Sanshui County Yamen.

Jiang Ran yawned and walked out of it.

When I raised my eyes, I saw a group of girls from the Water Moon Sword Sect standing on the side of the street, and on the other end were Li Tianxin holding a knife and Luo Qingyi carrying a bag on his back.

Ruan Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran:

"Done?"

Jiang Ran had no choice but to nod and take a look at Ruan Yuqing:

"Miss Ruan is still there...... Last night, I prepared your antidote pill overnight, and now the poison in your body has been resolved.

"I don't think there will be any more problems, you can rest assured."

Jiang Ran couldn't sleep well last night.

Just as he was about to lie down, Fang Li sent all the medicinal materials he needed.

Thinking that he would be separated from Ruan Yuqing and them today.

I simply prepared the pill overnight.

I sent it to Ruan Yuqing early this morning.

As a result, Ruan Yuqing said that they had been delayed in the Three Rivers Gang for a long time and could not continue to stay.

decided to go with Jiang Ran.

But if you want to go, it's not half of the road to the sky.

Instead, he followed Jiang Ran all the way to Sanshui County.

Jiang Ran came here, of course, for the reward of Wu Zhong and the Three Water Demon Lord.

The Three Water Demon Lord was a wanted criminal twenty years ago, although the case has now been closed, but Jiang Ran, as a knife catcher, holds a knife arrest order, indicating that although the case of the year is gone, the person is still alive.

You can still get a bounty on this.

As for Wu Zhong......

Although he is on the list of sword wielders, in the same way, as a master who escaped from Ouchi, he is naturally indispensable in the sea fishing documents.

The silver reward is still 39,000 taels, which is not a lot.

plus 20,000 taels of silver from a three-water demon lord.

Fifty-nine thousand taels of silver are given, and the county magistrate of Sanshui County will be crying bitterly in the yamen.

Just a bonus for these two...... Jiang Ran felt a little entangled.

Wu Zhong's reward is a set of palm techniques, called [Heavenly Covering Divine Palm].

And the reward of the Three Water Demon Lords is eight years of internal strength.

It stands to reason that he received these two rewards directly.

But the problem is, now Jiang Ran still has four buffs on his body.

If this will be obtained, no matter what kind of Jiang Ran feels, it is not very cost-effective.

Especially the Heavenly Palm...... If this palm technique is really powerful, how could Wu Zhong be defeated so easily?

Even if it is blessed by BUFF, it is estimated that for Jiang Ran, it is just the icing on the cake.

As for the internal forces...... It is not yet known what the specific promotion mechanism will look like.

In case each buff can increase the internal strength for ten years, that is a full forty-eight internal strength, which is quite impressive.

But even if this is the case, it is estimated that the improvement of the Creation Righteous Heart Sutra is extremely limited.

After all, there is still a lack of an internal skill to fill the gap of the 39 of the Righteous Heart Sutra.

Jiang Ran thought about it, but decided not to collect these two rewards first.

Put it first...... Don't give up, don't claim it, and wait to see if there are any other rewards.

And at this moment, Jiang Ran's data panel is also quite rich.

【Knife Catcher System!】 】

[Host: Jiang Ran]

[Target: None]

[Arrest Progress: None]

[Reward: Heavenly Palm (29 years), unclaimed.] 】

[Reward: Eight years of internal strength, unclaimed.] 】

【Nine Dead Pulses: Repairing ......】

[Remaining life: three years, six months and nine days!] 】

In terms of longevity alone, it is no longer the same as before.

Previously, when Jiang Ran won the Second Monarch of Yangyue, his lifespan had surged to two years and ten months.

Later, they won Shi Pingzhang, Wu Zhong and Sanshui Demon Monarch respectively.

As well as a few bits and pieces of little people.

Then get rid of the time wasted on the road...... So far, life has come a long way.

Just occasionally looking at the words 'Nine Deaths', Jiang Ran will also have some questions.

When the system says 'repairing', is it really being repaired, or is it ...... Just to get a reward and instill your life?

This is a question that will not be answered for a while.

However, if the system is really using this to repair the Nine Dead Veins, there must be a certain amount of progress.

Perhaps after reaching a certain peak, there will be some external manifestation.

