Chapter 91 This ambition
lasts all year round! ?
Jiang Ran glanced at the man in front of him with some surprise:
"Mr. Chang, are you the county magistrate?"
"Exactly."
Chang Nian smiled and nodded:
"Young hero, please."
He extended his arms to invite Jiang Ran to sit down. Down.
Jiang Ran nodded:
"Thank you, sir."
The two of them sat down separately, serving tea.
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"You're welcome, Sir Chang. This is why I'm here today."
He picked up the baggage on his hand.
Chang Nian took a look and said,
"This is this?"
"A person named Xu Hongyi."
Jiang Ran said, "As far as I know, the court once offered a reward for this person, five hundred taels of silver."
"That's it."
Chang Nian He nodded and said: "Since the young hero has the order to capture the sword, I thought it was true. Someone is coming."
As soon as he called, a government official answered outside the door, and two people walked in within a moment.
Chang Nian said in a low voice:
"Go and get the five hundred taels of silver notes."
"Yes."
The two government officials agreed, turned and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran was completely relieved. He just looked at Chang Nian again and smiled:
"Your Excellency, you don't know my purpose of coming, but you see me so easily. Do you know that I am here?
" "Hey, this one of yours has the mark of Cangzhou Prefecture. The young hero must have come to Cangzhou Prefecture, and he must have gained the trust of Lord Fu Yin. "In this case, I can't help but see you
. Chang
Nian said with a smile: "I thought Lord Fu Yin was looking for me for something, but I didn't expect it was because of this." "
" Let the adults down.
" What are you talking about? "
Chang Nian quickly shook his head: "Young hero eliminates harm for the people and relieves the troubles of the court. This is reasonable and reasonable. How can I disappoint you? " "
The two people exchanged a few polite words about this, and the two government servants had already returned. They
handed the five hundred taels of silver notes to Jiang Ran. After checking them clearly, Jiang Ran said goodbye. He
had not had any guests all year round. He stood up and sent Jiang Ran out.
He didn't say anything along the way. He had always thought that Jiang Ran came to him under Guo Chong's instructions, so he met him in person. Now that he knew it was a misunderstanding, it was natural that he was not familiar with it. There was nothing to say. He
could only casually chat about some anecdotes to ease the awkward situation.
Jiang Ran was more thinking about Wuming's identity.
Although he knew before that the identity of the person he asked himself to protect must be special.
Zuo Daozhuang's People want to investigate the 'old monster' they call in Benma County, but they can't avoid the person. Naturally, he is extraordinary. But they didn't expect
that he would be the magistrate of Benma County.
What is Dao Wuming like with him? relationship?
Or, what is the identity of Dao Wuming? I
briefly considered the circumstances of meeting Dao Wuming these two times.
One was a meeting of heroes, and the other was a gathering of a group of people from Zuo Daozhong in Zuo Daozhuang.
It seems that every time Once, it may cause a big incident.
And every time, Dao Wuming is there...
Just thinking of this, Jiang Ran suddenly frowned and looked at the eaves in the distance. There was a person squatting on it, with his arms raised. He stood up, with a strange-looking thing tied to
his arm. As he grasped it with his palm, he heard the whizzing sound of projectiles breaking through the wind, and he was already in front of him in the blink of an eye. He was
completely unaware of this all year round, and was still following Jiang Ran laughed and talked about anecdotes.
Jiang Ran had already stretched out his hand and clasped Chang Nian's shoulder.
As soon as he stepped down, the nine steps of Tiangan suddenly moved, dragging the afterimages heavily, and he had already risen into the sky.
The man who fell behind him flew away. On top of the building.
Several bangs, bangs, and bangs were heard, and the thing that the man had hit landed on the spot where the two of them had just stood.
At this time, there was an explosion, and smoke suddenly filled the air in all directions.
The whole person was confused all year round. Yes, we were still joking just now, why did I run so high in the blink of an eye?
What was that thing that exploded on the ground? It was pink, pink, and green, and quite beautiful...
Two thoughts flashed past, and I knew what was going on. No.
I quickly looked at Jiang Ran, and before I could ask, I suddenly caught a glimpse of light from the corner of my eye.
