Chapter 8: Ambush
Jiang Ran inlaid the dragon-patterned snow jade in his hand on the groove next to the dark passage and silently waited for the stone table to open, after all, he was not a great power of qi and could use brute force to open the stone wall. With a rumbling sound, the stone table opened again, and then Jiang Ran and the others hurriedly walked out.
Jiang Ran and Dong'er set off from Jiangfu to come here in the afternoon, and then Jiang Ran and Dong'er went through the drunkard change again, and when they came out at this time, it was almost dark, and Beiyang City had a curfew at night and the city gate would be closed, although Jiang Ran could also enter the city due to his identity, but he was inevitably interrogated by the city defenders, not to mention that he also brought an unidentified drunkard.
The old drunkard followed Jiang Ran leisurely and was not in a hurry, he still took the wine jug in his hand to his mouth and slowly took a sip, seeing this scene, Jiang Ran couldn't help but be tempted.
"Old drunkard, if you can take me and Dong'er back to Beiyang City before dark, I will invite you to drink until dawn?"
The old drunkard licked his lips and seemed to be a little moved, but he still looked at Jiang Ran suspiciously, although he didn't speak, but the old drunkard's action was completely revealed: "You are dressed so shabby, you don't look like you can invite me to drink."
"Hey, drunk old man, what do you think of my young master? Young master, he is the young owner of the Jiang family in Beiyang City, not to mention inviting you to drink for a day, even if he invites you to drink every day, he will not frown his brows. ”
Seeing that this drunkard's IQ has been offline for so long, Dong'er can't help but flicker. Although Dong'er didn't know why the young master had to take this time bomb to the Jiang family, since this matter was determined by the young master, she must also help achieve it.
Really fool people, Dong'er, Jiang Ran sighed in his heart, but seeing the drunkard's slightly expectant eyes, Jiang Ran immediately said.
"Yes, if you can take me and Dong'er back to Beiyang City before dark, I am willing to swear as the young owner of my Jiang family, and I will definitely invite you to have a drink. ”
The Jiang family is a young owner, Jiang Ran obviously doesn't care about this identity.
I saw the old drunkard jump in front of a tree next to the official road, raised his hand and broke off a branch, kneaded the branch into a small wooden ball with one hand, and took the small wooden ball and stuffed it the wine jug, which was just blocked, and then the wine jug hung around his waist.
Jiang Ran and Dong'er who saw it in the distance couldn't help but be amazed, but before Jiang Ran and Dong'er were surprised, the old drunkard's body swelled and walked towards Jiang Ran and Dong'er.
The old man walked to Jiang Ran's side and didn't wait for Jiang Ran to resist, so he grabbed Jiang Ran's collar with one hand and lifted it up to Jiang Ran, and then walked to Dong'er's side like a cannon, and when the two of them were lifted, the old man ran straight to Beiyang City.
At this time, Jiang Ran and Dong'er felt that the scenery on both sides was falling backwards quickly, although the speed was extremely fast, but they did not feel the wind.
Obviously, it was because the old drunkard was afraid that the person he invited to drink would not be dissatisfied, so he blocked the wind.
Is this the strength of a strong person who transforms qi? Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.
The speed of the old man, who had been running for more than ten miles in a row, had been stable without a trace of fatigue, and at this speed, he would definitely be able to rush back to Beiyang City before dark.
At this time, there was a group of people outside the gate of Beiyang City, and this group of people sat in a circle as if they were waiting for something.
"Young Master Jiang, it's getting late, let's go home, if the master comes home and finds that you are not at home and confined if you are to blame."
A guard with a scar on his face said to Jiang Qi.
Hearing this, Jiang Qi's face was disfigured by the cold, not only did it darken by three points, Jiang Qi had been frequently deflated in the past two days, but he was also locked up by his father, Jiang Hang, the head of the Jiang family, but he was even more furious when he heard that Jiang Ran took Dong'er out of Beiyang City, and then Jiang Qi gathered some fox friends and dog friends who usually messed with Lao Gen and prepared to wait at the city gate for Jiang Ran and others to return to teach Jiang Ran a lesson.
It's a pity that when he left the Jiang Mansion, he was followed by the head of the Jiang family's guard, Lao Ba, who was the previous guard with a scar, and he was dissatisfied, and at this moment he heard Lao Ba's words, which directly ignited Jiang Qi's fuse that he wanted to explode, and then said angrily.
"When that old thing dies, don't you all listen to my dispatch, and now you know that you are afraid that the old guy will blame you, aren't you afraid that I will blame you in the future?"
According to normal times, even if Jiang Qi is angry, he can't say such a rebellious thing, but now he just wants to take revenge on Jiang Qi.
Hearing this, Lao Ba's first reaction was not anger but surprise, he didn't know why Jiang Qi, who had been cultivated by the Jiang family's heir qualifications, would say such a thing.
You must know that Jiang Qi's own brother is stronger than his elder brother in terms of cultivation talent and behavior, and the reason why Jiang Qi can have such rights in the Jiang family is because of Jiang Hang's preference.
And although he is the head of the guard, his actual status is close to that of the Jiang family, he once broke through to the transformation period a month ago, but Jiang Hang has the grace of knowing him after all, so he didn't make too much noise, just silently made a Jiang family secret chess.
When I help Jiang Hang finish that thing, it's time to resign, Lao Ba thought in his heart. Lao Ba, who had been immersed in his own thoughts, did not respond to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi was even more furious when he saw that Lao Ba, who was obviously his subordinate, ignored him, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask Lao Ba again, Cong Yuan suddenly saw a figure, and the figure ran in the direction of Beiyang City behind him at a very fast speed. Just when Jiang Qi felt that he was wrong, he found that the figure had already run to his side, and the figure was still carrying two people, Jiang Ran and Dong'er.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help but be very excited, hahaha Two little sluts, I have been locked up, you two don't stay at home well, but go out to wave, doesn't this provoke the existence that can't be provoked?
The more Jiang Qi thought about it, the more excited he became, because Jiang Qi himself was also a cultivator, so he naturally knew how powerful the aura needed to maintain such an amazing speed while carrying two people, but this person did not exude much spiritual power, obviously just looking at the physical body had reached such a level, thinking of this, Jiang Qi was not only even more excited.
Although Jiang Qi's body was attacked by Jiang Ran, which caused the cold qi to invade, he was still a cultivator in the early stage of qi gathering, and then hurriedly raised his qi and ran to the city gate to stop Jiang Ran and his party.
"This hero, I don't know what mistake my clan brother made to let you be caught and sent here?"
"I'm Jiang Qi, the son-in-law of the Beiyang Jiang family, if he has any fault, why don't we rectify the law on the spot and not make trouble in Beiyang City?"
Jiang Qi was originally invaded by the cold qi in his body, and forcibly lifted his luck to run to the city gate, which was already like the end of a strong crossbow, not only was the body invaded by the cold qi more serious, but the spiritual energy was also consumed.
However, Jiang Qi flattered the old drunkard as if he didn't feel it at all, because if it was to the point where the whole city knew about it, although Jiang Ran had no effect on the Jiang family, but the Jiang family would affect their own face if they left it alone, but if the Jiang family was an enemy of this strong man, it would hurt their muscles and bones.
As Jiang Qi thought, such a plan to kill three birds with one stone, on the one hand, not to make the strong ugly, on the other hand, not to make the Jiang family ugly, and the most important thing is that he can also sanction Jiang Ran, who has been slapping himself in the face, just when Jiang Qi is secretly satisfied and happy about his plan.
"Roll"
The old drunkard replied indifferently.
