The sound was floating, seemed extremely far away, and yet seemed to be right next to my ears.
Jiang Ran raised his head and looked towards the end of the street.
Everyone immediately followed his gaze and saw a swaying sedan gradually appearing in everyone's field of vision.
The sedan chair is not very gorgeous, but the top of it is extremely exquisite.
Four ordinary-looking men carried the sedan, each with no expression on their faces.
But when his eyes fell on their feet, he could clearly see that all four of them had feet that did not touch the ground. They were only two or three inches away from the ground, and they came with their feet in the void.
Seeing this, the faces of the five major sword sects changed greatly.
I just feel appalling.
What kind of person in this world can practice Qing Gong to such an extent?
And, there are four of them as soon as they appear?
Why would such a master carry a sedan chair for others?
Furthermore, if such a master can carry a sedan chair, what kind of identity will the person in the sedan chair have? How unpredictable?
Just when they were each thinking, Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Is this meeting a coincidence, or is it that... your honor has been following us since the beginning of Cangzhou Mansion?"
"Young Master Jiang has misunderstood."
The voice coming from the sedan was very gentle, as if he had no temper at all:
“I was also attracted by the Red Maple Villa during my trip.
"It's just that I came a step late... and never met Jiang Shaoxia.
"Later, when I wanted to meet Jiang Shaoxia, I learned that Shi Pingzhang was also here.
"I guessed that this person was definitely not the young hero's enemy, so I went to get something.
"After that, I hurriedly hurriedly and slowly, and finally I arrived."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, feeling that this person was talking nonsense. What does it have to do with me if you go to get something?
He didn't take the opportunity to ask what he had taken:
"Why did you tell me to stop just now?
"What is your connection with this person?"
“I’ve heard its name and learned about it before, but this is the first time I’ve seen it alive.”
The person in the sedan smiled and said:
"However, this person is of great use to me.
"I don't want Young Master Jiang to chop off his head, so I want to ask Young Master Jiang to hand this person over to me."
"absurd."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"This man is harder to catch than a pig during the Chinese New Year. Now he has finally fallen into my hands. Why should I hand him over to you?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Pingzhang and Ruan Yuqing looked at Jiang Ran angrily at the same time.
Anyone who saw this scene was a little confused.
Shi Pingzhang was insulted like a pig by Jiang Ran, so it was natural for him to glare at him angrily.
Why did Ruan Yuqing still share the same hatred with Shi Pingzhang?
The person in the sedan was speechless for a while. After a while, he finally spoke, with a smile in his words:
"Young Master Jiang is indeed interesting...
"However, isn't it true that Jiang Shaoxia captured this person to hand him over to the government?
"To be honest, if you hand it over to the government, you can only get a reward of 30,000 taels of silver with the sword-catching order in your hand.
"But if you give it to me, I can give you fifty thousand taels."
"Do you think I am short of money?"
Jiang Ran had a strange expression.
"ah?"
The man in the sedan was stunned for a moment:
"No shortage?"
"No shortage!"
Jiang Ran was categorical.
"oh……"
The man in the sedan smiled, his words a little softer:
"It turns out that Jiang Shaoxia catches thieves and seizes people out of a public spirit, which is so admirable."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, unsure for a moment whether this man's words were true or sarcastic.
But I saw the sedan curtain swaying slightly, and I heard the person in the sedan say:
"Young Master Jiang, continue."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound, and something like a thunderbolt suddenly arrived in front of Jiang Ran.
"careful!"
Everyone shouted.
Jiang Ran turned the broken gold knife in his hand, and with a snap, the thing temporarily stuck to the scabbard of the broken gold knife.
Jiang Ran moved his hand, and the broken gold knife rotated into a circle, removing the force from the thing.
Holding the sword in front of him, he looked around and saw that what was placed on the scabbard was a token.
Now one side is facing up, and the word "holding a sword" is written on it.
I couldn’t help but be stunned:
"Are you from the Sword Holding Division?"
"Exactly."
The person in the sedan smiled:
"So, it's the same whether Young Master Jiang hands this person over to me or to the government.
"Leave it to me and it will be faster.
"It would be cumbersome to avoid procrastination. What do you think, Young Master Jiang?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and suddenly waved his hand.
