"Your Excellency is wise!" Ru Luo Chen said respectfully, "However, there is another person who is also missing. ”

"It doesn't matter." The adult knew that Ru Luo Chen was talking about the leading young master, so he waved his hand, "That person doesn't matter, just run." ”

As he said this, he squatted down and probed Chen Zhongming's snort, and saw that he was no longer dead, so he turned around and got on the horse.

"This is over, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." He beckoned some of his men to mount their horses, and then they whipped their horses and drove away along the road they had come.

Seeing that those people were walking away, Jiang Lan also jumped down from the tree with the young master in his arms. He looked at Chen Zhongming's body in front of him, his eyes were full of complexity, and then he sighed, and then turned around and walked into the forest on the side with the young master in his arms.

After walking for more than half an hour, Jiang Lan found a suitable clearing in the forest. He put the young master down, and found a big tree to lean on it.

"Okay, you blind Xu, you rotten ass thing, you dare to calculate your master." Jiang Lan took a branch in his hand, and he greeted Xu Blind while breaking the branch. He didn't expect everything to go smoothly when he came down the mountain, but he was involved in this mess as soon as he got off the mountain, but he never expected it.

"Ru Luo Chen?" He muttered the name he had just heard, "If I remember correctly, 'Ruluo' is the surname of the Xianbei people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, how can this still be related to the Northern Wei Dynasty!" No matter how much he tried, he couldn't figure it out, and before he knew it, he was asleep against the tree.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already dark, and he looked around, only to see that the young master was still lying not far away, without any sign of waking up.

"Uh...... I seem to have forgotten something. Jiang Lan got up and came to the young master's side, only to see that although the young master was not awake at this time, his embroidered eyebrows were slightly frowned, his small mouth was closed, his teeth seemed to be clenched, and he had a very painful expression.

"Hey! You wake up. Jiang Lan patted her shoulder, "It's dawn!" Get up and eat! ”

The young master was woken up by Jiang Lan, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw that the masked man was squatting beside her last night and looking at her. She subconsciously touched her waist with her right hand, but she didn't touch anything, so she had to struggle to retreat backwards, until she retreated three or four steps away.

Jiang Lan thought that she would react like this, so he didn't stop it, just squatted in place and watched.

The young master stared at the black-clothed man in front of him, although the other party covered his head and masked, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but the look in his eyes made her disgusted for a while, if he had nothing to do in his legs, he would definitely go up and give him a slap.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and hurriedly lowered her head to check her clothes, but when she saw that the clothes on her body were tightly worn, and the jade belt around her waist was tightly tied, she also calmed down.

"Don't worry, although the master is not a decent gentleman, he will not take advantage of others." Jiang Lan shook his head, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms. He opened the cloth bag, and inside was a small piece of bread that had already been eaten. He casually broke off the place where he had bitten, and handed the other half to the young master.

"After tossing all night, I guess you're hungry too." Seeing that the young master didn't answer, he stuffed the part he had bitten into his mouth under the face towel, "Second horn, don't be oily." ”

Seeing that Jiang Lan stuffed a mouthful of bread and spoke vaguely, the young master laughed out loud. The wind and dust on his face could not cover the flower-like smile, and his face, which was already as cold as frost, was like a snow lotus blooming on the ice cliff at this moment, and Jiang Lan was stunned.

The young master also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and quickly put away his smile, he took half of the cake in Jiang Lan's hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it: "This cake, why does it smell sour with sweat......"

Jiang Lan was very embarrassed by this sudden question: "Uh...... Yes, people are prone to sweat as soon as they run, and I took this cake for a night, naturally...... Ouch, why are you asking so much, whether you eat it or not, this is all I have to eat, sir! ”

The young master frowned slightly, although he was extremely reluctant, but there was no other choice for hunger in his stomach at the moment. She took a small bite, and the taste of the cake was really unpalatable, dry and astringent, but she could only continue to eat it, and soon half of the cake was eaten by her.

"Do you drink water?" Jiang Lan untied the water bladder from his waist again and handed it to the young master.

The young master took the water bladder and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it first, but fortunately there was no peculiar smell in the water. Instead of facing her mouth directly, she lifted the water bladder and poured the water into her mouth with her head tilted.

"After eating and drinking, it's time to take your legs back." Jiang Lan pointed to one of the young master's calves and said, only to see that the exposed knee was already swollen a lot, and the calf was also thicker.

Jiang Lan stretched out his hand to heal the other party, but saw that the young master still subconsciously retreated.

"Alas...... Since you still don't worry about the master, then you have to do it! ”

Jiang Lan sighed, and then pulled out the young master's soft sword from his waist, and the young master was a little panicked when he saw this.

"What are you going to do? You...... Well? You're ......."

Seeing the other party's action of drawing the sword, the young master thought that the man in black was going to take his own life, but he didn't expect the other party to hand the sword to him, and she took the soft sword with some hesitation.

"If you don't worry about the master, put the sword against the master's neck, if you don't feel at ease, then there is no other way!"

Seeing that the young master didn't speak, Jiang Lan only took it as a tacit. As he crouched down, he placed the sword in his opponent's hand on his shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you directly?"

"Then you will kill it, anyway, this is: peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic!"

The young master was a little amused when she heard this, and she took a sip and said, "Phew, you flamboyant!" ”

"The master is going to pick up your legs, you better keep your mouth shut, otherwise you ......" Jiang Lan used both hands before he finished speaking. After only listening to a few clicks, he took the leg back, "...... Otherwise, it is easy to bite the tongue......"

