Chapter 96.

Jiang Ran silently listened to Tie Cheng, and when he finished this sentence, he glanced at Li Tianxin:

“You’ve always been very knowledgeable, have you ever heard of this old monster?”

“I have heard of it.”

Li Tianxin nodded:

“Only, there isn’t much news about this person, and he came and went without a trace when he moved to the land of the five kingdoms back then.

“Few people were able to capture traces of his person.

“But I’ve heard that it didn’t really take much effort for him to kill those few masters of the moment.

“All in three moves, he had already decapitated them.

“It’s just that there are so many different opinions about his blade techniques, and the Nine Blades of the Amazing God is only one of them.

“But no one has ever been able to corroborate it.”

Jiang Ran gently exhaled.

Mr. Big had once told him that the Nine Blades of the Surprising God had disappeared from the Jianghu for a full hundred years.

The old drunkard had fought all over the world with this knife method, attacking and killing experts, but he came and went without a trace, and even if there were people who witnessed it, I’m afraid it would be difficult to distinguish what knife method he used from between his three moves and two styles.

All, but are just guessing.

And in this way, Mr. Big’s words, is not wrong.

It is just that there is something hidden ……

Jiang Ran felt that within the Cangzhou Prefecture Inn, it was likely that Mr. Big had come to find himself because of this matter.

After all, it involved a great man who had crossed the world in the past, and for the Wenmo Pavilion, I’m afraid it would be hard to give up easily.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran then set his eyes on Tie Cheng again:

“And then?”

“Since he left the Left Road Manor, he went to the ‘Poison God Valley’, ‘Illusory World Sea Tower’, ‘Yao Family Manor’ and so on, and every time he went there, he went there to ask for an thing.

“And some of these things are the heirloom treasures of that sect, while others are not worth mentioning.

“The former is naturally difficult to obtain, and there are few big fights.

“The latter is good, know who he is the case, take the initiative to hand it over, he will turn around and leave.

“That period of time, everyone in the jianghu is in danger, afraid that this person to find the door.

“Paradoxically, this person’s movements are secretive, even if the smell of ink pavilion that sensitive sense of smell, but also can not capture the traces, to wait for news to be sent back, that person has long gone to another place.

“So, after another three months, he completely disappeared.

“Reappearance, is not long ago in this Penma County.”

Tie Cheng spoke softly:

“During these twenty years, some people said that he had already died, after all, his personality was domineering and misbehaving, and he would pull out his sword and kill people at the drop of a hat.

“If he met an expert he couldn’t defeat, he was killed without a sound, and it was only natural that his body would be shared by wolves.

“Others say that he was tired of the fighting and killing in the jianghu and simply retired to the mountains.

“But no matter which kind, this person once in the jianghu have left a deep and extreme traces ……

“Therefore, even after twenty years, after the news of this person appearing in the jianghu once again, there are people who immediately come to the door.

“Now the one who comes is Zuo Dao Zhuang, the Illusory World Sea Tower disappeared without a trace many years ago, but I don’t know if this time it will also come on the wind.

“Yao family manor such a place, most likely there is no chance to find him trouble again …… Since he went, Yao family manor began to fall apart.

“When it was five or six years ago, it gradually faded out of the jianghu.”

“With his own strength, he stirred up this jianghu, but people’s understanding of him is still shallow, so much so that they don’t even know the kungfu he practiced.”

Li Tianxin listened with languid fascination:

“What kind of skill is this, if I had three points of his kung fu, I wouldn’t have run here to suffer from your anger.”

“You’re talking to me?”

Jiang Ran glanced at him.

Li Tianxin ignored him, pretending not to hear.

“Alright, then tell me more, who did this old monster meet in Penma Town?”

“Don’t know.”

After Tie Cheng finished painfully, he said again in a hurry:

“If we knew, we wouldn’t have to go to such great lengths.

“All we know is that they met at Fuyuan House that day, and the person he met afterward is nowhere to be found.

“Because time has passed too long, our gang even if we want to investigate, but also extremely difficult …… so the idea hit the official government and this local snake body.

“The words I said are all true, please be magnanimous and spare my life.”

