Han Derang was on guard all day long, like a frightened bird. This time, I can leave Liao and return to the Central Plains, so I am naturally very happy. Although he is not as good as his Lao Tzu, he is also a person who has been immersed in the culture of the Central Plains, and he also has a set of assassinations or something. So, although he could set off and get rid of Xiao Yanyan's control immediately, he did not get carried away because of this, but made careful arrangements for this trip, and even arranged four or five teams of people, each team took a different route, and he himself was dressed in disguise.

Han Derang had a hard time trying to escape this time. The Jiang family and Zhang Ci successively sent many batches of spies to find out all of Han Derang's deployments clearly.

At this moment, Jiang Fan and Zhang Ci were talking about Han Derang on this highly accurate internal map, and Chen Qiuniang saw a little bit of resourcefulness from Han Derang.

"This identity can be retained, but do you have a more suitable candidate?" After agreeing with Zhang Ci on how to deal with Han Derang, Jiang Fan raised such a question. Chen Qiuniang knew that Jiang Fan's implication was to ask Zhang Ci if there was a suitable person to continue Han Derang's identity so that he could better control the entire Liao State.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

"Then you can't be empty." Jiang Fan also fell into deep thought.

Regarding the issue of employing people, Chen Qiuniang naturally couldn't interject, so she barbecued meat on the side and listened to the deployment of these two men. Zhang Ci replied to Jiang Fan: "For the time being, I will let a reliable person stay in that position, and when Han Derang appears, I will arrange it." ”

Jiang Fan did not directly answer Zhang Ci's words, but held his head in his right hand and watched Chen Qiuniang's barbecue. Chen Qiuniang was embarrassed by him, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Watching you barbecue, it feels warm." Jiang Fan replied lazily. Zhang Ci coughed twice and said, "If it's okay, Jiang Gongzi should rest early, you have been running around for a long time." ”

"No matter how long you run, it's not as long as the second son of Zhang who traveled thousands of miles from Shuzhong to this city." Jiang Fan's tone was lazy, and he didn't mean to get up at all, and after saying this, he immediately said, "I have a place to live in Meiyuan, after all, Miss Su is a girl who has not left the cabinet, if I let Zhang Ergongzi live here, a lonely man and a widow, Miss Su's reputation is not good." Therefore, I have instructed my subordinates to arrange a place to live, and I will ask the second son to move later. ”

"Don't bother with it, Su Ying is my wife who hasn't passed through the door, so you don't have to avoid suspicion." Zhang Ci replied.

Jiang Fan shook his head with a sigh and said, "The second son's words are wrong. Even if she is a wife who has not passed through the door, she must also be very respectful, where can she tolerate others to talk nonsense. You say yes, right? ”

This is reasonable, Zhang Ci didn't say anything for a while, at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door, and then Hongmei shouted eagerly outside the door: "Childe, childe, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

Chen Qiuniang got up with a "sigh" and said, "Hongmei is injured, and her tone is wrong." "Yes, although there were only a few conversations with Hongmei, Hongmei is an extremely elegant woman, even if there is a big event, she will not shout like this. Moreover, Chen Qiuniang has been by Su Qingyuan's side for several years, and she is more sensitive than ordinary people to breathe around her.

Zhang Ci nodded, Jiang Fan got up with a "swish", the long sword in his hand had been put down, and the short dagger in his sleeve was held in his hand, he instructed Yue next to him, saying, "Go open the door, be careful." ”

Yue nodded, and went to open the door. Zhang Ci suddenly protected Chen Qiuniang behind him in a leap, completely forgetting that Chen Qiuniang is now Su Qingyuan's protégé, and her swordsmanship is also very good. Chen Qiuniang saw him dodging in front of her, but her heart was still warm, so she also held a long sword in her hand, hiding behind him like a little girl, and secretly aimed at possible movements.

The moon opened the door, the lights were swaying outside, the wind swept the cold and snowflakes into the house, and there stood a purple red plum at the door, whose face was hidden in the hat, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a red plum or not. Everyone in the room is on alert.

Jiang Fan suddenly flashed, and for the first time let people see what a sword saint is. He's extremely fast. Chen Qiuniang's swordsmanship was already good, but at this moment, she couldn't see how Jiang Fan could make a move to knock the six people hidden behind Hongmei to the ground. Yes, Jiang Fan only used one move, and the six of them fell to the ground silently, and the next moment, Jiang Fan's short sword rose and fell, and in an instant, all the big swords on Hongmei's body were shattered to the ground. And Jiang Fan had already calmly flashed into the house, and said loudly: "Nianqiu, clean up the outside of the house." ”

Hongmei's tattered dress fluttered up and down in the cold wind. At this moment, Chen Qiuniang finally knew which martial arts described in martial arts novels were not exaggerated descriptions, because what the eyes saw was more exaggerated than what was described.

"Is this the Juggernaut?" She couldn't help but whisper.

Zhang Ci let out a "hmm" and held her hand in his hand. Jiang Fan sat down on the main seat, and with a whistle, the secret guards of the plum garden standing in the dark fell outside the house one after another, guarding the entire courtyard.

"You can deal with it." Jiang Fan said to Hongmei at the door.

Hongmei's face was pale, her arms were still bleeding, and she knelt down at the door, saying, "It's someone from the Chai family, they want to talk to Gongzi, but I don't want to, so-"

"The people of the Chai family won't be like this, Hongmei, do you have this bit of eyesight?" Jiang Fan said unhappily. The expression and tone were like an absolute king, not at all like the innocent young man I saw for the first time in Liuhe Town.

