Chapter 206: Murderous Intent at Night
The light of the flame pushed away the dark night.
The sizzling hare exudes an alluring aroma.
Hua Yuerong couldn't help but swallow softly.
But when she saw the human head placed next to the fire, wrapped in white and still bleeding, she felt that she wasn't too hungry.
Jiang Ran gently turned the hare in his hand and said softly:
"You were not poisoned, but injured in a weird way.
" This injury is weird. If you don't understand the reason, there is no way to treat it.
"Who did it?"
Jiang Ran accepted the task of sending Hua Yuerong home.
There is no other reason, because it is along the way.
She has to go left and right, and, just like Hua Yuerong said, she has no ability to protect herself now, and she has no way to really let it go.
Save people to the end and send Buddha to the West.
Where are the halfway answers?
Even if Jiang Ran's original purpose was just to kill Bai Xichao and take his head in exchange for a reward.
But the people who were rescued could not be left to fend for themselves.
"I don't know."
Hua Yuerong shook her head:
"Today on the way home, these people suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, they started fighting.
"Although I have several servants at home, I am no match for them. .
"In the end, I was injured by a man in black and couldn't move. If Granny Zhang hadn't tried her best to rescue me, I might have been dead for a long time."
Granny Zhang?
Jiang Ran thought of the old woman with a stern face and nodded slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"Then have you ever heard of... Friends of the Setting Sun?"
"Friends of the Setting Sun?"
Hua Yuerong was a little confused after hearing this: "I really don't know about this... But when it comes to talking about the Setting Sun If so, I can think of the Setting Sun Gate that suddenly appeared recently."
"Tell me about it."
Jiang Ran glanced at Hua Yuerong.
After Hua Yuerong hesitated for a moment, he then said:
"There are still different opinions on the specific origin of the Setting Sun Sect, and there is no accurate statement.
"Furthermore, this group of people acts mysteriously and rarely shows up. .
"The reason why everyone knows this is because half a year ago, a big demon in the world appeared near Dongjun Mansion.
"Many local sects and aristocratic families went to encircle and suppress this person for the sake of justice in the world, thinking that even if they could not kill him Kill him or at least drive him away to prevent this person from harming the people.
"At that time, we got the news and knew where the devil was. Even though we led the crowd to go, we didn't expect that we were a step too late.
"The devil had been killed... There was a note left on his body that said [For These seven words are Tianxingdao Setting Sun Gate].
"From this, everyone knew that there was another Setting Sun Sect in the world.
"After this, the Setting Sun Sect appeared occasionally to punish rape and eliminate evil, and there were often notes left behind. "
When Jiang Ran heard this, his thoughts changed slightly.
He shook his head slightly:
"I'm afraid this is not a good thing for you, right? "
To be honest, the sudden appearance of an extremely mysterious and elusive force is very detrimental to the original pattern of the surrounding area.
Hua Yuerong glanced at Jiang Ran and nodded lightly:
"Jiang Daxia is transparent, but... Although there are some worries, everything the Setting Sun Sect has done so far has been mostly to maintain the right path.
"So, everyone just let it go, and even if they had doubts and wanted to look for them, they couldn't find any trace of them." The
latter is the real reason for letting things go, right?
Jiang Ran nodded slightly, but he also grasped the key point:
"Mostly to maintain the right path?
" "Is there anything else?"
"...It can't be said that it's not. " "
Hua Yuerong lowered her head and stared at the rabbit in Jiang Ran's hand.
Jiang Ran reached out and broke off a rabbit leg and handed it over.
Hua Yuerong had not eaten a grain of rice from morning to now, so Jiang Ran chased after her. Naturally, he was hungry all afternoon.
After giving Hua Yuerong a leg, he stuck the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, broke off one himself and started eating. He opened the
wine gourd and took another sip.
Just listen to Hua Yuerong say:
"It's just that sometimes the things they do are quite criticized.
"About three months ago, they wiped out a large local family... and gave evidence that this family collaborated with horse thieves in Kanglong Pass to kill people, plunder military pay and weapons, and thus made a fortune." Later,
Jinpen He washed his hands, came to Dongjun Mansion, and suddenly became a rich man.
