Meng Shizhao was almost thrown out, but fortunately she calmed down quickly and lowered her body as close to the horse's back as possible.
It's just that the horse exploded wildly after being frightened, and she couldn't be calmed down at all for a while. She felt like her whole body was being thrown around like a lonely boat in a violent storm, as if it was being thrown out at any time.
The horses rushed wildly, and the surrounding branches and leaves were blown all over her body. However, Meng Shizhao was numbed by the strong wind. When she struggled to raise her head, she saw two big trees very close to each other right in front of her eyes, and her eyes widened suddenly. eyes.
Lu Anran urged the horse to chase. After half an hour, she saw the horse turned over in a depression. She quickly jumped off the horse and found Meng Shizhao two or three feet away. She was lying on the ground with her eyes closed. A trail of blood was left on his forehead.
The skin and flesh damage is not that important. I just saw that she was unconscious. I wonder if she suffered internal injuries. The most important thing is whether she was hit on the brain?
Originally, the distance between them was not too far, but after running for a while, they might have accidentally left Nangong Zhi's designated area. Lu Anran gave Meng Shizhao a brief inspection, and frowned when he touched the left calf bone.
External injuries were treated with medicine, but she was not well versed in internal injuries. After checking her pulse, she found that the situation was not as bad as expected, so she called to the horse grazing aside.
Touching the bag on the side of the horse, Lu Anran frowned even more. The loud arrow inside was gone.
After thinking about it, she said to the air: "Wufang, you send Miss Meng back first."
The originally empty place was filled with wind, and a powerful voice fell in front of Lu Anran with no face or expression, "I am only responsible for the safety of the young lady."
"Do you have any sounding arrows on you?"
Unable to take it out, "I brought it with me, but it has the mark of Prince Yun's Mansion."
Each sounding arrow will have its own unique mark when it explodes in the sky, otherwise no one can tell who fired it.
Lu Anran shook his head, "No, you are quick and easy. Go find someone from Qi Shang or Nangong Zhi and tell them that Miss Meng's horse was frightened and fell and she needs help."
Wu Fang didn't move, even if she didn't speak, Lu Anran could already see what she meant.
"I will guard Miss Meng and wait for you here." Lu Anran advised: "Although this place is remote, there are no traces of wild beast activity, so it should be fine."
Wu Fang said without any emotion: "I can't leave the young lady alone."
Normally, he would not be so stubborn if he had no way, but now that he knew that Princess Ding'an had bad intentions, he would not let Lu Anran act alone. Maybe it seems impersonal to say this, but Wu Fang himself is an emotionally indifferent person, and there is no human touch at all.
After a silent confrontation, Lu Anran was defeated first. She couldn't persuade Wu Fang, but she couldn't ignore Meng Shizhao. "With Miss Meng's current condition, it's not easy to move her at will. Any bumps may cause serious internal injuries and bleeding."
Wu Fang thought for a moment and said, "When we came, there was activity in the northwest."
The people still in the woods at this time were either hundreds of soldiers led by the prince or students from Jixia Palace. As long as there were people there, it would be easier to deal with. At least they could send out signals. Lu Anran made a decision immediately.
She first placed Meng Shizhao in a relatively safe place, and then sprinkled a lot of medicine around. Those animals hated this smell the most.
Thanks to Wu Fang's guidance, this section went smoothly. After more than half an hour, I heard someone talking in front of me.
It's just that the candidates who appeared were not very good, there was Du Man, Yang Xue'er, and Xie Yun, who was introverted.
Of course, Lu Anran didn't have time to care about how the three of them met together. Several people across from her were slightly surprised by her sudden appearance alone.
Yang Xueer still looked arrogant, looking sideways at the corner of Lu Anran's skirt. There was a trace of blood on it, "Oh, Miss Lu has gained a lot."
"Do you still have the loud arrows on your body?" Lu Anran ignored the other party's sarcastic words and said calmly: "Miss Meng's horse was suddenly frightened and she fell. She needs to inform Nangong Shaofu to send someone there."
Yang Xueer sneered with unknown meaning, "It's better to stay in the county office and waste other people's time than to show off one or two people."
The words were unpleasant, but she was not slow when touching the arrow. She lit it and threw it into the air. The arrow flew up into the air and made a sharp whistle, then exploded into a gorgeous flower.
It’s just this color…
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Anran's eyes. Did she remember it wrong? Why was it different?
"Didn't you just say that the sounding arrow was lost?" Xie Yun covered her right arm with a painful expression, as if she had been slightly injured.
"I suddenly remembered it again, don't you think?"
"Can……"
Yang Xueer turned around and crossed her arms, "Besides, my life was not in danger just now, how could I waste it?"
"But you..." Xie Yun thought about it, and it seemed reasonable but there was something wrong with it. But thinking about it again, she got wet because of the sound of the arrow falling into the water. Now this one belongs to Yang Xueer, no matter what the other party had hidden it before. Everything is Yang Xueer's freedom, and she has no right to interfere.
Yang Xueer said impatiently: "There is so much nonsense, if you have the ability, you can do it yourself."
Du Man tugged at it and said, "Okay, Xue'er is also afraid that if she lets it go, she will be in danger and it will be too late. Xie Yun, is your hand okay?"
