Looking up, he saw a group of girls from the Shuiyue Sword Sect standing on the street. On the other side were Li Tianxin holding a knife and Luo Qingyi carrying a bag.
Ruan Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Is the matter done?"
Jiang Ran could only nodded and looked at Ruan Yuqing:
"Miss Ruan is still here... I prepared your detoxifying pill overnight last night, and now the Biluo poison in your body has been cured.
"I expect there won't be any more problems, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Ran couldn't sleep well last night.
Just when he was about to lie down, Fang Li brought all the medicinal materials he needed.
I thought I would be separated from Ruan Yuqing and the others today.
So I simply prepared the elixir overnight.
I sent it to Ruan Yuqing early this morning.
As a result, Ruan Yuqing said that they had been delayed in the Sanhe Gang for a long time and could not stay any longer.
Decided to go with Jiang Ran.
But when it comes to leaving, it's not like we have to walk half way towards the sky.
Instead, he followed Jiang Ran all the way to Sanshui County Government Office.
Jiang Ran came here, of course, for the silver reward from Wu Zhong and the Sanshui Demon Lord.
Sanshui Demon Lord was a wanted criminal twenty years ago. Although the case has been closed now, Jiang Ran, as a knife hunter, holds a knife arrest warrant, indicating that although the case back then has been eliminated, the man is still alive.
You can still get the reward money through this.
As for Wu Zhong...
Although he is famous on the sword-wielding division list, as a master who escaped from Ouchi, he is naturally indispensable in the sea arrest documents.
The silver reward is still thirty-nine thousand taels, which is not a penny.
Plus a Sanshui Demon Lord’s twenty thousand taels of silver.
For fifty-nine thousand taels of silver, the magistrate of Sanshui County will be crying bitterly in his yamen.
It's just that as a reward for these two people...Jiang Ran felt a little tangled.
Wu Zhong's reward is a set of palm techniques called [Heaven-Overturning Divine Palm].
But the reward of the Three Water Demon Lord is eight years of inner strength.
Logically speaking, he received these two rewards directly.
But the problem is, Jiang Ran still has four BUFFs on his body now.
If you know how to collect it, Jiang Ran feels that it is not cost-effective no matter what kind of payment it is.
Especially the Heaven Overturning Divine Palm... If this palm technique was really powerful, how could Wu Zhong be defeated so easily?
Even with the blessing of BUFF, it is probably just the icing on the cake for Jiang Ran.
As for internal strength... I still don’t know what the specific improvement mechanism is.
If each BUFF can increase the internal energy for ten years, that would be a full forty-eight years of internal energy, which is quite impressive.
But even so, it is estimated that the improvement of the Zhengxin Sutra of Creation is extremely limited.
After all, there is still a lack of internal strength to fill the gaps in the Three Nines of the True Heart Sutra of Creation.
Jiang Ran thought about it and decided not to receive these two rewards yet.
Let it go first... don't give up, don't claim it, and wait to see if there are any other rewards later.
At this moment, Jiang Ran's data panel is also quite rich.
【Knife catcher system!】
[Host: Jiang Ran]
[Apprehension target: None]
[Capture progress: none]
[Obtained the reward: Tianfu Divine Palm (twenty-nine years), not received yet.]
[Reward obtained: eight years of strength, not received yet.]
[Nine Deaths: Repairing...]
[Remaining life span: three years, six months and nine days!]
In terms of lifespan alone, it is no longer the same as before.
When Jiang Ran captured the Second Lord of Yang and Moon, his lifespan had already increased to two years and ten months.
Later, he captured Shi Pingzhang, Wu Zhong and Sanshui Demon King respectively.
And some bits and pieces of little people.
Take away the time wasted on the road...so far, life has made great progress.
Jiang Ran would have some doubts just when he occasionally looked at the words 'Nine Deaths'.
When the system says 'under repair', is it really being repaired, or is it... just getting rewards and injecting lives?
This question will not be answered for a while.
However, if the system is really using this to repair the Nine Deaths, then there will definitely be a certain degree of progress.
Perhaps after reaching a certain peak, there will be some external manifestations.
