Chapter Ninety-One: The Enemy Is Bright and I Are Dark
The Red Maple Leaf family is a chivalrous heirloom, and there is a good reputation on the rivers and lakes.
When Ye Jingshuang and Jiang Ran first met, they didn't know that he had deep internal skills, so he was just a passerby, and he was willing to protect each other with his life.
Although Shi Miao is cold, unapproachable, and does not understand the world.
But you can also implement the chivalrous in your heart and die without regrets.
Jiang Ran has heard of chivalry, but how many can really do it on the rivers and lakes?
It's just that Ye Jingshuang is such a person, and so is Shi Miao.
"What are you laughing at?"
Shi Miao's breath was even colder, as if he would slash Jiang Ran with a sword in his hand.
Jiang Ran shook his head, glanced at the sky and said:
"You listen to me first, restrain your internal breath, and we will follow them quietly.
"After figuring out where they are staying, we will discuss what to do next."
“……”
Shi Miao looked at Jiang Ran coldly, without the slightest expression on his face.
Just when Jiang Ran thought she wouldn't agree, she squeezed out another word from between her teeth:
"Okay."
The smile on the corner of Jiang Ran's mouth was a little more perfumery, and he felt that this woman seemed to be more interesting than he imagined.
The two of them talked and never stopped under their feet.
At this time, it sped up a few points, and was far behind the six people.
These six people are not moving fast now, and several of them were injured by Shi Miao.
Running all the way, I crossed the barrier in the woods, and after a short distance, I turned into a mountain col.
When Jiang Ran and Shi Miao walked nearby, they heard someone say:
"How did you get hurt like this?"
"Are there pursuers?"
"Nope."
"Well, quick, I'll heal you."
Hearing this, Shi Miao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he didn't rush out, but looked at Jiang Ran.
saw Jiang Ran's face calm, and even rolled his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Miao beamed into a line and sent the sound directly to Jiang Ran's ears.
Jiang Ran didn't know how to transmit the sound into the secret, so he said in a low voice:
"Therefore, there is a suspicion."
Shi Miao's face was calm, his breath was as cold as a sword, and his voice came again:
"Why are you so indistinct, what do you mean?"
Jiang Ran didn't speak, just motioned for her to wait a little.
After a while, another man was heard:
"The woman didn't chase her, let's go."
After saying this, after the mountain pass, six figures flashed out one after another, rushing in another direction.
Shi Miao's eyes widened slightly, he looked at the mountain col, and then looked at the direction in which the six people left, the chill on his body was even better, and the murderous intent in his eyes was stronger:
"What's going on?"
When Jiang Ran heard her ask, he suddenly had a hint of enlightenment.
The girl didn't seem to show any confusion, shock, anger, or the like.
Every time this kind of emotion came up, the chill on her body deepened.
Is this due to personality, or is it because of martial arts?
Jiang Ran said softly as he stepped up to follow:
"Just a few of them turned into the col and were making a show.
"Self-directed and self-acting, the purpose is to deceive you into whether you are following behind.
"If it were you, you would have shown up once you found a place where they gathered...... They lie in ambush behind the col, and you will fall under siege in the past. ”
Shi Miao listened, nodded slowly, and his eyes were filled with cold light:
"Despicable."
“……”
Jiang Ran felt that this was really ordinary.
They want to stay alive and they don't want to be followed.
You always have to use some methods to determine and rule it out...... Otherwise, is it because you are worried that you will not die fast enough?
After that, the two of them continued to follow, and after walking a short distance, they suddenly saw these six people open the formation, and looked behind them with bright eyes:
"I've been following for so long, I should be tired, come out!"
When Shi Miao heard this, he stretched out his hand and pressed the hilt of the sword to appear.
Jiang Ran pressed her wrist and told her not to move.
Shi Miao looked at Jiang Ran with an expressionless face.
Jiang Ran looked at Shi Miao and rolled his eyes.
And just as the two of them looked at each other, a voice came from there:
"Still not out yet? Do we have to ask you to do it?
"Just now, we were tempted to be spied on by you, but we have some ability, but now we still have to do a dying struggle?"
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums sounded as he spoke.
Shi Miao's brows frowned slightly, Jiang Ran was grabbing her wrist at this time, and clearly felt that the true qi in her body was intermittent for a moment.