Looking along the light, I saw two people standing on the eaves in the distance.
One was dressed in white as snow, and his face was like snow. A woman as frosty as ice.
She was holding a long sword, and the blade of the sword had already pierced into the chest of a man in black.
The man in black was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the sword flashing across his body, half of his body was cut off. They were torn apart by the sword light, and the corpse rolled down from the eaves.
The woman in white flicked the blood on the sword and looked back at Chang Nian and Jiang Ran.
She pondered slightly, turned around, and jumped down from the eaves. He is nowhere to be found.
I have been looking at it for a long time, confused, what is this?
"Mr. Chang, please be patient. The smoke under your feet should be regarded as smoke. It will dissipate with the wind in a while, and you can Went down. "
Jiang Ran's voice came into his ears at this moment:
"I have something to do, so take the first step. "
Ah?" "
Chang Nian was stunned for a moment, and saw a figure flash, and Jiang Ran flew away as if crossing the void.
Only Chang Nian was left standing on the roof alone, messy in the wind:
"I... How should I get down? "
At this time, the sound of footsteps came, but it was the officials in the government office who were attracted by the movement here and rushed to check the situation.
As a result, the first two did not figure out what was going on, so they plunged into the fog and turned over. He fell down.
Seeing this, the people behind him immediately did not dare to rush forward.
Chang Nian hurriedly shouted:
"It's smoke, wait until it clears before coming in." " Hearing that their adults were fine, the rest of the group breathed
a sigh of relief. They held their nerves and waited for the smoke to dissipate.
... Jiang Ran left in a hurry because of Shi Miao. Naturally, he wouldn't worry. If something happens to Shi Miao, even if it does happen, isn't it her own choice?
In this regard, Jiang Ran never felt that he had any obligation to pay for other people's choices.
But...he has to care about Zuodaozhuang.
Shi Miao was too murderous.
What he practices is a killing sword, and his men will never show mercy wherever it passes.
Now that she turned around and left, she must have found traces of Zuodaozhuang.
If she was allowed to go on another killing spree, who would investigate the whereabouts of the 'old monster'? If the old monster can't be found, how can Jiang Ran be sure whether this matter has anything to do with the old drunkard?
This is the most important thing for him.
In contrast, the affairs of the Wuxin Ghost Mansion and the Hong Maple Leaf Family have to be pushed to the back.
As a disciple of the Danyang Sword Sect, Shi Miao's martial arts skills needless to say. From what he saw that night, he was far ahead of Li Tianxin.
However, her traces are too heavy, so it is not difficult to chase her.
Jiang Ran followed the map and found his way out of Benma County in a matter of seconds.
Further forward, you will enter the forest.
Jiang Ran was cautious.
As the saying goes, don't enter the woods.
This is a lesson learned with blood.
The terrain in the forest is narrow and changeable, and trees block the view. It is easy to hide a killer in invisible places.
The vegetation is lush and there may be traps hidden underground.
If someone deliberately and unintentionally sets up a trap in the forest to lure people here, they will probably be able to get in but not get out.
There are many people in the world who have suffered losses and been deceived, and have been tired of their lives.
But Shi Miao didn't care about this.
He swaggered directly into the forest, and wherever he passed, sword energy soared into the sky.
Jiang Ran followed the trace not far and heard the sound of weapons clashing.
Flying to the vicinity, he saw Shi Miao fighting with a group of people.
Jiang Ran carefully identified this group of people, but he really couldn't tell the way. They might be people from the left side of the gathering at Zuo Daozhuang that night, or they might have just arrived in the past few days... However, no matter who it was, this group of
people This group of people were all beaten back by Shi Miao.
In terms of martial arts alone, Shi Miao was far superior to them.
But soon, Jiang Ran discovered that something was wrong.
Although Shi Miao had the upper hand, he had never been able to kill anyone until now.
Slowly Jiang Ran discovered something strange.
There were six people on the opposite side, and they all used different methods.
Two used fists and palms, two used swords, one played drums, and one beat gongs.
