Chapter Seventy-Eight—Divine Shooting and Poisoning
Just as Meng Ran held his breath and secretly guarded himself, a black figure swept to the eaves of Meng's mansion, with a thin waist and arms under the black night clothes, his face was also covered with a black scarf, and he was carrying a longbow and a quiver behind him.
The person who came was none other than the marksman Hua Rong, with a pair of handsome eyes shining in the darkness, looking for his target.
Hua Rong moved and tossed on the roof several times, and finally jumped lightly into the front yard and walked towards the room where Meng Ran was.
As he stepped up the steps, he drew a feathered arrow from behind his back and clutched it tightly in his hand.
Meng Ran in the room slowly moved his body and moved in the direction of the door.
Hua Rong's eyes on the steps narrowed slightly, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the feather arrow in his hand stabbed out.
Hearing only a 'click', there was already a hole in the wooden wall, and a new iron arrow pierced straight at Meng Ran.
At the last moment, Meng Ran raised the long knife in his hand slightly, and used the scabbard to resist the sharp arrow.
The wooden arrow body crackled due to the excessive force, and cracks of all sizes appeared on the surface, and it was about to break.
Meng Ran flicked his left hand, the scabbard fell to the ground, and the long blade in his hand had already slashed out, cutting a large oblique gap in the wall.
Hua Rong moved his steps lightly, calmly dodged Meng Ran's knife, and retreated to the edge of the steps, looking at the figure in the gap fixedly.
The maid who was originally sleeping peacefully on the bed, after hearing the sound of the long knife chopping, Huo Ran woke up from his sleep, hurriedly touched the master beside him, and shouted anxiously: "Young master?
Meng Ran took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Green screen, just stay in bed, I'll solve the outside matter." ”
The green screen said in a trembling voice: "Young master, be careful. ”
"Got it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Ran opened the door and walked out slowly, asking in a soft voice, "I don't know what is the so-called matter of Your Excellency's late night visit?"
Hua Rong's voice was very clear, and he said, "Naturally, something is looking for you." Are you going to come with me, or are you going to let me drag it along?"
Meng Ran smiled and said, "In your own home, you naturally can't be dragged away. ”
"Then come with me. ”
"Think beautifully. ”
As soon as the words fell, Meng Ran had already slashed diagonally, directly hitting Hua Rong's shoulder.
Hua Rong dodged Meng Ran's attack sideways and punched him in the chest.
Meng Ran staggered back a few steps and slammed into the wall.
Hua Rong said softly: "Do you want to continue? You don't have the slightest chance of winning, it's better to go with me, at least you can suffer a little less." ”
Meng Ran smiled bitterly, rubbed his sore chest, and hissed: "This is the beginning, and it only counts after the fight." ”
Meng Ran took a deep breath and decided to no longer slash diagonally, but to attack the most scoundrel sweeping knife technique. He deceived forward, and with the help of the sharp blade of the long knife, he kept swinging the knife and sweeping, intending to delay time and wait for the assistance of Li Haoran and Geng Huyuan.
After a few knives, Hua Rong was a little impatient, took a few steps back, and his figure had already appeared on the eaves of the east wing room as soon as he moved, and the longbow behind his back had appeared in his hand at some point.
With the longbow in hand, Hua Rong's temperament changed immediately, and there was a bit more solemn aura on his body. His left hand reached behind his back, and by the movement he knew he was about to twist a feathered arrow out of the quiver.
Meng Ran clenched the long knife and galloped in the direction of the east wing.
With a bang, he smashed through the door and stood in the room.
"Ahh
A woman's screams rang out.
Meng Ran rubbed his face and said in a deep voice: "Don't shout, it's me." ”
A crisp and panicked voice sounded again, "Is there something wrong with Childe?"
"It's okay, there are a few thieves in the house, you can hide by yourself. Meng Ran replied, then found a position where he could dodge the bow and arrow, stopped his figure, and stood there quietly.
There was a sound of rustling clothes on the bed, and Seinfeld's heart was also broken.
Hua Rongfu jumped into the courtyard again and shouted at Meng Ran: "Master Meng, if you don't come out, I will beat you into a dead dog and drag you out, instead of this, it is better to take the initiative to come out, and I will also save you some face." ”
Meng Ran snorted and shouted angrily, "If there is a kind, you will come in." ”
Hua Rong smiled and said sarcastically: "Then it will be as you wish, don't blame me for not giving you face." ”
Hua Rong held a longbow in his hand and slowly walked into the room, Shi Shiran said, "I'm here, please ask Meng Gongzi to make a move." ”
In the face of such ridicule, Meng Ran couldn't bear it anymore, his body suddenly rushed forward, and the long knife in his hand was slashed out, looking desperate.
Facing the menacing knife, Hua Rong smiled lightly, not seeing how he moved, the longbow in his hand had already hit the blade of Meng Ran's long knife, only to hear the sound of 'duh', the long knife had deviated from the original direction, and it was almost out of his hand.
Meng Ran took advantage of the momentum in a flash, he was already standing on the other side, he rubbed his sour right arm, and the tension in his heart was a little more, this was the first master he had encountered since he practiced the knife, and it was also the opponent he had the most to do.
The corners of Meng Ran's mouth pulled out a strange smile, and he asked softly, "What is the matter with the seniors looking for me?"
