Chapter 411: Draped Star Heavenly Demon Slash
Jiahe City is not close to the imperial capital, and it is only half a month for them to go deep into Qingguo to get here.
According to the normal path, if you take the official road, if Xiaoxing sleeps overnight, it will take nearly a month.
And that's without any trouble on the road.
But if there is a little problem and the trip is delayed, it may not be able to arrive when.
And now Jiang Ran and the others can't go.
In order to prevent accidents, after the group changed their appearance, they also had to disguise themselves with another layer of identity.
The eldest princess felt that this matter was easy to do, Jiang Ran could pretend to be a rich son, and Tian Miaomiao and Chu Yunniang were the accompanying maids.
Wu Di Li Tianyu is the guard.
Liu Mucheng can be said to be a housekeeper.
He and Shuangxue can be wronged and be Jiang Ran's wife.
Jiang Ran and the others gladly accepted it, and categorically refused to do so on this last point.
caused the eldest princess to grit her teeth, saying that Jiang Ran didn't know what to do, and she didn't know how to be blessed in the blessing.
Jiang Ran didn't bother to pay attention to her, but after thinking about it, he still told her that she had a special identity, and once the clues were exposed, the higher she was in a high position, the more likely she was to expose herself.
So the young lady or something, it's okay to be shocked by frost and snow, but she can't.
Then he said that the guards should not all be men, and that a woman could be added, and she was just right.
The eldest princess gritted her teeth, and after rubbing her hands for a while, she felt that what Jiang Ran said was not unreasonable.
However, Ye Jingxue proposed that she didn't want to be a young lady with her sister, and she also wanted to be a guard.
Jiang Ran looked at these two faces and sighed helplessly.
Although the Tang painting has changed its face, the two faces are still not much different.
Two people who look exactly the same, one is a young lady and the other is a guard, is this reasonable?
Ye Jingxue was speechless for a while.
looked at my sister's expectant face again, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
And so it was settled.
The group changed their outfits, and they became the sons and daughters from the neighboring country of Akiba, and traveled to Qingguo with their wives and entourage.
Just in time for the war in Qingguo, he didn't dare to shake in the border city, so he simply went straight to the imperial capital of Qingguo, thinking that even if this war spread, he would not be able to burn the imperial capital for a while.
With such a layer of characters, the group can finally set off.
Of course, even if this is the case, if you can avoid the official road, you should try not to take the official road as much as possible.
It's been a secluded path through the mountains all the time.
In this way, it is bitter for Liu Mucheng.
Liu Mucheng is a civil official after all, he can speak well, and he is old and sophisticated.
But after all, there is no power to restrain the chicken.
Even if Chu Yunniang loses her martial arts and has no internal strength, her physique to practice martial arts since she was a child is amazing, and it is much easier compared to it.
In this way, I stumbled all the way, walked for another seven days, and walked only 300 miles.
While walking on this day, Jiang Ran's expression suddenly moved slightly, and he said softly:
"There was a fight."
Everyone looked at each other and became cautious.
It's not that the nerves are too tense, but it's that along the way, they haven't had time to rest in the city.
It's just that whenever you enter the city, you will see that the streets and alleys are full of portraits of Jiang Ran and others.
That's right...... Jiang Ran, a knife catcher, fights geese all day long, and this time he finally became beaten.
Qingguo gave them a high bounty.
Especially Jiang Ran.
The sky-high price of 100,000 taels of gold is marked!
Of course, Jiang Ran was actually not convinced by this.
After all, what he knows is worth this money, and there is only one king.
What grade, he actually has the same price as himself?
How can this really be true?
However, in this way, Jiang Ran and the others are indeed in a good voice, whether they meet people from the rivers and lakes or other people, it is difficult to say that they have seen through their identities and will not immediately take action against them.
The eldest princess immediately looked at Jiang Ran:
"What should I do?"
Without waiting for Jiang Ran to speak, Liu Mucheng couldn't help but say:
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, you are the eldest princess of a dynasty, how can you ask this charlatan about everything?"