Subconsciously cross the inner force of the Creation and Transformation Heart Sutra into it.
This internal force entered the body, and Shi Miao only felt that the original sluggish internal force suddenly became wishful.
couldn't help but look up at Jiang Ran, and for the first time there was 'doubt' in his eyes, instead of expressing his emotions with a chill.
Jiang Ran showed her inexplicably, so she could only raise her index finger and make a silent gesture.
At the same time, the sound of gongs and drums was heard again.
Shi Miao was not affected by this voice this time.
The doubts in his eyes gradually deepened.
In this way, after almost a quarter of an hour, the six men finally gave up.
Glancing at each other, someone spoke:
"It's true that there is no one, otherwise, even if we don't cheat out, the yin gong and the drum are not so easy to accept...... Let's go, let's meet the others first. ”
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time after all."
After a few people deliberated a little, they left.
Jiang Ran and Shi Miao followed behind them again.
It's just that although they seem to be determined in what they have just discussed, they are still not at ease.
Along the way, there was another suspicion and a bluff.
It's better than the last.
But what Jiang Ran didn't expect was that Shi Miao believed it every time.
In this woman's mind, there may be nothing else in her mind except the sword.
After nearly two hours, the group came to a bamboo forest.
Look around to make sure no one is there, and then set foot in it.
The strange thing is that this bamboo forest is not dense, and they only walked into it for two or three meters, and then they were gone.
Shi Miao still wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Jiang Ran again.
She seemed to be used to it, she just turned around and looked at Jiang Ran coldly, Jiang Ran now knew that this was not angry and angry, this was asking why she was pulling her.
"Something is wrong...... This bamboo should have just been planted. ”
Jiang Ran pointed to the dirt on the ground:
"The traces of soil renovation are obvious, and the bamboo leaves are still yellow, so I am not sure if I will survive after planting."
"What do you mean?"
Shi Miao didn't want to follow Jiang Ran's train of thought, it was very tiring.
Jiang Ran said softly:
"Someone planted a bamboo forest here......
"And the people who did this have something to do with the six people who just now.
"The six of them were invited by Zuo Dao Ling again, you say, who planted this forest?"
Shi Miao followed this line of thought, and suddenly became enlightened:
"Did we find the right one?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"Only Zuo Daozhuang has such a handiwork, and in a short period of time, a bamboo forest has been built here.
"Just a few of them went in just a few steps, and the figure had already disappeared, I thought that this bamboo forest was not so simple, there should be some kind of formation law running in it.
"You'd better not rush in."
Shi Miao glanced at Jiang Ran and shook his head slightly: "It's just a formation, it's not commendable." ”
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"You're proficient in this?"
Shi Miao shook his head slightly:
"Why be proficient? It's all slashed! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to draw his sword.
Jiang Ran's face darkened, and he knew that this well-developed and simple-minded loser could not be proficient in such a thing as a formation.
Giving a sword in case of indecision is her style.
Immediately exhaled softly:
"Don't be impatient, don't you make a rash move, won't the good situation of the enemy and me be shattered?"
"So what to do?"
Shi Miao didn't exud a chill this time just because Jiang Ran stopped her.
It seemed that Jiang Ran had long expected that she would not let her do this, and her mood was very stable.
Jiang Ran said softly:
"Let's get out of here...... Don't be noticed. ”
"Okay."
Shi Miao agreed, anyway, she already knew where the place was, and if there was any problem, she would just kill her.
Now, as Jiang Ran said, the situation in which the enemy is dark and we are clear has been reversed.
You don't have to be so anxious.
However, although Jiang Ran said to leave, he did not leave in a hurry.
Instead, he led Shi Miao and circled around the forest from afar.
In the process, many hidden sentry posts were even discovered.
This can be regarded as a complete certainty, this is indeed the gathering place of Zuo Daozhuang's group of people.
After confirming the matter, the two of them turned back to Benma County.
Along the way, Jiang Ran didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shi Miao glanced at Jiang Ran from time to time, and had the heart to speak, but stopped.
It wasn't until he was about to step into Benma County that Jiang Ran said:
"Miss Shi, there is something to ask for below."
Shi Miao glanced back at Jiang Ran, raised his willow eyebrows lightly, and said expressionlessly:
"You say."
