The knights were riding slowly about twenty paces away from General Hua. Ji Wuming and his seven men were riding ten paces away from General Hua. General Hua and Li Muchan were walking side by side.
General Hua is dressed in brocade clothes, simple and plain, with a jade face, elegant and graceful. Compared with a general, he is more like a young man traveling for fun.
The two of them left the Shenguang Camp and walked slowly, not in a hurry. After the battle, the pace of life slowed down and they acted in no hurry.
General Hua turned to look at Li Muchan and said with a smile: "Master, what are your plans after returning to Beijing?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I have long admired the gathering of eminent monks at Shengyin Temple in the capital. When I arrive in the capital, I will definitely pay a visit and listen to the teachings of the eminent monks."
He was dressed in a gray monk's robe, with a calm expression. He held the reins in his right hand and moved the Buddhist beads with his left hand.
General Hua said: "There are indeed many eminent monks in Shengyin Temple, and the Buddha's light shines on countless sentient beings, such as Master Chengfeng, Master Xuefeng, and Master Miaonan. They are all superb in Buddhism and understand people's hearts wonderfully... However, I think you are not inferior to Master Chengfeng."
Several eminent monks."
Li Muchan smiled: "I'm still far away. Where will the general go?"
If nothing unexpected happens, General Hua will no longer be the commander of the Shenguang Battalion. Now that he has too much prestige and has formed an army of his own, he will inevitably be tabooed by the monarchs and ministers in the court.
This is natural. If you put yourself in his shoes, as a minister of the imperial court, you would also worry about him respecting his troops. The army is the emperor's army, but belongs to a certain person. Although the emperor today worships Buddhism, he values military power and will never do it.
It would not be unkind to sit back and watch civil strife nip in the bud.
General Hua still remains in office, which makes people worry that the emperor has murderous intentions towards him, or that someone wants to harm him.
General Hua suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. He turned around and saw a continuous Shenguang Camp, connected to the Shenguang City Wall, with flags fluttering and a fierce aura.
After staring blankly for a long time, General Hua suddenly grabbed the reins and rode away.
Li Muchan shook the reins lightly, and Chi Ying hissed softly and ran after him.
He vaguely understood General Hua's complicated mood. He had stayed in Shenguang Camp for five years and had devoted five years of hard work. How could he be at peace when he left suddenly.
As soon as General Hua accelerated his speed, everyone followed him and started running. The sound of the horses' hooves was as loud as thunder, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, disappearing in the yellow dust.
The two horses galloped side by side, and Chi Ying was able to do so with ease. He snorted from time to time and looked proudly at the white hair on the left, casting a disdainful look.
General Hua and Li Muchan were sitting on the horse, their bodies and the horse were one, rising and falling, their clothes were rustling, and the scene in front of them was quickly retreating, passing by in a flash.
General Hua stared into the distance, was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Master, if nothing unexpected happens, I will transfer to Shenwu Camp after returning to Beijing."
A strong wind blew across their faces. The two of them had deep internal energy, and their voices were steady and could not be blown away by the wind, and could be heard clearly in each other's ears.
Li Muchan was startled, moved his left hand and turned around to look.
General Hua's figure rose and fell, his eyes looking into the distance: "It is said that Xi Zhao has been dishonest these days, and the Holy One actually thinks highly of me!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The Holy One wants to train generals."
"How could I not know how much I have? Without the master, I would have no chance of winning!" General Hua smiled bitterly and turned around and said: "It's a pity that the master will definitely stay when he returns to Beijing this time!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "How do you know that I will definitely stay in Beijing?"
General Hua said: "Your Majesty, you believe deeply in Buddhism. Master, you are not only excellent in martial arts, but you are also powerful in Buddhism. Your Majesty will definitely stay by your side and will never be released from Beijing!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's kindness, I deserve it."
General Hua smiled and said: "I will try to ask for mercy from the Holy One...Master, will you continue to be my companion?"
"It's not what you asked for." Li Muchan said with a smile.
General Hua breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "With the help of the master, I can rest easy!"
They were passing through a dense pine forest, and after the laughter, the birds started to fly.
A big stone fell in General Hua's heart. He suddenly felt relaxed and relaxed. He pointed out the scenery around the roadside and talked about some allusions and geography, which were all treasures from his family.
Over the past five years, he has become very familiar with the surrounding area, and he can tell some allusions and worldly events in any place, one by one, very pleasantly.
Li Muchan nodded endlessly and mixed in a few comments and witty remarks, which made General Hua laugh. The two chatted and laughed happily, making Ji Wuming and the others extremely envious.
Ji Wuming was riding on the horse, looking at Li Muchan and General Hua, shaking his head secretly.
I am also an unscrupulous, free and easy person, but facing the general is like facing a big mountain, heavy pressure is coming on my face, I can't help being nervous, speaking reservedly, and I can't be free and easy.
Every time after talking to the general, he felt annoyed, because he was too busy to live up to his expectations. The general was so kind, why should he be nervous? Is there any need to be like that?
Every time before talking to the general, he tried his best to relax, but as soon as he arrived in front of the general, he immediately returned to his old self, nervous and reserved, not daring to say much.
Master Mingkong was able to talk and laugh happily in front of the general, just like he was talking to ordinary people. He was worthy of being a master and had profound cultivation. He really admired him.
They went all the way south, only taking the official road, which was wide and flat. There were few people at this time, allowing them to gallop freely and freely without any hindrance.
