Chapter 185.
“Tea?”
Ximen Feng looked at the chains on his body and then at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smiled, “You can just open your mouth, I’ll help you.”
“…… I’m still used to drinking by myself.”
“That doesn’t matter.”
Jiang Ran got up, carrying the teacup to Ximen Feng’s front, and reached out to pinch open his mouth.
Ximen Feng’s eyes instantly glazed over:
“Wait wait wait …… what are you going to give me to drink?”
“Tea.”
“Is that how tea is drunk?”
“There’s a little bit of poison in it.”
“A little?”
“A lot.”
“You let go of me, I’m not drinking …… tons tons tons!”
After pouring the tea, Jiang Ran then let go of Ximen Feng.
Then he took his wrist and began to take his pulse.
Ximen Feng’s eyes were hollow, as if he had suffered some kind of unimaginable blow.
While watching Jiang Ran take his pulse, he was somewhat confused:
“What are you doing again? After poisoning me, you’re planning to cure me again?”
“Nothing, I’m determining if the poison has spread in your body.
“If it’s not enough, I’ll put down more.”
Jiang Ran said, “Brother Ximen, you’re very skillful, for you, I always feel that I can’t take it lightly …… Otherwise, if you accidentally run away, it’s not good to explain to the side of the Hundred Treasures Society.”
“……”
Ximen Rong slightly vomited blood.
What kind of person is this?
After poisoning someone, you still have to take their pulse to see if the poison has kicked in or not?
As for being so considerate?
After a long time, Jiang Ran let go of his hand and gently nodded:
“It’s okay, this poison has already spread in your body, by the way, in a responsible attitude I’ll tell you this poison …… is not something I figured out on my own, it’s from the Hundred Poisons Sect’s Hundred Poisons True Scripture.
“The name is very fancy, called a ‘Thousand Flowers and Ten Thousand Insects Scatter’.
“Actually, this is an exaggeration, not as much as Thousand Flowers and Ten Thousand Insects.
“In the final analysis, it’s also nothing more than a poison that’s a blend of nine kinds of poisonous flowers and five kinds of poisonous insects.
“Want to solve this poison, also not too easy …… first have to know, with poison nine kinds of flowers are what flowers, five kinds of poisonous insects and what insects.
“Subsequently also have to take each other’s dose, need to know, everything under the sky has the theory of mutual reinforcement.
“This and that are all changes, if you do not know the person who makes the poison, the difference is not even close to a thousand miles.
“Therefore, even if you escape from my hands, seekers want to match themselves with an antidote, that is absolutely impossible to do.
“Of course, you can try with your own life.
“What if I’m lying to you?”
Jiang Ran picked up his teacup and gently took a sip, glancing at Ximen Feng.
Ximen Feng’s mouth hadn’t closed until now.
Only after noticing Jiang Ran’s gaze did he murmur and open his mouth:
“You people, you’re too despicable, aren’t you? There’s a scam on the purple jade gourd, even drinking a cup of tea has to be poisoned ……
“And you still have the nerve to say you’re good people?
“Where’s the good? I shouldn’t have believed this old man’s bullshit, if I didn’t come here to find you, the two of us may not have ended up in this situation.”
Thinking of the sadness, his eyes reddened, almost falling into tears.
Jiang Ran had a heart of stone and didn’t care about it:
“How did you two meet together?”
“Why should I tell you?”
“Because your life is in my hands.”
Ximen Feng was furious: “Do you think I will grovel to others because of my own life?”
“No?”
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, “In that case, you seem to be of no use, so you can just hand it over to the Hundred Treasures Society.”
“I am!”
Ximen Feng spoke flatly:
“This matter is not that complicated to say the least.
“After doing great things in the daytime and getting things, you always have to take care of them.
“At that time, I had just placed the things, but suddenly I heard someone running wildly in the forest.
“It would have been night, and in the middle of the night someone was running around in the old forest …… no, it was on the barren mountain.
“This is very abnormal ……
“Things out of the ordinary there must be a demon, I then thought it was the hundred precious will come to catch me.
“Then I planned to secretly see what they were going to do.
“As a result, I didn’t expect that it wasn’t the people from the Hundred Precious Club who came.
“Instead, a group of left-handed people dressed in strange shapes …… They also carried a large box.
“The box looked opulent and precious.
“I then moved with the intention of stealing the chest.”
Ximen Feng was a thief, and, all along, he had always demanded of himself that ‘thieves don’t go empty’.
Now that such a large object was placed in front of him, where was the reason to let it go?
So he followed this group of people all the way, looking for opportunities.
As a result, the opportunity came a little faster than expected.
