Hearing this answer, Suzaku glanced at Meng Ran seriously, as if he was shocked by Meng Ran's attitude.

If a normal person encounters such a situation, he will either desperately defend himself and tell his innocence, or bow down and beg for mercy on his knees.

Only Meng Ran was fearless, and he admitted this trumped-up charge very frankly.

Suzaku looked at the hairy boy with red lips and white teeth and a handsome appearance in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then you can prepare and go to Zhenzhou in Lingnan Province with shackles and shackles tomorrow, where the climate is hot, I hope you can adapt." ”

After dropping these words, Suzaku slowly got up and walked towards the open window, looking like he was leaving.

Meng Ran hurriedly called out to Suzaku and said, "Lord Nangong, please stay." ”

Suzaku stopped, looked at Meng Ran with an indifferent expression, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng Ran saluted Suzaku and said in a respectful tone: "The juniors don't dare, the juniors just want to do their best for the adults, please fulfill them." ”

"Oh, are you showing loyalty to me?" Suzaku's eyes were very playful, and he said lightly: "You are just a prisoner, what can you do for me?"

Meng Ran said without humility or arrogance: "It's just that the adults have been delayed here for so long. ”

Suzaku's eyes shot out two fine lights, and said: "Then tell me, if it is in line with my heart, I will spare you, if it is not in line with my heart, then obediently go to Zhenzhou to report." ”

Meng Ran coughed lightly and said slowly: "Since my lord is willing to say so many things to me, it is naturally not to exile me to Zhenzhou, as for what else is there, I really can't figure it out, please let my lord know." ”

For such a simple analysis, Suzaku bowed slightly, and said, "In that case, how about I change your name?"

Meng Ran looked at Suzaku in disbelief, "Huh?"

Suzaku ignored Meng Ran's strange expression and continued: "From now on, your name is Sun Yiming, and you are the general banner of my Emperor's City Division Shadow Guard. ”

Listening to this categorical and non-refusable tone, Meng Ran knew that if he refused, he was afraid that he would really go to Zhenzhou, so he had to respond in a low voice: "Sun Yiming has seen adults. ”

Seeing Meng Ran like this, Suzaku didn't intend to embarrass him, and said softly: "You are still you in front of people, and you are the general banner of my Shadow Guard after people, understand?"

Meng Ran replied heavily.

Suzaku looked at the rather funny boy again and walked out of the room with a smile on his face.

When Meng Ran looked up, he was the only one left in the room, and gusts of autumn wind poured in from the window, blowing him cold.

It turned out that in the short time in the past, he had already sweated profusely.

......

When Suzaku returned to the roof of the inn, Nangong Lingguang looked at his playful boss helplessly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, why do you have to ask this kid to join our Shadow Guard? ”

Suzaku smiled lightly, glanced at his right-hand man, and said, "It doesn't matter if it's sweet or not, I just want to twist it." ”

Nangong Lingguang smiled dumbly, not knowing what to say.

"By the way, check what the origin of this Meng Ran is, his knife skills are good. Suzaku restrained his smile and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes. Nangong Lingguang responded and asked, "Do you want to check those servants?"

Suzaku hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "No need, I'm afraid there are some problems with the background of those people, it's better for us to have more than one thing, just check the kid surnamed Meng, if you have a clean background, take care of it, you may not be a capable person." ”

Nangong Lingguang snorted, and asked tentatively: "Then are you leaving for Beijing?" I think the other two adults have already set off, if you don't arrive at that time, I'm afraid it will be a little unreasonable." ”

Suzaku gently tapped the palm of his left hand with the ivory folding fan in his hand, looking hesitant.

After a long time, Suzaku slowly spoke: "In this way, you go to investigate Meng Ran's background first, I will wait for you here, and then we will return to the capital together." ”

Nangong Lingguang heard his boss's decision, he breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and responded: "Please wait for good news, and your subordinates will retire." ”

Suzaku waved his hand very casually, and then his feet moved, and the white figure fluttered away in the dark night.

After the Suzaku disappeared into the night, Nangong Lingguang's eyebrows were gloomy again, and he lost a little bit of his previous vitality.

The night was vast, and the Nangong Mausoleum on the eaves looked at the disappeared figure for a long time, with a faint trace of care and admiration in his eyes.

......

After saying that, after Suzaku left, Meng Ran stared at the token in his hand for a while, wanting to lose it but not daring, but it was really hot in his hand.

After thinking about it, Meng Ran finally stuffed the hot potato in his hand into his arms.

After Meng Ran invited the four people outside the door into the room, Fan Wuji took the lead in asking, "Meng boy, how can you have anything to do with the people of the Emperor, City, and Shadow Guards? Those people eat people and don't spit out bones." ”

Meng Ran smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything about the treacherous thing that happened just now, but said softly: "Third Uncle Fan said that you laughed, that adult just asked me about something, not what you thought." ”

Geng Huyuan took over and asked, "But what about that token?"