Hua Rong didn't rush to make a move, he looked calm and comfortable playing with a cat and mouse, and said in a flat tone: "As long as you follow me, you will naturally know the cause and effect, so why bother asking?"
Meng Ran smiled and said, "You are a master, why do you have to get along with me? Do you really like to be subservient and enslaved?"
Hua Rong didn't get angry, just said calmly: "Rest, just continue, don't let people think that you can only talk about it." ”
Meng Ran clenched the long knife tightly, rushed over again, and slashed seven or eight times at the uninvited guest in front of him, but without exception, they were all broken by Hua Rong lightly.
However, with the twenty swords, the true qi in Meng Ran's body had bottomed out, and the chest and abdomen were empty, and there was no trace of excess qi circulating.
At this point, Meng Ran slashed out a powerful knife, and then hurriedly retreated, breaking through the wall and hurriedly escaping.
Being teased like this, Hua Rong was very annoyed, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a faint murderous aura.
I saw Hua Rong take a breath gently, there was already an extra feather arrow in his hand, and as soon as the longbow was opened, the feather arrow flew in response.
The longbow is like a full moon, and the feathered arrows are like shooting stars.
When Meng Ran just fled to the gate, a feather arrow shot towards him like thunder, only to hear a 'bang', there was already a big hole in the gate of Meng's mansion, and the sawdust flew in all directions, hitting Meng Ran's body and face like gravel.
There was a small wound on the cheek of the clear and handsome man, and warm red blood slowly flowed out.
Meng Ran smiled bitterly, he had already thrown the long knife in his hand to the ground, he knew that if there was no help from others, even ten Meng Ran would not be able to defeat the master with a longbow in front of him today.
Hua Rong slowly walked to the courtyard, looked at Meng Ran steadily, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you go with me?"
Meng Ran sighed and replied, "Let's go." ”
Meng Ran didn't wait for Hua Rong's reaction, opened the door directly, and stepped into Nanhu Lane.
When he had just stood on the bluestone slab in Nanhu Lane, there was already a figure in the alley, it was Geng Huyuan, who had returned from chasing the enemy.
Geng Huyuan glanced at Meng Ran and asked very dissatisfiedly: "Just give up when you encounter such a setback?" Then what are you going to do, what kind of martial arts are you going to practice, go home and continue your comfortable life." ”
Meng Ran lowered his head in shame and said softly: "Uncle Geng, I ......"
Before Meng Ran's words were finished, Hua Rong in the courtyard had already jumped onto the roof, grabbed his bow and arrows at Geng Huyuan, and shot out angrily.
Geng Huyuan raised his eyebrows, he had already pinched the fast feather arrow in his hand, his wrist shook slightly, and with a backhand throw, the feather arrow had flown back in the direction it came.
After Hua Rong on the eaves shot an arrow, he immediately set off to flee, but even so, he was still shot in the arm by the feather arrow that had returned the same way, and the whole person staggered and fell into the courtyard.
Soon after, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Geng Huyuan didn't rush to check on Hua Rong who had landed, but just said coldly to Meng Ran: "When did you figure it out when you went north, if you haven't figured it out, then you don't have to go." ”
Meng Ran's lips squirmed a few times, and he whispered, "Got it, Uncle Geng." ”
Geng Huyuan hummed heavily and continued to ask, "Has Brother Li come back?"
"Not yet. Meng Ran shook his head and said.
......
Li Haoran, who was worried about the two of them, almost died, and at the most critical moment, he took advantage of the opportunity to cheat death to knock down the Pinhuadao people who were good at using hidden weapons and poisons.
At this moment, he was groping under the clothes of the Pinhuadao people to find the antidote, and touched a few packets of medicine powder with the same packaging.
The Pinhua Daoist lying on the ground hissed and said: "It turns out that you have been poisoned, hehe, you can wait for death with peace of mind, there is no antidote to this poison." ”
Li Haoran smiled and said coldly: "Yes, anyway, I'm already a lot old, it doesn't matter if I die or not, it's just a pity for your life." ”
Pinhua Daoren said in a vicious voice: "Old thing, you break the tendons and veins of my limbs, I want to watch you die before me." ”
Li Haoran endured the dizziness, smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: "Whatever, anyway, with you by my side, I am not alone on the Huangquan Road." ”
Pinhuadao scolded foully for a while, and there was a lot of unwillingness in his tone.
Li Haoran sat beside him and said softly: "If you give me the antidote, I will treat you immediately, and I will let you go, and you can live an ordinary life for the rest of your life."
If you have to kill me, you will become a waste after dawn, and even if you are rescued, you can only be a paralyzed person and let others fiddle with you. How to choose, you can do it yourself. ”
Pinhua Daoren hesitated for a moment, and said very unconfidently, "Why should I believe you?"
Li Haoran said very calmly: "Do you believe it or not." ”
Pinhua Daoist thought for a while, and resigned himself to his fate: "Yellow powder is the antidote." ”
Li Haoran held on to the last trace of clarity, slowly opened a few packets of medicinal powder, picked out the yellow medicinal powder and swallowed it all into his stomach.
Pinhua Daoren said with a painful face: "You can detoxify by eating a little, my medicinal powder configuration is not easy, why did you swallow it all." ”
Then he rambled on and on.
Li Haoran didn't pay attention to him, just sat cross-legged and adjusted his internal breath.