A group of uninvited guests appeared in the middle of the night, disrupting the group’s original route and causing them to retreat for a while.
Ximen Feng then took this opportunity to lead the two parties into a chaotic battle.
He took the opportunity to fight the box away …… all the way out several miles before opening it to check.
The result inside is not what gold and silver jewelry, but a big living person.
At that time, Ximen Feng was a bit dumbfounded.
Thieves steal things is very normal, but stealing people is a bit of professional mismatch.
After all, he wasn’t some kind of flower thief, and what was in the box wasn’t any ‘flower’, but an old man in his fifties.
Torn for a long time, he had planned to abandon it.
But after hesitating until the end, he still brought the man out, after all, he has always been self-proclaimed as a ‘great benefactor’, where is the reason to see death to save?
As a result, without waiting for him to save the person, he was approached by the people from the Hundred Preciousness Society.
The two of them were nearly arrested together.
In order to get rid of the Hundred Precious Society, Ximen Feng carried Cheng Tianyang on his back and ran wildly all the way, with the Hundred Precious Society in hot pursuit behind him.
Just at the critical moment, Cheng Tianyang woke up.
However, he was heavily injured, and even though he woke up, he couldn’t help much.
In the darkness, he didn’t know what kind of people were chasing them behind, and thought that they were still the demons of the Left Road Zhuang.
He himself was saved by Ximen Feng.
Seeing that there is no way to the sky, no door to the ground, and then continue like this will be dead.
Cheng Tianyang then proposed to Qifeng Manor line.
Said that there is a Jiang young warrior anxious and righteous, and he also has a number of acquaintances, and now in the Qifeng Manor, when it will not see death to save.
Ximen Feng secretly drumming things is okay, this positive hard, is not the style of the thief.
After hearing this, immediately reversed direction, relying on a top lightweight, hard to run to this Qifeng Manor.
But because he also has injuries on his body, running to the roof of Jiang Ran, the foot is a soft, two people rolled down from the roof.
This want to hurry to fly away, then go to find that Jiang young warrior ……
But I did not expect that the one who opened the door was Jiang Ran.
A word of narration, probably its will explain the situation once.
Of course, there are ambiguous, incoherent place.
For example, Ximen wind will be purple jade gourd and other types of treasures hidden in where, he is sometimes barren mountain, sometimes woods, sometimes mine ……
But as a whole, the vein is still clear.
Details Jiang Ran a little consideration, also able to right.
Then he nodded gently, glanced at Ximen Feng and asked:
“What kind of grudge do you have with the Hundred Treasures Society?”
“That grudge is huge!”
Ximen Feng snorted coldly:
“The Hundred Precious Society is unkind to the rich, there are so many poor people under the sky, yet they only care about amassing wealth and never consider benefiting the world.
“All the poor will be alone, and the rich will benefit the world’s behavior.
“Since the wealth of the world is gathered in one body, isn’t it unusual for me to take it to feed the people?”
“……”
Jiang Ran shook his head, “Crooked reasoning, still revitalized.”
“Don’t come on, you’re just the same as them.”
Ximen Feng glanced coldly at Jiang Ran:
“This old man is simply blind, and says you’re some kind of good person.
“And anxious and …… chivalrous?
“Which is half of it? It’s simply a despicable, shameless, secretive villain.”
“I didn’t expect that Mister Jiang’s nature would be seen through by a thief, since that’s the case, it’s better for me to kill you to silence you.”
Jiang Ran smiled as he reached out and pressed the hilt of his sword.
Ximen Feng gulped and said:
“Young warrior Jiang is a modest gentleman, I expect that he won’t lay such a killer on someone who can’t resist, right?”
“Wasn’t he still a villain just now?”
“I don’t want to die, I’ve changed my words, okay?”
“……”
Jiang Ran was almost happy, this Ximen Feng’s character, seemed to be a bit of a scoundrel.
His face was also thick, and when he said something, he could eat it back in the twinkling of an eye.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ran asked Ximen Feng, do you know what is the origin of the group of people encountered by Zuo Dao Zhuang this evening?
Ximen Feng thought for a moment and said:
“I think they should be people from the Falling Flowers and Smoking Rain Alliance.”
“It’s them?”
Jiang Ran’s heart stirred slightly.
The Falling Flower Smoke and Rain Alliance was one of the thirteen gangs.
To be able to appear in such a place at this time, it was more than likely that they were also here for Jiao Tail.
Moreover, don’t look at the name “Falling Flower Smoke and Rain Alliance”, it sounded as if it was still poetic.
In reality, the Flower Rain and Smoke Alliance is so overbearing that it’s even better than the Blood Sword Hall.
Jiang Ran heart thought for a long time, then looked up, saw Ximen Feng eyes dribbling around, do not know in thinking about what things.