"Well, I've already paid it back. Meng Ran didn't know how to explain what had just happened, so he had to lie and said, "That lord tracked it down here, took the token back and left, thinking that it would never appear again." ”

The four of them all breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

In fact, it's funny, among these four people, Fan Wuji's net worth is the most innocent, but he is also afraid of the group of eagle dogs of the Emperor, City, and Division, as for the reason, outsiders don't know.

Geng Huyuan doesn't need to mention much, a proper wanted criminal in the imperial court, once he is caught, he will be dead.

As for Lin Chong and Hua Rong brothers, before they defected to Jiaxing Zhixian, they were grass cowards in the Xiaoao Mountain Forest, and after meeting the people of the Imperial City Division Shadow Guard, they were naturally as panicked as the mouse who saw the cat.

After Meng Ran said this, he couldn't help touching his nose, and this action was seen by Geng Huyuan.

Geng Huyuan forcibly held back the shock in his heart, and showed a sudden expression, looking like he had nothing to do with him.

After Hua Rong, Lin Chong and Fan Wuji returned to the room to rest, Geng Huyuan looked at Meng Ran with a solemn face and asked in a deep voice, "Meng Ran, do you have something to say to me?"

Meng Ran smiled bitterly, and did not rush to tell the truth of the matter, but went to close the doors and windows first.

When Meng Ran returned to the table, he reached into his arms with a solemn face and took out the token of the Shadow Guard General Banner.

The moment he saw the token, Geng Huyuan's face was very ugly, and then he sighed with relief and asked, "The one who asked you to join the Shadow Guard?"

Meng Ran snorted sullenly and said softly, "If I don't join, I'm afraid I'll be convicted of stealing the Shadow Guard token and exile me to Zhenzhou, Lingnan Province." ”

"So you agreed?" asked Geng Huyuan.

"Yes. ”

Meng Ran's face was very ugly, after all, he had just been forced to join the Shadow Guard of the Emperor's City Division that he didn't want to join.

Originally, he thought that Geng Huyuan would be furious, but he didn't expect him to just pat Meng Ran's shoulder lightly and said with relief: "It's okay, with this identity, maybe you can save your life in the future, and you don't need to worry too much." ”

Meng Ran nodded and said with a wry smile: "As soon as I came up, I was the seat of the general flag, I really looked up to me, it seems that my wish to wear the Flowing Wind Knife in the past will come true." ”

Geng Huyuan was amused by Meng Ran's words.

In the following time, the two of them talked some inconsequential nonsense.

......

After the Madao people left the inn, they walked in the direction of the Ji family without hurrying.

I didn't see how he moved, he had already crossed the streets and alleys, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the street where Ji's house was located.

There was an anxious man standing at the gate of the Ji family, who was the second housekeeper of the Ji family, surnamed Zheng, and known as Steward Zheng.

Steward Zheng paced a few steps in place, and in a trance he caught a glimpse of the oncoming Madao man, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "Mr. Ma, where are the big butlers?"

Ma Daoren shook his head and said, "The big housekeeper is dead, and the corpse is behind." ”

"What, the big butler is dead?" Steward Zheng looked at Ma Daoren with a surprised face, and asked in a hissed voice, "How could such a thing happen if Mr. made a move?"

Ma Daoren glanced at Steward Zheng and reprimanded, "What? Do I need to explain to you?"

Steward Zheng didn't even dare to say it, and hurriedly said: "The head of the family is waiting for you in the study, saying that you will be notified to go after you come back." ”

Ma Daoren hummed without being salty, and directly crossed Steward Zheng and entered the gate of the Ji family.

After the Madao man walked away, the sad Steward Zheng glanced around, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was an indescribable sense of pride.

......

In the study of the head of the Ji family, the Ma Dao people sat opposite the head of the Ji family, whose real name was Ji Ying.

Ji Ying asked bluntly: "Sir, can you settle the promise on this trip?"

The Ma Dao man shook his head and said with a little guilt: "It has not been resolved." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Ji Ying paused for a moment and continued to ask, "Could it be that that young man has some great family background?"

Ma Daoren continued to shake his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the details of that kid, but his subordinates are real martial arts masters, and he is only a thin line away from the human fairyland, and even crossing the human fairyland is just a matter of lifting his feet." ”

"What?" Ji Ying's expression was very surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "Which is stronger or weaker between that gentleman and that martial arts great master?"

Ma Dao Man said slowly: "I fought with him just now, if you want to kill him, you must at least pay the price of serious injuries." If he recovers from his injuries, he will be better than me. ”

"That Martial Arts Grandmaster is injured now?" Ji Ying asked with burning eyes.

The head of the Madao man said yes.

Ji Ying's expression showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he asked in a gloomy tone: "Then should we invite the old ancestor out of the customs?"

Sen Sen's murderous aura permeated the study, and it was obvious that the head of the Ji family had already started to kill.

Ma Daoren shook his head lightly and persuaded: "Family master, I don't think there is any need for this, that young man is very measured and principled, and he will definitely not make any excessive demands."

Instead of making a bad fuss, it is better to make a good fate, let the Ji family have one more friend, and maybe there will be one more way in the future. ”

Ji Ying's face was gloomy, silently considering the Ma Dao man's suggestion.
