Chapter 205.
The light of the flame pushed through the dark night.
The nourishing and oily hare gave off a tantalizing aroma.
It made Hua Yue Rong unable to help gently gulp.
But after she saw the human head, wrapped in white and still oozing blood, placed next to the fire, she felt as if she wasn’t too hungry either.
Jiang Ran gently turned the hare in his hand and spoke softly:
“You weren’t poisoned, but you were injured by someone with an odd maneuver.
“This injury is odd, and if you are not versed in the reasoning behind it, there is no way to save it.
“Who did this?”
The task of sending Hua Yue Rong home, Jiang Ran took it after all.
There was no other reason, because it was on the way.
Both left and right have to take a trip, moreover, just like what Hua Yue Rong said, she now has no power of self-preservation, there is no way that he can really let it go.
Saving someone’s life is in the end, sending the Buddha to the west.
Where was the halfway point?
Even if Jiang Ran’s original purpose was just to kill Bai Xizhao and take his head in exchange for bounty.
But the person who was saved because of this, it was not good to leave him to his own devices.
“I don’t know.”
Hua Yue Rong shook her head:
“Today on the way back home, this group of people suddenly appeared. Without a word, they started a huge fight.
“Although I brought a few servants from home with me, I was no match for them.
“In the end, I was injured by a man in black and couldn’t move. If Granny Zhang hadn’t saved me, I would have died.”
Granny Zhang?
Jiang Ran thought of that old crone with a hostile face and nodded gently.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked again:
“Then have you heard of …… the Remnant Sun Friends?”
“Remnant Sun Friends?”
Hua Yue Rong listened with some confusion, “This I really don’t know …… However, to talk about the Remnant Sun, I am able to think of a Remnant Sun Sect that suddenly appeared recently.”
“Tell me.”
Jiang Ran glanced at Hua Yuerong.
Only after Hua Yuerong hesitated slightly did she speak:
“The exact origin of this Remnant Sun Sect is now also a matter of conflicting opinions, with nothing accurate to say.
“Moreover, this group of people act mysteriously and rarely show their presence.
“The reason why everyone knows about it is still because half a year ago, there was a great devil in the jianghu who appeared near the East County Mansion.
“Many of the local sects and families went to encircle this person for the sake of jianghu morality, thinking that even if they couldn’t kill him, they should at least drive him away, so that he wouldn’t be a scourge to the people.
“At that time, we got the news and knew where that devil was. We immediately led the crowd to go there, but we didn’t expect that we went one step too late.
“That devil has already been killed …… left a note on his body, written with the seven words [Acting on behalf of the heavens and the remnant of the sun gate].
“From this, everyone knows that there is one more Remnant Sun Sect in this world.
“After hitting this, this Remnant Sun Sect would occasionally show up, punishing the wicked and eliminating the evil, often leaving behind a note.”
Jiang Ran’s mind changed slightly when he heard this.
Gently shaking his head:
“I’m afraid this isn’t a good thing for you guys, right?”
In all sincerity, the sudden appearance of an extremely mysterious and godforsaken force was very unfavorable to the original pattern of this perimeter.
Hua Yue Rong glanced at Jiang Ran and nodded gently:
“Swordsman Jiang is through and through, but although there are some concerns, so far, the things that the Remnant Sun Sect has done have largely been in defense of the righteous path.
“So, everyone has listened to it, and, even if they have misgivings and want to look for them, they can’t find any trace of them.”
The latter was the real reason for letting it go, right?
Jiang Ran nodded his head slightly, but he also grasped the point:
“It’s roughly all for the sake of maintaining the righteous path?
“Is there anything else that isn’t?”
“…… Can’t say it isn’t either.”
Hua Yue Rong lowered her head and gazed at the rabbit in Jiang Ran’s hand.
Jiang Ran then reached out and broke off a rabbit leg and handed it over.
Hua Yuerong hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice since the morning, and Jiang Ran had been chasing after her all afternoon, so her stomach was naturally hungry.
After giving Hua Yuerong a leg, he stuck the wooden stick in his hand on the ground and broke off a leg to eat.
Casually opening the wine gourd, he took another sip.
Then he heard Hua Yuerong say:
“It’s just that some of the things they do some of the time are still quite criticized.