Then he laughed softly, suddenly turned the blade, swung round and smashed.
Ximen Feng’s eyes, which were spinning around, were instantly fixed and turned into horror, as the handle of this blade directly disliked his neck.
It made his head tilt and he passed out.
“Come man.”
Jiang Ran shouted softly to the outside.
Immediately, footsteps hurriedly arrived outside Jiang Ran’s door:
“Disciple in.”
With a wave of Jiang Ran’s sleeve, the door to the room opened, and he saw several disciples in Blood Sword Hall attire standing outside waiting.
Although Xuanyuan Yidao had gone to help Jiang Ran with his errands, he had still left quite a few disciples around Jiang Ran’s small courtyard for him to drive around.
Jiang Ran didn’t take this as surveillance either, and used it all nonchalantly:
“Take this man away and find an empty room to lock him up.
“Keep an eye out for when he’ll wake up, and before he does, just knock him out again.”
“Yes, respectfully following the order of the Taishang Gang Master.”
Immediately, the person in charge waved his hand, and two Blood Sword Hall disciples set this Ximen Feng out.
After waiting for the door of the room to close, Jiang Ran gently exhaled a breath:
“The Hundred Treasures Society, the Penetrating Thunder Hall, the Falling Flower Smoke and Rain Alliance, the Left Dao Manor, and small sects like the Qifeng Mountain Manor and the Listening to the Rain Building.
“This time’s Tea Tasting and Qin Appreciation Conference will only be really lively.”
Glancing at Cheng Tianyang, who was still unconscious, Jiang Ran came to him and flexed his fingers on his body.
Only then did Cheng Tianyang wake up leisurely.
First, he swept around the room and finally looked at Jiang Ran, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but grin:
“Young warrior Jiang, you nodded my sleeping point?”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
“Chief Bodyguard Cheng is due for a good night’s sleep, how are you feeling?”
“…… Not bad.”
When he said this, he coughed one after another, and for a moment he couldn’t help but frown:
“If it wasn’t for that young man tonight, I’m afraid I’d really be in a bad way.”
Jiang Ran smiled, knowing that he still wanted to help Ximen Feng plead for mercy, and didn’t pick up on it just asked:
“It was the people from the Left Dao Zhuang who made the move?”
“That’s right.”
Cheng Tianyang nodded and sighed again:
“I’m not afraid to laugh at young warrior Jiang when I say it, at the beginning, I surprisingly really didn’t notice it in the slightest.
“It wasn’t until after they made their move that I recognized that the so-called head of the Zhou Family was actually the head of the Left Dao Zhuang’s ‘Four Evil Sect’, the ‘Divine Sect’ Bo Yan!”
“Four Evil Sect?”
Jiang Ran mused slightly, his brows furrowing slightly:
“What Chief Bodyguard Cheng is talking about, is it not the Bull Ghosts and Snakes of the Left Dao Zhuang?”
“Precisely!”
Cheng Tianyang nodded:
“‘God Sect’ Bo Yan, ‘Snake Sect’ Qu Zhi, ‘Ghost Sect’ Hai Tan, ‘Bull Sect’ ‘Ambush Demon.
“These are the four evil sects of the Left Dao Zhuang nowadays ……
“And these people, in addition to that Ghost Sect Hai Tan is twenty years ago before ascending to this position, the other three are out of the jianghu at least more than thirty years of experts.
“Thirty years ago the Ghost Sect, Jiang young warrior do not know if you have heard of …… its people are the remaining members of the Searching God Sect, named Liao Chengfeng.”
Ghost Sect Liao Chengfeng!
Jiang Ran naturally knew.
The Subterranean Shadow Misty God Steps that Jiang Ran often used nowadays was the Soothsayer God Sect’s mastery.
“Then what is the relationship between this Ghost Sect Hai Tan and Liao Chengfeng?”
Whenever Liao Chengfeng was mentioned in this jianghu, he was described as a remnant of the God Searching Sect.
It was thought that Hai Tan should not be from the God Searching Sect.
“There is no relationship between them, if I have to say, the reason why Liao Chengfeng was able to roam the world with the name of ‘Ghost Sect’ in the early years was also because of the power of Zuo Dao Zhuang.
“It’s just a pity that the Soothsayer Sect has offended too many people.
“Even Zuo Daozhuang couldn’t protect this Liao Chengfeng when it came to it.
“This is why his person went extinct in the jianghu, not knowing where he is.”
“He’s already dead.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Some time ago, I once met up with him in Penma County on the edge of Cangzhou Prefecture, and this person had already died in the melee that day.”
Cheng Tianyang froze and nodded slightly:
“It’s good to be dead, these are also old stories and not worth mentioning.
“These people who struck out at me this time were led by the Four Evil Sects, and these four have now gathered in the Evergreen Mansion.
“At the same time, there is also Niangzi Wu, Jin Sanding and a cadre of other Left Dao Zhuang experts ……
“I was caught off guard, hit by the snake sect Qu Zhi’s [seven inches of fixed qi finger], all the martial arts to play out less than half, plus they have the intention to count without the intention, the time, place and people are not in my.
“In the end this battle was a big loss!”
Cheng Tianyang said here, his face was full of bitterness: “Tianyang Dart Bureau is known as the Golden Cicada First Dart Bureau, this time, is really a disgrace.”
“Zuo Dao Zhuang is not a good generation, more trickery, can not be defended.
“Under the intention to count without intention, it’s not a big deal for Chief Bodyguard Cheng to end up like this.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Does Chief Bodyguard Cheng know what exactly you are escorting in this single dart?”
“It’s a batch of porcelain.”
Cheng Tianyang said:
“The person who entrusted me to transport this batch of things is a rich merchant with a prestigious family background and clean history.
“And on the side of the Zhou family, they are also serious businessmen.
“Both sides I am familiar with, only the left road Zhuang has the art of changing faces to fake, so that I did not find out for a while.
“But if I’m given the time, I should still be able to find the clues if I go back and consider it carefully.”
Jiang Ran nodded, this was the reason why Zuo Dao Zhuang clearly had such an opportunity, but still wanted to kill and kill.
And not only that, if Ximen Feng’s words were true, it seemed that they also wanted to take Cheng Tianyang captive.
What exactly is the purpose here, it’s not too easy to say ……
Most likely, it was somewhat related to the Chongshan Sect.
But this wasn’t the most critical thing nowadays.
The most crucial thing nowadays was that it was impossible for Zuo Dao Zhuang to use a batch of delicate porcelain to achieve some terrible purpose.
Jiang Ran considered in his heart, this batch of things is either stolen by someone, or under the normal darts, there is another hidden …… But what exactly is hidden, no one knows.
Just as he thought of this, he saw Cheng Tianyang roll over and get up.
Jiang Ran froze, “Chief Bodyguard Cheng, you are seriously injured, you still need to rest first.”
“Rest is not allowed.”
Cheng Tianyang said:
“The dart that Ego Tianyang Dart Bureau lost, there must be a result no matter what.
“Moreover, the Zhou Family has been dove-tailed, whether they are alive or dead, there has to be a conclusion as well.
“All of these things, I have to go to investigate clearly …… to the point of not being able to find the things back, otherwise, there is no way to account for it.”
Jiang Ran nodded at his words, but then suddenly remembered something and asked:
“Speaking of which, how does Chief Bodyguard Cheng know that I’m at Qifeng Mountain Villa?”
Separated before the city gates, Ning Jiu Kite met afterward, how was Cheng Tian Yang sure that he would be in the Qifeng Mountain Manor?
Cheng Tianyang smiled at his words and was about to open his mouth when he heard a buzzing sound, as if a sharp arrow had broken through the air.
Jiang Ran and Cheng Tianyang exchanged a glance and immediately came out of the room, looking up to see that high above the building, a young man was holding a large bow and was reaching for an arrow.
Eyes gazing into the darkness, he opened his bow and strung an arrow, and there was a faint glow flowing above the tip of the arrow.
To wait for the bow full moon, suddenly let go, that feather arrow suddenly like chasing the moon shooting star instantly far away.
Hear a miserable scream, from the distance.
Jiang Ran and Cheng Tianyang flew up, and saw a hidden figure, from the edge of Qifeng Mountain fell down.
At the same time, there were several other figures, somewhat panicked, looking for a place to hide.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:
“Who are these people?”
Li Tianyu whispered:
“Big brother Jiang don’t worry, they are not people from the Hundred Treasures Society …… I can tell the difference.
“This gang of people are climbing up the cliff, either they are assassins from the Lifeless Building, or, they are outlaws with other intentions.”
Jiang Ran nodded, about to speak but suddenly froze:
“Lady Wu?”
Among the crowd, a black-clothed woman who looked full of charm stood there.
He exchanged a glance with Jiang Ran from afar, and Jiang Ran immediately tapped Li Tianyu’s shoulder and reached out to point at the woman:
“Shoot her to death.”
Li Tianyu immediately nodded his head, and without even thinking about it, he shot an arrow.
But Wu Niangzi had already prepared for it, and with a turn of her body, she drifted away.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and instructed Li Tianyu:
“Kill all the peers.”
As the words fell, he chased after her with a single step.
