Yan Huishou insisted on running away, but Jiang Ran had no intention of chasing her, so he looked around the surroundings.
The location here is relatively low, and from the looks of it, it should be somewhere like the canyon behind Ziyue Mountain.
The environment is secluded and quiet, with a small waterfall right in front of you and flowing water.
It's impossible to tell from the outside that there is a hole in the mountain.
"It's a good disguise... If we build a summer resort in this place, it seems to be a good choice."
Jiang Ran suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
Then he felt like he was floating.
Only then did he earn a few taels of money by arresting and killing people, and began to imitate Yan Wushuang's arrogance and debauchery, building houses everywhere.
Shaking his head and throwing this unrealistic idea out of his mind, he mentioned Guan Jinqiu and flew up.
Based on the stars in the sky, he determined the direction and rushed towards Ziyue Villa.
After struggling for half a night, it's almost dawn today.
When Jiang Ran saw Ziyue Villa, the village was already peaceful.
You can only see smoke flying from time to time, which should be the result of the chaos last night.
When Jiang Ran arrived at the place, he did not enter through the main entrance.
Instead, he carefully avoided the eyes and ears and went directly to the small courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he appeared, he felt a line of sight paying attention to him.
No need to ask, it's naturally Li Tianyu.
This man's eyes are so fierce.
If a mosquito is eight hundred meters away, he can tell whether it is a male or a female... Of course, this is what he usually brags about, and there is no way to tell whether it is true or not.
When Jiang Ran arrived in the yard, Li Tianyu was already in front of Jiang Ran:
"Brother, where did you go last night?"
Taking advantage of the situation, he looked down and looked at Guan Jinqiu:
"This is?"
"This is not the place to talk. Where is Li Tianxin?"
Jiang Ran asked.
"I was called away by Manager Meng."
Li Tianyu said:
"Last night, someone attacked Ziyue Villa at night and killed Meng Huan, the owner of Meng Villa.
"Manager Meng said that you were also in the yard at the time, but when they rushed in, you were nowhere to be found.
"After the elder brother heard this, he followed them to find you.
"Only the Jingtan layman and I are left to guard this place..."
Li Tianyu briefly and comprehensively told what happened.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows:
"Meng Huan is dead?"
"kindness."
Li Tianyu nodded: "I heard he is dead... They said that the reason why the Setting Sun Sect attacked Ziyue Villa at night last night was to kill Meng Huan. They did not want the Jianghu forces in the East County Prefecture to form an alliance..."
Jiang Ran pondered slightly:
"Where is Jingtan layman?"
"In Daxia Gu's room, he was on guard all night last night. After all, he is old... he just took a rest."
"good."
Jiang Ran said: "Go to the people at Ziyue Villa and ask them to call Li Tianxin back and say I'm fine. After you finish this, go and have a rest. You've been tired all night."
"I'm fine."
Li Tianyu patted his chest and said: "I am young and strong, with profound internal strength..."
"How about I come and take the photo for you?"
Jiang Ran looked at the place he had just photographed.
"...It's not necessary."
Li Tianyu immediately shook his head: "Then I will do something right now."
After saying that, he quickly walked past Jiang Ran and went outside to look for the people at Ziyue Villa.
After taking just two steps, I heard Jiang Ran say from behind:
"correct."
"Brother, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Tianyu asked quickly.
Jiang Ran mentioned the person in his hand: "Don't talk about this."
"good."
Although Li Tianyu didn't know why, he still nodded.
After Jiang Ran withdrew his gaze, he went directly to Gu Xizhi's room.
When he opened the door and entered, Jingtan layman suddenly woke up.
After seeing Jiang Ran, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"I hope you're fine. Where did you go last night?"
"It's hard to explain in words."
As Jiang Ran said this, he put down Guan Jinqiu in his hand.
Jingtan layman raised his eyes and frowned slightly:
"This is……"
On the bed, when Jiang Ran came in, he was sleeping in the dark. Hearing this, he glanced at Guan Jinqiu.
The reason why he fell asleep was not because he didn't want to see Jiang Ran.
It's just that every time we meet, it's awkward.