"But the things committed in the past and the numerous blood debts under my hands cannot be settled like this.
"Therefore, all the people in the family were killed to show that the law of heaven is clear.
"After this incident, everyone felt that the Setting Sun Sect was too ruthless."
"What should I say?"
Jiang Ran frowned and chewed rabbit meat.
I have to say that there is indeed a big gap between his skills and Luo Qingyi's.
Unfortunately, Luo Qingyi was arranged by him to go to the Luohua Yanyu League. For a long time, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat the food he cooked.
Thinking about it this way, I still miss it quite a bit.
"First of all, they killed people first, and then published the evidence.
" Although the evidence has been verified by many parties, it was even found in Ziyue Villa, and was personally inspected by the owner of Meng Villa, and it was confirmed to be correct.
"But after all, the link of public confrontation is missing.
"Human life is at stake, how can we be rash?
"What's more... the Cangyang Sect took action and killed the whole family from top to bottom, leaving no one old, young, women or children alive.
"The method was too cruel. "
When Hua Yuerong said this, a shadow appeared on her face.
Jiang Ran nodded gently:
"The wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow it again.
"Since you want to kill people, you must kill them cleanly... Otherwise, ten or twenty years later, a stupid young man with a deer-headed and rat-like eyes will pop up and take advantage of your daughter, and finally want to kill you for revenge.
" The house is not peaceful and the years are difficult, so why bother? "
Hua Yuerong was stunned, thinking that this Jingshen Sword actually also likes to read story books.
"So, Daxia Jiang agrees with what the Setting Sun Sect is doing? "
She glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her:
"Read it yourself."
Hua Yuerong read the letter under the light of the fire, and her face suddenly became gloomy.
After a moment, she slowly closed her eyes:
"Although I know that this friend of the Setting Sun... may not be a friend of the Setting Sun Sect.
" However, since there is such a signature, the suspicion of the Setting Sun Sect is probably not small.
"But if it was the Setting Sun Sect that attacked me today...
" Then they are obviously not as eager to do justice and uphold justice as they appear now.
"What exactly do they want to do?"
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and took the letter back:
"Who can be a good person if he hides his head but doesn't dare to show up in front of others?
" "Okay, let's take a short rest after eating.
"It's quite inconvenient for you to move now. I'll find a good horse tomorrow, and we have to go as soon as possible.
" Let's meet up with my companions first. "
Thank you, Master Jiang. " "
Hua Yuerong nodded, found a clean place, and curled up.
The weather is cold now, and Hua Yuerong's clothes are quite thin.
Jiang Ran's internal energy is so advanced that he has been protected from the cold and heat for a long time, so naturally he has no protection against the cold. Her clothes were on her body.
So she had to ask her to move forward and get closer to the fire.
Hua Yuerong was very obedient now and leaned forward obediently.
Seeing Jiang Ran sitting on the side, he had no intention of resting at all. Then he asked:
"Master Jiang, don't you want to sleep for a while? "
" In the wilderness, what if I fell asleep and you were picked up by a wolf? Jiang
Ran glanced at her and smiled: "Don't worry about me, just go to sleep." "
Master Jiang..."
Hua Yuerong couldn't help but ask:
"Earlier, why did you save me earlier?" "
Huh? "
Jiang Ran didn't understand the reason for a moment: "What do you mean? " Are you planning on letting me abandon you? "
No...I mean, Bai Xichao gave me that poison...you, you can actually take advantage of it...but you didn't." "
Hua Yuerong stared at Jiang Ran. The little girl had encountered great changes and almost experienced life and death events. Naturally, she had a lot to think about.
Jiang Ran understood what Hua Yuerong meant and couldn't help laughing for a moment.
He comforted her:
"Since I have The method is to avoid doing things that take advantage of others' danger. "
In fact, if he really had no choice, he might just throw her away and ignore her... After killing Bai Xichao, he would come back to determine the life and death of Hua Yuerong. If
she was lucky enough to survive, Then try to find a way to save people.
