With Hu Wanshan's help, Jiang Ran's side was finally in peace.
There were still people in black moving around in the yard, so after Jiang Ran handed the man in his hand to Hu Wanshan, he led them out again.
After completely dealing with all the people in the courtyard and outside the courtyard who surrounded Wangshui Villa this time, Jiang Ran went to pick up Hua Yuerong and returned to Wangshui Villa.
The lobby of Wangshui Villa is called [Xianshi Hall].
Now during the free time, everyone in the hall has already taken their seats, divided into hosts and guests.
In addition to Hu Wanshan, all seven aunts and eight aunts in his family were also there.
Most of the people looked like they were trying to escape death and survive the disaster.
Just when I think about what happened tonight, I can't help but feel a little scared.
If Jiang Ran hadn't arrived in time, none of the people present today would have survived.
Hu Wanshan clasped his hands and said to Jiang Ran:
"Master Jiang, I owe you so much for keeping me alive. I really don't know how to repay you."
"Master Hu, you're welcome."
Jiang Ran waved his hand: "I have already thanked you once, so there is no need to say it again."
Just now, Hu Wanshan led his entire family to kowtow to Jiang Ran to thank him for saving his life.
To be honest, Jiang Ran still rarely sees such a scene.
Seeing that Hu Wanshan's old story was brought up again, the other seven aunts and eight aunts also had the urge to stand up and kneel down... Jiang Ran quickly waved his hand to stop them.
And immediately changed the topic:
"Master Hu, do you know why the Setting Sun Clan suddenly dealt with you so cruelly?"
"Setting Sun Gate..."
When Hu Wanshan heard this, he knelt down in no hurry and just gritted his teeth and said:
"The Setting Sun Sect has always been mysterious, and it even claims to do justice for heaven. I have long guessed that these people are not good people, and now it seems that is indeed the case.
"In the past, the entire Qin family was wiped out, and now my Hu family was almost slaughtered for an unfounded crime.
"But... if you want to say that my Hu family has anything to offend them, this, this is really not the case.
"We can't find them, so how can we offend them?"
"But if you want to do something, you must have a plan."
Jiang Ran pondered: "There are a lot of killings in the world, but there are very few of them without any reason."
"What Jiang Daxia said is absolutely true."
Hu Wanshan nodded: "But now I'm sitting here, speculating out of thin air, I'm afraid I won't gain anything.
"However, they turned out to be using the martial arts of the Demon Cult. This matter is not trivial.
"In my opinion, what happened tonight needs to be told to the world! Come to think of it, I have learned from Wangshui Villa's mistakes. What the Setting Sun Gate did before will no longer be able to be concealed.
"The way they used to kill the entire Qin family was exactly the same as the way they framed me today.
"This matter can never happen again, and we must not allow them to act so wantonly!!"
When Hu Wanshan said these words, he still had the demeanor of a senior in the world.
Jiang Ran also nodded:
"What the Hu family leader said is absolutely true. No matter what their intentions are, we cannot allow them to be so unscrupulous.
"Junior people speak softly, but this matter has to be done by the Hu family."
"Master Jiang is too modest."
Hu Wanshan said with a smile: "Da Xia Jiang's martial arts skills are unparalleled. During the tea and piano appreciation ceremony, the battle at Sunset Ping made everyone in the world know the reputation of the Jingshen Sword!
"To be honest, Hu was a little unconvinced before. After all, you are about the same age as my incompetent son. Even if you have some martial arts, how high can you be?
"But I didn't expect... There is no real scholar under the famous name. It turns out that being famous is not as good as meeting him.
"The martial arts of Jiang Daxia are probably much better than what those people say.
"Such a comparison... I am a worthless thing. Hey, I wish I could be beaten to death."
"father!!"
Hu Wanshan's son is named Hu Nan.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but take a step forward: "You praise Daxia Jiang just because you praise Daxia Jiang, why did you drag me out to parade for no reason?
"Not to mention me, so what if you are better than Daxia Jiang?
"I have never disliked you, how could you have the nerve to dislike me."
As soon as he said this, the whole crowd burst into laughter.
