Mo Yan asked with some doubts after looking at the various expressions of everyone.
"What do you mean by that expression!"
Qin Tianlan looked at Mo Yan with a disgusted expression and joked.
"Your lewd ah~~ sound caught us off guard a bit."
A bearded man joked with a smile.
"I'm really impressed that a dignified man of seven feet can make such a enchanting sound~~."
The bearded man's name is Luo Xiyu. He is also a powerful subordinate of the Seventh Princess. The beard on his face seems to have not fully evolved. His face looks fierce, but his eyes reveal a clear sense of clarity. , as clear as water in a creek, without any impurities.
There is a scimitar on his waist, and a small doll toy hangs on the handle of the scimitar. Due to the long time, the white doll has become extremely dark, and it is also impossible to see what the doll looks like. .
Since he has been out killing enemies all year round, there will inevitably be some blood stains on the doll's body. His right hand is wrapped in a bandage, and there are still residual blood stains on the bandage. His armor is not that complete anymore, and his chest seems to have been slashed with a big knife, leaving a strip. The long blade of the knife was exposed, but fortunately it did not cut any flesh, otherwise it would have resulted in death or injury.
A man wearing half a mask raised his eyebrows and joked with the same smile.
"Brother Mo Yan, do you have any other hobbies on weekdays?"
The masked man's name is Zheng Kaixiao. He wears a mask on the left side of his face, but not on the right side. The right eye is bright and shiny, but the left eye is dull and extremely gray.
When he looks at the world with his right eye, it looks like ordinary people, but when he looks at the world with his left eye, the whole world is gray without any color.
Although he was wearing a mask on the left side of his face, it couldn't cover up his burned skin. Because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't put the helmet on, so he didn't wear it. That's why you can see that the root of his left ear was burned and turned into mud. Fortunately, It has scabbed over time and no longer looks so scary.
There is a long sword on his waist. The hilt of the long sword is bent at ninety degrees. He wears the same black gloves on his right and left hands.
A man with a bandage on his right eye patted Mo Yan on the shoulder and explained for his partner.
"Don't mind. They stay at the border all year round and are a little depressed. They like to joke with others and relieve stress. There is no other meaning in their words."
The name of the bandaged man is Xu Yao, and you can hear his kindness and gentleness from his tone.
The reason why his right eye is bandaged is because a wisp of flame accidentally drifted into his eye during a war. Because he failed to receive timely treatment on the battlefield, he became blind. During that war, It was also because of this little incident that I almost died.
Fortunately, he was able to survive that war because he had teammates he could rely on, so he now trusts his current teammates very much, so he will stand up and explain something to him.
Mo Yan would not be annoyed by other people's remarks, he just smiled.
"It's okay, I'm not small-minded and can joke."
He could tell by the tone of their words that they were joking with him. Even if they were not joking, they would not do anything to them. After all, people as weak as ants would not let them talk nonsense. What else could they do? They would not use force. I can only use my words.
Lin Haiyao snorted coldly and said with a mocking tone.
"It's really embarrassing to be able to yell even with such a small injury."
Mo Yan frowned slightly, and didn't know why he was so hostile to her. He had never offended him all the way, and he didn't know why he was so unkind to him, but he didn't take him to heart and said with a smile.
"You know what the heck, you touched the wound unintentionally, and an unexpected pain hit your face. How could you hold back and not scream?"
Ping Xuanlian was familiar with Lin Haiyao's character, so she quickly opened her mouth to smooth things over with an easy-going tone.
"Brother Mo Yan, his character is like this. His words are rather ugly, but his character is still very kind. I hope you understand."
Qin Tianlan was also deeply afraid that Lin Haiyao's rude words would anger Mo Yan, so he walked to Mo Yan's side, put their arms around each other and smiled.
"He talks without thinking. I have known him for five years and he still talks to me like this as always. Don't get angry because of this little thing."
Mo Yan looked at Lin Haiyao, who had an unkind look on his face, waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Don't worry, I'm not small-minded enough to get angry because of a word."