The token with the word "holding the sword" printed on it immediately broke through the wind and went straight to the sedan to hit it.
The two sedan bearers in front suddenly raised their heads and struck out a palm each.
Invisible force suddenly rose up, and with a buzzing sound, it seemed to form a wall of Gangqi.
The token that Jiang Ran played was immediately blocked in the void, and the token trembled and buzzed.
The two bearers looked at each other, and there was a look of surprise on their originally emotionless faces.
I just feel that the power on this token is endless.
It seemed as if what they were blocking now was not a dead thing, but a master who could use his internal energy to continuously take action.
"The True Heart Sutra of Creation, which conquers the creation of heaven and earth, is truly extraordinary."
The person in the sedan smiled lightly:
"Get out of your way."
The two bearers were silent for a moment and lowered their palms.
The invisible air wall disappeared, and the token flew directly into the sedan with a whooshing sound.
But it is like a mud cow entering the sea, without any ripples.
I heard the man in the sedan laugh and say:
"Young Master Jiang, do you still have doubts?"
Jiang Ran looked back at the people from the five major sword sects and said with a smile:
"If you really are the swordsman, I naturally have nothing to say.
"However, catching Shi Pingzhang was not my fault alone."
"It's natural."
The man in the sedan smiled and said:
"I have always heard of the reputation of the five major sword sects.
"This time you all joined forces to win the Shi Ping Zhang, which is really an act to eliminate evil in the world and benefit the people.
"The imperial court will never make things difficult for you...
"Well, since you are not swordsmen, it is not easy for you to use money as a gift.
"That's it, I agree with you all.
"If you are willing to hand him over to me, this person will never threaten the five sword sects in the future, let alone harm the people of our Jin Chan Dynasty.
"What's more, he will never appear in our Jin Chan Dynasty in the future.
"What do you think?"
The five major sword sects looked at each other, and finally Su Wanyi took a step forward:
"I dare to ask, what is your identity?"
"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you this bluntly."
The man in the sedan chair smiled and said:
"I have a special status. If I tell anyone about it, I'm afraid my life will be short.
"But...if you can't trust me, I don't know if you can trust this..."
While the man was speaking, another sign flew out from the sedan.
Jiang Ran was amazed when he saw it, and thought to himself, could this person be a wholesaler of tokens?
If you say take the sign, take the sign.
Is there a small box in this sedan, which contains various brands, and is given out to everyone who meets it?
And this sign is far inferior to the sword-holding order that was hit at Jiang Ran earlier.
The force was just right and it landed right in front of Su Wanyi.
She caught it with the scabbard.
When he came closer to take a look, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed it to Huang Xuan and others.
I heard Ling Buyi tut:
"The 'One Order' of Dao Yizong is not something that ordinary people can obtain.
"If you are not a disciple of the Taoist Sect, then you must have a lot of background."
"Exactly."
The person in the sedan smiled and said:
"That's why you can't talk nonsense."
"Since it is an order from the Youdao Sect, it can be trusted."
When Su Wanyi said this, she glanced at Jiang Ran and nodded slightly.
Jiang Ran glanced at Shi Pingzhang, then looked back at the sedan:
"Your Majesty, you know that Shi Pingzhang is a man of extraordinary martial arts. If you are not careful about what you just promised, most of us in the field today will be killed or injured.
"You hold the sword-holding order and the order. Don't break your promises when you promise.
"If any of the people present today had the slightest mistake, they would be destroyed in the hands of Shi Pingzhang.
"Even if you break the Taoist sect once, Jiang will find you and seek justice from you."
Jiang Ran's voice was not loud, but it was decisive and did not allow for criticism.
The sound is like a sword, and the words are like a knife, as if they are meant to be engraved in the other person's heart.
"good."
The answer from the other side was also very straightforward:
"I put the head on my neck as a guarantee. If any of the people present today are harmed by Shi Pingzhang, I will hand over the head myself without Young Master Jiang taking action!"
Jiang Ran breathed out:
"In that case...there is one last thing."
When he said this, he looked at Shi Miao, who looked concave on one side as if he was fine:
"Miss Shi, come here."
Shi Miao came to Jiang Ran with a solemn expression.
