The old man walked slowly in front of the two, raised his hand and grabbed one of Jiang Lan's arms, held it up with one hand, and called his pulse with the other.

"Well, it's indeed a dementor incense......," the old man shook his head and muttered, "Although this dementor incense is strong, it also comes and goes quickly. In less than two sticks of incense, the two of you will be able to recover on your own. ”

"Hehe, these little masters know." Jiang Lan looked at the old man with a smile on his face, "Isn't it said that you, the old man, should be in the mountains to retire?" How can you run out...... Oops! Why are you beating the master......" Before he finished speaking, he received a big punch on the top of his head.

The old man glared at Jiang Lan and taught, "You rabbit cub who is neither big nor small!" Where did the etiquette taught you by Old Man Jiang go? Why do you still open your mouth 'master' and close your mouth 'master'? It's really three years of good learning and three days of bad learning! ”

"Hehe, isn't this for the convenience of messing around in the market......"

"Little rabbit cub ......" The old man glared at Jiang Lan, and then ignored him anymore, but moved his gaze to Liu Yinan's face, only to see that the little girl was looking at him intently.

"You are Jiang Lan's master...... So, you're the mad knife senior? Liu Yinan's eyes widened.

The old man nodded: "Yes, exactly." ”

"You are the number one mad sword in the world of martial arts?"

"What? Isn't the old man like that? ”

"Don't dare to ......" Liu Yinan knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly wanted to defend himself.

But Jiang Lan on the side said: "Don't scare her." ”

Hearing this, the old man looked at Jiang Lan, and then at Liu Yinan, the expression on his face became a little strange, and he said with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, you have forgotten the master when you have a good match?" ”

"Me and her...... Oh, you misunderstood......" Jiang Lan was embarrassed by the master's words, he glanced at Liu Yinan, but saw that this girl's face was also a little embarrassed, but she didn't mean to make a defense.

"You kid!" Crazy Knife stroked his beard with one hand and said with a smile, "You're not too young, it's time to talk about marriage." In my opinion, this girl is good, don't be in the midst of blessings and not know blessings. Don't be ...... like I did."

"Alright, alright." Jiang Lan interrupted impatiently, "I heard the old man's past so much that my ears were calloused...... However, Master, you didn't say why you came down the mountain just now, so you didn't miss me, so you came over to take a look, right? ”

"Little bunny! If you are allowed to run out of the wilderness without permission, you are not allowed to go out for a walk, old man? The mad knife glared at Jiang Lan, and then said lightly, "It's your stepfather......"

Jiang Lan saw that Master's face suddenly became a little solemn, and an ominous premonition came to his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law?" What happened to him? ”

"Alas......" Crazy Dao sighed, "Old man Jiang's health is not very good, you also know this...... He contracted a cold some time ago, and he hooked up the hidden diseases of the old days, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid time is running out......" His tone was calm, but it was difficult to hide the sadness and worry on his face.

Hearing the words of the crazy knife, Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment, and then stammered: "He, how can he ...... Me, when I left, he was fine...... How, how ......" his face was full of worry and shock, as well as a little self-reproach.

Although he knew that his father-in-law's illness was not caused by himself, his old man was seriously ill and he was not by his side, which was really worthy of being a son of man.

Liu Yinan on the side saw what Jiang Lan was thinking, and she said with relief: "Jiang Lan, don't worry too much. Maybe your stepfather is just thinking about you, or even thinking about you. Maybe as soon as I see you, the illness will be gone......"

Jiang Lan looked at Liu Yinan when he heard this, he also knew that this was just a word of relief from the other party, but his heart also warmed. He nodded and smiled reluctantly, "Hmm......"

He eased his emotions for a moment, then turned his head to look at the mad knife: "Master...... How long has he been sick? ”

"It's been a month...... He kept saying your name when he just fell ill last month. So I gave him some internal breath to protect his heart, and hired two people from the bottom of the mountain to help take care of him. After the arrangement, I will come down the mountain to you......

I guess that with the skills that Old Man Jiang and I have taught you, you will definitely be able to make some fame in the world. Sure enough, as soon as I inquired a little on the rivers and lakes, I heard that you had made a big fuss about Yanlai Villa before, and you had killed all sides in the Yinping Marquis Mansion. Later, when I heard that you had been appointed as the governor of Xiangyang City, I immediately hurried here.

I arrived here the day before yesterday, and when I first came, I saw that the old thief Tong Tiexi was following you, so I secretly followed him......"

Jiang Lan nodded, but he was a little afraid in his heart - if it weren't for the master coming this time, I'm afraid that he and Liu Yinan's lives would have to be explained here.

He looked at the mad knife and said with a solemn face: "Master, since my father-in-law is seriously ill, then without further ado, I will go back to the barracks to settle things down, and then I will go back to the mountain with you!" ”

Crazy Dao nodded in acquiescence, Jiang Lan looked at Liu Yinan again: "Second Miss, I need to leave the camp for a while......

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yinan nodded again and again: "You can go with confidence, I'll talk about my father's side." ”

"Thank you."

……

As soon as Jiang Lan and Liu Yinan recovered, they left the hill and rushed back to the camp.

He found Xiang Beichuan, told him about his affairs, and then explained to him some problems that needed attention in the camp. In fact, there are two things, one is the training in the military camp, including the monthly school martial arts exercises he set before. The second is to ask the Military Intelligence Department to keep an eye on the movements in Xiangyang City, and he instructed Xiang Beichuan not to act rashly before he returns, just keep an eye on it......