After thinking about these things in his mind, Jiang Ran left the county government office. As soon as he went out, he found that Ruan Yuqing and the others were still at the door.
That's why the above words came to be said.
"rest assured?"
Ruan Yuqing sighed:
"I would like to feel reassured, but I really feel uneasy.
"The news about Jiao Wei has begun to spread in all directions, and you will become the target of public criticism.
"How can I feel relieved?"
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"It turns out you can't trust me..."
Li Tianxin on the side rolled his eyes again and sighed. His eyes were full of dejection, and he seemed to be too lazy to pay more attention.
"That's true."
Ruan Yuqing said: "You admit that Jiaowei is on you because of our consideration. How can we abandon you now? At least, I will follow you before going to Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain."
"What about them?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the other disciples of the Shuiyue Sword Sect.
In the previous battle with Wu Zhong, their injuries were not very good.
There will definitely be danger around Jiang Ran next, and if they follow... they may lose their lives if they are not careful.
Ruan Yuqing understood what Jiang Ran meant and said:
"I have already arranged that they will return to the Shuiyue Sword Sect first.
"I will follow you alone... I know that you are very powerful in martial arts, but one person can be short-changed. Even if I am not as good as you in martial arts, it is always better to have multiple people, multiple ideas, and multiple ideas when it comes to something."
"Since Miss Ruan has made up her mind, Jiang cannot stop her. Just let her do whatever she wants."
Now that the talk has come to this, Jiang Ran doesn't know how to refuse.
Ruan Yuqing immediately nodded with satisfaction.
He also said goodbye to these Shuiyue Sword Sect disciples one by one and told them to be careful on their way.
In fact, there is not much danger.
Ruan Yuqing specially found a person to lead the team, and the Shuiyue Sword Sect was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Even Wu Zhong, if it hadn't been for Jiao Weiqin, would never have done anything to the Shuiyue Sword Sect.
Everyone knows that the Shuiyue Sword Sect is unprecedentedly united, and the elders in the sect are extremely protective of their shortcomings.
Once you provoke one, a group of them will be killed.
As long as these people don't cause trouble along the way, they can reach the Shuiyue Sword Sect smoothly.
Then there is the person who leads the team, Ruan Yuqing carefully selected him.
He is smart and has strong martial arts skills, so he was entrusted with the important task.
Look at Ruan Yuqing's explanation of what needs to be explained.
Jiang Ran looked into the distance to see where the Sanhe Gang was.
When they left this morning, Fang Yinuo and Fang Li, together with a large group of hall masters, all came out to see them off.
For Jiang Ran, this small meeting on the waters of Sanhe was just an episode in the journey.
But for Fang Yinuo and the others, there are still many things to deal with.
Heishui Village can't just let it go... However, this is also a family matter, and Jiang Ran doesn't care about the specifics.
After looking at it twice, he withdrew his gaze and smiled softly:
"In that case, let's go."
…
…
There are many stars, and the cold moon hangs high.
Under the darkness, on the edge of the woods, a flame was lit.
Luo Qingyi took out two roast chickens, four pig feet, three water bags, and four sesame cakes from the bundle.
He quickly placed these things next to the fire.
Then he gave the water bag to Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing.
Ruan Yuqing thanked him, looked at Luo Qingyi, and really wanted to praise him for his kindness...
But considering that the other party was really a strong man, these words were swallowed in the stomach.
Li Tianxin held the knife, leaned against a tree, opened the water bag and took a sip:
"Isn't this too quiet?"
"yes."
Luo Qingyi also nodded when he heard this:
"I thought that after the young master spread the news about Jiao Weiqin, it would inevitably lead to a manhunt all over the country.
"Who would have thought that these seven days have passed without any movement at all."
"Don't be careless."
Ruan Yuqing spoke softly:
“The more this is the case, the more careful precautions must be taken.
"Earlier when you were on your way, you could still see some bandits and road tyrants. Now even these people have disappeared. Obviously there is another mystery."
"Probably, they are secretly poking and preparing for some big move."
Jiang Ran's voice came from the tree.
He was sitting on a tree branch, holding a wine gourd and drinking wine.
Maybe he was drunk, and his legs were hanging down and swaying.