“About three months ago, they wiped out a large local family …… and gave evidence that this family made a fortune by conspiring with horse thieves to pit and kill the people in Hyper Dragon Pass back in the day and looting military pay and ordnance.
“Subsequently, the gold pot washed his hands, came to the East County House, shifted to become a rich man.
“But in the past years, under the hands of the things committed, the accumulated blood debt can not be so ended.
“Therefore, the decapitation of the top and bottom of the door, in order to show that the justice of the heavens.
“After this matter, everyone feels that the remnant of the sun door do things too ruthless.”
“How?”
Jiang Ran frowned as he chewed on the rabbit meat.
It had to be said that there was indeed a huge gap between his craftsmanship and Luo Qingyi’s.
Unfortunately, Luo Qingyi had been arranged by him to go to the Falling Flowers and Smoke Alliance, and for a long time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to eat his cooking.
Thinking about it like this, it was quite a miss.
“First of all, they were the ones who killed first, and their evidence was publicized afterwards.
“Although the evidence has been verified by many parties, and even looked for the Purple Moon Villa, by the Lord of the Meng Zhuang personally check to make sure that there is no error.
“But in the end, the link of public confrontation is missing.
“Human life is at stake, how can it be frivolous?
“What’s more …… Remnant Sun Sect hands, will that family, from top to bottom, all beheaded, the old and young women and children, is also one not to stay.
“The means are too cool.”
When Hua Yue Rong said here, a shadow also surfaced on her face.
Jiang Ran nodded gently:
“Wildfires cannot be burned, but spring winds blow again.
“Since you want to kill someone, naturally, you have to kill a little bit more dry …… Otherwise, after ten or twenty years, another rash person will pop up, and the swineherd is still hitting your daughter’s idea, and in the end, he will want to kill you to take revenge.
“What’s the point of stirring up the family home and the years?”
Hua Yue Rong froze, thinking that this Shocking Divine Blade turned out to like reading words as well.
“In that case, Jiang Warrior does agree with what the Remnant Sun Sect is doing?”
She glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran, however, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to her:
“Read it yourself.”
Hua Yuerong read the letter over in the light of the fire, and her face steeply darkened.
A moment later, she slowly closed her eyes:
“Although I know that this Remnant Sun Friend …… may not be a friend of the Remnant Sun Sect.
“However, since there is such a drop, I am afraid that the suspicion of this Broken Sun Sect is not small.
“But if today’s strike against me is the Remnant Sun Gate ……
“Then they are obviously not as …… eager to do justice and act on behalf of the heavens as they have shown today.
“What exactly do they want to do?”
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and put the letter back:
“Those who hide their heads and don’t dare to show themselves in front of people, what kind of good people can they be?
“Alright, take a little rest when you’re done eating.
“It is not easy for you to move around now, so tomorrow I will find a good horse and we will have to hurry as soon as possible.
“Let’s meet up with my companion first.”
“Many thanks, Great Warrior Jiang.”
Hua Yue Rong nodded and found a clean place to curl up.
Now that the weather was chilly, the clothes on Hua Yuerong were quite thin.
Jiang Ran’s inner strength was so profound that he had already been immune to cold and heat, so naturally he didn’t have any warm clothes on him.
So he had to tell her to move forward and get closer to the fire.
Hua Yue Rong will be very obedient, honestly leaned forward.
Seeing Jiang Ran sitting on one side, with no intention of resting at all, she asked:
“Doesn’t Swordsman Jiang take a nap?”
“Out in the middle of nowhere, if I sleep, what if you get carried away by wolves?”
Jiang Ran glanced at her and smiled, “Don’t bother about me, you sleep.”
“Jiang warrior ……”
Hua Yuerong couldn’t help but ask again:
“Earlier, earlier why did you save me?”
“En?”
Jiang Ran was not sure of the reasoning for a moment oh, “What do you mean? Are you planning to let me abandon you?”
“Not …… I mean, Bai Xichao gave me that poison …… you, you actually could have taken advantage of the situation …… but, you didn’t. ”
Hua Yueyong gazed at Jiang Ran, the little girl suffered a huge change, and nearly experienced the great event of life and death, think naturally not inevitably some more.
Jiang Ran understood what Hua Yuerong meant, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
Then he comforted her:
“Since I have a method, I won’t take advantage of people’s danger.”
In fact, if he really couldn’t do it, he would probably just throw it down and stop paying attention …… to it, and then come back to ascertain the life and death of Hua Yuerong after he killed this Bai Xichao.