The person wielding the sword was closest to Shi Miao, and the sword blades crossed each other, making a clanking sound. This was the sound that Jiang Ran heard just now.
Those who used fists and palms afterward would take advantage of every opportunity to make up for the weaknesses, or take advantage of the situation to attack.
This is clearly the way to change the formation.
The two who played the gongs and drums at the end were on the outside. Even in the most critical moment, the other people did not let them replace them. Instead, they protected them at all times, for fear of losing something.
And every time the gongs and drums sounded, Shi Miao's sword would slow down a bit.
It was clear that the person in front of her was just one point away from being pierced by her sword, and she forced him to escape.
Shi Miao's face was expressionless, and his whole body was filled with coldness. He only waved the long sword in his palm, but never glanced at the two people outside.
"Array and sound skills?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, unsure.
Because he heard this thing in his ears, he really didn't feel anything weird about it.
But Shi Miao's performance was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
And just after Jiang Ran watched for a while, Shi Miao had gone from having the upper hand to becoming a crisis.
She is now starting to get tired of dealing with it. Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to Jiang Ran's Kun Zi Thirteen Crazy Demonic Claws.
They all take an indomitable path. When they have the upper hand, they are naturally unstoppable and their opponents will find it difficult to resist.
But once you fall into a disadvantage and fall into a defensive position, you will be stretched thin.
Moreover, whenever there is a critical moment, the sound of gongs and drums will follow.
Shi Miao's movements slowed down so much that in this short period of time, dangers were everywhere.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
"You can try..."
He looked on coldly, watching Shi Miao enter a critical situation again, and the gongs and drums were about to sound. At this moment, he pinched his lips to make a whistle, and a sharp and harsh sound came out. The 'whistle' sounded briefly and rapidly.
It was at that moment when the gongs and drums sounded.
The two voices suddenly met. When the long sword in Shi Miao's hand shook, he heard a buzzing sound and a flash of blood. There was a man with a sword in front of him, and there was already a scar on his arm.
The others looked horrified, and their feet changed one after another, trying to escape Shi Miao's pursuit.
The figure beside him flashed, and a punch landed right in front of Shi Miao.
Shi Miao could only deal with the situation in front of him and could not continue to kill people.
The man with the sword escaped from the disaster and looked back at the two men who were playing gongs and drums.
All three of them had confusion in their eyes.
Just looking at Shi Miao again, I really couldn't bear to let it go, so I immediately regrouped and repeated my old tricks.
The sound of gongs and drums also sounded again at the critical moment.
But every time this sound sounded, the short and rapid whistle would come again.
This sound also contained inner power, which completely broke the sound of their gongs and drums.
Only two or three times before and after, the four people who mainly took action among the six people were already covered with scars.
"We can't go on like this...
" There are experts secretly disrupting the situation. Under these circumstances, if we continue to fight like this, we will die here. "
Someone spoke, and some immediately agreed.
But some people had different opinions:
"But now even if we want to leave, can they just let us go? "
After these words came out, several people suddenly fell silent again.
Although this person was hiding in secret, although he never showed up, judging from the internal power contained in the whistle, they were definitely no match for him. What's more,
there was also a Danyang Sword The master of the faction?
The other party doesn't even have to do anything. As long as he whistles there, Shi Miao will kill everyone on his side.
Now that he wants to leave, who can be willing?
"Give it a try!" Since he just whistled to stop us and didn't show up... I think he may not be trying to embarrass us. Maybe he just doesn't want us to bully the few.
"Even if it's not the case, if you give it a try now, you still have a chance to escape. Otherwise, today next year will be our death anniversary."
As soon as these words came out, the remaining people nodded immediately. When the six people reached an agreement, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the few people gathered up and left.
The whistle that would have sounded every time did not sound this time.
After this pause, by the time Shi Miao reacted, these people had already run out.
She was about to give chase, and then the sound of gongs and drums started again... She paused again, but after the pause, she continued to persevere.
She is really like a persistent sword. Once it is unsheathed, it will never return until it is stained with blood.
Jiang Ran looked at it for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Although the sound of gongs and drums is somewhat helpful, it is still difficult to completely control Shi Miao.
