Chapter 212.

That guard hurried away, and in the twinkling of an eye, he had already disappeared.

Jing Tan Jushi lifted the door curtain and glanced at the plaque with the four big words ‘Purple Moon Villa’ hanging high in front of him, his face was a little complicated for a moment.

Feeling some movement around him, he saw Gu Xi Zhi also struggling to take a look.

He was pushed back by holding his head down mercilessly.

“……”

Gu Xi Zhi was furious, but now the situation does not allow, really can not fight him, so can only be angry a little bit.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, looked at some of the martial artists gathered around him.

Some of these people had heard Jiang Ran’s conversation with the guards just now, and were peeking at Jiang Ran and his party.

There were also people who didn’t care about their arrival.

Jiang Ran’s face didn’t move, but his heart was a little more enlightened about the situation of Purple Moon Villa nowadays.

Just then, he heard Tang Yuyi, who was at the side, say in a low voice:

“There are still so many waiting to meet outside the door, it’s not sure what the situation is inside this door.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“What’s the situation inside the door, we’ll know when we go in and take a look in a little while.”

When the two of them casually chatted for a couple of sentences, they heard a sound of footsteps coming from inside the door.

Looking for the sound, they saw the guard who had just gone in, and an old man with a rich figure and a smile on his face walk out.

Listening to that guard’s words, the old man nodded repeatedly.

Finally, his gaze landed on Jiang Ran and he said with a smile:

“The Amazing Divine Sword is here, Purple Moon Villa is brimming with splendor!

“Old man Meng Xiu, as the Grand Steward of the Purple Moon Villa, I have met the Surprising Godly Blade Jiang Warrior!”

Although he was old, his voice was loud and clear.

After finishing a sentence, all of these Jianghu people around him could hear him clearly.

In an instant, many people’s eyes changed as they looked at Jiang Ran.

To say that in recent times, who was the most famous young man in the jianghu, it was naturally the Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran!

A hand organized tea appreciation qin conference, invited the Jianghu good people gathered three immortal mountain sunset apron to enjoy the burnt ends.

More in this general assembly, one after another, the martial arts of the high unimaginable.

But did not expect, this person actually also came to Purple Moon Villa.

“Could it also be because of the Remnant Sun Sect?”

“Maybe it is!”

“Although the Looking Water Villa’s side is tight-lipped, there are rumors in the grapevine that the reason why the Looking Water Villa was able to remain unharmed that day was because this person happened to be passing by.”

“I’ve also heard of it, and the reason why Hu Wanshan didn’t say anything about it afterward seems to have been entrusted by this person.”

“Meng Huan has been shrewd all his life, and as a result, he slapped his face on this matter of the Remnant Sun Sect. This Shocking God Sword came to Purple Moon Villa only to look for trouble as well.”

“That’s hard to say, I’ve heard that the Shocking God Sword is a knife catcher who only cares about wanted criminals.”

“Purple Moon Villa can endorse the Broken Sun Sect, who knows what it looks like in private? What if, for example, he’s harboring a few wanted criminals?”

“No matter what, there’s a good show to watch!”

“But the Purple Moon Villa won’t let us in, so we won’t be able to watch the show.”

“This is outrageous!”

A group of people were talking, Jiang Ran and Meng Xiu were deaf to this.

He only heard Jiang Ran say with a smile:

“So it’s Steward Meng, it’s rude of the latecomer to take the liberty of coming to the door today.”

“Where do you think Jiang Warrior is coming from? The Shocking God Sword is renowned, but it’s a guest who can’t even be invited in normal times.”

Meng Xiu said this, but pondered slightly:

“It’s just that today’s Jiang Warrior coming over is, in fact, indeed a bit of a coincidence.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran made a stunned look:

“What’s wrong? But what happened in the manor?”

“Changes is good to say …… just, despise Zhuang master a few days ago contracted a strange disease, the physician instructed that these days do not see the wind, it is best to be able to stay out of the house.

“It is so …… that he is afraid that he can’t meet guests these few days.”

Meng Xiu’s face was filled with helplessness when he said this.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, glanced at Jingtan Jushi in the carriage.

For his part, Jingtan Jushi’s face was filled with disinterest.

They hadn’t come here to see Meng Huan at all either.

They were here to see Meng Huan’s daughter-in-law.

Whether Meng Huan was sick or not, they didn’t care at all.

If they had to speak from a vicious perspective, from their standpoint, they really wished for Meng Huan to die right away, with a crunch and a clean cut.

It was a pity that even if Meng Huan died now, many things were already too late.

