The river is babbling and flowing, and the birds in the forest are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

The fragrance of the incense forest comes with the wind, refreshing the heart, and it is indeed a good place to make people feel refreshed.

Jiang Ran sat on the stool and let Ye Jingshuang lean on his shoulder.

Staring at the river, there is a lot of confusion in my heart.

I'm afraid that this old man's identity is not an ordinary person even in the Demon Sect.

Such a person, who came in person, just to send a token to the young owner?

That's impossible......

However, what his real purpose is, he does not say.

But Jiang Ran always had a strange feeling, as if he was here for himself?

This idea may be a bit self-inflicted, but it may be there.

It's just that the reason is because of the old drunkard, or because of himself...... That's hard to say.

And, what did he mean by that last sentence?

"Don't let down the painstaking suffering?

"Whose painstaking efforts? How to suffer? ”

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand, and suddenly remembered that there was still an important question that he hadn't asked.

The Blood Ding True Scripture is useless to himself, does it have anything to do with Tang poetry?

After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again:

"I guess he won't say ...... if I asked"

And the biggest gain of this trip is the news of this old drunkard.

The old drunkard is now in Jinyang Mansion......

It reminded Jiang Ran of Tong Wanli's words.

He said that the abandoned Tianyue is now also in Jinyang Mansion.

Heavenly Que and the Demon Sect do not deal with each other.

At least, judging by what is happening today, it is.

Outside Cangzhou Mansion, the people of the Demon Sect killed all the cloud masters in the sky.

After the people in the sky came to Cangzhou Mansion, they seemed to be scheming about the Tang family and the Demon Sect.

Therefore, they did not dare to make a big fanfare.

Knowing what they have to do, Tong Wanli will become an obstacle.

did not kill him directly, but went around in a circle and shifted Tong Wanli's position.

Is this to avoid being discovered by the Tang family?

Although this is all just a guess, it is not necessarily unreasonable.

If these two come true, considering the inextricable relationship between the old drunkard and the Demon Sect.

He would go to Jinyang Mansion, and suddenly it became reasonable.

"Do they want to unite in one place and fight to the death with the heavens?"

After Jiang Ran's heart was filled with such a guess, he sighed lightly and thought to himself:

"It seems that Jinyang Mansion can't help but go......

"Not to mention the whereabouts of the old drunkard, just abandoning Tianyue in Jinyang Mansion, I have to go there.

"Forty thousand taels of gold!

"Maybe if I kill him, I'll be able to live for a few more years......"

Just thinking of this, his shoulders moved slightly, and it was Ye Jingshuang who woke up.

Jiang Ran checked her just now and found that she was simply asleep.

In the past two days, she was exhausted, and she took advantage of this opportunity to sleep just in time, so she did not forcibly wake her up with her righteous fingers.

Ye Jingshuang shook his head slightly, and after coming back to his senses, he looked up at Jiang Ran and was slightly stunned:

"Brother Jiang...... Am I? ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, he had already hurriedly looked around:

"What about the remnants of the Demon Cult?"

"Gone."

Jiang Ran frowned slightly: "In an extremely strange way, he disappeared directly in front of me." ”

Hearing this, Ye Jingshuang breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good to be ...... gone"

glanced at Jiang Ran and found that his face was not very good-looking, so he comforted him softly:

"The methods of the Demon Cult have always been treacherous, and it's not your problem that you didn't keep him, it's just that their abilities are always elusive."

Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this:

Indeed, at that time, the Tang family disappeared overnight.

"Today, this old man is even more in front of me, as if he has dissipated......

"If there are no immortals and Buddhas in this world, it is a miraculous achievement that makes it difficult to guess.

"You can ask Li Tianxin when you go back."

Most of the reason why I can't break it is because I don't have enough knowledge.

Li Tianxin's background is unpredictable, and his understanding of the Demon Sect is extremely profound, maybe he will know something.

Ye Jingshuang nodded, but was suddenly stunned:

"The Tang family?"

Only then did I remember that Jiang Ran was separated from her at that time in order to go to the Tang family to save his master.