If her life is good and she didn’t die, then think again to save her.
On the contrary, it is also her destiny.
To summarize, how can we not let this Bai Xichao escape?
“Swordsman Jiang, so you are a benevolent gentleman.”
Hua Yue Rong was indeed comforted by Jiang Ran and slowly closed her eyes, falling into dreamland.
Jiang Ran was silent for a while and picked the bonfire a little bigger again.
……
……
Hua Yuerong did not sleep until she woke up naturally.
In the middle of the night, she was called up by Jiang Ran gently pushing on her shoulder.
After opening her eyes, Hua Yuerong first held her arms and shivered for a moment before giving Jiang Ran a slightly confused look:
“Jiang warrior ……”
“Hush, be silent.”
Jiang Ran spoke softly.
Hua Yue Rong immediately hurriedly closed her mouth, and although she was a little nervous, she still looked around as calmly as possible.
Just then, they heard footsteps ringing out, densely packed.
The two people were hiding in the reeds, the campfire was already gone, but the residual heat could still be felt.
Apparently it was just now that Jiang Ran realized that someone was there, which put out this fire.
Even Bai Xizhao’s head, this will also be Jiang Ran hanging on the waist.
The speed of the person coming is very fast, but not at them.
In the blink of an eye, they swept past the reeds and rushed towards another place.
Only after this line of people left did Jiang Ran frown slightly:
“What is that place over there?”
Hua Yue Rong blinked her eyes, “I don’t know …… I’m lost.”
“……”
Jiang Ran felt that this was justifiable.
After all, under was led to run by Bai Xichao, and was subsequently confused by himself, although the reed swamp was considered a rather iconic site.
But without being able to distinguish between south-east and north-west, how could one know the gang’s destination?
“Jiang warrior, I see that this gang of people are black clothed and masked, it doesn’t look like a good road …… us, should we follow up and take a look?”
Jiang Ran was slightly silent.
In fact, if there wasn’t this matter of the Remnant Sun Sect, with such a liability as Hua Yue Rong by his side, he still wouldn’t be willing to mind his own business.
However, since he knew that there was a Crippled Sun Sect in this neighborhood that liked to go out of its way to look like it was acting on behalf of the heavens, but actually had other mysteries.
Jiang Ran pondered that he should still go over and take a look before saying anything.
So he said to Hua Yuerong:
“It’s fine to go, but you have to listen to me.”
“Naturally.”
Hua Yuerong’s head nodded like a chicken eating rice.
Jiang Ran looked at her with some surprise, then nodded:
“Offended.”
With those words, he took a hold of her shoulder, and with a single step of Tian Qian Nine Steps, he directly flew up, following the trail of this group of black-clothed people.
The place where this gang was going wasn’t too far away.
Soon, it was at the end of the reed swamp and came to the front of a large manor.
After Hua Yuerong saw this manor, she was suddenly enlightened:
“This is the Looking Water Villa!”
“Looking Water Villa?”
Jiang Ran gave Hua Yuerong a somewhat puzzled look.
Hua Yuerong then explained to him:
“I don’t think that Jiang Warrior has heard of it before, the Looking Water Villa is the land of the Hu Family.
“The Hu family is also considered to be a well-known jianghu family in this square area, and there are disciples in the family who are studying in the seven sects, so the people in the family are naturally rising in the ranks.
“Wangshui Villa is their place of origin, but also where the ancestral home is located.
“This family of theirs will return to Lookout Water Villa to pay homage to their ancestors on October 23rd.
“By the way, today is exactly October 23rd!
“Disciples of the Hu Family from all over the world will return here on this day. ……”
Jiang Ran’s heart moved slightly, and he saw that the group of black-robed men had stopped moving.
The person in charge waved his hand, and immediately, several teams of black-clothed men spread out towards the sides of the mountain villa, and within moments, this mountain villa was surrounded.
At this point, the man in charge made another gesture.
In the next moment, the black-clothed men surrounding the manor took out something from their arms.
It was an object that looked as if it was a crossbow.
Yet, it was rather simple.
Now that the arrow was already strung, on top of the arrowhead, there was also a bamboo tube tied to it.
They simultaneously raised the object in their hands, angled into mid-air, their fingers snapped, and they heard a whooshing sound break through the air.