After explaining the affairs of the camp, Jiang Lan explained the little girl Wen Yuer to Xiang Beichuan. He originally thought that he would be sad to leave Wen Yu'er for a while, at least he would be sad at the meeting. But the result was very embarrassing for him - as soon as the little girl heard that he was leaving, she was immediately excited, and shouted: "Finally, I don't have to endorse it!" ”

Jiang Lan said: "You want to be beautiful!" Then he told Xiang Beichuan that he not only had to teach him some punches and kicks every day, but also asked her to read the books he should read!

Under Wen Yu'er's pouting and indignant gaze, Jiang Lan left the barracks by himself......

Great Liang Country, Northwest, on the main road.

Jiang Lan and Master galloped wildly. Liu Yinan also rode a fast horse and followed closely behind the two.

"Master, there's a tea shed in front, let's go to the front and rest for a while." Jiang Lan rode his horse and said to his master.

Crazy Knife frowned slightly: "What?" Why are you so tired at such a young age? We've been on the road for two days, and we've rested five times! ”

"You're not tired, the horses are tired! If I run for a while, I'm afraid that before I get to the place, the horse will run away. Besides......" Jiang Lan said as he turned his head to look at Liu Yinan, only to see that her brows were tightly knit and her face was a little pale.

Although Liu Yinan has also practiced martial arts since childhood, her physical strength is far from catching up with Jiang Lan and Crazy Dao, and the bumps for two consecutive days have already made her unbearable. Moreover, these two days also coincided with the most uncomfortable days of the month......

Madsword understood what the apprentice meant, so he nodded, and rode straight towards the tea shed.

"Phew—"

The three of them stopped and tied their horses to the edge of the tea shed.

Jiang Lan came to Liu Yinan's side and helped him off the horse.

"Are you alright?"

Liu Yinanqiang smiled and shook his head: "It's okay...... Just take a little rest. ”

"Whew! The master said that you don't want to follow, you don't! It's up to you to take it all the way. ”

"Shhhh Miss Ben is going to come along, what can you do? Liu Yinan said stubbornly.

Jiang Lan shook his head a little speechlessly: "You! It's just a hard mouth......" he said as he helped Liu Yinan into the tea shed.

In the tea shed, Crazy Knife had already found a clean table and sat down on his own. He instructed the young man to pour tea, and then looked at Jiang Lan and the others who came over with interest.

"Master, why do you think of us like this......

Crazy Dao chuckled: "It's okay, it's just that if the old man Jiang saw a girl who had just come down the mountain for two years, he would definitely be a lot more relieved......"

Master's words made Jiang Lan embarrassed again: "Oh, how many times do you want the master to explain to you, the two of us really don't have anything......"

"Stop, stop!" The mad knife interrupted Jiang Lan's defense, "You don't have to explain it to me, you just know it in your heart." As he spoke, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it in one gulp, "Alas, after drinking this tea for the teacher, you two young people will sit here to rest and chat." I'll go over there and move my muscles and bones......" said Madknife, put down the tea bowl and left, and walked away.

Jiang Lan shook his head and sighed: "My master, I'm like an old child all day long...... Don't you know, he and his father-in-law quarrel all day long in the mountains, like two old children who don't grow up......," he said to his father-in-law, and a little worry appeared on his face, "I don't know what the situation of my father-in-law is now." ”

"Don't worry, his old man will be fine." Liu Yinan said softly rarely.

Jiang Lan nodded.

Liu Yinan saw that Jiang Lan's mood was not very good, so she wanted to change the topic, she asked: "By the way, the old man of the crazy knife got his name because of his fierce knife technique, but why didn't he carry the knife with him?" And that day, he shot to kill Tong Tiexi, and he used small branches. ”

Jiang Lan glanced at the master in the distance, and his expression became a little complicated: "Master's knife has long been sealed. ”

"Sealed? Why is that? ”

"Master, he was hurt by love in his early years, and later he was disheartened and retired to the rivers and lakes. Even his old buddy, the long knife Shura, who became famous together, was sealed in an iron box, and iron juice was poured on the outside of the box. The box where the knife was hidden was in his room...... When I was studying art, my master made me a wooden knife in order to teach me. He himself took a branch of a tree at random......"

"That's no wonder...... Liu Yinan nodded, making a look of "I see", but Jiang Lan heard that her voice trembled slightly, as if she was enduring severe pain......

He looked at Liu Yinan and saw that her face had not eased much, she was still a little pale, and there were a few beads of sweat on her forehead. It's just because of her stubborn personality that she doesn't show how uncomfortable she is.

"Dude." Jiang Lan shouted, and a young man heard the voice.

"Master Ke, what do you command?"

"Go cook a big bowl of ginger brown sugar water and add some red dates."

The young man looked embarrassed when he heard this: "Master, this is just a small tea shed, don't you have those things?" ”

Jiang Lan didn't move, but casually took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it on the table.

At the sight of the broken silver, the young man's eyes lit up - who would have trouble with the silver? He immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The small ones will be arranged for the guest master. And he took the money in his hand, and went down and prepared it.

"Jiang Lan, ...... you" Liu Yinan looked at Jiang Lan with a complicated expression, grateful, moved, and a little embarrassed.

Jiang Lan took a sip of herbal tea: "Although the master is not a woman, he is not a fool either...... Let's rest for a while this time, and then we'll be on our way in half an hour. ”
