Chapter 167.

The sound of footsteps outside came abruptly.

The words that Jiang Ran and Dao Wu Ming had originally intended to say came to a halt.

Immediately afterward, a voice could be heard:

“The rusher is traveling through here and would like to borrow a room for the night, I wonder if it’s convenient for the master?”

Jiang Ran’s brows furrowed slightly:

“Have we seen a ghost today? Why does every voice sound familiar?”

Tang Yuyi was puzzled:

“It sounds familiar to me too ……”

Ruan Yuqing then glanced at the two of them:

“I hear how this voice sounds like, Tianyang Dart Bureau’s Chief Bodyguard Cheng Tianyang.”

As these words fell, Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi were both stunned.

At the same time, the hunched old man had already stepped forward and pushed open the door of the pavilion stage:

“Where are you officials again?”

There was still a group of people in the house whose identities hadn’t been verified, and now there was another group in the courtyard.

This made the ickle old man’s attitude, obviously more and more grumpy.

Jiang Ran glanced at this old man with an odd expression in his eyes, and his gaze crossed over to the group of people standing outside the door.

This group of people were obviously also dumbfounded by this hunched old man’s question.

The leader of the group stood with his hands clasped in the freshly fallen raindrops, both eyes a little confused.

It was Cheng Tianyang who had a brief encounter within the Red Maple Villa that day.

After the end of the Red Maple Villa Shi Pingzhang matter, Jiang Ran had entrusted him to go to Cangzhou Province to Liu Wenshan and Ye Konggu dowry prepared for the two daughters to send over.

This goodbye, see each other again is now.

Only this trip, Cheng Tianyang is not alone.

There were carriages around him, six in total.

Each carriage, are pulling three or four large boxes, boxes with seals, looks sealed very tight.

Next to the carriages were all Tianyang Dart Bureau’s dart masters, dart leaders, and trippers.

Now they are looking at the house with their hands on the cooler.

Cheng Tianyang did not know the root of the matter, not details, was about to open his mouth to speak.

Just then he heard a familiar voice coming from the house:

“So it’s Mr. Cheng, it’s been a long time, where are you planning to go this time?”

Cheng Tianyang froze and looked up to see Jiang Ran pressing his sword with one hand and slowly stepping forward.

When he met his eyes, he gave him a wink.

Cheng Tianyang as the head of the dart board, that is old in the jianghu, rich experience is not ordinary people can compare.

When he heard the words, he immediately thought about it, although he did not know how the specific details, but Jiang Ran had this word out, when it was to let himself cooperate, he smiled and said:

“Isn’t this brother Jiang? Really is where life does not meet.

“Truthfully …… I am going to make a trip to the Evergreen House on this trip to escort a batch of …… ordnance.

“I didn’t expect to meet Brother Jiang here.”

To say it was unexpected was actually not unexpected.

Jiang Ran wants to hold a tea tasting and qin appreciation conference in Sunset Ping thing, the rivers and lakes have long been rumored.

The Tianyang Dart Bureau was not interested in such things.

However, if someone entrusted them to escort darts to Evergreen House, then naturally, they couldn’t not come.

Rather, he didn’t expect to meet Jiang Ran and the others in this Autumn Rhetoric Post.

The rickety old man was taken aback when he heard the two men’s repartee:

“What? Is the Evergreen Mansion going to be at war with someone?

“Is it the Li Kingdom that’s fighting its way in? Or is it the Green Country’s thieving heart that won’t stop? Alas, the war of the five kingdoms has just subsided for a few springs, how come there’s war again?”

When he said this, he rubbed his hands vigorously, seemingly eager, and turned in circles all over the place.

But in the end, he sighed:

“First put things away properly, military things, can not be sloppy and careless.

“Come in, come in and talk.”

Cheng Tianyang glanced at Jiang Ran with an uncertain look.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly.

Only then did Cheng Tianyang beckon his men behind him to start dumping things.

Unloading the car, unsaddling and tethering the horses, a set of processes down, tossing and turning was quite troublesome.

After settling them down, the old man forgot that Dao Wu Ming had not yet verified their identities.

Afterwards, the old man asked Cheng Tianyang what they would like to eat, and he went to the back kitchen to make a meal.

Cheng Tianyang was even more careful than Jiang Ran, and directly said that they had brought dry food and water, so they could just eat at will.

The old man didn’t make much of a fuss either and just nodded:

“There are some chickens and ducks raised in the backyard, and some wine stored in the cellar.

“If you guys like it, just go get it yourselves.

