It doesn't matter whether the Zhao family's affairs were done by Ke Beisheng or not.

He was able to withstand heavy pursuits, from a young man, to an old man, and he even made a name for himself as a demonic monster.

It is not easy to imagine that this person is not simple.

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, neither Dong Qingcheng nor Ye Jingxue felt that Ke Beisheng could agree.

However, Ke Beisheng pondered for a long time, and actually reached out to take the bottle.

Open the lid, tilt your head and swallow the pill inside.

Then he kowtowed heavily and said:

"The world slanders me as a demon, but only Gongzi is willing to give me a chance to defend myself.

"Ke Beisheng is willing to follow Childe!"

Jiang Ran glanced at him twice, if he was a fledgling, he might really believe this sentence directly.

But now the more things in the rivers and lakes are experienced, the more complicated the mind becomes.

It's hard to trust others.

This is not to say that Ke Beisheng's words are false, it's just that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it doesn't matter what you say, what you do.

Jiang Ran nodded lightly:

"Okay."

Then he looked up at the others present:

"What do you think?"

So far, this question is actually a little unnecessary, he has already done to deal with others, what qualifications does he have to put his beak?

Dong Qingcheng nodded:

"Everything is up to Jiang Daxia."

"That's good."

Jiang Ran smiled.

Ye Jingxue couldn't help but speak:

"I haven't spoken yet......"

"You listen to me."

Jiang Ran glanced at her.

Ye Jingxue was speechless for a long time, feeling that Jiang Ran really didn't treat herself as an outsider.

Later, Jiang Ran unlocked Ke Beisheng's acupoint and took advantage of the situation to push him through the palace.

Don't look at Jiang Ran's punch as if it just pressed it to the ground, the power of the Vajra Demon Fist has actually penetrated the muscles and bones, if you don't understand the meaning, these injuries will inevitably break out gradually in the next few days, and then it will be completely hopeless.

Now that Jiang Ran has helped to recuperate, there is no problem.

After doing this, everyone gathered together and explained the reason.

Liedaomen was going to Jinyang Mansion this time, and he was sent by the division.

The reason is very simple, there are a few old devils who have accumulated years of experience, and they have reappeared in the rivers and lakes in recent days, and there are traces in Jinyang Mansion, so the division led them to investigate.

It's not just the Liedaomen, according to Dong Qingcheng, this trip is not a small matter.

In addition to the Fierce Sword Sect, the other six factions, and even the people of the Dao Sect will also be present.

Before going out, the division had an order to let them meet in Guzhang County, which is in Jinyang Mansion, and then rush to Jinyang Mansion together.

Jiang Ran had seen the map and knew that this Guzhang County was only three days away from Jinyang Mansion at most.

It's a relatively close one.

But the seven factions were scattered in the north, south, east and west, and the Liedaomen side first went to Guzhang and then to Jinyang.

But there are some sects, but they first go to Jinyang, and then to Guzhang.

If you bypass Jinyang Mansion and take another three days to meet in Guzhang County, it will be a waste of time.

Focusing on this, it makes people feel that there are some problems in this Guzhang County itself.

However, Jiang Ran didn't say anything about this matter, but just nodded:

"I happen to have something to go to Jinyang Mansion, if you want, we can go together for a while."

Dong Qingcheng immediately agreed, as if he was afraid that Jiang Ran would retort.

As he was talking, he heard a muffled snort from someone on the side of the Fierce Sword Sect, it was the one who was injured before, Dong Qingcheng pushed the palace blood for him, but now it seems that he still can't suppress it.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

Dong Qingcheng's face changed, and he came to probe for his pulse.

The others looked at Ke Beisheng with some indignation.

Ke Beisheng stood with his hands in his hands and snorted:

"What do you see? The old man almost took my life, and I was just angry with his disciples, and I didn't really kill you......"

"Hmph, the devil is a monster, his name is not small, but he is as timid as a mouse.

"The ancestor has an enmity with you, you don't dare to look for the ancestor, you only dare to find trouble with us juniors."

Finally, someone couldn't help but talk back.

One sentence poked Ke Beisheng's sore spot.

The sword of the Flame Patriarch back then really made him worse than death, and he suffered for many years.