Ruan Yuqing raised his head and glanced at him:
"What are you doing sitting so high?"
"Isn't this observing the surrounding environment?"
"Then what did you observe?"
"No."
Jiang Ran curled his lips and flew down from the tree:
"Except for the wild beasts in the forest, which were a little bit agitated by the smell of barbecue, I didn't find anything else.
"Do you think these people are trying to ambush me in front of Sunset Ping?"
"Who knows..."
Ruan Yuqing said:
"You released the news too early, and they may have done too many things.
"In this case, it's hard to guess."
"But it will come eventually..."
Jiang Ran stretched and sniffed again:
"Qing Yi is really good at making rice these days."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
A smile appeared on Luo Qingyi's face:
"This is what I should do."
Li Tianxin curled his lips and glanced at Luo Qingyi: "Is there anything to be happy about?"
Luo Qingyi said matter-of-factly:
"It's natural to be happy to be appreciated by the young master."
"It's really promising."
When Jiang Ran heard this, he glanced at this more promising person and said with a smile:
"Brother Li, is it time to pay the recent food expenses?"
Li Tianxin snorted:
"What's the big deal if you just pay me? I have plenty of money!"
While talking, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.
Jiang Ran never ate alone, and he always had a lot to share with them.
Especially Li Tianxin, who has experienced Shi Pingzhang's incident since Yang Yue Erjun. Although he is not as rich as Jiang Ran, he still has several thousand taels of silver.
He immediately clicked and took out a few banknotes and gave them to Jiang Ran:
"Here, a year's share!"
Jiang Ran reached out to take it and glanced at it:
"It's not enough."
"I gave you a full three hundred taels of silver, how could it not be enough?
“How much does an average person need for food and clothing in a year?”
Li Tianxin was furious: "These are enough for me to eat for several years!"
"It's not enough, brother Li, you underestimate yourself... As the saying goes, a half-grown man is poor, and you are in this half-grown man stage now.
"As an old man, why don't I charge more?"
Jiang Ran chuckled and said: "In addition, Brother Li, I advise you to be polite when talking to me. You know that I have no other hobbies, I just like to shake my hands and poison... Although I have no intention of killing, but
My hands were itchy and no one else was around, so I had no choice but to attack the people around me."
The previous words originally made Li Tianxin want to curse.
The next words completely blocked the curse words.
He glanced at Jiang Ran bitterly:
"I'll make a list for you sooner or later...
"Okay, I'll give it! How much do you want!?"
Jiang Ran was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but said:
"Before asking this, I also want to ask you, how long do you plan to follow me to eat and drink for free?"
Li Tianxin almost hit Jiang Ran on the head with the scabbard.
This shameless person... while asking for money and food expenses from himself, he also said that he was eating and drinking for free!
Where can I eat and drink for free?
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Leave me alone……"
“Then let’s count it as five years.
"One thousand taels a year, five thousand taels a year."
Jiang Ran held out five fingers.
"I'll chop it up for you!!"
Li Tianxin finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so he drew his sword and cut with a cry.
Jiang Ran grinned and didn't care. He flipped his fingers to grab the knife, but saw the blade rolled and the rolling blade made it difficult for him to make an easy move.
Then, when I sweep the knife in, I hear a ding sound.
The blade of the blade was flicked by Jiang Ran for some unknown reason.
The blade suddenly flew upward.
Just listen to Jiang Ran laugh and say:
"You boy, have you ever heard that good work is better than hard work and less fun?
"Your sword skills haven't improved much in the past few days.
"It's okay to chop firewood, but if you want to deal with me, you still need some heat.
"Besides... you are too grumpy, aren't you? You eat and drink for free with me, and I ask you for food expenses, and you draw your sword to kill people... This is the behavior of a devil."
"The lion's mouth is the behavior of the devil!"
After Li Tianxin swung his sword twice, he felt a little calmer.
In fact, Luo Qingyi and Ruan Yuqing were used to this kind of thing.
Jiang Ran would have quarrels with Li Tianxin from time to time, and would make gestures at every turn.
When Jiang Ran got interested, he even took Li Tianxin to have a discussion.
