At this time, he was sitting in the main hall of the Iron Cavalry League, playing with two iron bladders in his hands, spinning them endlessly.
But there was no trace of comfort on his face, his brows were furrowed and his knuckles were a little blue.
He knew that what he was doing was going to make him lose his head.
But there are some things that will make you lose your head if you do them, and you will lose your head if you don't do them.
When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves.
Since the current situation forced him to this point, the only thing he could do was to follow the trend.
For this matter, he dispatched hundreds of experts from the alliance.
It was divided into two, and one went to Duanliu Gorge.
The rest are waiting somewhere, just in case, as a backup.
However, he doesn't know whether these people are of use now, and he doesn't want to know.
If possible, he just wants to cover his eyes, lie quietly on the bed, and wait for the sun to set and the result will come out.
But, he can't!
He is the leader of the Iron Cavalry Alliance, and the forces of the Iron Cavalry Alliance spread throughout the surrounding areas. If he closes his eyes, the other thirteen gangs around him will definitely rush up and tear him into pieces.
Let alone let his subordinates see his helpless appearance.
Otherwise, people's hearts will inevitably be in turmoil.
This... is also involuntary!
"Alliance leader."
A voice came from my ear.
Ren Guanlan did not raise his head, he knew who the speaker was.
Tie Qingshan.
The leader of the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders.
He was also Ren Guanlan's most trusted subordinate.
But ever since he failed to chase Gu Renlong's son and came back in embarrassment, even if Ren Guanlan still wanted to believe him, he could not get over the hurdle in his heart.
He is the leader of the Iron Cavalry Alliance, not an idiot.
The entire Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders were all dead. How could he survive?
The opponent took away the horse that the Iron-Blooded Thirteen was riding. How did he escape the enemy's pursuit when he was seriously injured and didn't even have a horse?
Especially when this opponent is Jiang Ran!
Ever since there were rumors in the world that Jiao Wei Qin, one of the Twelve Heavenly Skills of the former generation of machine master Feng Huo Lanshan, fell into the hands of Jiang Ran, Ren Guanlan has been paying close attention to investigating this person's information.
Judging from various traces, this person is certainly known as a hero.
In fact, he is extremely cruel and ruthless!
On Sunset Ping, they first beat Gu Renlong to death, and then captured Jiang Han.
It can be seen even more clearly that this person is very capable.
Facing this kind of person, even if Tie Qingshan is intact and all thirteen riders are there, there will be no chance.
In fact, this is also true... The Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders fell into Jiang Ran's hands.
But under such circumstances, how could he, Tie Qingshan, escape?
Unless... Jiang Ran did it intentionally and planned to fish with the current.
But the characteristics of the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders are so obvious that they can be recognized at a glance, without any need to fish...
The only possibility is that Jiang Ran let him go on purpose.
I want to use this person to spy on the news within the Iron Cavalry Alliance.
But even though the thought came up, Ren Guanlan never thought of testing it.
Tie Qingshan once made great contributions to the Iron Cavalry League.
Ren Guanlan believed that he would not be betrayed by the Iron Cavalry Alliance unless he had no choice but to do so.
As for that kind of last resort scenario, Ren Guanlan didn't want to think about it, nor did he dare to think about it.
Simply alienate yourself from him. The Iron Cavalry Alliance can support a free man, so let him live in the Iron Cavalry Alliance until his death.
But in the past few days, he seemed a little unable to hold himself back.
Ren Guanlan smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He just made a confused sound of "Huh?"
"An emergency report just came..."
Tie Qingshan spoke slowly, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.
Ren Guanlan finally raised his head slowly, glanced at Tie Qingshan first, and then slowly lowered his gaze to the letter.
It is sealed with fire paint, and above it is the unique mark of the Iron Cavalry Alliance.
It turns out the situation is urgent!
"When was it delivered?"
Ren Guanlan asked softly.
"Just now."
Tie Qingshan replied:
"After my subordinates get it, they will come and present it to the alliance leader."
Ren Guanlan stretched out his hand to take it, but his fingertips paused slightly. He saw another mark on the envelope.
It was a fire.
In addition to the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Cavalry, the Iron Cavalry Alliance also has seven masters.
Each of these seven people has a special name.