“Raise your hand high?”

Jiang Ran looked at his palm.

Tie Cheng’s face went white:

“I …… don’t mean that.”

Jiang Ran didn’t slap him to death after he laughed:

“Go on, what else do you know? They met at Fuyuan House, how long did they meet?

“During that long time, what kind of wine did they order and what kind of dishes did they eat?

“The proprietor of Fuyuan House, you should have already looked for him, and what did he say?

“The man he met with, what kind of clothes did he wear?

“Since Fuyuan House left, in which direction did they respectively go?

“Since the old monster chose to meet with him in Penma County, is this person a local of Penma County?

“Among these questions I asked, you are able to answer a few is a few.”

Tie Cheng listened to the brain cold sweat, ambiguous, in the end there is only one question can be answered.

The person that the old monster saw was a man with a thin figure.

But could not see the face clearly, he wore a big bucket hat on his head, covering half of his face.

And what has been able to determine is a man, because the voice is old and low, never a woman’s appearance, plus from that under the hat can see the white beard.

Clothing is not gorgeous, is a set of ordinary linen clothes.

There is no special flavor on the body, only a faint aroma.

Jiang Ran nodded as he listened, he answered so meticulously, it should be that the person who asked was also very meticulous.

A skinny old man with a bucket hat, with a white beard, wearing linen clothes, and an aroma on his body.

After a slight contemplation, Jiang Ran said to Li Tianxin:

“Break his legs.”

Li Tianxin glanced at Jiang Ran, skimmed his lips, walked up to follow him, and with a sweep of the single knife in his hand, he heard two clicks.

The bones of Tie Cheng’s legs were instantly shattered.

The mournful screams sounded at once, and at the same time, he was still very confused …… himself has had what to say, how to break his own legs?

Good thing that the leg is not painted Jiangran just wiped something on his head, otherwise, he did not dare to imagine what he would suffer.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

Li Tianxin looked back:

“It’s Old Ma coming.”

“Open the door.”

Jiang Ran said softly.

Li Tianxin nodded and stood still.

Until Master Ma arrived at the door and was about to reach out and knock on the door, only then did Li Tianxin flutter his sleeves, his internal energy moved, and the door of the room was instantly shaken open by his internal force.

Master Ma stood outside the door with his claws rooted and stayed for a while before he hurriedly clasped his fists:

“Swordsman Knight.”

“Come in.”

Li Tianxin opened his mouth indifferently, his expression cold and arrogant.

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while …… Is this considered to be a manifestation of sainthood before people?

Master Ma sniffed and hurriedly came in, first glancing at Tie Cheng, who was lying on the ground, his head sweating from the pain.

Another glance at Jiang Ran sitting on the side, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

Immediately, he hurriedly saluted again.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“There’s no need to be polite, Master Ma, I asked you to come over in order to instruct you on one thing.”

“Jiang Warrior just say it, up the mountain of knives and down the frying pan, my old horse will never frown.”

Master Ma patted his chest and assured.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Rather, there’s no need for you to make such a big sacrifice.”

He reached out and pointed at Tie Cheng:

“Behind this man, there are still experts, he planted his head tonight, the next one to come may be the high ranking person behind him.”

Master Ma’s face suddenly turned a little white upon hearing this.

Tonight just one Tie Cheng, if he really moved to kill, killing them would be like killing a chicken or duck.

Now that he heard that there are still experts behind Tie Cheng, how is this …… this going to be good?

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, smiled:

“But don’t worry, they have a request.

“Although the method of begging is not quite the same as normal people, but, you just have to oblige them.

“As for Tie Cheng …… you just say that tonight after he knocked you down, and tortured a few of your men.

“Then leaving his command, he departed.

“Where it went and what it did, you don’t know a thing.

“Do you understand?”

“Yes, Old Ma understands.”

Master Ma nodded his head immediately, and did understand Jiang Ran’s meaning.

“It’s good if you understand.”

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“Fix up the courtyard as soon as possible, don’t let anyone see the cracks.

“It’s expected that even if they find it, they’ll have to come here tomorrow night……. This night’s work should be about the same, and they may not be able to see the break under the night.”