To this day, there are still occasional episodes of fire poisoning, which cause splitting headaches.

This knife almost killed him, not to mention, it also made him have a huge psychological shadow, although he has improved his martial arts over the years, he has never dared to go to the Flame Ancestor for revenge.

Now that the juniors of the Fierce Sword Sect have lifted the fig leaf with one sentence, they suddenly feel that they can't hold their faces.

There was murder in his eyes:

"Do you dare to say what you just said?"

The temperament of the people of the Fierce Sword Sect is also fierce, and hearing soft words can calm their minds, but once it intensifies, it is a flame that is sultry.

The young man immediately sneered, and was about to speak, when he heard Jiang Ran shout softly:

"That's enough."

"Jiang Daxia ......"

The disciple of the Fierce Sword Sect glanced at Jiang Ran, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his anger.

Jiang Ran glanced at Ke Beisheng and shook his head slightly:

"There is nothing wrong with what people say, if you are indignant in your heart, you can go to the Flame Ancestor to take revenge, and if you have nothing to do with other people's disciples, it is not only meaningless, but also lost your identity.

"Did this brother fall for you?"

Ke Beisheng could bare his teeth with the people of the Fierce Sword Sect, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous to Jiang Ran.

Immediately nodded honestly:

"Exactly, he was hit by my [Triple Lock Finger], and if the finger power lingered, it would be painful.

"This finger power is my unique technique, and it is difficult for others to remove it. It takes seven days for the pain to dissipate on its own. ”

"Possibly unraveled?"

"Naturally."

When Jiang Ran heard this, he looked at Dong Qingcheng:

"Brother Dong, what happened back then, let's not care about it today.

"Now that Ke Beisheng is sitting down with me, please look at my face and give him a chance to resolve this grievance for the time being.

"If one day, the truth of the past can be revealed, and then do the act of talking about things, what does Brother Dong think?"

Dong Qingcheng frowned first when he heard this.

I feel that Jiang Ran's words have been taken advantage of......

Now that Ke Beisheng is under Jiang Ran's seat, he can't care about the past.

In the future, if the events of that year are revealed to the world, they will have to settle the accounts......

But after thinking about it, if the things of the year were really the loss of the Fierce Sword Sect, or maybe the rivers and lakes were unfair to him Ke Beisheng.

Then what he has endured over the years should not be.

It is also understandable that people want to settle accounts.

Immediately sighed lightly:

"Listen to Jiang Daxia."

"Well, Ke Beisheng, you go and untie him."

Jiang Ran said.

"Yes."

Ke Beisheng clenched his fists and agreed when he heard this, and came to the disciple of the Burning Sword Sect.

Under the watchful gaze of a group of young people, he casually nodded his finger at the disciple of the Fierce Sword Sect.

The man's pale face suddenly turned bloody.

However, this finger is not the end, a total of seven fingers are clicked before and after, and everything is over.

The man had been in pain for a long time, but now that the pain had gone, he fell asleep.

Ke Beisheng put his hands behind his back and stood behind Jiang Ran.

After such a small episode, the group did not continue to talk.

Now that the night is getting darker, everyone is starting to rest.

Jiang Ran sat on the edge of the fire, casually pulling it to make the flame burn more vigorously.

Tang Huayi was lying not far from him, and sometimes he opened one eye and glanced at Jiang Ran's opposite, where Ye Jingxue was sitting.

Ye Jingxue hugged her legs, sat on the ground tiredly, put her chin on her knees, and was clearly staring at the flames, but in fact, a pair of eyes never left Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran occasionally looked up, and she pretended not to look at him.

Jiang Ran laughed dumbly and said softly:

"If there's anything you want to know, just ask me."

“…… Better. ”

Ye Jingxue thought for a moment, and then said:

"However, I don't know where to start."

"Then think about it."

"How did you and my sister meet?"

Ye Jingxue finally thought of the beginning of everything.

Jiang Ran looked up at the darkness outside the Taoist temple, and also remembered that night.

The girl who was embarrassed and covered in blood told Ye Jingxue about the scene when she broke into the broken temple.

Of course, he didn't say that at that time, he asked people about Ye Jingshuang's robbery of wealth or robbery.

