By the time Meng Ran opened his eyes, the sun had already crossed the midheaven slightly, heading towards the west. He touched his growling belly and slowly left the bed.

A cup of cold tea was down, and the whole person was a little sober.

He tidied up his clothes, and then went out to find Geng Nursing Home.

'Knock knock' twice, and before he could knock on it for the third time, Geng Huyuan had already opened the door, revealing a radiant cheek.

"Young master, are you awake, are you hungry?"

Meng Ran nodded, "I'm hungry, let's go eat something." ”

"You go into the room and wait a while, I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring the food. ”

After Geng Huyuan finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the stairs.

After a while, Geng Huyuan returned to the room, followed by the shopkeeper, who was holding all kinds of meals in his hands.

After the meal was served, it was a storm.

After eating and drinking, Meng Ran sat on the chair and looked lazy.

Geng Huyuan sat down next to him and asked, "Young Master, what are we doing in the afternoon?"

"In the afternoon, how are we going next?" Meng Ran asked rhetorically.

Geng Huyuan thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go north to Suzhou directly." ”

"Hmm, how far is it?"

"Two hundred miles. ”

Meng Ran reached out and touched his forehead, "It's a little far, why don't you rest in Jiaxing for a day?"

Geng Huyuan nodded slightly, "Then rest for a day and set off tomorrow morning." ”

"Good. ”

"Are you going out that afternoon?"

"Naturally, I had to go out and mail letters. ”

Geng Huyuan patted his head, "yes, I almost forgot." ”

Meng Ran smiled at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Uncle Geng, what about your family?"

"Dead. ”

Looking at Geng Huyuan with a calm face, Meng Ran's heart overflowed with a trace of remorse, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Geng Huyuan waved his hand, "It's okay, it's been dead for many years." ”

"Well..."

After that, the two didn't talk again, just enjoying the slightly sleepy feeling after the meal.

After a long time, when the sunlight could shine into the house, Geng Huyuan got up and came to the window, pushed the west-facing window open, and saw a strong light spilling into the room, and the interior of the room was instantly much brighter, and the eyes of the people who were shaking were a little uncomfortable.

Meng Ran stood up from his seat and said, "Uncle Geng, let's go out." ”

"Good. ”

The two put their luggage in the room and went out with only two knives.

Geng Huyuan first asked someone for directions, and then took Meng Ran to the post station in Jiaxing City, preparing to go there to send the letter.

Jiaxing City is worthy of being a county, and the two crossed most of the city before coming to the post station.

After a simple registration, Meng Ran left the letter, and then paid and left.

In the afternoon, the streets are bustling with people, walking along the streets, and the cries are endless.

Meng Ran walked in the crowd, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, in the past, he was like this in Lin'an City, but at that time he was accompanied by everyone, but now it is deserted, and only Geng Huyuan is alone.

Just as Meng Ran was immersed in his memories, suddenly there was an untimely shouting sound on the street in front of him, pulling him back to reality, and then he saw the people around him quicken their pace and run towards the front, and vaguely heard someone say, "What happened here?" Could it be that the scourge is going out again?"

"I guess so, but I don't know which girl is going to suffer. ”

"Alas, it's thanks to a boy born in my family, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to live this day. ”

"Yes, the one who gave birth to the girl poured blood mold. ”

......

Meng Ran heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but be a little curious, he was about to walk forward with the flow of people, but was stopped by Geng Huyuan.

He looked at Geng Huyuan with a puzzled expression, and asked softly, "Uncle Geng, what's wrong?"

"Don't go, it's probably a trick for a gentleman to tease a woman. ”

"What?" Meng Ran shook off Geng Huyuan's hand, "Since you have met it, how can you stand idly by?"

"Young Master..."

Before Geng Huyuan's words were finished, Meng Ran had already left in a hurry, but in the blink of an eye, he coincided with those figures and disappeared from Geng Huyuan's sight.

Meng Ran stood in the crowd, looked in the middle, and saw three entourages standing in the circle, arrogantly blocking the onlookers, and a half-dead old man was lying in the open space behind the three of them, and there was a white figure next to the old man, he was pressed against a delicate body, and the two almost overlapped.

Meng Ran grasped the scabbard with his left hand and took a step forward, the people around him seemed to sense some kind of crisis, and suddenly took a few steps back, and the circle suddenly became very large, enclosing Meng Ran inside.

One of the attendants narrowed his eyes, touched the long knife on his waist, and scolded coldly: "Boy, are you going to commit murder on the street? Do you still have a royal law in your heart? Don't you know how to write dead characters?"

Meng Ran didn't have any nonsense at this time, and rushed over directly.

His figure flashed, and the single knife in his hand had already slashed at the head of the attendant, and when he was about to fall, he only heard a loud shout from behind him, "Absolutely not." ”

Meng Ran flicked his wrist, the blade was as good as cutting the man's bun, and the long hair of his entourage was already scattered in the cool autumn breeze, his face turned pale, and then he fell to the ground, and a little liquid dripped from his crotch onto the street.

