After Ji Yuchun was rejected the first time he sent flowers to Mei Ruxue, he still couldn't accept it. Every afternoon after class, he would still send flowers to Mei Ruxue. When Mei Ruxue rejected him, he would throw the flowers away. It was like this a few times in a row. Mei Ruxue couldn't stand his pestering and complained to her parents about it.
"How shameless!" Owner Mei was furious. Butler, go and call Ji Yuchun over immediately.”
When Ji Yuchun received the notice to head to Mei Ruxue's office, he guessed that it was about sending flowers to Mei Ruxue. He was a little nervous. Taking Yoshihara's feelings into consideration, Dojo Master Mei said,""Ji Yuchun, you're still an intermediate class student. You have to focus on practicing martial arts.”
"Yes."
"I heard from the coach that you haven't been paying attention in class recently, and your martial arts hasn't improved much. However, did you know? This is a time of war. If you don't have any real ability, how can you protect yourself? How can we protect our country?"
"I know. Only those with true ability are strong.”
"Do you send flowers to Mei Ruxue every day?" she asked.”
"Yes, I am. I like to give it to her."
"Xue 'er doesn't like it. Why do you always give it to her? You're embarrassing her in front of her classmates.”
"But I was engaged to her before I was born.”
"Student Ji Yuchun, betrothal is a matter for the parents. Now that the country was about to be liberated, the times were different. Parents can't arrange marriages."
"I'm sincere to Mei Ruxue.”
"I know you're sincere to Xue 'er. No matter what, don't send flowers again. Don't hurt Mei Ruxue's feelings. Otherwise, I'll put you in confinement.”
Ji Yuchun felt resentful after being criticized by Dojo Master Mei. He asked for an afternoon off from Coach Mei and went home to report to his father. Ji Yuanfu was very unhappy after hearing this. The next day, he asked Ji Yuchun to pass a letter to Hall Master Mei, saying that Ji Yuchun and Mei Ruxue were originally engaged before they were born. It was normal for young people to send flowers, so they should not make a fuss. Moreover, he asked about the marriage agreement between the two families as the ten-day deadline was approaching.
Dojo Master Mei believed that it was a blessing or a curse, and that there was no way to avoid it. If Ji Yuanfu really wanted to cause trouble, he could only leave it to fate. In the end, Dojo Master Mei decided to cancel the pre-arranged marriage and personally deliver the betrothal gifts and apologize in person. In order to prevent bandits from robbing the betrothal gifts on the mountain road, Owner Mei specially selected twenty students from the advanced class to escort them. These students were fully armed, equipped with steel knives and shields.
On this day, Dojo Master Mei, the butler, and ten advanced class students carried two boxes of betrothal gifts to Yoshihara's house. As they approached Wild Boar Ridge, they saw a mountain road with a steep hillside on one side and a rapid stream on the other. The hillside was overgrown with weeds, and the Yin Qi was very heavy. Owner Mei felt that something was wrong and waved her hand to stop everyone. She said,""Students, bandits robbed the grain team last year. Everyone must be vigilant and move forward carefully!”
The students had only heard of how powerful the bandits were, but they had never fought with them. They were uncertain and tensed up when they heard what Hall Master Mei said. Owner Mei walked in front and carefully observed the hillside. When she didn't see any movement, she asked the butler to throw a dart. The butler had mastered the art of throwing darts, and the power of darts was astonishing. He took out a dart from his waist and threw it with all his might. The dart flew in a parabola to the top of the hill 200 meters away. However, there was still no movement on the hill. "Students, it's not good to stay here for long. Let's quickly pass through!"”
The students jogged into Wild Boar Ridge. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by someone shouting,""Brothers, charge!"
It turned out that these bandits were the Wolf Fang Village's leopard action team. They were originally lying in ambush for the special forces that were searching the mountain. Seeing so many people escorting the two red lacquer gift boxes, the leopard felt that these two gift boxes contained treasures. He couldn't bear to part with this fat piece of meat and decided to snatch this batch of treasures at the last minute.
