Chapter 239 : Whether or not Ke Beisheng did what happened to the Zhao family in Guzhang County is irrelevant.
He was able to withstand heavy pursuits and become an old man from a young man, and he even managed to gain the reputation of a strange old man.
You can imagine that it is not easy to meet this person.
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 and took the bottle.
Open the lid, raise your head and swallow the pill inside.
Then he kowtowed heavily and said loudly:
"The world slanders me as a devil, but only the young master is willing to give me a chance to defend myself.
" Ke Beisheng is willing to follow the young master! "
Jiang Ran glanced at him. If he were just starting out, he might have believed this sentence directly. But
now, the more experience he has in the world, the more complicated his mind becomes.
It is already difficult to trust others.
This It's not that what Ke Beisheng said is false, it's just that it's hard to tell the truth from the false in this world. It's not important what you say, but what you do is important.
Jiang Ran nodded lightly:
"Okay.
Then he looked up at the others present and said,
"What do you think? " "
At this point, the question is actually somewhat unnecessary. He has already taken care of it, so who has the right to comment on it?
Dong Qingcheng nodded:
"Everything depends on Daxia Jiang. "
That's good. " "
Jiang Ran smiled.
Ye Jingxue couldn't help but said:
"I haven't spoken yet..."
"You listen to me. "
Jiang Ran glanced at her.
Ye Jingxue was speechless for a while, feeling that Jiang Ran really didn't treat him as an outsider.
Then Jiang Ran untied Ke Beisheng's acupuncture points and pushed him to bleed.
Don't look at Jiang Ran That punch seemed to just pin him to the ground. The power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Fist had actually penetrated the muscles and bones. If you didn't understand the meaning, these injuries would gradually break out in the past few days, and it would be completely hopeless. Now there
are Jiang Ran helped to adjust it, and there was no problem.
After finishing this matter, everyone gathered together to explain the reason. The
Liedao Sect was going to Jinyang Mansion this time, and it was because of the training of the sect. Dispatch.
The reason is very simple. Several old demons have reappeared in the world in recent days and have appeared in Jinyang Mansion. Therefore, the sect sent them to investigate. Not only
Liedao sect, according to Dong Qingcheng, This trip is not a small matter.
In addition to the Lie Dao Sect, people from the other six sects and even Dao Yizong will also be present.
Before leaving, the sect ordered them to stay in Guzhang County in Jinyang Mansion. Meet up and rush to Jinyang Mansion together.
Jiang Ran has seen the map and knows that Guzhang County is only three days away from Jinyang Mansion at most. It
is indeed a relatively close place.
But the seven sects are scattered from north to south, east to west, Liedaomen is Bian first went to Guzhang and then to Jinyang.
However, some sects went to Jinyang first and then to Guzhang.
It would be a waste of time if they bypassed Jinyang Mansion and then walked three days to meet in Guzhang County. .
Mindful of this, it makes people feel that there are some problems in Guzhang County itself.
However, Jiang Ran did not say anything about this matter clearly, and just nodded:
"I happen to have something to go to Jinyang Mansion. If you are willing, We can walk together for a while. "
Dong Qingcheng agreed immediately, as if he was afraid of Jiang Ran's retort.
As he was speaking, someone from Lie Dao Sect let out a muffled groan. It was the one who was injured before. Dong Qingcheng pushed him and caused blood, but now It seems that he still can't suppress it.
"Junior brother Zhou. "
Dong Qingcheng's expression changed, and he came forward to feel his pulse.
Others looked at Ke Beisheng angrily.
Ke Beisheng stood with his hands behind his back and snorted:
"What are you looking at? Old Liehuo almost killed me. I was just venting his anger on his disciples, and I didn't really kill you..." "
Huh, Moli Weisou, he has a great reputation, but he is as timid as a mouse. .
"The Patriarch has a grudge against you. You don't dare to look for the Patriarch. You only dare to cause trouble for us juniors."
Someone finally couldn't help but retorted.
But one sentence touched Ke Beisheng's sore spot.
Grandmaster Liehuo's knife back then really made him worse than death, and he suffered for many years.
To this day, I still have attacks of fire poison from time to time, causing splitting headaches.