The two people have different concepts of chivalry and often have conflicts because of this. This is the same as Tang Hua's opinion of him.
But Tang Huayi was limited by Li Tianxin's character design, and it was always difficult to argue with words.
But Jiang Ran was different... He was eloquent and made Gu Xizhi speechless every time. He even felt that what Jiang Ran said might not be unreasonable.
In order not to let what I hold on to in my heart be shaken.
He tried his best to turn a blind eye to Jiang Ran...otherwise, he was afraid that he would really be brainwashed by Jiang Ran.
At this time, I heard that there were still guests, so I took a glance.
However, after this glance, his whole body suddenly shook, and a huge force emerged from nowhere, causing him to fall off the bed.
His muscles and bones were damaged and it took several months for him to recover before he could get out of bed.
This fall inevitably made him grin, and layman Jingtan was even more frightened:
"What's wrong with you? Did a snake bite you on your butt?"
Gu Xizhi ignored the Jingtan layman, but tried hard to climb in the direction of Guan Jinqiu, murmuring:
"Qiu'er... Qiu'er... is that you?
"You...how did you become like this..."
"Are you crazy?"
Jingtan layman frowned: "Who do you think she is?"
Jiang Ran felt as if he was listening to a myth:
"How are you sure that she is Guan Jinqiu's?"
"I don't know...but I know she is Qiu'er."
Gu Xizhi raised his head and looked at Jiang Ran, bursting into tears for a moment: "She is Qiu'er, right?"
Seeing the certainty of his words, Jingtan layman could not help but look at Jiang Ran subconsciously, no matter how dissatisfied he was with him on weekdays, or even if he had just met Mrs. Meng in Yueshan Hall yesterday.
Want to find an answer.
Jiang Ran sighed softly.
He hadn't originally planned to say this now. After all, Guan Jinqiu had become like this, and he was afraid that even his own mother might not be able to recognize him when she saw him.
Who would have thought that Gu Xizhi would recognize it directly without any reason?
At this point, he could only sigh:
"Although I don't know how Senior Gu knew, you are right, she is Guan Jinqiu."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Jingtan layman's face turned pale.
Gu Xizhi's face was full of sorrow, and he could no longer care about anything else. He tried his best to crawl to Guan Jinqiu, took her remaining hand, and tears fell heavily on the back of her hand:
"How...how could it be like this...how could it be like this? Where is the arm...the arm?"
"Who, who harmed you like this?
"Senior brother will definitely chop him into pieces with thousands of knives and crush his bones into ashes!!"
Guan Jinqiu, who could not help but gnash his teeth even if Jiang Ran tapped his acupuncture points, wishing he could bite off a piece of meat from Jiang Ran's body, suddenly lost his temper when facing the old man holding his hand.
Just looked at him steadily.
Suddenly, she moved the hand embedded in the sword blade, but just as she raised it, she dropped it again.
Then he took out the hand that Gu Xizhi was holding and hurriedly wiped Gu Xizhi's tears.
There was a muffled sound in her throat, and no one could understand what she was saying.
But it's full of sadness.
Only then did Jingtan layman wake up. He shook his head fiercely and looked at Jiang Ran:
"What exactly is going on?
"Young Master Jiang...where did you find...find her?
"How could she become like this?
"If she is... yes... then who was Mrs. Meng in the hall yesterday?"
"Listen to me and tell me slowly."
Jiang Ran reached out and closed the door, poured himself a cup of tea, and then told all about what he had experienced after setting foot in Meng Huan's room last night, as well as the content of the message Guan Jinqiu left under the trap.
Of course, some of the content is also vague.
After all, not everything can be said out loud.
After finishing his words, Gu Xizhi had already closed his eyes. His sword energy was contained all over his body, but it was on the verge of exploding.
Jingtan layman looked at Jiang Ran:
"Since you brought her back, you came to us directly.
"I think I already have some considerations in mind..."
"Exactly."
Jiang Ran said:
“The scene in Tianshangque has not been finished yet, I am still waiting for their follow-up.
"It's just that Guan Jinqiu can't see people, at least for the time being.
"I can't take care of her if she is placed elsewhere, so I can only bring her to you... I think it won't be a big problem if she is placed with you..."
