Volume 1 Northwest Wind Chapter 37 The Death of a Beautiful Woman
Han Qixue slowly opened her eyes, and she found that the place she was in was dark and cold, as if she was in a cave somewhere.
She looked up at the entrance of the cave, and saw that it was already bright outside, and from time to time the sound of birds chirping came from outside. On the edge of the cave, Jiang Lan was leaning against the wall with his hands on his shoulders, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be asleep.
"I ...... Where am I? Han Qixue muttered, struggling to sit up at the same time. As soon as she got up, she felt a headache.
"Are you awake?" Jiang Lan opened his eyes, he looked at Han Qixue, and saw that he was sitting on the ground, covering his head with his hands, and the expression on his face looked very painful.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Lan stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay...... What ...... is this?"
"This is outside the Water Snake Ridge. You were poisoned last night, and now the poison has not healed, so let's lie down and rest first. Jiang Lan said, and was about to reach out to help Han Qixue lie down. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was pushed away by Han Qixue.
"Don't worry about it!" Han Qixue's headache eased a little. She remembered that the two of them came to this Water Snake Ridge last night to kill the blind Xu, "What about the blind man Xu, is he dead?" β
Jiang Lan shook his head.
"I remember! Xu is not dead...... It's all you! If it weren't for your nonsense, I would have taken revenge! Han Qixue glared at Jiang Lan viciously, her face full of anger and unwillingness, "Why do you want to save me?" I can't get revenge, so why don't you let me die directly? β
Jiang Lan was speechless when asked, he couldn't figure it out, why did he save people by himself and save them wrong?
However, if he failed to kill Xu Blind, he really has to blame him for being too hesitant.
"I'm sorry......" Jiang Lan knew that he was at a loss, and he couldn't refute it, so he had to apologize, "But don't worry, the young master will definitely kill the blind Xu for you!" ...... by all means."
Although Jiang Lan seems to be a fool, he rarely cares about anything when he speaks and acts. But as long as he has decided on something, he will definitely remember it.
Han Qixue stared at Jiang Lan's sincere and resolute face, wondering whether she should believe the other party's promise. She turned her head silently and remained silent.
β¦β¦
Two days later, Jiang Lan returned to the Cangcao Yamen in Yinping City.
In the past two days, his mood has been extremely chaotic!
First, it was out of guilt for Han Qixue. Second, it is because of his life experience - if according to what Xu Blind said, he is likely to be related to the royal family of the Great Liang Kingdom. But the father-in-law said that he was abandoned in the mountains. If it is really royal blood, then why was it abandoned in the mountains and forests? If not, then how can the coiling dragon gold pattern on this immortal lock be explained?
"Forget it, I don't want to! The more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes, let's go see Miss Xun'er. Jiang Lan thought so, and then rummaged through the cabinets and found a silk satin shirt. This shirt was bought by him for nearly one or two lines of silver when he first arrived in Yinping City!
Bathing, changing, and grooming.
The figure of more than eight feet long, with a white robe that is better than snow, a light blue satin underwear, and a snow-white silk ribbon. After the green silk on the top of the head is tied with a headband, a silver hairpin carved with a unicorn is inserted.
What a handsome boy!
Jiang Lan stinked in front of the mirror for a while before leaving to go out.
Just in case, he also put on a white gauze hat. He wrapped his long sword in brocade and carried it on his back.
Walking on the forest path covered with fragrant grass, Jiang Lan's mood was both excited and faintly expectant: before he came, he had already planned, and he would express his heart to Wen Xun'er today!
Passing through the birch forest, over the mound, and sparing the waterhole where the dream began, the small courtyard of the Wen family has appeared in the distant field of vision. The destination is approaching, but Jiang Lan is walking slower and slower.
All this is like lifting a curtain for him, and behind the curtain is the result of all this, whether it is good or bad, he must continue.