Jiang Ran withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly:

“I see, but we have traveled a long way …… If we miss this time, we don’t know when we will have the opportunity to visit again.

“Speaking of which, I still don’t know which one is in charge of the manor nowadays?”

“The manor master had previously said that during the period of recuperation, all matters large and small have been handed over to the old man.”

Meng Xiu spoke and laughed:

“Since Jiang Warrior said so, but I wonder if he is willing to stay in the mansion for a few days?

“To wait for Master Zhuang his old man to recover from his illness, and then have a small talk with Jiang Warrior?”

“This is naturally good, but I wonder if it would be a bit abrupt?”

Jiang Ran immediately agreed.

“No it won’t be.”

Meng Xiu said while shaking his head, “Anyway, the current situation can’t get any worse.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Ran froze, “What does Steward Meng mean by that?”

“Nothing, all of you please follow me.”

Meng Xiu said, waving his hand, and the gate opened at once.

Seeing this meaning, he was planning to let Jiang Ran come in together with the carriage.

Jiang Ran glanced around and didn’t push back.

He let Li Tianyu drive the carriage and follow them into the courtyard.

Meng Xiu, on the other hand, had someone settle the carriage down while guiding Jiang Ran and the others to the main hall to serve tea.

This was a process that had to be followed no matter what.

After all, they couldn’t just come in and head straight to the backyard.

Jiang Ran was unimpressed, but when he came to the front door of the main hall, he realized that the situation was not right.

Before he got close, he heard the sound of shouting and cursing coming from inside the door.

Immediately followed by the movement of fists and feet breaking the wind, obviously the people inside moved.

Jiang Ran silently glanced at Meng Xiu, who stomped his foot:

“Why are we fighting again?”

Between words, he stepped forward and shouted at the door:

“Stop!!!”

As a result, as soon as he showed up, Jiang Ran saw a punch and a kick arrive in front of Meng Xiu at the same time.

This rich old man saw this, but he didn’t panic a bit.

The footsteps changed, the body shape of a slippery turn, has already let go of this fist and foot body.

Immediately following the body shape of a collision, directly into the two people within the scope of the exchange of hands, at the same time to hit the two palms.

The left and right people each received a move.

All three people’s bodies were slightly shaken, Meng Xiu’s brows were slightly knitted, his face vaguely whitened, only, after all, separating these two people who were fighting, he immediately droned:

“Gentlemen, this is Purple Moon Villa!

“If you all have any personal grudges you wish to settle, by all means go out and fight.

“Don’t start a fight within my Purple Moon Villa, this place must not be left to you and others to go unchecked!”

Just as Meng Xiu said these words, Jiang Ran’s group had also arrived.

Taking a look inside the door, there were a total of four people present.

There were two standing, their breath uneven, obviously the two who fought just now.

And the seated are an old man of poisonous cigarettes, followed by a little girl, is rubbing his shoulders, the old man himself bared a mouthful of big yellow teeth, is barking barking smoking pot.

Swallowing clouds and spitting out smoke, so painful.

Sitting opposite the old man, but a woman.

Although she is sitting there, but one leg is stepping on the chair, a rather small-looking fan, was her with two fingers pinch, in the fingertips gently swaying.

For the change in the scene, did not even look at a glance.

The old man’s left hand side is an old Taoist priest, the old Taoist has a good big rosacea, this will be all the smell of alcohol, is snoring, sleeping soundly.

Opposite the old Taoist is sitting a thirty-year-old man.

He was born with a strong spirit and sat straight.

His eyes swept over Meng Xiu from time to time, and then swept over Jiang Ran and his party.

It finally settled on his two hands, silent.

The two people who made the move, on the other hand, were not very old.

One was a woman dressed in plain clothes with cool eyes, while the other was a little fat man covered in jewelry.

At this time, the two people were still glaring at each other.

In the end, it was the little fatty who spoke first:

“Good men don’t fight with women, fat masters don’t fight with girls, you a little woman, know what the hell of the jianghu!”

After saying that, angry swooshing to go to sit down.

Jiang Ran at this time, but the eyes flash, see that the fat ass after sitting down, but the chair clattered directly broken open, he honestly sat on his butt on the ground, the whole person is a little bit blindfolded:

“This …… Steward Meng, your Purple Moon Villa’s chairs, most of them are not sturdy.”

Meng Xiu froze, and without waiting to open his mouth, he heard the woman with the folding fan, snicker:

“Purple Moon Villa’s chairs, even in how unsturdy they are, it’s not so bad that you’d break them with a single butt.

“In my opinion, you’re just too fat and still not willing to admit it.

“Every day you dress yourself up as if you were a country squire, what kind of jianghu are you mixed up in?”

