger branch.
He sat down on a tree branch, breathing heavily. If it were normal, she could travel more than twenty miles at a faster speed. Now I am so confused that I almost ran away and lost my breath. I am tired and sleepy, but I don’t know where to rest, or even where I am now.
Li Fenglan leaned against the tree trunk with her eyes closed, feeling a little restless.
At this time, she heard the cry of falcons in the sky. This was a normal thing, but she had a vague feeling that she had heard this cry somewhere before.
Not long after, the sound of birds flapping their wings reached her ears. She followed the sound and saw a peregrine falcon circling above her head in the night. She recognized the peregrine falcon, which seemed to fly to Chaolan Valley at a fixed time every year.
"Come to find me?" Li Fenglan was very surprised. She couldn't imagine how this peregrine falcon found her.
The peregrine falcon also spotted Li Fenglan, swooped down, and landed on the branch next to her, then stared at her motionlessly.
Li Fenglan narrowed her eyes and looked at the falcon, and found that it seemed to be biting something. She carefully reached out her hand, and the peregrine falcon actually took the initiative to hand over its head. The peregrine falcon opened its mouth, and an object fell down. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bell. The peregrine falcon flew all the way with the bell in its mouth. This raptor had a strong bite. The brass bell had long been deformed, and the beads inside were stuck, so it made no sound.
Li Fenglan was a little happy: "My bell." This is the bell she hung on her feet when she was a child, and she has always kept it in her little book box. She understood clearly that it seemed that Mo Changfeng sent the peregrine falcon to find her.
Looking at the peregrine falcon again, something seems to be tied to its claws. She reached out and touched the peregrine falcon's claws. The peregrine falcon did not move and allowed Li Fenglan to untie the rope on its claws. There is a small bamboo tube tied to the rope, and there is a note in the bamboo tube. It was too dark to see clearly what was written, so I had to put it in my arms first.
"What did Lao Mo send you to do?" After asking, Li Fenglan felt that she was a bit stupid. Only this flat-haired beast could understand.
Then she shook the bell in her hand: "Can you help me find my bell?"
The peregrine falcon whistled, soared into the sky and disappeared.
Li Fenglan was a little helpless: "Is it possible or not?"
On the other side, Amber was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Miss!" she shouted into the depths of the forest. They had been searching in the woods for two hours just now, and the sky was starting to turn white, and it would be dawn soon.
Zhu Mingyu looked at the scattered footprints on the ground and comforted: "Miss Hu Hu, don't worry. These people didn't catch your young lady."
"how do you know?"
"These footprints are messy. If we really catch your lady, they won't be so scattered. At least there will be some order. Look, there are them in every direction. It's obvious that they have been searching."
"Then what should we do?" Amber's eyes were red, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't come to us, she wouldn't have gotten lost."
Zhu Mingyu looked innocent. The third senior brother was right, don't reason with women. I think of my third senior brother, who was originally a handsome young man. After returning to secular life and getting married, he was bent down by the trivial matters of life, and his reputation as henpecked spread far and wide.
Who provoked the ambush just now? And who insists on staying and fighting? Why is it all my fault?
I had all the complaints in my heart, but I couldn't express them, so I had to say: "Let's look for it again. If you said that your young lady is the best in the world in Qinggong, she will definitely not be caught up."
Amber asked: "Where to look?"
Zhu Mingyu was also in trouble. Yes, the forest was vast, where could he find it?
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and Amber faintly heard the ringing of bells above her head.
"Shh," Amber made a silent gesture, "listen."
Zhu Mingyu also heard the sound of bells. He remembered that Li Fenglan would carry the sound of bells when she walked, but he didn't know where her bells were tied.
Zhu Mingyu pointed to the top of his head: "It's up there."
The two of them looked above their heads, but did not see the bell. At this time, there was a whistle in the sky, and a peregrine falcon swooped down, grabbed the bell in its mouth, and suddenly jumped into the air.
"Peregrine Falcon!" Amber shouted.
Zhu Mingyu secretly raised his thumb, but he didn't even see what kind of bird it was.
"I recognize this peregrine falcon! It often comes to Chaolan Valley! Let's chase it quickly."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Mingyu to comment, he chased after the peregrine falcon in the direction it disappeared.
At dawn, Li Fenglan finally walked out of the forest. The clothes on his body were torn a lot, his face and shoes were dirty, and his body was covered in sweat and felt sticky.
Fortunately, there was a village not far away. She took advantage of the fact that it was not fully dawn and the villagers were not getting up, so she found a family who was drying clothes in the yard, and took a piece of coarse cloth and a bamboo hat - of course, one piece was lost. A little bit of money is enough to buy a cart full of clothes.
Put on a bamboo hat, tear off a piece of that dress to cover her face, and put on coarse cloth so that no one can recognize her.
After asking someone about the direction of Yingzui Mountain, I realized that I had indeed run in the wrong direction. I was now more than fifty miles away from Yingzui Mountain.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the official road. There were no people in this section of the official road and it was relatively quiet. She hadn't had a sip of water since last night, and her throat was so dry that it was almost smoking. There happened to be a tea shed ahead, and Li Fenglan walked quickly.
"Your Majesty, would you like some tea?" The waiter at the tea shed came up to me with a smile on his face.
"A pot of tea, is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, steamed buns with pickles, sir, can I give you some?"
"Well, two steamed buns and a plate of pickles."
Food and drink were served, and Li Fenglan took the time to eat and drink to replenish her strength. Just then, there was a sudden noise on the roadside. She looked up and saw that it was two groups of people arguing. A group of five people rode tall horses, wearing uniform blue and purple costumes. There were only two people in the other wave, an old man and a young man. The old man has white beard and hair and a stooped figure, and he looks submissive. The young man was dressed simply, but he was tall and tall, fair and fair, with a righteous look on his brows and a long sword hanging on his waist.
Next to the two groups of people was an ox cart full of grass. At this moment, the ox cart was lying on the road, blocking the way of these people in purple.
"Old man! Move the oxcart out of the way! Don't get into trouble!"
"Why are you so unreasonable!" the young man said loudly, "We didn't say no! Why do you want to beat people when you come up?"
"Hitting people?" The leader of the purple-clothed man sneered, "If you block the way of the Songshan sect men and ruin their affairs, it won't be an exaggeration to kill you!"
Songshan sect? Li Fenglan was alert. It wasn't this group of people who ambush him last night, right?
The old man stopped the young man who was still trying to be reasonable, nodded and said, "Gentlemen, please excuse me. I really can't help this cow. My house is not far away. I'll call my son here."
"Fart!" The man in purple was furious, "Man, your time is so wasted?!"