Hu Wanshan was a very decent man, and his clothes, hair, and beard were meticulously groomed.
At this moment, I was so angry that I was blowing my beard and staring, but I couldn't do anything about my son.
In the end, he had no choice but to smile apologetically at Jiang Ran:
"Made Master Jiang laugh."
"Young Master Ling is so outspoken and forthright, how can he be laughed at?"
Jiang Ran waved his hand: "Everyone is in great shock tonight, so don't talk here. Let's take a rest first... But there is something I need to ask the Hu family to agree to."
"Master Jiang, please tell me if you have anything to say. You saved all of our lives. Everyone in the village is deeply touched by this, but there is no reason not to follow your orders."
Hu Wanshan immediately spoke seriously.
Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely:
"The head of the Hu family made a serious statement, but it's getting late now and I want to stay at your Wangshui Villa for the night..."
"I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Oh, what are you talking about!"
Hu Wanshan stood up immediately: "Dr. Jiang is an honored guest who cannot be invited even if he is invited. Let alone staying for one night, what if I give Wangshui Villa to you?"
"You're talking nonsense again... Wangshui Villa is the ancestral home. If you dare to give it away, grandpa will break your legs."
Hu Nan muttered softly.
"Shut up!"
Hu Wanshan's face was a little confused again, and he smiled dryly at Jiang Ran and said:
"But what this guy said is right, Wangshui Villa is really not something that can be given away, so I just spoke too quickly.
“But other industries can be given away.
"I'm still a bit underwhelmed around here. I'll prepare a copy later and send it to Daxia Jiang..."
"If Master Hu continues to talk like this, he will be driving me away."
Jiang Ran said helplessly: "Why don't I leave."
"No more, no more."
Hu Wanshan said quickly: "Master Jiang, please don't leave. You must stay here for a few more days. If someone comes, please clean up the guest room."
Because today is the day for the Hu family to worship their ancestors.
Descendants of the Hu family from all over the country will come, so the guest rooms have been packed up long ago.
After the rest of the night, everyone was sleepy, tired and still frightened. Even if Hu Wanshan still wanted to talk to Jiang Ran, he couldn't hold it anymore.
After everyone parted ways, they returned to their rooms to rest.
Jiang Ran had just closed the door and was about to go to bed when he heard Hua Yuerong's voice coming from outside the door:
"Master Jiang, have you gone to bed?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, glanced at the door, stood up and said:
"Not yet, flower girl, wait a moment."
When he came to the door, he opened it and took a look at Hua Yuerong standing outside.
There was a hint of cowardice on the girl's face, but she managed not to change her color. After seeing Jiang Ran, she bowed:
"Dr. Jiang, can I go in?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the sky and said helplessly:
"Girl Hua, it's getting late. If you have nothing to do, don't come in.
"After all, you and I are alone and living in the same room... If this matter spreads, it will be either good or bad.
"Jiang is fine, but the girl Yunying is not married. If word spreads, her reputation will be damaged."
Hua Yuerong bit her lower lip gently:
"Yes... I also know, but I just experienced that incident during the day today.
"Now that we are in this unfamiliar place, it is always hard to feel at peace."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Ran smiled and said: "You have a good sleep. We will leave tomorrow. After meeting up with my companions, we will send you home. You will definitely feel at peace by then... In addition, Jiang's martial arts is pretty good.
, the room between you and me is just a wall.
"If there is any change, Jiang will definitely notice it. Miss Hua, please come back."
"……good."
Hua Yuerong glanced at Jiang Ran: "Master Jiang is indeed a gentleman who observes etiquette, which makes people feel heartbroken."
Has she said this once?
Jiang Ran thought about it in his mind, and when he saw her turning around and leaving, he gently closed the door.
…
…
There was no talking all night, and at dawn, someone trotted all the way to the door of Jiang Ran's room:
"Jiang DaXia, Jiang DaXia, are you awake?"
With a creak, the door opened. Jiang Ran had already dressed up. When he saw Hu Nan standing outside the door, he couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Why are Mr. Hu here?"
"Dr. Jiang, you got up really early. By the way, I came here to tell you that the man in black you arrested last night...he is dead."