At that time, she thought that the Tang family would not be able to defeat Jiang Ran, and when they met again, they were afraid that they had already rescued his master.

He didn't ask much...... Now that I heard Jiang Ran say this, I realized that there were still twists and turns!

Listening to Jiang Ran's words, the Tang family is also a remnant of the Demon Sect?

Jiang Ran didn't hide it, so he told him about going to the Tang family like this.

Except for the Nine Deaths, other things are no longer detailed, and even the matter of Tang Shiqing was also said one by one.

Ye Jingshuang heard the words and changed color several times, and finally frowned, suppressed the strange appearance in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

This seems unconscionable.

"You said that Tang Yuanwai had been waiting for you outside the mansion for a long time, that is, he knew that you were coming.

"Moreover, he said that you are his son-in-law...... And your master mediated it.

"In this regard, it is not necessarily false.

"What Tang Shiqing did that night, is it too much?

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this family matter has been decided, sooner or later there will be that day, why be so impatient?"

"You forgot, I don't want to."

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly: "Who is inexplicable who wants to accept this family affair?" ”

Ye Jingshuang subconsciously hooked the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and nodded:

"That's right, if my father promised me a family affair without my consent, I wouldn't want to.

"However, Brother Jiang...... I still feel that the Tang family's approach doesn't seem to make sense.

"Even if you don't want to, you haven't torn your face with each other.

"And judging from the fact that they were originally sons-in-law and your master, it seems that they plan to have more contact with you for a while.

"Let you stay in the Tang family, so that Tang Shiqing can fall in love with you for a long time.

"It's very likely that this will happen until it actually falls out.

"After all, you are a man with strong blood and strength, and Tang poetry is beautiful.

"When you get along, your ears and temples are grinding, and you will inevitably have feelings.

"Besides, they don't want to pick the yang to supplement the yin, otherwise there is no need to go around in circles like this.

"Why are you in such a hurry that night?"

Speaking of this, she paused and glanced at Jiang Ran:

"And, can you be sure, you really ...... Really ......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't say any more, and bit her lip lightly:

"That's it...... You know what I'm going to say. ”

"I don't know."

Jiang Ran saw that her face was red, and she couldn't help but laugh: "What are you going to say?" ”

Ye Jingshuang's face was hot, and she felt that Jiang Ran was so smart on weekdays, how could she suddenly become stupid?

raised his eyebrows, and saw Jiang Ran's eyes playful, only then did he know how bad this person was.

couldn't help pinching Jiang Ran's arm:

"You...... Brother Jiang, if you say this, I won't pay attention to you. ”

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly, feeling that this joke was indeed a bit out of proportion.

A girl in another family, who is forced to be ashamed to tell herself about business, how can she be so flirtatious?

Immediately coughed and said:

"Actually, I don't know.

"It felt like something was going on.

"But looking back now, maybe nothing happened that night......

"If it's the former, it's easy to explain."

Ye Jingshuang will let go:

"She's just trying to figure out your body.

But if it's the latter, it's even more difficult to explain.

"And, even if it's the former...... Brother Jiang, why do you think she wants the body of a person she has never met? ”

"This ......"

Jiang Ran touched his face.

His face is indeed good-looking.

has a good skin, but if you want to say that there is no handsome in the sky, there is only one in the ground, so it will not be.

Tang Shiqing's appearance is really beautiful and indescribable.

What kind of man does such a woman want?

Why bother so much for yourself?

At the end he nodded slightly:

"So, you think that night, in fact, nothing happened to us?"

"No, I think something must have happened, but maybe not."

Ye Jingshuang said: "But the specific situation ...... I'm afraid I have to find Tang Shiqing, or the Tang family, to know. ”

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and nodded:

"In that case, let's look for it.

"I'm going to go to Jinyang Mansion on this trip, do you want to go with me?"

"Jinyang Mansion?"

Ye Jingshuang nodded: "This is naturally good, I have said it, wherever you go from now on, I will follow you to take care of you, and naturally I want to go with you." ”

"Well, before that, let's go back to your house.

