The armored guards were closely guarding the camp, their bodies were flashing with cold light, and they all had an evil aura that was so threatening that ghosts and gods could not approach them. They were all warriors who had experienced the battlefield.
Li Muchan respected these people very much and stepped forward to say a few words.
The guards knew Li Muchan, otherwise they would drive him away and not let him come near. Someone would go in and report the matter, and he would come back soon and invite him in.
When Li Muchan came to the hall, the captain was wearing a long purple gown and was immersed in reviewing official documents. His expression was focused and his thick eyebrows were furrowed. Li Muchan did not disturb him and stood motionless, secretly showing the shape of a small dragon.
His legs are uneven, his elbows are dropped, and his hand is on the knife. It looks like a sentry posture, but it is actually a small dragon shape. The outside is immobile, but the internal energy is rolling, as mighty as a river.
After a long while, the captain put down his pen, stroked his beard and looked down.
"When did you arrive?" He looked at Li Muchan with a smile, nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, I'm finally a little bit warm."
Li Muchan thought about the shape of the little dragon day and night, and he already had a similar look. He could place it at will without spending too much time adjusting it. Although it was far from instinctive, it was still not unnatural.
Li Muchan performed a military salute: "I have met the captain."
The captain waved his hand: "Okay, get up. Are you here to suppress bandits?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded and said, "Captain, I don't worry about our people going outside the city while I go to suppress the bandits."
"You have such a strong tone!" The captain laughed and said, "Without you, everyone doesn't have to leave the city?"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "The Black Hawk Cavalry will try their best to regain the place. Once they leave the city, they will face the violent storm of the Black Hawk Cavalry."
"Do you even need to say that?!" the captain snorted, stroking his beard and pondering, then slowly said: "In your opinion, what's the best way to deal with it?"
Li Muchan said: "Put it off... we can't avoid leaving the city for now. After a while, when their blood has calmed down, how about we take a look at it slowly?"
"Bad idea!" The captain snorted, shook his head and said, "This trend cannot last long. Once you get started like this and learn to avoid its sharp edges, the courage in the army will be released, and the consequences will be serious!"
Li Muchan pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "How about waiting for me to come back?... Just two or three days."
"You're also in trouble over there." The captain shook his head and sighed.
Li Muchan said: "Why did the captain agree to the Fan family?"
"Your Majesty, I have to comply with my request." The captain's face darkened, and he realized that he had talked too much. He waved his hand and said angrily, "You know what to do! Just do your job honestly!"
"Yes." Li Muchan did not dare to joke and said, "Captain, if I kill the enemy, can it be regarded as a military achievement?"
"Well, of course Sima will accompany us." The captain nodded, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Get out of here, go to the martial arts training ground, and follow the captain's orders!"
"...Yes." Li Muchan hesitated, the captain glanced at him coldly, and he hurriedly agreed.
He shook his head secretly. It was Captain Right who was leading the team. He was in a bit of trouble.
Li Muchan went back and rode Red Shadow to the Flying Cavalry Camp.
There was no one around the flying cavalry camp. It was empty. When he came to the martial arts training ground, there was a square formation on the ground, with ten people in a row, a total of ten rows.
Next to the phalanx, there is a long formation with about two hundred infantrymen. One in the front row holds a shield and the other holds a long sword. The second row holds a spear, the third row holds archers, and the fourth row holds a broadsword.
This sword is about 1.56 meters long, about the same height as a person. The handle is about more than 1 meter long. It is open on both sides. You need to hold the sword with both hands to swing it. It is about the same length as Guan Gong's sword, but the style is different.
The blades on both sides shone with cold light, and the soldiers holding the swords were all tall and strong, somewhat more elite than the other soldiers around them.
There were about a hundred cavalry and more than two hundred infantry. Li Muchan thought that all the flying cavalry battalions were out, but half of them were left behind.
On the general stage, the captain on the right, dressed in military uniform, was lecturing. He glanced at Li Muchan, stopped talking, waved, and Li Muchan jumped off his horse and came to the audience.
The captain on the right had a stern face, his eyes flickered, and said slowly: "Mingkong, you enter the cavalry department and act with everyone... If you violate orders, don't blame the military law enforcement!"
Li Muchan performed a military salute, responded loudly, turned around, mounted Red Shadow, and came behind the cavalry.
Everyone has been staring at him. Today, Li Muchan is a legend in the army. He rides alone out of the city to save people, kills the Black Eagle Cavalry, and rescues his comrades.
Such a righteous deed and such ability can be said to be both moral and artistic, and everyone regards him as a hero.