It's okay to kill people, but it's not easy to get rid of them.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, then stared at Shi Miao's heart.
The next moment, Shi Miao really stopped motionless.
It wasn't until those people got away some distance that Shi Miao suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Ran standing behind her:
"What are you doing?"
"Do you, Senior Sister Ye, know that you like to repay kindness with enmity?" "
I ..."
Shi Miao was determined to tell the difference, but since Jiang Ran would appear, it was obvious that the whistle just came from his mouth.
It is reasonable to say that he saved her life.
He immediately took a deep breath, and the coldness on his body became even stronger:
"Why did you let them go?"
"Why did Dao Wuming come to find you?"
Jiang Ran said as he walked forward in the direction in which those people left.
Shi Miao followed him subconsciously:
"Protect Chang Nian and eradicate Zuodaozhuang."
"Did you add the last sentence yourself?"
Jiang Ran looked at Shi Miao.
Shi Miao was silent.
Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment:
"Do you know how to protect a person?"
Shi Miao didn't even think about it: "Nip the threat in the bud!"
"That makes sense! But do you know where the source of the danger is?"
"Left Daozhuang."
"Then you go to Zuodaozhuang and kill the owner?"
"...I can't find it."
Jiang Ran secretly wiped his sweat. Listening to what she meant, if she could find Zuodaozhuang, she would He just rushed in and killed someone.
Jiang Ran immediately sighed:
"As far as the current situation is concerned, the key lies in the young village owner, and further down, there are those people who come to Benma County to work.
"There must be someone who is the leader among them, even if Even if he is not the young village owner, it is extremely important.
"Even if you show off your power today and kill these people who are besieging you, as well as those who are on the eaves, and deal with the people all year round, what will it do? "The
key black hand is still hidden behind the scenes. Surrounded by others, they were killing each other, waiting for the other party to take action one after another, and he was tired of dealing with them.
"As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. How long can you defend for?
"If you are not careful, Chang Nian's life will be at risk... I think Dao Wuming asked you to come here, not to let you die for Chang Nian. "
..."
The aura on Shi Miao's body became colder and colder, and there was no expression on his face.
Jiang Ran thought that she didn't hear a word of his words.
He just heard her gritting her teeth and squeezing it out from between her teeth. A few words:
“Then what should I do?
"Use these people as a guide to find where they gather and find the people behind the scenes. " "
Jiang Ran smiled slightly and said,
"In this way, knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.
"Okay, I'll go find it! " "
Shi Miao Leng Bingbing spoke, and as soon as the sword energy around his body turned, he was about to speed up.
Jiang Ran was stunned and said quickly:
"Stop! "
Shi Miao buzzed and stood still, looking back at Jiang Ran, his eyes were as cold as frost, and the aura around him was as thick as a sword:
"What's wrong? "
...You are so eye-catching." "
Jiang Ran said: "Retract your sword energy to avoid being noticed. In addition, after finding the traces, don't show up, otherwise you will alert them and it will be difficult to find them again. "
" Once you find it, just kill it.
Shi Miao looked at Jiang Ran in confusion:
"What else is there to scare the snake? " "
How did this woman grow up? Why can she be so murderous?
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while:
"Are you sure?
"...Give it a try, even if you don't succeed, it's just death. "
"There is no need to live or die. " "
Jiang Ran took a deep breath and said,
"Think about it, now your Senior Sister Ye is also in Benma County, and Senior Tian Luotong in the Palm, no matter what happens, I will be here too.
"If you can detect their traces, just come back and explain.
"With so many of us together, aren't we much more confident than you alone?
Shi Miao thought about it carefully and said,
"But what if they don't want to? " "
Why not? " "
Jiang Ran was confused.
"Not everyone who learns martial arts wants to be a chivalrous and righteous person and wipe out injustice in the world. Shi
Miao said coldly:
"This is what I want to do. I practice swordsmanship for this purpose. This will last until death. However, there is no reason to think that others should be the same as me." "
Jiang Ran was stunned, but he didn't expect that such words would come out of the mouth of a cold girl.
After smiling at the end, he suddenly understood why she and Ye Jingshuang became close friends.