A single arrow drew a parabola and landed within the compound.
Boom boom boom!!!
Explosive sounds rose and fell, the sound was not loud, but there was thick smoke rolling around.
In an instant, within the entire mountain villa, there was a flurry of people and cries of alarm.
“An enemy is coming!!!”
“This smoke is odd, cover your mouth and nose!”
“What kind of person has come to my Wangshui Villa?”
“Master of the Villa, where is Master of the Villa?”
A cry rang out, but the black-robed man at the head of the group was unmoved.
It seemed that he had seen this kind of scene for a long time and had already gotten used to it.
Just gently waved his hand, another group of black-clothed people flew up, directly came to the various parts of the courtyard, and in a few moments, there were flames in the sky.
Only at this point did the person in charge open his mouth and drink in a cold voice:
“Kill! Not a single one left!!!”
Behind the black-clothed people immediately flew out, from all directions to break into this Wangshui Mountain Villa.
It was only then that the sound of screams came out from within the manor.
Hua Yue Rong’s face turned white:
“They …… they ……”
Jiang Ran then spoke softly:
“You wait here, I’ll go save the others.”
He searched the surroundings for a moment, then took Hua Yuerong and flew above a large tree, allowing her to sit down.
“This place is still far from the mountain villa, as long as you don’t make too much noise, it is expected that the man in black, with his heavenly ability, won’t be able to detect your presence.”
Hua Yue Rong covered her mouth with both hands and nodded to Jiang Ran.
Only then did Jiang Ran’s figure flicker, as if he were a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived outside that manor.
With another leap, he had jumped above the wall.
When he arrived, he looked down and saw a man in black, striking a palm on a young man who looked like a guard.
After this palm landed, there were trails of blood cracking and spreading all over the young man’s body.
With a jolt of internal force, the man was immediately sent flying by the palm.
While in midair, his body was already in pieces.
As soon as Jiang Ran saw this scene, his face immediately sank:
“So it’s you guys!!!”
What Tang Yuyi said was actually correct, this Jianghu can rely on internal strength, a palm Jiang Ran into pieces, in fact, really not too much.
Jiang Ran was able to do it because of his deep internal strength.
But if you say that just take out a person, are such an expert, that is also never possible.
Now, it seemed that the martial arts practiced by this man in black was extraordinary.
This gang of guards, seems to be because of the inhalation of the smoke, resulting in soft hands and feet, see the enemy coming fierce, do not dare to compete with it, then turn and run.
The man in black was so cold and solemn that when he saw his opponent fleeing, he didn’t even show any sign, just a little step of his foot, and his figure had already arrived behind that person.
Probe palm to hit!
Palm out of the half, oblique suddenly stretched out a hand.
A hand clutched the wrist of this person.
The black-clothed man saw this even more unperturbed, backhand but also to grab Jiang Ran’s palm.
However, Jiang Ran casually returned to the grip, five fingers slightly force, heard a click.
Under the Barbarian Dragon Force, that person’s palm was suddenly deformed.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, this severe pain was by no means ordinary.
But I did not expect, that person still face face without changing color, hands clear but godless, only Sen cold cold killing intent spread.
He made a strong pull, found that he could not draw his hand.
Then foot a little, body shape in the air a turn, by Jiang Ran grabbed his hand force, heard click click click sound after sound, but the bones are broken.
The next moment, he violently yanked back.
A moment of blood dripped!
He was withdrawing, but his palm was still in Jiang Ran’s hand.
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, since he came out of the jianghu, he had encountered all kinds of lost hands.
This a word, on their own broken hand, or the first time to see …… Is this goods can be the same as the gecko, can be reborn with broken limbs?
The thought in his heart fell, saw that person’s feet move, brisk body and up, lifting his arm to viciously stab.
He actually wanted to use his own bones as a sword to completely kill Jiang Ran.
The cold, cold, sharp looking, yet miserably white and bright red intertwined bone stubble had reached his neck in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ran spat out a breath and suddenly flew out with a kick.
The man in black was not expected to be hit so hard, the whole person suddenly flew out in a whirlwind.
Fresh blood sprayed out like no money, but when he landed, he even wanted to stand up.
But suddenly, a pair of feet had appeared in front of him.
Jiang Ran lifted his leg, stepped down, and with a click, the black-clothed man instantly died of gas.