He was suddenly a little scared - what if Wen Laohan opposed him? Even if Wen Laohan agrees, does Miss Xun'er really have him in her heart? These questions were now in front of him, he had not thought about them before, but they were all haunted in his mind before he got closer.
Jiang Lan found a stone on the side of the road, sat down and began to ponder. Time passed little by little, and after thinking about it for about an hour, I finally made up my mind: since this step is going to be taken sooner or later, then leave nothing else!
After strengthening his convictions, he continued along the path. He kept telling himself that no matter what was on the other side of the road, he would accept it!
One step, two steps, the small courtyard is getting closer and closer.
When he walked about a hundred steps away from the door of the small courtyard, Jiang Lan suddenly smelled a familiar and terrifying smell, which he had smelled many times in the army - it was the smell of blood!
A hint of malice rose in his heart, and he hurried to the small courtyard.
In the courtyard, it was the scene that Jiang Lan didn't want to see - I saw that Old Man Wen was lying in the courtyard, with a huge blood hole in his chest, as if he had been stabbed through his chest, and the clothes around his chest were also soaked with blood.
"Old man Wen!" He hurriedly stepped forward, only to find that Wen Laohan had long since lost his breath.
"Not good!"
Jiang Lan hurriedly ran into the house again, and as soon as he entered the house, he was stunned. I saw that the house was in a mess, the furniture was twisted and crooked, and the bottles and cans were broken all over the floor. In the midst of the mess, there was a body lying quietly on the ground, motionless. The green silk that should have been tied up was spread out at this moment, and the fat powder on his face was also washed away by tears, and a dagger was inserted in his jade-like body, and a pair of jade hands held it tightly in the palm of his hand.
"Xun'er?" Jiang Lan couldn't believe what he saw. The person he was thinking about died like this?
"Miss Xun'er...... Xun'er ...... "Jiang Lan held the body in his arms, and his thumb caressed the face that appeared many times in his dream, and there was still residual warmth in the place where his fingers reached...... He didn't know what it was like to be separated from life and death before, but at the moment, his heart was like a knife.
"No matter who you are, you will be a ghost today!" A man, sobbing profusely, gritted his teeth and said this.
With tears in his eyes, he broke his hands and pulled out the dagger with all his strength.
"Miss Xun'er...... I'm going to avenge you now! β
Jiang Lan came to the courtyard and soon found a large series of footprints on the path, which were very miscellaneous, and it seemed that there were dozens of people. The destination of the footprints was the north of Yinping City, and he followed the footprints all the way.
After chasing for about half an hour, I found a large number of people in the distance. He didn't stop for the slightest, and hurried after him.
"The person in front, stop for the master!"
The group heard the shouts behind them and turned their heads. As soon as he turned around, he saw a young man in white standing on the path behind him with a long knife in his hand, his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried.
"Yo! Where did the little white face come from! Dressed like this, who are you going to mourn? "It was a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks who spoke. This person Jiang Lan had seen in the city before, and it was the evil slave of Fei Wen Xun'er. And the person standing next to him was also the young master Jin from before. It's just that at this time, there are more than forty more house slave guards beside them.
"The father and daughter of the Wen family, but you are the victim?" Jiang Lan ignored the man's vicious words, he held the knife in his right hand, stood the knife on the ground, and asked rhetorically.
"Wen family? Which writer? Isn't it the chick they just played? Yes? This time it was Young Master Jin who spoke, and with a lewd expression, he asked the entourage beside him, causing everyone to laugh.
"Good, good, good." Jiang Lan didn't laugh angrily, he said three good words in a row, and his eyes stared straight at Young Master Jin, staring at him until his scalp was numb.
"Look at what you see! Come on, dig out his pair of tricks for me! β
"Yes!"
Young Master Jin gave an order, and more than forty servants instantly surrounded him. At the same time, he also pulled out the saber on his waist, and the tips of the knives were facing Jiang Lan.