"died?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly: "Take me to see."
"good."
Hu Nan agreed and led Jiang Ran away.
The two people came to a woodshed one after another.
There is no dungeon in Wangshui Villa, so if someone is temporarily detained, they can only be detained in the woodshed.
When he opened the door and went in, he saw the man in black from last night. His body was now lying around, and his face was as haggard as an old man.
Jiang Ran took a look with his hand, checked it carefully, and finally said with a strange expression:
"He...died?"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Hu Nan asked subconsciously.
"Die of old age."
Jiang Ran let out a breath: "It seems that the evil skills of this demon sect are really interesting."
I'm afraid I'll have to ask Tang Huayi later.
"Master Jiang, what's so interesting about this martial arts? It feels eerie and too weird.
"A good-looking person died like this.
"I heard from Master in the past that the Demon Cult is weird and strange. Although not all of them are bad people, once the people of the Demon Cult do evil, they are the most terrifying.
"At that time, I just thought he was deliberately trying to scare me. I didn't expect that just a demon sect's martial arts would be like this...
"I can't imagine what the Demon Sect would have been like if it hadn't been destroyed by the masters led by Chu Nanfeng, a generation of strange heroes."
Hu Nan sighed softly.
Jiang Ran glanced at him: "I haven't asked you, which school did Mr. Hu study?"
"Fire Blade Sect!!"
Hu Nan held his head high and announced his inheritance: "My mentor is Ren Feisheng, the 'Crazy Sword' of the Fierce Sword Sect!"
Jiang Ran immediately showed a look of realization:
"It turns out that he is a disciple of Master Ren, but that's disrespectful."
"Where, where."
Hu Nan said with some embarrassment:
"My master is certainly famous, but I am a nobody and have embarrassed him."
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this and gave him a few words of comfort.
Then he followed him out of the woodshed.
Jiang Ran also checked the corpses of the people at Canyang Gate last night.
Including the father and son at the head, they are all people who have never appeared in the world.
No one in the Hu family knew anyone, so Jiang Ran just let the Hu family handle it.
I just thought I could use this to get another wave of rewards, but I had no choice but to give up.
Afterwards, Jiang Ran followed Hu Nan to the dining room for dinner.
I met Hu Wanshan and others again.
Hua Yuerong has also arrived here and is eating and drinking.
After seeing Jiang Ran coming, he quickly stood up and saluted.
Jiang Ran waved his hand and said to Hu Wanshan:
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave soon after finishing the meal."
Hu Wanshan was very sorry, but seeing that Jiang Ran was determined to leave, he couldn't say much.
He just agreed to Jiang Ran and chose two good horses to help him with his journey.
Jiang Ran cupped his fists and thanked him.
And what Hu Wanshan gave him was indeed a good horse. After dinner, Jiang Ran and Hua Yuerong rode each other. After saying goodbye to the Hu family, they rode on their horses.
There was no rest along the way, until it was almost dusk, and then they arrived near the tea shop where the group separated yesterday.
From a distance, he saw a carriage parked on the side of the road. Tang Huayi threw out a leaf out of boredom. Then he heard the sound of an arrow string, and an arrow had already nailed the leaf to the big tree on the side.
It can be seen that the big tree is already riddled with holes and has been pricked countless times.
Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Tang Huayi raised his head and glanced casually, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Finally home!!"
Then he saw Hua Yuerong following Jiang Ran.
He raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, his face full of expressions that it was true...
"Brother!"
Li Tianyu, who was standing on the tree shooting arrows, naturally saw Jiang Ran and Hua Yuerong, and flew down from the tree.
Two fast horses had already arrived.
Jiang Ran raised the reins and said, "Hey!!"
The galloping horse stopped immediately, and after spinning twice in circles, it regained its footing, and Jiang Ran quickly dismounted.
First he glanced at Li Tianyu, nodded with a smile, and then looked at Tang Huayi:
"You guys had a lot of fun."
"I'm not as happy as you."
Tang Huayi rolled her eyes at Jiang Ran: "What took so long? Is this the girl from yesterday?"
"kindness."
