Chapter 13: The Assassins
"Young Master, are you awake?"
Dong'er felt Jiang Ran get up from the bed, and immediately ended her cultivation state, and greeted Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran didn't answer Dong'er's words, just silently watched Dong'er slowly feel Dong'er's spiritual power, and Jiang Ran asked after a while
"Dong'er, your strength seems to have improved a lot?"
Dong'er smiled and replied proudly, not noticing what Jiang Ran's eyes were looking at at this time.
"I guess it's about the same as the spiritual power enshrined in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, about the late stage of Qi gathering. ”
Then he added, as if he had thought of something.
"But I shouldn't be able to beat him, after all, I haven't learned the skills of fighting, but I can still fight ten or eight bastards like Jiang Qi."
"Mm-hmm, my Dong'er is amazing"
Jiang Ran observed Dong'er's pride again and again, and Dong'er couldn't help but run away shyly when he found Jiang Ran's gaze.
Although Jiang Ran was surprised that Dong'er's cultivation speed was so fast, he thought that Dong'er had cultivated to gather qi in the time of only a few incense sticks in the underground stone chamber before, and now it was another night of penance, even if he had reached the late stage of gathering qi, it was reasonable to think about it, and then he thought that the aura he cultivated could not be absorbed, and he couldn't help but feel depressed, and after a while, Jiang Ran cheered up, after all, today is the day to decide his fate, if he can't live, then everything is in vain.
Jiang Ran got up and walked to the table, and found that the Exciting Spirit Pill that should have been placed there had disappeared without a trace at the moment, Jiang Ran secretly felt in his heart, since the bait had been put down, then he would wait for the fish to take the bait. Just as Jiang Ran was about to take Dong'er out of the room, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Jiang Ran opened the door and found a waiter standing outside the door.
"Last night, another old man had something to hand over to you, but he told me not to affect Jiang Shao's good deeds in the middle of the night, so I came early in the morning."
The waiter handed over the things to Jiang Ran as he spoke, a bag of gold coins and a small porcelain bottle.
Jiang Ran casually took out a gold coin from the gold coin bag and rewarded the waiter, and asked casually
"Did the old man ask you to bring anything?"
He said.
Before he could finish speaking, a short blade popped out of the waiter's sleeve, and he held the short blade in his hand and stabbed the aura towards Jiang Ran's neck.
With the strength of the waiter's early stage of gathering qi, it is impossible to sneak attack an ordinary person who has not gathered qi at such a close distance, no matter how he thinks about it, but Jiang Ran took half a step back as if he knew it in advance, but even so, the short blade in the waiter's hand still scratched Jiang Ran's neck, but it was just that, Dong'er directly kicked the short blade into the wall with a beautiful high kick, and then reflexively rotated a top-to-bottom split leg to knock the waiter to the ground.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, even the strong person in the late stage of gathering qi could not move in front of him so quickly, you must know that the door is also seven or eight meters away from the middle of the house. Unless she also knew in advance that she was going to do it?
At this time, the waiter had been subdued by Dong'er, and he could only stare at Jiang Ran fiercely with his eyes, and asked unwillingly.
"Why, why do you all seem to know in advance?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the service indifferently and explained "kindly".
"First of all, my expression didn't fluctuate when I gave you the gold coins"
The waiter said excitedly.
"Even so, there are quite a few times I receive tips from guests in a post station of this size, and the waiter also has a certain level of literacy and will not show too greedy expressions, just because of this why you know me"
Without waiting for the waiter to finish speaking, Jiang Ran said directly.
"However, I didn't let the old drunkard talk to me at all, with his character, there is a high probability that he will not do superfluous things, and if you don't know anything, the first reaction of a normal person is to think about whether you have forgotten it, you don't even think about it and answer directly"
"You also say it's a high probability, most, but what if it's just a coincidence?"
The waiter asked.
"The most important thing is that Dong'er and I live in the Beiyang Post Station, the official post of Beiyang City, do you guess it has anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion?"
"We just offended the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, oh no, it was the City Lord's Mansion that offended us, but since they didn't send someone to apologize, they naturally regarded us as enemies."
"Why do you think I played with Dong'er last night, and finally let Dong'er meditate and practice for a night? Not to mention that this bed is so big, even if it is a smaller bed, we can sleep together!"
"Do you guess that I am facing the hostility of the City Lord's Mansion in the territory of the City Lord's Mansion, and in such a state of mind, there is another waiter who has two coincidences in a row, do you think it is possible?"
In the face of Jiang Ran's words like a cannon, the waiter couldn't help but fall into deep thought, yes, if this is the case, he shouldn't feel that it is just a coincidence, and even if he makes a mistake, what is the loss of just retreating? In the face of such an enemy, no wonder the assassination he was proud of would fail, he couldn't help but say in despair.
"I didn't expect you to calculate everything, so I am convinced that Yang Shan will lose, but if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, it is impossible for me to sell my own power"
Before the words fell, Yang Shan knew that he had already said that he would not make such a low-level mistake in normal times, but at this moment, Yang Shan had been hit by Jiang Ran to the point that he had no confidence and IQ and went offline.
"Then what is the calculation and the last resort, the wise man has a thousand worries, and there is still a mistake, not to mention where am I to be a wise man?"
"There are two things I didn't count"
"The first thing is that I really didn't expect you to be a cultivator, you don't have any cultivator's power at all, the aura is easy to hide, but the power of the strong qi gathering can't be hidden, I really felt like I was going to die at that time"
"The second thing is that I didn't expect my cute Dong'er to think of what I thought"
"I didn't think of it all, I didn't think of it all, young master, you took the lead first, and I only thought of it when I was meditating and cultivating."
Dong'er replied embarrassedly.
Originally, in the face of Jiang Ran's IQ blow, although Yang Shan felt frustrated, but in fact, he was okay in his heart, Yang Shan thought to himself, although Jiang Ran said that he was not a wise man in order to pretend to be a wise man, but seeing that he was uncultivated, he was obviously a person who ate by his mind, but Dong'er actually crushed himself with both IQ and force, and Dong'er's appearance was still so young that he couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt.
"You've asked me so many questions, I'm not asking you two too much, right?"
Jiang Ran asked at Yang Shan.
"As long as I don't take the initiative to leak my employer's information, I can ask about anything else. ”
Yang Shan replied dumbly.
"In that case, I want you to hide your power and spiritual power."