Xie Yun pursed her lips and felt a little aggrieved. She got lost with her companions, and fell into the water and injured her arm. Fortunately, she met Yang Xueer and Du Man, but they were unwilling to send a signal for her. One of them was silent and the other said that the arrow was lost.
To be honest, it’s up to others to help or not, but I feel uncomfortable after all.
Lu Anran's eyes swept over him lightly, and he nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
Yang Xueer snorted coldly: "Who wants you to thank me?" and let Du Man pull her to the front.
Xie Yun, who took a step slowly, raised her head and smiled softly at Lu Anran, "Is Miss Meng okay?"
"I don't know." Lu Anran's eyes fell on her right arm. Seeing that she was trying hard to hold it up with her left hand, it was a bit hindered when she walked. He hesitated and asked, "Can I help you take a look?"
"Uh..." Xie Yun looked at her cold eyebrows outside the brocade mask, and her eyelids twitched uncontrollably when she thought of how neatly she looked at the male body taken out from the bottom of the lake.
Just when she was about to say no, Lu Anran stepped forward, held her shoulder with one hand, and turned it hard with the other. The bones made a crisp 'click' sound, and said calmly: "Okay."
"...Ah!" Xie Yun yelled after realizing it, and slowly turned her arm, "It really doesn't hurt anymore."
Lu Anran: "It's just a dislocation."
Xie Yun also wanted to express some words of surprise and gratitude, but a bright light lit up in the sky in the distance, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"There is a response, they are there." Yang Xueer shouted.
Du Man nodded: "Let's go there quickly."
Lu Anran stopped where he was and said in confusion: "Prince Nangong once said that using the sound of arrows as a signal, they would come to the rescue when they saw it. Shouldn't we wait for them to come?"
Yang Xueer frowned: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? There are so many of us scattered, how can Nangong Shaofu have time to take care of us? Anyway, we are not far away, so we might as well go directly to meet up."
Du Man stepped in and persuaded kindly: "Yes, Miss Lu, if we both rush forward together, it will be faster than waiting."
Lu Anran's eyes were half-closed, and she didn't know what thoughts were in her eyes. Xie Yun came over and said, "Miss Lu, let's go together. It's too dangerous to be left alone, and..." She looked at Du Man and Yang Xueer over there. He glanced at it and said, "Among the four of us, only Du Man still has the sounding arrow, so it would be better to follow her."
Yang Xueer grabbed the riding crop and shook it on the ground, and said in a bad tone: "Whether you want to leave or not, let's leave first."
Xie Yun looked at Lu Anran pleadingly, "Miss Lu, let's go."
Lu Anran raised his head and said, "Yeah."
From the direction where the signal was sent, it seemed that it was not far away, but Yang Xueer and Du Man were walking around in circles in front of them, and they still hadn't arrived there after almost an hour.
the most important is……
Lu Anran's peripheral vision swept around quietly. Even if she was not familiar with the place, she could still feel that they were not going out but were going deeper.
Looking at the backs of Du Man and Yang Xueer walking faster and faster, something flashed through his mind, and he shook his head in the air.
She could let Wu Fang, who was secretly following her, stop her, but she wanted to see what tricks the two men were playing.
"We're here." Yang Xueer, who was leading the way, made a brisk voice.
Lu Anran pushed aside the branches and saw an open space in front of him. It was also full of towering ancient trees and overgrown with weeds, but there was no sign of anyone.
What was unexpected was that an iron net half as tall as a person was stretched out among the trees in front, extending from in front of the eyes to a place out of sight.
"What is this?" Xie Yun looked curiously.
Yang Xueer smiled and said, "Why are you still standing there? People are inside. If you want to come in, come in."
Du Man explained: "Master Shaofu was afraid of any accidents, so he specially asked people to surround this place as a place for rest and adjustment."
Xie Yun suddenly realized: "I haven't heard of it. How did you know? No wonder you walked so fast just now. You knew there was such a place."
Yang Xueer had already opened the secret lock and opened a hole in the iron net. She was standing at the door, "What is your identity? I'll tell you what to do."
Lu Anran walked over, and when he was approaching the iron gate, a question suddenly appeared in his mind——
"Du Man and Yang Xue'er already knew that there was such a place, so why did they bother to fire arrows as a signal just now?"
Suspicion still lingering in her heart, Yang Xueer pushed Lu Anran in, and then quickly hung up the secret lock.
"Yang Xue'er, what are you doing?" Xie Yun first asked in surprise.
Just as Yang Xueer showed a malicious smile, a long sword came straight at her with a cold light. Yang Xueer almost rolled her eyes while holding back her breath, but Du Man reacted quickly and pulled her back.
Forced to retreat with a sword, Wu Fang did not pursue him, but turned around and rushed towards the iron door lock. The end of the sword blade swept a sharp edge, and the blow was so majestic that it seemed to be able to smash the iron lock into pieces.
'Clang' intersects, what is struck is not an iron lock, but another long sword.
The two of them moved very fast, and the two swords were dancing with radiance, flying back and forth in the air, and it was impossible to see how many moves they had made.
As early as a series of changes, Lu Anran was hung in mid-air and her breath had settled. When Princess Ding'an appeared, she finally confirmed that this was the killing move that Princess Ding'an had planned for a long time.
Princess Ding'an's eyebrows were raised, her red lips were curved in a good mood, her chin was slightly raised, she always looked down at her from a high position, and said with disdain like she was looking at an ant: "Miss Lu, you are so nice."