“Yes.”

Master Ma immediately nodded: “What else does the Jiang Warrior command?”

“Go.”

Jiang Ran said:

“What I instructed you to do earlier can be dispensed with, so follow the clues they gave you next.

“However, no matter what the result is, tell me first.”

“As you command!”

Master Ma clasped his fists fiercely before he turned around and retreated.

Li Tianxin watched him leave and tsked:

“You saved their lives tonight, this old horse seems to be truly convinced of you.”

Jiang Ran glanced at him:

“So what?”

“You’re a person who most likely doesn’t have any friends.”

Li Tianxin shook his head and turned to go out.

Jiang Ran laughed dumbly, what kind of friends does a person who is about to die want?

Turning to look at that Tie Cheng:

“Go, take you to a different place.”

Tie Cheng: “??”

……

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Yesterday night, Dugu Yu and Yin Yue Niang did come to find Master Ma.

It was just as Jiang Ran expected.

Master Ma had also made sufficient preparations for this, and had even tossed his three brethren, each of whom had sustained minor injuries.

After Dugu Yu and Yin Yue Niang’s inspection, they were considered to have passed the test.

Just instructed them to do things as soon as possible, what news first notify them.

After that, there is the county court.

Now is the moon on the willow, late at night when people are quiet.

A black shadow swiftly in the darkness of the ups and downs jump, but in a moment has arrived in front of the county office.

The leader gently waved his hand, this group of black-clothed people immediately dispersed.

From all sides, they broke into it.

Some of the magistrates on guard discovered their traces and were either knocked out by them or mesmerized by ecstasy.

In the blink of an eye, this line of people rushed to the front of the courtyard where they always lived.

When they were about to set foot in it, a flash of extremely sharp sword qi swiftly descended from the sky.

Before the first person could react to what was happening, he was already split in two by the sword Qi.

“It’s her!”

During this day, the other places were peaceful, but this county office was still not peaceful.

They had struck twice, each time returning in defeat.

Although Shimiao was straightforward in nature, but her martial arts skills were strangely high, and that day if it wasn’t for that Yin Gong Phantom Drum, which left her without a method of defense, those six people would have died under her sword long ago.

The crowd looked up at this time, I really saw when Miao a white dress, standing in the courtyard building above.

Night stars for its curtain, as if out of the dust fairy.

Her long sword rebuttal flashes cold aura, eyes between a turn, is even more cold air rose.

A word, will be out of the sword to kill.

A group of black people for a moment do not dare to move.

This woman is really to one person’s strength, deterring many left-handed experts.

But right at this moment, two silhouettes, one left and one right, flew up.

A woman who wore black clothes, with the slightest hint of a sickly look amongst her delicate face.

Underneath her shirts, something seemed to be shaking slightly.

The other was a man with a short body of five, and underneath his buttocks, there was a golden tripod.

The two men were separated to the left and right, looking at Timiao, when they heard Jin Sanding heave a laugh:

“Danyang Sword Sect waifu, your martial arts skills are high.

“But these people we’ve come here today are no pushovers either.

“You may be able to kill us, but if we want to kill Changnian, you won’t be able to stop us.”

Timiao’s eyes were stern as he coldly glanced at Jin Sanding:

“You can try.”

Jin Sanding only felt that this look was really like a sword, being glanced at by her was like being pointed at by a sword from afar.

Could not help but shiver, dryly laughed:

“If a woman is too fierce, she won’t be able to get married in the future, you don’t want to be a widow in the future, just like Mrs. Wu, right?”

“I pooh!”

Niangzi Wu sneered from the side:

“She doesn’t even have the qualifications to be a widow, how could anyone want to marry a sword?

“Besides, what’s wrong with being a widow? Widows are much more comfortable, I just like to come and kick the door down.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll go kick down the door after I finish my business tonight.”

Jin Sanding leapt at the words.

Wu Niangzi smiled even more flirtatiously:

“That would be great, my little babies, there’s something to eat again.”

“…… You like kicking in widows’ doors, are you planning to use it to feed those poisonous things of yours?”