On the contrary, this is her fate.
All in all, there is no way to let Bai Xichao run away.
"Dragon Jiang, it turns out to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman. "
Hua Yuerong was indeed comforted by Jiang Ran. She slowly closed her eyes and fell into sleep.
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and then made the bonfire bigger. ...
Hua
Yuerong fell asleep . She didn't sleep until she woke up naturally.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Ran gently pushed her shoulders and woke her up.
After opening her eyes, Hua Yuerong first crossed her arms and shivered, and then looked at Jiang Ran in confusion. One glance:
"Master Jiang..."
"Hush, be silent. Jiang
Ran spoke softly.
Hua Yuerong immediately closed her mouth. Although she was a little nervous, she still looked around as calmly as possible.
Then she heard the sound of footsteps, densely packed.
The two people were hiding in the reeds, and the bonfire was already there. It's gone, but the remaining warmth can still be felt.
Apparently Jiang Ran found someone just now and put out the fire.
Even Bai Xichao's head was hung on Jiang Ran's waist.
The person came very quickly Fast, but not directed at them.
In the blink of an eye, he passed by the reed marsh and rushed to another place.
After the group left, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and said,
"Where is that place over there?" ? Hua Yuerong blinked: "
I don't know... I'm lost." "
..."
Jiang Ran felt that this was understandable.
After all, he was led away by Bai Xichao, and then he was knocked unconscious by himself. Although the reed swamp is a quite iconic place, he couldn't
tell the difference . How can we know the destination of this group of people given the circumstances of the east, west, and northwest?
"Dr. Jiang, I think these people are dressed in black and masked. They don't look like they are well-traveled... Us, should we follow them and take a look?" "
Jiang Ran was slightly silent.
In fact, if there was no such thing as the Setting Sun Gate, he would still be unwilling to meddle in his own business with Hua Yuerong as a burden. But since he knows that there is
someone nearby who likes to appear and disappear, it seems that he is here The Setting Sun Sect was doing justice for the sky, but actually it had other mysteries.
Jiang Ran thought that he should go over and have a look before talking.
Then he said to Hua Yuerong,
"It's okay to go, but you have to listen to me. "
Naturally. " "
Hua Yuerong's head was nodding like a chicken eating rice.
Jiang Ran looked at her in surprise and nodded:
"I'm offended. "
Having said this, he grabbed her shoulder. Tiangan took nine steps and flew up directly, following the traces of these men in black. It didn't count where these
people were going. Too far.
Soon, they came to a large manor at the end of the reed marsh.
After Hua Yuerong saw the manor, she suddenly realized:
"This is Wangshui Villa!
"Wangshui Villa? " "
Jiang Ran glanced at Hua Yuerong with some confusion.
Hua Yuerong explained to him:
"I guess Jiang Daxia has never heard of it. Wangshui Villa is the property of the Hu family.
"The Hu family is a well-known family in this small area. There are disciples in the family who are studying among the seven sects. Naturally, the people in the family are getting better and better. "Wangshui Villa is the place where they made their fortune and their ancestors
. The residence is.
"Their family will look back at Water Villa to worship their ancestors on October 23rd.
"By the way, today is October 23rd!
"Disciples of the Hu family from all over the country will return here on this day..."
Jiang Ran's heart moved slightly, and he saw that the group of men in black had stopped moving.
The leader With a wave of his hand, several groups of men in black spread towards both sides of the villa, and in a moment, they surrounded the villa. At this point, the
leader made another gesture.
The next moment, the people surrounding the villa The men in black took out something from their arms.
It was an object that looked like a crossbow.
But it was quite simple.
Now the arrow was stringed, and there was a bamboo tube tied to the arrow.
They raised it at the same time. The object in the hand was pointed diagonally in the air, and with a click of the fingers, a whooshing sound was heard as it shot through the air.
Arrows drew a series of parabolas and landed in the courtyard.
Boom boom boom!!!
The sound of explosions . One after another, the sound was not loud, but there was thick smoke billowing.