The length of time varied, but the final result was the same, both ending up with Li Tianxin suffering from a bruised nose and swollen face... Fortunately, Jiang Ran was a skilled doctor. Li Tianxin had a bruised nose and swollen face the day before, but he was back to normal the next day.
"Then you won't give it, right?"
"Give!"
Li Tianxin plucked the banknotes in his hand fiercely, as if they were not money, but Jiang Ran's face was printed on them.
However, after finishing fucking, Li Tianxin was dumbfounded:
"Not enough for five thousand taels..."
"It's not enough. How much difference is there?"
"There are still three thousand two hundred taels left."
"..."
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while. Don't you have enough for five thousand taels? You don't even have two thousand taels.
Finally sighed:
"Forget it, let's pay one year's payment first, and pay for the rest later."
Li Tianxin snorted and took out a few more banknotes and handed them to Jiang Ran.
Seeing how serious they were speaking, Ruan Yuqing couldn't help but say:
"Young Master Jiang...do I have to pay too?
"But when I travel around the world, I always have a breeze on my sleeves, and I don't have so much money..."
Jiang Ran glanced at her:
"No money..."
Ruan Yuqing was stunned when he heard this and saw Jiang Ran looking at him with a smile on his lips.
My heart suddenly tightened...and my mind began to churn.
Jiang Ran also understood this girl.
Shuiyue Sword Sect, the pure and pure soft water sword...
This is known to the world.
But Jiang Ran suspected that Rou Shui Jian had not been out of the martial arts world in the past few years, so he probably stayed in the Shui Yue Sword Sect and read some weird miscellaneous talk books every day.
Even without even reacting to a word, this girl could interpret different vehicle speeds from unexpected angles.
The smile immediately faded away:
"what's on your mind?"
"I...I didn't think about anything!"
Ruan Yuqing's face was calm and calm for a moment.
"...Only a ghost would believe you."
Jiang Ran curled his lips:
"Don't worry, you are different from him. If you don't have money, you won't have money."
"That's unreasonable!"
Li Tianxin was furious: "Why is it different?"
"The starting point is different."
Jiang Ran said: "People follow me because they want to protect my safety."
"Am I not?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Ran spoke righteously: "Not to mention whether you have the ability to protect my safety, what was the reason you gave me in the first place? You must have forgotten even yourself... You think I am used to causing trouble, so you want to
Look for clues around me and trace the traces of the Demon Cult.
"This is so dangerous, so the money you give is not just food expenses..."
"I……"
Li Tian thought for a long time and found that he could not refute.
I was so angry that I jumped for a while.
Ruan Yuqing glanced at Li Tianxin with some surprise.
Just as they were about to ask something, Jiang Ran suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them from speaking.
He raised his head and looked deep into the forest.
After a while, there was the sound of rustling footsteps.
Luo Qingyi suddenly felt excited.
He stood up eagerly:
"Is there finally someone who is not afraid of death?"
While he was speaking, the visitor had already passed through the dark area of the forest and stepped into the light of the fire.
Then he saw the roasted chicken next to the fire. Without thinking, he stepped forward and took a roasted chicken in his hand. He didn't bother to burn his mouth and opened his mouth to nibble on it.
Jiang Ran glanced at him silently, then waved to Luo Qingyi and asked him to sit down.
Then he smiled and said:
"Is it tasty?"
The visitor nodded repeatedly.
"this is ours."
The man said while eating:
"I know……"
My mouth was so full of chicken that I couldn't speak clearly.
Then I heard Jiang Ran say:
"You have to give money..."
"How much? I have it!"
It’s also a pleasure to have people come.
Jiang Ran didn't even stutter: "One hundred thousand taels!"
"puff!!"
The visitor was unaware and was stabbed in the back by the number. He immediately choked and beat his chest repeatedly. Finally he coughed, regained his breath and glared at Jiang Ran:
"Young Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for ten months... instead of being a knife hunter, have you started robbing families?"
"Senior is joking, I didn't grab anything. It's obviously you, Mr. Big, who came over and grabbed our roast chicken."
Jiang Ran was happy.
The person in front of me was none other than Mr. Da, whom I had met once in Cangzhou Prefecture at that time.
