Chapter 203.

Jinqiu’s last name is Guan Jinqiu.

He and Gu Xi Zhi were childhood friends and had grown up together since childhood.

These two were under the Heavenly Green Twin Swords respectively.

Gu Xizhi studied under the ‘Heavenly Sword’ Ying Wu Sheng.

Guan Jinqiu studied under the ‘Green Sword’ Xiao Wu Mei.

Originally, they thought that they would become a couple like their masters.

But did not expect, down the mountain into the rivers and lakes met Jingtan Jushi.

Three people will be so entangled, and ultimately Guan Jinqiu two people who did not choose, married to the Purple Moon Villa Zhuangzhuang Meng Huan as a wife.

Purple Moon Villa and Jiang Ran to go to the direction of the Jin Yang House is not too smooth, have to slightly detour, toward the northwest.

Through two big cities, into the East County, and then turn west, before you can enter the Purple Moon Mountain territory.

This journey wasn’t too far, nor was it too close.

Even with a carriage, it would take more than half a month’s time.

The first few days of traveling, but also considered peaceful.

After the battle of Sunset Ping on Three Immortals Mountain, everyone knew that Jiang Ran had lost his Jiao Wei Qin.

Naturally, there was no one counting on them.

But what was Jiang Ran?

A knife catcher!

As a knife catcher, in a situation where no one was targeting him, he would want to target others.

Therefore, the routes that he picked afterward were either remote and dangerous roads, or places where he knew, after asking around, that there were mountain bandits and roadblocks gathering.

Even if the rewards given by these guys didn’t work, they could still pile up the buffs.

The buff proved to be really fragrant.

As a result, it was still peaceful!

Jiang Ran was a bit puzzled:

“Could it be that these mountain bandits and roadblocks are all washed their hands in gold, not doing this roadblocking and killing and hijacking business?

“Then what’s the use of having knife catchers like me in this world?”

“The knife catchers aren’t simply there to catch these mountain bandits ……”

Tang Yuyi rolled her eyes, “You can also catch the lecherous thieves.”

“Now there is not even a shadow of a thief, I catch a hammer ah catch.”

“Peaceful days just passed a few days ah, you stop a little bit.

“Do not think for yourself, you also for the inside of the ancient, warrior, consider.”

When she said the words ‘Ancient Warrior’, Tang Yuyi gritted her teeth a bit.

As a Demon Cult’s Little Demoness, she was truly displeased with this kind of pedantic people of the righteous path.

Although it wasn’t true that they were deeply detestable, it was extremely obvious that they had conflicting philosophies.

Moreover, the ancient warrior was a good teacher.

He hated to be able to pass on his thoughts to the eight directions, benefiting the world.

For ‘crooked ways’ like Tang Yuyi’s, he couldn’t help but teach him earnestly, wanting to make him turn over a new leaf.

The result was that every time, it was a disagreement.

Tang Yuyi was certainly angry and wanted to vomit blood, and Gu Xizhi was truly angry and vomiting blood.

He was already seriously injured, and after Tang Yuyi’s careful ‘care’, it was estimated that the injuries that could have been healed in three months would have to lie down for a few more years.

Jingtan Jushi was happy to see it happen, smiling from ear to ear.

Tang Yuyi also complained about this.

Jiang Ran couldn’t help but be happy when he heard this, but he also felt that he seemed to have changed a lot.

I don’t know when he started, he began to be unaccustomed to peaceful days.

Without some people chasing after him, wanting to plot against him, assassinate him, he felt that his life was much less interesting.

Jiang Ran also realized that this kind of thought was actually very dangerous.

There is no undefeated person in the jianghu, even if he is the best in the world, he can’t stop the open swords and dark arrows of sinister people.

The tiger also has the time to nap, who can say that they can always be well guarded?

When this idea of jumping out of the way was born, it is necessary to act cautiously, but there is a mistake, maybe there will be something.

In his heart, he heard the sound of breaking wind.

Immediately followed by the carriage sinking, there was already one more person on top of the carriage.

This person was carrying a large bow on his back, holding his arms, his face full of solemnity:

“Big brother, you guessed correctly, these mountain bandits are dead.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Ran froze and couldn’t help but look back at Li Tianyu:

“How did they die out?”

“I was looking up the mountain road and found a mountain fortress on the mountain.

“Only, the cottage had already been torched, leaving only a piece of debris.