In an instant, people in the entire villa suddenly fell on their backs and screamed again and again.
"An enemy is coming!" !
"This thick smoke is weird. Cover your mouth and nose! "
"Who is visiting me at Wangshui Villa? "
"Master, where is the master? " "
There were shouts, but the man in black at the head was unmoved. It
seemed that he had seen such scenes so many times that he was used to it.
With just a wave of his hand, another group of men in black flew over He got up and went directly to various places in the courtyard. In a moment, there were flames shooting into the sky. At
this time, the leader just opened his mouth and shouted coldly:
"Kill! Leave no one behind! ! "
The men in black behind him immediately flew out and broke into the Wangshui Villa from all directions. The
sound of screams could only be heard from the Villa.
Hua Yuerong's face turned pale:
"They... they... Jiang
Ran said softly:
"You wait here, I will save people." "
He searched the surroundings, then flew Hua Yuerong to a big tree and asked her to sit down.
"This place is still far from the villa. As long as you don't make too much noise, I don't expect that the dark Yiren is so capable that he can't even notice your presence. "
Hua Yuerong covered her mouth with both hands and nodded to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran's body flashed like a ghost, and he arrived outside the manor in the blink of an eye.
He jumped to the top of the wall again. Above.
When I came here, I looked down and saw a man in black, hitting a young man who looked like a guardian.
After the palm fell, there were blood marks all over the young man. All over his body.
As his internal energy shook, the man was immediately knocked away by the palm.
While the man was in mid-air, his body was already in pieces.
When Jiang Ran saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened:
"It turns out it's you! ! "
Tang Huayi is actually right. In fact, there are not many people in the world who can use their internal strength to break Jiang Ran into pieces with a single palm.
Jiang Ran can do it because he has deep internal strength.
But if you say casually It is absolutely impossible to pick out a person who is such a master.
Now it seems that the martial arts practiced by this man in black are extraordinary.
The group of guards who look after the house seem to have inhaled the smoke. , resulting in weak hands and weak feet. Seeing the enemy's fierce attack, he did not dare to fight with it, so he turned around and ran away.
The man in black was extremely cold and solemn. When he saw his opponent running away, he showed no sign at all. With just a few steps, his figure was already there. Behind the man,
he reached out and struck with his palm!
Halfway out, a hand suddenly stretched out from the slanting stab.
He grabbed the man's wrist.
Seeing this, the man in black was even more unmoved and wanted to use his backhand. He grabbed Jiang Ran's palm.
However, Jiang Ran grasped it back, and with a slight exertion on his five fingers, he heard a clicking sound.
Under the blessing of Barbarian Dragon Power, the man's palm suddenly deformed.
The ten fingers were connected to the heart, and the severe pain was by no means ordinary. .
Unexpectedly, the man's face remained unchanged, his hands were clear but lifeless, and only the cold murderous intention spread.
He pulled out hard, and found that he couldn't pull out his hand.
Then he took a step, turned his body in the air, With the strength of Jiang Ran's grip on his hand, he heard clicking sounds one after another, but the bones were completely broken. The next moment,
he pulled back violently.
Blood dripped in an instant!
The other person withdrew, but his palm It was still in Jiang Ran's hands.
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment. He had encountered all kinds of disappointments since he came out of the world.
This was the first time he had his hand cut off due to a disagreement... Could it be that this Can a monster be like a gecko, able to regenerate after having its limbs broken off?
As soon as the thought came to mind, the man moved his feet, stepped forward, and raised his arm to stab Jiang Ran hard.
He actually wanted to use his own bones as a sword to kill Jiang Ran. Completely beheaded.
The cold, sharp-looking, but pale and bright red bone stubble reached his neck in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ran exhaled and suddenly flew out with a kick.
The man in black was unexpectedly hit hard. Hit, the whole person immediately flew out in a spin.
Blood spurted out as if it was free of money, but after he landed, he actually wanted to stand up.
But suddenly, there was already more blood in front of him A pair of feet.
Jiang Ran raised his leg, stepped on it, and with a click, the man in black suddenly died.