Hongmei was silent, and after a while, she suddenly jumped, and the sleeve arrow shot at Zhang Ci. Hongmei has a problem, everyone is on guard, at this time her move will naturally not be successful, the moon next to her stopped the sleeve arrow, and captured Hongmei.

"It seems that I overestimated their patience and strength." Zhang Ci laughed and said loudly.

Chen Qiuniang didn't understand what Zhang Ci was talking about for a while, but Jiang Fan obviously understood, because he immediately made sarcastic remarks, saying: "It's not that they have bad patience, it's that you are so annoying that people can't wait to deal with you quickly." ”

"It depends on whether they have the strength to do it. The last time he was in Dujiangyan, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make sure that Yun'er was foolproof, he thought they would still have a chance to preserve their strength? It's ridiculous. Zhang Cilang said, but it seemed to be for people outside.

Jiang Fan only accepted the short sword in his hand, put the long sword in his hand, and asked, "Nianqiu, you say, how many traitors are there in Meiyuan?" ”

Nian Qiu, who was standing on the side, immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Childe, the maid has already checked out according to your instructions, but Sister Hongmei is not among them. ”

"I naturally know what's going on with her, you do what you have to do." As soon as Jiang Fan raised his hand, Nian Qiu took the order, walked out quickly, and set off a firework in the dark sky, the brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the snowflakes around him were fine and dense, and it was really tight.

"You're doing a good job of deploying too." Zhang Ci nodded, but his right hand clenched Chen Qiuniang's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid?" ”

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said softly: "I'm not afraid, with you, I'm not afraid." ”

She spoke softly, like a dense web of fine silk floating around, with infinite shyness. Outside, there was a dense sound of footsteps, and although the feet were very light, the snow was so thick that even those with extremely high kung fu could not help but make a movement.

Chen Qiuniang's ear power is not bad, and there are many people who can hear it, and they are all top players. She didn't know if it was the enemy or the people Zhang Ci deployed. But I don't know why, I'm really not afraid at all by his side, even if it's a disadvantage that can't be recovered, I'm not afraid.

"I deployed mine, and it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Fan spoke sarcastically.

Zhang Ci still held Chen Qiuniang and said with a smile: "You rushed back in such a hurry, but because there was a change tonight, you were afraid that something would happen." ”

"And that's not because of you, either." Jiang Fan said, and his gaze came, but it was only a glimpse of it, and he looked out of the door again.

"No matter who you are for, this time, you are destined to betray the Jiang family." Zhang Ci asked softly, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"Some people in the Nine Great Families can no longer afford the ancestral teachings, and it's time for change. As for that position, it's just those people, those code names, for a lifetime, those people can be changed. As Fuguang Gongzi told me, 'A shadow that appears because of light can be regarded as illusory, an identity, a skin, and how can others know what kind of ghost lives in it'. As long as the people who live in that skin are under our control, history moves forward according to prophecy. The nine major families can still turn over the clouds and become the chosen ones. Jiang Fan said slowly.

Chen Qiuniang understood his words, Jiang Fan meant that no one or thing should be changed now, whether it was Zhao Kuangyin or Han Derang, as long as the identity of these people was alive, as for the people under this identity, they could control it, it didn't matter who that person was.

"It seems that you are the real successor chosen by the Jiang family's generation, hehe, I underestimated the old men of the Jiang family, and they dared to report false news to me." Zhang Ci smiled, "You are also hiding so deeply." ”

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "What you see is me, and it has always been me." Lift the sword in the rivers and lakes, be a swordsman who fights swordsmen, be at peace with what happens, see different scenery everywhere with his beloved, and when he is tired, he will stop in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, have children, plow the fields and hunt. It's just that I, like you, am the chosen one by this strange fate. So, at a very young age, we weren't who we were. ”

Jiang Fan's tone lowered directly, and Chen Qiuniang only felt a fine and dense pain in her heart. She originally thought that only Zhang Ci was in such an involuntary situation, but she never thought that Jiang Fan, who was the concubine of the Nine Great Families, would also be like this.

"There will always be a turnaround." Zhang Ci seemed to be comforting Jiang Fan when he said this, but he seemed to be sighing again. Therefore, he tightened the hand in his hand again, as if he was afraid that the woman in his hand, who had finally been warm and cold, would slip away, and he was afraid that this hard-won happiness would be shattered in an instant.

"In the old days, I was not as miserable as you, I had no parents, no friends, and I didn't dare to have anyone I cared about. I have siblings, I have parents, I have a master, and I grew up carefree in a beautiful place, although I have to receive a lot of learning every day that I don't want to accept. Jiang Fan said, his tone becoming more and more self-deprecating, and he continued, "Now, God is not bad to you. Our group of unfortunate people, if there is a fate that can escape tragedy, is also possible. ”

Jiang Fan said, quickly turned around and said, "I'll go out to deal with it, you and Qiu Niang can have tea here." ”

Yes, Jiang Fan was talking about "Qiu Niang", not Su Ying. He really knew who she was from the beginning. I don't know why, Chen Qiuniang's tears instantly overflowed her eyes, and she wanted to shout "Jiang Fan", but she didn't shout, just watched his clothes fluttering in the dark night. R1152
