Taoist Wild Dog must have drunk a lot of wine. He stood at the door of the courtyard facing Jiang Ran and others, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.
The huge rosacea is red and shiny.
Looking at Jiang Ran with blurred eyes, he cupped his fists and raised his hands:
"But...but after all, people are in the world, and they can't help themselves...I have no way, and there is nothing I can do if I have no way.
"Fortunately...fortunately..."
Jiang Ran became a little impatient listening to his confusing words.
At this moment, a hand came out from behind the Wild Dog Taoist, grabbed his shoulder, flicked it, and threw the Wild Dog Taoist completely.
Taoist Wild Dog only had time to say "Ouch" before he fell down and rolled on the ground.
After getting up, he looked up with an angry face:
"Who?"
I saw Lin Wanyi casually holding her fan in her hand, standing not far away and looking at her quietly:
"The Dahan Gang is not an unknown person, and the Wild Dog Taoist is not a fledgling young man.
"Master Jiang has spared your life, but you are still not satisfied.
"Does this mean I have to push myself to death?"
"...It turns out to be Miss Lin San."
Wild Dog Taoist's anger was like the snow in March in warm spring, dissipating completely in a matter of seconds.
He grinned and patted the dirt behind his butt:
"What Miss Lin San said has always made sense... It's the wild dog that's wrong. The wild dog says goodbye, goodbye..."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Ran's eyes retracted from his back and fell on Lin Wanyi:
"Is there any relationship between the Dahan Gang and your Lin family?"
Lin Wanyi was stunned and nodded gently:
"Master Jiang doesn't know something, but he did have some kindness in the past.
"Wild Dog... is not like this on weekdays, but this time, I don't know what happened, it was like he had a convulsion.
"Please don't take offense to me, Master Jiang, if I offend you."
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"I've always had a good temper. You came to see me for something?"
"Just saying something to Daxia Jiang."
Lin Wanyi said:
"Chu Yunniang doesn't know medical skills, but Meng Huan is indeed still in the villa and has never left."
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and smiled slightly:
"I'm afraid what Miss Lin San said today was not a temporary idea, right?"
Lin Wanyi was stunned, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"It doesn't matter, I don't want to get to the bottom of it.
"It's just that the third lady needs to know that once you say something, you can't just show it off."
"Wan Yi understands!"
Lin Wanyi immediately clasped his fists with both hands and bowed deeply.
"Okay, it's been quite a hard journey for us. Let's take a rest first...you can go on your own."
"yes."
Lin Wanyi stood outside the door, watching helplessly as Tang Huayi closed the courtyard door, completely blocking each other's eyes.
Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
There was hesitation on his face for a moment, but he didn't know what he was thinking of.
I heard a laugh coming from one side.
Looking back, I saw Dugu Xiong leading Dugu Yan from one side.
The two sides looked at each other, with a tacit understanding, but did not speak, but walked in another direction.
Not long after we walked, we felt that we were far enough away from Jiang Ran and their yard.
Duguxiong then said:
"I have watched your father grow up since he was a child, and I have also watched you step by step to where you are now.
"You are traveling at home, and there are two brothers above you.
"Your eldest brother died young, and your second brother made a mistake and was expelled from the family.
"On the contrary, it is you... who, by virtue of being a woman, has repeatedly challenged you at various critical moments.
"We can't say that we can turn the tide when it is falling, or support the building that is about to collapse. But it has also allowed the Lin family to move steadily step by step, and now it is looking like a renaissance.
"But your decision today...I can't understand it.
"You didn't discuss it with anyone. After you go back, aren't you afraid that your father will punish you?
"Are you exempt from the title of Young Master of the Lin family?"
Lin Wanyi was silent for a moment and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, she stretched out her hand as if touching the air.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Duguxiong asked softly.
"Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet..."
Lin Wanyi said softly:
"Senior Dugu, you and I are in the Jianghu together, have we ever felt the wind direction of this Jianghu?"
"..."
Dugu Xiong's brows frowned slightly. He was old and had experienced a lot. Although he had the pride of an old-school Jianghu man, he was by no means a pedantic person who thought highly of himself and looked down on the slightest bit of good in young people.
