It wasn't until Jiang Ran finished speaking that Ye Jingshuang came back to her senses and quickly closed her mouth that had been opened unconsciously due to shock.
Looking at Jiang Ran again, it suddenly dawned on her:
"It's you!?"
At this moment, how could she not understand.
The whistling sound she heard before came from Jiang Ran.
She hadn't thought before that it was because Jiang Ran was too young and...she was drying clothes shirtless.
She couldn't find any way to connect Jiang Ran with the mysterious master who was full of powerful inner strength in the roar.
After all, it's easy for a master like that to use internal force to dry clothes, so why bother?
Jiang Ran heard this and smiled at Ye Jingshuang.
After turning around, he looked at a translucent panel in front of him and frowned slightly.
[Trigger mission: Capture Dongxuan, the leader of Tianwang Village Dazhai!]
【Do you want to accept it?】
This prompt appeared just now. To be precise, it only appeared after Ye Jingshuang revealed Zhang Dongxuan's identity and mentioned that the imperial court offered a reward of one thousand taels of silver for his capture.
But when Zhang Dongxuan came to Jiang Ran in black clothes and masked appearance, the system did not respond at all.
"Does this mean that... the key point in triggering the mission is whether I know he is a wanted criminal?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his system seemed a bit inadequate.
Their system has already calculated everything and set tasks before anything happens, and is almost omniscient and omnipotent.
As for me... I have to figure out the person's identity before the mission can pop up.
But what is commendable is that the mission rewards are generous.
But it cannot be ruled out that it is a bonus for completing the mission for the first time...
While thinking about this in my mind, I silently chose to accept it.
I thought that I could get to the county seat as soon as possible so that I could take on the next task, but I didn't expect that the life-saving medicine... No, it was the wanted criminal who came to my door.
Is there any reason to refuse entry?
[Accepting the mission successfully!]
[Apprehension target: Capture Dongxuan, the leader of Tianwang Village and Dazhai!]
[Apprehension progress: in progress...]
Seeing this, Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Then he came to Zhang Dongxuan.
The fight we had just now was really no small matter.
Zhang Dongxuan never expected that Jiang Ran would hide it so well.
As soon as he took the move, the expression on his face didn't even have time to change, and all the meridians in his body were shattered by Jiang Ran.
At this time, he was kneeling on the ground. The air was already coming in but not coming out. He couldn't move, let alone escaping.
Seeing Jiang Ran arrive, he reluctantly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Ran, gritting his teeth:
"You...who are you?"
"Jiang Ran.
"The river in the rivers and lakes is leisurely."
Jiang Ran was honest and seemed extremely sincere.
"you!!"
Zhang Dongxuan was seriously injured and dying. After hearing these words, his heart suddenly surged. He couldn't help but spat out a mouthful of blood, fell down on his back, and died.
"!!!"
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment:
"I am indeed Jiang Ran, and I didn't lie...why did you die just because you disagreed with me?"
Come over quickly to check his pulse, it's hopeless.
Immediately he quickly opened his system panel.
I was relieved when I found that the task progress column still showed 'in progress'.
"It seems that death is fine."
Just looking at the corpse, Jiang Ran felt a little confused.
It's hard to move this thing.
Moreover, if the government thinks that they just found a similar corpse to fool things... I'm afraid it won't be easy to complete this task.
Thinking of this, he turned back and glanced at Ye Jingshuang.
Seeing that she couldn't stand up, he dragged Zhang Dongxuan's body to her and took out the pill:
"Miss Ye, take this medicine first."
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran, took the medicine, swallowed it, then clasped her fists and said:
"It turns out that the young master's name is Jiang Ran... Many thanks to Mr. Jiang. I never expected that Mr. Jiang possesses peerless martial arts.
"On the other hand, I was so ignorant in front of a real person that I made the young master laugh."
"Girl, don't blame me, I didn't mean to hide it."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I just didn't know that the girl was here to see me. You and I met by chance. It's not easy for me to meet you, so just tell me that I have profound inner strength."
"That's true..."
Ye Jingshuang couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said was interesting, and immediately clasped her fists solemnly:
"Anyway, my escape from death this time was all thanks to Young Master Jiang.
"First it was a favor of a meal, and now it is a favor of saving a life...but I don't know how to repay it."
"Serious words."
Jiang Ran waved his hand and glanced at Zhang Dongxuan's body:
"This man is cruel and ruthless.
"I'm saving you, and I'm also protecting myself, so I don't deserve any help from you.
"However, there are some things I would like to ask the girl about."
"Master Jiang, please tell me."
Ye Jingshuang quickly replied seriously.
Jiang Ran smiled sheepishly:
"That is, if I want to take his body to the government in exchange for a reward, what should I do if the government doesn't believe he is Zhang Dongxuan?"
Ye Jingshuang was stunned when he heard this. He saw that Jiang Ran was not joking, and then he said:
"Young master does not need to take his body to the government, he only needs to take his head.
"This man was a great thief in the past. He was once famous and had quite a lot of connections.
"The county government needs to report it at all levels, and wait for the people from the government office to come and verify the identity.
"Therefore, you'd better go directly to the government office to make an appointment.
“This way, you can save a lot of trouble.
"In addition, if Mr. Jiang has no acquaintances in the government office... it is best to find a witness who can prove Zhang Dongxuan's identity to vouch for you."
"Witness?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, his eyes fell on Ye Jingshuang's face, and he thought slightly:
"Miss Ye, I would like to ask, where are you going?"
"I...I plan to go to Cangzhou Mansion."
Ye Jingshuang sighed softly:
"Young Master Jiang also heard what Zhang Dongxuan said just now. Although I studied martial arts from the Liuyun Sword Sect, I was born in the Ye family and am the eldest daughter of the Ye family.
"Tonight, my Ye family suffered a great disaster. From the whole family, only me and my younger sister, who is studying abroad, survived.
"I broke out of the siege. This trip is to go to Cangzhou Prefecture to find a family friend for help."
"Are you going to Cangzhou Mansion too?"
Jiang Ran was overjoyed when he heard this. The reason why he asked Ye Jingshuang where he was was actually because he wanted her to be the witness.
After all, she was the one who recognized Zhang Dongxuan tonight.
Moreover, it seems that she has a good background, and she can speak well even though she is not in the government.
That's why I asked this question.
But he didn't expect that she actually had the same purpose as him.
"Is Mr. Jiang also going to Cangzhou Mansion?"
Ye Jingshuang was stunned and asked casually: "Are you going to find relatives or friends?"
Jiang Ran smiled bitterly:
"Save people."
"ah?"
Ye Jingshuang was stunned:
"Who needs to be rescued by Mr. Jiang?"
"My master..."
Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the letter asking for help sent to him by the old drunkard.
