In addition to the traces of fighting, there are also many traces of traps around.
"Cheng Tianyang and the others should have come to Zhou Mansion to escort them, but they were led here and attacked and killed with a trap.
"Everyone in the Zhou family should be from Zuodaozhuang.
"After killing the people from the Tianyang Escort Bureau, move the things in the car away... and abandon the bodies."
After Tang Huayi read the whole thing, he glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Cheng Tianyang's martial arts skills are extremely high, and Tianyang Escort Bureau, as Jin Chan's first escort agency, is by no means easy to deal with.
“But when fighting against these people, there seemed to be no even a hint of symbolic resistance.
"Zuo Daozhuang...what a skill!"
"How does it compare to the Demon Cult?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi.
Tang Huayi smiled:
"Then you have to see who is from the Demon Cult...
"There are all kinds of people in the Demon Cult, and some of them may let Cheng Tianyang die silently without leaving any body behind without knowing anything.
"But there are also some people who may cause trouble in the city.
"In short, there are actually many people who can achieve this step, but the means also determine the results."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"Actually, I don't care what the results are or what the means are.
"What I care about is, why are they doing this?
"According to the current traces, Cheng Tianyang and others drove into the mansion, and then followed them here.
“I have had the utmost trust in them along the way.
"Normally speaking, there is no need to kill everyone in the Tianyang Escort Bureau.
"All we need to do is take the things down and let Cheng Tianyang and the others leave. Why bother?"
"That's true."
Tang Huayi said: "Unless once Cheng Tianyang and the others leave, they will find that there is something wrong with this single dart. If we go back and check again, it might cause some trouble. So, just don't do it at all.
...directly kill people and silence them.
"When the news here comes out, their so-called big thing may have been completed."
Jiang Ran touched his chin:
"If they were to play people from the Zhou family, there would be a lot of servants, servants, and maids in that family.
"There are no traces of departure around us... As we walked along the way, passers-by only saw the Tianyang Escort Agency, but not other large groups...
"Let's go forward and see where this road leads."
"OK."
Tang Huayi's posture was relaxed, and even if there were corpses on the ground, she wouldn't even frown.
Jumping up and down beside Jiang Ran:
"It's very quiet around here. It's such a good place. Even if you do something harmful to nature, no one will notice."
"??"
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi: "What are you planning to do here that is harmful to nature?"
"I won't do any harm to God."
Tang Hua pointed at the corpses of Tianyang Escort Bureau: "I mean them."
"..."
Jiang Ran sighed: "I wonder how Mr. Cheng's bodyguard is doing."
Of course Tang Huayi couldn't answer this question. She rubbed her hands:
"It would be great if I could do some calculations. If you have any questions, I can give you an answer with just a pinch of my fingers.
"In this way, you will definitely need me every moment from now on.
"You can let me do whatever I want!"
"You still want to do whatever you want?"
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and pinched a hair on her head: "You are blind, aren't you?"
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Tang Huayi repeatedly begged for mercy: "I won't dare to do it next time. Please let go of my hair."
"And next time?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
Tang Huayi suddenly grinned happily: "You dare to do it next time, right?"
Jiang Ran didn't want to quarrel with her, so he pinched her cheek hard and let her go.
Tang Hua's eyes were filled with pain, but he had no choice but to be angry and dare not speak.
Following Jiang Ran all the way forward, there was still no trace around, but there was a forest that looked quite dense.
Jiang Ran looked around and sighed:
"I won't chase anymore... There are no traces all the way here. Either I guessed it wrong or I chased it wrong.
"Wandering around without any purpose is just a waste of time.
"Let's go back."
"Ah? Are you going back now?"
Tang Huayi touched her face: "It's been a long time since I showed my true colors to others, and I'm really reluctant to do so."
"Then you play here for a while? I..."
He was about to say "go", but suddenly paused.
Tang Huayi followed his gaze and saw a broken branch on a tree in the forest.