He knew very well that Lin Wanyi had an extremely powerful ability.
This ability is not reflected in martial arts.
Rather, she has a surprisingly powerful vision and extremely good judgment of situations.
This is not acquired, it seems to be something she was born with.
Therefore, after she finished speaking, Dugu Xiong understood what she meant, but couldn't help but frown slightly:
"The Setting Sun Gate is indeed a trouble...
"But to say that this has stirred up troubles in the world is a bit exaggerated, right?"
Lin Wanyi smiled:
“It’s not just the Setting Sun Gate.
"In the Battle of Sunset Ping, Benleitang was destroyed. Now, except for Dongjun Mansion, personnel from all the Thirteen Gangs have been mobilized.
"The Thirteen Gangs are spread all over Jinchan, and a single move can affect the whole body.
"The world is in turmoil, only for a moment.
"Not long ago, the young master of Langhuan Pavilion was walking in Tonghe Bay in the north of the Yangtze River. He happened to meet a beautiful woman in Huitian Tower. He went up to talk to her, but he didn't expect that this beautiful woman had a fierce temper and just wanted to get away.
"The young pavilion master didn't want to let her go, so he joked a few words.
"The beautiful woman actually jumped directly from Huitian Tower and suffered a brain fracture.
"Later... the young pavilion master was unable to leave Tonghe Bay.
"Because that beautiful woman turned out to be the wife of Zhang Sanxia from the Sanxia Club.
"The young pavilion master has caused a huge disaster, and Lang Huan Ting cannot protect him... But do you think Lang Huan Ting will suffer the disadvantage of being dumb?
"Both are one of the Thirteen Gangs...who can convince each other?"
When Lin Wanyi said this, she paused slightly and raised her eyes to look at Dugu Xiong:
"I told my seniors this just because I wanted to tell you.
“Similar things are happening all over Jinchan now.
"Senior, why do you think all this happened?"
Duguxiong was silent.
The matter Lin Wanyi mentioned seems to have nothing to do with Benleitang.
But in fact, how can it be so simple?
A big piece of fat appeared right in front of me, but there were several opponents sharpening their knives waiting to eat it.
If this is the only piece of meat in your eyes, they might stab you in the back when you are not paying attention, turning you into meat on the chopping board.
If you want to avoid becoming meat on the chopping board and still eat meat, you must not only keep an eye on the meat, but also keep an eye on people.
They restrain each other and fear each other.
At the same time, it is best to muddy the water so that you can fish in troubled waters.
Much of the chaos in various places stems from this.
There is also a part where the grievances have been accumulated for a long time and there is a suitable opportunity to use them.
All in all, the disappearance of Benleitang has begun to brew up layers of undercurrents under the calm world.
"But even so..."
Duguxiong said softly:
"The East County Mansion is still different from other places..."
"It's different."
Lin Wanyi nodded:
"That's because Ziyue Villa, the Dugu family, the Lin family, the Hua family, including the Dahan Clan.
"We can be together in one place.
"You can not be afraid of any of the Thirteen Gangs...
"But now... what is Ziyue Villa like? Meng Huan claims that he is ill, how can Mrs. Meng support him?
"The Hua family was massacred, and one and a half of the five families have died.
"The Setting Sun Gate is the first sword hanging in my East County Mansion...
"When this sword falls, the rest of us will be beaten to pieces, and every muscle and vein will be destroyed? Who can still stand up to the fight?
"By then, Senior Dugu will get his wish and become the first family in the East County Prefecture.
"But how long can I be free?
"You don't really think that Shang Qianhu, Zhai Qingquan and others from Qingfeng Pavilion are just sitting here, playing monkey tricks with us, chatting and laughing?
"When the time comes, they will use the knife...
"Fighting openly and secretly, the flash of swords and the shadows of swords, have to be paid for with human lives."
"...I am not scared."
Duguxiong's face darkened:
"Third Miss, you don't have to be here, being intimidating and intimidating, letting other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige!"
Lin Wanyi just smiled at Duguxiong:
"Then Senior Dugu, why do you need to listen to me talking so much here?
