Chapter 397 - Kill All Witnesses (2/2)
Arrows are endless. She must defeat people outside first.
Lin Luoran kicks down a low wall. She is running like drifting smoke and then the sound of groans ring. Except for the fake village mayor, all archers are stunned by her hand.
The Mu family regards her as a savior, and even guards practicing martial arts also think the same way.
They have never seen anyone’s martial arts skills that can be that good. Warrior Lin has kept her low profile for more than a month, and now she earns herself a glorious moment!
How powerful is she?
This is the question in everyone’s mind. The fake village mayor retreats for many steps and yells at Lin Luoran not to come over.
Mu Qingshan feels emotions flas.h.i.+ng in his heart: admiration, nervousness, and inferiority… Finally, they all turn into happiness—he admires Mu Qinghua’s insight so much at this moment. Warrior Lin’s help is worth much more than five thousand taels of silver. Even if it costs fifty thousand taels, it is worthwhile because Mu Family gets the chance to have a mighty friend!
Lin Luoran reaches out and grabs the collar of the fake village mayor. She stuns him and other sentries hiding in the dark. Lin Luoran then says to Mu Qingshan, “Mr. Mu, this is still not a safe place, and the enemy may come here any minute. Let’s leave quickly. ”
Mu Qingshan has known that Lin Luoran’s “prophecy” is more authentic than real gold. He nods and asks his men to search carefully. They find the antidote to the Bedazzle Powder from thieves
They take the antidote respectively. A quarter of an hour later, they finally recover.
Collecting all arbalests, Mu Qingshan enters the house where Mu Feiqiang with red eyes is. He now doesn’t have the mood to revive his nephew. Mu Qingshan picks up a broken arrow and asks Mu Feiqiang what weapon Lin Luoran has used.
Mu Feiqiang tells him that she did it with her bare hand. Mu Qingshan knows more about the meaning of the breakout of internal force than his niece. Hearing that, he sighs deeply. The Mu family is really lucky this time. Lin Luoran should have a long history in Penglai. However, she did not choose to show her weapon in front of people. It seems that she really doesn’t want to be recognized.
Lin Luoran has no idea about what Mu Qingshan is thinking. She has got in the carriage very soon and put the fake village mayor on the shafts of the cart. Mu Qingshan wakes up the little maid and takes red-eyed Mu Feiqiang out. The team finally sets off again.
This time the Mu caravan dare not stop. They change the route and choose to cross the mountain and bypa.s.s the closed city gate. The urgent thing now is to leave here.
Less than a quarter of an hour after they leave, the tranquility of the night is gone because of a neat horseshoe sound.
A neatly dressed imperial army appears outside the village. The leading general is dressed in black. Most of his face is covered by a delicate silver mask, and only a pointed chin and thin lips are revealed.
After checking the situation of this village, his men awaken a woman with water and take her to the masked man.
The woman shudders to explain the situation. The man in the mask purses his lips tightly. His voice sounds attractive and low, “You mean, you guys didn’t get arbalests and vice versa, Mus caught your boss? Well, it’s all because of a woman who is unarmed but not afraid of arrows? ”
Hearings these rhetorical questions, the woman is trembling. She doesn’t even know how to explain it.
What she said is true, but she still feels what happened is like a dream. How can she convince this powerful person in front of her?
“I believe you.” The man in the mask lowers his head slightly.
The woman is stunned and very thrilled, “Thank you, Seven…”The woman spits out blood suddenly, and she doesn’t get the chance to speak out the word after “seven”.
The masked man has already cut off the woman’s head with a shot.
He wipes the blood on the knife-edge and says to himself as if nothing happens, “I believe in you. However, I can’t help you clean up the mess.”
A young and powerful female warrior? The man with the silver mask thinks about it for a long time. He can’t remember this character in the empire. He whispers a few words, and then a small team ride away to chase along the rut.
“You guys clean up this mess. Do not leave any traces.”
“Yes!”
In the middle of the night, this small village is soon ignited by a blazing fire. When thick smoke disperses, there are only some charred corpses left under collapsed houses in the village.
In the mountain more than forty miles away, Lin Luoran retracts her spiritual mind and opens her eyes suddenly.
What a ruthless means to kill witnesses! None of the thieves pretending to be villagers have survived.
—As the old saying goes, most people with pointed chins and thin lips have a firm temperament, but they are cold-hearted. It seems that they are also vicious.
She lifts the curtain of the carriage. The Mu caravan finally has a moment of relief after walking all night. Mu Qingshan is was.h.i.+ng his face near a crock.
Lin Luoran raises her voice slightly, “Mr. Mu.”