The eldest princess ignored him, and Jiang Ran ignored him.
This person has not been like this for a while, from the first day of departure to the present, whenever the eldest princess shows that she is obedient to Jiang Ran's words, he has to remind him on the side.
Not only that, Jiang Ran gave orders, and when everyone listened, he had to ask the eldest princess.
At the beginning, Jiang Ran still felt that this product was deliberately against him.
Later, it turned out that this man was like this......
In his heart, the young and the old are orderly, and everything has to be done according to the rules.
Even if people feel old-fashioned and don't know how to be flexible, they will never change the bottom line in their hearts.
After a long time, I also think this person is quite funny.
For this person, when his words made sense, Jiang Ran would not turn a deaf ear, but now in this situation, everyone ignored it.
He didn't care about it himself, he said what to do anyway, and it was the princess's decision to listen to it or not.
Jiang Ran groaned for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"Forget it, if you're in a foreign land, you're all the opposite, so don't worry about it......"
As soon as he said this, his face suddenly sank.
Sighing softly:
"Let's take a look, there are children among them."
He had the power of his ears and heard the cry of a baby.
Forget about the rest, but listening to the child's voice, it was only about two or three months in size, which really made Jiang Ran unbearable.
Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.
Even Liu Mucheng was silent for a while, but he didn't speak.
Immediately, Jiang Ran took the first step, followed by the two of them, and then Li Tianyu.
As for Wu Di, he took care of Chu Yunniang and Liu Mucheng.
And the reason why Tian Miaomiao is a step slower is just because she can't work lightly......
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ran had already landed lightly on the branch of a big tree.
Brushing aside the leaves, I saw several guards fighting bloodily.
The opponent was not the bandits and bandits that Jiang Ran imagined, but a group of black-clothed people with strong martial arts.
The means of this group of guards are also not weak, but they are inferior in numbers, plus they have to protect one of the women with a child in their arms, and two and a half boys.
Therefore, when you make a move, you will inevitably be tied up.
Jiang Ran looked at it for a while, but he didn't see where the two horses came from.
It just so happened that Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue had already arrived at his side, and when Ye Jingxue saw this, he wanted to save people.
But Jiang Ran gently stopped him, and said in a low voice:
"Wait."
Ye Jingxue knew that Jiang Ran's words would not be untargeted, although she didn't understand what it meant, she still stopped obediently.
As for Li Tianyu, he had already occupied a favorable position, as long as Jiang Ran gave an order, his arrows would be shot.
Only occasionally seeing Li Tianyu's arrows, Jiang Ran couldn't help but think of another thing.
At that time, the group of people sent by Qingguo to assassinate the eldest princess had seen through Li Tianyu's cloud-chasing and moon-chasing arrows before they died.
even called out the four words 'Jin's remnants'.
even said wildly that if he harbored the remnants of the Jin family, he would be the enemy of the whole country of Qingguo.
But it doesn't seem to make a difference anymore.
He is already the enemy of the whole country.
At the same time, the battle in the field has finally changed.
Several of the guards couldn't hold it up, and they all stepped back and looked around at their master's side.
A man in black with obviously higher martial arts and higher status broke through the trees in the forest, came to him, and after landing on the ground in one step, he said softly:
"Why resist?
"Just tie your hands, hand over that child, and you can suffer a little less."
"Don't you think!!"
The woman with the child in her arms gritted her teeth and said:
"Are you not afraid of retribution when you do this?"
"Retribution?"
The man in black seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then sighed:
"I didn't expect that the Qiu family, the future head of the house, would still believe in the retribution of the Tianli cycle.
"Why do you need to marry into the Qiu clan for someone like you?
"Caught in such a muddy water?
"That's it, Heling doesn't understand......"
He flicked his fingers:
"Except for the child, there is no one left."
When the words fell, a group of black-clothed people did not hesitate, and immediately flew up, each showing their killing moves.
And looking at the guards around the woman, they have all reached the limit.
Under the onslaught of this theory, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.
Ye Jingxue's eyes flashed with a sword, and he was about to make a move, when he heard a voice shouting angrily:
"Enough, stop fighting!!"