"You're looking for death!" He glanced at the crowd around him and said in a deep voice. As soon as the words came out, they attracted a burst of laughter.
"Boy, I think you're mistaken, this isn't the Yin Ping City. Even if I chop you up, no one will care! The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man separated the people in front of Jiang Lan, and slowly walked towards him, the yin and yang strange voice was disgusting.
"Chai Gui! What do you have to do with him, just kill him! Young Master Jin outside the crowd was a little impatient.
"Yes, yes! Master, the villain will do it! Chai Gui agreed, and reached out to pull out the knife.
"Wait! Before he starts, the master has one more thing to ask. β
"Heh, do you have anything else to ask?" Chai Gui sneered, "Okay, you ask!" Uncle, I'm in a good mood, let you be a ghost. β
"What the master wants to ask is," Jiang Lan glanced at the people around him, "Do you guys have anything to do with the death of the Wen family's father and daughter?" β
"Hahaha," Young Master Jin laughed loudly when he heard this, "Young Master, I have a good heart, I finished playing, and I didn't forget to make the minions feel refreshed." Minions, just say that you just played fun, are you happy? β
"Cool, young master."
"Young Master is such a good person!"
Listening to the gossip of the people around him, Jiang Lan's eyes gradually blurred, and a stream of heat flowed across his cheeks.
"Xun'er...... Sorry ......"
"What are you talking about! Uncle, I'll send you on your way! Chai Gui waved his knife as he spoke, and slashed down at Jiang Lan's Heavenly Spirit Gai.
"Ahh
With a scream, I saw Chai Gui's knife, together with the hand holding the knife, flying high, and the blood drew an arc in mid-air.
Everyone stared at Jiang Lan with a stunned expression, but saw that he was still in the same posture as just nowβholding a knife in his right hand and standing the knife on the ground. The only difference was that the entire black blade was now stained with blood.
Chai Gui held the broken arm with one hand and stared at Jiang Lan with a pale face. Everything happened too quickly - I saw a flash of sword in front of me, and my arm was cut off.
He was a little frightened in his heart, this little white-faced skill was very terrifying!
He clutched his severed arm, and at the same time withdrew backwards from the crowd, and ordered to everyone: "Kill him together, don't let him have a chance to fight back!" An order interrupted the momentary silence, and everyone recovered from their astonishment.
Hearing the order, two people immediately swung their knives at Jiang Lan, but when they saw him flash left and right, both knives fell into the air.
There was a person behind Jiang Lan, who wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack a knife, he just raised the knife, but suddenly a cold light flashed in front of him, and then he felt that he was flying higher and higher, and there was a headless person below, looking like his own ......
He's shot!
The seven-foot cold mang kept waving in his hand, and with each swing, one person would fall to the ground and die, but the forty or so house slaves couldn't get close to him at all, and for a while, flesh and blood flew sideways.
Outside the crowd, Young Master Jin and Chai Gui both looked at the scene like a Shura field with pale faces. Although the two bully men and women on weekdays, no one has ever seen such a bloody scene. Especially the young master Jin, cold sweat broke out on his face, and there was also a warm current in his crotch from top to bottom.
"Quick! Come home! Young Master Jin hurriedly fled with Chai Gui's fart.
But looking at the crowd, Jiang Lan's knife is fast and his body is faster. Some of the house slaves were frightened and turned to flee, but at some point a long knife appeared in his chest, and he turned his head to see only an expressionless face, and then a black ......
Since Chai Gui gave the order, it was just a stick of incense, and the house slaves who were still surrounding Jiang Lan just now had all turned into corpses at this moment.
"Huh...... Ha, hahaha...... Ahh
He also saw Young Master Jin and Chai Gui fleeing along the road just now, but they didn't chase them.
"Run, sir, see how far you can run...... Hehe......" Jiang Lan muttered frantically, "When you run back to the mansion, you tremble and think that you have escaped and are safe...... Master will go and let you experience again, what is despair! β