“Me, whether I’m fat or not, what do I wear, what has it got to do with being a jianghu? Can’t you let the fat man also dream of the jianghu?”

Little Fatty was a hundred times unconvinced, a thousand times indignant, and shouted at Meng Xiu again:

“Look at the chairs in your house! Is this how Purple Moon Villa treats its guests?”

“Little Fatty, I advise you to stay calm.”

The woman who had fought him earlier glanced at him at this moment:

“With your three-legged kung fu, don’t turn around and let Steward Meng throw you into the back garden and dismantle it as flower fertilizer.

“With this body of yours, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to water the most beautiful flowers.

“By the way, I’ve heard that Madam Meng likes flowers and plants the most, maybe you can make Steward Meng think highly of you from this?”

Little Fatty’s entire body instantly turned green and hastily shook his head:

“Nonsense, how can you take a living person and plant flowers?”

Meng Xiu then sighed:

“Miss Lin doesn’t know, ever since the lady got that big illness years ago, she couldn’t smell anything like flowers or plants.

“But whenever she smells it, her body breaks out in a red rash and she has a high fever.”

“There is actually this matter?”

The woman nodded slightly, her gaze skipping over Meng Xiu to Jiang Ran and the others.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard a whirring sound, and that old Taoist priest, not knowing what nightmare he had, stood up all of a sudden, his gaze encircling:

“How come it seems like there are experts hovering around?”

“An expert?”

The woman sneered:

“Which one here is not an expert?”

While saying that, she used her gaze to survey Jiang Ran’s body, looking from top to bottom.

“Wild Dog Old Tao’s nose is the best, which one can be messed with and which one can’t be messed with, he has always smelled it clearly.”

The one-eyed old man let out a light laugh, smiling at Jiang Ran and the others in front of the door:

“Yet I don’t know, how do you all address yourselves?”

Meng Xiu then remembered that he hadn’t been introduced, and immediately said in a hurry:

“Gentlemen, this is the recently renowned Frightening God Sword Jiang Ran, Swordsman Jiang!!!”

“Frightening God Sword?”

“Jiang Ran …… the knife catcher?”

“The one from the Tea and Qin Appreciation Conference?”

When the people in the hall heard this, they all landed their gazes on Jiang Ran’s body.

They saw Jiang Ran clasp his fists:

“Greetings to all of you.”

Meng Xiu, on the other hand, introduced Jiang Ran to a few more people in the hall.

The one-eyed old man’s compound surname was Dugu, Dugu Xiong.

He was the current head of the Dugu family.

The little girl following beside him was his granddaughter, named Dugu Yan.

The woman opposite him was surnamed Lin.

The Lin family’s third wife, Lin Evening Yi.

And the old Taoist priest’s Taoist name was really Wild Dog, and Taoist Master Wild Dog came from the Great Cold Gang.

He was the vice master of the Great Cold Gang.

As for the man opposite him, who was a dragon and tiger, he was the helmsman of the Qingfeng Pavilion’s branch rudder.

Surnamed Shang, called Shang Qianhu.

The man and woman who fought earlier, on the other hand, were both jianghu casuals, no gangs or factions.

The little fat man called himself Noble Duke.

A body of beads and jewelry, just on the neck, inside three layers outside three layers are wearing several necklaces, there are pearls and agates, there are also golden gold big chain.

On each of the ten fingers, there was a ring.

Above inlaid with rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other types of treasures.

The little fat man was born very pleasant, talking and laughing let people can not help but give birth to some good feelings.

As for a woman in plain clothes, calling herself Chu Yuniang.

In the jianghu silent and unknown, the reason why she can set foot here, because, with the three feet of green blade in her palm, she fought hard to come in.

In the end, she was honored by Meng Xiu.

The noble gentleman was because he was not used to seeing Chu Yuniang in such a posture, which was why he had verbal arguments with her from time to time, and eventually fought.

After the crowd had been introduced, Daoist Wild Dog lifted his nose and sniffed, looking at Jiang Ran and said:

“It’s really an expert, awesome awesome!

“This is dang awesome!!!”

Lin Evening Yi glanced at him:

“How powerful?”

“This ……”

Wild Dog Daoist said after thinking carefully for a moment:

“Let’s put it this way, tying the bunch of you together wouldn’t be enough to slap him.”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the arena, including Jiang Ran, all changed their faces.

This was not something that could be said casually.

The world, all want face, even if each other meet originally no injustice, suddenly someone pointed at the nose of one of the people, said to him, you such as the other one.

That in order to face, also have to let people know to know whether he is good or not.