“I rummaged among the ruins for a while and found some corpses, just ……”

When Li Tianyu said this, he hesitated a bit, and only after a long time, did he say:

“These corpses were all killed by people while they were still alive.

“The corpses are mostly fragmented, and the deaths are quite miserable ……”

Jiang Ran was slightly silent and couldn’t help but glance at Tang Yuyi: “Go and take a look?”

“Go.”

Letting Jingtan Jushi and the others wait in the carriage, Li Tianyu gave Jiang Ran and Tang Yingyi a point of direction.

The two of them then performed light energy and rushed towards the direction of that mountain fortress.

The road wasn’t far, and the two were fast, but in the twinkling of an eye, they had already arrived at the place.

The situation was just as Li Tianyu said.

The entire cottage was torched, a few charred and blackened corpses, as well as pieces of meat that could not be seen, were picked out and laid out in one place, apparently found by Li Tianyu and picked out to check.

Jiang Ran also inspected it slightly:

“There is no black ash within the mouth and nasal cavity …… indeed it is not burnt to death.”

“This trace ……”

Tang Yuyi looked at the corpse’s broken marks and frowned:

“It’s not like a knife chopping and sword chopping, it seems like it was hard shattered by an overwhelming internal force.

“Wanting to shatter a living person is not something that can be done so easily.”

Jiang Ran’s lips opened and closed, and before he could open his mouth, he was glared at by Tang Yuyi:

“Shut up!”

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

“You wanted to say it in your heart!”

“…… Are you still being reasonable?”

“Yes, I just don’t want to talk to you!”

“……”

Jiang Ran took a deep breath, resisted the urge to pinch her to death, stood up and said:

“This person is acting a little wrong ……”

“En.”

Tang Yuyi nodded as well:

“If it was done by someone from the righteous path, it wouldn’t be so bad that he wouldn’t even spare the old, young, women and children.

“I took a look just now and found the bodies of several children.”

The children in the cottage, in the future, may not be able to follow in their father’s footsteps and become a new generation of mountain bandits.

However, if it was a righteous person who made a move, it was often not so bad as to drive them to extinction.

Instead, they would bring the people out and find a suitable place for them to receive correction.

“If it’s done by people in the evil way, it’s even less likely to kill these children easily ……

“For example, the Zuo Dao Zhuang, if it were them, these children would all be taken back.

“Some with good qualifications will become the fresh blood of the Left Dao Manor, and those with poor qualifications ……”

Tang Yuyi pondered for a moment as she said this:

“They will be refined by them into ‘heartless children’, the same midgets you saw earlier.”

“This is something I haven’t heard you say in the past.”

Jiang Ran also only realized at this point that those midgets following around the Young Lord of the Manor had another name for them, the Bereaved Heart Children.

Moreover, this group of people were not born.

They were refined by the Left Way Manor?

How was this refined?

“It’s not like you asked in the past.”

Tang Yuyi frowned:

“However, the identity of the person who did this is difficult to speculate on in the end.

“It’s possible that it’s someone who has a grudge against this cottage and came to take revenge …… It’s also possible that the passing evil path was offended by them, and in a fit of rage, this is why they killed and set fire to it.

“From this piece of traces, I’m afraid I can’t find any traces.”

Jiang Ran sighed:

“Don’t let me find this person, otherwise, I have to tell him to know how powerful he is.

“What is this he burned? Is this a human being? Is this a mountain bandit? This is money!!!”

Most importantly, it’s all his life!

And it turned out to be torched.

Nowadays, not to mention to the portrait, even if you take a photo, no one can tell who is who in this gang.

“…… dying for money, you are a bit like Yan Wushuang.

“Tell me honestly, are you looking at someone else?”

Tang Painting Yi suddenly glanced at Jiang Ran, “If you ask me, this Yan Wushuang is quite a bit older than you, she must be almost thirty this year, I’m afraid. Let me tell you, ah, a woman of this age, even if she hasn’t married, she definitely has lovers around her.

“You don’t want to make a mistake, turn around and then be someone else’s guest of honor ……

“En, but if you only want a one night fling and not a long life, I think my sister won’t mind you cheating on her occasionally.”

Jiang Ran didn’t hold back this time and reached out to hit Tang Yuyi hard on the head.

Hitting Tang Yuyi’s eyes flooded with tears, “Being told what’s on my mind, you’re annoyed!!!”

“Any more nonsense, I’ll split you.”

Jiang Ran was truly speechless, no matter what things were said, how did it all end up circling around to strange and weird places.

Shaking his head, after circling around the cottage again, the two returned to the carriage end.

This side of the carriage was safe and sound.

It was just that once they told Jingtan Jushi about what happened, Jingtan Jushi was also a bit confused.

“This is a passing jianghu expert, acting on behalf of heaven?”

This was just a casual remark, and the crowd did not look deeper into this.

But after continuing on for another two days, they felt that the situation was really not right.

In these two days, they found another mountain fortress.

Within the cottage, there were still corpses all over the place, and the entire cottage had been torched.

The entire technique was exactly the same as the previous cottage.

This had to make Jiang Ran and the others suspicious.

But even if it is speculation, it can only be said that there is such a group of people, cynical, all over the world to find the trouble of the mountain bandits.

Killing is not a commoner, even if it is suspicious, a few people just casually discuss it and be done with it.

As time crosses into October, the weather is also turning cooler day by day.

I don’t know when, the sky even began to float on the fine and dense snowflakes.

“It was raining a while ago, and now it’s snowing.”

Tang Yuyi reached out to catch it and suddenly looked at Jiang Ran:

“In a little over two months, it will be New Year’s Eve.”

Between her words, there seemed to be some hidden excitement.

Jiang Ran froze:

“New Year’s Eve ah ……”

This seemed like a distant story to Jiang Ran.

He had lived it before crossing over, but it just didn’t feel like it had much flavor.

It was nothing more than eating a meal, watching a party, and when he woke up, the year was over.

After crossing over the old drunkard had even less of a concept of this.

However, he has seen from afar the appearance of a happy family at New Year’s Eve.

He couldn’t help but let out a light laugh:

“You still have some expectations for this?”

Now counting the hours, it was not yet noon.

Several people were eating at a tea store by the roadside.

Tang Yuyi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, gently exhaling a mouthful of white air:

“Of course I’m looking forward to it ah ……”

Sweeping her eyes around, she saw that both Li Tianyu and Jingtan Jushi had already finished eating and were resting on the carriage.

Then he said softly to Jiang Ran:

“In the past, every New Year’s Eve, my parents would prepare new clothes for me.

“Dumplings were wrapped at night, and copper coins were put inside, and whoever could eat them would have good luck for the year.

“Right, right, there’s also New Year’s money, I had it last year!”

“……”

The little demoness of the Devil Cult would still care about such things?

Jiang Ran grinned, “That’s fine, if you like it, I’ll prepare year-end money for you this year as well.”

“Really?”

Tang Yuyi’s eyes lit up, “How much? Last year, my father had prepared ten …… no, ten thousand taels for me!

“As my brother-in-law, you must at least give more than my dad. Just count you fifty thousand taels!”

Jiang Ran hated that he couldn’t take his chopsticks and smack this lionized Demon Cult Demoness to death.

Skimming his mouth, “Hurry up and get on the road when you’re done eating, and in a moment, you’ll go to the carriage and squint a little.”

“Why? I’m not sleepy, and there’s an ancient warrior in the carriage, I’m not going.”

“You’d better get some sleep, dreams have everything.”

“…… Cheapskate.”

Tang Yuyi muttered, standing up with Jiang Ran, ready to return to the carriage.

Not waiting for the two to walk out of the tea house.

Just then, they heard the sound of galloping horses rushing in, along with the sound of creaking and squeaking.

Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi looked up and saw a carriage in the distance dragged by two horses, driven by an old woman, running wildly!

The old woman’s face was full of vicious hostility, as if the two horses had some deep hatred with her.

The whip fell on the horse’s ass without any money, striking out traces of blood.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of them.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, not intending to mind his own business.

He just felt that the old woman’s posture of hitting the horse was not right, and if it continued like this, he was afraid that the car would be destroyed.

When he didn’t pay any attention to it, he heard an extremely small sound of breaking wind.

The old woman’s head tilted, and the whole person immediately fell down from the carriage.

Her eyes were rounded, and she died without resting in peace.

Immediately followed by a silhouette arrived in the air, a single foot on the roof of the carriage, which flew down, reaching out to yank up the reins with a soft cry:

“Phew!!!”

Just this horse has been frightened, where is so easy to stop?

Has been running with this horse for a while, before turning the horse’s head, to be completely calmed down, this person is finally relieved.