"The tricks you left on her should be taken away by yourself."
Jiang Ran looked at Shi Pingzhang.
Shi Pingzhang frowned slightly:
"Methods? Haven't you solved them all?"
Although he said this, he already stretched out a hand and grabbed Shi Miao's wrist.
After a moment, he frowned: "Don't play tricks on me! This girl is totally fine!"
"fine……"
Jiang Ran glanced at Shi Miao and realized that what happened in front of Qianliu Villa could not be fake.
But Shi Pingzhang didn't seem to be lying.
In other words, Shi Pingzhang really doesn’t know how this happened?
Thinking of this, he grabbed Shi Pingzhang's shoulders:
"then!"
He threw it away.
Shi Pingzhang was caught in mid-air by the palms of the two bearers.
At the same time, Jiang Ran pressed the knife with one hand.
Be ready to take action at any time.
Before that, he had already assigned Shi Pingzhang the task.
If the system does not change after being handed over to the other party, it means that the identity of this group of people is not true.
Then you have to take action.
On the other hand, if the task is completed, it means that they are really from the Sword Holding Division.
This matter can now come to an end.
At this moment, a voice of complaint came from the sedan:
"Young Master Jiang, please be gentle. It's a rare thing to live in. If it's broken, I'll have to pay for the diagnosis and treatment."
At this point, I saw the sedan curtain open, and something came rushing towards the river through the wind.
Jiang Ran saw clearly this time that his opponent had all these things in his hands.
Astonishingly, they were banknotes one after another.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, this reward... was a bit uncomfortable.
The core of Shi Pingzhang's martial arts is the "Book of Inhumanity".
Most of the chaotic funeral chapters also come from this.
As a result, there was no trace of the book of unkindness, and I only got a funeral medal of chaos.
He originally hoped to bring together the internal strength of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to push the Right Heart Sutra of Creation to the ninth level.
From the looks of it, it still doesn’t work.
Thinking of this, he sighed, full of disappointment.
The voice in the sedan suddenly sounded:
"But the number is wrong?"
"ah?"
Jiang Ran raised his head, and after a sudden realization, he shook his head:
"No, the number is correct..."
"Then why did Young Master Jiang sigh?"
The man in the sedan looked a little confused.
"Nothing to do with you."
Jiang Ran waved his hand: "Okay, you have already got the man, you can go... By the way, Ding Feng, do you want him? He will be imprisoned in Hongfeng Villa for now, why don't you just take him away with him?"
He suddenly remembered that since this man held the sword-wielding order and had a different identity, he could help him solve Ding Feng's matter.
To avoid having to make another trip.
"..."
After the man in the sedan was silent for a long time, he said leisurely:
"I don't want anyone...
"He is of no use to me, so just cut off his head and hand it over to the government.
"Young Master Jiang, we will meet again later."
After saying that, the sedan slowly lifted up, turned around, and walked toward the end of the street.
As for Shi Pingzhang, it seemed that his acupoints had been controlled by someone, and he was sticking it under the sedan, as if it was glued to it, and was taken away.
Jiang Ran glanced at Su Wanyi and saw that the token in her hand had been returned to her.
While everyone looked at each other, Ye Jingshuang broke the silence:
"Who...is this person?
"What else can the Shi Ping Zhang be used for?"
Jiang Ran tapped his fingers and glanced at her:
"You think about it for yourself first, and I'll give you an idea...
"Will Shi Pingzhang be able to take orders from others?"
"Won't!"
Everyone spoke at the same time.
Jiang Ran spread his hands: "That's it."
Everyone looked at each other, Ye Jingshuang's face gradually showed a look of surprise, Ruan Yuqing and Su Wanyi were also thoughtful, and Gu Huaikong sighed:
"If this is the case, this person's identity is extremely valuable!"
Jiang Ran nodded:
"I can get an order from Dao Yizong, and the four bearers are accompanying me to protect my safety.
"But I can't tell myself my identity...
“He has leaked a lot of things.
"But don't discuss this matter anymore. If you are not careful, it may have something to do with it."
Ye Jingshuang and the others nodded.
Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi looked at this and that, and couldn't help but jump on their feet and said:
"You...are you ignoring us?
"What are you talking about?"