Wild Dog Taoist’s words had thrown Jiang Ran into the face of all the people present.

Jiang Ran glanced at this old Daoist, and saw this old Daoist grinning lightly, as if he was completely unaware of what he had done.

Meng Xiu, on the other hand, hurriedly rounded up the situation:

“Wild Dog Taoist has always liked to talk nonsense, so don’t be offended by Jiang Warrior.

“Come, come, please also take a seat.

“Old me has prepared some wine and food to receive you all.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave.

Just then, he heard Dugu Xiong shout:

“Wait.”

Meng Xiu had no choice but to stop and look back at Dugu Xiong:

“Does Family Master Dugu have any other orders?”

“I don’t ask anything else, I’m just asking you for an exact word …… on when exactly Meng Huan will be able to come out to see us!

“You must know that the matter of the Remnant Sun Sect is now in full swing.

“Hu Wanshan is even spreading his money widely, spreading this news further and further, and before I came here, I even heard that someone from the Blazing Blade Sect already knew about it and was planning to go down to the mountains to get rid of the demons.

“Our East County Mansion’s matter, if it leads to the Seven Sect’s hand, what face do we people have to walk the rivers and lakes in the future?

“You’d better let Meng Huan give a quick word to explain clearly what happened at that time, and after that, the manpower should be organized to organize manpower, and the investigation should be carried out.

“Always not more can let others meddle in our East County House!

“If he is really unsuitable, then the old man will be in the name of the Dugu family, inviting the good people of the jianghu to get rid of the devil together!”

Dugu Xiong spoke forcefully and loudly.

Meng Xiu nodded and said with a clasped fist:

“The old family master’s words are reasonable, it’s just that the Zhuang Master is infected with an evil disease, and while he doesn’t dare to see the wind, it’s actually because he doesn’t want to pass on this evil disease to all of you.

“Now the only thing is to wait for this malady to fade away …… Physician said, at least three days time before you can see people, but also please lonely family master to forgive.”

“Humph.”

Lin Lian Yi sneered:

“He can’t be that he doesn’t want to see us and deliberately came up with a pretext?”

“This is naturally not ……”

Meng Xiu hurriedly shook his head, “After the incident at the Remnant Sun Sect, the family head was unable to sleep at night, he only hated that his body was sick and couldn’t deal with it, otherwise, he would have already come out to meet you all. Please, all of you, be at ease.”

“Alright, alright, people are already sick, why force it?”

Noble Duke frowned, “Although it’s true that Lord Meng Zhuang is suspected of faking his illness, but in case it’s true, then what should we do?”

“Speaking of which ……”

The helmsman of that Qingfeng Pavilion subhelm who hadn’t spoken up all this time slowly spoke up at this time:

“I heard that Meng Zhuangzhu’s wife, Mrs. Meng, and Meng Zhuangzhu have always been in love with each other,” he said.

“They are husband and wife as one, now Meng Zhuangzhu is infected with malignant disease, can not see people …… why not ask Mrs. Meng to see?”

Meng Xiu heard this, but subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ran behind the Jingtan Jushi.

This glance solved a doubt in Jiang Ran’s mind.

Previously, he had let the guard go in to inform him, but he had said that he had come with the Jingtan Jushi of the Yaxin Xiaozhu, as well as one of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword Gu Xi.

As a result, after Meng Xiu came out, he never mentioned these two people.

Originally Jiang Ran thought, is that the guard did not say all …… now seems, not did not say all, but know they are, but deliberately turn a blind eye.

Now after hearing Mrs. Meng, this is why he looked at Jingtan Jushi.

Could it be that this Meng Xiu also knew the intricate relationship between Jingtan Jushi as well as Gu Xi Zhi and this Guan Jinqiu?

“This ……”

Meng Xiu took a deep breath and said:

“For this matter, please allow me to report to Madam before making a decision.

“All of you, all of you just don’t make things difficult for the old man first ……”

When the words were said, the crowd also nodded.

Around now it was not yet time to tear their faces off, and all they wanted was just a word.

And after waiting for Meng Xiu to leave, they saw that Lin Evening Yi suddenly glanced at Jiang Ran:

“We’ve all heard of Jiang Warrior’s reputation.

“Just tea tasting and qin appreciation conference, I don’t have that kind of elegance, can’t appreciate, also didn’t go ……

“Now that the opportunity is rare, the Wild Dog Taoist has blown Young Warrior Jiang to the sky again.

“I’m not talented, I want to take a ride with Jiang warrior, I don’t know what Jiang warrior thinks?”

Jiang Ran sighed …… What should come is still coming!
