Fan Peiyao appeared quietly, mixed in with the cavalry.
She was dressed as a man today, wearing a gray suit, a bamboo hat, and a small black beard on her lips, similar to Li Muchan's.
Wearing men's clothing and sitting on the horse, he looks particularly upright and heroic.
She was followed by six people, all of whom were in their fifties or sixties, with different expressions. Some were energetic, some were wilted, some were calm as water, or some were as cold as ice.
The expressions of the six people were all different. The only thing they had in common was that they had profound cultivation and were all top-notch masters. Li Muchan was secretly shocked when he saw this, and felt awe-inspiring in his heart.
Li Muchan was surprised. It seemed that Taibai Village was not a trivial matter. Six people were besieging him. He was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it. He could only use the burning lantern technique or escape. If they faced each other head-on, there was no chance of winning.
An armored soldier suddenly ran up to Li Muchan, performed a military salute, and said loudly: "Mingkong, the right captain calls you over!"
Li Muchan raised his head and glanced into the distance. The right captain was in the middle of the team, standing on a chariot with four tall horses and more than twenty personal guards protecting him.
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded, dismounted, and asked Chi Ying to follow everyone. He followed the soldiers forward, came to the chariot, and gave a military salute: "Right Captain."
The right captain was dressed in military uniform, and he suddenly gained a bit of heroic spirit. He hummed: "Mingkong, you go to the front and set up a sentry with the Fan family!"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded, turned back to Chi Ying, got on his horse, came to Fan Peiyao, and gave a military salute: "Master Fan."
Fan Peiyao suddenly smiled, with crooked eyebrows and a smile: "Master, what can I do?"
Li Muchan said: "The right captain has an order, I want to go visit the sentry. If it is convenient for Mr. Fan, how about we go together?"
"Okay." Fan Peiyao agreed readily.
Li Muchan and Fan Peiyao stepped forward, and six old men followed her, inseparable. Li Muchan took a look and said nothing. Obviously, these six people were responsible for Fan Peiyao's safety.
The two rode at the front, the official road was spacious, the two rode faster and faster, and Chi Ying hissed excitedly.
Running like this makes it extremely comfortable and neighing with joy. Running in the military camp is completely different from galloping on the official road outside the city.
It ran faster and faster, and soon passed Fan Peiyao by a long way. Li Muchan didn't stop him, he just let it run with a smile.
Fan Peiyao urged her horse to gallop and followed closely behind, but she couldn't catch up with Chi Ying. She cried out for help. She secretly sighed in her heart. Her horse was also a rare horse, but it was a little worse than Ming Kong's.
.
The military cavalry is indeed well-deserved, but it is a pity that military horses cannot be used by civilians. Once used, it is a serious crime, and no one wants to cause this trouble.
The red shadow ran happily, hissing, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared, and the horses and people turned into small black dots, accompanied by Li Muchan's laughter.
Fan Peiyao bit her lip and hummed, and simply slowed down. Soon, Li Muchan appeared again and ran back.
She looked at him with squinting eyes: "Why is the master back?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If you don't know the way, you still can't leave Mr. Fan."
Fan Peiyao smiled proudly and hummed: "Your horse is not very fast. Are all the horses in the army so splendid?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "If everyone is like Chi Ying, there is no need to defend Tenglong City, just attack Xi Zhao directly!"
"I guess so!" Fan Peiyao looked at Chi Ying with an envious expression.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Chi Ying is one of the best horses, especially good at speed, but he has a bad temper and hurts people at every turn, so he became my buddy. This is also fate."
"What a good horse!" Fan Peiyao exclaimed.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It has a bad temper and cannot be ridden by outsiders. How far is it?"
He pretended not to know what Fan Peiyao was thinking. She wanted to ride Red Shadow and experience the addiction of a military horse, but Red Shadow was his mount and no one else was allowed to mess with it.
Fan Peiyao rolled her eyes at him, curled her lips, and secretly said something stingy, but she wasn't angry either. If it were her, she wouldn't want others to ride her horse.
Fan Peiyao said: "There are still twenty miles, we have to go and hide first... One of our escort teams passed by today and has been released. Once Taibai Village takes action, we will outflank it!"
"Already arranged?" Li Muchan said.
He had always wondered why he would hire cavalry when he was attacking a mountain stronghold, instead of infantry. So it turned out that he was setting up an ambush and waiting for Taibai Stronghold to enter the net.
"What if the people in Taibai Village don't move?" Li Muchan asked with a smile.
Fan Peiyao pursed her lips and smiled: "The guys in Taibai Village are very arrogant. Even if they know there is a scam, they will do something!"
"That's the best." Li Muchan nodded.
The two rode in front, and the six old men followed behind like shadows without saying a word. The red shadow neighed from time to time, feeling quite depressed, and obviously didn't like to run hard like this.
Fan Peiyao led the way, walking along the official road, when he suddenly turned and headed towards a nearby hillside.
There are large mountains on the left and right of this section of the official road. The slopes are densely covered with pine forests. When a gust of wind blows, the green waves are swaying, and it is full of life.
Fan Peiyao entered the mountain on the right. As soon as she entered the woods, she dismounted, tied the reins to a tree, tied the horse, and walked up.
Li Muchan let go of Chiying and gently stroked its neck. Chiying was smart and knew to wait where he was, lowering his head to nibble on the grass.
The six old men tied up their horses respectively and followed behind the two of them. Their feet fluttered and they landed silently.
The eight of them found several trees and sat on the forks of the trees. They each held large branches in their hands and covered their heads and faces, blending in with the woods to prevent others from noticing.
Sitting on the tree, looking down from a high position, you can have a clear view of the official road at the foot of the mountain.
Li Muchan and Fan Peiyao were sitting on a tree with thick branches, side by side, each holding a broken branch to cover their heads.
The faint fragrance floated into his nose, refreshing and stirring his heart. Li Muchan took a deep breath, pointed in the distance and said, "Is Taibai Village opposite?"
"Yes." Fan Peiyao looked at the mountain opposite and said, "Taibai Village is on that mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to capture it, you can only lure them out."
Li Muchan said: "Miss Fan, isn't it too late to take action now?"
Fan Peiyao turned around and said, "You said he has eaten ginseng?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If you snatch this thing, why don't you eat it quickly and wait for others to snatch it back?... It is said that it can improve your skill, right?"
Fan Peiyao pursed her lips and smiled: "It's true."
"If you were a young lady, would you eat it after you robbed it?" Li Muchan said.
Fan Peiyao shook her head: "With his level of skill, eating ginseng is of no use."
"Then why did he grab it?" Li Muchan asked.
Fan Peiyao said: "This ginseng is priceless. It can save lives. There are countless people who want to buy it. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell it at a good price."
"Isn't this escort bill very expensive?" Li Muchan said with a smile.
"Yeah." Fan Peiyao nodded lightly and sighed: "If we lose this escort, our work will be in vain for a year!"
Li Muchan suddenly raised his finger, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in the distance, followed by shouts.
Fan Peiyao listened attentively, glanced at him, and said, "The escort team is here."
She found it strange that he had such good ears that he could detect the movement one step ahead of her.