Normally, this doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Jiang Ran swayed and took the branch in his hand:
"It just broke off not long ago."
"Are we looking in the right direction?"
Tang Huayi is also quite inspiring.
The two people immediately walked forward in the direction of the trace of the branch.
Perhaps because they had traveled so far, those people felt that even if someone searched, it would be impossible to find such a place.
Therefore, the traces left along the way began to increase.
The two people followed the traces and walked through the woods, and then they found a narrow path.
Soon after following the road, we saw residential buildings.
It's just that the trail did not go into the crowd, but turned around and extended into the distance behind these houses.
As we continued to advance, there were more and more residential buildings around us, and finally we had no choice but to merge into the main street of Changqing Mansion.
What I saw when I looked up was the south gate of Changqing Mansion.
Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi stood on the street, looking here and there.
Look at each other:
"They're out of town?"
But when they asked people around them if anyone had seen a group of people passing by carrying many boxes.
The answers I got were all no.
"A carriage passed by here, but there was no one carrying the box."
The waiter at a tea shop said:
"At the gate of the south city, there are many people coming from the south and the north.
"If there are so many people showing off like you two said, it must be an impression.
"Besides, if you want to leave so many boxes out of the city, the officials in front of the door will have to check them for a while.
"It can never be so silent.
"If you two are looking for someone, you are probably looking in the wrong place."
Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi were both a little silent.
There is no way such a group of people can disappear without a trace...
If no one notices, it can only be reduced to zero.
Now Jiang Ran and the others don't know what is in this batch of darts, nor do they know what big things these people will do after getting these darts.
Is this happening in the city or outside the city?
Therefore, whether this group of people comes out of the city or not is always in a dilemma.
"I think there's a high chance they'll leave the city."
Tang Huayi said: "Manpower can be used to disperse them and break them into parts, so they can leave through the four city gates. Things can prepare carriages in advance, and they can also break them into parts and leave the city one by one."
"What's the reason?"
Jiang Ran asked.
"intuition!"
Tang paintings are straightforward and bold.
Jiang Ran sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness.
"What's your expression? Are you looking down on my intuition?"
Tang Huayi stared.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"I feel sad...my intuition is the same as yours."
Tang Huayi suddenly turned from anger to joy: "Then let's go look for it?"
“Looking for a needle in a haystack?”
After leaving the city gate, the roads extend in all directions. Let alone two people, even twenty or two hundred people are still looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Walk!"
Jiang Ran stood up:
"Changqing Mansion is a place we are not familiar with, and it's impossible to find them with just the two of us.
"We have to find help."
"Do you have any acquaintances in Changqing Mansion?"
Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran and felt incredible:
"Why do I remember that this is the first time you have traveled far away since you were a child?"
"..."
Jiang Ran wanted to pinch her face again.
But this time Tang Hua expected the enemy to attack first and was already prepared. As soon as Jiang Ran raised his hand, she ran out three feet away and proudly stuck out her tongue at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran grinned and waved to her:
"come over."
"what?"
Tang Huayi looked at Jiang Ran cautiously.
"Come here and talk about business."
Jiang Ran spoke seriously.
Tang Huayi moved hesitantly and came to Jiang Ran:
"Who are you looking for for help?"
"Of course he is the Yin of Evergreen Prefecture."
Jiang Ran took out the knife-catching order from his arms:
"I think this thing has some uses. Apart from other things, they always know the origin of the Zhou Mansion. These people occupy the magpie's nest in the Zhou Mansion. It shouldn't be difficult to ask the Governor of Changqing to help provide some clues...
…Are you right?”
"kindness……"
Just as Tang Huayi was nodding, he caught a glimpse of numerous finger shadows from the corner of his eye.
After being stunned, it was too late to run away.
I just felt a tightness in Jianjing point, and I immediately raised my head:
"You are so despicable...wuwuwu..."
The two little faces were all taken into Jiang Ran's hands, and he rubbed them fiercely. One face was rubbed beyond recognition, and his facial features were hideous.
