Mingyue's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Ran, her eyes filled with little stars.
Liu Wenshan suddenly realized it, but he didn't find it surprising.
Only Li Tianxin snorted and muttered in a low voice:
"Is he doing it for chivalry? Is he doing it for the reward of silver..."
Fortunately, no one heard this.
Jiang Ran glanced at the man opposite him thoughtfully.
He smiled and said:
"How did brother know about this? Were you also at the Cangzhou Prefecture Heroes Association that day?"
"No."
The man shook his head:
"I originally wanted to go, but unfortunately something happened and I stopped me. Now I regret that I missed such a heroic figure.
“The reason why I know these things is because the article [Cangzhou Heroes Association] in the [Unparalleled Heroes] written by Mr. Da was officially released.
"Nowadays, it is used and sung by storytellers in various teahouses.
"I didn't expect that in just a few days, Jiang Shaoxia's heroic deeds would be widely circulated."
After Mingyue finished listening, she stood up with a huff and was about to walk out.
Was stopped by Ye Jingshuang:
"where you go?"
"Teahouse."
Mingyue said:
"I'm going to attend the Cangzhou Heroes Meeting."
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Ye Jingshuang smiled and said:
"Don't look at what time it is now. How can anyone drink tea at this time?
"The storyteller can't start his lecture until tomorrow, and it can't be finished in one day..."
Jiang Ran nodded. At the critical moment, it was Ye Jingshuang.
Moreover, Mr. Da's fuss about this scene is probably far from reality, and it doesn't sound very interesting.
As a result, I heard Ye Jingshuang say:
"Let's go again tomorrow and spend a few days listening to it from beginning to end!"
Mingyue immediately nodded her head: "My cousin is wise!"
Jiang Ran: "..."
Liu Wenshan couldn't help but smile and raised his glass. Everyone started eating and drinking, and finally parted ways and went back to their rooms.
Early the next morning, after Jiang Ran got up, Ye Jingshuang came over.
It was said that Liu Wenshan had decided to settle in Cangzhou Prefecture.
In this case, Jiang Ran did not hesitate, and immediately prepared the carriages and horses. Those who should get on the carriage got on the carriage, and those who should get on the horse got on the horse. Everyone packed up and returned to Cangzhou Mansion first.
On the other hand, Ye Jingshuang and Mingyue were full of regrets, not being able to hear that Cangzhou Heroes would be very unwilling.
Jiang Ran was helpless, feeling that what he told them was no more true than what he heard from the storyteller?
But no one was looking for him, so he could only hold it in while smacking his lips.
He urged his chariots and horses to hit the road and rushed to Cangzhou Prefecture.
Along the way, Jiang Ran looked at Li Tianxin who was walking beside him and was speechless for a moment:
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you leave?"
"Where to go?"
Li Tianxin asked.
"……How would I know?"
Jiang Ran said in confusion:
"You and I just met by chance on the road, why are we still entangled with you?"
"Who's pestering you?"
Li Tianxin shook his head:
"I just feel that you are always going to get into trouble, and if you're either provoking the Demon Cult, you're provoking the Heavenly Palace, or you're the unintentional Ghost Mansion, sooner or later you're going to cause big trouble.
"If I follow you, I might run into the remnants of the Demon Cult.
"Wouldn't this save me a lot of time searching everywhere?"
When Jiang Ran heard what he said, he originally wanted to refute.
But when he said it, he felt that he was right.
Apart from anything else, I can't stand up to my own system without causing trouble.
Immediately sighed:
"As you like."
The journey to Cangzhou Prefecture is not far, and we did not encounter any disturbances along the way.
Unexpectedly, something happened when he was approaching Cangzhou Mansion.
At that time, we were still half a day's journey from Cangzhou Prefecture. The sun was shining brightly and we were tired. We wanted to find a shady place on the roadside to rest for a while.
Then I heard a cry of surprise coming from the forest.
The voice was not that of a woman, but that of a young man, full of panic.
When Jiang Ran heard this, his ears immediately stood up.
Said to Ye Jingshuang:
"Shuang'er, you stay to protect them."