I don't know if the anger that shocked this voice or if there was another reason, but the man in black at the head really called a halt.
Then he raised his eyes to see that the person who spoke was one of the two and a half sons beside the woman.
The boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Facing the group of people in black around him, it was difficult to hide the horror on his face.
However, he didn't know what to think, and he actually stepped out of the guard.
He took a deep breath and said:
"Enough...... Let's stop...... Stop fighting. ”
The man in black sighed in disappointment, as if he was very annoyed by his decision, but now he didn't even have the idea of saying a word to the child, so he lightly hooked his fingers.
Immediately, the two men in black flew up and wanted to kill the young man on the spot.
The two guards didn't think about it, so they came to stop it.
Unexpectedly, in the face of the blades of the two black-clothed men, the young man did not take a step back, but took a step forward, closed his eyes and pushed out a palm.
The direction of the palm wind is one of the men in black.
A touch of coldness flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and the blade turned, and he was about to cut off his palm, but he didn't want this palm to come first, and before his blade changed, the palm momentum had already fallen on the blade, and with a snap, the blade was directly broken, followed by the iron palm falling between the chest and abdomen of the man in black.
The man landed like a kite with a broken string, and the whole person volleyed away in the air, whirling and crashing into a tree.
He died instantly.
This scene really stunned everyone present.
Only Jiang Ran frowned.
Ye Jingxue whispered in surprise:
"What a deep internal force...... How could a child of his age have such internal strength? Could it be innate divine power? ”
Jiang Ran shook his head, already noticing that it wasn't just Ye Jingxue who was surprised, even the group of guards and the woman who was protected in the middle were completely stunned by this scene.
The black-clothed man led by him had a sinking eye, and immediately smiled:
"What a hidden young hero!"
At this point, with a wave of one hand, he directly ordered this group of black-clothed people to join forces to besiege him.
Although the young man has internal strength, it is extraordinary.
can look at his expression and the steps under his feet, you can know that he has no experience in fighting.
Just one palm is just one force to ten meetings.
Now facing the siege of so many black-clothed people, even if he is overstretched, but two of them have already been stabbed twice.
For a moment, blood flowed constantly.
Ye Jingxue immediately looked at Jiang Ran, this young man obviously doesn't know much about martial arts, and if he goes on like this, he is afraid that there will be no place to be buried.
Jiang Ran groaned for a while, and was about to make a move, when he saw the young man in the chaos, suddenly his feet were wrong, his hands were clenched, and there was obviously nothing in his palm, but he seemed to have a knife in his palm.
The light of heaven seemed to condense into his hand at this moment.
Followed by a roar of rage, with a sudden swing, an invisible sword suddenly fell.
The man in black who had already reached the place close at hand was immediately split in two by this knife, but the knife was endless, all the way forward, sneering, and after slashing three people in succession, the man in black who was the leader took a step sideways, and the blade grazed his chest and slashed into the forest, gradually falling into nowhere.
"What a delicate knife technique......"
The black-clothed man at the head looked uncertain in his eyes, but at the same time, the young man seemed to be using too much force, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person was already lying on the ground.
"Arwen!!"
Seeing this, the other boy hurriedly wanted to rush over and bring the boy back.
But the man in black at the head didn't give him a chance.
As soon as he turned his footsteps, and between the changes in his figure, he had already held the young man in his palm.
Turn around:
"Kill!"
An order was given, and a terrible scream suddenly sounded.
The man in black at the head didn't know whether he didn't want to see this bloody scene, or if he deliberately looked in that concave shape, so he didn't look back.
After the screams subsided, he slowly turned back.
What caught my eye was the corpse of a man in black.
When I looked up again, I saw two girls, one on the left and one on the right, each with a sword in their hands, and the blade was still dripping blood.
The pupils of the man in black at the head contracted suddenly.
It wasn't the person on the other side who screamed for a long time, but his own subordinates?
"Who are you?"
He subconsciously asked.