Owner Mei was shocked. She looked up and saw that it was indeed bandits. There were about thirty of them, some with guns and some with knives. They swarmed down the hill and shouted,"Charge! Charge!"
The students immediately squatted down and used their shields to block the bullets. This kind of shield was made of steel, and its surface was coated with bright oil. It was very smooth, and ordinary bullets would be slowed down when they hit it. It would not penetrate the steel plate and could block bullets. With the shield in her left hand and the Green Dragon Sword in her right, she said calmly,""Students, don't panic. Butler, you take the things and leave first. I'll cover the rear!”
The butler said,"Head, you go first. I'll cover the rear!"”
"No, listen to me. You go first!"
"Head…"
"Don't be long-winded. Let's go!"
The butler quickly retreated with the four students carrying the gift boxes. In the blink of an eye, the bandits were right in front of him. Dojo Master Mei was the first to face the enemy. She brandished her glittering Green Dragon Sword and charged into the bandits. The students brandished the steel knives in their hands and fought with the bandits. The sounds of killing and clanging were chaotic. As if she had entered an uninhabited realm, her sword was as fast as the wind. Wherever the sword went, blood splattered. Several bandits were killed by the sword, and her face and body were covered in blood. Seeing this, the bandits were so frightened that their faces turned pale. How could they dare to fight? They retreated one after another.
The leopard, who was chasing after the gift box, saw that there was such a fierce person in the escort team. He wanted to turn around to support and shouted,"Lin Wa, hurry up and chase after the box! I'll go and stop them!"
Lin Wa accepted the order and led a few bandits to chase after the butler. Meanwhile, the leopard turned around and charged at Dojo Master Mei. The leopard didn't attack immediately when he arrived in front of Owner Mei. He pointed his sword at Owner Mei and said,""Hurry up and hand over the box, and I'll spare your life!”
" How dare you!" Hall Master Mei shouted." How dare you steal something from the Dragon Mountain Martial School in broad daylight! Die!"”
The leopard laughed sinisterly." Alright, you're really a reckless old thing. I'll let you know how powerful Lord Panther of the Wolf Fang Village is!"”The leopard moved its feet while staring coldly at Hall Master Mei.
"Surrender now, or else I'll turn you into a dead leopard!" Owner Mei sneered.”
The two of them attacked at the same time. With a clang, the two swords collided and a silver light flashed. The two of them took three steps back at the same time. Owner Mei felt that this person was not an ordinary swordsman. She did not dare to attack rashly. She looked at him and tried to find his weakness.
After a few seconds of confrontation, the leopard drew its sword. It stabbed at Owner Mei's abdomen and then at her throat at an astonishing speed. Hall Master Mei immediately moved and waved her sword to stop him. Fortunately, he dodged quickly and was not stabbed in the throat. However, a faint bloody wound still appeared on her neck. Dojo Master Mei was shocked. He had almost lost his life in one move. Dojo Master Mei leaped five steps away.
When the leopard noticed that Owner Mei was injured, he revealed a smug expression and swung his sword again. This time, Owner Mei had seen through his weakness. She swung her sword and pulled out his sword, slashing at his head. Then, she slid down and slashed at his right arm. The leopard waved his sword to block the attack. With a " pu " sound, a cut appeared on the leopard's right arm, and blood dripped down. Then, she sheathed her sword and stabbed at his throat. The leopard hurriedly took three steps back and stared at the tip of the sword. Dojo Master Mei sheathed her sword and bent her right knee slightly. She moved slowly around him and suddenly slashed at his left and right. The leopard could only parry, unable to fight back. However, the leopard's defense was tight, and the owner of the Plum Pavilion had no chance to take advantage of it. The two of them fought back and forth, their swords clashing with each other, clanging, and killing each other for dozens of rounds, but there was no winner.