"You and I have been friends for many years, and I had to be protected by you when I was young.
"Now I have some good advice...
"Jiang Ran is not an ordinary person. There has never been a person who can rise up in the world in such a short period of time!
"He has no shortage of scheming skills.
"It's really getting fierce. Today in the hall, if Mrs. Meng hadn't arrived in time, do you think we could have escaped unscathed?
"When facing him, it's best to put away your preoccupations and carefully weigh the pros and cons.
"When a person is in the world... his knees should be weak when they should be weak.
“This is the way to survive forever!
"My Lin family does not seek to dominate the world, we only seek to exist in the world as long as possible.
"As for Senior Dugu...that's it for now, you can make your own decision."
After she said these words, she seemed not to want to talk anymore, turned around, and disappeared for a moment.
Duguxiong stood there, silently looking at her back, his only remaining eye full of thought.
Just listen to Dugu Yan whisper from the side:
"In the world of martial arts, people often rise like comets, but there are also many who fall like meteors..."
"But he's different."
Duguxiong gently patted the back of his granddaughter’s hand:
"Those you mentioned are all people who work alone.
"But Jiang Ran is not...he also has the Blood Sword Hall.
"After the battle at Sunset Ping, he also captured Jiang Han from the Luohua Yanyu League... Although Jiang Han was rescued, who can know if there are other mysteries in this?
"Such a person will not fall easily."
"Then...then do I have to marry him after all?"
Dugu Yan was stunned. He didn't resist much, but he felt a little depressed despite himself.
When I thought about it again, I seemed to think of Jiang Ran's face, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of my mouth:
"Actually, he is very handsome..."
Duguxiong glanced at his granddaughter and suddenly smiled:
"You don't have to get married."
"ah?"
Dugu Yan was stunned: "Why?"
"Because, there is no such good thing in this world."
Duguxiong sighed.
Can you find shelter by marrying a granddaughter? Can you even stand on top of Jiang Ran's head and give orders as an elder?
How could such a good thing happen in this world?
Jiang Ran would not agree. I am afraid that my granddaughter does not have such a blessing.
…
…
"Are you proud?"
Tang Huayi looked at Jiang Ran who was sitting in front of the table, playing with the head, and chuckled:
"As soon as the tiger's body shook, Lin Wanyi bowed her head.
"Duguxiong climbed up the pole and sent his grandson to bring disaster to you...
"Do you feel very proud and majestic?
"But I can tell you, the word "sex" carries a knife to its head, so you'd better be more alert."
Jiang Ran didn't even raise his head, he just held various small tools and played with them on the head in front of him.
He applied methods on it to prevent the head from decaying for a long time:
"Lin Wanyi is smarter than I thought, which surprised me.
"Duguxiong will not really marry his granddaughter to me...unless that's all he really wants.
"But if you really think that I should do something, I guess Lin Wanyi wouldn't mind recommending herself as a pillow."
"ah?"
Tang Huayi was surprised:
"You even thought that Lin Wanyi recommended himself as a pillow mat?
"But why?"
"Because she is smart."
Jiang Ran said: "Although we met for the first time today, it was only once... but she is the kind of person who can abandon her own honor, disgrace and happiness in the face of family interests.
"She obviously allowed me to take care of her family for three years, but in fact, she took care of her family under my control.
"In order to have a place in this chaotic world.
"Even if the Blood Sword Hall becomes very powerful in the future, how can I let her Lin family fall after she pays her respects today?"
When he said this, he suddenly said "Huh":
"Two-skinned face!"
"what?"
Tang Huayi was still thinking about Jiang Ran's words, when she suddenly heard the phrase "two-skinned", which confused her.
Jiang Ran reached out and touched the man's head and face.
He actually took off another human skin mask.
This head belongs to Bai Xichao.
When Jiang Ran just got it, he opened a human skin mask by firelight, thinking that this one was the real face.
But I didn't expect that there was a mask under this mask.
Looking at each other with Tang Huayi, the two of them focused on this man's head.
Jiang Ran tried it again and found that there was...