Then he moved his feet, dragging numerous shadows with his body, and headed straight towards the place where the sound came from.
"I just know how to mind my own business..."
Li Tianxin frowned slightly, and immediately flew up and followed Jiang Ran.
Ye Jingshuang stayed with Liu Wenshan and Mingyue obediently, guarding the carriage to avoid any danger.
At the same time, take out a bolide.
This is the agreement we made with Jiang Ran before. If we encounter any situation along the way and he is not around, we will send out the fireball immediately. No matter what happens, he will return as soon as possible.
Jiang Ran plunged into the forest. Not far ahead, he saw the young man who was shouting in panic.
He is being hunted, but the person chasing him turns out to be a girl in her twenties and eighties.
This girl was dressed in moon-white clothes, with a heroic look between her brows. She held a dagger in her hand, aiming for her vital points.
Jiang Ran was stunned when he saw it.
His vision is no longer what it used to be. After fighting against masters so many times, he can tell a lot about other people's martial arts skills.
The young man seemed to be chased by the girl with nowhere to go, but he always avoided the critical moment when the opportunity was tight.
If it happens once or twice, it can be explained.
However, this girl acted very quickly. In the short period of time Jiang Ran saw, she had already launched more than ten moves in succession, and at least seven or eight of them were aimed at the vital point.
But every time, the opponent seemed to be clumsy, but in fact he avoided it easily.
"Isn't this a young couple flirting here?"
Li Tianxin's voice suddenly came to my ears.
Jiang Ran felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but after looking at it twice, he shook his head:
"No, there are other things around here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clicking sound.
Immediately after the shout, a big net suddenly popped up under the girl's feet.
He directly wrapped her completely in it, and as soon as the net was closed, the girl was involuntarily hung in the air.
This incident happened so quickly that the girl couldn't react in time.
When she came back to her senses, she could no longer move. The net was so dense that there was no room for her to swing the sword in her hand.
He could only shout angrily:
“It’s so despicable to place a trap in advance!!”
The young man smiled:
“The means are just the process, whether the goal can be achieved is the key.
"There are no despicable methods in this world, only good ones can be used."
Having said this, he lightly clapped his hands.
Immediately, I heard crashing sounds coming from all directions, and it turned out that there was an ambush around.
Just listen to the young man say:
"Even if you are not covered by this net, you will still fall into the siege.
"Miss Zhang, your appearance and life experience make you a good match for our young master.
"Don't struggle today, just come with us."
"Don't even think about it!"
The girl surnamed Zhang gritted her teeth and struggled a few times. She found that the net was really not moving at all. She felt anxious for a moment and couldn't help shouting:
"Help...Help!!"
The young man was happy when he heard this:
"Just scream, no one will come to save you even if your throat is broken."
As he spoke, he was about to wave his hand to restrain the person in the net.
But unexpectedly, a burst of breaking wind sounded.
The young man was startled when he heard the movement. He raised his head suddenly and saw a swordsman in black with a yellowish complexion and a cold and arrogant expression jumping out.
With a single twist of the knife in his hand, and with a hiss, the net was immediately torn open.
The girl inside screamed and was about to fly down.
However, he was held in the arms of the swordsman, and his body swayed to the tree trunk. He raised his foot and stepped on it. He bounced up again, and then landed on the ground.
He held a single sword in his hand, and his eyes swept over everyone present, but he didn't say a word.
The girl in his arms stared at Li Tianxin blankly, her eyes unblinking.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, someone would actually come out to save her.
Although he is not handsome, he is at least very... handsome.
Jiang Ran was a little confused. He was about to take action just now, and he didn't know what was going on with Li Tianxin. When he saw that he was about to take action, he quickly flew out, as if he wanted to grab something from him.
"80% of them are sick..."
Jiang Ran muttered in his heart, but suddenly frowned and looked in another direction not far away.
At the same time, the young man under the tree frowned slightly:
"Who are you? Dare to meddle in our business?"
Li Tianxin glanced at him without saying a word. He turned the sword in his hand, and the blade flew away, heading straight for the young man's face.
The young man was furious. He didn't tell them anything about his good deeds and didn't say a word. He came up and beat them.
This did not take them seriously at all.
He immediately shouted angrily:
"Kill the men and take back the women."
After saying this, he swayed and wanted to get out of the way of the blade, but he didn't expect that the swordsman in black had already arrived in the next moment.
The blade cut a path and went straight to his throat.
The young man was so shocked that he had no time to think about it and could only put his arms across his throat.
Just hear a dinging sound.
The blade landed on both of his wrists, but was unable to cut.
A look of surprise also appeared on Li Tianxin's face.
After taking a look at his wrists, I knew that he was wearing something on his wrists.
Immediately, his inner breath changed, and a strong force directly flew the young man away.
Looking back, two people had already arrived.
He shook the sword in his hand, and two blades flew out. Before the two men could realize what happened, blood splattered on their bodies, and each of them fell out.
The rest of the people were shocked.
The young man climbed up from the ground and shouted angrily:
"He has great swordsmanship, don't get close to him, use a hidden weapon!"
Immediately, those who had not rushed forward took out concealed weapons from their waists and threw them away shamelessly.
Li Tianxin's face darkened and he subconsciously blocked the girl behind him.
At the same time, a figure was seen flying down from mid-air.
The next moment, a shadow enveloped the three of them.
This phantom is wearing a Taoist robe, with angry Vajra eyes, as motionless as a mountain!
The hidden weapon landed on the shadow, making a clanging sound, but not even one of it could penetrate.
The young man was startled. When he looked closely, he saw that the person standing in front of Li Tianxin and the girl was also a young man.
He had a knife on his waist and a wine gourd in his hand.
Without even looking at them, he was drinking with his head raised.
But his pupils suddenly shrank:
"Jiang Ran!?
"Didn't you already leave Cangzhou Mansion?"
Jiang Ran was just raising his head to drink. Hearing this, he was stunned and glanced at this person:
"Which one are you?"
The young man didn't answer, but turned around and ran away:
"Get out, get out, get out!!"
I was in a hurry, as if I just hated my parents for having two legs.
When several other accomplices heard the word "Jiang Ran", they were also stunned. When they saw the young man running away, they suddenly realized and quickly used Qinggong to follow behind the young man.
Even the two people who were injured by Li Tianxin didn't care.
Li Tianxin glanced at Jiang Ran, feeling confused and confused.
How come the martial arts Jiang Ran used just now is so similar to the Brahma Vajra Technique of Baojing?
However, he didn't bother to ask at this time, so he flew to chase him.
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand to stop him:
"Don't chase poor bandits."
"This is not who you are."
Li Tianxin was a little surprised. Jiang Ran had always killed everyone, so why did he become a desperate enemy this time?
Jiang Ran looked towards a corner of the forest:
"Since you're here, why not show up and see me?"
A voice suddenly came from the forest:
“I’ve heard about Young Master Jiang’s reputation for a long time, and today I saw him and his reputation is indeed well-deserved.”
As the sound came, a sedan was seen coming from the forest.
Four ordinary-looking men carried the sedan two or three inches off the ground, their feet stepping on the void, making no sound.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Jiang Ran and others.
Li Tianxin and the girl named Zhang stared at the sedan, with wary looks on their faces.
Jiang Ran was dumbfounded when he heard this:
"I didn't expect that I would be famous."
"Anyone will become famous after receiving some encouragement from Mr. Da."
The person in the sedan smiled and said:
"But Young Master Jiang has misunderstood, and this is just a coincidence.
“When I saw Miss Zhang in danger, I planned to rescue her.
"But this brother took the lead."
When Li Tianxin heard this, he just sneered.
Jiang Ran nodded:
"I see. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let those people leave."
"They are just insects, so there is no need to worry about them."
The person in the sedan smiled again:
"It's a worthwhile trip to see Young Master Jiang today, but I still have important things to attend to, so I'll say goodbye first. Young Master Jiang, I'll see you someday."
"please."
Jiang Ran crossed his fists.
The four bearers carrying the sedan immediately lifted up the sedan again, still stepping on the void, two or three inches above the ground, and walked away step by step in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ran stared at the sedan and frowned slightly:
"Can you tell where they come from?"