"Lord Panther, Lin Wa has succeeded!" A bandit reported.”
Seeing that the treasure had been snatched, the leopard ordered,"Brothers, retreat!"
The bandits heard the order to stop fighting and fled up the mountain. The leopard sheathed his sword, jumped a few steps away, and turned to run up the mountain. In the blink of an eye, the bandits disappeared without a trace.
The butler, whose face was covered in blood, ran over and cried,"Head, the gift box has been stolen."
Two wounds on her body were bleeding profusely. Unable to pursue, she swore,""Damn bandits, I must take revenge!”
Hall Master Mei led the injured team back to the dojo. When Lady Mei and Mei Ruxue heard that Hall Master Mei had returned, they ran to the entrance of the dojo together. When they saw Hall Master Mei covered in blood, they hugged her and wailed. " Don't cry," Hall Master Mei consoled." I'm fine."”
Mei Kunli also ran over and cried as he asked,""Dad, who hurt you?"
"Child, you must remember that it was the leopard from the Wolf Fang Village who robbed us and killed our people. We must take revenge!”
Mei Kunli was furious. His eyes were like fire as he swore,"Father, I will definitely kill the leopard! I want to join the army!"
"I agree."
"Father, I want revenge!" Mei Ruxue said firmly. I want to join the army too!"
"Xue 'er, you can't go," Madam Mei said anxiously.”
"Mother, if we don't eliminate the bandits, they will come and harm us.”
"Xue 'er, you're just a girl.”
"Mother…"
"You guys should join the army together! The siblings could take care of each other.”
Madam Mei said,"Old Master, the siblings have gone. What if something happens to them?"”
"Madam, don't say anymore. If we don't eliminate the bandits, how can we have peace?”
After Captain Yang of the special forces learned that Longshan Martial School had been robbed by bandits, he rushed to Longshan Martial School. Commander Yang checked on her injuries, comforted her, and asked her how she had been ambushed. Hall Master Mei explained in detail how he was ambushed by the bandits at Wild Boar Ridge. When Company Commander Yang learned that they did not have guns and were able to fend off the bandits 'attacks with their swords and sabers, he clicked his tongue and praised,""Hall Master Mei, the Dragon Mountain Martial School is amazing. Thank you for nurturing so many outstanding talents for the country.”
"Commander Yang, you flatter me," said Hall Master Mei with a smile. Cultivating talents for the country is the responsibility of Longshan Martial Arts School. Unfortunately, these students had no actual combat experience.”
"Head Mei, you students will definitely become the pillars of the country after training in the army for a few years.”
"I hope so. Company Commander Yang, how is Long Kong 'er doing in the army?”
At the mention of Long Kong 'er, Company Commander Yang beamed with joy and said,""You mean that Long Kong 'er? He's really amazing. His martial arts are strong, and he's brave and fearless. He discovered the ancient tomb and the secret passage. He even made a first-class contribution!"
"Company Commander Yang, Long Kong 'er is a first-class expert in our dojo and will make great contributions in the future.”
"I'd like to hear the details," Commander Yang asked in surprise.”
"He has magical martial arts. He can fight against ten or even a hundred people by himself," said Pavilion Master Mei mysteriously.”
Commander Yang laughed and said,"Then the elimination of the bandits is just around the corner!"”
Owner Mei smiled and pondered for a moment before saying,""Company Commander Yang, I have a request for your approval.”
"Please speak."
"My son, Mei Kunli, and my daughter, Mei Ruxue, are both good at martial arts. They also strongly request to join the army.”
"Alright, thank you for your support to the troops, Manager Mei! After I report to the regiment headquarters, I will come back to receive it.”
"Alright, thank you, Commander Yang!"
"Head Mei, please recuperate. I will take my leave now.”
"Take care, Company Commander Yang." Dojo Master Mei stood up to send him off.
"Please stay, Hall Master Mei," advised Commander Yang.”