Back and forth, two more pieces were peeled off.
Every face was delicate and handsome, until the last one was revealed, a dark, pock-marked face was revealed.
Not only is he black and pockmarked, but he also has a pair of upturned noses. His eyebrows were shaved clean by himself, but nothing can be seen. His eyes are one big and one small, and they are not symmetrical no matter how you look at them.
"this……"
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Little Silver Dragon Bai Xichao, so he looks like this?"
"No wonder he is covered with so many masks. Even if he wears a few more masks, he can't even cover up his face."
Tang Huayi shook his head repeatedly:
"Judging people by their appearance will make you lose Ziyu. You can't just look at his face in the future."
"..."
Jiang Ran curled his lips and took the human skin masks aside, preparing to clean them and put them away.
It seems like everyone in the world has this thing.
In fact, not many are really good at it...
Although there are also magical techniques similar to the Heavenly Secret Transformation Technique and the Autumn Water Ice Condensation Technique.
But how can such martial arts be so easy to learn?
The Heavenly Secret Fighting Transformation Technique comes from the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records...Wu Liangsheng relies on the Autumn Water Condensation Ice Technique to deceive people all over the world. This is a unique magical skill that is rare in the world.
For ordinary people, well-made human skin masks are extremely valuable.
It can be said that it is rare.
Jiang Ran got so much in one breath. Although it was useless for a while, who knows what will happen in the future?
"By the way, where did you talk about just now?"
Tang Huayi was shocked by Bai Xichao's true appearance, and then remembered what he had just said.
Jiang Ran had already stood up:
"Okay, let's talk about their affairs here.
"No eggs are left intact when the nest is overturned, it's all for self-preservation.
"Let's talk about something else..."
"What?"
"Mrs. Meng."
After Tang Huayi heard this, he fell into silence:
"Do you think something is wrong with Mrs. Meng?"
"It's very strange, but it's not unexpected."
Jiang Ran said:
"What I care about more now is actually Meng Huan."
"Do you think the timing of Meng Huan's illness was too unlucky?"
Tang Huayi seemed to have planned it for a long time: "When the incident at the Setting Sun Gate happened, Meng Huan claimed to be ill... But if there is any relationship between the two, I'm afraid it would be too early."
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this:
"You're right.
"Meng Huan said that the illness may be due to the Qin family's affairs, or it may be that he is really ill...
"The last possibility is that it is related to the Setting Sun Gate.
"But no matter how small the possibility is, we can't be careless. I plan to..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly looked out the door.
The sound of footsteps came quickly.
Then Li Tianyu's voice came again:
"Brother, this is Manager Meng from Ziyue Villa, inviting you to a banquet."
Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi looked at each other.
Jiang Ran then opened his mouth and said:
"Just tell Manager Meng and he'll be there soon."
"good."
Li Tianyu agreed, turned and left.
Jiang Ran stood up and put the head away.
Then he led Tang Huayi out of the door.
It's already evening now, and it's really time to have dinner.
Jingtan layman had already prepared and was standing in the courtyard waiting.
Obviously he was very excited to see Mrs. Meng again...
The three of them met together, and Li Tianyu was still looking after the house in the yard.
He pushed open the courtyard door, said hello to Meng Xiu and others, and walked towards the main hall.
But before he had taken two steps, he heard footsteps approaching in a hurry.
"It's not good, it's not good!!"
A young man dressed as a boy rushed over with a pale face:
"Manager, it's bad, the people from the Setting Sun Sect are here!!"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Xiu's expression changed drastically.
Jiang Ran and the other three were also stunned.
Especially Jiang Ran... He has seen the setting style of the Setting Sun Sect. Isn't it a little too early to come to the door at this time?
Meng Xiu quickly asked in detail what was going on. Although the boy was helpless, he still managed to speak:
"That wild dog Taoist... was beaten to death by someone, at the hands of a disciple of the Can Yang Sect...
"The half body is now hanging in front of the main hall.
"Blood spilled all over the floor!
"There were also bloody words left on the side.
"It's written...it's written...
"[Yours sincerely from the Setting Sun Gate!]"