Jiang Ran also opened the conversation box and recalled all the bits and pieces since he and Ye Jingshuang got acquainted.

The first acquaintance of the broken temple, the tea shop, the separation of Cangzhou, the reunion of the galloping horses, and finally the reunion of the Red Maple Villa.

Ye Jingxue listened with relish, and finally sighed:

"If it weren't for my sister's mentor, maybe I would have been able to see her today.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for saving her.

"It's been a long time since the news of the accident at home reached my ears.

"I wanted to go down the mountain immediately, but Master wouldn't allow me.

"said that his parents and relatives have been taken in by his sister, even if he returns to Hongfeng Villa, he won't see anything.

He also said that this matter is deep and complicated, not only Tong Wanli and the Heartless Ghost Mansion mentioned in my sister's letter, but also a bigger shadow looming behind it.

"If I want to avenge the Red Maple Villa, I should come to Jinyang Mansion.

"Wait for the revenge to be avenged, and then go back to pay tribute to the descendants of the Ye family.

"So...... That's why I'm where I am today.

"I didn't expect to meet you."

Jiang Ran smiled and shook his head:

"You're welcome, pretending to be your sister when you meet?"

Ye Jingxue smiled:

"I have calluses in my ears when I hear your name, and today when I saw the jade pendant on your waist and listened to your frost call so affectionately, I naturally recognized your identity.

"Then I wondered, can you recognize that I'm not my sister.

"I didn't expect to be recognized by you.

"But now that I think about it, I don't think it's strange...... You've been through so much together, and you're sure you're familiar with each other.

"It's not like my dad...... I haven't seen my sister and I all year round.

"From now on...... Not even more so. ”

When she said this, her expression was gloomy, maybe the tears that should have been shed had already flowed, or maybe she didn't want to cry in front of Jiang Ran, a stranger who was somewhat familiar, but she didn't cry.

Jiang Ran was silent for a while, and did not speak to comfort him, but just added a piece of firewood to make the flame burn more vigorously, and then said:

"Rest early."

Ye Jingxue didn't want to sleep, sniffed, took a deep breath, and then tilted her head to look at Jiang Ran:

"Did my sister mention me to you?"

"I mentioned it."

"What did she say about me?"

"Say you've been sensible since you were a child, smart and smart."

In fact, Ye Jingshuang and Jiang Ran rarely mentioned Ye Jingxue, let alone said such words as 'sensible since childhood, smart and clever'.

It's just that you can't say that.

"Really?"

Ye Jingxue's eyes really lit up slightly, and the corners of her mouth also flashed a little smile:

"My sister is smart, I'm just lucky."

Jiang Ran glanced at her and didn't ask.

Ye Jingxue didn't know what she thought of, so she didn't continue to speak.

It's Tang Huayi, who has been peeking at it all the time, I don't know when he has seen it openly.

I wanted to say a thousand words, but because of the identity of 'Li Tianxin', I couldn't say a word, so I had to turn over vigorously with a black face, and then close my eyes vigorously and sleep hard.

Jiang Ran glanced at her, and for some reason the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight arc.

The night was spent in silence, and it was uneventful.

The next morning, everyone woke up and packed up their own pots to cook.

It can be seen that the gang of the Fierce Sword Sect, including Hu Nan, are not very good at eating and drinking along the way.

In Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi's opinion, Li Tianyu's breakfast was delicious, and they all ate it with relish...... It's like a delicacy.

This also made Li Tianyu more confident, and decided to explore this path in depth.

After breakfast, everyone continued their journey.

The disciples of the Fierce Sword Sect did not ride horses, and they hurried away with light skills.

Ye Jingxue originally wanted to sit in Jiang Ran's carriage, but when she opened the curtain of the door, she sat silently on the roof of the carriage.

I really don't want to sit with those people.

couldn't help but say to Jiang Ran:

"Brother Jiang, if you don't use this carriage in the future, don't sell it."

"Why?"

Jiang Ran asked casually.

"Too lacking in virtue ......"

Ye Jingxue muttered and sat down cross-legged.

Dong Qingcheng felt that Ye Jingxue was reasonable, this carriage with human heads still smelled of corpses, and it was not suitable to sell it to anyone.

Jiang Ran smiled again:

"Okay, don't go back, I'll tear down the fire."