Jiang Ran introduced Hua Yuerong to them.
Hua Yuerong also got off her horse and greeted the two of them.
Tang Huayi folded her arms and pretended to be proud, while Li Tianyu returned the gift honestly.
Jiang Ran asked smoothly:
"Where is Jingtan layman?"
"I'm playing chess with the ancient hero in the carriage."
Tang Huayi said: "Fortunately, you left us next to this tea shop, and we still have a place to eat. Otherwise, we would probably starve to death."
"Stop talking, I won't starve you to death even if there is a three-year drought."
Jiang Ran shook his head.
Then the carriage door curtain flickered, and Jingtan layman stuck his head out:
"Young Master Jiang is back after saving the beauty?"
"The layman was joking."
Jiang Ran smiled: "The important thing is that we can't let the money we get get away with before our eyes."
"I see."
Jingtan layman smiled and looked at Hua Yuerong: "I just heard you say that the girl's surname is Hua? Could it be that she is the Hua family of Dongjun Prefecture?"
"This junior is from the Hua family."
Hua Yuerong greeted Jingtan layman again: "Senior, do you know the elders of this junior's family?"
"Well, I met Hua Shaoyun once in the past. Calculating carefully, it was probably twenty years ago."
"It turns out that senior is a friend of the head of the family."
Hua Yuerong immediately bowed solemnly: "Junior was rude earlier."
"It's not like it's not like that."
Jingtan layman smiled: "It's just a one-time relationship, there is no friendship."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Then we have to go to Hua's house now?"
"Jiang promised the flower girl to send her home."
"It's okay. I may not have had a drink of Huayue Village's Xiaoyi Aged Wine for a long time. I'm afraid I'll have to ask for a few glasses this time."
Jingtan layman smiled and nodded.
"In that case, let's set off.
"Although it's getting late, if we hurry up, we should have time to enter the city before nightfall."
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Because Hua Yuerong had been tricked, she couldn't use her internal skills, so Jiang Ran asked her to get on the carriage.
Li Tianyu and Jingtan layman were driving.
He and Tang Huayi were one man and one horse, so they were on their way first.
After running for a few steps, Tang Huayi came over:
"Where did you two spend the night last night?"
"..."
Jiang Ran glanced at her: "If it doesn't work, you might as well go wash your brain. It feels like there's dirt in it."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"I know what you're going to do as soon as you stick your butt out, why do you need to tell me?"
"How disgusting!"
Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran with disgust.
But I heard Jiang Ran say:
"But I encountered something during this trip...
"Do you know the magic of moving stars and killing demons?"
"Have you... encountered the path of killing?"
Tang Huayi's expression suddenly changed, but she quickly exhaled: "It's okay, it's okay. If it's someone else, it's a bit dangerous, but if it's you, you're not afraid."
"The way of killing?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows: "What is that?"
"This is a bit complicated to talk about. I have to sort it out before I can explain it to you in detail."
Tang Huayi thought for a moment and said to Jiang Ran: "Why don't you tell me first how you met them."
Jiang Ran glanced at her, and then slowly spoke, telling the story of last night in this way.
Including the friends of Setting Sun who were written in the letter, they were also informed.
Tang Huayi's face turned pale after hearing this:
"Another person who relies on the Eighteen Heavenly Demonic Records to do whatever they want...
"On that day, Cangzhou Prefecture took it back because Fan Yumou, the leader of the Qinghe Clan, used my demonic teaching skills to kill people.
"Unexpectedly, traces of the killing path appeared again in Dongjun Mansion.
“If you don’t know about this matter, let’s leave it at that.
"Now that I know it, I can't ignore it no matter what. I need to take back the magic of moving stars and changing the sky to kill demons!"
"That's easy to say."
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows: "The Setting Sun Sect is mysterious and unpredictable. It's probably not that easy to find this sect leader."
"I think you will definitely find a way."
Tang Huayi looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Why would I have any idea?"
"I don't know, that's how I feel. Don't underestimate the intuition of a little demon sect girl!"
"She actually admitted that she was a little witch..."
Jiang Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he looked back at the carriage and said with a slight thought:
