After the five of them escaped from the encirclement, they ran for 20 miles in one breath and arrived at the foot of the Dragon Mountain. The sky was getting dark. The five of them tied their horses to a tree and stopped to rest. The five of them had escaped from the inn in a hurry. They did not bring any food or water. At this moment, they were thirsty, hungry, and tired. Some sat on the roots of the tree, while others sat on the rocks. The leopard told Lin Wa to find food and water while he held some dry branches and started a fire.
Under the light of the fire, Ma Lianhua suddenly saw the leopard wearing red clothes. She giggled and said,"Leopard, whose clothes did you steal?”
"What's going on?" the leopard asked in surprise. I'm clearly dressed in black.”
The ice-blue woman giggled and said,"This red dress saved your life." They were only paying attention to the three figures.”
"But when we ran away, those three figures were gone."”
The ice-blue woman treated them as friends and finally told them the truth.""This is illusion, magic. You have to keep it a secret."
The leopard and Ma Lianhua said,"We must keep it a secret!"”
"Then why can't they see us running away?" asked the leopard.”
"You're wearing red clothes. They thought you were a woman, so they didn't notice you.”
Ma Lianhua laughed out loud.”
The leopard was shocked and said,"Tsk tsk, if the illusion is so powerful…then he's invincible!"”
"Come here," the ice-blue woman said,"and I'll turn you back."”
The leopard stood up in embarrassment. The icy blue woman waved her fan, and the leopard's red clothes immediately turned black. Ma Lianhua and the leopard burst into laughter.
Lin Wa had stolen two chickens and an iron pot from a farmer's house. She boiled a pot of hot water, killed the chickens, plucked the feathers, and went to the mountain stream to wash them. After a while, Lin Wa came back with two clean chickens.
"Do you want to eat roasted chicken or boiled chicken?" the leopard asked the ice-blue woman.”
The ice-blue woman said,"As the guest, please."”
"Without chopsticks and bowls, of course we'll eat roast chicken," said Ma Lianhua.”
"Yes, yes, Miss Ma is smart. Look at how stupid I am."”
The ice-blue woman and Ma Lianhua looked at each other and smiled.
The leopard said to Lin Wa,"Go and find two tree sticks. We want to eat roast chicken."”
Lin Wa accepted the order and left.
Senior Brother Bai, who had been silent all this while, asked,"Where is the checkpoint of the bridge you were talking about?"”
"It's not far," said the leopard."It'll take three to four hours. However, the mountain road was narrow and it was not easy to ride a horse.”
Senior Brother Bai said,"We'll go wherever we ride."”
After the five of them ate the roast chicken, they slept in the wild for a night. After daybreak, the five of them washed their faces in the mountain stream. The leopard said to the ice-blue woman and Senior Bai,""My two esteemed guests, I'm sorry, there are no inns nearby. We have to go to the bridge checkpoint to eat.”
The ice-blue woman giggled and said,"I'm not hungry. It's okay."”
Senior Brother Bai didn't say anything. He just nodded and everyone rode their horses to the bridge checkpoint. In the beginning, they could still ride horses on the mountain road, but after half an hour, there was only a narrow mountain road. The five of them dismounted and led the horses. The ice-blue woman suddenly said to Ma Lianhua,""Sister, that Young Master Ji from yesterday was really funny. He thought I was Mei Ruxue. Who do you think this Mei Ruxue is?"
"I don't know her. Perhaps his sister was too similar to Mei Ruxue, so Young Master Ji couldn't tell her apart.”
"Looks like I'm fated to be here! There is someone who looks like me in this place. I really want to meet her.”
"Longshan County is so big, it's hard to find one."”
"It's not that there's no way to find it," said the leopard with a smile.”
"Leopard, what do you have in mind?" the woman asked.”
"I'd better not say it," said the leopard. Saying it would damage the dignity of a heroine."
The ice-blue woman wanted to know and encouraged,""There's no harm in telling me."
"It would be easy if we could put a bounty on the portrait of the heroine in the whole county.”
Ma Lianhua rebuked,"Leopard, you can think of that." Wouldn't that make him a wanted criminal?"
"Like I said, it will damage the dignity of a heroine. Pretend I didn't say anything."
"It's alright," the ice-blue woman replied.
"Heroine, I have another idea," said the leopard.”
"What?" the woman asked. Just say it."
"Ask that Young Master Ji."
"He's going to take revenge on us, and you're going to deliver yourself to him?" Ma Lianhua said.”
"That's not what I meant. Let's send someone to ask him.”
"Yes, this is a good idea," the ice-blue woman said.”
"When we reach the bridge, I'll send someone to ask Young Master Ji."”
The five of them walked for about three hours and arrived near the bridge. When the leopard saw a red flag and two sentries from the People's Liberation Army, he was shocked. He thought that in less than twenty days, the bridge had fallen and the checkpoint at Rubble Hill was in danger. Frustrated, he told everyone to stop and observe the other side.
After a long time, the leopard said,"The special forces of the People's Liberation Army are also here. I reckon that Long Kong 'er is also here." This bridge is the only way to Wolf Fang Village, and our path has been cut off.”
"There are only a few of them," Senior Brother Bai said indifferently.”
"Senior Brother Bai, you might not know this, but Long Kong 'er is very powerful."”
"What's so great about him?" Senior Brother Bai asked.”
The leopard said," His right palm is extremely strange. It can emit blue light that carries electricity. Those who touch the blue light will have their whole body twitch. In serious cases, they will die instantly. Moreover, he could spin the sword to form a blue halo that made him invulnerable.”
"You saw it with your own eyes?" Senior Brother Bai asked.”
"Those brothers who saw it with their own eyes said so.”
Senior Brother Bai said,"What a marvelous story. How can there be such a person in the world?"”
Ma Lianhua said,"There really is such a person." Many of our brothers were killed by him."
"If there really is such a person, then we didn't come here in vain," said the ice-blue woman. Don't you think so, Senior Brother?"
"Mm."
The leopard said," Senior Brother Bai, heroine, the People's Liberation Army doesn't know you. You guys walk in front." If we pretend to be from the Golden Dragon Gang and go to the top of the mountain to pick herbs, maybe the People's Liberation Army will let us go.”
Ma Lianhua said,"Leopard, the People's Liberation Army will recognize you and Lin Wa."”
"That's not difficult," the ice-blue woman giggled. If I change their faces, the People's Liberation Army won't be able to recognize them.”
The leopard said happily,"Yes, the heroine has magic. Change us."”
"Alright, I'll change you."”After saying that, he waved his folding fan a few times. The leopard and Lin Wa's faces turned black, and there was a long scar on their faces. "That's right. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell."”
Seeing Lin Wa's change in appearance, the leopard smiled and said,"Not bad, I really couldn't tell."
The five of them continued to walk toward the bridge.
When the five of them reached the bridge, the tall sentry shouted,""Stop, what are you doing?”
"We're from the Golden Dragon Gang. We're going to the top of the mountain to pick herbs.”
The tall sentry saw that they were indeed dressed like Jianghu people and said,"Come here one by one."
The five of them went over one by one. The sentries checked each of them. Three pistols, one steel knife, and three swords. The tall sentry said,"Leave your pistols here. I'll give them to you when you come back.”
The leopard said," Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, there are ferocious beasts on the mountain. It's very dangerous for us without guns.”
"That's the rule," said the tall sentry.”
"If you want to keep the pistol, then so be it." A saber and a sword were enough to deal with ferocious beasts.”
The leopard said,"Alright, take good care of it. I'll come back and get it."”
The tall sentry put away their pistols and said,""You guys can leave."
"Thank you, People's Liberation Army," said the leopard.
The five of them quickly walked towards the back of the mountain behind the bridge. A patrol team saw five people climbing the mountain and immediately ran towards them. "Who are you?" the patrol captain asked.”
"We're from the Golden Dragon Gang," said the leopard.”
"What are you doing here?" the patrol captain asked again.”
"We came up the mountain to pick herbs."
The patrol captain looked at the five of them carefully and asked Lin Wa,""Are you from the Golden Dragon Gang?"
"Yes," Lin Wa said.
"Unbutton your shirt," the patrol captain said.”
The leopard immediately understood. The members of the Golden Dragon Gang all had a golden dragon tattoo on their chests, but Lin Wa did not. The leopard was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly said,"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, there are two ladies here.”
"Then please leave, ladies," said the patrol captain.”
Ma Lianhua and the ice-blue woman turned around and walked to the side.
The patrol captain looked at Lin Wa's chest and ordered,""Come with us."
The leopard knew that he had been exposed and shouted,"Hurry up and do it!"”
Lin Wa drew his sword and slashed at the patrol captain. The captain turned around and kicked Lin Wa in the thigh. Lin Wa tilted his body and raised his sword to slash at another patrolling soldier. The patrolling soldier blocked it with his rifle, but Lin Wa cut off his rifle. Lin Wa took the opportunity to slash at the head of the patrolling warrior.
The leopard drew its sword and stabbed at the patrol captain. The patrol captain took four or five steps back and shot at the leopard with his pistol. Unfortunately, the shot missed. The bullet brushed past the leopard's waist, and the leopard's sword had already pierced the patrol captain's chest. The patrol captain spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The leopard pulled out a bright red sword from the patrol captain's chest and stabbed at another patrol soldier. The patrolling soldier stabbed at him with the gun barrel. The leopard turned its body sideways and slashed the patrolling warrior's arm. The patrolling soldier endured the pain and stabbed the leopard's back with the gun barrel. The leopard jumped away.
Ma Lianhua brandished her sword, causing the 3 patrolling soldiers to retreat. One of them was unable to retreat in time and was stabbed in the right chest by Ma Lianhua. Another patrol soldier fired at Ma Lianhua. The leopard pounced over and slashed the sword horizontally. Instantly, blood flowed from the necks of the two soldiers.
The gunshots alerted the bridge. Forty to fifty soldiers of the People's Liberation Army fired as they charged at the leopard and the others.
The leopard shouted,"The People's Liberation Army is here. Run!"”
The leopard and the others ran towards the back of the mountain. They were very fast, leaving the People's Liberation Army far behind. About five minutes later, the leopard saw the mountain road behind the bridge and said proudly,"We finally passed."
As soon as the leopard finished speaking, two soldiers and a machine gunner were lying on the low stone wall and shooting at them. The leopard and the others immediately dodged.