“What else? What else could it be used for?”

The two people suddenly talked to death this day.

The three-foot green blade in Timiao’s palm trembled slightly, clearly having been pressed.

And just then, Changnian’s voice came out from the room:

“All of you have arrived late at night, what are you doing here?”

With a creak, the door of the room opened and Chang Nian stepped out of the room with a face full of official authority, his gaze sweeping between the group of evils in the scene.

“Lord Chang.”

Wu Niangzi smiled faintly:

“Greetings, my lord, it turns out that your lord looks like this.

“In the past two days, I have sent people to invite you twice, but Lord Chang was not willing to honor us with his presence.

“This is why, there is nothing we can do but come in person.”

“It turns out that the ones who came to the county office to cause chaos these past few days were you demons.”

Changnian’s face sank:

“This is the county office of the Golden Cicada Dynasty, this official is the county magistrate of the Golden Cicada Dynasty, and all of you are the people of the Golden Cicada Dynasty.

“This kind of arrogance, do you want to rebel?”

“Don’t dare.”

Lady Wu smiled:

“I’m here today, I just want to ask Lord Chang for a favor.”

“What if this official says no?”

Chang Nian’s face was cold.

“You are the county magistrate, what else can we do if you say you won’t help?

“It’s nothing more than killing all the people within this county office, and finally sending Lord Chang to his death as well is all.

“By the way, this little girl on the roof who protects you three times, must also suffer!”

Jin Sanding said with a smile, “Lord Chang even if you are not afraid to die, you also have to consider the safety of the people around you, right?”

“You …… you are bold!!!”

Chang Nian was enraged, “Simply outrageous, outrageous!”

“We are bold and daring and it didn’t start today, Lord Chang and listen well, the first thing.

“About twenty days ago, Fuyuan Building, there is a head wearing a hat, the body of the old man dry and thin, we want to know where this person.

“This is something that we may not be able to investigate with our skills, but with Lord Chang’s skills, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Wu Niangzi also did not give him the opportunity to say more, directly said:

“The second thing …… is about twenty years ago.”

Chang Nian was still furious, but when he heard this, he froze again:

“Twenty years ago?”

At the same time, Jiang Ran, who was sitting quietly in the room, also froze.

The first thing was not out of his expectation.

But this second thing, where did it begin?

Speaking of which, Jiang Ran had also felt odd earlier.

If one merely wanted to investigate the person who met with the old drunkard that day, it shouldn’t have been necessary to arrest Chang Nian, take away his face, and then replace him with another person.

It was too tedious and troublesome.

What’s more, just going to Master Ma would have solved the problem.

Now it seemed they had another purpose.

That was why they had to resort to the county office.

Changnian had calmed down quite a bit by now, but he couldn’t help but frown:

“How can things from twenty years ago be traced today?

“You and others should not be whimsical!”

“There are clues.”

Jin Sanding said with a smile:

“One winter twenty years ago, a man came to Penma County holding a child.

“He stayed in Penma County for a few days.

“The child was too small, just a few days old, and the man had no milk to feed it.

The man could only find a family that had just given birth to a child and borrowed milk to feed the child for the time being.”

“As a token of appreciation, he left a token of appreciation for the family,” he said.

“And he said that twenty years later, if any of his disciples were in danger, they would only need to come to him with this token, and he would help them, no matter what kind of trouble they were in.

“What we want to trouble Lord Chang is to find a way …… to find the young couple from back then, and then, find that token.”

Jiang Ran quietly listened, twenty years ago, winter, infant, token.

The child …… they were talking about couldn’t be themselves, could it?

Jiang Ran cast his gaze out of the window, suddenly feeling that he and this Prancing Horse County, seemed to be quite destined to each other.

At the same time, Changnian seemed to be caught in the middle of a heavenly battle.

Only after a long time did he open his mouth in a cold voice:

“This matter this official cannot do.

“Twenty years of wind and clouds have changed, the person you are talking about may not still be in Penma County today.”

“Lord Chang need not worry, if they have already left Penma County, the Lord only needs to hand over clues as to where they have gone.”