Duanliu Gorge is located within the territory of Sifang Mansion, and the master guarding Sifang Mansion has a violent personality and will get angry from time to time.
Therefore, people in the world call him the ‘Fire Lord’.
The mark on the envelope comes from him.
Ren Guanlan took a deep breath and finally took the letter.
Opening it casually, there were only a few words in the letter, and I had read it in the blink of an eye.
Just these few words made Ren Guanlan freeze on the spot.
He glanced at Tie Qingshan in front of him with a sense of loss.
Although I still had all kinds of doubts about him in my heart, between the ups and downs of my thoughts, I still said softly:
"I'm just afraid something will happen."
"What's wrong?"
Tie Qingshan asked quickly.
"The people from the Luohua Yanyu Alliance suddenly attacked the Sifang Mansion. Lord Fire... I'm afraid he's already dead in the battle."
Ren Guanlan spoke slowly.
Tie Qingshan's face darkened:
"Please order the leader of the alliance and grant me three hundred skilled men. My subordinates will take back the Sifang Mansion and dedicate it to the leader of the alliance!"
Ren Guanlan looked at the Tie Qing Mountain in front of him, and suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.
I felt more and more that my previous suspicion of Tie Qingshan seemed a bit arbitrary.
He thought about it seriously and shook his head slightly:
"I'm afraid there's another mystery behind what's going on here.
"The Luohua Yanyu Alliance is not close to where our Iron Cavalry Alliance is. They were sneaking along and suddenly appeared. I'm afraid it wasn't a temporary plan.
"Besides... Fire Lord worshiped too quickly.
"Although his martial arts may not be as good as Jiang Han, it is simply a fool's dream to take down the Sifang Mansion in this short period of time... unless..."
"unless?"
Tie Qingshan raised his head and looked at Ren Guanlan.
Ren Guanlan did not continue speaking, but instead said:
"Qingshan, I want you to do something."
"Leader, please speak!"
Tie Qingshan immediately clasped his fists.
Ren Guanlan looked at Tie Qingshan, all kinds of thoughts swirled in his mind, and finally said in a deep voice:
"Go find Yang Guanglin, Chen Hu, and the three of you will take away the old lady, madam, and the young leader."
"ah?"
Tie Qingshan was stunned.
Then he saw that Ren Guanlan had taken out a tips bag from his arms and handed it to Tie Qingshan:
"After you leave, you can open this kit and record a location on it. Just send them there to settle down.
“If you do this well, you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life!
"It can be said that I have never treated you badly..."
"Alliance leader!"
Tie Qingshan said quickly:
"What on earth do you mean?"
"No need to ask any more questions...this is the leader's order. You must act as ordered!"
Ren Guanlan's expression darkened.
Tie Qingshan did not dare to disobey, so he could only kneel down on one knee and clasp his fists with both hands:
"Subordinate...take the order!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But just as he was about to walk out of the lobby, he suddenly heard Ren Guanlan calling him.
He paused and turned back to look at Ren Guanlan who was sitting on the throne of the Iron Cavalry Alliance.
He saw Ren Guanlan looking at him directly, and said in a tone that was difficult to express in words:
"Can I trust you?"
These six words pierced Tie Qingshan's heart one by one.
Tie Qingshan felt something in his heart, and for some reason, the seven-foot-tall man's eyes turned red.
He slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard:
"Please rest assured, leader!!!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
Ren Guanlan silently watched Tie Qingshan's back leave, and then breathed out softly:
"Someone is coming..."
…
…
When disaster strikes, some people will face the difficulties and go up, while some people will try to escape. Some people will have to go up, but they will have to go up if they don't. You can't escape by running away. You can escape one person, but you can't escape the whole family.
Some things still have to be done.
Ren Guanlan did what he thought he should do most.
He ordered all the people and horses in his hands and rushed in the direction of Sifang Mansion.
The journey here is continuous, even if you don't sleep all the way and change horses one after another, it will still take three full days.
But that night, when Ren Guanlan looked at the place in front of him, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Only then did he remember...
From the General Helm of the Iron Cavalry League to Sifang Mansion, you also have to pass through the Duanliu Gorge.
Now Duanliu Gorge is right in front of us. Coming here means that we have arrived in Sifang Mansion.
But Ren Guanlan was not happy at all.