"And you'll have to settle your uncle and cousin."

Jiang Ran thought as he stood up:

"After I have dealt with the heads I brought back from the Valley of the Dead, let's go."

"Okay."

Ye Jingshuang nodded, but when she looked in the direction of the Ye family again, there was a little more sadness in her eyes.

There was nothing left, and the two of them turned back the same way.

When I entered Benma County, I just arrived at the door of the inn and saw a board car in front of the door.

It was covered with a cloth, but it could be seen that there were blood stains seeping, and a group of people were standing on the side, pointing at the car.

Apparently curious about what's inside.

It's just that no one dares to step forward and make a move, because a group of gangsters who are not easy to mess with at first glance are surrounding them, blocking anyone who wants to come forward.

Jiang Ran's face darkened, and he glanced up in the direction of the inn.

A figure rushed out of the lobby.

"Jiang Daxia, are you back?"

It was Ma Ye who spoke, he trotted all the way, and the beard on his face flew in the wind.

After arriving in front of Jiang Ran, he saluted again and again.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingshuang.

Jiang Ran introduced Ye Jingshuang:

"This is Master Ma.

"I heard that in Benma County, you don't know who the county commander's surname is, but you can't help but know Ma Ye."

Ye Jingshuang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately hugged his fist:

"I've seen Master Ma."

Ma Ye hurriedly waved his hand:

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's a little one.

"Call me a pony, an old pony."

Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran with a strange expression, this land snake is actually the most difficult to deal with.

Not only are they capable of their own abilities, but most importantly, they are often inextricably linked to the local area.

But I don't know how Jiang Ran did it, and he cleaned up this person so obediently.

Ma Ye continued:

"Li Daxia, they have also returned, originally to live with me, and then the sick seedling...... No, it was the senior who wanted to rest at the inn, so we sent them here.

"Speaking of which, this time the opponent seems to be very extraordinary.

"When Li Daxia came back, he was covered in embarrassment, all mud."

It was mostly because of the rain and the road was slippery, and he fell when he was pushing the scooter, right?

Jiang Ran smiled: "This time the opponent is indeed not weak, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and threw it to Ma Ye:

"What's inside, you and those brothers of yours, one grain per person.

"Don't be greedy, or even I won't be able to save you."

When Ma Ye heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the bottle in his hand, as if he was holding on to his own life.

After opening it, I peeked at it, and four pills were placed inside, one was not much, and one was not much.

The heart says how can this be greedy?

But he didn't dare to complain, just blindly thanked him.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

"Okay, what should I do, I'll go to the county office again."

Ma Ye hurriedly ordered his subordinates to help push the cart.

Jiang Ran was unwilling, but he couldn't shirk Ma Ye's enthusiasm, so he agreed.

It's just that before I arrived at the county office, I met a group of officials.

It turned out that some people felt inappropriate and went to the yamen to report to the official.

A group of officials came to investigate the situation.

However, after seeing Jiang Ran, a government official recognized it, this was the one who came to the county government before, and was respectfully invited in by the county magistrate.

didn't dare to say much immediately, but asked a few words carefully, and after knowing that Jiang Ran was going to the county government, he simply opened the way.

This scene is a little bit amazing.

The head snake was escorted with the car, and the official was currently opening the way.

The black and white lines were both on his side, which instantly gave Jiang Ran a big face.

Ye Jingshuang couldn't cry or laugh, and sometimes glanced at Jiang Ran, and felt funny when he looked helplessly on his face.

In this way, the group came to the county government in a blink of an eye.

Ma Ye said goodbye and left, and the officials looked at the cart curiously, and wanted to open it several times, but they forcibly held back.

In the end, Jiang Ran reached out and pulled the white cloth away.

The heads of the people suddenly looked at the hearts of the officials present.

Jiang Ran took the knife capture order:

"Don't panic, these are all wanted.

"Please, help me get these heads in."

A group of officials, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Jiang Ran's eyes are different.

Although this person is dressed a little flamboyant, his face is handsome and his temperament is extraordinary.

It's just that it doesn't feel so strong.

How did you cut off so many heads without saying a word?

Together, there were twelve heads.

Immediately found six people, one of them carried tricks, and the queue entered the door.

As soon as I walked halfway, I saw that Perennial had already come out.

After seeing Jiang Ran, he immediately smiled:

"Jiang Shaoxia, are you leaving a way for our county government to live."

"Why did Master Chang say this?"

Jiang Ran blinked.

"There are too many heads, and I only have a few dollars in Benma County, don't you have to be hollowed out?"

"This ......"

Jiang Ran thought for a moment:

"Why don't you make a note, and I'll go to Lord Guo to ask for money?"

"You don't have to!"

Perennial hurriedly waved his hand, how could there be a reason for the lower official to open a slip and let the upper official pay?

immediately smiled and led Jiang Ran inside.

Jiang Ran is still saying:

"I didn't joke with the adults, you give me a note and count it as a voucher.

"Let Lord Guo transfer the silver taels from Cangzhou Mansion, so that you won't be tired of dealing with Benma County."

"Jiang Shaoxia has a heart."

Perennial bitter smile:

"I've managed to make it up, and that's enough.

"And, to tell you the truth, Lord Guo will no longer be the governor of Cangzhou Mansion."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran was stunned:

"It's only been a few days since he lost his official hat?"

"Not really."

Chang Nian smiled and said: "I only learned today that Lord Guo came to Cangzhou Mansion for another purpose. Now that the matter is done, the Holy Lord has ordered him to go to Kanglong Pass to serve as the chief soldier of Kanglong Pass. ”

"I see."

Jiang Ran was stunned, but just thinking about it, he felt that this thing was a little funny:

"He's jumping back and forth between civilian officials and military attachés, and no one cares about it?"

"This ...... I don't know. ”

I don't dare to talk nonsense if I know.

He is different from Jiang Ran, he has an official body.

Jiang Ran is clothed and has strong martial arts, so he naturally talks nonsense casually.

But the perennial mouth is crooked, and if it reaches the ears of any adult, maybe this county order will not be able to be done.

The two of them talked as they walked, and in a blink of an eye they came to the hall.

Jiang Ran gave a 1510 explanation of these heads all year round, as well as a reward.

Some of these county officials can still find sea fishing documents in the case files, but some of them can't be found.

However, Jiang Ran has the order to catch the knife in his hand, whether he can find it or not, now the money has to be given.

Even if his heart hurts all year round, he will wave his hand and let the officials go to withdraw the money.

In the end, only the heads of Dugu Yu and Yin Yue Niang were left in place.

Jiang Ran's face was full of embarrassment:

"I'll take these two heads later.

"Their identities are not simple, they just don't know how much the reward is, and I don't even know if there is one."

Perennial smile:

"I can solve Jiang Shaoxia's doubts......"

As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom:

"This is the ...... The Tao is nameless, let me give it to you. ”

"Nameless?"

Jiang Ran pursed his lips, and said in his heart, could this be another Spring Palace map?

Glancing at Ye Jingshuang next to him, he took it carefully.

I flipped through it, and before I could see the contents clearly, a letter fell out.

The envelope was wordless, and after a slight groan, Jiang Ran opened the letter.

After reading it at a glance and ten lines, he frowned slightly.

I picked up the booklet again, and when I opened it, it was full of dense small print.

He searched for a while, and finally found two names on one of the pages.

'Yangjun' Duguyu, 10,000 taels of silver.

'Moon Jun' Yin Yue Niang, reward 9,000 taels of silver.

At the same time, two prompts also popped up in front of Jiang Ran.

After Jiang Ran took the task casually, his fingers tapped lightly on the table.

This booklet is the 'wanted list' of the Sword Execution Division.

It lists the names of various masters who are not suitable for ordinary sea fishing documents.

Just looking at this list, Jiang Ran's heart suddenly felt a little strange.

Is it true that everyone on this list can be killed?

What if it is not a crime that is deserved, but offended the powerful, and is listed on it, and wants to be eradicated by the hand of the knife catcher?