Just listen to Jiang Ran saying bitterly:
"I asked you to run, and you ran, and you ran again, are you still running?"
Poor Tang Huayi couldn't speak a word and could only whine out some syllables of unknown meaning.
After rubbing her face until it was all red, Jiang Ran let go of her and unblocked her acupuncture points.
"Jiang Ran, I will fight with you!!"
After the imprisonment was suddenly released, Tang Huayi wanted to rush forward and fight for his life.
Jiang Ran glanced at him: "Oh?"
"It doesn't hurt to try again another day."
Tang Huayi rubbed her face and felt her cheeks were getting hot. She couldn't help but glare at Jiang Ran again:
"I'm so good-looking, why are you so cruel?"
"In the face of you, a little witch from the Demon Cult, why can't you be so ruthless?"
Jiang Ran snorted:
"Let's go to the government office."
Tang Huayi imitated Jiang Ran's tone and movements, silently imitating them, and rolled her eyes. She was about to follow Jiang Ran forward, but she didn't expect that Jiang Ran suddenly stopped.
His head suddenly hit Jiang Ran's back.
"Oh...what are you doing? Why don't you leave?"
Tang Huayi was a little confused and tilted his head to look in front of Jiang Ran.
I saw several young people standing there at some unknown time. The leader bowed to Jiang Ran:
"May I ask what your master is, the Jingshen Sword, Jiang Ran? Young Master Jiang?"
"no."
Jiang Ran shook his head decisively: "You may have recognized the wrong person."
"..."
The young man at the head suddenly became speechless and smiled bitterly:
"Young Master Jiang, don't be joking. We are here to invite Young Master Jiang to have a chat with us as ordered by our master. Naturally, we won't recognize the wrong person."
"You won't admit the wrong person, so why ask..."
Tang Huayi rolled his eyes: "Who is your master? If we don't go, are you still going to tie us up by force?"
"Young lady is joking, we greet each other with courtesy, how dare we use force?
"If Young Master Jiang is not willing, we can only ask for the invitation next time."
When the leader said this, he suddenly took out a post from his sleeve:
"My master has said that this is the first time he has contact with Jiang Shaoxia, so I would like to offer him a meeting gift."
After saying that, he handed it over with both hands.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly took out the deerskin gloves from his pocket and put them on.
The men and women behind the young man became a little angry when they saw Jiang Ran acting like this.
However, they have strict rules and do not dare to speak nonsense before the leader has spoken.
Jiang Ran took the post, his hand sank slightly, but he laughed:
"Your master is very wealthy. This post is actually made of jade as the paper and gold as the seal."
"This is the Golden Jade Chapter."
After Tang Huayi took one look, he looked at the people opposite:
"Are you from the Baizhen Society? Who is your master?"
"When you are away from home, you don't dare to discuss the master's name. If you two want to know, you can come with us."
The man raised his head, still with a warm and jade-like smile on his face.
Tang Huayi said to Jiang Ran:
"The gold and jade seal is a token of the Baizhen Society. It is said that each piece has its own mystery, and the people of the Baizhen Society can find out the authenticity.
"Bring this item to any shop in the Baizhen Club and buy something, no matter what you buy, it will be 70% of the original price.
"And the store owner will serve as a guest. Even if you don't buy anything, you will eat and drink as much as you want."
Jiang Ran nodded: "I see... giving such a good thing at this meeting makes me a little embarrassed not to meet your master.
"That's all. If that's the case, then I'll bother you and lead the way."
"Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for the compliment."
The leader smiled, stepped aside, and revealed the carriage behind them:
"Boy, please get on the carriage."
Only then did Jiang Ran notice that this carriage was not an ordinary carriage.
The horse is a good horse, one black and one white is a thousand-mile horse.
The car is a good car, with fine wood and gold trim.