Not only did this knife almost kill him, it also left him with a huge psychological shadow. Although his martial arts had improved over the years, he still did not dare to seek revenge from Grandmaster Liehuo.
Now that the junior from the Fierce Sword Sect had taken off the fig leaf with just one sentence, he suddenly felt that he couldn't keep it on his face.
There was murderous intent in his eyes:
"What you just said, do you dare to say it again?"
People in the Fierce Knife Sect also have fierce temperaments, and soft words can make them calm down. Once they are intensified, they will be sultry with flames.
The young man immediately sneered, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Ran shout softly:
"That's enough."
"Master Jiang..."
The disciple of the Fierce Sword Sect glanced at Jiang Ran, took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger.
Jiang Ran glanced at Ke Beisheng and shook his head gently:
"There is nothing wrong in what they said. If you are angry and unjust, you can go to the Patriarch of Fire to avenge you. It is not only pointless to attack his disciples and disciples for nothing, but it is also useless. He lost his identity.
"Did this brother fall into your trap? "
Ke Beisheng could show his teeth to the people of the Fierce Knife Sect, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous towards Jiang Ran. He
immediately nodded honestly:
"That's right, he was hit by my [Three-section Vein-locking Finger], and the finger strength is lingering. If you go, it will be painful.
"This finger power is my unique technique. It is difficult for others to relieve it. It will take seven days of pain in my feet before it will dissipate on its own." "Is it possible to unlock it
?"
"Of course it is possible."
Jiang Ran looked at Dong Qingcheng after hearing this:
"Brother Dong, let's not care about what happened back then.
"Now that Ke Beisheng is sitting with me, for my sake, please give him a chance to resolve this grudge.
"What would Brother Dong think if one day the truth about the past is revealed and we can discuss matters as they happen?"
Dong Qingcheng frowned when he heard this.
It feels like Jiang Ran has taken advantage of everything he said...
Now that Ke Beisheng is under Jiang Ran's seat, things in the past can no longer be ignored.
In the future, if what happened back then were revealed to the world, they would still have to settle the accounts...
But then I thought about it, what if it was really the Lie Dao Sect that was at fault for what happened back then, or maybe the world was unfair to him, Ke Beisheng.
Then what he has endured over the years was not what he deserved.
It is understandable that people want to settle the score.
He immediately sighed and said,
"Listen to Master Jiang."
"Well, Ke Beisheng, go and untie him."
Jiang Ran said.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Ke Beisheng clasped his fists and agreed, then came to the disciple of the Fierce Sword Sect.
Under the eager gazes of a group of young people, he casually nodded his finger at the Fierce Sword Sect disciple.
The man's pale face suddenly turned red.
However, this finger was not the end. After clicking seven fingers in total, everything ended.
The man may have been in pain for a long time, but now he fell asleep as soon as the severe pain went away.
Ke Beisheng put his hands behind his back and stood behind Jiang Ran.
After such a small episode, no one continued talking.
Now the night is getting darker and everyone is starting to take a rest.
Jiang Ran sat beside the fire, pulling at it to make the flames burn more intensely.
Tang Huayi was lying not far away from him. From time to time he opened one eye and glanced at the opposite side of Jiang Ran. Sitting there was Ye Jingxue.
Ye Jingxue hugged her legs and sat tiredly on the ground with her chin on her knees. She was clearly staring at the flames, but in fact her eyes never left Jiang Ran.
When Jiang Ran looked up occasionally, she pretended not to look at him.
Jiang Ran burst into laughter and said softly:
"If you want to know anything, you can ask me." "
...Many."
Ye Jingxue thought for a moment, and then said:
"But, I don't know where to start asking. ."
"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 remembered that night.
The girl who was in a mess and covered in blood told Ye Jingxue what she saw when she broke into the ruined temple.
Of course, he didn't say that he asked Ye Jingshuang whether he was robbing money or sex.
Jiang Ran also started chatting, recalling every moment since he and Ye Jingshuang got acquainted.
They met for the first time in a ruined temple, saw things in a tea shop, parted ways in Cangzhou, met again at galloping horses, and finally went their separate ways after a good gathering at Hongfeng Villa.
Ye Jingxue listened with great interest, and finally sighed:
"If something hadn't happened to my sister's mentor, I might have been able to see her today.
"Brother Jiang, thank you for saving her.
"A long time had passed when the news of the accident at home reached my ears. "Although I wanted to go down the mountain immediately, the master refused.
"It said that my parents and relatives have been buried by my sister. Even if I return to Hongfeng Villa, I won't see anything.
" He also said that this matter is deep and complicated, not just Tong Wanli and Wuxin Guifu as mentioned in my sister's letter. , and there is a bigger shadow hanging behind.
"If I want to avenge Hongfeng Villa, I should come to Jinyang Mansion.
" Only when the great revenge is avenged can I go back to pay tribute to the descendants of the Ye family.
"That's why...I have this career now.
" "I didn't expect that I would meet you just right." Jiang
Ran smiled and shook his head:
"You're not polite, pretending to be your sister when we meet?" "
Ye Jingxue smiled and said:
"I've heard your name so much that my ears have grown calluses. As soon as I saw the jade pendant on your waist today and heard your Shuang'er calling so affectionately, I naturally recognized your identity. .
"Then I wanted to know if you could recognize that I'm not my sister.
"I didn't expect that you really recognized me.
"But now that I think about it, I don't think it's strange anymore... You have experienced so many things together, so you must be very familiar with each other.
"It's not like my dad... who can't see my sister and I all year round.
"From now on... we will never see each other again."
When she said this, her expression turned gloomy. Maybe she had already shed the tears she should have shed, or maybe she didn't want to cry in front of Jiang Ran, a familiar stranger. tears.
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, and did not say anything to comfort him. He just added a piece of firewood to make the flame burn a little more vigorously, and then said, "Go to
bed early."
Ye Jingxue didn't want to sleep, so she sniffed and spoke again. Taking a deep breath, he tilted his head and looked at Jiang Ran:
"Did sister tell you about me?"
"Yes."
"What did she say about me?"
"You said you were sensible and smart since you were a child."
In fact, Ye Jingshuang and Jiang Ran rarely mentioned Ye Jingxue, and they never said such words as 'sensible and smart since childhood'.
It’s just that you can’t say that.
"Seriously?"
Ye Jingxue's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Sister is the smart one, I'm just luckier."
Jiang Ran glanced at her and didn't ask further questions.
Ye Jingxue didn't know what was coming to her mind and didn't continue talking.
On the other hand, Tang Huayi, who had been peeking, suddenly started looking openly.
There were thousands of words I wanted to say, but due to my identity as 'Li Tianxin', I couldn't say a single word, so I had to turn over hard with a dark face, then close my eyes hard, and sleep hard.
Jiang Ran glanced at her, and for some reason the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
The night was spent in silence, which was quite uneventful.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up and packed up the pots and cooked rice.
It can be seen that the members of the Fierce Knife Sect, including Hu Nan, were not very good at eating and drinking along the way.
In the eyes of Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi, they all ate Li Tianyu's delicious breakfast with gusto... as if they were some delicacy and praised it repeatedly.
This also greatly increased Li Tianyu's confidence and decided to explore this matter in depth.
After breakfast, everyone continued their journey.
None of the disciples of the Fierce Sword Sect were riding horses, so they used Qinggong to rush on their way.
Ye Jingxue originally wanted to sit in Jiang Ran's carriage, but then she lifted the door curtain and took a look, then sat silently on the roof of the carriage.
I really don’t want to sit with those heads.
He couldn't help but say to Jiang Ran:
"Brother Jiang, if you don't need this carriage in the future, don't sell it."
"Why?"
Jiang Ran asked casually.
"Too wicked..."
Ye Jingxue muttered and sat cross-legged.
Dong Qingcheng felt that Ye Jingxue's words were reasonable. This carriage, which had been loaded with people's heads, still smelled of corpses, so it was not suitable to sell it to anyone.
Jiang Ran smiled again:
"Okay, there's no need to look back, I'll dismantle the car to light the fire."
In the end, Ke Beisheng and Li Tianyu drove the carriage one by one, Ye Jingxue sat on the roof, and the others' mounts remained unchanged.
The group of people rushed towards Guzhang County.
The journey this way is really not short, it takes almost half a month.
As time goes by, the deeper the winter, the colder it feels.
The group also changed into thick winter clothes.
The disciples of the Fierce Sword Sect all wore cloaks with black background and red stripes.
Jiang Ran glanced at it and felt that it looked familiar. Finally, it suddenly dawned on him that if it was a stand-up collar... wouldn't it be the Akatsuki organization?
Although he himself had profound internal strength and was immune to cold and heat, he also changed his clothes in order not to stand out from the crowd.
It was a set of cyan gowns that Tang Huayi chose for him. It was tied around the waist and his body was tall and straight. Coupled with his somewhat rosy face. When he came out of the clothing store, he was watched by the girls on the street for a long time. .
Although it is said that men and women are heavily guarded in this era, it doesn't matter if they just move their eyes but don't do anything.
Therefore, the gaze is particularly intense.
Jiang Ran almost felt embarrassed.
Along the way, Dong Qingcheng and the others finally understood how Jiang Ran got the head in the carriage.
They were extremely surprised when they faced the first wave of desperadoes who rushed up to snatch Jiaowei.
He wanted to make peace with her in nice words, but when he found that the other party was completely unmoved, he drew his sword in anger.
After the second wave, they became relatively calm.
Later, it became accustomed to it.
And these disciples from famous and upright families have very strong learning ability. They can even go to clean the battlefield with Li Tianyu and collect the broken silver and pills.
There were also a few who were able to identify the wanted criminals and quickly cut off their heads and threw them into the carriage.
Dong Qingcheng didn't take it seriously at first. After a while, he found that his juniors were becoming more and more proficient, and he felt something was wrong.
Fortunately, Guzhang County was already in sight at this time, otherwise he would be worried that if things continued like this, his junior brother would have to learn from Jiang Ran how to preserve human heads.
This is not the same as walking with Jiang Ran. This is Jiang Ran training swordsmen here.
...
...
Guzhang County is not that big.
The location is also quite remote and does not occupy a transportation hub, so there are not many people.
When you set foot in the county, you feel quite deserted.
There were very few pedestrians on the street.
Occasionally, I see a few people who pass by in a hurry with their hands in their sleeves.
Dong Qingcheng had been here before and first led everyone to a place called Yunxiang Inn.
But the door of the inn was closed, and some people were surprised:
"Is it closed?"
"There is someone inside."
Dong Qingcheng said loudly:
"Knock on the door, it must be too cold, so they are making a living behind closed doors."
Even if Someone from the Fiery Knife Sect went up to knock on the door.
Sure enough, footsteps arrived in a moment, the door creaked open, and a head sneakily poked out:
"Who is it?"
Seeing the group of people in front of the door, he was shocked:
"This... you are... Should we stay in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
Ajian means having a meal and then leaving, so there is no need to say more about staying in a hotel.
"Stay in the hotel."
Dong Qingcheng said, "Are there enough guest rooms?"
"Yes!"
The waiter's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly opened the door and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this has happened recently. The weather has been getting colder and colder in the past few days.
"The cold wind made me feel uncomfortable, so I closed the door. "
As he was talking, someone inside yelled, "Why did you open the door? Hurry up and close the door to freeze to death."
The waiter in the shop was not afraid, and turned around to say a few words.
There are so many of them, and they live directly in the building of the inn. Obviously I couldn't live in it.
Fortunately, the inn was very big and there was a yard behind it, so Jiang Ran and the others asked for a small yard to rest. The
second brother suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Looking at Jiang Ran, he thought it was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.
Jiang Ran just He asked casually:
"Brother, have you seen a group of guests like us recently wearing the same clothes? "
Yes." "
The second brother answered without thinking.
Dong Qingcheng was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the appearance of the inn, he thought they were the first ones to arrive. He
immediately asked:
"Where are they now?
"A group of guests came here a few days ago. They were all wearing the same clothes. Oh, by the way, they all had a mountain embroidered on their sleeves. "
"But they went out last night and haven't come back until now."