After turning these things around in his heart, Jiang Ran left the county office, but as soon as he went out, he found that Ruan Yuqing and the others were still at the door.

That's why I said that.

"Rest assured?"

Ruan Yuqing sighed:

"I want to be reassured, but I really can't put people at ease.

"The news of Jiaowei has begun to spread in all directions, and you will become the target of public criticism.

"How can I rest assured?"

Jiang Ran was stunned:

"So you can't rest assured of me......"

Li Tianxin on the side rolled his eyes again and sighed, his eyes were full of decadence, and he seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to it.

"That's right."

Ruan Yuqing said: "You admit that Jiaowei is on you, for our consideration." How can we abandon you now? At the very least, I will follow you before heading to the Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain. ”

"What about them?"

Jiang Ran glanced at the other disciples of the Water Moon Sword Sect.

In the previous battle with Wu Zhong, none of their injuries were good.

There will inevitably be danger around Jiang Ran next, and they will follow...... If you're not careful, you could lose your life.

Ruan Yuqing understood what Jiang Ran meant, so she said:

"I've already arranged for them to return to the Water Moon Sword Sect first.

"I'm following you alone...... I know that you are strong in martial arts, but one person is short, even if I am not as good as you in martial arts, but there is something, multiple people with multiple ideas, multiple ideas, and multiple ideas, it is always good. ”

"Since Miss Ruan has made up her mind, Jiang naturally can't stop it, just let the girl be casual."

Having said that, Jiang Ran didn't know how to refuse.

Ruan Yuqing immediately nodded with satisfaction.

said goodbye to this group of disciples of the Water Moon Sword Sect one by one, and told them to be careful on the road.

Actually, it won't be much of a danger.

Ruan Yuqing specially found someone to lead the team, and besides, the Water Moon Sword Sect was indeed not easy to provoke.

Even if it was Wu Zhong, if it weren't for Jiao Weiqin, he would never do anything to the people of the Water Moon Sword Sect.

Everyone knows that the Water Moon Sword Sect is unprecedentedly united, and the elders in the sect are extremely protective of their shortcomings.

Once you provoke one, you will kill a group.

These people only need to not provoke right and wrong on the way, and then they can reach the Water Moon Sword Sect smoothly.

And then there is the person who leads the team, which is also carefully selected by Ruan Yuqing.

is shrewd and not weak in martial arts, so this is the important task entrusted to him.

Look at Ruan Yuqing and explain the things that should be explained.

Jiang Ran looked into the distance at the location of the Three Rivers Gang.

When they left this morning, Fang Yinuo and Fang Lilian came out with a large group of hall masters to see them off.

For Jiang Ran, this small meeting on the waters of the Three Rivers was just an episode in the journey.

But for Fang Yinuo and them, there are still many things to deal with.

The Heishui Village can't just let it go...... However, this is also other people's housework, and Jiang Ran doesn't care about the specifics.

After looking at it twice, he withdrew his gaze and smiled softly:

"In that case, let's go."

……

……

The stars are dotted, and the cold moon hangs high.

At night, a fire was lit at the edge of the woods.

Luo Qingyi took out two roast chickens, four pig feet, three water bladders, and four roast cakes from his packing bag.

They were placed next to the fire with their hands and feet.

and distributed the water bladder to Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing.

Ruan Yuqing thanked him, looked at Luo Qingyi, and really wanted to praise the virtuous ......

But considering that the other party is really a strong man, these words were swallowed into his stomach.

Li Tianxin held the knife, leaned against a tree, opened the water bladder and took a sip:

"It's too quiet, isn't it?"

"yes."

Luo Qingyi also nodded when he heard this:

"I thought that after the news of Jiao Weiqin was spread by Gongzi, it would inevitably attract a lot of hunting.

"Who would have thought that after these seven days, there would be no movement at all."

"Don't be careless."

Ruan Yuqing spoke softly:

"The more this is the case, the more you have to be careful.

"In the past, you were in a hurry, and you were able to see some mountain bandits and road tyrants, but now even these people have disappeared, obviously there is another mystery."

"Probably, they are secretly poking and poking and preparing to make some big moves."

Jiang Ran's voice came from the tree.

He was sitting on a tree branch, carrying a wine gourd and drinking.