Opening the car door, the space inside is not small. There is a jade table in the middle, with fruit snacks, fragrant tea and wine on it. It can be said that everything is available.
"As expected of the Baizhen Club."
Jiang Ran got on the carriage and sat down, sighing softly in his heart:
"This is what you can spend money on and enjoy..."
"How about you get one too?"
Tang Huayi said:
"Every day I ride a horse and drive, and the skin on my legs becomes thick."
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi's legs subconsciously, and then thought that the friction between riding horses was actually the inner thighs. He was stunned for a moment and quickly looked away.
"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Huayi suddenly raised his eyes, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"none of your business."
Jiang Ran turned around, picked up the wine bottle next to him, opened the lid and smelled it, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"What kind of wine is this? It smells so good."
Tang Huayi originally wanted to tease Jiang Ran, but after smelling this smell, he was stunned:
"This seems to be the [Zongyi] of Qianyun Villa."
"Qianyun Villa? Zongyi?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi in confusion.
"You must be ignorant."
Tang Huayi suddenly smiled.
"...Who can blame me for being ignorant?"
Jiang Ran let out a breath: "You're not an old drunkard yet, and you don't want to teach me anything?"
"That's true."
Tang Huayi nodded:
"But there are not many people in the world who know Zongyi...
"There are people from all walks of life in this world, but Qianyun Villa is quite special. They make wine.
“Specializes in brewing all kinds of fine wines with extremely high value.
"If this wine is for indulgence, then this pot alone will cost at least two hundred taels of silver."
"Two hundred taels of silver!?"
Even though Jiang Ran was wealthy, his hands trembled when he heard these words and he almost threw the bottle away:
"Extremely extravagant and lustful."
After saying that, he opened the wine glass and poured a glass.
After checking it carefully, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine entered his throat like a silk thread. He had never tasted it to his fullest extent, but it was indeed more special than any wine he had drunk in the past.
Tang Huayi came over with a wine glass:
"I also want."
"What do children drink?"
Jiang Ran quickly hid the wine, thought for a moment, and picked up his own wine gourd.
He raised his head and drank all the wine in the gourd in a matter of seconds.
Then he took the wine jug and poured it into his own gourd.
"..."
Tang Huayi's teeth itched with hatred: "Is that the case for you?"
"Why not? Besides, don't you never drink on weekdays? Why are you trying to rob me if you have nothing to do?"
After Jiang Ran poured the entire jug of wine into the gourd, he shook it gently and put down the wine jug with satisfaction.
"Zongyi is not another wine...how can I let go of such a good wine?"
Tang Huayi glanced at the gourd in Jiang Ran's hand, and suddenly looked up at him:
"Brother-in-law... can you give me a drink?"
When Jiang Ran heard the sound, his head sank, and he subconsciously wanted to send the wine gourd out.
The next moment, the Good Heart Meridian turned around, and my mind suddenly became clear.
But at the same time, he secretly thought that it was not good, and sure enough, with a light move of his hand, he raised his head again, and the wine gourd had fallen into Tang Huayi's hands.
She glanced at Jiang Ran happily, then took a sip, and as she swallowed, a look of intoxication appeared on her face.
After taking a long sip, he took away the gourd and gave it to Jiang Ran:
“It’s really a good wine.”
Jiang Ran looked at the saliva on the gourd, then looked at Tang Huayi:
"What I just drank, doesn't it feel dirty if you drink it too?"
"Why is my brother-in-law dirty?"
As expected, Tang Huayi didn't drink much on weekdays. After taking this sip, a rosy color suddenly appeared on his face.
She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ran:
"Brother-in-law, you are so good-looking."
"You just took a sip of wine and started acting crazy?"
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while: "You are not afraid of people poisoning the wine."
"Haven't you checked everything?
"And the dignified Baizhenhui would not resort to such despicable tactics."
Tang Huayi moved her buttocks, rubbed against Jiang Ran, took his arm and hugged him:
"Brother-in-law, please let me lean on you for a while."