Jingtan layman was about to nod, but suddenly felt that the world was spinning.
Gu Xizhi also worked hard.
Jiang Ran then remembered that Guan Jinqiu was poisonous.
If there is no suitable method, others will not be able to get close at all.
He immediately had no choice but to take out the antidote pill from his arms, give each of them one pill, and then said:
"These are extraordinary times, and you don't need to take care of her on a daily basis.
"In my opinion, just find a big box and hide it in it.
"When she needs to eat, just open it and let her eat..."
"No!"
Gu Xizhi immediately shook his head: "Qiu'er has been spoiled since she was a child, how can she be treated like this? She...she...she can't stand it."
Hearing this, Jingtan layman glanced at Guan Jinqiu and his eyes turned red:
"In the past years, she has always been very concerned about her makeup...
"Who would have thought that such a day would happen."
Gu Xizhi said at this time:
"It's up to me to decide how to take care of her. I don't need Jiang Shaoxia... to worry too much.
"Don't treat her as a burden this time and rescue her from the trap.
"Thank you so much, Gu Xi!"
"Although you and I have different ideas and conflicts from time to time, this is the only thing. If there is any need for me in the future, I will be obliged to do it even if it means going through mountains of fire."
Jingtan layman also pondered a little:
"Don't worry, Young Master Jiang, we will handle this matter, don't worry."
Jiang Ran sighed softly:
"It's good that you two know what's going on. The curtain hasn't been lifted yet, so I'll hold back for now."
"I understand."
Gu Xizhi nodded immediately.
Jiang Ran finally couldn't help but rolled his eyes:
"Don't worry about it...you have to be taken care of yourself. The one who will take care of you two in the end is Jingtan layman, isn't he?"
Gu Xizhi: "..."
Then he thought for a moment and said:
"That was his honor. If he hadn't insisted on snatching my junior sister from me back then, why would my junior sister have married into a dangerous place like Ziyue Villa and ended up like this.
"Now that I have him waiting at the bedside, he can already be grateful."
Jingtan layman's face darkened:
"What does it mean to serve you two? I only serve Qiu'er!"
"You called me Qiu'er too?"
Gu Xi was angry again.
Jiang Ran knocked on the table lightly:
"If you plan to make this matter known to everyone now, then I will go out and kill people."
"..."
Gu Xizhi and Jingtan layman immediately shut up.
They actually don't mind Jiang Ran going out to kill people.
However, when they set up a stage to perform a show, the people in the sky even killed Meng Huan in order to perform the show.
It would be a pity if people are not allowed to finish singing and everyone who is supposed to come will come...?
Now that there is a chance, naturally we have to find a way to hit them hard.
Instead of killing one or two people and forgetting it.
Jiang Ran then chatted with Jingtan layman and the others for a few words before leaving.
After some persuasion from him, and because Guan Jinqiu was indeed in no condition that she couldn't bear, the two of them actually kept her in the box on weekdays.
Guan Jinqiu didn't know if he was still sane.
When facing others, he is full of aggression.
But facing Gu Xizhi, he didn't...
Thinking about the content on the wall, all the articles are about senior brothers, and only one or two sentences mention the layman Jingtan.
The answers to some things are already obvious.
But now, it seems unclear how important these answers are.
…
…
When I came out of the room, I heard footsteps in front of the courtyard door.
Meng Xiu and Tang Huayi came together.
Meng Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Ran, but the next moment, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly took a step forward and knelt down on one knee:
"Master Jiang! Purple Moon Villa has been established for many years. Although the old man is just a domestic slave, he still considers himself to be in the world.
"Now that the owner of the village is in trouble, I beg Jiang Daxia to please save my Ziyue Villa for the sake of Jianghu's family!!"
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand to help him up:
"No need to say more, Manager Meng. Last night I was tricked by the agency and fell into a trap. I was extremely ashamed of myself for not saving Master Meng.
"Fortunately, Ziyue Villa is still there... Now if there is a place that can be used, it is of course my duty to do so."
"Thank you, Master Jiang!!"
Meng Xiu wanted to salute again.
Jiang Ran stopped him:
"How were you hurt last night?"