“When you go to bed at night, lock the doors and windows.

“This land, ah, I don’t know when it started, it’s not peaceful ……

“So ah, don’t wander around at night.

“There is a possibility that you may encounter something unclean.”

He was already long and sinister, and when this statement came out, it really scared a few of the timid ones present.

Of course, the one who was the least out of it was Tang Yuyi.

She swallowed her saliva, forcibly holding on to the mask of ‘Li Tianxin’ not to fall down, and pretended to say proudly:

“You old man, don’t talk nonsense. In this world, where are there any demons and devils?”

Li Tianyu nodded repeatedly:

“What elder brother said is good, not to mention that there isn’t, even if there really is, elder brother’s sword technique isn’t a vegetarian, when it destroys ghosts and beheads gods, let them see what is called the righteous blade of the earth!”

Tang Yuyi immediately glanced at Li Tianyu.

She said, “If you look at a place where no one is around, I’ll fend you off with a knife.

Jiang Ran smiled at his words, and seeing that the old man still wanted to speak, he said with a smile:

“The old man first go to rest, the things you instructed us to pay attention to, we will not run around at night.

“Wait for tomorrow morning, we will depart.”

“Good.”

The old man nodded at his words:

“Then eat early, after eating, rest early …… Hey, old old old, sleepy at night, wake up when the rooster crows, can’t do camping ah.”

He said while taking the oil lamp and went out the door.

With his hand barely in this wind and rain, he protected the bean grain-sized fire light fading away.

“What’s wrong with this man?”

After waiting for this old man to leave, Dao Wu Ming finally couldn’t help but ask:

“The Autumn Rhetoric Stage has been abandoned for a long time as I recall, where did this person come from?”

“You’re asking me, I still want to ask you.”

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly, “Your identity is not simple, most of you walk around the various post stations, in the past when you traveled through this place, you have never encountered this person?”

Dao Wu Ming shook his head categorically:

“Such honor, if I had the chance to meet him, would I forget?”

“What’s going on? Brother Jiang, isn’t this old man from the stage?”

Cheng Tianyang also stepped forward at this time:

“Speaking of which, Mister Cheng has also heard of the matter of the Autumn Resignation Stage being abandoned a long time ago. That’s why the party drew up this route ……

“But I didn’t expect that when I came here today, not only were you guys here, but there was also an old man who asked us what kind of official we were.

“Genuinely, this is a big surprise to me.”

Jiang Ran’s expression was a bit odd when he heard this:

“Everyone has only heard about this Autumn Rhetoric Stage?”

Dao Wu Ming nodded:

“It’s not like I’ve been here before, so naturally I’ve only heard about it.”

“Escorting darts to walk the river, running around everywhere, although there are familiar routes, but there are also places that have never been walked …… truthfully, this land, Cheng Mou is really the first time to come.”

Cheng Tianyang also stated that he had never been to this land in the past.

Jiang Ran’s fingertips lightly tapped on the tabletop, and glanced at Feng Wu and Ning Jiuji Kite again:

“Where are the two of you?”

Feng Wu hummed:

“I’ve passed by this place before, but didn’t come in.”

Speak properly, what are you humming about?

A second ‘Li Tianxin’?

Jiang Ran was a bit speechless for a moment.

Instead, it was Ning Jiu Kite who smiled and said:

“Young warrior Jiang doesn’t know, this place has a bad environment, and there have been some strange stories.

“So ……

“Although we walk in the jianghu, for this kind of strange force mess God thing, often do not put in the heart, but also have to be prepared for the eventuality.

“Therefore there are also few people stay here.

“If not for the bad weather tonight, we would not have come here.”

“Strange news and strange stories?”

Tang Yuyi fully expressed what it meant to be curious the smaller one’s guts were, a human vegetable addiction:

“What strange stories?”

“It’s all about catching things.”

Ning Jiu Kite thought for a moment and said:

“Around seven or eight years ago, there were several murders in this Autumn Rhetoric Stage.

“At that time, it was rumored that there was an official from the capital who passed through here and stayed overnight …… The next day, he woke up and his head was nowhere to be found, and there was also a follower who traveled with him, who also disappeared.

“This matter is not small, it is rumored that the dragon face was furious, and immediately ordered the autumn resignation county to investigate the case thoroughly.

“But since the beginning of this, to investigate the case of the constable, traveling through this area of the officials, there are often met with untimely.

“And the deaths are all very tragic.

“Most of them were killed, and some of them disappeared into thin air.