Xu is drinking beautifully, and his two legs are hanging and swinging.

Ruan Yuqing glanced up at him:

"What are you doing sitting so high?"

"Isn't that observing your surroundings?"

"Did you observe anything?"

"Nope."

Jiang Ran pursed his lips and flew down from the tree:

"Nothing was found except the beasts of the woods, which were a little stirring because of the smell of roasted meat.

"You say, are these people holding back and ambushing me in front of Sunset Ping?"

"Who knows ...... this"

阮玉青 says:

"You're putting the news out too early, and they're probably doing too much.

"In this case, it's hard to guess."

"But it will come eventually......"

Jiang Ran stretched and sniffed again:

"Tsing Yi has been good at hot rice recently."

"Thank you for the compliment."

A smile appeared on Luo Qingyi's face:

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

Li Tianxin pursed his lips and glanced at Luo Qingyi: "Is there anything to be happy about?" ”

Luo Qingyi said as a matter of course:

"It's natural to be appreciated by Childe."

"It's really promising."

When Jiang Ran heard this, he glanced at this more promising, and said with a smile:

"Brother Li, is it time to pay the recent food expenses?"

Li Tianxin snorted:

"What's the big deal about handing it over? What the master has is money! ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.

Jiang Ran never eats alone, and there is never a lot to be given to them.

Especially Li Tianxin, since the second monarch of Yangyue, he has experienced the matter of Shi Pingzhang, although he is not as rich as Jiang Ran, but he still has a few thousand taels of silver.

Immediately clicked, and took out a few silver tickets to Jiang Ran:

"Here, for a year!"

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at it:

"Not enough."

"I'll give you a full three hundred taels of silver, how can it be enough?

"How much does an average person have to eat and wear in a year?"

Li Tianxin was furious: "I gave these, it's enough for me to eat for several years!" ”

"Not enough, not enough, Brother Li, you underestimate yourself too much...... As the saying goes, the half-size child eats the poor old man, and you are now in the stage of this half-sized child.

"I'm an old man, can't I charge more?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "In addition, Brother Li, when I advise you to talk to me, it's best to be polite." You know that I don't have any other fetishes, I just like to shake my hands and poison them...... Although he had no intention of killing, his itchy hands were unbearable and there were no outsiders, so he had to attack the people around him. ”

The previous words originally made Li Tianxin want to scold people.

The latter words completely blocked the curse words.

He glanced at Jiang Ran hatefully:

"Sooner or later, I will pull a list for you......

"Okay, I'll give! How many do you want!? ”

Jiang Ran didn't rush to a conclusion, but said:

"Before I ask this, I want to ask you, how long are you going to eat and drink with me?"

Li Tianxin almost smashed Jiang Ran's head with a scabbard.

This shameless ...... While asking for money and food expenses from himself, he also said that he ate and drank for nothing!

Where did you eat and drink for nothing?

Gritted his teeth fiercely:

"You ...... me"

"Let's count it as five years.

"One thousand taels a year, five thousand taels."

Jiang Ran stretched out five fingers.

"I'll chop it up for you!!"

Li Tianxin couldn't hold back after all, and he choked and pulled out his knife.

Jiang Ran grinned, he didn't care, he flipped the five-finger knife casually, but saw that the blade was rolling, and it was difficult for him to start easily under the pressure of the rolling knife.

Then the knife was swept away, and a dinging sound was heard.

The blade was somehow flicked by Jiang Ran's fingers.

The blade suddenly flew upward.

I heard Jiang Ran laugh and say:

"You kid, have you ever heard that karma is good at diligence and frolic.

"Your sword skills haven't grown much in the past few days.

"Chopping wood is okay, if you want to deal with me, it's still a little hot.

"And...... You're too grumpy, aren't you? You eat and drink for nothing by my side, and if I ask you for food, you will draw your sword and kill people...... You're doing something like a devil. ”

"The lion's big mouth is the devil's behavior!"

After Li Tianxin swung two knives, the tone in his heart was also a little smoother.

And this kind of thing, in fact, Luo Qingyi and Ruan Yuqing are used to it.

Jiang Ran sometimes had some quarrels with Li Tianxin, and he made two moves at every turn.

Jiang Ran became interested, and he would specially pull Li Tianxin to learn.