Ling Buyi also frowned:
"Why are we the only ones left out?"
"no."
Gu Huaikong looked at the two of them strangely:
"Young Master Jiang didn't whisper anything to us..."
"Didn't you also hear what he said?"
"This...Uncle Master Gu, what exactly do you mean?"
Huang Xuan scratched his head:
"Shi Pingzhang doesn't take orders from others, so the person in the sedan is busy today in vain?"
"Of course not...he won't take orders from others, but he has things he wants to do."
Gu Huaikong said:
"And the man in the sedan also wants to do this.
"Two people will reach an agreement on this, so Shi Pingzhang naturally doesn't need to take orders from others."
Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi were stunned at the same time.
Recalling Shi Pingzhang's words just now, his goal was never the five major sword sects, nor the Taoist sect.
But the number one master in Li country... Bai Yulou!
If the people in the sedan also want to deal with Bai Yulou, or in other words, they want to deal with Li Guo.
It is only natural that we should agree with each other.
However, if this person's goal is really this, then his own position and status cannot be underestimated.
In addition to the two points Jiang Ran just mentioned.
Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi looked at each other and took a breath of air.
But no one said anything more about the matter.
The matter of releasing Pingzhang has come to an end. Jiang Ran called people from the five major sword sects to come over and take out all the gold, silver and jewelry from the secret room.
Go back and find a place to turn it into cash notes for easy carrying.
In addition, some of them belong to Liu Wenshan.
Now that he is established in Cangzhou Prefecture, he needs money in many places.
You can entrust someone to send some of the gold, silver and jewelry together with the banknotes, so that he can have some financial resources and not panic.
The disciples of the five major sword sects never dreamed that they would be slaying demons in the first half of the night and moving in the second half of the night.
But he did it quite happily.
Especially when I think of what Jiang Ran said to the person in the sedan just now, if anyone here today is destroyed by Shi Pingzhang, then he will have to find the person in the sedan and ask him for help even if he defeats the whole Taoist sect.
A fair one.
No matter whether this is a beautiful word or it comes from the sincerity.
All the disciples of the five sects had a favorable impression of him.
Originally, Jiang Ran had saved their lives before Hongfeng Villa.
And tonight, the more I looked at Jiang Ran, the more pleasing I felt.
Li Tianxin watched with cold eyes, knowing that Jiang Ran had really made a lot of friends during his trip tonight.
When the group of people returned to Hongfeng Villa, it was already ugly time.
It was still early before dawn, so after putting down the things, they went to rest.
Jiang Ran couldn't sleep well for a while.
Besides him, there were also Ye Jingshuang, Li Tianxin, and Luo Qingyi in the room.
Zhang Zhihua was kicked out by Li Tianxin.
A group of people were sitting on the table, looking at a guqin and looking at each other.
"Is this Jiaoweiqin?"
Li Tianxin looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
From the outside, there is nothing surprising about this piano.
The qin has seven strings and is completely purple and black. It is engraved with phoenix tail carvings. Although it is beautiful, it is nothing more than that.
Jiang Ran pondered slightly, took the piano, and groped the body inch by inch with his fingers.
Li Tianxin and others knew that he was looking for the mechanism of the piano body, so they did not disturb him and waited quietly.
Jiang Ran frowned, groping and searching over and over again, and finally frowned slightly:
"it's here!"
He pointed to the side of the piano body and tapped lightly:
"There's... a secret hidden inside, and it's empty inside."
"real or fake?"
Li Tianxin tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, and found that the place Jiang Ran pointed to was completely natural, without any trace. He felt that Jiang Ran was just boasting.
"Since Brother Jiang said that, it must be true."
Ye Jingshuang looked solemn:
"But, how to open it?"
If you can't get the secret hidden in this piano, you won't dare to use it easily even if you get it.
If you are not careful, you may be hurt by the sound of the piano.
"This... I'm afraid we need to study it further."
Jiang Ran sighed. Although he had seven skills, he could find out the key to these mechanisms.
But he doesn't know anything about mechanism skills.
The Jiaowei Qin was the proud work of Fenghuo Lanshan back then and was included in the Twelve Heavenly Skills.
It cannot be opened by just relying on a pair of skilled hands.