“Some people even swore that when they lived at the Autumn Dictionary, they saw headless ghosts floating outside the Autumn Dictionary, asking ‘Have you ever seen my head? .

“The word spread more and more viciously, and some even said that if you answered ‘I have never seen it.

“He would then say ‘My head, is it not on your neck?’ and remove the head in a hard way.

“If you answer ‘I have seen it,’ he will ask you to take him to his head.

“Then you will only have to lead him in a circle, and when the rooster crows and the day dawns, he will disappear. ……

“However, most of them are just words, many people say that they have seen it, but in fact, they are also blackmail, they are not credible.

“But this place often accidents, or make people panic.

“This is why the Autumn Resignation Post was forced to relocate, and set up a new post twenty miles away.

“Since then, this place has gradually gone unnoticed.”

Hearing this, Tang Wuyi gripped the knife in her hand with a death grip and said to Jiang Ran:

“In my opinion, this place should not stay for long ……”

Ruan Yuqing nodded repeatedly:

“Exactly exactly, what brother Li said is very true.”

“……”

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, “Seven or eight years ago, I think that even if there was someone pretending to be a god here back then, they would have long gone by now. Moreover, isn’t that old man alive and well? Don’t scare yourself.

“It’s most dangerous to rush on a rainy night.

“Let’s eat first, after that, have a good night’s rest, we’ll all be alert tonight, even if there’s really something wrong, it’s expected that it might not be able to help you and me.”

Hearing Jiang Ran say this, Tang Yuyi could only secretly exhale a breath, forcibly holding back her fear and nodding her head.

Feng Wu glanced at her, a little puzzled:

“This brother, are you a big old man still afraid of these subtle things?”

“I ……”

Tang Yuyi immediately let out a cold laugh, “Ridiculous!”

Feng Wu also let out a cold laugh, but did not continue to provoke, just looked at Jiang Ran.

It had the meaning of ‘although your martial arts are high, the people around you are not very good’.

Jiang Ran ignored him and greeted the crowd for dinner.

Just not too many meals, enough for Jiang Ran and his party to eat and drink, Dao Wu Ming, they barely dabbled in a couple of mouthfuls is not a big problem.

But if Cheng Tianyang and the others were added, it would be far from enough.

Fortunately, Cheng Tianyang and the others didn’t have the intention of coming over to dabble in food and drink.

They were escorting the dart, so it was better for them to eat their own things, and there were a lot of rules for escorting the dart, so they couldn’t drink alcohol when they were out.

So this meal is also very quiet.

They didn’t even say too many words to each other, at best, they introduced Jiang Ran to the dart leaders in Tianyang Dart Bureau.

After a meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Autumn Rhetoric Stage hadn’t been taken care of for many years, so naturally the rooms weren’t very clean.

Jiang Ran slightly organized it, which made it barely livable.

After a long day, he lay down on the couch with his clothes on, and the rain outside was more like a hypnotic song, causing him to fall asleep very quickly.

It was just that his gong was practiced internally, and his divine senses were felt externally.

Even though he was asleep, as long as there was the slightest movement in the outside world, he could instantly wake up.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the night.

Jiang Ran violently opened his eyes.

Then he looked towards the door of the room.

Just as he heard the door of his room clicking, someone was prying his bolt.

This person’s hands and feet were nimble, and soon the door bolt had been pried open.

A figure sneakily drilled in.

Turned around and brought the door again.

Only then did he move his small steps to Jiang Ran’s side.

When Jiang Ran saw this figure, he knew that it was Tang Yuyi.

He simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, wanting to see what this girl was planning to do.

As a result, he saw a sudden fluctuation in the flesh of her face, her blood and flesh jumped and jumped, and when she recovered, she became Tang Yuyi’s exquisite little face.

She carefully glanced at Jiang Ran:

“In the end, it’s my brother-in-law, I’m paying for a night by your side, you don’t think it’s too much to tell my sister, do you?”

When she said here, her figure seemed to be deflated, her height suddenly turned low, and her original fitted clothes became much larger.

Her chest was even bulging, causing her brows to furrow slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Reaching out, she gently poked Jiang Ran’s arm:

“I’m here, and you still don’t open your eyes? I don’t believe you didn’t notice.”

Jiang Ran then opened his eyes and looked at her:

“What’s there to see in the dark? That said, you’re considered my wife and sister, running to my brother-in-law’s room in the middle of the night, wanting to commit an act of mischief …… When the time comes, how am I going to explain it to Officer Tang, as well as your sister?

“Could it be that you two, intend to marry me together?”

“I dare to marry, do you dare to marry?”

Tang Yuyi, as a little demoness of the Devil Cult, how could she be defeated by Jiang Ran’s words?

It was exactly the opposite, towards Jiang Ran’s bedside, not to mention, lying down smoothly also pushed him inside:

“Brother-in-law, I’m afraid.

“You give me some place.”

“……”

Jiang Ran a burst of speechless: “What people ah ……”

“Your wife and sister.”

“You also do not say, listen to you say so, but it is strange exciting.”

“Man …… yuck.”

Tang Yuyi hummed, “If I wasn’t really too scared, why would I run here.”

“Then you went to find Ruan Yuqing.”

“I’m wearing Li Tianxin’s face and going to look for her? Are you out of your mind?”

“Then go find Luo Qingyi.”

“But I’m a girl after all, aren’t you afraid that I’ll be taken advantage of by him?”

“What cheapness do you have that’s worth someone taking advantage of?”

Jiang Ran scoffed mercilessly.

“What do you say!?”

Tang Yuyi proudly puffed out her chest.

“…… haven’t even grown up yet, so just calm down.”

“Who are you talking about!?”

Tang Yuyi was furious: “Have you ever seen one as good-looking as me?”

This question was difficult for Jiang Ran for a moment.

Before traveling here, he had naturally seen it before.

After all, there are still a lot of teaching materials stored in the computer, although nowadays it has probably become the murder weapon of his social death.

But in the end is considered to have seen a lot of knowledge ……

But after crossing over, he really hadn’t seen much.

Only, losing is not losing, Jiang Ran will not be defeated?

Immediately, he sneered:

“You’re afraid that you don’t understand me, I’ve seen a lot, where is there anything I haven’t seen before?”

“It’s Ye Shocking Frost?”

“…… Don’t talk nonsense, I am innocent with her.”

“The token of love has been given to you, still innocent, man’s mouth, you lie to the ghost.”

Tang Yuyi skimmed her lips, “That’s not Ye Shocking Frost, who else could it be?”

As she said this, she suddenly wanted to laugh:

“It can’t be that old flower girl who’s more than thirty years older than you, flamboyant and with a face like a pink wall, right?”

“…… Is the old drunkard crazy? Even telling you guys such details?”

Jiang Ran’s eyes widened.

“That’s natural, since you were a child, which one of these things wasn’t told to us plainly by him?

“Everything is always clear.

“So, you may be unfamiliar to us to the extreme, but we are most familiar with you …….”

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, and it was precisely because of this unequaled familiarity that it was hard to feel at ease.

He sighed softly and added:

“That old flower girl, probably twenty years older than me, thirty is still an exaggeration.”

“So you really think she’s better than me?”

Tang Yuyi was surprised.

“As a sister-in-law, lying on the same bed as your brother-in-law, discussing this kind of issue ……

“Tang Yuyi, do you have any shame at all?”

Jiang Ran was more or less annoyed.

“Hee hee ……”

Tang Painting Yi suddenly laughed:

“Brother-in-law, you seem to be afraid of me.

“Are you nervous? I’m a Demon Sect Demoness, how can I have a sense of shame? Brother-in-law, if you want to, it’s not like I can’t oh.”

“…… If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll throw you out and see who’s more afraid.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Tang Yuyi’s neck collar and was about to throw her off the bed.

Tang Yuyi was taken aback, not expecting this guy Jiang Ran to be so unaware of compassion.

A beauty like herself had climbed onto his bed, but he was still ruthless enough to throw her off.

Immediately, she stepped on him with a dead hand:

“Don’t don’t don’t, I’m wrong, I’m wrong not okay? Brother-in-law …… you, you just spare me once …… you always can’t bear to, look at your like a flower like jade sister-in-law, by that headless ghost took off the head right?

“That is also too ugly ……”

When she said this, she suddenly felt Jiang Ran s force disappear.

Thinking that her words had impressed him.

Immediately relieved, she said with a smile:

“It’s still brother-in-law who’s good ……”

“Silence.”

Jiang Ran, however, looked solemn, his brows furrowed as he looked toward the window.

Tang Wuyi couldn’t help but feel a jump in her heart when she saw that he looked different:

“What’s wrong, the headless ghost came out?”

“Out is out, but …… it has a head.”

Jiang Ran rolled over and got up, slipping the lifeless Tang Yuyi in one hand, while coming to the window’s heel.

Casually and gently pushing open a crack, he saw a silhouette that was running wildly in the rainy night:

“It’s Fengwu?”