The remaining two attendants glanced at each other and slowly pushed forward with horns.

Meng Ran was about to continue to move, and Geng Huyuan had already jumped to his side.

Just when the two sides were confronting, the figure in white who was tearing the woman's clothes on the ground stood up, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you two want to live?"

Meng Ran glanced at the boy and brother, he always felt a little familiar, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold tone: "Now there are both the wolf guards of the Imperial City Division and the sergeants of the Zhichong Mansion in the city, do you dare to act like this, are you not afraid of losing your head?"

The disheveled childe laughed unscrupulously, and said in his mouth: "That's because you don't know who this son is, and this son is..."

Meng Ran interrupted: "I'm not interested in knowing who you are, I only know that if you don't leave, the knife in my hand will eat meat." ”

The boy was so angry that he was about to step forward to teach Meng Ran a lesson, but he was stopped by his entourage, and the entourage shook his head at him slightly, so he didn't insist anymore, but just showed a fierce expression, "Boy, you wait, I will let you see the end of being nosy." ”

With that, the boy and brother walked away, followed by three followers.

At this moment, the disheveled woman threw herself on the old man lying on the ground, and began to cry hoarsely.

Meng Ran was a little at a loss, Geng Huyuan lost a reassuring look, then took a few steps forward, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and wanted to hand it to the woman, but the woman just cried blindly and did not reach out to take it.

Geng Huyuan had no choice but to put the silver on the ground, and then left in a hurry with Meng Ran.

After the two returned to the inn, Geng Huyuan urged Meng Ran to pack his things immediately, intending to leave the city immediately.

"Why are you in a hurry? I didn't do anything wrong. ”

"Yes, you're not wrong, and no one says you're wrong, but for the sake of unnecessary trouble, let's go quickly. ”

Meng Ran took his things sullenly, and was pushed downstairs by Geng Huyuan.

After the two of them had settled their accounts, when they were about to go out, seven or eight murderous figures rushed into the inn and surrounded the two of them tightly.

Geng Huyuan frowned, and asked lightly, "Everyone, are you looking for the wrong person?"

A tall middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, his face sank, and he scolded loudly: "You are looking for you." Take it down for me. ”

With a wave of his hands, the men immediately rushed over.

Geng Huyuan and Meng Ran had no choice but to draw their knives to deal with it.

The two of them knocked down those people at the cost of minor injuries, and as soon as they stepped out of the inn door, they heard a crisp applause, and the person who applauded was the previous son.

He sat on a chair in the middle of the road, with more than a dozen Zhichong Mansion sergeants standing beside him, and said with disdain: "The two of you are really good at defeating my family's subordinates so easily, but if you want to leave, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”

Meng Ran smiled coldly, "You are not stupid, you know that you are a waste, and you specially found a sergeant from Zhechong Mansion to work for you, so that you don't have any worries, and you can save money and worry, I have to say, you are still a little brainy." ”

The white-clothed boy laughed angrily, "I don't know what you're talking about, I just know that you committed murder in the street and were caught by the patrol sergeant of Zhichong Mansion." ”

As soon as the words fell, those sergeants were eager to try, holding the hilt of the knife tightly in their hands, waiting for the order from Brother Gongzi.

Seeing such a scene, Geng Huyuan, who knew that it was difficult to be good, turned his head and glanced at Meng Ran, and said in a low voice: "Young master, it's time to work hard, you can't be soft now." Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. ”

Meng Ran nodded slightly, and said coldly: "I know, it's nothing more than taking this life." ”

After that, the boy waved his hand, and the sergeants of the Chong Mansion drew their swords one after another and rushed towards the two.

Geng Huyuan pulled Meng Ran into the inn and used the terrain to start a battle.

As soon as the two entered the lobby, they lifted a table and threw it towards the door, and in an instant, they had already injured a sergeant, and the two took this opportunity to rush and kill, cutting two or three people.

However, in a few rounds, there were two figures lying on the threshold of the inn, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

When Geng Huyuan and Meng Ran rushed to the bottom of the stairs, they suddenly heard a whirring wind, and the two looked back, only to see a bench appear in the air, about to hit the two of them, they slashed with their knives, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Taking advantage of this time, the sergeant of Zhichong Mansion had already caught up.

The two of them paid a certain price before retreating steadily to the stairs. As for the price, it was four or five more knife wounds on the two of them.

The two fought and retreated, taking advantage of the narrow space of the staircase and the condescending terrain to launch a brazen counterattack.

In just three rounds, he knocked down the two of them, but Geng Huyuan was also stabbed in the leg, and blood gushed out.

Meng Ran supported the Geng Guardian who was about to collapse, while the people of Zhichong Mansion stared closely at the two people on the stairs, and neither side was willing to take the lead in attacking.

The sergeants of Zhichong Mansion did not want to suffer any more casualties, they just wanted to wait for their work, and wanted to exhaust the strength of the two, and Meng Ran did not dare to act rashly, so they could only wait for a miracle to come.

The two sides are at a stalemate.