In the end, Ke Beisheng and Li Tianyu drove the carriage one by one, Ye Jingxue sat on the roof of the car, and the other people's mounts remained unchanged.

The group rushed towards Guzhang County like this.

The journey of this road is really not short, and it is half a month to go almost all the way.

And as time goes by, the deeper the winter, the colder it feels.

The group also changed into thick winter coats.

The disciples on the side of the Fierce Sword Sect also wore cloaks with red stripes on a black background.

Jiang Ran felt a little familiar at a glance, and finally suddenly, if it was a stand-up collar...... Isn't this the Xiao Organization?

And although he himself has deep internal strength and does not invade the cold and heat, in order not to stand out from the crowd, he also changed a set of clothes.

It was a set of cyan kaftan that Tang Huayi selected for him, with a tie around his waist, a straight body, and his somewhat red-faced face, when he came out of the ready-to-wear store, he was watched by the girls on the street for a while.

Although it is said that there are men and women in this era, it is okay to move your eyes without your hands.

Because of this, the gaze is particularly intense.

almost made Jiang Ran shy.

And along the way, Dong Qingcheng and the others finally understood how Jiang Ran's head in the carriage came from.

They were surprised by the first wave of outlaws who rushed up to snatch Scorchtail.

I also wanted to say something good and make peace, and when I found that the other party was completely unmoved, I pulled out my knife angrily.

In the second wave, they were much calmer.

Later, it was no longer strange to see it.

And these famous and decent disciples have very strong learning ability, and they can even go to clean up the battlefield with Li Tianyu and clean up the broken silver and pills.

There were also a few who could identify the wanted criminals, who cut off their heads with their hands and feet and threw them in the carriage.

Dong Qingcheng didn't take it seriously at first, but after a while, he found that his juniors and disciples were becoming more and more proficient, and he didn't feel quite right.

Fortunately, Guzhang County was already in sight at this time, otherwise he would be worried, and if this continued, he would have a junior and younger brother to learn from Jiang Ran how to save the head.

Where is this walking with Jiang Ran all the way, this is Jiang Ran cultivating knife catchers here.

……

……

Guzhang County is not big.

The location is also quite remote, not occupying a transportation hub, so there are not many people.

When you set foot in the prefecture, you will feel quite deserted.

There are very few pedestrians on the streets.

Occasionally, I saw a few, and I also put my hands in my sleeves and hurried by.

Dong Qingcheng has been here, and he led everyone to a place called Yunxiang Inn.

It's just that the door of the inn is closed, and some people are stunned:

"Is it closed?"

"There's someone inside."

Dong Qingcheng said loudly:

"Go knock on the door, it should be too cold, and you can make a living behind closed doors."

When even if someone from the Fierce Sword Sect went up and knocked on the door.

Sure enough, footsteps came to me in a moment, and the door was opened with a creak, and a head sneaked out:

"Who?"

When I saw the group of people in front of the door, I was shocked:

"This ...... Who are you...... Sharpen or stay in the hotel? ”

Hitting the tip is to eat a meal and leave, and there is no need to say much about staying in the hotel.

"Stay in the hotel."

Dong Qingcheng said: "But there are still enough rooms? ”

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly opened the door, and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's getting colder and colder these days.

The cold wind blew uncomfortably, and the door was shut.

As soon as he spoke, someone inside shouted and scolded why he opened the door, and quickly closed the door to freeze to death.

The shopkeeper was not afraid, and turned around to distinguish two sentences.

There are so many of them, and they obviously can't live in the building of the inn.

Fortunately, this inn is very large, and there is a courtyard in the back, so Jiang Ran and they asked for a small courtyard to rest.

The little second brother suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Looking at Jiang Ran, I felt that it was pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Ran asked casually:

"Little second brother, have you been like us in recent days, a group of guests wearing the same clothes?"

"Yes."

The little second brother didn't want to answer.

Dong Qingcheng was stunned when he heard this, looking at the appearance of this inn, he thought that they were the first to arrive.

Immediately hurriedly asked:

"Where are they now?"

"A few days ago a group of guests came, all dressed in the same clothes, oh yes, they all embroidered a mountain on their sleeves.

"But they went out last night and haven't come back since."