After hearing this, Qin Tianlan also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a funny smile.
"Mo Yan, you are really impressive."
In order not to embarrass Ping Xuanlian, Lin Haiyao didn't say anything more and walked towards the horse with a look of disdain.
Mo Yan looked at his back with a look of helplessness and said.
"It's amazing that he can make friends with a personality like his."
The man wearing a mask on the left side of his face sighed and said helplessly.
"Brother Mo Yan, you have just come into contact with him, so naturally you are not used to his personality."
The bearded man echoed.
"When that ugly boy first came here, we didn't like him, but after getting along with him for a long time, we have become accustomed to him. Even if he doesn't even say a few words to him, we still feel a little uncomfortable."
Mo Yan looked at the bearded man's face. He looked very fierce, but from what Mo Yan said to him, he could roughly guess that he had a pure heart and asked silently.
"I don't know how to call a destined person."
Luo Xiyu patted his chest and cupped his fists.
"I am Luo Xiyu, an inconspicuous guard beside the seventh princess."
Ping Xuanlian interrupted the conversation between them and urged.
"It's already midnight, we need to hurry up, otherwise we will have to spend the whole night in the wilderness."
Although the sun has set and the sky is gradually getting darker, there is still some light to see the road clearly.
Everyone didn't talk too much, and one after another they mounted their horses and galloped along the mountain road.
Deep in the dense forest, the bandits were still on their way back to their nest, and the scarred man had passed out due to excessive bleeding.
The man in black was behind everyone, clenching his hands tightly, as if he was making some kind of difficult decision in his heart. He took out the note given by Mo Yan from his sleeve again, opened it and read every word carefully, fearing that something would be missed. Look, he was dubious and muttered.
"Is what you said in the note true?"
The man in black took a deep breath, as if he had already made a decision, put the note away, and several silver needles appeared in his hand. He looked at the bandit who had walked away and said deeply sorry.
"I'm sorry... the temptation he gave me is too great. Don't talk about me. Even if the young master comes, I won't be able to withstand this temptation."
After saying this, he felt cruel in his heart, gritted his teeth, and many silver needles came out of his hands. Because the bandits had their backs to him, they were also unprepared for him. They all were pierced by the silver needles in the chest and fell to the ground convulsing, spitting out white blood. Mo quickly lost his life.
The man in black slowly walked towards the corpse, squatted down in front of the scarred man, took out a dagger from his waist, lifted the scarred man's head with his hand, and in one go, the dagger cut the scarred man's neck. The scarred man twitched a few times and then lost his life.
The man in black felt deeply ashamed and said: "I'm sorry... I lost my integrity and betrayed the Shadow Pavilion, so I broke off one of my fingers to make up for it."
The man in black didn't hesitate and finished it in one go. He held the dagger in his hand and slashed it. The little finger of his left hand dropped and blood flowed. The pain melted into his heart and his whole left hand was trembling.
The man in black gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He tore off a piece of clothing from the scarred man's clothes. He endured the pain and wrapped the wound. Even if it was wrapped, blood dripped down from the wrapped clothing. Then, The man in black looked up at the rising moon, made a gesture unique to the Shadow Pavilion, and said with a trembling voice.
"Young Master, please forgive me for your betrayal and selfish desires. I have no choice but to do so."
After a long time, the man in black looked back, adjusted his thoughts, took out the note from his sleeve again, and followed the route on the note.
Ping Xuanlian raised her head and looked at the sky, waved her hand to stop, and ordered.
"It's getting late, and the road ahead is gradually unclear. For safety reasons, let's find a wide place nearby and rest!"
Everyone jumped off their horses and went deep into the woods to find a wide area.
The time for a cup of tea had passed, and suddenly an arrow leapt out from the depths of the woods and headed straight for Ping Xuanlian.
Seeing that something was not going well, Mo Yan wanted to take action to stop it himself, but because the arrow appeared suddenly and was extremely fast, by the time Mo Yan could react, the arrow had already approached Ping Xuanlian, and it was too late to take action. He looked nervous, so he had to hurriedly He opened his mouth and reminded.