Jiang Ran and others also saw clearly what this person looked like.

A white coat, handsome face, sword eyebrows into the temples, nose like a mountain ridge, is born a good skin.

In fact, Jiang Ran was also very handsome.

Tang Yuyi has always felt that Jiang Ran may be the first beautiful man in the Jianghu Lake.

But he has never liked to primp himself, let the wind and frost and rain fall, also do not change color.

This white-clothed gentleman was different.

He is not only born good-looking, but also dressed up good-looking.

White clothes like clouds, waist wearing a jade belt, head with a jade hoop to bind hair, also tied a jade hairpin.

In his hand, he opened it with a snap, but it was a folding fan.

Written on the face of the fan were four big words: there are flowers to be folded.

“This ……”

Tang Yuyi had been looking at the beautiful man in a pleasing manner, but when she saw these four words, she suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Glancing at Jiang Ran:

“Not like a good man ……”

Jiang Ran froze:

“Not like a good person, and you’re still looking at it with such devotion?”

“Eh?”

Tang Yuyi was also stunned and met Jiang Ran’s eyes.

But at this moment, they saw that white-clothed male standing long and speaking softly:

“I’ve heard for a long time that the flower family has a daughter who is growing up ……”

“Qi pulls mountains and covers the world?”

Jiang Ran didn’t know how, but when he heard this, he couldn’t help but interject.

Tang Yuyi burst out laughing on the spot.

The white-clothed male didn’t react, nodding slightly and repeating himself:

“Yes, qi plucks mountains and covers the world …… ah?”

Following that, he couldn’t help but look angrily at Jiang Ran: “Nonsense, don’t be a beauty!”

“Cough cough cough ……”

Jiang Ran waved his hand, “Brother continue.”

“Where did I just say?”

“Powerful and powerful.”

“…… Is that what I said?”

Green veins popped up on the white-clothed male’s brain, and only after glancing coldly at Jiang Ran did he let out a breath:

“Count your luck, if it wasn’t for the fear of scaring the beauty, I would have to cut you up today.”

“How scary.”

Jiang Ran smacked his lips and said to Tang Yuyi: “It really doesn’t look like a good person.”

“I told you.”

Tang Yuyi glanced at Jiang Ran with a ‘you’ve finally realized’ look.

The white-clothed male couldn’t stand it:

“I think you guys are deliberately seeking death!!!”

With those words, he flung his hand and two flying needles swiftly arrived.

Previously, that old woman had died under these flying needles.

Jiang Ran didn’t move, he saw the light of the knife together, ding ding ding, the two flying needles were stopped by Tang Wuyi with a single knife.

With a turn of internal force, the flying needles did not fall off, but stuck to the blade, and with a flick of her hand, she returned them to the white-clothed gentleman.

The white-clothed male probed his hand to catch it, his brows knitted slightly, feeling that he had underestimated these two people.

At that moment, he let out a cold snort and looked at the carriage again, before he lifted the curtain and dragged out a girl inside.

Although this girl was yanked out by him, there was no softness on her face.

Just a pale face, seems to have been hit by some means.

Between his eyes, there was cold killing intent.

The white-clothed male was oblivious to this, looking at the girl with complacency, laughing:

“Flower girl, follow me to go.

“To wait for you and I to accomplish good things, spread the word, is also a good story in the jianghu.”

“Pfft!”

This girl viciously spat a mouthful of spit on this white-clothed male’s face:

“Bai Xichao, you’d better kill me now!

“Otherwise, if you let me have the slightest chance to recover, I will make you beg for your life and beg for your death!!!”

“Nowadays, you are speaking ill of me for a while, and you hate not being able to kill me afterward.”

Bai Xizhao laughed softly, “But, I guarantee that in a short time, we will be together, live and die, not separate, let’s go!”

As he said this, he was about to jump up.

However, he saw a flash of shadow, followed by a knife descending from the sky.

That Bai Xizhao’s face changed, the whole person was like a frightened rabbit, a swift turn, then a sudden burst, almost in the blink of an eye, had already brought the girl to ten feet away.

Just listening to Tang Yuyi’s frown, she looked towards Jiang Ran:

“I’m calculating that the two of us haven’t quit the jianghu either.

“How come today’s flower pickers are so blatant?”

As a result, he saw Jiang Ran flipping through a pamphlet, and raised his head a moment later:

“Oh, so it’s Little Silver Dragon Bai Xi Chao!”