Li Tianxin shook his head:
"Unheard of."
"kindness?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Li Tianxin in surprise.
Li Tianxin rolled his eyes when he looked at him:
"What? In this vast world, there can't be one person I haven't seen or heard of?
"You have to know that the Jin Chan Dynasty alone has two sects, two societies, five swords, seven sects and thirteen gangs. Together with the other four kingdoms, the entire world's masters are vast and endless.
"Not to mention those hidden masters who don't show their fame but have excellent martial arts skills.
“It’s really unusual for someone to pop up that I don’t recognize.
"In fact, even in Wenmo Pavilion, it is impossible to write about this world."
Jiang Ran was amazed when he heard this:
"How can the Jin Chan Dynasty accommodate so many sects?"
"That's natural."
Li Tianxin nodded: "This world is deep. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with your martial arts skills. Maybe a master will pop up at any time and beat you to the ground. Then he will poison your cup and force you to do whatever you want."
you drink."
"..."
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while. Why did he seem to have some personal emotions mixed in as he spoke?
He turned around and glanced at the girl named Zhang, and found that the girl was looking at Li Tianxin intently, and couldn't help but smile:
"Girl, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Li Tianxin also lowered his head and glanced.
When their eyes met, the girl realized what she was doing. She quickly hit Li Tian and broke free from his arms, cupping her fists and cupping her hands:
"Thank you so much, young hero, for saving my life."
Jiang Ran felt that he seemed to be completely ignored.
Li Tianxin nodded:
"Okay, be careful next time."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The girl was stunned and quickly followed behind him:
"You haven't asked the young hero Gao's name yet?"
"If we meet by chance, why do we need to exchange names?"
"You saved my life, how could I not even know the name of my benefactor?"
Li Tianxin looked back at the girl, his eyes full of impatience.
The girl smiled:
"My name is Zhang Zhihua."
"I didn't ask you."
Li Tianxin's face darkened.
Just listen to Jiang Ran laugh and say:
"It turns out to be Miss Zhang. The person in front of you is called Li Tianxin."
"Li Tianxin!?"
Zhang Zhihua's eyes lit up: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere... By the way, Mr. Da mentioned it in the Cangzhou Heroes Association... You are the Li Tianxin who suppressed Zuo Kuangge with a single sword and was unable to fight back?"
Li Tianxin frowned more and more and glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Are you leaving yet?"
"Let's go."
With a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face, Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin rushed towards the carriage.
Zhang Zhihua was unwilling to give up and followed the two people, asking Li Tianxin questions as they walked.
Li Tianxin had blue veins on his forehead and didn't answer any of Zhang Zhihua's questions.
However, Jiang Ran occasionally answered a few words.
The girl asked, where are you going?
Jiang Ran told her that they were going to Cangzhou Mansion.
Zhang Zhihua immediately said happily that she was going to Cangzhou Mansion too.
Taking advantage of the situation, he asked Li Tianxin if he could go with him?
Before Li Tianxin said anything, Jiang Ran nodded in agreement.
Li Tianxin sneered again and again, looking at Jiang Ran with a look that made him want to eat someone.
Jiang Ran winked at him and smiled unbridled.
Li Tianxin was helpless. Even though he was full of anger, he couldn't kill Jiang Ran, so he could only walk ahead with a dark face.
Jiang Ran casually chatted with Zhang Zhihua.
Zhang Zhihua is young and ignorant of worldly affairs, so how can he be Jiang Ran's opponent?
In just a few words, Jiang Ran found out the details clearly.
I know that this girl was sent to a sect called "Mingyu Tower" to practice martial arts since she was a child.
For many years, I have been practicing in the door.
Now Yicheng is coming down the mountain, preparing to go home to visit his parents.
According to her, her family is an official, and now her father has been transferred to Cangzhou Prefecture and is the new governor of Cangzhou Prefecture.
As for the origins of those people before, she knew nothing.
But when the road was rough, he drew his sword to help, and ended up falling into such a trap.
Jiang Ran asked casually, and she answered casually. Most of what she said was just out of her head. She just looked at Li Tianxin from time to time, wishing she could have her eyes on him.
