Chapter 112: The Inn
Since the sword division came out of the yamen, Jiang Ran felt a little awkward.
This trip made him feel a little indescribable about the Si Yamen in between.
If you have to say something disgusting, it won't be.
But I always have a little more scruples in my heart.
"Every knife catcher with a knife catcher will be followed by a person like a green fox.
"It's not always around, but it still makes people feel awkward.
"Are you worried that this knife will not work?"
Jiang Ran shook his head, his purpose was actually very simple.
Through the sea fishing documents issued by the imperial court, he took people's lives.
In the process, make more money, and one day he can live to the end of his life, and after washing his hands in the golden basin, he can also make his life a little better.
Why did the imperial court set up the Sword Division, and why did the Sword Division Yamen toss so secretly.
Jiang Ran didn't want to take care of it, and he couldn't take care of it.
In the final analysis, he is just a cloth cloth, and the court is too far away to have anything to do with him.
As long as it doesn't exceed his bottom line, just let them go.
But if he let this green fox follow behind him, even if it is not close, it will make Jiang Ran feel controlled by others.
I'm even more worried that subtly, I inadvertently did something I didn't want to do.
Then the situation will be very troublesome.
Therefore, Jiang Ran refused very simply.
When he walked out of the narrow alley and came to the crowded street of Cangzhou Mansion, these things were temporarily forgotten by him.
Walking along the street, Jiang Ran still went back to the inn first.
Collect the rewards you get from the two monarchs of the sun.
Needless to say, he is used to it now.
It's worth mentioning the Cold Moon Law.
This is a superior martial art.
As Jiang Ran's mind moved, a vast heart suddenly flowed in his heart.
Just like the Great Brahma Vajra Jue, as the cold moon true qi was born from the dantian, every point that was sent out was swept away by the Creation and Transformation Righteous Heart Sutra.
This time, Jiang Ran had enough experience than the last time, so he gave himself a righteous finger first.
After that, it assists in the creation of the Zhengxin Sutra to digest the true qi of the cold moon.
This time the time was much less than the last time, and after an hour and a half, Jiang Ran had already opened his eyes and slowly fell on the bed from mid-air.
He spread out his palm, and a touch of cold air naturally appeared, followed by condensation into ice nails, undulating and jumping on his palm.
"Cold Moon Nail ......"
Jiang Ran shook his hand casually, and the ice nails collapsed, but his heart sighed.
Now that he has the entire Cold Moon Law, Jiang Ran naturally knows a lot about the Cold Moon Nail.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Ran knew that this Cold Moon Nail should not be underestimated.
This nail is condensed with the true qi of the cold moon, and it is wrapped in cold poison, once hit, the opponent will not only be in unbearable pain where it is breached, but also will have cold poison into the body.
If there is no master to help expel him, even if he seems to run, it will only delay his death.
Now, Jiang Ran is not driven by the true qi of the cold moon, but with the Creation of the Righteous Heart Sutra, fused with the cold qi of the Cold Moon Great Law, and the cold moon nail created has more of a 'like infinite' essence in it, and the power surges.
"It can be said that it is a more vicious martial art."
Jiang Ran gave an evaluation in his heart.
And in the Cold Moon Great Law, there is not only the Cold Moon Nail.
In addition to this, there is also a grappling technique called [Cold Moon Opera], as well as a set of methods of [Condensing Water into Ice].
The latter, in particular, is extremely malleable.
It's just that you need water to be able to do it.
Otherwise, you have to be like Yin Yue Niang, using your own blood as a guide, and it is also feasible to coagulate blood into ice.
Finally, it is a move in the internal strength [Cold Moon in the Sky], which stimulates the internal force of the whole body, jumps into the air, is shaped like a cold moon, and hammers down.
According to the secret book, it is 'the air is like boiling, and the ice burns the eight desolations'.
As for whether this is an exaggeration, it is a matter of opinion.
Jiang Ran felt that the Great Brahma Vajra Technique, which was accommodated by the Creation Righteous Heart Sutra, and the Cold Moon Great Method, seemed to be able to be connected in series through the Creation Righteous Heart Sutra.
It's just that after he tried a knife, he found that it was not as easy as he imagined.
After all, these two martial arts are very different, there is no similarity, and only by threading the needle through the Righteous Heart Sutra of Creation and Transformation can there be the possibility of cohesion.
But this needs to be carefully tried and deduced, and not rushed.
Moreover, Jiang Ran pondered carefully, if these two martial arts were combined, when he performed the Great Brahma Vajra Technique, the King Kong, who was already wearing a Taoist robe, would carry a round of cold moon behind his back......
Isn't the art style a little weird?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ran didn't think about it anymore.
Instead, I went to Liu Wenshan to chat.
In the evening, Ye Jingshuang returned with Mingyue, and the two girls were very tired.
But the harvest is good.
There are a lot of favorite houses, both large and small.
The most expensive price is tens of thousands of taels, Jiang Ran glanced at it, Tang Mansion ......
This is indeed a big ...... One in and one in another, one yard after another.
The people of the Tang family went to the empty building overnight, and this huge mansion was taken back by the government.
It is estimated that Guo Chong is still at that time.
Now the price is also clearly marked and sold.
Jiang Ran thought for a while, this house was too big, and it was really impossible for two people to live, so he naturally skipped it.
It is estimated that even Ye Jingshuang did not intend to really let Jiang Ran take this house.
It's just a matter of informing him.
The others are some houses with more normal prices.
The more expensive ones are only a few hundred taels, and the cheapest ones can also be won by a few dozen taels.
It's just that this kind of one is not very suitable.
At least Jiang Ran didn't feel right.
Anyway, on the surface, this house was not given to Liu Wenshan, otherwise there would be no reason for Jiang Ran to pay.
If Jiang Ran were to buy his own property, with his current net worth, he would naturally not buy a small house that could be won for a few dozen taels of silver.
picked and chosen, and finally chose a decent three-entry courtyard.
The price is three hundred and fifty taels.
The courtyard is not too big, and the gateway to the three entrances is also because of the pattern.
Living for two people doesn't feel too empty.
In the front yard, in the atrium and in the back yard, there are four wings on the left and right, plus the ear room and the main room, there are really a lot of people who can live.
The more Jiang Ran looked at it, the more he felt that this yard was good, and after discussing it with Liu Wenshan, Liu Wenshan was not too entangled, so he nodded and agreed.
It's not early now, but it's not easy to do it, so I made an agreement with Ye Jingshuang to buy this house early tomorrow morning.
Everyone here has made a decision, and when they turn around, they find that Li Tianxin looks lost and dejected, and walks into the door of the inn.
Raising his eyes, his eyes were empty.
Jiang Ran was a little puzzled:
"What's the point? Does this painting still have the ability to eat people? ”
Ye Jingshuang was also a little surprised, and her brain began to suppress her fantasies.
What if a Zhihua has a bad idea?
Li Tianxin went out with him this time, could it be that something happened to him?
Could it be that there is a conspiracy in this?
Li Tianxin finally focused his eyes on Jiang Ran and his party at this time, and immediately rushed over, picked up Jiang Ran's wine bowl and dried it.
He let out a sigh of relief, as if he had just come to his senses.
After looking at Jiang Ran for a while, he stood up with a hula:
"I'm one step ahead! When you're done, come back to me. ”
"Huh?"
When Jiang Ran and the others were stunned, they saw that he had already hurried upstairs.
After a few moments, he came down again with his baggage.
After nodding to Jiang Ran and the others, he snatched the door and ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Only Jiang Ran and a few people were left looking at each other.
Liu Wenshan looked confused:
"What happened to this kid?"
"I don't think that sister is a bad person......"
Mingyue also whispered her opinion.
Ye Jingshuang and Jiang Ran glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
This gesture of running away from the wilderness is either taken advantage of by others, or it is taken advantage of others, and it is estimated that the third possibility cannot be picked left and right.
But looking at him like this, most of the time he didn't suffer any losses, so he didn't take it to heart.
In the remaining two days, Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang were not only busy with the house, but also looking for someone to arrange work for Liu Wenshan.
For this reason, Jiang Ran went to the Yamen of the Sword Command Division again to find Liu Zhangsi for help.
Liu took care of everything, which reassured Jiang Ran.
In fact, it is true, for him, some things are just a greeting.
Jiang Ran went to look for him in the morning, and things had already been arranged in the afternoon.
Let Liu Wenshan serve as a teacher in the government-run academy in Cangzhou Mansion.
That's the end of the matter.
Other than that, nothing happened during this period, and it was all peaceful.
That is, on the second day, Zhang Zhihua came to the door to look for Li Tianxin again, knowing that Li Tianxin had run away, and he was a little distracted for a while.
After that, he did not continue to visit the door.
After Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang had arranged things almost completely, they said goodbye to Liu Wenshan and Mingyue and continued to set off for Hongfeng Mountain.
Liu Wenshan and Mingyue were a little reluctant, and they were sent all the way out of the gate of Cangzhou Mansion before stopping.
Watching Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang's figures gradually disappear from view.
Liu Wenshan turned around to leave, but found that Mingyue was still standing there and still not moving.
couldn't help but be stunned, looked at his daughter carefully, and then sighed and patted her shoulder.
Mingyue was stunned for a moment, looked up at Liu Wenshan, and her eyes were a little red.
Liu Wenshan smiled:
"Let's go home."
"Yes."
The father and daughter turned around and returned to Cangzhou Mansion.
After just taking two steps, Mingyue couldn't help but glance back again, but no matter how hard she tried at this time, she couldn't see the two of them.
……
……
Red Maple Mountain needs to go all the way south.
Speaking of far, it is actually not too far, after all, when the Ye family had an accident that night, Ye Jingshuang fled all the way, but after half a night's effort, he ran into Jiang Ran.
According to the normal pace, starting from Cangzhou Mansion, you can basically arrive in half a month's effort.
If you use light skills to hurry, or ride a horse, the distance can be shortened by almost half.
Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang were riding horses this time.
The two of them stayed overnight, and they were not in a hurry.
Although Jiang Ran had been worried about the old drunkard before, now that he knew that this old drunkard was extraordinary, he was far away in Jinyang Mansion.
There's no rush at all.
If you want to go to Jinyang Mansion, you have to go over the mountains and mountains, almost across the entire territory of the Golden Cicada Dynasty.
It's not something that can be reached in a day or two.
He had already calculated that along the way, he wanted to see the scenery on the rivers and lakes, and he was no longer as eager as before.
Eat something delicious, watch something good, and live up to your desperate life.
And the reason why I decided to go to the Red Maple Leaf family was to go to the party.
In addition to reassuring Ye Jingshuang, Jiang Ran also planned to go to Nasunjiazhuang.
Although Jiang Ran felt that the reward of the knife catching task was very tricky.
But...... Jiao Weiqin's whereabouts were finally obtained by him.
Since you got it, there's no reason not to look for it.
Otherwise, if something really happened when he turned around, causing Jiao Weiqin to be obtained by others, Jiang Ran would still feel uncomfortable.
On this day, the two of them walked to a place where there was no village in front of them and no store in the back, but they saw the clouds rolling, and they saw that the sky was about to change again.
"Lately, the weather has been really messy, dying of heat when it's hot, and suffocating when it's cloudy.
"It's so easy to look forward to a rain, just while we're out on our way."
Jiang Ran glanced at the sky above his head and couldn't help muttering a few words.
Ye Jingshuang smiled:
"That's the unpredictable."
"That's because there's no weather forecast."
“???”
Ye Jingshuang was a little confused again, she had been with Jiang Ran for a long time, and she could always hear some strange and unheard words from Jiang Ran's mouth.
And whenever he wanted to delve deeper, Jiang Ran would wave his hand:
"Don't worry about the details."
Ye Jingshuang is no longer entangled.
looked around, but suddenly stunned:
"Brother Jiang, look at the ...... over there"
Following Ye Jingshuang's fingers, he saw a small building in the distance.
This is not the place where there is no store in front of the village, next to the avenue, there is such a place?
The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt that something was not right.
"Have you seen this in the past?"
Jiang Ran casually asked Ye Jingshuang.
After all, this place is not too far from Red Maple Mountain.
Ye Jingshuang shook his head, and the rain stars in the sky had already fallen, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the capital, which showed that the rain was full of strength.