"Girl...be careful!"
Ping Xuanlian was calm and calm, and with a casual grab, she easily caught the arrow, which was as powerful as a tiger's arrow, and said calmly.
"No need to worry, we're on our own."
Mo Yan scratched his head for no apparent reason, and murmured to himself: "Since... I am one of my own, then I have to worry about it for nothing." Mo Yan looked deep into the woods and said angrily: "Fuck... A waste of my feelings."
Ping Xuanlian took off the bark from the arrowhead, looked at the writings carved on the bark, and said.
"Let's go! She has found a place to stay."
The rest of the people also jumped off their horses, led their horses and followed Ping Xuanlian's pace towards the depths of the woods. Soon they came to a wide place, where someone had already lit a fire in advance.
A woman wearing silver armor is sitting next to the fire. The woman's name is Peng Huimin. Next to her are a black and white bow and arrow and a long sword. The scabbard of the long sword is also black and white. She is cold and cold. The face makes people look aloof and inaccessible. The eyebrows are as firm as a bow and as soft as the crescent moon.
Her eyebrows blend perfectly with the black and white bow and arrow beside her. Although her face is not perfect, she is not eye-catching because of her face, but because of her almond-shaped eyes and eyebrows like bows and moons. She cannot make people fall in love at first sight. , but if you get along with her for a long time, you will fall in love with her.
Everyone tied their horses to the trees and walked towards the fire one after another. They sat down together, as if they were exhausted after a day's journey. Some people lay down and fell asleep.
Mo Yan looked at Peng Huimin, a little curious about her, and asked.
"Girl, why do you need to use arrows to convey the message in such a short distance? It scared me just now."
Peng Huimin gave him a cold look, turned her head and said nothing.
Mo Yan scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"This is too aloof! This is not my type."
After saying this, he turned to look at Ping Xuanlian, whom he had admired for a long time.
Ping Xuanlian tilted her head shyly and explained.
"It's not that she doesn't want to pay attention to you, but she is born unable to speak."
After hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned and immediately apologized.
"Yes...I'm sorry! I...I didn't know you couldn't speak, I'm sorry."
If there weren't so many people, I would really want to give myself two big mouths.
Peng Huimin had no expression on her face and waved her hands to indicate that she was fine.
Seeing her waving her hands, Mo Yan sighed and said with a warm smile.
"Girl, thank you for your forgiveness."
If she didn't forgive herself, she would probably blame herself and be unable to sleep all night.
Mo Yan asked again: "Girl, I would like to ask you what you usually use to convey messages."
Peng Huimin raised her hand and pointed to a tree not far away.
Mo Yan looked up and found that a piece of bark was missing from the tree. He seemed to understand the reason and praised it.
"Isn't that girl's carving skills amazing?"
Among the many swordsmen who can dance swords, few can do this. Whether it is carving or painting on the wall or on the bark of a tree, it is extremely difficult to do.
Mo Yan was surprised, surprised and admired that Peng Huimin could do this. Mo Yan also tried to carve words on the wall. Although he sometimes succeeded, the handwriting was basically crooked and the chance of success was extremely low.
Peng Huimin could only nod in response because she couldn't speak.
Qin Tianlan said with great interest.
"It's not just carving, even carving is no big deal, what do you think!"
No one knew what Qin Tianlan was showing off, as if he could carve with a sword.
Peng Huimin patted Qin Tianlan's shoulder modestly, shook her head, and signaled him to stop talking.
Qin Tianlan understood, nodded, and said no more.
The look in Mo Yan's eyes when he looked at Peng Huimin changed. It was not a look of admiration, but a look of admiration. He really wanted to recruit her into the sect for "someone", but he couldn't do such unethical things as poaching others, and Still in the corner of the person I admired, I sighed and had no choice but to give up this idea.
Lin Haiyao suddenly stood up and said coldly.
"Everyone must be hungry too, so I'll go find some food."
"Wait a minute." Ping Xuanlian glanced at everyone and asked, "Whoever still has food on them, please take it out!"
Everyone also started to rummage and shook their heads, indicating that there was no food.
Qin Tianlan sighed and said.
"I gave the last piece of sesame seed cake to this brat. There is no food left on him."
Mo Yan heard the meaning of his words, stood up, clasped his fists in salute.
"Thank you for your care along the way. It is indeed dangerous to go out to look for food at night. In order to thank you for your care, I, Mo, volunteered to go out to find food for you."
After hearing this, Qin Tianlan thought that he had misunderstood her meaning, so she stood up and explained quickly.
"Brother Mo Yan, what I just said didn't mean anything else."
Mo Yan walked up to him and patted his shoulder, smiling.
"I know you don't mean that. I haven't been able to do anything for you all the way. Going out to look for food tonight is the only thing I can do."
Ping Xuanlian said after thinking for a moment.
"Let Tian Lan and Hai Yao accompany you!"
Luo Xi also spoke.
"Yes! The chance that they will accompany you to find food will be much greater. This way, you can come back earlier, and the chance of encountering danger will be much less. If you encounter danger, you can face it together."
Mo Yan glanced at Lin Haiyao and saw disgust in his eyes, with reluctance on his face.
Since it was Ping Xuanlian who said it, he couldn't refuse. After all, he was dissatisfied with Mo Yan and went to look for food with him. The process of looking for food must not be easy, Mo Yan decisively refused.
"I won't bother you two, I'm enough for you."
Xu Yao persuaded: "As you just said, it is too dangerous to go out looking for food alone at night. If you have someone with you, you can help each other."
Mo Yan thought to himself, "When we go out to look for food, the biggest danger is Lin Haiyao."
Qin Tianlan agreed: "I think that's what they said."
Ping Xuanlian probably guessed why he didn't want them to go together, and said helplessly.
"Hai Yao is indeed dissatisfied with you, but he is by no means a petty person who would play tricks behind other people's backs. I guarantee you."
Mo Yan explained helplessly.
"I have never cared about whether he has any prejudice against me. Night is the time when monsters come out. I don't know what level of monsters I will encounter when I go to find food. If I meet someone with a higher level than them, they will definitely have I can face danger alone, but if I can’t defeat it, I can run away, but what about them!”
Lin Haiyao felt insulted and said angrily.
"What do you mean, you look down on us?"
Seeing this, Mo Yan also looked helpless and didn't want to say anything more to him. How he understood it was his business. If he hadn't been the person next to Ping Xuanlian, Mo Yan wouldn't have cared about his safety.
Ping Xuanlian thought for a moment and warned.
"That's all, you go alone, remember to pay attention to safety."
Mo Yan felt a little happy after hearing this, and a bright smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. After all, he was quite ecstatic to be cared about by the person he admired. He was overwhelmed by her caring words and blurted out.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me before I marry you."
Everyone was in an uproar. Seeing his unwavering expression, they felt that what he just said was not a joke.
Qin Tianlan whispered.
"This brat is so brave! He dares to openly confess his love to His Highness the Seventh Princess. I... really admire him."
Luo Xiyu echoed in a low voice from the side.
"That's right! This is the first time I've seen such a straightforward confession. It's really eye-opening for me."
Zheng Kaixiao also echoed.
"His purpose is not to go to the wilderness, but to seduce Her Highness the Seventh Princess. What a good boy, his purpose is not pure!"
Xu Yao said with a warm smile.
"I think Brother Mo Yan has a very good character. Apart from his gray-faced appearance, everything else is perfect. He is definitely a perfect match for Her Majesty the Seventh Princess."
Everyone looked at Xu Yao. Xu Yao lowered his head in confusion and did not dare to speak any more.
When Ping Xuanlian heard this, she also had a look of disbelief on her face, and lowered her head shyly. This was the first time that she had been confessed so directly, so she was inevitably a little uncomfortable, and her face gradually turned red.