"Don't make a noise about this matter of Zuo Daozhuang."
Jiang Ran smiled: "Even if Miss Ye asks, don't say it." ”
"Why?"
The coldness on Shi Miao's face suddenly appeared.
It means that she has some doubts.
"I have a point."
Jiang Ran smiled: "I already have some calculations about this matter...... The girl should also know that Zuo Daozhuang has gathered a lot of people this time, and with a few of us alone, we may not be able to eliminate all the evil and not miss a single person.
"But if the girl is willing to listen to me, she can do it if she can't say it, and she will catch it all."
Shi Miao looked at Jiang Ran, and a chill rolled in his eyes:
"Really?"
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
"Okay."
Shi Miao didn't talk nonsense: "What am I going to do?" ”
"The girl is smart."
Jiang Ran grinned.
The chill on Shi Miao's body was a little deeper, and he always felt that Jiang Ran's four words were very harsh.
Just listen to Jiang Ran said:
"Now you will protect it all year round, as the Word has said.
"Today and tomorrow, if there are no more attacks, I expect them to come to the door."
"Coming to the door?"
Shi Miao raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded:
"They didn't actually want to kill Chang Nian, but they wanted to arrest him.
"Zuo Daozhuang's methods are strange, although I don't know much, but that night, Dao Wuming and Duguyu once said a sentence that impressed me deeply.
Dugu Yu said that the nameless face of the Dao was stolen from Zuo Daozhuang.
"Therefore, do you think it is possible that Zuo Daozhuang can easily change people's face?"
"Yes."
Shi Miao said calmly:
"Zuo Daozhuang has always had the ability to change the sky and the earth, and the methods are treacherous and strange.
"It's a simple face-changing technique."
"Therefore, if they want to grasp perennial, it is very likely that they want to use perennial face, or rather, what they want is the right of the county order.
"And so that they can do what they want to do."
Jiang Ran smiled:
And once they find out, it is not easy to catch perennial, because perennial is protected by masters, once things get bigger, not only will it be difficult for them to do so, but there is even a risk of coveting.
"So what will they do?"
Shi Miao looked at Jiang Ran silently, with a faint chill in his clear eyes.
"Since it is difficult to do it by force, then we can only talk about it.
"It's really time to tear your face, it's not too late to make a move."
Shi Miao nodded:
"And then?"
"If you can really talk about it, then let perennial promise them."
“…… Why? ”
"It's a little tricky to explain now, and I'll tell you the truth later.
"Also, if they come, remember to inform me.
"Lest they have murderous intentions and behead you together."
What Jiang Ran didn't tell Shi Miao was that Master Liu had told him at that time that after the old drunkard stopped in Benma County, he set off in the northwest direction.
However, it is only one direction, and it is difficult for a strong man to track it down, and the difference is thousands of miles, and the result is the opposite direction.
And the people of Zuo Daozhuang have great powers, and what Master Liu can find, they may not be able to find.
Then they stayed in Galloping Horse Town, and they went to such great lengths, there should be other reasons, otherwise it would not explain their great trouble.
If the old drunkard and the 'old monster' are really the same person, then it may be possible to figure out the true purpose of the old drunkard through them.
This results in better tracking.
Shi Miao's eyebrows were like swords, and he looked up at Jiang Ran, as if he wanted to turn his eyes into sword intent, so that Jiang Ran could see and see greatly.
Jiang Ran turned a blind eye to this and waved his hand:
"Listen to me first, and if my plan doesn't work, I'll do what you want in the end.
"I'll break into that bamboo forest with you and turn him upside down."
Hearing Jiang Ran say this, Shi Miao's cold face suddenly looked a little better:
"It's a deal."
"Okay."
The two of them discussed here for the time being, and then entered Benma County, and then the soldiers divided into two ways.
Shi Miao went to the county government to find perennial years, since she received the nameless instruction of the Tao, she naturally has a way to prove her identity.
Jiang Ran returned to the inn.
It took a lot of effort to come and go.
When you go out in the morning, it's already noon.
Jiang Ran rushed to the inn and saw Tong Wanli sitting in the lobby drinking.
Attracted by Jiang Ran's footsteps, he glanced back and immediately grinned:
"Jiang Shaoxia."
"Tong senior."
Jiang Ran hugged his fists and came to him:
"Why is it that one person drinks here alone? Could it be Liu Wenshan......"