I heard a voice chuckle:
"Can you give me that kid back? I seem to be more in love with him. ”
The black-clothed man at the head was wooden, and when he turned around slowly, he saw a young man walking slowly out of the forest, as if this was not a deep mountain or old forest, but the back garden of a large mansion.
"Who are you?"
The man in black led by him snapped:
"Dare to interfere with our actions?"
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly:
"It's not intentional destruction, it's just that I encountered it on the road, and I can't ignore it.
"Oh yes, haven't answered your question yet.
"In the lower river, the people of the Jiang family of the ancient country of Akiba took their wives and servants to travel in all directions.
"Well, now that my identity is clear, will you be able to put that kid down?"
"Don't you think!!"
Hearing that Jiang Ran wanted this child in his hands one by one, how could the man in black led by him dare to hand it over easily?
The two thin girls slaughtered all their men.
This son-in-law, who doesn't know the depth, doesn't necessarily have any ability.
Now this child is his lifeline, and he can't let go of death.
Therefore, not only did he not let go, but he grabbed the child's throat with his backhand:
"Don't come here, otherwise, as soon as I vomit my internal strength, he will die on the spot!!"
Jiang Ran also nodded good-naturedly:
"That's it, then I'm not going to go."
At this point, before the man in black could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold feeling suddenly swept through his entire arm.
He looked down suddenly, and saw that a long sword had pierced his arm diagonally.
Blood flowed down the tip of the sword.
The black-clothed man at the head reacted for a moment, and only then did he understand what was going on, and he was about to scream, when he saw that the sword shook, and his entire arm had been cut off.
A hand reached out and grabbed the back of the boy's neck.
The figure shook again, and it was already two feet away.
The man in black subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but where could he catch it?
Then came a dangerous instinct that made his scalp tingle, coming from behind.
He turned back sharply, and saw that a little starlight had already arrived in front of him.
Immediately, they tried to block it with one hand, but the sword light pierced his palm in an instant and poked directly into his throat.
The opponent flicked it, and the long sword was pulled out by Ye Jingxue.
With a shake of his hand, the blood on it was suddenly sprinkled on the ground, followed by the sword into its sheath.
The woman holding the child on one side, and the guards were all dumbfounded.
After coming back to his senses, he immediately hurriedly thanked him.
Thank you Jiang Ran and others for saving their lives.
Jiang Ran was not polite and asked where they came from.
The woman claimed that her name was Bai Lu, and that she was the wife of the eldest prince of the Qiu clan, and this child was the eldest grandson of the Qiu clan.
And when Jiang Ran asked about the origin of these killers, Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, and then told Jiang Ran and the others the truth.
These killers are also members of the Qiu clan.
It's just a person in the second room.
The Qiu clan is quite famous in the rivers and lakes of Qingguo.
However, there is a rule in the family inheritance, that is, the elder is not passed on to the young, unless the eldest son has no descendant.
As a result, the contemporary eldest son of the Qiu clan is really no queen.
Therefore, the second son has always been the most vocal successor.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince secretly became close to Bai Lu, and the two gave birth to a son.
In this way, the eldest prince has the right to inherit.
The second room has been regarded as the successor for many years, who would have thought that there would suddenly be such a move, where was the position of the head of the family who was willing to get it, and then took advantage of Bai Lu's return to his hometown to send a killer to kill.
As long as the eldest grandson is dead, or the life and death are unknown.
That's like nothing.
At that time, the position of the head of the family will be the second son's.
That's where we are today.
After Jiang Ran listened, he frowned slightly, the more detailed this woman said, the more purposeful she was.
However, he didn't mind much about this, and just asked the kid named Ah Wen, is he also a member of the Qiu clan?
The answer was no.
Ah Wen is actually the child of the envoy in the courtyard of the eldest prince.
Because he had a good relationship with his brother, he followed him home, but he didn't expect to fall into this fright.
Jiang Ran touched his chin, not surprised, he just wondered:
"A member of the Qiu clan, a child of the next family......
"Who did you learn from...... What about the Star Demon Slash?
"Where does this internal force come from?"