Running all the way, time seemed to merge with the road. Time passed quickly, and the distance also passed quickly. They ran about a hundred miles.
There are many pine forests on both sides of the official road, which are lush and green, adding a bit of life to the desolate fields.
Li Muchan only wore a gray monk's robe, which looked thin. It was already early winter, the leaves were withered, and only the pine trees were still green.
The sun is high in the sky, the sunshine is bright and soft, and the warmth and comfort it shines on the body makes people want to squint their eyes and sleep, and they can't feel energetic.
The few rows of knights in front suddenly slowed down, shrank their formation, and stared at the woods on both sides with bright eyes, nervously alert.
General Hua also reined in his horse and slowed down, frowning and looking at the woods.
Li Muchan shook his head and reached out to untie the bow and arrows from the saddle. His original bow was reduced to pieces. Now this bow was newly cast and better than before. It looked similar, with a silver-gray bow body and jet black strings, simple and plain.
He drew the bow to the full moon, then let go, and a black light penetrated into the woods, followed by a muffled sound.
"Is there really someone?" General Hua asked.
Li Muchan picked up four short arrows, but lowered his bow without moving. He looked into the distance and nodded after a moment: "Thirty of them are coming for us!"
Under the observation of the Eye of the Void, a group of people were ambushed in the distance of the forest. There were nearly twenty or thirty people. They were all lying on the trees holding powerful crossbows. They wore leaves on their heads and wore brown clothes. They blended into the pine trees, just like chameleons.
If it weren't for the murderous aura they exuded, Li Muchan would have almost escaped. They were so well concealed that they were as high as a mountain, and Li Muchan couldn't help but admire them.
The knights guarding General Hua could feel the murderous intent, which made Li Muchan admire them. Their intuition was astonishing, as expected from their battlefield experience.
Their intuition is cultivated, and their intuition is obtained through battlefield experience and stimulating potential. They arrive at the same goal through different paths. Although they are not as good as themselves, they should not be underestimated.
Without General Hua's orders, the knights automatically adjusted themselves into a circular formation, forming four rings, with General Hua as the center and the rings surrounding each other.
Each of them carries a shield, which they lift up and join together to form a turtle shell. They control their mounts to turn their hooves and move slowly to keep the formation intact.
Once he stops, he will be beaten with his head in his arms and there will be no chance to fight back.
"Master, thirty people want to assassinate me, they underestimate us!" General Hua had some time to spare, turned to Li Muchan and smiled.
Li Muchan smiled, thoughtfully.
"Swish, swish, swish..." A powerful crossbow emerged from the woods, making a tinkling sound when it hit the shield, while some passed over the shield and shot into it.
All the knights were wearing bright armor, and the crossbows and arrows were not allowed to enter. They only had to protect the horses. They did not go in to charge, but just kept their heads down and moved forward, as if they were carrying a turtle shell.
Li Muchan looked down with his eyes in the void, and saw that these thirty or so people were extremely skilled in archery. In just a moment, they shot out a hail of arrows, which was densely packed and quite frightening.
The knights experienced the last battle with calm demeanor and unchanged formation.
Although the arrow rain was fierce, it was extremely difficult to shoot it in and reach General Hua. Four layers of shields blocked almost all angles.
The crowd walked under the rain of arrows, and soon after walking about ten feet, the rain of arrows became more intense.
The bow and arrow were lying across his knees. Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was dozing off. Arrows were raining all over the sky and would fall at any time, but he ignored them.
Suddenly, he raised his bow and drew it to the full moon. "Chi!" there was a soft whistle, and four black lights flashed and shot into the ground about a foot away.
"Bang!" The ground exploded and dust exploded.
Several knights flew out, disrupting the formation. Arrows took advantage of the opportunity and came in. There was a "ding, ding, ding, ding..." and they hit the bright armor.
Six figures emerged from the dust, stuck to the ground, and shot towards General Hua like poisonous snakes grazing grass. They arrived in an instant, faster than lightning and flint, and Ji Wuming and the other seven were unable to react in time.
The six people waved their hands and clapped down, directly sealing General Hua's hiding space.
General Hua reacted quickly. As soon as Li Muchan's arrow appeared, he knew something was wrong and waved his palm to catch the six people. Suddenly, a huge force came and he flew out involuntarily.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the six of them took two steps back, and Li Muchanzhuo stood still.
General Hua saw clearly and was immediately surprised. Li Muchan took two hard blows, and the other four hit him solidly, both sides and vest.
Li Muchan received four palms, his expression remained unchanged, and he quickly ducked behind a person and swung his palm to take a shot, but the shot came up empty and was just an afterimage.
He was not surprised, and immediately dodged to avoid the palms of the six people, then went behind another person, waved his palms and swatted, and there was another afterimage. These six people had outstanding light skills, no less than him.
The seven people were spinning like a gyroscope, like seven rays of light and shadow, shaking and flickering, so that no one could see their figures clearly.
Through the four palms just now, Li Muchan knew that their internal strength was deep and only inferior to his own. Fortunately, the Vajra Indestructible Magic was extremely powerful, so he was able to resist them.
They were buried under the soil, and their concealment skills were extremely deep. If he hadn't felt something was wrong, clinging to his intuition, and faintly aware of something strange underground, it would have been impossible to detect the six of them.
These six people are all outstanding. When facing one person, he has a chance of winning. Two people can win with the lighting technique. Three people are barely able to win. Six people have no chance of winning. These six people have outstanding light skills and it is difficult for them to use their great power.