The length of time varies, but the final result is the same, it all ends with Li Tian's heart and nose and swollen face...... Fortunately, Jiang Ran's medical skills are excellent, Li Tianxin was still blue and swollen the day before, and he returned to normal one day.

"Then you don't give it, right?"

"Give!"

Li Tianxin pulled the silver ticket in his hand fiercely, as if these were not money, and all that was printed on them was Jiang Ran's face.

However, after pulling it, Li Tianxin was dumbfounded:

"Not enough for five thousand taels ......"

"Not enough, how much worse?"

"There are still three thousand two hundred taels left."

“……”

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, are you not enough for five thousand taels? You don't even have two thousand taels.

Finally sighed:

"Forget it, pay one year first, and make up the rest later."

Li Tianxin snorted, took out a few more silver tickets and handed them to Jiang Ran.

Ruan Yuqing saw that they were serious, and couldn't help but speak:

"Jiang Shaoxia...... Do I have to pay it too?

"But I walked the rivers and lakes, and I have always had a breeze on my sleeves, and I don't have so much silver on my body......"

Jiang Ran glanced at her:

"No Silver......

Ruan Yuqing was stunned when she heard this, and saw Jiang Ran looking at her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

My heart suddenly tightened...... My mind began to churn.

Jiang Ran also understood this girl.

Water Moon Sword Sect, the soft water sword of ice and jade......

This is all known to the world.

But Jiang Ran suspected that the Roushui Sword had not been out of the rivers and lakes in the past few years, probably because he was nested in the Water Moon Sword Sect and read some strange miscellaneous conversations every day.

Without reacting to a word, this girl can interpret different speeds from unexpected angles.

Immediately, the smile quickly retracted:

"What are you thinking?"

"I ...... I didn't think about anything! ”

Ruan Yuqing's face was light for a while.

“…… The devil believes in you. ”

Jiang Ran pursed his lips:

"Don't worry, you're different from him, there's no silver without silver."

"How can it be!"

Li Tianxin was furious: "Why is it different? ”

"The starting point is different."

Jiang Ran said: "People follow me to protect my safety. ”

"Am I not?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Ran said righteously: "Not to mention whether you have the ability to protect my safety, what was the reason you gave me at the beginning?" Haven't you forgotten about yourself...... You see that I am used to causing trouble, and you want to find clues around me and track down the traces of the Demon Sect.

"How dangerous this is, so the money you give is not just food......

"I ......"

Li Tian thought about it for a long time, and found that he couldn't refute it.

I was a little angry for a while.

Ruan Yuqing glanced at Li Tianxin with some surprise.

Just as he was about to ask something, Jiang Ran suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them from speaking.

I looked up into the depths of the forest.

A moment later, there was a rustling of footsteps.

Luo Qingyi was suddenly a little excited.

Standing up with his hands up:

"Is there finally someone who is not afraid of death?"

As he spoke, the visitor had already passed through the dark area of the forest and stepped into the firelight.

Later, he saw the roast chicken next to the fire at a glance, and he didn't want to step forward, so he took a roast chicken in his hand, and didn't care about burning his mouth, and opened his mouth to gnaw it.

Jiang Ran looked at him silently, waved his hand to Luo Qingyi and asked him to sit down.

Only then did he smile and laugh:

"Is it delicious?"

The visitor nodded repeatedly.

"It's ours."

The man said as he ate:

"I know ......"

The mouth is stuffed with chicken to the point that the mouth is slurred.

Then I heard Jiang Ran say:

"Gotta give ...... money"

"How much? I have! ”

It's also a pleasure to come.

Jiang Ran didn't stumble either: "One hundred thousand taels!" ”

"Poof!!"

The person who came didn't notice it for a while, was stabbed in the back by this number, and immediately choked, and immediately beat his chest again and again, and finally coughed, relieved his breath, and glared at Jiang Ran:

"Jiang Shaoxia, I don't see you in the tenth month...... You don't want to be a knife catcher, and you start robbing houses? ”

"The seniors laughed, I didn't rob anything, it was clearly Mr. Big, you ran over and grabbed our roast chicken."

Jiang Ran was happy.

The person in front of him is not an outsider, it is the big gentleman who had a relationship in Cangzhou Mansion at that time.