He always felt that there were ambushes on both sides of the cliff.
As long as you pass through this line of sky, you will never see the sky again!
Subconsciously, he reined in his horse and stopped, causing several people behind him to look at each other in confusion.
The Iron Cavalry Alliance has the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Cavalry and seven masters.
The Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders were almost killed by Jiang Ran in a battle at Jinyang Mansion.
The seven masters were scattered across the four prefectures.
The remaining three people stayed with Ren Guanlan.
Yang Guanglin and Chen Hu, whom Ren Guanlan mentioned earlier, are among them.
At this time, the master who was stationed in the state capital where the chief helm was located was brought along with him, as well as the only remaining master beside him.
The two people, one on the left and one on the right, came forward:
"Alliance leader...what's wrong?"
After walking smoothly, the alliance leader suddenly reined in his horse and naturally needed to ask.
Ren Guanlan shook his head gently:
"It's okay, we..."
As soon as he said this, he frowned slightly.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pointed:
"Look, is there someone there?"
The two people around him raised their heads at the same time after hearing this, and followed his fingers. Sure enough, they saw a person sitting on a rock under the mountain wall on one side of Duanliu Gorge.
It was already dark today, and the man was holding something in his hand, looking at it non-stop under the starlight, nodding while looking, as if he was gaining something.
Ren Guanlan and the other three looked at each other, then heard someone beside them say:
"I'm going to see who this person is here, pretending to be mysterious and mysterious!"
After saying that, he flew up and landed directly in front of the man.
He lowered his head and glanced at this person.
He is very young and wears Tsing Yi.
There is a jade belt tied around the waist, and a jade pendant hangs on the jade belt.
The jade pendant is in the shape of a leaf and looks very precious.
And there was a knife hanging on his waist... The knife was not out of its sheath, but there was nothing mysterious about it.
On the other side is a wine gourd.
When that person was reading something in his hand, he would occasionally pick it up and take a sip, which was a bit too satisfying.
The Iron Cavalry League master looked at this man with furrowed brows, but this man seemed not to notice his arrival.
The master of the Iron Cavalry League did not take this lightly.
Their group came in force, with hundreds of fast horses and hundreds of skilled warriors.
Even if you are not in front of you, you can feel the sound of horse hooves without any need for martial arts skills... But this person pretended not to know.
Then the master sneered:
"Pretend to be a ghost..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spread his hand and slapped him.
The man who was reading frowned slightly, grabbed the man's wrist with his backhand, and followed closely:
"Why did you launch a sneak attack?"
"It's ridiculous. I came here openly and the fight was natural. Who would sneak up on you?"
The missed hit confirmed what he was thinking. The master of the Iron Cavalry Alliance immediately did not hesitate anymore and spread out his two palms one after another, one move faster than the other.
But the man who was reading the book was still entangled with it with one hand.
The other hand was holding a book, his eyes never straying for a moment.
It seems that this book contains the secret method to defeat the enemy, allowing him to deal with the opponent easily.
The more the master of the Iron Cavalry League thought about it, the more shocked he became.
I have two hands, and someone else has one hand. I am concentrating on myself, and others are not looking at me. I am trying my best on my side, but on the other side... I can even yawn when I have nothing to do...
Who is this person?
With this in mind, I didn't dare to get entangled, and immediately wanted to get away.
But he wanted to retreat, but the man opposite him didn't want to.
Grabbing and pressing with one hand, the Iron Cavalry member involuntarily lowered his body, and saw the man raise his arm casually, and hit the chin with a snap. The whole person was lifted up in the air, and he sat on his butt.
on the ground.
When he wanted to get up, the man had already stepped forward and walked on his back.
"Don't move, it's not safe at all."
"……I kill you!"
Treat yourself as a mount and despise yourself for being unstable!?
What the hell is this human talk?
"Shut up, why are you so grumpy?"
The man casually hit him on the head with the book in his palm.
The injury wasn't serious, but it hurt a lot.
The master of the Iron Cavalry League was even more angry, but he was controlled by others and had no choice but to do anything.
Ren Guanlan watched this with cold eyes and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by another person beside him.
The man clasped his fists and said:
"Who is your distinguished master?"
"Um?"
The man raised his head when he heard the words, and under the moonlight, he saw him smiling slightly:
"Idle man."