Mo Yan also had a look of surprise on his face. He was stunned and at a loss. He didn't know how he could say such straightforward words. Seeing the way everyone looked at him, he really wanted to dig a hole and bury him. He was so embarrassed. Extreme, hemming and hawing.
"Sorry, what I just said was not intentional. I..."
Before Mo Yan could finish speaking, Ping Xuanlian interrupted and replied shyly.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear anything you just said. You should leave as soon as possible! It will be even more dangerous if it's later."
Mo Yan raised his head and looked at Lin Haiyao, who was standing there and staring at him fiercely. His hands were clenched tightly, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. This made Mo Yan even more confused. He was so friendly among everyone, and his eyes were so friendly. Mo Yan couldn't believe that there was actually murderous intention in his heart. No matter what the reason was, he couldn't show his murderous intention to anyone at will.
Mo Yan probably guessed why he was so dissatisfied with him. He must also be interested in Ping Xuanlian. He sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said in a cold tone.
"I can give in to anything, but there is one person I will never give in to."
Everyone looked confused and didn't know who Mo Yan was talking about, but only Lin Haiyao knew. His fists were trembling with anger, and his anger seemed to be almost uncontrollable, but he didn't dare to do it in front of so many people. After releasing it, I had to forcefully suppress the anger in my heart.
Mo Yan glanced at him, then ignored him, walked towards Peng Huimin, and asked.
"Girl, can you... lend me your bow and arrows?"
Peng Huimin lent her bow and arrows to Mo Yan without hesitation.
Mo Yan originally came to borrow it with the mentality of being rejected, but he didn't expect that she would be so cheerful and thanked her with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Mo Yan stood up straight and cupped his fists at everyone.
"I, Mo, will come back as soon as I go."
After saying this, Mo Yan walked deeper into the woods.
Ping Xuanlian raised her head and looked at Mo Yan's retreating figure. Her eyes revealed confusion. The thoughts in her mind were turbulent. Her eyes slowly became blurred and she gradually fell into deep thought. The rosy color on her face was still there. .
Qin Tianlan glanced at Ping Xuanlian who was in a daze, smiled and said to Luo Xiyu beside him.
"Look... Your Highness, the Seventh Princess, is sinking."
Luo Xiyu looked up and saw that her rosy face showed a sweet smile from time to time, with an aunt's smile on her face, and she murmured in a low voice.
"Really, there has never been a person who can make Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess so obsessed with him. This brat really has some abilities."
Qin Tianlan thought for a while and said excitedly.
"I just don't know when I can drink the wedding wine of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess."
Luo Xiyu touched his cheek, thought for a while, and whispered: "It should be possible in the near future."
Qin Tianlan glanced at him and said angrily.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Peng Huimin actually heard the conversation between the two of them and didn't disturb it because she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. But since they were talking about Ping Xuanlian, she had to stop her and picked up a small branch. He knocked the two of them lightly, shook his head, and signaled them to stop talking.
The two understood what she meant, nodded, and stopped talking.
Then he joined the others and chatted about other things.
Mo Yan quickly shuttled through the woods, scanning every place with his eyes, not missing any place, for fear of missing his prey.
Not long after Mo Yan left, Lin Haiyao stood up and covered his stomach with his hands, pretending.
"My stomach hurts. I'm going to take a break."
After saying that, he quickly ran in the direction Mo Yan left, acting very anxious.
Ping Xuanlian pulled back her thoughts, looked at Lin Haiyao who was walking away, and gave instructions.
"Remember not to go too far."
"knew."
Lin Haiyao's figure disappeared from sight, and Ping Xuanlian didn't think much.
Seeing that he was some distance away from everyone, Lin Haiyao stopped, with a ruthless expression on his face, and scanned the surroundings, then searched for Mo Yan's traces deep in the woods.
Mo Yan suddenly stopped and looked at the deserted environment in front of him. He felt that it seemed a little weird here, but he couldn't tell what was weird. The temperature here was much lower than outside.