Li Muchan nodded and smiled. He had offended the Flying Cavalry a lot, and he secretly thought that there would be no peace, and someone would try to regain the situation.
The captain on the right waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, let's go!"
After two cannons fired, Li Muchan followed the cavalry out of the camp, left Tenglong City, and headed for Tianlong City. He had to go to Tianlong City first and then outside Tianlong City.
Li Muchan followed the knights, and the red shadow trotted slowly.
The infantrymen in front walked as fast as flying, as fast as horses. They ran for a while, then walked slowly, ran again, walked slowly again, and so on. They were all physically strong.
The cavalry looked very comfortable and leisurely, sweeping over the infantry with a sense of superiority. Li Muchan followed the knights, saying nothing, and focused on drawing his bow.
He had no arrows in his hand, but he kept drawing the bow. His movements were slow, as if he was experiencing something, but he was practicing a small dragon form.
With the action of pulling the bow, the body seems to be pulling like a bowstring, and the internal energy suddenly rolls and is concentrated in both arms. The strength is greatly increased, far beyond normal.
Li Muchan always believed that the internal strength in the army did not focus on the local area, but on physical training. Now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. The small dragon form can greatly increase his physical strength.
He was overjoyed and gained some confidence for this time's suppression of bandits.
Originally, he wanted to dissipate the internal strength in the army and restore the Canghai Divine Skill, but he was reluctant to do so. The internal strength now was hard to come by, and once it was dissipated, it would take a while to cultivate it back.
He was afraid that once his skills were dissipated, his Qi membrane would also dissipate, which would be a big trouble. He didn't know when he would be able to practice again.
The benefits of restoring the Canghai Magic Art are endless, but there is also another benefit to having the internal strength of the army, which is that the power of the Vajra Indestructible Magic Art is greatly increased, and the internal organs are protected by a gas film.
This time, I am facing off against an extremely powerful person. Even with the magical power of the sea, I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat him. I rely solely on the indestructible power of the Vajra to save my life. I cannot lose the internal strength of the army.
Without internal force, the power of Feiyun Arrow was greatly reduced. The small dragon shape just made up for the shortcomings. The internal force was concentrated in both arms, and the power of the arrow technique was greatly increased. He had been practicing hard, trying to inject internal force into the arrow.
But this is extremely difficult. The body seems to have a membrane that isolates the internal force and prevents it from overflowing outside the body. There is a great mystery in this, and Li Muchan vaguely understands it.
He was unwilling to give in and kept doing this pose, adjusting slowly, hoping to break through the barriers and inject internal energy into the arrow, so that the power of the arrow would be greatly increased.
When it comes to the power of internal force, the internal force in the army is fierce and domineering, which is even better.
Seeing him like this, everyone did not bother him, and felt a sense of awe. They all understood how terrifying the Black Hawk Cavalry was. He could kill more than twenty Black Hawk Cavalry alone. His ability was unimaginable.
Time passed as Li Muchan concentrated on his cultivation. Everyone marched very fast, and in the evening, they set up camp outside Tianlong City.
Li Muchan and Lieutenant You took leave and went to Tianlong City to rest at night.
The right captain glared at him coldly, waved his hand, and impatiently approved the leave. Obviously, the captain had already given the order, otherwise, he would never have been so happy.
The south city gate was bustling with people coming and going. As soon as Li Muchan entered the city and was going to stay in the house he bought for a night, suddenly a young man stood in front of him, cupping his fists and saying, "Is the master's name Mingkong?"
Li Muchan took a look at him. He was about 20 years old, with a slim build, handsome features, a kind face, and pure eyes, which made people very fond of him.
Li Muchan nodded: "I am Mingkong."
"Master Mingkong is very polite!" The young man joined in the ceremony and said, "My lady is hosting a banquet in Changping Tower, and I would like to ask Master Mingkong to show your respect."
"Your lady?" Li Muchan smiled: "But Miss Fan?"
"Exactly." The young man nodded.
"Okay, let's go." Li Muchan nodded, and followed him to Changping Building. A waiter took Chi Ying, and another waiter came to greet him.
Seeing it was him, the waiter was startled for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Hello, Master."
It was the waiter I met a few times before. Li Muchan smiled and nodded. He had been here several times in a row and his face was familiar.
The young man said: "This is our lady's guest."
"Miss Fan turns out to be waiting for the master, please come quickly!" The waiter hurriedly stepped aside to invite him, very attentively.
The waiter walked in front and led them to a private room, then knocked on the door. A thin and dull man opened the door, nodded when he saw them.
"But the master is here?" In a soft and pleasant voice, Fan Peiyao appeared, with her hands clasped together and a smile like a flower: "How are you doing, master?"
She is dressed in a moon-white gown, like a lotus, pure and beautiful.
Li Muchan returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Miss Fan summons me, what are your instructions?"
Fan Peiyao said with a smile: "The little girl is very happy to hear that the master is really here."
"I don't dare to take it... I should take off my armor before I come back, but I'm afraid that the eldest lady will be anxious and rude." Li Muchan smiled and pointed to his armor.
Fan Peiyao smiled and said, "Master, you don't have to be polite."
The two of them talked calmly, and Fan Peiyao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would choke her again and make her angry. Fortunately, he was very easy-going today.
Fan Peiyao introduced the thin man next to her: "This is my fifth uncle, whose surname is Yue and whose name is Tieshan."
Li Muchan greeted him with a gift.
Fan Peiyao waved her hand, and the young man held a long wooden box and presented it to Li Muchan.
Li Muchan looked at Fan Peiyao: "This is...?"
Fan Peiyao said: "This is the Hanjiao Bow that my grandfather collected. Master, don't dislike it."
Li Muchan opened the wooden box, and a completely black long bow appeared in front of him, as if it had absorbed all the luster around it, giving off a mysterious aura.
Li Muchan smiled. He reached out and picked it up. A bit of cold air passed through his palms, along his arms, and turned into coolness and injected it into his mind, clearing his mind.
He had previously obtained a treasure bow, but it was unfortunately destroyed by someone. Now that he saw the treasure bow again, he felt warm and emotional.
Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly and felt the cool breath. The bow was made of black iron, but he had never seen this kind of iron before. It always exuded a bit of coldness, calming his mind.
When his palms touched the part where the thread was not wrapped, the coldness became even stronger, like ice.
The bow body has no patterns and is only wrapped with a layer of thin threads. The bow string is snow-white and flawless, which contrasts strongly with the dark bow body and is eye-catching.
Li Muchan plucked the bowstring with his fingers, and it hummed softly. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a bow!"
Fan Peiyao smiled sweetly and said: "It would be best if Master is satisfied!"
Li Muchan gently pulled it, and it suddenly became a full moon. He released his finger, and there was a muffled "bang" sound, and everyone's heart skipped a beat, as if a hammer had hit their heart.
Fan Peiyao showed a look of surprise: "The bow is made of deep-sea cold iron, and the string is made of dragon's tendon. Unfortunately, the bow is too hard, and ordinary people can't pull it open... The master is indeed worthy of being an expert archer!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "It's just a bit silly."
He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I will accept this bow! Thank you very much, Miss Fan, for taking the trouble!"
Fan Peiyao smiled and said: "As long as the master likes it!... Grandpa heard that the master is a magic archer, so he insisted on giving this cold dragon bow to the master."
"Mr. Fan has heard about his fame for a long time, but has never been able to meet him." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Fan Peiyao said: "After this incident, grandpa wants to invite you to be a guest. Master, please don't refuse!"
"What an honor." Li Muchan smiled.
Afterwards, he said a few words to Fan Peiyao, said goodbye and left, riding Chiying to his mansion.
When he arrived in front of the mansion, he looked up and saw that the plaque on it had been changed to Ming Palace.
Li Muchan shook his head and laughed. This was a strange name. He got off his horse and knocked on the door. A small hole appeared on the door. He looked at it with his eyes and asked, "This monk, who are you looking for?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Old man, I am Mingkong."
"It turns out to be the new owner, look at me old man!" The old man opened the door hurriedly. He was chubby, had a nice smile, and had gray hair. He looked about fifty years old.
"Master!" Gao Tongcheng jumped out, overjoyed.
Li Muchan dismounted, smiled and patted his shoulder. Mrs. Gao also came out, along with two maids and two strong, strong men.
They met one by one. Li Muchan walked in with a smile. Gao Tongcheng hurriedly took the reins of Chi Ying and said, "Master, is this your mount?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Be careful, it has a bad temper."
Gao Tongcheng didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Master, my riding skills are also very good... look at me!"
As he said this, he wanted to get on his horse, but Chi Ying turned sideways. He kicked his foot into the air, and his face turned red immediately.
Li Muchan laughed a few times and patted the red shadow. Gao Tongcheng was embarrassed to show his ugly face again, so he handed the reins to a strong man and led him to the stable next to him.
Taking advantage of this night, Li Muchan taught Gao Tongcheng two styles of crazy magic stick techniques. He was quite satisfied with his progress. He had good understanding and hard work.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Muchan got up early, rode Chi Ying to the military camp outside the city, and went out of the north gate of Tianlong City with everyone.