"What a idle person... Even so, please get out of the way!"
The man from the Iron Cavalry Alliance spoke coldly.
The man scratched his head and pointed to the road at his feet:
"Where does this road... come from?"
“...the more people come and go, the more roads there will be.
"The imperial court also paved the way for building mountains... Why do you ask this?"
"Seeing that you kept asking me to get out of the way, I thought you built this road."
The man grinned:
"Since you didn't build it, you can walk on this road, and I can walk on it too. I'm tired of walking and I'm resting here. Why do you ask me to get out of the way? Is there such a truth in the world?"
"Oh, wait, there is also... Are you the strong men who cut the path?
"It is often said that I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road!?"
"nonsense……"
The people from the Iron Cavalry Alliance still wanted to speak.
Ren Guanlan already sighed:
"Master Jiang is so excited. He is not with his lovely wife and beautiful family in the middle of the night. He is making such a joke with our cavalry alliance in this mountainous place..."
"Jiang Ran!?"
As soon as these two words were uttered, hundreds of cavalrymen behind the entire Iron Cavalry Alliance burst into uproar at the same time.
The face of the person under Jiang Ran's butt changed even more:
"You...are you the Shocking Sword?"
"shut up."
Jiang Ran casually patted his head with the booklet in his hand:
"What are you yelling about? How can one bench talk so much?"
That person was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After doing it for a long time, he was not even a mount, but just a bench?
Just as he was furious, Jiang Ran smiled:
"Alliance Leader Ren has such a good eye, my humble reputation can actually reach the ears of Alliance Leader Ren..."
"We in the Iron Cavalry League have received a lot of attention from you. With the name of Jiang Daxia, I naturally dare not not listen to you."
Ren Guanlan said coldly:
"I have not yet thanked you for the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders."
"Hey, the relationship between you and me, why do you need to say thank you?"
Jiang Ran waved his hand, looking like he didn't have to be like this.
Ren Guanlan said coldly:
"But I don't know what Jiang Daxia's intention is when he is guarding here now?"
"That's fine."
Jiang Ran smiled and stood up. Seeing this, the man under him quickly wanted to get up.
However, he found that his hands and feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he could not move at all.
Seeing this, the disciples of the Iron Cavalry League originally thought that he would take the opportunity to escape, or continue to attack Jiang Ran... However, they did not expect that he did not move at all. They not only speculated, but was he addicted to being a bench?
At this time, Jiang Ran slowly spoke:
"The Iron Cavalry Alliance is acting against the will. As members of our Jin Chan gang, we collude with foreign enemies and collude with the masters of the Qing Kingdom.
"Intention to assassinate the eldest princess!
"The evidence for this matter is conclusive... Leader Ren, your head is now on the roster of the Sword Holding Division.
"The price is one thousand taels of gold!
"But there is a requirement, you have to live...
"In my opinion, you and I don't have to bother with any alliance leader.
"Get off your horse obediently and capture me without mercy.
"I'll take you back and give it to the eldest princess.
"As for the territory of your Iron Cavalry Alliance...well, just when you led this group of people to leave the headquarters of the Iron Cavalry Alliance, most of the people from the Blood Knife Hall have already arrived."
Ren Guanlan's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the main rudder.
Looking further ahead, it seems that we have crossed Duanliu Gorge and can see Sifang Mansion all the way.
Finally I closed my eyes...
"Jiang Han from the Luohua Yanyu Alliance...has become yours? You have deceived the entire world!"
Ren Guanlan is not a fool, he just looks strong but is actually weak.
Now that I hear Jiang Ran's words, I still don't understand... This is Jiang Ran's situation.
It was Jiang Ran's intention for the Luohua Yanyu Alliance to attack Sifang Mansion. When he received the urgent report, he hurried to Sifang Mansion to help, which was exactly what Jiang Ran wanted.
At this point, the general rudder of the Iron Cavalry Alliance was empty, and the Blood Sword Hall took advantage of the void and entered.
Over the years, the family fortune has been completely wiped out.
But at this moment, he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Ran:
"You told me to surrender without mercy?
"But where are you going to put this good man from our Iron Cavalry Alliance?
"You think...should I just surrender?"
After the last sentence was asked, a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami was heard behind him:
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!!"