Once it does fall, it's a pour.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran nodded:
"It's too dangerous to ride a horse in this weather.
"If there's a problem with this, it's time to take it.
"If it's okay, just spend the night...... Wait for the rain to stop before heading out.
"But you have to be careful, don't capsize in the gutter."
"Okay."
Ye Jingshuang nodded, and there was no extra opinion.
Jiang Ran's martial arts are world-famous, and his swordsmanship is not bad, with this confidence, even if there is really something strange in this place, there is no need to worry too much.
Immediately, the two men urged the horse forward.
The small building was not too far away from them, and in a matter of moments, they were already there.
There is also a small courtyard in front of the building, in which some chickens and ducks are raised.
At this time, they were all locked in cages, shivering, waiting for the rainstorm to come.
Around the yard, there were some carriages scattered, but there were no horses to be seen.
Presumably it was placed somewhere else.
In addition, there is a large fence hanging on the wall of this small building.
If you come across a house without an inn sign when you go out, and there is a big fence hanging outside, it means that this is also an inn.
You can spend money to stay in a hotel and buy a place to eat and drink.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang glanced at each other, then turned over and dismounted.
As he was walking inside, he saw a middle-aged man come out of the door:
"Hurry into the house, two, I'll settle your legs."
The so-called 'foot power' is Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang's horses.
Jiang Ran thanked him, and after handing over the reins to the middle-aged man, he led Ye Jingshuang into the door.
As soon as they entered the door with their front feet, they heard a loud explosion and a thunderclap, and when they turned back, the rain had fallen.
Jiang Ran shook off the water stains on his hand and glanced back at Ye Jingshuang:
"It's dangerous."
Ye Jingshuang nodded, and looked inside, the first floor was made into a hall.
There are a lot of tables and chairs, and at this time scattered guests sit in them, drinking tea and drinking, and chatting casually.
Some are merchants in a hurry, and there are also some Jianghu people with weapons.
It seems to be quite harmonious.
For the two of them, I didn't pay too much attention to them, and I didn't pay attention to them after glancing at them.
Behind the counter was a bookkeeper.
Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang came to him, and the shopkeeper glanced at the two of them, and without waiting for them to speak, he said:
"There are quite a few guests on the way today, but now there is only one room left on it......
"What do you two say?"
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran, and Jiang Ran smiled:
"That's just enough."
In fact, even if there was a room in this inn, Jiang Ran planned to ask for a room.
It's not that he has anything wrong with Ye Jingshuang.
The main thing is that it is an extraordinary place, and someone has to be vigilant.
One bed in one room, two people taking turns to rest, is the best way.
"Good, good."
The shopkeeper nodded suddenly, and was about to say something, when he saw that the middle-aged man outside the door had already walked in, and his body was pouring through.
The shopkeeper beckoned to him:
"Lao Wang, you take them upstairs."
"Okay."
Lao Wang's face was full of honesty, and when he heard this, he just shook his head, and then smiled at Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang:
"Come with me, both of you."
He staggered past them as he spoke, and walked to the second floor.
Jiang Ran glanced at this person, but he didn't pay attention to the hurried glance outside, and under careful listening at this time, this person's breathing was light, and if there was nothing, there was a strange law hidden in it.
It seems that every moment, a mysterious mind is running.
He was born with heavy steps, as if he didn't know martial arts......
It's kind of weird.
The staircase is in disrepair, and every step you step on makes a creaking sound.
In a matter of moments, the three of them were upstairs.
The old king led them to a room, and said with a smile:
"This is your room.
"If you need anything, feel free to greet me.
"You don't need money to eat in this hotel, but you can't choose, what is in the store, what you eat.
"If you want to eat something else, you have to give the money according to the price...... By the way, you have to give silver for drinking. ”
Jiang Ran nodded while listening, and just as he heard this, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of the inn.
I looked down and saw that a few people with fast feet had already entered the door.
Then a young man shouted:
"Damn, this hellish weather is almost fatal.
"Where is the shopkeeper? Bring me any good wine and food, and the silver will be indispensable to you. ”
Jiang Ran looked at him and was slightly stunned, this person ...... It was the young man who designed Zhang Zhi's painting in the woods that day.
How did he get here?