Jiang Lan raised his head and saw that the other party's teeth were clenched, and his face was covered with beads of sweat, "I thought you would shout out, but I didn't expect you to be quite strong." ”

He joked as he took out a small brown bottle from his arms: "This is the master's special bone-setting wine, and within two hours after applying it, your little injury will be almost healed." ”

He pulled out the cork and was about to apply it, but as if he thought of something, he closed the cork again, and then threw the vial to the young master: "Forget it, you better apply it yourself, and the province said that the master took advantage of you." ”

"You're not bad as a thief!" The young master took the vial, she uncorked the bottle and applied it to herself, "By the way, you mentioned Lord Chen last night, what about others?" ”

"Dead."

"What?"

Jiang Lan looked at the young master with a stunned face, and said lightly, "However, it wasn't me who killed him, it was his own bad life that fell off the carriage and died." ”

Without waiting for the young master to say anything, Jiang Lan raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Wait a minute, you're better, just go in this direction, and you can see the official road after walking for half an hour." Not far to the east of the official road, there is an official post station. Master, I helped you once today with kindness, but I have other important things on my body, and it is inconvenient to send the Buddha to the West. Say goodbye! ”

Jiang Lan said, turned around and left. At this time, he was also full of question marks, and since the other party was already safe, he naturally wouldn't care anymore.

The situation in Yujialing was unknown, and the conversation of those ghost-faced people shocked him even more. He kept thinking about whether to go to Yujialing to see the situation.

He had just walked out a dozen steps, but he heard a muffled snort from the young master behind him. Looking back, I saw that she was holding on to the tree and trying to stand up.

"Are you stupid? Your legs aren't good yet, and you can't move yet! ”

The young master ignored Jiang Lan, reluctantly stood up, and just as he was about to lift his leg and move, he felt a sharp pain in his calf, and then he stumbled to the ground.

"I'm really convinced!" Seeing this, Jiang Lan returned to the young master's side, "Say, where are you going?" The master carried you over. ”

"You?" The young master was a little surprised, the man in black in front of him was obviously in the same group as those who intercepted and killed him last night, but now the other party helped him again and again. She looked at her legs, and although she didn't want to, she could only rely on the other party for now.

"Take me to Master Chen." She had a cold face, and she couldn't tell whether she was shy or embarrassed.

Jiang Lan didn't say much, he directly picked up the young master, and then the wind was under his feet, and he walked through the forest quickly. The young master who watched this scene was very surprised, although he was not sinking, but he could run so fast with a big living person on his back, it can be seen that the other party is very good in terms of physical strength and light skills.

Jiang Lan galloped with all his might, and arrived at the position of the carriage at the time of a meal.

At this time, the carriage was still turning over on the path, and there was no trace of the ghost-faced man. After confirming that everything was safe, Jiang Lan jumped down from the tree with the young master on his back.

"I'm better, you can let me down."

At this time, the young master's voice was much softer. Jiang Lan heard this and put it down, and as soon as her feet hit the ground, she snorted, but she didn't fall down like just now. She walked slowly, toward the carriage.

"Uncle Chen!"

As soon as she saw Chen Zhongming's corpse, she couldn't help but exclaim, and then moved over quickly.

"Little girl, people can't be resurrected after death, you are still ...... What are you doing. Jiang Lan followed behind and was speaking comfortingly, but saw that the other party suddenly pulled out the soft sword at his waist and pointed it at himself.

"You thief! And said that Lord Chen was not killed by you? She held a sword in one hand to force Jiang Lan back, and pointed to Chen Zhongming's corpse with the other, only to see that there was a knife wound on the corpse's chest.

Worst! Last night, the ghost-faced man made up for it, and he forgot about it!

Jiang Lan was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to explain all this to her. While he was struggling, he found a few dark shadows wriggling at the end of the path.

"Your official family is here."

Hearing this, the young master looked suspiciously at Jiang Lan's gaze, only to see a figure flickering in the distance, and a group of uniformed officials were rushing here.

When she turned around again, she found that the man in black had disappeared, and at the same time, a sentence echoed leisurely in the woods: "I didn't kill the person, we were all calculated!" ”

……

On the side of the main road in Yujialing, Jiang Lan hid in a big tree as he did last night, quietly observing everything below.

At this time, Yu Jialing had already been surrounded by officials and missions, and they were counting the corpses on the ground.

"My lord, the inventory has been completed, there are a total of one hundred and eighty-nine corpses, except for Lord Chen's guards, the other corpses are all assassins." A messenger reported to the chief officer who had come to investigate.

"Hmm." The chief officer carried a pen and wrote something in the book in his hand.

After a while, he stopped his pen and raised his head, his face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans - the second-rank member of the imperial court had an accident in his own jurisdiction, and such a sin was not enough to cut off ten more heads!

"Is there any news from the people who went to track down the road?"

"Not yet, sir."

"Quick, you also take a few people, track down along the road, and be sure to find Lord Chen's whereabouts!"

The officer's face was full of anxiety, and he shouted orders to the messenger.

Seeing this, the messenger did not dare to slack off, and he turned around to lead someone to investigate, but saw a figure flickering on the east road. The figure quickly ran closer. Before the others arrived, they hurriedly shouted to the commander, "Your Excellency...... Chen, Lord Chen...... He, he's dead! ”

Hearing this, the chief officer sat on the ground with a "bang". This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and it almost killed him directly. The messengers on the side hurriedly came up to help, but they were all pushed away.

"It's over...... It's completely over! The life of this official has come to an end......"