"Why……"
Meng Xiu sighed, which showed that Ziyue Villa had suffered a lot.
The people of the Setting Sun Sect are so clever in martial arts that they are no match for the ordinary disciples of the Villa.
Fortunately, there are a large number of people here, including the Dugu family, the Lin family, and the group of Jianghu people outside who want to come in but can't.
Only then could Ziyue Villa be saved.
"But now that the owner of the village is dead, we at Ziyue Villa no longer have anyone who can take the lead.
"The old man of the Dugu family and the third young lady of the Lin family have already sent letters to summon experts from all over the East County to come to Ziyue Villa to discuss matters.
"It's just that we have no leader... we will have to rely on Daxia Jiang when the time comes."
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and said:
"Jiang is young and has little knowledge, so he doesn't dare to take on big responsibilities, but as he said, he is bound to do whatever he needs to do.
"Now, Manager Meng can relax and do what he should do. I will not leave Ziyue Villa for a while..."
As soon as he said this, he heard the sound of footsteps.
Several boys came up panting:
"Management, management is not good anymore."
"... Another person died?"
Meng Xiu turned around to look, his face full of solemnity.
"No, no...an official came to the door!!"
"Official official?"
Meng Xiu was stunned: "What are the officials doing here?"
"Since the Setting Sun Sect has appeared, it is normal for official officials to come over... After all, the Setting Sun Sect is not just an enemy of the world."
Jiang Ran asked:
"Do you know who is coming?"
"It's Tian Xiwen, the chief arrester of Dongjun Prefecture!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi looked at each other.
Meng Xiu frowned:
"It's him?"
"Does Manager Meng know this person?"
"Tian Xiwen was born in Jianghu, and was born in Wenshanyuan, one of the seven sects.
"But this person is fine. The key lies in his sister..."
Meng Xiu said with a headache expression on his face:
"His sister has an eccentric personality, immense strength, and extremely good martial arts skills.
"With two axes, ordinary masters are no match for them.
"He is also very reckless...he is extremely reckless and will cause trouble wherever he goes."
"Tian Miaomiao?"
Jiang Ran thought of this name that didn't match her personality or her strange powers at all.
It’s just a towering tree. Where did the seedlings come from?
"Daxia Jiang also knows?"
Meng Xiu was stunned.
"We met once. Since we are old acquaintances, let's go meet Manager Meng together."
"good."
Meng Xiu immediately stretched out his arms to guide him.
Jiang Ran walked in front, and Tang Huayi followed him.
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Ran nodded slightly to her.
Tang Huayi also relaxed a little, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he glared at Jiang Ran fiercely.
Jiang Ran was confused for a moment.
Walking out from the inner courtyard, you soon arrived at Yueshan Hall.
Before entering the door, I saw a group of young men and women dressed in police uniforms lined up on both sides, eyeing everyone around them with eager eyes.
Stepping into Yueshan Hall again, you can see that the situation in the hall is tense.
A slender, graceful and good-looking girl was lifting a little fat man up with one hand, carrying him in the air, and swinging him like a sack.
As he shook it, the little fat man also dropped equipment from his body.
Either a finger ring fell, or a jade pendant fell.
It jingled and broke for a while.
The little fat man was so shaken that he was dizzy, drool dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help shouting:
"No, no... that one is more expensive, oh, that one is more expensive..."
I guess if it shakes for a while, this noble young man will become a poor young man.
At this time, except for Tian Xiwen, who was trying to stop the fight but was completely sincere, everyone else in the hall was sitting and drinking tea, seemingly turning a blind eye to the surrounding situation.
The footsteps of Meng Xiu and Jiang Ran were heard.
Tian Miaomiao then turned around and looked out curiously, and saw Jiang Ran at a glance, and she was immediately overjoyed:
"It's you!!!"
Jiang Ran nodded: "Yes, it's me."
"Great, you and I will fight for another three hundred rounds!!!"
Without saying a word, Tian Miaomiao rushed towards Jiang Ran with the noble son in hand, who still didn't know what was going on.
After she kicked the noble master twice, the noble master finally realized what he was doing and couldn't help shouting with tears in his eyes:
