Chapter 225.

What happened at Purple Moon Villa was as if it had grown wings, and in the blink of an eye, it traveled all over the East County Palace.

For a moment, the rivers and lakes shook!

Since the Demon Sect was destroyed a hundred years ago, the eighteen Heavenly Demon Records have appeared in the jianghu from time to time.

However, few were able to make such a huge commotion.

Remnant Sun Sect not only inherited a magic skill, but also arrogantly acted, killing fellow Jianghu people one after another.

This really caused public anger.

Therefore, it was not only Dugu Xiong and Lin Evening Yi who wrote letters inviting and mobilizing the experts that came towards Purple Moon Villa in a cloud.

There were also many people who heard the rumors and came to the door on their own.

So much so that within these few short days, Purple Moon Villa was already overcrowded.

Just the things that should be done, also did not stop.

After all, Meng Huan died, the funeral to funeral, the entire Purple Moon Villa up and down all hung on the white damask, the family disciples of all hemp clothes, son and nephew generation is also wearing mourning.

And the period of public transportation of the big event, will be set in the Meng Huan head seven of this day.

The day is coming, early in the morning, Jiang Ran suddenly took Jingtan Jushi, went to visit Mrs. Meng.

……

……

The small courtyard is quiet and elegant.

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Ran’s gaze casually swept around:

“So it turns out that Madam and Master Zhuang, have always lived in separate courtyards.”

Jingtan Jushi glanced at Jiang Ran at his words.

Raising his head again to look at that courtyard, his eyes were again somewhat complicated.

At this exact moment, a maid came over to report:

“Swordsman Jiang, madam has an invitation.”

They came over to visit early in the morning, naturally they couldn’t go in directly, they had to let the maid go in to inform them.

At this time, when they received a response, Jiang Ran looked at the Jingtan Jushi with a smiling face:

“How is Jushi in a good mood?”

“……”

Jingtan Jushi didn’t say a word, indicating that he didn’t want to speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran was even happier and smiled at the maid:

“Please lead the way, sister.”

That maid’s face suddenly blushed.

Looking up at Jiang Ran, she saw Jiang Ran winking at her.

In an instant, what was originally just flushed red at the temples, this time it completely reddened to the roots of her ears, and her neck was covered in an embracing haze.

“Good …… good ……”

The maid responded in a panic, then hurriedly turned toward the courtyard.

The speed was much faster than unusual, as if there was some beast behind her to chase her.

Jiang Ran hurriedly greeted:

“Sister walk slowly, I can’t keep up.”

“…… Young warrior Jiang.”

Jingtan Jushi couldn’t even look at it anymore, you’re a hallowed Jianghu master with world-class martial arts, you can’t keep up with a maid?

“It’s fine it’s fine.”

Jiang Ran laughed, “Tease her.”

“……”

What are you teasing her for!

Jingtan Jushi spat blood in his heart.

But Jiang Ran’s next behavior was quite normal.

Following behind that maid, he entered the courtyard.

Inside the small courtyard was a small gazebo with a pond rockery on one side and goldfish in the water.

Mrs. Meng was standing in front of this small pavilion, waiting quietly.

She looked a little tired, all dressed in mourning, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Looking up at Jiang Ran, her eyes only gave a glance, and then turned to Jing Tan Jushi.

When they looked at each other, Jing Tan Jushi’s eyes became even more complicated.

The first one to misplace her eyes was still Mrs. Meng, and after she moved away slightly, she spoke softly:

“How is it that Jiang Warrior came to visit early in the morning?”

“What kind of words are these, ma’am? What would it look like if I were to visit late at night?”

Jiang Ran took a step to the front and sighed as he looked at Lady Meng:

“I’m afraid it’s only been a bad few days for madam.”

When she heard his first words, Mrs. Meng should have been angered, after all, even if there was no molestation, but in her words, there was also a bit of teasing.

But after hearing the latter words, she was somewhat unable to have an attack.

She could only let out a light sigh:

“The death of the Zhuang Master, I, the undead, naturally feel sad in my heart ……

“Swordsman Jiang, take a seat.”

“Madam please.”

Jiang Ran stretched out his arm as a guide and glanced at the Jingtan Jushi again:

“Jushi also take a seat.”

After seeing this and pondering for a moment, Lady Meng said to her left and right:

“You guys go down first.”

The left and right maids glanced at each other and softly agreed, then turned around and dispersed.

In the pavilion, only Jiang Ran, Mrs. Meng, and Master Jingtan were left in the blink of an eye.

It was only at this point that Jingtan Jushi dared to speak:

“How have you …… been these years?”

When Lady Meng heard these words into her ears, there were some changes in her complexion.

Only after a long time did she slowly open her mouth and say one word:

“Good.”

This word, like a mountain, could press down on a person’s heart and soul.

Jing Tan Jushi’s eyes, all of a sudden, turned red.

He slightly lowered his head and seemed to be laughing at himself.

Following that, he raised his head and said:

“Earlier, you wrote to me, can you still remember?”

“…… remember.”

Mrs. Meng said, “I was seriously ill and didn’t have much time left. When I heard that the Jiao Tail was now in the world, I wanted to catch a glimpse of it. This matter, I should have counted on Meng Huan …… just, just ……”

“Just that he is unwilling?”

Jiang Ran finished for her.

Mrs. Meng nodded:

“Purple Moon Villa, naturally, has Purple Moon Villa’s way of establishing itself in the world.

“Although there is no shortage of people in this Jianghu who like to join in the fun and run to wherever something is going on.

“But there are also people who are well versed in the way to protect themselves in a clear way ……

“In fact, strictly speaking, I am the former.

“Jiang warrior may not know that my mentor is the green sword Xiao Wu Mei among the Tianqing double swords.

“I’ve been practicing swords since I was young, and when I was young, I walked the rivers and lakes together with my senior brother, punishing the evil and promoting the good.”

“En.”

Jiang Ran said, “I know that Madam’s senior brother is the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword Gu Xi Zhi.”

“Warrior Jiang has met my senior brother?”

Lady Meng seemed a bit surprised.

Jiang Ran’s eyebrows twitched:

“In that case, it seems that Madam still doesn’t know that Senior Gu is now at Purple Moon Villa.”

“What?”

Lady Meng looked furiously at Jingtan Jushi.

The Jingtan Jushi nodded his head gently:

“He’s injured and is not in a position to see anyone. He has been recuperating in the small courtyard ……”

“Suffered an injury ……”

Mrs. Meng’s eyes were frustrated:

“How could he be injured? Yes, he this person has always been soft-hearted, even in the face of ten evil people, as long as the other party is truly repentant, he is willing to give a chance.

“He must have been hoodwinked again, which is …… how this was injured ……

“His injury is also certainly extremely serious, otherwise, he will not not come to see me.

“How is he …… how is he?”

Looking up again, Mrs. Meng’s eyes were tearful.

Jiang Ran secretly sighed in his heart, then smiled:

“Mrs. do not worry too much, in the next also slightly proficient in the art of qi and huang, the ancient predecessor’s injuries is the need to do more conditioning, but there is no major obstacle, just for a moment, can not get up and get off the ground just.”

“There are no major hindrances, then …… that’s good.”

When Mrs. Meng said this, she couldn’t help but look at Jingtan Jushi again.

Gently twisting her head, she sighed.

Jingtan Jushi was also silent.

Each of the two side compartments were speechless, Jiang Ran looked at this and that, and had no choice but to unhook a box behind him and place it on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

“Mrs. Meng …… here is entrusted by the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword Ancient Xi Zhi, Yaxin Xiaozhu Jingtan Jushi, to lend you this Jiao Tail Qin for a few days to view.”

“Ah?”

Mrs. Meng, who had originally fallen into silence, seemed to be stunned again upon hearing this.

She looked blankly at Jiang Ran and then at the Jiao Tail in front of her.

“Jiao Tail? Hasn’t it already been lost?”

“It’s not lost, on the Sunset Ping, but it’s just a slight trick. Using this concealment technique, so that this Jiao Tail can stay in my hands in a practical manner.

“Just before this, I promised Jingtan Jushi and ancient seniors, to borrow the scorched tail to the lady.

“So our party came to this Purple Moon Villa as guests.

“Speaking …… of this matter seems to be not as secretive as I imagined, in the end there is no impermeable wall under this sky.

“The night of Lord Meng Zhuang’s accident, there were people secretly came to my room, wanting to steal this qin.

“Unfortunately, I was not asleep at the time, so I followed that person.

“Listen to them talk, as if there is a way to unlock the secrets of this burnt tail …… also do not know whether it is true or not.

“To wait until I want to listen carefully, but unexpectedly they found out.”

Jiang Ran sighed: “Pity pity, I may be the closest person to the truth of the Jiao Tail since this thousand years. It’s really too bad ……”

“There’s actually this matter!”

Lady Meng was filled with shock.

Jingtan Jushi glanced at Jiang Ran and murmured:

“The night the Remnant Sun Sect broke into the Purple Moon Villa, that night, someone tried to steal your Jiao Tail.

“Wouldn’t that be a bit too coincidental?”

“Let’s talk about these things afterward.”

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“I’ve come here today for no other reason than to fulfill the promise I made that day,” he said.

“This Jiao Tail will be given to you for your enjoyment, but remember, ma’am, don’t play it.

“Jiao tail is dangerous, a little careless play the person will die.

“En, as for the deadline ……

“It will be tomorrow, tomorrow, the lady will return it to me on the good, only hope that the lady will not blame me for being petty, only willing to borrow a day, I do not know how the lady intended?”

“This is naturally good.”

Mrs. Meng hurriedly said, “The Jiao Tail is the twelve heavenly dexterity inherited for a thousand years, often treasured by people who easily refuse to show it to others. Jiang Warrior is willing to keep his promise and lend me this burnt tail for a whole day, I’m already grateful enough for the great favor. Where else would I mind having less time ……”

“It’s good that ma’am doesn’t mind.”

Jiang Ran stood up, “Today’s conference, as a survivor, madam must also attend. Jiang Mou still has to prepare some things, so I won’t bother Madam, farewell ……”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jingtan Jushi again:

“Do you want to chat some more?”

“……”

Jingtan Jushi looked at Jiang Ran with a dark face.

You’ve left, what am I staying here for?

“If you don’t want to chat, then don’t chat, I’m not looking …… Forget it, let’s go then.”

He turned around and headed out after he finished speaking.

Mrs. Meng hurriedly greeted her maid and came over to see off the guests.

Or the little maid who had been teased by Jiang Ran earlier, trotted all the way behind Jiang Ran and Jingtan Jushi.

Until she sent them out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Ran still smiled at her:

“Still don’t know sister’s name?”

“Jiang warrior, don’t joke about tares ……”

The little girl gave Jiang Ran a tease and didn’t dare to raise her head.

Jingtan Jushi really couldn’t watch anymore and flung his sleeve:

“The old man will go back first.”

“Slowly go slowly, I’ll talk to her again.”

Jiang Ran didn’t lift his head.

Jing Tan Jushi stayed dumbfounded, was never expecting that Jiang Ran would be so shameless.

For a moment is also duh, just he today’s mind complex, also do not want to do more entanglement in this, then hummed a turn to leave.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ran and the maid were left before the courtyard door.

Jiang Ran’s gaze was withdrawn from behind Jing Tan Jushi, before he looked up at the little girl with the reddish face:

“Sister, attach your ear and come over, I’ll say a few words of my own to you. ……”

……

……

East County government office.

Today is a clear sky, the sun shines brightly.

Within the study, East County Prefect Zhao Riming was dealing with political affairs with his head bowed.

He was writing with a rigorous attitude.

When the matter at hand was finished, after stretching his back, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

When he looked up, he saw that not far away was a young man with a waxy face, sitting there with a sword in his arms, not speaking or moving, as if he was axed and carved in stone.

“Strong man Knight.”

Zhao Riming spoke softly.

“Your Excellency has something to order?”

Li Tianxin glanced back, his voice steady.

Zhao Riming gently shook his head:

“Just wanted to say that you don’t need to sit here all the time.”

“Being entrusted by someone, I am loyal.”

Li Tianxin pursed her lips:

“Since he asked me to protect you, then I should naturally stay close to you and not slack off for a moment.”

“Hey ……”

Zhao Riming was speechless for a moment.

A few days ago, this person named Li Tianxin suddenly held a knife catching order and a handwritten letter from Tian Xiwen, saying that he suspected that someone would be unfavorable to him in recent days.

But the Purple Moon Villa side of the big event is imminent, do not dare to easily leave the manpower.

Therefore can only entrust this person to come to protect.

There was both a knife catching order and a letter from Tian Xiwen.

Zhao Riming naturally did not suspect Li Tianxin’s origin, just …… these few days, this Li Zhuangshi really is meticulous, waiting in line, always guarding.

More or less let Zhao Riming some not too comfortable.

The good thing is that the person has his own way of doing things, which is reluctantly accepted.

But also feel, this person seems to sleepless, really hard, he admired this person to keep promises, heart natural intolerance, they always think of letting him rest a little.

As a result, he refused to listen.

Only sighed and said:

“Now there is nothing in the house, maybe everything is thinking too much.

“Although the Remnant Sun Sect’s crimes are unforgivable, they may not dare to be bold enough to assassinate this official.

“You so sleepless to protect me, let my heart really feel sorry.

“Moreover, to take a step back, even if they really dare to come, but also to wait for labor, you have not had a good rest for many days, and can play a few points of martial arts?

“According to this official’s view, you’d better go and rest for a while, if there’s really something, this official will find someone to call you again.”

Li Tianxin smiled:

“Thank you for your care, but if something really happens, I’m afraid that you won’t have the chance to find me.”

“This ……”

Zhao Riming was silent for a moment.

He was a civil official through and through, and was completely ignorant of martial arts.

This was different from Guo Chong, the governor of Cangzhou Prefecture at the time.

Guo Chong is from the military, at that time, the matter of Flying Cloud Walled City, has aroused the suspicion of the court, which let him go to do the governor.

In the end, it was only a stopgap measure.

Therefore, after the Flying Cloud Village incident was over, Guo Chong was transferred and replaced with a serious civilian official to be the prefect.

If there really was an expert assassinating Zhao Riming, it was estimated that Zhao Riming really couldn’t do anything other than shouting ‘ah’.

“In that case ……”

Zhao Riming was about to continue speaking.

Just then, he saw Li Tianxin suddenly raise his head, his eyes changing color, and in the next moment, a silhouette violently burst into the room.

Before Zhao Riming could react to what was happening.

He saw a flash of a sword, followed by two clanks, and then a thud.

Zhao Riming only had time to make a movement to raise his head at that moment.

Just then, he saw that Li Tianxin had already grabbed a black-clothed man’s neck with one hand and pressed him against the wall.

Seems to want to force to ask something, but not waiting for Li Tianxin to speak, see that black-clothed person suddenly opened his mouth, the black scarf covering his face shook, Li Tianxin tilted his head, Zhao Riming only felt as if there was a silver light flashed, but could not see clearly what in the end.

Li Tianxin pulled off his black scarf at this time, and saw that this black-clothed man’s mouth did not have a tongue, but rather a strange organ was installed, which looked shocking to the eyes.

“A dead soldier?”

Li Tianxin frowned slightly, followed by a flash of the blade, a human head fell to the ground.

At the same time, there were cries of alarm everywhere within the government offices.

Zhao Riming’s expression sank:

“Good guts! How dare you really come! Mr. Li, follow me out!”

Li Tianxin froze:

“What are you going out for?”

“In broad daylight, in the clear sky, as the Prefect of East County, with an enemy to kill, how can I sit in the hall and let my men be slaughtered?

“Let this curfew has a hundred can for, this official why fear!”

Zhao Riming straightened his crown, then looked at Li Tianxin:

“What’s more, Strong Li is a strong martial artist, why would I be afraid of him?”

Li Tianxin looked at Zhao Riming for a long time before nodding deeply:

“Good! Your Honor has a point, why are you and I afraid of him?

“Let’s go out!”

Zhao Riming nodded deeply, currently taking a step towards the outside of the study.

Pushing open the door of the room, he came to the courtyard in large strides.

With certain footsteps, he opened his mouth and said:

“Where are the curmudgeons, this official Zhao Riming is here, why don’t you show yourself?”

Accompanying his voice was the sound of clanking.

This was because the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, there were hidden weapons constantly flying around him.

However, they were intercepted by Li Tianxin’s single sword.

And under this moment, Zhao Riming’s spine did not bend, his eyes did not cower, and his voice was loud and neutral!

“Good, good, good!”

A voice suddenly rose from one side of the wall.

One after another black-clothed person was seen appearing around.

Among these people, some were carrying a human head in their hands, while others were dragging an undead magistrate.

Gazes from all directions were thrown towards Zhao Riming, and he heard a black-clothed man speak softly:

“I’ve long heard of East County Prefecture Zhao Riming’s reputation, and today I’ve seen that he is indeed extraordinary, indeed a man of iron bones.

“Seeing you like this, this seat is somewhat unable to bear to kill you, in this case, this seat will give you a chance, you kneel down, enter my Broken Sun Sect, practicing my way, and serving as my official.

“Then this seat can spare your life!”

“What a Remnant Sun Sect ……”

Li Tianxin took a step forward, “You guys, have you not put me in your eyes?”

“Li Tianxin?”

The black-robed man in the lead glanced at him and gently shook his head:

“If Jiang Ran were here, I would still fear him three times, you …… are not qualified.”