Mo Yan always had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he didn't dare to be careless. He carefully explored the depths step by step. The evil spirit became stronger the deeper he went, and fog also appeared around him. He was puzzled and murmured to himself. road.
"What kind of place is this place? The evil spirit is so strong."
The moonlight was blocked by the dense jungle. It was pitch dark and foggy inside and it was impossible to see the road in front of him. Mo Yan wanted to go back the way he came, not wanting to take such a risk for his prey, but he couldn't find the way back. , the fog is so dense that you can't see clearly within a few feet.
Mo Yan thought to himself, "I can't go back anyway, so I'll bravely venture out." He had to step into the depths again to explore carefully. If he wasn't careful, he would collide with a big tree, and even be kicked out of the ground while walking. And tripped over the roots.
Suddenly, the sound of trees falling to the ground came from the depths.
Mo Yan held the black and white bow and arrow tightly in his hand, stared at the direction of the movement, and whispered.
"The prey I have been looking for for a long time has finally appeared."
The movement was getting closer and closer. Mo Yan took out a black and white arrow from his back, placed it on the bowstring, and pulled it back, ready to shoot the arrow to strangle the prey at any time.
Suddenly, the movement disappeared. Mo Yan frowned and said in confusion.
"What's going on? Did you run away?"
Mo Yan had a disappointed expression on his face. After finally meeting his prey, he let it run away like this. He was inevitably in a depressed mood. If the fog hadn't blocked Mo Yan's sight, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to run away. Even if it ran away, Mo Yan He could also catch up and strangle it. After all, the monster beast that just appeared was not very strong. In Mo Yan's eyes, it was like an ant. It could be killed with one arrow, but it was a pity that it ran away.
Mo Yan saw that there was no movement in the woods in the distance, and just as he was about to retract the arrow, a huge dark green tail attacked from the depths, and all the surrounding trees were broken by the tail.
Mo Yan reacted in time, jumped back in the air to escape the disaster, drew his bow and fired an arrow in the air in one go, and the arrows passed through the fog and quickly assassinated the target, moving like flowing water.
He landed and stood firm, staring not far ahead with firm eyes.
The time for a cup of tea has passed, and there is no movement in the depths. The silence is a bit strange. The arrow just shot must have missed, otherwise it would not be so quiet.
Suddenly there was the sound of an arrow piercing the air, and by the time Mo Yan reacted, the black and white arrow had already appeared in front of him, less than one centimeter away from Mo Yan's eyebrows.
Mo Yan swallowed his saliva, quickly tilted his head, and dodged. The black and white arrows pierced a big tree. The tree collapsed towards Mo Yan. Mo Yan jumped to the left and dodged. .
Mo Yan looked in disbelief and said in admiration.
"There is something that can catch my arrow."
A man's voice came from the depths of the mist, his voice was hoarse and deep, and he sneered.
"You are not simple either. You can actually react even from a distance of one centimeter."
Mo Yan smiled contemptuously.
"If the fog hadn't blocked my sight, you wouldn't be so lucky today."
The man disagreed and laughed.
"I'm a demon, but I'm not stupid. I can't detect your realm and cultivation. Naturally, I don't dare to attack you rashly. But with this fog here, I can ask you for advice without any scruples."
"Uh uh uh..." Mo Yan felt that what he said made sense, but he didn't know what to say. He thought for a moment and said, "I am in the light and you are in the dark. It's so unfair. Why not... get out of this fog and come here?" It's an upright fight. Of course, if you lose, I won't kill you. If I lose, it's up to you to do whatever you want." His tone became much more serious and he said: "But... if you are caught by me in this fog, Until then, you won’t even have a chance to beg for mercy.”
It's not a threat, but a warning to him. If there is an honest fight, he may have a chance of survival, but if it's evil, he will definitely die. Mo Yan doesn't want to kill people at will. Even if he is a monster, after all, he is not a threat. , there is no need to kill them all, Mo Yan is generally compassionate and never kills people at will.