"The young man misunderstood."
Tong Wanli poured a bowl of wine and sighed:
"This time the matter is thanks to Jiang Shaoxia, after giving Liu Wenshan medicine according to your instructions during the day, his injuries have stabilized.
"Now that Frost and Mingyue are taking care of her, it's only a matter of time before you wake up.
"It's just that when the old man thinks of Brother Ye and the Ye family, his heart is difficult."
At this point, he paused:
"Jingshuang should have told you that my Tong family and the Ye family are world friends.
"Brother Ye and I also grew up together.
"The frost brought this bad news, and the old man's heart ...... Heart...... Hey, he was partial but didn't dare to show it in front of the frost.
"This child is in a great trouble, and her heart is far more sorrowful than mine, and if I lose my posture in front of her, she may not know what will become of her sadness.
"I, as an elder, really feel sorry for her."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"What the predecessors said is that when something happened to the Ye family, the saddest and sadest thing was Miss Ye."
"So, Jiang Shaoxia ......"
Tong Wanli said this and looked at Jiang Ran:
"I can see that the frost is different to you than to others.
"In the future, can I ask you to take care of one or two more?"
"Senior, where are you talking about this?"
Jiang Ran said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with Miss Ye, and she is my ......."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, didn't say the next half of the sentence 'The Medicine Primer of the Life-Extending Pill', and after a pause, he smiled:
"Naturally, I will take good care of her and will not let anyone hurt her in the slightest."
Tong Wanli seemed to be stunned for a moment, but this flute flashed by, and then nodded again and again:
"Okay, well, with your words, I'm relieved.
"Come, Jiang Shaoxia has a drink with me."
Jiang Ran nodded, opened a wine bowl, poured a bowl of wine, and drank it with Tong Wanli.
When the wine enters the mouth, the speech is naturally let go.
The sky is beautiful and the sea is north, and the sky and the earth are idle.
After drinking for half an hour, Tong Wanli heard a voice from the upstairs guest room, it was Ye Jingshuang coming out of Liu Wenshan's room.
Looking at Jiang Ran again, his eyes were already blurred, and he couldn't speak.
Tong Wanli hurriedly spoke:
"Shocking frost, come here, Jiang Shaoxia has drunk too much."
"Huh?"
Ye was stunned for a moment, came to the handrail and went to the next look, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Ran in a daze.
Only then did he hurriedly go upstairs and down and walked to Jiang Ran:
"Childe?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Ye Jingshuang with confused eyes, and said with a smile:
"What a pretty girl......"
"Childe, you've drunk too much."
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Tong Wanli with some complaints:
"Uncle Tong, why did you pour him so much wine?"
"This ......"
Tong Wanli smiled innocently: "This, as soon as I was talking, I drank two more glasses." Don't complain about the frost...... With that, I sent him back to the guest room. ”
"I'll do it."
Ye Jingshuang didn't wait for Tong Wanli to handle it, and she had already helped Jiang Ran to walk upstairs.
When passing by Tong Wanli, he also instructed:
"Uncle Tong, you should drink less than two cups, and drink too much to hurt your body."
"Good, good."
Tong Wanli nodded again and again, and the smile on his face retracted when he saw Ye Jingshuang send Jiang Ran upstairs.
Sighing softly:
"Yan'er, Yan'er, Dad, for you, I don't want an old face.
"You're going to have to fight."
With a creak, Ye Jingshuang carried Jiang Ran into the guest room.
Before he could move forward, he felt that the person he was holding on, who had a body that seemed to have no bones, suddenly stood up straight.
Subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and saw that Jiang Ran was also looking at him.
Looking at each other, where is there still half a blur in Jiang Ran's eyes?
"Aren't you drunk?"
Ye Jingshuang was surprised.
Jiang Ran smiled and closed the door casually:
"I grew up in a wine vat, how can a few bowls of wine make me drunk?"
Ye Jingshuang was stunned:
"And why are you?"
"Because of you, Uncle Tong, he just drugged me in the wine."
Jiang Ran had a strange expression, beckoned to Ye Jingshuang, and whispered two words in her ear.
Ye Jingshuang was shocked for a while, her face was red, ashamed, shocked, and angry:
"How can this be true? He, why did he do it? ”
